Dear Princess Celestia
Canterlot #005
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Why are you doing this?! You can't blame us for what happened! We were just trying to make up for consequences we could've never seen COMING!" Celestia raged, her horn blazed with solar energy, the power of the sun was resonating from deep within her mystical core, her heart pulsed within her chest as she glares towards the malevolent Alicorn prince standing before her, his eyes were glowing brighter red from his anger. "Oh spare me with that. You and your bitch of a sister knew exactly what you were doing. The same thing all you royals do. You make decisions that seemingly benefit your subjects, and then damn everyone else simply because you can't think ahead." Death Rose scoffed, his horn was enveloped with a cloud of sparkling red magic, his eyes narrowed, then his slit pupils began to contract from his mind suddenly becoming sparked with yet another wave of sadistic glee.
"We didn't do this willingly! You forced us to be like this! We wanted to make up for what we caused in the past. With Sombra. With...With him" Celestia confessed, she didn't enjoy thinking about the consequences she and her sister had caused, she disliked the memories that followed each time she recalled the many villains and attempted takeovers they'd experienced during the early days of their reign. "Yes, why would you bother accepting any responsibility for what you did. And then, and only then. When you're one of us. Will you finally understand." Death Rose snarled, his comment stabbed through Celestia like the sharpened tip of a spear, she felt her eyes beginning to widen whilst stepping away from the corrupted Alicorn, she immediately took notice that his magic was shifting from deep red, to a glittering gold.
"What are you doing...?!" Celestia panicked, she stepped away once she began comparing the corruptively golden magic with the notes she'd been sent by Twilight, then she recalled the alleged existence of Miss Fortune's make up line, everything began piecing itself into place. "Oh sweet Celestia. I'm doing something that should've been done centuries ago. I'm freeing Equestria from your rule." Death Rose stated, he pulled his head back, then he thrusts his head forward to release a beam of glittery golden magic straight at Celestia, Tia was left stunned in shock as the beam flew towards her but gasped once she noticed a midnight blue coloured pony diving in the way. "NO! SISTER!" Luna cried out, her wings shot open to block her sister from being struck, then she crashed to the ground with the golden magic slowly spreading out from her chest, the sight left Death Rose frozen in surprise.
"This...This was unintended. She wasn't...She...Wasn't my target..." Death Rose muttered, his eyes widening as he stepped backwards, his hooves clattering against the ground, with the shoes he wore denting from the force of his slamming, he hadn't planned for Luna to be taken first, so he was unsure how to proceed. "Luna! My sister! Sister please...Sister...Wake up..." Celestia pleaded, she leant beside the unconscious form of Princess Luna, the midnight blue tinted Alicorn was laying on her back, with a golden material slowly spreading across her chest and ejecting her fur off her body with speed and malicious hunger. "Luna please...My dearest sister...Come back to me...Wake up..." Celestia begged, her eyes were dripping with tears as she looks into Luna's lifeless eyes, the light that had formerly been present prior to being afflicted with the infection had completely ceased, with this light no longer visible, Celestia could only wonder on whether Luna was gone or not.
"This was unintended. But I suppose an Alicorn is an Alicorn. Twilight suppressed her infection. For now, and I cannot yet breach the Crystal Empire. But soon enough, I will take away everything you hold dear." Death Rose chuckled, his eyes narrowed in entertainment as he watched Luna slowly being consumed by the toxic affliction, he could see her fur as it was being transformed into the same golden hue as the various others that cane before her. "Sister...No...How could you. HOW COULD YOU?! HOW DOES THIS MAKE THINGS ANY BETTER?!" Celestia sobbed, she had turned to attention back towards the shadowy Alicorn, she watched him stepping backwards, either from fear, or from surprise, she wasn't entirely sure, but she felt her determination being spurred onwards, so she stood up. "You want payback on us?! Fine! Then take us to court or something! Don't endanger the entire COUNTRY and beyond just to get some darn payback! What the hay is wrong with you?!" Celestia raged, the prospect of her subjects being harmed had always made her vastly more irritable, especially whenever she was unable to help or actively chose not to involve herself for some spectacular and supernatural or ethereal reason.
"Because, I knew that the Ponies would go easy on you. And I wanted to make sure that it was done right. It isn't like you can undo my Dark Magic. After all, I spent the last millennium perfecting it, you and those Elements of Harmony are worthless. Completely powerless against it. Face it Celestia, I've won." Death Rose responded, his eyes narrowed further from his entertained, yet deeply annoyed perception of this interaction, he knew that he no longer needed to be present, Luna being infected would doom the entire city, and soon enough, the entire country. "I will find a way. No matter what, I will make you suffer for the damnation you have wrought upon my little ponies. You might have Dark Magic. But I have seen things in the last one thousand years, many magical things. Things that will bring your undoing." Celestia promised, she had seen so many indescribable, and impossible things over the course of her reign over the country, even after and before she had imprisoned Luna within the Moon for most of the millennium that she'd been in power. "Heh. We'll see about that. Tia." Death Rose mocked, he gently clapped his hooves against the ground, his horn blazed with red tinted magic as sigils and symbols began floating around like fireflies, then he unfurled his wings, which made him vanish into a burst of magical energy.
