When The World Is Gone

-- The Aftermath: Adagio Dazzle --

This is our palace. Our sanctuary. Our home forever.

Celestia's Castle is ours for the taking. I feel so powerful at this very moment I feel like I could take on the world and win... I'm sitting in the throne that used to be Celestia's.

The throne was sitting atop meager little flights of stairs, so when a minion would come to ask me for something, I would tower of them. Cower before me fools!

Realizing this now, but I never thought we would be powerful enough to overthrow Princess Celestia. But on the night of our last concert she showed at the last minute and now she works for us. Well... sort of. And she deserved it! I deserve energy, it's all mine!

She has a lot of resistance on her, she is only half controlled, trying to fight our music song we used on her at the last minute of the concert.

Weak.

Weak!

WEAK!

She's so weak!

It affected her, but she wasn't fully compliant with us, right now she resides within the lower levels of the castle. And I'm just waiting for her to finally be weak enough to make her mindless and another servant for one of us. Slowly, but surely she'll come around and when she does I'll be ready.

Everywhere you look you'd see a minion with glowing green eyes doing the chores around the entire castle. All of the mindless lived near the castle to serve our every whim, and its nice to have plenty of the mindless around to give us negative energy, or fight with others when were low. It feels so wonderful.

Our minion's burst through the door carrying two large thrones for Sonata and Aria. They awaited my orders. "Set those two thrones right beside me," I ordered. I pointed at my left and right side of the throne. They obediently carried the and set them gently onto the left and right of me.

They looked so lifeless and dull. I loved it! They moved the big thrones upwards towards my throne, resting on the balanced surface of stairs. The movers grunted, but didn't complain and slowly moved them right beside me. I gazed at the beautiful bejeweled thrones laid beside me. One was completely covered in blue sapphire stones just for Sonata and the other one was bejeweled of purple jewels just for Aria and for me: crimson red jewels. I don't even realize I want so many jewels!

Red is secretly my favorite color. I don't usually wear red, but I love the symbolism behind it. I love how it can mean a bunch of things. It can mean blood, love. But for me personally? I prefer the original red symbolizing evil and hatred.

As I gazed at the beautiful jeweled thrones that laid before me someone poked me behind my back.

I turned around and saw Sonata and Aria grabbing a pony by its arms and tugging it across the floor against his will, he tried to fight against them. He tried kicking them with his legs, but he should know better. We're more powerful when we're together.

WEAK!!

"Hey Adagio, we found another pony in Canterlot," Aria said, grunting and trying to keep hold of the prisoner.

"He's fighting harder than we expected, but hey! We found him!" Sonata said positively. True Sonata. Very true.

I stepped down and took a good look at the pony. He was deprived of food, by how skinny he looked. I could see his rib bones through his skin. His chin was broken open and bleeding. His knees and elbows were scuffed up. Surely he will do anything to get food. He looks so weak I could kill him.

"Look's like someone's hungry," I taunted. "Minions! I need food!" I yelled into the air, with in a matter of seconds a pony arrived with a yummy, delicious plate of a small daisy sandwich. I took it from the silver plattered dish it was in and waved it in his face.

He gazed at it longingly, licking his tongue and reaching for it with his mouth. I moved it farther away from him and he so desperately desired the small sandwich. "Are you hungry?" I asked sympathetically fake to him. Aria and Sonata snickered at him. He nodded mesmerizedly while I waved it in his face.

I smiled devishly, "What would you do to get food on your plate for the rest of your life?"

"Anything!" he answered immediately.

"Well then, let me sing you a little song before I give you some food," I snickered maniacally. Aria and Sonata and I started vocalizing. Our song echoed throughout the entire castle.

"You didn't know that you felt,

Now that your under our spell.

Blindsided by the beat, clapping your hooves, moving your feet,

You didn't know that you felt,

Now you've fallen under our spell."

Aria and Sonata let the prisoner to go only to find out that he started following the instructions to the song. He started clapping his hooves and stomping his feet. Its working! His eyes started to become an evil shade of green.

"We've got the music, makes you move it, got the song that makes you lose it,

We say jump, you say "How high?"

Put your hands up to the sky.

"We've got the music, makes you move it, got the song that makes you lose it,

We say jump, you say "How high?"He jumped into the air.

Put your hands up to the sky. And then he raised his hooves to the sky.

You didn't know that you felt,

Now that your under our spell,

"Listen to the sound of my voice,

Soon you'll find you don't have a choice,

He swayed back and forth just listening to the song. He loved every single minute of it.

"Captured in the web of my song,

Soon you'll all be singing along,

More minions started appearing through the entrance door. Soon they all started dancing to our song.

"We've got the music, makes you move it, got the song that makes you lose it,

We say jump, you say "How high?"

Put your hands up to the sky.

We've got the music, makes you move it, got the song that makes you lose it,

We say jump, you say "How high?"

Put your hands up to the sky.

All of them were dancing and then they started arguing with each other, giving off negative energy for us to feed off of. The green smoke drifted into our necklaces, giving us power, making us feel stronger. That was the purpose of the song to make them give off negative energy and become one of our permanent minions once more.

You didn't know that you felt,

Now that your under our spell.

You didn't know that you felt,

Now that your under our spell! I gave out a maniacal laugh and felt stronger and more reassured that my minion army will always be mere snacks to us.

I LOVE THE ENERGY SO MUCH!

"I lied about the sandwich," I said out loud, but he didn't care. There was no time for eating, "You have chores to do." I said and shooed him out to go clean anything that had dust on it and he obediently went and looked for something to do with a blank expression on his face.

Today was another wonderful day filled with feeding off the negative energy of others and I loved it!

I am not crazy, all I want is power.
