The Dragon War: The Oncoming Battle

The Dragon War: The Oncoming Battle

Prologue:

The past is filled with wonders and dark times

Equestria is a world populated by four legged equine creatures called ponies, and there are four different types of ponies first the unicorns who are the magical beings which have the ability to hold things with their magic and learning new spells, second the Pegasi they are more the athletic type and spend most of their time on weather patrol or working in the weather factory in Cloudsdale made from clouds where most Pegasus ponies don't just work there, but some are residence of the cloud city.

The third species in Equestria are earth ponies who have no wings or horns but what they do have is their strength and what they do is tend to their land and grow crops and flowers and other type of plants, and the fourth race of ponies are the rarest and most powerful as they are bigger than the other three races, and they have large wings, a horn as they possess powerful advanced magic and they also share the same strength as earth ponies they were known as alicorns, who were royalty and became guardians of the land since they were more powerful and knew the ways of battle, leadership and power.

When Equestria was discovered by the Pegasi, unicorns and earth pony tribes who came together in harmony, also became the celebration of Hearths Warming Eve.

Two Alicorns one a white alicorn mare with a flowing mane and tail with fire colours her name was Queen Sunflare. she had the ability to control nature in all it's different forms and she also had the power to bring the sun out to make way for dawn, a Alicorn stallion with a dark blue grey coat and a short dark blue mane and tail which was sparking like the night sky and flowing like flames, his name was King Orfores, he had the ability to bring the moon out to make way for the night.

He was Equestria's protector and whenever there was either a war on the land, he would always fight along side his soldiers, but since then everything was kept in harmony the Queen had fallen pregnant and the King thought of a castle in the Everfree Forest would be more calming for them to raise their offspring, rather than Canterlot since it wasn't the peaceful place to raise royal foals.

Besides Queen Sunflare didn't feel comfortable to have these mortal ponies bother them just because the Queen was pregnant, so they unfolded their wings and took off, and traveled through a field and as they flew through the forest to a wooden bridge and in front of them was the castle. The King was called off due to another war this time it was a griffin invasion, Queen Sunflare rested in the castle and gave birth to her first foal, a white alicorn filly with a flowing pink mane and tail and named her Celestia.

Queen Sunflare was feeling the happiest she had ever been, when King Orfores got back from the Griffin war he was beaming with pride and he decided too address the Eternal Herd of the news, they were only worried as they could for-see the future and all it's events.

A couple of years had past and Sunflare had another foal a dark grey alicorn colt and Orfores named him Markarthus which means guardian of heroism in the Herds language, he was dark grey with a dark neon red mane and tail flowing like flames, Celestia was a nine year old filly who was adventurous and wanted to explore Equestria whenever King Orfores went to Canterlot to still fulfil the royal duties he sometimes brought Celestia to show her around Equestria and telling her she'll one day rule Equestria.

When Celestia found out she going to have a sibling, she was exciting since a filly her age never had many friends since her Orfores forbidden her to make friends with the mortal ponies, since royal alicorns think that mortal ponies are good for nothing worthless scavengers looking to rob the rich and feed the poor.

Sunflare was a proud mother and was always worried when the two siblings went off in the gardens together, so she always had one of the royal guards to watch over the siblings, and it was the start when Celestia came into contact with a dragon.

"Princess Celestia you are forbidden to wander anywhere else" said the royal guard reaching out his hoof out "don't worry captain Breezewing we're not that far away from the castle"

Celestia responded while still walking on with the dark grey coat on her back smiling.

Until she bumped into a strange being that felt like it had hard scales, Celestia quickly shook her head repeatedly and looked up to see nostrils flaring like they were going to let out fire, Celestia was confused and couldn't understand why this creature seemed so... angry.

"Who are you strange creature" Celestia spoke sounding brave the dark blue creature as he crawled down and frowned at Celestia

"who I'm I? Who I'm I..." He makes Celestia walk backwards

"I'm General Fireclaw" he was then interrupted

"AWAY FROM MY CHILDREN!!!!!"  King Orfores said in his royal Canterlot voice as flew in front of Fireclaw

"you must be King Orfores shouldn't you be living in Canterlot" Fireclaw smirked evilly

"you broke through the Barrier Fireclaw" Orfores growled

"the Draco'dim's pride dragons don't usually bother with ponies" Orfores continued "what you gonna do Orfores tell my master HA good luck with that" he smirked and he flew away he did a evil chuckle.

Celestia and Markarthus were confused and when their father turned around and faced them  but his eyes were more on Celestia as he frowned

"follow me" he said sounding angry and disappointed, Markarthus was levitated on his father's back as Celestia walked feeling ashamed, Orfores gave captain Breezewing a nod as he followed behind Celestia.

Sunflare was walking back to the throne room when Orfores was walking in with stern look on his and she was concerned seeing ashamed Celestia walking behind her father, Markarthus was levitated off his father's back and ran to his big sister and gave her a comforting hug, Celestia didn't welcome the gesture.

"I'm sorry father" Celestia said quietly, Orfores's ears twitched when he heard that quiet murmur

"your sorry" he started out quiet but then loud "your sorry! sorry isn't good enough seeing how you could of been killed and not only put yourself in danger but you put your brother in danger as well" Orfores shouted in a growly voice.

Outside  Equestria's Barrier out in the Far East the Draco'dim pride dragons lived and hunted for dragons who have lost their purpose and have let greed and gluttony take over them.

The leader who's name was Alralhadar who's scales were as black as night it's self his spines were sharp and jagged like blades the horns on his head resembled the shape of a crown.

Alralhadar had been feeling weak ever since Fireclaw rebelled against him and took most of his powers, he only just had enough strength to have enough magic to answer this communication hologram, and the hologram took the form of king Orfores himself

"if it isn't the alicorn king of Equestria himself what gives you the right to contact me" he growls in a deep rough booming voice

"one of your pride dragons has broke through the Equestria Barrier says his name is" "FIRECLAW!!!" Alralhadar shouted, Orfores eyes widened when he noticed something off about the dragon king.

"He was my apprentice and he betrayed me and absorbed all of my powers and took them for himself so he can" he gestures with his hands

"take over Equestria and let it be dragon cauntry" Alralhadar spoke, just as Orfores was about to respond to that the dragon king's strength was beginning to weaken and so he lost his connection and the magical hologram faded away.

Orfores and Sunflare were in shock on what they heard Alralhadar say about his apprentice, then everything was in silence, until Sunflare broke the silence "this Fireclaw must be stopped before he does something that will put everypony in Equestria at risk" "best thing we can do is to keep Celestia and Markarthus safe."

Another year had past and nothing bad happened Celestia and Markarthus had grew into their teens and gained their cutie marks, Celestia did what her mother did by practicing raising the sun making way for the dawn, and a picture of a sun appeared on her flank and her mane and tail changed colour from just being light pink instead it was a mixture of light pink with light green and light blue.

Markarthus was able control nature in different forms and had excellent skills to learn necromancer spells which gave him the title grand prince of the earth, his cutie mark was a picture of a sword flowing with magic with wings sticking out.

Sunflare had become pregnant again and gave birth to a dark blue alicorn filly with a dark blue coat just like her father and her flowing mane and tail with a purple outline and sparkling like the night sky, the Orfores named his second daughter Luna.

Celestia spent more time with her little sister then her parents and Markarthus, it was good enough seeing how both the king and queen had to go too Canterlot to discuss with the rest of the captain of the royal guard and the hologram of the past royals of the Eternal Herd about what to do about Fireclaw.

Only this time the king and queen had been in Canterlot and didn't get back to Everfree Castle till about midnight, Celestia was looking after Luna and Markarthus kept a lookout and after Celestia put Luna to bed, then she walked to the throne room where Markarthus was pacing waiting for their parents

"brother why aren't you asleep" Celestia exclaimed. Markarthus turned his head and saw his big sister standing on top of the stairs

"I could ask you the same thing big sister" his head turned an inch to the direction where Luna's room is and quickly glanced at Celestia

"Luna asleep" he spoke as he stopped pacing, Celestia gently nodded she was about to speak until they heard a loud commotion outside the main entrance, the two sibling quietly opened the door and saw something that would terrify them for the rest of their immortal lives.

"SUNFLARE!!!" Orfores shouted as he fired a lightening spell at Fireclaw blasting him backwards towards the forest trees, Orfores quickly galloped towards Sunflare who was badly

injured and gently pulled the silver enchanted dagger out of her chest, and she was barely breathing

"no..." Orfores said quietly as he nuzzled Sunflare on her cheek.

He slowly lifted his head up and saw Celestia and Markarthus peeking their heads through the door, Fireclaw quickly pulled out another silver enchanted dagger and threw it at Orfores's heart he didn't make a sound as he collapsed and died.

Fireclaw turned his head and spotted the two sibling and all he respond with was an evil chuckle, Markarthus felt rage boil inside him and bursted out from behind the door and started firing a lightening spell at Fireclaw as the dark blue cyborg dragon flew away.

Celestia took care of her little sister Luna and taught her everything their parents taught her, Markarthus was so angry him and his older sister fell apart and hardly ever spoke to each other and hardly saw Luna seeing how Celestia didn't want nothing to do with Markarthus and his violent ways, but Luna was to smart for that and always sneaked into Markarthus's room which made him smile as she always at any chance she could would always keep him company.

A couple of years had past and Luna had grown up earned her cutie mark which was a moon, which meant she took over the job her father had by raising the moon to make way for the night, but there was a problem nopony seem to care about her beautiful night as they always slept through it, and none of the mortal ponies would appreciate her and would always favour Celestia.

While Prince Markarthus forged his army on the outskirts Celestia and Luna protected Equestria and their subjects by using the elements of harmony which are very powerful gems that came from the tree of harmony hidden underneath the Everfree castle near the bridge to the entrance, the two sisters gathered the elements of harmony to defeat the Draconequus known as Discord from turning Equestria into the chaos capital of the world.

As the two sisters went to receive the elements they weren't the only ones, Fireclaw and his second in command named Sappscale; had came to corrupt the elements of harmony but they were defeated as Prince Markarthus rushed in and fought the two dragons to protect his sisters.

But nothing was gonna stop Fireclaw the war was on.
