I woke from my slumber again. My punishment by magic law was still active. I growl as I pull myself out of bed.
I light my horn with my limited magic, and start strapping my armor to my body once again.
“I guess I should see if I can scry with my magic sealed as it is.” I say grumbling to myself, as my armor straps to my body. I channel magic into my horn and attempt to power up my crystal mirror.
My mirror slowly flickers back to life, but before an image could be shown my horn sparks and the spell fails.
I grumble in frustration, and try again. I watch my mirror light up once more, and then it slowly focuses on Little Pip’s group.
I see that they are on their way to Splendid Valley to see the leader of the false alicorns.
I already knew Little Pip’s full plan, and I was hoping that the balefire mega spell that was hidden underneath Maripony was strong enough to break, or at least weaken, my bonds to the moon.
“What cha movin around fer?” I hear Calamity ask Little Pip as he flew the young mare to the false alicorn leader.
Before I could get an answer I felt a jolt in my mind from another alicorn… no it was from the leading false alicorn.
I refocused my mirror onto the Maripony Ruins before opening my mind partially to speak with the so called, ‘goddess.’
[WHO ARE YOU TO GAZE UPON US FROM SO FAR AWAY?] The ‘goddess’ asks me.
{I am one of the few remaining true alicorns, but you must listen to me now. Let me speak first before you interrupt so that you can understand.} I say back to the ‘goddess.’
[WHY SHOULD WE LISTEN TO YOU?] She asks in return.
{Because I am ten thousand years old young one, now LISTEN!} I shout to her, causing her to whimper at my voice.
[Very well then, speak.] She says normally.
{I have been watching over the young mare that is entering your home, and I have a request from you. I need you to channel your magic to me so that I may return to right Equestria’s health.} I say to the overpowered unicorn.
[What is in this for us?] She asks me.
{I will heal the land that is dying from the war that you were a part of. I could perfect your unity of alicorns into what is an actual civilization of perfect beings.} I say with my tongue slippery with silver.
[I... okay.] She answers before I feel massive amounts of magic flow from my mirror into my being. The seal inside of me broke, and my magic unleashes. I sigh as my mane returns to an ethereal whisp, and my magic flourishes back to full strength.
{Thank you child, now tell your children to flee their home. There is an undetonated mega spell beneath Maripony.} I tell her as she gleans the information from Little Pip’s mind.
[WHAT?! FLEE MY CHILDREN, FLEE!!!] I hear before I refocus my mirror to look for Little Pip, who is now inside a safe room, with what looks to be a black metal Pegasus golem.
Before I could tell what was going on, my mirror brightens into a bright green flare for a whole minute as the balefire mega spell detonates beneath Maripony.
I wait for the glowing mirror to refocus on Little Pip, but it doesn’t. I sigh before ending the spell, thinking that the balefire cut off my view for a few days.
I cast another spell on myself to check my binds to the moon, and see that they are weakened greatly. I could easily shatter them if I needed to, and I planned on doing so if Little Pip survived the blast.
I end my autopsy spell, and cast a minor sleep spell on myself to pass the time quickly.
I woke a few hours later, and quickly activate my scrying mirror to check for Little Pip.
She’s alive! And she was no less, in danger once more. The tainted magic sludge had gotten into contact with her.
I gather my magic to break the seals keeping on the moon.
“I will not let her die.” I say before my horn flashes brightly, breaking my bonds to the moon.
{[(LEAVE!)]} I hear my moon scream to me.
I end my scrying on Little Pip before launching out through my windows, and towards Equestria to hopefully save the ponies that were surviving on the poisoned soil.
I turn my head back to my moon, and watch as it becomes smaller. It shrinks back into the size of a large beach ball.
I look forward to my home world once more before I raise a shield around myself, and prepare for reentry.
