She fired a blast of magic at me as I charged at her with half my speed. I thrust the staff forwards as it collided with her armor sending her skidding back a few feet. Using the momentum from my hit she took flight with her wings as her horn charged up with her magic. Looking at her impassively I began to run to the right as the ray of magic hit where I once was. I ran in a semi-circle around her as her magic followed behind me, ripping up the terrain behind me before I put a small amount of magic into my legs and jumped at her at the speed of a bullet. Catching her in a clothesline before I released a small burst a magic out of my boots pushed me back just after I collided with her as I spun sideways and hit her in the back sending her into the surface with a boom.

Quickly turning around I fired the rifle in my staff sending me flying downwards. She pushed out of the way as the staff hit the ground, impaling itself into it as I used a to pull a handstand. She jumped at me with a yell as I spun around on the staff before both of my feet collided with her stomach sending her flying as I pulled my staff out of the ground. She skidded a few times as I slowed a small amount of magic into my eyes to see farther and noticed she went flying at least a mile away. Twirling my staff I hit a button to turn it into its full rifle form as I took aim at her.

I started to walk slowly towards her as her horn lit up and many projectiles came flying towards me... I calmly continued to take aim as they began to hit all around me in an explosion... one went past my head as I then fired at her just as one of her bolts hit the ground in front of me... walking out of the dust I noticed that my bullet hit its mark... the tendon in her right wing... she cried out in pain as I fired again. This time hitting her left-wing tendon. I fired again...

back left leg...

again...

back right leg...

I quickly fired another two times.

Both her front legs went out from under her as she was roaring out in pain. I used another quickening spell and appeared just 10 feet in front of her. She had a face of pure pain and rage. Swapping between the two every couple seconds as I turned my rifle into its javelin form... she looked at me as she heard me approach with fear in her eyes.

I stood in front of her for a few minutes as I noticed Luna walk up next to me. She was giving Moon a look of pity and sadness as I had a small suspicion... using my magic I looked over Moon's very being I narrowed my eyes as I could see the darkness of her very being... but her soul was what stopped me from ending it... it was nothing like Luna's soul... "Luna... you said she formed from your negative emotions correct?"

"that is correct..." she asked confused as to why I asked.

"her soul is nothing like yours... if she was your darkness her soul would only be slightly different... but hers is different entirely beside one aspect of it..." I raised my right arm and used half of my remaining magic into a healing spell. "which only shows between two special people... twins..." Luna looked surprised while the moon was barely conscious when I started to heal her. "have you ever had a twin, Luna?"

"no... I cant say I have..."

I put a hand to my chin... could it be possible? Could their magic have been so similar that once they were conceived... instead of twins they combined into a single being... while one took the dominant role the other took the role of the sleeping passenger for so long. Waking up to only the negative emotions... having only Luna's memories she put herself as Luna's darker side.

Twins sometimes have one good child and one bad child. Luna good. Moon bad. I believe that is the case here. The only reason why Moon became evil was that she basically absorbed all of Luna's negative emotions and only had Luna's memories. " I believe..." I crouched down... and stared at Moon directly in the eye... "that there is more happening here then what you two would think. I believe something happened at your birth. Instead of one, there was two... the magic being extremely similar with one another wasn't able to stay separated and combined... two souls... one body..."

"but she is my inner darkness... is she not?" Luna asked.

"basically she absorbed your negative emotions. So she technically is but also isn't She is still your twin sister regardless of what you may think. The only reason why she is evil was because of your negative emotions to sustain her. Her souls personality only absorbed negative emotions to keep her alive since you were using all of your positive emotions to hold back your jealousy. By all means, a simple spell should allow me to revert her to what she used to be... although... her memories will be gone... she won't remember anything... at... all..."

Luna looked at the unconscious figure in front of us... Nightmare Moon was drifted in and out of unconsciousness. Luna looked unsure of what to do. I knew what she was thinking about too. For one she made her attempt to overthrow their sister due to jealousy... but on the other, it was her own negative emotions that made her evil in the first place... "whats... the spell going to really do?" she asked unsurely.

"its known as the Reset spell. It completely resets the body to what it would be like for the average species it has been used on. It's a very taxing spell that could potentially kill the one its used on if done improperly. This is only told to those who don't have the book of clan spells with them. Thankfully for us, I have it." I pulled it out once more. "although unfortunately, I don't have even magic to do it..."

"would it be possible to gift you with some magic?"

"it would take a lot of time for yours to regenerate wouldn't it?"

"I will simply absorb her magic and transfer it to yours. You did say our magic was the same did you not?" she asked confused as I nodded. "then let us do it... I wish to properly greet my... twin... sister quickly."

she put a hoof onto Moon as I saw magic come off of her body and into Luna's. She gained the same glow that her body had earlier. I then watched as she pointed her horn at me and a stream of magic flowed from it and into my chest.

I couldn't keep the magic in me for long or else it would wreck my system. So quickly opening the book to the right page I began to speak the ancient language Runes appeared swirling around me as I stared at Moon's body to give the magic the direction to flow into. She also began to glow as I made it halfway through the ritual. My body already massively taxed as I believed I would have one-tenth of my magic remaining after I was done, hopefully enough for what I have planned in the future, and then I began to incite the final few words... before a flash of red occurred on Moon's body... an explosion occurred that threw Luna towards me. Catching her, her momentum carried over to me as we skidded on the surface for 10 feet. Turning her around knowing what was coming next there was another pulse of magic as it collided with my back sending pain flaring through my body.

I held onto Luna as tightly as I could as another burst hit my back., stronger than the first one, causing me to spew up a little blood. Once the final one hit I collapsed to my knees as Luna looked at me worriedly. "ill... be alright... it's always dangerous... for the caster... to be this injured..." she continued to look at me with worry as I glowed the same color as her magic. I felt relief on my back as her eyes stared in concentration on my bleeding back. Once she was finished all that was left were very small almost unnoticeable holes in my cape. Giving her my thanks, I stood up as we both walked over to where Moon was... Luna gasped at what she now looked like. She now looked exactly like Luna. Which is quite common with twins so it's no surprise to me. The only difference being she still had her original colors and tattoo on her flank. "oh... what happened..." and I was now surprised... the fact she can remember how to talk of all things considered Although now that I think about it it was never used on a... sentient... creature...

man, I almost fucked up didn't I.

"you were saved, sister..." Luna said with eyes full of tears of happiness.

"sister?" she asked sounding unsure of herself.

"yes... your name is..." she looked unsure. Possibly of to change her name or give her the name she used to be known as. "Nightmare Moon..." and keeping it it is.

"Nightmare moon... so that is my name sister?" she asked as Luna nodded happily. "what... happened to cause me to forget."

"a complication when you were conceived in your parents." I stated. "or possibly but I believe its the best possibility. You and Luna's bodies came together but your souls remain separated. After over a thousand years you were finally found and saved with a spell your twin sister and I used to help you... while at the same time purging you of the darkness inside of you... the darkness that corrupted you... and changed you..." I told her. "but you're safe now at least."

"i... thank you for helping me... for helping my sister... did I do anything bad while I was corrupted?" she then asked with a worried and concerned look on her face.

"yes..."

"Arthur!" Luna yelled.

"there is still a chance she will remember what she has done Luna. To tell her now would be best before you both return home." she looked hesitant to allow me to continue talking. "but if you wish to tell her alone I will walk away." she looked at Moon for a few seconds before nodding at me. I gave her a nod as I picked up the spell book and walked away. Wondering just what all she would tell her.
