return to the tomb

Blaze pov

I sat on my throne, and the first part of my plan was finally completed. I had fooled them better than I had hoped to. I stood from my throne and spoke in Ainz Ooal Gown's voice.

"My guardians, in one month, we'll start my plan to begin subjugating the races of this world!"

"Lord."

They bowed their heads then left to start their work, and I sat back on my throne. “Everyone but please leave Demiurge.”

“Lord.”

All the other guardians stood and left the throne room. I crossed my right leg over my left and rested my right cheek on my fist. “Demiurge, I’m sure you’ll already figure this out, but my plan has played out to my design. I'd like to ask if you can see why I did it this way."

“Yes, Lord, but I never expected you to take a human's body as a vessel. Or to put yourself in the field as a spy. But, I do see why and I believe I finally understand why Supernova was brought back to life."

He stood and looked at me, his smile on his face. "Oh? Please, I'd like to hear why you think I brought him back." Demiurge nodded as he crossed his arms as looked at me.

"I believe you had more than one thing to gain by reviving him. You gain his trust right off, but it also opened the door to the royal family, which we had a great amount of trouble doing the first time. Frankly, I didn’t think there was something to gain there. But thinking of it now, it was a brilliant move in the long run. You stood to gain much more by going the long route. But I do have to ask a question."

I nodded and pushed up his glasses as he spoke.

"Why a human? Why not a race they are familiar with?"

I smiled as I sat up and looked down at him. "Stop and think for a moment, Demiurge. They know of all the other races of this world. They know what each race is capable of. A human is unknown and has unknown capabilities. Plus, humans are rather useful at times." He smiled wider as he looked at me.

"What brilliance, my lord! Oh, how I have missed the brilliance of your planning skills."

He bowed then stood back up.

"Lord, would you please elaborate a few more things for me?"

"I'd be happy too."

"Thank you, Lord, first can I ask why you picked the young princess of the night, Nedra. Why was she the one you picked out of the Alicorns? Wouldn't it have been a better option to go after Celestia or Luna?"

I smiled and laughed as I looked down at him. "Tell me, Demiurge, do you remember why we were defeated."

"Yes, Lord, we whole underestimated the magical power of the alicorns. As well as the Elements, and we didn’t gather enough information. But, Nedra wasn't a big part of that if my memory serves me right."

I sighed, then nodded my head as I looked down at him. "I see, you do not understand the aim of my decision. Demiurge, I saw what she could become later in her life. Not only that, it allowed me to kill discord and damage their country's power greatly; now, think about if I took Nedra and Celestia and placed them on our side. We take the weapon away from them; it only leaves one option to fight us with." It seemed to hit him, and he laughed as he looked at me.

"The elements and what you did to Twilight's body."

I smiled as it all seemed to come together in his head. "We can take away all but a few of their most powerful weapons in a single move." Demiurge flashed his teeth as he started to laugh as he looked at me and stood there. I smiled and stood from my throne as he stopped laughing as I walked down to him. "I think we should go and start stage two. You and Cocytus will be my guards as we will go to the castle to scare them."

"Yes, my lord."

He walked over to the door, then opened it and spoke with a maid. A few minutes later, Cocytus walked into the throne room.

"Lord, I am honored that you'd allow me to accompany you."

He bowed a little, and I laughed. "Cocytus, you'd need not bow. But, I do have a question for the two of you."

"Yes, lord?"

I smiled as I looked at them. “What do you think would be the best way to do this? Charge the gate or just appear in the throne room?”

Demiurge smiled as he fixed his glasses.

“My lord, I have a suggestion if you're willing to wait a moment.”

“Oh? Please go on.”

He smiled as he looked at me.

“Allow me, my subordinates and Cocytus to go in first. We will finally put them in their place before your arrival.”

I considered it for a moment, then nodded. “No, I believe it best if it’s just the three of us. Demiurge secured a flying amulet for Cocytus. I want to make my reemergence in this world grand. Maybe some super tier magic to really scare them.”

“Yes, Lord.”

I smiled as I crossed my hands behind my back as looked at them. “You have an hour to prepare, do not be late.”

“Yes, Lord.”

They left the throne room, and I sighed as I walked back to my throne and sat. I crossed my arms and leaned back as I looked up at the roof. ‘Um, I have Chrysalis and Brisa in my room. I knew who I wanted but knew it to be a pain taking them all at once. I sighed, then looked back up and uncrossed my arms as I walked to the door. I opened the door and stopped when I saw Shelter and Albeto. I smiled at them and nodded as I walked down the hall. I heard them behind me and didn’t care much as I walked. I clenched my right hand a few times, which seemed to catch their attention.

“Is everything alright my lord?”

I nodded as I slipped my hands into my pockets. “Yes, it has just been a long time since last I was flesh and blood. I’d forgotten what it was like to feel with flesh instead of magic.”

“Oh, how so my lord?”

I stopped and looked back at Albedo, and with a small smirk, I walked back over to her then cupped her cheek. She jumped and raised her hands as Shelter looked on in shock. “I can feel warmth, the smoothness of skin and even my eyes see better as now I can see without magic.” I lowered my hand, and she grabbed her face as; she blushed. I saw Shelter was about to blow her top as she looked at us. I reached down and patted her head, and she blushed as I smiled down at her. “No fighting about such simple things Shelter.” She nodded, blushing as I pulled my hand back. I slipped it back into my pocket and turned as I started to walk again. “Late on today Albedo came to my office. I wish to speak with you once I’ve finished with my work today.”

“Yes lord~.”

I laughed, and I could feel the lust coming off her. I walked around the corner, and I bumped into someone. I backed up and looked at Sebas. He quickly backed up and bowed as I looked at him.

“Forgive me, lord. I didn’t mean to touch you.”

I laughed and waved him off as I spoke. “Do not worry, Sebes. I was in thought and wasn’t watching where I was going.” Sebes smiled then nodded as he looked at me. I smiled when I looked back over my shoulder and saw Albedo standing there, but Shalter was gone.”

“Lord?”

“Where are the mares I brought with me?”

“In a room with a maid ready to get them anything they could ask for just as you asked.”

I nodded, then turned back to look at Albedo. I smiled as Albedo looked at me. “Albedo, come with me please.” She smiled then ran over to me, a smile on her face. I turned and started to walk again, Albedo at my side. We walked in silence and I noticed her sweating a little. I laughed as we reached my office. “Albedo some of my memories are fussy. My mine room is still in my office correct?”

“Yes lord.”

I smiled and nodded as I opened my office door. “Good, and now that I have flesh and blood again I will be needing that bed now.”

“Yes lord.”

I walked into the office, and Albedo closed the door, and I stopped. “Albedo, lock this room and my bedroom.”

“Of course Lord.”

Albedo clapped her hands, and magic covered the room. I smiled then turned to face her. “Albedo, I have a question for you.”

“Yes Lord?”

“What do you think the most important thing I can leave behind is.”

“Lord?”

“As I said my body is flesh and blood once again.” I walked over to my desk and ran a hand over it as I walked around it. “A human body will last fifty to a hundred-year at the most. Unlike before I no longer have the time I once had.”

“Lord, surely you aren’t suggesting your going to die.”

“This time, I wish not to become a lich. I’ve lived far too long, Albedo and I’m exhausted. However, I still have enough time to make sure the tomb will still have a ruler. With this body, I can now leave an heir behind.”

“Lord?”

I walked over to my desk and sat down. I sighed then leaned back into the chair. “I do wonder though. What kind of world will I leave behind for that child?” I ran my hand through my hair and smiled. “Hm, maybe that’s a good Idea.”

“Lord?”

I nodded as I looked back at Albedo. “Maybe this time we should get rid of equestria threat first.” I looked down at my desk and smiled as I looked at the paperwork. “A return to normalcy.” I sat up and grabbed the stack of papers. “Albedo an empty inkwell of a golden quill please and high highest level blank scroll we have.”

“Lord.”

She walked over to the door and clapped her hands again. The locking magic vanished before she opened the door.

I laughed and nodded as I leaned back before looking back up at the roof.
