Memories Of Days Past

Chapter Eleven

        There are many outcomes to an event, many do not think of those, just the one that will either succeed or fail. For my plan to succeed, I must fail, all that I ever wanted is now gone and will never come back. As the old saying goes, you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. Some say I have become a villain, really I’m not that bad yet, my moral system is more utilitarian, instead of minimizing pain and maximizing pleasure, I just want my goals to be completed. Is that so hard to happen, I have many lifetimes to complete this and many more will be spent to see the execution.

        Celestia and Luna, they’ve lost their only contact to Elysium somehow, I think he may be watching over us, but I’m not a hundred percent on that. We had a surprisingly easy takeover, it seemed like he knew what what going to happen beforehand and all possible outcomes, even with time magic that’s impossible.

        We, Sara and I had expected some resistance from Celestia and Luna, no just nothing it seems too perfect to be true. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing just that it’s strange, like why are they not gathering support from the loyalists. We know they’re out there just waiting for us to slip up and leave an opening, or maybe they actually are gone just done and letting us rule over the plane. Maybe they are being preoccupied by some other thing, maybe I just overestimated their influence on the plane.

        “We have to use the remaining influence to gather troops for our army, we don’t have much left. Soon there will be no chance to regain power, and our contact to Elysium has been killed so no reinforcements from them.”

        “Do not worry so much, I’ve got a plan. We need to get a gather the remaining Elements of Harmony and convince them that Twilight and Rainbow have been controlled. If we can do that, we may be able to force them to surrender control over the plane back to us without violence. If that doesn’t work then, we’ll have to recreate the Holy Crusades, after all there are some who think we are gods.”

        “The Holy Crusades, are you sure, you remember how well they worked against Discord. It might turn out better because they don’t control the laws of physics, but its still risky.”

        We have near total control over the plane, as soon as we have enough of an army to take The Crystal Empire by force we will have succeeded. Shining Armor and Cadence will be a bit problematic, so we have a very interesting proposition. I will claim to have Amanda pretending to be Twilight for a bit, then propose the surrender of the Crystal Empire for the return of Twilight Sparkle, the plan is very fifty-fifty. High risk, high reward, anyways if they decline and try to “rescue” Twilight, then we have a in on the Crystal Empire and soon after it will fall.

        After that we will go south and attack the Griffon Colonies, that attack plan will be a bit different, instead of our army attacking we will have the hundred or so Changelings infiltrate and destroy the leadership and political power from the inside. It will be a slower execution but will make it easier on us later. Changelings are mobilizing as I write this, all is coming along so perfectly. Soon we will accomplish all that we have set out to do.

        The True Fae are not pleased, they do not like how planeswalkers are gaining control over the plane. This makes them a high priority target for extermination, but they cannot truly die for ideas, after all are immortal. The Gentry is already on the move, some of the outlying territories are being attacked. Entire settlements have been replaced by Fetches, The Losts numbers are growing, we will need to start on rescue ops to help some of those Lost.

        The seasonal courts are also mobilizing but against who we do not know yet, their numbers are in the hundreds, if they are with us then we will surely claim victory. If they are against us, we may be able to hold them off for a short period of time, but they will eventually reach the others. They must be convinced to join us or it will be the end.

        The directional courts have been strangely quiet, although we may know for certain the West Court is preparing for war, most likely against the Gentry and True Fae. We may be able to convince them to join in our forces and attack Celestia and Luna, but lest us not get our hopes too high.

        The celestial courts may be mobilizing, but one could never tell with the Sun and Moon Courts always trying to set each other back. The Dawn and Dusk Courts do look like they are preparing themselves, most likely to try and eliminate the Gentry, but we are uncertain. Infiltrating the courts have been a challenge but we have been somewhat successful.

        The former noble houses of Equs have also been gathering their forces against the coming convergence, we must keep an eye on them they are the most likely to support our enemies. They number in the two hundreds, so not many but still a formidable size. Eliminate if necessary, if not keep disrupting communications between them, we will not allow them to move against us in the following event.

        This account for the intelligence we have accumulated for the time being, more intel is being gathered in the Griffon Colonies, Crystal Empire, Cloudsdale, the Changelings, and the Neighpon. Updates will be patched in directly to you as they come, hopefully the other nations will not interfere, if they do we must eliminate. All is not as it seems, the fight has just begun, they are coming. The Destroyers, The Saviors.
