Twilight’s Castle (Dark Obsidian’s P.O.V.)

Half an hour after Minuette fainted from seeing me eat gems, Twilight took her into another bedroom to let her rest comfortably. After closing the door, Twilight wasted no time in probing me for the information she wanted to know. We decided to take this to her study room and I would tell her how I was able to eat crystals. “So how can you digest gems?” Twilight asked with her parchment and quill already in her telekinetic grasp.

I saw that it was getting late and told her that I would tell her everything tomorrow. She understood and wished me good night. After getting into my bed, my mind was in a state of despair of what has been happening.

“Father, I wish you were here with me right now, we would have this mare screaming for the Royal Wretches and we could be ruling Equestria, but instead I must allow this naive princess to assist me!” I mentally pleaded hoping my Father’s spirit would hear my plea for help.

After waking up from an incredible dream last night I saw Twilight. “Good morning Obsidian, I’m excited for this new knowledge, follow me to my study room and let’s get started.” She motioned me to follow her and I complied.

After a few seconds of walking through the halls, we arrived at her study filled with books. We sat down and I began.

“Well my parents told me to think of the gems as a material that could be broken by my teeth, like some types of bones, but harder, I don’t really remember all of the ins and outs of it, my parents could probably teach you better than I could, but you’re stuck with me.” I said with a slight smile. Twilight finished writing down what I had told her.

“This is incredible, I can’t wait to tell this to Minuette when she comes to, I mean it’s not every day you see a pony just eat gems like they’re apples or something.” Twilight said with a smile. “I think I want to give this spell a shot!” she said with determination. “Now let’s see think of something hard in between my teeth, and imagine that my teeth are stronger than that.” Twilight said as she powered up her magic. I was amazed at how fast Twilight was able to grasp the concept I just told her, it took me years to even take a small bit of a sapphire when I was growing up with Father.

(Meanwhile, North of Crystal Empire, King Sombra’s POV)

It had taken years, but I have finally gained enough strength to retain my physical form from my subconscious that I placed myself into before being defeated by the Crystal Heart and Princess Cadence. After assembling my armor, cape, and crown and wearing it once more, I immediately thought about Dark Obsidian, my Heir to the throne and I can sense he was somewhere far away from the Empire.

“I need to alert my son that I have returned.” I thought to myself as I had to wait since my magic was drained and needed to regenerate.

I walked around a little to find a cave I can use to seek shelter until I can gain enough strength and magic. After some time passed to the point where the night was about to begin. I felt my dark magic returning, I began to test it and it wasn’t at it’s full power but enough to at least send Obsidian a message that I have returned. I focused my magic and I felt myself traveling to some little town with a crystal tree castle.

I felt myself inside a void and there, in the distance was my heir that I have not see in 1,018 years after I froze him in crystal before my 1,000 year banishment.

“At last we meet once more, Dark Obsidian.” I spoke as my voice echoed throughout the void. He turned around surprised to see me. “Before you ask, I’m using my magic to let me into your dream without alerting Luna of my presence.”

“Father, I thought you died?! How is this possible?” He asked with desperation.

“I embodied my subconscious into my horn until I was able to regenerate to my physical form.” I explained. “Now what are you doing in a petty little town and not in Canterlot bringing down the Princesses in their worst nightmare?” I asked.

“Minor setbacks Father, but I did find a fourth Princess and she has been feeding me intel to make the end of their reign all the more tragic when they succumb to their own nightmare.” Obsidian responded looking quite irritated.

“Obsidian I’ll be on my way to Canterlot to assist you in the fight against those two petty alicorns, afterwards we can reign supreme over the Crystal Empire and later Equestria.” I responded as he seemed to have a little more faith in his eyes.

Suddenly the void began to disappear meaning Obsidian’s is leaving the dream realm. “I’ll see you again Father.” was the last thing I heard him say as I found myself back inside my cave in the North. I began to practice my magic to grow as strong as I once did when I overthrew the Empire’s last ruler and soon revenge will be imminent.

Twilight’s Castle (Minuette’s P.O.V.)

I awoke the next morning in a bedroom I didn’t recognize, but as I looked around the room I noticed that I was in Twilight’s castle, or to be more specific, one of the guest rooms. “She must put me in here after I fainted after I saw Dark Obsidian eating a GEM right front of me.” I felt my brain hurt after just saying that. I looked outside to see the sun setting and the moon rising over the horizon.

“How long have I been out?” I asked myself as I headed out of the bedroom to hear some conversation from down the hall. After a few seconds of careful listening, I found out that it was just Twilight and Dark Obsidian. “I wonder what they’re talking about?” I asked myself as I quietly made my way towards Twilight’s study.

As I got closer to the study, I could hear Obsidian talking about how he could digest gems without chipping a tooth! “This is amazing, I’m witnessing history, but making history is so much better than witnessing it.” I thought to myself as I slowly peaked inside, and saw Twilight concentrating her magic towards her teeth. “She’s strengthening her teeth so she eat gems! I really need to learn this spell too, as well as write a proper medical thesis of this extraordinary dental phenomena!” I squealed mentally.

(Twilight’s P.O.V.)

After setting Minuette down in the bedroom after fainting, I trotted back to Obsidian to learn how he is able to digest crystals that other ponies can not. We sat down in my personal study room and I had a parchment and quill at the ready. “So how can you digest gems?” I had never been so excited than the time I became Celestia’s personal pupil as a filly. Bu Obsidian said that it was getting rather late and he would tell me everything in the morning. I understood he was probably tired and I agreed. I wished him good night and headed of to my bed.

The next morning came and the excitement I had never left me as I quickly got out of bed and saw Obsidian. “Good morning Obsidian, I’m excited for this new knowledge, follow me to my study room and let’s get started.” We went to my private study and took our seats as I got a parchment and quill at the ready as Obsidian explained.

“Well my parents told me to think of the gems as a material that could be broken by my teeth, like some types of bones, but harder, I don’t really remember all of the ins and outs of it, my parents could probably teach you better than I could, but you’re stuck with me.”

After listening to Obsidian’s story I was jotting down this information like notes to an important test. This really fascinated me and I was eager to learn this spell myself. “I think I want to give this spell a shot!” I said with determination in my voice. “Now let’s see think of something hard in between my teeth, and imagine that my teeth are stronger than that.”

I saw a blue Sapphire gem and levitated it over into my hooves as I activated the spell onto my teeth. It took some time to get it right, but I think I had finally done it after I felt a little tingling sensation ripple through my teeth. I took a bite out of the gem and like how Obsidian described it, It was just like eating any other food, it broke down easily and I was able to digest it.
