End Of A Long War
Chapter 1
Princess Celestia was sitting down on her throne chair she then felt Discord shall return but she was meet with a few problems one is that she knew the elements would not be powerful enough to break through Discord shield which then got her thinking about her kinds past most of it was all good but there was only one dark side was a war that still goes on.
This war is between the alicorns and the very first ruler of Equestria but Equestria wasn't a kingdom it was a vast grand empire the first rulers were a different type of ponies more powerful than an alicorn they are the shadow ponies they believed on journey a path which they follow on to their promise land even though they are immortal they were well beloved by the citizens of Equestria as they had always put their life on the line before the citizens protecting them at all cost they ruled Equestria with love, peace and harmony they had set up a government with only their own kind which had take a role in leading Equestria their army was made from just their own kind Shadow Ponies there wasn't a single Equestrian citizen in the army.
When the alicorns risen to become noticed by the shadow ponies as they had offered them a place with in their government the alicorns back down refused their offer but they wanted to take Equestria over so that they ruled it so war was brought to the empire the war last for years until the final push to defeating the Shadow Ponies only one last Shadow Pony stays alive she was locked up in a coffin and to sleep for the rest of her immortal days Celestia walked to a painting and pushed the painting to the side seeing a golden key she then taken it opening a portal and walking through it.
…
When Celestia came through the other end she saw a door made out of rocks as she slowly pushed them away she then came to a coffin with chains wrapped around it and writing on it "Here lies the last of the first ruler the Shadow Ponies" as she placed the key in the lock as the click noise was sound and the chain came clean off.
As the coffin opened up to an all armoured tall pony with no wings and no horn but the same hight as herself the helmet had covered the pony face completely Celestia was getting near she then felt her throat was being grabbed by some magic force as she then saw the armoured pony moving "Why have you come here enemy of my kind" the pony spoken in a female voice.
Celestia used a magic push to get the pony to lose her magic grip on her as it work she coughed for air while trying to speak "I came here …to ask for your help" she said focusing on the pony.
"Why would I help you enemy" the female said getting up off the ground.
"Not for me but for your empire the civilians" Celestia said pulling back to a wall as the pony got close to her with a sword drawn out.
As the pony stopped facing her "They do not remember of my kind" she said to her.
"I know but think about it what has your kind always believed in protecting the innocent of the empire Discord your kind one true enemy will harm them all" Celestia said hoping her history of the Shadow Ponies were right.
"They were wiped out by us many years ago I is impossible for one to survive our fight" she said to her still holding the sword to her.
"Yes but one survived your war his name is Discord so will you help protect your kind once empire" Celestia said seeing her slowly lowering the sword down.
"You have my sword but if this isn't true I shall fight you" she said sitting down on the ground "I know where you are and I shall return in the morning but remember not true then fight I shall have with you" she said looking at the entrance of the room.
"Thank you" Celestia said leaving her alone.
"Our once mighty empire gone mm what should I do shadow goddess give me the strength to see sense in here" she said laying down on the ground.
…
The next morning Celestia watch as the girls went of to the maze just then she heard some one behind her as she turned to see it was the armoured pony "Thank you" she was about to get near her.
As the pony stopped her "I don't take kindness or a hug from my kind enemy I see my kind palace is still standing" she said looking around the room.
"Yes it still has many secretes that I don't know about" Celestia said to her.
"Of course you won't your not a Shadow Pony only us see the true walls of the buildings we had made each building to horner a shadow god for our journey to the promise land I shall fight Discord in the back gardens" the pony pointed to the gardens at the back of the palace.
"Wait what your name" Celestia said to her.
"I gave up my real name to the Shadow goddess when I had take the shadow path but I go by the name Shadow Lust" she said then going off to the back of the palace.
…
When she was standing there just as Discord arrived "Ah I see I have a long term enemy one from the old days" he said smiling to her.
"I have no time for your kind game tell me how did you survive the war that we wipe all of you out" she said to him as they both bowed their head to each other in respect.
"Well simple I went silence hiding out of sight tell me how is your war going on with the alicorns" Discord said flying around her.
"That is privet Discord I will give you only one little chance to surrender now or I shall be force to take you down" she said pulling out her sword.
"I am sorry but I have no intention to surrender now I am having too much fun" he said smiling with a laughter.
"Then I have no choice to take you down" she said as they both charge towards each other with a fist and a hoof raised in the air while her sword was being held by her tail.
When they both meet knocking each other back as they then punched and kicked into each other causing them both to scream out in pain as Discord take to sky just then Shadow Lust had taken to the sky.
As her sword swing to Discord hitting his shield as they both stead in that position for a while as a ball of fire was being made just then an explosion had just gone off.
As they both stumbled to the ground Discord got up not realising his shield was gone "Well I must say I wish I stay but I have to go now" he said with a snap of his fingerers he was gone.
Shadow Lust didn't gone after him except she only walked back to the palace placing her sword back in it pouch.
…
Celestia was glad that Discord was defeated she had laid on a celebration but just then she gasp as Twilight and her friends were concerned as she rushed off with them following behind her.
When Shadow Lust saw that Discord was now gone she was happy that the innocent were protect she was alone in a room with a balcony as she walked slowly towards the balcony only hearing the the crowed cheering and having fun "My kind my shadow goddess I have failed you for aiding our enemy I know that is the most hated crime in our kinds" she said slowly walking as her sword was undone as it dropped to the marble floor bouncing on it "I know what I must do" she said slowly taking off her armour as it revealed her body colour is black as it with no cutie mark as the armour slowly slides off her and dropped to the floor with a bang "We have always lived in these mask as it filters air to our body for Equestria air would kill us" she said slowly giving her helmet a twist as a hissing noise was heard and she taken it off as it revealed her mane is a light yellow and she let it dropped to the floor as she was now on the balcony she sat down with her knees crossed and she pulled a small blade out "I know I must do this forgive me my kind for this fail" she brought the blade up in air aiming it at her chest and closing her eyes taking a look at the slowly sun set.
Celestia then bashed the door down and saw her as she ran to her jumping in mid air stopping her by pulling the blade off her "What were you doing".
"I have failed my kind" she said to her facing her with an angry look on her face as she grabbed her helmet and placed it on.
"What" Celestia said confused.
"My kind has always said that they would rather die than surrender that includes helping our enemies out so because of this event I have ended the war in favour of the alicorns but means I have to kill myself to ask forgiveness so that I may enter the promise land it one of the many harsh rules in the Shadow Paths" She said to her with sadness in her.
Just then Twilight and her friends all came rushing in "Who is this" Rainbow Dash said.
Celestia sigh "Okay listen you all keep it in this room what you see is the very first rulers of Equestria back then though it wasn't a kingdom it was a vast grand empire under her kind rule were they ruled it with peace and harmony they didn't have kings, queens, princes or even princess they ruled it with a government build to over see the fair share through out the empire" Celestia said to them.
"But I never read this" Twilight said confused on this.
"Of course you won't you see I am a shadow pony my kind follow a strict life and we travel the shadow path to our promise land but years passed with peace then the alicorns came into the scene we offered them a spot in the government but they turned it down they then said they want to rule the land for them self so we were ready to fight for the citizens of the empire our army wasn't made by the citizens it only employed Shadow Ponies we were a few lest than three thousand but we were far more powerful we can do magic without a horn, we can fly without wing be strong as an earth pony so you see" she said to them all.
"What happen then" Applejack said.
"War was called the alicorns fought the Shadow Ponies for years until the final push ended them only she is the last which mean the war is still one as long she is still alive" Celestia said to them as they all felt sad for both of them.
"I think we have a party to get to girls come" she said to Twilight and her friends as they all walked away as she stopped to face Shadow Lust "are you coming" Celestia said to her.
"No I like a few hours alone I like this room it adds loneness to me I will claim this room as mine but know this Celestia I will try to kill you or myself in hope either I win our war or I hope to be forgive by my own kind to enter the promise land " she said as Celestia left her alone as she place the rest of her armour back one "shadow goddess forgive me please I am sorry I should have killed her or myself" she said looking out to the city "Our once beautiful empire is now gone out of their knowledge it makes me wonder if I would ever fit in to this new land for it isn't our now" as she looked up to the night sky with the stars above "good night shadow ponies" as she laid down her head on the hard marble floor going to sleep.
