Over sixty-five years ago I was turned to stone.
The claustrophobia has been almost unbearable. I'd been turned to stone after being defeated by The Main Six. Discord had snapped his talon and sealed my fate along with my friends Tirek and Chrysalis. We had been separated shortly after into our own separate stone prisons.
During this time, I've heard the leaves fall from the trees and I've listened as the seasons changed year after year. So much time has gone by that I've begun to lose count by this point. Being trapped in stone has so far been the most horrific experience of my life. My name is Cosy Glow and this is part of my story.
My power had diminished to around five percent after the spell had been cast. Despite this, I had still been able to overhear everything that had gone on around me. I often thought of Twilight as I remained trapped, still as a statue. She would have been unaware of my continuing consciousness.
After all this time, although my Mother is obviously still deceased, I have accepted this now. This is what happens when you have nothing to do but be alone with your thoughts.
I don't know how long it had been exactly, before I suddenly heard the stone surrounding me beginning to crack! Before I knew it, I was out of my stone prison. I began to laugh but was instantly distracted by something I could see out of my peripheral vision. It was a piece of paper.
Hmmm, I thought to myself. What is a piece of paper doing here?
I walked over to pick it up and began to read:
Dear Cosy Glow,
I felt so sorry for you, still being trapped in your stone prison. It's now 2020! You've been through so much! I know you lost your Mother. Your story is much more tragic then any pony could ever imagine. I am here to help you.
I have left you a secret submarine. It's made from vibranium so it is invincible. This means that almost nothing can break it. It is completely safe for you to use. This submarine will take you to the location of the sunken Titanic.
"Where is this supposed submarine?" I hear you ask. There is a secret button located back where you had been standing before being freed from your entrapment. Look below the spot where your tail had been. The massive pond in front of you is where you should focus your attention after pressing this button.
Kindest Regards,
THE ONE.
The one? Who is he? I thought to myself.
I shook off these thoughts and flapped my wings for the first time in who knows how long. I managed to find the button easily and rolled my eyes as I wondered how no other pony had found it before me.
But then it hit me. No pony had cared enough to come here looking for me, even over all these years. I pushed that sad thought to one side as I pressed the button.
I watched in amazement as the biggest submarine I had ever seen began to rise from the water . I got in quickly and fought to collect my composure. I closed the hatch and started the massive engine. I found some blue prints for the submarine sitting beside me, which showed the propeller was ninety five meters wide!
Ten minutes into my journey I figured out how to control this one kilometre long submarine. According to the plans, the Submarine was called the HP One Kilometre. The fins were located near the back of the submarine. I pondered on the name. One kilometre was self explanatory but I don't know what HP stands for. The drawing resembled hose parts. maybe that was it?
After twenty minutes into my quest to seek out the grand Titanic and the secrets that lie within, I got restless. I put the submarine on auto pilot so I could explore the rest of the sub. Unlike the i400 submarine, which held aeroplanes inside, this sub stored nuke rockets everywhere. This submarine was also over eight times bigger then even the i400!
After five more minutes of thinking and exploring, I found myself in the torpedo room which also had nukes. However they were not rockets, they were just torpedoes. I started thinking that if they were to strike a ship, then boom! Gone...just like that! This was a really scary thought.
I got out of there and headed back to the driver's seat. I left it on auto pilot and l crossed my two front legs and as I sat back on the seat to think. I soon fell asleep, obviously exhausted over all that had happened.
CHAPTER 2 COSY FINDS HERSELF IN NOT SUCH A GLOWY ENVIRONMENT
Twelve hours later an electronic voice announced that we were approaching our destination. The submarine was getting closer to the Titanic. The irritation announcing announcement was repeating itself over and over again until i shut it down.
I then looked over at the radar only to see nothing....all except for the shape of a merpony. I was shocked!
Merponies exist?! I thought to myself.
I turned on the lights to see the merpony better and my blood ran cold. She was an alicorn that looked just like Luna. The only difference was she had a long red mane. She also had a green coat and yellow eyes that looked completely different to one hundred percent of any pony I've ever met or manipulated in my life.
This merpony looked sad... as if she had lost some merpony close to her just like I had.
I calmly put on the speakers to communicate with her and I got a camera to rise from the submarine. This two-way speaker and camera allowed us to see as well as hear one another.
"Hello! Who are you?" I asked the merpony in a friendly tone. " I come in peace. My name is Cosy Glow and your name is?"
"Sunny Meadows," the merpony replied in a soft voice.
"Nice to meet you Sunny Meadows. I sense you are troubled. I have experienced loss as I suspect you have too."
I felt nervous as I pondered how to ask my next question.
"How did you become to live under the sea as a merpony?" I asked timidly.
"I cannot tell you but I can show you," she replied generously.
Obviously sensing I was not a threat, I asked another question.
"Can I become a merpony too?"
To my surprise she responded with this.
"Yes you can Cosy Glow."
I was filled with joy and parked my new submarine next to where the grand Titanic was. I found it's location using my radar. I put on a vibranium suit, oxygen tank along with the mask and goggles. I then tapped into the last of my power and felt a faint horn appear. I teleported out of the submarine and swam toward Sunny Meadows.
Once I became face to face with my new friend, I asked about her powers.
"How powerful are you sunny meadows?"
She blinked a few times before replying.
"I am the infinite great grandmother of god."
My smile disappeared and I was unable to hide the look of horror on my face. I was feeling worried by this pronouncement as Sunny Meadow's power was obviously even stronger than Discord's.
I shook the fear off as my instincts told me she would never do something like turning me into stone.
"I'm ready now Princess Sunny. Please turn me into a merpony."
i closed my eyes and spread my hooves out. I felt the magic flow around me as it covered my whole body. The vibranium suit be fell away back into the submarine. A tail suddenly appeared where my legs used to be and just one minute later I was a merpony! This also meant I was an alicorn!
"Thank you so much!" I said with gratitude.
I felt so much joy and pride that I impulsively hugged her tight. Afterwards, I told her my whole story from start to finish and she was surprised. She said she felt so sorry for me.
"Well Cosy Glow, I also lost everything close to me like you did. That's why I agreed to turn you into an alicorn."
I was extremely moved by her kindness and sent a silent thanks to the one that bought me here.
"I had sensed right away that we were kindred spirits." she continued. " I've buried the submarine and the grand Titanic is now your home Cosy Glow."
Sunny Meadows suddenly turned coy before posing her next question.
"My little Cosy Glow. I have been alone for such a long time. Please...if you would be so kind...would you consider becoming my daughter?"
My heart filled to overflowing at this surprising request. I knew straight however that it just felt right.
"Yes!" I agreed happily and boarded my new home upon the grand Titanic.
THE END
