//------------------------------// // Caos. // Story: Shadow Sky In a New World // by Shadow Skysito //------------------------------// It's coming, I can feel it... I can feel the stone crack... I can feel its fury crack the stone... I can feel it's about to come out... I woke up somewhat disoriented, many things were going through my head, that had not been a dream, it is reality, it is what is happening at this moment. "Oh, good morning Shadow." happily greet the little filly. "G-good morning Sweetie Belle... what are you doing with that bucket of water?" I was kind of confused and sleepy, why was Sweetie Belle in my room in the first place? "Don't you remember? A week ago there was the party in honor of Princess Celestia, on Sunday of last week, that day you promised that you would help me with the Crusaders next Sunday... it's Sunday again ." "...Okay...but...and the bucket of water?" He hadn't answered my question, so I don't get rid of my doubts. "You also told me to throw a bucket of water on you if I couldn't wake you up, I called you 4 times and you didn't, I got here 30 minutes ago, good thing I didn't have to." Right, I asked him to do that, on the day of the party in honor of Princess Celestia I had managed to make some progress, I found out that it was a mathematical formula, and that same night, Princess Luna visited me with great news, she managed to find 2 volumes, from the book she gave me, a month had passed since I saw her, I thought she had given up, with the information from the two books I managed to make some headway, but this week I kept up too much sleep, there were days when I didn't sleep, day and night reading the same 3 books, over and over again... lasted like this for 1 whole week. "Okay, I just put my sweatshirt on and we head out." "Don't you get hot?" "No... I'm used to sweatshirts, so maybe it won't be hot even if it's summer." "You're weird...well, ready?" "Yep, done." We left the house, prepared for the "activity" of the Cute Mark Crusaders, I thought taking a break wouldn't hurt me... I was wrong. - At the same time in Canterlot Castle - "I'm glad I found those two books, it took me a while, but we finally made progress." Princess Luna thought while she continued reading in the secret basement of the castle. Discord is a "being" full of surprises, not for nothing is he the most powerful being in the entire universe... or in the entire multiverse... since he gave me part of his chaos magic in my dimension, his stone prison has been weakening. Let's talk a little about the "Helements of Harmony": They are magical artifacts that have been around for millennia, they were used more than a thousand years ago to imprison Discord, their effect is long-lasting, but more than a thousand years is too long, their magic gradually diminished during those years, thanks to that Discord was able to arrived in my dimension more than two years ago, but with the change of carriers, the magic weakened much more, Celestia was the only carrier, but when Twilight and her friends became the next carriers, the spell decreased thousands of times more, Discord was about to be released, and the only way to petrify him again would be with the new wielders of the elements. "... this... I don't like it..." Princess Luna said, very upset. "Wow, but look who's here! It's Princess Luna, she looks how much you've grown." She echoed a voice throughout the underground library. "Th-that... is the voice of-" "That's right, ¡Discord!, ¡your best friend in this world!" Discord was introduced to Princess Luna in the library, it seemed that he was there, but a certain transparency could be seen in her body. "¡¡¡Discord!!!, ¡¡¡¿How did you get free?!!!" The princess exclaimed as she took a defensive pose. "That's the little detail princess, I haven't done it yet." Discord's attitude seemed empathetic. "¡¿Then how the hell did you get here?!" "Well, you can see my body?, it's translucent, that means I'm here in a 'non' physical way, obviously." Princess Luna was still in a defensive pose, she couldn't let herself lose sight of him for any second. "¡¿Then what are you doing here?!, ¡¿Why are you coming to talk to me?!" She was confused, scared and tired, she didn't expect this to happen suddenly. "You see princess, I wouldn't be against you, but there is a little problem..." The empathy in her earlier conversation was slowly dissolving. "...And the problem is...?" "Well... you see, while I was trapped in stone I made a friend, I searched the endless space for someone to help his poor friend break free from his stone prison, it's very difficult to use this 'non-physical' appearance It takes a lot of effort, that's why I've only been able to do it twice, this time, and the time I helped my friend get chaos magic, it was a generous gift, I gave part of my chaos magic to a nice 11-year-old kid years with great potential." "After all... Shadow Sky wasn't lying in any way..." Princess Luna thought fearfully. "And what did he do to thanks me?, Absolutely nothing, he didn't free me, and apparently I couldn't brainwash him, do you know how dangerous that child can be?" "You're not getting it wrong?... maybe it's only dangerous for you." Exclaim angrily. Princess Luna began to tense the atmosphere with threats. "...hahahahahahaha, you're laughing me to death princess, ¡¿do you think a brat is stronger than me?!, what was his name?... Ethan, or rather Shadow Sky, adapted well to this dimension, The truth surprised me, but this is what I want to get to, princess, I would love for this to be the first time you hear about this... but... you know everything, you know Shadow, and you know the whole story..." "¡¿Why would you have loved it if I didn't know anything?!" Luna remains defensive, she doesn't let him out of her sight, she expects a fight... what a shame Discord doesn't do things that way. "Well princess...why wouldn't he have to do this." Discord snapped his fingers and everything around Luna had gone dark. "¿W-w-what the hell?" Suddenly the area around her was beginning to clear up, she could see more clearly. "D-d-discord?... ¡I-I have to tell my sister!" Luna hurriedly ran down the basement stairs, she felt scared, she ran as fast as possible to her sister's room, hoping that things would be resolved magically. "¡¡¡Sister!!!, ¡¡¡We have an emergency!!!" Princess Celestia was asleep in her bed, there was nothing strange, except for the fact that she couldn't hear her sister begging for help from her. "¡¡¡CELESTIA!!!, ¡¡¡WAKE UP!!!" Luna approached her sister, yelled as loud as she could, but she couldn't make her sister hear her. "She won't listen to you princess." "¡¡¡Discord!!!, ¡¡¡¿what did you do to me?!!!" Exclaim terrified. "Don't worry, you're not dead... still, I don't like it when they get in my way princess, do you think I wouldn't notice?, You're helping Shadow Sky to get out of this dimension, let's say that you can't do it, he took my magic, I gave him an order and he didn't obey it, you know what the punishment is, he told you, it's the reason you're so hasty, right?, well, now you'll have to see it with your own eyes." Discord snapped his fingers again, he had teleported them to Shadow Sky's room. "¡¿S-shadow?!" "Look at him princess, sleep peacefully, not knowing that in a few hours I will finally be free." "¡¿Hours?!, ¿What time is it?" "It's 5 in the morning." "That's impossible, ¡¡¡10 minutes ago it was 8 pm!!!" "Well, that doesn't matter, look, it's already dawn." "¡¡¡¿How the hell did you do this?!!!, ¡¡¡¿What did you do to me?!!!" "Don't you see your body?, It's blurry, right? You're on the same astral plane that I am on." "¡¡¡Get me out of here!!!" "I'm sorry princess, but I won't do that... Oh, it's time to start, I have to go princess, ¡¡¡Bye Bye!!!" He said goodbye in a very happy way. Discord had disappeared, leaving Luna in Shadow Sky's room, but she was still in that astral plane, Shadow Sky couldn't hear her. "¡¡¡Shadow!!!, ¡¡¡Wake up!!!, ¡¡¡Shadow!!!" She implored with tears in her eyes that someone would listen to her, but no one would, Shadow Sky began to wake up, it was time for her to start her daily routine, wait, wasn't it a few seconds ago 5 in the morning? - At the same time in Canterlot - "*yawn*, good morning girls." "*yawn*, good morning Sweetie Belle." "*yawn*, good morning." The three fillies had woken up, last week the school had planned a trip to Canterlot, it was very early in the morning when they woke up, the way to Canterlot is very long, so they had to sleep in the train. "Good morning students, we have arrived at our capital, get ready to get off the train in 10 minutes." Professor Cheerilee, as cheerful as ever. - Meanwhile in PonyVille - "*yawn*... I have *yawn* to continue." Shadow Sky managed to get up to make way for her daily task, the investigation, he left the room and went down to the kitchen, I made coffee and some sweet bread, a nice breakfast. - 20 minutes later in Canterlot - "And tell us Sweetie Belle, why didn't Shadow come on the field trip?" AppleBloom asked. "He said that he had a 'to do' today, that he couldn't come." Sweetie Belle answered. "Silence behind." Cheerilee exclaimed. The excursion had begun, they would be given a tour around the castle. "Although... he worries me a bit, he's been very stressed lately, it seems that something is bothering him, it's worrying." whispered Sweetie Belle. "Maybe they can talk when we get back, there has to be a reason, you're the closest to him, maybe he'll tell you what's going on." whisper AppleBloom. The first stop was to see the statues. - At the same time in PonyVille - Shadow Sky got ready, put on the sweatshirt Rarity had given her, went back down to the first floor and prepared to open the door to her personal study. "¡¡¡Shadow!!!, ¡¡¡RUN AWAY!!!" - At the same time in Canterlot - "Very well everyone, now let's see this statue here, this is a specimen of the Draconequus species, it was imprisoned by Princess Celestia over a thousand years ago, since it posed a great danger to the pony race, it is known as Discord, the God of chaos." "WOOOOOOOW" the whole class exclaimed in amazement. "Alright, the next statue is about the first Equestrence war, dating back over four thousand years." - At the same time in PonyVille - Shadow Sky was about to reach for the study handle... but- *crack* "..." He turned slowly to see the window that faced the outside, a small "*Crack*" made him start to tremble with fear... it was already late.
