- >It's been two weeks since the attempt on Princess Luna's life.
- >Nopony's really sure if she'd ever be the same.
- >She stayed in her chambers and laid there.
- >She ignored everypony. Even her sister.
- >Not you though.
- >You were the only one she allowed in her space.
- >You were her royal night guard.
- >You were there when it happened.
- ***
- >It was a beautiful night.
- >Princess Luna had just finished lowering the moon.
- >You stood guard by the door to the balcony.
- >You were Anonymous. Her royal guard/servant.
- >Yeah, she could have had any maid pony be her servant.
- >But Luna had practically latched onto you after you appeared.
- >Which was coincidentally, the same time she returned from her thousand year imprisonment from the moon.
- >You could say that you were her first true friend.
- >So, you took your position without any complaints. You saw serving Luna as a privilege.
- >The Princess walks back to you. You can see the sleep in her eyes from having just woken up.
- >"Good night Anonymous."
- Wonderful job raising the moon, as always milady.
- >She giggles,"And you do a wonderful job keeping me safe."
- Thank you Princess. Where would you like to go?
- >"Breakfast would be wonderful. The dining hall please."
- >She trots off, to her destination, with you keeping pace behind her.
- Did you sleep well Princess?
- >"As always Anonymous. I don't have to worry about nightmares, with you guardi-"
- >*CRASH*
- >Oh shit. What was that?
- >You and Luna turn around to see what's going on.
- >There's a massive hole in the wall, chunks of wall on top of ponies, and a ton of smoke.
- >You already don't like what's happening.
- >Luna doesn't either.
- >Seeing as she's already helping injured ponies.
- Princess, wait! It's not safe!
- >She ignores you as she continues pulling ponies out from under rocks.
- >"Halt everypony."
- >A new challenger approaches.jpg
- >A group of unicorn guards enter the hallway.
- >They aren't wearing the standard day guard armor.
- >Bright orange and brilliant gold plate armor sits on the bodies of these unicorns.
- >The lead unicorn steps out from the group
- >"We are the Sun's Brilliance. We are here to cleanse Equestria of the night. Simply give us Princess Luna, and nopony gets hurt."
- >A group of radicals who want to eliminate Princess Luna.
- >Great.
- >At least this gives you a chance to use your training.
- >You run over to the Princess to pull her away from the maid, but you are stopped dead by a unicorn who has you in his magical grasp.
- >As he holds you, you feel a pressure in your rib cage.
- >Tighter.
- >Tighter still.
- >Too tight.
- Princess Luna, Ru-!
- *CRACK*
- >You scream in agony as your ribs are forced into your lungs.
- >Your breath leaves you as you feel your ribs forced further into your lungs.
- >"Anonymous!"
- >Luna rushes by your side, though she doesn't make it. The unicorn throws you back through the hole in the wall.
- >You had been disposed of like trash.
- >And the Princess was unprotected.
- >You saw and heard through a pain induced haze as your Princess was tortured in front of your eyes.
- >Initially, she fought hard and valiantly. Reducing their numbers greatly.
- >The few that were left however, made short work of her.
- >She was weak from having just gotten back.
- >The lead unicorn steps out once again.
- >He forces her to the ground. And the remaining unicorns cut and hack at her body.
- >Her screams echo throughout the halls.
- >The smell of blood reaches you the same time as a sickening crunch.
- >You would throw up if you could breath.
- You see a bright flash, a tall white figure enters.
- >The screams you're hearing aren't Luna's anymore.
- >You can't take it anymore.
- >Your breath hitches, your brain is deprived of much needed oxygen.
- >Your last conscious thought was the feeling of being levitated once more.
