The Shadow Queen

Once there was a queen of Equestria who hated ponykind.

Her name was The Shadow Queen. Many ponies were enslaved, including Celestia and Luna. One day, Luna and Celestia were spying on The Shadow Queen and heard the worst thing in their lives. The Shadow Queen was going to control everypony and drive them into killing each other. Celestia teleported she and Luna outside and they flew to the town where everypony stayed. They tried to warn everypony about the necklaces, nopony believed them. Well, except for a Pegasus filly named Cadenza, Cadenza swore she wouldn’t put on any necklaces. Celestia was happy at least to have warned somepony. However, Luna was angrier. “WELL, DON’T COME CRAWLING TO US WHEN YOU KILL EACH OTHER! WE CANNOT BELIEVE THEE! WE ARE A PRINCESS AND WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS-THIS-DISCRIMINATION!” Luna yelled, using the royal Canterlot voice. Luna trudged off angrily. “Come on Celly. We don’t need these ponies.” Luna said through gritted teeth. Celestia reluctantly followed. They returned to their home where their parents were waiting. “Where were you two?” Princess Artemis asked worriedly.

“We’ve been… playing outside.” Luna lied to their mother. Prince Apollo nodded.

“Very well my dears, but ‘tis late. Now you must get to bed.” Prince Apollo instructed. The next day, their father found four necklaces on the fireplace. He believed them to be gifts from Zeus himself. He grabbed Luna and Celestia. “Put on these new gifts from Zeus, and I’m sure we shall all have good fortune.” he exclaimed. Celestia backed away quickly then ran into her room. Luna, however, was too stunned to move. Her father forced the necklace upon her neck as he did his. Artemis could not stand to see this, for she had seen The Shadow Queen’s evil plans. Later: Artemis had read about this curse. Much like the Alicorn Amulet, it had to be taken off by the pony wearing the necklace. Artemis snapped Apollo out of his trance, getting him to take off the necklace. However, when they stood up against The Shadow Queen, they were killed. Celestia watched as a flood of ponies under the influence of the necklaces came into the castle and killed The Shadow Queen. In shock of what they did, they threw down the necklaces. And Celestia and Luna hid them in a faraway place where they hoped nopony found them. But the last words of the evil queen still rang in Celestia’s ears. “In one thousand years, I shall come back! All shall remember the name of The Shadow Queen! Beware ponies of Equestria!” and with that, she melted into pure shadow. The sisters remembered that sentence for years to come, but they hoped it would never come true. However, it did. One thousand years later, a book was found. And SHE was released into the world.
