Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The Shadow Pony was sitting inside his kingdom that he built through dark magic. The palace looked like something the king of Tartarus would live in. Then again, there are billions of rumours of Shadow Pony's origins. Somepony's say that he is the king of Tartarus, other say's he is the son. And some ponies simply believe that Shadow Pony came to life through the darkness, and has absolutely no relation to Tartarus what so ever. There are millions of questions that Shadow Pony had flat out ignored over the years. He didn't like to talk about his origins, because it is very complicated, especially considering he can see limbo in a different light than any other creature. In limbo, he could see Faust and her angels, he looked at them with a smile on his face. The angels looked at him with fear, but blocked the fear with anger, while Faust looked back at him with a............ smile......

Shadow Pony had alway's been confused as to why, Faust smiled at him even tho, he rebelled. He created the darkness, but he certainly is not the definition of evil. Faust had told the other angels that, wich shocked them so much, that they actually thought, that Shadow Pony had somehow corrupted her. Faust then told them something, that not even her angels could deny, and that was Faust was the goddess of all creation, and she couldn't be corrupted even if she wanted to.

Shadow Pony sometimes, sometimes, misses being in his angelic form. Being with the other pony-angels, serving their goddess. They had long white wings with horns, but the only royalty they were, was being the angels of a goddess. Celestia was an alicorn tho, she didn't know much about life after death, her sister tho, princess Luna know's more than she actually thought. The night is associated with darkness, sometimes not alway's. Luna had studied some dark magic that even Shadow Pony saw them dark, not that he cared much and would tell any creature, or pony to just go for it.

Shadow Pony's wings had been cut of by himself, because he wanted to show Faust, that he wasn't an angel anymore. He was angered tho, when Faust asked him if he wanted wings again. She had asked him this, after he was lost in thought about if it was a good idea to have cut of his wings. He had shown absolute hatred, but Faust wasn't nerved by this, in fact being the goddess she is, she could see all possible responses and futures, so she wasn't surprised by anything, really.

Shadow Pony had said that, he didn't need her "pathetic" help at all, and to just leave him alone. Faust didn't look saddened by this, but obliged with his wishes. She left him alone to his thought's and went back to heaven. The other angels were angered by what he had said to their goddess. Faust had silenced them and told them that they would have done the exact same thing if they were in his hooves. They went quiet after that, because it was actually only Shadow Pony and Faust that had access to different dimensions. Faust obviously, because she is the goddess of all creation, and Shadow Pony.........

Shadow Pony suddenly was lost. Why did he have access to different dimensions? Was there something he was suppose to learn? Did he miss something? Shadow Pony was now really, really lost. All of a sudden there was a flash of light, and it hovered near Shadow Pony floating above the red carpet. Shadow Pony knew immidiently how it was.

"The goddess of all creations, what a pleasant surprise. What are you doing here? And when I mean here I mean in front of me at all? Come to humiliate me?" Shadow Pony asked, with a scowl of anger.

"Shadow Pony, I hear they call you. I wanted to check up on you, to make sure you were alright. You have been hurting as of late. You're brothers and sisters are really worried about you." Faust said, with a motherly tone.

Shadow Pony laughed with absolute genuine laughter. They? Worried about him!? That was such nonsense that Shadow Pony was losing what was nonsense.

"Sorry, wich dimension are you from? I think I have missed one dimension if my brothers or sisters are 'worried' about me. They are worried that I'll start the next rebellion most likely." Shadow Pony said with malice.

"I understand how you feel. You still hurt because of the betrayal, but you also know that you betrayed everyone, including me, but I was never angry at you Lucifer. Yes, I said it, you can never run away from you're past. You have made you're self into a demon like pony, but what I see is a hurt son." Faust explained.

Cloudsdale, or what's left of it.

Cloudsdale had been invaded by ponies and gryphons, that were covered in some sort of black ooze. The ponies that were covered were given wings and horns while Pegasus ponies, got horns, and unicorns got wings. The gryphons were given deadlier weapons that would make Celestia and Luna shudder.

The ponies of Cloudsdale were lead in a hell march like formation. They were lead to Shadowia? Spitfire and the other wonderbolts had either been severely hurt or been executed. Lightning Dust had been executed because one pony said, he felt like it. That had scarred the young fillies and colts, hiding behind their parents for cover, while their parents protected them.

One of the ooze alicorn ponies released some of her ooze, wich then went of the citizens of cloudsdale and corrupted them, and the young ones. They were all given horns and immense power.

They flew back to Shadowia, and introduced them to their "lovely" society. They all had an apartment, and because of the fall of Cloudsdale, it made Cloudsdale now apart of Shadowia, but because of the corruption in their brains, they couldn't know whether it was bad or not.

"WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE YOU FILT!!???!! YOU DIDN'T CARE BEFORE, SO WHY WOULD YOU EVEN BOTHER TO CARE NOW?" Shadow Pony shouted, in absolute hatred and anger towards his, creator or "mother" as some would call it.

"You are my son, I care about you no matter what you do. I of course don't approve of you're version of 'fun' but you're still my son." Faust said, calmly and sadly.

Shadow Pony looked at the white orb sorrowfully and looked quickly away from the orb.

"Sorry." Shadow Pony said, with genuine sadness.

"It's alright my son. Please spare the innocent ponies and gryphons, and other creatures." Faust said, with her mother tone again.

"As long as you accept them in the after life in heaven." Shadow Pony said, with a hint of annoyance.

The orb was there for a few more seconds, then it disappeared into thin air. And Shadow Pony was alone once more.
