An Amulets Fate

So, last time Cursed Fate was transported into the Amulet, lets see why shall we.

Cursed Fate begins to open his eyes as he notices that he was no longer in Shadows hut but instead inside what seemed to be a void surrounded by red magic with no beginning or end. He attempts to stand up when he realises that there was no ground as he was just floating in mid-air. He had no idea on what to do before a disembodied voice called out to him,

"So, are you by any chance Cursed Fate?" the voice was sharp and stern, as if it was from some part of the military. At first Cursed was confused on who this was before thinking that this could be only one pony,

"Yes I am and are you by any chance Emerald Fate?" The red void was silent for a short while before the voice called back,

"Your are correct in your assumption, I am what remains of Emerald Fate." The choice of words given by Emerald begins to spark multiple questions within Cursed mind, the most important being what does he mean by remains? Before he could ask him the question, Emerald spoke back, "when I was put into this place I had my body and magic, but over time it began to deteriorate and, with no other option, I started to try to use the magic around me to keep myself alive. It had worked for awhile but due to the amount of magic I was using my body could not contain it all so it started to become the magic itself. When I noticed this I realised that I may not go on forever but this was untrue, instead I had become the magic itself and so I now control the magic with this place, or well some of the magic here, as there seems to be places that are inaccessible to me."

Cursed looks around, seeing the magic slowly form a pony shape in front of him as he began to question it, "So you can read my thoughts and why am I here?"

"Yes, I hear your thoughts and I brought you here to tell you something about the Amulet and it's magic" Cursed tries to get closer to the magic made pony as it began to tell him of the reason for him being there.

Meanwhile, in Shadow Pros' home, both Shadow and Bean were debating on what they should do with the Amulet which had been placed onto the table,

"I really think you should put it on, maybe you might be able to get Cursed and bring him back (plus it would rid me of you)" Bean looks towards Shadow, giving her a stern look replying back,

"Maybe you should, who says tat it needs to be a magic user to wear it?"

"No, I need to keep guard here and make sure that no-pony enters this place or else we would be in seri..." Before she could finish her sentence the Amulet began to glow once again as the magic bubble began to form out of its gem and lands onto the table with the Amulet entering the bubble. As it vanishes, the two see Cursed Fate on top of the table wearing the amulet. he looked like his normal self but something was different. Upon closer inspection, Shadow notices that his eyes have become a dark red with a red aura emitting from them. His horn was still purple but the tip had seemed to fade to a dark red aswell and lastly he seemed to have developed red bat wings. These wings were transparent however, as if they were only there due to magic. Both Bean and Shadow were sitting down in shock before Cursed begins to speak,

"Now, I can explain why I look like this." The two ponies snapped out of their shock and decide to move closer to shadow as he jumps of the table and grabs a seat to start to explain, "So, while I was in this Amulet I had found, or he found me, Emerald and he explained that while he was stuck in that place he had tried to use the magic to keep himself alive. During this he had discovered that Sombra had put too much Alicorn magic into the Amulet and so he had put up walls to stop anypony from using too much of it. Of course, when Emerald broke down one of these walls his discovered that this trapped magic would give the wearer the ability to fly, with some limitations due to it still not being the full extent of the magic available."

"So lets get this straight," Bean leans in closer as to inspect Curseds' new see-though bat wings, "wearing that Amulet not only gives your magic an enhancement boost but it also gives you the ability to fly!? I want it!" He goes in to grab the Amulet off Cursed before being surrounded by a red magic aura as the pony gets out of his seat and removes the Amulet, which changes the aura around Bean to a light purple and the changes to Cursed reverting back to normal,

"Look, if you were to wear this it wouldn't work. It turns out that Emerald has full awareness of his surroundings and can only use the magic inside properly to effect the user and so he will only grant his bloodline its true power. If not the magic inside becomes wild and instead corrupts the user, like it says in the books about this thing." Cursed trots towards Bean, placing him on the ground as he uses his magic to lift the Amulet in front of him, "So if you want to no control over your own actions go right ahead and wear it."

Bean backs away from the Amulet and towards Shadow, who moves forward towards Cursed as she begins to ask, "So, what exactly are your gonna do with this new power you have, are you going to become a hero like mane six?" Cursed looks at her with a slight grin forming on his face,

"Why yes, that was the plan I had in mind, what do you think Emerald?" Cursed looks towards the Amulet as Emerald communicates to him within his mind that sounds like a good idea, helping others, why not , "Emerald's in, you two?" The two give Cursed a confused and concerned gaze before nodding their heads,

"It does sound like a fun, we could create some costumes and give ourselves some nicknames and..."

"We're not gonna do that Bean, plus you don't know how bad Cursed is at trying to keep a secret identity, he was Gandolfs' secret Santa last year and he reviled it to Senesh who, after getting drunk, split the beans and ruined the event."

"I thought you said you wouldn't tell anypony that!" Cursed turns towards Shadow, staring her down as she replies back with a low sorry, "But she's right, we're not going to do that, there really is no need to be fair. The mane six are heroes of the whole of Equestria and they don't have secret identities."

Cursed begins to walk towards the exit as he turns back to the other two, "So shall we look for something to do then?"

"How about we go back to the party, we need to explain to Bloodmoon what happened to his cake and return the table."

"Don't worry about that," upon saying this Bean uses is magic to transport the three and the table to Sugar cube corner were they discover that the party had already ended and Pinkie was there cleaning up the mess,

"Oh hi there, I see you brought back our table, that's great and do you have the cake with you because it took me all week to make him that cake?" Pinkie looks at the three as Shadow steps forward,

"Sorry about the cake Pinkie Pie but my creat... I mean friend here had eaten the whole thing without a second thought." Pinkie looks towards the blue alicorn before turning back towards Shadow,

"I didn't know Rainbow Dash had a alicorn twin and... does he have my tail? Well it doesn't matter and neither did the cake because for some strange reason Bloodmoon doesn't like cake, have you ever heard of somepony not liking cake it's crazy. Anyway I hope you liked it sir"

Cursed moves towards Pinkie as he says, "With how quickly he ate it I assume he did?"

Cursed turns towards Bean who was licking his muzzle while rubbing his chest, "Yeah it was really nice, and I got it all to myself so that was a bonus!"

"Well anyway, we're sorry for any problems we had caused while in our absence, now I have one simple question, is there any problems, like superhero levels of problems, that we could help you with?" Cursed gives Pinkie an unnerving smile as she replies back,

"Nope but why don't you go ask Twilight, maybe she has something for you?"

"Thank you Pinkie," Cursed signals the two ponies to get closer to him so he could teleport them to Twilights castle,

"Wait, I should tell you that she's not at he home but instead at..." Before she could finish the three vanished out of sight as Pinkie returns to sweeping away the party mess, "Oh well, better get back to cleaning up."

The three ponies teleport outside of Twilights castle as they knock on her door, "Hello, anypony home?" The three were then greeted by Starlight Glimmer who looked as if she just go out of bed,

"Look if your here to speak to Twilight she's off on friendship map business (and I was having a nice sleep in), why are you looking for her anyway?" She pushes the door fully as she shields her eyes from the sunlight before looking towards the three,

"We where wondering if their was any problems, like superhero types, that we could help solve?" Cursed gives another of his smiles to Starlight as she looks at him with concern before then noticing the Amulet he had floating next to him,

"What's that you got there?" she points towards the Amulet as the three ponies Suddenly exchanged looks of worry between eachother before all replying with, "Nothing," as the three disappear again. Starlight gives just a simple shrug before closing the door to return to her slumber.

After the three return to Curseds home to pick up his bag to put the Amulet in the three decide to explore the ever-free forest instead,

"Maybe instead of just jumping into helping others we should test out your new powers on a timber-wolf or two," upon Shadow saying this her request was granted when the group was attacked by four timber-wolfs who had surrounded them. They had slowly started to close in on them when Cursed grabs the Amulet and puts it around his neck. Once this was done the red bubble formed around him but instead of sending him to the Amulet it instead transformed him into what he was before when he left the Amulet. Both Bean and Shadow use their wings to lift themselves of the ground and above the wolves but when Cursed attempts to follow he instead falls flat on his face,

"Ow that hurt, maybe I shouldn't fly yet." He notices the four had lost focus on his two friends and instead drew their attention to him, "Ok you four, you think you can take ME on, you are grossly mistaken!" upon saying this one of the four wolves leaps at him but instead hit a barrier that was formed around Cursed and was then greeted to what could be described as a magic missile as it exploded the wolf upon contact. The other three look towards the sticks and timber that was their companion as they turn back towards Cursed, each lunching an attack at him. The first attacker attempted to strike at Curseds back left leg but was meet with the same fate as his buddy, the second attacker attempted to strike at curseds face but instead he became surrounded by a magical aura before being then flung across the forest into a tree as he exploded upon contact. After witnessing his friends explode into twigs and logs, the fourth attacker decides to turn round and escape but was instead lifted off the ground and flung upwards towards Shadow and Bean who both used their hide legs to buck the flying timber wolf and shatter him.

"Well that was fun, we should do that again!"

"I think we should rest Bean, it's almost night and today has been crazy so we should get home." Shadow and Bean both land before Cursed who removed his Amulet, retuning to his normal form, and placing it into his bag.

"She's right Bean, I'm going to head back to my house now, you two have a good night."

"Thanks Cursed, you too" Cursed uses his magic to teleport himself to his home as he places his bag at his door and removes the Amulet from it as he made his way towards his bedroom upstairs. Upon entering the room he removes a heavily locked box, unlocks it, and places the amulet along side documents and papers with his family history in, "Night Emerald," Night Cursed. Cursed locks the box and places it under his bed as he puts himself into the covers and closes his eyes to go to sleep

Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location, a dark figure seems to be watching Cursed Fates ever move though a blue magically formed ball as the figure spoke, "So the Amulet has returned to its blood-line, well this has become more difficult to obtain it but no matter, when I have it I will finally rule Equestria, and no-one will be able to stop me, muhahahahaHAHAHAHA!" The figure looks around his surroundings before mumbling to himself, "God I'm lonely."
