Now without further ado...please sit back, relax and enjoy chapter 16 of The Lost is Found!
Chapter 16: Minddovin do Faal Zul Ronit faal Krein!
We stay in this position for as long as it is possible for Rainbow Dash and several others to not fall asleep...which is a grand total of 5 minutes. "Okay...so open your eyes and then tell me what you feel from your experience." I say as I open my eyes and look to them with a small proud smile, hiding my pure annoyance at Rainbow and a few others for almost falling asleep when I was teaching them something very important. However, my attempt to humor them seems to pay off as they all smile back to me and I take this as a small victory and just let them be. "So...lets see ah yes Twilight tell me what you feel when you meditated on the basic concepts of the thuum." I say in a teacher like voice, causing her to snap to sudden attention and look to me with a happy and knowing smile.
"I...saw literally two forces. One red and the other blue. The blue one...my energy that I was putting off into the world around me and the red the energy that was attempting to push back on me." Twilight explains in wonder, causing all the others to perk up and look to her in curiosity. "The red and blue energy were in a struggle with one another...the lesser of the energy was mine but yet...it was able to beat the overwhelming amount of energy the world was pushing back on me. How is that possible?!" Twilight asks me skeptically.
"Ah...now you are starting see how The Thuum works!" I say in excitement, getting up as the rest look to me in curiosity. "The basic principle of Thuum is to be able to find your energy and notice the energy that pushes back on it and your spiritual energy. Now...did any of you see something similar?" I ask honestly and immediately I see AJ raise a leg and I call on her without hesitation. "AJ what is it that you saw?"
"Well...what I saw aint as deep or complex but...I done saw ma self buckin Apples and the tree was pushin back on me everytime I bucked it." AJ says happily, causing me to clap my hands together and giver her a thumbs up. "Yes! That is the exact same thing just in a different way of seeing it good job AJ you're getting it! Now...how about you Rainbow Dash or where you asleep?" I say now shifting my piercing teacher gaze to her, causing the cyan colored pegasus to look at me and break into a nervous sweat. "Why so nervous Dashie? I don't bite." I kid her, teaching her the metal torment I can play when one does not listen to my lectures.
"Uh....um....well." Rainbow has now turned red in the face and Pinkie has started to giggle as the nervous mare searches desperately to tell me anything that may sate my curiosity.
"So...you have nothing then?" I say in annoyance as I sigh and then look down to the ground and shake my head. "Great! She has nothing." I tell myself in annoyance.
"That is okay my little pony, I know you will get it." Celestia says in her normal warm motherly tone, causing me to smile slightly and then look back up to her in a proud smile.
"I don't know how she does that." I think to myself in amazement as I now look to both the alicorn sisters. "So...what is it that you two saw if anything at all?" I ask them with renewed hope that maybe Rainbow Dash may have just been the only individual who had not paid attention and decided to sleep instead of concentrating.
"That is a good question. I am not sure what I saw at least." Celestia says curiously, now placing a hoof to her chin.
"So...what about you Luna? Did you see anything interesting?" I ask her honestly, now trying to find an alternate way if they don't seem to get it to make them understand the concept of The Voice. This notion is further driven home by Luna growing a nervous look on her face and casting her eyes down to the floor.
"Okay so you saw nothin either, okay...well at least me and Twi saw somethin right?" AJ speaks up, now gently trotting over to me and nuzzling my cheek.
"Wait wait! I saw something really cool!" Pinkie suddenly speaks up, causing me to jump slightly and look to her in wonder. "I saw a mixer churning up thick cake batter and it was having to put more force than the batter or else it would not churn it up. Then that would mean no cake and no cake is..." I cut her off in her fast paced rant and give a warm smile to her.
"There you go! All it takes even if it seems ridiculous." I now point to her and smile, causing the rest of the mares minus Celestia and Luna who appeared deep in thought to giggle.
"Wait...what is everypony laughing at?" Pinkie asks looking around for something funny, only making us laugh a tad bit more.
"Sugarcube...don't pay no attention its just..." Applejack cannot finish her statement as she now bursts out laughing and then so does Rainbow Dash but I quickly give Rainbow a hard look and then she shuts up.
"It is nothing Pinkie just a very interesting way you put it. But if that is how you need to picture it then that is it. Now...Fluttershy, what is it that you saw?" I ask the silent crème colored pegasus, causing her to squeak and then shrink away from the group softly. "Don't be scared Fluttershy it is okay tell us." I coo to her as Twilight comes up besides her and nuzzles her as the group now goes quiet and look to her with encouraging eyes, causing her to shrink away even further.
"Uhh well I saw about...bodies on one another." Fluttershy squeaks out, now what I am guessing to be trying to subtle squeezing her back legs from her sitting position, causing me to shake my head and then blush.
"...What do you mean by bodies on one..." The others all start to ask the question in their eyes and before they can start to try to ask questions but a quick slashing motion to across my neck tells them to not even bother asking.
"...Now...let us move on." I say uneasily, now looking to Fluttershy who gives me a nervous smile and then hides her head beneath her wings. "So...everypony has a idea of what this process may look like correct?"
"Yes! I think we all do! Just give the sisters time and I think they will get it to." Twilight says with an honest smile but I turn to them to see if they are willing to move on and both of them nod to me with straight faces, obviously embarrassed that they could not come up with something sooner.
"...Okay now we move to the next step...learning about Rot do Suleyk or as they are know in common language, words of power." I say as I look to the ground in front of me and take in a deep breath. "Fus." I whisper, causing a slight bit of energy to then impact the ground as it forms into the Dovahzul way of writing. "Now...this is a basic word of power!" The impacted word on the ground pulses with raw powerful energy and chants with the sound of thousands of ancient chanting Dragonborn men and women. "Now...notice that it seems to radiate power. The name sake of what this is called should tell you why." I explain as let the word change back to English.
"So...these words are pronounced how in the dragon language?" Twilight asks with burning interest, now shaking her mane slightly.
"That is a good question Twilight. I mean...you can't speak this now. It takes the non Dragonborn years to be able to learn to read Dovahzul and even then one may never master it. However...I have managed to translate the ruins they use to what they would look like in our word system as you can see by these words of power."
"But what good does learning how to read words of power do?" Rainbow asks skeptically, causing Twilight's jaw to literally drop to the floor.
"Rainbow Dash! I know you don't like to read but it is important I imagine to speed up our learning." Twilight states in annoyance.
"But how? How do we learn this? Wait...can't your dragon friends help us?" Twilight Fluttershy asks me honestly and this causes me to sigh and shake my head in annoyance at what I was going to have to say.
"No. Most unfortunately no because they are still forbidden from teaching it to normal mortals by God since they are demons. Trust me they cannot even teach me."
"But then how did you learn?" Celestia asks me warmly.
"I didn't have to." I reply with a small smirk, causing a round of gasps to escape the mouth of the others in the group...all except for Luna and Celestia who do not seem surprised by this revelation at all. "I was born with this ability. I was able to speak, read and write Dovahzul long before English."
"Oh and that must be tied to your Dragonborn ability!" Twilight exclaims, starting to see where I am going with this.
"Huh? But how does that have to do with anything?" Pinkie giggles, now standing up and taking a piece of cake out of seemingly nowhere and quickly eats it, making satisfied sounds as she does so.
"How in the... never mind I forgot don't ask it is just Pinkie." I laugh softly. "Now without further ado I think that I need to try to get you to understand how to at least pronounce the words correctly, let us start with a basic word, Fus." I say slowly.
"Fuos!" They repeat to me and I flinch slightly at how...surprisingly off that it sounds coming from them.
"No no...Fus." I repeat slowly, making sure that the sound was crystal clear and they all try to say the word again...to no avail.
"This is very difficult to say. I am trying to mirror you exactly but it seems it is not as easy to mirror them as you say." Twilight says while she tries to twist her tongue to get the right pronunciation of the word and I just laugh slightly and then sigh.
"I told you...for many it takes years to even be able to speak the words properly."
"But then how are we going to be able to learn it then and use to defeat Xana?" Luna asks skeptically, a far cry from her usual optimistic self.
"That's a good one there. Aint gonna be no use if we can't use the darn thing."
"We could be doing other things to get ready to fight!" Everypony is shouting over one another and it is causing me to think that I am back in Hell with thousands of damned souls howling and screaming in horror and I clutch my head, gritting my teeth as the horrible memories climb over me.
"But we can't...I mean if that..."
"Fus Honaat Shar!" (Unyielding Sound!) This causes a massive boom that shakes the entire surrounding landscape and makes all the ponies cringe and cover their ears with their hooves. Now this sound does not last long...only for about 5 seconds but after that 5 seconds I then slowly sigh and sit down as the ponies shake their heads and uncover their ears, looking at me with varying levels of emotion. "You can glare if you wish I just...need you to stop arguing." I say firmly. "Arguing does not help! It is a form of discord in a group."
"But Discord is not in this group...or is he?" Pinkie giggles, now eyeing everypony suspiciously.
"No Pinkie I mean it is a form of disharmony!" I say angrily. "This is serious you have got to buckle down if you ever want to learn this you all!" I sigh loudly and then sit down, my head tucked between my knees. "The fate of Equis could depend on this. Hell maybe even the fate of all life. If we cannot stop Xana then everything else is defenseless."
"Okay so what if we cannot learn? Lets talk worse case scenario." Celestia says in her motherly voice mixed in with a hint of that of a confident leader. This was the one statement that I was fearing I would hear as I had never stopped to consider what it was to do less the little plan of mine ultimately failed me. This little fact of the unknown is enough to make my insides spin around in circles and I have to shake my head to get rid of the dizzy feeling.
"That is a problem in of that question cause this issue my friends...is the one thing that I failed to consider." I sigh in defeat as I Iook to my watch and then back to the ground. "Look...to wield the thuum is said to wield a power that Ronit faal krein or to put in easy terms to wield a power that rivals that of the sun and maybe...you are not strong enough yet. I know it is a terrible burden as well, cause once you do learn that you carry a power greater than that of what any other can wield." I say in defeat, not trying to give up on them but finding the more that I thought of it the more flaws I found in my plan. However I may feel this does not seem to sate the needs of my companions who make various levels of whispers between themselves.
"The power of friendship and love should allow us to persevere in this quest. It is a fact that we have proven many times over and I think that it can get us through even this." Twilight and Fluttershy speak up, causing a sudden dawning fact to revelate to me and instantly I facepalm.
"You don't think this is serious what we are saying? I mean every word that was said we have always been able to rely on friendship and the power it gives to overcome." Twilight explains and the others agree, but this only fuels my mind in knowing what was truly wrong with this picture.
"Well...this time you are gonna have to rely on the feelings of something far more evil and primal than that. You are going to have to use your anger and rage." I sigh, seeing Everyponies mouth now fall open in shock.
