Could Be a...

Chapter 25 – Could Be a chance at love

The young stallion's trot to the hotel has come to it's end quick as he passes into the lobby of the building. Sparky holds his head from the ponies at the reception desk as he just holds his eyes to the rapidly approaching staircase. Since he left the library the thoughts about actually not being able to tell Violet how he feels or worse her not care have grown, but even though these forbearing feelings have grown so to has his determination to speak his mind.

Sparky holds his head up high as he trots up almost flies himself up the stairs, unlike last night the hallway he now turns to no longer brings a cold sweat to his coat, instead a fire just burns to the young stallions eyes as he brings himself to the door.

For a split second he pauses as he just stares to the wood of the door, but the moment of doubt passes as he swings the door open and takes a large step inside, "V-violet I love you!"

The rush of adrenalin and arrogance that drove the bold comment from the shy stallion quickly falters as his eyes turn to a sleek black coated slightly taller blueish green eyed bug winged unicorn. In front of this pony sits a dull light purple mare whose eyes glow with a faint green shine.

"Oh, that's sweet." The voice has a strangely regal and feminine tone to it as the taller pony standing in the room turns itself towards Sparky all the while as it's lengthy serpent like tongue flicks a little through it's narrowed fanged snout.

Before Sparky can even scream out the long horn of the pony chimes out as a green rim of magic runs to the room and slams the door shut.

Around Sparky's legs and wings a binding tightness takes hold as he drops to his left side as he just stares up towards the black creature, "WHO ARE YOU!?!"

The changeling gives a little laugh as it's tone starts to take on a southern like drall, "Why, i'm no pony special..." The sleek black coat starts to shift to a tan like color as Sparky's eyes widen to the familiar tan stallion, "...I'm just a new student looking for a little help in class."

Asher's horn sparks up the scarf from the bed as he wraps it around his neck to cover the what looks like burn spot on the left of his chest.

Sparky now flails his head towards the door as he screams up, "HELP! Anypony!? He-.."

Asher's horn glows a little with a green like chime as he takes in an almost sensual moan, "Ah...You two really are chalked full of emotion. Tell me who was that yell for help really for?"

Sparky's eyes swing to Violet's dull expression as a fire burns to his eyes, "What have you done to her!" A faint orange glow comes to Sparky's wings as he impatiently waits for a response.

Asher holds his eye to the pegasus's wings as he trots a little over to him, "You know, I rather enjoyed our little chattes me and Violet had." He pokes his head a little closer to the stallion as his magic tightens to around Sparky's wings.

The tightening magic runs a sharp pain up Sparky's back as the orange magic fades from his feathers, "AHH!"

Sparky holds the cry of pain as he just looks up to Asher, "W-what do you want?"
Asher's eyes flicker to the lack of rage in Sparky's voice as his own tone drops to a lower and more sweet chime, the southern draw is gone as he speaks up, "There's the nice stallion Violet seems to like..." The tan stallion gives a little smile as he plays to Sparky's emotions, "Sparky, I need your help."

The comment blinks Sparky's eyes as he just listens to the stallion, "You see Sparky for too long we changelings have been hunted down, everypony believes we're evil and want nothing but destruction." Asher shake his head, "We want to live Sparky, we no longer won't to worry..."

Asher holds the smile as he starts to stir a little emotion in Sparky's stare, "...We know you would help us Sparky, you must understand that not all evil of old is truly evil. Help us like you did Sombra..."

Sparky thinks over the words as he just stares to Asher's strangely calming expression, "W-what do you need?"

The grin widens to Asher as he continues, "There is something in the Canterlot Archives, something that will help our race find its way to peace-..."

"Release Violet." Sparky's comment through Asher's calmed voice as the tan stallion gives a friendly little chuckle.

The tan stallion takes his head from Sparky as he turns to Violet, "Isn't fate strange? We sent out these necklaces to every pony of power we could safely deliver them to..." Asher brings his head back to Sparky as he continues, "We never even planned for the destroyer's daughter to be involved."

Sparky's voice heightens a little as he speaks up, "I agree to help, let her go."

Asher holds a slight grin as the low chime to his horn continues to chime, he stays silent for the moment as he looks over the light orange stallion.

"Heres the thing Sparky... We never planned for Violet to get a necklace, but seeing as how she did we can use her to help." Asher pauses as he thinks over the word, "...Violet's magic will be greatly beneficial."

"What magic?" Sparky's words bring a quick response from Asher as he nods, "The magic would be reconstruction summoning." Asher cocks his head as he chuckles, "I believe Sombra gave you some experience with this."

Sparky shakes his head as best he can as he runs out his comment, "No. No, you can't ask her to do that it's too strong she could get hurt."

Asher cocks his head as he looks to Sparky a little confused, "I'm sorry... Did I lead you to believe that I didn't know that?"

The comment flicks Sparky's ear as he watches the stallion trotting towards Violet, "But I agreed to help..." The words don't turn Asher's head as he speaks up a little louder, "But I agreed to help!"

A faint chuckle comes from Asher as he speaks up, "Come Violet, I believe it's time to go." To the words Violet stands from the bed without even a second look to the stallion bound to the floor.

Sparky's heat much like his voice rages on as he speaks up, ""I agreed! Let her go."
Asher turns his eyes to Sparky as his magic warps the stallion's mouth, "Shhh please Sparky... A changeling can only bear so much emotion in one session."

"Mpffh!!" Sparky's eyes widen as he tries to scream to the stallion.

"Don't worry Sparky, nothing will happen to you." Asher bends his head down as the regal feminine voice comes back to him, "I kinda always liked pushovers." The tan stallion quickly presses his lips to Sparky's as the green glowing horn continues to ring out.

The forced kiss ends fast as the tan stallion brings his head up, "Goodbye Sparky." As the words end the spell building to the stallion's horn shoots out to Sparky as his head flops to the hard floor in a faint.

Asher turns his head to Violet as the southern speech comes back to his voice up, "Lets take a walk Violet."

The light purple mare nods to the command as she trots to the door to open it, as the door opens the magic to the room pops with a low chime as Asher follows after Violet and into the hallway.
