//-------------------------------------------------------// One hundred Hells -by Uberdeathninja- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Why Eldrazi don't sleep //-------------------------------------------------------// Why Eldrazi don't sleep Hedronox walked towards Ponyville. After a few miles he decided to wait till morning. He lied down on the ground an went to sleep. As Hedronox entered his usual dream, He took up his true form; a tall, featureless, octohedronal crystal. All around the eight sided Eldrazi floated objects form his past lives. among his favorites were a crude, makeshift ax, a gravity hammer, a Necromorph limb, and a Boros guild signet. He observed each of the ninety nine objects. changing from quartz to emerald as he remembered the glorious endings he achieved. As he passed over a few items though, he changed to ruby, as he remembered the longer, less violent lives or embarrassing deaths. After he finished recapping all his prior lives, he changed back to quartz. meanwhile Luna heard the crash and suddenly felt as if one hundred new beings had just entered her and her sister's domain. The creatures felt foreign in every sense of the word. She couldn't help but feel a little worried about these alien beings. When she felt them sleeping, she extended her conscious and looked around for anything unusual. After a few minutes, she found an odd being, the likes of which she had never seen before. She entered it's dreams to see if it knew anything. As Luna entered the dream, she saw many objects floating about, ranging from mutilated limbs, to weapons, to books. But what had her attention the most was a large crystal. "Is any one here?" Luna called out. "Only you. And only me." A deep booming voice sounded seemingly from everywhere. "Who are you? Show yourself!" Luna said, looking around for the voice. "I am Hedronox. And wouldn't that be redundant?" The voice spoke. Luna turned to the octohedron, which had turned from quartz to ruby, then back as she saw it. "I take it you're the giant hedron?" Luna asked. "In my true form, I am an Eldrazi, as you see before you. in my many forced reincarnations, I am a lot of things." Hedronox said. "Why are you here?" Luna inquired. "To die my final death." Hedronox replied. "Why do you want to die?" Luna asked. "Because I have to live one hundred lives to be what I truly am again. I cannot kill myself, or I would have done so sooner." Hedronox explained. "Why couldn't you just live a long happy life as all of these... Whatever these things represent?" Luna asked. "I don't think you understand. almost all of my pasts have been bloody for a reason. For Emracul's sake, one of my reincarnations was a mutant space zombie!" Hedronox said. "Why?" Luna asked. "Because the ass hat who cursed me to this fate thought one of my valid deaths wasn't valid enough." Hedronox said. "How do you remember being reincarnated so many times?" Luna asked "Eldrazi don't forget." Hedronox Explained. "You must be miserable for being forced to remember all the times you were murdered." Luna said. "Who in the name of Kozilek said I was murdered?" Hedronox said. "Well obviously you had to be murdered. How else Could your lives be cut short?" Luna said. "Most of my lives were as`warlike races. Those that weren't I had joined the military and similar factions." Hedronox said. Luna was shocked. Here before her was a being with close to a hundred lifetimes worth of combat experience. And to make matters worse it was seeking it's freedom from It's mortal carcass. "Why would you tell me this?" Luna asked. "Because Eldrazi don't lie." Hedronox explained. "Now be gone, pest." And with that, Hedronox booted Luna quite literally out of his head. As Luna left his dream, he sighed. "Ulamog, that was annoying." He said. //-------------------------------------------------------// The beginning of the end //-------------------------------------------------------// The beginning of the end It was midnight over Equestria, and the stars twinkled brightly as the moon hung lazily in the night sky. In this, the darkest and calmest of nights, not a creature stirred, not pony, nor cricket. However, this tranquility was not to last. meanwhile, as this was going on, A mysterious shooting star fired quickly over Ponyville in the night, the object moving so fast, that the thing created a sonic boom waking a few of the residents as it crashed into an area farther to the north, between Ponyville and Canterlot. As it crashed, it loosed a boom that shattered windows and eardrums alike, causing an immediate investigation by the Princesses. Little did they realize, however, the object they now sought was a package. It's contents? A human, or, rather, an eldrich entity known as an Eldrazi, turned into a human by a vengeful god. The "human" awoke with a start, and tried to remember what happened. Suddenly, it remembered: His name was Hedronox, and he had to die one more time before his curse could be lifted. His curse, you see, was to live 100 lives, and die each time by natural causes, or getting killed by someone else. However, their was a catch: He could not age, and he could not commit suicide, or he'd have to start over from the beginning of that life. With his goal in mind, he was determined to get right down to making enemies, so he could get on with his Eldrazi life. Looking around, he noticed lights in the distance. It had to be a town, but it was too late at night to make an appearance yet. He had to blow in, topple some trash cans, and resist arrest. How hard could that be? After all these years of dying and reincarnating, dying was practically second nature. It wouldn't matter soon, though. As soon as he became an Eldrazi again, he was going to be practically untouchable, as he was going to kick that god in the nuts. Then, he up and made his way to town, hoping to make as many enemies as possible. "Then destroy them after they kill me..." mumbled Hedronox to himself as he walked toward the village.
