Chapter one
It was a strange fight many moons late, powers beyond any one's control rushing throw on single being and yet being defeated by one of the same strength. Cosmic lost to Phoenix Pit during an attempt to dethrone the older princess. And during the dying years, Equestria had forgotten the younger princess all together...
"Cosmic... Oi Cosmic!" It had been almost her 1000th life, so close but to her so far. "Cosmic not this again, I told you 'yes, you can train with me' but that means you also have to train while you're not in school, it's summer for *Celestia's sake!"
A tall rusty red unicorn with a muddy brown mane, side burns, and tail stared at thick gray blankets covering the weak, leaning bed and the mare hiding underneath the layers. His name is *Mundy, well his last name is Mundy but he never told the mare his first name.
He reached over and tugged the blankets off, one by one. "You're lucky I'm not usin' me magic!" another layer off. "You're definitely runnin' this mornin'!" shedding all the layers just showed some groggy white *alicorn mare with a tangle mane and tail to more or so explain her tired demeanor. She lifted her head from the drool stained pillow and shyly smiled to Mundy. He only stared his mouth curved into a frown as Cosmic threw herself off the bed.
"Morning Mundy." she tried to walk past him but her tail was caught under his front left hoof.
"You have a good reason for sleepin' in on your *smoko?" He levitated her back to face him.
"Well it's you know my free time and you know, juggling homework and sniping lessons and learning survival skills is hard for a mare to do all at once so can I least has a week or so to hang out with my friends? Do what I want for once?" the smile on her face grew in desperation. She knew Mundy's strict, she knew for years as he took her in as daughter and apprentice.
"You really want my decision?" he loomed over her.
"Um.. Yes?"
"Is that a question?" he asked.
"No."
"Then do you want my decision?"
"Yes."
"Ol' right then... sure." he pushed her out the door to the the bathroom. "Besides your friends are here askin' where you are."
"SPEC'S HERE!?" Cosmic ran in for Mundy to face plant in front of the doorway, "Why didn't you tell me sooner!?"
"Tryin' to impress the boy?" he got up in time for the slam to slam in his face, just still frowning.
"Trying? More like failing to even attempt!" she lifted the brush from the counter. "Oh my god dad, why didn't you just say that they were here?"
"I thought you'd wanted to do what you wanted for once?" he got the door to open with her giving him a glare before closing the door again to brush her teeth, "Besides, you need the air."
"Gee thanks." mouth stuffed with minty acid, she spat out and sloshed water to rid of the excess paste. "Now I'm wasting more time to get ready than I should."
"I don't see why." he opened the door this time and used telekinesis to lift a towel for her. "And you better hurry!"
She shoved her face in the towel and threw it back to Mundy. "I better will." she trotted past him and slid on the stair rail to the first floor of their little hobbit home. "I'm coming! I'm coming!"
"About time!" *Skunk Nose, *Lonely Learner, and Specter Atomis all waited by the front door. Skunk pretty much said hello to his 'lil sis' by giving her a noogie. "I was wondering when you'd get up."
"Blame my dad, he didn't tell me you guys were here until our entire conversation was worthless." she hugged the gray coated, black striped stallion with purple eyes and looked to Lonely. "Lonely you're looking smashing as ever."
"Thank you darlin'" with the soft southern voice he replied. Yep always smashing with his clean white coat, blue clear eyes, and curly golden mane and matching tail. And to Specter, the mint green coat, iris-less light green eyes, and dark forest green mane with electric blue highlights. "So are you ready for today dear?"
"Yep! What's the plan?" she pulled the last two of the group in for a quick hug. "Beside being witnesses to my rushed morning."
"We're finally seeing that awful movie we wanted to see last time." Specter nuzzled Cosmic's cheek. "Thought it'd be nice since we were interrupted the last time."
This was the schedule. Wake up, live life, die, reincarnate, repeat. Sometimes there'll be love or torture in between but besides that would be nothing else. The natural curse Cosmic must endure as welting memories fell atop it.
"*Nightmare Moon was a dangerous villain against Equestria. She tried over 5000 years ago to capture the entire world in her eternal night." remembering the tall purple alicorn that was her mother walking down the grand halls and retell the tale of the mare that once threatened the kingdom.
"Mother, can anypony else become Nightmare Moon?" Phoenix had been just been too interested in the darkness.
"Yes. It had happened to my friend Rarity when the darkness had been looking for a new host, but it has been to scared to resurface."
Oh I knew why she wanted to learn of the darkness. She expected me to turn.
*Celestia- The first princess of the day/sun. Elder sister of Princess Luna.
*Mundy- Mentor of Cosmic Maine/Full Sky. Ex-mercenary of RED(Reliable Excavation and Demolition) and Ponny. Co. He's more than just a pony...
*Alicorn- a species in the pony population that is considered royalty as they have wings of a pegasus, horn of a unicorn, and body of a earth pony.
*Smoko- Australian slang for "taking a break". In Mundy and Cosmic's case, Summer vacation.
*Skunk Nose- a zebra-unicorn hybrid that is in the rebel group in the high school him and the other members of his posse are attending
*Lonely Learner- a popular homosexual pegasus stallion that finds more company with Cosmic, Specter, and Skunk other than those in his social group in high school.
*Specter Atomis- A surprisingly handsome pegasus stallion that is stationed in the 'nerd' population of high school but is accepted by his closest friends. He apparently has a thing for the high school loner Cosmic...
*Nightmare Moon- Was once Princess Luna but had grown jealous of her sister Celestia and attempted to control all of Equestria.
