Lilith the exeby BriarwoodsChaptersFindingsExplorationGreetingsChapter 4Wedding dayPersonality LeakChapter 7Sign x2FindingsAuthor's Note If there's a way to add sound effects id like to know. Also a generator for zecora would be nice. I'm not good with riddles. Edit:I forgot to include the tag but Lilith is an OC of mine and the third person isn't permanent Findings "We were meant to rule together little sister. Will you accept my friendship?" "Im so sorry! I missed you so much big sister!" The two alicorns embraced each other while crying happy to be united. Unfortunately their reunion was immediately interrupted by a purple mist that flew past every pony there. They turned their gaze to it as it forms a ring like shape that glows a dim red with the center facing the floor. The ring spins a bit and hits the floor, then starts going up. Although, as it starts moving up, a figure is being left from it as if it was creating it. The creature was as tall as Twilight and It was blue. There was a small red ring clipped to one of its ears and one gold ring around each wrist. Pinkie Pie was the first one to greet them immediately placing a hoof on their shoulder while saying, "Hi! Where-" Just as she touched them, their head turned fast and looked Pinkie in the eyes. Its own eyes were a black void with red irises that stared back at them. Pinkie felt a shiver run down their spine and just before she could do anything BLING. The creature disappeared in a flash leaving behind a small amount of staticky red mist that quickly dissipated. While worrying, they all pushed it to the back of their minds for a moment wanting Celestia to enjoy the reunion. Once they left and made it back to pony vile, Celestia congratulated twilight and gave her a new mission which allowed her to stay with her new friends. once everyone left, she whispered to twilight, "Please try to find that...being. I'm not sure what their intentions are but they gave off a sinister feeling. Good luck." and with that, went off. Over time she tried to find any signs of the entity that appeared but nothing. No strange reports of any kind. However, Luna saw a strange area within the dream realm, It was clouded with black and red ink. She couldn't sense any pony dreams in there so she left it alone since it creeped her out as well. Eventually the time came where twilight and her friends had to fight discord. As discord was being turned back into stone, he yelled out "Don't mess with the dream! Don't go near it!" as he became stone. Confused, Twilight went to ask Princess Celestia about it. "and that's all he said. It didn't feel like a trick but... Do you know what he meant?" "I'm sorry twilight but dreams are more of-" "I know what he meant." Princess Luna was walking in when she heard the conversation. "Theres this...Odd area we have seen. Its an inky area that we don't dare to approach. It gives us...a bad feeling. We haven't said anything because we thought it would be ok if we left it alone." "But what if its something that can stop or change discord for good?" Twilight asked. "It might be possible your highness." Applejack chimed in. "for the short time we knew discord, I think he would try to steer any pony from something that could be used against him. Maybe the black ink and ominous feeling was also his doing." "That is a possibility. Dear sister, could you please check it out? If this theory proves true, we could change discord without having to locate the spells required." Luna looks to them nervous but hesitantly agrees. "We-I shall look into it." Luna really disliked the feeling the mass of inky dreams gave her and wanted nothing to do with it but if its just one of discords magic spells making her feel that way, then she could get through it. Every pony there except Fluttershy agreed to stay the night there. As the day past, Luna spent her time mentally preparing to enter the inky dream. She hopes that the worst part of it is just passing through its atmosphere. Once night falls she starts her dream duties. Once she finishes her rounds, she makes her way to the inky dream. Just passing through it made it feel like she was going through mud. But she was relieved when she made it to the other side. The muddy feeling vanished as soon as she was in and was greeted by a bright green landscape. Green grass, blue skies and red clouds. "red clouds?" she thought to herself. It was the only thing that was off about this place. She looked around again. The hills strangely made a loop. She flew around searching for anything. But the land was barren. Devoid of any life except grass and trees. She figured discord would of set some other kinds of preventative measures in here. She landed to walk. "but why would he hide something in a dream? Or in a place so calm for that matter." She said aloud. When she faced forward she noticed a being in front of her. It was sitting down while hugging it's knees like a fetal position. It's eyes were closed. She took a step towards it, the grass softly crunching under her hoof. It's ears twitched as it helps itself stand up, slightly hunched forwards with its fingers facing the ground. Luna stopped in her tracks as it started emitting an ominous aura. It was the being that appeared when she was turned good again. "A dream...? So then this is a dream and not a prison...? How...lovely." it's voice sounded deep and low like someone whispering, yet it was loud like someone talking normally. "then that means I can escape. But first..." Their head slowly turned to Luna. The black void and shining red eyes stared at her. bling the hedgehog was suddenly close to her, reaching out with a sharp toothed smile spread across its face. Luna, terrified, ejected herself out the dream and huddled in her room till morning. Once Celestia had raised the sun, she had told her about what she'd seen. "So it was a genuine warning. I'm sorry I had you check sister." Just then, Fluttershy came flying in a bit late, looking a little sleepy. "Sorry I'm late every pony." "If they called it a prison then they must be evil!" Rainbow dash said. "o-or they just thought they were trapped there. Being stuck somewhere all alone for so long. I couldn't imagine what that would be like." Fluttershy said quietly while touching her hooves together nervously. "Despite how they might look, let's try not to assume the worst." Celestia said. "Yeah! Maybe they want friends and a welcoming party!" "Luna and I will be visiting them together. If they're trapped, we can help them." They immediately got to it, all of them went with Luna into the dream realm. Each shuddering at the feeling of passing through the ink. "this place is huge!" Pinkie pie said as she ran through and completed a looping hill. "these clouds are weirdly color-" the cloud turned into a static red mist as rainbow dash touched it. She got worried about inhaling it but it instead seemed to pass through her without doing anything. Then the mist disappeared. Luna began to worry as she flew to the sky and looked to where she last saw the hedgehog. Except no one was here anymore "I'm sorry sister but... They've gotten out." "But how's that possible? If it's a dream, then shouldn't the dream disappear without the dreamer?" Twilight asked. "it must of been the body that was imprisoned here." Now the ponies are worried and get to trying to locate the hedgehog. Exploration"Well that could of gone better. I scared away the alicorn. Guess I can't blame them. I do look...scary I guess. Still though, first sentient being I meet in a long time and I scare them away" sigh. "But they said dream so I can leave this place. I tried to leave once but couldn't teleport so maybe this is a sort of pocket dimension? If that's the case then..." I hold out my arm and the ring around my wrist expands and starts sliding off. Once it reaches my finger tips I gently tap it which causes it to start spinning. It gets bigger until its about 15ft wide and tall. I cross my fingers...and a image appears in the center! "Yes!" And then I immediately face palm, wondering why I didn't try this. "All that time alone! Augh!" sigh "Whatever. At least I can finally leave." I look at the portal and see that it leads to the edge of a forest. Stepping through it, I'm met with a nice brisk breeze. "Ah...Finally. Some real air." I say to myself as I take in a deeeeeep breath. "Alright then. I guess I should find out where I am first." ... "So there's the forest...Dark forest that seems endless, and a cottage...hm. Think ill check out the cottage first." I fly myself over it to see. Maybe I can find some people here. Upon looking around I see a chicken pen and sleeping chickens. Peering into the window, i don't see anyone so I teleport myself in. Bling. "Cozy." Going upstairs and I enter the bedroom to see a yellow Pegasus. What odd coloration. Not nocturnal so if i find anything else like this one, they wont be awake. If this one is like the one earlier then sentient ponies or horses are what will be the dominant species here. But I should get the lay of the land before sunrise. I don't wanna get lost. But I should try and practice my faker form I guess. Hopefully Ill be accepted more easily like that. But first... I slowly reach my hand out fingers spread. Getting closer to their face ever so slowly as to not wake them up. Then I make my hand look like I'm pointing, and boop their snoot. "Boop." I look into a glass plane. Yikes. I wipe the black substance building out the corner of my eye. I focus a bit and try to imagine looking like the actual sonic. I manage to change my irises from red to blue. Nothing else changed. Then I start vocalizing trying to change how I sound. No matter what I do, I somehow sound worse so I stick to my room volume whispering. "Who's there?" The pony says groggily. I give them a glance and then teleport myself out before she could see me properly. Though I imagine she heard that, so I fly a different direction until I reach a sign that says, "welcome to pony vile" and as I suspected, the main population seems to be pony like beings but they're all asleep. "Is that a life sized gingerbread house?!" I walk up to it and examine it. It looks tasty. Or, the roof does at least. I saw the roof from a distance and thought it was an actual gingerbread house. But I can smell some sweets inside. Takes me back. I fly around for awhile, exploring the town and examining the building structures. As I'm flying over it, I spot an apple orchard. Teleporting to it, I see that it's very well kept. I take an apple and sink my teeth into it. ... So good! I may not need to eat but it's definitely nice to. The amount of flavors to taste. But then, the sun starts to rise. It rises really quick. In fact, it reaches the apex of the sky in seconds before halting there. how odd. I grabbed another apple and was mid bite when I heard someone yell "What are you doing ya varm-" I look to the sound which is a wrinkled old green pony who turns pale up on seeing my face and retreated back inside. I get that I look bad but still. I remain floating and just as I'm about to to take a bite of the apple a pan smacks me in the face. It didn't hurt but it was unexpected and disorienting. "Didja hit em?" I hear the same old pony ask. "Eyup." I turn to the new voice and see a red pony that's large. They shrink backwards a little when they see my face but ultimately stands their ground. Black substance leaks from my eyes again which really seems to bother them. I wipe it away and grab a few more apples. "Fine I'll leave but I'm taking these apples with me!" I say sticking a tongue out at them. They looked almost shocked to see I could speak and I fly to the forest. I wander the forest for some time. Eating the apples as I do. I toss the last apple into my sharp toothed mouth and crush it between my teeth, enjoying the juices that flow out of it when I see a hut. In the doorway of said hut, a zebra that looks horrified. I scratched the back of my head and opened my mouth to say something when they retreated back inside of their hut. I hear a racket. I imagine they're barricading the door. I Jimmy the door and sure enough, it doesn't open. "Stay back evil creature! I will not let you eat my finest features!" The zebra yells from inside. "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm hoping you could let me in and tell me about this place." I slump my head forward a bit as I listen to myself. I sound so creepy and sinister with my voice. Well I'll just have to show them I mean no harm. As I'm about to try to push the door again. Bling I teleport back a bit as a purple bolt lands where I just was. It doesn't leave much of a spot so I assume it wasn't meant to hurt me too much if it hit. I look around and the ponies from that night are here. Including the one from that cottage I was at earlier. They surround me looking ready to fight. Well, the only two who aren't are a pink pony who looks at me unsure, and the yellow one. Just as I was about to speak, two alicorns fly down and land in front of me. The one from the dimension I was 'stuck' in and a completely different alicorn with a colorful mane. I smile nervously with a slightly determined look. This is going to be a rough day... Author's Note Hope you enjoyed. GreetingsAuthor's Note Thank you for reading., Greetings It feels like the alicorns are staring me down. I nervously smile but steel myself and put my clenched fists down as I stand as tall as possible, looking at them over my shoulder. I can feel it. I'm not at full power. I'm missing something. "But still..." I raise my fists to my sides as a smile spreads across my face. A white and red mist like aura starts emitting from my body. "I won't go down without a fight...!" They tense up but otherwise don't do anything. The tension grows until the white Alicorn speaks up. "We aren't here to fight. We came to welcome you to Equestria. But after we've confirmed who or what you are and your intentions here." "Really?" I ask as I lower my hands. The aura almost immediately dissipates. They look even more nervous as they hear my voice more clearly. "That's nice." I cant help but die inside a little as I continue to sound evil. "I'm sorry for how I sound. Try as I might, I can't alter it to sound...better." I say nervously rubbing an arm. "I think its best we talk at the castle. This forest is dangerous." I nod as they start leading me to a carriage of sorts. I don't know what its called." Tired of walking I float with them instead. Five of the ponies stay behind me while the pink one bounces next to me. "You want a cupcake? I made it especially for you!" She says cheerily while holding a blue frosted cupcake in her hand. "When'd you even make that?" I ask as I take it. It smells wonderful. Some flashes of memory come to me but I cant make out what they are. Deciding not to worry about it, I just bite into it. Some of the ponies look away from my sharp teeth. I bite into it and a the flavor floods my senses. "It tastes awesome. Thank you." I look at her and give her a smile making sure to not smile too much to where my teeth show. So far, she's the only one willing to keep eye contact. The yellow one gives me some eye contact. Though, just a little. "I'm Pinkie Pie! That's Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna!" She says while seemingly teleporting between each one to introduce them. "nice to meet you all." I say to them. They don't respond which makes it a little awkward. "I see that you can fly. Would you rather fly along side us or ride with us?" Celestia asks. I think about for a bit and I haven't got to stretch my flying muscles in awhile. "Nah I'll fly along side you." The rest of the trip is mostly silent with Pinkie rambling on about how she's gonna throw me the biggest welcoming party. But as soon as a castle comes into view, I ask them if thats our destination. Luna nods. "I'll be exploring!" and I speed ahead as fast as I can, creative a sonic boom as i break the sound barrier. Strange. It feels like this isn't my fastest...Can't worry about that now! In no time I'm within the castle corridors pushing past guards who seem a little distressed upon seeing me. Of course they try to stop me but... A guard tries to grab me but i slide under them and wave my finger at them with a smile. "Too slow. Want to try again?" I watch them shiver at the sound of my voice and then retreat. My smile fades immediately. Again the black substance is building so I wipe it away. Wonder why it keeps coming back. As the ponies made their way into the castle, they spread word of the visitor so the guards don't panic too much. Once they reached the throne room, they started talking. "He doesn't seem like he's bad." Applejack says. "They seem more misunderstood, the poor thing." "Yeah, and he's a pretty great flier! Almost as fast as me!" "Y-yes. Even when he broke into my cottage he didn't do or take anything." "HE DID WHAT?!" every pony asked loudly which caused her to shrink a little. "o-oh, he didn't break in per say... because nothing was broken. I even caught him trying to change his appearance and voice so he could fit in better. I think he's really nice." "His eyes are hard to stare at though." "Not when you get used to them. And he likes cupcakes, how bad could he possibly be?" Pinkie chimes in jumping up and down. "That aside, perhaps he can live in pony vile peacefully. We can also keep an eye on him so he doesn't do anything like that again." Twilight says. Both Princesses nod. "Then its settled. Let's get them in here so we can at least ask what their name is and what their home was like." With that Celestia teleports Lilith in. Finding some random armor after getting bored of wandering around I decide to do a little role play. "I the am the brave knight who's come to rescue you from the evil! Now prepare to be defeated-" I do a spin and before I know it, I'm in the thrown room in front of all the ponies. I cough a few times and snap my fingers which makes the armor turn into a silver mist that disappears. "What happened to the armor?" Luna asks me. "And what were you doing in Fluttershys house?" Rainbow gets a bit in my face. "And-" Applejack starts to speak but I cut her off. "And why did I eat your apples, I know." "... You did what?" Applejack asks confused. "Uh, nothing." I clear my throat. "The armor is back in its original place. As for what I was doing in Fluttershy's house, sorry Fluttershy, I was exploring my surroundings. I was curious what kind of beings live here. Sorry." I bow. "So we've all decided that it would be best if you lived in pony vile. Is that ok with you?" Celestia asks. "I don't mind. Sounds like it could be...Fun." "Yes..." Luna says wanting to comment on my voice but then remembers I cant control it. "We only wish to know your name and back ground. So speak." Bit demanding but whatever. "Guess I really haven't introduced myself. Names Lilith." Every pony gasps. "As for where I'm from..." I shrug "I can't remember. Ever since that day that I came here, I can't remember anything about my past no matter how hard I try." "You're a girl?" Almost all the ponies ask at the same time except for the princesses and Pinkie pie. The princesses just stifle their surprise. "Yes. Guess its hard to tell with my voice huh?" I say with a disheartened laugh at the end. "Are you sure you can't remember what your past is like?" Celestia asked. I nod. "My oldest memory is appearing in those ruins with you all. I can't remember anything past that." "That is unfortunate. But for now settle in at Twilights house. We'll try to recover your memories when we have the spells required. Now, I wish to speak to you in private. As for the rest of you, thank you for coming." They all bow and then proceed to leave. Once they're all gone she speaks again. "We plan to release discord after a wedding. We want you to help reign discord in." "...Who?" Chapter 4"Discord is a Draconequus we sealed over a thousand years ago. He's a creature of chaos. We plan to unseal him to try and convince him to use his powers for good instead of evil. We want you to be there to help him change his ways. I don't want to assume but...Well..." "Your appearance looks a tad bit evil." Luna says bluntly. "Yes." Celestia sighs. "We are hoping that you might be able to show him how to get to the path of good." "I see." Lilith scratch the back of her head. "I've already said this I think, but I don't remember anything from my past. Nothing. Not even a sliver of who I really was. I shouldn't be present during his unsealing either. I think you might be right. What if he's able to bring up an evil side to me? Doubt it would be good to have two problems so, sorry. I'm going to have to decline." "That is unfortunate. Well, we are going to have a wedding soon and we'd like you to attend. It would be great to introduce you to another princess and twilights brother. Princess Cadance is a princess of love. " Celestia was thinking that if anyone could tell if Lilith was good, it was her. "As for your past, I believe I can help with that." Luna says. "Really? If you can help me remember that would be great!" Lilith smiled happily. "So what do you need me to do?" "Dream." "Oh. I can't do that." She said with her smile immediately disappearing. "You can't Dream?" "More like, I can't sleep. During my time in my dimension, I never slept once nor did I feel the need to." Luna was filled with hope. Now there's someone who might be able to enjoy her night. But she wasn't sure whether or not Lilith could enjoy something like that. She saw she liked flavor. "Do you want us to escort you there?" "Nah, just tell me where Twilight lives. I've explored most of pony vile on my first night." "Very well. Twilight lives in a tree like house." "Got it. Thanks for having me." Bling Lilith disappeared in a staticky red mist. "A creature that doesn't dream is odd. I will be sure to see what is really occurring." Luna said to Celestia. I appear inside Twilights house and the first thing I notice is how many books she has. Oh, and three pony kids. Which I guess are fillies. They stare at me with a look of terror. "Hello." With that, they scream and then run out of the library. I sigh when I see a little purple dragon do the same, yelling for twilight as they run up the stairs. A certain purple pony comes down to greet me. "The princess must of teleported you here for you to arrive so fast." "I can teleport myself. Watch" Bling Bling Those noises rang out each time I disappeared and reappeared nearby, each time leaving behind the static like red mist. Twilight saw it and tried to bottle it, but it dissipated like always. "What is that stuff?" She asked frowning. "No clue." I say with a shrug. Only seems to appear when I teleport. "Do you need to build up...magic or something else to teleport?" "Nope. It's instant." We talk for a bit and she offers to show me around pony vile which I decline. In hindsight, I probably should of said yes. Would of made it easier for the villagers to accept me. She goes on errands which takes most of the day and before I know it, its night. Like literally, the sun and moon are raised and lowered very quickly. But along with the moon came stars I didn't get to enjoy my first night here. Flying to the top of the tree I look at the consolations. "Very pretty." I say to myself. But something about the sky feels... "You say that but you feel like the sky is missing something." I turn to see princess Luna talking to me. "... yes. I can't explain it. A memory tells me its missing something. But I can't recall that memory. It...Bugs me." "Do you like it?" "Yes. Its pretty." I reach out to try and grab a star. Luna looks at me and sees one eye is completely black. No color. Just black. Noticing shes starring at me, I blink and look at her. I didn't notice any of this happening but my eye turns back to normal when I blink. "Whats up?" Luna looks up. "The stars." I laugh a bit which sounds chilling. "What that means in this context is 'whats on your mind' " She thinks at it for a bit but shakes her head. "Nothing." "alright then. I imagine you must be a bit busy at night so Ima head back inside. Enjoy your day- er, night." I don't think I'll ever get over how I sound. I teleport back inside and stay in. During the night I try my best to recall the past to no avail. Feels like its locked or something. Time passes quickly and its morning. I sigh angrily at my missing past and walk to the library. "Maybe some reading will take my mind off thi-" They are all in a language I don't understand. "Tsk. Of course." Twilight walks in saying, "Hey, I want you to come with me." She sees me slightly angry. "What's wrong?" "I don't read this language. Nothing more." I walk past her. "Lead the way." During our walk I notice no ponies are in the streets so either they aren't usually out or they're not here. Twilight leads me to the misleading gingerbread roof house. But going inside and its somehow really dark. I can see the ponies waiting eagerly to jump at me but I don't think anyone else would of been able to. But of course, I already know how this is gonna go. When the lights go on and they yell surprise, I give a polite and nervous smile. They scream in terror when they see my features and run out. The only ones left are the ones who greeted me in the forest. Minus the princesses. Oh, and the cake. I droop a little and wipe the black build up. "Welp, more cake for me anyways." Pinkie looks a bit deflated. "I'm sorry I-" "Don't worry about it. This sorta thing was bound to happen with how I look. My fault for not introducing myself to them first before the surprise." Pinkie offers me a plate of cake. Its blue like me. Just before I could grab it twilight yelled, "My brother?!" This caused pinkie to swerve and I missed a bite of the cake and hit my head on a table instead. "My brother sent me a letter of invitation instead of inviting me himself." She said looking sad. I didn't hear her read out whatever she was holding so I looked towards her and asked, "Your brother what?" "He's getting married." Wedding dayI stick my face in the glass as I watch the buildings fly by. "So cool! Never been in a train before." I look to twilight whos sulking in a corner. "I'm sorry. I Thought you already knew about the wedding." "It's not you that I'm upset at. It's my brother. You would think he'd at least tell me face to face and not in a letter." "Maybe he had important business? What's that?" I ask as I see a pink wall approaching us. Pretty soon we passed through it which sent shivers down my body. "Brr. That felt weird." I stand up to go to my seat but the train screeches to a halt and I face plant into the floor. "Ow..." "Oh dear. Are you okay?" Flutter shy asks me holding out a hoof. "Yup. Couldn't be better." I take her...hoof as she helps me stand back up. I bust down the train door and streetch with a big grin. I let out an exhale and see that I'm met with a bunch of guards. A lot of them. Wonder why they didn't see them when we were pulling in. Or did I somehow miss a bit of time? Whatevs. I can see that they're trying to look stoic but they're scared of me. Not unusual. Maybe I could pull a little prank...I snap myself out of it. Unusual. Then I see Twilight trot off somewhere. I go to follow her but I remember that I haven't explored canterlot. I'm sure she'll be fine. I fly off to the city. Thankfully the guards seem to know who I am and allow me to walk around. The streets are...different from what I've seen from pony vile. Mainly the ponies. They keep their head held high. Literally. They don't pay any attention to me which works in my favor. No screaming in terror. I open the door to a bakery and say, "lets eat." Upon entering I plaster my face to the display cases looking at the assortment of sweets. I see one I like. "How much is that cookie cake?" "That'll be 20 bits." "20 Bits?! ... Whats that?" I tilt my head slightly in confusion. The clerk sighs and looks at me. "If you dont.have..the..." Their sentence slowed to a halt as they took in my appearance and then started stuttering. "D-dont wo-worry about it. Its on the h-house!" They hand it to me and flee to the back. Occasionally peaking back up to see if Im still there. I sigh and take my cookie cake and leave. I bite into it and savor that flavor of cookie and frosting mixed together. As I'm finishing it up I see a pink beam of light come from the castle area. I mumble to myself as I take one last bite and head towards there. Flying over I dont see much but looking up, I do. Some weird bug ponies. "..and do a little shake!" I look to see twilight finishing some weird dance. Twilight was distraught and a little suspicious that Cadance didn't remember her. They all heard a faint Bling and a louder one as Lilith appeared. Cadance yelped in surprise as Shining Armor went forward, horn glowing as he readied a spell. "What are you and how'd you get in?" Only Cadance and Shining Armor saw this but Lilith's irises flickered a bit. "I'm Lilith. So Twilight, who are these two?" Lilith's attention seemed more focused on Cadance like they were confused about them being there. "My brother Shining Armor and my foal sitter, Princess Cadance." "OH! So you two are the ones getting married? That's nice. You sure though?" "Sure about what?" Shining Armor asked. "Marrying a Bug." Lilith's posture slumped a little as they stared at Cadance with a tilted head and smile. Cadance felt a chill run through their spine as they felt Lilith's eyes bare into their soul. "Don't call her that." Shining Armor said defensively. Twilight took note instead. She'd never seen Lilith be like that. "Right. My bad. Could be offensive term to her." Lilith finished the last bite of her cookie cake getting a bit of red frosting near their mouth. "Just be careful. Wouldn't want anything to happen to you." Lilith says licking the red frosting. With that she disappears with a teleport, creating the usual staticky red mist. Throughout the day, twilight closly watches Cadance. Unbeknownst to Lilith, her irises would completely disappear at times. Usually when someone was scared of her or shooed her away cause of her appearance. Eventually Twilight tried to talk to her brother about it. Before she could, Cadance had took him to the back room. "We need to get rid of that creature twilight is associated with. "Lilith? But she's been ok'd by Princess Celestia. She may be a bit rude but..." "Are you disobeying me?" Twilight watched as Cadance had used some kind of magic on her brother that made his eyes all wonky. She gasped. She knew something was wrong with Cadance. She tried her best to convince her friends but they wouldn't listen. So she turned to Lilith who was out on a balcony watching the stars. She told her that she had a plan to convince her friends that the current Cadance was a fake. "To lead off you'll start by telling every pony what you really see." Lilith thought about it for a bit. Their stomach sunk as they thought about it but agreed. Its a solid plan she came up with but I don't know if they'll listen to me. I hope they do. We bust in when their appearently gonna start doing their vows. I already feel butterflies in my stomach. "That isn't the real princess Cadance! Tell them." "Right. That cadance is a fake. She's actually-" "What is that creature?" the faker points at me. "Kinda ironic you sa-" "It emits pure evil! I sense no love inside it!" She says immediately cutting me off. "It's been tricking you all. It told me to play along so it could gain the throne and rule over equestria! It's even tricked twilight into believing it!" Twilight and I are stunned. Twilight looking shocked seems to only help her case. But surely They'll notice that what she says contradicted to her asking what I am. "So its true!" Rarity is the first to speak. "What? N-no I-" "I knew you were always evil!" Rainbow was the second to say something as she started flying. "You really thought you could trick us?" Apple jack was next. "C'mon you can't possibly..." I can feel it. All their eyes are baring into me with distrust. That's all it took for them to turn on me...? I can't really blame them but still. It hurts. It hurts so much. I may not of been here long but I still trusted and liked them a lot. So this is what it feels like to be painted as a villain by people you like. Its...soul crushing. My vision starts to blur as tears run down my face. I can't breath. I need to run. "No...I can't..." "You can't what? Can't believe we figured you out?" Rainbow Dash says. I feel a wall in my head break. I cant take it anymore. They all watch as Lilith crouches a bit with her head in her hands as black fluid rapidly falls from her eyes. She lets out a staticky scream that reverberates throughout the castle, then they disappear in black mist. Twilight falls to her knees feeling utterly defeated. She doesn't know if Lilith will ever be back. She can only watch them walk by. "It's okay twilight. I'll leave you here with Cadance so she can talk to you." Celestia says. They all quickly leave and close the door behind them. Twilight turns to the fake Cadance with a look of determination. But Cadance casts a spell that makes green flame appear around twilight which sends her underground. Personality LeakIt wasn't long before Twilight had made her way up and crashed the wedding with the real Cadance. Chrysalis became worried as she saw Celestia approaching. The two clashed with their magic for a few seconds and Chrysalis was victorious. She was pleasantly shocked at her new found power. "I'm even more powerful than Celestia!" The bug queen said loudly with joy and let out an evil laugh. Celestia told Twilight and her friends to go and gather the elements. So, off they went immediately. They struggled the whole way there. Even fighting off a platoon of changelings and making their way inside of a building where the elements were held. They were happy thinking they'd gone through the worst of it. But when they opened the door, they were met with another platoon of changelings and a another platoon quickly surrounded them. "Twilight and her friends will stop you!" But of course Cadance was proved wrong very soon. Twilight and the rest of her friends were brought in as prisoners. Calling them fools for believing her lies and pointing out that twilight and that other creature were the only ones who knew. "I'm sorry Twilight. I should of believed you and Lilith." "It's ok. She fooled every pony. I'm just worried about Lilith. She was genuinely hurt and I haven't seen that black teleporting stuff before. I hope she's ok. And I hope she can forgive us..." Twilight realizes she should of known better than to get Lilith's help when everyone barely knows her. Chrysalis laughs. "So what was that thing? Haven't seen anything like it. . . . No matter." Chrysalis breaks out in a song and starts singing as she goes outside the window and watches her changelings below. While she's distracted, Twilight frees Cadance from the goo that's holding her down. Cadance then proceeds to free Shining Armor from her spell. Twilight goes to free Celestia who falls from the cocoon still weakened. Shining Armor gets to working on creating a shield to force them out immediately. Crysalis comes in and laughs at the weakened ponies. "You really think you can force us out now? Ha! But just in case..." She fires a magic beam at them and hits. Green goo covers Cadance and Shining Armor. She cackles as the goo covers their horns and bodies, stopping them in their tracks. "Princess Celestia you have to bring Lilith back here. Use a teleportation spell." Twilight whispers. Celestia nods and begins charging her horn which Chrysalis notices. She spins around and yells, "Stop that this instant!" But its too late. A white flash emanates from the middle of the room and from it, Lilith appears. But she's hunched over. Her hands are uncurled and fingers pointing to the ground as she stands like a deactivated robot. Her eyes are void black as usual except no irises can be seen in either one. Completely void of life. Chrysalis was scared at first but quickly calmed down and even chuckled. "What is that? A construct? Golem? What ever it is, it seems you forgot to feed it some magic. Hehe, maybe it actually needs love instead." She laughed loudly as she approached Lilith. She even poked at Lilith a few times and nothing happens. She looked Lilith in the eyes. I can't see very much. Wherever I am it's pitch black. It hurts I think to myself as I grip at my chest. Hurts a lot. I sit down and try to lean against a wall only to lay on the floor. The ground ripples like its black water. Endless below me. Black sky and black ground. No clouds... Where the hell am I? I groan and force myself back to my feet and begin walking this endless void. Each step echoes as if I'm walking in a puddle. Feels like I've traveled for hours. Just as I was about to give up I run into a wall of sorts. It's red and staticky. I hit it a few times but nothing happens except leaves my fists covered in some kind of red liquid. It isn't blood because it doesn't smell like iron. It doesn't have a smell at all. I look back at the wall and its disappeared. I turn and gasp when I come face to face with my reflection. At least I think it is. It mimics my movements but instead of black running down my eyes, its red in the reflection. As I put my hand to it, it suddenly grabs my arm and tries pulling me in. After a bit of struggling I manage to pull it out instead. I take a defensive position. "Who are you?" I try to say but no words come out. "Don't recognize me? I'm you." They walk towards me but I try to keep my distance. "No need to be scared." Now I know what its like to be on the receiving end of that voice. "Don't you hate it?" They teleport to me and drape an arm around my shoulder. Don't you hate how they treated you?" "A little yes, but I can't exactly blame them." "Of course you can. Did you see the way they stared at you? Like they never trusted you for a second. They aren't your friends. Destroy them." A ring appears that shows them all looking at me. Their faces are distorted so I can't tell what their expressions are. "Straight to the point, aren't you?" I swat their hand off me. "No. I won't do that. You really think I'd turn on them? I've only just arrived here so of course they don't trust me that much. If anything it's my fault for getting so attached so quickly." They look at me angrily. "You don't get a choice. Either take it out on them, or that thing.". I look and see the same bug I met on the bridge with twilight, looking straight into me. "And if I refuse?" "I kill ALL of them instead." ". . . . . . Fine." "Good. Here is something to help you." They Pull out this odd black ring and hand it to me. "Looks like its over for you all." Chrysalis chuckles as she pulls back and turns to them. "Your trump card has failed." all the ponies look past her and gasp. Chrysalis wears a expression of confusion and turns to see what they're looking at. Running down Lilith's face is red liquid. It's seeping from her eyes in droves, coating her fur a bit red. Chrysalis backs up as a feeling of pure terror strikes her heart as the eyes in Lilith come back. Evil intent emanates from Lilith directed to Chrysalis. Their posture corrects itself as she stretches a bit and flexes her hands and lets out a nice long sigh. Chrysalis blinks and next thing she knows, she's outside facing the sky. Her neck hurts as if it was being held in a vice. As she blinks again, she hears Bling. When she opens her eyes, Lilith is suddenly in her vision smiling happily with her fist raised. Chrysalis tried to shield herself but pain was felt throughout her face as the punch connected faster than she could react. She was sent flying to the ground with a shattering crack as the ground broke beneath her. Her body rang with pain as she laid on the ground trying to get the air back in her lungs. Celestia and Twilight went to the window to watch this unfold while the others went to free Cadance and shining Armor. Feeling a sense of uneasiness. Chrysalis rolled to the side the second she got the air back in her lungs just as a punch landed where her head used to be. The ground also cracks leaving a crater where the punch landed. If that had hit, her head would of been crushed. Instead she crumples as a foot is driven into her abdomen which sends her backwards. "Too slow." Lilith says. She delivers a weaker punch to Chrysalis's body and repeats over and over. Each time Chrysalis cries in pain. She charges a magic burst that makes Lilith skid back. As Lilith skids to a stop, Chrysalis fires another magic blast which hits Lilith in the face, causing her head to rear back. Chrysalis closes the distance as a black ring flies from Lilith's hand towards her. Chrysalis just thinks Lilith had let go of it so pays it no mind and runs into it. Chrysalis stops in her tracks as she coughs and hacks as the ring is absorbed into her on contact. She falls down after a few more coughs as a black liquid fly's out her mouth with each cough. It even comes out her eyes as if it was tears. Meanwhile Lilith stands over her with a big sharp toothed grin. "W-what did you...do to me...?" Chrysalis sputters. "Don't you worry about it. It's just a little poison. Hehehe." and with that, She feels pain rack her body again as she goes flying into the sky from a kick. Bling. Lilith is now holding Chrysalis by the throat as they float in the air. Red fluid going down Lilith's eyes as she smiles. "You're fun to play with Chrysalis. But its time our game came to an end." She said raising a fist. "What are you...?" She asked weakly. "I. AM. GOD." With each word her voice became more distorted while she reeled her fist back. Just as she was about to deliver the finishing blow, a pink barrier washed over Lilith as it ejected all the changelings out of canterlot and into the distance. The second Chrysalis was out of sight, Lilith's vision faded to black. Chapter 7Author's Note The storys are gonna come out slowly. Some personal issues have suddenly popped up. Sorry if this one is low quality as well. Chapter 7 I awake in the black void again. I rub my head as I stand back up. I faintly remember what happened now that I'm here. "That was fun. Even if I didn't get to finish the job." They laugh. "Thanks for lending me your body." I growl in frustration. "I didn't lend it to you. You forcefully took it." "Well I did say I was giving you something to help. You accepted what I gave you which also gave me consent to take your body for a bit of a spin. Though I guess technically its my body too." "But I didn't give you express permission to take it. No more pulling anything like that again." "Fine." Their expression sours a bit as they take a lazy posture, but soon perk back up with a sharp toothed smile that reached ear to ear. "But in turn, you have to play my game. A little race of sorts. The goal is to either defeat me, which is impossible, or make it to the finish line, which I conveniently made to look like your little ring portals. My goal will be to kill you before you can reach it. Of course, you won't actually die, but each time you lose, I gain a little power to control your body. Each time we do this race, This terrain will change. From a complex maze of a building, to that green area you were 'stuck' in for awhile." "Are you serious? You really think I'd play this game with those risks? No. Not happening. There's no telling what you'd do if you had control over my body." I stare at them defiantly. No way in hell am I agreeing to this. "You don't have a choice. Ill kill you even if you don't play along. This isn't something you want to fail in." They smile menacingly at me as they stand face to face. I punch them square in the face which sends them flying back and bouncing off the ground a bit before slamming into the red staticky barrier. They slouch forward a bit. "I'll tell you this since you won't remember anything once you wake up. This barrier, you created it. It keeps me in here trapped. If I win a certain amount of times, I can slip past and take control even if its for a few minutes. Each time my strength will build up until I can take your body for a bit of fun time. I may not have control for long but I promise I'll wreak havoc. Now, let the games begin!" They look up at me with a evil grin lunge at me. Lilith wakes up yelling, "I wont let you...win...?" The first 4 words were loud and the last was quiet as she examined her surroundings to see that she was in a bed within a spacious room. Lilith held her head as she tried her best to recall what she was dreaming about but to no avail. "I see you've awakened." Lilith looked up to see Celestia looking at her with slight concern. Lilith didn't notice or hear her come in. "Can you tell me what the last thing you remember is?" She asked as she sat at the side of the bed. "Um...I remember talking to twilight about confronting an imposter. Nothing after. Wait, is she ok?" Celestia looks slightly concerned yet was relieve that Lilith couldn't remember being turned against. "Yes. She's alright. Do you not remember the fight?" Lilith looked at her confused by her question. "You don't? That means that you weren't in control then. A relief but also troubling. Here." She presses her forehead to Lilith's and began replaying her memory to her. Lilith was in shock at seeing herself fight. She couldn't believe she said something like that either. "D-did everyone hear me say that?" "No. Just me. Not even twilight heard it. That said, you've been 'asleep' for a very long time." "Why'd you say it like that?" "During your sleep, you would occasionally wake up with violent outbursts and then pass back out. You never made it out of this room during these outbursts but was still worrying. I asked Luna if she could see anything in your dreams but said she couldn't see anything but a black void and a red wall of sorts. But that aside, I want you to go meet discord. He was reformed not too long ago. I'm hoping he can help you remember things. He should be somewhere near flutter shy's cottage." "Alright then. I'll go talk to him." I appear within the area of flutter shy's cottage. Looking around I don't see anything resembling how Celestia described him once. I head inside the cottage saying, "Flutte-" I look at the door when I open it and see a figure somewhat resembling discord plastered into the door like it was part of the design. Yet I can feel signs of life from it. I carefully tap its forehead and. . . nothing happens. Maybe my senses are of- "Boo!" Discord jumps off the door and becomes 3d as he says that. I of course respond in kind with a scared scream as I jump back and slam into a wall. "Ooh. Looks like that hurt." He offers me a clawed hand. I take it as he helps me up. "You must be Lilith. I've heard so much about you." I watch as he suddenly gains giant ears resembling mine. "Wow. Your magic feels different." It feels like its jumbled. "Yes! I am a creature of chaos after all. So I hear you are having trouble with your memory. Celestia has asked me to help you unlock your memories." Suddenly I'm on a couch as he now sits in a swivel chair, wearing glasses while holding a clipboard like some kind of psychiatrist. He places a claw on my head and makes magic flow through me. It sends a shiver through my body as I feel something crumble. Then, I black out. Sign x2Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
FindingsAuthor's Note If there's a way to add sound effects id like to know. Also a generator for zecora would be nice. I'm not good with riddles. Edit:I forgot to include the tag but Lilith is an OC of mine and the third person isn't permanent Findings "We were meant to rule together little sister. Will you accept my friendship?" "Im so sorry! I missed you so much big sister!" The two alicorns embraced each other while crying happy to be united. Unfortunately their reunion was immediately interrupted by a purple mist that flew past every pony there. They turned their gaze to it as it forms a ring like shape that glows a dim red with the center facing the floor. The ring spins a bit and hits the floor, then starts going up. Although, as it starts moving up, a figure is being left from it as if it was creating it. The creature was as tall as Twilight and It was blue. There was a small red ring clipped to one of its ears and one gold ring around each wrist. Pinkie Pie was the first one to greet them immediately placing a hoof on their shoulder while saying, "Hi! Where-" Just as she touched them, their head turned fast and looked Pinkie in the eyes. Its own eyes were a black void with red irises that stared back at them. Pinkie felt a shiver run down their spine and just before she could do anything BLING. The creature disappeared in a flash leaving behind a small amount of staticky red mist that quickly dissipated. While worrying, they all pushed it to the back of their minds for a moment wanting Celestia to enjoy the reunion. Once they left and made it back to pony vile, Celestia congratulated twilight and gave her a new mission which allowed her to stay with her new friends. once everyone left, she whispered to twilight, "Please try to find that...being. I'm not sure what their intentions are but they gave off a sinister feeling. Good luck." and with that, went off. Over time she tried to find any signs of the entity that appeared but nothing. No strange reports of any kind. However, Luna saw a strange area within the dream realm, It was clouded with black and red ink. She couldn't sense any pony dreams in there so she left it alone since it creeped her out as well. Eventually the time came where twilight and her friends had to fight discord. As discord was being turned back into stone, he yelled out "Don't mess with the dream! Don't go near it!" as he became stone. Confused, Twilight went to ask Princess Celestia about it. "and that's all he said. It didn't feel like a trick but... Do you know what he meant?" "I'm sorry twilight but dreams are more of-" "I know what he meant." Princess Luna was walking in when she heard the conversation. "Theres this...Odd area we have seen. Its an inky area that we don't dare to approach. It gives us...a bad feeling. We haven't said anything because we thought it would be ok if we left it alone." "But what if its something that can stop or change discord for good?" Twilight asked. "It might be possible your highness." Applejack chimed in. "for the short time we knew discord, I think he would try to steer any pony from something that could be used against him. Maybe the black ink and ominous feeling was also his doing." "That is a possibility. Dear sister, could you please check it out? If this theory proves true, we could change discord without having to locate the spells required." Luna looks to them nervous but hesitantly agrees. "We-I shall look into it." Luna really disliked the feeling the mass of inky dreams gave her and wanted nothing to do with it but if its just one of discords magic spells making her feel that way, then she could get through it. Every pony there except Fluttershy agreed to stay the night there. As the day past, Luna spent her time mentally preparing to enter the inky dream. She hopes that the worst part of it is just passing through its atmosphere. Once night falls she starts her dream duties. Once she finishes her rounds, she makes her way to the inky dream. Just passing through it made it feel like she was going through mud. But she was relieved when she made it to the other side. The muddy feeling vanished as soon as she was in and was greeted by a bright green landscape. Green grass, blue skies and red clouds. "red clouds?" she thought to herself. It was the only thing that was off about this place. She looked around again. The hills strangely made a loop. She flew around searching for anything. But the land was barren. Devoid of any life except grass and trees. She figured discord would of set some other kinds of preventative measures in here. She landed to walk. "but why would he hide something in a dream? Or in a place so calm for that matter." She said aloud. When she faced forward she noticed a being in front of her. It was sitting down while hugging it's knees like a fetal position. It's eyes were closed. She took a step towards it, the grass softly crunching under her hoof. It's ears twitched as it helps itself stand up, slightly hunched forwards with its fingers facing the ground. Luna stopped in her tracks as it started emitting an ominous aura. It was the being that appeared when she was turned good again. "A dream...? So then this is a dream and not a prison...? How...lovely." it's voice sounded deep and low like someone whispering, yet it was loud like someone talking normally. "then that means I can escape. But first..." Their head slowly turned to Luna. The black void and shining red eyes stared at her. bling the hedgehog was suddenly close to her, reaching out with a sharp toothed smile spread across its face. Luna, terrified, ejected herself out the dream and huddled in her room till morning. Once Celestia had raised the sun, she had told her about what she'd seen. "So it was a genuine warning. I'm sorry I had you check sister." Just then, Fluttershy came flying in a bit late, looking a little sleepy. "Sorry I'm late every pony." "If they called it a prison then they must be evil!" Rainbow dash said. "o-or they just thought they were trapped there. Being stuck somewhere all alone for so long. I couldn't imagine what that would be like." Fluttershy said quietly while touching her hooves together nervously. "Despite how they might look, let's try not to assume the worst." Celestia said. "Yeah! Maybe they want friends and a welcoming party!" "Luna and I will be visiting them together. If they're trapped, we can help them." They immediately got to it, all of them went with Luna into the dream realm. Each shuddering at the feeling of passing through the ink. "this place is huge!" Pinkie pie said as she ran through and completed a looping hill. "these clouds are weirdly color-" the cloud turned into a static red mist as rainbow dash touched it. She got worried about inhaling it but it instead seemed to pass through her without doing anything. Then the mist disappeared. Luna began to worry as she flew to the sky and looked to where she last saw the hedgehog. Except no one was here anymore "I'm sorry sister but... They've gotten out." "But how's that possible? If it's a dream, then shouldn't the dream disappear without the dreamer?" Twilight asked. "it must of been the body that was imprisoned here." Now the ponies are worried and get to trying to locate the hedgehog.
Exploration"Well that could of gone better. I scared away the alicorn. Guess I can't blame them. I do look...scary I guess. Still though, first sentient being I meet in a long time and I scare them away" sigh. "But they said dream so I can leave this place. I tried to leave once but couldn't teleport so maybe this is a sort of pocket dimension? If that's the case then..." I hold out my arm and the ring around my wrist expands and starts sliding off. Once it reaches my finger tips I gently tap it which causes it to start spinning. It gets bigger until its about 15ft wide and tall. I cross my fingers...and a image appears in the center! "Yes!" And then I immediately face palm, wondering why I didn't try this. "All that time alone! Augh!" sigh "Whatever. At least I can finally leave." I look at the portal and see that it leads to the edge of a forest. Stepping through it, I'm met with a nice brisk breeze. "Ah...Finally. Some real air." I say to myself as I take in a deeeeeep breath. "Alright then. I guess I should find out where I am first." ... "So there's the forest...Dark forest that seems endless, and a cottage...hm. Think ill check out the cottage first." I fly myself over it to see. Maybe I can find some people here. Upon looking around I see a chicken pen and sleeping chickens. Peering into the window, i don't see anyone so I teleport myself in. Bling. "Cozy." Going upstairs and I enter the bedroom to see a yellow Pegasus. What odd coloration. Not nocturnal so if i find anything else like this one, they wont be awake. If this one is like the one earlier then sentient ponies or horses are what will be the dominant species here. But I should get the lay of the land before sunrise. I don't wanna get lost. But I should try and practice my faker form I guess. Hopefully Ill be accepted more easily like that. But first... I slowly reach my hand out fingers spread. Getting closer to their face ever so slowly as to not wake them up. Then I make my hand look like I'm pointing, and boop their snoot. "Boop." I look into a glass plane. Yikes. I wipe the black substance building out the corner of my eye. I focus a bit and try to imagine looking like the actual sonic. I manage to change my irises from red to blue. Nothing else changed. Then I start vocalizing trying to change how I sound. No matter what I do, I somehow sound worse so I stick to my room volume whispering. "Who's there?" The pony says groggily. I give them a glance and then teleport myself out before she could see me properly. Though I imagine she heard that, so I fly a different direction until I reach a sign that says, "welcome to pony vile" and as I suspected, the main population seems to be pony like beings but they're all asleep. "Is that a life sized gingerbread house?!" I walk up to it and examine it. It looks tasty. Or, the roof does at least. I saw the roof from a distance and thought it was an actual gingerbread house. But I can smell some sweets inside. Takes me back. I fly around for awhile, exploring the town and examining the building structures. As I'm flying over it, I spot an apple orchard. Teleporting to it, I see that it's very well kept. I take an apple and sink my teeth into it. ... So good! I may not need to eat but it's definitely nice to. The amount of flavors to taste. But then, the sun starts to rise. It rises really quick. In fact, it reaches the apex of the sky in seconds before halting there. how odd. I grabbed another apple and was mid bite when I heard someone yell "What are you doing ya varm-" I look to the sound which is a wrinkled old green pony who turns pale up on seeing my face and retreated back inside. I get that I look bad but still. I remain floating and just as I'm about to to take a bite of the apple a pan smacks me in the face. It didn't hurt but it was unexpected and disorienting. "Didja hit em?" I hear the same old pony ask. "Eyup." I turn to the new voice and see a red pony that's large. They shrink backwards a little when they see my face but ultimately stands their ground. Black substance leaks from my eyes again which really seems to bother them. I wipe it away and grab a few more apples. "Fine I'll leave but I'm taking these apples with me!" I say sticking a tongue out at them. They looked almost shocked to see I could speak and I fly to the forest. I wander the forest for some time. Eating the apples as I do. I toss the last apple into my sharp toothed mouth and crush it between my teeth, enjoying the juices that flow out of it when I see a hut. In the doorway of said hut, a zebra that looks horrified. I scratched the back of my head and opened my mouth to say something when they retreated back inside of their hut. I hear a racket. I imagine they're barricading the door. I Jimmy the door and sure enough, it doesn't open. "Stay back evil creature! I will not let you eat my finest features!" The zebra yells from inside. "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm hoping you could let me in and tell me about this place." I slump my head forward a bit as I listen to myself. I sound so creepy and sinister with my voice. Well I'll just have to show them I mean no harm. As I'm about to try to push the door again. Bling I teleport back a bit as a purple bolt lands where I just was. It doesn't leave much of a spot so I assume it wasn't meant to hurt me too much if it hit. I look around and the ponies from that night are here. Including the one from that cottage I was at earlier. They surround me looking ready to fight. Well, the only two who aren't are a pink pony who looks at me unsure, and the yellow one. Just as I was about to speak, two alicorns fly down and land in front of me. The one from the dimension I was 'stuck' in and a completely different alicorn with a colorful mane. I smile nervously with a slightly determined look. This is going to be a rough day... Author's Note Hope you enjoyed.
GreetingsAuthor's Note Thank you for reading., Greetings It feels like the alicorns are staring me down. I nervously smile but steel myself and put my clenched fists down as I stand as tall as possible, looking at them over my shoulder. I can feel it. I'm not at full power. I'm missing something. "But still..." I raise my fists to my sides as a smile spreads across my face. A white and red mist like aura starts emitting from my body. "I won't go down without a fight...!" They tense up but otherwise don't do anything. The tension grows until the white Alicorn speaks up. "We aren't here to fight. We came to welcome you to Equestria. But after we've confirmed who or what you are and your intentions here." "Really?" I ask as I lower my hands. The aura almost immediately dissipates. They look even more nervous as they hear my voice more clearly. "That's nice." I cant help but die inside a little as I continue to sound evil. "I'm sorry for how I sound. Try as I might, I can't alter it to sound...better." I say nervously rubbing an arm. "I think its best we talk at the castle. This forest is dangerous." I nod as they start leading me to a carriage of sorts. I don't know what its called." Tired of walking I float with them instead. Five of the ponies stay behind me while the pink one bounces next to me. "You want a cupcake? I made it especially for you!" She says cheerily while holding a blue frosted cupcake in her hand. "When'd you even make that?" I ask as I take it. It smells wonderful. Some flashes of memory come to me but I cant make out what they are. Deciding not to worry about it, I just bite into it. Some of the ponies look away from my sharp teeth. I bite into it and a the flavor floods my senses. "It tastes awesome. Thank you." I look at her and give her a smile making sure to not smile too much to where my teeth show. So far, she's the only one willing to keep eye contact. The yellow one gives me some eye contact. Though, just a little. "I'm Pinkie Pie! That's Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna!" She says while seemingly teleporting between each one to introduce them. "nice to meet you all." I say to them. They don't respond which makes it a little awkward. "I see that you can fly. Would you rather fly along side us or ride with us?" Celestia asks. I think about for a bit and I haven't got to stretch my flying muscles in awhile. "Nah I'll fly along side you." The rest of the trip is mostly silent with Pinkie rambling on about how she's gonna throw me the biggest welcoming party. But as soon as a castle comes into view, I ask them if thats our destination. Luna nods. "I'll be exploring!" and I speed ahead as fast as I can, creative a sonic boom as i break the sound barrier. Strange. It feels like this isn't my fastest...Can't worry about that now! In no time I'm within the castle corridors pushing past guards who seem a little distressed upon seeing me. Of course they try to stop me but... A guard tries to grab me but i slide under them and wave my finger at them with a smile. "Too slow. Want to try again?" I watch them shiver at the sound of my voice and then retreat. My smile fades immediately. Again the black substance is building so I wipe it away. Wonder why it keeps coming back. As the ponies made their way into the castle, they spread word of the visitor so the guards don't panic too much. Once they reached the throne room, they started talking. "He doesn't seem like he's bad." Applejack says. "They seem more misunderstood, the poor thing." "Yeah, and he's a pretty great flier! Almost as fast as me!" "Y-yes. Even when he broke into my cottage he didn't do or take anything." "HE DID WHAT?!" every pony asked loudly which caused her to shrink a little. "o-oh, he didn't break in per say... because nothing was broken. I even caught him trying to change his appearance and voice so he could fit in better. I think he's really nice." "His eyes are hard to stare at though." "Not when you get used to them. And he likes cupcakes, how bad could he possibly be?" Pinkie chimes in jumping up and down. "That aside, perhaps he can live in pony vile peacefully. We can also keep an eye on him so he doesn't do anything like that again." Twilight says. Both Princesses nod. "Then its settled. Let's get them in here so we can at least ask what their name is and what their home was like." With that Celestia teleports Lilith in. Finding some random armor after getting bored of wandering around I decide to do a little role play. "I the am the brave knight who's come to rescue you from the evil! Now prepare to be defeated-" I do a spin and before I know it, I'm in the thrown room in front of all the ponies. I cough a few times and snap my fingers which makes the armor turn into a silver mist that disappears. "What happened to the armor?" Luna asks me. "And what were you doing in Fluttershys house?" Rainbow gets a bit in my face. "And-" Applejack starts to speak but I cut her off. "And why did I eat your apples, I know." "... You did what?" Applejack asks confused. "Uh, nothing." I clear my throat. "The armor is back in its original place. As for what I was doing in Fluttershy's house, sorry Fluttershy, I was exploring my surroundings. I was curious what kind of beings live here. Sorry." I bow. "So we've all decided that it would be best if you lived in pony vile. Is that ok with you?" Celestia asks. "I don't mind. Sounds like it could be...Fun." "Yes..." Luna says wanting to comment on my voice but then remembers I cant control it. "We only wish to know your name and back ground. So speak." Bit demanding but whatever. "Guess I really haven't introduced myself. Names Lilith." Every pony gasps. "As for where I'm from..." I shrug "I can't remember. Ever since that day that I came here, I can't remember anything about my past no matter how hard I try." "You're a girl?" Almost all the ponies ask at the same time except for the princesses and Pinkie pie. The princesses just stifle their surprise. "Yes. Guess its hard to tell with my voice huh?" I say with a disheartened laugh at the end. "Are you sure you can't remember what your past is like?" Celestia asked. I nod. "My oldest memory is appearing in those ruins with you all. I can't remember anything past that." "That is unfortunate. But for now settle in at Twilights house. We'll try to recover your memories when we have the spells required. Now, I wish to speak to you in private. As for the rest of you, thank you for coming." They all bow and then proceed to leave. Once they're all gone she speaks again. "We plan to release discord after a wedding. We want you to help reign discord in." "...Who?"
Chapter 4"Discord is a Draconequus we sealed over a thousand years ago. He's a creature of chaos. We plan to unseal him to try and convince him to use his powers for good instead of evil. We want you to be there to help him change his ways. I don't want to assume but...Well..." "Your appearance looks a tad bit evil." Luna says bluntly. "Yes." Celestia sighs. "We are hoping that you might be able to show him how to get to the path of good." "I see." Lilith scratch the back of her head. "I've already said this I think, but I don't remember anything from my past. Nothing. Not even a sliver of who I really was. I shouldn't be present during his unsealing either. I think you might be right. What if he's able to bring up an evil side to me? Doubt it would be good to have two problems so, sorry. I'm going to have to decline." "That is unfortunate. Well, we are going to have a wedding soon and we'd like you to attend. It would be great to introduce you to another princess and twilights brother. Princess Cadance is a princess of love. " Celestia was thinking that if anyone could tell if Lilith was good, it was her. "As for your past, I believe I can help with that." Luna says. "Really? If you can help me remember that would be great!" Lilith smiled happily. "So what do you need me to do?" "Dream." "Oh. I can't do that." She said with her smile immediately disappearing. "You can't Dream?" "More like, I can't sleep. During my time in my dimension, I never slept once nor did I feel the need to." Luna was filled with hope. Now there's someone who might be able to enjoy her night. But she wasn't sure whether or not Lilith could enjoy something like that. She saw she liked flavor. "Do you want us to escort you there?" "Nah, just tell me where Twilight lives. I've explored most of pony vile on my first night." "Very well. Twilight lives in a tree like house." "Got it. Thanks for having me." Bling Lilith disappeared in a staticky red mist. "A creature that doesn't dream is odd. I will be sure to see what is really occurring." Luna said to Celestia. I appear inside Twilights house and the first thing I notice is how many books she has. Oh, and three pony kids. Which I guess are fillies. They stare at me with a look of terror. "Hello." With that, they scream and then run out of the library. I sigh when I see a little purple dragon do the same, yelling for twilight as they run up the stairs. A certain purple pony comes down to greet me. "The princess must of teleported you here for you to arrive so fast." "I can teleport myself. Watch" Bling Bling Those noises rang out each time I disappeared and reappeared nearby, each time leaving behind the static like red mist. Twilight saw it and tried to bottle it, but it dissipated like always. "What is that stuff?" She asked frowning. "No clue." I say with a shrug. Only seems to appear when I teleport. "Do you need to build up...magic or something else to teleport?" "Nope. It's instant." We talk for a bit and she offers to show me around pony vile which I decline. In hindsight, I probably should of said yes. Would of made it easier for the villagers to accept me. She goes on errands which takes most of the day and before I know it, its night. Like literally, the sun and moon are raised and lowered very quickly. But along with the moon came stars I didn't get to enjoy my first night here. Flying to the top of the tree I look at the consolations. "Very pretty." I say to myself. But something about the sky feels... "You say that but you feel like the sky is missing something." I turn to see princess Luna talking to me. "... yes. I can't explain it. A memory tells me its missing something. But I can't recall that memory. It...Bugs me." "Do you like it?" "Yes. Its pretty." I reach out to try and grab a star. Luna looks at me and sees one eye is completely black. No color. Just black. Noticing shes starring at me, I blink and look at her. I didn't notice any of this happening but my eye turns back to normal when I blink. "Whats up?" Luna looks up. "The stars." I laugh a bit which sounds chilling. "What that means in this context is 'whats on your mind' " She thinks at it for a bit but shakes her head. "Nothing." "alright then. I imagine you must be a bit busy at night so Ima head back inside. Enjoy your day- er, night." I don't think I'll ever get over how I sound. I teleport back inside and stay in. During the night I try my best to recall the past to no avail. Feels like its locked or something. Time passes quickly and its morning. I sigh angrily at my missing past and walk to the library. "Maybe some reading will take my mind off thi-" They are all in a language I don't understand. "Tsk. Of course." Twilight walks in saying, "Hey, I want you to come with me." She sees me slightly angry. "What's wrong?" "I don't read this language. Nothing more." I walk past her. "Lead the way." During our walk I notice no ponies are in the streets so either they aren't usually out or they're not here. Twilight leads me to the misleading gingerbread roof house. But going inside and its somehow really dark. I can see the ponies waiting eagerly to jump at me but I don't think anyone else would of been able to. But of course, I already know how this is gonna go. When the lights go on and they yell surprise, I give a polite and nervous smile. They scream in terror when they see my features and run out. The only ones left are the ones who greeted me in the forest. Minus the princesses. Oh, and the cake. I droop a little and wipe the black build up. "Welp, more cake for me anyways." Pinkie looks a bit deflated. "I'm sorry I-" "Don't worry about it. This sorta thing was bound to happen with how I look. My fault for not introducing myself to them first before the surprise." Pinkie offers me a plate of cake. Its blue like me. Just before I could grab it twilight yelled, "My brother?!" This caused pinkie to swerve and I missed a bite of the cake and hit my head on a table instead. "My brother sent me a letter of invitation instead of inviting me himself." She said looking sad. I didn't hear her read out whatever she was holding so I looked towards her and asked, "Your brother what?" "He's getting married."
Wedding dayI stick my face in the glass as I watch the buildings fly by. "So cool! Never been in a train before." I look to twilight whos sulking in a corner. "I'm sorry. I Thought you already knew about the wedding." "It's not you that I'm upset at. It's my brother. You would think he'd at least tell me face to face and not in a letter." "Maybe he had important business? What's that?" I ask as I see a pink wall approaching us. Pretty soon we passed through it which sent shivers down my body. "Brr. That felt weird." I stand up to go to my seat but the train screeches to a halt and I face plant into the floor. "Ow..." "Oh dear. Are you okay?" Flutter shy asks me holding out a hoof. "Yup. Couldn't be better." I take her...hoof as she helps me stand back up. I bust down the train door and streetch with a big grin. I let out an exhale and see that I'm met with a bunch of guards. A lot of them. Wonder why they didn't see them when we were pulling in. Or did I somehow miss a bit of time? Whatevs. I can see that they're trying to look stoic but they're scared of me. Not unusual. Maybe I could pull a little prank...I snap myself out of it. Unusual. Then I see Twilight trot off somewhere. I go to follow her but I remember that I haven't explored canterlot. I'm sure she'll be fine. I fly off to the city. Thankfully the guards seem to know who I am and allow me to walk around. The streets are...different from what I've seen from pony vile. Mainly the ponies. They keep their head held high. Literally. They don't pay any attention to me which works in my favor. No screaming in terror. I open the door to a bakery and say, "lets eat." Upon entering I plaster my face to the display cases looking at the assortment of sweets. I see one I like. "How much is that cookie cake?" "That'll be 20 bits." "20 Bits?! ... Whats that?" I tilt my head slightly in confusion. The clerk sighs and looks at me. "If you dont.have..the..." Their sentence slowed to a halt as they took in my appearance and then started stuttering. "D-dont wo-worry about it. Its on the h-house!" They hand it to me and flee to the back. Occasionally peaking back up to see if Im still there. I sigh and take my cookie cake and leave. I bite into it and savor that flavor of cookie and frosting mixed together. As I'm finishing it up I see a pink beam of light come from the castle area. I mumble to myself as I take one last bite and head towards there. Flying over I dont see much but looking up, I do. Some weird bug ponies. "..and do a little shake!" I look to see twilight finishing some weird dance. Twilight was distraught and a little suspicious that Cadance didn't remember her. They all heard a faint Bling and a louder one as Lilith appeared. Cadance yelped in surprise as Shining Armor went forward, horn glowing as he readied a spell. "What are you and how'd you get in?" Only Cadance and Shining Armor saw this but Lilith's irises flickered a bit. "I'm Lilith. So Twilight, who are these two?" Lilith's attention seemed more focused on Cadance like they were confused about them being there. "My brother Shining Armor and my foal sitter, Princess Cadance." "OH! So you two are the ones getting married? That's nice. You sure though?" "Sure about what?" Shining Armor asked. "Marrying a Bug." Lilith's posture slumped a little as they stared at Cadance with a tilted head and smile. Cadance felt a chill run through their spine as they felt Lilith's eyes bare into their soul. "Don't call her that." Shining Armor said defensively. Twilight took note instead. She'd never seen Lilith be like that. "Right. My bad. Could be offensive term to her." Lilith finished the last bite of her cookie cake getting a bit of red frosting near their mouth. "Just be careful. Wouldn't want anything to happen to you." Lilith says licking the red frosting. With that she disappears with a teleport, creating the usual staticky red mist. Throughout the day, twilight closly watches Cadance. Unbeknownst to Lilith, her irises would completely disappear at times. Usually when someone was scared of her or shooed her away cause of her appearance. Eventually Twilight tried to talk to her brother about it. Before she could, Cadance had took him to the back room. "We need to get rid of that creature twilight is associated with. "Lilith? But she's been ok'd by Princess Celestia. She may be a bit rude but..." "Are you disobeying me?" Twilight watched as Cadance had used some kind of magic on her brother that made his eyes all wonky. She gasped. She knew something was wrong with Cadance. She tried her best to convince her friends but they wouldn't listen. So she turned to Lilith who was out on a balcony watching the stars. She told her that she had a plan to convince her friends that the current Cadance was a fake. "To lead off you'll start by telling every pony what you really see." Lilith thought about it for a bit. Their stomach sunk as they thought about it but agreed. Its a solid plan she came up with but I don't know if they'll listen to me. I hope they do. We bust in when their appearently gonna start doing their vows. I already feel butterflies in my stomach. "That isn't the real princess Cadance! Tell them." "Right. That cadance is a fake. She's actually-" "What is that creature?" the faker points at me. "Kinda ironic you sa-" "It emits pure evil! I sense no love inside it!" She says immediately cutting me off. "It's been tricking you all. It told me to play along so it could gain the throne and rule over equestria! It's even tricked twilight into believing it!" Twilight and I are stunned. Twilight looking shocked seems to only help her case. But surely They'll notice that what she says contradicted to her asking what I am. "So its true!" Rarity is the first to speak. "What? N-no I-" "I knew you were always evil!" Rainbow was the second to say something as she started flying. "You really thought you could trick us?" Apple jack was next. "C'mon you can't possibly..." I can feel it. All their eyes are baring into me with distrust. That's all it took for them to turn on me...? I can't really blame them but still. It hurts. It hurts so much. I may not of been here long but I still trusted and liked them a lot. So this is what it feels like to be painted as a villain by people you like. Its...soul crushing. My vision starts to blur as tears run down my face. I can't breath. I need to run. "No...I can't..." "You can't what? Can't believe we figured you out?" Rainbow Dash says. I feel a wall in my head break. I cant take it anymore. They all watch as Lilith crouches a bit with her head in her hands as black fluid rapidly falls from her eyes. She lets out a staticky scream that reverberates throughout the castle, then they disappear in black mist. Twilight falls to her knees feeling utterly defeated. She doesn't know if Lilith will ever be back. She can only watch them walk by. "It's okay twilight. I'll leave you here with Cadance so she can talk to you." Celestia says. They all quickly leave and close the door behind them. Twilight turns to the fake Cadance with a look of determination. But Cadance casts a spell that makes green flame appear around twilight which sends her underground.
Personality LeakIt wasn't long before Twilight had made her way up and crashed the wedding with the real Cadance. Chrysalis became worried as she saw Celestia approaching. The two clashed with their magic for a few seconds and Chrysalis was victorious. She was pleasantly shocked at her new found power. "I'm even more powerful than Celestia!" The bug queen said loudly with joy and let out an evil laugh. Celestia told Twilight and her friends to go and gather the elements. So, off they went immediately. They struggled the whole way there. Even fighting off a platoon of changelings and making their way inside of a building where the elements were held. They were happy thinking they'd gone through the worst of it. But when they opened the door, they were met with another platoon of changelings and a another platoon quickly surrounded them. "Twilight and her friends will stop you!" But of course Cadance was proved wrong very soon. Twilight and the rest of her friends were brought in as prisoners. Calling them fools for believing her lies and pointing out that twilight and that other creature were the only ones who knew. "I'm sorry Twilight. I should of believed you and Lilith." "It's ok. She fooled every pony. I'm just worried about Lilith. She was genuinely hurt and I haven't seen that black teleporting stuff before. I hope she's ok. And I hope she can forgive us..." Twilight realizes she should of known better than to get Lilith's help when everyone barely knows her. Chrysalis laughs. "So what was that thing? Haven't seen anything like it. . . . No matter." Chrysalis breaks out in a song and starts singing as she goes outside the window and watches her changelings below. While she's distracted, Twilight frees Cadance from the goo that's holding her down. Cadance then proceeds to free Shining Armor from her spell. Twilight goes to free Celestia who falls from the cocoon still weakened. Shining Armor gets to working on creating a shield to force them out immediately. Crysalis comes in and laughs at the weakened ponies. "You really think you can force us out now? Ha! But just in case..." She fires a magic beam at them and hits. Green goo covers Cadance and Shining Armor. She cackles as the goo covers their horns and bodies, stopping them in their tracks. "Princess Celestia you have to bring Lilith back here. Use a teleportation spell." Twilight whispers. Celestia nods and begins charging her horn which Chrysalis notices. She spins around and yells, "Stop that this instant!" But its too late. A white flash emanates from the middle of the room and from it, Lilith appears. But she's hunched over. Her hands are uncurled and fingers pointing to the ground as she stands like a deactivated robot. Her eyes are void black as usual except no irises can be seen in either one. Completely void of life. Chrysalis was scared at first but quickly calmed down and even chuckled. "What is that? A construct? Golem? What ever it is, it seems you forgot to feed it some magic. Hehe, maybe it actually needs love instead." She laughed loudly as she approached Lilith. She even poked at Lilith a few times and nothing happens. She looked Lilith in the eyes. I can't see very much. Wherever I am it's pitch black. It hurts I think to myself as I grip at my chest. Hurts a lot. I sit down and try to lean against a wall only to lay on the floor. The ground ripples like its black water. Endless below me. Black sky and black ground. No clouds... Where the hell am I? I groan and force myself back to my feet and begin walking this endless void. Each step echoes as if I'm walking in a puddle. Feels like I've traveled for hours. Just as I was about to give up I run into a wall of sorts. It's red and staticky. I hit it a few times but nothing happens except leaves my fists covered in some kind of red liquid. It isn't blood because it doesn't smell like iron. It doesn't have a smell at all. I look back at the wall and its disappeared. I turn and gasp when I come face to face with my reflection. At least I think it is. It mimics my movements but instead of black running down my eyes, its red in the reflection. As I put my hand to it, it suddenly grabs my arm and tries pulling me in. After a bit of struggling I manage to pull it out instead. I take a defensive position. "Who are you?" I try to say but no words come out. "Don't recognize me? I'm you." They walk towards me but I try to keep my distance. "No need to be scared." Now I know what its like to be on the receiving end of that voice. "Don't you hate it?" They teleport to me and drape an arm around my shoulder. Don't you hate how they treated you?" "A little yes, but I can't exactly blame them." "Of course you can. Did you see the way they stared at you? Like they never trusted you for a second. They aren't your friends. Destroy them." A ring appears that shows them all looking at me. Their faces are distorted so I can't tell what their expressions are. "Straight to the point, aren't you?" I swat their hand off me. "No. I won't do that. You really think I'd turn on them? I've only just arrived here so of course they don't trust me that much. If anything it's my fault for getting so attached so quickly." They look at me angrily. "You don't get a choice. Either take it out on them, or that thing.". I look and see the same bug I met on the bridge with twilight, looking straight into me. "And if I refuse?" "I kill ALL of them instead." ". . . . . . Fine." "Good. Here is something to help you." They Pull out this odd black ring and hand it to me. "Looks like its over for you all." Chrysalis chuckles as she pulls back and turns to them. "Your trump card has failed." all the ponies look past her and gasp. Chrysalis wears a expression of confusion and turns to see what they're looking at. Running down Lilith's face is red liquid. It's seeping from her eyes in droves, coating her fur a bit red. Chrysalis backs up as a feeling of pure terror strikes her heart as the eyes in Lilith come back. Evil intent emanates from Lilith directed to Chrysalis. Their posture corrects itself as she stretches a bit and flexes her hands and lets out a nice long sigh. Chrysalis blinks and next thing she knows, she's outside facing the sky. Her neck hurts as if it was being held in a vice. As she blinks again, she hears Bling. When she opens her eyes, Lilith is suddenly in her vision smiling happily with her fist raised. Chrysalis tried to shield herself but pain was felt throughout her face as the punch connected faster than she could react. She was sent flying to the ground with a shattering crack as the ground broke beneath her. Her body rang with pain as she laid on the ground trying to get the air back in her lungs. Celestia and Twilight went to the window to watch this unfold while the others went to free Cadance and shining Armor. Feeling a sense of uneasiness. Chrysalis rolled to the side the second she got the air back in her lungs just as a punch landed where her head used to be. The ground also cracks leaving a crater where the punch landed. If that had hit, her head would of been crushed. Instead she crumples as a foot is driven into her abdomen which sends her backwards. "Too slow." Lilith says. She delivers a weaker punch to Chrysalis's body and repeats over and over. Each time Chrysalis cries in pain. She charges a magic burst that makes Lilith skid back. As Lilith skids to a stop, Chrysalis fires another magic blast which hits Lilith in the face, causing her head to rear back. Chrysalis closes the distance as a black ring flies from Lilith's hand towards her. Chrysalis just thinks Lilith had let go of it so pays it no mind and runs into it. Chrysalis stops in her tracks as she coughs and hacks as the ring is absorbed into her on contact. She falls down after a few more coughs as a black liquid fly's out her mouth with each cough. It even comes out her eyes as if it was tears. Meanwhile Lilith stands over her with a big sharp toothed grin. "W-what did you...do to me...?" Chrysalis sputters. "Don't you worry about it. It's just a little poison. Hehehe." and with that, She feels pain rack her body again as she goes flying into the sky from a kick. Bling. Lilith is now holding Chrysalis by the throat as they float in the air. Red fluid going down Lilith's eyes as she smiles. "You're fun to play with Chrysalis. But its time our game came to an end." She said raising a fist. "What are you...?" She asked weakly. "I. AM. GOD." With each word her voice became more distorted while she reeled her fist back. Just as she was about to deliver the finishing blow, a pink barrier washed over Lilith as it ejected all the changelings out of canterlot and into the distance. The second Chrysalis was out of sight, Lilith's vision faded to black.
Chapter 7Author's Note The storys are gonna come out slowly. Some personal issues have suddenly popped up. Sorry if this one is low quality as well. Chapter 7 I awake in the black void again. I rub my head as I stand back up. I faintly remember what happened now that I'm here. "That was fun. Even if I didn't get to finish the job." They laugh. "Thanks for lending me your body." I growl in frustration. "I didn't lend it to you. You forcefully took it." "Well I did say I was giving you something to help. You accepted what I gave you which also gave me consent to take your body for a bit of a spin. Though I guess technically its my body too." "But I didn't give you express permission to take it. No more pulling anything like that again." "Fine." Their expression sours a bit as they take a lazy posture, but soon perk back up with a sharp toothed smile that reached ear to ear. "But in turn, you have to play my game. A little race of sorts. The goal is to either defeat me, which is impossible, or make it to the finish line, which I conveniently made to look like your little ring portals. My goal will be to kill you before you can reach it. Of course, you won't actually die, but each time you lose, I gain a little power to control your body. Each time we do this race, This terrain will change. From a complex maze of a building, to that green area you were 'stuck' in for awhile." "Are you serious? You really think I'd play this game with those risks? No. Not happening. There's no telling what you'd do if you had control over my body." I stare at them defiantly. No way in hell am I agreeing to this. "You don't have a choice. Ill kill you even if you don't play along. This isn't something you want to fail in." They smile menacingly at me as they stand face to face. I punch them square in the face which sends them flying back and bouncing off the ground a bit before slamming into the red staticky barrier. They slouch forward a bit. "I'll tell you this since you won't remember anything once you wake up. This barrier, you created it. It keeps me in here trapped. If I win a certain amount of times, I can slip past and take control even if its for a few minutes. Each time my strength will build up until I can take your body for a bit of fun time. I may not have control for long but I promise I'll wreak havoc. Now, let the games begin!" They look up at me with a evil grin lunge at me. Lilith wakes up yelling, "I wont let you...win...?" The first 4 words were loud and the last was quiet as she examined her surroundings to see that she was in a bed within a spacious room. Lilith held her head as she tried her best to recall what she was dreaming about but to no avail. "I see you've awakened." Lilith looked up to see Celestia looking at her with slight concern. Lilith didn't notice or hear her come in. "Can you tell me what the last thing you remember is?" She asked as she sat at the side of the bed. "Um...I remember talking to twilight about confronting an imposter. Nothing after. Wait, is she ok?" Celestia looks slightly concerned yet was relieve that Lilith couldn't remember being turned against. "Yes. She's alright. Do you not remember the fight?" Lilith looked at her confused by her question. "You don't? That means that you weren't in control then. A relief but also troubling. Here." She presses her forehead to Lilith's and began replaying her memory to her. Lilith was in shock at seeing herself fight. She couldn't believe she said something like that either. "D-did everyone hear me say that?" "No. Just me. Not even twilight heard it. That said, you've been 'asleep' for a very long time." "Why'd you say it like that?" "During your sleep, you would occasionally wake up with violent outbursts and then pass back out. You never made it out of this room during these outbursts but was still worrying. I asked Luna if she could see anything in your dreams but said she couldn't see anything but a black void and a red wall of sorts. But that aside, I want you to go meet discord. He was reformed not too long ago. I'm hoping he can help you remember things. He should be somewhere near flutter shy's cottage." "Alright then. I'll go talk to him." I appear within the area of flutter shy's cottage. Looking around I don't see anything resembling how Celestia described him once. I head inside the cottage saying, "Flutte-" I look at the door when I open it and see a figure somewhat resembling discord plastered into the door like it was part of the design. Yet I can feel signs of life from it. I carefully tap its forehead and. . . nothing happens. Maybe my senses are of- "Boo!" Discord jumps off the door and becomes 3d as he says that. I of course respond in kind with a scared scream as I jump back and slam into a wall. "Ooh. Looks like that hurt." He offers me a clawed hand. I take it as he helps me up. "You must be Lilith. I've heard so much about you." I watch as he suddenly gains giant ears resembling mine. "Wow. Your magic feels different." It feels like its jumbled. "Yes! I am a creature of chaos after all. So I hear you are having trouble with your memory. Celestia has asked me to help you unlock your memories." Suddenly I'm on a couch as he now sits in a swivel chair, wearing glasses while holding a clipboard like some kind of psychiatrist. He places a claw on my head and makes magic flow through me. It sends a shiver through my body as I feel something crumble. Then, I black out.
