Chapter 4: It's Good to be Conquering

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Magic lessons? hasn't Master already learned enough of tho- nevermind. he's somewhat behind in mind and memory spells.
it's subtle, but it's there.

"Alright, if I don't want to talk to anypony, and also see wolf again, then I know what to do."

while thumbing (though without hands) through book after book in the shelf at his apartment, he found an old spell book about the mind.

"Suits him right. Therapist, mind spell, it only makes sense. Now all I need to do is figure out how to enter, or well, share our thoughts."

then again. he flipped the pages of the literary text before him and found it. a spell that might work.

"Similar to dream spells... but it shall suffice."

His horn sparked. The bright light seemed to imply it worked. Forget the weird unicorn who crashed a bookshelf, forget everypony who bothered to speak. This will be the most important moment of his age-old life.
Then a long flash of light. The brightness settled down in a dark atmosphere where there was... a throne?
In front of that throne was a wide screen showing the entirety of Equestria and beyond. This can't be right.
Master was about to try again, and then he stopped himself, just in case. He tried to see if anyone was there.
He didn't hear anyone, however, he did hear chanting.

"All Hail Wolf."

"All Hail Wolf."

"All Hail Wolf."

"..."

He was in the right mind. This is clearly the one he's been looking for, and its not what he expected.

"What is this...?"

Then there was a response.

"Master, is it?"

Then he confirmed.

"How convenient." He said in an eerily tone, as he caressed his Fluttershy doll.

"Well, it's good to see you too, Wo- Dr. Wol-"

"You must be... Wondering."

"Whatever it is, I'll try to answer it."

"Where were you when I needed you most?"

"I... I escaped the library thanks to... Um, Camels of all things. Then I journeyed my way here."\

Then an awkward silence.

"Camels... are non-existent."

"Wait. Camels don't exist..? then that means..."

Lord Wolf lifts his palm to silence Master.

"But... how did I-"

"Now enough psycho-analysis, Do you want to know why this is what you see before you?"

"..."

"Well, it all occured to me today when a familiar face had entered Ponyville. Then it was everywhere."

"Isn't that what you... want? Don't you want to see me..?"

"I'm not your number one assistant, right? I'm not your apprentice. I'm not... Your friend."

"You're not... Wolf..?"

"No, I certainly am not."

The throne is rotated slowly to emphasize suspense, as a crooked and depressed looking wolf with a Fluttershy plush that he caressed, and a scarred eye as all equestria's ponies all chant:

"All Hail Wolf."

"I am Lord Wolf."

"Look, I've just discovered friendship. Something even my mentor, Starswirl the Bearded never knew. Maybe if we just talk, I might even sacrifice myself for you if I had to. We can compromise, and-"

"Then Perish."

"..."

"Oh, I apologize for inconveniencing you. Please leave, Or..."

"Or..?"

"I'll make you."

"But you can still be reformed.. You've learned more about friendship than I-"

"After all... It's good to be Conquering."

"..."

Lord Wolf pulls a small remote out of the openable stitch of his Fluttershy doll's back. He presses it.
Then... His transformation was being shown on the screen behind his enlarged throne, as he held on to the doll very tightly.
As if this room was getting hotter, like Dr. Wolf was nervous.

"Huh..?"

"I never understood why you did what you did... Master."

"This..."

"Why? Why did you? What were you looking for?... Who even are you...?"

"I... You may call me... Friend."

Lord Wolf smiles a bit.

"Thank you."

Mast- I mean, Friend, smiles back.

Everything goes white. Master awakens in the library again. Back hurting, neck twisted, but he's seen it before. He's seen it all before, and it was time that everything be fixed, started with more socializing and an apology.

"A redo. I wonder if Camels don't exist or not. If this all turns out right, then it's best to think my subconscious is trying to tell me something."

I also have no idea how he managed to think up such a thing which is also very accurate, considering he has no idea what was happening at all. Maybe weird logic. This probably concludes the story, I guess. Anyways Master goes over to Ponyville again using a similar path, but there were no Camels this time. Maybe they do exist, just didn't move here yet. Good morning Ponyville, Goodbye weird subconscious message, and Hello new, better reality.


Author's Note

Here you go. I know the chapters before were filler, but Eh, I tried. I guess to explain this unicorn magic did some magic stuff to Master's thoughts, I think? yeah, let's just go with that.

Edit 2: I fixed some stuff, because I thought, yes, while Dr. Wolf is the lectures guy, I think Lord Wolf would talk a lot less, and would probably only say short but meaningful phrases.
