//------------------------------// // Chapter I // Story: What Makes Us Stronger // by Velocyty Spectrym //------------------------------// On day wrote in red and short of head Do we start the tale of a Pegasus now Paucity is sped as we go now in stead She started in vow of not a final bow Shattered clocks hold fate in but box We ask then how not sweat stay a brow Rainbow locks thick like raven flocks Viridian amber maize amethyst so flow On draconic ebon knocks hit the rocks To her grows walks further in so rows Twixt Heaven and Hell steps he in day In one who knows death gives no blows Now here do he say in dark tone stray “To one who enters in now be prepared In every way to my dark claw so stay” For challenges she cared so she dared “Give me the best shot from your cave What is shared shant have you spared” “To all but knave ponies seem a slave And weigh with but this single shadow Anubis is grave and not by this save” “It bring to gallow ponies so shallow It leaves wake of a foul gilded steed No soul it endow and less it so show” Rainbow lay in reed twixt stone bleed And answer the riddle of his one bell “It can indeed be only hoof of greed” The dragon tell this now of his spell “Turned once when thrice is so needed In this ell find you must true quell” “Ponies have leaded and not so feeded But they feel bitter tongues of flame Word be heeded because they conceded” “Oppressors hooves tame and make lame Those who stand upon razor edges here In this name no house be in any fame” Rainbow rise to leer but machine gear And so she gave the word of her fates “They fall on this spear in but fear” The dragon stay gates she still sates He tells of his ultimatum in this end “This dissipates our true stalemates” “You and others bend not to so offend You must love patiently in the storms The glues mend and the shield defend” “But keep these norms for so it warms Free your icy soul from this hardship Earth and water forms as it performs” Rainbow had slip off her very own lip The words that make her free now true “Magics strip away sin in friendship” The dragon knew thrice this foe strew The words he needed for games of foam And flew Rainbow Everfree now through These in a tome of friend answer roam Prior read words can one life so keep Past dark dome lies in friends a home But so steep is a story which we reap Beyond the shattered veins often rest Monsters creep and shadows will sleep She did test what she thought so best And went away in the misty vernal sky Never blest for her stopping at crest Chimera did fly in airs of coarse rye So appoint it a final question of all Foals cast die if her wit is not spry Enclosing ball beyond such murky call Did wrap the pegasus so cocky in mind Hear so the thrall to create her fall The beast unkind belted as fang grind “So hear me for I am last to be heard Fate will bind if puzzle stay behind” “This word operates everypony in herd So long as you hold the crystal glass Of this unheard now in you unoccured” “Feed metal rain in mass to breed gas For the hate of all is this coal anew Iron chain and brass let you so pass” “For wit of few say what this accrue” Bold did the pegasus say her words so “In our dark hours do all want power” The world grow dark as bells toll low And hear the words that tell you fate “Cry doth crow as falsity turns snow” The world sate in a darkened delegate Rose turns blood and rivers run black So mercy great salve us from our hate Light come back as we see not a crack In rock bindings Rainbow in her world Does attack the walls of earthen rack So now unfurled the pain great hurled By frozen rains of her shadow haunted On her swirled typhoon robe so curled For all flaunted that had all daunted The dreams we see in maelstrom bitter Are so taunted for they stay unwanted Her wings flitter as soul do embitter Her in her flawed way so she now pray To stop a splitter of worlds aglitter Year could be day or the month be May Matter it not for we are set to droll She now may end the world she so fray In the demonic hole she paid her toll Never we learn without a drop of rain “In whole we must master but control” So end the rain and in extension pain She lasted through this a fallen path In Hell in terrain and a meadow grain We all do feel the wrath of aftermath And so Rainbow did feel wiser in this In bloodbath maybe not but so we hath Serpent can hiss and death so us kiss Before we can even follow her own way But one like this goes from our abyss By this I do say that we are now gray Age can take us but we never drink it Parched ray can take a good life away So she walks how fit and rides in wit But never again must she in mind laze For misfortune can hit what be acquit Never Rainbow turn her gaze to a maze That brought her column to crash down Beyond a mirror haze the soul so raze Prosperous one in town we so do crown Never let the ways of old ever return Prepare thy gown for Elysium do drown Never let waters churn that will burn These ropes that in you remain strong Take what you earn and go off to learn So we see righted this wrong all along The ways we feel are not of goodness In fire lay tong and forged be this song
