Within the Canterlot Castle hallway.

Both Tender Care and Henry were trotting through the hallway.

Tender was still thinking of all the possibilities that came with Henry his knowledge then she remembered She wasn't brought along to prod his mind.

Henry quickly coughs to get the attention of the temporary distracted mare. "Do you think you could bring me to a place within the castle where I can. Well let's just say rehabilitate under your supervision without the possibility of being interrupted since I think it would be best for both of us. I know you probably have a lot of questions and want to prod at my mind but as a healer of the sick and someone who tends to wounds you already know how to hurt aswell. For its those who know how things work that are the best at tearing it apart or notice if something is wrong." Henry said while trotting next to Tender Care.

Tender Care suddenly looked in shock at Henry his statement she never thought of using what she knew to hurt somepony else but then it dawned on her that even with knowledge she had before reading his scrolls she could easily harm others and she quivered at the thought and wondered why somepony especially a stallion would have such a mindset. "We can maybe head to one of the ballrooms or other mostly unused rooms within the Night wing of the Castle. Princess Luna hardly uses them and most Thestrals and night guards only come out at Night. But if I can ask why a pony think of such terrible things like how to hurt somepony else?" Tender care asked nervously while leading Henry towards the Night wing of the Castle where he pasted a familiar door the same door he saw in the saddened suppressed memory he relived from Bluey.

Henry calmly looked at the door and felt sadness rise within him but he but on a calm expression. "Tender there is something you must know. I plan ahead, I worry and think of multiple angles to deal with a issue. My current mental state is violent even if it doesn't seem like it. Now I care about ponies alot and about others but as the head physician you must know my mental state isn't like that of a harmonious little Herbivore like it should be. Even less then what I think is the norm for stallion here considering what your earlier statement's. Especially not like how I was before the well let's just call it an incident." Henry said following Tender care into a large dark themed ball room with stars on its ceiling and slightly dusty ground.

"I've noticed you don't act like a normal stallion I'm a doctor I know how a healthy pony should act. You're mindset is more like that of a omnivore like a Thestral but with a undertone of a books description of a general changeling manipulative and calculating. I don't want to imagine what would cause such a mindset." Tender replied as she closed the door behind Henry.

"Oh right you don't see changelings alot yet they mostly keep to the badlands or hide in pony disguises during this time. But i don't think you have a fitting description. But cunning seriously all I did was give my aunties an ultimatum. But I guess the gender ratio in Equestria can explain why my actions seem unbefitting or uncommon for my gender. Coming from a relatively 1:1 ratio mindset of genders and males being more let's just say self destructive. It makes sense I might seem to act strange. And I might be planning something similarly self destructive but on a specific scale abusing medical knowledge to enforce muscle growth" Henry replied smiling as he remembers some dumb shit he and his friends did some times.

"Wait what?!" Tender Care let out in confusion.

Henry calmly waved his hoof in what he hoped was a calming gesture since pony body language is something he might have to learn as well as non verbal communication. "Don't worry I'm planning on listening to your medical expertise to stop when necessary. I'm only planning to use magic to put more strain on my muscle and vice versa on my magic pitting both against eachother while forcefully enticing muscle fibers to tear and repair. Basically enforcing biological muscle growth or stimulating it. Which is why I need your surveillance." Henry said in a calming tone.
I hope I'm not making it worse. Why did she get so worried. I mean I'm pretty sure our previous talk when I woke up ensured me the logic behind gaining muscle mass and strength was the same. Henry thought utterly confused about Tender Care her response.

"Not that the part about The changelings and about the gender ratio you're used to. Not to even mention the self endangerment. Not to mention how you seem to think how to see how something can be used to hurt somepony and your psychoanalysis of our gender ratio. It is really troubling. Maybe you better need some readjustment and psychological help to adjust because and I don't mean any offense but your mind seems bucked up!" Tender replied looking worried.

"I dont disagree with you but it will have to wait." As Henry said this he got a angry gaze from Tender Care that made him remember of the gazes his mother would give him if he'd disagree with her. "Now wait you need to understand that I don't know better. Ponies and well Homo sapiens are entirely different. You've already seen what a bit of our knowledge can do. You've actually proven to me that something's remained the same so listen carefully." Henry said trying to make Tender stop the motherly scowl.

"You better start explaining you're reasoning and no holding back information. If those homo thingies you think you were one of are so different and your mentality is normal then you should explain why I don't go to the princesses with your royal plot tied up." Tender said looking at Henry judging him.

Meanwhile with the Princesses.

Midnight and Spellslinger finished their report about Blueblood his activities.

Celestia worryingly questioned "And our nephew had a predatory smile and grin when he explained his dealings with opposition."

Luna turned to Celestia "Sister it seems that our nephew comes after his ancestors in cunning but Thou art right to worry. Our nephew has shown knowledge of frightening proportions but according to report he also showed restraint and wishes it not to fall in the wrong hooves. Him making us promise to act against him if needed is a sign of clarity."Luna said calmly.

Celestia turned to Luna "While that is true I fear for his wellbeing. He doesn't seem distraught or confused which makes me only worry more. I've only seen glimpses of normal behaviour during our prank on the guards or when he was within the garden amongst the animals. I think it's too early for Blueblood to be doing anything and I'm uncertain. He truly believes it's possible his mind isn't that of a pony but why would he then focus on his duties." Celestia said pondering.

Luna laughed "The modern times and peace have made thou lose thine edge sister. It is clear he has recognised something which caused him to take action even if it isn't in our nephews own best interest. And if thou would be lost sister and thou hast knowledge others do not but do not have the means to use it what would thou do?" Luna asked with a smile.

Celestia looked at Luna as realisation hit her "Sister you are right but wouldn't somepony in such a situation break down especially a stallion."

Spellslinger interrupted "Normally yes but he can't be considered a normal stallion. Normal stallion's don't pull a advanced knowledge of medical knowledge out of their flank. Sorry for interrupting Princesses." Spellslinger said embarrassed before bowing in apology.

Celestia just smiled and turned to Spellslinger and midnight"Both of you have been around him longer since the incident what do you two think is the best course of action? I would rather have my nephew under close watch and rehabilitating considering his strange behaviour."

Midnight laughed at the question drawing the attention of everypony in the room "My apologies Princesses but you are acting as if you could keep Blueblood contained or affect his plans too much. He had the expression of a predator before and he thinks like one. He told you his plans and left a way to continue to stay close and wishes to attain something with restoring Dartmoor and making it grow but I don't think that is his only plan. I mean seriously how he calmly planed on the spot before he knew of Dartmoor situation is terrifying and shows he isn't somepony that follows reason. Add ontop of that he gained unknown knowledge that he tries to apply to magic combine that with his stubbornness and his predatory way of thinking with a analytical mind. And you have one pony who would turn everything he can into a way to achieve his goals." Midnight calmly said as he stretched her wings " Doesn't mean I'll go easy on his royal plot he order us to keep him from slacking and drill him so I will." Midnight said laughing.

"It's true but you're making him sound like a Tartarian demon. He is still kind and a confused stallion." Spellslinger said glaring at Midnight.

"Kind yes confused probably but he isn't a wallflower stallion from the look and planning he has. And don't forget he have us both the order to keep him in line and drill his plot. I know you'd prefer the kind gentle noble side that showed when he healed the cook or talked about how he enjoys inspiring others or that poison induced memory where he was a gentlestallion. I've worked beside you for long enough that I know what type of colts you like. And how he made you blush like a tomato with honeyed and sweet words." Midnight said teasingly.

Spellslinger just blushed before stuttering a response "Like you are one to talk I know you like ordering him around but in the end you like a dominant and strong stallion" Spellslinger retorted causing Midnight to stick out her tongue.

Luna and Celestia just laughed at the two guard ponies who previously disliked their station and couldn't wait to get away from their nephew now teasing eachother but the results of the reports give the Princesses a lot to think about.

Celestia quickly spoke as she tried to get the attention of the now distracted guard mares. "I didn't expect our nephew to become a heart stealer again. But I expect both of you to be professional. As for your input I think my sister and I both agree our nephew should be given the support he desires for his plan. If not to ensure the safety of the ponies in the lands he mismanaged then to keep him close to us for his safety and the safety of other ponies so when he becomes a danger to himself or anypony else we can act." Celestia said with a kind smile.

"We agree sister but our guard standards must have dropped significantly if they act like school fillies during their first estrous." Luna said smiling gaining a bit of enjoyment into teaching both guard mares.

Both Spellslinger and Midnight blushed at the comments of the Princesses.

"Oh dear Luna I should tell you about our nephews younger years before he became such a spoiled noble just to prepare you slightly for what might come." Celestia said with a big smile on her face as she reminisced about better days.

"Thou shall have to. Now guards you are dismissed you can continue your normal assignment." Luna said with a smile.

Both Spellslinger and Midnight saluted before leaving the princesses still slightly embarrassed that Luna teased them.

Back at Henry and Tender Care.

Henry calmly breathed in then looked at Tender Care who stared at him expecting an answer. "Fine but you probably won't believe so. Homo sapiens are an omnivore species the dominant species on their planet earth or scientifically named Sol 3. They have no magic or none that I am aware of lots of myths and tales which include some species that live in Equis. Now as I stated before not the most harmonious bunch. But I'll give you the short version. Only sentient species on the planet. Our history is littered with much conflict and bloodshed but after each period of violence there was also a period of healing. Our harsh rise to power on our world through history has made us a rather strange mix of diplomatic and chaotic species. Equestria is technologically behind on so many fields as you probably noticed thanks to my notes given to you." Henry said nervously.

Tender Care looked at Henry with disbelief "If you had no magic then how could live exist there. How could myths about magical creatures exist you're making it hard for me to believe you. Not to mention that the species you believe you were sounds like a type of chaotic species with a lot of demon like traits. But the notes did work from my perspective you are a colt driven insane by knowledge they accidentally gained. You can understand why right? I mean an entire world without magic thats impossible even magic dead zones have small amounts of magic." Tender said looking at Henry

"Yes and honestly I don't know why we have myths of magic. Then again our history hardly makes sense to us at times. But even if I'm just insane or not I still have a duty. Because of those memories I can recognise the signs off corruption easily. But that isn't the only reason I want to go help Dartmoor it's a motivator a very strong one since I can't stand slavery and corruption but it is Also is a selfish desire. I know my normal behaviour before the incident was a sad excuse of a noble. Honestly I'm disgusted by it to my very core but to the point. If I can restore Dartmoor and use my knowledge to aid ponies I can make bits make the economy grow there. Attract talented ponies help them fill in the blanks that I don't fully grasp myself and create a place where dreams come true. Where knowledge is attained but to my more selfish reason. A way to both clear my tarnished name a little while also ensuring the possibility if I am not crazy or insane to have the talented ponies and resources to attempt to get home while tipping the economic and political power away from other nobles. I know you probably still think I'm insane so here is an example of things I know that I shouldn't by any logical means. Auntie Luna probably is worrying auntie Celestia for being slightly exhausted and seeming mentally and magically more exhausted then she should after dream walking even if right now. She probably asked you to keep your eyes on auntie Luna her well being after the hole Nightmare Moon incident but you wrote it off as adjustment period since everything seems normal." Henry calmly said but as he utters his last sentence Tender looks at him in shock and slight fear.

"How do you know that. And you said I wrote it off as something. Is it bad? You have to help if it's something important." Tender Care said in shock. He shouldn't know about that I keep my patients information or familial request personal. And he wasn't even there. Princess Celestia even asked me to talk to nopony about it. There is no way be should know. Tender care thought nervously.

"You don't need to worry. Yes auntie Luna has a issue that will attempt to run out of control but with the help of others it will be handled it sadly will stem of her guilt and be something she created to punish herself which will run out of control but that is still a long time in the future. But I'll be blunt if the winds of fate blow different I will act but there are some events that must come to pass. I do not know everything only little pieces and I don't even know the dates. But as a physician you should know that some things must go their course for things to get better. As being sick once can teach the body to be immune to things later so do some unpleasant events in the future hold lessons that will save Equestria." Henry said looking at Tender Care.Well if the episode dream of magic sheep is anything to go off still Luna shouldn't punish herself so much Henry thought.

If auntie Luna is sad and you know it why don't you help? I've seen what you wrote down for Tender Care so can you help auntie Luna? The little colt voice echoed in Henry his head.

I wish I could kiddo. Honestly I wish I could and even with the possible unlimited creative ways I can utilise magic. I can't help everypony. Atleast not yet who knows I'll ever be able kid I am already using your kind their vocal quirks and terms. And I have to prepare for the worst possible situation where I fade like a breath on a mirror. It's best to prepare for the worst instead of getting your hopes up. Henry thought while his expression turned defeated and his ears turned backwards in sadness both thinking of the possibility of him fading.

Tender first continued looking in shock at Henry his saddened expression "Must be really hard then isn't it. Not being sure if you're sane or not and even knowing things you shouldn't. I'd expect you to be a broken mess under the weight of it all. You're previous mindset would have already went whining to the Princesses." Tender said jokingly as she have Henry a comforting hug.

Henry hugged Tender Care back "Yeah but I know that self pity or breaking down about my situation wouldn't help anypony. So I trot onwards my best hoof forwards. If that even is a saying here. Doing what I can for as long as I can. Now can you please cast a diagnosis spell on me so I can start training. I've wasted enough time and my mind wondered to some places that won't help anyway." Henry said as he broke the hug.

Tender care broke the hug and nodded at Henry as she cast a simple diagnosis spell on him. "Blueblood..." Tender said softly as she was trying to think of something to say to show comfort to the Stallion that previously made her feel so ecstatic from the notes.

Henry just took another of the potion's ment to aid with his recovery. Not sure how he can pull it out from behind his flank but after drinking two of them he closed his eyes and focused on his telekenetic magic on himself as he felt the familiar unpleasant warm sensation fill his body quicker then before as his magic touched the very muscle and lot of fat his body had thanks to the previous luxurious lifestyle and put extra strain on his muscle using his magic pitting both forces against eachother while concentrating on the logic behind muscle formation and repair as he started training. The extra strain and higher dosage of the potion making him quickly feel like he was in a scorching desert sun.

"It's alright Tender. I understand." Henry winced. As he felt as if his veins and muscles were on fire while a headache creeped up.
Seems like the potions are doing their work but it's getting to rough ugh. Wait if telekenises can cause focused strain and guide cell repair maybe it can lower the vibrations of the atoms that make up the air As Henry thought little area around his body his magic touched seemed to cool exponentially making the heat burning fire sensation of his muscles and veins deteriorate to a uncomfortable desert heat while his headache got worse but he willed his way through it.

Tender Care looked worried as she noticed not only the change in temperature but the rapid changes going on with Henry according to spell she cast to diagnose any changes. What she the spell told her couldn't be normal.
Massive damage and repair to muscle mass in rapid succession and magical reserve growth at an alarming rate. This can't be the spell must be having interference of whatever Blueblood is doing. Those changes and strain would leave anypony in agony or fatigued especially with the double dosis of the potion He took. Spellslinger thought worryingly as she noticed the discomfort and pain on Henry's nuzzle.

Spellslinger watched Henry train for a long while trotting and channeling magic while his expression got more stiff and pained.

"Are you alright your highness?" Spellslinger asked in a shaking tone that made her worry easily recognisable as her ears drooped backwards. But then the room temperature dropped rapidly because of Henry.

"I felt like I was on fire now I got a flipping headache and feel like I'm in a freaking desert while I can see ice begining to form on the floor around me so yeah I'm freaking peachy." Henry grunted sarcastically as he looked at her.

"Sorry it's a pain and I honestly dislike pain I shouldn't be an ass about this but it's uncomfortable to say the least." Henry quickly said hoping he didn't offend Tender before.
I shouldn't act like an ass to her it was my idea to do this. he thought as he cursed at himself for having let his temper get the better of him like that.

"It's alright your highness. I thought you'd see it as worse then uncomfortable. But I think whatever you are doing is interrupting with my diagnosis spell. Not to mention how you can even effect the temperature in the room. You previously never saw any interest in spells that would do so." Tender replied confused at what was going on.
This growth of muscle mass and magical power is to abnormal to be real. Wait is his fat reseeding like the spell says. Tender care thought as she noticed the body fat Henry had from Blueblood his luxurious lifestyle started to melt away quickly before muscle mass replaced it quite quickly as she noticed the flanks once slightly coated with fat from the luxuriously lifestyle Blueblood lead was melting away and slowly replaced with strong firm muscles.
Tender care looked utterly confused at what was happening. "How? What?" She muttered in confusion looking at the strained expression on Henry his face.. Then she noticed Henry his eyes glow white

Henry had a magical outburst during his excersise. The room grow ice cold in the outburst and Henry fell down flat as the magical outburst also effected the muscles he was straining and forcibly repairing with magic. "I .. am not doing that again anytime soon." Henry said meekly as he got overwhelmed by his headache and aching muscles.This bucking sucks. Henry thought as he layed on the ground exhausted panting and sweating.

Tender Care just looked at him confused shivering from the cold that filled the room. Having cold hooves as a thin lair of ice covered the floor and she could see her breath. "How did you turn it cold? How did you grow your muscles mass and how aren't you a broken tired mess?" Tender asked Henry as she stared in utter confusion as the results of her diagnosis spell replied his muscle mass was even above the normal guard ponies their strength including the mares not taking earth ponies in account. And his magical strength was now that of a normal adult unicorn instead of his previous weak foalish state. Which was even above his previous lacking state as a spoiled noble pony living in the lap of luxury.
Sweet Celestia! What has Blueblood done this makes no sense!. Tender thought.

"Can you keep it down. My head hurts, my muscles ache and I feel thirsty and sweaty all over." Henry replied softly.

"Oh sorry you're highness but I will still need answers. I'll help you up and don't be afraid to lean on me" Tender replied as she helped Henry up.

Henry got up and leaned on Tender "Thank you Tender, sorry for being a hoof full" He said softly but then his white fur turned a shade of green. "Uhm we may need to trot towards the little stallions room." Henry said as he started to feel nauseous and had the urge to puke.

Tender Care noticed the shade of green growing darker and teleported them one of the bathrooms of the medical wing.

Henry rushed to towards the toilet and quickly threw up. "Damn... I don't feel so good..." Henry said between puking and held on to the toilet not even pondering how hooves can hold on to things.

Tender Care left the poor stallion to look for some potion to help with a troubled stomach but she quickly got interrupted by Spellslinger and Midnight coming in the medical wing.

Spellslinger quickly trotted to Tender "Aah Tender there you are do you know where Blueblood is?" Spellslinger asked but only got Tender care her pointing to the bathroom door where the smell of puke and sweat combined with disgusting tormented sounds came from.

Spellslinger sighed "What did he do this time."

Midnight looked nervous "Wow It smells like the our first combined drill with the solar guards in there." Midnight replied recalling some solar guard recruits wanting to attempt to follow the night guards their more sterner training causing many to overwork themselves and puke.

Tender Care smiled nervously at Midnight and Spellslinger as she held a potion. Then focused on her diagnosis spell that was still active. "Oh you're right I thought the poison or the double dosage of the potion to help him regain his strength was to blame." Tender Care said before she quickly wrote a scroll and send it to the Castle Staff to prepare Henry a fruit smoothie.

Midnight looked confused "Wait! In the hour and a half we weren't around Blueblood pushed him to far in training. I'm not sure if I should worry about his condition or his resolve to put himself through something like that." Midnight said slightly laughing.

Spellslinger have a stern gaze at Midnight"That isn't very nice Midnight. The poor stallion was poisoned and is still weak." Spellslinger said disapprovingly.

Tender Care interrupted "Well not weak anymore he actually went beyond regaining his strength from before the poisoning. He kept pushing himself so far I thought my diagnosis spell was being interfered with by what he was pulling. He still didn't explain what he did though." Tender replied.

Midnight laughed "Oh come on it can be that much of a change." Midnight replied jokingly.

While the mares were discussing amongst themselves Henry finally got done puking and cleaned his face quite clumsily and stepped out of the bathroom and went towards the three mares. Who quickly smelled his sweat and the slight odour coming from his mouth.

"You know I could hear you three in their damn headache makes me to sensitive to sounds." Henry said as he stared at the mares.

Spellslinger just looked at Henry with a disapproving gaze and asked in a disappointed tone "Blueblood what did you do this time? And don't forget we got your aunties and even your permission to keep you in check. So don't leave anything out."

Henry winced since previously only Midnight used to be hard on him.I must have really done something stupid if Spellslinger is being like this. Why does it feel worse if a cute pony is disappointed or disapproving. Henry thought.

Midnight looked compassionate at Henry" Sorry Bluey but you better just tell Spellslinger. She isn't pleasant to be around when he is like this." Midnight said apologetically before glancing at Spellslinger and then nervously looking away.

Henry looked worried at Midnight.
Wait did she just call me Bluey and what does she me Spellslinger isn't pleasant to be around. Henry thought worryingly.

"Blueblood! I'm waiting." Spellslinger said sounding like a stern teacher as her eyes bore into Henry making a chill crawl up his spine.

"Alright ... alright. I uhm took two of those potions that help with muscle and magical strength regrowth and I sorta used magic to put extra strain on my muscles and then thought of the process that normally repairs it that results in the growth of muscle mass and strength. But I.... The potion was making me feel like my blood was going to boil so I manipulated the air around me using telekenetic magic. Since temperature is just vibrations intensity of particles so I might have used that to attempt to make the vibrations slow down making it colder. But I already had a headache of using magic but I forced my way through it and trained for a while I don't know I lost track of time. Then I had a little accident I felt a surge of energy coming from within me and shoot out of my horn affecting my spells which broke my concentration, resolve and strength. I couldn't force myself through on will alone and I well fell down and got brought here by Tender since I didn't feel to well." Henry said sheepishly looking as he nervously drew a circle with his right hoof while his ears were flopped completely down.
I'm bucked. I'm freaking bucked Henry thought worryingly.

Spellslinger just stared at Henry still with a stern expression. "I don't even understand how you affected the temperature in the room but self altering magic is dangerous. Not to mention you said you only knew telekenises and your strange healing through your strange methods. So explain Blueblood and tell me why you tried something so dangerous and foolish." Spellslinger said sounding more worried then disappointed or stern. Blueblood could have killed himself with his stupid stunt. Didn't he think about the possible things that could go wrong. Permanent damage to certain muscles, Uuforseen side effects. Why is he even doing all of it. It's not like he will need any physical strength. Spellslinger pondered.

Tender Care beamed at the idea of hearing the principles behind Henry his alterations.

Henry looked at Spellslinger who just stared at him a stern and worried expression on her nuzzle. He looked towards Midnight who have the facial expression equivalent of "I am not going to meddle in this". His gaze fell on Tender Care and noticed her interested expression beaming to want to know what was behind how he trained. Henry calmly sighed and looked at Spellslinger straightening himself up which caught her off guard.

"I used telekenises magic on my body to ensure extra strain on my muscles while also thinking of the normal process of muscle growth. I rather not turn this into a lecture and it is normal conditions are explained in the scrolls I wrote for Tender. I thought of process and how it normally goes when someone is sleeping after heavy workouts. I combined that method with the dual dosage of the potion ment to help regain magical and physical strength. Pitting both my magic and muscles against eachother in my weakened state seemed logical. But when the side effects of the potion being an unpleasant desert like heat to tormenting heat that feels like my blood was going to boil came up. I had to cool myself off. I fought through the headache and muscle ache. So to I wondered if telekenises is able to affect smaller objects like atoms and particles or atleast their vibrations. Which is the basis of well temperature. But don't ask me how it works in detail. I don't know everything in detail." Henry said trying to put on a strong front but his exhaustion was making him more emotional.

"But why? Why do something like that to yourself? Don't you know the risks that such use of magic has?" Spellslinger asked her stern expression completely faded replaced with a sad teary eyed expression wonder why anypony would do such dangerous self torturing methods of training.

"I do know the risks I take. I'm inexperienced in magic. I only applied to context of things I understand and use will and concentration to execute it. And it's terrifying what it can do. But to answer why it's quite simple. I'm preparing. I can not risk the possibility of my aunties not agreeing to aid me with my plan surrounding Dartmoor revitalisation to threaten the lives of others. Nor can I just sit idly and do nothing if they agree to help me. For I know what turmoil and corruption breeds all to well. And Equestria might be peaceful and harmonious. But I know the alternatives. Not just from my own poison induced experience. And I know how to manipulate, play somepony like a fiddle and how corruption spreads. The creature I was in my poison induced dream had a lot of history and knowledge with tactics I can use. As to the manipulation of others it's something I despise with a passion because of past application within the poison Induced state. But when it comes to those tactics and methods I know how far I can go and how just the right application can make somepony their lives to fall apart or be enriched as I said before that second lesson isn't something I want to discuss with anypony." Henry said calmly.

Spellslinger was left speechless looking at Henry in shock.

"You said you know how to break somepony their life apart. Are you speaking of experience?" Midnight asked worryingly. This woke Spellslinger from her shock causing her to look at Henry wearily.

Henry nodded"I've made mistakes in that poison induced experience. Intellect plus emotions don't always mix well. In the poison induced experience, I had a friend young colt we were both in school. My friend had an affliction brittle bone syndrome. Now I mostly got along with everypony quiet reserved but not everypony was nice to my friend. Let's just say to but it bluntly another older colt picked on him and my friend knowing me knew I am a hot head. Well the colt that picked on my friend one day beat him this was the first and last time. My friend his bones were weak and easily broke as I stated brittle bones. I sadly arrived to late to prevent that friend from getting hurt. So being the overprotective hothead I was I beat that idiot into submission caused a few to be wary of me since the kind silent types are the last you expect to lose their well cool. But I was still angry my friend had to go to the hospital. Now as I said intelligence and emotions don't always mix well. I don't know how to precisely describe what I did to make you two understand the situation but I can tell you the results of my actions. The parents of the one who harmed my friend split up. His father lost his job and he himself had to change school's. I look back and regret my actions that lead to it but I afterwards mostly used my knowledge to help and enrich others lives." Henry said somberly. I'm not going more into this. But if they only knew how frail someone's life can be. I don't think I could even start explaining technology, Rootkits and voice recordings. Still I shouldn't have gone as far as to ruin someone's lively hood and relationship out of anger. Information and technology can both break and make lives. Henry reminisced looking back in shame.

Midnight and Spellslinger looked in shock and noticed the regret on Henry his expression. "How could a young colt do so much damage?" Spellslinger asked.

"Same like Midnight was probably planning with me find some secrets or dirt on somepony. Except with me I turned their means of communication and alot of their home appliances which have no Equestrian alternative into my eyes and ears. Reading their scrolls , hearing and storing their verbal communication. Which included drunk rambling with their friends and things said behind closed doors. And turned it against them. It took a while but I was precise and patient. I regret it but it did make me sober up and excersise some control on my actions." Henry said looking down in shame

Spellslinger looked confused at Henry "How does one store sound?" She asked.

"Of all you could take out of this you ask that. You know what nope not going to explain it ask Tender Care if she read the notes in detail she should know. I really need to lay down." Henry said as he trotted to a bed in the medical wing and layed down letting his exhausted body rest as he tried to ignore the mild headache.

Midnight just laughed at the irony that Henry just like her would gather information on somepony for their own means.

Spellslinger looked at Midnight. "Whats so funny?" Spellslinger asked confused.

Midnight laughed and then spoke. "It's funny that Blueblood in his poison Induced state had similar thought's on how to deal with somepony. Oh the irony"

Spellslinger looked embarrassed since she also looked into Blueblood his notes and spied on him mostly to keep him out of trouble but she still did spy on somepony.
"Still Tender Care did something in Blueblood his notes cover sound? I still don't understand how noises could be copied like words a quil."

Tender Care just looked at Spellslinger "Well sound is vibrating air that vibrating air goes within our ears to a sensory organ thus letting us hear sound. But don't ask me how somepony would get a recorder on the go. Or how somepony would carry enough vinyl records to do so."

Henry laughed "Right right you lot have vinyl records I completely forgot. It's a more primitive method of storing vibrations in the air but it's a nice novelty. Still how you can have hot air balloons vinyl records and DJ equipment but not have other basic understandings of fundamental concepts is bewildering. You probably relied on magic a lot." Henry stated

Spellslinger looked confused "how would somepony else power a spell matrix to do certain tasks? Steam power can't be concentrated that much."

Henry now looked confused "Spell matrix and steam power which is large and bulky. Oh sweet Celestia. You know what It can wait."

Suddenly a maid trotted into the medical wing with a vegetable and fruit smoothie.
"Did one of the guards train to hard again." The maid said jokingly as she trotted in.

Henry just laughs "No guard. Just pushed myself to hard during rehabilitation after my incident of a few two days ago." Henry said nonchalantly.

The maid looked confused but then laughed nervously as one of her colleagues talked about Henry his more kind and calmer attitude within the gardens but she didn't believe it her self"Oh sorry Blueblood I didn't mean to offend you, your highness." She said nervously.

Henry just smiled "it's alright, considering your response I must have been a real hoof full to deal with. I think it's also why Tender Care and my guards are quite adamant about my education and training since the incident. Maybe a form of petty revenge or desire that I become more then I was but the training was quite enjoyable" Henry lied as he have a smile to Tender and his guards who quickly played along.

Midnight just smiled and have a stern look of a drill sergeant "If you enjoyed that much maybe we should ramp up the training."

Tender quickly intervened "No no he is still recovering from the poison." Tender said as suddenly her diagnosis spell broke not fade but broke.

Spellslinger begrudgingly also played along "I think he needs to learn more about good manners for a noble and magic. But he will need to rest first. It feels like raising a foal all over again but this time with a few pieces of memory intact." She said looking at Henry hoping he'd get the hint about manners.

Henry just laughed and the maid seemed less nervous and left the smoothie "Well then your highness I wish you a speedy recovery you seem to be in good hooves" the maid said before leaving trying to make head or tail of the situation.

Spellslinger turned to Henry with a stern gaze "Why did you have us lie to a maid."

Henry took the smoothie and slowly drank it only stopping to speak. "Isn't it obvious? The ones who caused my little poison incident have ties within the castle so keeping them in the dark and spreading false information is key. Maid and the other servants of the castle are likely to talk with eachother we must be careful."

Midnight laughs "Says the pony who healed a cook and have the Head of the Royal guard advice for a joke."

Henry just downed the entire smoothie in one go and stood up slowly still feeling stiff and having a mild headache. "True but both were not to much to cause unwanted attention and remember having given Shiny some advice. Now considering the chance that the guards all look alike is really small I theorise there is some sort of magic in place to disguise them to ensure their identity is secret and hidden could one of you get a helmet and armour with a similar affect if that is the case." Henry stated.
I mean it's blatantly obvious that the guards can't all look alike there must be something causing it unless the entire guard is related which would be even more of a cluster fuck i don't wanna think about. Wait I thought fuck hmm no pony swears this time that is strange. Henry thought.

Midnight and Spellslinger looked at Henry in surprise.

"You sure you aren't remembering things Blueblood? The armour enchantments is something isn't something that is commonly discussed." Spellslinger said.

"Nope just simple deduction that lead to that revalation. Now can I get a set of armour that does the same but a different appearance?" Henry said bluntly.

Midnight smiled "I'll ask the Princesses." Midnight said before trotting off. Leaving Henry with Spellslinger and Tender Care.

Spellslinger sternly looked at Henry" Blueblood what are you planning?"

Henry just smirked "Nothing to special just preparing for Dartmoor. There are signs of corruption is apparent within the paperwork. And I stated beforehoof that I would act to deal with it before tomorrow it's sun rises. And act as a regent to my true identity. Thus I need a way to disguise myself. And I honestly do not think I want our unseen foe to expect something is up. I mean we only get one good start and we should ensure we have enough momentum to seem overpowering to our enemies and inspire hope within those affected by the corruption. The missing ponies reports makes the possibility of a slave driven diamond dog mine high or something akin to it. So we Will have to carry extra rations ,medical equipment and weaponry along just in case." Henry said calmly.

Spellslinger looked at Henry "You really thought of everything didn't you?"

Henry laughed a little as his eyes returned to a normal neutral pony expression. "Not really. If Midnight gets equipment I'll have to have to look for other guards which will suffice to handle the possible corruption. And aren't affected by our unknown foe responsible for the poisoning which only leaves Thestrals out of the list of possible enemies and of course my aunties and Shiny."

Spellslinger looked at Henry confused "What about Cadence? She is pretty nice? Or do you remember you two didn't get along."

Henry sighed "Cadence is a well difficult subject. I could ask her but honestly I'm happy I didn't run into her" Henry said noticing his headache was fading as was his exhaustion only stiffness remained in his muscles "Hmm strange it seems my headache and exhaustion is fading. Is that normal?"

Spellslinger looked at Henry utterly confused but Tender rushed at Henry and cast another diagnosis spell and looked confused.
"Your body is regaining it's strength rapidly as if your internal magic which is within every creature is actively aiding within the body. It's known to stabilize but this rate is unexpected. Considering you previously had a magical outburst while training it isn't something out of the norm."

Henry just cringed internally.Magic of course flipping magic. Would explain why if Tirek drains them of magic they become weakened but what about cold hard biological systems. Earth doesn't have magic. Ok out of personal experience some precognitive dreams which are unexplainable tend to happen but still how heavy do they really on magic. Wait wrong thought Auntie Luna and Tia move the sun and moon so I should ask what is magic. I know it transcends the laws of space and time. Heck even ones own dimension thanks to Starswill banishment of the sirens. Wait space and time are coordinates ugh but how should I approach time. If both worlds can interact should I approach it as a one system. I am in way over my head I should research I could approach it as two dimensions and work from there. Dimensions can be crossed with magic Starswill proofed it with the sirens but wasn't there also a mirror connecting both worlds afterwards or was it created as the bridge? Am I even labeling it correctly seeing it as Equestria it's reality as a different dimension. I am so going to need to go read a lot now well put to the mind aspect. Chrysalis did entrance or is going to entrance Shinning Armour at the Canterlot wedding if that hasn't passed yet. So if the magic can do that maybe oh I really need to revitalise Dartmoor for sure if it holds the possibility of returning home or atleast a way to understand what the hell happened to me. Henry thought not noticing Spellslinger was waving a hoof Infront of his face.

"Hello Blueblood you in there?" Spellslinger said waving her hoof infront of the stallion who seemed to be in his own little world.

"Yes. Sorry I was distracted by the limitless potential of magic and some knowledge I should not posses means to it. Starswill really threw my views time in a frenzy. As for other spells let's just say I'm even more motivated now for magical studies and the revitalisation of Dartmoor just become more important." Henry blurted out.

Spellslinger smiled "Well it's nice to see you motivated even if those spells are quite complex."

Canterlot Castle Lunar wing.

Midnight quickly rushed in Luna her private quarters where the princess of the Night was practicing modern speech into a mirror before she got interrupted and seemed slightly embarrassed.

Midnight quickly spoke "Sorry Princess but your nephew requested armour with a identity concealment spell the guards use."

Luna nodded and try to regain her royal composure "My sister and I have reviewed Blueblood his actions. And instead of looking at his actions as that of a modern confused stallion we looked at is as if he were a noble during the less peaceful times within our past. We've concluded that he would request such an armour to keep his approach of secrecy to undermine the foes that elude us any information so already had one prepared. But did not expect him to be foolish enough to ask for it so soon considering his weakened state." Luna said a bit strained as she attempts to adjust to modern speech.

Midnight smiled"Well you can add risk taking and driven to a fault to that way to view him. He forced himself through a rough excersise akin to guard training in result and used magic to enforce it. Don't ask me how Spellslinger did tell him it was stupid and risky because it was manipulation of one's own body through magic to some degree. I don't know much about it your highness I'm no unicorn or a doctor"

Luna seemed slightly irritated "Thou art pulling my tail. We should give our nephew a dire lecture about the dangers of experimentation with magic and the risks it entails." Luna said angrily her wings flaring up.

Midnight nodded "Your highness I do think he was aware of it. Spellslinger was about to explode but then your nephew distracted her worry fueled anger by the subject of storing sound."

Luna sighed "Seems our nephew can still evade trouble. As for thou request for armour for him it has already been prepared. My sister also foresaw our nephew would desire military aid and limit it to the Thestrals and night guard where he could so they will be expecting him. Thour news shows it might be sooner then even my sister and I anticipated but we have prepared. As for thour duty thou must still keep an eye on our nephew. We have convinced our sister to allow the armour to have a multiple enchantments on it both for his safety and so We can see what our nephew is up to. Thou can take the armour it's prepared in the armoury and return to thour duties. Since thee and thine colleague acted like school fillies within their first estrous cycle. Thou arnt forbidden to try and court our nephew. If thou can keep it from intervening with thine work."

Midnight bowed blushing slightly and left the Lunar wing of the Castle.
