The Twins of Insanity

While Marie was working with Talex, Medusa had spent all night examining the DNA of the foal she chose at birth.

“Interesting. You seem to be like your father. That means more testing for you,” she said to the colt as it lays on the table asleep. “Crona! Get a nameplate ready for this little one's room,"

"Y-yes Lady Medusa," Crona said as it rushes off to get the name plate. As Crona comes back with a nameplate and an engraver. "Ha-have you chosen a name for him Lady Medusa," Crona asked getting ready.

"Yes. His name will be, Servious," she declared as Crona began to engrave it into the nameplate almost immediately. Medusa then takes the foal into a dark room and puts him into a crib.

"Crona. You will keep watch over the foal. I have already created enhanced milk to enhance his skills," she says as she puts a blanket on Servious.

"Yes, Lady Medusa," Crona said as it puts the name plate on the door.

"I'll begin the experiment with his DNA tomorrow. Understood, and also put him to sleep," Medusa asked Crona. Leaving the room to go to bed.

"Y-Yes, Lady Medusa," Crona said obediently. Looking at the foal with caring, but frightened eyes. Crona then trotted to the crib and tucked the foal in.

"Maybe in the future he'll have to face us and we can devour his soul," A voice called out in the darkness.

"N-no Ragnarok. I don't think I could deal with hurting the foal," Crona said as it left the room.

"So," Ragnarock asked bursting out of Crona's back in a mass of black liquid, taking shape of and solidifying as a large, muscular black stallion, with a white X on his face with an eye on each side that have little black Xs, a medium black spike on each shoulder, two spiked metal bands on each wrist, three large grey spikes on his neck (one on each side and one on the back), a large metal band around the right front leg, white hooves, starting at the bands on the wrists, with four black lines going down them. "We'll have to fight him sometime," he said knowing he was right, pushing on Crona's nose. "Now let's get to bed. I'm exhaused," the large stallion said as he absorbed back into Crona's back.

"You're right, sadly," Crona said as it closes the door behind it, heading towards it's own room.

The following day Medusa takes a sleeping Servious and puts him under a sleeping spell as she begins a very long experiment to change the DNA structure of the foal.

"Excellent. You could be my first success, if you actually turn out to my estimated claims. It would be a long time to handle a stain your size," Medusa said as she cleans up the incision scars. "You'll wear these to resemble your father more. Can't leave any evidence leading back to me," she said as she breaks the spell and put's the foal back into his crib.

Back at Marie’s house there’s a small welcoming party for Talex.

“Oh he’s is so cute,” a mare told Marie.

“Thank you. He’ll be a great stallion when he grows up. I just know it,” Marie said as she moved to a mirror. “What do you think sir,” she was speaking to a tall jagged like creature with a skull face looked down to the child and it’s body made a boing sound.

“Of course Marie! Bring him by the DWMA when he’s shown whether he is a weapon or a meister and we’ll get him enrolled,” The figure said.

“Thank you sir,” Marie said as she nuzzles Talex.As the party dies down Marie sees that she has to go to the market to get groceries. “Stein. Could you watch Talex while I go out,” she asked getting her purse.

“Sure. If you don’t mind I’d like to get a blood sample from him. In case he gets sick,” Stein explained.

“Of course. I’ll be back soon,” Heads out and straight to the market.

“Alright little one. Lets learn about you,” Stein said as he took a small blood sample from Talex’s hoof, quickly drying the spot as he looked at the blood and takes Talex out of his blanket, to examine him. “Arrows? How did you get these? Only pony I know with arrows is… oh you got to be kidding me,” he said as he wraps Talex back up and holds him. “You’re my son. I should explain this to Marie whenever she comes back,” Stein says to the colt, who looks up at the stitched up stallion and smiles giggling. “You have her eyes. Let’s hope hope you don’t turn out like her,” he said cradling the colt gently.

The door opens as Marie enters with a few bags of groceries.

“I’m home,” she said as she looks at Stein as she closes the door. “Awwww. How adorable. It’s like you’re his daddy,” Marie said jokingly as she goes to put the groceries away.

“Uh, well. Marie, can I have a word with you,” Stein asked petting Talex on the head and the little foal giggles.

“Okay,” Marie said as she sits next to Stein and holds Talex.

“You see. I have reason to believe that Talex might be my son,”

“What,” she asked. “Do you have any proof,” Marie asked again.

“His hair color is the same as mine, I have to do a DNA test, and give you the result soon,”

“Ok,” she said as she smiles and nuzzles a giggling Talex.

“Well I’d best get going. Have some testing to do,” Stein said.

“Alright. Be careful on your way, ok,” Marie said as she cradles Talex calmly.

“I will. Don’t worry,” he said as he headed out the home towards his own.
