The little whore doesn't get the privilege of sleeping under my roof again. 

Waiting until she was alone in her room, I began to speak to her for the first time, my formless tongue caressing her ears as I invite her to my abyss. 

She's as intelligent as she is powerful, but she cannot resist the allure of knowledge, the intrigue of an otherworldly entity and its invitation. Opening a path for her, I allow her to step inside me, a break in the crystal walls creating a door to my inner sanctum.

In there, she receives knowledge, as I promised.

Shackled inside, I teach her everything I know in the ways of pain, torturing and breaking her body and soul.

She is not an Element, she is not fit to be near them. 

She stole the Bearers away from me! She took their attention when she didn't deserve any of it!

Tired of foreplay, I begin to rip her to pieces, keeping her conscious the entire time. She is allowed to watch as I show her the components that make up a pony, even during deconstruction. 

Realising that I have more to share with her than just pain, I decide to show her why I am angry. I show her the previous Bearers of Harmony, how they refused to see me, to thank me for their assistance. For everything I had ever given them, they had no interest in staying with me when it was their time to pass. They left me alone, unnoticed, unappreciated. 

For these ones, they had rejected me completely, putting me back in the Tree. Then, out of my love and devotion, I had made myself a home for them, yet they still did not care! In fact, they brought a part of their old home here just to spite me! Most of them chose not to even sleep here, and instead they brought strangers such as her to take their spaces.

I had even felt the old Bearers visit her once. They had come to celebrate her, the intruder. They thought not of me and my torment, but of her and her ability, her progress. It sickened me, and now she receives her punishment.

When I'm finished with her I throw her out, not fit to be close to me in the first place. There on her bed she lays, a worthless pile of gore with a still heart.

Faintly, I can feel the Bearers beginning to react to Harmony. It isn't long until they're drawn to me, and then we can finally be truly together.
