~PROLOGUE~
Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. I worship the goddess of light, Lady Celestia. In legends, it says the Lady Celestia defeated Nightmare Moon, the goddess of darkness! It says that she once raided the land of Equestria, and eternal darkness through out the land! But not for long! It also said that Lady Celestia had brought her down! Quite a war it was. After twenty years, I knew something like that would never happen again, and I would never see Nightmare Moon's face again.......or so I thought.
FILLY TWICARUS UPRISING
Afterwards, nothing much ever happened. Not that it was a bad thing. Around 1:00 PM, I was tending to my library...but, something didn't feel right. I was a little off guard when I thought I saw something outside my window. I can't explain what it was doing, or why it was there. I've never seen such a thing before, and apparently, neither have my books. Suddenly there were more! Way more! Ponyvile has been invested with these.......things! At this point, there were other creatures fly around that I still didn't recognize! Other ponies outside were running about, hiding, protecting their foal, even some tried to step up to these creatures, but were no match. Terror has struck! Then, something else caught my eye. A beam of holy light. In my room. It even came through the roof! My heart skipped a beat when it said........
"Twilight Sparkle"
It was a woman's voice. It seemed so pure. I was so confused, and too afraid to respond. For a second I thought....could it be?
No, it couldn't be! The goddess of light has went off after her battle with Nightmare Moon! But, it would make sense. Has she returned after all these years?!
It said again; "Twilight Sparkle, you must come with me."
I finally said something.
"W-who are you?"
I thought that was the stupidest question I have ever asked. The beam of light going through my roof? The chaos outside? The one I have listened to my entire life?! This HAD to be her! She continued.
"Why Twilight, I thought you knew."
"Your Lady Celestia, the goddess of light. Whats happening?!"
"I can't explain now, enter the light, Twilight."
I did what she told me. I walked right through the light. I felt funny, and things started to white out. I couldn't see anything at this point. I thought for a moment. Out of all the people she could have taken, why me? Maybe there would be others...
...
In a moment or two, I thought I heard Lady Celestia say something.
"Twilight, open your eyes."
I opened my eyes, slowly. When I got my vision back, I didn't see anybody, only a beautiful palace. Celestia began. "Twilight, welcome to my home."
"Uh, Lady Celestia, how come you have brought me here, and why me?"
"I have chosen you to help me. The entire land of Equestria is being attacked by the minions of Nightmare Moon."
Nightmare Moon?! She's back?! I couldn't believe what I heard! It couldn't be possible!
"But Lady Celestia, you defeated her years ago! Your telling me she's been--"
"Resurrected. Yes. Though she was defeated long ago, she's back now. And as the goddess of light, its my duty to protect everypony from her."
"Yes, but how will I help? I can't even fly!"
"It is quite alright. But listen to what I'm about to say. See the door in front of you?"
I saw it alright. It was huge. How could somepony NOT see it? I nodded.
"I want you to walk up to it, and jump out!"
Was she kidding? Jump out? What was in there? At first I didn't want to. I was scared of what was in that door, but I had faith in her. So I did.
~CHAPTER I~
The Return of Celestia
When I jumped, I saw what I have done. The door led to outside! I was falling to my death, I thought so anyway. I was flying! To my surprise, I had wings! Lady Celestia must have granted me wings!
"Th-this is amazing!"
"Isn't it? Its my gift to you! I will be granting you the power of flight until we fix this, er, little problem of ours..."
Our "little" problem? Nightmare Moon's troops are attacking! This couldn't POSSIBLY be little...
"I still can't believe I'm actually flying! This must be what its like for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy! Well, Fluttershy doesn't really fly much, heh heh..."
Suddenly, the sky darkened. Not the slowly beginning to get dark, but in a matter of seconds, the sky has turned of a dark red. This was not good news. Then something arose from the clouds. It was Nightmare Moon. I cursed silently under my breath.
"Nightmare Moon." Celestia said, as if they both knew each other for years. Because they have.
"Ah, hello Celestia. I see you've brought a slave to do your work for you this time. You bring this young filly to me, and expect her to defeat me? How foolish!"
Slave? Really? I know she just wanted to make me angry, but it did seem random of her to choose me to help. In fact, I still don't know why she chose ME! I'm not strong enough! She continued.
"So your here to crash my homecoming party? Its been twenty five years, you know."
"Sorry, but this really doesn't look like much of a party..."
She had on an evil grin as she said: "What better way to celebrate my return than with a festive little bloodbath?"
She disappeared, and the sky turned back to normal. That was just about the scariest moment of my life! Though if I'm helping Lady Celestia take down Nightmare Moon, I'm sure there will be plenty more...
Afterwards, those same creatures from my home, Ponyvile, had come to say hello, if they could. I'm not sure they can speak, but you get the idea.
"Lady Celestia, I'm in trouble here!" Celestia answered:
"Ah! Thank you for reminding me, Twilight!" My hoof started to shine a bright light. Moments later, I was holding a bow that felt so powerful, I felt invincible! Fortunately, I didn't go overboard with being "invincible", I'm 101% sure I wasn't. I don't want to be thinking the wrong things, I'll get killed out there.
And surprisingly, it felt very light, I could get used to this.
"Lady Celestia, they're moving more of their attacks to the ground!"
"Then so are we!"
...
"Twilight, Nightmare Moon has summoned a great monster from the underworld, we must head there now!"
Knowing the fact that all these monsters, including the Goddess of Darkness, came from the underworld made me feel much more comfortable about this. (Sarcasm, I love you) A dozen baddies later, and we had reached a small village with a big colosseum, which I assume is where this monster is hiding. Then I heard something. People cheering?
"Do you hear that? Do you hear the people's cheers?! They're celebrating the return of the goddess Celestia!"
"Despite the underworld invasion, the people haven't lost hope. Its our duty to protect them. Prepare for land battle Twilight!"
"Land battle? What was tha--WOA!"
I wasn't used to landing just yet. She put me into a small passage way. It only took a few moments until I was on my hoofs and knees, gasping for breath. Probably because of flying, it used up most of my energy. I was nervous about going on land and fighting. I'm all alone out here! I hope I haven't lost communication with Lady Celestia...
"Hey Twilight, can you hear me?" Nope, guess I can still talk to her. This made me feel more secure.
"Yes, Lady Celestia, I'm here."
"The colosseum is straight ahead, but save your strength for the battle there."
"Well, why couldn't you just fly me to the colosseum directly?"
"For a good reason, Twilight. You see, I can't have you up in the air the entire time. Only for five minutes. If the time exceeds, your wings will catch fire, and burn up. Then our odds of bringing down Nightmare Moon will be hopeless."
"Ah, right. I...guess I can just walk there."
Three minuets later, I have arrived at my destination. When I started walking inside, it seemed to get a little....hotter. Eventually, I started sweating, for two reasons! One for the battle to be extremely cautious about, and the HEAT! I just COULDN'T stand the HEAT! The pathway came to an end, but nothing was there! I slowly walked toward the center. Before I could...
BOOM!
*Cough* *Cough* "What just--?!"
I waited for all the dust to calm so I could see just what caused that!
...
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!
WOA! A huge two headed fire-breathing dragon thing! I wasn't sure WHAT it was! Aw, who CARES what it was?! I didn't like it! At least I found out what was making this room so hot....
That thing was HUGE! It was probably BIGGER than the COLOSSEUM! It kept chasing and chasing, and chasing, and chasing me! It just won't stop! This is starting to get really annoying FAST. I started shooting and looking for weak spots on this thing. I REALLY wasn't good with this stuff, nor was I cut out for fighting. I wish RAINBOW DASH was here! The fight went on for only a few minuets. Some scratches and cuts were made, but I finally trained this dragon-dog WHATEVER thing one trick: Play dead!
"YES! VICTORY IS MINE!"
"Nicely done, Twilight!"
The heavenly beam of light came back, I went through it, and we returned to her palace. I felt SO GOOD about myself! I can't get too excited though, this is only the beginning...
