King Sombra's Resurrection
Chapter One Canterlot Library
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIn Canterlot there was a pony that was white with a flowing mane, colored pink, light blue-green, purple, and a darker blue-green. Her eyes were pink and she had a sun cutie mark. For she was an alicorn. For those who don’t know what an alicorn is, an alicorn is a princess, that is part unicorn and part pegasus. Her name is Princess Celestia.
She was walking down the streets of Canterlot in the rain and walked into a doughnut shop. Inside the shop was an earth colt with a white hat, a brown mane, and a doughnut cutie mark. His name was Doughnut Joe. His eyes opened wide seeing the princess here and he shook off the shock, and said "What will it be Princ----?". He looked at her up closely as she walked up to the counter in pain. He saw that she was scratched up quite a lot. He asked "How did this happen to you Princess Celestia?”
Excuse me I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s look at how this all began.
Our story begins in the Canterlot Library. Princess Celestia was walking into a section of the library that was the history of Ponyville, The Crystal Empire, Canterlot, Everfree Forest, and Equestria. There were many books and ponies sitting on benches reading books. One colt had a blue mane that was wild. It was curly and booft up sorta like an afro. His body was a midnight blue, the color of his eyes were a calm lime green with a bit of a panicked look in his eyes. His cutie mark was a quill and parchment scroll, the quill’s feather was red and the parchment scroll had a red wax seal on it. He looked around the room, shaking nervously a bit, then said unknowingly out loud "His power, I feel his power, he will return". Everypony heard what he said but shrugged it off thinking he was crazy or odd. Then a gray mare with a beautiful black mane, with a light purple treble clef cutie mark, wearing a white collar bow tie around her neck, walked up to him accompanied by a white mare with dark and light blue highlights in her mane and tail wearing purple shades and a double note cutie mark, "Come on Octi he's just a crazy colt, look at his eyes". Octavia said to Vinyl Scratch "He is not crazy, something does rather feel odd and I wish I knew how to explain it", the blue colt said to her "is it like a dark feeling? A feeling of fear? Something out of place but you can't quiet put your hoof on it?". Octivia said "Yes, that’s exactly the feeling I’m getting. Do you know what’s going on?" she asked. "Yes, it is him, He will return and when he does, the first thing he is going to do is rule over Equstria, then rule over every part where ponies, pegasi, unicorns, and alicorns live. He must be stopped. We must prevent his return".
Octavia asked "Who are you?". He looked at her and said "There are two things about me. First I am Equestria's historian, second my name is Penmanship Pembroke". Octavia thought who is he? Penmanship moved closer to Octavia and whispered to her something, She responded loudly "Really?" He said to her, "shhh" and went on saying "yes and if you can, if you both can get out of here, go and find a safe place".
With that, all three of them left the room, leaving Princess Celestia looking over the books on the shelves, She placed her hoof on a red book with gold bands and a blank title. Her horn glowed a light yellow and it surrounded the book, causing it to slide out of
shelf and float over to the table. She blew off the dust that the book had collected over the years. The red cover had faded and the gold still sparkled. It had not rusted or deteriorated. Princess Celestia opened the book and read the first page, it was dated 1300 Tuesday, September seventh. A new royal heir has come to this castle. We the council, are concerned about what will happen if this new heir does not take rule and continue the bloodline of royalty. She closed the book and put it back on the shelf. She was in a state of shock and whispered to herself "It can't be him".
