Ch. 7 - In the Past: Part 6
The sun was setting when Black Crescent arrived at the village, anger in his eyes. When he walked into the town, a blue Pegasus who stood on the east side of town saw Black Crescent walk into the town. The Pegasus picked up a stone and threw it at Black Crescent who saw the stone and stopped it with his magic. His body started to light up, the glow as black as his magic, as he turned the rock into something else. When the spell began, all nearby stones and the one that he was holding fused together, and when the spell was over, standing next to him was a lion made from stones. Its body was gray and its mane was black.
"Rock lion, teach these ponies a lesson," Black Crescent said, hatred evident in his voice. The lion attacked and Black Crescent made more of them to help it.
This is my talent—creating things, he thought joyously. Ponies were running and screaming around the town. Black smoke soon surrounded Black Crescent's body. I feel power coursing through me. So, their fear gives makes me stronger. With this new power, I shall take over the world and make it a place where outcasts are welcomed, he thought with a dark determination.
"This must be the moment when he turned evil," Luna spoke sadly.
The smoke finished covering Black Crescent's body, and when the smoke disappeared, Black Crescent had changed form. He was a tall stallion. His body was darker he and was covered in black armor. Two rock lions walked over to Black Crescent with Mayor Sliver in front of them, pushing him along. He was covered in blood from being attacked.
"The years of torture that you inflicted upon me are unforgivable. Your fear of this happening has now come true. But, on the other hoof, I learned that fear gives me more power thanks to you, so I don't know to whether to thank you or to kill you," Black Crescent said angrily.
Mayor Sliver looked on with fear as Black Crescent thought. "Mayor Sliver, I'm going to let you live, but you are banished form Avervillage, and if you return, you'll die," Black Crescent said calmly. Mayor Sliver was too scared to speak, so he nodded his head and started to run as fast as he could.
Black Crescent was enjoying the fear of the ponies when Nightshade landed in front of him, having just arrived. "Black Crescent, what have you done?" Nightshade asked, afraid and worried after seeing what had happened to her kind-hearted friend. He wouldn't do this.
"There's no need to be scared, Nightshade. The days of inequality amongst ponies has ended. No one shall suffer any longer, for I, Black Crescent, shall take over this world," Black Crescent said darkly.
He laughed as the girls became covered in the light again. When their eyes adjusted, they looked around seeing gray stones, stained glass the glass was made with white and black with images of diffident types of creatures, two big wooden doors, and a black throne. Behind it was a flag with Black Crescent's cutie mark, which was a black crescent moon on a white book. The wooden doors opened and Nightshade walked in.
"Nightshade, my dear friend. What brings you here?" Black Crescent asked joyously.
"You know why I'm here. I asked this many times. Stop the fear and let's try to be friends with the ponies," Nightshade said hopefully.
"Not again, Nightshade. I'll say this one more time. They will harm or kill us, given the chance, so for now, fear is our only way of knowing happiness," Black Crescent said angrily.
"But, this is not right, and it's not real peace for the lands. If they keep fearing us, we might suffer more. A real way of making peace is with the help of friends, so please stop this darkness!" Nightshade yelled sadly.
"I said 'no', Nightshade. This is the only way, and I won't take any chances. The outcasts could get hurt," Black Crescent said angrily.
"Then, if you're not going to listen to me, I'll end this darkness," Nightshade said, obviously hurt. She charged up her horn which burned with a green light. A hole opened up and started to suck Black Crescent in.
"A sealing spell. You speak of friendship, and you seal your closet friend. One day, I will come back, and the age of fear will return, Nightshade. You'll see that your heart's desire for pony friends will do you in," Black Crescent spoke, anger and sadness evident in his voice before he was sucked into the hole.
"So, he ended up on the moon after this, but where is he right now? I don't see him fighting with the shadow that you spoke of, Luna. Are we not close, yet?" Twilight asked, worried.
"I don't know, but we'll find out soon enough. We'll find him and save him," Luna said hopefully.
Until next time, please review or PM.
