Midnight's Journey
Intros and Bases
Load Full StoryNext ChapterFirst off i want to start with a note, i used to be a minecraftian and once discovered computers. Thus i discovered the world where humans lived and talked with them several times, I am having this typed for me because were I to try it myself it would take several days for a single chapter to come out. Yes, minecraftian is a species they just don't exist on your world so stop whatever comment your going to put down below. Anyways on with the story, I am not sure if this will be in the description so my name is Midnight Snufel. Don't like my name? too bad it's my name.
My tale starts with when i first got into Equestria, I immediately noticed Celestia and Luna were both alive and well. What that meant is that inequality was present and i strove to get rid of that. Anyways a few weeks after spawning as a pony and seeing the wrong i had gathered a following under an ancient organization's name, the Templar Order. The book I read said they wanted complete control over everything and through that, peace. I believe that is right or i just had that sentence backwards... So i adopted the name and introduced myself as the leader of such to anypony i meant while they were by themselves, Obviously the name's meaning changed when i started using it.
The rumors that started as a result were noticed by the princesses who had evidently rooted out said organization well over 3,000 years ago, something close to that at least. Luckily they took notice well after i had gotten enough ponies to start the second phase of my plan which was to use a spell i had learned in some library i seem to have forgotten the name of. Anyways this let you control anypony's dream as long as they were sleeping within line of sight of you, also it said the limit was 200 but I had close to 4,000 and I seemed to control the dreams rather well. Since using the dream magic put the dreams way up in a metaphorical sky that Luna watched over from high up she saw them and all of the terribleness that looked as though it were induced by her sister's greed, or that of the nobles. Luckily I made the decision to tell all of my followers why they had to sleep in a large cavern that night, even though I ended up losing a hundred dreams via ponies not wanting to help that much.
As I said Luna saw the dreams of terrible supposedly induced by her sister and the nobles, although they were faked dreams i don't doubt that such things that were in them were true somewhere in the land, and proceeded to confront her about it the next morning. Unluckily for the nobles' images they were having a lavish party when Luna decided to walk in on them, After seeing such a party in contrast to the dreams she had seen last night she did something that made them all angry with her. Luna never told me what it was and we're not finding out ever again. So back to the story the next time I saw Luna was when she started going around to different towns and gathering her night guards, some of who were a part of my following and dream spell.
The royal guard seemed to be confused by the lack of night guards who had always waited until their daytime replacements were seen to step down from their posts. One of them asked me about it and this is how the conversation went:
"Hello citizen."
I stopped in a frightened posed for a second and then relaxed "Hello guard." i returned his greeting
"Do you know anything about the night guard's disappearance?"
"Oh that, I saw Luna fly into town yesterday and gather up her guards. No idea what she's planning but she sounded more than a little angry."
The guard walked off with a sigh and continued his normal routine. Meanwhile I went and gathered my followers, minus the night guards who were currently with the Princess, and I told those of them who didn't know about Luna's visit everything I knew about it. In hindsight that wasn't my greatest idea although it did have a positive effect that happened later on. It wan't much i was able to share, mostly it was what i told the guard if you added the conversation I got the information from above from... the part about Luna seeing the dreams and all that. Oh I almost forgot to tell you this but my base is near the end of the Everfree forest that is farthest from Canterlot, it was a rather large but not very open, obviously ancient underground base. Being a minecraftian as I said before i knew all about underground bases, in the block world's physics that is, so i was completely set off when i saw all the supports for what looked to be a sculpted roof. Now the thought of dirt and stone piling up over centuries was not in my mind so I was trying to figure out for the longest time why somepony, or something, would make such a beautiful roof and then hide it underground. Now this base's entrance was really easy to find and I thought it to be the intended entrance, until i fell over 8 feet and impacted with a stone flooring.
After about a year of waiting for the war that had soon followed the gathering of Luna's guards to end my following had spread to many other cities and more and more ponies wanted equality among all ponies. I do not think that they knew at that moment that what I called equality was the call for all alicorns to be dead. Even if they did most of them seemed surprised at what I said to them all after the war was close to an end and only 2 alicorns were still alive. Luna was very close to winning the rebellion I had sparked. When I heard that Luna was preparing to march on Canterlot soon i called everypony that would listen to the base, meaning there were about 200,000 ponies missing from their daily chores and houses. I gave a speech there, i will recite it for you all:
"Today I have called you all here to announce the 4th part of my plan for equality in Equestria. Firstly i apologize for any damage done to you, your family, or your homes during the course of the war. Secondly as soon as Luna and her army conquer the city of Canterlot we will attack. If we do this at the right time we will avoid the extra harm the royal guards could do to us and catch Luna and her army exhausted and lesser in numbers than us, If we manage to do both of those then we will have an extreme advantage and it will be a quick battle and hopefully our deaths will be very small in number. For now everypony needs to get their armor and weapons and ready for battle." I jumped down from the raised plat form in the middle of the giant room, which seemed to have the purpose of giving speeches or something similar.
