Chapter 13: The Alicorn Of Death
There was no darkness this time, it was a white void.
Nothing but white as far as the eye can see…
Harry blinked as he felt strength enter his muscles, and noticed that he felt more energetic than he was ever before…
“What is this? Where am I?” He asked to himself, his voice echoing throughout the empty void.
Then someone spoke behind him, “ You’re in the realm between realms, Mister Potter.”
Harry whirled around and saw a unicorn mare standing there, who was wearing a white office suit with a red quill on the left breast of the suit jacket.
Her red hair was cut short, and down straight, her stance was relaxed, as if she was waiting for him.
But he could see the limitless power hidden behind those warm and caring arctic blue eyes…
She is powerful, even more than Luna, Celestia, and Sirius/Discord combined…
“ Who are you?” Harry asked, feeling himself tense up in case she was hostile to him.
But he had a feeling that the woman wasn’t, there seemed to be an invisible aura that can make everything and everyone around her calm…
She also seemed to greet him as a friend, which made him relax slightly.
The woman saw the tension leaving the man’s arms and smiled even more.
Her power suddenly wrapped around his own, embracing him in a cocoon of sapient magic, it was as if judging him worthy of something, but for the life of him, Harry couldn’t figure out what.
After a few silent moments, she spoke, interrupting the silence,
“ Hmm… Yes, you shall do…” She murmured to herself, her blue eyes glowing slightly as she eyed him.
Harry blinked, as if trying to figure out what she meant, when suddenly, he felt an uncomfortable warmth hit him in the chest, and engulfed him in an inferno of yellow, grey, and black magic, whirling around him like a tornado or hurricane.
And he in the eye of the magical storm…
Then it began seeping into him as if he was the sponge, and the magic is the water, being absorbed greedily, and the warmth grew into a searing heat that made Harry buckle into a ball, gritting his teeth in pain.
Then he began screaming in agony, his back a searing white hot as appendages grew from his spine and ripped through his shirt, unfurling in the sense of newfound freedom.
His horn grew a few inches longer than normal, meaning in unicorn terms a larger magical core.
And his eyes, god his eyes…
His green emerald eyes glowed with power and a black mist seeping from the sockets and his black mane whirled around his head in an invisible wind.
Harry’s heart was beating faster and faster with every second as his body did it’s best to absorb the unknown magic and integrate it with his own.
It was like that for a full minute, before the pain started to fade, leaving a heaving stallion curling into a ball, and his aching body shaking.
The red-haired unicorn only stood and watched, her hands folded behind her back, with her blue eyes looking over him with an emotion that Harry couldn’t identify…
“ Hmph, if only you weren’t already taken.” She murmured, catching Harry’s attention by kneeling next to him and lifting up his chin, peering into his eyes as he tried to calm himself down.
“ Yes, you would do…” She said, then got back to her feet, and began walking away.
That’s when Harry noticed the large pristine white wings folded on the woman’s back.
“ Welcome to the family, Harry Potter… Alicorn Of Death…” She announced, a smile on her lips, winking at the stallion’s widening eyes as she faded from view.
“W-wait!” Harry shouted at the disappearing Alicorn mare, “ How do I?!-”
Then he woke up…
----------------------------------------------
Celestia stood outside the cocoon of magic, biting her lip and trying to control her breathing as she paced in front of the area where Harry was situated…
Normally an event such as this wouldn’t cause her to panic, in fact, she would’ve welcomed it…
But this was different, it never took this long...
For 3 hours straight, Harry was floating in the magic, his eyes glowing and back arched as if trying to get the kinks out, arms spread eagle.
Then she saw Harry’s head jolt forward, which meant down, and she saw that the stallion’s eyes were glowing brighter with black smoke coming from the sockets.
It reminded her of Sombra, except for ultimate evil and the weird obsession he had with dark crystals…
...She never did ask why…
The door to the room opened and in came Luna, who was panting slightly from running across the castle nonstop.
Chrysalis, Teddy, and Amethyst were there, following behind and outside the doorway, peeking in to see the spectacle that was currently going on…
“ Sister, have you felt?...” She stopped speaking as she took notice of the large ball of magic floating behind Celestia, and seeing the silhouette inside, Luna’s eyes widened.
“ Tia… Is that young Harry?” Luna spoke, her voice shaking slightly as she stared at the spectacle before her.
The Solar Diarch nodded her head, shifting and stretching her back due to walking in a small area for a couple of hours, which was very uncomfortable, I’ll have you know!
“ Yes, Lulu, it is Harry Potter. I believe he is becoming an Alicorn, like Princess Cadence all those years ago.” Then she looked over her shoulder to Harry’s floating body, then continued, “ But it shouldn’t have taken this long.”
Teddy scrambled to where his Godfather is and felt himself become weak for some reason, and he began wobbling on shaky knees to try and balance himself upright, before he began to fall to the ground.
Luna noticed immediately and caught the young boy before he fell to the ground, making herself go to her knees to make herself comfortable as Amethyst ran over to her friend’s side, concerned.
That’s when a small strand of magic, yellow in color, shoot out of the orb and phased into Teddy, causing him to gasp as he felt the warmth he always noticed whenever Celestia was around, but it was even more pronounced than before.
Celestia and Luna’s eyes widened as they saw another strand shot out and ram full force into Chrysalis’s chest, causing her to go flying and hit the opposite wall, letting out gasps of pain as she fell to a sitting position against the wall, unable to move.
That’s when three others slither through the air, being gentle as they went into the Royal Sisters and Amethyst, causing the group to fall unconscious as whatever magic is being absorbed by Harry pulled their consciences into him.
Even Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker were pulled along with them, being of the same mind and body as Celestia and Luna.
The door to the room slammed shut as Chrysalis was being pulled through the air with gentleness to lay next to Luna.
Then a shield was produced around the entire section of the Castle, sealing everyone inside with no way in or out.
What is going on?...
