Author's Notes:

Here's what I promised.

After his performance with Shining Armor, Celestia wished to see Andromalius personally. He was called to the throne room.

Two guards flanked him and escorted him there.

"Is it really necessary?" Andromalius asked. He could feel the fear from the two guards, though. They were almost two times smaller than him, and both held spears that could only be used by Andromalius as toothpicks.

"Princess's orders." one of them replied.

Andromalius sighed, knowing that he will find out nothing if he's going to question them further.

Soon, the three reached the throne room. The two guards by the door opened it and let them in.

Andromalius entered the throne room. Celestia and Luna were there, sitting on their thrones. Captain Shining Armor stood by Celestia's side, still a little electrified. Occasional small lightnings appeared here and there, making him wince.

"Andromalius," Celestia spoke. "You have used magic that even I know nothing about. What were those spells that you used in your battle against my captain?"

"I've known those spells for quite some time. From five to seven years, I think." Andromalius replied. Celestia's eyes widened in shock, but he didn't let her speak further. "But until recently, I didn't have a chance to use them. They were considered fictional, impossible to use at all."

"How did you learn them?" Celestia asked, her voice was that of steel.

"Applying logic, of course." the hell stallion replied. "That is how I figured out that they can be used here."

"This magic has no place here, in Equestria." Celestia said. "It is too dangerous for everypony. I'm afraid I'll have to restrain your magic from now on."

"Excuse me?" Andromalius replied, confused. Suddenly, Celestia's horn glowed and a magic restrictor ring slid on the hell stallion's horn.

He felt like a part of him suddenly vanishing without a trace. A gentle buzz of magic that he didn't notice earlier disappeared. He felt like another mind was disconnected from him, and a nasty feeling of emptiness replaced the calmness. And a nasty headache came, seemingly breaking his skull in half.

Andromalius blinked, trying to understand what happened. Then, he noticed a ring on his horn.

"Sister, I don't think it's necessary." Luna stated, shifting nervously in place. She noticed a small eye twitch that Andromalius made. His mouth closed and opened, his mind was in a state of panic.

"Magic that dangerous shouldn't be allowed." Celestia replied, shaking her head. Another eye twitch happened. "It is far beyond the most powerful offensive spells."

"Now, listen to me..." Andromalius growled, stepping closer. He tried with all his might to remain calm. "You have no right to decide what I can use."

"I'm afraid I can."

"It is my magic, and I will FUCKING not—" the hellfire raised in him, melting the ring in mere seconds. "—allow anyone to take it away!" he shouted, his fiery mane came, blue flames emerged from his body.

"Guards!" Celestia ordered, panicking. The Fear Aura of Andromalius activated, burning away all the bravery that she had.

The five guards that were in the room rushed to Andromalius, albeit without haste, but he was much smarter than them. He used a magical gust of wind to knock them off their hooves, and then casted Blade Barrier multiple times, surrounding himself completely, cutting off the reinforcements.

Unbeknownst to the princesses, he casted a Confusion spell on the guards.

"Now, you will listen to me, you bitch!" Andromalius yelled, getting closer. The nice feeling of being filled with magical energy returned, his panic subsided, but his anger only grew and grew. He cast Magic Immunity on himself, just in case Celestia tries anything else. "Do you honestly think that I will try to hurt your subjects? Do you think that I will try to take your and your sister's throne? You are fucking retarded if you do, Celestia!"

She just stared at him with fear in her eyes. Luna closed her eyes and prayed that everything ends alright. She knew she couldn't do anything. If she helped Andromalius, the two sisters would be split apart again. If she helped Celestia, all the trust that Andromalius has in her would vanish instantly.

"Magic that I know is mine." Andromalius continued. "It is only my right to use it as I see fit. And I will not try to take over. I will not enslave ponies. I will fucking not try to do anything bad to Equestria, damnit! It is my home now, and who the fuck would like to ruin their homes? Who? No one! I could, of course, use my magic to kill you. I could use my magic to enslave ponies. And I still can, but I won't. Unlike you, I can reason.

"And you say that my magic is dangerous. Because it's fucking battle magic! It is supposed to be fucking dangerous!

"And even the simplest levitation can be used for evil. It can be used to tear anyone apart! It can be used to lift a heavy load, and then drop it on someone! If you're so fucking smart, then you should ban all magic! What can you say now, Celestia?

"Oh, and I know Light, Dark, Chaos, and Summoning magic. Every magic, including the Light one, can inflict direct damage, can kill.

"I knew all those for a very long time. While Luna dealt with her heat, I could simply kill everypony in the castle and take the throne. But I'm not some crazy assfuck, I can reason and use myself for good. I can reason, and you can't. I've heard that you are a kind and understanding ruler, but I see something completely different. Or maybe it is because of what I am? You would forgive your student Twilight Sparkle for destroying half a town if she didn't accidentally kill anypony, but you wouldn't forgive me for using my knowledge of combat to, well, fucking fight! I didn't think I would say that, but you are too stupid for a thousand-years-old ruler.

"I suppose I'm not welcome at this castle any longer. I leave." Andromalius put out his flames, removed the blade barriers, and started walking towards the exit. "Luna, beat some reason into your sister for me. I'm sorry for leaving you, my friend. It was a pleasant time."

With that, he exited. The guards didn't react to him, standing still in the room's center.

After the doors closed, Luna turned to her sister,

"And at this moment thou must know; thou fuckedst up."

Andromalius exited the castle walls, cloak on him with hood on. He knew that there is a train station somewhere, and he wanted to get out of the city before Celestia does anything stupid.

The train ticket costs fifteen bits, and Andromalius had three hundred sixty three. He was thankful for the fact that Luna pays dayly, not in the month's end.

He was sad about the fact that he has to leave Luna, his only friend in Equestria. He knew it would be hard for her, but Andromalius found out her address, and will send her letters if he manages to settle somewhere first.

Successfully getting to the train station, he bought a ticket to Ponyville.

The train ride wasn't eventful, and soon Andromalius reached his destination. He knew that the six bearers of the Elements of Harmony live in Ponyville, but he knew that their Elements can do nothing to him. He knew more magic than any of them, too, so he was sure he was in no danger.

Exiting the train, he saw that there were almost no ponies in the streets. Most of them were hiding, and they were bad at it.

"I guess news about a giant equine with a crooked sharp horn on his muzzle fly fast." Andromalius thought, chuckling. "That doesn't make anything worse, though. The stares are much worse."

"Well, all you have to do is to buy a house here. I don't think it costs much." Inanna suggested. Silently agreeing with her suggestion, Andromalius started searching for a mayor's residence.

And it was easy to spot. It stood right in the center of the village, and was much higher than other buildings.

Entering the building, Andromalius was greeted by a secretary mare.

"Hello! What can I... help you... with?" fear showed in her eyes. She nervously shifted in place, trying to keep a smile on her face. She was obviously intimidated by the presence of such a big and scary-looking stallion.

"Good day." Andromalius nodded. "I was wondering if I can buy a house in this village."

"Well, uh..." the secretary muttered, then cleared her throat, and regained her professional attitude. She knew that if she would be able to sell. "We've got a few houses. It's three of them: one with only one floor, two with an additional second. All of them have basements."

"How much?"

"Sixty bits for one-storey, one hundred for two-storey."

Andromalius, on one hand, wanted just a simple house, but two-storey would be convenient if more people would live with him. Just in case, he decided to buy a two-storey house.

After the payment, he was asked to fill the papers with his personal data. It included his name, date of birth, and gender. The papers Andromalius filled will give him an ownership over the house.

After finishing all the business, Andromalius went to his new house.

"I wonder what can this village give me."
