//------------------------------// // The downfall of Equestria: Epilogue 1 // Story: The Shadow Magic Swing // by A random pony oc //------------------------------// The Past... There was nothing at first. But then a goddess came before the world. Her name was unknown but her title was the ruler of harmony. She created ponies and everything living with plans. Everything had a purpose in her eyes and everyone was happy. She gave everyone a soul to take care of and make into a pony. She got a little bit curious while making souls and wondered, 'What will happen to a soul which is not pure.' She called a few of the greatest scientists in her world to test on a soul. And that soul was named... Miranda Shaffer. My name is Miranda Shaffer. And I'm a test subject. Every second, every minute, every hour. I can't get a break from insanity. There a voice which telling me to stop the suffering and kill them. It calls itself Mystia Shadowmend. I won't though. They're my comrades, I can't hurt them. What will the queen think? But everyday, it gets stronger, louder, more demanding. It hurts... One day... It broke through. I couldn't contain it... and this is what they wanted. Now I wished I release it earlier when their back were turned on me. A small smile crept on my face while it devoured everyone. Why am I enjoying this? It so cruel. The shadow came back to me as it devilish smile was on it face. It like to creep me out. I don't. Soon enough , everyone in the lab was dead, their bodies littering the floor with blood. I felt... sad now? I never felt this in a long time. Maybe I became an empty vessel... The shadow with me smile kept on increasing. I don't feel good... Is it doing something to me? I tripped on air as I came crashing down. "Become one with me child. We will rule this land and take revenge on the evil queen who trapped us down here." It coiled around me as if it were it smoothest thing in the world. Every drop of blood in my body froze as my breathing became heavier. "What happening to me?" "I using magic on you. It won't take long. Do you trust me?" "I do but-" That all it needed to hear as it sped up it sliding on me. My vision blurred as everything became white then suddenly black. everything sense nummed as I fell to the monster. I opened my mouth to find that something was covering it and was invading it. It felt like mist and I couldn't stop it. I tried to break free when I realize what was happening when it was too late. It was combining me with itself. But honestly, I lost to myself. "So that what happened to her? We may have a problem on our hooves. Summon the elements for me please. We going to need them." The queen dismissed the maid as she frowned. Her curiosity got the better of her and now she put her whole world into trouble. She wasn't even a good queen. She put away her crown it the abyss portal as she fluttered to her room where two of her best creations were. Celestia and Luna. Their souls are in the mortal world and she didn't want them dying so she made them to be immortal. "I got the elements Queen." "Bring them in here and leave." The maid plopped them down at the nearest table and left. The queen concentrated on the elements, looking for the right moment to strike. This will change history I was eating the flesh of the ponies in the lab. For ponies, they have pretty good fles- "AAAAAAAAAAGH" I yelled. What is happening? 'The evil doer must be punished, so the pony mind is where it will be banished. They won't be of any trouble, for this pony mind is Twilight Sparkle." The world swirled with blackness as if I was getting sucked into a void. I felt empty than I ever been when the spell was completed and I was transferred into Twilight mind. A Few Years later in the future... I was sitting on the throne with Celestia and Luna in chains before me. I had a smirk on me and I felt like I can do anything. I already taunted them about I took action on every single detail. Learning from past mistakes from those elements of harmony. Speaking of which, I have all of them engraved on my throne. They were silent and had poker faces. I need rewards for my victory, so I called on Fluttershy. She was wearing a cute little maid outfit that Rarity would kill for. She came close to me and bowed. Celestia face slightly turn into a angered face which to my delight. "My queen, it a honor to make these two mares die embarrassing ways. Or should we play it slow?" While I couldn't think of any punishments except one, the 'princesses' were trembling. Good to taste fear... "Luna shall be eaten alive by ants and Celestia shall be banished to the sun for 1,000 years. And after she comes back she serve the maids in this castle." "But doesn't that mean they can't see each other in the afterlife?" a small smile crept on Fluttershy face. Being sadistic today -huh? Both of those faces on Celestia and Luna were priceless! I have to do this again with the next two alicorn I see. "Take them away. Also while we getting their punishments ready, let the guard relax with them. Pretty sure they would like the 'treat'." My faithful maid nodded and took them away. I teleported to my bed and just flopped there. This was revenge.
