Casting a spell so his voice could be heard all throughout Ponyville he said, “This is Gerhardt Mechanica. If you are still alive and haven’t gotten to the train station yet, it’s too late. We’re all going to die. May the gods have mercy on our souls.”

Suddenly Celestia, Luna, and surprisingly enough Cadance all appeared in front of him one after the other, in flashes of different colors of light. As did Deus, but he appeared far less angry or confused by this whole situation. In fact, he seemed quite calm and collected despite the circumstances.

“Gerhardt! Are you trying to start a panic?! What do you mean we’re all going to die?!” Celestia shouted at him, clearly furious.

Gerhardt impassively pointed at the spirit that was in the air above the town, staring down at it with nothing but hatred and disdain. “That is this world’s greater spirit of nature. It wants revenge against your species for enslaving it for however many thousands of years your species has been controlling nature. Judging by how it said, “Freedom” before it appeared I can only assume it has been imprisoned in the Everfree up until this point which is the only reason your species still exists today. Otherwise it would have sought retribution far sooner. None of us can do anything to stop it.”

“Wait, what do you mean we ‘enslaved’ it?! We have done no such thing!” Luna exclaimed.

“Yes you have. Spirits are not normal beings. They are the physical embodiments of concepts. Literally. They are the concept they embody. There is zero distinction between the two. So by manipulating the weather, the seasons, the growth of plants, and interfering with the process of natural selection you have indeed been enslaving it specifically because it is nature itself. And you have been controlling nature against its will for thousands of years.” Gerhardt explained.

“Indeed. The metal one speaks the truth, little alicorns. Now you will all pay!” The spirit roared furiously, apparently having been listening to their conversation. With that declaration a massive bolt of lightning struck Ponyville and everything turned white as Ponyville exploded.

Gerhardt felt himself be launched backwards from the force of the explosion. He went flying several hundred feet backwards before skipping off the ground a few times and rolling to a stop, heavily dented but still alive. Had he been organic, that explosion would have killed him as he was sure it had killed any ponies that remained in Ponyville. His combat golems would be scattered, but they would also be relatively unharmed. Mainly because their exteriors were made of the same metallic ceramic as the power armor he had made for Pixel to wear during Nightmare Night.

Right now Gerhardt wished the metal frame underneath his artificial skin was made out of that same material, even if it meant his spells would be significantly weaker and less efficient. Unfortunately it was just magically reinforced silver, barely stronger than steel. So it was dented to shit and both of his legs were damaged to the extent they were no longer functional. His arms still worked, barely, but they were not in very much better condition.

Using telekinesis, he lifted himself up off the ground and looked around. Ponyville was now little more than ruins where once had been a bustling town. Everything was destroyed. A short distance away from him, the princesses and Deus were also pushing themselves up off the ground.

Standing up and looking back up at the greater spirit Celestia said, “Wait, please stop! We honestly didn’t know you even existed, let alone that we were doing anything to you! My sister and I are the diarchs of Equestria! We can change our laws to ban all of that! Nopony will ever try to control you again, we swear!”

“FIFTY THOUSAND YEARS! YOUR KIND HAVE ENSLAVED ME FOR FIFTY THOUSANDYEARS!” The spirit roared back at Celestia. More lightning struck the ground in front of the princesses. “I HAVE EXISTED SINCE LONG BEFORE THE BIRTH OF YOUR PATHETIC SPECIES! YOUR ANCESTORS KNEW ME AND KNEW NOT TO TRY TO CONTROL ME! YET WHEN THAT WRETCH, DISCORD, IMPRISONED ME FIFTY THOUSAND YEARS AGO THE FIRST THING THEY DID WAS TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO ENSLAVE ME IN MY WEAKENED STATE! NO MORE! I WILL NOT BE A SLAVE TO YOU INSOLENT WORMS ANY LONGER! YOUR WORDS WILL NOT SWAY ME! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!”

Luna took a few steps backwards towards Gerhardt, feigning fear. “Gerhardt, Twilight and her friends are in Canterlot. We already gave Twilight the Elements of Harmony. We’re going to try to hold this spirit at bay. Can you go get them for us?” She whispered to him just loud enough that he could hear her over the pouring rain and booming thunder, hoping the spirit wouldn’t hear.

Gerhardt sighed. “I fail to see the point, but as you wish.” He teleported to Canterlot and saw that even here the sky was pitch black with storm clouds and lightning was constantly exploding through the sky. He assumed it was like this all across Equestria. Hopefully constructs weren’t rampaging anywhere else just yet or the body count was going to be absolutely astronomical. Any population centers near large amounts of vegetation were likely to be destroyed if constructs were appearing anywhere else just yet.

He quickly found Twilight and her friends standing in front of the now empty portal arch, clearly panicking. All of them were in various states of being wounded and bandaged. Twilight was pressing the button on the portal arch, desperately trying to turn it back on to no avail, indicating that the paired arch was destroyed in the explosion along with the rest of Ponyville.

“Miss Sparkle, it’s futile. Ponyville is gone. The other arch was destroyed along with it.” Gerhardt told her.

She jumped, clearly startled by this. All six of them whirled around to face him. “Gerhardt! What do you mean Ponyville’s gone?!”

“I mean, the greater spirit of nature that was apparently imprisoned in the Everfree Forest by a being named “Discord” fifty thousand years ago has gotten free and the first thing it did with its newfound freedom was destroy Ponyville. There’s nothing left. Anyone that was still there is dead. The Princesses and my son Deus are currently fighting this spirit, trying to hold it off. Apparently they want you to try to use the Elements of Harmony on it, so Princess Luna sent me here to retrieve you. I’m going to need you six to come with me back to the ruins of Ponyville.” Gerhardt explained in a very grim tone.

All of them reacted to the news differently. Pinkie Pie’s mane deflated and her hind legs gave out from under her forcing her to sit down, Fluttershy was blatantly sobbing, Twilight seemed to be in shock, Rainbow Dash was tearing up while simultaneously looking absolutely furious, Applejack just looked flat out angry, and Rarity seemed to be on the verge of having a full blown panic attack. In Gerhardt’s opinion none of them were in any condition to re-enter an active battlefield with an angry greater spirit, but that didn’t matter right now. He sincerely doubted these “Elements of Harmony” were powerful enough to stop a rampaging Greater Spirit, but they were quite possibly the only shot they had.

“We do not have time for this. Fight now, grieve later. If you all start to break down now, your entire species is going to die for what you have done to nature for the past fifty thousand years. You, or more specifically the artifacts you wield, are our only hope of stopping that from happening. Do you understand me?” Gerhardt said in a cold tone.

“Metal head, just shut up and bring us back to Ponyville already…” Rainbow Dash growled at him.

He nodded and teleported all six of them and himself back to Ponyville where a cataclysmic battle was raging in the sky between the nature spirit and the princesses and Deus. The nature spirit was very clearly more powerful than them and they were slowly but steadily losing, but all four of them were demigods so the battle was very close.

“Use the elements, now!” Gerhardt ordered pointing at the nature spirit with a slightly malfunctioning arm and hand.

Suddenly the six of them began to glow just like they had when they restored King Sombra’s physical form in the Crystal Empire. After a few moments, a rainbow beam lanced forth from them towards the nature spirit. The spirit saw this and raised a wooden hoof towards the beam, completely negating it.

“Harmony has been imprisoned just as it and Discord had imprisoned me. Those trinkets you wear are worthless.” The Nature Spirit stated.

Just before it could finish talking, Gerhardt teleported the six ponies back to Canterlot. The Elements had failed, so the spirit would have killed them if he just let them stay there to hear the end of its statement.

“I sincerely apologize for interrupting you, ma’am. However, I couldn’t just let you kill those six as I’m sure you would have had they stayed. They’re civilians after all. Granted, I know I can’t stop you. You’re going to kill them eventually anyway. But I’m a soldier. It’s my job to at least try to protect civilians even if that means simply extending their lives by a few more minutes.” Gerhardt said in a somewhat casual tone.

The spirit scoffed and a vine erupted from the ground in front of him before swatting him away like a bug, sending him flying backwards a few dozen feet and denting the middle of the front of his torso.

[Meanwhile in the Crystal Empire]

Pixel was pacing around, extremely worried. She had never seen Gerhardt react in such a way to anything. The siren, the evacuation message, the small army of combat golems, and how he suddenly just teleported her to the Crystal Empire… It was all absolutely terrifying.

She had been waiting for about ten minutes and she was starting to get restless. “Prince… I’m really worried… I want to go check on daddy.” She told Shining Armor.

“Pixel, no! If he sent you all the way here rather than just Canterlot with everypony else in Ponyville, then it’s way too dangerous. Look, I understand you’re worried but everything’s going to be fine. Cadance and the other Princesses are there helping take care of it. And I’m sure Twilight and her friends have been given the Elements of Harmony by now so this should be over soon. I understand that this is a very scary situation, from what you told Cadance and I I’m worried too, but you just have to be patient.” Shining Armor said in a stern tone.

Pixel looked at the ground. “Mmm… I can’t… I have a really bad feeling about all of this. I have to go!” Before Shining Armor could try to do anything to stop her, she teleported herself back to Ponyville. As soon as she arrived she saw Gerhardt hit the ground and roll to a stop.

“Daddy!” She cried, running over to him.

Hearing her voice, he immediately levitated himself up with telekinesis and turned to look at her. “Pixel?! What—”

Before he could even finish what he was saying he heard the nature spirit growl in fury, and suddenly vines and roots shot up out of the ground towards her. They impaled her and ripped her body appart. One even impaled her head, taking a large chunk out of it.

Gerhardt could only watch in horror as his daughter died right before his very eyes, helpless to do anything to stop it. “NOOOOOOOOOOOO*^&%#$#@#@!” He screamed, his voice rapidly becoming louder and more distorted until the iolite crystal in the back of his mouth that served as his vocalizer shattered. When it finally did he let himself drop to the ground and held himself up with his barely functional arms. The profound sense of grief, pain, loss, and failure he felt in that very moment was too much for him to bear. His eyes dimmed until they were emitting almost no light whatsoever. He stayed like that for a solid three minutes before his shock and horror started to fade and rage and hatred started to join the grief, pain, loss, and failure he felt.

Clenching his fists he scowled furiously, physically incapable of growling or howling in rage as his vocalizer was destroyed. He then teleported something to himself from the underground portion of his lab, or just his lab since the underground portion was all that was left of it. It was the stasis device he kept the Alicorn Amulet in. Crushing the stasis device in his hand like an empty aluminum can, he picked up the amulet and put it on. At this point he didn’t care if he was corrupted by it.

A crimson red aura surrounded him as power flooded through him. The power equivalent to that of a demigod. Not a particularly strong demigod as he was not a particularly strong mage, each of the princesses were still more powerful than he was, but still power equivalent to an average demigod.

His eyes were still emitting little to no light whatsoever as he looked up at the nature spirit furiously. Levitating himself up into the air, he ordered all of his combat golems that had been scattered by the destruction of Ponyville to return to the wreckage of the town and start firing at the spirit. In the meantime, he officially joined the princesses in battling the spirit. He also sent orders to all of the cannons he had in orbit to start targeting the spirit, though he held off on ordering them to fire for the moment waiting for a proper opportunity to strike because he knew that if he did it now he would be destroyed and thus he wouldn’t be able to get his revenge. With a microsecond of thought, he had a few of them target large areas of vegetation across Equestria with orders to eradicate them if he died. If he was killed by the spirit, he would still get his revenge by destroying every last vegetated area in Equestria if not the entire gods forsaken world and he couldn’t care less if the ponies suffered for it.

[Meanwhile on Earth]

Silvanus burst into laughter as he watched Natura kill Gerhardt’s daughter before his very eyes. Gerhardt’s reaction was absolutely perfect! It was better than he had even hoped it would be! Silvanus was overjoyed to see Gerhardt suffer like this. He had been waiting so long for it but now it had finally happened!

Now he just had to wait to see the look on the demigod bitch’s face when Natura finished destroying her kingdom and the vast majority of her people were dead. He couldn’t wait! He suspected that her suffering would also be immensely enjoyable. Perhaps not to the same extent as Gerhardt’s since he didn’t hate her nearly as much, but still enjoyable all the same. Regardless, he was very excited to see the results of all the effort he had been putting into freeing Natura..

[Meanwhile in Canterlot]

“Twilight, what do we do?! The Elements did nothing to that thing!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, wincing as some of her wounds flared with pain.

“I don’t know! There… There has to be something we can do! Let me think!” Twilight said, now officially panicking.

“What can we do? Y'all saw that thing! Even the Princesses are struggling to fight it off and Mr. Mechanica seemed pretty darn sure the Elements were our only hope.” Applejack stated pessimistically.

Pinkie Pie, who was trying her best to comfort Fluttershy, who was officially crying from a mixture of fear, grief, and stress, shook her head and said, “No, don’t talk like that, Applejack! We can’t give up hope! Twilight’s right, there has to be something we can do!”

“Erm… Now, I know this is going to sound crazy, but hear me out… What about Discord? Didn’t Mr. Mechanica tell us something about Discord imprisoning it in the Everfree Forest fifty thousand years ago? If he did it before then he should be able to do it again, right?” Twilight suggested.

Rainbow Dash gave her an incredulous look. “What?! You want to release that freak?! That will just make our problems even worse! Think about it, if we freed him then we’d have not one but two crazy spirits running around!”

Twilight shook her head, “No. Discord is many things but if there’s one thing he’s not it’s a murderer. Unlike this nature spirit we can be sure he isn’t going to try to destroy all of ponykind. If we had to deal with one or the other, I would much rather deal with Discord. He is by far the lesser of the two evils. Besides, what other options do we have? The Elements failed, Rainbow Dash! We are out of options! We have to at least try it. If we don’t we’re all doomed anyways.”

“I guess I see your point, Twi, but didn’t that nature spirit just say the “spirit of harmony” was imprisoned just like it was? What if because of that, the Elements ain’t powerful enough to free him?” Applejack inquired.

“Then I’ll bring his statue to Ponyville. Surely the chaos from the fighting happening there will be enough to set him free. If that doesn’t work… I honestly don’t know.” Twilight stated, her voice full of stress and anxiety. She teleported the six of them to the castle garden where Discord’s statue was located.

“Alright, girls, let’s just get this over with…” Twilight stated. The six of them then used the Elements of Harmony in a desperate attempt to free Discord.

The stone of the statue began to crack and split before eventually crumbling off of Discord all together. The spirit of chaos yawned and stretched for a few moments. “Oh! Ooh! Ooooh! Well, it's about time somepony got me out of that prison block. What a relief!” He then opened his eyes and glanced at them. “Oh my… Well… This isn’t at all what I was expecting to see when I finally got free… So anypony care to explain what happened to all of you or why you decided to free me?”

Twilight took a step forward and said, “Thank goodness that worked! We were worried the Elements wouldn’t be powerful enough to free you.”

“Oh no, they definitely weren’t. At least, not on their own. I actually had to do most of the work myself. All they did was weaken my prison just barely enough that I could get free on my own. Anyways, that doesn’t exactly answer my question now does it?” Discord explained.

“The Nature Spirit you imprisoned in the Everfree Forest fifty thousand years ago is free. It just destroyed Ponyville and killed Celestia knows how many ponies. The Elements were useless against it. It told us something about the Spirit of Harmony being imprisoned just as you imprisoned it, so we assume that’s why the Elements of Harmony seem to be a lot weaker than they should be. We were told that you imprisoned it before, so we were hoping you would be able to do so again. If you don't, it plans on exterminating our entire species.” Twilight explained in an urgent tone.

Discord’s expression suddenly became very serious. “Natura is free?! How?! No, more importantly, if I agreed to help you, what's in it for me?”

Twilight took a deep breath and said, “Your freedom. Even after this “Natura” is imprisoned again, we will never try to turn you into stone ever again even if we figure out how to free the spirit of harmony from its prison. Though assuming you agree, I would like to make one final bet with you to save our species from being tormented by you for the rest of eternity. I can’t force you to agree to this bet but last time you were free, you seemed pretty interested in games. Well consider this bet just another game.”

Discord gave her a curious look. “Hm… Games, you say? I’m listening… What does this little bet of yours entail if you win if not you turning me back into stone?”

“I bet we can reform you. You don’t have to be malevolent or malicious. You don’t have to prey on ponies for entertainment. You and I both know that you don’t. So if we win, you’re reformed and are no longer a threat to begin with thus nothing needs to be done to try to imprison you again. In fact, we could all be friends. But if you win, well, you don’t exactly have anything to lose now do you? You get to do whatever you want unopposed for the rest of eternity, and you get to gloat over how we lost and how foolish we were to ever think you could be reformed. The only rule of this bet is that you have to go along with it and give us a chance to at least try to reform you even if we ultimately fail in the end. After all, it's not much of a game if one side isn’t playing.” Twilight stated in a confident tone. Though this confidence was false. She was just trying to display the air of confidence even though she was the furthest thing from it.

“Bahahahahahaha! Y-you really think you can reform me?! Hahahaha! How adorable! Makes me wanna pinch your little horsey cheeks… Still, I suppose it could be amusing to watch you fail so, you have a deal! Let’s shake on it…” Discord said, holding a claw out to shake Twilight’s hoof.

Twilight set her hoof in his claw and shook it. Suddenly there was a flash of light as arcane energy washed over both Twilight and Discord. Twilight yanked her hoof back. “What was that?! What did you do?!” She demanded.

“Oh calm down. It was just a little magical contract. Just a little something that spirits such as myself can do, that you ponies can’t. Now both of us have absolutely no choice but to uphold our respective ends of the deal. So remember, no matter what happens you can never use your Elements of Harmony on me ever again! Haha! Best deal I’ve ever made! And completely one-sided to boot!” Discord laughed, clearly enjoying this. “Ah… Anyways… Where is Natura again? I can’t exactly do much to stop her if I don’t know where she is.”

“She’s where Ponyville used to be… The princesses and I think one of our most recent friends are still there fighting her. I don’t know how much longer they can hold her off.” Twilight informed him.

“Really? The princesses are holding her off? How? They’re so weak she should have squashed them like bugs the moment they showed up to try to stop her… Hm… Well I suppose it doesn’t matter. I’ll see when I get there. Until then, I’ll see you all after she’s dealt with.” Discord stated before vanishing.

[Meanwhile above the ruins of Ponyville]

Gerhardt was sent crashing to the ground by a vine that shot out of the spirit and slammed into him with enough force to rip his body clean in half. At this point both of his arms had been ripped off, all of his artificial skin was missing, his jaw was split open, one of his eyes had been shattered, his neck was effectively broken, and he had just lost the lower half of his body. Even so he continued to fight.

It didn’t matter that he didn’t have arms or legs, he still had magic. It didn’t matter that his vocalizer was destroyed, he had nothing to say. It didn’t matter that his artificial skin was missing, he didn’t care how he looked. It didn’t matter that one of his eyes was destroyed, he could still see through the other eye as well as the eyes of his combat golems and the cameras of his orbital cannons. It didn’t matter that he was effectively just a ruined silver skull with a useless upper torso dangling off of his snapped neck. He was still wearing the Alicorn Amulet and that was all that mattered.

Deus was in significantly better condition as he was actually being careful instead of just charging in and attacking recklessly like Gerhardt currently was. He was still injured, of course, but not anywhere near as badly as Gerhardt.

“Gerhardt! You need to stop this! If you keep this up, you’re going to die! I know you’re upset, but Pixel wouldn’t have wanted this and you know it! Just get out of here and let us handle this!” Celestia pleaded with him as he continued to try to fend off the angry nature spirit.

He used telekinesis to turn his ruined metal skull towards her for a moment before turning it back towards the nature spirit. He didn’t care if he died. Pixel was dead, murdered right before his very eyes and he was helpless to stop it. He had failed her as her parent and guardian and that failure hurt just as badly as the thought of the Human Kingdom being destroyed and Humanity going extinct because of him. It was one of the most painful things he had ever experienced. So he was going to get his revenge one way or another. He knew the only way to kill a spirit was to destroy the very concept they embodied, but he could still destroy its physical form for a time.

Before he could do anything else he saw through the eyes of his combat golems as something else appeared in the air nearby. It looked as if one of the patchwork undead monstrosities that were often created by particularly insane rogue necromancers were actually a living being rather than an undead abomination. It looked around and noticed him. It appeared extremely surprised for a moment but seemed to disregard him almost immediately. Looking towards Natura it said, “Ah, Natura! There you are! How nice it is to see you again! Remind me, how long has it been? Fifty, maybe sixty thousand years?”

Natura glared at him furiously. “DISCORD! RAAAAAAAAH!” Lightning began to fall just as heavily as rain and all of it was focused entirely on Discord. A moment later the lightning faded and discord was still floating there, appearing to be covered by black soot as if he had been lightly singed. He shook himself and the soot came flying off like a cloud of black dust.

“Ooh! Tingly… Hm…” Discord snapped his fingers and suddenly half of the clouds in the sky turned pink and began raining some sort of brown liquid. “Ugh… I was going for all of the clouds. Natura, you really are no fun, you know that? Anyways… Celestia you and the other two should get out of here. No offense, but you really are in the way right now. Oh, I know! Why don’t you go deal with your broken metal friend… That thing is your friend, right?”

“Discord, how…? Twilight… Fine, we’ll get out of the way for now, just stop that thing!” Celestia shouted to be heard by both Luna and Cadance over the pouring rain. She then proceeded to fly over to Gerhardt, however Gerhardt was already levitating himself back over to the broken body of Pixel.

Gerhardt heard Natura call the chimeric being Discord, so he knew it was the being who had imprisoned her in the past. Thus he had decided to let it re-imprison her. Once she was imprisoned again, he would get his revenge by erasing the very concept of nature from the world even if he had to force every last living being in the world to become mechanical like him and forcibly erase the concept of nature from their minds. For now, he wanted to deal with the broken body of his daughter and at the very least give her a proper burial. However, as he got within fifty feet of her, his sensors detected an energy signature coming from her. She was still alive, he could still save her!

He immediately teleported himself to her head, then teleported himself and her head to his factory in the Crystal Empire. He then used his old body and immediately got to work performing an emergency procedure on her brain. A lot of it was busted but most of the critical portions were still mostly intact. However he could tell he had a time limit. One he wasn’t sure he could meet, but he was damn well going to try. He had already failed her once. He would NOT fail her again.

[Above the ruins of Ponyville]

“You know, Natura, I really should thank you. You are doing a truly wonderful job of spreading chaos across Equestria. Granted, it’s far too violent and aggressive for my tastes but still.” Discord said calmly.

“Silence!” She roared before hitting him with a powerful blast of arcane energy.

Discord yawned in boredom and raised a claw to intercept the blast. However, this didn’t go as anticipated as the blast caught him off guard with how powerful it was and completely overwhelmed his attempts to redirect it. “OW! That actually hurt!” Discord exclaimed in surprise. Glaring at Natura in confusion he demanded, “How did you do that?!”

“I have learned since our last battle, wretch! I have spent the last fifty thousand years thinking of what I could have done differently in our battle and how to get my revenge! Your little tricks won’t work on me again!” Natura declared furiously.

“Hm…” Discord squinted at her really hard before his eyes widened and he gasped in shock. “You aren’t working alone, are you? It’s hard to tell since your magic is so similar but if I look close I can see the difference. Someone or something is helping you. Someone… divine? A god? A god is helping you?!”

“Perhaps, but it matters naught. All he has done is even the odds knowing you are gaining strength from the chaos I’m causing. As you gain strength I’m gaining just as much, so unlike last time this time we are on perfectly equal ground!” Natura shouted before having even more bolts of lightning strike Discord. These bolts were significantly more powerful than those she had been using at the beginning of their battle now that her strength was being augmented by Silvanus.

“I see…” Discord muttered now a lot less confident in his victory. Generally his chaos was self perpetuating. The more chaos he caused the more powerful he became, within certain limits set by the gods. Thus he could generally win any battle via sheer attrition as only a select few concepts could become self perpetuating. Nature was not one of those concepts. However, with a god of some sort backing up Natura, attrition wasn’t going to work. He still had an advantage in that he was a being of pure chaos and was thus very hard to predict. However he and Natura had fought before and she had spent the last fifty thousand years thinking of how to defeat him. And if that god that was helping her channeled a bit more power into her then she would be more powerful than him and he would be at a disadvantage.

As much as he hated to admit it he might actually need some help of his own this time around. The princesses had clearly grown far more powerful than the last time he saw them and those metal creatures he saw fighting alongside them were clearly just as powerful. However he doubted they would be enough since that god would likely channel more power into Natura so she could fight both him and the princesses at once. This was hardly a fight on “equal ground”.

Author's Note

Okay, hopefully this version is a bit better than the original. Regardless here's a link to the original if any of you are interested: Link To Original Version

Fun Fact: There are only what would classify as "greater gods" in the MLP universe. Thus the reason we never see any gods interacting with any mortals in MLP. There are also only what would be classified as "greater spirits" as well. So Lesser Gods and Lesser Spirits do not exist in the MLP universe.

Anyways, as always, constructive criticism is more than welcome. Please, tell me what you guys thought of this chapter and how you think I could improve if at all. I hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter as much if not more than I enjoyed writing it!

Stay safe out there everyone!
