One trip to town hall later, Twilight brought Loona over to Scootaloo's home. "We're all set." Twilight announced as they entered the house. "So… when you figure out how the dark magic works in the other spells. Let me know."

"I can probably do more than just fixing spells." Loona sighed.

"I believe you. But until Luna believes that you're not going to use dark magic against the subjects of Equestria. The only times you'll be permitted to use magic is under the supervision of the princesses or myself."

Loona sighed and sat on the couch. "So how am I going to prove that I'm not going to be taken over by dark magic?"

Twilight thought for a moment. "Well… that is a good question… if I knew more about where you come from. I might be able to come up with something to help."

Loona shrugged. "Hell."

"What?"

"I come from hell. I'm what you call a hellhound." Loona explained. "Not really the lowest level demon." She sighed, crossing her arms and looking away. "But we're still treated like pets at best."

Twilight sat and hung her head. "That sounds terrible."

Shrugging, she smirked. "It has its perks. Not many rules. Free drugs and cheap booze." Blinking, she turned to Twilight. "Speaking of which. What do you have to smoke or drink?"

"Hard cider is the most popular. And as for smoking… I can look into it." Twilight replied with a soft smile. "I'll tell the princesses about what you told me." Pulling out a scroll, she wrote down what Loona told her as well as her request.

"So… if I was to cast a spell for you. You'll lift the restriction?" Loona asked.

"Well… I can learn about how you cast spells and compare it to our known methods… even if I can't permit you to use dark magic. I should be able to let you use common spells…" Twilight muttered as her expression brightened with each thought. "I can see the range of magic you can cast."

Loona smiled and opened the dark magic book to a marked page. "I was hoping I could cast this spell… at least once."

Twilight looked it over. "Magic and body augmentation?... that's… I don't really know if that's dark magic or just forbidden…"

"Why would it be forbidden?"

"One, it's extremely complicated. Two, it's a runic spell. And three, it alters the body. It's up there with gender transformation in difficulty." Twilight gasped.

"Really?" Loona asked in shock. "This looks rather basic to me. All I need is some chalk and space to make the circle and the rest is easy."

Twilight tapped her chin in thought. "Who would you be doing it on?"

"Scootaloo. But I want it to be a surprise." Loona sighed.

Twilight blinked in shock before noticing how she said it and instantly calmed down. "Before I agree to this. I need to know why. Why do you want to cast this spell on her. And why you were so eager to agree to this arrangement."

Loona rubbed her arm nervously as she considered what to say. "You remember how I said my kind are treated like pets?"

"Yes."

"I… I was kept at a place you can consider an orphanage till someone adopted me." Loona admitted. Before Twilight was able to remark, she added. "It was more of a kennel than anything. I was kept there till I was adopted when I was close to becoming an adult."

Twilight gasped in shock. She didn't know what to say, but she quickly understood why Loona felt bad for Scootaloo. Thinking for a moment, she nodded. "I see… well. If her parents don't respond to the princess's summons… then I can fast track the adoption. If you would like to stay, that is."

Loona thought for a bit and smiled. "I don't see why not. I just have to find a job."

"For now. You can consider working with me on dark magic as your current job. We can see about a second job later if you want." Twilight explained before levitating a few items in the livingroom to make space. "Just make sure it's clean from dark magical influences."

"I'm a hellhound… from hell… even if some dark magic wasn't involved, I'm pretty sure this spell you put on me will see it as dark magic." Loona countered.

Twilight stopped and thought for a moment. "Good point… we should run a few tests before you can cast that spell." She agreed before turning and having some quills and scrolls appear. "If we're going to be ready before she gets out of school. We best get started."

Author's Note

Short chapter. But I hope I was able to pull off a nice set up for what is coming or might. Also I think I did the background for Loona well. If not, let me know. Anyway, I have a few ideas on what might happen with the mix of hell magic a Equestrian magic. This is going to be fun.
