I had a lot of time to take in the details. A lot of time. Like so much ti-that's getting annoying. It was hard at first because I couldn't really see as my powers didn't come with X-ray vision. That would be cool though. I had to try and find my inner peace. Or at least that's what I thought. It took a hundred years of meditating and screaming at myself in frustration before I got the ability to see my surroundings outside of my stone prison. I was put in stone for a reason but i'll get to that in a little bit. There wasn't much really. There were two crates in one corner of the room, in another corner a pipe was coming from the ceiling with water dripping down. The brick walls had 5,732 cracks(I had the time to count), and covered all of the walls,of course their was a floor and a ceiling. Beyond that I couldn't see much. I could feel that there was earth all around me except for behind the door in front of me. So I knew I was in the lowest part of the building. I was probably in the alicorn sisters castle.
Remember what I said about stone prison? Well they caused it. They put me in stone as their prisoner. You could say I'm technically a prisoner of war. A prisoner of war they never let go. When I was in the third pony-dragon war.
I stood in their throne room. The Alicorn sisters. One was had dark-blue fur, the other white. Both were wearing armor that matched their coats. They held their swords with pride and had a courageous look on their face, thinking they could win. Of course they were quite familiar with my styles and ways of fighting. It was important to observe everything that I could use to my advantage. Not much was nearby, an indent in the floor suggested a trapdoor, the design was beautiful so I would try to limit destruction. The room was like a hall but had two raised up thrones at one end. The rug on the ground was tattered and singed. All around us were the sounds of battle, fire erupting, and screams.
They started charging me and I sidestepped to the right. I held out my right hand and thought of my sword. It's design in a way that it had a large hilt, with a sharp blade. The sword came out of the ground and I took quick hold of it. The darker one slashed at me to which I ducked under and stabbed her leg. She stood strong but screamed out in pain. The white one charged me again and I clashed swords with her. I started to push her back until she flew back herself.
They looked at each other and nodded. Using their magic they activated the "Trapped Door" and out came six stones. They took three each and powered them up. As I attempted to run at them they blasted me with a rainbow putting me in my stony prison... That was one thousand and nine hundred years ago. I had summarized the two hour battle by a lot. Thinking about this made me think of all the things I miss from being put in stone. Food, Meat, Battle, and most importantly sunlight.
Sunlight is amazing the way it warms your skin. How it makes you shine. The way it makes you feel like it can guide you. The only bad thing is Celestial controls it. I still feel loathing for both her and her sister. I think her name was Lunar. Their names aren't important. They both move the sun and the moon. In that order specifically. Now I know what your saying, 'Moving the sun and moon is impossible.' Well the way they do it...is with magic. Before you shut the book or close your browser or whatever your reading this on let me explain.
The reason why i'm trapped in stone and in a place with peo-beings called Celestial is because I'm not on earth. I came to this world two thousand years ago. And i'm in a universe with talking Anthromorphic ponies. Let that sink in. Let's move on now. Now you'd probably think I wouldn't be informed much. You'd be wrong.
Because for a while Celestial would come in every week telling me about recent news and things from my dragon family. One week she came in and told me about how Chaos had gone crazy. Chaos is what I call Discord. I met him when he asked if he could borrow one of my scales. He used them to make seeds and told me he would have need for them later. So I knew that later Celestial would be leaving. What I didn't know was that she would leave without her sister. Her sister, fueled by chaos magic and wanting to be noticed more transformed into Nightmare Moon. She wrecked the castle causing enough chaos magic to start growing the chaos vine seeds. So she left and with her my chance at freedom was gone. Until she came back later to move me over to the new castle where I ended up in my room now.
I never did get to see how my family was doing. I wasn't even able to hear from my son. When I was apart of the dragon empire a couple did not want their child. They claimed he wasn't violent enough. When I looked inside his eyes I had felt a spark of something, wisdom. I knew that he would be able to become a great elder if he had someone to teach him. So I took the challenge and adopted him as my son. After my unfortunate imprisonment I never got to hear how he was doing. I can barely remember the day I got him. He was purple with an orange scaled belly. He also could not stop reading the books I gave him.
Then I felt it. An aura. Dragons can sense an aura of any living being. An aura can tell us a beings emotions, personalities, and sometimes thoughts. That's why you have to hide fear in front of a dragon. This aura felt familiar. To me it felt... not friendly, but not fiendish. It felt...Chaotic. I knew who he was. "Hey there." Chaos said,"I remember you." He never spoke light hearted around me. He couldn't. It was a part of my aura, to control. So our conversations were awkward because he had to speak in a monotone voice.
Sup' Chaos I thought knowing he couldn't hear me. Although I was concealing it I was surprised to see him alive as I could fully believe the Royal assicorns would stoop to to that level of killing again.
"I've been thinking about and I thought,'Maybe I should let that Scaled guy out!' I mean I hardly know you. Besides the fact you gave me a scale for a trick. So I decided after realizing it would cause chaos i'd let you out for fun-"
This could be my chance, I might finally see my son! My friends! I'd be able to enact my reven-
"But only if there's four alicorns!" He tried to laugh but my aura kept him from doing so, so it turning him into a drawn out coughing fit."I bet you feel horrible, huh?"
He was right, I felt shattered. I knew discord would win this time so he would be able stop anymore alicorns. So It was hopeless. "We both know that won't happen. I mean why would there ever be four alicorns? That would just be ridiculous!" He snapped his fingers and was gone. And with him went my only chance to leave.
6 Months Later...
I think it was six months anyway. I lost count. What was at first anger turned to sadness and finally hopelessness. I knew I should forget it but I couldn't. I still had just one hope that maybe, just maybe...I'd be free. As I finally gave up on it I heard an unusual noise. CRACK! Impossible! No way could there be four alicorns. Yet I could feel my prison shattering. So it had to be true. Discord can't lie and he cast the curse(or blessing?) on me. Then it finally broke apart. That happened suddenly. I opened my eyes taking in the sight of the small dark room. I saw the crates spread throughout the room. So they were using this as a storage room. Celestial prick.
Stretching my neck I said,"One thousand years can get you such a crick in the neck!" My voice was rough from all the years in stone. I broke apart the chains on my arms by flaring out my scales on my arms. My scales were extremely sharp able to cut through literally anything. Which leads me to my appearance. Picture a human, now put lizard eyes on him, scales all on his arms, green scales on my head, give him armor, and bingo! You got me. I wore scaled armor that I had used my own scales for(it's not as painful as you'd think,) combined with a special mineral I created called Ethernite. Which can only be destroyed by itself. It was a hard recipe but it worked. It covered my chest and went on my shoulders stopping there and going down my back. It also went down to my feet where I had special boots as well. My arms weren't covered because of my scales which were jutting out currently. There was also spots on my back for my wings to grow. Yeah, wings. They're very sensitive. I stood up quickly, got dizzy and fell back down. Oh, boy.
10 Minutes Later
After getting used to walking I went over to drink the water. It could have been polluted by the worst factory on earth but for me it was delicious. I looked in one of the crates and found an abandoned cloak. Putting it on I started focusing my aura out to find the throne room. When I found it I headed for the door ready for any challenge headed my way. I would kick anything that got in my way to tartarus and back.
I was ready to see sunlight. Both of them this time. And I had one thousand nine hundred years of pent up aggression.
Hundreds of miles away in a cave deep in the earth.
An old dragon opened his eyes. He got up slowly from where he had slept. The sunlight shining on his orange and purple scales. He looked around his familiar cave and saw rooms carved into the walls. He looked upas the walls came together stopping in the center where a skylight was. As he looked around he wondered why he had awoken. As he thought about this far away he felt a familiar aura from long ago in his lifespan. He took a breath of realization and air and spoke for the first time since his father's funeral took place. "He has awoken." He opened his wings as he started flapping wind picked up throughout the tunnel. He found his right pace and started flying out of the cave. When he reached the surface he looked at the distant city of Canterlot and setting his course started flying.
