Shining's Rise To Power - Sun & Moon Go To War

“Thank you for having me my king.”

“It’s always a pleasure sapphire.”

“Shine… can we…. Oh never mind.”

“Can we what sapphire? Please you can speak freely when we are together alone.”

“Can we meet tonight…? After the gala?”

“I don’t see any reason why we can’t.”

“Okay so I will see you tonight then… quick question…”

“Yes….”

“Do your foals know we are dating?”

“No, no yet. I haven’t told them because when I mentioned you to the girls they giggled and taunted me about it. So it kind of put me off. Why do you ask?”

“Because I believe you have just been caught by all 3 of them.”

“Hello daddy…”

“Oh no, I’m not in love with the princess...”

“Okay so you know.”

“Daddy’s in love, dads in love.”

“Flurry, Skyla come on leave dad alone. I’m happy for you dad.”

“Thanks Brave, Sapphire these are my foals. My oldest Furry Heart. My only son, Brave. The last but not least, Skyla.”

“It’s lovely to meet you all. I will let you go shine and I will start to get ready now; I will see you all later. Bye foals, bye shine.”

“See you later Sapphire.”

“Okay, tell me…”

“The court is done for today and I’m going to check on the guards posts for tonight dad.”

“Okay, see you later brave be in the throne room at about 7pm please that gives you 4 hours. No excuses for not dressing formal! Flurry…”

“Just going to pick up mine and sisters dresses, from the new designer. I’m glad you found a new one.”

“The best in the city on short notice. Okay again 4 hours go! My little princes I’m going to guess you want story time as you have been nagging all morning.”

“Yes! You were at where the war started…”

****

Okay, so the bang outside.

I, auntie twilight, a maid and you 3 children were still in the library. When the Captains of the princesses both rushed in and explain that the princesses had gone to war. I rushed to the window to see Celestia and Luna at full power both flew towards each other. As they did, they both shot a beam of magic the beams collided and a ball of pure magic was growing. As I watched the captains explained that what the princesses were doing, they had done seconds before causing an explosion and blowing the throne room to pieces. I cast my gaze back to the ball as it exploded. The wave of energy blew 2 towers and the street below to smithereens. Luckily the library was far enough away that we just felt the explosion shock waves and it did very little damage to the library. I watched as Celestia seem to flee as she did Luna gave chase and they flew away into the distance.

“Okay Captains, the Princesses have flown a bit away from the city. We must warn everyone to take cover and stay inside.”

They both looked scared. Then it dawned on me the whole celestial army was against the Luna army which left us on our own…

“I understand get to your princesses’ sides and do as ordered. We will fix this!” I said and they galloped away.

This left me, your auntie and you foals vulnerable. We took you to the basement of the castle where I prayed you would be safe. I left you with 2 maids and placed my shield around the 5 of you just in case.

Twilly and I went back to the library. We agree that we needed to get the elements and stop this. Twilly went by train to fetch the elements while I went to the armies to make sure everyone was aware this would end before it properly had begun but as I finished talking to Lightening flash and was talking to Silver moon, Both Princesses returned and ordered their armies to fight each other.

I teleported myself up to the library so I didn’t have to watch as ponies, the solders I had trained were slaughtered over something, no one actually knew…

I went to the higher level section of the library to see it there was any spells. I could use to halt this madness until Twilly came back I didn’t want innocent ponies dying because of an unknown cause. I thought of your mother, what she would do in this situation. It didn’t help it just made me want to get you 3. I took a glimpse outside at the damage and destruction and decided I couldn’t leave you 3 to hear this and be alone. I teleported down to the basement got you 3 with the maids and teleported all 6 of us to the library. I looked outside to see half of the castle destroyed. Most of the expensive homes were destroyed.

Looked down my parent’s road and saw our house gone! This was personal all the memories all the times. My childhood where me and Cady first met…

****

You and mum met in your parents’ house?

Yeah, your mother was babysitting Twilly. We needed a babysitter for Twilly because I was training in the army and my mum and dad were royal magic mages. We met in the front room. I walked in to see 1 of the princesses I was told I had to protect and she was standing in the living room! We went on dates and we married.”

“Aww sweet.”

“Oh really, then why the teasing with Saph?"

“Cause its funny…”

****

I rushed out of the door telling the maids to stay with you 3. I galloped down the hall to the royal magic archives. Basically where the top mages work. I rushed in startling every pony working to see both my parents’ safe working. I explain what had happened and they said they would meet us after work in the library.

I trotted back to the library feeling relived. I paced back and forth while Flurry and Brave read books and you took a nap… How I have no idea the loud explorations and screams where awful.

After what felt like forever. The elements came trotting in and dash of course flew.

Finally we could begin your fight against these stupid princesses…
