> Goddess Mares > by MlpMelodySong > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long ago when the world was new there lived two alicorn sisters, Celestia and Luna. These two sisters were the most powerful beings that existed and had the power to raise the sun and the moon. The ponies of the land were in awe of them and worshiped the sisters like royalty. They would bring them offerings of their finest foods and wine and would build them fountains and statues in their honour and in return the sisters swore an oath to protect the mortal ponies from danger and harm, and so they did. They protected the citizens from dangerous beasts and creatures that resided in a place the mortals called The Ever free Forest, the forest was a very dangerous place filled with evil creatures with powerful abilities, but that didn't matter to the sisters for no matter the power the beast possessed their power was far greater. However, unbeknownst to them someone with immense magical abilities was watching the sisters with a close eye from high up in the clouds. High up in the clouds sat a dark grey unicorn stallion with a fluffy white beard, completely lost in thought as he stared down at the two sisters. He wore a midnight blue cloak with a star pattern and golden bells attached to the hem he also had a matching wizard hat which , just like the cloak, had bells attached all around the rim and one at the tip of the hats point. His train of thought was interrupted by a mares voice. "Master?" The stallion turned his head slightly to see a unicorn mare with a ragged brown cloak on. He smiled then turned around so he could face her. "Ah, Clover," he said smiling at her warmly "what can I help you with?" "Well, master, I was just wondering if you have made your decision yet?" she asked The stallion looked at her and smiled. The young mare was his apprentice, Clover the clever, and she was very impatient. She liked to be punctual and not waste time, which was very amusing to him as sometimes she let her hyper-organising get the better of her and she becomes a lit bit crazy if things aren't done quick and easy. He on the other hand believed that things shouldn't be rushed and that everything should be done with time and care, so it was quite fun to see them when their opinions differed. "Master," she said, looking a bit confused as to why she hadn't been given an answer. "have you decided if you are going to meet with the mares or not?" The stallion again said nothing but just stood there and sighed. Clover stared at her master and tried to figure out what was going on in his mind, but all he did was smile even more at his young apprentices reaction. Then the stallion rolled his eyes playfully and finally spoke. "Clover," he said chuckling a bit. "don't you remember what we said about being patient" Clover frowned slightly "I am patient," she stated, a hint of annoyance in her voice "I've waited a whole four hours since last asked you" This statement made him chuckle even more. "Oh Clover," he said, smiling in amusement. "you really are a piece of work, aren't you?" "Hey!" Clover whined "Oh come now," The stallion said with a smirk. "you know I'm only teasing" Clover frowned, crossed her forelegs and turned in the other direction so that she was facing away from him.. The stallion noticed this and then moved closer to the mare. He placed his hooves on her shoulders and gently squeezed them. Then he rested his head on her left shoulder. "Aw come on," he said smugly "you know you love me!" reluctantly, she turned her head to look at him and raised an eyebrow. He looked up at her innocently with pleading eyes. Eventually she rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine" she said, giving in to his childish pleads. The stallion then removed his head and hooves from her shoulders and she turned back around to face him. He smiled smugly then said "So, when do you want to go and talk to the sisters?" Clover's face lit up. "You mean you really think that they could be the ones we've been looking for?" she asked excitedly "They certainly show promise" he said, smiling warmly at the mare, amused by her reaction. "Can we go now?" she asked brightly, jumping up and down like a school-filly. The stallion chuckled slightly, knowing that she would not stop asking until she got to go. "I don't see why not" he said still smiling. The two sisters were sitting under a tree relaxing in the shade, just chattering amongst themselves. "Sister," the smaller pale blue alicorn with flowing midnight blue mane, Luna, exclaimed. "You have truly outdone yourself, today is simply glorious" The taller white alicorn with the flowing pink, blue, green and purple mane, Celestia, chuckled at her younger sister's remark. "Thank you, dear sister, but I can't take all the credit my day wouldn't be nearly as good if it didn't come from your night" she said, pulling her younger in for a hug. The two sisters continued to sit under the tree to bask in the daylight when two unicorns teleported right in front of them, one was a stallion and one was a mare. "Well done Clover!" the stallion said to the mare as he patted her back proudly "I knew you could teleport us if you really concentrated!" The two sisters were confused about what they just witnessed but also cautious as they had never seen these ponies before. "Ahem," Luna said as she stared at the ponies. The two unicorns turned round to face the sisters and remembered what they came here to do. "Hello," the stallion said, holding out a hoof to the princesses. "My companion and I have been searching for along time for the perfect ponies to carry out a very important task, and we think that you are the mares for the job!" The sisters didn't say anything they just stood there staring at the stallion. Clover noticed this and decided to step in. "You see," Clover began "we have been watching you both recently and studying your power and we have been tasked with the important mission of finding ponies powerful enough to find and train other people with immense power to use that power to help the world to thrive and all the ponies in it" The sisters still looked very confused, but then Celestia spoke up. "Who...who are you ponies?" "Oh how rude of me," the stallion said as he pulled his hoof away. "I'm Star swirl the bearded and this is my associate Clover the clever!" "We're Gods!" Clover finished for him The sisters were stunned. "And we want to make you gods too!" Star swirl said with a smile. "So, what do you say?" So the sisters were asked to be the goddesses of the sun and moon and were asked to set up a school for gifted young gods and goddesses and so over the following twenty years that's they did and that is were our story really begins! > A Prize Student > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All was silent in the large room. The room was filled with large book shelves and a long desk with four chairs sat in front of it and a large cushioned throne-like chair made from white marble and on it sat a tall white alicorn mare with a rainbow-like mane and tail, Celestia! The four chairs opposite her were occupied by three alicorn mares and a unicorn stallion. The four ponies had been there for 10 minutes and no one had said a word yet, they were all very confused as to why they had been summoned. It stayed like this until finally someone broke the ice. "Sister," the blue alicorn mare, Luna said. "why have you called us all here?" "Ah yes," the white alicorn began. "I have called you all here to tell you some excellent news!" Luna tilted her head in confusion. "What news is this?" "We are going to have a new student!" Celestia exclaimed. "Really?" a pale pink alicorn with a pink, purple and yellow mane and tail asked excitedly. "Yes, Cadence," Celestia said smiling. "that is why I called you and Shinning Armour here. As head god and goddess of the school you are in charge with welcoming new students, so I would like you to make sure that they feel welcome!" "Don't worry principle Celestia," a white unicorn stallion with a dark blue mane and tail said, putting his arm around Cadence. "we always make sure that new students are welcomed with open hooves!" "I know," Celestia stated, smiling down at the young couple. "but I need you to pay close attention this one, she's...special. Celestia turned and stared out of the window behind her desk, lost in thought. The ponies all looked at the mare, with confused looks on their faces. "Ahem," a pale blue alicorn with a lavender mane and tail said, smiling sweetly at the older alicorn. "what did you call me here for, Aunt Tia?" "Oh right," Celestia said, snapping back into reality. "Harmony, I would like you to help to keep the students in order, we want this welcome to go as smoothly as possible and we cant do that if we have students behaviour being out of order, Nightshade will assist you with this task!" Harmony's eyes widened. "Nightshade is gonna be there!" she asked excitedly. Cadence raised an eyebrow. Harmony quickly realised her mistake. "I mean, that's cool, I guess. I mean its not like I care or anything! He can come if he wants to help, it doesn't bother me! she said rapidly, smiling nervously. "Alright," Harmony said, quickly trying to change the subject. "so who is this mystery student?" "Her name is Twilight Sparkle," Celestia began. "she lives in the small town of Ponyville with her parents. She has just turned 17 years old and is a very powerful unicorn that has a lot of potential! She has the potential to be a prize student and would be a great asset to our school!" "So," Luna said mockingly. "When will your prize student be arriving?" "Tomorrow morning!" Celestia said with a smile "Well then," Luna said, smiling. "I suggest that we all get some sleep before the arrival of Celestia's prize student. Don't you all think?" The other three ponies nodded and Luna led them out of the room and closed the door behind her. "Yes," Celestia chuckled quietly to herself. "a prize student indeed!" The Next Day It was early in the morning and the sun had risen and the birds were singing. Everypony was happy and content, all except one. Outside of Canterlot High stood a nervous lavender unicorn mare with a dark purple mane and tail with pink highlights, having a debate with herself about whether she should enter or not. Come on Twilight you can do this! she thought to herself as she stood in front of the large double doors to her new school. The last few days were still a complete blur to her, first she received a scroll from the gods to inform her that she has been chosen to attend a school for gifted gods and goddesses, she had always known that she was a goddess, after all her father was Night Light, god of the stars, but she never thought that she was that powerful, after all she was only a demi-god as her mother, Twilight Velvet, was mortal. So when she told her father he was ecstatic, he practically kicked her out of the door, he was extremely excited that his daughter was following in his footsteps, he didn't even protest to the fact that she wouldn't be living at home anymore but instead on campus with the rest of the students. So the carriage came that morning and now there she was standing outside the doors, contemplating if she should be brave and face the music or turn around and run all the way back to Ponyville. Her mind was leaning more towards the latter until she thought about her father, and how disappointed he would be if she didn't take this opportunity. She had finally made up her mind, she was going to do this, for her father! And with that final thought she took a deep breath, opened the doors with her magic and stepped forward into her new life! > A Warm Welcome > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight's jaw dropped as she looked up at her new surroundings in awe. The school was breath-taking! It was made entirely out of ice blue crystal and had a beautiful white marble floor. However her thoughts were interrupted by a pink alicorn mare with a pink, purple and yellow mane and tail. "hello," the mare said, with a friendly smile on her face. "you must be Twilight Sparkle!" "Yes," Twilight said, uncomfortably. "and who might you be?" "Oh how rude of me," the pink alicorn said, with a smile. "I am Mi Amore Cadenza, the goddess of love and marriage, but everyone just calls me Cadence!" Cadence held out her hoof, while Twilight was hesitant at first, there was something very friendly and trustworthy about this mare, so she took her hoof and shook it. "Alright," Cadence said, smiling sweetly. "now that we have introductions out of the way I think its time that I show you around the school! Follow me!" She began to start walking away from the front door until she realised that Twilight wasn't following her, this made her stop. "Well," she said, whilst turning her head. "are you coming?" Twilight took a deep breath. "I'm coming" she stated, walking over to Cadence. "Well then," Cadence said once Twilight had caught up to her. "let's get started!" As Twilight was shown around the school, she couldn't help but gasp at the sight of it! Everything was so beautiful! The whole place just looked so eloquent and prestigious! She couldn't help but think about all the work that went into making this place, the craftmanship of the place was absolutely exquisite! Cadence noticed this and she gave a small smirk. "So," she asked, looking to the side at Twilight slightly. "do you like the place so far?" "Oh yes," Twilight stated, smiling brightly. "It's absolutely incredible!" "It is really something, isn't it?" she chuckled. "after all, it did take a whole ten years to build!" Twilights jaw dropped. "Ten years?" she asked in disbelief. "Yes," she said, smiling kindly. "it is quite a long time, isn't it? But I suppose in the end it was worth it." "Absolutely!" she stated, gazing in awe at her surroundings. Cadence smiled at this. "Well now that I've showed you most of the classrooms I think its time that we go find your locker." she said leading her down a staircase. The hallway was extremely busy. It looked like the majority of students were there. They were all standing next to their lockers chattering amongst themselves. Cadence and Twilight made their way through the sea of people until they reached the end of the corridor where a group of mares stood in front of a row of lockers. "Hi girls!" Cadence said with a smile. "Hi Cadence!" the latter answered, smiling back. "Oh and this must be the new mare!" an orange earth pony with a straw coloured mane and tale said in a strong country accent. "Yes," Cadence stated, gesturing towards Twilight. "this is Twilight Sparkle!" "Well howdy, Twilight," the earth pony said. "I'm Apple Jack, goddess of honesty and the harvest." "I'm Rainbow Dash," said a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail. "goddess of loyalty and the rainbow." "I'm Rarity," a pretty white unicorn with a purple main and tail said. "goddess of generosity and beauty." "And I...I'm Fluttershy," a buttercream Pegasus with a rosy mane and tail whispered softly. "the goddess of kindness and spring." "Well," Twilight said, smiling kindly. "it's really great to meet you all!" "And this," Cadence said, gesturing to the end locker on the left hand-side. "is your locker!" "Thank you very mu-" Twilight started to say, but was interrupted when a pale blue alicorn with a lavender mane came flying in and landed next to Cadence. "Have any of you seen Cheese Sandwich?" she asked, clearly out of breath. "No, I cant say I have." Cadence said "Dammit," she yelled, stomping her hoof in the ground in frustration. "that means I lost him!" "Why are you looking for him anyway?" Cadence asked, looking concerned. "Well," she began, finally catching her breath. "remember when Aunt Tia told me to keep the students in check for the new students welcome? Well I found out that Cheese has been using cider at his parties, and considering that we are all underage, I thought I should put a stop to it. So me and Nightshade have been chasing him all morning, but he keeps giving us the slip!" "Wait, where is Nightshade now?" Cadence asked, trying to calm her down. "We split up at the main stairwell, cause we never seen which way he went! Maybe Nightshade is having better luck!" "Wait," Apple Jack said. "so this is all about the cider that Cheese uses at parties?" "Yes!" the alicorn said, exasperated. "Consarnit' Harmony, he uses the apple cider from my family's farm, there ain't nothin' alcoholic about it!" Apple Jack stated. Harmony's jaw dropped. "You have got to be kidding me! I chased Cheese all around the school for apple cider! Uh, I need a break!" "I was just so caught up trying to make sure that things went smoothly for Twilight's welcome!" she said, completely exhausted. "And speaking of Twilight!" Cadence said gesturing her heads towards Twilight. "Oh my, how rude of me," she said turning to face Twilight. "I'm Harmony, goddess of music and well...harmony." "Nice to meet you!" Twilight said , smiling kindly. Suddenly Harmony realised something and her eyes widened in horror! "Oh no! I've just realised that I've been so busy trying to catch Cheese that I hadn't even thought of all the trouble that Discord could be making!" Fluttershy frowned. "Oh come on Harm, he's not that bad!" "Look," Harmony said, turning to look at Fluttershy. "I know that you don't want to admit that your boyfriend still causes problems for me. but he does, he is literally my polar opposite! Which means we will clash a lot, whether he is good or not doesn't matter. He's always gonna be a prankster and that's never gonna change!" "Speak of the devil!" Rainbow Dash scoffed. The mares all turned around to see two stallions and a large snake like creature made up of mis-mached animal parts walking towards them! "Oh look," Harmony said smirking. "It's the three amigos!" When they finally reached the mares, Twilight could finally get a better look at them. One of the stallions was a white unicorn with a blue mane and tail, the other was a handsome orange Pegasus stallion with a bright blue mane and tail. Twilight almost jumped out of her skin when she saw the strange creature up close, he had the grey head of a pony, a long snake-like figure, a black mane, bushy white eyebrows, a deer antler and a rams antler on his head, yellow eyes with red pupils, a lions paw and eagles talon for hands, a dragons leg and a deer hoof for feet, a long red scaly tail with a tuft of white fur on the end and a large fang that hangs outside his mouth, he was a fright indeed! Twilight turned and whispered to Rainbow Dash. "What kind of monster is that?" Then all of a sudden Fluttershy jumped up in excitement and yelled. "Discord!" then she few over to him, wrapped her hooves around his neck and embraced him in an effectionate kiss! Rainbow Dash gagged a little before she whispered back. "Her boyfriend!" Cadence then followed Fluttershy's lead and yelled. "Shinning!" Cadence ran up to the white unicorn stallion and he pulled her into an effectionate embrace! Harmony then flew over to them. "So how are the three amigos doing?" she mocked. "Mock all you want," The orange Pegasus retorted. "you're just envious of our friendship!" Harmony rolled her eyes playfully. "Sure," she said sarcastically. "whatever helps you sleep at night!" The stallion smiled at his friend's antics. "Oh, I almost forgot, there is somepony I want you to meet!" she said excitedly, dragging him by the foreleg over to Twilight. "Flash, this is Twilight Sparkle!" Twilight stared into the Stallions deep blue eyes and felt like she could lose herself in them, and Flash felt the same whay about her shimmering purple eyes, and for a moment they felt like they were the only two people there in a world of their own, until Harmony snapped them back into reality! "Well," she said impatiently, elbowing Flash in the side. "Aren't you gonna introduce yourself?" "Oh right, sorry, I'm Flash Sentry, the god of shivilry and knighthood! Pleasure to make your aquaintence!" he said, smiling warmly. He bowed then kissed her hoof, this made her blush! "Oh no, the pleasure is all mine!" she said as she curtsied to return his bow. Harmony smiled at this, she knew that this was suppost to be Cadence's job but she just couldn't help herself! Her thoughts were soon interrupted but someone shouting her name. "Harmony!" She turned around to see a dark grey bat pony with a dark blue mane and tale flying her way. "Nightshade?" she said, confused. Once he reached her he landed next to her and smiled. "Ah, there you are!" he said sighing in relief. "did you catch him?" "What?" she asked in confusion. "Cheese Sandwich, did you catch him?" he asked, out of breath. "Oh, no but we don't need to worry about that anymore! It turns out that the cider he uses is non alcoholic, Apple Jack told me!" "Oh, alright." he said, a bit confused. "Sorry for wasting your morning." She said, looking down at the ground. "Oh, I don't know, I wouldn't say it was a total waste," he said smiling at her. She looked up at this. "You don't?" she asked, confused. "I got to spent it with you didn't I? And to me that's the perfect way to spend a morning!" he said smiling warmly at her, staring into her large doe-like blue eyes. This made her smile, as she stared back into his dark midnight blue eyes. The began to get lost in each other, and you could feel the love radiating off of them, it was a mystery to all why they weren't dating already! Twilight and Flash were watching this scene from afar and were both thinking the exact same thing. Why don't they hurry up and just kiss already Flash had only just realised that they had been standing in silence for a while, so he decided to break the ice. "So, how are you liking the school so far?" Flash asked, turning to face Twilight. "Oh, um it's very interesting!" Twilight said, turning to Flash. "Don't worry, I know its tough moving to a new school and all, but it will get easier." Flash said, smiling warmly at her. "Thanks" she said smiling back. Their touching moment was the interrupted by Cadence. "Oh, Twilight I hadn't realised the time, we best be going now it's time to meet your roommate so that you can get settled into your dorm!" "Oh, okay." Twilight said, a bit disappointed that her time with Flash was being cut short. "Alright," Cadence said, checking her clipboard. "it says here that you are in the B dorms, hey that's where we all stay too, and you are in room fourteen!" "Alright then," Harmony said walking over to the group. "let's go!" So the mares all waved goodbye to the stallions and made their way to the dorms. All whilst Twilight was thinking. I wonder who my roommate will be? > Roommies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As they approached her new dorm room Twilight grew nervous. Oh, what if she doesn't like me she thought, she suddenly began to become very sweaty, and began to slow down her pace. Cadence took notice of this and slowed down also, so she could find out what was wrong. "What's gotten into you?" she asked turning her head slightly toward Twilight. "Oh, it's nothing," Twilight said, looking very nervous. "It's just that i'm nervous, you know, about my roommate. Is she nice?" Cadence smiled warmly down at the mare. "She's great, your going to love her!" "Yea, alright" Twilight said, smiling slightly. Seeing that she was better now, Cadence picked up the pace again and re-joined the group, Twilight then followed behind her, until they where back in the midst of the conversation. "So what happened after that?" Harmony asked Applejack, with a look of eagerness on her face. "I told him to get lost, that's what!" Applejack stated, clearly unamused at the conversation topic. "Honestly, darling, I can understand why! Although he may be very handsome," Rarity stated, with a hind of annoyance in her voice. "he is an ungrateful, stupid stallion, who cannot take a stupid hint!" Harmony smirked. "So I guess your still sour about the fact that he cheated on you back when he was your coltfriend last year!" Rarity frowned slightly at the alicorn. "You would be too!" she spat. Harmony rolled her eyes, then smiled smugly as she remembered something. "Yea, but I wouldn't attempt to burn down his locker in a state of envious rage after seeing him making out with her under the bleachers!" Rarity's eyes widened. "I thought we agreed to never speak of that again!" she said, as she gritted her teeth Everyone burst into laughter, even Rarity couldn't hold it in any longer. Then the group finally came to a stop, they had arrived. "We're here!" Cadence said, gesturing her hoof towards the door. "Well," Rainbow dash said, hovering above the ground slightly. "I guess we'll leave ya to it!" Rainbow Dash then flew to the door on the right hand side of Twilight's dorm and went inside, Applejack followed in behind her. "Yes...um...goodbye" Fluttershy said softly, as she flew the the door on the left hand side of Twilight and went inside followed by Rarity. "See you later!" Harmony said smiling sweetly, as she flew into the room across the hall from Twilight. It was just Twilight and Cadence standing outside of the dorm now. "You ready to meet your roommate?" Cadence asked, smiling kindly. Twilight sighed. "Yes, I think so!" she said confidently. "Well, good luck!" she said, levitating a key into Twilight's hoof. "And remember, if you need anything i'm only across the hall!" And with that she disappeared into her room, leaving Twilight standing in the hallway, alone. I can do this! she thought. Then she took a deep breath and opened the door. Then she stepped into the dark room, she illuminated her horn to turn on the light switch and when the power came on she saw something. Twilight gasped. "SUPRISE!!!!" Twilight was taken aback by a hyper pink mare with a poofy dark pink mane and tail jumping out at her, blasting confetti everywhere with a canon. "AHH!!!" Twilight screamed as she fell backwards, and landed on her flank. "Whoopsie daisies!" The pink mare said, holding out her hoof to Twilight to help her up. Twilight reluctantly took it. When she was up she brushed herself off and frowned slightly at the mare. "Sorry about that," she said, smiling sheepishly. "I just wanted to give my new roomie a warm welcome!" Then the hyper mare gasped. "Which means you must be Twilight!" she squealed in excitement, as she pulled Twilight in for a tight hug. "Yes," she wheezed. "can't...breathe!" "Oops!" the pink mare said, releasing Twilight from her grip. "Who are you?" Twilight heaved, trying to catch her breath. "Oh right," Pinkie said smiling brightly. "The name's Pinkamena Diane Pie, goddess of laughter and curiosity, but just Pinkie Pie is fine!" "Nice to meet you, Pinkie" Twilight said smiling. "Come on in!" Pinkie said, gesturing her hoof to a single bed with lavender sheets. "Thanks" Twilight said trotting over to it and sitting down. Pinkie then went over to the opposite side of the room and sat down on another single bed, but this one had pink sheets. "So," Pinkie said, smiling brightly at her new friend. "tell me about yourself!" "Oh, well there's not really much to tell!" Twilight said, looking down at her hooves. "I'm from a small town called Ponyville and I live there with my parents, Night Light, god of stars, and Twilight Velvet. I'm really not that interesting. So what about you?" Twilight was extremely curious about this new mare and was eager to find out more about her. "Oh, well I grew up on a rock farm!" Pinkie said with enthusiasim, whilst pulling out a picture of what looked like a young version of Pinkie along with five other grayscale earth ponies that looked nothing like her new roommate. "I lived there with my parents, Igneous Rock, god of rocks, and Cloudy Quartz, and my three siblings, Limestone, Maud and Marble Pie! Actually it was my sister Maud who used to stay in this room before you!" "Well why is she no longer here?" Twilight asked, looking at the picture Pinkie brought out. "Oh, she had to move in with our older sister Limestone, cuz no one else would stay with her anymore!" Pinkie said, pointing her hoof to a filly in the picture with a dark grey coat and light grey mane and tail. "She made her last four roomies cry too much!" "Oh!" Twilight said awkwardly. "So," Pinkie said smiling sweetly at Twilight. "Do ya wanna go mingle?" "Mingle?" Twilight asked confused. "Yea, I know everypony in this school!" Pinkie stated proudly. "I can totally help you make some new friends!" "Well, okay then..." Twilight said, unsurely. "Yay!" Pinkie shouted. "Let's go!" Pinkie then grabbed Twilight eagerly by the hoof and dragged her out of the dorm. Ugh, i'm gonna regret this, aren't I? she thought as the pink mare dragged her down the hallway.
