The Twilight Corruption

As Twilight stumbled out of the bar, all she could see were the hushed fanfare of a celebrating city at night. I can’t believe they believed that bitch, she just offers them a place in the wedding and bye bye friends... or did she, what if whatever she did to my brother, she did it to them, too? As she continued stumbling down the dark street all she could see were the posters plastered to the walls.

“Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Prince Armours wedding! A week long celebration to congratulate the couple!” was printed on the top and a picture of the smiling couple was on the bottom. Each time Twilight passed them it was like instead of celebrating the marriage, they were celebrating Cadence getting rid of her.

Maybe if I just got rid of her, I’m sure that I could beat her with magic. Just as she thought this the train station came into view. It was no longer guarded since the threat had been left unfulfilled and a train was just rolling into the station. Twilight hurried on and took an empty carriage, whenever someone would arrive and consider taking a seat in the carriage, they would take one look at her and then move on. No doubt the news of my disgrace has already hit most of Canterlot, but with the celebrations I doubt it will hit Ponyville soon. She heard a loud whistle as the train left the station, she yawned after the days events and settled down to sleep, her dreams haunted by the faces of her friends and family all looking at her in disgust. Occasionally, Cadence would make an appearance mocking her by taking away those closest to her.

When the train rolled into Ponyville, Twilight exited the train, making a beeline for the library. As Twilight slammed the door behind her she started to think. If Candence did trick my friends then I’ll just have to take them back. Going to one of her bookshelves she started hunting books of all topics in order to create some kind of plan. She started mainly checking books on the elements of harmony to see if there was a way to use them.

Just as she had finished checking all the books, a thought entered her head. What if it was my fault, what if I invented the “Monster cadence” as some sort of mental defence, what if I just got rid of all my own friends. As she thought this she started to hyperventilate, eye twitching she felt herself start to become unstuck, and though she didn’t feel it, her magic started to flow. It was subtle at first, but it slowly turned into a full-blown magic surge: violently throwing books and shelves all around the library. Eventually it lost power as she fell to the floor, near a hole from where a bookshelf had collided with it. Groggily regaining her senses, she saw a small navy blue book in the hole. Curious, she picked it up and started reading: “If anypony finds this book, do not judge me for what I have discovered, the only reason I have put it down in writing is in the interest of magical knowledge. My name is was Ser Fireheart Deathclaw. This grave discovery that I have made is put simply the ability to control another ponies mind. I leave this here in case Equestria is ever threatened and this spell is required.”

I can’t believe it! A new unknown spell possibly undiscovered for centuries. Oh I better document this. But just before she went to get writing utensils she started thinking more.

Wait I could use this, I’ve been trying to think of a way to get my friends back and here is the perfect opportunity.

But it’s evil...

Well I guess it is...no, it it isn’t! I mean, if I can’t get my friends back then the elements of harmony will divide and then Discord might be released or even Nightmare Moon. No, it is too important to Equestrian safety to ignore. I just need to find a way to test it. Thinking on this, she continued reading learning the secrets of the mind straight through the night and even into the day.
