Odyssey of my friendship

Chapter 1 (Autophobia) [Fear of loneliness]

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

The quiet day of Ponyville was replaced by the loud scream of a small dragon running down the street, screaming in panic and almost crying. Even Rarity, who once dropped her lipstick on her wedding dress, could be jealous of his hysteria.

“It should not be! It should not be!“ Spike yelled, practically stumbling as he ran and gasping for air.

“Hey, what shouldn't happen?“ Rainbow abruptly distracted him, fluttering above him.

“There! Twilight! Trouble! She!..“ the dragon stammered through every word, loudly shouting everything separately.

“Hey, take it easy. Don't panic so much, let's catch your breath. And tell us clearly what exactly happened? I'm sure we can help you!“ confidently and sternly, as always, she grabbed him and slightly lifted him off the ground, making his movements meaningless.

“Well... She went into the portal and told me, “ I’ll go there and back, I’ll be back in an hour. “ And the portal is a mirror! It... It burst!!! “ the little dragon explained the situation more loudly in his last breath and with wild horror.

“Well, Spike, you’re not superstitious, “ Rainbow noted reluctantly, in vain trying to turn his panic into a simple joke, as usually happened at such moments.

“She stayed there! “ Spike shouted just as loudly in her face, which is why she resigned herself and stopped trying to convince him otherwise. Still, even the die-hard realized that she needed to turn to her elders in intelligence.

“Listen, Spike. Wait a little, I’m sure that Starlight and a couple of other nerdy ponies will help us in this situation. Or at least there's Celestia and Luna?“ Celestia forbid, we’ll call Discord too,” Dash tried to calm him down, still holding him in the air.

“Yes... Starlight! She's smart! She will help...“ Spike immediately pulled himself together, agreeing with the pegasus.

At such moments, a miracle usually happens, but... as happens in cruel reality, this time it did not happen. A crowd of everyone who could help in any way had already gathered near the portal. Starlight, breathing heavily, tried to use telekinesis to assemble the mirror from the pieces into a single whole. Yes, of course, it worked, but there was no point. It looked like the most ordinary mirror, reflecting only appearance, but it certainly did not work as a portal to another world. And as you might guess, simply assembling the fragments together did not lead to anything.

“Spike?“ asked Princess Celestia.

“Yes?“ Touching his claws, Spike looked at her. He clearly felt guilty for what had happened, but no one else shared his opinion. Not a single friend of his thought that Twilight's prank was his fault.

“What did Twilight tell you?“ the princess asked as calmly and quietly as possible, trying not to scare him.

“She... said that she wanted to make a grand discovery, and for this she used a mirror. I drew some symbols on the sides, and then opened it with my magic, and also with the help of an element. Then the portal glowed gray, and she left! I... I tried to dissuade her... Or go with her, but Twilight didn’t listen to me and told me that if she doesn’t come back in a day, to tell you about it! But after she went there and the portal went out, the mirror shattered into pieces! I immediately ran to call for help!“

“Princess, I’m powerless now...“ said Starlight, looking a little guiltily at Celestia.“ Without the Element of Magic or its essence, we could organize research, but...“

“So... This is very bad...“ Sunburst spoke. “Here’s what we know: no one knows where Twilight is, and it’s not clear how she disappeared... And what’s even worse, we have absolutely no idea where exactly the portal took her.“ I will conduct a few more experiments, but this time without the Element of Magic we will not be able to activate the portal there, and even if we knew how to get there... We do not have the exact coordinates!“ as if to confirm Starlight’s theory, he added.

“I completely entrust the research to you. I will provide any tools and materials that you need.“

Celestia herself didn’t know what to expect from this, and after the Elements didn’t work and even Discord threw up his different paws from his own helplessness, it made her start to panic a little. But she did not show this to others. The princess only prayed that the one she had taught for so many years would return back. Celestia could just tell her off... Maybe scare her for her bad actions, and then hug her.

The day passed quickly, but Twilight never returned. Spike, as a faithful assistant, sat and guarded the ill-fated mirror, to which numerous wires were connected; sensors scanned any impulses, translating them into data. Starlight, Sunburst, other researchers, as well as the occasional visitors Celestia, Luna, and Discord, gathered there to discuss what to do next.

“Spike, the day after tomorrow we will take the mirror to the laboratory. You shouldn’t be alone,“ Starlight said.

“But... I will take care of the castle! I’ll stay here,“ Spike definitely didn’t want to leave his and Twilight’s house unattended.

“Don't worry, we'll look after Spike!“ Rainbow said decisively.

“Sugar, you don’t need to worry, Twilight will quickly figure out how to get out of there, I think she just lost track of time. Don’t worry, we’ll check in on you every day,“ Applejack encouraged.

“It's so awful!“ Rarity responded. “Come to me, I will help you, darling! I can't stand this! How's Twilight doing? She's probably all alone!“ she said almost feignedly.

“Everything will be fine! I think she's having fun there!“ Pinkie said loudly. “When she gets back, we’ll throw a stunning party!“

“Thank you, girls, but I’ll still stay here. This is my home. Even if Twilight isn't here... I won't let this place stand still without her.“

Spike smiled faintly, but in fact he felt heavy at heart. He still believed that it was his fault. And that it was worth being much more persistent at that moment. He is her closest and first friend, after all.

Everyone hoped that this was some kind of joke and that their Princess of Friendship would return soon. Soon the day flew by, the second, the third. A week... Two whole weeks. Many no longer hoped for the return of the Princess of Friendship, and the mayor of Ponyville gave the go-ahead to erect a statue in her honor. Like a pony who risked her life dedicated to learning new things and had little regard for her own well-being. Someone began to think that she was dead. The statue showed all the greatness of Twilight as the Princess of Friendship and bearer of the Element of Magic.

“No! She didn't die! Twilight is alive!“ Spike asserted in a low voice, sitting quietly at her monument.

Around, at the foot of the statue, there were many bouquets. Many ponies were sad that their idol of friendship was missing. It was just as hard without a friend... a daughter... a younger sister and even a long-time guardian for Spike. It was difficult for everyone to understand this.

“Spike, don’t blame yourself, it’s no one’s fault. Twilight herself chose this path; nothing depended on us. The portal does not work, and the essence of magic... is not as easy to isolate as it seems. It may take several years... But don’t lose hope... I’m sure she will return, one way or another...“ Starlight tried to somehow cheer up Spike, first hugging him tightly. It was hard for her herself without her mentor.

* * *

Day 21: Research provides the ability to cross the mirror using other elements. But Discord warned that, at best, their mental perception in those worlds would be poor. That's why we're currently working on some robotic versions of ponies. But the research is also unsuccessful. The solution was to create simple frame cubes that would be fed into the portal on a manipulator.

Day 24. We did a couple of tests. Applejack activated the portal with her Honesty element. According to the commission, it is considered the safest. But as soon as we pushed the device there, it malfunctioned, and when we pulled it out, for some reason it began to melt before our eyes. Subsequent analyzes showed that it melted at a temperature of 213 degrees Celsius. Further research into this element was stopped.

Day 26: Rainbow Dash used her element of Loyalty. The portal opened quite quickly, it resembled a blue shell. Once stabilized, it resembled ripples in water, no matter how strange it was. There was indeed water on the other side. Having pulled out the ippoid from there, all that was left of it was one flattened plate. The steel frame was mercilessly crushed under the water. We took measurements and found out that the pressure on the other side exceeded 17 MPa. And this number is comparable to the bottom of the ocean. It was decided to stop further testing due to possible danger or death.

Day 28. We tried to combine three elements. Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy used their elements - Generosity, Honesty and Kindness. Energy had to be used many times more. As a result, a portal appeared with yellow-orange ripples. The device placed inside was intact for the first time. After the analysis, we pulled out the device, but it was covered with some kind of mucus, which over time, in our world, began to grow sharply, about 15 cm per minute. It was decided to destroy the object by burning and cremating the area near the portal. The portal was immediately closed. And the area around it has been quarantined.

Day 30. Special anti-magic magnets based on Neodymium and Dimerite were placed along the perimeter of the portal. Experiments were postponed until the portal's arrival area and quarantine area for creatures and devices were upgraded.

Day 32. We decided to try using Discord's Chaos magic. But unfortunately, after using his magic, the mirror creaked faintly. It was decided to postpone research until the apparatus was repaired.

Day 33. This morning at 6:43 the “mirror” began to hum in some unknown way. Small vibrations echoed throughout the laboratory, sending out magical waves all around. We didn't know what was happening.

* * *

“Attention! Attention! Evacuate all ponies from the mirror work area! Fast!“ Starlight commanded. A few minutes later everyone was behind thick glass. Everyone watched the mirror carefully. It sparkled, and then gradually began to bend. Soon the princesses, carriers of the elements, Discord and the rest of the scientists arrived there.

The portal hummed with renewed vigor, revealing a previously unseen shell of all the colors of the rainbow with a red scorch in the center in the form of lace. Something came out of there. A creature in a black helmet that was clearly alive. Perspiration was visible through the breathing holes on the mask; in appearance it resembled a changeling. There were bags hanging on his sides. The suit-armor that he was wearing looked exactly like something out of the techno comics that are very popular these days. Dust flew nearby and settled in a thin layer on the armor. Judging by the horn, the opinion has been changed, in front of them is none other than the unicorn.

“Who is this?“ Starlight quietly inquired, turning to Celestia in a whisper.

The creature in a black shell, stepping loudly, approached the nearest column, studying it with its front hoof. It didn't see any of them or anything else that could attract its attention. Suddenly, with just a weak wave of its hoof, it left a dent in the steel support of the structure, causing the entire building to shake violently. Everyone lowered their ears, looking at the creature, but not yet making an attempt to escape.

“Hmm... Steel...“ the figure spoke quietly. Hoarse and very low. Supposedly, there was a stallion under the mask. “Computer, analysis...“

“Attention... The air is breathable, I am adjusting the breathing mask. The temperature is suitable for staying. The world is magical.“

“Great...“ sitting loudly on the floor, the creature pulled out of its bag some kind of tablet and a large object of brown tones, the subject opened it like a book. Taking a pen made of a material resembling obsidian with magic, he began to write. And after putting away the book, he took the tablet and began to say something.

“Computer, recording,“ the tablet lit up blue. “World number *The number was not legible due to interference in the subject’s voice*. I'm in an unfamiliar room. Most likely, a copied world... I feel the presence of fauna. Stop recording...“

“Who are you?“ the speaker spoke quietly from the wall.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. You are still just inhabitants of another world or my imagination. There is no point in me answering you.“

“Starlight, look at her head... Isn’t that the crown that previously belonged to Twilight? Sunburst asked.“

“Where did you get this crown? Where did you get it?“ Celestia has already responded.

“Judging by your voice, you are Princess Celestia. No, more like her clone. The crown is mine. Do you want to take it away? Please try,“ it said quietly in a hoarse voice. “I just need to get a pair of alicorn horns.

“He’s clearly not friendly, princess! You should move away!“ Starlight commanded.

“Attention, auras of murder, threat and obvious rage have been detected,“ the base intercom announced.

“Yes, yes... In the techno world, the same crap was buzzing. The air and temperature here are ideal,“ there were notes of nostalgia in his voice.

“Raise the anti-magic barrier!“ Starlight ordered, after which the subject suddenly sank, as if under the weight of armor.

“Computer... Take the source of magic from the necklace on your chest,“ the subject ordered. “Activate combat mode, the target is alicorns,“ it rose from the floor and pointed its horn towards the crowd where everyone else was.

“He won’t be able to... there’s no magic there...“ Starlight whispered, her teeth quietly chattering with fear.

“We won’t allow it!“ the carriers of the elements shouted in unison, putting up their magical barrier.

A bright flash above the end of the enemy's horn shot a directed stream of magic towards the glass, burning through it, causing it to burst and fly apart. Two alicorns stood up to help, namely in holding the barrier. The rest, together with each other, held back the onslaught of his spell.

“This is very powerful... Princesses, leave! Rainbow Dash shouted.“

“Wait! Don't you think this magic seems very familiar?“ Luna responded.

“What's the difference? This stallion came out of nowhere and is brazenly attacking us! This unicorn can use magic without magic! It...“ Rainbow Dash looked at him and immediately forgot how to speak or even breathe. The wings are what got everyone confused and truly stunned. “A-alicorn?“ the pegasus said much more quietly.

He flew sharply towards them, breaking through the remains of the glass with his body and pounced on Celestia, knocking her onto her back and squeezing her shoulder with his hoof, immobilizing her. He quickly pulled out a scalpel from his bag and brought the sharp blade to her horn.

“Hey! I will not allow the princesses to be harmed in my presence!“ proclaimed the Spirit of Discord, who came out of nowhere.

“Oh, Discord... You've been gone for a long time. It’s interesting to see how you make faces,“ he said quietly, pointing the gun at him.

“Your toys are sexless against me...“ Shot. “Kh... aghh!“ Discord screamed hoarsely after a loud shot. He screamed, lying on the floor and writhing in pain. An object resembling a crossbow bolt was sticking out of the abdomen.

“Ah! Discord!!!“ Fluttershy quickly flew up to him, hugging him and trying to pull the strange thing out of his stomach.

“You will pay for this!“ Applejack was close enough to him to kick the offender, but that was not the case, she only flew a meter away from her blow. The ringing echoed with the blow. It would seem that she kicked with all her might, but the effect was minimal.

“Oooh, what a familiar aura. Come on, Applejack, show your strength, the element of Honesty…“ he spoke quietly.

“Twilight! Stop it! Are they friends of yours!“ Spike yelled loudly, looking at this brawl. “Take a closer look! You're hurting them!“ Everyone looked from Spike to the subject.

“Twilight?!“ everyone screamed in one voice, sharply and amazed.

He just snorted arrogantly.

“A rare world,“ he said quietly. “Although it’s surprising that the crown is in place.“ It's strange and new.

“We won’t let you harm anyone!“ Celestia and Luna sharply directed their magic at her.

“Shut the fuck up! Both!“ she shouted loudly in response, and it seemed that the mere sound of her voice broke the self-awareness and willpower of those around her, and both alicorns fell to the floor. Some kind of magical leashes made of magic plasma immediately appeared on their necks.

“Twi! Please stop...“ Spike begged on his knees, causing her to freeze, looking at him.

“You weren’t there. There was never Spike... Young Spike never... No! DID NOT HAVE! AGRGH!!” She walked away, quickly shaking her head. Then she stopped and directed an attentive glance at him.

She studied it... The suit folded, falling to the floor with a crash, giving free access to both the tail and mane, which fluttered in the same way as Celestia and Luna's. Soon she even took off her helmet to better see what color her Spike was.

Now no one had any doubt that Twilight was in front of them. True, she’s already grown up, but she’s still Twilight.

“Computer, Entry 109575. Quiet world. Locals are hostile, computer, analysis!“ he hummed, scanning the dragon. “No hostile aura detected. Okay, finish the analysis.“

“Twilight! Is that really you?“ Starlight Glimmer whispered barely audibly. Her smile spread across her face, and tears accumulated in the corners of her eyes.

“Hmm... The last time they called me that was many years ago...“ Twilight’s face, in turn, did not express any emotion. Her eyes were so empty that you could get lost in them, and the coldness emanating from her gaze could freeze the ocean.

“This got me hooked, thank you, Flatty, now go to sleep!“ Draconicus snapped his fingers towards Twilight, but she never fell asleep. “Um! Sleep! Do you hear? It's strange, I snap my fingers. Why...“

“Everything works, I just can’t sleep in the usual sense for you... Discord, are you a moron in this world too?“ Twilight gave him only a little attention.

“Ah... What?...“ Discord widened his yellow eyes and didn’t even know how to react to it. No one had ever expressed themselves like that in front of him or in front of the princesses, who lay quietly on their leashes.

“Twilight! If this is you, stop your madness! You're attacking your own friends!“

She turned her head to the side and raised an eyebrow questioningly.

“Hmmm... Friends, right? Were you my friends?!“ Twilight now screamed loudly and furiously at them.

“The situation is getting out of control...“ Sunburst whispered inaudibly.

“Hey, Twi! I am the Lord of Chaos! Discord! Don't you dare touch them!“

A sharp turn of her head in his direction and such a painful look. It was so heavy that it seemed like it could actually cut space, which made even Fluttershy feel uneasy. She backed away, hiding behind Discord.

“Twilight... What happened to you?“ Celestia said quietly, lowering her voice, still lying on the floor, not believing how she could change in such a short time, in just one month of absence.

“Three hundred years...“ Twilight said quietly, as if hearing her arguments, and answered in advance. Like a snake spitting out these words.

The ponies reactions varied. Some did not believe, some were confused, and some were surprised and scared.

“Attention, critical content of Dopamine...“ said the device flying near Twilight’s ear.

“Leave me alone, piece of iron. Let me at least stay in silence here for a while... I give up...“ Twi whispered quietly, looking at the entire crowd and simply lay down on the floor, obediently stretching her hooves forward and laying her head on the floor. The collars on the alicorns immediately disappeared. “Do whatever you want with me...“ Twilight said in conclusion.

“Luna!“ Celestia called loudly.

“Yes Sister!“ She directed her magic at Twilight, plunging her into a deep sleep, and she obediently obeyed the spell.

Soon everyone breathed freely when the conflict and brawl stopped.

“Discord? Who is this?“ Celestia raised her voice again.

“Twilight, definitely Twilight. But... Very... Well, age-related. She's an alicorn in her prime... And she has such a colossal amount of energy that, well... As much as I hate to say it! I can't hold a candle to her! Grgh... Not only can she control such volumes of magic, she can also withstand chaos alone.“

“Why is she acting like this?“ Celestia asked a little louder.

“She…“ Discord breathed out. “She suffered a lot... Alone... I think she is no longer the Twilight we know. And she, like a reasonable individual, acted as smartly as possible, since she surrendered to us. Which is good for us.“

* * *

“Princess, we examined her bags and found many strange artifacts and her diary.“

On the table were laid out many tools, Twilight's armor in parts, a very thick book, the very first pages of which had long been smeared with various substances. Sweat, tears, blood, some deposits and something else. Twilight herself was transferred to the prison hospital, and her body was carefully examined.

“And... Princess. They found something in another bag that you don’t like... said Sunburst.“

“What's there?“

“Horns... Lots of horns...“ Starlight pulled out a bag where, with a crunch, horns of alicorns, unicorns, and even parts of Discord’s body, of different colors, rolled from side to side.

“This is how she managed to hurt me... It's amazing!“ Discord looked at all this. It seems that he understood something that others did not understand.

“The princess, judging by the entries from the diaries, she became very dangerous, she personally erased entire worlds, continents and was merciless towards others.“ She used those horns as a source of energy, “Starlight inspected, peering at the latest notes and hastily reading between the lines.“ And the further it went, the shorter and shorter the notes became.

“This is terrible... We have to make sure she doesn't hurt anyone else. No matter how bitter I am, we will keep her in a sleepy state until we decide what to do with her,“ Celestia put forward the final verdict.

“Yes, Princess... Finish research with portals?“ Starlight asked again.

“Yes, they no longer make sense.“

* * *

Meanwhile, Luna and Celestia were talking in the prison hospital. They stood not far from Twilight lying in bed.

“How is she?“ Celestia asked the doctor.

“She, how can I put it better... She is now in a medicated sleep.“

“But we did not give such an order...“

“This is... not us... She is on drugs or some kind of drugs. In fact, she is completely healthy, I mean, physically... Well, almost... We sent her brain for a tomography, and it is slightly affected, most likely from the consequences of several strokes. Or worse, ruptures. But I’ll say it again, nothing threatens her health, but the psychological component...“

“Thank you, doctor, I understand you, we can somehow help her?“

“Even if they could, she most likely won’t let us do it.“

“Well, Luna... Can you get into her dream and find out what she dreams about or try to talk to her?“

“Hmm...“ she looked at Twilight with obvious reluctance. Then she turned her gaze to her older sister.

“Luna? Is there something wrong?“

“Sister, do you understand how cold my aura is? Remember my aura when I was…“ she swallowed, “Nightmare? And her aura is like sinking your hooves to the bottom of an icy ocean.“

“I understand,“ there was a sigh.

“I'm afraid of her!“ Luna screamed with some panic, immediately covering her mouth so as not to wake Twilight, even though she was sleeping. Now she looked so harmless, unarmed, but even now this pony seemed, well... dangerous. “I’ll talk to her, but you help me, I can combine our dreams into one.“

“Of course, sister, I will help you. What should be done?“

“You know, find somewhere comfortable to lie down and close your eyes.“

Luna ended up laying down right on her pillow made of magic. Celestia followed her sister's example and did the same. They both fell asleep. The image of a door appeared before them. Gray, so gloomy, even slightly tarred. In the center was Twilight's cutie mark.

“You see, sister, why this is slightly unpleasant, her consciousness is there...“ Luna walked up to the door, trying to open it.

But it only began to open with a creak. The sticky substance began to stretch from the inside like threads, like a cobweb. Only black. Soon it broke and fell. Both went inside.

The smell was the first thing that was wrong with this place. It feels like people were dying here, and a lot of people died. Mixed with sickening rotten meat. And in the middle of it all, Twilight sits in a comatose state.

“Twilight? It's you?“ the princesses inquired.

“Well, what are you going to try to do to me? Brainwash? By the way, that’s a good idea,“ Twilight sharply turned her gaze to Luna. “Your sister knows how to do this! Brainwash! And captivate the mind for decades!“

“Twilight. Why are you in such a disgusting place?“

“What do you want to see? Green meadows?“

Suddenly the dream changed to green meadows, the sun was burning brightly, but everything was dim, as if made of cardboard. Calm and emotionless.

“Wait, Twilight. We want to know why you left then? A month ago?“

“Month? A month, damn it! Fucking month?!“ the dimension literally shook her with rage and other negative emotions. And then she quietly froze. “Yes, yes... Sorry... I should be calmer... Hehe...“ she turned her back to them and began muttering something unintelligible.

“Twilight, we have given all the resources and opportunities to rescue you.“

“Fuck it. Hey Celestia, do you think your official friendship can change me? Come on, princess, think, think. Yes, I know I'm going too far! Shut up!“ she again began to mutter the remaining words, talking to herself.

“Twilight Sparkle!“

“Yes, I know my fucking name! What do you want to hear?“

“First of all, whose horns are in your bag?“ Celestia just asked calmly.

“Yours, Luna, Discord. Other unicorns and even a couple of mine...“

“For what?..“

“Survive, damn it! Survive! All! All! And that's it! Wanted to kill me!“ an enraged Twilight turned to them. The eyes were burning with fire from rage, the teeth were grinding until fine dust came out of the mouth. “You wanted to kill me! And you wanted to kill me, but in the end I cut everyone to pieces. Why do you think I surrendered to you?“

Both alicorns stood in horror, looking at their student. Twilight, having removed her hoof from her face and pulled it down demonstratively, condemning their stupidity with this gesture, exhaled. Her heavy breathing made it clear that she could barely contain herself and was trying to calm down.

“Let's just imagine that you are thrown from a vat of hydrogen sulfide into a vat of acid, then transferred to a vat of boiling oil. And if I lose control for even one moment, I'm done!“

“Twilight?“

“Enough! I don't even want to know this name. As soon as you call me that... I feel like vomiting. Even though we are in a dream! Just call me *it*, or at least *you*. That joyful sweet filly who rejoices at every new acquaintance does not exist and will never exist! I am a killer, a monster, a terror. But not the Element of Harmony.“

“You, tell us this. What happened to you?“ Celestia is trying to turn in the direction for the umpteenth time.

“What do you want to know?“ Twilight said more quietly.

“You do understand that you have returned home, right? You don't have to suffer anymore, you don't have to fight to survive anymore. You’re home…“ Celestia said more calmly.

“Four... Four similar worlds like this one. And every time I thought that I was returning home. The first three times I even had tears of sincere joy welling up, and after that I found another Twilight, and twice I had to kill her. Because suddenly they all turned against me and decided to finish me off. How is this time different?“

“There is no wrong Twilight here. It wasn’t, or rather,” Luna confirmed.“

“Wow, just think. A world where I am not!“

“Your crown, to your surprise, was with you.“

“Hmm... There is some truth in this, as my mind tells me and tries to prove to me that this world is still mine. But I still can’t believe it, how did I understand that hope dies last? Today she died...“

“Why? You're back!“

“Hey!!! Three hundred years! One month has passed here!“

“Perhaps the time frames in parallel worlds ran differently? And why didn't you just go back?“

“I couldn’t... I realized my mistake as soon as I entered, that’s all... I realized that I wouldn’t get out.“

“Ooh... You, listen to me again. Hear me, tell me what you experienced. I will try to endure everything without disgust and listen to you.“

“Are you sure? Your tender piece of pink substance in your head is not ready to process this.“

“In my thousand and one hundred years, I’m ready to hear something different...“ Celestia snorted.

“Fine. I killed. She killed children and old people. Other types. Entire nations, races. You. Whole worlds. I searched, I searched a lot. Bathed in shit. In the sewer. I didn’t sleep for months, injecting myself with numerous drugs. I was psychologically and physically tortured. At first they raped us, then they broke their hooves. Ribs. Scull. They tried to eat me alive three or four times. There's a brain parasite living in my head. He still makes me think before I act. Should I continue?“

“Yes,“ Celestia answered coldly.

“Okay... I killed Discord. Who tried to kill me. I was betrayed, they tried to burn me, drown me, crush me, enslave me. What else? Oh yes! Do you want to get lost?! I was in a desert, a radiation wasteland and a techno world. In a world where Nightmare swallowed everyone into an endless sleep and slowly tortured them in their sleep. Daybreaker tried to burn me alive, and I ended up drowning her in molten magma. Oh, did you know that intestines are warm? Because a bunch of yaks decided to trample me in the tundra. Yes. A-ha-ha-ha.“

“Stop! Enough! I...“ the student’s words brought tears to her eyes. And Luna was throwing up right there, in the corner.

“Would you like to see?“

“No! We do not want…“

“Of course... If even Discord vomits from this, you won’t be able to do it at all. That's it, get out of here. I... Everything you want to know, you can find out from my diary. Now let me rest... If I'm already at home. They will give me time to come to my senses, and if not, then just let them finish me off and end my suffering...“

She lowered her ears and her gaze to the floor. She forcefully threw them both out of their sleep. Those two groaned painfully already in their world.
