The Dreaded One, Dormammu

Dormammu Fact

One of Dormammu’s end games is to replace the Celestials. The Celestials are Immensely powerful and of huge humanoid shape, and are some of the oldest entities in the Marvel Comics universe. Yes, they are stronger than Dormammu, but in time and if unchecked, Dormammu will be stronger than them.

Even the praise of the ponies was enough to fill my body with energy. It was not enough to replenish what I used in the battle with the Ursa Major, but enough to make my body feel less strained and tired. In reality, these ponies were somewhat too forward with their praise, not that it was a bad thing. No, these ponies just seem too easily impressed. In comparison to the battles I have waged in my life, this was nothing more than a squabble between two ants, and the ants hand no legs. Did I really just call myself an ant with no legs? This body must be weaker than I thought for such a thought to come into my mind. It’s making me… I believe confused would be a good word for this situation. And perhaps more praise would help me snap out of this confusion quicker. A few living sacrifices would work, along with unwavering devotion and loyalty. Oh, how I miss my realm.

“So Mister Bishop, what’s your favorite cake flavor? Chocolate? Strawberry? Red Velvet? Carrot? Oh wait, why not all of the above in a massive layered cake? Oh, I’m so writing that down for later!” Pinkie Pie stated as she bounced around me. I had done my best to ignore most of her banter, only chiming when I need to, and giving the occasional reaction based off of what little information that I had taken in.

“Red Velvet,” I answered before looking over to the small group of ponies that were watching me from the other side of the store. My presence here was drawing a crowd, which was good for the store as it was allowing them to sell more of their sweets. Mister and Misses Cake even thanked me for that, and as it was praise… Well, you get the idea. It’s always welcomed. Why do you think I enjoy Trixie’s presence on stage so much? As she is linked to my power in the form of mind control, when she gains praise I grow in power.

“Oki Doki, now what about something to drink? We got fruit punch, Sweet Apple Acres apple juice, orange juice, the list goes on!” Pinkie inquired.

“I request a savory wine... For myself at least. You may have a fruit flavored juice for those who do not wish to partake in an alcoholic drink.” I declared.

“Mmm… I think I can get some from Berry Punch, so that takes care of that!” Pinkie ponders out loud. “Welp! That just leaves one-”

Pinkie was cut off as the door to Sugarcube corner was blown open. Standing in the door was a very determined looking Twilight sparkle her eyes darted directly to Pinkie Pie before she dashed forward. “Pinkie!” She then yelled.

“Yes, Twilight?” Pinkie hummed.

“Princess Celestia has requested us to deal with the Dragon! I need you to get ready to travel to the mountain. We are to other get the dragon to find a new place to call it’s home, or… or…” Twilight very slowly looked into my direction, and for several long moments, she just remained frozen.

“Oh! Twilight, good knew! Bishop here woke up from his magical exhaustion! We’ll be throwing him a party other later today, or tomorrow,” Pinkie Pie explained as she hopped over to Twilight. “The whole town will be there! I hope they will anyways since I have yet to sent out the invitations!”

Twilight then broke into a low bow. “As Princess Celestia’s personal student, and on her behalf, we of Equestria thank you for your actions in protecting Ponyville. Even if it would result in personal harm,” She began before standing up. “Princess Celestia would have come her herself to tell you that, but she has a lot of work to do right now and has asked me to handle our thanks to you.”

“Oh, oh! Idea, idea! Twilight, we’re going off to handle a Dragon, right?” Pinkie beamed. Just looking at her you could tell that the gears in her head were turning, but to no surprise, she then turned to me. “Since you dealt with that Ursa Major so well, would you mind coming with us and helping us take care of a fire breathing dragon?”

“Pinkie I don’t think we have the right to ask that of him… And besides, dealing with an Ursa Major is hard enough as it is. We can’t just ask him to join us after he woke up from magical exhaustion.” Twilight clarified.

But was she wrong? Yes and no. Asking me such things was a bit insulting as they need to deal with their own problems. I am a god, nor a shofar. However, there was an opportunity to be had here. I did just deal with one of their monetary problems. Dealing with another would just lead to more praise, and I don’t need to repeat myself on how praise is good, do I?

“I shall join you, and if this Dragon won’t listen to reason then I shall step in and force it to leave!” I announced loudly to Twilight’s shock, but Pinkie’s joy.
