---Rune society meeting Onyx's POV---
As I walked into the area where the meeting was happing, I was not surprised that I was invited. They expected me to have the most information available because I lived near the awakened Elements of Harmony. I already have a boatload of information for them scans about what was different and what Twilight Sparkle most likely is. I watched as Master Shine approached me. I bowed deeply to what was probably the oldest Rune Master in the society itself. "Master Shine, I am surprised that you came to see me on your own."
Master Shine looked me up and down before nodding his head and motioned me to follow him, which I did immediately. "What can be told and what cannot be told about the Elements we will decide before the meeting starts Rune Maker Onyx."
I nodded at the order that was being given without even needing to. "Certainly, shall I explain what difference I noticed from before and then after?"
Shine nodded his head as we walked past two Rune warriors for a split second, I was able to see multiple better ways to make their weapons. Still, it was a completely different rune set compared to the one I was making. "First, I will start with the one that is most obvious to me, my girlfriend Pinkie Pie, before the awakening as I have taken to calling it. She loved to bring people together and party and just have fun. Now that she has awakened, she has been playing more jokes and pranks than before. She is mostly trying to get the most laughter out of a situation even when she should be serious… she can still be serious, but it is more like. If she could get a laugh, she will attempt to."
Shine nodded his head at the information for me to go on. I quickly explained Rarity's lightness; it was not that she was soft; it was more like she was more accepting of things than before. "Rarity is generosity… before she had no problem telling a client that something would not work now, she attempts to make it work for the client instead of anything else."
"Applejack was stubborn before the element, but even she could admit she was wrong. It was way worse after the awakening she had said to her brother that she could harvest a whole field on her own. She knew she could not do this and kept trying till she collapsed in exhaustion. Honesty made her follow through to the detriment to her health." I explained my worry. "I have yet to see anything different about the others, but that might be because I have not been in a situation which had required it. What I can tell you, though, is their magical signatures are near 10 times stronger, with Twilight Sparkle having jumped about 50 times. I believe the only reason she has not noticed is because her control jumped with her power jump."
"Master Shine, I was curious if there was any Filth near them, so I built a detector that I was allowed to. I was surprised that there was none until a piece floated in on the wind. When it had gotten close enough to one of them, it was completely evaporated. In roughly a 20-mile zone around the 5 girls that are the known elements, no Filth can exist, but around Twilight Sparkle, that zone is closer to 100 miles." I explained before looking up in worry. "There are anti-Filth fields around their bodies."
"I worry that if this is known, some of the Warhawks would try and do something." Master Shine nodded his head in agreement. "There is one more thing, the harmonic magic in Ponyville itself is getting stronger. I believe if they stay there long enough while radiating this energy, it will make Ponyville permanently pure."
"Good work Rune Maker Onyx." Master Shine complimented me before he looked up in thought. "We will inform them of the magical growth and the chance of permanence of Ponyville as well as what the elements are doing to the users of this generation."
"Understood, Master Shine" I bowed and stopped walking with him when he waved his hand to send me off on my own. As I moved through the runic meeting place, I saw Unicorns talking over various plans. I quickly looked for a specific section before I had found it, Rune Vehicle Makers. There were only two Unicorns in this section. "Greeting masters. I am Rune Maker Onyx, and I am searching for enlightenment?"
"I am Rune Master Marble Dare," The white Unicorn greeted with a smile.
"I am Rune Master Arctic Breeze," The Icy blue Unicorn greeted as well with a neutral face.
"What do you need help with, Rune Maker Onyx?" R.M Marble asked. I quickly sat down across from them before bringing out my spider walker and rolling the blueprint out for them. I watched as they quietly picked at it in thought. "We will likely take ten minutes to read this Rune Maker Onyx."
I bowed and moved off to get food, not worried that they would steal it because Rune Makers, in general, are incredibly prideful about their work. 'They are damn near dwarf-like in that respect. They take their word just as seriously. I could not be happier.'
As I picked up a basket of hay fries for three just in case they ask for some, I noticed what look like an argument breaking out between a couple of Rune Masters. I started moving back just so I did not get caught in the blast zone. When I reached the table where we were set up, I saw my blueprint rolled up, but they were not paying me any attention. They were watching the fight, most likely about to take place. As I sat the food down, I held back my snort as they immediately started eating it. I looked over only to see the two Rune Master move their head as if they were saying 'Bah!' and walk away from each other.
R.M Marble let out a low sigh in relief. "I am glad those two did not start a fight this time."
R.M Arctic let out a snort. "They should just fight already."
I let out a confused hum before R.M Arctic snorted. "Just ask if you do not know young Rune Maker it is how you learn."
"Understood, Master, what were the two masters fighting about, and who were they?" I asked because I was allowed to. These two have seen much compared to me.
"The two Rune Masters are from the same path they are trying to figure out how to make a better smelter. they are working together, but they have two different ideas one wants to add air to the smelter somehow, and the other wants to make the fire that it generates hotter using magic." R.M Marble answered with a light tone of voice. "They have been going at each other for a little over six months about this."
R.M Arctic snorted and informed me of their names. "Rune Master Sky Chaser and Rune Master Berry freeze. They should just fight already."
"Rune Master Arctic thinks that the problems between them are because they have too much pent-up aggression, and I happen to agree with him for one reason." I looked at R.M Marble for his reason. "They have not been working through their frustration properly. It is causing them to make mistakes with their thinking and making them do sloppy work that they should not be doing."
Arctic let out an annoyed sigh. "If they keep putting out the level of work, they will be hit with an infraction, and that will hurt their reputation and make them even angrier."
Marble let out a grimace at arctic words. "He is not wrong young Rune Maker. You need a way to get through your frustration… me, I cook and make beautiful food. I have recently gotten a grandmaster license."
Arctic took a flask of alcohol. "I brew using runes to speed up the aging process. My most recent cask got me the grandmaster rating as well."
I bowed, deeply surprised at the information that me making toys was helping me make my runes. "I make toys for the local youth. I am still a grandmaster, but I have succeeded in making heirloom grade."
"You will not be able to apply for Heirloom grade until you can make 100 toys in a row Heirloom grade," Arctic informed me, which surprised me about how stringent the requirements are. "Enough talk about that now we talk about you walker."
"We have seen your rune limbs before because we were called in to check, so we know how your runes work." Marble informed me, "The reason you are having so many problems is that you are not giving the runes themselves a fuel source. You are trying to get it to run on pure magic, and that is not powerful enough."
I nod my head hoping they would explain the various things wrong about my walker before being interrupted by the gathering bell. As they stood up, they were surprised that I stood up as well. Marble let out a confused. "Are you coming with us, Rune Maker Onyx?"
"I am only to give a report than leave the room so the discussion can be held," I Informed them both.
They nodded their head and lead me to the meeting room where a total of 20 Unicorns were gathered along with Princess Luna. 'Luna must be taking a hand in the Runic department.'
For some reason, that really pisses me off not really sure why.
---Meeting room 3rd POV just as Onyx has left the room---
Luna let out an interested hum. "I did not think the elements would affect the users to such an extent."
The various Rune Master quickly went through Rune Maker Onyx's work. Rune Master Shine let out. "The fact that they make a ground pure just by staying on it for a long time is fascinating."
There were murmurs of agreement about what that could mean and how long it would take a ground to take on a purified state, and how long it would last. They quickly decided that once a purification took place, they would most likely be able to tell how long it lasted. Rune Master Arctic looked at the power growth the user's experienced in interest. "I wonder why their magical signatures grew and why miss Sparkles grew to such an extent."
There were arguments about what it meant that Twilight Sparkle was so much stronger than everyone else amongst the elements before deciding to move on. A Rune Master let out. "The fact that the elements changed them is probably so they can use the power more easily. I mean, as you know, people that use too much elemental magic sometimes get tainted by it."
They nodded in agreement after all fire elemental Unicorn have known to become even shorter temper once the magic stains their souls. The elements themselves most likely staining the user's soul to such an extent, and that fast is worrisome. "I wonder what this means for Miss Sparkle because she claims that they make up the Harmony Magic which she channels."
A Rune Master put forth a thought. "Maybe she will be great at negotiating peace deals and the like."
Several of the Rune Master snickered at the thought before shaking their head. Before another put forth. "No, Harmony is all magic, so maybe there will be no effect on Miss Sparkle."
Princess Luna looked at the various notes before nodding her head. "It is too soon to tell what Harmony Magic will do to young Twilight but what we can talk about. Is the fact that Harmony does not like the Filth and that it can cure it."
There were various nods of agreement before they sighed. A Rune Master informed the Princess. "We will likely have to run a hundred experiments before we even get a smidge of an answer, my lady."
"Time we now have because the harmonic wave destroyed most Filth Particles in the air and land." Master Shine informed. "The current projection is showing as long as no pony gets corrupted, we have 5 years before a Filth den spawns."
The runemasters nodded in agreement about the math and the time they were given to experiment with. Rune Master Shine Looked around if anyone else had anything to say. "I would like to call this meeting adjourned."
The runemasters looked at each other before they nodded their head, showing they were done. Master Shine smiled and said, "Meeting Adjourned."
The various Rune Masters left the room to go experiment leaving just 3 Rune Masters and a Princess. Master Shine Looked as Arctic and Marble wondering what they wanted. "The brat approached us with a war vehicle in the making."
Master Shine blinked in surprise before nodding his head. "You did not interfere, right."
"Not at all. We gave him a small hint as is our right, but before he could ask more questions, the gathering took place," Marble informed with honesty.
Arctic looked annoyed that he had to report at all. "Why so much attention on the brat."
Master Shine looked at them before looking at lady Luna who nodded her head with a go-ahead. Master Shine explained, almost whispering the words. "Rune Maker Onyx is not making a Rune Language. He is making Runic God Language."
Arctic and Marble sat up at these words. Rune Master Shine continued, "He is making a god magic once it is completed, he will only need a deed, and he will spark into an Alicorn."
Arctic and Marble groaned and rubbed their heads, annoyed before Arctic let out a low, "Still a brat no matter what."
Marble looked at his friend in shock. "He is a Princeling in the making Arctic."
"Not a prince yet, Marble still needs a deed which he might never do." Arctic barked at Marble.
"This is a secret you two understand, right." Master Shine asked nervously. They quickly nodded before leaving the room.
As Luna stood up as well and nodded to Shine before teleporting away. Rune Master Shine was alone now before he stood as well before leaving the room.
---Ethereal POV same room---
Harmony sat at the table thinking about the Runa Maker and Master's thoughts. 'I wonder what your deed will be, young Onyx because I can tell you will be an Alicorn. I can see it after all with future sight, but your deed changes every time I look.'
Discord floated into the room with next to no trouble. 'How was the meeting?'
'Fine discord, how are your agents?' Harmony asked.
'Annoyed that you were able to save Nightmare Moon.' Discord admitted with little to no trouble in his expression. 'They will get over it and try to win the next round.'
