Chapter 14: Trottingham’s Golden Noose
Celestia
Out in the empty grey plains of Equestria that stretched as far as the eye could see, a lonely dirt trail ran through the worn grey grass, headed for the shining city of Trottingham. Along it rode a lone wagon, ferrying ponies each within a few feet of each other but feeling far away from the others.
Four ponies, to be exact, with four brands of individual emptiness, though not all would be willing to admit it.
Three ponies lay in the back. Fate was sitting against a pair of stacked crates making small motions with his hooves and muttering something to himself to pass

The Everfree Forest
-Three Days Ago-
High above the clouds, a fortress of ground and forest flew aloft in the sky. A forest made of rough vines and vicious creatures, torn from it’s rightful place among Equestria.
An entire forest floated atop the sea of swirling grey clouds that stretched on as far as the eye could see. Vines hung off the sides and roots grew out of the sides of the underside of the forest, which was shaped like an upside-down mountain.
The sky around the flying forest was a swirl of colors and purple lights. Stars littered the sky, arranged with an almost painstaking

Chapter 13: Rock Bottom
Celestia
Deep in the underbelly of Rainkeeper Mountain, three groups of ponies stood on the shore of an underground lake. A pillar of dim light was shining through a shaft that led all the way up to the top of the mountain.
At the edge of the water stood Celestia, and laying just behind her in a deep slumber was Greed, recently brought back from the clutch of death.
Celestia’s mane hung limply from the water that was dripping off her body. Her chest heaved as she spread her good wing and stood in front of the unconscious body of Greed, ready to defend him from the group of ponies pouring in from a tunnel that

Celestia.
A voice called out from somewhere in the distance.
Celestia, get up. Come on, don't do this to me. Get up Princess.
It was far away but right next to her.
Do I seriously have to drag your sorry flank through this whole valley?
Celestia's senses came back to her. Everything was black and faded. Her eyes were useless and her ears could only hear a faint scraping sound.
Someone like you doesn't die this easily. Come on.
Fate?
"Stop just lying there...you don't have my permission to die yet."
Her body was still out cold but her mind began to process sound. She heard the sound of someth

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you in." A large colt blocked the door to a large hut.
"But I just want to see the alicorns!" A young mare pleaded.
The colt shook his head. "No. The sister are busy right now discussing the new castle. Nopony is to disturb them." the colt firmly stated.
She brushed her pure black hoof in the dirt before frowning and turning to leave. As she did the door opened and the head of a pure white alicorn came out. The alicorn looked down and saw the young mare turning to leave.
"Oh." She looked at the mare. "Hello pony, what are you here for?"

I suspect she will be here soon. She only has two options at this point, one of which would result in only failure. I don't know how, but somehow she is going to find out about us, and she is going to come for us.
Nightmare Moon was a fool to let her go. She had Celestia right in her hoof, but she let her desire for revenge get the better of her. She just wants to toy with her, make her slog through every bit of misery she can conjure up. And it's because she knows Celestia can take it.
If anything will be her downfall, it will be letting Celesti

She shows much promise. It seems she has regained any strength lost by time. Something I have also noticed is just how little she has changed over the years, she is still the same as I remember her to be.
Maybe she will really be able to beat Nightmare Moon. It's a stretch, but I'm not going to count out the possibility. It's unlike me to second guess myself, however I sincerely don't know if she could do it. Nightmare Moon has grown incredibly powerful since she returned.
I saw her when she was chasing after that zebra, she

Celestia stared into the face of the striped zebra, their eyes glowing a deep yellow. The light from the burning library showing their grey face. Celestia wondered how they could see her.
"Who are you?" She yelled over the flames.
"Why don't you find out and see? But to do that you must first catch me!" The zebra taunted and ran down a street faster then Celestia had ever seen a pony run on foot.
"Hey! Come back here! Please, you have to tell me if you saw somepony leave this library!" Celestia yelled

Chaos.
Magic.
Destruction.
Celestia had never seen these things on such a scale in thousands of years, she ran into the ruined town of Ponyville, shocked by it's pitiful state. She had no idea Nightmare Moon would cause so much tragedy and destruction.
Another quake shook her out of her reverie, she turned her attention from the charred buildings to the flashing source of the chaotic magic.
Her friend. Floating above a crater that was tearing itself into the ground. A ball of inte
