Chapter 35
Chapter 35
The first time I woke up, I was in so much pain, I begged whoever was near to make it go away. It felt like my entire body was on fire, burning away from the inside out. My muscles were throbbing and my bones felt like they were on the verge of breaking.
“It hurts! It hurts! Make it stop! Please, make it stop!” was about all I could say. The doctors decided that a medically induced coma would be the best option. I can only imagine what that must have done to Celestia.
The second time went much better. I could tell I was in the royal infirmary on my special bed. I could also tell I wasn’t alone. Celestia had had a second bed wheeled in and lined up next to mine. This way, she could be here when I finally came out of it. She was asleep, since it was the middle of the night, and had a wing draped over me.
I couldn’t help myself. Even though my… everything was stiff from being in bed too long, I reached up and stroked her feathers. Finding one out of place, I plucked it.
“Mmph… ah… thank you, Honey. That feather’s been… Chris?!” Her head shot straight up and she looked into my eyes. Tears began to flow down her face and she wrapped me in a hug.
“Hurgh… too… tight,… still… hurt…” I wheezed.
Celestia lessened her vice-like grip. “Oh, I’m sorry, Honey. I’m just so happy you’re awake.”
It was then that I noticed the bags under her eyes and the tears in them. She obviously hadn’t been getting enough sleep in the last… “how long was I out? It feels like years with how stiff my back is.”
“Two weeks,” Celestia told me as she fluffed my pillow. “You had us all so worried.”
“I’m sorry about that. I never meant to scare you.”
“Shh… stop all that. We’re all just glad we got you back. Guard, please go tell my sister and anypony else who is still awake about the happy news.”
The night guard saluted and galloped off to follow his orders. Ten minutes later and my personal ward had become a lot more cramped. Not that I minded in the least. Even if you excluded the two weeks I was out, I hadn’t seen my friends in family for over a week. Now I had Luna, Twilight and Bunny keeping me company.
“Nephew, I am overjoyed to see you awake. I was unable to even see you in your sleep and have been missing your company.”
“I’ve missed you too, Aunt Luna,” I told her around Celestia’s head. She seemed to be unable to release me. “You too, Twilight, Bunny. Oh, and I want to see little Fluffy Butt here first thing in the morning.”
Bunny giggled, “yes, your highness.” She sealed her humor with a deep bow.
“Good. Now, if Mom could let me go, I would really like to stand up. I need to stretch every muscle I’ve got.” Celestia finally let go of me and stood beside the bed, allowing me to use her to stabilize myself. The other mares went to that side of the bed too out of decency, my gown didn’t have a back on it.
Slowly, I slid to the edge of the bed and sat there for a few moments, making sure my legs still worked. With one hand on Celestia’s back and the other on Luna’s, I managed to stand up. Carefully, I lifted my hands but kept the outstretched for balance.
Once certain I wouldn’t collapse, I raised my hands up and stretched. First my arms and then my legs, being rewarded with a series of pops and cracks. Then came the back, only this time, I got something different from simple noises. “*Fwomph* huh?” I looked back and saw a set of very large and, if I do say so myself, very handsome wings. They were pearly white with dark blue accents similar in fashion to Cadence’s. “Uh, why do I have wings?”
Celestia placed a hoof on my chest. “Umm…you may want to sit back down, Sweetie.”
*****
“Dead? B-but that can’t be. I mean, I feel fine.”
“Tell me, Nephew, what is the last thing you remember before waking up here?”
“Well, Willow, Trixie and I had just managed to make it out, but only Trixie managed to get away. Willow and I had gotten captured and dragged back inside the hive and hauled before the queen. I was tied up and Willow was taken to be… Willow! Is she alright?”
“You were the only non-changeling we found in the hive,” Twilight informed me.
“No, she was a changeling. She was the one who got Trixie and I out. The queen said she was going to ‘re-educate’ her for it.”
“We have all of the changelings captured being held in the dungeon. We can search for her later,” Luna assured me. “Now, please continue.”
“Alright. So, because my hands were bound behind my back, I was able to reach the dagger you gave me, Bunny. I managed to get my hands loose, and stabbed the queen. After that… after that…” I felt at my chest where the spear had been. Tears began to well up in my eyes at the memory of it. “The last thing I remember was seeing you float down through the ceiling.”
Celestia hugged me again, tears in her eyes once more. “I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. If I had only gotten there a little earlier, none of this would have happened.”
I stroked her mane and ignored the tears dripping down my back. “No, it’s not your fault. You got there as fast as you could. Besides, if it weren’t for you and Aunt Luna, I would still be waiting in limbo for my final judgment.”
“Christopher is correct, Sister. None of this was your fault. Besides, now that he had been given some of your lifeforce, it is like he truly is your son.”
Celestia stopped sobbing instantly. She raised her head in realization. In a very real since, that was true. She had literally given life to her son. A smile spread across her face. “If that is true, then does that make you his father, Luna?”
“He does have my eyes. Well, one eye at least.”
“Huh? What are you talking about?” I asked. Bunny floated a small mirror over to me. When I looked into it, I saw that my eye color had changed. One eye was magenta, like Celestia’s, while the other was cyan, just like Luna’s. “How about that. Makes you wonder what else has changed.”
“Yes indeed, but that can wait for later. For now, you need to get your rest, Chris. You too, Princess.”
“Yes, you’re right, Twilight. And now that I know Chris is out of danger, I think I finally can rest. Good night, Honey, I’ll see you bright and early in the morning”
“Alright, Mom, see ya then. And, Bunny, I’d better see Cotton in here first thing.”
“I don’t think she would forgive me otherwise. Good night, Chris.”
“Good night everypony.”
After everypony left, I tried to get some more sleep, which is difficult after having been asleep for two weeks. I did manage to fall asleep, but it was not a pleasant rest. All night long, I was seeing a spear and a laughing changeling queen. Over and over, the spear was thrust into my chest while Chrysalis cackled. Each time, both got larger and the laughter got louder.
I was woken up by Luna. She was shaking me awake and had a near desperate look in her eyes. “Christopher! Please, wake up!”
As soon as I could see who it was that had roused my, I couldn’t help but throw my arms around her and cry into her fur. “Oh, Luna, I’m so glad it’s you. All I could see was Chrysalis, and… and…” I buried my face into her fur again, soaking it with tears.
“Hush now,” she told me in a soothing tone. “The nightmare is gone, the queen is locked away and her magic sealed, and you are home with your family and friends. Nopony here will ever do you harm.”
We stayed like that for a long time. It was as if Luna were a buoy in shark-infested waters. I just didn’t want to risk letting her go and having the nightmare return.
The next morning, my friends were all there, Celestia and Luna as well. Most importantly, little Fluffy Butt was there. I couldn’t stop playing with her, her laughter bringing me more joy than I’ve had in a month. I would toss her high into the air and catch her. I tickled her soft tummy. I even simply held her in my arms. All the while, I was doing my best to ignore Luna telling Celestia about the previous night and my nightmare.
“…and I could not enter. Sister, you know how difficult it can be to enter his dreams normally, but this was different. It was almost as if I was being actively repelled.”
“I see,” Celestia pondered what her sister had just told her. She couldn’t help but smile a little, despite the troubling information, at the sight of me enjoying myself.
“And not only that, but his strength has increased dramatically as well. It was almost as if he had the strength of an earth pony.”
“Really?” Luna now had Celestia’s complete attention. “Earth pony strength, wings… you don’t suppose he has become some sort of alicorn-human hybrid,… do you?”
“I could not say, Sister. If he had control over magic, I would say yes with absolute certainty. However, it would seem as though that were the case. Especially when you consider he has our lifeforce flowing through his body.”
“Hmm… if it’s true, then Chris would be the first male alicorn since Father passed.”
“It is intriguing. I shall summon the doctors to do a scan immediately.”
“Good idea. Oh, and Luna?”
“Yes, Sister?”
“Inform the guards that no spears, pikes or halberds shall be permitted within the palace for the foreseeable future.”
Fifteen minutes later, four of the on-call doctors had arrived in the room and begun their work.
“Your highness, this would be a lot easier if you would put the filly down.”
“What do you think, Fluffy? You ready to get down?”
“Never!” Cotton Tail cried out.
“You heard her. The kid stays,” I instructed as I tickled her again. “Now, please continue.”
“Very well,” the doctor wanted to argue, but he had been working in the palace long enough to know better. “Alright, doctors, all together now.” I could feel their magic flowing throughout my body. I never liked the feeling. It felt too much like some sort of invasion. Just one more reason I was happy to have my magic immunity.
Thankfully, it wasn’t a long process. Shortly after they began, the doctors had finished their scan. They all looked back and forth between each other as if to try to verify that they were actually getting the right answer. Once they had come to an agreement, they walked over to the princesses and discussed something with them.
Celestia and Luna thanked them for their prompt work and excused them from the room. Once they were gone, Celestia came over to me. I sat up on the bed and made room for her.
“The doctors have shared with us some… interesting news. It would seem that, since Luna and I shared some of our lifeforce with Chris, he has gained some of our abilities. That is the reason he has wings and pronounced strength.”
“Does that mean that he has magic too?” Twilight asked.
“Indeed,” Luna confirmed.
“The doctors also informed us that, although it is a slim possibility, it may just be possible for Chris to have foals of his own.” Celestia only just managed to hide her smile at the thought of having a bunch of grandfoals running around the palace.
“Oo-ooh, I could teach him to fly! I’ll have him flyin’ better than the Wonderbolts in just a couple of weeks!” Rainbow Dash called out.
“Ah don’t know ‘bout that, R.D. Yur flyin’ style may be uh little… extreme fur uh beginner. Maybe Fluttershy would be better fur the basics.” For some reason, this idea was making Fluttershy blush.
“What are you- oh, yeah. You’re probably right. My flying is a little too cool for somepony new to the whole wing thing.”
“I, um, I would be happy to teach you how to fly. Oh, if it’s okay with you that is.”
“Of course it is, Fluttershy. I’m looking forward to it.”
“Plus, you could stay with me and I could teach you magic in the evenings,” Twilight offered.
“Wait, what about me?” Celestia asked, virtually pleading. “I just got my baby back and now you want to take him away again? What if something happens to him?”
“Mom, are you suggesting your star pupil, who has saved Equestria several times, and her friends, who have helped her in her endeavors to save Equestria, are incapable of protecting one, single, little human?”
“Well, no I’m not-”
“So then they are capable of watching out for danger and protecting me from harm?”
“Of course they are, but-”
“Then it’s a trust issue. You don’t trust them or… me,” I gave her my best puppy dog eyes, “to make the right decisions. Is that it?”
“No, not at all. I trust you and them completely.”
“Alright then. Since you trust them and me, I will be accompanying them back to Ponyville so I can learn to fly and control my magic.”
“Okay, Sweetie, just be careful.” Sometimes, it was easier to trick Celestia than argue with her.
“I will, Mom,” I stood up from the bed and hugged her, careful of my new strength, “I love you so very much.”
And that was how I became an alicorn… sort of.

AWESOME!!!
ok then.
hmm neat Chris sure gonna have some fun with his new abilities i wager.
maybe some crash landings and spell misfires in his face hehe
i hope Willow is fine and havent been re-educated
maybe Flutters will try her luck now
I would lie if I say that was unexpected. But it still was not a bad thing. Now Celestia is truly his mom... and Luna his daddy
5077547 lesbian wincest ftw.
I'ma take a gander that their lifeforce has also drastically lengthened his. If not made it everlasting
I don't like the way the story has turned, but I hope it gets better. I like the way the first 8 chapter's were. Building up, but now it seems flat. My opinion only.
HURRA! AN UPDATE!THIS IS LITERALLY FIRST STORY IN MY FAVS THAT HAS UPDATED IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS!!! Sorry I'm just really happy!
And here I lost interest in this.
If we do not see Chris rubbing it into Bluebloods Douche Face that he is now basically an Alicorn, I will be disappointed.
this turned out better than i hoped for it. Celestia has no real damage from the treatment and her son is an magical Angel,
I like it, because this way he can play an important role in a possible fight in the future. I don´t want the mainchars to be the most powerful being, but i don´t ike it either if the Human can´t do one thing right. Long story short, i prefer it this way.
I can´t wait till Fluttershy is ready to try something^^ i always want more the moment the chapter ends.
So, will he go full on antro on them or just the odd wings sticking out of his back. I think I'd rather he stay like he is but i don't know. Will his kids be antro? New dominant spices, antro ponies.
Wait, what about Willow, put her in the next chapter, please?
Things just got very interesting.
I love this series so much, every time I see a new chapter I get all giddy. I cant wait to see what happens next in the series
.
Uhh...ok?..he's an alicorn now. Usually this would be something to turn me off to the story, however.
I'll stick around long enough to see where you take this.
DONT DISAPPOINT ME
5077561 The word you're looking for is Princest, thank you very much.
great chapter tho im abit skeptical now that he is part alicorn... hope he wont turn gary-stu really fast or become one..
but i am glad that he can fight for himself now.. i dont really like seeing a main char that cant really def himself.. on another note i really wana see blueballs reaction now that he is now part alicorn.. also wanna see the reaction on rose now that he has a chance to make kids :D... also im praying for a harem in the end :D im a big harem fan XP...
cheers!!!
Where the hell is Willow!
5077637 I tink you a letter.
You're making me cautious dude. I am glad the story is taking a turn for the "MC isn't a useless weakling" any more path, but I really hope it doesn't go overboard. He needs some power to be able to defend himself in a world that is evidentially trying to kill him every 10 seconds, but I swear to god if he turns Gary Stu I am outtie.
And now the comedy begins!
Okay I know this sound selfish, but...Can you please let Willow do community service around Chris? That way she won't get attack and we might see character development.
Plwease?
5077668
5077804 We need Willow stat!
Also... I think Willow and Chris is actually a nice ship now that he's... well... an alicorn of sorts.
Usually I'm not a fan of the whole OC alicorn thing but this is the first time I have seen it with a human. As long as he is capable but not overpowered I will continue reading.
5077547
I think Luna is more like his second mom, since they kind of did the same
Hurray Chris is back and had a very neat upgrade, is slightly weird thinking that his aunt is somehow his mother too…buuuut I will not think to much about that, and just put it as…an awesome gift from his cool aunt Luna.
Wow the press is going to go wild with this news, the first male human alicorn in centuries, that will be a huge scoop. Also I'm not an expert but consider his body structure, as oppose to one of a pony, I think he will be more aerodynamic.
I'm a bit disappointed that it will be Twilight instead of Celestia who is going to teach him magic, but hey, Twilight need some love too, and Chris is only going to ponyville for a while right?
Oh I can't wait to see him try to lead a hand to Celestia and/or Luna into moving the sun or the moon, THAT would be some cute mother son moment
5077574
Everlasting? you mean his stamina? well he had double the force and 2 more limps (wings) so its kind of clear he will need the extra boost to control all of it plus magic, and the life force was from the sister, witch are know to control a spell for at least 12 hours considering their role on the world…so…yeah he probably know got more stamina, if not he wouldn't be able to stand up, from the extra weight, strength and magic
YES
, Chrst lives and Willow will be saved , please continue
Um... I... Hmm... I was really liking this story but it's beginning to hurt me...He's just... I don't even know where to begin with this... I greatly enjoy your writing style but the story itself... Okay, I'm gonna be a little more to the point... Your main character just Died, only to be brought back to life by Death Himself (with zero back story I might add), and now has the powers of not 1, but 2 Alicorns(Oh, and now he can haz the babies)... I... There better be a good reason for this...
5077945 MC has been a textbook gary stu right from the get go, yet strangely the story is still engaging. Shows the power of decent editing, grammar etc can make just about anything better to read. I like it and I dont know why
5078125 he may be more aerodynamic but he wouldnt be able to fly faster then a pagasus like rainbow dash, he would be like a gryffon where he could fly longer and higher
5078437 I enjoyed this chapter -- Chris becoming alicorn-ish didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, so that likely helped. That all said, he's never once mentioned to have a horn. They comment that he will be able to use magic, that he has wings and the strength of an earth pony but nothing about a 3-foot long spear on the top of his head. For some reason that bugs me - I sorta expected him to like...accidentally-almost-sorta gore somebody.
5078466
Well that is more on the technique, too, he doesn't had a wing to steer so he will had to rely on his legs, and yeah it a good argument, also, because of the position and form of his body he can easily do the 'drill' as well as touch clouds, I suppose that mean he will be able to finally visit cloudsdale
5078437
Yeah. Incoming Gary Stu...
5078192 I think he meant ageing.
5077931 please reiterate.
5078632 The correct word, and still technically incorrect is anthro, short for anthropomorphic. The "I tink you a letter." was a joke, because you missed the H, so I removed the H from "think" and removed "missed" as well. All because you missed the H in "anthro".
5078648 oh. Shoot. That was a blunder on my end. I meant anthro. I messed up and my phone put it in the second time. Thanks for pointing that out. I am aware that the term is anthropomorphic; i just didn't feel like using it.
5078678 it was just a lighthearted joke, my friend. No harm done.
5078462 You bring up a good point.
Like every 5 seconds he is having a vomit inducing cutesy moment with the child, and his character just screams "I will forgive everyone who has ever committed wrong doings to me, I will be vindictive to every person who ever hurts my friends and family because I am the good guy who is selfless and only fights to protect those he loves, and for no reason at all just be the generic nice guy to everyone I meet regardless of all context so that everyone will love me because I am the self insert main character".
That was bad enough, but at least it was a Gary Stu MC in the opposite context that most are placed into. The world hates him, and he can't do shit to stop it. Now he has all the power in the world to stop it, and I really hope with that change comes character growth into perhaps a more realistic Human being, and not just some blob of rehashed good guy garbage.
I can see the headlines now "Monstrous creature makes blasphemous alicorn claim".
I can see the headlines now "Monstrous creature makes blasphemous alicorn claim".
5078462 That may be one of the best criticisms yet
5078824 Interesting... Having Chris lash out more now that he has the power to do so would certainly make for a good character flaw for him to overcome. It would be very easy to believe that when someone has no power for years suddenly gains a lot of it, they would be very tempted to abuse it.
5079210
Despite what anyone says you have scored a lot of likes, so you are doing something right! Plus we all wish we had a nice alicorn goddess family, you are helping the rest of us sad sacks dream :)
>MFW I finish reading this chapter
i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/013/113/hahaha-no.gif
You are treading on dangerous waters dear sir. I do hope you know what you are doing.
*reads he gets wings* I FUCKING CALLED IT! Awwww yeah.
this may work
