Sapphire Glow: A New Day?
Chapter 1: The Council
Load Full StoryNext ChapterAround six hundred years before the banishment of Nightmare Moon. Celestia and Luna were still getting used to their new roles as princesses. So they placed, Equestria under six different lords and mares. They are: Keeper of the forest to the north, “Silent Flock.” Guardian of the Desert, “Rough Ground.” Pegasus Champion and protector of the air, “Brave Buster.” Keeper of almighty secrets, “Star Swirl the Bearded.” The mayor of the Ponies, “Sapphire Glow.” While the other areas of the kingdom, the Princesses took direct command of, these were: The Ever-free forest, and plains around it. Most ponies thought highly of these Lords, but not of Sapphire glow, due to her young age because of this she had to impose her position of power, and she became more than just a little corrupt.
It was an early morning in the city of Canterhoof, (Later changed to Canterlot), and Sapphire was getting ready to head to the office. When she heard shouting outside her “Small” Manor. “Come out you fiend,” “Give us our rights back you witch,” the shouting was loudly announcing. Shocked at why her people would say these things about her, she took her time to get ready.
Then, proceeded to the entrance, after opening the door she noticed that every pony from the city has gathered here. She collected herself and shouted in a loud but, elegant manor, “ALL PONIES WHO DISAGREE WITH THE LAW WILL BE PUNISHED, I WILL ONLY accept complaints while in my office so, BE GONE YOU PEONS!”
The other lords have taken notice to the issue in her town, but they cannot do anything on what she is doing. Since the others live, and control other areas of Equestria. The only way is to get the princesses involved, but how would they do that when they're too busy dealing with the “Chaos void” that is coming close to Equestria. But most of them agree that she needs to be put in her place, yet the Idea of doing that would be evil, and could damage the infrastructure of Equestria, if she was eliminated from power. Knowing they had no other choice they made an emergency meeting of the lords, to deal with the Chaos threat. The lord thought if they could remove Sapphire Glow from power, by sending her at the chaos.
“Miss Sapphire,” A young attendant of hers said quickly. “An emergency meeting has been called to deal with the chaos threat, which you are required to attend.”
Now this is something that Sapphire Glow was interested in since she had to vote since the princesses aren't present. Which likely means they will vote against her, due to her supposed corruption. Sapphire with her classic voice simply said, “Take me there.” The attendant, quickly nodded and at a quickened rate they reached, Sapphire's conference hall.
“They are waiting,” the attendant had stated as she left. Sapphire willing to get this over with, went inside, and sat in a circle are the five other lords.
“Be seated,” said Brave Buster, the Pegasus commander, and obviously not saying please due to this being a formal event. “We are here to discuss and vote on the ongoing threat of the chaos vortex, which has been on Equestria's borders for months now. We are required to take a defensive stance, or does one of us go to it and find what the issue is.” Said the one who always appears to be in charge since of his mastery of magic, Star Swirl the Bearded. After hours of debate of what they should do and who to send, they came on a majority.
Star Swirl gave the Verdict, “Sapphire Glow, as one of the most powerful of us, you have been chosen to, go to the chaos vortex and figure out what is, going on. Dismissed.”
Having a small fit along her way she made it to the western edge of Equestria. Where she could see the chaos vortex. It looked like a storm with random faces and eyes popping out. With her most powerful attack she tried to hit the storm.
But it simply laughed, Sapphire in rage yelled, “What are you, anyway!” The cloud answered with precision, “I'm Discord, embodiment of all chaos in the world, come for you're precious Equestria.” But before Sapphire could say anything, she vanished.
