The God of Evil is Born

In the Royal Palace of Canterlot the cries of pain could be heard from every corner as the princess was giving birth to her first foal. The royal guards all flinched as they couldn't do anything to help their princess with the pain that was coursing through her body. Princess Celestia felt foolish for messing around with that pegasus, now she was in the worst pain of her teenaged body had ever felt. She wished she could go back in time and stop this from happening.

The midwife pony nodded reassuringly to Princess Celestia. "That's good princess now keep breathing your almost done." The earth pony smiled and let the princess grip her hoof. It took thirty six hours of labor for the princess to give birth to a fine and strapping colt. His coat was blacker than the darkest of nights and his mane and tail had the golden warmth of a perfectly beautiful sunset. Princess Celestia regretted her thought of stopping this, because if she had she would have lost her beautiful son. The new born colt started to cry with pure energy "Oh now, now little Sunrise, yes that's your name my precious Sunrise Eclipse." Celestia snuggled around her newborn son and cooed out trying to soothe her energetic boy.

Celestia brought her only son to her chest and smiled with pure affection "I may have been foolish to do what I did but you were worth the foolishness" She kissed her Sunrise Eclipse's head snuggling his horn against her muzzle and held his small alicorn body to hers with pure motherly love. Sunrise giggled his little laugh as Celestia tickled him with her nose. "Aw you're so adorable"

"Well, well look at this my strict big sister going all gooey over her son, that is a sight I didn't expect" Princess Luna, in all her midnight blue splendor, smiled and trotted over "Mind if I get a good look at my nephew" She asked and peeked in the folds of her sisters wings and sighed with affection at seeing the beautiful foal.

"Oh sister he is so cute, aw just as sweet as can be" Luna moved back as her older sister turned over in her bed and the black foal stood out completely against his mother's white coat. Luna laughed slightly as Sunrise bit down on his mother's fetlock causing Celestia to jump in surprise knocking her little boy off the bed.

Both royal alicorn couldn't predict what had happened next, as the baby Sunrise hit the floor he cried out with the strongest cry anypony had ever heard. His horn glowed with a strange aura that shifted between a golden light and a pitch black aura. As he cried in pain the light that filtered through the window was dimmed and soon no light was in the room anymore as if all the light was sucked away into a void but that was only the beginning of the strangeness as Sunrise began to glow in a golden light that soon sped outward temporally blinding both Luna and Celestia.

"Oh my, what was that" Luna shook her head as the stars in her eyes began to clear to see a still crying Sunrise floating in a bubble of magic near the ceiling of the bed chamber. She looked over to her sister and saw that Celestia was still dazed "Its alright little Sunrise come on down" She tried to sooth her nephew with calm words but her voice reached only deaf ears.

Celestia began to stir hearing her baby crying snapped her out of her small state of shock. She stood quickly and spotted her little Sunrise in a magic bubble "Oh its alright little one I am here now, hush let those tears go away" She flew up to her son and with very little resistance broke through the bubble and surrounded her baby boy in her wings. She began to hum a lullaby to sooth her scared son and soon she was singing full out with the voice of an angel.

Luna watched as her sister turned from the normal air of royalty to the air of a loving mother with only one thought in her mind, the safety of her son. Luna had never seen this side of Celestia and was shocked as she watched as Celestia landed on the bed and brought the blanket up to Sunrise and wrapped the baby up in the coziest bundle ever. "There, there my little Sunrise, everything is fine just fine, now why don't you sleep for a while" She laid the now sound asleep foal down on her bed and looked at her sister "Lets go somewhere else to discuss what just happened so we don't wake him."

Celestia led her little sister into the library and soon had the discussion going. "He absorbed all of the light in the room sister, how can that not be seen as evil" Luna said first to get her thoughts clear "No! Luna I will not have anypony call my son evil, he isn't" Celestia tried her best to sound absolute but there was a twinge of doubt in her voice "Celestia if he can absorb all of the light in Equestria he could throw the kingdom into eternal chaos, we have to…" Luna was about to say when Celestia glared at her sister "Never, I will never do that, he isn't evil Luna he is just a umm a" Celestia had so much doubt in her that she couldn't even defend her son from Luna's insistence he was evil.

While the two princesses argued in a chamber away from Celestia's private chambers, inside them the newborn Sunrise slept peacefully in his mother's bed, though he was thought to be alone he wasn't as a dark and sinister shadow looked down on the young alicorn. "So this fragile thing is meant to be my master, I doubt it, he doesn't look like he has a single evil bone in his body" The shadow smirked as the foal before him snored peacefully "But I should know looks can be deceiving, till your true colors show my lord, to think a son of Celestia would grow up to be the lord of all Evil, hmm but still I have this feeling of dread as if I have made a fatal mistake." With nothing else to say the shadow turned to leave but it was a moment to late as the door opened to let in Princess Celestia and her sister.

"You, what are you, get away from my son Darainao, your evil will not taint his mind" Celestia looked at her sister and they both nodded as they channeled their power into a single beam of magic using the power of the elements of harmony. The shadow screamed as it was ripped apart, but what they did not see was little Sunrise awake and terrified but unlike the first time he had a strange glow about him as six very dark orbs appeared around him and faded away. Only the young foal saw the orbs each darker than the last. He had tried to grasp them but could not get them.

With a gasp Sunrise Eclipse woke in a drenched sweat. He had been having the same nightmare for the past six weeks but he didn't tell his mother Celestia. His nightmare was more of an extremely early memory that he had repressed. This day was important it was his move from the child prince to a fully grown Prince of Equestria, he dreaded this day because he still had yet to earn his cutie mark and he knew what many ponies were thinking, would he be a black flank forever. "Huh now I must get this over with before I go insane, hmm what is that buzzing"

"Your highness, Prince Sunrise Eclipse, Your mother, Princess Celestia, requests your appearance at today's audiences" A royal guard poked his head into Sunrise's private quarters and nodded to his prince. Sunrise sighed and stood from his bed "I'll be right out if I am to be present at the audiences then I must be presentable, thirty minutes is all I ask Spitshin" He looked over as the door closed. He didn't mind being at the public relations events but he was well awkward at the best of times.

He walked over to his vanity where a necklace with the royal regalia of the thrown of the sun hung. He slipped it on and looked at his mess of a mane, and how blood shot his eyes were "Huh I am so tired of this recurring dream what is that shadow creature and why does it keep calling me its master, and those orbs of darkness what are they" He sighed at the dead end he had hit with his own questions. He looked like a pure mess and he just had to laugh at his image. He used his magic to straighten his mane and he blinked a few times to help reduce the blood shotness of his eyes. He was finished in thirty minutes and was out where Spitshin was, Sunrise had to wonder why the pegasus was named Spitshin when he was a very talented warrior not a cleaner.

Sunrise decided to take the long route and as he walked out into the gardens many heads turned towards him. Every mare wanted him not for his true self but for his title or so he thought. He spotted his aunt, Luna among the ponies in the gardens but she was momentarily detained by her newest crush a big and strapping unicorn that was the commander of the royal guards, Sunrise couldn't stand that stallion, he believed his aunt Luna deserved much better.

He turned and nearly ran into the changeling queen here to beg forgiveness for her predecessor's villainy. She looked thin way too thin to be healthy. "Oh beg your pardon Madame, I should have been watching where I was going" A collective gasp was heard, no pony had ever seen a royal alicorn apologize to a pony lower in rank before. He sighed and gave his best diplomatic smile, he was use to ponies treating him differently because of his rank.

He loved his mother but sometimes he wished he wasn't a royal at all, and then maybe somepony would love him for who he was not what he was besides his mother and aunt. He bowed his head respectfully before he felt a boney hoof touch his shoulder. "It is fine my lord Sunrise Eclipse, it was my fault completely." The Changeling Queen smiled weakly "After all I was in a rush to meet your mother and ask for forgiveness and to beg her to lift the curse she and her sister placed on us"

Something clicked in Sunrise's head; his mother had cursed an innocent pony for something her great grandmother had done. His mind went blank as he couldn't picture his kind and sweet mother doing something like that "Do not worry I will talk with my mother about it" The Changeling Queen smiled and nodded with happiness. "Thank you my lord" She said and bowed her head. Sunrise placed his hoof under the mare's chin and lifted her head "Now enough of this my lord or calling me by my title, we are both of royal blood we are equals, so call me Sunrise." He smiled and kissed her cheek.

Another gasp came from the watching crowd as Sunrise left a stunned and blushing Changeling Queen with a hoof pressed to her cheek. She smiled as an emotion she had never felt before hit her heart, love, but she wasn't the only one who had an emotion in their heart they had never felt before. Princess Luna had a look of worry on her face as she watched the blushing Changeling Queen, she feared the Queen was going to use her sister's precious son for her own needs.

"I have to warn Celestia, she will be madder than ever" Luna looked back and decided it was in her nephew's best interests if she stopped whatever was going to happen from happening, but she was blinded by her emotion of pure fear and could not see the consequences of her decision. She didn't know what was in Sunrise's mind, and he remembered well the last sight, not a pure happy face but a shocked and awed face of someone who was the same rank as him. He had unwittingly made himself fall for the Changeling Queen.

End

Author's Note: Well that was a long dream now wasn't it, sorry for leading you on for that long, Sunrise has reached his Stallion days he is no longer a colt but he has yet to find himself. I hoped you enjoyed this one its one that is close to my heart because it is a story I am very familiar with. Remember to review the chapter and one last thing, the story set in a time way before the main six were even a thought, this is all about Sunrise's past before his scandalous title is given to him.

Till next time ponies
