Small snippet of a story I'm working on. to show you that I am indeed working on one. · 7:33am Jan 17th, 2016
Hello everypony,
Here is a small snippet from a story I am working on. It's not much of the story and shouldn't give much in the way of spoilers. I hope you enjoy. My time to work on this should be freeing up soon so i hope to have the full story posted within the week.
Italics represent speech taking place within Luna's mental-scape. Different colors represent different speaking within this space
“Not another STEP!” she heard her body called out as the demon’s voice began to warp her own. She stared down the stairway at her sister, as the voice made her speak again. “Did thou truly expect us to sit idly by while they all basked in thine ‘Precious Light’?” the cold voice asked harshly as her body, against her desires, started to move towards the stand where they would address their subjects.
“Why dost thou resist us? This is what thy desires as much as we. Succumb to us this night and become one with Nightmare Moon and we shall bring about a night that all shalt love else they shalt despair!” The voice spoke to her within her mind. It’s tone calm and speaking as if it had already won. “We only need to deal with thine precious sister, and Equestria shalt be ours!”
“THIS! This is not what we want!” Luna cried out at the demon that had all but taken over her body. “What WE wanted was merely to be seen as our dearest sister’s equal. To be loved as she is loved. To have a family as those we rule over do. Not to overthrow her. Not to put ourselves above her or get rid of her as thou suggests.” Once again the lunar diarch began to feel fatigue overcome her. This time however she did not lose consciousness as she had the last time
“No… thou shalt not miss this. Thou shalt watch as we take away the last thing thy holds dear. We shall make thee watch as thine own hooves bring end to the life of thine ‘dearest sister’!” The voice boomed before speaking aloud again.
“There can be only one princess in Equestria,” Her body spoke as it came to stop at the stand, “and that princess SHALT BE US!!”
With this her body reared up on its’ hind legs and then slammed her hooves on the ground as her eyes flashed white with pure power; causing the stand to shatter, and a crack to run back along the ground and up the wall. As the crack spread a shadow creeped up along the wall as well. A section of the wall where a stained glass window stood shattered and fell away to reveal the sun as the body of the lunar princess rose into the air. A dark and twisted look came upon her face as she raised her forehooves and forced the moon to block out the sun, her magic locking it in place. As the eclipse took hold on the sky, dark and evil shadows shot forth blanketing the land. When they began to flood into the castle they landed upon Luna and began to envelop her. A pained look appeared upon her muzzle.
“No… please no… it hurts… please… end this torture… let us have our body back…” Luna pleaded with the demon. Her voice fell upon nothing but the sick contorted laughter of the demon. “Sister… please… forgive us… we… hath done a grave injustice by allowing this being into us in the first place. Please dearest Celestia… do what thou must to protect our subjects… We art truly sorry.” She thought as pain continued to wrack her body. Wishing that her message would be heard by her sister somehow, despite the demon not allowing her to speak aloud.
When the shadows had fully enveloped her body she began to raise up slightly off the ground. A ball of magical energy wrapped around her body. Becoming black as the shadows themselves as it began to twist and contort her body. Soon the shadows gave way to what looked to be a starry night swirling around her. A calm briefly washed over her as a conjoined set of voices she had heard only once during her evening duties flooded her mind.
“Worry not dear princess of the night. All shall soon be well. The demon that has taken you cannot reach you here. And it is here that we shall protect you. For every night you bring our beauty to not just Equestria, but the entire world. The stars shall protect and watch over you and your body. But you must trust us. And let what is to come play out. The demon cannot be allowed to know that you are still here. Still protected else all shall be endangered.” With those words the voices faded leaving her to hear the sound of the maniacal laughter from the demon that had taken full control of her body
Here's hoping you enjoyed that little snippet. It's only a taste of what's to come.
