Master of Chaos

NOT TO LONG AGO IN A LAND FAR, FAR AWAY

I laughed at the sight; a puny mortal that would attempt to slay me. All he had was his fists, which were basically usless to use against me; I was a thirty foot demon and he was a six foot mortal. Imagine the advantage I had over him; I was twenty-four feet taller than him, I could breathe fire, I had immense strength, I basically ruled the planet, and I could shapeshift. Yeah, the odds were in my favor.

Anyways, I was sitting in my throne that I had made from pure molten rock, and there was a mortal at the bottom. He was challenging me to a duel without any weapons, so I basically accepted because, again, I had an advantage. But what he told me next surprised me; I had to shrink down to the normal height of him. I accepted, but I was starting to get wary of this challenger. He seemed to be the type that could easily overpower some of my toughest soldiers. Which he did when he made his way up there. So I decided to take the form of a hound and fight in that form.

I got into a pouncing stance and he stood there, not even showing the slightest hint of fear. Now I was really on edge. He was planning something that I didn't know about that could either hurt me or kill me. I saw the look in his eyes, though I could see that he was wary too. But I waited for him to let his guard down so I could pounce.

A few minutes of awkward staring later, I finally lost all patience and pounced, despite the fact that he had a plan. And my theories were proven correct when he raised his left hand and blasted me with a huge rainbow beam. Now I expected a lot of things to happen then, but being blasted with a beam that was made out of rainbows was not one.

Seconds later, I was engulfed in a huge ball of rainbow and the area around me kept getting brighter and brighter. Soon enough, it was blindingly bright. I had to cover my eyes. I'm not going to lie, that beam filled my body with all sorts of pain; pain the eyes, pain in the arms, etc. It was pain I've never experienced before. But that pain soon stopped when I blacked out.

I quickly awoke from my slumber, panting as though I had just been running for hours. I was glad that it was all dream of what had happened days ago, but I still had nightmare's over the excruciating pain I went through. I was napping on a flat land, staring up at the sky with wonder. I had recently come to this land of Equestria by force and now I was working undercover by the order of Nightmare Moon. It's a long story actually, but I'd rather not speak of it at this time.

Anyways, since a demon like me allied himself with the infamous Nightmare Moon, I had been placed on the watch list by the Royal Guard. I was a bigger threat than Nightmare Moon; reeking havoc amongst the forests and cities of the country. Nightmare Moon appreciated my work on destruction, but it soon got 'out of hoof' for her.

When I said 'out of hoof', I meant, 'I didn't stop reeking havoc and bulldozing cities'. I loved creating a bit of chaos every now and then, but Nightmare Moon didn't like that and so she demoted me to spy. I could've easily overpowered her and made myself the main target, but that would've sent Celly on a rampage and she'd probably use everything in her power to kill me. Maybe even bring the Sun down on my head, which would hurt more than you think.

Suddenly I snapped out of my gaze when I heard a faint trumpet horn playing behind me. I quickly rose from where I was sleeping and spun around, only to see none other than Celestia herself. But poor Celly was like the size of my leg, so she had to look up at me.

She didn't look quite happy. Actually, she looked quite depressed, but I didn't care. She had roughly a whole platoon of the Royal Guard with her, which meant that if I was going to attempt to resist surrendering they would be on me in seconds. But if I surrendered, I would be remembered as a coward who wouldn't fight to the end.

"Do you know why I am here, Tyrant?" Celestia asked in a soft, motherly tone. At least she didn't talk like her sister.

"If the reason isn't to see wether or not I surrender, I have no clue." I replied, shrugging and scratching the back of my neck with my claws.

"We have come here to discuss just that. What is your choice, villain?" She asked, only to see me pounce on the platoon.

I slashed and kicked most of the platoon out of the clearing. Then I felt a sharp pain start in the back of my leg. I turned around, only to see that I had been impaled by a spear. Then I laid my eyes on the very pony that did it; a Pegasus that was as black as the night with a sheild for his 'mark'. He was my target, and I would bring upon him the suffering that I had when I first came here. The reason I'm making him my target, mainly because he was smart enough to strike me from behind. Couldn't have that now could we?

I turned away from the rest of the Royal Guard and sprinted towards the Pegasus. He saw me coming and his eyes went wide. He was afraid. Good.

I stuck out my arm and nearly grabbed the Pegasus until I heard one loud word, "ENOUGH!!!"

Then I was surrounded by a golden aura and was forced down to my stomach. I looked up and saw Celly standing over me with six glowing gems. I guess they were the so-called 'Elements of Harmony' I had heard about.

"You have reeked enough havoc to my subjects! You have given me no choice, I am afraid that you must be a victim of the Elements, just like my sister." Celestia stated, glaring at me angrily. Then the Elements started glowing brightly and spun around her like a carrousel. Next, Celestia and the Elements went straight up into the air. Finally, they blasted me with the same rainbow beam that I was already familiar with. But instead of blacking out, I was wide awake.

Only to find myself incased in stone.

I would have screamed, but I was stone. So I screamed internally. I was frustrated that I had to be awake while I was in stone, it was so... boring. There was literally nothing to do; no breathing, no eating, no drinking, no sleeping, and worst of all, no tasting! It was so boring! If I had a choice, I'd take the pain instead of stone.

Celestia sighed and turned to face the Royal Guard, who were now cheering for their princess. She, on the other hand, looked more depressed than ever. I actually started feeling bad about her.

One of the guards came up to her and asked, "My princess, art thou alright?"

Celestia politely nodded and the guard trotted towards the carriage, leaving Celestia behind with my stone form. It was quite uncomfortable being in the stone, with not being able to move and all.

Celestia looked over to me, a sad look on her face. I still had no idea why she was so sad, I wish I knew.

Celestia's horn lit up, and she pointed it my way. I felt a slight tingling sensation all over my body, probably from whatever spell was cast upon me.

I suddenly realized I was being lifted up into the air and being pulled towards the carriage.

As I neared the carriage, I caught a glimpse of the moon. But it wasn't the same moon I used to know; it had a unicorn's head on it, like a giant imprint. That was probably Nightmare Moon's fate, so I guess I was lucky enough to be turned into stone instead of being transported to the fucking moon.

I looked back down at my stone form and back to Celestia, who was now in the carriage sitting right next to me. She was taking me to Canterlot, the new capital city of Equestria. Once I got out of my stone prison, it would be the first to burn. I heard that the people there were all a bunch of snobs who cared only for themselves. Why, out of all places, would she want her new capital to be there? I was not going to enjoy my time in stone prison.

FAST FORWARDING TO CANTERLOT...

What I heard was true; Canterlot was full of snobs. While I was being dragged through the city, they all gave me looks of horror and disgust. One of them even spit at the ground when I came by, so what did I do? (Now, before I tell you what I did, I'd like to tell you that I had learned a spell effects the ponies of my choosing. It seems great at first, but it actually makes you depressed if you have close friends or family members. Nightmare Moon calls it, "The Gift of Immortality.")

Anyways, as that snob spat at the ground near my feet, I stared directly into his eyes and started processing the spell. A few seconds later, the spell was complete. Just in time as I got pulled into the castle. That certain pony was going to die first when I got out.

I was brought out of my planning when I saw the castle's decorations; banners hung along the walls, blocking most of the windows. The floor had a long, red carpet that lead straight to the throne room I was guessing. The windows were barely noticeable, but I caught a glimpse of one and it appeared to be one of those 'Color-Stained' windows. There were also doors along the walls, branching off into longer, deeper hallways.

How did I know? I was dragged into one.

Though this hallway seemed to be going downhill instead of straight. Then I realized where I was going when I saw a sign that read, 'Mountain Dungeon'.

A few minutes later of being levitated, we reached my destination; A large cell with a large door. The cell was giant and the sides were covered with some type of metal. The cell door intrigued me the most; it was large and had a few words written in ancient, ancient Equestrian, so I couldn't weaken and destroy whatever it was. The door was also made out of some type of metal. Celestia definitely overdid it; I was going to be in stone for who knows how long without any special powers except giving immortality to ponies.

I sighed inwardly and saw that I was already placed in the center of the cell and was left alone in the dark. It was silent and... surprisingly serene. I had never expected to be left in such a nice place. If I knew that the prison would be like that, I would have surrendered the first time I was there. It was going to be a long time until I was freed, but I was going to take a long slumber. Longer than any I had taken before.

I sighed with relief inwardly, slowly letting my (stone eyelids?) close. I had finally found peace... and I loved it. But that didn't mean I wouldn't create some chaos when I got out.

As I slowly drifted into unconsciousness, I heard the words, 'one thousand years...'
