Persephone's Story
Chapter 2: Why does nopony care?
Previous ChapterSeph sat crying in the Everfree, in a clearing that she had made a while back. Eventually she stopped but still stayed, sitting and waiting. She didn’t know what she was waiting for, just something exciting. She sighed and slid the pack of her, she opened it and pulled out a book. She could have just teleported the book from her room, but she tries not to use too much magic. She opened and began reading, it was a book about a hoof-made pony whom everypony feared, but eventually they came to like him. Frankenpony, was the name of the book. She loved reading these kinds of books, horror, they made her fell better. Sometimes. “Hmm” she sighed and put the book back “I could go scare some ponies. No, dad wouldn’t like that. He wouldn’t like me being here either, though.” She hung her bag on a tree branch and began walking deeper into the forest. There was a rhythm to it, a nice one that Seph couldn’t help but sing to.
“There are few who deny, at what I do I am the best
For my trickery is renowned far and wide” She began, a song she had worked on for a while now.
“When it comes to chaos in a candy filled sky
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my wolf-like charms
I have seen grown colts give out a shriek” That wasn’t a lie, but she hadn’t scared them on purpose, yet she enjoyed the sound of their screams.
“With the wave of my paw, and a well-placed growl
I have swept the very bravest off their hooves
Yet day after day, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary without the screams
And I, Seph, the Chaos Queen” She thought herself the queen of chaos even though her father was still the King, or Lord, but he never used his powers for evil. Which was what they were intended for.
“Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh, somewhere deep inside of my core
An emptiness began to form
There's something out there, far from my home
A longing that I've never known” She began flying over the treetops looking out below her.
“I'm a master of chaos, and a demon of balance
And I'll teleport you right out of your fur” She had done this once and it was hilarious.
“To a colt in Kentucky, I'm Misses Unlucky
And I'm known throughout England and Prance
And since I have magic, I can create mass panic
And at the same time recite quotations
No animal nor pony can scream like me” With emphasis she roared so load it shook the forest below her.
“With the fury of my recitations
But who here would ever understand
That the Chaos Queen with her toothy grin
Would long for her crown, if they only understood
She'd take it all again if she only could” Oh, how she wanted to be crowned so she could rule.
“Oh, there's an empty place in my core
That calls out for something unknown
The fear and screams that come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears” By the time she ended her song she was in a deep part of the forest and the more she cried the more Poison Joke surrounded her, though not close enough for her to be affected. She lied down in the grass, curling her tail around her and went to sleep.
A whiles away her father was looking for her. He almost couldn’t find her, almost. He heard her roar, he was pretty sure all of Equestria heard that roar, and followed it. He found her singing to herself, she had a lovely voice just like her mother, but he ignored the song and followed her. He noticed that below her Poison Joke was blooming, “Oh great” he said under his breath, “A magical reaction, but she is too young.” He kept following her until she went down into a deep part of the forest. Neither of them really had nothing to fear in these woods, but still it worried him. He perched himself in a tree above her, because the ground was covered with Poison Joke, and saw she went to sleep. He sighed, “I know how you feel” then teleported them home. He managed to also grab her bag and teleport that too.
