I soared over the forest noticing all weird creatures. I have seen some odd monsters through my infinite lifetime, but these...timberwolves and ursa majors are really making me itchy to fight them.

I landed next to the castle of the two sisters. I would make this my home. I dismissed the Thunderbird and he flew back through a dark portal that opened in the sky.

~~~~~

"Hello, Celestia." I said telepathically.

"Who's there?!" Celestia yelled in her castle with the elements and her sister near her.

"It's me Lucius. I'm speaking through you mentally." I responded.

"What's wrong, dear sister?" Luna asked.

When I mind connect with someone I can see everything and feel everything from their perspective.

"Nothing, just Lucius speaking through my mind." Celestia responded. All the ponies in the throne room wore shocked faces.

"Just think of what you want to say and I'll hear it. Now to more important matters. May I remodel and rebuild the castle ruins in the Everfree Forest?" I asked.

"You may." I heard Celestia's response after a long train of thinking.

"Thank you, dear Celestia." I stopped mind connection when I felt her many different emotions of hers flare when I transmitted that.

~~~~~

I started to float bricks and shape them using my dark grip. The bricks were flying as the castle was being redesigned at lightning speeds, I was also cutting new onws from the surrounding rocks. I was going to repair this place and make it mine

Canterlot....Afternoon

"Mind connection? But he doesn't even have a horn or know magic! How could he possibly know a spell that very few unicorns could use?" Twilight was very skeptical.

"He has to if he did and maybe he can use magic with a different apparatus." Luna suggested.

"Actually, it isn't magic." Rarity interrupted the guessing game.

"Then what is it, Rarity?" Fluttershy asked.

"I don't know, I know that it is something that comes from deep within him, but I'm not sure." Rarity responded.

"Then we shall head to the EverFree Forest, find this mysterious man named Lucius, and interrogate him." Celestia said and guided them to prepare themselves for the meeting before traveling with a flash of her horn, all of them teleported to the castle ruins.

EverFree Forest...Afternoon

I just finished making the black stone castle and placing furnishings made from the trees around inside when I felt a holy presence behind me. I could tell it was attempting to be cloaked, but due to the extreme level of darkness in my being, I saw through the simple cover of its emission. I swung around quickly and grabbed whatever it is that appeared by its neck with my left hand. a white figure, wings, perhaps an angel. I summoned my favorite blade in my right hand and I prepared to plunge my blade into its heart when the blinding wind from my movement cleared and the rush withdrew a little from me. This 'angel' was in fact Celestia.

This small movement was made within a fraction of a second.

I felt a lot of magic build around me as well as a cloaked dark aura nearby Celestia. Luna, of course, appeared with a charged horn with the Elements of Harmony.

"Put the Princess down!" Twilight demanded while I continued to burrow into Celestia's soul through her magenta eyes.

I knew she could see the hate, the dwindling murder, and the darkness in my red pupils, I didn't care, I was used to such things. I could clearly see the fear, worry, and confusion in her eyes with the presence of panic and thinking.

"I should have brought this up earlier..." I spoke, adding more confusion to her and everyone around."You're a holy being..."

"What?" All but Luna questioned in unison.

"Celestia here has holy energy about her..." I spoke obviously.

Twilight's heart was most likely broken...I sure do love myself.

"You're lying, there is no holy being that lives!" Twilight uproared.

"Luna possesses dark attributes." I added, still keeping a grip on Celestia, Mortis Lamina ready to spear her chest. I was absorbing her magic, making her fatigue slowly.

"Put our sister down, immediately!" Luna boomed.

I wasn't scared of her at all. I could eviscerate all around me easily, but I wanted to get on good terms with these ponies so I complied.

Celestia dropped to the ground when I loosened my grip. She looked like a corpse.

"Sorry, but I don't like holy things too much." I said while Celestia stood, shaky, attempting to regain her composure.

"Welp, time for recess..." I spoke out loud walking away.

Mortal, you have no idea how much I fucked up now...you'll see my troubles.

I had uncloaked my dark aura, forgetting of the consequences.

"You all must flee, especially Luna. Some unwanted people are headed here." I commanded.

A blinding light filled the sky and all the Elements screamed, panicking. I sent them and Luna away in black mist, teleporting them somewhere into the Everfree Forest. Celestia stood, dumbfounded, before running off toward the ponies.

"Long time, no see, guys." I conversed with myself.

The eye burning light grew dimmer as a yellow portal was opened from it. It was sure to be seen all the way from the Crystal Empire. as it flashed once the portal was stable.

Hundreds of winged figures poured out from the holy transportation. They carried many types of weapons as they fled out. The portal closed, restoring the sky when the last exited, leaving thousands hovering dozens of miles in the sky.

I had dark fire surround my blade while I dropped my illusion.
