Relax this isn't something that is easy to learn. Do not worry if you cannot get it on your first try.” Luna offered. Jynx let of a small sigh her eyes closed as she sat cross legged, her hands on her knees as she concentrated. She had been quite excited, once everything had been explained to her, that she could regrow her tail. The old scar had always been a reminder to her that there was always a chance some dog could get the better of her if she was ever lax. The talk with Princess Luna and Empress Cadence had taught her that such worries were no longer much of a concern unless the powers what is decided to make it an issue. And since random bad luck was something Jynx was not worried about as it would be beyond her control, she found she wanted a different reminder, and something to show that she was the alpha to all dogs whether they liked it or not. She was not happy that she could not regrow her tail, the wound was made before she ascended and thus was not repairable, much like the scars on Rahs' arm. However Cadence had suggested something else, which Luna was trying to show her how to do now. Gods occasionally had displays of their powers visible on their bodies. The sisters wavy manes, Discord's odd shape, the flow of water that seemed to stay around Aqua, the fact that Iinii was always the largest thing in a room, no matter what, and even Rahs' lights on his ear tips and tail were signs of a gods power, though in Rahs' case the balls of light were the same, but the one on his tail was now a crescent. It was that sort of thing Jynx was trying for. It had taken several hours of practice, but it had born results. Jynx smirked a little looking at the short spade like club that had formed on the end of her tail restoring the missing length to how it had looked before she lost it, with a slight difference. The current material her new tail club wasn't flesh and bone, it was made of a blackish stone with a deep green hue when it caught the light in a certain way. The new jade tail club would take some getting used to as she had been so long without the weight of it, but to have the biggest flaw she had in her own self image repaired, she hardly cared. “So all that is left is to bring you before the council and have your name added to the roster.” Cadence offered. “No thank you.” Jynx stated. “Oh?” Luna questioned. “You have brought up that there are others who do not participate in the council. I have far to much to do to change how Diamond Dogs are to get involved in something else right now. In time we will, but not now.” Jynx explained. “You have also said Rahs has not gone before the council.” “That is mostly because he wishes to do so in the most dramatic fashion possible.” Luna sighed. Jynx smirked. “Then I shall wait for him to do so. I am quite sure as dramatic a reveal of one god would be, suddenly having two to reveal would be even more dramatic.” Jynx offered. “I will speak with him first, but I am sure he would agree.” Luna frowned as Cadence's grin got even wider. “As you wish. We expect the fates already know about you, as does White. So there is no rush.” Luna sighed. “When ever you are ready Luna and I will happily sponsor you and if you have any questions feel free to ask us. I'm sure auntie Celestia, and Twilight would be willing to help as well.” Cadence smirked. “ Though given a particular agreement between us, try to get up with me first.” [ Seshat] Rahs dropped back onto the couch with a groan. Twilight hummed to herself at the table as she looked over the intact gemstone he had brought back. The siren's stone was drained of any magic simply by being near Rahs, though he had taken a few bites out of the magic filling the stone. It tasted like Swordfish steak. Sunset had taken a bit of time teasing him as she worked out how to fix the the spell. Granted once she had focused on fixing it it hadn't taken long for her to figure out the nature of the spell, it had taken her a bit longer to reverse it as she had to figure out magic in the new body. Still once everything was fixed and explained to the guards Sunset had quickly drug Rahs off on a impromptu date in Bayston. It was more a sightseeing and food tour, but Rahs certainly wasn't going to complain about that. “Well this is certainly interesting. As if Discord didn't confirm it himself, this is a chaos artifact.” Twilight sighed. “At least this means there's only one left, though if what you say is true they are still dangerous if they managed to cast a spell like that. Spike is at least very happy with Sunset fixing it. Though I'm a bit upset I didn't get to do much with that form before we changed back. Applejack also wasn't too happy that I borrowed her hat.” Rahs raised an eyebrow at that, considered, then decided he didn't want to know. “There was something else I was going to tell you too before I got distracted by this.” Twilight considered tapping a hoof against her chin. “FUZZY!” Trixie cried, plowing into the couch as she dove onto it to hug Rahs, the whole thing tipping over with a crash. “Oh right. Trixie is here.” Twilight nodded. [?] “While I must admit you make a compelling argument, nothing you have shown me makes me think you can do anything you've offered.” “I expect you would be suspicious, at the same time I have no reason to tell you anything else. After all you have done nothing to show that you would even be willing to work with me and you are not some one I was initially going to contact at all. Had you not caught my eye I would have never come here. You have potential, but thus far that is all. “ “And yet I have nothing to prove to some one who cannot give me any reason that they are even worth my time.” “This is true as well. But I will say I have quite a number of plans, and several of them are already coming to fruition. Besides, your issue is revenge, that is such a simple thing.” “The issue is hardly just revenge. With what I was forced to endure, revenge is just the start. Total domination is the ultimate goal, I don't need to kill them all, just force them under my hoof.” “ Delusions of grandeur then.” “How dare you...” “Calm yourself. With my help they would hardly be delusions and what I offer would put you on equal footing with your foes, to be fair however what you ask is a great deal, but it aligns with my end game.” “And you'll need some sort of test subject for that as you say. I don't see how that benefits me.” “No no. I don't need a test subject, I can grab any pony off the street for that. The theory of mine is sound and the results in several of my tests have been favorable. What I need at this point is some one to use as a prototype for everything to progress beyond that. After all there is still so much we don't know about the process. And to think that bearded idiot figured it out centuries before I was even born. Ah well, that path seems lost now, but he proved it can be done.” “So what exactly would you need of me?” “I need backing, as well as some one I can trust as a second. Some one who has a reason not to betray me. What you want would easily be that reason. I've been stabbed in the back once before by some one I trusted, and I assure you, once is enough. But I am going to be gathering others, who will be far less trustworthy and would prefer at least one who would willingly watch my back.” “And you think that is me?” “Of course not, not yet, but our goals align in places, and our end games differ enough that we would hardly be at odds with one another. So to put it simply. Prove to me you're worth my time, and I shall make it quite worth your while.” “I shall consider it.”
