Time is relative to the person that wields it. It contorts and shapes itself to the manipulator. No matter how mad or how sane that being is. No matter how twisted or pure that being is.

This is the law of time. The one law that Concord has to keep him from going insane. Repeating those lines over and over again, trying with every fibre of his being to keep the dark whispers from consuming him. For so long he resisted their seductive whispers but they kept on growing in strength when he could do nothing to increase his power. No Warps. No enchantments. And no Starswirl. No, the mortality of death had taken that pony long ago. And it pained Concord, that his one and only friend died and he was not there to see him till the end. He felt his demise and he was thrilled that he merely died of old age. Though it did not quell the stinging pain in his eyes.

Concord sat proud and stern with his mismatched draconequus body in a meditative stance. The body, head and arms of a dragon serpent and the hooves and tail of a pony. He was not as mismatched as most draconequus, making him an outcast amongst his people. Concord opened his eyes and revealed bright emerald eyes that were set out far and pierced through the veil of sleep and his mind remained open. He was now in the Dreamscape. The dark whispers pierced through his defenses and he felt his mind shrink and grow dark. Filling with visions of power and darkness. A cruel smile spread across his lips as he said with a gruff and deep voice, "And all the world, shall fall beneath the iron claws of time itself."

Discord released a sigh of appreciation and hope for the future. Staring long at the beauty of Luna's night, the beauty of which no one could imitate. Not even himself. Stars and comets blasting across the endless void of space, the only thing that made him feel at home. The endless and chaotic void of the darkness that lied beyond the mortal barriers of Equestria. He was a firm believer that they could quite possibly be able to break that barrier soon. He had distant faith in the ponies of Equestria, they were smart when they needed to and were strong when asked of them. Like a large colony of ants, always ready to stand by each other no matter who they were. Which was why it was originally so difficult for him to plant his chaotic seeds and rule for nearly a thousand years. Discord shook his head gently and looked back up at the stars of the night sky.

He remained content with the warm feelings he had inside. He had won the friendship and favor of most of the Elements of Harmony and hoped to continue to gain their gratitude. He felt privileged to have such good friends. A prospect he can never get used to, but one that is welcome. That night was a night for everypony to celebrate. Tirek was banished once again and he had gained the friendship of Twilight and most of the others. He could still feel reluctance around Rainbow Dash and Applejack but he knew that with time they would come to accept him for who he was. Discord had to admit he was a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes, but that's all apart of his charm. Most of the time he was just trying to be helpful even though it appeared he was not. He offered his help to Twilight when she was finding answers at the castle. Discord shivered at the fact if she did not figure it out without his help. But he reassured himself, Twilight was the smartest pony he knew she likely would have figured it out but would have taken longer to figure it out. Time being the relative thing that it was.

Time. That was something that he had an infinite amount of, all thanks to his brother Concord. He was not always Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, he was once a noble draconequus royal with his brother. When the Changelings all but destroyed their empire and nearly destroyed them until they discovered the Elements of harmony and the Seeds of Chaos. Concord originally wanted to take the seeds but Discord refused to see his brother in such an evil state. So Concord and Discord changed the Changelings into insectial beings like they were and cast them far away.

Concord. His name literally meaning harmony, it was through him that harmony could be achieved, as well as chaos. Discord lowered his gaze as he rested his claw and paw against the railing on the balcony of one of Twilight's towers. The second largest tower to be exact. Concord was a pony that could not be compared to any other. Not only a brother but a friend. The kindest being in existence, except for Fluttershy. Everything to expect out of a brother.

"You can do yourself good if you join the rest of us in celebration. You could use more friends." Discord recognised that timeless and ageless voice. He turned and saw Princess Celestia leaning agains the threshold of the balcony. She wore a bright white and gold sundress that accented her curves very well. Her pink eyes filled with warm hearted happiness and joy, but well hidden behind a wall of nobility and stern standing hooves. Her ethereal mane and tail billowing even though the wind had died down. Her pristine alabaster white coat seemed to glow and glisten in the pale moonlight.

Discord managed a smile and added nonchalantly, "Good advice coming from one who teaches friendship."

Discord turned back to staring off into the distance, seeing the countryside of Equestria slowly begin to let themselves fall under a slumber until the lively rays of the sun would raise and awaken them once more. All it did was continue to remember his brother, which made it all the more painful to think about. He stared down low and he felt a hoof on his shoulder and Celestia asked in a sympathetic tone, "Discord. You're not yourself, are you okay?"

Discord kept his gaze away from hers and he said, "What would you do if time was actually relative to beings like us?"

"What?"

"Like," Discord flicked a pebble from his claw and it flew through the air and watched as it turned into a bird, "If our lifelines changed, how would you react?"

Discord moved his gaze to her and she thought for a few moments, the question catching her completely off guard. Celestia clenched her brow and responded, "Scared and confused at first, I guess but...where is this suddenly coming from?"

Discord answered, "I've just been thinking lately-"

"About your brother?" Celestia asked picking up on some of the context clues. A nod from Discord confirmed his feelings to her at that moment. And she asked, "Why?"

"I've hurt a lot of ponies Celestia. Too many and too numerous to count. Your parents for instance. And you. Everypony that seems to be around me just seems to get hurt. I just don't want to become the monster I used to be." Discord answered with a sullen look.

Celestia said sharply, "You can't blame yourself for what you did in the past. If you dwell then you'll only destroy yourself and some of the others around you. I do not hold my parent's death's in your hooves Discord, you are willing to feel guilt from your actions. This means that you are a good pony underneath."

She turned his head with her hoof and he stared directly into her starry eyes. Tapping her hoof on Discord's heart when she said 'good pony underneath.' Discord looked down at the hoof and felt the tender hoof press softly against his chest. Of all the ponies that forgave him for the countless things that he has done, it was the one that he hurt the most. He tore apart her world so many times. Kept her prisoner for so many years and still she is willing to move past all that. He pushed her away so many times, and for what? Joy? Broken confidence?

His soul and hearted felt one and melded together, warming his insides. He never felt like this around any other pony, never before had he felt something so strong. A feeling towards somepony else that was that strong. He rested a claw on her hoof and looked back at her. No pain or regret in her eyes. Only pure blissfulness, sending waves of electricity through him. Discord pulled both his hands behind her and pulled her in close and he promised staring down into her eyes, "I will never hurt you again."

She seemed blissful and she leaned up and she pressed her lips gently against his. Discord accepted the kiss and for a few seconds they stood there in the curtain of stars, sharing each other's mutual feeling of a strong friendship, becoming so much more than that. And for the first time in two thousand years he felt something he thought he could never feel again. Love.

Celestia pulled back and stared directly at him with the same eyes and whispered, "I know you will."

Discord smiled and pulled her in closer and felt the warmth increase. If he was going to get any warmer he was sure he would start sweating. Celestia wrapped her hooves over his neck and he rested his claw and paw on her lower back. Discord could feel Celestia's lips curl into a smile and she said, "That was beautiful Discord."

Discord chuckled and said, "Well don't get used to it."

She stifled a similar giggle as they stopped hugging. Concern and shock spread across her face and she moved a hoof to her mouth and said, "Oh my..."

Discord was confused he said, "What is there something on my face?"

Celestia managed to choke out, "Your eyes their...crying blood."

Discord moved his eagle claw to his eye and dabbed it on his cheek and looked and saw his claw had some blood on it and he did feel it running down his cheeks. Dabbing more on his other claw from his other cheek he said, "Well would you look at that..."

Celestia's jaw dropped open and she said, "How can you be so PC about this? This is not normal Discord."

Discord felt a sharp pain twist his stomach and he fell to the ground. It was similar to the feeling he felt when there was a magical disturbance. It was unlike anything he had felt before. The power that suddenly appeared it...it could change the fabric of the universe given the opportunity. Discord felt really cold and Celestia lifted him up and he said to himself, "What can carry so much power? Who can carry that much power?"

Celestia asked in a worried tone, "What? Is there a disturbance?"

Discord gripped his stomach that felt as though it was going to tear itself apart. He gritted, "It's not a disturbance...It's an upheaval. And it is getting closer."

Twilight had seen more than enough parties for anypony to be sickened, the constant patrons of the same ponies, most of the same decorations, the food was consistent, and the games were all in all the same aside from some minor rule changes and different names. The music was the same songs on repeat, making it easier to drown out through concentrated talking. This would make the third party in the past two weeks. Yet, Twilight could never shake the feeling of having an overall good time. Parties came and went and were held with guests of honor for more than a few times. But she always felt like priority in Pinkie's parties. As a matter of fact, everypony was priority in Pinkie's parties.

Pinkie held conviction that Twilight could not believe when it came to planning the perfect party, with little room for error. Her way of planning was chaotic and sometimes it was a little hard to follow but it made sense and it could get the job done with different results. Though she has never seen an unsatisfied patron at Pinkie's parties, so she received no complaints. However, two weekends in a row of parties and one could say that Twilight ran herself ragged, or perhaps that was the magical exhaustion talking to her. Her mind was somewhat hurting from the amount of magic she had harbored just hours ago.

It was an alien feeling, having that much power inside of her. Especially when she had to raise and lower the sun and moon, and interfere with the magical love waves that the citizens of Equestria gave off, making her pivotal in every single relationship on Equestria. Twilight did not know how they could do it. It was at that moment a thought struck Twilight. All three had pivotal jobs and sources of mana to control, the moon and sun and the love waves. Which begged the question, what source of mana would she control?

Was there a large source of all powerful mana that Twilight had to seize control of? Was it a magical object that allowed her to fluctuate the magic waves given off by ponies? Was it a collective of books that taught her how to manipulate the cosmos into order of the universe? Too many questions flooded the forefront of her mind, causing her headache to spike in pain. Twilight gasped at the sudden rise in pain and moved a hoof over the area. Twilight took one last pull from her cup of punch and set the cup back down with in audible clink.

She looked around the main hall of her new crystal castle. The walls, ceiling, and floors was all made of crystal. Bright blue, like an aquamarine color. The bright facets glowing and glistening in the dead light of night, moonlight almost causing her crystal castle to glow. Pale light illuminating the floors and rooms of the castle. Giving it natural lighting even in the dead of night, a magical property that she should look into. But there was something off about owning this castle. Yes it was her new home but it just felt rushed, like it shouldn't belong to her. The Castle of Shadows, felt more like home to her. It held that old feeling of wonder like Golden Oaks did, the smell of oak and paper. The cold drafts wafting from cracks in the side boards. It gave the place personality, her new home just felt too...perfect. Too much fit for a princess.

Twilight muttered to herself, "Here's to making the best of a bad situation."

She downed the other cup of punch in a manner of seconds, the citrus bubbly punch having a little kick to it burning as it went down her throat. Not an alcoholic kick, a spicy kick. She got different things from lands far and wide, how she had the bits to do so Twilight would not ask. She always thought of it as her being on a need to know basis, and at that moment she did not want to know. Taking another cup of punch she downed that one, throwing the cup aside on the table.

"Maybe you need something a bit stronger." Came the always happy and cheerful tone of her old foal sitter, Princess Cadence. A bright pink mare with a tall slender build, fitting for a petite princess such as herself. But she was not fooling anypony, Twilight knew well enough that all alicorns had a certain level of heightened strength, surpassing that of an earth pony's. The many contours of her body were long and well detailed, maintaining a good figure to keep up a public image. Her mane braided back quickly but well groomed, tri-colored and accenting well with the rest of her body, yellow purple and a light pink. Her wings slowly fading from pink to lilac as it reached the tip. and her pink eyes filled with jubilation and happiness.

Twilight smiled as a familiar warm and friendly feeling rose within her as she was around Cadence. She did not know what it was but she just had this aura about her that always told her that she was a friendly and kind pony. Twilight exchanged waving a cup and moving the punch ladel to fill it once more, "I have too much of a headache to have anything containing alcohol."

There was no alcohol in the punch because there was fillies around, as a matter of fact everypony was around. Filling the main hall nearly to the brim with ponies almost unable to make out the various decorations set up for the party. Confetti, streamers, banners, and balloons clinging tightly to the ceiling.

Twilight glanced back over at Cadence and asked taking a light sip of her punch before asking her, "Cadence, I have a question."

"Shoot."

"Do all alicorns go through physical changes?" Twilight asked keeping each other's attention the music all but completely disappearing, "Like getting taller and thinner?"

Cadence thought for a second briefly looking away to think until finally she returned her gaze to Twilight with a slight twitch of her tail, "Not all. Arcanus alicorns like Celestia, as you can notice, grow very tall and very quickly. Arcanus Alicorns being tall and strong for purposes of protecting and giving off powerful spells but at greater exhaustion to the user. While Magnus Alicorns are slightly taller than normal ponies, preferring speed over endurance with quick casting spells."

"So which one do you think I would be?" Twilight asked. She briefly read up on the certain subject, 'Alicorns: An Informative Study' by Princess Cadence, only taking a few notes. It was a large book and begged Twilight to wonder how Cadence knew so much about alicorns. She knew that it was not through genetics or overall power level. Like most things in the life of a pony, it was solely determined by their cutie mark. If a pony had a flower cutie mark it would likely transform into a Magnus Alicorn. If a pony had apples for a cutie mark, that pony would most likely turn into an Arcanus Alicorn. Therefore it was not random but not particularly specific either.

returning from her contemplative and studious stare Cadence answered before guzzling down a cup of punch, "Neither. You would likely be a Maximus Alicorn."

"Maximus?"

"Yes," Cadence coughed at the amount of hot sauce that was put into the punch calming her senses quickly, "A Maximus is a combination of the two. The strength and magical power of an Arcanus, with the height slightly mixed in. Along with the Magnus speed and agility. think about it Twilight, you are the first pony Celestia takes in as a personal student after a thousands years, and when you take the entrance exam at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns you nearly tore that place apart. Both magically and physically. Although, I find it a little strange. You should have begun growing and changing by now."

Twilight raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Really?"

"More than half way down with the transformation I would expect." Cadence downed another cup and cringed at the spiciness of the punch. Twilight slightly giggled at this prospect. Cadence has never been one to handle anything above mild tasting, yet she could hold more alcohol than Twilight. She did not know whether or not that was because she was around it more or if she just had a natural resistance to drunkenness.

Twilight stopped suddenly and listened carefully, the music abruptly stopped and the lights seemed to increase. Twilight looked around to find the reason for the intrusion on their fun. Twilight turned and saw Celestia, holding a limping Discord in one hoof and a limping Luna in the other though Luna looked to be in better shape than Discord. He looked pale and blood stained his mouth as it dripped from his nose. He clenched his stomach hard and appeared beyond any medical healing. Twilight looked to her friends and they rushed to Discord and Luna's side. The only rushing to Discord's was Pinkie and Fluttershy.

Luna looked a paler shade of midnight and her eyes glowed dark green. Twilight would have suspected Changeling magic but they were gone and no changelings were in sight. She did however feel a deep and reverberating rumble in the form of magic. It shook Twilight's senses and she fell to her hooves as she got up to assist with her friends. She looked up and saw Celestia as she said, "Everypony! Get to safety now, there is danger coming! Go!"

There was a mix of worry and fear in her stoic and commanding voice, something only Twilight could pick up. Celestia gave Luna over to her three friends and started to tend to Discord. Twilight took the time to cast a spell to dispel the magic being worked on her senses. The disorienting spell making it hard to cast. Her horn erupted in an aura of magic and the audible sound rising high in her ringing ears. She cast hard and concentrated at the spell and tried to pry the spell away a the roots. She clenched every muscle in her face to uproot the spell but she could not. She put more kick into her dispel and finally dispelled, her body covered in sweat and her headache increasing.

Twilight went and stepped towards her mentor but stopped dead in her tracks as she heard a deep and booming voice command, "There is no safety from the jaws of time!"

Twilight looked to Discord as he said, "That voice...I know that voice."

Discord trailed off seemingly lost in his words and unable to speak.The voice was so gruff and so powerful, that she felt as if the voice could crush her by the weight of his words. The dark cursed words sending shivers up her spine, she was very close to Discord and she stepped forward to inquire about the voice above but she was cut short as the earth shook itself. The ground erupting and the castle exploding up.
BOOM!

Twilight was blasted back a few feet and slammed into a large chunk of the ceiling, her back wrenching in pain and almost refusing her to move, she fell limp to the floor some debris landing on her half conscious form. Twilight struggled as she turned her head to see the destruction of her new home. Perfect or not this was her home and a large portion of it was missing. A large hole erupted in the side of the castle. Dust and debris rained down initially upon them. Twilight struggled as she tried to stand on her hooves, her back tightening up and seizing as she leaned on her forehooves. A large cloud of dust concealed the hole briefly after the explosion and Twilight looked over just in time to see the owner of the voice.

Who stepped in was another draconequus but less mismatched than Discord. His long slim body was covered in a thin layer of pure bronze scales, with arms of dragons with sharp claws. he had legs of ponies attached to his long serpent body, the color matching bronze. At the end of his tail the tip of a pony's tail was there with the color of jet black. His eyes were a dark shade of emerald, coming out of the corners was black smoke. He held his claws open as he stepped through the curtain of smoke that now slowly began to dissipate.

Twilight looked to Discord as she grumbled the word, "Concord."

The powers that came off of him were too many to count. Shadow. Time. Energy. Space. To name only a few she could feel, the whole plethora of magic capabilities he could manipulate and master every single one. But the one that stood out the most was time. Twilight tried to keep her eyes open and not fall unconscious and she succeeded but her headache only seemed to increase. Standing before her now, she could sense it, was a villain. The dark cold blood she could sense underneath him. The cold dark soul that lied beneath. The shadows however seemed to evade and shrink with his every movement.

Twilight looked around and saw her friends all lying on the ground unconscious, Twilight breathing a breath of relief. They only suffered minimal amount of damage. Lying sprawled across the debris covered floor. Cadence lying a short distance away from Twilight, as she was lying in front of a large chunk of the ceiling that now lied behind her in the back of the room. Almost next to the far wall. The ground beneath her hooves were rigged and cracked. At the center of the room was Discord and the other princesses, to face this new threat head on.

Concord hovered to the ground gently clapping his claws together, a cruel smile was on his face throughout. The princesses and Discord did not share the same dark humor as him, staring at him with cold eyes. Concord opened his claws as the curtain of dust dissipated, his voice deep and almost shaking the room itself, "I expected more from the welcoming party. Three thousand years and not a single one of you is brave enough to raise a hoof to stop me? I thought you ponies were about harmony and balance?"

His words alone rose a fire beneath Twilight, she wanted so bad to stand and charge the pony but she did not have the strength to at the moment. Her movements were sluggish as she braced herself against the stone slab, with a grunt and a gasping breath. She slowly worked on a healing spell. The only one capable of standing in defiance against Concord was Discord. Discord clenched his fists and he stood tall and puffed his chest out. He stared down Concord with eyes like daggers and he said, "Concord. What is this...what have you done?"

Concord huffed, "What have I done? It seems that you are not as smart as I remembered."

Discord growled at that comment as Concord stepped closer to Discord.

"I have slept for three thousand years. All throughout maintaining what I desperately thought was how time needed to be. When only I was slowly turning myself into a monster. And the worst part is that I saw this coming. I knew this would happen ages ago, and I did nothing to stop it. Because I knew I could not stop it. So I embraced the shadows that tried to cling to me so long ago. I stared into the void only to find a pair of eyes staring back at me. And it was through this that I have come to a conclusion:

"Time is a relative thing, and is relative to the one who wields it. Take it from me dear brother, the cold void has a special place waiting for somepony as cold as you."

Discord clenched his eyes closed and he opened them back up revealing white hot orbs as he shouted, "Enough! Stop this madness Concord! You were the Grey Guardian, the Sentinel of Time and now look at you! You claim yourself reborn? All that you have done is let the shadows take hold of your mind. For far too long I had let the shadows take hold of my mind, but I was able to heal myself. Now I will do the same for you."

Fury overtook Discord as he opened his claw and paw and they erupted in bright red flames and he shot himself forward, blasting through the air. Heading straight towards Concord. Concord moved his footing and flicked his wrist, a large telekinetic pillar crashed into Discord and sent him flying towards the wall. As he flung towards the wall, Discord finished his spell and a ball of red hot flames spouted towards Concord. Crackling as it was sent through the air.

Concord opened his claw towards the ball of flames, the ball of flames dissipated and shrunk inside of Concord's claw, glowing green and then slowly dying. As the ball of flame dissipated Concord grumbled loudly, "Still naive little Discord. Always trying to find what was best, but only if you got something in return...no but as of lately you have been feeling something quite different haven't you? Love."

Twilight appeared confused, love? Discord? But who? Twilight looked and affirmed her question, it was Princess Celestia as she exchanged thin and fearful looks with one another. Luna seemed unwilling to accept defeat, rebellion and defiance filling her. Luna struggled as she stood up and growled, "I have heard enough of your heresy Concord."

The midnight princess stood up and flicked her head as she summoned forth a great amount of magical energy. Luna's horn glowed in a large torrent of energy and she willed the energy out releasing a blast of pure dark midnight magical energy wave. Shooting forth and threatening to tear Concord apart. Concord threw up his claws and absorbed the large arcanic blast. Concord dusted himself off and said, "I control the time waves? Do you honestly expect me not to have seen that?"

Concord opened his claws and clenched his knuckles close as if he was gripping a hand held ball. It glowed an emerald green and Luna had a similar mantra around her. Concord moved his arm in a wide half circle arc and Luna flung towards the wall. Twilight sensed Luna try to throw up a shield but she was not strong enough to keep back his magic. Twilight stopped casting her healing spell and before Luna would smash through the wall Twilight clenched her teeth together and casted a teleport spell. Intentionally grabbing Luna, unintentionally grabbing Celestia. Two flashes of violet magic erupted on both sides of Twilight. Concord looked and stared directly at her. Sharing cold stares with one another, trying to sense the other's move. Concord grumbled, "Enough of these games."

Concord seemed deep and contemplative a that moment, moving a studious gaze over everypony. He tapped his chin, a dark silence filling everything. Seemingly able to kill them all if not careful, the silence alone making Twilight wanting to succumb and go unconscious. Concord muttered something to himself and finally his gaze fell upon Cadence. He opened his claw that glowed green magical energy, Cadence slowly being pulled towards him. Twilight was gripped by fear and tried to grab Cadence's outstretched hooves but she missed. Tears stung as they threatened to come out of Twilight. As well as the princesses, but with his other hoof he slammed them all and held them against he slab of crystal behind them.

He levitated Cadence into his hand, gripping his claw to her mane. Grabbing a fistful of her mane. Tears ran down Cadence's cheeks and Concord bellowed, "The Princess of Love herself. How ironic."

Concord lifted her up to present her to others and proclaimed, "Watch as I take the one that is loved the most."

While keeping Twilight and the other two princesses braced against the wall, he summoned in his open claw a dagger. He lowered Cadence and she stared right at Twilight. Tears stinging in Twilight's eyes as she stared at Cadence, slowly they came out. Cadence mouthed the words, 'I love you all.' With those final words Cadence closed her eyes and Twilight screamed as Concord slit her throat, drawing it over the flesh beneath the chin and the top of the neck. Blood spilling out like a stream.

"NOOO!!!"

Everypony seemed distraught and somehow effected by Cadence dying before their eyes. Only proving Concord correct in her being the one that was loved the most. Discord slammed his claw on the ground and shouted, "Damn it Concord! This fight is between me and you, leave them out of this!"

Concord looked over his shoulder to his brother and said, "What fight? This is no fight Discord, a fight implies that there is some sort of resistance coming from you."

He moved his gaze over to Twilight and the remaining princesses. A cruel smile coming across his lips, Twilight could see that he was formulating something devious and sinister. Twilight wanted with all of her being to break the magic and charge towards the maniac who took away her sister. Fury like she could not believe overcame her, she could not accept Cadence's passing. He did not even gain anything from killing her. All it did was cause the other ponies in the room pain.

Concord finally said, "I know what I am going to do with you three. Consider yourselves, citizens of this time stream no longer."

Concord willed both of his hands and they glowed dark green, clapping them together causing magical sparks to spew out and cling to the floor then finally die down. Pulling them apart, they began to glow a dark bronze. The air around Twilight crackled with powerful magic and she felt herself being ripped away. Like her consciousness itself was being tore away and being placed somewhere else. Twilight's anger swelled and she tried to escape her magical bonds. She saw Despair set into Celestia and cold hearted fear grip Luna. Twilight's heart pained inside her chest. Twilight's vision slowly began to shift. Slowly but surely, all she could see was black as exhaustion overtook her. Cold darkness was all that awaited her as she succumbed to the sweet feeling of sleep. Her will to fight left her.

Time and space all but meaningless as blackness filled around Twilight. The ancient workings of a time travel spell, but it was much stronger and much more potent than a normal time travel spell. She read somewhere about time and how it affected ponies as well as hearing Concord mention something about time streams. Twilight then knew what was going to become of her and the princesses. Then the blackness swallowed her and she could hear nothing. Not the sound of the spell. Not the beat of her own heart. Not the feeling of Luna and Celestia near her. Just utter cold and bitter blackness. Seeing nothing but dark ebony shadows.
