Doctor Whooves was outside of his home and waiting for his next patient, this was a pony he called personally, he knew about the threat this pony dealt with, it was like nothing he has seen before. He hears walking and saw his patient, it was a male earth pony, he had a dark yellow coat, his mane and tail were short and were mostly light orange, with a small moderate yellow streak and a big dark green streak in them, he also had bangs, his eyes were a moderate yellow, and his cutie mark was a black pentagram.
The earth pony sees Doctor Whooves and walks to him,
"I've been waiting for you, Daylight Dimmer." Doctor Whooves said,
"How did you find me?" Daylight Dimmer asked in a deadpan and stoic tone,
"I'm a time traveler, I know about your deeds." Doctor Whooves replied,
"Very well." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Come in, I'd like to hear about you, and the three creatures you fought six months ago." and they enter the home.
Doctor Whooves sits across from Daylight Dimmer,
"I don't understand, even if you are a time traveler, you shouldn't know about my battle with the Friendship Absorbers, regular people cannot see, hear, feel, or sense them." Daylight Dimmer said,
"I have my ways, I just wish to hear your story, I'm not here to judge you, but first, I also need to know your occupation." Doctor Whooves replied,
"Assassin." Daylight Dimmer said,
"There, now we can begin, I've wanted to hear your tale for a long time." Doctor Whooves said, and Daylight Dimmer begins to tell his story.
Daylight Dimmer lived with his family on a farm, they were poor and struggling to live, his father was Daylight Sunshine, his mother was Bright Sky, and his older sister was Sunburn, he did not get along with any of them. Daylight Sunshine was a lazy and filthy stallion, he did not do any work on the farm, Bright Sky was a stay-at-home pony and cared more about running the farm than attending her family, and Sunburn was the leader of a gang of thieves, she started it because she hated the farm life and wanted a life of luxury.
Daylight Sunshine had a dark orange coat, an even darker orange mane and tail, and purple eyes, his cutie mark was two small suns, he looked just like Daylight Dimmer. Bright Sky had a red coat, an orange and yellow striped mane and tail, and green eyes, her cutie mark was three white clouds. Sunburn had a light yellow coat, a red, orange, and yellow mane and tail, and bright orange eyes, her cutie mark was a sword with fire behind it.
Daylight Dimmer was a sad and angry colt, his family treated him and one another with nothing but disdain and disrespect, they argued and fought every day; his teachers in school were mean and only cared about money, he was the only student in his class with no friends, while every other pony was friends with one another, and had the lowest score on every assignment. The one thing that Daylight Dimmer hated more than anything was reading, he could not stand books, he found them to be boring and him having to look down to read hurt his neck, his family made fun of him for this, while his classmates made fun of him for being poor, and being the only student to not have an extracurricular activity outside of school.
One day, there was news going around that Princess Celestia was looking for a pony to have as a protégé, Daylight Dimmer wanted to be her student, but his parents refused, and he found out that Princess Celestia was only accepting unicorns from a conversation he overheard. Daylight Dimmer became enraged, he growls and screams in anger, he runs around the farm and destroys things in his blind fury at his one chance to leave the life he hated so much, Sunburn already left to start her life of crime, and her room was unattended, Daylight Dimmer went in there and destroyed her things as well, he punches and kicks the fences to destroy them. He was finally caught and restrained by his parents, he calms down and looks around, his parents point to the exit of the farm and he leaves.
Daylight Dimmer wanders through the desert around his home, it was very hot, he sits down and sighs, he thought that this might actually be worse than living in an area where everypony was mean to him. He hears walking from behind and saw a big male unicorn coming to him, he was very tall, he had a black coat, his mane and tail were long and dark purple, gray, dark red, and dark brown, it was not flowing, his eyes were red, and his cutie mark was a red sun with a skull in the center of it, he was also wearing silver horseshoes,
"I saw your fit of rage back there, I think you may have potential." the unicorn said in a deep voice,
"Who are you?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"I am Demonicus, I was Celestia's magic rival back when we were students of Star Swirl the Bearded." the unicorn replied,
"Wait, you know Celestia?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Yes, I now hear she is seeking a protégé, I am too, and I think you may be the one, come with me, and I will make you stronger than you ever will be." Demonicus replied,
"But I don't have a horn." Daylight Dimmer said,
"You don't need a horn to cast magic." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer becomes surprised,
"What do you say, young one?" Demonicus asked,
"Sure, I don't have anywhere to go, anyway." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"What is your name?" Demonicus asked,
"Daylight Dimmer." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"I see, from now on, you will address me as Master." Demonicus said,
"Understood." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Follow me now." Demonicus said, and they walk together.
Daylight Dimmer follows Demonicus and he enters an underground cave, it was dark and dirty inside, he uses his magic to light up the cave, his magic aura was red, there was a magical reflection in the water on the ground,
"What's with the water?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"That is to watch Celestia, I am planning to prove to her that I can raise a better student than she can." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer and Demonicus saw Princess Celestia in her castle, Daylight Dimmer starts to become angry at seeing her,
"Is something the matter, Daylight Dimmer?" Demonicus asked,
"I wanted to be her protégé, but not only did my parents refuse, but she wouldn't accept me anyway because she's only taking in unicorns to be her student." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"I see, Celestia was always close-minded when it came to casting magic, Pegasi and earth ponies can use magic too, but not like unicorns, they learn magic differently." Demonicus said,
"How do they learn magic?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Meditation, and also memories and emotions, I noticed that you hold many painful memories." Demonicus replied,
"What did you mean by I have potential?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"As you know, Celestia wants to spread friendship throughout the land, but even friendship requires balance, the opposite of friendship is enmity, hatred, it is as equally powerful as friendship, as you know, friendship will not always work, trying to befriend someone can cause them to hate you. There is also a threat in Equestria that cannot be beaten with friendship, I'll let you know about them when they do appear." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer was liking this so far,
"You have potential because you are sad and angry about your life, you are also lonely, and jealous about of your classmates being able to do things that you cannot do, and they all build up to your hatred, I will teach you how to use that hatred as magic, and many more." Demonicus said while smiling,
"Wait, just one thing, Master, I hate reading, and don't like books." Daylight Dimmer said, Demonicus chuckled,
"Don't worry, none of my lessons will require reading, I believe that experience is more powerful than knowledge." Demonicus replied,
"Yes." Daylight Dimmer said as he pumped his front left hoof, Demonicus chuckled,
"Let's get started, you have a lot to learn, Daylight Dimmer." Demonicus said, and Daylight Dimmer begins his training.
Daylight Dimmer began his training by doing planks to get into shape, and then discussed military tactics with Demonicus, he taught him about the wars Equestria have had by using his magic to replay the events, Demonicus was at some of the wars. The two had a strict diet of hay, fruits, vegetables, and water, they had six small meals a day, and they meditated when they had free time, Daylight Dimmer was growling and angry when he meditated since his memories flooded his mind,
"Remember, Daylight, patience, this takes time, years of training, and my first lesson of advice to you: short temper is a weakness." Demonicus said while he meditated next to him to his left, he was floating in midair as well, Daylight Dimmer continued meditating, he was liking Demonicus so far because when he had him do something as his training, Demonicus was doing it with him.
Four months pass and Daylight Dimmer was still getting into shape, learning military tactics and history, having the same diet, and meditating, his exercises were now pushups, sit-ups, crunches, pull-ups, chin-ups, stretching, running, and weight lifting. Demonicus supported him and praised him for what he did right, while using constructive criticism for the things he did wrong, the training was hard, but Demonicus tried to make it fun, the water glows white and it catches Daylight Dimmer's attention, who was busy doing a plank,
"Master, the water." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Let's go check it out." Demonicus replied, and they stop doing the plank together, they look and see Princess Celestia,
"What's going on?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"It seems Celestia has finally got a protégé of her own." Demonicus replied, the two watch and see Princess Celestia's protégé was Sunset Shimmer,
"Look at that, she finally got a student." Demonicus said,
"Yeah, I can tell just from looking at her that she's younger than me." Daylight Dimmer replied, Sunset Shimmer was a filly in the reflection, while Daylight Dimmer was a teenager,
"Let's keep an eye on her, I'd like to see how she does with her pupil." Demonicus said, Daylight Dimmer was interested as well, and the two keep training.
Three years pass and Daylight Dimmer was now learning martial arts from Demonicus, this day was when he learned a very important lesson. Daylight Dimmer runs towards Demonicus to fight him, he hit Daylight Dimmer with his front right hoof and it sent Daylight Dimmer flying into a wall, he grunted when he hit it, he stands up and growls, he runs towards Demonicus again and he was kicked away again, Daylight Dimmer was getting angry because he could not get a scratch on Demonicus when practicing martial arts with him,
"Why?! Why can't I land a hit on you?!" Daylight Dimmer asked angrily,
"Two reasons, one, you're being too loud, you have to sneak and be silent, and two, you're attacking from the front, never attack from the front unless you have no choice, Daylight, always attack your opponent from behind or their blind spots." Demonicus replied calmly,
"But that's dishonorable." Daylight Dimmer said with shock,
"Honor is a fool's tool, Daylight, it will only make your chances of winning harder, use whatever you have at your disposal to win, use the environment, taunt them, hit them in the groin, sever their limbs, conceal your weapons, do what you must to win, if you try to fight fairly or honorably, you will have a higher chance of losing, and in worst cases, you will die." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer was convinced,
"Now, go on, attack me from behind or my blind spots, and be quiet as you move." Demonicus said, and Daylight Dimmer walks backwards into the shadows.
Demonicus walks around and looks for Daylight Dimmer, he sneaks around in the shadows and creeps up on Demonicus from behind, he bucks Demonicus' hind legs, he grunts and falls,
"Yes! I got you!" Daylight Dimmer said loudly and happily, Demonicus stood up and bucked him, he grunted and fell,
"Two more lessons, Daylight, first lesson: most of your opponents will not give up after one hit, you have to keep fighting, when they are stunned or incapacitated, that is your chance to severely damage them, and if the fight is a fight to the death, that is your chance to kill them; second lesson: never, ever, brag or gloat, that will leave you vulnerable, and the enemies will know what your next plans are, if you have plans, keep it to yourself, I cannot count how many of my enemies have fallen because they have gloated about their plans in front of me when they captured me, and then put me in a trap that I escaped, and I tracked them down and put them down, therefore, do not gloat or boast about your plans or achievements." Demonicus explained,
"Understood, Master." Daylight Dimmer replied, and they keep training.
Two years pass and Demonicus had Daylight Dimmer do discussions on leadership, he was taught how to lead a few days ago,
"Okay, now, Daylight, you know how to lead, but here's the tough part, would you rather lead from the front or the rear?" Demonicus asked, Daylight Dimmer thought about it, they both had their advantages and disadvantages,
"If I lead from the front, I'll be able to lead others without giving orders, but if I go into battle first, I'll be more likely to die, and if my comrades have no leadership skills, they'll be in turmoil. If I lead from behind, I'll be able to watch from afar and see how things go, along with being heavily guarded, but I'll have no one to protect me from behind, so if I'm attacked from behind, I'll likely die, and the others will have to look back at me when I give commands, along with some of them misinterpreting what I say. They both have pros and cons." Daylight Dimmer thought to himself,
"I would prefer to lead from the middle." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Really? That is the riskiest one." Demonicus replied,
"I know, I choose that so that I will be guarded from all directions, and I can see everything coming to me as I command my troops." Daylight Dimmer said,
"On the downside, if you try to escape, you can't, you're not a Pegasus, so you can't fly, also, if your allies turn against you, you'll have nowhere to run." Demonicus said,
"The reason why I choose it is because I can see two advantages from it, while leading from the front or the back only have one, even though I can see two disadvantages to all three of them." Daylight Dimmer replied, Demonicus chuckled,
"I like your answer, let's keep training your martial arts." Demonicus said, and they keep training.
One week passes and Daylight Dimmer keeps using his suppressed anger of his family, classmates, and Princess Celestia to learn martial arts, and his hatred of his previous life to make himself stronger, he meditates shortly afterwards and his anger and hatred overflow him, he begins to float off of the ground, even though he did not feel it, Daylight Dimmer growls under his breath and dark green auras appear around his hoofs, he hears it and opens his eyes, he saw himself floating off of the ground,
"You are ready, stop meditating and aim your hooves at the target." Demonicus said, the two float down and Demonicus makes a wooden target appear, Daylight Dimmer focuses on his anger and hatred of his past life and lets out a scream of rage, he holds his front legs out and shoots out a dark green energy blast, it hits the target and destroys it with wooden shards flying everywhere, Daylight Dimmer was in awe,
"Whoa!" Daylight Dimmer said, a white flash appears and Daylight Dimmer gets his cutie mark,
"You're ready to learn your next form of fighting, it's called ponyjutsu, I will teach you how to use your anger and hatred as a weapon, and as a way to defend yourself." Demonicus replied,
"Whoa, wait, now using hatred to hurt, I understand, but I don't get how it can be used for defensive reasons." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Just like how your anger and hatred give you offensive abilities, you also don't want the thing angering you to be around anymore, you can use that memory or the thing angering you at the moment to give yourself defensive abilities." Demonicus said,
"Oh, so that's how that works." Daylight Dimmer replied, Demonicus nodded and Daylight Dimmer gets ready to train even more, excited about the new fighting style.
Daylight Dimmer was taught how to use his hatred and anger to form swords, spears, staffs, and bow and arrows, Demonicus trained him in all of it, he was taught how to attack, and counter with different weapons that Demonicus used by using his own hatred and anger to summon them, his was red just like the aura around his horn whenever he casted magic. Daylight Dimmer was only taught two defensive moves, but they were effective, the first one formed a shield all around him to block any attack from all directions, the second one made him become dark green like his aura, it made him invincible to all attacks and unicorn spells,
"You did very well today, Daylight, but remember, it's okay to have friends and be loved, you just use your anger and hatred to fight, as I said, love and hate must be balanced, if you feel nothing but hatred and anger at all times, your magic will be too powerful for you to handle, so keep it in check." Demonicus said,
"Understood." Daylight Dimmer replied, Demonicus smiled and they keep training.
A year passes and the water glows again, the two look and saw Princess Celestia and Sunset Shimmer arguing, they argue and Sunset Shimmer leaves to the other side of the mirror, the two chuckle,
"Looks like I win, Celestia." Demonicus said,
"What happened between you and Celestia?" Daylight Dimmer asked, Demonicus uses his magic and changes the picture in the water, Daylight Dimmer saw a younger Demonicus, his mane was completely dark red, he was with Princess Celestia, who had a pink mane and was a unicorn, they were the same height in the picture,
"Don't you grow tired of these enemies invading us again and again, Celestia?" Demonicus asked,
"Well, yes, I do, but it is for the better, I'm always hoping they'll accept friendship one day." Princess Celestia replied,
"Celestia, some of them are not going to accept friendship, and will keep invading us, I say it's about time we invade them and make them feel what we feel." Demonicus said,
"No, it will make us no different than them." Princess Celestia replied,
"That's not the point, the idea is if we invade them, they'll feel our pain and stop." Demonicus said,
"And what if they don't, and invade us again?" Princess Celestia said,
"Then we fight back, as always, and if we win, we help the ponies rebuild, but for extra measure so that they don't invade us again and hurt the other ponies, we capture and execute them all, starting with the leader of the invasion." Demonicus replied, Princess Celestia's jaw dropped, horrified at the plan,
"No! That will make us worse than them!" Princess Celestia said sternly,
"You would rather choose to be invaded again and again than finding a way to stop it permanently?" Demonicus asked,
"If it involves taking the lives of the invaders, then yes, they have family and friends, too, Demonicus." Princess Celestia replied,
"And what if they kill a pony?" Demonicus asked,
"We're still not taking their lives, Demonicus." Princess Celestia replied,
"That's enough, you two, you're both wrong." Star Swirl the Bearded said as he walked to them,
"Demonicus, it is wrong to take a life, regardless of reason or motivation, and Celestia, while yes, it will make us no different, the main reason why we cannot take their lives is because if we are at war, it only escalate the war and make things worse, this argument is done." Star Swirl the Bearded said,
"But Star Swirl, what about morals?" Princess Celestia asked,
"Yes, those are important, but the facts are more important, you will make a fine ruler, Celestia, by this argument alone, I have decided that it is you and Luna who shall be alicorns, as for you, Demonicus, your beliefs make you too dangerous to be an alicorn, be gone, I will not teach my magic to someone who has morals and beliefs like you." Star Swirl the Bearded said, and Demonicus walked out of the castle.
Demonicus changes the water back to Princess Celestia crying over Sunset Shimmer leaving,
"Wait, Master, how did your mane and tail become multicolored like now?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Potion, I absorbed some of Celestia's alicorn magic through this water, I mixed it into a potion made from the nutrients needed to live, combined with the alicorn magic, but I took a little too much, so when I drank it, my mane and tail became like this, I don't have the magic of an alicorn, but I have their lifespan with me, if I have the time, I'll teach you how to make the potion." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer was excited, and they keep training together.
Many years pass and Daylight Dimmer's training was complete, he was taught how to use his hatred as other forms of travel, he realized that he can walk on water with it, and float in midair with it. Demonicus also taught him other forms of ponyjutsu, such as predicting the weather, telling time without a watch or clock, finding directions with the sun, and what colors to wear at night when infiltrating, he wore white on a full moon, black on a new moon, and dark blue on other nights. Daylight Dimmer was still full of anger and hatred from his foalhood, he used it whenever Demonicus sent him to deal with threats around Equestria, he always hid in the shadows and attacked his opponents from their blind spots or behind, they were usually dangerous wildlife and changelings. Daylight Dimmer has a flashback one day while he walked around in a town,
"Daylight Dimmer, always keep this information in your mind, when you fight your enemies, offer them a chance of redemption first, and if they reject it and run away, let them go, but if they come back and attack again, then kill them if you win that fight, they were offered a chance, and they rejected it, therefore, they must die." Demonicus said, Daylight Dimmer took those words to his heart, he thought it sounded reasonable. Daylight Dimmer was shopping for food and drinks for him and Demonicus, he leaves and goes back to the cave, they have the same strict diet and the water glows white again.
Daylight Dimmer and Demonicus walk to the water and see Princess Celestia has gotten a new student: Twilight Sparkle, she was a filly, the two chuckle,
"Celestia has to start over again." Demonicus said,
"No kidding, plus, look, she's only a foal, I'm already an adult." Daylight Dimmer replied, Demonicus chuckled,
"Not only that, your training's been done for two years now, while Celestia's back at square one, I think this more than proves that I'm the better teacher." Demonicus said, Daylight Dimmer smiled, even though Demonicus adopted him in order to prove that he is better at teaching than Princess Celestia, he can tell that Demonicus still cared very deeply about him, because he complimented him when he did good, only gave constructive criticism when he messed up, got him into shape, treated his wounds, and trained him to defend himself, Daylight saw Demonicus as his best friend.
Daylight Dimmer continues training and dieting to stay in shape, he and Demonicus watched Twilight Sparkle learn under Princess Celestia until she was sent to Ponyville, the two were stoic in watching Princess Celestia, time passes and Nightmare Moon returned, Princess Celestia forgave her and Princess Luna came back. Demonicus senses something and looks to his left and at the ceiling,
"What is it, Master?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"I sense a familiar presence, it may be the threat I've been training you for, but I can't say for sure yet." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer was uncomfortable but suppressed it.
Time passes and Discord reappeared,
"Master, I wish for permission to stop Discord." Daylight Dimmer said,
"I'm sorry, Daylight, but you can't, Discord is on a higher plane of existence than us, if I could, I would send you to take his life, but he can't die, you're going to have to sit this one out." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer watched the Mane Six fight Discord and saw Demonicus was right. Discord gets redeemed and Demonicus feels the same presence as before, but it was stronger than last time.
Daylight Dimmer continues doing jobs for Demonicus and he takes the lives of people who rejected their chance of redemption and forgiveness and attacked again, Daylight Dimmer made sure not to expose himself, he hid the bodies as well. Demonicus eventually sees Queen Chrysalis at the wedding and sees her defeated, he feels the same hostile presence from before get stronger when Shining Armor and Cadence marry, he still could not make out what it was.
King Sombra appears and he gets defeated, love and friendship was spread throughout the Crystal Empire, Demonicus feels a strong presence, he recognized it that time, but it was still weak, he decided to keep watching the world while he kept an eye on the presences he was feeling.
Twilight Sparkle becomes an alicorn and Demonicus decided to teach Daylight Dimmer the potion, he took some of Twilight Sparkle's magic through the water and liquefied the food and water needed for ponies to survive, Daylight Dimmer drank it and he was granted the lifespan of an alicorn, he felt great as well. Demonicus feels the same presence when Twilight Sparkle got crowned the Princess of Friendship, one of them was much stronger now,
"I know what the presence is now, Daylight, it's these three creatures of unknown origins, we call them the Friendship Absorbers, no one knows the true name of their species, there's three of them." Demonicus said,
"Who are they?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"The first one is Hathor, she's the Absorber of Friendship, any act of kindness, generosity, laughter, loyalty, or honesty will empower her, the Elements of Harmony except for the Element of Magic is her main power source, also, anyone becoming friends with another person or an animal will make her stronger. The second one is Eros, he's the Absorber of Love, his powers mainly come from marriages, Shining Armor and Cadence's marriage is a big example, other people's love for one another grant him his powers, like boyfriends and girlfriends. The last one is Himeros, he's the Absorber of Forgiveness, anyone forgiving another for past actions and that person reforming grants him his powers, he is the leader, and the strongest one." Demonicus replied,
"Where are they now?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Their powers are not strong enough yet for me to pinpoint their locations." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer was worried,
"Let's keep honing your abilities." Demonicus said, Daylight Dimmer nods and they continue testing one another's skills and abilities against each other.
The two see Sunset Shimmer return and saw that she was still vengeful and was angry at not being the princess, it made the Friendship Absorbers weaker, the two snicker at watching Twilight Sparkle and her five friends chase after her.
Sometime pass and Tirek started absorbing magic in Equestria, Demonicus felt the presence of the Friendship Absorbers get weaker while Tirek causes chaos, but the ponies who work together feed their acts of friendship to the Friendship Absorbers and make them stronger, their powers increased drastically when Tirek was defeated and put into Tartarus.
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon reforming made the Friendship Absorbers stronger, while Starlight Glimmer leaving and vowing revenge made them weaker, it was during this time that Daylight Dimmer was told by a townspony that his sister wanted to see him back at the farm, so he went.
Daylight Dimmer goes to the farm and saw Sunburn with an earth pony who had an orange coat, a gray mane and tail, and his cutie mark was an erupting volcano, it was Volcano, Daylight Dimmer's foalsitter when his parents were away shopping for things they did not need and when his sister was busy with her thieving, Volcano would babysit Daylight Dimmer, he was lazy and neglectful, and only started foalsitting him so that he can get close to Sunburn and marry her for her physical appearance. Daylight Dimmer looks and sees Sunburn was holding a baby, much to Daylight Dimmer's shock, but he goes over,
"What took you so long, abomination?" Sunburn asked,
"I was just taking my time, hoping you would leave." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Rhetorical question, numbskull." Volcano said,
"So why am I here?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Just wait, you idiot, mom and dad aren't here yet." Sunburn replied, and they wait.
Daylight Sunshine and Bright Sky walk out and see them,
"Why are you three still here?" Daylight Sunshine asked,
"I have something to show you three." Sunburn replied,
"We wasted our time waiting for you guys to leave, so make it quick." Bright Sky said,
"Okay, family, say hello to my son: Starburn." Sunburn replied, and she moves the blanket off, revealing an earth pony baby, who had a red-orange coat, a yellow mane, and orange eyes. Daylight Sunshine and Bright Sky look at it with disgust,
"What is this abomination?!" Daylight Sunshine asked angrily,
"It's your grandson!" Sunburn replied angrily,
"Grandson?! You just had to marry into our family!" Bright Sky said angrily,
"Hey! It's not my fault your daughter's beautiful!" Volcano replied angrily,
"And it's not my fault that he's rich!" Sunburn said angrily, the four keep arguing and Starburn begins to cry, Daylight Dimmer becomes shocked and picks up the baby,
"If you guys aren't going to accept it as family, then I'll raise it!" Daylight Dimmer said angrily,
"Good! Volcano and I only brought him here so somepony else would adopt him!" Sunburn replied,
"You weren't planning on raising him?!" Daylight Dimmer asked angrily,
"Having him was an accident, we never meant to have a baby." Volcano replied,
"Fine, I'm raising the baby." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Good, because there is no way I'm keeping that annoying noisemaker in the house." Daylight Sunshine replied,
"Well, now that's settled, our goals are done, we're leaving now." Sunburn said, and she and Volcano leave together, Daylight Dimmer left with Starburn shortly afterwards.
Daylight Dimmer goes to the cave and Demonicus sees the baby,
"Who's the foal?" Demonicus asked,
"Starburn, my baby nephew, my sister didn't want to raise him, so I adopted him." Daylight Dimmer replied, Demonicus chuckled,
"Hold on a minute." Demonicus said, and he casts a spell on him, Starburn became a four year old foal,
"What the? Whoa, I can talk, and uncle, it's you, thank you for taking me in." Starburn said,
"Now, now, my name is Demonicus, I am his master, I'm going to give you the same training I gave your uncle." Demonicus said,
"Yay." Starburn said, the two chuckled,
"Good luck, Starburn, and remember, it takes time, so be patient." Daylight Dimmer said, Starburn nodded excitedly,
"Very well, you start tomorrow." Demonicus said, and they all rest for the day.
Starlight Glimmer reforms and the power of the Friendship Absorbers get stronger, Daylight Dimmer and Demonicus help Starburn train, he was having a lot of fun, Demonicus also taught him to use his hatred of his mother, father, and grandparents to fuel his powers. The three see Queen Chrysalis reject being reformed, it made the presence of the Friendship Absorbers weaker, but they continue training.
Daylight Dimmer keeps doing jobs in Equestria, he was tasked with hunting down Queen Chrysalis, he could not find her, so he went back to the cave to help Starburn train.
Starlight Glimmer befriending Trixie made the Friendship Absorbers stronger, so did solving the friendship problems, eventually, the Pillars and the Stygian reform, which also made them stronger, so did the reformation of Tempest Shadow and Grubber, it increased their powers drastically, Demonicus was almost able to pinpoint their locations. Princess Celestia and Sunset Shimmer reconciling also made the Friendship Absorbers stronger. Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship gets opened and it was spreading friendship throughout the entire land, Demonicus becomes shocked by this and it increased the power of one of the Friendship Absorbers by a tremendous amount,
"Daylight, I am finally able to pinpoint the location of the Friendship Absorbers, they're in the Dragon Lands, hurry, friendship is being spread throughout all of the countries, if they absorb all of the friendship, love, and forgiveness in this entire land, they will have enough power to wipe us all out, they must be destroyed." Demonicus said,
"Why didn't Celestia do anything about them?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"She has never encountered them, now go, destroy them before they use the friendship in this land as weapons." Demonicus replied,
"Why can't you fight them yourself?" Starburn asked,
"I would if I could, but Celestia would sense me, and I doubt she'll be happy to see me again, she did not sense those three since they are filled with friendship and love, now go, Daylight, the Elements of Harmony will make one of them stronger as she absorbs it from the bearers, go and destroy them." Demonicus replied, and Daylight Dimmer runs to the Dragon Lands.
Daylight Dimmer arrives into the Dragon Lands and sees several dead dragons, he also saw orange mist coming out of them and going into the sky, he follows the mist and sees a being in an orange robe floating in the sky, he looks and sees two dragons,
"Please, I apologize from the bottom of my heart, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings like that." the male dragon said,
"Really? You didn't?" the female dragon asked, the male dragon shook his head,
"I forgive you then." the female dragon said, and they hug one another, but they then scream and their skins turn into orange mist, their skeletons are left on the ground while the mist goes into the being floating above them,
"Yes, forgive one another so you can feed me and give me power." the orange robed being said with his deep voice echoing, Daylight Dimmer was able to figure out that he was Himeros, other sources of orange mist appeared as well, he was absorbing the lifespan of the enemies of the Mane Six that were forgiven, he then floated away. Daylight Dimmer is contacted telepathically,
"Remember, Daylight, the Friendship Absorbers absorb from all over the land at once, it also absorbs your lifespan away, the closer they are, the more of your lifespan they will take, but if they are extremely close to you, and do an act of friendship, love, or forgiveness, then they will take all of your lifespan and kill you, this is why they need to be stopped." Demonicus said telepathically, Daylight Dimmer kept an eye on Himeros and saw him float away.
Daylight Dimmer hears something to his left and he looks, he saw a newly wed dragon couple walking together, they were alone, they kiss one another and then scream as their skins turn into red mist and they are absorbed into a being with a red robe and hood above them, the being snickered, his voice echoed, Daylight Dimmer realizes it was a male voice, and was able deduce that he was Eros,
"That's right, love one another, so that I may take it and use it as my weapons." Eros said, Daylight Dimmer also saw a big red mist going into Eros, Daylight Dimmer gets onto to a bigger volcano and saw it was coming from the Crystal Empire, he looks carefully and sees that Shining Armor and Cadence were unknowingly using their love for one another to empower him, Daylight Dimmer sees him float away.
Yellow mist appears everywhere and everyone was oblivious to it, he hears six male dragons screaming and he jumps from volcano to volcano to see it, he sees six dragon skeletons, he hears a female laughing and he looks up and saw a being in a yellow robe, he was able to tell that she was Hathor, she was laughing maniacally, her voice echoed as well,
"Yes, yes, yes! Give me your friendship! Give me your powers so that we may destroy you all, and then conquer and rule all of this land!" Hathor said loudly, six yellow mists were coming from Ponyville, she was absorbing the lifespan of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack, Daylight Dimmer notices that she was absorbing Twilight Sparkle's lifespan because she was the Princess of Friendship, she then floated away while laughing maniacally,
"I don't understand, how does no one see, hear, feel, or sense them?" Daylight Dimmer asked himself, he was contacted telepathically,
"Only those who are filled with hatred and anger like yourself can notice them, people who feel friendship cannot, that is why Celestia never noticed them, but I have, I have grown to hate Star Swirl for kicking me out and anger at Celestia for not agreeing with me, now focus, Daylight, use what I taught you, and decide on which one you should kill first." Demonicus replied, and he ended the contact.
Daylight Dimmer watches Himeros, Eros, and Hathor carefully, he sees the three float around and he follows them, orange, red, and yellow mists appear from everywhere, a male dragon screams,
"Guys, look, up there!" the dragon said, several other dragons look at where the three Friendship Absorbers were at,
"I don't see anything." another male dragon replied,
"But they're right there." the male dragon said,
"You're probably just tired from being mad about losing the game, you should go get some rest." a third male dragon replied,
"I'm not tired! I can see them just fine!" the male dragon said angrily,
"Come on, let's get you some rest." a fourth male dragon said,
"But I'm not tired, and I can see them completely fine, I'm telling the truth!" the male dragon said angrily while the three other dragons drag him away so he can sleep.
Daylight Dimmer watches the three Friendship Absorbers float away while they continue absorbing the friendship, love, and forgiveness of others in order to empower themselves, they were draining their lifespans in the process, he follows them from behind and was ready to destroy them without them finding out. Daylight Dimmer lets his suppressed anger of Princess Celestia not accepting Pegasi or earth ponies as her protégé since she did not believe they can cast magic, dark green mist comes out of him and it goes into all three of them because he did not have any friends, he was filled with hatred at the time, and he has not forgiven Princess Celestia or anypony from his foalhood for how they treated him. The Friendship Absorbers absorb the dark green mist and they grunt in pain, they turn around and see Daylight Dimmer, he was looking at them, they float down to him and walk to him,
"Who are you?" Eros asked,
"I'm your challenger." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"You? Ha. Celestia can't even hurt us, we'll destroy you." Hathor said,
"Never say "I will" unless you are completely certain it will happen, otherwise, use the phrase "I might."" Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Wait, that saying, you don't serve under Celestia, you were sent by Demonicus." Himeros said,
"So he's still alive after all." Eros said,
"Oh, just imagine how Celestia and Twilight Sparkle will feel when they find out that their desire to spread friendship will only empower us." Hathor said,
"Hathor." Eros said a little sternly,
"And when we are strong enough, we will attack them and destroy them, I also can't wait to see their reactions when they find out that the Elements of Harmony don't work on us, it just makes us stronger and gives us more power, well, I don't absorb the Element of Magic, but that one can't exist without the other five, so we're immune to it." Hathor said,
"Hathor." Eros said sternly,
"And shortly after we take their lives, we conquer the other areas of this land, and rule it, and then conquer all of the other lands out there." Hathor said,
"HATHOR, THAT'S ENOUGH!!" Eros said angrily, Hathor shrieked and stopped speaking,
"It seems you've got yourself a chatterer." Daylight Dimmer said,
"That's our little sister for you." Himeros replied calmly while glaring at Hathor,
"Hey! I'm not little!" Hathor said angrily,
"Well, you are the youngest one out of the three of us." Eros replied,
"The tongue is but three inches long, yet it can kill someone who is six feet high." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Still though, Demonicus has to send his servant to deal with us instead of confronting us himself." Himeros said,
"That's because if he comes, Celestia will sense him, and she probably won't be happy to see him again." Daylight Dimmer replied, the three Friendship Absorbers chuckle,
"Well, let's see what you got." Himeros said, and the three throw off their robes, all three of them had crystalline bodies, they were glowing brightly as well, they also lacked mouths and were bipedal. Himeros had an orange body, glowing eyes that were completely orange and slanted, he had a bald head that was shaped like an upside-down triangle, a muscular body, and claws in place of fingers and toes, he was the tallest of the three. Eros had a red body, glowing eyes that were completely red and slanted, he had claws in place of fingers and toes, his head was completely round with bright red fur on the back of his head and neck, and red tusks at where the sides of his mouth would be. Hathor had a yellow body, glowing eyes that were completely yellow and slanted, and claws in place of fingers and toes, she had a round head, a long light yellow semi-transparent fish fin-like hair that covered the sides of her head and went down to her lower-back, she was the shortest of the three, about the same height as Garble.
Daylight Dimmer stands on his hind legs and focuses on his hatred and anger from his fillyhood to empower himself,
"Oh please, you think that's going to help you? You're not going to harm us." Hathor said,
"Hathor, that's enough, let's see just how powerful he is." Himeros replied in a calm and stoic tone, and Hathor remained quiet.
Dark green auras appear around Daylight Dimmer's front hooves, the auras form into a big beam, he shoots it at the three and Hathor screams while Eros grunted. Daylight Dimmer looks and sees that Hathor flew all the way across the ground, into the side of the volcano behind her, Eros was pushed back a few centimeters, and Himeros was completely unfazed, he was not pushed back a bit. Daylight Dimmer notice that Eros might be just a little weaker than Himeros, but Hathor was a weakling when compared to the other two, he was curious on why that was the case.
Hathor floats back and was angry,
"I can't believe you would hurt a girl." Hathor said,
"An enemy is an enemy, regardless of race, gender, age, social class, or species." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"A great, a pessimist." Eros said sarcastically,
"Never be optimistic or pessimistic, be realistic, so you can see both, the positives and the negatives." Daylight Dimmer said,
"What did Demonicus teach you about being passive or aggressive?" Himeros asked,
"Don't be passive or aggressive, be assertive, and the goal in life is to become an assertive realist." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Yup, you're definitely Demonicus' pupil, only he would say something like that." Himeros said,
"Enough talk, time to fight, I might win, you might win, but we will battle here and now." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Very well." Himeros said, he lifts his arms up, orange auras appear around his hands and feet, Eros summoned a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, they were red with fire around them, and Hathor summoned three bladed claws made from yellow energy in her right hand, and two more in her left hand, energy is taken from the five claws and a sixth one is formed in Hathor's left hand.
Daylight Dimmer can sense how their weapons were formed, Himeros just had energy auras because forgiveness usually begins by holding hands with someone, Eros had a sword and shield because of a knight in shining armor cliché, and the fire due to people thinking that love is a burning passion, and Hathor had five bladed claws because each one represented an Element of Harmony, they fused together to make the sixth one, which represented the Element of Magic.
The Friendship Absorbers fly towards him and Daylight Dimmer does a somersault and jumps over them, Hathor holds her left hand out and yellow butterflies go towards him to attack, he cuts them all down with two dark green swords and they disappear with yellow flames appearing around them.
Eros swings his sword around and sends waves of red fire to Daylight Dimmer, he uses his suppressed hatred of his family to make a dark green shield around himself and blocks it.
Daylight Dimmer sees the red mist on him and notices that Eros was getting most of his powers from Princess Cadence, he was slowly killing her by secretly absorbing her lifespan from a faraway distance.
Himeros holds his hands together and shoots an orange energy blast at Daylight Dimmer, the blast disabled his shield completely, Daylight Dimmer does a flip to his right side when he saw another orange energy blast coming to him, he jumps in the air and does another somersault, he tries to slash Himeros with his two swords, but an orange barrier appears in front of Himeros and it blocks Daylight Dimmer's attack.
Daylight Dimmer is shot back and he falls; Hathor slashes her claws around and it made yellow diamond shaped energy blasts appear, they were shaped like Rarity's cutie mark, Daylight Dimmer rolls to his left, the diamonds left diamond shaped cuts on whatever it hit. Daylight Dimmer jumps over one of the energy diamonds and uses his anger and hatred to make his own dark green energy stronger, he slashes Hathor on her shoulders, she screams in pain while dark green flames appeared on her shoulders.
Eros swings his sword around again and sends fire to Daylight Dimmer, he rolls to his right and turns around, he shoots a dark green energy blast of hatred to Eros, he holds his shield forward and a force field of fire appears in front of him, he deflects it and sends it to Daylight Dimmer, who just simply absorbed it.
Daylight Dimmer looks for Himeros since he was nowhere to be seen, he looks up and sees him in the air, Himeros does a counterclockwise spin while in midair and kicks to his left three times, first with his right leg, and then his left leg, then his right leg again, each one sent an orange wave of energy to Daylight Dimmer.
Daylight Dimmer gets hit and he grunts, the three waves restrain him, one at his head, one at his waist and front hooves, and one at his hind hooves, he tries to break free but could not,
"Okay, now, finish him off." Himeros said as he got ready to do an attack, he lifts his arms up and the orange auras get bigger, Eros lifts his arms up and Himeros absorbs some of the red aura from him, Hathor screams as she tries, Daylight Dimmer's wounds has left her unable to move her arms completely,
"My shoulders, I can't move them." Hathor said,
"Really, Hathor? Now?" Eros asked in a very annoyed tone,
"I'm sorry, but my injuries are preventing me from doing our finishing move." Hathor replied,
"See, this is what you get for not training!" Eros said angrily,
"But I hate training!" Hathor replied angrily,
"We have no choice, Eros, I know it's frustrating for you, but we have to treat Hathor's wounds." Himeros said,
"Ugh, fine, you got lucky this time, but don't count on it next time." Eros said, and the three Friendship Absorbers float away.
Daylight Dimmer breaks free from his restraints and stands up,
"What was that about?" Daylight Dimmer asked to himself, he was then contacted telepathically,
"They were about to do a finishing move on you, since you're filled with hatred and anger, they were going to put the friendship, love, and forgiveness they absorbed into you and destroy you, they do it to make sure their opponents stay dead, because people they fought in the past survived their normal killing attacks due to their anger and hatred giving them resistance to being killed by one of them, so they combine their powers into one to kill now." Demonicus replied,
"Oh." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Well, go on, Daylight, after them." Demonicus said telepathically,
"Right." Daylight Dimmer replied, and he runs after them.
Daylight Dimmer sees the three Friendship Absorbers floating away and he watches them carefully, Hathor was still in pain,
"I'm starting to get bored from just going after them, Demonicus." Daylight Dimmer said quietly,
"Well, since you're bored, I guess I'll talk about my early days. When Celestia and I were students, she and I always had arguments and fights, one thing I found funny when we were younger was that Celestia would get really mad whenever I said I'm a better actor than her, she always wanted to be in a play when she was younger, but couldn't, so rubbing that in her face would anger her. Luna and I got along better though, she and I would prank Celestia together sometimes and it would annoy her, one prank I did that made both of them mad was when I took Celestia's pound cake with frosting and Luna's grilled cheese sandwich and swapped them around, they looked exactly the same, they were both so livid, but they didn't find out that it was me who did it." Demonicus said, Daylight Dimmer chuckled a bit,
"What did you do before you left Star Swirl?" Daylight Dimmer asked quietly,
"I controlled the sun, while Celestia only raised it, I controlled how strong and intense it would be, I sent people to the sun too, but I made sure it was blazing hot so it would burn them, Celestia was so mad when she found out, the sun is not strong now because I'm not there to control its power. I was going to send the Friendship Absorbers into the sun for them to get burned, but I was kicked out by Star Swirl before I had the chance, I don't control it now because if I do, Celestia will find out that I'm still around." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer was stoic at the revelation,
"That's nice, Master, but I think I found their hideout." Daylight Dimmer said in a quiet tone,
"Alright, good luck." Demonicus replied, and he ends the telepathic communication.
Daylight Dimmer was at Mount Aris, the hippogriffs have come back after the Storm King's defeat, they float away while the hippogriffs do not see, hear, feel, or sense them. The hippogriffs were partaking in traditional activities, which made them befriend several other hippogriffs, Hathor absorbed the friendship and it made her stronger. The three Friendship Absorbers go under the mountain and into their hideout, Daylight Dimmer followed them while he hid from the hippogriffs and stayed in the shadows.
Himeros healed Hathor's wounds by touching her shoulders, she groaned in pain from it for a few seconds before she was fully healed, Eros was not happy with waiting,
"See, Hathor, this is why you need to train, you'll never get better if you don't." Himeros said,
"But I have the most powers out of all of us." Hathor replied,
"You're still the weakest one, though, friendship may be more abundant, but it's the weakest because that's the easiest thing for people to achieve, falling in love and forgiving others are hard." Eros said in an annoyed tone,
"Well, let's train, we have to get stronger in case we have to face either Discord or Tirek in the future." Himeros said,
"What about Chrysalis and Sombra?" Eros asked,
"Sombra's dead, and Chrysalis is barely worth noticing." Himeros replied,
"Alright." Eros said, and the two spar with one another.
Daylight Dimmer hid on a beam of their hideout's ceiling and watches Himeros and Eros battle one another, Eros was swinging his sword around and Himeros grabbed and parried every strike with his hands, Eros also tried to hit Himeros with the shield, which he parried with his right arm, Eros makes a flame shaped heart with his sword and shoots it at Himeros by stabbing his sword through the center of it, it set everything it touched on fire, Himeros jumped over it and kicked Eros in the chest with both of his feet, he grunts and falls.
Hathor claps and Eros glares at her,
"I don't see why you're happy, you're not training again." Eros said annoyed,
"I don't like training, it makes me short of breath and it's exhausting." Hathor replied,
"That's why you have to focus, come on, we got more energy to absorb in the land." Himeros said, and they get ready to leave.
Daylight Dimmer jumps down and aims for the back of Hathor's head, he hits her with his hind hooves and Hathor screams as she falls. She gets back up and faces Daylight Dimmer along with her two older brothers,
"Haven't you ever heard of fighting fair?!" Hathor asked annoyed,
"Honor and fairness only decrease your chances at winning a fight." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Let's hear you say that after we take over the land." Hathor said,
"Hathor!" Eros said sternly, she shirked, and then growled at him,
"Hathor, watch your emotions." Himeros said, Hathor stops growling and reluctantly calmed down,
"Are you here to fight us?" Himeros asked,
"Of course, I might win this time if I'm lucky." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"You still have some stamina left, Eros?" Himeros asked,
"A little." Eros replied,
"Very well, let's see how well you fare this time." Himeros said, and the three Friendship Absorbers get ready to battle him.
Eros swings his sword around and sends fire towards Daylight Dimmer, he jumps onto the wall to his right with his hind right leg and then turns his body ninety degrees counterclockwise, he spins in midair and kicks Eros in the face with his hind left hoof, Eros grunts and falls.
Hathor laughs and it echoes, it was hurting Daylight Dimmer's ears, she then holds her hands out and shoots out yellow apples, Daylight Dimmer bent his spine and dodged them, he summons a dark green staff in his front hooves and spins it around to deflect the incoming apples. Daylight Dimmer jumps up and hits Hathor on the head with the staff, she grunted in pain and stumbled, Daylight Dimmer then hits her shins and her left cheek, she grunts and falls onto the floor.
Daylight Dimmer makes the staff disappear as he focuses on Himeros, he holds his arms out and shoots an orange energy blast at him, Daylight Dimmer runs towards it and then moves his body back, he slides with his hind right leg out, he gets close to Himeros and punches him in the groin with his front right hoof, his eyes widen and he falls from the hit.
Daylight Dimmer looks at the Friendship Absorbers, he decided to try Demonicus' teachings about offering them redemption first to see if it will work, he holds his front right hoof out,
"I'm offering you three forgiveness and redemption, stop what you're doing, and befriend me, or reject it, and leave this place, but don't invade us again, the choice is yours." Daylight Dimmer said, Himeros looks at him, he grabs Daylight Dimmer's hoof with his left hand, his stare becomes sharper and he pulls Daylight Dimmer forward,
"Fool." Himeros said as he began to absorb Daylight Dimmer's forgiveness and kill him, Daylight Dimmer uses his anger at the moment to make his orange mist change to dark green and Himeros absorbs it instead, he grunts and lets go of him,
"Retreat, we have to find a new hideout." Himeros said, and the three float out of the hideout.
Daylight Dimmer watches them and he was contacted telepathically,
"See, that is why I told you they have to be destroyed." Demonicus said,
"I thought it was worth a try, it was also what you taught me." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Yes, I know, but these three are exceptions." Demonicus said, Daylight Dimmer looked down,
"Do you know what happens if you win against them next time?" Demonicus asked,
"Kill them." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Exactly, now go after them, try to take them out before they find a new hideout." Demonicus said, and he ends the contact, Daylight Dimmer heads out and looks for the three Friendship Absorbers.
Daylight Dimmer comes out and sees red, yellow, and orange mists everywhere, he follows the mists and sees two male hippogriffs forgiving one another for mistakes they made, orange mists came out of them and Daylight Dimmer followed it. Daylight Dimmer looks and sees that the three color mists went their separate ways after a while, he thought about it and decided to take Hathor out first because her absorbing was affecting the most people, he follows the yellow mist.
Daylight Dimmer arrives into a forest and gets onto the ground, he saw Hathor in front of him, she was glaring,
"I've grown tired of you! You have gotten on my nerves long enough!" Hathor said angrily,
"Short temper is a weakness." Daylight Dimmer replied, Hathor growled at him,
"The more emotional you are, the easier you are to manipulate." Daylight Dimmer said, Hathor growled at him even more,
"How does it feel to be the only female on the team?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"I hate it! Those two don't understand my way of thinking!" Hathor replied angrily,
"How about being the youngest?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"I hate that too, I'm the one who's picked on the most!" Hathor replied angrily, Daylight Dimmer had dark green auras around his hooves,
"If you wish to stop being picked on by your brothers, then defeat me in combat." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Fine, it'll make domination easier, too, and then we'll be able to travel to other lands and destroy them." Hathor asked,
"What are you going to do after everyone's dead and all lands are conquered?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"I will have every animal under my command." Hathor replied,
"Alright, but you have to take me down first." Daylight Dimmer said, and Hathor summons her six claws and gets ready to battle him.
Hathor moves around as fast as Rainbow Dash can fly, Daylight Dimmer closes his eyes and watches her in his mind, he sees her appear in front of him and he makes the dark green shield appear around him to shield the attack,
"What?! Impossible! I'm moving as fast as Rainbow Dash can fly!" Hathor said,
"It's still not fast enough to strike me." Daylight Dimmer replied, Hathor growled and she jumped back,
Hathor uses Applejack's strength and kicks a tree with her right foot, it made the pinecones fall, Daylight Dimmer stepped back one step and it all missed.
Hathor was shocked, she shoots the butterflies, diamonds, and apples towards him, Daylight Dimmer makes a dark green staff appear and he spins it around to deflect them all, they disappear after engulfing into yellow flames.
Hathor exclaims with anger and she jumps from tree to tree while shooting small yellow energy beams at him, Daylight Dimmer makes a dark green bow and quiver with arrows appear on him, he had unlimited arrows, he shoots the yellow beams and they canceled each other out, he tried to hit Hathor in the process, but she was too fast, she laughs and it messed him up, he makes his entire body turn dark green when she tries to shoot the beams at him, they extinguished upon touching him.
Hathor growls at seeing none of her moves work, she jumps off of the tree and gets ready to slash her six bladed claws into his front legs, Daylight Dimmer changes his body back to normal and makes a dark green spear appear in his front right hoof, he holds it up when Hathor was about to slash him.
Hathor screams in pain and Daylight Dimmer heard a noise that sounded like glass shattering, he looks and sees something coming down, he looks and notices that it was Hathor's right arm, the bladed claws go into the ground, Daylight Dimmer realizes that he has severed her arm, it was still glowing yellow and glass shards fell off of it, there was no liquid of any kind in it. He hears whimpering behind him and looks, Hathor was on her knees and holding the stump of her arm with her left hand, he makes the spear disappear and he walks to her, she looks back and sees him,
"No, no, please, I give up, just stop." Hathor said,
"Is that really all the powers you have?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Yes, it is." Hathor replied, Daylight Dimmer summons his two swords, Hathor turns around, falls onto her legs, and holds her left hand out,
"No, please, Himeros, Eros, save me." Hathor said while begging,
"No." Himeros said from behind Hathor, she and Daylight Dimmer look, they see him walking forward with Eros to his right,
"Since you have revealed our plans to him earlier, and refuse to train to get stronger, I have no reason to help you." Himeros said,
"What?!" Hathor asked with shock,
"Mouth is the origin of disaster." Daylight Dimmer said,
"See, there you have it right there, Hathor, since you wouldn't stop running your mouth, and revealed things you weren't supposed to, we are not going to help you." Eros said,
"Like Eros, I too, have grown tired of your ramblings and weakness." Himeros said,
"Come on, I'm your sister." Hathor said,
"That doesn't excuse your mistakes." Eros replied, Hathor then turned to Daylight Dimmer,
"Can I join you, please?" Hathor asked,
"No, you were offered a chance at redemption and rejected it, there are no second chances." Daylight Dimmer said,
"You really messed up this time, you always were a fool, Hathor, and I've grown tired of your foolishness, you're on your own now." Himeros said,
"Please, take me to Demonicus so I can learn, and not be a fool anymore." Hathor said, Daylight Dimmer stabs the sword in his front right hoof into the back of her neck and she screams,
"A fool is only cured by dying." Daylight Dimmer said, and he puts his anger and hatred into Hathor, she screams in agony and fades into yellow mist and she and her arm disappear completely, killing her. Yellow mist goes back into the land and those Hathor killed were revived, and those whose lifespans she absorbed returned to their rightful owners,
"Farewell, little sister." Himeros said, Daylight Dimmer gets ready to fight him and Eros,
"We'll deal with you another time." Eros said, and they disappear, the mists disappear as well, Daylight Dimmer realizes that they have stopped absorbing for now and went into hiding, so Daylight Dimmer went to the cave.
Demonicus, Daylight Dimmer, and Starburn were all having a meal and watching a flashback in the water with Princess Celestia and Demonicus dueling with wooden swords, Princess Celestia was getting angry at the fact that Demonicus was deflecting and blocking all of her attacks, he eventually uses his wooden sword to undo the white bandages wrapped around Princess Celestia's abdomen. Princess Celestia's abdomen was exposed and she was worried, they hear a boing sound and Princess Celestia's stomach sticks out, revealing a pot belly. Daylight Dimmer and Starburn laugh at the fact that Princess Celestia used to be overweight, she was completely embarrassed, and her face was all red. Princess Luna and Star Swirl the Bearded were watching them, Star Swirl the Bearded had a shocked face while Princess Luna was laughing, her mane was light blue in the past. Daylight Dimmer and Starburn keep laughing,
"See that, you two, that's why I have you two on this strict exercise and diet regime, Celestia had a mostly cake and pancake only diet, with the only healthy thing in her diet being fruits, it took her a long time to lose all the weight." Demonicus said, the two stop laughing loudly and chuckle at the sight, still finding the fact funny.
Six months pass and the Friendship Absorbers have still not appeared, Daylight Dimmer did several jobs for Demonicus, Starburn was also trained enough to protect Equestria as well, the two tracked down whatever threats were threatening the ponies and took their lives, it was usually wildlife, but they spared the animal if it had children or was a youngling itself, it was one of the first things Demonicus taught them about dangerous wildlife that threaten the citizens. Daylight Dimmer and Starburn often stayed in the shadows, and shot the beasts in the back of the head with arrows made from their hatreds and angers, Starburn's aura was a light red-orange.
Daylight Dimmer and Starburn were in the cave and Demonicus goes to them,
"Daylight Dimmer, you have a letter from Doctor Whooves, he wants to see you in Ponyville." Demonicus said,
"Who is he?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Well, let's just say he's a man who has seen it all, he's older than me and Celestia." Demonicus replied, Daylight Dimmer and Starburn were shocked,
"Well, go on, Daylight, don't keep him waiting, he has his address on here too." Demonicus said, Daylight Dimmer sees it and he heads onwards to Ponyville to go see Doctor Whooves.
Doctor Whooves and Daylight Dimmer sat across from one another,
"Then you tracked down the address and that's how you got here." Doctor Whooves said,
"Yup." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Have you found the other two Friendship Absorbers yet?" Doctor Whooves asked,
"No, but I do have a target Demnoicus gave me." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"And who would that be?" Doctor Whooves asked,
"Queen Chrysalis." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Alright, but one thing, since you operate in the shadows, I think that's cowardly, and I think you're weak, I want you to prove me wrong by beating Chrysalis in a direct fight." Doctor Whooves said,
"Very well, but I expect payment if I win." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"A hundred bits." Doctor Whooves said,
"Deal, all of this killing from the shadows has been making me bored recently, anyway." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Alright, good luck, and you don't have to pay since I'm the one who tracked you down." Doctor Whooves said,
"Alright, thanks." Daylight Dimmer replied, and he leaves the house and goes to track down Queen Chrysalis.
Queen Chrysalis was walking around in a forest all by herself and she sees Daylight Dimmer approaching her,
"Who dares approach the queen of the changelings?" Queen Chrysalis asked,
"My name is Daylight Dimmer." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Wait, Daylight Dimmer? I know you, you're the one who fought the Friendship Absorbers." Queen Chrysalis said,
"Killed one, Hathor." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Oh, so that's what happened, I've always wondered why the yellow mist disappeared." Queen Chrysalis said, Daylight Dimmer summons two dark green swords,
"What are you doing?" Queen Chrysalis asked,
"For the safety and protection of Equestria, you have to die." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"What? Why?" Queen Chrysalis asked,
"You have attacked us again, and again, and again, and you rejected forgiveness and friendship, some of us have grown tired of your attacks." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Even before I invaded, my changeling minions have been diminishing." Queen Chrysalis said,
"I probably killed some of them." Daylight Dimmer replied, Queen Chrysalis becomes shocked,
"So you're the one who has been making my changelings go missing!" Queen Chrysalis said angrily, Daylight Dimmer was ready to fight,
"You made my invasion of Canterlot harder than it had to be, you will die for your interference!" Queen Chrysalis said angrily,
"I'm ready for that, the question is, are you?" Daylight Dimmer asked, Queen Chrysalis growls and the two were ready to fight.
Queen Chrysalis shoots a green blast from her horn and Daylight Dimmer jumps onto a tree branch to dodge it, he jumps down and tries to slash Chrysalis' horn horizontally with the sword in his front left hoof to sever it. Queen Chrysalis moves her head around to dodge the attack aimed at her horn. She shoots Daylight Dimmer away with another blast, he gets hit and is shot back, he does a backflip in midair and lands on his hind hooves.
Daylight Dimmer jumps in the air and aims his swords at Queen Chrysalis' horn, she shoots another green blast at him. Daylight Dimmer makes his entire body turn dark green and Queen Chrysalis' attacks become ineffective, she becomes shocked and then growls as she fires more green beams at him, they were ineffective on him.
Queen Chrysalis changes to Cadence and shoots a beam of love at Daylight Dimmer grunts and he changes back to normal, he sees that Queen Chrysalis used love to counter his hate.
Daylight Dimmer focuses and sees Queen Chrysalis shoot another beam of love, he jumps over it and changes his swords to a bow and arrows, he shoots Queen Chrysalis in the horn with an arrow, she screams while the dark green arrow burns her and it disappears shortly afterwards, Queen Chrysalis changed back to normal.
Queen Chrysalis growls and shoots a big green blast while screaming with rage, Daylight Dimmer quickly makes his bow and arrow and disappear and shoots a dark green blast out of his front hooves, it was the same size as Queen Chrysalis' blast, and the two enter a deadlock.
Ending A
Queen Chrysalis focuses on her blast and it overpowers Daylight Dimmer, he is shot back and falls onto the ground, Queen Chrysalis walks to him and he had no energy left to get up. Queen Chrysalis shoots him in the face with a green beam while he just glares at her and accepted his fate, he loses his life and Queen Chrysalis laughs since she has claimed victory.
Doctor Whooves was watching through one of his devices and saw that Daylight Dimmer has lost his life, Doctor Whooves sighs and shakes his head,
"I knew you wouldn't win in a direct fight." Doctor Whooves said, and he walked back to his office and waited for his next patient.
Demonicus was watching through the water's reflection and was not surprised,
"So you lost after all. Starburn." Demonicus said, Starburn walks to him,
"Yes, Master." Starburn said,
"Your uncle has lost his life, remember, I said it could happen to you and him anytime, it's now your turn to go after Chrysalis, use the anger you have because of your uncle's death, and your hatred of Chrysalis for taking his life, to combat her, now go, take her out before she can recover, and if you can, kill her from her blind spot or behind with one hit. Recover your uncle's body as well, we'll bury him and pay him our respects if you win." Demonicus replied, Starburn nods and he leaves to go fight Queen Chrysalis.
Ending B
Daylight Dimmer gives into his anger and hatred of his foalhood and any mean ponies he encountered while doing his jobs for Demonicus. Daylight Dimmer overpowers Queen Chrysalis and she is hit. Queen Chrysalis screams as she flies back from the blast, she tries to move but cannot,
"Wait, this feeling. No! Hatred! The one thing that is poisonous to a changeling!" Queen Chrysalis said with shock, she screams in pain from the hatred that just hit her. Daylight Dimmer walks to her and she looks at him with a worried face, he makes his two dark green swords appear and he slashes her neck with a horizontal slash going from left to right with both swords and Queen Chrysalis screams.
Daylight Dimmer went back to Ponyville the next day and Doctor Whooves paid him a hundred bits the next day, happy that Daylight Dimmer proved him wrong. He was about to walk out of the town but he saw Thorax fly into Ponyville and he ran to the School of Friendship, Daylight Dimmer decided to follow him.
Thorax goes to Twilight Sparkle's office, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike were there as well, Daylight Dimmer was outside the office with his left ear on the door,
"Thorax, what are you doing here?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"I need Ocellus to come home now, it's urgent." Thorax replied,
"What's going on?" Starlight Glimmer asked,
"Queen Chrysalis was killed yesterday." Thorax replied, the eight present gasp in shock,
"Where was she found?" Applejack asked,
"In a forest just northeast of our kingdom." Thorax replied,
"Do you have any idea who did it?" Spike asked,
"Not a clue." Thorax replied,
"Well, come on, let's go investigate." Rainbow Dash said,
"I agree, I'll tell the princesses about this." Twilight Sparkle replied,
"No matter what you say, I am not touching the body." Rarity said,
"There is no need to, we can just move it with our magic." Thorax replied,
"There weren't any animals that got hurt, were there?" Fluttershy asked,
"Nope, the animals are fine." Thorax said,
"Alright, and Pinkie, no playing around, this is serious." Twilight Sparkle replied,
"No fun? Okay, I'll just sit and watch." Pinkie Pie said in a sad tone,
"Well, let's go." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they leave the office, Daylight Dimmer stood behind the door to hide from them, it is closed with Twilight Sparkle's telekinesis, he becomes a bit worried and goes to where he and Queen Chrysalis fought.
Daylight Dimmer jumps from tree to tree and sees Queen Chrysalis' body, the nine people from the office were there, along with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Sandbar, and Ocellus. Ocellus was very uncomfortable at seeing Queen Chrysalis' lifeless body, Sandbar came along so he can comfort her, Rarity exclaimed in shock at the sight, and almost fainted,
"I don't understand, who would do such a thing?" Princess Cadence asked,
"Was there anypony suspicious in the Crystal Empire yesterday?" Sandbar asked,
"No, everypony was acting normally." Shining Armor replied,
"Still, who could have done this?" Princess Celestia asked,
"I mean, we were enemies with her, but we would never go as far as to take her life." Princess Luna said, Ocellus senses Queen Chrysalis and becomes uncomfortable,
"What is it, Ocellus?" Sandbar asked,
"Thorax, her body has the same sense as the others." Ocellus said, Thorax feels her and becomes uncomfortable,
"No way, you're right." Thorax replied,
"What's the matter?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Even before we invaded you guys at Canterlot, when we were still enemies with you guys, someone was hunting us down and killing us, this person had the same magic like Princess Cadence, but it was hatred instead of love." Thorax replied, the ponies become shocked,
"Is that bad?" Princess Cadence asked,
"Yes, hate is extremely toxic to a changeling, it paralyzes us and we cannot cast magic, the person who hunted us down took us down with hate, if Thorax and I are right, then Queen Chrysalis was killed by the same person. We stopped being hunted after Queen Chrysalis was overthrown, and we became allies with you guys, but this person might be back to hunt us again." Ocellus replied, the ponies were uncomfortable,
"Well, you two should stay in your kingdom for now, we promise, we will get to the bottom of this and find the culprit, that person is going to the sun, I refuse to have enmity and hate spread throughout the land." Princess Celestia said, she then senses Daylight Dimmer and looks to where she was sensing him, the others look,
"You there, come out." Princess Celestia said, Daylight Dimmer did not move, she shoots a yellow beam of telekinesis at him, he jumps to a different tree and flees, they hear him, but do not see him,
"Who was that?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Who knows, but we got a mystery to solve, we'll let you know what we find." Princess Luna replied,
"Okay, come on, Ocellus, let's head home." Thorax said, and they all leave while the changelings take Queen Chrysalis' body to bury her.
Daylight Dimmer goes to Canterlot the next day and posed as a regular citizen, five days pass and he was at the castle, outside, just standing around, pretending to be a tourist. He hears the double doors to his right open and saw Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Starlight Glimmer, Spike, and, to his surprise, Sunset Shimmer, who was called over to help them investigate Queen Chrysalis' death,
"I don't understand, we haven't found a single unicorn who knows how to use hatred as magic." Rarity said,
"Rarity's right, y'all, this is goin' nowhere so far." Applejack replied,
"I tried asking the animals in the forest for information the other day, all they said was that the blast of hate was dark green." Fluttershy asked,
"Dark green? Do any of you know anypony or changeling with a dark green blast?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Nope, not that I can think of, I don't think I've ever seen a pony with a dark green magic aura." Pinkie Pie replied,
"Me neither, I've never seen a dark green magic aura before, either." Sunset Shimmer said,
"Well, let's focus, we'll have every unicorn use magic to see what color their magic auras are." Shining Armor replied,
"And I'll sense their auras, if there's hatred in their magic, then the love in my magic will be able to find it." Princess Cadence said,
"Well, come on now, let's go see the unicorns use their magic." Princess Luna replied, and they walk past Daylight Dimmer.
Twilight Sparkle stops walking for a minute and runs back to Daylight Dimmer and looks at him,
"What the?" Twilight Sparkle asked as she looked at him, he was stoic and did not move, he was also the same height as the alicorn, completely surprising her,
"What is it, Twi?" Applejack asked as she and the others went to her and looked at Daylight Dimmer, surprising the others,
"Whoa, he looks like a male version of you, Twilight." Rainbow Dash said,
"I know, I'm surprised to see this, too, but his mane, tail, coat, and eyes are all complimentary colors to my own, even the two streaks in his mane and tail are the opposite colors of the streaks in mine." Twilight Sparkle said,
"What a coincidence!" Pinkie Pie replied,
"Excuse me, but are your mane and tail dyed?" Fluttershy asked, Daylight Dimmer shook his head,
"I'm Twilight Sparkle, this is Rainbow Dash, this is Rarity, this is Pinkie Pie, this is Applejack, this is Fluttershy, that's Spike, that's Starlight Glimmer, that's Sunset Shimmer, this is Shining Armor, my brother, this is Princess Cadence, that's Princess Celestia, and that's Princess Luna." Twilight Sparkle said, Daylight Dimmer just watched stoically and did not respond,
"Well, what's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked,
"Daylight Dimmer." Daylight Dimmer replied, Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer were surprised,
"Wow, even his name rhymes with mine and Sunset's." Starlight Glimmer said,
"Well, that's enough now, let's continue with our investigation." Princess Celestia said, and they get ready to leave.
They walk away and Daylight Dimmer waits for only Sunset Shimmer to be out,
"Sunset Shimmer?" Daylight Dimmer asked, she looks at him and goes to him,
"Yes, Daylight Dimmer?" Sunset Shimmer asked,
"Has Celestia failed you, too?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Well, initially, yes, I thought Princess Celestia was a bad teacher, but she and I had made amends, after I met Princess Twilight, I realized I was wrong, and asked for forgiveness from Princess Celestia." Sunset Shimmer replied,
"I see." Daylight Dimmer said in a somewhat stoic and sad tone, a tear rolled down his right eye,
"What's wrong, Daylight?" Sunset Shimmer asked,
"Celestia has failed me completely." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"What do you mean?" Sunset Shimmer asked,
"When Celestia was accepting somepony to be her protégé, I wanted to be her student, it was so I could get away from my life, a lazy father who doesn't do anything and was mean to everypony, a mother who cared more about running a farm than her own family, both of my parents were materialistic, an older sister who left home to become a career thief, and a foalsitter who would eventually become my brother-in-law, who neglected me and was only sitting me to get close to my sister, he only married her for her physical appearance, while my sister only married him for his money. I was bullied in school too, I had no friends, the lowest grade on every assignment in every subject, and the poorest student in the class, I was picked on all the time, and was the only pony who didn't do extracurricular activities. The teachers cared more about getting paid than teaching us, a lot of the information they taught us was false, especially in history class. When I heard Celestia was looking for a protégé, I thought it was my chance to leave that life behind and go somewhere happier, but my parents refused, but that didn't send me over the edge, what sent me over the edge was she was only accepting unicorns, and as you can see, I'm an earth pony, so even if my parents did agree, Celestia wouldn't take me in anyway, I got mad and destroyed my home, and then my parents disowned me." Daylight Dimmer explained, keeping himself stoic and prevented himself from crying, even though looking back hurt him a lot on the inside,
"Oh, I am so sorry." Sunset Shimmer said, very sad about it as well, she asks "Did you find a new home?", Daylight Dimmer nodded,
"Yes, I got adopted by a unicorn, I think four months after that, you became Celestia's protégé." Daylight Dimmer replied, Sunset Shimmer was very surprised,
"How old were you at that time?" Sunset Shimmer asked,
"I was a teenager." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Oh my god, you're older than me." Sunset Shimmer said,
"Many years later, my sister and foalsitter had a baby by accident, they showed me and my parents, they got mad and called it an abomination, the only reason why they brought was so that one of us would adopt it so they would not have to take care of it, so I took it and gave it to the unicorn who adopted me, he and I raised him together." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"How is he?" Sunset Shimmer asked,
"He's happy with his life." Daylight Dimmer said, Sunset Shimmer smiled,
"I was going to tell Twilight Sparkle, but I thought that I should tell you instead because I thought you would be able to understand me better since you and Celestia had a falling out while Twilight Sparkle never did, well, she did, but not as big as the one you and Celestia had." Daylight Dimmer said,
"I see, we did reconcile recently, though." Sunset Shimmer replied,
"I see, well, I have one more thing to say, lean forward, this might make you laugh." Daylight Dimmer said, Sunset Shimmer leans forward,
"Celestia had a pot belly when she was younger." Daylight Dimmer whispered, Sunset Shimmer chuckled a bit and then burst out laughing,
"Princess Celestia used to be overweight? I can totally see that, I mean, all her diet consisted of was cake, pancakes with syrup, and fruits, and she ate cakes the most, and drank nothing but tea, oh, this is too good." Sunset Shimmer said,
"Well, that's all I had to say, sorry for taking up your time." Daylight Dimmer said,
"It's alright, stay safe, Daylight." Sunset Shimmer replied, and they hugged one another and Sunset Shimmer ran to her friends.
Daylight Dimmer continues to stand outside and was pretending to be a normal citizen, it was night time and the ponies and dragon he saw earlier already went home. He hears walking and he ignores it,
"Daylight Dimmer." Princess Celestia said, he becomes surprised and looks at her,
"I couldn't help but listen to what you said to Sunset Shimmer this afternoon, I want to have several words with you." Princess Celestia said,
"You heard what I said?" Daylight Dimmer asked,
"Yes, I have excellent hearing." Princess Celestia replied,
"Oh." Daylight Dimmer said,
"Daylight Dimmer, my reason for accepting a protégé wasn't so a pony can escape their old life to go to a happier one, it was so unicorns with naturally strong magic can learn how to use it and control it with the powers of love and friendship." Princess Celestia said,
"You're still a failure to me, and not just because you wouldn't have accepted me." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"What makes you see me in such a way?" Princess Celestia asked,
"The threats you gotten rid of in the past came back again in the present, you banished Nightmare Moon, she came back, you imprisoned Discord, he broke out, you fought Chrysalis and lost, you couldn't save the Crystal Empire from Sombra's curse, he came back too, you and Luna imprisoned Tirek, he broke out, Chrysalis came back again and you and your family and friends got captured, the pony of Shadows came back and you didn't do anything, and you were turned to stone while talking to Luna instead of trying to dodge the obsidian orb, and lastly, when these things happen, you're not doing anything to help, you're just standing back and watching most of the time." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"Daylight Dimmer, you must understand, I don't wield the Elements of Harmony anymore, I can't defeat them today because of that reason." Princess Celestia said,
"You can still try to do something to help though." Daylight Dimmer replied,
"For example?" Princess Celestia asked,
"Evacuate the citizens." Daylight Dimmer replied, Princess Celestia was stunned, she has never thought of that,
"I see, and Daylight Dimmer, suppress it all you want, I can sense the hatred and anger in you at your family and bullies." Princess Celestia said, Daylight Dimmer looked down, Princess Celestia lifts Daylight Dimmer's chin up with her front right hoof,
"Daylight Dimmer, I'm sorry I let you down, and I couldn't accept you as a protégé, I'm also sorry that I didn't learn about your old life sooner, I would've sent Cadence to spread love there if I did. Learning that you wanted to be my pupil but couldn't because you aren't a unicorn actually really hurt my feelings as well, but I am still willing to try to help you, if you have something on your mind or need advice, the door to my throne room is always open, I promise I'll try to help you in any way I can." Princess Celestia said, Daylight Dimmer felt tears roll down his eyes because Princess Celestia has finally reached out to him,
"There, there, Daylight Dimmer, let it out." Princess Celestia said, Daylight Dimmer felt the tears roll down his eyes, but he did not cry,
"If you have the time, you should spend time with Twilight Sparkle, she is the Princess of Friendship, you should go to Ponyville and you two should get to know each other." Princess Celestia said, Daylight Dimmer was silent and thought about it,
"It's time for me to rest, stay safe, Daylight Dimmer." Princess Celestia said, she hugged him and went into the castle.
Daylight Dimmer wiped his tears away and looked around, it was quiet, he then saw orange and red mists appear, he realized that the two remaining Friendship Absorbers have resurfaced, he was contacted telepathically,
"They finally returned, now go, Daylight, seek them out and destroy them, as long as they're still around, friendship and hatred must be balanced, when they are destroyed, then we can let friendship spread, now go and destroy them." Demonicus said, and he ends the contact. Daylight Dimmer jumps off of the castle and runs north to where the mists were going and where the full moon was at, he heads into the night to go hunt down and kill Himeros and Eros.
