Dawn’s Break

by Chemtest


Preparations. But who for?

—(Dawnbreaker)—

I glare out over my town, my capital! Thrown into riot by the uneducated populous who fear those pitiful ‘revolutionaries’! So what if a few ponies died!? They should know they cannot do anything to me!

I look to my side, and grab my sword, ‘Sun’s Peak’. I swish it around in the air, and create that beautiful sound of slashing. Mayhaps these simpletons need to be tought that I am strong... a few rioters killed wouldn’t make that much a difference. Let’s make it at least ten percent.

I’m about to fly out into the city when the door bursts open, “Queen!”

I turn around, and glare at the guard that entered, “You had better have a good excuse for barging in without warning.”

The guard nods frantically, “The screaming started again, Queen! I alerted you as soon as I heard it!”

I nod slowly, “Alright, I guess you can live then. After all, you did as I asked.” I fly out of the door towards the meeting room.

I open the door, and enter in, “̛̲̹̙͇̜͂ͥ́D̨͔̖͇͖͍̋͋ạ̴͙̩ͣ̇́̒̊ͅw̦͓̦̻̫̹͔̎ͥͤ͊́͞n̷̡͔͚͛͒͛ͪ͗ͥ̐b͚̥͇̜̫̘͖ͬ̾̊̑ͤr̸̡̘͖͔̪̍̄̍̓e̶͚̭̩̼̩̓̈̎͂̃͌͡a̵̡ͪ̃̑҉̳̦̙͇̟̦̤ͅͅk͇͎̰͎̻̺̩̊̏̌́ͤͤ̑ͤ̆e̷̠̖̠̞ͥ̄ŗ͕͚͙̮̏ͪ̈͜͠,̨͕̳̭͈͓̗̰ͯ͂ͮ͆̍̆̂̚͜ ̏̈́͛͋ͤ̒̊̎͏͏̳̯̟̳̮̻͙h̟̫̩̗̯̮̮͛̄͆̂ͣ̈́͒̚ơ͖̫͎͈ͪͧͪͦ͟w̨͔͕̮͙̘̱̌̽͛̅͒̑ ̶͎̗̭̞͚͓͙̼̟ͩ̒ͧ͌̈̂ͧ̔g͕̭̪͕̻̱ͫ͑͗͆̀͊̇͝o̧͎̲͕̯̹̓̈́͑͛̿̓̇ͅȩ͕̼̖̏ͨ̋ͥͥ͒ͬͤ́͜ş͖̘̗̃͒ͫ̌͞͝ͅ ͈̦̟̗̞͙̿ͫ̈́͌̓̀̚t̞̱̦̗ͨͤ͛̒́̄̈̕h͉͎ͧ̾̽e̲̖̬̞̯̭̦̘̫ͥ̔ͧ ̨̝͉͇̼͍̠ͯͬ͑̃̓̋̄́ṗ̡̦͇̲͖̑̎̇ͧ͐̂̓l̴̼̪͗ͮ̌͒̏̿ͦ͋ͩ̕a̼̥͙̻ͭ͞͞n̶̤̥̪̭̟̙̯̯͆͛̉̈́̍͢?̵̡͓̦̰̦̞̔̄͗͒̓͝”̐̿̒̽̄ͤ̎͛͏̵͏̰͈”

I quickly bow, not being stupid enough to look at him, “All should go well. The Scientist has created a Rake creature, as he calls it, and it’s sacrifice should accelerate your enternce. The Creators themselves don’t even know what’s going on.”

I can feel the room almost melt at the anger out off, “̡͖͕̙͔͎̼̗͢ͅD̶̪̥͝o̵̥͕̼̪͜ ҉̼͍̙͚̯̮̣͞n̷͓̙ͅo̸̧̦̝̥͎̣̱t̸̳̭̳͍͢ ̦͎̝̱l̬͈i̗̻͍͜e҉̠̗̫͖̀ͅ ͙̘͕͍͍͔ͅt͈͈̱̖̬̘̙̗̝o̫̭͚̖̱͟ ҉̩̥m̷͈͓̠̝͙͙e̛̥͉͕̲̤,̷̧̪̟̪̹̻͙̹̭͍̕ ͔͙̫̭̕͞p̶̡̘̞͍a̵͖̫̣͈͈͢w̵͇͔͈̻̘͕͘ǹ̞̫̦͔̝!̻͎̘̩̥̦̖̥ ͎̩̬͎̠̘̀I͕̬̠̤̖̪ͅ ̺͈́c͕̲͟à̞̺̟̬̣͟͡ͅn̸̤̭̝̼͇͚̕͠ ͎͓̲̜̫̰̬͟h̨̠̪̯̱̪e̞͇͉̟̘͜ą̥̤̞̞̦͔͈̞͘͟r̩ͅ ̰̜̪̪̞͢ͅͅţ̷͏̠̦̜̦h̷̭̘͖̣̲̝̣͜e̶͎̳̻̖̭̭͈͘ͅ ̛̥̘͚̦͙s̴̸̼͍o̥͔͔̟͓̙̙͙̣͝u̢̠̮̙͉͍̦̘n̳͈̩̯͉̞̩͝͡d̻͉̦̬͎͎͈s̕͏̛̦̪̬̺̤̞̖̲ͅ ̙͈͠o̜̹͕̤̰͢f̦̲̫̀ ̤͕̫̲͖͖͉͝r̲͎̣i͏̫̠̻̠̞͍o͎͉͔͈̻̞̮͉t͙̠̮̯̼s̗̻ ͖̫̲̣̼̰̻͔̠o͖̬̬̬̝u̹̝̩̯̝͘ͅt͎̪͍̗̫͙͟s͖͔̟̤̺̰͜i̸̧̖͔̳͔̬ͅd̙̞͖͓͝ȩ̶̜͕̖̹̫̱ͅ!̥̟̰͎̦͝ ͇͓̱͇͜͠N̵͔̟̬o͎̹ẉ̬̜͢,̵͇͔͓͠ ̨͓̜̣̮t̼̻̫͓̹̲͍͞ȩ̵̶̳̬l͚͓͓̬̖͟l̛̳̯͝ ͡͏̠̬͚̦̳͚̭̯m̡̫̬͍͍͚̗̞ḙ̫͎̫̙̻͖̕͞,̲͍̬̪͡ ̨̢̯̝̙ͅẁ͖͇̰͉̬̮̹͜h̵̤͉̞̟̩̪̝̻͡e̘̱͕̲ͅṋ̷̸͉̥̭͚͈͚̳̖͠ ̢͉̭͇͔̰͙̬̀s̷̙̟̣͚̜h̢̬̫̟͇͍̝ͅo̻͚̘͉͎͓̗͘u͏̫̻̠̲̼͕͖l̨̩̬d͚͍̣̼̩͈͘͡ ̷͖͚͞t̷̟̻h̬̹̘͖̰̱e̷̙̫̭̺̻͚ ̴̢̻̟͇̗̮̮p̷̭̠̼̳̝̺̗̘͝a̸̗̜̹̪ͅt̘͓̣̮̖̠̦̻h͍͔ ҉͏̵̰͇̹̝͍̠̖̳ͅt̯̩̺̳̪͇o͍͕̟̘̲̭͠ ̙͟e̟̬͔͈̖͟͞n͎̙̫͕̖̹t̹̙͢ͅe̡̥̰̙r̢̹͖͔̣̞ ҉̟̞̪̟b͓̖̮͡͞e̳̣͎ͅͅ ̟̝̳̫̲̞̩̣͢͜c̙̰̬̀l̴̛͚̰ͅe̱͕̰a̕͡҉͉̙r͏͖̣͝?̹̗̥͢”̹̰̼͘”

I nod quickly, and oxygen returns to the room, “You should be free within the month, once I have sacrificed these so called ‘revolutionaries’. After that, I shall open the gateway. He who hides behind the walls shall hide no more!”

I hear a dark, echoing laugh, “̷̨̫̣̹T̸̷̬̣̭̣̟͚͍h̨̡̬̺̙̤͡i̧̛̖͜s̸̢͏̮̘̜̱ ̠͖͓̻̖̝į̶̭̘̫̰̣͍̲͇̼͘s̼͈ ̢͕̗a̢͏̛̪͉͚͖̖͕͙̞s̯̙̗̱̦̠̭̭͢ͅş͇͇͉̲̼̖̩̹̼u̡̜̤̕ͅm̴̱̬͠ę̫͖͙͎͓͝į̩͙̥̱ń͓̞̳̻̥̤͢g͉̤̜̰͇ ̩͖͕̟̣y̴҉̡̟̮̯̗͓o̭̖̼̕͠u̵̬̳̲̪̦̲̤̕ ̼̪̤͕̝͔͢ͅl̴̤̥͉̮̜͡i̭͟͢v̨̤̙̀͞e̩̦͇̻͖,͜͏̥̳̺̫ ̦̠̯̣̜͉̦o̗̤̗͉̜͘f̶̭̜̼̫̯̲̹̞̭ ̷̶̦̤̱͠c̗ͅo͡҉͇̠̦͞u̸̪̩͍̱̖͕͎ͅŕ̙͕̹͕͜s̢̪̟͔̦̰̫͟͞e̠̪͙͙̦̪̺.̡͈̺̳̹͇̱̟̩̩ ̺̙̼I̛͉̜͖̳̹̖͞ ̸̦͚̙͈̠͈̞̳͕͜͢m̶̺̙͇̝͟͞ͅù͏͎̩̻͕̻͙̣̹̣s҉̘̹ţ̯̪̮͎͕̣̱̭ ͙̠͈͍̳g̶̖͚̗̪̹͜o̢͍̠̲̩̝͎̮̜ ̼̦͉͈̤̬̜͘͝ń̶͉̞͟o̢͈̱̪͘w͝͏҉̜̥̙͖͇̮̤ͅͅ,͏̼̫̜̫̮̗ ̵̗͔̘̞̮͚̕I̲̖͔͡ ̶̰̖̖̯ḙ͚̘̖͙͔̤͡ͅx̡̥̮̰̣̱͉̠͝p̥̠̞͢e̻̦͢c͎͈ț̛̫̘ ̶̢̣̟̱͉̼͉̞y̡̧̖͘ọ̜̦͙́͜u̧̞̳̩ ͉̯̯ṱ̹̗̰͚͈̱̫o̷̞͓͔͔̺̠̲̻ ͉̤̞̟͇͉̬̫͠͡ḥ̢͉͇̖̠̼͠o҉̵̙̭͙̤͘l̩̤͎ḏ͇̳ ̨̟̥̳̤̯̜u̴̯͙̻̬͕̤͉p̨̫̖͉͚͙̗̹͢ ̴̸̛̲̠̼̺̥ͅo̸͈̖̕͡n҉͍̳ͅ ̡̺͇͉̺͙͔͙̭̙y̷͠ͅó̵̪u̶̬͈̯̠̠̫͔͖r̞͙̩ ̧̧̪̘͇̞͇c̦̗̟̀͘l̵̦̦͉̭̟̬͙a͔̹ḭ̧̞̯̖̹̼͚m̵̗̗̯̭̀̀,̯̭̹̰͢͜ ͍̰̘͓̹͖́ͅp̸̴̺̭ą̯͚͘͟w͕̳̰̠͘͜n̺ͅ!̢̬̞̥̮̳͔”̮̻̤̲͢

With that, he disappears, and I walk out of the room. I need to accelerate his entry, but first, first comes these revolutionaries.
