Ponyville looks so small from here, and looking slightly above it, you could see the Everfree Forest in its entirety. >You wonder how ponies have managed to keep such a large chaotic forest in check. >Maybe Twilight could tell you sometime. >Taking in more of the view around you, the land begins to look a bit... condensed compared to your world, with the deserts and jungles lacking thousandths of the size you walked through. >Perhaps this world is not as vast? >It puzzles you to think that such a small world could prosper. >Is their populace effected by it? >You could probably expand your body and crush the entire land under your weight. >Or perhaps create more pathogens and wipe the land clean. >Nah, that would be a waste. >Maybe if you covered the land in fire? >Burnt meat never tastes good. >Maybe if you... >You're thinking doesn't make sense. >You can't do any of the suggested, so why think of it? >It isn't really necessary, is it? >Perhaps this is another side-effect of the potion? >You'll think on it later. >Celestia notices your curious gaze and lightly pats you on the head, getting your attention away from your mind. "Beautiful, isn't it? Tell me Anonymous, how has your stay been in Equestria?" >Your stay in Equestria? >Hmm... you've met Discord, your mom, a Pinkie Pie, honesty Applejack, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Fluttershy, Zecora, Elune, and the questionable Slime. >Oh and Spike. >And all of them have acted on good will. >Well... except maybe the Tiara one. >Maybe she's still trying to control her emotions like you? >And even that, you've gained an unnatural use of emotions you didn't even know you had. >You thought it died the day you were born. >And ever since you've made it here, everything has gone for the better by the looks of it. >And you've finally gotten a hold of this tiny body's physic and adapted to it's strength. >With the overall young and healthy body instead of the malnourished scar-covered bone of your former self, you've come to great terms with this new body. >A renewal of yourself. >And it all feels... >Wonderful. >These words keep showing up on request yet you only have a vague idea of what they mean. >Maybe it goes on a scale of sorts, or depends on your bodies condition? >If only Twilight was OK. >Discord said she had the answers, but now... >Guess you'll just have to wait for her to recover. >Given her previous condition, the estimated time would be at least three days, five if anything on her body worsens. >You won't let that happen again. "I've met ponies and became their friend. Though the concept of friendship is still loose to me, I think I am starting to understand how it works." >"And what are the names of these fine ponies?" Celestia had a nice grin on her face, making the calming aura all the more comforting. "Well, the most recent friends I have made are from the Everfree forest." >"The Everfree forest?" This time, Luna's curiosity got the better of her. "Oh do tell, Anonymous! What kind of friends have you made there?" in fact, she was oddly ecstatic from the mention of the forest. "Currently, both Elune and the Slime are staying in the castle back at home with Spike." >Now both of them were sitting eagerly for your explanation. >You swear if it wasn't for the radiating stature, you'd see them as no different than the curious ponies on the streets. "Elune is an abnormally excited filly that likes to talk. The Slime can talk somewhat and kind of acts like a pony, but I still question if the creature is sentient." >"Hmm... I lack the proper experience to determine if your Slime friend would be able to communicate properly, but it might be the case given time." Luna ponders on the thought of Slime communication before Celestia adds her two-cents. >"If my memory serves, Discord had such a friend. The Smooze if I recall?" Celestia looks up and the both of you follow her gaze to Discord, who is currently cycling through various amounts of catastrophes. >"What do you think Celestia? Cotton candy avalanche? Oh! Or maybe chocolate fudge volcanoes?" Discord dips his claw into the giant clump of chocolate candy and waves the mass around like a lightweight bowling ball. >Celestia looks at the mass in amusement. "Discord, as much as I would love a chocolate volcano, I don't think we can allow 'that' much chaos." >"Ah, but my dear Princess Celestia, how can we have chaos without a little risk? And I'd prefer it if the answer isn't along the lines of 'Oh Discord, too much chaos is bad~'" Huh, he does a good Celestia impression. >But isn't he contradicting himself from earlier? >Maybe it only applied to you? >Celestia's face goes from a smirk to that of slight irritation. "First of all, I don't sound like that, and second, too much chaos 'is' bad. For every pony." Discord puts his hands on his... oh. That's where his hips are. >And teleports in front of Celestia for a confrontation of sorts. >But in doing so, he drops the colossal ball of chocolate. >"Celestia, if you can't get that royal head of yours out of the past, 'someone's gonna have to give it a push" Hmm... this doesn't seem good, they're completely ignoring the ball heading straight towards the city. >Both you and Luna watch as the events unfold before taking evasive action. >"Well I think my head is fine where it is Discord. It just seems that yours still has a screw loose~." You tear a hole through the bubble and jump through it with Luna following close behind. >"I have a screw loose!? Says the boring princess who does nothing but sits in her castle all day!" You extend your limbs and expand them to inhuman dimensions, creating a sort of hoop to catch it, but it only rolls off of it, gaining air as it descends upon the city. >"At least I don't harass my subjects with mindless tasks." Luna swoops below the ball and shoots a sort of beam at it, causing it to lose momentum, but not enough as it continues towards the city. >"At least 'I' don't bore my subjects to death with 'duties and protocol's~" The ball flies straight for a statue in the middle of the city as bystanders look at the ball in horror. >The two of them pause there conversation for a few seconds. >Maybe they see the ball? >... Are they laughing? >You instinctively clasp your hooves together to think of something relevant. >And in doing so, the entire ball disappears. >Huh... you could get used to this new power... >Maybe Discord knew you'd be able to take care of it? >Looking at Luna, she gives you a look of confusion before staring in utter shock at... something. >Something above yo-...? >Everything has gone black. >You just teleported it on top of you. >You really need to get used to this new power. >After a few moments, you feel a slight change and what feels like a swaying movement. >You can only assume you're now rolling down the mountain. >Exerting some energy onto yourself, you sprout mouths from all sides of you and begin to make a space around you. >You take a few chomps out of the area... and... nngh... too sweet... FUCK WHY IS THIS SO SWEET!? >You quickly extend tentacles and latch onto the corners of the little room you've made before coughing up the chocolate. >You don't want to eat anymore sweets. >Or maybe it's the constantly swirling motion that's making you want to spit it all out. >You really want this horrid feeling in your stomach to end. >You try to think of the most safest way to stop, but can't focus due to the feeling. >You... can't... >You clasp your hooves onto your face to prevent any unnecessary convulsions, but in doing so, a flash covers your eyes as the jolt of chaotic energy reenters your body. >The weird surge throughout your body causes you to uncontrollably pulsate and vibrate, ending in a flash of light and what sounds like an explosion around you. >Is that a good thing? >Opening your eyes, you look around at your surroundings, which are now covered in hot chocolate and fudge. >Ponies, buildings, the statue from before, and in addition, the two princesses and Discord, who lapped up the chocolate in glee. "Hahaha! Great work Ano-..." >... "... What is it Discord?" >"... Did... you... always have wings?" >Wings? >Looking at your back, you 'indeed' have wings on your back, which are currently flapping carelessly. >Huh... you have wings... >Why do you have wings? >... >Answe?r me.? ~You sent power into your body, U?nst?ab?l?e ?e?n?e?rgi?e?s? ?w?h?i?c?h can?n?o?t ?hol?d ?y?o?u?r? b?o?d?y t?og?e?th?er?~ >So my body grew unstable and lost hold of my previous form? ~T?h?i?n?k ?o?f? a? ?f?ut?ur?e, you will return in time~ >Hmm... temporary transformation, except uncontrollable. >As long as you can return back to normal, there should be no problems. >"Nnngh... Discord? A little help?" Looking down at the Princesses, Luna was struggling to get out of the now hardening cocoon of chocolate fudge, while Celestia was stuck in a fit of laughter. >With a swift snap, Discord makes all the chocolate disappear, freeing the area of it's sweet prison. >You lower yourself down to eye-level with the princesses, catching their attention. >"Hmhmhm Oh Anon~, I'm glad you're... you're a Pegasus?" Celestia was sure she saw you as a normal earth pony, she was caught a bit off guard as well as Luna. "Apparently it's a temporary mutation due to my misuse of chaos magic, but don't worry, I'll return to normal eventually." >Discord teleports and hugs you from behind without warning. "Haha! Always full of surprises, just like your old man!" >Looking up from your current predicament, you can't help but feel... happy for Discord. >And you're starting to get used to these hugs. >The Princesses seem to agree with Discord's behavior as well, giggling at Discord's antics before he lets go of you and allowing you to return to the air. >"I never took you for the loving type, Discord." Luna's smug makes Discord blush. >"Er-I well-oh be quiet you." Discord crosses his arms and slithers his tongue, eliciting more giggling from the princesses. >This warm calm feeling... you can't help but smile at the whole thing. >Even though some of the other ponies around look on in either disgust or pleasure at the warm moment, a few share the same dumb smile you have. >That is until... >"Princess Celestia!? Princess Luna!? D-D-DISCORD!?" A light purple unicorn with a purple and aquamarine-striped mane comes running up to the four of you. >Both Princess Celestia and Luna perk up and look her way, with clear joy in their eyes. "Ah, Starlight Glimmer! What a wonderful surprise." >"Tell us, what brings you here to Canterlot on such short notice?" Luna's question catches Starlight off guard. >"Oh well I um... had... a... spell to work on! Yes! A spell, and the research notes were here in the library, so I just cast a bit of teleportation and well... here I am! Hehe..." Jeez, she's beat red and sweating profusely. >If you didn't know any better, the spell she cast made her run a marathon and a half. >Either that or she's very nervous around others. >While Discord continues to pout and ignore the two, you decide to get a feel for your wings. >Controlling the frequency, adjusting the wingspan, and the use of force, you fly up high and plummet to the ground before going back up again until eventually you're back to a hover. >Huh, you've never felt so... free..... >You've grown wings before on the other world, but never as agile and light as these. >They just felt so much more... right? >More natural-born than anything. >Adjusting your body to add to your momentum, you hover over to Celestia and Luna and land on Celestia's head with a light pat. >Celestia shudders from the new touch, but slowly adjusts to your weight and smiles gleefully. >While on the other hand, Starlight is trying her hardest not to explode in a cringe-induced panic. "And who is... that? If you don't mind me ask of course... Your excellency!" >Mmmmm.... her mane is surprisingly soft, and the long flowing strands of hair tickle your body. >This feels so nice... >"Hmhmhm, well aren't you something? This is Anon Starlight, Twilight's son." Celestia couldn't help but find this whole situation adorable, struggling to contain herself. >All the while Starlight was the complete opposite. "TWILIGHT'S SON!?" >Nngh... too loud... >"B-b-b-but how!? And why!? Who's the lucky stallion? Why didn't she tell me!? Wait... if I was sent on a vacation two weeks ago, and I'm getting introduced to her son now..." Starlight has a very skeptical look on her face as she contemplates how in the world Twilight found a stallion, got married, and had a colt in a span of two weeks. >Maybe you should help with the explanation. >You really don't want a misunderstanding. "I am Twilight's adopted son. My father is Discord." >Pointing at the moping draconequus, she only double-takes. >"Discord!? Has... a son?" She's having the toughest time of her life processing this. "Wait... so Twilight adopted you while I was away... Discord brought you here to... meet the princesses... anything else?" "Well, I can use chaotic powers." >"I expected that coming from the son of Discord and all, but when exactly did this happen? And for what purpose? Discord could easily raise you on his own... couldn't he?" This catches Discord's attention very quickly, causing him to teleport instantaneously to her. >"Ah, well my little pony, you haven't seen my son's... other special talent. Anon if you would?" "But I'd be breaking Twilight's rules." >Discord reflexively cringes. "Oh of course she did... well as your father, I out-rule her! Got it?" Hmm... he can do that? >You're not sure if you should listen to him. >Well... maybe for just this once. >Focusing a little, a few tentacles protrude from out of your body, with a few waving at Starlight as commanded, but a few others still growing in length. >One of them in particular begins to snake around Celestia's neck before suction cupping the position securely and then waving gingerly at the now wide-eyed Starlight Glimmer. >A few others continue their growth down all the way to her belly and back, wrapping themselves around her entire body width. >Celestia and help but recoil and wriggle at the movement around her body, making her give off a slight blush. >"Er... Anon? Don't you think that's a bit much for a simple wave?" Discord's smirk doesn't really match his tone here, which confuses you. "Mmm... perhaps I gave it too loose a command?" Before they can continue their advances, you will them back into your body, leaving only the one around her neck, given its the closest one to Starlight. >Of which is currently blushing just as much as Celestia and Luna can't help but looked concern. "Dear sister, are you a-alright?" >"I'm fine Luna, no need to worry~." Celestia lifted her wing and put her head to the side, causing the wing to fluff and fwap your head. >Nngh... too fluffy... >You swipe around at the fluffy feathers, but lose your balance in the process, causing you to fall to the side of her face with the only thing keeping you in place being the tentacle's grip. >She quickly nuzzles your face and you can't help but blush yourself. "Hmhmhm, thought you got the best of me, didn't you?" "I have nngh... no idea what your talking about... Celestia." >"Really now?" Celestia giggles at your adorableness, but you don't want any of this. >So you fwap her in the face with your wings in retaliation. >Your face reacts with a scrunched look as Celestia bursts out in full on laughter. >Nnrrgh... what is this feeling? >It's like you want to kill her... but not at the same time. >It feels so... weird... >Yet you don't mind this feeling. >It doesn't hurt in any sort of way. >Maybe this is how Celestia has fun? >It's certainly a contrast to Discord's random nature, since this is more a child having fun with a slightly older sibling of sorts. >At least that's as far as you can interpret these feelings. >But you overall don't mind. >Unlike the latter around you. >Discord looks like he was the one inside the chocolate sphere, Luna is currently watching her sister in awe, and Starlight is doing the best she can to not ruin the mood. >"Hehehe... the great ruler of Equestria... giggling and playing like a little filly..." She honestly didn't know what to say. >"Well, Celestia was always in her best moods when a young foal was involved." The two of them look on as the both you and Celestia try to fwap each other with feathers. >Of which you have the prime advantage of being just inches away from her face. >Of course she gets a few fwaps in, but your frontal assault is unchallenged, with the both of your scrunched faces taking fwapping after fwapping. >That is until finally, Discord intervenes by teleporting you into his grasp. "I think that's enough rivalry for today, and as much as I would love to keep watching, there's some amazing chaos to be ha-" you fwap his face with your wing, your face still scrunched and ready. >Discord scrunched himself, but quickly shakes his head of any thoughts and smiles at your battle-ready stance. >"Oh you have no idea know what you've just done Anon." "I have asserted my dominance over you." >"Good guess, but not quite." Discord chuckles to himself before you and the rest of your group are teleported back into the Castle.
