//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 or In which the gods respect Koschei's authority // Story: The Master's Redemption // by anommalcolm //------------------------------// Chapter 9 I was having a lucid dream of the best kind. It was Twilight, Vinyl, and myself laying on a blanket under the stars. There was hard cider. There were delicious candies. There was even, wait for it, SLOPPY ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES!!! I swear the only downside to being a pony is being a herbivore. I miss being able to eat meat. Any way, the mares and I were cuddling, when suddenly, Princess Luna lands right next to us. "Please you have to- Wait, what are you doing with those two?" "These are the only mares I have ever been close to and I dream of being with them forever." "Okaay........ Anyway, I need your help." "With what?" "LUNA! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!" Nightmare Moon landed on the other side of me "I SHALL-Wait what are you doing with those mar-AHHHHHHHHH!" I had smacked her upside the head. "Listen up, maggot! You are not out in a place where you are in control. This is my dream. I, am a very lucid dreamer." "YOU DARE- AHHHHH!" "Shut up, maggot!" I said with wide eyes and a grin. I winked at Luna, then continued."You allicorns may have god-like power, but your minds are like that of ordinary ponies. My mind is that of a time lord. Power here in the dreamscape, is based on the strength of one's mind. I am in charge here." Nightmare actually seemed to have gotten the point. So I turned to Luna for answers. "Why did the elements not destroy her?" "She is an allicorn. She's immortal.They separated us, but she's been haunting the dreamscape ever since. She doesn't have a physical body though." "I see. Alright, maggot, from now on you give the ponies sweet dreams. No more nightmares, or I will kick your flank. Are we clear?" "Yes, sir." "You will address me as Master." "That is very naughty, Master-AHHHHHH" "Shut up, maggot! Not even in your dreams! Understand!" "Y-yes master." ............................ After Nightmare left, I turned to see Luna looking at me. "What?" "Master? Seriously?" "Oi, what is wrong with my name?" "Wait, that's your real name?" "Yes." "Why?" "Time lords often have titles as their name. For example, an old classmate of mine is named Doctor." "Okay." "Yeah." "Well, I gotta go lower the moon see ya bye!" And with that she was gone. I turned back to Vinyl and Twilight. "Where were we?"
