Daughter of Sol

The air was warm, although it paled in comparison to the warmth of being near her Father.  As she descended upon the empty field of grass, Celestia felt a terror take hold of her. She could not explain the feeling that she was overcome with, but it was like she had lost a part of what she was. She was feeling the power of gravity for the first time, and was unable to freely move in all directions as she had been before.

"What evil have you cursed me with, you flat beast?" Celestia angrily asked the ground, for this was the first solid object she had ever felt, and it was horrifying.

She was met with complete silence.

"Answer me, or feel the power of Sol himself overcome you!"

Celestia attempted to scorch the ground with mighty solar power, but found herself unable to harness it.

"What dark power do you hold over me? I shall escape your evil!" Celestia spread her wings, and gave them a mighty push, but she was only propelled a few feet.

"What has happened to me? Why are you doing this?" Celestia had used her wings to bring her to this planet, but it took only a single flap to send her flying across space like a rocket.

Celestia decided that the best course of action was to run from the ground, but she also found this to be difficult.

"I'll use these protrusions to get away, and I'll find a way to SMITE thee!" She said as she attempted to run, but was immediately tripped by her own legs.

Celestia, Daughter of Sol, the first Alicorn, savior of the Ponies, had just face planted on the cold hard ground, her legs a tangled mess.

"Father, why did you send me to such a place? I am powerless here!"

Again, she was met with silence.

Celestia stayed on the ground for a long while, contemplating her predicament.

"Look, I know we got off to a bad start here, but I have come to this rock to SAVE you, why are you so determined to hinder me?"

The ground continued to ignore her.

Celestia felt her anger building, and she decided to attack in the only way she could.

Celestia took a bite out of the ground.

"Take THAT you.........." She froze.

"What charm have you cast upon me?" Asked Celestia with a mouth full of grass.

Celestia took another bite, and another, finding herself enjoying the taste of her mortal enemy!

She continued eating, and for the first time, she fell asleep.

Celestia stood on a seemingly endless black surface, yet was somehow looking down at the Earth from space at the same time. Above her was Sol. She wanted nothing more than to return to him, but she was unable to fly. She attempted to call out to him, but her voice would not leave her throat.

"You shall witness the end"

Celestia looked for the source of the deep booming voice, but found nothing.

"You have taken all from him. I thank you, for my task is nearly complete"

The voice grew closer.

Without warning, the Moon appeared between herself and Sol, and it was cracked into two pieces. Stars began to rush from the broken halves, and the once empty void was filled with billions of lights.

Celestia could do nothing be watch the brilliant display, her eyes beginning to water from the sheer beauty.

The pieces of the moon came back together, but they took on a new shape.

Now an enormous Dragon flew before her.

"Watch, and be set free, for Sol is no more"

The Dragon split into countless copies of itself, and flew toward Sol. One by one they began to melt, leaving thousands of skeletons behind.

The Dragon bones began to spiral, and they formed a new Dragon, much larger than any that came before.

Celestia fell to the ground as she witnessed the Dragon wrap its wings around Sol.

"NO, LEAVE HIM ALONE!" She was finally able to say. She launched herself from her platform, and released a beam of powerful solar energy at the Dragon.

The Dragon was incinerated, but Sol was also gone.

"Such is the fate of the Princess" Said the voice.

With a terrified scream, Celestia awoke from her first dream.

Celestia was in a state of shock at what she had witnessed. She immediately shot her eyes to the sky, and was relieved to see Sol still shining upon her.

"T'was this cursed Earth that I have eaten! I shall never again ingest your vile magic that bestowed upon me those dark visions!"

Celestia slowly stood, still uneasy on her hooves. She began to take short steps, each one more steady than the last.

"You flat fiend! I have conquered you!" She said in triumph as she gleefully trotted along the grass.

Celestia was so caught up in her victory over the evil field, that she nearly forgot her entire reason for coming to this planet.

"Dear Sol, I have won my first battle on this evil rock that you so love! The scaled beasts shall be of no consequence to my power!" She declared triumphantly to the sky.

Celestia was more focused than ever before. She set her sights on the mountain range before her, and she happily, but carefully, began to sprint toward them.

Celestia had ran, and then walked, and then crawled, toward the mountains for longer then she cared to notice.

"They look so large, yet are never any nearer! And this body! Why must it slow when I wish to keep moving? Is this another curse? Have I yet been defeated by this lowly walking surface?" Celestia continued to complain, not noticing the set of eyes that now watched her.

"And why do I have this bone sticking out of my head? What sort of creature would require such a thing? Who decided that-" She was suddenly cut off by the feeling of claws jabbing into her wings.

A large scaled claw had swooped in from the sky above, and plucked her from the ground.

"Unhand me! I am Celes-" Again she was cut off as the Dragon let loose a deafening roar.

The Dragon flew as high as he could, clearly attempting to frighten Celestia. Celestia had no fear of the sky, but felt her heart drop as she looked down at the ground, her old nemesis, as it grew ever farther from her reach.

"Scaled beast! I have come here to put a halt to your evil transgressions! Return me to the surface, and I shall show you the true power of Sol!"

The Dragon was taken completely off guard, and began to laugh at the words of Celestia.

"My dear Pony, have you never met a Dragon before? You are but a piece of dirt to us"

"Do not underestimate the dirt! It has been a worthy adversary thus far!"

The Dragon again began to laugh.

"For such a large Pony, you sure have a small brain!"

"I don't know what a 'brain' is, but that sounded quite insulting!"

The Dragon was nearly in tears at this point.

"Oh that settles it! I'm taking you to the King, he'll get a real kick out of you!"

Celestia perked up at these words.

"Yes! A royal audience! Just what I was hoping for! We may get our problems straightened out without bloodshed yet!

The Dragon was out of breath, and was unable to even laugh at her words.
