Lightning Bliss

@, "So glad you asked!" She beamed with delight, "well there will be my husband Nights Hoopla, he's a draconquus, hope you don't mind that factor?" She rubbed her head and blushed knowing at some point she'd have to explain that story, "there's my mother Gentle Feather and my step father Shy Hammer. Most likely my sister Fire Heart, her husband and four foals will be there. There's also my sister Rosie Lips and her colt Audio Drums, he's just a young colt though. There's so many names here though I'd hate to bore you!" She was clearly excited to talk about her family. Her wings kept flexing up and down and her tail continued to wag back and forth.

@, (OOC feels like its just us lol) She smiled and nodded, respecting his shyness. "It's ok, you don't have to decide tonight, we have plenty of time to figure it all out." She stretched her wings out and flickered her tail back and forth to wake it up, before laying back down and laid her head on the grass. "There will be pumpkin pie...and my special apple pie!" She tried to lure him in.

@, Bliss blinked and looked back on the rainbow like creature clinging to her and smiled. "This little guy? He doesn't have any teeth in his beak!" She smirked, "I'm sure mama bird will be reasonable, long as we hurry, she's probably worried sick by now...I just..." she looked back to Hurricane again, "I don't understand how she could have left him get out of the next...this early...I'm actually more worried for his mother now that I think of it..." She turned towards the icy caps, where she could see one cave up ahead, amongst several others. She shivered again, feeling the cold nip at her hooves. "Come on, let's get this child out of the weather." She walked up, scaling the ice.

@, @@purple.teal, @@Pripyat Pony, "But...but!" She tried to protest, "I...I don't know anything about babies! I dont' know anything about foals, let alone foal hippogryphs...And-" Before she could finish the little hippogryph, clambered up onto her back and snuggled into her mane....It was shivering, very cold from the snow and ice. She sighed, "I guess...I could look after it till we find its mother...I found it...or rather...it found me," she sighed again rubbing her ears as she felt the little fellow snuggle in more. Not realizing out of instinct, she levitated her cloak that had fallen off in the scuffle, back onto her back, making extra sure it was covering the little foal for extra warmth, "there...that will help." She turned to the others and continued, "It found me just over there," she pointed to some rocky, ice that was going further up the hill. "I can't really see well, but it looks like there are caves further up that way. Maybe if we're lucky we can find some shelther along with finding his mother."

@, @, @@Pripyat Pony, @, @, (OOC Hey no problem Polnareff, I'm doing my best to keep it going. Hope you don't mind if we continue onward and get attacked by rogue 'magic immune' other hippo gryphs at some point. But for now trying to add comedy to the situation) "It keeps calling me mama and won't let go!" Bliss cried out to all of them as Hurricane asked if she could fly and Quickdraw attempted to poke the creature with his weapon. "SQUAWK!!!" Cried out the hatchling as it was poked. Then it proceeded to clamber up her back like a little pony riding its mother, entangling its talons into her mane. "OUCHY mama!" It whined for her to protect it. "Gah! Don't touch it like that! You're only making things worse!" Bliss snorted at Quickdraw and Steel as she attempted to levitate the young thing off her neck. "Come on let go...LET GO!" "SQUAWK MAMA NO!" It cried again as she attempted to use magic to pull it off. Thinking ahead of Hurricane's idea to 'fly' she leapt into the air, merely a few feet off the ground hoping the creature would be terrified to jump off. When this didn't immideatly happen, she flew up higher. "Come on you...let go! I'm not your mama! I'm not!" "WEEEEEEEEEE!!!" The little chick clucked and laughed with joy as she flew up into the air. "Higher! Higher!" "Oh for Celestia sake GET OFF!" She suddenly did a barrel roll in the air, forcing the hatchling to let go suddenly. He cried out as he fell too high up from the ground. "OH NO! NOT THAT HIGH!" Panicked for the poor thing would hurt itself despite the fact it had wings of its own and was desperatly trying to flap, she dove down, snatching it by the scuff of its neck feathers, back to the safety of the cold ground. "Phew...ok I wanted it off...but I didn't intend for it to get hurt..." She attempted to explain to the others as she put it down. The little creature sat there, shaken for a moment, but perked up immideatly when he saw Lightning staring back at him. "MAMA!" It squawked again and ran to her, hugging her chest and front legs as she sat down. She looked at the creature...then back to the others. "What do I do now?" She asked feeling out of ideas.

@, @, @@Pripyat Pony, Suddenly Bliss heard the familiar voices of Clover and Hurricane, they were super close, close enough that she turned the head in the direction they actually came from. She lit her horn up brighter then ever, and shouted out. "HERE OVER HERE! HELP!" She shrieked as she spotted Hurricane first in the air and waved down to her, "Gah...help, help!" She struggled to get up by the little pony bird continued to hold tightly to her neck and chest. "It won't let go!" Then she spotted Clover finally trotting up behind Hurricane along with the others. "This...infant! Think's I'm its mother!" She got up and frantically tried to shake the little hippogryph off, "It won't let go!" "Mama!" Squawked the happy little infant. From the sounds of his vocals, it was a male, or colt...or...whatever it was.

They are not seen as 'deities', the ponies may mention "in the name of Celestia" and all that, but they are not worshiped like gods, they are followed as leaders, so lets not exaggerate their role in Equestria Society. Secondly, its been proven by Cadence and Twilight, that anypony can become an alicorn, it just depends on what they learn in contribute in the magic of "Harmony". Celestia and Luna keep the balance in harmony with their powers of the sun and moon. Cadence is the alicorn of Love, and Twilight is Friendship, this all is realitive to the magic of Equestria, which is "Harmony". In regards to any brony here making an alicorn, they have every right to do so of their own free will, no one here has any right to tell anyone what they can and cannot do, long as they accept that not everyone will like what they do/create in their OC. Like for me for instance, I hate all Mary Sue personalities and powers. I hate Godmodding, and I hate it when people randomly make an alicorn OC and don't put any efforts into their back story or design, they simply do it because they want to stand out and look bigger then they really are. I put months of hardwork and effort into my ponysona/OC backstory and design, and went through several critics from others to get her to where she is today. I believe everyone can make a descent alicorn OC, whether they be cannon or not, long as they put in a valid effort when making them.

@, @@purple.teal, @@Pripyat Pony, Bliss's ears were large and faintly picked up the cries of her friends up ahead, but the wind was so loud it muffled them to the point she had no idea what direction their voices were coming from. The snow storm seemed to get worse, her eyes were stinging from being pumbled with snow and ice as it blew across the mountain tops. "Everlast...? Clover!" She coughed out, snow getting into her mouth, "anypony ttt-th-there?" She attempted to light up her horn, but it bleaked in and out of magical ability...the cold was getting to her. She took a few steps, unawaringly in the wrong direction, slipping and sliding on icy rocks as she went. "I'm here! *coughs* Anypony?" She started to panick. Butterflies whirled up in her stomach as she lifted her hoof out, trying to feel for her friends, blind by the snow and ice, and her blinking horn failing to do much other then to hope her friends would spot it. Suddenly though, to some relief, she felt a soft but firm touch of fur...it was warm...a body?! "Who is this? Is that you Blaze?" She asked as she touched the fur again...No answer...but she got the distinct feeling that whoever or whatever she was touching...seemed curious and a little frighten by her presence. "Blaze...Everlast? Clover? HURRICANE??? This isn't funny! Who is this? I can't see!" "Mama?" Squawked a cute little voice, "mama!" The voice and body gave into a small being hugging her suddenly, clutching her legs to the point she fell to the ground, getting covered in snow. "Gah...what in the name of Luna?" She finally forced her horn to light up brighter, the snow giving back as she did so...and exposed quite the unusual, though cute sight... There clutching her side and wings, rubbing its little beak up and down her mane, was a young hippogryphon... It had the distinct look of a regular bald gryphon, but its pony body was tiger colored, and its wings and its feathers were highlighted with pink, orange, green and purple rainbow like colors. Even its tail looked similar to her own with the same color patterns. The young one continued to snuggle into her for warmth and affection....like it would with its own mother... "Oh no..." she gulped realizing the mistake of identity would lead to no good. "I got to find the others..." She quickly stood up and pushed the young hatchling away, and attempted to walk away. "MAMA!" The gryph cried out and lunged onto her back, wrapping its talons around her neck. "GAH!" the sudden jump forced her to the snowy rocks again, "I'm not your mama! Let go! Go...go back home! You're mama is probably there!" "Mama...*snuggles into her mane*" The little one continued to hold tightly to her. "Oh no, no, no, no..." she hyperventilated..."ANYPONY OUT THERE???!!! HELP!"

My OC was a pegasus at the very beginning of it all before turning her into an alicorn. The first reasons of why I did so where on a personal level. I was the first of my silbings to graduate college with a degree, I was also the first to get married in a traditional wedding fashion, nor did I have any kids prior to that (technically still don't have kids either), and throughout all the pains of losing 4 family members in 2010 including my father, surviving the battles between family members over assessts and the grief...I realized that a new path in my destiny had opened up, and wished to express that in my OC/Ponysona. However I realized a massive problem...the fandom frowns upon Alicorn OCs, for good reasons: - Poor Design - Lack of Developement - Mary Sue in both abilities and personality So I made rules for myself while adapting my pegasus OC/Ponysona to alicorn status. I wanted her to be acceptable in most eyes of the brony fandom, whether that be RPs or outside. I wanted her to be as close to cannon as possible. But as clearly stated its a sensitive topic, so I leave viewers to decide if she's good for cannon or not, and of course her design... Now design at the end of the day is your choice, whether others like it or not, but of course there's got to be some rules as to not completely scare off those who wish to view your creation. For me I'm an animator and I already violated the number 1 rule "KEEP IT SIMPLE". My OC has all the colors of the rainbow in her mane and tail...She doesn't even have a regular tail like other ponies, its a Lioness tail! And she has huge ears. Why all these odd factors? Because for one, I don't like to be normal, normal is overrated, not to mention I'm not exactly your run of the mill adults. I embrace adventure and childhood, and I still love my style of artwork, even if it includes odd lion tails in just about every piece I do. Therego some may like my OC design...some don't, but there's motive to her design and why I made her the way she is. - She wears goggles because I wear glasses and if I had my way, my real glasses would be reading goggles! - She has big ears because in RL, I don't...they are small and my hearing is somewhat questionable, always has been since I was 3yrs. - She has the rainbow colors because it is my favorite color...its the color of peace, unity, magic, and above all, my many loves in my life. (In RPs I'm known as the Alicorn of Peace, but in the brony fandom or The Rift Cafe, I'm known as the Alicorn of Rainbows) - She has this bizarre tail because she was born that way, and in a bizarre case of destiny, her different attributes to her ears and tail make her more easy to relate to other intelligent beings in Equestria. Needless to say, I love my OC and supposedly others do too, and thats fine by me. What matters at the end of the day is if YOU love your OC.

Bliss nodded to Clover and try to shrug off the emotions, besides she could see just moments later that Hurricane was smiling down on them, so that at least gave her a hint that 'they were ok'. The group trudged on to the top, the path seeming to grow less and less of a path as they headed upward...not to mention getting colder as well... As an hour ticked by, she couldn't see the path at all anymore...it had decayed into nothing but rock, snow and ice...and the winds and snow fall was even worse. Her legs quivered as she followed the others upward to the point once again she was trailing behind the others. Just struggling to stay warm and keep up...but she was now ten feet behind everypony... "Ah...." She groaned as she shivered, but bit her lip and tried to go faster...But the abrupt attempt made her slip on a rock, forcing her to fall on her belly. A savage sneeze eluded her nose...but she struggled back to her hooves...By the time she was upright, she could just faintly see Clover and Everlast ahead...slowly disappearing into the snow. "Come on Bliss...it's...just a little blizzard..." she took a step after them... "just sss-snow...just snow...*SNEEZES* just...snow..." She stood her ground, not even realizing that she completely lost sight of the group...Too cold and shivering as she desperatly tried to warp herself up in her cloak.

@@Eloquence, @, Bliss blinked in slight shock at Star's claims, then looked at Eloquence, then back to him again. "I'm...sorry to hear that...maybe um..." She didn't like making drastic changes in her plans, especially without telling her husband of the fact either, but still... "Maybe if you like, you can spend it with my family. We always have loads of food on the table and presents. It's never a dull moment there. I'm sure they'd love to have you! Not often we get a unicorn hanging with us on special occassions."

@@Bada3oom Box, "I AM NOT LIGHTNING BLISS!!!" Bellowed Blight as she charged in the blink of an eye, too fast for any normal pony to see, as she slammed her bat wing into Boom's neck, crashing them into the wall, outside of the castle, where she then flipped up into the air, and slammed her back legs into Boom's stomach, sending her...once more, crashing back into the castle, next to Atlas. "Lightning Bliss...*spits* cursed being that imprisoned my true self...She's nothing like me in the least...you pathetic excuse for a vampire!" She flew through the hole Blight's body made, and light touched the ground, grinning at her handy work on the smaller female vampire. "It's true... She did have spite against you...but that was actually wearing down." Blight bragged to Boom, tweaking at the false Princess's confidence, "In fact she began to belive she deserved to die after the way she treated you...and viewed our kind. In those small moments between life and death, she missed her husband dearly....but yet was willing to give her life so you and our people could have ours back....Yet here you stand...mocking my former counterpart...Oh," she giggled a bit and took a step forward. "I mean laying there...mocking her good name." She spat again and stomped the ground, making it crack underneath her as another lighting bolt struck the castle. "Good name...her name will be marked from all texts by the time I'm through with Equestria! The only thing that stands in my way now are you...and your precious little servent there," she smirked to Atlas. @@arkman575, Suddenly her large ears perked up as she heard the familiar howl of her maker...Turning with a sarcastic grin...she spotted Lust, just climbing up the edge, seeming to be back in control of his body. "Oh nice timing there Master...." She grinned and walked up to him, "as you can see...I'm in full control of the situation...Lightning Bliss..." she turned to Boom and Atlas sinisterly, "IS DEAD! THERE IS ONLY LIGHTNING BLIGHT NOW! QUEEN OF ALL VAMPIRES!!!" She suddenly grabbed Lust by the scuff of his neck with her long vamperic fangs, and violently tossed him at Boom and Atlas with realitive ease. She grinned at the sight of her former master, being so easy to throw to the side, and approached the three vampires. "Fool...You think I'd go back to following your ways Lust? You think I wanted to stay your pretty little alicorn vampire mistress? So you could rule our kind?" She gave out a hearty laugh that echoed throughout the land, "I only used you Lust...Seth...whoever I'm talking to...I merely toasted your ego...and faked my loyalty...so that the prophecy could be forfilled....You helped me to rid myself of my counter part Lightning Bliss! And now you are of no further use to me..." She stood tall and proud, already basking in her victory. "I will not stop...till Equestria is gushing with blood...till there is NOTHING LEFT IN THIS WORLD!!! Only then...will I have any satisfaction in this new life! May you all be the first victiems of a new era in vampires...Where I will lead our people to feed as much as we wish...There will be no stallion, mare or foal...who does not fear our kind...And will not be safe from my fangs...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!" The psychotic vampire fluttered up in the air, raising her blood hooves to the sky as more lightning bolts struck down.

@, @@Pripyat Pony, Bliss blinked in confusion which quickly turned to guilt as she watched Hurricane fly up ahead of the others. A burst of wind flew up Bliss's cloak, making her stop for a moment to cover up and shiver with annoyance...She was getting tired...and the day was growing darker. "Did...*shivers* did I say something wrong Clover?" Bliss asked the gray alicorn next to her, "I did'nt mean to be offending..."

@, @@Eloquence, "I wish my father would be here on Hearth's Warming Eve...he died when was younger, when I was still a pegasus..." She pawed the ground she laid on for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject back. "I have my pets, and my husband Nights Hoopla. In theory we would start our own Hearth's Warming Eve traditions but...since we don't have children of our own...Most likely he and I will travel down to Appleloosa to spend with my mother and stepfather, Gentle Feather and Shy Hammer. More likely my sisters and brothers will come down for the holiday as well. Least I hope it will!" She spotted a lovely looking lily flower, and happily levitated off its stem and swallowed it whole. "Why do you ask DarkStar?" She added in with Eloquence, "you have plans?"

@, @@Pripyat Pony, "Gah!" Bliss whinnied as a small icy rock came loose under her hoof, making her slip some. It startled her enough to kick off the ground and flutter up to land and sandwich Hurricane between Clover and herself. "Ahem, sorry, slipped erm..." She blushed feeling she got too overly excited from the scare. "But Clover is right," she chimed in, "there's nothing regal about me at all. I was a pegasus pony in Clousdale, raised in Appleloosa. Far as I knew I was a regular, dirt back, run of the herd pony who loved animals, to draw, and pick apples with my family in the orchird...That is before I got lonely and wanted to seek out my true love. Who'd of thought following that need...that goal...that dream...would lead me to this...long pointy thing on my dang head!" She tapped her horn, giving off an annoying impression. "Let's just say, as its well known by now, magic didn't come naturally to me and it still doesn't! Nor do becoming a royal either...Clover may have had it easy with Princess Celestia, but not me. She expected me to move out of the cave me and my Hoopla were living in above Ponyville and stay with her and Luna in Canterlot, where I'd have better protection, proper magic training, and be able to 'forfill' my diplomatic duties as Equestria's Princess of Peace." She shrugged and snorted. A unintended line of snot flew out of her left nostril, turning to ice near instantly and disappeared onto the ground. "I wanted nothing of it, I wanted to live my life as a normal pony in society. I just got married! I wasn't ready for any of this!" She flapped her wings, getting enraged the more she thought about it. "But Princess Luna managed to calm us both down and come to middle grounds. So Princess Celestia showed me a spell, which granted the ability for all leaders in Equestria to be able to send scrolls through my horn, so they can contact me on any treaties or diplomas for peace, while I can still remain at home. Only travel when needed. And my Nights Hoopla, my sweet husband..." she sighed as she went on, "He was made my personal private royal guard. He's both my lover and body guard. Quite honestly the best one any royal could have I suppose. Can't exactly challenge a draconequus easily and win." She grinned a bit, "But still...Celestia expects me to show up for some royal events here and there...I never do like it...It's a life style I fight every day."

@, @@Eloquence, Bliss giggled as the bird perched itself on its owners hoof as she turned to DarkStar and spread a gentle smile. "It's alright to talk about the past if it still hurts you DarkStar," she added in after Eloquence finished, "my mother always told me that talking about what makes you sad, helps to get it all out. That way, more happier thoughts can move in to fill up that space. So by all means, get it all out. I hope once you do, you'll start to feel better." Feeling the need to be just as eased as Eloquence, Bliss rolled to her side, then scratched her back against the grass like pigs would do in the mud. Yawning quite boastfully, she flipped to her other side and shook her mane, now it sticking here and there with blades of grass tangled in her rainbow highlights. "Maybe one day though you may find that perfect pet?" She added in hopefully, "that perfect pet that can keep up with your lifestyle and emotions."

@, @@Eloquence, Bliss followed the two into this secret little wild garden and took in its sweet aroma. This indeed was a relaxing place and she was going to lay and soak in every inch of it. She laid down a few feet from the other two on a fluffier patch of grass sniffing a rose next to her while she listened to the other two talk. Upon conclusion of Eloquence explaining how she came to know of this place, and her so called pet, she couldn't help but giggle. "I see...so this is where you found your little bird friend?" She smiled to the beauitful humming bird as he looked to be trying to find an old nest of his. "I don't have a unique story about my pets, other then I lost three of them some time ago due to age. But my other three, well I adopted them from a local animal shelter, or home I should say...The pony was Fluttershy. She rescued two of my pets from a ravenous fat serpent when they were too sick to flee. She just SWOOPED IN and snatched them up! Quite the hero she was." She fiddled with the ground a little. "My pets are actually rats. My cute little pocket animals." She smiled.

@@Bada3oom Box, @@arkman575,@@Firehearted, ** EVIL LAUGH ** The meniacal laugh rose from the sacrifical table behind the two vampires, surrounding the entire castle, all the way down to its base where even Seth could hear...It vibrated the entire fortress, making it shake just a bit enough to make a few frangements fall off. "FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!" Shreeched a violent demonic female voice....The sound darken the sky...the red moon suddenly blocked by undetermined evil black clouds...as light began to strike down on the castle. "You have forgotten the rest of the propehcy!" The transformation now completed...Blight rose from the table and hovered upward higher then Boom or Atlas...A menacing light gray, tall alicorn that rivaled the heigh of Princess Celestia...Her fangs like daggers pointed out of her mouth at the ready...Her eyes red with blood...and her enlogated bat wings spread outward like a dragon's pair...Her red hilighted mane and tail, glittered with every lightning strike...She was both menacing and beautiful at once. "Have you forgotten the legend? That when the life of an innocent little alicorn...like Lightning Bliss...is taken...That the vampire responsible would bring forth the LORD OF ALL VAMPIRES!!!" Her shriek echoed, sending a blast of wind at Boom and Atlas, throwing them off slightly. "And as lord of vampires...I shall remove this false ruler who so dare claims herself as Princess of our kind...and take the rightful place as QUEEN of Vampires!" Her laugh started up again as she hovered in front of them, before coming closer to boom, and menacing grabbing her face, holding it firmly with one hoof, while stroke her cheek with the other. "Quite honestly..." Blight spoke menacingly and seductively to the smaller flying vampire pony, "I should be thanking you...If you haven't killed my better half...I would have never been freed...Quite sad really isn't it?" She put on a fake whimper before continuing, "There I was encaged in that flithy innocent mind of a Princess while you roamed free in this world...The sad part is, is that propehcy demands blood...That the only way for me to thank you...is to kill you...quite sad isn't it? We could have been sisters but..." She suddenly with great tremendous force, slammed Boom's face into the floor with her hoof, standing dominantly ontop of her head's pray, "I'm afraid that's not in the story little vampire princess..." Her predator eyes then darted to Atlas...and she grinned with lust...then in a sickening, guilty means of attacking the male vampire...her voice changed to what sounded like Lightning Bliss. "Why Atlas...why did you do this to your Princess Lightning Bliss? You see what you have made her into? Can you feel the guilt of what you done to her, coursing in your belly? What have you allowed to happen? Must be awful for you...." She grinned before reverting her voice back to normal, "Now see what your actions have caused...See your pathetic vampire princess die!" She let go of Boom, and reared up readying for a fight...

@, @, @@purple.teal, As the others walked passed her, seeming confident as they treked the mountain trail slope...the wind seemed to push and nip at her flanks to proceed as well...but it only sent a shiver down her spine. Her lioness tail tucked under her flanks with a sense of dread and cold as she looked up from her friends, all the way up a mountain trail that never seemed to end. A thought corssed her mind that maybe she could simply fly over the beastly mountain tops...but form the look of the snow storm going above them...she knew her wings would be shreaded or frozen solid by ice... She gulped down her fear and slowly and shivering all the way...followed the others, taking up the rear. "Well...here goes nothing..." she murmured to herself as she trotted up behind the others. The howling wind of the mountain tops following them all upward.

@, "Wait...please wait!" Bliss turned and fluttered over to Dark, blocking his way, spreading her wings out to block further for insurence. "I don't want this night to end like this...It's not exactly been a...best night ever for anypony here I think..." She sighed and folded her wings down. "If you want to leave I won't stop you, I just wish...there was a better way for us to depart...then like this..." She pointed to Dark then to herself and Eloquence. "Feelings of regret and dispair...remorse and...misunderstood." Her large ears gave way and flopped next to her cheeks, "Is there nothing we can do to make up for this evening before we go back to our normal lives?"

@@purple.teal, "I don't think we have long wait for trouble Mr.Everlast..." Bliss suddenly stopped next to the others and pointed at what was not more then awhile away in their path. A series of large snowy mountains. Their tops were so high up in the atmosphere that they couldn't be told how high they went due to what seemed to be a constant blizzard going on above them. "We...really have to climb that?" She gulped and turned to Everlast and the others. "Did Star Swirl the Bearded really take this exact same trek?"
