The Moon and Stars: Shades of the Nightmare - Ch 2
Less than ten minutes later a pair of stallions huddled in a room near the top of the four story building, their eyes wide and their horns glowing feverishly in the low light of a single overhead light bulb that swung back and forth slowly from the ceiling.
“Did you see where they went?” the first one asked, his voice a tight whisper. The stallion to the right of the door shook his head jerkily, his ill-fitting helmet bouncing against his horn as he did so.
“No, I just saw them come up the stairs before I bolted in here,” he hissed back, his eyes wide and his pupils dilated. “I didn’t even get a

The Moon and Stars: Shades of the Nightmare - Ch 1
The cycle of day and night has spun on since time immemorial- an endless dance through the heavens that ancient races of ponies mimicked through sacred rituals and molded into their theology.

“Flurry Heart… speak to you… listen…”
The light from the waxing half-moon outside poured through the window and into Flurry Heart’s room, its gentle silver rays filling the spacious and well decorated room with cool light and deep shadows. It was a peaceful sort of night and, despite the conversation she’d had with her mother earlier in the day, Flurry had no problem falling asleep as the wind sighed softly through her window.
That had, of course, been much earlier in the night, and now the once slumbering young Princess lay on her back, her eyes trai
