I suddenly woke up from my somber by a sharp pain in my neck. It felt like somepony jabbed a syringe into it. Then I noticed a warm liquid slowly ran down the right side.
“What's on me?' I asked myself as I attempted to get out my bed. My body felt it was made up of stone. After a few moments of trying to move it, I gave up and turned my head to my bedroom's entrance. “ Guards, I need assistance please,” I said with a sickly, and barely recognizable tone in my voice. I heard my chamber door cracked open little. Then I saw a tiny, skinny light pink Thestral colt with a blazing blue mane and eyes pop his head after opening the door.
“Hi there, where's your mother or father at? Are you got lost, sweetie?” I asked with a motherly expression before one of my doorway guards came into my room. The foal went behind my guard and tried to hide him from me.
“Miracle Star, you don't fear our sun princess,” My guard said with a fatherly tone in his voice while he looked back at the foal. “Don’t be shy around Princess Celestia,”
“Sorry dad, I got nervous from seeing her for the first time,” Star replied to his father as he carefully analyzed me like a caged animal. I saw his dad gave him a very agreeable head nod. Miracle’s father came to one of my bed’s sides.
“Heads up princess and everyone else, I’m turning the light,” my second bodyguard warned before he turned my bedroom chamber’s light. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to shield my eyes and quickly retreated under my covers. Then somepony was gentle to uncover me from my bed sheets.
“Princess Celestia, do you know you’re bleeding from the right side of your neck?” One of my guards asked concernedly as I was slow to open my eyes.
“I felt some bug bite me and my blood ran down my neck I’m sorry for any inconvenience that I caused you guys,” I told my guards with a very apologetic expression while I looked at them.
“ No! Nonsense! Are you feeling okay, princess?” Star’s dad asked with a concerned look before he wiped the blood off my bug bite’s location with a tissue. I sensed an unusual stinging pain when he touched it. The discomfort caused me to flinch my head little bit.
“Sorry about hurting you, princess. Your bug bite already has a scab on it. One of your custom made pillows have your blood on it. Do you want me to have one of the night maids clean it, night? He asked as he pointed at my pillow that my head laid on with one of his forelegs.
“It’s okay. Yes please, you can help. I think I’m getting sick with something. Does your colt wanna be in a picture with me before I go to sleep?” I inquired curiously before trying to lift my head off my cushion. I was amazed that I could raise my head that well. After the photo the guard moved my bloody pillow and replaced it a new one, I successfully moved to my side and thought fatigue caused my temporary paralysis and my strained voice.
“You’re welcome, Princess Celestia. Hey Star, she offered to be in a photo with you,” his father said with a slightly excited tone in his voice. “Y-y-yes princess Celestia, I’ll gladly be in a photo with a goddess,” Miracle Star hesitantly replied.
“Good, I have a perfect pose for it. Here is my flash-less camera,” I exclaimed with a smile after I materialized my camera from thin air, giving it to one of my guards and lifted the young pink Thestral on my bed magically. I moved his body near my heart and embraced him tightly with both of my forelegs. In addition, I covered his body except for his head with one of my wings. “I’m ready for the photo,” I stated happily while grinning.
“My poor son! You’re embarrassing him, Celestia! Are you ready for the photo, son?” his father questioned before he suppressed a laugh with one of his hoofs. I felt colt nod his head. “Okay, everyone says ‘cheese," Star’s dad announced before taking the picture.
“Celestia, can you put me on the floor please?” Miracle asked nicely looking up at me.
“Sure, Star Miracle,” I said sweetly before unwrapping him from my forelegs and wing. Then I was gentle to levitate him off my bed to the ground.
“Thank you, princess!” he expressed with a grin while his dad gave the photo and my camera back to me.
“Before you go, I’ll sign your picture and give you one of my feathers to keep,” I pronounced before teleporting my camera to my void and signed his picture with my magic. In a split second, I got one feather from my wing and handed it over him with my right foreleg. Then I covered myself with my soft blankets and put my head on my pillow.
“THANK YOU, PRINCESS CELESTIA!” Star Miracle shouted excitedly as he held the feather in one of his wings.
“Your welcome, Star,” I replied back with a satisfied tone of voice while I saw him and my guards moved to my chamber’s entrance.
“You did a good thing for my son, Celestia. Thank you so much,” his dad exclaimed gracefully after he let his son and other guard passed him and left my bedroom. After a few seconds, he turned off the light and shut my door behind him. I laid my head on my pillow and went to sleep.
The sound of my alarm jarred me from my slumber. I was quick to smash the alarm button to silence it with my left foreleg. Within a few moments of being awake, I realized I felt my body was warmer than normal. I uncovered myself and materialized my digital thermometer putting it under my tongue and waited for its beep and read its result.
“ I’m running a fever of one hundred two point two, jeez! I’d better stay in my bed all day. Why am I starving?” I thought concernedly to myself as I stretched my body. I teleported my thermometer into my void After a few of my joints popped, and I was slow to get out my bed and put on my comfortable slippers. Then I got out my bed and made it with magic. Next, I lit my horn to give me light and went to my chamber’s doors.
“Can one of you please tell my scheduler that I’m staying in my room because I’m sick with a fever for me? Can you also ask one of the castle cooks to make a vegetable noodle soup and put in the biggest bowl they got?” I asked with a hint of fatigue in my voice after I opened my door and popped my head out in the hallway. The guard was on the left side of me and turned her head towards me and exclaimed “Yes princess Celestia, One of us will tell your scheduler and nearest chief as soon as possible. I’m sorry for you got sick,” She flashed a smirk my way.
“Thank you for your sympathy,” I said warmly as I returned same gesture to her. We then exchanged our farewells to each other before pulling my head back inside my room and closed my bedroom’s entrance. I switched on my chamber light blinding me. After a few moments, my eyes finally adjusted to the light and I went to the balcony dual glass doors. I went out onto the balcony, raising my sun into the sky. The star’s light felt so good it silenced my hunger. My body felt like it feeds on my sun’s energy.
“I don’t know why my hunger is gone and I suddenly have an urge to sleep in the sunshine,” I thought as I laid down on my belly. After a few seconds, I gently put my head on the stone ground and went to sleep.
After some time, I woke up from my nap by somepony softly rubbing my back. I looked behind me and saw a light mint colored unicorn maid with a long chocolate and white mane.
“Oh Chocolate Taffy, what time is it?” I questioned with a curious look before rubbing my eyes with my left foreleg.
“It’s twelve thirty, and I’m here to give you your soup. I was here this morning, but you were sleeping so I didn’t want to wake you. Why are your mane and tail like blazing flames!?” she exclaimed with an amazed expression. I then spotted Miracle Star was sleeping on her back.
“My overall color, as well as my eye color, changed to flaming orange and yellow because I absorbed too much energy from our sun. They’ll return back to their normal colors in time. Why is Miracle on your back?” I inquired with great interest
“I'm foal-sitting him because his father’s marefriend wants personal time with her stallion. I’m fascinated by your mane, tail, and god-like powers. Anyways here is your fresh, warm soup you requested, princess” she exclaimed with a big smile while she put my soup in front of me with her dark chocolate colored magic. Then the green mint unicorn mare was careful to analyze something in my eyes.
“Thanks, T…,” I tried to thank her, but she interrupted me.
“Sorry for interrupting you, princess. I need to go now, good evening,” Taffy said with an apologetic grin before she galloped to the doors and left my room.
“Well then, she maybe forgot to do something in her daily schedule of duties. I wish I could eat her and Star instead my soup,” I thought to myself as I stared at my lunch. After a few seconds, I realized I considered my subjects were food and blamed it on my hunger. I looked down at my food and magically made the heavenly liquid disappear instead of using any silverware. In a split second, I hastily swallowed it in one gulp and licked my lips. I moved my soup bowl onto my nightstand and went to sleep by my new train of thought.
After some time, my alarm clock woke me up. I moved my head to see what time it was. I recognized it was my alarm that reminded me to set the sun. I strongly sensed an evil darkness that steadily grew bigger and devoured me.
“I need to teleport away from any pony after I reformat my automatic day cycle spell for my subjects to survive,” I thought to myself in a panic before standing up and casting my spell. I was quick to Teleport to the Everfree Forest. After my teleportation, my body collapsed onto the grassy ground. In a few seconds, I sensed an unbearable pressure in my horn. It felt like something tried to get out of me. After a few agonizing moments of pain, my horn started to crack from the pressure. Then it broke and unleashed unbelievable amounts of magic that were inside.
“What the?” I thought in amazement before the magic formed a mini star and devoured me. Then it rapidly began to shrink and compacted me into a ball. Unfortunately for me, my bones started to break the magic. After a few slow moments of crying from pain, the magical star collapsed and exploded with me inside it. Fortunately for me, I was still alive and opened my eyes to see the magic blast cleared everything within a large area around me. The cleared land was barren dirt, and I looked down at one of my forelegs. Its color was black with some purplish hues and a few stars that were the outer rim of it instead pearl white. I wasn’t alarmed with my new body appearance due to my new instincts, urging me to search from the closest cliff to the nearest town. After a few moments of searching the peak, I found one in the distance and teleported to it. After my teleportation, I surveyed my surroundings and saw Ponyville flying in the distance. My body automatically materialized and absorbed every living thing on the peak.
“I’m near Ponyville which is good for my plan to conquer this world. The Elements of Harmony are living this town. I need to corrupt or kill them for the success of my plan,” I thought happily before I smiled at the town.
The End
