(Eclipse’s part of the intro)
A dark cold night breeze stirred the black clouds that floated gently, covering the Moon’s soft blue nocturnal light. Only a certain amount of light would shine down onto the cold snowy ground, the weltered trees had snow covering them, the ground almost knee deep with snow and very few animals were caught in the colds embrace but there was one who was not sleeping. An animal that carried swords and a dagger, one that wore a warm cozy cloak that covered its face.
“The blizzard is catching up.”
A deep blackish dark mist flows around his hands and out of his pupils, he scans the snowy floor and heads North…
“Hmm don’t remember it being this cold.”
He chuckles and walks forward, heading for the mountains and looking for a very specific cave, one that held memories about his childhood. Suddenly his ear twitches and the darkness reforms on his face acting as a bandana mask covering his nose and lower head also keeping him warm he lays down on the ground his white cloak making him blend in
“… Who’s there?”
People shouting and running. Most talk about this animal while others suggest new hiding areas to search. The animal slowly starts to crawl away and make for the mountains.
……………………………………………
About 3 hours later he makes it to the base of the mountain and looks up… The cave’s pathway entrances had collapsed over the years.
“Well, looks like I have to do this the hard way: Daggers and a strong ass grip.”
A smirk appears as he backs up and and pulls two daggers out, both black and purple with an NLR symbol on them. He runs forward and throws one up high and jumps, the other one clinging onto a thick rocky ice wall.
“Good, it can hold my fat ass.”
He chuckles softly and reaches for the other one, pulling the lower dagger out and begins his long climb up to the cave entrances.
……………………………………..
After a while his dagger enters the cave and he pulls himself up.
“There we are.”
He pulls out a pair of binoculars and scans the area, looking around slowly to not miss anything important that could possibly stick out. He continues to scan the area and notices a black spot moving slowly to the area.
“Hmmm…”
Zooms in and then puts the binoculars away, beginning to head down
“I hope that is a friendly, I pray to god.”
Turns around and heads deep in the cave and finds an old firepit with
wood nearby.
“…Huh…. Woah!”
He starts a small but warm fire and lays down beside it.
…………………………….
Time passes as the moon is at its highest peek. This animal is seen sitting by the fire. His darkness gone from his face and on his hands.
“Those 55 years on that cold dark moon changed me.”
Chuckles and clenches his fist. He thinks of the time he wanted to return to his home and kill everyone. It took him 10 years to break that thought.
“Darkness is alright.”
He smirks and clenches his fist again.
“We have become stronger and wiser.”
He smiles and the darkness makes the mask again, pulling out his sword and grabs the flint, sliding it along the blade and sparks fly off the blade, landing on the already lit fire. After a while he sheaths his sword on his back and pulls out his daggers called the, Mortem Blades. After sharpening his daggers and putting them back into their sheaths, he stands up and looks outside again, the black dot is slowly getting larger.
“…Hmm pretty soon you will find me… Let’s just hope your not here to kill me.”
Rubs chin and heads back inside, the moon’s glow now fully bright. He then turns back around and gets his binoculars out, something got his attention…..The dark spot was gone he sets his binocs down and thinks.
“Hmmmm… Where did you go? No footprints or anything.”
He scans for another 5 minuets but forgets to look down below him.
“Hm….”
He heads back to the fire and sits down. A short while later a black figure stands at the entrance of the cave. He is unaware of its presence.
(My part of the intro)
“The year of 1755. The year when the NLR started to weaken. The year when the Borealis was invaded by Celestia’s troops and damaged so greatly that it sunk with the crew and especially with the captain. The captain of the ship was Princess Luna who was once Nightmare Moon before the invasion of the Borealis happened. When it happened, her throat was slit and they hanged her from the bow to show how much she was hated and when the ship fully sunk into the water, her body was untangled and floated to another area of land where war would never occur at.
Two fishermen found her body washed up on shore and they knew who she was, they took her into some morgue. The staff found out she was pregnant and when they opened the stomach to get to the womb, that’s when they saw the last child of Les Enfants Terribles. That wasn’t the surprising part, the part that shook them the most is that the baby was still alive after all the abuse the mother had taken before dying. They checked the baby for any birth defects and found none, the conclusion that came with it was that Luna had prepared for a time that if she died while being pregnant, her magic and most of her life force would pass onto the unborn child to keep it alive for however long it can. The baby was given to a carefully selected couple who couldn’t produce a child and that the couple were now raising an alicorn.
The seasons passed, time flew, and the alicorn grew. She went from a baby, to a toddler, to a child, and to a teenager. Her life was happiness without end, she loved her adoptive parents much and was homeschooled by well selected mentors of magic, flight, and honor. The young alicorn was perfect in every way, though she knew that her adoptive parents were keeping something from her. Curiosity was never a thing for her, she never ventured for that part ever and she didn’t have her mark yet.
Not until her father became ill shortly after her mother died from cancer. She was a fully matured alicorn when she learned that her real mother was Princess Luna and that there was a war between her and Celestia, that she had brothers and how they were known as the “Terrible Children.” After watching her adoptive father die in front of her and learning the truth about where she originally came from, she had earned her mark in a couple of seconds after the revelation and she did not know what and how to feel about this. Having her adoptive father and mother cremated, she put the ashes in ethereal jars she created from pure magic and stored them in the their own bedroom on the bed. After that, she left the house without ever returning back to it, pursuing to find another mentor. A mentor who could teach her how to fight…
More years passed and when the war was over, she waited ten years for things to settle at Canterlot and the small town near it. She made her way towards the designated land but noticed her magic going off, alerting her that someone important was near. Instinctively following the magic, she came to a conclusion that she will hunt for the truth about how the war came to be and whoever her magic was leading her to, she would get answers from them. My name is Nocturis Elegant and I am the sister of the “Terrible Children.”
(Collaboration of Eclipse’s and my thoughts for this scene.)
As Eclipse looked at the fire, the shadow stares at him for a moment before turning into a pink mist that vaporized silently. The fire turned into a pink color and Eclipse quickly took notice of this, he gets up and looks around to find no one in his sights but he could now feel the presence of that person.
“Show yourself.”
No answer but only the silence. He closes his eyes, taking a deep breath and exhaling out before opening his eyes to reveal the black mist coming out of them.
“Show yourself or I will find you and kill you.”
The cold wind blew into the cave and the fire went out, he sighs and his horn glows, producing a small light as he loos around, waiting for an attack.
“You couldn’t kill me Eclipse. You can’t.”
Eclipse tries to find the feminine voice location but because of the echoes, it was hard to spot where she could be at.
“What makes you say that?”
“I know who and what you are but you don’t know who I am.”
He scoffs, walking around aimlessly.
“I know much of you. You were born in the year of 1700, you have brothers but they aren’t really mentioned but only you were.”
“You can read a book about that in the library. Anyone can, it’s not like that there aren’t books about my mother and brothers and the rest of the family.”
“We both know they didn’t write books about you, the brothers, or your mother that much because of the war. And if they did, it was either lost in the fires or sea. Those who have served Luna or Celestia in the past tell different tales but they are forgotten now, they are dead because mortals don’t have the curse like us immortals do.”
“Immortals can die as well-”
“I know but difference is, we will never truly die because people will remember us the most out of their life span. We are gods and goddesses and our duty is to protect our rightfully claimed land and the people… If we so disobey our own orders of laws, we then shall be sought out by another immortal and killed, our throne taken and then reshaped for who has killed to protect the people in honor.”
Eclipse tries to think who this female is, she talked like Luna in a way but also had a celestial accent. The hairs on his neck stood up for the first time in centuries.
“What is your name?”
“My name is not important right now. What is important now is that what am I and why am I here for you.”
The fire spawns to life, a normal color again and out of the shadows in front of Eclipse was an alicorn who resembled the looks of Luna but with a different color. Eclipse looks at her, eyes widen in awe as he sees the alicorn goddess in front of him.
“Another alicorn? H-How?”
She looks him in the eyes, calm expression on her face and she begins to speak.
“I am the sister of you and your brothers, Prince Eclipse.”
Eclipse did not know what to say but then responds aggressively.
“Lies! You are not an alicorn! And you are not my unborn sister! How dare you dishonor my mother, brothers, and me!”
He takes out his Mortem Blades, gripping them with much anger.
“I will kill you imposter and you will suffer before dying.”
The darkness makes the mask, his wings extend and his horn glows.
“When this is all said and done, you will see that I have proven myself to be your sister, brother.”
She prepares for battle and he charges at her with strongly, she charges at him quickly and as they make contact, the fire went out and a black explosion blasted the cave into pieces. Eclipse lands on the ground, rolling on the snowy ground until he stops and gets on his knees and hands, punching the ground once.
“Fuck…”
He gets up and sees the night replaced with stars that gleam, the moon having bits of pink in it. She was hovering in one place, using her magic instead of her wings.
“I will invite you to a duel brother, I have no hate for you, only questions to ask you. We can put this aside if you wish, it is your choice.”
“You are not my sister. You are an imposter who thinks who can trick me easily. I bet your the one who sent us that threat note, huh?”
“A threat?”
She quickly began to block his attacks as he vanished and reappears multiple times. She was only using her hands, no magic to deflect the attacks. She was precise in her movements, locked onto his attacks, knowing where he would try to strike her at. The Mortem Blades swung their fastest but she was able to intercept them and have them stab into her brother’s armor.
“What?!”
“Your attacking with blind rage brother, it’s not good for your true skills. It will only derail them and skewer you into trouble.”
She punches him in the armor chest plating, denting it in and he flew away from her in a blink of an eye as he lands with a thud again on the snowy surface.
“My dear brother, let’s end this for we can talk. I need to know the truth about things.”
“You can’t handle the truth.”
“That is your opinion.”
Two hours pass and the two were in the sky, in front of the moon, they looked like shadows.
“I know this is hard on you brother and it is also hard on me but you must channel that dark energy of yours into stability and see. Open your eyes, we are the same in a way.”
Her voice still calm as the night.
“You… Can’t be…”
“But I am. This is no trick, this is all true.”
She goes to him and looks him in the eyes with respect.
“I need your help. Will you help me?”
Eclipse looks at her and there was a moment of silence…. He looks at her and his mouth opens, as if to give her an answer.
