Through a God's Eyes

Book

Alright we are back. This one is a bit more light on dialogue, so just consider it a fusion of the older formats.

After Coony left I was just broken. I knew I had to find her, but I figured I had to give her time. Eventually she would be found and then we would be able to talk.

Now that didn't stop me from trying to find her though. I did look at every possible outcome of her running away. Sadly in doing so I blocked about 95% of them. It only made sense because those were the times where she lived, so I wouldn't be able to resist interacting with her at some point. Therefor that whole timeline is blocked out from my viewing.

Useless foreseeing powers!

I just had to calm down and wait.

And wait...

And Wait.......

AND Wait..............

AND WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that was all of two minutes. For the first time ever time seemed to be going slower. Since I was immortal I never truly felt its pull, but now...it is different. I might actually have something to loose.

For weeks I didn't eat or sleep, I couldn't. Nor did I really have to, but that is beside the point. All I could do was be patient. Well at least I have the visions of Coony's untimely deaths to keep me sane.

In hindsight that didn't help at all.

It was two months before I heard anything from my little Coony. It felt like eons. All I had was a note that read,

Come to the Changeling hive. We have much to discuss. I am sure you know its location. If not, ask your dear sister. Come as soon as possible.

See you soon,

Cacuna

Ok did I read that right? I reread it at least six times, and each time it just felt wronger and wronger. Firstly, since when did she call herself Cacuna? I know she is probably angry, but still. And what was that about the Changeling hive? Why in the world would she ever be there? I know there is a chance for everything, but what could this one be.

Just then the vision flashed back at me. Several different retellings of her dyeing at the hands of the current queen of the Changelings. I had seen these weeks ago! I thought they were one of those flecks that would never happen. Still this can only mean one thing Coony went back to claim her crown.

The fly there was nearly instant. I didn't waste a second. As I walked into the chamber I notice the changelings clinging to the walls. They were nothing like my Coony; the lot of them disgusting like flies, or moths, scratch that I like moths. I could tell they smelled my love for Coony, but I rather fade then have them touch it. Maybe they felt my hostility or maybe it was the queen's orders but they seemed to stay at bay. Smart move.

I don't know what it was, but just imagining Coony, HERE, it was making me angry. 'You should burn them all'. A small voice in my head spoke up. And I agreed with him, lucky for them I had reached the throne room before doing anything irrational.

I walked into the room there sitting on the throne of these creatures was none other than my Coony. And yet there was something strange in the way Coony looked. She began the conversation.

"Glad you made it Black Phoenix." Her tone and diction didn't help prove she was Coony.

"You think I wouldn't come?" My voice cracking with concern.

"Considering how busy being you is must be, no I did not." I opened my mouth to respond, but her cold voice had frozen me. "As you can see after I left I returned to the hive. Thankfully after years of consuming godly love I was way beyond the level of my predecessor."

"So you called me to gloat how much better your life is after leaving me?" My cold tone almost matched hers.

"No, I called you for a very important reason. One that is a great concern to-" She didn't get a chance to finish.

"Listen! Coony, I know I made it look like I don't care, but don't be fooled. I can't function without you. For so long I didn't have a true friend. Then I met you, that little changeling that changed my life. The last few centuries were better than I could ever have hoped. I truly leaned that friendship is magic. But you know what? You helped me discover more then just friendship. You showed me love, true love. I may have squandered it when I was first offered, but please let me try again. Let me have a second chance, because when time finally feels slow to an immortal, well that is the final straw. It is what showed me that...Coony...I...I love you!"

She only stared at me. Come to think of it she had been showing much less emotion since last I saw her. Could becoming a queen somehow made her like this.

"I can sense that this is true. Unfortunately it is a ridiculous sentiment. Now that I am Queen of Changelings I can not frolic or show emotion for that matter. I must stay cool and collected for my subjects. You are too late Black Phoenix. But in return for raising me and feeding me such raw power, I will protect you from the hungry mouths of the changelings that surround you." This little speech seemed to crack her mask a bit as she seemed to show some sadness in there.

Now here is the worst part, without a doubt. This is the only time in all of time that the Black Phoenix was ever able to see a vision of the future that involved himself. I saw it all, Coony and I wedding, Coony becoming a god as a wedding gift, forever bliss, her domain of love blended perfectly with mine of chance, we were eternally happy. But wait what was that third thing that kept recurring throughout the visions. It grew and grew until...was it a god? What is this thing? And when my lone tear hit the floor it all vanished.

Cacuna, my Coony was too lost now to address her as that, then began to speak again, "Now that the pleasentries are over we must get down to business."

"There is more?" My voice barely escaping my mouth.

"Yes, tis the reason I called you down here of course." Her matter-of-fact voice made worse without emotion behind it.

"Alright say it already so I can go!" My pain was quickly becoming anger. I could already feel black flames blooming.

"Calm down, the news will only be worse if you hear it while angry." HA she is being the logical one.

"Then let it out already." My anger being forcibly suppressed only for her sakes.

She took a small pause as if gather her thoughts before letting it out,

"Black Phoenix, the news is....I am with child!" Her emotionless exterior finally broken through.

My eyes went wide, "WHAT!?!?"

Reader

Twilight slammed the book down, "WHAT!?!?"

"That is exactly what I said!" Black Phoenix's voice came out of the mystic text.

Twilight couldn't keep it in, "But how? When? Where?"

"Must I really explain the basics of the birds and the bees? Because if you haven't noticed it is a bit of an awkward topic for me." The stallion's voice again coming out of the book.

"No it's...it's fine, I just didn't expect that." she explained.

"You think I did?" If you could see his face it would probably be annoyed.

"Well you do know there is a chance for anything. And you know gods can impregnate mortals and-"

He interrupted her, "Please stop poking holes into my life story."

She looked a bit embarrassed, "oh sorry."

The two had been communicating like this for hours. Still it had been minimal because Twilight was following his advice and just reading before asking questions. Although a few were not answered in the text, so she asked the book directly,

"How are you talking to me through this book Black?"

"Magic, duh."

This was partly Twilight's fault for not being specific.

"Ok, so why are you talking to me through the book."

"Just cuz..........also there were specific questions people would want to ask that the book wouldn't answer. I didn't exactly have the time to write all the answers down so I recorded them.

This interested Twilight, "How did you know what they were going to ask? For that matter, how do you know everything I am going to say?"

"Don't you remember? I can see every possible outcome of any future. Like right now I can see you nodding at my explanation, or in another reality I see you backflipping. Don't ask why I am not exactly sure either. Basically I looked into every possible future this book has and recorded messages accordingly. Yours is a bit strange though; I seem to lose the connection after a certain spot. Like it just goes black. Oh well, I can talk to you until then."

Something in there bothered Twilight. "So nothing about that sounds the least bit strange to you? You don't even want to think of what might happen? I mean isn't it a bit obvious what it means?"

"Excuse my tone but, lady do I sound like a pony who thinks ahead? Honestly from what you have read does that sound like a good description of me?"

"Yet you had the foresight to record responses." She mumbled out upset at the contradiction. "Well you have a point there. Anyway, what was the rush to releasing the book? And who placed the magic on it?"

"My sister, she also made sure it would be indestructible in case Celestia tried to get rid of it. As for the rush well I can't say because it would spoil the book. Don't worry we are almost there though, just a couple chapters to go." His tone of voice practically allowing Twilight to see the wicked smile he most likely wore.

"So its back to plan A then?" Twilight asked.

"Yup, just keep reading." He answered back.

"Here we go." Twilight said while returning to the world of the book.
