(POV: Cross)
A few weeks after the arrival of the Minotaurs...

Looking outside, I would realize, it was pretty late, Luna's moon was high in the sky, and the lights of Ponyville were all but extinguished as the night's comforting embrace set in.

A sip from a mug of coffee, and I looked toward a passed out Twilight, face in her notes, a small chuckle emitted from me, to which I snapped my fingers, sending her directly into her bed, under the covers.

I looked outside again, watching the town, and sky, my wonderment was cut short by a sound from outside, a slight thud, what was it? Of course, looking out and seeing nothing at first was a given, but, with the help of my power, I saw perfectly what was out there, two bug-like creatures happened to be dragging a body, the one in front, hissed at his cohort, before they picked up the body of the Pony, to which I saw it was still breathing, a small hum escaped me.

Setting my mug of coffee onto the table, I teleported infront of them, a smile on my face, both looked at me in awe, I just slapped them in the face, knocking them unconscious, before teleporting them elsewhere, I picked up the Pony, and teleported inside.

However, once inside, I realized that what I was carrying was not a Pony, but a Minotaur, a rather short, and feminine one to be exact...

I thought on words from about two or so weeks ago, a specific ambassador speaking to me, over some nice scotch, I chuckle, my thoughts going to what he had told me, or well asked me...

I shook my head, not wanting to worry about it, I decided to leave her on the couch, then teleport to Canterlot tomorrow to ask about her from Raish, seemed easy enough.

A small stretch from me, then back to the coffee, I stay up, unable to sleep, my own thoughts plaguing me, all about my dream, at some point, thinking on it about gave me a migraine, which the coffee overall helped.

A few hours later...

The bright, early morning rays of sunshine, made me close the blinds, having been seated all through the night, with the exception of getting up to grab some coffee, sipping it rather casually, I look toward the Minotaur girl, still out cold.

Looking towards the bookshelves, I soon hear the telltale signs of Twilight, with her slowly hoofing it down the steps, Spike most likely still out cold.

Twilight sat across from me, allowing her head to slam against the table, a groan echoing from her mouth, a loud chuckle exiting my mouth, with a snap, coffee, and some haycakes were presented on a plate for her.

She took a bite of the haycakes, then a sip of coffee, before looking to me, and giving a light smile "Well you appear fully rested!" She said with some amount of toned down joy.

I chuckle at her, then shrug, allow her to believe it, seems easier than trying to tell her why I can't sleep. Sipping our coffees, she then had some form of flash on her face, as if remembering something.

"Mmmh! Oh-! Cross, I never asked this, but, what was that power you got?" She asks, a look of curiosity on her face, I felt a drop of sweat slide down my face.

I coughed, then looked over as a slight shifting sound occurred from the couch, a small groan echoed from the Minotaur, whom Twilight just noticed.

"What in Celestia's name?!?!" She yelled in surprise, I slap my face, though, the Minotaur was still knocked the fuck out.

I sigh, then sip my coffee, before looking toward Twilight "Twilight, that Minotaur I found outside passed out, I think she might have been exhausted, so I put her on your couch, hope you don't mind?" I ask with a slight smile, she just looks at me, sighs then shakes her head.

"Alright, whatever, but, I wanna know, what was that magic?" She asked with some excitement, a truly straightforward, and undeniably pushing mare she was...

I sip my coffee, thinking on her question, then, I speak "First of all, that was not magic, its called Aspect, and it involves the nature of different powers, derived from divination of entities and their burdens, what you witnessed, is one of the powers or aspects that split from my body upon entrance to your world. The Aspect of Justice, and it rains over multiple categories of justice, and can call upon the powers of those who have been tasked with it since birth to give their judgment unto others." Twilight looked over-excited by this, I shiver.

"Past Justice, I also have the Aspect of Randomness and the Aspect of Nothingness. Randomnesses best example is it is like chaos magic, except, less corrupting, and far more based on luck. Nothingness is more made of one's sense of existence, it is something many creatures dubbed 'Eldritch Horrors' practice, as well as, many different gods, though none take it as their burden, after all, who wants to be the God of Nothing?" I say, though, not really meaning the last part, because it had its uses...

She nods, writing this down "And is there only those three?" She asks, I sip my coffee, then speak my answer "No, I still have to find three more, each far more powerful than the last, and I can only hope none find them before me..."

Overall, we let silence rule the atmosphere before I stand up "Welp, gotta teleport to Canterlot with the snooze queen over there, excuse me for a bit Twilight." I say while heading over and waking up the poor sleeping Minotaur, who groaned and grumbled, I sigh, then with a snap of my fingers, she is doused with cold water, to which she shrieks and jumps up and dancing around saying 'Cold!' Over and over again, I laugh my ass off as I teleport myself and her to Canterlot, outside the castle, with her already dried and slightly poofy.

I chuckle as she gives me a death stare, a growl emanating from her "Who are you to have joy from my misfortunes peasant?!?!" She basically yells I am still laughing, but, calm down enough to speak.

"Names Cross, a noble of Equestria with the title Lord, I am an honorary citizen, and a friend of Minotaur Ambassador Raish, who might you be?" I ask with a simple raise of a brow, her eyes widen.

"My father would never befriend any of these weak pansy nobles! What makes you an exception?!?!" She all but yells, cracking my neck, I give an answer.

"Probably because I am actually strong... Past that, I saved his ass from Timberwolves." I shrug with the statement, adopting a bored look.

She looks pretty angry, then her fist flies my way, I, of course, catch said fist, and push her away from me, not needing to use the large amounts of strength that added up with my re-garnered powers.

She is able to catch herself, but, she raised her fist once more, preparing to rush me "Why you littl-!" She almost finished, only for a stronger voice to sound out.

"KYORA!!! DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND TOUCH LORD CROSS!!! HE IS OWED GREAT THANKS FROM ME AND ALL MY MINOTAURS!!! OTHERWISE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN MINCEMEAT FOR THE WOLVES, GIRL!!!" A rather loud and blatantly angry Raish yelled.

The Minotaur girl, known as Kyora, stopped mid-swing, and paled considerably, she looked to her father, a look of surprise "But... Father, he insulted me, and did not treat me with respect..." She said.

Raish rose a brow, then looked to me "Is this true Lord Cross?" He all but asked I looked him dead in the eyes, then, gave my piece.

"Nope, in fact, that was the most blatant lie I've ever seen, the truth is Raish, your daughter insulted me, then, tried to assault me, I don't blame her though." Cross said with a shrug.

Raish sighed, then shook his head, he looked to Kyora, his face showing a great facade, then he looked to me "Lord Cross, have you thought on your answer?" Raish said, his tone neutral.

I chuckled, then thrust a thumb at her "After that display?" I started, he seemed to have a flicker of disappointment, however, I finished my thought, after a small pause "I see she needs discipline, so, yes, I will take your daughter under my wing Raish."

Raish smiled, Kyora looked horrified, I just gave a chuckle "Well, then it is time for me and my guards to leave, we have been here for what is needed, good luck my daughter, I hope to see improvement, goodbye for now." He said, a small smile as he walked away, right back to the castle, I watched with slight amusement as he did.

I looked toward Kyora, she looked exasperated, I chuckle, then beckon her near "Come, let us be done here and return to Ponyville, I told Twilight I would be back to answer questions... I think?" I say, while prepping to teleport, she looks at me, gives an indignant huff before slowly making her way near me.

With a simple blink, she and I are back within the treehouse, slowly, I made my way to the kitchen, as I was planning to grab some coffee, my face smiling slightly, I pulled a small mug, and poured a cup, which I used some of my power to heat it, making the flavor pop out.

Seating myself on the couch within the main room, I watched this Minotaur, Kyora, pace back and forth muttering to herself, nonstop, and I swear, I thought she was gonna pace a line in the wood.

Holding up my hand, she stopped, her gaze flickering to me "Cool it, Twilight would not like a line on her floor from your rather aggressive pacing."

She glared at me, then settled down, collecting herself, she looks over me, then looks me in the face "How? How did you save my father and his men?" she asked.

I sipped my coffee, then set it down, before looking her in the face "I killed the Timberwolves?" I said, just trying to get that out of the way right quick.

She sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose "No, not that how, how, as in, what did you use how?" She asked, looking at me for an answer.

I stare at her for a bit, then sip my coffee again "Simple" I say, setting my coffee down "I am a god, borne of six different powers... I currently am only at a good quarter of the power, having two of the somewhat weaker powers, and the only varies on the situation power as well, though technically, I can break the rules with it, as for the other three, they sum up most of my power." I finish.

Taking a sip, Kyora stares blankly "Uh huh, and I'm the ruler of Equestria." She says, I laugh at this, then look her in the face from my mirth "Oh? And what will change your mind? Maybe something deep and dark inside yourself that you have told no one else?" I ask, with a Cheshire smile.

She stares me down, then shifts her shoulders, before smirking "Ok, what is my darkest secret?" She asks me, I smile, and stare her in the eyes, before taking a sip of my coffee.

"Your darkest secret involves your fifth bullfriend, you two got frisky, and then, you both started to-" Before I could finish, she clamped her hand over my mouth, a harsh glare donning her face, a growl emitted from her.

"And just what do you know about Ironhorn?!?! He was a good man!" She about yelled in my face, I chuckle, removing her hand, before giving my rebuttal.

"Not before you slaughtered him in his sleep like a pig, doing it to make sure he wouldn't spread rumors about the child you oh s-" Again I was cut off, this time by a punch.

"SHUT UP YOU HAIRLESS WORM, I'LL TEACH YOU TO PLAY SOMEBODY!!!!" She yelled at me, going for another punch, but, I caught it, standing up, my form towering over her, and easily emitting waves of overpowering intent, her face went from pure rage to pure fear in just the span of a few seconds.

I stared her down with pure hatred, red eyes trained on her like the eyes of an attack dog, she started to quiver where she stood, then I released her, before sitting down.

I drank my coffee, then set the cup down, before looking at her, then, relaxing back "You are my responsibility now, if you get out of line, I will work you down to the bone, until even you turn to ash, but, follow my orders, and listen to my rules, we won't have a problem, capiche?" I ask, reclining, waiting for a response.

She was silent for a minute or two before finally, she spoke "I will listen... Lord Cross." I rolled my eyes at this, not really taken to titles, finishing my coffee, I look to her, then stretch, before speaking "For today, you can relax, come tomorrow, however, I am going to train you, harshly, understood?"

She nodded, to which I gave a nod, then magicked away anything on the table near the window, before spreading a map onto it.

"For now, we start our quest in finding my last three pieces..." I said scanning over said map, she looks at me for awhile, then comes over, staring at it as well, I had marked three possible points of interest on the map.

"Cloudsdale, Manehatten, and The Crystal Empire? You think your pieces are in these areas?" She asked, to which I nodded, then cracked my neck, to relieve pressure.

She was silent for all but a couple minutes, before asking probably the best question for now "What are the other three powers?" Of course, I stared at her a few seconds, then, I spoke "Three of probably the most terrifying forces, one I will not name, but, I will tell you the other two for now." She nodded at this bit.

Chugging another coffee, I give her an answer "First of these two, is Darkness, the ability is one of the more powerful in my arsenal, though, the next to say, is Death, and that self-explanatory..." She stared at me, then spoke: "What could be worse than Death?" I stare at her a second, then shake my head.

"You don't want to know..." I say, and after a few hours of plotting, talking, then some talks with Twilight, as well as, some good old fashion eating, we prepare for sleep, seeing as tomorrow starts a new day.

As well as some good old fashioned ass whooping of a ninth degree! Its sure to be a blast!
