Yes, some intense battling went on in the last chapter, and Circuit hooves may have killed Trixie. So let us have a look at this chapter and see what happens. Cause that is why you're on this page, isn't it? oh and yes I updated in the night. So what? you seen it in the morning havent you?
The ponies went ecstatic as I won, but I did not care, I rushed over. Her brain was still active I could sense her thoughts but not read them. I flipped her over, there were even more burn marks all over her body. I put my ear to her chest. Her heart had stopped pumping blood. I immediately begin CPR. I tilt her head in such a way were her tongue wont fall back into her throat. Use magic to seal her snout, and then start to breath into her mouth. When I do, the crowd falls silent for a moment then somepony said. "Why are you making out with her while she's unconscious?" I break the seal to begin pumping the heart. "Shez not unconscious, her heart has stopped!" I yell. The ponies immediately start reacting, but I cared less what they did. I count the pumps. "Von, two, three, four." I move back to breathing into her mouth. Her chest rises, and then falls. Twilight came on stage with spike on her back, she looks at her burns. I put my ear to her chest, still not pumping. I then start pumping her heart again. "Five, six, seven, eight." I then Breath into her mouth again. She coughed, her eyes opened half way. "What… What happened?" She said very weakly looking into my eyes. "I almost killed you vith zat last spell. Vell actually, I did." I said with concern. "You did?" she said again, she coughed again. Twilight then said to her with great worry in her voice. "I really never thought I'd say this but, are you okay Trixie?" "How did I come back?" "I Performed CPR on you." I say. She coughed a little more. "You… saved me?" She said weakly again. "Why? I… insulted you… and your uncle." "Just because you said wrong dozn't mean your worth any less a being as anypony here. You and I both did wrong and I wanted to set it right." She gained a bit more of her strength back and she put a hoof on my cheek. "Thank you." The negative energy went away at that moment. The same thing happened when I stopped that argument, the energy bypassed my MSC and it felt controllable. Something was happening with me.
I don't know how, but it seems each time I help some pony I get a feeling in my heart, and when it passes. I get more controllable energy. Like each time, the energy is being transformed into stable energy. But this never happened anywhere else when I was at any other place.
Two white ponies, one with a red cross the other with a syringe came with a stretcher and took Trixie away. I walked off the stage. There were no ponies around anymore. They must have left to get the medics. I was walking with Twilight on my way back home, we talked.
"You saved her life." She said. "Yes, I'm aware of zat. "You realize that everypony who was there witnessed you killing her." "Yes." I say. "That means they think you're capable of killing, if they think that, they might do something about you." She said with concern. "Yes, but they have to consider zat I saved her too." "No pony stayed around for that, though." That's what got me a little worried. I stopped "Vell, zat is a concern." I put a hoof below my chin. "But if they see she iz walking around soon, they'll know she's alive. After all zey saw me starting CPR." "They did, but they don't know if she came back." My stomach growled, which reminded me that I left my sandwich at the stage. She heard my stomach. "You haven't eaten yet?" She asked. "I tried, I had a sandvich but I did not get to take any bites." Spike laughed a little at my next growl. "Well, it sounds like you haven't eaten in ages." My stomach started sending messages of pain up to my brain. "It is close to diner time, how about you come to my library and I'll make you some soup." "Zat sound fantastic." I look over to Spike who had been quiet for a good amount of the trip. "Hey Spike, when we get back zere iz some pony I want you to meet." "Really? Who?" Twilight looked at me with a questioning look on her face. "Are you sure you want him to meet her?" "Her? She is a she. Who is it? Tell me!" He said with excitement. "You're going to have to wait Spike." I say to him. "Hey can I ride on your back?" He asks me. "Why?" "It's a better view." I look at twilight, she nodded. "Okay Spike hope on." We stop and I kneel down. I never had anything ride on my back before, or any dragon for that matter. When his leg bumped my side, it pulsed a bit with pain. "Ah." I say in the slight pain. "Oh, right. "Said Spike. He moved his leg to over my metal. "When you fought her…" Twilight started. "I sensed your energy, get stronger every second you fought her." "But when you did that cluster shock spell, it did something else. It launched multiple bolts of lightning from your horn rather then a cluster of small shock balls. They all hit her at the same time." "Zat vould explain za burn marks." "Yeah, it just bothers me that if you start losing control every time you get angry. You're going to get yourself kicked out of town." I laugh a little. "I do plan on keeping my happy home, so I vont be trying to get mad anymore." "I also noticed something about you too Circuit. When your energy reduced itself back, it did not go all the way back. But where it stopped, it felt, safer then it did before." We get to the tree home. "Yeah, I noticed when I help somepony I feel just a bit of energy become controllable." "Really?" She said as she opened the door. I walk in, there were books lining the shelves all neat and tidy. "That is odd, maybe there's a reason for it. But it's not in my library." She said closing the door behind her. Spike jumped off my back. He said. "We are here now. Can I meet who ever you're talking about now?" He said with excitement. I laugh a little. "Okay Spike, just vait here okay?" "I'll start on that soup okay?" Said Twilight. My stomach growled again. "Please do." I say. I open and walk out her door and close it. I walk over to my house.
I open the door, I hear some pony come downstairs, it was Fire Ball. "There's Circuit hooves, the pony I was supposed to hang around all day until ma two hours came, which are here now." I reply. "There iz somepony I vould like you to meet." "Nope, done meetin ponies until 8:00pm, bud." She said. I'm trying to work Irish accent. "You'll like this pony, err being." "Bein?" "You're going to have to come to see what I'm talking about." She put a claw to her head and thought. "Well, since yall have gone and gottin me all interested, I'll go but only for a minute okay?" She walked next to me out the door when we get to the door, I say. "Just so you know, it iz going to be a surprise to you." "Aww, quit yer blubbering and open the door." She said with her arms crossed. I open the door and we walk in. Spike looked directly at Fire Ball but she was looking at me talking. "So what am I meetin here?" I smile and point at spike. "Wa…" She said as she copied Spikes stare. They looked at each other intensely for a moment, then Spike rubbed his eyes to be sure he was not imagining things. "Another… dragon?" He said slowly in disbelief. "What?" Said Fire Ball with the same disbelief. Fireball walked over and inspected Spike for a second, then she pushed him lightly. Spike said. "Hey!" "Yer not a figment of ma imagination…" "You're not either." Said Spike feeling the area of him she pushed. "I got this odd feeling in my chest." Said Spike. "It'z knowing you're not alone anymore Spike. From vat I knew, there aren't any dragons of your age left. Vell, here's von." I say. Spike shoke his head like he's shaking something off, after he stops he sticks a claw out. "Um, my name Spike." He said really messed up. "I mean, my name IS Spike. Um." Fire Ball giggled at his mistake in wording. "Nice to meet ya lad." She shoke his claw. "Ma name is Fireball sweetie." Spikes face lit up with a blush but I guess he wasn't aware of it.
Fire ball suddenly clutched her stomach then burped some red powder, The powder condensed in front of me and turned into a paper with words. I help it in front of me with magic.
Dear Circuit.
It's me Luna, just wanted to check in before I start my duties as princess of the night, they will be short. I just have to lower the sun and raise the moon tonight. So I'll have some free time to come see your inventing. Are you inventing tonight?
Luna.
"Fire Ball take a…" Then I noticed that Spike had a quill and parchment ready. I look at Spike giving a questioning look. "Spike what are you doing?" "What?" He said. "I did not ask you." I state. "Oh, sorry." He said passing the quill and parchment to Fireball. "That's okay sweetie stuff, I was about to let ya take it anyways." She said. Twilight came out and saw the letter. "Luna messaged you?" "Yes." I pass the note over to her while I say the words I want Fireball to write to Luna. "Dear, Luna. I do plan on inventing tonight, but right now I'm busy having dinner with Twilight Sparkle. So please vait before you come on over. I don't know if you heard me before you disappeared either, but I said my 'next' invention will be dedicated to you. Zis von is something I've been working on before I came here. But more zen likely you will like it. Circuit."
"She's coming to see you invent?" she said putting the parchment aside. "Yes, she said she might take za time to come see me at vork if she has time." "Send za letter Fire ball." She rolls it into a roll and she blows on it. The parchment catches on fire. "What are you...?" I walked forward but Twilight said. "That's supposed to happen." "Oh." The parchment turned into the same powder that came but it shot off out the window. "Then we wait until she writes back, when she does it comes out of her." Twilight points at Fireball "Does it hurt or anything?" I ask. "Naw, it just makes me have gas." She answered. "Oh, the soup is ready Circuit." "Perfect. What kind of soup have you prepared?" "Cream and mushroom soup." Ahh vun-" Suddenly Fireball belches another message. "Oh, vat does this von say?"
Dear Circuit.
I was wondering if you would like to do something else instead of invent tonight, perhaps instead I could show you the royal gardens. Or maybe I could take you to a late night café and you can tell me about your travels outside Equstria over some tea.
Luna.
"Huh?" I say questioning the change in plans. "What?" Said Twilight. "She wants to not watch me invent." "Let me see the note." I pass the note to her, while she analyses the note I try to think of a reason why she would want to change plans. Twilight told her everything I do in Respect of her. As well that I am loyal to her rather then Celestia. All I can think of is that she wants me to not invent. Why though? AWWWW, she wants to date him and hes so oblivious to it. Twilight put the note down and tried to think why too. Suddenly her eyes opened up wide like she realized the answer, she giggled. "Aww." "What?" I say. "You don't see it?" She said to me with her eyes closed in such a way were she tried to look like an attractive pony. "She likes you." "Vell I know zat, I am pretty much za only stallion in probably all of Equstria who still is loyal to her, she has to like me for zat fact." She giggles a bit more. "Twilight what is so funny?" Said Spike with the questioning look on his face. "Just he so oblivious." "To vat?" I say. I'm one of the smartest minds when it comes to technology that there is in Equestria. So if I can't figure out what's in a letter, there's something wrong here. "You don't understand the letter do you?" "She wants to change plans. That's what the letter says." "You can't read in between the lines, can you?" "I guess not, because apparently I'm missing something here." I say with a frown. She giggled again. "Circuit, she wants to date you." That got me confused. "Vat!? From what I know, royalty is not allowed to do anything with pheasants like us unless it is actual royal business. And I'm highly sure zat iz not za explanation for this!" "I'm not a pheasant, I'm a student from the royal city of cantorlot." She dropped her lovey dovey face and looked seriously at me. "You consider your self a pheasant?" She asked. "I consider my self regular class citizen, or pheasant." "If you do what you say you do, you are not a pheasant, your working class." Vat ever, Fire Ball." I look at her, she was stroking her finger under Spikes chin, who in return was staring into her eyes. She immediately put her hands behind her back and opened her eyes wide open looking at me. "What?" "Letter, chop, chop." I say, she speeds of some where in the library and comes back with a quill and paper. "Ready."
"Dear Luna, I do not understand vhy you vould vant to do something other zen vhat you said you vould do before. You said you vanted to see me invent, why not see me invent or resume progress on my previously incomplete creation?" Fire ball then rolls up the scroll, then sends it away. I spend the next five minutes pondering in my mind well I enjoy the soup. There is no way she would want to date a stallion. A princess is supposed to be with other royal subjects instead of pheasant, not to mention a unicorn with no experience with how things work with royalty that looks like me. I don't exactly give off a good vibe around other ponies or stallions. Not to mention I'm colorless other then my blood red eyes. Most don't say anything about me when I'm around.
During my stay in Flourshine I did ended up staying at this one mares apartment for a couple of months, I was coming back one day from getting milk and I could hear her talking to some pony. I listened in, the other pony was talking. It sounded like another mare. "That stallion that's been here the past few months, how is he treating you?" "He's okay I guess, but he's always up at night working on some stupid machine." "Does he sleep at all?" "Eventually, but a lot of the time I come into the apartment he still at his bench making some failing machine." "My word, does he ever look evil." I know, he even has those eyes that say I tear you to shreds if you look my way." "Have you asked him to find another place?" "I would but… I don't know why but, when he's around I feel safer." "Safer? He has a firkin huge energy field around him that feels like he's going to lose control any second. You call that safer?" "Yeah, but he means well. Nothing bad comes from that."
Twilight was talking. "Hey Spike." "Yeah Twilight?" "I need you to go get us some reading material. Try to find a couple mystery books okay?" " Okay." He got up and went to the ladder. "Hey Fire Ball. I thought you said you vould only spend a minute here?" I say with a smile creeping up. "I know what I said mate. But I think I'll stick around." Her eyes opened wide and she burped up another letter powder. It came directly to me. "Zis vill hopefully settle zis."
Dear Circuit hooves.
I probably should have made it more clear, I hade no idea you could be oblivious. I would like to know if you would like to go on a date with me, do you accept?
Luna.
I could not believe what I was reading. My eyes shot open from the shock. "VAT!?" I suddenly scream out it was so loud and surprising that Spike jumped off the ladder and fell down to the ground. But my mouth was full of soup when I spoke from the shock, so the soup spewed all over Twilight. Spike had a book in his hand so that came after and landed on his head. "Ow!" He said when he hit the ground. Twilight said. "Hey!" She said with the bits of mushroom on her fur. "Sorry just…" I black out.
"Son… wake up." My eyes open. I seemed to be in some sort of white room and there was a pony flying above my head. "What?" I say in confusion. "I'm supposed to be in Twilights library, how did I…" "You fainted after you readied that letter, my boy." The pony's coat was green. His mane was all messy and greasy looking. The mane was black and the tail reflected the mane. He wore round glasses. He was kind of chubby. "Who… are you?" "I'm your father." I look up to him while he's floating. I get up. "You're my dad?" "Yes boy, I come from the spirit world to tell you something important." He landed on the ground, I could see no cutie mark on his flank. "Why don't you have a cutie mark wait, how am I speaking perfect English?" "You're in your thoughts boy. You can speak however you want and I can still understand what you are saying. Also when you die, you don't get to keep your Cutie mark." "What do you want to tell me?" "You are going to do something special my child. You are going to save your friends from an old enemy of Equestria." "What enemy?" I ask. "The ones I could not win against." I realize what he's talking about. "You mean the changelings?" "Indeed my boy. But listen here. I have got one more thing to tell you before you wake up." I focus entirely on the next words he says. "You don't know it but there's a spirit inside you, it's what's giving you your power. It caused you to do what you did to those bullies. This spirit is doing its best to keep you protected, but it needs help from the Spirits of Harmony to know right from wrong. You need there help before it changes you into a pure energy ball of destruction to keep you safe." "There are no Spirits of harmony dad, just elements." "Oh but there is, your friend Twilight Sparkle is one of them, and so are the rest of her friends. You gain large quantities of controllable energy when you aid them in becoming closer. You will gain smaller amounts of energy when you help somepony." "Wait, how does that even work?" I ask. "There's no more time to explain son. I just want to say really quickly that your family is watching you and we're proud of the smart stallion you've become. I love you my boy, don't ever think other wise." I started to cry, my long wanted question had been answered. "Dad? Can I get a hug?" "Sure son." I walk over and wrap my front legs around him.
SPLASH! "Circuit! Are you okay?" The actions from my vision/dream were still clear in my mind. So I immediately react to the bucket of water being splashed on my head, with me lunging forward and hugging Twilight. The words were still there too. "Dad." I say, but then my conscious caught up with my head. This means I could see Twilight in front of my face. She was blushing. "Circuit?" She said with surprise in her voice. "Um, Twilight I..." I stutter. I release the hug and Start to explain what happened in my head.
When I was done, Twilight sighed and said. "Yes, he is right about the spirits of Harmony, I'm the spirit of magic." She said. My eyes open with surprise. I did read in a book of rumors once that there were spirits of the Elements, but it was rumors and I found nothing in that book to be true. The only thing it was right about is the different elements. Loyalty, Generosity, Laughter, Honesty, Kindness and Magic. In a way, it would explain the energy I sense on her to be the spirit of magic. But its rumors and it can't be true.
"He could be right about your energy." She said. "If it's a spirit of sorts and its trying to protect you, you may need our help." "How do I know zis is not a trick?" I say. "Would it be smart to trick you? Besides what would I gain from it Circuit?" She was right, what would be the point in trying to trick a mind she knows is intelligent and what would she gain from it? From what I observed from her friends, there group is a trustworthy one and there aren't any lies or deception. "True." I say in reply. "But before I even consider asking you for help, I vant proof zat you are za spirit of magic." It's better to be sure then guess. "Fine, Spike." She said looking over to spike who was now putting a bag of ice to the side of his head. "What?" "Get the tiara of magic." She said seriously. I then remember the reason why I fainted. "The letter!" I suddenly exclaim. I grab the letter and read it again to be sure that was not some sort of joke. It still said the same thing. "Ummmm." I say to myself, thinking if I should really go out with the princess of the night.
I had my heart set on Fluttershy, she was adorable and nice. She was very attractive in my mind. But on the other hand I had The Princess of the night Ready to date me, right here, right now and she must be a lonely pony not being appreciated in all. I'd almost be doing her a favor by going out with her, plus she's cute and very pretty. But not as much as I think Fluttershy is.
I made my decision, I Look around for a moment. Fireball was reading a book that was titled The Adventures of Daring Do. "Fireball." I say. She put the book down while it was open. "yah?" She replied. "Get a parchment and quill." She grabbed some from the table that she was reading at. "I'm ready for ya tu reply back." I began to talk. "Dear Luna, At first I vas not sure if I should go out vith you, you being a princess in all, I would not think you would show any interest in a stallion like me. I'm just a pheasant in your sister's kingdom and you are of royalty. But I decide if ve put aside the difference in where we are in our roles in society I'm sure we could make something vork. Yes I would like to go out vith you." "Ummm." Said Fireball. "Do ya think the fancy speech is necessary?" She said with curiosity. I thought for a moment. "Now zat I think about it, yeah, it's not. Just put down okay and will go to some café." I say. She writes down the words and sends the message. "Say Twilight. How long was I passed out for?" "Only about 2 minutes." Spike returned with this golden tiara with a purple gem in it. The gem was shaped like her cuite mark. I sensed the energy from it, it was massive It was at least double what Twilights energy was. That amount of energy could only come with the Element of magic. Twilight put it on her head. She closed her eyes. Suddenly, I felt her energy rise to an extreme level. So extreme that It actually matched mine when I wasn't wearing the MSC. Her eyes opened. Her pupils streamed with a pale purple light. She started to float in the air. Kind of like when I had that energy outburst on Grundo. She spoke. "Is this enough proof for you?" It was more then enough. "Yes, you've proving to me zat you are za spirit of magic." She smiled. Even thought it looked creepy with her eyes streaming with energy, she smiled. She did not feel threating. She felt more, friendly. She floated back down to the ground. Her eyes stopped glowing with purple light and she took the tiara off. She gave it to Spike who walked up stairs to what I assume, would be to put it back. I heard Fireball cough up another letter. The powder once again condensed and formed a letter in front of me.
Dear Circuit.
That's wonderful, I will bring you to me in a moment so be prepared.
Luna.
Suddenly I felt the energy around me, a dark blue sphere started to form around me. "See ya Tomorrow Circuit." Said Twilight. "Be sure Fireball goes home." I say to her. The ball forms around, it was so thick I could not see out of it anymore. It flashed a quick flash of blue and then the sphere started to dissipate around me. I started to make out were I was. It looked like I was in the castle again. But it was a different room. It had banners showing the royal crest. There was a single black coated stallion in the room, he looked at me with no emotion what so ever. His golden armor still shined in the moonlight. He spoke when the ball of magic disappeared. "Welcome to Cantorlot castle, Princess Luna is expecting you. Please follow me." He stepped out of place and stood in front of me. He then started to walk forward.
We went through several halls and lots of doors. We stopped at a door that had lunas cutie mark on it. I could sense her energy beyond it. And I was sure she could sense mine. "This is Luna's private quarters. You are under high enough clearance to enter under Princess Luna's words. Don't do anything stupid." He says neutrally. I could tell he was not happy with his night shift. Because when I opened the door, I could hear him say to himself under his breath. "Asshole."
When I walk in, I can see Luna's bed and a vanity mirror. This room screamed wealth as the mirror had many assortments of perfumes and lip sticks from around Equestria on the table in front or the mirror, some I even recognize from the different continents and small islands that some ponies do not even know about. Her bed was neatly made and had her cutie mark on the center of the top sheet. Her bed had four support beams at each side of them with a thin screen hanging down from the top. I could see that there was a balcony. Luna was there looking up at her stars. I walk over to the balcony door. When I open it she turns her head around to see me. She smiled. "Well, good to see you made it." "Vy vouldnt I?" I say to her. "I worried that you would not write back after I said 'date'." She said as I walked to beside her. I reply. "Vell, it vas a bit of a shock at first. But I thought it over." "Well I'm glad you did, look up into the starts." She asks. I do so. It was amazing.
All the constellations were visible with the Milky Way in view. I could see the blue speckle of another planet. The ponies say it's a star. But I know it's a planet. I had a machine that receives radio waves. I pointed it at the 'star' and I actually could hear something. Through all the static I could hear voices. They sounded like a male voice, I could make out some words hear and there. What ever it was, it was speaking English. It was choppy, but these are the words that were there. "Brothers… love… inter… peace… learn." I hope that some day I can get some better hardware and I can make out these messages better.
I knew she was reading my mind, but I cared less. "You think there is life out there?" She asks. "Of course, vy vouldn't zere be?" I say. "This machine you think of. Do you still have it?" She asks. "It sits in my basement, collecting dust now." "Maybe, I can help you find these extraterrestrials." I turn to her with a face of seriousness. "You really think you can help?" "I Have night time and space related abilities." She said. " I ask. "Does zat mean you can communicate vith zis planet?" "Well no, actually all I can do is send waves of solar energy out there. It's the only thing that actually reaches out that far. But it takes centuries for the energy to get there." I change the topic. "Hey, you know it's kind of sad no pony really cares too much about za night." I say. She sighs and closes her eyes. "It's essential to there life and I hear nothing of appreciation, not from any pony or stallion-" She opened her eyes and looked at me. "Except you, no other ponies or stallions I spend time around seem to truly care about the moon or the night, just the day time." "Its absolute rubbish that no pony else cares, if anything you should be just as respected as Celestia." I say very seriously. "Would you like to get started on the night?" She asks. "Sure." I reply.
She teleported me and herself to a small café. It was titled, The kettles droplet's. We walk in. When we do Luna gives me a small piece of paper. It had her cutie mark on it and had some writing on it. "It's so we don't have to pay them directly, but they will receive there money as a result of service of Luna." "What?" I say as what she just said made close to no sense to me. "It makes everything buyable off the menu free." "Oh, vell vhy didn't you say just zat?" I say. "I want a small cup of tea with two cubes of sugar, oh and tell them a plate of cheese biscuits." I walk up to the counter. The pony behind it looked quite young, like he just reached the age to work. He was reading something and he was right into to it as he did not see us walk up. He was not even looking up but his horn was lit up for hold the book in place. "Ahem." I say. His eyes shot up for a moment then go back down. "I'm on break." He says. Then his eyes opened wide for a second his pupils looked back up. He looked directly at me. His horn stopped channeling magic. "Your not robbing the café are you?" He said to me. "Uhhh, no. I here with your better, Princess Luna to eat from your menu." This pony was purple coated with a dark blue mane. His face had freckles and his mane and tail were both puffy. He looked behind me were he could see outside the window that Luna was sitting at on of the tables. "Her again?" he says. "What, she's been her before?" I ask. "She comes here once every week. Always alone though." He says. "Hey you over there!" Said a mare at the other side of the counter. "I can serve you." "Good." I say as I walk over. "So you're here with Luna?" She asks. "Yes and I have zis." I show her the paper. "Oh in that case what can I throw her way?" She asks. "She wants a cup of tea vith two cubes of sugar. Do you have cheese biscuits?" I ask. "Yep." She says. "In zat case, bring us a plate. I will have a tea vith some nutmeg and a cube of sugar." She writes down the order on a piece of paper. This mare is very skinny, she had a turquoise coat, and her mane and tail were both green with yellow streaks going through. She puts the piece of paper on the back room window. Some Unicorn takes it with magic. I walk out the door.
I take my seat across from Luna. She was still looking up at her cosmic palate. I talk. "You know, I always look up in za night sky and vonder vhy you put each star vere it iz." She looked down to face and said. "I hoped some pony would appreciate my stars, and there formations. I originally made the stars to help light up what my moon couldn't." she said. "I also made them to help with navigation." She said. "Vell it did help me a lot when I lived in za everfree forest." I say. "Oh?" She said. "I vas living in this settlement in the forest, Now I had only spent about two dayz so far and za ponies were not so friendly with me. I did nothing to make zem mad or anything. It is just I do not look very friendly. When you live in za everfree forest, you cannot act like a softy. So they did the craziest thing." "What?" She said now getting into my story. "There version of being allowed to live in the town vas going through zere tests, one was eating ten poison joke leaves." "My word! What did it do to you?" She asked with concern. "The only thing it did was change my fur color, My fur vas originally a light, pale blue. But when I was forced to eat the poison joke it drained the color from my fur and changed it to the color you see today." "Wow." She said. "there is a medicine bath for poison joke." She said "I know, but They didn't know at the time and not to many ponies do. But the effects of poison joke are permanent when ingested." "Well that's.. unfortunate." "After a day of trying to think of a way to change me back. The next test came, they put me in an arena. They gave me an iron sword and took my wings away. They opened a small gate at the other end…" I howl. "A bunch of timber wolves came out. I had to kill the timber wolves." "Did you?" She asks. A mare comes out with our teas and the plate of biscuits, she placed them on the table. "Thank you." She walked back into the café. "Anyvay, it's all I could do so the first one tries to flank me but I vas veary enough and when he jumped I swung my sword and I ended up cutting za top of itz head off. It liez dead vith itz blood on the sword. Next thing I know, one bites down on my left back hoof. I swing my leg very fast and it goes flying into the side of the arena. My leg vas bleeding and it hurts like hell!" "Wow, you could still fight through that?" "I had to! Otherwise, I would be shot on sight if I try to come back to zere town. However, that wolf came back growling as it tasted my blood and it wanted more. So when I had grabbed my hoof, the other Timber wolf jumped on my back and tried to bite the back of my neck. But I vas quick enough and I body slammed my back on the ground along with the timber wolf on my back. I heard it whine in pain. My weight was enough for it to stop it from breathing." She looked at me very concerned like. "Is zis story to violent for you?" I ask. "I've heard it all, it's just the way you describe it though." I take this moment in story to sip my tea, the flavor touches my tongue and it wakes me up momentarily. I resume. "The wolf I slammed into the wall, tried to jump on my stomach and rip my guts out but I still had my sword at hoof. I swung really fast and hard with my magic. It goes through its neck like butter BUDDER and its head collides with mine. But its head was separated from its body, so its blood was spewing all over me and all over the Timber wolf I was about to suffocate. I decide to let the timber wolf breath so I jump off my back and he runs to the other side of the arena. While it's trying to catch its breath, I'm regaining my bearings and get ready. I drop my sword." "Why?" "I'll tell you vhy, because it was part of za rules, I had to kill the last von vith my bare hooves. It looked at me with its angry eyes. I matched its own. We charged, I scream at it as I charged. We jump at each other I over powered it on the force of the jump. I hold it down and start hitting it fast with my hooves in its head. It starts to whine with hopes of mercy. I really wanted to give it that mercy. I did." I say with a sad look on my face. "Did you?" She asked. "I couldn't, I grabbed each side of its head, and then I snapped its neck." We were quiet for the next few minutes.
I think back to that day still, thinking I could have just given up there and then and told them screw you. But I needed a place and I was desperate.
"Did they let you stay after that?" "No. They told me I had still von more thing left to do before I proved my worth. They told me I had to be willing to do anything to keep myself alive. So they opened one other gate, za horror of vat zay vanted me to kill." "What was it?" She asked. "They wanted me to kill, a bunny." "What?" She said. "I know it'z not very strong. The only thing it could do was try to hop away. But it did not even want to come out off the gate. So some Unicorn shocked it with a spell and it hopped in. it tried to hop back but the gate closed before it could get away. It stood there against the wall trying to avoid me. I felt myself getting weak. I never wanted to kill something so defenseless. I eventually caught it, it was trying to hop away. I stood there with the blade to its neck. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I drop my sword to the ground and yell at them. So the kick me outside the walls with my wings and I used your stars and from what I know about the world, to find the town of flourshine." I finish and finally take a biscuit from the plate.
Luna had eaten a good amount of them during the story, when I bit it. It's soft and salty. The cheese added a nice texture to it. I sip my tea again. "Your past is very, unfortunate." She said. I sigh and say. "I know, sometimes I vonder if zis vas really intended for me to endure. But itz the path zat iz laid out for all of us, I was just given a harder one. It'z misshapen and has a good amount of obstacles, but I have overcome them and they have shaped me into me." "How was your childhood?"
WAM! Suddenly A figure came out of nowhere and tackled me into the air. Wooow!" I yell as I'm immediately shot into the air. I punch the mystery pony were I thought its gut was. It stopped and let go of me. I started flapping my metal wings. The moon light was not enough for me to see my attacker at this angle. But who ever it was, it growled and tried to plow into me. I flew up and it turned around. It was… a Changeling?!
"Vat za Frukon!?" I say. "FEEEEEEEEEEEEED" It gargles out.
Uh oh, Circuits in trouble. How in the name of Celestia did a Changeling get into Cantorlot? Why do I ask these questions when there too obvious to write down? Why do I sound like Discord all the time when I write author notes? That and more questions will not be answered in the next chapter! :D
