The Nightmare of The Celestial Dragon
the pond
Load Full StoryNext ChapterAn alicorn sat at the edge of The Pond of Differences. Though she had created it, she still had no idea what lay underneath it's waters. The pond, was just as big as the reflection of the moon. It was fairly big.
Luna stretched her wings.
The pond was created with such powerful alicorn magic, that she had created. The spell could only be cast by the descendant of the moon, which, in this case, was Luna.
Luna tried to cast the spell, that she had tried to cast, ever since she had made the pond. She tried to see what was on the other side. The spell worked best at night. The moon was full, Luna had added her numbers. This would be the night she would finally know what laid beyond her creation. But not in the way she intended.
Luna cast the spell. She put all of her power, all of her heart into it. She must know what was beyond her imagination. Luna screamed. Pain seared from her horn and covered her whole body. Suddenly, the pain stopped. it left a horrible tingling feeling under her skin. Luna stared at the pond in disbelief. her own creation, just... kicked her out? Luna glared at the pond. She tried to gather what just happened. It was night, perhaps, it was not when she was the strongest, but the pond was? It didn't make sense. All she could remember while she was hacking into the pond's other side was.... The sun... That was strange. She saw the sun every time she tried to look into the pond. Even during the day. The daytime shouldn't be opposite across the pond.. Unless... no, that can't be possible. Eternal, day. That was absurd! Luna's head hurt. Maybe the pond was just making her think that she saw a sun every single time she tries to look into the pond. Luna sighed. The sun was coming up already. Her looking-in-the-deep spell took much for time than it seemed. Luna sighed again and headed back into the castle. She feared, that she would never know beyond her creation. Luna mentally stomped her hooves in frustration. She entered her room. Luna's room was huge. Across from her door, was her bed. Her sheets were dotted with her Cutie Mark. On the side wall was a dark blue vanity. A huge mirror was suspended by Luna's window. Luna laid on her bed and was asleep by the time the sun peaked her curtains.
When Luna woke up it was time to bring up the moon. She quickly raised it and headed down to the Pond of Differences. You couldn't see the pond at first, it was surrounded by the trees of the Ever free Forest. It kept curious eyes away. Luna lighted her horn. she put all of her might into it. The spell bounced off the pond. Luna screamed, this time, in fear, not pain. The spell hit Luna. Luna was sent flying backward. She slammed into a nearby tree. She heard the swish of wings. Celestia Luna thought. Luna rolled, completely out of her power, down, and landed with a small splash, into, the Pond Of Differences.
"NO!" Celestia shouted. She swished her hoof in the pond. It was too late. The Pond, had engulfed her completely. Luna flew into a open window of the castle. "Phenomena!" She cried "Go after Luna! Keep an eye on her!" Phenomena fly off, and dove into the waters of The Pond Of Differences. Celestia flew off to tell the nightmare guards of what had happened to their princess.
Luna Twisted in the waters of The pond. Her struggling was useless. A green hoof reached out, and pulled Luna up. Luna found herself face to face with a Pegasus mare with dark curly green hair, and a green coat. Her cutie mark was what looked like a crystallized leaf. There was a filly beside her, that looked just like her, except she had an olive coat, and had no cutie mark.
"come on!" The mare cried. "before she sees you! Then we'll be barbecue!"
