The Raven With Razor Wings
Chapter 10: Act 9: Experimentation And Master And Weapon Reunite
Previous Chapter Next ChapterMystogan walked the streets the next afternoon after leaving Rarity's for the day. As usual she wouldn't let him leave without a good snuggle session and making sure his belly was well filled. Not that he complained in the least! As he made his way to the large castle in the middle of the town. It's residents stopped and waved at him with big smiles. He just waves back to them. Feeling a bit more at ease now that they didn't look at him like he was some kind of hideous creature or freak. He made it to the castle's front door, noticing their wasn't very many guard about. As he pushed it open, he was suddenly greeted by the tackling lavender alicorn, he hit the floor along with her. She straddles over him and looks down at him with a big, excited smile.
"Oooh good, you are finally here! Come Raven, we have no time to lose!"
Before he could even respond, he is picked up in the air by her magic and carried off to a room below the castle, having crossed his armss as he floated their, that same unamused look he has been making at Twilight for every crazy moment they shared. Shaking his head.
"Hello to you princess."
"Hey, we are friends now Raven. You don't have to call me princess. Just Twilight is fine!"
"Very well Twilight. Could you do me a favor though?"
"Hmm?"
"Could you maybe,oh I don't know. Put me down so I can walk?"
"Oh...sorry!"
She said as she sat him down back on his feet. He dusts himself off and follows her as she starts walking again. For a princess, Mystogan did notice she dressed rather...suggestively. The short skirt, the tight shirts and the very sexy black stocking she wore. Maybe that's just how she normally wore her clothes and didn't think much of it? Ah well, no use in complaining about the view. They walked down a flight of stairs, Twilight went up to a door and opened it with her magic. Revealing a large room covered in runes from wall to wall, and a large table with all kinds of scientific instruments and a largee metal slab with a massive light over it. She closes the door behind them and pulls him along the arm, having him sit on the metal slab and instantly has medical devices in her hand, a stethoscope and asmall metal stick.
"Alright Raven, say "Aaaaah." for me?"
"Twilight..is this really necessary?"
"Well..not really, but I want to learn all I can about you! You are a new species here in our world, and a sentient one to boot. Not to mention you may be the only one of your kind here. And I get to be the first to study you! It's all rather exciting when you think about it!"
"Yeah, for you anyways."
He said with a sigh.
"Aaaaaaah"
She leaned in and examined his mouth and teeth, noticing his were rather sharp, nodding and writing something down on a notepad that was beside them.
"So you are an omnivore then?"
Mystogan nodded.
"Don't worry..I don't think you will have to worry about me eating pony meat..too gamey."
"Twilight gasped and back away a bit.
"Y-you have had pony meat before..?"
Everything went silent for a moment. Then a wicked smile came across Mystogan's face.
"Oh yes, back in my world, equine meat was a delicacy...the rich people ate it all the time.."
Twilight began to back away more, until she saw Mystogan holding back a laugh. She arched her brow at this. Then he busted out in laughter.
"I can't believe you fell for that!"
She huffed at him with an unamused glare, her cheeks puff up in annoyance
"That wasn't funny Raven! I was genuinely afraid!"
"And how do you think I felt when you wanted to experiment on me without my consent?"
She was about to protest, but lowers her head and closes her eyes. She then felt Mystogan's hand on her head, petting ehr gently.
"Now we are even Twilight. Don't worry, I promise I have never had equine meat ever, and I don't plan to."
Even though he had played a mean joke on her, she was happy he reassured her that he did not hunger for pony meat, and go damn his hands, they seemed to always find the right spot on a pony's head to pet them. As she was pushing into his hand. She finally remembers she was studying him and comes back to reality.
"Alright then, strip!"
Mystogan arches a brow.
"Excuse me?"
"You know, get naked!"
"If you wanna see me naked, you better hand over chocolates and take me to dinner first..."
"Oh c'mon Raven. I know Rarity has seen you naked. She takes about it all the time!"
"Well, she is a different story. I feel I can be comfortable around her when I am in the bath and when we cuddle."
She suddenly comes up to him and gives him the biggest adorable puppy eyes ever. Pressing her body up against his.
Please, Raven?"
Mystogan rolls his eyes and lets out a long sigh.
"You better not get fresh with me. Got it?"
"Got it!"
She said excitedly. Mystogan eyes her before he began to strip all of his clothing off his body, including his underwear, standing there with his nude form for the princess to see. She gasped loudly as she quickly moved in, a look of shock on her face and switching to concern as she looked to him.
"Raven...Rarity told me about the scars you had...but I never knew...sweet Celestia.."
"Yeah..thanks to a certain zebra shaman, I was saved before bleeding out from these that are all the way across my torso, the scars on my arms, legs, neck and spine....well that's from the experiments they did to make me a god eater. It...wasn't fun."
She carefully and cautiously ran her hands along his form, feeling the scarred tissue and feeling the difference with his regular skin. He knew she wasn't trying anything. He was just treating it like it was a medical examination. She looks up to him.
"So I notice you are a little on the thin side Raven, but your muscles are rather...unusually firm, even though they don't look like you have been working them out. Is this part of the..'oracle cells' that are in your body?"
He nodded.
"Yes, they augment the body greatly, but that doesn't mean it makes me invincible. As you can plainly see from my latest injuries. But god eaters are incredibly resilient. Think of it as...an extremely thick skin that we can move freely in, power in a smaller form, The basic traits of an aragami. That also includes our strength and speed."
She nods and writes down all the info he is telling her. She then blushes slightly as she looks between his legs, but shakes it away as she examines his bits.
"So your genitals are outside of your body mostly? Only asking because male anatomy here is actually partly retracted into the body. And while you are not as lengthy as males here...your girth is...rather impressive, and your fertility is rather...well noticed."
She clears her throat and moves on, kneeling down to examine his legs and feet.
"Legs are muscular, and feet are flat on the bottom. No claws on them or your hands.I also notice you have no fur on your body except for your hair and eye brows and a slight bit above your genitals. Are all of your kind like this, Raven?"
"No,so of us have more hair than others on our bodies. and our skin tones are different colors, like you have different colored fur."
She nodded again and wrote down on her notepad again.
"Alright, you can get dressed, just leave your shirt off for me a little bit longer, I am going to extract a sample of your blood for the oracle cells."
He nods and does so quickly, she looks to him with a slight blush.
"And off the record...you have a very fine body, especially for someone your age."
Mystogan turns away before she could see his own blush.
"Thanks.."
He slides his shoes and pants back on, buckling his belt back and sitting back on the slab. Twilight walks over with a small tube connected to a needle, Mystogan raises his hand up to her.
"You are going to need something a bit more sharper than that tiny thing, Twilight."
She nodded and got a needle that was a bit larger.
"That will work."
She nodded again and walked over to him, spotting one of his veins along his arm and begins to extract a bit of blood from it. Once she had enough, she wraps a bit of bandage around it. SHe smiles and places the sample in some kind of container.
"Now then..let us see what exactly dwell within your body that makes you the way you are.."
--Canterlot Castle, Main Courtyard--
Both Celestia and Luna were out for a bit of a break from the noisy, whiny nobles that complained about everything that didn't go their way. They were on their way to the western courtyard when they suddenly heard something falling from the sky at high speed, apparently loud enough to break the sound barrier and make it sound like an explosion
"Tia...what is that thing?"
"I don't know, but from the way its falling, it looks like it is headed for where we are headed!"
And so it was, the flipping metallic object did indeed land in the western courtyard, leaving behind a bright light as it landed and a small crater. Some guards running to the commotion, others staying by the princesses' side.
"We must go see dear sister!"
"I agree Lulu, let us go!"
They said as they opened their wings and took flight. As they neared the object, both of them got a shaky feeling in their bodies. The same one as they did when they learned of Mystogan and what he was. Luna was the first to get close enough. As the dust cleared, she saw what the object was, her eyes growing wide and stepping back. She knew EXACTLY what it was, for she has seen it in his dreams
"Tia...get Raven...now.."
"Shall I have a letter sent sister?"
"NO...he needs to be here NOW."
Before Celestia could stop her sister for an explanation, Luna suddenly vanishes in a teleportation spell. Mystogan was busy getting his shirt on, and just in time to. He looks over and sees Luna jumping out of the light she came in with, rushing over to Mystogan and grabbing his hands.
"Raven, you need to come to the castle, now! No time to explain!"
Before he could say anything, he was teleported, leaving Twilight with a shocked expression, she blinked a few times, but then went back to her work. As they appear in the courtyard,Mystogan looks to Luna.
"What was that for?!"
Luna only lifted her hand and pointed at the large metal object that had it's blade embedded in the ground. When Mystogan turn his head and looked, his eyes went wider than ever. He got to his feet and slowly began to approach the object that was surrounded by the guard, one of them reaching up to try and grab the handle.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!"
He yelled out in slight anger, running over and pushing the guard away from his weapon. That's right, it was his scythe, the part of him who he had lost that day.
"Hey kid, stay away from that thing! Guards, grab him!"
"No, leave him alone!"
Luna ordered, Celestia walking up beside her sister as she watched on. Mystogan ran his fingers along the metallic surface of the weapon, his eyes still wide and a smile across his face. tears nearly flowing down his cheeks as he was reunited with a childhood friend who became an aragami...and in turn became his weapon.
"S-Soururīpā. I don't-. How are you here?"
He grips the weapon tightly, nodding as a voice only he can hear whispers to him.
"I see...you came in the same way I did. How about my unit. Did they get away safe?"
It went quiet again.
"Oh good...I am happy none of them died on my command. And I am even more grateful that you have returned to me."
"It went quiet again, this time a little more longer.
"What do you mean you have gone through a change when you came here? Do I need to get repair you? Wait what do you-?"
The wind suddenly kicked up and his scythe began to glow a dark blue, the metallic object literally becoming liquid metal and wrapping lovingly around Mystogan's body. Vanishing into his skin and being consumed by the cells inside his body. he falls to his knees in pain and grabs at his chest. He couldn't hear the cries of both Celestia and Luna who were now running toward him, only the sound of his heart beating heavily. he slowly stood up, lifting his hand to his side and suddenly, his weapon manifests itself out of thin air and into his hand once again.
"I see...this will make things easier on both of us then...thank you, Soururīpā. It is good to have you home.."
Next Chapter: Act 10: Soururīpā Tastes Flesh And Blood Once More Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 44 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
And another. So I had this idea of where Soururīpā becomes like a symbiotic weapon. they are both aragami. So why not make it easier on both of them and add some magic in the mix? Soururīpā will become the awesome dark blue tattoos that cover Mystogan, and when he is ready to draw her, she forms fully in his hand. I think it's a pretty neat idea.
Like and share.
May the darkness grant you peace.
