What A Wonderful Life
This is literally just a cute little drabble that I found myself writing these past two hours. It's random and is in no way linked to any of my other stories. But do try to enjoy, it's something new for me :)
What A Wonderful Life
For five years I have been nothing but a shade, a shadow trapped within the darkest corner of this palace.
There were times when I could momentarily leave, if but for a few moments. I would see the light trickling in through the cracks, I would reach out to it.
Everlasting darkness was an urge that left with the host. I merely wanted to feel, to see and hear, to taste and experience.
T'was quite an impossible dream…but then you arrived.
A creature that despite all of my years, I knew not. And yet there was something…something that drew me to you and away from the corner.
There was…a chaotic aura about you, the type that you would never see in anypony.
But you were not a pony.
You were magnificent. A creature so lovely that its mere presence was enough to set me free.
No, not from the corner, but away from the shadows, away from the darkest depths that most feared to tread.
Most…but not you.
I find it difficult to explain, with any of my vast collection of words, just how grateful I was when you touched my nigh intangible form.
You felt it then didn't you?
You must have, for but a touch was enough to grant me entry into your mind…your body.
But alas t'was not happiness that I saw radiating from your eyes…No, t'was shock, surprise and fear.
I tried to ease your distress, moving closer to you as I did, touching you with my false muzzle, my imaginary hooves and tail. I watched as each touch soothed your nerves and frantic thoughts…until you were relaxed enough to listen…to understand.
How many hours passed us inside your…our mind.
How many questions did you ask me?
How many answers did I give?
I feared so greatly that you would reject me, my presence, and remove me from your…our…your mind.
I had many gifts I could bestow.
Power, riches, pleasure…the ability to rival that of Gods.
I could make you a God.
But alas…you did not want this, any of this.
Neigh, for when I asked, pleaded with you to accept something, to let me stay and give me hope, hope that my loneliness would be no more.
You instead responded with a gift of your own…A Promise of sorts.
To visit me in my prison, everyday, at two hours til midnight.
T'was far too tempting. How could I have ever resisted when you seemed so sincere.
And sincere you were.
You kept your promise and visited me every day. You would come into the corner, my corner, our corner and allow me entry unto your mind.
Where we could converse, laugh and play without interruption.
You were…my only friend, the only one I had ever made without coercion.
And that made you so special to me.
I know not what I truly am anymore, only what I can provide and do, give and take.
T'was not me who wanted eternal night. T'was not me that killed many an innocent to achieve it.
Yet I am still blamed, my false name now nothing more than a foal's holiday.
But you were not of this land were you. No, you were stolen from your home by the sun itself.
T'was not on purpose, yet you resent her all the same.
You resent a lot of Ponies don't you?
But I…am not a Pony, and neither are you.
Tis no wonder why we are so perfect for each other.
Seasons passed us by and still you kept your promise, you visited me and spoke, laughed and played.
Yet as time went on I noticed something horrible.
You were aging.
You were but seventeen upon your arrival, but all of a sudden eight years had claimed your youth.
I wondered how long your promise could still be kept.
But then worse came to pass, something that terrified me beyond all measure.
And you knew didn't you? You knew that it would scare me…So why did you tell me that you could go home?
Eight years…Eight years for the right moment, only then could a door be opened…and closed permanently.
You spoke with such nostalgia every time your family was mentioned…I knew that if it came down to it than you would chose them over me.
Yet…I had time, you had a few months left until the door could be opened.
But how to go around it?
You did not want any of my gifts…but maybe you would want something else.
A gift still…but one that would be as much for me as it would for you.
Best friend…was what you called me. The only one who understood you, a Human trapped in a world of magic.
But over time I realized that friendship was not enough for me. I wanted more than the love of a friend…I wanted the love of a mate.
Many a creature has forgotten the term of "mate". But a being as old as I can never forget its meaning.
I watched as many a Pony become lovers…but rarely did I see two become mates.
Mate…To be someone's Mate was to hold their life in your hands, whilst also knowing that they held yours.
T'was an act of utmost trust, love and safety.
T'was a binding act. One that many a being scorn in favour of false promises and cheap lust filled romance.
It was this that I wanted with you.
And as the weeks flew by, I struggled with how to tell you this.
Me, a being so old that creation herself knew me personally.
Thankfully…I did not need to say much at all.
You…My wonderful Human. You did that for me.
Tis a night I will never forget.
The two of us inside our mind, not playing or conversing…but merely holding the other in a more than friendly embrace.
Well…
T'was more than friendly to me.
And as I struggled for the right words…you told me yourself. You told me how badly you'd miss me and my presence.
My words, touch…the fabricated feel of my soft coat against your skin.
T'was a pony you saw me to be…But on that night I showed you the true me.
An ethereal being you said. Wrapped in shadows like a ghost…Yet blessed with such femininity, such beauty that you were struck silent.
Old I said I was…Wonderful you said I was.
Evil I said I was…Misunderstood you said I was.
And so I confessed how I felt…and you replied with such lovely words of affection. Your affection for me.
Your love for everything I am…Met with my love for everything you are.
The act of making love is a mortal dance…I showed you something that no mortal could ever understand.
Even the Demi Goddess had never met the power I blessed you with.
She wanted pleasure and pleasure she received, in its most based form.
But you…You received the touch of the ages. My touch. A touch so ancient that it had been lost to everyone but myself.
Sex…is what this touch became so many millennia after its creation.
And the moment I touched you…You were struck with something your mortal mind could barely comprehend.
Pleasure was but a foal compared to what I bestowed upon you.
Groans and moans escaped you as you were wrapped within my desire.
It did not take long for your mortal form to release its essence…and I must confess that pride tingled within me as I witnessed you lose control.
And then you came to me, lust, love, adoration and desire trapped behind those clear blue orbs.
Yet you knew not what could appease me, for I had no true form but my own.
It mattered little however, for I drew you over to me…and wrapped my shadows around your frail Human body.
I had…not received anything like it before.
We became one in that moment…and true pleasure enveloped us both.
I could feel the sensation of lips upon my own…yet at the same time I could hear you, your praise and love that you had held back for so long.
For I knew everything about you now…I knew how long you had pined for me.
T'was even longer than I had yearned for you.
It was in the shadows that we showed that love we had for each other.
I felt exulted that night. For you touched me, loved me and lusted for me in so many ways that I, a being almost as old as time itself, was rendered putty in your embrace.
And you…When I showed you everything I knew, everything I had to give you, my love, something that I had shown no other…made you tremble with longing for more.
T'was many an hour by the time we finished.
Your body was exhausted, as was your mind.
As was my mind.
But there was still one more thing for us to do.
And you knew didn't you…You knew the moment I opened my mind to you.
As did two others.
For they came as I cast my power over you, having sensed the bond that we struck. The bond of our love, true love for each other. Shock and fear plagued their eyes as its effect took hold immediately.
"Fight her!" cried the eldest, the brightest of the two. "She will attack Equestria again! Fight her!"
You stood up then didn't you. Rising to meet their terrified gaze with a dangerously narrowed one of your own.
But then again…it wasn't really just you was it. For it was my voice that left your mouth…The last time they ever heard it.
"Neigh Sun Spawn," I declined victoriously. "He is mine, I am his and together we shall travel every universe. See civilisations fall, watch as new ones rise from the ashes if only to fall once more. For you see Alicorns. I have finally met the one, my one and only. The only one that is worthy of my love. Just as I am the only one worthy of his. So fear not demi goddess…You shall never see us again."
And with those parting words…we left.
Left to do as I promised we would.
I wonder…how many worlds have we saved?
How many lives have we rescued from death…and how many have we sent to Tartarus?
The Black Knight, The Man With Two Voices, The Prince Of Romance, The Grey Fox, The Saviour Of The Dalish, The Destroyer Of The Summerset Isles, The Warden's Companion, The Spectral Assassin.
How many more titles have we claimed upon our everlasting journey?
How many foolish mortals have taken unto worshipping us?
How many clever mortals have adopted our ideals, our falsified mortal form and made us out to be the Hero?
The Villain?
We like being the villain sometimes don't we?
But now we rest in our mortal home. It's nice, cosy and yet always has that touch of danger just around the corner.
Solitude was always too frivolous for our tastes. The mountains we live on, the sea that crashes against it…Now that is a home.
Perhaps Tenzor will come and visit us soon. He's always way too busy fighting dragons and could do with a break.
You walk in as I think this, a smile gracing your eternally youthful face as you reach me, hold me and kiss my mortal lips.
I never used to appreciate the weak, frail forms the mortals have.
Yet with you it becomes…quite lovely.
Except for when I have to regrow my hair. You're pretty much useless with fire spells.
A sudden cry reaches us from the far side of the room and I rush to meet it, to soothe it as I have you many times over.
To think that in all my years of gifting unto mortals and demi goddesses, I never once considered having a family.
Let alone a child.
But there she is…our baby.
I feel your arms snake around my stomach and rub the slight swell it has already received.
You always know how to soothe me don't you?
"I love you Caeruleus," you say, love heavy in your voice.
Caeruleus…A name that is not my real one and yet…it is enough.
Dark one is its translation.
Yet at times you still choose to call me Caru…It's sweet, silly and unbelievably you.
"I love you too…my sweet human."
What adventures we've had, spanning throughout the ages. How many fights and arguments have joined them?
I've lost track of how many times you ran away from me in your youth.
Yet it troubles me little, for I always found you, and you always relaxed in my arms…eventually.
You were stubborn at times, but it just added more for me to love.
As you hold me I look out of our window and at the sun setting, creating a wondrous glow over the ocean.
And I think to myself...
What a wonderful life.
End

And I think to myself...
I dread to think what idea's are locked inside your head ready to burst out on the PC
I know people are going to say it so I will to.
MOAR!
I enjoyed (again
)
That was definitely... Beautiful. I'm not really sure what to say other than that.
You are now my favorite author on this site.
I...Just...this is what you made in two hours? This is you playing around!?
3157074
I was making it up on the spot.
Writers block was getting to me, so I decided to write without really thinking.
Why? Is it that bad
3157083 It was perfect. You should do stuff like this more often.
3157086
Little snippets?
Sure XD
3157083 ...I could not find any word in all of existence to match the sheer magnitude of epic, seeping through every word of that story...that story has no definition for how awesome it is...
3157089
Thank you. You've made me tear up
3157095 And you sir...made me cry...
That was just....beautiful....*blows into tissue*
3157030
What a wonderful worldddd
Rereading it for the fourth time I just noticed that this has the ENORMOUS potential for spin-offs.
While I know I would love them all I have to say this story is more that anything that ever needs to be said for this pairing.
So he became the grey fox? Like the tamreil thieves guild?
Edit:can anyone pick up other references in that block?
3157168
Mayyyyyyyyyybe
Any possibility for >Moar? Or was this just a one shot with no possibility of continuation?
3157191
I'll decide when I wake up and see what people think.
Why, do you want more?
I think I saw some elements from Tamriel there.
3157209
Reaaaaaaaaaaaally?
3157198
1. You, sir, are the trolliest of trolls.
2. I haven't even read it yet and I want more just from the comments and description (plus I don't need to read it to know that it's a damn fine piece of literature since you have such a way with words.).
3157260
Ah, I implore thee good sir.
Read, rate and tell me what you TRULY think
Very nicely done, tender, sweet, very heavy emotion laced throughout... It's stuff like this that makes me realize that I confided in the right person when it came to that special request I received in my mail box... Continue with the good work Zamariac, I await whatever you choose to write next with open arms and eager eyes.
3157268
'Twas art, nay, 'Twas more than art! (I'm done talking like that now)
Seriously though, it was amazing and I humbly request more.
Also, you wrote that in two hours?!
I've taken to writing one shots on bets and I take days to get out 2k words. (Although I am forced to write on my iPod.)
3157340
I really wasn't thinking about making it into anything, let alone a one shot.
I was just writing what I could make up on the spot, and the next thing I knew, I had written this
3157346
For something just made up on the spot this is awesome and irregardless of what you meant it to be I hope you'll at least consider making more.
3157379
Let me sleep on it (Literally)
It's nearly 2am over here XD
Dawwwww. That was beautiful.
Moaaaaaaaaaaar...also, i don't really see the mature tag...
I knew it. Nightmare Moon is Nocturnal and/or Mephala. Awesome.
I love these little looks into Nightmare Moon's mind that come along from time to time.
funnt how i was first comment when he first posted it and now it makes front page of fim pretty awesome gj
awesome
I... Don't know how to say how, heavy this is...
A lone tear reached my eye as the story ended, and I could perfectly imagine every part of it as if it were literally in pictures...
If there is one thing I found this story spoke, it's that it said "Even the most rejected, and unfavored beings, can still find the thing that lets them thrive."
Absolutely beautiful story my friend, good work.

Well done... not that long, but it was very entertaining, so much so that I shirked some minor duties to read it. Good job, and now I must go and do said duties.
This was pretty good, I think it could get by with a teen rating as there wasn't any actual clop.
And it got featured...as usual.
3158246
His followers/fans make sure of that
It was beautiful. But I became confused about And you knew didn't you…You knew the moment I opened my mind to you.
As did two others.
Did I miss something? Is this some kind of crossover? I don't get it.
Surely you jest when you say you made this masterpiece in just a couple hours.
3157168>>3157171
I would have guessed the Grey Fox from Metal Gear Solid1.
Warden's companion: Dragon Age
The Black Knight: Monty Python (maybe Batman)
The Man With Two Voices: Don't know
The Prince Of Romance: Don't know
The Saviour Of The Dalish:
The Destroyer Of The Summerset Isles: D&D
The Spectral Assassin: Don't know
I sometimes have fun with the idea that my character has the same soul as a character that I played previously. Like my D&D paladin has the same soul that once occupied my version of Noble 6, which later goes on to my Commander Shepard, then goes into my Dovakin, and then my character in Baldur's gate.
3158562
She's a Goddess, she can do and have more or less whatever she likes XD
3158954
Then why didn't she have a form in the beginning then, instead of having to communicate with the guys mind?
3159032
She was too weak and besides she was trapped in a shadowy corner.
Once they bonded, she regained her full power and became able to do more or less anything
3158341
Once she opened her mind to him, and he to her, they both knew everything about the other.
When she says "And you knew didn't you?" This is what she's referring to
3159039
Oh, now that makes sense. You should do more Nightmare Moon stories since your so good at it(last I checked she is your favorite(and technically mine too.))
I think I love you as much as I love Nightmare... Maybe not, but still close.
you brilliant bastard... such a simple story to follow I can 't help but wonder how this story would be to follow if it went into more details, arriving on the world, meeting Night, the sex...? facing the two sisters, traveling the worlds, having a family, and calling it the end.
...Did you just get better?
I think you did.
Yup, you totally did.
Fucking bad ass writer you
You could probably loose the mature tag, and who knows it may open a window to your other works for the other readers that are blocking Mature materials (apparently they DO exist
).
A dark demi goddess falling in love with a mortal man and start obsessing over him, a concept you have fully masterd and perfected when it comes to Writing, and i am SUCH a fanboy of it!!!
Loved this fic, as Always your fics is just to awsome!
