"Purification"
(0) Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterAnon has been living in Equestria for a week, and during that time he never told the ponies his real name. The ponies tried to get Anon to tell them his feelings, but he turned them all down. Twilight asked Anon about his past life, sure he responded but only with half truths. Nopony knew anything about Anon and were afraid he was keeping dark secrets, this only got worse when he blew Bon Bon's cover. Twilight didn't know how to help his friend Anon so she sent a letter to Princess Celestia requesting aid.
Her golden chariot arrived a day later, Anon met her outside. When Anon and Celestia met for the first time they both knew the other was wearing a fake smile. Celestia figured he must be up to no good, because she has never met another creature with such a false smile with so little emotions behind it. Anon on the other hand was very interested in Celestia, sure her smile was more genuine but it was still fake, Anon really wanted to learn about her and tried to make a good impression. "Ah, Celestia I assume. A pleasure to met you." Anon said as he bowed dramatically. "I heard that you came here to talk to me, please come in." Anon opened the door for her and followed her in afterwards. She then sat on a cushion while I sat on a stool. (Stools are better than cushions.) It was then that Celestia decided to talk.
"Anon, I have heard a lot about you recently."
Anon sarcastically replied."Nothing bad I hope?"
"No, not necessarily, I have heard that you keep to yourself and refuse to tell others about what you did to Bon Bon, It make me wonder why you refuse to speak of yourself."
Anon mulled this over a bit. "Well I find talking about myself pointless, I don't wish to speak of my past because I have secrets and so does Bon Bon."
The princess raised an eyebrow seemingly surprised. She dismissed the last statement. "Surely there is something interesting in your life that you could share with others."
"Hm, nope I simply exist, my previous purpose in life was to help humanity move forward."
Celestia looked questionably at you. "What is your purpose now?"
Anon could only think of one thing. "For now I wish to learn everything unique about this planet and it's inhabitants, but most particularly I wish to learn about all the magics in this land."
"All the magics you say." Celestia grinned. "Surely that doesn't include necromancy and other dark magics?"
Anon considered lying to her but decided he didn't care If it was a crime or not. "Yeah sure, magic is a useful tool, and like any tool they can be dangerous in the wrong hands."
Celestia was both surprised at my honesty and angry that I would want to learn such dangerous and disturbing magic. "Anon Dark magic and necromancy are evil, they can corrupt you!"
Anon raised an eyebrow at her outburst. "So says the princess of harmony, I would think that a harmonious country would learn how to include magics of all types and use them in harmony. Guess not."
Celestia ignored that statement and labeled it as nonsense. "Anon you need help, but don't worry I will find a way to fix you." Celestia got up and left. Hm it seems I misunderstood her, I figured she was at least similar to the understanding pony she is in the books. Anon pondered this while diving into more magic books.
Celestia didn't understand why Anon told her these things, but the things he said got her thinking. He wishes to seek out darkness, maybe he has been corrupted already? Should we use the elements on him and purify him of this darkness so he can live happily? Celestia put on a determined face and decided to gather Twilight and her friends.
Later in the day Anon found himself brought to Canterlot Castle's throne room. "Princess this is the second time we have met today, surely my presence isn't that alluring to you, is it?" Anon smirked on the inside at his illogical joke.
Celestia continued smiling. "Actually Anon I brought you here so I can help you."
Anon for the first time frowned in Equestria. "Celestia there is nothing to help, unless you wish to bestow upon me forbidden knowledge of magic."
Celestia gave a sad frown and used magic to hold Anon in place and open the doors to the side of her throne. "No Anon we won't let corruption take you, I was to late to save my own sister but I can still save you."
Anon tried to free himself to no avail, so he accepted whatever fate he had with a stoic face. Twilight walked up to him. "Don't worry Anon, once we remove your darkness you will be able to live a happy and normal life."
This only made Anon more unhappy. "Twilight emotions are pointless, why be happy when I can be rich and well fed?"
Twilight frowned and said. "Don't worry This will all be over soon. Once your purified you will be happy just like Luna." Twilight and her friends charged the elements of 'harmony' and blasted away Anon's darkness pushing it out of the castle and off the edge of the mountain. Leaving behind a overly emotional human that was only concerned with making himself happy and finding 'love'.
Afterwards the human called himself 'Jared' and went back to Ponyville with his new friends. He happily joked with them and told them all about his advanced planet. He told them that he got here in a magical accident and then cried when he remembered he will never see his family. His new friends comforted him before they all went home and went to their personal beds. ('Jared'decided to stay at Twilight's house.)
While this was all happening a dark mist was forming itself into a vaguely humanoid shape at the bottom of Caterhorn mountain.
It's strange, have you ever felt every cell of your body at once and then have your body ripped apart and put together again without feeling pain? That sums up what I felt except without the cells. I looked up. Yes I fell off a mountain, and no I'm not panicking. Panicking is pointless just like many other emotions. Normal people would ask themselves why they are a floating dark mist, me? I don't care. All I know is that I have another new purpose now, discover everything I can about this 'body' I have.
Author's Note

Lot's of my ideas have potential, so tell me is this a bad idea?
Also I may not be the best writer but I'll try to correct any problems I see in the text, it's more than some other people do.
Please feel free to tell me it's crap, but it would be more useful if you can tell me specifically what makes it crap.
