There was nothing, only darkness, and dampness. Vibration shook my frail frame, keeping me from the solace of sleep. It had only been last night... My Princess, and my best friend was sent into exile to her precious gem that lights the sky. Her sister called upon the Elements of Harmony, and next Luna was gone... My wail was still a vivid echo in my ears.

"No! Please! Show her mercy, Celestia!"

The look in the tyrant's eyes... I should have known my pleas would have fell on deaf ears. My eyes turned up to the barred window, where silver light filtered through the iron. The sound of rustling and clinking could be heard, as I moved my hind legs before I would be pulled back violently. I slowly looked behind me, noticing my hooves were in shackles and I was kept from looking towards my friend's joy.

A whimper escaped my mouth, one of misery as I stared towards the window. Soon I reared and attempted to desperately reach towards the wall with my fore hooves and rest them on it. I opposed the tyrant along with Luna's other children, and her other follower's. It would make sense why I was jailed... The iron around my hind quarters harshly pressed towards the base of my legs as I attempted to glimpse the precious light of my Princess's gem.

"You don't cry alone, my friend Luna... Your children mourn with you." I whispered to the window.

It crossed my curiosity as to who else was banished or chained for being a sympathizer. Her guards...surely. I only faintly knew them, a knock came to my door and my gaze turned to the large metal slab. I queried who entreated entrance, my answer followed in as none other than the tyrant, herself.

"Star, I know that her banishment struck you hard. I will not apologize for what had to be done."

I glared at her fiercely, my flank stung due to cuts over it from a forgotten fight.

"Don't come and speak your false grievances to me, I wish not to hear them."

My words bore no warmth, nor did my gaze which burned with cold hatred into the tyrant's. My next statement almost seemed to cause her some sadness, which was not long lasting.

"Why do you hold me here? Instead of banish me too, or kill me?" I growled these in a hoarse whisper.

Her worry and sadness vanished as soon as it appeared, brief like how she exiled my best friend. Her sorrow for casting Luna to her prison was nothing, nothing more than an empty feeling to her. One she should be forced with for years, like she has forced on the dark mare and her children.

"I was hoping to sway your thoughts Star... I was so hoping to."

Celestia sighed and shook her head, while standing and turning.

"I see as though, I can not."

I looked into a pool of rain water, all that greeted me was the reflection of myself looking poorly. My murky coat was a mess, crimson covered me in patches and the shine that my best friend usually noted in my green eyes, was gone.

"If I can not change your mind, then like her guards, I shall exile you also."

"So be it, fiend. It better serves than here." I turned back to the sun-bearing tyrant.

It was no sooner her voice sounded again, and with an unalarming malice. Her personal guards flooded into the cell, causing me to whirl with narrowed eyes.

"Knock her out and relocate her to Ponyville. But render her flightless."

She was making her minions break my wings. I was not about to give them the satisfaction, my wings unfurled and thrust the air furiously, her guards easily held their ground while slowly advancing. Closer, at this point I wasn't sure what to do. I tried to move back, but the weight of one guard on the chains caused me to be forced to the ground.

"You could have saved yourself from this, traitor." A guard growled at me, his horn was glowing grey before he added,"I'm sorry you had no sense to join her."

My own growl answered the unicorn's, but it was cut off by a rush of pain and a nauseous feeling, blood flooded my mouth and I could also smell it. My shoulders and back howled with an unrealistic agony, the pain was unbearable and my eyes stung with crystalline tears, my gaze was hazing over. I was unsure as to how long I could stay awake any longer, so I aimed a thread to the tyrant and her day-dwellers.

"I promise by Luna's night that I'll return to-"

I couldn't finish my promise, as I suddenly was wrenched into unconsciousness by the pain, and the guise of darkness appeared in my vision.

While this entire adventure is beginning, a note from me, your author I would love to point out is my writing may be rusty a bit, it's been years since I've written a fanfiction and it's beginning to come back. Input would be appreciated, any it may be to make this or anything else better.

For the record, I do not own My Little Pony, nor would I probably wish to, none of the characters I use in this are mine but my own, Star.
