"Jason ‘Agony’ Brolly, that's his name. Just call him Agony though, he prefers it to his real name." said a smooth voice, clearly belonging to someone blessed with a silver tongue.
"And who might you be?" A royal tone questioned.
"Me? Well you can call me Greed, everyone else does." As Greed finished his introduction, a guard walked in interrupting him.
"Highest pardon for the intrusion, my princess, but Twilight Sparkle has arrived." The guard announced, maintain the stoic expression that comes with the professionalism of the Royal Guard.
"Ah my student, send her in, there is much to discuss." Princess Celestia ordered. The Guard gave a polite bow and left, only to return moments later with the subject in question, Twilight, in tow. "Princess is everything alright? Does this have to with that odd magical surge I felt a few days ago?" Twilight asked frantically.
"Yes, Twilight, it does, now before you ask, no Equestria is not in danger ...well not anymore any way." she mumbled that last bit "You see a few days ago a cult tried to summon a beast. A beast I long thought to be a myth, from the lands of fantasies and agents. But as always, something went wrong. The entity they tried to summon was the Wrath of Agony.”
"Wait, wait, wait!" Twilight interrupted "Sorry, but they tried to summon The Wrath of Agony? They tried to summon an unstoppable demon and they failed?"
Celestia sighed "In a way they failed, yes, but they also succeeded, in some way. You see, while they failed to summon the Wrath, they ended up summoning Agony himself.”
"I'm sorry, Princess, but how is that any better, Agony is said to be the only one to ever tame the beast known as wrath. If anything this is worse." she blurted out as she fell into panic.
"Normally I’d agree with you Twilight, but you see, the tale says that Agony tamed these beasts, but that the beasts themselves were summoned by others for their evil agenda. But the only bit of truth to these stories are the ones about the Wrath." Celestia realised this was going no-were fast so she decided to show her proof.
"Would you like to meet him Twilight? The one we called the Great Agony." she had a sly smirk on her face knowing Twilight wouldn't be able to resets meeting a legend. Twilight thought for a minute, weighing up the situation. Ultimately, curiosity killed the cat.
"Yes, I think I would like to meet him." she said hesitantly.
"Very well." Celestia got up from her thrown and walked over to a door off to the side. A few nerve wrecking moment passed before she returned with something very unexpected. It was a small Pegasus colt, no older than the age of eight she would guess. The colt had black fur, while its mane and tail were a dark grey accompanied by a read streak. There was also red fur around its eyes, the irises themselves where shining a bright sapphire blue. Then she noticed something unsettling, there was a V shape chunk missing from its right ear and a small scar on his muzzle. The Pegasus’ cutie mark was a white circle sounded by another circle that was split in to 7 different coloured sections separated by black lines. Now she felt bad about judging him before she saw him.
Twilight was quickly pulled out of thought by the sound of Celestia’s voice "Come now little one, don't shy away, my student is quiet nice." the colt was very hesitant, more so than Twilight was a moment ago when asked to meet him. He slowly walked toward Twilight and stopped about three feet away.
"Um... hello mi-miss Sparkle... um I’m Jason Brolly but my friends call me Agony." he said with small smile that almost resembled that of her friend Fluttershy.
Feeling much more confident knowing that he was a foal ‘After all, how could a child be a threat?’ She thought...
"My, what a well mannered young colt you are, but don't worry with being so formal with me, please just call me Twilight." she smiled down at him, he just nodes in return.
Celestia spoke up to break the silence, after the inital conversation from seeing the child, everything had died down. "Now, little one, we have much to discuss, can you bring you friend greed here again?”
Agony turned around to look at the Princess before replying "Umm ok, but I don't know if he'll come. One second. Oh and he’s more like family, they all are." Closing his eyes, there was an awkward pause for Celestia and Twilight. Twilight was confused while Celestia waited patiently and then he spoke up again. "Greed! I can’t ask that, she’s a Princess... Oh... I said that out loud didn't I.... Umm Greed wants to know ‘what’s in it for him?’"
Celestia looked at him shocked as his eyes drifted away from hers as he was finding the floor rather interesting now. Then something unexpected happened, she let out a giggling fit. "Hahaha... oh... oh my, I never knew someone to ask that, he certainly lives up this name now, hehe." She took a few moments to compose herself. "Ok I’m calm now, calm enough to answer your question. I don't know how to send you home, so how about property. a house to call home."
Suddenly there was a bright yellow flash were agony was standing. In his place was a gold furred unicorn stallion, with a swept back mane of black with the same red streak. But that's not where the similarities end, he has the same scar on his muzzle and is missing the same chunk out of his right ear as well as the same cutie mark, but the yellow section was now swirling into the white inner circle. "Well madam, why didn't you say so in the first place?" Then he remembered that Twilight was in the room. "Damnit! Now I have to explain what just happened"
Twilight was shocked, confused and starting to get angry because she has more questions than answers now and clearly nobody is telling her the full story.
"Dammit! Now I have to explain what just happened!" Greed exclaimed, realising his mistake of taking control without warning.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF EQUESS IS GOING ON." Twilight exploded, she wanted answers now.
*A couple of moments of intense breathing later. *
"Okay, so now that we've all calmed down and aren’t going to explode we’ll explain what happened.” Celestia turned to Greed. “Should you explain or should I?”
"I’ll do it, Agony won’t let it go if I let you explain it and you get something wrong, probably because I wouldn't care to correct you on any assumptions made." Greed took a deep breath. " All right get comfortable this is going to take a bit. Let’s start with what we are, and by us, I mean Agony and the sins. You see we, are what’s called Fractures, while Agony himself is a Fractured. He’s called this because his soul is fractured. Normally that would leave him in a vegetative state until it fixed it self... normally. His current state was caused by a series of traumatic events, seven to be exact, each one created a split personality to go with the fractures, you can see where this is going right?" he asked, finishing the first part of his explanation.
"I think so, he created each of you to protect him from events he can’t handle on his own, but when he created to many split personalities, his soul shattered from the stress of keeping eight different beings in one space, creating several ‘miniature’ souls if you will, each one being a Sin and all of them within one body. Right?” She asked, buzzing with confidence and near certain in her hypothesis.
"I’m impressed with your theory but no, if his soul shattered under the stress then the weakest part at the time would have been destroyed. You were close though, you see he has an unusually large soul for someone his age. Now as you have said we were created to protect him but somewhere along the way his soul stopped growing, and we started fighting for dominance over the one body and soul. As you can imagine having people fight over your body from within is not fun. We were causing him intense pain. The only one not to fight for control was Wrath. The only one Wrath will ever listen to is Agony, he sees him as a god for some reason and well, he didn't take to kindly to us trying to ...Hehe... Yeah... Anyway he held his own, protecting Agony but never retaliating to our advances, ever, until one day. One day Agony broke down crying and asked for help, to say Wrath was mad is the understatement of the universe. He marked our territory and forced us into them, he took what growth we had and used it to expand Agony, all the while he kept us restricted, managing to overpower all of us. The to finish, he shattered Agony's soul to stop us from causing him more pain. Each one of us became the split personalities, unable to affect the other emotionally like we did before. But like I said earlier, his soul is abnormally large, when it broke it created seven normal spirit flames surrounding a normal sized soul. This has also caused him to age slower he looks young but, Agony is probably around Twenty two. Jesus Christ that was a mouthful." Finally he was done, finishing the explanation that lasted longer than he liked. Greed yawned and just as quickly as he came he was gone in a dark explosion, leaving every one especially Agony slightly confused as to why he left then , Agony remembered. “He fell asleep.”
"What?" asked a slightly dazed Twilight.
"Greed fell asleep, apparently they can’t stay out to long, it drains too much of their energy." Came Agony's reply.
"Honestly, I’m not surprised, after all it must take a great amount of magic to change into and hold onto a form that is not your natural one." Celestia at this point was just thinking out loud.
"Um... Celestia, after hearing all this I’m thinking you brought me here for some larger purpose than to just meet Agony.” Twilight had it the nail dead on the head.
"You are correct, you see Agony may be an adult by how long he’s lived, but his physical age and mental age are that of a young colt, and as such he needs a caretaker, or at least some one to make sure he doesn't destroy something accidentally. I would like that to be you . As I have said he will have property of his own, but I would like you and your friends to look out for him like you would your own brother." Celestia was nervous, not entirely sure how her student would respond to this odd request. Twilight drifted into deep thought.
Several long minutes later, Twilight had her answer ready. " I would be honoured to take Agony on as my little brother." Twilight accepted with a smile "But I would like to request that he live in the library with me rather than on his own, so I can look after my ‘Little Brother’ better.”
"That would be up to him Twilight; I cannot make that choice for him." They both looked at Agony who had his eyes closed; if it wasn't for earlier they would have thought he was in some standing sleep.
"Well guys what do you think?" he asked mentally.
"If we were back home I’d say screw them, but we don’t know how this world works, I say do it." Pride responded.
"I agree besides, we could do with another sister.” Envy agreed.
"Hey, this house is free and we’d get privacy, so we can be lazy and stuff. " Sloth countered.
"Yea the privacy for...laziness totally..." Lust responded in a rather evasive manner, what she really wanted didn’t evade Agony at all.
"I don’t care." Gula was blunt with his answer
"Great, we are at an impasse and Greed is asleep. Wrath, I know you don't like making these kind of decisions but I don't know what to do."
"Go with her - her aura good - she help." Came Wrath's broken response
Opening his eyes, "Um... I’ll go with Twilight, if she doesn't mind that is." He said meekly
"That’s fine after all, I'm the one that asked first, but if you don't mind, how did you come to your answer?"She said slightly surprised with his answer and his reply.
"Majority rules, as long as it doesn't conflict with my own feelings on certain things or when I’m not sure of what to do.”
"As much as I’ve enjoyed this, it’s getting the late and the last train leaves for Ponyville soon and it'd be best if young Agony was to get acquainted with his new home tonight and the town tomorrow. I’ll be sure to send the deed for Agony's property to you later Twilight, just get him to sign it." And with that Twilight and Agony said there goodbyes and thanks, respectively, to the princess as they left for Ponyville.
Spike slowly got up, muttering about nothing in particular. He had a great day yesterday, Twilight had given him the afternoon off because she was going to Canterlot by order of the Princess, wiping the crust from his eyes he went to the bathroom to relieve himself and get ready to start the day. After getting himself washed up he went down stairs to start on breakfast for him and Twilight, after papering everything to make pancakes he noticed a note on the kitchen table.
Dear Spike, We will be having a guest for breakfast please set an extra spot on the table. Thank you. Twilight Sparkle
"Okay then a guest, I wonder who?" He pondered to himself.
About ten minutes later Twilight came down half-awake, mumbling about coffee and taking a seat at the table. Spike just rolled his eyes putting on a pot for her and putting out her breakfast. After a nice cup of joe and a good breakfast, Twilight was ready for the day unfortunately Agony wasn’t.
"Alright, I guess I should go wake up our guest." Spike looked at Twilight confused " I'll explain when I come back down.” Was all she said, Spike just sat there eating.
"SPIKE! get some ice ready." Twilight came down with a sleeping foal on her back, Spike brought a glass of ice.
"What are you planning Twilight?" Spike asked.
"I'm going to prove that when I say 'If you don't get up I’m going to put ice in your ear' is a promise and not an empty threat." A tinge of annoyance in her voice. She put Agony down on the floor and levitated two ice cubes beside each of his ears, and with an evil smile she dropped them in, a foal’s scream was heard.
"What’s wrong with you, mare! You don't put ICE in somepony’s EAR!" Yelled Agony.
"Well that’s what you get if you don't listen to me when I say get up." came her response.
"Okay, now would you like to tell me why there was a colt, a colt that I have never seen before, sleeping in the spare room and why I didn't notice?" Inquired Spike, clearly confused.
One explanation I don't want to write later.
"And as to why you didn't notice, he was so quiet I wasn't sure he was in the room until I looked, and besides, you had no reason to check that room, so why would you notice?” Twilight responded, bluntly.
"So, we have another brother now, not only that, but a brother that could cause an apocalypse, cool. Also, you put him to sleep again.”
"Not officially but yes... We do have a brother that could cause an apocalypse, and now that i think about it yeah it is pretty cool; and…" Twilight walked over to Agony "…WAKE UP! Hurry up eat breakfast, I want to show you around town and get you used to the place, ideally before its time to sleep again."
"Sounds like a long day." Agony commented while taking a bite out of the pancakes that were set out for him, after registering the bite, he went wipe-eyed. "These are really good, thanks Spike." He wolfed down the rest of them.
"Thanks, glad you like them." Obviously happy with the complement, when all was said and done the three of them took into town. After playing meet and greet with many of the pones around town, a noise caught Agony's attention, he looked around trying to see what it was but didn't see anything. Spike took notice and diced to speak up.
"Hey, what are you looking for? You kinda seem freaked out."
"I don't know, I thought I heard a gasping sound, I might have imagined it though." Spike and Twilight just gave a knowing smirk and they continued on into the market.
" Hey Twi’, Spike how's ya'll doin’? Oh an’ who’s the young’en?" came an accented voice.
"Hi Applejack, we’re doing fine, and this here is Agony. I’m going to be looking after him for a while. Agony this here is Applejack, one of my best friends." Twilight introduced the two.
"Twi’ did you adopt this here young colt? Do you know what you’re getting into?" Applejack jumped to conclusions of her own accord.
Giving a strained smile, Agony walked up to Applejack and stuck his hoof out for a hoof shake "Nice to meet you, my full name is Agony Soul, part of the Soul family but all my brothers and sisters are well, not around right now and I'm too young to join them on their trips. So one of my brothers asked Princess Celestia if she knew any one that could look after me, and she asked Twilight to." As he talked, his smile turned from strained to natural, as if all his nerves were washed away.
"Oh really? I’ve never heard of the Soul family and us Apples are well everywhere. How many in your family?" She asked, a little suspicious as to why she’s never heard of them.
"Eight including me uhh... Three full blood brothers, one full sister, a half-brother and an adopted brother and sister. I’m the youngest of the pack. I don't think I’m missing anyone." He looked happy to talk about family 'One he doesn't have' thought Twilight.
"What about your parents?" asked Applejack, Agony’s smile faded and his eyes dulled at the mention of them.
"I never knew them but, I can easily guess that they were not good ponies. No one has a memento of them, not a picture or anything." ‘More like they abandoned me to the streets before I could even say one word.' Agony added in his thoughts. Applejack know she hit a touchy subject there and diced to leave it at that.
"As much as I want to hear more about your family, there are still a couple of ponies I want to introduce you to, so Applejack if you don't mind, we must get going." Twilight said.
"All right then I, won’t take any more of your time. Here Agony, have an apple on the house." Agony took the apple and said his thanks to Applejack before the trio took off. "Where did all that come from? And how were you able to lie to the element of honesty, who is basically a living lie detector?" asked Spike
"Yes. I’m wondering that too. Where did all that come from?" Twilight pitched in.
"Well, I only told one lie. Also, the element of what now?" Responded Agony.
"Element of honesty, one of the six elements of harmony, but that can wait until later. Explain how only one of those are a lie, now!" Twilight demanded.
"Well I guess I’m not getting out of this. Okay, let’s start with the name. I am officially Agony Soul, as stated on all paper work I filled out at the castle. The Soul family being me and the seven Sins. I do see them all as family and in my dreams I am able to see and talk to four of them. And their trips, well they get summoned by bad people to do bad things, but usually end up blowing up the summoners in some way and returning just as fast as they left." Agony explained
"Okay, so what was the lie?” asked spike
"My parents abandoned me on the streets." He walked on as Spike and Twilight stopped to process the new info given to them.
