This is so OP...


Celestia's POV

Generals? What does he mean by that?

"What do you mean 'generals?" I asked, confused by what he was saying.

"You heard me, 'Generals', and one of them is the moving volcano you see in the Forest." He explained, I stared at him with wide eyes.

"This, thing? Is one of your generals?" I asked, I could not believe what he was telling me, a being like this 'general' that can easily make an earthquake of unimaginable magnitude is undoubtedly the strongest being in existence, and he have it as one of his generals? Wait..

"Generals? They're only seen in the military... Do you plan to betray us?" I ask now taking a fighting stance.

"Chill, no I do not, why would I do that? Moreover, if I wanted to overthrow you and your sister, then why would I even reveal to you that I have Generals now?" He said with a calm voice, it's true, but trickery is in the heart of every living being, I know one who is a master of it.

"Then, what do you plan with an army?" I asked.

"Celestia, I thought you knew." He said, I looked at him, confused by what he was trying to say.

"*sigh* Very well, I'll tell you." He said, he now looked at us with a stare that I only saw two times in his eyes, a stare that spoke of unimaginable knowledge.

"It is because war will soon come, don't misunderstand my speaking, when I say soon, I say probably, you ponies might not know besides the Alicorn, but every being, sentient and not sentient, have a tendency to battle with each other, for being with a life span of less than a hundred years might have a glimpse of this truth, but for us who lived for millenia’s, it is a fact, no matter the time, battle always threatened to rise, and it is especially true when it comes to wars." He explained with unrivaled wisness. He is right, war is always lurking, threatening to rise at any moment, even in the most peaceful of times.

"And that's why I have an army now, because I seriously don't want to give up my little heaven down there for some greedy being." He said with his usual tone.

"But! The last war that happened was a millenia ago! How can you be so sure that it will happen soon." Twilight exclaimed, I completely forgot she was here, I'm so sorry.

"Twilight, surely you of most ponies must know, that a millenia without a war is a miracle, and it's exactly why it will break soon enough, because as I said, battle always threaten to rise, I don't know if you should feel good or bad, why do I ask? Because I think you should feel good that your teacher and diarch managed to make peace for a millenia, and that you should feel bad that it's unfortunately your generation that will get a war, something no being should taste, it's nasty, nastier than sweetless cupcakes Pinkie Pie." He said in a teasing matter, he is bad, he makes dark jokes, Pinkie Pie gagged, maybe from the thought of sweetless cupcakes.

"Ok, come, let me introduce you to them." He said while walking in the forest, we followed him carefully, not because he was suspicious, because he is frightening to have a power that can control mountains.

After a while, we arrived just outside of the vale, and we found out that the moving mountain, was indeed a moving mountain, and that it acts like a turtle, with a mountain as a shell. This is getting ridiculous, a millenia ago, me and Luna were scared of this green monster that could shake the earth with just a roar and that had the strength of everypony in Equestria, but this, this rivals all of the dragon population's power, counting in the many generations that existed before.

"Jhon, you're a monster." I said bluntly to him, he just looked amused, I could sense it even through the rotting flesh hiding his emotions.

"I know, and I'm not just any kind of monster you know? I'm an Elder Dragon." He said sounding amused by what he said.

"What? Dude no way, you don't even look like a dragon!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, it's true, he doesn't look like any dragon I've seen.

"That's because I'm not, I'm an Elder Dragon." He replied, I giggled and everypony facehoofed at his logic, it's true that his body fits the title of 'Elder', maybe even surpassing it.

"Oh hey Amatsu." He said while waving at a shadow inside the Vale, when it came out, we were all shocked, it didn't look like anything I've seen, well, everything that is related to Jhon looks like anything at all, but this being in particular was otherworldly and it even is levitating!

"Hello Master, are these the ponies you were talking about?" It asked, I was shocked again by the politeness and gentleness behind it's voice, it was like I was looking at a perfect butler.

"Yes, yes they are, and she is my courting partner." Jhon said while pointing at me, I had a blush of such intensity that even strawberries would look shameful. 'What does he think he's saying?! I thought, and I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that because everypony froze.

"I'm joking, but I seriously don't know why you don't have a partner yet, personally, I prefer Fluttershy, maybe it's because of my animal side that it's like it." He explained to us, I was still blushing, how could I not after what he said out of the blue? 'Speaking of blue, where's Luna?

"Good evening Princess Celestia, I am Amatsumagatsuchi, the air force general of Master's army, I am pleased to meet you." The being said while doing a bow with what looks like it's left wing, now that I look at it, it has winds flowing around him, just like Jhon's miasma but more graciously. I was so taken aback by it's graciousness and politeness that I nearly fell down, but thanks to an abnormally strong wind supporting me, I didn't fell.

"Y-You control the wind?" I asked fearfully, if he is truly able to control the wind, then it's power is unimaginable, no magic can control wind with this precision and power, and now that I think about it, Jhon too is an anomaly, he can bring back the dead and cannot be killed with the strongest spell Luna learned, which could kill an Ursa Major in an instant, and this mountain that has the power to bring fear in the core of the planet itself. True monster indeed...

"Yes he can, we Elder Dragons have the power of natural disasters, it’s not surprising to see one of us control the earth or the wind, and for my case, well it's certainly not natural for the dead to be brought back in the living world." Jhon said while walking in the Vale, Ama-ts-er, whatever was his name followed him.

"Princess, are they allowed to exist in this world?" Twilight asked with her jaw dropped.

"Yeah! They're total monsters! Even worse than what we already have! And they don't even deny it!" RD exclaimed.

"I trust 'em, they didn't lie a single time after we met, so I trust 'em." AJ said while smiling.

"Um... I trust Jhon's judgement... He's always been kind to us so I trust him." Fluttershy said while blushing a little.

"Why wouldn't I trust him? His not a meany pants and he likes parties! *GASP* I didn't make him a party for nearly 2 month now!" Pinkie exclaim while hyperventilating in a bag.

"Well he certainly is a gentlecolt, he even made the filthy corpses clear our way the last time we entered his lair." Rarity said.

"He hasn't changed even after a millenia, and the him before that is the true monster of his mind, if he decided to become sentient is maybe because he didn't want to hurt the living beings anymore, it's certainly isn't a bad thing, because we all saw that when he is driven by instinct, he is a true monster." I finished and then started to follow Jhon inside his lair.
