I remember the first time I saw her. Pinkie´s welcoming party had just ended but she still had plenty of energy. I remember the beautiful music Fluttershy´s choir made and how gorgeous Rarity looked back then. I remember the fear when she appeared and how I want kick myself for not believing Twilight.

But mostly I remember those eyes, those cold unforgiving eyes, filled with grudge and thirst for revenge.

They stopped her back then and Princess Luna returned to her mellow and graceful self. She came back to town and despite her loud manners she made new friends and repaired old wounds. As years went by and Twilight began to get old and fragile, I began to spent more time with the Princess. We used to talk for hours and since I was older I was able to enjoy her beautiful night. I remember her blushing when I told her how beautiful the night sky was.

Princess Luna became my friend, and more.

When the time finally came for me to sleep, she promised that she would wait for me. That she will throw the greatest feast.. I laughed and went to sleep, the last image being those dreadful eyes flashing for a second before darkness engulfed me.

We never talked about Nightmare Moon possible return, we always kept quiet about the subject. Still, Twilight made contingency plans just in case; always resourceful. But this new Elements can´t expect to defeat her. They´re barely out of foalhood. The element of Loyalty is a small earth pony colt, almost Pipsqueak height, brave and loyal for sure but he will be defeated with one swoop.

I look at their faces as I crash through the ceiling of the town hall, tearing down the flags for the Summer Sun Celebration.  I´m not sure what terrifies them more, if the return of the Mare on the Moon or the giant dragon breathing fire over their heads; but I don´t care. Nightmare Moon yells and attacks me with all her magic but I don´t care and keep going. I don´t know what happened, I don´t know how the darkness get a hold of her again but I will not let it win.

I will rescue Luna, no matter what.
