My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
The Light of Harmony
Chapter One
Paradise Lost
(1,500 Hundred years before the show's timeline)
If there was ever a place where Glaciem felt at peace, it was in this meadow. The cool night sky above him, the trees rustling gently as a breeze blew through their slowly changing leaves and eventually onto the light blue, almost white colt's fur, and into his blue and white mane. The only sign of civilization around was his home Castle of Cantoria and the town that resided in its walls surrounded by miles of forests.
Any sort of Peace was welcome in Glaciem's life as of late. His parents and friends seemed to work themselves up every day over some ponies and their leader named Avarice. "So, there you are..." a small female voice declared as a white filly about his age with a pink mane, and cutie mark of the sun appeared next to him in princess tiara, slippers, and harness. "What happened?" the filly asked.
"Well Tia, as fun as hearing our parents talk is, I figured watching grass grow would be more of a way to pass time." The two shared a laugh before they let the silence overtake the hilled area once again.
"Well that Boring talk was about something that is really bothering your parents, and if I'm not mistaken it worried you too did it not?" Celestia probed.
Ever since he was small, Glaciem acted like the tough guy, the stallion that nopony wanted to mess with. But lately, with the cyber pony alliance's threats becoming more and more evident, Glaciem has struggled to keep up his visage for fear of something bad happening to himself or his parents.
"Ha! don't make me laugh tia..." the young Alicorn stallion began, trying to sound unwavered, which eventually turned into a flash of pride if for anything to put his own mind at ease. "If anypony really took those rebel clowns seriously all of Cantoria would have been in an uproar, besides my parents were in the great stalladorian wars fifty years back so if an entire regiment of stalladorian soldiers can't take my parents down I really don't think he can either."
"Well, what about the companies that decided to join them?" Celestia asked confused.
" Greed... nothing more, nothing less. I doubt they could really care less about Avarice or whatever it is he has against my parents," Glaciem answered, his voice wavering.
"Glaciem...you're still worried about them, aren't you?" Celestia asked
Glaciem sighed, knowing that continuing the charade would have only wasted more time. "Well maybe a bit..." he finally conceded.
Amongst the wind came the loud voice of King Vectus of Equestria.
The alicorn teenager shot up immediately upon hearing her father's call. "Sorry Glaciem, but I have to go. Don't worry, I'm sure everything will work out." With that, Celestia spreads her wings and took off into the sky back to the town's main entrance gates.
Before Glaciem could go back to his stargazing, he heard yet another female voice calling him, this time from his mother in outside of the town walls. Glaciem spreads his wings and leapt into the night air. The flight was short and swift, but Glaciem didn't give it as much thought as he did the rebels.
"They aren't a threat right? no-pony sided with them so they can't be more than just a bad joke." Glaciem reasoned with himself, but an odd voice stood out in his head. But as he landed in front of the royally adorned light green alicorn mare those voices of warning faded to voices of increasing worry.
"Does something worry you son?" She would wonder why she asked such an obvious question when her son's face says nothing but concern, but by asking she hoped to at least make him want to talk about it.
