//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: My Little Phantom // by DannyPhantom79 //------------------------------// (Voice Justin Briner when heroic) One month later After the incident I found out that I now had these weird powers and sometimes I’ll accidentally go intangible. I knew I was a freak before but this’ll take the cake. But there were some good thing about these powers. The magic in my ghost side transferred to my normal side thus giving me the ability the fly and walk on cloud. I thought I could finally be friends with everyone else but….The citizens of Ponyville saw this and hated me even more. Oh I forgot to mention, no mare or filly would ever look my way. When I would see me they’ll instinctively give me hateful glares. Although Miss Cheerilee is one of the two who treated me with respect. She was very aware about my orphaned status and she took me in and gave me an education I’m now on 10th grade level. And like I said all good things must come to an end. Somepony found out and everyone immediately started sending violent death threats that actually scared us to the core. I had to leave and Miss Cheerilee agreed even though she misses me came by to check over me. I don’t how she always find me she just do. The second one of the two was a farmer named Applebloom, she’ll hid me into the barn and feed me apple and wrapped bandages on me when I injured myself. I’ll sometimes help her to find her cutie mark though it’ll be a bust but we had fun and we both had a crush on each other. But there was one thing that’s stopping us from getting together and that my friend is her family. When her family found out where we are and this happens. Granny Smith she basically slaved me to death. She’ll have me do these insane chores. I had to fix the roof on the barn and she know I can’t fly and the ladder was broken. The plow was heavy it nearly took me three days to finish the field. ApplejackShe’ll force me to apple buck and plant the entire field with no breaks. That took me 2 weeks. And Big Mac He trained me and trust me it was HELL. I had to pull a wagon filled with 300 pound apples barrels. Next hell sit on me and tell me to do 200 push ups. And Lastly, I had to run around Sweet Apple Acres 500 times with no breaks. I couldn’t move for a month. And this was before my powers. I had accidentally broke my leg kicking a tree and all of a sudden a green aura surrounded my leg and healed it up. And then it healed all of my injuries. Anyway the citizens saw my body they were surprised and I was too. I had the sculpture by Greek gods. The beatings stopped but the verbal attacks continued I may be strong physically, but mentally I’m just a broken half teenage ghost colt. Back to the present I’m waiting a newcomer with with my Terence style glare. Meanwhile It begins with a book sitting on the grass, a brown cover with various symbols along the corners. A symbol of a golden unicorn with green eyes is perched along the center. It is here the book opens itself to a single page containing four familiar words. And it is here, where it all began… Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria… The scene shifts to the magical land of Equestria itself, as the clouds roll to the side revealing it's beautiful landscape. A magnificent castle sat perched along the mountains, as a waterfall fell to the surface below. Overlooking this castle was a city perched along a set of clouds, a rainbow streaming to several sides. Below these structures, there was a tiny village with several streams of river flowing across. Equestria, a wondrous world inhabited by the dominant species of this awe-inspiring land: The ponies. Speaking of which… There were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. The two figures in questions were unlike any equine like creatures any creature had ever seen. While they resembled the size of horses, they had feather wing appendages sticking from their backs and spiral horns protruding from their foreheads. Whereas the creature on the left had a white coat with a pink mane, tail, and wings, the equine on the opposite end of the cloud had a dark bluish coat with light blue wings, tail, and mane. They were known… As the alicorns, the most powerful race in all of Ponykind and the sole rulers and protectors of this world. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. A display of their powers is shown, the elder pony using her magic to raise the sun to single the start of a brand new day, helping the crops to grow, and provide warmth during the summer. And every night, the youngest would lift the moon to signal the end of the day, even to help the oceans rise on occasion. Though different in terms of how they used their magic, these two ponies, sisters, represented the yin-and-yang of this land. For every day, there must always be night just as after every night there comes a moment to pave way to the dawn. And it's been like that for generations to come… But this cycle would not last… But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. Indeed, as the younger sister looked down upon her subjects, she noticed the difference that day and night brought upon her subjects. Every pony seemed busy during the day, harvesting their crops, managing their daily business, or simply playing together out on the fields. But when the night came, the moon in full view and the stars illuminating the night sky like a picture on a dark canvas, they would just lie there in either their homes or outside sleeping away. Seeing this happen for a lengthy period of time, it not only made the young sister very sad… It infuriated her. One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. On that day, while the land was still dark and the subjects were afraid that they'd never see the light of day, a confrontation took place between the two sisters, the two rulers they looked up to for guidance and leadership. The eldest tried to employ her sister to reconsider her actions, but as it appears… It was already too late. For it seemed that the younger sister had lost faith in her subjects and the respect towards her elder sibling. But what the elder sister did not know was that it only got worse… The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon. Through magical enchantment and terrible smoke, a terrible transformation took place. The young sister's eyes turned demon-like, a chest plate and helmet appeared on her body, and her mane shifted into an everflowing display. The once proud younger ruler would become an infamous creature of the night, the stuff of nightmares for all the ponies during that period in time. She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Seeing all her subjects helpless and afraid, fearing what this terrible power would do to Equestria should this continue, the elder sister had only one choice… One that she would come to regret for the rest of her life. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to Ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Yes, the Elements of Harmony. Six of the most powerful gemstones in six shades of color: Red, orange, green, blue, pink, and violet. Hidden deep within the castle, they laid to rest and were only to be called upon in the event of an emergency. In which case, the elder sister needed these crystals, these very elements, to combat her own sister and save Equestria. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon. And so, it happened: Wearing a tiara upon her brow, one of the elements embedded in the center, she used the combined power of the elements themselves to overcome the creature known as Nightmare Moon, the pony formerly who was the older one's younger sister. After a great conjuring of magic, all that remained of Nightmare Moon was her face implanted upon the surface of the moon, a shining symbol of her defeat. Ever since that faithful day, the elder sister now assumed a throne just for herself. Using her power to raise both the sun and the moon, all by herself, each day passing turning to weeks, weeks turning to months, and months turning to years… And eventually, elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since. As the page rests on where the story ends, a single figure had been reading the contents of that very book. A unicorn laying on her stomach along the grass, near a crystal clear lake in the Canterlot Castle gardens. Her moderate violet eyes skim the pages, her dark sapphire blue mane with moderate purple and brilliant raspberry streaks hung over her pale, light grayish mulberry coat. Her most notable feature is a cutie mark of a sparkling purple star surrounded by tiny white stars, five of them, along her flanks. For some time, Twilight had gone over the ancient tome she found in the library, thinking to herself about what she just read. "Hmm… Elements of Harmony. I know I've heard of those before… But where?" She thought.
