(They took place just as we were starting, go ahead and do your abduction story!)

Sweeps picked up his helmet ready to be part of the guard. As he made his way to the door he felt a slight shudder as the temperature fell
"What the..." the lights flickered as the wind picked up. His ears twitched as if he could heard voices
"W-who’s there?" he asked looking around the room. It was still only a sound like the wind rushing through. Suddenly the lights went out the darkness seemed to move around him as if it was alive.
He tried to scream but the darkness blocked the sound coming from his mouth. His whole body rose up flicking his legs around trying to kick the darkness away.
The last thing he saw was large glowing eyes piercing from the darkness. As soon as it arrived it was gone, the lights in the room relit on their own, the room was now silent, still and empty. The only thing left behind to say that any pony was even there was Sweeps guard helmet lying on its side
The strange mist that had been reported before had taken another victim.

Luna flattened her ears against her skull. She shuddered, feeling the dark magic sweep through her. Thankfully, Nightmare stayed quiet.
"Nightmare, you there?" Luna whispered saftly.
'Yes, I'm here. I feel it too. No, I don't know who is behind it. I'd say Arebus, but he is sealed in Tartarus, no thanks to the Rainbow Guardian. Also he takes shadows, not actual ponies.' came the reply, 'I'm as lost as you are, Night Princess.'
"It struck again. Nightmare felt it and shared it with me. Nightmare is my uh, well I wouldn't call her a demon, ah screw it. Nightmare is a spirit of darkness that lives inside of me. Nightmare is the same darkness that caused my mother to end the Old World. When the Elements were used on me, they allowed Nightmare to stay on as a spirit. You could say she is my guide. Even Nightmare has no clue as to what is happening except that is is evil." Luna explained.

"In another time and place, I would have blamed Nightmare," Battlefield remarked. "At least we know Demonica is somehow invovled. I keep getting bad vibes the first time I met her."

Outside a local tavern a grizzled rough old warrior sits at the bar. Clad in heavy armour scratched, dented from many battles. The barkeep tried not to notice the large scare on his face, but like many ponies before him it became a conversation starter.
“So err…” he started “how’s the….cider?”
“The Cider is fine” he responded not even looking up. The strange pony had been nursing his drink for some time.
Two colts entered the bar both chatting, StormForge would often sit on his own if any pony was chatting nearby he would ignore them but these two colts had a very interesting conversation
“I know I heard what happened, some kinda mist that just appeared then gone” one said
“Taking some poor pony with it”
“They say it had a mind of its own, just no random ponies all of them taken for a reason”
StormForge’s ears twitched
“Do the Guards know who was taken?”
“I dunno who but it’s rumoured one of them was a princess”
“A Princess?” the first colt said louder
“Shhussh we’re not even supposed to be talking about this!”
Just as the other colt was about to respond, he looked up to see a towering armoured clad stallion in front of them. They saw the lightning bolts on his armour, his face scared also in the shape of a lightning bolt
“C-can we help you?” stuttered one of the colts
“You mentioned something about a princess disappearing”
“We didn’t say anything pal”
StormForge looked over at the second colt he didn’t need to say anything his look said it all
“W-w-we…”
“Spit it out I don’t got all day” he snorted
“We were told there would be a reward to anypony who rescues the princess, big bits”
“Where?”
“At the castle we were…”
“You two colts run along home this isn’t for you”
“HEY buddy you can’t tell us what to-“
“I am not your buddy, a mission like this is far too great a risk, those who are only in it for the bits are likely to die in the process”
“This is our take man we can-“
The colt was suddenly interrupted by a sudden electrical whip, they looked up to see the large stallion lifting up his wing
“Be gone” he snorted
As the two colts bolted from the tavern StormForge looked up to the direction of the castle, opening hi s wings “It’s time for redemption……and revenge” he said with narrow eyes as he took off to the castle.

"Batlefield, we need to get to the bottom of this... our wives are in danger!" Tornado snorted, stamping his hoof. After a few seconds, he calmed down. "Sorry, battlefield, I- I'm just worried, is all..."

[sunstar]

"Nightmare says we need to be calm. She'll alert me if there is any more taken." Luna said, "We will get them back. I've alerted my sister, Celestia. She has put her student to work on trying to find out what happened. Worst case senario, I summon Celestia who will summon the Elements of Harmony and unleash Perfect Harmony. Celestia is ready to lay down her life if she must to protect Equestria."

[battlefield]

"We'll find them, old friend," Battlefield promised Tornado. He turned to his niece. "I rather have no one lay down their lives just yet."

[sunstar]

"I pray it doesn't come to Perfect Harmony." Luna replied.

[battlefield]

"Yeah, I don't think we need to deal with that again," Battlefield agreed with Luna. "Tell me, my dear niece, what did you think of Demonica when you first met her?"

[sunstar]

"Demonica was sweet and kind. We had a strong friendship. Demonica swore her life to me. She doesn't have a dark bone in her body. It was Fluttershy who broght Demonica to me. Demonica was a malnorished starving filly that Fluttershy couldn't figure out how to help. I realized what she was and took her in. She grew quickly and rose through the ranks of my Night Guard quickly. Demonica is half Changling half dark Pegasus. She can shapeshift and she feeds on love. She was my maid of honor at my wedding to Orion Pax. The Demonica I know abhors evil. She can't be doing this of her own free will." Luna teared up, "I trusted her with my life and this is the thanks I get?"

[battlefield]

Battlefield hugged his niece and held her. "It's going to be okay," he promised. "If Demonica is being controlled, we'll save her and your mother. I swear."

[Storm Runner]

(OOC: Sorry it's been so long, the WiFi at the hotel isn't as good as they said. It's been more or less down for about a week now D: )

Stormbolt and Moonfall listened as theyled the group, with it's two newcomers, into the war room, which in the many times of peace was used to plan events for the kingdom. It had been in this room that the wedding was planned. Stormbolt nodded at Moonfall to begin speaking when ready. "At least we now have knowledge of the stranger pegasus in the cloud, now I'll tell you about the unicorn. He's called Wraith, and unlike Demonica, Wraith has never been kind or sweet. He's filled with malice, and I'd bet anything that he's the instigator of this attack. He's targeted Princess Stargazer as a way to get back at me, for killing his mother, Stormbolt for killing his father, and Stargazer herself because he's always seen her as his ticket to the throne. There's an added danger and urgency to find them as well - Stargazer is pregnant with my foal, and if Wraith finds out then I dread to think what he'll do."

[battlefield]

"So Stargazer was pregneant," Battlefield said in an calm, unsettling voice. "In that case, I'll bring you Wratih's head myself. Do you have any idea where he may be holed up?"

[firehooves]

"Yes, we must stop wraith before he causes any further harm." Tornado Snorted. "For the sake of all of our spouses, and for your unborn foal, as well!"
