Falling Into A New Life
Chapter 12
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhy hello there again, still reading my personal journal? I didn't think the life of a demon would interest you very much, especially since I've constantly told you not to read this. Oh well, not much I can do about it. So you're probably wondering what I'm talking about. After I went out to explore, look around, you know, just enjoy not killing things for a bit, I got kidnapped. That's right, the amazingly strong demon that I am, got knocked the fuck out and kidnapped. To make matters worse, or better depending on how you think about it, I wasn't even kidnapped by a demon. You heard me correctly,(read me?), it wasn't demons. Now you might be asking, 'Oh my, what else could have done such a thing?' the answer will surprise you. So get ready, here is the story about how my life changed once again.
First thing I noticed when I awoke, everything was shit. My eyesight was blurry, I was dizzy, I couldn't make out what I was hearing, and I had a splitting headache. Thankfully my awesome demon powers kicked in, and I started getting better. The first thing that was fixed was my hearing. I wish it wasn't. While still dealing with all the other symptoms, I had to listen to some jackass repeatedly say "wake up" over and over again. She didn't shout it, didn't say it impatiently, just kept on telling me to wake up with a bored and excited voice. Didn't even know that was possible. After about ten seconds, my headache, dizziness and everything else was gone to. Can you guess the first thing I did?
"In the name of all that is holy, shut the fuck up!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, with the most venom I could.
"Oh good, you're awake. I'll be right back." With that she opened a door and walked out, before closing it. I took the time to look at my surroundings. I was in an empty room with no windows, one door, and nothing else. I personally was chained to the floor by, you guessed it, chains. They had glowing gold runes running and crisscrossing their entire length. Whenever I thought about or tried moving away I found I couldn't. My body just wouldn't respond. I could still move, but I couldn't try moving from my spot, and I couldn't attack the chains. When I reached for my mana, I couldn't touch it. It was still there, I just couldn't make it do anything. I was in anti-demon chains in a locked room,(I assumed) by some annoying pony.
Wait a sec... oh shit that was a pony. I was stupefied by what I just saw. Ponies aren't supposed to be able to do anything. They're basically husks. Well, more like walking jail cells for the actual pony's mind. But that pony, he was fucking bored. And when I yelled at him, he actually seemed happy for me to be awake. But, I mean, he can't have emotions! You can't have them with no soul! You can be emotionless with a soul, but you can't be soulless with emotions!
I was interrupted from my musings, when seven beings walked in. There was two pegasi, two unicorns, and two... ponies. The seventh, well, I'll get back to that. Let's do the pegasi first. One was blue, with a rainbow colored main and tail, the other was yellow, with a pink mane and tail. The yellow one was hiding behind 'rainbow' and shyly looking at me. We'll call her 'shy'. Next is the unicorns. The first was marshmallow white, with a purple main and tail, and the second was purple with a, well, I think it was dark blue? Yeah that sounds right, dark blue mane with a magenta stipe going through it, same with the tail. Their names will be 'prissy' and 'magenta' respectively. Last were the two normal ponies. One was completely pink, in every way, and the other was orange with a yellow mane and tail. The orange one also had freckles and a stetson, so she will be know as 'farmer' and you already know what I called the pink one. Though, just in case you're an idiot, I called her 'pinkie'.
Finally... we have the seventh. I honestly had no idea what the hell it was. It was like the crack baby from an animal orgy. Why do I say that? Because it had a limb from different animals. Goat head and horn, antler, horse and raptor legs, snakey tail and body, with a lion paw and eagle talon. It was fucked up. What was even worse though, is that it had a bat and bird wing on each side, and was somehow floating. I don't mean flying, I mean it fucking slithered through the air and never touched the ground. Didn't even flap its wings. What really got me, was when it spoke.
"Hmm, so you have finally awoken. I was getting impatient."
Don't judge me. "... what?"
"Ahh, the same reaction every time. Hopefully the result won't be the same to." The thing spoke, with mirth filled eyes. "My name is Discord, and I have a proposal for you."
My eyes narrowed at this. Saying yes to something I didn't understand is what got me in to this mess. I wasn't going to make the same mistake again. "What kind of proposal? And what's in it for me?"
His eyes seemed to sparkle after I said that. "Why many things an upstanding demon like yourself would want. I'm sure by the end of this conversation you will be begging for the job. First however, I'll need to remove that curse." What? "Can't have my employees under the influence you see. That would be unprofessional." Discord leaned in close, and his eyes seemed to swirl, before I felt his... appendage touch my forehead. The next thing I knew was the worst pain of my life, before clarity.
Have you ever done drugs? And I mean the strong hallucinogenics that you can't even tell your on anymore once they kick in. How about getting a minor surgery where they give you some laughing gas? While you're all drugged up you can't really tell can you? Maybe you know somethings off, but you can't really tell what it is. And when it ends, you get that absolute clarity where you know just how badly you were fucked up, and how clearly you can think now. Ha, remember that? Makes you all nostalgic doesn't it? If you don't remember, thats from my like, first or second entry. Anyway it sums up how I felt right then. I remembered all the times I felt off, how I was a little less caring, or more emotionless then I should have been. I remembered how the first heart I ate traumatized me, and the rest didn't even matter anymore. Safe to say, I was confused and had no idea what was going on.
"Quite the feeling isn't it? To feel that burden on your mind gone, and to judge things for your self. I suppose you're wondering what I did. You see, demons born here have a curse put on them. It's a world wide spell created by Emperor Frost." The amount of hatred in his voice was startling. "What the spell does, is quite ghastly. When ever a demon eats another demons heart, they lose more of their own. And I don't mean the physical kind, no I mean the figurative. They lose the emotions and mentality that would make them able to care about others. They become colder and colder, just like Frost himself. In fact, the entire schooling system is to make as many cold hearted demons as possible. Wondering why?" I nodded. "Frost isn't happy with just conquering this world, no no, he wants to send out as many demons as he can, to conquer others in his name. That's what the contract for demons is about.
Any soul you come to posses, automatically falls under frost's ownership. That's right, no matter what you do, all your hard work will get you nowhere but under him. So, obviously he needs to be stopped, for your own sake just as much as ours. I certainly wouldn't want to be his lackey for eternity." I really didn't want that no. "Now you might be wondering where you come in, well keep wondering I'm not there yet." ... "Originally, the girls here were going to use a super weapon to defeat frost, but he threw it into the void. The void is the emptiness between the multiverse and connects to everything. It's also constantly changing and almost impossible to track things through. The weapon could be anywhere and I'll never find it." Does he expect me to? "Now since we can't use them anymore, we needed a new plan. This, is where you come in. If you say yes, I'm going to gift you with power and knowledge beyond your wildest dreams, and send you back in time. You might be thinking, what? but discord, that's impossible, time magic doesn't work like that.
Normally you would be right, but I say fuck the rules I'm me. With my gifts, you will wipe the floor with old frost, and stop all this from ever happening. Unfortunately for me, this spell will cost me my life. Also if you succeed this version of the universe will never happen, and everything from it but you will seise to exist. So I don't really need to worry about loosing my life in the first place, no biggie." Wow the ponies by him look depressed, like holy shit. "Now since I know you're going to accept, since you get endless power and freedom from frost, I'm going to tell you what's going to happen. I'm going to teleport you to your room. You are going to grab whatever it is you need, and then I'm going to teleport you back after five minutes. Then I'm going to send you back in time, and everybody looses but you. Ready? Bye."
And just like that I was back in my room. Why did I take the time to wright this? Well, It only took me like 20 seconds to grab my books and journal, so this is how I choose pass the time. Now, I need to steel myself for whats coming, because I'm pretty sure it's all bullshit, and I'm about to die or something. I don't know, I don't understand what just happened all that well. Wish me luck -Shade
