//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: War of the Creators // by Paradox Theory //------------------------------// Twilight's POV I like quiet days. The Library is closed. Spike is gone. And I have a good book in front of me. To my side, a steaming cup of cocoa. On a quiet day, a human isn't randomly summoned. His sister doesn't follow him with a plan to kill us all. The human doesn't go on an adventure across the country to end up saving it. And I don't suddenly ascend. I wonder what he is up to? I'm talking about Paradox. Once a human, who did all those things I said. Now he is an Alicorn. Like me. Another thing that doesn't happen on quiet days is the same guy showing up from 3000 years in the past to save us yet again. Along with him is an ancient race that he killed and brought back. After all that, a quiet day is all I want. After a few minutes of reading I found myself bored. A bit unlike me. Maybe Rarity can help? Getting off my chair I head for Rarity's. Walking through town I waved to a few of the Ponyvillians. Derpy, Vinyl, Octavia, and Bon-Bon are a few of my more favorite ponies. I noticed the CMC training a few colts who joined not too long ago. Mrs. Cake just put up a sign for a new cake. Finally, I found myself at the door of the Carousel Boutique. Knocking on the door I yelled, "Rarity? You home?" "Just a second!" Came her reply. Not a few moments later, Rarity opened her door, "Oh! Twilight! Do come in!" "How have you been dear?" Rarity asked me as I followed her in. "Just fine, a bit bored though." I replied as we sat in her kitchen. "I was thinking the same thing darling, before you showed up. I was planning on visiting Fluttershy, see how she is holding up." Rarity chatted idly as she put on a pot of tea. "That's a great idea!' I agreed happily, "And perhaps we could find the others too!" "Yes, it's a-" Rarity was cut off as the sound of some pony knocking came into the kitchen. "Be right there!" Rarity sang, rushing out of the kitchen. She came back a few seconds later holding a muffin and a letter. "Oh my." Rarity whispered as she read the letter. "What is it?" I asked. "Sapphire Shores is ordering a new line, and she will be here in two days!" Rarity gasped, "I'm sorry Twilight, but I'll have to cut this short and get to work." "Okay, I'll just head to Sugarcube Corner for a treat." I sighed to myself as I left Rarity to her work. Quietly, I walked through Ponyville again. As I reached the front doors to Sugarcube Corner, a bright pink filled my vision. "Hi Twilight! What brings you here?" Pinkie chirped, a smile on her face as always. "I don't really know, I guess I got to used to having these Creators running amok that I just got bored." I answered as we walked in. "Okay Twilight: One: You are a Creator. And Two: why have I never heard of the word Amok? It sounds fun! Amokamokamok!" Pinkie explained to me as Mrs. Cake waited for our order. "Just a Vanilla milkshake." I asked before heading to a table. "So, Pinkie," I asked, "Are you free to come to Sweet Apple Acres with me?" Pinkie frowned and looked up, "I dunno. Author, am I free?" I stared blankly as Pinkie continued to look up. "But, I wanna go with Twilight!" Again I stared blankly. "Fine," Pinkie sighed, "The Author says I have to stay here and work. Sorry Twi." "Alright, bye Pinkie." I picked up my shake and left for AJ's. As I walked, I thought of what Pinkie said. The Author? Who in the hoof is that?! As I chalked it to Pinkie being Pinkie, I found the smell of apples in my nose. I was in Sweet Apple Acres. "No, you cheated an' you know it!" I heard a country voice say. "Says you!" A brash tomboyish voice argued. I rounded the tree to find Applejack and Rainbow Dash arguing. "What's going on here?" I asked. "Well, me an' Dash were havin' another Iron Pony competition, until she cheated!" AJ explained, Dash scoffing. "And neither of you thought to hire somepony to, I don't know, judge this thing?" I asked with a smirk. Dash blushed a little as she admitted, "Yeah, that would make it fair." As I stifled a giggle, a small orange blur shot right up to us. "Twilight!" A small orange Pegasus gasped, "Fluttershy needs you right away!" "Thank you Scootaloo." I said, taking off towards Fluttershy's cottage. "Twilight, thank goodness you're here!" Fluttershy exclaimed, opening the door to her cottage. "It's awful, just awful!" "I came as fast as I heard," I replied, running through her cottage, "What happened?" "I found her in the Everfree, she was mumbling things." Fluttershy answered as we reached the bedroom door, "I brought her here as fast as I could." We opened the door to find a blue unicorn with a white mane staring at the ceiling as she mumbled to herself. I stepped closer to listen in, only to recognize the unicorn. It was Trixie. Hesitantly, I leaned in towards her, and flinched at her words. "He is coming. The one who craves revenge! A message! One for the king! He shall stand at deaths gate! He shall decide the owner of the last breath! A war! One that will break reality! He must choose!" "Trixie, who would choose?" I asked her quietly. "The one who's life is an endless circle! The man turned Alicorn! The one who governs life!" She practically yelled. "WHO?!" I yelled back, causing Fluttershy to jump back. "You know him Twilight! Trixie knows you know. You call him friend. Let's see if he's that at the End!" Trixie answered, now sitting up and staring at me. "I won't ask again, who is it?!" I growled. With a smirk, Trixie answered, "Paradox shall choose who will live when Life will die." Prometheus's POV 3,000 years I've waited. 3,000 years since Paradox defeated me. But he made a grave mistake. For the place he sent me, I found an ally who told me how to seize my revenge. And, I get to wipe out those damned ponies too. Soon enough, I'll get what's mine.
