It was midnight. The full moon and the stars shone coldly in a cloudless sky. A gentle breeze

swept over the country. But suddenly the glow of the moon and stars wavered a little. The

breeze stiffened a bit and somewhere in a deep dark forest, something happend.

On the forest floor, a blaze of blue-black sparks to burn a pattern onto the ground. The

glowing sparks formed lines that combined into a pentagram. For a while, nothing happened.

Then, in the middle of the pentagram formed a ball of darkness. It quickly became larger.

Silently, a figure came out of it. It seemed to be quite thin, but because it was wearing baggy

clothes, there was no way to be sure that it was. The figure's right hand held a long wooden

rod. The toes of the stranger's shoes arched upward. On its head, it wore a pointed hat with a

wide brim, and on its face was a black wooden mask. The mask was clearly magical; green

illuminated signs and symbols danced on its surface.

The figure gestured sharply with a slender hand. The pentagram disappeared from the forest

floor and the splendor of the moon and stars was again bright as before. The figure looked

around. Far in the west, there was a silhuette of a palace perched on the top of a mountain

A few miles from the foot of the mountain, the stranger saw a village.

"Ghehehehehe.... this looks like fun."

"Spike?" the dark unicorn asked, "are you ready?"

"Yes, Twilight," said the little dragon as he came out of the library, "it's all sorted."

"Well, now we can go to sle--Oh, a message?"

Spike burped briefly, caught the parchment that manifested from the fire, and handed it to

Twilight. "It's from Princess Celestia! What does she wants from you so late?"

I don't know. It must be urgent." she replied and began to read.

After just a few lines, she became pale. When she had finished reading, she said, "She wanted to warn us."
