                               Chapter 8:
                          Part of Night's motive

Celestia was walking to her room as she had a long day, cities were being
attack and she had sent guards over to help them. She also had to write to
the rulers of the lands outside of Equestria as they had wrote her about
this war going on. They had agreed to meet with her if they were attacked,
but they would send help as they had knew Celestia for years and owe her so
much in the past. As Celestia was walking around a corner she bumped into
someone. She saw it was Cadance and apologized.

"Oh Cadance, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." Celestia says.

"Ah it's OK, I was looking for you." Cadance replies.

"Oh? Is everything OK?" Celestia asked.

"I talked to Night's right hand guard, and..." Cadances starts.

Meanwhile Night was testing Luna's powers again, this time he had tested her
ability to use her horn as a sword, but with it flowing with energy like a
saber that his guards uses if they weren't a Unicorn.

"This is hard...keeping that much energy together while using my horn as a
sword is hard." Luna says tired from her training.

"For now yes, but you can do it. You just need...a motive." Night smiles.

"What kind of motive?" Luna asked.

"Hehehe, think...that someone is about to hurt Pip, then using that to fuel
your power to protect him." Night smiled.

Luna nodded, but imaging that in her head wasn't easy. She tried to think of
ways to do what Night asked but she just couldn't image Pip being hurt, she
just couldn't do it. Night saw this and smiled, without warning he charged
at Luna who wasn't paying attention.  

"Luna look out!" Pipsqueak cried out.

Luna snapped out of her thinking to see Night charging her, in quick
reaction she swung her horn downward sideways creating a shockwave that shot
at Night. Caught off guard Night quickly jumped upward as his robe was
barely burnt by the shockwave. As he landed the shockwave hit the wall and
disappeared as it left cracks in it.

"Hehehe...good move...you almost got me there." Night bowed.

"I guess I did. Ha! I'm getting better at using my abilities." Luna said
happy.

"Indeed you are, now maybe soon you'll be able to since feelings clearly."
Night smiled. "Heh, Shadow. Take Pip and go outside the room, for this next
test we need to be alone with no distractions."

Shadow nodded and walked up to Pipsqueak, together they left the room and
stand outside. As they left Night turned to Luna then said. "OK Luna time to
go on to the next step of sincing feelings. Telling what they are, are you
ready?"

Luna nodded and got into her defense stance. "Good, now...give it all you
can." Night said firing a beam at Luna.

Luna fired her own beam at and striking Night's, as they hit, they both felt
the power from them and tried to keep their beams staidly. "Hehe good you
got a lot stronger...now. Cleanse your mind of everything, and see into my
mind before I see into yours." Night smiled as he put more power into his
beam.

Luna almost kneed down a little by the force of Night's power, but she wasn't
giving up. She stood up straight and kept her mind on out powering Night.
With only one thought in her mind she gave everything into her beam powering
it up. Soon her beam started to push through Night's, he was slowly being
pushed backwards at the force of it. During this and unaware of them
princess Celestia and Cadance walked in seeing them. Celestia was worried as
she didn't know what was going on, before she could move Shadow walked up and
blocked her off by opening his right wing. Before she could ask him to move
she turned to Night and Luna to see Luna walking closer to Night, then as
she lifted her head up her beam had completely broke through Night's and
striking him on his horn.

Within seconds Luna saw flashes again, but this time they were clearer. She
couldn't see them all but the ones she could see was of a young mare that
looked like Luna when she was very young. Before she could see her name
Night created a small burst of wind breaking the spell. As the spell broke
Luna fell to her knees.

"Hahaha...very good...you almost read my thoughts but you just got to learn
to..." Night stopped his self as he notices Celestia and Cadance.
"P-Princesses?! What bring you here?" Night asked bowing.

"To talk with you, Luna leave us. I need to speak with Night alone."
Celestia asked in her tune she used when she's upset.

"B-But why? We were in the middle of training, can't it wait?" Luna asked.

"No, Night said if I decided to, that I may stop him from training you. I
may do after we talk, now please leave." Celestia asked again, this time
giving Luna her royal and worried stare.

"...Fine sister..." Luna nodded then slowly walked out. As she left the room
Shadow and Cadance follows, outside waiting for Shadow was Night's right hand
guard.

Back in the room Celestia used her magic to soundproof the room. "So
princess, what is troubling you? It must be something big." Night giggled.

"I have word from someone that will go unnamed for now, that you are hiding
something." Celestia stated.

"Is that so? Hehehe, tell me. What is it that I'm hiding?" Night asked.

Celestia stared at Night for a few moments but her stare just made him laugh.
"Firstly, the statute of Ceil. Second, I have good word that you aren't
acting like the Night they knew, tell me why." Celestia demanded.

Night just giggled then outright laughed, which only made Celestia angrier.
"Hahahahahaha...oh you misguided princess." Night laughed.

"What did you say?" Celestia asked opening her wings up.

"You can't trust just the word of one pony, now can you? For all you know,
he's working with Volt." Night smirks.

Celestia just stomped her hoof a little, then with an angry stare she said.
"Take out everything in your robe."

Night was caught off guard by what she asked, not looking her in the eye he
asked. "Why..? Are you worried I'm..."

"Everyone that's working with Volt has something they must keep at all
times. Do it, or I'll order my guards to take you in." Celestia demanded.

Night just laughed, as he smiled at Celestia he reached into his robe, and
took out a golden locket. "A locket of Volt's daughter, I took it after our
last battle."

Celestia lit her horn up and lifted the locket out of Night's hooves, as she
got it close enough she opens it and was shocked. In it was indeed an image
of a young mare, but what shocked Celestia was that she looked like Luna
when she was very young. "W-What is this..." She asked confused.

"Volt's daughter, he carries that with him everywhere, but after our last
battle I took it, surprised he didn't demand it back." Night explains.

"So...is this way you're acting different? Because my sister looks like his
daughter you're..."

"Raising her, so she won't fell under Volt's control when he notices the
likeness." Night explains.

"How do I know you're not doing that for him?" Celestia asked.

"Heheh, you can't...So, what will you do?" Night asked.

Celestia stayed silent for a few minutes, then as she turned away she said.
"Your free to keep teaching Luna, but you better give me the truth or I'll
strike you down right here......What are your plans for my sister?" Celestia
asked.

Night stared at her wondering why she is so protective, and then smiled at
her like he was happy she was protective. "I...want her to be ruler of
Equestria, she is of the night but...she could do so much more, I want her
to have a chance to fix her past mistakes by helping her people."

"That's a good and noble answer, but remember. If you ever hurt her or try
to get her to overthrow me, my spell will freeze you." Celestia replied then
finally walking off.

As she left Luna along with Pipsqueak walked back in, even though she didn't
hear a thing, she knew what must've happen. "What did my sister do?" She
asked.

"Ah nothing, just wanted to know what...I wanted to do with you." Night
replied.

"I'm sorry she's so protective, it can get annoying." Luna sigh.

"Hehehe, oh it's quite fine." Night said walking to and looking out of a
nearby window. "At least she cares, you should be grateful, but at any rate,
where is Shadow?" Night asked seeing that Shadow was gone.

"One of your guards took him to do something I think." Luna answers.

"Ah..." Night said looking back out of the window. "Hm...one of my guards
is...hahahah...oh this'll get interesting." Night said to himself.

Meanwhile at the royal garden Night's right hand guard had lead Shadow to
the statute of Ceil. "So this is what you wanted to show me? A statute?
There's tons of statutes in this garden, what makes this one so special?"
Shadow asked.

"Walk up and put your ear to its chest." The guard replied.

Shadow just stared at him like he was staring at some insane pony. "Why? Is
it alive?" Shadow asked.

The guard said nothing but just moved his head towards the statute a few
times, with a sigh Shadow walked up and placed his ear on its chest. At
first he heard nothing, but slowly as he listened he could hear a very faint
sound, a heartbeat. He almost jump backwards in reaction to realizing that
this statute had a heartbeat.

"That's...kind of cool." Shadow stated.

"I thought I since it...you must tell Celestia, if I'm right Ceil is inside
that statute." The guard replied.

Shadow nodded then took flight, after a few minutes after he left the guard
walked away. As he left a small filly walked out of the shadows, after she
was sure he was gone she walked to the statute of Ceil. "Another pony
incased in stone? Hm...my daddy might not be the only one that needs help."
The filly says looking around.

"Hm...after my daddy is free I'll help them, but first..." The filly then
lifts up into the air and looks around. "I must find the tunnel entrance, so
Volt can enter here." The filly says as she teleports away.

Shadow flew over to Clestia and very blankly told her that Ceil had a
heartbeat. "What?" Celestia was kind of shock at what shadow said.

"If you don't believe then go check it out for yourself, if I were you...I
would not even trust me, what I don't understand is that Night guards had to
show me when he should had showed you." With that being said Shadow simply
left and return to Luna and Pipsqueak, leaving Celestia with her thoughts on
what to do.
