Zeldris Mindscape

“What’s going on?” I ask myself as I look around what seems to be a pitch-black world. There are no signs of life anywhere. Only darkness. I decide to fly around for who knows how long only to find nothing. “Is anyone there?” I yell out in frustration.

Nothing.

Suddenly a light peered through the darkness. Overcome with joy I fly to the light as quickly as I can. No matter how much I seem to fly I can’t reach it.

“Goddammit!” I yell as I dive towards the ground, hitting it as hard as I can trying to get some reaction. Sounds of cracking spread all of the darkness causing me to smile nervously. All at once, the darkness shatters to reveal my normal mindscape.

However, a tall black figure was standing in front of me. His body was hidden in the shadows but I could clearly see that his body was littered with weapons. Ten to be exact. Each one exuding power greater than Simon. The man walking towards me calmly places a hand on my shoulder.

All of my instincts told me to run. I haven’t felt that way… I haven’t felt mortal.. in a very long time. But my body didn’t move, it refused to move. The man raised his other hand and shoved it straight through my chest, causing me to puke up blood. After a few seconds, he pulled it back out and I fell to the floor.

As the man was walking away he said, “You are far too weak.” He sounded slightly disappointed… dissatisfied..

Real-world

Waking up in a cold sweat, I was extremely confused. I shook it off and made my way to the bathroom. Upon entering I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror. “What the hell happened?” I say as I run my finger through my hair. It was no longer spiky like an anime character, but instead, it was just down like a normal person. And another thing is that my broken hollow mask shrunk down and now looked like a thin choker.

Scratching my head I walk into the shower and turn the cold water on. “Hopefully it goes back to normal once I take this shower,” I say to myself as I run my hands through my hair.

While I’m the shower I thought about my waterbending. I had examined the scrolls last night before I went to bed so why not test it out now. I began to go through some of the motions and the shower water began to follow my lead. I realized that waterbending is all about the flow of your body. You have to be like a river, and go with the flow.

After a couple of times trying the basics of the basics, I managed to control a tiny water bubble around the size of my fist.
“It seems that my waterbending is successful, that means that I am now able to use chakra,” I said quietly to myself, as I did a small fist pump when an idea popped into my head. “I don’t know if it’s the same, but here we go! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!” I yelled out weaving hand signs as I said it.

Nothing happened sadly.

After cleaning myself up and drying myself off, I make my way back to the mirror. My hair was still down. It doesn’t really bother me too much though. Since it’s down I styled it in a way that made me look decent. And while I was doing so I was changing the shape of my demon mark to see if I could match it with my hair. Since I was just thinking about Naruto I decided to make a diamond-shaped mark in the center of my forehead and it just looked right.

With that I decide to focus my darkness there, like Tsunade with her chakra. In doing my pitch black eyes reverted to my silver ones that I haven’t seen since I became Zeldris. Because I was changing up my look I kept them as silver instead of black and changed into my yukata, with my zanpakuto hook comfortably on my side.

“Hey what can I say, I’m feelin different today.” I said as I made my way down to the dining hall to get some food.

(3rd POV Ponyville)

In the Carousel Boutique, Rarity was working on a suit by Princess Celestia’s request for one of her guards. His name was Sol Castellio, a small, timid day guard that she often chats with when she has time between court.

Of course the gossip queen herself has heard of the pony from her friends in Chanterlot and she couldn’t help but think about the princess' relationship with the guard. “How scandalous!” She shouted to herself while working. That’s when she heard the bell ring from the front.

“Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique and magnifique~” Rarity said as she paused her work and walked to the front.

Opening the door to the front she spoke, “Hello darling, and what may I do for you today-” she stopped abruptly as she gazed upon one of the handsomest ponies she’s ever seen.

He has the same color fur as Rarity, his mane was a beautiful maroon color and he had crystal clear yellow eyes. “Ah yes, it seems I have came to the right place!” He said in a very chipper tone as he brushed off his coat. He wore a silver trench coat with a white dress shirt under it, and matching silver slacks. Ah he was also a Pegasus with very peculiar wing placement. As Rarity looked over his form she couldn’t help but think of hw this mysterious ponies' wings were not in the middle of his back, but instead were on his waist. Just like Simon.

“Well it seems so!” Rarity replied in snapping out of her trance. “And how may I help you… Mr…?”

“Oh forgive me, my name is Zuriel.” He said with a slight bow.

“Zuriel, what a peculiar name… very unique.” She stuck out her hand which Zuriel grabbed and kissed softly. “A gentleman as well. It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Rarity.” She also did a courtesy bow. “Now, what can I help you with?”

Zuriel reaches into his coat pocket and grabs a sheet of paper, then hands it to Rarity. “I was wondering if you could make me this. As I’m sure you can see it’s a—” the Pegasus was cut off as the door opened followed up with the bell chiming.

Out from behind the door walked in Zeldris.

(Zeldris POV)

“Well now, I must have come at a bad time.” I said as a make my way in. As I walk in I notice an unfamiliar pony and the strange thing is, is that he had no reaction. Most ponies would have been afraid, disgusted, or confused, however he is none of those. Looking him over I don’t sense any power from him at all which is another strange thing.

“Oh not at all,” Rarity spoke and brought me back to reality. “I was just talking to my new acquaintance here, Mr. Zuriel.” She said as he made a gesture towards the Pegasus. “We were just talking—”

“About a request of mine.” Zuriel cut her off. “Now who might you be?” He said as our eyes met. In his eyes laid the symbol of the goddess clan. But in a blink it vanished. Before I could bring it up Rarity spoke.

“This is Zeldris, who has changed his hairdo… which I am not feeling. Give me one second darling.” She spoke as she walked over towards me. She grabbed my arm a dragged me over to the chair.

“Unhand me woman!” I shouted, to no affect.

15 minutes later

After a while she finally stopped styling my hair until she was satisfied. My hair still wasn’t spiked but instead it was down and she cut it shorter. I actually liked how it looked. Because I changed my hair again I just changed my Desmond mark back to it’s normal sigil and let the darkness envelop my eyes again.

While I was busy looking at myself in Zuriel and Rarity wrapped up their conversation and they said their goodbyes. He walked out of the door and I quickly followed him. “I’ll be right back.” I said as I passed by Rarity.

When I got outside he was standing there with his hands behind his back waiting for me. I went to grab his shoulder but he disappeared before I could touch him.

“Disgusting demon.” He said from behind me. I turned around to see him with a smile on his face looking at me. All of a sudden wings bursted out of his back causing a strong gust of wind in all directions, pushing me back slightly. He now had six wings in total. And he grew to be the size of Celestia. What I saw before was true He had the eye of the goddess clan.

I went to draw my zanpakuto but as soon as I did, I couldn’t believe what I saw. He was holding my hand which held my zanpakuto. Looking down my hand was gone. “Well then.” I spoke softly as I recalled my hand to me.

The angel sighed. “I didn’t want us to meet like this but oh well, I’ll let you off for today as I’m in a particularly good mood.” In less than a second we were face to face. With a sneer he said “Until next time.” He then dissipated before my eyes.

I came to a hard stop causing the wind to blow from behind me. “What the fuck just happend?” I said with a confused look in my face.
