Harmony fall, is it so bad?

“I told you three-eighth, not one-eighth!” Flam yelled at me from inside the car, throwing the crown key that he had given her earlier.

“Shut up and finish adjusting that shit!” I answered him while he threw the correct key at him, and luckily he managed to catch it with telekinesis.

“Crack”

“Damn, I told you this chain wouldn’t hold up!” Unfortunately, Flim was right and some of the links on the metal chain began to twist and stretch, leaving me with little choice.

“Ugh! I shit on everything that can be loaded.” Both brothers drooped their ears at my colorful choice of words, but I was already getting fed up with this infernal machinery.

“Crack”

Now if the chain couldn't hold up anymore

“Flam get out of there!” Flim was obviously the most worried

“Don't even think about moving your ass from that place, it took us more than 14 hours to get here!” I protested

“I'll gladly plow it, as soon as we secure this half-ton engine!” Flam released the key and began to move to get out of the danger zone

That was bad, the fall was not very long, and the engine was modified with parts brought directly from Knossos Land of the minotaurs, so they were of good quality, but even so, I did not doubt that that would be enough to damage the machinery, after everything, could still be considered a prototype

“Damn, I always have to do everything myself!” Letting out another round of curses, I snuck under the car to where the separation between the ground and the interior did not exist.

"You are crazy?! “It will crush you,” Flam warned me in alarm.

“BAM”

I didn't even have time to process his words when one of the links finally gave way and one of the halves of the chain shot out like a whip, almost hitting Flam by inches, meanwhile I felt as if Thor himself had hit me on the back with his hammer

I'm pretty sure I heard things thunder behind me, and things that definitely weren't supposed to move did.

“Finish, finish, finish!” I screamed desperately

Luckily, Flim and Flam were quick thinkers, and while Flam shook off his daze and re-engaged the engine with the rest of the vehicle, Flim picked up what was left of the chain and used a spell to weld it back together and levitate it up. The pulley to then wrap the engine and take off a substantial part of the infernal weight

The time that passed could not have been more than five minutes, but it seemed like an eternity.

“Almost there… Ready!” Flam shouted, removing the sweat from his forehead with a dirty cloth.

I collapsed at that moment, releasing all the weight on the car, which shook hard, but soon stabilized after rocking briefly.

“Well… at least we know that the suspension works” I didn't even bother to find out which of the two spoke, they both sound the same to me

I crawled out from under the car despite the constant pain in my back, not unlike being stabbed.

As I crawled over to an old couch and became one with those cushions, I saw both brothers take ice packs out of the freezer and put them on their heads. I decided to follow his example, but my crooked back didn't allow it, so I only had to use my telekinesis.

Once again, blessed magic

Unlike them, who took out the ice from inside, I opened a back hatch where a magical object called a frozen gem was kept, which is literally that. It seems funny to me that ponies who want ice and don't have a unicorn nearby have to go to the frozen north and mine to get these things

As soon as the gem made contact with my back, a sizzling sound was heard as a result of the clash of our magics.

It's interesting to say the least that if I walked into a freezer in my old world at -200°C, I wouldn't even notice it, but this simple gem can make me shudder just because it has some magic in it.

“So, which part should we continue with tomorrow?” I asked once I found the most comfortable position that was possible for me

To my surprise, they both looked at me strangely. “Do you want to work tomorrow?” Flam asked.

“That is unreasonable” Flim continued speaking.

“Labor exploitation” And Flam ended it

And I was confused. First of all, they were the ones who insisted on finishing the improvements as quickly as possible

Secondly, I'm the one being exploited here! They don't even let me use my wolves because they're scared of them, couple of girls.

“Why the change? So far they never complained.” I had to give them that, no matter how stressful or demanding the job was, they never called it a day without finishing whatever we started, which I respected.

Both brothers seemed surprised by my question until understanding appeared on Flim's face. “Brother, foreigners don't know the traditions.”

An “Ohhh” came out of Flam

Then, to my confusion, they both laughed and, as if the last few hours of grueling work had not passed, they stood up on their hind legs, leaning on each other, and announced “It's Nightmare nights!”

…

My face said it all “What the hell is Nightmare nights?”

Both brothers lost their balance and fell on their backs... I laughed

“Ha ha ha” I will never understand how these ponies became so sensitive to swearing. Luna told me that they were not like that in her time, and she did not say them, because she was taught that royalty should be nothing less than perfect and such barbaric language was not worthy of her.

“Make fun of it all you want, but tonight will be one you will remember.” I don't even care which one of them said that.

“And what exactly is this all about?” It wasn't until I saw the silly smile on both brothers' faces that I realized my mistake.

Flim and Flam proceeded to give me a dance with perfectly synchronized singing in which they explained everything about Nightmare Night in great detail and including some of their personal anecdotes as colts in which they managed to leave all the other colts without candy through of cruel treatment and jokes

Basically, they were dedicated to assaulting children, and they were proud of it

I was internally debating whether to bite them or burn their tails, but something they told me kept coming back to me.

Nightmare Moon was supposed to be Luna, right?

If this was a holiday dedicated to her, shouldn't she be present or something? Why didn't she tell me she? We could have celebrated together. Could it be that she forgot to tell me or just didn't want to invite me?

For some reason, the idea repulsed me, it just felt… wrong.

If she didn't want me to come see her tonight, at least she would have sent me a letter telling me clearly, not to expect me... I

The damn mail!

"Eh, what?" The old stallion woke up suddenly when he heard the familiar sound of the locomotive's brakes, reducing its speed. As squeaky as ever and as expected its almost omnipresent whistle announcing its arrival at the station to the passengers or at least if there were some

Cracking his weary bones, he rose from his chair in the small train station booth and walked out to greet the driver.

“Good afternoon, Steam Oven,” the old stallion greeted as soon as he came into view.

“Good morning.” The earth pony stallion with black fur and gray mane returned a short greeting as he released the remaining steam to lower the engine pressure.

He never ceased to amaze the old pony with how, despite being at a similar age to him, he still managed to maintain such a physique.

“Are you ready for tonight?” He asked. He once finished his work and was preparing to start it again.

"You know me, old friend, always ready to scare colts and steal their candy." The old stallion let out a sinister curl, causing Steam to shake his head.

“Even at your age, you never change.”

The old man couldn't deny that, he certainly enjoyed drama, so he had a rehearsed presentation for every traveler adventurous enough to make it to the last stop.

“Hey, no one is old enough to... Do you hear that?” Suddenly, the old pony's ears perked up, trying to catch something.

“Auditory hallucinations are a sign of becoming senile”

“Shhhh, listen.”

At the insistence of his friend and realizing that it was not another of his jokes, he decided to concentrate and was immediately able to distinguish something

It seemed to be a wild race due to the strong footsteps that caused the hooves to resonate against the rocks.

“Well, well, it seems our intrepid adventurers have had enough of the end of the road-AH AAAAAH!”

The old stallion's cry made him notice the numerous rocks flying in his direction. Instinctively, he dove, but luckily it wasn't necessary, as the rocks crashed quite far away.

They weren't aiming at them.

He realized at the same time that he saw a deer and a pony with black and white patterns on its fur running straight towards them while being chased by a herd of… Unicorns?

That's what they looked like from afar, but even without distinguishing his shape well, he could tell that something didn't match that assumption.

Steam dismissed those thoughts and focused on the important thing. “Hey, grouch!”

“I told you not to call me that!” His friend, who was still using his guardhouse as cover, protested.

"I don't care, come in quickly, we're getting out of here!"

Steam could barely see his friend moving towards one of the cars when he grabbed his trusty shovel, hoping to be quick enough to warm up the engine despite knowing that it had already released all the accumulated steam and would take a while to fill, but Faith It was the last thing that was lost in his opinion

“BIZZ”

However, he was not even given the chance when, in a strong flash and discharge of energy that made his fur stand on end, one of the creatures teleported just a few meters away from him.

She appeared to be a mare, and she looked exhausted, she was breathing heavily, his face was soaked, and his horn was letting out smoke.

Steam might be an earth pony, but he had had a long life, and he could safely say that that teleportation spell was either terribly outdated or the user of it was quite inexperienced, perhaps a mix of the two.

This was his chance, with his strength, his shovel in his hooves, and the vulnerable intruder, he couldn't have it any easier!

“AAAAAH” Steam screamed like a girl. She slipped on pieces of coal, and in desperation, she threw her shovel at him, which bounced harmlessly off the hard skin covered in scales.

…

In an instant, she had lost her perfect opportunity, her weapon, his honor, and... his clean pants, or so it would have been if she brought something to cover her misery. Her lack of clothing only made her failure to control her bladder more evident.

Luckily for Steam, the Kirin did not seem interested in her misfortune, in fact, her face did not show the slightest hint of any emotion. Instead, she took the shovel from it, turned her back on it, and assumed a defensive position, blocking anyone who wanted to access the train.

They didn't take long to arrive

The deer was the first to put a hoof on the station and immediately confronted the Kirin, which did not hesitate to use the shovel to hit it.

The deer blocked the blow with its antlers, which emitted a brief flash as they collided with the metal.

To the Kirin's surprise, as a result of the encounter, only the red-hot handle of the shovel remained.

Hawthorn did not hesitate to take advantage of that moment of distraction and grabbed both sides of the Kirin's head and slammed it into the ground. The worn, rotted wooden boards could not withstand the force of the impact, causing the head to go through and get stuck.

"What are you waiting for?! “Make this thing move!” Hawthorn screamed in the engineer's face as Zecora, who had been mistaken for a pony, entered the driver's cab, helping Steam up.

“I can’t, it will take me at least 10 minutes to get enough heat!” Steam cried out in despair, believing that his time had come

Hawthorn didn't pay attention to him. “Zecora, take care of it.”

The zebra, still not catching its breath, just gave her a nod and took off her saddlebag to search inside.

"Careful!" Steam shouted as he saw another large rock fall directly on top of them, but luckily for them, Hawthorn reacted in time and split it in two.

Unfortunately, the attack did not stop there, and another Kirin jumped from right between the separating halves and hit Hawthorn in the face.

Far from being enough to stun it, having become accustomed to this treatment, Hawthorn evaded the kirin's subsequent attempt to bite him and kicked it with his hind legs. He wanted to take advantage of the opening that this blow caused, but a third Kirin had come to support his opponent.

Fortunately, this time, Hawthorn saw it coming. He stepped aside, dodging her attempt to lunge at him, then grabbed his mane with his teeth and changed his direction enough to crash him into his companion.

“Zecora!” Hawthorn shouted, already tired, but ready to face the wave of hybrids that did not stop arriving.

"I have it!" As if Zecora had waited to be called, she pulled out a jar filled with a bubbling reddish liquid that seemed to release sparks that bounced brightly against the glass.

Steam didn't like that at all, but no one asked him when Zecora threw the jar into the cauldron.

“BOOOM”

The effect was immediate. Steam reacted quickly enough to seal the cauldron an instant after the potion crossed

Immediately, the explosion inside the boiler caused the metal plates to deform, almost bursting, liters of water evaporated, the lid of the boiler became red hot and the chimney expelled fire towards the sky.

As expected, the pressure markers indicated that it was about to burst. “We recommend movement, our companion's remaining temperament is not abundant.”

Steam watched as the stag hugged the back of a Kirin and suplex him, barely getting enough time to roll around, avoiding a stomp that splintered the ground, and responded with a headbutt followed by a blow to the jaw.

Steam watched for a second as those furious eyes focused on him, promising him endless pain if he didn't move.

He decided to follow that instinct and put the train in reverse.

Zecora, Steam and the old stallion who had managed to get into one of the cars fell to the ground when they felt the sudden movement and acceleration of the train.

“It's about time” Hawthorn said as he took a hit from another Kirin and another climbed on his back. Finally, he was being subdued, but contrary to the Kirin's expectations, it was at that moment that he fought in earnest.

Hawthorn leaned forward, almost kissing the ground, and with his hind legs almost losing contact with the ground, causing the Kirin on his back to lean forward, which he took advantage of to push himself up and headbutt the Kirin's jaw. Kirin

If his mouth had been open, he would have lost his tongue, fortunately, that was not the case, and he only lost his grip and fell to the ground with some broken fangs.

At that moment, Hawthorn's antlers shone with power, releasing sparks and making his opponents retreat instinctively. In response, Hawthorn immediately passed his antlers across the ground, destroying it upon contact, demonstrating how powerful they were and causing everyone present to realize that they could have been split in half at any time

That revelation made the kirins doubt, something that Hawthorn did not waste. He immediately started running to catch the train, but stopped when he noticed something more important.

Hawthorn turned back in the direction of the disbelieving Kirin and gave the Kirin who was still stuck with her head in the ground, a hard spank and then returned to his desperate run.

“Next time, invite me to dinner first!” He yelled at them in a final act of mockery as he fled again.

The Kirins, now outraged for the first time, showed an expression of disgust and set off in pursuit while their bodies released faint trails of smoke.

Hawthorn accelerated as much as he could until he reached the driver's cabin, where Zecora offered him her hoof, and as soon as he took it he was pulled inside, but he was not the only one. If he could reach the machinery, a species descended from dragons could do it in the same way and with greater ease.

It would still take a few more moments for the train to reach a decent speed, while its pursuers were closing the distance at a worrying pace.

But to everyone's surprise, it was Steam who reacted first and put his paw into the saddlebag that Zecora had left on the ground. In his desperation and panic, he grabbed the first jar he found, which turned out to be a pink mixture, and threw it at the stampede of Kirins.

The effect was the desired one... but not in the way he expected.

The Kirins who were hit by the liquid or passed by it showed a strong blush before falling to the ground and covering their lower parts while letting out indignant and pleased squeals.

Everyone watched the show as the train gained speed.

"Well… I owe Fyr a favor.”

Idiot, idiot, idiot!

How is it possible to be such an idiot?! She wanted to hit me, she had, but not hard enough in my opinion

Currently, I was running as fast as I could through the Everfree

It turns out that Luna, if she invited me to Nightmare night, she sent me letters, several letters, but in my stupidity I became obsessed with the car project and forgot that cell phones no longer exist.

Luna doesn't know anything about my drones, so mail is the only way she can communicate with me when I'm not in the castle, but those things only go as far as the village, and because of my new project, coupled with the sudden departure of Hawthorn with Zecora to manage one of the many deer villages scattered throughout the forests of Equestria, I had little reason left to return.

Until now

Even through the paper I could tell Luna was excited about this, maybe too excited, only to realize she was already late.

I was to meet her in Canterlot where a carriage would take us to Ponyville.

Why did it have to be that town again?

Well, that didn't matter anymore, because, like I said, I was terribly late. I was considering the idea of teleporting there, but since my siege I moved my drones and other creations away from the castle for fear that Celestia would find them with some search spell or similar.

I could barely see Luna's carriage take off from the distance.

Luckily, the letter also specified that we could meet in town, so I could at least make it to that point.

If it weren't for the fact that I reek of sweat and am covered in oil stains that I doubt any spell could hide, which brings me to my current career.

A tub wouldn't be enough, so I asked Aspen for the closest waterfall I just arrived at.

Without thinking, I jumped from the edge of the waterfall to the river that formed below. I should have known better because it was about 20 meters and I still didn't know how to move properly in the water, much less in free fall.

Result? I fell on my face with the rest of my body extended, the place echoed with a sound similar to a VERY loud applause as my body proceeded to slowly sink.

... That hurt a lot more than it seemed

I had to use a spell I learned after almost drowning in the Canterlot Gardens, my horns and the water around me turning a greenish hue as the currents changed direction and propelled me upwards.

Once I ascended, I proceeded to remove the dirt with the strong blasts of water, teleport a bar of soap, among other things thanks to 'Flame gate', which proves to be increasingly useful

“Bttt”

I felt my breath cut out when one of my drones informed me that Luna's carriage was about to arrive.

I quickly ran the water over my body one last time, removing the foam, before using a drone to the outskirts of the forest to get there as quickly as possible.

Once there, I blew myself up with my flames, evaporating all the moisture in my fur while activating my Spirit Flame illusion.

Once I was sure that everything was in order, I headed to the town, where I soon heard Luna's voice.

Hell, I told him not to use his real Canterlot voice, why so obsessed with breaking eardrums?

I no longer even needed to use the drone to locate her, the noise caused by the simple presentation of her was more than enough to track her.

“A glorious feast!” As if her pose standing on her hind legs didn't give enough drama to her arrival, thunder boomed in the distance, its precision making me question if Luna had caused it, but the dullness of her horn made me realize that it was just was it a coincidence or the result of terrible luck?

At first, I thought the ponies were bowing in respect, now I realize they are terrified.

You'd think Luna would notice the obvious difference, but I knew her better and could tell that she was just as if not even more terrified than these ponies, Luna always had a hard time talking to anyone other than her Thestral guards, I'm an exception only for its invasion of my dreamscape, if it weren't for that perhaps we would never have crossed that gap between a princess and a villager

“Did you ponys hear that? Nightmare Moon says she will feast on all of us, AAAAH!” Pinkie… chicken, you're not helping.

The only thing Pikie managed to do was cause a stampede of foals, to which Luna looked visibly bewildered by this.

"That? No, children, no, you have no reason to fear us anymore, screams of joy are what your princess wants, not screams of terror." Luna tried somewhat desperately to make everyone understand that there was no reason to fear her, although it would have been better if she had refrained from crack the ground with one blow

At that moment, I realized that maybe I should have spent more time talking about his social anxiety than teaching him how to play video games, but was it really my fault? I am practically a stranger, I almost always felt out of place when talking about that topic. What the hell has Celestia been doing all this time?

Finally, I realized that I had enough of this and decided to reach out before the situation got worse.

I was moments away from entering her line of sight, but she just turned to greet a mare in a clown costume. “Madam Mayor, your princess of the night has arrived!”

I unconsciously accelerated my pace when I saw how Luna almost crushed the mayor with her front paw, but in the end she didn't need to.

Luna stopped her hoof inches from the poor mare's face and kept waiting.

To which the mare only responded by shaking harder while she covered her face with her hooves...

Well, I can understand this behavior of simple civilians, but isn't she supposed to be the mayor... as well as an adult?

Have some damn pride!

“But what about all of you?” Luna was now understandably confused as expected, and she pointed to another pony hoping it would heed her greeting, but her response was the same as the mayor's.

Even more worried, she pointed again to another pony, who also ignored her.

I was about to interrupt her when she turned around once again and accidentally ended up pointing at me.

Luna seemed to petrify in that moment, any sign of the bewilderment that overwhelmed her before her disappeared by the sheer perplexity of my sudden appearance.

I decided to take advantage of this and with a mischievous smile on her face I took her paw and kissed it “It is a pleasure of hers, the majesty of her” I said reverently.

Something to which Luna finally responded “Spirit!” Luna jumped in complete panic, almost taking flight as she rubbed her hoof. “When did you get here?!”

“About the part about ‘A glorious feast!’” I said with a painful attempt to deepen my voice while copying the exact same pose that Luna did, a bit difficult to stay on her hind legs, but not as much as I imagined.

Luna responded with a massive blush all over her face “I didn't look like that! TRUE?" She screamed and then asked, trying to hide her face with one of her wings

"HAHAHA!" I laughed so hard my chest hurt.

Meanwhile, the rest of the ponies watched our interaction in disbelief. A second ago the incarnation of all evil stood before them and in an instant she transformed into a timid mare.

Without any of them realizing, her fear had been replaced, but I noticed that she could come back at any moment if she didn't do something soon.

It was at that moment that I approached the mayor and whispered in her ear with a face that had abandoned all signs of the friendliness shown previously: “If you don't welcome her properly right now, I'll have to take a pay cut.”

I said before that the mayor was terrified of Luna, well all that terror was nothing to the way she was looking at me now.

Politicians, no matter what world, her weak point will always be her wallet

She immediately composed herself, although I could see that her legs were still shaking the closer she got to Luna. “Ehem, Attention, mares and stallions, with you, the princess of the night and to whom we owe this celebration, Princess Luna!”

…

Nobody said or did anything... damn, I always have to do everything myself

I kicked Luna hoping she would react, which worked...sort of.

“Attention city-ha!” I kicked her again with twice as much force this time.

She looked at me surprised, and I had to whisper "Talk to them like you did to me, when we met." Luna didn't seem very convinced, I could see the fear in her eyes "Trust me" I told her in a reassuring tone.

For a second, Luna seemed to hesitate, fear taking over her, but then she looked directly at me. I didn't dare look away from her, and I smiled at her, wanting to show my total support and trust in her.

At that moment, Luna nodded and took a deep breath before speaking again, this time with a more controlled tone.

"Sorry for the interruption, dear citizens, but I must clarify that I have not come to cause you misfortunes, the only thing I wish is to be one more in these celebrations to be able to enjoy the pleasures that Nightmare Night can offer!"

Nobody knew what to do, and again silence stole the spotlight

Say yes, or I swear that I...

"Hello!" A new voice caught everyone's attention, one that has become increasingly common to me. Twilight, and with a Star Swirl the bearded costume “You're finally here, welcome!” She said it without the slightest hint of fear or doubt, in fact, she seemed quite excited.

Twilight was probably just intending to give the princess a polite greeting, but unbeknownst to her, she was the one who assured the inhabitants of Ponyville that Luna was not a danger.

An unknown Kirin, of which most probably did not even know his species and who had seemingly come out of nowhere, did not inspire much confidence.

But Twilight? Twilight was a totally different matter, not only was she the student of the beloved Princess Celestia, in addition to being a national hero, but she was also a member of her community, all the ponies present knew her and had spoken with her at least once

The ponies looked visibly more relaxed, some even approached and gave a shy wave, to which Luna responded with equal shyness.

I decided not to get in the way and to step aside. Besides, the exchange of greetings was usually slow, clumsy and tedious to watch, but before I could get too far away, Luna wrapped one of her wings around me and pulled me in, forcing me to be closer to her

I thought it was to annoy me, but I could feel how tense her whole body was. He did a good job of hiding it, but she was still terrified.

I suppose if my presence brings her any comfort, she could stay.

I gave up my attempts to escape and let her pull me closer to her, indicating that I would not leave, to which she seemed visibly calmer.

Which didn't last long, finally the atmosphere seemed to be returning to normal with the ponies refocusing on the festivities when we were interrupted again.

“ZAP”

"My eyes!" Twilight teleported inches from my face, leaving me momentarily blind. Because I always?!

“I found you, I finally found you!” I could hear Twilight almost scream in ecstasy.

“Twilight!” From the voice, I could tell that this time it was Luna who spoke. “I would appreciate it if you would pay attention to the minimum space recommended for such spells.” Do what you preach, Luna.

"Princess Luna!" Twilight jumped at Luna's voice as if she had just realized she was there. “Forgive me, I had forgotten for a moment that you were here.”

… And somehow, that seemed to be the case

Luna didn't know how to respond to that, and I was no less confused, except... "So... when you came before, who were you saying hello to me?"

“Of course I have, I've been looking for you tirelessly” Twilight said without noticing how Luna's gaze darkened.

How lucky that the rest of the ponies chose to wander off and enjoy the festivities away from us.

“Would you mind telling us why you would be interested in meeting Spirit?” Luna didn't look very happy.

Somehow, Twilight didn't seem to notice everything that had happened, and thought that I was good at isolating myself from reality. Here is the teacher!

In response to our question, Twilight pulled out a book from under her carnival magician hat. “This is obviously why.”

“This is…" I was surprised to recognize it.

“It's the book you gave us, he hasn't left it since the first time he read it” Spike informed me, materializing a meter away from me with a rather inaccurate and mismatched locomotive costume. It seemed homemade because of the materials, like cardboard and the fact that no self-respecting store would be desperate enough to sell such a thing

“Spike!” I didn't care about his hideous costume, so I pulled him towards me for a bear hug.

“MMh!” He protested against my coat

Meanwhile, Luna seemed to get curious and took the book with telekinesis from her and-

“I have so many questions!” Of course, Twilight didn't give us a minute.

"About what?" Ask sincerely

“You really don't know?”

"That?"

“Your book caused a stir in Canterlot, your theory of relativity, black holes, the fourth dimension- Mmh!” I had to cover his mouth when his volume began to rise to a level and pitch that could be considered insane.

“Please breathe”

Twilight seemed to notice that, at some point, she stopped breathing and inhaled deeply before speaking again. “Everything that appears in the book has caused a great division among the greatest minds, some claim that it is just nonsense, others that it is a genius, and the others are already trying to replicate the most basic aspects of the book” Twilight stopped to breathe again, but it didn't last long before continuing, “You have to tell me, where did you get the information from? Has anything you said been proven, or are they just theories? And if that's it, how did you come up with them? Will Copper and Dr. Brownie end up together?"

The tidal wave of questions continued like a tsunami. At one point, I was pretty sure he was using magic to keep from fainting because he got to the point of turning blue.

A part of me felt proud to be the cause of such a stir among the so-called brightest minds in Equestria, I felt like an intellectual, a real novelty for me... but... but there was another part of me, one that felt disgusted.

That book is a masterpiece, not only for the plot but also for the way in which it mixes the knowledge acquired regarding science, physics, mathematics and science fiction to give us an image of what the universe and its secrets could be that hides according to our poor understanding

Humanity bled for that knowledge, wars were fought to get my species to where it is today.

What have ponies done in comparison? A thousand years of uninterrupted government and peace

The things that humanity could achieve if it forgot its differences and worked together are a thing of fantasy, we can only imagine what we could be if such a miracle occurred.

However, here you have a race completely united under a single banner, and if that were not enough, each member of this race possesses a power capable of altering from the most basic principles of reality to the deepest ones.

Practically, they have it served on a silver platter, guaranteed success, AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING!

“Ehem, excuse me, Spirit, are you okay?” Spike's voice brought me out of my strange trance state.

“I think I was gone for a while... What did I miss?” I asked, and Spike just pointed out to Twilight that she had brought a blackboard and written down a bunch of crazy theories that not even my twisted mind could hope to understand.

Okay... maybe Twilight and I are more similar than I thought.

“She tends to do that, especially when she's 'inspired.'” Spike emphasized that last part.

“Oh… and you, how has she been?” I chose to change the subject and have Twilight continue in her own world

“Normal, I guess, Twilight helped me make this costume!” Spike dove to the ground, causing certain rigid parts of the costume to move, and once he was completely lying down in front of me, there was a baby dragon sized locomotive.

“Haha, it seems like you really liked those toys.” I rejoiced internally, everything seems to indicate that our sales will be a success. How did it take me so long to realize that I could make money selling things from my world that don't exist here? Damn, that's Izekai survival rule number one

“And you Luna? Tell me what you think” Spike and I looked forward to receiving a professional critique, but Luna seemed too focused as she flipped through the book “Luna?”

She continued, unfazed, and I was already preparing to kick her again to get her attention when the book closed softly. Her face became strangely serene, all signs of emotion leaving her face, except for a simple smile, eerily similar to Celestia's.

I felt a chill run down my spine.

There's no way he wouldn't have liked her... Right?

“I think it's a lovely costume,” she said finally. “Maybe we should get some of our own. I looked through my sister's belongings, but it seems like her taste for the old-fashioned hasn't shown any improvement in all this time.”

I was a little disoriented by the change in attitude, but I realized he was right. I would have liked to dress up too, and if it weren't for the fact that I didn't know, I wouldn't have hesitated to get something really extravagant and, above all, very scary.

“Excellent, if I remember correctly, one of the elements was a skilled tailor, maybe she can help us, Spike, would you be so kind as to guide us?”

“Oh, you're talking about Rarity, of course, follow me!” Spike looked visibly excited, it didn't take him long to compose himself and pick up speed in the direction where I guess Rarity would be.

“What do we do with Twilight?” I asked as he looked at the mare, too focused on filling out the second board that had appeared at some point that I couldn't explain.

All the emotion on Spike's face received a devastating blow, and the dragon stopped dead, but with so much speed gained, he only managed to fall face first into the ground.

At least his disguise made it look like he was transforming, so his honor was mostly intact.

Almost

Spike stood up with some embarrassment and assumed his place next to Twilight. “Go in that direction, and you will see a building shaped like a carousel, you can't miss it. Rarity always takes time to put on her makeup, and today even longer, so they still have time to find it inside”

"And you?"

“Don't worry, as soon as you leave, I'll get Twilight's attention, and she'll stop, but if you're still here, she won't stop” Spike said, and something told me that situations like this had happened too often.

Well, step by step, I can't expect Twilight to change all of her living habits in such a short time.

Although it still bothers me to see Spike so discouraged

“Okay, see you later, Spike.” Luna and I said goodbye and followed Spike's instructions.

Luna was unusually silent, always keeping the same expression on her face. Whatever she was thinking was incomprehensible to me

I didn't know what to do with it, so at some point, my mind started wandering again. There was something Luna said that caught my attention earlier.

'One of the elements was a skilled tailor'

The Elements of Harmony... I felt my fur stand on end as the name was repeated in my mind, as if the mere thought of them was enough to feel a hint of their power.

I was terrified

I wasn't ashamed to admit it. Luna explained to me what those things were and what they were capable of, as if Discord hadn't been enough to show me how pathetic I was on an existential level.

In the face of those things, I am nothing, I was wrong, I am less than nothing

How is it that such power is at the mercy of six common ponies? It doesn't make sense, they can't even imagine what they have

Twilight was one of them, again, it's starting to seem too much to be a coincidence. I still can't make up my mind whether I like her or not, but she's important to Spike, so I guess she's fine.

I like Fluttershy, she doesn't talk much, but she is kind and likes animals. Besides being adorable, there's no way not to love her!

Applejack, I don't know much about her, other than that, she sells apples and the filly I met my first day here is her sister, she must have been worried about her that day... I can understand that, even if it's irritating to me.

Rarity, she is the one I have the least information about, in fact, I just found out what she works on

Pinkie Pie... there's nothing I'm afraid of without a good reason, but that thing... it scares me.

And finally, Rainbow Dash... I hate her, she is stupid, narcissistic and frankly seems like a spoiled child in the body of an adult, very lonely without the characteristic charm of those imps

After all, when you see an adult making the same jokes as a child, it's no longer funny, it's just sad.

… I think she would be fine… I don't think anyone would care. If they were really important, Celestia would never let them walk around without protection.

The elements of harmony are a weapon too powerful and unpredictable to ignore.

I decided

For my sake and Discord's, once again, I must kill

Rainbow Dash, enjoy the rest of this day as best you can, because tomorrow my hunt begins
