Celestia's Son

Solar Chaos woke up, and saw a blue sky overhead. His memories flooded his mind, the worlds he had been to, the power he accumulated, the reason he had been forced to go on his journey. The lover who spurned him, his father who was never there, and his family who turned on him him when he needed them most.

His fist clenched, he loved them, some even joined him as part of his herd. They let him down, and he suffered for it. He was sent away with nothing but a spark of his power, and he spent lifetimes rebuilding his power, changing forms as he needed, finally coming to a bipedal creature known as a human.

He chose it for it’s adaptability, and it’s ability to harness magical power, though some worlds have a great many humans who have forgotten the talent, and a few where the art has been completely forgotten.

He needed the ability to harness his power properly though, and for that, he needed his alicorn form, and that was locked in a tomb of stone. He would be too if he didn’t force his soul out of the plane with a piece of his power. Just enough to reform around.

And that’s how he started, bouncing from world to world, rebuilding his power from nothing to enough to rival what he had before. He got up and stretched, loosening his muscles and letting his power flow to his extremities. He looked around, seeing nothing but trees, though one started to move towards him. The timber wolf growled at him baring it's wooden teeth and getting within mere inches of Solar's face, which then smirked as he snapped his fingers, releasing a wave of plasma in a hundred foot circle of him, incinerating everything but him.

Happy with his work, he looked to the sky to gauge to time, and then the direction he wished to go. After waiting a few moments, he began to head to his left, towards what he remembered to be where Ponyville once was. He knew that the sound of the blast would attract scouts, and then the race would be on.

He had to reach his former body if he had any hope of keeping this form stable, or even returning to his body if worst came to worst.

Four hours later…

“These markings are strange…” Twilight said to Rainbow Dash.

“I know what they look like Twilight. But only you or the other Princesses would know for sure if he was here.”

“It looks like it, but he is still trapped in stone in Ponyville, anypony can feel his power radiating out of it. So this couldn’t be from him…”

“Who else could it be? Only Solar, Princess Celestia or Flurry Heart have this kind of power!”

“I know, but there could be others that we don’t know about who can harness the power of the sun. Either way, we need to get back to Ponyville and make sure nothing stops the unsealing spell.”

“Fine, but we need to find out who caused what happened here.”

“I agree.” Twilight said as they took off for town.

Two hours later, minutes before sunset.

“Friends and family,” Princess Celestia began as she looked around to those around the statue. Gathered were herself, her sister Luna, her niece Cadence and her daughter Flurry Heart, the Mane 6, the alicorn trio known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Queen Chrysalis, Discord, guards, and assorted ponies from Ponyville. “We are gathered here today to release our beloved Prince Solar from captivity, and hopefully he will agree to be peaceful, and not get into another disastrous fight”*she glanced at Discord as she said this, and he nervously averted his gaze* “Elements of Harmony, if you would please begin the spell.”

“Yes Princess.” They said in unison, and they charged up their magic and fired at the statue.

“NOOOO!!!” Chaos shouted as he broke through the crowd, firing a burst of magic in an attempt to counter the spell. *BANG* The magics collided at the statue, and the stone fell away releasing all of Chaos's former power that surged towards him, merging perfectly with the power he built up from scratch. All that remained from within the statue was a skeleton, which collapsed into a pile.

“DAMNIT!” Chaos yelled as he ran to the bones and collapsed to his knees. Guards quickly surrounded him and he could almost feel their blades closing in.

“Who are you?!” The Guard captain yelled at him.

“Solar Chaos, former prince of Equestria. Now doomed being who will be destroyed by his own power because SOMEPONIES were in a rush to break the curse that they put on me! He yelled without looking up from the bones.

“That’s impossible.” Celestia said as she walked up to him. “Look at me. Please.” He did and the golden gleam of his irises could be seen by everyone in front of him, earning a collective gasp. “How?”

“I sent my soul out with a piece of my power as the spell was taking effect. I’ve spent the time rebuilding my power and taking on different forms to utilize it better. I finally built up enough to put Discord away for good, but now it doesn’t matter. In hours my power will eat away at my body and I will die for nothing…”

“No… I know what to do… You were going to send your soul back into your alicorn body with your power, right?” Solar nodded. “Then what I have in mind will work perfectly, but you will need to do what I say, no matter what. Do you understand?”

“Yes mother.”

“Good, now let us cast the age regression spell on your bones.”

“What? Why?” he asked, earning a scowl from Celestia. “Y-yes mother.” He said as he prepared to cast the spell timing it with her, until they released it in unison to his bones. Slowly, the bones began to return to life, flesh and organs reformed, and it returned to youth, until it reached foulhood.

“Now! Return your soul to it!”, and he obeyed, releasing his spell and dissolving his form and forcing it into the foul. Celestia watched as it glowed golden as his soul returned home. She continued her spell until it reached a fetus, and she ended her spell, and began another quickly firing it at him, and he disappeared.

“Princess! Where did he go?” Twilight asked worriedly.

“Don’t you worry, he'll be just fine. He'll show up again in around nine months.” She said with a smile.

“Sister! Does that mean?”

“Yes, Luna, I'm carrying Solar again. And hopefully I will be able to raise him better this time…”
