//------------------------------// // The Elemental Expert // Story: A Good Share of Lives // by Sea Pony //------------------------------// Infinitus nervousely walk in the forest he grew accustomed to visit. He came in face of a small lake in front of it Grim Reaper was silently sitting on a rock while watching the fishes swimming. "Mistress Grim Reaper... I have some bad news. The Equestrian beated the host of our prototype before we could see it full potential." Infinitus didn't like the silence of his mistress but the wolf waited patiently. "These ponies have been nothing but trouble these last few years. First they kill our time traveller, then they imprison a vampire that could have been useful in our rank, then they gave a shard of life to Author, then we learn that Time Skip travelled in time with them to stop us capturing another shard and now they destroy our weapons. It's about time we teach them a lesson. Next summer we will invade their peace loving land and strike fear into them." "How will we do this mistress?" Infinitus ask curiously. "We capture Discord, not only does his soul contain a shard of life. But he's also the strongest magic living thing in all of Equis after The Tree of Harmony, but nobody know of that tree apart the royal family of Equestria." "But why wait to the summer to attack them? Why don't we do it right now?" The giant white wolf ask with a frown. "Because once we capture Discord, Editor will finally be ready to operate and I want to see all the plant life coming back to life myself when Oasis will be reborn." Infinitus smiled at this after all the hard work they would finally have their paradise. In just a few months the council would fall! - - - - - "What is a Dreamer and why did Time Skip call you by my sister's father name?" Yeah I still had difficulty to accept Dream as my father because of how he hurt my family and by the fact that he's one of my own reincarnation. Roxanne sigh before responding. "The Dreamers was the name of a group created by Elder Harmony to bring peace and freedom across Oasis, we also helped to calm down the rebellion of the mortals when they learn they would all be exiled of Oasis because of their excessive wars." She replied, woah so Time Skip helped to create the Veil as we know it today? Hard to believe. "There was six of us Free Dreamer, Gold Dreamer, Honor Dreamer, Power Dreamer, Love Dreamer and me. My name was more normal since I was the only one that came from a normal family. Well as normal as mermaids can be. But after a while the other Dreamers gave me the title of Peace Dreamer so that I could fit in. "Dream probably unlocked some ghost of memories when he entered in contact with the magic of the Veil and he chose his name because of these memories." "You're a mermaid?! But I through they didn't have legs." I blurted out interupting her story. "At first we didn't have legs but something called evolution made us change." She explain as if I didn't know what evolution meant. "Since our species came to depend on the world outside of the water we grew legs over time. We don't swim as fast as before now and we can't breath underwater anymore. But we still swim faster than normal humans and we can survive without breathing for one hour." One hour?! I heard that polar bears could survive for two hours underwater but this was impressive for a creature so close of human beings. "Is it for that I have powers similar to mermaids and sea ponies?" I ask curiously. That would explain some things. "Yes it's in part because of that unfortunately due to your inexperience you are pathetically weak compare to most mermaids of Oasis." "What?! How dare you insult me?" I glare at her, who do she think she is insulting me for no good reasons? The mermaid just glare in response. "If you wanted to live a peaceful life like your sister I wouldn't insult you. But as it is you constantly chalenge the Soul Reapers when you know as well as me that you will get killed as soon as the elites of the organisation set their eyes on you!" "I arleady fough the leader of the trolls! And beside Time Skip choose me to beat the Reapers." I said confidently. "If it wasn't for The Doctor you would be dead right now! And Free Dreamer is a fool. Do you think because he chose you and your sister to protect Equestria that make you some sort of hero chosen by the gods?" "Why do you care if I die or not? If I die you will simply live through the eyes of another pony!" I ask her with a glare. "Tell me one thing. If the Soul Reapers win in the end, what do you think they will do? I will tell you they will imprison the gods in soul catchers or separate their shards in pieces after that they will do the same with the angels. But after that what do you think come closest to the power of the gods and angels once they're gone?" I felt a sinking feeling as I realised where she was going. "I see you caught on. After the council is gone they will attack the elementalistes. And since our reincarnation will be younger than you when that happen she will have no chance to defend herself." I grew silent at this. "So what do you want me to do?" I ask after a long pause. "Since you probably arleady caught the Reapers attention. You need to learn how to control your powers at their full potencial. For that you need a teacher I can't teach you because I never learned anything my family was simply talented to control water since we were born. Fortunately I know somepony who can help." "Who?" I ask now at full attention. "She is not a elementalist herself but she have a really extensive knowledge on anything that have to do with the elemental magic. The bad news is that she went missing for two hundred years." My ears laid flat in disappointment at that. "Then how can I find her if nopony saw her for centuries?" "In the old castle of the Everfree forest in one of the old vault there something call a soul detector once you find it ask Princess Luna to help you find her by giving you a bit of the magic of the elementalist expert. If the rumor is true you will find her in Dream Valley." "But why would Luna know this elementalist expert?" I ask suspiciously. "Let just say she was once for Luna what is Twilight Sparkle to Celestia. Just ask her to help you find the mare called Snowdrop I'm sure she will be happy to help." - - - - - I woke up as soon as my conversation with Roxanne was over. I felt somepony warm and soft cuddling on my back while breathing on my neck. I quietly turn around and blushed when I realised that Golden Pie's face was now a inch away from mine. I noticed we were on the train on our way back to Ponyville. My eyes widden as I realised something. "Sonata! where is Sonata!?" My scream woke Golden with a shriek and Star Secret came rushing in our direction. "Calm down Winter, Sonata is okay and Alexander is taken care of by the griffins royal family." She said reassurely. "Who beat Alexander?" I ask confusion clear in my voice. Star smirk in responce. "Let's just say you weren't destined to grow up in a normal family." She said simply as if it's answered everything. "What about Sonata- mph!" I was cut up in my speech by a very unexpected but not unwelcome pair of lips. Golden Pie smile cutely at me with a small blush as she finish the kiss. "You talk too much." She simply said, during our 'exchange' Star had vanish of the wagon entirely, but my mind was too occupied and blissful to care about it. Golden Pie kissed me a second time and this time I eagerly return it.
