//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 -or- Changing Form! (Edited-New Section Added at the Bottom) // Story: A Jew Elf in Equestria // by Sir Mortimer of Eden //------------------------------// *Crack* “Hmmm…so it seems that she has finally found somepony that she has started to hold dearly to herself…that she cares for.” The spirit looked through one of the cracks in the prison that began to show, showing the world to her in Celestias' eyes. “Yes, he does look the young type…like a child, you know what Celestia…I think I’ll be the one to take care of him. Once this prison is broken of course for you see Celestia, your love for him will be the thing that will help me in my escape.” It chuckled, smiling if it could have at the way he looked at Celestia…her. But then the boy seemed to look at Celestia in a weird way. “Well it seems that I already have little control over you already Celestia,” It said in a smug way as it retreated back into the prison. ~~~~ “Uh…Celestia…are you ok?” I asked, worried about the smile on her face that seemed…possessive. Celestia just shook her head as if to shake away a feeling. “Yes…sorry Kyle I was just thinking about something, do not worry about me for there is much to show you around town,” she smiled, trying to take my mind off of her previous action. And it worked. “Well ok then, so where do we go now and what were you doing just then?” I asked, wondering why she was talking to the crowd of ponies back there. “Don’t worry Kyle, I was just giving the town a...,” she paused, trying to find the right word. “Notice…so that they won’t be afraid of you when they see you,” she finished as I gave her a satisfied look. “Ok then I’m fine with that, thanks,” she just gave her usual smile. “It was nothing Kyle, now let me give you a tour around the town while my sister does the same with Jimmy-,” Celestia got cut off as Luna pushed me out of the way, almost making me fall over. “Sister, I think it would be best if I were to give Kyle the tour so I can…get to know him better!” she yelled the last part as I gave a glance to Jimmy who just shrugged. “P-perhaps K-Kyle it would be best for you to go with Luna, for I have known Celestia for a long time and p-perhaps we both could catch up on what I had missed in Equestria,” she said as I gave him an amused yet accepting look. ‘Well I guess he does have a point there,’ I thought as I walked towards the sisters. “Don’t worry Celestia, I’m fine with being with Luna taking me on the tour,” Luna’s face brightened at what I had said while Celestia just nodded, accepting my request. “Come on Kyle, we have so much to show you,” she said, walking off down the street as I followed her while Jimmy went with Celestia. The town wasn't really that great as it looked like the ones back in the 1900’s or something but overall it seemed decent enough for a town next to a medieval castle. But in my opinion I thought Luna’s tour was far better than the town, she had put in so much enthusiasm that it would make the world’s best tour guide be quivering in fear due to Luna’s ‘Royal’ voice when speaking –which I had gotten used to- as we passed by each building or store. She also seemed to be more open and happy when it was just us walking around the town and not with Celestia and Jimmy, perhaps she just doesn't like Jimmy that much. But overall she seemed like a child trying to show me everything it could see and honestly, I didn’t mind, it made me feel welcomed here in many ways. As we neared the end of the tour, we went to the last store that I had yet to be introduced to. “And here Kyle, is where the citizens store all the wine and cider in the town where it can be delivered to the castle for special occasions!” she yelled, yet again in her royal voice. Oh yes I had forgot to mention that this worlds ‘alcohol’ was apple cider and since we had cider back at south park I made a mental to try one of them sometime. As I pondered over the cider I saw Celestia and Jimmy approaching, obviously finished with the tour as well. I also noticed that Luna’s face had gone from a happy and cheerful tone to an emotionless one of authority. *Crack* “Well Kyle, how was your tour?” Celestia happily asked as I gave her a smile. “It was good Celestia, thanks for that but what will we be doing now since that it’s almost dinner?” Celestia smiled “Well we have dinner of course.” ‘…Idiot…,’ I mentally hit myself at the question as I heard Luna stifle a giggle. “*Sigh* Well then let’s get going,” I motioned my hands towards the palace as Celestia, Luna and Jimmy followed suit, a smile shown on the sisters faces. ---- The walk back wasn’t very entertaining, just walking to the castle with a few hellos and hoof waves from other ponies that were directed to us…as well as the bowing, oh god the bowing. There were only a few ponies who actually greeted us normally, the rest bowed down to us like we were bloody King Tut. Anyway getting off topic when we entered the dining room, we began to look at the food that was bestowed upon us. From the looks of it, the –very large- table seemed to not hold any meat which I began to understand since ponies don’t eat meat; thank god I hardly had meat back home so I was okay with this. We sat down in our seats as I used my magic to bring some bread and cheese over to my plate…magic is awesome. When I began to eat my cheese sandwich a thought came to my mind. “Hey Celestia?” I asked as she raised her head towards me, having lowered her food back on the plate. “Yes Kyle?” “I was wondering where you put the elements of harmony,” she looked over to me in a curious manner, probably wanting me to go on. “Since they are very powerful shouldn’t we hide them somewhere so that nopony will be able to find them. What if somepony managed to steal them and use them to defeat us like they did discord,” I finished as Celestia closed her eyes, thinking about how to answer my question while Luna looked at her sister, seeming that she wanted an answer as well. ~~~~ “I think that I’ll be the one to answer that one Celestia,” the spirit hummed to itself as it moved towards the edge of the prison. “Better make it simple otherwise she will know that something is wrong with herself.” ~~~~ “Well Kyle, I have already taken that into account and already hidden them in the castle, as for your other question…if someone evil tries to use the elements of harmony they will not work, from what my sister and I know is that the elements will only work if you let friendship into your heart,” Celestia concluded, her eyes closed for the entire explanation. ‘Hmm…I wonder why Celestia didn't open her eyes when she was talking and did her voice sound a bit off?’ I thought but brushed it off. ‘She’s probably just tired.’ Celestia shook her head slightly as if she had something on her mind and opened her eyes groggily as if she had just woken up. “Well thanks for the explanation Celestia but you look a bit tired, are you alright?” Luna seemed to take what I said into account to. “We agree with young Kyle sister, you do seem very tired, perhaps you should go to bed early tonight,” Celestia shook her head vigorously and opened her eyes prompting Jimmy to look over at us, finally finishing his dinner and taking a look at what was going on. “N-no its fine sister, I just had a thought is all,” Celestia replied making Luna furrow her brow in suspicion but let it go as the room went into an uneasy silence. I decided to break it. “So thanks for the food Celestia, I think I’ll get ready for bed now,” I said a little too quickly as I quickly –and awkwardly- got out of my seat and began to leave the room making Celestia raise a brow and Luna to tilt her head down slightly. As I walked through the endless amount of hallways, trying to find my room, as well as passing a few guards along the way who saluted me as I passed, until I found my room. I locked the door and jumped face first into the bed as I let out a large groan at how ‘well’ that first dinner went. As I kept thinking about what had happened so far while in this world, one drifted back towards my clothes changing while I was sleeping. I got off the bed and walked towards the mirror and looked over at my royal suit –which was unorganized from rolling around on the bed over and over again-. I sighed at how I looked and imagined that it was neat again, since I couldn't be bothered doing it myself even though that thinking of it being neat wouldn't help. Suddenly I noticed a white light surrounding my body only for a few seconds as it disappeared in the same time, showing that my royal attire was as neat as when I had first arrived here. I imagined I was in my uniform that I always wore back in South Park. Just as it had done before my clothes instantly changed into what I had imagined them to be, a smile grew on my face. ‘I wonder if I can…,” I thought to myself, my smile getting bigger to that of a devious grin. As the thought came to my mind I changed into my new attire or should I say form. Opening my eyes to look at the mirror, I found myself looking at Celestia or rather…me. Tons of thoughts went through my head at this new power and what I could do with it…devious thoughts. I decided to try out this form. “I am Princess Celestia,” I said to myself, my voice sounding exactly like Celestia. I began to flap my wings as I slowly floated/wobbled above the ground for about five seconds before I crashed back down to the ground, landing on my side. ‘How do the princesses fly like this? It’s so hard,’ I began to think back to my normal form when I was in my clothes from South Park and just like that, I changed into myself again. ‘The ability to change my clothes and to shape shift into other ponies just by thinking it huh? Although it is fun to be someone else I don’t think it will have much use other than sneaking out in another’s form or for pulling pranks…which can be fun’ I continued to muse to myself as I chugged down a power potion, quickly refilling my magic as I grabbed two more from the cupboard and teleported out of the room. After my teleportation, I had arrived in the gardens of the castle. I walked to the edge of the garden where a small hill was and sat at the top of the hill, looking up into the night sky as I watched the stars twinkle in the sky. The night always felt nice. “Kyle? What are you doing out here at this time of night,” I heard the voice of Luna behind me; her tone was filled with worry, curiosity and…hope? Luna landed beside me as I continued to look up at the sky. “What is with that outfit you are wearing, what happened to your other one,” she asked as looked down at me. “Well Luna, this is what I wear when I am not considered as royalty so I usually wear this when alone or just wandering around, besides I wouldn’t want to wear the same suit every day,” I replied as Luna nodded her head sheepishly at her mistake. “It’s nice isn’t it?” she gave me a weird look. “The night sky…its nice isn’t it?” Luna gave a small nod, the corner of her lips curving upwards. “Yes…it is.” “Yea…the night is always the most peaceful time I think, because during the light of day it isn’t very peaceful. Everypony is up and busy working even you must work yourself,” Luna turned her head towards me, prompting me to give a smile. “But when the moon rises and the night arrives I feel at peace as I look at the stars, at how bright they are…it is nice, the night,” I finished as I turned towards Luna who had a sad smile on her lips. “How did you like the poem I made, I meant every word you know,” I heard no response from her as her lips trembled and in the blink of an eye I was being hugged by the princess. “Thank you…,” I heard her whisper. “Thank you for cherishing our night Kyle…you are the first and only one to say that,” I hugged her back making her smile. “But even the ones who watch the night must sleep sometime…,” All of a sudden I began to feel very tired; moving my head up I noticed that Luna’s horn was glowing a dark blue. I just gave her a tired smile. “Nice…ending…to…the…poem…” the last thing I saw was leaning against Luna as I closed my eyes. ---- “Uhhhh,” I opened my eyes to find that I was back in my bed in my room. I groggily got out of bed and looked outside to find that the moon was still in the sky, as I continued to watch the sky I found the sun beginning to rise. As I watched it rise I began to use my powers on the sun to see if I could control it, instead I shot a beam out of my hand and straight into the glass window…damn. The glass broke into 20 pieces and flew straight out the window. “Oops,” I made a mental reminder to ask one of the castle staff to fix the that as I changed into my royal clothes and went for the door. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” I heard a loud scream coming from the window, running over to it to find that there was a stallion on the ground with glass cuts all over his body, a mare next to him –probably the one who screamed-. “Oh Celestia! The broken glass killed Silver Star! Somepony get help!” I slowly turned around so that I was facing the door. “I’m a bastard!” ---- After the *ahem* incident…I had left my room and was walking through the halls to the dining room, having stopped caring for the random stallion when a thought came to my mind. ‘Wait a minute…with my shape shifting powers I could pose as Celestia and deceive the guards!’ I thought, smiling as I ran into the dining hall to find that nopony was here…perfect. I walked to the end of the table to where Celestia sits as I changed into ‘Celestia’, one of the chiefs came in. “Your Highness, what would you and your friends like to have this morning.” “Just the usual but without the cake today,” I had learned from one of the guards yesterday that Celestia has a fetish for cake so I decided to ‘help’ her with it. The chief looked flabbergasted at what I had just said. “B-but your highness! You always have the cake-,” I rose a ha-hoof into the air to silence him. “I just don’t think I’ll have any cake for the next three days since I feel like going on a diet,” he nodded his head at the order and began to leave. “Oh and one more thing, If I ask for cake in the next three days do not give it to me,” I said putting emphasis into it when the chief just looked at me questionably but decided not to push it as he left the room leaving ‘Celestia’ smiling devilishly. As I sat down on the seat I found, a cup of tea –already warm and ready to drink- in front of me. ‘And now to play the waiting game…’ **** All was quiet in the Everfree forest…or what it will be called soon. Every pony and creature there was slowly beginning to wake up from their slumber due to the sun beginning to rise from the mountains…all but one thing was the same, something was disturbing the peace. Unknown Pov: I made my way through the trees, vines and bushes of this stupid forest that hid the key to giving me the power to rule the world…this world. I was heading towards my location that I had...received...from the weird goat creature in that wacky place of a town…what a fool, he thought that the place didn't exist but by not thinking to take a look to see if the 'rumor' was true it led to his downfall. I jumped over bush after bush until I had reached my destination…a small opening to a cave. I sprinted down the stairs, all too eager to get my reward as I finally made it to the bottom, lo and behold my prize stood there in all its glory…the tree of harmony. I took a few steps forward, keeping caution in case the tree would be able to detect me and eradicate me due to my…dark essence. I stopped dead in my tracks as I saw that there were five holes in the crystal tree. I chuckled to myself. “So this must have been the reason for your downfall, the elements were used against you…,” I put my hand on the trunk of the tree, knowing that now the elements were gone I would be able to get my prize that I so rightfully deserve. The trunk of the tree began to glow, lines forming into taking a shape of a square that opened like that of a cupboard and inside was a twig or more specifically…a stick. “Finally…this world is mine…,” I reached my hand into the tree and grabbed the stick-
