The Draconaques of the Crystal Empire

Pinkie trotted over to her little, brightly lit stand of fabric people- waiting to have Pinkies hoof in their bodies. But, puppets could not move. They were not real of corse. January 6th. The forth, since the biggest Festival of Fools. For festivals ago, it was sad, tragic, and happy. A little fun to.

Pinkie went behind the stand waiting for fillies to crowd it. Today was good for, bits of corse. Today would be a big pay day for Pinkie for every one would be roaming, rummaging the streets for something out of the ordinary to do. Pinkie was open to anything out of the ordinary.

Suddenly, a group of fillies waddled over and sat in front of Pinkie puppet stand. They looked up in awe and amazement.

"Would you fillies like to here a story" asked Pinkie.

"Yes" replied the young children. Their little hooves clapped in excitement, ready for a good story.

"Have I got one for you" said Pinkie beaming with laughter.

"It's about the "it" that lived in the Door of your deepest fears"

The fillies eyes lit up with knowledge already. We're they in for a story.

"Alright" said Pinkie picking up the appropriate puppets to tell the tale.

"It is a tale, a tale of a man, and the monster"

And so the story began.

Dark was the night when the tale had begun on the docks near the Crystal Empire. Gypsies on there boat, escaping the forbidding rules made by Judge Sombra. The boat rower stopped.

"Pay me the bits"

He demanded holding out his hoof.He stared at the one gypsie that had the odd looking child. Even though she was a pony, her child was an awkward looking thing. It was part pony, part lion, part dragon, part goat, part snake and many other unusual creatures.

The gypsies were about to pay him, when guards dressed in black approached them rapidly but with caution. They held spears sharp, and with enough effort in one throw could kill. The pony with the odd child's husband looked at the gray wall were movement was amuck. It was a shadow of none other than the evil Sombra himself. He snorted as he appeared in the light eyes glowing red.

"Bring these gypsie vermin to the Palace of Justice" Sombra spoke again.

All ponies were chained, and when the guard got to the mother pony, the only female of the group he saw she had something huddled close to herself.

"What are you hiding" he shouted in her ear. Sombra took note.

"Goods no doubt, take then from her" said Sombra.

The pony ran, she ran as the blizzard the Pegasus had promised to come tonight kicked in. She being a Pegasus though she could fly away. But when she flapped nothing happened. Apparently the blizzard toke affect quick because it froze her wings. She ran not just for her life, but for her child's and The Sanctuary. She could claim safety there. As she ran she saw a short cut leading to The Sanctuary. She jumped the fence  in witch Sombra could not. Sometimes not having food was a good thing, unhealthy but good for fitting into tiny areas nonetheless.

She jumped the fence panting, The Sanctuary only ten leaps away. She slammed into The Sanctuary, and when she recovered banged her hoof on the door rapidly.

"Let me in" she cried........ No answer.

She hit it even faster but nothing would open. Suddenly she felt a tug on her shoulder. The figure was strong enough to whip her around. It was Sombra. he grabbed her bundle, but she hung onto her odd child for dear life. They fough for the bundle when Sombre came to a conclusion he was not prepared for. He bucked her abdominal area hard, as the bundle became lose by the females hooves. She fell the ground seconds after, not breathing, not moving. All Sombra could hear was the wind and...... Crying.

He lifted the bundle to see it was a baby. The bundle was a baby. No ordinary one though.

"It's a monster" muttered Sombra. He swiftly looked around for a way to conclude the babies life fast.

He then saw a well, probably cold from the raging blizzard. He trotted over with the bundle carrying the baby in his mouth. He was about to drop it in when he heard a door creak open loudly and a wild whiny of,

"STOP" it was the Holy Pony, the one that honored Celestia to her highest Luna.

"You would kill a woman, drown her child, you can never escape the sins you have done in the eyes of Celestia" he looked up at the statues that told the story of the life of Celestia. All the eyes staring down at him.

"Fine" said Sombra.

"I will raise him, but he will live in your church. In the door of fears"

"Very well" replied Luna.

"Even this foul creature may approve one day to be of use to me"

"And Sombra gave the child a cruel name" concluded Pinkie.

"A name that mean chaos, Discord" then Pinkie broke out into song for her finally as she always did. At this point she had drawn a large crowd.

"Now, here's a riddle to guess if you can from the fears off the crystal empire- who tell the truth- and who tells the lies sing the song, song, song, song, song, song, song, song song of the Crystal Empire"

And she hit that last big long high-powered not and blew the small crowd away with her talent.

"Would you like me to finish the story" the large crowd nodded.

"Then here I go" she giggled and she was ready to begin.
