Author's Note

Hey guys, this is a test chapter. I put in the main concept and would like to hear your opinion. I’ll then think about continuing it or not

(Prologue)

(Prologue)

Equestria, A nation known for Harmony and friendship. A beacon of hope, prosperity and freedom to the outside world. Over 1000 years of peace, a true golden age.

Soon to come to an end.

Equestria has made many enemies, both from the past and present. Shattering their beacon of hope to the outside world and leaving them vulnerable for vultures.

At the start, Nightmare Moon kidnapped Princess Celestia, leaving the world still for one night. It took several meetings with negotiations from other countries to understand the full length of the story.

Other than that, everything started going back to normal. Some would even say a new age had started with Princess Luna now in the mix. What they didn’t realize is that this was only in the beginning.

Next came discord, he was quite the handsome devil, if I do say so myself. He brought Chaos to Canterlot, the main jewel of Equestria! And some small town beside it.

The only damage he severely caused, was a prank messaging to other nations which caused another hundred problems for the dual sisters.

It was another unexpected hit to Equestria but they slowly recovered from it. They even had a royal wedding. Such incidences are quite rare in Equestria, the last one having been over 1000 years ago.

Unfortunately the wedding turned out to be a huge disaster, for both the short run and the long run.

Chrysalis attacked with an army of changelings at her side. Disguising herself as Cadence, the princess of love. The army of changelings showed the huge military weakness of Equestria, but in the end they too were defeated.

Unfortunately even though the changelings were defeated in combat, with the power of love. The newly formed Griffin Empire has shown the first signs of aggression that hasn’t been seen since the last pony-Griffin war. What’s worse is that their allies are not coming to their Defence.

Days later the Crystal Empire reappeared after 1000 years. Along with it, King Sombra the tyrant ruler. Eventually he was defeated and the Crystal Empire was under the hoof of princess cadence.

Immediately other nations began to protest. Too many of their allies believed this was an act to increased Equestrians power. Not to mention the thousand year difference for the border disputes. Several kingdoms began to protest about the border line for the Crystal Empire, and a lot of negotiations had to be made.

Still Equestria Survives.

That brings us to today upon the full moon. Equestria is waiting for its next big disaster, and some pony’s begin to make bets.

Unfortunately for them, they would've never guessed what it could’ve been.

“What the…”

…

“Why isn’t this working?...”

…

“What did you do, you Freakshow!...”

…

“Awaken!”

My eyes shot open. I spring to my feet looking for the sound of the voice. It was dark around me and I couldn’t see much. I took a step- “Shi-“ was all I could get out before my foot slipped over the edge.

My arm thankfully cushioned my fall but I still had the air knocked completely out of me. I decided to stay there and relax slowly getting my bearings. I expected to hear a voice... but there was nothing.

So I laid there for what seemed like minutes… maybe an hour… I don’t know…

….

….

….

‘I don’t know much of anything… not even my name… I know I’m a male adult human… but I don’t think there’s much else…’

I begin to worry slowly. I made my way up and tried again to look around. Slowly my eyes adjusted to the dark and I realized what I fell off of. It was a pedestal, and there were several stone pieces laying about. There was writing on the pedestal... but I couldn’t make it out, it was a strange language… I didn’t know if that was because I didn’t know the language or if I was illiterate… perhaps a bit of both.

I began to stretch out my body which felt so sore. While I did that I tried to get a good look at myself, but there wasn’t much to see. I wore a black T-shirt with black pants and shoes. I didn’t know the material they were made of, besides the fact that some of the stone dust was still on them. I gave myself a quick wipe before looking around the area.

The more I looked around the more amazed I was. I seem to be in a garden of some sort. With a huge building off to the side. There were several similar pillars that had several different creatures on them. It puzzled me that mine didn’t have any… unless… no, that’s ridiculous… Right?

I really didn’t like my own question. I decided that maybe it was best if I leave.

I slowly walked around, trying to find my way out. And with a little bit of luck I saw in front of me a gate. I quickly made my way to it but to my horror it was locked. I looked at the wall that was keeping me in here and it seem to be a bunch of plants Attached to a wooden fence

I walked over to the wall and tested out the plants. They seemed pretty durable and strong, so I began to use them to climb.

I hopped over to the other side, nearly falling on my ass while doing so. I quickly looked around and I believed I seemed to be in some sort of city. It’s designs were nothing I could really recognize or remember. They kind of looked old yet new at the exact same time.

I stood there for a little bit taking in the view not really paying attention. Eventually I noticed one of the glasses on the building and I could see a bit of my reflection. As I moved closer, I noticed two glowing yellow eyes. I don’t remember my eyes being yellow...

*clink* *clink*

I heard sounds coming to my right. I had no idea Who or What I was going to face. I definitely did not expect what I saw.

The first thing I noticed was the golden armour and weapons such as spears and sword. But when I looked at the heads of them they weren’t human at all… instead it looks to be a mix between a human and a horse.

Three heavily armoured horse-people stood in front of me, and I think they were a few in the back. They all look pretty similar with a white coat and blue mane. As I slowly looked down I noticed they didn’t have feet like me, but instead hooves.

“GET HIM” said the middle one bringing my attention to him. Only now did I notice that he had one different thing. A glowing blue horn.

I felt my own body react Instantly. My body twisted my shoulders, turning me around, spinning me out of the projectile blue beam.

I was nearly thrown to the side while spinning, an action I’m sure I didn’t make myself. Slowly I got back my footing and looked at the group. Only to see the two beside the middle one charge at me with sharp spears. And if it wasn’t enough, two I didn’t see in the back, jumped up and extended fucking wings. Then they flew at me with swords.

“RUN!”

I heard the voice again, and I didn’t need to be told twice. I booked it down a random street not caring where I was going to go as long as I was away from them.

Began the chase. I quickly ran down the street looking for anything that could help me. Slowly I could hear the sounds of them gaining on me, as I could feel the heartbeat in my chest. I noticed what looked to be a wooden stall of some sort that had an umbrella on top of it. It was coming directly in my running path and I saw no other options.

As I can almost hear them down my neck. I reached for my target. My hand extended outward, grabbing the wooden stick of the umbrella, and swung it down behind me. Bringing the entire stall down with it. I had to quickly move out of the way, but I think my endeavours worked as I didn’t hear them running at me anymore, but the wings pursued.

I continue to run hearing orders behind me, beginning the Chase again, and ending my short victory.

I noticed an alleyway to the left of me and I decided to take it. Slowly I ran over to it before ducking inside. I hugged myself against the wall as tight as I could, and with luck, they flew right over me and the corner of the building. Trying to cut me off.

I quickly booked it the opposite way back onto the main street where I noticed the middle horn one again. He had his two regular friends with him as they noticed me juke the flying ones.

“Flyers, he's back over here!” he called out. Before I could say anything he blasted several more beams at me.

I continued to run dodging his attacks and ran into an alleyway on the right side and kept going.

I continued to run down the long alleyway and hesitantly I looked back. To my relief it only seemed to be the horned one chasing me. I didn’t really understand as the other ones were faster than him, but I will shut up with my thoughts as he shot more beams at me.

Eventually I made my way out of the alleyway only to notice a horrifying revelation. As I made it to the end of the alleyway I noticed a cement fence wall. It only seemed to go up to my waist, I thought I could just hop down easily, to the next level but when I looked down… I noticed the city was built on a mountain, and I was looking very far down.

Somewhere to the right there was a waterfall that was going down the city all the way below and made a little river. I looked over to the left and to my shock I noticed more mountains and even a pathway. I think if I kept going down the street I would’ve made it to the pathway.

Unfortunately for me my view was blocked when the Wings came. They swooped in blocking my view of the mountains in the pathway leading me to freedom. I heard the sounds of running behind me, as I turned around I noticed the regular ones flanked me on my right. finally the horn one came out of the alleyway completely surrounding me.

I felt my back pressed up against the edge, I felt something in my throat. They slowly made their way closer.

“Give up Discord! You cannot win!” The horned one shouted at me.

I looked at them confused, I don’t think am this discord. And I certainly wouldn’t do anything wrong... would I? “I’m sorry I don’t-“ suddenly all of them laughed.

“A talking human that’s rich!” I looked around for the voice but I didn’t see who said it

Again the horned one looked at me seriously. “Disguising yourself as a talking human isn’t the best course of action, Discord.”

I looked at them again confused as to what they were saying, but I knew I had to make a decision.

I noticed the horned one ready his sword and a blue glow emanating around it and his horn. I had a feeling it was all or nothing now. He came at me swinging. Ready to decapitate me.

Again I felt my body move on its own. I felt myself lean back over the edge! I kept it going, launching my feet up. To my surprise my legs caught his arm. My hands gripped the cement fence as I flung him over me and off of the edge.

I felt my feet hit the wall as my right arm extended and caught The horned one’s sword. I noticed one of the wing ones leaping off of the edge and going after his fallen comrade.

Before they had a chance to react, I boosted myself back over the wall. Just in time to clash with a sword. The other winged one launched himself towards me ready to strike me down after his leader.

Unfortunately for him I gained a boost of strength, as our blades clashed off of each other, I gave him a kick to his gut that sent him flying into one of the buildings. His back gave an unpleasant crunch as he slammed into the building, leading cracks behind.

Unfortunately for me I forgot about the two regular ones, and instantly felt a spear being stabbed into my back. Before I could register what happened, I felt another punch to the back of my head, launching me off of the spear and down further the pathway of the edge.

My body flipped and twisted in ways it wasn’t supposed to. Finally I crashed to the ground.

The pain was immeasurable and I’m pretty sure I’m scraped in multiple places. Not to mention the spear that entered my lower back.

Slowly I got up, little by little as the pain slowly went away. I could hear them coming down the pathway.

“Did we really hit Discord.” I heard one of them say.

At this point I was pissed. I didn’t even get a chance to explain myself or understand what’s going on. But I was going to make them “Pay!”

Instantly I turned around and swung my sword like an ark. To my surprise something happened. I seemed to make another blade out of the air as it rushed towards them. One managed to duck in time but the other was swiftly cut in half from the chest.

Before I could realize what I did... I extended my blade to the one that was alive… he rushed towards me from a force other than his own... Being caught off balance, he had no time to react to the sword being plunged into his heart…

Slowly my anger faded…. I was breathing heavily, his lifeless eyes still staring into me with shock… slowly he slid off the blade and as I realized what I’ve done…

I killed these two… they’re dead…

I felt my hand let go of the sword. It clung to the ground, but for some reason that wasn’t what I was focussed on. I felt a presence near me, stronger than I could ever imagine. I looked to my right and I noticed another alleyway with only one occupant. It had to be one of the tallest horse-people things he had seen. It was white like all the rest, yet there was something different. For example, I think she was female. Ingesting to the assets on her chest I could safely agree.

Unfortunately her face is what frightens me. She wasn’t looking at me, but rather the body that was laying on the ground. She didn’t have a look of anger, only sadness. Until she turned to me.

I could see the fury and tears in her eyes, as I saw her horn glowing gold and her wings extend. I didn’t have time to register what happened next. I only saw a flashing light before being knocked unconscious.

———————————-

I am Princess Celestia, Ruler of the Sun.

And I am more terrified than I have ever been. I have lived for a long time. I have built this nation from the ground up. And now I can lose it all. At first I didn’t mind, but the past kept coming back. One disaster happens after another, with barely any time to have a break. It would be find if the Griffith empire with layoff a bit. Unfortunately every day I see the coming storm of war. And no matter how many times I strike my enemies down, or get another to do it for me… they always seem to come back.

I was ready to go to bed, having been kept up with the nobles for selfish reasons. They wouldn’t stop bothering me and complaining. Thankfully they got the hint, and moved on.

But now...

(Kaboom!!!)

I have to deal with a new ‘friend‘...

It sounded like it came from the garden. I quickly teleported over.

As I came out of the teleportation I noticed that I was in the middle of ‘statue’ sector. I prayed that it wasn’t discord, and hoped it was one of the smaller easier creatures in the garden. It took her a little bit searching through the hundreds of monsters but eventually she found the one she was looking for.

It was dark but she could still see it from a distance and it got up slowly… then collapsed to the ground… I blinked, wondering what creature it was and I tried to recall one being a klutz.

I slowly made my way over but the creature got up and I noticed it was a human. It’s completely complex me as it looked around curiously. I Never fought a powerful human monster before.

My mind wandered off to those creatures and how wild they could be. But they weren’t any threat that she would consider putting them into stone. She continued to think and ponder what she could’ve captured that looked like a human. But before she knew it the creature vanished without her noticing.

“Wow... maybe I am getting a little bit rusty… I think I need to go to the gym…” I said displeased.

The creature really put me at odds but I realized I could’ve just looked at the pedestal. Although I felt something odd clump in my throat. As I made my way to the pedestal I realized it was in a very similar position to….

(Discord)

Immediately I sprung into action first casting a spell to try to locate discord and A spell letting every single one of my royal guards know about the disguised human.

I talked everything into high gear making sure that Canterlot was going back under lockdown.

I quickly got to the vault to grab One Best equipment. A Sun Orb that allows me to use my abilities even without the Sun. Inside a magic crystal ball lays a small sun.

I wouldn’t sit back this time.

After teleporting back to the garden I spread my wings and took off following the orders of my guards about the location of Discord.

The last thing I heard was that a squad had pinned him down and they needed reinforcements.

As I flew over to the edge of the city I noticed him through an alleyway and smirked. ‘This time I won’t stand on the sidelines.’ I thought to myself as I landed in the alleyway, As I looked up I noticed a horrifying sight.

A single Royal guard was impaled by discord with a royal guard sword. I don’t remember what happened much afterwards but I do remember feeling my Sun’s rage. My horn was engulfed in a golden light as I launched it at discord. The pathway was scorched along the ground and wall... and hopefully him along with it…

————————————

The night was still not over. Honestly it has only begun. Following the waterfall down to the river, from Canterlot all the way down to ponyville and the Everfree forest. But somewhere in between the story begins.

A hand pulled itself from the river, to grasp the land. Then came a second hand until it hoisted itself out of the river revealing itself to be the human.

The human laid there unmoving. Resting from the cold shock of the water and the burning cessation of the sun. His clothes had been torn and are almost unusable.

He laid there, breathing slowly in and out.

Then came the laughter. The human let out a small chuckle which turned into an insane laughter. he said as he opened his eyes. No longer were they the yellow irises that looked around curiously. Instead they were a dark brown, mischievous look. “That was quite a test run!” As he said this he pushed himself backed up onto his feet.

“Test Run!” He shook his head as his eyes went from the dark brown irises to a sickening green. “This wasn’t part of the plan!” He hissed. ”My hive is waiting for me. And I’m not too thrilled to see our love storages! He looked down only to see the fate of his clothes.

“I’m surprised you didn’t burn off.” he said to the clothes. Suddenly a green flame washed over his body as he reacted emotionless. Once the flames died down the clothes were completely repaired.

he shook his head again and the Green irises were replaced with Red calculated ones.

“Whatever the case may be.” He said it cold and calculated. “We need to reach shelter, if Celestia comes back after us will die in this form.” He proceeded to walk towards the tree line, deciding not to go towards a nearby town.

Suddenly with a blink, the eyes went back to Green.

“I don’t see what’s so wrong with that.” They hissed. “I would be free, and not trapped with you Sombra…” They said with venom.

The eyes instantly turned Red again.

“I DEMAND YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!”He screeched. “If it wasn’t for the fact I would be dead without This Form! I would’ve let us die! With the soldiers!”

“Hey!” The brown irises cut in. “You didn’t do all the work! I was the one that threw the guard off Canterlot!”

“Yes... I’m sure the Pegasus that flew after him won’t save his life…” The green irises sarcastically said.

“At least I did something Chrissy. You were just too dumbfounded to realize what was happening” Shot back the brown irises.

“ARE YOU IGNORING ME!!!” Cut in the Red irises

“ENOUGH!” Said a pair of Blue irises... finally the irises turned back to yellow, before the body went numb, and collapsed.

————————————

Inside the dark void of the body, 4 god-like beings bickered amongst themselves.

Discord the Spirit of Chaos. Was currently lying down on the ground, rubbing his aching body.

Queen Chrysalis of the Changeling Hive. was also currently laying down on the ground, trying to relax from pain.

King Sombra of the Crystal Empire. Was the last one laying on the ground rubbing his temples.

Nightmare Moon Stood Above Them All. She was looking down at them annoyed and disappointed.
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/1c47076a-a578-41f9-9152-83fe4f15a25f/d8xhxep-ce69962f-9a19-46bd-b488-c82d51103ac5.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvMWM0NzA3NmEtYTU3OC00MWY5LTkxNTItODNmZTRmMTVhMjVmXC9kOHhoeGVwLWNlNjk5NjJmLTlhMTktNDZiZC1iNDg4LWM4MmQ1MTEwM2FjNS5qcGcifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.SufJCDnNCRp_lWQvF9nElCYdoF7asSGi6wD7UTjvCMM

“What did you do!” Sombra tried to say through the pain.

“Simple.” said Nightmare Moon. “You are feeling the pain of our host. Surviving a very powerful attack from Celestia, and landing in a river that’s 1000 feet above is not an easy task to survive. It should be downright impossible. Yet you fight when it’s obvious that our host needs attention to his body. Do you know what happens if he dies?”

“Oh! Pick me! Pick me!” Discord said while raising his hand. Before anyone could say anything, he stood back up and began to speak. “You and Sombra would die!” He said oddly cherry. “Since your physical bodies no longer exist, you’ll be cast straight back into the darkness of death where we found you.” He said while giving a one arm hug to Chrysalis who growled. “Me and Chrysalis on the other hand will be fine.”

“Are you sure about that?” Nightmare moon said sinisterly.

Discord looked at the nightmare moon confused before shoving chrysalis away. “What do you mean?” He asked.

Nightmare moon chuckled as she walked toward soon. “Isn’t it obvious… When you came up with this plan, you had no idea what was gonna happen. Right?” She said with her sinister smirk.

Discord scuffed. “I had some idea of what I was getting into. I had predicted five different outcomes. Either we would turn into a completely new being, or one of us would take control. I had no idea a human could get involved, especially an intelligent human at that. Unfortunately I don’t see how this has to do with anything.” He said, smirking at her.

Nightmare Moon’s only response was chuckling even more. “Don’t you see?” she said mockingly. “You don’t even realize the power of the spell we cast. Two dead Darkborn users. A starving queen and her hive. And a spirit of chaos. We all know we went along with it, because we have nothing. But unfortunately for you Discord you were the only one to lose your physical form.”

Discord gave her a stern look. “I don’t-“

“Your statue is in pieces.” She said, interrupting him. “If our host were to die, who’s to say you would even have a chance of coming back to life. You might be already dead.”

Discord thought back to his statue, and how when he was looking through the eyes of the human. He could still see bits and pieces of his remains. It could be possible that he’s fine, but he really didn’t feel like taking the chance now.

Seeing Discord's silent, Nightmare Moon looked over to Chrysalis. “Unlike everypony else, you are the only one that would survive. But do you think your hive has a chance to survive without our power with it.”

Chrysalis was about to respond, but stayed silent. As much as she wanted to, she couldn’t risk the chance to save her hive. Not after all she has failed to do.

“What are you getting at.” interrupted Sombra. The two darkborn users stared off at each other.

“I’m simply pointing out that you three, have no idea what you are doing.” She said, earning glares from the others. She only laughed at their response and continued. “None of you have experience possessing another person. While we all have the skills and power to become gods. It will be all for nothing if we waste our host and three of us die.”

“What do you plan on doing then?” interrupted Discord.

Nightmare Moon looked at all of them and smirked. “You leave that to me to talk to… Our Human.”
