The Super Avatar of Equestria
Chapter 11
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI slowly woke to a weight on my chest. I open my eyes to see that the weight is Apple Bloom. I smile and pet her back. She wakes up with a yawn and a fore hoof rubbing her eyes. I smile even more at her cuteness.
“Morning Apple Bloom.” I tell her. She opens her eyes to see me.
“Morning Artermis.” She replies with another yawn. I give her a short but caring hug. She returns the hug, and jumps down to the floor. I sit up, and look around to see that I’m in Twilight’s house. Last night’s events came back to me.
“So why did you climb on top of me last night?” I ask Apple Bloom.
“I had a nightmare, so I came down here to sleep with you for comfort.” She tells me. I smile at her.
“As long as you need comfort, I’ll be happy to let you sleep with me.” I tell my daughter. She beams back up to me. I hear hoofsteps coming down the stares, and look up to see Twilight. She has bed mane, and is grudging towards the kitchen. I chuckle and straiten her main with a quick burst of air. She smiles at me, and then disappears into the kitchen. I look down at Apple Bloom and hear her stomach gurgle. I chuckle, and she giggles.
“What do you say to go to get breakfast with Cadence and Dash?” I ask the young pony. Her eyes light up at this.
“That would be awesome.” She tells me. I chuckle again and head for the door.
“Artermis, what about my stuff?” Apple Bloom asks. I face palm at almost forgetting, “And your sword.” I face palm again, and pick up my sword, strapping it around my waist. Twilight walks back into the room when I was thinking about Apple Bloom’s belongings.
“Hey Twilight, do you have any spells for weight reduction, and shrinking objects?” I ask the studious unicorn. She nods to me as she takes a sip of her liquid.
“Yeah, just let me finish my coffee, and I’ll use them on her bags.” She tells me. I nod.
“Do you want some extra energy for the day?” I ask as I pull my hand up and make ki sparks from my fingers. She shrugs.
“Sure, I don’t see why not. I have a rather difficult spell to do today anyways.” She tells me. I nod once more.
It was a few minutes before Twilight finished her coffee and was ready to use magic. She walks up to me, and I hold out my hand. She puts her hoof into my hand, and I start to give her ki. Her eyes widen as she feels my ki flowing into her body.
“What kind of energy is this? I was expecting chi.” She asks me. I chuckle as I stop giving her energy. I put my hand down.
“That was ki. It is the energy I use to fly and make giant blasts of power.” I tell her, “I figured you would like a kick to start your day.” She giggles at my last sentence.
“Well I have more than enough magic to do the spell I was going to cast today.” She tells me as she lights her horn. A beam of magic shoots out of Twilight’s horn, and hits Apple Blooms bag. The bag shrinks down to the size of a deck of cards. Twilight stops her magic and I pick up the tiny suitcase; putting it in my right pocket. I ruffle Apple Bloom’s mane. She giggles, and I restored it as I head for the door now. Apple Bloom eagerly following behind me.
“We’re heading out. See you later Twi.” I call to the unicorn as we left. The door closes behind us, and I start on the way to the statue of Celestia.
“So what are we doin’ today?” Apple Bloom asks me.
“Well, I plan on getting breakfast, then heading to get my new clothes from Rarity. Then head back to Canterlot.” I tell her.
“Oh.” She says a little saddened.
“Do you want to do something as well?” I ask her.
“I wanted to say goodbye to my friends.” She tells me.
“We can do that. I was guessing you wanted to that anyways. So while we’re at Rarity’s I’ll let you go with Sweetie Bell to find Scootaloo to say your goodbyes. Just make sure to be at the chariot before ten o’ clock.” I tell her. She nods, and we continue on our walk. I give waves and greeting to ponies who are friendly to me. Eventually we made it to the statue, and see that my mares are waiting for us.
“Hey girls.” I call to them as I stop in front of them, “Would you like to catch some breakfast?” I ask them. Cadence looks at me like I had forgotten something important.
“You adopt a child without my permission and then act like nothing happened?” Cadence asks me.
“You want to know what happened don’t you.” I ask her. She nods her head.
“Hold still this will only take a second.” I tell her as I reach my hand out to her head. She pulls away before I touch her.
“What are you trying to do?” She asks.
“I’m trying to show you what I saw by letting you into my mind.” I tell her.
“Why would you do that?”
“Well, an explanation is never enough proof.” I tell her, “I believe you have to see it to understand or believe it.” She thinks this over for a while.
“Oh, enough you two, you’re fighting like two old ponies for the last oatmeal cookie. I was going to be hurt, maybe even killed by Granny Smith my grandmother because I was born as an earth bender. Artermis saved me, and then adopted me so that I don’t have to live with Granny, and be in danger while I’m there. He probably saved my life. And I’m the one who wanted him to be my dad, so please stop fighting.” Apple Bloom explains to Cadence. Cadence looks at my daughter as though she was trying to find out where she came from.
“Is what she said true?” She asks me. I just sigh and grab Cadence’s head and show her what had happened last night. I let go when I was done. Cadence looks down to Apple Bloom with tears in her eyes.
“I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I am sorry for wanting you gone. Nopony should have to go through what you did last night.” Cadence says as she scoops Apple Bloom into a hug.
“Ack…Can’t… breathe.” I hear Apple Bloom choke out. I shake my head with a smirk, and make the air around Apple Bloom compress then expand quickly setting Apple Bloom free. I hold out my arms, and Apple Bloom jumps up into them. I hold the filly as though she weighed as much as a small cat.
“So, about breakfast, I was thinking we could go out and get something to eat, then I will go get my clothes, and Apple Bloom can say goodbye to her friends before we leave.” I tell the others. Dash just nods to me, and I look to Cadence.
“I don’t see a problem with that as long as you go with Apple Bloom to see her friends.” Cadence tells me. I nod my head and look to dash.
“Know any good places for breakfast?” I ask her.
“Do you want my kind of breakfast or a normal one?” She asks me.
“Let’s go for the normal breakfast this time Dash. I’ll let you take me to your favorite places later after we get home.” I tell her. She nods and motions for us to follow. We followed Dash to a restaurant that was in the center of Ponyville. I didn’t bother to read the name, and just followed Dash inside.
“Welcome, seats for four?” asks a waitress. I nod my head, and follow the mare into the restaurant. We are seated at a table, and given menus. I look through the menu.
“I thought you couldn’t read Equestrian.” Cadence states to me.
“I couldn’t until last night when Twilight cast a spell on me. I can now read it just fine.” I tell her. She just shrugs and looks back to her menu. I had decided what I wanted and put my menu down.
“So what did you two do last night before all of the commotion?” I ask my mare friends.
“Stuff.” Dash answers. I could see a slight blush on her cheeks.
“We gossiped about colts.” Cadence tells me.
“I don’t want to know then. If it was about colts or stallions I don’t think I need to know.” I tell them as my cheeks burned a bright red.
“What has you so blushy?” Cadence asks me with a giggle.
“Well, the last time I asked what two females did on their night together I received some rather explicit information.” I tell her as I bring a ki ball up to my nose. Cadence blushes and I hear Dash’s wing pomf. I just kept the ki ball to my nose.
“What does explicit information mean?” Apple Bloom asks me.
“When you’re older Apple Bloom.” I tell her with a sigh. She puffs up her cheeks and I chuckle at her attitude.
“What’s so funny?” She asks me.
“You’re just so cute when you’re mad.” I tell her.
“Ugh! Don’t tell me that!” She tells me with a massive blush that put her brother’s coat to shame.
The waitress returns to take our orders.
“So what will you all be having this morning?” The mare asks. I let the ladies go first.
“Well I would like some scrambled eggs and hayfries.” Dash tells the waitress.
“I would like some daisy and daffodil sandwiches.” Cadence tells the waitress.
“I’ll have what she ordered.” says Apple Bloom gesturing to Cadence.
“I’ll have five orders of the giant waffles.” I tell the waitress whose jaw hit the floor.
“Are you sure you can eat that much sir?” She asks. I give a hearty laugh.
“If I wanted to I would eat ten orders, but I’m on a tight schedule.” I tell her.
The waitress blinks and walks away saying, “I’ll be back with your food.” I just try to suppress my laughs. I am being stared at by Dash.
“I don’t think you can eat that much.” She tells me with her jaw on the floor. I raise an eyebrow.
“You want to bet on it?” I ask her, “Because I aye much more when I was at the palace.” She shakes her head. Cadence just giggles at the scene before her. We all broke into idle chatter about trivial things until our food came. I amaze everypony that was present in the restaurant as I finish all five of the giant waffles without a problem. I amazed the waitress as I walked outside and came back with a hunk of gold in my hand.
“That should pay for our meal, and cover your tip.” I say after I cut it in half with my sword. The waitress stares at me in awe as we left the dinner. We all went over to Rarity’s after breakfast to get my clothes and to say goodbye to Sweetie Bell. We arrived and left in less than ten minutes. It took me nine and a half to get Sweetie bell to let go of Apple Bloom. I was sad that I had to pry two friends apart, but it was for Apple Bloom’s own good.
We found Scootaloo sleeping in the club house of the CMC and let Apple Bloom do what she wanted to do. After a short five minutes Apple Bloom came out of the club house and walked up to me. She waves a hoof for me to come closer, so I do. She does the motion again, and I was right next to her muzzle.
“She’s dead.” Was all she whispers into my ear. My form shaped into a blazing white alicorn. My mane was literal flames and I was enraged. Cadence couldn’t stop me as I rocketed to the farm house on Sweet Apple Acres. I stopped on the top of the house, and phased through the roof. I landed on the ground floor to see Granny Smith washing a bloody knife. I just made the water from the faucet constrict around her throat. I keep hold of her and bring her up to my face.
“YOU HAVE KILLED AN INNOCENT CHILD. YOU WILL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!” I screamed at her in the royal Canterlot voice. I keep her in my grip, and change into a demonic form of my human body. I let the water fall away, and I pick the elderly mare up. I just started squeezing harder as time went on. I had crushed her wind pipe by the time Apple Bloom came up to me. She touches my leg, and I look down to her.
“Put her down.” She says to me calmly.
“She must pay a price. It is my job to keep the world in balance, and because of this mare’s actions a child is dead. She has shifted the scales to the side of darkness, and I must realign them.” I tell her. Apple Bloom shakes her head at me.
“We found Scootaloo in the attic of the clubhouse. She needs your help.” I drop Granny Smith to the floor and follow Apple Bloom to Scootaloo. I made it to the orange Pegasus, and saw that her wings had been cut off. My ki sky rockets again. My eyes glowed with the power of the Avatar’s, and most likely the power of the Sayains. I made a ball of pure healing energy that could fit Scootaloo inside.
“I need more power if I am to save her.” I say in a thousand voices. Cadence fires a beam of magic at me, and I start to absorb it. Scootaloo floats into my sphere, and I received her vitals in my mind. She was barely alive. I start the healing process at once. I worked on replenishing her blood first, and then started on her wings. I could see that the bones were trying to regrow. I just lined up the energy for them to follow, and they speedily made themselves into a large pair of dragonish wings. I then started giving her wings muscles and tendons. After those were in place Cadence collapses from the stress of magic loss. I fire a small ball of energy at her, and she regained consciousness immediately. I went back to work on Scootaloo. I worked on her skin next. It was a slow agonizing process to put new skin on her. I was starting to lose energy after her wings had skin.
I start to put feathers on her wings, making new follicles for them to grow from, and then speeding up the growing process. My vision slowly starts to tunnel down until I feel a new energy being given to me. I look up to see Twilight Sparkle giving me power. I got back to work.
Scootaloo was starting to regain consciousness so I sapped her chi and put her back to sleep. I then started on giving what couldn’t grow feathers the hard skin between the ribs of her wings. Twilight stops giving me power, and I get my tunnel vision again. I finished Scootaloo’s wings before my vision was completely gone. I set Scootaloo down, and collapsed to my knees. My power from the previous Avatar’s was gone, and my Sayain ancestors stopped helping me. My vision blacked out, and came back after a few seconds. I was still on the ground, and Scootaloo was sleeping.
I slowly sit up and see that everyone was still there.
“How long was I out?” I ask them.
“A few… seconds…” Twilight told me. I felt drained, like I didn’t have my powers anymore, but I could still feel my ki, and chi, in my body. I sigh and look over to Scootaloo and laugh when I see that I gave her wings like Safira’s from the movie Eragon from my world, except they were the same as her coat color. I slowly get up to my feet, and feel my energies slowly returning. The scales of this world were in harmony once more. Scootaloo starts stirring in her sleep, so I sit down next to her.
Her eyes open, and her wings are snapped shut up against her body. She looks around and sees me next to her, then all of the others. Apple Bloom rushed up to Scootaloo, and hugs her. Scootaloo returns the hug with strength. I smile at my work, and say, “Scootaloo. I would look at your new wings.” She looks at me funny, but looks all the same.
“Whoa, how did you make these? They’re freaking amazing!” She says as she gives them a few test flaps which put her a few feet in the air. She laughs as she lands, and I join her, as do the others.
“I can fly?” She asks me.
“While I was healing you I fixed your bone density problem as well.” I tell her. She jumps and hugs me. I barely catch her without falling over. I hug her back.
“Thank you so much.” She tells me with tears coming from her eyes. I just smile at her, and rub her back. I set her down after she stops crying. She hugs me again, this time with less force.
“Can you be my dad?” She asks me so softly that she was probably hoping I didn’t hear it.
“It depends on if you truly want that.” I tell her. She looks up to me and nods. I sigh but smile at her anyways. She lets go of me, and I stand up slowly once more.
“Twilight I have another letter to write, and Cadence we have a new member to our family.” Cadence glares at me and I glare right back. She gives up after she saw the hatred I had in my eyes for one elderly green earth pony. She nods her head, and I smile. Twilight is ready to write a letter, but I just shake my head.
“If I can read it, I can write it Twi.” I tell her. She nods and magics the tools over to me. I earth bend a small desk for me to write on, and start on the letter.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I have grave news. I have evidence that the earth pony Granny Smith of the Apple family has almost killed the Pegasus filly Scootaloo. I saved Scootaloo and gave her a new pair of wings, since her originals were cut off by the elderly earth pony. Scootaloo has asks to become my daughter and I would like it if you could send the documents for another adoption. I will be waiting for your reply on the matter at hoof.
The Avatar,
Artermis
I roll up the parchment and seal it with a ring of air. I look up to Twilight.
“How does spike send the letters with his fire?” I ask her.
“He adds a small amount of magic and will, why?” She tells me.
“I think I can replicate the flame he uses, and send letters to Celestia.” She looks at me.
“I might have to be in a unicorn body to do it though.” I say as I shift into my silver pony body, except this time I was a unicorn. I light my horn with a purple magic, and light the letter on fire with a deep purple flame. I add magic to the flame, and will it to go to Celestia. I succeeded in sending the letter in a small little cloud of purple smoke. After a few minutes a small cloud of smoke comes back to me, and pops with magic into a scroll with the documents. I read the scroll first.
Dear Avatar Artermis,
I am truly saddened that my subject would do this. I would like you to arrest Granny Smith the earth pony, and bring her to Canterlot when you leave. The documents you requested are sent with this letter. I am happy to hear that you restored Scootaloo’s wings, and that she would like to become part of your family. I wish you luck in your travels.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia
I burn the scroll again, this time with regular fire, and shift back into my human form. I reach into my left pocket and pull out my pen, flipping to the signing page. I sign my name on the designated line. I lower the stone desk, so that Scootaloo so that she could sign the documents as well.
“You have two choices. The first signature line is for me to become your father. The second is for me to become your legal guardian.” I tell her. She nods, and I hand her the pen. I shift back into my unicorn form, and send the documents to Celestia. I shift back and sit down. I am breathing hard for some reason.
“Twilight, Something is wrong. I shouldn’t be winded. I need to get to a hospital; I think it is because I used magic while in my unicorn form.” I tell her.
“I don’t have enough magic to teleport all of us there.” She tells me. I reach out my hand, and she puts her hoof into it. I give her what energy I had to spare. She pulled her hoof back when I couldn’t give anymore. I look to her with sweat dripping off of me.
“I have enough now.” She tells me. She lights her horn, and we were all in the hospital after a little lightheaded feeling. I stumble up to the desk with Twilight at my side.
“I need medical attention.” I tell the nurse. The nurse looks at me with a look of confusion. I look down to Twilight who is looking at me. My tan tien burns with the new magical energy. I clench my eyes shut to tell Twilight to tell her.
“He has the symptoms of new magic use in the none magical.” She tells the nurse. This probably catches the nurse’s attention. I heard the intercom.
“I need three doctors to the magical emergency room, now.” Is what had come from the intercom. I am rushed to a room with three doctors in it.
“We need to know where the magic is going.” One of the doctors tells me. I just hold my hands over my tan tien.
“This is where humans store their energies. I can feel the magic burning there.” I tell them. The doctors nod to one another, and I am put under.
I woke slowly, and groggily. I groan as I slowly sit up. I could still feel the magic in my tan tien, but it no longer burned. I look for a bathroom, and see one close by to my right. I stand up and slowly shuffle over to it. I was in a solitary room, with nothing out of place, so I just walked into the empty Bathroom. I looked around to see that I was alone. I head over to the toilet, and up chucked into it. My puke was black with some pieces of red in it. I take care of my business, flush the toilet, and head back to my bed.
A nurse enters the room, and sees that I’m awake. I smile and wave and she does the same.
“How do you feel Avatar?” She asks me.
“Like I fought a demon, and lost.” I tell her. She chuckles.
“I wouldn’t be surprised. You had too much magic in your body for just three doctors to handle. We had the whole staff there to extract the excess magic.” She tells me. I just raise my eyebrows.
“Am I supposed to still have magic?” I ask her, “Because I can tell I have a new energy inside of my body.” She shrugs.
“Some beings come in here with the same problem, and only a tenth of them keep the magic, so it is possible that you do still have magic, just that now you are able to use it properly.” She tells me. I just look at myself with a new sense of respect.
“I’m not complaining.” I tell the Nurse, “I never caught your name.”
“Oh, I’m Nurse Redheart. I am your Nurse while you stay here at the hospital.” She tells me. I smile as I had known her from the show, and some fan fictions. I give her a nod.
“When will I be admitted to leave?” I ask her. She looks at the clipboard that was hanging from my bed. She looks up to me after a few seconds.
“It says as soon as you feel fit to leave.” She tells me.
“Where are my children, and mare friends?” I ask her.
“They were told to wait in the lobby. Would you like me to go get them?” She asks. I nod, and she leaves. I close my eyes for a few moments to collect my thoughts, and open them when I had them sorted out. Nurse Redheart returns with my family after a few short minutes.
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo jump up onto the bed, and hug me. I return their hugs, and look up to my two loved ones.
“I hate it how you always seem to end up in a hospital bed every couple days.” Cadence tells me.
“I doubt I’ll be in here much longer.” I tell her, “How long have I been in here anyways?” I ask them. Cadence looks to a calendar.
“About a few days.” She tells me. I nod solemnly. I look down to my two children.
“How are you two?” I ask my daughters.
“I thought you were going to die.” Apple Bloom tells me. I give a big hearty laugh at that.
“Please, a simple setback like this can’t take me down. Hell I survived an apocalypse, so don’t worry about me.” I tell them. Scootaloo was staring at me with her mouth open.
“How did you survive an apocalypse?” She asks me. I chuckle.
“That is a story for later when I’m not in a hospital and looking like I’m on my death bed.” I tell her. She nods, and cuddles into me. I pet her back with my right hand for she was on my right side. Apple Bloom does the same, and I pet her as well. I then get a quick pain in my tan tien. I wince from the quick burning sensation.
“Looks like I’m not at the top of my game.” I say to no one in particular, “I think I’ll stay here for a few more hours before I leave.” Cadence nods to me. I get another pain, but this one was different. I was getting the pain from shape shifting time one hundred. I quickly put my two daughters on the ground with my air bending, then cry out in agony from my body shifting.
“Don’t interfere… This is one of my own abilities acting out.” I tell the Nurse. I clenched my teeth as my bones felt like they were melting, and reshaping. After my bones were solid once more my hands and feet were gone. My skin starts to turn black with a small burning pain, but the hair that was growing was completely black, and short. I had grown a fully black coat. I was then screaming in pain as a long horn comes from my fore head.
I flip over onto my stomach as two sharp bones split my skin open, and two wings grow into place. When the pain was gone I had a dark purple mane with deep silver highlights. My tail matched my mane, and I had grown wings similar to Scootaloo’s. I looked into a mirror I was given and saw that I actually had five horns, one large unicorn horn and four smaller ones around it in a diamond pattern. My eyes didn’t have black pupils anymore, for they had turned slightly darker silver then my retina. My wings edges were as sharp as my sword that I had before, and were probably just as strong and light weight. I flap my wings a couple times to get use to the new muscles once more. I slowly get off of the bed, and slowly walk around the room. I slowly increase my speed until I was walking normally.
The pain in my stomach was gone, and my magic didn’t burn at all. My eyes widened as I feared for my other abilities. I go through each of them, and only find that my shape shifting doesn’t work anymore.
“Well, I can’t shape shift anymore. I still have all of my other abilities, and why the hell am I an alicorn?!” I ask as panic starts to set in.
“Calm down, let me go get a doctor.” The Nurse tells me. I blink a couple times before I get onto the bed again, and lie down on my stomach with my legs folded under me. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom jump up again, and lay against my sides. I look back to my flank when I see a small flash.
My cutie mark appeared on both of my flanks. I see that it is a yin yang sign, but the colors were off. Instead of black and white, it was purple and silver. The dots inside of the halves were different as well. The dot in the purple was a sun much like Celestia’s cutie mark, and it was the deep silver. The other dot was a full moon, which also had a crescent in it. This yin yang was surrounded by shields, and swords in a circle like fashion. I hear gasps come from my daughters.
“You got a cutie mark.” They say in unison. I smile at this.
“Um, what does it mean?” Dash asks.
“It symbolizes my job as the keeper of balance in this world. I will fight to make the world balanced, and I will defend the balance. The two celestial bodies are representatives of day and night. I am guessing that means that I am to make sure that neither of the Princesses acts up again. The swords are for my will to fight for balance, and the shields are for the protection to balance that I give.” I tell them all.
“Apple Bloom, we have the coolest dad ever.” Scootaloo squeals. I just chuckle.
Nurse Redheart returns with a doctor in tow. I see that his Cutie mark is a needle with a lightning bolt shaped thread in it.
“Hello Artermis, I am Doctor Swift Suture. I am here to do a scan on you to see what made you into an alicorn.” He tells me.
“Well scan away.” I tell him. He nods and lights his horn with a yellow magic. His horn projects a sort of giant retina scanner over my entire body. His magical scan goes over me a few times before he stops.
“It seems your magic was too much for your body, so it turned into an alicorn to compensate for the amount of power. Usually when a pony is in your situation, mostly earth ponies, they turn into a unicorn. I don’t know exactly why you were turned into an alicorn. It could be that you have immense stores of magic, or your other energies that caused this to happen.” He tells me with a professional tone.
“Well, this puts a twist on my life.” I say with a sigh, “I need to send a letter to Celestia.” I am given a piece of paper, and something to right with from Nurse Redheart.
“Thank you.” I tell her. I then start to write.
Dear Celestia,
Due to my magic use while I was in the form of a unicorn my body had grown a way to make magic. My human self was never supposed to be able to use magic, so my magic caused a medical problem. I’m sure you might have heard from Twilight in the past couple days, but I have some more news.
I am now an alicorn. My body couldn’t handle the magic that was left over for me to use, so to compensate I was forcibly transformed into a black alicorn. I have already gained my cutie mark, and will be sending you updates on my well being if requested.
I await your reply,
Avatar Artemis
I send the letter off in a small work of fire bending, and magic. It was a few moments before I received a reply. The smoke flew in through a window, and materialized in front of me as a scroll. I will my magic to levitate the scroll and open it. I succeeded in doing so. I then read the letter.
Dear Avatar Artermis,
I am surprised by your recent report. My sister and I will be coming to Ponyville to see this ourselves. We will be at your location soon.
By the sun,
Princess Celestia
After I finished reading there was a flash and pop of teleportation magic, and Celestia and Luna were in the room. The others in the room bowed, minus me and Cadence. After everyone rose from there bow I looked to Celestia. I nod my head out of respect. She smiles to me.
“So sister, please tell me why you woke us up.” Luna pleaded to Celestia. I clear my throat and spread my wings. Luna looks at me and gasps.
“Oh, he is why. How did this happen?” Luna asks the Doctor. I chuckle as I see the Doctor cower at Luna’s gaze.
“Careful Luna, you don’t want to scare him to death.” I tell her.
“What do you mean scare him to death? I just asked a simple question.” She asks me. I feel my daughters smoosh into me, so I cover them both with my wings.
“It isn’t what you asked or how you look; it is the way you asked. It has been a thousand years since you have been here Luna. A lot has changed. One thing that has changed is to be kind and caring to your subjects, not show them how high and mighty you are. So doctor will you tell Princess Luna why I changed into an alicorn?” I ask the scared Stallion. He clears his throat and stands back up.
“Yes, well…” I tune out the rest of the conversation until my name is said; I would listen for a few seconds before I would tune them out if it was none important. I look up to Celestia when she calls me.
“Artermis, you do realize that alicorns are considered royalty. You are a prince if you want the title.” She tells me.
“I had already known this, and accept the title under one condition.” I reply.
“And that would be?” She asks.
“I would like to start a school for those that would like to learn how to bend. I’ve seen that your little ponies have the same abilities as other humans from my world, and would like to teach them how to use their power to the fullest.” I tell her.
“Is that all that you wanted? I was thinking of something entirely different.” She tells me. I raise an eyebrow and look into her eyes to see jealousy behind her mask of calm. I then start to ponder what she meant with the emotion I found and come to a lewd conclusion. I bring a ki ball up to my muzzle for I had a nose bleed from blushing too hard. I was grateful for my black coat. Once the bleeding had stopped I look back up to Celestia.
“No my school is all I want.” I tell her. She nods her head. I let my daughters out from under my wings, and let them hop down from the bed. I get up and do a static stretch of all my muscles to feel what they did. It probably looked weird to the rest of the ponies in the room, because parts of my skin would move or shake when a muscle was flexed. I sigh when I was finished.
“What did you just do?” Dash asks me.
“I did what I call a static stretch. For every time I changed form I would be slightly lost on how to control the muscles, so I do a static stretch to feel what all of my new muscles do.” I tell her.
“Wait, you said every time I changed. Does this mean you can change into a new form?” Celestia asks me.
“I can’t anymore, or at least not now. It seems that this was the last shape shift my body did. Before I became this, I could freely change into whatever I wanted. Now the ability seems blocked by something.” I tell Celestia.
“And you didn’t tell me about this power for what reason?” She asks me. I sigh as I knew this conversation would have come eventually.
“Because if I did it would make me look suspicious after a future event. I will not say what the event is.” I reply with an impassive tone. I spread my left wing and look at it. I take in the details of the wing. It had slightly scale like feathers on the top and bottom of the wing, and on the last two ribs it was similar to a dragon’s wing.
“You’re right Scootaloo these wings are pretty cool.” I say as I fold my wing back to my side. I look back to Celestia, and see that she is looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
“What, Humans don’t have wings, and these would not be found on an ordinary Pegasus, or alicorn. I was just admiring my wings anyways.” I tell her with a hoof o the back of my neck.
“How old are you?” She asks me. My face turns to a deadpanned expression.
“My soul is millions of years old, but this body is only sixteen.” I tell her. She just looks confused.
“What do you mean your soul is millions of years old?” She asks me.
“I’ll have to explain later Celestia. This is a conversation that is not to be had in front of civilians.” I tell her. She nods to me.
“I believe I am fit to leave the hospital, so I will be taking my leave.” I tell the Doctor. He just shrugs and walks out of the room. I follow his lead and exit the room, holding the door open for the others. After every one was out of the room, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo jumped onto my back, and lay down. I just smile and continue on my way out of the hospital.
