Flames of Retribution

  Solaria the young alicorn mare coughed blood as her spell was finished, she fell to her side needing two draconi soldiers to help hold her up. Cadence as well as shining armor looked confused, Inferna rushed to the side of thwe white mare as she continued to cough and convulse "She over did it...take her inside and keep a firm watch over her."  Inferna barked her orders and her soldiers obeyed moving the mare inside. Discord looked like he just wanted to vanish at that moment he turned his back "This is far from over Discord, but you've done enough for now, never forget...you double cross me and there will be no where to hide." Inferna seemed to be making that point VERY clear.

   After discord vanished Inferna looked to the captives. "Shadow scar!" the queen called for her trusted commander.

"Yes my lady?" the young Dracony mare rushed up as she was called she looked similar to the queen only her mane was black with red streaks, her weapon of choice was a short sword and a small crossbow. her armor reflected her rank with it's diamond trim.

"Have half the Caribou soldiers executed in front of the other half then cripple the rest and send them back to their king." Inferna ordered with hate in her voice.

Shadow Scar hesitated "G...grandmother.." she started.

Inferna's eyes fell on Scar "That is an order!" she barked.

Shadow Scar recoiled and nodded "y...yes my lady." Shadow scar did as she was told. giving the order out to the troops. Inferna moved away from the group to check on solaria; leaving Scar to deal with everything else. "unbind the black collared mares, get the red and purple collars up here by the heart it might be able to partially restore their minds. Also clear the lava fields and move the rest of the troops into the city to set up defenses the Caribou will likely strike back hard and fast." as the orders came they were obeyed without question.

  Cadence slowly found her fogged mind clearing as did many of the corrupted stallions now that the heart had been returned to it's former state the corruption was fading from their minds. it's effects however dwindled with range the further from the heart the lesser the effect. Shadow Scar moved with the sweep teams to find any other survivors that may be hiding.

   Inferna stood over Solaria the poor girl had passed out from the backlash of her spells. "I will hunt down every last one of these vermin and teach them the harsh lesson of what happens when you mess with Equestria, for every mare enslaved i will see ten of them burn." The queen was clearly blinded with rage. She moved to a window as the main force of the Dracony started arriving in the city. "we will burn away this injustice, and punish all whom stand in our way." The queen started laughing darkly "Then we will take this land under our wing...it's only natural they will still be weakened from both the war and what has been done to them."
