Ruined Canterlot

It all began when the queen, Chrysalis, attacked Canterlot. We were caught off guard, and stood very little chance..I am alone, attempting to make my way out of this place. This, *Ruined Canterlot.***

“I personally am going to leave the city and seek refuge in Ponyville, where Twilight Snarkle and her friends live. Not that I, the Great and Powerful Trixie, am worried about the war. I simply don’t want to get involved” Trixie was speaking aloud to herself, boasting about how she didn’t care, even though she was absolutely terrified of changelings ever since she saw on for the first time, disguised as her caretaker. “Well, better get the stage together, and get out of this sorry excuse of a capital.”

"Trixie! Leave the stage, you must get out of here, the changelings will arrive at any moment!" Trixie's follower had burst into the mare's room, trying to get her to leave.

"The great and powerful Trixie will not leave her stage, Trixie will stay here and kill anyone who opposes me. Including you, now leave Trixie be!"

Surprised at her sudden outburst, and the threat to kill him, the stallion left the room as quickly as possible.

"Trixie will not leave her life's work to a few mere changelings... Trixie will kill them all if need be." Little did she know, it would not be a "few mere changelings" it would be hundreds, thousands, and even millions if need be. Canterlot would fall, the queen would make sure of that..

Trixie walked out with her stage in tow, walking towards the edge of Canterlot, seeing very few ponies, well, live ponies.. The ground around littered with the corpses of dead royals, high class ponies, and servants. She paid little attention to the bodies, until a familiar one caught her eye. It was... The body of her rival, Twilight Sparkle.. She had over used her magic, causing a massive disruption and a spell backfired on her. She could tell by the broken horn.. Trixie didn't know how to feel.. "Twilight Sparkle, it looks like I.." Trixie stopped, she couldn't say this, even she had feelings.. "Rest now, Twilight Sparkle, you died for your country, I will kill that queen, that bit..

-She was cut off by a flare of green, when every single body around her, including Twilight Sparkle’s, had all transformed into changelings. "A TRICK!" Trixie exclaimed loudly, as she readied herself for the fight that was soon to start. Every single changeling, as if controlled by a single mind, attacked Trixie. Biting at her, beating her with their hooves, and flailing their wings to keep her in the blind. Trixie fiercely fought off the attackers, but to little avail..

She was quickly overpowered, and she stopped attacking.. Accepting her fate, she stood very still.. and began to cry. When nearly all of the changelings were upon her, she heard a loud blast. Then another, two, three, and four in rapid succession. She felt the weight of the changelings leave her as they went flying through the air.

"Run you filthy changelings, run to your sorry excuse of a queen!" An unfamiliar voice called out to her, "Are you okay, I was passing by on my way to the exit, and I saw a large group of changelings crying out in dominance.” Trixie studied the pony before answering, Trixie knew she was a unicorn, given she used blast magic or magic at all. She had a dark, royal purple coat, her mane was a mix of black and white alike,it was thrown out in the front, in streaks,  and her eyes, a vibrant red. She wore a red jacket, so Trixie could not see her cutie mark. It was then when Trixie noticed the most odd thing about this mysterious unicorn. Her horn, was broken. Snapped in two.

It was then when Trixie spoke, “I appreciate your help, though I must keep on moving.” Trixie then noticed her habit of speaking in first person whenever she was actually sincere.

“Wait, we should walk together, for safety.”

This pony has a voice smooth as marble, but still as commanding as iron. It sounded as if she had never used it louder than a whisper. Trixie wondered, should she walk with this pony? She ultimately decided to walk with her, for her safety, not the pony’s. “Okay, before we go, what is your name?” Trixie asked.

“Glistening Rainbow, my name is Glistening Rainbow.”

“I am..”

“Trixie” The purple unicorn said abruptly.

“How did you..”

“You’re a famous show-pony, I've seen your shows around the city.”

Trixie hadn't thought about that, “One more thing before we set off, do you have any idea why the queen attacked?”

“No” said Glistening Rainbow as she turned behind her

The two ponies walked towards the exit, and talked very little.

“How long have you been in Canterlot?” Trixie asked,

“All my life, I've actually never been allowed to leave the castle section of the city.. My mother wouldn't let me.”

Surprised by her answer, Trixie stopped. “You’ve, never left the castle grounds? That’s horrible.. I’m sorry your mother was so strict.”

“My mother is a fair and kind mare, she did what was best for me.” Glistening Rainbow answered, raising her voice.

Trixie thought to herself, “No matter how angry she gets that voice just soothes me. It’s like she has the voice of angels.”

The two walked and talked until Trixie asked the wrong question. “What happened to your horn? I know you used magic earlier, but I’ve never seen a unicorn with a broken horn, well a live one anyway.”

Glistening Rainbow stopped in her tracks and began to cry. Trixie, realizing her mistake, tried to console her, but her efforts were futile and the second she began to speak, Glistening Rainbow ran off ahead of Trixie. A few seconds passed, and Trixie heard a loud yell, followed by a sickening *thud.* Trixie quickly spun on her hooves, and saw a changeling swing a pipe covered in a red liquid towards her head. Then suddenly, black.
