After about a week after the Siege of Icecrown, everything return to normal. Well, almost everything. Some things happened during that week.

First to start with; The Phantom Consortium, The Equestrian Empire, and the Vampony Empire gained some new allies. While the Scourge joined in on the alliance with the Equestrian Empire and the Phantom Consortium, the Watchers became allies to the Vampony Empire. We were lucky to have the Watchers. However; word is that the Watchers were at war with the Sentinels (Another group of Night Ponies, led by Tyrande Whisperwind). Turns out that Maiev and Tyrande have a bad history and were always at each other's throats. However, that is not all. An army of undead ponies came to me after the news of Illidan and Sylvanas' deaths were public. They were Sylvanas' old followers; The Forsaken. They were led by Ranger-General Siren Ghostsong, another Dark Ranger. Unlike Sylvanas, though, she was a unicorn. Leading the Forsaken, they joined the Vamponies and the Watchers. We formed a secret group known as The Hoof of Vengeance. It is an Alliance made between the Vampony Empire, The Watchers, and The Forsaken. It's main purpose was to be used against the Equestrian Empire, should they try something suspicious.

Speaking of other alliances; word got out that the Minotaurish Horde has split up. The Warsong Offense; led by Garrosh Hellscream, led his Minotaurish Horde, and the Old Horde; Led by Thrall. Iron Will left being Warchief but the alliance with the Phantom Consortium remained strong. It is basically a civil war but there has been some factions helping out Thrall and the Old Horde.

As for Lilith, she has been a good mare since the Havoc crisis. And being the Aspect of Sex and Lust, she has been making attempts to reward me for 'helping' her regain control of her prison [Tartarus]. And by 'reward'; I mean she has been attempting to lure me to her place and probably do something... forcefully sexual, if you get my meaning. Anyway; she will never get to me anytime soon with my mates guarding me 24/7.

Anyway, today was the day where me and Charming unlocked our Aspect powers.





Me, Rainbow, Sonata, and Trixie arrived to Ponyville where we are to go to Twilight's Castle. When we arrived, we see the Demented 6, Mane 5, and Charming. We went to join them and I went to Charming. There, in front of us, was the Elements of Harmony and Insanity.

"You ready for this? Once we begin, there is no turning back."

Charming replied "Whatever happens from here, I will accept."

I nodded and we aimed our hooves for the elements.

"We are ready. You may beginning the final test."

The elements began to glow and we began to glow. When we were surrounded by a sphere of energy, the sphere scattered into seven pieces. The sphere disappeared, leaving no signs of Charming and Danny.

Silence...

Rainbow asked "Where did they go?"





2 hours later...

"Where are they?" Twilight asked.

At that moment, the door burst open and they looked, seeing Apple Bloom. She looked like she was running for a while.

Applejack asked "Apple Bloom? What's going on?"

"Sis; Danny and Charming are at Sweet Apple Acres and they are acting different! Charming is being all honest; not even lying a single bit. And Danny; he is being addictive to Vampire Wine and won't stop having some!" Apple Bloom said.

Brutalight added "Why does that sound familiar..."

Twilight shook her head "Take us there, immediately."

Apple Bloom nodded and they began to run out of the castle.
