Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - The Eldritch Horror From Another World

Load Full Story Next Chapter

It’s a beautiful night in Canterlot, the capitol of Equestria. The Main Six along with their friends and loved ones help put on a concert performed by Songbird Serenade, a talented singing pony, in celebration of The Storm King’s defeat. Originally, Princess Twilight Sparkle had planned for this to be The Festival Of Friendship’s main attraction which sadly was interrupted by the arrival of The Storm King’s army lead by Tempest Shadow.

Many ponies gather around a stage as a young purple and green dragon wearing shades stands before the crowd holding a mic: Spike, The Brave and Glorious.

[Mic noise]

“Ladies and Gentlecolts!”, Spike says as he then spins around in place and slides across the stage similar to what a guitarist would do in a typical concert. “Get ready for a little... Songbird Serenade!”

An applaud in the form of stomping hooves erupts as Songbird Serenade takes the stage, Spike removes himself to join Twilight and the rest of The Main Six who were also accompanied by Starlight Glimmer and Zecora in the crowd as Songbird begins her latest song, “Rainbow”. Twilight sees her adoptive son-dragon approaching and welcomes him with a warm smile.

“Spike!, thank you so much for kicking things off I really appreciate it!”, Twilight exclaims. The Alicorn princess was forced to shout as the crowd around them nearly drowned out her words.

“No problem Twi. Besides, what’s more awesome then having Spike The Brave And Glorious on stage huh?.” Spike says confidently with a beaming smile. His statement causes the rest of The Main Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Zecora to reply.

“You can say that again, you’re almost as awesome as me.” - Rainbow dash.

“Oh yes indeed spike.” - Fluttershy.

“This concert is already quite the sight, it’s made better thanks to young Spike.” - Zecora.

“You looked fabulous Spikey Wikey, you certainly work those shades I gave you.” - Rarity.

“Best. Intro. Ever!” - Pinkie Pie

“You were amazing partner.” - Applejack.

“That was remarkable, perhaps I should hire you for the next convention at Our Town.” - Starlight Glimmer.

The group erupts into laughter as they continue to enjoy Songbird’s song.


After some short time Songbird Serenade’s song nears its climax as all the ponies and creatures in the audience listen contently along with shouting various cheers. Twilight continues to mingle with her friends when she suddenly notices Tempest Shadow keeping her distance from the crowd with a saddened expression. Upon seeing this the lavender alicorn takes to the sky, momentarily leaving her friends, and flies over to the former storm kings second in command. Tempest hears Twilight land behind her which prompts her to speak.

“That’s one thing that never changes around here, the parties...”, Tempest says with a saddened tone filled with some regret.

“Well, I hope you’ll stay. More friends are definitely merrier.”, Twilight replies enthusiastically.

“But um... My horn...”, Tempest says sadly before she sighs as if she were just defeated. The broken unicorn opens her mouth and was about to speak before twilight cuts her off.

“Actually, about that Tempest. I’ve got a surprise for you.”, Twilight says with a beaming smile. “I want you to know that I will always call you a friend even with your broken horn. However, I can understand if it makes you feel incomplete so...”, As if on cue, three more Alicorn Princesses land next to twilight. The Princess of The Sun and Day: Celestia, The Princess Of The Moon and Night: Luna, and The current ruler of The Crystal Empire as well as the Princess Of Love: Cadence. Twilight looks to Celestia and gives her a nod, the sun princess then steps forward and looks to a very surprised Tempest with a motherly smile.

“My dear Tempest, Twilight has informed us of your plight and we’d like to help you. As my former faithful student has said, I too understand that a unicorn with a broken horn can feel incomplete. It’d be no different than, say, a Pegasus with a missing wing.", Celestia momentarily had a saddened expression which quickly turns back into her motherly smile that she was well known for. The Sun Princess then looks to Luna and gives her sister a nod, The Moon Princess walks forward and stands by her sister's side.

“We hath decided that we shall restore thy broken horn, thou shall become whole once more, Tempest Shadow.”, Luna says with authority. The Night Princess’s words practically shot Tempest right through her heart, the broken unicorn imitates a goldfish as her mouth opens and closes in her utter shock.

“W-what?!, but why?... After everything I’ve done, after the way I turned you all into stone and nearly destroyed Equestria, how could you all forgive me?.”, Tempest exclaims as she was absolutely thrown off from their gesture. How could they forgive her after everything she’s done and even offer to restore her horn just like that?, that was all the former storm kings commander could think of as Cadence and Twilight also walk forward to stand beside Luna and Celestia. Cadence takes the initiative and replies to Tempest.

“We forgive you Tempest. You were lost, alone, and broken in more ways then one however we can still see the good pony that lies within you. The very same pony we see standing before us now.”, Cadence then turns her head to Twilight as a smile forms on her muzzle before she looks back to Tempest and continues. “Personally, I forgave you the moment you sacrificed your life to save my dear sister in law.”, The Princess Of Love then nuzzles Twilight who then returns the gesture, Celestia and Luna also nod their heads with a content smile. Twilight then approaches Tempest as the broken unicorn nearly had tears forming in her eyes.

“Well Tempest, what do you say?.”, Twilight questions as she then lifts her left front hoof towards Tempest. “If you accept our offer we-”, Twilight was suddenly cut off as Tempest embraces her in a hug. The once unbreakable unicorn mare, aside from her horn, was now sobbing with a river of tears going down both of her cheeks.

“I c-can’t thank you e-enough Twilight, I [sniff] I owe y-you my life.”, Tempest sobs as she tried her best to speak clearly. Twilight simply embraced her former foe and allowed her to release all of the sadness she had built up within her. Celestia, Luna, and Cadence watch on with warm smiles however, suddenly, Luna lets out a painful:

GAUGH!”, A small bit of Luna’s Canterlot Voice leaked into her painful exclamation as she falls to the floor in agony, her shout of pain gets the attention of some nearby ponies which included the rest of Twilights friends. Luna brings her two front hooves up to her head in some attempt to ease her pain.

“Sister!”, Celestia shouts as her once low yet motherly tone faded the moment her beloved sister collapsed, she along with her fellow alicorns and a recovered Tempest ran to Luna’s aide. They all inquire her about her well being ranging from ‘if she needed to return to her chambers’ to ‘quick, cast a healing spell or something.’, Suddenly, Luna’s head looks up to her beloved moon with tears in her eyes almost as if it were a parent looking towards their injured child.

”My moon!... Oh my beloved moon, w-what has harmed you?!”

Luna pleads with a motherly yet pained tone towards the celestial object, her Canterlot Voice in full force. The concert and celebration stops instantly as dead silence takes over. Every pony and creature in attendance looks upon the moon to discover a horrifying scene, the moon itself was beginning to form what looked like a wormhole mixed with a portal. Even more disturbing was the unknown being that was coming through the portal which sent shivers down every creatures spine, those in Canterlot weren’t the only ones to see this unnatural phenomenon however as all of Equestria, probably even all of Equus, witnessed the event. The being who now blocked out the moon and very nearly the whole midnight sky looked down upon the world before him. The entity spoke with a voice that nearly shook the entire planet, literally, and possessed a voice that would strike fear into every creature within the depths of Tartarus.

”AS YOU GAZE TO THE MIDNIGHT SKY.
MY NEW SERVANTS, OBEY OR DIE.
THE LORD OF THE MOON APPEARS BEFORE THEE.
ALL WILL BOW TO THE GREAT, RAZEEM.”
