[Open to Luna, Tornado, and anyone else who needs a thread]
"I have been sent to inform you that Kailani Hoofspen, the Green Champion, has fallen to Eclipse."
The guard's words ran on a loop through Luna's mind and she couldn't breathe in the tower. She left almost as soon as the guard had - the pony with the broken nose had been healed and Fluttershy could handle Zecora on her own. Luna needed to get out and figure out what to do about Kail's death.
She still didn't get how the healer could have been killed. She watched Kail fight Discord and never had she fallen to him. What power could her dark sister possess that could kill the Green Champion? The thought sent a shiver down her spine.
Luna glanced at the sky as she neared the forest. The Guardian Stars were still hidden behind the eclipse. Luna stamped her hoof and tried to will the moon to move, but whatever enchantment Eclipse had used Luna couldn't break.

A blue stallion bumbled out of the under brush looking confused and a little dizzy, "Sunbust! Icey...come guys this isn't funny where are you?" He whipped his head around frantic but his brothers were no where in sight and the landscape was unfamiliar. Was this the valley? where were the others, the castle, the orchards, the mountains...
Tornado huffed through his muzzle, "If this is another trick Lighting you're gonna get it!" he stomped a hoof and blew a small bush away with a blast of wind. The small bush when flying in a blast of leaves and brambles. Tornado growled and huffed again breaking into a run. If only he could get out of the woods maybe he could find his way back, then after that he could tell Icy about the strange black mist and warn others about it.

A disturbance in the forest pulled Luna's thoughts from her own despair. There was a stallion's voice somewhere nearby, and a sound like a tornado blasting through the trees. For a moment the fear of Eclipse grasped Luna, but it sounded like a lost pony, not an evil one.
"Hello?" Luna called into the forest. "Do you require help?"

Tornado stopped when he herd the voice, was that a mare?
"Hello?" he asked worriedly and headed for the voice, his ears folded back Tornado looked out from the forest cover see a young dark colored unicorn ...with wings. But there were no winged unicorns they only existed in stories ...didn't they?
Tornado pawed at the ground nervously, "um I think I'm lost..." he addressed the mare hoping she could help.

Whoever was out there had heard her, for he stopped running about and called hello back. As he stepped from the trees she saw a sky blue body and white mane, and clear aggravation in his posture. Whoever he was, he didn't seem to recognize her as the Princess of Night, which would have normally irked her but today brought only relief. The fewer ponies looking at Luna like she was becoming Night Mare Moon again, the better.
"Lost, you say? You are in the Everfree Forest, just outside of Whinnyopolis." She stood a little taller, trying to sound regal rather than emotionally lost herself. "We suggest you go home. The forest is off-limits at the moment, due to accounts of strange creatures within."

Tornado's ear flicked back and twitched, the dark blue mare's words didn't add up " Ever-Free? Whinee-apolos? I've never herd of those places."
The stallion looked over his shoulder , but there were no mountains in sight. He looked up at the sky, but didn't recognize most of the stars. "Even the moon dosen't look the same..." Tornado looked back at the dark colored mare. She had a regal air about her like maybe she was royal or something, could it be possible she knew Majesty? She was a unicorn so maybe but were those wings at her sides too?
"Um, where are the mountains I...um. I walked through this black thing in the Icy mountains and... ended up in the woods." Tornado still pawed at the ground nervous.

He had never heard of Whinnyopolis? Or the Everfree Forest? Yet here he was in both. Luna wondered if he might be one of the ponies Kail had told her about. One of the ponies from the past.
"You cannot see the mountains for the trees. Come." Luna motioned for him to leave the cover of the woods and step into the open field with her. As he spoke about the black thing he stepped through that confirmed it - he was one of the Rift ponies, like Kailani herself.
Luna swallowed the lump in her throat at the thought of Kail and tried to calm the stallion.
"We are the Princess Luna, co-ruler of Equestria, where you have found yourself. Please, let us help you. You are no longer where you were, and it will be some time before you are able to return."

A princess?!
So she was a Royal. Well that explained a few things, she knew the place and she knew what was going on so it only made sense to fallow her.
Tornado fell in behind Luna, "a while before I get back hu? but I can get back right I need to get back...I'm not the most important weather guardian but my brother's still need me." he could only hope weather still worked the same way here or Tornado might not find him self that useful.

"If you have arrived here then you are needed here more than you are needed at home." She didn't know how to explain it further without truly upsetting him, and for now she needed him to trust her. She knew many of the Rift ponies would follow her dark sister instead of the Princesses, and they couldn't afford to lose many to that side.
"When you are no longer needed here you will return home, We are sure."
Luna began to walk back towards the tower, hoping the stallion would follow.

"needed?" Tornado asked confused, "Why would anyone need me? I'm not terribly smart and I'm not a warrior."
He fallowed after the dark colored mare, "What's going on that I might be needed?" was the world at war? was it falling apart? why him?
I can only hope she has some answers Tornado was in a situation he couldn't understand the princess was his only hope.

How to respond without sounding either crazy or scaring him completely? The prospect of Eclipse was nerve-wracking enough before Kail's death, even knowing they would win. Now that the healer was dead Luna didn't know what would happen.
"The world has fallen under a dark shadow," Luna said as she peered up at the moon she still couldn't move. "If you are here rather than home then some magic has brought you here to help us rid Equestria of the darkness."
She picked up her pace. "For now we will find you lodgings in the tower. We do not know what happens next, or how long we shall wait to find out."

"Darkeness?" Tornado looked confused, what was she talking about. The Valley was under constant attack from all sorts of outside forces what could these ponies be facing that could possibly be worse then that?
"Well if you say so Princess." the blue Stallion still wasn't sure about all this " I'll do what I can but really I think the magic that brought me here made a mistake the youngest lest experienced weather guardian...not my first choice for help." Tornado shrugged didn't make much sense to him.
The mare mentioned a room in tower and just waiting to find out what would happen next. Ugh waiting..."Yhea I guess a place to stay would be good."

Luna stopped and looked at him as he mentioned being the youngest guardian. "You may be surprised how much the youngest pony can change the world."
She shook her head as memories of her time as Night Mare Moon crowded her thoughts, then continued on towards the tower.
[Want to switch to the Tower now?]

[Forgive me, but when does this take place? It's not possible to have them meet up with Fennec and Lily? (We do have to pay attention to Luna's timeline!)]

[This is taking place at the same time as Finding a Friend and Two Bits for Postage. Just after Looking for Fluttershy, where Luna learned about Kail's death.]
