*Nightmare Moon’s incoherent screaming over other matters echoes through the forest.*
A dragon???????? Yes……..

GRAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! YOU CANNOT HOLD US FOREVER!!!!!!!! WE WILL BREAK FREE AND WE WILL FIND YOU WHERE YOU SLEEP AND YOUR SUFFERING SHALL BE LEGEND!!!!!!!!
When We were together, didn’t We have a plan for this? I don’t remember, Our memory is still pretty fragmented.
We really should have thought of searching the intensive care wards for a suitable host on Our own. In any case, the host looks fine. We shall arrange to have her transferred to a private clinic and the records lost. It seems that We have been a little… overzealous in our return, and would hate to see Our new puppet damaged.
*Nothing but some tough terrain impedes him. In fact, he is almost guided to the exact spot where the little filly is trapped, with her head barely above water, alone in the dark.*
Firstly, We are already banished by the most ancient and powerful magic in all Equestria. We doubt you could do a more terrible thing to Us than separate Us from our beloved Luna.
Secondly, such magic always has a cost. Are you really willing to pay it for mere vengeance?
We won’t do anything further to said filly, We promise! We even agree not to do anything to impede the pony currently running to her aid. Everything we’ve done is for her own good anyway, the night is so much more beautiful than the day.
An… earth pony… I suppose, if We had to, it would be acceptable, temporarily at least. Enacting Our magic will be difficult without a horn, but We suppose We could manage.
Don’t worry, beloved Luna. We have no intention of killing the poor foal. We’re just going to ensure she’ll have dreams that will force her to stay awake for our night for the rest of her life!
