The scene unfolding the throne room was depicted as the following: Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's meeting with Ambassadors Sapphire and Steelwing were interrupted when an unknown intruder forced his way into the room, hoping to seek an audience. Now as the purple dragon stood there taking in his surroundings he had a distinct feeling the two ponies at the end of the room were far different then the ones he encountered during his stay here. Eyes cast over to the snow white one, the pale pastel colored mane and tail, which like her dark counterpart, seem to flow and weave on its own accord. Royal regalia adorned her body, while grand wings and an even imposing horn was noted. A sun was emblazoned on her flank, signifying her cutie mark and what her abilities were. Most of all were her own eyes, gazing back with calm intensity much like the suttle feel a prelude to a potential storm should its power continued to be fueled by the conditions.
Next were the ambassadors. Clearly both were stunned and unable to speak at the sight of this dragon, who so easily dispatched Celestia's guards without so much as breaking a sweat. More so was the strange hum of power that gathered before hoof before it was unleashed with powerful results. As for Spyro there was little time to even consider what to say. Soft groans, strained limbs and sore bodies, still wracked with the after effects of his Lightning spell. To top it all off, the sounds of hooves thundered behind him as more guards rushed to defend their rulers.
Well, this is a fine mess you've gotten yourself into Spyro. Adding more fuel to the fire and doing a darn fine job of it to. No doubt the white pony is Celestia. The dragon and griffon must be the ambassadors. That leaves the other one, the midnight colored pony. Given their appearances are similar, I would have to say they are related.
HALT!
The dragon whirled around to see eight more guards clamber into the throne room. Unlike their fellow pegasi, these guards felt they had more umph, more fire in them and were heavily armored compared to the others. Elite guards then? Spike never mentioned these ponies during his quick run-through of the castle. They moved swiftly quickly surrounding Spyro all poised and ready to strike at the drop of a feather or whisper of a command. He hunkered down in response, his own body ready to counter anything thrown his way. While he would have preferred to avoid a fight it looked as though his chances of avoiding such was slim.
"Fellas. I don't suppose we can discuss this in a peaceful matter could we?" Spyro asked.
"By royal decree of Princess Celestia, you are hear by placed under arrest for invading her majesty's castle with the attempt to infiltrate and cause plausible harm. You also face charges for assault on fellow palace guards."
"I guess saying self defense wouldn't fly by you pegasus, would it?"
A cold stare greeted Spyro's visage as he exhaled noisily,"Didn't think so."
They made their move. Spyro made his.
At the throne room, Luna merely gawked as her sister's personal hoof picked Elite Royal Guards ganged up on the purple dragon. The alicorn quickly moved to Celestia's side and all but hissed in her ear.
"Sister do something! They are going to tear that dragon apart and in front of the ambassadors no less!"
"I doubt they will do very much to him, nor will he cause them real harm." she whispered back.
"What?!"
"Just watch dear sister."
They all leap in unison, some attempt to pin him down like the last group. Spyro rolled quickly to the side, just as eight pairs of front hooves land on the red carpeting where he was once stood. For elites, they seem to follow their former commands routine with attempts to pin the intruder. Then again they were not unicorns, so magical restraints were not their strong points. Flight and speed with a little brute strength mixed in seemed more their style. speed also played a part as three broke off from the huddled group and charged the dragon. One went for a frontal tackle, two took quick leaps to the side in hopes of cutting off his attempt to roll his way out of this one. Spyro acknowledged their quick thinking and rushes the first elite in front. The pegasus guards braces himself for what he thinks the dragon is going for a tackle himself. Fool. The stallion thought as he recalled going through the harshest flight camp training ever written down in the barracks. He halted tumbling boulders twice his size with his chest alone. This shrimp of a dragon tackle would be like a feather and all he needed to do was wrap his forelegs around him and the dragon was as good as trapped.
Just when the the space between then closed, Spyro reared up on his hind legs and grabbed the guard's helm.
"What the?!" was all he managed to stutter before his sight went black. Spyro yanked his helm down, obscuring his view and temporarily jamming the helmet on his head. While he struggled to release his head from his now burdensome head decoration, Spyro turned his attention on the remaining seven. He somersaulted back, avoiding the two others whom tried to sneak in for a take down, watching them bounce off one another with little reaction. Tougher then a dragon's scales these fellows probably played for keeps. No wonder they were saved for last. Let the small fry move in to slow down their quarry then come in and finish the job with style. Spyro noticed they were pushing him back too. The dragon was backpedaling as they closed in, finding himself moving closer to the throne. Not too bright, if they are putting their rulers at risk. Unless there was some hidden ploy he had yet to pick up on. Oh wait.... the two ponies on the throne... they had horns as well. Horns meant they knew magic which meant....
Spyro yelped as a soft aura enveloped him freezing him in place like stone. Sure he could breath and still talk if he wanted to, but his limbs, tail, wings and other muscle groups were not responding.
"Thank you, my faithful guards. Please.. .gather your comrades and depart. I will call upon your services later."
"Your majesty? Is it wise to leave such a dangerous dragon in your care? We've seen what he did to the others just now, surely."
"I appreciate your concern, Captain Highwind. As you also know, thousands of years of protecting my ponies and this kingdom has made me anything but soft and feeble." Celestia replied.
The one in charge bowed before giving a salute,"Apologies my Princess."
He turned and barked out the orders. The seven group up once more and they marched as one taking their fallen comrades with them as they exited. The doors slammed with a loud bang with Spyro levitating there just watching the display. He found himself being flipped around and then tugged with ease until he found himself levitating a few feet from the white pony in question. Those same eyes that held that intense stare had softened, but Spyro doubted the mild irritation of his actions were unnoticed.
"Purple scales with red hued wings, yellow spines along the head and neck with two horns. Pale violet eyes and a knack for elemental magic. These are the words Twilight described you as. Am I wrong Spyro?"
"Your majesty please! Be lenient with him he was only.." Sapphire tried to speak.
"Ambassador Sapphire, Ambassador Steelwing. I ask that you leave my court temporarily. I have words to speak with this dragon and this dragon alone. My guards will summon you when we are finished."
Dragon and griffon traded uneasy glances but complied. They bowed and then turned tail exiting the same fashion as the elites, the huge doors opening and closing once more. Celestia, Luna and Spyro were alone. Any more soldiers stationed within immediately left without word. They knew their Princess when she expected a private meeting and were not one to disobey an indirect order.
The aura around Spyro faded and he dropped like a stone. Landing on all fours, he shook himself off only to feel Celestia standing over him lowering her neck so their eyes met. There was a distinct feeling of dread creeping in his belly. One could say the alicorn was not happy with him right now.
"What part of 'stay out of sight' did you not understand, Spyro? Were my words misinterpreted by Twilight when she relayed the message from the letter I sent her?"
Spyro snorted then pushed her muzzle back much to her surprise,"With all due respect, your highness. I don't like secrets kept from me. especially when they involve me. Yeah, you know the hidden message you wrote in your last letter addressed to your student and her alone? I read that. I'm not some pet you can simply hide behind some curtain while you hold your meetings. I may be a guest in your world. But I have as much as a voice as any of your fellow pony citizens."
"Then as a guest and 'citizen' Spyro, when a order is given, you oblige and follow it. Not disobey. You infiltrated my castle un seen, attacked my guards, interrupted an important meeting between two ambassadors and for what? Just to be heard. Clearly you do not see the delicacy of the situation you find yourself in, child."
"Ch... child?!" Spyro stammered.
Celestia bore down upon him again those eyes almost piercing into his soul,"I've lived many centuries, Spyro. Seen things that no mortal could content or understand, dealt with such travesties your world would not survive one of them. Dragons hatch, grow of age then wither away. The same can be said of my ponies and griffons. The one thing that will never change will be of me and my sister. Until time itself ends our lives will forever go on."
I...Immortality? But that's a myth! Volteer said it himself, immortals never existed! Could he have been wrong all this time?
"Luna will escort you to my chambers. You are to remain there until I am finished. You are not allowed to leave, allowed to roam, allowed to THINK of even trying anything in that skull of yours. And you will not speak to any pony until I am through. Are we clear?"
Spyro could have said no, refused to listen and continue to press his point. Yet something about Celestia dared him to even think of acting against her. Different from any dragon or creature he had encountered during his travels, it was clear Celestia would play for keeps and he doubted that even with his knowledge of the elemental arts, he would barely singe a single hair on her mane. Gritting his teeth, but seeing how absolute her orders were, the dragon merely snorted and nodded.
"Good. Sister will you be so kind?" The alicorn motioned to the midnight colored pony to her left.
"Of course, sister. We shall see you when you have finished."
Luna rose and stepped down, bading the dragon to follow. He took one last glance at the sight of Celestia sitting there, not moving as her eyes remained fixated to him, waiting for him to make another mistake. He turned and followed the dark alicorn down the pathway towards the door.
"Sister before its too late, inform Sapphire and Steelwing they may enter once more as well as my guards."
Luna bowed slightly,"It will be done. I look forward to hearing the outcome."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Moon goddess and dragon spoke little as they were heading towards Celestia's chambers. Luna tried to strike up some conversation, but Spyro was not responding. Either he was not happy for being so silenced easily, or the dragon was lost in thought. Luna kept from grinning, but let a small smirk play across her muzzle. Always the same with big shots in Equestria. Thinking they could come in whenever they want and expect to be heard. Only when they felt her sister's presence where they so easily cowed and meek, did they truly understand their position. She was a force to be reckoned with. The pair came before a set of doors, two guards posted at either side. Both saluted to Luna, eyes quirked at the sight of Spyro with her.
"Princess's orders. He is to remain in her chambers and is not allowed to leave under any circumstance."
Both nodded in unison, opening the door to their ruler's room which Luna and dragon entered. She stood by the doorway as he stepped into the center, then turned around and stared at the dark alicorn.
"You should count yourself lucky, Sir Spyro. Celestia has been lenient with you. Try not to irk her any further. For both your sakes."
Luna closed the doors and Spyro found himself alone in the chamber. Eyes glanced around and took in the sights. It seemed similar to Twilight's library almost. There was a desk on one side of the room, complete with a stack of scrolls, quill and inkwell. Book shelves adorned the far end, lined with many tomes, both new and aged. Various contraptions, instruments and other objects decorated the room, much like Twilight's. Of course the bed at the end made the unicorn's look like a patch of dirt. These rulers sure lived a pampered life. Or when ever they could. A dresser and mirror tied every thing together, a small jewelry hutch sat upon the surface, open and vacant. Clearly a housing for what ever adornments were removed for the night.
While Spyro was half heartedly looking around, his reflection on the mirror warped and twisted, the features darkening and blurring out. Soon a shadowy form of himself was there, blank eyes staring intently at its half.
My, my we certainly put on a rather impressive display. The way she handled you, how long before we have a leash and rope around our neck, barking like some common pup?
"Don't start. I've had enough with one lecture I don't need another. Not from the likes of you anyway." The dragon grumbled.
Oh yes, I can imagine you like getting your tail handed to you on a regular basis by some... beast. The great Spyro, slayer of Malefor and savior of Avalar, brought low by some prissy, frilly, girly ruler over a bunch of four legged little blobs of color.
The dark half yawned almost bored, admiring its claws for a moment. Spyro ignored him for the better part until its hollowed voice started up again.
So between the dragon ambassador and the griffon ambassador, which side do you think will attempt a coup and try to take us? My gold is on both. While dear Sapphire may sound trust worthy, there is something about her I find off. And let us not forget the proud Steelwing. A weapon he calls us. How admirable. I really should thank him some day.
Spyro said nothing and turned around, ignoring his reflection. It stared at him in a mixture of mild annoyance and amusement, before striking up another conversation.
So between us, what did you make of that ghastly stone creation in the garden? For a ruler who seems to enjoy the arts and culture of her kind, that mocking abomination of creature parts certainly clashes with her artistic tastes. And that faint aura. Seems Celestia has a few dark secrets herself she's been keeping from her fellow subjects. Or they mostly know and dare not speak about it. What do you think?
"Heck if I know." The dragon muttered. Eyes cast down on the marbled floor, the large circular rug in the middle drew his attention as it bore the same symbol on Celestia's flank.
"Have to admit. It did feel strange. And creepy."
The doors opened drawing his attention to the princess as she entered. They closed as Celestia scanned the room, finding Spyro by her dresser. Her eyes darted from left to right, a look of puzzlement betrayed her otherwise calm features.
"So am I your prisoner now, sentenced to some dungeon you have in store until this whole delicate situation blows over?"
The dragon erked as she plucked him off the chair by her aura and plopped him back down before her. He snorted and rose to his feet, looking a bit peeved that she was tossing him around almost like a rag doll.
"Twilight will arrive shortly to take you back to her library. I'm sending two of my elites as well and you will be under constant supervision. This is your once, only and last mistake you will ever make, Spyro. Once your elders create a rift between our worlds, you will be free to head home. Until then your being placed under house arrest."
A small bracelet appeared before her and it snapped around his wrist. Spyro looked down then back up to the alicorn.
Celestia gave a light nod, "Its attuned to you. And it will not come off unless I release it. An insurance policy in case you decide to pull any more foolish stunts. I WILL know where you are should you try and hide, so don't get any brilliant ideas."
The doors opened once more and two of her elites showed up. Spyro recognized the captain and the other pegasus whose helm he yanked down.
"Your highness, Twilight is waiting in the court yard for our little guest here." Captain Highwind said with a salute.
"Thank you captain. You may escort our guest out." The pegasi bowed and approached Spyro. Seeing no other option, the dragon gritted his teeth and followed his watch ponies out of the chambers. He paused and turned to give Celestia a hard look, the alicorn not budging from her place.
"I'm doing this for your own good, Spyro. Tensions are high as it is between Draconis and Gryf. Your unexpected arrival and showcase of your power has both ambassadors on edge. Let us hope it does not escalate any further." The alicorn motioned.
The trio left and the doors closed, leaving Celestia alone in her room. Once she knew they were far enough, the alicorn turned and paced, looking in every nook and cranny. Her search came up empty leaving the ruler puzzled.
"I swore I could have heard him talking to some pony in here earlier...."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If looks could kill, Twilight would have beaten Celestia for the champion cup of murderous looks. Fuming would be the polite terms given the pony's body posture and how she glared as Spyro appeared with both guards in tow. They saluted to the unicorn before Spyro entered the carriage Twilight following with the guards bringing up the rear.
"I can't believe you! Of all the crazy, foolish, rock headed stunts I've seen any pony or dragon pull off, this has got to be the worst one yet! How could you, Spyro? I trusted you, the Princess trusted you, my friends trusted you! And what do you do? You break into the castle! The castle of all places!"
Spyro tuned her out while the guards just gave small grins, enjoying the further lashing the dragon was getting from the smaller mare. The carriage lurched and was on its way back to Ponyville, complete with one furious unicorn mare, one deeply stewed Spyro and two elite guards who were looking to enjoy this task and maybe get a little payback for the insult said dragon caused them in front of their ruler.
Back in her room, Luna found Celestia pacing in circles, her sister holding a tea tray in her aura.
"Sister is everything alright? Spyro is under constant watch and will be with Twilight. He won't be making any more mistakes. The meeting with Steelwing and Sapphire went better then we both expected." The dark alicorn pointed, setting down the tea.
Celestia looked back up at her sister,"Luna. When you looked at Spyro, did you feel anything off about him?"
"Off? I don't quite follow your meaning sister. I felt the magical power he used and how different it is from ours. If that is what you are referring to, then yes. Is something about him troubling you? Did he show disfavor over the sentence you placed upon him?"
The white alicorn shook her head.
"No. Just... " She motioned for Luna to come closer, the midnight alicorn joining her sister at the center.
"Before I entered, I was overhearing him talking. Brief as it was, it sounded like he was speaking to another pony or person. Yet when I entered my chamber was vacant save for him. And just as he left when I looked into his eyes I felt... something."
Luna tilted her head,"Something? I'm afraid that is too vague, sis. Your going to have to be a little more specific for me to understand."
Celestia gazed at her sister, a look of worry and a hint of pain in her eyes.
"What I sensed in him was similar to what I was sensing in you. Before the Nightmare Moon incident."
"Sis?"
"I'm going to rely a message to Twilight to have her keep an extra sharp eye on him. There is something about Spyro that has me concerned. I don't want to make a mistake and have some catastrophe unfold in Equestria again. I will consult his elders. Maybe they will have some answers."
Man that was weak. Spyro is all kinds of kickass. There was no way Celestia could have beaten him.
I don't know, Divine magic is pretty strong stuff depending on who is using it, and an immortal sun god-princess is high on the list.
dark spyro. I DEMAND DARK SPYRO KICKS ALL ASS!!!
468052 agreement Celestia only defeated discord with help from the elements of harmony and she was powerless against him after that. and spyro defeated a sorcerous before he was even able to do magic..
468175 also agreement but with a slight dissagreement. (makes sense??) Divine magic like the elements of harmony is infinate and anything could happen with them making them completely unstable that only the bearers use them. (this is logic, but also fannon) but then after that you have an immortal goddess who can move the sun, which btw so can 100 unicorns so if you do the math she's not realy that powerful seeing i really doubt equestria has had anything more powerful than discord who's only weakness is overconfidence and the elements of harmony.
>> everypony and to top it off spyro is a master at pretty much everything he does and i havent even seen the story line of anything past half-way through a hero's tail. (i think its called that) and he was beyond powerfull there, with a good player of spyro,(considering myself slightly good) you could demolish anything on the hardest difficulty. and normal i just DESTROYED everything in my way on day of the dragon, where sypro didnt have any magic so spyro hands down.
And the plot thickens to the point of oatmeal.
Yes I agree you made Celestia too overpowered, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IMMORTALITY AND LONGEVITY, so she can move the Sun big whoop, she is definitely stronger than anything with magic but come on are you telling me she has a chance against him if he was trying? I don't think so! Especially if he goes dark spyro on her. All in all get your shit straight your making the purple dragon into a wimp. God I mean remember Discord ? I agree with everyone here: GET. IT. RIGHT. 468294 Agreed !
468316 thank you for agreeing but i dont know if he is making celestia more powerful we do have to remember that ponies think discord was the eqivilent to.. IDK but something extremely powerful and Celestia hasnt faced anything spyro has faced. but neither spyro nor Celestia know that so celestia things he is weak because he hasnt shown his full potential and spyro beleives her to be strongs on the main point of her raising the sun. a feet he could do if he tried. but doesnt know that he could.. i believe celestia isnt overpowered but very overconfident and spyro too underconfident for normal spyro. i think normal spyro still would've agreed to go to his room. but would knock out the guards and follow the embassidors so he could speak with them himself. but i guess we have to remember this situation has never been put on either celestia or spyro.
and without knowledge to dark spyro, i'm guessing dark spyro is like sonic as werehog? (or whatever they called is transformation) but if its like that he wouldn't be in as much controll of the magic he has in the form thus bringing him lower down onto a more Discordish kind of strength. but resistant the the elements of harmony because of the dragons strong risitance to magic that i've notice in the first couple of games.
but yes.. she cant move the sun BIG WHOOP
468323 You make a strong point, and now he has a leash I wonder how much can he take before he snaps. All he needs is someone to tell him the Princess isn't actually that strong. I mean really? 'I've taken down threats stronger that your world could not survive' *snicker* who Discord? I don't think you could have had worst than total annihilation you dumb bitch. All it takes is a little push, a sudden realization and she will be put in her place. I see this in way to many fics *sigh* making the royal sisters [seem] OP and completely forget about remedying the situation. I didn't break Malefore like a stick just so this guy can get his facts wrong. I truly hope he reads these comments AND does something !
468316 THANK YOV
While it is common enough in fanfics to describe Celestia as being a goddess or nearly one it is not really canon. Goddess Celestia is in the same category as Trollestia, Tyrlestia and Molestia, they are not canon but they are commonly used alter egos for the princess. We've seen multiple times Celestia isn't all powerful, while she is stronger then the average unicorn it is stated in the story that a group of unicorns can and used to raise the Equestrian sun themselves before Celestia took over doing it. Luna and Celestia were obviously not around during the events described in Hearth's Warming Eve so in the series it shows them not to be eternal deities. Also Nightmare Moon had obviously overpowered her upon returning and again Celestia had been powerless to go against Discord without the elements.
it's not really a complaint against your story since a lot of other fanfics do the same thing. I just hope she isn't too OP that she just smacks Spyro around like a rag doll if he does snap. Spyro took down Malefor who was easily more powerful then NMM or Discord and then rebuilt the world. It would feel like a slap in the face if he is shown as being a wimp compared to Celestia.
However I really enjoy this story and I'm sure whatever you do to continue it will be equally enjoyable to read.
spyo RAGE NOW!!!!
I don't agree with the others. I think Celestia is this powerful and I'm happy you acknowledge it. (She's a freaking immortal goddess who moves the sun (and the moon for a time) each and every day. She's both powerful and wise.)
I do feel for Spyro though. He was technically in the right to be curious and a little bit angry at the information withheld from him. (I'd be too, though I wouldn't break into a castle.)
Keep up the good work.
Regarding Celsetias power or divinity, i think we simply don`t know. From the facts all we know for certain is that shes over a thousand years old and that shes more powerfull than other unicorns but less powerfull than discord. How she compares to spyro is anyones guess, magic between settings is hard to compare, and esspecially with celestia we have little that can be empirically measured. She can apparently move the sun and moon, and if they are remotely similar to our world the amount of energy required would be absolutely staggering, but that seems not like the right approach.
Assuming hearths warming eve is fact, we know that the sun and moon can be moved by other unicorns, be we dont know wether it takes three or three hundred.
Also regarding "divine" magic, what makes or makes not someone a "god" is also hardly fixed from any fantasy world to another, and in some the gods are far from all powerfull.
On the whole we dont have enough information, and for celestia pretty much anything between "somewhat long lived unicorn with wings" and "not quite all-powerfull creator goddess" can be a possible interpretation that can be made to fit with canon.
, you screwed up big time. When we get back to the library it's NO ice cream for you.
468801 your opinion is your own and if you really think that we cant change your mind but f you havent notice Celestia‘s cutie mark is raising the sun so she will excel in that area without much effort and rasing the moon all she has to do is focus her sun moving power on the moon. This is only a power she has because of her special talent
she didnt practice to raise the sun. therefore having no real power.
468982 First off your not wrong about us not knowing about How powerful Celestia is but you have to understand that she really doesnt command power since the elements changed into six mortals. SIX MORTALs who use emotional traits (minus magic) are stronger that Celestia... the immortal sun goddess who has had a thousand years where she could prepare for nightmare moons return but instead her weapon of choice is the elements and ge sits on her fat ass.
468334 agreed remember the scorceress in spyro day of the dragon(i think) had the ability to move the sun and spyro prety much justdestroyed her
>>Author So i would like to ask you to read our commnts and possible have celestia supprised at Spyro‘s ability or something similar if they face off. so as you dont have to alter your aweome work s far.
>>Everyone i tried making a spyro fanfic guys trust me its not easy
468801 Most will not agree with you [ me included]. But its your opinion. However you should get your facts right and I highly doubt you even played the games to know who Spyro truly is. Celestia is not that powerful all evidence points to it : Nightmare Moon, Discord heck even the dragons make fun of her. Do you really think they would insult a god? Another hole in your theory, she hasn't been around forever [ Hearth Warming Eve is evidence] and she definitely is not immortal, its called Longevity. The term 'alicorn' is fan made, she is referred to as winged unicorn in the show. Also taking into consideration the wedding episode which comes out this week proves a few points, there are more than one 'alicorns', it proves the Longevity part since a winged unicorn is marrying a non alicorn.
469467 not really that hard writing a crossover if you know the characters well enough. They told me Prototype and MLP don't go well but I proved them wrong. This guy had a sound story, sound writing and F**ks up by making Spyro the pet of *quote*namby-panby-pony-princess* end quote* , a dragon non the less, and not just any dragon. I love the show, I love this story but reading that felt like a kick in the nuts. I really hate it when people keep confusing immortality with Longevity. I'm pretty sure Celestia bleeds like everyone else [ or the show would not exist] and Im sure a .50 through the skull would do the job.
Make celestia FEAR Spyro!
469590 im amazed that i didnt knpw you straight away i love your fic but anyway. writing a crossover is hard depending on he situations you put the characters in.. like mastercheif vs equestria or a blacksmith from n online video game trying to make a living in equestria. i just find to manyu niverse traits clashing. like in the first if the magic between spyros word and equestria is different like how it is. unless the portal is still there leaking his magic then he has to lear to use magic again and the gems in this world wont work. because this worlds might not hold the same magic he uses an could poison him and thats why i hate writing crossovers but love em at the same time
468294>>469590
I appreciate feedback on how I've been handling this, but there is a line I have to teeter on. We all know about the characters from cross overs from their pros and cons, thus making it easy to write them into the FiM world. What makes this hard for most of us, is as far as Celestia and Luna, do we make them into all powerful goddess as the pony portray them to be? Or is their abilities merely being able to move vast celestial planets i.e. the sun and the moon?
For everything we have seen from FiM, we really do not have a much of a back story behind Celestia and Luna. Other then they ruled Equestria for centuries, dealt with Discord, fought with each other, then made up for lost time. Are they immortal? Do alicorns have abnormally long life spans? We create what we think they have or have not and go with our best judgement.
I don't want to make Celestia too powerful while Spyro is weak and vice versa. I'm sure I can find a balance and tip the scales more evenly, but would every person who reads this agree with me? Just one of those debates, I suppose.
473116 A balance is all I'm asking. Thank you.
473116 i agree with Azzazel a balance would be nice. or you could tip the odds in spyros favour because Celestia doesnt have the elements of harmony anymore. seeing as she had to use them to beat Night mare Moon and Discord and she's using her ponies to make the other nations and spyro think she's a goddess so theres no commotion between them. like a self defence mechanism where she makes it look like she has power but she really doesnt. idk. but either will work, and if you do make Celestia Stronger i wouldn't mind but it wouldn't be as believeable for me.
473116
I think you should do whats best for the Story. Since you are the Author, and as of now the only one who knows how the tory will go on, you should keep that in mind. In the end, its your choice. But if you ask:
I would also say a bit more balance is right, but dont overdo it. Saying that spyro "wouldnt mess up celestias hair" is probably making him to weak, but i wouldnt take it to far in the other direction either. Keep in mind that i may be biased, since i am a far bigger MLP than spyro fan, and cant really stand it if someone makes the princesses look to weak. Wether or not the pricesses are divine or truly immortal isnt really the matter, regarding to power i would say that spyro is probably stronger than "not touching her hair", bur probably still quite i bit below them. So i would put at celestia maybe being suprised at his power, and could maybe take some (but not fatal or disabling)damage if she let her guard down/was suprised/whatever, but still being the clear winner in any kind of direct fight.
Nice story, you're making me want to play my Spyro games again, the only problem is I'm kind of missing a tv, and my playstation.
Keep up the good work, wondering how Spyro goes about this whole "collar" business.
473116 Well in honesty Celestia kinda sucks....... She loses to Nightmare Moon she loses to Discord she loses to Chrysalis I mean for all powerful sun godess she doesn't seem to be winning a whole lot of fights or even one for that matter.
Seriously just once i'd like to see Celestia just kick ass and not get beaten effortlessly in the show but it keeps happening over and over again
488736
Yeah, I've been noticing this as of late, having finished watching the wedding finale a few hours earlier.
>.> Think Celestia needs to lay off the cake and start whipping herself into a benevolent, but "Don't F-buysomeapples! with me or my ponies." attitude.

Waiting for new chapter!
cant read past beggening of the beggening D:
468175 she is immortal to age but, Gods can bleed. Anything that bleeds can die.
A God is immortal, but it can bleed
falling to death's touch in a time of need.
Darkness can die, but will plant its seed
where it will grow in hate, desire, and greed.
An ideal will last forever. Take heed:
It's not what you do, but how you proceed.
Hah! Princess Celestia has NO idea who she's dealing with. Immortal or not.
I can see it now due to Celestia being a complete bitch Dark Spyro is gonna come and play cause Gods are the ones who don't bleed immortals can.

God I hate Celestia. Not because of this fic. I just always have. She always has alterior motives. Dark Spyro will so rip or break that armband. After all Spyro used his powers to save an ENTIRE PLANET! That broke apart! So Spyro obviously has more power then that bitc- Celestia.
Celestia being rough on a guest from another world just because he wanted some answers to the secrets she held from him..
Celestia talks big for some one who got beat by an over grown cricket.
Celestia needs to learn not to mess with Spyro
Dangit spyro. You took all that time to get there and be heard and then you just give up... Sigh
"Travesties your world would not survive one of them ???"
I hardly doubt that. I may not be the biggest Spyro fan but I know for a fact that he has been through a lot worse than Celestia has.
Me in the hallway to the courtyard: Hey Spyro, don't worry I'll try to help you out.
Goes into courtyard and sees this: x100(power/rage)
Me: You're on your own, pal. Nice knowing you.
