//------------------------------// // The declaration // Story: My Little Pony Destroyers are Magic. // by CommonDash //------------------------------// Celestia had a paper in front of her. It meant bad tidings and an end to the peace. The old world was going to war. The doors to the room suddenly burst open “Sister!” “Yes Luna I know.” The paper bursts into flames as Celestia’s mane gains an orange hue. “Bon Bon was able to get Taylor alone.” Luna says Celestia is suddenly snapped out of her rage. “What did Bon Bon discover?” Celestia asks “Nothing I didn’t already know. Sister Taylor was a child soldier in a horrible war… Human.” Luna says “Well, I guess we finally got one with technical knowledge.” Celestia says looking out into the distance. “I refuse to make her fight sister.” Luna says “She might have to if the seats go after her.” Celestia says “Sister the seats of ten are ridiculously weak compared to how they were during the time of the pillars.” Luna says “Some of the older members over there are half our age sister. Think of the magical skill required to be able to live that long.” “I’m more worried about the war than I arm a couple of old creatures trying to sound important.” ================ Taylor was walking down the streets of Ponyville alone it was a rare thing for her. Most the time another pony was with her. There was a dull thud which was the tell tale sign of Taylor running into a wall. Or in this case an open door. “Oooww.” “Are you okay?” Taylor looks up her vision slightly blurred yet she can still see perfectly due to radar. “Who are you?” Taylor asks “I’m Bon Bon the owner of the candy store.” Taylor looks up at the building she had just walked into. “So it would seem.” Bon Bon giggles as Taylor looks at her suspiciously. “Do you purposely leave your glass door open to catch customers?” Taylor asks “It’s a sound strategy isn’t it?” Bon Bon asks “I guess so, so what type of candy do you have?” Taylor asks “I’ve got a whatchamacallit. That’s a pretty popular one.” Bon Bon says “ I want to babe Ruth Twix or Kitcat?” Taylor asks “Babrud, tigs and kick cat. I’ve got all of those.” Bon Bon says “Hershey‘s?” “Horsies.” Bon Bon corrects “It’s chocolate right?” Taylor asks Bon Bon nods in response. “Can I get a few tones of it?” Taylor asks The mare puts her hoof on her muzzle in a way to express thinking. Bon Bon hums to herself. “Could you afford that? I mean sure your mother could however I don’t think you could get the bits for it.” Bon Bon “I could pay for it in brass?” Taylor says unsure. “Brass? And where would you get so much of that metal silly filly?” Bon Bon asks “Yes or no?” Taylor asks “That depends where did you know the name of all of those candies from?” Bon Bon asks “They are from my home land.” Taylor admits “Where is that?” Bon Bon asks “Amerika.” Taylor says with a bit of an accent “It’s a bit hard to say in your language however I think it translates fairly well.” Taylor says “Isn’t that just how the Gryphish pronounce equestria?” Bon Bon asks “Yes?” Taylor and unsure “Sure just bring the brass back later and I’ll get you chocolate.” Bon Bon says “Thank you!” Taylor says happily In Brockton there never was a shortage of chocolate however her memories as a Fletcher leaves her wanting to steal an ice cream machine and as much chocolate as she can possibly get. “See you later alligator!” Bon Bon says “After while crocodile.” Taylor says happily trotting off. Bon Bon smiles to herself having gotten her answer. ===========•= 7 shadowy figures are sitting at a large round table in an undisclosed castle. The candles flicker as a cold breeze blows through the tower. The flame from the candles is just barely enough to dimly light the room the castle itself is made of stone masonry which is covered in mold and dust. Worn due to age and lack of upkeep. “The old world has fallen into chaos.” “It almost mimics something doesn’t it?” “How many times must I remind you that 3 of you know stuff that some of us do not however it doesn’t make you more powerful.” “History repeats itself old friend. Even if it’s not out history, but a different one. The question is which side will equestria chose.” “True sun butt does have some grudges against the dragon empire.” “At the moment the gryphish empire is tied to a dead body… I don’t see that ancient country being able to put up much of a physical fight.” “Youth and exuberance is no match for old age and treachery. That’s something we should all be familiar with.” A voice says with mirth in it. “Is anyone else wondering how equestria got iron clads?” “Maybe they developed them naturally?” “I feel like we should look into it. Something is going on in the country of alicorns.” “Where is 2 5 and 9?” “Last I heard 9 was stirring the pot of the current conflict.” “This decade is going to entertaining isn’t it?”
