" Where is she! " Lazura snapped as she stomped in through the large oak door leading into the Royal Hall, a Earth Pony with a golden coat staring towards her blankly her honey colored eyes filled with no sense of emotion.
" Who the puppet? " Spoke the mare her boss casting a wicked stare her way not amused at all by her attitude.
" Of course Black Heart!, she missed her study session with Wisdom Seed today! " Lazura growled through her teeth her anger building within her every second.
Flipping her platinum blonde mane over her backside Black Heart shrugged in a lethargic manner.
" I might have seen that filly running around the castle gardens earlier., if I may though why do we need such a pest infesting our home anyways? " Black Heart rolled her eyes while her boss slowly walked closer towards her., leaning in every so slightly.
" Bait., the time is almost nigh the space between the realm's is just about to be beyond repair." Lazura spoke in a calculating manner her eyes filled with an odd sense of twisted happiness.
" And when that time comes we will make our move., Invade this Equestria and then at long last have Celestia bow to me! " Lazura allowed a soft giggle to escape her lips before turning around walking towards the door again.
" Alert the guards' if they see Rainbow Dash have her delivered to my chambers'." Lazura spat in a cold icy tone as she trotted out of view.
" But of course my Queen." Black Heart spoke her voice filled with a faux polite tone as she kneeled slightly in a curtsy till her better had left the room completely.
" Is the weapon ready? " Black Heart spoke her tone switching back to being cold and emotionless, a red maned earth pony slowly walking out from behind a hidden pathway behind a large bookcase.
A loud creak could be heard as the bookcase slowly closed behind the pony sealing shut tightly with a wicked hiss., the mare simply smiled her red mane in curls eyes a piercing blue.
Forgotten Hollow was a home of many sorrows, many who lived there had no true place to call home the streets were over crowded by homeless ponies forced to fend for themselves in the dark alleyways.
Fillies were starving dirty and sick along the streets, taxes kept all down as nopony could last long enough to make a worthwhile time in this place., crime filled the city like a plague if one didn't learn to fight to survive they would perish.
The sun above barely shined at all and if it did odd dark clouds would block out its shimmering rays, eternal twilight was a curse many pony learned to live with in this sad place.
A figure quickly jumped from one roof top to another bolting as quickly as she could for the west side of city the darkness around suited her well., she was never one for the light it never warmed her only burned.
With a loud thud Nightingale made one last jump for a far off building only to miss the edge by a mere inch quickly she felt herself plummeting down towards the hard cement below.
Wincing preparing for impact she suddenly felt a tackle at her side as she flew into a pile of old trash before hitting the ground., opening her eyes she could see Rainbow Dash smiling to her sheepishly.
" Nice moves Gale but if I hadn't been looking for you I think you'd be roadkill." Dash giggled as Nightingale huffed aloud a stray banana peel tangled into her mane.
" Whatever., I've bounced back from worse." Nightingale spoke her voice filled with a dry sense of sadness and anger while she jumped up from the pile shaking off the trash from her coat gently.
" Phst, a simple thank you would also have been nice." Dash rolled her eyes slightly her friend had always seemed distant as if her mind wasn't always thinking of the task at hoof.
It didn't really bug her though she found it interesting how could a pony not care what happened to her as if she didn't care if she lived or faded away., deep in her heart she felt as if she needed to keep an eye on the unicorn.
" Ponies don't always get what they want Dash remember that., I would usually want to talk but I'm busy today." Nightingale spoke as she nodded over to a torn and worn saddlebag on her side., Dash let her ears fold back slightly.
" Everytime I sneak out of the castle lately you seem to be busy., is it work or are you just tired of me? " Dash asked in a slightly hurt tone as soft drizzle began to fall from above a light mist forming across the town.
Nightingale gazed down her ears slightly twitching as she could hear the thunder in the distance., her mind running a blank on what to tell Dash she felt under the weather today as if inside a piece of her was missing.
She frowned knowing that would sound crazy to her friend., she merely let herself think that she was just feeling sick and that it would pass then soon she'd be back to normal.
" No it's not you trust me., I just have to do this alone." Nightingale spoke her voice filled with reassurance as Dash nodded along.
" Alright, see you around. " Dash forced a smile knowing her teacher Lazura within the castle was going to be mad at her for ditching her studies for the day.
But she had too being locked up in the castle day after day made her yearn for the outdoors, she knew her spirit had to fly free not be locked up within a cage made of stone.
Watching her friend gallop off into the mist she felt a tug in her chest, why did Nightingale remind her of sompony else a face she could not name but in her dreams she could make out a bright yellow coat and a lovely pink mane.
The sun in the sky slowly lowered as Luna began her job to raise the moon basking all at canterlots' garden party in a calming yellow glow, the clapping of hooves could be heard all around the party everyponies attention was on the Princess eyes filled with wonder and awe.
None noticed the odd green glow coming from within Celesitas' room echoing off the balcony before fading back to normal.
" As promised your majesty we've bypassed all the castles security." Wildfire smirked as she trotted over to Celestias bed slowly jumping atop it and taking a break.
Chrysalis gazed around with a wicked smile across her face eyes burning with excitement.
" Yes. your powers' are quite remarkable young mare." The queen spoke in a soft tone not wishing to draw attention.
" Besides with the creature's of the void serving you, you don't have to worry about those pesky changeling's messing everything up." Wildfire giggled wickedly as Chrysalis shot her an angry look walking over to her not amused at all.
" Those pests' you speak of are my subject's! " Chrysalis hissed to Wildfire who simply rolled her eyes.
" I apologize slip of the tongue." Wildfire gently popped her lips in front of the Queen who growled under her breath as she spun around walking towards the door.
" You do whatever it is you are here to do, I'll take care of Celestia but once you're done come to my aid I might need you." Chrysalis spoke in a huff trotting out of the chamber as Wildfire nodded.
" Enjoy the power while you can you simple-minded fool." Wildfire scoffed as the Queen left giving her the sign to complete her job here then leave as soon as possible.
Shining armor stood close to a lone bush off in the corner of the party keeping out of view yet having a watchful eye for any trouble that wished to slip in during the night.
Though since Chrysalis's last attack security has gone down a bit., yet everypony on The Guard was set on never being made fool's of again a promise they all swore to keep.
" Phst, Shiny look I'm a bush." A snarky voice giggled aloud softly as the stallion turned around seeing a slender black muzzle sticking out of the small bush behind him.
Not saying a word Shining Armor simply gave a blank stare a frown placed across his face.
" Gimmie all your berries' nom-nom-nom." The muzzle playfully spoke before a small caterpillar crawled up the side and into her mouh as Sapphire suddenly popped her head out with her tongue hanging out as she spat a few times gagging some.
" Sapphire why are you here? " Shining Armor whispered in an angry tone as he glared to the odd draconequus hybrid she never caused any trouble so he and most of the guard let her be when passing on the streets, yet never had she snuck into the castle.
Softly flicking her tongue with her hoof she simply made a smile at Shining Armor afterwards her multicolored eyes filled with a small sense of mischief.
" Well I was hoping to mingle with the upper crust just a bit." Sapphire giggled as in a flash of light she appeared in a fancy golden-colored dress her mane put up high in a elegant fashion.
" What?, No! " Shining Armor spoke in a confused tone as he quickly pushed the mare back into the bushes as a few guest's trotted by.
" Not fancy enough? " Sapphire spoke hidden in the bush before a flash again came from inside Princess Cadance swiftly hopping out and into Shining Armors' hooves giggling.
" Take me my stallion!, I'm yours! " Sapphires' voice came out of Cadences mouth as she flaunted a hoof over her eyes dramatically.
The stallion quickly dropped her to the ground with a thud as a small pink poof caused her to return to her normal form with a sweet smile across her face as she gazed up to her friend., or at least hoped he was her friend it was a thing she lacked with a lot of ponies.
" Get out of here now or I will alert the guard! " The stallion had enough stomping his hoof on the ground hard before a sudden blast could be heard from inside the castle.
The garden full of guest's suddenly screamed aloud as another blast went off shaking the grounds, The Princesses stood proud at attention as many guard's surrounded them ready for a fight.
One solider ran over to Shining Armor gasping for air., his eyes filled with both worry and fear.
" Sir!, the castle is under attack by creatures' we've never seen before we're outnumbered! " The Solider spoke his voice quivering and body shivering with uncertainty.
" Get ahold of yourself solider!, gather the Elites' and meet me at the front door I'll lead the charge! " Shining Armor snapped right into a business like tone as he cast Sapphire a glare.
" I'll help." Sapphire tried to speak in a more serious tone only to have the stallion nod no.
" If you wish to help then get out of here! " Shining Armor snapped as he rushed off towards the battle ahead.
Ears folding back Sapphire slowly started to walk away she should have known better to think she could make friend's with the ponies, she wasn't one of them she could never belong.
