Expiry: Never
-
>"Hey. This ain't normal, is it."
-
>The sun
-
>The sun is broken
-
>Shaped like the crescent moon with
-
>With fucking teeth marks on it
-
"I... nah. I don't think it is, Applejack."
-
>You were inside comparing notes about how to streamline her family business
-
>Least you could do with your professional past is put it to good use in the land of technicolor knockouts and beauties
-
>That all came to an end the second you heard the crunch of someone biting into a glass saucer
-
>That's what it sounded like to you anyway
-
>"This is bad. I think we should get Twilight."
-
"I think so too but..."
-
>With hardly any strength you lift your arm
-
>The brown path of a road going from the family house to the barn had twisted into a licorice-like spiral that looked like something out from an old video game
-
>The grass around it, spreading out to infect the rest, had started to melt into a mesh of grass blade-topped sharks
-
"I don't think I can make that jump."
-
>You've heard of this before
-
>Not this situation, but of reality falling apart
-
>It has only ever meant one thing
-
>"Discord. Discord must be doing this. That don't make sense, Fluttershy told me-"
-
"I don't think Discord is causing this..."
-
>"Who else could be doing this?"
-
>You exhale a laugh
-
>If a single "ha" counts as a laugh
-
"Whatever ate the sun."
-
>You hear Applejack say something but it's out of your depth to pay attention to what you see versus what she wants you to hear
-
>Four blips in the sky
-
>Brilliant, shining orange
-
>Aurora streaks of blue and purple
-
>A shining purple star
-
>A jagged spike of green
-
>All of them
-
>All of them are surrounded by a pure, complete void
-
>There wasn't a void moments before
-
>In the time it took for you to realize that, the spike of green warped and... burst
-
>The grass blade storm of sharks sprang from the earth and launched up toward the bursting star
-
>Even the licorice path whipped out, leaving behind editing stills and pencil sketches of the path from two seasons ago
-
>"What in... what. What are they doing up there?"
-
>The shock in the pony's voice is so dull you'd think you were looking at half-baked fireworks
-
>Was she really this used to this sort of chaotic exposure?
-
>Were you?
-
>The entire sky fills with grass sharks
-
>And licorice spears of gravel
-
>And giant letters from the earth itself that spell out
-
>You don't know what it spells out
-
>Ponies don't use English letters
-
"Fighting? Don't you guys have those Elements?"
-
>No answer
-
>You break away from the sight of a second sun being born to look at Applejack
-
>Her face
-
>If you ever thought you'd have another chance to sleep, you'd be kept awake by her face
-
>"D... did you see that?"
-
"Which part?"
-
>You go back to the sky
-
>The green star has become it's own planet
-
>Countless letters so big even visible in the growing abyss that used to be the sky swirl around like a comet field
-
>The aurora visage of night had flickered out, leaving the cosmos available to the naked eye
-
>And naked was the cosmos
-
>"That was Princess Luna. Did you see it?"
-
-
>"Something ate her. Something with teeth opened and-and she's gone."
-
>Impossible
-
>There is nothing that could have done that
-
>Not up there
-
>Not so impossible to see when the sky could be so barren
-
>Barren save for the sun, the gleam, and the star
-
>And something else
-
>You hadn't realized it but your legs gave out
-
>For a glimpse you see it
-
>Impossible numbers of long, needle spines opening in the void
-
>Like an etch-a-sketch, the green star vanishes
-
>The entire battalion of reality it stripped from the very earth vanished too
-
>Closed around the gaping maw of
-
>Of
-
>
-
>If you had a word to describe it, it wouldn't be
-
>Only the second sun and purple gleam remained
-
>The second sun had to be at least five times brighter than the one that had been...
-
>Where was it?
-
>It was up there not moments ago
-
>Though it burned your mind, the light from the second sun gave you insight
-
>It wasn't the night sky you were looking at
-
>Not some ceaseless abyss of space
-
>Segments
-
>Black segments
-
>Segments that blotted out the sky in it's entirety
-
>Segments that pulsed and coiled around everything, everywhere
-
>Segments so big that even the second sun looked like a mole on an otherwise unremarkable face
-
>Laughing
-
>Applejack is laughing
-
>Not one to be outmatched, the purple gleam had been darting around the ether
-
>While it did not muster a sun, the darting purple bullet-trailed by a thin myriad of colors-sped up until it became a solid figure
-
>A circle with so many figures that it may as well had become a solid figure
-
>Rather than vanish like the green star, the second sun revealed that it wasn't teeth of any sort but more segments that would spell demise for the purple plate
-
>Segmented tendrils
-
>Or fingers
-
>Scooping down at the purple plate
-
>Swiping or scraping at it, just to have no effect
-
>Only after an hour's worth of evading passed in a second did the entirety of the purple emblem vanish
-
>All it took was one tendril to hit the right, singular spot
-
>No more purple then
-
>Next was the second sun
-
>Segmented abyssal loops tried to coil around it
-
>You can only assume so, as loose strands tried to get in front of the second sun
-
>It failed
-
>It failed
-
>It failed yet again
-
>Until a hole appeared in the very center
-
>Small
-
>A needle's point in a zeppelin bulk
-
>As soon as you noticed that needle, the second sun blotted out complete
-
>The entire sky fell to complete darkness
-
>No more stars
-
>No more moon
-
>No sun
-
>Either of them
-
>Nothing
-
>Nothing but Applejack laughing
-
>You're speechless
-
>You don't hear when the laughter stops
-
>Or the horrific shrieks from Ponyville
-
>Were they truly only just now?
-
>You only see what you can't anymore
-
>It's all over
-
>You never knew
