Equestria Origins: Chapter Two

The City That Fell From The Sky II

The war raged for many years. Both races of wolves and ponies clashed with iron and steel. The land was tragically scared and often at times you would come across a field littered with ash, fire, and the bodies of countless soldiers. Celestia had long recovered form her attack and was aiding Luna in the attempt to rid there land of this plague. However, Luna had begun to change. Her mercy and compation was replaced by bitter ruthlessness and hate. The war had scarred her badly. Her face was tattered with cuts and scars. A few months earlier the wolves attacked the castle and the two princesses where forced to flee. They where held up in the country side, with a cloaking spell to hide there camp. Only few soldiers remained. The rest where just old colts, mares, and foals, and the wolves were closing in. Equestria had lost so much. The only thing they gained, was a body count.

A messenger was sent and was met by one of the guards, It was from King Magma. Requesting peace.

“Surely he does not think we would fall for such a low trick....?” Luna said in a surprised tone of voice. Celestia stood silent, pondering the situation. “Tia? Tia!?” Celestia was pulled from her trance. “What?” Celestia asked slightly annoyed. “I was saying that we should bring all of our soldiers to the treaty signing and when there guard is down, we ambush them! We could crush them and rid them from our land!” Celestia was shocked with her sister’s ruthlessness. But, the only thing she could say was. “That’s no good Luna. There’s no telling if they are planning to do the same thing. If it where to happen. We would surely be defeated.” Celestia said in a low voice.

“We still should try!”

“We would be wasting the lives of our faithful soldiers!”

“So what!?”

Celestia backed away. “You...you don’t care about the lives of our men? The men that took up arms ready to fight for us without request? How, Luna.....How!. How can you be so cruel? Luna, what happened to you?” Luna stood silent. She locked gazes with Celestia. Her eyes emitting embers of hate and arrogance. “You are weak....” She said in a low voice. “What?” Celestia asked in a some-what scared voice.

“YOU ARE WEAK! WE WILL NEVER DEFEAT OUR ENEMY WITH YOUR WORTHLESS LEADERSHIP!” Luna raved up and down the main tent. “Luna......” With that utter of her name, a gust of dark wind flew into the tent and surged around Luna. Her eyes started to grow and she increased in size. Her dark blue coat was replace by pure black. The guards rushed to the tent, swords at the ready. Luna brought her hooves up, and with a mighty stomp she sent them flying.

“I’ll see you again, Tia. But first, there are some troublesome wolves I have to deal with...” and with a bone-chilling laugh she spun her mane into a vortex and vanished into dust. She was heading toward the fallen city.
