The group of seven had reached the train station when Twilight suddenly noticed something. “Huh, you know, we certainly got here from where we left off rather quickly. Not that I’m complaining.”

“Well, maybe something else happened somewhere else while that was going on, which was more important.” Pinkie chimed in.

“Well, if that’s the case, then I hope that keeps happening.” Twilight said, with a relieved smile.

After Twilight had walked ahead, Pinkie Pie then just beamed innocently. “Something tells me that it will.”

Stepping on to the platform after they all got their tickets, Black Mage finally spoke up. “So, you said that we’re going to see a ‘Princess Celestia’,” he said, addressing Twilight. “Who’s that, exactly? A Sarah rip-off, who ends up kidnapped every other week and needs heroes to rescue her because she couldn’t fight her way out of a random encounter?”

“Hardly,” Twilight scoffed. “She’s the ruler of Equestria and one of the most powerful entities in the entire world, who moves the Sun itself.”

“What, like Sarda?” BM asked.

“What’s a Sarda?” Twilight asked back.

“An Omnipotent Jackass who sent us out on dangerous missions, even though he could have done it all himself anytime he wanted, and sent you to the Moon if you talked back to him.” Black Mage replied. “…Wait?”

“Pssst,” Fighter leaned over to whisper to Pinkie. “He’s the Wizard That Did It.” Which caused the pink pony to giggle to herself.

“Hey, I just realised something.” BM spoke up again, suddenly raising his hands in the hair. “Now that Sarda’s gone, I can badmouth him all I want without any consequences.” With that, BM took in a big inhale of oxygen. “Sarda is a **** **** who liked to **** his **** with a **** and **** all the **** with a **** and a **** until he had to **** **** sideways. …****.”

A mare passing by had to cover her child’s ears as they were walking passed, due to the swears.

When he was finished, Black Mage beamed more than he ever had before. “Man that felt good – and no repercussions.”

“Unless he used his Omnipotence to look into the future and set this up ahead of time.” Fighter chimed in, stepping up beside Black Mage.

Black Mage was then suddenly struck by lightning out of nowhere. He remained standing upright and he still looked no worse for wear, other than the fact that he was blackened by soot. However, Sarda, being the Omnipotent Jackass that he is, designed the spell to be excruciating painful, despite how it looked from the outside.

“Just because this wasn’t your fault, doesn’t mean I’m not going to blame you.” Black Mage responded casually, despite the unimaginable pain.

Standing just off to the side, Pinkie Pie raised her hoof to her mouth, in thought. “What’s a ****?”

Rarity simply walked up behind her and placed her own hoof on her shoulder. “I’ll tell you when you’re older.”
