*So sorry I've never made any major appearances around this club for a while now. I hope to make it up with this story, though. Enjoy.*

It was a great दिन in the Crystal Empire, and all the citizens that gleamed brightly there were having a good day. Yes, they too had their own errands to attend to, but they were still having a good time. द्वारा day, they would be filled with energy. द्वारा night, they would be fast asleep. But there would be one creepy night for their prince, Shining Armour, because something's going to get him.

One day, when he was making a trip around the castle, he accidentally bumped into a red mare. "Sorry about that," he said, "I was just taking a trip around the castle. Didn't see आप there." "No, no. It's okay," the mare said. She then left in a flash. Unknown of what may have occurred, Shining Armour kept walking along, pretending that nothing happened at all. Later on, he met up with his wife, Cadance. After a kiss, she said, "What have आप been up to?" He replied, "I was just taking a trip around the गढ़, महल when I bumped into a red mare. She didn't look like a crystal टट्टू and her horn was curved a little." "I saw the same mare आप saw," Cadance said, "but I'm not sure about her. I thought I saw something peculiar about her."

That night, when both husband and wife were both asleep, there was a thud outside of the room. Shining Armour awoke to find what it was, but thought a guard fell over and went back to sleep. Later, the bedroom door creaked open. A shadow entered, came close to the bed, and peered over to Shining Armour. The shadow then came up on the bed, accidentally awakening the stallion immediately. The shadow then left in a pinch, leaving the stallion clueless of what happened. Later on, the same thing happened, but this time, Shining woke Cadance up. "Honey," he said, "I think something's creeping up on me." "You're probably imagining things, sweetie," she said, getting a tap on her shoulder after she कहा that. Turning around, she saw... nothing. The two went back to sleep. Just after that, the shadow took form. The form looked exactly like the red mare both Cadance and Shining Armour saw earlier in the day. "Foolish mortals," the mare said, "nopony should get in the way of me, a succubus." She then tries to seduce SA without awakening him, but there was a sliver of sunlight coming up. The demon then escaped, only to return again.

That morning, Shining couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night. He started to talk to Cadance, saying, "Honey, about last night, do आप think there was an intruder around our room? I mean, the door was open, and when आप turned around when आप thought something touched you, nothing was there. I think we're being haunted द्वारा something." "We better ask somepony on what it may have been and who can help us. And we gotta be fast," Cadance said.
