~Sun Dusk Meet's The Prophecy~
Created by: MuffinDuffers
The sun was rising that morning to awaken Princess Sun Dusk from her deep slumber. She did not exactly 'like' to get up in the morning.
But this was a special day, she would finally find out who the prophecy was. She would also find out she had a mother. Sun Dusk got her gold hoove polish and began painting, her father called to her from across the hall, "Breakfast is ready." He said in a serious voice.
"Coming!" She called back. "Just one minute," She quickly galloped down the stairs, sliding across the tile flooring, slipping from the floor into her chair. "Good morning!" She exclaimed.
"Princess Sun Dusk the first! How many times have I told you, 1. Not to gallop down the stairs. You could trip on the carpet! 2. Do not slide across the floor, simply trot over to the table. And 3. DO NOT POUNCE INTO YOUR CHAIR!" Sun Dusk rolled her eyes at her father.
"Yeah yeah." The king's face turned a magenta red color. "Sun Dusk, you listen to me, you will obey by my rules, or leave the castle! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Sun Dusk said in a non caring voice "Yes father." The king nodded and returned to eating.
"But," She interrupted her father. "I don't understand why I'm not aloud to have fun! Like the other ponies here. I wanna be happy father." The king then said in a demanding tone "Happiness is no part of being a royal Sun Dusk."
"What's that have to do with anything? I wanna be happy, but you wont let me have that! You wont let me have my rights! Nor freedom!"
"Sun Dusk," She then interrupted not paying attention. "I want to be able to go outside! Explore the world! You wont let me do anything without me getting into trouble!" The king growled.
"To your room." "No!" She exclaimed. "I said, TO YOUR ROOM!" The kings face turned bright red. "And I said, NO!"
"GO NOW! GAURDS! TAKE MY DAUGHTER- EM, THE PRINCESS TO HER ROOM! NOW!!" The king was furious but when the guards came, Sun Dusk kicked and hit, trying to get out of their grip.
"Get off of me! Grr!" She kicked one of the guards in their stomach, leaving behind a mark in their stomach. The guard rolled on the ground in pain while the other brought her to her room, slamming the door and locking it.
"Let me out! Let me out!" She cried. The guard did not listen and pretended that nothing had happened trotting back to the king.
She sighed. "Why can't I have a better life, I may have a roof over my head, plenty of food and warmth, but, my father doesn't quite grasp what's out there, beautiful waterfalls, trees, and little towns to complete it." She lay down in her diamond encrusted bed with lapis blue sheets and Ruby red blankets with her face in the blanket.
Sun Dusk then found her self in a white room with nothing around. Not even a cloud or tree. "W-where am I?" She looked around.
"Sun Dusk," said a faint voice, sounding like a mare. "What?" She was frightened. "Who's here? Where am I? Who are you?"
"You have many questions," The mare then giggled. "I like that about you." Sun Dusk was breathing heavily, feeling as if about to faint, a tall beautiful white mare with a rainbow mane and tail appeared in front of Sun Dusk's eyes.
"Wh-who are you?" The mare smiled down at Sun Dusk. "I'm you mother Sun Dusk." She looked confused at the mare. "My what?"
"I'm your mother." The mare repeated. "What's a mother?" Sun Dusk looked puzzled. "A mother is the mare who gives birth the the foal or foals."
Sun Dusk was amazed at the white figure to find out that this magnificent pony was her mother. "Wow, I never knew I had one. My father never told me." She smiled at the mare, the mare smiled back.
"It's about time you knew a bit about me Sun Dusk, and a bit more about your life. I am Princess Celestia of Equestria. All my loyal subjects have been dying to meet you. But, you have to go on a journey to get here where I am Sun Dusk."
"A journey?" "Yes." Said her mother smiling. "It's also about time you meet the prophecy. You are 14 after alll." Sun Dusk tilted her head. "The prophecy?"
"Why yes Sun Dusk, the ones that have saved the universe from Discord." Sun Dusk remembered something. "I know about Discord! He's half pony, half goat, dragon, bird, a lot of things! He's a lack of harmony between ponies right?"
"Correct." Smiled Celestia. "He is a lack of harmony between ponies, he has taken over the universe multiple times. The prophecy has been able to save it multiple times though. He is one of the strongest in the universe, but, I have worn down a few of my powers. So I am not as strong as him anymore."
"Oh, well anyways, about the prophecy, does this have anything to do with the tower in the courtyard?" Asked Sun Dusk anxiously.
"Yes, yes it does. You must go to the tower tomorrow, I will be waiting there for you." Sun Dusk then said sadly, "I can't get in though, there's too many guards around."
"There wont be tomorrow morning." Sun Dusk woke up before she could speak another word. Walking to the window curiously, she saw there were no guards around the tower! She took the risk of getting caught and ran out the castle doors.
She carefully stepped in the tower and looked around at the tattered paintings, moldy roofs, and shredded rugs. She came across a pillar or 2 and saw a stone hidden behind them with broken glass all over the floor.
Sun Dusk walked up there with caution then wiped off a few of the cobwebs revealing the prophecy. She was amazed at the pegasisters and the unicorns. "Wow," she then heard hoof steps. "Gotta hide!" She said quickly, hiding behind the shade of a pillar to see her father walking up the steps towards the prophecy.
"Oh darling dear Celestia, if only I could see your face once again, and the prophecy. Discord had to take you away. I never saw you again. And Sun Dusk has never met her mother. If only she did, she would have loved you, just like I did." The king sighed.
Sun Dusk ran out of the tower to the castle and into her room shutting the door and going into her bed hiding under the ruby sheets.
"I can't let my dad find out I saw my mom or the prophecy. He'll kill me if he finds out. I'll just go back to bed and I'll find my mom another day."
~Sun Dusk Meet's The Prophecy~

Sun Dusk galloped over to the courtyard castle, her mane swaying in the wind.
As she stepped into the forest, darkness poured over her body, the sound of crunching dead brown and orange leaves under her hooves as she took every step.
The princess stopped in her tracks. She had heard something, something strange. As if someone was watching her.
"Aaaaah!" Sun Dusk was soon finding herself falling downhill with another pony! A colt she thought it was, but she couldn't worry about that right now.
As they both reached the bottom, the colt had found himself on top of Sun Dusk. He got up and backed away, as did the princess.
Sun Dusk backed away a bit farther then said, "Who are you? What do you want with me? And why'd you attack me!?"
The young colt about the princesses age spoke, "Sorry, let me properly introduce my self. I am Lewis. Lewis Ancher. Weird last name, I know. I didn't exactly pick it. So, what's your name?"
The princess said with crumbled leaves in her hair looking very surprised and shocked, "Sun Dusk." She said as she was sitting on the ground.
"Wait," Said Lewis. "Sun Dusk....? Princess Sun Dusk? Your maje-" Sun Dusk stopped him right at that moment.
"Don't say your majesty to me. I've been called that enough all my life. Please, just call me Sun Dusk."
"If you say so." He said. "So, where are you heading princes- I mean, Sun Dusk."
She looked up and said, "No where important." Lewis rolled his eyes.
"What?" She asked. "Sun Dusk, no one can be in these woods just for no apparent reason. Now seriously, tell me."
"Oh, I'm sorry, a mare can't just take a walk in the woods? Alright then. Why are you out here? Hmm?" Sun Dusk said.
"I'm out here to find some food for my brothers and me." Sun Dusk tilted her head. "You have to FIND food? You can't just buy it?" Lewis then shook his head.
"Nope, it's different out here. I can't just go to the store and buy anything I want like you can every day." Sun Dusk looked up seeing it was getting dark.
"What's wrong?" Lewis then looked up. "Oh, it's getting dark. Probably you should stay at my place for the night. My brothers are kinda annoying, but you'll get used to it." Sun Dusk turned around, "Fine, I'll stay with you."
Lewis smiled at Sun Dusk. "Alrighty then. Let's get a move on." Lewis trotted off as Sun Dusk quickly followed behind, looking at the gorgeous night scenery as they went.
Soon they spotted the camp sight. Not the best place in the world, but it was kind of nice. "This is the camp sight." Said Lewis as he trotted off to his brothers giving then both a noogie (A playful one).
Sun dusk walked over out into the woods for a few minutes, came back and had a pile of branches and leaves. "What's that?" Asked Lewis giggling slightly.
"You'll see." Smiled Sun Dusk. About 30 minutes later a king and queen size bed, along with 2 others were both created out of all the materials.
Lewis stared in amazement. "Ta da!" Said Sun Dusk smiling. "Whoa! It's, amazing! Can I try one?" Asked Lewis. "Be my guest." Said Sun Dusk.
Lewis trotted over to the king size bed and sat right on it. "Wow! It's extremely comfortable! How'd you make this?" He asked. "Practice Lewis, practice."
His little brothers ran right over to their beds tearing them to shreds trying to make it comfortable. About 5 minutes later, they finally lay down.
Sun Dusk walked over to her bed right beside Lewis's. "Good night." She said smiling. "Night." Lewis replied back. Soon, everyone was asleep.
Sun Dusk then heard a crash in the middle of the night waking her up, including Lewis. "What was that?" She asked Lewis. "I-" He didn't finish the sentence, he was looking over at his little brothers beds, ALL empty.
Lewis was in a panic, a frenzy, having a fright! He looked around anxiously trying to find his brothers, but nothing seemed to be left, just simply the torn apart beds they were sleeping in.
"Where could they have gone?" He asked Sun Dusk as if expecting the answer from her. She just simply shrugged and helped search, but no evidence was found, but then suddenly, Sun Dusk spotted something.
She walked over the the wooden table made entirely of sticks which she had also made, there was bread all over the muddy floor, and some clay wine-like glasses.
"I think I might have found something to help us.." She exclaimed to Lewis, he then walked over examining the muddy bread and clay glasses then he apparently spotted something, something out of the ordinary.
"What is it?" She asked timidly. Lewis held up a strand of orange hair, too light for his brother's;either of them. Sun Dusk snatched it out of Lewis's hoof.
Sun Dusk was then suddenly shocked, she knew exactly who's hair it was. "What is it?" Lewis asked. "I-" She gulped. "I know exactly who's hair this is...."
Lewis looked surprised, then he asked "Who?" Sun Dusk gulped down hard. "L-Lonnie," Lewis tilted his head. "Who?" Sun Dusk rolled her eyes and then said, "A local hobo like person, you know how they are." Lewis nodded.
"So, are you sure this is Lonnie's hair? I mean, their are millions of other ponies with this type of-" Sun Dusk put a hoof over his mouth before he could finish, Sun Dusk dragged him over to a corner and hid behind a large branch.
"What is-" Sun Dusk shushed him and then she pointed to, Lonnie, who was surprisingly well dressed. "He probably stole it from a merchant," Sun Dusk snarled.
"But, what would Lonnie want with good looking clothes?" Sun Dusk shrugged and watched Lonnie scan the area for ponies, when thinking the coast was clear, he sat down on Lewis's bed and relaxed, his eyes closed.
Lewis eeyucked quietly in disgust, but luckily, Lonnie did not hear him. He then pulled out a comic book from the back of him, they both tried not to ask themselves where it came from exactly...
Lonnie then began reading up on super pony models, and local mens wear. We then both eeyucked at the same time, both in disgust we walked silently away.
But, while trying to get away, Lewis stepped on a leaf and made a loud crunching sound, then he began running, grabbing Sun Dusk by the tail. Sun Dusk then sprouted her wings, and picked up Lewis by the mane.
"Whoa!" Lewis said in amazement looking down at Lonnie who was looking up at him, probably wondering, 'What the heck just happened?!'.
Sun Dusk and Lewis then flew off towards a small trading village, known as "Grass Lake". Safely putting Lewis on the ground after landing, a skinny little pony trotted up to them, his grin wide, but he knew something was up.
He looked as if he were only 10 years old, with his short scraggly blonde hair flowing in the wind, his green glasses pressed up against his brown face, and with that, he looked up at Sun Dusk and Lewis, and then asked, "Who are you?"
With that, Sun Dusk introduced herself. "I am Sun Dusk, and this is Lewis. We are here on official business." The young colt tilted his head, then put his right hoof on his right cheek then gasped.
"Sun Dusk, as in, PRINCESS Sun Dusk?" He looked around then bowed. "Your majes-" Sun Dusk put her hoof over his mouth and he blushed, then got up slowly.
"Call me Sun Dusk, please, but may I please ask what your name is?" Sun Dusk asked curiously. "Arthur," The young colt said. "Arthur Collins. Pleasure to meet you, Prin-I mean, Sun Dusk." He then blushed again, his cheeks got redder this time.
"So um, what brings you to Grass Lake?" He asked. "You can answer only if you'd like, I mean, it's not like you have to or anything..." Sun Dusk giggled at Arthur, he looked down.
"Well, like I said earlier, me and Lewis here are on official business. We're searching for something, something important." "Like what?" Arthur asked curiously.
Lewis answered that question, "We're looking for my little brothers, have you seen them? They look a bit like me, caramel colored, green eyes," Arthur stopped him there.
"Oh... you mean them two over there?" He pointed to Lewis's brothers playing in some sand. "There they are!" Lewis and Sun Dusk ran over to them, Arthur quickly following behind them.
Lewis quickly scooped them both up in his hooves and gave one to Sun Dusk, Arthur took him though, struggling to keep him on his back. "I'll take him Sun Dusk."
Sun Dusk just shook her head back and forth and took the colt back. "Sweet heart, I know your trying to help, but these guys are a bit too heavy for you, alright?"
He sighed, then nodded. "I guess, just by a few LBS." Sun Dusk nodded back and gave Arthur a big hug, he blushed. "Well, we have to be going now, we'll see you later, okay Arthur?"
Arthur saw it was getting dark, so did Lewis and Sun Dusk. "Well, maybe you could stay here for the night? It's getting a bit dark, I wouldn't ever go out in the everfree when it's dark."
He shivered. "Way too risky, there are hobo's and crooks, bandits, and also, SPIDERS!" Sun Dusk thought Arthur was convincing, and she followed him with Lewis behind her to a run down shack looking place.
"Is this the garage?" Lewis asked, Arthur turned around and laughed. "No silly, it's the place where your staying for the night, it does look a bit like a garage though.."
Sun Dusk, Arthur, Lewis and his brothers, and walked into the tiny shed. "It's not much, but it'll have to do." Sun Dusk said. Arthur then shook his head at her.
"No, Sun Dusk, this is where Lewis and his brothers are sleeping. Your coming into the house. There's one extra bedroom." He then turned to Lewis and his brothers. "You don't mind, right?"
Lewis shook his head, thinking it's a bit unfair but still, he didn't want to be rude. "Okay, good." Sun Dusk waved to Lewis and followed Arthur to his home.
Lewis sighed when she left, he then lay down in a pile of hay in the corner, his brothers just plain sleeping on the hard wood flooring. Lewis then sighed one last time, then found himself asleep.
