//------------------------------// // Plot // Story: My Love Eternal // by Hopelessromantic //------------------------------// Bad day.... It was a very bad day... Darkness consumed every corner of the once beautiful crystal palace, which could mean only one thing... King Sombra was in a foul mood.... —————————— —————————- ~Fluttershy~ “Simply outrageous!” “My king, if I could...” “He won’t even see me! We are supposed to be ruling this kingdom together!” Sombra ranted. He was pacing back and forth on the basis of his obsidian black throne. Red jewels engraved on the throne shook with each boom of his deep velvet voice. “This is getting absolutely ridiculous!” He cried his black long hair bounced with each step he took back and forth, his armor glittered in the Moring sunshine, but his cape. His cape lay beneath his throne... it really must be a very bad day to put his beloved cape on the floor. “My king, what will you have me do?” A woman with rainbow hair tied into a bun on top of her head asked. Rainbow Dash. Captain of the royal guard. The crystal empires fearless warrior, loyal only to the king and the throne. And my only true friend in this whole empire. “Nothing.” The shadow king replied. “Nothing!? But....” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. “Yes, nothing! We can’t do anything!” Sombra announced, not breaking his pacing. Rainbow gripped her sword, I saw the white of her knuckles. Something is bothering her. She wipes her head to me. “Fluttershy there must be something, right? Your the organizer! You must know!” “No, I don’t know what to do..and you know that’s not my job.” I softly tell her. She was particularly right in a way. I did organize things, but not they way she’s making it seem. I took care of the prisoners, or what the king calls them, slaves. I fed them, talked to them, trained with them, gave them hope of a better life, when there was only darkness. “But...” Rainbow stammered. “Enough, there is nothing we can do...Discord will see me when he wants to it would seem.” Sombra said while coming to a complete stop and taking a seat in his throne. His eyes flashing a bright green. “It just makes me upset knowing that he outrights refuse to see me....Rainbow, you are free to return to your post.” “Yes sir.” Rainbow bowed and turned to leave and as she opens the door, I notice that she hasn’t released her grip on the handle of her sword. She’s angry, but why this is hardly anything to be upset about. Everyone knows that King Discord sees who he wants to see. I have never seen nor met King Discord, most of the people in the three kingdoms never seen him either, but we can speculate from the rumors. The say he is cruel, killing people for fun, and that he has powers that could bring the gods to their knees. Some say he is old and intelligent, older than time itself. Some say he is so insane that he killed everyone in his castle because somone dropped a fork. But none of these rumors were ever deemed true. The King of Shadow growled. I looked up towards him. Our eyes met. I gulped. “Fluttershy, do you know why I called you here?” He asked me. I looked down, letting my long pink hair fall over my face. I shook my head slightly. “Surly you must know it has nothing to do With my slaves, though they are coming along quit while I presume..” He stated while propping his chin on a fist. “Y-yes they a-are.... but I d-don’t understand why I need t-to help Rainbow Dash train them in w-weapons, I thought they are to build houses, n-not fight.” I stammered weakly, my hands fisted together. “Yes they are, but I have another use for them, but it’s not the time for that.” He says to me waving a hand in the air dismissing the fact of slaves. “As I hope you know my concern with Discord, I am losing land to the cold of the north, and he is refusing to see me or give me more land” I know this already. Many people are also leaving to the kingdom of Changelings to escape slavery. Those who do escape and survive the journey to the Changeling kingdom are never heard of again. 50/50 chance if you ask me. “Yes I k-know.” I look up. What does this have to do with me I think to myself. “So when he accepts my request of a meeting with Chrysalis and him to talk about said land, I will make a proposition.” Sombra says while keeping his eyes locked on me. I don’t understand. “My king, what does this have to do with me? I would understand this being said to Captain Rainbow Dash but why me?” I ask my brows furrowed with confusion. His eyes flared, I realize I grew to confident with my questions. I lower my head once more. “I heard from a little bird that you have a younger brother in the slave mines.... what was his name? Ahh yes zephyr breeze.” Sombra said with a smile. I keep my head bowed. “I heard he is very lazy and sits around letting the other slaves do his work” I gulped.”Which the punishment is death...” “N-NO! Please give him another chance!” I drop to my knees. I felt tears starting to roll down my face.”Please my king I beg of...” “Enough.” King Sombra commanded raising a hand to silence me.“I don’t want you to beg for me, I want your obedience Fluttershy, I want you to do want I say, when ever I say.” “W-what would you have m-me do.” I stuttered not bothering to get up, afraid if I did I would fall back down again. “When I time comes Fluttershy, you will bring me more land and you will save your brother, for I need you to do........” —————————— ————————— I walk silently down halls leading to my bedchamber. That’s way Rainbow Dash was angry she knew what I was to do, what I had to do to save my brother. The halls were fulled with darkness, the only light coming from candles on the wall. Illuminating the stones with a soft orange. I opened the door to my bedchamber and went directly to the mirror. Why? Why would King Sombra want me to do this? There are many other far more pretty girls For this task. Why me? ”I trust you enough” The mirror showed my reflection. My pink hair that faded to a grayish pink with out the proper sunlight. My skinny body, with narrow hips, and skinny arms. I don’t understand. ”If you do this right, I could win all of Equestria, with Discord at my disposal! I hope you and I are at an understanding..” “Yes, My king.” I crawled my way into my bed and as my head hit my pillows, I realize I can’t ecsape this, and no one can save me. Silent tears started flowing down my face. Why me? ”Good, then our plan is in motion, Fluttershy you must seduce the lord of Chaos, Discord....”
