I spent a few hours in the Everfree just flying and improving my flying as well as practicing stunts like the suicide dive. In actuality, I was doing this to get my mind going because, like pacing, it helps me think. Was it worth running away? Was it worth killing the diamond dogs? Can I ever stop myself from going on another genocide? It was all I could think of and I didn’t get any answers.
I sighed knowing that I would have to face the music at some point, so why not face it then. It was inevitable as they might Sind a search party out for me so that I would face my crimes and settle the oath I made months back. I felt guilty and running from it would get me nowhere unless I did that.
With my mind made up, I marched into the town with my wings outstretched and standing tall, awaiting anything to come my way. Unfortunately or fortunately, the town was empty or was hiding from me like what they did with Zacora in the first season.
I threw that out the window after hearing chatter in the town square which caused me to question what my demon half was capable of in my body. I saw everyone in the town square with worried looks that told me they were terrified, and at the front was Twilight and Sierra at the front of the crowd giving orders.
I inhaled deeply to calm my nerves that struck my body with fear. It worked simply as I rounded the corner into the square where everyone’s eyes switched to me immediately which made my timid nature come back a little, but I still stood tall.
All my fears were put to rest once I got tackle hugged by both Twilight and Sierra as they nuzzled my chest. It was short lived when Sierra bitch slapped me hard enough to leave a mark on my left cheek.
“Don’t ever do that again! We were all worried sick!” Sierra scolded with tears running down her face. I felt sorry because I didn’t want to worry them, but I thought the worst.
“I thought everyone would run me out of town or Princess Celestia holding true on my oath that I made months back.” I responded with my head held low as I embraced the two. “I’m so sorry.”
“Some of the citizens of Ponyville wanted to, but they gave up after remembering that you lost yourself to rage. They even beat you until near death. Even so, you never broke your oath. They were all Equestria’s most wanted.” Twilight said as I noticed the wet fur on her cheeks and immediately knew she was crying for some time.
“Well this time, I’m not going anywhere.” I held both of them close as the apologies came to an end and everything was cleared up.
I heard two thumps behind me before I was hugged from behind and bat like wings wrapping around me comfortingly as I knew it was Night Wing.
“I heard what happened. I’m here to help you.” Night said muffled by my back.
“Too late.” I remarked with a small smile as I felt her cheeks puff up.
“Damn you.” Night removed herself from my back with a small blush she was always the one to do stuff like this in public, but is immediately embarrassed afterwards.
I turned to her and extended my wings to their full length which grew from the last time I wrote down their length. They were about ten feet each now and had some of my black and red magic aura flowing around by my magic veins (as I call them because it’s actually magical flow through the wings to regulate the magic in the limbs) showing how much magic I have as it was far more than anything they’ve ever seen.
“Y-you have wing.” Night and Blood whispered in shock. “Are you half thestral? Because of your wings.” I had to complement their bond as they were in perfect sync.
“Actually, I’m half demon.” I responded before hearing a gasp behind me. I glared at the town behind me and said, “You shouldn’t be so shocked as I know some of you should have guessed. Hell, some of y’all are half or full demon yourselves.”
Vinyl made her way to me with a smile before she stopped in front of me as she took of her glasses revealing her slitted demon eyes before her horn glowed and she revealed her demonic wings that’s didn’t show the magic flow threw it like mine.
“V-Vinyl?” I heard Octavia ask with a shaky tone.
“Sorry Tavi, but this is who I am and if Blacklight can reveal himself, so can I.” Vinyl said confidently with her smile never wavering at all. I smiled as she wasn’t alone sense I was here.
“Ya, demons aren’t always evil, proven with me.” I added the last part under my breath.
Octavia trotted up to Vinyl before stopping in front of her with shadows covering her eye. Octavia embarrassed Vinyl with a strong hug that definitely took the air out of her.
I lifted my hand, showing off the new arm that somehow grew back and my phantom blade adjusted to my new appendage. I activated the blade, making some of them jump, and admiring the design of the blade. I flicked my wrist back and it retracted with a *shink*.
I look over my shoulder seeing Twilight with Night Wing, whispering in her ear which must have been embarrassing or really lude.
You need to get me quickly. Andromeda commanded threw our mental link which surprised me because I usually have to be holding on to her.
I brushed it off before using some of my magic to summon her with a dark energy forming the length of the blade before it molded into the shape of the blade. Turning solid, all defining features became visible. It floated above my hand before falling into my palm as I caught it with ease. I did the same with the sheath as it formed on my back and I slid Andromeda into the sheath with little resistance.
I looked at the two guards behind me that had dropped jaws. “What? Never seen my sword.” I asked with a smirk as they were in total awe as my sword was near the border of scraping on the ground.
Blood shook himself out of his stupor and handed me a golden ticket before doing the same with the element bearers. I knew why he did this as my eyes widened because the season one finally ‘The Best Night Ever’ came to mind. I knew that I would have to tell the mane 6 later as they knew me pretty well and understanding that my memories were locked away until that day.
It actually today just a few hours later... don’t judge me I’m not too smart.
A few days passed as I stood in front of the Carousel Boutique for a while before knocking on the door. I heard a scuffle inside letting me know I caught Rarity off guard.
“Coming!” She yelled from inside. I smiled as I heard a few things get lifted by magic as it was the only logical reason for the sound of magic.
The door opened to reveal a wild Rarity with a smile on her face... Damn right I made a Pokémon reference. I don’t care if no pony got it.
“Oh, Blacklight! Nice to see you again. Are you here for an order?” She guessed one the money which made me question if they were great at guessing or omniscient to a certain extent.
“Sadly, yes. I wish to get a suit made for The Grand Galloping Gala. I also have to tell you something.” I said with a sigh knowing I had to do this now.
“Okay you can tell me while we’re getting your measurements.” She leads me inside where I first got my new clothing here as memories flooded my mind. I smiled at the fond memories and realized how far I’ve come since I first came here.
“Alright What did you want to tell me?” I took of my clothes so she could get an accurate representation of what she needed to make.
“Well, first is some colors for the suit. If’s it’s alright with you, can you make a orange button up shirt and a blue tie please.” She nodded as orange and blue go together and black goes with everything.
“If I may stop you there, why are you going to the gala. Hasn’t anyone told you that it isn’t as you expect.” I knew all to well.
“I know all to well, but if anything wants to ruin it, I’ll beat the S.O.B. until they can’t stand anymore. Which brings to my next point, recently I had some memories come back and it was something... do you know of the multiverse theory?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Well... fuck it, I’m from a place where your world is a show on my planet that has been made eighteen years ago.” She paused as she finished getting my measurements looking at me in awe showing that she was more than amazed.
“R-really, I doubt I’m even apart of the... show as you call it.” She shied away as she didn’t want to get her hopes up.
“Actually, your one of the main characters as well as the rest of the elements.”
“I’m... I’m famous on your world.” She looked like she had tears in her eyes.
“Damn right and you have a huge fan base that do tons of things that include you and your friends.”
“This is... this is uncanny! Amazing! Marvelous!” She opened her eyes before gaining a glare directed towards me. “And how do you know?” I began sweating bullets when she asked.
“I may have watched every season of it. And we may or my not be in the second season out of the seven I know about. As well as it my be considered a little girls show and I may have just checked it out and got roped into it.” She facehooved as she was not expecting what I said.
“Your hopeless and less manly than I thought.”
“If you want me to be honest, it was the horror fanfics that got me into the series.” I shamelessly admitted. I read ‘Cupcakes’, ‘Rainbow Factory’, and ‘Silent Ponyville’. All great in my opinion. Rarity face hoofed with an expression of ‘I knew it’.
“That makes more sense now.” She was smiling a little as she knew my infamous fearlessness when it came to horror in Equestria. That horror is just plain crap as it was hardly even scary.
I playfully gasped in mock hurt before saying, “Rarity, have I become to predictable in your eyes.” She chuckled softly and nodded in conformation as I had a counter argument. “Well, I just became more unpredictable with that rage spike. Still don’t know what happened.” She gulped in fear as it made me think it was bad.
“So, What are you planning for the gala?” She began making the suit and I would be uncomfortable in this as it would be the first time I would be in a nice suit and tie.
“Sing some songs to entertain the crowd and Play a few songs on my instruments or a piano if there’s one there.” I was kind of excited for the last one, but the guest are about to see a hole new Blacklight in there. “Word of warning, my past self is a far cry from how I am now. Hell, it was a far cry from how I was when I first came to Equus.”
“Thanks for the word of warning.” I was surprised to see that she had most of the suit done already. I smiled as I gripped my necklace and a small tear followed afterwards.
I felt my hands be pried open with magic before my necklace was carefully lifted over my head and it paused in front of Rarity. She looked over it with a scrutinizing glare as I knew it didn’t look as good as most in Equestria, but it had sentimental value.
“If I may ask,” Rarity began, “What is this ghastly necklace you have and what are all these names on it.”
“It was a gift from my mom and all those names are from my family, my brothers, sisters, mom, and dad. I interpret as music is close to my heart and all those names are the people who supported me to achieve my dreams.” I let tears fall freely from my face as memories of my family ran through my mind.
She covered her mouth with her right hoof as tears fell from her eyes. I wiped my eyes as she went to the back to get the fabric for the orange button up shirt and probably fix her ruined makeup.
“SON OF A BITCH!!!” I heard Rarity yell in frustration after forty-five minutes in the back room. She walked back out with a lavender fabric in her magic that I liked, mostly because of Twilight. “That was highly un lady like of me.” Rarity then Noticed me still in the same spot. “Sorry, Blacklight, but I couldn’t find orange. Fortunately, this lavenderblends with blue perfectly, don’t you think.”
“Agreed. I got my sister’s room after my stepbrother moved out. I painted the door frame dark blue and it looked great. Now that I think of it, this might blind with black as well.” I responded with a fond look on my face. It was replaced with a look of sadness before it disappeared in less than a second.
“Well, I’ll leave you to your piece.” I left into the busy streets of Ponyville. I was prepared for how everyone else would react.
Six days have passed and I told everypony what I told Rarity, but they had different reactions. Rainbow Dash was exhilarated and animated as she did a sonic rainboom out of excitement. I tried to do one too, but ended up going mock three which I can thank my demon strength as it made me faster as a runner and flyer. Fluttershy asked what the fans of her liked her for, so I responded with that she was extremely cute causing her to blush. Applejack was just shocked into passing out. Pinkie Pie was extremely happy and wanted to throw them a particularly, but I told her that she would have to wait for another magical accident. Twilight was completely surprised that we were in the middle of the second season and asked me about the future. Sierra asked if she was in the show which I sadly answered no, but I promised that this was not the same as the show as the fans never new about the Khajiit until the newest movie.
Although, before I left Sugar Cube Corner, I asked Pinkie Pie for dance lessons so I was prepared for the gala. She was ecstatic for me to ask.
I was flying through the Everfree Forest with no real direction as I processed what I just wrote down. It didn’t take long for a scream to echo through the forest and take my attention in an instant. I wasn’t no time in flying to the location where I found a couple dead changelings and a hydra.
I hit the ground with a boom as the ground cratered and cracks ran from my location. The hydra smiled as it thought it found a better meal as it gazed at me with hunger, but it didn’t faze me in the slittiest. I used my speed and strength to send the hydra into a mountain, showing it that I was the apex predator here. Once again, thanks demon strength. Suffice to say, it backed down swiftly, leaving only footsteps.
I walked to the dead changeling duo that were battered and beaten, but a movement caught my attention from under the obvious female. I rolled over the mare to find a changeling foal that looked extremely young. It was around the age of two and had no idea what happened as it looked around.
I felt extremely sorry for the young changeling as it stared at me. I picked it up carried it to the town with little protest from the foal. Halfway through the walk, the foal fell asleep and I flew to escape any dangerous creature that may have been lurking near us.
I landed in the town with little resistance from any weather or Pegasi because I’m pretty sure that changelings are the most hated creature in all of Equus. I didn’t care as it was just a foal that had no idea what was going on.
“Yo, Blacklight, where did you go?” Rainbow Dash asked as I was near the library.
“Go get the others and tell them to go to the library. I’ll tell you then.” I responded while keeping the young changeling covered in my arms.
I sat in front of the mane six with the foal in my arms and a small smile on my face as I remembered when my cousins were this small. Well, the twins that turned four this summer.
“So, what y’all have in your arms?” Applejack asked with a slight smile.
The moment of truth was upon us as I revealed the changeling foal that I was cradling. Multiple faces of shock and disgust spread around the room, except for Twilight as she had a small smile before she cooed ‘D’aww’ at the small foal.
“Blacklight! That thing is evil! Get rid of it!” Rarity yell causing me to cover the foal’s ears as she emphasized thing.
“No.” I said simply as many complaints spread through the room as the foal began to cry. I finally had enough from the other five, four as Fluttershy was playing with the foal trying to calm it down with Twilight. “Stop! I saved it from a hydra after it parents died protecting it! So shut up!” I yelled louder at the end causing the foal to cry louder. I began to sing a lullaby to calm it down so it would be happy.
After I finished, I glared at the other four that were standing in shock at how I just defended an abomination in their eyes. I had my mom’s glare which promised death to anyone that did wrong.
Sierra entered the room with a scared expression as I just did my version of the STARE on her. The same with the four that were cowering in a corner and trembling.
“I hope your proud of your selves for make a foal cry you self centered motherfuckers.” I whispered loudly to not wake the foal that was still in my arms.
I went to my room and laid the foal in my bed and began to write in my journal which I will finish up soon. I think I entered parenthood too soon, but it will be great practice and technically I am an adult here with more magic than any of the princess combined so the magic surge part of a unicorn’s life should be easy... hopefully.
Finally, the day has come for the Grand Galloping Gala to began to go into full swing. That’s what I could tell from Ponyville as I saw some fire works explode in midair to signal that the gala was about to begin. Unfortunately, I was waiting for the girls to get into their dresses, but I couldn’t complain as I made sure I was presentable enough before I put on a cloak that looked like the one that was destroyed in the caves with the same enchantment as the other to hide my wings.
I attached Andromeda to my back as the girls came out and, not that I’m complaining, wore the same dresses from the last gala. I was blushing as my herd walk toward me.
Most people would stay in their comfort zone and stay away from relationships in Equus, but I was way out of my comfort zone after I killed that first naga. Now, I have no comfort zone and I have an adopted, adorable changeling girl that everyone in town have come to love in the past week.
“You ready?” Sierra asked me as I pulled up my hood over my head to hide my hair. I found out that my hair will change color from jet black to snow white during the winter months as I found out three days ago.
“Hell ya! Let’s do this!” I responded with enthusiasm as we left for the gala. I was happy to head back to Canterlot as well as hoped that Blueblood would be there so I could beat the shit out of him.
I looked at the girls which had knowing smiles on their faces which made me wander what they had planned on the train. They saw me observing them before smile wider to throw me off, but didn’t work as I knew they were hiding something.
The train station was less packed as we waited for our train to take us to our destination. When it pulled in, I saw four familiar generals, a lieutenant, a blacksmith and his wife, and a great naga warrior.
“Holy shit! Long time no see!” I said loudly as they faced me with smiles on their faces.
“Well, I’ll be damned. Nice to see you again, Blacklight.” Morning Rise said with a smile.
“Holy fuck you’ve gotten tall! What happened to the sword I made you?” Iron asked with amazement as he noticed the hilt over my right shoulder.
The train lurched forwards causing me to stumble a little. “This is the sword you made me, just infused with a demon for more power.” I replied before unsheathing Andromeda and propping her up while I still held the hilt.
They marveled at the six foot blade that I wield with one arm. They all looked at me and before they questioned why I had a hood on, I took it off, revealing my white hair.
“To wield this new upgrade to my sword, I had to become half demon, but I also had to become one after I lost an arm.” I sat near them and leaned my head back before closing my eyes. I felt something in my lap and a head resting on my shoulder. I heard a snicker from my side and opened my eyes to see who did so.
“I see that you already formed your herd.” Slitherauna loudly observed with a smirk.
I flipped her off with my right arm to not show her my demonic arm. I smiled evilly to show I didn’t give a fuck.
“What happened to that weapon you bought from me?” Iron’s wife asked as I looked at her directly.
“Here. When I went to the ponies to train with the royal guard and in order for me to get the armor, I had to have a weapon to pretty much upgrade.” I pulled out the Rsh-12 and showed her. “The standard issue M9 Beretta turned into the Rsh-12, the most powerful assault weapon in my world. I know personally that it can blow the head off a diamond dog and, when the bullets are infused with magic, it can tare a manticore in half.”
The naga gawked at the enormous gun in my hands. No words were shared as we went the rest of the way to Canterlot. I just holstered my gun as the rest just continued to stay in stun silence.
When we got to Canterlot the girls broke into song about this one being the best night ever. I enjoyed the song as it lasted, but eventually all eyes were on me.
“What?” I questioned in confusion as I saw everyone just stare.
“It’s your turn.” Twilight said simply and with no hesitation. I looked at the naga to find them with disappointing glares at the ponies.
“You aren’t going to actually going to do it. Right?” Striker asked before I looked at the ponies before them.
“Sorry, but I’m a musician that has loves music of almost all kinds.” I responded with a smile that stretched on my face.
I prepared to sing my version of ‘The Greatest Show’ from the movie called The Greatest Showman. The only thing I changed was show to night because it would fit the song and night is one syllable so it won’t sound weird.
https://m.We finally finished with a huge smile as I did one of the songs i planned on doing. I stood waiting with a huge smile on my face as I enjoyed the music.
“I’m... surprised that you would do that.” Slitherauna said with shock.
“I love music. Humans my not have magic, that we know about, but with hard work and dedication, we made music as good or even better than what the innate magic can do.” I responded with a smile.
The party was in full swing and the occupants of the party were expansive. There were mentors, griffins, naga, khajiit, horses, diamond dogs, dragons, and the lone human... me. Not to mention I was actually the tallest in the room at six foot five, thanks to the great grand parents from my mom’s side that were gentle giants.
I wasted no time in going to the bar for the next song. I looked at the mentor to my side and whispered my plan before he agreed with a smile. We even got the unicorn behind the counter that agreed. We drank for a while so I could get use to the alcohol for the number with a smile on my face the entire time. It wasn’t enough to make me tipsy, but I got use to it.
“You ready human?” The Minotaur asked without glancing at me. Ya, Twilight just told me how to spell Minotaur and this is ink so... yaaaa.
“Hell ya.” I responded silently. “Let’s do this.” The music began as our cues started after the second shot hit the table.
https://m.
We stopped with wide smiles plastered on our faces as the number ended. The Greatest Showman sound track works well in this situation. Plus, it a great movie.
Cheers erupted from the occupants in the room, even the royals cheered from the performance that we preformed.
When it died down, we were asked to do some musicals for their theaters, but I turned them down. They looked sad so I assured them that that wasn’t the last. I didn’t hold back my excitement as I was ready for all the orchestral music that would be soon.
I’m not kidding. I couldn’t stay in one place for long before I began to shake in excitement... then again, I need to be doing something like that to stay focused. Holy shit I figured out why I always daydream. Damn my ADHD. Getting off track.
I found myself walking aimlessly around the room with no clear direction. If they ask if I’ve heard of them, I’m not going to lie and say no. I’m going to be honest like my third favorite pony, Applejack.
I eventually found the seven at a booth somewhere in the dining hall. Hell, I didn’t even know that there were booths in the castle, but I then remember that the guards might eat here. I remembered the mess hall near the guard quarters and just promptly gave up before my brain died.
“What up?” I asked as I grabbed a chair to sit in from an unoccupied table.
“Nothing much, how about you.” Rainbow asked with a bored expression.
“Nothing else, but up dog.” I know the joke is dead, but I want to try it out. Pinkie gets it and holds in her laughter after I give her the look of ‘if you mess this up, I mess you up.’
“What’s up dog?” Her eyes widen in realization as slams her face into the table.
“Nothing much, what up with you?” Pinkie burst out laughing as the others laugh at Dash for getting lured into the play on words.
“I can’t believe I fell for that. Am I really that gullible.” I really wanted to make a friendly insult like what I and some of my old friends would do, but then it would be blown out of proportion. Then I’ll just feel like a dick.
“No, the joke hasn’t been us here, so it isn’t dead.” I explained with a small, cocky smile.
We enjoyed each other’s company for a while before I was called to the stage. I groaned a little in annoyance as I wanted to stay a little longer.
“Okay, see ya later.” I said making it obvious that I really didn’t want to do this... yet.
I went to the stage and looked for the instrument I wanted to play. I found what I was looking for and made my way to it with confidence. I heard laughing as I made my way to the instrument.
“No one is able to play that alone! It’s impossible!” Someone laughed as I sat down.
I smirked as I played every note with accuracy and precision. Each sixth note was swift as I went from the lowest note to the highest note in a chromatic scale. I smiled cockily as I looked at the crowd who were stunned. Fucking love my nimble fingers. I sat down and began to play the song I remembered listening to when I got bored. I have a lot of free time.
https://m.
I played the last note as the ccrowd went wild as I prepared the next song, but I paused for a moment as I search the room for Twilight. I whistled loudly and got the groups attention.
“Twilight, come up here! I need you for this next one!” She seemed surprised as I yelled for here. She came up to the stage and I pulled her up the stage as with my magic. “Are you ready?” I smiled as she did. “Alright here we go!” I began to play as Twilight sang on her cue.
https://m.
Twilight looked amazed at the beautiful song that was just played as the innate magic helped with the song. I gave a huge hug for helping me with this.
“Thanks Twi.” I whispered into her ear. She looked at me and gave an adorable smile as her eyes sparkled.
I smiled more as I searched the room for the orchestra so I could find three cellist. I then find them and pick them up with my magic so they would be here sooner.
When they landed, I immediately noticed Octavia out of the group. One of them was another mare with a pink coat with brown hair and green eyes while the other is a stallion with a gray coat with blue hair and brown eyes. The mare had a cello with a base clef behind the cello for a cutie mark, but the stallion just had a base clef for a cutie mark.
“Octavia and others, are you willing to help with a quartet?” I asked which brought a smile to all their faces.
“I would love to Blacklight.” Octavia agreed happily with a huge smile.
“Same here.” The mare said holding the same smile as well as the stallion.
“It would be an honor.” The stallion said while still holding that smile.
“Okay, this is cello only. So let’s hope the innate magic helps us here.” Octavia and the others left and returned with four cellos and while they stood, I sat down. “Let’s begin.”
https://m.
We ended abruptly as the song ended. I listen to this version of the song so many times that I know every note by heart, but I never knew how to play cello... until now.
The crowd never new that classical instruments could play fast moving, attention grabbing songs. I think that was because they cheered for ten minutes straight which makes me think, where’s Blueblood. I honestly thought he would've shot this down.
“Now.” I had one more song in mind as I stood straight up the address the crowd. “Will the rest of the orchestra join me up here!” The entire orchestra took their seats and waited to play as I shook hand/hoof with the conductor. As I went to take my seat I said, “living the dream.”
“For the next and final song is ‘Star Sky’ from Two Steps To Hell.” He announced while turning to start conducting. I opted for the piano so that I wouldn’t have to take my instrument out of its case an this piece included fast piano parts.
https://m.
I can cross ‘Play in an orchestra’ of my bucket list as this was my dream sense I began with music. I smiled happily as Celestia found her way onto the stage while holding her motherly smile, though, I’m pretty sure that she was just holding back he excitement.
Luna, however, was less contained as she literally tackled me to the ground while speaking so fast I couldn’t understand her. She then understood what this looked like and got of faster than light with a huge blush.
“Ohmygoshthatwasamzinghowdidyoudothatwhencoudyoudothat?! Tell me, tell me, tell me!” Pinkie was beginning to ramble on with one breath which surprised me. I covered her mouth to stop her rambling.
“Easy, Ihavenimblefingersthatallowmetoplaythepianoquicklyandacuritlyandi’vebeenpracticingonthepianoforawhilesoihadthebasicsdownalready.” I responded in the same Pinkie Pie manner. Dropped jaws all around while Pinkie was containing her excitement. “I use to talk like that all the time so I couldn’t be understood for a while.”
“I’ll adres that later. This is supposed to be a joyous occasion.” Celestia said happily while Luna was just barely containing herself. “This gala we offer the title of Knight Of Equestria to one luck.” She paused as the clopping of hooves and clapping of hands filled the room. I was about to step of the stage before I was brought back by a golden aura. “This individual has saved many in his quest to learn about the world. He stopped slavery in the Diamond Dog land in Saddle Arabia, saved a group of naga from being run out of there homes, saved the ponies in Ponyville from Diamond Dog slavers a little west from the town, and most recently saved a changeling foal from a hydra. He didn’t even take his own life into consideration on doing these acts. He lost his life twice in the hospital after being wounded fighting for the naga, he lost his arm after being tortured for a month straight in Saddle Arabia, and was forced to fight in a gladiator arena near Ponyville after a week of non stop torture. He is stronger than any of us and just wants the world to be a better place.” My eyes were wide at this point. For what I read, the last Knight was over a thousand years ago when the two princesses began ruling. “This is why we, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, dub Blacklight Soliare to be the knight of Equestria.”
No one cheered as I fell with a loud thud as I fainted from the shock of it all. It didn’t take long as I was woken up by the two princesses using a bucket of water.
“WHAT!?” I yelled after I remembered the last sentence of what she said. They were taken aback from my yell.
“Do thou not want the title?” Luna asked innocently as I looked up at her. Yup, still on of my favorite ponies.
“Just the shock of it all.” I said while covering my face. “We stopped having knights in my world during... the thirteenth century, I think.”
“Well, you’ll be the first human in eight hundred years to be a knight in your world.” Celestia added which was a great opportunity for me to collect myself.
“Okay, just don’t drop a bombshell on me like that again.” I got up and rubbed my temples in annoyance. I felt something poke me in the back and I turned around to find Cadence there.
“I forgot to ask, but this seems like a good time to say so you don’t have to repeat your self.” Cadence began. “What year is it on your world?”
I smiled ast her as it would have been easier to do this in front of a crowd. “It’s 2018 in my world. Nine centuries more then Equus’s year.” Her. Jaw. Dropped so hard, I could feel it. I could practically feel everyone’s jaw drop at that statement. “Although, while my world has great technological advances, it is no stranger to war, famine, disease, death, and crime. Equus as a hole is a paradise compared to my world.” I honestly can’t believe that I used the four horsemen of the apocalypse for my example.
That got through to the occupants of the room as most of them had shock and pity. I honestly didn’t care and wasn’t paying attention as I just started staring into space. It wasn’t until a few minutes later when I heard someone calling me.
“Blacklight!” Luna yelled with a worried look that was shared by everyone else in the room.
“What?” I asked ignorant to the situation.
“You just started to stare into space and I thought you went full retard.” She had a smirk on her face as I thought, fuck it, I’m dead.
Just like that, I fell on the floor laughing my ass off as most blanched at the princess of the night while Celestia glared at her with silent fury.
“I can’t believe you used my own words against me!” I howled in laughter while trying my best to gain oxygen to the best of my ability.
“What do you mean, ‘my own words’?” Celestia seethed through clinched teeth. I was unfazed by the obvious attempt on looking intimidating as that wasn’t the first time I have gotten that look.
“To clarify, when I wanted to make my friends laugh, I would act a fool of myself. When someone bested me I would always say, ‘damn, I knew I should have gone full retarded,’ or I would use retard to get more laughs from them.” Celestia’s eyes twitched at the admittance of using that word carelessly. “Also, Luna, but I blame my ADHD for that attention spanned. Yah, I looked it up, so suck it.” I use those lay two words to muck on earth and I haven’t used them once here. Man, I’m losing how I was online.
“Such vulgar language, should we wash thy’s mouth with soap.” Luna shot back with an amused smile. I honestly saw Luna as a close friend, so we always made friendly insults to another... but no one else new. What shocked me was when she got close to my ear and whispered seductively, “Or I can take you up on that offer.”
“I never knew you were so adventurous Luna.” I whispered back causing her to blush. She never was good at coming up with a counter insult in this situation. “WIN!!! Hell ya!”
“What happened?” Celestia was confused as I realized that I was still on the stage.
“Fuck!” I facepalmed hard as another sounded beside me. “When I would hangout with Luna, how I acted around my old friends would come up and eventually it was like I was back at earth. If you can insult your friend in their face in my world, they can be trusted.”
“That’s not friendship.” Celestia countered with a mortified expression.
“On my world it is. Hell, most of the time we insult our selves so others can’t use it.” I had a found smile while remaining all this fun times. “Besides, we normally stick to the stuff that isn’t too personal or that pisses them off. As well as they know that we aren’t trying to hurt them as you can’t laugh at others in a playful manner until you can laugh at yourself and your faults.” I then tip my chin in contemplation as I remembered Chris. “Unless your Chris, in which you have an extremely dark sense of humor.”
“Like what?” Luna quirked a brow because I have a pretty dark sense of humor and will laugh at the stupidest of reasons.
If any human somehow reads this, if Twilight fucks up a spell again, I’m about to make a holocaust joke for an example. Although I did laugh, I meant no offense.
“What is the difference between the Jews and the Boy Scouts. One comes home at the end of the day.” Like I said, I laughed full heartedly. I may have Jewish blood in me, but damn my dark sense of humor.
“How is that dark?” Twilight yelled, she got up on the stage. I then explain the holocaust which some look at me in shock. “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!” She turned a lavender shade of green after the explanation.
“Everything!” I spoke loudly in a joking manner with the straightest face that was ever seen.
“Okay, please reframe for making any dark jokes?” Luna pleaded adorably which made me stop. To be honest, Luna was still my favorite pony. Unfortunate for her, my top spot for favorite pony was also shared with two others. One of which was the lavender mare in front of me that was trying to get the holocaust out of her mind.
“So do you want the knightly armor, or what?” Celestia asked which made me look at her questioningly.
“What armor?” I questioned with hollow look that scared the other girls because I would be unpredictable when I did this.
She gulped as I never gave any sign of anything that she could use to determine my next move. Many teachers would prepare for anything when I did this in my schools because I could scare anyone out in the opening or I could do nothing. Ah, the fear of not knowing what was going to happen.
She then looked around the stage to avoid my gaze and look for the armor. She face hoofed after realizing that there was nothing, but her, Luna, Twilight, who was whispering in luna’s ear, and me.
I asked a waiter for some alcohol because I had a bad feeling. Not like getting attacked, but being annoyed by some dick. When Celestia finally figured out that we were the only ones on stage, she smiled sheepishly before summoning an outfit that I knew all to well. I dropped the drink in my hand which was followed by my jaw as my eyes took in every feature.
It was an exact replica of Vargil’s clothing except that the outer part was back and the vest was blue. The light blue lines that intertwined with one another that ran up the coat and of continued around the neck and down the other side like it was a mirror copy of the other. The golden trimming on the inside of the coat and curved a little on the outside. Golden buttons ran down the coat until it scrapped the ground. The two straps on the shoulders and the wrists nearly made me cry from the detail that was put into this. I looked at the pants that were dark green that complemented the blue and black well and somehow the design was copied to a ‘T’. The boots weren’t a dark brown, but a dark gray to not stand out from the black of the out side of the coat. The gloves were like my old ones and seemed to have some protection with plastic knuckle guards that were meant for hand to hand combat. The gloves were not fingerless, however, which means that this was to how I liked my own interpretation of the coat. The coat even had two holes for my wings which surprised me that someone out of Ponyville knows about my wings.
I have my mouth wide open as I inspected the armor of the coat as I noticed that it was also designed to work with my hidden blades as well. I reached out my right hand as I now remembered the cloak that covered my body and hindered my movement a little. I continued with this action before jerking my wrist back as the hidden blade shot out. Gasps echoed through the room as I retracted the blade.
I look at Celestia Before my shocked expression slowly turned into one of pure joy that she was taken aback by. “You are trying so hard to make my gamer dreams come true.” I stated with no hiding my joyous tone. “Give me a SCAR-L and call me Dovakiin and I’ll be a happy gamer.” All dragons took a step back after I said Dovakiin. “Sorry, just the name of a legendary character in a game from my world. Just fiction that inspired many jokes.”
I honestly have no idea what happened after that as I just got drunk. So unfortunately, I have to cut this journal entry short due my stupidity. So I’m basically fucked after that point. Who ever reads this, I’m sorry.
