       "Just a little experimentation. Something I have been quite
       curious about for some time, but not until just recently had I
       thought of actually trying it out." Nova replied as she
       clambered onto the dragon's back, "Let's go." she commanded in
       dragon tongue.

       The dark dragon eyes his master up and down noticing she had
       aged several years. "Hold onto your hoofs my master." Bolt spins
       his back legs until they become a black blur he takes off at
       over 300mph. Pushing hard to please the pony he pushes past the
       sound barrier breaking it without regaurd in seconds they
       reached the resting place. Bolt lower his wing as if for Nova to
       use as a slide to depart.

       Nova slid off the dragon without saying a word as she walked
       across the field of the bone graveyard and came to a stop in the
       middles of the various remains of fallen dragons. The phantoms
       whom had followed them had surrounded them, this time however
       there were more of them. There were only four of them before
       Nova had read the Hive Mind pages, but now there were about a
       dozen smaller phantoms plus the first and largest phantom.
       The pegasus set the book on the ground, closed, in front of her.
       Now pondering about how she should go about the next and last
       skill she wanted to learn.
       She sat in silence for a while, "Judging from the previous
       abilities learnt, each and every difficult skill has slowly
       taken a gradual toll on my body. So raising dragons from the
       dead would very likely kill me... Her thoughts were cut short
       from a slight cold shiver that ran through her body. Nova took
       the book from her wing and opened it, one extra page had
       revealed itself.
       [center]
       Phantom Solidification
       Hello First Reader,
       As another token of my thanks, I offer you another ability in
       regards to the Phantom Guardians I have sent for you. This page
       offers you the knowledge of having the ability to solidify their
       transparent forms at will. You will also have the ability to
       reverse the effects as well. Consider this skill before
       attempting the regrettable, First Reader.[/center]
       Nova pressed a hoof to the emblem, the wave of coldness which
       followed seemed mild by comparison. For the first time, the
       Phantoms around her became visible to the pony and she retreated
       a few steps, feeling both surprised and slightly fearful of what
       she sees. The second largest phantom stepped forward, a blank
       expression on its face as it stared at Nova. After realizing
       that the phantoms were no threat to her, she murmured the few
       words listed on the page in Dragon Tongue. The phantom before
       her roared in silence, but as its body gradually solidified into
       the physical world, its eerie screech boomed as it made its
       entrance. "So the Phantoms have taken form of Shade Dragons...
       interesting..." she hummed to herself before looking at the
       remains around her, "Well, looks like I won't need to resurrect
       anything after all, not when I can do this."

       Bolt looks to the shades watching them become physical he
       becomes alarmed. "Resurrect !?" The black dragon looks to Nova.
       "You planned on disturbing the rest of these poor souls. Nova is
       this very unlike you....I like it." He says in a menacing voice.
       Bolt looks Nova up and down her cute short body was now slender
       and elegant like that of Stella as if she was older more
       refined. Being worried about his mate Bolt looks up to the now
       threatening guardians and sinks into the ground becoming a
       shadow. He pops up from the ground and grabing the book
       snatching it from her feathers. "Nova I'm not returning this to
       you until we.......converse in bed. I'm worried about your
       health.You need some of me to feel more lively."

       "What use is there if after death the only thing bodies do is
       take up space?" Nova commented, pointing her hoof to all the
       resting places around her, "Before I was hesitant, I was curious
       about the potential of draconian Necromancy but now, I have have
       come to a new realization. Before I was holding back far too
       much, I can achieve so much more! Why should I hold back? You
       only live once, so why not do everything you have always wanted
       to achieve - holding back, just for the sake of 'morals' is such
       a pitiful excuse. Morals are just excuses so that ponies can
       sleep at night for the actions they have performed just before."
       Nova proclaimed as she caressed the back of the head of the only
       Shade Dragon which had solidified.
       When she felt the book leave her wing and taken some distance
       away the pegasus cough hoarsely, "Oh looking for a bit of light
       reading are we?" she said in a low, calm voice, "Go ahead, try,
       you will find nothing. Nothing but the rules are visible to
       those other than the First Reader. My knowledge and life source
       in those pages are invisible to your eyes."
       The pegasus glared at the dragon after hearing the last thing he
       said, "You dare to blackmail me into having s'ex Silver Bolt!"
       she boomed, "Such intimacy should only be performed during a
       moment of love and lust, not as an exchange for my property."
       Her Cutie Mark sparked dangerously with dark matter, some of
       which zapped off of her body and danced around Silver Bolt's
       body like electricity. It stretched and divided until all his
       limbs were locked together and restrained, "Return the book to
       me." she demanded. Before he could have a chance the respond,
       the dark matter around his body forced him to move on its own
       and walk to Nova, it didn't matter whether or not he would have
       obeyed her, the pegasus made him move like a puppet. This force
       of will power was an ability she soon became fond of. The
       pegasus snatched the book away from him with an accomplished
       smile and clambered onto Bolt's back and petted him on the back
       of the skull, "Take us back to town. Immediately. I have some
       ponies I need to talk to."

       Bolt gritted his teeth how he hated being told what to do. He
       turns and snaps at his master as she pets him like a common
       mutt. " I'VE BEEN AT DEATHS DOOR TWICE. YOU KNOW NOTHING OF HELL
       NOVENTINA." Bolt glares trying to buck off his back only to have
       no control over his limbs. "These morals you so carelessly
       regard are what keep the afterlife afloat. Without a proper
       burial the afterlife for my kin was a fate worse than hell." He
       glares swords unable to move. "I was worried about you if you
       keep using that cursed thing without a rest or at least adding
       to your lifespan with intercourse. That book will swallow you up
       until nothing is left."

       "Relax Dear, no dragons have risen from their graves." she said
       with a small smile. She thought about what he said for a moment
       before shrugging it off dismissively, "Well if that's the case
       they better hope I don't find their bodies." she let out a soft
       giggle.
       The pegasus flicked through the pages just for a casual re-cap
       on the abilities she had learned from it, "If you must insist,
       we can do that later. The longer I can live with this book, the
       better. In fact, who knows, we might even find a way for me to
       try out some Necromancy without resorting to me to sacrifice my
       own life."
       She peered over the pages and looked around them, "Why are we
       still here?" she said, the dark matter zipping around Bolt's
       body had pulled back and cracked like a whip on his hind
       quarters, "To town I say." she demanded.

       Bolt closed his eyes and enters his mind. Opening his eyes he
       finds himself once more in the black lifeless wasteland of his
       subconscious. He looks down to find he had blue scales and his
       white eyes returned to his shade of electric blue. He breaths a
       sigh of relief only to feel unnerved hearing an evil laugh. Bolt
       looks around then places his hands on his head closing his eyes.
       "No...go away your not me.....I'm good honorable....." Soon the
       Black Bolt steps forth from the shadows and gnashes his fangs.
       Black Bolt:[glow=red,2,300] "Oh but I am you Bolt the real you.
       Strip away all the moral crap all the pony poise and sense of
       justice and this is what you are. I am your true nature. You
       ever wonder why your mind looks like a black lifeless wasteland
       filled with death and decay. This is my mind you just dwell
       here."[/glow]
       Blue Bolt:"Why....why are you here.......wh...y can't I"
       Black Bolt:[glow=red,2,300]"Stand up to me ? Because your
       courage and sense of pride are my traits not yours. They gave
       you the back bone you needed while were created. Now our true
       self has awakened and without me you are nothing. I should call
       you Silver Shy after all without me that all you are."[/glow]
       Blue Bolt:"This...can't be I....I This can't be happening I'm
       not a monster deep down am I ?"
       Black Bolt:[glow=red,2,300]"You are and will be again. Now that
       Nova's dark side has awakened it has called to me. You've been
       the pilot for far too long. I want my body back. You will die
       and I will wreak death destruction and madness under the
       mistress's rule."[/glow]
       Blue stumbled back then ready his claws zooming towards Black
       trying to land a blow. Black snapped his fingers and arms shoot
       forth from the ground and grab a hold of Blue. The dead hands
       pull the blue dragon into the earth as he desperately fights to
       fend them off. Black stands over blue and smiles as he watches
       his goodness take a last gasp of air. [glow=red,2,300]"Good bye
       weakness."[/glow] Black says as the hands pull Blue into the
       Earth and the ground closes up.
       Black Bolt gets a piece of stone and craves it into a tomb stone
       with and inscription. He slams it into the ground at full force
       marking the place where Silver Bolt had died. He laughs like
       crazy his madness echoing to the far corners of his mind and
       into Nova's
       [glow=red,2,300]"Ha..ha..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"[/glow]
       The stone reads "Here Lies Silver Bolt."
       Bolt snaps back to reality at last embracing his true nature.
       "As you command my master." He says zooming off to town.

       In the mind of Nova's, Nova's soul could hear the menacing
       cackles echoing from her neighbor. Her spirit was doing no
       better, now engulfed by so many strands of the black, thorned
       vines, she was even encased in a cocoon from her mind's ceiling,
       with her face just barely pocking out.
       "He...e..." she coughed weakly, "...ee...lp."
