COME.

It reverberates around your skull. Not a word, a fact. A summons from the Dragon Queen, enforced by divine will. It pulls at you like gravity. You travel up the path to her lair. Where once spooks and specters would test you, now only stands a thousand murders of crows peering down at you from the scraggly dead trees lining the path. Into her lair. As before, it is illuminated by the light emitted from the the priceless relics, however, where before the glow was warm and steady the light now twisted and wreathed. Of course this had less to do with the light itself than the fact that the hoard-lake itself twisted and wreathed as if caught in some invisible storm.

Sitting in the eye of that storm was the dragon queen’s diamond island, upon which sat perched the Dragon Queen herself. As before, she was in the shape of an exquisite statue of a dragon carved out of pink diamond, though unlike last time, you can see roaring flames coursing through her body, seemingly barely kept from burning all the world to ash by her will.

As you enter she turns the full force of her attention upon you.

Tell me. Does Luna Hold The Throne.

Anduriel was the first to step out of his lair and into that of his mother, but thankfully he had been reorganizing his trophy case at that moment.

"Oh, mother. Well, good timing, I was just planning on coming to visit." He put down a large rune-covered gold tablet in front of her. "A gift. Now, you were asking about Luna? Yes, she is still on the throne, she's just going through a lot of stress. I'll be sure to notify you as soon as possible if that changes."

Tahk spares only a glance at the tablet. From just that glance it bursts into pink flame, melting into a puddle of golden liquid, that too continues to burn until the liquid completely boils away into golden steam. She turns her attention back to Anduriel.

Do Not Take That Tone With Me Dragonet.

A wave of gold and gems washes out of her hoard lake and surrounds Anduriel on all sides.

For Her “Stress,” As You Put It, Half The World Freezes, While Half Burns.

The wave blocks the entrance to her lair. Anduriel’s only way out of the cave is sealed by a solid gold wall.

Do You Deny This?

By her divine will, any attempt to teleport out would result in Anduriel merely returning to the same spot. The only way he’d be able to leave is when Tahk SAYS he can leave.

Nocturne

Ezreal dragged himself up the mountain, trying to move quickly but unable to due to the guilt weighing him down.

He should be at Luna's side, trying to calm her and work things out. Instead, he was out here, climbing this mountain to speak with Ishtakhriot. He eventually reached the cave mouth, finding it blocked with a solid wall of gold. Sighing, he tapped on it, trying to alert the Dragon Queen to his presence, however much he was loathe to do so.

Anduriel remained calm as Takh's mental assault continued, nodding at her question and only responding once she was done.

"I've talked to her, and while things are going badly it's still not as bad as a thousand years ago. I figure that the best and fastest way to get things back to normal is to give her a bit of time to herself. As long as everyone stays relatively calm, this should blow over soon enough. I and a few others have already begun to get global treaties in place to make sure everyone stays fed and whatnot. All of this has happened before, and during my millenium off I made several contingency plans for in case it ever happened again." He pulled several papers out of his bag and held them out to Takh.

"A copy for you, my Mother. I've already given copies to influential ponies in the Equestrian government, and other governments will be receiving copies by noon tomorrow." He stood at attention, trying not to draw Takh's ire.

Without even looking at the papers they burst into flames hot enough to burn even a dragon and are quickly consumed.

Tell me.

Her voice is quiet. It is a bare whisper on the wind, but all the shaper and clearer for it, like a knife’s blade.

You speak of

“plans”

and

“treaties”

Tentacles made up of ancient gold coins and priceless gems burst out of the golden wall, wrap around Ezreal and haul him forward, through the wall of treasure, plopping him next to Anduriel.

But do you have any idea of just what damage this endless night is causing? What of you, pinocchio, are you so preoccupied by meaningless words and worthless power grabs that you fail to see your castle burning around you like your sire?

"Ishtakhriot, this is all my fault." Ezreal said, his voice laden with guilty resignation.

"I was supposed to stay at her side, but I allowed myself to be distracted and took another to my bed when the Moon Princess needed me. If there is anyone to blame, it is I."

Anduriel simply shrugged. "I know exactly how much damage is being caused. What I don't know is what you want me to do about it. I was there a thousand years ago. I know what could happen if we angered her, and I know that nothing short of a cosmic force will really stop her if we do. I'd rather not put her into low orbit for another millenium, so I'm trying to avoid her wrath while minimizing the damage done to everyone else."

Ezreal’s confession seems to pacify Tahk somewhat.

”Hmph, do not overestimate yourself pinocchio. We have lived over a thousand lifetimes and will live over a thousand more. In the span of our existence, actions of one such as yourself are ultimately meaningless, as my cousin Luna should know. No, I sense another’s hand in these events....” She leans back and for the first time the two dragons can see her injured side. Where before it was just a mass of cracks it was now a shifting, flowing, infection of pitch black tentacles, Nightmare is the one pulling the strings behind these events, even if it has not yet consumed my cousin’s mind completely.”

She turns her gaze back on Anduriel.

”If you knew half of what you think you know, Dragonet, you would not be nearly so blase about these events. For what you are to do, that is for you to decide. You mortals have always been inventive, it is both your blessing and your curse. You are right about one thing, to force my cousin to relent via main force would take the power of one of the pillars of reality itself, a power I WILL use if I must.”

She raises a claw over the hoard lake and a lantern made of twisted, black, stygian iron shoots out from the depths of the lake to her claw. Raising it her lips, she blows a gentle whisp of pink flame into the heart of the lantern before floating it over to the two dragons.

KNOW THIS.

SHOULD THE WHEELS OF THE HEAVENS NOT BE RESTORED TO THEIR PROPER ORDER BY TIME THIS FLAME DIES.

THE GATES OF DEATH WILL BE THROWN OPEN.

THE DEAD WILL RISE AND MARCH ON EQUESTRIA

THE FOUNDATION OF THE HOUSE OF THE SETTING MOON WILL BE BROKEN AND SCATTERED TO THE FOUR WINDS.

ALL WILL RETURN TO NOTHING AND IN NOTHING BALANCE SHALL BE RESTORED.

Ezreal took the lamp.

"So be it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have duties to attend to." he said, turning to leave.
