The Immortal Warrior

Rei-Skalen let out a groan as he started waking up, feeling so tired. However, unlike before, he was aware that he wasn't alone when he heard someone shift in their armor and another take deep breath. Opening his eyes, his vision was blurry at first, but as his vision focused he saw that he was hanging in a familiar cell, with his back against the stone wall opposite of the door.

There was two guards standing in golden armor next to the door, both glaring at him. He ignored them and looked around, seeing no one important around. "We'll find out later whoever is in charge. Though your previous escape attempt was good, apparently these ponies had been prepared for such attempts" Medusa said as Rei-Skalen turned his attention to the chain still connected to his arm casing, only to see that the end of it was secured to the wall his back was against with improvised means, if the shortened chains and metal loop connecting to the wall was anything to say.

As he turned his attention down, he noticed heavy chains wrapped around his middle and connecting to the walls on both sides, making his raise a eyebrow. Apparently these ponies were smarter than they look "Really? as if we didn't figure that out the first time we met them" Lilith said sarcastically in his mind, causing him to chuckle aloud as guards looked at him with angry expressions.

"What's so damn funny?" The mare guard on the left of the door asked angrily, glaring at the human in front of her. Rei-Skalen threw his head back and started laughing, his mind having gone little insane in his time of wandering the dead planet, even with Medusa and Lilith within his body. The mare took his laughter as an insult, glaring at him as she step forward before being stopped by the other guard next to her, shaking his head to her as she glared at the human hanging from the wall.

After he finished his little insanity laughter, Rei-Skalen turned his attention to the mare, smile on his lips as he spoke in humorous tone "So, what are you two children doing here? i though that this was place for criminals, not kids who act like adults" He spoke with clear insults hanging from his words, the mare's horn (the mare is unicorn, other is earth pony) lighting up as streak of electricity struck him, spreading through his body as it burned more of his clothes and blackened his skin.

Normally, a person would normally scream in pain when this happened, but Rei-Skalen had more than enough experience with very painful treatments, so this was like someone stroking his body with feather compared to the more....painful experiences in hands of gods after his immortality kicked in.

The electricity quickly stopped as the stallion jumped on top of the mare, forcing her to stop her spell unless she hurt her partner. As she lied on the floor breathing heavily, the stallion decided to voice his opinion of her actions "You idiot! We're here to guard him, not kill him! Just look at the damage that you caused to...his.....body....." the stallion went awestruck as he had one hoof pointing at Rei-Skalen, having turned his head to look at the damage caused by the mare below him.

The mare herself blinked in confusion as she turned her head towards the prisoner, only to have her eyes widen in awe and fear as she saw him still hanging there, smile on his face as the burned and blackened flesh healed itself rapidly, leaving no other marks of electricity other than burned clothes he was still wearing.

"So. Which one of you wants to tell your...King, that you have been bodily harming me without reason? because i'm sure that whatever King you have, he wont be happy to hear about this" Rei-Skalen (along with Medusa and Lilith using his body) said in humorous tone as his eyes glowed blue and voice demonic.

As the two guards looked at him in fear, his smile spread as in his skin appeared blue lines "Fine, i'll tell him myself" he said as the metal of his bindings bend, before breaking as his hands and legs came free. The guards sprung into action, trying to take him out, but quick movement from him and both of them were bleeding in the floor, unconscious.

As he heard heard the cell door open, he crapped the chains still hanging on the side walls, ripping them off as the first guard came through the door. The first 3 guards were foolish enough to enter his cell and challenge him, but the rest did the smart thing and locked the door, so he couldn't escape. After a few tries to break the door, he threw the chains aside as he turned his attention to the guards laying in his cell floor.

"You know" Lilith started as a dark idea came to her "if you can't use your own magic, but can use the life-force of the nature to fuel your spells....what's the difference between a tree and a pony?" she questioned in amused tone as Medusa laughed at the dark idea, smile spreading in Rei-Skalen's face even more as he knelt down to the nearest guard, chuckle leaving his lips as his hand touched the unconscious guard, the red lines of magic coming from the guard and entering his body.

The guard himself started to look much older, his body draining slowly until the only empty, lifeless husk remained, which resembled a mummified corpse. "one down, four to go" Rei-Skalen said as he looked at the other guards with sadistic thoughts and dark intentions.....

• 2 hours before Rei-Skalen wakes up -

Solvarias held his hoof against his head as he felt the headache growing every second he had to listen his wife tearing into the council what she though about possible children right now. The alicorns usually lived only 150 years, so since he and his wife were barely at their twenties it was more understandable why the question had raised ire of Galaxias against the council.

His thoughts drifted as he continued to listen his wife tear the council a new one, his thoughts going to the question the minister had asked. What would they be? would they be colt or filly? how many would they have? These thoughts went on and on as he realized that it would be more or less than 50 years before his wife couldn't have foals anymore.

His thoughts were broken when his wife finally stopped her angry speech and ended the meeting, with ministers quickly leaving the room before they angered her even more. His wife let out tired sigh, visibly tired as the doors closed behind the leaving ministers. He wrapped his hoof around Galaxias, who in return gave him tired smile, her eyes almost glowing with the love she felt for him (which he returned fully).

They had planned quiet life for the next few decades while they prepared to become king and queen, only to have that hope crushed as after few months they got married, his father suddenly passed away and threw the full weight of throne into their backs in very difficult time, leaving both him and Galaxias ill-prepared to take the responsibility. His wife had taken habit of drinking to sooth her nerves, as while she appeared strong in front of their subjects, she was terrified that she would do something wrong and cause their subjects to hate them. He too shared this concern, but right now they would focus on living one day at the time.

" I am not sure how long i can deal with this. The expectations they have of us are much higher than normally, and it doesn't help that they are concerned about the future line of the throne" Galaxias said as she rose from her throne and started walking towards the door, Solvarias following behind her. There wouldn't be anything else they had to do today, so they could retire to their room earlier than usually.

"Do not worry my love, we will get through this together. No matter what they say or expect of us, we will make sure that we will do our best to rule, just as my parents once did" Solvarias said in comforting voice as they opened the doors and started walking towards their quarters, guards at the door bowing their heads in respect with "your majesties" coming from their lips.

"I know. But right now, the situation with other countries is bad because of those fools who caused all those incidents years ago. I just wish i could hang them myself" Galaxias said as both she and Solvarias were in bad situation in world politics. It was clear that the war was coming, but it would be the time that showed which species attacked the other first.

They continued to talk as they walked towards their quarters, finally having the time to speak without others watching and looking for any weaknesses. Their chat continued even after they entered their quarters, closing the doors behind them as they took their position near the windows to watch the sun on low horizon.

As they continue to watch the sunset together, they were blissfully unaware of what would soon happen....

"Alright, ready yourselves" the officer commanded as the unicorns kept an eye on the door, their horns glowing as the two guards started to open the lock of the door. There were about 20 of the guards in the tight corridor, with unicorns staying back so that they couldn't all be taken out in instance.

As the guard slowly started to turn the final key (door had 3 locks), both of the ones stationed to open the door were going to experience a whole new level of pain (to them at least) as the final lock loudly snapped open. No sooner than that, the door went flying, taking one of the guards with it while knocking the other to the ground. As the guard regained his vision, the last thing he saw was the red beam of magic heading his way before his head was blown to pieces.

The insane laughter echoed through the room as the human jumped out of the cell, his hands glowing with red magic as he sent a blast from both hands towards the advancing guards, sending them flying as they were heavily injured by the blasts. The unicorns acted quickly, sending their attacks towards the escaping prisoner, only to have their spells hit the crimson shield that formed around Rei-Skalen.

His eyes were glowing red as mad laughter echoed in the hallway, making the ponies fearful as the human quickly grabbed the fallen blades, one in each hand as he attacked the unicorns while they were focusing their magic on his shield. With agility and speed superior to ponies, he quickly took them down just before the shield fell, taking a quick look around as he finished off the ones that were still alive.

He could hear the prisoners shouting something to him, but Rei-Skalen ignored them as he continued to ran down the hallway, his blades ready to soak them on the blood of anyone who dared to step in his way. The guards tried desperately to stop his escape, but their training didn't include trying to stop an immortal warrior with skill, speed, agility and intellect much higher than their own and was carrying a set of blades and using magic to kill the ones that offered some resistance.

Both Medusa and Lilith could feel the primal side of predator taking over as they watched through the eyes of their husband, who was killing the ponies who had captured them left and right. However, if they were once again recaptured, they both knew that they would have a lot of explaining to do to whoever was the ruler of this place, though their excuses were already set in place.

This opportunity however came sooner than they realized as Rei-Skalen turned around the familiar corner, quickly stopping as he came face to face with two very angry looking alicorns, both of their horns glowing as they pulsed with magic stronger than most demigods they had met, and in their current state, Rei-Skalen couldn't take down even an Arch-mage, less more likely being able to take two high-leveled demigods.

"Oh shit" The words left his lips as both of the ponies fired their magic, which hit the shield Rei-Skalen rapidly but up....

...only to have the blasts break the shield like hammer breaking glass as he was sent flying backwards to the wall. It was painful experience for him, as the blasts REALLY hurt, making him bite his teeth down just to keep the scream of pain coming out. As the he started falling to the floor, he was suddenly wrapped in golden magic field as the black fields pulled the blades away from him by force, with golden field painfully forcing him against the wall.

He could only swallow as the two alicorns walked to him, their expressions furious "you have some explaining to do, creature" The golden one said in angry tone as the black one powered her horn for another blast, just in case it was needed.

So, it was another of those days? yeah, start out bad, end up worse.....
