//------------------------------// // Chapter 8 // Story: Lighting Heaven Reincarnated // by A random pony oc //------------------------------// Zecora was still the same as before, standing in one place just as I left her. Even so, I still couldn't use magic for some weird reason, so I doubt I can control her to do my bidding. Twilight was talking to Spike about what my cutie mark could possibly mean, but to be honest, I barely know either. I was in a bubble of magic and my hoofs were restricted so I couldn't take off the ring on my horn. I was pretty much hopeless. Hey wait, how do they even know about Zecora? I questioned one of my thought trains in my mind as Twilight and Spike conversed. "Spike, remember that old book that taught necromancy?" "Yeah, what does it got to do about Zecora?" "Her cutie mark must be related to that. It is an summoning circle after all." Shoot, I can't let them capture me and ship me to the princesses. Thank you, not. Amazon is better. While I was rambling about Amazon and stuff, Twilight was looking at Zecora, flipping notes, and writing probably about the blankness in her eyes and how she doesn't responds to her. And while she was doing that, I managed to spruce up a conversation with Spike. "Hey Spike, do you believe I'm a threat?" I said innocently, trying to do puppy eyes. "Not in particular, you seem like you said; harmless. Twilight does tend to go over board quite a few times now." "You know, my cutie mark actually means I just good at runes, right? Lots of ponies got confused about my 'perfect' mark." I lied. Spike should be gullible and not one of those fanfictions who think that Spike is basically Albert Einstein, right? "What are runes?" This is torture. Pain. I literally am the definition of jinx. "Maybe of you tell Twilight to let me go, I can show you my collection!" I said, trying to hide the nervous undertone in my voice. Please work, please let me have a break and let it work. Spike shrugged and walked in the direction of Twilight, who had ten notebooks stacked next to her, along with the several books laying on the ground. "Hey Twilight?" "What Spike, I'm busy with this theory. Zecora is unusually-" "Listen to me, she's just a filly Twilight. What can she possibly do to us?" Lots, but I am rooting for you Spike! "Don't you see that she just looking for her mother? We really just holding her hostage now. Let's just drop her off at the police station and not cause trauma to her, shall we? " he said seriously. Twilight face held a breath before dropping the notebook she was holding in her telekinesis. "Fine Spike, but if somehow the world is burning down and the elements are shattered, I'm blaming you." Finally I was let out of the bubble, dropping head first on the ground. They removed the ring on my horn, and finally I realized how stupid I am. "Also, continuing about Zecora, I think she is possessed by some sort of magic. I can't trace where the spirit is in her body, but I believe Celestia can help with that. Besides it pretty late..." she said before slowing down as I calmed down. Well, can I just leave it here? Shouldn't I wipe their memories just in case, as you know who will show up with a power beam to the moon. I wonder how Luna didn't go insane already... I know! I'll just erase some cut scenes and replace them with some other stuff. I teleported the book to the hoofs and flip the pages while thinking where I will live while ignoring the glares I received from Twilight and Spike. I can't just live in the wild like a homeless person. Maybe I can live with them, hell, I could even control them. Be their leader of some sorts. They do have a big influence in the series. Are we even following the series anymore? Either way, its a good idea. Shortly after, I found the page I was looking for and changed Twilight and Spike's memories. Time returned to normal and as if nothing happened, I was picked up by Twilight. "So sorry, but I couldn't let your pristine coat get dirty, get off my back Spike, why're you even there?" Spike got off quickly, as he apologized to Twilight and I. As she lifted me on her back and started to move, I thought of a plan to do while I live in this supernatural world, where another threat is in store. After all, what fun is it to control things from the background? Absolutely yes and no. A few hours later Twilight was out shopping for dinner while Spike was trying to hit on Rarity, so I was alone reading whatever I could about magic and history I didn't pay attention to in the show. Apparently there is three types of magic. First is the regular day to day magic. It varies through to different elements and other stuff. So basically it's the default of this magic system. Its also what most magic users use for magic attacks if they don't do necromancy, which is the second type. Necromancy is the magic of the soul, magic of the dead, or as I like to call it, unlimited power. It lets you control anypony, though it is easier when it, uh, dead. Only specific races can do it though, so barely anyone can experience the probably horrific scene. Some ponies are exceptions if they do a sacrifice though. I wonder how I did it... The last one is enchantments, like the Crystal Heart, or Grogar's bell. They can only do limited things depending how much magic is put into there, and how strong the user is. Luckily, basically almost everyone can do it, as long they have some magic. So, if somehow I can't use necromancy, now I can either use enchanted items, or just use basic magic. My stomach rumbled as I realized I haven't ate anything in a while and probably on the way to dying because of starvation. Where is Twilight when I need her? Maybe I should go check, just in case. I went outside and wandered around the town, hoping to find some traces as where Twilight could have gone. I didn't find a clue until... "Come one and all, come witness The Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie shouted. Fireworks shoot up to the sky, becoming bright colors as the crowd cheered except for the Mane Six. Clearly, they were furious. I wonder where this will go...
