My Little Pony Darksun Adventures

Chapter/Episode 1: I am Darksun Hear me Roar! Part 1

“Changelings, a race of magical creatures that can blend into different societies with ease, they are also known for their appetite for emotions, but no emotion is as great for a changeling than love. They change forms to whatever their prey considers the most pleasing and before they know it they are left drained and weakened, while some are even considered dead. I am one of these creatures and each day I work on my magical studies in order to help improve our kingdom.” The voice came from a strange looking pony that was talking to his own self while reading a book. He was about five feet tall with a black coat, his eyes were a light blue with with green pupils, he had some holes where his hooves and tail were like most of his race, his mane resembles fire and is a nice teal that goes down to his neck with a sharp furry tail that matches the color of his mane. His room was rather large and filled with different books. The only light that helped the changeling read came from the ceiling and had a nice gothic theme going for it, but his reading was interrupted by a knock on his wooden door and a gruff voice spoke from behind it.

“Darksun, get out of your room I need to speak to you!”

“I’m in the middle of reading of an important chapter on how to manipulate elemental energies.”

“Now please it’s important!”

“Fine, I will be out there.” The changeling known as Darksun got up as his teal tattered insectoid wings stretched out. He walked over to his door the sound of hooves clopping on wood echoed throughout his room. His gnarled twisted unicorn horn was glowing with a green hue and soon the door itself did and then he opened it revealing three changeling soldiers standing there, they were slightly shorter than him, and didn’t have the same mane and tail as him as theirs were much shorter and shared the same gray coloration as them.

“Darksun you have been cooped up in your room for the past three days just reading your books. You need some sort of food, so the others and I were thinking of going on a little all-nighter in Manehatten. Do you want to join in?” He questioned the crossed changeling.

“Gee guys as much as that sounds fun I-I.” He paused for a moment looking around his room and out of his window in the ceiling. “I think that a rather special comet might be passing by tonight and I need to study it. You wouldn’t want the enemies knowing of this possible find would you?” Dark chuckled nervously before closing the door on the three. He then heard the same voice from behind the door.

“Fine then, be that way. You seem to care more about your dang studies than food and your health!” He shouted before leaving him. Darksun let out a sigh of relief before looking up at the night sky through his window.

‘Sorry Butch, but I just can’t do that, not anymore at least.’ He continued to stare at the sky looking right at the moon. “The night sky, it is truly a beautiful thing.” Another knock was heard at the door.

“Who is it?”

“I have a message for you from the queen herself.”

“Queen Chrysalis?”

“No Celestia. Of course it’s from Chrysalis and do be so kind as to not refer to her by her name!”

Darksun opened the door and took the message. “Yea I know sorry thanks for the delivery.” He said while slamming the door in the messengers face while reading the letter.

Dearest Darksun I send this letter to alert you to meet me in the throne room as soon as possible. I need to speak to you about an important mission.

Signed Queen Chrysalis

Ps: You missed your last feeding so please do let me feed you at least. I cannot have my subjects go hungry especially not you.

“My queen.” Dark smiled and put a grey book in a saddlebag and took it with him to the throne room. He looked around the castle still rather impressed with how the place looks. The scenery was pretty grand despite the slightly destroyed shape of the castle the place was also quite old with some stones knocked over and some bridges were outright wrecked. Eventually he arrived at the main throne room. Two large doors were between him and his queen. He took in a deep breath and opened them to see the queen lying down on her extravagant couch. She too had a teal colored mane, but hers was much longer than his with her tail matching her mane in color as well, once she stood up off her couch anyone could see that she was much taller than Darksun, she also was the only one out their race besides Darksun to have pupils, she even has similar colored eyes to his, and their shared the same horn type, lastly she had holes as well in her legs mane and tail. A smile spread across her snout with sharp fangs being shown and when she spoke she had a rather interesting voice that sounded like a distorted echo.

“Well Darksun my pupil I see you as quick as ever when it comes to following my orders.”

“Of course my queen, you are both my leader and my teacher I could never imagine disobeying you.” Darksun said bowing to her. She ran a hoof across his face looking at him in his eyes.

“I heard you skipped out on another feeding session with the other changelings.”

“Yes my queen, I just cannot go with them.”

“You have not been the same ever since that day, but to keep you full and living my pupil these special feedings are worth it. You really have come a long way Darksun.” Chrysalis said as she opened her mouth her sharp fangs in front of his face while a hissing sound rang throughout the room. Darksun followed suit opening his mouth as well. Smaller sharp fangs were also seen within his maw as a green mist started to flow from Chrysalis’ mouth to his own. His eyes widened as the energy flowed within him. He moved closer to her closing his eyes while his tattered wings fluttered, his horn was glowing the same green color from before and shortly after she closed her mouth and then he did as well.

“Thank you my queen.”

“It is my pleasure to help you out, but when it is just us together please refer to me as your teacher.”

“Y-Yes my teacher, so what did you want to tell me?”

“As you read I have an important mission that needs to be taken care of, and I can think of no other changeling good enough to deal with this than you.” Darksun only smiled waiting for Chrysalis’ response.“Now in the past we have had issues with a certain group of six ponies who have gotten in my way of domination twice now, and to make matters worse I heard their leader has her own castle. I want you to sneak around in their town and take care of them once and for all.” As she finished the twin doors were pushed aside and running in was Butch from before.

“My queen don’t let this bookworm go on a delicate mission like this I beg you! He will just screw it up due to having no experience in espionage. I mean he never even comes with us on raids or nights out anymore.”

Darksun glared at him and moved closer. “Listen here, I have been doing espionage missions for a while now, and because of them I have gotten a lot of information on different kingdoms. Just because you don’t see me on them, doesn’t mean I am terrible at them. Or do you want to see what this bookworm can do?” He questioned getting into Butch’s face.

“Oh look who has a backbone what can you do to me tough guy?”

Darksun’s horn began to glow brighter and brighter before letting loose a large energy blast at Butch knocking him right through a wall. He got up and leapt at Darksun only to be held in place by him. “Oh I am sorry what was that? Pretty sure this bookworm is about to give you a one way ticket out of here!” He shouted and threw the attacker out of the castle through a glass window with great force. Chrysalis was laughing at this scene.

“Good work my dear pupil. I really think you are ready.” She then materialized a small floating green orb out of thin air. “This orb is a map of the forest area around the castle. Use this to find your way to Ponyville and once you get a place a stay there message me on the orb, and I will debrief you on the next part of the mission.”

“Yes my queen at your command.” Darksun turned back to Chrysalis before bowing. After he stood up on his four legs and walked out of the throne room leaving the changeling queen alone.

“Soon Twilight, soon I will show both you and Celestia the power of my prized student.” She began to laugh maniacally as multiple changelings just turned around.

“The queen must be in a really good mood today.” One of them said, the one walking next to him chuckled. “Maybe she finally opened that package that I sent her and finally started to enjoy some release?”

“Yea you know like the last unit did, before he got squashed.” The two then just gluped and walked away slowly.

***

Darksun was rummaging throughout his room as books were scattered all over the place. He pulled out a blue book and leapt down to grab the book he was reading before.“The areas outside of the castle are dangerous. So these books will prove quite useful, and I also get to continue reading and figuring out how to cannel destructive magic easier.” He put the two books into his saddlebag and walked out of his room. He turned around to get one last good look at his room. “This is the start of a brand new adventure!” He shouted with enthusiasm.

“Shut up, others are trying to sleep!”

Darksun blushed in embarrassment. “Sorry.” He galloped outside of the castle and went straight for the forest with determination in his eyes. He knew the road there would be dangerous, but that made it all the more fun. ‘Don’t worry my teacher, I will return with results. You have taught me what I need to know and now I get to put that to the test.” He then ran head first into the forest.

Chrysalis was in the throne room lying down on her couch in front of a few of her changelings. “My queen, why would you send Darksun alone to the town where are enemies reside?”

“I know it sounds like this mission is doomed to failure, but don’t worry I believe in Darksun, and one changeling attracts less attention that multiple, despite the fact that we can blend in, and I don't want another incident like the one before in Ponyville, last I remember they were ponies not zombies!" She said shooing away the changelings in the room. After they left she laid down on her back looking at the ceiling. “Twilight you will pay for what you did to me!"

Darksun was currently traveling through the forest surrounding the kingdom with the orb floating in front of his face. He looked up and observed the many trees surrounding him and then looked back down to the map. ‘I really hope this thing is pointing me in the right direction.’ He thought to himself before hearing the sound of a branch snapping from behind him. Darksun turned around slowly his ears twitched. He scanned the area while walking backwards towards the sound. The sound of snorting assaulted his ears as he turned around again only to see a rather large boar that towered front of him.

“Oh hello there what’s a boar doing in a forest like this?” He asked the creature as it was preparing to charge at him. “Oh crud.” Was all he could say before the monstrous boar charged at him and launched him up in the air before the changeling fell to the ground with a loud thud. “If it’s a fight you want it’s a fight you will get.” He said getting up while his legs shook as trying to keep himself upright. The boar though began to charge at Darksun again, but this time a green aura surrounded him and then he vanished in a burst of green light before the creatures eyes. The boar stopped dead in its tracks looking to its left and right in confusion. Soon after he appeared right behind the boar and shot out a green energy beam at the creature making the boar squeal in pain and slump onto the ground. “A basic daze spell should be enough to keep you off of my trail, but to be safe.” His gnarled horn began to glow again as tree vines wrapped around the beast tying it up. The boar struggled and its squeals became louder and louder. “Don’t worry, once I leave the spell will end. I must say you have some tenacity to continue fighting though.” He tried his best comfort the boar before leaving.

***

Darksun continued walking for a few hours as he started to get rather tired. ‘Looks like I will have to set up camp for here tonight and continue my travels in the afternoon.’ He picked up a few loose branches and some stones getting them ready to start a fire, and within a few mintues he had a nice fire to sit by. ‘I have seen some boars before, but never in the forest and not even as large as that one was. I mean that thing was about ten feet tall. I remember that we have lost troops in this area before, and now I know why. A creature like that isn’t bad for me or any pony with fighting experience, but basic drones like them are toast. I wonder what made an innocent creature like that into that. For now I should get some sleep. I got a big day tomorrow.’

Darksun finished his though as his eyes were slowly closing shut while he laid back onto the dirt while the words "A big day indeed.” Escaped from his lips in a hushed tone.
