//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: World of Disharmony: Darknesses Embrace // by Polaris Solarmoon //------------------------------// Chapter 1 Darkness...,it lies within the hearts and souls of everything and everyone, even the most innocent of hearts have darkness within them, I should know because I was once one myself. An innocent and naive pony who once cared for others, but then, I had found that there was darkness within me and I had decided to share this gift with my friends and now, we rule over everything with an iron grip, I watched with glee as cities fell before our might, countries cower before us and even castles crumble beneath our hooves, some may say we were monsters, others say we were devils, wanna know what I say... We are the Elements of Destruction and we are unstoppable! - Empress Flutterscare, Queen of All Equestra. I remember it like it was yesterday, yet it was only a few years ago, I was such a kind and naive pony back then. I was so shy back then that it sickens me to think about it right now! Never the less, let me at least say that I don't fucking care about that part of me anymore, I am much better than that now, I'm the ruler of all Equestra for crying out loud,but I'm getting off topic, it's time I told you all how I became the Dark Empress of all Equestra. It was another beautiful day in Ponyville, I was currently at home watering some flowers that I had planted the other day when my friend Rainbow Dash came up to me. "Hey Fluttershy, the girls and I are having another pet playdate today, you wanna come?" she says in her usual tone. "I don't know, I have tea with Discord today, and I think Angel is sick, so I can't go." I said. "Aww man, I guess I'll have to tell the girls that your not coming." I hear Rainbow Dash say before she flew away. Discord..., I remember the day we had first met, he had temporarily corrupted myself and my friends in an attempt to rule over Equestra but he eventually was defeated by the Elements of Harmony, he was the one that inspired me to corrupt my friends when I had gotten rid of my weaker self, I had imprisoned the weaker me within the very Element of Destruction that I wear now, all she does now is cry like the weakling she is, but I'm getting off topic again, back to my story. After Rainbow left, I went inside my cottage and prepared for Discord's arrival. It didn't take long for him to appear, only a few minutes which was enough time for me to set the table. "Hello my dear Fluttershy, how are you today." Discord says in his usual cheerful tone. "Oh Hello Discord, I'm so glad you came!" I said. "Of course Fluttershy, I enjoy our little get togethers from time to time." Discord says as he spawns a cup from out of nowhere. I then get my own cup and then I poured out our tea. "So,Fluttershy is there anything new going on with you and your friends that I don't know?" Discord asks me before taking a sip of tea from his cup. "Nothing much really." I had said. " Oh...,very well then." Discord said. "Discord." I said. "Yes" he says after taking another sip of tea. "I'm tired..." I say as I put down my tea cup. "Tired of what exactly?" Discord said. His curiosity was his downfall, because right then I had told him," Of doing the same thing over and over again." "What do you mean?" He asked. "Remember when you made me cruel, I felt like I was in a bad dream when it happened..., then I felt like I could do anything,and nopony could push me around anymore, for some reason i... felt... good..." I had trailed off for a little and then I had finished what I was saying," I felt good." Next thing Discord knew, I was surrounded by darkness, the very darnkness that lied within my heart, it wasn't enough to make me look like how I do now, but it did make Discord cower in fear. "I want to feel that way again, and your going to help me." I had said as I slow crept towards him. "And what if I don't?" Discord asks. "Then I'll make you!" were the last words he heard before I had pounced on him. I then forced Discord to use his power on me once more, making once again the cruel being that he made me before. Now no longer the weakling that I was , I knocked out Discord and stole his power. I then used it to turn him to stone. It was then that I realized that I could now use this power to corrupt my friends and take over all Equestria without any rivals to stop me. So I did, I first went to Twilight's home, she will be the first pony I'll corrupt as she poses the biggest threat to my plans. I found that her dumb dragon was sleeping in front of the castle door and simply flew through the window leading up to her room. Luckily she was nose deep in a book so she never noticed my new form so I made sure to make myself look normal so she wouldn't suspect a thing. I even made sure to act like my old self as well or she'd find my sudden assertiveness suspicious. "Hi Fluttershy, where were you?" she says completely unaware of my intentions. "Oh, um I was at home having tea with Discord." I told her. "Was it another tea day today?" Twilight asked. "Yes, um T-twilight c-can I ask you a question?" I said. It was now time to put my plan into motion. "Sure go ahead." Twilight says cheerfully. "Aren't you tired of doing the same thing over and over again?" I asked Twilight while slowly trotting closer to her. "What do you mean?" Twilight said. "Think about it, we've saved the day so many times now,don't you think that it's time for a change?" I say as I put my hoof on her back. "Why are you telling me this?" Twilight said. "Because I'm sick and tired of being nice and quiet all the time Twilight!" I said. "What?! But that's what makes you... well you, why would you want to change that?" Twilight asked as I then put my hoof on her horn. "Oh my naive little friend, why indeed, how about you ask yourself?" I told her as I channeled my power into her horn. "Wait Fluttershy, what are you doing? I..i...no feel.. good." Twilight said,I noticed that her speech was slipping ever towards the speech that my right hoof minion Sparkle Duskmoon has now. I watched as Twilight changed before my eyes, her mane became messy and her cutie mark changed into a black star, her wings stayed the same however, but her eyes now looked in two different directions, Sparkle Duskmoon was born. "Who...,Who you?" the now memory less Twilight said. I turned into my real form and said, " I am Flutterscare, your new mistress, you must do what I say when I say it , got it!?" "Kk, who me?" Twilight asked. "You can be my minion, as for your name it shall be Sparkle Duskmoon." I told her. "Sparkle.... Dusk... Moon?" the newly named Sparkle Duskmoon said. "Yes, that is your name now." I said happy with how she came out. "Yay, Sparkle Duskmoon happy!" Sparkle Duskmoon says cheerfully. "Perfect.." I say before laughing maniacally. [chapter one end.]
