Friends to the end

Prologue: part 2

Five years have passed since Celestia has taken in the young colt named Light. She raised him to be a great spell caster, using magic to protect him and those who he wants to protect from any harm that may fall upon them. The young colt grew up into a young stallion. Although his was raised by good morals and wisdom; he seeks something that he wants in the world, power; unmanageable power.  Celestia is unaware of her young students’ lust for power. She thought that she taught him to be aware of the dangers of lust and greed. For they turn the most honorable pony into a monster. But then Light attempted something that will sure upset the princess.

Light was in the Castle’s library researching. Mountains of books and scrolls surrounded the stallion. Celestia sees the pile of books that surrounds her pupil. She walks to him with a smile on her face.

‘’ I see you love studying my student ‘’ Celestia spoke.

Light turned around startled by the princess words. ‘’ Princess ‘’ he said surprised ‘’ what are you doing here ‘’ Light asked closing the book he was reading.

‘’ I came to see you and what you are doing in here ‘’ Celestia said looking at the pile ‘’ and I must say, you must love reading ‘’

‘’ And you know me for how long ‘’ Light commented ‘’ im reading more about spells, something I can use to stop evil in its tracks ‘’

Celestia giggled at what Light said ‘’ oh light, you do not need to know about that just yet ‘’

Light looked at the princess ‘’ well its better safe than sorry right ‘’ he said ‘’ and besides, you can’t learn too much ‘’ then he opened his book and started reading.

Celestia’s smile turned into a frown, she turned around and exits the library ‘’ you can learn too much ‘’ then the door to the library shut closed.

Light looked behind him then turned around and continued reading. He wasn’t really reading books about spells; he was reading about dark mages that sold their souls to a being known as the Shadow of Evil. An evil spirit that offers you relentless magic for your soul; and there was one way for anyone to summon the spirit. A forbidden ritual at the ruins of the old Canterlot Castle. He closed the book the stood up. He closed his eyes and used his magic to lift up every book and returned them to their rightful spots. He left the library and looked for five guards. He soon found a grouped of five guards hanging around.

‘’ Excuse me ‘’ Light said trying to get the attention of the guards.

All five guards looked at Light with no emotion what so ever.

‘’ What is it ‘’one guard asked ‘’ can’t you see that we are busy ‘’

‘’ Yes, talking amongst each other must be exhausting to you’’ Light said ‘’ Princess Celestia has ordered the five of you to escort me to the ruins of the old Canterlot castle, immediately ‘’

‘’ why?’’ another guard asked

Light thought of a response quickly ‘’ are you questioning Princess Celestia’s orders’’ he said with a stern look on his face.

‘’W-what no I wasn’t, I was just-Just what goofing around like a child ‘’ light interrupted the guard giving him a stricter look and getting closer to his face.

The guards were nervous of disobeying Celestia’s orders, without a thought, they rushed to a carriage and set themselves up ‘’ Light we’re ready ‘’ they said

Light got on, and rode to the ruins of the Canterlot Castle.

Celestia saw the carriage took off in a hurry. She wonders what was going on.

‘’ Light what are you up to’’ She said, pondering about what his intentions were. She reentered the library. When she was there, all the books and scrolls were laying on the floor. Now they were all on their Shelves where they belong. Except for one book that was left on the table. She uses her magic to lift the book to see what it was about. It was the book that she wished that, the Shadow of Evil and the lost souls of the Black Mages. The context contained note about forbidden rituals for summoning the Spirit of Darkness to obtain horrendous magic that was not taught to Light. She realized that he was reading every book about the darks arts and was about to tempt to summon the Spirit.

‘’ This can’t happen. Not again ‘’ Celestia said worried. So she gathered every guard she can find to stop Light from doing something that he’ll regret.

At the Ruins, the ancient castle looked to seen better days. Walls of the castle had crumbled over, nature was starting to take back what was hers. The skies turned from sunny into dark and rainy. Light and the five guard made their way to the center of the castle.

‘’ Okay this is it ‘’Light said looking at the guards

‘’ remind us again, what exactly did the Princess said for us to do.’’ One guard said.

Light starred at the guards with no response, and then he grinned an evil smile.  His pupils dilated and turned red.

‘’ I’m afraid that Celestia has nothing to do with what I’m about to do with you ‘’ Light said. Then he used his magic to restrain all five guards. They struggled to break free but it was no use.

‘’ Light what are you doing. ‘’ a Guard said struggling.

‘’ You are sacrifices to a summoning ritual ‘’ Light said positioning each guard to form a star.

‘’ this is a joke right, if it is it’s not funny ‘’ a guard said

‘’ Oh this is no joke ‘’ Light said then he used his magic to place a dagger at each guard.

‘’ What? ‘’ a guard said struggling even more.

‘’ Please let us go ‘’ a guard cried for mercy while struggling to break free.

Then light used his magic to slowly moved to daggers closer to their right eyes

‘’ Cross my heart, stick a dagger ‘’ Light said then he thrust the daggers into the guard’s eye.

‘’ In my eye’’ he finished. All five screamed in blood murder. After a few seconds later. The screams fell silent, they were dead. Then Light took the daggers and started drawing a summoning circle with the dead guard’s blood. When he was finished Celestia had arrived.

‘’ Everyone follow me, and any sign of shadow movement fall back.’’ Celestia order

The guards stood in attention ‘’ YES MA’AM ‘’ they said

‘’ Let’s go ‘’ Celestia said, and then she and the guards rushed into the ruin. A bright light shined from the center of the castle. By the time Celestia had reached Light, it was too late. Light the young colt that she knows was transformed into a shadow being.

‘’ Light. No ‘’ Celestia said about the break into tears

‘’ you are not fit to rule a kingdom; you’re not worthy to be in my presence. ‘’ Light said. ‘’ I thought you were, but now I face the truth. You are nothing more than a liar, an insect of what you used to be. ‘’ He continued ‘’ what are you going to do when you stop, send me to the moon like your sister. It will never solve anything’’

Celestia focused and looked at light with an enraged expression. She focused her magic then flew to the sky and rained a beam of energy at Light sealing the dark power within him.

He awoke surrounded by Canterlot troops. Celestia approached him with a stern look.

Light looked at Celestia and started to laugh maniacally. ‘’ What are going to do, send me to the Moon like your sister. Like I said, it will never solve anything ‘’ he said standing up.

‘’ You’re right ‘’ Celestia said ‘’ it will only bring you enjoyment in your life’’ she said ‘’ no you will never use your magic ever again. You will be banished from Equestria as long as you live ‘’

Light looked at Celestia with utter rage then he smiled an evil smiled at her ‘’ fine ‘’ he said.

Celestia’s eyes glow white as she sealed away Lights magic and breaking his horn. The Guards took him to the borders of Equestria in the Outskirts. The only thing he was a small supplies. Then the guards took off returning to Canterlot.

‘’ Soon I will return Celestia ‘’ Light said as he reach for an apple ‘’ as it was prophesized, I will rule over Equestria as SUPREME OVERLORD ‘’ then he took a bite as he saw the carriage fly off into the distance.

Back in Celestia’s bedroom, he stood in the balcony tears rolling down her face. She used her magic to set the sun down and raised the moon. She looked up at the lunar surface ‘’ One day we will be together again, me fare sister. ‘’ she said as she lowered her head.
