Prologue of Elisabeth

View Online

Hi I am Elisabeth but most people call me “Nightshade” for the fact that they mostly see me at night and well here's a little secret. I have an uncanny ability to change what I look like and if you guys or should I say ponies had not realized yet I am not on earth anymore the thing is I had a good life with theses powers that I got by practicing magic but it went wrong. I did in fact wake up with a symbol that was in the center of my chest and tried to translate it but I failed.

I am the type that is always trying new things mostly magic and had a lot of time since I learned magic at a young age. I made spells for cleaning cooking reading and seeing what is on others minds, And yes I did screw up most of those and got badly hurt but they turnout fine in the end.

Well anyway when I was trying to fix a broken arm and leg that will be explained in the story I didn't know what went wrong but after a week my body heal. I started to find out what happen I could change my form at will. First I was terrified of it and I found out it is permanent.

So I tried to do stuff like help people and do it my way. I do admit the power went to my head and did allot of bad thing since, my life lasts a lot longer than humans I've outlive all my friends and that what broke me then a being that I didn't know she called her Celestia and she wanted to help, and “NO” she was not in pony form she was in a human one. I did not believe her and well tick her off a little and that is why, and how I am in Equestria and this is my story and how it begins and then ends. or does it?

The beginning

I am just siting in my house I own for half a century but under an annalist “nightshade” I do have a job or two one is an assassin, and the other is a story teller at a day care. It pays to have two jobs and powers. Today the children wanted me to read “Cinderella” so I did, it was not all bad her step mom an sisters were being there evilest they could be, but everything turnout for the best for her not her siblings. After the story was over and they went to find a book to take home I was getting ready to go home and get ready for other actives of mine when my boss name Juan wanted to talk to me. Since it has been a while since everyone i know died i was not to happy and he didn't help with this.

“Elisabeth have you been feeling well you looked down.”he said and I tried not to look like I would kill him.

“I'm find just that this weekend I'm going to visit my friends and family they live close by but I haven’t seen them in a while” I said I lie my friends and family died along time and I wanted to see their graves and I tried to fight back my tears. Juan must have seen me sad.

“ Elisabeth you seem to have problems you should take the rest of the week off and PLEASE take the money and enjoy yourself” he said sounded worried and he know I was sad but won't say anything. I did not need the money from this job so I refuse the money but took the week off. He probable well have Shay the new girl that loves reading take my place for the time being.

At home I let myself change to my true form and cried for the fact that I do not age but I watch everyone I cared about die, but not join them because of this body of mine. After what felt like hours I got into a new form for my other job of assassinating the scum of the world. The job was a bit of a strange one it request me to kill a person name “J.T”. I look for the name of said person is what I always do. I research him, but I couldn't find him so by some reason I was a bit too curious who sent the request but the only thing that I can find out who it was and meet “her?” She wanted to meet me on Saturday this weekend so I sent her a reply that say
“yes”. After all this stuff for the week since I had free time. I went to the grave to say hi to everyone.

“hi mom, dad, old friends I'm still doing fine I wish I was with you” I said crying at the memory of all of my friends still hoping this was a nightmare that I can just wake up from.

After I got home I got ready for this Saturday. I got a reply said to be on a school roof that had a familiar name “Miracle Academe” and it was close by. I spent the next few days just relaxing thinking I should do something for the boss one day for this little vacation maybe for his birthday next month. On Sunday on top of Miracle Academe.

“where are you?” I said as I waited for a response from her if she even came.

“so you came I am Celestia of Equestria “ as she said her name now that was funny and I hadn't laugh that hard in years and she had a stupid look on her face when I laughed at her.

“HAY!! I do not take will when people insult other by them stupid!” Celestia said looking a bit mad. Wait is she reading my mine.“yes “ she said looking even more mad when she know that I wanted to kill her myself for intruding on my privacy.

“That will be quit enough of that I think you need to be taught a lesson.” I was trying saying before everything went black.

When I woke up I was in a place that look allot like a dungeon. When I look at my hands and feet I had shackles on and I heard Celestia and some other voices coming from down the hallway so I pretended to be asleep.

“ I know you are awake “ Celestia said and I look up pissed that I can't fool her then I look for the voices that came from a pony.

“Okay where the hidden camera “ I said looking around with a nervous laugh.

“There are none and your in Equestria now where my student and her friends will be getting you to rehabilitate like another being that been allot like you but not as good and not trying to kill others” Celestia said as I found the shook looks on the faces of six multi color ponies standing right behind her.

“So “Lestia” what do you mean?” I said trying to figured-out what happen an getting a few laughs at the time.

“ it's "CELESTIA!” and she means that we are going to do what we did to the sprite of chaos named “Discord”.” the purple pony with the horn and wings said a bit red from yelling at me about their rulers name.

Then I suddenly change my form and voice and mimic her by saying “ what we did to the sprite of chaos named “Discord”.” and laugh at their expressions still looking and sounding like the purple pony.

“wha the how what are who. How did you do that is it and a illusion?” the purple one said confuse.

”no it's just a curse that can't be broken” I said and remember all of my dead friends and family and then a pink pony that seem to have had “WAY” to much sugar came to me.

“WHATSYOURNAMEMINEPINKIEPIE” pinkie pie said. I look up hearing the words pinkie and pie and I undo my new form back to the one I used for work.

“Oh my name is “Elisabeth” but some people call me nightshade will they use to, and I'm 110 years old.” they all look at me with a surprise stare when I mention my age an I felt nervous.

“well now twilight you and your friends are reasonable for her take care.” Celestia blurted out of no where.

“Okay princess Celestia and we won't let you down” me and Twilight said at the same time scaring everyone because I suddenly turn back into her and started laughing again.

”will you stop that” we said at the same time. Me and twilight look around confuse because we heard laughter it was pinkie pie.

“That is so funny oh can you do me and your new here I have to throw a party back in Ponyville” pinkie pie said while literally bouncing of the walls and doing other things even I thought was imposable and had to ask.

“how is she doing that and where does she get the stuff from?” I asked Twilight next to “princess” Celestia.

“ Oh that don't worry pinkie all ways doing that I don't know how she's doing it too.” she said before continuing trying to calm down her friend “pinkie calm down, and Elisabeth we do need to get going back home you “ARE” coming with us and I have some questions that I just have to ask back in Ponyville.”twilight said to me and I saw her eyes sparkle with curiosity to learn more. On the way to the train station I got the sudden feeling that I won't like the questions that twilight was going to ask at her home.

“Um since I don't know all of you're names except Pinkie and Twilight what are your names?” I ask the others 4 mares while watching pinkie somehow pull a canon and a cake out of no were.

“ I'm Rainbow dash fastest flier in all of Equestria” she said boasting about how fast she is probably the easiest of them all to impress with a silly trick except pinkie pie.

“ I'm Rarity the clothing designer of Ponyville” the white color pony said. Telling me about how she is a clothing designer of their town.

“ Ah'm Applejack nice to meet you miss Elisa” she said. “ Ah run a apple orchard out side of Ponyville."

“ you girls can call me Nightshade it what I'm use to be call by my friends I guess you all can use it if you want.” I said to them even though I just meet them an I still regret I told them that much even my boss does not know who I really am or what. I also get this feeling this is going to be along day tomorrow since it's getting late when we got onto the train and “everypony?” sat down and I look out at the sky for what seems like hours when I felt a hoof touch me just when I started to remember my past.

“um Elisabeth what's wrong y'all look might sad.” said Applejack for a moment I thought I saw my sister in her an almost started to cry but I stop it.

“ its nothing Applejack just a memory that I don't feel like bring up.” I said with a poker face that would bring most poker player to shame.

“ ah know y'ah lying! An it won't help keeping it to y'ah self.” she said. Me and the other ponies were surprise by how their friend yelled at me even I am she seem out of character there.

“ Sorry but its something I don't like talking about” I said even my “NEW” friend if I had any, back home didn't know much about me that not even my true age. When she saw that I was crying she stop trying to fine out more and just sat there trying comforting me tell we got to Ponyville, and I went with twilight because she ask me to stay the night with her and I saw that she lives in a library she told me her assistant Spike was with a couple of filly called the “cutie mark crusaders” and she let me sleep on the spare bed in her guess room and didn't bother me for awhile and I sleep all night. except when diner was ready but i didn't feel like eating hay and stuff like that.

The next day

I had nightmares before but this one was different I was use to seeing my victims that I “assassinated” but this one was different I woke up because twilight got scared when she heard me screaming. When she finally got me up I notice that I was radical with blood along with scares when I notice them I used my power and made them go away. While I did that twilight tried to ask what happen all I said was “it alright it happens sorry for troubling you” that seem to make her unhappy and she ask again but before she did I vanished. I wanted to go somewhere to calm down when I reappeared I was on a mountain I crying for all my passed mistakes and past out there when I was done still some tears flowed down my face while I sleep again.

Alicorn Twilight's view

Spike should be back home soon I wanted him to meet someone Twilight thought.

“aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh” Elisabeth screaming in pain while asleep.

What going on in there she thought as she was running into the guest room to see why Elisa was screaming. When she entered the room. What she saw was Elisabeth body cut up and bloody she panic trying to wake her up without touching Elisabeth for she thought Elisabeth would be in more pain. So she remembered a spell to wake up anypony it work. She tried to ask her what was all that was about but Elisabeth didn't want to talk, and teleported some where.

“What just happened, why was she bleeding, what was up with her body” Twilight said out loud then she heard banging on her door and thought it was Elisa and ran down and opened it. “Elisabeth wha oh hi Pinkie pie I need help” she ask pinkie pie who she hope was Elisabeth but was pink pony that was worrying what was wrong.


“whathappenTwilightissomethingwrongwhereisNightshadeissheintroubleorsomething!?” pinkie ask rapidly while trying not to hurt twilight with her shaking.

“calm down pinkie and who's nightshade?” twilight ask forgetting about Elisa's nickname. while getting out of her friend's grasp.

“Its her nickname she told us her friend call her that” pinkie pie said. And told her I needs help and to get the other four and spike then I will explain what happen.

She saluted and disappeared in the next 10 minutes she return with the other 5 and I told them what happen in as much detail as I could when I finish they all gasp an Rarity, and Fluttershy both fainted.

“that horrible sugarcube do y'ah have any ideals where she might have gone?” applejack said wide eye in the thought of what she just heard.

“I don’t know but it cannot be far I think me and rainbow dash will fly around I bet she went somewhere as far as she could get. she look hurt so maybe as far Canterlot “ twilight said and they all took off. It was not tell that after noon when they found her on a mountain calm, asleep and still crying.

“There she is I think” Rainbow dash said leading the way to where Elisa is.

“should we wake her” spike asking the other six. They all thought it would be best she to let her sleep but they need to know why. “yes” they all answer in unison and twilight used the same spell she used to wake up the screaming Elisabeth.

I woke up all of the sudden with the six ponies and something that looks like a baby dragon. Then I heard one of them asking why I ran away instead of asking for help. I know I can't run forever so I told them that I will tell them what happen after we return to Twilight's home and have a bet of food since I am hungry and so are they because I could hear them grumble in hunger probably from running around the place looking for me.

My past revealed

After we all got back to Twilight's home “we took a different way so I don't freak anypony out” and got something to eat I started to tell them about my past, and what I use to do for a living before coming here. I told them about the incident that led me to change my form that, and when I figure out that I would not age thinks to the spell being a healing spell it would not even let me be “harmed” by father time and how I got my two jobs as well why I acted in the first place at the end Fluttershy was the first to speak.

“ oh you poor thing “ she said and gave me a huge an that help me calm down my nerves after telling my life story to them. " you had it really bad."

“so that why I saw you all hurt Elisa” twilight ask wide eye with tears coming out. All I did was node.

“ It also because all my traumas that I suffered I tried everything to get over them but nothing work I would have ended my life if I could but this curse” I said pulling down my shirt showing them the mark I have from the spell and twilight got closer to see it better.

“I've never seen a mark like this it's not in any books” twilight said and I nodded even though I know it is not a mark that's anypony been seen before.

“I know but I feel allot better coming clean about my past” I said happy finally having someone know me for real as I turn into a 7 year old girl.

“Hey nightshade why did they call you by that you're “friends?” pinkie pie said then became nervous after everypony except me was glaring at her for asking that question.

“oh that's easy its because I love being outside, and awake at night looking up at the stares and sleeping most of the day” I said to pinkie who seem to have some plan for me soon but I dismissed it feeling like she harmless.

“So this is what you really look like?” Twilight and Rarity both said at the same time when I revealed what really I look like a 7 year old look girl.

“what else can you do” Rainbow dash asked before I said any thing I saw a look on Twilight's face that said she was carious as well as she grab some paper and quells.

“ I can use invisibility spells” I said as I disappear and appear right behind Rainbow dash while yelling boo.

“aaahhhhh” screamed Rainbow dash jumping up scared. “ I wasn't scared just surprised” as she saw and heard me laughing.

“oh ya I almost forgot this is spike.” twilight said showing me her dragon assistant who seem nervous to see me but tried to play cool.

“ Hi I am her NUMBER 1 assistant.” he said boasting about his statics. Then he yawn he must be tiered.

“ I think it's getting late” I said as I just notice that it was getting dark out and we all started walking to the door but I change into a pony version of my self. Then out of nowhere a loud noise like a cannon firing followed by a bunch of confetti and pinkie pie yell “surprise!” the moment I steeped out side.

“how whe did you “ I stammer as trying to figure out how she did that when I just told her what I was like.

“That's pinkie pie for you she never fails to surprise anypony with a party out of nowhere” they all said as pinkie was coming up to me and the others with a cupcake.

“I was wandering Elisabeth way are y'ah a pony?” Applejack asked looking at my new pony form with a curious look.

“How would you think everypony would react if I look like my normal self?” I said and the others thought it was a good ideal since nopony had seen me yet by pure luck. As I gestured to all the ponies that are out even at night.

As the party went on till after what I thought was hours Twilight and I did some star gazing and ask about over a thousand questions if it wasn't for pinkie pie wanting to experience being invisible I would have “died” of boredom. Everyone laughed when pinkie appeared behind Applejack and fired a party cannon out of nowhere ( not at A,J ) it was funny for everypony except Applejack who wanted to get back at her but knows that’s impossible.

“ This is so much fun” I said then after the party and everypony help clean up we had a sleep over at twilight's. I can't wait tell tomorrow!!!!!!
