I had made a mistake, allowing Twilight to run her experiments on me meant that I had to subject myself to everything she thought about from magic levels to strength, blood tests, anything she could think about. I was on the verge of running away but my only solace of peace was the nightly visits from the best princess of the night.

Even with Twilight’s horn being incubated she still found her way around the experiment by using her mouth to hold the viles and even Spike helped. The tests though long and sometimes painful came to an end finally. I was waiting in the living room for the initial result; I was slowly drifting to sleep when three teen fillies burst through the doors. I recognized Sweetie Bell who immediately wrapped herself in one of my tails; the other two stopped at the door and stared.

“Sweetie Bell,” I greeted before turning my attention to the other two fillies “it’s impolite to stare.”

“Howdy,” the butter yellow filly greeted, she smiled warmly and cautiously stepped forward “I’m AppleBloom.”

“Lemme guess, daughter of AppleJack,” I said putting the accent to the only other southern accent pony I know

“Ew, no, I’m her sister,” AppleBloom gagged

The other filly couldn’t contain her laughter and fell over laughing she started to couch due to over laughing. Calming herself down, she looked up at me with watery eyes and a wide smile.

“I’m Scootaloo,” she greeted “and you must be the awesome new monster we heard so much about.”

“Monster,” I asked “I am not a monster, what is a monster?’

“You don’t know what a monster is?” asked Sootaloo with wide surprised eyes, I shook my head, the burnt orange Pegasus stepped forward her shaking her wings she opened them dramatically “monsters are the creatures that hunt us in the night they have sharp fangs, kill ponies and are really scary.”

I rose an eyebrow “So, you believe that all monsters have sharp teeth and are scary?” I asked the filly nodded, standing at my full height I lifted the wrapped sweetie bell over my head and looked down at Scootaloo, I knew my glare was terrifying as she shivered

“W-what are you going to do to me?” she asked

A smile crept on my face, part of my apparent magic ability was my ability to control illusions, I flicked a tail and casted an illusion over the room. The three fillies found themselves in an ally in a city, I placed Sweetie Bell down and watched as they started to explore. They watched as a mare dressed in expensive clothes walked through the ally and was immediately accosted by a band of stallions. The fillies screamed, their teary eyes pleading with me to save the mare.

I only stood there and watched, I didn’t show them the more gory parts but I got my point across, the three fillies knelt where they were as I dissipated the illusion. I would have to tell Luna to check on them while they sleep tonight.

“Do you understand now,” I said “monsters aren’t only those with sharp fangs or big like me, they can be anything and or anypony, it’s just a line you cross.”

“But,” began Sweetie “how will we know where the line is?”

With that I smiled “That’s easy, think it through, who would it affect, how it would affect you and most importantly would you feel good about yourself.”

The three fillies looked up at me

“That easy huh,” AppleBloom sniffed

“That easy,” I agreed

At that moment Twilight and Spike walked into the room, seeing the three fillies sitting in front me like good students they both looked to me with unasked questions.

“I’m teaching them life lessons,” I explained, winking at the girls “and they are the perfect students and deserve anything you have in the fridge.”

With that the three teens stood immediately and rushed passed me, somehow they managed to grab hold of Spike as they ran making him drop his clipboard and drag him into the kitchen.

“Don’t touch my cinder,” Twilight called after them as she turned back to me

“So, is Spike in a relationship with all of them?” I asked as Twilight sat in front me

“OH, yeah,” Twilight said nonchalantly “they’ll be forming a herd when they finish school.”

My mouth dropped open “And that’s normal?” I asked confused, Twilight nodded and looked up at me upon seeing my face she raised an eye brow in confusion

“What?” she asked

“Nothing, nothing,” I whispered as thoughts of having a herd with the two princesses, I smiled giddily when Twilight tapped my paw “what, what did you say?”

“I asked if you’re ready for the results.” Twilight asked, she didn’t wait for my response but flipped the clipboard and started to read out loud “your magic isn’t like pony magic so I can’t measure it but, it’s powerful since you can do advance pony magic like illusions as easy, your strength is stronger than a earth pony’s”

I raised a paw stopping her “Are you measuring me against ponies?” I asked

“Uh, yeah, especially Alicorn since us Alicorns are the strongest species of pony,” she explained “so your blood, it’s really strange I would like to run more tests, you have such strange DNA.”

“Obviously,” I said snidely “I’m a creature from another world.”

Twilight scoffed and placed the clipboard down and picked up a letter that was apparently there. She opened it with her teeth and unrolled it.

“This letter came in for you from Princess Celestia,” Twilight started “she’s saying that your home will be finished in a week but it’s capable of being moved in now, she also said that your presence is needed in Canterlot to choose your furniture.”

With that she looked up at me and pushed the letter forward for me to read myself, after skimming it through I stood up.

“So, guess my time here is finished,” I said

“Vreizo, you’re moving into the everfree forest,” Twilight said “you’ll be our neighbour right there to visit whenever we want.”

I thought for a moment and realized that I’ll have a host of ponies coming in and out my castle at a constant rate, might as well have the doors open.

“Can we visit the castle though,” I asked “I never saw it before.”

Twilight nodded “Of course,”

As if they heard Spike and the three fillies ran out the kitchen their mouths stained with ice cream and biscuits.

“Take us with you,” Spike said practically pleading

“What can’t handle all some fluffy love?” I asked with a knowing smile

“If you know what I go through you won’t be smiling,” Spike said flatly

“I feel your pain,” I said as he bumped my paw

We left the castle and made our way to the trail that led to the Everfree, Twilight led the way answering any questions the three fillies asked, and believe me they asked a lot. From the moment we left the castle they asked questions about everything.

Finally we came upon the end of the trail where a small cottage stood; animals small and large sat or played on the outside, a quaint little garden of flowers and a small garden filled with vegetables stood as well.

“This is cute,” I said as we walked up

“This is where Fluttershy lives,” Spike said “we don’t like that she lived so close to the Everfree but she won’t move.”

Twilight started to walk up to the trace to Fluttershy’s door, before she could knock the door swung open and the butter yellow Pegasus came out humming a beautiful song; she was carrying a basket of vegetables.

“Oh hello,” she said as she saw us all standing in front her “what brings you all here?”

“We’re just going to see Vreizo’s new place,” Twilight said “so we thought we will pass by, see if you’ll want to come with us?”

“Oh, no, no, no,’ Fluttershy said quickly “the Everfree is dark and scary, and there are monsters inside it, how can I enter?”

“But we’ll be with Vreizo,” SweetieBell insisted “nothing will dare fight with him.”

Fluttershy looked up and me then to the others and shook her head “Still, I have to take care of my animal friends today,” Fluttershy said

As she said that a white bunny hopped over to her, he glared at me and hopped onto Fluttershy’s back, then her head and pulled her ear. He was aggressively tugging but still had his eyes glaring at me.

“What’s white the bite sized snack?” I asked as the bunny somehow managed to flip me the finger “it’s rude as f-“

“Vreizo,” Twilight exclaimed before I can finish my sentence “Angel bunny is just a little suspicious of everyone around Fluttershy at first.”

I looked at the white bunny who did the; I have my eyes on you sign and hopped away. Fluttershy had started to hand out the vegetables to the animals in her yard while humming her song. It was a beautiful sight to see, she somehow understood the animals and they her. was this part of the pony magic I read about or was it some innate ability they each had, like that cutie mark they all bore., I would ask Twilight about it soon.

“Well Fluttershy we’ll be going to the castle now,” Twilight said

“Alright, be safe and don’t talk to any strange ponies you see,” Fluttershy said in her singsong voice that sounded motherly

As we walked off I pulled Spike to me and came down close “Is it just me or does Fluttershy give off the sexiest mother vibe ever?” I asked

Spike went red “She does,” he affirmed then cleared his throat “how else do you think she tamed the god of chaos.”

“What,” I questioned “who?”

“Discord,” Spike said matter of factly “the god of chaos I know you read about him in the books.”

I was stunned the shy scared of everything had the Equestrian god of chaos wrapped around her finger. How did she do it, Fluttershy is probably the most dangerous creature in all of Equestria to pull that off, or maybe it was just her ass…yup probably the ass.

I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I did not realize that we had already entered the Everfree forest and had come up upon another house that was hollowed out of a giant oak tree. AppleBloom ran forward and had knocked on the door, after a few moments the door opened and a zebra stepped out she looked at us all.

“Hi Zecora!” AppleBloom greeted

“Hello little friend, you came to visit, but not alone I see come in a sit,” the Zebra said in a rhyme

I came low to Twilight’s ear “Does she always talk this way?” the princess pony nodded as Zecora looked at me

“A new friend you bring to me, a peculiar one to see isn’t he.”

“Yes I am peculiar, but do not fret,” I began “I won’t harm or bite you won’t have regret.”

I found myself rhyming along with the zebra who smiled at my antics, she stepped to the side and made way for us to pass but Twilight stopped us with a wing

“Unfortunately Zecora can we take a rain check,” Twilight asked “we are visiting to see the process of the castle of the two sisters.”

“Ah the castle you may go, the workers have ran like baby does,” explained Zecora Twilight’s eyes grew wide and immediately turned and ran deeper into the forest, we said our goodbye’s the Zebra and ran following the princess of friendship

She didn’t stop, but she gained speed, it was easy for me to keep up as well as spike but the three fillies found themselves lagging behind us. I stopped and grabbed them with my tails and placed them on my back not missing a beat we followed the princess through the forest. We came where the forested area started to give way to broken walls and a march that was being tended to but was abandoned.

The castle was right in our sights, the equipment was left where they were and all form of life was gone. Twilight stopped at the entrance of the caste. The roof and walls were completed but the surrounding area was a mess with the debris and old equipment.

“Stay on my back,” I told the girls “I don’t want you hurt.”

The fillies nodded on my back as we walked through, what had scared the workers away; as we walked deeper into the ground of the castle we felt eyes on us. Instinctively Spike and I took defence positions and waited, we blocked Twilight as she had no way of protecting herself.

“Can you smell them?” asked Spike

“Yeah,” I replied I took a deep breath “come out, we know you are there!”

From within the castle four manticores stepped out they looked at us hungrily, the three fillies on my back tensed and Twilight flinched at the sound of the roar it emitted.

“This’ll be fun,” I said licking my lips “I haven’t hand meat in almost three weeks.”

I took the fillies off my back and placed them next to twilight and looked at Spike motioning for him to stay with the girls. I stepped forward, my muscles flexing under my fur, I bared my fangs and kept my head low.

“Vreizo, their poison is very potent I don’t even know if you can survive,” called Twilight

“Then I suppose I should stay away from their tails,” I quipped as they stalked me their growled

One was about to attack but was knocked back a large blue swatted away the manticore and a roar filled the area. I turned my head to see the two ursa minors standing over to me.

“Well, I didn’t expect this,” I said as the bears attacked the manticores and chased them off, they then came and laid on their stomachs their head on the floor in front me, they scooted forward, I petted one and then the other “were you two always in the area?”

The purrs that came from the bears made me chuckle, Twilight and the others approached cautiously. They looked at me and then to the ursa minors.

“Wa?” asked Twilight

“Yeah, they are the bears that attacked the village, I don’t know why but they are now my pets,” I said nonchalantly “seems like the workers were chased away by those things.”

“Wa?” Twilight said again as the bears purred under my touch

Scootaloo was the bravest of the three fillies and came up to the bear and started to pet it, first she did it timidly but as soon as it began to purr her smile started to show as she beamed with pride.

“Oh my gosh,” she squealed “I’m touching an ursa minor.”

“Be careful Scootaloo,” Twilight breathed out finally

I flicked my tail and the bears stood, they looked at me expectantly “Stay here,” I said and they sat where they were not moving.

“What, how,” asked Twilight “how are they listening to you?”

I shrugged “No idea,” I said “let’s go in”

We entered into the castle doors and looked around the castle, they had already finished the interior as well, and the three fillies ran off on their own with Spike trailing behind them. Twilight and I explored the now renovated place.

“Well, seems like they did it all,” Twilight began “except for the courtyard I would say it’s finished.”

I nodded as we stood in the large ballroom, I had remembered the promise I had made to Pinkie Pie and expected her to transform this place into something I couldn’t imagine.

“Well, this is my new home now,” I said “now I gotta decorate.”

“Don’t worry you’ll have the best pony in all of Equestria to help you with it,” Twilight said, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow “Princess Celestia of course.”

“Twilight,” I began “even if Celestia got a ass that won’t quit, her style is literally to bright for me.”

Twilight stood there mouth agape as I walked off to explore the other parts of the castle

“Vreizo,” she called “you cannot say things like that about the princesses!”

“Why not, many citizens probably think she got a nice flan as well,” I laughed ducking into another room “besides, who else is gonna tease sunbutt princess.”

Twilight galloped after me rage in her eyes if she found me I know I was probably going to be hit over the head, might as well stay far away. As I ran our chase turned into a weird game of hide and seek, I had found the throne room and had managed to sit on the throne.

“I could get used to this,” I chuckled to myself “master of the everfree.”

“Master my hoof,” I turned to see Twilight looking at me with a smile as she was partially covered by the shadows in the room, she stepped out and “be very grateful I cannot use my magic.”

“I know,” I grinned “so, I suppose I should head to Canterlot now.”

“You can get the last train out of Ponyville at eight,” Twilight said “let’s go find Spike and the girls.”

***

Under the shadows of the night something moved, the city was bursting with life, many ponies made their way to and from work, or were now getting into their drinking for the night. The thing slipped through from shadow to shadow. It was searching it sipped over some ponies making them shiver from the touch. None fit the criteria it was looking for.

It went on through the night entering into the slums of the city it felt the despair and rage of the surrounding ponies. As it moved it came upon a ally where a four stallion were. It stopped and waited, three large ponies were beating on the smaller stallion.

They laughed as the smaller stallion fell over bleeding his horn broken and in the stallions magic, they turned to leave, immediately the thing rushed forward entering into the stallion’s ears, mouth and nose. The stallion gasped and started to convulsed. The stallions from before turned and looked as the smaller stallion stood, the blood draining out his mouth.

“What he wants more,” one of the larger stallions said laughing, he held the magic in his magic and waved it to the smaller stallion “what you want this come and get it.”

The smaller stallion threw his head back and the scream that escaped his throat was deathly, his eyes began to glow a sickly yellow as he cocked his head to the side and licked his lips.

“Be my sustenance,” the sickly voice said, his jaw unhinged as he stepped forward the stallions stepped back as the stallion stepped forward.

“Hell no,” another of the stallion exclaimed as he charged his horn to attack, the instant he sent his magic out it was swallowed by the smaller stallion “what!”

The smaller stallion stepped forward his head cocking to the other side as a smile that tore his cheeks at the seams.

“More,” it crackled “become my sustenance.”

The stallions began to run, but was immediately blocked by a wall of miasma, they tried to touch but reeled back in pain their bodies corroding from the touch. They began to cry, their wails of help went unheard as they sent blasts of magic at the smaller stallion, it stood unfazed, its smile ever evident.

“Don’t kill us,” one cried dropping to his knees and bowing his head

The smaller stallion stepped forward it’s body moved jagged raising a hoof, the stallion brought it down, smashing the head of the first, he raised his hoof and licked the brain matter off his hoof, he turned his head to the other two and stepped towards them.

The sound of crushing bones and screams filled the night air. Soon the ally was silent, the single small stallion mouth stained with the blood of the three stallions.

“More,” the stallion crackled

Standing the stallion picked up the blood stained hoodie from the floor and walked out the ally and into the bustling night of the city. The bodies left behind were mangled with missing organs and body parts.
