Onyx slowly left the meeting hall with the Princess, looked at the shield containing Canterlot, and sighed in annoyance. The reason he was so annoyed was because the shield was generating small amounts of Godly magic. 'Does that mean Shining is an Alicorn potential as well?'
As Onyx stood on the walkway, and was surprised that he could see Twilight interacting with Shining. 'Was the meeting truly that short?'
Onyx watched what could only be the Chrysalis walk out of the shadows and noticed how the Filth in her body was not being destroyed and quickly activated his eyes to peer at her and was surprised that the Filth was primarily affecting her stomach. 'I see so them being Changelings is normal, but the emotive diet is completely different than what they are supposed to be.'
Onyx quickly determined that it would be too detrimental to their health to remove the Filth. Hence, the only way to get rid of the Filth was to finish the Emotive diet change. As he watched the canon continue as was expected, and observed Shining and Chrysalis separate. 'I am going to follow her maybe I can find Candance ahead of schedule.'
As Onyx watched Chrysalis walkthrough Canterlot looking at the various things, he could not help but compare her to a regular tourist. Just as he was starting to relax, he watched a couple of colts and fillies start playing around her before noticing something come flying towards them that would injure the young one before Chrysalis stopped it. 'Now isn't that interesting.'
Watching Chrysalis verbally attack the man who almost caused the accident was strange to Onyx. This did not really fit her before looking at the young around her. 'If I am remembering this right, should the Changelings be a hive of starving Beatles? Do the young ones around her affect her mind almost as if they were her hive mates?'
Onyx nodded his head and sighed because it looked like there was no way he was finding Candance before the ceremony started because it was looking like she was not going to visit her. 'Most likely, she sends one of her changelings down into the underground with food.'
As he stood up to leave, he slowly wormed his lips because he does not know what he should do. After all, the Changelings need emotions to survive. Still, at the same time, they are going to be attacking the Capital of Equestria. 'At the end of the day, the war between our two races is pretty much going to happen, and I know they could nibble, but Chrysalis has been fighting for survival for so long that she has given up on trying another way.'
---With Twilight---
Twilight watched as Cadence interacted with Applejack and took her food, and slowly gave her approval of the taste of the bite-size apple treat. Applejack quickly packed a small paper bag and offered it up for the Princess. "Here you go, my lady."
The Princess was surprised and held the bag up in surprise, which confused Twilight about the surprise showing on Cadence's face. Twilight thought to herself in annoyance. 'This is making no sense why is she reacting the way she is reacting. It is almost like she has been shown no kindness in ages, but Cadence is probably one of the most beloved ponies in Equestria.'
Cadence slowly carried the bag out the door leaving Twilight and them alone. When Cadence was out of sight, she took out another apple bite. She bit into it, which was surprisingly giving a small amount of emotion. "Did not know that Ponies could infuse emotion into food."
Twilight, who was spying, was extremely confused about Cadence's words and watched her walk off with the treat. Twilight slowly moved her away from her hiding spot and looked at the area that Cadence was before walking off. 'What on earth could she mean that Emotion was in the food?'
---Rarity's workshop---
Twilight slowly watched Rarity work while she thought about the interactions that she had seen so far and could not help but know that Cadence had changed a lot. When she had thought about talking to Rarity about it, she heard the door open, allowing Cadence entry into the workshop along with the bridesmaids. Twilight watched as Cadence made changes to the dresses and could not help but sigh because this was her wedding day. That was fine, but for her to ignore the opinion of the bridesmaids themselves was weird. 'Cadence would never ignore someone's opinion about something, what on earth is going on.'
"Rarity, was that weird to you in any way?" Twilight questioned her friend in confusion. "I mean, I have never been to a wedding. Was that normal?"
Rarity nodded her head because she had done a few wedding dresses. "That was probably the kindest consulting that I have ever had Twilight… I remember this one time a bride threw a massive gem at my head in anger."
Twilight blinked because that sounded honestly terrifying for Rarity. She spoke up in confusion because that did not sound like pony behavior. "That sounds extraordinary Rarity are Brides normally that angry."
Rarity nodded her head and thought about an excellent way to explain it because it sounded like Twilight was not getting it. "Brides get this day to make everything the way they want it to be done, Twilight. If this day is not perfect, then it is ruined for them. That wedding day is more for the bride than it is for anyone else. Twilight at the end of that day it is for them."
"Every bride is a princess on their wedding day." Rarity explained while looking at the sky. "On that one day, not even Princess Celestia is a higher rank than they are."
Twilight nodded and understood that brides needed everything to be perfect to them.
---With Onyx---
Onyx slowly walked to one of the rune headquarters and thought about what made the changelings so different and realized that they must have destroyed themselves. 'How on earth did they survive if their entire race needs emotions.'
Onyx sighed when he felt something poke him magically and nodded his head and entered a private workshop. 'Alright… Alright, we will get you out so you can pick your weapon of choice, and I can carry it around.'
When Onyx casted the spilt spell, he felt half of his magic disappear out of his body and watched the second version of him appear and could tell that it was not him. "Welcome back to the land of the living."
The second Onyx looked at the person who had taken his body. "My name is Asmund. I do not want you calling me Onyx."
Onyx blinked because that was one of the first rune artist's work. He had seen and smiled at the now named Asmund. "Very well, Asmund, welcome back all the same, and I truly wish to apologize for stealing your body."
"You did not steal my body Onyx, you were my previous life, and the imperfect resurrection put you in control at a random point." Asmund looked at the sky and sighed in annoyance. "Show me the weapons the less time I have to pick out a good spear, the longer I have to work the runes on it."
Onyx nodded and pulled out the various spears and laid them out, and Asmund quickly picked out a Boar spear and sighed. "This is the best you can do for right now, but I am not blaming you because this was really not the best of time for this."
Onyx nodded and watched and prepared the ingredients so Asmund could make his runes work on the Spear. "I will make the metal you just get ready to lay the runes down… alright?"
Asmund nods his head and slowly prepared everything. He could not help but remember the memories he had seen. "So, what happens after season three when we can no longer predict the future Onyx?"
Onyx sighed because he had no idea what happened after season three, he saw Tirek appear, but that was only through fanfiction and break out of the underworld, but he literally had no idea what happened after that or before that until Twilight ascends. "We live just like every other pony, my friend."
Asmund could not help but sigh at Onyx's words because that was as close to a truth as they could get. "You are a dimensional traveler that saw a version of our world. Are you sure there is nothing you remember?"
Onyx shook his head and sighed while looking at the melted metal and the like, Asmund watched and sighed. "Do you have at least have a plan for our ascension because I am not dying a second time? You understand that, Onyx."
"I have the makings of a plan, Asmund, and that is the best I can do." Onyx spoke while handing the materials to Asmund and watched as he quickly put together the Spear that he would be using. "I wonder why I cannot talk to you inside my soul and the like."
"Because we are not a full alicorn yet, only a potential one." Asmund sighed and slowly ran his finger with the molten metal and carved out the runes. "I just realized that if I did this when I was younger, we would get a severe injury, the Runes have changed our body so much that we can do this."
Onyx could not help but sigh because he noticed that his body was getting harder and harder, almost granite-like, and realized that he should have been much more careful with the runes he was making. "The Runes from the dwarfs are affecting much higher than I expected."
Asmund nodded his head because that was entirely true and at the same time out of their expatiations. He could not help but wonder how this would affect them mentally. "Do you think we will fall further and further into it?"
"I have no idea," Onyx admitted and while watching Asmund apply the Runes to his Spear. "Do you want me to change the spear at all when we return home?"
Asmund snorts at Onyx because that is just like his opposite even though he knows it will make him stronger, Onyx does not care about that all. "You know what… just get me a higher-grade spear and recast the spell and let me back out, you know."
Onyx nodded his head because that was fair. After all, he would not want any of his stuff to be messed with by anyone else besides himself, and he would not rune himself. "Understood, I promise that I will release you back home to complete your spear."
Asmund looked at Onyx's back and could not help but sigh because even if they both want control of the body, they really do not hate each other, and from what it looks like, none of the nightmares do. Asmund thought about informing Onyx about the fact nightmares could communicate with each other but decided against it.
---Ethereal Realm---
Harmony looked at the fact that the outside and inside versions worked together to make some weapons together and speak with each other. 'How on earth did you get the idea to let your inner self out…. honestly, this is crazy.'
Discord danced in a circle because this was genuinely chaotic, a complete messing with the world that was beyond anything he expected. 'This is an awesome spell Harmony. It completely breaks the laws that we set up for the world.'
Harmony looked at the hyper Discord because this was giving him a chaotic high that was supercharged. 'Are you going to be alright, Discord?'
Discord nodded, already starting to calm back down or maybe reaching an equilibrium. 'Almost there… slowly getting back under control.'
Harmony nodded before looking at the mechanics for the spell and could not help but admit that it was a truly genius spell. 'I wonder where he got the idea to change to get the split spell changed like that.'
Discord giggle finally back to normal and looked at the Changelings. 'I wonder how we can help them get better honestly because as far as I can tell. We can get rid of the touch of the Filth, but we cannot get rid of the emotion diet.'
