The Story:

Siege of Canterlot - Part One:

It is a few years after the events at the Canterlot Wedding, and Chrysalis has been wasting no time in regrouping her armies and growing in power. As the numbers of her minions grow, there is only one thing holding them back from attacking: That is, lack of sustenance. Being creatures that feed off love is problematic when there is no love nearby to feed on....

 

...That is, until Chrysalis learns how to convert other emotions, such as fear, into a form of energy they can consume to sustain themselves. Armed with this newfound knowledge, Chrysalis finally gives the order to begin advancing towards the great city. They begin the siege, destroying the entire lands around the city, ever feeding, ever growing off the fear induced in their victims. That is, until they finally see the city on the horizon.

 

Defense of the Citadel - Part Two:

Word of the siege had reached Canterlot mere days before the coming attack. Every able bodied person was expected to assist in the defense and preparing for the siege. The young, the infirm, and the female population were evacuated through the Crystal Caverns deep beneath the Citadel. Above ground, preparations are made in earnest: A new Arcano-Technology had been developed to help in the defense of the city should an army attack again, in the form of a city-wide shield generator. The defenders had complete faith in the generators, that they would be able to channel their magics into them, and they would keep them safe

 

...However, they hadn't accounted for the changelings' abilities to feed off fear in addition to love, meaning that the shield would not be enough to withstand the force of the swarm.

 

Next Day Aria - (or whatever I feel like calling it. I keep changing my mind) - Part Three

When the swarm came, in numbers they hadn't imagined, the fate of the defenders was unanimously realized. Their only hope was to delay the failing of the generators long enough for their loved ones to make an escape.

Shining armor, the captain of the guard, of course, stayed behind to ensure that his beloved bride had that kind of time. The problem is, Cadence was expecting him to follow her through the caverns after they won the war. That day never came.

 

 

 

 

 

Lyrics are as follows:

00:14
Shining Armor
You told me not to cry
But it's so.... hard...
Ev'ry day that passes by
Tears some more at my heart

00:37
Shining Armor
I know you meant your best
When you stayed behind
Without your heartfelt sacrifice
We might not have had the time

00:58
But it still hurts
Waking up without you here
Even spells can't quell the fear
That I might not get to see your face
Or fall asleep held in your
Embrace

1:25
Ever again
Or hear you tell me
About your hopes, your fears, your dreams
But although it's been so long
My hope still runs strong
So I'll keep searching on...

1:46
My Wings
Will carry our weight
No matter how much they ache
And I'll never stop
Searching the world
For signs of your escape...

2:10
And if darkness would come
And claim the hope that spurs me on
I'll spend all of my days
Waiting for
The one who made my life
A life worth fighting for

 

Now before listening to the actual song, keep in mind that I don't have a professional grade microphone yet, so this is technically unfinished. I do realize that the part where my voice comes in is soft, but havnt had the time to edit it. I'll edit it in a bit, Just tried my hand at singing it, So I'm unsure if I want to try to re-record it when I get a good mic, or commission a female singer to sing it for me. We'll see. For now, get what you've been waiting for right here, and please feel free to leave feedback both on my lyrics and on my voice:

Thanks, I love to sing, but I never really felt I was any good. Decided to put myself out there to find out for sure how much work I need to do on my vocals

Not bad. I really almost shed a tear at the magnificent voice.
