> Tales of Allusia > by Mlp Kitty > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The night was calm and cool as Princess Luna gazed at the beauty of Equestria as it was bathed in her precious moonlight. Then, as if from a far off distance, she heard a voice calling to her. " Moonlight moon bright, shining above Equestria tonight I wish I may I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight." It has been many a moon since anypony wished on my moon. "Thy wish is granted." She whispered softly as a stream of glittering stardust flowed from her horn and soared through the sky. Meanwhile in a small wagon just outside the borders of Canterlot the great and powerful Trixie gazed at the sky only to see nothing. "Ignored again," she mumbled. "Oh how Trixie has fallen, to believe an old pony tale." Then see spotted a bright light. She rushedn to the window to see only to find herself suddenly engulfed in it. When she regained consciousness, the first thing she noticed was a rustling sound. She turned around fearing the worst. When she discovered the source of the sound was a pair of powder blue wings. She then leapt from the wagon and flew through the air laughing with joy. She hovered in the sky and slowly turned her gaze in the direction of Ponyville. "I'm coming for you Twilight Sparkle!" > Too Quiet= TROUBLE! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the crisp morning AI Twilight and Spike were taking a walk down the streets of Ponyville. "I can't believe it Spike!" Exclaimed Twilight. "This has to be the longest period of peace Ponyville has ever had!" "You just practically asked something to happen." Said Spike with a grim chuckle. Meanwhile in Canterlot a black crown clattered to the floor next to a matching black necklace with a small moon in the center. " Three down," said Trixie as she glanced at a pair of marble statues behind her. Walking over to them she stroked the smooth surface and said, " Was don't worry Celestia, I sent your sister to a marvelous place. And soon, your star pupil will be joining her." In Ponyville the main six were enjoying a delicious meal outside Sugarcbe Corner when in a flash of lavender light Twilight disappeared! Standing in her place was, "Trixie!" The main six cried in unison. " What have you done with Twilight? " Said Rainbow as struggled to get away from where Applejack was already holding her tail. " As if the great and Royal Trixie would waste her valuable time talking to you peasents. " Replied Trixie as she unfurled her wings. Applejack spit out Rainbow's tail and stood hoof to hoof with Trixie. "Ah don't wanna resort ta violence so let's talk dis out." "Fine," said Trixie waving a hoof dismissively. " All I've done is send her to an alternate world. " "YOU DID WHAT!?" The main six cried with varying levels of shock and concern. "Since Trixie is the best Princess. I'll even give you a chance to get her back. But, you have to follow my rules. Rule one, should you bring Twilight back here in three moon's Trixie will surender. Rule two, if you fail you will become my personal slaves. Do we have a deal?" The main six huddled together to discuss their options. "What da y'all think?" Asked Applejack. "To be frank darling it sounds quite risky." Said Rarity worriedly. "Twilight's sacrificed the fate of Equestria for us, there's no reason why we can't do the same," Fluttershy whispered. They spread out and turned to face Trixie. "Alright Trixie we'll take your crummy deal." Said Rainbow as she gave Trixie a glare that could kill. "Excellent," said Trixie with a smirk as suddenly the main six found themselves falling down an endless hole. > Welcome to Allusia > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the main six hurtled through time and space Pinkie Pie called out," I can see sunshine! "The others twisted until they could see the ever growing circle of light. Soon they were all tumbling towards the ground. " Goodbye Equestria! " Rarity sadly bemoaned. Then they noticed that they weren't falling, in fact they were floating! All of the main six were held in the magical aura of a familiar alicorn. "Twilight!" The main six sang out in unison. "Hello girls!" Twilight Replied just as glad to see them. "Greetings everypony," said Princess Luna trotting up the hill to stand next to Twilight. "We are quite glad to behold you." Soon they were all huddled together inside a heat dome spell that Twilight cast. "Wow, I can't believe you would risk yourselves for me." Said Twilight. "Course we would Sugarcube her our friend. And ain't nuthin gonna separate us."" Mm hmm," said everypony else. "Well," said Rarity. "I don't know about everypony else but I am famished! Applejack would you be a dear and buck some apples down for us." As she spoke she gestured to a nearby Apple tree that nopony else had noticed. The trunk was made of bronze, the leaves were made of silver, and the apples were solid gold. "Sure thang Rarity." Responded Applejack. She moseyed over to the tree and gave it a hard buck, sending the apples down to land in perfect pyramid like piles. "Eat up everypony!" She yelled. One by one each pony took an apple and bit into it. And one by one that all fell into a deep sleep. > For your information > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ballad of Allusia In morning Amber sunlight plays, across emerald hills. Bronze trees, with silver leaves, bear golden fruit. In night the sky opens it's grand display, to reveal a rainbow of cosmic array. > All hail Princess Jewel! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jewel slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was hazy, as if she had not opened her eyes in a long time. "Where am I?" She mumbled to herself as she got to her hooves. She looked at her surroundings, "The Apple orchards?" It was then that she noticed a golden coated unicorn laying on the ground nearby. "Orchid!" She said, rushing over to her. As Orchid started to stir, Jewel noticed a strange necklace hanging around Orchid's neck. It appeared to be made of gold with a gem carved in the shape of a butterfly. Glancing down Jewel noticed a similar necklace around her neck, only hers had a six pointed star. "Something very strange is happening, and I intend to find out what." Jewel said as she turned toward the library. > The Library of Allusia > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jewel stood in the midst of hundreds of books levitated in pink magic. "No." She mumbled as book after book crossed her line of sight. Finally she collapsed in frustration. "None of these are right!"
