Why do I Have to Clean Up?

At first it was darkness.

Then everything turned white.

I was walking up a staircase, hands bound together.

No. Nononononononono-please not this again-

Gods stared ahead, some eyes filled with grief, some with hate.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that this would happen-

I reached the top of the stairs. Three shadowed figures sat.

I wanted to save them-

"Oh how the mighty have fallen!" One figure mocked. The other two shrieked with laughter, yet the rest kept their stony silence.

When the laughter subsided, another stood up.

"Friends, we have gathered here today to witness the exile of the rebel leader!"

Silence.

"So you think it's funny that you killed gods?"I started, anger boiling,"That in order for your conquest, slaughtered countless of innocents? Including your loved one, L-" A gag popped over my mouth, preventing me from saying anything.

"SILENCE!"

I flailed my legs upward.

Wait, where was I?

The sun shined through the window, lighting up the whole room.

Right. In Equestria. Castle.

*Growwwwwwwwwwwwwlll*

What was that?

Oh wait, that's my stomach.

Gods could eat almost anything, even magic. Each kind of magic had a different taste. Elemental magic taste like fruit tart and "Dark" magic taste like that one delicious dark chocolate cake that's a tad too bitter. This world's "Harmony" magic was very light and fluffy, like the best strawberry cake in the world.

Then I remembered Fred.

I teleported somewhere in the middle of the woods, where a cockatrice roost was located.

Food~!

I walked through the forest to the edge. There I saw an apple orchard and changed into my earth filly form and walked out.

The orchard was nicely kept, but the barn was slightly rundown.

I walked through the trees and to what I think is the front of the orchard. There was a long path and it seemed to lead to a small village.

I followed the path and arrived at the center of the town.

Looking around, I spied a cake-looking house in which I assumed it was a bakery. I started walking there when a pink blur passed me.

I stopped in my tracks, blinking multiple times.

Wat.

A pink earth pony with a curly pink mane and tail stared at me. Straight in the eyes.

Confused, I said "Hi."

The pony did an overly-dramatic gasp, flew in the air, and ran away.

Well, that was weird.

I wandered around, taking in the surrounding areas.

I was yanked from behind.

Startled, I yelped before blindly teleporting to the castle.

I looked around and figured that I was in my bedroom, then looked up. The magic infused chandelier glowed with magic. It was created when I tried to clear the foundation of this castle.

It was a gem chandelier with pink, purple, blue, red and orange gems as the "candles". In the center was a perfectly shaped dark pink six-pointed star.

A strong sense of foreboding overcame me.

Eh...

I was tired, so I fell asleep.

Day 2

I went back to the cockatrice roost.

As I was picking my dinner, a small whimper sounded behind me.

I turned around, cockatrice hanging limply in my mouth.

A bright yellow pegasus with pink hair stared at me with horror. It didn't help that I was in my original form.

"Offh, Hefffpho."

Wow, I didn't think she could shrink any more than that.

I spat out the cockatrice, catching it with with my magic and taking a step towards her.

Huh. I swear she was there a moment ago...

Eh...

I went back to the castle.

The sense of foreboding grew stronger.

A few days later...

Celestia stared into the sky, watching the setting sun plunge Equestria into darkness.

From the the time when she first saw it to now, the sky never changed.

Sure, there were times where clouds blocked patches of the endless blue, where the windigos stormed across the sky, when Discord turned it purple, but the sky was always there, unyielding and unaffected by the times below.

She sighed.

Tonight, she would be freed. Celestia had already sent her student to the village next to her old castle. She hoped that she would be able to make friends in time.

"Hello, sister."

She froze. Her eyes narrowed. She held her head high.

"Hello, Luna."

The voice snarled. "How dare you... Luna is long gone. I am Nightmare Moon."

Dark blue smoke swirled around the darkened room. " It has been a thousand years since our last battle. I see the Elements have forsaken you." The smoke coalesced into a figure in front of Celestia. The voice gave a sinister chuckle. "Will you now stand and fight me without the Elements? Or cower and hide, unwilling to hurt your precious Luna that you think I am?"

Celestia gritted her teeth. It was now or never.

She rose up in the air, her horn flared to life. The figure prepared to fight and turquoise light shone through the gloom. From the tip of Celestia's horn, a ball of light grew and enveloped her. With a bright flash, she was gone.

The light disappeared. The figure stood up and growled. "Coward. You- " The figure stopped. She turned towards the balcony, watching a bright flash in a small village.

The figure grinned, sharp teeth flashing in the moonlight.

You can run, but you can never hide...

With that, the figure spread her wings and flew towards the flash.

I ran through the forest and to the village while applying my earth pony illusion.

Something had compelled me to go in this direction.

I ran through town and into the center building.

I waited amongst the crowd the ponies milling about.

When the curtains opened, every~~one~~pony gasped.

There was no ~~one~~pony there. Instead, dark blue smoke rose up and condensed into a figure.

Evil laughter resounded in the hall.
It had begun.
