“And basically that’s what happened.” I finished. We returned home and I explained to Sunset what happened in the battle.

“I’m glad you’re okay.” Sunset said. “And so what will you do with their memories?”

“We will probably write them down somewhere just for the sake of knowledge.” Twilight replied.

“And we will put these weapons inside some vault, they are dangerous.” Applejack said looking at the remains of the rapier in her hand.

“Alright girls you do that, I have to talk to the guardians and then start counting who survived and who didn’t.” I said dismissing them from the throne room. Sunset remained with me though.

“What weights on your mind?” She asked.

“Am I doing the right thing? I mean yes the rule of Celestia cannot continue but so many died. Am I really worthy to be a king?” I asked.

“Phil… This is a war, it’s impossible to fight one without casualties.” She said softly.

“You’re right… It’s just, it’s just sad you know? Chrysalis trusted me to guide them towards a better future, and the first thing I do is a fucking battle!” I shouted punching the armrest of my throne shattering it into a million pieces.

“It’s not your fault Phil… They attacked us first.” She said putting a hand on my arm. “It’s not your fault.”

“I could have done something more. I could have… I could have infected the equestrians with the virus and killed them all without a problem.” I said Sunset said nothing. She looked away for a moment and then replied.

“And what about you? You would have died that day too, not from an injury nor from the time. But from yourself, you would have killed everything you stand for. Phil, I was equestrian but you still saved me… If you had used the virus I would have died. You are not evil, never will. I believe that you will always do the right thing, I love you.” She said caressing my cheek.
“It’s not pretty, this war. But it’s better than what you proposed.”

I stayed silent for a bit, thinking. ‘She’s right. I wouldn’t be any different from Elizabeth Greene.’
“Thank you sunny.” I said standing up. “Thank you, you’re right I will not take the easy route. You’re the best girlfriend one poor bioweapon could hope for.” I said kissing her.

“Flatterer.” She said. “Now come on, we need to assess the situation and check on the hive.”

We exited the throne room, waved the guards at the door and entered the outer city. Fortunately the invaders didn’t manage to reach the city, I scanned in the Hive mind and found Xarx. I made my way towards him, I found him looking at a coffin made out of a green substance, the entirety of the thing was more similar to a cocoon. He dropped to his knees and punched the ground hard.

I ran to his side and asked.” Xarx, what’s wrong?” He didn’t answer and so I looked at the coffin. Through the crystalline structure, I saw who was inside.

“Thorax…” I breathed out. “How…?” I asked to no one.

“He fought.” A voice said. “He fought alongside me and he died. We were surrounded and he shielded me with his body while a volley of magic bullets came towards me.” Therax said apathetically.

“Why…?” Xarx breathed out. “Why were you on the battlefield? You weren’t ready.”

“Father-”

“WHY?!” He shouted. “Why have you disobeyed me? He stood up and looked at Therax straight in the eyes.

“We wanted to be useful, we wanted to help!” She shouted.

“But you didn’t, you useless waste of love!” A voice shouted from the air, we looked up and saw a male changeling. He was tall with red hair and a muscular body. On his body, there was a multitude of scars proving that he was a veteran fighter.

“You're little escaped costed the life of our brother!” He shouted angrily.

‘Brother?’ I thought. “Who are you?” I asked him.

“I’m pharynx, your majesty.” He said landing and bowing. “I’m- I was Thorax and Therax older brother.”

“I’m sorry for your loss.” I said. “You are a soldier aren’t you?”

“Yes, I’m the best soldier among the changelings of the hive, I passed ten years on the training field and ten more on the battlefield.” He said. “When you arrived at the hive I was at the doors of death because of the curse, but you saved me and for that, I will forever be loyal to you.” He said bowing.

“I’m glad I saved you Pharinx and again I’m sorry for your loss.” I repeated. I moved my eyes away from him and locked them on Therax. “Therax. What you did was extremely reckless and stupid. You can’t deny that part of this is your fault, as such I think that you feel like shit right now.” I said all of them watched me with wide eyes at my language.
“I want you to train under Pharinx.” I stated.

“WHAT?!” Pharinx and Xarx shouted in unison.
“Your majesty that’s madness! She should be punished not this!” Xarx said.

“She already has been punished.” I pointed to the coffin. “That’s punishment enough. I want for her to become stronger, she will use this day as a lesson and her memories as a push to become better. She couldn’t win today but she will win tomorrow, after all, I have plans for her so…” I looked at Pharinx. “What do you say?”

“I don’t know what do you have in mind, but I’ll do it. Therax, your training starts tomorrow at dawn, meet me in the outskirt of the city.” He said and bowed again before taking off.

“Phil, they are waiting for you in the central square” Sunset said in the hive mind.

“I’m coming” I replied. “I have to go Xarx, take care and again I’m sorry.” I said putting a hand on his shoulder.

“It’s a terrible day for rain isn’t it?” He asked.

‘Raining?’ I thought. “It’s not-” Then I noticed the tears that streamed down from his azure eyes.

“Yes… yes, it is” He replied.

“It sure is…”

“Heya Twilight.” Trixie’s voice said. “How are you doing?” She asked.

“Fine.” I said shortly. She must have felt that something was wrong though because she replied.

“No, you are not fine. What happened? You can tell the great and powerful Trixie what's wrong.” She said with a hand on her heart.

“Am I a monster?” I asked.

“Wha-”

“Am I a monster? What am I, I mean I’m me but… Trixie, I killed them I took their memories and even if they were bad, I-”

Trixie ran at me and hugged me tightly. “You are not a monster Twi.” She said. “You are a kind mare-woman, ask yourself this.” She said locking her eyes on mine.
“Why did you killed them?” She asked.

“I-”

“The answer is simple. You did it to protect your family, your subjects, your friends. There is nothing bad about it, you killed but that doesn’t make you a bad person. Phil too killed, he too did it for you all. You are not a monster. Never say that again. Monster is as monsters does.” She said firmly.

“I-I- Thanks, Trixie.” I said hugging her tightly.”Thank you.”

Several seconds passed before her hand tapped my shoulder, I looked at her and saw that she was starting to become blue-er.

“Oops, sorry ehe.” I said letting her go.

Trixie breathed in a big gulp of air before wheezing out.”That’s alright, you are not sad anymore are you?” She asked me.h

“Nope, all better now. Thanks to you.” I said, I took her and lifted her up over my head. “Now come on we have Science to do!” And said that I sprinted down through the corridors with a screaming Trixie over my head and myself giggling like an idiot.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SUNSET POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was wandering through the streets of the city, many changelings waved at me and some even bowed. I was… Well, I was a little embarrassed by it but I knew they were doing it to show respect to me so I didn’t do anything to stop them I just bowed my head back and they were smiling just for that.

“Excuse me.” Said a little voice from my right, a little girl neared me and called me.

“Yes, little one?” I asked her crouching down to her height. She blushed like a tomato and thrust a paper in my lap before running away.

‘What?’ I looked at the paper and saw that it was a drawing, in the messy drawing there was a tall orange stickman with an arrow pointed at it that said “Queen.” At the bottom of the drawing, there was a little note that said. “I want to become like you one day, a pretty tall princess.” I reread the note and smiled softly at it, then I folded it into four and put it inside my jacket.

‘What a cute little girl’ I thought smiling. 'They are the cutest thing…’

After that heartwarming encounter, I continued to wander in the city until I arrived at the central plaza. There were several green cocoons, probably used as coffins. Many changelings were present shedding their tears over them. They noticed me and looked at me, there was a light in them, it was a desperate calling for their ruler to do something, anything to make them come back. But…

“I’m sorry.” I mouthed to them, the pain in my heart, it clenched it in an iron vise threatening me with silent and sad tears. They nodded, understanding the hard truth and returned to their mourning.

I saw a dozen of guards around a stage in the center of the square, I moved towards them and asked. “What are you doing here?”

“We are waiting for his majesty, your majesty.” He said bowing his head. “We are waiting for him to give them a final speech.” He said gesturing towards the crowd.

I opened the link to Philip. “Phil, they are waiting for you in the central square.”

“I’m coming.” He replied and so I waited for him to show up. Several minutes later e finally reached the square, he walked towards the stage and jumped on it. The wood squeaked under his weight but it managed to resist.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I looked around the square, the entirety of it was swarmed by changelings. In the center, there were reunited all the coffins, two hundred and seventy-two of them.

‘Too many’ I thought.

I enhanced my voice and started my speech for them.

“We are here reunited, to say our goodbyes to who had sacrificed their lives for us. These soldiers, these changelings. They are heroes they fought for us all and it’s thanks to them that our children are safe now. This is a sad day, to see so many go from our life is heartbreaking but, they wouldn’t want for us to despair. They didn’t sacrifice themselves for us to make us miserable with sadness no. They gave their life for a better future, today we mourn them and we respect them for their actions, we offer them our tears our words and our heart. Today we mourn, but tomorrow, we will live for them just like they wanted for us to do.” I said. "It breaks my heart too, to see them gone. I was your king for barely a week and already... Already I feel that each and every one of you are important for me. I can't see you as only citizens or subjects, but as family. And as such." I gestured towards the coffins. "We all grieve, together." I said with fresh hot tears that streamed down my face.

Suddenly from the coffins a multitude of orbs raised forth, the orbs circled around in the air before swarming around Fluttershy who was now arrived into the square. The orbs then swelled into the air and remained still for a moment before vanish away in the skies.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ FLUTTERSHY POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I watched in awe while the orbs transformed into their former appearance, the ghosts appeared in the air and waved at me with a smile. Suddenly one of them exited from the groups and neared me.

It was Thorax.

“T-Thorax?” I asked.

“Yes… I-I died in the battle.”

“But you weren’t supposed to fight in it.” I stated.

“Yeah, I disobeyed the orders, I died protecting Therax from a volley of bullets, it was my fault. I told her to go I convinced her to join the fight even if our father prohibited it. It was my fault but still, I made her feel responsible and I can’t accept it.” He looked up into my eyes. “That’s why I want to remain here, I cannot pass knowing that I made her life harder. I saw a glimpse of the future and I found around seven volunteers, you will know who they are in a matter of minutes.” He said.

“I don’t know, are you sure?” I said.

“It doesn’t matter, I swore to protect this place and my peoples with everything I got and I will.” He stated in a firm tone.

“Who are the others that you are talking about?” I asked.

“Kerat, Perth, Shix, Bareth, Titus, Alexander and Nix. They are the ones who decided to remain here with me.” He said.

“Will I meet them?” I asked now curious.

“In time, for now, wait for your father.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I gave Fluttershy a passing glance wondering who was she talking to, I could see the orb but I didn’t know who it was. But I would have to question her later.

“My subjects, my friends, my family. What we have witnessed today was truly a miracle, now that we know for sure that our beloved are safe and happy… We can bury them.” I said clapping my hands, I put some biomass under every coffin then I started to dig down. After the holes were made I took the coffins and leaned them inside the grave.

After that I made everyone stand back, I thrust my biomass inside the ground, inside of it I started to create a memorial for them.

‘It’s easier when one of those assholes was an artist ehehe.’ I thought, chuckling. When I was satisfied with the memorial, I made it rise from the ground, it resembled bronze but it was in reality made out of pure biomass. The memorial was an enormous pillar with a girl and two childrens on top of it, the pillar was rounded and completely engraved with the names of them all. At the base, there were eight changelings, all armed and armored that faced an invisible enemy while they were protecting the pillar from said enemy. These eight were standing proudly and they were facing the eight cardinal points of a compass. The whole memorial was twenty meters tall and forty meters wide.

As a final act, I put an enchantment on the pillar, whoever will touch it will hear the story of this soldiers. I learned the enchantment from one of the unicorns I consumed, it wasn’t really difficult.
Suddenly though eight orbs entered the eight statues which shined with a bright light. In that light, they twisted and morphed.

The statue that faced north became a slender woman dressed with a heavy plate armor engraved with symbolic runes, she had a longsword and the tip was thrust inside the ground while she rested her hands on it. Her head was protected by a helm but her face was visible, in her face there was a firm determination.

The statue that faced north-east was a bulky man with thick muscles and an unruly beard, in his hand, he was holding a pair of axes, he wore a simple leather armor that didn’t cover his bulky frame. His face was twisted with an untold fury directed towards his invisible enemy, he was constantly crouched in a battle ready position.

The one pointed to the east was again a man, this one though was covered completely in a long vest. On his hips, there were two long curved daggers. His face was completely covered except for the eyes which were kind and warm.

The east-south statue was now a tall woman with braided hairs her face was filled with pictures and hunt marks, she wore a simple pelt that covered her barely. She was holding a long spear with a string at the base which was attached to her wrist. She was sitting on a boulder and watched the horizon.

The south statue left me completely speechless. It was Thorax, he wore his leather armor with his two twin blades on his hips, his arms were crossed on his chest and his face was dead set on the horizon, I said nothing but when I turned to check the other statues I swear he winked at me.

Next was the south-west statue who was another man, this one wore a tunic filled with arcane symbols, on his hand he had a book adorned with engravings and jewels, he was an old man with a long beard. One of his hand was outstretched and pointed forward.

The west statue was a bulky and tall woman, her hair was unruly and untamed, she wore clothing that belonged on a farm, she had a sweater around her neck and her muscular body was easily two times the one of a normal man. The only thing she possessed was a lasso on her hip.

The final statue was very little, easily shadowed by the others, in her little hands she wielded a yo-yo that was frozen in mid-air like if she was playing with it. She wore a sleeveless dress with a bunch of bows that adorned it, her hair was long and straight going all the way down to her knees.

‘I don’t know what happened but I like the look.’ I mused in my head.

Fluttershy ran towards Thorax’s statue and asked. “Will you tell me who they are?”
Seconds passed and Fluttershy yelled. “What do you mean “in time?” “ She asked the statue.

“Fluttershy who are you talking to?” I asked sincerely confused.

She turned around snorting. “To Thorax. He said that we will know who they are when the time is right.”

“But Thorax…” I started.

“Is dead. Yes I know, I can talk with them dad. With the dead.” She said with a smile.

“Interesting, you are one surprise after another aren’t you?” I said patting her head. “Sure things are becoming more interesting around here.” I then faced the crowd and announced the name of the square.
“This square will from now on be known as “Guardians Plaza” I announced loudly. The changelings all cheered at that and many of them neared the memorial either to pay their respects or, for the young ones, to hear the tale of them.

“It’s beautiful…” Sunset breathed out.

“Yes, yes it is.”

After the fight, Rainbow and I walked around the forest and told each other our fights.

“No way!” I said shocked. “Take me there, I want to see it.”

“Alright AJ but when you’ll see it you will eat your words.” She said snickering. She took the skies and I followed her from the ground jumping around the forest, she didn’t go too fast and in a matter of minutes, we reached a completely scorched and burned part of the forest. Woodman was already repairing it but the damage was very vast.

“I don’t see anything.” I said looking around the field.

“That’s because you are too close to it.” She said smirking, she flew down and took me off the ground. She flew higher and higher then she stopped.
“Look down...” She said.

I did just that and my eyes almost fell out of my head. There was a fucking giant scorched symbol in the ground, exactly how she described it.

“...”

“AH!” She said. “I was right and you were wrong!” She shouted doing a little dance in the air wiggling me around. “In your face.” She finished,

“Whatever!” I shouted making her drop me, I landed on the ground creating a crater and waited for her to reach me.

“Sore loser.” She said landing.

“I was thinking…” I started changing the subject. “What about those symbols on our thrones?” I asked. “I never saw them before but I feel that they are I don’t know right but also not wrong.” I said.

“Yeh, I have the same feeling you know? Not cool. The symbol that is here though… This symbol is all right in my book.”

I summoned a small flame and my symbol returned. “Yeah… Me too.” I said.

“Why don’t we ask mom or dad? They should know something.” Rainbow proposed.

It was a good question. “Sure let’s do it.”

“Hey, dad!” I said in the link.

“Hey honey, how are you?” He asked.

“I wanted to ask you a question.” I said.

“Ask then.” He replied.

“What do the symbols on our thrones stand for?” I asked him.

He was silent for a second before answering. “Those are called Cutie Marks, they symbolize the fate and destiny of a pony. I created them because they should have been your marks. I now see I was wrong, I based my assumptions on you being more similar to ponies but you are much better than that. And that is demonstrated by your new Cutie Marks.” He explained.

‘What…’ “I don’t understand, why did you think they would have been perfect for us?”I asked.

“You can say that I saw a version of this world, another reality if you want. That’s why. But I now see the error, I will change the symbols on your thrones as soon as possible.” He said.

“Another reality?” I asked. “What was it like?”

“For one there was no dictatorship. Princess Celestia is a good ruler there, she doesn’t have all of the power this one possess though, far from it. That really is a peaceful one.” He concluded.
“That’s why I’m fighting. I want for this world to be peaceful notin constant war.”

“Thanks for your answer dad, I-I need to think for a bit.” I said.

“Of course, will I see you at home tonight?” He asked concerned.

“Yes, of course, I will come home.” I replied.

“Good, then bye honey. I love you” He said in his fatherly throne.

“Love you too.” I said closing the link.

“So? What did he say?” Rainbow asked.

And so I told her everything.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was an idiot.

‘Stupid dumb idiot! You gave them their cutie marks in a world where they never gained them in the first place! How stupid can you be?!’ I thought angrily.
‘At least they accepted my explanation which isn’t a lie in itself.’ I truly saw a different version of this world, the cartoon.

“Your majesty.” A guard called.

“Yes?” I asked looking at him.

“We need your help, many families lost their family hunter and now they can’t catch enough prey to sustain themselves.” He said.

I thought about the problem for a bit, yes I could create the food for them but they need a real economy. Then an idea popped into my head.

“This is what we will do, find all the hunters of the hive and tell them to contact me with the hive mind.” I ordered.

The guard nodded and remained still for a bit before speaking again. “They are ready.”

I entered the hive mind and noticed a large group of connected dots, I connected myself to them and all the hunters popped in my vision.

“Alright listen up. I will create a hunter guild, in it, you will hunt and seventy percent of the meat you'll catch will be held by the guild. Then the guild will pay you for your work and will also sell the meat to those who cannot afford to hunt.” I explained.

“Your majesty, what do you mean by selling?” One of them asked.

I created a simple coin with my symbol on one side and Sunset’s on the other. “This will be our currency, it will be called Denarius and it will be divided into Sesterzi” I created another coin, this one a little smaller and with the symbols of my daughters around a 50 depicted on it. “These will have half the value of a Denarius, the Sesterzi has three other variants.” I created three more coins, they looked the same but were each a tiny bit smaller, also the background was different depicting the memorial, the hive, and a single changeling warrior head. They were numbered with a 20, 10 and a 5.

I then started to explain to them the basics of an economy, after an hour of explanation they nodded and exited the link to spread this information to the populations.

“Dad!” The voice of Twilight called. “We found something while we were doing a little experiment, can you come here?” She asked, with a hint of worry and surprise in her voice.

I didn’t respond I immediately teleported inside the laboratory. “What’s the problem?”

“Dad! You teleported! How?” Twilight inquired.

“Thank the guys that I ate for that, it’s a bit tricky but I found out that it’s not extremely difficult.” I said. “But that’s not the point why did you call me?”

“Trixie and I were doing a bit of research on the nature of Ambrosia and my sensors picked up a peculiar signal.” She showed me a cart with several graphs on it, on one of them, there was a massive spike. "You see I calibrated them to catch even the widest kind of signals and they barely sensed this one. It's a spatial ripple, something just created a ripple in the reality and connected itself with another dimension. That spike is the anomaly, it happened two weeks before the battle.”

“Something strange happened that day?” I asked. She shook her head. “Nothing at all? Cosmic alignments, nothing?”

She took a pensive look and put a finger to her lips. “Now that I think about it there was something.”

“What?” I asked.

“A full moon.” She responded.

“The portal…” I breathed out.

“The what?” She said.

“I’ll explain later, I need to talk to someone.” I said exiting the lab.

I entered the throne room and sat on my throne than I entered my REM and drifted away in the dream realm.

I opened my eyes and I noticed that I returned to the same glass room.

“You finally came back.” The voice of Luna said greeting me.

“Yes, Luna, sorry for the lateness but shit hit the fan.” I said Luna sneered at my foul language.

“Well then, tell me what happened for… shit to hit the fan.”

I started to explain what happened in the previous days. When I finished the story she fell in a thinking mood.

“I’m sorry for your losses.” She said.

“It’s not your fault.” I said. “Anyway, I’m here to ask you something.” I leaned down to her level and said.

“What do you know of the Mirror?”

“W-what Mirror?” She said feigning ignorance and failing at it.

“You know very well what Mirror. Tell me everything you know about it.” I requested.

“I-I-I” She stuttered.

“Answer me, Luna. What. Do. You. Know?” I asked pointing my words with the narrowing of my eyes.

She hung her head in defeat and answered me.” The mirror was created by Starswirl and was used by Celestia to travel to other worlds. When I was banished she told me she found out a new world ready to be conquered. The portal opened up every thirty moons, but I used my powers to make it open up every full moon. Now that Celestia stole my magic she can open it every time she wants.” She explained.

“Interesting.” I said turning around. “Where is it?”

“If she didn’t move it then it is in the Vault.” She said.

“Tell me more about this… Vault.” I said creating a chair with my biomass and sitting on it.

“It will be a long talk.” She warned.

“I’ve got time. Now talk.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CELESTIA POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Ten thousand fallen and a third of my fleet was destroyed by him. My Omega team was destroyed my troops are in disarray and most faithful allies are starting to lose faith in me. I smashed my fist on my armrest destroying it. The guards at my right and left winced with the strong sound and the debris.

“Dammit!” I shouted with my hair and tail bursting into hot white flames around me. After ten seconds of costant hot white plasma I finally calmed myself.“Ok, ok I’m good I’m calm.” I said, I looked around and noticed that I blackened the walls of the throne room, liquified the throne and vaporized the guards around me, but I had other things more important to do. “Servant!” I called. A terrorized mare dressed as a maid entered the room, her eyes widened at the sight of the state of the room but even more when she noticed the lack of guards and the melted weapons on the ground.

“Clean this mess ASAP” I ordered and left the room.

“I still have it.” I teleported inside a specific room deep inside the mountain. There I used my magic to dispel the powerful illusion and defenses that coated it revealing a door made out of pure gold, in front of me my metal golems raised and approached me, they were forged thanks to an ancient diamond dog's technique, they resembled a full grown minotaur, shackles were on their wrists. They put themselves at my flanks and acted as personal guards. We entered the room and passed the item filled corridors, many artifacts were stored in it, from light blessed sword and shields to Darkness filled ones. I continued to walk until I entered the portal chamber.

Then I stopped myself in front of the mirror. It was a beautiful mirror with a gold inlay and a perfect surface. I channeled my powers into it and using the magic that I stole from the Beast I opened the portal against its will. I readied myself and entered the mirror.

I passed through the Canal, an ancient method of transportation created to pass through dimensions, when I exited the Canal I looked around me. In front of me, there was as usual that wretched school and I was inside that useless flesh body. It was nighttime and as such there was no one in sight. Eventually, my contact finally presented herself and I greeted her.

“Hello Dawn.” I said at the cloaked figure.

“How many time shall I tell you?” She asked revealing her face.

MY face.

“Call me Celestia, Celly.”
