[Ponyville]
Rahs padded along the road listening to Trixie with a small smile on his face. It had been a long time since they had hung out like this, all that was missing was Shirley for it to be the full group again. One never forgot their first play and the friends they made from it after all.
He was a little surprised that Saturnia and Jynx had left, particularly without telling him why they showed up in the first place. Still it wasn't unexpected, Jynx was in charge of a pack of mostly unruly diamond dogs and had to take care of running things there first and foremost.
He was pretty sure Saturnia was in charge of honey production or the like on one of the farms around town, she always seemed to be complaining or grumbling about bees.
Still this was nice, it had been a while since he and Trixie had talked, she wasn't thrilled to find out he hadn't gotten any of her letters, though Rahs pointed out there had been some issues with the mail system as of late.
He had a small chat with Pinkie Pie as she popped up and Trixie thanked her for her help with her wagon.
A little later a conversation with Rain Dancer on the other paw seemed to cause Trixie to bristle up. Rain Dancer must have picked up on it because when he looked away for a moment the pegasus evidently skedaddled. Rahs was fine with that as Rain Dancer was rather forward in her interests in Rahs and although he didn't share the interest with her, she hadn't gotten the memo that the rest of the town did regarding his lack of interest in being turned back into a pony. Particularly for dating purposes.
After that encounter though, the streets of Ponyville seemed to be clearer of ponies, some of the shops were even unoccupied.
There was also the prevalent scent of a very odd magic. He wasn't sure what it was but it seemed to be coming from Trixie, she smelled like her usual gunpowder, but her magic had the vague taste of coffee along with the blueberries it usually tasted like. He couldn't be certain without asking for a direct taste, and he didn't want to quite abuse that. He still couldn't stand even the smell of strawberry shortcake thanks to Cadence.
[Just outside of Ponyville]
A rather large crowd stood around staring up at the barrier. Some of the unicorns attempted to breech the barrier with no luck.
Occasionally a flash of light appeared and another pony popped out of nowhere standing around confused, particularly when the ponies around the new arrival either cursed or cheered.
The current betting pool was on who would be telported out of town next.
Rarity was winning the most as she had taken note of the path the pair were on as well as noticing they were the cause.
However all of the ponies gathered were staying away from a pair of figures at the edge of the shield . A rather large diamond dog and a very angry changeling.
“There is no way that show pony could be this strong!” Saturnia cursed her horn blazing as she tried every spell she had to cut through the barrier with no luck.
Jynx simply watched.”Perhaps it is not her who is strong but you who are weak, little flea.”
“Oh that's it, you wanna have a go!” Saturnia snarled whirling on the diamond dog.
“And deal with the Princesses? Not a chance.” Jynx smiled. “Though you are free to take a shot, afterwards everything I do would be in self defense and the Princesses would not allow you to try any more.”
Saturnia growled though she backed down.”You're one to talk you're not even trying to get in.”
“I know how to get in.” Jynx stated.
“Pig shit! If you knew why would you still be out here!?”
“Because seeing what you try gives me an idea of what to expect from Trixie.” Jynx stated simply. “Also watching you fail is amusing.”
“I hate you.” Saturnia snarled.
“I am glad.” Jynx smiled baring her fangs. “ But you are correct, there is no sense leaving Rahs to Trixie for too long particularly as most of the town is out here now.”
“WOOOOOO!!” Rainbow Dash shouted as another figure appeared, looking rather disoriented. “It's Kevin! Pay up!”
The crowd grumbled a little.
“Fine then lets see you get in there.” Saturnia snapped.
Jynx turned, took one step, and fell forward seemingly seemed like she was going to face plant though a quick motion had her burrowing into the ground with a shower of dirt. After only a few breaths the diamond dog popped up on the other side of the shield dusting off her dress.
“What!?” Saturnia snapped, glaring back at Jynx's grin.
The changeling cursed diving into the hole to follow. Jynx grinned wider and stomped on the ground collapsing the tunnel on top of the changeling, leaving her with her flank in the air, back legs kicking wildly as she stuck up out of the dirt.
With another smirk Jynx darted off to find Rahs, leaving the bug cursing behind her on the other side of the shield.
[In Ponyville]
“So … what's the deal with the necklace?” Cadence asked curiously as they trio of goddesses watched Rahs and Trixie walk past, the group still in their disguises.
“Tis an alicorn amulet.” Luna offered.
“A what?”Chrysalis asked.
“ An alicorn amulet, or as they used to be called a 'dog treat'.” Luna explained. “We... when we taught Sombra magic we had him practice his enchanting by making empowering amulets. Solomon thought it amusing and didn't realize we were giving them to the resistance so they could try and kill him. Sombra simply thought it was a lesson. The amulets themselves do not offer much of a boost in power, they simply open the pathways to allow more power to be accessed than a unicorn normally would. Of course the feeling of being overpowered gained them the name of Alicorn Amulet, despite the fact they were barely worth feeding to the witch wolves as treats.”
“So you are saying that Trixie is naturally this powerful? She's cast nearly sixty teleports to the cities edge on top of this shield.” Cadence gasped.” And that's with Rahs around.”
“She was accepted into my sisters school as a filly for a reason my pinkest niece.” Luna offered.
“How...... you researched her didn't you?” Cadence narrowed her eyes as Luna grinned.
“Of course, we wanted to know everything we could about the horse we were backing as they say.”Luna blinked, glancing up before pulling off her beard and offering it to Chrysalis. “Would thou hold this for me a moment.”
Chrysalis blinked looking down at her hoof at the swath of Celestia's tail she had been given.
Luna and Cadence both suddenly vanished in a pop of teleportation leaving Chrysalis alone on the bench.
“What?” Chrysalis asked, before looking up.”Well shit.”
The sudden impact of a comet like mass of white and gold slammed down on top of Chrysalis with enough force to cause the changeling queen to explode in a shower of green goo like she was a particularly vile bug that was smashed.
The bench also did not fare very well
Stepping out of the crater with a large bag on her back was Princess Celestia. The goddess of the sun was clad in heavy golden armor, a newly made set to account for all the cake. The solar princess shook out her legs a little as she glanced down at all that was left of Chrysalis, taking note of her tail fragments in the mess. She glared over to her sister and niece who were both sitting there wearing fake beards and mustaches that looked to have been made out of Chrysalis' tail.
“Was that necessary auntie?” Cadence frowned.
“Impressive, her shield is warded to allow gods free passage, she truly is gifted.” Luna acknowledged looking at the unblemished shield top.” Even if she fails to woo Rahs perhaps she will accept an offer of training from us.”
“She'll be fine.” Celestia offered to Cadence only for a blast of magic to slam into her sending her tumbling down the street, her armored helmet and shoes left spinning in the air where she stood as a reformed Chrysalis stomped after her.
“This day just got a lot more interesting.” Cadence frowned.
“Five bits on Tia getting the higher count.” Luna stated.
“Done. One point for Auntie and one for Chryssy already.”
Trixie growled as Jynx started walking on the other side of Rahs. She wasn't sure how the diamond dog had gotten back through the barrier, but Rahs had noticed her so Trixie couldn't simply just throw her out again.
Trixie was not thrilled as she noted Rahs' reaction to the alpha.
She had seen the look on several of her own fans that were interested in her, but either too shy or too intimidated to try and say anything about their feelings for her.
Rahs was crushing on the larger mutt.
This would not stand, but she needed to get him alone again before she could say anything, mostly too keep from embarrassing herself in front of an audience, and because she expected Jynx or the other one to try something.
Luckily a distraction happened rather quickly as a large black pony like bug soared past them to crash into a building on the other side of the street.
“That's six for Tia.” Luna called.
Rahs stared after the flying changeling, puzzled by it as Trixie poofed Jynx away again, only to be surprised herself as Princess Celestia in damaged battle armor trotted past with bent 9 iron held in her magic.
“Excuse me my little ponies. I'm just playing through.” The Princess said with a smile trotting off after her alicorn bug sized golf ball.
Rahs turned back to say something only to notice Jynx was gone and Saturnia was at his side now.
Trixie was not thrilled that the pegasus was back.
An explosion sent the Princess of the Sun spiraling into the air to crash down on the other side of a building with an irate looking green maned bug pony rushing after her with a snarl on her face.
“Seven for Chryssy.” Cadence called.
“Mother?” Saturnia blinked in surprise, though when Rahs turned to question that statement Saturnia was gone.
“Was that completely necessary?” Jynx asked looking down at Trixie from the other side of the mare.
“How do you keep getting back in here!?” Trixie snapped glaring up at the diamond dog.
“You're not going to win this.” Saturnia stated trotting back up.” I will keep coming back as many times as it takes.
Rahs raised an eyebrow as the three glared at each other.
“What will it take to get you to leave Trixie alone!” Trixie snarled.
“More than just sending us outside this stupid shield of yours.” Saturnia snapped.
“Acting like a story villain and trying to get rid of your competition is not going to work.” Jynx stated.
Rahs blinked looking up at the red dome over the town. That was new. How the heck had he missed that?
“Fine then.... Trixie was trying to be nice, but if you want Trixie to be the bad guy, Trixie will be the bad guy!” Trixie snapped her eyes glowing red.
Rahs wasn't sure why they would want Trixie to be the bad guy, as she did a fairly weak job of it in the auditions for Maleficent.
That thought was quickly derailed as Trixie's horn flared and everything went red.
In all likelihood tia and Chrissy will be talking by the time everything is said and done and it looks like Trixie is just about to go to far
Interesting backstory for the amulets
Dense, thy name is Rahs
so Trixie is going super bad hum interesting.
rahs, u area a drama dog, u should be able to figure it all out
Did anyone take the bet on sunbutt trying to kill buggy butt
Also I wonder does the amulets themselves work on non magic casting species would be interesting to see aj using one to get the farm work done in record time
Why was it again that Celestia wants to kill Chrissy? Was it because the queen killed sunbutt's father through sexually induced heart attack or am I mixing stories again?
9852480
yep you got it right
9852438
Twilight did. 😉
9852535
Good then she owes me 50 bits
After I-have-no-bloody-clue-how-long, Rahs might finally be about to figure out what's going on.
Trixie.....
Why do females have to beat around the bush about things?! I understand you want us to notice, but......fucking......ugh!!!
9852374
Dont even! Most males are "dense" if he is! I mean, take a look at what they do! They just.......don't FUCKING SAY ANYTHING!!!! MOUNTING FRUSTRATION
9852372
I'm quietly rooting for Hot Angry Make-Up Smooches and Hugs after Celestia and Chrysalis finish beating the tar out of each other, possibly in the rubble of the last building they demolished with one another.
lol
Celestia and chrysalis need to lock in a room with a didlo and be told go at it
Tie them to a rail as the friendship express is coming and she grow a moustache and put a top hat?
A good cover story, too bad she didn't think of it.
Coffee, that was Sombra's taste wasn't it?
Anypony got a camera?
This is bait
I'm getting the sense that ad hoc betting is the Equestrian national sport
... I'm sure there's a joke about horse racing in there somewhere.
Guess Saturnia's demigod status let her get through eventually
Good thing he didn't say that out loud
Uh oh
Cadance: I don't like you intrude into my territory, Auntie.
Luna: This might be my only chance at playing the overprotective grandparent, and I am taking it.
The more I'm reading this story, the more I think that the main driving factor of this Equestrias economy must be the betting industry.
...of course Trixie goes nuts with power anywhere near that amulet
9852647
It also doesn't help that Rhas has had very little experience in dating. Well, none to be exact, which is explained quite well.
These women need to show some backbone and talk about their interests of him. TO him!
9853029
Well, the basis of the business is taking a chance.
9852852
So now Trixie is gaining an access to Dark Magic. I wonder will she change into She-Demon like Sunset first, or Rahs change into Witch Wolf first.
9853039
YES!
I don't know, a Tuesdays, in Ponyville... I think I'm gonna bet on a surprise ending
Well... let's see how badly Trixie just messed up
And with her Tuesday twitch twinging tirelessly, Twilight took the train toot sweet to Tall Tale.
Okay, how the hell did I miss an update? Oh well, back to more "The Rahs Sparkle Unknown Harem Free-For-All" With a possible surprise appearance of fiery pissed off Goddess.
Yeah, Trixie has that advantage of knowing him longer, but it's also a disadvantage in that he simply does not see her as anything but a long time friend. Given the ages at the time, it's not too likely they bonded early enough for the Westermark Effect to have kicked in, but it could just have a longer period of time to take effect in Ponies/Moon Dogs. Either way, he knows her best, but the least romantically.
Jynx meanwhile has the benefit of being the only one of the three who he has any actual physical attraction for. (Seems Rahs is a 'boob man/dog.) The main hold up on her is Rahs just being so oblivious to flirting or romance in general that he misses her trying to hint she does not mind at all if he stares, or wants to try some other forms of 'wrestling'. Plus the fact she intimidates him.
Saturnia, has no real bonus or negative going for her at the moment. Beyond passing the bar of 'not smelling like prey and so turning him off from even considering it.'
Okay, that took me a second, at first I thought it was her talking about drones and Rahs misunderstanding, but no, no... Bees.... Damnit Bees why can't you be more like Kevin?
I still want to know how they managed to get those letter away from Best Mailmare.
Wow, there is not having ranks in perception, then there is rolling a cursed die for it. Just damn....
Meanwhile, outside the town fishbowl more and more ponies are wondering why they stay in town for a Tuesday.
Okay, noticing the obvious at least. Still...damnit Rahs, stop being so oblivious!
1. Saw that coming
2. I'm sure Celestia will shatter that for you.
Seriously, this town would be a book makers dream... or nightmare. Then again, at this point anypony still living in that town has to be willing to do some high stakes gambling.
The benefits of actually putting ranks in perception. Take note Rahs.
It's a dome sitting on the ground, she's a member of a tunneling species.... and her reason for not doing it makes sense. That plus, well she'd just show the rest how to do it too. Though she seems smart enough to collapse the tunnel behind her.
This isn't just because she won, Kevin is so awesome, someone always cheers when he shows up.
Called it! Though not the bug stuck in a hole part, nice touch.
Yeah..... this.... this makes no sense compared to what we saw of this thing before. That is way to weak and rather pathetic compared to what a big deal it was in show. Not liking this much at all. As it seems most things with 'Solomon'. There's little reason to tie so much into him, you don't want to make another Goldenblood.
Another, no.. not really thing. Trixie has never been shown or even hinted at being at all skilled beyond illusions. The whole "Trixie was in school with Twilight' fanon has never made sense. Much like with the above with Solomon, having everything all tie together into so few neat little packages makes the world feel smaller, more forced, and less realistic.
Ah, Tia's showing up time. And of course add that extra little bit to piss her off. Tia is not the only troll in the family.
ppppppppfffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttt Yeah, I have my gripes, but I still love you story.
Why, why is that image so damn hilarious?
Ehhhhh, we've been over this.
So, is it something about being in Ponyville that causes compulsive gambling? O is it just a Pony thing? Also, and now the feud has been reduced to a running gag.... I both dislike and love this idea.
Mhm, what did I say?
Welcome to Ponyville Trixie!
Huh, then again she could just shift into a Diamond Dog to tunnel through herself.
Come on, how much longer can you not notice?
Do Moon Dogs like, have a racial handicap to perception rolls?
Oh damnit... what now Trixie?
9852685
That would just result in Equestria finding out just how many ways you can kill somepony with a sex toy.
9859146
Seventy two... and counting.

I've got a reason for making Trixie stronger than what it seemed. she she was always potent but mostly in illusions. with the amulet opening her up as it seems that power spread to everything else. Without it her illusions are still her best spell. it also added a reason for the items to be mentioned as Plural in an earlier chapter. and waaaay back in the beginning Lulumoon was going to be in Celestia's school until she was bullied away.
Female fight for male... But did they ask the male for oppinion about it? The more litters the better
Everyone love Kitten or Puppys. Just give them all a Litter at this point and only Rahs will suffer.
Problem solved
With two goddesses killing one another I doubt mutch romance will happen
