The volume of blood in a goddess is surprising, to say the least.
One could even say their body is 110% highly pressurized blood.
In short, blood was everywhere.
Red blood.
Her eyes melted, her skin tightened until it ripped, every part of her suffered from a painful, horrifying change to death.
I enjoyed it all.
My third kill ever, and I loved it.
The power that was leaving her brought me out of my death scenario and back to the realm of being a ghost.
When Celestia was nothing but bone and blood, I turned to face Luna.
In her eyes was a rage I had never seen before.
“HOW DARE YOU?”
I smiled back at her.
“I am not bound to your orders Princess. YOU FUCK WITH ME AND I FUCK YOU OVER!”
I did a back flip out the window, and landed in the bushes.
I woke up from the impact’s shock to the smell of happiness.
And the sounds of panic as every one of those ponies realized Celestia was dead.
Fortunately, it was morning and Luna’s moonlight spell was not on me, so I simply began the walk to Ponyville.
It was hilarious to see how all the ponies were doing at Ponyville.
The shops closed, massive funeral, and royal guards looking for me.
Ms. Doo was incredibly sad, so I went over to her.
Due to the day, I was not seen.
I placed a hoof on her wing, causing her to instantly panic.
The exact reaction I expected.
I happily left and went into the library.
I took the typewriter and left for the Everfree forest.
I went deep in, all the way to the castle, where I am now, as I type this.
After I updated my journal and organized the papers, I decided to explore the castle.
I found the Nightmare.
Gave it a wide berth.
Eventually I came across a room with a balcony, and only one other way in.
That way was the stairs, and it had a solid wood door that miraculously survived time.
After closing the door, I looked about the room some more.
It was perfectly built to be a library, and was effectively a maze of bookshelves/walls.
I eventually found several signs, a paintbrush, and some old unopened paint.
I opened the paint and found it was a bright red, something I smiled at.
I dipped the brush in the can, and went to each of the signs.
“Bed”
“Balcony”
“Reading”
“Exit”
“Hub”
Then I proceeded to hunt down perfect spots for the signs.
I went to the balcony and set down the “Balcony” sign.
I went to the middle of the room, where all the paths converged, and placed down the sign that read “Hub.”
I went to the exit, and placed “Exit” down.
I went to a nice quiet spot and placed down “Bed”
Finally, I went to a section near “Bed” and set down “Reading.”
Fortunately there were many books there that had survived.
“Why hello there Knifer.”
“Not now Nightmare, I’m busy making myself at home.”
“Turn and face me.”
“Fine, but only for a moment.”
I turned and faced her for a moment, then looked back.
It was Shade.
Shade had Nightmare’s voice.
Shade was Nightmare.
“Shade. Nightmare. Whichever you prefer.”
“Yes?”
“Please leave.”
“Why?”
It was a cute, pleading tone of voice.
“Because I just killed Celestia.”
Her mood improved considerably.
“You did… How would you like to-”
“Whatever you’re selling, I don’t want it.”
“I can send you back.”
I closed my eyes.
“I’m listening.”
“I can send you back to your world the moment after you left, with all the memories of what occurred. I can give you anything you want when you are in your world. Unicorn slave? Check. Giant Pegasus mount? Check. A trillion bucks? Check. All you have to do is let me bring you back to what I made you, and make me an army.”
“I never promised them anything. They never did anything to ensure my allegiance.”
“Correct.”
I thought long and hard about it, and as I made my answer I heard the Devil himself cry tears of sadness.
“I’m in.”
