I-I want to live.’ You say to the voice.
A large sigh rings through the void and you jump at the sound of laughter. “As if you could choose anything else?” a mocking tone accompanied the rhetoric.
‘So, h-how are you going to save me?’ you ask, the knowledge that your body is merely a dam of sticks holding back the torrents of pure magic and ready to burst THIS very day was both unsettling and exhilarating.
“Well, I am glad you asked me. There are a few ways to go about doing this, but the fastest way is already in progress. A complete conversion of your body. The problem is that your body can’t hold anymore unrestrained/controlled magic. By removing your soul from your body, it has already started the conversion in order to save itself.” The voice paused, as if to judge her. “When I think about it… I don’t actually know what you will become. There is no guarantee you will look the same… Unsettling.” It whispered. “Very unsettling indeed. But at the same time, so VERY interesting.” A soft chuckle followed.
“Do you have any questions?” the voice queries.
‘W-will my friends still like me?’ you ask. Your friends are all that you have in the world, nothing means more to you than them.
The voice was silent for a while before replying, “Yes, they will stand by you forever. After all, you are the Crusaders.”
A smile graced you lips as you “felt” a shift in the world around you. ‘Is it time for me to return?’
“Yes Scootaloo, but remember that change is the key to saving Mytheria. And a word of warning, your new body will still be destroyed by your magic if you don’t release some every now and then. And this time around, not only will you die but everyone in the vicinity will as well.”
You contemplate his words as your smell returns. With a last thought, you say ‘Thank you. I promise that I will protect Mytheria from anything that threatens it… Goodbye.’
You then disappear as your senses take full hold.
A figure walks out of the shadows of the voided place. “Haha, good luck kid.” He then focused magic of unbridled power into his body. “You will need it if you hope to challenge HIM…”
He then disappeared, returning to his rightful throne in the multiverse.
In the Everfree, a sleeping beast awoke with the presence of a Master…
You groggily process the information assaulting your senses as you wake up.
You see both Applebloom and Sweetie Belle sleeping on your hospital bed. The sun is up so you know they must have stayed up watching over you. A smile graces your lips as you settle down under the covers and hug them as they sleep. They snuggle into you as your eyelids drift a little. ‘They will always be here for me. Even if I change, they will change with me… Thank you, whoever you were. Thank you.’
Just as your eyes close shut, you hear the door open and a loud gasp. There in the doorway stood the nurse. He looked at you before closing the door quietly. You hear galloping as soon as the door shuts.
‘odd… why did she act like that? I wonder… I guess I will deal with it when I wake up.’ You shrug before closing your eyes once again…
