“Do you think there is enough time still to tell the captain of this thing to turn around?” I asked Luna as I looked out of the small window of the cabin.
When I woke up this morning, I had looked out the window and found the ground below covered with white.
“I don’t think anypony else would approve of that,” Luna commented and looked between a pair of papers before putting them down and smiling at me, “Winter is almost half way over anyway.”
I grumbled and gave her a small nuzzle, “Yay.”
Luna giggled and nuzzled at my ear, “How's your horn?”
“It’s fine,” I said and sighed, “Haven’t hurt for almost a week.”
“So what did the doctor say?”
“That he’ll examine me again in a week and to avoid using any magic until he gives me the go ahead,” I said and flicked my ears, “Which is something I one hundred percent is going to follow. I have no intention of relapsing back to the beginning again.”
Ever.
If I end up against a rexosaurus with a strained horn again and I’ll rather try to buck it in the face. Because I’m fairly sure that getting a leg bitten off would hurt less.
Luna nodded and smiled, “It’ll pass. I have felt that myself once or twice, if not as badly as it hit you.”
I nodded and then stretched my wings, “I’m going to stretch my legs a bit.”
“Going up top?” Luna teased and I shuddered at the very thought as I trotted out of the room.
No… thank you.
Nooo.
Buck that so hard. At least the inside of the airship was nice and warm despite the metal walls. Nothing could be cold with this many ponies in it.
I made my way along the ship, “How’s things?” I asked as I reached Swift where he was laying, a book floating before him, two legs in actual casts now instead of just splinted.
Swift Spear glanced up and grinned, “I’m good, just bored out of my skull. Just looking forward to getting back home.”
“Missing Minuette?” I asked.
He nodded, “...Yeah. Kind of looking forward to a couple of weeks of recovering.”
I smiled, “Yeah, understand that,” I said before I frowned, “Uhm… I shouldn't come to visit for a while, should I?”
“May be safest to stay away for a couple of days to give her time to calm down a little,” Swift agreed, “Minuette can have a temper.”
“Figured,” I agreed, “I’ll let you get back to your book. I’ll offer to get you a drink or something, but I think the doctor might pin my ears back.”
“Take you up on that when we get back,” He said with a grin and picked his book back up.
I gave him a small wave and headed out, talking briefly with each of the injured on my way out. Stepping back out into the corridor, I stretched my wings and set my jaw.
Amber…
...Amber had a point. Everypony that got hurt, everypony that died…
It’s up to us to make it worth it. Up to me.
I’ll make it worth it, I’ll get thestrals accepted as another tribe if it kills me.
I took a slow and deep breath and then shook my head. Midnight and Sparks could figure out how to break the curse, reverse the blood magic…
Before everything else, we needed to restore all thestrals to the way they… the way we should be.
To undo all of the evil that ‘that fucker’ did.
Might have thought that he was helping, was keeping them safe, but what he did was force them to undergo thousands upon thousands of years of prosecution and fear.
I’m going to fix it. I’m going to restore things the way they were meant to be if it meant talking Sparks into sending me back in time and punching the fucker in the teeth before he could do anything.
I sighed and shook my head. No. No, that’s stupid. You don’t buck around with time, I have read too many stories about it going wrong.
No.
No, it wouldn’t work. But we’ll find a way to fix this. To improve the lives of thestrals everywhere.
And if ponies after everything else don’t change their minds.…
...I just have to do it for them...
He has the determination and a plan, now Page just has to get it done!
Alicorn of Stories. How many stories have we had about upending prejudice? With the increased variation in species that Equestria has, there are probably even more.
Let's hope you keep that mentality, Page.
'Cause we all know how tempting it is.
That's gets darker and darker
I think Darth Page is coming

Yes, do it!
It would actually ironically fit, with him creating a pony version of Star Wars XD
Just like the changeling queen and her hive? Grow some morals before you judge that other alicorn.

Welp here go then
#DarthPageFTW
Luna .....Nightmare Moon
Celestia..... Day Breaker
Twilight Sparkle ....Midnight Sparkle (Sorry Midnight)
Cadenza Mi Amore ..... Chrysalis (not sorry)
Blank Page ....Somnia Scourge
We all have a dark side.
Luna: .....Amber? Can you come out here please?
*Amber appears from the shadows*
Amber: Yes Madam??
Luna: There's a high chance that my husband is going to do something stupid in the near future...probably time travel related. Don't you agree?
Amber: You are not wrong...Sir has mentioned time travel once or twice when he forgets I'm there.
Luna: Exactly! HERE! Please take this for emergencies and use it on Page in order to prevent any time paradoxes.
Amber: Madam...this is an aluminum baseball bat. This is unnecessary.
Luna: Yes yes I understand you don't want to hurt Page but--
Amber: No Madam. I mean this is unnecessary because it is redundant. *takes out another baseball bat* My queen already gave me one.
Luna: Ah I see...I should invite Chrysalis to tea more often. Regardless just use both weapons to make your point.
Amber: Of course Madam.
MEANWHILE WITH PAGE...
Page: ...I feel both betrayed and loved at the same time and I don't know why...
He’s done it before... What’s stopping him this time?
if page joins the dark side, he WILL be stopped, and end up being stoned. by that point he really might be the alicorn of stories.
but who knows how powerful page can become ya know? maybe he can write down someone's story and it becomes reality :X
Foreshadowing time travel?
Hmm... Stories. There are countless stories of some monster or another being shown as the sympathetic hero he could use. But if he goes to gung-ho at the start somemight think he sold out or somethinjg so he'd have to choose carefully
Just going to throw a wild theory out there that the statue is actually an imprisoned Evil Page from the future. In which case, what has been done has already happened. Prepare for.. unforseen consequences.

always preferred Batpage the Mind Flayer myself

Love it!
....time travel....
And Page dodges the "idiot ball" using "genre savvy" once again. Let's see how long he can keep this up.

The 'dark corridor' I was referring to was the one in the story, not general use in established situations where lamps/candles are readily available. However, the general use of a torch was as a bright, portable, light source, (which is why the British call a hand-held portable electric light a torch), and they are quite effective in that role.
And since you missed it: Historically there were larger torches that would indeed burn for hours, that is not to say they were a day-in day-out lighting option. Instead they were used in situations where extra light would be needed, (e.g. during a festival that runs into the night).

You wonderful, terrible bastard.
The comment section is at least as entertaining as the main story
I can just picture him being the one who inspired that statue. XD
*Skitter walks into Chrysalis' chamber*
S "Mother..."
C "I know daughter, they threatened the great progenetor."
S "Preperations underway?"
C "Preperations are already complete, 'Scorched Earth' is ready for implementation, I was simply waiting to give you the chance to give the order."
S "Thank you mother." *walks out to the main chamber and looks at the waiting changelings* "Unleash the Swarm!"

i prefer 'heart-breaker (Or if you want something more interesting amor malus, which means bad romance) for cadances nightmare self, and midnight sparkle 'is' the cannon name of twilight's nightmare self as revealed in the eqg specials.
for cadance it realy actualy depends which sin her nightmare embodies, for her theres two that could take root, Envy, or lust...Envy would lead to heartbreaker...torn apart by the loose of her beloved shining armor she decides that if she cant have love eternal then nopony can...and so heartbreaker is born, Amor Malus would instead be born if she gave in to baser desires and lust, wanting all the pleasures of the world to be hers...of the two bad romance would probly be less dangerous on a global level as unless someone had something she wanted she likely would not bother them.

I would think her "lust" would be an unrequited and obsessive love. The whole "I love you and you will learn to love me"
It was a unicorn casting the magic... Perhaps it was a ploy to make the Alicorn look bad.
Dirty campaign thousands of years ago...
Since noone else is to blame, it must be the Alicorn...
DUHHH!
I shead tear of pride, the comment section is so creative and entertaining. Truly a great collection of ideas ♡
So you are going to exterminate the testhrals?
Because from what we know extinction was their destiny and how things are supposed to be.
