The Void of the Abyss
Five Ancient Civilizations Arc-Chapter 1: Meeting Light Angel
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn someone’s empty kitchen there was a tray of chocolate chip cookies sitting on the counter. Suddenly, there was the sound of small hoofsteps before a chair started moving on its own as it was being pushed until it stopped in front of the cookie tray. Then, the culprit, Little Fraise, appeared as she climbed on top of the furniture, devouring the cookies with her eyes.
She gave off a sneaky grin. “Heh. Time for some cookies,” said the filly, reaching for a cookie.
Too bad for Little Fraise, the filly was caught before she could grab one as Corrosion Abyss had appeared, floating into the kitchen.
“Little Fraise. You can have a cookie after dinner,” the void creature informed amusingly.
Little Fraise’s hoof stopped in place, realizing that she was caught.
The filly turned to look at them. “Hey, daddy. I was just…” said Little Fraise, thinking up an excuse. “Um, I’m making sure that the cookies have cooled down?”
Corrosion Abyss chuckled. “Uh-huh? Now, go and wash your hooves,” said the void creature. “We’re having Vegetable Stew, Broccoli Casserole, and Cheesy Garlic Bread for dinner.”
She nodded before trotting over to the kitchen sink and washing her hooves. She then trotted to her table where the meal awaited her, the smell tackling her nostrils and making her drool in anticipation. It had only been a few weeks since she was created, and Corrosion Abyss had been hard at work teaching her basic necessities like math and safety tips, what he knew of the multiverse, and cooking as Little Fraise seemed interested in the subject.
“After we finish dinner, we’ll be practicing your magic, okay?” Corrosion Abyss informed.
The filly nodded. “Okay,” she said.
The filly was born with a special power thanks to the void creature. Apparently, Little Fraise’s abilities is that she can use some sort of void-based abilities, but they told the filly that if anyone else were to ask what it is, Little Fraise was to call it ‘Void Magic’ even though it’s not. The training is to help the filly master her abilities and not let them run wild by accident, and they’ve been at this for weeks.
Little Fraise looked up at the void creature with shimmering eyes. “Can we do it after we have the cookies?” she asked.
Corrosion Abyss nodded. “Of course,” they confirmed.
The little filly smiled. Then, the two continued eating dinner.
One Hour and Eighteen Minutes Later
There was an explosion as a boulder was destroyed, smashed into rubble.
The void creature was impressed. “Great job, Little Fraise. You’ve completely mastered your abilities now,” complimented Corrosion Abyss. “You even completed your training two minutes earlier than last time.”
The dust cloud over where Little Fraise was, settled, revealing the filly who was standing, proud of her work.
“Yay! That means we can finally travel to my first universe, daddy?!” asked Little Fraise, excited.
Before the training had begun, the void creature decided to make things interesting since the filly was close to mastering her abilities. He promised Little Fraise that if the filly can master her abilities and complete her training in less time than what the filly had completed it before, which was two minutes beaten of the one hour and ten minutes that it took last time, then Corrosion Abyss will take Little Fraise to travel to her first universe. Not only that, but in time, they’ll allow the filly to travel through the Multiverse by herself one day.
The void creature nodded. “Yeah, and you get to make the choice,” confirmed Corrosion Abyss.
Little Fraise cheered, excited for her first adventure. After some time cleaning up the mess and debris, the void creature had summoned out ten portals connected to random universes with his magic.
The filly looked among them before pointing at one that had caught her attention. “I want to go to this one!” announced Little Fraise.
The void creature looked at her choice. “Excellent choice, daughter,” he said.
Corrosion Abyss made the other nice portals disappear. Then, the void creature picked up the filly into their clawed hands, carrying her.
“You ready?” asked the void creature.
Little Fraise nodded, excitedly. “Yeah! Let’s go!” she exclaimed.
Corrosion Abyss smiled, and the two flew through the portal.
Meanwhile-On the Other Side of the Portal
A pegasus was reading a book in the park while eating a bag of chocolate cookies.
The book was about adventures, and she was currently in the middle of a story. The sunny pegasus brought the book down. “I wish I could go on an adventure too. I would definitely like to go to new places and make lots of new friends,” she said.
The sunny pegasus reached for another cookie, but then suddenly, a portal appeared, and out came the void creature and the filly, the two’s sudden appearance had spooked her, causing the sunny pegasus to drop her book.
He placed Little Fraise down onto the ground to allow the filly to trot around on her hooves. “We’ve arrived, daughter. What do you think of it?” asked Corrosion Abyss, wondering.
Little Fraise was silent as the filly was enjoying feeling the nice and relaxing breeze that was blowing around the park.
She smiled. “The breeze feels nice. Doesn’t it feel nice to you, dad?” asked the filly.
The void creature gave a fake smile. “Yeah. It is,” they answered, lying.
Corrosion Abyss couldn’t actually feel the breeze as he can’t feel anything physically, not even a hug. The void creature grew stuff to eat but couldn’t actually taste anything, get hungry, or feel full, and Corrosion Abyss also floated above a bed they didn’t need to use since they didn’t sleep. The void creature does the stuff anyway just to remember the sensations. The only thing Corrosion Abyss has are his emotions, but the void creature didn’t want to tell Little Fraise that and just wanted her to have fun.
The filly had finally noticed the sunny pegasus who was still there, and turned to look at her. “Hey, dad. There’s someone here,” Little Fraise informed.
Corrosion Abyss, hearing that, looked at the sunny pegasus too. “I see. She seems like a nice pony,” they commented.
She nodded, agreeing. “Yeah. Let’s go make friends with her, daddy,” offered the filly.
The void creature, seeing that she looked scared of the two, looked down at Little Fraise. “No, thanks. She looks scared of me,” said Corrosion Abyss. “Why don’t you go and introduce yourself? I’ll stay close-by in case something goes wrong.”
The filly nodded sadly, but then an idea came to mind. She smiled. “Okay. I’ll be right back, daddy,” said Little Fraise.
The filly trotted over to the sunny pegasus, ready to make a new friend. “Hello there. Sorry to scare you like that,” she said, apologizing. Little Fraise smiled. “It’s nice to meet you. My name is Little Fraise. What’s your name?”
The sunny pegasus calmed down a little. “My name is Light Angel,” she said. Light Angel then looked up to look at the void creature, scared.
The filly saw that the sunny pegasus was looking at her dad, and smiled. “Don’t worry about daddy. He’s nice and kind and wouldn’t hurt you or anyone else,” Little Fraise informed. “I promise.”
Luckily, Light Angel believed the filly and calmed down, but was on guard in case something went wrong. “If you say so,” she said.
Little Fraise turned around and waved Corrosion Abyss over. Seeing that the filly was waving at him to approach, the void creature floated over to the two.
Corrosion Abyss had arrived and had noticed that the sunny pegasus wasn’t afraid of the void creature anymore. “My name’s Corrosion Abyss, and I guess you’re not scared of us anymore, right?” they asked.
The sunny pegasus nodded. “Yeah. Your daughter told me there’s nothing to worry about,” she said. Light Angel came to a confusing realization. “Wait. She’s your daughter? How?”
“Well, you see, I created her from the void itself with my powers. It wasn’t easy, but I was able to succeed in the end, and Little Fraise was born as a result,” the void creature informed. He patted Little Fraise on the head, smiling. “She’s like a daughter to me and I’m glad she was born.”
The filly smiled up at the void creature. “And I’m happy that I was born, daddy,” she said.
Corrosion Abyss’ only response was to hug Little Fraise, who hugged right back.
The sunny pegasus smiled at the two’s interaction. “They really are like parent and child, even if they aren’t the same species,” thought Light Angel.
After they finished hugging the filly and placed her down, the void creature looked around at the park the three were in. “Can you tell us which city or town we ended up in?” asked Corrosion Abyss, wondering.
The sunny pegasus was happy to answer the question. “You’re in Ponyville, the town that has had more exciting things happen than any other place in Equestria, and I’m talking about monster attacks, evil villains coming to conquer the kingdom, etc. It’s pretty normal for that stuff to happen nowadays, but it’s still kind of scary,” she answered.
He nodded. The void creature inwardly agreed, seeing as how they have watched stuff like what Light Angel described happen in different Ponyvilles. “Ah. Thanks for letting us know where we are,” said Corrosion Abyss. “Also, I’m very sorry we scared you like that, so I want to make it up to you. How about we treat you to some lunch as an apology?”
Light Angel shook her head. “It’s okay. You and your daughter have already apologized to me, so there’s no reason to do that,” said the sunny pegasus.
The void creature wasn’t going to take no for an answer. “It’s really no big deal. I can spend money for food on a new friend,” they said. “Wait. We are friends, right?”
Light Angel nodded, smiling. “Yeah. Of course, we are,” said the sunny pegasus. Light Angel really did consider the two to be her friends despite only knowing them for a few minutes. “I love making new friends, so you two are now my friends.”
That made both Corrosion Abyss and Little Fraise smile.
“That’s great to hear that you think of us as friends, Ms…” said the void creature, trailing off.
The sunny pegasus understood that she hadn’t introduced her name to him yet. “Light Angel, and I know your name is Corrosion Abyss-” Light Angel looked down at the filly, smiling. “-because your daughter here told me-” She looked back up at Corrosion Abyss. “-and I have to say, your daughter has excellent manners,” complimented the sunny pegasus.
Little Fraise decided to say something, smirking. “Well, of course. Daddy told me that I have to show good manners when I meet others if I want to become friends with them, while those who are rude don’t deserve any good manners or my friendship,” she informed, proud.
Light Angel looked back down. She both agreed and disagreed with what the filly said. “True, but there are times when somepony is only rude when they’re in a bad mood because something bad might’ve happened to them recently. Like, maybe somepony they cared about had died, or they had a bad day?” explained the sunny pegasus.
She frowned. “Just because one is having a bad day doesn’t mean they have to be rude to others or make somepony else have a bad day either. They should just come out with what’s bothering them so that way, others can help and they can be happy,” said Little Fraise.
They decided to interrupt the conversation before it got worse. “Anyway, as I was saying, just choose the place and I’ll pay for the meal. I insist,” said Corrosion Abyss.
Luckily, it worked as what he said had distracted the sunny pegasus from the topic.
She thought about it before deciding, sighing. “Okay, fine. I’ll take your offer,” said Light Angel. One restaurant did come to mind and it was close by. “There’s this nice family owned restaurant that I love to go out to eat at with my friends. It’s called ‘Starlight Angels’, and they have great food, and the staff there are nice ponies too.” The sunny pegasus smiled. “You two will love the place. I just know it.”
The void creature smiled. “Great. Can you lead the way?” asked Corrosion Abyss.
Light Angel nodded. The sunny pegasus then picked up the bag of cookies and book, and placed them into her saddlebags. “Sure, thing. Follow me,” said the sunny pegasus.
Light Angel trotted off while the void creature and the filly followed after her.
Author's Note
There will be Arcs at different points of the story. Also, the "Treasure Arc" name thing is only temporary until I decide to either keep it or change the name to something else.
Light Angel was afraid of Corrosion Abyss, but Little Fraise was able to calm her down enough to not be scared of the void creature.
Light Angel and her AU belongs to lumiere-angel-90. Even the reference drawing belongs to them.
