((this profile was the basis of this story on fimficiton know that Arcon was removed in this story))
Who does one turn to if one finds their teacher lacking? I will be the first to admit that Celestia is a great teacher, but a limited one.
The answer of course, is to go to someone older than your teacher.
Who would have thought my magnum opus would be in dark magic. There has to be a balance to life. Creation and destruction.
and here is where I introduce my friend Archon. he is unbelievably ancient. and can be a bit hard to understand. But he has agreed to help me develop my magic to the fullest extent.
none of that restraint nonsense Celestia keeps preaching about. And to think she had Archon sealed in her room this whole time. Such a incomparable source of knowledge. Its almost sexy....well if he had a body.
Bodies superfluous. waste of energy, impracticable and unrefined.
See what I mean by hard to understand? don't get me wrong. I know what he said....I just don't understand the reasoning behind it.....isn't that fascinating?
though I'm pretty attached to my body. but Archon has shown me a way to consume the very essence of another, take their experiences and knowledge for my own. I think it has to do with their soul but I'm not sure.
How many days has it been? how many years?
Time is irrelevant. it is a creation of lesser creatures to measure phenomena and compare it to their own small existence.
Wait....has it been centuries?
I just got back from outside. the stars have moved in their orbits far beyond mere centuries. Archon....we have been studying for several! millennium.
I thought I would feel more when I realized everyone I knew is long dead. Well almost everyone. I'm sure a few Alicorns are still active.
Feelings irrelevant. a byproduct of chemical reactions in the brain. have taken steps to remove anomaly.
I can guess this is when you removed my need for sleep? No matter I still have my thirst for knowledge, and right now I need to figure out what has happened in these last few millennium. I'm sure there's lots of interesting beings outside. and I'm going to get their knowledge. Whether they want to give it to me or not. I must understand....I must know.
Discoveries:
I have made a few discoveries when exploring.
Myself: It appears I now exist outside of time. if I don't make an effort to let phenomena affect me it simply doesn't. and if someone tries to touch me the converging timelines have a rather drastic effect on the person If i'm not paying attention. Almost like spaghettification but with time instead of gravity.
Chains of fate: I have discovered a method of connecting mortals and immortals alike with chains of fate. These can be good or bad and seem to tweak the laws of probability to make either good things or bad things more likely. its also a handy way to keep track of mortals I like. and give them some of my power if I deign it necessary. Seems I can actually be a god now. If I want.
I am not unto a god. I go by the name Time quite often. I watch the timestream and perform experiments to see the outcomes of various effects.
The Grimoires: Throughout the Aeon's that Time has spent resetting the universe and testing magic, she's developed the Grimoire. A Grimoire is a tome about a particular aspect of magic, but unlike regular books, this one contains a complete understanding of whatever subject its written about. every possible spell and combination of spells are listed in the Grimoires Naturally it can take a year or more to fully understand a single page, and a (normal) beings lifetime to fully understand a single one.
I've taken the time to write a small fanfiction on AncientTwilight as a pastime. You can find it here.
