[Nightmare Night] Day 4 - Everfree Moon Palace


MyLittlePonyTales

Recommended Posts

What would Nightmare Night be without a trip through the Everfree Forest? Travel along the dimly lit path, through the shadowy woods. Not to worry though, Princess Luna has enchanted the way to the old castle, protecting all who stay within the light. However, there may be a few brave adventurers hiding just behind a tree or bush, waiting to scare those who pass by, willing to risk their own safety for a spooky prank. Be sure not to step off the path in fright!

Darkness felt so at home in the Everfree Forest, his black pelt blended right into the Dark in the forest, and his red eyes, mane, and tail added to the look. He looked as if he belonged here and he was quite contempt to try and get to the Royal Castle Ruins if he could manage, he heard they were marvelous! He padded along, a few fillies were afraid of him but that made him smile a bit. He didn't even have to try to be scary, he sometimes just was!

After getting away from Iron Will, Snails fell out of a secret entrance with a bunch of foals, ending up on the magic moonlit path straight to the Everfree Moon Palace.

He looked back to see if that was Snips that fell out of the house behind him.

Making sure at least one of the ponies was close on his heels, he headed into the lit path to see who it was.

Costume: None, wearing her brown/gray traveling cloak with hood

After the shenanigans she pulled off at the Tartarus House, Telki felt that perhaps somewhere more peaceful and quiet was in order, somewhere she wouldn't be tempted to prank anypony.

Strolling cheerily along the lighted path, her hoofalls only periodically broken by the sounds of giggling and chattering foals, which she assumed were nearby. This time, her willpower won out and she resisted all urges to go crashing through the undergrowth, probably while yelling something about tasty foals for supper.

"[colour=#FF8C00]Maybe nothing will happen today...hopefully[/colour]" she thought to herself as she neared the castle gates

[colour=#696969]Snips finally caught up with Snails as the orange colt went down the path into the Everfree Forrest. This was the only time of the year the two were allowed anywhere near the forest, after the Ursa incident... The tails of Snips' coat were flapping as he galloped to catch up. "Oh wow, where've you been, Snails? Somehow I lost you after the Changeling place." Snips had been so stunned when, not only had Applebloom confirmed that changelings were real, and she had SEEN their Queen, up close, to then have a vistit from Princess Luna herself... well, somehow he'd gotten separated from his friend.[/colour]

[colour=#696969]Snips looks around at the dark, spooky pathway. This place definitely brought back some un-fun memories. "I haven't seen Discord yet, but he was in here last year..." he reminded Snails.[/colour]

This hungry spirit ruefully looks down upon the ponyfolk who mock her so openly on a night dismissively named after her. With a great clap of thunder and in a storm matching her fury, she will come down upon you and you will know true fear on this night! Only an offering of candy will send her away, as even cackling deities enjoy chocolate. Everypony loses a candy, but escapes with their lives.

She was trying to be good really! But Karma works in strange ways...

Telki had managed to avoid doing anything naughty with regards to scaring anypony, but apparently the universe had other things in mind and Telki soon came face to face with Nightmare Moon herself.

Despite her severe height disadvantage, overall inability to cast anything to protect herself and every instinct screaming at her to turn tail and flee, Telki stood her ground, trying to appear brave in the face of one of the most powerful antagonists in Equestria.

With a cackle, Nightmare Moon disappeared and Telki felt her candy pouch suddenly go limp, opening it she realized that her last candy was gone!

[colour=#FF8C00]"ARGGGGGG! This isn't fair[/colour]" she yelled at the starry sky.

Snails bounced in joy at finding Snips again and eagerly trotted along with him.

[colour=#daa520]"Ah'm so glad ta catch up ta ya Snips!"[/colour]

His joy was short lived, for as soon as the Moon Palace came into view, there was a sudden swirl of starry blue mist, and SHE appeared!

Nightmare moon was no less scary as she was last year, and demanded a piece of candy as an offering.

Trembling, Snails pulled out the piece of candy given by Iron Will and tossed it to the Nightmare. [colour=#daa520]"Here! Please dont gobble us up!"[/colour]

He nosed Snips and began running[colour=#daa520] "Hurry Snips! We gotta go to the Nightmare Monument!"[/colour]
