Dead Silence

by Silence

Warrior Within'

Slowly, an environment began to materialize around her. It was not her sight tricking her; a forest was actually recreating itself in front of her. She wiped her eyes to make sure what she saw was real. Sure enough, the trees and forest floor was still there. Silence wandered timidly into the woods, being careful to watch out for anything. She started out at a slow walk, examining every-thing around her, and then she saw the glint of something in the distance. There was a bright flash and she felt a wave of vibrations underneath her. She progressively picked up her walking pace until she was at a full out sprint, running towards the gleaming object that was now moving. Then she saw what was happening before her. A pony was wielding what appeared to be a sword. The pony had a cloak and was fighting off shadow like creatures. The hooded figure moved with such precision, such skill, parrying blows and attacks from all sides. The battle gave her a feeling she hadn't experienced before. Her eyes began to glow as the ground around her began to come into color. She looked down at her hooves to see them being coated in metallic plates, a suit of armor. She felt all of the pieces stop at the mane and form around it, letting her hair fly loose. The cloaked figure stopped fighting when it noticed all of the shadowy figures staring in one direction. He turned a jumped back in shock at seeing the new pony, in a sterling silver set of armor. Shortly after, as if by magic, a sword began to rise up from the very ground in front of her. Her eyes glowed with an assortment of colors, resembling a rainbow.

Silence heard a voice speaking from within her, a voice that she had never heard but one that was so heart-warming, one that filled her with strength. It spoke to her and said,” Silence, my dear, you have finally arrived. Brandish the blade in front of you and help the pony fend against the monster surrounding him. I shall give you the strength and knowledge to use the weapon, you must merely believe in me and lend to me your heart so that I may transfer the raw power into you. Once your battle is over, rest and I shall speak to you again." With that, a burst of light ex-ploded from Silence's armor, outlining her in a rainbow colored aura. The new Silence grabbed the blade and jumped in next to the pony that had been fighting. The battle resumed. The hooded figure danced left and right striking the monsters but seemingly doing nothing. Then, Silence's blade sparked and filled with a bright light, cause the ground around it to become full of life. The monsters shied away from the land, as if trying to avoid it. Silence sprinted in a circle; surrounding the beasts in a circle of beautiful, lush, emerald green grass. She then ran at them, forcing them onto the land. They screamed and began to transform and they touched the ground. They themselves began to fill with color and become ponies. Silence and the robed figure watched in awe as the shadow figures now became warrior ponies, pledging their allegiance to the Queen, looking at Silence. Queen? Silence was no queen, or at least, not one that she knew of. Then again, she hadn't been an allicorn until recently. She bowed to them group of five or so of them and instructed them to build a town by gathering wood from the trees. She also told them to follow any orders given to them by the mysterious pony. Then she lay down in the grass and began to sleep.
