Have you ever seen your parents die? Like die right in front of you. If so then you know the feeling. The feeling you get when the people who loved and cared for you your entire life just dies right in front of you and there is absolutely nothing you can do to change it.
Nothing you can do to stop their agonizing slow fall, the shock, of their blood splattering on you, to stop their eyes from endlessly staring at you, the stare that will never end, stare that bores down into your very soul.
If you haven’t seen this you are lucky because this feeling is more painful than anything. It’s worse than being beaten to near death. It’s worse than knowing you going to die at least then you could just end your pain. This pain is unimaginable.
This pain always finds a way to come back. It comes during every day, hour, and every second of your life. No matter what you do you can’t just bury that pain, a pain that a little seven year old should never feel.
____________________________________________________________________
I still remember my parents dropped me off at the daycare that was only down the street from the peace meeting that was being held today in the royal city of Canterlot. The place had been seriously overcrowded. There was hardly any room for the hundreds of kids inside the tiny little room. The room was filled with baby humans, dragons, and griffons.
I wasn’t told until I was older that it was an experiment to help build the bond between the three races. Sadly for the parents it didn’t work. Mainly because one of the dragons thought someone took its gems when it ate them a couple minutes ago. The baby dragon was too stubborn to listen to anyone and started to blow small puffs a black smoke.
The smoke then annoyed a griffon with major anger issues. She tried to punch the dragon but luckily he was able to duck. Unluckily it hit a human kid that also had major anger issues. So this led to a bunch of misses and accidently hits and turning two kids fighting into twenty kids fighting. Making our situation turn from a dumb whiny little dragon to a situation where if one kid got beat up too much it could lead into a fight between their parents.
Each was a highly respected political leader. Meaning that this could easily ruin the peace meeting and at the very least make it more tense in the already tense gathering.
The relationships between the races have been at the very least pretty crappy. The only reason why the three hadn’t fought yet was because neither side wanting to see the other, making the three at the very least distant. There was a point in time where each thought the others didn’t even exist.
My parents were the advisors of the co-rulers, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, The Goddesses of the Sun and Moon. My parents had been working under them before I was even born. They also had the tendency to talk about their jobs in front of me. If it wasn’t for them then I probably wouldn’t able to tell about most of the things I just did. They also didn’t mind me sitting with them during work.
So once I saw the fight break loose and the people working there trying to stop all of the kids I made my way out of the day care. The only reason I hadn’t done it sooner was that I always found their job to be really boring. After seeing the major stupidity that managed to start the fight I decided that it was better to be bored.
It was easy to make my way of the room and into outside. It was scheduled to be a bright sunny day but the sky was full of dark clouds and lightning. Each crack of lightning was enough to shake the ground. The weather had forced many of the town people indoors making me the only person that were outside.
I hadn’t brought a coat so the suit I had been wearing had gotten soaking wet. I tried to avoid the giant puddles that had been scattered against the road but I still managed to step in the puddles making my shoes wet and heavy. Even with my wet shoes and suit I moved towards the throne room of the princesses.
On any other day the castle would have been awe inspiring with the fifty foot tall towers and the magnificent domes that had been put on top. This day was different. The towers had managed to give off a dark and ominous feel to the castle.
The winds hollowing in my ears as if were trying to tell me to turn back and run from the castle. It was trying to stop me from seeing the sight that I was going to see. It was desperately trying to stop me from going inside the throne room. It was begging me to just to turn back and leave to save me from the burden that lay past those doors. The wind was the only thing that wanted to grant me mercy that day.
Even with the wind’s protest I pressed towards the castle.
Inside the room grew into the size of an entire football field. The ceiling must have been about thirty feet tall. The size of the room still wasn’t enough to fit the number humans and griffons that represented different cities or countries from the three races.
Many of the griffons and the humans with the ability to fly had taken to sky for more room. Strangely there hadn’t been that a single dragon inside the crowd.
Almost everyone in the room had been arguing about some type of government ranging from borders to trade. My parents had been the few that hadn’t been arguing. They were with the princesses and the royalty from the three races.
The dragon king, Jackal, had been standing in front of the thrones of two Goddesses. The fact he was alone meant that he couldn’t bring his many queens. The griffon king and queen, Hector and Isabel, were standing next to him.
I could see they were talking and from the looks of it they could’ve been the closest of friends. Whatever one said it would cause the rest to burst into a fit of laughter. The entire group was laughing and smiling with the expectation of a few.
My mom and the princesses were the only ones not smiling. They just stood next to the princesses’ throne, their ears and eyes catching everything that the kings and queen said and did.
My mom was standing next to the Luna’s throne. She had her falchion strapped to her hip and her hand was firmly placed on its hilt. Her helmet had covered her short black hair with a hole for her green horn. The golden armor glistening with the breastplate embedded with two blades crisscrossing each other, representing her birthmark. She was the princess Luna’s advisor.
The lunar princess was sitting on her throne was glaring at the griffon king and queen, her eyes which almost completely fading to white. While her sister just sat on her throne.
My dad was about the polar opposite of them. He was the only one laughing and smiling like everyone else. Unlike my mom, my dad didn’t carry a weapon. He only sat in chair that was right beside Celestia’s throne with his netbook in hand.
It took me about five minutes to reach the throne. This immediately made my parents bring their full attention to me.
“Blade Shield! Why are you soaking wet?” my mom asked.
“I walked through the rain.”
“Rain?” my mother looked puzzled.
“Yeah it’s been raining for a while now. You really need to fire the weather guy.”
“You really need to bring a coat like I told to.” my dad told me. I stuck my tongue out at him in response.
“Celestia who is this child, Shouldn’t he be with the others?” said Jackal. I turned to face him, only to be met with his eyes.
They seemed to examine every inch of me. Trying to find every weakness I had and what was the easiest way to bring me down.
“Oh. I’m very sorry to intrude my majesties but I wanted to separate myself from the fight between a human child and a small griffon.” I bowed down to each person including my parents.
“Hmm... you speak well for someone your size.”
“Thank you your majesty.” I bowed to him.
“It wasn’t a compliment.”
“Oh...um...” I was thinking of a lot of ways to react like tell him to go die or to hell but I chose the one that wouldn’t have my parents shove a bar of soap down my throat. So I said nothing.
“Will this boy be staying with us?” asked the impatient griffon king.
“Why should this child be even allowed in here? By the looks of it he still sucks on his thumb.” this coming from the griffon queen.
“I say let him stay. He probably won’t understand anyways.” said Hector.
This rubbed me the wrong way, mainly because whenever someone saw me they instantly thought I was some stupid little kid. The stereotype didn’t seem to vanish no matter what I did to kill it. But before I had a chance to respond he turned to the crowd that was behind him.
“Brothers and sisters!!! It is time!!!” after he said those words everything went to hell. Every single griffon started attacking in an effort to kill any human within their reach. I could only stand in watch as the humans were brutally killed.
The unicorns having their horns snapped of and used as knives for griffons, for the pegasi it much worse. They had their wings yanked out of their backs. Some of the regular humans tried to fend off the griffons but had easily beaten and/or killed.
I could see every gruesome detail, the blood shooting out of a pegasi when his wings were ripped off. As a unicorn screamed as its horn was torn off its head to be mercifully killed by it. I could hear the crying of the few that hadn’t been fighting for their lives.
At the time I wasn’t sure whether to run or just crap myself. Seeing people being killed in a videogame is so much different than someone dying in real life. It’s the realization that this is real not a game and that you can die and you can’t come back. Just seeing someone lying there dead is just enough for you throw up, at least I did.
“Celestia you should have given the crystals like I asked but now everyone in here will die.” the griffon king said.
The princesses were too shocked to even move. That they were just as shocked that this happened as I was. I found out later that they were.
My parents were the only ones who could react to the scene. Mom drew her sword and ran to cut the king’s head off but was tackled over by the griffon queen. Almost immediately about ten other griffons dog piled on top off them. It wasn’t a few seconds later did the pile on top of her exploded, throwing the griffons into the walls of the giant room.
I wasn’t able to see more when suddenly couple of griffons thought it would be a great idea to kill me. Sadly for them I was wrong and my dad did have weapon. His pistol easily killed my attackers with a couple of shots through their giant eyes, splattering their brains across the floor.
“Blade get behind me.” my dad yelled while pulling out another pistol. I hurried to his side while my mom was fighting the griffon king.
“Dad what’s going on?!” I asked him.
“Do you remember the Crystal Empire, Blade?”
“Yes…Why?”
“Well the griffons wanted the crystals and we said no.” my dad said while shooting down another wave of griffons.
“Why do they want it so badly?”
“The crystals are magic amplifiers and are enough to make someone with no magic to someone with enough magic to cast a magic blast. We knew that the griffons would use the crystals against us so we said no and then he decided to kill everyone in the room.” he told me while aiming at king Hector’s head but dropped it after seeing the intense from my mom’s fight with Hector.
The two were moving too fast for my dad to take the risk of taking the shot. There was also the fact that mom would’ve taken his head off for taking her kill.
Luckily for my mom her special talent was sword fighting. My mom was so good that the head of the royal guard, Shining Armor, couldn’t beat her. Hector somehow managed to evade most of her attacks but still was wounded. His face had a couple of cuts that was gushing with blood and his front legs weren’t much better. My mom was going to kill him.
Then the rest of the griffons attacked. My dad downed as many as he could but he only managed to kill ten to twenty from of the hundreds of griffons. Even with the princesses’ help, who both broke out of their shock, we were over run. I was knocked out by the giant mass of the griffons driving me to the ground.
_____________________________________________________________________
I woke to the laughter of the griffon king and queen. My parents and I had our hands tied behind us and the princesses’ lay on the floor in front of us. Their horns had been cut off and they their hands, feet, and wings were tied.
“Celestia you should have given those crystals. A lot of people would have lived if you had but now they are dead. Like these three will be if you don’t cough up a crystal.” threaten Hector.
“Celestia don’t you dare!” my mom commanded.
Isabella walked up to her with my mom’s sword in her hand. She waved the blade in the air. Then she swung at my mom’s throat and stopped only an inch away from her neck, gently pushing the blade against mom’s skin causing it to blade slightly.
My mom spat on her face.
“Honey please let me kill her now,” she sneered.
“Just wait a little bit. So what the “Alicorn Princesses” going to do now? Their precious Twilight Sparkle is in Ponyville and the captain of the royal guard is on his honeymoon. So I have to ask you something are you going to give us the crystals. If you don’t these three are dead.” said while pointing to us.
I couldn’t help but think, “This is how I’m going to die. I’m going to get killed by a griffon. Why couldn’t I just have stayed in the daycare? I would’ve lived. I would’ve been spared.”
“Never.” said Luna staring down Hector. Hector smiled.
“Well then your choice and your advisor. Izzy, you can kill her now.”
“Finally!” she said eagerly.
Then with one swing my mom’s head was cut clean off. Her blood was splattering out of her neck and onto my face. I could just sit there and watch as her head rolled across the floor. I tried to fight it but I couldn’t hold back the tears. I placed my head on top of my mom’s lifeless body.
“Look at what you did Luna. You just stole that kid’s mother.” he mocked. The griffon king turned to Celestia. “Do you also want to take his father away from him too?”
“Blade, you know that your mother and I love you, right?”
“Yeah,”
“Good. Whatever happens today I just want you to stay strong okay. You’ll always be my little soldier. So stay str...”
I never got to hear what he was going to say because a bullet interrupted him.
“Okay, that was just annoying. Sorry, Izzy, I had to kill him.” Hector said while he dropped the gun.
Dad’s body went limp and fell onto the floor. He landed on his back so I could see his eyes, the eyes that had been always filled with love. Now, they were staring at me a look that reminded me every time he would play and loved me. The look on how I failed him, I couldn’t save him.
I turned to my mom’s head which lay at my knees. Her short hair managed to fall on top of her face.
“How could I fail them like this? Why wasn’t I strong enough? If I was stronger I could have saved them but I couldn’t because I was too weak. I let fear overcome me.”
The laughter of the king and queen made something snap inside of me. “How dare them! How are they laughing like that after they killed my parents!”
I couldn’t just let them laugh at this. I wasn’t going to let them act like this was some kind of great victory. I was going to make them look back on this day with regret. Each time they would remember this day they would be reminded of me and what I did.
“Hey! You forgot one!” I yelled.
“Oh! A kid that wants to die, Isn’t that just cute Hector.” said Isabella.
“It’s just precious, Izzy.” replied Hector.
“So how do you want to kill him?” asked the queen.
“Mother like son.” said Hector.
“You moron it’s father like son but I shouldn’t expect of dumb griffon to know that.” I retorted.
“If I’m a stupid griffon then how did I beat you? Huh, human what do you have say to that?” the king asked.
“You “really” think this took brains to think up this plan? The only reason why you beat us because we thought you were going to have enough courage to at least say they’re going to attack but you guys aren’t are you? You guys are a bunch of cowards and that would make you two king and queen coward.”
“Shut up!” Izzy yelled. She brought down my mom’s sword in her claw like hand.
I rolled out of the way, feeling the blade whoosh behind my back. I took a quick glance into the crowd and saw how they cheered. How they knew I was going to die. None of them were going to stop this fight.
Izzy charged at me with the sword still in hand, or claw. She swung the sword rapidly. Each swing cut off more and more of my suit.
“Boy, you are going to use magic?” a voice told me. Even though I hadn’t known him for that long I knew it was the dragon king.
I hadn’t realized my own horn had been untouched. I assumed that the griffons also cut it off. They made a big mistake by not cutting it. Now, I could be on the offensive instead of the defensive.
I focused my attention on my mom’s sword, wrapping my magic around the blade. The blade had been quickly enveloped by my magic allowing me to rip it from the queen’s claw. I brought the sword to me as fast as I could and used it to cut off the rope.
I was surprised by its light weight because of how heavy it looked but must have weighed in between three to seven pounds. The blade was as tall as me so it was about over three feet long. The blade was long and narrow but at the tip was curved to make a sharp point. I put the blade inside my left hand.
“Give that back!” demanded the queen as she flew at me. Her claws scraping the ground as she made her way over to me leaving her face wide open.
“You going to die today, kid!” she said as sliced at my head but I was quick enough to duck.
“No, you are.” I whispered as I plunged the sharp end of the sword into her eye. I could feel the tip pass through the soft brain and the snapping of her skull. The only thing that stopped it was when the top of the hilt went past the eye socket. The tip of the blade was sticking out of the other side of her head.
I slowly pulled the blade out of her head. Her body fell to the floor like a brick. I turned to the crowd.
The room became a ghost town. Griffons who had been cheering suddenly stopped. Everyone couldn’t help but stare at me. It was as if I had moved the sun and moon by myself. The king glared at me probably angry that I killed his wife.
“Kill him!” he commanded. The griffons were all too awestruck to respond.
“I said kill him!” he repeated in a louder voice. This managed to break the rest of the griffons’ shock but they didn’t move a muscle.
“What are you doing?! Kill him!” he screamed. He stared at them with his anger slowly turning into fear.
“This is so pathetic.” The voice came from the entrance of the room. The voice belonged to tall and lean man with short brown hair. He wore a nice black suit and a pair of black designer dress shoes, his white horn sticking out of his head. He walked into the room like this was a walk in the park.
“Do you really not know why they won’t kill the boy? It’s because they respect him more than they do you! What king orders an entire army to kill a child? This boy has just killed your wife and like the coward you are you want them to kill him.” he said mockingly as the griffons parted while he slowly made his way to the throne.
“You should learn who you're talking to.” Hector replied.
“No, you should.”
“So who are you then?”
“I’m the royal advisor of Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor, Shimmering Emerald.”
“Well then so you could give me what I want?”
“Depends,”
“I want your crystals.”
“Oh. You're in luck I have one right now.” he said as he dug into his pocket.
“What the hell are you doing? Didn’t you see all the bodies?” I asked him.
“Yes.” he answered.
“Then why are you giving him a crystal?” I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This guy was just going to give them a crystal even after seeing what they did to us? I couldn’t let him do this! We fought too hard to keep the crystal safe and no one was going to stop that!
I grabbed his arm making him pause.
“If you give them the crystals then you’ll be making the sacrifices of all these people go to waste. They would have died for NOTHING!” I said as my voice rose to a yell.
Then he turned to me and got on his knees. The advisor placed his hand atop my head and started to ruffle my hair. “All I’m doing is giving him an itsy-bitsy crystal.” he said in a carefree tone, even with that though his eyes told a completely different story.
They seemed to be daring me to try that again and see what happened. His eyes were full of strength and power. It’s coldness sinking into my skin. They alone managed to force me into a quiet submission.
After he knew that I wasn’t going to try again he got up and pulled the crystal out of his pocket.
“Here you go.”
He flicked the crystal like a coin. It was the size of a small piece of glass and as smooth as one to but its surface was pitch black.
The king greedily snatched it out of the air with a giant grin slowly forming. In his joy he laughed. He held the crystal in front of face.
“With this I will rul...”
The crystal started spreading across Hector’s fingers. Trying to stop the process he dropped the crystal but even without it the crystallization continued. It spread from fingers to his elbow then proceeding with his entire arm. It didn’t stop until the king was completely encased in a giant black crystal.
The griffons gasped in horror as they stared at the giant crystal that used to be their king and looked as if they were going to turn and run. Emerald only stood there completely unfazed. The dragon king examined it with his eyes as they darted from part of the crystal to another. The princesses, who stayed silent during this whole ordeal, dropped their gaze from it. Their mouths closed tight and looked like they were on the verge of tears.
It was obvious that Emerald knew that this was going to happen but the question was how he did. I was about to ask him when a griffon advanced, her smug smile growing bigger and bigger.
“Good show but...” she let the sentence hang for a moment. “What about us?
“Now you all leave.” Emerald said.
This caused to start laughing. “You, really, think, you, can, beat us?” she said in between laughs.
“Yes.”
“Good luck with that. There no way you could beat us even if you did then you have to deal with the changelings. They still want you guys.”
“Do you think it matters?” his tone becoming serious as he began to stare her down. She started to stare back at him. Not five seconds after the stare down began the griffon’s smug face quickly turn to one of horror. It was as if his presence alone frightened her. Being unable to deal with the fear she ran out of the room screaming, the others following her lead.
Once every single griffon left the room the adrenaline in me vanished, allowing me to feel the deep gashes on chest.
Then, I blacked out
Author's Note
Since this my first story in just want anyone who likes or dislikes to tell me why in the comments.
The boy was out like a light. It wasn’t surprising because he had just killed the general of the griffon army. A small pool of blood started to pour from under his body.
“This isn’t good.” I thought to myself.
After, picking up the boy with my magic I flipped him and laid him on the floor again. He hadn’t lost that much blood and none of the cuts were that deep so he would survive.
“Looks like everything here is about settled and the changelings probably won’t be attacking in this weather.”. I told the princesses while I was undoing their restraints with my magic.
Not a second later a changeling burst into the room head first. His entrance destroyed some of the stain glass windows of Equestria’s victories and also left a crater in the floor. Its impact caused a dust cloud to cover it, obscuring my view of it.
I tensed and waited for the creature to come at us snarling and hissing at us. I could hear the hum of the two princesses’ magic being focused through their horns. After I stole a quick glance at the dragon king it was made it obvious that he didn’t care.
His face had boredom written all over it. It was as if the changeling was hadn’t just come crashing through the window.
The sudden gasp from Celestia tore my attention from the dragon and back to the changeling. The creature was laying motionless on the floor smoking like the smog of a dying fireplace. Some of the creature’s skin was completely burned off only to reveal the bone underneath. Its horn was snapped and the bug wings on its back was almost entirely singed off.
I let myself relax. The bug monster had been killed by the storm but we couldn’t enjoy it because there were probably a whole army of changelings inside the clouds. I couldn’t help but feel bad for the poor pegasus that had to do the sky today. I wished they had just killed him and didn’t drain him of all his emotions and turned him or her into a mindless slave.
The same thing would happen to the rest of us if we didn’t stop these imations of an alicorn.
“We should evacuate the city if we want to make sure everyone is safe.” I suggested. It was as if it was on cue the ground shook and the sound of thunder filled the air.
“Princess Luna are you using the weather to slow them down?”
“The storm is not our doing.”
“So who is?” I asked her.
“We do not know.”
Celestia stared at the storm that lay past the broken window. Her white elegant face growing sterner by the second.
“Princess Celestia are you okay? Is there something wrong?”.
The question broke the princess’ concretion from the window.
“No, its is nothing.” she told me.
I knew it was a lie and that she was hiding something from me. From Luna’s reaction it seemed as if though Celestia was holding something from her own sister.
“What are we facing?” I thought. It was obvious that whatever it was it was something even Celestia feared.
Then the thunder came. The sound shaking the ground. It was as if someone shot a cannon right next to my ear. My ears must have rang for a couple minutes before a bolt of lightning lit up the sky.
That’s when I finally understood what she was so worried about. A being that was even stronger and Luna and Celestia. The king of the alicorns, Cloud Bringer. A man I would always respect.
Then the fact that he had died about three years before the Empire had vanished came to me. So this couldn’t be him, could it?
This made me feel a bit of unease that was only increased when another changeling came crashing through the roof. The thunder and lightning following afterwards, again.
The changeling looking almost the same expect for the broken neck. I looked back at the princesses. They faces made me feel more nervous about this situation. I didn’t look back at Jackal because I already knew what he was doing, standing there being bored.
To break the silence I asked the princesses “Should we excavate?”.
“It should not have to come to that.” said Celestia.
Then a series of bolts raced across the sky. The lightning ran all across the storm, the bolt broke off into smaller bolts in different directions.
As it was before and after the lightning the changelings fell. This time they didn’t fall into the throne but instead they fell somewhere else in Canterlot.
I turned my gaze towards the ceiling, waiting for the changelings to come crashing down. But instead we heard a giant thud that was strong enough to shake the ground and by the sounds of it came from the courtyard, right outside the room. The princesses and I exchanged glances not sure if we should check.
We didn’t have time to answer when a barrage of dead changelings smacked into the ground. It must have been twenty in all if not more.
“We should check if they’re still alive.” I said while making my way to the exit.
“If thou are?” Luna asked.
“If its up to me they will go through interrogation. But that’s not my call.” I answered while I picked up the boy in my arms.
As I made my way through the center of the room I couldn’t help but notice all the dead bodies on the floor. Most were black and blue from the beating that they took, some had foot long scratches across their mid-section and/or chest. The bodies had been stack on top of each other that had left the a small pathway over the carpet in the center of the room. Even with that the floor had giant pools of blood that had been blackened from time.
I took a quick glance back at the dragon king to find that he wasn’t at throne but had instead joined us and was following us outside. I turned my attention to the princesses to see if they knew to be answered with a slight nod from Celestia. So, I looked back to the door.
“So what changed your mind?” I asked him.
After waiting a couple seconds to wait for the response that never came. I took this as a hint to stop asking questions. Luckily enough we reached the doors leading outside and after opening them up with my magic I could see the carnage that the storm had caused.
The courtyard must have been littered with forty to sixty dead changelings. Each one twitched uncontrollably. I could only marvel at the feat that the person who was controlling the storm had done.
There was no way these could be done by a pegasus or unicorn. Both would’ve used magic to make lightning but it wouldn’t have caused the damage that it did. Only natural bolts of lightning could do this.
A tap on the shoulder brought my attention to the sky. The clouds the were being sucked away to reveal Celestia’s sun. The storm was condensing inside a lightning bolt inside the hands of a winged figure. Whoever this was had been controlling the storm like pro. What else was surprising it was that he wasn’t an alicorn.
I already knew that only pegasi could walk on cloud so that crossed out this person being a unicorn or earth, but this was a major stretch for a pegasus. No pegasus could control the weather without actually touching a cloud. Alicorns though are able to change the weather without a second thought but even they couldn’t hold a lightning bolt, except for Cloud.
But it couldn’t be him because Cloud was an alicorn. Could someone turn back into a pegasus after becoming an alicorn. What could have caused the process?
So, if that wasn’t him then who would be stupid enough to fight Chrysalis and her army of changelings alone? How could he have control the storm like he was?
The changeling queen stood alone even with his show of power she stood her ground. Her long, green hair blowing in the wind revealing the long black dress with multiple holes around the waist. Slowly channeling all of her magic into her crooked horn while the pegasus pooled whatever of the storm was left of the storm into its bolt.
“Finally, things are getting interesting.” Jackal said. I turning to look back at him. To be honest I was somewhat surprised because this was the first time he had actually said anything and I almost forgotten that he was even there. I wanted to say something but the impact of the two forces brought my attention back to the pegasus.
The pegasus was holding the bolt of lightning like a sword he his hands. His bolt was cutting through the Queen’s magic and slowly advanced. The bolt making its way down to the Queen’s head. The more the pegasus moved closer to the Queen the more she would come closer to the ground.
Her descent brought her right in front us making her stand and fight. Now I could see that the pegasus was a teenager and a was boy. Me and the princesses were too shocked to do anything.
The bolt wrapped itself around its wielder and his eyes whited. His grey hair was standing on ends. The Queen was struggling to keep him away from her. Her head was beading with sweat.
“I will not be defeat by a fool!” yelled Chrysalis as she put all had into her green energy beam causing a stalemate between the two. The Queen’s energy morphing itself into a giant green bubble that was being pushed deeper into the ground by the boy as pushed harder and harder.
His energy swirling out of control. The bolt was shooting off smaller bolts leaving craters on impact. It was an amazing feat but he was losing energy. His bolt had gotten smaller and was only on his upper body but he still was breaking through Chrysalis’ force field. Her force field was on the verge of cracking open.
The bubble was shaking under the beating it was taking. The small cracks starting to spread all across the bubble. The Queen, who had given up on going on the offensive, trying her best to keep the thing together but even with that it still wasn’t enough and the bubble popped.
All of the energy of the two was suddenly release that caused a giant backlash that was strong enough to make a shockwave. Knocking off my feet and thrown back into the throne room. The child falling out of my grasp and he was sent flying back to the where I picked him up.
I had the wind knocked out of me. My ears rang from the shockwave. I struggled as I pushed off the ground. As I made my way back outside the world spun around me making me stumble a few times and nearly fell over.
By the time I reached the doors the princesses were already rushing to check on me.
“Art thou alright?” said Luna, the only person to say thou and art anymore.
“Yeah just I’m just a little dizzy.” I told her.
“But where’s Shield?” Celestia asked me.
“I’m right here.” a voice answered.
We were all shocked. It wasn’t strange that he was up but the fact he had walked all the way here with those scars. He didn’t even seem to notice the scars were even there. He held a sword in his left hand and a gun in the other.
“Hello Blade are alright?” Celestia asked him.
“Yeah I’m pretty okay even though the my parents just died.” he said while he fought tears that begged to come out.
Celestia looked down at the dirt as if that would make everything better and Luna tried to comfort her sister.
“Hey! There is no reason why you need to act like that. At least we get to live to talk about it.” breaking Celestia attention from the ground.
“There is no reason why we should be sad about this. We should always be happy when someone dies because then you get be the one who carries on their memories.”
This made the princess feel better but she still seemed sad. “Hey. Smile.” I said while I used my fingers to pull lips into a forced smile. The group burst into laughter.
“Alright lets get these bodies out of here.”
Three Hours Later in a room in Canterlot:
I sat in the room to inform some of the most important people in Equestria. Women who were more important than the princesses. The room was small but it would fulfill its purpose. In the center was table with eight chairs around it. The walls were bare except for the window of the southern part of the room that gave a breathtaking view of Canterlot. Sadly, this was being held in one of the biggest hotels in the city and not inside a government facility.
But now wasn’t the time to complain at least we could talk about things in private. I had waited about ten to fifteen minutes for them to arrive. Finally, the six women enter the room with a little baby dragon following behind them. They were all very important people who managed to keep a low profile even with their status as the Elements of Harmony.
The newest princess, Twilight Sparkle wore a light purple vest and dark purple skirt that complimented hair pink and purple highlights. Her new wings constantly twitching trying to find a comfortable place as she eased herself into a chair.
To her left a sat woman with rainbow color haired hair who had on a blue sweat jacket that had holes for her powder blue wings and sweat pants pants to match. On the princesses left sat a small purple scaled dragon with green spikes that ran down its back. One of the newest members of the the top flyers in Equestria, Rainbow Dash.
A women in a beige colored turtleneck and a pair of blue jeans inched her way into chair next the as if the chair was some type of monster. Her pink hair her slightly curving around the tips. She couldn’t hold eye contact for more than a second. The timid little thing was the caretaker of animals for most of the people in Ponyville, Fluttershy.
The polar opposite sat next to the fearful Fluttershy, her friend Pinkie Pie. This was a woman so random that Discord would think she was crazy. Her hair was a big pink puff of cotton candy. The blue jean jacket and pink shirt she had underneath went well with her blue jean shorts.
On the other side of the princess sat a woman with a white collared shirt and a pair of black dress pants. Her white horn stuck out of her hair, that hung from the front of her face in a giant purple swirl. She was the Element of Generosity and fashionista, Rarity.
Next to her sat the Element of Honesty and the head of the Apple family, the family that ran most of the companies that were apple related, Applejack. She wore an orange plaid shirt over a white t-shirt. Her blond hair was covered by a cowboy hat.
“Rather informal for the occasion but it should be enough for the briefing.” I said. I told them how the child managed to ward off the griffon force. How the changelings were defeat by the pegasus.
“So, what happened to the pegasus?” asked Twilight
“We don’t know. After Chrysalis’ force field fell we think that it knocked him into the Everfree forest.” I answered
“Where’s that varmint Chrysalis?” asked Applejack.
“She is currently being held inside the in the mines under Canterlot it’s the same place Chrysalis imprisoned you Princess Sparkle. I thought it was poetic justice.”
“But why isn’t the princess telling us this?” the new princess asked.
“She is currently watching over the Shield she wants to make him her new student.” I answered.
This confused the princess and even made her sad. “I thought I was her student.”
“So what makes that kid so special. He probably can’t do half the things Twilight can do.
“Blade Shield is the son of Silver Tongue and Crimson Blade, the royal advisors of the princesses. For his age he is quite mature and from what I heard is also very good with his words. She is probably trying to make him her and Luna’s new advisor.” I said trying to clear things up.
“So how is that squirt doing anyway?” questioned Rainbow Dash.
“He is alright but he’s still pretty beat up. They placed him in the hospital today and is expected to come out by the end of the week.” I explained.
“I sure hope he’s alright. He must be scared from fighting all those griffons.” Fluttershy whispered.
“I wouldn’t say scared but his is scary.” I say while I thought about the anger that I saw in his. The way he was able the move around after the fight he had just been in.
“What you mean by that sugarcube?” asked Applejack.
“Think about it. He drove off an entire army of griffons and even killed their king and queen. And all he got was a couple of scratches.” I say pushing the lie even further.
“Let’s get back to topic. As you already know we were attacked twice today and both has left us vulnerable. So you the princess wants you to six go to the dragon kingdom to make sure that they will support us in the upcoming war.” I tell them.
“Can I come to?” the baby dragon asked.
“If you want to ruin the entire summit. Human hatched dragons are thought to be wake among the dragon community because they couldn’t hatch on their own.”
“Sorry Spike it looks like you’ll have to stay at home okay.” she said while hugging the dragon.
“Shining Armor and the royal guard will go with to provide security. I will also try occupy you all to help during the negotiations.”
“That you darling but I think we can handle it especially with Twilight being an alicorn. Those ruffians won’t dare try to harm us thing.” Rarity said smugly making her friend blush from the complement.
“Rarity, if the dragon kill wanted to he could kill her without a second thought. He is strong enough to fight survive a battle between the princesses’ father who was a tremendously stronger than both of his children.” I told her.
All eyes were on me. It was as if a Ursa Major burst into the room.
“You know how the princesses’ father was?” Twilight asked me as she leaned across the table. I eyes filled with millions of questions
“Yes, he shortly died after killing his wife.” I told her.
The alicorn frowned “Why he kill her? What was her name? What was like? How did he die? Why haven’t that princesses told us yet?” she said quickly.
“I personally don’t know how he died or why he killed his wife but I do know that there wasn’t something that wasn’t right. It....”. I was interrupted by a guard bursting into the room. “A dragon was spotted in the Everfree Forest.” he panted.
“Dragons are always in the Everfree so why should this one be different?” I questioned even though I already knew the answer.
“The dragon was killed right before it got inside Ponyville. Small bolts of electricity are still coming from the monster. Princess Luna is wanted the Elements and you help her investigate.” he answered.
“Well it looks like the pegasus is still alive. We'll have end this here and go meet this hero."
