Nightmare Night] Day 5 - 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!

Nightmares and chaos and changelings, oh my!

This night wasn't going so well for Curiosity and his plans to scare the younger ones! Maybe he wasn't as grown up as he thought he was, considering he was again bolting from what was doubtless another costumed pony. He slowed to a more comfortable trot and considered that last thought. Psmith had told him that if something seemed impossible to look at the possible first. Is that what he had said? Something like that, he would have to track the older pony down another time and ask.

So, although changelings had certainly come to Canterlot on the day of the royal wedding, they had been banished by Princess Cadence and her husband. What was his name again, he was the Captain of the Royal guard but...

Where was he even? He stopped to take a look, there were plenty of ponies around chattering and making background noise. Ah, the town square of Ponyville, a convenient place to decide his next visit.

He would go to see the Moon castle, as Luna had lit the way through the forest. Hers had been the only event with a nice outcome so far, the least he could do was to visit her old castle.

Curiosity hurried down the path, partly to catch up with one of the larger groups and partly because he knew he was leaving it a bit late to visit all of the attractions tonight. The Everfree forest certainly did not seem as scary with a chattering group around him and he exchanged compliments and jokes about everyponies costumes until they took a collective gasp and looked up.

An obviously restored bridge stretched over a chasm before a mist shrouded path led to huge double doors set in a crumbling wall. Ruined towers still loomed over the main body of the building and glassless windows, many times as tall as a pony, made strange sounds as the wind passed.

The group approached the double doors in silence, whether in awe or reverence of the still overgrown castle. Opening the doors Curiosity stood in the main entrance, taller and less ruined buildings in the background vied for his attention but he could not draw his gaze from the cracked and overgrown monument that had once held the elements of harmony.

OOC:

How could you not feel sad about your history?

[colour=#0080FF]Scout decided it might be a good idea to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Ponyville centric activities, and travel into the Everfree Forest. She hoped she wouldn't run into Nightmare Moon again. She had already encountered the mare twice, and wasn't fond of the thought of meeting her again. She wasn't sure if it was just coincidence, or if the mare was after her after the events at the monument.

Scout hailed from Fillydelphia, so she was a city pony. Being out in the country was different enough, without the added fright the forest brought. She was used to big buildings and busy streets, not a quiet path surrounded by dark, looming, shadowy trees. But she was determined to make it to the moon palace and back, if only to demonstrate her bravery. She wasn't some wussy Earth pony, she was a foal from the streets![/colour]

Discord is here because he wishes to be, and nothing is more freedom loving than the essence of chaos. This trite trick or treating stuff is such an unbelievable bore, and those with the great luck in finding Discord will be rewarded with his own form of entertainment: Their bags of candy switched with somepony else's!

Current candy standings (no negatives in this competition):

Curiosity Sparks - 2

Scout - 0
