Chapter 0 - The End of the old and the beginning of the new

"Grandma hurry up or we will be late for all the fun stuff." Her granddaughter Alice said as she tried to pull her beloved Grandmother out of the car, chuckling over her Grandchild's endless energy she remembered having herself back in the day.

"Please don't rush me too much, my little one, we have more than enough time. You will get to see it all in time my dear."
The old woman told her grandchild, a beautiful little girl well worth waiting for. She sometimes lost faith that she see the day her son would give her the next generation, yet patients and nagging finally had delivered.

As her son helped her out of the car without stressing the old woman's body to much, she wasn't quite so athletic in her twilight years...

They walked to the convention event place where there was a construction ongoing at the top of the building, but it was said on the news it was completely safe with with a full security inspection the day before the opening. Yet one must wonder why they housed a huge event like this in an unfinished complex, even if it was mainly the final touches and a replacement XXL window or three for better heating efficiency.

The old woman loved spending time with her granddaughter, the joys of a fulfilling life in one's final years. One should value the time left, with family and good final memories.
Her Granddaughter didn't know it, but this would be the last time they would have happy memories together. If not for the incident later that day, she would have passed on in her sleep 3 days after new years. But someone would change her natural fate for good before natural death could take her away.

They all watched her Granddaughters favorite cartoons together like Skylanders Academy and My Little Pony - Friendship is magic.
A finished series with 10 seasons and a few movies.
She herself enjoyed the TV series on DVD with her Grandchild Alice and even bought the movies.
It was well worth it to see the joy of her little Grand angel to watch the show and talk about the lessons and even the occasional plot holes in it.
Her Granddaughter truly was a smart one for her age.

After hours of fun for her Son and Granddaughter, the old woman looked forward to a well earned rest of her old spine.
She was a surprisingly fit old woman. She could even keep up with the little one as long she didn't have to crouch too much.

With the first day nearly at its end and only 3 hours before closing of the first of three events days would the old Grandmother buy a few Souvenirs for her family to remember her by.
After all, who know how long that old body of hers would continue to last?

"Hey mister Merchant, how much is that ring?"
The old woman in her twilight years heard a fellow visitor to the event haggle with a shady looking merchant. Apparently did the strange looking Merchant was selling rather impressive looking goods to the visitors of the event.

The man buying was interested in a ring that seemed to have a well detailed My Little Pony Equestrian flag on it printed. While she was still thinking this Merchant was someone she would not want to meet alone in a dark alley, she had to give him credit for his high value looking merchandise.

The old Grandmother sent her son and her little angel to buy some ice cream, while she would buy there Souvenirs for her family members here.

While the man before her paid and got his wares handed out, she searched her well stuffed purse for her spending money.
When she looked up, the man before her was already gone.
She must have really searched long for her purse money bag, since humans don't just puff out of existence...

The convention event was massive and the themes it had were kid friendly up to mature rated. That He-Man cosplayer sure had a well toned ass, to be young again and go for the hunt. But her Cougars hunt had ended unfortunately 10 years ago with the death of her libido.

Anyway…

The Merchant sure had it all.
From 'My Little Pony' officially sold merchandise to even fan made stuff from the youtube videos of a fluffy pony named Fluffle Puff.
There was a wide selection to choose from, so many things here to spend one's money. She might return tomorrow morning to buy more when her spine had a nights rest.

The merchant had to her surprise offered a three for one price deal after she had told him she would buy Souvenirs for her whole family.
The merchant was very kind to this old woman and her wish to sell her whole family his wares.

As long the old customer would allow for a group picture with each family member holding one piece of his sales in hand hugging one another
Would she just pay one of three items.

The old woman had to change her mind about this Merchant, he might look a bit of a oddball but had a heart of gold. What could he otherwise get from a family picture with his sales in hand from one of his customers in a wholesome family hug?

The sale was completed and paid, all that remained as to finish the contract in full, was the family event picture for the nice Merchantman.

She walked to her family and guided them to the Merchant and explained the deal.
The son was a bit skeptical watching the merchandise, but when the Merchant explained a bet he had with three of his colleagues to buy the winner of the group with the most family pictures next Friday night party bill, all suspicions were off the table. What could be wrong with a mutual agreed upon sale without any hooks?

The Merchant waited patiently for father and daughter to finish their ice cream, sharing the grandmother's one since she declined to eat hers.
It was adorable how the Merchant appreciated the wholesome scene.

The old Woman made some smalltalk while her family tried not to suffer too much from brain freeze. Even the Merchant had to laugh at the adorable faces Alice was making after her third brain freeze attack.

"Hey Ma, remember when you used to take me to the Movie theme park?" Her son asked and she remembered.

"Yes I do and you whine on every ride." She said and everyone including the Merchant laughed.

"So what should we do tomorrow first?" The old woman asked them as they looked around.

"I don't know, but how about we buy things for Alice tomorrow morning at full price?" At that the Merchant had a little mischief hiding smile.
The old woman was a lot slower than in her youth physically, but not mentally. She expected the Merchant to spike the prices for them or make a lot of sales, to make up for the lost profit from this sale.

One had to put food on the table after all.

I'm sure Alice would love that." She said as he hugged his Mother.
Alice might have agreed, but a fourth brain freeze just hit her at that moment. Absolutely adorable how this smart little girl was a slave to her urge to devour her beloved treat.

The Merchant seemed to get a bit more giddy when the father and daughter had finished their original ice cream and the little one was almost done with her grandmother's ice cream.

"Profitable day outside the competition with family pictures i hope?" The old woman asked as her son helped a woman pick up her change money after it had spilled out her fallen money purse.

"Yes, a very profitable day actually.
The 'My Little Pony - Friendship is magic' & other unrelated wares got sold off to a very satisfying pace.
You are unfortunately my only family I send off with my wares, so I have to step up my game to see my competition pay the Friday night party bill."

The old woman give him a smile and answered: "Don't worry, good people like you often are favorably supported by lady luck. Tomorrow you probably get a lot more for your best success sold off."

The Merchant had a pleased smile on him after hearing that.

She continued their conversation: "Do you have some more from
'My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic' or Skylanders Academy?" She asked him.

The Merchant as response ducking under the counter rummaging through a few boxes pulling out what looked like the dark Cynders figurine with a Collar out and an Applejack figurine with an adorable Cowboy hat on her head out.

Without much words did she buy them full price and put them away with the other already sold items in her now rather overfill purse.

One final thing she ask him for was if he have anything from wizard 101, she remember playing that game a while ago with her Grandchild Alice, but she quite since it was a fucking pay to win and pay to play game as she learned later.
One was a sin for gamers, two was just a crime she would not support against consumers...

Even the Merchant had an annoyed facial expression when she told him about it.

"Yeah I think i have one thing from it let me get it." He said as he reached under the counter again pulling out a card.

He placed it on the counter and sold it to her.

The old woman would have scoffed at herself buying that much on one day and planning to do so for the remaining other two days, but her family's joy was worth far more than that.

Her son and daughter had still been at helping the woman that lost her money to pick up all the change money others just ignored and walked around them. Extremely rude...

Everyone in the congregation of nerds on this event looked up when they noticed a creaking noise but no one couldn't tell where it was coming from so everyone kept walking, ignoring it.

After a few minutes her son & Alice were done helping the woman. To her son's surprise, did the woman take his daugher in a hug and guide them away from the Merchant. The Merchant visibly frowned as he see his chance of the day walking away.

The old woman excused herself to get her family for the promised group picture.
That was when everyone in the hall heard a loud noise and looked up.

A large piece of the construction was collapsing right over many of them.

The woman called out to her familie, telling them to move to safety, but screaming all around her drained out her voice as she ran towards them.

Alice was confused by the screaming of everyone around her before she looked up and with fear looked right before her father spotted it as well.
A XXL window was coming down directly for the three of them.

The old woman's body was old, but still rather fit and adrenaline allowed her to manage for one last time to perform as if she was young once more.
She shoved the unknown woman holding Alice and her son out of the way. They landed far enough on their butt to be out of harm's way.

She herself was crushed by the falling window.

To her family's surprise there was no human pancake under all the glass that had cracked into countless pieces but had not shattered to become fragmented ballistic death incarnated.

"Ma?!" The Merchant heard his lost chance to make a family one way trip to adventure yelling as loud as he could.
Three figures rush to the place a pancakes old woman remains should be.
But nothing but a glint of muted rainbow colors vanished where the corpse's remains should have been displaying a gross incident victim.

"Well, this was unexpected, I guess I will have to settle with one when I want to send three people.
I can't really say I am disappointed too much, well played Faust... well played indeed..."
The Merchant said before his stand started to disappear as if it had never been there in the first place.

"Wake up old one, it is time to start the game and rebirth, don't wait for anyone too long..."
A voice said in the no longer old woman's head.
When she began to get feeling back in her body, did it feel very strange and she was restricted by something while apparently in a warm liquid encased round box.

She opened her eyes but it was still dark and it felt like she was inside something hard yet slightly giving.

"I have to get out of here" she thought out loud even when no sound escaped her.
The woman tried to lift her head up but it was met with resistance from whatever she was encased in.

She started banging her head against it, but no matter what she did, it didn't crack open and rays of light would not shine through her prison.

She continued pushing with all her body might until her strength was exhausted. She give in to sleepiness and the slowly cooling water she was encased in forced her into a deep slumber.

A day or maybe a night later, hard to tell on the surface of the moon...

Two figures closed in on the stone that wasn't a stone. Both examined the object emanating dark magic. Both frowned when they feel parasitic dark magic running through it.
This dragon egg has not just been transported to the Moon with a huge magical effort, it has been denied to hatch and to prove itself.
Luna and Nightmare Moon both debated who would have been possible responsible for the corrupted of the unborn dragon hatchling inside this egg.

Whoever did it, had apparently strong enemies to manage to send it to the Moon out of reach of anyone on the planet. They would do for the hatchling what they could, before they sent it back. Linking their magic to the egg to guide its young soul as to prevent it to suffer the dark fate it most likely would suffer in the end.

Seven cycles of day and night and Nightmare Moon managed to purge most of the dark magic and did what never anyone attempted. Make a dark creature with dark magic that wasn't parasitic or aggressively feeding around its user's environment.

Luna in the meantime infuse her own and her sister's magic into the hatchling. It's magical core would instead of spreading dark magic, devour it without going for any other magical aspects.
Kind of working like a water filtering system leaving behind clean water, just for Mana.

They established a link between the unborn core and their own. This in turn would not just create an unbreakable bond between them, but would allow them to become one in mind if they ever wished to converse with one another.

On the 14 day/night did they heavily enchanted the egg to resist impact of any kind and protect the hatchling within for the next three days.

With a mighty alicorn strength supported *yeet* did they send the hatchling back to the planet's surface.
