Equestria's Twisting

Luna’s POV

Rainbow flew into Twisted as fast as she could. But now Discord and I were falling. I would have looked down had I not been so afraid. But worse, my magic was cut off and my wings wouldn’t move. But then I then began to feel a magic around me… Twilight!

Discord was being helped by Rarity and we were slowly brought down. I would’ve flown back to Tia had my wings worked but she flew down, Rainbow Dash beside her. “What now!? Twisted’s free now and we barely lived last time!” yelled Discord.

“What ya mean last time?” asked Apple Jack.

“We should tell them,” I said. There wasn’t any point in having them fight possibly to the death if they didn’t know.

“Agreed,” said Tia and Discord together.

“Long ago, shortly after the founding of Equestria, there was an alicorn named Twisted Heart…”

Flashback

“Quite a beautiful night wouldn’t you agree Luna?” asked Twisted.

“Indeed it is.”

Twisted sighed, sad that so many ponies slept during the night.

“If only you weren’t so alone,” said Twisted. He had read prophecies one day and found that a blood eyed pony would one day be banished to the realm of humans and return after death claimed him twenty times for everypony he killed. Twisted was frightened of the description of the pony, for he was the only known pony with a coat blacker then night. Although the reason the pony’s eyes would be red is because they would burn with a fire of pain and hatred. Luna kept trying to reassure him that it hadn’t spoken of him, just another pony, but he was convinced it was him. “Don’t you understand?! I’m the only one who’s ever had a coat this black! Equestria’s been founded and no doubt I’ll soon be angered!” he would often shout. This night though, he only cried.

“If it isn’t me then it’s you. And I promise you I won’t let Tia do this to you.” Twisted looked deeply into her eyes and she saw a small, however faint, red fire of anger burning in his eyes, the same look she saw in Fire Heart’s many years later.

“No, don’t, please!” pleaded Luna.

“I’m sorry, it is the only way,” he said as tears streamed down his eyes.

“No, I’ll not let you do this!” Luna shouted, though it was too late… he lost his mind years ago.

After thousands of ponies died, Luna understood what she must do. She had to help banish him. Soon, after he had killed a total of thirty thousand ponies, Discord, Tia, and Luna finely cornered him, the Elements of Harmony with them. Twisted looked into Luna’s eyes, a red fire in them, but Luna noticed something in his eyes as the Elements banished him.

Apologies for his insanity and loss of control, The Twisted Heart she knew at one time, that promised to save her, the one now known as Fire Heart.

Meanwhile in the mind of Fire/Twisted Heart

Fire Heart’s POV

“Who are you?!” I shouted. I didn’t know what was going on but I felt his anger at the survival of both Luna and Discord. “Why are you doing this?!”

“Have you never known yourself? The reason I do this is because I want revenge! And I am you.”

“Why do you want revenge?! They never did anything to you!”

“Yes they did. Do you not remember your own past?” said the strange voice.

“I do, and you’re not part of it!” I said defiantly.

“Hahaha, I am ALL of it, from your first birth to now.”

“First birth?”

“Of course, I had forgotten the forgetfulness of death. Yes, first birth. Course, you remember yourself as a human. What you are meant to be is a god among gods, the first created Alicorn, and the only difference between us and them is we are reborn no matter what.”

“Then why do you kill?!” I shouted into the darkness, unwilling to be wavered.

“I seek revenge.”

“WHY?!”

“I will tell you. Many lifetimes ago, I read…”

Flashback

As Twisted looked through the library he found one book that had appealed to him, the book of prophecies and pony appearances. As he read he found a chapter up on him in particular. However he also found a terrible fortune that was to soon befall on him.

The pony black,

Shall soon be back,

Af er re    tion,

Through res  ect  n

To s  k revenge,

T r ugh lo e w a ,

And soon avenged.

He wanted further time to study the prophecy and its possible meanings, as well as what weathering had worn off and coming up with other possibilities. Only one question ran through his head, “Is this going to happen to me?”

He then ran into Luna, perhaps his only friend. “Are you okay Heart?” Luna asked.

“Yeah, just a prophecy scared me, nothing much,” said Twisted.

“Oh, well okay. See ya tonight,” she said.

He ran to his room and shut the door. As he lit his candle he looked around and levitated his notebook for prophecies and began to read, keeping an open mind for any alternate possibilities. He knew it was close to beginning, but not when it may end. The only thing he could figure out though, were the words, which could have easily been wrong. What he figured up was

The pony black,

Shall soon be back,

After redemption,

Through resurrection

To seek revenge,

Through love weak,

And soon avenged.

He was horrified that day, which was the end of his sanity and peace. That night, he became evil, and dark. The very embodiment of a heart's nightmare. He was then soon defeated. On his final day, he had asked Luna to forgive him, and what did they do? They surrounded him, trapped him, and cursed him to be kind as a unicorn or evil as a pegasus. But in the middle stage, he would see his other side’s reflection, no longer himself. He was cursed to be pure evil or pure good. But that was not enough. They banished him, to where it was dangerous for life. Where he was banished, he was forced to be kind, even in a world of war, and this world was always warring. He was broken, no longer free. But soon he would be back, and now he was.

“So… do you still think they care? Do you still think they’re understanding or honest? They LIED to us! They HATED us!”

“No, no it can’t be. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!” I yelled. But it was so obvious, I was hated. Worse, if I WAS to regain sanity, no one would care about us. No one would speak to us. We would be hated worse than Luna and Nightmare Moon.

“Tell you what, I’ll let you train your talent, and when they return, YOU can destroy them,” said Twisted Heart.

“Yes, I will,” I didn’t notice but a fire sparked in my heart…

And I liked it.

I hope you enjoyed the flashbacks. Now you know both sides of the story. And do not fear, I’ll have many surprises along the way. Suprises that are like plans within plans, like planception, LOL.
