"Good evening, girls. My name is Blueblood." said the ghost of the stallion, giving a wicked grin at the trio.
"A ghost in the throne room? Well that's different," said Bright, examine the ghost. "Though a lame ghost in my opinion."
"Yeah, I bet I could turn into him no sweat." said Nympha, grinning. Prism rolled her eyes.
"Being a ghost is lame. I much rather stay a pony." said the dark mare. Glimmer, however, stared at the ghost.
"Prince Blueblood," said Glimmer, catching the attention of the irked ghost and other three mares. "Was born into nobility and has gained enough respect to at one point name himself as the nephew of Princess Celestia." said the mare, proving to be much like her mother.
"However, when Celestia's daughter, Twilight Solar, our mom, came back out of hiding after regaining her alicornhood, Blueblood conspired in treasonous speaking which was ignored for a year. However, when it became publicly announced that the once believed royal sisters were engaged to each other and Twilight engaged to the element of loyalty, Rainbow Dash, Blueblood was arrested for treasonous behaviour and deifying the crown.
"The day after his arrest, the AntiCelesia group banded together and freed him, placing him as their head. Later, when Celestia and Rainbow Dash were only four months pregnant, the AC struck during the reception of their wedding. They took hostage Celestia and Rainbow Dash, using them to gain control of the sun and moon.
"Finally, royal guards were able to release them and take them to safety. Blueblood, however, had already sent a team of men to assassinate Princess Trixie Lulamoon and Chrysalis if need be. In the end, it sparked a full on battle, leaving the AC forces including Blueblood dead and Trixie wounded." finished Glimmer. The three ponies and one ghost stared at her, awe struck.
"You defiantly take after Mother." said Prism, shaking her head. Glimmer rolled her eyes at her twin.
"And you take after mom," Glimmer looked over at Blueblood with a scowl. "What are you doing here anyways? Last I checked, you are dead and it's very hard to come back from the dead."
"I'm very aware I'm dead," sneered Blueblood. "It was because of her mother that I am." he said, pointing a hoof at Nympha.
"But you injured my mom. How could it be her fault?" asked Nympha, confused.
"Not Trixie, you idiot! That bitch of a changeling, Chrysalis!" barked Blueblood, flying right up into the face of the hybrid. She stepped back, ears splayed against her head.
"But, mother could never do something like that. She hates fighting." whimpered Nympha.
"Hates fighting? Ha! She murdered my marefriend without batting an eye and killed my entire army within seconds. Finally giving me a slow, painful death. I say she loved it back then." sneered the ghost. Nympha whimpered and held her head in her fore hooves. Prism growled and stepped between the two.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" shouted the dark blue alicorn. Blueblood chuckled.
"Yes, don't let me forget your cowardly mother, Twilight. She hid herself for eleven years because she was afraid. She didn't even tell her own lover until they knew each other for over a year.
"Oh yes, then she and Princess Luna didn't even hesitate to kill every one of my soldiers in the caves. And tell me," he said, turning to Bright. "Did Tia hide you away and break apart your being like she did to your sister?"
"Shut your Faust damned mouth!" shouted Bright, stomping a hoof on the ground hard enough to crack it.
"Don't believe me, do ya?" he asked, grinning. "Go ask them. Ask them what else they lied to you about. Ask them what kind of monsters they actually are."
"Fuck you. Come on, girls. Let's leave this bastard rot in hell." said Bright, turning to leave.
"That's what they said when they tortured me." called out Blueblood, still grinning. Bright stopped for a brief moment before continuing, her three nieces following behind her.
~~~~~~
"What do we do now?" asked Glimmer as she held Nympha. The hybrid was still getting over the fact that she witnessed a ghost nearly attack her but also from hearing her mother accused of mass slaughter. The four of them were sitting in the royal gardens, their royal attire back where they were supposed to be.
"We could always go back and kick Bluebitch's ass back to hell?" said Prism. Bright chuckled but shook her head.
"A very pleasing idea, but an impossible and stupid idea. One, you can't touch a ghost. Two, that will give him more reason to hate our family. Saying we take after them." said the black alicorn. Nympha growled slightly, causing Glimmer to jump.
"He can go suck my changeling dick." said the pink hybrid.
"But mares have vaginas, not dicks. He can't suck what you don't have." pointed out Bright. Nympha gave her a 'are you fucking kidding me?' look and tapped her horn. Bright face hoofed. "Right. Changeling."
"Wouldn't that feel cold, though?" asked Prism, gaining looks from the others. "I mean, he is dead so shouldn't it feel ice cold on your dick?"
"Okay, let's get off the topic of changeling dicks and go back to the problem at hoof." said Glimmer, trying to get rid of the image of her cousin with a dick. It wasn't exactly disturbing, yet still felt slightly wrong.
"Well, I guess the only thing we can do is to actually ask our parents." said Bright, picking up a flower in her red aura.
"Wouldn't it be a sore topic for them? I mean, they kept it from us for our entire lives." said Glimmer. Nympha nodded.
"But we need to know if its true! If it is, then they could really be monsters like Bluebitch said!" shouted Prism stomping on the ground. Bright thought for a minute, humming to herself as she did.
"Well, we might as well try. I mean, our parents could never have done anything like that. We have. Known them our whole life and we know they couldn't have done that." said Bright, smiling.
~~~~~~~
Satanic. That's what they described her as. Oddly enough, it was her name. The very daughter of Lucian himself. Living inside of a powerful changeling queen. For now, that is. Soon, she will have enough dark energy that she could cast aside her vessel and cause as much damage as she can for her short life span. Thankfully for her, that damage would be half the world if she so desired.
Satanic sat in the realm of Limbo. She was still living in a live creature, so she was not allowed to leave and cross over to Tartarus as it would be. Her red mane flowed around her on the chilling breeze that blew through the twisted trees around her. Her black coat shone in the soft light.
"It is done." She opened her blood red dragon eyes and turned to see Blueblood walking towards her. He scowled as he did. She grinned.
"Oh come on, you still don't think you owe them, do you? They tortured you, for Fausts sake." said Satanic, shaking her head with a grin.
"Yes, but they had enough of a heart to let me die after all I did. They had enough right to keep me there for centuries. You just had to come to me..."
"I came to you because you are their most painful memory." said Satanic. She stood and circled the stallion spirit. "You caused great pain in their lives and you stirred their inner demons. I must thank you for that. But, you brining this to their daughters eyes, this is more than enough dark energy for me." said the demon.
"Just send me to Blaze. I did what you wanted me to." he said, stamping his hoof. Satanic shook her head before teleporting him to one of the levels of Tartarus. Hatred. A bit more pleasant than gluttony. But none of the levels are exactly 'pleasant.'. She didn't care, however. He out served his use, and he could be her father's bitch for all she cared. Now, she had to plan her own tartarus for the world of Equus.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chrysalis and the others found themselves in the most uncomfortable and most unwanted position they have ever been in. Their kids somehow knew of what they did and they wanted to know if it was true. Chrysalis, however, was in its very center. The kids saying that a ghost named Blueblood had told them she slaughtered and army and then tortured him. She knew that it would happen one day, and it might as well have been to day considering her postion.
"Alright. The door is locked, spells are keeping all sound inside this room, and the guards have been sent away. Are you sure you want me to explain this?" asked Chrysalis. The four nodded. She winced as Nympha scooted a tiny bit closer so she could hear better. In her opinion, neither of them should hear. But she had no control anymore.
"The basics of the story is true. The AC did kidnap Celestia and Rainbow during the reception, the rest was made up, however," started Chrysalis keeping her eyes closed. "I went looking for them in the crystal caves below the castle disguised as a guard. I found the two in a cell. Tia exhausted and Rainbow clutching her stomach as if it could protect the spell Blueblood threatened you two with." she said, nodding to the twins.
"They somehow gained info that their next target was Trixie," said Chrysalis, hugging her wife closer. Trixie laid her head on the changelings chest. "I, however, could not do anything until Twilight and Luna came. Once they did, I killed the captain and booked it to the throne room, hoping to make it before they got there. I was too late.
"They already kicked in the doors and started a full on war when I was still a ways away. During that short amount of time, Blueblood shot Trixie with a crossbow." Trixie took this moment to part a small patch of fur on her right breast, showing a small white scar. "It was then, that all of us did something that haunts us to this day.
"All alicorns have a demon inside them. Cadance is the only alicorn alive to not have been born with it. Anyways, at that moment, I let go. I let go and it took over. I barely remember her name, but I believe it was Satanic. Very ironic considering she is the closest thing to Satan as a demon can get.
"That night, she used my magic to kill the small army by turning their blood into sulfuric acid, and tortured Blueblood, making it impossible for him to die or pass out. Still under the effects of our demons, we sentenced him to eternity of torture. We were lucky we were able to come to our senses and killed him." Chrysalis sighed and eyed the four horrified alicorns.
"Emotions can do terrible things to a pony if we are not careful. Alicorns are no exception to this. If not, we are more prone to this. Letting emotions and anger take over turned us into monsters. We don't want that to happen to any of you." She finished and waited for their reactions before another thought popped in.
"I also, think, you couldn't have found out at a better time." she said, leaning forward. Rainbow raised an eyebrow at her.
"Better time? How is now any better?" asked the cyan Pegasus. Chrysalis sighed and turned to the young mare alicorns again.
"Satanic is growing stronger and I can't fight her off much longer. Nympha, you remember my nightmare. It was a foretelling. It pretty much said that she is going to release herself, and I don't know when." she closed her eyes, letting the tears drop down her cheeks. "I want all of you to be as far away from me as possible when it does happen. I will still be alive when it happens, but the devil herself will be released and I can't stand to watch you get hurt." She stood and walked to the door.
"I need some sleep. Please be careful." With that, she opened the door and started out. She stopped half way through the doorway before failing forward.
"Chryssy!" shouted Trixie, running to her wife's side. She placed a hoof on the shaking changelings back.
"Get away. All of you. Now." said Chrysalis, her voice shaking. Trixie cocked her head to the side.
"Chrys, why would you wa-" she stopped as she saw the black tendrils coming out of the changelings back. Her eyes widened in fear.
"Shit! We are leaving, NOW!" she ran forward and grabbed onto the four children. She was soon joined by Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash. Creating a large pony pile. With a flash of rose magic, the group teleported out of the room and to the otherside of the castle as a second figure began to form next to Chrysalis.
The form grew, reaching a head above Celestia. Her coat was black and her mane and tail blood red. Her eyes were also a terrifying blood red along with slits for pupils. She cackled evily as she finished forming.
Satanic was free.
