How the past changes the Future
Before the Final Act
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSky Shot, a loyal pegasus in the revolutionary army, stood next to Celestia and Luna, both alicorns which was extremely rare, looking out over a beautiful meadow with millions of gorgeous flowers and an enormous lake. All three of them knew that the meadow would soon become littered with the corpses of ponies and demons, stained with pure crimson blood of ponies and the black demonic liquid of the demons. The lake would turn a horrible shade of deep red from the soon to be blood spilled in the upcoming battle between the revolutionary ponies under Celestia and Luna vs the horrifying demons being controlled by Discord.
"I fear that many lives will be lost today. I just pray that in the end all of these deaths will lead to a brighter future for generations to come," said the pristine white alicorn, Celestia. Her sister nodded her head in agreement, too focused on the upcoming battle to over a true response, unlike their most loyal soldier.
"These deaths will not be in vain even if we should lose, which we shall not! We are warring for the prospect of freedom from this tyrant. Should we die, we will die knowing we gave it our all for all of our futures," I spoke as I stood there decked out in my bright gold and deep silver armor by the sisters' side.
"I'm afraid it is time to go, we must prepare the troops for the final battle," Celestia spat out in disdain.
We promptly turned our tails to the meadow, no battlefield, and marched off to the encampment that resided in the nearby woods of the Everfree. The forest was unnaturally dark and foreboding to everypony, which made it the perfect spot to reside in for the upcoming battle.
As we walked back into base we saw hundreds of tents placed around the inside the magical walls of the fort. Some were for groceries, others were for personal care, but most were for weapons and armors. Blacksmiths were everywhere, forging, sharpening, and repairing equipment to the best of their capabilities. One could see the horrid conditions that ponies were kept in with many being so covered in mud and grim that you can't see their coat or even their cutie mark. The ground shared in their sorrow by killing off the grass underneath and creating puddles of mud, water, and even sweat from the ponies.
Soon enough we arrived at the center stage where meeting of importance where held. It was the grandest structure in the encampment consisting of magically reinforced wood held together by the best nails they could find. The sisters ascended the platform in preparation of their speech, while I stood off to the side preparing my speech, as I was the Captain of the revolution.
Luna being more talented with the royal canterlot voice shouted to the heavens, "GATHER AROUND MY LITTLE PONIES, FOR THE TIME HAS COME." Her sister giving her an appreciative nod waited for all the ponies to get dressed in their battle gear and reform in front of the stage.
As the last of the ponies arrived Celestia gave her short speech, "The time has come for us to fight for what is rightfully ours. It is our job to fight today so that all of our children can live in peace for the next thousand years. I love every one of you out here today, and i pray that we may all hold each other in each others hooves once this is finished. Now, your Captain has a few words of his own he would like to share."
I calmly marched up to the top of the platform to give what may very well be my last words with everypony I have ever known or not known. "We have given our all for what we truly believe in. We stand here today behind the two ponies who rallied us together and drove us to fight for freedom. They have lead us fearlessly through every encounter we have suffered together. We are not just random ponies side by side, but one large family. We have given up everything to each other and to our leaders. That is what made us strong, stronger than Discord and his demons. DISCORD IS INCAPABLE OF GIVING AFFECTION TO ANOTHER AND THAT WILL BE HIS DOWNFALL!!!"
The ponies roared, their moral has been raised higher than it has ever been. They stand now at the final leg of their journey. They form up and behind their Captain, behind their fearless leaders Celestia and Luna, we march to that beautiful meadow, and prepare to coat it all in blood.
