Chapter 8 - Stepping into the dark gray territorys

Beeping, endless beeping. Merciless beeping in the earholes of Cynder the dragon welp.
Her body feel very heavy, her mind was slow yet consistently trying to try catching up with all the noises around her.
But the beeping was ever present, never ending and relentless beeping on.
If her body wouldn't be so incredibly heavy she be finding out what ever produced the infernal beeping noise and shut it up.
Even if she had to chew the reason for it into stopping.

Why was nobody stopping the beeping? It must have been the singel most infuriating sound she ever heared in both her lifes.
It was so very familiar yet she couldn't remember what it was... So familiar, yet her mind could not catch up to it. Why was noone stopping this dreadful sound from continuing to stop her mind from distracting her from...
What happened again?

After a while her guardian angels named Luna and Nightmare Moon joined in her sorrow of this annoying sound keeping them from a restful relaxing laying around.

At least it was warm and cuddly, she smelled earth and apples, salt and sweat. A very familiar smell that made up over time for this horrific sound reminding her of her inability to keep up with her surroundings. She was sooo tired, maybe sleeping some more, yes this would eventually fix it all, it has to...

Doctor Mending Heart had done all he could, but it looked bad, really bad.
The details of the incident had been unclear, but by now in the two days Cynder had been in his care they found out that the incident was a deliberate attempt at the Apple family younglings lifes.

The motivation was still under investigation, but it was clear that the immigrant from Minatoria a male Minatour had confessed under magical examination that he tried to murder the dragon welp and would have cared very little if anyone else like for example the pony siblings of Cynder would have been killed as long he succeeded in killing the welp.

Nothing more was know to Doctor Mending Heart, but he seriously hoped they fixed the Minatours mind soon, otherwise the Apple clan would undoubtedly call for the antic law that allowed to determine the punishment of the guilty party in clan matter be resulted in a duel to the death between a champion of the Apple clan branch of the harmed party and the offender.

The Apples are known throughout Equestria, if the investigation result of what the Doctor already know would eventually be released?
The Minatour male would be dead meat one way or another.
If poetic justice would be served, he would become not just a murderous criminal killed for the preservation of anyone elses offspring, he literally would be feeded to any carnivore on the meat waiting lists in Equestria.

But what would it matter in the end for his patient? The dragon welp was dying... that was a undeniable fact.

Somehow the dragon welp performed a unknown magic feet with unknown dark affinity readings that had her saved from any physical harm, but over extended her magic essence core to the point of cracking.

What a world... The welp had to fight for her life from the very first day of hatching. She had survived versus a full pack of Timberwolfs only to die to a mentally obviously sick non-pony.

Her damaged core lost its charge as fast as it could produce it, making it impossible to repair itself. Further who ever played around with the dragon welps core had done quite a number on it.

The capacity was unable to be measured by any of their or Canterlot teleported in equicment.
If the Apples had a nobel class rank of 2th or even 1th they could demand Celestia herself helping with the assessment of their dying daughter, but as it standed:
Cynder was dying and there was nothing they could possibly do to fix it.

Mana infusions of all known and stored affinities where rejected by the body of Cynder.
A unprecedented case world wide.
Not even neutral filtered mana was absorbed by the core.

It was if all known and stored mana typed are incompatible with the core so far.
Normal wild magic in the environment always changed when captured eventually.
Silver Tongue suggested something redicules, outright illegal and if he didn't know the stallion being sane, he be sending for a arrest warrant for the stallion for suspected dark magic influences.

Silver Tongue suggested to temporarily free one of the un-curable in Tarterus indefinitly holded prisoners and try using their corruption infested parasitic dark magic as possible mana infusion for the welp.

Even if it would work, it would destroy the welps mind! Fully grown and adult ponies and non-ponys had fallen to its influence. Why not rather leave the welp to peaceful die pure of corruption of any kind, than forcing her to grow up and eventually die alone in a isolated cell in Tarterus?

What was Silver Tongue thinking?
Yes, there was a strange kind of dark magic residue left from what ever Cynder instinctualy had done to save herself, but it was to faint as to make any collection possible to study its composition.

Further what lunatic would suggested this in the first place? Yes, they were desperate to save the life of someone that saved the Apple family clans members life twice... but unless the silver tongued stallion could manage to change the law, this was never going to happen.

Silver Tongue after a heated debate had convinced his mate to try his last ditch attempt at saving the dragon welp Cynder.
He most certainly stepped over the line in asking Celestia if she would do it for their unborn foal if it ever came to it.

Celestia in tears of the merely suggested idea break considering it, she give in to Silvers arguments.
This one time she would make a exception. Nopony was ever to find out about it, but they would try it Silver Tongues way.
They temporarily would free one mare and one stallion by random with a lifetime sentance due to security concerns for Equestria and other nations security.

If Cynder would survive that way, than so be it.
But Celestia made it clear:
Cynder would spend the rest of her life in a isolated cell until she had died of old age.
For a dragon that would be in a few ten thousand of years... would a execution not be the more equine way to end its suffering?

At least she would save one life, even if she damned it to a eternity of isolation.
No un-curable would walk free in her Queendom ever!

Three days later

The Tarterus watch guards had been a well trained and hazard payed division of the royal guards. They are besides the dream guard headquarters the only ones allowed to be near one of the two entrances to Tarterus.

They are very loyal, yet when even their beloved princess Celestia made a call that was so clearly wrong, did the Royal Dream Guard
'Red ~~Shirt~~ Dream'
followed his orders and escorted two un-curable Tarterus inhabitants with a big squad to the Canterlot crystal caves for a more than questionable medical procedure.
He would let his father know of this situation.
Should Princess Celestia be Faust forbidden be mind controlled or dark magic influenced, he would know how to save her.

Their second nobel class rank would allow for a investigation for the well being of Equestria and of the last Alicorns in Equus existence.

"This doomed to failing experiment is only the top of the ice mounten. Celestia is certainly compromised somehow! Further did we keep losing guard to retirement or have to execute sudden deserters and badly failing personal and recruiting is falling short... just as it did for quite some time.
If this keeps up we can't expected anything else than shame if we all eventually walk before our ancestors!"
Did Naysay thought to himself.

His son a young but gifted and in power rising young royal dream realm guard 'Red Dream' has just send him a dragon fire scroll message.

What he learned from it was highly concerning.
First to his protest did Celestia freely allowed many Griffons outside war and climate catastrophic events to immigrate to Equestria.

Now she free her own to lifetime sentanced former subjects for a black ops medical procedure for a non-pony.
Celestia might have get a pass on it somehow, when Crow Inkwell might have given some good arguments. But his wife and his father in law was the ones she used for her experiment!
This was a step Naysay would never forgive her.

Celestia had taken family from him because parasitic dark magic influenced ponies are to dangerous to be left lone if not in Tarterus imprisonment.

He would not stand for all this! Time for a emergency meeting of the 'Pony first' Counsel.
This would blow up in Celestias face one way or another!

Two days later

All preparations had been done.
The two un-curable had been restraint to medical operations table borrowed from the canterlot royal hospital wing.
Cynder was laying limb with a IV infusions of liquids and a breather device in her snout that take over the breathing, when she lost the strength to do it herself yesterday.

This would work or the welp would not leave the cave again. These Crystal's absorbed magic and filtered it into neutral magic and used the magic it converted to grow existing crystals or spawning new ones.
Cynders body would be layed to rest here if the experimental procedure would not save her life.

All in Tarterus imprisonment prisoners that died of old age or being executed for attempting to flee for the last 2000 years had been layed to rest in the Crystal mines under Canterlot.
Hundred of thousands in unmarked graves littered this undergrounds running carved tunnels.

High Princess Celestia would soon run out of space if she didn't find a alternative to bury the Tarterus and otherwise dark magic infested bodys here.

It had been time, Silver Tongue had suggested it and he would be here to witness it from start to end.

Celestia would not come near the caves that could potencial harm her unborn foal.

The old light green Apple clan Matriarch under tears nuzzeld the welp a last time before she was escorted out of the chamber.
Ten doctors made evenly out of eatch five bicorn and five unicorns had been called to perform the operation.

The two un-curable had been chemicaly sedated and prepared, a direct mana infusions from the ponies to the dragon welp and back was formed.
A closed system that would allow circulation between all three parties involved.

Tail hair crossed, did everypony in revulsion see the corruption in the mana of the ponies enter the welp. Cynder body didn't reacted at first as expected, but after half a hour did the two un-curable ponies reacted instead to everyponys surprise.
Impossible as anyone in attendance would have swore on their cutie marks, did the ponies started to lose their dark taint in mane, tail and fur coat.

The life signs of the dragon Cynder was returning to stable parameters and when the dragon hatchling come to it and pulled the breather and its air hoses out of her throat did everyone in attendance that had not yet his muzzel dropped open, done exactly that.

The dragon welp not even a year old somehow managed the literally impossible as before today.
It had not just managed to absorbed parasitic dark magic without physically getting corrupted, she even healed the corruption out of others connected to her.
Once she was confirmed to be healed completely or even partially, it would not surprise anyone present if the nobility of Equestria and the royalty of other nations demanded to breed the fields of Elysium and pits of Tarterus out of the dragon female once she was of age... her welps would be seen a valuable commodity instead of sapient respectable beings.

The impossible had been witnessed today:
Dark parasitic magic could been partially if not completely be healed.

Tarterus ten of thousands imprisonment for lifetime dark magic un-curable would potencial be able to be returned to society.

Cynder the dragon of the Apple family clan was going to change the world with less tha a year old age by being the only viable discovered cure to dark magic corruption!

Celestia could not belive it. Well she could, but only after having the papers confirming it in her hooves. Silver Tongue had once more rocked her world. The dragon Cynder that got experimented on as a egg with a enchantments destroying tail weapon and breath attack, had been confirmed to be the cure to dark magic corruption.

This was huge.
This was a bloody mess!
Ten of thousands of prisoners would be released once Cynder was hooked up to them and she would have cured them.
Celestia would lose all the money the other nations payed her for every singel prisoner yearly in Tarterus for safe keeping.
This would unfortunately be starting a economic crisis in Equestria...

Unless... Hm... yesss.
High Princess Celestia had a very - VERY unsettling smile on her face... she was about to be brilliant.

Author's Note

The difference between a lunatic and a genius is their success...

Once more do my pains of being alive denied me sleep...
Enjoy the results

Stay snuggly!
