Lunar Awakening
Prelude: The Attack on Canterlot
Previous ChapterIt was a bright sunny day in Canterlot, birds chirping, ponies talking, and the occasional two ponies walking into each other because: To look rich and sophisticated, you have to hold your head up and close your eyes while walking which is asking for trouble. The princesses, in their respective towers, were doing what they usually did. Luna would play some new game she recently acquired, and Celestia would have the most fun! Signing the 10 pound stack of paperwork, long story short, if you have to choose between controlling the Sun or Moon, go with the moon, as you can have fun all day with a few interruptions, make the moon appear and then sleep. That was what the day usually was.
But you know what they say: Explosions are fun! Until they ruin everything. That's EXACTLY what happened. A cute little Ray of yellow light exploded grow the Windows sending everything but the kitchen sink 3 feet, and that's when your brain tells you to panic, which is what proceeded as multiple explosions hitting every part of the castle from every angle.Panic rose immensely from the ponies presiding in the tower. However the civilians couldn't care less. They were too busy with running into each other.
Two particular ponies, who we will not name because they're only important at this very moment and thus would be a waste of time to say, bumped not into each other, but some metal pony. Not the Iron Pony, he's a nice guy,who explodes villains! Not princesses. This was just some pony in very fancy armor and a white horn with lasers shooting out of said horn. Normal everyday stuff,oh wait, No it isn't. That's when everyone started to panic. Guard after guard rushing to battle with javelins drawn, they charged against the Metal Laser Pony. All seemed would be okay, until the giant explosion knocking every guard out of Canterlot that was 7x the power of the previous explosions happened, as you can guess that didn't help the panic problem.
Or did it? As soon as that happened a light shown and next thing anypony knew, the pony was gone. The damage still remained however, and using the crazy telepathic powers alicorns have, Luna and Celestia agreed on one thing:
They didn't have a good feeling about this.
Another changeling threat had surfaced and then they had a pony with insane magic annihilating everything. Which sounds fine, if you didn't rule one of the biggest country's in the world. And trust me, that isn't what you call fun, it's called stressful,and I have PLENTY experience on that subject. The point of the matter is that life in Equestria isn't as perfect as it would seem. Not one bit.
