The Demon's Within

“Why…why am I running? I just have this feeling of…running. Running away from all the terror of my land, the darkness that follows and the destruction ahead. I don’t care what happens around me, I will be okay. The poor soul that I will consume will have to live with the ruin of his entire life, I do not care, and I will be okay and that is all that matters. As I look down upon the land of Equestria, the land that I once thought of a place of prosperity, I saw a little colt. That little colt was doing something that not even a grown stallion would dare to do. He was standing up to an Ursa Major, defending his fillyfriend. The colt had a white coat, a dark red and white mane, his eyes were blue and his cutiemark was a microphone. The filly next to him had an azure coat, her mane looked silver, but it seemed to be a light blue as well. Her eyes were a dark violet color and here cutiemark was a magic wand sprinkling pixie dust. The Ursa was quite large in size, but the colt looked at it with intense seriousness and absolutely no fear in his eyes. He was certainly an Equestrian, but he had the courageousness of nothing that I have ever seen in Equestria.

This colt has something in him that nopony seems to have something that I am not accustomed to, a heart. But with all that heart, he will never defeat that Ursa Major. So, I am not the type of demon that would waste such a good and delicious soul. I should eat him up before that Ursa does.”  The strange demon thought as it surged toward the white colt. The demon was in his transparent form, so it entered through the colt and went into its soul.

“So, this is what his soul looks like.” The demon said as he looked around the dark abyss known as a soul. He looked for the center of the soul, the area where all demons can take over a pony’s body. He saw a white flash and walked towards it. Surprisingly, some white chains came out of nowhere and tied the demon by all three of his hoof and held him up.

“What!? What is going on!? I am the demon of shadows! Not some weak little demon that is contained like a dog in a kennel! Let me go!” The demon yelled as a white aura surged through the chains and shocked him. His body was shocking all the way through as his bones in his wings crackled, his horn began to surge darkness. Every time his horn would glow black, his body was hit with another surge. He screamed in agony as it sounded like a loud demonic roar.

“I will not be contained inside little colt! AGHHHHHHHHH!” He yelled with a demonic roar.

On the outside, the colt began to feel a surge of demonic energy flow through him. His eyes went white and a large surge of black magic came out of his hoof and hit the Ursa Major. The beast began to stir backwards, but it maintained its balance. The Ursa Major then swung at him, the colt dodged its paw, but it hit the filly that was behind him. He looked down at her with anger in his eyes as he looked up at the beast.

“You…” The colt began to speak in a very demonic voice. “You hurt my friend. I will kill you, you demonic fiend!” He yelled as he got in a battle stance. The Ursa Major roared as he swung at the colt with his large paw, a dark aura went around the colt as he stopped the Ursa Major’s huge paw with his one hoof. The Ursa Major looked at him with fear as the colt lifted up the beast with both of his hoofs, turned around, and slammed him on the ground. The Ursa slammed onto the ground with a large trimmer flowing through the ground. When the beast was slammed, it left a huge crater in the earth.

The colt turned around and picked up the filly that he had tried to save. She was still breathing, even with being his by a gigantic Ursa Major. The colt looked down at her with a smile; he really thought she was a special pony. She didn’t have a family, and neither did he. He promised himself that he would protect her with his life, no matter what. He wasn’t going to let her feel like nothing, so he decided that he would let her take the credit of defeating something as strong as an Ursa Major. He began walking with her in his hoofs. He smiled at her and walked back to their homeland of Canterlot.

12 years later

Ravestorm smiled as he walked down the stairs. He looked over and saw that Trixie was sitting down on one of her beautiful silver chairs. It looked like one of those chairs that a director would sit in when ponies were directing a movie. She was brushing her beautiful silver blue mane and looking at herself in the mirror. She had the most beautiful smile on in the mornings; Ravestorm smiled at her as he walked over and began to rub her shoulders. Trixie moaned in pleasure because she always loved Ravestorm’s shoulder rubs, they always helped her relax before a big show.

Trixie was getting ready for her next performance in Ponyville; she had never been in Ponyville, but she heard that all the ponies were nice and caring. Ravestorm really wanted to go with her to Ponyville, but he had his own plans in Canterlot. You see, Ravestorm was a rock star that was indeed quite famous, due to the fact that not many ponies could play the guitar and sing at the same time. He was preparing for his performance, but helped Trixie prepare for hers.

Trixie enjoyed his help; it meant that somepony cared about her. She hated the fact that most of the shows that she went to, they had mistaken her for a very jerkish pony. It was indeed her job to be a showoff, she was a magician. She wasn’t exactly the best at magic, but she knew that long ago, she defeated an Ursa Major by herself. She may have never seen it, but Ravestorm told her that she went into a blind rage and defeated the large beast. She trusted her dear friend Ravestorm, and knew that she had a power deep within her. She became a magician because she wanted to showcase her abilities in front of an audience. When Ravestorm and Trixie went to Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, Trixie loved to have a good reaction every time she showcased her ability in front of her teacher. Ravestorm had to leave the school to go to Celestia’s School for the Musically Talented, which left Trixie on her own.

Trixie had never seen Ravestorm perform magic, and she always presumed that his horn was snapped in the middle. But the truth was that Ravestorm was afraid that the demon that had entered his body would come out and he would indeed hurt the one that he had promised himself to protect. Ravestorm knew that a demon was inside of him, because he would hear a roar in the back of his mind. He always wanted to find out what was inside of him, but he never wanted to try it around Trixie. He presumed that it was just some demon that tried to take over his body, but failed. But he always wondered why the demon failed in taking over his body. Ravestorm was not at all spiritually strong, and his magical abilities left something to be desired. He did however have the talent at doing multiple things at once, which was good to have when you have a pony like Trixie around.

Trixie put on her magicians cape and hat and looked over at Ravestorm. Her smile almost melted his heart; he always wanted to see Trixie happy. They were staying at a hotel in Canterlot; Ravestorm happily paid the bill because Trixie had slowly began to lose money because she didn’t have the popularity that Ravestorm had. Something always bugged him though, why didn’t the ponies enjoy Trixie’s shows anymore? Ravestorm had seen many of her performances, and they were spectacular. He presumed that most of the ponies had seen her as a total jerk, but Trixie was always the sweetest pony in his eyes.

“Hey Trixie, when is your chariot going to arrive?” Ravestorm asked rubbing her shoulders, Ravestorm paid for an escort to Ponyville, but they were rather late. They were supposed to arrive at 11 A.M, but it was currently 11:30. This made Ravestorm mad because he wasn’t preparing for his show, which was only several hours away.

“Don’t worry, they will arrive soon. Trixie knows when they should arrive, and Trixie’s show isn’t for several hours. Trixie can wait passionately.” Trixie said in her casual third pony speaking. Ravestorm loved how she spoke in third pony, because it sounded adorable.

Ravestorm knew why she spoke that way; it was because her mother loved that way of speaking. Ravestorm knew her mother when he was young; she was a very nice mother. She was a magician too, but after a while she had developed a deadly disease that took her life. Before she died, she gave Trixie her magician’s hat and cape and smiled at her. The mother had told her that she was proud of Trixie and then passed away. It was a very emotional death for both Trixie and Ravestorm, because Ravestorm really didn’t know his mother. Ravestorm’s parents died when he was about six years old, but he loved them still for raising him since his birth.

After several minutes, the guards showed up with their chariot all ready for Trixie’s departure. Ravestorm smiled as he walked over and paid the guards. He paid them a few bits extra because he always did that to the guards. He knew that they probably had a bit of trouble on the way, so he let it slide. Trixie walked over with a satchel over her shoulder that held must of her magical equipment; Trixie then gave a quick kiss on Ravestorm’s cheek and hugged him. Trixie then smiled and got into the chariot, the guards then prepared their wings and flew, flying off into the yellow sunset.

Ravestorm smiled as he went back into the hotel, he walked upstairs and got ready for his performance. He placed the guitar around his neck and placed the microphone in a satchel. He tightened up his gear and walked out of the door. He had paid for another chariot to pick him up right after Trixie departed. The chariot came into the distance as the guards landed, Ravestorm smiled as he got into the backseat. The guards got ready and flew up in the air, with Ravestorm and the chariot behind them. Ravestorm smiled as he felt the wind flow through his mane, he enjoyed the feel of the air flowing through his mane. He smiled in joy and waited for them to arrive in Manehatten.
