@burningSovereign
I am the once and true ruler of the lost city of Skyros; and amongst this, the sovereign of ponykind.
Oh no.. was my ad for evil help too good? Is my master going to.. REPLACE ME??? :(
Aww.. my liege, that's the nicest thing you've ever said! I am so proud to be eating out of your garbage can at night!!
I am NOT some strange dispenser of bodily fluid for your indulgences. Take your meal and enjoy the roof over your head, underling, lest I take it away from you.
↜₍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...
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.
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.
⋆ 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.
... Wow I am fuming.
