I can't believe that Twilight would allow me to stay in the castle if I'm honest here I started to have feelings for her. After I saved her from the Storm King and almost died in the process, but then she saved me. I don't know when but I started to love her. It's been three days since the festival and the more time I spend here the closer we get. On the opposite side of things, I can feel something is different in the shadows like if somepony is there watching me. I doubt it's anything important but I can't shake the feeling. Each passing day the feeling of someone watching my every move was unsettling like claws against the chalkboard. On the flip side each day my love for Twilight grew, I don't know how but My love for her just grows and I can't help it. Each day I can tell she has a soft spot for me and so do I.
Today is the day I'm going to ask her out. It's been 3 months since the festival, and the first day I felt something in the shadows. Lately the feeling that some pony's there has left. Walking down the halls of Twilight's castle there was something off. As I trotted down the hall the walls looked like they were moving in, the more I walk the more the walls moved in on me. It wasn't long before my surroundings darkened and something cold, wet, and smooth surrounded me. I tried to look around me but I couldn't see anything but darkness, then a mysterious mare was standing over me. She looked like a shadow of a pony, squinting I noticed that the pony was an alicorn. She looked like the same age as Celestia and height too. Her coat was a dark purple like color, her mane a black and purple ombre flowy too. Her horn, and wings were jagged like Queen Chrysalis, and her cutiemark looked like a broken heart, with a rose in between the heart.
"I see that you changed Tempest, from the first day I watched you when you arrived here at Twilights castle." the mare spoke softly, but frim.
"You're the pony in the shadows that was watching us?" I asked.
"Why yes, I am that shadow. I'm Queen Black Mist of Shadow Equestria."
"Wait what Shadow Equestria...?"
"Yes, a world that no pony knows about except you, and Princess Celestia."
"I don't understand."
"Here let me help you understand. You see my kingdom used to be in the light of the sun living happily undermine and Celestia's rule, then one fateful day I was banished, along with my kingdom. Banished here in the shadows living our life out of the sun, must of my subjects don't know what it feels to be in the warm sun."
"I'm sorry to hear that, but what do you want me?"
"I was getting there. When I watched I couldn't help notice you feel like you haven't changed, but you did change and I'm here to show you that change if you help me. "
"What type of change?"
"The type that you want, you want to be understood, loved, and live a life of power."
"I don't know. I do want to be understood. So I guess it would be a yes."
"Wonderful. Here's your first lesson."
As she spoke a black liquid looks almost like tar exit Black Mists horn and swirl around me. A sense of panic arose and all types of thoughts entered my mind, " Why did I say yes," "What is happening?" In the midst of my thoughts, whatever spell she used on me picked me up and spun around me and enter into my body. It felt cold as it entered I could feel something change, like a part of me unlocked. A part of me that I had locked away after the Storm King died. I hadn't felt like this before though it was different like if someone or something had entered my body. My body began to hurt it felt like I was on fire everything around me blurred as I fell unconscious I herd a sinister laugh and everything went black.
