Mindscape.

Darkness was all I could see.

"Well, at least that demonic pegacorn thingie is gone." Yeah, I'm talking to myself in my own mind. I'm definitely going crazy.

"True, the Nightmare is finally dead, but their are still other problems you will have to deal with, and it's alicorn, not pegacorn."

I spun around so fast I would have given myself whiplash if this wasn't a dream, only to be greeted by another 'alicorn', judging by it's voice, it was female.

It being my mind, a giant red "!" appeared over my head briefly, before I started glaring at this newcomer. "You've got ten seconds to explain this before I drop-kick you're pony ass into Warp 5."

All she did was raise an eyebrow. "Very well, as you might know, after the Nightmare dragged you across dimensions, it altered you're body to be the perfect host for it."

I sighed. "Let me guess, the alterations are permanent?" She nodded. "And what, pray tell, are the extents of these alterations?"

She sighed, slowly shaking her head. "For all intents and purposes, you my dear..." She trailed off. "You know, I never did get you're name."

Now, it was my turn to shake my head. "Is there even any point in telling you, if I am most likely going to have to come up with a new one?"

She nodded. "True, true..." I raise my hand, about to ask her her name when she speaks again. "To answer the question I suspect you're about to ask, my name is Princess Luna." I lower my hand. "But anyways my good sir, to answer your question on the extent of these alterations, you are, for all intents and purposes, an alicorn, like me or Celestia, my sister, with a few modifications."

I blink. "Such as?"

Luna seemed to grimace a bit. "Let's just say it altered you to allow for a more nocturnal lifestyle, and to have a more... varied, diet."

I shrugged. "So? I was never a morning person to begin with, And my species was already capable of eating meat." Luna blanched at that, before she suddenly found the darkness below us, very interesting.

"Well there is one last thing you should be aware of..."

I laughed. "I honestly don't see how my masculinity could be destroyed any further, so come on, lay it on me!"

She winced at that. "About that..."

Oh, you've got to FUCKING KIDDING ME! I face palmed. "Fuck you multiverse. Fuck. You. With. A. Cactus. Full of rusty nails. On fire. Repeatedly." Luna just stared at me, clearly disturbed by such vulgarity.

I sighed. "So how do I wake up? I would rather get this over with sooner then later."

Luna smiled. "Oh but you already are..."

Then everything faded to white.

Reality, Canterlot castle, medical wing.

I opened my eyes, only to be greeted with an absurd amount of light. squinting while hissing in pain, I felt something that I had never felt before. It felt like my irises were contracting horizontally, eyes are not suppose to do that! When they finished though, the light was at a bearable level.

"So." Turning my head towards the voice, I was greeted by a white alicorn, presumably this 'Celestia' Luna mentioned.

First things first. "How long was I out?"

"About a month, miss..." Oh, yeah, I need to think of a name. Of course the first thing that popped into my mind was Blood Moon, but I realized that it didn't quit roll off the tongue right. Calling upon my years of watching subbed anime, I quickly came up with a translation.

"Chitsuki... call me Chitsuki." Celestia tilted her head.

"A rather strange name, yet it sounds so... Ominous." I giggled, of course ponies wouldn't understand Japanese.

"It roughly translates to Blood Moon, a fitting name if I say so myself." Celestia winced upon hearing that.

"Why would anypony name themselves after something so... Foreboding?" I could tell her query was out of morbid curiosity.

At this point someone else walked into my field of view. It was Luna, albeit her coat was rather uneven, as if she had been hit by some kind of energy beam.

Turning back to Celestia, I decided to explain. "Oh, but watching one rise is a most beautiful sight. Watching as it glides into the sky, back-dropped by thousands of stars, before it casts it's eerie glow upon the land, stirring the creatures of the night into action. It simultaneously announces the beauty of the night, while also warning of the savagery of it denizens. It is truly a sight to behold."

Luna promptly burst into a teary applause.

"It's... It's beautiful..." I spun around so fast I rolled out of the bed. Upon regaining my bearings I was greeted to the sight of six ponies standing at the doorway, laughing.

"Owwww... Just give me a second and I'll be right with you." Standing up couldn't be that hard, could it? Unsteadily pulling myself to my hooves, I saw the purple one give me a look of confusion and concern.

"You don't seem so well, are you sure you should be up and about yet?" I can understand her concern, consider she most likely doesn't know that I used to be a human.

I sighed. "Now if I were anyone else, you would be correct, my equine friend. But for me,it's more of an issue that I wasn't even a quadruped before all this, let alone an alicorn." The look on her face suggested that she had just stepped on a landmine.

Quickly trying to backtrack, she introduced herself and her friends. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. My friends over there, going from left to right are: Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and... Where did Fluttershy go?"

It was about this time I noticed a butter yellow pegasus quivering under Celestia. I couldn't help but give a blank stare. "Do I really look that scary?" Luna sadly nodded.

Attempting to walk up to the window wasn't actually that hard, it's like crawling, except you keep your legs straight. Looking at my reflection, I noticed several things; one,my eyes resembled those of a cat, which explains why I felt my eyes moving in weird ways earlier. Two, I had fangs. And three, my wings resembled those of a bat's or dragon's.

Yeah, I can see that setting off all kinds of 'predator' alarm bell in a pony's head. Turning back to face them, I gave a very slight smirk. "Yeah, I understand that I probably frighten you on an instinctual level, but at the very least, the fangs make for a nice built in letter opener." This was the right thing to say, as several ponies chuckled at that, including Fluttershy.

It was about this time Celestia spoke up. "Now that we have introductions out of way. I will need my sister, Twilight, and Chitsuki to stay here for a more private conversation, the rest of you may leave."

And leave they did. After Celestia shut the door with magic, before she turned towards me. "Now then, let us see how well you can utilize your magic."

Huh? Magic?

Celestia swiftly interrupted my musings. "Now then, first of all, you must find your magic. What I need you to do, is focus and feel deep inside yourself for it."

Ah, okay. I just need to relax and feel for something that wasn't there before.

Wait, what?

"Uhhh, Celestia? Am I supposed to be feeling more then one?"

Luna took a turn to explain it. "Yes actually, considering you are an alicorn, you have the abilities of all three types of ponies, which includes access to their unique forms of magic."

That's only marginally helpful. "So I should be felling three? Well I'm not... I felt four."

Luna sharply inhaled. "Explain."

I complied. "Well the first one felt ancient, yet full of life, like the planet itself. The second one I didn't feel, so much as see. It was an eerie greenish blue, yet when I looked at it from the right angle, It turned a dark crimson, almost like dried blood. The third felt like a light breeze, yet it was crackling with energy."

Celestia nodded. "Yes. You did just describe how the magic of and earth pony, a unicorn, and a pegasus feels. And the forth?"

"The forth, it well, felt cold, yet also like an extension of my very being, moving in perfect sync with my thoughts."

Twilight however, wanted to learn more. "Why don't you try and draw it out? I would like to get a reading of it."

Eh, why not? Reaching inside myself again, I let that icy feeling flow through me. before I could do anything with it, I was interrupted by several gasps.

Opening my eyes, I was greeted to a deep blue, borderline black, cloud of... Something, filled with pinpricks of light, flowing out from under me, before gathering about six feet from my head. Twilight promptly stuck her hoof in it out of curiosity. Upon doing that, I felt a shiver course through my body. It felt like someone had literally stuck a hoof inside of me.

"Don't do that! I can literally feel you putting your hoof in me!" Twilight recoiled in shock, staring at it.

"W-w-well you said it felt like an extension of your very being, maybe it actually is?"

That sounds like an idea. Feeling for it again, I felt it probing me, to be precise, it felt like it was probing for a form I would be comfortable with.

Their was only one appropriate response. "What the absolute, Fruitlooping, fuck?"

Luna gave me a concerned look. "What exactly happened?"

"What it did, was scan my mind to find compatible form I was familiar with!" Yeah, I was slightly panicked.

Thankfully Celestia took the opportunity to give me some advice. "Why don't you try experimenting with it?"

Yes, that would be a good idea.

As the orb of power probed my mind, I poked back to get a good feel for it. As I realized what it was trying to do I tried to feel it, to read it so I knew what it could do. It was a jumbled mess and too hard to read. So I tried to focus on one part that felt protective, and decided to bring it forth.

Opening my eyes, I saw the... miasma, for lack of a better word, enshroud me, before condensing into solid forms, while the Princesses and Twilight stared at it, horrified.

As the remaining miasma flowed back into me, leaving me coated in azure armor, I noticed Luna getting ready to blast me.

"WHOA, WHOA, HOLD YOUR FIRE!" Luna at least didn't vaporize me, but she still kept that spell at the ready. "If you're wondering how I made the armor so easily,I simply tried to bring forth the part that felt protective, and this is the result. I wasnt expecting this any more the you!" Both the Princesses stared at me like they didn't know what the hell i was talking about

Twilight however, looked at me suspiciously. "Explain."

Called it. "It felt like a jumble of info, but it was too scrambled for me to understand, so I simply focused on the part that felt like it was meant to protect, not destroy, and pulled it forth." Twilight pouted, like she was hopeing for some kid a fact that would revolutionize magic.

I interrupted her little moment of adorkableness. "We never did get to using unicorn magic, did we?" She stopped pouting.

Looking at the billow on my bed, I decided to wing it. Imagining the pillow floating into the air, I was surprised to find it actually worked, it was floating about a foot from my face, coated in an ghastly greenish blue aura.

Fuck logic, I have magic. Your argument is invalid.

"Well considering I at least have a handle on the telekinetic part of magic, that leaves two questions. What do the two other kinds of magic do, and how do I keeps ponies from freaking out when they see me?"

Celestia spoke up. "Excellent questions, Chitsuki, to answer the first, pegasus magic will allow you to walk on or manipulate clouds as well as give you a major resistance to temperate extremes and lighting. While earth pony magic will basically make you stronger and more durable. As to the other question, I have no idea."

I yawned. "well I'll think of that later, right now I'm going to sleep."

And by the time I finished that sentence, I was already fast asleep.
