Dormammu Fact

Dormammu was formerly a part of the Hell-Lords. The Hell-Lords are powerful demons each in control of their respective 'Hell' dimensions and are known to use the title of "Satan" to manipulate mortals. From time to time groups of them meet to discuss issues concerning all of them. Some members include Mephisto and Hela.

It been a few days since I had to see what Trixie was doing, and in that time I can sum everything that happened up to one word. Disappointment. The potion worked for a single hour before Trixie had passed out from the four spells I had placed into her mind. They were even more basic than the day before. If it weren’t for the fact that she was asleep in the cottage, she would be the one that was going out to acquire the ingredients again, not myself.

But a question does arise from this. “Why is the entire town hiding in their homes…?!” I muttered to myself in anger. It wasn't that hard to sense their souls through the walls, or to make things even more simple, physically see them doing everything they can to hide away!

“Trixie has no idea, Master, but I’m sure if we ask them-” Trixie had started, but quickly fell to silence as I waved my hoof up in anger.

“Rhetorical question, Trixie…” I muttered before my eyes drifted over to Sugarcube Corner. It was in the distance, but even with how far away it was I could see the signs of several ponies staring out of the window. That and I could sense five of the Element in there, and thus I beeline to the building.

Popping her head out from the front door, Pinkie’s eyes were wide. She quickly looked to the left, then her eyes darted right. “Bishop! Trixie! Get over here fast!” She yelled in a whispered tone. But even to a simple colt, it was easy to tell that she was scared… Scared of something.

“And what are you scared of, Miss Pie?” I asked as Trixie and myself made our way to the entrance of Sugar Cube Corner.

“J-just get in here and I’ll explain!” Pinkie cried.

Rolling my eyes, I made my way past Pinkie, with Trixie following quickly behind. The room was dark, but not dark enough to not see the four mares hiding in the dark. “Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity-” I then noticed two very small ponies standing behind them. One I knew, and the other I did not. “- Sweetie Belle, and…” I trailed off, looking at the new foal.

“Um, hi my name is Apple Bloom…” She stuttered, her eyes sparkling as she looked at me. “A-Are you… B-Bishop?”

“Ok, Bishop, you need to listen very carefully!” Pinkie Pie yelled as she bounced in front of me, then promptly taking in a deep breath.

In the time that I had been in ponyville, I had learned that ponies liked to sing. Sing very annoying songs, over and over! So the moment that Pinkie started to sing I reached out with my magic and forced her mouth shut.  “Don't sing,” I bluntly ordered with a growl.  “Please…” I quickly added.

“Oh alright… “ Pinkie mumbled when I released my grip. “But are you sure? I spent all night making it…” She then asked,  only to be turned down again by my glare. “Ol,  so,  um,  there is this evil mare named Zecora comes into town every so often,  and she lives in the Everfree forest-”

“And she uses evil magic!” Rainbow added in.

“And she’ll cast an evil spell on you, and take over your mind!” Applejack blurted out. I had to hold myself back from laughing at that statement, considering that I had done exactly what they had just proclaimed to Trixie.

“Surely you are all joking?” I asked.

“Well jokes aside, she’s an oddity, and we don’t like to take chances, Darling!” Rarity added in.

“Have y'all ever spoken to this Zecora?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Of course not, Apple Bloom! If we did we would become mindless zombies!” Rainbow nearly yelled.

“You never know when she’ll strike,” Trotting over to the window, Pinkie eyed the road while occasionally looking back to me. “You’ll never know when she’ll appear-” Pinkie trailed off before dashing over the door. “Twilight! Come here! Hurry!” She then yelled, and quickly Twilight made her way to us before Pinkie dragged her in the last few feet.

After that, I rolling my eyes at the fact that Twilight had asked the same questions as I had. Great minds do think alike, but that would imply that Twilight was close to my level of intelligence. She wasn’t, but even then we weren’t really facing off against the masterminds of the universe. And as the lesser beings started to covers with each other, I made my back to the window. If this Zecora was mischievous as they say she was, then I could use her as a pawn for my own gain. I had no worries over her so called ability to brainwash another, and even if those accusations were nothing more than just the fears of ponies I dueled with, it would not matter. I can give her those abilities, just in case I ever need a fallback plan.

I then had to stop Pinkie from singing a second time...

“Do you see anything?” Rarity asked as she joined me next to the window. “Oh no! There she is!” She then called out, and quickly all the mares dashed over to the window along side me.

“What’s she doing?” Rainbow asked, as we all watched a cloaked figure slowly trot her way to the middle of the road, and then probably start digging with a hoof.

“Is she digging a hole?” Applejack asked.

“AN EVIL HOLE!” Pinkie yelled.

“Will you all stop yelling? Trixie’s ears are starting to hurt!” Trixie requested.

“Oh, sorry…” Pinkie found.

“I’m going to go speak with her,” I announced, making all the mares gasp very loudly.

“Didn’t Trixie just ask all of you to stop being so loud?” Trixie asked again, this time rubbing her ear.

“You can’t go out there! You’ll be taken over, Bishop!” Pinkie yelled as she dashed over to the door.

“Pinkie’s right, you’d be taken over! What if she makes you attack the town?” Applejack asked.

“I don’t want to think about that…” Rainbow found.

“Aren't y'all over reacting?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Yeah, this all kind of seems overblown…” Sweetie Belle muttered.

“Trixie, stay here,” I ordered as I made my way over to Pinkie while my horn glowed.

“I’m sorry, Bishop but I can’t-” Pinkie squeaked as I walking into her, then through her. “-aaaaagh!” She screamed as I passed my way outside. It was more of a shocked scream, after all, that spell doesn't hurt those that I pass through.

“Bishop! Don’t!” Pinkie yelled, but I was already on my way over to the mare.

“Excuse me,” I called out, getting her attention. “My name is Dire Bishop, and I’d like to make your acquaintance.”

The figure stared at me for a moment, her face hidden by her hood. “I am Zecora… And I’ve never met a pony with such a dark aura…” She stuttered in shock.
