Impossible! How could I lose !? I screamed inside my mind as I floated alongside the dimensional current, just minutes after I was banished from the netherworld.  I am Mot! The supreme God of Death! My grip around my golden coffin tightened as my rage took control over my body, but I shook it off as quickly as it came. I will not let my emotions take me over, after all it’s only a matter of time before I can regain my throne. I grinned inside my coffin. I only have to find a suitable world, so I can gather enough souls to travel back. I thought, as my eyes scanned the current for dimensional tears. Now then. Which one is the closest? I merged my hand with the current, causing images to appear in my mind.

"What in the world?" I uttered aloud as I focused on the images. I could see vast amounts of colorful ponies gathered around a small village. They all had different color schemes and marks on their flanks, which only served to confuse me. "What is this ridiculous sight? a world of talking ponies?" I sneered. I also noticed that some of them had horns and wings. Unicorns and Pegasi... I pity the God who created this colorful land. That even a human child could have easily created. I sighed and removed my hand from the current. I have no choice, but to enter this world and gather all the souls I need.  I rubbed my eyes to clear them from that colorful vision. I really wish that the human world would be close, I enjoy being in that world since they treat me like a proper God, I must visit them after this whole ordeal is over. With my mind set on this, I entered the tear.


Equestria

I stepped out of the current to be greeted by a night sky covered with twinkling stars. I quickly scanned my surroundings and came to a conclusion that the dimensional tear must be located in some kind of gorge. Satisfied that no-one's around, I closed the tear with a snap of my fingers. Can’t have anyone following me, now can I? I started to laugh darkly as I levitated myself from the ground to get a better view of the gorge. Yes! soon the souls of these ponies will belong to me and I will sa-DONG!** Unfortunately, my monologue was cut short, when I levitated head first into a boulder.

"I hate this world..." I grumbled as I made my way above the gorge, paying more attention this time. In the distance I could see the village that appeared in my mind, surrounded by grass plains and a dark forest.

"Hmm..The village seems to be pretty small, I have to personally investigate if they have the high quality souls that I need" I glanced at the moon " But it looks like I have to wait till sunrise since mortals like to sleep at this hour" And with that I lowered myself to the ground and closed my coffin Might as well do the same... I thought as sleep overtook me.

"What the hay is this?" my eyes sprung open as I hear a voice from the outside.

"Ah don't know, but it looks like a weird golden statue" another voice piped up, the voices seemed to belong to young child's.

"We probably should leave it alone girls…" A third squeaky voice commented.

"No way! If we can get this thing to Ponyville we could earn our cutie marks"

You wouldn't dare...

"But what if this thing turns out to be dangerous?"

Listen! Listen to the squeaky one!

"Pfft! This thing’s is as harmless as a little bunny, just watch me!" After the scratchy voice said that I felt something poke against my coffin.

"See?"

I opened my coffin door very slowly causing the voices to yelp as I stick my head out of my coffin. Standing in front of me are three colorful pony fillies and they look absolutely frightened as I towered over them. "Now then" I address them with a calm voice "You have exactly five seconds to run away before I will rip your souls out. But, why five seconds?, you may ask. And the answer is: I am a merciful God"

"Bu-but we-"

"One!" The fillies tumbled over each other in their panic. "Two!" Their eyes widened in horror as they scrambled to their hooves. "Three!" With a scream of absolute terror they took off as fast as their little hooves could carry them. "Four!" I licked my lips. "Five!" and with that, I levitated towards the running fillies while cackling loudly.

"We’re sorry, mister!" The white one pleaded as I closed the distance more and more.The fillies were running out of the gorge towards the dark forest.

"I like you, squeaky one. That is why I'm probably going to spare your life...” I thought about this. “…probably" The thick forest would make flying difficult, it’s best if I follow them from the sky. I elevated myself above the forest as the fillies rapidly entered it. I kept my eyes on the fillies, but quickly lost them as the forest canopy grew thicker. "Accursed forest!" I yelled in anger as I tried to locate the insolent fillies. Not having any luck I growled in frustration. "To think they managed to outrun me is unacceptable! I will find them, and rip their souls out!” I thought, again. “...well, maybe just the scratchy one’s. Since she dared to disrespect me," I turned towards the village and grinned "If they manage to get out of this forest, they will most likely head towards that village and that’s where I shall go, too," I started to make my way towards the village, but stopped when I heard the familiar voices of the fillies scream in the forest. "Found you!" I screamed in glee as I propelled myself towards the forest. "No one escapes Mot! No one! Kiyehahahahaa!"
