The cottage rumbled with settle dark magic as King Sombra was carefully moved to the table. Erratic blasts of dark magic fired in all kinds of directions as guards kept a steady stance and a tight grip on his chains until they got him into place. Captain Braeburn saluted his soldiers determination to fight the fear overcoming them. All while Luster Dawn facepalmed at the seer show on displace.
Blueblood kept a cool demeanor, unsure whether to laugh at their efforts or yawn in boredom. However, there was one annoyance that needed to be pointed out before they could go any further. "Why is he still wearing a muzzle?" he asked as they tightened the chains around the chair.
"Uh, he is dangerous?" one said.
"He might attack you?!" another spoke higher.
"Personally, I thought it would look pretty epic!" Lightning Dust laughed at the rest.
"Quite so..." Blueblood deadpanned. "Unfortunately, how can he answer our questions if we can't hear him?"
The soldiers looked back and forth to each other while considering his words. Lightning Dust caved ripped off the muzzle painfully. They all jumped back as the former king of darkness roared in agony.
"You cold heart bitc--" Sombra was stopped by the cattle prong again. Lightning Dust went in for another strike only for Luster Dawn to teleported it out of her hooves. Sombra turned his attention to the unicorn and quickly dropped his anger. "Thank you, Luster."
"You are very welcome." Luster Dawn nodded and went back to writing down some notes.
"How do you know her name?" Captain Braeburn berated him.
"You mean outside the fact I heard every part of the previous interrogation you had with Babs Seed?"
"What?!" This enraged Captain Braeburn. "Why I oughta--"
"You might as well admit defeat, you stubborn ass!!" Babs Seed echoed her own rage in the background. "I've told them everything!"
"Keep that mare silent and I will tell you the complete truth," Sombra answered.
"Why should we believe you?" Captain Braeburn argued back.
"You can believe Luster Dawn." His words brought silence to both of them as his sight wandered over to her.
Luster Dawn coughed the stares away. She had hoped the captain wouldn't be this stubborn. However, she would have to let this slip. "I trust him completely... but I will not choose a side." She quickly corrected.
"What? He's a villain?!"
"But I wasn't always a villain," Sombra caved to answers that Luster Dawn wasn't ready to talk about. He didn't want to break her trust but in order to continue these proceedings, they needed to trust him. "Luster inherited her name from me after I stabilized her magic during her childhood. It turned out being an offspring of one of the greatest wizards and a witch who broke time had some unforeseen consequences. Starlight and Sunburst took great care in keeping their alliance with me a secret but soon enough Princess Luna found out."
"Which is when she recruited you as her secret agent," Blueblood finished.
"Wait, he works for Princess Luna?!" Captain Braeburn was left slackjaw at such an answer.
"And I don't work alone." On cue a blur of pink and blue light rushed by and broke Sombra's chains. "Thank you, Cozy Glow."
"Cozy Glow?" A deep voice bellowed out from the small filly as she landed beside him on the table. "It was my idea to eat the chains!" The voice echoed again from her mouth before being followed by another voice, "But it was my teeth!" A smaller female voice more accurate to the filly form argued back. "Will you two please not do this now!" A final third voice, this one filled with lust demanded they stop. "What? Are we interrupting your whoring thoughts?!" The younger voice echoed back. If that's true then good! Anything is better than listening to her moaning." The deeper voice agreed. "Don't blame me, blame my species!" the lustful voice laughed. "Your species? You are in my body!!" the younger one screamed back.
The rest of the group was left utterly confused by the filly's three voices. So much so that Lightning Dust even lifted her cattle prong, aiming it right at the filly. Cozy Glow's body shocked three different color combos with the electrocution; the first was red, black, and white, the second was a sickly black, and teal and the final landed her back with the pink and light blue.
"Yeah... when Discord freed her from her stone imprisonment, it proved to have some strange side effects. Now she has some uninvited guesses living inside her." Sombra padded Cozy Glow on the head. "It turned out that draconequus wasn't fully to blame. Both princesses have tried everything they could to stabilize her, but it seems only a certain bell can fix the problem."
"Okay," Blueblood couldn't hide the fact that even he was caught off guard by this reveal. "Now that is cleared up, could you two-- and mean four explain your side of these events?"
"Yes, and we know the truth."
