Alicorn Amulet's Prisoner
Chapter 4: Chapter 4: A Brief Lunch and Questionnaire
Previous Chapter Next ChapterNow that I had some time to adjust it turns out I have to go meet the Princess Cadence, Shining Armour, and someone named Thorax, who is also a king. [Insert Groaning Here] Me and everyone else is in a train at the moment, Discord offered teleporting us to the Crystal Empire but I declined since magic is still reacting badly when it touches me at the moment. Twilight had to ask a sensitive question, "So Eris. I hope you don't mind but what was it like in that amulet?"
I faked a hurt look and said, "Twilight! That is something I hate to speak of! How could you?" I giggled and said, "At first it wasn't that bad as long as someone was wearing it but it got annoying fast. You couldn't do anything! Not even sleep! I stayed awake the entire time just staring at a void of red, forced to do nothing but wait." I was being dramatic while I was saying most of that, like Discord did while trying to conquer Equestria.
Twilight did a face of annoyance, "You're very similar to Discord, did you know that?" I asked her what did she expect, we're twins after all.
"We have arrived at the Crystal Empire!" Pinkie Pie yelled while wearing a conductor outfit. The train stopped after she said that and the doors opened to reveal a snowy wasteland. We all walked out with no difficulty, Twilight made a bubble but I stepped out before I was trapped in there with them.
"Um. Eris, you do know it's freezing out there right?" Twilight asked me and giving me a look that asked if I was dumb or not.
"Eris is extremely resisted to the cold Twilight," Discord explained, "In fact she is able to withstand below sub-zero temperature, although she is very weak to the heat unlike me."
I rolled my eyes at that. "But you are very weak to the cold," I shot back. And with that we all walked toward the big pink shield in the middle of the blizzard.
When we got there the shield was giving me and Discord a bit of difficulty but we got in eventually. When I entered I found a rather beautiful scene, there was a sunny sky, even though I dislike them it was nice, a green grass field, some bushes with berries that look like they are made of crystal, and many buildings made of pure crystal somehow. I marveled at the beauty of the Crystal Empire. "Shocked at it's beauty?" Discord asked, I just rolled my eyes and nodded as a response to his question.
We walked to the castle in the middle of the city since that is where we're meeting the other ponies."So who are we exactly meeting?" I asked. Everyone sighed in slight annoyance at that.
"We are meeting my brother, my sister-in-law, and a dear friend of ours," Twilight said with an annoyed tone, they're annoyed since I asked this at least three times, four counting this time. We passed some guards wearing crystal armor who saluted as we passed and a glowing blue crystal shaped as a heart before entering one of the doors into the castle. It took about twenty minutes before we entered the throne room.
In the throne room was a white coated and blue maned/tailed unicorn stallion with blue eyes wearing a military outfit for high ranking guards, a pink coated and purple, magenta, and yellow maned/tailed alicorn mare with purple eyes wearing a dress that was mostly her mane/tail colors in a very nice fashion and wearing a small crown, and an odd one. The odd one had a black coat and short gray mane and tail with completely blue eyes, as in nothing but blue getting lighter towards the middle to act as a pupil, he was also wearing a plain dark green shirt and dark green pants, he also had insect like wings and a horn.
Now there are spark flying around me, I sighed and said, "Magic always got to not work now a days, don't mind the sparks they won't harm anything."
"Why exactly is that happening?" the odd one asked. I explained my slight problem of my magic not being used for so long, making my magic go haywire a lot. "Yikes," was his response to my predicament, he seems to have a slight buzz to his voice but it's barely noticeable.
My magic decided 'romance time' and now we are all at a dinner table with candles and everything on top of a tower. Fluttershy and Discord, the unicorn stallion and the alicorn mare, Applejack and Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Pinkie Pie, me and that odd stallion. I face palmed and sighed in annoyance before saying, "Discord, please undo all this and put us back in the throne room please."
Discord undid it all and put us back in the throne room with a snap of his eagle talon. I was really angry at my magic to do that of all things. The pink alicorn mare spoke up and asked, "So who is the new draconequus?"
I snapped out of my anger and said with a bow, "My name is Eris and I am the twin sister of Discord." The three unknowns introduced themselves, the pink alicorn is Princess Cadence but she prefers Cadence more, the unicorn stallion is Shining Armor and Cadence's husband, and the odd one is Thorax who is king of the changelings. Last I checked, which was over a thousand years ago, changelings did not look anything like Thorax except for the wings.
"So how come we haven't heard of you until now?" Shining asked with a tad of suspension. The Bearers and Discord flinched at him asking that.
But I giggled slightly at that before becoming blank and saying, "I was missing for the past thousand years and stuck inside the Alicorn Amulet. It should have been called the Draconequus Amulet in my point of view." The three used looks of pity at that statement and said they were sorry that it happened to me. My magic sparked red and another me, but a pony version, showed up on a stage before breaking in a song.

During the song she kept appearing next to everyone and said certain lines, like at the love and hate she showed up next to Thorax. She stopped doing it at the middle of the song and just started dancing until it ended. She winked at Thorax and after a poof of purple she and the stage was gone. I was pretty angry at my magic again, trust me you would if your magic never listened to you and did things that would embarrass you pretty badly.
"Eris, please calm down. Your eyes are glowing purple," Discord told me. I took deep breaths in and out, I calmed down enough that my eyes were no longer glowing. I looked at everyone in the room to see all of them slightly worried and I just noticed this weird feeling that I have every time I looked at Thorax for some reason, it's really annoying.
Cadence cleared her throat and said, "Well then. Would you like a tour of the castle Eris?" I nodded and the three along with the rest of the group showed me around the castle and told me rooms and their purposes. We once came across a dark door but no one would say anything about it except 'It's a forbidden room for a reason' which isn't helping my curiosity.
Next Chapter: Chapter 5: Recovery Party Estimated time remaining: 11 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
You now know one of the reasons why the alternate universe tag is here. Changelings are more pony like and can still shape shift in case you thought I made them boring. Changelings are the best!
Sorry if it's not that good but I hope you like this chapter.
