Some things are impossible for a Maia to do because of his nature, however they can do much. Even a Vala has his limits, and there is no doubt that only Eru has the power to do anything and what he likes to when he has to. However Sauron never expected that he with just plain words, with no magic in them or any actual tries. Managed to make the cold shade of blue of night sky an almost perfect, strawberry red color that mixes with the blue and creates plum purple.

Sauron knew he had gone too far and this Mare can get attached to him, and he didn’t want to get attached also too much. Besides where is the fun when you only focus on one thing? And he can’t let only depend on Princess Luna, he has to also to deceive and corrupt others to his will and be “friends” with them and maybe help them from time to time.

Luna was blushing really hard and she didn’t know what to say, or how to react to such a statement. Should she let this be a compliment or very weird information about Sauron. Why does she always when her duty calls have to accouter such things like this?! It’s not like she didn’t like that she really was indeed charmed by his words and really her greedy side wanted more of it.

“Well Princess Luna, I think we should get going.” Sauron stated and now was looking at her while standing in his shrunken form.

Luna still blushing with her heart racing as if she was again turning into nightmare moon, nodded in approval and she looked at him, and gestured to the Palace first to see if anyone has any nightmares. Of course she still didn’t knew how would he even fly up there with no wings but, she just looked as a thin layer of smoke and sparks formed under his feet and he begin to levitate. With that Sauron smirked friendly and begin to slowly fly towards the palace, and with him Princess Luna followed.

Sauron and Luna met in front of the palace so flying and looking inside of it won’t be a difficult task, of course Luna had to find some pony with nightmares and she didn’t sense any yet. She thought that maybe because of Sauron’s and Discords fight, there will be at least a dozen ponies with nightmares about these two doing something horrible.

However she had to go into the palace and she had to find an balcony or an hole in the wall that Discord did in fact make to enter the Building. She looked at Sauron that was flying just alongside her with crossed arms and neutral expression, looking mostly at the city and not the palace. She decided to ask him if he likes the city, and are there any things he dislikes about it.

“Lord Sauron…” She started and got his attention and she continued “…You like the city don’t you?”

He just nodded and pointed at the Houses and said. “This reminds me how beautiful gems and diamonds are, it also is a city every noble and dragon would fight for no matter the cost.” He said and she nodded in approval.

“So dragons in your world are greedy?” She said with a flap of the wings adding a little more speed to her flight.

“Yes, however in the first age they were not like this, but through the second and third age they lost to greed and wondered on their own.” He said as if a little disappointed.

“Interesting indeed.” She whispered to herself.

While flying with Luna, she finally located a balcony and it was rather a small balcony led to the room of Princess Flurry Heart. Luna sensed that Flurry has a nightmare and immediately used her magic to the open the doors of her room and entered it. Of course Sauron followed Princess of the night and unsummoned his flying cloud. He then stepped after her into the room where Flurry Heart was sleeping, he didn’t know it was her room and he didn’t know she had a nightmare. He can only walk inside someone’s dream, but he doesn’t know whether someone has a nightmare or not.

However, because Princess Luna stopped in this room, he assumed that indeed the pony inside here had a nightmare and she had to stop it. Of course he will ask her some questions about the Crystal Empire and Equestria a little bit later not to rush all this. He noticed the pink and flowers on the glass and windows thanks to the moonlight and also thanks to his own vision skill he just activated, many could say he had eyes of an lion or a cat.

‘Girls room, child, thirteen or fourteen years old from the looks of it. To many stuffed animals’ he thought, as he quickly scanned his surroundings.

“It seems Flurry has a nightmare, are you ready Lord Sauron?” Luna asked him with a quiet voice.

“Of course.” it did make Luna shiver a bit but she didn’t mind that.

And with That Sauron watched as Princess Luna touched Flurry Heart’s forehead, and her horn started to glow and her eyes closed. He knew already she entered her mind and is in her dream, now it was his turn to do it. He took two steps forward and looked at Flurry Heart that did in fact have a rather scared expression as if she really did have a nightmare, not only this but she also started to moan a little or try to call help.

That’s when Sauron decided to enter her dreams, his form slowly started to become smoky and fire like. Then shadows and darkness from the night surrounded him and he placed his hand on her head. Then the smoke covered her a little and with that Sauron entered her dreams, of course he could enter her dreams by plain words and concentration. But he felted that he would need his memories and maybe some magic to help her with her nightmare.

------Flurry Heart----

Every nightmare starts with something silent, or at least did from the start. First you wake or find yourself in a beautiful place that then becomes the most hated, unwanted location you wished to ever find yourself in.Well Flurry Heart’s dream started with her going to meet her friends, nothing bad was happening she was enjoying the look of every ponies smiley faces.

She was about to meet her friends but then the clouds darkened and she could feel and hear how the thunder tore apart the clouds, just like when Sauron first spoke to the dragon and managed to scare him away. It was a experience she didn’t want to remind herself of, she wanted this memory to just vanish out of her head and never return.

But then the ground started to shake and she could hear slowly how ponies were screaming and that behind her everyone was running and escaping the city, she wanted to see what was happening but then she saw a dark cloud. A dark like shadow or pure darkness energy or anomaly was destroying the city with bursts of dark magic, or by just swallowing it and throwing away half damaged and “eaten”.

She never saw something like this, and she never expected to see something like this. It remind her again of that day with the dragon and when Sauron appeared as a dark shadow like cloud, actually the cloud was really like he that time. She feared even more, was it a mistake to bring him to Crystal Empire?No it can’t be, something was off and she knew it, her guest that just saved her could not just rampage through the city to bring death and carnage for nothing.

She galloped to him and she wanted to encounter him, to talk with him to maybe start a conversation. Of course she after a while galloping jumped and flapped her wings to then fly towards Sauron to be in air. From what she remembered he was about thirty fivefeet tall so she was above the ground so high as his size is. And she wanted to face him, literally, face him and maybe to do some diplomacy as Celestia had taught her during her small lessons in Canterlot.

Sauron in his shadow form was killing and destroying everything what he met in front of him, leaving nothing more than dust behind him with maybe some bones. There was no blood or anything like that, only dust and grey color left by his magic. She could not find a logical answer to why he actually was doing what he was doing, and why didn’t her parent’s or dad stop him.

With that thought and already half way so meet Sauron she had stupid ideas coming to her head, she thought that he murdered her family and friends already.But it couldn’t be true, why would he do something like that? She feared it might have happened looking by the guards, also running away and not charging and some even charging with blind rage.

She was almost there to yell and maybe even fight her savior and hero of the Crystal Empire or even Equestria.Who knew bringing someone so powerful like him would benefit so harshly. Not only she saw that he looked scary but also that his ring was emitting dark magic, but she thought it wasn’t dark magic. She was foolish to not to believe her lessons and aunt Twilights teachings, but to rather hear the voice of her Heart… she was there.

She was now flying in front of him and he stopped to look at her, or rather ‘it’ looked at her with no eyes. She didn’t even know if he was inside the cloud or if he was the cloud, so many answers to be brought to her. She could hear the cracking and fire like sounds but as if they were coming out of void, not only that but looking at the darkness did make her shiver from fear.

She also noticed there is in fact a light coming from the center of the cloud, it was probably the one ring he had on. It was so corrupt and evil looking from the beginning, not only that but also it was really sinister in design. So blank with no gems as if such an lord could not find himself something more fancy, she wished she could maybe destroy that thing and make her black knight good again.

‘Don’t worry Lord Sauron… I’m going to make you good again’ She said in her head and she started to speak to Sauron.

“Lord Sauron! Please stop this Madness! What is it worth!” she yelled and hoping he would respond.

However he didn’t and ponies were still running, she saw how the Crystal Ponies were throwing objects at him that were swallowed by the darkness and didn’t return. Some were even telling her to go away and not risk their lives for their Couse, of course Flurry was really honored that they thought so but she will risk her life. Just like the elements of Harmony are risking their life, she is going to risk her life and she is going to do it here and now.

“Flurry!” She heard and saw how her mom was flying towards her with her horn glowing bright as day.

“Mom!” she flew toward her with a tear in her eye.

The both Alicorn meet and greeted themselves with a tight hug, not only a little muzzling each other but also Cadence kissed her daughter on the forehead. But Cendence broke the hug and looked at the dark cloud of darkness and shadow that was Sauron and with a frown she casted a powerful spell that shoot a big fireball at it and it exploded by shattering the darkness all across the city. Not only the cloud was quickly healed by sparks and little orange lighting mixed with fire, but also the shattered pieces melted the houses and ponies they landed on.

“Sweetie” Cendence started “Run, run as fast as you can to Canterlot, Inform Luna that WE. ARE. AT. WAR” She said with a very serious tone and gulped after it heavily.

“I can’t leave you here… with him.” Flurry answered almost crying.

“Sweetie,” Cadence said and sniffed, “remember Mommy always loved you and always will…” she said now crying and again sniffed, “…Run.”

She kissed her again and her horn started glowing, she then casted a teleportation spell on her daughter to teleport her away beyond the cities borders. She of course didn’t know what was happening or why, she wanted to see her pap’s again and she wanted to fight. She noticed greenery and field in front of her, she turned to go back but she was greeted by something so horrible, that it will leave a trauma for the rest of her life.

“MOM!!!!!” with tears she saw how a crown feel and a most loved person,literally, vanished in pain and scream by a wave of darkness.

---Luna and Sauron---

Sauron watched together with Luna what was happening through the “window” and he wasn’t happy that this child thought that he is someone dangerous. Maybe it’s not real but mentally it can make someone dislike someone, and he needed this child for his future plans to do something with this land. And it didn’t help when she dreamed about his shadow from, he used against the dragon. Now he has to explain everything to Luna or lie about this as an illusion.

This was really bad and he needed to do something, but he really wanted to watch what will happen and what can her mind throw at her about him. Not only that but he has to hold Luna here and block her from entering her dream to end it.However he could be even insulted for something like this, he would never do something like this.

First he would torture the pink Alicorn and make her a horse rider for the steeds his cavalry has, maybe even the wargs will be pleased with her. Then he would slowly cut her wings or burn them to take every scream and moan of pain out of her. He would even consider slowly killing her ,by entering her mind and maybe who knows let her have a knife in the room for suicide.

But rather then these things,he can approve what was happening before he would personally end this dream and he will use some Balrogs.Of course normally he can’t use them as soldiers because they are Maiar like him, and they only listen to the Valar or in his case Vala Melkor the first Dark Lord. Named by the men and others Morgoth,to show how much they hate him and dislike him.

For Luna it was horrible thing to watch, she really wanted to stop this but at the same time she wanted to see why is this happening and why she thinks of Sauron that way. He did nothing wrong and he even saved his life, from what she knows Cadence with Shining want to celebrate this and on the Galloping gala in two months thank him and call him “Sauron the Savior.”

He of course fought with Discord but he wasn’t guilty for it, it was Discord that actually started this mess but Celestia insisted to say that Sauron did. Of course Tia has to always have something opposite to say when it comes to matters like this one, at least that talk with when she said so wasn’t heard by Sauron or Discord.

But still there was a question why is she dreaming like this? And why she has a nightmare in which Sauron is the evil one. Of course Sauron maybe was a little dark and very powerful indeed from what Discord said, but still he deserves some respect and he is also a ruler and royalty so he can receive some trust.

“I think we should end this now.” Luna started but Sauron didn’t respond just looked, she continued nevertheless “It would be wise and the night is young, we need to end other nightmares.” She exclaimed and tried to open the window to stop this nightmare.

“No.”

Luna heard what he just said and she couldn’t believe what she heard, Sauron said no and wanted to see how Flurry Heart is in pain of her nightmare? Why? This doesn’t make any sense and she has to know why he thinks they shouldn’t end this now, of course there can be a reason for Sauron, like his curiosity why she has nightmares about him.

She understands that, but she can’t let her good little friend Flurry be in pain and mental breakdown. She has to act now even if her companion will be angry. So her horn started to glow and she was ready to enter this nightmare and end it, of course Sauron couldn’t let this happenso he also had to act.

He released a layer of smoke to cover the entrance to her dream, now Luna had to dispel his “protection” spell and enter her nightmare. Of course Sauron could see what was happening there as if the smoke wasn’t there. Luna of course didn’t notice the smoke because her closed eyes and she in contact with it was stung in the horn.

“Auuuch!” she yelled and looked sad and angry,then sherealized what happened and why.

“Not now.” Sauron said and still was looking at what was happening there.

But then his interest got her horn and how it started to glow with deep blue light that blinded him. He could feel how her magic was getting stronger and harder but still soft compared to his mana and magic, maybe if he got a spoon he could eat it like a pudding the Humans used to do. Useful invention and a good desert, he admitted, but still it had to get a few upgrades before it can become a good meal after dinner.

Back to the topic…

She had charged her spell enough to break his little illusion and go help young Princess in her struggle. She shoot a blue beam at his illusion and it exploded into small shards similar to snow or the crystal on the moon in Arda. He never saw ones but he heard about the moon and how on its surface there is everything made out of crystal and diamonds. However the ones here were very small as if little sparks glowing in arrange just like his eyes.

*Wind sound?*Fahoosh!

Luna was already entering her dream, he could but he didn’t stop her. Of course he is going to follow and mess around a little, for example he will make the task to destroy this nightmare harder a little bit. Who knows maybe she will call for help and he will be merciful and help her fight the monster that he is in this dream?

‘Unlikely…’ he thought and also entered the dream through the window.

‘A weird way to enter.’

-----Flurry Heart---

Sauron just destroyed half of the city and she couldn’t stop him, it was literally a nightmare for her. Why did he do that and why is this happening to her? Her mother… she died and her father was nowhere to find, she had to stay strong and tell Celestia and Luna what is happening. They will send help and with the Elements of harmony turn him into stone, or hopefully they will at least also send him to Tartarus.

She was on the edge of the city and she looked like the orb or sphere destroyed and devoured building after building ,sending shockwaves of dark magic and ending the guard’s men. She was yelling and crying but every time more were lost, so she just cried on the edge of the city in the air and she looked how the ponies were still running away from him.

“W…*sniff* wh-why?” Flurry with tears in her eyes and sniffling asked while looking at the massacre he was doing.

She wanted to give up but then a blue light caught her eye and the surroundings begin to crack, the light was coming from Aunt Luna and how she was doing something. She wanted to know what is she doing here in the Crystal Empire. But then she noticed how the world was beginning to fall as if this all was a nightmare and she was just saving her.

However the terrain quickly stopped shaking and everything became normal again ,and Sauron as he was so he still was, she begin to fear that this isn’t a nightmare because aunt Luna didn’t destroy all this, but rather it all as it was before she showed up. But if she is here then maybe Celestia and Twilight are also here, this gave her hope but it quickly vanished when she looked around saw only Luna.

“What the hay!!” she heard Luna curse.

She flew towards her aunt to see what is happening, of course she wanted to tell her what is happening and what happened and how it happened. She had to tell her how the city got attacked by Sauron and how he is destroying everything… even her life. He saved her to make her Tartarus out here, and to make her suffer for something she doesn’t know.

“Auntie Luna.” she yelled and hugged her with Tears in her eyes.

Luna Returned the hug with a very warm embrace and then she heard Flurry sniff and sob.

“M..M-Mom..she…d-d-d-” she was cut off by Luna hugging her more and slowly taking her and leaving her on the ground.

“Flurry look at me…” she said very slowly and with a soft voice, flurry looked at her and she sniffed one more time and a tear slided down her cheek “This isn’t real, Saur-Lord Sauron is here with me… he can also walk in someone’s dreams you know.” she hugged her one more time to make her ignore what was happening behind her.

However Luna couldn’t understand why she couldn’t destroy this nightmare other than that Sauron managed to block her from entering.She has to talk with him and denounce him for something like this, of course only she will know this and she won’t tell Cendence or Celestia in this matter. But the question still is why she can’t destroy her nightmare? Is he preventing her from doing it? She is the mistress of the night and goddess of the moon, she also was meant to defend her subjects from these cursed dreams for the love of Faust!

She had to do something because maybe she can’t destroy all this, but she can at least try and defeat this monster shadow version of Sauron. How could even Flurry think that he is going to look like this? He is scary looking and all but still he isn’t using the shadows or black magic, or maybe Flurry knows something she and Celestia should have known long ago?

“B-But if thi-this isn’t r-real…then why…your spell didn’t w-work.” she muttered out still sniffing but now a little less and her heart was calmer than before, she could sense it.

“Your nightmare is very powerful, and because of this it’s hard to destroy.” Luna lied and said it in a similar to Celestia motherly voice.

“Really?” Flurry Heart wiped of the tears she had in her eyes and followed by a quiet sniff.

“Really…” Luna said with a smile.

*Boom* Crack* Boom* Crack*

They both looked what was happening and they saw how the abomination of Sauron in it’s dark and shadow like cloud, took down the whole Crystal Palace by just slamming into it. It was really a not so beautiful but breathtaking thing to see, even in a dream your mind shows you something you can maybe see in the future because of your fears. You try to avoid it but then sometimes somepony lives through that nightmare ,where his or her best friends passes away or someone beloved leaves you.

“Make it go away.” Flurry said and pleaded.

Luna just wrapped her wing around her and said. “I’ll try to fight him.” she stated but then Flurry jumped and started to panic.

“No! you can’t! you don’t know how he defeated the dragon! He used this form! This magic by binding the shadows to his will!” she yelled to not let her favorite night teacher go and hurt herself because of her.

“What do you mean?”

“He… he beat the dragon with this, he managed to make the dragon look like a ragdoll in your games when he was in this state!” she exclaimed still not letting her aunt goa and fight Sauron even if this is all a dream.

Luna couldn’t believe what she heard, apparently Sauron used the shadows and darkness to his biding to defeat the dragon and make him look like a ragdoll in her games. She couldn’t believe it! This has to be a misunderstanding andhe in reality used smoke, or something like that to not reveal himself to the dragon so that he couldn’t later find him and kill him, actually to this day she didn’t with her sister meet with ember to discuss her dragons behavior.

“Are you saying that he defeated this dragon and managed to make him look like a midget pony compared to him?” Luna asked and with curiosity wanted to hear out the story.

“Yes.” she answered worried for her aunt but she gain was hugged and she felt better.

“Tell me how it all happened, so that we can quickly destroy this abomination of his and defend other ponies.” she said with a warm smile.

And so Flurry Heart begin to tell the story how she met the dragon, at first she looked for the flag. Then she found a cave and she thought he flag is in there. But she found a dragon instead of a flag, she run a little and then she tried to do some maneuvers but she knew not too much spell to defeat him ,and so she tried to make him tire himself out so that she could run. But the dragon pinned her to the ground ,and she broke a leg and a wing. When the dragon was about to strike, she closed her eyes not see the fire but nothing came ,then she saw a big sphere of darkness and shadow defending her.

Then she looked as he knocked him back and back, there was also a light coming from him. She thought it was him inside there but now she thinks it’s the ring he wears, it’s dark and really powerful and always when you looked at it you wanted to obey ,the ring and in this case the master of the ring ,and Sauron himself to become his servant. But getting back to the story she explained also how much he injured the dragon ,and cut one of his eyes. Then he said some word in his native language and the skies turned black and each word felt as if someone close to her Heart just passed away without saying goodbye.

“…And then the dragon started to run.” she finished and took a deep breath.

Luna was really interested now in Sauron and how he has the ability to use the darkness and shadow just like Sombra, and indeed his ring was very evil and sinister. She can also feel the power behind and how it really drives someone to jealousy and greed, also the urge to obey is something that makes her worry. Maybe it’s a artefact he did to keep sometimes order in parts of his cities from where he comes from.

“Let’s fight him.” she said and with a cocky grin she with Flurry were preparing to fight, but still Flurry objected that idea.

Of course for Luna it’s still was a mystery where Sauron is and why he isn’t here to help her with Flurry Heart. She really has to talk with him about all this, she though he will help her but as for now he just was a problem in the flank. Not only this but also she has to fight what seems to be one of his more powerful forms, or the state when he is in his peak of power.
