Whispers of Disharmony [AU]  
**“Do you really think you pretty little ponies are strong enough to go against the Mistress of Chaos?”  
**“We have to try-”  
**“You don’t stand a chance… at least, not without a bit more power…”  
**“We’re strong enough on our own.”  
“**You couldn’t take down Discord without the Elements. Now you’re going to take on someone even he fears WITHOUT the Elements?”  
**”…”  
“**That’s what I thought. I can give you that power… at a price.”  
**“So tell me, oh mighty Tantabus, what is this price for your… assistance.”  
“**I just require… a vessel…”  
**“Like… a body?”  
“**Yessss, a body. The dream realm bores me, there are places I’d like to see with my own eyes…”  
**“Can’t you just dream walk and see them through memories?”  
“**I could… but it’s not the same. How to put this… ah, being in the presence of your beloved royal highnesses is different than simply looking at them in the papers. There’s a grandeur to standing in front of them… feel the power radiating off them. It’s an experience… you understand, don’t you?”  
**”… what kind of… “vessel” do you need?”  
“**I’m not picky, so long as it is pony shaped, it’ll do. I’ll settle for a statue, magic will take care of the rest.”  
**“So… not a corpse or anything?”  
“**Nope, it just needs to not draw attention if it moves.”  
**”… I can find something… do you need the body now?”  
“No, dear princess, the body can wait. However, when I lend you my power, we will bond…”  
“Bond?”  
“**A simple process and concept, I assure you. It just means our powers and mind will be tethered, consider me a passenger and you are my ride. I’ll go wherever you go, joined together until I sever the bond.”  
**“Anything else?”  
**“Mmmm, I don’t believe so… oh yes! Try and go back on our deal and you’ll regret it.”  
**  
“…”  
“Fear not, little pony, I won’t kill you… Although, what I take you might consider more valuable than your life…”  
“…”  
“**So… do we have a deal?”
