Chapter 2: Zalgo the Alicorn

(-- Exactly 12.7 seconds after Shining fainted --)

"Is he alright?"

"He just fainted. He should be fine."

"But Celestia, why is he staying with us? He's dangerous!"

"That's the part I'm not sure about. That's why I'm keeping him here."

"I've made a promise, and I am soul bound not to break it."

Zalgo then simply walked out of the room.

"Much larger than I'd remembered it. Have you redecorated?"

Celestia stared at him, puzzled. He never saw the inside of the castle, much less the castle itself. How did he remember it at all?

"Never mind the question. I'll see it myself."

(-- The Next Day --)

"What are you doing?"

"Meditating. It helps me think."

"Think about what, exactly?"

"It's a spell. A transformation spell I've been thinking about a while now. I think I almost have it."

"A transformation spell? Into what?"

"One of you."

"I don't see why you'd want to look like one of us."

"It's for a disguise, so I can go unnoticed."

"From who?"

"The public."

"Why them? I've heard sister, she said you weren't leaving the castle."

"I've seen them come in and walk out. It's important to disguise myself in the form of one of you."

"I see."

(-- Hours Later --)

"Alright, stand back. This spell requires space."

Zalgo closed his eyes, and the cracks in his body and limbs began to glow brighter and brighter. Smoke began to rise up from the floor, before it all went up in flames. The flames rose over Zalgo, and seemed to engulf him.

"Zalgo, what's happening!?"

His voice sounded distorted, broken when he spoke.

"It is all part of the spell!"

The fire then just seemed to quench from the floor up.

Zalgo now looked more like a stone alicorn. His legs were still detach from the body, only connected by the large, orange orbs planted inside them. While he had no mane, his tail was long and pointy looking. His wings were stone as well, and had the cracks from before. His body had the same carvings, and his horn was jagged. When he opened his eyes, there was no pupils.

"It must have worked. I feel different."

And then he collapsed.
