Brindle Gossip,
Epilogue 2
[ The next day]
Twilight Sparkle winced, her ears twitching as she fought back the darkness of sleep that clung to her brain like a too tight sock she couldn't pull off.
“She's waking up.” stated a less than calm voice.
“Seems we came at the right time then.” claimed a calm voice.
“Verily.” agreed a some what angry sounding voice.
Opening her eyes Twilight winced at the light only for it to quickly dim. Standing around her were four figures, a large white alicorn, a smaller dark blue alicorn, and a pink alicorn, and a gold furred gray maned Earth Pony in a doctors garb. There was also a white female unicorn in the room with blue hair and as Twilight's eyes adjusted she saw Spike draped over the Unicorn's back fast asleep.
“Who.....?” Twilight began her mouth feeling dry as the badlands, a glass of water was quickly offered to her from the doctor.
“ Drink slowly. Please be silent and remain calm Miss Twilight, you are suffering from magical burn out, and you need your rest. My name is Dr. Home and I am your primary physician while you are in Canterlot General.” the Earth Pony stated.” Your horn is currently fitted with a inhibitor so you might feel a bit numb around the base. While I doubt it will be much a issue to some one with the well of power you have at your disposal please do not test the limits of the inhibitor as they are expensive to replace.”
“How....?” Twilight stammered coughing, as she inhaled some of the water.
“Rahs rushed you to the doctors office in Ponyville. They didn't know how to deal with Spike and didn't have the capacity to deal with this level of magical burn out. They sent for a life flight and had you sent here.” Celestia spoke. “ That is something I suppose I may need to address soon. Ponyville is far too large to not have it's own hospital.”
“Where....?” Twilight began.
“Rahs is fine. It seemed after he dropped you off however he tore out of the doctors office as fast as he could. Auntie Luna found him a few hours later at Sweet Apple Acres. Apparently he had taken it upon himself to eat three trees worth of apples by the time he was found. He's currently in another room trying not to vomit over everything.” Cadence offered.
“I love how every one is ignoring my order for her to be silent and stay calm.” Dr. Home snorted.
“You don't know my student. Better we answer her now than allow her to get up and try to find the answers herself.” Celestia chuckled.
“Why....?” Twilight started.
“Thine brother Spike explained the poison joke incident when he woke for a time. We believe that to be the root of it. Thou transformation into a Dragon, Spike's to a dog , and Rahs' to a Pony are the crux of it. As a Dragon thy form was not producing the same sort of magic as normal, nor was Spike. This mattered little as Rahs was a Pony and wasn't feeding on it. The moment thee returned to normal, thy magic built up rapidly without it's usual outlet. Hence the seeming surge Spike thought thou were having. When Rahs returned to normal his body considered itself under attack as the magic had been cut off and it reacted by drawing more magic from all on the connections he possessed, thou and both of your other brothers. He also felt starved beyond reason and sought to eat until sated, hence his current predicament, when all he really needed was more magic, not real food. Still were it not for Shining Armor's collapse when his magic was drawn down the link, we might not have known even this.”
“It is interesting to see that there is enough magic in those apples to sate something like this.” Celestia offered.
“What...?” Twilight started again.
“ Shining Armor is fine, not enough magic was drawn though his connection to do more than get him to black out.” Cadence offered with a wide smile.” Isn't that right Shiny?”
The white Unicorn mare grumbled something, shifting a little trying not to look at Twilight in the bed, a tinge of red forming on her face. Still she was careful not to shift Spike too much on her back.
“Seems the poison joke worked through the link. Your brother will be most appreciative if you could present the cure to him.” Celestia chuckled.
“For poison joke?” Doctor Home questioned. “That's a rather easy cure, I've a book with the recipe here in my office. It's a rare thing given than poison joke only grows in the Everfree, but I'm sure Quack and his office have a copy of the book too with how close they are to the forest.”
“What bothers us, is how Shining Armor's change was not brought up until the point he fainted.” Luna questioned with a barely noticeable smirk. “ Was he not spending the day with thee Cadence?”
Shining Armor turned a deeper shade of red and Cadence flushed quite a bit herself.
Luna's grin grew wider as Celestia and Twilight face hooved.
“Yes Princess I was …......” Shining Armor muttered.
“Reaaaaaaaaaaaaally.” Luna nearly hissed her smile getting wider.
“Stuff it auntie.” Cadence growled. “ Like you wouldn't if the chance presented itself.”
“Too much information.” Twilight and Celestia whined.
Luna however started laughing like a loon. Doctor Home evidently had enough and ordered the lot of them out of Twilight's room.
[Later, in another part of the Hospital]
Luna paused at the door looking through the window into the room where Rahs lay across a bed his head hanging over a bucket.
She sighed softly, her ear flicking as her sister came up behind her.
“It is time to return to our duties Lulu.” Celestia stated. “Cadence is staying here as is Shining for treatment for his condition.”
Luna smirked at that, though it dropped almost as soon as it formed.
“With practice we believe that this can be avoided. We would suggest that to him were not asleep.” Luna whispered.
“I don't think any of them will want to try again.” Celestia countered.
“He should, perhaps we should work on a way to see if it can be made permanent.” Luna frowned.
“I think he is fine with how he is.” Celestia offered.
“He was pulled here against his will Tia, in a way we cannot fathom and that thou has not even figured out. He cannot go back and with what could happen here....... Better that he have a normal life as a Pony and forget what he is supposed to be.”
“Lulu. What are you talking about?”
“ Rahs is..... He is not the only one of his kind sister, he is simply the only one of his kind here. “
“That cannot be right. What of the witc.......” Celestia began before Luna whirled on her, her horn striking her sisters sending up a series of sparks into the air as Luna growled.
“DO NOT SPEAK OF THE ABOMINATIONS!!!”
Celestia took a step back her eyes wide at the rage in her sisters eyes, she had not seen that since Luna had become the Nightmare. Fortunately Luna seemed to realize how she reacted and drew back from her sister as well her ears drooping to her head.
“Sorry Tia, but no. If one even were to consider using such means again we would smite them ourselves and we would take our sweet time about sending them to the next life.” Luna exhaled. “ That is not a viable way and we shall accept no other suggestions of such.”
“I'm afraid I don't understand. Lulu.” Celestia stepped forward again reaching out a wing, Luna sighed and let her sister hug her with it.
“We were their matron, their creator. Rahs, like the others, is as a grandchild to us. And we were forced to betray that trust, to make monsters. That they forgave us so readily is more painful than we can bear after what we did. Rahs should not be here, he should be there with the others.”
“You know where he came from?” Celestia blinked. “Where?”
Luna blinked looking up at her sister curiously as if she was being messed with. “Sister thou was there when we created the Moon Dogs. How does thou not recall what we did with them?”
Celestia blinked turning red as her ears flattened to her head. Luna rolled her eyes.
“Right the rutting. By the stars we are surprised the whole of Equss is not still punch drunk on the tales of thy exploits with thine suitors.”
“Lulu......”
“Sister how many Ponies were there before our fall?” Luna asked suddenly, turning to pull away from her sister's wing to head down the hall.
“Several thousand if I recall. At least around Whinnyshire and the towns we knew of, not counting the Empire of course.” Celestia considered heading along side her sister as they walked down the hospitals hallway towards the front door.
“And how many Ponies are there now?” Luna asked calmly.
“I would say likely in the millions. I've not seen the official census this year however. But that is both Ponies and other races that have come to Equestria.” Celestia listed.
“It matters not if they are Pony or not, only that they are our subjects. They fall under our protection simply by their presence here.” Luna claimed.
“That is not much an answer Lulu.” Celestia snorted.
“Several, 'Million', souls dear sister.” Luna offered with a small smirk.” At what point did you start to think our power so great that we are able to patrol the dreams of several million souls in only a night by ourselves?”

Rahs IS a magical surge protector. He just broke for a bit.
fuck I love this fic
in my top 20 that I'm actively tracking its at least 6 on the chart keep it up
yes this is only tidbit that helps explain why Nightmare Moon / Luna freaked out when all they could here was a bark from Rahs
So, Twi pulled Rahs from the dream realm as a child?!. Damn, that's some power
Now this is getting interesting. I look forward to seeing how this new change in the storyline will gp
8689589
Luna understands Rahs though.
8689591
Indeed . There's more to it than that of course.
8689604
Not in any real new direction save Rahs is gonna feel crappy for a while.
interesting so very interesting looking forward to the next chapter.. I think Celestia is right Rahs is happy as he is
And a wild sub-plot appears!
Not not?
Fathom?
Soooooooo... Rahs is a Dream Wolf instead of a Witch Wolf?
So? Does Rahs have an unknown sibling by the name of Freddie by any chance?
8689637
Witch Wolves are just corrupted Moon Dogs. He's a pure one that was pulled to the mortal realm.
So Shiny Armoire and not Gleaming Shield? I like the name, although the meaning does change somewhat. I wonder if they'll search for spells to replicate the deed, though
Oooooh, that foreshadowing.....
So Rahs' magic connections were not cut off. I feel sorry for Trixie.
And we have Glemming Shield appearance. I am sure Cadance already took photo and made copies of it.
8689746
Arrrgh i used to know all the rule 63 names, thankfully my name for her wasn't used in my canon so i can change it up.
So he's supposed to be in the dream world, huh? Reminds me a bit of A:tLA and Aang's connection to the Spirit World.
Calling it now. Luna's going to be so obsessed with how happy he could be that she'll blind herself to how happy he already is, and try to send Rahs back to the dream realm against his will.
I'm surprised Shining and Cadence were affected by Rahs' exposure to Poison Joke.
8690227 Luna already said he can't go back.. She was thinking of how to make him a pony permanently
Hehe cadance riding Shining lol
So, wait....
Rahs didn't exist as a corporeal being, huh?
Or is the Dream world just another physical plane slightly off from Equestria?
I have many questions, and many possible answers.

Oddly the most common theory is that the dream world isn't necessarily a world. More like a construct created by every single mind in existence. Our dreams are just individual cells in it, but people believe that one skilled or focused enough can actively move between dreams. In essence, it's a realm in between world's that very few have the ability to freely traverse or alter. Though, I suppose the old groups that chatted about this are long gone. I've not heard much about such talks in a few years.
Did anyone else catch the "House, M.D." reference?
I'm shocked no one's made this joke...
For the love of... My main story is currently going through a thorough recreation of the Dream World, and this didn't occur to me? At all? I am very much ashamed of myself right now.
Actually, genderbent Shining Armor is Gleaming Shield.
Absolutely ♡
Moonpopulation incoming
Or not?
This chapter was most delightful ♡
We got to love Lunas apperance on how priceless they are
i love the dr. house reference that is my favorite doctor show other then scrubs
I wonder if they plan space technology development, once they get to Equestra Girls adventure.
Unless they don't learn about it?
