Grimoire of Equestria

I stood frozen in my spot, my smirk gone. I could feel Pinkie get confused, and then worried. But I was far too occupied with the current issue.

""Excuse me, I don't think I heard you right, can you say that one again?" I asked Terumi inside my head.

"You heard me, Our body is currently breaking down. This isn't like earlier, I mean literally breaking down." Terumi said, sounding quite distressed.

"What?" I asked simply.

"As you know, the actual Hazama's body was literally made to hold my power, and in conjuncture, his own power. Your body was made in exactly the same manner, able to hold both of our powers equally as good. Your only problem would have been an overtaxing of your power leaving you open for my possession." He stated casually, my eyebrow twitching at the revelation that that was what he was planning. "However, we have an extra variable in the math now.." He trailed off, as my eyes widened.

"Nightmare.." I muttered.

"She is currently asleep, and has been for a while. But while she sleeps she continues to restore her own powers. Just adding her alone was a bit of a hassle a thousand years ago, but it wasn't an issue since she didn't have any of her power due to the banishment. Now our body meant for two, is trying to force in a third. It cant take the abuse, and has started to break down."

"...How long?" I asked after a bit of silence. Terumi hesitated a bit.

"If we tell Nightmare, and she stops regaining her lost power? A year at most." He seemed to know what my answer would be. "If we don't tell her, and let her get enough power to 'Maybe' let her split off after we disappear? A month, maybe less depending how strong she gets." Terumi sounded a lot more subdued when talking about Nightmare, I guess he really did fall for her.. I ground my teeth together and kicked a rock at my feet.

"Damn.." I muttered aloud. I paused, when I realized that Pinkie was staring into my soul through my eyes. A soft chuckle left my mouth, as I moved her back to the ground.

"Hazie? What wrong?" She asked, her hair seemed to droop a bit, unless that was my imagination. I smiled, thinking of what she said when she met me.

"Nothing Pinks, I just realized that I haven't had a party in my one thousand years here." I say with a smirk. My eye opening up in slight amusement at her reaction. She gasped, and held her hooves up to her cheeks with a look of horror on her face. Her hair immediately poofed up again, and she immediately zipped away in a puff of smoke.

"I know that you wont tell anybody, including Luna or Nightmare. And I wanna thank you for letting her live free of worry. When the breakdown starts screwing with the control the hat gives, I wont do anything to hurt anybody. I swear on my own power as an almost god." He semi-boasted about his power.

"Heh, no problem. Lets get going." I said as I walked into the town.

----Golden Oak Library: Twilights Home----

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Ugh, its a Library! Come in!" I heard Twilights voice call out. "Seriously, why cant they remember that?" I heard her mutter. Opening the door to the Library, I walked in, and waved a Twilight. She was behind a stack of books when she noticed me and jumped, causing all her books to fall on the ground. "Hazama!" She dusted herself off with a sweep of magic, at the same time grabbing all the books and putting them back onto a table. I quirked an eyebrow at the fact that they were in alphabetical order.

"Hey Twilight, I was wondering if you could show me around town. I'm on a 'mission' from both Princesses, and I have to stay here for a bit." I said, Not quite lying, but not quite telling the truth either.

"Oh! Sure! Just give me a second. Spike! Can you put these books on the fifteenth shelf, in sequence number twenty-two?" She called to Spike. Twenty-two? That's a lot of was to put books on a shelf..

"No problem Twi! I'll be right there!" Spike called from the other room. A loud bang, and a string of pony-like- curses later, and he came bustling into the room with a girly looking apron on. He stopped dead in his tracks as he looked at me, he seemed scared. "W-what's that?!" He sputtered out.

"Oh, Spike this is Hazama, the creature I was talking about the other night!" She said with excitement.

"Oh.." He sighed, and walked right up to me holding out a hand for a handshake. "Nice to meet you!" He said cheerily. I forced his hand closed, and gave him a fist bump. His eyes widened, but he smiled soon after.

"Likewise, I've never seen a Dragon before. Let me say, you look cool." I hide my smirk when he suddenly went from smiling to beaming like a star.

"Thanks man! You look cool yourself!" I looked at my tattered cloths, and then back to him and smirked again.

"Thanks anyways little dude." I said patting his head as he turned around to do his job. Twilight nudged me out the door, and started walking into town.

"So where do you want to go first? I assume you want to visit Rarity to get a new set of clothes?" She asked pointing a hoof to my pants, which had large gashes in them. Now that she mentions it, I HAVE been wearing the same clothes from a thousand years ago. The same clothes I went into a war with, and look a blast and a mountainside to the face with..

"Lead away Ms. Sparkle, lead away." I said while motioning ahead with a bow. She giggled and trotted forward, leading me to wherever Rarity might live.

"I'm just warning you now, she's a bit eccentric." Oh you remembered. In all honesty at first glance I would have labeled her a Noble pony with the way she carries herself. But as the Element of Generosity, she must be a very kind person.

"I can handle it" I say to her.

----At Carousel Boutique: Rarity's Home----

'I cant deal with this!' I thought to myself, as I was officially wrapped in a bunch of fabrics filled with needles. Each new layer adding to the fact that I was immobile. My eyebrow was twitching as a measuring tape had been flying in front of my face. However, my eyes widened, and I quickly tore a hand through the material and threw it to my head. Slapping my hat back down.

"Anything but the hat Ms. Rarity" I chided her lightly. Rarity's face lit up in a small blush as she nudged some papers away from her. Untangling me from her web of clothing materials.

"Ah, sorry dear. But I have all your measurements and all available colors to your look. I'll make the best outfit for you!" She said with pride.

"Hmm.. About that, could you just make me a new set of this? You can change it a bit, but this look is kind of my thing. I hope you understand." I said kneeling down a bit to get to her eye level. She seemed to deflate a bit, but she still seemed a bit happy.

"Of course darling! I completely understand, and that look does look dashing on you." She said

"Thank you Rarity, it means a lot to me." I said, hugging her gently. Her eyes widened, and a small blush dusted her cheeks.

"Not a problem." She said after clearing her throat, "Now an artist must work in peace, Out! Out out out!" She said while pushing both me and Twilight out with a smile.

"That went well!" I sighed. I heard Twilight giggle next to me.

"Up next is Pinkie Pie-" I interrupted her.

"I think we may have to take a rain check on that one." She looked at me in confusion.

"Why?" She asked, her ears laying flat against her head. I chuckle softly at the sight.

"Well, she was the first to meet me in Ponyville." Not exactly a lie. "And I might have told her that I haven't had a party at all yet. So she zoomed off, for what I'm assuming, to make me a party." Her face lit up with a smile.

"Oh, well we can try Applejack's then!" She said while trotting away. I followed right behind her. I frowned at the lack of townsponies I've seen.

----Sweet Apple Acers: Applejack's Home----

"Consarnit Dash! Stop nappin' in my Apple tree's!" Applejacks voice was heard from a little bit ahead. We arrived to see Applejack buck the tree and a now awake Rainbow Dash to come falling down. It was kind of funny, I almost laughed.

"Hey girls!" Twilight called to the two. They both looked up, and saw the two of us. The first to us was, of course, Rainbow.

"Ooh Twilight, showing your new Coltfriend around?" Rainbow said with a smirk. It was a smirk telling me to prank.. I grabbed Twilight by the shoulder, and hugged her close to myself.

"She sure is! Just got out of Rarity's for our first date wardrobe." I say with my own smirk aimed at Rainbow. Her face had switched to shock when I first said it. But noticing the smirk, she almost laughed then and there. Surprisingly she kept her cool. I looked at Twilight to see her blushing up a storm, while trying to find a word of two to say.

"Wha- But- We- you!- DATE?!" She flushed a full body red as she slumped in my grip. I gently laid her down, while chuckling. Behind me I heard both Applejack and Rainbow laughing up a storm. When they both finished, they wiped a few tears from their eyes.

"Gosh, now ain't that the funniest thing I've seen in a while." Applejack said with a chuckle.

"Best set-up ever! I cant believe you went with it!" Rainbow said, sticking out a hoof for a bump. Instead I bopped her nose with a smile, as I jumped away.

"I thought you wanted to race Skittles?" I said playfully. Instantly her face went red, whether it was anger or embarrassment, I'll never know. In the background I head Applejack rolling on the ground laughing hysterically.

"S-Skittles?!" Rainbow raged, as she rushed towards me. A quick Ouroboros and I was behind her as she flew by. She did a sharp U-turn, sharper than I didn't think she could. The result was that she almost touched me. She would have, if I hadn't slid underneath her. As she flew over me, I poked her sides. Instantly she withdrew her wings and went rolling onto her sides laughing. Her eyes snapped back open as she realized that she just got tickled. She just got tickled in front of her wrestling rival! She turned to look at Applejack only to have me launch at her and pin her to the ground. The position would have been sexual, if I wasn't digging my fingers into her sides making her screech in laughter. I heard a jointed giggle behind us, so I jumped off of Rainbow, letting her fit die off. I looked to see Twilight back to normal, giggling with Applejack.

"Ah, so everybody feel good now?" I said with a smile.

"Ah'll say, I never knew RD was ticklish! And that name! Skittles?!" She barked out a quick laugh. "Priceless!"

"Hey!" Rainbow called from the air, still flushed from all her laughing. "When are we going to actually race?" She questioned, sounding slightly disappointed.

"Oh, Sorry, how about tomorrow evening? I've heard of your sleeping habits from Twilight." I held out a fist for her to bump. In a quick flurry of feathers and motion, Rainbow flipped through the air, bopped me on the nose and landed next to Applejack.

"Deal." She said with a smug look on her face. As we bade goodbye, Twilight still looked a little flustered. She grabbed my attention as we walked.

"Your impossible you know that? That joke you pulled on me was very poor." She said with a smile, as her long tail swiped across my face. She continued to walk in front of me. We didn't notice the looks on Rainbow's and Applejacks faces. Their mouths were agape at what they just saw.

----Fluttershy's Cottage----

We arrived at Fluttershy's home fairly quickly. Mostly due to Twilights quick pace. She seemed almost as flustered as before, I didn't understand why though. I had been trying to get her to talk but she refused. We walked up to Fluttershy's door, and Twilight motioned for me to continue. Shrugging I knocked on the door. I heard a very faint response.

"Who is it?" Came Fluttershy's light voice.

"It's me, Hazama. I've come with Twilight. I just wanted to talk to you really quick." I said into the door. The door opened in an instant, and in the doorway stood a very excited Fluttershy.

"Its good to see you." Her soft voice was louder than before. She reared up on two legs and gave me a small hug. She sat back down on the ground and looked up at me with a small smile. "What can I help you with?" She asked.

"I just wanted to tell you, that I'm glad we're friends Fluttershy. By your reactions I can safely say that your not afraid of me and I'm sorry if I didn't give of a friendly vibe last time we met." Fluttershy quickly shook her head.

"No, no! I was the one who didn't give off a friendly vibe. But I am glad you consider me a friend, you can drop by anytime you want." She said. She seemed to realize how forward she has been, and retreated into her hair. "..If you don't mind that is." I chuckled at her actions, and gave her another small hug before departing with Twilight. As we left, I noticed we weren't heading to her home, but rather a shop of some kind. The sign said :Sugarcube Corner.

"Why are we here Twilight?" I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach but I wanted to hear what she said. She looked at me with a strange look and motioned me to go in. Shrugging I pushed open the doors and walked into the dark room. Instantly the lights came on and at least fifty ponies all screamed.

"SURPRISE!!"

Had I not been expecting something like this, I would have probably jumped out of my skin! I noticed that the party immediately started, as a few ponies grabbed drinks while others came over to talk to me. They didn't seem angry, or upset in any way, nor could I sense any bad emotions in the room, a few confused me, but it was fine. Along the way I seemed to lose Twilight, she disappeared after the party started. I'd have to ask her what was wrong later.

And suddenly: Pinkie

"Hey Pinks, how are you?" I asked with a smile.

"I'm good! Do ya like the party? Do ya? Do ya? do ya?" She asked in quick succession. I nodded as I ate a piece of the Mint flavored cake she had made.

"This cake, and this party, is amazing Pinks!" I complimented her. She seemed to stop bouncing in place, and fidget a bit.

"That's good, I made extra special care to make this party extra special!" She calmed down even more, and started rubbing her forelegs together. "Um, can I give you a present?" She asked softly. I was kind of scared. I had never seen Pinkie this calm before. I was expecting the roof to fall on me at this point. I nodded my head yes, And faster than I could blink, Pinkie had jumped up and kissed my cheek. "Welcome to Equestria!" She said giggling as she ran back into the party. I sighed as I went to get more to drink. I wound up talking to a mare called Ditzy Doo for a bit, and found my interest peeked by her eyes and love for muffins. I told her to put a coin on her nose in the morning when he woke up, and focus on it morning for about 15 minutes. I told her to do the same thing at night before bed, and to come find me in a week. She looked confused, but promised to do it regardless.

That night when I found myself in the Everfree.. What? Its a nice place if you don't mind the dangerous animals.. Anyway, I found a nice open field and activated the crystal thing that Celestia had given me. I used the Black side, assuming it was to call Luna. Imagine my surprise when the damned thing actually worked. It seems as though I can use some magical items using my own power.
Luna's face appeared in the small window it created, and I could immediately tell something was wrong.

"Hey Luna, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

"Sweetie.." Ooh, I did NOT like the way she said that. "Can you explain to me why the Elements of Magic and Laughter are both having dreams of you?" She asked sweetly. I froze.

I think my heart stopped.. I could hear Terumi laughing his ass of in my head.

"This is NOT funny!" I almost snarled at him.

"Fuck you, this is hilarious!" He laughed even more.

Its a good thing I don't need sleep, because its going to be a looong night..
