Chapter 7 - In the shadows of a bright world

Canterlot, ~~Evil counsel~~ Pony first meeting.
Meeting starting in the Canterlot Catacombs.

Main Speaker Naysay with a stern expression:
"Did everypony read the reports?"

Everypony else in the meeting present gives a silent and uneasy nod.

Main Speaker a unicorn named Naysay:
"This is unacceptebel from many standpoints... Everypony else outside this chambers has done there job or paid dearly for failing us. For many Centuries we have guided Equestria from the shadows and put non-ponys in there place. We showed many misguided souls the way to cut ties with non-ponys outside businesses contacts and contracts.

Yet this might all become undone by one huge mistake from our misguided Princess.
How could one decision of her end in the failure for all we worked for?!"

Secondary speaker a bicorn named Crow Inkwell:
"Is this a bad joke? We might get way more non-ponys than we imaged in our worst bad dreams to set their Talons into Equestria, but they are low grade Citizens that will artificially create many opportunities for Celestias plan and our to work in everyponies favor!"

Main Speaker Naysay:
"How in the field of Elysium and the pits of Tarterus, did you turned this horseapples into anything but fertilizer?"

Second speaker Crow Inkwell:
"First of all, fertilizer is one of the most precious goods farmers can have. Work on your metaphorical remarks Naysay...
Secondly will the Griffons fill in many types of jobs many ponys avoid like the Nobility do with the Peasantry."

Many ponys start to murmer and giggle in content about that remark.

Second speaker Crow Inkwell continues:
"We have seriously understaffed City and Village Guards, as well do we need road patrols very badly for Centuries. Yet ponys are simply not made for that kind of grunt work.
The Griffons as predators will make excellent guards and soldiers.
They will be treated even by our most stubborn members of this council better than many are in Griffonia!"

Some ponies show how disgusted they are how Griffonia treated their own Citizens.

Crow Inkwell continues in his function of second speaker:
"Once the refugees from the Griffon main nation will settled they will celebrate our natural tendency to care for one another.
Further did our lowest paying jobs are almost twice as mutch as the one Griffonia pays their citizens."

Everypony in attendance shows pride in their basic guidelines.

Main Speaker Naysay:
"Let me guess, you want to use the Griffons for increasing our national security standards and probably get rid of our rodent problems in our City's and villages? It is also feasible that the increase in predators will helping us get the general ponys more aware of self defense and home security?"

Second Speaker Crow inkwell nods in affirmation:
"Exactly, that and more is what Griffons native to Equestria will give us. More importantly will we take the uneducated Griffons and educate them, that by itself will win us their gratitude and loyalty.
Once they take pride in being Equestrians, they do anything to protect us so they are cared for by us.

We have keep non ponies in check as long we could, but times are changing and so must we..."

Uncertainty rises in the ranks, yet everypony stay respectful and relatively silent.

Main speaker Naysay:
"As long Ponies stand first, this counsel will stand strong. We shall change from exterminating non-ponies to subjugating them."

Everypony give their agreement with many showing mischievous grins on their faces.

Second speaker Crow Inkwell end his speech with:
"Griffon Equestrians will be our newest lowest citizens, i plan to muster ponies out of servant jobs and armed travel routes patrolls. They will have dedicated jobs paying them better than Griffonia ever did, while keeping them low enough for ponies to be better off.
Further once our Alicorn Royalty will return as stated in our legends, will we work on building a Empire for ponykind to rule fairly above any other race.
Fair but under ponykind.
May Harmony guide us all."

Everpony reverently murmers the guiding phrase.

Before the meeting could come to a end did the main Speaker Naysay ended the meeting with:

"The subject that should not get 'lost' is that Griffons will not be allowed to join our Nobel ranks unless we have elevated everypony in attendance to 4th rank and made sure only 5th rank is ever granted non-ponys. The leadership in our hooves should never be allowed to get reached by any other race.

Yet we can't risk to grab any Alicorns attention. We survive because we have never existed in the public eye.
Keep it that way and we Nobel ponies will continue to truly rule Equestria, while the Alicorns might enjoy our success as figureheads.
After all: If we ever need a scape goat, who would be better beside non ponies or Celestia to take the fall..."

It had been a hole month since Celestia had her newest Stud Muffin and he sure did a number on her. She was pregnant...
Celestia was in tears...
Tears of joy for having her first foal growing inside her, but also dread because she had adopted young fillys from time to time, but never raised a foal from the very beginning.
Also what would happen once her sisters returned?

Her royal physician had warned her about her using magic at all do to her body naturally reroute a lot of her magic into her womb to make the foal grow strong and healthy, while protecting it with antic magic as old as their race was from illnesses and physical harm.

Yet while a certain prozentuale magic body capacity is used for the foals benefit, is anything beyond basic levitation highly restricted.
By nature and by doctors for the well being of the new foals growing within a mare.

The magician guild would have to lower and raise sun and moon for at least two years to come... in theory they prepare form the formation of Equestria to help Celestia doing it every second day instead of emergencys that had not happened for at least the last 1000 year or so.

Equestria was already celebrating the news of the solar Alicorns filly coming into their life's.
Many speculating if it would be a colt or a filly.
Would it be a sturdy earthpony?
Perhaps a magicaly gifted Unicorn or even Bicorn?
Per chance a Pegasus or a Thestral?
Some even dared to wish for a natural born Alicorn.

What ever the Filly or colt would be... unless it end up being twins?
This was the beginning of a new age.
Some suggested that the age of the Alicorns was to return! In 20 years did the legends stated the return of the royal family would take occurrence on Celestias 20.000 Solar Solstice.
To imagen the legendary Nightmare Moon and Luna would return, it was heavenly. The fields of Elysium shined down on ponykind.

In many non pony nation was the news of Equestrias Alicorn Princess being with foal was bringing dread to it enemies.
One Alicorn was already more troublesome than some opportunity driven nations could handle. With the old legends stating the return of two of Celestias sisters was the future grim for races like the Yetis that had it made their national treasures business to invade and plunder nations like the Abesinian Queendom or the Hypogriffons of Mountain Aris.

Was it so mutch to ask that the Storm Kings agents would be able to break the filthy neck of Celestias spawn once it is born?
How mutch would he love it to silence it forever himself.
He and his royal family had a already foolproof plan to execute their dominance over any other race.
All they needed was two missing pieces for their plan to get set into motion.

Their every civilian had military training.
Their mines had produced for over 2000 years anti magic stones.
Their stores were the largest in the known world!
Many ponies had been by his nation be acquired for experimental procedures to one day defeat them in a war.

His family already had managed to start the production of anti magic weapons and armor, while having found ways to re-direct what could not be canceled outright.

He would rule any sapient being one day. It was his right after generations had worked towards it.
He was the 'Storm King', he would rule them all one day... he would rule or see the world burn.

A few extraction teams in the different nations keep acquire materials, knowledge and artifacts of old, but they keep failing to get the last two pieces of their plan.

A antic magical staff named 'Staff of Sacanas' that was rumored to be once used to raise and lower sun & moon.
And the 'Alicorn amulet' that is rumored to give one individual the Alicorns immortality.
Namely to its wearing master.

Once they had both, would world domination just be a matter of time... he would not like his Ancestors or his parents wait patiently any longer, he alone would rule or set the world aflame for failing to bow to him.

They can't delay this glorious future to him indefinitly, but he would not wait for mutch longer.

He wasn't getting any younger and he would be out of his prime in 40 years.
20 years he would give his underlings time, if they don't get their shit together than heads would roll. Literally!

A Minatour lifting his left eyebrow displeased when he see a filthy dragon walking along ponies.
It's kind had ruined his family business because their family collection and business was
'what they love to eat the most'.
What a redicules reason to rob his family by literally eating it all... how dare they ruine generations of honest work and diligence of spending the money they earned.

He had come shamed from his nation to Equestria to start a new life. Equestria was a land of many races, but Dragonkind are not one of them.
That was why he chose to settle here.
Yet there she was...
A purple dragon hatchling walking alongside pony foals.
But not for long... at least fate provided with some justice after all.

His unfortunate rather worn down transportation wagon would unfortunately lose its breaks very soon.
He was uphill and the worn in chariot grooves in the ground would make it easy to aim the path his wood loaded wagon would follow.
Time to get a little bit of coping out of a roadkill with scales... it might make for a good scale handbag.

Many places in Equestria keep losing guard to retirement, when the guards started to lose ground versus criminal elements, did the future seem to become Grim.

When Griffons started to immigrate to Equestria did boh side be it justice or corruption found relieve in new blood. Most of the Griffons wanted a honest and honorable life. This strengthen Equestria guard security forces and the military overall.

Yet every basket has its foul eggs and some criminal organizations found new blood joining their ranks.
The whole system got a minor overhaul on both sides.

The good guys and the bad guys both have to adjust to sudden increase in population.
Many abandon City parts and hole Villages got suddenly new life to them.
This shifted many things in Celestias favor.
But in time would the shadows thrown from the light become deeper and darker... it seem to be a inavoidable cycle.

With new and old blood mixing did many bad elements started to failing recruiting forces when opportunities where given.
This would buy a certain group of ponies and non-ponies time to grow up and change the world forever.

If this would keep up would even the most skeptically ancestors celebrate their descendants accomplishments.

Bright Mac set Applejack & Big Macintosh from his back down next to the selling stand of his Apples. Than he placed the scaley daughter of his from under his hat near her siblings.
Bright Mac had bearly started to help his wife Butter Cup to sell all his Apples to the line of ponies in waiting to buy their produce.

Three Blackhoove agents watched the youngest three Apples to play in the streets in sight of their parents.

While they usually are all business, did the on shift working 24 Black Hoove agents dedicated to the security of the Apple family officaly and to Cynder security and observation did grow attached to their charges.
While unprofessional did noone really could blame them for enjoying their duty by observations of the innocent younglings to play and care for one another.

Unfortunately did in 7 out of 10 times was guard duty boring, 1 times it get usualy interrupted by something unimportant and only 2 times did it really was needed to be viligant to be on duty.
Today unfortunately was one times were slacking vigil was going to cause some creatures life to be ruined forever... while saving countless others as a result in the future.

Cynder the dragon hatchling had fun with playing with her sister Applejack the orange Earthpony filly and her brother Big Macintosh the red earthpony colt. She was of course keeping the younglings out of harms way where she could, while keeping them entertained.

Unfortunately did one could not be as vigilant as one needs to be all the time and it often only needed someone missing to pay attention in the wrong place, at the wrong time... when peaceful day become the norm, than tragically events hit all the harder.

When a wagon filled with wood was rolled deliberately towards herself and her siblings did only the shouted out warning of a pony that could not be seen due to very powerful magics used by spys and assassin give her warning that death on four wheels approached her.

When Cynder see the wagon coming for her did Applejack and Big Macintosh had been in pounce stance to one another. Her Guardians had tried to save the dragon welp by leaping away, but Cynder would not sacrefice her family for her own safety, she override their muscle control over her body.
Once more did it seem that she had to give her life for her beloved family.

So with a regret born out of longing for the times she would not have with her new family, did Cynder grabbed the foals with a tail and her mouth gums eatch and spin herself in place to use her strength to let both be catapulted to the sides.

Earthponys were redicules sturdy, even the foals.
But not a wagon full of wood tough.

When the fillys landed safely away from the coming death on four wheels did Cynder had no time left to safe herself.

Preparing for the last brutal moment in her life, did she closed her eyes with a tear of sadness for the pain her passing would bring the Apple family.

Three hours earlier

Granny Smith was collecting the three youngest apples on the farm in their shared room.
As expected did they enjoyed a free for all.
Cynder hat one of Big Mac's hindlegs in her mouth and tugging on it while Applejack had to endure a nuggy from her brother.

The three stopped when their Grandmother started laughing at their sight.
Shortly after did the aged mare lay down so the fillys could climb on her to get safely downstairs.

On her back was rising the future of Equestria, so thought the Apple Matriarch. How mutch she was right about it would she see over the last 33 years of her life.

Butter Cup called to her mother in law:
"Breakfast is ready, where are all the hungry mouths to make it dissappear?" She got her answer when three fillys on their mighty steed come to battle all the apple and non apple products that their breakfast was holding ready for them.

Butter Cup had also prepared a breakfast in the living room for the Blackhoove agents in the morning shift.
By the time the Apples had eaten theirs the food in the living room was consumed and either a thank you note had been on the table beside the stacked utensils or a collection of three roses without thorns.

As Bright Mac walked into the house coming from the livestock barn, due to having fed the pigs and other meat animals. He could smell the delicious food at the table, one of the reasons he loved waking every morning was the delicious company and their good enough breakfasts.

After Bright Mac had nuzzeld the house Matriarch a good morning and give his beloved mate a kiss 'hello i am back', did the family started to enjoy their breakfast together.

Granny Smith does look a lot younger than many Earthponys her age do to her still being active with farmlife, even with her applebucking and storing day long in the past.
Like 10 years or so...
This days she was sorting in the background produce and hooving the management. Further did she focus on making the best soft and hard cider their Apples could possibly produce.
Business was great as usual.

As to be expepted did Cynder had fun rescue Applejack and Big Macs food from their portions while sacreficing it to herself.
While she keep occationaly adding non herbivore food to them.

To the Apples surprise did the Fillys actually liked to eat it in small portions.
The dragon at least didn't try to sneak gems into their food. Apparently did the dragon welp know that they are only for her diat.

As to be expepted at this point did the younglings needed the occational reminder to stop playing at the food table.
So they could continue to play once food was off the table.

"Well looks like someone's awake we were worried about you." One of the Farm helpers said to Granny Smith.

The old Apple appreciated the younger generation missing her still well shaped flanks absence. So she at least told herself with some tittering.

Butter Cup started laughing when she looked at the Farm helping pony for what almost sounded like a slight flirt. Bright Mac appreciated the compliment her mother still get on occasion, even if he only see it as hollow gesture to compliment the old widow.

The Apples noticed him mentaly drooling after spotting Butter Cups made breakfast and offered him some. He enjoyed a Apple pie peace before informing Bright Mac about them having to check the sales wagon for wear and tear before loading it up.

Wiping some crums away did he give his offspring and his favorite dragon daughter a nuzzeld
'see you later' and went back with the Farm helper to the barn to check his wagon before loading it.

The Apples are still surprised how mutch the dragon welp could fit in her body.
It was like she was bigger on the inside with all that she eat over the day.
Her plate had always fish sticks and scrambled eggs with some gems on it just as Silver Tongue suggested as a ideal morning breakfast.

He could never explain how the welp could once he actually weight all Cynder was eating fit
3 times her body weight in food...
Noone could explain how it worked, but giving the little dragon more gems, did indeed sated her faster than any other food managed.

When Silver Tongue finally had arrived at the apples family house was only one hour left before they would go to the market to sell their products. Especially Granny Smith 'out of season' soft cider would be drawing attention today.

Silver Tongue enjoyed a improvised breakfast made by Granny Smith for him.
He had to stay well feeded and hydrated after all the duty he was performing for land and princess~♡
With a blush discoloring his head for some time did he indeed eat plenty.

Apple Matriarch Smith explained to the stud of the nation: "We are going to be expecting massiv company today near the stand, keep a eye out for the younglings if you could?"

Silver Tongue untangled the mass of Apple produce from his tongue and give affirmation to the old mare.
