//-------------------------------------------------------// My little dark magic princess -by Mystic wings- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// prologue Prologue She bows low for her master. “Master all the preparations are made. the next experiment is ready. All we need now is the subjects.” He clicks his hooves together in childlike glee. “Ah yes, so we are ready Coral?” Coral looks up. “Yes master we are more than ready, for we have all we need but the specimens.” He chuckles darkly “Don’t worry about that Coral I have just the abomination for the job. Get your brother ready for his assignment.” Coral flinches at this.“Ah! Are you sure master? He is unstable, and might not be able to handle this task.” The master stomps his hooves on the ground. The echoing sound resonates menacingly. “ARE YOU QUESTIONING ME CORAL!?!?!?!?” The poor slave trembles in her hooves. “no of c-course not master.” He “sighs”disappointingly. “Coral I don’t think I need to tell you what we do to slaves, but I really am too kind. Go get your brother ready, and we can forget about this whole thing” The master unicorn glares vialy at Coral the slave. Coral bows before her master. “yes  of c-course. Thank you master Darkhole” Coral leaves the throne room with all haste. Darkhole then reclines in his massive throne atop the arches, and sits to wait for his abomination. His monster gets there quickly enough. A grotesque mashup of every type of pony out there. Darkhole grins at the adorable sight. “Ah my pet! Hello dear thing. I need you to go fetch me some more ponies. Remember ponies are for chewing not eating, and try to bring three back alive this time.” As his pet dashes out of the throne room Darkhole gets up off his throne, and starts wandering to his room behind the throne. Just like he predicted just as he closed the door he could hear the screams of his subjects, and the howl of his pet off in the night. He “sighs” now he has to leave the fun behind and get down to planning his conquest. He looks over his many seeing glasses, and looks for three ponies that are the perfect match. After the failure of the last few specimens we was seriously starting to doubt the power supposedly foretold of by his adviser. His adviser which had given these to him. His adviser who swore they would work for what he needed. Darkhole was going to kill that zebra if these failed one more time. It looked like he might not need to. There in the seeing glass where three ponies, and unlike the other specimens they resonated perfectly with each other. Even better there was one from every race. Darkhole had not been this excited since he started these experiments. All there was left to do was relay the new orders to his pet. Which was as simple as talking into his special dog horn. Taking the horn he went to the window, and spoke out the new directions in it. It was always hard, as he had to be precise in his instructions. Even one misspoken syllable and, he would have three perfect test subjects dead on their hooves. What made it harder was he couldn't hear it for himself. He had been practicing thought, and he managed to effortlessly relay the directions. When Darkhole finished he went to his bed to get a good nights sleep. After all he had to be awake to greet his new tests. //-------------------------------------------------------// Mystic //-------------------------------------------------------// Mystic Chapter 1 I like to sit on my favorite hill after fights, and just think about them. Like the one I just had with my best friend and roommate Opal Whisper. She swears she didn't eat all the salad, but what was that leaf sticking out of her teeth then? It was a silly thing to get so worked up about, but I was saving it for my mom. Opal knows she’s coming over today. Or at least I thought she knew. If she ate the salad she probably didn’t know or forgot. “Sigh” well I had to get up, and go apologize now. I was the bad guy in this situation, so it’s only fair to Opal. She deserves it for being the best pony I could ever hope for in a friend. “TWEET! HALT!!” What!? it sound like she’s shouting at me? “YOU THERE STOP!” She is shouting at me!! This is annoying! I’ll just turn around a shout at her to.“what do you need?!” What!? That’s not a cop?! “Snicker! oh I got you good! HAH! serves you right!” Ugh! it’s just Opal (http://mirriora.deviantart.com/art/Opal-whisper-426331377). Silly girl what does she want now? “Jeeze you scared me Opal! What do you want?” I said to her. Well as long as she’s here I might as well apologize to her. “Oh well I was just carrying out my daily quota for revenge today.” she retorted. I bet she doesn't even know that word. “And you deserved it to. Blaming that salad thing on me. Can’t a girl be hungry, and you could have told me about your mom visiting.” Well at least she admitted it to me. “Yes yes I know, and I am sorry Opal. It’s just I thought I did tell you about mother. “sigh” forgive me please?” I had to sit after that. Opal is intense on her own, but also apologizing took it all out of me. She looked taken aback a little. “Oh…. Well of course I forgive you Mystic. Only best friends can’t stand each other as much as us” I think she was relieved that I said sorry. Opal is a big softy on the inside, and cares for our friendship more than anypony. Of course now I have to go get more lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, dressing, ect. “sigh” what a day. Then I also have to go my job! This day just got so much more harder. Oh well better go to the market. “Hey Mystic!” UGH! who is it now?! “Hey um are you doing anything today?” Arg! It’s John (http://mirriora.deviantart.com/art/John-426387533)! How many times do I have to say no! Well lets get on with this most recent rejection. As I turn around I see John Star standing a bit away with a mare friend! “what?!” I don’t get it? Didn’t he promise to never have another mare in his life? He said I was the only one for him. “Ah Mystic I just wanted to introduce you to my new mare friend. I realise I might as well give up courting you. I’ve had my heart broken by you to often. I wanted to introduce you to her” John…. I’m sorry…. Why do I hurt now? Well… well whatever! He has a life to live, and he finally stopped his excessive pursuits of me so its just fine. “O.K. I’ll met her. I don’t see why though. You should date whoever you wish. As long as it’s not me.” “Really?!” Why does he look surprised at that? “Oh… O.K. well never mind then. We won’t keep you longer Mystic. Have a good day.” He’s leaving. I need to say something… SAY SOMETHING!!!! “sigh” He’s gone… that was quick. I don’t have time to look over this encounter any longer! I have too many things to do today to dwell on it. First the store. Might as well get that over with. Walking to the store is always an undertaking for me. I mean with all the sights to see, and all the other ponies around I get drained quick. Like that sight. Just a fountain right? Wrong! that where me and Opal became friends, and that bush is where we became temporary enemies. “sigh” So many things to remember. I swear I need blinders. At least then I wouldn't get so side-tracked. Well at least the walk is over. O.K. Mystic just get in get the stuff and get out. Not to hard right? Of course things aren’t what they seem. First I need to remember what we do and don’t have. Then I also have a-lot things on my mind. Like that whole John thing, and how I’m going to eventually have to deal with my mom. She can be so intense sometimes. She kinda reminds me of Opal. Ugh! I can’t focus on that right now I have to get Salad stuff. Hm? Where’s the cucumbers? Should I ask? Might as well its there job to help me. I hope this isn’t too draning. “Hey um excuse me? Sir? Do you have any more cucumbers?” Oh great he’s looking at me now. Just bare with it Mystic you need his help. “Sorry miss we ran out of cucumbers. I’m afraid you’ll have to go to another store. I’m sorry for any inconvenience.” He didn't sound very sorry. Oh well glad that’s over. Got the stuff just get out! Oh good no line. I’m just going to tune this out. I don’t need this cashier talking my ear off about her domestic life. “excuse me?! ma-ma!” “Huh what?” oops a little too tuned. “What is it?” “I need you to pay for those that will be 10 bits please.” Right duh! Mystic pull yourself together. Did I bring the bits? “sigh” Oh good they're right here. “Oh right yes here” Please don’t touch me. Just take the stupid bits. “Thank you ma-ma have a nice day. Would you like help getting those in your saddlebag?” No! Please don’t touch me. Just grin and bare it Mystic, grin and bare it. “Oh yes please, this saddlebag is a bit broken” Why did I say that!! My bag is brand new! Gotta get out of here. Just get out of here. “bye” buck! I sounded like a criminal. Whatever I’m not even going to deal with the ponies on the ground. Just going to fly home. Oop other pegasus. Get away please. “Oh hey Mystic! how are you?!” darn it!!!! “Busy bye!” Almost home free. Don’t crash Mystic. Crumb! I’m going to fast!! “AAAaAAaaAAAHhhHHHhhhH!!!!!!” And there goes my door. “OOoowwww! ouch! that smarts.” “gasp” did the groceries break!? “sigh” Oh good they're fine. I don’t think I could survive another grocery trip. “Ehem! And just what are you doing breaking the door down Mystic Wings!” Oh no! I didn’t make it here before my Mother! Here comes a lecture. “Sigh” why must everything I do be wrong? “Sorry Mother I will have it replaced as soon as possible.” I have to sit for awhile so as soon as possible might be while. “See that you do! What are you doing without a speck of food in this house ether!? I am very hungry Mystic! Where is that salad you promised me!?” Ugh does she have to yell? “It’s right here Mother I was just out getting food when I crashed.” Don’t yell anymore. Please? You’ll wake Opals dog. “Hey hey HEY! what with all the shouting down here?” NO! Not Opal to!! Why do they have to keep shouting? “Woah! What happened to the door? Mystic did you crash through the door? Sweet!” Opal helped me up now, and at least that’s more than my Mom did for me. “SWEET!?!?! Excuse me young lady! Who are you?!” Buck! Mom never met Opal. I always dreaded this day. I hope mother approves of my best friend. “Oh uh Mom? This is my best frie-” “MYSTIC!! Who is this pony!?!?” Well maybe if you had stopped yelling I could have told you! “Well as I was saying this is Opa-” “Yo Mystic! Is this your mom!? She’s kinda intense if you know what I mean!” Does nopony hear me when I am talking?! “You know what! Introduce yourself. I am tired so I have to g-” “Intense!? Just what are you implying by that!?” “sigh” I’ll just sneak past these two. I hope they don’t notice me. “You know what I mean! You know! Intense! You know what I mean Mystic! Mystic?!” “sigh” Finally got away… Darn! I have to go back, and put the food in the fridge. You know what? No! I’m just going to go, and take a long nap, and forget today even happened. “hm?” “sniff” What’s that smell? It’s not Opals dog. It sort-of smells like a dog, but also not. Whatever it is it’s coming from my room. I hope Opal wasn’t doing another weird thing in there. Then I opened my door, and the last thing I saw was the ugliest pony ever. I couldn't even scream. //-------------------------------------------------------// Opal //-------------------------------------------------------// Opal Chapter 2 Revenge is not at the front of my mind, I don’t want to scare Mystic (http://mirriora.deviantart.com/art/Mystic-wings-422437991). No not at all, but look! She is giving me the perfect opportunity to exact revenge. Well I’m not a pony to pass up on that kinda deal. Oh no! She’s getting up better make this fast. “TWEET! HALT!! YOU THERE STOP!” “What do you need?” Ooh she looks surprised! Looks like it worked I totally pranked her good. “Snicker! Oh I got you good! HAH! Serves you right!” Well...not really, but you made me look bad. I have to do something right? “Jeeze you scared me Opal! What do you want?” Huh… she seems more annoyed than scared or pranked real good. Darn now I have that weird feeling I get when I make her feel bad. “Oh well I was just carrying out my daily quota for revenge today.” Man when did this lose all it’s luster?  “And you deserved it to. Blaming that salad thing on me. Can’t a girl be hungry, and you could have told me about your mom visiting.” I’ve never met her mom, but from what she tells me her mom is not the easiest pony to get along with. “Yes yes I know, and I am sorry Opal. It’s just I thought I did tell you about mother. “sigh” forgive me please?” Woah! she’s apologizing to me!? Darn it! It means she thinks she was the bad pony in that whole deal. No Mystic! It was me! I should have remembered something as important as you mom visiting.  “Oh…. Well of course I forgive you Mystic. Only best friends can’t stand each other as much as us” I should be the pony apologizing. Well there she goes. She always has such a busy day. if only she would let me help her. Oh well! I have stuff to do to…. Like…. Buck, I don’t have a carefully planned schedule like Mystic. I wish I could be more like her. Oh well… maybe I should get her a present. Oh, but what do you get a best friend? Oh I know! I’ll polish one of my super special talent rocks for her! Yes she always loved those! Hey, and I’m even on her favorite hill!. I’ll get a rock from here, and make it super special just for her. Now which one to choose? How about this? NO! This? NO!! This?!?!? NO!!!!! None of these rocks are good enough! “Ah! what?” What is that? It’s in my eye! Just blink it out. “OH WOW!” That is the best rock ever! This is the perfect one! Oh Mystic will love it! I have to get home quick! I wonder if I should clean my room? Polishing a rock takes a lot of time, and makes lots of heat. Yeah I probably should I can't even remember the last time I cleaned the room. It must smell like something died in there. Maybe Mystic can help me. Nah she has too much to do anyway to be helping me clean my room. I can do it myself. Well here I am at home… how did I get here? Oh well doesn't matter just gonna polish this rock for Mystic. “OOF!” Hey when did we get staries? Have we had these long? We must have. ‘ugh’ hmmmmmmm well I guess I can sort-of remember my room being up some stairs. That must be it yeah. I probably just didn't notice them. No time to lose i have to get this done for Mystic! heres my room. “heerrrggg!!!! ugh why wont my door open?!” Lets try a spell then. BAM powered up this baby “oof” What? Oh… theres so much junk in front of my door. “Man I really do need to clean this place up.” First though! Rock! Just clear away some stuff and presto! rock polishing room. O.K now just concentrate Opal. Concentrate! CRASH!!!! “huh what?” What was that? It came from the front door. Should I check it out? I guess I better. ‘sounds of shouting!’ Hm? What all this? “It’s right here Mother I was just out getting food when I crashed.” is that Mystics voice? “Hey hey HEY! what with all the shouting down here?” Mystic?  “Woah! What happened to the door? Mystic did you crash through the door? Sweet!” Why is my best friend on the ground? I guess I should help her up. “SWEET!?!?! Excuse me young lady! Who are you?!” Wait is this her mom? Why didn’t she help Mystic up? What kinda mom would do that? “Oh uh Mom? This is my best frie-” “MYSTIC!! Who is this pony!?!?” Wow! her mom yells more than me! I’ll have to fix that! “Well as I was saying this is Opa-” sorry Mystic but i have something to say! “Yo Mystic! Is this your mom!? She’s kinda intense if you know what I mean!” Yeah! Too much you yelling and not enough of me yelling! “You know what! Introduce yourself. I am tired so I have to g-” “Intense!? Just what are you implying by that!?” Oh I think she knows just what I mean! Well I know Mystic will back me on this! Right? “You know what I mean! You know! Intense! You know what I mean Mystic! Mystic?!” Wait? Where did Mystic go? Did she abandon me while I was defending her? What’s up with that!? “Ha!! She has abandoned you!! Well I think we both know what side she has taken now don’t we!?” Wow… She needs to stop yelling. Did Mystic really abandon me? Oh wait what was she saying before she left? hmmmmmmm…. “Ah! Oh I get it! you mis Mystics mom! we are talking too much!!! It was too much for Mystic ya hear!!??” If that true i guess I scared her off. “sigh” I didnt mean to. “What are you implying that my volume is too loud!? This is my regular volume of speak!” Really? How did Mystic not go deaf from you? “Whatever I’m going to go check on Mystic she might be hurt from her crash. “”sigh” I hope she’s ok. I really hope I didn't hurt her feelings. “sniff” Hmm? Whats that smell? It’s coming from Mystics room. “Ugh!” This is worse than my dog’s smell. What is that?! I opened the door and saw my best friend in the claws of the grossest pony ever! I of course did the logical thing and charged that beast to get it away from my best friend. Before I blacked out I saw another pony on it’s back. I almost didn’t see him because this thing was obstructing my view. Is that John?
