Dead in civilization

"So, Twilight is studying necromancy. And you didn't notice." Younger Dead said. "Honestly, I didn't even see that coming. She too nice to do something evil." Younger Dead chuckled happily.

"Necromancy isn't really an evil thing, its just misunderstood. You should know that." Dead said as she rested on the grassy hillside in her dreamscape. "I wish I could have asked her to visit but..."

"Yeah I know, you had your hooves full. No need to explain." Younger Dead rolled over onto her stomach. "Would have been nice to get a visit though."

"Yeah, I will ask her tomorrow, promise." Dead sighed happily. Dead paused for a moment and then changed the conversation topic. "So Dinky seemed to know about Discord, what do you recon that was about?"

"Well I assumed what they said was true. That being that Discord took over Ponyville for a short while." Younger Dead perked up. "We can ask her when she arrives. Somepony has entered our dream..." Young Dead jumped up and ran around. "Oh! I'm so happy!"

"I will give you two some peace..." Dead chuckled as she faded away. "Don't be up too late..." Dead's voice echoed in the dreamscape. Younger Dead darted around happily.

"Hey Dead, I came back. Just like I promised." Twilight called out as she materialized in midair, the dreamscape's gravity took effect and soon she was falling down to the ground. "Ahhhhh!" Twilight shouted as she plummeted towards the ground. Just as Twilight was about to crash into the ground younger Dead gently caught her with her magic.

"Gotcha!" Younger Dead said happily. "Phew that was close, you could have broken the dream." Younger Dead gently placed Twilight next to her.

"Are you saying I'm fat?" Twilight jokingly asked. Younger Dead twitched and started sweating.

"N-Not at all! Its just that you are a very... Powerful being, if you were to collide with the dream you would cause damage." Younger Dead stuttered. Twilight smiled lightly and younger Dead relaxed slightly. "Oh, you were joking..." Younger Dead chuckled slightly.

"Its quite alright Dead, so do you have anything to talk about? Anything on your mind?" Twilight happily asked.

"Hm... A few things perhaps." Younger Dead rubbed her chin. "It has come to my attention that you recently had an encounter with Discord."

"Discord? I remember him, tried to take over Equestria by driving me and my friends apart. He turned the elements around." Twilight informed. "Fluttershy was mean, Rainbow Dash was disloyal, Rarity was greedy, Applejack kept lying, Pinkie wasn't laughing at anything. And I lost my friends..." Twilight gave a long drawn out sigh. "But we beat him in the end, and now he is a stone statue in Canterlot gardens." Twilight chuckled evilly.

"Nice to see you're not a one-hundred percent goody four shoes." Younger Dead chuckled happily, she sat down and patted the space next to her. Twilight sat down next to her. "I knew him, back when I was out rightly insane, well not so insane but..."

"What did he do to you?" Twilight jumped in, sounding defensive.

"Nothing, he tried to convince me that I was doing wrong. He failed. I sent him on his way... I think anyway. He is a bit of an oddball." Younger Dead rubbed her forehead and rested on the ground. "What was he like with you?"

"Cruel, very cruel. He tricked us. For the element of disharmony, he sure planned that very well." Twilight laughed. "He planned everything down to a T, save my friendship reports."

"Well, I for one am glad that it worked out. Now I have to ask..." Younger Dead started.

"Can I ask you something first?" Twilight interrupted. "If you don't mind."

"Uh sure, ask away Twilight." Younger Dead replied.

"What do you know about the Bone-weavers folly?" Twilight curiously asked. Dead paused and Twilight suddenly froze up. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to!"

"The Bone-weavers folly... It is a relic that I made a while ago." Younger Dead started. "My specialty is Bone-weaving, so it seemed fit that I made the relic for it."

"But what does it do?" Twilight puzzled.

"I amplifies a necromancer's abilities in Bone-weaving of course. I also supplies the user a large amount of magical energy to preform spells with. It acts like a catalyst and an energy supply." Younger Dead promptly said. "Now it was made when Me, Nazz, Marcia and Grim were experimenting with methods to contain Legion. We made them by mistake." Younger Dead chuckled happily. "We were molding our magics... Don't ask why, but we were."

"And that is what made the relics?" Twilight asked. "I take it you had knew what you did to make it?"

"Yes, I know how to make another but... I don't really want to tell or show you, no offense but knowing how to make powerful relics could be dangerous. Anything could target you." Younger Dead warned. "Its not that I don't trust you..."

"Its fine Dead, I understand." Twilight said warmly.  "So what were you going to ask me then?"

"Hm, I appear to have forgotten." Younger Dead chuckled. "Did you have anything you wanted to talk about, besides the folly?"

"Well, I guess we could talk about stuff. Anything on your mind?" Twilight said, throwing the proverbial ball back at younger Dead.

"Well... What kind of stuff do you like?" Younger Dead slowly asked. "Nothing personal, just want to know you a bit better."

"Well I enjoy reading, writing reports, libraries, locking myself in and doing a case study, hanging out with my friends as of late, researching magic, practicing magic..." Twilight spent the next ten minutes listing all of her activities and pastimes to younger Dead. "...And that about covers it." Twilight said as she finished.

"Uh-huh. Good to know..." Younger Dead rubbed her head. "Well I like..." Younger Dead proceeded to spent the next twenty minutes explain to Twilight her hobbies and pastimes. "And last but not least, necromancy! I think that about covers everything both me and other Dead enjoy. Hint hint." Younger Dead chuckled and winked at Twilight. "Now go on, you have a party to prepare!"

"Wait wha...?" Twilight was interrupted as she flew out of the dream and back into reality. "What just happened?" Twilight asked herself. "Wait..." Twilight slowly got up and headed towards the door. "I've got to warn them!" Twilight said as she ran outside and towards the designated party area.
