A New Lord of Chaos

Chapter 3

It did not take me long to find out were Rainbow Dash lives. I mean there was only one giant cloud house near the small town.

After a week of watching the house and its occupants, I could tell that she stuck to a very random schedule. This was good news for me if she disappeared one day her friends were not likely to notice for some time depending on when I took her. Getting into the house was easy she did not even lock the door even at night.

I had let myself in several times over the last few days. The house was rather nice I had never thought of clouds as anything more than water before I came here. Now I understood why she had made all of her furniture out of them the dam things were comfortable. On my last day in, I found something very helpful it was a flyer for a convention in some place called Clouds-dale. It was set to start at the end of the week, perfect. I could grab her before she left and her friends will think she left for the convention.

With my first move planed, I started focusing on the elements. I let me self into the library one night and examined the case to my surprise it was just a plain glass display case no locks or magic not even a bell or something to let her know the case was opened. What was wrong with some ponies. They had locks but did not use them, and here were their most powerful magical tools with no security around them. Discord must have been incredibly weak or downright insane to not be ruling over this country much less this world. Looking the elements over I just had to pick one I wanted. As tempting, as it was to just expedite my plans and do everything tonight I left for my home to plan. 'Chaos is not just random it is the purest elemental force of change.'

When I arrived home, I decided that my security was far too lax. As out of character as it seemed for my new station my first line of defense was three magic circles of law. Something from a manga I had liked back when I was still on earth Fairy Tale.

Each circle set a condition to those who crossed them first, any which crossed this line save the master and servants of the house would give up their magic.

Second, for my own preferences, only females could cross this line without my permission but no being could leave without it.

Third crossing this line would separate each person to a different part of the castle.

With that started, I moved into the castle itself I pulled every amusing and non-lethal trick I had out of my head mirrored floors with spiked ceilings, infinite halls, doors that lead to the other side of the hall and my final trick the door they each cross after the first trap would turn them all human.

I had noticed something odd when I had made the mirrored floor my features had changed. My skin and gotten paler. My nose now was a bit bigger giving it slightly beaked appearance. The once pointy line of my jaw was now a bit wider and slightly squarer. My formerly brown eyes were now two different colors one bright emerald green the other bright almost sky blue. While my body was just a bit taller going from 6’1”to 6’6”, I had lost all of my excess body fat giving me either a runner build or a swimmer’s physique. I was never sure which was which. Finally, my hair had gone from deep brown to inky black to top it off I had a snow white stripe going through it. The white covered the top head from my widow’s peak straight back pretty close to what Doc Hammer had. Over all I liked the improvements to my appearance.

Now with my security in place I set out to add several rooms to the castle for each of the elements and the princesses should they be defeated or surrender. Finally, I decided to settle in for the night. I entered my bedroom and decided to improve it. I mean I had guests coming soon my whole castle needed to be up to my standards. Tapping my cane several times on the floor I built an office slash small library into my now royal suite. Next, a small hallway leading to a circular room with several doors this was something I rather liked each door lead to somewhere else in the castle but only I could enter this room and some rooms could only be accessed from here. Opening one door to a bare stonewall tapping the cane again a grand bath appeared with several small doors leading to saunas and steam rooms. I made my main tub hot spring fed as I finished this the room started to warm up and steam started filling the room. Closing the door, I mark it with the sign of Aquarius so I could remember which was which.

Thinking that this was a good idea I tap my cane again and each door is marked in a similar fashion. Opening the door to Libra I found another blank wall happy with this I set about making my treasury I create several spring loaded pits that would settle deeper as more coins and gems were added. Finally, against the far wall I make six female busts each with an element written on the bottom. Going back to the other doors, I check some of the other doors Leo lead to my library. Pisces to a hall near both my dining room and kitchen. Scorpio was another blank wall so I made a simple dungeon with several basic cells. Taurus I connected to my throne room, and finally I opened Ares and found my bedchamber focusing on what I wanted a bed large enough to sleep ten. Happy with my nights work I went to bed.
