black shadows and rainbow clouds
first encounter of the damned
The last thing I felt when I had been blasted to pieces again was hatred, deep burning hatred for that purple unicorn who had somehow made it past all of the traps I had left to waylay whomever went looking for the heart. was it the last thing i was ever going to see? the light seared my flesh and shattered my body, disintegrating everything except my horn. somehow it had survived the purging force of the crystal heart, allowing me to store my soul in it right before i would have been killed.
the few moths after i had been almost killed were long and arduous to cope with, but still gave me time to plan to take the unicorn down. the painstaking amount of focus it took to rebuild my body over the time i had was infuriating, but served to clear my mind. looking back on the incident i could see why i was so easily defeated, my mind was fogged by my hatred for the false princess. the stallion who had been with her had probably been her consort. the dragon hatchling was probably stolen due to the fact that no other dragons were present. the fact that he survived the fall was an attest to his heritage. i believe that he had been hatched by the purple one due to the fact that she had allowed him to take it. dragons by nature are greedy and glutenous by nature, it was a wonder he hadn't even stopped for a lick.
it had been their last hope, his jumping and the consort throwing of the false one. i had a perfectly good opportunity to take them down and i failed to see it due to my pride and hatred. I had failed to deal with them accordingly. since i was focusing on my revenge, I had singled out the pony responsible for my defeat. I needed a solid plan on how best to destroy her life. but I wanted to do so much more to her, so much more. I wanted her potential, her mind, I could use her.
I had constructed a likeness of her when I had first come back, I had intended to use it as target practice since she had been the one to defeat me. I had made it in her exact likness, but lately I had come to rever the statue, it had been my first project since the crystal empire, the only thing linking that incident to her. I had used my magic to craft crystals into her very color, I had no idea as to what her name was, but I would never stop till I had her.
twilight.
We had a nice weather forecast for tonight, the pegasi were being generous for the evening. We were all gathered out for a late night pick nick, the weather had coincided with the meteor shower that was happening so close to the summer sun celebration, a testament to Luna's reform. As the lights danced across the sky, I could feel the power rolling across the skies.
As the event came to an end, we said our goodbys, telling each other that we would see each other soon. Spike and I headed back to the castle, tired and content. We performed our nightly rituals of getting ready for bed and said our good nights I fell asleep quickly and barely had to try to make myself do so.
The dream was serene and calming, stars shooting and the wind blowing through my mane, making it wave like Celestia's or Luna's would. My wings extended to their fullest and I could feel each and every feather rustle as I stood there at the edge of the mountain. I was looking for something, i just couldn't remember what it had been. around me, I could see shadows flickering, a sure sign that something was coming. I readied myself, charging a spell before it could catch me off guard.
"How could you become so beautiful?"
The voice seemed oddly familiar. I tried to remember who it belonged to.
"How could you forget me? I never forgot you miovett." the shadows coalesced into the shape of a pony, I could barely make out the burning eyes and the sinister smile. His teeth were sharp and the glow of the magic was revolting. The sheer evil rolling off him was enough to sicken me, but I stood there, watching him with abject horror as I realized Sombra stood before me.
"How are you alive?" he trotted up to me, barely standing over me. He sat down and picked up my fore hoof, gently raising it to his lips. The feeling of his kiss made my skin crawl, I visibly shook with disgust. I ripped my hoof out of his grasp. "What do you want Sombra?"
"You."
I backed up and flared my wings out, surprise flashing across his face. "What could somepony like you, want with me?"
His smile widened."'Every thing, You are the only thing that i want, your power, your potential, your mind, you. Every thing about you makes me want more of you. You've even exceeded my expectations already, I want to know your name, seeing as you already know mine, miovett"
That last word sounded like an endearment, something I knew to be a falsehood. I shook my head to clear my thoughts, and steady my nerves. "My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle. What are you planing?"
He shuffled forward again, this time pushing his barrel chest into mine. "I want you. I plan to either win or take you. Either will suit me just fine. Twilight." He pressed his mouth onto mine, while wrapping a hoof around me to keep me against him.
I struggled out of his grasp and shoved him away, flustered by his show of affection. I spat and wiped my mouth to get the taste of him out of my mouth. "What would make me ever want you?! Your just another villan who wanted to take over and enslave us all."
He chuckled and shook his head. "My power. You want to know how to control dark magic and successfully use it. Knowledge of old and powerful spell that have been purged from the libraries due to their killing ability. You crave knowledge, and knowledge is power. I hope I don't have to look for long, I will find you, Twilight, and I will take you for my own."

something is wrong with fluttershy
The last thing I remember before waking up was the feeling of dread that had been a predominant feature of my nightmare. I couldn't remember why I was so afraid though, the memory faded before I could get a firm grasp of it. All I could remember was a kiss and the stars above, the meteor shower had made an appearance in it as well. the rest of the details were blurry and incoherent at best.
I was drenched in sweat and still a little tired, my sheets were strewn about like I had struggled in my sleep. I tasted somepony on my lips, like i had actually been kissed instead of it being a dream. It was a mix of book musk and wine that lingered on my lips, making me shudder at the thought of it. for some reason, I couldn't place the smell coming from around my room, a deep musky stallion like smell that made me flush with embarrassment. I quickly opened the shutters and banged open the windows, summoning a breeze to take care of it before Spike came in and jumped to a conclusion. I remade my bed and zapped away the remaining odor to make sure any of it wouldn't be identified.
With a satisfied nod, I rushed off to the bathroom to clean myself of the nightmare. thankfully Spike was probably in the kitchen, making breakfast as usual, as I briskly cleansed myself. as I stepped out into the hall, I could smell waffles and pancakes comming from the throne room, apparently we had guests over. I trotted into the throne room to see that discord and fluttershy were half way into a whip cream canister and Discord was slathering on the chocolate like he had all the other times before. the table was a mess due to Discords 'artistic' quality.
He looked up from his plate long enough to spot me and waved. "Oh, hiiii! how are you today? You seemed to be a bit flustered for some reason. pray tell?" that smile pissed me off every time he used it.
I could feel my left eye twitch with frustration. "I can't recall-"
"Then could you just let me do some-"
"Inviting you here, at all." I turned to Fluttershy, trying to catch her attention, receiving only a brick wall of focus. her single mindedness in devowering the breakfast was concerning. "Fluttershy? Fluttershy!"
'Snort' she looked up from her plate, slowly beginning to frown. as the tears began to flow, Discord started panicking. with the fist sob, she threw back her head and wailed. the painful noise made both Discord and I cover our ears. as soon as she stopped wailing, she looked around at us, still crying. "i'm so faaat!" as she looked down and spotted her plate again, she smiled and began to stuff her face again, like nothing ever happened, making those snorts and grunts, like she was tearing into some wild game.
I slowly shifted my gaze to Discord, an angry smile spreading across my face. "Discord, why is Fluttershy acting like this?"
Fear ripped across his face as he tried to raise a claw, as if to state his point, then his eyes flicked back to Fluttershy and he snapped his fingers, making himself, Fluttershy, and the entire spread of food to disappear.
Clock
the dull sound of my hoof hitting my head as I tried to not get mad at Discord resounded around the empty room. I heard Spike whistling as he came out of the kitchen, golden towers of waffles and pancakes piled high on the plates he miraculously held up with his little arms. he stopped and frowned, finding only me in the room, no food whatsoever left from discord and fluttershy.
"Where they go?" he walked over to the table and pushed the platters onto the table with ease.
"I have no idea. one moment Fluttershy was alright, the next she was crying about her figure and Discord zapped them out". I waved a hoof dismissively.
He raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it. "You do know I can tell when something is bothering you, you know? What happened?" He walked over to the table and stacked the pancakes on the empty platter.
I sighed, slowly making my way over to the table. "I think something is up with Discord, he seems like he just can't leave fluttershy alone with any of us for some reason or other! And the way she's been acting lately, you would swear that she was pregnant!"
Slowly, my head began to turn over the possibility of her actually was pregnant. 'Wow, I never thought Discord would do something as stupid as not wear a condom.'
With a bored shrug, I trotted over to the table, too tired to care about it at the moment. I plopped down on the head chair, barely managing to not slip out, as I waited for spike to come back. My left ear gave a light twitch, signaling me to watch out. as the sound drew nearer, it came as a whistling, like Rainbowdash was falling through the air right at me again. With a casual roll of my eyes and a quick barrier spell, accompanied by a throw pillow from the closet, she smashed through my favorite stain-crystal window (for the umpteenth time) slamming into the barrier and dropping like a sack of potatoes onto the pillow.
