The sun goddess was amused. Had Shining Armour hit his head on a rock a few too many times? The princess smirked and leisurely trotted over to Twilight’s unconscious form. She was stirring a bit as if she were having a dream. She smirked because she knew she could conveniently use her sister’s dream scrying spell to disprove the captain's preposterous claim.
The sun goddess’s horn lit up in a golden aura before she motioned her head at Twilight with an amused smirk.
“So this isn’t Twilight Sparkle?” she asked in a snide manner. Shining Armour only continued his distant glare prompting the alicorn to grunt in annoyance. “We’ll see if your words hold any merit... Even from you, this is a little far fetched.”
Her horn’s glow flared once and the smug expression she was wearing fell instantly into one of shock and disbelief. Celestia would have believed that this was Twilight Sparkle if she’d dreamed anything... anything but this...
Humanity was a closely guarded secret that few ponies even knew a whisper of. There were few times when Princess Celestia cursed magic. This time though, it was her own use of it that she cursed specifically. This couldn’t possibly be Twili-
No. Just no.
Twilight must have found some kind of scroll or something during one of her trips into the Canterlot Archives. That completely explains th-
Her thoughts halted at the next two thoughts. One: Even if Twilight had found a scroll or book on them, it couldn’t have possibly held enough info to cause a dream this vivid. The sun goddess made sure to have the information scattered to make sure they were truly forgotten. Two: The emotions being given off by this dream were misplaced...
Being in somepony else’s dreamscape puts you into the whims of the dreamers emotions. As such, the emotions to be caused by said dream. In Twilight, it would have provoked first curiosity, then shock, then horror, and finally pity. The emotions here were those of regret, extreme guilt, sympathy, and dread. The chaos in the human settlement stopped and the multiplied as something streaked across the sky and exploded when it hit the ground producing a shock wave that consumed every living thing... It was the end of the world... or at least the human world... in dream form but probably not literally.
How could Twilight dream of this...
As much as the alicorn thought this, her logical side asked why she kept trying to convince her self against the obvious. Suddenly, memories flashed before her. She quickly flashed her horn once more to probe the feeling of Twilight’s magical aura. This was a sure fire way to tell whether or not this was Twilight. Magic is directly stemmed from the soul and there is no mistaking the presence of somepony’s soul from somepony else’s.
Suddenly Celestia felt a cold chill run up her spine. She felt something she didn’t expect but found herself dreading. It was the unmistakable feeling of humanity... As much as she wished it were...
...this is not Twilight Sparkle.
However... It is her body. That much is certain.
Suddenly all thoughts halted as one more entered her mind...
With the current evidence... the human in Canterlot could very well be Twilight Sparkle as she says she is. The princess started to silently shed tears as the next though went through her mind.
And if it is Twilight, she’s been on the receiving end of countless methods of torture in trying to find out something she’s apparently been telling Shining since day one. All because of the possible human before her.
Her anger flared and her face wore a snarl in freeze frame. It was at this time that she noticed that the bodysnatcher was awake and afraid...
...Just as she should be.
In a desert and in Equestria, two large portals open up. Beings from beyond this realm start to come out with mighty machines of war and peace. They prepare to fight in order to save the place they call home. If that is to fail, they will take land to make home in order to shelter their old, sick, and young alike in order to make sure their species lives on. At one portal, a small village is in the distance across the plain of sand dunes and rock. On the other side of the other, lies a large forest clearing overlooking a mountain with a city that seemed to hang of its side. Ponykind continues to live their day unaware of the threat that lies in wait for an order to attack. This order is one both sides will wish is not given.
More short chapters...

This order is one both sides hope will not be given; This order is one both sides will wish hadn't been given; This order is one that both sides will hope will not be given.
Ponykind continues to go about its day unaware of the lurking threat that merely waits for the order to attack. ??
At one portal, a small village is in the distance, visible across a plain of rocks and sand dunes. On the far side of the other portal lies a large forest clearing, which overlooks a city that seems to hang off the side of a mountain.
All of these are merely suggestions, and I believe that they sort of highlight the grammar/tense stuff. Maybe. Take them with a grain of salt?
And you are aware of the proofreader/editor groups that you could troll for varying levels of competent helpers, yeah?
...Then Celestia finds out that it's the end of their world. Literaly.
Celestia realizes what she has done to poor Twilight... and immediately places the blame on another.
Time for a relevant Gargoyles quote!
-Demona, later John Canmore, and now perhaps Celestia?
Now comes the realization of her sins and how she tries to pass it onto another innocent, typical
And out of the west, there's a low pressure zone moving in giving us a 120% chance of a shit storm.
I can imagine a couple portals with tanks, trucks and troops flooding out of them as they create a perimeter and HQ. Then shift focus to the nearest village and demand surrender I guess. Then bring a couple or three nukes with them just in case. Meanwhile Earth should be literally throwing everything they have at the asteroid in an act of both defiance and desperation.
You know you could have used the scrying magic on the prisoner from the beggining to verify her story, instead of relentess torture; right, Celly?
2003847 With that bit, I was mostly talking about people online. There's something about being anonymous that makes people want to be an asshole. I'm not saying everyone does this, but it's a pretty large number. Now I can't say I'm innocent either, back when I was younger I would do the same thing. In the real world however, people tend to be decent people, with exceptions generally being frowned upon.
Also, I can see why your name is Humanist.
