Chapter 2: Fool to dream

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Celestia watched the display before her with a crooked glance contempt of disgust. She had become second fiddle to the Night mare. Her pathetic younger sister, And after all the trouble of inviting the regal pony to her bed just to be rejected for her sister was an insult he would not take lightly.
Luna smiled up at Mischief , her green eyes sparkling in the light of the moon a true natural beauty beyond compare, much like a star seen only in the night but always there. ”Dearest princes, if you don’t mind. I’d like to join you by your side.. Where we can gaze upon the stars, here together, now and forever. Dear Luna can’t you see. We were simply meant to be…” Luna had never been shown such love. Never mind ever serenaded so beautifully, Her blush depend as she sat close beside him, the moon upon her flank begging to glow like the moon that hung so high above them. Mischief smiled and nuzzled her close, enjoying the sweet scent of her star mane, it smelled of night blooming jasmine as well as sweet drops of morning dew giving off a heavenly scent only found in the world of night they would make their own. As she blushed, he gave her a gentle kiss and her eyes grew wide before closing gently. The night came alive, shooting stars crossing the sky and the crescent moon upon her side glowing brighter and brighter and her mane swirling and growing as the spark inside her began to ignite.

The plan was simple
There was no way she could fight. That weak little princess,
That mare of the night

Celestia poured over the spells in her library and thought of a plan, to ruin her sister just as fast as she can. Perhaps the prince wouldn’t like her if she wasn’t quite as nice, no more a princess of sugar and spice. She found the spell to make her a horror. And then shed wed the prince it would be her honor…then one more accident is all shed need to get rid of him, that regal steed.
So step inside and welcome to the show,
It’s about one thing the RACE TO THE THRONE

Luna led the way to a place that seldom find, just like her they were forgotten and left behind. It was a strange hollow that led to a large willow tree where the light of the moon served as a spotlight to a regal tomb. Mischief looked at the sad look upon Luna’s face and stepped closer. “I’m sorry for your loss….” She looked down and used her magic to make a ring of roses for their graves. ”Mother and father died when I was just a filly….It was right after sister had earned her cutie mark, she was so happy to be able to raise the sun…I can remember the smiles on their faces as they congratulated her. I can only remember their faces…and even then the memory is beginning to fade…soon enough Nobody will recall them… and just like me…they will be forgotten.” She gasped not wanting to share her insecurities with him; she had to be like her sister. She had to be strong and domineering if she would ever hope to be noticed. Mischief nuzzled her gently.” I won’t forget you…you’re not alone anymore….Its allright….I’ll be here for you always…I promise.” And with that she couldn’t help but burst into tears as she hid her sobbing face in his embrace, it was the first time she had ever cried in front of anyone and for once in her lonely life she felt whole.
Celestia took her place and decided to take action.” Dearest Luna, I need to have a word with you…come to the hall just before we trade places for the day.” Luna gasped and saw the hour was late soon enough it would be time for day. “I must hurry or else the day will be late...” Mischief watched her panicked expression; He knew something was wrong here, something terribly wrong. “Dearest Luna…one dance before the night is done? “He knew he needed to soothe her, to put her fears to rest. He wasn’t a typical heroic prince but for her he’d try his best. Hoof in hoof they did stand, a sweet glance, A tender embrace. They danced together at a loving pace, sweet whispers said face to face. Becoming a part of a world she never knew and it felt so right in the magic of their night.
Their dance ended but their love complete, always present pure and sweet. She bowed shyly and headed back to her sister as she was instructed with the purest smile, the sky began to break into that glorious twilight today was different; it was the start of a new day, in that tower shed no longer stay. For now she could be a part of that world she never knew, it would be allright…for this mare of the night.
As Luna left with a happy aura about her Mischief took it upon himself to follow the sweet mare, There was a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach like something horrible would befall his beloved if he didn’t take action. Silently…slowly he followed the night mare to the palace hall, making sure not to be seen by the palace guards. He found himself behind a column, peering around the corner not seeing the obviously false smile Celestia often wore. No…In its place was a vengefully menacing glare and a sadistic grin. He knew he was right to follow Luna inside this Celestia was no princess but a tyrant that was spoon feeding lies coated with sugar to equestria to remain its absolute dictator.
“Luna I see you and Mischief are very friendly indeed…perhaps too friendly.” She looked down upon her sister as Luna’s mane went from the stars to the light blue it became during the day.” Dear sister have you not learned your place? The people do not respect you nor know your name…how do you expect to rule equestria?” Luna looked up at her as her powers became restricted by the suns light “I….I don’t want the throne….I just want to love and be loved….by my special somepony…” she looked as tears of joy left her eyes, she felt wanted and seen…it was more wonderful than any ridiculous title.

Whether she wanted it or not
Celestia did not see
The night mare had to die
for her to be queen

Celestia approached Luna with a spine chilling smile. “OH silly little Luna… why can’t you see?…we need to be wed if I’m to be queen” Luna’s eyes widened as she backed away something was wrong but what she could not say. “Sister….I….I don’t understand….. why have you summoned me here?” At that moment Luna felt pure fear as Celestias smile twisted into that of a deranged killers.” Simple my dear…little…sister….You need a makeover….. I think a chimera would suit you perfectly…you can wallow in freakish misery for the rest of your days…” her words became darker as she chuckled.” And after he sees that. I’m sure your precious prince charming will be heading the charge to strike you down…ooh it shall be like a fairy tale. The Nobel prince defending the radiant princess from the blood thirsty monster. Of course he’d never know it was you. No you’ll simply be the mare who ran away…or better yet was killed by the beast and I…can be there to pick up the pieces of his broken heart.” Luna tried to run but there was no escape…no way out…. She heard the hum as Celestias horn began to glow and knew the end was here. She shed a tear for the one she loved unaware he had jumped in front of her and was hit by the twisted spell..
He collapsed heaving in pain one of his legs becoming an eagles claw, followed by a lions paw.. the cracking noise of his bones echoed in the hall as one hoof became that of a dragons leg, the hall echoing with his cries of pain as his other leg snapped and rotated around.. his body began to extend and his flesh rip away giving way to scales and the mismatched horns upon his head, his mane continued down his back as the spikes grew along his now enlarged spine and finally his new tail ripped forth from his hide and his flanks, taking with it his marks. finally it was all over his new wings sprouted as he writhed in pain, no longer a pony but another beast entirely. Luna cried and ran to his side. “Mischief!!....Mischief!!!!” she cried out hysterically. “It’s gonna be allright….d..don’t worry….don’t worry…”

Celestia scoffed “stupid colt!! How dare you interfere!!! That was a one-time use spell!!!! Guards there’s a monster in the palace!!!! Hurry!!!” The guards rushed in and began to attack the defenseless creature. Luna cried out and began to attack them. “no!! stop!!!Leave him alone!!!!” with that single action it was all too easy.. and with a heavy kick Luna was out cold and her love drug away.” Take the traitor and the monster to the dungeon…I shall continue on with my duties no one shall know of her betrayal…let it be written as if it never occurred…” She didn’t want questions to be raised regarding the incident, it was easier to put her away and pretend she was in her room. No subjects cared if she was gone… and then Luna would have a most terrible ‘accident’ and die a tragic death…soon to be forgotten like her parents.
