The battle raged for almost a century now, neither sides seemed to lose ground. From one side the mighty Dragoons stood there, each one was almost like an impassable fortress of power, might and sheer force. On the other side the endless legion of Shadows kept coming even if they were killed by the thousands by each blast of one Dragoon.
They wouldn´t flatter, they wouldn't stop, they kept coming...

Their world, that steamed life from every corner, was dying and becoming more and more like a barren wasteland. The Shadows used every inch of resources available to their war, not caring if afterwards they left a dead planet. They didn't know nor they care if by killing the planet they would eventually win the war, it was their nature to consume all.

But what did they want? What was their goal? Why they just killed everything in their path not caring if it was a threat or not... if they could be defined by one word they represented death itself. Emotionless, void of soul, mindless and with just one goal, to feed.

Although mighty and powerful, the Dragoons were losing... soon the first casualties happen. First a few in a week, but later hundreds by the day... it was only a matter of time till everything they knew meet certain end.

In desperation they gather their last five heroes. Each representing an element of their race, Might, Power, Valor, Nobility and Knowledge. Through their ancient magic they executed one last ritual to summon a god between them to save them and the world from certain death. But alas, at the end of the ritual, five corpses lay down on the floor in front of the Queen. Their hope, their fate, their dreams all ended with the fading light of the spell... or so it seemed

On their last day, the Queen, her two sons and the last ten Dragoons, prepared for one final last stand... the fight lasted long but no one kept track of time, they didn't had to, it was their last day, their final hour.
One by one they fell, leaving in the end the Queen and her sons...

The Queen, the strongest of their kind, fought as brave as she could to protect what was most precious to her, she would fight till her last breath to keep them safe... unfortunately it wasn't long till she fell.

In her eyes she saw despair, fear and certain death of her children... why was this happening to them? Why didn't the gods hear their cries for help? Why were they forsaken like this?
With one last look around her, while she fell to the ground, a tear formed in her eye..."we, our planet, our life... gone forever... without a trace... no one will know about us... is this our final legacy?" one last look to her children, six last words came out of her mouth... and blackness took over.

Their planet, now engulfed by the legions of shadows, could be easily mistaken by a dark mist in space, only one seeing things from there would know the extent of the legion.

That was until a huge blast of light erupted from the dying planet. It was not long before the light pierced through the planet side to side and in one bright flash a explosion of stellar proportions occurred... two huge geysers of pure light blue shoot from the poles of the explosion, a white shock wave erupted from the blast, ramming against the other planets fragmenting them to nothingness. Their sun could hold so long till it too exploded into a super nova.

Nothing was left... no planets, no stars... not even a floating rock was left... the sky was now filled with shades of green and blue from the dust and plasma that formed after the cataclysm... that is, except from two last remnants of live... near them six orbs of light orbiting them.

==================================================================================

A winged beast awoke from its nightmare. Sweat all around it face, still shivering for the vivid dream

"Light meals before bed... my ass!" the creature hissed

==================================================================================

"Ughh! I need some vacations after this" one pony said while lying down on her huge bed

"He surely gave us trouble this time" another said standing next to her

"You know Luna, sometimes I wish I could understand him... why does he love chaos so much, one cannot rule what is chaotic. The nature of chaos isn't something one can grasp or control."

"Discord isn't something easy to understand. Sometimes I have my doubts that he is indeed evil..." Luna said looking to the window, watching the stars around her moon.

"What are you implying by that?" she said nonchalantly.

"Oh dear sister, this doesn't seem like you at all." she giggled softly "Losing your touch as the ruler of this world?" she teased.

"Ughh! Luna... just get to the point already before I leave you speaking your blabbering alone!" she turned to the other side to get into a comfortable position, she was in somewhat a mood.

"Tsk Tsk, is already that time of the month already?" she teased once again, but before her sister could answer she continue "Just think Celestia, he is a god like us, one that can do all sort of things to create chaos"

"Isn't that what he is doing?" Celestia replied almost asleep and a little annoyed, thinking that her sister is stating the obvious.

"Well it is true but take a closer look about him, he only does thing that involves you or somepony close to you" at the end of her statement she started to reorder the stars around the moon. Tonight was a nice starry sky.

Celestia took what her sister told and gave a minute of thought. She had a valid point but right now she just wanted to sleep. But curiosity crept her mind.

"Luna, like you said he isn't easy to understand. Probably the chaos he so desires to unleash has taken his mind already. Maybe he wants to take us out first... urghh... i don't know." Blinking twice, she hadn't notice that she was staring blankly into the fireplace, her eyes didn't flinch with the dancing flames

"It's the first time since..." she paused at that, knowing that somethings are better to be forgotten "Never mind that. But seeing you with those words, probably? Maybe? I don´t know? Sister I will take it that you are indeed tired and leave you to rest" with this she took her leave, exiting her sisters bedroom. Leaving her sister in deep thought.

Celestia couldn't leave her sisters words out of her mind. She went back to her memories, when they finally reunited, after her sister millennia exile. They were having a regular chat, just like two regular sisters catching up. They spoke about several themes until Luna came up with some curiosity about the issue with the research on friendship. They went on and on with several things related to friendship but somehow Luna felt there was a hole in it. She told she found interesting about having friends and all but what about the thing they called love? That special one that could make you feel above anything else (not like they could feel above anything else since they were goddesses). Celestia's answer "Probably we... maybe later we... I don't know..." she said defeated.

Before she could think anything else she fell asleep, having again that dream that would make her feel her spine tingle, her forbidden dream.

==================================================================================

"Again?" Celestia said with surprised look on her face.

"Yes, my lady, even with a garrison of 10 Pegasus and 5 unicorns we couldn´t do anything. We are deeply sorry my lady." Said one of her guards

"And what did that creature took?" she asked almost knowing what it came next.

"The same as the other weeks, a couple of chickens, eggs, some fruits and vegetable... oh and this time it took firewood too"

"Very well, I think I need to see this personally" she said with a sigh.

"But my lady, we can take care of this ourselves, you must not do such things your highness" the guard said a bit ashamed that the princess herself was going to resolve this matter personally, this was going to be a hard blow to the title of guards that cannot fulfil their duties.

"Do not worry, it's not that I don't have faith in your actions to prevent this from occurring" she said with a smile to ease the guard "Take it as a matter of knowledge, to see what new beast we are dealing with"

The guard stood there trying to process the information as quickly as he could "Very well my lady"

"For now keep the same garrison, I will take personal actions at the end of this week, you are dismissed"

The guard took his way out of the room, while Celestia read the reports about the creature. Something about a dragon like creature, the wings were made of feathers and in some points were some sort of blades, one yellow horn that bent forward and two other white horns that went to the back. It had blue scales and some parts of the body were covers in some sort of natural white armour that, in the regions of its arms and legs, sprouted some sort of curved blades.

Another curios thing about the creature was that it had long brown fur sprouting from the sides of the chest, surrounding its shoulders and in the back of its long neck. They said he wasn't big like a dragon, by the report it said it was one and an half times bigger than an alicorn and its neck wasn't also long like a normal dragon, in terms of proportion is was just a bit bigger that a pony.

She finished taking the last notes on the reports, no causalities and no pony was badly hurt in its raids on the farm. The creature was too fast for any pegasus to catch and even with all unicorns on garrison trying to restrain it with every spell know to them it seemed the beast was unstoppable by them. There were reports of mutual mocking between the creature and the guards. It seems it had the ability to speak

On one positive note of the creature, it seemed that it left behind some kind of rare jewel or something precious. If it was a dragon it wouldn't leave one single gem around but then again dragons were not very fond of chickens. Too much feathers for a meal they say.
"Hmm" she pondered on her thoughts"if i didn't knew that Discord was turned into stone by my own hooves i would say that this was him alright" she though.

==================================================================================

"hmmm~ hmmm~!" a grin formed on the creatures face "Tonight i am going to have some roast chicken!" its voice wasn´t as deep and profound as a dragon, just with a hint of it. Almost drooling himself thinking of a delicious roasted chicken with some sauce it realised something.
"Wait!" it stopped mid air, putting one of the claws below the chin "damn I forgot to check if they had some sauce... "
The creature roar the skies heading to an unknown region of the Everfree forest, landing in a old temple "Well guess next week I need to note that I really NEED some sauce, food without sauce isn't food"

==================================================================================

A week had finally gone by and princess Celestia was waiting for the creature to appear so she could "analyze and study it", meaning capture the beast and leave her sister to do the study. She was still in a mood for the past week and she felt this creature was starting to get on her nerves. She had a reputation to keep, one that could solve such minor thing swiftly and quickly. And after Discords last attempt to create chaos amidst her castle she was in need of a vacation from duty. The plan was to capture the creature and take a couple of days to rest after it.

As the night came and princess Luna moon rise in the horizon, the creature took off to the skies, it too was in a particular mood that night.

"Eating chicken soup all week just isn't my style... even my bottle of salad sauce was empty... man it's their fault for making me rush things..." it keep going higher and higher in the sky so it could have a good look on the farm that he went by for the last two months. The air around was a bit chill, although it was in the middle of the summer it was a normal thing to be cold so high above the clouds. The dragon like creature took its direction to the farm and increased it speed. The ends of its wings began to leave a trail due the intense speed he was reaching.

Down at the farm near a small lake, princess Celestia was reading a book while she ate some salad. She decided to relax a bit while on the farm and set herself close to the lake, sitting on top of a red cloth. The sky had a few clouds, partially hidding the moon behind. She continued to read the book and took a bite now and then on the salad. To give a bit more of flavour she poured a bit of cream sauce. Before she could take another bite on the salad, a strong gust of wind threw the bowl of salad with its content on her face leaving her with a mask of cream and salad on her face. She blinked twice before she could process what had happen.

"What in Eque..." she couldn´t end the sentence while she took a look at the creature on front of her. Just like described in the report it was really like a dragon but in a way different, the way the moon light stroke its scales made it like it had a blue glow while making shine the white armoured parts of the body. The wings, that flapped slowly and majestic, were made of feathers that also glowed while some parts was blade like feathers that were golden. But what took her breath was the eyes, at first they were glowing but after it blinked it showed silver eyes that could almost see trough her soul.

The Dragon like creature landed near her, legs first and then with a sound *thump* his arms touch the ground. Folding his wings back, it moved its head a just foot away from princess Celestia's face. She froze, she didn't know what to do, in front of her was a majestic creature that made her feel small and in some way helpless. But it wasn't fear that she felt right there. Before she could ask anything the creature began to lick her face, taking small bits of the salad. After what it seemed like forever the only part the creature didn't lick was her lips. She was still frozen, but mustered enough energy to her lips to speak.

"What are y-" she was silenced when the creature actually went for her lips. At first it seemed like a sloppy kiss as the creature took what remains of the cream of her mouth, but in the middle of that of that "cleaning" it started to actually kiss her. The winged beast broke the kiss and stare to her eyes.

"hmmm that... that was... damm... i just love it" his voice made her jump in surprise. But she couldn't speak after what happen "sorry sweetheart, I would love to stay here and lick you all night long, but i need to get me some tasty food" he chuckled "not to mention that this week I can't forget my sauce" he look at her with a sly grin "but i think i just found my favourite sauce"

Celestia stood there, her brain trying to process all information. It was just too much information to process. His words were looping on her head. And by each loop made her cheeks warmer by the second.

"THERE IT IS! ITS HARMING THE PRINCESS!" one unicorn guard shouted

"CHARGE!" another guard said, this time it was a pegasus followed by 3 other charging at high speed toward the creature

"GET IT! THE BEAST MUST NOT ESCAPE!" another unicorn guard shouted

"How many times i need to tell you i am not a BEAST! And i have a name for godsake! Sirus you ear? S. I. R. U. S. you stubborn goddammit ponies" he shouted while flapping its wing to get on the air. In on swift motion the aerial beast took flight and passed by all the guards not even filching to the magic done by unicorns.

The princess stood there watching the ruckus happening in front of her eyes. She saw her guards flying in the air every time they tried to stop him. She could hear them swearing each time they tried to take the chickens out of his grasp. Sometimes a cry of pain would be heard when either the ponies kicked him in the eyes or when he grabbed a few unfortunate souls and death hugged them to unconscious. This would be very funny indeed if this wouldn't mean more work for the princess. She approach them. He had 3 ponies in his grasp and one hand was grabbing another, 6 lay down unconscious. 2 of them were trying to strangle him, other 2 were trying to free the ones in his grasp and one was clearly ready himself to kick his eye at full speed

"BE QUIET!" her rage was visible; they all stood still, frozen by her god like voice. They could sense that any sudden move or foolish act would be rewarded by something they didn't wish to their worst enemies. That is everypony, not him.

"Woow! cream face is on a baaaaaaaaaad moo-" he never had the chance to finish when a huge blast erupted beneath him, sending everypony and him flying to the air.
