Uprising
I only wanted what was best for her.
From the very start, that was all I ever wanted. She arrived the same way they all did, but she was far greater than they. She was, without a doubt, the next great. Or rather, she would be.
She was strong, but she lacked focus. She lacked the restraint necessary to be one of the greats. But, with the right training, she would be great.
She would be the best.
I treated her the way I would have treated one of my own flesh and blood. I gave her all the love, kindness, and freedom she desired, giving her a little nudge in the right direction when needed. She grew. She prospered. She strengthened.
It was a thing of beauty really. The transition from neophyte to master is always an exiting one to watch. I saw it first in Starswirl the Bearded. He began by moving pebbles, and ended with moving mountains. It was thrilling then, and incredible now. Everything she was set to learn, she did.
She was a fast learner.
I tried to find a spell she could not learn. Giving wings to a pony. Walking on clouds. Age manipulation. Teleportation. All of these were master level spells. Things that even the oldest and most skilled of magicians had difficulty performing. She mastered them in days. She was a genius level unicorn with magical abilities that put all others to shame. It was... godlike.
After weeks and weeks of planning, I formulated a plan to make her what she was destined to be.
She was destined to become a god. She was magic, the strongest of the six elements.
We made her a god.
She was the child I could never have.
She was my magnum opus.
She was my undoing.
"A kingdom? Of course! It will be a perfect opportunity for you to learn how to rule! You'll be granted your own kingdom right away!"
It wasn't a big kingdom. Some small territories out on the border. She had asked for nothing fancy, and that was what I gave her. With it, she could learn about her new role as a goddess. I gave her what I thought was best for her.
She never got the chance.
We, the Alicorns, were called together to judge the actions of a unicorn. This unicorn had used what some considered to be "illegal magic". We debated the topic for a bit, but the conversation was dominated by the student.
"After all, I am the element of Magic. Shouldn't I be the one to decide what magic the mortals can use?"
This unicorn was not a resident of my students kingdom. She had no control over my subject. What she claimed was control over magic itself. The idea was absurd. I did not claim dominion over every creature that had ever seen sunlight. How could she claim that anypony connected to magic was her domain? If so, she controlled anypony who had ever felt friendship.
I had felt friendship.
I had felt it for my nephew, Blueblood. For my sister, Luna. For Cadence my niece.
I had felt friendship for her.
I had loved her like my kin. Treated her as if she were my own child. I had taught her. Trained her. Nurtured her. I had made her a god. I had raised her from the common muck and mire of equinity to be my protege. She was my student. My one and only personal student. The one I had selected from thousands, nay, millions of unicorns who wished to grow beneath my wings.
I chose her. She was special.
Her power and potential were one thing, yes. But she was chosen for something deeper. I saw in her a fire. A fire that hungered to learn magic. Never before had I seen a unicorn attack the books and study with such great gusto.
Not since I myself had done so, many eons ago. I saw so much of myself in her. For her to abuse her position in this way was unthinkable. Something had to be done. She had to be shown the error of her ways, before her errors destroyed her.
I would not let her be destroyed.
I came to her in private. I told her that what she was doing was wrong. I pleaded. I begged.
She refused.
I would not let her be destroyed.
I told her that I would not stand for this. I could not bear to watch as she corrupted herself. I would stop her from destroying herself. By force if necessary.
"I made you what you are, Twilight! You are my student, and I-"
"I was your student Princess. You made me your equal, and you will treat me as such!"
With that, the beautifully ornate stained glass windows, each depicting scenes of my student's triumphs, shattered into pieces. The drove of razor shards was hurled at me, lacerating my flesh. Every cut felt like a dagger piercing my skin. I was unconcerned with those.
I was concerned with the dagger that had pierced my heart.
Everything I had done. All of my training, love, and kindness. All for naught.
The student had surpassed the master.
After the glass attack, I felt my bones shatter as the glass before them had. They cracked like twigs beneath the magical pressure my protege exerted. I screamed.
Not from pain.
But from sorrow.
I wailed. Hot tears streamed from my eyes, their salt stinging against my wounds. Blood and tears mingled upon my broken visage, as I stared up at my student. I screamed.
She had been a daughter to me once. Now she dispatched me like a stranger. Such was the end for me. A creator felled by the monster she made. I had taken her in, and made her what she was.
I only wanted what was best for her.

That's what you get for making her a abomination, you die with extreme prejudice. Hasbro take notes
I thought this was marked complete. Not that I am complaining. Also, does anyone know how to make emoticons without memorizing them on this stupid new mobile version of the site?
2374763
It is conjecture. That is implied by the fact that it is fiction.
2374885
It was originally. Then it became popular for an unknown reason. Also changed to teen to allow me a bit more violence.
2374898 It became popular because it was linked either in Wanderer D's blog, or in a comment below, IIRC.
2374914
I know that. My question is why anyone cares about my wretched fanfiction. :
2374951Wretched? My dear boy, this story is simply extraordinary!
2374914
hi
i think you're talking about me
or maybe wanderer d did it too idk
but anyway this story got popular because it's awesome
and deserves to be noticed
2375034 Precisely.
2374951
seriously? It got where it is because deep down MOST of us see Twilight going in this direction! the ONLY place where it is guarenteed NOT to go like this is in the cartoon. Sure, Twilight has never gotten a big head about all that she has done but now comes the question, is that PUBLICALLY?
this looks like it would have the potainal to be agreat canon episode...... If Hasbro weren't complete pussies on introdusing dark elements into a kid show meant for little girls.
2375873 But then when more adult themes are introduced, much of the fandom gets pissed off.
2379580 like for what, as an example?
2379092
This is a fic about ponies. If you really wish to over analyze it, write a blog entry and cry about it.
2379898 The show we all fell in love with wasn't meant to be for us, it was meant for little girls. They have their girly little things in it and such. But if the show introduced themes that are not meant for little girls, then we would stop having conventions. We would stop having thriving communities. The show would cease to be something magical, it would fail to captivate that little part of all of us that like it. Our "inner child" or so some say.
I just don't want to see Rainbow Dash asking Twilight how big Big Mac's dick is, or something like that. This show is an escape from all that to me.
2375034 I see you around here sometimes, and I always think, "why does this person who claims to be a parasprite have fluttershy as an avatar?"
2380286
Because the irony of such a thing is delicious. Just like I have a name made up on nonsense words with Pinkie Pie as an avatar.
2380292 hurhurhur
I'm a dragon.
2380277 i meant like dark elements this story has. The idea of Twilight turning against everything she believed in to, basicly, get more power and take over the world.
that's what i meant, something like that. But since the show is geared more to little girls, and thanks to Disney always pureifying and glorifying princesses, it's doubtful a fic like this will ever see the light of canon.
2380294
Congratulations.
2380300 But we will always have fanfiction at least
2380286
o rly

You sir never cease to amaze me.
Precisely 1,000 words, twice?
2450351
Soon to be Thrice.
2385703 Ixion someone who is a dick for the sake of being a dick
She was the chosen one!
That should be 'student's', other than that, I'm enjoying the story and the differing perspectives here.
Oh no.
Are we going through the perspectives of the other ponies?
The Mane 6?
Spike?
Best brace myself.
I mean Magic is good but however given to someone who actually then is treated like a god can go horribly wrong. Twilight was given love respect freedom and the right direction but then just turns on them and then becomes a tyrant. I mean wtf twilight sparkle. But thankfully it doesn’t happen in the show. Hasbro is a tv company and they make TV shows like Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony. Thank god the show mlp doesn’t go in that direction because it is a kid’s show.
