The Outcast

Zeus hears some noise coming from by the crumbling stone and turns his head to see if Galadriel is there and sees him standing next to it and asks in a boisterous tone, "Where in Tartarus have you been for the past several hours?! I explored every cavern around this mountain looking for you!"

I put the scythe down, chuckling nervously as I then sigh from exhaustion saying, "Apologies, Your Majesty. I was summoned by Mother Gaia and in order to get what I came for, I had to 'spend a little time with her, if you catch my meaning."

He hears that and bursts out laughing and slaps his thigh with his right hand hard, saying, "Gaia brought you before her, and demanded you to have sex with her?! Waaahahahahahaa! I am surprised that you are still alive after that experience, I was wondering what that quaking was about!" and devolves into a fit of laughter, slapping his thigh with his right hand while leaning forward as tears start flowing from his eyes from his laughter.

I look at the scythe lying on the ground in front of me and smile saying, "Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad because she reduced her size to match mine. Further details than that, you will just have to dream about, Your Majesty. I have the scythe, though I won't be killing the Titans anymore. I will tell all of you what I plan to do when we return."

Zeus nods his head, still chuckling at how Galadriel had sex with Gaia saying, "Alright then...let's be on our way back." then claps his hands together to send them back to the chamber containing the titans.

Back in the deepest part of Tartarus where the Titans are kept

When I find myself back inside the pit, standing beside the other two gods when Zeus claps his hands and returns my wings and horn to me. I then use my magic to hold the scythe so I can speak and think of a way to tell the gods my plan, thinking, 'If only there was a way to protect us from the titans' prying ears...' when another thought enters my mind, 'A shield protects, and in some of the human's fantasy shows and movies, there is a magic spell that can perform as a barrier to do that...but I need a barrier that would keep others from hearing what is said within.' then get an idea of what I could try and say, "Hmm...I wonder if this will work..." I focus on my magic while closing my eyes to concentrate when the gods start talking amongst themselves.

Hades sees a grin on Zeus's face and hears him chuckle a bit before letting out a mirthful sigh, saying, "What's so funny, brother?"

Zeus looks at his brother and chuckles again saying, "Oh I was just thinking of how amusing it was to hear that Galadriel had relations with Mother Gaia..." when he is then interrupted by his brother Hades.

Hades looks at Zeus with a shocked expression on his face while Poseidon doesn't seem bothered by it and says, "HE HAD SEX WITH MOTHER EARTH!? I'm surprised that he wasn't crushed due to the size difference!" and bends backward and leans his head back while laughing loudly.

Zeus continues on, saying, "He did and so was I, and as I was saying earlier...while they were busy, it caused a couple of locations around Earth to suffer some minor earth quakes."

Ignoring the rest of their conversation, I continue focusing on what I'm trying to do. Several seconds pass until I finally succeed in making a spell that will work and say, "Alright, I shall now prepare to tell you my plan for the titans and guardians locked away here." then cast the spell, creating a light blue barrier around me and the three gods. Wanting to test the barrier, I look at them and say, "I am going to test the barrier to see if it works, please inform me if you hear anything I say outside of it." I get a short nod from them and walk through the barrier, stopping a short way from it before turning around to face it. I then look at the gods inside and use my normal voice saying, "Can you three hear what I say?" and watch as they shake their heads side to side. Wanting to test its strength, I then amplify my voice as loud as I can and bellow, "CAN YOU THREE HEAR ME?" and watch as they all nod their heads, causing me to nod satisfactorily before heading back into the barrier. As I stop inside to stand before them, I ask, "Okay, how easily could you hear me the second time?"

Poseidon looks at the alicorn and says, "To us, it sounded louder than normal conversation, however, to a human, it would only be like a whisper."

I then nod again and say, "Okay, as long as we aren't too loud, the titans won't hear us." then take a breath before saying, "My plan for the titans have changed..." pausing a moment before saying, "I will no longer be killing them, since I plan to use the power of the scythe to greatly alter their bodies before stripping them of their power and banishing them all to Equestria so they can have a chance to learn from their mistakes."

Enraged at hearing this, Hades yells at him, "How dare you play me for a fool by telling me that false plan! I SHOULD SUSPEND YOU BETWEEN TWO POLES AND HAVE BUZZARDS FEAST ON YOUR FLESH FOR ETERNITY!"

I then look at Hades and say, "I was not lying to you, Your Majesty. The plan changed when I met Mother Earth, as she was angered at my desire to end their lives. As I was trying to come up with a reply,I then remembered that I earned my cutie mark and then looked back to see what it was. I saw a black and white Ying and Yang with a thin, grey line between the two sides and understood what they meant immediately. So an idea started to come to my mind as I began talking about the tedious balance between good and evil, and how they are neither one but still endanger it due to their strength and power, and how quick they were to anger. I then told her as I was reminded of the balance, I could spare their lives without killing them and that they could not remained locked away anywhere near the realm of man. When she asked where they should go, I was distracted by her appearance for a bit before she brought me out of my stare which I immediately apologized to her for my rudeness. I then said to her that if I were to send them to where I was before, I would need a way to change them if they are to pose no threat to the balance. She then agreed to my request with the condition that I mate with her, and you know what happened after that." I then clear my throat and say, "So Your Majesties, what are your thoughts about my newest plan?"

The three brothers take a few minutes to think the plan over when the next brother to speak up is Hades, as he glares at the alicorn with fire in his eyes and shouts, "I HATE THIS PLAN! THOSE VILE CRETINS DESPISE US FOR OVERTHROWING THEIR RULE, LET THEM STAY IN TARTARUS TO ROT!"

Poseidon looks at his brother as he shakes his head, then shrugs his shoulders, and crosses his arms saying, "I have no problems with this plan, do you Zeus?"

Zeus runs his fingers through his white beard, but has a smile on his face and says, "I like the plan. It removes the responsibility we have of ensuring they don't break free of their bonds and attack Earth or Olympus." He then looks at him and shrugs his shoulders saying, "I'm sorry that you didn't get your way brother, but the majority says we go along with the plan."

Hades huffs angrily saying, "Whenever we have to make a decision together, I always end up getting shafted."

I then nod and dispel the barrier, then make my way down to where the Titans are chained to the walls and call out to them all saying, "Hear me, all of you titans that are chained to the wall, imprisoned here and left to suffer forever for whatever reasons the gods had at the time. I offer you the chance to be free to live your lives peacefully on another world at the cost of retaining only a very small fraction of your powers and your current forms, never to be reclaimed again so you can attempt to learn from the mortals you have looked down on. When I stand near you, tell me if you accept my offer, refuse it, or need more time to think."

A female titan sits with her back against the wall, holding her knees to her chest with her head slumped forward when she smells the strange creature standing before her and weakly lifts her head to look at them.

I watch as the female titan raises her head, opening her eyes to look at me and reveals a pair of glowing green eyes and ask, "What will your answer be?"

She slowly blinks for a moment and then opens her mouth, attempting to speak when her voice cracks and comes out hoarse after the immeasurable millennia of being imprisoned, sounding deep, but fairly feminine, saying slowly, "I......accept."

I nod my head and then raise the scythe into the air, concentrating on my ability as I straighten my posture and look up at the weakened titan saying, "Once high and mighty creature ruling over the mortal masses you looked down on, suffering for your poor choices and locked away in the bowels of the earth. Fortune and Karma have both frowned upon you, in spite of what others think, I shall give you one chance to address your flaws. Should you fail to address them and remain villainous, I shall strip you of your remaining power and reduce you to having a mortal existence before ending your life." With my ability fully powering the scythe, I look at her and ask, "Do you understand what I have just said?"

The titan trembles a little at seeing the power reflected through his stance, making his eyes glow a bright yellowish-gold color and nods her head in return. Slowly, she stops hugging her legs and raises her arms into the air with the palms upward saying in a trembling voice, "I do...please show me your mercy."

I then say, "Very well, on your knees, titan." and watch as the titan then lifts her right foot and moves it underneath her, followed shortly by doing the same with her left foot. The titan then grunts with effort as she pushes herself upward and then bows her head to me, obeying my every word of her own will and then raise the scythe saying, "This may hurt a bit when I strike you, but you will know when the change begins as your whole body feels an excruciating, mind-numbing pain." then swing the scythe at her abdomen, opening up a fairly deep gash on her pale, grey skin.

She winces weakly at the pain, but immediately feels a great deal of power rushing into her body, completely consuming it when her body starts to feel like it is melting away. As the pain grows to an unbearable level, she takes a breath and lets out a shrill, ear-shattering scream of utter agony as her arms instinctively wrap around her stomach.

Ignoring her screams, I look up to the platform and raise my voice above hers and call out, "It has begun, great gods of Olympus, please release this one's chains so the transformation can progress."

Together, with Hades hesitantly going along with the request, they all channel their powers and remove the heavy chains from around the female titan's hands and feet, then continue to watch the titan intently.

I watch as the heavy chains fall from her wrists and strike the wall with a loud, rattling clunk. Moments later, I see her body begin to shimmer and twitch before slowly going into violent convulsions. The titan's body collapses to the ground on her right side as she curls up involuntarily, then straightens out and thrashes when her head starts to elongate. Her mouth then changes and forms three different lobes that come together like a crane grapple, four eyes emerge from the upper part of her head with two eyes on either side of her lobed mouth. The skin around her mouth turns pink with red, jagged lines going back from her eyes, then her red hair falls off from the top part of her head and begins growing in around her neck in a thick mane. I then watch as her skin turns purple and her body begins to lengthen with her arms losing their mobility as they are pulled against the body, then her legs and feet grow together to form part of a tail with her toes growing longer and merging to form the remainder of the tail. A vane of red fur grows in at the top of her tail, ending at the tip.

She quiets down when the pain begins to ebb away from her body as she then tries to sit up, quickly learning that she has lost her arms and legs. At learning this, she then looks at the being before her and goes to ask him a question, which comes out as a series of hisses.

I then look at her new body saying, "You have become a Tatzlwurm, meaning you have lost all your limbs and the ability to form any coherent words. You shall be sent to your new world shortly, after you arrive, find something that will make you happy in life." I then look up at the platform and say, "Gods of Olympus, please send this being on her way."

The former titan looks up at the gods, feeling slightly sad about losing her former body as they raise their right arms and channel their powers towards the ground in a bright ball of multicolored light. Following the ball to the ground with her eyes, she watches as it strikes and forms a shining blue portal big enough for her to pass through.

I then tilt my head towards the portal saying, "Now you must learn how to control your new body to get to your new home."

Sensing new muscles throughout her body, she begins to test them out to learn how to move. It takes a while for her to get the hang of crawling on the ground, nearly tying herself into a knot a couple of times, but eventually does learn how to pull herself along.

I watch as she creates loops with her incredibly long body to pull herself towards the portal, and passes through it a few minutes later. I look away after the portal disappears, averting my eyes to look at the other titans in the room asking, "Who else will accept my offer?" I see the other titans looking at me with eager eyes, making a slight smile cross my face as they all say they will take my offer.

Cronus watches as one by one, every titan trapped with him accepts the deal and is changed into various creatures such as Quarray Eels, a couple of Ursa Majors, a Chimera, something weird called a Tri-Horned Bunyip, and a freaky creature called an Ophiotaurus. He then looks at the alicorn that changed and freed the others asking in his deep, gravely tone, "I...accept...your...offer. Please...let me...be...with...my brothers...and sisters."

I then walk towards him and say, "Very well." then close my eyes and focus on my ability. Opening my eyes moments later, I stand tall before the final titan and call out, "Hear me, old one, for your wrongs are many. You coveted power and squandered it wastefully, not using it how it was meant to be! You will have just one chance to correct your flaws and find happiness, should you strive to conquer and dominate...I will search for you and eternally end your soul." I then feel my ability funnel into the scythe and narrow my eyes at him then ask, "Do you understand the words and warning I have said to you, Cronus?"

He looks at the alicorn and blinks slowly, then says in his deep, slow voice, "Yes...I understand...I obey."

I nod my head and then say, "Okay. I'm sure you heard me telling the others that this will hurt, do I need to say the same words to you?"

Cronus's corner of his mouth raises ever so slightly as he says in a slightly humorous tone, "No...I understand. There...will...be...much pain. I will...accept...all pain...if it...means...I rejoin...the others."

I then raise the scythe higher and swing it across his belly, however, when the tip of the scythe touches the titan's skin, it is violently repulsed back. I nearly drop the scythe from the unexpected reaction when I then hear a slight whisper in my ear saying, 'Not...enough.'

The titan looks back at me expectantly as I try again, putting more force into my swing. The same thing happens again and I maintain my firm grip on the scythe handle as the same voice whispers, 'Need...more.' I then quietly ask, "More what? I don't understand."

I then narrow my eyes and put all my skills, strength, and magic into the swing. I am surprised with the force that repels my strike as it tears the scythe from my grip, sending it sliding on the dirt floor of the cavern when I hear the same voice whispering, "More...strength."

Confused, I turn my head around to look at the scythe, seeing it lying on the dirt, still feeling my power inside of it waiting to be used when my eyes are then drawn to my Cutie Mark. I look at it curiously while thinking of what it means to me as I hear Hades laughing from the platform in the background, jeering at my failed attempts and calling me a Failicorn. I then huff in annoyance and look up at the laughing god, narrowing my eyes at him as I think back on how gods seem to have all the power.

Zeus shakes his head when he looks over at his brother as he insults the alicorn, noticing how Galadriel stares at them all, then hears his brother suddenly shut up and look down at something with a look of surprise on his face. Looking back towards the alicorn, he sees a shimmering, angry aura start to appear around him and says softly, "Now this is interesting...this power is on the level that we used to destroy Atlantis."

Poseidon and Hades look to Zeus with surprise and shock on their faces saying in unison, "What!?"

(This next part starts happening inside Galadriel's mind, and he doesn't really understand what is happening)

I then continue thinking about how everything is balanced while looking up at the gods in gentle anger thinking, 'If everything exists in a balance, what balances them?' As I fume in silent contemplation, a stray image flashes to the forefront of my mind. Consisting of an ancient waterwheel, slowly rotating around a strong, hardwood shaft with small chains wrapped around various parts of it. Cocking my head in confusion, I am distracted by the image when I reach out to push it from my mind. The image moves away from me and drifts towards a tunnel as I continue to attempt to push it from my mind with my hooves, moving farther away and stopping frequently as if teasing me. I then reach out to push the image away with my hooves when they transform back into hands and turn them over and over in confusion, causing me to then look my whole body over as best I can and see that I am back into my humanoid angel form with black hair and wings with blood-red tips. A chime draws my attention back to the floating picture in the tunnel, reminding me to what I was trying to do when I was distracted by my body changing. I then reach out to touch the image quickly, causing it to start to race away from me down the tunnel. I attempt to use my wings to fly after it, but learn that they still are broken and resort to chasing after it. As I chase it through the never-ending tunnel, I hear whispers filter into my ears saying various things, "Everything is connected. It is fated to happen. Fate is a cruel mistress." I continue racing down the dark tunnel after the floating image as the whispers continue to filter past my ears when one whisper in particular catches my attention, causing me to stop chasing after it as it says, "Sometimes, I think that our lives are tied to Fate, and Fate is like a wheel that never stops turning. Though our choices can affect fate, the outcome is the same and ends with our death." I think on those words for a moment before I take a step towards the floating image, noticing how it waits just ahead of me a little ways and take a few more tentative steps. I stop just out of reach of the image as an idea of what to do forms in my mind as what I heard and saw earlier provide further hints, hesitantly taking a step as I think I understand what I have to do to change Cronus. I commit to the last step towards the floating image and then take it, discovering that the image is finally within reach. A smile comes to my face at finally being able to get the image out of my mind and touch the image and go to push it aside, when I finally understand what to do as the last piece of the idea falls into place.

Back in the cavern

I open my eyes to find myself looking up at the gods as I notice the shimmering aura around me and let out a content sigh saying quietly, "I understand what I must do now." I then close my eyes and start to search for any external power that would suffice for the completion of this spell, discovering the required power as threads connected to my former home before banishment, the realm where the demons reside, the realm of the gods on Olympus, and the realm that Hades rules over. I then take hold of those threads, but draw no power from them as I then open my eyes to look up at the gods and say, "I am going to try something different to be able to change Cronus, so you might sense a difference when I start. There is no need to be alarmed at what happens, because I will only take what I need for this to work."

All three gods look down at Galadriel in confusion as Poseidon curiously asks, "What are you taking."

With a smirk, I turn away and start heading back to Cronus saying, "You will see, I hope you will find this entertaining."

I then look up at Cronus saying, "The power I tried before was insufficient due to your...uniqueness. Therefore I shall try something else to change you before they can call forth a portal for you."

The titan slowly nods his head saying in his slow tone, "Thank...you."

I nod my head slightly and say, "You are welcome, old one." I then turn away and begin to channel my magic into my horn, amplifying my voice when I then use my ability along with it to increase its effect. I then think back to what the words were to that one song, beginning to draw upon the power belonging to the various realms as I begin singing.

Meanwhile, in Heaven

The grand creator sits upon his throne as he senses power being siphoned from heaven, making him curious as to what is causing it and follows the power being pulled from his realm. The pull guides his gaze into the realm where the greek god Hades rules over and into a deep chamber where a familiar white pony with a flowing, black mane and tail with feathered hooves and black wings held up by a few pieces of fabric. He looks on his child's progress and then smirks thinking, 'You've made progress, my son. I am proud to see you finally coming into your own, although you are interfering with my plans for mankind...again.' Moments later, he discovers power being pulled from three other realms as well and raises an eyebrow curiously, thinking, 'I wonder what you are up to with drawing power from other realms, so I shall watch for a while.'

Back in the cavern with Galadriel and the three gods

Zeus's eyes widen in amazement as he hears the song, sensing vibrations being felt in Olympus and turns to Hades and asks, "Brother, can you feel the power being drawn as well as the vibrations sent throughout your entire realm too?"

Hades looks back at him with surprise on his face and nods saying, "I can, and I can feel the Grand Creator's gaze upon this room. I think that he must be feeling the same thing as us. Just what is that alicorn doing, pulling upon the strength of our realms?"

He looks down at Galadriel and smirks saying, "I'm not sure, but this is very interesting. Ah...another's gaze is upon the room, from the demon's realm."

As the singing increases in intensity, they all watch as the alicorn's eyes begin to glow brightly while his body begins to take his original form. His wings hang limp and drag behind them as his black hair flows in a non-existent breeze, each step causes it to lightly bounce while he continues to draw power from their realms. When the next part of the song begins, his body begins to grow in height as power is drawn into his body.

The cavern slowly disappears from around him as the vast universe appears around those watching him, causing them to look around in confusion when they find themselves in physical representations for some of them. A slimy, red skinned, cloven-hooved creature with a spade tipped tail wielding a sinister looking pitchfork with sinners speared through their asses on each of the three prongs. A human form having a bushy, white beard with a skin consisting of ever-changing skin tones having a flowing, golden robe and sandals on his feet. They all look around at the vast emptiness of space before turning back to see the former angel bend down gracefully and picks up the scythe torn from his grip, causing it to slowly increase in size without missing a beat in his singing as they watch him. Stopping in the center of the chamber as the song reaches another brief pause, he looks up at them and lowers his voice slightly, as if having a one-sided conversation with them. They all notice something massive behind him, then focus on what they saw. As they turn their heads to get an idea of what they are looking at, they discover that it is a massive wheel with many, many chains attached to it as it slowly turns round and round clockwise. When they notice movement on the very edges of the wheel, they focus harder on it to see what appears like tiny ants crawling all over it. However, as they continue to watch, they learn that those are not ants...but the humanoid souls of every single being and creature in existence. Each one has a chain around their ankle, binding them to the slowly turning wheel. As they are reminded of the fact of how tiny they are compared to fate, they feel a shackle around each of their ankles, and remember that they too, are bound to the wheel and have been for a long time as their chains lead towards the inner parts of the wheel. Their eyes are drawn towards the center axis which has but a single soul bound to it, able to hear the distant crying of a human they recognize.

Zeus sighs sadly as he stares at the human female, saying, "Queen Hecuba..."

The song comes to an end as the vast universe around them fades to darkness, taking the vast wheel with it as the cavern returns around them with the former angel looking down upon them. The former angel then turns away from them and walks towards Cronus with the scythe in his hands, towering over the titan.

I look down upon Cronus as he looks like a child on the cusp of reaching his tenth birthday compared to my size, then pull the scythe behind me and swing it up over my back, then down upon Cronus's skull. The empowered scythe cuts right through the skull and the chains like butter, quickly reaching the end of his body. I then bring the scythe back and swiftly swing it at the remaining chains attaching his limbs to the wall, freeing each half of his body to fall in a separate direction. I turn around and take a few steps away, then turn around to watch the changes begin to overtake Cronus's body. To my surprise, there is no screaming as one half of the body shrinks and starts to take shape, forming a lower body belonging to a horse with an upper body being a combination of part bull and human. The other part shrinks as well and takes the two-legged shape of a body having a medium brown fur coat with feet having four toes on each foot and clawed hands, his head is like that of a male lion's and has a pair of bat-like wings on his back with a tail having a tuft of fur at the end. I then look at each creature curiously, and say, "It is done." then look over my shoulder at the three gods of Olympus, ignoring the unsettling sensation of eyes watching me and say, "Gods of Olympus, please open a portal to send them to their new home."

One of the halves of Cronus looks around, noticing the other one nearby before looking up at Galadriel's massive form and croaks out weakly, "W-What will my name be?"

I then look back at them as the other one voices the same question and say, "Hmm...interesting. So you both retained your abilities to speak...I shall name the one with a bull's head Tirek, and you with the lion's head and bat-like wings Scorpan. You two came from the same body, so that makes you brothers to each other."

As the Olympic gods open up a portal, two others add in a small bit of their own power as the Grand Creator looks upon his son saying, "I do not care for being reminded of my place in the universe. So I have meddled with the portal a bit and made it send them a few centuries into the future." He then lowers his voice to a mere whisper and starts to leave saying, "Welcome to godhood...son."

I sigh and say, "Now make your way through the portal to your new home." I watch while the two make their way towards the portal on shaky legs from the transformation then look at the chamber above saying, "Now please send in the guardians that used to watch over the titans so I can change them as well."

After the gods send the guardians in, it takes me a few minutes to change them all into hydras due to how many limbs they had. With the last of them gone through the portal, I look down upon the scythe and remove my power from it, seeing that the handle is made of four pieces. I begin to snap each of the pieces off the handle and toss one to the Grand Creator saying, "Here's a piece for you, father." then toss another to the devil, a third to Zeus, and the last to Hades.

The devil catches the piece and grins as the two pass through the portal, rubbing his hands together saying, "I too loathe you for reminding me of that blasted shackle, and I have punished you by adding a little surprise to their abilities." then fades away into the shadows to return to watching over hell and messing with the humans.

The Grand Creator catches his piece effortlessly, and says, "As for your interference with my plans, this will be the last time you will ever take your old form." and uses his powers on his son's body, ensuring that they activate a few moments after he leaves. With nothing further to add, he fades away into nothing without saying another word.

I sigh as the portal vanishes and look at the blade before snapping it in half, saying, "Please accept and keep this piece safe, Mother Gaia, as I will keep this piece safe." and drop one piece to the ground, watching as a crack opens up and swallows the piece before sealing shut without a trace a moment later. I feel the power forcing my body to revert back to my alicorn form, leaving me at my current size and then gaze down upon the three Greek gods saying, "Do any of you know how to make me smaller?"

The three look at each other and burst out laughing as Zeus says, "We do, but it's nothing that we can teach you, lad."

I then cock my head in confusion and ask, "Huh, why not?"

Poseidon chuckles and says, "That is true, we can't teach it to you because it is something you have to get a feel for."

I look at him and then say, "Can't you be any more helpful, Your Majesties."

Hades looks at the large Alicorn with an amused grin on his face as he says, "Yeah I wouldn't worry about starving to death or dying of thirst in Olympus or the Underworld. As for how to change your size, its definitely something you have to just sense and figure out for yourself."

I then sigh and groan from the unhelpful hints and clues saying, "Come on Your Majesties, throw me a bone here."

Zeus then sighs and says, "You can stop with the archaic Your Highness and Your Majesties now, you are a god just like the rest of us so just say Lords and Ladies when addressing us okay? Well, this was fun, I can't wait to see what happens next. Welcome to godhood, lad." then claps his hands and returns to Hades's throne room with a flash of lightning.

Poseidon then nods saying, "Since I'm not needed here at all, I will return to Olympus. Way to go on becoming a god, Galadriel, I shall see you again another time." and claps his hands to summon a geyser underneath of him, disappearing in the blink of an eye as the geyser stops with the water flowing back down into the hole.

Hades rolls his eyes at his brother's theatrics and says, "Such showoffs...come to the throne room when you figure out how to alter your size, my brother and I will be busy building the entrance of the prison. Good on you at becoming a god like us and causing a little mayhem for my enjoyment in the process, fare well." then bows graciously and disappears as a fiery explosion suddenly appears from under him, briefly filling the whole room with blue flames that fade and leave behind a lot of smoke.

I cough and splutter while waving my hoof in front of my face saying, "Ugh, they were no help at all...I wonder how long it will take me to figure out how to control my own size."

Persephone watches as Zeus and Hades begin working on the entrance to the new prison and calls out to them, "Hey, where is the father of my child? What did you two do with Galadriel?"

They both chuckle and smile as Hades says, "Why nothing dear, he is just fine. He is just having a little...size issue at the moment and will rejoin us when he gets himself sorted out."

She puts her hands on her hips and scowls at her husband asking, "And just what is that supposed to mean?"

He then looks at his wife and is unable to hold back a chuckle saying, "Well, my dear, why don't you make your way down to see him. The titans are all gone now as are their guardians so I removed the barrier barring the entrance to the pit, I'm sure he would be happy to receive a visit from you. Perhaps you could assist with his issue, that way he won't miss the birth of his child."

Persephone huffs and makes her way out of the throne room, crossing her arms over her chest saying, "Hmph, I will. You just better pray that you wake up to find me beside you tonight..." and storms off down the hall to go see what is going on.

I spend a few hours with my eyes closed, trying to understand what they meant by getting a feel for it when I hear the rhythmic clacks of a pair of stiletto heels and sigh happily saying, "Hello, Lady Persephone, could you perhaps offer some advice on a problem I'm having?"

She passes through the gateway into the vast a couple minutes after hearing her baby's father's voice and says, "Do you need me to give you a blowjob?"

I chuckle and wait for her to appear near the edge saying, "Although that sounds very tempting, I really doubt you could fit the tip in your mouth with how large I am now..."

Persephone rolls her eyes and keeps walking towards the edge saying, "Oh don't worry about that, if you have gotten thicker or longer, I will still find a way to stuff you all down my throat."

I then half chuckle and say, "We will definitely find out if that is true once you actually see what is going on..."

She makes her way to the edge, blinking her eyes and then looks down to find the alicorn's ginormous body looking up at her from the cavern floor as her eyes widen. Unable to believe what she is seeing, she heads down the stairs into the empty cavern and stands right next to the alicorn's massive left front foreleg and runs her hand along the feathering and asks, "What in Olympus happened to you!? Why are you so big?!"

After telling her what happened, I then sigh and say, "And those three wouldn't tell me how to change my size, then just left me here to figure it out on my own! Could you please help me out and tell me how to control my size?"

Persephone stops laughing at the story long enough to calmly say, "I'm sorry my young lord, but I don't have that ability. Although I can tell you that you have to really get a sense for what new powers lie within you, I can stay and keep you company while offering what advice I'm able to. Unfortunately, however, I can say that you are correct..." and looks back at his sheath that has a slit that she could actually crawl into, adding, "There is no way in Tartarus that you would ever fit inside me, in fact, I think if you came...you could fill up one of the pools on Mount Olympus."

I then smirk and say, "Once I get this size issue figured out and I am allowed to go there, we may have to actually try that."

She then laughs and says, "Oh we most definitely will, and I look forward to it if it ever comes to pass."

Several months later, in a room inside the Maternity chambers in Mount Olympus

Persephone bellows at her father saying, "I DEMAND THAT YOU PERMIT THE FATHER OF THESE TWO CHILDREN INSIDE OF ME TO BE PRESENT AND IN THE ROOM FOR THEIR BIRTH OR I WILL NEVER RETURN TO OLYMPUS AGAIN!"

Zeus grins and says, "Very well, my daughter, Galadriel may come to see the birth of my grandchildren. You are quite mean, angry, and demanding when you're pregnant, you know?"

She then hits him over the head with her fist saying, "OF COURSE I AM, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN CARRYING THESE TWO CHILDREN?? JUST OVER ELEVEN MONTHS!! I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GIVEN BIRTH EIGHT MONTHS AGO, SO FORGIVE ME IF I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THESE TWO LITTLE TURDS OUT OF ME!!"

He then rubs his head saying, "Oww..." and claps his hands to summon the alicorn to the room, causing said being to appear with a flash of light and a crack of thunder, with his coat burnt in a few places.

I cough a few times saying, "What...(cough)...was that...(cough)?" then look around a bit as my eyes adjust to the brightness of the place and ask, "Where the heck am I?"

Persephone smiles widely as she holds her arms out wide saying excitedly, "There he is! Come give me a hug, dear!"

I then hug her back, glancing down at her massively stretched out abdomen asking, "Is today finally the day that I get to meet my children for the first time, or are you going to get any bigger?"

She then looks back at him with venom in her gaze and says, "Oh it is definitely going to be today, even if I have to find a way to induce labor! I am big enough to almost have three or four babies, but the goddess I saw told me that it was only two babies! I have been carrying these two millstones inside me for the past eleven months, my feet and my back is trying to kill me, and I have to fight other gods and goddesses for food just to feed these two. Did you know that my father had to make this bed himself, just for my size?"

I then kiss her tenderly and say, "Don't worry, I'm sure that they will come when the time is right. Has your water broken yet?" No sooner than the words just leaving my mouth does her water break, soaking the bedsheets as water spills out onto the floor.

Persephone groans with relief saying, "Oh...FINALLY!" then looks at her father saying, "MAKE YOURSELF USEFULL AND GET SOMEONE HERE TO MOVE ME ALREADY!!"

I turn to look at him when Zeus disappears before I can spot him as he comes back with a few other goddesses in tow and says, "Please take her to where she needs to go."

The goddesses then usher us both out as they start rolling Persephone's bed out of the room and towards another part of the building while one of them says, "Lord Zeus, please wait in the waiting hall. Lord Galadriel, if you would please follow us to the birthing room."

As I come up along side the running goddesses, I'm practically being dragged down the corridors after Persephone clutches a handful of my flowing mane and holds it close to her saying, "I'm not leaving your side for a single second Lady Persephone."

A pair of double doors open for her group, she says, "Damn right your not leaving my side, I need someone to yell at through the pain."

I then cock my head and follow the bed as they push it into place and ask, "I will be here for however many hours this birthing takes."

One of the other goddesses giggles at what the stallion says and then ask, "Uhm, Lord Galadriel? What do you know about pregnancies and births regarding celestial beings?"

I then turn to look at her and say, "Unfortunately, not much ma'am. I do know the initial process, is the birthing progress similar to that of a humans?"

Persephone hears him and then seethes with rage saying, "Absolutely fucking not! I would ABSOLUTELY MURDER YOU if this birth lasts for nineteen fucking hours!!!"

The goddess then laughs and says, "Oh Tartarus no! Celestial births only last half that long, usually taking anywhere from three to six hours."

A strong contraction hits her as she wraps her arms around the alicorn's neck and squeezes it until the pain passes shouting, "CAN I PUSH YET?!"

One of the attending goddesses lays a sheet over her legs and then elevates them to aid the process saying, "Not yet, we have to finish prepping you first, but we will be starting soon."

I sit there beside Persephone for a while as she squeezes my neck whenever a contraction hits her when the time finally comes for her to start pushing, earning a relieved groan from her as she then starts to push the children out of her saying, "Just take two short breaths in and let them out at once, make sure to relax as much as you can."

Persephone then glares at him and says angrily, "If I relax any more, I'm going to soil the bed! This isn't my first childbirth you know!" then uses her muscles to give another squeeze.

The goddess ignores the pained groans and watches with her hands ready as a head with black hair slowly emerges, saying, "I see the head, and it has black hair and skin just like you, Lady Persephone." followed a minute later by a pair of shoulders. She supports the head as the torso quickly follows it, and moves to catch the rest of the infant's body when it suddenly pauses at the waist. She waits for the rest of the infant to come out, but it seems to be stuck and says, "The baby's almost out, but it seems to be caught at the waist, keep trying to push."

She glares towards the goddess between her legs and says, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" and then gives another push as she begins to perspire.

As Lady Persephone pushes, the goddess spots some white fur on the lower body as it starts to emerge and clears her throat saying, "I can also see fur on the lower half." but it is pulled back inside when she stops pushing and says, "No no, keep pushing Lady Persephone, there seems to be more yet to come."

I watch her as she lies on the bed, pushing even harder to get the infant out when her face flushes from the effort. As she tries to push a few more times, I hear her start to sob, claiming it's hopeless. I then pull my head from her grasp and look her in the eyes and glare at her saying, "If you give up now, your no better than the whore of Babylon."

Persephone's neck nearly snaps as she spins her head up to glare daggers at him as she clenches her fists and shouts, "DON'T YOU COMPARE ME TO THAT FUCKING BITCH!"

I then keep up the act and say, "If you are better than her, prove it! Prove it by using all your godly strength and pushing as hard as you can, then push even harder until you feel like you are about to pass out. Once you feel like you are about to pass out from pushing..." pausing for a moment before shouting, "THEN PUSH UNTIL YOU DO PASS THE FUCK OUT! IF YOU CAN'T BRING THIS CHILD INTO THE WORLD, WHAT GOOD ARE YOU AS A GODDESS!"

The goddess balks at hearing what he just said to her and thinks, 'Tartarus, he has some serious balls to say something like that to Hades's wife...'

Her vision turns red as rage fills her body and she takes a breath, then starts pushing with everything she has, shouting, "HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH A THING LIKE THAT TO ME, I AM HADES'S WIFE AND I WILL SHOW YOU A NEW WORLD OF HORRORS YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND!"

Ignoring the two screaming at each other, the goddess watches as the lower body starts to come out. The opening slowly stretches to three times the normal size as a large pair of second shoulders start to appear, making her turn her head and call out to one of the other minor goddesses in the room saying, "One of you come here and help me, this child is much bigger than normal children are."

Persephone doesn't hear what the goddess says as she then pauses to take another big breath, and continues to push when a pained scream is ripped from her throat as she feels her hips dislocate and how wide she is spreading. The pain begins to dull slightly as she looks at him, sweating profusely before shouting, "OH I HATE YOU FOR DOING THIS TO ME!! ONCE THIS CHILD IS OUT, I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!!" She then exhales and takes a new breath to push some more.

The goddesses support the child's large body as they see a pair of legs with the hooves of a horse, but their eyes go wide as there is still more to come and say, "Just what exactly is this infant?"

Their question is answered a few seconds later when the rest of the infant comes shooting out and topples over one of the goddesses as another stares at it in shock and awe while she holds her hands over her mouth saying quietly, "Impossible...this can't be real! Someone please pinch me so I can wake up and see the truth in this."

A few minutes later, in the waiting room

Zeus paces around the waiting rooms floor with many other gods and goddesses filling the stands, all anxiously waiting to hear the news of the birth. His pacing pauses when the faint crying of a newborn filters into the room, causing all conversation to cease as the cries signal happy news when the doors open. He looks towards the doors as one of the attending goddesses walks in with a tired sigh and lets them come to him and asks, "What is the news, my daughter?"

The attending goddess looks up at Zeus and smiles saying, "There was only a single child inside her and it has been born into our world, Lady Persephone is the proud mother to a healthy boy. What is surprising...is that the boy is a Centaur."

He then hears surprised gasps echo throughout the room as he looks at her in shock asking, "You are positive that the infant is a Centaur?"

She then bows her head saying, "We attendees have all saw the infant with our own eyes and didn't believe it at first, but the child is indeed an infant having black hair and tail with a upper body skin tone matching Lady Persephone's, and the lower body of a horse with a coat matching Lord Galadriel's."

Joyous cries fill the air as a wide smile crosses his lips as he pulls her into a hug and spins around in a circle, elated at being a grandfather again. He then sets her back down and asks, "Persephone is alright, isn't she?"

The attendant nods her head as a smile crosses her face saying, "She is just fine, although her pelvis became dislocated from pushing the rest of the infant out. Poor Lady Persephone passed out immediately afterwards, so she just needs time to recover after the birth. After we get her and the infant cleaned up, you may go see the infant." then leaves the hug and heads back to the room.

I then watch them as they clean and swaddle the infant centaur in a big blue blanket, then hand him over to me so they can clean Persephone up. I sit on my rear and hold my upper body up, using the wall for support and cradle my newborn son in my arms. I gently rock him to and fro while humming a lullaby to help him sleep.

It is dawn when Persephone wakes to find Galadriel leaning back against the wall with their child in his arms and realizes how large the baby is when one of the attending goddesses enters the room and asks, "How long was I asleep for?"

The attending smiles and says, "Oh, well you have been asleep for two days after thirteen hours of labor. Congratulations on becoming a mother to a baby centaur, everyone is absolutely thrilled at how you managed to bring their race out of extinction. All the goddesses are looking forward to having a little 'alone time' with the handsome, new god."

She attempts to sit up a few times, failing to succeed each time and groans as she feels the aches all over her body, saying, "The birthing took thirteen hours! That explains why I feel like I do, my legs even feel like noodles and my breasts feel like boulders."

The goddess then giggles softly and says, "Speaking of which, I believe it is time for you to start feeding your baby boy on your own without us helping you, he's quite a hungry boy."

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING BIT IS A TIMESKIP LIGHTLY COVERING A FEW EVENTS!

I spend the following few years with my son, making a trip to Olympus for a few weeks and enjoy the company of a few of the goddesses at a time before returning to Tartarus to continue working with Hades and Zeus on building the prison. After having a heated discussion with Persephone a decade and a half later, we reluctantly agree to let our child leave our care and fend for himself. We both visit him on the plains he calls home with his younger fellow brothers and sisters, and see that he built a small hut for himself. A year later, during a routine visit to Olympus I learn that he has taken one of his sisters as his wife, greatly angering me as I see it as perverse. It takes Persephone a few days to calm me down and make me understand that gods don't have to worry about deformities with clashing genes, as each god's genes will alter themselves to work together. Twenty years after that, Hades, Zeus and I finally complete the remaining parts of the prison as Hades and Zeus work together to help Cerberus have a pup, and start to teach it how to guard the new prison.

A couple of decades pass as I sit beside Hera, watching our two boys chase their sister around the courtyard merrily. I then sigh and look at her saying, "I still wake up scared from how difficult it was for you carrying the triplets in the latter part of your term, but the part that worried me most about that was how you passed out after delivering the second child. I had to tell the attendant to reach inside of you and feel for the back legs, then pull them out like a farmer would for a heifer during a difficult birth."

Hera blushes and looks away with her arms crossed over her chest saying, "I was also, but I still am mad that you had them treat me like livestock..."

I chuckle and then pull her face to look at me and say, "Awe, don't act like you hated every moment of the struggle...you massochist, I remember how insatiable you are during each and every pregnancy."

She refuses to comment on that due to it being true and instead says, "With how much action you are getting from every goddess in Olympus and Tartarus, I'm surprised that your member hasn't withered away and fallen off already."

I look at her grin and then say, "Well, you are partly to blame for me getting so much tail ever since that bet involving my first child with Persephone. Perhaps it would fall off if there are ever any more nymphos like Lady Artemis, that goddess is absolutely insatiable and it takes me two solid days of non-stop orgasms just to tire her out."

Hera snickers at knowing that, covering her giggling mouth with her hand as she says, "It is so amusing to watch you as you stumble out of her room in a confused state, I am still amazed that she has been able to produce twins each time she becomes pregnant. How many children do you have with her, is it sixteen?"

I scoff and say, "No...I have thirty children with her alone, and after she gives birth this year, I'm sure she will swiftly recover and drag me off to her room for another two days."

She then laughs and says, "You are going to learn to embrace the burn, Lord Galadriel. I have visited the Fates and had told me that triplets will become more common between me and you, also indirectly mentioning that you will be here for a long while."

Another two years pass as I sit inside Hades's throne room as a couple of mine and Persephone's chase each other around when a sudden crack of lighting draws my attention to the center of the room, blinding me briefly and wait for my vision to clear. As my vision clears up, I hear a coughing sound coming from on the floor and see the being that took me from my family. I swiftly order my children to go play somewhere else as my rage rises saying, "You..." and then take a few steps towards him saying, "You are going to pay for banishing me here you miserable wretch!"

Grogar then looks at the one who spoke to see that it is Galadriel standing before him and cackles maniacally saying with glee, "HAHA YOU STUPID PONY, I BEAT YOU, I BEAT YOU."

A smirk crawls onto my face as I then chuckle menacingly, saying, "You most certainly did that one time, but now you are here...with me." I then attempt to blast him with my magic, but he meets it with his own, channeling it through his horns.

Hades watches the fight briefly as neither makes progress against the other and scowls at knowing how that his friend was wronged by the talking blue goat known as Grogar and then claps his hands saying, "That is enough of that." He then looks down at the goat saying, "I have heard much about how wicked you were in the world above, so I shall let my friend and fellow god Galadriel dole out your punishment."

The goat scoffs at the one talking and says, "Pfff, no one is going to punish me because there is no pony stronger than me!" and tries to blast him to smithereens with his magic, but nothing happens which greatly confuses him, making him ask, "What the bucking hell is going on here, why won't my magic work?!"

I then chuckle and straighten my posture, then gaze down upon him and say, "Because you banished me to Tartarus, and the one who holds and controls all the power here is my fellow Lord Hades who just so happens to be sitting in his throne right there. He used his power to render yours useless, so now...you are at my mercy."

A chill runs up Grogar's spine as he starts to back away when the doors slam shut behind him, trapping him inside the room as he gulps nervously, saying, "I-I'm still not buying this, so if you let me go already, I will not cause you any harm."

I then bang my left front hoof on the floor as I laugh loudly, asking rhetorically, "You really think that you could harm any of us here under Hades's rule, oh how stupidly naive of you Grogar." I then stand tall and then focus on all of my abilities, then channel them into my horn saying in a booming voice, imbuing it with my will, saying, "Abusing your skills and the others, you have failed your own people that should have been protected. I know not what other foul deeds you have committed in the other world, but I vow to make them right...starting with you." I then focus my ability towards Grogar and chant, "O wretched creature set in your ways, heed thy words and lament your ways." then flick my head to the left to slice off his horns, making them fall to the ground as I walk forward continuing, "You heard my warning and deemed me crazed. Ignoring my mercy, you sought vengeance upon me. Your act against me has stripped me from my family. With each foul deed upon thy soul, watch as each one makes their toll." Then blast him in the chest with the spell, watching as he begins screaming out in pain.

Pain overwhelms Grogar's control of his body as he collapses to the ground, howling in pain as he bellows, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!!" and feels his balls being cut off of him slowly, screaming, "YOU SON OF A WHORE, YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS...YOU WILL PAY!!"

I ignore his screams and pick up the useless testicles in my magic and call outside the room saying, "Lady Persephone, could you please come to your husband's throne room? I have a couple offerings for you..."

Persephone enters the chamber with a happy skip in her step and then glances down at the screaming goat saying, "Oh shut up you stupid animal." before kicking it in the head to shut it up and then looks towards Galadriel who seems to be holding something behind his back and asks in a girlishly sweet voice, "You have offerings for little ol' me?"

I nod my head and then say, "I do indeed, I remember that you once said you have never tried Mountain Oysters before." and bring my hand in front of me with the large ball-sack in one hand saying, "Even though they did not come from a bull, this ball-sack is for you."

She then squeals with delight and jogs towards him and takes the ball-sack from his hand, holding it close to her chest saying with a gleeful voice, "Oh thank you for this treat, Lord Galadriel." then asks while walking her fingers up his neck, "Just what might your other offering be, hmm?"

I then look down at the goat saying, "That goat is my other offering to you, his name is Grogar. That is the one who banished me here and took me from my family, so I have castrated him and removed his ability to use any form of magic. I offer him to you as a plaything so you can enjoy whatever pleasure you desire."

Persephone dances in place, overjoyed at getting someone new to play with. She spins around on one stiletto heel, then walks over to the goat and summons a whip into her right hand. She raises the whip and swings it at Grogar's back legs, binding them together as she then starts to walk out of the room with a cheery skip in her step. As she drags him across the floor effortlessly, she looks over her shoulder and says with an eerie smile on her face, "I think I will go and...entertain myself for a while."

I then watch as she leaves the throne room as I hear Hades say, "You are ruthless as a god, I tip my crown to you." and smile as a peaceful feeling comes over my body.

A millennium passes by, chasing my son and daughter around Olympus when I call out, "When I catch you two, I'm going to make sure Uncle Zeus punishes you both for all the chaos you have been causing up here!" I then lose track of my children as they dart off in different directions as the disembodied voice of my daughter says, "Awe, but papa...it was only cheesy chaos."

I look around for where my daughter is hiding and then huff saying, "You two transformed all of Olympus into a cheese platter, and caused several buildings to collapse in on themselves and thusly trapping several gods and goddesses inside of them...including your mother and I! Zeus was absolutely furious with the stunt you two just pulled, now come here or I will paddle your draconequus bottoms blue!"

The son then turns invisible and floats near his fathers head saying, "Surely you won't do anything as cruel as that, we are your favorite children after all..." while using his magic to try to influence his father's mind.

I then seize my son with my magic and bring him before me, followed by his sister shortly after and say, "Your tricks don't work on me Discord and Cosmos, and though you are not my favorite children...I still love the both of you." and then kiss them both on the head before hauling them to face Zeus at the top of Olympus.

Zeus taps his foot angrily after getting the repairs done to his palace, looking down at his grandchildren saying, "Cosmos and Discord, you are not ten years old anymore! You're both getting close to adulthood and you are going to receive a just punishment from me at your father and mother's urging!" He then pauses a moment for the gravity of the situation to sink in for the two before adding, "It is with a heavy heart that I choose your punishment, and hereby banish you from Olympus and Tartarus...effective immediately." then opens up a portal leading to where the titans were sent once their bodies were changed.

Hera stands beside me, shedding a couple tears as we both hug and kiss our children goodbye for the last time, then watch as they both walk through the portal to their new home.

As several centuries pass by as I start to lose track of how many children I've had with the goddesses and even forget or confuse several of their names. I lie in a bed, sharing a pleasant night with one of the Olympian goddesses and sigh while looking up at the sunny sky saying, "We sure had a fun time last night, didn't we milady?"

She looks over her shoulder with a happy glow on her face as she snuggles further into her companion's warm body saying with a blissful sigh while rubbing her pregnant belly saying, "It sure was, I look forward to the day that I give birth to this child. I hope it is a centaur this time as I have not yet had one. Do you think it will be a centaur I give birth to, daddy?"

I am stunned at hearing her call me her father and shake my head to clear the confusion and ask, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you asked. Can you repeat what you said?"

She then rolls over onto her back, revealing her swollen stomach to him and gazes into his glowing, brilliant amber eyes saying, "Sure daddy, I was just asking what you thought our foal was going to be this time." and rubs her abdomen affectionately.

My eyes widen as I look upon her, seeing the hair upon her head matching my mane and tail's color, and having non-glowing amber eyes like mine with a humanoid body. My mind reels at hearing how I made my own daughter pregnant with my own seed, causing me to try to remember where things went so wrong as I ask, "Wh-whose daughter are you? W-What's your name?"

Angered at her own father forgetting her name, she gets up out of bed and puts her gown back on saying, "I am not a goddess, but my name is Cilanaia, daughter to you and Demeter. I am very disappointed to call you father for forgetting your own daughter's name." then pushes the doors open violently and storms out of the room on her bare, dainty feet.

I sit up in bed as I hear thunder in the distance, remembering the years after I paid Grogar back for what he did to me. I let my head hang down as I bemoan how I allowed myself to become complacent with my life as a god, feeling tears making their way down my face. Self-loathing begins to slowly fester deep inside me as I begin to think back on the sins I have committed during my time in Tartarus and Olympus.

Deep inside a cave near the base of Mount Olympus, three ancient sisters twist and weave the fates of mortals when they sense a storm brewing of godly proportions, causing them to stop what they are doing and start making their way out of the cave saying in unison, "The time has come."

Zeus looks around from his throne at the skies, wondering which god is responsible for this brewing storm. He then senses the power belonging to Galadriel and begins to stand up out of his throne to go question him when he sees the three beautiful, yet ancient Moirai sisters make their way to the throne, stopping just in front of it and asks them, "What brings you before me, ancient ones."

The younger sister looks up at Lord Zeus with her bright blue eyes and says, "The time has come..."

The middle sister lifts her head to look at him with eyes of the same color, continuing where the other left off saying, "For he who does not belong..."

The eldest then snaps her head up to Zeus and finishes the sentence saying, "To return from whence he previously came."

The younger then cocks her head to the left and says, "If he does not..."

The middle sister then does the same motion saying, "The balance will grow unstable..."

The eldest then repeats it and says, "And fall apart, taking all realms with it."

They then cock their heads to the right in unison as their eyes become stark white when they speak at the same time, "If the balance fails, the mortal realm will die, then all godly realms will die...followed by the destruction of the universe. For life itself cannot exist without balance, and the balance must be maintained at all costs."

Zeus waits for the fates to continue speaking as their eyes remain white and asks, "What must I do about the storm Galadriel is creating?"

They then blink in unison and speak together again, saying, "It shall affect only him, but it is necessary for his own preservation. Do nothing. Fix nothing. Change nothing. Everything shall be as it should, and a time may come when he will become whole once more. When he is whole, it will be safe to know, for he is the wandering god bound to no realm." They then stumble a bit as their eyes start to change back as they say some final words before snapping out of it, saying, "His last...day...has come."

He watches as other worried goddesses look at the Fates with sorrowful eyes as the skies grow darker, sighing and saying, "You heard what they have said, there is nothing we can do about the storm as it will not endanger us."

Demeter looks at her angered daughter as she storms up to her and asks, "What is the matter, sweetie? Did something happen between you and your father?"

Cilanaia huffs and says, "Father forgot my name and who my mother was, he even forgot that I was his daughter!"

She then pulls her pregnant daughter into a hug as she holds back tears saying, "Don't be so hard on him dear, for he has twelve thousand children between his firstborn daughters and us goddesses. In time, I'm sure that he will come to be able to remember them all and keep whose who straight." and lets out a gentle half-hearted giggle when tears slowly trickle down her face.

Sensing her mother's sadness, she pulls away and looks her in the eyes asking, "Mother, what's wrong, why are you crying?"

As my hatred of myself grows to the breaking point, I leave the room while walking aimlessly as I think of a way to punish myself. Before I realize it, I find myself on top of an unused set of stairs on a small platform close to the peak. I then look down as I hear the crashing of waves and am reminded of how I used my power to send the city of Saddlelantis into the bottom of the sea, causing a brief thought to pop into my head as it then changes into a singular desire. I then feel a wind starting to pick up, blowing my mane and tail off to my left as I consider how best to punish myself when a realization hits me. I then walk to the rocky outcropping overlooking the see and stand tall as I then gather all of the power within my body, ignoring the darkening skies surrounding Mount Olympus and channel my power through my words. Looking up to the skies, I then call up to the clouds saying, "I gaze down upon mineself and can't bear the sight of what I've let myself become. Seeing every wrong I have ever done to those I've met, I must make myself accountable and call upon thine wrath to smite this sinner!"

Zeus watches the sky from the balcony as lighting dances throughout the pitch-black clouds, noticing slight movement as they begin to slowly whirl around and gather speed. A few moments pass while they whirl around, creating a strong wind that causes a hole to open at the center of the whirling clouds when a light forms in the middle right above the very peak of Mount Olympus. The light soon grows too bright for him to look at as he averts his eyes when he hears a deafening crack in the sky, and slows down time to see what is happening. He sees a massive bolt of lightning slowly worming its way throughout the sky wildly at a slow pace, seeming to be searching for its target.

I blink for a moment and wait patiently for my punishment to arrive when a sudden bolt of lightning arcs in front of me and strikes me directly on my horn, causing me to feel utter agony for a split second before everything goes black around me.

The lightning strike sends the alicorn off the mountain top while creating a pure white statue in the same exact place with the same pose, looking exactly like the former angel's current appearance with a black mane and tail but having golden eyes without a cutie mark on its flank.

As Galadriel soars through the sky briefly in an unconscious state, residual power from the spell reinforces his body to protect it from the majority of the impact as he then slams into the tiled roof of Zeus's palace and goes right through it.

Zeus hears several shouts of fright as something crashes through his roof and makes a large crater in the center of his covered balcony. As the goddesses cry out the alicorn's name he snaps his head around and shouts to all of the gods and goddesses, saying, "THE FATES HAVE SPOKEN, REMAIN STILL AND DO NOTHING AND HEED THEIR WORDS."

It takes a lot of effort for everyone there to not rush forward to help their fellow god as Demeter and Hera keep Cilanaia from breaking free and hurrying towards her father as she cries out, "Please, I must go help him! He is the father of my child, let me go!"

With a sigh, he then summons forth a portal to send him into the top level of the prison near the door he and Hades secretly built, which leads directly to the world that Galadriel was originally banished to. As he sees the alicorn start to stir, he walks towards them and uses his powers to open the outer doors to the prison. When that is done, he calls a ball into existence and throws it through the portal yelling, "Go fetch Kerberus!"

Outside of the entrance to the prison, Kerberus sees the ball race away from him and then chases after it, barking wildly.

I slowly start to move my head around as my entire body aches for some reason, unable to remember what happened or even what my own name is. Able to only hear dull, formless murmurs, I try to get up and stumble several times as I look around. The world around me is dark as I am able to feel myself blink, albeit very slowly when I hear a whisper saying, "Light...follow the light." My vision slowly changes from black to a dark grey as I look for the source of it when I spot a greyish, shimmering blob I take to be light and start making my way towards it on wobbly legs.

Cilanaia reaches out for her father desperately as tears stream from her eyes causing her mascara to run down her cheeks wailing, "PAPA, DON'T LEAVE US BEHIND! PAPA!!"

Demeter and Hera both shed tears as well as Ares helps them restrain Cilanaia as Hera tries to soothe her saying, "Do-don't worry, child, f-for it must b-be this way..." then watch as the alicorn stumbles his way into the portal and disappears to the other side of it, causing their self-control to crumble away as they then wrap their arms around the child wailing for her papa to come back and cry with her.

Zeus blinks away the moisture that forms at the corners of his eyes and watches and closes the portal so that Galadriel can find the light shining into the dark prison from outside, and keeps a watchful eye on the weakened alicorn.

Finding myself in a pitch-black space again, I turn around and trip over my own hooves repeatedly as I look for any source of light to follow. After looking around for what feels like an eternity, I finally locate a blurry beam of light and head toward it. As I reach it, I bump into something cold, hard, and sturdy, then try to make my way around it when I brush up against something else on my right feeling much like the other thing. Continuing right past it and into the blurry light ahead of me, I begin to see blurry splotches of blue and different-colored splotches of green. Relieved to learn that I am not colorblind, I make my way towards the green splotches.

As Zeus watches the alicorn stumble less, he pulls the doors closed and reseals them before anyone can discover they've been opened saying, "Now, you are on your own out there lad, so be careful."

Equis senses a powerful being leaving Tartarus and recognizes it as the fallen angel Galadriel, then acts swiftly to stop the magical pulse sent out, happy at getting to meet him again. She reaches out and enters his mind, saying, 'Hello again, fallen one. I have missed you since your banishment, how are you feeling?'

I hear her voice in my mind and look around hastily, trying to locate the speaker asking, "You know me?"

She feels concerned for him and says to his mind, 'I do know you yes, but what happened?'

Unable to see anything much but splotches, I stop spinning as I start to feel dizzy and say, "I don't know, my mind is completely blank. When I woke up a little while ago, I couldn't see anything at all at first, could hear only dull mumbles, and was unable to even walk for a bit. I then heard a voice saying, 'follow the light' which led me here. Not only can I still not hear much, I'm still figuring out how to control my legs fully, and can only see blurry splotches of light and color. I can't see you, so could you please guide me?"

Equis leaves her cave in a disembodied form to get to him before a hostile creature makes a meal out of the helpless alicorn saying, 'You won't ever be able to see me as I have no physical body, but I will find a way to get you to notice me so please stay away from the splotchy green colors.'

I then stop moving and wait in the bright green splotchy area with blue splotches above me and ask, "Since I can't see much at all, how will I know it is you?"

She hurries through the forest as she considers her answer and then says, 'Since you can't see much without light, I will appear to you as a large mass of light. The creatures of this forest can't create pure, white like I can, so you can just follow me as I guide you through the dark woods of the Everfree Forest.'

A few minutes pass as I look in all directions to see the white light, finally seeing something shimmering from within the darker splotches of green I assume to be the forest she mentioned and call out to her saying, "Is that you there, coming towards me as a shimmering light?"

Equis reaches the edge of the forest and uses her disembodied voice, saying, "Yes Galadriel, that shimmering ball of blinding light before you at the edge of the trees is me." then does a little dance in the air saying, "Did you just see the light dance around just now?"

I nod and say, "I did, it is good to have someone to talk to, being even better since it is someone that knows who I am. Would you please guide me somewhere so I can rest and gather my strength?"

She then turns around to head back into the forest saying, "I do...yes, I know you can't really see, but try to stick as close to me as possible and be careful with your steps."

I then walk up to the floating light as it then makes its way into the dark splotches of brown and faint splotches of green, not moving faster than I can walk at the moment with being practically blind.

An hour passes as Equis guides Galadriel through the forest, taking only the smoothest path available to her when she hears a distant noise followed by a few barks and groans thinking, 'I thought we would be out of their path already...' then says, "You need to quickly follow behind a bush so that the pony running this way leading a creature back to where it belongs does not spot you."

I turn and follow her off the trail, then sneeze when my nose brushes against some leaves and ask, "Am I hidden from view yet?"

She extinguishes her light and then moves along the trail to check and then says to his mind, 'Just a couple steps further and turn your head to the right so you don't sneeze anymore, the last thing we need is that bookworm spotting you and all hell will break loose.'

I do as she says and then wait as I start to hear a distant rumbling as something runs towards my direction, listening as best I can for the sound to fade again before quietly asking, "Are they gone yet?"

Equis then looks and moves in front of his face saying, "Yes, let's get as far as we can before that pony comes back."

They make it half way into the forest when she hears a light trotting coming up behind them and leads him off the path quickly with an annoyed sigh saying to his mind once again, 'That pony can really cover a lot of ground when she is trying to get somewhere...'

I wait again for my guide to say it is safe again and follow her back to the path, asking, "Who was that pony?"

Equis then chuckles and says, "You will meet her when the time is right, I'm sure."

After reaching our destination, I watch as she stops shimmering and lie down where the light vanished and yawn tiredly, saying, "No creature but you visits this place right?"

She feels happy at having someone inside her home and then says, "Since you can't remember anything yet, I shall welcome you to my humble cave. That is correct unless I request them to, which is really never so just go on and get a good night's rest. I will have some food and water here for you in the morning though, so don't worry about going out to forage in the dangerous forest until you are fully recovered." Nearly forgetting about the lunar princess's nightly duties, she adds, "And if you should have any dreams tonight, I will do what I can to keep your door closed so that a certain mare doesn't learn of your presence here too early."

My eyes grow heavy as I then take a deep breath and let it out, relaxing completely and not really registering what she said at the end as I drift into a peaceful slumber.

Equis is overjoyed at having a guest over at her home and then uses some of her powers to ask a couple of timber wolves to gather some unharvested apples and fill one of the Apple family's tubs, then bring it to her cave along with a tub filled with water from the stream and thinks to herself, 'I am so glad to have someone from long ago, even though they don't remember me yet. I shall do what I can to help his body recover while he sleeps and hide his door from Luna's view.'
