//------------------------------// // Celestias heart for her subjects // Story: Fear Itself // by Moon Quil //------------------------------// Months of madness and destruction from Fears hand, villages destroyed, ponies murdered in cold blood, and souls eaten by that monster Celestia's heart grows heavy with guilt and heartache. she cries in her room as Silver Lightning walks in and sees her and goes to her. Lightning says to her, "Princess are you alright?". Celestia with tears in her eyes her cheeks soaked with her tears and red says, "The guilt, my heart is so heavy with the guilt of those poor souls that monster slaughtered, all those children and families. And it all my fault if only I didn't have that idea to do this they all could have been alive!". Celestia sighs as she looks at the sky, her tears hit the ground below her. Silver goes to her and stands next to her to cheer her up, he says, "We have sent our best to defeat this creature, and I have no doubt he will fall before us.". Celestia looks at him with a smile and gets up with a sigh of contentment and looks at him and says, " Thank you Silver Lightning, I know you are trying but I want that monster dead so that those souls he has eaten can be rest in peace knowing he will suffer for all that he has done to them and all who he has slaughtered." Celestia stomps her hoof on the ground in anger. Silver looks at her and says, "Well said princess he will pay and those who have suffered will rest in peace. Come, princess, your subjects need you to give them courage in this darkest of hours.". Celestia nods and puts on her crown and wears and they trot out of her room. They reach the throne room and they hear a horn go off as a guard from the army sent after fear comes back alone. he is injured horribly. Celestia runs to the injured unicorn and helps him up. She asks, "what happened?!?!". The guard's horn is in the guard's back shoved far into his body puncturing his organs. his eyes bleeding and his body is all cut up with a message from fear it says, "Is this all you can offer dear mother Celestia? This is beginning to bore me having to deal with all these guards and armies doesn't give me a challenge. So please do better I hunger for some more souls that are worth my time. But don't worry mother we will have fun soon, and I shall send you off from your throne with your body slowly ripped in two and your screams in the hall and your soul, your delicious soul eaten by me. sincerely, fear." Celestia with fear shook her eyes right down to her soul, and tears fill up her eyes. Silver looks at her and with anger, he says, "Get this colt in the infirmary and get as many guards as you can I will personally bring fear to his knees and end this once and for all!". Celestia looks at him with tears and says, "No you will not he will end you as he did with the last army, I fear we have no more options." Lightning looks at her and says, "Fear has to be stopped, Princess Celestia! He has destroyed our Villegas, and he is making your subjects suffer every day! he must be stopped and if I have to go alone as your captain of the royal guard I will!". Celestia with anger says to him, "As your Princess, I order you to remind yourself of your position and stay here! This monster is too strong if anything I will deal with him myself with an army of my own.". Celestia leaves the throne room and commands an army and her gear ready to head out at dawn. The morning sun rises as Celestia and her army march forth along with Silver lightning to help. They march forth to face a monster that has slaughtered innocent lives too high to count, Celestia's heart grows heavy with sadness and regret, this foul creature must die tonight. In a burning kingdom, the sky burning with red clouds and raining blood on the bodies laid on the blood-soaked dirt and rock. A foul beast grunt on the floor roaring in pain as its body changes horns growing out of his head, his teeth sharpened to fangs sharp as metal, and his nails grow long and sharp. The creature laughs as he feels the pain and he punched the ground it shook the very earth beneath him, Fears power, his form, Celestia's nightmare turned into reality he stands on the throne of a ripped-apart royal pony. He sits and grins and he says with a smile, "So mother wants to come and play? Very well, I will give her the time of her life." he laughs as he watches the blood rain from the sky above the ruined kingdom. This may be fears final days or the end of Celestia's rule. To be continued.
