> Pharaoh of the sands > by Moonghost > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Hey, Come here,I have something for you to look at. this is very interesting.” the Pegasus says to his companion, his companion a wyvern replies “what, what is it?” The wyvern says. “Here” the Pegasus said, Passing it to the Wyvern an intricate carved golden silver cane with a pommel of a crane’s head. “You do know it’s rude to steal from the dead and even more so from the undead?” said a voice that sounded like thousands of sand grain scratching and grinding together, which came from a rather desiccated mummy, that had three rings on its left hand, one gold ring inset with a ruby that emanated heat, a platinum ring inset with a jade that emanated a glow like life itself, a silver ring inset with a blue diamond that emanated cold, and oddly was in a very nice looking business suit of light, an dark golden brown with a butterfly lapel and it sat upon a ancient throne of ornately carved brass. “Who, Who are you?” The Wyvern said tentatively, causing  the Pegasus to be taken aback. What kind of creature could Illicit so much fear? “You know who I am, Wind Razor.” The figure said, “R-Ramses D-De N-Nile.” Razor gasped “Please forgive me!” He begged, “Oh, stop your whining, i’m not going to kill you, why would I kill my most faithful dragon? But, who is this?” Ramses said, “Blue Sand, my Lord, I convinced him to come and help me try and excavate you.” Razor said, “Oh, please don’t lie to me. Razor, now you’re only here to try and claim my rings, probably is a way to Will fill your duties to Celly and Lulu?” Ramses said, “Hey, who are you to judge?” Blue yelled and immediately regretted it was Ramses turned to look straight at him. “Who am I? Clearly the sisters erased me from history, Like I asked. I am Ramses De Nile, The Pharaoh of the sands of Equis, and the oldest Being in the world, pleased to meet you.” Ramses declared with a bow, before collapsing into a pile of sand and reforming behind Razor and Blue, before taking his Cane back. “So, what are you going to do now?” Blue asked, “Visiting an old friend” Ramses said Before collapsing into a pile of sand,and moths, that was swept up by a sudden gust of wind, (Later, Canterlot)  ‘Too much pomp for my tastes.’ Ramses Thought to himself,as rematerialized “hello Celestia, Oh, wait forgive me, your highnessss.” Ramses rasped with a mocking bow. “Ramses what are you doing here?” Celestia said shocked, “Well, I Couldn’t help but notice That, my Kingdom is not Thriving, like you said you would make sure it would be?” Ramses said, “I tried, but, no one was able to your enchantments from falling apart, I’m sorry.” Celestia said, “It is fine, Celestia. Celestia do you still have my miracle box and pocket watch?” Ramses said, “Yes” Celestia said, “Then please go get it oh and take to The Peacock from Luna before she hurts her self.” Ramses said, “It will be done.” Celestia said, “Oh and Celestia, please bring your student here, I know you have one.” Ramses said, > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight was nervously waiting outside of the throne room, frantically pacing, trying to think of any possible reasons why she would’ve possibly been summoned to Canterlot. “Oh, is it a test, I haven’t even studied, or haven’t been sending in reports, or is she going to tell me that I am banished, or—” “Twilight calm down, you are going to be fine.” Spike said, trying to calm Twilight down, “But, I can’t, The summons said it was urgent.” Twilight said frantically, (Meanwhile in the throne room) “Are you sure that this is your student, really I could’ve sworn that you were a better judge of character than this.” Ramses said, “Well, Forgive me if I didn’t know that you were going to be waking up.” Celestia sassy said, “Don’t you get snippy with me I gave you those powers and I can take them away just as easily.” Ramses said sternly, “Forgive me I did not mean disrespect.” Celestia said, “Well no further ado bringing your student.” Ramses said, (Meanwhile back outside to the throne room) Twilight was finally pulled out of a stupor when a guard came up I told her that: “The princess will see you now.” The royal guards announced, Twilight struggle nervously into into the throne room and was shocked to see that Celestia was not on the throne but that’s a bipedal creature sat on it instead. “Princess, Who is this?” Twilight asked with apprehension, Much Twilight surprise the creature Spoke to Celestia, saying. “Well she isn’t much to look at but I suppose she’ll do you.” “Don’t want to estimate my dear student.” Celestia said, as if chatting with an old friend. “no one has answered question who is this?” Twilight said, “Oh how rude of me my name is Ramses.” The Creature said, “Wait, you’re Ramses the moth pharaoh of Equis.” Twilight said, “Celestia, how does your student know who I am? I thought I specifically told you to erase me completely from history.” Ramses said, She sneaked into my study, OK, and she was looking through my photo albums, and she saw a picture of you, so, I had to explain her that you were long die.” Celestia said, “Next time I go into another one of my sleep cycles I’m gonna need to have someone else take care of erasing on my history you’re too sentimental.” Ramses said in exasperation, “but this is out topic I brought you here to give you something if you are deemed worthy, but, first what is your name? Celestia never told me.” “My name is Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight said, “How many special abilities do you have?” Ramses said, “I am good at telekinesis and teleportation.” Twilight said, “I suppose that will do. Last question do you know what a miraculous is?” Ramses said, “No I can’t say I know what that is.” Twilight said, “What to put it simply the magical artifacts, and if you can prove that you’re trustworthy I will be giving you one.” Ramses said, “OK but why?” Twilight said, “Because this world is in danger.” Ramses said, “What!!!” > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Well, since you have a decent idea of what the miraculous are, I would like to see which one you will pick and what you will do with it, or would you like me to explain what they are again?” Ramses said, “Please, explain again.” Twilight asked timidly “The Miraculouses are Jewels, gems or objects that are used as focal points for the literal manifestation of concepts, known as Kwamis. A Kwami’s personality powers and likeness are usually determined by what concept they embody. For instance: *Dark wings fall*” Ramses said as he removed his Lapel, at which point the wings disappeared on it, as now it appeared to just be a little Black button with silver edging, as well as a little creature seem to fly out of the lapel. “This is Nooroo The Butterfly Kwami of Transmission. say hello, Nooroo.” Ramses said with warmth in his voice, which surprised Twilight as, she had thought that, Ramses was simply emotionless. “H-Hello” said the small moth-like creature shyly. “This amazing little guy allows me to give or enhance powers.” Ramses said, “Oh oh, sir your making me blush.” Nooroo said, as he blushed. “Here is some food for you, I need you to go back to helping me keep myself stable, I’m sorry my friend.” Ramses said, ashamed, as he gave Nooroo a small piece of sweetbread. It was at this point that, Twilight actually noticed, that small pieces of Ramses were falling off and crumbling into sand. “It’s okay, sir, I know you need me.” Nooroo said with a smile. “Thank you, old friend. *Dark Wings Rise*” Ramses said after putting his miraculous on. “Now where was I?” Ramses said thinking aloud. “Oh, yes, there are many miraculouses. I myself have all the most powerful ones, I can’t help you with which ones will work the best with you, but, what advice I can give is this: play to your Strengths. Now please choose a miraculous.” Ramses said tiredly as he had to sit down, but, still show off by making a chair out of sand. Twilight looked at each miraculous very carefully, asking questions, considering everything before finally stopping on a hooked necklace. “this is the fox miraculous right.” Twilight asked Ramses. “That is correct.” Ramses replied, “I think I’ll use This one. this one seems to be the most simple of them.” Twilight said, “Do not underestimate the power of illusion.” Ramses said, as he sat on the chair he had created from his sand. "but, go ahead try it out." “Already *Trixxs Let’s Pounce!*” Twilight said, > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- in some long forgotten place two great seals sit, the first of the seals is immaculate, A large obtuse round plate of flat polished to a shine blood red stone, behind which the faintest sound of chittering and mad rambling would be heard if one were to strain their ears, The second is run down and crumbling, large claw marks are ingrained into it, and cracks spiderweb across the surface as some force behind it pushes ever harder to break loose, A Bestial growl booms, as a large section of the seal falls away revealing a large feline green eye. As if in response the chittering behind the first seal increases to such a degree that it begins to vibrate, until the smallest of cracks form, finally marring a surface that has been flawless sense its creation, despite it not even being a tenth of the age of the being it contains, it has withstood attacks that could’ve shattered mountains, and rent planets in twain, but, as the cracks spiderweb, as the chittering gets louder, as the cracks get bigger, and deeper, until finally a two meter long chitinous blood red spear of a leg blasts through the focal point of the cracks, before retracting and allowing the being within to Peer out, its dull dark blue eyes searching the room beyond, before one word rasps from the mess of Mandibles it calls a mouth. ”frreee” > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ramses bolted up right as an old, and sadly familiar low chittering rang though his mind. “Oh,Ramsy, Ramsy, Ramsy, Did you really believe that, you’re seals would last forever?” the quiet chittering voice of his younger sister Tikki said, "I knew I wouldn't be able to seal you two forever, but, I had to try." Ramses said, regret lacing his voice, as his mind thought about something from long ago. "For what it is worth, I did miss you… Both of you.” “Is that so? Then why. Did. You. Trap. Us!” The voice of Plagg like the side of a cliff falling out into the sea, boomed in Ramses’s head. ”I HAD TO, ITS MY JOB AS THE KWAMI OF BALANCE, AND IT TORMENTS ME EVERY DAY AND NIGHT, AND IF I COULD HAVE HAD A TRUE SECOND CHANCE, I WOULD NEVER TRAPPED YOU, YOUR My…My…My…My Stinky Cheese, and Sugarcube.” Ramses said before crying himself to sleep.
