A Mistake at a Glance

[twilight sparkle]

"You really want to know why I felt as if no pony gave a flying feather about me lulu? Hm?!" Angelic said.

 

[GreenBirdie]

Luna rolled her eyes. "We are fairly sure that is what we asked."

 

[twilight sparkle]

Angelic said"when I woke up yesterday morning no one was by my side to even check on me! No one! Only yami and komo because they actually cared! But I had to give them up so they could have better lives while I was on the run!"

 

[GreenBirdie]

Luna facehoofed. "If ponies could have PMS, we would say that thou has it big. How long did thou even wait?"

 

[twilight sparkle]

Angelic huffed and said"close to an hour. Then I left." She trotted to the window and stood up ok her hooves looking out.

 

[GreenBirdie]

"An hour isn't fully enough time. We took up teaching the young Maelstrom with Dream, and we use sound-proof barrier, as well as locking the door. It gets exceedingly loud in his room, so we cannot hear the calls. Only major royalty and extremely powerful magicians can use messaging spells, and most of the guard here is earth pony, so no message can get to the other princesses. Remember this: Our lives stop not when thine does."

 

[twilight sparkle]

Angelic close her eyes her mane over her eyes. She opened them and they were a dark brown almost black. Angelic got down onto her hooves and looked at Luna with an ice cold gaze that was rare for angelic to have.

 

[GreenBirdie]

Luna was not amused. She fought dragons, stopped Discord, versed her own sister, and fought the Nightmare Forces daily. This was nothing. "Why, does the truth hurt thee?"

 

[twilight sparkle]

"Oh I don't know! Remember when no one cared about the night?! Weren't you hurt? Yes you were! But I used to love your beatiful nights! How the stars dotted the sky how the moon glowed in beauty! I get hurt too when I get forgotten!"

 

[GreenBirdie]

"YOUR MEASLY TIME SPENT WAS NOTHING!" Luna shouted, eyes becoming white. "AN HOUR! WE HAD TASKS TO BE COMPLETED! YOU ARE A SIMPLE FOOL, BECAUSE THOU ARE STILL CRYING WITH SADNESS FROM THAT! SPENDING A FULL DAY TO SEARCH FOR THOU, AND ONCE WE FIND THOU, THOU ACT AS IF WE HARMED THEE WITH MURDER INTENT!"


"A DECADE AND SIX YEARS WERE SPENT, WATCHING AS EVERYPONY PRETENDED NIGHT WAS MERELY FAKE AND NOPONY TOOK PART IN OUR LUNAR FESTIVALS! FOR EVERYPONY IN EQUESTRIA, NOT ONE CHOSE TO VISIT FOR EVEN A MOMENT!" Luna shook her head growling, her teeth slightly sharpening, those teeth extending in length. They faultered for a moment as she shook her head. "Thou are a fool. Thou hath not been forgotten, we hath lives to live. Longer than that decade and six years. It was only when that time hath started, we began to feel insecure over mine night."

 

[twilight sparkle]

Angelic closed her eyes tight starting to get angry."get out." She muttered. "Why did I even believe we were friends when we first met and told each other out favorite parts of the night?" Angelic shook her head and sat in a corner twitching a bit.

 

[GreenBirdie]

Luna shook her head, sighing. "I wonder why thou considers us a friend, when thou hath no trust. We will speak to Celestia and the others, for we consider that you were given princess-hood too soon." She got off her chair, and began walking towards the door.

 

[twilight sparkle]

"Oh yea who was the one who stopped an upcoming war when she was a filly?" Angelic said looking back at her then turned away we muzzle in the air. She was born an alicorn, not made one. But she didn't go around flaunting her status around like certain ponies.

 

[GreenBirdie]

"The young feel not the grasp of villainy." She said, dismissing her achievement. She paused, then using magic, reinforced the strength of the walls the her magic. She exited.


She had a letter to send.

Dream, minutes later, entered the dungeon. "Oh, there you are. I was wondering where Princess Luna placed you." He said, speaking to Angelic.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Angelic laid down on the floor her back to him. She had her wings on her face and there were cracks around her. Angelic shook some and bit her wings ripping out feathers.

 

[GreenBirdie]

"Huh. She turn Nightmare on you? It has those effects later..." He remembered the last time he saw her turn Nightmare. She was still scary, despite the fact he is a hardened soldier, and he remembered his mind was ravaged by looking at her. He couldn't imagine the way it would affect her soon, if it wasn't already.

 

[twilight sparkle]

"Just kill me. Something. Luna has noright to have said what she said to me." She said continuing to rip out a few feathers ignoring the pain blood splattering the floor.

 

[GreenBirdie]

"...What did she say?" His image of Angelic changing. He knew Luna wouldn't abuse power, so it was her that was wrong.

 

[twilight sparkle]

"She said that I might was given my princess hood too soon! I have never once abused my power or use it to my advantage! I have not been immature! I have just been doing my duty as one! I have been feeling all these stupid feelings I've never felt and it's been driving me crazy!"

 

[GreenBirdie]

He stopped, and began thinking. After a minute, he smiled and laughed. "You don't get it, do you? Do you understand the Nightmare Forces, or do you believe it something that cannot touch you?"

 

[twilight sparkle]

Angelic gave him an icy glare to stop laughing."explain."

 

[GreenBirdie]

He still held a smile as he explained, unfazed by her glare. "The Nightmare Forces aren't an external force: They are internal. They are in everypony, but not in any other creature. The Nightmare Forces are in a small part of your mind, hiding until you begin to fall emotionally. They wait for the mentally weak to snap, and then they fester."


"They target all, but don't act upon all, and are more likely to act when somepony gets physically or magically stronger. Especially if you are weak mentally, as stated earlier. They begin putting doubts and frustrations in our minds, making us angry and sad. For those who are weak physically or magically, they reduce their mental health until they're completely gone and insane, and only the most fortunate escape that. For the strong, however..." He paused, smile leaving his face.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Angelic paced back and forth her bloody wings on her sides. She sat down near the window again her ears flat.

 

[GreenBirdie]

"For the strong who fail to control the Nightmare Force, they are rendered with longetivity, until it fails and gets destroyed, and only wish death or to be the strongest. Based on the way they act, you can tell their greatest personality vice they had before they succumbed. Sombra, he was a greedy pony. Star Swirl, he became in the last year of his life, only minorly afflicted. His last spells, however, messed with the lives of the ponies, showing his secret desire for power and control."


"You are wondering, why little amounts of alicorns are existant. The Nightmare Force caused them to be reservant in their powers of granting alicorns, and creating princesses or princes."

 

[twilight sparkle]

Angelic huffed sitting down again. She didn't need a lecture she needed to get out of here and get that ring off. Angelic grumbled as she heard her stomach growl loudly.
