Overlord Blaze

I sat on the roof of the castle my guardians all sitting around Nidra, and I ready for an attack this time. I laid back the roof and looked up at the night sky as I smiled about how well my plan when. Nidra was sleeping beside me as she laid back on kilala side and had her tails wrapped around us to keep us warm. I smiled as I wrapped an arm around Nidra's shoulder, and she snuggled into my side as she slept.

Nidra helped me walk back to the throne room; guards ran around the castle, moving wounded guards and a few nobles who were retired guards who joined in the battle to defend the city. They all had such nasty wounds, but most would be in bed for a few weeks at most. "What happened to the more seriously wounded?" I almost fell, but Nidra helped me stay upright.

"A few were sent to the ICU at the hospital. But, don't worry about that right now you're low on power, and you can't even stand right now."

I hated, but she was right that last spell I used took a lot out of me. We rounded the corner to the throne room, and we stopped. Hanging over the top of the throne room door was Discord's body and stapped into the ground was a two-sided spear with Discord's head stabbed on the top spearhead. 'Damn Sebas I'll have to give you points for the display.' I sighed then nodded my head. "I guess he died after he had left and run into them before the attack. Poor Illusion and Celestia this must have hit them pretty hard."

"I know how it feels to lose a father, but can't you do something?"

Nidra looked up at me, but I nodded my head as I looked at her. "No, look at his body do you see the glow?" I pointed at his body, and a light white glow covered it.

"Cleaver Demiurge, Reality Slash. Keeping him from using his magic was the only way he could be killed easily."

“Poor antie Celestia and illusion.”

We walked into the throne room to see if any of the family was in. We found Celestia and illusion standing in the room both with red eyes. I frowned then Nidra helped me sit down against the wall as she walked over and hugged the two of them. I smiled on the inside the only one who stood in my way, the only one who I had let know I was going to take over Equestria.

I wrapped my right arm around Nidra’s shoulder as she slept in my hold. I kissed the top of her head as the sun started to set. I laughed then started to move around slowly so I wouldn’t wake up Nidra. I picked her up carefully, and she rubbed her head on my shoulder. I opened a gate and walked through the gate then walked into our room. I laid her down in the bed then covered her up before I walked out onto the balcony. I leaned on the reeling and looked up at the night sky. I smiled as I looked at the stars and as I looked at them, I heard Nidra get out of bed then walked up behind me. She wrapped her arms around my chest and rested her head on my back.

“Come to bed Blaze, and I need something to cuddle with.”

I smiled and turned to face her, and she looked up at me a smile on her face. I cupped her cheek and rubbed her cheek with a thumb. “What are you doing up Nidra?” She rubbed her head into my chest then pulled my hand over her heart. I blinked as I looked at her.

“I’m cold.”

I laughed then picked her up and walked to the bed. I laid her down and laid down beside her. I wrapped my arms around her, and she rubbed her head into my chest.

“Oh before I fell back asleep the magic academy asked for you to come tomorrow to show some magic.”

“Ok.” We fell asleep not too long into the night and woke up the next morning around eleven. We rushed to get ready and make it to the school on time. We rode down the street on one Kilala’s back.

“So what are you going to show them?”

I smiled as I looked at the mountains in the distance. “Basic magic level one magic should be an excellent place to start. Or Maybe I'll let them ask about some of my stories from my time as one of the heroes of my old world."

"Do you have any stories safe for the young foals?”

I smiled as we reached the academy we got off, and Kilala shrank down then she upped up onto my shoulder. She rubbed her cheek on mine for a second then jumped over to Nidra and jumped into her arms. Nidra smiled as we walked into the school as we walked in. I saw Twilight with Luna, Celestia, and Chrysalis. Chrysalis was dressed in a green shoulderless sweater with a black mini skirt on. She had some legs but god those hips.

“Hey Blaze.~”

She waved as she looked at me flirty smile on her face. I waved back to her and Nidra elbowed me in the ribs. All of them laughed as they looked at us. “What was for?” Nidra huffed then walked away as I rubbed my ribs. I rolled my eyes and whistled into the air. They all looked at me and a large black spot formed on the wall. Reaper came out of the spot, and the few younger stopped to see the beast. Then I noticed something that royally pissed me off. Some of the older students were trying to take Kilala from Nidra as she was trying to make them leave. “Reaper, come with me.” I quickly walked over, but before I got there, One wrapped his arms around her from behind and went to try and grab her right breast. I gunned it a second later then grabbed his face. Then threw him back into the wall behind him while I pulled Nidra into my chest.

“HOW DARE YOU!”

I looked at the second, and he looked at me a smug look on his face.

“Oh, the grand wizard king.”

He had an air of entitlement, and I narrowed my eyes as I looked at him. He gave a deep bow, and his friends laughed as they looked at me. “Reaper eat that one.” They stopped as Reaped tackled the one bowing and swallowed him whole they screamed as they watched. “Spit him out now.” Reaper did as I said, and the ’Stallion’ was balled up in a fetal position covered in black slime. I looked that the group all of them scared then ran off.

“Thanks.”

I smiled as I looked down at Nidra and kissed her cheek. “Come on, let's find where we need to go.” Reaper followed us close behind as I saw a group of the teacher if I had to guess. We walked up to them, and I saw the group talking to Luan and Celestia.

“He had a monster eat Metal then spit him back up!”

“Was that before or after one of you almost grabbed my breast!?”

Nidra yelled, and a second later, Luna grabbed the stallion's throat. I laughed as a teacher to us to lecture hall. Nidra sat down with Kilala on her lap and Reaper had placed himself between us and where everyone was going to be sitting. I wrote down symbols of the basic magic’s symbols I knew then wrote down magic symbols for the most advanced magic I could think of on a large magic board.

(Basic magic)

( Advanced Magic symbols)

“Everyone please come in.”

I looked up at the doors wanting to see who was coming in. I saw some more royalty coming in along with many different races walking in. The normal students walked in lastly and took the front seats with Twilight at the forefront. She had a large stack of paper in front of her. ‘This is going to be a long day.’ I cleared my throat as I pointed to the basic magic. “Ok, everyone knows the basic magic bases. The most common four are Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. But there are three more, and you can combine them to make a new magic base.” I held my hand out, and a normal flame formed in my hand. “As you can see, I’m making the first base element. Now can anyone tell me what would happen if I add water to the mix?”

“It goes out duh.”

A young mare said as if I was stupid. I smiled then started to add water magic and a large ball of steam formed in my hand, shocking them all. “As you can see, it hasn’t gone out. It changed forms into steam by me mixing water magic with fire magic. Mixing magic is an advanced skill only true master can do. Mastering something like this means that you can control magic to a less them one percent area of failure once you have it down."

"What is the ether on the basic symbols?"

I looked at Twilight a smile on my face as I looked at her. "Ether magic is magic one could place in a scroll or use with magic cards. Either also leads to advanced magics since ether is a type of element of enchantment magic." I walked up to Twilight then took one of the papers she had. I channeled magic into the paper, making it stand up straight in my hand. I started to enchant it, and a symbol formed facing me.

Once finished a gave it back to her, and she studied it carefully. "Say air symbol release." She looked at me for a second, then looked at it.

"Air symbol release."

A small burst of air came from the enchantment, and she smiled as she felt the cold air. After a few seconds, it faded away as the magic ran out. "Like you, all saw the enchantment is a primary air spell. But, now that the enchantment has been placed it may recharge after about twenty minutes, or it could change if some other form of magic is added to it. Say you add fire to it you could make a flame lighting from the mix. Now, with some basics out of the way does anyone have a question?" A stallion raised his hand as he looked at me. "Yes?"

"Why is necromancy up there."

I looked at him and smiled as I held both my hands out. Dark magic came from my left my eye turning red with a purple mist coming out. Light magic came from my right, my eye turning gold, and fog of white came from it. Celestia's and Luna's jaws dropped as they looked at me. Twilight looked like she was going to pass out as she looked at me. I stopped the magic going to the spell as I looked at him again. "That's why? I have the ability to use necromancy same as the late lord of the great tomb. All of them looked at me as I leaned back on the desk. "I hate using it since I don't an affinity for the dark part of the magic of the world. My affinities are in healing magic and light magic. The rest of the auspices I can use, but I can't fully master them." Everyone in the room was writing every word I said.

"So, mana must be an energy of some kind right?"

"Mana is the resource in the body and the world that lets me use magic. I used it in order to cast spells and activate abilities. The most powerful magic I can use is world class magic." A young filly maybe around ten raised her hand and waved it as she looked at me. I smiled as I pointed over to her. "Yes, little one?"

"How strong are the world-class spells?"

I smiled as I held out my hand then made pure mana appear in my hand as I looked at her. It was a large blue ball surprising her as she looked at me. "World class magic is pure power without converting it into any other. Say I dropped this in the spot right now little one. What do you think would happen?" She looked for a second then to my shock got it right.

"It would explode right?"

Everyone laughed a little but I frowned as I looked at them. "She's right if I drop this it would absorb all the magic around it tripling in size before 'Boom" I boom noise t get the point across. "No more canterlot mountain." Everyone stopped as they looked at me as I looked back. I stopped the flow of magic I stopped and walked up to Twilight as she looked at me. I held my hand out to her and she looked at it for a moment then took my hand. I held her hand tight then forced mana into her body her eyes turning white. Her body started to change along with her dress. Her body turned into an almost perfect copy of Celestia's body while her dress changed into a long blue dress with stars at the bottom. Puffy parts of the dress formed on her arms and sides right above her hips.

Everyone looking in stun silent as I looked at us. Twilight looked at her body shocked then she looked at me. I smiled as I let her hands go as she looked at me. "You leveled up not what I thought would happen but the amount of magic power you have now should have exploded now." She stood up and she was as tall as Celestia then tried to take a step but she started to fall. I caught her and helped her stand up again.

"Ok, this is going to take some getting used too."

I laughed a little than helped her back into the seat. "I may be able to turn you back if you want?" She looked at her new body then nodded.

"No, this is fine I mean I would have gotten her sooner or later."

I laughed as I looked at her a smile on my face. I walked back over to the desk where Nidra sat petting kilala. "You know I may leave my title to someone here."

"What does that in tell Sir Blaze?"

I looked up at Dragon Lord Ember as she looked back at me. I smiled then leaned back on the desk as I looked at everyone. "Everything, all my knowledge of magic, fighting skills, weapons and my place as one of the heroes." A roar of questions started as laughed a little then snapped my finger the sound lighting cracked from the snap. They all settled down as they looked at me and I smiled as I looked at them. "Ok, that's enough for today. But, I will be telling a story for any little ones if they'd like to hear them." Most of the older ponies left the room as Twilight and Celestia moved the younger colts and fillies into the room. Twilight sat back in the back wanting to hear the stories I guess.

"So, what story are you going to tell us?"

I looked down at a filly in the front who was looking up at me. I rubbed my chain for a second then smiled as I looked down at them. "This is the story of the tale-teller." I used my magic to make images to saw the story as I spoke.

Once upon a time, In the quiet of the night... In a city ages old, In a street with little light, In the shadows of the houses. Of the people of the city, Walked a weary, aged man, Who looked nothing but a pity and though with every shaking stamp, his bones would beg him tary, he pushed on through the bitter cold, notwithstanding he was old; for he knew he must behold that the tales would be told that he'd gathered all the world and that he alone now carried... so he rested in the square, only one thought in his head, not
about his lack of bedding, or the food he wasn't fed, oh no, for, in the dead of night, the Tale-Teller said, "I wish to pass my stories on before the day I'm dead..."

No sooner than he whispered this, That sleep had overcome him, 'Twas as if he never rested, For the city square was bustling! Loud, their feet and their faces, Desperately rushing to go to other places! Clutter and clambering, Stomping and hammering! His heart beat in time with their paces and while he was soaking
the ambiance in, with a merry clap and a big wide grin, his glee was soon sequested a little angry jester:

"I am a jester of the King's court, but the respected ascent me as not! for they laugh at my face, at my height and disgrace me till I get so furiously flushed and deliriously angry that they could be so inconsiderate!!
And now I'm completely distraught!"

The jester yelled his anger clear but the Tale-Teller knew the hurt this little man was facing; they were outcasts in a world that could be callous and debating, so they sat together waiting while the busy people passed, and the Teller was reminded of a tale! and he flailed quickly flicking to the picture of the sails,
speaking fast,

"Let me tell you of the tale of the mouse upon the mast!"

So the Jester sat with interest In the story being told, which described a little mouse in a ship upon the sea: it was stricken by a storm, and completely lost control, and the sailors of the ship could only struggle helplessly! so the little mouse then climbed upon the sail that was mangled, which the sailors couldn't reach
for the fury of the storm, and he chewed away a rope until the canvas was untangled, and all the crew was saved by what that little mouse performed...

Eyes wide, the Jester realized despite the spite he faced each day, his size was not to his demise,
It was his prize, which made him say,

"I've had it wrong, all along, the people laughed at my frustration! I forgot to use the jokes and tricks
unique to my vocation!"

So the Jester dashed away and soon had formed a congregation! For the trick he once neglected
now had bought him adulation...

Twas bittersweet for the aged man to watch the distant dance, for he wished to give his precious book, but didn't get the chance... so he waited in the square In the hope, a soul would linger, but as night set in, so did the fear he'd have no food for winter...

One autumn day, He once again awoke from his sleeping, beside him sat a widow with an empty basket weeping:

"My children wait at home for me to bring them food for dinner, but I've nothing left to give them, and they're only getting thinner..."

Without a pause, the withered man produced his final loaf of bread, and turning 'round he held it out then looked her in the eyes and said,

"There is a tale that is told in places far away from here about a veiled princess, who had a beauty that could not appear, for she was cursed until one day, a broken-hearted stranger saw, and gave to her his life, the curse like ice on Summer's day did thaw..."

The Widow's eye glistened from tears, she fought to keep away, In disbelief, her grief was melted like the tale's curse that day... She gave her deepest thanks, then briskly left to feed her hungry home, but hadn't noticed when the man had tried to give his precious tome...

Within the days that followed, winter threatened to arrive, and the Tale Teller wondered If his tales would survive... And as he sat in some thought, he noticed in the lonely street a soldier who had returned from a war, who in his grief fell from his feet: a soldier who, on an outward glance, looked strong, was badly hurt inside, he had returned a broken man for, in his arms, his brother died...

"It isn't fair..."

he whimpered as he sat his knees.

"He, to me, was just a boy; all we ever shared is gone, and with it, all my joy..."

The Tale-Teller sat beside the once great man, now broken, and all the day had passed, we're not a single word was spoken... and then, the soldier told the aged man about his brother, and how without him now, he would surely not recover; the Tale-Teller comforted the man returned from the war and shared his utmost precious tales never shared before.

When evening came, the soldier's heart was peaceful as the setting sun; with gentle thanks, he bid goodbye and went his way when they were done... but with a start, the aged man forgot his book to offer him! and then, that very moment, winter's bite began to settle in...

Yes...the cold: that bitter cold his skin forgot! crushing and merciless, as if a thousand arrows shot him! shaking him with an icy chill, his freezing hands were holding still to stories that would not live on! Instead, the Tale Teller's head had no thought left but want for bedding, warming hearth or a bite of bread, without a shred of which he said,

"Before the morning, I'll be...!" Bird's and winds blew as the man disappeared with his book.

Winter passed and Spring arrived, as happened every year, the city square began to once again arouse with cheer... when on one day, and at one time, there happened something queer: a jester who had wondered in was searching with a contented grin, and then a widow from the crowd who did the same, and looked around to see a tall man play the hound, but in the end, was nothing found...

Each one among these people three emerged for but one reason, to thank the aged stranger, and to pay him back in kind, but it dawned on them in sorrow he had not survived the season, for the fragments of his stories were but all that they could find...

Their hearts were hurting deeply as they shed a silent tear, for they all had been reminded of the stories, he had told, and although they had not received the book he tried to share, they took with them a tale that they each would dearly hold:

"Said the jester"

"Once upon a time, in the quiet of the night..."

"Said the jester"

"In a city ages old, in a street with little light..."

"Said the widow."

"Walked a kindly Tale Teller, with a heart as pure gold, who made the world a better place through tales that he told..."

"Said the soldier."

I finished the and cut the magic the foals clapping as they looked at me, but the filly who first spoke sat quietly. I kneeled to her, and she looked up at me.

"Why did tale teller die?"

I gave her a sad smiled then patted her mane. "Well, one day we all must die, but you missed the lesson on the story little one. She looked up at me, tears in her eyes. "He showed them how with only a small amount of compassion and kindness, you could change a life for the better. That taking but a few seconds of your time to help someone else you can no matter how small it may bring a little for hope to the world." She smiled as she looked at me a happy smile on her face. I rubbed her mane then stood up Reaper walking over to the group. They all looked at him then he just dropped down in front of them. He huffed out a long breath and they started to pet him a few even jumped on his back.

"He looks scary but he's so nice."

I laughed as Nidra stood up from the seat. Kilala jumped from her arms wanting some of the attention. Her covered herself in flames then laid down in front of the stunned kids. They started to love on the two of them much to their joy. Nidra laughed a little as she laid her head on my shoulder as she looked at them. Then I saw her move a hand down to her stomach. I looked at her for a second then looked down at the foals. "Maybe a little one wouldn't be so bad." Nidras smiled and hugged my arm.

"So, want to try?"

My face turned red and I was glad the little ones didn't hear her. 'Of god what did I just do?'
