~Sun Dusk Meet's The Prophecy~
Created by: MuffinDuffers
The sun was rising that morning to awaken Princess Sun Dusk from her deep slumber. She did not exactly 'like' to get up in the morning.
But this was a special day, she would finally find out who the prophecy was. She would also find out she had a mother. Sun Dusk got her gold hoove polish and began painting, her father called to her from across the hall, "Breakfast is ready." He said in a serious voice.
"Coming!" She called back. "Just one minute," She quickly galloped down the stairs, sliding across the tile flooring, slipping from the floor into her chair. "Good morning!" She exclaimed.
"Princess Sun Dusk the first! How many times have I told you, 1. Not to gallop down the stairs. You could trip on the carpet! 2. Do not slide across the floor, simply trot over to the table. And 3. DO NOT POUNCE INTO YOUR CHAIR!" Sun Dusk rolled her eyes at her father.
"Yeah yeah." The king's face turned a magenta red color. "Sun Dusk, you listen to me, you will obey by my rules, or leave the castle! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Sun Dusk said in a non caring voice "Yes father." The king nodded and returned to eating.
"But," She interrupted her father. "I don't understand why I'm not aloud to have fun! Like the other ponies here. I wanna be happy father." The king then said in a demanding tone "Happiness is no part of being a royal Sun Dusk."
"What's that have to do with anything? I wanna be happy, but you wont let me have that! You wont let me have my rights! Nor freedom!"
"Sun Dusk," She then interrupted not paying attention. "I want to be able to go outside! Explore the world! You wont let me do anything without me getting into trouble!" The king growled.
"To your room." "No!" She exclaimed. "I said, TO YOUR ROOM!" The kings face turned bright red. "And I said, NO!"
"GO NOW! GAURDS! TAKE MY DAUGHTER- EM, THE PRINCESS TO HER ROOM! NOW!!" The king was furious but when the guards came, Sun Dusk kicked and hit, trying to get out of their grip.
"Get off of me! Grr!" She kicked one of the guards in their stomach, leaving behind a mark in their stomach. The guard rolled on the ground in pain while the other brought her to her room, slamming the door and locking it.
"Let me out! Let me out!" She cried. The guard did not listen and pretended that nothing had happened trotting back to the king.
She sighed. "Why can't I have a better life, I may have a roof over my head, plenty of food and warmth, but, my father doesn't quite grasp what's out there, beautiful waterfalls, trees, and little towns to complete it." She lay down in her diamond encrusted bed with lapis blue sheets and Ruby red blankets with her face in the blanket.
Sun Dusk then found her self in a white room with nothing around. Not even a cloud or tree. "W-where am I?" She looked around.
"Sun Dusk," said a faint voice, sounding like a mare. "What?" She was frightened. "Who's here? Where am I? Who are you?"
"You have many questions," The mare then giggled. "I like that about you." Sun Dusk was breathing heavily, feeling as if about to faint, a tall beautiful white mare with a rainbow mane and tail appeared in front of Sun Dusk's eyes.
"Wh-who are you?" The mare smiled down at Sun Dusk. "I'm you mother Sun Dusk." She looked confused at the mare. "My what?"
"I'm your mother." The mare repeated. "What's a mother?" Sun Dusk looked puzzled. "A mother is the mare who gives birth the the foal or foals."
Sun Dusk was amazed at the white figure to find out that this magnificent pony was her mother. "Wow, I never knew I had one. My father never told me." She smiled at the mare, the mare smiled back.
"It's about time you knew a bit about me Sun Dusk, and a bit more about your life. I am Princess Celestia of Equestria. All my loyal subjects have been dying to meet you. But, you have to go on a journey to get here where I am Sun Dusk."
"A journey?" "Yes." Said her mother smiling. "It's also about time you meet the prophecy. You are 14 after alll." Sun Dusk tilted her head. "The prophecy?"
"Why yes Sun Dusk, the ones that have saved the universe from Discord." Sun Dusk remembered something. "I know about Discord! He's half pony, half goat, dragon, bird, a lot of things! He's a lack of harmony between ponies right?"
"Correct." Smiled Celestia. "He is a lack of harmony between ponies, he has taken over the universe multiple times. The prophecy has been able to save it multiple times though. He is one of the strongest in the universe, but, I have worn down a few of my powers. So I am not as strong as him anymore."
"Oh, well anyways, about the prophecy, does this have anything to do with the tower in the courtyard?" Asked Sun Dusk anxiously.
"Yes, yes it does. You must go to the tower tomorrow, I will be waiting there for you." Sun Dusk then said sadly, "I can't get in though, there's too many guards around."
"There wont be tomorrow morning." Sun Dusk woke up before she could speak another word. Walking to the window curiously, she saw there were no guards around the tower! She took the risk of getting caught and ran out the castle doors.
She carefully stepped in the tower and looked around at the tattered paintings, moldy roofs, and shredded rugs. She came across a pillar or 2 and saw a stone hidden behind them with broken glass all over the floor.
Sun Dusk walked up there with caution then wiped off a few of the cobwebs revealing the prophecy. She was amazed at the pegasisters and the unicorns. "Wow," she then heard hoof steps. "Gotta hide!" She said quickly, hiding behind the shade of a pillar to see her father walking up the steps towards the prophecy.
"Oh darling dear Celestia, if only I could see your face once again, and the prophecy. Discord had to take you away. I never saw you again. And Sun Dusk has never met her mother. If only she did, she would have loved you, just like I did." The king sighed.
Sun Dusk ran out of the tower to the castle and into her room shutting the door and going into her bed hiding under the ruby sheets.
"I can't let my dad find out I saw my mom or the prophecy. He'll kill me if he finds out. I'll just go back to bed and I'll find my mom another day."
