Twilight expected you to be back at the library. She was wrong. Twilight looked around and called your name but could not find you, and she wouldn't until she started asking around town. Solely for the reason that you were planning to get your own house. You were walking to the town hall to, one, introduce yourself to the mayor, two, tell her that you don't mean any trouble, and three, fill out whatever paperwork is required for a large lot. Walking up the steps, the doors opens and the mayor walks out.

"Hello, you're the mayor are you not?" You ask, with a voice that is loud enough to counter the noise of ponies hanging around the town square.

"Why yes, and who are you? I haven't seen anyone like you around." She says, blushing. The mayor didn't expect to have anypony approach her, especially somepony like you.

"My name is Despair, I got here earlier today and I'm looking to buy the largest lot you can give me."

"Well it is odd that you would want to buy property after getting here only today. I've also never seen you before, but I suppose I could help you. Just come inside and fill out a sheet or two, and you can have the largest lot we have. It is outside of the town though, I'm not sure about your feelings on that. Also, there's no house on it, but you asked for a lot so I don't think that worries you, does it?" The Mayor said very professionally.

"I think you ponies are too trusting for your own good, but I thank you anyway. How much is it?" You say more politely than would be expected.

"Fifty thousand gold bits, if you can afford it."

"Very well then, where is the paperwork?"

"Inside, follow me."

After about thirty minutes you had finished everything, and you were heading of to your new plot of land. Which, as it turns out, was a full six acres on the east outskirt of Ponyville. The land itself looked over Ponyville, and reawakened a glorified feeling of control. Using a powerful form of telekinesis you uproot quite a few trees from the everfree forest, ripped them into planks, and built a massive frame. High ceilings, large rooms, a few sheds in the massive backyard that you now owned, and a twenty foot circle made of wooden posts that could rotate. After that you used your magic to search for clay, brought some up, and fired it right in front of you. The massive display of nearly black flames had brought a few ponies over, who then proceeded to watch the spectacle. You break the hardened clay into bricks, cover the walls of your house with them, and make the roof out of clay tiles as well. You decide that you want a wooden interior so you take more trees, split them into planks, and use a spell to fire proof them which had the added effect of polishing them as well. Floating them into your house, you walk inside and tell the rest of the ponies that they could follow. You place the planks into various places so that they all fit perfectly, and then you fuse them together using more of your magic. The interior was now a massive, polished, singular piece of wood. Following this great performance you conjured up the furniture, made from the most expensive fabrics, and carpeted the entire building except for the bathrooms. You added a crystal chandelier here and there, dug out a basement and put a cellar, and library down there, walking back outside, you made a garden growing various plants, and finally you decided to get the ponies home.

"I am sorry to say that you must leave now, as you can see all of this magic has made me tired." You say, faking a tired expression.

With plenty of disappointed noises coming from the local ponies, there was one that didn't leave.

"Hello Despair, there is still plenty of time before sundown, and you promised that you would teach me some things." Twilight said hopefully.

"How can I say no?" You ask with an expression of surrender.

"Yay! What are we going to start with? Transmogrification? Advanced telekinesis? Maybe quantum physical magic?" Twilight was quite obviously excited.

"It depends, can you read minds?" It was a very serious question.

"Hey Twilight are you okay? I saw a massive fire and thought something was burning and- oh hi there. Twilight who's the new guy?" A cyan pegasus had just darted from the skies.

"Hello Rainbow Dash, this is Despair." Twilight said politely.

"Despair huh? Why that name? Is it to make you sound cooler?" Rainbow teased.

"It is a fitting name for a soldier." You know what Rainbow was like, and you didn't have the largest amount of patience in the world.

"Soldier? So everypony is supposed to respect you then, is that it? You don't even look like a pony! What can you do that is special enough to make you a soldier?"

"He has very powerful magic Ranbow. She has a tendency to be more disrespectful to new people than she normally is." Twilight said, warningly. She knew where this was going.

"Powerful magic huh? I bet you aren't better than Twilight. Can you make yourself faster than me? I don't think so." Rainbow boasted. She didn't take Twilight's hint.

"My patience is wearing thin, pegasus." You say more rudely than you would have wanted to, given the circumstances.

"So the soldier that doesn't have patience, huh? Without patience how can you learn all the fancy spells your able to do? I bet the best you can do is levitate a fork!" Rainbow crossed a line that she shouldn't have crossed.

After hearing this, the sky around you darkens, clouds pull over your head, and lightening comes down, scorching circles around you. The rune on your stone flares with magic, your mane and tail burst into dark purple flame, and you head begins to be covered in stone slabs. The armor unfolds on your body spreading from the stone on your head. Soon you resemble a royal guard wearing the most protective armor available, with purple fire accenting each groove. You stomp each of your hooves individually, and in each part of the armor on your hooves six stone spikes shoot out, making your hooves leathal weapons. Now clad in black stone and dark purple fire you vent your rage.

"Rainbow Dash! Do not take me for some conjuror of cheap tricks! I am not trying to be a nuisance!" You roar in her direction.

Rainbow cowers as you calm down. The armor comes of, the flames die down, and you move closer to the frightened pegasus.

"I am only trying to survive." You say calmingly.

"How did you do that!" Twilight was fascinated by the display of power.

"Now is not the time, and I will be going to bed." You say with a yawn.

As you climb into the bed of your new mansion you wonder what to do with all the space that you have. You think through many solutions, but you decide on a training ground. It will be the finest ever made, and you will have it training the royal guard by the time you are done, that sounds nice. Oh well, that would have to wait a few days, between the magic of creating the house, dispelling the rumors of what you had just done, and deciding what your favorite food was, you would have to rest for a while. Besides, you still had four more ponies to meet.
