Part one of the official story. A optional first part here
Part 1.
Chrysalis wasn't breathing.
This was fine. This was perfectly fine. Twilight was a smart pony; she knew that even after a being stopped breathing, it could still be alive. Even if its heart had stopped, so long as the brain wasn't destroyed or hadn't decayed there was still yet hope for survival. Hell, possibly even then - petrified beings came out perfectly fine even after hundreds of years, and there was probably SOME corrosion during that time period.
And who was to say that life ended there? There were so many stories about ghosts and the undead - stories she’d once dismissed as superstition, but now that she’d ended up in her predicament she considered that with so many fictional accounts, there had to be some basis in fact. Even if there wasn't, there were time-based spells that could possibly alter the past.
She was fine with her black book for the moment, though. She’d risk the time-space continuum after ensuring that necromancy wasn’t possible. It wasn't even very costly; all she needed was the eye of a dead mare she valued more than herself (to give Chrysalis a means to find the pony who valued her so much), a pair of wings from another who’d die for her (to help her beloved fly back to life), and the tongue of a mare who valued the truth beyond all else (so that when Chrysalis returned, the truth would know to change accordingly). And she already had all of these things - it was difficult, and she’d lost friendships along the way, but she got them.
The lavender mare placed the sacrifices on the three vertices of the triangle she drew on the ground, then floated Chrysalis’ year-old corpse onto the center. There wasn't much of it - it was just her carapace - but Twilight was sure it’d work anyhow. If nothing else, she’d make it work.
Twilight was a smart pony, after all.

Are you posting all these in order, and two at a time on purpose?

Yes i'll never get through them if I don't
She used her friends I assume?
Makes sense, it's all the rage among necromancers according to the new issues of Necropoliton.
Another tragedy.
4897470 Any way we can help?

Nope i'm good two updates a day two chaps a update i'm good! my sanity wandered away but bah I never used her for anything anyways!
This was fucking phenomenal. Not sure if I said so in the thread, but I was utterly amazed by this dark little gem.
Fantastic work, Bob.
I'd like to note that while I did retroactively link these two stories together, I initially wrote them as two separate stories with completely different canons.
So yeah. It can be read standalone. It was how I originally envisioned it.
4897490 She killed Celestia and took her eye (one she values more than herself), she took off Rainbow Dash's wings (no word on whether she survived), and she ripped out Applejack's tongue (When I join Rarijack, I want at least one prompt to be a direct sequel to this, wherein Rarity aids a tongueless Applejack).
Maybe you should post a bit faster. Like, six stories per day instead of four?
I'm impatient for the ossimsoss 50th prompt special, and we're growing fast enough that a similarly fast update speed would be very much appreciated.
If you're worried about people not getting the attention they deserve, just request in the summary and on every A/N that readers comment on the chapter they're commenting on.
Damn that's awesome.
A mute AJ, one-eyed Rarity and one-winged RD? Ahahaha, oh my. I might've felt sympathy if I hadn't read the first part-- Then again, what if her friends were right?
Now my brain hurts.
4897490 The impression I'm getting is she took one of Rarity's eyes, Rainbow Dash's wings, and Applejack's tongue.
5141120 Actually, it was Celestia. And Celestia's dead.
When's the next part coming? This has potential!
creepy dark and sad,
