The Last Alicorn

A thousand years passed since Twilight gained her wings. The four alicorn princesses of Equestria had kept the peace for many generations, letting the elements of harmony rule the land. Everything was perfect.

But then they came.

Equeatria's greatest enemies, Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and even The God of chaos, began their long over due revenge on the pony goddesses. They captured Canterlot,.. and slayed the alicorns before the populace of our once great land.

With no rulers, Equestria fell into chaos. Wars between the enemies' armies and our small rebellion raged through every city. Chaotic weather and unreasonable hate was spread across the country, and worst, the sun and moon forever shared the sky, neither of them to set again.

With no princesses, our kingdom fell.

Without an alicorn to take back our once beautiful home,... Equestria is doomed.

The Last Alicorn

Chapter 1: Before the Storm

The ruins of a once regal city lay crumbling on a sun scorched cliff. A single, sun-baked tower still stood sentry over the tattered palace, and staring out across the land on the tower's balcony, was a rather short alicorn.

Her pearl pink fur glistened with magic, and her flowing mane shone with the colors of the setting sun and rising moon. Her tail was long and only had a few strands of silken hair at the end, but her hooves were narrow with curled fur.

She was a picture of hope.

I looked out at the Eternal Day, letting out a frustrated sigh. I wanted to leave, to fly far away from here, maybe even to the Eternal Night.... but I couldn't, because the voices in my head told me not to.

I'm not crazy. The voices told me that. They say I'm special, like how they once were. They say that I was born of a spell they cast before they died, and that I'm a combination of the four of them.

The voices told me not to leave the castle. It was safe here. They would find me if I left, and from what the voices say, I am not ready to fight Them.

But I must listen to the voices.

' Indeed thou must,' a voice whispered in my head. I smiled. I loved talking to The Voices.

' Stop messing with her thoughts! Anyway...I think she's ready for the battle with *Them***,' Sharp Voice snapped at Polite Voice.

' Why must we always fight? We're all stuck in here together,' Gentle Voice murmured.

I heard a hoof smack someone's face, ' It's the only thing we have left.... and just because your power is love, doesn't mean you need to push that on us,' Smart Voice grumbled. I laughed.

Smart Voice was my favorite.

' May I interrupt?' I asked them in my head. It suddenly went silent, as if they were surprised by my voice.

'Oh, of course you can, my little pony,' Sharp Voice said sweetly. I laughed again. She couldn't fool me with her fake kindness.

'Well, I've been wondering for awhile.... why do I have to fight *Them?** Aren't there other alicorns like me?*' I quizzed the voices.

They went silent again.

I stepped away from the balcony, ' Never mind...,' I muttered to them, slowly trudging into the small room in the tower. I collapsed onto my pile of mangy blankets, which the voices called a bed, and buried my face in my narrow hooves. Faint whispers ran through my thoughts as the voices discussed something I wasn't aloud to hear.

I didn't want to listen. Closing my eyes, I waited for the memories.
