A new Beginning !?...
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter the defeat of, the God of Chaos, Discord. Equestria returned to be a peaceful land, where ponies from different kinds lived in. These ponies were sorted by: pegasus, ponies with capabillity of flying; unicorns, ponies with capability of casting spells; and earth ponies, the most common ones.
Everypony in Equestria was expecting that this new era, the era of "The Two Sisters", would bring them prosperity and happiness. But they're wrong... A few miles away a centaur, accompanied by his younger brother, was trotting towards Equestria, he had recieved information that pony magic was the strongest magic that ever existed. He had a plan, a plan that consisted in stealing their magic and rule over them, and none, nothing would stand in his way.
In Canterlot.
It was a normal night to all ponies, Luna was in charge of the task of keeping the ballance at the night, helping foals surprassing their worst nightmares, until...
She had entered a dream, from a different specie, she couldn't describe it but it felt horrible for her, but it seems that the creature was happy with that 'nightmare', what she didn't know was, that dream was the dream of Tirek.
She was terrified by that dream, and kept thinking 'Hmm, maybe I'm not seeing the right thing maybe is just a normal animal that is dreaming this.', but she knew that she was wrong, she couldn't enter animal dreams. She only can enter dreams, that are dreamed by creatures with reasoning.
'No, this can't be true. It can't be, this kind of creature is a legend, maybe is a pony that keep dreaming with this.' she thought 'Maybe, just maybe I'll consider that, this is a dream of a pony.'
She used her magic to return to her bedroom, it was time for her to rest, the sun was rising and a new day was coming up.
After miles and miles of walking, Tirek and Scorpan finally arrived at their destination.
"Now, my little brother. Let's take their magic." he proposed.
"Of course, dear brother." he said. "When should we start?" he asked
"We need to... maybe gain their trust and respect; and then we attack." he said
Tirek used his magic to create a little cave on a mountain for them to spend the night.
The next day.
Tirek summoned Scorpan.
"Dear brother. I want you to go out and try to form a decent relationship with them." he proposed
"Why me? Why we can't go and try to do that?" he asked
"Because you don't look threatful, and you had this 'ability' of soft talking with creatures. Could you do that?"
He nodded. "I won't fail you."
"I'll hope not."
With that settled, Scorpan trotted towards Canterlot.
Scorpan had sucessufuly arrived at Canterlot and started to look for ponies that he could talk to. But when he showed up to ponies, they ran away. This kind of events made Celestia suspicious, that she decided to investigated what was causing this despair.
When she came near her balcony she saw him.
"What are you?" she asked, while using her royal voice. "What are you doing here, trying to scare my little creatures?"
Upon heard her words Scorpan's body trembled. He then said. "I was just passing by. Oh and by the way, I'm Scorpan and I'm a gargoyle."
"What are you proposes? Why are you here?" she asked
"As I told you, I was passing by and decided to see if there was something living in here." he answered
She decided to left her royal voice and said. "Well, if you want to you could meet me? Come on, I'll be waiting for you in the main hall."
He nodded and started trotting towards Canterlot Palace.
Celestia left her balcony and heard the main hall door opens.
"My princess. I heard that you used your royal voice. Is something wrong?" Shadow Night asked while entering the main hall.
"No. Everything's in order." she answered.
"Alright, if you need something don't hesitate on calling me. I'm might be your sister personal guard, but your father established me as a guardian for both of you."
Suddenly he heard the door openning. He turned his head back and saw him, a different creature entering the main hall, without permisson.
"HALT!!" he said. "You won't get any further. What are you doing here?" he asked while stading in his defensive position.
"It's ok, Shadow Night, this creature is here to meet me." she said. "You can return to your guarding position."
He nodded and left his defensive position, he stepped towards Scorpan and said.
"If you are here to hurt any of my princess?" he asked. "There's no place to hide."
Scorpan nodded while feeling his body tremble in fear. 'Strange the only one that could made me fear for my life is my brother. Why this poor little creature is scaring me so much?' he asked himself.
"Don't hesitate on calling for me, my princess." he said while leaving both of them alone in the main hall. 'This smells fishy, this creature, I might meet one of these before but where.' he said to himself.
In the main hall.
Scorpan and Celestia were talking about themselfes.
"So you're Scorpan, a mythical creature, right?" she asked.
He nodded. "I thought that alicorns were extinct, because of those 'Shadow Ponies'." he said
"Oh. You know the story after all. yes we're suppose to be extincted but we're not." she said. "That guard, that threated you is one of them."
'Impossible. That can't be true they're killed by Tirek.' he said to himself.
"Sorry, but I didn't catch the last sentence. That guard is a shadow pony?" he asked, while giving a confused look.
She nodded. "Actually he's not my guard, he's my little sister guard, personal guard to be exact. So, what bring you here at the land of ponies?"
"I'm studying their magic." he said.
"Alright, you can stay as long you don't be a threat to us." she said.
He nodded and turned himself around heading to the main hall door. "We will meet again, for sure." he said while opening the main hall door.
Then he closed the main hall door and trotted towards his cave to give his brother the news.
Shadow Night was heading towards his secret library, he knew that he saw a creature like this before, but where.
When he entered his library he started to find by that book, mysterious shadow animals were moving around his library.
Finally he found the book. He decided to read it and look for that creature.
'Alicorn, no. Centaur, no. Minotaur, no. Windigo, no. Gargoyle,yes. it's this.' he said 'Gargoyles are known for having a power of absorving vital magic, they normally were accompanied by a centaur or draculas. Their threat level is 4 to 10.' he stopped to read the book.
'I knew it, I knew it. This guy, I will keep an eye on you. If you ever,ever dare to touch them. I will not hesitate on killing you.'
Then he noticed that the sun was settling down, giving him a signal that Luna is awake now.
'I need to warn her, she had to know about this. Celestia probably won't believe me if I told her.'
In Tirek cave.
Scorpan returned from his mission with great news for his brother.
"Ah, Scorpan, what took you so long?" Tirek asked
"I was talking to their 'leader'. An Alicorn, could you believe it." answered.
"But, they're supossed to be extinct right." he said while looking at him in disbelief. "So, did they trust you?"
"I don't know. She made a proposal to meet me again, tomorrow." he said. "But are you sure you want this?" he asked
"What do you mean? Of course I want this." he said. "Oh, I get it. Your kindness, and your inability to use your true power is making you feel 'sorry' for them, but don't be my brother. We will have a home for us, followers. POWER. Just like you had before." he said.
"Also, there's a shapow pony with them." he said
"What?" Tirek asked. "But, they were deadly enemies. And besides I killed them all."
"Probably this escaped." he said.
"No matter, he won't interfer with our plan, dear brother."
"Look, Tirek. I need that you had this." he said, while giving his necklace.
"What? But this was given by him, remember." he said.
"Consider it a sign of loyalty to you." he said while bowing himself to him.
In the main hall.
Luna was controlling what she did best, the night. When she heard the main hall door opens.
"Luna, are you busy right now?" Shadow Night asked. "I need to talk with you, urgently."
She nodded. "Come in, then. What is bothering you, Shadow Night?"
"Here" he said while showing her the book. "This, this creature appeared today in Canterlot."
"A gargoyle. What is a gargoyle?" she asked.
"It's a mythical creature, normally they live out of pony land. And normally they are accompanied by draculas or centaurs." he said while turning the book pages. "Here is a picture of draculas, And here is the picture of a centaur." he pointed to the respective pictures.
Luna body stoud still when she saw that picture.
"Luna, are you alright?" he asked, while shacking his hoof in front of her eyes.
She blinked her eyes, signaling him that she was back to her senses.
"It's nothing. Thanks for the warning. But, did you think that he could be a threat to us?" she asked
"I'm not sure. But I will keep my suspicion. I will tell Celestia, tomorrow about this." he said. "Now if you excuse me. I will be guarding the main hall doors. Don't hesitate on calling me if you need."
He trotted towards the main hall door, opening it and in the next instant closing it.
'My dreams. They're true. Centaur. Maybe I might be wrong. Now, now Luna, there's no need to panic, you really don't know what they're proposes consist in. So back to my royal job.' she said to herself
She looked at nighty sky and used her magic to control the starts made them shiny and create little falling starts.
