why did i land here?
Chapter 40: Times have changed.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterFor the next couple weeks things went well, twilight healed mostly, celestia completely healed, we had picnics, we had fun, we laughed and played like children, the stress of keeping a country safe off our shoulders, then twilight suggested we go on a victory tour, check on the little towns.
"That sounds awesome, but twilight I have a few questions" I say, we were on the hill across from the castle, applejack and pinkie next to us, dashie overhead. "Yeah?" She asks, "do you hold a grudge for what I did?" I ask, referring to almost killing her, "no, you helped me, even though I was almost killed you took the thing out of my mind, you called it " the carcass" but it had been driving me insane for years, and I couldn't tell anyone, it wouldn't let me" she replies.
"I called it the carcass because the first time I fought it without it using your body I skinned it, I tore out its organs, then it came back to life without anything but being a carcass, hence the name" I say, explaining my naming it.
"I can understand that, but I can't wrap my mind around you ending the war, I must've missed alot, oh and this is for the heat!" She says, hitting me in the shoulder, "so, are we gonna go on a victory tour, or was that just random thinking?" I ask, wondering.
"Yeah, lets talk to the others and see their plans, maybe celestia and Luna will come too, lets go, race ya!" Twilight yells, and immediately my mind goes back to getting hurt racing dashie, but still I race her, landing on the balcony right before her, both of us laughing.
"Hey celestia, if the others agree can we go on a victory tour to all the city's in equestria?" Twilight asks, "you can do anything you want, the wars over, no major responsibility" celestia replies, so we take off, going to get the others.
Twilight went to get everyone on the ground, leaving me to chase down dashie, who was playing games with me and swerving and out maneuvering me at every turn, finally catching her on a straight away, placing her on my back and bringing her to the castle, which she enjoyed the entire way.
"OK, twilight had a idea, we should go on a victory tour!, what y'all think?" I say, feeling pretty high on happiness. I got a "yeah" from all of them, making me and twilight pretty excited, we agreed we would leave the next day, so we had time to prepare.
Our plan was to wear our armour, like big and strong, show equestria the "war" us, so after some prep and a night of good sleep we were ready.
"OK, everyone ready?" Twilight asks us, making sure we had our armour, which we did, "now you all be careful, have fun and be good!" Celestia and Luna see us off, waiving as we take off, dashie, me, and twilight flying the rest running under us, ready and on our way.
After about three hours we find our first city, a good sized town, so we came in for a landing, the others already at the town gates.
"We are the elements of harmony, may we enter?" Twilight says to the guards, who were cowering away fom us because of our size, and without a word they opened them, standing at attention as we passed, over their fear.
As we entered the citizens immediately ran towards us, seeming to know who we were, and as we walked through the streets the crowd behind us grew. approaching the mayors building we were greeted by the mayor, who let us use the podium to make a speach.
"We are the elements of harmony, the last time we were here was almost two years ago, since then we have gained a member, we have fought the war, destruction ended the war" twilight says into the mic, which was my cue to speak.
"I am the element of destruction, you may know me as atom, I'm the source of those craters you might run across near the ocean, but I am the one who destroyed the elkondrians, I am the one who will make ANY threat to your way of life gone, if anything major ever happens, you can guarantee that me and the other elements will be on the scene, we will protect you, we will protect this country, we will protect life" I say, holding my head high with authority, and the crowd goes wild.
The crowd starts chanting "elements, elements!" Over and over as we walk back to the gates, not wanting to take off in town.
We take off, the cheers still following us as we took off, heading towards another town, another crowd.
The next town was only a hour away, running speed, we couldn't fly any faster than the ones on the ground, including fluttershy, she didn't like to fly, or we might lose them.
As we walked into this town it seemed much more modern, the guards putting a hoof across their forhead in salute as we entered, almost like they expected us. The crowd grew much faster around us as we walked to the mayors office, to find her standing on the stairs, ready to greet us.
"Ah yes, we got word the elements would be arriving, but you've all changed, and you have another, tell me, is that who I think he is?" The mayor asks us as we approach, smiling happily, "yeah, that is destruction" twilight answers, the others busy looking around.
"It is a honor to meat you, I've heard alot about what your capable of, I have a trip to one of your craters planned" the mayor says, staring at me, "its a pleasure to meet you too, I don't know what you've heard about me but if you want I can give a demonstration" I say, trying to be dignified, rarity says I'm "uncouth", so I had been working on that.
" that would be lovely, I've heard rumors that you destroyed the entire elkondrian continent with one blow " the mayor says, inviting us into the mayors office, "I did it in two, the first was a warning, the second was the real deal" I say, the others following me and twilight inside.
"So what brings you to our city?" The mayor asks twilight, "well, the wars over, just checking up, plus we were worried that destruction had accidentally wiped out a city or two with his blasts, were making sure your all still here" she replies, making the mayor laugh, "ah yes, that would be a worry, wouldn't it?" The mayor asks, chuckling, "yep" twilight replies, smiling at the idea.
The mayor leads us to the podium so we could make a speech, and me a demonstration.
"Citizens, today we have a very special group of visitors, the protectors of equestria itself!" With this the mayor steps aside, and we walk onto the stage, all seven of us elements, representative of good, and me evil, the crowd grows silent as twilight steps up to the mic, she was after all, the leader of us elements.
"You already know us, were the elements of harmony, we would've liked to stop by sooner and check up on all you sooner, but as you all know we've been at war, in fact not to far from here is a battle sight, it was after that battle I saw this place and I realized we hadn't been back for quite awhile, just know that were always nearby, and were always here to protect you, all of you, as long as we're alive well make sure equestria is!" Twilight speaks, passing the podium back to the mayor.
"Now you all know that there is a new element, you've all heard that he's powerful, and he's agreed to demonstrate the power that the elements hold, presenting the element of destruction!" The mayor announces, stepping back to let me walk up to the mic.
"You've all heard off me, I'm the creator of massive explosions and representative of destruction, I'm pretty sure you don't want me to demonstrate my explosive abilities, so im going to show something that was petty effective during the war" i say, walking to the middle of the stage and facing the side.
I fold my wings in and feel my spines grow from my skin, the entire crowd going silent as they watch, enraptured by what they were seeing, once my spines had fully formed and were sticking out several feet I picked my hooves up, levitating as I curled up and began to spin.
I pushed myself faster than I had ever gone before, almost two million RPM reving up, I held this speed for a minute or so, then quickly spooled down, uncurling and landing on my hooves, my spines retracting into my skin, the crowd completely quiet as I take a step back, letting the mayor back to the mic.
"Well, that's amazing, what use is that designed for?" The mayor asks me, "its a all purpose weapon, whether it be taking out a mothership or a elkondrian army, it gets the job done" I reply, feeling it was a good demonstration, "what's a mothership?" She asks, still using the mic, " what I call motherships were elkondrian vessels, about five hundred feet long, fifty wide, two feet of metal armour, pretty much invincible to normal weapons, like tin to me" I reply, remembering tearing apart ships, "your kidding, we watched seven of those ships pass by once, we all thought it was a royal project!" The mayor says, seeming surprised, "yeah, if there was seven then destruction put them at the bottom of the sea" rarity says, looking like she was reliving a memory.
"Well, that's it for our special guests, lets give a round of applause to them and what they do!" The mayor almost yells into the mic, the applause following us as we left the town, thanking them for having us, and once again we were off.
Dashie had tired after a little while, saying she was built for bursts of speed, not long distance flying, but I think she just liked being on my back, so I carried her.
It was getting late so we decided to set up camp, finding a nice medow to make camp in, me, twilight, and dashie sleeping in trees and the rest on the ground.
It was about three in the morning or so, but I was awoken suddenly by a crackling sound, the moment I open my eyes the branch I was on snaps, sending me plummeting to the ground, which is quite a jolt.
I didn't wake any of the others so I decide just to stay on the ground so I didn't fall any more, sleeping peacefully against the tree.
I awaken to: "didn't he fall asleep in the tree?", courtesy of applejack, the moment they see I was awake saying I can't sleep like that. " Tesla, you can't sleep on your back, it leaves you in plain sight, seriously we don't want to see that" fluttershy says to me, "well then don't look, I fell out of the tree and I was tired, who cares how I sleep?" I reply, standing upright and stretching my limbs, celestia was right, my wingspan had grown further and now topped twenty six feet, and as I looked over I realized fluttershy was staring at my wings, drooling.
"What's her problem?" I ask applejack, we were the only ones up, "a pegasi male shows dominance with a large wingspan, you have the largest wingspan in equestria, she's attracted to you" applejack replies, rearing up and bucking a tree, the same one twilight and dashie were in, and they came crashing down.
It was luck that dashie landed on my back, it wasn't lucky that twilight landed on my neck,pinning my horn and head to the ground. "Please, get, off!" I say, having a hard time breathing with my face in the dirt. "Sorry" twilight replies, getting off my neck, letting me bring my head up and take a breath.
"Now that's a wake up call" twilight mutters, stretching and moving around to bring her body up to speed. "OK, there's three towns on our path today, two of them are just ordinary towns, one of them will personally know Tesla. Twilight announces, "what?" I ask, how could they know me? I wondered, "they live less than a mile from one of your blast sites, I even read the newspaper from the town, " massive fireball followed by devastating explosion, does this prove aliens?"" Twilight says, chuckling slightly.
"Ah, that's just to good, the only extraterrestrial thing about me is my gas" I say, being funny, "well, but still with this town you have to be careful about what you do, half of them are drugged up" twilight continues, starting to put their armour on, (I resized them).
The day went smoothly, we visited the first two towns and got a warm welcome, the third was a bit apprehensive about us, but nothing bad happened why we were inside,so I count that as a plus, and after flying several hundred more miles, and me ending up carrying both dashie and rarity on my back, we had had enough for one day, we settled in for the night.
As we wake up, I don't know what caused me to look at the large, mishappen tree, but when I saw two figures under it I knew something was going on.
"Hey dash, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" I say quietly into her ear, "I see it but I don't believe it" she whispers back, her eyes wide, so I decide to investigate.
I drop out of the tree, landing next to rarity and nearly scaring her to death, "watch it!" She exclaims, but I ignore her and move forward, the others starting to notice the figures.
I ignore the commotion behind me as I approach the figures, the one with glowing red eyes easily discernable as my oldest enemy, pinkamena, the other obviously the carcass.
"I don't know how you got away from being a statue, but your going to regret it" I say, pulling out my knife, "oh, is that so?" Pinkamena replies, not moving a inch as I approach.
"Tesla!, you can't fight them both!" I hear from behind me, probably twilight, but I had something with me they didn't know about, my crystal.
There was a flash of light as I combine with my crystal, it being stored in a strategic place under my wing where it was secure and easy to get to, and as soon as I speed up, or time slows down, I spring into action.
I attacked the carcass first, finally losing it and tearing it limb from limb, blood flying and limbs tumbling, me finishing by impaling the carcass's head on a tree limb, then I realize I had forgot to keep a eye on pinkamena.
The moment I realize this I hear a slow motion scream, and as I look over I see that pinkamena had pulled a knife, and was holding it to dashies throat.
My mind jumps from then to every time pinkamena had tried to kill dashie, and my mind just disappears, I wasn't in control as I charge pinkamena, just stopping her before she sliced dashies throat, throwing her into the ground over and over again, the taste of blood on my lips, driving me past sanity.
The taste of blood must've pushed my brain into a different state, because it tasted SO good, and before I knew it i had bit open pinkamenas body, my muzzle buried in her organs as I ate.
I didn't want to eat pinkamenas organs, but the other half of my brain was in control, I had strewn the intestines around, leaving the blood organs in plain sight.
Sometime during my literally eating pinkamena from the inside out the crystal had popped out of my skin, returning either me or time to normal, and revealing my actions.
"TESLA!, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I hear, but I paid it no heed, I had part of pinkamenas liver in my mouth, and it tasted quite sweet.
"Tesla you get away from her NOW!" I hear dashie say, and I took control back, removing my muzzle from the hole I had made in pinkamenas gut, taking a step back as I finished swallowing her heart.
I look over and realize they all looked queasy, rarity had a puddle of vomit in front of her, applejack had covered her face with her hat, fluttershy a almost green.
It hadn't occurred to me I had committed canibalism, "Tesla, slowly walk away from pinkamena, come on" twilight says, terror in her eyes, and I comply, moving away from pinkamena and towards them, hanging my head down as what I had just done hit me.
"What did I do?, I mean it tasted good but what in the hell?" I say, realizing quickly that not only I had committed canibalism but I had enjoyed it. "Is this because you haven't eaten in like, a week, or do you like the taste?" Dashie asks, looking quite disgusted.
I hadn't eaten in about a week so I was hungry, my body doesn't give a whole lot of notice that I'm hungry, it just waits until I decide to eat, "I do like the taste, it was like sugar and spice, and I haven't eaten in a while so maybe it was hunger, but I'm happy now, so I don't really care" I say, licking my lips to get the blood off them.
"Please, please just shut the fuck up, please!" Rarity says, fluttershy looking like she was just about to add to rarity's puddle of vomit, twilight trying to drown me out with "LA LA LA LA", and pinkie just staring at pinkamenas torn up body, dashie trying to get a answer out of me of why i would do that.
" is this what he did to the carcass?, did he eat its organs out and skin it?" Twilight asks, "no, he just tore it apart, this is something I've never ever seen before" pinkie replies, looking deep in thought.
"Does it really matter what I eat, as long as I kill pinkamena it shouldn't be a problem" I say, wanting to get on our way, "uh, this is a problem, what if you get blood crazed and you turn on us?" Twilight says, seeming serious, "don't you even say you think I'll turn on you, I've got my sanity so I'll always protect you all, if you think I'm dangerous I'll just leave!" I say, making a statement I knew I could hold.
"No, I'm not saying you'd turn on US, but other equestrians might be on your menu, I don't want you to leave, I just want to know you won't lose it completely" twilight says, putting careful wording out there. "OK, you have my word and honor I won't eat any other equestrians, but if pinkamena comes back I'm gonna" I say, "OK, lets just imagine this never happened" twilight says, and we turn to leave, but I catch a glimpse of movement behind a tree.
I silently begin to move forward the tree, making sure both the carcass and pinkamenas dismembered body hadn't moved, whatever it was wasn't very good at hiding, I could see its side, and as I turned the side a familiar face came into veiw.
"Trixe?!?" I say, not expecting to see her, "that is I" she says, taking a step back so she could see my face, "what are you doing out here?" I ask her, "I'm going to Philistine" she replies, walking with me back to the others, "you do realize that's nine hundred miles from here, right?" Applejack asks her, looking to the east, "the great and powerful Trixie knows the way" Trixie replies, "now I must be on my way" she says, tuning to leave.
We let her walk about five steps then spoke. "You do know thats the wrong way?" Twilight says, giggling slightly, "um, yes" Trixie replies, "how about you travel with us?, were headed that way tomorrow" fluttershy asks,seeming to like the idea.
"The great and powerful trixie would like to travel with you, if it gets her there" Trixie says, talking in the third person. "Great, we're heading out in five minutes, can you keep up?" Rarity asks, "yeah" Trixie replies, and we got ready.
I open my wings and make sure that the joints are nice and loose, sometimes when your flying the main joints stiffen up And your forced to land and stretch, which is time consuming. "Your wings are huge!" Trixie says, staring at my wings the same way fluttershy was earlier, which was strange because Trixie a unicorn, she shouldn't be attracted to my wings, but I didn't press it, or even mention it, it was time to go.
We took off, and within a minute outpaced Trixie by a mile, our much bigger legs and faster flying speeds, so we had to rethink.
It brings my mind back to when we had the same problem when I first landed here, so I decided to use a tried and true method.
"Are you sure?" Trixie asks me, "yeah" I say, lifting Trixie onto my back, taking off easily.
"This is awesome!" Trixie yells from my back, watching the clouds pass us as we flew. "Race you!" Dashie yells at me, and for a while I forgot about Trixie on my back, speeding up to mach ten to race dashie.
Rainbow dash will always win a race between us, I'm just to big to accelerate quickly, but Trixie didn't think I was slow, she was hanging on for dear life.
"Whoa!, slow down!" I hear from my back, Trixie had almost been thrown off by my speed, "oh, sorry, forgot about you back there!" I yell over the wind, slowing down.
The entire day was supposed to be travel, the towns very widely spaced, so I decided to get to know Trixie while I had the chance.
"So why you headed to the Philistines?" I ask her, just wondering. "I got a gig with a major magic show, its my second chance at show business" she replies, shifting slightly on my back.
"Seems like a good thing, I hope it works out" I say, dodging a small cloud. "Do you remember when we first met?" She asks, hanging on as I dodge yet another cloud.
"Yeah, I remember it, we got into a power match and I became a skeleton" I say,swerving through a small obstacle course of clouds, the others having chosen to go over it.
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to become a skeleton, that was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! " sh says, and I turn my head to see her, to bad I didn't see the cloud.
I felt my entire body compress as I hit a large cloud, the force twisting my body up and around, leaving me falling in pain, Trixie had been flipped onto the cloud, uninjured and slightly shaken.
As I fell I was flipped head over hoof, catching glimpses of dashie and twilight flying after me, and short images of the ones below, pinkie, fluttershy, applejack, and rarity, I was lucky I didn't land on them.
I hit the ground hard, landing, just my luck, on a large boulder, shattering the boulder and my wing.
The crunch was audible as I hit, my wing bending off at weird angles as I stood up, somewhat disoriented from all the spinning on my way down.
"Tesla!, are you OK?!?" I hear, from fluttershy as she was the first to reach me, "besides my wing, I'm OK" I say, gritting my teeth as I try to move it, to no avail. The rest reach me quickly after fluttershy, twilight flying back up to get Trixie off the cloud while applejack and fluttershy straightened my wing out, dashie not wanting to watch.
"Ahhhhhh!" I yell out as they make the final adjustment to the bones in my wing, putting it back into the placement it was before I ran into the cloud, my god powers that had been developing taking over.
By the time twilight got back with Trixie I had mostly healed, my wing glowing slightly as the bones rejoined and fully aligned, ready to fly within a couple minutes.
"You sure your OK?" Twilight asks as Trixie gets back onto my back, "yeah, I'm fine" I reply, spreading me wings and launching myself in the air, like nothing had even happened.
"Are you invincible or something?" Trixie asks me as I get back to the cloud layer, flying just under them, "no, I'm not invincible but I can heal within minutes, that's all I need" I say, dodging a low hanging cloud, "so basically invincible, get you to the brink of death and you'll come right back" she continues, "no, put me over death and I come back, I've died once" I reply, trying not to remember being dead.
"You've died?!?" Tricks asks, seeming quite shocked, "yep, I was killed in battle and I came to life the next day" I reply, besides my best efforts memories of being dead resurfacing. "What's it like?" She asks, almost yelling over the wind, "the first fifteen minutes are fuck-you moments, your trying to figure out what happened, then you just accept it and move on, staying near the living you once loved" I reply, remembering my experience with death.
"The great and powerful Trixie wishes to know what's its like to be a element" she says, slipping back into her usual mention of herself, "half the time life is wonderful, I'm in a dream, the other half I was in battle, destroying stuff and ending millions of lives, the only really bad thing was those things you saw me kill earlier, I've killed each of them many times before, they just keep coming back to life, and its really a downer, every minute I'm looking over my shoulder, expecting to have to fight one of them" I say, not thinking about what I said.
"Yeah, I saw that, you ate the pink one" Trixie says, fear creeping into her voice, "I don't know what happened, really, I lost control of my actions and the taste of blood on my lips, it put my brain in a feeding frenzy, I just lost control" I say, feeling kinda guilty for my actions.
For the next hour or so I didn't hear a peep from Trixie, until twilight called a break, and I got a idea, a really stupid idea.
I folded in my wings, tucked in my legs, and listened to trixies scream as we plummeted towards the ground, catching us right before we hit, scaring Trixie senseless.
"Don't you ever do that again!" She yells, trying to take a breath but having trouble. "That isn't nice Tesla" I hear dashie say, although smiling with the rest of us. "OK, lets rest for a hour then we'll get back to traveling" twilight says, so after getting Trixie off my back I fly up and get a chunk of cloud to nap on, dashie joining me.
"Let's get going" I hear, waking me from my nap, but all that flying had worn dashie down, so I placed her on my back with Trixie, having trouble taking off but once I was in the air I didn't even notice it.
"I thought your name was destruction, why do they call you Tesla?" Trixie asks once we were in the air. "My NAME is Tesla, my element is destruction" I reply, scanning the sky ahead for clouds. "What does Tesla mean?" Trixie says, "its derived from " Tesla coil", a device that produces high voltage " I reply, creating more questions than answers.
"" what's a Tesla coil? " she asks, making me turn my head to answer, "look at my cutie mark" I say, quickly turning my head back so I didn't repeat earlier. "So it makes lightning?" She asks, brushing my cutie mark, "want a demonstration?" I ask, "yeah!" She replies, and I loose some lightning.
I made sure I didn't hit the ones running on the ground with lightning, loosing several bolts of long lightning, it striking the ground and making small explosions, "haha, awesome!" She exclaims, watching the lightning by leaning over my side, and I decide to ask some questions.
"Hey Trixie, what's with that amulet you wear?" I ask, referring to the deep red jeweled necklace, sorta like my elemental one, she always wore. "It's a power amplifier, it makes me stronger" she replies, looking at the necklace, "makes sense, the only necklace I've ever wore was my elemental one, it gives me most of my powers" I say, "yeah, I've seen you with it" she says, and it makes me think.
"Wait, I only wear it during battle, have you watched us fight?" I ask, deep in thought, "uh, yeah, I watched one of your battles" she replies, seeming nervous, "you're incredibly lucky that it wasn't one of the ones I went nuclear, you would've been desinigrated by the blast" I say, making it known to her it was a bad idea.
"Yeah, I guess I am, but I was passing through the woods and saw you all appear on a hill, I was curious and watched you moved into the woods away from the others putting on your necklace and doing what it is you do, then you curled up and spines grew from your back, you started spinning, then you launched yourself towards the ships" she says, pinning the battle down for me.
"You watched the first battle I did after I came back to life, I learned the disc thing while I vwas dead." I say, and the rest of the flight is silent, dashie eventually waking up and flying again.
We called it a day after about six hundred or so miles, settling down to sleep, this time I made sure to pick a branch that could hold me, dashie curling up on my stomach, covered by my wings when I closed them over her, together we drifted oexplanation.
What made me look over at where twilight was I don't know, maybe my mind had pretty much tuned in to pinkamenas scent, but as I opened my eyes I saw pinkamena on the branch above twilight, and in one quick motion she cut twilights neck, my brain jumping into action.
I jumped up and instantly lunging at pinkamena, I had forgot dashie was on me so she ended up falling, waking the others.
I knocked pinkamena off the branch, a good hit from my horn piercing her skull, killing her instantly, but the damage had already been done.
I rip pinkamena in half, literally her lower body was separate from her upper, and I rushed to help twilight.
Pinkamena had cut twilights jugular, all I could do until we got her help was keep pressure on it, that and keep her calm, she had woken up.
"Trixie, the Philistines are two miles that way" I say, pointing a hoof, "everyone else gather around!" I yell, they obeying and gathering around as I teleport us back to the castle.
We land in front of celestia, who was rubbing herself openly, making her jump a second later as she realizes we were there, "pinkamena cut twilights throat!" I say, it being enough explanation.
"Oh my, get her on her bed now!, fluttershy can you fix this?" Celestia says as soon as she overcomes her shock, "yeah" fluttershy answers, running to get her cart.
There I was, pacing outside twilights door as fluttershy tried to help her, dashie on my back, applejack, rarity, and pinkie in the main room, then the carcass attacked.
It flew in the window without warning, immediately going to me, but I had had enough, no more pinkamena, no more carcass, no more bullshit.
I act like I didn't hear anything as it approached me from behind, but I started working up energy, preparing to get rid of this thing once and for all.
It suddenly picked up speed, running at me, at the last second I flip around and put a hoof on its horn, releasing the energy in a spell I had found in one of twilights books long ago.
In a burst of light the carcass was gone, its skeleton falling to the floor, I had banished it, I had banished it from equestrian soil, but now I had to deal with the consequences of using that much energy, the world goes black and I fall, right on my face.
"Waky waky Tesla, time to get up!" Someone says, rousing me from my slumber. "What?" I say, kinda groggy, "you've been out of a day or so, how you feeling?" I hear, realizing it was Celestia, standing in the doorway. "I'm tired, but I'm ok" I reply, getting up.
Celestia explains that when I banished the carcass I had created a huge wave of energy, that's what caused me to pass out, most of my magic had been wasted, she also said that she didn't expect me to even wake up, using that much energy can be fatal.
As soon as dashie saw me she found her place on my back, saying not to scare her like that again.
I quickly found out twilight was going to be OK, fluttershy had rejoined the jugular and closed it up, although it might be se deal days until twilight could move, her lungs had filled with blood and weren't getting enough oxygen to her muscles to even get up.
I was just looking in a mirror when I got the news, celestia had found a way to get me home.
Next Chapter: I go home. Estimated time remaining: 4 Minutes
