Her vision adjusted to the light, and she gasped once again: inside wasn't a large stomach, but, as Celestia mentioned, it was a beautiful land!!! The area was a grass field that never seemed to end, and the blue glowing ponies weren't glowing anymore, nor blue (with the exception of a few), but they looked like regular ponies once again. Even though this was a grassland, some castles were seen in the distance and regular ponies entering & exiting them: perhaps these were like huge family castles? There seemed to be a sun inside Elysium, making the place bright & warm, giving Twilight a bit of a fuzzy feeling, but in a good way. A group of ponies passed by her in a flash!

"SORRY PRINCESS!!!" One of them spoke. Twilight rubbed her eyes and couldn't believe it: An Earth Pony and a unicorn were flying!!! They didn't have the wings Rarity used, nor was their an aura of any color around them, but they were just flying!!!

"Princess!!!" Twilight yelled "Did you just-"

"Yes Twilight," Celestia replied with a chuckle "inside Elysium, physics no longer applies here, meaning earth ponies & unicorns can fly around, just like the pegasi."

"And don't worry about hunger and sleep," Luna added "in here, there's always food around & nopony ever gets hungry while inside Elysium, and, while the sun does set & the moon rises, no pony needs sleep, though the houses & rooms have magical walls that help get rid of sound, allowing us to have a good night's rest."

"All of this while inside the stomach of a galactic sized Alicorn!?!?!?" Twilight asked

"Yes, and no," Cadence replied in a bit of a confused tone "it's really weird to explain, but basically, yes, all of this is inside Elysium's belly, but no, for this is actually a different world altogether. It just happens to be inside Elysium herself."

"Where are we going!?!?!?"

"To the castle of the Alicorns!" Luna replied

"It's the huge castle that towers over the others." Celestia added. They flew on right ahead: Twilight couldn't help but look around: this whole place really was beautiful and peaceful. The ponies here seems to have a great time with each other, having a lot of laughs, kissing one-another, and just having fun! She looked back and, instead of seeing a huge hole, or, at the very least, the throat, was nothing but more sky & more land.

"Princess?" Twilight asked

"Yes?" Celestia responded

"How do we get out of here?"

"Oh Twilight, the answer is simple: we fly up."

"...Just up?"

"Straight right up! We exit the same way we came in, so don't worry about it." Thank goodness for that, Twilight though.

"Is there any end to this world?"

"Not that we know of," Cadence replied "Celestia lived here the longest, and yet, she doesn't know if this world has an end or not."

"It's true." Celestia commented "For the first few years of my life, before Elysium swallowed Luna, I roamed around here endlessly with nopony around, eating the fruits that Elysium provided. Never did I see my own made landmark, a simple stick in the ground, again as I traveled in one direction."

"So... there early is no end to this world?"

"Looks like it." Luna responded

"But... shouldn't there be an end to this world? I mean, it's still inside Elysium's stomach, right?"

"Like I said," Cadence responded "it's confusing."

They flew silently for the rest of their trip and, right in the distance, was another castle, this one towering over the others!!! It was much bigger than Canterlot's castle without a doubt, perhaps it was just as big as a single tooth inside Elysium's mouth, as Twilight remembered. They all flew much faster, heading over to the castle at an alarmingly faster rate then usual. A single open area was there, allowing them to land on it. As soon as they landed, Twilight looked up and, all around them, there were a LOT of Alicorns! Each had a pair of wings & a horn, but they all looked so different, ranging from different colors and some wearing different accessories. They all seemed to busy with their conversations to notice them.

"We're here!" Celestia announced. As soon as Celestia spoke, the conversations stopped, as the Alicorns turned to see the four. Twilight hid herself right behind the princesses, not really sure how most will deal with the others. Celestia & Luna scooted over a few step, and Cadence gently pushed Twilight forward. The small Alicorn froze in place, shivering as the eyes of the other Alciorns stared at her.

"This here," Luna added "Is Twilight Sparkle: The unicorn who helped me turn back from Nightmare Moon, thwarting another of our father's plan!"

"She also saved me and her older brother from the Changeling attack during our wedding!" Cadence added

"And, with the help of her friends," Celestia finished "saved us, Equestria, and the whole world from Lord Tirek!"

"HER!?!?!?" A booming voice asked. Loud stomping was heard, causing some of the alicorns to walk to the side. Another alicorn appeared: it was a stallion with a crimson red coat & black, fire moving like mane with an eyepatch over his left eye. He wore black armor with gold edges around it, looking similar to King Sombra's outfit, but had a helmet that looked like Shining Armor's and no cape was seen, probably to make space for his wings. His cutie mark was covered by his armor, not even showing what it would look like, but by the looks of him, it may have something to do with military or fighting. He walked over to the four, standing at least a foot taller than Celestia, and lowered his neck to get a good look at Twilight with his orange-yellow eye. Twilight froze a bit, not really sure what to do, as he inspected the small alicorn.

"Are you sure you're not lying?" He asked

"What ever do you mean, brother?" Celestia asked

"Look at her! She's so small! I can understand YOU taking him on and defeating him, but her? That's just laughable!"

"Hey!" Twilight replied, snapping out of her phase. "Celestia, Luna, and Cadence put all of their magic in me as a way to hide their power before Tirek would come & take it away for himself! I hid as well I could from him, but he found me and we fought each other!!!"

"It's true." Celestia added "She held up against him, but they were equal to each other in power."

"We couldn't help because Tirek had us trapped in Tartarus!" Luna added

"And he used Discord to help him," Cadence added "then betrayed him, stealing all of HIS chaotic magic away!"

"So by the fact he absorbed many ponies' own magic AND Discord's made my battle more difficult!" Twilight added "But I held up, sacrificing my magic to him to save my friends, but we won and he's back where he belongs!!! So how is that!?!?!?" She looked directly into the armored alicorn's eye, not even flinching. A large smirk appeared in his face, he shut his eye tight, chuckling a bit, then fell over to the floor, laughing hard! The other Alicorns joined his laughter, some still standing while others rolled on the floor.

"You!" the armored alicorn laughed loudly, wiping a tear from his right eye "You really defeated Tirek!?!?!?" Twilight looked at him, the the others, feeling embarrassed for the way she stood up like that.

"You... don't believe me?" It took him a while to stop, but, still giggling a bit, he stood right back onto his legs.

"Without Celestia, I wouldn't believe you at all, but, I do. All the things you did, you earn my respect."

"What!?!?!? Really?"

"Oh yes! Allow me to introduce myself, the name's Braveheart: Prince of Battles!"

"Battles?"

"We will leave you alone for a bit." Celestia spoke. The princesses and other Alicorns left. Twilight could hear them chatter, hearing the other Alicorns apologizing for laughing, but also hearing Celestia accepting their apologies, making small talk with them.

"Oh yes," Braveheart spoke "but not just that: fights, duels, and, my favorite, Wars!"

"...Wars?"

"Yes! The time when two sides of great numbers clash for their own perspective of justice!!! When old war heroes battle to keep their glory and new ones join their ranks!!!! The time when lives are at stake!!! The time when one land's survival all depends on one outcome in a battle that will-"

"Never mind that I asked that."

"Oh, sorry, I get carried away sometimes when reliving those memories. So many battles I've gone through, and yet, nopony knows me at all, only a small group of soldiers and, though not a lot, my champions."

"Champions?"

"Yes. These are heroes that have impressed me throughout their lives, no matter what side they're on, I take great note on them. Many of these soldiers are now here, with our mother, Elysium."

"Can, you give a rundown on who they are?"

"If you tell them about me, please, don't, I am only a soldier and I only wish to fight! I will tell you, however, your brother, Shining Armor has impressed me the most and has a spot here."

"...Really?"

"Considering how he battled with you against King Sombra, throwing his own wife to save your assistant, Spike, and is a brother to an Alciorn princess? How can I refuse?"

"Well... thank you so much, Braveheart."

"No problem. Have any questions?"

"Well, I do, but-"

"Is it about my eyepatch?

"...Yes, it is."

"Ah! That was the first, and probably, my only greatest battle!

"What happened?"

"Well, it involves most of us way back before Equestria existed and pony kind was struggling to survive."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but, instead of talking to you about it, I can show you."

"Show me? How?"

"Like this." He lowered his glowing horn, a brighter red aura, and touched her own horn with it. Twilight saw everything fade to black, seeing now, instead of being in the castle inside the giant Alicorn, Elysium, she floated in the darkness of space. Instead, she was greeted by the giant face of Elysium, looking down with her purple pupil eyes and smiling at something. Twilight turned around and, right below, she saw her planet, floating around almost peacefully. Elysium lifted her hoof and waved some clouds away, passing through Twilight, and, right below, was a kingdom being built.

------------------------------------

Elysium walked around the planet: to her, it was like a large ball that she could carry on her back, that is, if she could keep it on there for as long as she was fine with the destruction of countless lives on this planet. On the planet, she saw millions of small ponies: some male, others female, some old, others young, all in different colors, but, unlike her, some had only a pair of wings, others with a single horn, and others had neither, but there was none that had both a pair of wings and a horn together. Many of these small ponies would look up to her, smiling and wave at her, for you see, to them, Elysium was the perfect being: She had the power to eliminate them all if she felt like it, and perhaps could demand sacrifices, but she didn't, for, though there were those that deserve punishment, there were others that were innocent. These innocent ones were usually children, mothers & fathers, the elderly, and ponies who wish to help out their local tribes survive and make peace with others. Two tribes tribe became so influential, their numbers grew miraculously, becoming the first two kingdoms to ever rule the land. While the names of the kingdoms have been long forgotten, it was clear that one worshipped Elysium herself, thanking her for their kingdom to flourish, while the other, however, resented her, wishing that she wouldn't exist. Her horn glowed and she teleported herself to the planet, shrinking and turning into a warrior mare. She walked to another warrior, this one, a Stallion, talking to the kingdom's emperor.

"Why yes," the stallion warrior spoke "you must eliminate them! They wish to only bring your kingdom in ruin!" Elysium walked to him.

"TARTARUS!!!" Elysium yelled, sounding like a mother to Celeistia.

"Tartarus?" The emperor asked.

"...I'll be with you. Elysium!!! What are you doing!?!?!? Can't you see I'm-"

"To the sky! NOW!!!"

"...Fine!!!" They both disappeared in a flash of light, Elysium's Blue while the other, Tartarus, Red. All the surrounding ponies immediately backed up, some falling to the floor in  a worshipping stance. They all looked up to see them returned to their giant selves and staring at each other in anger. Tartarus, unlike Elysium, was as black as the night around them with a blood red mane and teeth that were as sharp as a shark with a tongue as sly as a snake's, all complimented by his cat shaped yellow eyes & bat like wings.

"Elysium! I was in the middle of a deal to help them eliminate grow their kingdom." The other giant Alicorn replied

"How many times do I have to tell you: stop harming these ponies!!!"

"Oh sure, like the many times I tell you to stop HELPING these ponies!!!"

"I help them because they're weak and need help! You made those predators and nearly hunted them to extinction!!!"

"Yes I did, but look at them now: they're surviving, growing in numbers and building up their strengths! The weaker ones must be eliminated to make sure those strong enough can survive!"

"The 'weaker ones' have lives as well and can offer more when given the chance! They're special that way!"

"Just because they're 'special', it doesn't mean they're helpful!" Elysium gasped at what Tartarus said! How could he say that about the ponies that didn't survive!?!?! Immediately, in a fit of rage, she slapped him across the face with her right hoof! Tartarus rubbed his cheek where Elysium slapped him, turned to him, and growled loudly! Elysium growled right back, and the two titans went into a fighting position. They both pounced at each other, biting onto each other's necks & manes, followed by some punches & kicks to each other! The ponies in the two kingdoms below saw the two giants battle, looked at each other, and charged at each other! The first war in Equestrian history was made, thanks to both Elysium and Tartarus fighting each other first!

The two giants punched each other in the face at the same time, causing blood to come out their noses. In the air, a single drop of blood from Tartarus and a single drop from Elysium landed onto each other, forming together. The blood, while dropping, dried up quickly, forming into the shape of an Alicorn. The dried up shape began to crack around the eye area, revealing an opening pair of orange-yellow eyes. The cocoon like silhouette broke apart, showing a young Braveheart, who was a blank flank. Braveheart released a roar filled with rage!!! The two stopped battling for a moment and looked looked for the sound of the blood curling yell. He flew up to the titan Alicorns, blasting them with his horn! Both of the Titans felt the pain, with the only response being various 'Ows', like if they were being pinched by something. Braveheart flew right in between their faces, firing at their eyes, turning around to deliver equal damage to their faces. Elysium covered her eyes, feeling the small, but annoying pain on her face area, but Tartarus used his magic to stop the small Alicorn. The Alicorn struggled to get out of the giant stallion's magical grasp, still trying to battle against the two giants, despite being overpowered.

"Easy there!" Tartarus spoke, calming down the alicorn. Braveheart looked up at the giant stallion, still filled with rage to battle the two giants! Tartarus lifted his giant right hoof and placed the small, struggling alicorn on the smooth, round hoof. Elysium lowered her hoof down and looked at the small alicorn, who began to bite down on the bottom of Tartarus' hoof.

"Who... is that?" she asked

"This little fellow? I think he's another one of our children!"

"Another one!?!?!? How was he 'born'?" The two looked around, seeing the small, barely visible cracked blood shell that the little guy came from.

"It seems as if when we punched each other, some of our blood touched each other and became one large drop."

"It is!" Braveheart yelled, stomping his right hoof on Tartarus' giant hoof.

"So... he came from us fighting?" Elysium asked

"Of course!" Tartarus replied "He's the essence of battles, fights, and war!"

"That's right!" Braveheart yelled with pride, still attempting to battle against his own father's giant hoof "And you will both fall!!!"

"He really has your side in him." Elysium commented dryly

"He does!" Tartarus replied with pride, looking down at to his son. "What is your name, son?"

"...Braveheart!" The young Alicorn replied, standing up as straight as a soldier.

"Ah! Braveheart! Never backing down from a fight, eh?"

"No sir!"

"You can have him!" Elysium spoke, turning around and rubbing her belly "I doubt he will get along with the others."

"Works by me." Tartarus commented. He used his magic and lifted the alicorn to his large, open maw, having his tongue stick out a bit as he released a long 'Ahh'. The young Braveheart struggled to get out!

"NO!!!" Braveheart yelled "I will not die!!! You will pay for this!!!" Tartarus closed his mouth, lifted his head up, and swallowed the Alicorn. Braveheart fell into, not a stomach, but an alternate land where fire & lava was everywhere, a lack of food was around, the sky was darkened by smoke, and nowhere was safe. Other alicorns like him, surrounded him, wondering who this pony was. Braveheart got up and growled at the others.

"Easy!" one of the alicorns, a black mare spoke "I take it father swallowed you too?"

"...Yes." Bravehaert replied, slowing his breath. "Who are you all?"

"We're your brothers and sisters!" another answered, this one also a mare, but all her features kept changing

"What!?!?!?"

"Relax: father swallowed us because, our mother, Elysium, sees we have more of him in us rather than her, and that we may hurt her children inside her belly."

"So what?"

"So," another spoke "We remain here, training our magic."

"Training? For what!?!?!?"

"For the end of Elysium."

"... A war?"

"Oh yes!"

"... Maybe I will enjoy it here."

"What's your name?"

"...My name is Braveheart: I am the Prince of War!!!"
