Luna's Creation

Twilight's eyes began to throb with pain. All of her magic was drained out, leaving her body weak. She started to cry subtly in the grass, where she lied, motionless, against the raging wind. Luna, out of all of the ponies that could have taken over, Luna. She was so sweet, kind and loving when she came back from the moon. She just, snapped. Twilight couldn't care less about her. Princess Celestia has grown too weak for her to do anything, and is now protected by her army in the castle, leaving everypony else to die. Selfish. It had been 2 years now since Luna has began to take over the once beautiful world. Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, they have gone missing since. The thought of the loving warmth of her friends was gone. Missing. Rainbow Dash found Twilight and they have been hiding in the Everfree Forest ever since. Rainbow sat motionless against a tree. She had some minor brain damage from a large creature that attacked not more than 4 months ago. Even Twilight was barely able to fight it off. It was dark, so Twilight couldn't really distinguish what it was. It might have been a bear, but she couldn't classify that to be true. Rainbow can only speak once in a while, eat, barely stand up and somewhat understand what you say. Her wings were paralyzed, or so it seems, and she had an eye infection so Rainbow can't see very well either. All medicine from Ponyville was stolen or expired, so no luck there. All that Twilight can really do is hope. Hope.

*crack* The sound of a whip broke the silence. The smell of smoke and sweat filled the air. The subtle grunts and moans of hard working ponies was the literal sound of hatred. "Don't you want to help me?" Luna said with a smirk on her face. She gently laid her hands on the soft face of what it seemed to be an outsider from another town. "Please, don't hurt me! I...I'll do whatever you want! Just please leave me be!" The poor pony had a waterfall of tears going down his face. The very thought of not seeing his family ever again, just dying here. Not living his life, doing what he loved the most, broke his heart. Depression started to weigh over his shoulders.

`"Don't be silly, child. Only a mere barbarian would do such things as torture." The helpless pony looked at the pile of motionless dead bodies in the corner. His mind couldn't comprehend what pain they must have been through. "I give you wealth, power, food, anything you could want." Luna started to shield a magic aurora around his body.

"Uh, I...oh my Celestia...." He had never felt anything quite like it before. His body suddenly felt cured, all of his sadness, pain and suffering when away in an instant. His muscles started to relax with no command.

"I give you anything you want..." Luna gently brought him closer and her soothing voice went straight to his mind.

"I...." Not a single peep would come out of him again.

Luna happily gazed over her fast growing kingdom. Her creation.

Twilight began to slowly stand up. Her legs and hooves were aching. She needed to find food and water and hopefully get to an abandoned building and hide there. Twilight knew more than 1 pony would be smart and tough enough to hide in the Everfree. Twilight needed more rest so her magic wouldn't be so useless. She was really weak, and knew she probably couldn't survive here any longer. She went to Rainbow Dash, blindly realizing how she was going to get her to move. "Rainbow?" She lightly nudged her body. Rainbow moaned a bit. "Rainbow, can you understand me?" Rainbow coughed and slowly nodded. "We need to get out of here and find a building to hide in. I realize that this must wear you out too, and we need to get moving. I know how heartbreaking this is to you, and its been a couple rough years without seeing your family, and it breaks my heart too. It makes me feel even worse when my best friend is in pain. I'm going to help you Rainbow, but I need you to try and at least walk. Can you do that for me?" Rainbow stood up. She instantly felt a sharp pain in her leg and had a massive headache.

"Ahhh!" She fell down flat on her back. Twilight helped her up on her legs and helped her stretch out a bit to help stop the pain. Twilight knew some dark magic spells to heal but that was forbidden, but she supposed it wouldn't matter now. Her magic was way too drained to perform it, and it would take massive concentration, something she doesn't have now.

"Fuck..." Rainbow said silently under her breath. "Twi- *cough*, can you help me out a bit?" Rainbow could walk at a good pace but needed assistance to do so. Rainbow started to cough up blood. "Fuck you Celestia, I hope you rot." Rainbow had her anger boiling up a bit.

"Do you hurt when you walk?" Twilight had a concerned look on her face.

"No, not all that much. I have a hard time speaking and remembering stuff.

"I guess the frontal lobe of your brain is damaged...:"

"You're such an egghead..." Rainbow chuckled. Twilight smiled back. This might have been the first time she smiled in a long time.

Celestia had been awake for more than 5 days now. Staring at the crumbling state of Equestria. She knew what other ponies thought of her. Selfish, a waste of space, any insults you could think of. She knew that Twilight hated her. She knew everyone did. She felt guilty for every single tear was shed. She couldn't do anything, and for that, hated herself even more. Staring blankly, Celestia trotted over to one of the royal guards protecting the castle. "Let me out. Now." She had to do something. She had to try.
