Soften The Blow
Orders
Previous ChapterCanterlot. A magnificent city, home to the two sisters Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.
In a large hall a group of ponies gathered. Both Celestia and Luna's royal Guards, and common town ponies. And the front of the room sat Celestia, towering above everypony else a microphone in front of her. The room fell silent as she began to speak.
"Welcome Everypony, and thank you for attending the urgent meeting on, such short notice."
Some comments were made but it soon went silent again.
"You would all be glad to know that I have finally made contact with our newest Princess in ponyville after the recent attack on the small village. She and a few others are not hurt but the majority are no longer with us." She paused and lowered her head for a few seconds then lifted it.
" The cause of this disaster? A dragon" Gasps filled the room as ponies started talking.
"Silence!" Celestia called out and instantly the attention was back on her.
"In order to prevent this from happening again I need a few ideas to stop any future attacks. What do you propose?" She opened the question to the public as another pony galloped around the room with a microphone to ponies who raised their hoof.
The first pony was a mare. A white unicorn with a long pink mane. She spoke with a soft voice.
"We could capture the dragons and put them for view for other ponies"
Celestia nodded.
"A possibility but then there's the risk of some escaping."
A stallion next to the mare spoke next.
"How about smashing all of the eggs now and in the future, wiping the vermin off the face of Equestria."
She spoke again.
"Yes but how will we assure that all the eggs have been discarded and taken care of? Anymore suggestions?"
Celestias nephew spoke next, Prince BlueBlood
"How about killing them?"
The Princess looked and her relative and nodded.
"Kill the dragons on sight. I call this meeting to an end thank you all for coming!"
The microphone cut out as she approached the guards.
"I want all of you to go to separate towns and villages and if you see any dragons kill on sight. Got it?"
They all nodded and she turned to Shinning Armour.
"I want you and two others to go to ponyville. Go get yourselves ready, you leave tomorrow morning." Then she left.
Entering her chambers, Celestia stepped onto her balcony after locking her door and sighed, looking out onto the city of Canterlot illuminated by the sunset that was currently taking place. As Celestias magic wrapped around the great ball of gas in the sky she gently lowered it with practiced ease, feeling the warmth of the sun run through her body.
It was a sensation that even after one thousand plus years of completing the same duties twice a day she had never gotten used to. She loved it, it was just like a summers day. It was a feeling she had come to love.
She returned to the indoors allowing her beloved sister to raise the moon and make way for the night.
Getting ready to sleep she walked past a mirror and stopped admiring her own beauty.
The reflection staring back at her?
Queen Chrysalis.
Giggling, she grinned.
"Oh your brilliant Chrysalis. Causing that dragon to rampage ponyville, and although it didn't kill that little fluff ball Twilight you thought of the idea to turn ponies into cannibals!" She clapped her two front hooves together and giggled once again.
"But now that didn't work.. so you had to think of something different. Something not so obvious that you revealed yourself. KILL ALL DRAGONS!" She shouted, almost instantly covering her mouth in a hope not to raise suspicion.
"They'll go after Spike, seeing that he'll be a feature threat. Twilight, obviously will try and protect him and wham! I would have had my revenge" She smiled and looked back at the mirror.
Twilight Sparkle will soon be dead.
