MLP:FiM; Turn back time
Broken Time
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt's been a few months since the barrier broke and the Thestrals were outside it the entire time so they settled in Ponyville to help out. With another alicorn who the two sisters were shocked at seeing as they had thought she had perished. “Stella?” Celestia asked
“Is that you little sis?” Luna asked with the now named Stella smiling and nodding with the two suddenly tackling her to the ground. Maroon felt off and had been quite distant without meaning to be.
“How are you doing, my Roon?” Fluttershy asked while looking at her lover.
Maroon was lost in thought when the magic called them somewhere off to the North East. They gathered the girls and asked “Do you girls feel it too?”
“If yer talking about this strange pull then ah feel it” Applejack said.
“Same here darling” Rarity said
“Its telling me something is happening around a desert with how dry the air feels” Rainbow said
“Nothing feels funny about this” Pinkie said as if she was doing an impression of her sister Maud.
“Alright how about we head over to check it out?” Maroon suggested,
The rest nod and on the way out they find Midnight already there looking around by being a shadow so they walk over and into the town to draw the attention away from her before she gets spotted.
The town that was in an equal shape and all houses were the same color which was odd enough. They end up learning about Starlight Glimmer while meeting the mare. “Oh I didn’t expect any new guests to arrive. My name is Starlight Glimmer and I welcome you to our little town.”
All of the girls were genuinely worried about what’s going on in the town as it looked like the ponies were missing something but they couldn't tell what. Maroon then noticed that all of the cutie marks were missing and that everypony is smiling a forced smile from what Pinkie said before they even made their way there. “The magic called us here because something is going on.” Maroon said, catching everypony’s attention.
“Oh is that so?” starlight said before leading them to a cave with Midnight following behind them.
At the far back of the cave there is a wall of cutie marks and in front of it is a stick. “This is the staff of sameness, it’s what allowed for this to happen. I’m sure you have noticed that all of our cutie marks are the same.” she said as she lifted the stick up into the air with her magic. She smiled before turning it to them and used her magic to start tearing off their marks. Then it stopped as Midnight revealed herself holding Starlight’s mark in her magic. “Wha- how, WHO ARE YOU!”
“That’s a neat trick but here’s a little lesson on dark magic.” Midnight said as she caused starlight pain by twisting the mark and having it bend in unnatural ways. “That spell is of soul magic a subsection to dark magic in its natural form, by removing the soul mark as they were once called, you're carving out a big chunk of the pony’s soul” she said walking up to her before destroying the vault of marks with everypony getting theirs back. “Think of what you're messing with next time before something like this happens again” Starlight ran away out of fear while Midnight let her mark fly back to her.
The girls walk over to Maroon who was hit the worst by the magic and Midnight used the same spell to heal Maroon’s soul allowing for her to wake up. She felt off and after helping the town get back on their hooves the seven left after a few days.
Maroon wanted to know if something was wrong with her so she made sure to ask Discord to check and keep the being at bay which all he did was knock it back out with what felt like an anvil falling through her and hitting something in there.
Maroon decided to move out of the Ponyville library and return it to Winter’s care but now that she is a princess she has been coming from the everfree forest a lot more often everypony is confused as to why but none have asked her yet. Till Fluttershy asked during a date in the Everfree Forest. “Say Maroon?”
“Hm? Yes, my Shy?” Maroon responded
“Why have you been coming out of the Everfree more often now? You're not leaving us are you?”
“No I’m not it’s just” Maroon sighed as she tried to find the words to explain her situation “yes I love the library but that’s not my home so I decided to move into the castle of the two sisters.” shocking Fluttershy before she thought about it and asked
“Did you talk about this with Celestia?”
“Yes, in fact she was the one to let me handle the castle. So I was going to fix it and modernize it but decided against it as it's part of our history so I’ve been hanging out in a tree castle that Everfree made that's actually close by. It feels a lot more like a home to me, like it’s actually my home but there’s a lot that is unexplained about it so I have to find what those are.” she said shocking Fluttershy
“Do you think if we get married I and my animal friends could move into the castle and live with you?” Fluttershy asked causing Maroon to smirk and say,
“Sure we can even start a family as well” with just the thought alone makes Maroon smile and causes Fluttershy to blush at the image of a happy family.
“I’d like that” Fluttershy said with a smile and Maroon nodded with her own and letting out a giggle.
After a few months, Maroon called all of her friends and the princesses to her new castle which actually shocked them at how well it looks. It was a single spired castle that had more rooms and a lot of space. She showed them the throne room and more “how did this appear? How did we not notice this, sisters?” Celestia said shocked,
“I have no clue how we missed this sister.” Luna said
“Most likely a concealment spell” Stella said “if you’re wondering how I know that is because Dark actually helped with counseling where I was keeping the thestrals to help keep them safe.”
Right then three figures emerged “you are correct stella this was my doing” Dark said shocking them.
“Again I thank you three for your help,” Maroon said with them smirking. Maroon shows them more of her castle to them and shows that there is space for all of them, hell all the residents of Ponyville could fit in this castle. Though it was impressive that Maroon got all this
“Why didn’t you use the old castle Luna and I were in?”
“Because it is deeply rooted in Equestria’s history. And with me being there it would not be considered a national monument.”
“I see,” Celestia said thoughtfully.
Everfree had come back after meeting another line of her descendants only to find that the apple orchard has rainbow apples so she walked up to one before being approached by Applejack. “Hey Everfree, it’s been a while since we saw you. How have you been?”
“I’ve been good though, why are the rainbow apples here? Is it that time of year already?” Everfree asked
“Ya mean them zap apples?” she asked confused
“Is that what they are called now?” Everfree asked while Applejack nodded “hmm how long does it take to get them all?”
“We can’t get them all in time sadly so we get as many as we can” Applejack said with Everfree shaking her head
“Here, focus on yourself for a bit after closing your eyes once you got a feeling for it push it to your hind hooves and buck the tree when I say” Everfree said with Applejack confused as she left so she closed her eyes and focused on herself only to feel a strange sensation coming from herself. It shocked her but she continued by putting it on her hind hooves. Everfree set up a bunch of baskets in order to help with what she was teaching Applejack and when she got back “now buck” was what Applejack heard and bucked with all her might only to hear something shake and multiple things falling so when she looked she saw that her one buck had traveled through the connected roots of the ordered along with the mushrooms connecting the entire orchard together.
“Did I do that?” Applejack asked astonished
“We as earth ponies are connected to the land itself while pegasi are connected to the weather and unicorns are connected to the world’s mana, you just need to find out how to use your own magic that has been and always will be inside you.” Everfree said shocking Applejack who looked behind her only to find that she in that single buck had cleared all the zap apples off the trees into the baskets that Everfree set up “and you cleared out all of the zap apples in one buck too on your first try. Great job for your first time, but how do you know they are coming?”
“Granny Smith is the reason as throughout her life she found how to tell when the zap apples come by the timberwolves howling and other factors.” Applejack said
“Sense you can tap into your own magic now, try to put a pulse throughout the ground. It's how I did it back then because I didn’t have timberwolves. So I made sure to send one out during the start of the season which would tell me where it was going to land so that my kids and I could get a head start on them.” she said shocking Applejack
“I’ll try it later now we have ta’ gather all the apples to make zap apple jam.” she said while swinging her foreleg.
“Have you tried making zap apple cider? It's the only thing Dark likes for some reason and he actually helped me with making two types of cyder from the two fruits back at my home.”
“Not yet but we can try to now that we have enough of ‘em. Really huh might have ta’ get the recipe and let trixie give it a shot.” Applejack said as she saw her friends come over with Light and Dark.
“Woah what happened to the zap apples?” Rainbow Dash said
“Is that what you call the rainbow apples now? Honestly that's a good name for them” Dark said,
“Yeah then again Fulmen malus was what we knew them as back then” Light said shocking the rest,
“Huh that’s interesting,” Maroon noted. “But how did Applejack clear the trees?”
“Oh Everfree taught her how to use her inner magic and told her to buck the tree” Pinkie said recounting what happened
“Woah is that how you got so fast Dark?” Rainbow asked
“Yeah in a way but i’m impressed that you managed to do the sonic rainboom without accessing your inner magic” Dark said causing Light and Nature to look shocked at Rainbow Dash “then again there's more to magic than you think.”
Rarity then asked “I thought that we unicorns are always using our inner magic when we call upon it, is that actually wrong?”
“Yes as your actually gathering the magic from the world around you to do those spells in fact that's what nature magic revolves around” Light said shocking them “crystal magic you add your emotions into the mix and boom now you can shape crystal but it only works if you have been crystalized like the ponies in the crystal empire.” shocking them further.
“Wait, is there another kind of magic out there?” Maroon asked which Dark nods
“It's unnatural and fights against the natural magic here and it's one that I was made from. Yes, I can use it but I choose not to because then I wont be better than the one who made me. We called it forbidden because of what it does to others if used.” he said, shocking the ones that didn't know as they made their way around the orchard to get the baskets and it worked out for them.
“How were you even made Dark?” Maroon asked “sorry if it’s a sensitive question…”
“Nah it's fine honestly it’s been a while since I even thought back that far” Dark said as they sat drinking some zap apple cider that became a huge hit for the Apple family as Fallen and Midnight walked up curious with their own mugs, wondering what they were talking about. “In fact we came in during the era of migration.” Dark said, causing them to look at him shocked.
“Wasn’t that over five thousand years ago?” Fluttershy asked,
‘It’s been that long?’ Dark thought confused as he had forgotten about time.
“Yep,” Everfree said, “I came from the south west with my tribe.”
“I came from the north with my band of sorcerers,” Light said “we made it to what is now Equestria first as we were the scouts for our respective parties.”
“I came from the east with the warrior nomad pegasi and the thiestral assassins. it took almost a few months for them to make the trip over the sea due to the clouds ever changing direction before they flew, not to mention the young needed time to grow during the flight and the elderly along with the wounded.” Dark reminisced when he first woke up after hatching. “it was a mountainous area going through the clouds where we were living, the Pegasi were on the clouds while the Thestrals were in the caves that are all over the mountain range which connect to one another but there was a lot of spite that had brewed between the two before I was even created. I was made in a cave by the alicorn killer before she killed her own kind, to be a weapon of destruction.” They gasp including Light and Everfree as they didnt know that last bit. “the leading general at the time decided to take half of the population and find somewhere else after a dispute with the leader and that general is the ancestor of the one you know as commander hurricane.”
“Really I wonder if i’m related to him as well then as there is a hand me down from a thousand years ago that has been in my family for a long time” Rainbow mused.
“Maybe yes, maybe no” Dark said “anyway I was made from two foals and a dragon egg. One from the thestrals and the other from the pegassi. After the spell was complete I hatched a few days later during an eclipse at the hour of twilight which is how I got my name.” he said giving a good laugh to the rest “when I got here there was more to it but basically many types of government tried to come in only to fall because of the ideals of the leaders… which include the counsel that was sealed away in a chest”
“Yeah that chest was found but not opened” Discord said as he appeared causing Dark and Lights eyes to widen “don’t worry they told Celestia about it who brought it to us and I hid it again” he continued with Dark and Light shocked that it was found.
“How was it found?” Everfree asked curious,
“Some archaeologists found it while digging out south east by the border with the badlands. They called Celestia who checked the enchantments and then brought it to us which Maroon here identified as the one you used on the counsel in your final battle while viewing the past.” Pinkie said without breathing but Dark got the gist of it and got confirmation from Everfree and Discord thet that was what happened.
“When the three of us met we didn't trust each other at all in fact we actually fought each other.” he said shocking them “though that’s how we found out we were on par with one another and the fight was actually fun” the other two nodded with a smile at that. “Though there were some insults that also came from that day” he laughed
“Yeah laugh it up feathered leather” Light said before saying “lets get what happened with Everfree and I out of the way before we go any further with your end.” he said with a grin. “Anyway it's a lot colder up north as you know but you don't understand how cold it gets… I was born during a famine and a very harsh blizzard that would have required all the Windigo’s to make which killed a majority of the unicorn race. Half of the remaining ponies wanted to find somewhere nicer to live so that we could find a way to survive.” shocking them as they didnt know that “the rest however, resorted to cannibalism and those were the ones who wanted to stay. So half of us who managed to not resort to it traveled south to find food with me going ahead to see if there was any. To this day I can’t feel the cold even when I was alive. I couldn’t and I have no clue what happened to the rest back there. As we made our way south we came across other unicorns who were faring better than we were. I told them what was going on with us and they gave me enough to help feed the ones who were hungry before I led the group to the villages. Thanks to being a scout I was able to go ahead in the harsh storms and always managed to find a nearby village willing to lend us some food before we continue on our way, never staying in the same place for long. Till I came here but what happened on your end Dark?”
“The reason we split is because of a civil war that happened between the pegasi and the thiestrals which ended up causing the civilians to be caught in the crossfire and nearly destroyed the homes that were made and it only got worse after a while with both sides losing their homes. That’s the reason we came here then with all of the thestrals and half of the pegasi.” he said shocking them “yeah not the best time to grow up as it was night vs day, feather vs leather when I showed up and stopped the war alone. I almost didn’t survive due to my dragon side but it intimidated them enough to stop. I don’t know what happened to the other half though.” every pony there was shocked “yeah not the first time it happened. Though the ones who don’t heed history are destined to repeat it.” he said before looking at Everfree “what about you?”
“We split up as where I was living is now where Unyasi is” she said shocking everyone “the zebra’s were invading our homes and that’s why only half of us ended up escaping by boat with my mother being one of the ones captured but she sent me onto a boat well after it left port, from what I remember from being a little foal. We didn’t get back in contact with the rest because of the major gap that was the ocean and it took a long time as we didnt know what to do with a boat at all so we let the waves take us wherever we were going only to end up in the badlands some months later. We traversed it till we got here where it was greener, trust me it was harsh. Now though I hold no hate for them I only have a few questions however” she said with her friends understanding that they were all on edge sense then and wanted to make sure that things would be better then they were. she thought about it for a bit “our past was dark and bleak but our future is bright and welcoming, could it be the opposite though?” shocking yet confusing the rest…
“Anyway” Dark said “let's get back to what we were talking about before that” with the rest nodding
“Where were we?” Light asked
“You were at when you first met?” Midnight said
“Thanks” he cleared his throat “remember what happened when we first met?” he asked
“Yeah but how did you get that hard of a head?” Light said as he rubbed a spot on the back of his head.
“It’s part of thiestral anatomy as we sleep upside down a lot so our internal clock is our wake up by falling to the ground though sometimes we are lucky and wake up before we hit the ground. However it makes for a good dive bomb attack.” Dark said laughing as Midnight said
“Hey Fallen, remember back when we were Celestia's students before Crimson’s shift and after he was introduced?” catching the others attention
“Which time?”
“The morning after our sleepover?”
“Oh yeah I do remember that… princess Celestia was in a lot of pain after that and you only fell from the chandelier if it was from the roof you would have broken her spine!” shocking them with Maroon asking,
“How hard is a thestral skull?” Midnight then had her head turn black before showcasing her own skull, scaring most except for Dark, Light and Everfree with the latter two looking disapprovingly at him.
“What?” he said while looking at his friends confused.
“A thestrals skull is really hard and I mean hard enough to crack crystal that a crystal pony had made for armor and Alicorns have the tough skin of a crystal pony along with the sturdy bones of an earth pony so yeah if I hit her head I would have broken her horn and crushed her entire head, and that was me at ten years old. fun fact: Thiestral's skulls become harder as we grow up” Midnight explained while showing off her skull and spooking the rest before she regrew everything that she tore off with whatever the black stuff was. “Yeah only those with dark blood can regenerate from our blood and bones” she said casually which caught a few ponies off guard. “Anyway, did Dark dive bomb you?”
“No I was actually blinded by something flashing right in front of me which caused me to dive to get to the ground and I ended up hitting Light as he was in a battle with Everfree and while I was blinded, I only relied on my hearing and magically connecting with the air to help me know where they were the entire time.” he said which caught the other two off guard
“No wonder you were dodging my attacks but why were you getting hit by Light’s magic?”
“I couldn’t sense it as I would have to be connected to the mana of the world to sense that.”
“Ah I accidentally blinded myself which forced me to use the mana sense in order to find you both but how did you know where I was at all times?” Light said to Everfree
“I could sense you through the ground… your heartbeat gave you away.”
“Oh huh” he said, lost in thought before asking “how did that fight start in the first place?” the other two blink before Dark said
“I have no clue because I was the last one to get there” with Everfree trying to remember only for it to be blank for a bit before a page of memories showed the reason why.
“It was because of the xenophobia that we had from our own races and that the other was unknown to us.” she said with the other two thinking about it before Dark said
“Though we learned more about each other through those fights which did help us down the line after the war started…” they thought about it as they fell into silence.
“Huh no wonder you had us fight each other while we were in Tartarus.” Midnight said with a fond look
“I was right that it would help you both grow in terms of all that as it helped for me and sometimes a fight is what we need to understand better about our lovers or friends.” he said which got them thinking about it.
“But what's this war that you mention?” Maroon asked but all he said was
“Oh that we will tell you that in time as we have been here for half the day so go get some food!” he said while bringing notice to the time before saying “we will help with teaching you what we know.” with a smile that gave all of the alive ones pause with him thinking ‘maybe we should spar with the princesses to see where they are on the combat scale, I’ll bring that up to the others after the rest leave’ after a while only Everfree and Light remained with him.
“What are you thinking about?” he asked with Dark stating
“It's almost time for the choice.” ominously with the others eyes getting wider before they look forward
“How much time do we have?”
“Not much as it will occur soon I don't know how soon though” Dark said somberly. As they made their way to their old homes to rest.
Maroon had learned a lot from Light in terms of magic and thanks to his friends and hers she managed to learn how to use the different pony races’ magic. She found the reason as to why she felt like she was able to use time magic so efficiently was because it was her destiny to be the alicorn of time not magic. She learned how to use time magic from them and it certainly helped her out as she had mastered the time zone bubble alone. She wast prepared for what came next…
Maroon had just gotten to her castle while Fluttershy was out with friends but Midnight and Fallen accompanied her into her castle only for them to split up which allowed Maroon to find Starlight sitting in a chair heading back in time to change the past she made it back to the double flair quake which was not where she wanted to be but knew it would be disastrous if this never happened as two of her friends would have died if not for the quake she failed the first few times being sent to different timelines that were not hers till she got back each time but when she finally brought starlight through the portal they landed in a barren wasteland with only one pony there sitting alone. “Dark?” Maroon asked with Starlight confused at who he was
“Maroon?”
“Yes it’s me i’ve been trying to stop the past from being changed”
“Yes and you have done a great job at that" his voice was dripping with sarcasm "but this is our future and I have already seen it so before Equestra becomes this you must reset everything and take your title as the alicorn of time.” he said shocking them,
“What even happened here?” Starlight asked, confused.
“Modayus the last orderling happened as the bound and her lover never made it past foalhood. All of Tartarus broke loose after Trixie became an Alicorn and Equestria was destroyed but in order to save you Discord erased himself and Modayus went with him.” shocking both of the ponies.
“Wait, the wells were not destroyed?”
“Sadly they weren't so the bond remained intact” Dark said while shaking his head but his eyes widen at that and look at her shocked “wait if your not from my timeline…” he started
“In my timeline we managed to find all of the wells and activated them which destroyed the tree and saved them from the barrier’s insanity” she said with him nodding and saying to Starlight,
“There are always consequences to your actions” the portal opened up and a few more events of fighting in the past and Starlight seeing more of her consequences and sure enough after going back to the past one last time Starlight came to her senses and out of rage showed why she was like this. It was because of losing a friend to someone you never knew.
“Friendships come and go but you’re not the only one to feel this way…” Maroon said confusing Starlight,
“What do you mean?” she asked
“What I mean is that my friend Fallen has a sister who thought that she abandoned her only to find out about the banishment and tried to find ways to bring her back only for her to be kicked out of the castle. She ran away and ended up in another world where she learned about her faults and became better. I would like to show you what I mean but the question remains, is it what you want?” Maroon said shocking Starlight as she extended her hoof out which was taken and starlight was pulled into a hug as the time portal opened up and sent them back to their original timeline.
“Hey Midnight do you by chance still have those gems that you got from the sirens?” Maroon asked
“Yeah I do, why?”
“I got a message earlier today that we have a death's door problem on sunrises side and I think it's the sirens.”
“Yeah got them right here and i was thinking that we could head over for a visit”
“I'm down for that,” Maroon said with a smile.
Maroon got the mirror out and put the book at the top of the machine and walked through to find their friends on the other side… “hey girls!” Maroon said and got a smile from them as well and midnight handed over the three red stones to Sunset.
“Who are these for?”
“These are for the dazzlings, don't worry I modified them with some help from a friend, instead of causing hate and pain they will cause the opposite to happen.” Midnight said “have them try it out at their usual place.” Maroon got caught up on what was going on only to say
“Urg why does this feel like it's happened before?”
“Maybe it has? Let us know through the book if you remember what it was.”
“Will do and have a good week everyone!” they wave back and after getting back is when it clicked “gabby gums! That’s why it was so familiar!” she said but noticed she was actually out of ink and knew it wouldn't be till tomorrow that they restocked. She sighed before using the last of the ink in the pen to write.
-hey just remembered what it was, it was gabby gums which means…. Darn out of ink!-
Was all she got through to say to them but it was confusing. Yet it gave them what they needed to know and got to the point when they asked,
-Who?-
She remembered that there was a drop of ink in her cup so she dipped the pen and wrote back.
-CMC-
And that was all she could write with the last drop hoping it helped.
The girls were walking over to learn more about the history of Equestria but they had a special guest coming to help tell the tale along with some new listeners. After a bit of walking along a trail to the homes of the three elementals. “Do you think we might hear about the war they keep mentioning?” Rainbow asked.
“Don’t know Dash but it's interesting to learn about what happened not to mention we get to train in those techniques though.” Applejack said as they came through the brush to see the amazing view of the place. They walked towards the statue and waited patiently or as patient as Pinkie could be. As they let their eyes wander around the scenery they hear the flapping of wings from above. As they look they see the celestial princesses. Maroon noticed that cadence, shining armor and Sombra are there as well which confused them. Maroon watched as Midnight trotted over to Cadence and did the sunshine dance before getting embarrassed. All of them gathered and were about to chat when the three appeared in front of the group who were all sitting around the statue’s base.
“Today you’re going to learn about the war with the Orderlings.” Dark said “the story is one we don't know the beginning of but our friend discord does” he continued before discord appeared out of confetti. “It might take a bit for me to tell this one but I feel better showing you what happened rather than telling it.” he said snapping, causing them to travel back in time while invisible.
The conflict began with the Chaosians who were minding their own business and going about their days when out of nowhere the Orderlings appeared at the edge of the city, at first they were nice but then there was bloodshed as the new creatures attacked with order magic while killing off any Chaosian they see as an extermination process. Discord miraculously survived the massacre and took it upon himself to warn the other creatures of the imminent danger posed by the Orderlings. The Orderlings mistakenly believed that without the Chaosians, the world would finally achieve balance. However, their actions had actually upset the balance in the first place, leading to a war in which all the races saw them as trying to take over so they came together to fight a common foe.
As the war ensued, the races united to combat the Orderlings and defend their world. Battles were fought, sacrifices were made, and lives were lost. The cost of the war was high, with Dark Flame ultimately being turned to stone and many other deaths occurring in the final battle. Some races even faced extinction, and the majority were left endangered after the war's conclusion.
In their relentless pursuit to defeat the Orderlings, Discord uncovered a revelation—a weakness or secret that could be exploited to bring an end to their reign. With Discord's plan in motion, the remaining fighters confronted Modayus, the last surviving Orderling, in a final climactic battle. The conflict pushed the races to their limits, testing their strength, resilience, and determination.
Ultimately, Discord’s efforts proved successful, and all but Modayus were eradicated as Modayus went into hiding for the time being promising that he would return. The war came to an end, but the toll it took was immense. Dark Flame’s transformation into stone served as a permanent reminder of the sacrifices made. The surviving races, mourning their fallen comrades, began the arduous process of rebuilding their societies. They vowed to honor the memories of those lost and to cherish the lessons learned from the war against the Orderlings.
Though scarred and endangered, the races emerged from the conflict with a newfound appreciation for unity and peace. The legacy of Twilight Eclipse, Crystal Phoenix, Everfree Forest, Discord, and the fallen Dark Flame would forever be etched in the history of their world—a testament to resilience, courage, and the enduring power of friendship.
Dark flame was put on a pedestal of marble while in his pose to defend the world by his friends who won't ever forget his sacrifice for the world.
As they were brought back to their original time before looking up at the statue behind them saddened by the risk and cost of his life. “How many were killed?” Stella asked worried,
“Combined the death count had been at 30,573,894 creatures in total there are now very few hives of changelings left even now but there had been up to 50 thousand hives all over the world and now the number is only single digits as there was only one hive left so light here helped out with it. The rest were luckier than that as there were more that were endangered for a few hundred years for the most part. Then my creator came and wiped out most of the alicorn population with only your parents surviving and a few others who are unknown. Along with the thousand years after that the changelings had to deal with their empress and more happened.” Dark said sadly, the rest of the listeners felt their jaws hit the floor and they looked at the statue that now has a new meaning behind it for them. ‘The will to sacrifice everything to save who you hold dear.’
The months drained on while Starlight was getting better though nothing new was coming till Midnight and Fallen were killed with Trixie as the being inside maroon used her body to do these things she then fought back against the orderling who caused them to teleport to different areas and caused havoc everywhere by accident while accidentally opening the chest that Discord hid which set the counsel free, they made it back but the counsel followed them. When the counsel showed up and tried to take back what's theirs, they were backed up by the alicorn killer Amitera. Discord almost sacrificed himself the originally planned way but maroon hit the orderling out of her body saying “when the elements were destroyed it caused the bond to snap. He’s no longer tethered by your existence so it would only be in vain!” She was free and she saw the damage that was done and saw the sky falling apart so she ran to the well facing obstacles along the way. She was nearly killed by the enemies with Discord taking the alicorn and the orderling out with him in a combined magic bomb causing purple, black, and golden blood to rain down on the land below and a blast that was going to destroy the planet. Maroon was under constant spell fire from the council which was hindering her in getting to the well the three blocked and killed five of the six and only one snuck past them and fought her over who would use the well. She was struck in the vital point of the gut but she got him back by ripping his head off which was the final blow before wobbling over to the edge and falling into the well close to death's door right as her last thoughts played ‘My friends, my family, I’m sorry I will make things right and for the better!’ she plopped in the well and a beam of light shot out of the ground to hit the hole in the sky on canterlot high’s side and everyone was confused at first but then it went white…
