Kha trembled, realizing that he must have been bleeding without realizing it. His front hooves were a cheery crimson colour. When he moved to rub it off, it caught in a dip in his normally smooth muzzle.
"What the heck?" It took his brain a few moments to catch up. He just spoke. Out loud. With a mouth.
"Jeezus!" He yelled jumping up. He almost fell back down, and only manged to catch himself with a lightning-fast hoof. "Oh no no no no no. No no no. This can't be happening." He glanced around at his normally long tail. It was... stubby, to say the least. In fact, a set of glossy, electric-blue strands poked through the pale skin. The bright red on his front paws was dulling, darkening to a navy color as shock set in and Kha fell back on his haunches. "I was certainly not expecting this." He muttered to himself.
He looked down at the dark blue hooves again, much thicker than they were before. Getting back to his feet - hard, considering his short tail messed up his center of balance - and tried walking. Three steps before he knew he couldn't go further. His muscles returning was eating away at his energy. And... he had a mouth now. Did that mean he had to... eat?"
"No... at least, not yet. I can't wait until I get my wings back." He looked up at the sky, despite the fact that it was the same empty white at his feet. "And then I can finally get out of this hellhole and punch Obsidian until he gets his facts straight."
"Hey, Discord? Discord? DISCORD!"
He jumped up from the ground, wide awake. He glared at Sunrise's rude awakenings and attempted to smooth down his on-end fur. "What?!"
"Have you ever thought about having another kid?"
"Uh-uh. Nope. Nada. Nix. Nine. No way, no how."
"Not with me, idiot!"
Discord let out a sigh. "Don't ever scare me like that again."
Sunrise made a gagging face. "Fine with me."
"Anyway, no. I think Obsidian is problem enough."
"How about a... grandchild?"
"Nah... wait... WHAT?!"
Sunrise blushed with a tiny smile. "Surprise?"
"I'll be right back, Mom! Just going to go find some food! Oh yeah, you can't stay alone, the fog will make you hurt more."
You're pathetic.
"Huh? Who's there! Don't hurt Mom!"
Because I could cause her so much pain. She's dead, idiot.
"No! She's sleeping! Right Mom? You're sleeping!"
Let me give you a biology lesson - nothing can live while missing half it's head.
"Did you make Mom so tired?"
SHE'S NOT SLEEPING! SHE'S DEAD! DEAD AS A ROCK! GONE! FOREVER! SHE'S NOT EVER FRIGGIN' WAKING UP!
Tigerjay started sobbing, hugging the cold corpse of Gilda. "Y-y-y-you're sle-sle-sleeping, r-right M-M-M-Mom?"
She's not sleeping! Get over it!
"You're just like that mean Alicorn! Stop being so mean!"
That... Alicorn? Oh yes, him. He's dead too.
"You... killed him?"
Of course. A useless pony is a dead pony, to me.
But it's not... Obsidian's quivering concience whispered. It's not the same... Some different part of him split the fog with a talon, landing the draconequus in the bubble of air.
He scowled down at the cowering Griffon and it's dead parent. Lifting the talon once again; Sa'arbinath.
Gilda's body slowly melted, Tigerjay stepping away in fear, turning into a puddle of black gruel. Hy'ther.
The goo reformed, tendrils snakily climbing a rapidly solidifying skeleton. Skin reformed as a white paste. The Griffon stood up on dead paws, rearing up and roaring with a jaw full of dagger-teeth. Her wings were bare of feathers, instead being excessivley coated in long spikes. Tigerjay backed further away from his reincarnated mother, coming to a stop again sonething tall and solid. That had claws on it.
He looked up, seeing Obsidian's disapproving scowl glaring back. The overlord lifted his talon, shaking the Element of Laughter free. Oh, she won't hurt you. At least, not until I tell her to.
Tigerjay let out a wail that matched the emotion and volume of a banshee before running away, his personal air bubble vanishing in the thick fog.
I think that went well. What about you, Gilda?
She turned dark black orbs at him and glared, baring her sharp teeth.
Oh yes, I forgot I didn't let you talk. Probably for the better.
Far away from this sad, sad scene, a creature was standing. It was massive, easily able to curl around it's perch - Everrise - twice. It's body shone with pale purple scales, while it's belly was a sea of dark green panels. It unfolded it's great wings, shifting them to a more comfortable position. Two giant cat's pupils looked over the sea of mist below, the sight spurring black talons to dig into the mountainside.
Spike growled. "If Sunrise is hurt, you little rat, I'll hurt you until you wish you were dead.
"Sunrise, I'm so sorry... I destroyed... everything."
Tears rn down the dragonness's cheeks, but she tried desperately to hide them. "Don't speak. You're going to be okay."
"I admire... your determindness."
"I'm not sure if that's a real word."
Obsidian laughed, spurring a fresh wave of crimson to slide from his mouth. "Sunrise... whatever happens next... I love you."
"Don't talk like that! You're going to live. You have to live."
"I don't have to do... hhrk... anything."
"Just... don't go."
"I can't help... dying, Sunrise. I'll... meet you..." he smiled, a crooked, broken thing, "...where the page... proclaims... the end."
