The Fateful Tale of the Sisters Two

Admonishing

Today was very empty. Not much could keep a strong enough leash on my mind to keep my thoughts from wondering back to Sombra. My sister and I were playing boardgames in her bedroom, though I couldn't seem to focus on getting my game piece out of the labranth. "Ooh, a six, I'll go... this way. You know, we could almost do this in the palace labranth, but we'd probably get lost. Then again, we can fly," my sister babbled. "Huh? Oh, yea..." I said being snapped back to reality. I lifted the die with my magic and let it drop. A one. I moved my character, a red horse, one space backward, I had walked into a corner the previous turn. "Are you okay?" My sister and best freind asked. I could tell her, right? She wouldn't be mad? So I shared my story. "He was so nice, the most amazing colt I'd ever met!" I cheered. "Aww, he sounds lovly, he lives at the orphanage you said?" I nodded yes to her question. "I hope a lovly family adopts him and he has a wonderful new life with them." She said calmly. I smiled. She was my best freind, Sombra was an amazing kindhearted colt, but nothing is more important than family. Annette and I spent a long time after that talking about anything and everything until it was time for her to set the sun. "Why don't we preform theese duties together tonight? I can help cast a few stars, maby you can even help me with the Sun." She asked, her tired eyes aglow. I nodded in excitment, it had been a long time since we made the sky beutiful together, I loved my sister.

My sister flew up to the sun so her body became an orange silhouette. Then she slowly sunk back to Earth at the same speed as the sun went behind the horizon. I copied her as the gleaming moon took its position in the sky. I loved my moon, it's shimmer and glow, how it illuminated the dark sky. In the twilite some of the clouds glew a deep purple color as I started inserting stars. Everything was incredible, and Netty made a few stars to. Then we spread out on the cool grass of the hill overlooking the garden. We looked at constellations together and made up our own new ones. We watched the stars and laughed together until we could hardly keep our eyes open. " *yawn* I'm going to bed, see ya tomorrow." Annette mumbled already stumbling back inside. I decided I should sleep too.

Sleep is an odd yet wonderful thing. I wouldn't know what is feels like for you, but being born to represent all that is night I have a special gift. I can walk through the dreams of others, but cannot dream myself, though I do receive visions. I often appear inside nightmares to help calm the horrors and show the dreamer how to face their real fear, to keep nightmares at bay and improve their waking life. Tonight I watched a young blue colt with a seaweed green mane drown in dark waters. I noticed his destiny mark was a wave. "Enough!" My voice echoed through the boys mind as the waves drained away. I comforted him and asked him about his true fear, I spent about three hours with him. It was one of my duties. We discovered that his true fear was not the waters, but his destiny mark. A destiny mark appeared on your flank when you realized what made you special or what you could spend the rest of your life doing. He was scared of growing up. I told him that it was ultimately his choice, and that there was nothing to fear, there is always someone to fall back on, and everyone did it and would understand. He began to wake up, and I left. The next dream I was ripped out of before I even got to see what was going on. I always had perfect control over where I went in my dreams. What was going on? I found myself on the border of Equestria, I'd never gone to the edge, I stayed inside Banterlot's walls most of my life. There were two creatures. One was black and red, he stood on four horse legs but had a humanish body with hands and arms and a horned head like a goat. He addressed the other as his brother, though I saw no resemblance. The other looked like a lion on two legs with two reddish bat wings. "We have waited too long already. We must act now if we ever want to take this land, and it's magic," the black and red creature said, his low voice rumbling like a volcano ready to blow. I suddenly realized how tall he was, likw seven unicorns stacked one over the other. His brother spoke, "Tirek, I believe we should let them be, the horses are a kind civilization, I do not wish to harm them." Tirek arranged his horrifying face into an enraged snarl, "You are useless, Scorpan!" He raged. "We attack now, kill all who oppose us, steal their magic, and burn their sorry cities to the ground!" He struck his brother, and Scorpan, wishing to stay peaceful ran off, right into Equestria. Tirek hurled insults at him and screamed words unfit for a princess to repeat. The dreamscape shook, and then again until I awoken to see the lion creature from my nightmares shaking me awake, Netty, looking nervous yet annoyed, by his side.

It took about ten minutes to convince me I was no longer asleep, and the lion man Scorpan began speaking . He retold the events of my nightmare, or vision I supose, and proceeded to warn us; his brother was coming. He had the power to drain magic and use it for himself, and he would stop at nothing to wield all the Equestrian magic. And was not afraid how many he killed to get it. A battle was coming.
