14th of December year 980

I was gently shaken awake, blinking slowly until I could see clearly, the black snout of the fluffy wolf standing over me, I got up and hugged said wolf, pressing my own face to her and staying close.

"Morning ma, what hour is it? I think I overslept, how did you sleep?" I scratched her neck and behind her ears gently, her being so close to me always makes me feel happier for some reason.

"Morning Onyx, it's 10am, I think, you didn't oversleep, you just went to sleep later than usual last night, and I slept well, specially after knowing you plan to do the right thing, it brought me calm and peace, but now let's get ready, go and wash up and then come down for breakfast." Knowing she slept well made me feel good, if she will do everything possible to give me a good life I will keep her happy.

"Ill make some bacon pancakes and pineapple smoothie with sprinkled gems to go along with it!" Oh that sounded delicious, making my tummy growl, she giggled at this and patted me with her paw as we moved apart, she left and I headed to the bathroom, deciding to take a quick shower as well at the end, I just scrubbed myself clean fast using neutral soap and then washed and dried my scales.

After exiting the bathroom I was fully awake and in a better mood, hungry so I rushed down the stairs and straight to the table, where mom had the food waiting for me.

We ate in silence as we both had a large appetite now, each ate a full plate of pancakes and in about half an hour we were done.

"Ahh, that was delicious as always! You want me to wash the dishes this time?" I let out a small burp and she answered with one of her own, we both shared a laugh.

"Sure sweetheart, you can wash the dishes, your magic makes it much easier than me having to use my maw to hold things, unlike earth ponies, I don't got those magic hooves." That was true, I took our plates away in my indigo aura, moving them to the sink and opening the faucet.

It was not difficult to handle telekinetic objects outside your field of view if you were familiar enough with the place, at home, I try to train my magic often, try to keep myself always using it for everything, from cooking to washing dishes to even scrubbing myself clean in the shower, always trying to keep my eyes closed.

The risk of using telekinesis blind was accidentally bumping the object you wanted to levitate against the walls or ceiling, or not being able to find said object that maybe you expect to be in a determined place and it's not, and also know where your tk field is concentrated at a certain time, but none of those required being super strong to practicing, any unicorn could, with enough use, cast telekinesis out of their sight, what was hard and almost impossible for most ponies was far reaching telekinesis.

For example, you see someone dropped a hundred bits coin and you want to grab it but you're half a block away, you can try and grab it but most likely you won't be able to reach with your field, was the telekinetic field only able to reach within a certain radius around you, and outside of that the spell would just stop working.

The TPR, meaning telekinetic potential radius was something I probably was going to see more of at school, now I just knew what if was from reading books on magic all day, mom would always bring me a new book when she had the time, I usually told her the topic and she got them from the royal library, the unrestricted section, she was able to get books from there with no hassle as long as she returned them in time.

Some unicorns had short TPR, others had longer ones, it was kind of like the arm length of a person, the longer the arm the further out they can grab things from, but this radius was able to be increased with proper training, guards usually trained this ability along with their spells, counter spells and magical talent or non magical talent if it was related to guard duty.

I had been lost in my thoughts for a while, but returned to the real world when wolf mom nuzzled my neck, I blinked and looked at her, pulled out from my nerdy thoughts. The plates were already done cleaning minutes ago.

"Son, I want you to do it, you say you would do it right? So please? Do the right thing and I'll also hold my end of the promise I have made to you." Her tone was soft, kind but also urgent and begging, she really wanted this, I could tell.

I knew she would ask this, I told her I would do it, we both knew that the sooner we got this out of the way, the better, I nodded.

"Yes, you're right I did say I would, I suppose there is no point in delaying it, bring it here please."

She left, and went upstairs, after a couple of minutes she returned, Spirit Gem in maw, she then dropped it on the table next to me, I grabbed the gem and looked at it, the almost black blue color was honestly nice, but I just knew keeping his soul in it would bring me trouble, serious trouble.

"Alright, time to do this, mom? I am afraid of what effects the transfer of this much information could do to me, I know adding so much memories to a brain can he very stressful if done too quickly, so... If something happens to me please carry me to bed and just wait until I wake up. Kay?"

"Oh, I didn't think of that! Wait... Are you sure this is safe? Maybe... I don't know." She seemed to grow unsure but I just went for it.

"Welp one way to find out then." I looked at the gem, focusing my intent to absorb it's knowledge and destroy the consciousness of the being inside, freeing his soul in the process to be reborn.

"Absorb" I say out loud and then the gem starts to glow brightly, as soon as I see the blue light, my body stops responding to me, my head and paws, still holding the gemstone firmly, fall limply on the table, my eyes half open and slowly closing until I lose consciousness completely.

POV Shift Sylf

Right as I was about to tell him to not absorb the gem, he does it, I was thinking how to say that even after telling him it was the right thing to do, instead of dealing with that evil, but he went ahead and absorbed it before I could even start to speak, I gasped as he fell on the table, my heart suddenly began beating faster and faster as I feared the worst, he was completely still and his eyes were half open, but they slowly closed, the gemstone firmly held in his claws, seemingly stuck to him, even in his unconscious state he clinged to it.

Onyx has entered a magically induced coma, required to be able to absorb the knowledge inside of the Spirit Gem, the process can take up to a week, meanwhile Onyx will be completely defenseless. Taking away the Spirit Gem from his body may result in brain damage, bleeding and possible death, for his safety the object has been temporarily fused with his paws and the only way to remove it would be by cutting them off.

Oh dear... This was my doing, my idea, now he was going to stay asleep for a week, but what about his need for water? Would he get thirsty? Well, no matter I need to get things ready, take him to bed and make him comfortable, this will be like back with my tribe, taking care of newborn pups.

Well I can't do anything but my best then, I'm his mother and there is no way I will let my son down in his moment of weakness!

I approached and gently slid my head under his chest, pushing the table and chairs aside with my body quite easily, then once he was on my neck I pulled him up, slowly correcting the position until he was balanced on top of my neck, his body was heavy for someone of such a size, he was after all heavily armored by nature.

But I'm a strong wolf, I have lifted heavier during basic training five years ago, and I could lift about 2 fully grown earth ponies and carry them at the same time with ease, probably double that if I could walk slowly.

I headed upstairs, very carefully holding him stable and balanced by lowering my front and lifting my rear as I went up the stairs, it would look weird for anyone looking at me, but no one else was home.

Once upstairs I carried him into our room, grabbed the door handle with my maw and opened slowly, and walked and stood on the bed, sideways, then once his head was where I wanted it and his body was all on the bed, I dropped him off gently.

He laid there, face down and in a clearly uncomfortable position, his rump and tail were to the side and his front arms to one side, paws fused together with the gemstone, it was bizarre to see you close, his flesh and scales were kind of melted over the smooth shining surface of the stone, the glow had not diminished at all, it seemed to be steady.

I tried to push him to lay on his side more comfortably, trying to straighten his posture to be more or less even, using my snout to gently nudge him into what I consider a good sleeping position for him, I know he usually sleeps curled into a circle, usually close to my belly and chest I tend to sleep around him. The way he is now I can do that too.

Well, now he's comfy, I hope, laying down next to him I give him a few wolf kisses and nuzzles, I was going to miss talking to him...

"I hope you're safe in there my precious son, I'll keep watch over you every day."

POV shift Onyx

I was in a vast dark blue sea, there was no sky, no ground, no horizon.

But there was someone here with me, was I... Inside the gem? I wasn't sure, maybe i just connected to it to absorb it, I felt different, like as if I was reading a book on spells, knowledge about the nature of magic, different methods of using a same spell, but the information was not coming all at once, it was more like learning normally, just much faster and I didn't need to re-read it several times, I just got remembered everything as it came.

I felt a presence, an evil presence manifest before me, it was an amorphous mass of dark blue, a blob that had no real shape, it tried to resemble an unicorn but it was not able to hold its form for long, it spoke.

"You did it, what you said you didn't want to do." I stayed silent, staring at it, it was hard to read emotions on this blob, but the voice a clear tone, it was a mixture between sad and disappointed.

"I feel my memories slipping away, my knowledge, even now I barely remember the basics that Starswirl taught me, I feel my knowledge about spells dissolving, you weren't lying when you said you could do that, now I see." I didn't have much to say to this being, I value my mom over anything he could teach me, he was better used as a resource than as a teacher, I know he was trying to influence me before, push me away from Sylf and I was naive enough to fall for it, not anymore.

"Ah, you decided to ignore me? I will still say this, once you gain all my knowledge and my consciousness is fully wiped, I hope you make good use of my artifact, it will hold your soul fully protected, maybe if you complete the process I started and find a suitable body you can be reborn."

I raised an eye ridge, that explains why he had this gem, and why it's a legendary artifact, it was a way of storing a consciousness, perhaps magically preserve continuity? I assume my special powers granted to me by the being who sent me here are the only things that allowed me to absorb this guy's knowledge, not all of it, maybe because that would cause issues, I imagined getting decades worth of knowledge at once was deadly or at least would leave me severe brain damaged if it was done quickly, and slowly it would take too long and put me at too much risk, ponies would know if I stopped going out for years, they would inform others and world would get around.

"Ah, that got you interested, you seemed lost in though for a minute. You know ever since I died, my existence became nothing more than to be here, alone and with nothing to do but think to myself, at first I thought I wanted to make you suffer, that I wanted you dead, but now I don't care, I'm glad you decided to destroy me." I give him a confused look, but I suppose being trapped here alone with not even being able to breathe or move, with no senses to the outside was the most extreme form of sensory deprivation.

His form ripples constantly and slowly loses parts that become a mist and flow towards me, is that his knowledge? What else could it be.

"Im glad because I don't want to spend an eternity trapped here, unable to feel touch or see, at first the thought of teaching you felt like an insult, I wanted you to die but I also realized i could make you suffer just by changing you over time, teaching you to be more like me, you see, young minds are the most malleable, I could try and turn you against those you love, slowly over time."

I knew it, I had been naive to think I could outwit him...

"But now I think I would rather die again than having to deal with a worthless colt like you, I seriously hope my knowledge over the occult brings you misery and death like it brought those I used it on." He said with a tone of pure hatred and disgust, the way he spoke shook me out of my calm state and made me flinch, his form seemed to ripple more and become slightly monstrous, he rushed me and formed claws and his body became pointier and more dangerous, I tried to block with my paws.

But the impact did absolutely nothing, his form flattened against me as soon as he impacted, but I didn't even feel it, it was like being hit with claws made of smoke.

This gave pause to the being, but it resumed it's attacks, hitting me over and over, every time his blob of a body deformed and reformed, but my form was not affected, at least not more than a flinch at the sudden movement.

"It's useless, you can't hurt me, this is not your mind remember?" I answered, realizing what was happening, he tried to use his form to attack, but while he had a direct connection to my mind, he did not have a mind, he couldn't posses me either, the process of trapping his consciousness inside this gem was not the same as how a ghost formed, ghosts were echos of negative energies manifested from reality, they weren't souls of the dead or something like that, at least as far as I knew.

"Without a mind of your own, your attacks are no more than empty gestures, you don't have a body anymore, you are just a consciousness holding onto a soul, trapped inside a very complex spell that mimicks a small part of the brain within a gemstone."

I realized this was the case, his knowledge was flowing into me, and now I knew what this gem was, I learned it in realtime as I spoke, the construction of such a complex spell was an impressive feat of magic, not only in terms of power, but even more so precision.

The artificial hippocampus was extremely complex, it would take years for someone with already extensive knowledge of spell creation and enchanting to even being to theorize this, the precision in the making of the enchantment was hard to believe could be achieved.

Even yet, the gem could only contain selected memories, not completely everything that the creature experienced, there was a system to select what types of memories it would value the most, and what types of memories it would simply ignore and not store, I assumed that he configured it to store memories that allowed him to keep his magic, knowledge and spells, personality and maybe some other things like important locations, maybe knowledge about enemies and locations? I couldn't say for certain.

I also learned that the memories were stored in small resolution, sort of like a very low quality video, some things were given priority like runic symbols and spell matrixes, having higher resolutions.

He kept trying to attack, but it didn't even distract me anymore, I could only see the shape when I opened my eyes, but I felt nothing, I was more interested in going over my newly gained knowledge, how fascinating!

I learned this legendary artifact was not created by Post Mortem but merely configured by him to receive his consciousness and soul, if he happened to die.

Could I use this to save myself or mom? Yes, but I would need a body in living condition, yet somehow without a soul in it.

It was a hurdle I had to still resolve, but I didn't want to worry for now, I tried to relax, let the newly acquired knowledge wash over me and not worry about anything else.

I knew that the previous owner of the memories I was obtaining was desperately trying to get rid of me, insulting me and yelling at me like a wild animal, as his current state made it impossible for him to attack he resorted to trying to distract me, but I knew I was not in danger, so I just rested and started to tune out the sense of sound, or as close as sound as something that talked to my brain directly could be considered.

Having conscious control of one's unconscious was by definition, impossible, but I could sort of ignore his voice and tune it out as sometimes we tune out the sound of the rain when focused on something else.

I felt time go by, probably days, I didn't feel tired and I didn't feel sleepy, all the new information I was leaning felt too stimulating to try to sleep, it was like rush every time and a strong urge to go and use magic to see it at work, I had no idea what using magic here would do, what it I blow up the gem from the inside? What if I accidentally use my magic in the outside of this place and destroy my house?

Instead I just meditated, easing the absorption of information inside my brain, the pressure was constant in my mind, all this new memories were causing a moderate amount of stress to the neurons, but it was not enough to damage them, it was just right, fast enough to make this process shorter but slow enough to not hurt me in the process, now I understood why I needed to be in an induced coma, to reduce the use of the brain and focus it exclusively on the task at hand.

Several days later

I don't know how much time has passed, but I know at some point he had stopped attacking me, and insulting me, by now it was barely visible and it flickered in and out of existence, soon all will be gone, good.

A few minutes later a an intense glow surrounded me, a feeling of euphoria spread over my body, like intense satisfaction after reaching a big and important goal I had strived for a long time.

I opened my eyes to see the tiny mote of consciousness dissolve into nothingness, a pale form drifting away from it, probably the soul? Wasn't sure but I felt new power flow through me, making me close my eyes and and focus on the amazing sensation.

Onyx has gained 15000 EXP! Onyx has leveled up to level 30! 2534/23725

I blinked and found myself looking to the side of the bed, the closet, my room, I was back in my room! But... It was all very bright, huh? Why is everything so bright?!

"Onyx! Yes! You're finally back, I'm so happy you're back!" I was suddenly snuggled by a very eager oversized wolf from behind, who grabbed onto me with her legs and held me close against her chest, her very fluffy and warm chest, I purred softly like a cat, the spirit gem now detaching from my claws like an old scab, my scales quickly closing up and healing, the gem went back into my inventory.

"Hi mom, I'm glad to see you again too, but... Why is everything so bright? The light is off, isn't it?" I asked, the magical light was off, I could see that much but everywhere I looked was like if a strong flashlight was aimed there.

"Son! What's happening? Your eyes are glowing very bright white... Are you feeling okay? S-should we go to the hospital?" Sylf asked with concern, I looked at her but she covered her face with a paw, seems my eyes were indeed shining brightly, but nothing hurt, in fact I felt better than ever! Not only the rush of leveling up but also a newfound sense of power, I had just unlocked something amazing! I knew spells now that would allow me to do incredible things, but I focused on the now, I had to calm her down.

"Oh don't worry ma, it's nothing! I feel awesome~ you have no idea how much more I can do now, the glow, I know what it is! Don't worry it's just the excess magic escaping my body, it will slowly go away in a few minutes." I answered her calmly, I now knew what most magical phenomena were, no more was I going to be confused by anything I hadn't read on my books, my education was really lacking before, but I also could not really say I knew everything, because I understand that the information I have is several hundreds of years out of date, and perhaps new theories have been proven and older ones disproven.

"Thank goodness Onyx... You scared me, I've been very worried all week, I asked for sick leave from work until you were awake, because I didn't want to leave you alone, I also had to tell my coltfriend I would only see him for a few hours each day, he just left for work so you just missed him." Mom explained softly while we cuddled, she was clearly very concerned and I was thankful she looked after me while I was asleep.

"Momma I love you! Thanks for taking care of me while I slept... I hope it wasn't much of an issue, sorry about it, I didn't know I would just fall asleep like that for so long." I said the last part with my ears lowered, I didn't want to worry her, never was my intention.

"Oh, and congratulations on getting a coltfriend by the way, I'm glad you two became a couple, he clearly is a good pony for you, I bet you two are adorable together mom!" She giggled and nuzzled me more and licked my snout from above, couldn't help but laugh, i was a bit ticklish and mom took advantage of that well.

"Hahahah n-no momma wait haha that tickles!" I squirmed as she continued the tickling with her tongue, my legs kicked weakly at the air was I struggled but she was stronger and bigger, easily holding me in place, and I wasn't exactly trying for real to escape.

"You are very sweet with your words, I couldn't help it, you deserve a good tickling for having me so worried, not saying it's your fault or anything, just... I missed you, you are like a smooth, refreshingly cool and very adorable plushie, and I like cold, believe it or not, we are both from cold weather remember? Where I was born, it was always freezing cold, even as a pup I was used to the cold, you bring familiarity and I appreciate that, I'm glad you're cold blooded, I love you son."

Her words were playful at first but she was serious, she loves me just the way I am, I sometimes wondered if my friends or even mom wasn't bothered by the fact that I emit a slight cold and my body is not warm at all, only gets warm on the outside if i lay out in the sun for a long time in a hot day.

But knowing she loves me just like I am felt like all of those worries were insignificant, I am loved and that's the only thing that matters.

Suddenly three knock were heard coming from the door, they were loud but not impolite, just basically what hooves on wood sounded like, if a bit more metallic.

Who could be here now?

"I'll go son, you head to the bathroom and shower, you... Kinda stink if I'm honest, I did my best to wash you and everything but you haven't had a proper shower in a week." I blinked, not expecting that, but then sniffed myself, and recoiled in disgust, quickly nodding and running to the bathroom I did my business and headed straight to the shower afterwards, this time cleaning myself properly.

POV Celestia, half an hour earlier

I was still processing the fact that a new Alicorn had managed to ascend, a pegasus from a distant village in the middle of nowhere, with earth pony parents to booth, with no proper magical education, the incident was confusing and even a week later I still struggled to comprehend how it could happen, then again my sister and I had ascended as well right after having discovered our talents, but i felt it was not comparable.

Yet Cadenza had, with her love magic amplified by a magical artifact, managed to undo it's effect and convince the mare that used it to stand down and that she was in the wrong, all without a single attack spell.

She had earned her ascension to be sure, I felt her magic all the way from here, it was clear she has earned her place, yet she was still a filly, only eight years old, I decided she will assist the Upper Canterlot Elementary, then once she finished there she will assist my school, her destiny is a bright one, I can tell because of her cutie mark being the Crystal Heart, she surely will have a role to play in the return of the Crystal Empire.

While I reminisced, and at the same time signed the forms I had already read over, I often had my secretary read them for me out loud and the ones I approved would go to one side and the ones I disapproved would go to the other, then I simply signed the ones i approved, stamped the okay on them and moved on, stamping the denied forms with a negative.

As I was about to sign, I dropped the quill, a sudden and very intense magical pulse washed over me, it felt somewhat similar to the pulse from Cadence's ascension, but it was not the same, it was stronger, much stronger, meaning it was closer, probably within Canterlot, the energy also felt much different, it was clearly not of pony origin, but which other creatures had this much magic? I know some creatures have magic but they usually don't live near Equestria.

I had to investigate, I quickly casted the detect magic spell, allowing me to see the bright point of pure indigo energy glowing like a beacon even though the entire castle walls, even with all the enchantments the castle had, this creature's emissions are much much larger than all of those combined.

I decided to be a bit more subtle, instead of marching in with a whole contingent of guards, I wanted to go alone, I got up and headed for the door, the guards there saluted me, I just ignored them and walked to a private room, closed the doors behind me and changed my shape to that of an unicorn mare, one of my disguises that the guards at the castle knew, so I wouldn't be stopped, it was of course highly confidential, they never could tell other ponies who I was in my disguise, and were instructed to treat me as just another pony, but without denying me access, it was most convenient.

Once outside the castle, I walked down and approached the slowly diminishing bonfire of arcane might, it was of course stabilizing and the excess magic was being reabsorbed and condensed, this usually happened to all beings to ascended, first they would shine brightly like a star, then they would stabilize and the energy would condense in their bodies, this process usually took a few hours to a day, during that time they could be located, by ponies who detected the first pulse.

As I approached, I started to suspect what had happened, the light was coming from the house I had given to those two newcomers a few years ago.

Sylf had risen through the ranks and had earned her position, she is nicknamed The Meteor, because her rush attack is strong enough to break through any shield a battle mage can put up, and break any formations, even those made up of earth ponies, and of course she holds back, she can clearly do more than just break formations, or shields.

She is well liked amongst the guard force because she is friendly, good tempered and, as some mares say, very good to look at, stallions however are intimidated by her and tend to look for more submissive mares, her appearance alone and disposition seem to make everypony think of her as a total hardflank, and she is, but she also has a son of her own, who is the sole reason she agreed to start her career as a royal guard.

But her son, I didn't know a lot about him, other than his extremely odd coloration and ability to use limited telepathy, he was a mystery, there were no records of him other than his school information, no detailed medical analisis, he had not consented to tests of any kind other than one doctor check up before starting school that was just visual.

What bothered me more than anything was his species, dragons have always been a thorn on Equestria's side, they have hurt ponies before, and they have abused their power to do nefarious seeds.

I approved at the house in about half an hour, it was definitively here, the outburst was condensing back quickly as the magic stabilized, I knocked the door tree times and waited.

After a few minutes I heard Sylf's voice, or at least the simulation of it through her magical amulet.

"Coming!" Then she opened the door, a honest and happy smile on her face, I wonder what happened that made her so happy, upon seeing me however, her smile faltered, becoming more of a neutral face.

"Good evening First Lieutenant Sylf, I'm with the Royal Guard and I would like to discuss some important matters with you, may I please come in?"

"Yes of course, come in, follow me." She answered, I closed the door behind us with my telekinesis.

I walked in, admiring the inside of the house, I had never been here before, it was clear they had added their own touch to the place, new decorations, some paintings adorned the walls, there were crystal magical lights hanging from the ceiling, it was much better than the barebones home I had prepared for them.

She invited me over to the living room, where there were the sofas the house came with, but covered with nice cushions and sofa covers made of imported silks, I can appreciate the practicality of improved upon what you have, rather than getting something new for no good reason.

I sat down on the sofa, and she then turned to me and bowed deeply, her snout almost to the ground.

"Welcome to my humble home, your highness, how may I help you?" She said still keeping her head bowed.

"At ease Sylf, please come sit next to me" with that she stood back up reluctantly, climbed the couch, I transformed back to my real form, now that we were in private, making the wolf move the the side to give me room now i was higher than her instead of the other way around.

"Oh, sorry, I have come to check on you two, how is your son? How have you enjoyed your vacation?" I tried to make small talk and hopefully get her to put her guard down around me.

"Y-you come to check up on us? What happened? My son is fine, he had been feeling a bit under the weather since last week but recently he recovered completely, now he is taking a shower probably polishing his scales and oiling them too, he takes good care of himself, and the vacation? So far so good, it has been a very good month, your highness, I am feeling happy now that my son is all good again." She smiled as she spoke about her son, she clearly had a good week, but I was curious as to what happened to Onyx, he was sick? And... Did that have anything to do with his magic outburst? He was a dragon, so of course he would not have ascended into an Alicorn, but then what had just happened?

"Can you tell me more about his disease? What was wrong with him? What were the symptoms?" She seemed to hesitate at this, her expression worried.

"He was... Very sleepy all day, like he would constantly fall asleep, he is usually full of energy so I worried, then he got better, today, his eyes were also producing light for some reason, it was as if he emitted light from them, he said everything was too bright too, but it started to go away and when I left, he was almost back to normal, what can you make of that Princess?" That was it? What did he do to suddenly increase in power like that? He didn't do anything other than being sleepy for a week? The last symptom, the eyes that emit light was a common side effect of ascension or some other very powerful magic phenomena as the excess magic looked for ways to escape the body, but what did he do? He was a hatchling! the same age as Cadenza...

Was this related to her? No, he was a dragon, dragons aren't my subjects, they don't represent Harmony, none of the other species are worthy enough to be chosen.

A sound of claws on wood suddenly was heard, as a silver dragon walked down the stairs, a towel on his head as he hummed to himself before yelling.

"Mom? Did they leave already? Just came out the shower, and I'm kinda hungry so Ill make some scrambled eggs!" He announced loudly, without even turning to look, his scales were very shiny and smooth, his horns had started to grow and were small nubs at the back of his head, two onyx black horns, very fitting for him.

"Onyx, come here this instant young dragon! And show some respect to our guest!" Sylf said sounding firm but not screaming, yet he still heard it and came back, looking confused until he spotted me, his eyes still had a slightly glow to them from the outburst, but other ponies would just think it was light reflecting out of them.

"Lt. Sylf please, leave us, I need to talk to him alone, I would appreciate if you didn't listen in, so go outside and go for a walk, I'll contact you telepathically when we are done, okay?" She hesitated but nodded and stood up, bowing quickly and leaving out the door.

He watched her leave without a word and then looked at me, now his mom was out of the equation.

His face went from relaxed and carefree to looking slightly pale when he realized he was alone with me.

His limbs tensed and seemingly in full fight or flight mode. Was I really that terrifying to him? Good, dragons are a danger and they only behave because they fear me, but I had to admit he was adorable for a small dragon, he had big eyes, not as big as ponies but still bigger than adult dragons, in proportion to their bodies, he had also an appealing color, if my sister was here, she would appreciate his pure silver color greatly, she was always more fond of silver, but I preferred gold.

Now that there were no one but us i could make this dragon know his place before he got to the age where dragons became much more wild, making him know fear and respect, while it would cause resentment, it would make him know that if he tried anything with my little ponies, he would suffer the consequences.

I smiled at him slightly, a hint of mischievousness in my tone, I asked with a sweet innocent voice.

"Aren't you going to bow, little one?" His face was hilarious, he was almost paralyzed with fear, then he tried to bow as quickly as possible, ending up smashing his snout comically on the wooden floor, a small pained gasp left him, but he didn't move from there.

He really lacked manners, probably not used to bow, ponies were taught to bow to royalty, so why wasn't he taught that?

I giggled behind a hoof, watching as the dragon shook slightly, he was probably thinking I was serious.

"Hahaha relax, little Onyx, I was just playing a little joke, you don't have to bow to me in your own house, I was just surprised by your casual tone and the way you spoke as if I wasn't here, so in return I decided to play a little prank, now come and sit here in front of me, we have to talk." He slowly looked up at me, his face contorted in a combination of embarrassed, scared and disappointed, there were tears threatening to come out, and at the corners of his eyes.

"Y-yes your highness, i-im sorry your highness, I was just really hungry, I didn't mean to disrespect you, Princess." A definitive improvement compared to his dismissive tone earlier, good, he may yet make a good subject, dragons only knew strength, a show of strength and superiority usually put them in their place, even if it was a joke, he got the message from it.

I had to deal with upstart dragons that wanted to take over cities many times, I wasn't going to let this one just think he could do whatever he wanted, the first time I had met him there were too many guards watching, and he was probably too young to understand what I would have told him, but now he was almost a teen, mature enough to understand that I wouldn't let him touch my ponies, ever. But first I had to find out more about his outburst.

"Oh it's fine, little Onyx, you are as adorable as the day I met you, I just wanted to ask you a few questions about your... Disease your mom said you had, you were very sleepy for a whole week right?" He blinks at this, seemingly confused, but quickly nods, trying to regain his composure.

"Y-yeah, it was weird, at first I was fine but one day I started to feel sleepy more and more often, then... After a week I just suddenly recovered, awoke feeling full of energy and... My eyes were glowing a lot, that happened, like half an hour ago, that I woke up... But they went slowly back to normal, then I went to take a shower, and... I came back, again I apologize for my behavior Princess Celestia, I had trouble eating while I was sick." He tried to sound polite but the undertone of hurt in his voice gave him away, he was not going to let that little prank go, he took it seriously and he was hurt, did I go too far? No.

He deserved that, for making me come all the way here, maybe it was just a magical disease of dragons that generated similar effects as a magical outburst, but I didn't know much about dragons except how to destroy them, they were annoying to fight, because of their resistance to heat and magic, but they were not immune to it, I decided to try one last thing to not feel like I wasted my time, this was not gonna earn me any brownie points but he would not dare to lie to me.

"Are you able to use magic, Onyx? Other than telepathy, I know you can do that, please tell me the truth, I will know if you lie to me, and you do not want to lie to me, hatchling." I announced with a serious tone, putting a bit of emphasis on the last part.

He once again showed intense fear, his ears lowering slowly and his eyes looked away, a resigned expression on his face.

"I-i can... Yes I can use magic your Highness, I started to read and practice a few years ago with books from the library, I really like magic, I always have wanted to learn ever since I saw a unicorn levitate objects." He was telling the truth, I could see in his eyes, I could also see he didn't want to admit this.

"Show me, use some spell, any spell you know." He slowly nodded and seemed to think for a minute, probably trying to remember the spell matrix, then he aimed his snout at the floor and made a drawing of himself on the wooden floor, made of white ink, then he made it disappear, and made a small shower of purple sparks on top of himself, then he aimed at the air air and another small glow of magic and the sound of a bell similar to those used in doors came from the air.

"That's good! You used Prestidigitation properly, it's clear you can use small cantrips, but what about other, higher tiers of spells?" He looked unsure at this, he probably didn't want to embarrass himself.

"I can, Princess Celestia, do you want to see?" He asked with a slight glint of hope in his eyes, when it came to magic, it seems he was eager to show it.

"Of course Onyx, it's not everyday I meet a dragon who can use magic, the only ponies who can are the unicorn's, at least directly casting it. I have never seen a dragon cast a spell before, and I must say it's quite a shock! Now come on, use a harder spell." He nodded and his maw opened slightly then he began to shrink in size, until he was about the size of a cat, but keeping his body proportions, he remained like that, impressive, only 8 years old and able to cast tier 3 spells!
That was extremely rare, most foals could only cast tier 1 spells and rarely tier 2 spells, even talented unicorns of that age couldn't always cast tier 3 spells, they just simply weren't powerful enough, and a concentration spell on top of that? Those were usually the hardest for foals because they minds couldn't concentrate as well.

"Very amazing, magnificent job with the spells, thank you! So you were the one who had a magic outburst then, I felt it from the castle, we must get you examined properly Onyx, you are a unique case of study and we could learn a lot about the nature of magic and your species if you would just let us give you a thorough examination, blood tests, tissue samples and more." He didn't like that, he was looking at me like I had just told him he was going to be executed.

"I want to have you studied by the scientist at the Biology center. Your mom had the tests done and she didn't mind, so you should too Onyx." He calmed down slightly at this but he still wasn't happy.

"I-i don't wanna, that sounds painful and I don't like needles or any of that..." His voice sounded small and scared, but he stood up for himself.

"You'll be fine, you are a big and strong dragon, aren't you?" He was not, he was smaller than a foal his age, but taking advantage of his dragon pride was easy, dragons were extremely prideful, challenging their pride was a sure way of getting them to do something, even if that was self destructive.

"I'm not, I'm a hatchling still, and you, Princess were a lot less mean when I first met you, I feel very sad you treated me like this, you know what were my last thoughts when we parted the last time we met?" His words were surprising, he didn't sound like a dragon at all, he sounded really hurt and sad, and I could see that in his eyes as well.

"No, dragon, what were they?" I asked coldly, his gaze grew even sadder at this, tears forming at the corners of his eyes.

"I thought... I regret not having given you a hug, because I didn't want to seem disrespectful, you are so pretty and you were so nice to us... I thought... Maybe you really were a good princess." I didn't know what to say, I wanted to dismiss his words as nonsense, a dragon was not a creature of harmony, they didn't like hugs, they didn't show affection.

"But I see now, I was wrong, either you just are horrible to everypony or just me, and I haven't read anything about you being bad to other ponies, so why?" He was starting to cross the line, I needed to put him in his place.

"You are on thin ice dragon! the reason is simple, you are a destructive and dangerous monster, you may not want to do anything bad yet, but wait until your dragon instincts kick in, once you reach adolescence, you will desperately search for a mate, and dragons are ferocious, I have saved countless mares and stallions from dragons before, captured by them and used for pleasure, many times they came back traumatized, thinking they belonged to the dragon, convinced they wanted to be with them forever, that they loved them."

"The reason I am showing you your place now, kindly and without pain is because if you ever try to take any stallion or mare for yourself, to add to your hoard, I will personally punish you, dragons and ponies can't mate together, it's an abomination, and I refuse to accept it."

POV shift Onyx

This was horrible, she was that type of pony, why was she so against dragons being with ponies? But what she said sounds like she just ruined other's relationships because of her own twisted view on interspecies relationships, she hated non ponies!

She either really hated dragons or just didn't want anypony to be outside of a strict pony to pony relationship, or there were some sort of species that were okay and not others?

"But why Princess? Why do you hate dragons so much? Mommy says I'm a very good dragon, I love ponies, all my friends are ponies, why is it wrong if I want to be with them? How is it different from pony herds?" This was the wrong thing to ask, she grabbed me by the neck in her telekinesis, choking me harshly, I squirmed trying to break free, she was not trying to kill me, but punish me, otherwise she could have just ripped my head off, her magic was overwhelmingly powerful, I could not escape.

"Because dragons produce dangerous offspring, the reason is that if dragon and pony relationships became common, pony society would be negatively affected, Kirin is what happens when a pony mare and a dragon stallion mate, and Kirins are similar to unicorns, until they get emotional, then they erupt into a deadly and dangerous creature that can burn houses down with its mere proximity, the Nirik!"

I whimpered in pain in her grasp, she dropped me, and I stared at her, unable to believe she would just do that, but decided to ask what I wanted to know either way.

"B-but... Why not just educate the ponies and dragons instead of forcing them away? And where did the Kirin go once they are born?"

"I have tried before, but I prefer not having to deal with them and not have neither dragons or Kirin make the life of my little ponies more dangerous and less peaceful, they are just a danger to get rid off, and that is what I did, I sent all the Kirin away, outside of Equestria, where the oldest Kirin would take care of the youngest, every time a Kirin comes up I send them to that secret Kirin village, while I'm not found of them, they are still half ponies." A small mercy, but I wondered about the dragons.

"A-and what about....the dragons?" She glared at me for daring to ask.

"They have two options, they either leave Equestria or they are made unable to procreate"
I couldn't believe it, her words stung worse than being stabbed, I started crying silently as the words she said sunk in, this was... Just horrifying!

"Princess... Why? Ponies are going to be fine living alongside other species, even Kirin! Even dragons! You would hurt someone so horribly just because of a small possibility that an accident could happen?"

"I use alchemy to suppress their sexual desire completely, I don't... Neuter them, Onyx!" She said giving me telekinetic smacking to the head, I didn't really care she did this, I was still deeply upset, sure it was better than what I thought, but still, so very unfair, and I haven't even seen dragons other than me here! Was I the only one? Some did visit the castle rarely but they didn't stay long.

"Princess... Please, I know you are better than this! I know you have virtues, you are a good pony in there, in your heart, please stop doing that to dragons, there are not even many dragons within Equestria in the first place, right? I haven't seen one in Canterlot before." I try to convince her, giving my reasoning.

"You are... Right in saying there aren't many dragons, and most dragons don't live in the cities, a few live in mayor cities but they tend to stay withing their own communities, and as long as they do that they aren't forced to drink the potions, dragon on dragon relationships are acceptable, but... I still don't like your kind." She said a bit less hatefully, but why? I suppose dragons did something to somepony in the past, or her.

I walked up to her, despite my fear of her, I slowly climbed the couch, and gently hugged her midsection, crying silently against her fur, I wanted to show her I wasn't ever going to hurt ponies like that, and despite her words and actions, I wouldn't fight her with violence, not now at least.

"Princess pease... You have to stop that law, I beg you! I know you want to be a good pony and help keep your ponies safe, but this is not the right way to do it, im going to help you, if you stop that cruel law against dragons I'll do something for you in return that I'm sure you'll like." I was hopeful, she had not pushed me away, but she didn't return the hug either, I slowly blinked and looked up at her, she looked thoughtful.

A tired sigh escaped her, but she nodded, curiosity in her tone, and less hostility.

"Hmm fine, but you must tell me what you'll help me with, it better be good! If you do tell me then I promise ill make that law go, it was very old anyways, it has not seen use in centuries, there must be 3 or 4 dozen dragons in Equestria that we know off, the rest live in forests or mountains, the law was only really applicable for city dragons, and here in Canterlot only you live." I suppose that wasn't as bad, but why did she had to make me suffer so much? She must be taking her frustrations out on me, I almost laugh at the irony, who knew the Princess was a big time dragon bully? honestly I was still crying, but the thought was amusing.

"So....only me in Canterlot, what a reassuring thought." I said with a depressed tone, gently caressing the pony who has been bullying me for the past two hours, she seemed to relax as I massaged her body, she had a really soft fur hiding her muscles, she was probably the strongest built pony ever even if her form was the most elegant.

"I-i suppose that being the only one affected by such a law just because you want to live happy, is not exactly fair... But I'm still curious what you think you can help me with?" Well she had a much less aggressive tone now, my massages and crying and begging were making an effect on her meanness.

"You won't... Hurt me if I tell you?" I asked her with concern, still afraid she will go on about how I was planning to steal her ponies for my hoard or something, either dragons were like super grabby here or she personally had a vendetta against our kind, I think the second one the truth.

"Is it really that bad?" She answered with an upset expression, I shook my head, it wasn't exactly a bad thing, she just may take it wrong.

"No no, but you did smack me around and choke me for just asking why before, I suppose you were upset or angry about something, and since dragons aren't ponies... And no one is around, you can just hurt me as much as you want, and... Sure I'll let you, I won't even tell my mom, just please... Please let me live a happy life, I promise all I'm doing is trying to help you get your sister back!" I couldn't help and broke into sobs again, holding her tightly, i didn't want to fall in love with somepony and then realize I wouldn't be able to be with them, i would prefer to be hated by her and even pushed around, smacked, chocked or anything, rather than suffering from being unable to satisfy a future potential special somepony.

"Y-you know about her? Onyx?" She asked softly, I was too chocked up crying to answer, but I tried to calm down, she did something unexpected, and started to caress my back and head, very softly with her hoof, it helped me calm down, eventually I was able to breathe more or less normally, but I had trouble speaking yet, I wiped my nose on the couch cover and finally I was able to make words again.

"I-i do....I know she has been trapped in the moon, she has been possessed by a creature that feeds on negative emotions, I know how to save her, once she comes back, there is a way to cleanse her of the parasite possesing her" I answer honestly, the princess looks at me with wide eyes, but they aren't filled with disdain or resentment anymore, they are filled with hope.

"Oh Onyx! Those are the best news I have heard since... I... I don't know when, knowing there is a way to save my sister, it brings me so much joy!"she hugged me tightly, making me squirm to free myself uselessly, as the air was forcefully expelled from my lungs.

I couldn't even make a noise, as I had the stuffing hugged out of me, the corner of my eyes were going a bit dark and my body went limp, as I didn't have more air to struggle, I suffocated to death and as she finally let go of me, a ghost dragon came out of my maw and hovered above my limp body.

Or what's what i imagined would have happened if she didn't let go soon after I started poking her sides harshly with my claws.

"Ah! Hey! No claws! Oh, oh goodness... Right, air! Sorry I forgot about that, it's just... those news, it's the best news!" She floated me on her back and stood up and started jumping around on the floor, like a hyperactive foal, jumping back and forth, she looked extremely silly, i would have found it cute if it wasn't for the fact that I was holding onto her for dear life, almost flying into the roof every time she jumped.

"Princeeesss! Wait! Stop jumping you'll break the floor!," this seemed to finally get her to stop, she looked sheepishly at me, but her expression softened, looking into my still teary eyes.

"I... I should say what was going on with me now, I have felt increasingly frustrated and angry lately because the elements of harmony don't respond to me anymore, you probably don't know what that is, but it's very important, yet they don't respond, they are inert, useless, this... My only hope for healing Luna from the Nightmare, is gone, I saw you experienced a magical outburst, I thought for some reason you had... Ascended into an Alicorn and maybe that Alicorn would have a way to save my sister, but then when I realized you are a dragon, I got extremely angry and frustrated, I remembered bad experiences I had in the past, with dragons and similar creatures, I... I put all that blame on you."

"At first I was going to just scare you a bit, but your innocent appearance and pony like behavior upset me even more, I felt like you were trying to... I don't know, you were pretending to be more pony just so you could take advantage of them, I thought you needed to be taught a lesson, I still... I was so angry, what I did to you, what I said to you was horrible thing to say to an adult, let alone an 8 years old."

"I abused you emotionally, threatened you, choked you and even insulted you and worst of all i made you fear for your future."

Seems like she is slowly realizing she made a mistake.

"I have done something... Something unforgivable to you, and many others, yet you... Instead of getting angry or attacking like anyone else would, or even defending yourself, you offer me affection, confort and give me the best news I could have possibly heard."

"Princess, I hope this doesn't change your mind, and I hope you continue thinking of me in a better light, but I was planning on helping get rid of the Nightmare and bring Luna back all along, it wasn't something I decided now, it was supposed to be... Secret and a surprise." She looks confused for a second then asks.

"So... You didn't just say it because you want to help me, but because you genuinely just want to make things right? Well... That's even better then! You care about Luna and not even for my sake but just because of her!" That's true, honestly I wasn't exactly happy with Celestia now.

"Uhm... Princess, you do know why the elements stopped working, right?" She seems to ponder this, but then shakes her head.

"The law about forbidding love between two species alone is reason enough to create disharmony, and... Not to mention what you did to the other nations... Please don't hurt me for this but I'm just saying, Harmony is not just for the ponies you know?" I tried to sound as... Casual as possible about just telling her in the face she did a shit job as a wielder of the elements. She surprisingly didn't glare at me, instead looked at her hooves.

"What would my sister think, if she saw what I have become? We used to be friends with many other nations, she always liked the idea of us visiting other nations and helping them out, but... I stopped doing that after an incident, and forbid her from traveling also..." This was progress, I smiled at her genuinely.

"She would think, Im sure she would think you are a good pony, that made mistakes, but a good pony nonetheless, look... I'll give you a tip, beat me up if you want to, but you should start by giving other nations some of the things they lack and you have too much of, for example: food, metal, gems and other resources, check to make sure they need it first, and what they need, maybe... Giving back land, but I know that is harder because usually ponies have moved there already, so maybe some resources from that land, doesn't need to be for free, just sell them cheap, offer to send pony weather teams to help with the crops of other nations, perhaps?"

She seemed doubtful at this, like she wanted to, but wasn't fully ready yet, but a quick hug from me and a nuzzle on her chest seemed to remind her it was the right thing to do.

"I suppose that can be done, I'll have to be careful and first talk with the nations leaders, maybe calling all the nations for a meeting first would be a good idea, this will requiere extensive planning." Is this a dream? I I really hope its not, but I knew it wasn't going to be this easy, even with this, some nations would not recover, I needed to help too, this was incredible progress however.

"Princess, to save your sister I will need to travel around, I will need you to also do some things for me, but you must not interfere yourself, just do whatever I say, understood?"

"Hm okay Onyx, I'll trust you, you have been honest with me so far despite my horrible attitude."

"Honestly I'm a bit upset at you, I admit, but it's not like I could get back at you, unless you were to let me, even then i would probably not even tickle you..." I say with a resigned sigh, she was far outside my league in power, way too far higher, I had used 'Inspect on her earlier, and it had worked this time, let's just say she is by far the most terrifying being in existence, the magic she can do is in another scale, she is a living breathing natural disaster.

She seemed to gain a dangerous glint in her eyes at my honest answer "Oh so you do want some revenge? What kind of revenge? I'm curious as to what a little dragon like yourself would want to do to me." She says in a playful tone, clearly amused but not in a mean way, opening up about our emotions is the best way to deal with them, that's what I always think.

"Well... If I say it you'll get angry, maybe I'll tell you when I'm older and less of a coward" she seemed disappointed but then smirked again.

"Oh come now Onyx! Tell me I promise I won't get upset, it's just banter, if you tell me, I may let you do it someday, okay?" Her offer was very tempting, but my idea of revenge was probably be taken out of its innocent context, I just knew it... Well I may as well say it now.

"I want to have you bowing low to the ground to me in front of everypony, then use your muzzle and head as my footpaws rest, all while I sit on your throne and sip on a tropical drink, oh I may be dead for admitting that out loud." She looked at me with wide eyes,

"T-that's scandalous! What a wild imagination you have young Onyx, consider yourself lucky you got on my good side before admitting such a devious thought... hmph! such a fantasy from a dragon, I should have expected it." She had a slight smile in her muzzle when she said the last part, she was also slightly pink on the face, but she looked away so I couldn't read her eyes.

"Oh don't worry I think that's just too extreme, I probably would not do that unless I got a bit more confident on myself, I'm still too shy to even think of doing that, but I think once I'm older and... I train my body I will become big, strong and confident, but what I wish the most is to still be myself, just less shy." She smiled at that, a genuine smile, I felt we were starting to get along now.

"You know, you're very good company, for a dragon... I'm joking! But yes you are nice to talk to, we could talk about magic too, I bet you know more spells than those you showed me, want to talk about your favorites and I'll talk the ones I like?"

"There has been one spell I want to try, but I haven't had the time to try it yet, I have recently learned it, want to see me try it for the first time?"

"That sounds exciting, let's see how you do for the first time of casting it then, go on."

I was excited for this one, I have always wanted to know what it was like, taking mom as an example, concentrated and used Polymorph, transforming myself on a wolf pup, I was slightly taller than my dragon form, I had dark black fur, my tail and body were much fluffier, I felt similar but also different, my body was warm now my insides felt odd, having warm blood after so long of having cold blood was...
Extremely hard to describe, it was like now suddenly my blood was lava and I could feel it flowing, but it didn't hurt or bother me like I expected.

Another thing that felt really confusing was having... External dangly bits again, I had not felt that specific sensation since I was a human, It was unusual, not sure if in a good or bad way, as a dragon, everything was internal, much more protected.

"Y-you can... You can polymorph?! How!? Onyx that's incredible! It's not a spell that can be found anymore, as it allows one to get away with too much..."

I gasped, know knowing if I just fucked myself over by using this spell, was it forbidden?! my shock made me lose concentration and I returned to my natural form.

"Wait wait I didn't use it for anything bad, I just wanted to try it, to show you, I promise I won't do anything bad with it, okay? I just was curious as to what it was like."

"Fine fine, you can use it, but don't go around tricking ponies for some selfish reason with it, okay? I'll trust you, by the way, how did you find that spell?" Uh oh, should I trust her with more? No, in going to make something up!

"It came to me in a dream, Princess." I deserved any punishment she had for me after saying that. She raised an eyebrow, but then nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer.

"Well that sometimes happens, dreams work in mysterious ways, my sister if she was here, would probably be able to explain why that happens." Wait what?! It worked?! So here that saying was actually accurate here? Huh... Awesome~!

"Now it's your turn, oh mighty Alicorn of the sun, what spell do you like most? What's your favorite?"
She booped me on the head playfully at that then seemed to think for a minute.

"There are a few, but I really like Change Shape, it's like polymorph but with more options like being able to use your magic and not requiring concentration, while regular Polymorph only lets you do what the creature you transform into can do, if it doesn't cast spells then you can't either, it also requires concentration all the time."

"Teleport is incredibly useful to travel long distances with friends along, in an instant, it can be taxing when the distance is long, but there are ways around that, someday I will show you." She was excited about talking magic, we found a a shared interest.

We talked for a few more hours and then she left, I told her I would send Sylf if I ever needed to talk to her and she agreed, Sylf was a great help because of being a high ranking guard.

In the end, the day had been an incredible success, now Princess Celestia has gone from barely tolerating dragons and making them submit to anti horny medicine to actually being okay with dragons, and possibly even... Improving her relationship with the other nations, and I didn't have to fight her at all! Not that would ever beat her, she could just glare at me hard enough and I would explode, I've seen her stats and... Let's just say I would need a dozen of myself to have a chance, even then the probably would win easily with overwhelming power.

Author's Note

But of a long chapter, Onyx barely managed to convince the scariest being he's ever laid eyes upon that she is doing wrong, not even an Alicorn can resist the adorable dragon hug + crying + back massage ultimate attack, Celestia is actually the reason some ponies, mainly nobles dislike dragons, she was the one who spread rumors about them, but she has changed her mind now, I hope this chapter is to your liking, I tried making her sort of... Mean, but not fully evil, I didn't want her to be irredeemable, she had her reasons for her attitude, but this chapter she realized thanks to Onyx that she had gone too far.
