Chapter I: So it Begins

[South of Everfree, 28 February 5 AD; 12:47 AM]

I was having an interesting dream, I was at Anime-con, I bought a cane, I was having a nice chat with a decent person, and suddenly I was falling before I hit the ground incredibly hard. This dream repeated over and over again, I was trapped in this infinite cycle. I tried to move, but couldn’t. It was like I was seeing through my eyes, but couldn’t control my body, yet at the same time I was in control. As contradictory as it sounds, it’s how I felt. Anyway, my dream, to my gratitude, came to an end as I heard the sound of foot steps. Listening to the footsteps I determined there was two people approaching me.

“What is this creature before us,” said a female voice. So there are two people, I thought when I heard the word us. “We have never before placed our sight upon a creature like thyself, what art thou?”

The footsteps were getting closer, each hitting the grass with a small pounding sound. I took this moment to slowly push my self of the ground, and boy did my chest hurt. I raised my head up high and found I was staring at trees and foliage. I scratched my head in thought, “Could’ve sworn the sound was coming from in front of me.”

“Thou is in the wrong about such an inquiry, creature. Who art thou and where art thou from?” the female voice said behind me.

“Using the word creature is quite rude, you know?” I said with some sass as I kept my back turned, picking up my staff and placing my fallen hat on my head. Insufferable whelp, to call me such a thing… what? I was lost in thought at that. I wasn’t that rude, but maybe being undermined and insulted set something off in me. “And I also believe asking for one’s name is rude without giving there’s first.” Yea, I was ticked off. For example, I didn’t say that to uh… Merchant? Because he didn’t insult me.

“Thou demand our name after thou trespasses upon our lands?! Dost thou not knowest where thou is?! Dost thou play us for a fool?! If thou wishest to know our name then so it shall be, our name is Princess Celestia; co-ruler of Equestria and the one who lowers and raises the sun, creature!” After all that yelling I heard a very loud stomp followed by a rush of warm wind.

“Wow. I think I’ve gone partially deaf,” I said as I picked my ear with no effect of soothing my pain. “You know, you could’ve just said your name, and is your first name ‘Princess,’ an interesting name indeed,” turning I found myself face to face with an alabaster horned pegasus.

… Winged unicorn?

… Whatever.

Not whatever! I’m talking to a horse… Why am I not shocked by this! Why am i freaking out about why I’m not shocked… I’ve. Gone. Fucking. Nuts. Haven’t I? Focusing my brain power onto the apparent Princess, Wow, is she tall. And that horn just adds so much more height to her.

When the idea of height came up I realized something. I looked to my left where my hand grasped the stick of the staff. It wasn’t this tall before, either I’ve gotten shorter or my cane turned staff got taller. Lifting it up off the ground for a moment I realized that the weight did not change and one thought came to mind, Shit… I’m a fucking midget.

It hurt realizing that my height something, I inherited through genetics, was ripped away from me, but my train of thought on my first world problems came to an immediate halt when the princess spoke once more.

“Tis a title given to us by our subjects and thou speakest of giving one’s name, but thou is unable to do so. Is thou concentration short as thyself?” the insolent princess looked me up and down with a stern face and frown.

“You dare mock my height you insolent whelp?!” I took a few steps forward and jabbed my staff into the ground. “I am Veigar! You plebe, and you having the ability to command the celestial body of the sun! Ha! Don’t make me laugh. I shall show you true celestial power!” with that a rain of dark matter came crashing down upon and around us, many coming close to the princess and myself, but never actually hitting us. The princess had raised a golden shield around herself all the while I laughed maniacally.

“Art thou insane! To pull the stars from the sky to use as a weapon! Thou are more impossible than Discord himself!”

“I know not of who you speak of, but understand this: Do not make me your enemy,” I said pointing my right hand at her.

“Thou hast made thyself an enemy by attacking us!” her mane and tail bursting into fire as her eyes glowed white with power.

“An attack! This is nothing more than a demonstration,” with that the rain of comets ended. We stood there for a good minute, staring at one another, not making a move. As time passed my sanity slowly returned and I just processed what happened.

What. The. Fuck. Just. Happened. I didn’t even say my real name. Veigar is not my name, my name is Veigar. My name is Veigar, my name is Veigar. Veigar is not my name!

…

Okay. Oookay... So apparently my name is Veigar. Because apparently whenever I try to say my real name, “Veigar” comes out. Hm… My name is Alex. Okay looks like I can lie about my name. Again my train of thought came to an end when I heard the sound of wings and something hitting the ground, looking over i saw a night blue horse approach from the sky. Great, another one.

“Sister! Art thou alright? What hast happened? Thou art in flames,” the night blue horse said as she approached Celestia.

“Sister stay back, the creature in front of us is more trouble than Discord and Sombra combined,” the white horse commanded her sister.

The dark horse stepped away from her sister and looked at me, “Tis that the creature the one giving off the energy?”

“Indeed, and we must deal with him or it shall cause more trouble than just this here field,” it was then that the sister looked at her surroundings and noticed craters of dirt with little glowing rocks in them. “It was able to pull the stars from the sky and use them as weapons,” never once did the princess take her eyes off me as she spoke to her sister who was investigating the craters.

“I will have you know I have a name,” I said finally taking note of my high pitched, raspy voice, Huh… weird. “And my name is Veigar and my gender is male,” finally I was out of my insane persona and I was ready to hold a conversation.

“Sister, art thou sure it ‘twas stars that this… Veigar? Pulled from our night?” She asked levitating a glowing rock from a crater, her face in slight disbelief.

“Of course we are sure Luna. It twas raining down upon us with the force of a hundred dragons,” still staring at me as if she wanted to kill me. She probably did and I wouldn’t be surprised.

“Hast thou even laid thy eyes upon our night? We see no stars that are out of place and none are missing” letting the rock fall out of her magic after having examined it with a loud thud hitting the ground. “It is quite the heavy rock, far too heavy to just be a rock in fact.”

“Luna if I let this creature out of my sights, surely it shall flee or use another one of its dark abilities upon us,” I think her stare is gazing into my soul. Seriously, if looks could inflict pain of any kind, I would have two holes in me from where her eyes were looking at me.

I was getting annoyed from the white one calling me creature, “For the last time, as I’ve said, this creature has a name and that name is Veigar! If you wish to not be hit by something worse then you shall and will use it! But please do continue your conversation while I get my thoughts in order,” I’ve fucked up again haven’t I?

“Now this creature wishes to threaten us!”

“I have a name you insufferable whelp!” I yelled.

“Insult us even!” she yelled as she brought out her wings, her horn charging with magic.

“If you are looking for a fight it shall surely be a tilted one in my favor!” a ball of dark energy forming to my right above my gauntlet.

Tension was building between the two of us, insanity fueling my power and rage fueling her’s. Between us waves of dark energies met waves of heat. I had no idea how I was doing any of this, but surely doing nothing at this point would get me killed in an instance; therefore, I went along with it. If it keeps me alive, I’m not complaining.

The charge in Celestia’s horn was growing and my ball of dark energy was almost ready. It was then when a contingent of what I assumed were guards came out of the forest and into the “soon to be battlefield.” Great, more worms!

Again! Why am I thinking like this?

Though I do admit they are a bit of a nuisance.

“I have no patience for this!” With that said, I threw my ball of energy towards Celestia in the middle of her charging a spell. Assuming that this was the ability Primordial Burst, than my attack should do damage based on how much ability power I have and approximately eighty percent of hers.

I watched as the ball flew towards her, she immediately cut off her spell and formed a shield around herself. Unfortunately for her, the domed shield immediately broke after coming into contact with the ball. And as soon as it broke, Celestia was sent off to the other side of the forest opening. Smoke emanated from her landing position, and a large crater was dug into the earth.

“Sister!” Luna yelled in the direction of her fallen sister. “Now we believe that such a feat is possible with the likes of you,” she was now staring at me, “Guards! Detain this criminal!”

A loud, “By your word!” was all they said and they immediately began to rush me. These insolent fools challenge me!

They had crossed half the opening in a matter of seconds, but I was prepared. As soon as they were a mere meters away from me, my trap activated. Event Horizon, a stunning ability that stopped all who passed any of the borders. With them all stunned I summoned my Dark Matter ability to rain down upon them. Unlike my rain of small dark matter particles, this one was a large concentration of the stuff. Hitting the ground it left all those in its path as ash and dust.

“Fiend!” Now Luna was rushing me with a variety of levitating swords. “Thou hast slain our subjects, and thou will pay with thy life! Thou hast harmed our sister as-” Luna’s small rant was cut of by me blasting her in the face with Baleful Strike, the dark energy immediately blasting her away.

“As I’ve said whelp, I do not have the patience or time to play around with the likes of you,” The field we were in was a smoldering mess, my dark matter comets corrupting the soil, the ashes and guts of the guards were everywhere, Princess Celestia was in a massive crater; hopefully dead, and Luna was in a small crater of her own.

I didn’t know what I was feeling, but it felt... good. These creatures who insulted me, provoked me, and attempted to fight me, were defeated so easily. I felt powerful, like nothing could stop me. But as this feeling coursed through me, the sound of falling rocks reached my ears. Looking towards the direction of the sound, I looked face first into a beam of light. Oh fuck m-

I was tossed into the side of a tree, the beam continuing to burn me. In the corner of my vision I saw torrents of flames wafting up to greet my feet. Turning to the side, I could see that a large forest fire was burning through the foliage. I’m going to be burned at the trunk at this rate!

I was beginning to fear for my life. I didn’t want to die like this to the han- hooves of a horse. I had to find a way out, turning to my left I saw an opening in the trees. It was another field smaller than the current one, but if I could get past it I might be able to survive. Pushing myself off the tree was the difficult task as the beam of light pushed me back into it.

It was at this point that I was reaching out towards the opening with my scepter. And to my joy I was there in a flash. I had teleported out of the blinding light, away from the murderous horse. Looking back to where I was, I saw the old tree was burned to ash as the beam passed over and vanished. Poor tree… You have served me well. I must depart. Know that I will return for you to give you a just reward… What the hell am I saying?

With my level of insanity in tatters I decided it would be best to retreat, Taking vengeance from a prison much less the after world would be too difficult, I must retreat… Why would I want revenge me?

Vengeance shall be mine!

Again! Why would I want revenge! If we go back, I- We are so dead!

… I’m talking to myself. Just fucking great.

I began my journey through the forest, not knowing where I was going. All I knew was that I wanted to be as far away as possible from those two.

“Sister dost thou kill the criminal?!” Luna was now out of the crater and was now side by side with her sister.

“No Luna, it appears that he has escaped our clutches. There is a faint sense of teleportation in the air, far too weak to trace. He must be nearby,” Celestia was no eyeing the treeline around her. There was no movement and nothing suspicious to make her move. “When we return to the castle have the guards double the patrols. Have every guard at the ready. We will also require a team to track down that monster.”

“Of course Tia, we shall also take thy Day Court while thou tends to thy wounds,” Luna gave a soft nod to Celestia’s side were a large patch of fur was burned off and her skin showing signs of high level of burns.

“Thank you, whatever he did it was not only his magic that hit us but ours as well. I know not of what powers he possesses, but they are far too dangerous. I had to use several high level healing spells before I could get up, I’m surprised that I even managed that beam,” Celestia took one step and suddenly keeled over. Her legs buckling and her head meeting the ground in a thud.

“Sister, thou must get some rest. Thy magic reserves are low and you are in physical pain,” Luna levitated her sister on her back, she could hear her sister’s soft snores. “Sweet dreams Tia, know that our kingdom is safe, and The Hunt… So it begins,” with that Luna began the flight home to the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, face full of determination to protect the things she holds dear. Little did she know that she was being tailed by a wisp of wind.

Author's Note

Just so you know, especially for those League fans out there, this Veigar was from the time when he did the plus 80% opponent's AP. It is not the Veigar from season 6 I believe, don't quote me on that. All those abilities you read were his Q,W,E, and R (Not in order). I also chose the old Veigar ult (R), because we're in a world of magic, Celestia and Luna are magic beings. I thought it would give him a fair fight. Now for the percent of missing health or something, I see possibilities as a lesser spell.

This chapter had two paths, the peaceful path or the battle path. I chose the latter. After all peaceful encounters are pretty norm on this site and group so I thought I'd spice things up. I also just wanted to show off his move pool to you guys, as well as show off his insanity from peering into the void. For those who don't know some basic "Displaced lore" when one looks into the "Void" , the thing in between realities, one goes insane because they can't handle it.

Now, if thou is confused about the time frame of this chapter, it is from way way way back in the past of the history of Equestria. As you read Discord is stoned and Sombra is vaped upped and iced. So that means three events needed to take place before I bring out the "Interludes." Premiere (first for french); the Tirek fiasco, Numero dos (figure it out); Veigar getting stone or vaped or iced or mooned, or all of the above, and lastly the nightmare moon fiasco. That's like a solid 4-6 Chapters right there, 2-3 if I make them long, but who has time for that.

As what will become the "as perusal," please do comment. It let's me know if my story is entertaining, if I need to work on something or just something positive. Thank you for reading, and I hope you live a relatively wonderful life!
