"Scootaloo!" cried Sweetie belle crossing her arms "we're definitely lost!" she said and turns to Apple bloom " I told y'all to take the left turn but no "lets take the right turn to get to zecoras house" y'all didn't listen to me!" they argued. (Scootaloo is a 16 year old Pegasus blooded girl with fuschia colored and short hair with orange colored wings, who wants to be like Rainbow Dash, Sweetie belle is a 15 year old unicorn blooded girl with long light pink and light purple colored hair and dresses like her sister Rarity, Apple Bloom is a 16 year old ordinary pony blooded or farm pony to be exacted who also has long hair but hers is dark red. she is as strong as her sister Apple jack and she has a brother whose name is Big Macintosh. she basically likes wearing blue overalls. non of them have birth marks yet so they wanted to see if their friend Zecora whom is a zebra blooded woman that just talks in rhymes and lives in the Everfree forest, could help them but they took a wrong turn.) "well if you both could keep your mouth shut I'll be able to-" "did y'll see that?" said Apple Bloom interrupting Scootaloo "what was it?" asked Sweetie belle "I don't know but it looked like-"
"look at this" Scootaloo pointed to a cave with wired pointy rocks
"was that there before?" asked Sweetie belle
suddenly a horrible smell came out of the cave like if the cave would be exhaling "um...girls?" shivered Apple Bloom "I don't think that's a cave" she said walking backwards "that's a..." she stop as the cave seemed to be closing and starting to move. The girls gasped at the beast "CRAGADILE!!" she screamed "RUN!!" they yelled. As they tried to out run it the cragadile seemed to stop "did..did we lose it?" she said gasping for air "where did it go?" asked Scootaloo
"Don't know I hope-" a loud roar of the cragadile and interrupted Sweetie bell "that sounds far from where we are" she replied "maybe it found something else to eat?" she she looking at the other two Apple Bloom gasped "what if an other person or Zecora!?" she cried "we have to help her". "but what if it not Zecora and it's just a timber wolf?" asked Scootaloo "y'all don't know that now do you" the girls stayed silent "I thought so... now come on lets go see" she said as the girls followed her.
The girls kept following the tracks of fallen trees and scratch marks on the ground. suddenly a puddle of blood was on the ground and the girls stopped "do you think this is Zecora's blood?" asked Sweetie bell "I...I hope not but at lest we know that it is a person right?" said Scootaloo, just than a bush began to shuffle "how's here" jumped Apple Bloom "move and you die" a voice called out through the forest. Scootaloo immediately picked a thick tree branch and held it with her two hands standing in front of Sweetie Bell and Apple Bloom "why don't you just come out here and fight me!" suddenly a tall shirtless boy with a bloody scar going down his left and short black hair walked out of a bush holding a black sword in his left hand and carrying Zecora on his back "ZECORA!!" shouted Sweetie bell "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!!" the boy put down Zecora "I saved her before some wolfs and that thing could kill her" he said putting leaves on her cuts and bit marks "this should stop the bleeding for now but we need to get her to the hospital are she'll die for losing too much blood" he picked up Zicora again and told Scootaloo to take his sword "we must hurry" he said looking back "I didn't kill that thing".
"we have to go back to Ponyville" said Sweetie bell to Apple Bloom "I reckon I know the way" said Apple Bloom pointing to the left "come on follow me".
A few minuets past as they walked through the forest and made it to Ponyville "where's the hospital?" said the boy "over there...hurry!" cried Sweetie bell as they walked inside the hospital a nurse put Zecora in a bed and she was immediately took her with the Doctor. "I hope she'll be alright" said Apple Bloom with tires in her eye.
"How are you?" asked Sweetie bell looking boy covered in his and Zicora's blood. The boy stud up and walked towards a window "all I can remember is that my name is Deimos" he began "I woke up in a dark cave with Cell doors...for some reason were open. I didn't want to be there so I decided to leave" he told his whole story before he met the three girls. He said that he found Zecora with bite marks on her shoulder "where did you find the sword?" interrupted Scootaloo "I saw an old man with a pointy hat, stab the sword to the ground and point to some doors where I was able to escape"
"who was the man?" asked Apple Bloom looking at the sword
"I wasn't able to see his face after he pointed he vanished and-" "family of Zecora?" called the nurse "that's us" answered Deimos standing up "how is she?" he asked "she's fine. she lost a lot of blood but thanks to you four she made it in time" the nurse look at the Deimos seeing his cuts and bit marks "do you need help with your cuts" she asked "no I'll be fine thank you" he said walked out taking his sword from Scootaloo "come on lets fallow him we'll come back to see how Zecora later" said Sweetie bell the two girls nodded and walked after Deimos waving goodbye to the nurse.
the girls fallowed Deimos all over ponyville "what do you think he's up to?" ask Scootaloo pecking her head out of the corner of a house "don't you know it's wrong to spy on people" said Deimos turning his head towards the girls "where can I find some clothes around here?" he says smiling "you live around her do you not?" he says putting sword over his shoulder, the three girls look at each other and smiled. The girls took him inside Rarity's boutique "wait here" said Sweetie bell "I'll see if I could fine something that you can ware" Deimos took a set putting his sword in his lap "what kind of sword is it?"ask Apple Bloom "it's a Elucidator" he answered handing it to her "it's not as heavy as I expedited" she said carrying it with her right hand and swinging it around "your stronger than you look" he said smiling at her
"Me and my big sister go apple bucking at our home in sweet apple acres"
"sweet apple acres?" he said as he raised his eyebrow eyebrow "you work at your house like a chore your do?" he asked
"yep it runs in the family" she answered " me and my big sister punch, kick the apple tree but my bigger brother Big Macintosh pulls the broken trees that fall down"
"so everyone in your family have to do chores is that is?" he asked standing up and beginning to stretch. "Hey?" he said looking at Apple Bloom "why don't you have a birthmark?" he asked. Apple Bloom looked down not wanting to answer "oh don't worry I don't have one either" he said confuting her "well all three of us don't have a birthmark and we try so hard to find it but were not good at anything" she said crossing her arms on her chest. A few seconds later Scootaloo and Sweetie bell were running down stairs with black clothes "here" they both said hand it to him "put it on over in the dresser". Without a word Deimos walked to the dresser "gimme a second" he said. Few seconds pasted "alright" he said "I'm done" as he was wearing black pants with a black belt that had a large silver buckle, a black V-necked shirt that was worn underneath a black trench-coat with gray lining going down the sleeves and black boots with silver plates to protect his shins. He has a silver plate worn on his coat, which was on his left side, and a pair of black fingerless gloves. He wears a strap, that goes over his right shoulder and under it to wrap around his left side, that holds his sword. "How do I look?" he said crossing his arms "well looks better than being shirtless" said Scootaloo smiling. "Did you make this?" he asked Sweetie bell "nope my sister did she's a designer" she said "that was supposed to be for her boyfriend but she just left it so someone would buy it... but no luck yet" Deimos looked at the clothes and smiled "I'll pay her when I get the money but right now I need to know where the library is" he asked the girls look at each other and said "we'll take you" as they walked out of the boutique.
"what do you need to go to the library?" asked Sweetie bell locking the door behind her "I just need to know something" he said looking at the other stores and looking down at the ground "were here!" said Sweetie bell loudly "but the doors are locked" she said sadly. Apple Bloom tried to push the door open "I told you it's locked did you not listen" said Sweetie bell frowning at Apple Bloom "well what y'all think we should do now-" a loud crash in which made the three girls up in fright was made by Deimos kicking the door "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" cried Scootaloo "what?" Deimos answered as he shrugged his shoulders "it was already open" he walks in with a smile on his face "were's the librarian?" he asked looking around "obviously not here or the door would have been open don't you think?" Scootaloo responded growling under her breath "what kind of book are you looking for?" asked Sweetie bell looking around "there's so many"
"I can see that" answered Deimos looking at a tree trunk with a small statue of a stallion head "was this ever moved?" he asked pointing at it "no... I don't reckon you can move that?" said Apple Bloom leaning her head to the left "hmm.." said Deimos. He quickly grabbed grip on the trunk and pulled it out "what are you doing?" asked Sweetie bell putting her hands on her mouth "we'll get in trouble" "you didn't know there was a book under here?"
"WHAT?!" the three girls looked surprised to find a gold covered book in the hole where the tree trunk was "who's is it?" asked Scootaloo grabbing the book from the ground "this is star swirl the bearded history book" he said taking the book from her hands "what do you need it for?"
"there was a peace of paper in the cell that I was in. It said something about this book having to do something with me" he said glancing at the book "well?" said Sweetie bell "what are we waiting for?". Deimos nodded his head. As he opened the book he know something was wrong "this book is empty" he said "WHAT?!" the girls said "yeah there is no words in it" he responded showing the girls the book.
"what a shame" said a voice behind them. as they turned around they were surrounded by a crowed of diamond dog blooded men "how are you?" said Deimos standing in front of the girls "they're diamond dogs" said Sweetie bell hiding behind Deimos "they attacked my sister and her friends and made her their slave"
"what do you want from us?!" Deimos asked "he's the one Rover" said one of the solders whispering in the leaders ear "are you Deimos?" said Rover. Deimos didn't say anything for a few seconds "what is it to you?" he finally said "we are the diamond dogs we were ordered to find you and bring you with our master" he said with a smile on his face "if you come with out struggling we will leave you friends alone" said Rover with a smile "but if you try to struggle..." Rover stopped and snapped his fingers soon the girls were grabbed but three men that burst out of the ground soon the girls were behind Rover "we will kill your friends" he said putting his sword on Sweetie bells neck. Deimos clenched his teeth and fist "dame these basters" he thought "taking little girls as hostage" anger filled his body he looked at the ground "okay" he said pulling out his sword and throwing it on the grown in front of Rover "I'll give in" Deimos put his hands in front of him and a guard hand cuffed him "walk" said the guard pushing Deimos away "Rover" said a guard "what did we do about the girls?" he asked . Rover just gave him a smile and said "lose the crowed than do what ever you wish with them" The pack of horny men whistled and cackled and did as they were told. Deimos closed his eyes tightly he looked back seeing the six guards walking inside of the library with the girls struggling to get away.
three guards grabbed the girls and tied them up and began to grabbed the girl's behind. They tried her best to resist, but they were just too weak to fight back. The three girls started to cry, looking at Deimos for help. "keep walking!" the guard shouted at him grabbing his hair and pulling it. quickly Deimos snapped. He turned around and headbutted the guard in the nose causing the man to fall backwards, two other men came trying to attack Deimos by pulling out their swords. The first one swung his sword, Deimos dogged it and grabbed the guard's hand and braking it. Before the second guard was able to attack. Deimos broke the chains and grabbed the guards head and twisted it braking his neck. Deimos ran at full speed towards the girls. A guard took a grip on Deimos's sword, before he could swing an owl flew out of the window of the library and attacked the guard with it's sharp claws scratching his left eye out. Deimos quickly took advantage of this opportunity and punched him in the jaw left and right. the guard dropped the sword. Deimos instantly grabbed the sword and swigged cutting the guard's head off. Before Deimos could turn he was dog piled by half of the pack.
Inside of the library a guard was grabbing Sweetie bell's breast while she and the others were tied up "NO!" she cried "DON'T TOUCH ME!" the guard would just smile "don't worry little girl" he said unzipping his pants "you'll enjoy this-". The guard stopped when he felt a sharp pain coming from his back. He coughing out blood when Deimos pulled out the sword "DON'T TOUCH MY FRIENDS!" he yelled. his left arm had scratches and bruises, his mouth was dripping a bit of blood. In a few seconds the other four charged him. Deimos grabbed the guard he killed by the neck and throw him only hitting two, one pulled out his sword and swigged. Deimos blocked the sword in his right hand and with his left grabbed the guard by the throat and pull him to the left where another guard stabbed is friend. Deimos pushed both of them then cut them both in half, one of the guard that was hit by the dead body ran off with Rover. Deimos didn't mind them running off and cut loose Scootaloo "wait" she said "that was only five...where's the sixth one-" Scootaloo stopped. she was stabbed by the last guard, Deimos turned after freeing the two girls. the guard tried to flee leaving behind the dagger but was to slow for Deimos and was grabbed by the throat.
"SCOOTALOO!!" the two girls cried "you're going to be okay!" cried Sweetie bell Deimos throw the diamond dog against the wall and stabbed his hand on the wall "don't move" he said in a dark voice and turned his attention to Scootaloo. taking the out the dagger from Scootaloo's back she began to cough up blood "am...am I going to-"she asked "NO YOU WON'T !" yelled Deimos "HOLD ON JUST...HANG IN THERE" he began to put pressure on her wound trying to top the bleeding.no use "dammit" he said under his breath with a mad face. later a laugh was heard in the library the. diamond dog was the one laughing "you all are pathetic" he said with a smile. The diamond dog’s voice was rusty, like a claw dragging down a chalkboard. "you can't save her" he began "she will die in your hands and there's nothing you can-" Deimos punched him in the jaw and pulled out the sword. Deimos quickly throw him across the room and dashed towards him kicking him and punching nonstop. The guard tried to run towards the girls but was soon grabbed by Deimos "you hurt one of them" he growled "how dare you try to hurt them again!" he yelled and a light blue aura began to glow around him. he began to feel a strange power like never before.
Suddenly the power began to bring him memories of his past which made him fall to his knees. he began to grin in pain dropping the guard and his sword to cover his ears "well, well, well" the guard began "looks like you're not feeling well" he began to walk towards Deimos "why don't you lay down!" he shouted kneeing Deimos in his face making him get close to the girls "know watch as she dies" he said "and you will die" he picked up Deimos's sword and walked towards him "with your own sword" he lifted the sword and swung down on Deimos. soon the the blue aura became red orange flames "no...you...won't !" he yelled stopping the blade from hitting him with his right leg he kicked the diamond dog in the gut pulled the sword away and with his right hand pierced the man's heart out. The diamond dog began to cough up blood and said his last words "he...will k...kill everything in his path" before dying he gave a wicked smile and Deimos pulled out his hands throwing the dead body outside and began to walk towards Scootaloo.
"She...she's dead" said Apple Bloom with tears coming down her cheek with out a word Deimos fell to his knees and put his left hand on Scootaloo's wound letting the flames go inside of her "Govey Ek Ahraan" he said closing his eyes soon the flames healed Scootaloo's wound but the wound was on Deimos the blood stopped and it quickly closed "what was that?" asked Apple Bloom "what?" he responded "what did you say?" Deimos finally confessed "I was able to remember my pasted...but only the part where I was locked up. I can't remember anything more" he looked at the flame that soon filled up the scar on his left eye "this scare wasn't made by that cragadile" he sighed "I was given this scar when I was born...someone locked me in a dark dungeon" he said closing his eyes "I was held there for many years I can't remember for how long" he stopped, silences filled the room as they waited of Scootaloo to awaken. He finally got up and carried the girl to the second floor and placed her in a bed. "you two stay here and look after her" he said walking out "I'll go clean up outside" he closed the door leaving the girls in the room.
"you think she'll be alright" asked Apple Bloom sitting next to the bed "I hope so" answered Sweetie Bell "Deimos took her wound...but how?" she began to think "hey do you have the book we found?" she asked Apple Bloom "yeah why?" "let me see it" Apple Bloom pulled out the book from her overall and hand it to Sweetie bell "what are you doing?" she asked "watch". a lime green aura covered her hands and lifted the book "Viir...Z...Zii!" she shouted. soon the book opened and and the words began to appear "wha-...what did you say?" asked Apple Bloom her eyes wide open looking surprised at what she has seen.Sweetie bell on the other hand huffed for air, not binning able to talk, "Spike...sh-showed...me how to do it" she took a deep breath "he told that if a book had no words on it it's either not done or it's under a spell" she expand "if this is Star swirl's book than he put it under a spell" she picked up the book from the bed and began to look at it "should we read it?" she asked Apple Bloom "don't know but we need to know who Deimos really is" she answered opening the book and began to read "alright he goes everything" said Sweetie bell "to who is reading the young prince needs to be protected, he doesn't know who he is, he must know his purpose for why he was locked up in tartarus. you must tell him..." the girls kept reading "he is has half dragon blood and half alicorn blood-" "just like the princesses!" Sweetie bell interrupted "shh" replied Apple bloom "his father chained him in tartarus because because the prince would be stronger than the king I tried to protect him but I was to weak. But I gave him something a scar on this left eye that will allow him to become stronger and resist wound. he will become very powerful and enamels will want to take him has a weapon . he is known as a "Dovahkriid" or in other words a "Dragon slayer" he can heal other people's wounds by taking it but the wounds go to him... it might not hurt him although deadly wounds can kill him. he was a monster to his father and is why he was thrown away to tartarus I must help him, if your reading this you must tell him you must-"
"what else dose it say?" asked Sweetie bell. Apple Bloom flied "that's it" she answered "there anti any more" the girls seemed confused. suddenly a soft "hum" came from the bed "Scootaloo!" shouted Sweetie bell. Scootaloo began to awake "wha-...what happened?" she asked "Deimos healed you." began Apple Bloom "he took your wound but didn't wake up." Scootaloo looked at her shirt it was covered in blood with a tare where the dagger pierced her stomach but didn't say a word "where is he?" she asked "he's cleaning outside or that what he said" the door opened and Deimos walked in with a glass of water and bringing it to Scootaloo "hey" he said in a relief voice "how do you feel?" he asked sitting down and taking off his black trench-coat. his black shirt underneath was torn and ripped but there were no wounds. "I feel better" she answered looking at the scar on his left eye going down his back and making a whirl on his left shoulder "how did that happen?" she asked him
"I don't know" he responded looking at the floor. Sweetie bell looked at the book "Apple Bloom and I..." she began "we know your life story". the room fell silent "how?" asked Deimos not looking up "the book was under a spell" began Sweetie bell "my sisters boy friend, Spike showed me how to do a braking spell in dragon language-" she caught her words remembering that he was dragon slayer with dragon blood as well. A few seconds leader the front door of the library opened and the creaking could be heard from up stairs "what was that?" asked Scootaloo getting out of the bed and walking out the door. Deimos quickly put on his coat and grabbing his sword "Scootaloo,are you there?" soon the girl ran back inside "guys!" she gasped "Princess Twilight and the others are back" she whispers " and Princess Luna is with them"
