Daughter Of War....by Moustache QueenChaptersChapter OneChapter TwoChapter ThreeChapter FourChapter FiveChapter SixChapter SevenOn HoldChapter OneThis Chapter is dedicated to my friend Rachel Walker, who is now walking among the stars ----------------------------------Daughter Of War---------------------------------- She was floating, floating among the darkness of her own dreams....She didn't know how or where did the light came from, she only had the urge to follow it. Slowly the light grew bigger, bigger, and bigger. Until it finally opened into a new world... She slowly opened her eyes, blinking as the light shone into them. She let out a small giggle as a soft hand rubbed against her cheek. She looked up to face her mother, her oak-coloured eyes sparkling with happiness... "Where is she?" boomed a voice. She looked up, and let out a slight happy giggle as she gazed straight into the fiery red eyes of her father. He crossed his arms and gazed at his daughter. She was smiling, unaware of the powers he possessed.... "Ares...meet your daughter.." Elizabeth breathed... Ares let out a scoff and unfolded his arms, walked slowly to his daughter, her beautiful emerald green grass coloured eyes bore into his fiery flaming red ones... For a single moment, Ares felt he could collapse on his knees at the sight of his beautiful daughter... He shook his head and lifted his gaze to his exhausted wife... "You should rest" Ares commanded. Elizabeth lifted her brow, her eyes sparked in a mischievous manner. She smiled and lower her gaze to her daughter. "And what? Miss the bonding of Father and Daughter?" Elizabeth asked. Ares rolled his eyes and crossed his arms once more, his red eyes blazing with annoyance. "I know your the God Of War and stuff my love....but honestly...can't you give a little bit of your time to meet and bond with your daughter?" Elizabeth asked "In war there ain't many lovers sweetheart..." Ares grumbled. "Ah....but there isn't a War near us now is there?" Elizabeth asked. Ares grumbled and cursed under his breath as Elizabeth won the soft argument....He always hated losing, always... "Have you named her yet?" Ares asked. Elizabeth shook her head. "Would you like to name her Ares?" Elizabeth asked. Ares frowned, he never really named stuff except his swords. He nodded and started pacing back and forth... Elizabeth chuckled as she saw her lover thinking... "Bellum?" Ares answerd finally. "No.." Elizabeth laughed. "Potestas?" Ares asked. "No..." Elizabeth replied. "Amour?" Ares added. "Isn't that Love in Latin?" Elizabeth asked, screwing up a smug smile. "Gladius?" Ares asked. "Isn't that sounding like a boys name?" Elizabeth asked. "Son of a Arma!" Ares cursed "That's a good one!" Elizabeth smiled "What Arma?" Ares asked "Yes! In Latin it means Weapons doesn't it? And Arma is related to Karma!" Elizabeth smiled "I have no idea what you just said..." Ares admitted Arma smiled and gazed at her Father, giggling, she reached out and tried to hug him. Elizabeth smiled and slowly picked Arma up with soft and gentle hands, hooking her up she showed her to Ares, who was crossing his arms totally disagreeing with the name... "Daddy!" Arma giggled. Ares lifted his eyebrow and gazed at his daughter, his red eyes blazeing into Arma's green ones.. "Come on Ares...I won't tell anyone...just hug her for once!" Elizabeth encouraged... Ares let out a 'Huff!' Of disagreement and turned away from his daughter... Arma tilted her head and let out a small giggle... Ares sighed, and turned to face his daughter again, this time....holding his golden and red sword... "How-" Ares began. "ARMA!!" Arma giggled. Ares ducked and let out a small chuckle, he lifted his hand and hooked his fingers around it. He chuckled and sheathed it, turned to his daughter who was crossing her arms and giving him a smug face saying, 'I knew you will fall for it'. Ares sighed and lifted Arma out of Elizabeth's hands and held her uncomfortably... "Never held a baby huh?" Elizabeth laughed. Ares rolled his eyes, Elizabeth smiled, Arma giggled. All were happy.... ----------------------------------Daughter Of War---------------------------------- Applejack woke in a jolt, she quickly raised her head to only face her bedroom. Sweat poured down her face, she gulped and lifted herself out her bed, she lifted her hoof and grabbed her Brown Stetson hat and placed it on her yellow mane... Slowly Applejack let out a few calm breaths and walked towards a large brown chest.... Applejack slowly opened the chest with a soft creeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaakkkk. Applejack slowly lowered her hoof in the dark box and reached out for a long shape, she lifted it out of the box, the window behind her shone by the beautiful and graceful light of the moon.. Applejack sat down and gazed at the long shape...She frowned... It was a long golden and red sword, the hilt of the sword had a bright orange ruby-shaped gem it was so big, Rarity would fall into 'Drama Mode'. Applejack lifted her gaze to face the shadows of her room, she sighed and closed her eyes.. The words echoed through her mind... ELIZABETH NO! I'm sorry Ares... IT WASN'T HER FAULT. It had to be done. IT WASNT HER FAULT, YOU COWARD BITCH!. Step aside now Ares...Arma will destroy us all if she lives... NEVER! Fine...I'll do it by force! "Applejack?" Whispered a voice. Applejack snapped out of her trance, she looked up to face a small cream-coloured filly with a bright red mane and tail and a big pink bow.. "Apple Bloom?" Applejack asked. The filly nodded, her orange coloured eyes were fixed on the sword fearfully... "Ya had that bad dream again sis?" Apple Bloom asked. Applejack sighed.. "Yeah...yeah ah did.." Applejack sighed. "Why are you up anyways missy?" Applejack added. Apple Bloom brushed the wooden floor with her hoof nervously, she gulped and lowered her gaze to the floor.. "Ah had I nightmare sis.." Apple Bloom admitted... Applejack sighed and placed the sword gently in the wooden box and shut it tight. She sighed and slowly walked forwards and sat next to Apple Bloom, while hooking her hoof around the young Filly's shoulder.. "What was it Apple Bloom?" Applejack asked. "Ah was walking in the apple woods...you were behind meh, Granny Smith too..." Apple Bloom began. Applejack gazed at the filly, she was slowly shaking... "We-we were taking ya to the river because you were bleedin...Once we were there a large pair of red eyes sparkled in the bushes ah went towards it an-an-an it pounced it-it it" Apple Bloom stammered. Tears began to flow down the creamy coloured Filly's eyes, Applejack nudged the filly towards her, Apple Bloom sobbed and sunk her face into Applejack's fur, the orange mare shuddered as the cold tears sunk into her orange fur. She closed her eyes and remembered the first time she had a nightmare. Applejack smiled as she recalled her snuggling in Big Mac's bed when he offered her to sleep with him. Applejack remembered how she felt safe and secure when she stayed by Big Mac. Applejack lowered her head to face the crying Apple Bloom, still crying in her fur. "It got ya and you told me and G-Granny to run and-and-an I saw blood splatter and the river turned red!" Apple Bloom sobbed. "Sshhhhhhhhhh it's ok Apple Bloom, it's ok I'm not goin anywhere...it's ok.." Applejack soothed. "Ah looked back and saw yeh fighting the monster with t-that sword....you-you were glowing bright yellow and blood was pouring down yeh....and-and you glowed brightly and ah woke up..." Apple Bloom continued. "It's alright Apple Bloom.." Applejack soothed, softly rubbing the soft red mane of the little crying filly... "Sis....I-I thought you really were dead...it-it felt real....Real" Apple Bloom sniffed. Applejack slowly pushed the filly from her fur and gazed into her deep orange eyes, she smiled and lifted her hoof and whipped the flowing tears off her sister's face... "Now lookie 'ere Yah a big strong filly...and no one can tell you otherwise...I'm a big strong sister...no one will take meh down remember? I'm the Element of Honesty for Apple's sake!" Applejack soothed. "Even if I'm fighting and I don't have much weapons I've still got Bucky Mc Goddie Goddie and Kick's Mc Gee!" Applejack joked. Apple Bloom smiled and sniffed away the tears, she slowly heaved herself up and hugged Applejack tightly... "Now yah better be off to bed before old Granny Smith will whip ya up a strong speech on bed rest!" Applejack chuckled. Apple Bloom smiled and rushed to the door and opened it slowly, she turned her head and faced Applejack, smiling. "Yah the best sis ever.." Apple Bloom sniffed... Applejack smiled and watched her little sister creep away into the darkness, Applejack turned to the old brown chest once more... "Why do I have a weird feeling this 'Ares' fellow is bad trouble?" Applejack mumbled to herself. Slowly she closed the door Apple Bloom opened and made her way to her bright and large bed once more.. Applejack heaved herself in the comfy covers and placed her brown Stetson on her bed side. Slowly she closed her eyes and began to travel in the dream world.... ----------------------------------Daughter Of War---------------------------------- The next day Applejack woke up to find the warm and mouth-watering smell of Pancakes... Applejack smiled and quickly heaved her bed covers off herself, she quickly placed her brown Stetson on her yellow mane and rushed to the brown door and opened it up to revel Apple Bloom holding a large tray with three glasses of Apple Juice and a white clean plate with golden coloured Panckaes on them... Applejack was speechless, she gazed at Apple Bloom, who was smiling... "Apple Bloom...Yah shouldn't 'ave" Applejack gasped. "Happy birthday sis!" Apple Bloom smiled. "Wha?" Applejack gasped. Apple Bloom smiled and slowly pressed forwards into the room and slowly set down the large tray on Applejack's messy bed. Applejack herself was completely surprised, not of the Pancakes or Apple Bloom delivering them.. She forgot her own Birthday, she completely forgot it was the first day of Summer, the first day of the 'Summer Holidays' where Apple Bloom was unable to go to school until six weeks later... "What's wrong sis?" Apple Bloom asked. Applejack blinked and shook her head and smiled, she slowly turned her gaze for the tray to her little sister, who, was hopping down in excitement. "Hold on yeh little varmint!" Applejack chuckled. "Wha?" Apple Bloom began. Applejack leapt and knocked down her little sister over and began to tickle her with her long yellow mane... "Thoughts you could get away from first day of the month did yeh?!" Applejack laughed. Ever since Applejack returned from The Crystal Empire, Apple Bloom Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo all made up this group of shenanigans called 'First day of the month'. What happens is that everypony must hunt down their friends or family and tickle them into submission. Applejack was surprised Apple Bloom didn't get a Cutie Mark for making a new kind of Prank... "Stop please! Hahaha! I give in! I GIVE IN!!" Apple Bloom laughed Applejack let out a small chuckle and released Apple Bloom from her long bushy yellow tail, Apple Bloom let out a few breaths to regain herself. "I see Apple Bloom lost the First Month hooey!" Chuckled a voice. Applejack spun around to face a long-old green coloured mare her white mane shinned brightly from the sun-rays blazing through the window in front of her... "Granny Smith!" Applejack smiled. "Ello youngin Happy Birthday!" Granny Smith smiled. "Eyup!" Added a voice. Applejack smiled as a large red coloured stallion walked and stood next to Granny Smith, it was Applejack's brother, Big Macintosh... "Happy Sixteenth birthday sis!" Macintosh smiled. "Thanks Big Mac!" Applejack smiled. "Now hurry up and eat ya Pancakes before they get cold ya friend Rainbow Blitz came over to get yeh!" Granny Smith smiled. "Actually it's Rainbow Dash Granny!" Applejack smiled. Granny Smith frowned and lifted up a large golden horn and plugged it into her ear and leaned closer to Applejack. Applejack chuckled and leapt onto her bed and began to sink her teeth into the glorious Pancakes. pple Bloom watched her eat with longing sparkling in her orange eyes. Smiling Applejack pushed the tray to the young filly and chewed her last Pancake in one last gulp.. Apple Bloom smiled and began to dig into the remaining Pancakes on the tray, smiling as she did so.. Applejack heaved herself off the bed only to bump into Big Mac, she backed away and stared at a large green and orange box with a bright yellow box.. "Ah Mac...yeh shouldn't have..." Applejack gasped. "Eyup!" Mac smiled and shoved the box forwards. Applejack smiled and received the gift and teased to the box open onto to gasp, she lowered her hoof into the box and hooked her hoof onto the mysterious item... She lifted it out and smiled.... It was a large copper made apple with large words saying 'APPLEJACK'. "Ah Mac....thank you..." Applejack smiled. Slowly Applejack raised her hoof and brought down her Stetson and clipped the Apple on her hat, still smiling she placed it on and hugged her big brother... "Thank you...all of yeh.." Applejack smiled. "Yah better go missy! Don't wanna be late for your friend Rainbow Light!" Granny encouraged. Applejack smiled and nodded and pushed herself forwards and opened her bedroom door and raced down the corridor, she smiled as she leapt down the staircase and land with a loud THUD.. Applejack raced through the living room and kitchen and opened the white door and raced into the outdoors, Applejack smiled and raced down the dusty path to Ponyville..... Unaware of the mysterious set of Red eyes following her.... Author's Note How do you like it? Did I do good? Please tell I did good! Hope you liked it....it is to make up for my deleted stories :Raritycry: A.F Chapter TwoThis Chapter is dedicated to Jake Robinsion who will forever keep my secret safe till death -----------------------------Daughter Of War----------------------------- Applejack smiled and raced down the dusty path, dust and dirt was sent flying into the air with every hoof-step she took, the dust slowly began to fly up and form large cloud dusts, just high enough to reach Applejack's mane tip. The dust swarmed and tickled around Applejack, she smiled. Slowly the bright and colourful village known as Ponyville came on the horizon, Applejack sped up, she felt her eyes spark with determination and nervousness... ARMA NO! Applejack widened her eyes, for a moment she lost her control of her hoofs, they felt numb, with a stomp Applejack skidded and flew into the air. Applejack waved her arms in panic, Applejack closed her eyes and fell to the ground with a soft Omph! Applejack groaned, she opened her eyes to face a large pink coloured hoof. She looked up to face a smiling bright pink coloured pony with bright blue eyes, sparkling with excitement. "Pinkie Pie?" Applejack groaned "Hiya Applejack! Oh my gosh you take soooooooo long to get here! But now your here isn't that great?! Pinkie Pie giggled Applejack lifted herself up and dusted herself down and fixed her hat in the right position, with a smile Pinkie Pie began bouncing around the orange mare, giggling as she did so. "I have a message from Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie giggled and bounced in her normal fourth-wall cheery fashion. "Ok shoot" Applejack replied "Rainbow Dash told me that she heard from Twilight who heard from Rarity who heard from Fluttershy that you must go to Sugar Cube Corner for a BIG BIG BIGGY surprise!" Pinkie giggled Applejack lifted her hat and scratched her mane with confusion, Pinkie Pie may of spoke normal to herself but to Applejack she didn't hear a word of it. "Come again?" Applejack asked "Ok Rainbow Dash told me that she heard from Twi-mmmmprh!?" Pinkie Pie began only to have a orange hoof pressed on her mouth "Pinkie Pie say It slowly..ok?" Applejack confirmed The pink party pony smiled and nodded, Applejack sighed and let her hoof fall to the ground once more. "SUGAR CUBE CORNER BIG BIG BIGGY SURPRISE!!" Pinkie Pie giggled before disappearing in a flash of pink. "Ah knew Pinkie Pie was a Fourth-wall breaker....but this is just creepin meh out.." Applejack mumbled to herself The orange mare sighed and pressed forwards, flicking her golden tail as she went. As she walked along she frowned, she kept on thinking about her dream... Arma? Ares? Elizabeth? Those names are weird in my opinion....but why the hay to they seem...familiar? Applejack thought. "Hi Applejack!" Greeted a voice Applejack lifted her gaze and smiled and waved a hoof of greeting at the pony in front of her. It was a beautiful lime green coloured mare with a white and darker lime green streaked tail. She appeared to be in a bit of a problem, the mare was hold about five books in both hoofs, and was also holding a shopping basket. Papers were flying everywhere... "Lyra? Y'all need some 'elp with that?" Applejack asked, walking to the mare Lyra smiled and let out a sigh and collapsed underneath the massive pile of grocery shopping and books, Applejack smiled and picked up a large brown book with a golden spine. Applejack looked at the book and frowned, she turned the book nurmeous times to understand the title. By the time Lyra grabbed all of her grocery bags Applejack finally figured out the title... Humans Greek Mythology Applejack frowned and turned over the title to reveal a picture of a weird creature with white robes and short shaggy light grey hair, but what was the most weird thing, the creature was holding a large lighting bolt. The creature's eyes was grey as the hair, but was blazing with power and wisdom far beyond any age Applejack has ever seen. "Oh you're reading Zeus!" Lyra smiled Applejack lifted her eyebrow, Lyra gasped and held her shopping bags to her mouth.. "You mean you don't know Zeus?" Lyra asked "Nah...no offence Lyra but I'm not into tha 'uman stuff ya in" Applejack replied "It's ok! But of you're not into them...why are you reading it?" Lyra asked as she gazed at the reading Applejack.. "Wha? Oh..ah didn't quite understand the title.." Applejack admitted, flicking the page. "What do you mean by that?" Lyra asked. Applejack stayed silent, her green eyes were fixed on the page before her, quick as a flash she shoved the book into Lyra's chest and ran.. Lyra stood speechless, frowning she dropped her bags and quickly placed the book in her hoof, she frowned once more as she gazed at the white page with bold fiery red words naming one thing. Ares God Of War -----------------------------Daughter Of War----------------------------- Applejack didn't know where she was running nor why, she just didn't want to face that name again, Ares. The voices echoed through her brain as she kept running, dust was flying around her.. ARMA NO!!!!!!! I'm sorry Ares.. WHY? WHY! SHE WAS ONLY A CHILD! She would kill us by the time she aged. WE COULD OF TRAINED HER NOT TO! I'm sorry Ares...it's done... I'll NEVER forgive you Hera...NEVER! Applejack closed her eyes and galloped faster, but the voices just kept shouting or soothing in her mind, it hurt, it felt like fire burning inside your brain and burning away all knowledge and memories you had and turning it to ash. Applejack opened her eyes and skidded, sending dust fly into the air. Before she knew it she tumbled into a figure of blue and multicolour, Applejack let out a yelp of surprised and flung into the figure sending in herself, and the figure topple over into the dust.. Applejack groaned and rubbed her hat-less head, she looked up to see a tall blue coloured Pegasus with a rainbow coloured mane a tail, her eyes were sparking with impatience and surprise.. "Applejack!" The mare huffed "Rainbow?" Applejack asked "Duh!" Rainbow huffed flinging her arms out in a expression know as 'why are you? Stupid?' "Hay...why were you in front of me?" Applejack asked "I was looking for you! Didn't Pinkie Pie give you the message of the Big surprise?" Rainbow huffed, crossing her arms and hovering over the orange mare. Applejack widened her eyes and sat right up, nearly knocking Rainbow Dash over. "Oh gosh I forgot! I was havin a conversation with Lyra and I-" Applejack began "No time for explanations we gotta go!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, and grabbed Applejack's hoof. Now for some weird reason Applejack felt a nerve twitch, without thinking she knocked Rainbow Dash's hoof away and spun around giving a large buck into the Pegasus chest sending the Pegasus staggering "OW!" Rainbow Dash wailed. Applejack widened and she quickly picked up her brown Stetson and rushed to her friend she lifted the blue Pegasus up who flinched and gave Applejack a look of confusion. "Why the hay did you do that for?!" Rainbow asked "Sorry Rainbow I didn't like you touchin me..I felt a weird feelin and snapped.." Applejack mumbled "Oh so like Self-Defence?" Rainbow asked rubbing her mane. "Yeah I guess so.." Applejack admitted. "Ok...we better go to the surprise then.." Rainbow mumbled, offering her hoof. "Ok then..." Applejack smiled and grabbed the hoof of her friend. With a Whhoooosh Applejack felt wind blast into her face, she placed her free hoof onto her brown Stetson to keep it from flying away for mother large and fast amounts of air blasting onto her face. Applejack looked down and smiled, underneath her was the the bright and colourful buildings of Ponyville.. "Brace yourself AJ!" Rainbow sniggered "Wait what do ya mean by-" Applejack began The orange mare didn't have to to finish, with a strong heave of her hoof Rainbow flung Applejack forwards, the orange mare gasped in surprise and held onto her hat tightly, Applejack closed her eyes and felt her whole body tumble and and collapsed on a surprisingly soft floor.. Applejack opened her eyes and looked up to face a wide creamy and pink coloured room, Applejack heaved herself up and dusted herself down only to find confetti stuck on her fur. With no warning a flash of pink purple yellow white purple green and blue jumped out and shot out large amounts of confetti.. "SURPRISE!!" Voices yelled Applejack yelled and toppled over, she looked up to face five mares and a small purple and green dragon.. They all smiled, all where wearing pointy party hats, Applejack smiled and lifted herself again. "Happy birthday Applejack!" Giggled a voice Applejack looked up to face Pinkie Pie once more, she was pushing a large white cart with a mysterious orange box in the middle of it. Rainbow Dash followed behind the pink party pony, hovering in the air, smiling and prideful about her little prank with Applejack. "Yah got me Rainbow.." Applejack chuckled "You bet I did!" Rainbow laughed "Applejack! Darling! Confetti isn't really your style on you're fur!" Gasped a voice Applejack turned to face a snow white coloured Unicorn with a pretty styled deep purple coloured mane and tail, her bright blue eyes were sparkling with concern and amusement. "Rarity am i thinking what you're thinking? Applejack laughed "Of course! Fashion Maker overrrrrrrrrr!!" Rarity smiled, clapping her hooves in excitement Applejack sighed and slowly slipped away form the eager fashionista Unicorn.. "H-hi Apple-jack....Ha-ppy birthday!" Squeaked a voice Applejack turned her attention to a bright yellow coloured Pegasus with a bright pink mane and tail, her kind face was hidden by the pink mane, her dark green eyes glowed dimly by the soft shades of shadow.. "Fluttershy! How ya doin? Is Angel ok?" Applejack smiled Fluttershy brushed her hoof across the wooden floor, her eyes darting everywhere to inspect any danger.. "He's fine...I just hope he'll be fine while I'm gone.." Fluttershy replied with a soft smile "Happy birthday Applejack!" Commented a voice Applejack lofted her eyebrow and turned and bowed at the figure before her, Princess Twilight Sparkle flapped her wings in disapproval. "Applejack! You don't have to bow to me on you're birthday!" Twilight smiled "But Princess Twi-" Applejack began "No buts! Oh and it's just Twilight...honestly Applejack I'm starting to think you might be better of as a Element of Loyalty!" Twilight joked "Hey! I'm in the building you know!" Rainbow huffed "Applejack! Applejack! Yooooohooooooo Applejack! Applejack!" Pinkie Pie giggled. Applejack chuckled and turned herself around and walked right up to the pink party pony, Pinkie giggled and showed her hoofs to the bright orange box, Applejack felt all of her friends gaze at her with happiness and pride. Slowly Applejack gulped and slowly lifted the box up, she gasped and placed her hoof to her mouth, dropping the box. "Girls...ya shouldn't 'ave" Applejack gasped, tears welling in her eyes There before her, was the largest cake Applejack has seen, it's orange icing paced around the sides of the cake, it was a big vinilla flavoured cake, in the middle of it was three large red apples with bright green icing stems... Applejack blinked, tears of happiness began to fall down her face, her friends around her smiled.. "We did Applejack..you deserved it.." Twilight informed "Yeah!" Rainbow added "Especially in the Battle against the Meany MC Meany Cheesy legged Changelings!" Pinkie Pie giggled "You deserve Applejack...for saving Angle from the scary Timberwolves" Fluttershy admitted "You saved me with the others when I was captured by those Vile Ruffian Diamons Dogs!" Rarity added "Technically you saved yourself Rare" Applejack corrected "But you pushed aside your Apple Business to help me.." Rarity replied "Why are we talking when she should start blowing?" Pinkie asked Applejack smiled and drew a breath she closed her eyes, for a moment she felt all her troubles melt away ; Apple Farming, Winter, Death, Pain..even the Dreams... Applejack blew softly, the fiery golden flames whisked and disappeared leaving only a trail of smoke floating into the air and out of the stained glass window at the side of it... It has begun....she is now Sixteen.....it has begun...it has begun...... It...has...begun... Author's Note Did I do good? I think I did pretty crappy DX Hope you liked this Crappy Chapter A.F Chapter ThreeThis Chapter is dedicated to Auntie Christine who had joined the stars with many others... -----------------Daughter Of War------------------- Darkness, that's all he saw and felt, a cold breeze blew onto his pelt, he snarled at the cold fingers of the wind grabbing his pelt and dragging him further into the Darkness. He could still remember the laughing face of her, he could still remember how he failed to protect her... He lowered his head and felt the rivers of tears fall down once more, the white glittering tears glowed dimly in the Darkness, the creature wept, he couldn't remember what day, year, hour, week, it was...time wasn't right in the world he was trapped in.. He failed her, he failed her all those years ago, he was supposed to Protect her, Protect! But he failed, the Queen took her away, and The Lord punished him for failing... He deserved it all, her laughing face, her emerald green eyes, her golden hair.... was nothing but a memory.... -----------------Daughter Of War------------------- Applejack smiled as she saw the fading smoke disappear, the waves of the grey and white air flicked and swished in the room, confetti was scattered along the wooden floor, Pinkie Pie giggled and clapped loudly as Applejack blew out her candles. Twilight smiled and trotted along the room and pushed over another cart, this time, filled with a enormous present pile. Applejack widened her eyes, the boxes of multicolour towered over her, casting a shadow over her and her friends. Applejack slowly gulped and pressed forward to the massive mountain of presents... "OOOOOOOOO PICK THAT ONE-NO THAT ONE-TO YOU'RE RIGHT-TO THE RIGHT APPLEJACK SILLY!" Pinkie Pie giggled while giving Applejack hoof motions, pointing to a large pink and orange stripped box with a big red bow. Applejack smiled and slowly grabbed the Box and pulled it from the pile, she looked up to see a fast motion of falling presents, Applejack shoved the Box she was holding as a shield, the presents bounced merrily off and landing randomly. "That's ah lot of presents girls" Applejack gasped "Well there not ALL from us, Lyra, Bon Bon, Octavia, and Vinyl came around with presents...come to think of it....where are they?" Twilight admitted "LET'S CRACK UP THE TUNES!" Shouted a voice With a large BOOM the door swung open Applejack came face to face with a white coloured unicorn with red and black glasses and spiky blue mane and tail.. "Vin-" Applejack began "BRING IN THE WUBS!" Vinyl ordered The door swung open once more, revealing Lyra and Bon Bon. Bon Bon is a cream coloured earth pony with a dark blue and pink stripes mane and tail, her blue eyes were sparkling with annoyance and 'why do I drag myself into this?' Kind of sign. Lyra pushed a large DJ set, Vinyl smiled and raced over to the DJ set and jumped into the air and forward rolled, before landing perfectly on the wooden floor. Applejack didn't have time to say anything because... "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Vinyl cheered The DJ Pony smiled and grabbed out a large orange and green disc and placed it, she placed her hoof on the buttons and started to move the sound up to 'Danger High Level!' Applejack placed her right hoof on her hat, and braced herself, unfortunately it didn't work and Applejack was blasted by the loud sound waves of the DJ. Applejack gritted her teeth and closed her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her back, she bit her lip and heaved herself up, she opened her eyes to see her cake in front of her once more. Applejack frowned, she lofted her hoof and pushed the cart away, it came back again. She pushed it aside once more, it just kept coming back, this lasted for about five minutes. "What the hay?" Applejack frowned "It's not nice pushing away you're party guests is it?" Asked a voice Applejack frowned and looked closer to her candles of the cake, the white candles were glowing with blue and white fire, and the tip of the candle was brown. "Discord" Applejack rolled her eyes With a flash of white the God Of Chaos reappeared in his mix-matched glory, he yelped and plugged his ears at the loud sound waves of the DJ. Discord smiled and clicked his talons, with a flash of white Discord had a set of earmuffs in his talons. Sighing Applejack rolled her eyes and stomped her hoof impatiently and watched Discord placed the earmuffs on his head. "HEY DON'T FIGHT THE MUSIC!" Vinyl shouted Discord shrugged and clicked his talons, a large wall made of jello appeared blocking out Vinyl's rude comments, that are to rude to write. "Now Applejack I heard it was you're birthday!" Discord smiled "Yah it is now-" Applejack began "Oooooooh this is sooooo good! I haven't seen a Daughter Of War in AGES!" Discord thought "Ooo my voice sounds cool! Hello HelloHello Piiigsssss Innnnnn Spaceeeeee" Discord laughed "Discord!" Applejack shouted "Yes?" Discord replied Applejack gritted her teeth and stomped her orange hoof on the wooden floor, she fixed her green gaze on Discord, who, was sniggering.. "What in Apples name do you want from meh!" Applejack snarled "Oh I'm just here to give you a birthday present my dear!" Discord smiled "Wha-" Applejack began With a flash of pink Discord teleported to Applejack's side he held a large old brown box, with a golden wolf seal on top. Applejack lifted her eyebrows and gazed at Discord, unsure if this is a prank or a present "Hey it's a real present!" Discord laughed Applejack sighed and gently took the box off form Discord's mix-matched arms. She sighed and slowly opened the box to reveal...... A jar of Pickles, one lone pickle. Applejack stood silently and cursed under her breath, she fallen for Discord's tricks again. "Now I know it doesn't look good by appearance!" Discord smiled He flashed over to Applejack's right. "But it's a magical pickle!" Discord added "Magical? Y'all need to get your brain back Discord because yah ain't foolin me!" Applejack snarled Discord sighed and clicked his talons, the jello wall slowly disappeared and turned into a large wooden box, the box that held Applejack's yellow and red sword.. "Dah hay?! That's stealing rights Discord!" Applejack snarled "Nah Applejack I'm just saying use your magical pickle on what you really...and I mean really want the most....last time I gave one of these baby's Hercules wished to be a god....never ends well when you wish for that..." Discord grumbled, looking at his paw "Who the hay is Hercules?" Applejack asked Discord looked up and smiled, with a flick of his tail the large wooden box disappeared back to Applejack's room. Discord slithered over to Applejack's head and shrinked himself and hopped onto the pickle jars top. "You will soon know Applejack! But remember what you really want!" Discord laughed With a click of his talons, he teleported away, leaving both a confused Applejack and a lonely magical pickle... "APPLEJACK COME ON SILLY YOU'VE GOTTA OPEN THE PRESENTS!" Pinkie Pie shouted, over the loud sound waves. "Ima comin Sugarcube Ima comin!" Applejack laughed Quickly the orange mare lifted up her tail and placed the pickle jar inside her golden tail, it quickly disappeared under all the yellow fur. Applejack smiled and rushed over to Pinkie Pie, the massive pile of presents grew larger and larger. Applejack gasped and slides and knocked right into Pinkie Pie, who dropped her cupcake onto Rainbow Dash's mane... All hay broke lose.. Rainbow Dash laughed and grabbed a massive pie and threw it right into Fluttershy's mane, who squeaked and threw her cupcake softly at Rarity, who gasped and fainted onto the 'Drama Chair'. Vinyl smiled and threw her punch at Lyra, who laughed and threw a muffin, which Derpy flew in a ate. Applejack watched as the crossed-eyed mare held a large machine gun and pulled the trigger which sent out large muffins. "RUN!" Applejack warned Rainbow Dash gasped and flew straight into Applejack, both tumbled and flew straight into the wall. Applejack narrowed her eyes and heaved herself up in a weird battle stance. "Rainbow y'all take the right!" Applejack ordered "Since when did you give out orders?" Rainbow scoffed "Since I was a little filly-" Applejack began, but was cut off by Pinkie Pie's cupcake bomb. "DIVE!" Applejack ordered Both mares dived sideways, the cupcake exploded into a large mixture of chocolate syrup and cream. Lyra and Bon Bon were throwing sweet's at Vinyl, who was just throwing large amounts of cupcakes, until Derpy shot out a golden muffin and made Vinyl fly into the mountain of presents. "FOR CARROTS!" Fluttershy screamed, holding a large carrot knife "If you don't mind.." Fluttershy added shyly Applejack watched as Fluttershy dodged the missiles of Muffins and leap into the air and roll forwards, with a 'epp!' Fluttershy brought down her carrot knife onto the muffin machine. It exploded into thousands of muffins, Applejack raised her hoof up to block the thousands of burnt muffins falling onto her face. Rainbow shrugged and opened her mouth, Pinkie grabbed thousands of muffins and started to throw them into her mouth, Lyra and Bon Bon were laughing and throwing muffin at each other playfully. Rarity was still in 'Drama Mode', Twilight was helping Vinyl up. Applejack ran up to Fluttershy, who was helping Derpy up and brushing the dust off her mane. "How in Equestria's name did ya do that Sugarcube?" Applejack asked Fluttershy squeaked and hid herself behind her mane and mumbled something to Derpy, who nodded and flew out of the window. Fluttershy smiled as turned to Applejack. "I planned where her weak spot would be Applejack..." Fluttershy admitted softly.. "That's good techniques! The way you did a forward roll and battle cry was amazing!" Applejack smiled "...FLUTTERSHY!" Rainbow screamed Fluttershy squeaked and leapt into the air, Rainbow Dash was staggering by the soft burnt marks of the muffins... "THAT.WAS.AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash shouted "Can you do that again?" Rainbow Dash asked "I-I'm sorry Rainbow...I-I only did it because...I..I.." Fluttershy squeaked "It's ok .....but that was....just....just...WOW!" Rainbow gasped Fluttershy squeaked and backed away and ran over to Vinyl, Applejack rolled her eyes and gazed at Rainbow Dash. "What?" Rainbow asked "Y'all shouldn't go asking for ponies who can so things only when they can Rainbow!" Applejack growled "Yeah...whatever!" Rainbow rolled her eyes.. "C'mon we gotta clean up tha mess before Pinkie Pie decides to do a Pie War..." Applejack added Rainbow shuddered... -----------------Daughter Of War------------------- Fluttershy didn't want anybody to follow her, she gazed behind the confetti and muffin filled room, smiling she raced down the stairs and flew out of the door, the grass flicked and wished softly by the soft gusts of wind she made. Fluttershy sighed and remembered the muffin machine, it was so easy, why didn't everypony else see the weak spot? Applejack seemed to be the only one who took the fight seriously... Fluttershy sighed and landed softly, she pushed the red door open to reveal a small room filled with millions of animals and birds.. Fluttershy smiled and walked towards the small white bunny, who was tapping his foot impatiently. Angel was his name, Fluttershy's loyal grumpy demanding cute bunny pet. Fluttershy sighed as the bunny pushed the large cooking book in her face. "Now Angel.." Fluttershy began.. Angel thrust the book more, Fluttershy sighed and walked to the kitchen.. Discord frowned, he hated watching Fluttershy being pushed over like that, he smirked and clicked his talons and paw together and gazed at Angel hungrily... "Get ready for a whole month of chaos little bunny....get ready..." Discord laughed.. Author's Note Please note....Fluttershy's story will be revealed maybe after this story...is she either Athena or Hera? I might have to think while doing this story Hope you liked this crappy chapter A.F Chapter FourThis Chapter is dedicated to my friend Robert Allen, who stood by me even when winning is impossible ----------------------Daughter Of War-------------------- Applejack smiled, she rubbed her hoof gently on the bronze-made apple, the present Big Mac gave her. It glowed dimly in the dark room, her bedroom, Applejack shuddered at the memory of Pinkie Pie at Applejack's party. "PIE WAR!!!" The party mare yelled. Applejack smiled as she recalled Rainbow Dash zooming out of the room quickly, obviously afraid of the last Pie War she'd been through, what happened was Pinkie Pie had a large Sniper filled with blueberry juice and cream, Pinkie Pie was high in the trees of the EverFree Forest. Rainbow Dash wasn't lucky as much as Applejack, she was squirted and cream shot filled to the max, she even collapsed and said 'Uncle!'... But at the party it was far worse, not only did Pinkie Pie declare another Pie War, the two fillies Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake, ended up using there magical/flying abilities to ambush and totally pwn Rainbow Dash... Applejack was very lucky in fact, so lucky she even tossed herself out of the window accidentally and not even get a scratch on her fur, she was even followed by Lyra and Bon Bon, who themselves were lucky as well... Applejack smiled and slowly snapped out of her memories... Slowly she heaved herself off her bed and placed the bronze apple onto her brown Stetson, she frowned, she could still remember what Discord gave her and what he said.. "Remember Applejack use it when you really...and I mean really need it..." Discord's words reminded her "Hey I did not say that!" Discord yelled, and kicked Applejack's head, she growled and swatted the misty Discord away. Applejack sighed and walked over to her large wooden box, she slowly opened it with a soft creeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk, Applejack frowned as she gazed at the empty box. "What in tha hay?" Applejack asked herself. Applejack dived her hoof into the box and tried to find her missing sword, it wasn't there, but a small soft blue and white striped peace of clothing was hooked into Applejack's hoof. Frowning Applejack slammed the box shut and trotted over to the bedroom door. Carefully she opened it with a soft click! and quietly snuck out of the room. Someone better have a good explanation for stealin and sneaking around MY Farm! Applejack thought, as she clenched the cloth in her hoof.. Flim and Flam...those two mother buckers Applejack thought grimly Applejack clenched her teeth as the memory of the two unicorns smashed into her face, one day on Cider Season, when Rainbow Dash demanded Cider, two unicorns came out of the plains and showed them there machine called the Super Squeeze Cider Maker, Applejack and family had to battle the two brothers in a Cider Battle, whoever made the most has the farm. At first the two brothers won, but as Applejack and family began to leave, Flim and Flam were surrounded by flicks of angry ponies who wanted refunds.... Thus they lost the battle and they fled, nopony heard or seen them ever since... Until tonight... Applejack breathed quietly and crouched down, eager not to be heard. Applejack slowly crept down the dusty stairs and enter the large living room, Applejack smiled as she gazed at the old Photo of the Apple Family Reunion that happened just a few months ago... "Applejack!" Whispered a voice Applejack widened her eyes and spun around to face Apple Bloom, bags were under the Filly's eyes, the eyes themselves were sparking with curiosity and exhaustion. "Apple Bloom?" Applejack whispered The filly nodded and stumbled, quick as a flash Applejack caught the filly before she could even hit the floor. "W-why are ya up sis?" Apple Bloom asked between the large yawns Applejack smiled and lifted the filly up with ease, she slowly trotted over the the large green couch and placed the tired filly onto it, Applejack smiled as she gazed at her yawning sister. "I'm only goin out to catch a robber sis.." Applejack whispered "Oh....that's a great new idea for Cutie Mark Cru-" Apple Bloom began Applejack watched as the young filly collapse and fall asleep, Applejack smiled and pulled up a large yellow blanket and heaved it onto the little filly.. "Rest little sis...may the new sword sharpen you next mornin" Applejack whispered Slowly Applejack crouched and quietly snuck into the kitchen and opened the large brown door quitley, Applejack froze as a soft whine entered her ears, she slowly turned around to face a small sleeping brown and white coloured girl collie, she was pawing the air as if she was running. Applejack smiled and turned to face the door once more, with quite hoofs she slowly heaved the door open, Applejack clenched her teeth and rushed out of the kitchen and into the darkness of Equestria... With the dangerous set of red eyes following her... ----------------------Daughter Of War-------------------- "Are you sure this is a good idea Flim?" Flam asked nervously, gazing at the large golden and red coloured sword. "Of course!" Flim soothed, spinning the sword gently with a hunger gleaming in his eyes, ever since Applejack and her family beat the two brothers in a Cider Battle, they were well....Poor...they had no money, home, food, water, anything! Both brothers were in a dark drippy and smelly alley way, there home, there only home that provided them and protected them from any dangers they met. Nopony really knew they still remained here... "Besides! With this sword we will be rich! Rich!" Flim added "Rich..." Flam said dreamily. "And once rich we will be able to bye the farm easily for Applejack and cast them put of Ponyville just like US!" Flim laughed coldly Flam smiled and joined his brother, both finally have a chance for a act of vengeance of the Apple Family, and they were going to get it... "HAY YOU SON OF A APPLE BUCKING! DOOFIN! IDIOTIC! PAIR OF TWITS!" Swore a voice Both brothers spun around and gasped, Applejack towered upon them, her golden mane and tail glowed dimly in the darkness of he night, her emerald green eyes glowed brightly in anger. Her brown Stetson was almost hidden, except the shining apple badge the glowed softly by the moon above. Both brothers exchanged glances, they smiled and burst out laughing, when Flim finally caught his breath he slowly let out a sly smile and unsheathed the golden red coloured sword, it glowed dimly by the soft moonlight. "Now Applejack we both know here you won't make It out in a nice shape whole I have your pretty sword.." Flim cooed Applejack narrowed her eyes, Nobody and I mean nobody, steals from the Apple Family... "Come and say that to my face you TWIT!" Applejack spat Flim snarled and charged, Applejack growled and reared up and buckled her hoofs, without a second thought she charged. "GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Applejack yelled Flim slashed, a bright gleam of yellow flashes in the night, Applejack ducked, quickly she rolled out of the way, gritting her teeth she spun around and flung her hoofs into the air, she hit contact with Flim's face, he gasped and was flung across the alley. Flam gasped as the bright sword was flung into the air. Flam was frozen the the spot, his eyes widened at Applejack's newfound agility and battle-strenght, for the first time in his life, Flam thought he could actually die from this no-armed mare... Applejack crouched and spring into the air quickly she spun forwards in a summer-sault and flicked her mane to her sword, the golden mane flicked and gripped onto the sword tightly, Applejack thrust herself forwards and landed onto Flam, his eyes widened in fear. Applejack growled and placed her sword onto Flam's neak, sweat dripped down the colts face, his eyes were widening in fear. "W-what are you?" Flam gasped Applejack narrowed her eyes and pressed the sword harder, blood trickled down Flam's neak, he gasped in pain and fear, his whole body shook. "You ever...and I mean EVER steal from me or any other pony y'all be sorry! Consider yourself lucky unlike y'all brother over there!" Applejack snarled flicking her tail to the bleedin Flim "I-" Flam began "DO YOU PROMISE!" Applejack snarled Flam didn't answer, he gulped in fear and shook madly, blood poured down his neak faster. Applejack narrowed her eyes and pressed the sword harder, Flam yelped in pain. "DO YOU PROMISE NEVER TO STEAL OR RETURN TO THIS TOWN?!" Applejack roared "I-I promise!" Flam gulped. "Ah thought so..." Applejack snarled Quick as a flash Applejack heaved up Flam and shoved him over to his brother, who was finally heaving himself up onto his hoofs, both colts ran into the darkness, Flim creanded his neak and turned to face Applejack while running. "What are you!" Flim spat, as he disappeared into the darkness, his words echoed throughout the alley way, Applejack sighed and slowly grabbed the swords sheath. What are you?! the words echoed through Applejack's mind. Sighing the mare began to trot back to Sweet Apple Acres, the words still echoed through her mind, new voices began to shout and sooth ARMA! NO! I had to do it Ares... SHE WAS ONLY A CHILD! She would of killed us all... I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU HERA....NEVER! The words buzzed through Applejack's mind she shook her head and pressed forwards, the stones slowly turned to grass, the buildings slowly turned to trees, Applejack smiled as she saw the large red barn and brown house of the horizon.. What are you? The words echoed through her mind.. "Ah wish ah knew.." Applejack mumbled, as she tred through the darkness... "THEN CONSIDER YOU'RE WISH MY COMMAND!" Laughed a voice Applejack spun around to face a flash of white light, Applejack crouched and snarled. Discord hovered over, flapping his mix-matched wings softly. "What do yah mean mah wish?!" Applejack snarled Discord rolled his eyes, he sighed and shook his head. "The magical pickle is still in you're tail remember?" Discord reminded Applejack widened her eyes, slowly she lifted her tail up, a large jar slowly fell down and smash onto the floor, green liquid traveled threw the lines of the tiled alley floor. Applejack gasped as she gazed at a large thin green pickle. "What! Oh come on! Applejack do you even know how LONG it takes to make even ONE MAGICAL PICKLE!" Discord snarled, while waving his arms madly "Ah didn't realize the varmit was still in there!" Applejack replied "Well sorry Applejack for my outburst!" Discord rolled his eyes Applejack rolled her eyes and trotted forwards head first, the mare tried her best to ignore Discord's telaporting "Hey stop being a moody Muffin!" Discord yelled "MUFINS!" Derpy yelled in the distance Applejack rolled her eyes and pressed forwards, she clenched her teeth hard, she was trying not to poke Discord in the eye or even attack him with her sword. "Welll....." Discord began "I better finish that wish of yours!" Discord finished while laughing madly "Wha-" Applejack began Quick as a flash Discord snapped his talons, a large cardboard box floated in front of Applejack, frowning Applejack opened the box, only to be hit by a large jet of green dust, Applejack coughed and swatted the dust away. Discord watched as the sleeping powder took its hold on Applejack's mind and body. He smiled mischievously. Applejack blinked, the entire world started to blur, she staggered, gritting her teeth she pressed towards Discord, the wind blew softly against her mane. The world started to disappear, the trees dissolved into nothing but mist. Applejack staggered and fell face first into the grassy floor. Discord smiled and snatched up the brown Stetson off the Mare's head, smiling he chucked the hat away, and watched it fly by the soft winds that took it. Applejack felt her eyes droop, lifting her head she gazed at a large towering beast, it's blood red eyes sparkled in a mischievous matter, gritting her teeth Applejack opened her mouth. Only for her eyes to shut tight, and her entire body shut down, Applejack slowly felt her control over her entire body, slip away, leaving her in the darkness of her own mind... In her dreams... Author's Note Crappy chapter....crap crap crap crap crappppp DX I suck at these things...Ph and I'm sorry of its a bit Shortwr than the lasts ones... DX Hope you liked it... A.F Chapter FiveThis Chapter is dedicated to my dog Elise, who will forever be loyal and honest even though she cannot speak ----------------Daughter Of War-------------- "Arma....." ARMA ARMA ARMA .... Applejack opened her eyes, but closed them shut as the bright light scorched into her green eyes, gritting her teeth, she opened them up once more, she blinked as she gazed at soft whisks of grass right in front of her. Lifting her head Applejack looked around to find herself in a bright forest. "Where in apple's name am ah?" Applejack gasped, as she gazed at the surroundings. She was in a glorious green forest, the trees were a strong colour of green and brown, the squrrile's leapt on tree to tree, and the birds flew softly, not making any sound. The soft wind pressed against Applejack's and the tree leaf's fur. Applejack pricked up her ears and turned her gaze to a small thin stream. It was sparkling in a bright blue colour, with white streaks flowing down. Little fish hopped out of the stream now and then.. Blinking, Applejack placed her hoof onto her mane, her hatless mane. Gasping Applejack looked around to find her brown Stetson. Applejack widened her eyes, her brown Stetson was gone. Her present from Big Mac was gone. Narrowing her eyes, Applejack heaved herself up, her whole body screeched in pain. Applejack staggered and quickly leaned against a tree. "Ah feel like ah took on a dragon singled hoofed!" Applejack grumbled to herself. Taking deep breaths, Applejack pushed herself from the tree and stood still, her legs screeched in pain. Gritting her teeth, Applejack walked forwards. With every step her muscles screeched in pain, telling her to stop. Ah ain't giving up...Ah have to find somepony.. Applejack thought, lifting her gaze to the tall trees that towered over her. Applejack stopped, she gazed at the tall trees, the large and thick branches tempting her to clime to the top. Applejack walked towards the tree, lifting her hoof she grabbed the first branch of the tree. SNAP! Applejack widened her eyes, she gazed at the torn branch, she only just grabbed it...and it just snapped. Applejack frowned, her whole body screeched in pain, but why did she easily rip off the branch when she could barley lift a hoof without passing out of pain and exhaustion? This is gettin weirder and weirder..Applejack thought Applejack shook her head and pressed forwards, throwing the branch away, as the orange mare pressed forwards, the small bramble bushes brushed against her fur, as if they tried to pull her back to the forest. Applejack swatted the brambles gently with her soft golden coloured tail. "Ah you're awake!" Laughed a voice With a flash of white a tall mix-matched creature appeared, he was wearing a Sombrero on his hat, and maracas were in his mix-matched arms. His toothy grin made Applejack grit her teeth in anger. "Discord! Ah shouldn't knew yeh would sprew up trouble!" Applejack growled Discord rolled his eyes and snapped his talons, with a flash of green, Applejack found herself sitting in a large pillow-made couch, in her hoofs was a large bucket of popcorn. Applejack rolled her eyes and chuckled the bucket at Discord, which just grabbed a baseball bat and swung, and hit the popcorn bucket, making it fly into the air and explode into fireworks Applejack rolled her eyes, and crossed her hoofs. "Cheer up Applejack! I'm just granting you're wish!" Discord smiled "Ah wish you would leave me alone then!" Applejack growled "Sorry AJ but that wasn't the wish you said!" Discord replied Applejack growled, Discord frowned and clicked his talons, with a flash of pink, Applejack herself standing on the ground once more, Applejack raised here eyebrow as she gazed at a large golden and red coloured sword. "Are ya the one eh sent Flim and Flam stealin?" Applejack growled "Nope! I actually didn't even know who even stole this baby..." Discord smiled, hooking the sword into his talons and gazing at the sword...fearfully? Applejack sighed and trotted up to Discord, who gazed at her smugly, rolling her eyes Applejack snatched the sword right out of Discord's talons. "Tell me where are we...before I cut yeh head off!" Applejack growled "Okay! Sheesh!" Discord grumbled "Well" Applejack growled, unsheathing her sword. "We are in the forest of memories!" Discord grumbled, crossing his arms and flicking his tail annoyed "I never get to have any fun.." Discord added softly Applejack rolled her eyes and pressed her sword gently on Discord's chest, who yelped and widened his eyes in surprise. "What do you mean by 'Forest Of Memories?'" Applejack growled Discord gulped. "Tell me!" Applejack snarled, clenching her teeth in anger "Ok ok ok ok! When you wished you wanted to know who you were, I made you fall asleep so I can bring you here peacefully!" Discord replied "Why here?" Applejack growled. Discord rolled his eyes and lifted his arms and shrugged "Forest Of Memories...I think the title says it all.." Discord sighed "And? Why bring me here?" Applejack asked "I just said that! To make your wish come true!" Discord rolled his eyes Applejack blinked, slowly she lowered her sword, Discord gasped, holding his throat tight. Applejack shook her head and sheathed her sword. Discord smiled, Applejack rolled her eyes and kicked Discord. "Ow!" Discord yelped "If yeh took meh here for a prank a'll kill yeh!" Applejack growled "Sooooooo you trust me?" Discord asked, smiling mischievously "Yeh....for now.." Applejack smirked Discord whooped and lifted his mix-matched wings and darted into the air, Applejack frowned as she felt a weird tug on her hoof. Looking down, Applejack widened her eyes, a long tight rope was tightened around her hoof. Without a warning, Applejack's hoof was tugged, and the orange mare was dragged into the air. Applejack widened her eyes, quickly she grabbed her sheathed sword and held it tight. Eager not to lose it "DISCORD!" Applejack yelled, as the clouds began to grow bigger and bigger. "Ooooh I love this part!" Discord happily thought out-loud, ignoring Applejack's rude comments. Discord dived, Applejack widened her eyes, gripping onto her sword even more tightly, Applejack yelled out rude words to rude to write down.. But I'll write them in... "SON OF A BUCKING IDIOTIC NO GOODER, WHEN I GET MY HOOVES ON YEH I'M GUNNA MAKE SURE YEH WON'T TURN TO STONE BUT YOU'LL GET KICKED BY MY BUCKING HOOVES!" Applejack yelled Discord widened his eyes, smirking he clicked his talons, with a flash of white, Applejack found herself standing right next to a large pool. Applejack gazed at Discord angrily. "This is the Pool Of Answers! Just look inside and wish what you want to know and it'll show you the answer!" Discord smiled Applejack growled, spinning around she lifted her hind-legs, but she forgot how weak she was, pushing her hind-legs, a soft laughing broke out, Applejack frowned and tumbled over, landing face first into the dust. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How hilarious! That might of even tickled me!" Discord laughed Applejack heaved herself up and charged at Discord, who, clicked his talons and teleported to the side, while, Applejack crashed head first into a large boulder and fall face first once more. "Wow...just...wow.." Discord smiled Applejack felt a warm liquid pour down her face, lifting her hoof up she touched her forehead, she winched in pain, lowering her hoof she gazed at the blood. The bright red blood. "This is just...well....pathetic..you can't even get up...no wonder your pony father died by those TimberWolves" Discord smiled, grinning as his plan began to function properly. Applejack narrowed her eyes, gritting her teeth, she pressed her hooves on the grassy floor, her muscles screeched in pain. Applejack breathed, closing her eyes Applejack lifted herself up... The Pool shimmered in front of her, images and memories shimmered and sparkled in the Pool, voices echoed thorough Applejack's head. Her heart was being torn apart by the many emotions that the memories held. In War there ain't many lover sweetheart.... Son of Arma! That's it! What Arma? ARMA NO It had to be done.. Applejack snapped her eyes open, Discord widened his eyes as a fiery red aura surrounded Applejack. Gritting her teeth Applejack unsheathed her sword, it glowed brightly by the warm shine of the sun. Discord gapped in awe and horror... Applejack smirked. "Ah'm Applejack....and i'm gunna kick your ass Discord.." Applejack snarled "........Oh Cotten candy.." Discord gasped, though he was smiling on the inside...his plan was working...just.... Perfectly Author's Note BAM....eyup that was the most stupid idiotic Chapter I have wrote in my life...I am ashamed I have wrote this down Anyways...What is Discord's Plan? How the heck did Applejack glow red?....And who is Applejack REALLY?? Find out in the next chapter A.F Chapter SixThis Chapter is dedicated to the band called Imagine Dragon's, who inspired me with the song 'Radioactive' ------------------Daughter Of War------------------ Now Rage is a very powerful emotion, Revenge is even more powerful, these both and VERY dangerous if used darkly. When insulted we would feel our Rage build up...maybe Revenge too. Sometimes we walk away and try to calm down, it doesn't always work, most times, we charge head first and get ourselves in a fight. With Rage and Revenge on our side...you could proberbly win.. But Applejack's Rage? Well....lets just say...when angry? You're fucked. Rage burned wildly in Applejack's heart, a horrible taste of bitter Revenge burned even more. Narrowing her eyes, Applejack reared onto her hind legs and started to advance on Discord, who, was sweating in panic. Applejack smirked as the God Of Chaos clicked his talons... Nothing happened, Discord widened his eyes and gazed at his talons. "Wha-" Discord began SLICE!!! In one quick motion, Applejack raced up and swung her sword, blood splattered against the green grass. Discord clutched his cheek and roared in pain, staggering as he did so. Applejack watched, clearly amused at the sight of the God's pain. Clutching her sword even tighter, Applejack let out a blood chilling roar. "RARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Applejack roared Discord yelped and ran, Applejack smirked, charging after the God, but, out of the corner of the mare's eyes, Applejack saw a floating knife, speeding at her. Smirking Applejack skidded and spun around and charged at the knife. As if time slowed down, Applejack ducked and skidded on her knees right under the knife, lifting her sword she sliced the knife. Clink! The knife had no chance, as soon as the golden blades of Applejack's sword touched the silver, it snapped in half, as if it wanted to die and not get fully PWND by the full power of Applejack's sword. Discord gasped, Applejack smirked. "Ya'll have to do better than that DICKCORD!" Applejack yelled That did it, Discord let out a roar of rage and charged, Applejack gladly returned her own roar of rage as she charged, Discord clicked his talons, with a flash of pink, a large brown and golden coloured sword appeared in Discord's paw and claw. Applejack smirked and gained speed, Discord charged lifting his sword high, eager to cut Applejack's head off. Then...unspeakable happened... Applejack ducked, and quickly knelt onto the floor and skidded right under Discord, Discord widened his eyes in surprise. Applejack smirked and quickly sprung up, in a quick motion, Applejack leapt onto the God's back and sliced his wing, blood poured down. Discord roared in pain and buckled, Applejack smirked and placed one of her hooves on Discord's Pegasus wing, while the other, was on her sword. Applejack smirked and gabbed on the Pegasus wing of Discord and pulled it up, as if on command Discord's bat wing followed. Slowly Discord found himself flying, and also, for once had no control and couldn't do anything to stop Applejack. Discord whined in panic as Applejack ordered his wings to go higher. Clouds slowly brushed against them, Applejack smiled, Discord whimpered. The she let go. Discord widened his eyes in surprise, he gasped as he watched Applejack free-fall to her doom, narrowing his eyes he scoffed and dived down to save her. Applejack smirked. Quick as a flash she swung her sword, blood poured out once more, Discord roared in pain as he saw his deer horn fall down to the grassy floor. Discord gasped as he saw Applejack free fall to him and grabbed his remaining horn. Applejack lowered her head to Discord's ear smiling in victor as she did so. "Nopony...and I mean nopony...mess with Applejack" Applejack whispered Applejack closed her eyes and braced herself to hit the ground, Discord yelled as he began to fall helplessly, Applejack gripped harder onto his wing and sword at the same time. Closing her eyes, Applejack felt her fury melt away, leaving her regretting and wondering what she had just done.. BOOOOOOOOM ----------------Daughter Of War---------------- Now people and Ponies alike say God's can't be killed, but they can fade away. But Applejack did something nopony else could, she nearly and I mean nearly killed Discord. Eyup Discord; God of Lies, Disharmony, Chaos, Pranks, Jokes, Imagination, had nearly died....... Or was it Discord? Now Applejack couldn't believe it either when she woke up from that hit in the earth. She couldn't even believe how she survived it to.. She couldn't believe...that she was fooled.....and was sent somewhere...she wasn't supposed to return...EVER AGAIN Dust flew around, the scorched marks of the giant crater crawled up and eat the green grass of the forest, animals had hid long ago. The golden and red coloured sword of Applejack, laid in the middle, untouched, never broken...not even a scratch. Two bodies laid beside the sword, one was a orange coloured pony with a beautiful golden mane of the sun's rays itself. The other, was a mix-matched creature, Lion, Eagle, Snake, Dragon, Bull, Pegasus, Bat, Goat. You name it, it has those body parts and appearance. The orange pony, had barley a scratch on her, the small sparks of red rage slowly faded, the mix-matched creature, was bloodied, cut open, and near to death. Applejack groaned, blinking open her eyes she gasped, quickly she ran over to Discord, who, was gasping and coughing out blood. "Discord! What are yeh? How are? W-WHAT HAPPENED?" Applejack gasped Now I know what you're thinking 'YOU JUST BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF DISCORD!' But remember the mysterious red glow around Applejack? That was known as Blind Rage, a common power used in battles. The red glow would make Applejack fight in ways she wouldn't expect, but at a price; not remembering what had happened.. Got it now? Good? ON WITH THE STORY! The God Of Chaos blinked open his red eyes, lifting his head slowly he let out a insane smile, his eyes flashed green, Applejack gasped as the God's fur began to melt and form a rock hard, black coloured fur. The bleeding wings slowly turned from beautiful purple and blue, to glassy sticky bug wings. Applejack gasped and backed away, a large column of green fire erupted and circled the shaping creature. Applejack shielded her eyes. When the light slowly faded, Applejack lowered her hoof and gasped, a large black coloured horse with murky green hair, eyes, and tail towered above her. Her green eyes glowed in hatred and hunger. Her mane flicked softly by the soft winds that brushed against her, the glassy wings buzzed and twitched. "Why hello Applejack" The creature laughed "Chrysalis!" Applejack snarled "Oh it's so nice to see you again.." Chrysalis smiled "Why the hay are yeh here? Where's Discord?" Applejack snarled, crouching in a attack position. The changeling laughed coldly, Applejack clenched her teeth. "Discord was never here Applejack it was all me...Discord is far away helping little 'King Sombra' rise from the dead....." Chrysalis laughed "Yeh lying! Discord was reformed by Fluttershy! Ah saw it 'appen!" Applejack snarled Chrysalis rolled her eyes, staggering, she circled around Applejack, smiling as she did so. "Discord was reformed...I just...took his mind and powers for a bit.." Chrysalis smiled. "Why be nice to meh when you could of killed meh?!" Applejack spat. "Why would i kill you Applejack?" Chrysalis asked. "Because you wanna rule Equestria!" Applejack hissed. "Applejack...i cant kill yeh....not when you have a prophecyahead of you.." Chrysalis smiled. Applejack striked, but the changeling merely laughed and dodged, Applejack stumbled and fell face first onto the crater floor. Chrysalis raised her head and laughed coldly to the skies above her. "What do yeh want from me!" Applejack growled, lifting herself up. Quick as a flash, Chrysalis striked and flipped Applejack over with ease, Applejack gasped and groaned in pain as the mare hit the crater's floor by her back. Chrysalis smiled and placed a large powerful hoof on Applejack's chest and held the orange mare down. Applejack struggled and bucked her hooves, but Chrysalis merely dodged them, never taking her green eyes off Applejack's. "At first I couldn't believe it myself...when I was at the wedding of that pathetic Shinning Armor and princess Cadence, I thought you were nothing but a stupid filthy EARHT PONY!" Chrysalis screamed. Pressing her hoof down tightly, Chrysalis watched as the orange mare grit her teeth in pain. The changeling queen smirked and lowered her head until she was nose to nose with Applejack. "It's weird...that a normal Earth Pony like you...could be the daughter of Ares...the god of WAR!" Chrysalis smiled. "Ah ain't a bloody daughter of War! Yah crazy you changeling biach!" Applejack snarled. "Oh but you are Applejack! Isn't it strange that you keep dreaming about Arma? Isn't it strange that you are always stubborn when ponies want to help?" Chryalis asked. "SHAD UP!" Applejack shouted. "NEVER! UNTIL I FULFIL MY GOAL!" Chyraliss screamed. Applejack froze, Chryalis smiled. "Oh now you're curious little Applejack?" Chryalis cooed "Shad up!" Applejack snarled, squirming once more. "Oh no Applejack...I won't 'Shad Up' I'm going to fulfil my role in your prophecy...and I'm going to play it well!" Chrysalis laughed "FUCK OFF!" Applejack snarled "It ain't nice to swear in front of the soon-to-be-Queen of Equestria!" Chrysalis hissed. "As long as I live an breath y'all never take Equestria! Biach!" Applejack growled, spitting in the Changeling's face. The Queen recoiled and Applejack quickly to her chance, using her last sap of strength, Applejack lifted the black hoof and kicked Chrysalis right in the face, the queen screamed and lightened her horn, Applejack rolled out of the way as the green energy blasted and wizzed above her. Quickly Applejack ran to her sword. "Oh no you don't!" Chrysalis screamed. With a smile Chrysalis lightened her horn once more and blasted, Applejack spun around but was to late, the large green beam hit her square on the chest, and Applejack was sent flying into the air. Chrysalis smiled and flapped her glassy wings and hovered over Applejack's sword, smiling she reached for it. But the sword merely glowed bright red and scorched the changelings hoof. Chrysalis screamed and staggered clutching her hoof in her other hoof. Applejack groaned and lifted her head, her vision blurred, but she was able to see Chrysalis's horn glow and heal her scorched hoof. Applejack felt her eyes droop...a eager command filled her mind. No! Ah can't give up now! Not when everypony will be in danger! Applejack thought Chrysalis slowly forced on her magic and the sword, slowly the green aura surrounded the sword, smiling Chrysalis hovered the sword by Applejack. Smiling Chrysalis placed the sword next to the pain-filled orange mare. Lowering her head Chrysalis whispered one sentence to the orange mare. "Good luck on Earth....Arma.." Chrysalis whispered, as her horn glowed emerald green. And with a flash of green and red, Applejack disappeared... Darkness, darkness everywhere. The cold whispers of the tortured souls filled the creatures ears, snarling he swatted them away with his hoof. The creature tried his best to make the trout red souls disappear..but they just kept coming, angrier and moaniner than the last time. The creature rolled his eyes and lifted himself from the cold icy floor. The creature smiled whe the souls moans began to dissaper from his ears. He was so close, to ruling his empire..But he failed. The creature remember with hate boiling in his heart, he remembered the falling green and purple dragon, the gleaming blue and white crystal heart falling from the sky. The pink idiotic lovey-Dover Alicorn seeing his heart away, the pitiful happy crystal ponies using there powers to destroy him.. But they failed, he was still alive, angrier than ever. The creature laughed, a cold insane laugh, the cold cells of the laugh echoed through his icy prison...Tiny whisps of green and purple engery formed and flowed out of the creatures eyes... CRACK The creature pricked up his ears hate and hope filled his soul, lifting his head he smiled, tiny shards of ice fell down his prison, his hellhole...was being destroyed. The creature could feel and taste his freedom, the cold voices of the tormented souls were finally departing... The creature-...no Sombra, ruler of Darkness and Hate, the true ruler of the Crystal Empire...was being free. Sombra laughed as the crack grew wider and wider, as the icy shards fell around him...as the feel of newfound freedom closed around him.. Sombra smiled..a evil cold smile, that could call your very spine.. "Seems like little Arma is going home...this is just perfect..the prophecy is coming little Arma..be prepared..." Sombra laughed.

Arma has returned, her powers will grow stronger by each day, not that she knows that she even had powers...yet.. The prophecy is whispering in go her dreams and reality, her sword will need to be sharper, her wits must stay with her. Her wisdom must not fail her. What is the prophecy you may ask? Dear reader I should not tell, for, few live to breath the prophecy to another, I however, was lucky. Arma has returned to the world she was born in, her breath is not gone yet so don't be to worried dear reader. Come, sit, and wait for Arma's eyes to reawaken when she decided to wake. My name? My you do ask a lot of question is it not? My dear reader my name is Athena. Ah so you have heard of me? Well then there will be no problems, yet. What? You ask of what is Arma's fate? My dear reader that is for the Fates and Fates alone to decide, I cannot hold the string of life and death, but, as I said before, Arma is fine... ... Applejack? Is that her name she was given long ago? Dare I say that is a strange yet familiar name- Applejack Danials? Beer?

Now watch dear reader, and follow Applejack in her new journey, both sadness and happiness will follow her as she wakes.. -----------------------Daughter Of War----------------- All were happy.. "Ares.." Whispered a voice The god sighed and unfolded his arms from his child and beloved, clenching his teeth he placed his hands onto his sword sheath and hooked his fingers around the hilt. "Now Ares there will be no violence, you know who will win" the voice scolded. Both Elizabeth and Arma stared at the figure before them, a beautiful lady with a soft silk dress flowing down and onto the hospital floor like a river of beauty. Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, she didn't like the way the women smiled and gazed at her baby in a frightened and angry sort of manner. Ares however, unsheathed his sword and pointed the sharp end right at the women's throat, Elizabeth gasped as a soft gleam of golden blood spilled from her neck, but, the women didn't even mind. "What do you want Hera?" Ares snarled, never taking his flaming eyes of the women. "Hera?" Elizabeth gasped, she had heard of the Greek gods, but the queen? Damn she was lucky to even hear or see her! "Yes dear Elizabeth" Hera smiled, the mother blinked, Hera only just gave her a warm happy smile. "Don't you even dare!" Ares snarled, pushing his sword harder, making more golden blood flow down. "Ares please!" Elizabeth begged "she means no harm!" "Yes Ares...please lower your sword, wouldn't want to disappoint your dear lady?" Hera whispered, smirking. Oh how Ares wanted to kick that damn bitches head off and feed it to Hades undead, oh how he wanted to slice her heart and throw it into the depths of Tartarus, oh how he wanted to kill her in multiple and horrible ways. But his love over his lover won over the war god, lowering his sword Hera began to walk over to Elizabeth, her eyes widening every second she stepped close. Ares narrowed his eyes, careful he sheathed his sword as he followed Hera to both his lover and child, and every second he had a dark feeling that Hera was up to something. "My dear, what is your child's name?" Hera asked, as she stepped at the side of Elizabeth's hospital bed. "Arma.." Elizabeth replied, feeling sick at the sight of Hera's nice eyes, those nice welcome eyes made Elizabeth's spine freeze up. "Arma...such a nice name.." Hera echoed. Elizabeth turned to Ares, mouthing 'I now regret this', but, Arma seemed to be fine with Hera, with her soft tiny little fingers she lifted her hand and, here the funny part, slapped Hera right on her nose. Silence in the room... Then a loud rumbling of laughter escaped Ares mouth, followed by Elizabeth and Arma's own laughs. Hera herself was speechless. Ares however, was laughing so hard he heard the distant rumbling of thunder in the beyond, Elizabeth had stopped as soon as she received another creepy nice glare from Hera. Ares kept on laughing still. "So fragile isn't she?" Hera asked, lifting her hands. "Yeah.." Elizabeth admitted, kissing her baby's forehead. "And defenceless without her mother, just like any other creature.." Hera added, her hand glowing white as snow. At this moment Ares, finally stopped laughing and froze, Hera's creepy smile grew wider by any second that passed. Without unsheathing his sword first, which he should have, Ares charged. Elizabeth lifted her head her once happy smile changed from happiness to horror, Hera's smile slowly turned from welcoming to anger. "I am sorry my dear, but neither of you can live" Hera sighed. The white flash brightened, Ares roared and blocked his eyes, screams echoed through the room, and the soft voice of crying filled the two immortals ears. The light slowly faded away, and Ares collapsed onto his knees, Hera sighed and began to exit the room, her work was done. "Elizabeth no.." Ares plainly said. The ashes of his lover sweat across the room like a wave of the cool water of the seas, the god of war clenched his fist, anger boiled inside him. "I had to do it Ares...without the mother Arma would die.." Hera sighed. "You killed Elizabeth in cold blood just so you could kill Arma? What kind of sick twisted bitch are you!" Ares snarled, heaving himself up and thrusting his face towards the goddess. "Ares I am really sorry but it had to be done!" Hera snarled back, her patience running thin. "IT WASN'T HER FAULT YOU COWARD BITCH!" Ares snarled. "ARMA WOULD OF KILLED US ALL!" Hera screamed. Arma however was still on the bed, throwing the soft ashes of her mother into the air like confetti, not that she knew that the ashes where her mother anyways... A soft giggle escaped Arma's lips and both Hera and Ares turned their heads to face the little girl, Hera lifted her hand at once determined to stop the prophecy from coming true. Ares clenched his teeth and threw himself in front of Arma, unsheathing his sword as he did so. "GET OUT OF THE WAY ARES!" Hera screamed. "GET OUT OF THE WAY OR I'LL DO IT BY FORCE!" The goddess added. "NEVER!" Ares snarled. "So be it.." Hera sighed. Quick as a flash the goddess snapped her fingers, a soft light shinned and Arma, while giggling, was lifting into the air by a soft colour of golden aura. "NO!" Ares shouted, charging at Hera. Hera rolled her eyes, snapping her fingers again Ares found himself surrounded by hundreds of cows, each blowing soft wind of anger from their nostrils, Ares could only watch as Hera spun little Arma around and around. "Strange that something so small can kill something so big.." Hera sighed. "No.." Ares snarled, charging at the first cow and slicing it's head clean open. "Goodbye little Arma..have sweet dreams.." Hera whispered. And in a bright flash of light, that could burn you eyes right out of you sockets, both Hera, and Arma disappeared... And Ares alone was left fighting the hundreds of cows, with anger and hatred building in his heart and maybe, maybe even sadness. Author's Note VERY SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT!

Chapter OneThis Chapter is dedicated to my friend Rachel Walker, who is now walking among the stars ----------------------------------Daughter Of War---------------------------------- She was floating, floating among the darkness of her own dreams....She didn't know how or where did the light came from, she only had the urge to follow it. Slowly the light grew bigger, bigger, and bigger. Until it finally opened into a new world... She slowly opened her eyes, blinking as the light shone into them. She let out a small giggle as a soft hand rubbed against her cheek. She looked up to face her mother, her oak-coloured eyes sparkling with happiness... "Where is she?" boomed a voice. She looked up, and let out a slight happy giggle as she gazed straight into the fiery red eyes of her father. He crossed his arms and gazed at his daughter. She was smiling, unaware of the powers he possessed.... "Ares...meet your daughter.." Elizabeth breathed... Ares let out a scoff and unfolded his arms, walked slowly to his daughter, her beautiful emerald green grass coloured eyes bore into his fiery flaming red ones... For a single moment, Ares felt he could collapse on his knees at the sight of his beautiful daughter... He shook his head and lifted his gaze to his exhausted wife... "You should rest" Ares commanded. Elizabeth lifted her brow, her eyes sparked in a mischievous manner. She smiled and lower her gaze to her daughter. "And what? Miss the bonding of Father and Daughter?" Elizabeth asked. Ares rolled his eyes and crossed his arms once more, his red eyes blazing with annoyance. "I know your the God Of War and stuff my love....but honestly...can't you give a little bit of your time to meet and bond with your daughter?" Elizabeth asked "In war there ain't many lovers sweetheart..." Ares grumbled. "Ah....but there isn't a War near us now is there?" Elizabeth asked. Ares grumbled and cursed under his breath as Elizabeth won the soft argument....He always hated losing, always... "Have you named her yet?" Ares asked. Elizabeth shook her head. "Would you like to name her Ares?" Elizabeth asked. Ares frowned, he never really named stuff except his swords. He nodded and started pacing back and forth... Elizabeth chuckled as she saw her lover thinking... "Bellum?" Ares answerd finally. "No.." Elizabeth laughed. "Potestas?" Ares asked. "No..." Elizabeth replied. "Amour?" Ares added. "Isn't that Love in Latin?" Elizabeth asked, screwing up a smug smile. "Gladius?" Ares asked. "Isn't that sounding like a boys name?" Elizabeth asked. "Son of a Arma!" Ares cursed "That's a good one!" Elizabeth smiled "What Arma?" Ares asked "Yes! In Latin it means Weapons doesn't it? And Arma is related to Karma!" Elizabeth smiled "I have no idea what you just said..." Ares admitted Arma smiled and gazed at her Father, giggling, she reached out and tried to hug him. Elizabeth smiled and slowly picked Arma up with soft and gentle hands, hooking her up she showed her to Ares, who was crossing his arms totally disagreeing with the name... "Daddy!" Arma giggled. Ares lifted his eyebrow and gazed at his daughter, his red eyes blazeing into Arma's green ones.. "Come on Ares...I won't tell anyone...just hug her for once!" Elizabeth encouraged... Ares let out a 'Huff!' Of disagreement and turned away from his daughter... Arma tilted her head and let out a small giggle... Ares sighed, and turned to face his daughter again, this time....holding his golden and red sword... "How-" Ares began. "ARMA!!" Arma giggled. Ares ducked and let out a small chuckle, he lifted his hand and hooked his fingers around it. He chuckled and sheathed it, turned to his daughter who was crossing her arms and giving him a smug face saying, 'I knew you will fall for it'. Ares sighed and lifted Arma out of Elizabeth's hands and held her uncomfortably... "Never held a baby huh?" Elizabeth laughed. Ares rolled his eyes, Elizabeth smiled, Arma giggled. All were happy.... ----------------------------------Daughter Of War---------------------------------- Applejack woke in a jolt, she quickly raised her head to only face her bedroom. Sweat poured down her face, she gulped and lifted herself out her bed, she lifted her hoof and grabbed her Brown Stetson hat and placed it on her yellow mane... Slowly Applejack let out a few calm breaths and walked towards a large brown chest.... Applejack slowly opened the chest with a soft creeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaakkkk. Applejack slowly lowered her hoof in the dark box and reached out for a long shape, she lifted it out of the box, the window behind her shone by the beautiful and graceful light of the moon.. Applejack sat down and gazed at the long shape...She frowned... It was a long golden and red sword, the hilt of the sword had a bright orange ruby-shaped gem it was so big, Rarity would fall into 'Drama Mode'. Applejack lifted her gaze to face the shadows of her room, she sighed and closed her eyes.. The words echoed through her mind... ELIZABETH NO! I'm sorry Ares... IT WASN'T HER FAULT. It had to be done. IT WASNT HER FAULT, YOU COWARD BITCH!. Step aside now Ares...Arma will destroy us all if she lives... NEVER! Fine...I'll do it by force! "Applejack?" Whispered a voice. Applejack snapped out of her trance, she looked up to face a small cream-coloured filly with a bright red mane and tail and a big pink bow.. "Apple Bloom?" Applejack asked. The filly nodded, her orange coloured eyes were fixed on the sword fearfully... "Ya had that bad dream again sis?" Apple Bloom asked. Applejack sighed.. "Yeah...yeah ah did.." Applejack sighed. "Why are you up anyways missy?" Applejack added. Apple Bloom brushed the wooden floor with her hoof nervously, she gulped and lowered her gaze to the floor.. "Ah had I nightmare sis.." Apple Bloom admitted... Applejack sighed and placed the sword gently in the wooden box and shut it tight. She sighed and slowly walked forwards and sat next to Apple Bloom, while hooking her hoof around the young Filly's shoulder.. "What was it Apple Bloom?" Applejack asked. "Ah was walking in the apple woods...you were behind meh, Granny Smith too..." Apple Bloom began. Applejack gazed at the filly, she was slowly shaking... "We-we were taking ya to the river because you were bleedin...Once we were there a large pair of red eyes sparkled in the bushes ah went towards it an-an-an it pounced it-it it" Apple Bloom stammered. Tears began to flow down the creamy coloured Filly's eyes, Applejack nudged the filly towards her, Apple Bloom sobbed and sunk her face into Applejack's fur, the orange mare shuddered as the cold tears sunk into her orange fur. She closed her eyes and remembered the first time she had a nightmare. Applejack smiled as she recalled her snuggling in Big Mac's bed when he offered her to sleep with him. Applejack remembered how she felt safe and secure when she stayed by Big Mac. Applejack lowered her head to face the crying Apple Bloom, still crying in her fur. "It got ya and you told me and G-Granny to run and-and-an I saw blood splatter and the river turned red!" Apple Bloom sobbed. "Sshhhhhhhhhh it's ok Apple Bloom, it's ok I'm not goin anywhere...it's ok.." Applejack soothed. "Ah looked back and saw yeh fighting the monster with t-that sword....you-you were glowing bright yellow and blood was pouring down yeh....and-and you glowed brightly and ah woke up..." Apple Bloom continued. "It's alright Apple Bloom.." Applejack soothed, softly rubbing the soft red mane of the little crying filly... "Sis....I-I thought you really were dead...it-it felt real....Real" Apple Bloom sniffed. Applejack slowly pushed the filly from her fur and gazed into her deep orange eyes, she smiled and lifted her hoof and whipped the flowing tears off her sister's face... "Now lookie 'ere Yah a big strong filly...and no one can tell you otherwise...I'm a big strong sister...no one will take meh down remember? I'm the Element of Honesty for Apple's sake!" Applejack soothed. "Even if I'm fighting and I don't have much weapons I've still got Bucky Mc Goddie Goddie and Kick's Mc Gee!" Applejack joked. Apple Bloom smiled and sniffed away the tears, she slowly heaved herself up and hugged Applejack tightly... "Now yah better be off to bed before old Granny Smith will whip ya up a strong speech on bed rest!" Applejack chuckled. Apple Bloom smiled and rushed to the door and opened it slowly, she turned her head and faced Applejack, smiling. "Yah the best sis ever.." Apple Bloom sniffed... Applejack smiled and watched her little sister creep away into the darkness, Applejack turned to the old brown chest once more... "Why do I have a weird feeling this 'Ares' fellow is bad trouble?" Applejack mumbled to herself. Slowly she closed the door Apple Bloom opened and made her way to her bright and large bed once more.. Applejack heaved herself in the comfy covers and placed her brown Stetson on her bed side. Slowly she closed her eyes and began to travel in the dream world.... ----------------------------------Daughter Of War---------------------------------- The next day Applejack woke up to find the warm and mouth-watering smell of Pancakes... Applejack smiled and quickly heaved her bed covers off herself, she quickly placed her brown Stetson on her yellow mane and rushed to the brown door and opened it up to revel Apple Bloom holding a large tray with three glasses of Apple Juice and a white clean plate with golden coloured Panckaes on them... Applejack was speechless, she gazed at Apple Bloom, who was smiling... "Apple Bloom...Yah shouldn't 'ave" Applejack gasped. "Happy birthday sis!" Apple Bloom smiled. "Wha?" Applejack gasped. Apple Bloom smiled and slowly pressed forwards into the room and slowly set down the large tray on Applejack's messy bed. Applejack herself was completely surprised, not of the Pancakes or Apple Bloom delivering them.. She forgot her own Birthday, she completely forgot it was the first day of Summer, the first day of the 'Summer Holidays' where Apple Bloom was unable to go to school until six weeks later... "What's wrong sis?" Apple Bloom asked. Applejack blinked and shook her head and smiled, she slowly turned her gaze for the tray to her little sister, who, was hopping down in excitement. "Hold on yeh little varmint!" Applejack chuckled. "Wha?" Apple Bloom began. Applejack leapt and knocked down her little sister over and began to tickle her with her long yellow mane... "Thoughts you could get away from first day of the month did yeh?!" Applejack laughed. Ever since Applejack returned from The Crystal Empire, Apple Bloom Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo all made up this group of shenanigans called 'First day of the month'. What happens is that everypony must hunt down their friends or family and tickle them into submission. Applejack was surprised Apple Bloom didn't get a Cutie Mark for making a new kind of Prank... "Stop please! Hahaha! I give in! I GIVE IN!!" Apple Bloom laughed Applejack let out a small chuckle and released Apple Bloom from her long bushy yellow tail, Apple Bloom let out a few breaths to regain herself. "I see Apple Bloom lost the First Month hooey!" Chuckled a voice. Applejack spun around to face a long-old green coloured mare her white mane shinned brightly from the sun-rays blazing through the window in front of her... "Granny Smith!" Applejack smiled. "Ello youngin Happy Birthday!" Granny Smith smiled. "Eyup!" Added a voice. Applejack smiled as a large red coloured stallion walked and stood next to Granny Smith, it was Applejack's brother, Big Macintosh... "Happy Sixteenth birthday sis!" Macintosh smiled. "Thanks Big Mac!" Applejack smiled. "Now hurry up and eat ya Pancakes before they get cold ya friend Rainbow Blitz came over to get yeh!" Granny Smith smiled. "Actually it's Rainbow Dash Granny!" Applejack smiled. Granny Smith frowned and lifted up a large golden horn and plugged it into her ear and leaned closer to Applejack. Applejack chuckled and leapt onto her bed and began to sink her teeth into the glorious Pancakes. pple Bloom watched her eat with longing sparkling in her orange eyes. Smiling Applejack pushed the tray to the young filly and chewed her last Pancake in one last gulp.. Apple Bloom smiled and began to dig into the remaining Pancakes on the tray, smiling as she did so.. Applejack heaved herself off the bed only to bump into Big Mac, she backed away and stared at a large green and orange box with a bright yellow box.. "Ah Mac...yeh shouldn't have..." Applejack gasped. "Eyup!" Mac smiled and shoved the box forwards. Applejack smiled and received the gift and teased to the box open onto to gasp, she lowered her hoof into the box and hooked her hoof onto the mysterious item... She lifted it out and smiled.... It was a large copper made apple with large words saying 'APPLEJACK'. "Ah Mac....thank you..." Applejack smiled. Slowly Applejack raised her hoof and brought down her Stetson and clipped the Apple on her hat, still smiling she placed it on and hugged her big brother... "Thank you...all of yeh.." Applejack smiled. "Yah better go missy! Don't wanna be late for your friend Rainbow Light!" Granny encouraged. Applejack smiled and nodded and pushed herself forwards and opened her bedroom door and raced down the corridor, she smiled as she leapt down the staircase and land with a loud THUD.. Applejack raced through the living room and kitchen and opened the white door and raced into the outdoors, Applejack smiled and raced down the dusty path to Ponyville..... Unaware of the mysterious set of Red eyes following her.... Author's Note How do you like it? Did I do good? Please tell I did good! Hope you liked it....it is to make up for my deleted stories :Raritycry: A.F
Chapter TwoThis Chapter is dedicated to Jake Robinsion who will forever keep my secret safe till death -----------------------------Daughter Of War----------------------------- Applejack smiled and raced down the dusty path, dust and dirt was sent flying into the air with every hoof-step she took, the dust slowly began to fly up and form large cloud dusts, just high enough to reach Applejack's mane tip. The dust swarmed and tickled around Applejack, she smiled. Slowly the bright and colourful village known as Ponyville came on the horizon, Applejack sped up, she felt her eyes spark with determination and nervousness... ARMA NO! Applejack widened her eyes, for a moment she lost her control of her hoofs, they felt numb, with a stomp Applejack skidded and flew into the air. Applejack waved her arms in panic, Applejack closed her eyes and fell to the ground with a soft Omph! Applejack groaned, she opened her eyes to face a large pink coloured hoof. She looked up to face a smiling bright pink coloured pony with bright blue eyes, sparkling with excitement. "Pinkie Pie?" Applejack groaned "Hiya Applejack! Oh my gosh you take soooooooo long to get here! But now your here isn't that great?! Pinkie Pie giggled Applejack lifted herself up and dusted herself down and fixed her hat in the right position, with a smile Pinkie Pie began bouncing around the orange mare, giggling as she did so. "I have a message from Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie giggled and bounced in her normal fourth-wall cheery fashion. "Ok shoot" Applejack replied "Rainbow Dash told me that she heard from Twilight who heard from Rarity who heard from Fluttershy that you must go to Sugar Cube Corner for a BIG BIG BIGGY surprise!" Pinkie giggled Applejack lifted her hat and scratched her mane with confusion, Pinkie Pie may of spoke normal to herself but to Applejack she didn't hear a word of it. "Come again?" Applejack asked "Ok Rainbow Dash told me that she heard from Twi-mmmmprh!?" Pinkie Pie began only to have a orange hoof pressed on her mouth "Pinkie Pie say It slowly..ok?" Applejack confirmed The pink party pony smiled and nodded, Applejack sighed and let her hoof fall to the ground once more. "SUGAR CUBE CORNER BIG BIG BIGGY SURPRISE!!" Pinkie Pie giggled before disappearing in a flash of pink. "Ah knew Pinkie Pie was a Fourth-wall breaker....but this is just creepin meh out.." Applejack mumbled to herself The orange mare sighed and pressed forwards, flicking her golden tail as she went. As she walked along she frowned, she kept on thinking about her dream... Arma? Ares? Elizabeth? Those names are weird in my opinion....but why the hay to they seem...familiar? Applejack thought. "Hi Applejack!" Greeted a voice Applejack lifted her gaze and smiled and waved a hoof of greeting at the pony in front of her. It was a beautiful lime green coloured mare with a white and darker lime green streaked tail. She appeared to be in a bit of a problem, the mare was hold about five books in both hoofs, and was also holding a shopping basket. Papers were flying everywhere... "Lyra? Y'all need some 'elp with that?" Applejack asked, walking to the mare Lyra smiled and let out a sigh and collapsed underneath the massive pile of grocery shopping and books, Applejack smiled and picked up a large brown book with a golden spine. Applejack looked at the book and frowned, she turned the book nurmeous times to understand the title. By the time Lyra grabbed all of her grocery bags Applejack finally figured out the title... Humans Greek Mythology Applejack frowned and turned over the title to reveal a picture of a weird creature with white robes and short shaggy light grey hair, but what was the most weird thing, the creature was holding a large lighting bolt. The creature's eyes was grey as the hair, but was blazing with power and wisdom far beyond any age Applejack has ever seen. "Oh you're reading Zeus!" Lyra smiled Applejack lifted her eyebrow, Lyra gasped and held her shopping bags to her mouth.. "You mean you don't know Zeus?" Lyra asked "Nah...no offence Lyra but I'm not into tha 'uman stuff ya in" Applejack replied "It's ok! But of you're not into them...why are you reading it?" Lyra asked as she gazed at the reading Applejack.. "Wha? Oh..ah didn't quite understand the title.." Applejack admitted, flicking the page. "What do you mean by that?" Lyra asked. Applejack stayed silent, her green eyes were fixed on the page before her, quick as a flash she shoved the book into Lyra's chest and ran.. Lyra stood speechless, frowning she dropped her bags and quickly placed the book in her hoof, she frowned once more as she gazed at the white page with bold fiery red words naming one thing. Ares God Of War -----------------------------Daughter Of War----------------------------- Applejack didn't know where she was running nor why, she just didn't want to face that name again, Ares. The voices echoed through her brain as she kept running, dust was flying around her.. ARMA NO!!!!!!! I'm sorry Ares.. WHY? WHY! SHE WAS ONLY A CHILD! She would kill us by the time she aged. WE COULD OF TRAINED HER NOT TO! I'm sorry Ares...it's done... I'll NEVER forgive you Hera...NEVER! Applejack closed her eyes and galloped faster, but the voices just kept shouting or soothing in her mind, it hurt, it felt like fire burning inside your brain and burning away all knowledge and memories you had and turning it to ash. Applejack opened her eyes and skidded, sending dust fly into the air. Before she knew it she tumbled into a figure of blue and multicolour, Applejack let out a yelp of surprised and flung into the figure sending in herself, and the figure topple over into the dust.. Applejack groaned and rubbed her hat-less head, she looked up to see a tall blue coloured Pegasus with a rainbow coloured mane a tail, her eyes were sparking with impatience and surprise.. "Applejack!" The mare huffed "Rainbow?" Applejack asked "Duh!" Rainbow huffed flinging her arms out in a expression know as 'why are you? Stupid?' "Hay...why were you in front of me?" Applejack asked "I was looking for you! Didn't Pinkie Pie give you the message of the Big surprise?" Rainbow huffed, crossing her arms and hovering over the orange mare. Applejack widened her eyes and sat right up, nearly knocking Rainbow Dash over. "Oh gosh I forgot! I was havin a conversation with Lyra and I-" Applejack began "No time for explanations we gotta go!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, and grabbed Applejack's hoof. Now for some weird reason Applejack felt a nerve twitch, without thinking she knocked Rainbow Dash's hoof away and spun around giving a large buck into the Pegasus chest sending the Pegasus staggering "OW!" Rainbow Dash wailed. Applejack widened and she quickly picked up her brown Stetson and rushed to her friend she lifted the blue Pegasus up who flinched and gave Applejack a look of confusion. "Why the hay did you do that for?!" Rainbow asked "Sorry Rainbow I didn't like you touchin me..I felt a weird feelin and snapped.." Applejack mumbled "Oh so like Self-Defence?" Rainbow asked rubbing her mane. "Yeah I guess so.." Applejack admitted. "Ok...we better go to the surprise then.." Rainbow mumbled, offering her hoof. "Ok then..." Applejack smiled and grabbed the hoof of her friend. With a Whhoooosh Applejack felt wind blast into her face, she placed her free hoof onto her brown Stetson to keep it from flying away for mother large and fast amounts of air blasting onto her face. Applejack looked down and smiled, underneath her was the the bright and colourful buildings of Ponyville.. "Brace yourself AJ!" Rainbow sniggered "Wait what do ya mean by-" Applejack began The orange mare didn't have to to finish, with a strong heave of her hoof Rainbow flung Applejack forwards, the orange mare gasped in surprise and held onto her hat tightly, Applejack closed her eyes and felt her whole body tumble and and collapsed on a surprisingly soft floor.. Applejack opened her eyes and looked up to face a wide creamy and pink coloured room, Applejack heaved herself up and dusted herself down only to find confetti stuck on her fur. With no warning a flash of pink purple yellow white purple green and blue jumped out and shot out large amounts of confetti.. "SURPRISE!!" Voices yelled Applejack yelled and toppled over, she looked up to face five mares and a small purple and green dragon.. They all smiled, all where wearing pointy party hats, Applejack smiled and lifted herself again. "Happy birthday Applejack!" Giggled a voice Applejack looked up to face Pinkie Pie once more, she was pushing a large white cart with a mysterious orange box in the middle of it. Rainbow Dash followed behind the pink party pony, hovering in the air, smiling and prideful about her little prank with Applejack. "Yah got me Rainbow.." Applejack chuckled "You bet I did!" Rainbow laughed "Applejack! Darling! Confetti isn't really your style on you're fur!" Gasped a voice Applejack turned to face a snow white coloured Unicorn with a pretty styled deep purple coloured mane and tail, her bright blue eyes were sparkling with concern and amusement. "Rarity am i thinking what you're thinking? Applejack laughed "Of course! Fashion Maker overrrrrrrrrr!!" Rarity smiled, clapping her hooves in excitement Applejack sighed and slowly slipped away form the eager fashionista Unicorn.. "H-hi Apple-jack....Ha-ppy birthday!" Squeaked a voice Applejack turned her attention to a bright yellow coloured Pegasus with a bright pink mane and tail, her kind face was hidden by the pink mane, her dark green eyes glowed dimly by the soft shades of shadow.. "Fluttershy! How ya doin? Is Angel ok?" Applejack smiled Fluttershy brushed her hoof across the wooden floor, her eyes darting everywhere to inspect any danger.. "He's fine...I just hope he'll be fine while I'm gone.." Fluttershy replied with a soft smile "Happy birthday Applejack!" Commented a voice Applejack lofted her eyebrow and turned and bowed at the figure before her, Princess Twilight Sparkle flapped her wings in disapproval. "Applejack! You don't have to bow to me on you're birthday!" Twilight smiled "But Princess Twi-" Applejack began "No buts! Oh and it's just Twilight...honestly Applejack I'm starting to think you might be better of as a Element of Loyalty!" Twilight joked "Hey! I'm in the building you know!" Rainbow huffed "Applejack! Applejack! Yooooohooooooo Applejack! Applejack!" Pinkie Pie giggled. Applejack chuckled and turned herself around and walked right up to the pink party pony, Pinkie giggled and showed her hoofs to the bright orange box, Applejack felt all of her friends gaze at her with happiness and pride. Slowly Applejack gulped and slowly lifted the box up, she gasped and placed her hoof to her mouth, dropping the box. "Girls...ya shouldn't 'ave" Applejack gasped, tears welling in her eyes There before her, was the largest cake Applejack has seen, it's orange icing paced around the sides of the cake, it was a big vinilla flavoured cake, in the middle of it was three large red apples with bright green icing stems... Applejack blinked, tears of happiness began to fall down her face, her friends around her smiled.. "We did Applejack..you deserved it.." Twilight informed "Yeah!" Rainbow added "Especially in the Battle against the Meany MC Meany Cheesy legged Changelings!" Pinkie Pie giggled "You deserve Applejack...for saving Angle from the scary Timberwolves" Fluttershy admitted "You saved me with the others when I was captured by those Vile Ruffian Diamons Dogs!" Rarity added "Technically you saved yourself Rare" Applejack corrected "But you pushed aside your Apple Business to help me.." Rarity replied "Why are we talking when she should start blowing?" Pinkie asked Applejack smiled and drew a breath she closed her eyes, for a moment she felt all her troubles melt away ; Apple Farming, Winter, Death, Pain..even the Dreams... Applejack blew softly, the fiery golden flames whisked and disappeared leaving only a trail of smoke floating into the air and out of the stained glass window at the side of it... It has begun....she is now Sixteen.....it has begun...it has begun...... It...has...begun... Author's Note Did I do good? I think I did pretty crappy DX Hope you liked this Crappy Chapter A.F
Chapter ThreeThis Chapter is dedicated to Auntie Christine who had joined the stars with many others... -----------------Daughter Of War------------------- Darkness, that's all he saw and felt, a cold breeze blew onto his pelt, he snarled at the cold fingers of the wind grabbing his pelt and dragging him further into the Darkness. He could still remember the laughing face of her, he could still remember how he failed to protect her... He lowered his head and felt the rivers of tears fall down once more, the white glittering tears glowed dimly in the Darkness, the creature wept, he couldn't remember what day, year, hour, week, it was...time wasn't right in the world he was trapped in.. He failed her, he failed her all those years ago, he was supposed to Protect her, Protect! But he failed, the Queen took her away, and The Lord punished him for failing... He deserved it all, her laughing face, her emerald green eyes, her golden hair.... was nothing but a memory.... -----------------Daughter Of War------------------- Applejack smiled as she saw the fading smoke disappear, the waves of the grey and white air flicked and swished in the room, confetti was scattered along the wooden floor, Pinkie Pie giggled and clapped loudly as Applejack blew out her candles. Twilight smiled and trotted along the room and pushed over another cart, this time, filled with a enormous present pile. Applejack widened her eyes, the boxes of multicolour towered over her, casting a shadow over her and her friends. Applejack slowly gulped and pressed forward to the massive mountain of presents... "OOOOOOOOO PICK THAT ONE-NO THAT ONE-TO YOU'RE RIGHT-TO THE RIGHT APPLEJACK SILLY!" Pinkie Pie giggled while giving Applejack hoof motions, pointing to a large pink and orange stripped box with a big red bow. Applejack smiled and slowly grabbed the Box and pulled it from the pile, she looked up to see a fast motion of falling presents, Applejack shoved the Box she was holding as a shield, the presents bounced merrily off and landing randomly. "That's ah lot of presents girls" Applejack gasped "Well there not ALL from us, Lyra, Bon Bon, Octavia, and Vinyl came around with presents...come to think of it....where are they?" Twilight admitted "LET'S CRACK UP THE TUNES!" Shouted a voice With a large BOOM the door swung open Applejack came face to face with a white coloured unicorn with red and black glasses and spiky blue mane and tail.. "Vin-" Applejack began "BRING IN THE WUBS!" Vinyl ordered The door swung open once more, revealing Lyra and Bon Bon. Bon Bon is a cream coloured earth pony with a dark blue and pink stripes mane and tail, her blue eyes were sparkling with annoyance and 'why do I drag myself into this?' Kind of sign. Lyra pushed a large DJ set, Vinyl smiled and raced over to the DJ set and jumped into the air and forward rolled, before landing perfectly on the wooden floor. Applejack didn't have time to say anything because... "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Vinyl cheered The DJ Pony smiled and grabbed out a large orange and green disc and placed it, she placed her hoof on the buttons and started to move the sound up to 'Danger High Level!' Applejack placed her right hoof on her hat, and braced herself, unfortunately it didn't work and Applejack was blasted by the loud sound waves of the DJ. Applejack gritted her teeth and closed her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her back, she bit her lip and heaved herself up, she opened her eyes to see her cake in front of her once more. Applejack frowned, she lofted her hoof and pushed the cart away, it came back again. She pushed it aside once more, it just kept coming back, this lasted for about five minutes. "What the hay?" Applejack frowned "It's not nice pushing away you're party guests is it?" Asked a voice Applejack frowned and looked closer to her candles of the cake, the white candles were glowing with blue and white fire, and the tip of the candle was brown. "Discord" Applejack rolled her eyes With a flash of white the God Of Chaos reappeared in his mix-matched glory, he yelped and plugged his ears at the loud sound waves of the DJ. Discord smiled and clicked his talons, with a flash of white Discord had a set of earmuffs in his talons. Sighing Applejack rolled her eyes and stomped her hoof impatiently and watched Discord placed the earmuffs on his head. "HEY DON'T FIGHT THE MUSIC!" Vinyl shouted Discord shrugged and clicked his talons, a large wall made of jello appeared blocking out Vinyl's rude comments, that are to rude to write. "Now Applejack I heard it was you're birthday!" Discord smiled "Yah it is now-" Applejack began "Oooooooh this is sooooo good! I haven't seen a Daughter Of War in AGES!" Discord thought "Ooo my voice sounds cool! Hello HelloHello Piiigsssss Innnnnn Spaceeeeee" Discord laughed "Discord!" Applejack shouted "Yes?" Discord replied Applejack gritted her teeth and stomped her orange hoof on the wooden floor, she fixed her green gaze on Discord, who, was sniggering.. "What in Apples name do you want from meh!" Applejack snarled "Oh I'm just here to give you a birthday present my dear!" Discord smiled "Wha-" Applejack began With a flash of pink Discord teleported to Applejack's side he held a large old brown box, with a golden wolf seal on top. Applejack lifted her eyebrows and gazed at Discord, unsure if this is a prank or a present "Hey it's a real present!" Discord laughed Applejack sighed and gently took the box off form Discord's mix-matched arms. She sighed and slowly opened the box to reveal...... A jar of Pickles, one lone pickle. Applejack stood silently and cursed under her breath, she fallen for Discord's tricks again. "Now I know it doesn't look good by appearance!" Discord smiled He flashed over to Applejack's right. "But it's a magical pickle!" Discord added "Magical? Y'all need to get your brain back Discord because yah ain't foolin me!" Applejack snarled Discord sighed and clicked his talons, the jello wall slowly disappeared and turned into a large wooden box, the box that held Applejack's yellow and red sword.. "Dah hay?! That's stealing rights Discord!" Applejack snarled "Nah Applejack I'm just saying use your magical pickle on what you really...and I mean really want the most....last time I gave one of these baby's Hercules wished to be a god....never ends well when you wish for that..." Discord grumbled, looking at his paw "Who the hay is Hercules?" Applejack asked Discord looked up and smiled, with a flick of his tail the large wooden box disappeared back to Applejack's room. Discord slithered over to Applejack's head and shrinked himself and hopped onto the pickle jars top. "You will soon know Applejack! But remember what you really want!" Discord laughed With a click of his talons, he teleported away, leaving both a confused Applejack and a lonely magical pickle... "APPLEJACK COME ON SILLY YOU'VE GOTTA OPEN THE PRESENTS!" Pinkie Pie shouted, over the loud sound waves. "Ima comin Sugarcube Ima comin!" Applejack laughed Quickly the orange mare lifted up her tail and placed the pickle jar inside her golden tail, it quickly disappeared under all the yellow fur. Applejack smiled and rushed over to Pinkie Pie, the massive pile of presents grew larger and larger. Applejack gasped and slides and knocked right into Pinkie Pie, who dropped her cupcake onto Rainbow Dash's mane... All hay broke lose.. Rainbow Dash laughed and grabbed a massive pie and threw it right into Fluttershy's mane, who squeaked and threw her cupcake softly at Rarity, who gasped and fainted onto the 'Drama Chair'. Vinyl smiled and threw her punch at Lyra, who laughed and threw a muffin, which Derpy flew in a ate. Applejack watched as the crossed-eyed mare held a large machine gun and pulled the trigger which sent out large muffins. "RUN!" Applejack warned Rainbow Dash gasped and flew straight into Applejack, both tumbled and flew straight into the wall. Applejack narrowed her eyes and heaved herself up in a weird battle stance. "Rainbow y'all take the right!" Applejack ordered "Since when did you give out orders?" Rainbow scoffed "Since I was a little filly-" Applejack began, but was cut off by Pinkie Pie's cupcake bomb. "DIVE!" Applejack ordered Both mares dived sideways, the cupcake exploded into a large mixture of chocolate syrup and cream. Lyra and Bon Bon were throwing sweet's at Vinyl, who was just throwing large amounts of cupcakes, until Derpy shot out a golden muffin and made Vinyl fly into the mountain of presents. "FOR CARROTS!" Fluttershy screamed, holding a large carrot knife "If you don't mind.." Fluttershy added shyly Applejack watched as Fluttershy dodged the missiles of Muffins and leap into the air and roll forwards, with a 'epp!' Fluttershy brought down her carrot knife onto the muffin machine. It exploded into thousands of muffins, Applejack raised her hoof up to block the thousands of burnt muffins falling onto her face. Rainbow shrugged and opened her mouth, Pinkie grabbed thousands of muffins and started to throw them into her mouth, Lyra and Bon Bon were laughing and throwing muffin at each other playfully. Rarity was still in 'Drama Mode', Twilight was helping Vinyl up. Applejack ran up to Fluttershy, who was helping Derpy up and brushing the dust off her mane. "How in Equestria's name did ya do that Sugarcube?" Applejack asked Fluttershy squeaked and hid herself behind her mane and mumbled something to Derpy, who nodded and flew out of the window. Fluttershy smiled as turned to Applejack. "I planned where her weak spot would be Applejack..." Fluttershy admitted softly.. "That's good techniques! The way you did a forward roll and battle cry was amazing!" Applejack smiled "...FLUTTERSHY!" Rainbow screamed Fluttershy squeaked and leapt into the air, Rainbow Dash was staggering by the soft burnt marks of the muffins... "THAT.WAS.AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash shouted "Can you do that again?" Rainbow Dash asked "I-I'm sorry Rainbow...I-I only did it because...I..I.." Fluttershy squeaked "It's ok .....but that was....just....just...WOW!" Rainbow gasped Fluttershy squeaked and backed away and ran over to Vinyl, Applejack rolled her eyes and gazed at Rainbow Dash. "What?" Rainbow asked "Y'all shouldn't go asking for ponies who can so things only when they can Rainbow!" Applejack growled "Yeah...whatever!" Rainbow rolled her eyes.. "C'mon we gotta clean up tha mess before Pinkie Pie decides to do a Pie War..." Applejack added Rainbow shuddered... -----------------Daughter Of War------------------- Fluttershy didn't want anybody to follow her, she gazed behind the confetti and muffin filled room, smiling she raced down the stairs and flew out of the door, the grass flicked and wished softly by the soft gusts of wind she made. Fluttershy sighed and remembered the muffin machine, it was so easy, why didn't everypony else see the weak spot? Applejack seemed to be the only one who took the fight seriously... Fluttershy sighed and landed softly, she pushed the red door open to reveal a small room filled with millions of animals and birds.. Fluttershy smiled and walked towards the small white bunny, who was tapping his foot impatiently. Angel was his name, Fluttershy's loyal grumpy demanding cute bunny pet. Fluttershy sighed as the bunny pushed the large cooking book in her face. "Now Angel.." Fluttershy began.. Angel thrust the book more, Fluttershy sighed and walked to the kitchen.. Discord frowned, he hated watching Fluttershy being pushed over like that, he smirked and clicked his talons and paw together and gazed at Angel hungrily... "Get ready for a whole month of chaos little bunny....get ready..." Discord laughed.. Author's Note Please note....Fluttershy's story will be revealed maybe after this story...is she either Athena or Hera? I might have to think while doing this story Hope you liked this crappy chapter A.F
Chapter FourThis Chapter is dedicated to my friend Robert Allen, who stood by me even when winning is impossible ----------------------Daughter Of War-------------------- Applejack smiled, she rubbed her hoof gently on the bronze-made apple, the present Big Mac gave her. It glowed dimly in the dark room, her bedroom, Applejack shuddered at the memory of Pinkie Pie at Applejack's party. "PIE WAR!!!" The party mare yelled. Applejack smiled as she recalled Rainbow Dash zooming out of the room quickly, obviously afraid of the last Pie War she'd been through, what happened was Pinkie Pie had a large Sniper filled with blueberry juice and cream, Pinkie Pie was high in the trees of the EverFree Forest. Rainbow Dash wasn't lucky as much as Applejack, she was squirted and cream shot filled to the max, she even collapsed and said 'Uncle!'... But at the party it was far worse, not only did Pinkie Pie declare another Pie War, the two fillies Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake, ended up using there magical/flying abilities to ambush and totally pwn Rainbow Dash... Applejack was very lucky in fact, so lucky she even tossed herself out of the window accidentally and not even get a scratch on her fur, she was even followed by Lyra and Bon Bon, who themselves were lucky as well... Applejack smiled and slowly snapped out of her memories... Slowly she heaved herself off her bed and placed the bronze apple onto her brown Stetson, she frowned, she could still remember what Discord gave her and what he said.. "Remember Applejack use it when you really...and I mean really need it..." Discord's words reminded her "Hey I did not say that!" Discord yelled, and kicked Applejack's head, she growled and swatted the misty Discord away. Applejack sighed and walked over to her large wooden box, she slowly opened it with a soft creeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk, Applejack frowned as she gazed at the empty box. "What in tha hay?" Applejack asked herself. Applejack dived her hoof into the box and tried to find her missing sword, it wasn't there, but a small soft blue and white striped peace of clothing was hooked into Applejack's hoof. Frowning Applejack slammed the box shut and trotted over to the bedroom door. Carefully she opened it with a soft click! and quietly snuck out of the room. Someone better have a good explanation for stealin and sneaking around MY Farm! Applejack thought, as she clenched the cloth in her hoof.. Flim and Flam...those two mother buckers Applejack thought grimly Applejack clenched her teeth as the memory of the two unicorns smashed into her face, one day on Cider Season, when Rainbow Dash demanded Cider, two unicorns came out of the plains and showed them there machine called the Super Squeeze Cider Maker, Applejack and family had to battle the two brothers in a Cider Battle, whoever made the most has the farm. At first the two brothers won, but as Applejack and family began to leave, Flim and Flam were surrounded by flicks of angry ponies who wanted refunds.... Thus they lost the battle and they fled, nopony heard or seen them ever since... Until tonight... Applejack breathed quietly and crouched down, eager not to be heard. Applejack slowly crept down the dusty stairs and enter the large living room, Applejack smiled as she gazed at the old Photo of the Apple Family Reunion that happened just a few months ago... "Applejack!" Whispered a voice Applejack widened her eyes and spun around to face Apple Bloom, bags were under the Filly's eyes, the eyes themselves were sparking with curiosity and exhaustion. "Apple Bloom?" Applejack whispered The filly nodded and stumbled, quick as a flash Applejack caught the filly before she could even hit the floor. "W-why are ya up sis?" Apple Bloom asked between the large yawns Applejack smiled and lifted the filly up with ease, she slowly trotted over the the large green couch and placed the tired filly onto it, Applejack smiled as she gazed at her yawning sister. "I'm only goin out to catch a robber sis.." Applejack whispered "Oh....that's a great new idea for Cutie Mark Cru-" Apple Bloom began Applejack watched as the young filly collapse and fall asleep, Applejack smiled and pulled up a large yellow blanket and heaved it onto the little filly.. "Rest little sis...may the new sword sharpen you next mornin" Applejack whispered Slowly Applejack crouched and quietly snuck into the kitchen and opened the large brown door quitley, Applejack froze as a soft whine entered her ears, she slowly turned around to face a small sleeping brown and white coloured girl collie, she was pawing the air as if she was running. Applejack smiled and turned to face the door once more, with quite hoofs she slowly heaved the door open, Applejack clenched her teeth and rushed out of the kitchen and into the darkness of Equestria... With the dangerous set of red eyes following her... ----------------------Daughter Of War-------------------- "Are you sure this is a good idea Flim?" Flam asked nervously, gazing at the large golden and red coloured sword. "Of course!" Flim soothed, spinning the sword gently with a hunger gleaming in his eyes, ever since Applejack and her family beat the two brothers in a Cider Battle, they were well....Poor...they had no money, home, food, water, anything! Both brothers were in a dark drippy and smelly alley way, there home, there only home that provided them and protected them from any dangers they met. Nopony really knew they still remained here... "Besides! With this sword we will be rich! Rich!" Flim added "Rich..." Flam said dreamily. "And once rich we will be able to bye the farm easily for Applejack and cast them put of Ponyville just like US!" Flim laughed coldly Flam smiled and joined his brother, both finally have a chance for a act of vengeance of the Apple Family, and they were going to get it... "HAY YOU SON OF A APPLE BUCKING! DOOFIN! IDIOTIC! PAIR OF TWITS!" Swore a voice Both brothers spun around and gasped, Applejack towered upon them, her golden mane and tail glowed dimly in the darkness of he night, her emerald green eyes glowed brightly in anger. Her brown Stetson was almost hidden, except the shining apple badge the glowed softly by the moon above. Both brothers exchanged glances, they smiled and burst out laughing, when Flim finally caught his breath he slowly let out a sly smile and unsheathed the golden red coloured sword, it glowed dimly by the soft moonlight. "Now Applejack we both know here you won't make It out in a nice shape whole I have your pretty sword.." Flim cooed Applejack narrowed her eyes, Nobody and I mean nobody, steals from the Apple Family... "Come and say that to my face you TWIT!" Applejack spat Flim snarled and charged, Applejack growled and reared up and buckled her hoofs, without a second thought she charged. "GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Applejack yelled Flim slashed, a bright gleam of yellow flashes in the night, Applejack ducked, quickly she rolled out of the way, gritting her teeth she spun around and flung her hoofs into the air, she hit contact with Flim's face, he gasped and was flung across the alley. Flam gasped as the bright sword was flung into the air. Flam was frozen the the spot, his eyes widened at Applejack's newfound agility and battle-strenght, for the first time in his life, Flam thought he could actually die from this no-armed mare... Applejack crouched and spring into the air quickly she spun forwards in a summer-sault and flicked her mane to her sword, the golden mane flicked and gripped onto the sword tightly, Applejack thrust herself forwards and landed onto Flam, his eyes widened in fear. Applejack growled and placed her sword onto Flam's neak, sweat dripped down the colts face, his eyes were widening in fear. "W-what are you?" Flam gasped Applejack narrowed her eyes and pressed the sword harder, blood trickled down Flam's neak, he gasped in pain and fear, his whole body shook. "You ever...and I mean EVER steal from me or any other pony y'all be sorry! Consider yourself lucky unlike y'all brother over there!" Applejack snarled flicking her tail to the bleedin Flim "I-" Flam began "DO YOU PROMISE!" Applejack snarled Flam didn't answer, he gulped in fear and shook madly, blood poured down his neak faster. Applejack narrowed her eyes and pressed the sword harder, Flam yelped in pain. "DO YOU PROMISE NEVER TO STEAL OR RETURN TO THIS TOWN?!" Applejack roared "I-I promise!" Flam gulped. "Ah thought so..." Applejack snarled Quick as a flash Applejack heaved up Flam and shoved him over to his brother, who was finally heaving himself up onto his hoofs, both colts ran into the darkness, Flim creanded his neak and turned to face Applejack while running. "What are you!" Flim spat, as he disappeared into the darkness, his words echoed throughout the alley way, Applejack sighed and slowly grabbed the swords sheath. What are you?! the words echoed through Applejack's mind. Sighing the mare began to trot back to Sweet Apple Acres, the words still echoed through her mind, new voices began to shout and sooth ARMA! NO! I had to do it Ares... SHE WAS ONLY A CHILD! She would of killed us all... I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU HERA....NEVER! The words buzzed through Applejack's mind she shook her head and pressed forwards, the stones slowly turned to grass, the buildings slowly turned to trees, Applejack smiled as she saw the large red barn and brown house of the horizon.. What are you? The words echoed through her mind.. "Ah wish ah knew.." Applejack mumbled, as she tred through the darkness... "THEN CONSIDER YOU'RE WISH MY COMMAND!" Laughed a voice Applejack spun around to face a flash of white light, Applejack crouched and snarled. Discord hovered over, flapping his mix-matched wings softly. "What do yah mean mah wish?!" Applejack snarled Discord rolled his eyes, he sighed and shook his head. "The magical pickle is still in you're tail remember?" Discord reminded Applejack widened her eyes, slowly she lifted her tail up, a large jar slowly fell down and smash onto the floor, green liquid traveled threw the lines of the tiled alley floor. Applejack gasped as she gazed at a large thin green pickle. "What! Oh come on! Applejack do you even know how LONG it takes to make even ONE MAGICAL PICKLE!" Discord snarled, while waving his arms madly "Ah didn't realize the varmit was still in there!" Applejack replied "Well sorry Applejack for my outburst!" Discord rolled his eyes Applejack rolled her eyes and trotted forwards head first, the mare tried her best to ignore Discord's telaporting "Hey stop being a moody Muffin!" Discord yelled "MUFINS!" Derpy yelled in the distance Applejack rolled her eyes and pressed forwards, she clenched her teeth hard, she was trying not to poke Discord in the eye or even attack him with her sword. "Welll....." Discord began "I better finish that wish of yours!" Discord finished while laughing madly "Wha-" Applejack began Quick as a flash Discord snapped his talons, a large cardboard box floated in front of Applejack, frowning Applejack opened the box, only to be hit by a large jet of green dust, Applejack coughed and swatted the dust away. Discord watched as the sleeping powder took its hold on Applejack's mind and body. He smiled mischievously. Applejack blinked, the entire world started to blur, she staggered, gritting her teeth she pressed towards Discord, the wind blew softly against her mane. The world started to disappear, the trees dissolved into nothing but mist. Applejack staggered and fell face first into the grassy floor. Discord smiled and snatched up the brown Stetson off the Mare's head, smiling he chucked the hat away, and watched it fly by the soft winds that took it. Applejack felt her eyes droop, lifting her head she gazed at a large towering beast, it's blood red eyes sparkled in a mischievous matter, gritting her teeth Applejack opened her mouth. Only for her eyes to shut tight, and her entire body shut down, Applejack slowly felt her control over her entire body, slip away, leaving her in the darkness of her own mind... In her dreams...

Chapter FiveThis Chapter is dedicated to my dog Elise, who will forever be loyal and honest even though she cannot speak ----------------Daughter Of War-------------- "Arma....." ARMA ARMA ARMA .... Applejack opened her eyes, but closed them shut as the bright light scorched into her green eyes, gritting her teeth, she opened them up once more, she blinked as she gazed at soft whisks of grass right in front of her. Lifting her head Applejack looked around to find herself in a bright forest. "Where in apple's name am ah?" Applejack gasped, as she gazed at the surroundings. She was in a glorious green forest, the trees were a strong colour of green and brown, the squrrile's leapt on tree to tree, and the birds flew softly, not making any sound. The soft wind pressed against Applejack's and the tree leaf's fur. Applejack pricked up her ears and turned her gaze to a small thin stream. It was sparkling in a bright blue colour, with white streaks flowing down. Little fish hopped out of the stream now and then.. Blinking, Applejack placed her hoof onto her mane, her hatless mane. Gasping Applejack looked around to find her brown Stetson. Applejack widened her eyes, her brown Stetson was gone. Her present from Big Mac was gone. Narrowing her eyes, Applejack heaved herself up, her whole body screeched in pain. Applejack staggered and quickly leaned against a tree. "Ah feel like ah took on a dragon singled hoofed!" Applejack grumbled to herself. Taking deep breaths, Applejack pushed herself from the tree and stood still, her legs screeched in pain. Gritting her teeth, Applejack walked forwards. With every step her muscles screeched in pain, telling her to stop. Ah ain't giving up...Ah have to find somepony.. Applejack thought, lifting her gaze to the tall trees that towered over her. Applejack stopped, she gazed at the tall trees, the large and thick branches tempting her to clime to the top. Applejack walked towards the tree, lifting her hoof she grabbed the first branch of the tree. SNAP! Applejack widened her eyes, she gazed at the torn branch, she only just grabbed it...and it just snapped. Applejack frowned, her whole body screeched in pain, but why did she easily rip off the branch when she could barley lift a hoof without passing out of pain and exhaustion? This is gettin weirder and weirder..Applejack thought Applejack shook her head and pressed forwards, throwing the branch away, as the orange mare pressed forwards, the small bramble bushes brushed against her fur, as if they tried to pull her back to the forest. Applejack swatted the brambles gently with her soft golden coloured tail. "Ah you're awake!" Laughed a voice With a flash of white a tall mix-matched creature appeared, he was wearing a Sombrero on his hat, and maracas were in his mix-matched arms. His toothy grin made Applejack grit her teeth in anger. "Discord! Ah shouldn't knew yeh would sprew up trouble!" Applejack growled Discord rolled his eyes and snapped his talons, with a flash of green, Applejack found herself sitting in a large pillow-made couch, in her hoofs was a large bucket of popcorn. Applejack rolled her eyes and chuckled the bucket at Discord, which just grabbed a baseball bat and swung, and hit the popcorn bucket, making it fly into the air and explode into fireworks Applejack rolled her eyes, and crossed her hoofs. "Cheer up Applejack! I'm just granting you're wish!" Discord smiled "Ah wish you would leave me alone then!" Applejack growled "Sorry AJ but that wasn't the wish you said!" Discord replied Applejack growled, Discord frowned and clicked his talons, with a flash of pink, Applejack herself standing on the ground once more, Applejack raised here eyebrow as she gazed at a large golden and red coloured sword. "Are ya the one eh sent Flim and Flam stealin?" Applejack growled "Nope! I actually didn't even know who even stole this baby..." Discord smiled, hooking the sword into his talons and gazing at the sword...fearfully? Applejack sighed and trotted up to Discord, who gazed at her smugly, rolling her eyes Applejack snatched the sword right out of Discord's talons. "Tell me where are we...before I cut yeh head off!" Applejack growled "Okay! Sheesh!" Discord grumbled "Well" Applejack growled, unsheathing her sword. "We are in the forest of memories!" Discord grumbled, crossing his arms and flicking his tail annoyed "I never get to have any fun.." Discord added softly Applejack rolled her eyes and pressed her sword gently on Discord's chest, who yelped and widened his eyes in surprise. "What do you mean by 'Forest Of Memories?'" Applejack growled Discord gulped. "Tell me!" Applejack snarled, clenching her teeth in anger "Ok ok ok ok! When you wished you wanted to know who you were, I made you fall asleep so I can bring you here peacefully!" Discord replied "Why here?" Applejack growled. Discord rolled his eyes and lifted his arms and shrugged "Forest Of Memories...I think the title says it all.." Discord sighed "And? Why bring me here?" Applejack asked "I just said that! To make your wish come true!" Discord rolled his eyes Applejack blinked, slowly she lowered her sword, Discord gasped, holding his throat tight. Applejack shook her head and sheathed her sword. Discord smiled, Applejack rolled her eyes and kicked Discord. "Ow!" Discord yelped "If yeh took meh here for a prank a'll kill yeh!" Applejack growled "Sooooooo you trust me?" Discord asked, smiling mischievously "Yeh....for now.." Applejack smirked Discord whooped and lifted his mix-matched wings and darted into the air, Applejack frowned as she felt a weird tug on her hoof. Looking down, Applejack widened her eyes, a long tight rope was tightened around her hoof. Without a warning, Applejack's hoof was tugged, and the orange mare was dragged into the air. Applejack widened her eyes, quickly she grabbed her sheathed sword and held it tight. Eager not to lose it "DISCORD!" Applejack yelled, as the clouds began to grow bigger and bigger. "Ooooh I love this part!" Discord happily thought out-loud, ignoring Applejack's rude comments. Discord dived, Applejack widened her eyes, gripping onto her sword even more tightly, Applejack yelled out rude words to rude to write down.. But I'll write them in... "SON OF A BUCKING IDIOTIC NO GOODER, WHEN I GET MY HOOVES ON YEH I'M GUNNA MAKE SURE YEH WON'T TURN TO STONE BUT YOU'LL GET KICKED BY MY BUCKING HOOVES!" Applejack yelled Discord widened his eyes, smirking he clicked his talons, with a flash of white, Applejack found herself standing right next to a large pool. Applejack gazed at Discord angrily. "This is the Pool Of Answers! Just look inside and wish what you want to know and it'll show you the answer!" Discord smiled Applejack growled, spinning around she lifted her hind-legs, but she forgot how weak she was, pushing her hind-legs, a soft laughing broke out, Applejack frowned and tumbled over, landing face first into the dust. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How hilarious! That might of even tickled me!" Discord laughed Applejack heaved herself up and charged at Discord, who, clicked his talons and teleported to the side, while, Applejack crashed head first into a large boulder and fall face first once more. "Wow...just...wow.." Discord smiled Applejack felt a warm liquid pour down her face, lifting her hoof up she touched her forehead, she winched in pain, lowering her hoof she gazed at the blood. The bright red blood. "This is just...well....pathetic..you can't even get up...no wonder your pony father died by those TimberWolves" Discord smiled, grinning as his plan began to function properly. Applejack narrowed her eyes, gritting her teeth, she pressed her hooves on the grassy floor, her muscles screeched in pain. Applejack breathed, closing her eyes Applejack lifted herself up... The Pool shimmered in front of her, images and memories shimmered and sparkled in the Pool, voices echoed thorough Applejack's head. Her heart was being torn apart by the many emotions that the memories held. In War there ain't many lover sweetheart.... Son of Arma! That's it! What Arma? ARMA NO It had to be done.. Applejack snapped her eyes open, Discord widened his eyes as a fiery red aura surrounded Applejack. Gritting her teeth Applejack unsheathed her sword, it glowed brightly by the warm shine of the sun. Discord gapped in awe and horror... Applejack smirked. "Ah'm Applejack....and i'm gunna kick your ass Discord.." Applejack snarled "........Oh Cotten candy.." Discord gasped, though he was smiling on the inside...his plan was working...just.... Perfectly Author's Note BAM....eyup that was the most stupid idiotic Chapter I have wrote in my life...I am ashamed I have wrote this down Anyways...What is Discord's Plan? How the heck did Applejack glow red?....And who is Applejack REALLY?? Find out in the next chapter A.F
Chapter SixThis Chapter is dedicated to the band called Imagine Dragon's, who inspired me with the song 'Radioactive' ------------------Daughter Of War------------------ Now Rage is a very powerful emotion, Revenge is even more powerful, these both and VERY dangerous if used darkly. When insulted we would feel our Rage build up...maybe Revenge too. Sometimes we walk away and try to calm down, it doesn't always work, most times, we charge head first and get ourselves in a fight. With Rage and Revenge on our side...you could proberbly win.. But Applejack's Rage? Well....lets just say...when angry? You're fucked. Rage burned wildly in Applejack's heart, a horrible taste of bitter Revenge burned even more. Narrowing her eyes, Applejack reared onto her hind legs and started to advance on Discord, who, was sweating in panic. Applejack smirked as the God Of Chaos clicked his talons... Nothing happened, Discord widened his eyes and gazed at his talons. "Wha-" Discord began SLICE!!! In one quick motion, Applejack raced up and swung her sword, blood splattered against the green grass. Discord clutched his cheek and roared in pain, staggering as he did so. Applejack watched, clearly amused at the sight of the God's pain. Clutching her sword even tighter, Applejack let out a blood chilling roar. "RARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Applejack roared Discord yelped and ran, Applejack smirked, charging after the God, but, out of the corner of the mare's eyes, Applejack saw a floating knife, speeding at her. Smirking Applejack skidded and spun around and charged at the knife. As if time slowed down, Applejack ducked and skidded on her knees right under the knife, lifting her sword she sliced the knife. Clink! The knife had no chance, as soon as the golden blades of Applejack's sword touched the silver, it snapped in half, as if it wanted to die and not get fully PWND by the full power of Applejack's sword. Discord gasped, Applejack smirked. "Ya'll have to do better than that DICKCORD!" Applejack yelled That did it, Discord let out a roar of rage and charged, Applejack gladly returned her own roar of rage as she charged, Discord clicked his talons, with a flash of pink, a large brown and golden coloured sword appeared in Discord's paw and claw. Applejack smirked and gained speed, Discord charged lifting his sword high, eager to cut Applejack's head off. Then...unspeakable happened... Applejack ducked, and quickly knelt onto the floor and skidded right under Discord, Discord widened his eyes in surprise. Applejack smirked and quickly sprung up, in a quick motion, Applejack leapt onto the God's back and sliced his wing, blood poured down. Discord roared in pain and buckled, Applejack smirked and placed one of her hooves on Discord's Pegasus wing, while the other, was on her sword. Applejack smirked and gabbed on the Pegasus wing of Discord and pulled it up, as if on command Discord's bat wing followed. Slowly Discord found himself flying, and also, for once had no control and couldn't do anything to stop Applejack. Discord whined in panic as Applejack ordered his wings to go higher. Clouds slowly brushed against them, Applejack smiled, Discord whimpered. The she let go. Discord widened his eyes in surprise, he gasped as he watched Applejack free-fall to her doom, narrowing his eyes he scoffed and dived down to save her. Applejack smirked. Quick as a flash she swung her sword, blood poured out once more, Discord roared in pain as he saw his deer horn fall down to the grassy floor. Discord gasped as he saw Applejack free fall to him and grabbed his remaining horn. Applejack lowered her head to Discord's ear smiling in victor as she did so. "Nopony...and I mean nopony...mess with Applejack" Applejack whispered Applejack closed her eyes and braced herself to hit the ground, Discord yelled as he began to fall helplessly, Applejack gripped harder onto his wing and sword at the same time. Closing her eyes, Applejack felt her fury melt away, leaving her regretting and wondering what she had just done.. BOOOOOOOOM ----------------Daughter Of War---------------- Now people and Ponies alike say God's can't be killed, but they can fade away. But Applejack did something nopony else could, she nearly and I mean nearly killed Discord. Eyup Discord; God of Lies, Disharmony, Chaos, Pranks, Jokes, Imagination, had nearly died....... Or was it Discord? Now Applejack couldn't believe it either when she woke up from that hit in the earth. She couldn't even believe how she survived it to.. She couldn't believe...that she was fooled.....and was sent somewhere...she wasn't supposed to return...EVER AGAIN Dust flew around, the scorched marks of the giant crater crawled up and eat the green grass of the forest, animals had hid long ago. The golden and red coloured sword of Applejack, laid in the middle, untouched, never broken...not even a scratch. Two bodies laid beside the sword, one was a orange coloured pony with a beautiful golden mane of the sun's rays itself. The other, was a mix-matched creature, Lion, Eagle, Snake, Dragon, Bull, Pegasus, Bat, Goat. You name it, it has those body parts and appearance. The orange pony, had barley a scratch on her, the small sparks of red rage slowly faded, the mix-matched creature, was bloodied, cut open, and near to death. Applejack groaned, blinking open her eyes she gasped, quickly she ran over to Discord, who, was gasping and coughing out blood. "Discord! What are yeh? How are? W-WHAT HAPPENED?" Applejack gasped Now I know what you're thinking 'YOU JUST BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF DISCORD!' But remember the mysterious red glow around Applejack? That was known as Blind Rage, a common power used in battles. The red glow would make Applejack fight in ways she wouldn't expect, but at a price; not remembering what had happened.. Got it now? Good? ON WITH THE STORY! The God Of Chaos blinked open his red eyes, lifting his head slowly he let out a insane smile, his eyes flashed green, Applejack gasped as the God's fur began to melt and form a rock hard, black coloured fur. The bleeding wings slowly turned from beautiful purple and blue, to glassy sticky bug wings. Applejack gasped and backed away, a large column of green fire erupted and circled the shaping creature. Applejack shielded her eyes. When the light slowly faded, Applejack lowered her hoof and gasped, a large black coloured horse with murky green hair, eyes, and tail towered above her. Her green eyes glowed in hatred and hunger. Her mane flicked softly by the soft winds that brushed against her, the glassy wings buzzed and twitched. "Why hello Applejack" The creature laughed "Chrysalis!" Applejack snarled "Oh it's so nice to see you again.." Chrysalis smiled "Why the hay are yeh here? Where's Discord?" Applejack snarled, crouching in a attack position. The changeling laughed coldly, Applejack clenched her teeth. "Discord was never here Applejack it was all me...Discord is far away helping little 'King Sombra' rise from the dead....." Chrysalis laughed "Yeh lying! Discord was reformed by Fluttershy! Ah saw it 'appen!" Applejack snarled Chrysalis rolled her eyes, staggering, she circled around Applejack, smiling as she did so. "Discord was reformed...I just...took his mind and powers for a bit.." Chrysalis smiled. "Why be nice to meh when you could of killed meh?!" Applejack spat. "Why would i kill you Applejack?" Chrysalis asked. "Because you wanna rule Equestria!" Applejack hissed. "Applejack...i cant kill yeh....not when you have a prophecyahead of you.." Chrysalis smiled. Applejack striked, but the changeling merely laughed and dodged, Applejack stumbled and fell face first onto the crater floor. Chrysalis raised her head and laughed coldly to the skies above her. "What do yeh want from me!" Applejack growled, lifting herself up. Quick as a flash, Chrysalis striked and flipped Applejack over with ease, Applejack gasped and groaned in pain as the mare hit the crater's floor by her back. Chrysalis smiled and placed a large powerful hoof on Applejack's chest and held the orange mare down. Applejack struggled and bucked her hooves, but Chrysalis merely dodged them, never taking her green eyes off Applejack's. "At first I couldn't believe it myself...when I was at the wedding of that pathetic Shinning Armor and princess Cadence, I thought you were nothing but a stupid filthy EARHT PONY!" Chrysalis screamed. Pressing her hoof down tightly, Chrysalis watched as the orange mare grit her teeth in pain. The changeling queen smirked and lowered her head until she was nose to nose with Applejack. "It's weird...that a normal Earth Pony like you...could be the daughter of Ares...the god of WAR!" Chrysalis smiled. "Ah ain't a bloody daughter of War! Yah crazy you changeling biach!" Applejack snarled. "Oh but you are Applejack! Isn't it strange that you keep dreaming about Arma? Isn't it strange that you are always stubborn when ponies want to help?" Chryalis asked. "SHAD UP!" Applejack shouted. "NEVER! UNTIL I FULFIL MY GOAL!" Chyraliss screamed. Applejack froze, Chryalis smiled. "Oh now you're curious little Applejack?" Chryalis cooed "Shad up!" Applejack snarled, squirming once more. "Oh no Applejack...I won't 'Shad Up' I'm going to fulfil my role in your prophecy...and I'm going to play it well!" Chrysalis laughed "FUCK OFF!" Applejack snarled "It ain't nice to swear in front of the soon-to-be-Queen of Equestria!" Chrysalis hissed. "As long as I live an breath y'all never take Equestria! Biach!" Applejack growled, spitting in the Changeling's face. The Queen recoiled and Applejack quickly to her chance, using her last sap of strength, Applejack lifted the black hoof and kicked Chrysalis right in the face, the queen screamed and lightened her horn, Applejack rolled out of the way as the green energy blasted and wizzed above her. Quickly Applejack ran to her sword. "Oh no you don't!" Chrysalis screamed. With a smile Chrysalis lightened her horn once more and blasted, Applejack spun around but was to late, the large green beam hit her square on the chest, and Applejack was sent flying into the air. Chrysalis smiled and flapped her glassy wings and hovered over Applejack's sword, smiling she reached for it. But the sword merely glowed bright red and scorched the changelings hoof. Chrysalis screamed and staggered clutching her hoof in her other hoof. Applejack groaned and lifted her head, her vision blurred, but she was able to see Chrysalis's horn glow and heal her scorched hoof. Applejack felt her eyes droop...a eager command filled her mind. No! Ah can't give up now! Not when everypony will be in danger! Applejack thought Chrysalis slowly forced on her magic and the sword, slowly the green aura surrounded the sword, smiling Chrysalis hovered the sword by Applejack. Smiling Chrysalis placed the sword next to the pain-filled orange mare. Lowering her head Chrysalis whispered one sentence to the orange mare. "Good luck on Earth....Arma.." Chrysalis whispered, as her horn glowed emerald green. And with a flash of green and red, Applejack disappeared... Darkness, darkness everywhere. The cold whispers of the tortured souls filled the creatures ears, snarling he swatted them away with his hoof. The creature tried his best to make the trout red souls disappear..but they just kept coming, angrier and moaniner than the last time. The creature rolled his eyes and lifted himself from the cold icy floor. The creature smiled whe the souls moans began to dissaper from his ears. He was so close, to ruling his empire..But he failed. The creature remember with hate boiling in his heart, he remembered the falling green and purple dragon, the gleaming blue and white crystal heart falling from the sky. The pink idiotic lovey-Dover Alicorn seeing his heart away, the pitiful happy crystal ponies using there powers to destroy him.. But they failed, he was still alive, angrier than ever. The creature laughed, a cold insane laugh, the cold cells of the laugh echoed through his icy prison...Tiny whisps of green and purple engery formed and flowed out of the creatures eyes... CRACK The creature pricked up his ears hate and hope filled his soul, lifting his head he smiled, tiny shards of ice fell down his prison, his hellhole...was being destroyed. The creature could feel and taste his freedom, the cold voices of the tormented souls were finally departing... The creature-...no Sombra, ruler of Darkness and Hate, the true ruler of the Crystal Empire...was being free. Sombra laughed as the crack grew wider and wider, as the icy shards fell around him...as the feel of newfound freedom closed around him.. Sombra smiled..a evil cold smile, that could call your very spine.. "Seems like little Arma is going home...this is just perfect..the prophecy is coming little Arma..be prepared..." Sombra laughed.

Chapter SevenThis Chapter is dedicated to my brother who is annoying yet very persuasive to people including thyself -----------------Daughter Of War-------------- It is time, her prophecy reawakens, the queen of gods and goddess that tried to stop this horrible prediction has failed. Arma has returned, her powers will grow stronger by each day, not that she knows that she even had powers...yet.. The prophecy is whispering in go her dreams and reality, her sword will need to be sharper, her wits must stay with her. Her wisdom must not fail her. What is the prophecy you may ask? Dear reader I should not tell, for, few live to breath the prophecy to another, I however, was lucky. Arma has returned to the world she was born in, her breath is not gone yet so don't be to worried dear reader. Come, sit, and wait for Arma's eyes to reawaken when she decided to wake. My name? My you do ask a lot of question is it not? My dear reader my name is Athena. Ah so you have heard of me? Well then there will be no problems, yet. What? You ask of what is Arma's fate? My dear reader that is for the Fates and Fates alone to decide, I cannot hold the string of life and death, but, as I said before, Arma is fine... ... Applejack? Is that her name she was given long ago? Dare I say that is a strange yet familiar name- Applejack Danials? Beer? My word I say that shall be a problem for dear Arma..I don't think she'll like the reactions when she meets new friends and enemies.. What's that? Her past? My dear you shouldn't ask many questions, wisdom is both a blessing and a curse, to have wisdom of what has happened might haunt you for the rest of your life.. But now I cannot tell you, but I can show you. Dear reader Ar-Applejack will be waking up soon, so take this cold coin and throw it into the fountain over there if you will. ...... Good now watch the image and Applejack will be revealed, maybe her past as well. ....... Fluttershy? My dear I have no kin called Fluttershy, though I would like to admit a daughter called that maybe be useful in wars, a less common name can get you around tricky objects without notice. Now watch dear reader, and follow Applejack in her new journey, both sadness and happiness will follow her as she wakes.. -----------------------Daughter Of War----------------- All were happy.. "Ares.." Whispered a voice The god sighed and unfolded his arms from his child and beloved, clenching his teeth he placed his hands onto his sword sheath and hooked his fingers around the hilt. "Now Ares there will be no violence, you know who will win" the voice scolded. Both Elizabeth and Arma stared at the figure before them, a beautiful lady with a soft silk dress flowing down and onto the hospital floor like a river of beauty. Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, she didn't like the way the women smiled and gazed at her baby in a frightened and angry sort of manner. Ares however, unsheathed his sword and pointed the sharp end right at the women's throat, Elizabeth gasped as a soft gleam of golden blood spilled from her neck, but, the women didn't even mind. "What do you want Hera?" Ares snarled, never taking his flaming eyes of the women. "Hera?" Elizabeth gasped, she had heard of the Greek gods, but the queen? Damn she was lucky to even hear or see her! "Yes dear Elizabeth" Hera smiled, the mother blinked, Hera only just gave her a warm happy smile. "Don't you even dare!" Ares snarled, pushing his sword harder, making more golden blood flow down. "Ares please!" Elizabeth begged "she means no harm!" "Yes Ares...please lower your sword, wouldn't want to disappoint your dear lady?" Hera whispered, smirking. Oh how Ares wanted to kick that damn bitches head off and feed it to Hades undead, oh how he wanted to slice her heart and throw it into the depths of Tartarus, oh how he wanted to kill her in multiple and horrible ways. But his love over his lover won over the war god, lowering his sword Hera began to walk over to Elizabeth, her eyes widening every second she stepped close. Ares narrowed his eyes, careful he sheathed his sword as he followed Hera to both his lover and child, and every second he had a dark feeling that Hera was up to something. "My dear, what is your child's name?" Hera asked, as she stepped at the side of Elizabeth's hospital bed. "Arma.." Elizabeth replied, feeling sick at the sight of Hera's nice eyes, those nice welcome eyes made Elizabeth's spine freeze up. "Arma...such a nice name.." Hera echoed. Elizabeth turned to Ares, mouthing 'I now regret this', but, Arma seemed to be fine with Hera, with her soft tiny little fingers she lifted her hand and, here the funny part, slapped Hera right on her nose. Silence in the room... Then a loud rumbling of laughter escaped Ares mouth, followed by Elizabeth and Arma's own laughs. Hera herself was speechless. Ares however, was laughing so hard he heard the distant rumbling of thunder in the beyond, Elizabeth had stopped as soon as she received another creepy nice glare from Hera. Ares kept on laughing still. "So fragile isn't she?" Hera asked, lifting her hands. "Yeah.." Elizabeth admitted, kissing her baby's forehead. "And defenceless without her mother, just like any other creature.." Hera added, her hand glowing white as snow. At this moment Ares, finally stopped laughing and froze, Hera's creepy smile grew wider by any second that passed. Without unsheathing his sword first, which he should have, Ares charged. Elizabeth lifted her head her once happy smile changed from happiness to horror, Hera's smile slowly turned from welcoming to anger. "I am sorry my dear, but neither of you can live" Hera sighed. The white flash brightened, Ares roared and blocked his eyes, screams echoed through the room, and the soft voice of crying filled the two immortals ears. The light slowly faded away, and Ares collapsed onto his knees, Hera sighed and began to exit the room, her work was done. "Elizabeth no.." Ares plainly said. The ashes of his lover sweat across the room like a wave of the cool water of the seas, the god of war clenched his fist, anger boiled inside him. "I had to do it Ares...without the mother Arma would die.." Hera sighed. "You killed Elizabeth in cold blood just so you could kill Arma? What kind of sick twisted bitch are you!" Ares snarled, heaving himself up and thrusting his face towards the goddess. "Ares I am really sorry but it had to be done!" Hera snarled back, her patience running thin. "IT WASN'T HER FAULT YOU COWARD BITCH!" Ares snarled. "ARMA WOULD OF KILLED US ALL!" Hera screamed. Arma however was still on the bed, throwing the soft ashes of her mother into the air like confetti, not that she knew that the ashes where her mother anyways... A soft giggle escaped Arma's lips and both Hera and Ares turned their heads to face the little girl, Hera lifted her hand at once determined to stop the prophecy from coming true. Ares clenched his teeth and threw himself in front of Arma, unsheathing his sword as he did so. "GET OUT OF THE WAY ARES!" Hera screamed. "GET OUT OF THE WAY OR I'LL DO IT BY FORCE!" The goddess added. "NEVER!" Ares snarled. "So be it.." Hera sighed. Quick as a flash the goddess snapped her fingers, a soft light shinned and Arma, while giggling, was lifting into the air by a soft colour of golden aura. "NO!" Ares shouted, charging at Hera. Hera rolled her eyes, snapping her fingers again Ares found himself surrounded by hundreds of cows, each blowing soft wind of anger from their nostrils, Ares could only watch as Hera spun little Arma around and around. "Strange that something so small can kill something so big.." Hera sighed. "No.." Ares snarled, charging at the first cow and slicing it's head clean open. "Goodbye little Arma..have sweet dreams.." Hera whispered. And in a bright flash of light, that could burn you eyes right out of you sockets, both Hera, and Arma disappeared... And Ares alone was left fighting the hundreds of cows, with anger and hatred building in his heart and maybe, maybe even sadness. Author's Note VERY SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT!
