Uh oh.
So Blaze is the real problem. Interesting
Commence read.
Read. It. So I can read what you read.

wat
Hm, an excellent twist, I dare say. Seems like Twilight's about to be mind raped, again. So hopefully her will will prove the stronger of the two.
2379202 It pertains to waiting for Twilight's experience with the book and all that. Then I can find out what happens.
2379210
Oooooohh...
The next chapter will certainly be an interesting read
2379219
so regal might not be the bad guy here, he might be mind-controlled into wanting to destroy every little spell and tradition that the preservation society has, it all depends on who cast the empathy spell, it's either regal or blaze. also, regal might have told rarity to tell twilight of the book, so he could beat her by having her read it, if rarity is aware of this and not actually mind controlled herself...i hope she's influenced somehow, the influence from the empathy spell might not be detectable after it has been cast.
This can only end well.
Oh. God.
....I guess it's a good thing that Luna is going to be watching her then...
I hope.
So I might not have to hate Regal if this is going where I think it is... But what will become of Twilight
Said the night's ward to her Luna love
Do you see what I see?
A powerful spell, Luna love
Do you see what I see?
Danger, danger
lingers in our sight
But I will protect you this night.
But I will protect you this night.
Said the Luna love to her lover coy-
Will you truly stay here?
Bringing tears to eyes, lover coy-
Will you truly stay here?
Not long? Too long?
Will I need of thee?
With your voice so big, stay with me?
With your voice as big, stay with me?(Canon reference is BEST reference.)
Said the lover coy to the Alicorn
Should you know what I know?
In this ancient tome Alicorn
Should you know what I know?
If mild? If wild?
Will you wish to know?
Shall I share the knowledge it holds?
Shall I share the knowledge it holds?
Said Regal to the ponies everywhere
Listen to what I say
Manipulating ponies everywhere
Listen to what I say
Gable! Gable!
Won't let us set this right!
He will bring us ruin and shame
He will bring us ruin and shame
But I will protect you this night.
Right, so. Rarity not being altered in the mind is something I was expecting, since it would have been a bit too obvious, despite my previous assertions. Still, I think there's something there given that Cross Stitch left in such a short period of time AND she ran after Twi to tell her about a book filled with dark magic that causes whoever reads it to get hit by Archmage Blazes emotions. It wouldn't take Regal much time to put two and two together too. That Rarity ran after Twilight, then very shortly after guards show up with trumped up charges and despite not finding anything, his super secret evil book filled with dark empathy magic goes missing. So I'm assuming he told Rarity to tell Twi about it, or will shortly be very cross/pleased with her.
So this book is written by the crazy pony who hated the creator of the preservation society with a fiery murderous passion AND returned to try and kill Celestia. And Regal, through Rarity probably, has the original charter for the society, written by the creator of said society. hmmmm. I wonder if something important is going on there, or perhaps being introduced to fire.
I can't help but think that Blaze is going to get freed, probably by a mind controlled Twilight or perhaps Regal, so he can run havoc for a while before being shut down.
The whole empathy thing also makes me slightly wary, because one can empathize with someone and yet still condemn their actions. Its like when a father kills his daughters rapist or something. Sure I can understand why he did it, but it doesn't make it right. And if Twilight believes that Blaze was right to come back to Canterlot and try and kill Celestia and all those guards, well, then she's obviously not well.
Also, why would you even want to read that book directly. I'd just try to read it through a series of mirrors, or some scrying magic. Magic that works through sight, like Medusa's gaze never seems to be able to handle that. (Even if that isn't related to ponies and this magic.) I mean hell, you could probably coat your eyes in some magic film of some kind and have the evil magic filtered through there. She's smart and innovative, she's gotta have some way around it that doesn't involve reading it directly.
ooh the empathy spell alone would have roused suspicion but it being archmage blaze's personal journal that is a whole new red flag altogether
So Blaze is still out for revenge, eh? Oh, I can see it now....
~CANTERLOT TIMES~
Earlier today, the zombified corpse of former Archmage Blaze was seen shuffling out of the castle! More information soon to come.
I fear that you are trying to make Twilight turn evil from reading the book she will feel the same feeling Blaze felt after he had gone mad and Twilight will be the next crazy archmage.
My suspicions are confirmed.
2379433 Nah, still gonna hate Regal. Unless he proves very helpful after the effects of the Empathy spell are removed from him, he isn't getting any approval from me.
2379860
I still really wont like him, but at least we know there's some deep reason for him to be doing this, and we know it's a very good reason.
2379868 I can't help but feel that his goal was very similar to this in the first place, and Blaze's journal only solidified his will to go through with it, along with granting him some useful knowledge. So, he's probably still a dick, but not as much of one as when he's under the Empathy spell.
2379876
I'm still not entirely sure if it was, but you never know. He might have just stumbled on it and is doing everything solely because of the empathy spell. If he did have the same intentions of fixing the Preservation Society before anyway, maybe they were to be done through the normal legal means anyway (we know he's really well read on the legal system, why not still use it?)
I dunno, that's my thought on the whole matter. I see where you're coming from too tho, and it's just as possible that he was a dick to start with We'll soon find out...
2379889 He seems, to me, to be a well-off stallion who possesses near-Filthy-Rich levels of douchebaggery, but I could easily be wrong. :/
I'm hoping that after the spell is released, he feels very guilty for manipulating Rarity and sequentially falls for her, or Rarity goes back to (forgot his name) and Regal is left pretty much alone, but it could go either way. I'm actually pretty invested in the side story with Rarity breaking up with (still can't remember his name :u). It could get very interesting, depending on what Loyal does with it.
Edit:
I'm guessing it'll take at least three more chapters to get to that point, maybe even as many as eight, but I'm hoping he doesn't leave us hanging on that front for too long.
2379912
Cross Stitch. I liked him, either way it come out I want Rarity to try to get Cross Stitch back (even though she's the one who basically kicked him out...)
But it could go either way, Rarity could keep going after Regal and make me sad, but Loyal and Iroh will decide that. *pleasebringstitchback*
2379922 By that, I didn't mean Rarity would be the same as she is now, and still be trying to go along with Regal, I meant that they would both be exposed to the insanity that is their plan, and would go back to (pretty much) normal. And then Regal would feel guilty for manipulating her, even though it wasn't really his fault, and he would comfort her, and then one thing leads to another. Also, I didn't really like Stitch. He seemed mostly okay for a while, maybe a little off-putting, but pretty much fine. Until he became inexplicably upset when Twilight said she loved Luna. That got me to thinking that maybe he was a part of the NLR, trying to get Luna to become Nightmare Moon again and bring on eternal night, but then I (somewhat) discarded that idea. And then it occurred to me that he might be at least a little homophobic, or disapproving of homosexual relationships, and my mind stuck on that idea so now I don't really like him.
Edit:
It never really was explained why he had that reaction, either...
2379960
Now that you bring that up, it was kinda weird... I still don't feel like I have any reason to not like him (yet) so I still hope things happen between him and Rarity. I do hope nothing major happens with her and Regal, though. No matter how it turns out I will never like that guy unless he becomes something equivalent to a hero.
2379981 I'm not entirely sure whose side to be on, really. There isn't much to go off of in terms of why they broke up. So it could easily have been Stitch's doing, as opposed to Rarity's. Sure, I dislike Stitch a bit for that whole getting-upset-for-seemingly-no-reason thing, but it's still most likely Rarity who caused the break up, what with her crazy ideals and acting like a bitch and everything.
2380036
I think we were told Rarity made the final call, though Stitch had a part in it. Something along the lines of Rarity having to choose between him and Regal, and she said she chose the more gentlecoltly of the two, so Stitch left. In that case, I'm still on Stitch's side for the most part, but I agree now that his no-reason-upset-session may be for not-so-normal reasons like I was assuming. Basically I'm still on Stitch's side unless something comes to light to put him in a compromising position as well...
2380059 Yeah, pretty much the same here. I'd love to know what's gotten into Rarity so I can determine how irritated to be at her.
2380103
I wanna know the specifics behind it, too, but as of now it just sounds like a typical Rarity move for some reason. Go straight for anything higher-class and attainable.
2380125 It seems like her, besides the fact that she absolutely will not listen to reason and pretends like everyone who disagrees with her are the ones not listening to reason. Typical manipulative move that can instantly make me dislike a human.
2380143
This is true, I didn't think about that part Well something must be terribly wrong, especially since the reason she isn't listening to is coming from one of her best friends...
2380151 One of her best friends, not to mention the most powerful and knowledgeable unicorn in existence. Something's got her vexed.
I don't know about having twilight read the thing. Personally, If I were luna, I'd have gotten a guard or something to read it out loud. But that's just me.
2380165
This is true...
DDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see this cause Twi to get knocked up by regal.
2380625 Err, come again?
2380741 Oh, Iroh said the next chapter's "done" and twi is preggers with Regal's foal.
2380758 He's joking. :u
2381148 I read it. ._.
2379270
I'm wagering that Blaze put the empathy spell on his journal to make it a more through description of his thought process early in his stint as Archmage, but then he went crazy, and now that carries over to whoever reads the book now.
So Rarity is not being controlled in any way... She's just exceptionally dumb and chose a nut job over her coltfriend, sister, and best friend
2381187
1. Where?
2. This is the internet.
2381285 Her best friend being the most powerful and knowledgeable unicorn, not to mention the third most powerful and knowledgeable being in existence.
2381382 from Loyal himself. we're playing D&D right now.
your going to do something in the next chapter that is going to be bad, I have a very bad feeling.
2379198
That's a reference to something. I'm sure of it.
Oh dang.
