Talk about a crappy day, car broke down, bad day at work, and above all, I had to walk in the rain, and I didn’t have an umbrella. I was walking in the rain, when I noticed a manhole cover was missing. I walked over to it, looked down, never seen the inside of a manhole, then lost my footing and fell in. I fell for what seemed like an hour, then I stopped hearing the wind whistling past me, like I was suspended in midair. Then a dark voice said, “Congratulation, Eric, you have been chosen to help me, spread chaos and destruction throughout Equestria.”
I folded my arms and said, “Wow, sounds like I fallen into a book of My Little Pony. Sorry, Discord, I’m not going to help you. Now, put me back where I was, I am already having a shitty day.”
A face appeared out of nowhere, it had darkness black skin, a few holes where embers glowed, and blood red eyes. Then it said, “I’M... NOT...DISCORD, and you are going to help me, willing or not.”
Then I felt a burning sensation throughout my body, I looked down to see a chain tattoo wrapping across my skin, like snakes, and my hands and feet turning into hooves. I screamed as loud as I could, from the pain and me turning into a pony After the pain had subsided a mirror appeared in front of me, I had a muzzle where my mouth and nose should be, and had a life-like metal collar tattoo around my neck. I said, as I glared at him with hatred, “Ok, you turned me into a pony, and you know my name, but I still won’t help you.”
He said, as the mirror disappeared, “Guess I have to go more extreme measures.” I was about to ask what he meant, but then a sharp pain came from my head, a dozen pictures of building burning, ponies running and screaming, building crumbling, and a bunch of pictures went racing through my head, then I saw a giant metal door opening and barbed chain flying out. I felt pieces of my body getting torn apart. After that, I opened my eyes, and saw the creature have surprise in it’s eyes, then it said, “I’m impressed, most die at this point or lose their mind.”
I slowly rotated my neck, listening to it crack, then said, “Well maybe the rest are weak, and so are you for choosing them.”
He glared at me, then laughed. After he was done laughing, he said, “First time, I was talked to like that. I’m happy to say, it was a success. Now are you ready to destroy Equestria?”
I smiled and said, “I’ll be ready after you give me a few things.”
He frowned and said, “What things.”
I shrugged, then said, “The ability to control ponies, ponies trust me easily, and a cutie mark that won’t stand out, and an answer. What did you do to me?”
He sighed and said, “Fine, What I did was loosened your humanity and bring your deepest desires forward. You will be able to control ponies with your eyes, and if you need help, just call for Discord, he owes me.”
Then I continued falling, I landed on the ground with a hard thump, I got up, shook myself off, then looked at my body. I had blood red fur, my tail was the color of glowing embers, my cutie mark was of a log with an ax in it, and I didn’t see any chain tattoos on my body. I walked to a puddle and looked at my face, I kept my dark blue eyes, I had a horn, and didn’t see the collar.
I started walking then I remembered what the creature said, I yelled, at the top of my lungs, “Discord, you need to help me.”
Discord popped out of nowhere, with his paws crossed. He said, “First time being called by a random pony. What do you mean I need to help you?”
I looked at Discord, right in the eyes, and said, “Well, the big head said you owe him, and to call on you whenever I need help.”
Discord sighed, and said, “Figures, what do you need help with?
I said, as I stretched out my legs, “He said I would be able to control ponies with my eyes, what does that mean?”
Discord said, as he did weird stuff, “ponies would look into your eyes and be under your control.”
Controlling ponies just by making them looking into my eyes, sounds fun. I walked passed, then turned around and said, “Hey, which pony do you think would be the easiest to trust me.
Discord stroked his beard, and said, “I don’t think there is a pony, that would trust a stranger right off the bat, but the crusaders are easier to talk to. To avoid attention, keep away from Pinkie Pie.”
I nodded, then headed to ponyville. As I walked the streets, I looked at every building, listening to the ponies talk, and nodding to everypony I meet, then I saw Pinkie Pie bounding down the street. I quickly ran it a house, and shut the door. Then I heard a voice say behind me, “What the hell are doing in my house?” I turned around to see the talker was Vinyl Scratch She had her glasses on her forehead. I looked out the window to see that is was definitely her house. I turned back to her, She glared at me while walking towards me. “Are you deaf, I said what the hell are you doing in my --”
I clamped my hoof on her mouth and wrapped my other hoof around the back of her head, to stop her from alerting somepony. I said, as calm as I could, “Vinyl, can you just listen. I only barged in cause I didn’t want to be caught by Pinkie Pie. If she saw me, then she would want to throw me a party, and prefer not being the center of attention, you wouldn’t know what I’m talking about. After all, you are the best DJ in ponyville.”
Her eyes soften and she nodded, saying she understands. I slowly took my hoof away, fearing she was going to yell again, but she didn’t. She said, “I’m sorry I gave you a hard time.” Then she blushed, and turned away. “Thanks for the complement.”
Then I remembered I can control ponies just by making them look into my eyes, why not try it on Vinyl. I said, as I put a hoof on her chin and turned her head towards me, “That wasn’t a compliment, that was the truth. Could you do me a favor, all you need to do is look into my eyes.” She looked into my eyes, and, after a few minutes, I felt her head relax in my hoof. Her eyes became glazed and unfocused. I moved my hoof away, then walked over to her side and waved a hoof in front of her eyes, she didn’t blink, I removed the glasses of the top of her head, she didn’t yell at me, and I levitated he dj equipment and dropped it, no response, I levitated them at the last second and set them down. I said, nervously, “You will do everything I say, even when not in trance, and you will call me master.”
Then she said, in a monotone voice, “I will do everything you say, even when not in trance, and I will call you master.”
I did a little test, I said, “lift your left front hoof and place it down, then lift up your right front hoof and place it down, and then bow until I give you another command.”
Vinyl said, in her monotone voice, “Yes master.” Then raised and lowered her left front hoof, then her right, then bowed.
I smiled and said, “Rise.”
Vinyl rose to her feet and said, “What do you want me to do, Master?”
I said, “Go get me a chair, this will be my base for now.” Vinyl ran out the room, and came back pushing a chair. I grabbed it and sat down. “Vinyl, once you exit this house, you will return to normal, but you will still be under my control. Do you understand?
She stood in front of me and said, “Yes master.”
I said, as I placed her glasses on the top of her head, “Now, go find me a pony that trusts you completely.” She bowed and ran out the door.
