Chronicles of the Celestial Pheonix - Dark Waters

A dark chilling night contrasted with the glowing atmosphere of a village in Ponyville. Animals and beings of all kind gathered from all over celebrated the news of a new born pony that the prophesy predicted would become the Celestial Phoenix.

"Minuette! Indigo! Hayner! Welcome to the PARTY!!" A golden brown earth pony with a dark brown mane, tied to about 7 balloons, floated over to the two ponies and the griffon.

"Hey cheese! This party looks amazing!" Indigo agreed with Minuette,

"Yea, I can't wait 'till tonight" Indigo said excitedly.

"Yes! The shooting stars should be EPIC!! Almost as epic as this party!" Cheese smiled as he popped all of the balloons holding him up.

"So have you seen her?" Hayner interrupted.

"No Hayner, I'm afraid not, she's been moved to the dragon temple in Canterlot, she is just a little filly after all, shes to young to take on an EPIC party like this for too long!!" Cheese replied gleefully.

"Don't worry Hayner in a few months she should be 'up and running'. Celestial Phoenixes are supposed to age to adulthood quite quickly, and then they just stop ageing, its pretty freaky if you ask me." Indigo said frowning as she trotted to the food table.

Cheese grinned "Come on, enough talk on the filly, LETS PARTY!!! Oh and here's my ride" A giant disk of cheese rolled past and the golden brown pony jumped onto it, rolling away with a huge smile.

On the outskirts of the celebration

Two unwelcome figures loomed over the glowing village, listening to the chitter chatter of the overly excited creatures. The smaller, more agile looking figure turned to the larger.

“If the Phoenix has been born we must waste no time!” The smaller whispered in desperation to the larger figure known as Starlight.

In a smooth, hushed voice the Starlight replied “Yes, but we will not attack before the dark master is ready, those fools celebrating also feel as if they have a right to our Phoenix. If we attack too soon or too late, things will get more complicated than they need to be. First we must report to Sombra, he will know when to attack.”

The two figures nodded at each other, turned towards the Everfree forest and ran.
