Utopia Chapter 1

>He was created at my expense, by an extension of my power.

>I brought him into this wretched existence, and he was my charge, my responsibility

>He showed promise

>his power, extraordinary. Courage, bountiful. Sympathy? Limitless.

>He was perfect. Not a single flaw.

>The day I showed him the world, he accepted it

>He knew what had to be done, and that he was the one to do it.

>This once peaceful land, ravaged by tides of war, the chaos of it unbearable

>But he is my savior, our savior

>He is our last hope

>Was, our last hope

>He still stood strong, fighting, tirelessly

>any forces advanced upon him, he decimated with ease

>He was perfect, not a single flaw

>He is perfect

>But I am weak

>Most powerful of my kind, but nothing to him

>I was powerless to stop him, even if I had tried

>But I couldn't, I could never harm him

>I was blinded by my love

>I knew he had to be stopped, but I wasn't the one to do it.

>I'm not perfect

>I don't know who can, if anyone can, stop him

>I'm sorry, I have failed you, I have failed you all

>I'm so sorry for causing this, for creating him, for being so weak

>Please do not blame each other, this was my doing, my fault

>This is my burden to bear alone, until my time ends

>I'm so ... sorry

>I'm .... sorry

>I ...m .....sor......

 

>Celestia's head lay in the hooves of Twilight Sparkle, Who looked at the princess with misty eyes

>Celestia's lips quivered, as if trying to speak, but there no sounds except her dullened breathes

>She had tried to fight it, but she was powerless to it's corrupted magic

>Only her head remained intact, for now

>The remainder of her body, encased in stone, motionless

>she was helpless to his attacks

>And she would die here, in the care of her student

 

>Twilight's eyes glistened, her tears streaking down her cheeks

>She only had herself to blame

>She wasn't strong enough

>Her friends, ..... her friends were just the same as her, weak.

>They had stood their ground, the power of the Elements protecting them from Discords' chaotic magic

>They overcame each others differences and faults, with their friendship alone

>The power of the Elements embodied them, casting a most powerful of spells, pushing back Discord's new world

>But something was wrong

>the elements' power waned, it wasn't enough

>Discord pushed back, overcoming the p0nies attempt

>As the elements glow faded, Discord's laughter rang throughout the skies

>Until a familiar snap, at which the elements faded to a dull grey, powerless

>Rampant cackling taunted the p0nies' ears

>They had failed, the elements failed

>She failed

 

 

>Twilight looked into the fading eyes of the princess, and smiled through her tears

"Princess, I don't know if you can hear me, but, do you remember all those years ago when you told me that I'll always be your very best of friends?"

>The purple unicorn tried to laugh, but could only choke back her sobs

"I know that someday, We'll see each other again, on better terms."

>She was nearing the princesses face, holding her in a loose half-hearted hug

"And I hope then, .... you might be able to forgive me"

>The stone crept up clestia's head, slowly, deafening

>Her eyes were motionless, locked into place by the form they were taking

"Princess, I'm so sorry, .... but we need your help...."

>She looked as if she may burst out crying,

"Even if you aren't here ... to help us!"

>Closing her eyes, Twilight pushed down on Celestia's horn

"I'm so sorry..."

>With a final shove, the horn broke from celestia's head, the soft glow if it's magic dissapating, as the remaining portion of Celestia's head was quickly engulfed by the stone

>Leaving the princess wide eyed, mouth ajar, cold, on the ground

>Twilight, sat alone in the ruins of Canterlot, the silence piercing her ears, tormenting her

"I'm sorry princess,....... I .... I love you ...."

>With her final words, Twilight takes Celestia's horn in mouth, and makes her way out of the crumbling hall

 

 

>It had been 14 years since Discord triumphed over the elements

>So much had changed, Equestria was the first of the lands to fall to his wrath

>Soon after, the Gryphon Kingdom, the Pride Savannah, even the scorched badlands of the Dragons' Peak fell to his wicked rule

>The world was lost, what he called, 'chaos eternal'

>All was forsaken

>But there was hope

>Celestia had gathered the fallen elements, and with her magic, gave them life

>She had assembled the greatest and most powerful unicorns in the land to help with her task

>Their raw magic power, shaped and combined by Celestia's to bring him into being

>Celestia had given him the spark of life, from her own, weakening herself severely

>But that did not matter, he was perfect, he would protect all

>He batlled Discords' magic, and detroyed it with such ease

>He too kit upon himself to save the world from this evil

>But something wasn't right, upon his return, the world was still a disaster, if not worse

>Nothing had changed

>Nothing, except him

>He spoke of how the world was perfect, how everthying was as it should be, he was wrong

>He turned against us, allowed the chaos to spread, helped it spread

>Celestia ordered his capture, but we stood no chance against him, he was perfect, after all

>Equestria, the world, was at it's end

 

 

>Twilight made her way through the dense forest, doing her best to avoid traps, pitfalls, trigger switches

>After a few years of his tyranny, Discord tired of the same old tricks

>He devised more elaborate, invasion tricks

>His simple harmless fun, quickly became hazardous to anyone unlucky enough to be caught in them, ... like Pinkie ....

>But he didn't care, it was his fun

>but that was long ago

>since then, no one has heard or seen Discord for nearly 4 years

>It's said that he just grew bored and left to find a new world to corrupt

>It doesn't matter, the world is gone, whether or not he's in it

>There's no point in trying to save it now.

>All that mattered was him, the one created to save everyone

>The one who betrayed us

>He had to be destroyed, at least then everyone could succumb to the corruption in peace.

 

>Twilight found her way to the enormous hole in the ground, large black stone tablets with strange writing lay around it, broken

>The entrance to the Tartarus

>Twilight carefully made her way down the spiraling slopes

>Even this cursed place wasn't from his reach

>He had breached the Tartarus long ago, brought chaos upon it too

>Some say it's now better than Equestria, but anyone who ventured there, hasn't come back

>Whether because it is better, and they just don't want to return to this husk of a home, or .....

>They just didn't come back.

>Except him. Of course he came back.

>Of course.......

 

>Twilight came upon the ragged boulder that hid the shelter

>With her magic she carefully moved the boulder enough to slip in, then qietly replace it

>She proceded the walk down the maze of tunnels

>Right, right, left, right, straight, left, straight, right, left, left.

>along her way, she passed the familiar sights, the corpses of the ones lost along their way

>Most unknown to her, but a few, Lyra, Roseluck, ....... Flutter- ....

>She turned away, she can't look, not anymore, she can't cry for them, again.

>Keeping her eyes to the floor, she continued until reaching her destination.

>A wall

>Just part of the endless tunnel, with her magic, she phased through the rock, layers and layers of stone

>Until she finally came to the small room with various scratches all over the walls, not a place for happy memories

>Leaving the room behind, she traveled down the small tunnel to a larger clearing

>Her utopia

>Grassy fields strecthced over acre, until meeting the far wall of rock

>Various fruits in the orchards that massed about 2/3 of the clearing, multiple underground streams made their way across the field

>A large sun like ball of light rested in the cavernous air, amidst the clouds, lingering about the wilting blue sky

>Twilight's horn glowed as the blue sky seemed to reform to the cave ceiling, returning to it's lush blue allure

>Home
