> The Shadow Magic Swing > by A random pony oc > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 Corruption > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight groaned as she woke up in darkness. She was confused why she was here or where she was. But a little part of her mind that even she can't access did remember. But back to the important stuff, Twilight was stuck in place for now and she needed to find a way to get back to her friends. She can tell Celestia and Luna about this later too. If she ever gets out of this place that is. "No Twilight, get it together! You are not going to be stuck here forever..." she said. Then she realized she can just use her magic to teleport. But then it failed. Then she tried to fly away but it still didn't work. She only remembered this type of magic in the Crystal Empire when she was foolish enough not to check for traps and got stuck. She was thankful Spike forced himself to come. Without him, a whole empire would be lost because of her. What surrounded her was darkness, of course, but something felt off. A feeling of dark energy flooded the room as it washed over Twilight wave after wave. All of this reminded her of one villain. Sombra. "At last we meet again, princess." said a voice suddenly said. It sound like a echo of some sort but Twilight remembered it too well. "Come out coward! Show your face!" she said. She tried to intimate him by taking a stance, but she only showed how weak she was by slipping and falling on her face. "We're getting a move on I see." he said with enthusiasm. He suddenly showed himself, putting Twilight on edge. As his grin showed no good intentions, Twilight asked. "What do you want anyways? Revenge or something?" she asked. Sombra didn't answer but instead he stomped his hoof on the ground and big black crystals shot up to Twilight, trapping her above them. "It's quite the opposite really. You'll be surprised when there's more to you than you know." he said all knowingly. He readied his dark magic for what he about to do. This can go right or terribly wrong so he needed to concentrate. A black mist came from his horn that imprisoned Twilight. As it slowly bonded Twilight in a sphere as she tried to escape, she slowly lost consciousness for the last time. The sphere was so bright too, that Sombra had to cover his eyes. As the light died down, he uncovered them only to see mist covering the supposed pony. "Finally, I was so tired" said an voice so soothing. Sombra was surprised when all of his dark crystal got knocked over and shattered by... "Servant?" he said. He did not know he summoned a monster instead of a slave. She looked like herself but instead of her usual eyes, they were total purple. She was basking in her dark aura that even gave Sombra shivers and chills. "You're the one that freed me, right? Well let me introduce myself, I'm Mystia Shadowmend." she said. She closed her eyes and open the again to reveal her eyes flashed with hypnotic circles. "And I'm here to have my toll." > Chapter 2 Mystia Toll > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mystia cornered Sombra into a corner in the dark abyss they were in. She made sure that he could not escape her grip as she was eating out their distance. Sombra tried to slow her down using magic before he realize he was in a dream and only a specific type of magic will work here, and sadly for him, hypno magic will work here too. "G-Get away from me you monster!" he said as he backed away, suddenly hitting the wall. He grit his teeth. "You know, I am doing Twilight a favor too when I think about it. You were about to enslave her in the Crystal Empire when really Cadance saved the day. Spike only carried the Crystal heart, besides he could have eaten it at any time. That only my opinion." she said, closing the gap for even a tiniest escape Sombra could have. She then used her magic to start to break Sombra mental defenses he could have put up to save at least his mental health. Too bad. He should have ended the dream while he had a chance. Anyways she started tormenting his mind with voices like needles and he started to cry a little bit while sniffing.Then she turned it up by messing with his memories and started to put pictures with him getting tortured and crying himself to sleep every night. His only happiness was Mystia and- "No please...stop." he pleaded to no one. The illusions were doing their work. Mystia wasn't done though, as she started to actually scar him. By this point, he was a shivering mess. He was also in a manipulate shape good enough for her. "Call down now, I'm here for you,for now" she said, muttering the last words but never the less saying it in a smoothing voice making a regular pony tired. He wasn't a regular pony though. He was a monster who about to bow down to another one. A real Monster. Queen of monsters who was trapped. Soon after later Sombra was broken and fixed into Twilight puppet. She healed his mental and physical health and stole his magic. "Feeling better? You will be in the north next to the Crystal Empire. I will enslave Ponyvile so we can take over The North." she said. Sombra nodded and Mystia ended the dream. A few days later... "Twilight?" said Fluttershy. She been caring for her animals so much that she didn't even know about twilight disappearance. "Everyone said you were foal napped because you been missing for quite a while. I didn't believe them though." she also said. Mystia, who was just getting used to being in the real world, picked up the note and turn into Twilight before Fluttershy opened the door to her room. "Hi Fluttershy, what did you said? I was busy reading this book. Spike is....busy right now." she lied getting back on top of her bed. "Well I'm glad to see your alright. Want to have tea at my place? Also I was going to clean and fluff Angel Bunny tail." she explained to 'Twilight'. "Oh sure, tea sounds great! Can you come here for a second? I want to try a spell." said 'Twilight'. She figured that controlling Fluttershy will be the easiest for now. She want to spread her kingdom in secret so she doesn't get the princesses attention and Fluttershy will be less expected to be off unless someone knows her really well. She can ask her to keep on living her life usually anyways. She started using the hypnosis spell on Fluttershy by just teasing her a little bit in her mind which already started to make Fluttershy whimper and easy enough to manipulate. 'That was easy' she thought. 'And here I was thinking that she will put up a little resistance.' she also thought. Fluttershy just stood there looking slightly confused and blank at the same time. "Hmmm what to do with you? Make me some honeysuckle tea, call me Miss Mystia when no one is around, oh and live your normal life when I not asking you to do stuff for me, ok?" she said. Fluttershy nodded and went out the room to prepare the tea Miss asked. Mystia did wanted honeysuckle tea which was also her favorite too. While Fluttershy was making her tea, Mystia was reading a starswirl book about crystals and dark magic. "Hm? I wonder if Everfree magic can be shaped into dark magic. It seems powerful. Which reminds me...." she said. "Fluttershy, are you done with my tea!?" she yelled. Fluttershy dashed into the room with a speed Rainbow dash will be proud with and gave her the tea. "I hope you like it"she said quietly. She gave it a taste test and it was delicious. As she quietly sipped the tea, Fluttershy stood there, standing there expecting a compliment. "I like it. Good enough for you? We don't have all day." Mystia said as she threw the cup out the window. She can be wasteful for all she cares. "Yes it is Miss." Fluttershy, oblivious to the treatment she was subjected to. "Ok you can go." Mystia said dismissably. "And said you found me. I just going to be staying here for a few days." "Ok Miss." Fluttershy immediately left, as she didn't realize the danger she set upon the land. Mystia transformed into a white pegasus with a red mane and she took off to the Everfree forest, testing her theory. > Elements of Disharmony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mystia disguised as a white pegasus with red hair with a book for a cutie mark, flew to the Everfree forest to try something that she wondered in Twilight's head for a long time. She flew near the Two Sisters Castle and landed in the end of the stairs in the cliff. Then she started walking while humming a tune to the cave where the Elements of Harmony resided. She stood in front of the magic tree, Tree of Harmony. As she walked towards the tree, she dug holes to absorb the discordant magic from the seeds Discord sow. Then she knew, finally, finally she's going to have her revenge. "Peace, meet Despair cause this day will be your last." she said. Then a white flash appeared near the tree and A glittery image of Twilight. "What do you want Mystia? I'm very busy right now." The Tree of Harmony said. It already knew Mystia's goal, but as observed Mystia, it was only stalling. "I here to take over. Ever wondered why sustaining the plants not hard anymore? I harvested their power and now they bend to my will." Mystia said with a mocking grin as she wait for the Tree of Harmony to realize. "No...you didn't..." It said with horror. "Yep, already mind controlled some pony." Mystia only smiled even more. "No... I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!" The Spirit of Harmony yelled as she aimed her magic for Mystia forehead but Mystia simply dodged. "You've created this monster, didn't think hurting me would be that easy?" Mystia taunted as she dodged the attack again. "I guess it won't be that easy. That's good I guess." she said before teleporting above the Tree of Harmony and slamming her hooves on her. The spirit tumbled away from Mystia before shooting magic beams everywhere. Mystia just dodged everything with ease before grabbing the spirit and pulled her close to her. The spirit teleported herself near the tree and started to shoot big lumps of magic balls towards Mystia. Mystia casted a shield before the balls hit her and she grabbed the spirit. "I think I played enough. Goodbye Queen." she said before surrounding her with purple spiritual fire and closed it in on her so she wouldn't escape the fire grasp. "You won't get away with this! They will come and defeat you!" the spirit said. "Your right, I should be scared.."Mystia said before stopping the flow of the fire spreading ad drained the Spirit's magic. "Unless you have your powers They can't defeat me! Now drop dead." she said before burning the spirit. She then finally got the Elements and left. "Fluttershy, I'm back from the Everfree forest. Go be useful and get me some lunch. Maybe a salad." Mystia said, as she sat on the couch, famished. "Okay Miss Mystia." She said before rushing to make her lunch. Next to Fluttershy was Angel bunny who was tugging her tail tightly. Fluttershy didn't even reacted much less care about the mammal pulling her tail. As long she got Mystia she be happy to do stuff for her. Angel Bunny then started to resort to making noises. "Go put that bunny outside and lock the door on him. Feel no regrets." Mystia said, annoyed by the rodent. "Okay Miss" she said. Angel picked up the note and started running from Fluttershy. Fluttershy starting to speed up to a speed Rainbow Dash would be proud with while Angel started to get faster too. They caused a ruckus that annoyed Mystia a little bit more. Angel bunny jumped out of the window as Fluttershy closed it. She then flew to close the front and back doors to lock them too. Then she returned back to making a salad for Mystia. Meanwhile, Mystia wondered how to even take out or corrupt the elements she was holding with her magic. All they do is rest on a big.... "That it!" she said. "Take it out from the source!" Mystia grinned evilly as she thought just to put a stop on the Tree of harmony. Soon it will be a memory to ponykind. But just before she started to do her villain laugh, Fluttershy came with her lunch with a donut with glaze as a dessert. "Do you like it? I even made a donut." Fluttershy said. Mystia lifted up a spoon and tried the salad. It was decent. "Meh." Mystia said to Fluttershy. Fluttershy flinched before saying, "I'm sorry if it was not good enough for you. I'll just take it away." she said. Mystia gave her permission to put away the food for later as she packed up to go back home. She left without saying anything, exiting the house and flying back home. > Elements of Disharmony 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight sat in nothing. She did nothing. She didn't even move. Not like she could, with chains bounding her. But her brain was rushing with thoughts while she looked on a screen. The screen which was showing her what happening in the real world and what's Mystia doing. But anyways, one thought was the main one. 'What happened to her....' She always wondered why she would trap her in a place like this. She thought this was because as Sombra casted dark magic at her, but a voice said- "Goodbye Twilight. Wasn't even good even being in you." It sounded like she had a bit of remorse. Twilight was sad but mostly confused as one word circled around her head. 'Why..?' A few hours later... Rarity was working on a special dress for Fancy Pants in the afternoon. Sweetie Belle was off with the Cutie Mark Crusaders for "Tree planting cutie marks". Twilight and her friends keep on telling them hints about their Cutie mark but they never listen. Oh, Twilight... Rarity missed her. After she gone missing, her life got a bit more bland. Then someone knocked on the door on Rarity's door which interrupted Rarity's thoughts. She stood up where she was working and walked up to the door to open to Rainbow Dash and AppleJack. "Why hello there darlings. Why are you here?" she asked. "We just wanted to talk for a second." said Applejack and Rainbow together. Rarity thought this were weird because their vicious rivalry they would have tried to jinx eachother but she just shrugged it off for now and let them in. They sat down on the living room couch while Rarity sat down too. They sat in silence before Rarity started off the talk. "So.. What did you want to talk about?" "About Twilight." That stunned her as a needle would have to her hoof as she started to ask about her. "What happened to her? We all thought she just vanish into thin air." "Well Fluttershy said she was just staying in her place for a few days. Not sure why she didn't tell us." They continued their talk for about a few minutes about their daily life before coming to an end and saying their fair wells. "Bye Rarity, see you later." But little did she know what happened to them... Later... Pinkie was baking some sweets while babysitting the twin cakes. Mystia flew over her house and thought, "Maybe just one more stop." she thought out loud. She stop in her tracks and headed down to Sugarcube Corner. She opened the door to see Pinkie playing with the cakes. But before Pinkie could glance at her, she put on her disguise. "Why helllllllllo Twilight!" she said as she zipped up to 'Twilight'. "What brings you here today?" "Oh, I just wanted to try out a spell with you!" 'Twilight' said as she faked a smile. "Oh spells are good fun!! I try it out for you if you want!" Pinkie aggred. If only if she knew what she was getting into. Mystia used her horn and flashed hypnotic circles at Pinkie. Pinkie, who was surprised to see this type of magic, giggled at this ticklish magic but not for long. As the same case of Fluttershy she was semi-easy to hypnotize. She wasn't empty as her but there was no natural magic barrier...or maybe she just weird. Mystia then looked at the Twins who were crying loudly and decided to take them with her so she wouldn't get found out. She teleported out of the bakery and into Twilight's Treehouse. As soon as she got to the castle, she ordered Pinkie to take care of the twins and to stay in one of the rooms. As soon Pinkie closed the door to the room she picked, Mystia grabbed the Elements from her bag and teleported to the tree of harmony. 'Another bites the dust' she thought. She stood in front of the tree which was shinning with glory. Using the vines that she controls, she wrapped them around the tree so they can do their work. Slowly the tree lost it color and started to melt away. It powers went to Mystia while it reduced to ashes. Then Mystia pulled out one of the Elements to see that it colors faded away as The Element of Magic was total black. Now mostly no one can stop her. As she tested out the Elements, she also realized that their magic still remained, it's just that now they're corrupted. The elements of harmony now bend to her will now so that's an bonus. She then headed back by teleporting herself back to the castle, on Twilight's bed. She snuggled up and went to sleep where she had a very, very interesting dream. One where she ruled the world. She slightly smiled as the night passed away. > Thy Cake Is Thou Lie! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tia?" Luna yelled as she barged into Celestia room, distressed. "What?" Celestia questioned quickly. She was suddenly put on edge when she was just signing papers a few seconds ago... "Thou made a terrible dis-discovery." Luna answered. She looked around for anyone before closing and locking the doors. "Luna, I swear if this another prank, I sending you to the moon again." "We promise that this is more important than you eating cake." Luna retorted. Celestia noted to herself to lecture Luna before sitting down on the floor to hear what Luna have to say. "Thou afraid to say thy dark magic is back." Luna finally revealed. That stunned Celestia to the core. "What are we facing Luna." "Thou...don't know." Celestia was shook from the answer she received. Usually they know what they are facing when a threat comes to Equestria. But Luna tracing of dark magic or an evil presence never fails or falters. "Do you at least know where it is?" "By an miracle, We do. Thou at Ponyvile." Celestia was relieved that the monster was at their doormat but also confused. "Why didn't Twilight felt the dark magic then?" "Thou don't know about Twilight disappearance?" That shook Celestia to the core again. Why is she missing this important information? "Wh- What? Okay, call the Royal Guard about this. We need to act quickly!" Celestia stated as she stuttered. Luna nodded and opened the doors. She flew out of Celestia sight before coming to a screeching halt. 'You be better off with me in your place. If I had a big enough heart I could defeat that...thing you were talking about.' A voice said that Luna knew all too well. "Thou know you never do that unless you fighting for your kingdom." Luna said to the air, talking back to them. 'You will never know...' A few days before Pinkie's hypnosis.. Mystia was walking into Sweet Apple Acres to meet and have a friendly talk with AppleJack and the others. She wanted to say 'sorry' for not telling them anything about her disappearance to Fluttershy's cottage. She knocked on the door to the barn as she waited for the reply. AppleJack opened the door and said, "Well, howdy do Twilight! Whatcha doing here?" "Hello AppleJack, I was wondering if you can let me in and talk with your family? Please?" "Well sure, why not." She let 'Twilight' in as she viewed the interior of the barn. It was filled with medals, old photos of AppleJack parents, and more. There was also an small living room with just a old tv and one couch. She sat on the couch as AppleJack called everyone to the room. Soon enough, Big Mac, Granny Smith and Applebloom were there. "So Twilight, whatcha want to talk about?" "Oh actually I wanted to test an spell I been working on." "Then why do you need mah hole family?" "It an part of the spell. It can't work without your family so please, let me cast it on you.” she said demandly. AppleJack flinched before replying, “Okay Twi.” Mystia stood up from the couch as she said those words. She would still cast the spell even if she said no. Not like there is an escape from it. Anyways she started to chant the spell. “Your actions will be binded to my lead, so it is not for you to be the one to flee. Everyone will follow me, but my kingdom will not burn because of greed.” Everyone but Mystia's eyes was turned light green as she finished chanting the spell. She all quickly stood up and bowed to her. She ate up the praise as she ordered them to follow her. They soon got back to Rarity house as the sun fell down. The closed sign was on the door and the building look gloomy. Mystia didn’t felt drained from the last spell as her magic capacity were getting bigger. She ordered for the Apple Family to stay outside and stay hidden for she can handle this. She knocked on the door, ignoring the tension she was creating. The door swing open... “Well hello deari-” “Your actions will be binded to my lead, so it is not for you to be the one to flee. Everyone will follow me but my kingdom will not burn because of greed.” Mystia quickly recited. As Rarity succumbed to the spell, another one was knocked out Mystia's list of dangers. Rarity was gone. > War in the Crystal Empire > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few months later... Ponyvile was a cute little friendly town. But since Mystia’s appearance and Twilight’s disappearance, it turned into an gloomy ghost town. WithIn no pony in sight, a hooded figure would dashed along the roads, trying to find at least one pony in this town. But wherever she looked, no one will be there. The hooded figure would slide the hood down sometimes and if anyone were there, in common sense, they would see a zebra. Meanwhile, Celestia and Luna were having a meeting with Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, the mayors of the cities around Equestria, and the Royals. They had been discussing about the loss of ponies around the nation, including the Elements of Harmony wielders and the Elements themselves. Luna informed the Guard about it before the meeting started so they could patrol the city like crazy. "It seems that Equestria faces an new threat. As you all know, Normally, we usually tell it name and everything else, but this time, we can’t because we don't know," said Celestia. Everyone gasped at the statement except Luna. "It was said that it was located at Ponyvile but now, it scattered everywhere. To the wastelands to The Crystal Empire. Which reminds me, Princess Cadance, did you leave your empire unguarded?" Luna remarked. Princess Cadance’s eyes filled with worry as she realized there was barely to none protection for her little ponies. The crowd murmured as she got up from her chair and made a long teleport with Shining Armor and went back to the Crystal Empire but, where Mystia beated them to it. Her army that she grown from Ponyvile and beyond. There were a few changeling here and there if you looked close enough. She found them blending into society and had a few close calls with them. And among them were the infamous Sombra. "TO WAR, TO VICTORY!" she yelled. They charged at the Crystal Empire who Cadance already put an dome around and was calling Celestia. Shining was also trying to fight as he quickly brought out the Crystal Army. Each of Mystia’s soldiers had've an light matter protection armor. They had swords which could can cut through Usar Majors like butter. So passing through the barrier wasn't a challenge. "What the hay!" exclaimed Shining. Cadance was shocked with the display she has seen too and the residents of her kingdom started running to the palace. Mystia smirked as she saw Shining Armor. "So you're the one who was Twilight’s brother. Don't expect me to go easy on you or have one bit of mercy." she said. Shining was about to say something, before Mystia teleported behind him, saw she draw drew her own weapon. It detail was amazing as heldholded an scythe with a little dried blood already there. Shining didn't have one moment to bit the react as she beheaded him. Cadance had seen the whole display as she was crying and let go of the extra shield that was 'protecting' them. With the love almost gone from the city, the Crystal Heart was deactivated. Cadance was crying as she heard a teleport spell near her. If she didn't bring Shining with her, he would be alive. Now she would live his burden forever. Ever. Ever. Ever. "Goodnight Cadance." Mystia said before slicing her head too. She teleported down to the ground and took the Crystal Heart. She broke it in half and ate it. "Crunchy." she said with her mouth full. As the catastrophe punched the Crystal Empire, Celestia and the others watched through a telescope. This was a bigger threat than they thought. > The downfall of Equestria: Epilogue 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Past... There was nothing at first. But then a goddess came before the world. Her name was unknown but her title was the ruler of harmony. She created ponies and everything living with plans. Everything had a purpose in her eyes and everyone was happy. She gave everyone a soul to take care of and make into a pony. She got a little bit curious while making souls and wondered, 'What will happen to a soul which is not pure.' She called a few of the greatest scientists in her world to test on a soul. And that soul was named... Miranda Shaffer. My name is Miranda Shaffer. And I'm a test subject. Every second, every minute, every hour. I can't get a break from insanity. There a voice which telling me to stop the suffering and kill them. It calls itself Mystia Shadowmend. I won't though. They're my comrades, I can't hurt them. What will the queen think? But everyday, it gets stronger, louder, more demanding. It hurts... One day... It broke through. I couldn't contain it... and this is what they wanted. Now I wished I release it earlier when their back were turned on me. A small smile crept on my face while it devoured everyone. Why am I enjoying this? It so cruel. The shadow came back to me as it devilish smile was on it face. It like to creep me out. I don't. Soon enough , everyone in the lab was dead, their bodies littering the floor with blood. I felt... sad now? I never felt this in a long time. Maybe I became an empty vessel... The shadow with me smile kept on increasing. I don't feel good... Is it doing something to me? I tripped on air as I came crashing down. "Become one with me child. We will rule this land and take revenge on the evil queen who trapped us down here." It coiled around me as if it were it smoothest thing in the world. Every drop of blood in my body froze as my breathing became heavier. "What happening to me?" "I using magic on you. It won't take long. Do you trust me?" "I do but-" That all it needed to hear as it sped up it sliding on me. My vision blurred as everything became white then suddenly black. everything sense nummed as I fell to the monster. I opened my mouth to find that something was covering it and was invading it. It felt like mist and I couldn't stop it. I tried to break free when I realize what was happening when it was too late. It was combining me with itself. But honestly, I lost to myself. "So that what happened to her? We may have a problem on our hooves. Summon the elements for me please. We going to need them." The queen dismissed the maid as she frowned. Her curiosity got the better of her and now she put her whole world into trouble. She wasn't even a good queen. She put away her crown it the abyss portal as she fluttered to her room where two of her best creations were. Celestia and Luna. Their souls are in the mortal world and she didn't want them dying so she made them to be immortal. "I got the elements Queen." "Bring them in here and leave." The maid plopped them down at the nearest table and left. The queen concentrated on the elements, looking for the right moment to strike. This will change history I was eating the flesh of the ponies in the lab. For ponies, they have pretty good fles- "AAAAAAAAAAGH" I yelled. What is happening? 'The evil doer must be punished, so the pony mind is where it will be banished. They won't be of any trouble, for this pony mind is Twilight Sparkle." The world swirled with blackness as if I was getting sucked into a void. I felt empty than I ever been when the spell was completed and I was transferred into Twilight mind. A Few Years later in the future... I was sitting on the throne with Celestia and Luna in chains before me. I had a smirk on me and I felt like I can do anything. I already taunted them about I took action on every single detail. Learning from past mistakes from those elements of harmony. Speaking of which, I have all of them engraved on my throne. They were silent and had poker faces. I need rewards for my victory, so I called on Fluttershy. She was wearing a cute little maid outfit that Rarity would kill for. She came close to me and bowed. Celestia face slightly turn into a angered face which to my delight. "My queen, it a honor to make these two mares die embarrassing ways. Or should we play it slow?" While I couldn't think of any punishments except one, the 'princesses' were trembling. Good to taste fear... "Luna shall be eaten alive by ants and Celestia shall be banished to the sun for 1,000 years. And after she comes back she serve the maids in this castle." "But doesn't that mean they can't see each other in the afterlife?" a small smile crept on Fluttershy face. Being sadistic today -huh? Both of those faces on Celestia and Luna were priceless! I have to do this again with the next two alicorn I see. "Take them away. Also while we getting their punishments ready, let the guard relax with them. Pretty sure they would like the 'treat'." My faithful maid nodded and took them away. I teleported to my bed and just flopped there. This was revenge. > The downfall of Equestria: Epilogue 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Past... There was nothing at first.

I already taunted them about I took action on every single detail. Learning from past mistakes from those elements of harmony. Speaking of which, I have all of them engraved on my throne. They were silent and had poker faces. I need rewards for my victory, so I called on Fluttershy. She was wearing a cute little maid outfit that Rarity would kill for. She had a cute little bow tie on her tail and her collar was a peacock blue. Her eyes had nothing in them as they were white. She came close to me and bowed. Celestia face slightly turn into a angered face which to my delight. "My queen, It's a honor to meet you today. Are we going to play with me or are we going to play with them? Or should we play it slow?" "We should play it slow. I want this to be a long flight. They both going to be banished to the moon 1,000 years. They will be the guards toys when they come back and their princess title's shall be stripped from them." Both of those ponies eyes were priceless! They were big as frying pans. "And should we get started with the punishment now?" "Yes, now step away." She walked to the corner of the room and I started to cast the spell. "The moon shall be their banishment, as they vanishment. 1,000 years it shall be, before they will be free." The room filled up with a vortex, gulping up Luna and Celestia onto the moon. Fluttershy eyes were wide open as her saw them go. She looked scared and her fear is what I feed on. The vortex closed and the room was back to normal. I signaled Fluttershy to come to my lap and she did. Her fear slowly fading away, I munched up the rest and looked up to the ceiling. This was revenge.
