The Dark Entity (Being Re-written)
Chapter 9: Love.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"SQWAAAAAAAAAA!"
Remorel stirred.
"SQWAAAAAAAAAA!"
Remorel growled.
"SQWAAAAAAA-"
Remorel threw a magic projectile at the dam bird.
The bird was hit on the head, and took the hint to leave the window.
Remorel turned on his back, staring at the ceiling as he woke.
He looked at his armor, all scratched and worn from the previous day, even having scorch marks despite the armor being black.
"Dammit..." Remorel outwardly swore.
He should ask Celestia and Luna if he could repair his armor somewhere, he was pretty certain there was considering they have a guard.
His sword was gone again, probably with the princess's.
He might as well get up, he needs to meet Canterlot and its residence anyway.
Remorel stretched his arms and legs, feeling the soreness from yesterday's...event.
'Oh yeah, I needed to ask Celestia about that. Why she lied...'
He got up and moved to the door, opening it a small amount, checking if anybody else was around before he left.
After an all clear, he left his room. Closing the door behind him.
Remorel picked up the princesses magical trace, they know he's awake now.
He followed the princesses magical residue, getting stronger as he approached the dining room.
Once he was at the door he could smell a mixture of pancakes and bacon on the other side.
'Bacon? Oh that's right, they know I'm an omnivore. Wait, where did they get the bacon?'
He pushed the thoughts aside as he entered the room.
The delegates from the other nations were also here, eating the food the princess's servants provided.
The all stopped talking and looked up at Remorel, who in turn looked back.
An awkward silence filled the room.
"Good morning Remorel!" Luna said, breaking the silence.
"Our chefs made you your own plate, please take a seat and enjoy." Luna pointed a hoof between what looks like a small blue dragon with gold armor and a Griffon with black coloration in its feathers.
He sat between them. Overpassing there height.
"Remorel, I would like you to meet the leader of the dragon clan, Princess Ember, and the Commander of the Griffon Kingdom, Iron Sparks." Celestia motioned to them with a hoof.
"I believe we have already meet, Remorel~." Iron Sparks said in a voice...that sounded a little too seductive.
The dragon Princess, Ember was it? Just looked at them and snorted.
"Aw come on Ember, introduce yourself and shake his hand." Iron Sparks urged.
"I will not shake hands with my enemy..." Ember spoke.
"What?" Remorel said a little surprised by her response, but he knew enough already about the dragons to not be TOO surprised.
"You beat my best, and you even convinced one of them to surrender, you made them disgrace the name of 'Dragon'." Ember spoke harshly.
Remorel thought for a moment, then looked at Ember directly.
"I did beat your best, but think of it this way. I was able to beat your best, wouldn't you want an ally who is able to defeat the best of the ponies, the best of the griffons, and the best of the dragons?"
Ember looked down at her plate, deep in thought.
"I guess I never considered that part..." Ember spoke softly.
Remorel inwardly smiled. "Then don't think of me as an enemy, think of me as an ally."
Remorel put out a hand, waiting for Ember to make a decision.
"Very well, on this day I make allies with the Bone Warrior." She smiled as she took Remorels hand and shook it.
'Oh god that name is going to stick isn't it?' Remorel thought.
"Now that everypony is here, I would like to continue this meeting." Celestia spoke as she took a bit from her blueberry pancake.
Luna spoke up. "There have been some heavy magical frequencies occurring all over Equis. And each pulse seems to get stronger by the day."
"These pulses seem to happen every Friday at 3:30pm. Without missing a beat. The amount of pulses is similar to an earthquake, but the force is very weak, like as if it's dying once it reaches a certain speed." Celestia said with a worrying look.
"The force wasn't noticeable until Remorel appeared here in Equestria. And that was over a week ago, and the last recorded pulse was yesterday on Friday, 3:30pm Measuring at about 2,000 MPPS." (Magic Pulses Per Second.) Luna spoke.
"That is the strongest natural magic pulse to date. The previous magic pulse record was only about 1,450 MPPS, and never reached over." Luna finished.
Celestia looked at Remorel. "Would you happen to know what these pulses are?"
Remorel put a hand on his chin. "Something similar like this happened in my realm, my highest recording of it was about 4,560 MPPS. But that was after the Third World War."
All silence returned.
"World war? What do you mean?" Iron Sparks asked.
Remorel realized his mistake. And was quick to correct it. "It doesn't matter right now, ill teach you all history later. But again, that was my highest recording."
Celestia seemed hesitant, but continued with the previous subject.
"Your realm measured 4,560 MPPS, and still managed to live?"
"Yeah, the pulses themselves only happened in one area, but again, that's another story." Remorel stated.
Luna put down her fork as she finished her plate.
"We will need to do some more research in this phenomena. So we can prevent world destruction." Luna stated.
"I agree Lulu, I think this meeting is concluded." Celestia said as she got up.
'Well that wasn't long.' Remorel thought.
The other delegates left to wander the halls of the castle or left entirely. That left only Luna, Celestia, and Remorel alone In the room.
Remorel decided to ask Celestia the question that has him bugged.
"Celestia, may I ask why you lied to me about only the pony staff and guards attending the arena?"
"Because I knew you would say no to the question if it popped up. I only did it to get you used to the public eye is all, I'm sorry for lying though, I never really had a choice since I wasn't the one who contacted the delegates..." Celestia eyed Luna for a bit, who blushed heavily.
"I guess I can accept your apology, things happen. And two more questions."
"Go on." Celestia said.
"Where is my sword?" Remorel asked.
"Its locked up for now, I'm still not entirely certain you should be trusted, but give it time, you will be armed again. Now your second question?" Celestia asked.
'I guess I can understand, I did show off my blood magic, probably wasn't a very wise choice.' Remorel scolded himself.
"My last question is do you know where I can repair my armor? I like to keep it in pristine condition."
Celestia was about to answer, but Luna interjected.
"I can show you where we repair our armor! Its the finest forge in all of Equestria! I made sure of it myself." Luna said with some gleam in her eye.
Celestia chuckled. "If you want Luna you can show him there."
"Really? Thank you Tia! Come on Remorel, let's go fix your armor." Luna said as she dragged him along.
Celestia smiled as she looked at the cart of pastries.
'I really shouldn't, but one isn't going to hurt. Right?'
-----Canterlot Castle Forge-----
The smell was great, to have a great forge it has to have a smell. And the smell of molten metal gave a good sign of a loved forge.
Remorel followed Luna through the forge, very big considering the amount of guards that actually need a forge this big.
The pair stopped at an empty room, filled with tools needed to make, clean, polish armor and weapons.
They both walked in and closed the door behind them.
"Wow, one room for everything huh? That's impressive." Remorel commented.
"What, didn't you have a forge like this?" Luna asked.
"No, it wasn't nearly as big or organized. It was made for mass production, not quality. That's why I made my own armor." Remorel said as he pointed at himself.
Luna thought inwardly. 'Wait...he needs to take off the armor to clean and fix it, ill be the first to see him bare! Oooo, such a privilege!' She blushed lightly as she thought.
"Whelp I guess it's time to get to work." Remorel said as he stood up.
Luna heard some clicks, then his front chest plate fall to the ground.
Remorel picked it up and set it on the table as he removed each piece of armor one by one.
Luna was shocked to see him in his...full exposed form.
He wasn't completely bone, his head, right arm, and both legs were bone. His body and waist and left arm were made up of what looks like solid magic.
He was facing away from her as he casted a spell that made his lower body turn black.
"What was that?" Luna asked.
"Hm? Oh yeah, you know nothing of the body's species I'm using. You see, the species which this body is formed is called human. And the reason I have my lower body masked is because of the exposed genitalia humans have. I can't really change that at all."
Luna blushed heavily.
"O-oh. I...that's good to know." Luna struggled to speak.
She decided to examine him more, his face was probably a human skull, his eyes were still white and glowing. His torso was what caught her attention though.
She stared at it longer than she should, and Remorel brought her back to reality.
"Hey, are you ok?" He asked.
Luna blushed as she asked the question.
"What is your chest made out of?" She asked hesitantly.
Remorel stared for a second, then answered.
"Its hardened magic, and some metal. That's pretty much it."
Luna continued to stare.
"C-can I.....touch you?" Luna asked hesitantly.
Remorel halted, the question surprised him more than the first time he learned how to use magic.
"I...um....sure....hold out your hoof."
Luna did as she was told. Sticking her hoof out for Remorel.
Remorel took it and slowly placed it on his upper chest.
Luna felt the cold surface of his chest, his breathing, his beating heart...
"You have a heart?" Luna asked.
Remorel seemed disappointed at her question. "I'm immortal, not heartless. I took the form of a human you see, so body parts are converted over."
"I'm sorry....it was a stupid question." Luna hung her head low.
Remorel put a hand on her chin and lifted up.
"No, your ok. You didn't know. Don't bust yourself up." Remorel brought her into a hug.
She was slightly startled, but let herself fall in the embrace.
She felt something other than cold, it was faint, but was there. A slight warmth near his beating heart.
Next Chapter: Shaded No More. Estimated time remaining: 46 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
To better understand MPPS, since it will be applied in some future chapters, think of it as radiation waves. Some magic in the show shows how the magic is casted as a beam, or in waves. MPPS is magic in waves, whenever something massively magical happens (Ex: Remorel the God of Death entering a world with weaker magic than him.) It shoots waves. The planet (Equis) has its own magical pulse, that explains the exact schedule. It stores up and releases on the same date every week. To make it into a beam, it needs to be concentrated, but the beam still has waves in it, just aimed and more generalized than pulses.
You can see the burst then the wave as Celestia uses magic.
It's dangerous to have MPPS reach over 5,000 in a magic rich planet, if overstimulated, the planet could potentially die from to powerful magic pulses.
(I like applying logic to magic, it makes it not hurt my head more XD)
