Happiness, the feeling that is showing us and others, what we like and don't like. The joy of accomplishment, the bliss of experiencing something unusual, or the delight of feeling or doing something pleasant. Happiness is thriving us to be part of something that is pushing us towards a good life that we can't see with our own eyes. Sadly, one does often only know how happy and or lucky he or she is when a specific piece of his or her life is gone that made the being complete.

Canterlot Castle. Mathael's POV

Luna's beautiful moon shone high above the few clouds that flew in the dark blue sky. Suddenly a big vortex appeared a few inches above the ground. Out of the vortex walked out a Thestral in a tuxedo and a top hat. The Pony looked authoritative, but his dominant pose was ended as he grasped his chest and his illusion stopped.

The Pony gritted his teeth in pain as the wound he received, although they weren't fatal, were painful. When the illusion failed, many scars, open flesh wounds, and marks that could be switched up with purple neon tattoos could be seen. The Pony removed his hand from his chest and hunched slightly forwards while making his way through the wall... Literally.

Once The Pony, also known as Mathael, entered the castles dark halls, he began to think a bit while slowly walking back to his room.'Maybe I shouldn't have been so cocky with that bug girl, but at least the Ponies believe in something even if it's me. Damn, just how painful are the attacks from that damn arachnid? At least the wounds are not lethal or dangerous at all. Hmmm?'

Mathael stopped his walk through the Castle halls when he saw two signs on a wall. One the first one was written 'Guest room. Left' while on the second one was written 'Castle Baths. Right' Mathael thought for a few moments before smiling and walking right to the bath to finally get a bath and clean the wounds of his.

After a few seconds, he stood in front of a giant golden double gate on which right side was a sign on which was written 'Castle Baths. Please wear towels not to disturb guest of the opposite sex.'. Mathael raised an eyebrow when he read it, but then remembered that this was not America where any public sexual activity was treated worse than murder.

Mathael didn't care to think anymore as he was sure that no one would be awake at this time and enter the room. Once inside, Mathael was quite surprised. The Bath was made out of three rooms. Two changing rooms for both sex and one big room in which was a big bathing tub, or rather a jacuzzi in the size of his living room.

Mathael smiled and entered the male changing room, even though gender meant little to him consider he can decide what he wants to be. Once he was inside, he put off his tie and sighed loudly in pleasure as his muscles almost exploded out of his suit. Once he was half naked and only wore his boxer pants, he snapped his fingers and created a big black square that floated right in front of his crotch, hiding secrets from the readers. Once he was naked, he took a towel and wrapped it around his waist before dispelling the censoring box.

Mathael then exited the changing room and snapped his fingers to create a dozen different bottles and poured them into the water that somehow was hot as steam flew out of the liquid. Magic, the best way to explain is just saying 'It's magic.' When Mathael mixed the liquid, the water glowed in various colors as the contents of the bottle were mostly healing items and a few body hygiene products that, if bough usually, would dry out Canterlots treasury. He also emptied a container with a living creature into the water.

After the water stopped glowing, Mathael dipped his hoof into the water, and a shock of pleasure shot up his spine, making his fur rise. Mathael smiled before slowly submerging into the water and sighting in delight. Once Mathaels body was underwater up to his neck, he leaned his head back and smiled as he could already feel the help of a little friend.

Mathael was tired from these three, or was it four days? He didn't care and enjoyed every second as a slime was cleaning every pore and corner of his body carefully. Mathael smiled, but then he felt something tingle in his magic core? Mathael's eyes slowly opened as before he moved his upper body into a straight position.

Mathael then slowly moved his hand to his chest, and it phased through it before he pulled out a completely black orb that radiated pure power and would, without a doubt, destroy at least 8/50 of the multiverse if he would drop it. Mathael stared at his magic core before noticing that he felt another magic core in his chest.

Mathael did the same movements as before, but this time, he pulled out a much smaller purple magic core. Mathael remembered this feeling this orb gave off; it was Lysandra's power. Mathael was intrigued by this and was confused why she dropped this, but not the Dullahan when Mathael murdered him? Mathael decided to just ask him later.

Mathael then remembered what Asura did when he received his enemy's powers, and a small smile found its way on his face. Mathael tapped on the purple orb which separated its strength from its knowledge and let the power part sink into his magic core. It Mathaels magic core showed small marks of purple for a few moments before his magic core consumed and assimilated the new power.

Mathael then put Lysandra's knowledge into his pocket dimension so he could later study it and put his magic core back where it belonged. When the magical essence was back in its place, Mathaels muscles began to bulge extremely as new power flowed through his veins. Mathael's Muscles then started to calm themselves, but still looked a bit bigger than before. Mathael looked for answers in his body after this exciting experience and then found something shocking out. By consuming Lysandra's powers, Mathaels maximum base power rose by 5%, letting his full power grow up to 105% which was astounding,

Mathael smiled as new power meant that he could the girls save, his little Darkness. Mathael sighed before leaning back and almost wholly submerging his body, leaving only his muzzle above the water. Mathael enjoyed this moment of peace as his ears and eyes were more than capable of keeping the water out. Doing this under water was possible due to his ear tunnels shutting and having a special remembrance which original purpose was to allow demons to swim in liquid fire and water.

Mathael was happy as not only his wounds were slowly closing, but also as the slime was giving him an excellent back and limb massage. The only reason Mathaels muzzle was still out of the water was that the air smelled like lavender which soothed his mind even more.

Suddenly Mathael felt a vibration in the water, meaning that either something massive in coming from somewhere far away to bring doom and destruction to this world or someone just entered the bath which was the more likely option even though it was in the middle of the night. Mathael rose from to the water before leaning against the jacuzzi edge and eagerly awaited who came and disturbed his peace.

The two beings who disturbed walked around the corner and wore towels around their personal areas. There was a moment of confusion as all three Ponies looked at the other before Mathael said."Greetings Princesses, what do I owe the pleasure to meet you so late? Don't you have private baths or something like that?"

Princess Celestia was the first to respond and said."Good night, Mathael. To answer your question, yes we do have private baths, but Ponies would notice my sister and me entering either of them and this would lead to a lot of fuss for nothing like when I ate cake in public... again. What are you doing here so late, Mathael, and... oh Faust you are wounded!"

Mathael rolled his eyes and thought.'Always reminding me about Fausty, great.'

Mathael was about to say that it was nothing, but it was already too late as Luna decided to join the baths first by jumping in which caused the water to splash around everywhere. Mathael rubbed his eyes and was surprised to see Luna touching his chest on which was a big 'X' wound. Mathael was about to say something, but then his entire face lit up when he saw a towel float in the water behind Luna.

Mathael slowly looked down and saw that Luna was rather exposed without knowing it. Mathael said."Ehm. Luna? You seem to have... lost something." Princess Luna raised an eyebrow, but then she saw that Mathael was repeatedly looking down, indicating that she should look down too. At first, Luna didn't see anything until she realized that this was the problem, there was nothing.

Luna's face turned from blue to red before she submerged in the water to hide her embarrassment. Mathael stretched his arm out to grab the towel and gave it to Luna by pushing it underwater. Luna rose from the water shortly afterward with a Towel hiding her front.

Luna said in an embarrassed tone."We, I... are sorry about this 'incident.' This will stay between us three, right?"

Mathael chuckled and patted Luna on the head. Mathael said with a smile."You don't have to be embarrassed. I didn't see anything, just your outlines, and energy since I am currently blind."

...

"...What?"

Both Princess came close to Mathael and looked him deep in the eyes to see what he meant. There was nothing unordinary, but after a few moments, they saw that the glow in Mathaels irises was gone. Celestia was about to raise a finger, but Mathael answered a bit quicker.

Mathael explained."I am not permanently blind, or rather, stuck in this way of seeing. In this mode, I can see only the most important things like outlines, someone's power and anything that has been written on something. I did it because I was busy on another world and since I didn't want to die because of nosebleed, I just did this. I know you must wonder what about I am talking about, but I will answer everything tomorrow." Mathael's answer before regaining his old sight and hiding his blush with his virus. The answer calmed the Princesses, but there were still a few things that they wanted to talk about.

Luna walked through the water with slow steps until she stood next to Mathael and laid her head back. Suddenly she felt something slimy touch her hand. Luna looked into the water and saw a weird creature that almost looked like the Smooze, but smaller. Luna looked at Mathael who answered."It's a slime, no worry; he is just cleaning me, you don't have to fear that he consumes the world like the Smooze's predecessor did to Ponyland many years ago on another world."

Mathael thought.'I Am talking way too much valuable information out! If I continue like this, they are going to notice that I am far smarter and hold much more knowledge than I am supposed to.'

Luna blinked once, then a second time and lastly she blinked a third time. Luna said."It's sometimes terrifying how much you know, but also very interesting of what lurks beyond the stars."

Mathael chuckled and said while letting his hand go her soft silk like hair and motioning Celestia to come a little bit closer. When both of them were close to him, Mathael said."It almost feels like it was yesterday when I was just like you two, to wonder what is out there, to think how much there is, I am sometimes truly envious of you two and any other Pony. In truth, there is a lot more than any creature can see, no matter how old. I was able to see a few moments of the Multiverse. I saw the whole picture, many worlds and saw so much beauty in the creation and many creatures that rose to the point they gazed into the night sky and question what lies beyond, are they alone or just because they want to be a few millimeters close to the mysteries that hide from them..." Mathael took a small break as he gazed into the night sky through a window and smiled. "Since you are already here, is there any question you want to know from this old and vast library you call your friend and lover?" Mathael ended his sentence with a smile.

The Princess looked at Mathael with awe. They didn't expect for him to be so poetic, but what stood against him being more than just being a warrior. Mathael was in places no Pony would ever dare to go and saw so much more than both of them combined, and now they had the chance to get the answer to any question they desired.

Princess Celestia asked."It may sound a bit silly, and I don't know if you can answer this, but what is the meaning of life?"

Mathael chuckled which made the Princesses even more curious. Mathael answered."This is an interesting question considering I am not one who had not even nearly enough knowledge about life on his own to answer this, but I shall try." Mathael put two fingers on his chin and began to think for a few moments which caused the Princesses to slowly come close to him.

Mathael got an answer after about ten seconds. Mathael said with a smile."Why do you question this if you already got your answer? Living itself is already enough reason to live, to explore all that exists, to experience everything in life, the good and bad. We and all other creatures exist to chose our own path, our own legacy in the stars and become more than what nature foresaw us to become, any god and the divine creature could ever achieve. We live because we can, we survive because we fight, and we will live on, in memories, stories or just legends because of the long journey each and every one of us took. That is the reason for life, to reach all boundaries and rules that exist, to eventually surpass them in all possible ways."

The Princess mouths hand wide open. Their minds were blown away by Mathael's answer. There was the answer to one of the most asked questions, and Mathael answered it in less than thirty seconds. Princess Celestia quickly summoned a piece of paper and a pencil and began to write before the memory would fade, but the letter suddenly disappeared and reappeared with Mathael's words written on it.

Mathael said."I don't know why so many beings ask this question as it's so simple, but everyone can have a different viewpoint on my answer and a different answer to this question. Luna? It's your turn."

Princess Luna didn't take as long as her sister took as she was already getting most of her questions answered tomorrow, so she asked something that interested her already a while. Luna asked."Hmm. I do have one question. What is your Cutie Mark?"

Mathael flinched when he heard this and was slowly submerging into the water before slowly disappearing and only leaving behind a weird back square object. The Object suddenly began to vibrate and talk."Mathael is currently not available, please leave a message after the beeping tone... Beep!"

Princess Luna was not going to give up this easily and submerged into the water as well and was surprised to see an entire living room underwater with a law of nature-defying fireplace that burned underwater. Luna looked close and saw Mathael sitting in an armchair and reading a book called 'How to evade awkward questions.'

Princess Luna said something before realizing that she could not talk in water. To her surprise, a bubble exited her mouth an traveled towards Mathael. The bubble pooped beside Mathael imitated her voice and made everyone underwater her words. Mathael sighed underwater which created many small bubbled before pressing a little button on the armchairs left side which made the furniture float up until Mathael reached the surface and everything down there vanished.

Mathael grabbed the floating object that generally would implode when it came in contact with water and ate it like a pop tart. Mathael said."I don't really have a cutie mark. I had a placeholder one, and now I have one that just resembles that I hold a powerful artifact, but I don't have one on my own."

The Princess gave him a look that could be read and translated into 'Stop messing around and show it already.' Mathael sighed loudly before pulling the towel a bit upon his right flank and revealing his right thigh. Princess Luna smiled widely and grinned at her sister.

Luna said in a mocking tone."Huzah! I win Sister. I knew that I had an as much chance as Captain Darkness! It's even stamped on his flank! You owe me your dessert for a day."

Mathael's mouth hangs wide open and asked."I know the irony me asking this, but is there anything you do that I should know about?"

Celestia answered while looking away."Not much." Mathael hummed in disbelief but decided to just accept it.

Princess Luna and Celestia then both smiled slyly at Mathael and asked."So... Darkness told us about you trying out what's it like to be a Mare, and we were wondering how you would look? Maybe we even could do a girls day like the Ponies nowadays do."

Mathael thought while dread was running down his entire body.'Darkness... One day you will be the death of me, I just know it!!!'

Mathael sighed loudly in defeat and used his powers to change his gender, but since he was not interested in being as confused as last time, he used the power of the Horo Horo No Mi fruit. The Princesses gazed in awe as Mathaels body was slowly forming into the one of a Mare, a stunning, no gorgeous one as well that made them a bit jealous.

Mathael said in a voice that could make any male melt like butter."Happy? I am just curious about what some of my powers are capable off, and it's bizarre even though it's nice to not have so many muscles that you almost won't fit through doors." While Mathael was talking, he didn't even notice that The Princesses were pocking everywhere on his new body to see if it was real, or just because of fun.

Suddenly an evil idea pooped into Luna's mind as she pocked him on a special place on Mathaels now exposed chest. Luna pocked on Female Mathael's left teat to see how he would react and it was priceless. Mathaels coat turned red and he or rather she almost hit the ceiling as she jumped out of the water before landing back into the water and being caught by the slime.

Mathael glared at Luna before he showed the sisters a big toothy and nightmarish smile that revealed many rows of teeth. Mathael chuckled darkly before saying."Vengeance shall be mine!" before pouncing at Luna.

"Eep!"

*Splash*

5 minutes of tickle war later

Luna was still laughing from Mathaels attack, and her eyes were red from crying so many tears. Mathael, on the other hand, was satisfied with his work and pulled out a duck-Spenser (Duck dispenser) that would give out tissues and let it float towards Luna by giving the rubber toy a soft push.

Celestia was chuckling in the corner as she watched the entire thing happening in front of her eyes and it was like looking how siblings fight over nothing. Even though she usually should be angry for declaring war, also if it's about tickling, it was ok because Mathael didn't want to bring harm. The Picture of Luna begging someone stop tickling her reminded her a lot of older and more carefree days which made her own eyes water a second or two.

Mathael said with sly grin and a happy expression."It's quite funny. We are the three oldest creatures in this world, and we act like children, and I like it. It's been a while since I had this much fun. Maybe this is just because I am just used to being Testosterone, but this is more than just fine, maybe I try being a Mare after the world is saved."

Luna wished away a few tears before saying."As much as this was, I don't think you want to stay a Mare for all too long, Mathael. There a lot of Stallions who would think or do bad things to you- Ohhh right, you would bury them fifty feet underground. Still, I bet you wouldn't survive heat season. Wait, what do you mean by 'trying to be a Mare after the world is saved?'"

Mathaels ears picked up when he heard this and said."Would you mind telling me when the Heat season starts? I want to leave this world during these during that time. As for the other part, I can choose my form whenever and into whatever I please as long as I have the DNA to do so."

Princess Celestia walked behind Mathael through the water and put her hands on Mathael's shoulders. She said."And what about you being a ruler? You brought already so many countries together by saving them, and I am sure you would become a great king."

Mathael sighed and responded."Celly, Luna? What do you see when you look at me?" Saying this confused the Princesses and made Celestia blush that she received a nickname. Mathael continued."You maybe see a good Pony and your lover, but other creatures don't see that. They see a nightmare, no matter what I do or where I am. I can feel and hear what the beings around me think, and all of them fear me beside you, and the other girls and I can understand it. But I don't want them to not fear me because they know next to nothing about me except for Darkness, they deserve to hear my past in every detail."

Luna sighed and walked through the warm water and hugged Mathael who, to everyone's surprise, was not sad. Luna said with a smile while looking into his eyes."I know how you feel Mathael. The Ponies still fear us, me and who once was Nightmare Moon. It will take time, but I am sure that one day the will accept us as we are. Although, I do want to ask, why are you hiding your horn?"

Mathael said with a smile."As long as I don't show my horn or the Nobles see me as your lover, they will never choose me as their king, and I am free." The Princesses glared at Mathael for a few moments before both of them looked at the other with a smile. Mathael wanted to escape, but it was already too late as he was pounced at from two angles.

"Eep!"

*Splash*

*Splash*

5 minutes of tickle war revenge later.

The Princesses have been a worthy foe in the war of tickling, but he did not lose without taking Celestia with him. She was still giggling next to him like a Foal. Mathael himself was not better though as he laughed a few times very loud and hoped that the guards did not hear him.

Mathael said after calming himself down."Now in all seriousness, I think your nobles would not survive the heart attack of hearing I am their ruler, although I have been wondering. Why do you want me to rule? I mean, you did a good job in the last thousand plus years, so why me? I would understand if you wanted me to do the paperwork."

Celestia was not sure if just didn't saw himself worthy of the title of king, or just didn't want to, so she decided to work her way around. Celestia said with a smile."I think my little Ponies would feel safer if they would know that you were a branch of Equestria's defense, not another powerful creature that 'needs to be taken down for public safety.' Also, I think it would benefit everyone if you would be king as you would live in Canterlot."

Mathael gave Celestia a 'are you serious?' Look. Celestia knew that Mathael despised the Nobility, which was understandable. She, too, was more than once, or more than a hundred times, close to throwing a cake at a noble asking something outrageous. Celestia sighed and tried to rephrase herself.

Luna was there to save the day and said."But if you would live here, we could spend more time together instead of living so far away, and yes, I know it only takes you a second to come here, but what about Darkness? She works here and only comes to work around midnight because of a lack of time which is not very good for the guards who want to sleep. How does captain Darkness even manage to stay awake that long?"

Mathael thought with a calm mask, but with a troubled mind.'She's Been going out and work while I was sleeping? That can't be healthy, why didn't she just tell me? I can survive a day without being near her, maybe. Crap, they are waiting for an answer.'

Mathael cleared his throat and said."I did not know of her nightlife and was just a bit surprised. As for Darkness being able to live with so little sleep, I think that it's a bit of my fault. I gave her a lot of magic and cook gourmet food which gives someone with a normal stomach a huge energy boost even though I am reducing the calories in each meal enormously so she wouldn't have to worry about a diet, or dying of a heart attack after just one bite of one of my meals."

Celestia said in a surprising tone."Oh, that surprised me. I thought you knew a lot more about your surrounding, of course, I do not mean that in a bad way. it's just, you often seemed you knew something was going to happen before any signs revealed themselves."

Luna added."We were told that you made sure that Twilight and her friends became friends and thus the element bearers which was most intruding."

Mathael said calmly."I do not control Dankness, she's a free Mare and can do whatever she wants as I do not see her as my property. Also, no signs? That's wrong, there were many signs. The simplest one was Nightmare- Lunas return after her banishment which was the last point was the elements were still working as harmony was broken. Her return just started the race until the new bearer would be chosen and there were a few other candidates for this job, but since I do not want to intercept in what has to happen, I just chose them."

"Harmony broke?"

"You did what needed to happen?"

Mathael chuckled to hide his nervously at that moment."As far as I know, you, Celestia were the bearer of the elements of Magic, KIndness, and generosity while you, Luna, bore the elements of Honesty, Loyalty, and Laughter. When Luna was slowly becoming Nightmare Moon, you Celestia didn't saw the signs, you focused more on your subject than anything else. Your magic became weaker over the years of not practicing, and kindness and generosity were not given to the one that needed it most. Luna, when you became something else, you stopped laughing, wanted to betray Celestia and did it all behind everyone back. I hope I didn't sadden you."

The Princesses had no time to be sad as their stood shocked and flabbergasted in front of Mathael as his knowledge about things was a bit creepy. Mathael continued."As for what I meant with 'things happened the way they needed to happen.' There are timelines that each world follows, I can't read them, I can just sometimes tell the future, but that's it, and I know how dangerous it can be if something important is changed, or why do you think I didn't just turn back time and helped the tribes? Anyways, I could've have filled in their roles with being Equestria's guardian, but I need someone that will continue this timeline if something happens to me, and yes, I am not unbeatable, just very hard to keep dead." Mathael actually snickered a bit at the end as not only were his loved one's expression too good to be true but also because of how much it surprised them to hear that he was not as unbeatable than they might have thought.

Mathael signed as the Princesses already stood there for about 12 seconds without saying, so he decided to break the obsidian and did something nice for the Princesses. He decided to start to do something pleasant to Luna first and walked next to the Princess. Mathael used his magic fingers to scratches Luna behind her ears and fondle Celestia's back of her head. The two Princesses instantly melted by his touches. Mathael smiled at the sight of seeing his loved one enjoy this so much and the enormous amount of love they were giving off was... slightly worrying. It was almost like he was the first one to do this for them, or at least in a very long time.

Mathael then switched the position he was massaging which caused the bearers of the celestial's objects fur to rise. Mathael then proceded to rub their back and used his magic to create flying versions of his own hands that helped him with this task. Mathael then used various massage techniques on them in the next 10 minutes until the Princesses fell asleep.

After the Princesses were asleep, Mathael lifted the two sisters out of the water carefully before drying them and him with his magic, putting pajamas made out of costly silk on all three of them and teleporting each of them into their beds. Mathael then puts their blankets on them and gave both of them a goodnight kiss.

After the Princesses were back in their chambers, he cleaned the water from the potions and gave the slime a lovely home on Zergus, but made sure that it wouldn't be eaten - or wouldn't eat his zerg. Mathael then made his way back to his guest room.

Once he reached his room and giving about twelve Guards, who never faced an enemy, a heart attack - not literally- he entered the guest room where Darkness was sleeping and laid beside her in the bed. He looked at his love and wondered how things would continue after this? It didn't take a genius to know how dangerous things will become, would he be able to win or would he lose? With a quiet sigh, he entered the realm of sleep as well.

Later this night

A portal opened in front of Mathael as two creatures exited the interdimensional gateway. One of these creatures was very long, slender and had an exotic body structure while the other looked very metallic. What did these creatures have for sinister plans you ask? The worst of all! The secret snuggling of cuddling! As both beings laid beside Mathael, but not before expanding the bed a little with a bit of magic.

The Realm that even makes a bald head look dark.

Was surrounded by pure light and he knew exactly where he was. Mathael closed his eyes before sighing loudly and saying."What do you want, Faust?"

When Mathael opened his eyes again, Lauren stood in front of him with crossed arms and a small cocky smile on her face. Mathael looked to Faust and saw that the box in which the soul of darkness rested was next to her which explained the situation instantly.

Mathael pouted and said."Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did take that little artifact of yours, but only because I felt bad for you." Faust happiness didn't seem to change, maybe it even increased.

After about 5 minutes of staring at the other, Faust finally said something."Don't be so grumpy about it, dear Mathael. You are doing a good job, even though it's a riddle to me how you managed to get Erebus's scythe."

Mathael didn't really want to have a conversation with her, but in these times it was not right to keep a grudge against possible allies, and he couldn't be mad at her forever of course. Mathael said."Erebus gave it to me as she isn't dead, or at least wasn't completely."

The Faust's mood seemed to lighten up tremendously as her eyes had tiny stars in them. She said in a hopeful tone."Erebus is still alive?! How is he and would he mind to meet me again?"

"She"

Faust raised an eyebrow and asked."Pardon?"

Mathael replied."Erebus is not a 'He' it's a 'she': She is some kind of dragon Pony, maybe a kirin and has a bit of sex addiction as far as I could see. Oh, I wanted to ask this, is it possible that all 'gods' have some kind of nasty flaw or mental problem? Not that I would look at a certain emotionally unstable Mare of course that likes to try and murder everyone who doesn't agree with her. "

Lauren glared dagger into Mathael before sighing loudly and saying."We may be looked at as 'gods,' which counts you in too, but we are not perfect, even before most of us ascended. I am not very emotionally stable. Erebus is apparently sex addicted. Magi and Magni are workaholics. Zuriel is rather stern and looks down at weak and straightforward mortals. Fenrir has aggression problems. Lotan often doesn't take his duties all too serious. Zephyr would always try and reach perfection with his work. Gaia hates sentient life. Shinigami hates all life and you, my dear Mathael, are suffering from extreme depression and think you are as much wort as dirt most of the time. No one is perfect besides maybe the first creators, but I don't know if they even had a personality or a free mind that went beyond their duties."

Mathael smiled as the Pony goddess of purity said it out loud. Gods are not perfect and are just as bad at life as mortals are! Let's start a party and gift free alcohol... Mathael's happiness died when he remembered that alcohol did not work on him...

Mathael said."*Clearing throat* Although I did not ask for your opinion on me and the fact that you forgot to mention at least 74 of my mental problems, I see that we may have started off with the wrong... hoof. Let's try a new. Hello, I am Mathael, totally not mentally sick and Superpowered bad Alicorn OC that is a slave to your game of gods, and you are?" Mathael said the entire introduction with an enthusiastic tone and a big 'nice' smile.

Faust was smiling uncontrollably as her mask of 'purity' broke, and she started laughing and even snorted a few time which caused Mathael to laugh too. After a few moments, Faust returned to her previous state.

Faust said."Very well, I am Lauren Faust, Pony Goddess, and creature that has more golden statues and religions of myself than all Greek gods together have. I am also the last not heretic survivor of a group of OP beasts that can reck your base and so it is my duty as the empress to bring peace and order back to the land. You, on the other hand, are no slave, Mathael."

Mathaels jaw hit the ground when he realized that Faust either looked into a nerd guide or actually knew about Warhammer 40k. Mathael thought'Damn... and Pe-Ponies say that Faust is either pure, an image or just plain dull, but it seems like she is also the Nerd goddess... I feel out leagued '

Mathael pulled something out of his pockets, it was a big red badge and stuck it to Faust's armor. Faust looked down and smirked when she read what was written on it. 'Mademoiselle le empress de strangling, Nerd goddess.'

Faust said with a raised eyebrow and a small smile."Really? You think I am a fan of the space marines?"

Mathael shrugged and said"At least it was worth a try. Anyways, I am probably going to wake up soon, so I guess it's time to say goodbye Fausty. Cheerio" With his sentence finished, Mathael slowly faded from Lauren's realm until he completely vanished.

Faust smiled before waving her hand in front of her and creating a desk, a chair, and a big Pc. Faust smiled before sitting down, putting on a headset and saying."I guess it's now time again to build a monolith, or three, to crush the Tau! I think I will miss this once the whole war is over an have to work again, but I still got a bit of time left so why not use it?"

Mathaels POV. Worst time of the day, waking up.

Mathael groaned silently when he felt the second most annoying thing in the morning, as it's evil powers enabled it to slowly burn it's way through his eyes lids to petrify his eyeballs, the Sun. Mathael, who didn't want to face the next day, rolled a bit to the right to have his back face the sun, but then he felt something soft in his face which caused his eyes to shoot open.

Mathael saw with his groggy vision two brown and fluffy circles in front of his face, but after a few moments, he saw that on these circles where... Mathael positions his body so that he could sit on the bed and saw that there where two more creatures that joined his bed, and they were not invited to his place of resting.

The first uninvited guest was none other than Eris herself. Mathael sighed when he saw a female version of Discord since he liked more original versions of a Draconequus a bit more than just a Female Discord, but who was Mathael to judge others looks considering that he looked like a bad Alicorn OC.

The other 'guest' was a weird one. She looked exactly like Mathael whenever he would become a Mare, but looked a lot younger and seemed to be a black Unicorn. Mathael was about to ask who she was until Mathael recognized the energy signature.

Mathael thought with a shocked expression.'Artemis!?!?!?'

Mathael stared at the scene for several seconds until Artemis was slowly waking up from feeling Mathael's confusion radiating from him. The moment couldn't have been more awkward as both of them just stared at the other for several seconds until something unexpected happened.

Eris woke up and hugged Mathael while making him suffocate in her chest fluff. Eris said in a happy and cheerful mood while hugging Mathael to death."You have finally awoken my savior! These cruel Caribou have done such disgusting things to me, but you saved me!"

Mathael was getting really worried that she might be waking Darkness, but after using his Byakugan he was relieved and made him roll his eyes when he saw that Darkness was happily sleeping and sometimes gave off a snore.

Mathael snapped his fingers to stop time and teleport himself in front of the bed with crossed arms. Mathael cleared his throat and said nicely."So, mind telling me why I have woken up with the two of you in one bed?"

Artemis was confused why Mathael would be angry for her sleeping next to him, it wasn't like there was anything to be uncomfortable with. Artemis looked at her body and froze in place when she realized that she was a bit fleshy then she was before and cave off a deafening screech that would've shattered all windows in 200 feet radius, but since time stopped, so have the rules of the universe.

Mathael sighed and used Silence on Artemis so she could continue screaming without further hurting Eris's hearing capabilities. Mathael then walked a step closer towards Eris which looked like he was towering her by a lot and caused her to sweat a bit.

Eris stuttered nervously."w-w-well, y-you see..." Mathael simply raised an eyebrow which literally caused Eris to cover her eyes with her hand and fall with her back first on the bed again. Eris groaned loudly enough to force Mathael to create a Sound Wall around Darkness so she could continue sleeping. Rule number one if you are in a relationship, doing pranks is ok as long as they spice things up as long as the aftereffects don't last all too long and an entire day with a bad mood is way too long.

Mathael asked nicely."You don't have to be so careful around me. There is literally nothing you could do to hurt me, at least physically and likely mental too, so say it already, I won't judge."

Eris got back up from her crash and now stood directly in front of Mathael which made it look like she was towering him, thankfully her exactly-in-front-of-Mathael's-eyes-positioned-breasts were hidden behind a thick layer of fur which saved Mathael from a Dark Soul worthy death of nose bleed. Eris inhaled a lot of air before loudly exhaling and closing her eyes before saying bluntly."I have a huge crush on you."

'Hello again windows loading screen. Been a while since we meet, hasn't it? Wow, even with windows 9999 I still have to load updates at the worst times ever.'

When Mathael regained his 'superior supercomputer' on which admittedly wasn't the whole history of cliches stored, he saw that Eris was on the edge of crying with those big teary eyes. To everyone surprise, Mathael widely opened his arms and hugged Eris with a strong hug which Eris returned with a smile on her own.

After a few moments of hugging Mathael asked."Not to offend you, but why do you have a crush on me? You only saw me murdering a bunch, or rather a few thousand Caribous, and turning Shining Dick into Shinning Dickless. Wouldn't someone less murderous, malicious and more chaotic be a better fitting Partner/Mate for you?"

Eris expression saddened instantly and sighed while looking away. Eris said while not keeping eye contact."What do you see when you look at me, Mathael?"

Mathael raised an eyebrow and asked."I know next to nothing of exactly who you are so I cannot judge you by that, and I don't judge others by their appearance. The only thing I could say would be that I see a Female who is very lively and like to have fun."

Eris smiled a little bit, but it vanished just as fast as it came. Eris sighed and said with a hint of grief."That is already the second nicest thing someone ever said that to me, but you are the first one to do it because you freely chose to do so. All creature see me as a monster, the Ponies, the Dragons, even the Diamond Dogs! I never had a family, I never had ''real' friends, it was always just me being alone."

Mathael frowned with sadness as he knew exactly what it was like to be feared. Mathael said with a soft voice and an attempt to cheer her up."I don't think that's true. What about the Element Bearers and the Ponies of Ponyville?"

Eris could only huff and pout simultaneously when she hears Mathaels words. Eris explained."Sure, they are 'good friends.' It's not like every time no matter what I do whenever I do they want to 'poof' out of existence again, and Fluttershy only did it because she has a real problem with peer pressure. Back then it was just a whole 'i don't care what you like, but if you won't change I will hold a gun(Magical weapon) on your temples and wait until you slip up once like a hungry coyote, but if you change everything will be fine'! You might think that there was at least 1, just one, Pony or any other creature that would like me, right? Well, apparently no as even the Ponies with extreme xenophilia would keep their distance to me. No matter where I go, I am despised . . . The glares, the disgusted looks, the snide remarks, the whispering . . . " At the end of her sentence, tears started to form in the corner in the eyes.

Mathael sighed loudly and said."I know exactly what it's like to be hated by everyone and everything. I probably have the darkest past of all time and was the most known and feared villain that exists, and even though I am no longer the bad guy, people fear me. You say that people think you are a monster to the point that you believe it yourself, but that's wrong, you are not a monster. I am considered a monster, both from the inside and outside. I mean I am literally partly demon and done things that would scar any creature for life. Huh, I am as far from being a Pony as I can even be. I am only a husk of my former self, a powerful one, but even my flesh is just pure darkness." when Mathael finished his sentence, his arm formed into a black liquid that he formed into a claw that was just a bit bigger than his original hand. After showing it for a few moments, he reformed it back into its original state.

Mathael looked Eris deeply into her eyes and said with a smile."You are not a monster, Eris. Monsters are made, not born, but even if something is made by sentient hand, it isn't instantly a monster. A monster takes pleasure in hurting the innocents while fully understanding that what you are doing is hurting them and not when you look different, and Ponies misunderstand your true intentions."

This time, it was Eris who hugged Mathael with all her strength while crying loudly. Mathael was the first being to openly state that he didn't see a monster, that understood her and what it was like to be in her place, but it was still said that this was the first time someone said something so nice to her after so many millennia.

Mathael said with a smile."Just let it all out, Eris. No one is going to treat you like that here." The two of them stayed in that position for several seconds until Eris broke the hug herself.

Eris said a bit embarrassed."T-Thank you, Mathael. It has been a very long time since someone hugged me like that without the person being disgusted."

Mathael smiled and was about to say something, but he felt someone tap on his right shoulder. Mathael looked back and saw that it was Darkness who crossed her arms before pointing with her right index finger at her ears and muzzle.

Mathael stared at Darkness for a few moments before giving her a small smile in embarrassment before dispelling the Sound Wall and the Silence he put on Artemis.

Once Darkness regained her hearing and speaking, a big smile spread across her face as she jested."So, you brought back two girls while I sleep? How naughty of you... hahaha, no, I can't even haha, I can't even say this w-without haha laughing!" Int he ends, Darkness couldn't even resist her own jokes.

Mathael's burned with so much Embarrassment that it colored his face red. 'The burning you feel? It is a shame...'

Mathael said with a slow to regular returning, but still red face."Hmpf, Darkness, this is Eris, Eris, this is Darkness, and the last one in this bed is Artemis, one of my shadow Guards and disciples. Although they were not invited, they are not unwanted here."

Darkness raised an eyebrow and asked."Since when do you have disciples and when did you meet.. Eris, there? It's kind of funny that I am not freaking out anymore to see strangers in our bed after everything I saw with you, and it only been a few weeks."

Artemis said proudly."Master Mathael created us about three days ago or in your world, last night. There are five of us, and we fought in a war to save a world very similar to this one where Dainn won."

Darkness was still frozen from the first part. "created" . Mathael could make life? Sentient life? Slowly the information seeped into Darkness's mind until she realized that she apparently missed a whole adventure of Mathael.

Darkness curiously asked."So, another one of your adventures, huh?"

Mathael answered bluntly."Yes, although, I think it was for the better that no one in this world would see the nightmares that existed in that world. Some things there would probably even give me nightmares if I still could get them. I am going to explain everything, maybe in a very censored version when we see the others."

Mathael then turned his attention to Artemis and said."Could you please put some clothes on? I can understand if Eris walks nude because of all the fur covering her private parts, but you are quite exposed."

Artemis saluted, but this caused her part of the blanket to fall onto the bed, leaving no room for imagination as imagination has already bled out of Mathael's nose. There was literally a small trail of blood that went down Mathael nose before used his virus to consume the lost liquid and cover his eyes with his hands.

'Damn, I made the same mistake the guild Ainz Ooal Gown did with creating something so beautiful. I mean, she looks like me when I made specific 'experiments,' but I didn't even realize how gorgeous I would look like a Mare.'

Later

Mathael sat on a large round table, next to Darkness, and looked at the door while waiting for the others to wake up. To his surprise, there were two beings in this room before them, and those were Thunder and Stary, who waited for breakfast, or at least Stary was.

Mathael looked to his right and saw a pink earth Pony maid take Darkness's breakfast order. The Earth Pony wore a simple, black and white, Maid uniform, one that the Mare apparently proudly wore. It wouldn't surprise Mathael to hear that wearing this kind of clothing while working for the Princesses was one of the highest honor a Pony could get.

"And what would you like to eat, sir?"

Mathael was thrown out of his thought when the Maid asked him. Mathael responded kindly."I thank you for asking, but I am not hungry." That was a complete lie, Mathael could literally eat a whole whale at the moment, again, literally, but he strongly disliked the food that was served in this castle.

The Mare nodded and walked away while the only thing that remained of her was the sound of heels hitting the polished marble.

Mathael sighed inward as he sunk into his seat a bit.'So, It's time to lift the big secret of 'who is Mathael' to his loved ones. Funny, there is literally nothing anyone on this small world could ever do to me, as long as I stay above like 10% of my power, maybe even lower. Thinking about amusing threats, the Elements don't even know about my past, I can only guess what they will say. I just wish I could remember everything, but the last third of my corruption phase was so fuzzy. '

*Click*

Mathael looked straight in front of him and saw that the golden double door was slowly opening, revealing the Princesses who wore a kind smile on their faces, like always, the other girls and Spike. A small smile made it across Mathaels face, but it quickly died as he remembered how serious he needed to be.

Twilight suddenly teleported in front of Mathael with the spell book he made. Twilight was grinning so happily that Mathael was wondering how her cheekbones didn't break yet. Twilight said exited."Oh. My. Celestia. The knowledge this book contains is so advanced. I can only imagine if this is just a 'basic spellbook,' how advanced your magic is!"

Right after Twilight came Rainbow Dash, who accidentally pushed Twilight away with how fast she flew and held a Daring Do book in front of his face."This book is so amazing, Mathael! Daring Do is such an awesome adventurer, and it's so exciting. I take it back when I said that you were an egg head, this is too much fun!"

Mathael was leaned back as far as he could into his chair while his claws dug into the bottom of his seat. Mathael said."Ehm. . . Thank you, I guess?" Mathael sat on the back of his chair as every one of the girls was giving their thanks for the gifts he gave them and for saving the Gala.

The Last ones who thanked Mathael were the Princesses. Luna said bluntly."I thank you for last night, Mathael. I didn't even know that fingers could reach so deep into my body."

Luna used Mass Blush.

it was super effective

Mathael and Thunder received the status effect bleeding.

Thunder fainted Luna gained + 26 awkward points.

Mathael is dying in his seat [ Paralyzed ]

Princess Celestia who blushed a bit explained."Do not misunderstand my sister. Mathael did not do certain acts with my sister. We just happened to cross the path this night, and Mathael decided to give us a message, one that relived a lot of stress."

Mathael noded and said with a smile."I owe you something for saving this situation. Anyways, after breakfast, I would like to talk to all you of you about everything that is important about me to know since I think that most of you I am still a mystery. But, I should warn you, this may not be a happy tale to tell, so I highly advise Spike and the Fillies to maybe not listen to my story."

Spike asked curiously"How bad could you Story be? I mean, you look perfectly mentally healthy, or at least healthier than Twilight sometimes."

"Hey!"

Mathael stared at Spike for a few moments before he burst into laughter when he heard that. Mathael laughed for a minute which slightly creeped out the FIlies. Mathael wished the tears in the corners of his eyes away and said."I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am even more insane than Discord, at least if you look at it from a scientific view. I think I can safely say that I am the most insane Pony this world has ever seen, oh well, it isn't shocking considering what horrors I saw in my long Life."

There was a long pause silence and stares directed at Mathael from everyone in the room. They all looked at Mathael who still wore his usual smile like always, but then, Pinkie jumped into the air and gasped loudly. Pinkie walked in front of Mathael and looked into his face with a stern expression, one, that didn't Pinkie at all.

Pinkie said in realization."That smile was just a lie, wasn't it?"

Mathael shrugged and said."Most of the time, at least when I am not with friends, but in public, I just try to 'act' happy, that's it. Live just becomes a bit dull after many millions of years, there is little I can do about it, that's why not everyone is immortal, it's not because then there would be too many creatures, no, it's because Live loses its colors and there are only very few things that can survive the tooth of time. Love, Pain, Grief, Hatred, the list is very short you should know. Anyways, the 'smile' I show my friends, including you, was always a right one."

Just as his audience wanted to ask why he said this, the Maiden from earlier walked into the room with a plate filled with various fruit meals with the main course being something made out of mango with multiple shark forks pointing out of it. Suddenly, one heel of her black shoes broke and was falling to the ground.

Mathael used his Superhuman Speed to reach the Mare just in time. Mathael caught the mare with his hands, but let the plate fall on the ground.

The Maid said shocked."I am so sorry for letting the food drop!"

Mathael rolled his eyes and said."While I, as a Chef, honor all food, you should value your own health a bit more. Those small knives could easily impale you which would be an even greater tragedy. And before you get worried that the cook might get angry, I can cook a lot better than mister Salty on flambée in the royal kitchen. Seriously, setting something on fire that was drowned in salt isn't making a good meal."

After Mathael told the Mare this, she was smiling and giggling a little. Mathael then snapped his fingers to repair her shoe, and she walked away to continue her job.

Mathael looked down and saw that what the Maid carried was almost completely ruined, besides the which was a half-shattered bowl of creme and mango bits. Mathael used his index finger's claw to swipe a piece of mango with creme off and put it in his mouth before swallowing it. This decision was a bad one as his muzzle instantly scrunched up and silently spit into a newly created tissue. It wasn't the taste that was so bad, but. . .

Mathael thought after snapping his fingers and putting this 'meal' out of its misery or in normal words, poofed it out of existence. 'Dear Acasia, as a cook, this hurts so much to eat something like that. The ingredients were forced together, and their only purpose was to be expensive, there is no love, just too much sugar.'

Mathael turned around with a real smile on his face and said."Do not worry, I am not spending my time just to make my life more interesting, no, I do it because you are my friends that I sometimes envy."

Fluttershy asked shyly."For what do you envy us?"

Mathael answered."For having a normal and happy life. Anyways, would you like to eat some of my cooking?" Almost everyone besides Darkness, the Princesses, Thunder, and Stary.

Twilight asked curiously."You can cook?"

Mathael muttered before actually answering"Here we go again, yes, dear Twilight, I am an excellent cook, if I may say so." The others looked at the Princesses and Darkness who nodded.

Mathael pointed his finger in front of him before saying out loud."Gate". as a gate opened in the air through which Mathael walked.

For several seconds, no word was spoken.

Rainbow Dash asked curiously."Is something wrong with him? He seemed a bit less, well, him, and why was he talking so deep?" Rainbow Dash received many nods of approval while all looks landed on Darkness.

Darkness sighed and explained."From what I could gather from Artemis while we changed our clothes, Mathael saved an entire world where Dainn would have won, thus, turning the world into one where we Mares are just sex toys. Apparently, Mathael saw something that horrified him on a new level, he was scared, and he didn't like it."

Trixi asked."Who is Artemis?"

Zecora asked."What could possibly scare Mathael?"

Darkness shrugged and said."I don't know more than that, but I am sure he'll explain everything after breakfast."

After a few minutes, Mathael came back with a massive tray that he pushed in front of the table. His friends could only stare in awe as the delicious aroma of the meals he prepared as they were made out of gourmet world ingredients. Mathael used his 0,1-micron hairs to place all plates in the right place.

Everyone in the room began to happily eat their meal, especially Spike who received a dish made out of various gems from different worlds while even moans from the Princesses lips escaped making Mathael uneasy. Everyone, but two Equines ate their meal, and those two were Mathael and Thunder Spark.

Mathael asked politely."Is something wrong with your meal, Thunder?"

Thunder said shyly."I-It's not that, but we Changelings don't eat regular food."

Mathael smiled and said."I can assure you that your meal is everything, but normal. Just try it, and I can guarantee you, it will blow your mind."

Thunder looked down at his plate with an unsure expression. It looked like someone just put a weird, pink, heart-shaped fruit on his plate.

Thunder sighed as Mathael looked at him with his determined look and a small smile as if he knew something Thunder didn't. Without any way of escaping this situation, he grabbed the fruit, moved it in front of his mouth and took a bite of it. His eyes went wide when the flavor spread inside his mouth. Not only the flavor was sweet and taste like vanilla, but there was love energy in it as well. In just a mere second, the fruit was devoured.

Thunder half-shouted."HOW!-how, did you manage to do that, what was that for fruit, how did we not find it?!"

Mathael chuckled loudly and said."What you just ate was one of the rarest fruits in the creation, the Love Fruit, as it can only be created by powerful creatures and so far, only three managed to do so. Asura, the legendary Monster Hunter, Ash, the legendary Saiyan and old humble me. I created it by using a bit of my love for my lovers and a gourmet fruit."

Thunder said happily to the point he almost sounded like Morgan Freeman himself gifted him a cake."With this, the Changelings never have to hunger again, you can save us from our hunger for love."

Mathael chuckled again as all the praise was in his eyes very cute. Mathael said with a smile."I am still thinking on how to best approach Chrysalis as I am sure that she would not like seeing me walking through her guards, but yes, this is what I will do."

Everyone in the room stopped eating for a few moments or at least moaning more quietly to listen to Mathael's and Thunder's conversation and were touched by his generosity and kindness.

After everyone finished their breakfasts and Thunder devoured his sith Love Fruit, Mathael snapped his fingers to get rid of the dirty dishes and stood up. Mathael walked in front of everyone and pointed his finger at the wall behind him without breaking eye contact with his friends. Suddenly a portal opened behind Mathael out of which walked out various Creatures.

The Creatures that exited the Portal were a Kelpie, a Unicorn, a Draconequus, a Thestral who looked precisely like Darkness and an Earth Pony,

Mathael turned around and greeted them."Greeting, I am happy that all of you could make it, we have important matters to discuss, but before that, I would like to make something clear. You owe me nothing, I don't want to get anything for helping you with your problem. If that was the reason you chose to come to this world, then please rethink your decision as I don't want you to 'suffer' here or realize after a few years that you regret your decision."

The looks of the Girls in front of him looked a bit confused and unsure, which was precisely what Mathael wanted. Mathael didn't want them to live with him because they feel like that they owe him their life and should repay it to him as good as they could.

Mathael said."Anyways, I think you should take a seat, we have much to discuss." Like Mathael offered, the new Girls took place on their places. The other Girls looked at the new ones with a lot of curiosity, especially Darkness who was stared at from Justice with almost watered eyes.

Mathael then was about to sit in his own seat again too, but it was already occupied by Justice, so he merely sat between the Princesses. Mathael said."Would you like to introduce yourselves to the others?" The new Girls nodded, and each of them stood up and told their names.

"Hello, I am Anubis."

"Greetings, I am Shadow Guard, Artemis, Apretince of Mathael"

"If I may introduce myself, I am Eris, the Spirit of Chaos, or at least I was in my old world."

"Hi, I am Midnight Watch."

"Hi everyone, I am Justice Bloodheart."

Everyone listened carefully to their names, but when Justice named off her name, Darkness jumped off her seat and said."Wait! Why do you have my family name?"

Mathael was already quietly chuckling and awaited the explanation.

Justice explained."In my world, I had a sister named Darkness Bloodheart who. . . it isn't important, but I am the daughter of Blood Tooth and Dark Kiss."

Darkness turned her head towards Mathael who instantly stopped his emotions upon eye contact. Darkness asked."Mathael, are Justice, and I related even though? Or are we just looking similar?"

Mathael pulled out Celestia's and Luan's horns he collected from Dainn's throne and put them on the table. Mathael explained."These here are the horns of the other worlds Princesses, please remember that I was not the one who took them off. After checking the genetic material, or DNA, I found out that they matched with 100% accuracy, so yes, you two are technically sisters. Congratulations. . . ?!"

Darkness was stunned by this information while Justice squeaked in joy before hugging Darkness like it was the last thing she would do.

Mathael smiled until he remembered that one Mare was still missing.'Where Is Erebus? oh no, the kids can't see her like that!!!'

And just like Mathael foresaw, a gate opened behind him. His friends looked at the gate with great confusion. Mathael didn't waste a seconds before using his Soru to appear next to the portal and using his reality warping magic to create two black squares on which were written 'Censored.'

A very draconic and sexy looking Mare exited the gate and looked at Mathael with a very confused expression before chuckling loudly. Erebus said."There is no need to worry, Mathael. I put some clothes on to not ruin the children's innocence, why else do you think I came so late? It is so annoying to find a fitting bra and to put it on, why do Mares even wear those things?"

Mathael rolled his eyes before throwing the two censoring squares away into nothingness, seeing that she indeed wore a pair of blue jeans and a simple white t-shirt, even though it was a bit small for her, and saying."Hello, Erebus, It is nice that you could make it and I am grateful that you decided to not come nude. As for why Mare wear bras? There are a lot of Stallions out there who, and I quote Asura, 'are Bastards.'"

Erebus shrugged and said."While I normally don't have a problem for people admiring my body, I too think that there are limits. Anyways, hello, Ponies, Changelings, Kelpies, and draconequui, I am Erebus, former goddess of Darkness, and it's a pleasure to meet you all."

Mathael's friends stared at Erebus for a few moments before a chorus simultaneously said."Wow."

Mathael said politely."Anyways, if everyone would now please take a seat, I would like to tell you first about the operation: Rise of the Fallen Equestria and then about something personal and what most of you don't, but should be aware of my past." And like Mathael said, everyone went to a seat and sat down.

The Princesses and Darkness looked at the other with a severe and worried expression as they knew that the Element Bearers and his friends deserved to know about it, but they also knew that it was a very touchy and dark subject.

Mathael took his place between the Princesses and used his "Sound Wall" to create a wall of sound around the CMC and Spike so they wouldn't have to hear about those disturbing things.

After the safety measurements have been made, Mathael began to explain everything that has happened in the other world in a very detailed version. Mathael hated what happened there and made sure they would understand his anger. Of course, Mathael did tell them about the good things that happened too like the being a few good Caribou and what he did to the dreaded King Dainn. Although, he did not tell them anything that could spoil future events.

Mathael said after he finished his explanation."I have seen terrible things there, and there was a machine that even scared, no, terrified me. It was a tool that would take your mind, your memories, everything you are and make you something else. A fate so much worse than death."

Everyone that heard Mathaels words had tears in their eyes, even Erebus who tried to hide them. Mathael, on the other hand, decided his best stay calm, not that he wanted to cry, but it was a very 'touchy' theme for him.

After he finished the storytelling about his adventures, Mathael dispelled his Sound Wall.

Mathael slowly exhaled for a few moments before saying."Anyways, I think it's time that all of you know my Story, and those who already knew most of it, hear how it all began and maybe learn a bit more." Mathael made a short pause before beginning to tell his Story.

Mathael started telling his story with a neutral expression while the others looked at him with curious looks."In my previous Live, I was known as Matthew Roberts, please stop snickering Spike, and lived a pretty normal and happy life. Sadly, when I became 16, my mother died after an incident, My brother died a few years afterward and so did my father due to Cancer. I lost my family, I was alone, and if it weren't for my father, I wouldn't be here. In his last moments, he told me to get a life, to do something with it and achieve something great."

Mathael smiled which gave the others at least some hope that the story won't be all too painful". With new hopes and dreams, I sold everything I didn't need and moved far away to work in an excellent video game company as the Man to solve all organization problems. I did a good job, did get paid good, and was already starting to feel a bit better. During one event that I planned, I spotted a man trying to rob and murder a woman, so I did the only normal thing. I stepped in, broke that dudes balls, and saved her."

Mathael's smiled became a bit smaller, but it was not a was not a laughing smile, it was a loveable smile."Her name was Elisabeth Goldheath, and it was love on the first look. We loved each other, played games, laughed and even dated a few times, but we never came close enough to do 'adult stuff.' Everything seemed to be perfect, but things just didn't want to be this way. She got sick, very sick and soon. . . she died."

Mathael's face formed a frown on it, a very sad one too."Fed up with life and drowning in depressions, I was done with life, I just wanted to give up. After a few days into my depression, I got a letter from her. Even in death, she only cared for my best and told me to continue my life, and I tried my best to follow her wish."

Mathael looked quite angry."I sold everything I had, and in the end, I had around 1,3 million dollars, that is a lot of money, and searched for a special man, the Merchant. For anyone who doesn't know him, there was a rumor about a man being able to give you powers beyond imagination, for a small price of money, your life on earth and often even your humanity. I found the Merchant after a long time of searching and made a deal with him. 1,3 million dollars, which again would be easily your entire castle treasury times a few times, in return for power that could even slay gods was the deal I made with him. I was so happy back then to be able to start a new life, but it all went wrong. The power was too much, I died in one of the most painful and gruesome ways as my entire being was ripped apart. And that damn Merchant even tried to brush it under the carpet as if nothing happened!"

Mathael's expression calmed down a bit."But, I was lucky. The Merchant boss stepped in and gave me a second chance. He took away a lot of the power that was given to me, my memories and my humanity but gifted me live. He used my new lifeforce to make a certain demon lord of lust pregnant, my mother, Amorosa."

Mathael smiled once again, but it only lasted for a short period of time."Like every child, I was born and lived with my new mother, my new father, Asariel the angel of freedom and my brother, well, as normal as your Parents being the literal opposite as it could be. I was happy and lived a carefree and simpled live. Sadly, the things I loved were retaken from me when I was still just a kid, because of this world."

Everyone in the room gulped loudly as the malice in his words was almost suffocating.

Mathael's looked a bit dead when he said this part"And ancient creature and servant of the corruption, SIndrael, used the negative emotions of this world to make a deal with the local demons of my new home, making them powerful, but also turning them into monsters. The corrupted demons. . . They murdered my friends, my family and they were going to kill me too if it wasn't for Sidnrael himself, but now looking back, I think I should've rather chose death instead. The deal was simple, he would give me all of his Crystalized darkness, or seeds of corruption he had, in exchange for making me powerful and able to survive. Like a dumb child, I was back then, I accepted the deal and became a monster among monsters. With my new powers, I murdered the demons and left my dead homeworld."

Mathael sounded sad, even a bit desperate."I thought I would live, with a broken heart, but I still would live, but I was wrong. At first, I would try to gain power and knowledge by the normal way, by learning and training from powerful creatures, like the ones who taught me my gourmet world powers, but when I reached a certain point of power, I changed against my will."

"I would just take power by either stealing or killing, I no longer had a conscience, but no voices kept telling me to do this acts and that they were right. I became more of a monster with each day, with every world I burned to dust. Only a few worlds survived my wrath when they did something that would even reach through my chains that wrapped around my mind."

Mathael still looked sad, but smiled a bit"After many years, decades, centuries, millennia, up to even eons, I was a slave for the dark purposes of SIndrael and his master, until I met one creature, the only being that was ever able to gain my deep and utter respect and honor, my master Zenyatta. Master Zenyatta beat me in a battle, not in hurting me, or using magic, but freed me. I was weak, vulnerable, at his mercy. And what did he do in the end? He took me in, made me his student and gave me a second chance. For years, I lived a normal life."

Mathael sounded very sad, as If he didn't want to continue talking, but he still did "It was hard or me to live like that, I was depressed, scared, anxiety and didn't trust anyone, nor would I let anyone come close to me. The guilt of knowing that I deserved Nothing, but to die for my sins was so much agony in the back of my mind. At some point, I was even about to give up, with live and just end my pathetic and miserable existence. . . "

Everyone in the room gasped when they heard that he wanted to take his own life, Mathael ignored it and continued with his story."My master didn't let it happen and supported me until the end, where I would be able to live. On my own." saying this calmed everyone in the room a bit.

Mathael smiled happily and chuckled a bit during this part."After I was able to live again; I wanted to find the merchant and find out how to find this world to take revenge. My plan didn't go as I wanted to because the boss of the merchant talked with my master about a huge problem due to my displacement and the possibility that I would lose my mind if he would not alter my memories. Of course, there was a high chance I would remember everything which I did in the end. My memories were changed, and I was given back my human memories. I woke up in the forest near Darkness's village and thought that my displacement worked and I was amazed by my new godly powers. I played a bit around with them and then began to train to control the power better."

Mathael shocks his head a few times."I made swords that somehow changed their appearance into their current state and for some reason looked them away, I know, that sounds dumb because that was only what I thought happened. In truth, I was only given those memories to know where my weapons are. I also created guns and a walking cane sword."

Mathael smiled and looked at Darkness for a few moments"After many years of training, I went for a walk and soon found the love of my love, sitting half dead against a tree and close to being killed by an undead crab man. I murdered the beast and all other monsters that threatened her village, thus saving them and later even healed Darkness, giving back her wings.

Mathael looked down at the table as if he felt guilty, very, very guilty."Every time Darkness asked me about my story, I would just blurt out this stuff even though I had no idea why. Why would I call myself Mathael when my name was Matthew? Why would I tell this crap about my past!? Why would I feel ok when I told these things that my mind said and feel like a complete and utter liar every time I even thought of wanting to tell her that I was just a random dude who won the power lottery, well, not the literal power lottery, without having the feeling of guilt almost crushing me?"

Mathael sighed and said the last part calmly "Well, the story continued from there on, I continued to remember more and more about my past, and everything went like it is today. I am sorry that I didn't tell you this earlier Darkness, but I didn't want to ever tell you a lie, I am deeply sorry if you are hurt or angry."

Mathael looked down at the table while waiting for the other reactions, what they would say or think. Mathael thought that they wouldn't be friends with a guy who lied so much about his past, why would they even believe him, why would Darkness love someone who lied to her from day one?

To Mathael's surprise, he felt to beings hug him. Mathael looked at his right and saw that one of them was Luna who was crying and not caring for her makeup to run down her face while the other person was Darkness herself who hugged him with even more tears in her face.

Mathael was confused why they cried, they already knew most of it. Mathael then looked around and saw that every last one of his friends was sobbing loudly from his story, everyone besides Erebus who just looked away with a sad expression. The only reason Mathael wasn't crying was that he was trying to accept the things that happened as Mathael knew that he couldn't cry after his past forever, but Mathael also would always remember and keep the ones he lost close to his heart.

"Please don't cry for me, everything happened a long time ago, and I want to at least try to make peace with it, but seeing you in pain from my past causes me even greater pain in the heart," I said with a slightly cracked and full of sadness filled voice.

Luna said after wishing away her watered makeup and tear."How can you say it like that so easily? How can you just get over it?"

Mathael's expression darkened as he looked down at the ground and closed his eyes for a few moments. After a few moments, Mathael opened my eyes again and said."I don't, I am trying to, but those memories will never leave me, and that is good. No matter what happens, I would never want to forget them, or what made me the being I am today, no matter what happens."

Darkness looked up to Mathael and into his eyes and asked as she wished her face dry on his clothes ."How long has it been for you to tell anyone your full Story, Mathael? How many worlds and how many beings have you met until you became friends with us and opened yourself?"

Mathael sighed loudly and said."Far too long. I am very old, and it has been a long time for me to open up to anyone since my human life perished. I could have been millions of years since then, possibly even longer, but, I may sound crazy, it was worth the wait." Mathael smiled when he finished the sentence.

To everyone's surprise, Erebus spoke up and said."I am quite impressed that you were able to tell your story without backing out or possibly leaving something out even though you feared that they might you for not telling or rather not knowing the whole truth."

"You thought we would leave you thought that you not telling everything about you to us?" Mathael winced a bit when h heard that and nodded weakly. Darkness sighed and said with an unamused expression."If you wouldn't be a literal god, then I would call you a wimp."

WHAT!?!?!

Erebus smiled and explained after everyone shouted in confusion."Yes, everybody, you heard right. Mathael is a 'god,' and he is going to be taking my place as the god of darkness. He was so mature when he heard the news to become an actual god, and he even saved me from fading out of existence. I couldn't think of a better father of my future children."

Mathael's smile fell,, and he learned as far into the back of the chair as he could while thinking.'Oh oh, this is not going to end well.'

Darkness looked at Erebus for a few moments in disbelief before asking."Could you please repeat that, Erebus?"

Erebus explained."Oh, you see, I have been searching for a mate for a very long time, but sadly, no one could 'fertilize my flower,' until Mathael came at least. Mathael is capable of giving what I want, and he agreed to it, well, at least once the Corruption is gone. So, instead of a romantic evening, I shall receive a small amount of his sperm or rather about two gallons."

'Two-two-two-two-two-two-two TWO GALLONS?!?!? Dear mother Teresa above and every other religious being, omnipotent creature and else, please have mercy on my dammed soul.'

Erebus was furious by the looks of it and growled."So you just acted like the maiden in distress, and since you knew Mathael would never say no, you think you could just milk him?!"

Mathael put his hands together and was hoping for the best' I know we haven't talked that much of lately, but please, save me, Superman.'

Erebus said calmly."So, I am the one who is using him for my own gain now? Well, funny hearing them from you. You may be the one that 'saved' him from himself, but I think you are missing one important point, you are his biggest weakness. What do you think will happen once you die, even if it's a natural death? Mathael will live forever, he immortal while you will crumble to dust, leaving him alone again until each and every last of his friends will die, and no, Celly and Lulu won't live forever as this world does not last forever, and even they can die so quickly. All of you will leave him behind and alone while I am the only one besides possibly Faust who will stay by his side forever even after all of you are long gone, it is the truth, sad, but true." Darkness was shocked when she heard this and was beginning to get worried for Mathael

Mathael, on the other hand, was in a far worse spot. Mathael was extremely hyperventilating to the point the Princesses got worried. Darkness was slowly creeping into his vision while his heart raced with a million miles an hour and his emotions went crazy.

'Everyone I love will one day die, I will be alone, even the Princesses will die one day from anything. Would my friends accept being with him for eternity? No, they would possibly do it in the begging, but after a few generations, they would not be able to do it anymore, not capable of bearing the pain and loss. What about Darkness, would her love overcome time? Would she leave everything behind at some point to spend the rest of time with him? No, as much as he loved her and she loved him, it would only be a matter of time until she asked him to reverse her immortality and what then? Would she live the last 60 years happily with him while she grows older or would she ask him to kill her ending her suffering? He would be alone forever, just a being to watch as he would go insane after many lonely years. Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone forever alone... Mathael thought as his vision darkened more with each second, the sound around him became duller and his sense numbed until his vision was consumed by blackness. The last thing he saw before he fell unconscious was how the ceiling moved a bit until he heard a loud crack from his chair as it hit the ground backward.

"Wow, you are more like Twilight than I thought," said Spike in Matahel's last moments before losing consciousness.

Author's Notes:

Sorry that this Chapter is so short in comparison to the last ones, but I didn't want to build in a cliffhanger in this Chapter.
