Pink hooves shuffled through the overhanging dark, cold eyes peering ahead without a trace of aimlessness.
She gave her impossibly wide wings a quick shuffle, not for any purpose, but rather out of instinct, as she crossed from the desolate wasteland into the enclave of what in another life had been a building.
Her horn burned not with a warm glow, but with an all-encompassing chill. Not that such a thing would have ever been able to affect her. The freezing temperature concerned her as little as the swirling snow that dared not graze her flesh.
The streets of Canterlot—if they could still be called streets—were as silent as the dead and moonless black sky above. The world had fallen silent—not even a distant vulture's call sounding out the last traces of some former life. Even the howling wind and eternally swirling snow were not permitted to drone into the empty void.
The only sound in the perfect dark was a slight crunching as her hooves trodded over what was once the enveloping window of Pony Joe's Café.
The tall alicorn stepped over cracked remains of diner tables and crunched a large pile of spilled coffee beans from what had once been a proud and beautiful display. She continued walking with an emotionless frown, her thoughts elsewhere and everywhere.
Eventually she reached her destination. The entire café looked like it had survived every disaster known to Equestria—which, the alicorn smiled mirthlessly, wasn't too far from the truth.
Still, the grave of a diner booth was present, and with a careless flare of magic, Equus' goddess brought it back to its former being. A perfectly polished café booth amidst an eternal wasteland of death and darkness.
"Enjoying your choiceless nap, princesses?" Flurry Heart whispered a cooing question to herself with a sly smile. "Welcome to my hell."
"She is so cute!" Luna gushed at the sleeping alicorn filly.
Celestia giggled. "She makes such a fuss about going to sleep, and now look at her. Grinning like crazy."
"We should fillysit for Cadance more often!" Luna breathed. Then, her magic flared.
"What are you doing?" Celestia cocked her head.
"Just hopping into her dreams for a moment. I can only imagine what innocent little fantasy world she dreamed up."
I knew it! She is Evil!!!
=|
What?
We have to shoot rainbow power to her!
7069002 It's just a phase.
Winter is coming
You know, I really hope this is going to be a thing-that the real reason Alicorn's must ascend rather than be born is that they are irredeemably evil otherwise. I don't even have a problem with Flurry Heart, really other than I want more evil alicorns that aren't obviously evil thrown in.
I watched that video before it was cool.
and I made the joke of her being the Destroyer of Worlds just yesterday.
...I had the image of the wastland from Meet the Pyro, just icy instead of fire. I like.
7069002 All children are. Toddlers are simply better at it. Trust me on this, those spawn are demonic dictators ready to suck out your soul. When they're not being such adorable angels.
Well that was DARK!
now i really want to see Luna's reaction next chapter...
I need more of this
Be careful when asking questions like that; you might just get the answer you were asking for.
7069697 Whey do you say that? I curd disagree here, but I think I'd get creamed in a real pun battle. It's not like I'm dairying you to do that, though. It's best to not try, least we create a Muenster.
Children are all evil little bastards no matter what. Seriously they are all little sociopaths for a long time. Don't believe just watch them, they have no regard for other life till they are older.
Tia: So... how was it? What did you see.
Luna remains silent with a horrified expression.
Tia: Luna, are you well?
Queen Mab is risen!
Tia: Tell me what's wrong!
Luna: Well, she takes after me. . . .
I called it, I knew she was a Lovecratin horror in the making or at least Mandy from Grim Adventures either which wont surprise me because of Flurry's enlarged horn and wings (seriously who designed her? Rob Liefeld?). Plus her powers being winter, I fear she might bring an new ice age to all of Equestria...*shivers*.
Maybe she holds the power of the Windigos.
7072188 that would explain the lone changeling...
I mean the lovebug is as far from wendigo as you can be for a being that want to ruin your day.
After reading that title, I immediately wanted to play this. It's one of my favorite tracks out of any video game:
After reading the story, I think the track would be great to listen to while reading.
Either the title is a mere coincidence, or you, DoloresThePhony, have played Donkey Kong Country.
Cool story, by the way.
7070254 Nah. This is too much for Mab. Book four is all I'm going to say on the matter.
3 2 1 AHHHHHHHH SHES A MONSTER RUN * a luna shaped hole appears in a wall lol
7069249 Anyone who says human beings are born basically good and are later corrupted by their upbringing and surroundings need only look to the two-year-old to find the counterargument.
In her house in Equestr'ya, dread Flurry Heart lies dreaming. Flurry fhtagn! Flurry fhtagn!
Dark humor is like food, not everyone gets it.
But yes, this is exactly what came to mind when they took a being of extreme power, named it after a natural disaster it caused, in a world where the destiny of their species is usually tied to their name.
Hmm, but how long will it take Luna to convince Cadance and Shining that their kid is insane?
Well...looks like we have a REAL empress now. A powerful, possibly evil empress, but an empress nonetheless.
I accept this head-canon
...
I'm scared.
Flurry is me irl yo. Like, frightenly so.
Mother, you can make two ponies kiss. I make two ponies huddle for warmth as they try to prolong the enevidible.
7430498
Yush!
Luna No! You'll be scarred for the rest of eternity!
7069796
Ain't that the truth.
7069773
Wow... Gouda puns, my friend.
well that is certainly ominous, but also extremely in line with my characterization of Flurry Heart
