“I really should have seen this coming.” I sat on a grassy hill, staring at The Gilgamesh as she sat on a larger hill, smoking, and laying on her side slightly. While the engine worked fine at first, as soon as we started seeing signs of civilization off in the distance it gave out and stopped fueling the rotary system. That lead to the entire ship plummeting into the ground and crashing. The impact ended up causing the ship to be damaged along the sides, the engine to rupture from what Ed told me about the readings, and for some minor fire damage on the interior. “I mean really. I can’t believe that I managed to overlook the fact that rather blatant damage must have happened over the past 1500 years.”
I chuckled a little to myself and felt a smile grow upon my face. “I guess I still can get a little overexcited about the old girl now, can’t I?”
A moment later, Ed came out from the ship’s cargo bay and was holding onto several bags of building equipment and was pushing The Psycho, one of my smaller modes of transportation, out of the wreckage. “I was able to salvage most of it Captain, but we’ll definitely need to fix the main and sub engines if she’s going to fly again. We’ll need to fix the other vehicles that were on board as well. As for equipment the Grappling hooks are fine, and so are some of The Insidious and The Eagles. As for ammo, some of the incendiary rounds were what caused most of the fires, and a few concussive and corrosive rounds went off as well.”
Steve pointed at the ship and had a slightly panicked look in his eyes. “But what about my kitchen!? What happened to my station of solitude!?”
Ed shrugged. “Don’t know. Didn’t check it. But judging by where it’s located on the ship, it should be fine.” Steve let out a sigh of relief. I couldn’t help but chuckle a little. Even though they don’t even have any lungs, they all still sigh, gasp, and sometimes Steve makes this garbled strangled noise when he’s overly frustrated. It baffles me, but I decided it’s a nice touch to their behavior. Makes them seem more like a real, flesh and blood person.
Boris and Victoria were sitting off to my right playing tic tac toe in the dirt. Boris was glaring down at the small patch they had cleared for their game, while Victoria was sitting calmly and holding a stick. Victoria put down an “O” and handed the stick over to Boris who quickly put down an “X” below it, blocking a win. “HA! Beat that!”
Victoria put an “O” in the center and dragged the stick diagonally across the grid. “I win.” Boris looked at the grid in disbelief before throwing his arms up in the air and shouting. Victoria rolled her eyes and looked at him. “Oh, don’t be so dramatic. It’s only Tic Tac Toe.”
I let them squabble for a little as I addressed Ed again. “What’s the status of the engines? I’ll need to know how bad it is before I can make repairs.”
Ed grimaced as he pointed over to the ship. “I think you should see for yourself Captain. She’s in a right sorry state.” I got up and nodded.
Before I left though, I shouted over at Boris and Victoria. “Boris, quit pulling your sister’s hair. Victoria, quit antagonizing him into doing it.”
The two of them stopped their impromptu wrestling match before sighing and letting each other go. “Yes dad...” I smiled at them with a small nod of approval, then began to make my way into the ship.
I moved through the Cargo bay and I could see what Ed said about the ammo was true. A whole crate of the ruby bullets I had developed to hold draconic magics had been destroyed and there were scorch marks all around it’s former resting place. The box of Emerald bullets had been burst open as well, and the puddle of acid on the ground had eaten away at the floor a good two inches deep before it finished it’s reaction. “Okay, list. Lumber, Rubies, Emeralds, some Dragon Fire, Brass poles, Copper wire,” I paused and looked over at the other vehicles. Some had deteriorated from time, while the rest were broken from the impact, “add some Iron and find some carbon until I can get the forge working again, as well as some form of ignition source."
I walked past all the damage and opened a door that lead further into the ship. It was a little hard getting down the slanted hallway, but I eventually managed to get to my work station and headed inside. The workshop was a mess as well, mainly because all of the small parts that lined the shelves had fallen down. I ignored this for the moment and opened a small hatch in the floor before I began going down the ladder that it revealed. The corridor I entered at the bottom of the ladder was fairly dark, and was lit with a light blue glow. I frowned and quickly made my way to the engine to see how it was doing, before I stopped dead at what I saw.
The crystalline engine I had developed had certainly done a number on itself over the past 1500 years. It was originally designed to utilize the crystallized magic of the natives to create energy, as the amount produced by a crystal had been measured to grow exponentially by it’s size during my experimentation with them. The only problem is with the increase in power there also was the decrease in stability. If a gem that was larger and had more power was left unused, it would expand and crystalize the surrounding magic that was in the air due to it’s own instability forcing it to do so. The process never got faster or slower, but it was constant and still there none-the-less.
In the engine room there was one main reactor in the center, that fueled the main rotors, and several other smaller reactors that ran all other major and minor functions of the ship. Namely decreasing its overall weight to allow flight through Pegasus magic, and the auxiliary rotors that were used to turn and move. Over that 1500 year timeframe, however, the solitary forty cubic foot blue crystal that was inside the main reactor had expanded greatly and the pure crystallized Unicorn magic had punctured through the main hull in several places. The smaller reactors weren’t much better, but only a third of them had suffered the main reactor’s fate. The rest were either on the brink of salvageable, or perfectly fine with the crystals having gone out from depleting the magic stored before decomposing into silicon dust.
I sighed and broke a piece of crystal from the main reactor. I turned it over in my hands, feeling the warm magic inside slowly start fading. “Well, looks like I’ll have to rebuild you completely.” I took off my hat and sighed as my messy brown hair shifted through my fingers. “This is going to take a while.” I dropped the crystal and it shattered into dust when it hit the ground.
I donned my hat again and walked back out of the ship. I walked over to Steve and Ed, who were sitting next to a fire setting up a skillet so that Steve could have something to do. It’s probably for the best as well, considering I haven’t eaten anything besides a loaf of bread all day. “There you go Steve. Now you have something to work with when lunch pulls around.”
Steve gave Ed a thumbs up and started heading for the ship. “Thanks Ed. Now I’m going to head inside and see what still is edible. Can’t have Invention getting sick on us.”
I cleared my throat and got their attention as I sat down next to Steve. “While that’s all fine and dandy, I actually have something for the both of you to do.” I looked over at Ed and smirked. “Ed, I need you to clear out as much of that crystal in the main reactor as you can using the Crystal Cutters. We can start cleaning the sub reactors after we manage to fix that one and get the ship airborne again. I also want you to salvage and repair as much of the mechanics as you can. You recorded how it was all built so it should be easy for you.”
I turned to Steve and pointed over at Boris and Victoria. “Steve, I need you to keep watch over them and get them some fuel once Ed clears out that crystal. Any extra crystals I want stored securely and safely. We need to make sure they last so that you all will be able to refuel or that they could be used in an emergency.” Steve and Ed both nodded with exaggerated salutes before Steve went over to the kitchens, and Ed ran towards the engine room.
I nodded to myself a little before heading to Boris and Victoria. They’d stopped fighting by now and were back to playing Tic Tac Toe. “Boris, Vicky,” they both turned to face me, “I’ll be headed out for a little bit to get what we need to fix up the ship. If anything bad happens, you are to listen to Steve. If you can’t stay with the ship for any reason, run into town and find me as fast as possible. Got that?”
Boris grinned and stood up. “Sure thing Dad!”
I smiled and poked his nose. “That also means no pranking Steve, Boris.”
Boris let out a disappointed groan and dramatically leaned back to emphasize his displeasure. “Aaaaaawwwwwwwwwww.......”
Victoria was less enthusiastic. “Do you have too?”
My smile saddened a little as I looked at her. “Yes, Vicky, I do. We don’t have the amount of metal needed to fix any of the most important parts at the moment. I’m just going to head into town, and get some raw materials.” I stood back up and walked over to The Psycho. “Now head inside and be good you two. I’ll be back by sunset.”
Boris cheered up immediately and waved at me as he ran into the ship. “Bye Dad!”
Victoria waved as well before she started following Boris. “Be safe!”
I tipped my hat back and smiled goofily. “I’ll see you later kids! And I meant what I said about the pranks Boris!” As soon as they were inside I pulled the Psycho with me down the hill. The wheels were thankfully unlocked, and the frame of the body seemed fine. I checked the engine for a quick moment before I opened the fuel tank. “Well that figures.” It was bone dry. That meant I would have to find some crystallized magic so I could put it through the processing chambers and actually get moving. Or I could use some natural minerals and gems due to everything having some ambient magic in them, though it’d last for a much shorter time.
I looked off to the side and noticed that there was a small alcove in the next hill, and some gems were glistening in the ambient light. “Well, gems it is. I’ll have to remember to come back here later. Save me some money just digging for more gems rather than buying them.” I paused and chuckled. “That is... if I had any money to save.” I slid down the hill and entered the alcove quickly. A few minutes of pulling gems out of the dirt and rock later, and I had a few rubies and quartz along with some sapphires. “This should do for about.... a good two hours of driving.” I took the gems with me back to my bike and lifted the seat to open a different hatch that revealed two grinding wheels that were coated in fine spikes. I quickly put the first of the gems in, and started cranking a small handle that came out the side, groaning as I strained to turn the metal winch. “I should have made this thing bigger... the leverage is needed greatly.”
Even though I had to muscle my way through the first gem for about an hour, it was worth it by the time I was done. once I had ground the first ruby completely, a red paste had traveled into the fuel chamber. It slowly started to let off a red smoke and melted into a crimson liquid after about three seconds of air exposure. This was something that was unique to the gems that resided in Equestria. If they were eaten or crushed into a form of paste with the use of a small amount of liquid and a grinder, they liquidated into a highly combustible and flammable substance. Perfect for not only fueling a Dragon’s fiery breath, but also a standard combustion engine as a substitute for gasoline. Less fuel emissions than fossil fuels as well! Though for some strange reason when the gems were ground enough to be a fine dust, the liquidation didn’t occur when a liquid was added and the dust could still hold magic to a very minor degree.
I flipped the cover to the engine closed, and switched on the ignition. The engine roared to life and I started putting the rest of the gems into the now automated grinder. While I normally avoided mixed fuel, this would have to be an exception. “This is going to be hell on the engine, but I can fix up the damage this is going to cause after I get one of the other bikes into working order. She’ll still run for a little while.”
As soon as the last crystal was finished, I closed the grinding hatch and lowered the seat back over it. I hopped onto the bike and started heading for the small village I had seen before we crashed. “Let’s hope that the posters haven’t been broken out yet.”
(Train to Ponyville)
The six passengers onboard the train car were silent as they sat next to each other. They were either glancing occasionally at anything in the room, or staring off into space in thought. Only one passenger broke this stigma, as she desperately tried to stay awake. “Pinkie.”
The pink pony looked at Rainbow and smiled. “Yeah Dashie?”
Rainbow was slowly leaning forward before she bolted up and slapped herself in the face. “Keep talking. I need your help staying awake.” The pink pony beamed a little before stopping and tapping her chin in thought of what to talk about. Rainbow groaned and looked over at Twilight, who was muttering to herself. “Twilight, are you sure that I can’t have anything to help me wake up? This sucks worse than when I broke my wing.”
Twilight jolted a little out of her thoughts and looked over at Rainbow. “Huh wha? Oh, sorry Rainbow, but it wouldn’t help anyways. Whatever you breathed in was laced with Sleeping magic, and it forces any who are affected to become drowsy by sapping away at their mental energy. But like I said, it will wear off eventually though.” Rainbow groaned before faceplanting into the table and caused every pony to stare at her for a moment. They all sighed as a soft snore came from the pegasus.
Pinkie crossed her hooves and pouted. “Drat. I was just about to say something too.”
Rarity took this as a moment to put her thoughts out. “Girls, I’m sure you’ll all agree, but I don’t know what to think about what happened today.”
Applejack nodded in agreement. “Me neither Rarity. First we hear from Princess Celestia that this Invention feller is a dangerous criminal, then Princess Luna tells us all about how he was a thief. Next thing we know we’re in a chariot, next to an airship that accordin’ ta Twilight shouldn’t have been able to fly at all, with the same feller taking out the guards like it was nothing and he just let us all leave when he was done. Plum don’t make any sense.”
Fluttershy hid a little behind her mane. “Well.... he did ask politely for them to leave... I don’t think he wanted to fight. He even said so when he gave back Rainbow.”
Twilight shivered slightly as she remembered the strange sensation of her magic coming into contact with the inventor. “Fluttershy has a point, but I still don’t get it.” She looked out the window, watching the scenery fly by. “Just how was he able to make all of that and how did it all even work?”
Applejack tipped her hat back as she looked at the lavender unicorn. “That’s another thing. Just how wasn’t it possible Twilight? Ah mean here we are in a train homeward bound, and it don’t run on no magic. It’s got a good old steam engine pullin’ us along right now.”
Rarity nodded. “I have to agree with Applejack dear. It does fall into the realm of possibility.”
Pinkie nodded rapidly before she wore a confused smile and looked at Twilight as well. “Yeah, I mean, you did react a little over dramatically when you saw it Twilight. You were all like, GASP! IT FLIES!”
Twilight shook her head and sighed before turning back to the others. “My reactions aside, Pinkie. While it is possible to make a ship that runs on steam like these trains do, the coal required to heat up the water would have caused the ship to flood with Carbon Monoxide if not vented properly and it would weigh the ship down immensely. There wasn’t a single vent on the ship’s body, nor did any steam rise out. It didn’t even have any trouble ascending like most steam powered ships do, and it was larger than the biggest one ever made by pony hooves. The only other way to fuel a ship like that without causing any emissions or weight gain would be through some form of magic.”
Applejack scratched her head. “Ah thought the Princesses said that there was no magic in ‘im? How’d he do all that fancy fightin’ then?”
Twilight shuddered and looked back at the table again. “I could tell when he touched my magical field when we got Rainbow back, that there wasn’t an ounce of magic in him. It was as if he was a void in the ambient magic of the world.” She looked up at the others and showed her fear to them. “What terrifies me though, is that I have absolutely no idea how he managed to do what he did. He has no magic, yet he was able to not only put a sleep spell on Rainbow, but did the same to half the guard and froze the rest with only minor frostburn being the most severe result. What he was doing, defied almost all the laws of magic.”
Pinkie tapped her chin and suddenly started to beam. “What if he was using something like my party cannon?”
Everyone paused to look at the pink mare. “Huh?”
Pinkie grinned as she pulled her cannon out of her tail. “My Party Cannon! What if he was launching the spells out of that cool looking sword of his after collecting all the magic from the guards then sent it out like how I launch awesome parties from my Party Cannon? He was all going all, Swish slash pow the whole time so why not!?” The pink mare beamed as she finished her idea and awaited her friends responses.
Rarity looked at her friend wearily. “Darling, I’m not sure that’s what was occurring on that ship. When he put all those guards to sleep I could have sworn I saw gems being launched. Not magic spells. The doctors that looked over Rainbow and the guards said that there were traces of Lapis dust of all things in her nose.”
Twilight stopped pondering for a moment and looked up. “Gems...” She looked at nothing as her eyes darted back and forth. “Gems are possible to be used as mediums... what if he put the spells in the gems?... no, that would require the help of a unicorn who knew the spell... or would it?...” Twilight let out a frustrated groan and planted her hooves on her head. “AHH! There are just too many unanswered questions!”
Rainbow groaned from the table. “Stop talking so much... Too tired... I was having a nice dream of popping that Invention guy in the face for... gassing me...” Her snores returned and she rolled to the side slightly, leaning onto Applejack.
Fluttershy mumbled a little. “Um... besides all of the uh, scary things he did... I kinda think that he looked.... different.” She hid behind her mane some more. “Not that I mean anything by it, I just thought humans would look different.”
Applejack tapped her chin. “Well.... Ah’d say he was about as tall as Princess Luna... maybe Princess Celestia if ya took his hat into account.”
Twilight’s horn glowed as she smiled a little. “I got it.” A piece of paper and a quill teleported to her and she started writing. “I’ll write down everything we know about Invention. Then we can see if we can find out just what he did to cause all that we saw.” Twilight started to mumble to herself as she wrote. “Approximately five and a half foot tall... brown hair atop the head... small blue eyes... able to defy magical laws...”
The remaining four ponies sighed as Twilight started to ramble various trivial facts that she had seen before joining Rainbow in the land of dreams.
Stop reading overnight, finish in morning, and get a chapter for my patience.
EDIT: I found three errors.If you can’t stay witeh thathe ship for any reason, there's two.eventually thought. Took me a bit to refind that one.4091076 Inception!
4091072 Patience brings it's own rewards.
I kinda the like the ideas of Enemies of Equestria being misunderstood. Good chapter man, hope to read more.
I really like it when you update the story, you really know how to make the guy's inventions sound interesting.
Hmm… only three days after? You are working HARD! I like this pace! But… maybe you rushed a wee bit…
i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/544/082/92a.gif
I don't mean to offend, or come off as an asshole for that, but maybe a proofreader would help some. Just to avoid this problem in the future. Ah, well… TIME FOR MORE TRIGUN!
" It was as if he was a void in the ambient magic of the world."
Now I want to play KOTOR 2.
4091415 Ah WOOOPS..... Didn't see that. Thank you for spotting that. It's fixed now.
Still waiting for a Anti-Everything-Chainsaw....For resource gathering........Kinda like the plasma cutter from dead space,It can quite easily be made INTO a weapon,But that isnt the intended use
4091586
Oh, the Anti-Necromantic Cadaver Splitter? That is a fine weapon indeed.
I think you meant to say 'though', and 'faceplanting' is two words. nevertheless, great chapter.
4092041 *Rolls eyes* Okay, while I agree with the first one due to my keyboard being a piece of crap, the second thing could go either way. It's just how some people write it.
4091465 You also didn't see that mentioning ammo without having a reference point previous to it is incredibly awkward. It doesn't really fit. NOW APOLOGIZE TO GRAMMAR NAZI! YOU MADE HIM CRY!
4092090 .................................................. did you forget that he fired guns in the previous chapter? You know, those things that used bullets?
4091810
4091586
Don't worry my good fellows. There is an invention that I have planned that would fit this wish of yours. Just not immediately.
4092103 No I didn't. The problem is, that he went to inspect ammo, and referenced a conversation that wasn't there. You don't go to the ship to check to engine and suddenly start inspecting the ammo, after all. Hold on a tic, I'll show you what I mean.
4092103
And suddenly, ammo. The dialogue wavers all over the place like you suddenly remember something you didn't talk about and you feel you need to address it right away. We didn't need the long dragging commentary on the state of the ammo, we knew something went off and lit up the cargo bay. You should've waited to talk about the ammo when it was about to be used, rather than checking up on it on the way to the engine. You could've done it better, and had your character tell 'Ed' he was going to check up on the ammo on the way to the engine. And why do you keep continuing this? What happened to the cat story? I liked that one.
Hm, this Gem World-building thing?
I'm stealing it and then changing it slightly.
Good artists copy, great artists steal and make it their own, eh?
Anyway, I really love this fic and the effort you put into explaining how all of this is working. This is something that I love when it is done in a fic.
Can't wait for more
Edit: Wait. Solid Gems liquify if they were first crushed into paste.
How do you crush a gem into paste? I though you can only turn it into dust...
4092248 Damn. I didn't notice that... Sorry, a section got left out from the transfer to the site from Gdocs. I'll fix that really quick. The section that got left out was
Damn it Google.
*Edit* Google docs really hated anything that referred to water for some damn reason. I just found and fixed another spot in the same paragraph that it removed the word "liquid."
4092607
Well, that explains everything...
Hold on, I have a sudden urge to yell LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!
4092699 sadly, so did I. SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
4092724
YAHTZEE!
*Awkward Silence*
4092792 I'm sorry but I had this pop into my mind when you said that.
M&C (Mistakes and Corrections)
(Optional)Then we'll see OR Then we will see(optional) just what he was did to cause all that we saw.
ladder perhaps?
Cool chapter, though I've got to ask, how did he make the bots so lifelike?
(P.S I'm horrible at english)
4092830 on the first, it was meant to be the second. As stated in a previous comment, Goggle Documents sucks. On the second, that was just me being dumb.
As for the robots being lifelike, that will be explained in a later chapter.
From what I've seen Invention is not only my favorite out of the LOHAV but also the most baddass
Oh, Twilight...

YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!
Didn't you just say that the reactors had been sorta ruined by crystallized magic? Why couldn't he have just taken some of that?
4094859 the problem is that the gems that have that magic are now unuseable, and I am betting that he cannot just grind them down because that will either release the excess magic apon grinding(possibly explosive) or he simply doesn't have the means to grind those spicific crystals, we ARE talking about special crystals that have been enchanted.
excuse me but i do not remember any discriptions of how each individual robot(yes, i know it is the incorrect term, couldn't think of what the correct term was) looks like, besides vague discriptions of one of them, and their names.
4094859 They were ruined because the crystallized magic expanded due to lack of use. When being used as a power source, the size is allowed to remain constant as the power is being circulated through more than just itself. Leaving it alone has the same kind of effect as a short circuit in an electronic device. More importantly, when an over sized mass of crystallized magic is broken by force, it decomposes into silicon dust. Invention is trying to get his ship moving as fast as possible, and cutting out the crystal would take too much time. He left that task to Ed, so he could go gather materials to build a new reactor.
4095545 This is sort of a yes and no. You are actually correct on both fronts in a way. The over expansion of the crystals has indeed made it to where he could not grind them down, for they would decompose into Silicon before they got there, and if they didn't they most definitely would explode. However, that does not mean he can't grind them, but not due to them being enchanted crystals. They are made from PURE Magic that has been forced into a state of solid mass. Grinding smaller ones will force the smaller collections of crystal to do the same as a standard gem with less residue left behind, but if a larger crystal were to be used, the magics would rapidly return to an ethereal state and move in every possible direction resulting in a big boom.
4095548 I actually did that on accident, but I have a plan to fix that. Please wait for the next chapter.
Twilight and her B)*&cking magic laws but hey if see is the element of magic Then why cant she explain the magic IN YO FACE TWILIGHT
4097362 While Twilight is the Element of Magic, yes, she still only knows what pony society knows of magic. Invention performed his own studies on magic with the knowledge of magic as it is known in legend on Earth, and probably could teach her a thing or two.
Just a quick question. Have you ever read the book Leviathan?
4097415 Still In ya face twi it took me 10 mins to spell her name damm mind so wheres my fuffy cat?
4098888 Fool. I READ THE WHOLE TRILOGY!
Good read, but how is he able to place enchantments on the crystal bullets?
Like, Twilight said he is a void of magic, so he wouldn't be able to create an enchant without some sort of outside help... Or a giant magical enchant printing press...
4100570 As always, I will explain this in a later chapter. Like when he is making some new ones so everyone can watch the process of making a magic bullet without actually needing to be able to use magic.
Any idea how the money system works in mlp is it every 10 copper bits to get a silver bit? and every 10 silver bits 1 gold?
heres your quest of the day Bring me an horn of the minutar and an eye of the basilisk or the lizard chicken thing and recive 20 gold bits
4105084 I'm pretty sure that the bit system would work around some method like that, so I use just what you put as my cannon system. 1 Copper = 1 Penny, 1 Silver = 1 Dime, and 1 Gold = 1 dollar. I go the extra mile and have a gold bit with a single, small, red gem in the side being worth 10 gold bits, two small gems equaling 100 gold bits, and a Gold coin that has three gems being worth 1000 gold bits. That would make having a small coin purse being worth so much, more realistic in the realm of Equestria.
So the system I just stated works as follows and will probably be mentioned in the next chapter:
$0.01 = Copper Bit
$0.1 = Silver Bit
$1 = Gold Bit
$10 = Gold Bit w/ red gem
$100 = Gold Bit w/ 2 red gems
$1000 = Gold Bit w/ 3 red gems
$10000 = Gold Bit w/ Princess engraving and 1 white gem
The last one would be considered a "Royal Bit" and would make the average pony drop everything and stare at whoever has it. The only way to ever obtain a "Royal Bit" Would be through either theft, or a blessing from the princesses themselves. The reason for that would be because any sort of project funded by the princesses is taken into high regard and receives an equal amount of funding.
Now as for that quest... I'll see what I can do. $20 bucks ain't much, but it's something. Besides, the Minotaur horn isn't going to be that hard as they shed their horns every ten springs. I just got to head east for a good two hundred miles past the border. The second thing though, you'll have to make up your mind or I'll just bring you both a Basilisk eye, AND a cockatrice eye.
4105344 skratch the eyes give me a hydra head and getting a hydra head is hmm how should i say it... Complex
and the hydra head is hmmm 2 gold bit w/ 3 red gems
4105378 $2020 worth of equestrian bits... I'd take you up on that offer. Hydra head, and a Minotaur horn, coming right up.
Doesn't he have some sort of enchantment on him that allows him to build anything? Thus he does have magic, but he can't control the enchantment that lets him build anything.
4109362 No actually, he doesn't have an enchantment on him that let's him build anything. All that has happened to him, is that his body's natural magic from just being alive was concentrated into his left eye. This both blinded him in that eye, and made every fact of how the world worked known to him.
4109461 Well, that's certainly confusing.
4100404 sweet, so have I, i just wanted to know. I loved/Hated the ending
4109592 Think "Norse God Odin." It should explain the eye bit.
4109953 Same.
4110129 ETA on next chapter?
