> The Creator > by Veridian Phantom > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Tell Tale Hearts > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/N: Blue lettering signifies a link to a song (not the one in the other A/N), i added a song i wanted to use in a story to it just for kicks, stop the song when you get to red underlined writing, or if the song stops before you make it there that's fine too. I am your creator... The one behind the scenes, overseeing everything that happens and goes on in this land of Equestria. It's odd how so many ponies forget who their creator was. How simple it is to overlook something that is barely even there, and after all this time to of have been forgotten. I am your creator... “Come on spike! We're going to be late for the Hearths Warming Eve production we're supposed to put on for Canterlot, oh i'm so excited, aren't you?” Twilight, a purple equine with the magical ability to match even the Princesses said to study under Princess Celestia herself, holder of the Element of Magic, and learner of the meaning of Friendship is on her way to the Hearths Warming Eve celebration that helps ponies remember how the different races had put aside their differences to love and tolerate one another, and to live in harmony with each other. Along her is her number one assistant Spike who will be narrating the story as the members of the Mane 6: Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie, get ready to put on a play everyone will remember for the ages. “I'm coming, i'm coming, just slow down!” Bellowed a tired out Spike. As the two arrived at the castle they finally begun the preparations towards the celebration. (A/N: Seeing as this episode was actually aired, if you'd like to watch it, go ahead. Then come back to this story.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTlyKWht2Aw (Continuing after the ponies finish singing that amazing song, ignore rest of episode) Everybody in the grand hall is now cheering their hearts out at the magnificent display that was the story of each race, the actors for the play took their bows and were just about to turn around to head off stage when an oval-shaped portal of black appeared floating above the crowd in the middle of the room, many ponies were now flabberghasted and some fainted (being over-dramatic). The actors were not mortified as to what may happen next, Twilight couldn't even comprehend what was happening. Lightning struck from inside the room. “Hey Twilight, might 'ah ask what in tarnation that thing is?” Applejack questioned. “I-i have no idea, i've never seen anything like it.” Twilight responded with a studder, her eyes showed a spark of curiosity about her like a young filly at a newly built park. Just as Twilight was lost in thought as to what it may be, a cloaked figure walked out slowly and floated in the air as if he were walking on it naturally. The figure had a hood on that blacked out what may lie under it, the cloak was all-red and looked ceremonial with gold lining all around the edges of it. The figure stood there silently, observing it's onlookers as they stood there in pure shock and awe as to what was standing before them. Twilight noted as to how tall it was, it must've been at least six feet tall, and by the looks of it, had two arms with two hands on the end of them. No one could make out if the figured had two legs or not to match the two armed thing like what a monkey generally has seeing as it was robed. Twilight could've guessed that it had two legs simply by imagining it was some-what like a monkey, but much more fierce. “Okay now, what is that?!” Applejack asked quietly, barely getting out the words to ask herself in her own mind. Twilight stood there for another fifteen or so second before getting a nudge from Applejack to snap her back into reality. “I don't know, i've never seen a creature or animal like this before.” Everyone in the audience was waiting now for something to happen, perhaps if the figure will speak, or do something horrid to the audience below it. “Hello everypony” The cloaked figure stuck out it's right hand like it was royalty shushing everyone in the crowd. Fluttershy was trembling behind Applejack and let out a small “eep” noise. “Fluttershy do you know what that is?” Inquired Twilight. “N-n-n-no, I-i've never s-seen anything like t-that before.” “Well it should be just like an animal you meet for the first time, just like that manticore.” “This is no animal i've heard of, and it's ominous, and scary.” Fluttershy's voice was almost gone from trying to be quiet as to not alert it to her presence. “It's surprising. How not one of you can remember what really happened that night. You are now all subject to the story of what happened that night, it seems I have to re-tell it from my perspective because all of you forgot!” It's voice was deep and dark, it had a commanding sense about it, almost like it was immensely powerful. “W-well, what are you, or rather, who are you?” Twilight brave enough to ask now that she figured it must be something from the monkey family. The figure laughed to itself out loud and simply replied “I am your creator.” The figure extended both his arms outward towards each side of the room as if welcoming a hug. “What do you mean our creator?!” Twilight was now confused, as there was no logic behind it just like “Pinkie Sense”. “I created the land you ponies call Equestria, I also created all the species of animals and you ponies as well. Hence why i'm called The Creator.” “And we're supposed to just believe you out-of-the-blue? This makes no sense.” Said Applejack. “Then allow me to tell my side of the story first, and then ask Princess Luna if it's true, she's the only pony in Equestria who remembers me after all.” The Creator than brought everypony in the hall into a trance with which he could send images to their heads like a hologram projector. “All ponies know that there were born 3 races of ponies, however born from my imagination and given the ability to speak. Well allow me to show you a bit of the past.” The imagery that is sent to the thought of everypony goes back to The Figure when he was smaller, sort-of like an infant. He still wore the same clothes he did back then. It zooms in on him playing with a cat that looked like it was made of a stellar constelation, he was having fun, and love it. However as time went on he got bored of it, so he thought about making a civilization, thus he created ponies, he saw how cute they were and gave them each special powers, all of which also had the ability to speak his native tongue. One race could fly, and fly fast. One race could use magic like he could. And the final race were of the toughest ponies around with muscles and stamina that surpasses all other races. And for a final touch decided to grant them the ability to see what their special talent is via a picture located on their flank. But only when they realize what their special talent is can they hope to see it. They slowly started to build up and had continuously worshiped him as a god. Overtime he saw how they had developed tools and fire, eventually making shelters for themselves. Each race got along with each other initially and enjoyed each others company. Among the ponies The Creator had made were Luna and Celestia as fillies, they adored The Creator with every passing minute. However, one animal he created didn't like how the ponies were given rights to the lands of Equestria and all those powers, the creature known as Discord became furious and had instilled hate through chaos into the all the ponies' heads and eventually each race had gone to war and separated, Discord than brought it upon himself with the powers he gave himself to seal The Creator inside a small cave forever encased with all sorts of diamonds and jewels. But before Discord could seal away The Creator, he cheated the Cutie Marks of both Luna and Celestia and made them their own by entrusting the power of the sun and moon to both sisters, thus keeping life going while he was locked away. Both sisters saw Discord perform this heinous act and had used their new powers to seal away Discord in the stone form he is today. Luna then begang to grow hungry and mad with power, controlling the night and having everypony sleep through it? She was annoyed that her sister got all the glory for having the power of the sun. Hoping to steal the power of the sun Luna had created the Lunar Republic and revolted against her sister, thus becoming the embodiment of evil, Nightmare Moon. The two sisters had fought for 3 years before finally both got fed up and challenged each other to a duel to see who is more powerful. Nightmare Moon was swiftly defeated by her older sister Princess Celestia and thus locked Princess Luna with Nightmare Moon in the moon itself for 1000 years. Which brings us to about 200 years later, when the story of Hearths Warming Eve began, as you all know the three tribes fought with each other in that dark cave and froze one another in ice from the wendigos. They did not know that The Creator still lay dormant inside that very same cave! As he heard the voice of ponies and hatred and anger he couldn't help but do something feeling sorry for his very creations that their father couldn't help them. The Creator then waited for the opportune moment after all hope may have been lost and used the powers he could to create the very same heart that melted the ice, using his love for his creations he was able to use a very small ounce of his power while still locked away in that cave, saving the three who weren't fighting and listened to them sing to their hearts content. As time went on the barrier thus became weaker once Discord was defeated by the Elements of Harmony (yet another tool The Creator made) and The Creator was then set free, he had waited since then to observe how the ponies were keeping themselves and hiding in fright of Discord, when he learned of Discords defeat decided that it was time to let his children go and enjoy peace on the tallest mountain to himself, forever watching his sons and daughters. However, he noted that he started to become weaker, and his powers began to wane, this could only be the cause of no one remembering him. So he ventured forth into the celebration that is today. “Now you know why i've come here. To help you remember who I am. Your Creator” “But why are you so worried about losing your powers?” Twilight asked. Everypony in the audience was now awaiting to hear The Creators response to Twilight's question. “Because it'd be the same as you losing a parent. I came here today to remind everypony of the true past so that it may be remembered as it was intended, I also came looking for Celestia and Luna who don't seem to be here.” The Creator felt disappointed that the very ponies he gave his power to were not at their own celebration. “But we are here father.” Called out a voice of royalty from behind him. On a small balcony behind him he saw Luna and Celestia come out from behind the red flowing curtains, both which were grown up now and their manes flowing with Lunar and Solar energy. “I've been meaning to speak with you two for a long time now, I'm sorry I wasn't there to be the god and father you hoped me to be. It seems i'm no longer needed now.” The Creator looked down at all the ponies watching him, they looked like they were pleading him not to go. “But father, just because you're not needed doesn't mean you can't stick around right?” Celestia pleaded. “Father, it's be best for thou to stay with us, so we may talk and rejoice.” “You're not going to grovel and worship me are you?” He asked jokingly. “No, you're our father, and back then you were worshipped, but times have changed, just because these ponies don't remember you and your powers grow weaker doesn't make you any less of a father to us or the rest of Equestria.” “Thank you my daughters, this means a lot to me.” The Creator turns to face the audience once again as he did before, but levitates down to the stages behind the actors and removes his hood revealing a face much like a humans with silvery long hair that flows like what Celestia and Luna's does. “To all ponies that hear this! Forever shall this day be a momentum towards the true happiness that everypony here feels toward one another, I shall watch over you all as do the Princesses here. And finally, all of you make me proud to of have called you my daughters and sons, but now I must return to the mountain from which I came, to forever live in solitude as I am no longer needed in this world. Goodbye” He then opened the very same portal from earlier, stepped inside and he vanished. The ponies stood their with tears in their eyes and hope that their father find peace on that very mountain. No pony knows where he went, and the Princesses searched everywhere but to no avail. Perhaps this was a once-in-a-lifetime meeting, and they will always remember him for the father they never had. Everypony in the grand hall then cheered “All hail The Creator!”.
