Rarity, Celestial legend

by mareinthemoon


The Dress maker and the Order of the Lunar Knights

Rarity was so thrilled to finally have made it in the big city, It had been her life long goal to make her name in Canterlot as the new must see designer in Equestria.
Her friends were all thrilled with her success, she had sold so many hats and dresses from her new boutique that rested around the corner from the castle. It was like a dream come true to see all of the fancy Ponies come to her and only her for the newest trend,It made her feel accomplished and whole.

Rarity was closing shop for the day, neatly putting the garments back into place just right in the window display. It had been another busy day for the boutique, Her till overflowing with bits it was as if the sun was shining down upon her and her new-found success. With a smile she put on her favorite saddle with its matching hat and she made her way outside, singing happily that is until. she saw it happen.

Before her was the Famous Fleur De Lis in all of her radiant glory, such a beautiful and classy pony with such soft fur and flowing hair. The ideal ponies pony.
Fleur was standing there as she received a beautifully wrapped present that had obviously come from her own boutique, The radiant mare opened the package and gasped at what was inside. " Ohhhh you girls....Iv'e been hit." She giggled and put on the feathered hat."Do I really have to wear this all day long now? It looks ghastly."
Rarities eyes widened as the Ponies who had given the gift began to laugh in delight. " You know the game Fleur, you cant take it off at all...this is payback for that unsightly blazer you gave Candace."

Rarity felt her heart sink as she realized that her fame was simply notoriety. Her creations used as a cruel party joke among the rich, Rarity began to cry as she fled from this terrible sight back to her apartment, Never wanting to see them again.

---------------------------

Rarity had spent the rest of the day sobbing into her pillow hysterically seeing her dreams shatter right before her eyes.
The hour grew late as she rubbed her eyes and stirred from her bed. She did not really want to get up but the grumbling from her stomach told her otherwise, She was quite famished and needed to gain her strength if she was ever going to prove those ponies wrong she needed to get her head in the game and get back on track.
So reluctantly she put on her dress and headed out for the night city, She needed inspiration if she was ever going to have a comeback.

The streets were lined with swinging oil lamps that burned brightly like fireflies into the night as she walked all alone down the winding road. The sound of her hooves echoing off the pavement was like that of the click clack of a high end super models. The dress she wore was a beautiful white one(the one in the image) that had elegant red ribbon bows upon its hem, adorning a stylish bonnet upon her mane.Her hair done up beautifully befitting a princess, The shimmering amethyst purple locks looking like bewitching jewels in the night that glimmered with a surrealistic beauty.

She wondered around alone and looking for inspiration, She would prove herself to these Canterlot aristocrats and make her name known for all time. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a gentle tap placed upon her shoulder from behind. Rarity quickly turned around to find a most dazzling mare before her with a mane like tamed fire.
" Excuse me miss, I believe we have met before.." The beauty spoke with a voice like a songbird Her voice the first thing Rarity noticed that led her to look upon the other in admiration.

The mare wore a fancy orange dress with ruffles along the collar. Her eyes glistened In the pale moonlight colors of orange yellow and red dancing like fire within her eyes.Her mane was brushed into a stylish braid with a jeweled bow at the end that matched the one at the base of her tail, Looking more like a princess than that petty Fleur could ever hope to be.


" Ummmm I can't say we have to be quite honest miss..." Rarity was very confused, she would have remembered seeing such an elegant mare around town.
The mare laughed nervously and scratched the back of her head. "Oh yea....right, without the outfit its hard to tell...." She smiled brightly and stepped closer to Rarity. "Its me Spitfire, we met back in Ponyville several times." Rarities eyes widened with delight, It was such a dramatic change from that flight suit she always wore. " You look absolutely divine Spitfite!!! so very elegant!" To this the Pegasus blushed and smiled nervously, she had never expected such a reaction let alone such complements from the other.
" Well miss Rarity I was wondering if you'd come with me to a little get together I'm holding this evening." Rarity was elated but sighed."Will any of those socialites be there Spitfire? " The designer was still heartbroken from what she had witnessed only a few hours ago, She couldn't bare to face them now.


Spitfire smiled and gave her a nod. "No only the fabulous ponies are invited, no posers allowed." Spitfire smiled and led Rarity down the road , turning into a dark alleyway.
The alley was empty of anything accept for a piece of paper or two strewn out on the floor " Spitfire it appears we have taken a wrong turn, perhaps we should go back." The fire haired mare smiled and pushed Rarity forward into the dark.

Rarity could feel the hooves of others upon her in the dark, she could hear the cutting of her dress. ' Oh gods...' She panicked as her mouth was covered and her tail lifted. Then as the panic began to settle in , her eyes closed so tightly that it caused tears to form in the corners of her eyes..she heard a voice.
" Rarity open your eyes...come on.." It was Spitfires voice calling to her.

Her eyes opened wide, her eyes searching around confused and distraught. She had found herself in a large elegant ballroom that was silver and white with a crystal blue chandelier. Around her was a mass of ponies, many of them she recognized like Sapphire Shores and Fancypants. She quickly bolted up right and backed herself against the wall, the others closing in on her and then suddenly, Kneeling before her."The Princess hath returned." They said as one.

Rarity looked at them confused."Princess ? Me ? Now while I do act like royalty I assure you I'm not.." She looked around her surroundings, quite liking the interior. The walls were made of white marble that had been polished to perfection With sterling silver sconces that were studded with brilliant purple gems. Upon the walls were several murals depicting glorious knights in shinning armor and dazzling royalty.

Rarity continued looking around before spotting behind her a massive portrait of a bat winged alicorn under a full moon that looked exactly like her,down to the cutie mark,the outfit and even the Bonnet upon her head.

She turned to face her abductors turned subjects with a glare." Who was it that tore my dress?! And why do you have a picture of me here?!" There were many things Rarity disliked about this situation but to have her own creation be torn was something she absolutely would never let go unpunished.
Her gaze searched for the offender and to her surprise Spitfire approached with a well dressed stallion beside her, bowing at her feet.

" It was us Lady Rarity, we had to cut the dress now or it would have been ripped to shreds when your wings came out.." Spitfires eyes were filled of remorse for what she had done as was the stallion beside her. Rarity looked at them confused when the term ' wings ' came into play.
" Spitfire......I believe your mistaken, I'm a Unicorn not a Pegasus I don't have wings like you." The Stallion beside Spitfire smiled and bowed." With all do respect Lady Rarity, Then what are those coming out of your back?" To this Spitfire looked at him irritated." Do not mock Rarity Soarin...or I will never let you eat apple pie again, I mean it this time.."

Rarity's eyes widened when she felt something odd on her back and sure enough where they had cut her dress a pair of bat wings now rested. She gasped in surprise and looked around for a mirror." I..I need a mirror!!" She cried out frantically which to this her new found subjects provided a missive full length mirror that adorned a black rose frame. Rarity gazed upon her reflection and flapped her new wings cautiously " I...have wings......I....I....wait...." She looked closer and saw that in her mouth were now a set of small yet stylish fangs and just like that Rarities eyes rolled back and she fainted backwards in a most dramatic way.


Spitfire sighed and looked over at Soarin angrily." You couldn't have waited for me to explain the situation first could you? Help me get her, we should take her to her new chambers."
Spitfire and Soarin approached the passed out Rarity, with a little teamwork they managed to lift Rarity onto Soarin's back. The stallion spread his wings and flew Rarity off into the palace, The chanting becoming louder as they left the room, Passing a portrait depicting The two of them with Rarity under the full moon as her royal knights.
" Long live the Princess of the Moon, The night angel Rarity."
