The Guardian

An orb

The crystal was in the middle of the town. Celestia was trying to calm eveypony down and to go back to their homes. The Guardian inched closer to the crystal, hoping It could absorb It and be over with this. As It got closer the crystal warped and cracked. It started to create very thin spikes that hovered of the ground. One pony noticed It happening right as It finished. The crytal had reshaped into a tiny ball hovering off the ground with many spikes circling. It. The pony asked what it wasdoing now and Celestia turned around. Just as the spikes launched at the Guardian.

The first spike embeded itself into Its right fore hoof. The second landed in its left locking it into the ground. The rest were a blur as it landed into its body, black liquid splattering everywhere. The darkness rushed to meet It.

...

It appeared in a all white room of infinite length, width, and heighth. Where am I, It thought.

" We're in a critical state and dying, so I took over your body," said the voice distractedly.

But I went unconsious.

"No, you thought that because of the blood loss."

Are we okay?

"Yes I moved you to a safe place, I'm giving you control now. But be aware that you are going to be in alot of pain."

And then It woke up. It felt as if parts of its body were missing. Then again. they were. It opened its eyes and saw that it was inside a building. It got up and looked outside. It saw the ball shooting at something but It couldn't see what. Then in a second a blinding light burnt the orb away. It looked for whatever caused it but couldn't find It. It went back to the castle to try and find the princesses. Luna was still in bed but Celestia was no where to be found. Fearing the worst It left for the hospital.

...

Celesta was resting on a medical bed with her back left leg stuck in a sling. But that didn't matter, she had protected her citizens from that terrifying creature. She wondered if her guardian was okay, it had taken quite the beating. But when It walked into her medical room she wa relived. "I thought you died," she said.

"We're fine, but we failed to protect you," said the voice sadly. "You're hurt and It is all our fault."

"I'll be fine with a little rest, besides, now I get to make Luna do my work again," she said with a laugh. Next Chapter: Surprise Meeting Estimated time remaining: 11 Minutes
