Twilight? Where are you Twilight? A voice echoed in the mind of a sleeping Twilight Sparkle. “Who's there? Where am I? Why is everything so dark?” Twilight asked in a nervous tone. “Don't you recognize me? I am from that other world that you visited. I am you.” The shadowy figure finally came into her peripheral vision. “You look like me. But you are different.” “Yes I am different because in that dimension you took over my place. “Everyone you met here. Pinky Pie, Rarity ,Spike, Fluttershy and even Applejack came from....” The figure explained before vanishing into light. Twilight Sparkle awoken in a jump and fell on the floor. “She said, I mean I said that came from somewhere but where was this?” The purple pony now a princess was in a swirl of questions since she had returned from that other dimension. “ I must find out about that other world and why it's still haunting my dreams.” __________________________________Chapter I_________________________________________ Twilight Sparkle was still in a bit of curiosity and wander while she was frantically looking around the Canterlot royal Archives. As she was looking around a curious Spike was looking at her frantic fetch for any information about the mysterious race she encountered in the world she spent such a short time in. “Twilight you are starting to worry me. Why are you even concerned about that world? I mean I was a dog and you where what ever those coat less creatures where.” Spike asked Twilight. “Because Spike I had a dream that my mirror image came to me and told me that I took over her place in that world. I am curious how they became to be. And how my time may have altered that dimension.” Twilight sparkle answered in her little snappy tone she usually gives spike. “I think maybe you should stop right there my faithful protégé.” A stern voice said scaring both Spike and Twilgiht Sparkle. Princess Celestia was standing behind both Spike and Twilight in a sad voice. “Princess Celestia. You know something don't you?” Twilight asked her former teacher. “Twilight Sparkle, I have a confession. Ever since I sent you to that world I knew that your curiosity would cause you to study on those creatures known as humans and that they lived amongst us thousands of years ago.” “Wait they lived here?” Twilight asked her former teacher. “Yes come with me we must talk about this alone. Spike you are not allowed to come since only Alicorn's and certain high authority are allowed to traverse to. “Welcome to the hall of the ancient ones Twilgiht.” Twilight was shocked by the statues of humans and ponies all In one room. They have been a guarded secret from pony kind not as a cruel punishment but to protect the balance of the world we both live in.” Celestia explained getting a dusty book off. “So let me start by saying that yes humans and ponies lived in the same realm as well as the Draconequus. The Humans where our closest friends, helping us build our young kingdom and they built their kingdom where Everfree forrest now stands however it was called The Kingdom of Everfree. And was a lively place. The Draconequus where a race all their own as well however they where as evil and as menacing as Discord was before he was reformed. Let me tell you their story. “Along time ago when I was but a filly my Father and Mother ruled all of Equestria along with the Human King. However their Queen had died during the birth of their son Prince Star. It was a rainy day in Equestria. King Sun and Celestia where looking out at the storm that loomed for what seemed like miles. “Daughter look at this beautiful world we created for you and your future brother or sister to rule someday. The Pegasus pony's that control the weather will be in your hands as well as the unicorns that study magic. As well as the Earth Ponies and the humans will be your help. Since they are our allies and brothers. But beware the Draconequus and their king “Chaos.” The king said teaching his Daughter. “But father why are the Draconequus our enemies? Can't we be friends some day?” Celestia asked her father. “I'm sorry Celestia, But the Draconequus are evil and we have tried in the past to co exist with them and it never worked out for either of us.” King Sun explained to his daughter. Celestia was kind of sad that the Draconequus where so evil and could never find love or friendship. “I just wish that maybe one day they could change.” Celestia mumbled under her breathe. Just as the king looked down and smiled at his filly daughter a knight came walking up to them explaining that the Human King was here to ask for an audience with him. “Yes allow him in after all he is our friend and brother. “Yes your Majesty.” The knight nodded and walked away. “Celestia you can return to your play room for the day we are finished for today's lectures.” The King explained muzzling his daughter. Downstairs in the royal throne room King Sondra was awaiting his friend. When he noticed the Queen walking to her throne with a bit of trouble since she was near the end of her pregnancy. “Your highness. Can I be of assistance to you?” King Sondra asked with a worried voice. “You're so sweet my friend but I'll be fine. A little kick is all it was.” The queen chuckled while sitting down in her thrown. “Okay. But if you need anything my loyal servants that I have brought with me will be more then enough to help you.” King Sondra explained looking at his Servants. Just as he was saying that the King finally made it to his throne room. “Ah my brother how are you doing today?” King Sun asked his friend. “I am doing fine my brother. The preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration is just about completed. And should be done a day before the celebration.” King Sondra explained to the king with a smile. “Each pony and human are diligently working with each other to make sure everything works just fine.” King Sondra explained to the King. “That is fine, But I have a pressing issue with my Daughter, It seems like she is growing lonely and I know that our 2nd foal is on the way. But she does need a friend. Hey why don't we introduce Prince Star to her.” King Sun asked King Sondra. “That would be great he has been lonely as well. And needs a good friend to play with and this may be beneficial for our future since we must contain Harmony.” King Sondra replied with a smile. “What do you think honey?” King Sun asked his wife. “I will permit it after all she will need some one to help her learn how to play with children, fillies and colts her age. We will introduce them two at the Summer sun celebration.” Queen Moon shine explained with a laughed. “Thank you, both of you. King Sondra said as he made his exit with a nod and a smile on his face. “ “Darling what's wrong?” Queen Moonshine asked her husband with a concerned look. “I'm just hoping that the magical shield will be enough to keep out any dangers while our citizens and children play.” King Sun explained. “I'm sure everything will be fine darling.” Queen Moonshine replied nuzzling her husband. > Destiny of two young souls > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________CHAPTER 2 Destiny of two young souls_________________________ That night in the land of Disarray a dark and plotting King Chaos was looking through a crystal globe. “Ah those miserable humans and Ponies, How I hate their perfect little friendship, Their perfect little lives and their loving kings and Queen. Tomorrow we will strike. My Army will destroy them and I will be the new King. The King of Disharmony!” King Chaos explained to his adviser Adros. Adros was in complete agreement with his King. “So how do we go through with it my adviser? King Chaos asked his closest friend. “I say we set them up for betrayal.” Adros explained. “But how do we get passed their shield. Only humans and ponies can get through....” King Chaos explained when he had a thought. The next morning was a great one. The day of the summer solstice festival was going as planned King Sun had lowered the moon and raised the sun due to Queen Moonshine being pregnant he took over both duties. “My brother and sister raising the sun and lowering of the moon is some of the best moments of all of our lives we will forever be friends and never part. But when our time has come we must give our duties to our children.” King Sondra explained to all human and pony kind. “Yes My brother we must someday pass off our duties. Princess Celestia please come here and stand in front of me. King Sun asked his daughter to come before him. “...Yes Father.” Celestia responded and walked and turned her attention to the thousands of on lookers. “Prince Star please come before your father and stand in front of me.” King Sondra explained calling for his son.” “Yes Father. Prince Sun responded and stood in front of his father looking at the same crowd that Princess Celestia was seeing. “May we introduce the two children that will keep our kingdoms in Harmony and Peace. These two children will be united by a new friendship. And as they grow old they will protect each other as King Sondra and I have for years.” King Sun explained The cheers thundered for what seemed miles. “One more thing. Princess Celestia I want you to have my chest piece to keep so you can remember this day always. “King Sun explained using his magic to remove his chest piece from him and placed it around Princess Celestia. However it was still a little too big for her however she was so happy to have received her fathers most cherished piece of jewelry. “And when my next child is born he or she will have queen Moonshines chest piece. And will take her job as well.” King Sun explained smiling. “So children go and play with each other learn from one another and start your new friendship as of today.” Queen moonshine said excusing the two children.” “So Celestia that's how you got your chest piece?” Twilight Sparkle asked her former teacher. “Yes. And Luna as well got her chest piece from mother.” Princess Celestia responded. Before going back to reading the book. ____________________________Later that afternoon at the festival._____________________ Prince Star and Celestia spent the entire day playing games eating what ever delicious treats they could find and spent the rest of the day sitting at a lake watching the sun go down. Prince Star was happy and so was Celestia. “So princess Celestia what do you like to do?” Prince Star asked his new equine friend. “Me? I love to study magic. I hope to one day be as powerful as my father and have the same love for my subjects as my mother. I just hope that one day I can share my kingdom with you and my brother or sister.” Princess Celestia explained with a sad voice. Prince Star saw that Princess Celestia was a little sad and brushed it off. “Yeah I'm pretty sure we will. Hey I have an idea come with me!” Prince Star got up and ran with Celestia not too far behind him. They ran until they found two statues surrounded by a circle. “Were are we Prince Star?” Celestia asked her new friend. “My father used to bring me here all the time when I was lonely or sad. As you may or may not know my Mother died after I was born. And he would come here and it would make him a little bit happier to know that at a time Queen Moonshine and my mother Queen Luna where once friends.” Prince Star explained telling his story. “Really my mother and your mother where friends?” Princess Celestia asked. “Yes. That's how we all became united as one. Pony kind and humans became under one house. Because of our mothers and our fathers.” “Oh what a wonderful story.” A shadowy figure in the background said menacingly. “Who's there? Who are you?” Prince Star said standing in front of Celestia protecting her. “Oh I'm the Son of King Chaos! I am Prince Discord and I am here to play with you” Discord said “Why do you think we would ever let you join? You are the son of our parents enemy.” Prince Star asked the young Discord. “Prince Star don't be mean to him. I think maybe we can all play together even if our parents don't see eye to eye. Maybe one day we could bring peace by us all being friends.” Celestia said in her young optimistic voice. “Yes Prince Star don't be such a sour lemon.” Discord said handing Prince star a lemon. “I guess, But no weird stuff. Or this friendship is over.” Prince Star said with Pessimism. So the three decided to play together in the garden for what seemed like hrs. Back at the celebration. King Sun and Prince Sondra where walking in the streets with guards marching behind them in complete care and attention from any could be threats. “So King Sondra what are your plans for your son?” King Sun asked his friend. “Well we just have to keep the harmony between both our races in line. He will one day grow old and become an advisor or maybe even captain of the royal guard over my kingdom and will rule with a Queen by his side.” King Sun explained. “What about you?” King Sondra asked. “Well Princess Celestia will take over my place and my future daughter or son will take over both our duties and we will become one with the Celestial plane. And we will look over Equestria from there just like our parents did.” King sun explained King Sondra had a depressed look on his face. “And when that day comes I will no longer have you or Queen Moonbeam as a friend.” “Don't be so sad my brother, When your time comes you will be with us as well. Just like with every animal and human when we die our bodies remain but our spirits will last forever. You will be with us.” King Sun said comforting his depressed brother with a wing on Sondras shoulder. “Thanks my brother.” King Sun expressed his gratitude laughing. While walking they noticed that they where walking outside of the the castle walls. They knew that it was a risk but they walked anyways. “Guards please be on the lookout for any suspicious activity . __________________________Land of Disarray_____________________________________ The night before the summer sun celebration King Chaos was talking to his advisor Adros about an attack. “Sire I think we need to ask the Changling queen for her assistance. She could help us. Queen Si̱mademénos.” Adros plotted. “Hmm maybe my soldiers could become Sheeps in wolves clothing.” King Chaos thought stroking his beard.” ___________________________TO BE CONTINUED!_________________________________
