- >Day The Wizard of Ponyville Chapter 8 in Equestira.
- >You stand in front of Twilight’s house, waiting for the purple princess.
- >There was a time when you could have stopped all of this.
- >Twilight offered you a way out.
- >All you had to do was give up magic.
- >Would you agree if she made the same offer?
- >To live in peace.
- >You shake your head.
- >Things have gone too far for that.
- >You have to see this to the end.
- >The air is clean and fresh.
- >Everything is so different from Tartarus.
- >The guard you threw is stirring.
- >He places two hooves on his head to stop the spinning.
- >After a moment he looks up.
- >His eyes open wide as he recognizes you.
- >Maybe he thought it was a bad dream.
- >His eyes dart toward his spear, and then back to you.
- “Don’t,” is all you say through clenched teeth.
- >Realizing that he doesn’t have a chance, he scoots over to his left into some shade.
- >You almost feel sorry for him.
- >He never signed up to face a magic wielding hairless ape.
- >After a few more wiggling movements he stops.
- >Then he lays his head back down, still facing you so as to keep a good view.
- >You ignore him and return to facing Princess Twilight’s house.
- >What is taking the grey Pegasus so long?
- >He should have only taken a minute or two to find Twilight.
- >And then you have your answer.
- >A wisp of green magic escapes from an open window.
- >Shit.
- >Twilight probably warned the princess.
- >You assumed that she would keep this quiet.
- >Surely she doesn’t want Celestia to know about her failure.
- >Unless of course, she lied.
- >A second wisp of green magic.
- >You don’t bother trying to guess where that one went.
- >Most likely both are letters asking for help.
- >You take this time to adjust Trixie’s hat again.
- >Showmanship is part of any wizard’s arsenal.
- >”How did you escape?” A voice asks from the balcony.
- 1/12
- >Twilight steps out wearing her regalia.
- >The golden crown with the element of magic embedded in it sits atop her head.
- >A gilded purple cloak billows as she takes another step.
- “It’s good to see you too, Princess,” you say with venom in the last word.
- >One of her eyes twitch.
- >”You didn’t answer my question.”
- >Again you ignore her.
- “Where’s Trixie?”
- >”I don’t answer to traitors or liars.”
- ”Traitor? I never swore any oaths to you.”
- >”But you did lie,” she accuses.
- ”Are you still upset about that? I’m willing to let bygones be bygones. Just give me the girl, and you’ll never see us again.”
- >”I should have killed you when I had the chance.”
- “But you thought Tartarus would be more fitting. I thought Princesses never make mistakes.”
- >”You were supposed to lose your powers!”
- >You nod slowly in agreement.
- “Yeah. Turns out there is no such thing as virgin magic. Where’s Trixie?!”
- >”She safe, unlike you.”
- >Twilight leaps from the balcony and slows herself with her wings just before she lands.
- >Your arms shoot out on their own to your sides, spreading your cloak open.
- >Both hands flick to form fire and barrier respectively.
- >Twilight just smiles at this.
- >”You’ve gotten better. Last time you could barely use your hands together, and now they can form magic independently.”
- “I had a good teacher.”
- >Twilight presses her lips together, and looks away as she thinks.
- >”Tirek?”
- >That’s Scorpan’s supposedly evil brother.
- >You never had a chance to meet him, so you can’t be sure.
- >Maybe he was just as evil as you are, which is to say, not at all.
- >You doubt Scorpan wants ponies to know that he can travel to and from Tartarus.
- “It doesn’t really matter does it?”
- >Twilight shakes her head.
- >”It does. When I’m finished with you, then I’ll go after him too.”
- 2/12
- >It's not nice of her to threaten your friends.
- “I guess you’re going to have to force it out of me.”
- >”Yeah.”
- “One more thing…”
- >”Hmm?”
- “Who did you message just now?”
- >Twilight shifts her weight as she decided whether or not to tell you.
- >She'll probably just lie to you.
- >You have to beat her quickly before help arrives.
- >”You’ll see soon enough,” she smirks.
- >She flies above you, her horn charged, and forelimbs spread.
- >Her left hoof forms a double barrier.
- >The right makes the motion for light.
- >”I felt sorry for you when I beat you last time.”
- “Felt sorry for me?” You let your head roll to the side to exaggerate curiosity. “You should ask me if I’ll feel the same.”
- >She raises an eyebrow, weighing your veiled threat.
- >”I seriously doubt you'll win.”
- >You grit your teeth at her.
- “Let’s find out.”
- >A hand flies forward and fire springs forth.
- >Her eyes open wide as if she wasn’t expecting you to make the first move.
- >She tries to dodge but the flames reach her too quickly.
- >Her double barrier shimmers as it absorbs the attack.
- >The force pushes her back in the air, and you jerk a wrist for lightning.
- >Twilight flicks her right hoof and deflects the twisted strands.
- >Not wasting any time she extends a hoof to respond with light.
- >You leap to avoid her attack, and levitate yourself to meet her.
- >The princess anticipates this and the beam follows you.
- >Your hexagonal shielding wavers as it takes the energy.
- >Twilight dashes forward, twisting in the air to kick you and you drop the barrier to block with your arms.
- >You see a smirk as she keeps rolling and lightning bolts erupt from her right hoof.
- >Thunder cracks and pain shoots through your body.
- >You get a good view of the clouds as you fall backward.
- 3/12
- >Somehow your left hand remembers to do its part and it double cancels the attack.
- >Still it comes too late and you crash on the ground.
- >Without thinking you roll to the left and you hear hooves slam into the cobblestones beside you.
- >You throw a leg out to trip her, but Twilight jumps over it.
- >Using the momentum you get to your feet just as ice narrowly misses your head.
- >With both hands you bring up another double barrier which absorbs the next blast.
- >You pass it to your left and throw her back with your energy.
- >Twilight tumbles in the air, but catches herself about ten paces away from you.
- >She gently lands, still facing you.
- “You tricked me,” you say through bared teeth.
- >”Awww, Tirek didn’t teach you about feints?” She asks as she makes a crying motion. “So sad.”
- >You look around.
- >A few brave ponies have poked their heads out of open windows and doors to see the fight.
- >The white Pegasus guard remains motionless, but you can tell that he is waiting for his moment to strike.
- >You don’t know where the grey Pegasus is, but you assume he is also watching.
- >”Give up, Anon,” Twilight says with an air of superiority.
- >She shouldn’t have been able to trick you like that.
- >You should have seen through it!
- >What would Trixie do?
- >>”That’s why we wear protection, Anon,” you remember her saying.
- >But a cloak doesn’t help when you’re blocking a physical attack.
- >>”Your technique is terrible,” Scorpan chastised you when you showed him what you knew.
- >You should have grabbed the fabric to cover yourself as you defended.
- >Or maybe held the barrier and only blocked with one arm.
- >Your cloak is ragged.
- >Burn marks line the fist sized holes.
- >It helped during your escape, but you doubt it will last much longer.
- >Even your suit is struggling to maintain its shape.
- >A few strands of thread is all the keeps your sleeves in place.
- 4/12
- >You look up at the princess.
- >She stands tall, waiting for your next move.
- >You won’t fall for her trick again.
- >”We could have been happy together, Anon,” Twilight reminds you.
- >Your back makes a few cracking sounds as you roll your shoulders back to get into the correct stance.
- “But, isn’t this more interesting?”
- >Twilight’s brow furrows as she considers your question.
- >After a moment she offers you the slightest smile.
- >”Yes.”
- >You reform your barrier and hold your right hand at the ready.
- “Good.”
- >Your hand casts fire and Twilight blinks away.
- >She appeared behind you last time, so you leap into the air.
- >Lightning sears the air below you.
- >As you twist around you double cancel her attack.
- >Twilight swings her hoof twice, fruitlessly trying to shock you.
- >With both arms you shoot out an inferno.
- >You smell burning as her cape desperately tries to stop the attack.
- >You hear a blinking sound, and the fire burns the ground.
- >This time she doesn’t appear behind you.
- >She is standing on her balcony, summoning a red cage.
- >Her face scrunches as she forms the magic bars with her horn.
- >Your fingers snap out a thin beam of energy, but she deflects it away.
- >You hear a groaning sound and you know the cage is complete.
- >Fuck.
- >You can’t let her touch you with it.
- >Unlike other forms of magic, red cages are themselves cancels.
- >They were designed to teach evil unicorns their place.
- >You’ve only seen them twice, and for good reason.
- >Only the most powerful unicorns can form them.
- >”Not so confident now, Anon,” Twilight taunts.
- >Last time she used a blue cage on Trixie.
- >Your teacher was at the bottom of top tier magic users.
- >Unlike her, Twilight must see you as truly dangerous.
- >Maybe even… an equal…
- “This changes nothing.”
- >Twilight takes a deep breath.
- >”We’ll see…”
- 5/12
- >Twilight jumps forward, her hoof primed with light.
- >The red cage sails to your right, matching Twilight’s speed.
- >It can’t touch you!
- >You twist both arms in place and blink away.
- >You dry heave twice, trying to ignore the effects of teleportation.
- >Below you, a flash of light, then you hear the magic bars slam into the ground.
- >Cobblestones crack at the impact.
- >The cage sizzles as it absorbs the princess’s wasted attack.
- >Half a second later, she realizes you're gone, and she instinctively throws the cage behind her to scoop you up.
- >Before she notices you flying above her, you form a fist and knock her back.
- >She motions to cancel, but hits the ground before she can stop you.
- >Your other hand flicks to the left, and you snatch the cage from her magic grip.
- >Twilight’s eyes open wide.
- >Now you are the pursuer.
- >You fly forward dragging the cage behind you.
- >Twilight shoots ice and you swerve midair to dodge it.
- >You throw an arc of fire at her from the right, and swing the cage around the opposite.
- >She times a cancel perfectly and jumps toward the attack.
- >You try to pull the crimson back to scoop her from behind, but you’re too late.
- >It harmlessly falls behind her.
- >Again you yank your arm to move it.
- >Twilight motions and you feel her energy adding to yours.
- >She unbalances your magic and all you can do to dodge the uncontrolled cage is to drop yourself.
- >It sails over you.
- >Not wanting to waste the initiative Twilight drops the cage and bursts the ground below you.
- >You spin twice in the air, head over heels.
- >Your ears ring, but there is no time to waste.
- >Hands move on their own to engulf everything around you in flames.
- >In her haste Twilight brings up a single barrier.
- >A single barrier!
- >As you land you throw both hands out.
- >With all your strength you force out two blazing streams.
- 6/12
- >Twilight’s shield makes a horrifying sizzling sound as it desperately tries to absorb the magic.
- >You see the hexagonal grid shudder just before it shatters.
- >The fire forces its way through and you can smell burning fabric.
- >”Aaaahhhh!!!” Twilight screams.
- >To your right your battle moon springs to life.
- >You jerk your head and a spear dematerializes, only inches from your chest.
- >The white Pegasus!
- >He doesn’t have time to react before your magic throws him in a convulsing fit.
- >A white unicorn with an absurd hairstyle cancels the attack.
- >You’ve seen her before…
- >The town tailor…
- >Beside her are four other ponies.
- >A blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane.
- >Another one with a yellow coat tries to hide behind her pink hair.
- >The other two you know.
- >Pinkie and Applejack.
- >Fuck!
- >The elements.
- >That’s who she -
- >Two hooves kick you, and as you fall back the red cage flies toward you.
- >With both hands you slow it.
- >Twilight takes another step forward.
- >”You’ll pay for what you did to me!” Twilight yells.
- >”We don’t take kindly to rapists,” Applejack says as she stands over you.
- >That’s what she told them!
- >And she said you were a liar!
- >Applejack moves to stomp you.
- >One hand holds the cage back, the other gives Applejack the shock of her life.
- >She rolls on the ground.
- "Aagh!"
- >Rarity zaps you with-
- >You don’t know.
- >But it’s enough to make you drop your magic, and only instinct lets you narrowly escape the crimson.
- >The blue Pegasus charges at you, but you deflect her into the cage.
- >Both tumble beside you.
- >”Don’t hurt my friends!” Twilight shouts.
- >You fling fire in all directions and the yellow and pink ones do all they can to avoid being burnt.
- “Too scared to face me alone!?”
- 7/12
- >Twilight flicks the bars to release the rainbow pony.
- >Another burst of lightning stuns the princess and you throw her with your magic.
- >She slams into the blue one and drops into the now open enclosure.
- >A muted twist later and she is sealed behind the bars.
- >”No!!!”
- >She throws herself against the prison but it’s no use.
- >You hold both hands outstretched and the other ponies take a step back.
- "Who's next?!"
- >The town fountain explodes.
- >Now what!?
- >When the dust clears you see four guard ponies.
- >The fifth is different.
- >His coat is white, and his blond mane billows in the wind.
- >He wears a shining cuirass under a gilded purple cloak.
- >Unlike his armor it does not bear his cutie mark.
- >In its place is a wilted white flower.
- >No.
- >It couldn’t be.
- >He practices black chineighs magic.
- >The darkest kind.
- >”Kill him! Kill him!” Twilight yells.
- >The unicorns spread out to cover you on either side.
- “I have your princess! I just want Trixie!”
- >You rattle Twilight’s red cage beside you, and she bounces around.
- >”Princess!” One of the guards yell.
- “Give me the girl and I’ll leave!”
- >”Kill him!” Twilight repeats.
- “Shut up!”
- >You shoot electricity through the bars and Twilight convulses.
- >”Aaagh!”
- >”You heard her! Kill him!” A guard shouts.
- >Both hands flick to form fire and lightning respectively.
- >You stand ready for them.
- >”No!” Their leader shouts.
- >One of the guards look at him with his mouth agape.
- >”B- But Prince Blueblood…”
- >He waves a hoof and the unicorn stops his protests.
- >”Give you who?” He asks feigning indifference.
- ”Trixie! Twilight took her from me.”
- >”Don’t listen to him! He’s a liar! He raped me!”
- >One of the guards steps forward, shaking as he does everything in his power to stop himself from attacking you.
- >”We have to save her!”
- 8/12
- >”Princess Celestia ordered us to stop this monkey, and here he is… stopped…”
- >As if on command both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna descend behind him.
- >There’s no way you can stop all of them.
- >But you have to stay strong.
- >It’s the only way to get your teacher back!
- >”You can still stop this, Anon,” Celestia says through clenched teeth.
- >You redouble your magic so you can barely control the inferno.
- “Where’s Trixie!?”
- >”Don’t listen to him!” Twilight pleads again.
- >”She’s here! She’s here!” A voice calls from your right.
- >The grey Pegasus guard pushes out a blue cage holding Trixie.
- >You spared his life twice.
- >Maybe he saw this as a chance to repay that debt.
- >”Let me go!”
- “Trixie!”
- >Her eyes meet yours.
- >”Anon!”
- >She fruitlessly tries to break the bars.
- >Princess Celestia’s horn glows and magics your teacher beside her.
- >”No! They’re both liars!” Twilight cries out.
- >Her eyes are red and she is trying to keep from crying.
- >Celestia shakes the cage and Trixie is let out gently.
- >”You never said you took a prisoner…” Luna says to Twilight.
- >”The’re both evil! I had to protect Ponyville!”
- >”No. Twilight loved Anon.” Trixie interjects.
- >”Nooo!” Twilight weeps.
- >”He learned magic to stop her."
- >Trixie's eyes plead with the princess to believe her.
- >Twilight tries to dispute the claim, but it’s hard to understand her between sobs.
- “I had to protect myself. When Twilight found out I knew magic, she saw it as her chance, and she raped me.”
- >Celestia and Luna look at each other.
- “She sent me to Tartarus without even a trial. Is that Equestrian justice!?”
- >This time Twilight manages to squeak out a few words.
- >”He learned magic. Only unicorns c-can do that.”
- >Celestia furrows her brow.
- >”That hasn’t been enforced for…” she searches for the answer. “Three hundred years?”
- >Luna offers only a shrug.
- 9/12
- >She was only recently released from banishment.
- >”B-but it’s the law…”
- “I just wanted to live in peace…”
- >Celestia ignores you.
- >”Twilight, you never said any of this in your letters.”
- >”I-I meant too…” she says weakly.
- >”And the rest? Is any of that true!?”
- >Twilight doesn’t answer the princess.
- ”We both thought that taking my virginity would stop my magic. She said it would be a fitting punishment.”
- >Prince Blueblood smiles, clearly imagining it.
- >”It’s true, princess,” the grey Pegasus says. “I heard it all while I was guarding the door.”
- >Celestia frowns.
- >She shifts her weight uncomfortably.
- >Her eyes dart between yours and the others as she tries to make out fact from fiction.
- >”Twilight wanted us to kill the monkey the moment we landed… It would be an easy way to silence him…” Blueblood offers.
- >You lower your magic.
- >At this point it’s better to not look like a threat.
- >You can feel your heart thumping.
- >With a single word, Princess Celestia could have this all swept under the rug.
- >But with the royal guard in town, some of the locals come out of hiding.
- >”Is it true, Twilight? Did you lie to us?” Applejack asks her friend.
- >Twilight looks away.
- >Celestia shakes her head.
- >”You were supposed to be my protégé…”
- >”I’m sorry…” Twilight says just over a whisper.
- >And with that you know you’ve won.
- >With all these eyes and ears Celestia can’t make this disappear.
- >She has to deal with her student.
- >”Blueblood?”
- >He takes a step forward.
- >”Yes, Auntie?”
- >She presses her lips together.
- >”Take her away…” Celestia says with sadness in her voice.
- >Blueblood motions for a guard to help him.
- >Another unicorn stands at the opposite end of the red cage, and all three blink away.
- >Celestia picks up the element of magic.
- >She weighs it in her hoof.
- >You know what she is thinking.
- >Who can bear this burden now…
- 10/12
- >”I’m sorry about what happened, Anon. I’ll make sure you are taken care of for your trouble.”
- >Luna nudges her sister.
- >Her head cocks slightly toward you, urging Celestia to do it.
- >You have to strain your ears to hear.
- >”He isn’t ready.”
- >You heard that before.
- >>”Do you think I’m ready?” You asked Scorpan before you escaped from Tartarus.
- >>He frowned at you and said, “No.”
- >But you proved him wrong.
- >”He can learn…”
- >Celestia makes the slightest nod.
- >”Anonymous.”
- >You straighten up as she addresses you.
- >”Equestria faces many dangers. The elements are only useful when they have someone bear them…”
- >A hoof stretches out toward you, holding the crown.
- >”If anyone is capable of using the element of magic, it would be you.”
- >You let the words linger there for a moment.
- >Celestia helped you when you first arrived here.
- >Twilight was your enemy, not Equestria.
- >You look at Trixie.
- >You’ve never seen her smile so widely.
- >”It also comes with a handsome stipend,” Luna adds.
- >This makes you laugh.
- >Not five minutes ago you were fighting for your life.
- >Now you are being offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
- >And it’s all because you chose to be a virgin.
- >You take the crown from Princess Celestia’s hoof.
- >You can feel the power emanating from the gem.
- >With this, anything is possible.
- >Celestia again extends her hoof and you return the magic object.
- >"Of course, you will have to learn more before we can bestow this honor," Luna explains.
- "I'm not going to leave Trixie."
- >"Nopony said anything about that."
- >"You can stay here, and we will send you books to study."
- "That's all?"
- >"Well, you will have to send friendship reports from time to time..."
- >At least they aren't treating you like a child.
- >You can do what you want, as long as you bow to their throne.
- >It beats the hell out of dying in Tartarus.
- ”I’ll do it.”
- 11/12
- >Trixie leaps into your arms, nearly making you fall over.
- >She pulls you close for a deep kiss.
- >It feels like forever since you’ve held her.
- >She squeaks as you squeeze her.
- >”Congratulations, Anon,” Celestia says. “I’ll visit you tomorrow to discuss the details.”
- >She motions for the others to leave, and in a flash they blink away.
- >Luna stays back and opens her mouth to say something.
- >After a moment, she decides better of it and chomps the words away.
- >She says simply, "You'll do."
- >And then she disappears.
- >You look down at the little pony in your arms.
- >There are so many things you want to say and ask.
- >But all those things can wait.
- >The only one that matters is Trixie, and you don't want to keep her waiting.
- “It’s time you and I tried out my bed.”
- >You try to kiss her but she pulls away.
- >”Ponies are watching, Anon.”
- >By now most of the town is around you.
- “Let them.”
- >You pull her in for a deep kiss.
- >Trixie struggles for half a heartbeat, before melting in your arms.
- >In that moment all of your troubles are gone.
- >Trixie nuzzles into you, trying to get as close as possible.
- >”Now you really are,”
- >She breaks the kiss to look up with beautiful half lidded eyes.
- >”The Wizard of Ponyville.”
