A light grey lavender mare with a white mane was sitting beside Princess Celestia reading over a scroll. She had a small pendant hanging from her neck as her eyes move back and forth over the scroll.

“Well, Twilight would she be a perfect candidate for archmagi?” Celestia’s voice was cool and calm as her eyes hid the pain she was going through. Twilight looked up and nodded.

“Of course princess. I think she will do well” Twilight smiled as she handed the scroll towards the princess. Hooves click against the marble floor causing Twilight to glance up noticing princess Luna walking towards her.

“Ah, sister Twilight here has picked the new archmagi” Celestia smiled as Luna glanced towards Twilight.

“Well, that is something. But I need young Twilight’s help” Luna smiled as Twilight blushed.

“I’m am not that” her voice died in her throat as she noticed the scenery changing around her. Twilight sighed as she looked up towards the blue alicorn “Could have told me it was a dream. I must have fallen asleep in a book again” she groaned as Luna snickered.

“Well, I need your help. I have gathered the others already” she waved her hoof towards her friends as they were all trying to wake up. Even Discord was in the mix with his nightcap sitting on his head glaring towards the princess.

“Princess, why do you need us?”

“Yes, I am for one with Twilight on this one” Discord spoke up as the others nodded.

“A pony that you all know is having an issue. I am not sure about the problem and thought you all might be able to help me. Come follow me” Luna walked along a long dark blue hall causing the others to follow. As they walked along the hall till a flash of light covered them transporting them into another dream. Twilight and the other jaw’s dropped as they found themselves on the bottom of the ocean looking towards a massive shipwreck. The front of the ship was sitting straight up allowing them to read the words “Silver Platinum” as the bottom half was lying on its side. They started to walk towards the ship noticing the portholes were showing different parts of Selene’s life but a few were shattered or missing completely. As they moved closer they could hear a loud banging noise.

“how do we get in?” Applejack looked towards the princess as Luna smiled.

“We swim” she jumped off the ground and did a little doggy paddle style up along the side of the ship. Luna had slipped into the ship through an open crack causing the others to quickly following not wanting to get lost. They noticed a pink clownfish was swimming happily around with a white and purple parrotfish. A small yellow puffer was hiding behind a purple angle fish. A rainbow Shark and an orange shark were swimming around sniffing and glaring towards Selene. She was busy digging through the items on the floor. She had an emerald and gave it a sniff.

“No that’s an emerald grass. I need to find what smells like sugar.” Looking around Selene noticed a vein of amethyst hiding on the floor “There you are. You keep changing places each night” Selene spoke up as she followed the vein into the front of the ship. Luna and the others stayed hidden watching the merpony move about.

“Princess where are we?” Fluttershy spoke up as she looked towards the yellow pufferfish.

“We are in Selene’s dream which has led to her subconscious. Its been happening a few nights and each time she spots me quickly. She has also been sick and I tend to stay away from their dreams” Luna shivered as she moved towards the crack Selene went into.

“And you wanted us why?” Rainbow spoke up as Luna stopped and looked towards the merpony.

“I thought she might have told you something. Now come along” Luna waved her hoof causing the others to follow. Once they were all in the same room Luna pushed the other ponies behind a large treasure chest.

“Where is?” Luna placed her hoof over Applejack’s muzzle and pointed towards Selene. She was floating in front of a large amethyst crystal with a blue sapphire sword and a large brown spellbook in the middle. Selene was gripping a long silver spear as she started to chip at the stone. Once her spear had touched the stone Selene and the others saw a dream or something through her eyes.

Her eye level was split between the top and the bottom of the ocean as she stared at an empty beach. Large coconut trees lined the beach separating the grassy surface from the sandy beach. Selene slowly made her way towards the surface. She pulled herself onto the beach as she looked around before getting tackled.

“Found ya!” a high pitch voice yelled out causing Selene to rub her eyes.

“Yeah but you got sand in my gills Ti…..” the sound went out as Selene stopped rubbing her eyes. She was staring at a small purple unicorn pony smiling. Her cutie mark was nothing but a pink blur and her mane was a solid lavender color.

“Well the chief let me learn how to hunt while mother is deeper in the island!” she clapped her hooves as Selene giggled.

“Oh?” Selene glanced towards the pony as the filly kissed her cheek and ran off.

“Your it!”

“You are on!” Selene started to chase the filly. The dream ended as Selene was floating there still her hooves were still wrapped around the spear. She took another swung at the amethyst but nothing happened. She kept swinging till the spear she was holding broke.

“I hate my father!” Selene yelled out as she started to cry. The others watched as Star moved through the haul of the ship. This time they noticed she was all bright and soft pink instead of the harsh red and black.

“How many times must this be said. You will never break your father’s spell like that. No matter what you gran you will not break this” Star sighed.

“I want to know what my father is making me forget! I want to know why he is making me forget!” Selene sighed as she rested her tail on the bottom of the ship looking up at the crystal “Each time I see something new my heart either drops or it skips a beat before fluttering. Did I do something to cause my father to be angry at me?” she looked up towards Star.

“I am not sure Selene. I wasn’t around then” Star watched as Selene picked up a large frying pan and. This time she hit one of the smaller crystals causing them to break.

Selene was moving through a cave filled with bottles and trinkets hanging from the ceiling. She glanced around noticing some skulls were hanging from the ceiling as she moved in deeper. She noticed a white and red merpony standing in front of a cauldron. Her light pink mane was flowing behind her as she turned to stare at Selene.

“I thought your father would keep you from me my dear” her voice was calm and sweet.

“I wanted to know more about your grandmother. They called you evil and tossed you from the throne allowing father to take it. But the spells you were using are healing spells like the green tails use. You weren’t evil you were just making healing potions and spells to use weren’t you” Selene glanced up towards the merpony. She had a red and blue cracked gem on her back as she smiled softly.

“You are a smart one. You will give those nobles a run for their gems” she snickered as she moved towards a bookcase pulling out a large coral bound book with pages stuffed in it “This is where I keep all my best healing spells and potions. I saw too many of my people suffer and I wanted to help. Your grandfather said it was for the best to let the weaker ones die. The strongest will be best to keep the kingdom running. Ever since the empire has disappeared we were struggling.” She glanced away as Selene picked up a rock and sat on it. She looked towards her small tail as it moved a bit. She noticed the large cauldron was sitting on a lava vent.

“But father saw his mistake grandmother. He is allowing the green tails or green healers to practice their magic. He even gave the blacktails that carry books and skulls with them a job” Selene was waving her fins as the merpony glance towards her.

“Really and what job would they have?”

“They are Sea reapers. They record the merponies who die far from home. They come back now and then allowing father to do a large funeral for them all” Selene smiled as the larger merpony smiled back before patting her head.

“Oh you will be a force to be reckoned with” she giggled.

“I want to go to the surface grandmother” Selene looked towards her. The merpony looked back and nodded.

“I know you do my dear. But you know your father will be displeased”

“I know. Grandmother, what will happen when you die?” Selene looked towards her as the merpony laughed.

“My dear I will turn to dust as the gem will be the only thing left of me” The merpony picked up Selene in her hooves and spun her around “Oh I wish your brothers would be as brave as you. I wish to see them” she had a smile as Selene leaned down and hugged her.

“I know” Ra poked his head in and sighed.

“Princess we need to leave”

“I thought you came without being seen?” the merpony looked towards Selene as she blushed a bit.

“I did but Ra found me halfway.”

“I won’t tell unless we start heading back” he smiled as the merpony laughed.

“Clever one. Keep an eye on her for me” the merpony handed Selene the large coral bound book “Here keep my spellbook. Maybe those green tails can use the healing spells” she smiled as Selene nodded. Days went by and Selene was able to slip out of the kingdom for a bit. Za and Ra were both keeping their distance to let her feel she had snuck out. Selene made it to the cave noticing most of the stuff was untouched. A pile of ash was sitting in the middle of the room with broken pieces of gem. Picking up the gem she noticed a Sea reaper was writing in her book in the corner.

“Do you half to tell my father?” she watched as the merpony nodded “Can you not tell him I took her gem. I’m going to go hide them in the family grave. She has done nothing wrong”

“I know. Most of us outcast knows the queen was only trying to help. I will not tell him I saw you” she waved Selene off. Selene placed her gem and a few books in her bags before swimming out of the cave. Selene made it back to the kingdom and slipped into the family graveyard. She looked for the headstone of her grandfather. Once she located it she made a deep small hole and placed the gems in before covering them up. She placed a single flower near the headstone before leaving. The image stopped as Selene dropped the frying pan as she looked towards Star.

“Father said we never had a grandmother. She died and I believed it. I saw that same book and always wondered where I got it from.” Selene placed her hoof to her head as she started to cry. She shook her head as Star watched from above sighing softly. Star noticed the others watching from the chest whispering towards each other. Moving down to Selene Star placed her hoof under her chin.

“I am sorry about this. You need to wake up” Star moved closer as Selene cleared her tears.

“What do you mean?” Selene looked around but Star brought her head back towards her. She allowed Selene to see her fangs. Selene’s wings spread open as she looked towards the merpony.

“When did you get those fangs” Selene’s voice was shaking as she glances towards Star.

“My dear I have always had them. Star pulled Selene into her hooves as Selene tried to back away. Star leaned in towards Selene’s neck biting down softly before pressing her fangs into Selene’s neck. She dropped her hooves beside her as Star released her mouth from her neck letting the blood run from her neck. Luna stood up as the others appeared from their hiding spot. Star kept her eyes on Selene noticing her eyes rolling in the back of her head before she started to disappear.

“Let this be a warning. Do not interfere with her mind!” Star growled as she moved towards Luna.

“Dreams are my domain pony” Luna glared towards her.

“The last pony to say that to me messed her mind up with sealing spells! Her memories are all out of order! Now, why should I believe you?” Star kept glaring down at Luna allowing her fangs to be seen.

“I am the princess of the night! I walk among the dreams to help my ponies not to frighten them!” Luna moved towards Star

“Well then earn my trust. Break the amethyst behind me then” she had a grin on her face. Luna glanced towards the gem before turning her head back to the pony in front of her.

“mind magic is only limited to those who have the training and the years under them. They half to go to school and get a license” Twilight looked up as Star placed her fangs away. She leaned down and patted Twilight on the head.

“Mind magic can be used by any pony, my dear. and you are too innocent to be here. All of you are” she smiled towards the others before glancing up at Luna and Discord.

“However you two are not so innocent are you?” she laughed a bit her eyes turning black “now leave” she waved her hoof sending them flying back into the hall. Luna and Discord slammed into the wall as the others floated from the ceiling landing on their hooves.

“Oh and Twilight please check on Selene. I think I bit to hard” Star’s voice echoed throughout the hall as Twilight blushed a bit.

“Sure” Twilight noticed her thought had just echoed throughout causing the others to stare at her.

“Twi?” Applejack fixed her hat as the others helped Discord and Luna up.

“The first step is a doozy. Fluttershy you need a parachute” Discord landed in front of them as smaller discords in pink tutu’s danced around his head. Twilight looked away as Luna glared towards her.

“Twilight if that thing is in your head”

“No! Star only talks to me when Selene is teaching me magic. She hangs out in the stands while watching. I only hear Star when Selene is either hiding something from me or is too shy to speak herself” Twilight was backing up from the group as she looked up towards them.

“Twilight” the others started to move as Twilight started to freak out.

“She not harming me!” Twilight used her magic and pushed the others away. What she didn’t realize was her magic had affected the hall they were in. Twilight looked around after the flash of magic had died down allowing her to see. She was no longer in the long dark blue hall but a stoned balcony overlooking a large library. She glanced along the walls noticing the stain glass windows moving with different parts of her life. She noticed three were still and unmoving. One had a merpony holding its hoof out to a purple filly. The second one as a merpony in the water with a purple filly was on top playing around. The third was a merpony holding out a sword surrounded by a heart as the filly had a book surrounded by a heart. Each of the ponies were faceless as she moved from the balcony. As she walked along the hall she noticed a soft blue light glowing from a hall. Peaking her head down it she noticed a pair of crystal blue doors with a silver lock closed in front of a sword and a book sitting on a pedestal. Twilight moved closer to the door but was stopped short as Luna pulled her out of the hall.

“Twilight sparkle” she glared towards the purple unicorn. She was blushing as she was glaring at the princess of the night. Luna glared down at the hall as she noticed the same two objects were sealed. Moving her eyes up she noticed the windows before turning her head back to the unicorn.

“I and my sister will be visiting you in the morning” Luna used her magic and pulled the ponies back into the hall each of them was staring at Twilight. Pinkie Pie was bouncing as she looked towards Twilight.

“Tell Selene I will pick her up” she whistled as she started to walk off.

“Element of Laughter where are you going?” Luna was on her last nerves.

“to my dream. It's down the hall to the left with a lot of candies!” Pinkie disappeared leaving them snickering a bit. Luna flared up her magic and sent the rest of them back to there own dreams leaving her standing trying to unravel what just happened in front of her.

Twilight woke up noticing she was staring at her bedroom door and it was upside down. She was hanging from her bed her leg wrapped up in the sheets. Groaning a bit she noticed the sun was barely over the horizon causing her to sit up. She used her magic to free herself causing her to fall on her back. Twilight’s ears moved a bit as she noticed the sounds of pots and pans moving around. Pushing herself up she walked towards the bathroom and she cleaned herself up. As she was in the bathroom Selene was pulling herself from the tank placing a hoof towards her neck as she noticed Spike was in the kitchen cooking quickly. Selene placed her spell on as she walked towards the kitchen table picking a spot up.

“Good morning Spike” Selene let out a yawn causing the young dragon to turn around.

“Good morning Selene. Tea or coffee?” he was grinning as Selene pointed towards the coffee.

“Coffee please” she was rubbing her neck as Spike placed a cup of coffee in front of her. As soon as her hoof touched the cup he placed a plate of eggs in front of her with some hash browns to follow suit. Selene looked towards the plate of food as Spike was switching gears to make pancakes.

“Why so much food?” Selene sipped on her coffee before poking the food in front of her.

“I’m just hungry” Spike shrugged as Selene placed her cup in front of her before pulling her plate towards her. She began poking the plate of food before taking a bite out of it. She noticed the plate had a lot of cheese on it for her taste but it was good.

“How is it?” Spike placed a large stack of food on the table.

“Good to much cheese for me, however” she kept picking at the food as Twilight walked down the stairs.

“So what do you have planned today?” spike was cleaning up the kitchen before sitting down to the large plate of pancakes. Twilight had noticed a plate of waffles and eggs waiting for her with a cup of coffee waiting for her.

“I think Pinkie Pie wanted me to come over. I think she was coming to pick me up” Selene looked towards the door.

“Oh well that will be fun” Spike smiled as Selene looked towards Twilight.

“Good morning and how did you sleep?” Selene smiled as Twilight’s eyes looked towards Selene’s neck noticing a large bruise.

“How did you?”

“I crashed into a bookcase in the tank” she giggled as Twilight looked towards her.

“She won’t remember anything that happened last night.” Star spoke up as Twilight glance towards Selene. As the merpony was pushing her plate away the door opened up as Pinkie ran into the treehouse. She grabbed Selene and smiled.

“She mine for the day!” Pinkie shouted and ran out of the treehouse giggling with Selene in her hooves.

“Okay”

“The princesses are coming Spike. Make a lot of coffee and tea please.”
