Prisoner in the Mountain
THE CANTERLOT SERIES
– Ponies with Sonata Arctica [Click here for the accompanying song]  Prisoner in the Mountain

Can you hear the music and laughter, as everyone has gathered to your wedding?
Can you see them dance as they celebrate your brightest day?
Can you hear them cheer, when you're dancing with your loved one?
A beautiful bride for the gallant groom,
Can you feel the happiness beating inside your heart?
No, you cannot.
For this is only a dream…

"Wake up."

a) A Bride without a Wedding

Opened my eyes, but no world unfolds
Am I blind, where are all the lights gone
Underneath I feel the floor made of cold stone
You wench,
Song of Star-Swirl
MY LITTLE POEM
– Ponies with Therion [click here for the accompanying song] Song of Star-Swirl

In principio mundus inquietus erat
Vis magica liber sine magistro volabat

Woken the world from the primordial sleep
Woken the force from the abyssal keeps
Dancing waves of magic over the world
Lawless force obeying no mortal soul

In olden times, times of the tribes
His gaze turned to the stars:
Apprentice for the guides of sky
Gave new names to the laws

O pastor equinorum
Scientia magi caela aperit

Star-Swirl of the shrouded past
Learned the meaning of might
Bending force under his mind
Rewrote the magic's laws

Within a tol
Wake the Spring
The Equestrian Year

The southern wind whispers in my ears
Warming breeze greets me, carrying the season’s end
Queen of snow gives away her crown, her veil
Gives up her throne for her sister spring…

May ice and snow melt
It’s time for flowers to bloom
May sunrise light new day
…Time to end winter gloom

Hundred nights and days we’ve watched the world in snow-white veil
We have had the winter cover long enough for holidays
Hearths have warmed, lanterns have lit throughout the nights of frost and dark
Time has come to start
With the Wings of a Dreamer
MY LITTLE POEM
– Ponies with Amorphis [click here for the accompanying song]  With the Wings of a Dreamer

Above me I see the sky
I observe its wonders
My heroes' paths which to follow

I'll walk on the highest clouds
Where the rainbows were created
Not carried on back
But by my own strength

One day I will fly…
One day my wings embrace the sky…
I'll ride the wind and rise high to the clouds
I'll rise and make my path
My mark on the Heaven's Vault…

Dreaming I plan my ways
The deeds I'll fulfill
When older I can reach the sky

Determined growing heart
Will train for the future
Friends by my side
My wings wi
A Star Without a Stage
Cold, something that the mare hated. She also hated the wind and being outdoors in autumn. Most of all though, what the mare hated was herself or at least what she once was. As she gazed down at the reflection in the partially frozen pond, she couldn't help but see it. In the violet eyes of her very own reflection she saw what once was. She was once a showmare, a star, something she could be proud of, yet, here she sat, with nothing left to her name except her cape and hat, which were set aside while she gazed into the frozen water. It was painful to think about as she recalled everything, every last detail of her life as a showmare.

Preparations"What do you mean she isn't coming?"

Lightning Dust was, understandably, upset over this news. She stood at the entrance to the main tunnel leading into the changeling hive, the air within cold and damp, and served as a stark contrast to the dry and hot air of the wastelands surrounding it. Her anger was directed towards the one who stood by her, Sombra. Under normal circumstances, he might have been rather upset that one of his subordinates was speaking to him like this. However, he was rather annoyed by the news himself.

"Chrysalis' command was clear. She will not be joining in the battle. However, you and I have command of hundreds of ch
The Royal ArrivalA purple unicorn lied in her bed. A small purple and green dragon came up and jumped on her. “Wake up Twilight!” the small dragon said. The purple pony known as “Twilight” moaned and turned the other way. “Twilight come on, today is the day that we get to see the new princess!” The little dragon exclaimed. Twilight jumped out of bed. “Today is the day?!?!” she said in an happy tone. “Yeah!” The dragon said. “Yay! It couldn’t have come any sooner!” Twilight said smiling. “Yeah, but we have to get up now and get there before the rest of Equestira does!” The dragon said as he hopped down from Twilight’s bed. “Spike, who else is coming?” Twilight asked. “Um let’s see……Aha here we go!” Spike said as he got a paper. “Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, Mrs. Cup Cake, Cheerlie, Mr.Carrot Cake, Bon Bon

THE CANTERLOT SERIES
– Ponies with Battlelore

[Click here for the accompanying song]

By Your Side, Forever and Ever



Greed now rules the spoils of war.
Queen has set her throne on the royal hall (the ruins of the realm)…

I have walked through the dark…
I have fought my way out of her prison.
I have witnessed the war…
I have found my love wrapped in oblivion.

The eldritch swarm over our world,
My shining one, where have you gone?
Devourer's claws hold on your heart,
My shining love, where are you lost?

Broken harmony, its protectors fell…
Imprisoned their kin, in repressed tears (the realm of peace)…

From beasts he swore to shield his home,
My shining one, the guardian.
Wake from the queen's dormant veil,
Within your heart resides our hope.

In despair we need your gallant strength,
My shining one, reclaim your shield.
I'll support your task, my love undying,
My shining love, it never fades.


Spark from dust, in heartfelt grown:
They're breaking the ravening,
Disbanding her swarm.

Collect the shards of hearts tread down:
Light the reclaimed,
Rebuild the land of peace.

Where false love has faded away:
Its stains have now withered,
We cleansed its markings.

The sincere love guides us home:
Its ties sworn genuine,
They're shining in the end.

LISTEN THIS SONG WITH THE POEM FOR MAXIMIZED EXPERIENCE [link]

Here it is now. The dramatic ending for The Canterlot Series, “By Your Side Forever and Ever”, based on Battlelore’s Doombound.

And man, I couldn’t be more satisfied. I had originally planned this to be an upbeat, romantic and sappy duet between Cadance and Shining Armor in contrast to the previous downer part, but I couldn’t find a song that would have worked for it. After a while I had settled upon Within Temptation’s “Angels” – and the more I worked on it, the more I hated it. It was contrived writing at its worst.

Then one night I gave up and started searching for options again, and I finally had the epiphany with the Tolkien-metallers: the doom-harking riffs, bittersweet vocals, ethereal atmosphere and gorgeous melodies. It offered an ending that worked both in bittersweet ambiguity, tender romance and epic climax.

Instead of the duet I originally planned, this one became a gender-flipped hymn for love; instead of the shining knight singing of his fair maiden, the maiden sings of her knight at the darkest of hours. And the rest is history.

I wrote this poem in one sitting and deleted the stub WT crap.

Dude, Andrew Francis and Britt McKillip should totally sing this for fan projects based around this! If not, then maybe others whose voices are similar to theirs could work.

Feel free to spread the word if you know any musical talents eager to make it come true :iconpinkiesmileplz: I'd totally like to see it happen, but I'm not musically talented myself nor really know any such people in the fandom.
