The Demon At The End Of Ponyville

Twilight Sparkle was waiting in her demonic infested house as she was waiting for John to get rid of all of the evil spirits inside the house, Twilight had told Spike what was about to happen and he didn't like it so he complained about how stupid it was but after an argument he stopped protesting about the priest coming over as he knew that it was Twilight's belief now.

John arrived at her place and as when Spike went to open the door he greeted him politely as he didn't want his atheism to cause him to be mean to a spiritual leader. He smiled as he observed Twilights castle. Twilight came over to greet him.

"Thanks for coming over John, I really appreciate this, I have been living here in fear, uh...do you want to sit down and I can get you something to drink first or..." Twilight suggested and John spoke.

"We can exorcise the house now, there is no time in waiting around and allowing the demon to torment you further, your spirit is is weak and it can take seconds for the demon to seduce you. It would help if you were baptised in the catholic faith." The priest said.

"I'm planning on getting one in the reformed faith sorry. I just wanted to get this evil out of my house before I went on to get a baptism, I knew it was dangerous but I did it anyway, i was never tempted but I did think about changing my beliefs a lot." Twilight said.

"Well as long as you get baptized then I guess it doesn't matter which way you believe in God although Christianity has its upsides I guess." The priest said as he started to bless the house.

Twilight watched the priest bless each room as he walked around her castle, Spike stayed out of his way as he blessed the house, Twilight wondered if this was going to work.

"What if this doesn't work and the demon stays." Twilight suggested.

"It won't stay after this, once it's confronted it usually goes although some cases it can possess a human and stays before it gets exorcised." The priest said. Twilight had so many questions she wanted to ask about religion but she was afraid she might offend him.

"I have so many questions about following God...I was thinking about getting a bible but...." Twilight started to say and the priest quickly answered her sentence.

"You should definitely get one, the bible is finest major source of knowledge about believing in God and has the story of Jesus in it it will have all of what you need to know about how you are supposed to avoid sin, the New Testament is God's word. You can know about every aspect on how to go about living a holy lifestyle." The priest said.

Twilight thought about what he had said and knew he was right, she couldn't believe that she would be getting a bible but she had to in order to understand what God wanted from her. The priest finished blessing the house and Twilight thanked him for helping her. The priest left.

Twilight went to the nearest bookstore and looked for the religion and spirituality section, she knew their were so many versions of the bible and she had heard the debate about how the King James Version was the most accurate but Twilight decided to go with a study bible that was a New International Version because she had heard lots of confusion has been done away with that new version.

She bought it and soon went home, that next night she read the entire New Testament and decided that each night she could read a scripture daily from the bible, she created a chart for herself that would help her understand each passage. Twilight also looked at some of the passages as well. She knew she was going to have to take a while to understand most of it but she knew that she would get there.

The next day Twilight decided to go out and seek out options to get baptized, she knew that this was an important decision only she could make, she was certain that this was some thing she wanted to do.

She decided that the closest person she could talk to about this was Celestia as she was a Christian herself, Twilight seeked her out and they both sat by eachother as Celestoa urged her to tell her about her problems so Twilight spilled it out.

"I'm scared Celestia, I've been studying the bible and I've been trying to prepare myself for a decision to get baptized but....I know a baptism is not enough, I have to really follow Gods word if I am to get onto the kingdom of heaven, I'm so unsure about all of it Celestia! How am I supposed to follow Jesus's word!?" Twilight asked.

Twilight buried her head in her hands as Celestia put a hand on her shoulder, Twilight looked at her with desperation as she knew that Celestia was going to give her advise, Celestia pulled out a New International Version of the bible she carried with her.

"Well you first have to understand that Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for every body who has sinned, he died on the cross so that people's sins could be forgiven...the second thing is that in order to understand everything that Jesus taught to his twelve disciples is that you have to have faith in his word, it's not just about reading the New Testament Twilight it's actually living by his word which you have to do yourself, I can't help you by just reading out random scriptures Jesus had said you have to read it and understand it. I'll give you one scripture thought that will lead you to read it. Luke 5:27-28 says "After this Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. "Follow me," Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything and followed him." That's what you have to do Twilight, you need to leave all of your sins behind and just try to live in his word. You don't have to leave everything of coarse as I'm just using this scripture as an example but you have to leave sinful stuff that you have done in your life behind and just follow Jesus." Celestia pointed out.

Twilight looked at the verse and then looked down at her hands as she contemplated what the scripture said, she got smile on her face and she looked at Celestia as she spoke.

"I will Celestia...I will. I think I want to be baptized. Can you help me with that." Twilight asked.

"Of coarse Twilight, are you sure you want to do that though. Do you want to think before you do it more or you just want to get it done." Celestia said.

"I do, I want all my friends and family to see it...it would make my parents happy for me as well." Twilight said, Celestia rubbed her back.

"Talk to the local church about it, you can do this Twilight. I'm glad i could have his talk with you." Celestia said.

"Thanks for helping me Celestia." Twilight said Celestia hugged her and walked home, Twilight smiled as she felt one hundred percent better as well. Celestia talked to the church about Twilight and they said that she could be baptized as long as she could talk to them to Celestia told Twilight and Twilight had a long discussion about her choice.

Twilight decided to get baptized by Pastor named Amy, their was debate about women being able to baptize but some of the bible teachers said that it didn't matter who baptized who, if the woman had the qualification of a pastor to baptize someone then a woman could baptize. Twilight set the date and then told Celestia.

Twilight debated with herself to make it out to be a huge event and decided to do just that as she was a princess and Celestia and Shining Armor both said that a baptism of a princess of Equestria was a pretty big deal as Celestia got baptized the same way.

Twilight invited her friends and family to the event, She told Spike that she wouldn't force him to go to it and she understood that Spike didn't believe in any of it so she didn't push him to go. Celestia invited a lot of people to Princess Twilight's baptism including the entire Royal Family as Twilight invited her friends and and her family and they all said that they would go.

Twilight's family and Celestia had a long discussion of inviting the media to the event as they didn't want to downgrade such a spiritual event with such petty media reporters, they'd didn't want to turn the baptism into a mess of a media crazed accident.

In the end Twilight's family resorted to ask Twilight about it and Twilight confirmed that she will allow all of the reporters to witness event, she also decided to let all of the citizens in Equestria to go the event, some of them declined but most ones who were Christians said they would go to the event and be respectful at the event.

They finalized the date and sent out information to every citizen in Equestria about the event and when it was to take place.

Twilight was nervous but she got assurances from her family that it would be okay. Twilight picked out a baptismal gown and tried it on. When she was about to buy the gown however Rarity pleaded with her to let her make it as she wanted to do something productive.

Twilight tried to tell her that it wasn't necessary but Rarity did it in secret anyway to surprise her. When Twilight received the dress she thanked Rarity for her generosity as she thought it was sweet Rarity would do that for her. Twilight tried it on and it fit perfectly. Twilight waited for the day to arrive. She was a bit nervous but she knew that she could do it.
