LOCATION OF DESERTED ISLAND “X” REDACTED BY
EQUESTRIAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
Celestia and Luna were lying in the soft sand, bathing their fur in the sun, and relaxing to the sound of crashing waves. They focused only on the present and—for once—did not stress upon their royal duties. The only things Celestia missed were her son and student. Fortunately for her, as if obeying the will of the gods, two scrolls appeared in front of her in a green fire.
“Sister, look! We’ve received mail!”
“Only you could be happy for getting such a trivial thing.”
“But they are from Onyx and Twilight!” exclaimed the sun goddess, getting the attention of her sister, who watch her sister opened the scroll addressed from Twilight first.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today, I learned that even if your greatest dream looks like it’s out of your reach or impossible to obtain, you should never give up until you get it. The result could be more pleasant than you ever expected.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle.
P.S. Your son is a beast in bed.
Celestia was shocked; she read the letter again, just to make sure that she really read that right.
“...HOW DARE SHE! I THOUGHT I TAUGHT HER BETTER THAN THIS!” shouted Celestia. In her outburst, she threw the scroll on the ground and started kicking sand everywhere. Luna, intrigued, took the scroll to read it too.
“...Well, I guess thou are right; writing of such scandal is not what the royal protege should be doing.”
“This isn’t right! It’s only forty-six words! FORTY! SIX! WORDS! Why not just send me a post-it note instead! At least it wouldn’t have filled me with the hope of having something to read!” she yelled, bucking down a palm tree.
“...Wait ... thou are acting this way because of the length? What of the post scriptum!?!?”
“You’re right! Let’s talk about this. Why, in a letter so small, would she write a P.S.; she could have written it in the letter instead and added more description. Maybe then, it would look more like a proper letter!”
Luna was speechless; it was the first time she’d seen Celestia so angry over such a trivial detail, ignoring the news of her student and son’s relationship; it was unusual.
“...heh, heh ... thou should calm down and read the other letter,” said Luna before putting her sunglasses back on and lying in the sand. Following her sister’s directive, Celestia opened the second scroll.
Hi Mom,
I don’t quite know how to tell you this—well, I’ll write it anyway—so I will be straight with you. Cadance has taken my place at the night court for the past few days on account of me having important personal business in Ponyville. I don’t know what Twilight is writing on her letter, so just in case... Twilight and I are dating each other. I know that you always told me to introduce you to any mare I wanted to date before making a move, but with Twilight ... with all the time she spends with you, I’m sure you are closer to her than your nephew, Blueblood.
I hope you will accept my choice, and if not... Well, I’m sorry, but I cannot control what my heart is telling me.
But enough about me, how are you? You never told me where you and Auntie Luna were going, and it’s been more than three days. Is everything okay? Are you having fun? Just one more small question; who was your first true love? And don’t tell me you haven’t had one; you’re 2999 years old. I know you haven’t been alone all this time.
I think Twilight’s waiting for me to finish up my letter so I won’t take too much longer.
Your loving son.
This time, Celestia was quiet with sadness; though, not because of her son’s choice. She was proud of him for following his heart and, unlike last time, it was out of true love, not drunken lust. She was sad, not from realising how old she was... No, she was sad because of his question about her love life. She had been in a relationship once; everything had been wonderful between them ... until he became power-hungry... She ended up turning him to stone ... why couldn’t he have listened... The memory brought tears to the solar princess’ eyes.
“Sister ... are you okay?” asked Luna worriedly.
“Yes ... yes ... everything’s fine. Just ... an old memory,” said the sad mare, but Luna knew that look on her sister’s face all too well, and even if it had been more than one thousand years, she knew that the pain in her sister’s heart was still there.
“Don’t worry, Tia. Maybe, when he comes back, he’ll turn back to what he was like before ... like I did... How much longer until his spell breaks?”
“Since we’re no longer connected to the Elements ... two, maybe three years. I hope you’re right, Lulu. Maybe Onyx will have a father after all...”
Southern Equestrian coast
If a pony were to travel to the small coastal village of Hooflicking, they would taste the best salt produced in all of Equestria. They could visit the pier and drink more salt beer than they could ever wish for. But if they asked anypony about the woods nearby, they would be told how those trees were haunted; that nopony should wander into the woods, lest they be encounter the slim, shadowy, pony-like monster that stalked the forest.
However, things are not always what they seem. The wood were not haunted, and if you were to go in them you probably wouldn’t die. It was all an urban legend; a myth. And if a pony were so brave as to venture into the forest, they would find a slender changeling, Tarek, the legendary former-guardian of Queen Chrysalis. The guard who had buried his Queen with her daughter at his side; who watched a brave, innocent little filly die and grow into the leader that everyling knew today.
It had been nearly three hundred sixty years since he deserted the Hive; he was far older than the typical Changeling. Unlike Queens, who can easily live ten millennia before they die of natural causes, normal Changelings can only live to about one hundred twenty. Tarek’s longevity was credited to drinking an age-slowing potion made by Elixir, an enigmatic gypsy pony that lived outside the town. His health was maintained by feeding on the entire population of Hooflicking—not having to share with the Hive meant more than plenty of food.
Tarek was sitting on a small sofa reading an old tome about Equestria when it was ruled by the parents of its present leaders, Celestia and Luna. His home had only a bed with a chest at its side, a constantly lit fireplace to keep him warm, and a shelf that held several books and vials of potion. When you don’t have to eat to survive, you can save a lot of space in your house.
Still reading his book, Tarek suddenly felt something strange, as if someling else were with him; though, not as if they were at his side, but like they were inside his head, like when he was still connected to the Hivemind. It felt like Chrysalis’ signature. It was impossible; he had blocked himself from every link with the Hive so as not to be found by his queen. So, it was with the faintest amount of magic that he tried to identify who had reconnected the frequency.
It did not take long, and what he saw was more than confusing. The one who reawakened his link was not even a changeling; it was the adopted prince of the country in which he was hidden. Using a little more magic, he searched to find how he could have done such a thing until he realized, “When I separated myself from the Hivemind, I made the spell to cut me from everyling, not every creature. But then why does he have her signature... What are you planning, Chryssie...?”
Tarek rose from the sofa and walked over to the chest next to his bed. He opened it and retrieved the item he held most precious.
“If only you could forget all this desire for vengeance ... and return to the sweet filly that you were before...” he trailed off before placing Mister Snowy back in the chest.
Celestia likes long letters.
Oh great. It seems that you are going to pair Celestia with Discord.
The Discord/Celestia card?…yeah…I'm have no comments, no wait, yeah I have something to said, its not that is a bad idea, is just well the idea of Celestia STILL holding a candle, is…plain right pathetic, here we have a powerful ruler able to overcome the toughest of trials, and able to do the painful decisions…acting like a school girl who's boyfriend constantly beat her up, until they break up. And when the bastard want to return she go over hill for him with no question. Its just pathetic, and that is why I don't like that idea from the get go.
But is your story and I bet you have something plan, just think about it, the god of chaos bringing destruction and down right abuse of her girlfriend (He did it,and you know it) and she even when turn it into stone still want him, and don't have any kind of grudge for the way he treat her?!! That is just be weak and dependable of a monster, is toxic and destructive for her. Its not healthy and no matter how they end the fact of that kind of thing is not just right.
My advice, put the right emotion of Celestia (rage and grudge) because she deserve and its the most logical of things, if something happen it's Discord that need to realized all that he did, AND start changing and try to win Celestia heart…THAT is how things should have being, trust me, it will improve things and your characters will be as they should be according of what you have establish them so far.
Oh P.S if you were talking about another being seal in stone, then forget all I said and sorry for bother you, keep working, its a nice chapter
That isn't the only things she likes long
Ha Ha, Daddy Discord.
so is no one going to talk about how Slendermane(ling?) might be a cool guy in this series? (still doesn't change that even if he does talk help the ponies with the imminent invasion or anything else they'll run away though)
2526464
Didn't like that idea much either, eh? Oh well lets give him a try who knows Discord is behind 23 birthday gifts, I'm curious what can he give him as a present
2526610
I guess. I mean I am tolerating it for another story I am reading.
It is just that, it really is a very stupid crack pairing, and it baffles me as to how it got so popular.
tiaXdiscord rest of the chapter was pretty goodlol celestia needs to set her priorties Straight
Poor Tarek.
2526641
You and be both bro, but as Zecora teach us, you never have to judge a book for its cover, it could work, if it develop carefully.
But yeah the concept is a very stupid idea and I already explain the why, lets hope Silver knows what is getting at
2526641>>2526610
why you never learn remember what happen when i ship Trixie with Onyx? Did it last? NO because it does not make sense AND i said you many time that i try to follow the show soooo did Celestia and Discord are in a relation in the show....?
2526676
atleast he have the most awesome plushie
2526689
……… Sorry I suppose I am a bit of a slow learner, at a times, that and a couple of bad experience with that paring.
But thanks now that is a giant relieve, and now I can start to image some of the jokes Discord can make once he meet Onyx.
So you are Tia song eh? Well I can see you inhered her tail (A multi color, tail apear in his back)
Oh, and what its this? Scars? Gee I knew Celestia was a stick in the mud but this is just cruel (Chaps his fingers and the scars are rip like stickers)
I like you boy, you have the chaotic spark in your eyes, tell me, did you like to learn what real fun looks like? I always want a protégé
2526726
Hahaha i would want to see that.....wait...i am the writer...so i can make it happen
What about a shower of chocolate rain...or transfer the mind of Gryffin in Onyx and the mind of Onyx in Griffin.....
2526778
Or make Onyx into an Alicorn, and Celestia into a human?
2526816
If that happen...The body of Onyx will take so many pound I wonder how many pancake Celestia can eat in a human body
2526820
3 maybe, and i was refering of their respective human and pony equivalent.
Oh, oh I know what REALLY can be mess up, transform Celestia body into a exact duplicate of Twilight, and transform the body of Blueblood into a replica of Celestia. Exchange the genders of Shining and Candace…and make Onyx into a giant, (that include his voice, normal speaking will be as strong as the Canterlot We, for normal folks)
That could be some serious chaos
lol at Twi's P.S.
but wait a minute. what did Tarek mean? is Chryssy alive or dead if he buried his queen?
2527006 go back a couple of chapters he means chrisalis's mother died
Oh! A potential new ally. I hope so!!!
wait, if Onyx becomes a father, then will his son/daughter would look somewhat anthro?
I'm mentioned!!!!! I'm mentioned!!!!!!
happy days, another good chapter
many doors have been opened, which will you follow?
:-P
Elixir
2527626
It has already been stated a few chapters ago that Onyx is not compatible with ponies. So... no foals. He has to adopt. Or the author could somehow make him compatible, if that happens... then probably.
2528020
Fuck It
Centaurs
2528286
Works for me.
When will he discover humanity?
Tia X Discord? Really?
Tia X Sombra would be MUCH better. At least Sombra is a pony.
2528751
remember the last time i have do a bad ship?% don't i have everything in control
2527864 Didn't AJ did it in season 2?.
Please don't let it be Discord! the TiaxDiscord is way over used but Lighting Ace is right, if its done right it can work, but something i really het is when Celestia shows a weak side over something,she is immortal, there might be nothing she haven't been through.
I have seen Discord paired with either Fluttershy, Pinkie, Tia, and Luna. I am alright with any of these shippings as I don't find them as over used as other shippings.
2528020
Magic maybe? I remember the Coal Buck fic that has been removed due to personal reasons. The difference though was that they made him more... adequate... as to satisfy his lovers, but considering that they were changing the genetic structure of his genitalia I think the character from Coal Buck's fic could have kids of his own, if wanted. Point is, anything can happen in this strange world known as Equestria.
2526464>>2526506>>2526672>>2528751>>2528930>>2530260
Tia x Discord. Now, I don't know what stories you've been reading or where your headcanon comes from, but if you've read any that are set prior to the Discord and Nightmare Moon incident, Celestia, Luna, and Discord are usually portrayed as very long-standing friends, up until a falling out of some sort that results in Discord and subsequently, Nightmare Moon being turned into stone and banished to the moon, respectively. Celestia, being nearly three millennia old in this particular story, and Discord, being an almost timeless being, might have had an intimate relationship for numerous centuries; not to intrude on any of your headcanons, I'm just going by this story's canon and widely accepted fanon, as to avoid my own personal bias.
Some of you might have had a personal relationship with a friend or romantic interest for months, years, or even decades for some, but do you think you would remember them if you split apart? Do you think that you would forget a century-old relationship that ended as violently and catastrophically as turning someone into stone for a millennium? Surely, with a personality as lively, robust, and comical as Discord's, you'd probably remember his antics, his laughter, the fun times you shared together.
Although they may be demigods, Celestia, Luna, and Discord do have secondary weaknesses: family, friends, lovers, and the bonds between them. It's the reason behind the ships' popularity; we get to see an immortal, all-powerful ruler let their guard down show their weaknesses. Not to mention Celestia, Luna and Discord's funny/cute/awkward antics. And while Celestia may have appeared weak in the confidence of her sister, her bitterness when in Discord's presence might be a bit more prevalent.
2526602
It's not really Slender(pony/ling), it's just a legend surrounding Tarek's mysterious presence. I don't know if Mr. Fang has anything planned with that, mostly because it was my doing; I just threw in the words "slim" and "slender" just for shits and giggles.
2527643
I'm starting to see an enigmatic backstory developing around your character. It reminds me of Angela from the Eragon series.
2526778>>2526816>>2526820>>2526854
M.A. Larson strikes again.
2527864
Fire. Glorious fire.
No comma after "Celestia." No comma after "Today." An uncapitalized "I." No comma after "student." No period after "Sparkle..."
Today's the day that bitches die.
2535848
Everything you have just stated is bullshit unless proven cannon, and so far in the show that is not happening. There is not even the slightest indication that they were once friends.
2535865
>bullshit unless proven canon.
>unless proven canon.
>proven canon.
>canon.
Where did I mention show canon? I thought I made it expressly clear that most of the shit I was going off of was from either "Tales of Prince Onyx" or general fan canon stolen from a various many of other fanfics. As for the show not depicting any detailed back-story, that argument could be applied to just about every single work of fiction on this site; it's fan-created, that's the point. If it all abide by show occurrences, it wouldn't be original.
The part of my comment mentioning weaknesses in interpersonal relationships is accurate; it's a fairly common element in writing and conflict development. I'll even throw in a bit of show canon. In FiM Part 2, Celestia and Luna cry once reunited. In KCaFU, Discord's kept in check at the threat of losing Fluttershy as his only friend.
2535848
Ah when did they establish friendship? When they portray Discord, he has only searching destruction and chaos, it make it looks like before Celestia and Luna seal him, they were force to live a very difficult and rough life under chaos and misery.
Remember the past of the ponys, with all of the conflict why they didn't do anything? My theory, Celestia and Luna may be immortals but that does't mean they didn't have there powers from the begin. Both of them must had be train for centuries before be able to confront Discord. And with his attics as you describe, its looks like he never had a truly friend and didn't care having power and nothing to stop him. Until the elements that was his stop he finally start to think.
So yeah, I don't exactly see where the friendship thing come from
2536006
About half of the stories I've read with Discord and Celestia interacting are as foes, the other half as allies. I suppose I forgot to mention that, but it's pretty even between the two. They're either friends enemies; in "The Tale of Prince Onyx," it just happens to be on the friendlier side of interpersonal relationships. Again, just running on this particular story's canon and a few like-canoned others.
2536031
Its a possibility, just saying like you say Discord was timeless, that mean that there was a chance he lived for millennia's even before Celestia was born, but yeah in this universe they may had something at one point
