Chapter 1- fall of an empire
Warning: all of the characters belong to Hasbro, the story is mine though.
The characters are humanoid in this: humans with horns and wings, the cutie mark is on the side of their abdomens so their shirts don't go all the way down, unless they're in winter clothes.
'We lost'
Those words were all I could think about.
After I got trapped on the tower I told spike to take the heart down to Cadence and Shining Armor, but he didn't make it there in time. At least that's what must have happened, the crystals imprisoning me kept growing, blocking out what was happening around me.
I did know we lost though, how do I know that?
I know it because when my cage retreated back into the ground it wasn't my friends and family who was out there waiting, it was King Sombra, he was grinning wildly at me but I didn't notice, I was too horrified by the fact that the crystal heart was levitating in his open palm.
"You lost little girl," he taunted, "we're going to have so much fun," He said.
I was about to teleport away when everything went black, the last thing I heard was his dark laugh.
I woke up a while ago, now I'm sitting on the cold stone floor of a small, cold cell. I tried standing up to look around, but the chain around my neck will only let me go so far, I also tried using magic but, like shining armor, there seems to be anti-magic crystals growing out of my horn preventing me from doing so.
So now I'm sitting here, facing the cell doors while pulling my violet winter dress as close to my body as I can, waiting for my tormentor to come finish me off.
I hear footsteps, strong footsteps, getting closer and closer until I can see a small purple glow nearing from my left, King Sombra. He leans against the bars of the cell, grinning like a predator that finally caught its prey. The light was coming from a small purple and green orb that was floating just beside him.
He looked me with calculating yet curious eyes as if he was trying to figure me out, it unnerved me to no end.
"So you're Celestia's precious pupil," he said in a deep, velvety voice, "I have to say, I'm not disappointed."
I stood up, refusing to be intimidated, and asked "what do you want?" with as much hate as I could manage.
It did not have the desired effect, he seemed to like that actually.
"My my, such hatred for such a small girl, I like it," he said, "what's your name?" he asked suddenly.
"Twilight Sparkle," I answered, seeing no reason why he shouldn't know.
"Hm, Twilight," he said, I did not like the way it rolled off his tongue.
"Do you know why you're here?" he asked.
"No."
"You're here because you ….. Interest me."
"Interest?" I ask, very confused.
"Very few people can get past my 'special' security system besides myself, all of them being alicorns, I was expecting Celestia or Luna to show up but instead I get a young unicorn and a baby dragon. I have to say I was very offended by it, but was also pleasantly surprised when I felt my vault being accessed by you."
"So?"
"*dark chuckle* oh this is interesting, you don't seem to understand just what you put yourself through, how exciting!"
"What do you mean?" I was very confused now.
"Dark magic, there's a reason why everyone that has tried has failed, it's not because they can't use it, it's because only an alicorn can fight off its corrupting essence. When you used it, you exposed your mind and heart to be corrupted by its power, many unicorns have joined my side that way, but you used it twice and you're still as pure as you've ever been."
"w-what?"
"I'm no ignorant either, I know you're the element of magic and you're little friends the rest of the elements of harmony, but still something inside you should have changed, there's more to you than meets the eye and I intend to find out what it is."
"w-what are you going to do?"
Then as if her were made of mere smoke, Sombra phased through the bars walking towards me, separated by bars I could handle, this? Not so much.
I backed as far as I could until I was pressed thin against the wall, but before I could move to the side Sombra slammed his hands at both sides of my head. I was trapped, staring into his cold red eyes.
He leaned in slowly until his lips were right beside my ear, I could feel his breath as he whispered.
"I'm going to brake you, and afterwards your heart, mind and body will be mine."
Anger and disgust came immediately, I shoved him as hard as I could, and I'm guessing he didn't see it coming because he stumbled away from me.
"I will never be yours! Celestia will come for me!" I yelled.
His face of surprise quickly changed to one of annoyance and then to one of amusement, he then started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" I growled.
He calmed down and said grinning, "Sweet little twilight, no one is coming for you, ever."
"And how can you be so sure of that exactly?" I asked, though it was more like a challenge.
"Because, they'll be a little too busy attending the funeral," he said.
I started to worry then, "funeral? Whose funeral?" I asked.
"Why, yours of course," he said with that chilling grin.
"w-what? I'm not dead," I said.
"True, but they don't know that."
Realization hit me like a ton of bricks, "what- what did you tell them?"
"Absolutely nothing, they will just arrive at the location where the crystal empire used to be and find the body of a crystal girl, though I may have casted a small illusion spell on her, no one will see the little girl they will only see you twilight."
I couldn't believe it, not only did Sombra kill an innocent girl but he enchanted her to look like her? I thought he only enslaved people, not that he was a killer. I realized something.
I asked, "You said where the crystal empire used to be, what do you mean by that?"
Sombra had stayed exactly where he was, just watching me, "I couldn't afford Celestia raining on my parade just yet so I moved it far, far north, not even the Yaks would dare come near here, we're currently at the eye of the enchanted blizzard that permanently resides here. The crystal heart is the only thing that can protect anyone from it, without it they would all freeze to death."
I could hear what he was trying to say loud and clear, no one can come near us and no one can leave or they will die. I'm trapped.
"I'll leave you to your thoughts, but I'll be back tomorrow for our first … session. But it may be avoided if you join me willingly," he said.
"Never!" I spat.
"Have it your way!" he said and disappeared in a flash of green.
I couldn't take it anymore I started crying, crying for that poor girl and her family and for me and all of my friends and family.
They might never figure out it isn't me, they might never come for me.
"Please!" I cried, "I'm right here!"
I am so depressed right now, I'm pretty sure I cried while writing this. Tell me how you like it and don't worry, the torture will only be psychological, like the spell from the nightmare door, and I will skip most of it, ok all of it.
Next chapter will show everyone else.
Here's a clue for the next chapter, spike isn't with the rest.
