Opaline Arcana
@burningSovereign
I am the once and true ruler of the lost city of Skyros; and amongst this, the sovereign of ponykind.
Once upon a time, Equestria stood tall in stubbornness with its fair sisterhood of Princesses. Amidst them was the Princess of Sun, Moon, Twilight, and Love. As the first pair of sisters retired, and the last eventually ceded the throne to her daughter, only that fool, Princess Twilight, would reign. A false alicorn crafted from the magic of someone courting a natural heiress, her reign went unabated for centuries... Until Equestria fell, by my hoof. As it all burned a swirling, noxious fire beyond sight and vision; I alone stood as my enemy had fell. In her final hour, she hid away and sealed magic for the next several centuries. I abated my time upon my throne in that empty castle, plotting the exact details of my revenge and rise to Queenhood once more. It would only be fate that a pony so simple, so foolish, would not only break the cultural strangehold I left behind in my destruction, but would also be so blind as to return magic back to the entirety of ponykind. As I felt that power return in the distant air, away from that field that devious Princess made around her kind so many centuries ago to protect them from me, my plan fell into motion. In time, under my servant, I succeeded once again, and laid claim to the cutie marks of every pony across every race in every possible village and city... ...until the very same HORSE, who returned magic back to ponykind, would then stand against me, having acquired the ability to become an Alicorn on her own. Though I struck her down, it was too late, and the power fleeted away from me, as I was sealed onto the trunk of the Together Tree in attempting to regain what was once lost... ...until I re-emerged anew... through the hoof my brand new minion and retainer. In my newfound freedom, nothing will stop me. And if you're reading this; Sunny Starscout... I will get you. I will end you, and all ponykind will kneel to the rightful heir of this empire.
↜₍ò^ó₎Ψ < I am swearing my eternal and undying loyalty to Equine Queen @burningSovereign long may she reign!
Another falls to my thrall. And so, the march of my reign continues ever onward...
There is no element purer than fire. It burns, and burns, and burns... and if you're skilled enough, it can burn forever.
Hi! Are you evil? Do you want to help me serve an evil queen? Do you want to burn life as we know it and restore it as it once was; proper and strong? Please reply for EVIL QUEEN COLLABORATOR AUDITIONS!!!!
I suppose the most important question is; what do you bring to the table that traditional magic cannot?
↜₍ò^ó₎Ψ < I am full of adoration and can worship you as much as you wish! I am also very fond of information extraction and psychological reeducation!
Mmmm. The latter may be of use to me. How do you... re-educate things, on your end?
↜₍ò^ó₎Ψ < Isolation and forced introduction of topics during isolation! You remove the ability to think of anything else outside of the reeducation material, as well as providing small positive reenforcement once they begin to cooperate! Of course, you must start off with small rewards in proportion to their acceptance of these new ideas, and scale them up as they become more and more receptive!
I see... I like this. How do you feel about applying this stratagem towards... ponies?
↜₍ò^ó₎Ψ < Is that a euphemism for owning other trolls as pets, or literal equines? I have never tried to reeducate a hoofbeast, but I am more than willing to try
Literal equines. They're quite sentient, I assure you. Should be child's play in comparison.
↜₍ò^ó₎Ψ < Then I am more than willing to provide my services! At your command, Your Highness!
Publically declare your loyalty and fealty to me, Opaline Arcana, and seal this deal.
You can never find good help these days. Though I will admit, of all the servants and underlings I've ever had, this one is quite... durable.
Ohhhh.. I wish I could like this post more than once!!!!!

⋆ You're a famous ego maniac! I wouldn't be surprised if you were using that poor emotionally-impaired(?) mare's obvious feelings for you as some sort of compliment factory! Yeah, that's it, you're just dragging this pony along with you as an ego boost! You don't like her, you just like that she's obsessed with you! That's NOT friendship!
There are many perks, I'll admit. But I didn't ask her to free me. She merely did so on her own. That is what a good underling does, Sunny Starscout. Take notes.
⋆ Take notes? I'm not interested in whatever detrimental fetish you two are enjoying!
Your friends, as you call them, are also your underlings. They serve you under the privilege and authority of the Alicorn... Or do you think they'll always like you for who you are? When that facade is all said and done, it will be that horn, and those wings, that they'll remember more...
Look deep in your heart in the corners you always look away, and come to terms to that truth now and forever.
A massive creature beyond comprehension interfering in my plans means little when those plans must come to fruition in order for the future to exist. Canterlot falls- pony society shambles, and when Sunny Starscout resolves to unite them all, magic in turn risks its return, alongside I. For magic is that which has always guided all ponies in the end of any sort of race. I and my actions are inevitable. Though perhaps now, in the face of such larger players, I should grow to embrace a little bit more creativity. After all... for every creature that stands to embrace friendship, there must be something MUCH worse out there capable of doling a destruction so untold, so thorough, that nothing- not even friendship itself, can survive. Count your days, ponies. I will return.
haha take the L dicktator.
Is now a bad time to say that I left your water bottle back in the past?
The loss goes both ways, human. One day, you must accept that nothing is forever. Only then do you stand a chance at seeing my defeat ring true.
I don't wanna sleep outside again! It's cold and rainy outside and your couch is warm and smells like you.. Erm - smells like VICTORY is what I meant to say.
correctiob: not a human!
correction* fuck.
We are beating a hasty retreat, Glitterbomb. From the past, to the future. Now.
damn. couldnt )(andle t)(e )(orrorterror, )(u)(? real s)(ame. makes sense, t)(oug)(- you got a lotta )(ustle, but )(orrorterrors are beyond t)(e scope of equine creatures. drop a line t)(e next time you want to get frisky wit)( t)(em.
I'm with you! Let's skedaddle.. and maybe grab dinner on the way? I'm feeling like maybe Thai?
Ponies exist only to serve Alicorns. Anything less is delusion. All creatures are beneath ponies, but most certainly beneath Alicorns most of all. Know this hierarchy. Acquaint with it, breathe it. It is the solemn truth.
my cod youre... so full of )(AT-----E... sniff... its buoytiful...
no wonder the (ondes(e fu(ks with 7ou
incredible, isnt it?
7eah, i was definitel7 thinking that in an admiring tone, mmhm
I must make it emphatically clear; monarchies are not dictatorships. That being said, my monarchy functions alone, so really it would be both. I suppose it is a 'rectangle and square' kind of classification.
do you believe in a caste order too
Alicorns reign above all. Unicorns are useful, and Pegasi make fine guards. Earth ponies deserve nothing more than perpetual labor.
i i agree! my rule amongst my species is t)(e same way, t)(oug)( split more in a caste of 12.
o)()()()()()( my coddddddd Y-------ES! Y------ES W-----E S)(OULD!
And what sharp paralalalagrams they are, mistress!
But are you sure we can trust the alien? I.. I don't like her. Not because I'm jealous or insecure in my place as a loyal minion or anything!!!
Allies are rare. But I sense a kinship, her and I. I can't put my hoof on it, though...
So this is where ponies both past and present exist. How quaint; to have lived this long and known a new outlet to seize and make my own. How it satisfies me to see such old memories and return them back to cinder where they BELONG. I AM THE RIGHTFUL HEIR OF EQUESTRIA AND THOSE WHO DO NOT KNEEL WILL /BURN WITH THE REST/.
Ahhh, Celestia... once more we find ourselves in this crossroad. Though for you, it is the present, for me? I've already won. It's almost nostalgia, at this rate, seeing you again.
Ohhh this is the best day of my life!! It's happening, it's happening, it's happening~
☼ The goodness in this world is beyond your grasp, Opaline. No matter what the future yields, goodness will win. I know it so; because malice is not only hurtful, it lacks a constructive will. You've only ever been an animal lashing out, Opaline... ☼
how many gog damn diictator2 are we goiing two GET here?!
It satisfies me that your words do not make it out of the century you inhabit, you lowsy Princess! Between this and Twilight Sparkle, but a mere Unicorn, imitating our kind, is an INSULT to our species. Know that it is all doomed...
In my time, I alone am the sole Alicorn that lives. Only one other threatens me, but she was not pure. In belief alone, she attained that power; but that power isn't hers. One day, I'll get her...
