The Lost Treasure of Glitterdust,
Epilogue
[ Aboard the Princess Bride, secure room]
“I did warn you.” Discord stated, lounging against the ceiling with his lower body propped up against one of the beams as he looked down at the three occupants of the room.
Aria was sitting at a small table across from Rahs who was reading a book, given he and Pinkie were the only ones immune to the Sirens without generous globs of spit, the pair were switching in and out as the trip progressed. They were still a day out of Canterlot at the moment.
Sonata was laying on a bed flipping through a comic Pinkie gave her.” Hey daddy.” She waved.
“Yeah yeah, you warned us about this guy, not that Adagio would turn on us.” Aria grumbled pointing her good hoof at Rahs. The moon dog looked shocked that any one would need to warn any one about him for any reason.
No one was buying it.
“I warned you about there being some people out there you should avoid.” Discord sighed. “And I know I told you not to mess with that one, and here you are chatting him up.”
“Right, I'm bored being watched, he's bored watching so were talking about stage tech.” Aria sighed wincing a little as she leaned back too far and moved her leg bound in a sling.” I would hardly call that chatting him up.”
“Mmmmhmmmm.” Discord chuckled. “At any rate Sparkle, I would like to have a word with my daughters alone, so if you would.” Discord gestured towards the door.
“Woof!” Rahs frowned.
“Oh calm down, I have no plans to spring them, or do anything too crazy.” Discord huffed.” I have no desire to end up as a chew toy again, particularly since my squeaker is broken.”
Discord holds up a toy mouse that looked broken in half.
Rahs stared at him a moment.
“Bork.”
“No need to be rude, I shouldn't be long.” Discord shook his head.
Rahs spared a glance at the two sirens as he closed his book tucking it into a coat pocket before stepping out of the room with a glare at Discord, who was oddly dressed as an angel complete with a little halo on a stick over his head.
“I take my I off you three for a few seconds and you try to bring about civil war with the griffons.” Discord sighed as the door clicked closed.
“That was the Apex and God doing that.” Sonata chimed up.
“Yes, over who got to keep you two.” Discord sighed.” If Lockheed had won that stare down I would have put you two back on the ship.”
“Right, after just what little I've seen Rahs wasn't likely to lose to that idiot.” Aria offered.
“I wouldn't put too much money on that.” Discord offered. “Lockheed may be an asshole, but he's far from weak and unlike the blue Sparkle outside he's trained in fighting his whole life. Thing is he's a true misanthrope. He would love nothing more to be in the woods hunting and having nothing to do with anyone. But because he was made a god simply due to he was the only one around at the time, he can't do that. Half the things said about him are simply not true, the other half certainly are. I almost feel sorry for him, almost.”
“And you're not gonna take us back to the ship now because?” Sonata asked.
“Simple I'm pulling the father knows best card.” Discord offered pulling out a Chance card with 'Father Knows Best' written on it.
“You've been running around two worlds for a long time and it's time you went home.” Discord said flatly.” I wasn't watching you because I've been speaking with your mother. She'll be waiting in Canterlot for you to arrive.”
“Shit.” Aria sighed.
“I don't want to hear it from you. Dagi's gone and I most certainly am going to do what I can to protect you two.” Discord offered sternly.
“What... Dagi's gone, you mean like dead?” Sonata gasped.
“I told you this, Rahs saved all of us, then Adagio decided to try to blast him and us by proximity. He dropped her and ate the spell, which was weird as shit, and she fell into the abyss.” Aria pointed out.
“No, she's not dead.” Discord sighed.” She's just going down a road I am going to have to follow very very carefully if at all to make sure she doesn't wind up worse than dead.”
“Well that's not ominous at all.” Aria grumbled.
[Ponyville]
It was raining. Sure the rain was scheduled, but that didn't mean anything to Twilight who was simply staring out a window watching the water bead on the clear crystal.
Sitting at the table in the room, Spike was going over his DM notes, with Princess Luna drinking a cup of coffee next to him. Luna had teleported in only about twenty minutes ago to inform them of the news that had been sent back by the mission to Aerie, which should be in Canterlot tomorrow morning.
Twilight acknowledged this and continued to mope.
“So she has been like this for the last several days?” Luna asked curiously.
“Yup. I even threw a brand new book at her and she ignored it.” Spike offered.
“Both the book and him hitting her with it. I thought I would need to fix another wall with a Spike shaped hole in it.” Seshat offered.
“Another?” Luna questioned.
“What? Just because they're gods now you don't think I'm gonna stop screwing with her or Rahs do you?” Spike offered. ”Besides I need to remind them I can still give as good as I get so their egos don't get too big. And trust me that's a constant struggle with Rahs.”
“Right, and this current issue is because of Big Mac refusing to allow her to make him her... 'companion' we think it is being called now?” Luna asked.
“Yup.” Spike stated. “It's not like he broke up with her or anything, he just said no when she offered. I can sorta get behind him not wanting to live longer than the rest of his family, but Twi's taken it pretty hard. Doesn't help matters he had to go to Canterlot for a couple days with Granny to deal with some business. Something she KNEW WAS COMING IN ADVANCE!!”
Luna blinked at the yell as Twilight simply sighed.
“I am not understanding this. Isn't living longer the goal of mortals?” Seshat questioned.
“Some of them yes, some of them no. It depends. Some ponies think being immortal is the end all beat all, while others prefer the natural cycle or want to make sure they meet those they have loved and lost in the Elysium fields of the after life.” Luna explained. “We ourselves are on the fence about this due to all those we have lost and all those who are still around. We understand both sides of the issue and do our best not to judge on any ones beliefs. Which is likely why we get so many fliers from Tuesdayists”
“That still doesn't quite make sense to me.” Seshat stated.
“Do not worry, it is a complex subject that you may understand in time. Even if you do not, it is not something to dwell on. Gods have lost much sleep over this over the eons and it is not likely to stop, though with Twilight's adjustment of the Familiar spell, some of the arguments may ease off.”
“ I see... well I don't, but I suppose...... Oh. Big Mac is at the door...... I think?” Seshat offered though a blur of purple was already out of her seat and racing towards the door.
“Well. I think perhaps we should make sure that nothing disastrous happens.” Luna stated picking up her mug as she stood up, trotting after Twilight.
“Ehh prolly for the best, I don't want to deal with this moping for any longer.” Spike shrugged hopping up and following.” It's not even funny moping like when Rahs does it and makes it a show.”
The pair made their way to the front hall where Twilight was talking with Big Mac. The large stallion wore a huge bright yellow rain coat and hood.
Seshat grumbled about him dripping water all over her, but she was largely ignored.
Twilight was rambling about things like, 'she understood why he might choose not to stay with her' or 'become immortal' and was working herself up into a rather fevorius tizzy.
Then Mac booped her in the nose with a wet rain boot covered hoof and derailed Twilight completely as she tried to wipe the cold water off her nose.
“Ah never said ah didn't wanna do it. Ah just said no tah you doing tha spell.” Big Mac offered.
Twilight blinked a moment as Big Mac pulled off his rain coat.
Big Mac was already larger than Twilight, but now he positively towered over her. His fur had taken a deeper shade of red and his straw colored mane had grown out a good bit. His tail didn't end in a normal ponies whisk anymore, but in a more serpentine length with a number of spines along it that ran up the length of it. His hooves were split, not quite cloven but seemingly edged like claws. He had a scattering of scales around his joints and hooves that were a brighter red coloration. His green eyes were reptilian slits as they regarded the stunned Twilight. Then he smiled showing he did indeed have some natural fangs now.
“Wha...” Twilight stammered, her brain blue screening.
“Big Mac came to us to ask a favor in this regard, it seems that while curious to what having the spell cast on him by you would do, he had also calculated you might enjoy something a bit closer to a Nox Cal and theorized that I might have the best result for your tastes.” Luna stated sipping her coffee. “ Given we have no plans any time soon of taking any one as a mate due to our... last encounters, we saw no reason to refuse after all that you have done for us. Plus with how your life generally goes, we thought it best that you not use any of your power for such a thing until we are sure you shall not be bothered.”
“Baa, wha?” Twilight offered staring.
“Do not think such a gift is not without price however. If Sombra and Rarity ever decide to go a bit further than their 'not dating' we would expect you to make the same offer to Rarity for the sake of our son.” Luna stated blinking as Twilight stared on. “ And you haven't heard anything we've said....”
“I will inform her when her brain reboots.” Seshat sighed.
“Alright , please also tell her she needs to be in Canterlot at about eight am for when the Princess Bride returns. We feel our sister shall need more back up than just us.” Luna sighed.
“So.... Princess Luna....” Spike questioned scratching his chin.
Luna snorted.” Yes Spike, if you wish and she agrees we may do the same for Applebloom at a later date. Unless you find another god to aid you. I would suggest avoiding Rahs however. Applebloom has enough dramatic moments as a Crusader without having Rahs add to it. Now we need to leave, thank you for the coffee.”
“Cool, gimmi a moment to get my bag.” Spike nodded.
“Your bag?”
“Yeah, as soon as Twilight snaps out of this she's going to tackle him and what gets done after that I'm pretty sure I don't want to be around for.” Spike explained. “Sorry Seshat.”
“Sadly I am getting used to it. I take you would like me to hide the doors to your room just in case?”Seshat asked.
“Yeah thanks! Might wanna lock down the theater too.” Spike offered running to get his stuff.
[Abysmal Abyss]
“Tell me again why I have wasted all this money to get us to this horrid place?” Diamond Tiara snarled.” These griffons are the greediest things I have ever seen in my life, and that is saying something given my mother.”
“Patience my friend. I have a reason for coming out here. You are not the only one who's caught my eye.” Solomon offered.
The pair of them were hiking along a wide river that led into the bottom of a massive chasm. It had taken a good number of bits to run off the griffons guarding the river. Still it had been done and with nothing else in their way the pair had walked along the river bank as far as they could with a Rich Inc, barge following along slowly behind them in the river.
Solomon had been sending forth small motes of shadow into the darkness ahead of them before he finally stopped and smiled.
“There she is, and still alive too.” Solomon smiled.
Diamond Tiara frowned as a gathering of shadows carried a large yellow serpent like form out of the darkness of the abyss before them.
“A siren?” Diamond Tiara frowned as she got a good look at the form. ”I do not think this is a good idea.”
“It isn't really.” Solomon offered as the body was floated over and laid out on the shore before him. He moved over the siren looking over the wounds and not seeing anything immediately life threatening.” But at the same time this is a calculated risk.”
“How so?”
“From my study of her she wants power to over throw, or destroy, or beat, or show up, or something involving her mother, I don't know for certain, nor do I care, but power is easily granted. I can give her one of my sons old trinkets, I've a box or two of those lying around after all. One of them should suit.” Solomon shrugged. ”However the goal will be to keep her around and either happy or interested.”
Diamond Tiara raised an eye brow at him.
“ Think my friend. She is a demi god, a very important piece of the puzzle, not to mention she's the child of chaos and the tyrant of the seas. With her on our side retaliation is less likely to come from those two. Either due to letting their child do what she wants, or fear I might do something to her. Who knows, she might even agree with my plans and join us willingly just to further her own ends.”
“And you trust her to do that?”
“Not in the slightest. There was a reason I came to you with that offer Diamond and why I am keeping you in the loop of my dealings. You and I have a deal to watch each others back against any future allies we gain. This one, well, she's one to watch out for of course, but she's far to useful at the moment for me to not have her around.” Solomon smiled. “Signal the barge, lets bring her on board shall we?”
Things are getting interesting.
Alright, I'm actually a little confused here... What happened to Big Mac? Like, I think I've forgotten how the Nox-Cal came about in the first place, if that was ever revealed, so I have no idea how he became one, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't gain immortality from that alone. Did he become Luna's familiar? That seems a little counter-intuitive, as now Luna would have a small claim to him, which could lead to drama down the road. (Not that that would happen, but it is something I could see Twi freaking out about majorly.)
God dangit.
10824634
Luna cast the familier spell on him and he took ion an aspect of her portfolios She has Nox Cal in her portfolios. And She's not making any claim on him and doesn't mind sharing the bit of power loss that would make him with one who saved her from the nightmare ie Twilight
Later:
"Seshat? You OK?"
"I. Hurt. EVERYWHERE!"
10824637
Gotcha. That's a pretty rad workaround lol, I'm glad he was thinking things through.
10824637
while that is kinda cool would giving him lunas moon dog portfolio have been a potential possibility? or would that have made it so the apples farm would be unuseable
Huh. Wasn't fully expecting this. I was more expecting him to be in Canterlot to do things the old Fashioned way and Ask Twilight's Father for Permission to marry her and THEN agree to the immortality. Also, there is no way Aria and Sonata are going back to Neighlantis. Too much Chemistry between Aria and Rahs, and also needing to fill the Overlords Daughter Trope, and Sonata would just get along so well with Pinkie and Shy. And the fact Aria is the best bet at Trixie having an Ally as they are both stage ponies... sirens.. whatever
10824639 THAT should be a given
Now you show up!
She has a point, neither of these two wanted to mess with him, this was all on psycho-siren
At this point, it is true, who would need to be warned not to mess with a Sparkle? Plus, I mean, Rahs is likely the most reasonable one of the group and the one you least need to be worried about as you really need to go out of your way to try and piss him off before he'd be anything you need to worry about.
Or be pretty and look like you might take an interest in him.... but that wouldn't be him making you sorry for that.
wait.... okay I would love if this ended up with Aria not joining the Harem Squad, but just being a purely platonic friend, and it drives the other ones nuts as they are sure she's just trying to get close and steal him.
So, did you save Adagio?
Very true.
Well, dang..... guess they aren't stick around. But again... Adagio?
OKay..... so does he know about Solomon? Cause as said, she is not the type to work well under him, not without some... modifications... that seem to be the type of thing Discord would classify as 'worse then dead'. Or does he just mean, the more he messes with her, the further he'll push her down the path to just blind, utter rage that ends with her complete losing it beyond any hope of not ending up screwed hard by her own actions?
And, and we still have Mopey Twilight.
Did you throw it hard enough to bend pages and/or break the spine of it? If so, we are in MAJOR issue territory.
And a reminder to those who might need it that for all he's the only one without some level of direct godly power..... he's still a Sparkle and still more then able to punch well over what should be his weight-class.
1. That is a great way of presenting things on Luna's part, very well done.
2. So Twilight's got her own entire little Tuesday cult forming? Geee, if only they know somepony skilled at building up and running one of those...
Of course drama dog knows how to make even his sad, mopey, heartache entertaining.
Then grow an entryway with a place to dry off.
Huh..... interesting twist on this.... Big Mac is being kind of.... maybe overly fast in this and it does seem to be skipping to 'immortal companion, pretty quick given they hadn't even reached the stage of more then dating. Cadance and Shining were at least already married. So it does seem like pushing things a bit fast, especially when it includes rather substantial body alteration as well.
And not risking Twilight not being able to go Super Saiyan Purple level Square Root of infinity when needed is likely a good idea.
Well, after that, and after she grabs Big mac and rushes to her room, not to emerge for several days.
Oh the shear level of dramatic horror that would create......... Maybe Bleu will help you out.....
Well crap....... we all saw this coming but, how is he going to handle her?
fair enough.
Ah, so not going the "Be my pawn" route of trying to control her, but realize how badly she reacts to being controlled, and just play on her hot headed idiocy and need to inflate her own ego to manipulate her into thinking it's her own idea to stick around and be ready for when you want to unleash her.
Does again bring to mind the question of if Discord knows about Solomon.
Smart villains are way too freaking scary........
10824649
Luna doesn't have Moon Dogs as a portfolio rahs took that
10824639
"There are parts of me that shall never be clean again....."
10824701
oh i forgot. i have a question about the witch wolfs. since there needs to be at least 10 for a portfolio and ravs has it then where are they? if celestia or another god knows where they are and hides it from him then is that a problem as that seems like something that would cause uproar
Oh, yeah, I forgot this DT is a murderer. What strength does Solomon get from a rich kid child, again?
10824706
No one knows yet..... except maybe Daring Doo, but she's not telling.
10824718
wealth, and she's more a teen now anyway
10824724
why do i get the feeling that this situation isnt as simple as we have been lead to belive by you?
10824732
now why would i obfuscate the truth?
10824742
Because you are you.
10824706
They are in hiding somewhere. Starlight Glimmer has met them before, at least Artemis, though presumably there are more besides. Haven't seen any more yet, but I'm sure they will come out eventually, and Rahs will get yet another suitor.
10824718
Money? It's a useful thing, even in a world of neigh immortal gods.
10824755
well we can at least guess that the number of witch wolfs we dont know about is overall at least 9 (10 if we dont count applejack to count towards the 10 needed for the portfolio) but its likely that like with applejack that any witch wolf that dies just gets "replaced" by their "sucsessor" so does anyone remember a solid number that we have gotten for the ammount luna pulled out? cause its likely 1 less then that (assuming witch wolfs children/pups dont auto become witch wolfs)
Discord let Dagi fall where she will so she could continue on her way to have Harmony collect the rest of the threads against the newest threat?
Seshat is going to ache even more because Big Mac can Earth Pony bond to her magic with a side of Nox resistance to damage?
10824777
You know. I didn't think of that.
Poor tree.
Is this Diamond Tiara older? Cause if not then she is snatching Cozy Glow place as the devious filly, we don't even know if Cozy is going to be a villain in this story, after all I can't imagine this Twilight making a friendship school.
So, Discord is very deliberately allowing Dagi to do the bads, right? It's well within his power to retrieve her with a snap of his claws, yet he refrains, and even acknowledges the trouble that this will lead to. So my question is, WHY? Did White tip him off to something?
Does Discord know Rahs is the god of the phrase “All the world’s a stage?”
Cause if he knew that, he’d probably be putting his money on the moondog.
Oh this is going to be a fun chapter.
… Spike’s phrasing makes me wonder…
Wow. Twilight is really out of it if she didn’t toss spike through a wall.
I wonder if Luna has asked her little sister where her son is laying his head at night.
Along with any other tidbits of info about the boy.
Also, is Luna aware of the Nightmare aspect that is now a part of Rarity?
Why do I have a feeling Sombra is building lots of sharp weapons to commit patricide.
I KNEW IT! I KNEW BIG MAC NEVER STOPPED LOVING TWILIGHT I BUCKING KNEW IT! SUCK A ROTTEN EGG JIRODYNE YOU SORRY PUTZ WHOOOO!!!
Ahem, sorry, but I've been anxious to see how things between Big Mac and Twilight would resolve and this was a very pleasant surprise. Well done little rabbit
Oh and the rest of the arc was fun too
Shocker
What's so odd about that
...You know, you know that Solomon is back, you know he will most likely try to recruit her for his war on the divine, and yet you're not doing anything about it... what do you know that we don't?
It happens
Probably not no
I don't think even she knows at this point
But because he was made a god simply due to he was the only one around at the time, he can't do that.
“Due to” is usually followed by a present-tense verb, adverb or adjective, and those weren’t used, so “because” would fit better.
Okay, so will Luna be getting an invite to the next Apple family reunion? That would make it three gods, and two demi-gods.
10824820
It's not part of The Nightmare in this 'verse, but part of a Tantabus, which also in this 'verse is unconnected to Luna but just a regular magical creature that arises if the Moon Dogs don't keep up at their work at dealing with the residual magic of nightmares.
10824875
or maybe...'due to him being the only one around at the time"?
10824718
Financing for his experiments, and an agent that can move freely through Equestria getting things he wants or finding him information without him having to risk going out on his own to do so.
10824706
We've gotten hints from Daring and Starlight that there is a hidden village of them out there somewhere. Either called Artemis or with somedog called Artemis as the leader going by a comment from Starlight.
10824805
Either that or more likely, he knows Dagi is at the point where him doing anything is just going to piss her off more and push her even further off the slope she's already sliding down on, so he has to be as mismatched appendages off as possible and hope things work out, only coming in if there is absolutely no other option to save her, but till then hoping that with time she'll calm down and come to her senses.
Question is does he fully understand this is Solomon? And just what a threat that means? Or is he just as blasai about it as really, most of the audience is likely to be in the long run since we know he ain't going to win in the end.
10824902
Would be a hell of a thing if i did let him win though wouldn't it?
10824897
That would also work
Yeah the call on Solomon recruiting Adagio was an easy one, no surprise there.
Big Mac going to Luna for immortality sure was though. And as a bonus from now on he gets to indulge Twilight's predator fetish without having to dress up...
10824698
They have been dating for years at this point. It wouldn't surprise me if the only reason they're not married yet is because they're afraid of their wedding turning into a shit show like Shining and Cadance's, only with an actual villain since Chrysalis isn't actually evil in this timeline.

Chrysalis: “Are there any questions about the plan?”
*every Changeling Drone raises their right hoof*
Chrysalis: “That doesn’t involve the Sharkas eating Celestia while she is drowning.”
*half the hooves go down*
Chrysalis: “Or why overthrowing Luna by putting her on a permanent “vacation” is a necessary idea.”
*half the remaining hooves go down*
Chrysalis: “Or WHY I’m going to transform the Sparkles into tiny harmless fleas, which I will put into a box, before putting that into another box, before mailing it to myself AND THEN SMASHING IT WITH A HAMMER!”
*all but one hoof goes down*
Chrysalis: “WHAT?!”
Cadance in a fake mustache and glasses: “So will this be before or after we chain up the Princess of Food?”
Chrysalis: “After obviously!”
Ok, now I believe Velkorn’s prophecy is starting to take shape, probably with Diamond Tiara as Madness, Adagio as Envy, and Solomon as Pride, though I might be wrong about who represents what
10824928
Which does beg the questions of:
I can’t see Twilight giving up “books” without a fight, so what kind of effect would “Tuesdays” have upon
SombraRarity? Wouldheshe only exist on Tuesdays after the spell was cast? Wouldheshe become a walking disaster magnet on Tuesdays?10825115
The minor portfolio doesn't matter, It's just the power gage/ limiter Twi and Sunset put on the spell. Like a standard familier spell aspects of the caster will show on the new familier/companion. Hence How big mac got aspects of the Nox cal and has the darker coat. He will also be a bit more nocturnal and at the very least be a lucid dreamer now.
10824928
True, but it's very hard to tell how close they really are given how little we actually see anything about their relationship beyond the occasional jokes about what a kinky horndog Twilight is.
10825022
Villains who have read and follow the advice of the List..... are freaking TERRIFYING!
I am really curious at whose insurance the Sparkles bought for Seshat? Wait, can you even buy insurance policy for a sapient, magical castle?
10825200
Can you buy insurance in Ponyville at all at this point?
And even if so, any insurance company willing to give a policy to ANY of the Sparkles, has to be some kind of scam or money laundering/tax evasion scheme.
10825160
I have added in a few things here and there, a couple of dates and big mac now able to take the place of Rahs in calming twilight. There was also the scenes of him reading a book on how to preen when she got wings. So there are romantic things going on, but with everything else they are fairly easy to miss as her dating unlike Rahs' is sort of back ground.
10825200
Given Twilight can usualy fix what she breaks and has a lot of 'hero' points for saving the world she could get insurance if she didn't live inside a sentiant creature. No policy will cover that. So Twilight cranked up the wards
Celestia could drop the sun on Ponyville and Seshat would just be singed. And in a molten crater but you know
As I don't want Aria and Sonata returning to Neighlantis and instead becoming new Parolees in Ponyville, I imagine something along the lines of Aria and Sonata being able to explain to everyone present just why the left and don't wanna return which gets Celestia, Luna and Twilight on their side, with Aqua firmly refusing, but giving them a way that she thinks they can't fulfil to get her to agree. She and Discord want them back in Neighlantis, the others want to give them the opportunity to try and live their lives, so Aqua gives them what she thinks is an impossible condition that is they can get enough gods to Disagree with her and Discord 2-to-1 she will agree to letting them stay in Equestria but it has to be within the next minute. She thinks she's won this argument until Rahs decides this is a perfectly dramatic enough moment to pull out his portfolio, shove it in her face and go "Checkmate:
10824805
Probably... Discord may be chaos, but even he is not a fan of paradoxes, death, and destruction. He is the trickster and prankster, no one can have a laugh if they are dead.
10825278
There are small details yes, enough to more then show the two do care about each other, hence no reactions of "Wait, what, why?" or being unbelieving of them being at this point where it makes sense. It just kind of feels like they skipped past a few steps in the relationship process to jump right to "Permanent immortal companions".
10825367
Weddings are dangerous in Ponyville. And it's not like mac can't back out later like the familiers can
10824902
I already know who Artemis is (or rather WAS before the name change).
Needless to say Celestia is gonna be in for quite the shock if they ever come face to face given the “history” they have.
