To do that which I was asked.
Chapter 5 - I Make A Vow.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI walked down the large, spacious, wasteful, sparkling clean hallway towards my room, they put me about midway between their towers… God i’m going ti have to break it to them that I like them only as friends, Sure, They are both beautiful, but theres also the fact that I practically raised them.
I noticed the sun was setting, (Luna can design shapes into the moon but she can’t move it, Celestia CAN’T move the sun, neither can move the planet) when I spotted a pair of guards, the one on the left, a girl, took her helmet off and smiled at the other one, who had already had his off.
The girl was Perc, much to my surprise, and the boy I had never met, He had blue hair and his armour had purple star insignias on it…
I remember now! Shining Armou- wait, isn’t he fucking the babysitter princess. Ah well, either way I’ll let the kids have their fun (Hopefully not to much).
So it seems I ‘forgot’ to mention just how my abilities work. You see, much like in the game, Tasty Planet, when I eat something my skin turns into that colour. I can eat anything, emotions, (Yes emotions are physical, Magic Emotions or something) Meat, Veg, Fruit, Gems, and literally anything, even dragon scales! So as you can imagine I never quite go hungry anymore, I still like the taste of meat, which is why I hunt, but I don’t specifically need it. I also may or may not have eaten a Draconequus corpse, and so, can do a little summoning magic, I don't really use it that often (So it is weak compared to Discord, maybe a normal unicorn level), because Cheaters use magic, Awesome people Eat Everything that makes them mad.
I asked a passing guard (on duty) what the time was, he said that it was getting near 6pm so I started heading to the royal dining hall.
I arrived not five minutes later and entered, noticing that the Elements of Harmony… I’m going to call them the Mane 6 from now on, and Spike, were sitting there already eating. I sat down at the far end of the table, (The princesses are petty, no matter what they say, and will probably ask worse questions if i sat up there instead of down here) The table only had enough room for about fourteen people, with the princesses sitting next to each other at the head.
A waiter came and took my order, I asked for a salad with gems in it (I would have ordered meat if it was just me and the Princesses).
“So where were you today Omnus?” was the question Tia asked, after waving for the guards to leave the room… uh oh.
“I was just out wandering the city, It’s amazing what a hood and galoshes can do for a persons figure, Ya know?” I said, not exactly lying but still hiding the truth.
“Now thats a gosh-darn lie!” said Applejack adamantly calling me out
“So what were you doing then Omnus?” asked Tia, with a confident smile on her face.
“What I do is my business and mine alone. I will say this once and once only Princesses. Drop It.” I said bluntly, narrowing my eyes at them
“We do not know what thou art talking about Omnus, We art merely concerned for thou’s safety and wondered how thy day was.” Said Lu, slightly haughtily.
“If you will excuse me, I think I’ll go create another Badlands, Perhaps we can call this one The Wastelands.” I said, standing up form my half finished meal, and tossing the gems to Spike. Who was minding his business.
So I went stress hunting, It was fun, the hydra was a challenge compared to the normal stuff in the forest.

I watched him walk out, angry, and winced. It’s very rare that Omnus even gets angry, rarer than even I, and yet we made him mad in mere minutes. Perhaps mother was right, but that is an apology better suited for later, when he is calm… maybe I could finally get him alone.
“Excuse me for saying this Princess, but, What was that!? It’s like you were interrogating him!” I hear Twilight say, confused.
“We had an incident regarding him this morning, He was meditating about his past life and started crying. He cries less often than a prisoner form Tartarus escapes.” I say, calmly.
“Well princess, If you’ll here my opinion, Maybe he was thinking ‘bout family, can’t exactly blame him for keeping that from ya.” Reasoned Applejack.
“Nah! I bet he was crying over something like not getting a sandwich before the shop ran out or something, maybe about an evil plan that failed.” Said Rainbow Dash (Just why does she hate Him so much?)
“Why do you hate him so much? I mean, if thats ok to ask…” said Flutter Shy.
“Because He’s evil, he doesn’t have a good bone in his body!” Said Dash, stubbornly.
“He practically raised me and Luna.” I said, “He was pretty much our father.” She paled at that, realising she insulted someone who was a parent to us (and hopefully, future consort).
“Well I think he’s one of this villains that act all nice, then stab you in the back when you least expect it, or maybe he already has and you don’t know it!” said Rainbow… I think she's been reading to many of those Daring Do novels I had personally published.

There was that merchant, pain, then nothing, I-I’m only ten for gods sake! Why me… What happened to Mark? Will he help me. I hope so. I’m so scared Mark, please, help me.
I was surrounded by weird horse-people hybrids, they, they were all pointing those spears at me and i, I panicked. Mark, I hurt them, I hurt people. Mark, whats wrong with me.
I sat there crying in my cell is what was called ‘The Royal Dungeon’ And those weird horse people came. they, they were asking what I was, as if I was the weird one, Mark, help me, please Mark. I miss you… Big brother.
The big, mean dark one came in again today, still asking the same question, Who art thou?, Art thou of relation to Omnus Compositae. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS! i want to scream, but i can’t, they’ll just hurt me again. Big brother please, help.
The white one came in today, she’s a lot nicer than the blue one. She always brings me food and asks the same questions, but today was different. She said some words that scared me.
“My friend, Omnus, He was crying today, he said it was about the past and I can’t help but feel as though he had a little sister. Considering he’s human though. It’s unlikely.” Could Omnus Compositae be my brother? Could my brother have left me to rot in the dungeon?
Nah, he wouldn’t do that, theres no way. Right?

POV Change, Omnus / Mark
———————————————————————————————————————————
I was walking around, just wandering, trying to clear my head late at night. I eventually found myself drawn to the dungeons. I walked down the steps and grabbed a torch, just walking in any direction my body chose, while my mind wandered it’s own path.
That is, until I saw her. A human. Dressed as Korra from Legend Of Korra. I sat there for who knows how long. Just watching my sister, Jane, sleep. I made a vow then.
“I will get you out Sis. No matter what I have to do. No matter who I have to break. I will get you out. Then you will be free. We can be a family again. Even if we are being hunted by ponies. They can’t stop me anyway. So I WILL keep you safe. I will not lose you again.” I vowed silently
“Never Again.”
I woke up the next morning. Plotting how to get her out. I eventually decided to just barge in and take her, consequences be damned. If anyone got in my way… Well I can eat anything…No remains. I will not fail her again. Never.
I started crying. Why was she even in the dungeon? She would never hurt anyone, She's only 10 for fucks sake! (I used magic to check her age) If this is how Luna and Tia treat people… I can’t exactly trust them anymore can I?
Maybe Discord was right. Maybe the ponies have ruled to long. Pride comes before a fall. The only variables are who trips them, and if they get stabbed while they’re down.
I was just sitting there, trying, unsuccessfully, to stop crying. Eventually, whoop-dee-fuckin-doo the queen bitch of the gay pride parade waltzed on in…
“It’s not a good day to test me Girlie.” I say, gruffly. “I’m warning you now, don’t fucking do anything, don’t fucking threaten me, Don’t even fucking talk to me or I Will, End You.” I said. matter-of-factly
She fucked off right quick after that. I sighed, rubbing my face with my hands. On one hand, she’ll now be to scared to annoy me. On the other, She will defiantly tell the others about this and I’ll have to deal with the fallout.
Oh well. If Tia asks I’ll just say I’m still mad over last night. The truth… kind of.
I was right. Tia and Lu barged in, in the middle of me getting dressed. They blushed and then went.
“Did you threaten Rainbow Dash.” Said Tia, not really asking
“Yes, I did.” Was all I said, then I walked past them and started heading off the the top of the mounting. They followed me, of course
“Why dis thou threaten her?” Said Luna.
“She had been threatening me for the past couple days, i felt it prudent she knows what will happen if she continues.” With that said I grew wings and took off. flying to the top now…
Oh right they have wings as well.
“You -“ Tia started
“Drop it.” was all I said before teleporting to the gardens and then going to the center of the maze to just lay down and relax for a while.
Before long it was dinner time again. This time things went a little differently, with Applejack and Rarity blatantly glaring at me, Tia tired of me, Twilight confused, Spike Indifferent, Rainbow not even looking in my direction, and Pinkamina muttering something about throwing me an ‘adult party’, whatever that is… wait… Adult party as in, Strippers? If i’m right Pinkie will definitely be able to throw me a party. Fuck. Yes. Flutters was either studying me with her eyes, or undressing me with them.
Before long it was over, and I showered, then went to bed, I would get Discord’s answer, then I would free her. At any cost.
