Sanies closed his eyes and focused on the unconscious pony lying before him. He could see things like cherished memories of the pony's family, his fillyfriend, even his toilet! Things that absolutely disgusted Sanies (except for the toilet, he just considered it weird).
"What do you see, Sanies?" asked Sacanas, checking to see if Sanies was seeing what he was seeing in the pony's mind. Meanwhile, the unconscious pony was slightly twitching on the floor. It's not a nice feeling having two very nasty people looking through your mind like that, I assure you.
"Love" Sanies spat out
"Ah, but what about the specifics? What does this stallion love specifically?"
"A mare, his mother, his father, his toilet for some reason"
"Good, apprentice, good! Quite honestly, I envy the pony for having those things, especially since he doesn't deserve them!
But enough sentimentality, let's see how well you fare in getting properly inside his head!"
The unconscious pony convulsed and twitched even more, especially when a dark essence exited Sanies' body and entered through the pony's horn. The pony screamed in agony before he stopped moving all together. Then he got up like a marionette being crudely manipulated. And as he did so, his head was constantly facing down, until it was forcefully lifted up as his eyes glowed a sickly green. Throughout the whole thing, the pony had a blank expression on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he felt the pony deserved it, Sacanas would be mortified by the sight.
"Good apprentice, although we will need to work on making your puppet's eyes a little less......glow in the dark"
"I wonder what would happen if I decide to use this body to travel to where he lives and..."
"I know what you're thinking and you can forget it! Besides, we still got Magic Absorption and Petrification to do"
Sanies then left the pony's body and entered back into his own, cracking his neck and stretching his arms afterwards. He then grabbed the pony by the neck and absorbed all the magic straight out of the pony's horn (don't get any funny ideas). Thing is, he absorbed way more than the unicorn's magic, as Sacanas noticed the pony stopped breathing after Sanies dropped it to the floor.
"Uh...Sanies? I think you killed him"
"Oh yes, about that, I made my own alterations to the spell"
"What alterations?"
"Rather than just absorb magic, I can use it to absorb a pony's soul as well"
What Sanies just said unnerved Sacanas to a surprising degree. He always imagined himself as a monster but even he was slowly starting to become unnerved by his apprentice's vile nature. And what's worse is that, rather than be just a beast that relies on brute strength, Sanies has the potential to be just as cunning as his master. Amusingly, despite being terrified of his apprentice, Sacanas can't help but find a kindred spirit in him. Someone whose appreciation of magic, light and dark, rivals that of his own. And that's not even getting into the fact that they percieve themselves as better than their peers. Sacanas then looked at the dead pony lying in front of him and then looked back at Sanies and laughed maniacally. He was laughing so hard he thought his sides were going to burst. While Sanies would have probably joined in, he was starting to get annoyed because he can't help but wonder what's so funny.
"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHEEEHEEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHOOHOOHOOHAHAHA!!!!! Oh Sanies, you really are a monster!"
"Really? Thank you for informing me of the obvious"
"You know what, let us skip the Petrification spell. I already know you can turn mice into stone so why not ponies" Sacanas said before laughing some more. Sanies can only just stare at his master before giving a smirk of his own. Sacanas has really gone off the deep end, hasn't he?
