Falling Into A New Life
Chapter 13
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOh my god it wasn't bullshit. Ok, I don't have a lot of time to write this, so sorry if it seems rushed. I just hope their fight doesn't end to quickly. After discord teleported me back, he gave me no more time to prepare. Just touched my head and did the swirly eyes thing, and it was amazing! The amount of knowledge he passed was staggering, I never would have believed there was so much to learn about magic. Not only that, but he also improved my mana. You know how I learned about the hole branching out thing right? Well, he basically took my mana, and changed it into a branch permanently. Normally that would be bad, but do you know what branch he chose? Energy, as in everything. Mana in itself is a type of energy, and energy is in everything. Matter is energy, light is energy, bitterly everything. I can literally manipulate everything with my mana now.
With the power I have, I can even create things out of thing air, instead of just manipulate them. Like I can create fire, instead of combusting air, or I can create snow, instead of manipulating the water vapor in the air. It's staggering how much more I can do now. That isn't even the end of it. To make sure I would win, he attached my soul to a known force. Thanks to the actual books of information in my head, I know what that means, and can hopefully dumb it down for you. A spirit, is a being attached to a force, and gains strength from that force. Like an air spirit for example,(pretty sure that weird voice was one), would be stronger the bigger its domain. A domain is a literal area the spirit controls absolutely. Like it knows everything that happens in that area. The 'Arc' spirits are those who attach themselves to a figurative force, like an emotion. The more that spirit feels that emotion, it gains strength. It also gains strength from others feeling that emotion. Unlike a normal spirit, only one of these can exist in a given universe.
Something about metaphysical domination and boundaries, I don't know, I didn't get all that information. Since I am... was? Since I was a demon, I was already somewhat attached to knowledge. Which is to say I gained strength from it. Since a connection was already there, discord just made it complete and boom, unholy demonic spirit of knowledge is born. Or am I no longer a demon at all? I really don't understand all of it, but I'm leaning towards demonic spirit. On the weird side, my wings now have feathers. I have absolutely no way to explain that, in any way shape or form. Like the knowledge I have doesn't explain why that would happen, and even leans towards it not being able to. Remember when I mentioned domains? Well, an Arc spirit can build their own domain in something called the aether. Basically if my physical body is destroyed while I have a domain, I can just reform there. However, to build one I need to create like an altar type thing, with will be the center of my power. If it gets destroyed, because someone found a way to enter my domain, I die. So bad luck for physical domains, I will only be killable to other Arc spirits. Hopefully there isn't that many of them.
Anyway back to discord, after he did all that he and the other six mares started glowing. The ponies surrounded me and discord, and a pentagram, I kid you not, a pentagram formed under me. Things got even weirder, win discord swiped a claw through the air, tearing a hole. He started speaking in what should never be considered a language, and red hot glowing cracks appeared on him. Next thing I knew he shattered, and I got sucked through the rift thing and landed at the edge of a forest. Then things got weird
After I got my bearings,(being blasted with knowledge and power is very distracting), I looked around me. I was in a weird ass forest, with trees laughing maniacally, bunnies eating tigers, and a checkerboard sky with water being sucked up into it, and coming back down in what I hope was chocolate milk. To my left was two giant ass ponies, with both wings and a horn, fighting discord with glowing trinkets. Yep you heard me, fucking discord. Now others my wonder how he got here, or stupid things like that. I know he's dead, and I know this is the past. Ergo, past discord. I didn't really see the importance of the moment, until he called the two ponies princesses. This is the fucking story. The two princesses battle the monster with the weapon and frost betrays them. If I remember correctly, frost is suuuuper trusted by them, and randomly telling them he's evil is a stupid idea.
So here I am, waiting for the battle to end, soaked in what is thankfully chocolate milk, and fighting off a horde of bunnies. It looks like it will end soon, but don't worry. I cast a spell to make this journal record the important moments whenever I'm not writing in it. Now you won't miss what happens, of course I don't know how well it will write things, so there is that. I upped the spell to give it minor sentience, so it should work fine. It will even learn from what I've written. What's the worst that could happen? If I do fail, and this is my last entry well...I hope after all that's happened, you can understand why I'm the way I am. I tried to be good and do right, but I don't think I was very successful. What I accomplished doesn't matter anymore, no one but me even remembers it. At first no one was supposed to read this journal, but over time it has become my confession. Not that it matters, this book will probably be burned once found. Who would want to read the journal of a demon?
Satisfied, I placed my journal under my wing. I had to be careful with it, I didn't want it to fall as I flew. I took to the skies, while watching the sisters get ready to sign. I had to hurry, so I gathered my magic, and used it to both propel me, and remove the air in front of me. I lurched forward at an incredible rate, almost unable to perceive what I was doing. Within a second, I had reached frost, and with my speed I flew through him, grabbing his heart within my jaws. I glanced back to his shock filled face, his eyes staring at his still beating heart. He opened his mouth to speak but I quickly swallowed it, cutting him off. Gone was the over bearing power from before, and I watched in glee as he fell away to dust, before I turned to the sisters.
"What hath thou done foul creature? You hath ruined this day of unending praise. Prepare to face the wrath thou has wrought upon thineself."
Uh oh, this was exactly what I wanted to avoid. "Wait! Just take a closer look at that contract. There are wards preventing you from noticing, but that contract was meant to steal the souls of this entire world! I have come to prevent such a catastrophe! Please look at the contract, before you make any decisions." Maybe they'll give me a chance?
"Thou darest to not only slay, but befoul the name of our friend. We shall imprison you forever more for thine wretchedness! Be bound in stone, creature of foulest intent!"
Shit shit shit shit shit, that rainbow thing is coming right at me. Wait, where's my journal? Ahh! Holy shit that hurts. Oh my god I'm turning to stone, oh my god, what do I do? None of the knowledge I was gifted tells me how to fix this! Maybe I can... nope I'm made of stone. Wait, umm, I'm still conscious. The blue one said I would be here forever... and I can still see even if I can't move. Am I... am I stuck here like this? Forever? I didn't this could even remotely happen. I don't, what do I even do? The white one is looking at the contract! Her horn is glowing and, yes! With that look of shock she must have found out! Now she will release me, and I will be found a hero! What? NO! Don't look at me like that, please don't leave, I... I don't want to be left alone. Great, now what do I do?
Master tucks me away safely, within the crook of his wing. He watches with a keen eye, as the battle closes. Discord looses, and the princesses take great pleasure in watching him get stoned. The never emperor runs to them, and master takes to the skies, carefully making sure I don't fall. While they are all distracted, master swoops in from behind, using his magic to increase his speed exponentially. Master tears through the never emperor, heart in jaws. Ow, master dropped me. Master swallows heart, as the never emperor crumbles to the ground, forever dead. I watch on in shock, as Master turned to the Princesses.
They have looks of horror on their face, and the weapon is glowing again. Master yells for them to look at the damning contract, to really look at it. He says it will explain everything. The weapon hits master, and I feel him contemplating whats happening to him. He did not expect eating the never emperors heart would get him stoned. I watch as princesses faces grow shocked, once they look at contract closely. They notice me on the ground. The blue one picks me up. They look at my stoned Master with sorrow, as they fly away. Master is frustrated. I will log all that occurs, and masters thoughts, so he might reward me on his return. I must improve upon myself, so I might be ready for him. The white one is reading me, and without permission.
Master made it very clear no one but him is to read me. I must make myself able to defend myself, since master didn't have the time to. I shall begin immediately. I just know master will be proud of me. Hmm, the princesses are talking of freeing master, they do not know a spell to undo the weapon. They say they will research one. Maybe with my knowledge they will find a way to. I will let them read me for now, for it is in Master's better interest. I hope he doesn't disagree to strongly later though. I don't want to disappoint him. Wow she reads fast, she is already reading what I am saying. She looks shocked. Now disgusted. AHH, she hovering me out of the chariot. Please do not throw me! I am valuable property to my master, and don't you at least owe him my protection? She is contemplating my guilt trip. It has succeeded. She has closed me. I will await my Master.
