A visit to the royals.
_____*Ponyville, 1:00 PM*_____
Lyaora chuckled as she gazed down at the town from the cloud she was standing on, she closed her eyes and soon there was a thunderstorm, it was small, but it was enough.
The sudden thunderstorm would distract the local Pegasi and perhaps even the people of Canterlot, seeing as she extended it to reach the city.
She took a deep breath and put her right hand on the cloud, it then suddenly darted to the Equestrian capital.
Lyaroa opened her eyes and watched as the clouds thundered around her, as she flew, she couldn't help but glance at the city that was rapidly approaching, she quickly jumped off the cloud and disappeared.
When she reappeared, she was in the now empty streets of Canterlot, she walked calmly to the castle, even with the rain pouring down on her, she's looked up and grumbled, she quickly materialized a gray jacket and pulled the hood up to protect her from the rain.
As she walked through the streets, she noticed the web of life around the city, it wasn't as lively as the Crystal Empire's, but it was still a sight to behold, she could see the ponies go about their everyday lives, going from one shop to another, she watched as young Unicorn children played in the park, she could only smile at the sight of it all. [1]
She passed by an old bakery and looked at it, it seemed broken down, but she saw the web in this building, it was beautiful. 'Wonder why everyone went inside?....it's just some rain.' She wondered as she resumed.
As she continued to walk, she found a small park, she saw a web there, it was small and quiet, but the one thing she noticed was a familiar Unicorn sitting under the shade of the tree. 'Twilight.' She couldn't help but smile and even shake her head in disbelief as she went past the three unicorn mares.
Lyaroa continued and saw something else, as she approached the outskirts of the castle, she saw an enormous web of life, it covered the surrounding area, most of it was that of Changelings, she assumed that this was because of the invasion a while back, she resumed to the castle and soon enough she entered the castle grounds.
Lyaroa walked until she found the front gates, she saw two guards standing watch, one Pegasus, one Unicorn, they were protected from the rain by a protective dome, she walked up and pulled her hood down, she entered the dome and shook her hands, immortal or no.....that rain was cold.
"Hey guys, how's the watch going?" She asked casually as she rubbed her hands together.
The guards did not move.
"So uh, know a fire spell?" She asked as she pointed to an unlit brazier.
The guards did not move.
Lyaroa chuckled to herself and breathed a small spark of flame and ignited the brazier, she held her hands over it and looked at the two. "You know, for a couple of statues, you can keep watch." She joked as she warmed herself up.
The guards did not move.
Eventually, when she was warm, she approached the guards, but did not get too close. "Can you at least tell me where everyone went? it's a ghost town out there." She said.
The guards did not move.
Lyaroa sighed and made her jacket vanish. "I'm here to talk to the Princesses." She mentioned.
The guards did not move. "They are busy trying to calm the populace." The Unicorn said with a gruff voice.
Lyaroa noddedd. "Understandable, i don't suppose I could head inside?" She wondered.
The guards did not move "No, you may not." The Pegasus said a deep voice.
Lyaroa chuckled. "So much for being legal about this." She quickly used her magic and froze the guards in place before they could react.
The guards did not move.
Lyaroa went inside the castle and made her way to the throne room, the castle was filled with the web of life, but it was so.....bland, there was no fire, no vibrancy, just plain old day to day chores done calmly and effectively.
Lyaroa eventually found her way to the throne room entrance, it only took her finding seven dead ends, the kitchen, the dining hall, the great hall, the ballroom, the atrium, the gardens and the grand library.....twice.
She approached the throne room door and heard voices on the other end, she decided to listen in. "Your Highness, what are the Pegasi doing?.....can they not control this storm? and more importantly, can they determine the cause?" Said the voice of what sounded like an annoyed noble.
"I assure you, the Pegasi from weather control are doing everything they can to get this storm under control, as for the cause, I believe it must have been a malfunction with their equipment, we are in no danger from this storm unless it should escalate, and if that should be the case, I can send a request for help directly to Cloudsdale." Said Princess Celestia.
Lyaroa nodded, she was correct about most of it, but the cause wasn't what she said.
"......I understand your highness, I shall inform the Nobles court immediately." Said the stallion.
Lyaroa did not hear another person speak up, all she heard at first was a sigh of relief and some words. "Finally." Came the hushed votive of Celestia.
If there was a better opportunity to enter, Lyaroa didn't see it, she put her hands on the door and pushed them open, healing her wound while doing so. [2]
The doors creaked open and Lyaroa looked at the end of the throne room. "Long time no see Celly." She joked as she let the doors shut themselves behind her.
Celestia made no expression, she remained calm and spoke. "Why are you here Lyaroa?" She asked calmly.
Lyaroa shrugged. "You don't call?.....you don't write?.....it's almost as If you don't care, of course I'm going to visit, so tell me, how is Luna doing?" She asked casually as she walked around the room.
Celestia said nothing at first, but seeing as Lyaroa was silent, clearly waiting on an answer, she spoke. "She is doing well, but you won't be able to speak to her right now." She answered.
Lyaora walked over to the window and took a deep breath and let it out moments later. "I love what you've done with the place, you recorded each of the victories Twilight and the others claimed......you even put the old Mare in the Moon tale on one window." She looked at Celestia and gestured her to walk over.
Celestia reluctantly complied, she approached and looked out the window. "Tell me what you see." Lyaroa said.
The outside was barely hidden by the window, but she saw the storm, the gardens outside, the animals scampering around to get out of the rain, and even some of the ponies out in the rain, she could even see part of her kingdom from here. "I see my little ponies going about their lives, the animals running about enjoying theirs, I see the kingdom, and how it can change in an instant." Celestia replied.
Lyaora nodded and walked back to the center of the room. "You may find this hard to believe, but I am no longer angry, I understand what you saw and what you felt when you saw those ponies dead at my feet, you truly believed I committed genocide." She said.
Celestia said nothing and looked at Lyaroa. "However, you should have listened to me all those years ago, I told you I did not start that battle.....I had no reason too, I never got the chance to explain my end of things in that town, but how about now?....will you listen to your mom now?" She asked.
".......You are not my mother." Celestia said simply and quickly.
Lyaroa chuckled. "Might as well be, I took you and your sister in after that.......incident, raised you, protected you, taught you, gave you the means to change the world after you asked me, but perhaps I should have been more cautious, I see that now." She said.
Celestia walked to the steps of the throne, but did not move her gaze. "Am I to understand that you had a part in all of this?" She asked out of curiosity.
Lyaroa nodded slightly. "No detail ever escaped you Celestia, but yes, I had a hand or two in some of these matters, the Crystal Empire most of all, and in case you are wondering, the Element of Loyalty is alright, it was just a simple spike of energy, nothing to worry about." She mentioned.
Celestia continued walking, this time she walked to another window. "Tell me, why are you really here?.....you of all people don't do social visits." She mentioned.
Lyaroa grinned and crossed her arms. "Simple, to talk with you and Luna, I've been out of touch these past thousand years, I'm curious as to what's going on these days." She answered simply.
Celestia however was not buying it, her gaze narrowed. "There's something else, isn't there?" She asked.
Lyaora shook her head and paced around. "I've also come to warn you of something." She then walked up to Celestia and stood at her side, looking in the opposite direction of the Alicorn. "Do you really think your plans and schemes of yours have gone unnoticed?.....you forgot much Celestia, the choice of who becomes immortal and who gains celestial powers is mine, not yours, I've seen the past of this land with my own eyes, and I know what you are planning." She said.
Celestia did not budge. "You gave me the responsibility of watching over my kind, along with Luna, but you never interfered directly, but yes, I am aware of your knowledge of these events." She replied.
"Then you know what I'm going to do, I will give you two months to return the Elements to the Tree, I will be reversing all of the progress you have made with your.....plan, I will allow your kind to maintain control of the weather, but should I catch you continuing with your plan, I will talking the power I gave you back, including your immortality, am I understood?" Lyaroa asked quietly and firmly.
Celestia sighed and reluctantly nodded. "Yes." She relented.
"Good." Lyaroa then walked to the center of the room. "I won't be caught off guard again, i'm teaching you a lesson that you should have learned all those years ago, if something that should threaten this world arises, I will deal with it." She stated.
Celestia for her part, knew that the Sentinel wasn't lying, and would go through with her promise if she disobeyed. "Don't think of it as a leash, you can still rule your people the way you see fit, but I'm not letting you play God." Lyaroa said.
As Celestia went to respond, the doors to the throne room burst open and a beam of magic burst through, aimed directly at Lyaroa.
Lyaora sighed as the magic hit her, only to dissipate harmlessly, she rolled her eyes and turned around to see a pissed off Luna. "Hey Luna, long time no see!" She said happily, only for another magic bolt to fly at her. "Whoa!" She dodged the bolt of magic and it hit the floor.
"YOU DARE RETURN YOU TRAITOR!" Luna's echoing voice shouted, clearly reverting to the old CRV. [3]
Lyaora blinked and rubbed her ears. "Celestia, would you kindly call off your sister before she tears the castle down?" She said while mending her eardrums.
Celestia sighed and shook her head. "Luna, calm down, your rage isn't helping." She said to her sister.
Luna however, was not willing. "I SHALL NOT BACK DOWN FROM THIS TRAITOR!" She shouted.
"LUNA!" Shouted Celestia's voice.
"Ouch!" Lyaroa had to hold both her ears for that one, as did Luna. 'Forgot how loud she was when she did that.....note to self, get impervious eardrums.' She thought.
Now Luna stopped using the voice enhancing spell. "Why is SHE here sister?" She asked, pointing at Lyaroa.
"I'm glad to see you too Luna...tic, and for your information I just finished telling Celestia about that, which I'm sure she would love to fill you in on later, and just before you burst in I was going to state that I'm not going to bother seeking revenge, ok?" Lyaroa said as she stood all the way back up.
Luna didn't buy it one bit, but as Lyaroa looked over at her she grew even more cautious. "What do you want?" She asked coldly.
Lyaroa feigned to be hurt, she put her hand over her chest and sighed. "Is it so wrong to want to see family?" She asked with fake hope.
"You are not our mother." They both said at once.
Lyaroa blinked. "Ouch, that one actually hurt.....anyway, I was just about to say that I know about you two watching me, Luna, stop stalking my friends for information....that's creepy, Celestia.....just call off the Pegasi, they aren't getting any info." She said as she walked to one of the windows.
"Speaking of Pegasi, I'll make their job easy for them." She snapped her fingers and the storm outside faded along with every cloud. "Probably should mention these next few things before I go home." She looked at the two sisters and held one finger up.
"One, Gwen has already stated that she's not going to be helping with the next Element of Harmony disaster, two, I'm probably going to be giving Golden Freddy a body, and don't bother fighting him, three, I'll be keeping my eyes and ears open for anything I think you two should know, bye." She then vanished from the throne room, with no trace at all.
Luna looked at her sister. "What do you think?" She asked.
Celestia sighed and approached her sister. "I'm not sure, she has changed, she doesn't seem so concerned about being attacked anymore, it will be hard to keep an eye on her, perhaps we shouldn't try." She replied.
"What?.....then we would have no information on her plans, it would be impossible to know what she's doing." She argued.
Celestia looked out the window. "It would be impossible anyway, it would be a waste of resources as she could simply change plans in an instant, I believe that the best course of action right now would be to wait and see." She said calmly.
Luna thought on those words as she looked out the window.
____*back in Ponyville, Gwen's house, 1:40 PM*____
Lyaroa popped up in the center of the living room with a smile on her face. "Hi." She said.
A startled yelp and a smack to the back of her head were the responses she got, but she didn't mind. "Nice to see you too." She said as she rubbed the back of her head.
"I really hate you right now Lyaroa." Roxanne said.
Lyaroa looked over her shoulder and saw Roxanne with a pissed off look on her face, she knelt down to her level. "Oh come now, it wasn't that bad." She said with a grin.
Roxanne looked like she was ready to punch the Sentinel at any second, but she calmed herself down and chuckled evilly. "Just wait until I get my real body back." She warned.
Lyaroa chuckled and ruffled Roxanne's hair. "I'm looking forward to it." She said.
It was then that she heard Fang talk. "Why don't you try this?....it's not like you can't just go back to your body right?" He asked curiously.
Lyaroa shook her head. "Then there would be no point to me doing this to you guys." She countered.
"Chicken!" Spark called.
Lyaroa scratched the back of her head and looked at Spark who was grinning. "Ok.....if your sure...." She waved her hand once and Spark was suddenly a chicken, she heard him complaining and heard Fang sigh. "Come on Lyaroa, change him back.....he was calling YOU a chicken." He said.
Lyaroa nodded. "Oh, that would make much more sense." She turned Spark back into his normal form and snapped her fingers. "Fine, if it will make you guys happy, I'll try it out for one hour." She said.
Just like that she was a pony, she had albino bat wings and had the ears to match, her coat and hair were the exact same pure white, her hair was short and barely came down past her eyes, she also had sharp teeth, her butt tattoo was that of Soul and Spirit. "Huh, this feels.....odd." She said.
She looked herself over and flew up to a low hover with her wings. "You know, if it wasn't for the constant itch, this would be okay." She commented.

Well, now I want to see a drawing of Lyaroa as a pony. So many pony versions of non-pony characters!
7707773 Yea, I originally wasn't going to do that to Lyaroa, but after that comment.....I couldn't resist.
7707780 Heh, well that's cool. I like it when I inspire you at times.
7707929 While I have nothing against using some inspiration from comments, I don't want to end up without the freedom of choice for this kind of thing, besides, it was......interesting, so thanks for the idea. :)
7708006 Ok.
