>Day The Wizard of Ponyville Chapter 8 in Equestira.
>You stand in front of Twilight’s house, waiting for the purple princess.
>There was a time when you could have stopped all of this.
>Twilight offered you a way out.
>All you had to do was give up magic.
>Would you agree if she made the same offer?
>To live in peace.
>You shake your head.
>Things have gone too far for that.
>You have to see this to the end.
>The air is clean and fresh.
>Everything is so different from Tartarus.
>The guard you threw is stirring.
>He places two hooves on his head to stop the spinning.
>After a moment he looks up.
>His eyes open wide as he recognizes you.
>Maybe he thought it was a bad dream.
>His eyes dart toward his spear, and then back to you.
“Don’t,” is all you say through clenched teeth.
>Realizing that he doesn’t have a chance, he scoots over to his left into some shade.
>You almost feel sorry for him.
>He never signed up to face a magic wielding hairless ape.
>After a few more wiggling movements he stops.
>Then he lays his head back down, still facing you so as to keep a good view.
>You ignore him and return to facing Princess Twilight’s house.
>What is taking the grey Pegasus so long?
>He should have only taken a minute or two to find Twilight.
>And then you have your answer.
>A wisp of green magic escapes from an open window.
>Shit.
>Twilight probably warned the princess.
>You assumed that she would keep this quiet.
>Surely she doesn’t want Celestia to know about her failure.
>Unless of course, she lied.
>A second wisp of green magic.
>You don’t bother trying to guess where that one went.
>Most likely both are letters asking for help.
>You take this time to adjust Trixie’s hat again.
>Showmanship is part of any wizard’s arsenal.
>”How did you escape?” A voice asks from the balcony.
1/12
>Twilight steps out wearing her regalia.
>The golden crown with the element of magic embedded in it sits atop her head.
>A gilded purple cloak billows as she takes another step.
“It’s good to see you too, Princess,” you say with venom in the last word.
>One of her eyes twitch.
>”You didn’t answer my question.”
>Again you ignore her.
“Where’s Trixie?”
>”I don’t answer to traitors or liars.”
”Traitor? I never swore any oaths to you.”
>”But you did lie,” she accuses.
”Are you still upset about that? I’m willing to let bygones be bygones. Just give me the girl, and you’ll never see us again.”
>”I should have killed you when I had the chance.”
“But you thought Tartarus would be more fitting. I thought Princesses never make mistakes.”
>”You were supposed to lose your powers!”
>You nod slowly in agreement.
“Yeah. Turns out there is no such thing as virgin magic. Where’s Trixie?!”
>”She safe, unlike you.”
>Twilight leaps from the balcony and slows herself with her wings just before she lands.
>Your arms shoot out on their own to your sides, spreading your cloak open.
>Both hands flick to form fire and barrier respectively.
>Twilight just smiles at this.
>”You’ve gotten better. Last time you could barely use your hands together, and now they can form magic independently.”
“I had a good teacher.”
>Twilight presses her lips together, and looks away as she thinks.
>”Tirek?”
>That’s Scorpan’s supposedly evil brother.
>You never had a chance to meet him, so you can’t be sure.
>Maybe he was just as evil as you are, which is to say, not at all.
>You doubt Scorpan wants ponies to know that he can travel to and from Tartarus.
“It doesn’t really matter does it?”
>Twilight shakes her head.
>”It does. When I’m finished with you, then I’ll go after him too.”
2/12
>It's not nice of her to threaten your friends.
“I guess you’re going to have to force it out of me.”
>”Yeah.”
“One more thing…”
>”Hmm?”
“Who did you message just now?”
>Twilight shifts her weight as she decided whether or not to tell you.
>She'll probably just lie to you.
>You have to beat her quickly before help arrives.
>”You’ll see soon enough,” she smirks.
>She flies above you, her horn charged, and forelimbs spread.
>Her left hoof forms a double barrier.
>The right makes the motion for light.
>”I felt sorry for you when I beat you last time.”
“Felt sorry for me?” You let your head roll to the side to exaggerate curiosity. “You should ask me if I’ll feel the same.”
>She raises an eyebrow, weighing your veiled threat.
>”I seriously doubt you'll win.”
>You grit your teeth at her.
“Let’s find out.”
>A hand flies forward and fire springs forth.
>Her eyes open wide as if she wasn’t expecting you to make the first move.
>She tries to dodge but the flames reach her too quickly.
>Her double barrier shimmers as it absorbs the attack.
>The force pushes her back in the air, and you jerk a wrist for lightning.
>Twilight flicks her right hoof and deflects the twisted strands.
>Not wasting any time she extends a hoof to respond with light.
>You leap to avoid her attack, and levitate yourself to meet her.
>The princess anticipates this and the beam follows you.  
>Your hexagonal shielding wavers as it takes the energy.
>Twilight dashes forward, twisting in the air to kick you and you drop the barrier to block with your arms.
>You see a smirk as she keeps rolling and lightning bolts erupt from her right hoof.
>Thunder cracks and pain shoots through your body.
>You get a good view of the clouds as you fall backward.
3/12
>Somehow your left hand remembers to do its part and it double cancels the attack.
>Still it comes too late and you crash on the ground.
>Without thinking you roll to the left and you hear hooves slam into the cobblestones beside you.
>You throw a leg out to trip her, but Twilight jumps over it.
>Using the momentum you get to your feet just as ice narrowly misses your head.
>With both hands you bring up another double barrier which absorbs the next blast.
>You pass it to your left and throw her back with your energy.
>Twilight tumbles in the air, but catches herself about ten paces away from you.
>She gently lands, still facing you.
“You tricked me,” you say through bared teeth.
>”Awww, Tirek didn’t teach you about feints?” She asks as she makes a crying motion. “So sad.”
>You look around.
>A few brave ponies have poked their heads out of open windows and doors to see the fight.
>The white Pegasus guard remains motionless, but you can tell that he is waiting for his moment to strike.
>You don’t know where the grey Pegasus is, but you assume he is also watching.
>”Give up, Anon,” Twilight says with an air of superiority.
>She shouldn’t have been able to trick you like that.
>You should have seen through it!
>What would Trixie do?
>>”That’s why we wear protection, Anon,” you remember her saying.
>But a cloak doesn’t help when you’re blocking a physical attack.
>>”Your technique is terrible,” Scorpan chastised you when you showed him what you knew.
>You should have grabbed the fabric to cover yourself as you defended.
>Or maybe held the barrier and only blocked with one arm.
>Your cloak is ragged.
>Burn marks line the fist sized holes.
>It helped during your escape, but you doubt it will last much longer.
>Even your suit is struggling to maintain its shape.
>A few strands of thread is all the keeps your sleeves in place.
4/12
>You look up at the princess.
>She stands tall, waiting for your next move.
>You won’t fall for her trick again.
>”We could have been happy together, Anon,” Twilight reminds you.
>Your back makes a few cracking sounds as you roll your shoulders back to get into the correct stance.
“But, isn’t this more interesting?”
>Twilight’s brow furrows as she considers your question.
>After a moment she offers you the slightest smile.
>”Yes.”
>You reform your barrier and hold your right hand at the ready.
“Good.”
>Your hand casts fire and Twilight blinks away.
>She appeared behind you last time, so you leap into the air.
>Lightning sears the air below you.
>As you twist around you double cancel her attack.
>Twilight swings her hoof twice, fruitlessly trying to shock you.
>With both arms you shoot out an inferno.
>You smell burning as her cape desperately tries to stop the attack.
>You hear a blinking sound, and the fire burns the ground.
>This time she doesn’t appear behind you.
>She is standing on her balcony, summoning a red cage.
>Her face scrunches as she forms the magic bars with her horn.
>Your fingers snap out a thin beam of energy, but she deflects it away.
>You hear a groaning sound and you know the cage is complete.
>Fuck.
>You can’t let her touch you with it.
>Unlike other forms of magic, red cages are themselves cancels.
>They were designed to teach evil unicorns their place.
>You’ve only seen them twice, and for good reason.
>Only the most powerful unicorns can form them.
>”Not so confident now, Anon,” Twilight taunts.
>Last time she used a blue cage on Trixie.
>Your teacher was at the bottom of top tier magic users.
>Unlike her, Twilight must see you as truly dangerous.
>Maybe even… an equal…
“This changes nothing.”
>Twilight takes a deep breath.
>”We’ll see…”
5/12
>Twilight jumps forward, her hoof primed with light.
>The red cage sails to your right, matching Twilight’s speed.
>It can’t touch you!
>You twist both arms in place and blink away.
>You dry heave twice, trying to ignore the effects of teleportation.
>Below you, a flash of light, then you hear the magic bars slam into the ground.
>Cobblestones crack at the impact.
>The cage sizzles as it absorbs the princess’s wasted attack.
>Half a second later, she realizes you're gone, and she instinctively throws the cage behind her to scoop you up.
>Before she notices you flying above her, you form a fist and knock her back.
>She motions to cancel, but hits the ground before she can stop you.
>Your other hand flicks to the left, and you snatch the cage from her magic grip.
>Twilight’s eyes open wide.
>Now you are the pursuer.
>You fly forward dragging the cage behind you.
>Twilight shoots ice and you swerve midair to dodge it.
>You throw an arc of fire at her from the right, and swing the cage around the opposite.
>She times a cancel perfectly and jumps toward the attack.
>You try to pull the crimson back to scoop her from behind, but you’re too late.
>It harmlessly falls behind her.
>Again you yank your arm to move it.
>Twilight motions and you feel her energy adding to yours.
>She unbalances your magic and all you can do to dodge the uncontrolled cage is to drop yourself.
>It sails over you.
>Not wanting to waste the initiative Twilight drops the cage and bursts the ground below you.
>You spin twice in the air, head over heels.
>Your ears ring, but there is no time to waste.
>Hands move on their own to engulf everything around you in flames.
>In her haste Twilight brings up a single barrier.
>A single barrier!
>As you land you throw both hands out.
>With all your strength you force out two blazing streams.
6/12
>Twilight’s shield makes a horrifying sizzling sound as it desperately tries to absorb the magic.
>You see the hexagonal grid shudder just before it shatters.
>The fire forces its way through and you can smell burning fabric.
>”Aaaahhhh!!!” Twilight screams.
>To your right your battle moon springs to life.
>You jerk your head and a spear dematerializes, only inches from your chest.
>The white Pegasus!
>He doesn’t have time to react before your magic throws him in a convulsing fit.
>A white unicorn with an absurd hairstyle cancels the attack.
>You’ve seen her before…
>The town tailor…
>Beside her are four other ponies.
>A blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane.
>Another one with a yellow coat tries to hide behind her pink hair.
>The other two you know.
>Pinkie and Applejack.
>Fuck!
>The elements.
>That’s who she -
>Two hooves kick you, and as you fall back the red cage flies toward you.
>With both hands you slow it.
>Twilight takes another step forward.
>”You’ll pay for what you did to me!” Twilight yells.
>”We don’t take kindly to rapists,” Applejack says as she stands over you.
>That’s what she told them!
>And she said you were a liar!
>Applejack moves to stomp you.
>One hand holds the cage back, the other gives Applejack the shock of her life.
>She rolls on the ground.
"Aagh!"
>Rarity zaps you with-
>You don’t know.
>But it’s enough to make you drop your magic, and only instinct lets you narrowly escape the crimson.
>The blue Pegasus charges at you, but you deflect her into the cage.
>Both tumble beside you.
>”Don’t hurt my friends!” Twilight shouts.
>You fling fire in all directions and the yellow and pink ones do all they can to avoid being burnt.
“Too scared to face me alone!?”
7/12
>Twilight flicks the bars to release the rainbow pony.
>Another burst of lightning stuns the princess and you throw her with your magic.
>She slams into the blue one and drops into the now open enclosure.
>A muted twist later and she is sealed behind the bars.
>”No!!!”
>She throws herself against the prison but it’s no use.
>You hold both hands outstretched and the other ponies take a step back.
"Who's next?!"
>The town fountain explodes.
>Now what!?
>When the dust clears you see four guard ponies.
>The fifth is different.
>His coat is white, and his blond mane billows in the wind.
>He wears a shining cuirass under a gilded purple cloak.
>Unlike his armor it does not bear his cutie mark.
>In its place is a wilted white flower.
>No.
>It couldn’t be.
>He practices black chineighs magic.
>The darkest kind.
>”Kill him! Kill him!” Twilight yells.
>The unicorns spread out to cover you on either side.
“I have your princess! I just want Trixie!”
>You rattle Twilight’s red cage beside you, and she bounces around.
>”Princess!” One of the guards yell.
“Give me the girl and I’ll leave!”
>”Kill him!” Twilight repeats.
“Shut up!”
>You shoot electricity through the bars and Twilight convulses.
>”Aaagh!”
>”You heard her! Kill him!” A guard shouts.
>Both hands flick to form fire and lightning respectively.
>You stand ready for them.
>”No!” Their leader shouts.
>One of the guards look at him with his mouth agape.
>”B- But Prince Blueblood…”
>He waves a hoof and the unicorn stops his protests.
>”Give you who?” He asks feigning indifference.
”Trixie! Twilight took her from me.”
>”Don’t listen to him! He’s a liar! He raped me!”
>One of the guards steps forward, shaking as he does everything in his power to stop himself from attacking you.
>”We have to save her!”
8/12
>”Princess Celestia ordered us to stop this monkey, and here he is… stopped…”
>As if on command both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna descend behind him.
>There’s no way you can stop all of them.
>But you have to stay strong.
>It’s the only way to get your teacher back!
>”You can still stop this, Anon,” Celestia says through clenched teeth.
>You redouble your magic so you can barely control the inferno.
“Where’s Trixie!?”
>”Don’t listen to him!” Twilight pleads again.
>”She’s here! She’s here!” A voice calls from your right.
>The grey Pegasus guard pushes out a blue cage holding Trixie.
>You spared his life twice.
>Maybe he saw this as a chance to repay that debt.
>”Let me go!”
“Trixie!”
>Her eyes meet yours.
>”Anon!”
>She fruitlessly tries to break the bars.
>Princess Celestia’s horn glows and magics your teacher beside her.
>”No! They’re both liars!” Twilight cries out.
>Her eyes are red and she is trying to keep from crying.
>Celestia shakes the cage and Trixie is let out gently.
>”You never said you took a prisoner…” Luna says to Twilight.
>”The’re both evil! I had to protect Ponyville!”
>”No. Twilight loved Anon.” Trixie interjects.
>”Nooo!” Twilight weeps.
>”He learned magic to stop her."
>Trixie's eyes plead with the princess to believe her.
>Twilight tries to dispute the claim, but it’s hard to understand her between sobs.
“I had to protect myself. When Twilight found out I knew magic, she saw it as her chance, and she raped me.”
>Celestia and Luna look at each other.
“She sent me to Tartarus without even a trial. Is that Equestrian justice!?”
>This time Twilight manages to squeak out a few words.
>”He learned magic. Only unicorns c-can do that.”
>Celestia furrows her brow.
>”That hasn’t been enforced for…” she searches for the answer. “Three hundred years?”
>Luna offers only a shrug.
9/12
>She was only recently released from banishment.
>”B-but it’s the law…”
“I just wanted to live in peace…”
>Celestia ignores you.
>”Twilight, you never said any of this in your letters.”
>”I-I meant too…” she says weakly.
>”And the rest? Is any of that true!?”
>Twilight doesn’t answer the princess.
”We both thought that taking my virginity would stop my magic. She said it would be a fitting punishment.”
>Prince Blueblood smiles, clearly imagining it.
>”It’s true, princess,” the grey Pegasus says. “I heard it all while I was guarding the door.”
>Celestia frowns.
>She shifts her weight uncomfortably.
>Her eyes dart between yours and the others as she tries to make out fact from fiction.
>”Twilight wanted us to kill the monkey the moment we landed… It would be an easy way to silence him…” Blueblood offers.
>You lower your magic.
>At this point it’s better to not look like a threat.
>You can feel your heart thumping.
>With a single word, Princess Celestia could have this all swept under the rug.
>But with the royal guard in town, some of the locals come out of hiding.
>”Is it true, Twilight? Did you lie to us?” Applejack asks her friend.
>Twilight looks away.
>Celestia shakes her head.
>”You were supposed to be my protégé…”
>”I’m sorry…” Twilight says just over a whisper.
>And with that you know you’ve won.
>With all these eyes and ears Celestia can’t make this disappear.
>She has to deal with her student.
>”Blueblood?”
>He takes a step forward.
>”Yes, Auntie?”
>She presses her lips together.
>”Take her away…” Celestia says with sadness in her voice.
>Blueblood motions for a guard to help him.
>Another unicorn stands at the opposite end of the red cage, and all three blink away.
>Celestia picks up the element of magic.
>She weighs it in her hoof.
>You know what she is thinking.
>Who can bear this burden now…
10/12
>”I’m sorry about what happened, Anon. I’ll make sure you are taken care of for your trouble.”
>Luna nudges her sister.
>Her head cocks slightly toward you, urging Celestia to do it.
>You have to strain your ears to hear.
>”He isn’t ready.”
>You heard that before.
>>”Do you think I’m ready?” You asked Scorpan before you escaped from Tartarus.
>>He frowned at you and said, “No.”
>But you proved him wrong.
>”He can learn…”
>Celestia makes the slightest nod.
>”Anonymous.”
>You straighten up as she addresses you.
>”Equestria faces many dangers. The elements are only useful when they have someone bear them…”
>A hoof stretches out toward you, holding the crown.
>”If anyone is capable of using the element of magic, it would be you.”
>You let the words linger there for a moment.
>Celestia helped you when you first arrived here.
>Twilight was your enemy, not Equestria.
>You look at Trixie.
>You’ve never seen her smile so widely.
>”It also comes with a handsome stipend,” Luna adds.
>This makes you laugh.
>Not five minutes ago you were fighting for your life.
>Now you are being offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
>And it’s all because you chose to be a virgin.
>You take the crown from Princess Celestia’s hoof.
>You can feel the power emanating from the gem.
>With this, anything is possible.
>Celestia again extends her hoof and you return the magic object.
>"Of course, you will have to learn more before we can bestow this honor," Luna explains.
"I'm not going to leave Trixie."
>"Nopony said anything about that."
>"You can stay here, and we will send you books to study."
"That's all?"
>"Well, you will have to send friendship reports from time to time..."
>At least they aren't treating you like a child.
>You can do what you want, as long as you bow to their throne.
>It beats the hell out of dying in Tartarus.
”I’ll do it.”
11/12
>Trixie leaps into your arms, nearly making you fall over.
>She pulls you close for a deep kiss.
>It feels like forever since you’ve held her.
>She squeaks as you squeeze her.
>”Congratulations, Anon,” Celestia says. “I’ll visit you tomorrow to discuss the details.”
>She motions for the others to leave, and in a flash they blink away.
>Luna stays back and opens her mouth to say something.
>After a moment, she decides better of it and chomps the words away.
>She says simply, "You'll do."
>And then she disappears.
>You look down at the little pony in your arms.
>There are so many things you want to say and ask.
>But all those things can wait.
>The only one that matters is Trixie, and you don't want to keep her waiting.
“It’s time you and I tried out my bed.”
>You try to kiss her but she pulls away.
>”Ponies are watching, Anon.”
>By now most of the town is around you.
“Let them.”
>You pull her in for a deep kiss.
>Trixie struggles for half a heartbeat, before melting in your arms.
>In that moment all of your troubles are gone.
>Trixie nuzzles into you, trying to get as close as possible.
>”Now you really are,”
>She breaks the kiss to look up with beautiful half lidded eyes.
>”The Wizard of Ponyville.”
