Twilight and The Alicorn Origins
Chapter 11: Fuego & Elsa: Prince of Fire and Princess of Ice.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterTwilight was immediately shaken awake, feeling something wet & bumpy travel from her back to her head. She looked back and saw a white dragon with black back scales licking her back! She shivered a bit, feeling that she's going to be eaten by something that's already inside the belly of a titan alicorn. Flora giggled right in front of her.
"Look at that," Flora commented "it seems you've made a friend!"
"Do friendships begin with back lickings?" Twilight asked, feeling disgusted as saliva dripped from her back.
"Most of the time, yes! Do you have a baby dragon home?"
"I actually do. His name is Spike and I hatched him from an egg. Since then, I've-" The dragon whimpered a bit, almost as if to tell Twilight to stop.
"Oh my! Really Mrs. Scaley?
"Mrs. Scaley? What's wrong with her?"
"... I... can't really say. She just hopes to meet him when, well, his time comes." Twilight's eyes & pupils grew in size: This dragon was Spike's mom! If this is his mom, where's his dad? And if she's here... what happened to her? Twilight turned around, seeing the dragoness had lowered her head and nuzzled the small alicorn's face. Looking, Twilight could see the dragoness crying.
"Take... care... of... Spike." 'Mrs. Scaley' spoke slowly, still crying.
"...Don't worry," Twilight replied, putting her hoof on the lower lip of the dragon "Spike is in good care!"
"Good. ... I... miss... him." Many questions about this dragon ran through Twilight's head: How did she die? Did some royal guards take her eggs away while in the wild? Was she some sort of protector of a local town? All of these questions were ruined when the map landed on her face.
"Oh!" Flora spoke "You got a map from Aeros? Are you looking for Celestia?"
"I am!" Twilight replied, looking at the map. She skimmed through the map, seeing Celestia's name & cutie mark next to something that looked liked fire & the name 'Fuego'. Flora peeked over her shoulder.
"Celestia near Fuego? Huh... guess they're practicing."
"Practicing? For what?"
"... It's best if you see for yourself."
"Fine. Thank you Flora. And Don't worry... Mrs. Scaley, your son will have a good life!"
"Thank... you... Twilight." The dragoness replied with a smile. Twilight ran inside a door, finding herself in a hallway yet again. She looked at the moving map, seeing Celestia was in a room not too far from her. She followed the map, unaware another Alicorn was following her.
Twilight stopped at a door, hearing what appeared to be some tango music inside.
Celestia... tango dances? Twilight thought. She couldn't imagine seeing Celestia, her own teacher, tango dancing at all! But, then again, she is full of surprises every once in a while. A sudden chill was felt right behind. Almost on impact, her teeth began to chatter.
"Oh! Sorry about that." a muffled female voice spoke right behind her. Twilight slowly turned around, meeting another Alicorn: She wore a simple white sweater with a grey scarf over her mouth, but exposing her flank area, which the coat was a light arctic blue gray, her tail showing that, though curly at the end, was white with some light blue stripes in it. Her cutie mark was a simple snowflake, and her eyes were, though light blue in color, they were faded away, almost looking white as well. Twilight could tell by, just looking at her, were two things: 1) She was blind, and 2) She looked so similar to the historical Snowdrop, the creator of the snowflake.
"Are you-" Twilight began to speak
"Am I snowdrop?" The Alicorn replied, though muffled, having a bit of anger in her tone "No, I'm not. I'm in no way of any relation to her, but, I will agree to one thing."
"And that is?"
"I chose her as my champion."
"Champion?"
"Yeah. Didn't Bravehaert tell you this? We can choose our own champions who have made a great deal in our talent?"
"...Kinda."
"Yeah... I don't blame you though. Name's Elsa: Princess of Ice." She extended her hoof, showing that it was frozen in ice. Twilight stared at it a bit, then extend her hoof to hers. The cold was immediately teeth chattering upon impact.
"T-t-twi-i-ilight S-spa-ar-rkle!!!" Elsa took her hoof off quickly. Twilight could see her hoof was now frozen in ice and it was numb.
"Oh yeah! You're the new princess we have here! I see you got one of Editor's maps around here." Twilgiht slammed her frozen hoof to the ground, getting it unfrozen and to help her nerves feel something.
"Yeah. This castle is huge!!! It's nothing compared to Canterlot.
"Yeah, I know. Considering we've been in Elysium for so many years, we had to do something other than lie down & do nothing."
"I saw that in the past visions."
"Yep! Luna and her imagination back then! I take it you're looking for Celestia?"
"I am, actually!"
"Yeah, I'm actually going to talk to my brother inside. Stay with me, he's super hot!"
"... Do you mean-" Elsa opened the door. Immediately, Fire erupted from the room, nearly causing Twilight to be caught on fire! Elsa used her magic and the two were in an ice shield. Inside the room, fire was everywhere, and, in the middle, with all the furniture (also on fire) away, a stallion was dancing to the music, performing some tango dances on his own. His his mane, almost like Bravehaert's, moving as if it were on fire, but the colors were (from bottom to top), red, orange, and yellow, making him look like he really was on fire. His coat, though yellow, blended into blue at the hooves, and his cutie mark was a single flame.
"Oh yes!" He spoke to himself in a Spanish accent "Fuego! You really are quite the Semental guapo, ¿no?" Elsa giggled to herself. The stallion stopped dancing and, with his magic, turned off the music. The room became cool, and he turned around, seeing Elsa standing there. He became angry, and his mane grew in size with rising temperatures!!! "ELSA!!! ¿Cuántos tiempo te he dicho a golpear antes de entrar!?!?!? Odio cuando usted acaba de irrumpir aquí y-" He stopped as he saw Twilight entered right beside Elsa, staring awkwardly at him. His mane went down, & he became cooler. He turned around, licked his hoof and stroked his mane back with it, then turned back around. "My... apologies, Señorita Twilight Sparkle."
"No need to be such a hot head." Elsa chuckled. The Flame alicorn gave her a stern look, burning up a bit, but calming down.
"Let me guess," Twilight spoke "Are you Fuego?"
"Sí! Mi nombre es Fuego: Prince of Fire!" Twilight looked at the two, seeing the opposites.
"Fire and Ice, huh? Look, Fuego, I need to find Celestia! Do you have any idea where she's at?" Fuego thought for a bit.
"Sorry there, mi herman a mayor went away, trying to find more quality time with our other hermanos."
"Dang it!"
"Don't worry Twilight," Elsa spoke "You'll find her eventually. Be patient... and not like Fuego here."
"HEY!!!" Fuego yelled "I'm still here, ya sabes!"
"Oh, sorry for being truthful, Fuego."
"You shut your mouth!"
"Make me!" The two began to stare down at each other. Twilight wasn't quite sure what it'd look like, but she knew, it was anything but pretty.
"...care to show me your past?" Twilight asked, breaking their concentration. They looked at her, then back to each other.
"I... guess we can." Elsa spoke
"After all," Fuego added "we were born on the same day." They both turned to Twilight and their horns glowed: Fuego a yellow and Blizzard a blue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both Elysium and Tartarus, still a bit like giants, but small enough to walk on Earth, laid down on their back, looking to the sky.
"I can't believe it," Elysium spoke "we... actually did it!"
"We... really didn't do that much." Tartarus replied, looking to Elysium to his side "Something, much greater maybe, brought these ponies to life!"
"You... really think we're something small to something greater?" They looked at each other. Tartarus chuckled to himself.
"I hope not! Don't want anything that could threaten my power over this world!"
"You mean 'protection', right?"
"...yeah, sure... whatever." They both looked to the sky, seeing the sun in the distance.
"It feels so... fine here.
"Wanna go back to the sun?"
"You can, I'm going to stay here and nap a bit. The kids seem to like it whenever I sleep." She began to rub her belly and close her eyes. Tartarus simply rolled his eyes and, with his magic, teleported and grew back into the titan he was comfortable being with. He could feel the heat from the sun on his coat, but had to agree with Elysium: the land's temperature wasn't hot, nor cold. An evil grin came across his face.
"Let's bring things up a notch." Using his magic, he carried enough of the surface of the sun for his plan: just enough to not burn all of earth, but neither small to not make a difference. He looked to where a bunch of their new ponies were at: just the right amount! He threw the piece of the sun at them!
Elysium woke up, feeling the air had gotten warmer a bit. Then, she heard screaming!!! She flared his wings and flew right to the source!!! She stopped and watched other ponies, running around, also on fire like her! She looked up and heard the evil laughter made by Tartarus! She used her magic and grew right back into the titan she was. She marched to Tartarus, giving him a death glare!
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?!?!?" She yelled to him! Tartarus still chuckled, see in her angry for the first time ever, but she looked so cute doing it.
"What's it look like I'm doing?" He returned
"YOU'RE BURNING THOSE LITTLE PONIES!!!"
"Exactly! I'm telling them who's authority they're now under." She growled at him and pushed him out of the way! She used her magic and blasted the fire away with her magic, not realizing that, though it was extinguished, a single tree was on fire and her magic went to both the north & south, freezing the two parts of earth solid. Tartarus let out a sigh of disappointment. She turned back to him, her left eye twitching with anger. Unbeknownst to both of them, Elysium made both the desert and the arctic. The ponies below were, though darkened by the flame, didn't die at all. They immediately praised their savior, bowing down & worshipping her out of love, but also Tartarus out of fear.
"What has gotten into you!? You've been acting... so bad!"
"...'So bad'?"
"... I have no words! You're not what I thought you were!"
"I never was, Elysium, but you what I think you are!" She growled right at him! "Oh look! A new kid!" She turned around and, sure enough, two kids were born: a young Fuego from a tree. Elysium looked and saw her own snowy north and south.
"Oh dear. It seems I've made this world a bit cooler." She looked and a glacier came off of the snowy north, drifting to the desert at a fast pace. She squinted her eyes and another Alicorn, a young Elsa, breaking from the ice! She landed next to the young Fuego, who just flew up to her, curious on who she was. The two opposite alicorns stared down at each other for a moment, unsure if they were friends or not. They lifted their hooves and touched each other. They immediately retracted in pain, looked at each other, then got into a fighting pose, growling at each other! The ponies nearby ran away, not wanting to see something that could hurt them all.
"You get one and I get one?"
"...Sounds fair." They both used their magic and lifted the two Alicorns away from each other: Elysium with Elsa and Tartarus with Fuego. Even when floating away, the two tried to fight each other, using all of their straight to get away from their parent's grasp and using whatever they had left to fight each other. They both gasped at their parent's sight, stiffening as they were placed onto their giant parent's single hoof.
"My creation from the sun," Tartarus began, staring down at Fuego "What is your name!?"
"My name, señor?" Fuego asked. Tartarus lifted him closer to his eye! He moved back a bit and swallowed "It's... Fuego!"
"Fuego? Since you're my creation, it's best if I accept you. Elysium?"
"Oh yes!" Elysium replied, looking down at her daughter. She extend her other hoof and scratched her own daughter's mane. "What is your name, my lovely creation?"
"It's... Elsa." Her daughter replied "Elsa, ma'am."
"Elsa? How fitting. Are you ready, Tartarus?"
"You know I'm ready!" They both opened their mouths and levitated their chidden inside. Both of the kids screamed, flying away as best as they can! Elsa blasted a spell at the throat, causing it to snow inside her belly while Fuego blasted fire into his father's throat, making it rain fire into his belly! They both failed, as both only shrugged, with their parents closing their mouths and swallowing their child at the same time.
Elsa fell into the field, seeing only her new family inside. The castle that was inside was starting to be built, as Everest used his strength to make the boulders, Celestia flying above to lead them all, and Luna acting more like a mascot with Aqua providing refreshments & Flora, who grew a solid foot with roots inside the ground, grew fruit from her mane.
"Hello there!" Luna greeted "We're making a castle!" Celestia flew and landed next to Elsa.
"Hello," Celestia greeted "My name's Celestia. The big guy's Everest, the one providing drinks is Aqua, the one providing snacks is Flora, and the one that greeted you is Luna. What's your name?"
"...Elsa." She replied
"Did you make it drop that white stuff earlier?" Everest asked
"...You mean this?" She used her magic and some snow fell off her hoof.
"...Yep, she did." Flora responded
"Great!" Celestia exclaimed "You can be our cooler!"
"... you're making a castle?"
"Yep!"
"... Well, I don't know anypony else, might as well."
Fuego landed into the dark cave inside! Aeros looked above and, with his wings, he foe up and caught Fuego! Unfortunately, Fuego was hot, so Aeros dropped him out of pain. Fuego landed roughly, glowing with anger.
"¿Qué fue eso!?" Fuego shouted Aeros landed and tilted his head
"Uh... sorry?" Areos replied "Look, I'm Aeros, and I take it father swallowed you?"
"...Father?"
"Tartarus."
"... Si, he did. The name's Fuego."
"Aeros. I'm... actually happy somepony is here now. It's been so scary when you're alone here!"
"...I can imagine." Aeros walked up to him, and Fuego could hear his stomach growl. "Got anything to eat here?"
"I was about to ask you that." They both stared at each other.
"... I guess we need to search here?"
"Be my guest. I've search through here, never had I found anything!"
"Nothing!?"
"Nothing."
"...Oh great!"
