Tainted blooms

“Pony, griffin, cow, wyrm, hmm,wwyyrrmm, yes, with some of that beast’s blood, I could free myself.” I mused to myself, I mean I got nothing better to do trapped in stone, “Yes, wyrm blood, oh, how rude of me, my name is Alastor Shiromori, or that is my name now, my original name was ironically, Shiro M. Ori, I was a human who was 8 foot 4 inches, my gender was… I cannot remember, but you don’t want to hear about that you want to hear how I got into this mess, don’t you?”

Well, I was going to fan-X 2020 in Utah as a hybrid of Shiromori, from the YouTube Series (the mystery skulls) and Alastor from (Hazbin Hotel). I was wearing a green dress coat with black pin stripes, the bottom edge of which was quite ragged, custom deer track print geta, and a blue-ish green Yukata, but I didn’t have shiromori’s pruning shears, I wandered around looking at shops and other cosplayers, then, I saw something out of the corner of my eye, and there they were, a perfect pair of Shiromori’s shears,

”how much for the shears?”I asked

“Sorry they aren’t for sale, unless, you want to get something else?” The man said, now this guy was committed, he was dressed up with a extremely professional cosplay of the duke from resident evil 8, “Perhaps this” he said as he brought out a perfect replica of Alastor’s cane, from Hazbin Hotel. “If you buy this, I’ll give you the shears for free.” He said, with a large smile, the fat rolls of his cheeks wobbled as he said, “or perhaps you would like something custom-made?” his eyes gleaming

“You know what I do want a custom piece. The craftsmanship of all these things I can see are extremely fine, but How are you at making sword canes?” I said, hoping he would answer.

“My dear Sir, sword canes are one of my many specialties.” he said with a pompous tone,

“In that case I would like you to make this.” I said as I handed him a piece of paper that I had sketched out the way the cane should look on.

“Hmm, shouldn’t be hard, I could have it ready for you in say 15 minutes, you pay me 20 bucks for it.” He said,

“Sounds like a deal to me, it seems to be a reasonable price, see you in 15 minutes then.” I said, before bumming around for about 15 minutes before coming back to his stand.

“Have a nice trip.” He said as he hands me The most exquisitely crafted cane I have ever seen, so exquisite in fact that I did not notice when I began to fall through the floor, next thing I know I’m being turned to stone, and that pretty much brings us to the present time, now, how to get that blood, oh, maybe I can..........Yes, I love shadow manipulation.”I said as I rip one of the wyrm’s wings off through its shadow, as the blood poured on to the stone, the stone began to hiss and crack, then all at once the stone melted like ice

“Now, I think We’ll go and settle down over here?” A maroon stallion said to the mare he was with, but at the site of me he trailed off.

“you do know it’s rude to stare?”I said, as I stretched out a kink in my back, and scratched my nose.

“Who who are you, and What are you doing in Whitetail Woods?” The mare questions,

“Whitetail Woods, hahahaha, that is what you are calling this place?, What a ridiculous name, Darling. This is the second most powerful leyline point on Equis!!!” I said, “What’s your names, my aerial equines?” I ask,

“Windy Whistles, and this big stallion is Bow Hothoof.” Windy answered,

“Well, are you two married?” I ask,

“Yes” Windy answered,

“And once again, like my husband asked, who are you?” Windy asked,

“Alastor, Shiromori The First, The Noble of Blood, as well as The Weeping Wood, which is the name of this forest, by the way, my dears, and The Lady of Everfree, pleased to make your acquaintance, ma’am and sir.” I said, with a bow to both of them.

“Wait, your The Lady of Everfree?“ Windy asks,

“Yes,“ I answered,

“What do you want with us?” Bow asks,

“Well, to answer that question I must have you answer one of my own, namely, do you and Windy have a new born daughter?“ I said,

“Yes” Bow answered,

“Is her name Rainbow Da...” I began to ask before being cut off by windy

“How do you know her name?” Windy demands,

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, but to answer your first question, I’m here to offer you my services as a godparent, to your child, if you accept then her and any of her friends will have my help when they’re in trouble, so is it a deal?” I said as the forest around us began to become more lively.

“What is the catch?” Bow asked.

“ I have to admit he’s smarter than he looks.” I mused to myself before answering. “When she is twenty three years old, she’ll have to come live with me for twelve years, ten months, and two weeks, then she can do whatever she wants to do.” I said as a large eleven tailed fox-like forest spirit came to me, and I began to scratch at its orange-ish bark-like hide, much to its appreciation, as its tails all began to wag. “Your answer?” I asked, now sitting so I could scratch behind my pet’s ears.

“I suppose that’s reasonable. Is that the only catch, or is there something else?” Windy said, as a feral nirik walked by her, and Bow.

“Well,there is one more thing, but that’s something to be discussed with your daughter, and not you.” I said, rather bluntly, as my pet walks away from us. “So am I her godparent or not, darlings?” I asked, once again, as the forest quieted so I could hear the answer.

“Okay, you can be the godparent, on one condition, if eitherof us is in trouble, you must come and help us. This is the one and only condition is this acceptable? they said,

“I have to admit you two are smart, and that’s an acceptable condition darling. So care to seal it with a handshake?” I said as I extended my hand.

“That is acceptable.” Bow said as he shakes my hand.

”You won’t regret this.”I said, as the forest came back to life around us.

After seeing them on their way I sat and began to attend to my Domain.

The deity of the Everfree

“Uhm girls, I have to tell you something, before we go in to the everfree.” Rainbow Dash said pausing for a moment, “This is my godparent’s Domain, their name is Alastor.”

“I was wondering When you would bring me up?” I said, as the foliage in front of them formed a door just on the edge of the Everfree, and I stepped out of it, before it collapsed back to normal.

“Alastor, as in Alastor Shiromori The First, The Sovereign of Bark and Blood!” Twilight exclaims,

“Oh, old Tia, remembers me I’m touched. Now I’m here to help my goddaughter, and as much as it leaves a bad taste in my mouths, all of you as well, so, let’s get going.” I said,

“But, Celestia said you were gone, she showed me your...” Twilight said, before cutting herself off,

“Let me guess darling, she showed you my cane? if so where is it? You know the deal without my cane, I’m not of much use to you.” I lied,

“Well, you see, I Don’t Know where it is, and think it was dismantled.” Twilight said,

“That doesn’t matter as long as you didn’t just lie to me, I can just call the pieces of it to myself.” I said, as I began to call the pieces, the first to come was the long bladed razor vine which slotted into the length of green-ish red stained wood which follows after and acts as the body of the cane, and finally came the Scarlet eyed Pomel, which slipped snuggly on the top of the cane. “Well, off we go.” I said, as I began to walk into my Forest. “Well, are you coming, Nightmare Moon isn’t going to defeat herself, darling.”

“How did you know that that is what we are here to do?” Twilight asked warily.

“Well My Woods are slowly dying, and I certainly know that AJ here wouldn’t ever be in my wood of her free will, if she wasn’t here to do something, because most of the apples have a undeserved bias for plants that grow by themselves.” I said,

“Now you listen here, plants taken care of themselves is unnatural.” Applejack said,

“No it’s not, she is the Lady of The Everfree and that is one of the only places where plants grow naturally.” Dash said.

“Oh, you’re just saying that to nag me, right?” AJ said jokingly,

“No” Dash said, solemnly,

“You two can argue whether or not plants growing by themselves is natural later, now can we please get a move on?” I said,

Apparently not, after a lot of arguing, I had to separate AJ, and Dash. AJ because she looked like she was about to crush every bone in Dash’s body, and Dash because she was trying to call Timberwolves, when we had just reached good olde Celly’s former home, My patience finally ran out, and I bound vines around them both.

“Alright my dears, I suppose you’re wondering, why I’m not taking either of your sides.” I said,

“Well, Why’d you just stop us and not take my side?” Dash asked, accusatorially, but a quick Stern look made her stop and listen.

“Because, you are both, right, and so extremely wrong.” I said Placidly, as I sagged, really letting my age show as the plant like tendrils, growths, buds, vines, bulbs, and phalanges that makeup my body look more brittle and frail.

“What do ya mean I’m right, an wrong. That can’t be true, because, I’m right!” AJ pridefully declared,

”NO, If You would just Listen! Put your stupid pride aside for a moment and listen to me, Tartarus, You’re as stubborn as your great grandmother!” I boomed as the foliage around us was going into a froth like we are at the center of a small hurricane “Hhm, please just, listen to me, Jacqueline please.” I said in a tired voice, “look AJ, plants grow on their own outside of the Everfree, it is just that Earth Ponies like you accelerate all plant growth around to the point that the soil gets depleted too quickly to be able to support any plants that are grown without the aid of Earth Pony Magic, and so you will never see any natural plant growth, because you have no control over your magic so it promotes unhealthy soil conditions for natural plants.” I said,

“What’d ya mean I can’t control my magic? I don’t have magic, do I?” AJ asked.

“That is a question for another time, but, I have done all I can do, fair well My little Poison Flower, and friends.” I said, as I wandered back into my forest, whistling.

Then I sat back and watched as the elements purified little Lulu, and Celestia showed up to congratulate her student. Then I heard Twilight tell Celestia that I had helped them get here, but, to my great relief did not tell Celestia about my little Poison Flower, ‘I will go and give a gift as thanks for protecting my goddaughter.’ I thought to myself as I left to greet the newest and one of the wisest equines to have entered My Woods, The Isangoma, Zecora .
