The Alter Accords

Chapter Twenty Seven: In Our Dreams.

Celestia sighed gently on her throne. Another hard day of governing and guiding her ponies was behind her and soon it would be her sister’s turn for her court. It had been quite a time in the month since the defeat of Plaga; she had been reassuring her ponies that the dark magic user had been defeated, but because of his use of said magic his body became unstable and reduced to a goo that was being held so that it couldn’t taint anything. A mass funeral was held for all the victims of the scourge of Canterlot and she knew that it weighed heavily on the conscious of Lego and his brothers, whom visited the mural left for the victims.

Speaking of Lego and his brothers, they were doing much better in their recovery. They had a week where they were sleeping off the effects that Plaga and the elements had caused in them but after that they showed no negative effects. In fact their health improved like Celestia had thought it might with Plaga no longer siphoning off their life force and magic. A second opinion from a specialist proved that theory as fact and that Lego should gain normal mobility and function back to his body with therapy. While that didn’t mean they would regain their changing ability, cutie marks, or coat colors, it did mean they were no longer on a timer for their life span; they would be able to live out full life spans, albeit with maybe ten or so years cut off the end but not a significantly limited time like before.

The best part of this was the fact communications were restored between Lego and his brothers, Velox and Novo, though they couldn’t take over the body to control, but at least they could get Lego to relay their thoughts. This fact got positive responses from the elements in Ponyville, who was often writing them to see how they were. Though with the recent changes in Ponyville, as well as all of Equestria honestly, the elements had been too busy to visit. Celestia had been waiting in anticipation for that visit just to see the look on Lego’s face when he came to see why they had not been able to visit. Though if her sister and her student had their way that visit may come sooner, which would be perfect if the way they had come up with works properly.

‘Hmmm my sister isn’t due to wake for some time yet so now I am left with the question of…what to do?’ The Alicorn thought to herself as the echo of her teleportation faded from her room. “Too early for a piece of cake, even if that does sound good. Too late for brunch, so I can’t eat a mango or cantaloupe. I suppose I could read, but there isn’t anything interesting that I haven’t read bef-OH!” Quickly moving around and shuffling through papers and documents she came across the thing she wanted; a stack of papers. “AHA! The hunt for the killer took up so much of my time and attention that I had forgotten about you. Let me see what other secrets you can provide answers to.”

Sitting down and pouring herself a cup of tea she looked over the papers that were left behind when they had thought Lego had been taken. Celestia made a mental note to hoof the book back over to him to finish translating once his therapy was more or less complete.

“There they go again. That is the fourth time this week and we are only half way through it.” Came the voice to my left, I do not remember the name of this Alicorn but I do remember the worried look in their eyes.

This had started becoming more and more common as True Devotion and her troops were sent out to deal with emerging monsters. Creatures unlike any that had been seen before. It took many, many years to calm most of the wildlife before when the chosen arrived but never before had monsters like these had been seen. Creatures looking as if they were smashed together and left to wonder the world mixed up, misshapen, and more often than not with terrifying gifts ranging from stingers filled with a debilitating poison, to fire breath. These creatures with seemingly little sentience were little more than animals, sometimes even less than that.

It is because of this that True Devotion had called in her troops and were going around exterminating them where found, except now there was a new problem; they were breeding. Before it seemed as if these creatures were just cobbled together out of boredom from another Alicorn’s magic only now it seemed as if whoever was doing this had perfected the molds they were working with as all of their creations were viable. Spreading in areas where Alicorns didn’t want to tread and thriving there, swamps, deep forests, marshes, canyons, deserts, wastelands, and more.

A menace was spreading. As such I had been to a few meetings just to overhear the Chosen talking about what it is they should be doing before agreeing with the plans of wiping out nests where found. Alicorns had already tried to tame these beasts before but they seemed to have no interest at all almost as if they had been commanded to attack on sight with how hostile they had been when spotted.

When not discussing the possible menace that was taking over the lands outer edges though, the topic usually changed to the ‘Ponies’ that were created a few years ago. Three Tribes: Earth Ponies formerly the Terrains, Pegasus or Pegai for short, and Unicorns. Seems they had separated themselves from each other and were entering a separatist’s mentality, to keep each tribe to themselves. Then again it is no surprise that this would happen considering what the Chosen had done. They promised they wouldn’t interfere with them yet they had, they were asked to in fact. Many of them couldn’t handle remembering their pasts now that they knew they couldn’t go back so had asked the Chosen to alter and change their memories making them forget they were ever Alicorns to begin with.

The Chosen had no problems with this at all because most of them had said they were appalled by their creation, even Dreamer had spoken up against them. It seemed the black and white Alicorn of Hope had become more…assertive then he used to be, speaking up more often in counsel meetings that he attended. Speaking of Dreamer, he used to seem close to many of the Chosen before his reform but now seemed to keep all of them at a respectful distance, none could blame him either, if you were blasted and torn apart from part of your very essence then it would surely earn your respect of them if nothing else. The other thing is that, since his claim to have beaten Premier Legerdemain with the creation of ponies he has claimed that he wants to devote more of his time and study to bettering himself in solitude, none of the Chosen apposed this and in fact thought it was a good idea.

He claimed he wanted to better himself; to make sure a mistake like before would never happen. He claimed he wanted to make things better, to bring about the fruition of his element. He claimed that he was learning what he needed to do to make sure that all of Alicorn kind knew of his contribution and would speak of the day he comes out with the perfect thing to donate to all of Alicorn kind. He was right, I just wish he wasn’t.

My little Celestia had just left with her mother who was already very swollen with our next foal; I couldn’t wait to meet her which shouldn’t be too long from now. However the meeting that I will never forget came to pass. The Chosen was dissolving.

“What do you mean you are leaving the Chosen?!” It was me and my employer Legerdemain along with four others: Ardent Bravery, Clear Absolve, Graceful Gift, and Resolute Choice.

It was Absolve that spoke for the four that were there and what she said always left me with a sense of amazement for what they had kept hidden. “We are leaving for self imposed exhale as we had helped Dreamer with the ritual to make the Alicorns into ponies.”

Premier’s eyes widened beyond what I thought possible as his mouth opened and closed many times before just asking the simple question. “What?”

“We had been watching Dreamer and he has been right about his theory. If there is a lack of an element that we represent in our Alicorns then we lose power and eventually fade. We watched and tested him ourselves over the years and his power had dropped considerably to below that of a normal Alicorn.” The voice of Resolute said. “He theorized that he would fade within another few years or even just die. He wasn’t the only one either, I myself had noticed a similar decline during those years and it wasn’t just me either.”

Each of the four there nodded and agreed as Graceful took up the speech. “We came to the conclusion with Dreamer that there needed to be something out there that reflected our needs. He said that with the creation of ponies that our needs would be met but they aren’t. As such we are going out there to create our own races, not separating Alicorns into something else though; we will each make our own from scratch. Since you tore apart Dreamer for his conviction we are placing ourselves away from the council so that no punishment may come to us since we are not doing anything to Alicorns.”

“This is madness; you would abandon us to chase after the delusions of a mad pony?” The Alicorn of magic shouted. “You would leave your duties that the mother above all gave to us?”

“Yes.” It was the gentle and soft spoken Clear who spoke once more. “None of us are needed here, you six have proven yourselves more than capable to rule and guide without us. Dreamer is…no longer himself, whatever it was that was done to him made him into something else, no longer the Alicorn he once was and that protected us from punishment by taking the responsibility himself. It is because of this and for the guilt that we should have shared in his punishment that we leave. To atone for what we did, as well as to carry out his wishes, to create something that will help us to live as well as something that will benefit the world. We believe this is our mission that the mother gave us and that she would approve of where our hearts are taking us. As such we wished to tell you of the territories we will inhabit as well as the races we will create.”

Bravery spoke first with a smile. “I will be moving to the east, beyond the heavy mountains to the harsh terrain and wilderness beyond. I will be creating beasts that can stand on too legs, the horns and hooves of a bull but the torso of a primate who will show no fear and have great strength of body and will. I will call them Minotaurs.”

Resolute Choice followed up his example as she spoke. “I will be seeking out the rocky islands and gem filled mountains, creating a reptilian creature with wings and magic of their own and will let nature show me how it comes out in good time. Their determination to fulfill their goals will be second to none: I will call them: Dragons.”

Premier had his mouth gaped opened at what he heard as Graceful was the next to voice her direction. “To the south, the wastes and deserts where my kind will flourish, though it is our hope that one day we may come and exchange pleasantries with the other races as once my race is fully evolved, they will need other races to depend on to sacrifice something freely to them, Love. However because of their true nature and how some may not want to sacrifice for them I will give them the ability to blend in with others. Thus I will call them Changelings.”

The Alicorn of magic looked to the last his heart in his eyes as if saying not to do this even as she spoke. “And I will go north to the cold mountains, to make a race of avian hybrids with the pride of a lion and the grace of an eagle. There pride will lead them to many mistakes but their grace will surely allow them to forgive each other for when it steps too far out of line. Wings like a pegasus or Alicorn with similar ability to manipulate weather if not in such a great degree. I name them Griffons.”

Clear Absolve’s voice faded from the room as silence took over. “Fine, go.” Were the only words that Premier spoke before making a dismissive motion with his hoof. Each Alicorn left one by one though Clear seemed to linger at the doorway longer than the others before she too vanished.

“Sir?” I asked when he had not spoken for nearly ten minutes. Looking at the leader of the Chosen while it was just us, I couldn’t help but want to ask as it had been on my mind for some time. “If they had told you it was all of them when you found out, would you have done the same to them as you did to Dreamer?”

“Yes. Yes I would have. However, that is neither here nor there. They have chosen their punishment, as such I will go about striking their names from the records and as such no longer will they ever be mentioned do you understand Terra Cotta?” I gave an affirmative answer. “Good.”

“Sir?” I asked once more as there was one last thing I had to ask. “Whatever did you do with the stuff you took from Dreamer?”

I could see the look on his face, there was a moment he considered disregarding my question outright, to this day I don’t know why he didn’t. “It is in my private lab underneath a forest that grows abundantly thanks to the magic that comes off me when I create spells and such.”

The next question came out of mouth before I even thought it through fully. “Could you put it back together with Dreamer if you wanted?”

The stagnant silence was thick, so thick at that moment I thought to teleport away from it, thankfully it didn’t last long. “No. Even if I wanted to I couldn’t, two or more beings born from the same entity cannot be put together after separation. At least not without corruption or overlapping of personalities which may result in the deletion or partial erasure of one or more of the personalities that were created as a result of the separation that originally occurred. I learned that from Dreamer if you remember. Besides it was the spell he created that resulted in his separation, the purest essence of him is what is left.”

“But was it right?” I was pushing me luck, I knew it. I couldn’t help myself though it was as if I had to know.

“I stand by my decision.” My employer told me. I may not be the smartest stallion ever, but even I noticed that he never answered my question.

Not much in quantity for this translation it seemed but then again Lego had been interrupted before he continued so he was to be expected. However her mind was now concerned with the information contained within. ‘If this is true, that means virtually every single sapient species known. Minotaurs, Changelings, Dragons, Griffons, Ponies. Diamond dogs aren’t a part of that equation but then again they were originally a monster race that became civilized. Zebra’s could be a variant of ponies as could the Crystal ponies, Saddle Arabians, and Seaponies…well maybe not them, but still. The felines again are the same as the Diamond Dogs in that they evolved that way. So that would account for every race.’

So engrossed in her thoughts as she was she missed the distinctive sound of teleportation. “Good afternoon Tia!”

“AHHH!” Celestia yelled as she fell out of bed with a shuffle of hooves moving but gaining no traction. “Oh it is just you Lulu. Sorry I was…caught up in thinking about things. Also you are up early; I didn’t think you would show up so soon.”

The lunar Alicorn just shrugged and smiled. “So what were you thinking about?”

All the princess did was hoof over the documents for her to read and when she was done there was silence for a good minute or two. “I can see why your thoughts would be far away. A lot of this is hard to take in but we can’t dispute any of it, but it all makes sense in its own way.”

The older sister of the two was confused about this even going so far as to slightly tilt her head to the side. “What do you mean?”

Sitting on her haunches the night time guardian looked at her sister with a smile. “All of the races mentioned have some form of magic. Dragons have it mixed with their bodies and flames, Changelings have their own brand of spells fueled by emotions as well as their mimicking abilities.” So far Celestia was nodding understanding where she was going. “Minotaurs have the passive magic in their bodies that almost make them like earth ponies, and Griffons have similar abilities as pegasi yet again they tend to have magic embedded in their bodies.” Looking at her sister Luna spoke up even louder. “All of them are contained magical creatures, as in most of their magic is in their bodies. Four supreme Alicorns who disliked the absolute power that Alicorns wielded would want a way to contain the powers of the race they made so they didn’t fall into the same follies as the race they left. However all of the powers diverged from Alicorn power.”

Celestia thought about that for a moment and she agreed with nearly all of it. “Ok, Dragons I can see, except their fire. Griffons I agree completely along with Minotaurs in how they operate. Changelings though, I can’t see that Lulu.”

Luna grinned; it was the type of smug grin all little sisters give to their older ones when they find themselves out thinking the other. “Oh but I can explain those as well. We ourselves came up with how to manipulate dragon fire as if it were a spell finding the basis of it similar to unicorn spells already. If the fire was based off magic that Alicorns have, and unicorns came from Alicorns…”

Face hoofing rather hard Celestia groaned at that. “Means that it was just a base formula we could have found on our own if we thought of it but built into them.”

Nodding in satisfaction Luna continued. “Now as for the Changelings, look no further than our dear niece.” The solar princess almost got upset at that only for Luna to hold up a hoof to stop her. “Let me finish Tia. Her power amplifies love and helps others to connect with what is already there. She also has powerful shields that use love in their matrices. That is a type of Emotomancy is it not? However what we do not consider is that she may only be a novice Emotomancer compared to a Changeling who had their affinity to such a magic built into them as they were created. Surely the Alicorns of the past knew much, much more about such techniques then us today who only have hoof-me-down scraps of knowledge. As before their bodies also have magic built into them for changing, the basis of which is transmutation of a much more advanced nature then what we have now.”

The pastel princess of the sun could dispute none of that; all of it seemed like viable answers to questions that could no longer be answered. That is what stung her the most, that the questions that were answered with the translations brought another dozen she thought would never be answered.

No matter, shaking her head from her more serious questions for now, she looked to her sister. “So sister, how is your student’s project coming along?”

This only caused the dark coated Alicorn to smile as her horn lit up teleporting in two boxes. “They are done, though they need to be calibrated she said. The users of these are to wear them for at least six hours none stop before wearing them to bed the first night. After that it is just a matter of putting them on before sleep. I am rather impressed with Trixie’s knowledge and how quickly she was able to put this together, though she said it was imperfect and that she plans to refine the model so it can be worn instantly or at least cut the calibration time to a single hour or less.”

The two boxes were opened and inside were ten circlets well eleven with the place for the last one empty. “Why so many?”

Celestia watched as one was floated up and placed on her head followed by her sister wearing one. “Of course we are going to be using them as well. That is two, Lego will be wearing one making three, plus six for the elements and one for Spike making that makes ten.”

“And the last?” She asked while adjusting the circlet to be more comfortable on her head.

Luna ears folded for a moment before going back to normal. “Trixie said she wished to apologize to everypony for her past actions.”

Even she winced at that knowing it may not go as Trixie wished, but there was always hope. ‘Hope, that is what created our little ponies. Hope was what was changed after being deemed wrong. It makes me wonder if any pony knows what hope really is anymore or if we are only going off the notion that we thought was supposed to be hope.’

Lighting up her horn the Diarchy prepared their letter. “Let us make a copy of the instructions for Twilight and her friends but let us not tell them who all will be inside the dream. Let them just think it is just us with a new device that needs testing.” Though Celestia wanted to be playful Luna winced making her older sister sigh. “You already sent them instructions didn’t you?”

Looking abashed Luna turned her head away. “I may have already made a copy and sent it to them out of excitement so they already know who all will be involved.”

Separating the boxes up the seven meant for Ponyville was sent off via dragon fire along stomach medication in case the package upset the tiny dragon’s digestive system on the other side. Both sisters were about to leave when Celestia stopped her sister with a question.

“What happens if we can’t escape the effects of the Oneiro Circlets Lulu?” The older sister asked a bit concerned only to get a cocky grin.

“Dear sister.” Luna began. “This is my realm we are talking about, trust in me.” She said before vanishing.

The tricolored mane of the sun Alicorn flew in the breeze as a smile came over her face. “I always have and always will sister.”

Laying back in his hospital bed Lego looked out the window. It had been a tough day of rehabilitation and while he was still having trouble walking any amount of distance, it was more than before Plaga had taken him over. In the end that alone made him proud of his progress. Soon he might be back to walking to his old place and to the palace again, though till then the diarchy had insisted he stay at the hospital till he was well enough to travel at least that distance and back on his own without worry.

Speaking of the princesses Lego looked in the mirror across his room. On his head stood circlet that looked to be made of braided gold and silver bands, yet he could find no way in which they were two separate pieces, all of that completed with a dark blue stone placed in it that rested on his forehead. Oneiromancy was not a subject he was at all knowledgeable about but if he had to peg anypony as an expert it would be the Princess of Dreams herself so no doubt the Oneiro Circlets would work.

Yawning he looked back to his bed and rested his head on the pillows. “So, if this is right, then we are going to go to some kind of dreamscape right?”

‘It’s what Luna said would happen.’ Novo called to him, said voice was so welcoming to hear after its long absence, but none more so then the next voice that was heard.

‘Trust in Moonbutt. She knows what she is doing, though yes I am worried too since it was Trixie that made these.’ Velox spoke in their mind which all the brothers could agree was a worry. ‘Still, if Moonbutt vouches for her that she has changed, we have to give her a shot. If nothing else it is what Cascade would want.’

None of them would argue that point ever. Cascade and Trixie were sisters, the latter being the younger sister of the two. Cascade was the pony that came to their minds first and foremost about family though she was quickly finding herself in good company with several other mares.

“Plus, Twilight is all about friendship, so we should give her another chance. Even though those chances have come back and bitten us in our flanks in the past and it may do so again in the future.” Lego said out loud wincing remembering the name curse they had been subjected to twice now.

‘You just want to give Twilight more of a reason to play smoochy face with you the next time you see her.’ Lego could hear the grin in Velox’s voice no doubt making up for lost time in teasing his brother.

Novo was smirking as well and stifling laughter as he joined in. ‘Mhm I mean we already know how she feels and she seems to have felt that way for a long while, well before Plaga took us over completely. So while we know you have those doubts in your head don’t you dare think of them. I will kick your flank hard myself. Wait, I am weakest of us, Velox you do it.’

‘Like I need an excuse to wipe the floor with him.’ He had missed this it was so nice to hear even if it was all about teasing him. Of course it was with those thoughts that he managed to drift off as the blue gem on the circlet started to glow.

The first thing that Lego was aware of was the breeze. It was soft, warm, and smelled of flowers, grass under his hooves and trees all around; it was very pleasant and had him closing his eyes to enjoy. The second thing he was aware of was the fact he wasn’t alone wherever it was he was.

“I had forgotten how much bigger you are then me.” The voice caused Lego’s eyes to quickly snap open and look to his right. A shorter unicorn stood there whose coat was the same green as the forest leaves around them and golden yellow mane that reminded him of a sunny day.

The sounds of feathers rustling came from his left and a groan of a stretch making his eyes water as he looked in that direction. “Forget how big he is, I forgot how nice wings feel. At least I can enjoy them somewhere if never again.” The Pegasus that spoke was in the middle of inspecting his dark blue wings the same color as his coat that complemented violet mane.

“You both look great.” He told them, his voice nearly choking up with how happy he was. Moving to rub his eyes he stopped and looked at his leg.

“Seems we are as we remember ourselves in the past here and not as we are now Lego.” Novo told him as he too started to stretch his legs. “Big with a rusty mane and dark red coat just as I remember you.”

A familiar voice spoke up interrupting the brotherly moment. “Indeed you do strike an impressive figure.” The sound and sight of door opening out of thin air before them caught them by surprise as Luna stepped through. “It seems my student has done some impressive work.” Luna’s eyes sparkled for a moment before she came and hugged each of them. “It is good to see each of you, though it is rather disorienting to see all three of you at the same time.”

“Lego, you really are big, I mean not as big as Big Mac, but when standing next to Moonbutt you look normal.” He was told from above as Velox was stretching his wings in the air.

The sound of Luna giggling made them all start to laugh as well before she gathered her composure. “We should get moving the others are waiting.”

All three of the brothers stopped and looked at her. “Others?” Spoke all three voices at once at the same time. “When you gave me the circlet you didn’t tell me others were involved.”

They spied a smirk play across the Alicorn’s muzzle for a moment as she turned away from them. “Did I forget to mention that? How silly of me. However we are wasting time, so follow me.”

Luna went through the door she had entered from and beckoned with a wing for the three of them to follow. As they passed through the door they found themselves in a corridor that seemed to be made purely of the night sky wrapped around in a tunnel that they were being led down.

“So who else did you give circlets to and why didn’t you tell u-” Velox cut himself off and was staring wide eyed when he heard voices.

“-ya look like that Twi’ Ah mean why aren’t ya, ya know? Ah am sure he won’t judge ya none for it.” The familiar southern drawl spoke out loud to which it was responded to.

“I am just not comfortable with it just yet Applejack. I mean it hasn’t been so long since the spell was reversed and that happened.” Lego smiled hearing the voice as he would have guessed about who was given circlets.

Looking to Luna he smiled. “I am guessing at least six to seven ponies are waiting for us down this corridor?”

Turning down the path they soon came to a door which Luna smiled at. “Let’s go in so you can see shall we?” Opening up the door the princess stepped through it. “Hello my friends. We have arrived.”

Inside was a place much like where Lego and the others had woken up to, the only difference here was nine sets of eyes: Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Celestia, and finally Trixie.

Welp, it was nine sets of eyes right before one set vanished in a multihued trail before tackling Novo to the ground and holding him there in a lip lock. “Guess she missed him.” Velox said chuckling only to go wide eyed when a lasso looped around him and pulled him to the Stetson wearing pony and only stopping when they were nose to nose he gave a grin spoke. “First pinning me down and now tying me up. I think somepony has a fetish.”

All of the ponies gathered, minus Novo and Rainbow Dash, looked at the pair of which only the apple mare was blushing heavily. “Shut up why don’t ya?” That was all she said before the two of them kissed.

It warmed Lego’s heart to see the two of them reunited with their special someponies that was before he turned to see Twilight walking up to him looking nervous as he felt watching her come up to him. “H-hey there.”

He watched as the purple unicorn rubbed her hoof into the dreamscapes grass. “Hi.” It was at a volume that came close to Fluttershy’s even if the yellow pegasus still had her beat. “It is good seeing you like you used to be. I mean not that I don’t like seeing you normally, but I mean that it is great to see you healthy, not that you aren’t healthy now just not as healthy as before which is to say that…I mean…”

She trailed off cause slowly but surely Lego was laughing not able to stop himself with how adorable she was acting. “It’s ok Twilight. I understand completely. It’s good seeing me in the red again instead of in the white that I am used to.” He told her while looking at one of his legs

“I meant what I said before.” She told him suddenly bringing him out of his observations looking up at her to see her becoming as red as his coat. “About liking you.”

The sounds of all his friends stopped, even the wet sounds of lips locked together as Lego came up to lean down and nuzzle the mage. “Even if he responded for me, Plaga told you of my feelings for you already. They had not changed and you don’t have to worry. I feel the same way about you Twilight Sparkle.”

Some part of his mind registered the awws of his friends; some part of him was embarrassed. Mostly though he was just feeling the return of the nuzzles he was giving to Twilight as she rubbed back.

“This calls for a PARTY!” Pinkie shouted loudly causing an echo to go through the clearing in the forest before suddenly there were tables filled with snacks, punch, cake, party favors and more.

“How…oh wait a dream right.” Spike said before smiling and suddenly he was taller than Celestia and looked to have muscles on his muscles as well as a cape on his back before he took off into the air. “Aww yeah!”

“I wish I could fly like that.” The mare next to him said with a sigh.

Lego chuckled and waved a hoof at the dragon in the air. “Well you can.”

There was a shocked look on Twilight’s face as he said that making him wonder why it was such a shock. “I-I can’t fly, I mean I would need wings and I don’t have those.”

“But it’s just a dream Twilight. You can do and be anything here, so adding some wings shouldn’t be hard if you really want to fly.” He told her gently with a smile.

There was a moment where relief washed away the shock and fear on her face as she gave a sigh. “Oh, I thought you meant…never mind but yes you are right, but I am happy where I am, right next to you.”

If this was his normal body the blush he had would be easily seen, instead he was glad for his old colors in the dream to hide it and just nuzzled up to Twilight.

It was touching while it lasted only for a cough to interrupt it as Lego, Velox, and Novo all looked towards the blue unicorn mare with silver and light blue mane as she looked down at the ground. “Trixie…Trixie. No, I wanted to apologize to each of you for what I put you through. I held a grudge that was misguided and wrong and made you pay a price no pony should pay. It doesn’t matter if I was being controlled by the Amulet or not it is still my fault.”

Lego wasn’t sure what to say and all the ponies there were staring at Trixie, seems he wasn’t the only one as Novo was silent as well. “Been there done that, no need to apologize.” It was Velox who said it as his wing waved it off. “I was captured by Plaga the essence of the amulet and forced to do lots of things that he wanted. It’s no different for you so while you may feel guilt, it’s not your fault and you don’t need to apologize for that.”

He knew better though, he knew that all three of them felt so much guilt for what was done using their body. Velox was doing this to make the mare feel better about what had happened without a second though.

Nodding he smiled to Trixie as well. “Velox said it best but I do agree.”

“Same.” Novo said still on the ground under Rainbow Dash as it seems he understood what went on as well. “Just as long as you don’t try to murder us in the future we forgive you.”

The show mare wiped away tears as they started to flow from her eyes thanking each of them over and over again. It was on that happy note that the dream party started.

Lego found himself talking with Luna and Celestia about the translations and what they had read so far, getting into a rather in detail theories about what had happened in the past as well as guesses on what else was written in the book.

Fluttershy was with Twilight for a while and seemed to have been asking softly about the way she looked though Lego couldn’t hear what they said so he assumed it was to do with why she had not changed how she looked in the dream or something along those lines.

Luna eventually found herself talking to Rarity who was wondering if the dreamscape could be used as a workshop idea since ideas could be brought out in full force here. The Princess had surprisingly been agreeable with that and was even offering suggestions and ideas to the seamstress.

Rainbow Dash left Novo’s side long enough to visit Velox telling him about her progress with the current as Pinkie showed up and the subject became about pranks and the like.

With Novo alone Twilight went to pick his brain about some of his magicks, Lego thought this was the funniest interaction of the night as finally after so long could Novo let loose and started to recount how many times she had broken the laws of physics with her magic and certain transmutations though it did spark a rather interesting debate about quantum fields interacting with theoretical shape retention of all objects that all objects were aware even if they didn’t possess a mind or brain to be aware of with.

Spike eventually got to hang out with Velox and Novo recounting tales and just having a generally good time with each other spending some quality guy time, which he passed on. Why? Simple as he was currently leaning against Twilight as she nuzzled him and he nuzzled her. He was content with things even if Pinkie was getting everypony up to play games every now and then. He was actually glad this was a dream as with how Celestia was enjoying the cake it should have ran out ages ago.

He caught another snippet of conversation as his brother and Applejack walked close enough. “Ah wanted to thank ya.”

The rope of the lasso had been removed from around him as they walked close with a wing over the mare’s back. “You’re welcome…now what are you thanking me for exactly?”

A shoulder bump came and rocked him back a few steps before he went back beside her. “All the good words ya put out to places. A lot of ponies sent out deals to us, so much so that Sweet Apple Acres now has plenty of farm hooves to work it all and plenty of bits comin’ in our way.”

It was rather funny to see Velox get embarrassed by that as he looked away rubbing at the back of his neck chuckling. “Nah, that was all that much, just sent out a few letters is all, it was you who hooked them in with a good product.” All that got for him was a soft part of lips against his in a touching and tender moment.

Another rather funny moment came when Rainbow Dash spoke to Novo’s ear too soft for any pony to hear but made him blush so red Big Mac’ would have been impressed. “Luna, is there a way for us to make small enclosed off rooms if we wanted to talk privately with other ponies?”

The princess of dreams looked to Rainbow Dash as she asked that and nodded with a smile. “Of course, just open up the door and imagine it leading to a room is all.”

Dash just grinned at that and turned away letting her tail play against Novo’s nose gently as she spoke. “This way lover colt.”

For a moment the unicorn didn’t move before starting to quickly trot after here. “Yes my spectrum.”

Pinkie Pie gave some wolf whistles to that as did Velox. “Ride em Cowpony!” He shouted to them as they vanished behind the door.

That was until a lasso wrapped itself around him and started pulling him to the door. “Nope, that is mah job.”

Velox’s eyes grew wide as AJ pulled at him only for him to sputter out loud. “Wait what?” If he said anything more Lego never heard as the door closed behind them. Then again, he wouldn’t have heard it anyways from how loud he was laughing at that moment.

“I wouldn’t laugh if I was you.” Twilight told him gently against his neck.

His laughter calming down but only to a chuckle he asked. “Oh and why not?”

She opened her eyes and smiled at him. “Cause if they have good dreams then whose body reacts to it?”

It only took a second for him to realize what she meant. “That is going to be an awkward conversation to have with the nurse in the morning about why the sheets need to be changed.”

Author's Notes:

You all didn't think I would leave Velox and Novo hanging without some way of communicating to the others did you all? That is why I made the Oneiro Circlets. Now we will get to see alot more moments between some of our favorite couples.

You may want to make what you said a spoiler

Ahh good idea brain. I knew I kept you around for some reason.

Are you sure it is not because I am vital for sustainable life?

Na, I don't need a brain to think good.

It is moments like this that people wonder why I take vacations and wonder off. What I want to know is without me around during those times: How do you function?!

Surprisingly well actually.
