Chapter Two

The first page was blank so you turn to the next. Finding more of the same, you flip through the book finding all of the pages were blank about to through it away you notice on the inside of the back cover is a set of instructions written in gold.

‘So, someone here liked Death Note. Wonder if the book itself has any magical properties?’

As the god of chaos, nothing is beyond your power save a handful of things:
1. Concerning Death
a. You cannot bring the dead back to life unless you killed them. Even then, do not do it often. Death gets very pissy about this.
b. You cannot directly kill another being. Leave them to die in a trap you or they made yes, will them dead or use mundane means, no. You know what I mean you saw that Batman movie with Liam Neeson.

1. Decorum
   a. You cannot under any circumstance tell an outright lie. The use half-truths double or triple negatives or any other means of deception are still possible. Think lawyer or politician.
   b. You must keep either the letter or spirit of any agreement you make.

2. To use your powers.
   a. Think what you want.
   b. Will it to be.
   c. Make a gesture. I snapped my fingers, I have seen others blink; wiggle their nose, and all sorts of other gestures.

3. Concerning children.
   a. Any child you bring into this world by purely physical means and not by your magic will be given a small amount of your power. This power is influenced by whatever power the mother had.

The instructions ended there. Reaching into the bag and draw out the knob as I pull the darkness in the bag seems to come with it. Looking at the object in my hands, I find a beautifully crafted ebony cane with silver fixtures. With a smile, I turned turn to the ruined castle.

“Now this won’t do; Not at all for my seat of power.”

With a swift step forward you slam down the end of the cane with a harsh cracking noise suddenly the castle warps. Turning into a large palace or manor with what appears to be a twenty-story tower rising up in the center. Twenty-foot walls in circling the property with four gates set at the cardinal points.

With a smile, I enter my new home. As I walked in, I was striking my cane and with each step more and more of the house around me was transformed. The plain field stone floor of my entrance hall became highly polished black marble. A thick red carpet rug appeared next running the length of the hall. The walls gained dark stained wood paneling and the ceiling took on a light tan color. Brass lighting fixtures adorned the walls and a large diamond and ruby chandelier hung from the ceiling in the center. Doors appeared at various places along the hall each one had a lighter finish then the walls. Opening the door at the end of the hall, you made yourself a throne room fit for the new lord of chaos. The floors suddenly were made out of the black diamonds you liked but with dark red undertones at the far end of the room against the wall, a dais rose from the floor with three tiers.

I moved to stand at the top of the dais, overlooking the room as a whole. Not satisfied I tap my cane several times and watch the room change around me. The room gained a vaulted ceiling, which could not be easily seen. The walls got more wood paneling but with a finish that fell between cherry and mahogany with this, the room seemed to brighten. Next lighting from the walls sprang several different mythical animals each holding in its paws or teeth a large diamond, which was glowing with an internal radiance. Dozens of large tapestries adorned the walls for now all of them were blank except for the on right next to the door, which depicted me raising this palace from the ruins. No windows adorned the room I might be cocky but I was not stupid, why give someone a way to shot you from a distance or spy on you.

Finally you turn around behind you nothing has changed really sure it matches the rest of the room but it is missing something. Thinking I twirl the cane trough my fingers when it clicks. Slamming the cane down a large solid platinum chaos star appears with one ray touching the top of the dais ending not in a point but an ornate throne with blood red silk upholstery.

I then take my throne tapping my cane lightly down two things appeared next to me. A combination end table slash sword stand and atop that the folders from the bag outside. Setting my cane into the stand, I reach out and take up the top most of the folders labeled Equestria.

Opening the folder, you quickly see why Discord kept using the terms he did. The dominant life forms on this planet were magical horse types. Unicorns, Pegasus, Earth ponies that were regular ponies from back on earth only smart, and Alicorns their ruling class. The information painted a very interesting picture if I was not here myself I would think it was some fantasy setting from a children’s television program.

Flipping through the folders your spot on labeled “The Elements of Harmony” recognizing the name from the letter I quickly opened the folder and began reading. The elements of harmony are ancient magical artifacts, which can only be used in tandem. If even one piece is missing or out of alignment with the user, the elements will not function.

That being said the elements are at their most powerful when all six elements are wielded in a group effort. Their power is exponentially based upon the multiplied total of the parts to the power of the number of users: (x*1) ^1, to (a*b*c*d*e*f) ^6. While a single user will never get a power increase their power will become unblockable and can have varying effects based upon the users will (See Mare in the Moon section 3 Luna file).

As previously stated though if one of the elements is missing or its wielder is not properly aligned with it the power will not function. Please note that the elements cannot be destroyed they can only be changed in form.

“So I just need to get my hands on one piece to render them harmless” I muse out loud “the best way to do that would be to find out where they are and steal at least one. On the other hand, I could kidnap one of the bearers. Hmm why not do both.” I continue reading.

The current bearers are Fluttershy kindness, Pinkamina Dane Pie aka Pinky Pie laughter, Rarity generosity, Rainbow Dash loyalty, Applejack honesty, and Twilight Sparkle magic.

The current location of the elements is the Golden Oaks Library under the stewardship of Princess Twilight Sparkle. Last seen they were in a glass case near the stairs to the second level. ‘Security should be easy to circumvent if it’s a public building’ I ponder.

Next, I pull out the folders with the names of the six girls who could be my downfall. Flipping through the folders I discard four of them immediately because they have roommates.

“Well that leaves the two with only wings. Let us see one leaves in the clouds that could be tricky, but the other tends to large amounts of wild animals which she does not cage inside of her house.” Thinking out loud “Rainbow Dash it is and I’ll bring the tortoise to shut her up. If everything goes well they might not find out she gone until I steal the element.”

Author's Note

I will take suggestions on which element to take. Give me a good reason why that element should be taken and what does he do with it? Turn it into a tie pin, a ring, excreta.
