What Happens in Terraria

by BioChemicalWolfGear


Knight of Flight

I waited for a few hours for Rainbow and Radiant Garden to enter the throne room. I felt it unfair to ask them to leave only to make them come back so quickly. I was delighted however when they both arrived. Rainbow Dash seemed to be wearing a chest plate made of polished cobalt ore, with a feather pattern that represented her speed and ability to fly.

“Nice gear Rainbow.” I complimented with a smile.

“Thanks! Darkness made it. For a guy who represents your evil he’s pretty awesome.” She said spinning around to show me all sides.

“Wait who told you that?” I asked puzzled.

“Radiant did when he was showing me to my room; actually Darkness just finished it when I got there even though he just got out of the armory.”

“Armory? Hmm I didn’t know we had an armory.” I said scratching my chin.

“Really?” Deadpanned Rainbow. “It’s your castle dude.”

“My new castle that I didn’t have three days ago. It’s not exactly home yet. Anyway I’ve brought you two here for my earlier project with getting a new body. However, Rainbow I know your very impatient and your body isn’t as strong as I want it to be. That’s why I’ve brought Radiant Garden and you before me. I want Radiant to adjust your body to be stronger than a regular pony.”

“Wait you want to change who I am!” She shouted angrily.

“No I want to improve your body so you can do more good. Think of being able to go toe to toe with a dragon. All my Thanes can do this except you. You need weapons to harm the thick scales of dragons. The others as well but you can’t even be touched by its flame or you’re dead. Radiant, what do you think you can do to Rainbow Dash to allow her to become strong enough to get through a fight with a dragon?”

“Well my lord I do believe I can improve the toughness of her skin and make it harder to be cut. When it comes to fire I’m not sure I’m able to do anything about it. Maybe a few crystal hearts will increase her life expectancy but since she isn’t a Terrarian I don’t know what effect that will have on her.” He said while eyeing Rainbow’s anatomy.

“Oh first, Rainbow are you ok if we make changes to you?”

“Sure as long as it’s not changing who I am then ok and if I look too different I’ll pound your face in.” She said threateningly.

“Then it’s settled then. Radiant, fix her up to be powerful. Oh and if you can give her an ability to transform into a more combat desirable form then I’m ok with that. As long as she’s able to revert back and look like a regular pony.”

“Actually my lord that may be possible with a few new glands that I can fit…” He pointed to a few places on her body. “Here…here…and here.”

“Very well then. What about blunt force trauma? Can you reduce that?”

“Yes I can make it so her body absorbs more energy if she’s thrown around. But when it comes to her skull I can do little about it.” He said while holding her scalp while Rainbow gives him an irritated look.

“Why are you touching me?”

“It’s your body in question and I’m the doctor. Me touching you is possibly the least invasive thing I’m going to do to you when this is over.” He said so nonchalantly it made Rainbow Dash uncomfortable. She gulped loudly and you’d imagine he just threatened to hire ponies to group rape her with the horrified look she was giving him.

“I-I change my mind I don’t want this!”

“It’s not going to be that bad Rainbow Dash. I’m going through the terrifying process of getting a new body. And I asked for it! You’re just getting an improvement to yours so it isn’t that bad.” I said trying to convince her to change her mind. A willing Thane is a loyal one after all.

She mulled it over in her mind for a few moments before simply responding. “Ok fine.”

“Good. Darkness set you up with a room right?” I asked Radiant.

“Well no he was doing something else. I asked him for a room to set up my trees, and he gave me directions to one that was big enough and didn’t really have a purpose yet.”

“All right lead the way then.” I told him while standing from my throne.

Rainbow seemed neutral on the way to the room. We descended the stairs and I gave glances over to my old roommate for any indication of emotion. I’m particularly searching nervousness or fear that I might detect. I was confused however at the simple lack of emotion on her face. I wondered what happened to the brash and confident Rainbow Dash that I knew. Then again she may be content with the idea of turning her body into something different.

I feel the same way about my body after all.

We went down the spiral stair case and passed several floors. They all had the same kind of hall way even though the layout was different. Everything was pearlstone, and the light from the white tourches seemed to reflect off of pearlstone so well that it left nothing in the dark. But it confused me as to why they were white torches. I thought I told Darkness to place cursed flame torches around the halls. I’ll have to change the torches in my throne room to the white ones he decided to place instead.

We arrived at our destination within ten minutes of the beginning of our journey. The location of the room was twenty floors below the throne room. It was roughly one hundred feet wide and tall with four torches that lit its interior. It also had a dirt ground which made me believe that this must have been created to house a small biome or possibly a farm. My imagination could run wild with what the room was supposed to be used for, but eventually I settled with the idea that it’s now my biology chamber.

“So how will you do this? I understand you’ll need a tree but is that all?” I asked Radiant.

“Well I need time and water. A lot of water to be able to do any changes to the body of any mammal. Maybe if we have sunflowers I can use those for gene Splicing.”

I was slightly taken back by ‘Gene Splicing’ mainly because I didn’t know what that meant, but it sounded like Garden knew what he was doing so I thought of places where I could get water.

“…Shit.” I said out loud.

“What?” Asked Rainbow Dash. They both turned to look at me and watch my expression.

“We’re going to need water from a pond or lake. But from this area the closest pond is in Ponyville. That means that whatever we do ponies are going to be asking questions. It’s not so simple to lower the water level of a pond without ponies asking questions. Celestia will be suspicious as well…Ah! I know!” I stated after a few moments of thinking. “We can present the draining of the pond as a potion project!”

“A potion project?” Asked Rainbow Dash with a raised eyebrow. Radiant Garden also raised his eyebrow not knowing what I meant.

“Yes! We can create another biome to grow mushrooms and create health potions. We can present some of those to the local hospital and Celestia will not only support the gene Splicing project but partake in it! I also want to keep Rainbow’s title a secret for now. I don’t know why but I feel I can use you more effectively if they don’t know you’re loyal to me.”

“Well I can tell Twilight and she’ll give the message to the princess.” Rainbow stated.

“No, then she’ll know there’s a connection between us. Keeping you a secret will greatly increase your usefulness. Instead I’ll go to Celestia myself and propose the idea of health potions. Actually Rainbow does the hospital use health potions?”

“If it did I wouldn’t spend three days in the hospital. We have magic but when it comes to potions we’re kinda at a loss.”

“Good, we Terrarian’s have mastered potion making and our knowledge will do wonders for Equestria.” I said proudly.

“So you want me to turn this room into a potion lab?” Asked Radiant Garden.

“Actually yes and no. I want all kinds of different plant life surrounding the gene Splicing tree you will build. We can say this is our biology lab where we create new plant life for potions. It’ll be close enough to the truth that we aren’t lying and keep our true intentions a secret.”

“That’s kinda…impressive.” Said Rainbow Dash looking uncomfortable.

“What’s wrong?” I asked with growing concern for my new Thane.

“Well you seem so good at lying and I wonder what else you could have lied about. I’ve known you for a while now and even though you’re looking out for me…what you just did now makes me feel like most of your supposed background could be fake. Like you’re just a big lie.” She looked at the ground guiltily and rubbed her hoof across the exposed dirt.

I listened with interest of Rainbow’s words. Keeping her in the dark about my true origins was a good idea or not. I won’t make this mistake to not trust Rainbow. I will tell her, Celestia was someone I wanted to impress and to do that I had to lie about what I am. But Rainbow is a trustworthy ally now. She deserves to know.

“You’re right about your suspicions Rainbow.” She looked up at me with an open jaw. “I have lied to you, but I never thought it would make you feel differently about me. If you want, after we get this settled I’ll tell you everything about myself. But to show that I will tell you everything I’ll tell you something now. You know how I knew about you?”

“You researched us right?”

“Close but that’s not the whole truth. In all honesty I admired all of you because I watched you throughout your daily lives. You ponies are a source of entertainment and you remind us of how important friends and family are.”

“R-really?” She said unsure of how to take the information.

“Yes. I’ll tell you more later. Garden you can start setting up now right?”

“Yes I can. I just need some plants and a bit of grass. The lighting is good though.” He said with a smile. “The plants will grow up very healthy.”

“Good, I’m going to go talk to Darkness and see if he can get you some plants. I also need to get him to make more biomes for the different plants.”

“All right sir. I’ll be in my room so send him to me when everything is ready.” He said with a hint of excitement.

“You seem happy. Is it because I’m asking you to work with plants?” I said with a smile of my own.

“Oh yes! I love creating new plants! It’s what I live for!”

“Agreed. Come on Rainbow, let’s find Darkness.”

“K.” She said following me out of the door.

Radiant stayed behind and seemed to survey the room for a few moments. I paid no mind to him as I jumped off the stairwell and began flying upward. Rainbow followed me up and joined my side.

“Why didn’t we fly last time?” She asked.

“Because Radiant can’t fly Dash!”

“Oh.”

We went up a few flights before stopping at the second level below the throne room. We would go up another level to the floor were all the Thane’s rooms are but Darkness happened to be on that level adding green torches.

“Hey Darkness!” I shouted and flew over to him. “Instead of green do white. I like how it easily turns the entire inside of the castle to day. Oh and can you create biomes for different ingredients of potions?”

“Where shall I put them?”

“Around the Gene Splicing chamber. Also send down an acorn and a Staff of Growing down to Radiant Garden where he’ll use it for the Gene Splicing room.”

“You mean the Biology Lab? Very well and why white torches now? Why not earlier?”

“I didn’t think of how great it would look earlier. Now excuse me while Rainbow and I have a talk.”

“Yes my lord.” He said in his usual uninterested tone.

Rainbow Dash and I headed up to her new room. She showed me the way since I didn’t know exactly where it was either. We both took a few minutes of searching before we saw a door with the sign ‘Thane of Flight’ on top. We assumed it was Rainbow’s room and we were right. It had a mannequin of a pony with some greaves on the forelegs and hind legs.

“Well this is an interesting room.” I said noting the cloud walls that look very similar to the walls in her home.

“Yea it’s a work in progress, but it’s a start when it comes to feeling like home. And the bed is massive!” She said flying over to it and falling on it, she created a *poof* sound when she landed on the soft bed. “It feels so awesome!” She said resting on her back.

I closed the door behind me. “All right then. Now that you’re settled let’s talk about me.” I said in a serious tone. I looked over to the right of the room and next to the king sized bed I saw a small table and chair fit for a pony.

“Oh yea.” She said remembering why we came into her room. “I want to know everything!” She demanded.

“And I’ll tell you everything.” I walked over to the small table and chair and moved the chair to the side of her bed. I sat down on it and looked her in the eye. “How about we start with my real name.”

“Puppet Master isn’t your name?”

“No…I go by a lot of names but there’s one I go by more often than any other name.”

I began explaining my history to Rainbow Dash.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a few hours of telling Rainbow Dash about the human world and what a TV is she seemed to calm down about me not opening up to her. I gave her the full truth about what I am and gave my opinion on how Equestria came to be.

“I believe the gods used Human curiosity and imagination to make an idea of this world. They must have copied our idea exactly, which explains why your world and the world invented by humans is so similar and why Equestria exists at all. Or I can have it the other way around. Humans imagine worlds that already exist.” And so on and so on.

Most of the stuff on how I thought Equestria exists in my world is mostly my opinion and I told Rainbow all my theories. I even told her about horses and ponies in my world and how they help society even though they aren’t intelligent. I told her how Humans are without magic and how the weather controls itself.

I even told her of the hundreds of countries that exist in my world and the approximate population of mankind.

“About 6 Billion.”

“WHAT?!”

Then I went on about the wars we humans have. And even some of the dangers of our world.

“There are over one hundred different countries. Odds are one of them is going to have a disagreement with each other. And don’t think humans are war lords either. If you were to call us warlords just because of how many wars we have in the past you should be ashamed of yourself. No human enjoys taking another life except a psychopath.”

“What’s a psychopath?”

“…” *sigh*

Eventually she fell asleep while I was talking about how culture and religion is a very influential thing on society. Surprisingly Rainbow listened as closely as she could until exhaustion collapsed her on the bed right in front of me while I was talking about the Roman empires influence.

I watched her chest rise and fall within her armor that’s been made to fit her body perfectly. I slowly got up and found my way to the door concluding our session of admittance. I felt Rainbow become more attached to me as I poured my heart out onto her when we began and I talked mostly about myself. I went to my room and laid down in the bed to make sure I have it as a spawn point.

Then I waited for day break in my throne room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the sun peaked over the horizon I assumed Celestia was awake and ready for the day. The moment it did however Darkness stepped into the throne room.

“My lord, the biomes are ready and are now producing useful plant life. I’ve also noted that Radiant Garden has produced several plants in the Biology Lab and has begun creating potions for Equestrian hospitals. We’ve already created and filled three crates for any hospital that want’s it.”

“Good, I was just about to go see Celestia. Oh and what’s the status of the underground corruption?”

“Finished and I’ve already created several corrupt worms to scout the underground. I’ve actually found very interesting minerals close to Equestria’s core.”

“What kind of minerals?” I inquired.

“Well there are two things I want to tell you about the underground. First the amount of evil creatures there is staggering. Two there’s Adamantite down there.”

“Really? Create more corrupt subterranean creatures to find out more. And what about the other dark creatures?”

“I believe it’s Tartarus sir. It’s in the way of our mining operation. I’ve seen the creatures and I’m not so sure if I like the idea of digging that deep.”

“Find places where you can avoid the Equestrian hell. If you can’t then we’ll forget about it. I don’t want to risk the world I live in over some minerals.”

“I thought you liked unrest?” Said Darkness with a small tilt of his head.

“Not really. I like war but I don’t like a ruined world. If I have to make peace with Celestia to stop a threat to both our kingdoms then I’ll do it.”

“Very well. I’ll get back to the mines.” He said while turning back to the double doors.

He hopped the railing and went into a dive down to the depths of the castle. I sat on my throne and looked at where Darkness left my vision.

“Show off.” I said bitterly.

I then got up and went through the open double doors myself. I looked up at the skylight and took flight. I went through the skylight and looked across the horizon toward Canterlot castle. Seeing the white mountain city from this far was hard since it was blurry from the distance. But it was defiantly there and in sight. I flew fast toward the capital of my ‘friend’ Celestia.

“Actually.” I said to myself. “I should grab a lesser health potion.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Princess Luna sat on the throne in Canterlot. Her nightly duties of keeping Equestria’s night life safe for all citizens who participate it was now over and it was her time to rest while Celestia took over the day. Luna patiently awaited her sister to join her in the throne room where they would begin conversing about what happened in the night while Luna was on watch, then they will go their separate ways and Celestia will sit on the throne.

Ever since Luna took over the night crime rates when the lights were off went down significantly. It was because of the night vision of the night guard that Luna has installed within the few days she was back. The crime rate wasn’t that high in the first place, and since then it dwindled to maybe one crime every week rather than two or three.

Just when Princess Luna was worrying about what was keeping Celestia the throne room doors opened revealing her beloved sister. She had a small case of bed mane and walked in with a brush in said mane. Celestia trotted up to her sister while stroking her mane with the brush with a content smile on her face.

“Good morning dear sister.” Said Princess Luna with a warm smile.

“Good morning Luna.” Said Celestia happily. “Anything interesting happen in the night?” She asked.

“Actually a father resorted to mugging a rich stallion in the night. He didn’t hurt him but after I heard it was because of how hard it was for him to pay his taxes I may have asked the banks to loosen their grip and gave him a reduced sentence.” Said Luna sheepishly while Celestia’s smile grew so you’d see her teeth. “Surprisingly enough, after his apology to the stallion the same stallion he mugged offered to give his family some bits while he was away.”

“Well that was very generous on both your parts.” Said Celestia without losing her smug expression. “Have a nice rest Luna.” Said Celestia.

“Thank you sister.” Said Luna. She stepped down from the throne and they passed each other with high spirits. Celestia took her seat at the same time Luna opened the door. Celestia noticed her sister paused for a few moments before she said.

“Hello Puppet Master. What brings you to Canterlot?” Celestia’s ears perked up.

“I was hoping to speak with both you and Celestia if that’s all right.”

“Sure that’s all right with me.” Said Luna with a hard to read expression. It was as if her spirits were just shattered and the fate of Equestria may be on the line. Then again if a leader of a country visited the noble office wishing to speak with the president then surely there’s a cause for some alarm.

I walked in with Luna at my side and the guard that escorted me to the throne room returned to his post.

“Ah Puppet Master.” Said Celestia putting on her trademark smile. “What do we owe the pleasure.”

“I was hoping we can come to an agreement that will strengthen the bonds between the Red Rose Empire and Equestria.” I said stealing a quote from Civilizations V.

“Very well let’s hear it.” Said Celestia as Luna stands at the bottom of the throne and facing me with an expression that shows her interest in the conversation.

“Us Terrarians are exceptional potion makers and farmers. But when it comes to mining our skills are unmatched. Though I’m here to talk about potion making. I was having a lovely conversation with the Element of Loyalty-and may I add she thinks highly of you-She told me that while she was in the hospital she wasn’t given any health potions to quicken her recovery. So in response I create a few farms to grow herbs that went into making potions. I want to donate the potions to Equestria’s medical industry.” I stated with a smile.

“Really?” Said Celestia seeming to think about my proposal a little too deeply.

I understood her reason. If I was in her position I might want to test it to make sure it isn’t poison or something like that.

“May I ask to know how it works?” inquired Luna with skepticism in her voice.

“I can give you an example if you wish.” I said in response to Luna’s question.

“Very well. How will you show us it’s abilities?” She asked.

“I will cause harm to myself.” I said while opening my inventory to remove my armor. Once my armor was removed for all except the vanity items-which consisted of only a crown-I took out my Excalibur.

The guards and princesses reacted to my sword and all flinched in their own way. The guards lowered their spears and I quickly shoved Excalibur into my stomach. I grunted in pain and I heard shocked gasps from the two guards and the princesses. I retracted the sword and it returned to my inventory hot bar.

“Now I present to you.” I said without difficulty and taking out a lesser health potion. “A health potion.” I held it up.

“How are you not in pain!” Exclaimed Luna but I ignored her.

I drank the potion and my wounds sealed up almost instantly. It wasn’t fully healed but it was enough to prove that it did wonders. It even stopped the bleeding and cleaned up the blood already spilt. It took a few moments for the ponies to pick their jaws off the ground.

“H-how?” Stammered Luna.

“This is called the lesser health potion. An improved version could heal the wound completely. Right now we’re creating lesser health potions and we’ve already stacked three crates full of them. I want to donate them to Equestria’s hospitals. Especially to the ones in intensive care or anyone critically wounded. These potions could give a pony enough time to be saved by the doctors in a normally fatal accident.”

“T-that’s impressive.” Said Celestia getting her shock under control. “May I ask the ingredients?”

“I don’t know them off the top of my head but they are made by a special mushroom that grows in Terraria my home.”

“How did you get them if you can’t go home?” Asked Luna suspiciously.

“We have many different types of plants on our person most of the time. It was simply a matter of replanting them. Radiant Garden has a gift with creating plants so anything we didn’t have he created using another plant. He’s a biology god! And his insight on anatomy of plant life allows him to invent new types of fauna each day.” I said trying my best to sound impressive.

“That’s impressive.” Said Luna tapping her chin and looking to her right a little. “May I see these farms you claim to have?”

“Yes you can. Just join me in my throne room whenever you please and I’ll summon Radiant Garden. He’s the one in charge of creating new plants. I don’t know if he puts together the potions but I do know we have them according to my Thane Darkness.”

“Darkness? You mean the wicked one?” Said Luna bitterly.

“You know about Darkness?” I asked.

“Celestia told me about him. I don’t trust him.” Said Luna emphasizing her point by crossing her hooves.

“I can understand that, and I don’t ask you to trust him either. But he only acts when I ask him to and you can ask him anything you want.”

“Very well. Where is your throne within your castle? Or do you have a servant to guide me there?” She asked.

“Just come in through the skylight at the top of the tower. The throne should be the highest level available. You’ll know what I mean when you see it.” I responded to her. “Oh and Princesses.” I said getting them both to listen intently while silencing Luna’s next question. “I’d like some pegasi workers to bring water into my castle. Not too much but enough so I can finish creating the Biology Lab we have in progress.”

“Biology Lab?” Inquired Celestia.

“Yes Biology Lab, I have a few projects that involve healing physical ailments that can’t be undone with a health potion like the ones I showed you. I want to be able to find a way to maybe regrow limbs that are lost from any accidents that may have happened in a ponies life time. If I’m successful I’ll offer it to you as a reward for your assistance in ground breaking medical technology.” I felt confident that they’d take the bait and agree to it.

“Hmm I’m not sure.” Said Celestia. “I think we should see how well the potions turn out first. If I like how they’ve been assisting doctors then I’ll ask for more and then consider helping you. Why do you ask for water when you can get it yourself?” The very question Celestia asked was the one I was hoping for.

“You see, my tower is nowhere near a water source that I can use. Most of the water I can gather are tiny ponds that are watering holes for the wildlife. The only lake or pond that I can safely take from is near the town of Ponyville. One of your respective settlements. I don’t want to take a resource from you without asking.”

Celestia nodded her head in approval for the reason why I wouldn’t gather water. “That’s noble of you Puppet Master. I like the deal as is for now. The advancement of your Biology Research will be the next one we will talk about. I agree to accepting health potions from you to further our good relations. And I am thankful of your consideration for my ponies.”

“You’re welcome Celestia. I will have an air strip constructed on the side of my tower for chariots to land and take the potions from my tower to the hospitals.”

“I’ll have the first batch delivered to Stalliongrad up north. Hydra attacks are plentiful there and it would be the best field test for saving lives. The situation there is considerably grim considering the wounds inflicted on my citizens there.” Said Celestia with a frown.

“Then consider the deal struck. You will have your batch of potions and I’ll get the airstrip constructed. Oh and Luna.” I turned to the Dark Alicorn in question. “I look forward to your visit.” I gave her a court bow.

I took out my magic mirror and teleported home.

Luna turned to Celestia after the sparks disappeared. “I’ll go now and examine his equipment. I’ll bring two Elite Night Guards with me for protection.”

“Ok and do be careful sister. I feel there’s more to this than meets the eye.” Said Celestia to her beloved sister.

“I’ll look for anything strange while I’m there. I’ll also check all rooms that look suspicious and inquire about whatever I’m informed of.” Said Luna to her sister.

“Good, but make sure you have an escape route planned wherever you are ok?”

“I will sister.”

Luna walked over to the double doors and opened them. She stepped out of the throne room and headed toward the barracks.

“I hope she can handle herself.” Said Celestia with a solemn expression and lowering her head in worry. She picked her head up gain shortly after. “I don’t think Puppet Master should be trusted so quickly.” She said to herself. She picked up a quill and scroll that was conveniently placed beside the throne and wrote a letter in Griffonian.

‘Dear, Twilight Sparkle

My Faithful Student, it’s come to my attention that Puppet Master has come to give me health potions. I wish for you to update me on the progress of any construction on the side of his castle in four hour intervals. I also would like you to tell me of any suspicious behavior coming from the castle itself. Such as increased creatures defending it or any strange movements of them.

Your Mentor,

Princess Celestia.’

She sent the letter with her magic. However there was a shadow nearby and that shadow was able to read most of the letter. And it too sent a letter of its own.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puppet Master just left the mines to wait in his throne room after talking to Darkness about the airstrip and agreement to offer to Celestia. Darkness was in the storage area gathering pearlstone bricks to place on the side of the castle where the ponies would land and pick up the cargo. Radiant Garden was already tending the farms and creating bottles for more crates.

Suddenly a scroll popped into existence through the corrupt forces in the world above Darkness. He caught it in his hand and quickly broke the seal.

‘Celestia has a spy. Not in our castle but an observer from a distance. I don’t know where the spy is located and I didn’t get a good read of the name because it was written in Griffonian. I know only a limited amount of the language myself but I was knowledgeable in the language well enough to figure out she has an observer of some sort.

Tell Puppet Master with haste.’

Darkness read over the informal letter twice and then quickly made his way up to the throne room. Darkness found his way inside and saw it was empty. He quickly dove down to check Puppet Master’s quarters and when he arrived he wasn’t there either. He then heard talking from the other side of the wall in the room next to his.

Rainbow’s room.

Darkness calmly walked out the door and took a right and opened the door in the room. Rainbow was without her armor on and it was attached to the pony mannequin in the left corner of her room. Rainbow’s attention was quickly brought to the front door when Darkness entered it.

“You need to get back to Ponyville so no one realizes you’re missing.” Puppet Master’s attention was brought to Darkness after Rainbow Dash looked at the door. “Something you need?” He asked.

“Yes I got this letter.” Darkness handed the letter form Shadow Master to Puppet Master.

After reading it he finally said. “We don’t need to worry about the observer. Celestia’s mistrust with me however is something to be concerned with. I was sure I left on a positive note with her. I guess I shouldn’t expect so much from someone who’s been around thousands of years.”

“Celestia’s watching us?” Asked Rainbow Dash.

“Yes. You may go now Darkness. Thank you for bringing this to me.”

“You’re welcome sire.” Said Darkness and he vacated the room.

“Rainbow you need to go back to Ponyville. And if you find anything interesting about what Celestia is doing then come to me and tell me. But don’t rush to me no matter how important the information is ok? I don’t want you to look like you’re going places or something like that.”

“Ok I can do that.”

“Oh and if you can try to press whoever is talking to give you more information if you don’t know enough. But show casual interest so you avoid suspicion ok? Oh and if they ask you why you’re so interested then just say you ‘felt like talking about it.’ Or something along those lines ok?”

“Sure I can do that.” Said Rainbow saluting Puppet Master. “Oh and thanks for telling me more about you.” She said affectionately.

“You’re welcome. If you have any more questions you can ask me at any time no matter what. Just not in front of anyone ok?”

“Fine by me.” She stated heading toward the door. She stopped and turned around when she opened the door to leave and faced me one last time. “Oh and since I’m not going to the Gala with my armor on I’m going to go to Rarity’s to get fitted again. What do you want me to wear?”

I was a little taken back with that question. Normally when a human girl would ask that-not like they would-I probably would say the sluttiest thing I can think of. But Rainbow Dash…isn’t a human and she wanted me to tell her what to wear. I couldn’t help but imagine Rainbow trying to encourage me to cosplay.

“Whatever Rarity can think up I guess.” I said shrugging my shoulders.

“Ok I’ll ask her to make something really pretty. Oh who’s your favorite pony?” She said giving me a sly look.

I smiled and responded. “Her name’s Rainbow Dash, I don’t think you know her.” I said grinning.

“Nope not a clue.” She said and chuckled as she went out the door.

I stood there for a few moments before I followed her out. She was already gone by the time I poked my head out the door. I made my way to the throne room and sat myself down on my throne. I didn’t want to sit there and do nothing so I when I sat down I pulled out the Crystal Storm tome and I began to read the contents of the tome.
