//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 // Story: T.I.M. of EQUESTRIA // by Winter Eclipse //------------------------------// After the massive info dump that they dropped on me, I just laid there and thought about the changes I would go through with my transformation. What else is going to happen to me I wondered, but I was interrupted by a pair of heavenly lips finding mine. After Luna broke the kiss, I opened my eyes and gazed into hers. "I have said I will never abandon you before and I will never change my mind. You will have me for eternity and nopony else ever will." I gave Luna a smile that showed my gratitude before I looked back to the others. "What else should I expect from this? Will I get bigger? What about my personality, eating habits?" "Nothing should change Tim. You will not get much bigger I believe. The largest Moonlight that I knew of was only a foot taller than me. As far as your personality, it will not change, though you probably will become more protective of us since we are your family." I gave Celestia a long, suffering look. "I was that way before this you know." "Oh, I know, but now, you will be more so since you have the strength and magic to back it up." I froze wide eyed. I HAVE MAGIC NOW!? "M...magic?" "Yes. The Moonlight and Solis or Sunlight dragons possessed magic. How else would they have moved the sun and moon?" "Wait, wait, wait! They moved the sun and moon before the two of you" Twilight breathlessly asked. "Well, yes. You must remember Twilight that dragons are the oldest race on Equis and those two particular races had stewardship over the celestial bodies before they passed it on to ponies" Luna piped in. "So they passed control on to you and Celestia?" "No, Twilight. They passed control to unicorns long before our time. We wasn't born for another five hundred years and it was three hundred more before we accepted our destinies" her mentor answered. I know a evil grin had appeared on my new muzzle because Cadence was looking at me like I was going to eat her. Luna must have noticed her creeped out look and deduced that I was the reason. "What has you smiling like you stole Celestia's last cake?" "I just realized I get to play with your moon now." The look I got would have turned a timberwolf to stone. "Do. Not. Touch. My. MOON!" The worse part was that she punctuated each word with a smack of a wing to the back of my head. Trust me, even with scales, that shit hurt. "Damn woman! Are you trying to give me a concussion? It wasn't as if I would make it dance or do figure eights across the sky. I just thought you would like it if I helped every now and then." The glare I was getting fell off her muzzle and instead, I got that cute little smile that only I could bring out. "I would like that" she replied while nuzzling into my now longer neck. "So, back to the changes I can expect. What kind of magic would I be capable of and my eating habits?" Celestia closed her eyes for a moment before answering. "As far as everyday magic, it shouldn't be any different than a unicorn or one of us, but because of what you are now, you would specialize in ice magic for combat." "That and you would be stronger at night." Luna added. "Well, how strong am I right now?" "About equal to one of us during the day, but as Luna said. During the night you would be significantly stronger." "Ok. What about my eating habits?" "I would think you would be like Spike. You will need to add some gems to round out your diet since your a dragon now." "Twilight is correct. You just need to eat a few gems every other day." I laid there for a few moments thinking about what had happened to me. So far the changes hadn't been a bother, yet, I can't help but feel there are forces behind this and there's a reason I've been granted this new form. "Can someone get a big mirror? I want to see what I look like now." Celestia nodded and lighting up her horn teleported a full body mirror next to her. After I got Luna to release me, I gingerly got out of the bed and stood. Knowing I wasn't use to being on all fours, Luna stayed at my side while I wobbled over to the mirror. "I care not what form you take because it is still you, but I find this form pleasing as well" Luna whispered into my ear sending shivers down my spine. "It's nice to know that you still love me despite my appearance." "Your heart and spirit is what I fell in love with Tim, not your form. A shallow pony I would be if I only loved you for your form." Unable to say anything I just leaned into her and nuzzled her cheek. Finally, after a moment I looked into the mirror and examined myself. The same blueish silver coloration covered my body except for my belly, those scales was a light silver if you could call it that. Two massive wings rested along my sides and well, at least my eyes are still blue though they have slit irises now. Overall I looked like a smaller version of Draco from Dragonheart, just a different color. "This will take some getting use to, but I guess the main question is. Who did this to me?" "I believe I can answer that" a feminine voice answered off the the side. When we all looked, a pure white alicorn was standing there smiling. No one said anything till Celestia spoke up. "Harmony? Your responsible for this?"
