(Around Midnight…)

(I woke up from my nap and yawned. I looked outside and see it night. I smiled and went to my mother’s chamber. Luna was there on the balcony with 2 others. I recognized Vinyl Scratch and the other was none other than Rarity. The 3 turned and greeted me.)

Rarity: “Hello darling, glad you could join us at this lovely night.”

“With pleasure Rarity. But why are we here at this time of hour?”

Luna: “You are my son and the ritual has to be performed.”

“Ritual?”

Vinyl: “Indeed. The Blood Ritual of the Vampony.”

Luna: “This is known as ‘The blessing of the moon’.”

“I’ve heard about it in the past. The ritual was performed on the most loyal of servants to serve their princess without question. The old night guard had this blessing and Celestia hated it. She started her own cult to stop the old guard but in the end, both sides were eradicated. Many others followed the ways of the Dark Arts but no pony could achieve such a level. They believed the age of Vamponies ended thousands of years ago until…”

Rarity: “Yes, until you found out I was a Vampony.”

(Vinyl and Luna looked at her and Rarity looked embarrassed.)

Luna: “How could you have been so easily exposed?”

“Uh, I accidently cut myself and she could smell the blood of the wound. She couldn’t help herself but luckily, Sweetie Bot stopped her. By the way, ectoplasm is dangerous to ponies. However, I managed to get rid 90% of the ghostly blood long ago, so possible chance of poisoning was 10%.”

Rarity: “Oh… I guess Sweetie was overprotective.”

“Yeah… She didn’t know that the blood wasn’t full of ectoplasm.”

Luna: “Anyway… We wish for you to join our cult.”

“I would be honored to join. But I must know, is it dangerous?”

Vinyl: “No, not really.”

Luna: “Being a pure blooded Vampony, you gain powers that half-vamponies and only imagine. You can perform dark magic without the means of a horn. You can create weapons, armor, spells, etc. as a Vampony Lord. I design the Vampony Lords to be impossible to be traced out. They would have their normal eye color during the day but at night, they can either change to Blood Red or remain normal on the user’s wish. They can perform dark magic attacks without the horn like I mention earlier and can do many other things. However, while many myths are false, Vamponies still require blood to survive. However, I helped there. If the victim is a friend to the Vampony, both sides can feel the pleasure of the process.”

Vinyl: “It will be like sex, but not exactly.”

“I….see….”

Luna: “However, enemy to the Vampony, like criminals or such, they feel exhausted and lose a lot of their status after the bite. So, you can understand that. That’s not all though… While Pure Vamponies can walk around in the sun, they are also brighter a bit, like glowing in the sun like a thousand sapphires. They are also able to walk on walls and stuff. They can also see their reflections, so no worries about being exposed there. Their fangs, however, are somewhat exposing…”

“A simple illusion spell can hide them.”

Vinyl: “Indeed. Me and Rarity can perform the illusion spell… but you…”

“I have the level to transform into my alicorn form so I can briefly perform the spell as well.”

Luna: “Good. You can also walk on water, you’re a more of an athlete so you have superpony status. But, you being a halfa…”

“Yeah, I’m already supernatural.”

Luna: “Yeah…”

“Alright...”

Rarity: “Alright, we describe the results of it. Will you join?”

“Of course. It’s time I take my place as Heir of the Vampony Cult.”

Luna: “And Heir to the Night Throne.”

(I nodded and we took teleported to somewhere else.)

(We appeared in the throne room of the ruin castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. We started walking to an intact tower, Luna leading.)

“Say, I do have a question. Are there still Vampony Hunters?”

Luna: “Oh yes, The Dawnguard.”

Rarity: “It’s a group of ancient families who pledge to hunt down us Vamponies.”

Luna: “However, under some good research, I have confirmed that The Apple Family are connected to the Dawnguard. Granny Smith is a member of the Dawnguard and we figured out that she trained Big McIntosh and Applejack to hunt down Vamponies. Applebloom is suppose to be the next ones being trained.”

“And another secret I’ve learned from my friends…”

Luna: “What do you mean?”

“First Rarity, then Sweetie Bell, next is Twilight-“

Rarity: “What secret is Twilight hiding?”

“Promise not to tell?”

Luna: “You have our word.”

“She’s…. a Changeling Queen.”

Luna, Rarity, & Vinyl: “WHAT!?!”

“She’s the last of her kind too… She told me and my sister that after the Changeling War, her hive was killed, her the last survivor. Her queen made her the new queen to pass the legacy and she didn’t pass the legacy. She lives under cover and doesn’t want to be a changeling.”

Luna: “I…see…”

“Well, is there anything we can do?”

Luna: “Well, yes… We can fuse Midnight and Twilight.”

“Why?”

Luna: “Technically, Twilight is half of Midnight. Fuse the original Twilight, Midnight, and the Changeling Twilight together, they will become a Pure Vampony.”

“Midnight was a pure vampony?”

Luna: “Formally. When she was split in half, she lost the blessing.”

“I see. Well, combine 2 and 2 together and what do you get?”

Luna: “A new family member.”

“Yup.”

(We arrived to the top of the tower and we see a circle of power magical runes there.)

Luna: “Awaken , Guardian a turnului.”

(The Runes began to glow brightly and a spirit began to take form in the middle of the room. The pony was a Earth Pony. Dark Grey coat and Black mane and Tail. Even the whiteness of her eyes were black and her eyes were Blood Red, but they look like a ring in her eyes where her normal eyes are supposed to be at.)

???: “Lulu!”

(The Spirit took a physical appearance and hugged Luna.)

Luna: “It’s good to see your face again Ceres.”

(Ceres lets go and looks at me. She drew a curious look.)

Ceres: “Who are you?”

Luna: “He’s my son and heir to the throne of Vamponies and night.”

Ceres: “Oh yes, you mentioned him a few times, but he looks different than you described.”

“Well, I am a Halfa and only one of my kind.”

Luna: “It’s Clockwork’s idea.”

Ceres: “Clockwork? The Master of Time?”

“That’s the one.”

Ceres: “I see…. Meddling into affairs again, I see…”

“Can we continue, please?”

Luna: “Sure. All you need to do is step into the center of the magical rune circle and Ceres does the rest.”

(I stepped into the circle and went into the middle of it. Ceres began to chant something in Romanian.)

Ceres: “Oh luna mare și puternic , vă rugăm să binecuvânteze măreția în tânărul suflet și îi puterea ta și stat puternic . Rândul său, acest tânăr într-un Lord Vampire!"

(I looked up and see the moon glowing brighter than normal as it moonlight hit me. I felt like being lifted up and I began to feel something new. Pleasure… A lot of it everywhere in my body. After a few more minutes, the process ended and I landed on the ground, still awake and powerful.)

Luna: “Cum te simți, fiule? [How are you, son?]”

“Sunt bine, mamă. [I’m fine, mom.]”

(Luna nods. I now knew how to speak Romanian and understand my fellow Vamponies now.)

Luna: “Alright. Now that you can speak like us, you can understand us now.”

“So, what now?”

Vinyl: “We continue our daily stuff. But remember, you need a least a wine glass of blood per 2 weeks.”

“Alright.”

(Me and Luna teleported back to Canterlot while Rarity and Vinyl returned to Ponyville. Ceres went back to her ghostly appearance.)

(Meanwhile at a canyon in the cold lands of the once former land of the Crystal Empire…)

(A dark shadow slowly began to wake up.)

???: “I can sense him… I can sense my son… He’s grown very powerful. But the time is not yet. I must remain asleep until the time is right and the Crystal Empire returns for my conquest…”

(The shadow falls asleep once again…)

(Meanwhile in the outlands…)

(Queen Chrysalis wasn’t happy to know that her squad to capture Danny failed.)

Chrysalis: “You are pathetic excuses of Changelings! How could you lose to 1 lonely Pegasus!?”

Commander: “My Queen, have you forgotten about the prophecy? The Son of Darkness? He had his father’s dark magic. It’s only a matter of time before Equestria enters a Civil War.”

Chrysalis: “True…. Fine, you have been forgiven for now. But this delay my plans…”

Commander: “However, we have learned of a Canterlot Wedding approaching. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor are getting married.”

Chrysalis: “Really? Tell me everything you have learned.” Next Chapter: Meeting the Fazpony Crew Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 34 Minutes
