The Immortal Warrior

Truthfully? It was quite fun for Rei-Skalen to see two demigods glaring at him in anger, standing in front of him while he was being chained to the metal chair with anti-magic runes carved on the floor around him, forming a circle in which he was in middle of it. Medusa and Lilith both were laughing hard inside Rei-Skalen's head as the ponies finished setting everything up, their weapons pointing towards him while the unicorns made sure he couldn't escape. He had been moved from his worthless prison cell to large room, with other furniture having been moved out so they could chain him in middle of windowless room, which had smooth surfaces made from granite.

It was clear that this room was most likely a guest room, which had been transformed into a makeshift prison/interrogation room, until they finished building or preparing him a better prison. However, while the situation earlier with running into the rulers was more serious, currently it was starting to look more funny as the time went by due to the fact that two Alicorns were glaring at him, which looked ridiculous, especially when the golden one was in fact a stallion.

Anyway, ignoring the hilarious situation he was in (once you live six thousand years in empty planet, with two females inside your head, your standards of amusement get quite low), he knew he was in some serious trouble due to the fact that he had killed few of the 'guards' that had been both inside and outside of his prison cell (dungeon, prison? there were so many words for the same place, that it didn't matter anymore if he switched between them).

So then, it seemed like it was time to get serious, as the golden Alicorn stepped forward and spoke in royal, arrogant tone " Now then, we have yet to introduce ourselves to each other. I am King Solvarias, the co-ruler of Alicornious" He said as the black Alicorn stepped next to him "And I am Queen Galaxias, the co-ruler of Alicornous and wife of Solvarias. Now, I demand that you reveal your name, creature, before explaining why you have intruded our lands and killed our ponies" She said in bitter tone, almost like it was an insult towards Rei-Skalen.

"You may call me....Rei-Skalen, your Highnesses" Rei-Skalen answered, deciding that using the name 'legion' was worthless at this point "And I did not intrude your lands willingly, I was forced into them by the rip in the void that stole me from my world and send me here. As for your precious foals....I mean soldiers" he corrected himself as he saw the glare of the Queen, knowing that the insult hit home as it was intended "They attacked me first when I was introducing myself to them and about to ask where I was. When I woke in your dungeon, I presumed that you hostile towards those that you did not like and decided that my stay here would be damaging to my health. The deaths of your ponies were unfortunate side-effect of my attempts to escape" Rei-Skalen finished his little story as the two royals shared the look of understanding about his explanation.

Too bad neither of them knew he was lying through his teeth, and the deaths of those guards were simply for his own amusement. He could have easily stayed silent and waited to explain his situation, before convincing into being released. But where would the fun be in the easy, non-violent path?

"Of course, I apology for the hard treatment of my soldiers, but the tensions have been high with the other countries for several years, so it wasn't a complete surprise that they acted as such. However, while there has been a clear misunderstanding between us, the death of our guards is still an issue that needs to be solved, as well as what to do with your presence in this world. However, as for now, the knowledge of your presence has spread across the city thanks to the careless guards, which has caused some concern among the nobles -" Rei-Skalen decided to interrupt the golden faggotry in front of him "And now you need to calm them down, which means you either have to have me killed, or under control, am I correct?" he asked, receiving a nod from the dark queen.

"You are correct, which leaves us two possible choices. Either we declare you a public threat and execute you, or we will have to come to an agreement on how you will repay the deaths of our guards and the injuries you made to some, as well as the release of other prisoners. The first option is much easier to take, but the second is morally right one, due to the unfortunate events that has led us to this point" Galaxias finished speaking as she kept close eye on the 'human' still strapped on the chair.

It wasn't like she didn't believe him, since his explanation was matching pretty much to what the guards had reported, though their report of the human being possessed by some foul demon was false, as both the unicorn veterans and herself (with her husband of course) had checked him completely. There hadn't been any signs of foul magics or demonic possessions, even though he used different type of magic. And yet, she still had the feeling that he wasn't telling everything....

Rei-Skalen though about the offer for a moment, thinking any way he could repay them that wouldn't leave him as either a slave or an experiment. Of course, with two other beings inside your head, that job is easy, but to find the fun way to do it is little more complicated.

"Offer immortality?" Medusa suggested, her voice hinting amusement at possible outcomes of such offer. Of course, the ponies couldn't kill Rei-Skalen even if they tried, since the gods of their homeworld had taken extra care to make sure he wouldn't lose his immortality....too bad it came back to haunt them.

"No, such an offer is far too important to waste in a small thing like this....maybe we should offer our services as an warrior or adviser, since we have more experience than they. After that, we can slowly climb up the ladder of success and reach the position where we can get the resources needed for our new bodies, with more than enough authority to send those who wish to stop us crying away" Lilith said with satisfied voice.

"well then, your royal highnesses" Rei-Skalen said aloud, disrupting the small chat the two royals were having about which choice to pick "I believe what I have to offer could please both you and the nobles that you need to please" He said as he started explaining 'his' offer of becoming either a warrior or adviser under them.....

• Few hours later -

"Finally, some free movement" Rei-Skalen said to himself as he rubbed his arms, the guards around him glaring at him, even as they moved through the hallways behind the sergeant, heading towards the temporal quarters of his before the more permanent ones could be arranged. The royals had made a hard bargain, as twenty years in the military would wipe out his deeds from the eyes of the public. There were other conditions and agreements of course, but those were just about specific facts about his services under the two royal alicorns.

As they walked through the hallways in slow pace, Rei-Skalen decided to take in the sights they passed. The glorious looking hallway, the paintings on the wall, the beautiful landscape of the night below moonlight....It was beautiful, reminding him the old days of his home. He could feel the ache in his chest as the feelings began to surface, though he held them down as he continued to take in everything he could see with best poker face he could hold.

Not so big surprise, both Medusa and Lilith decided to remain silent as their own thoughts were in turmoil, both missing the old days. Six thousand years was a long time to wander an empty rock, and even though they could mask their feelings perfectly, the sight of real life almost made them cry. No more empty wasteland, no more depressing, lifeless skies or hard, cold wind, no more utter darkness....it was enough to make the feelings rise to the surface, as they had only now risen to the surface, buried deep within themselves.

As they finally arrived at the door of his temporal quarters, the sergeant turned towards Rei-Skalen, looking at him a while before slowly opening the final chains around his waist. As the guards continued to glare at him, Rei-Skalen turned towards the door (which was guarded by 4 guards), before opening it and entering his temporal quarters without a word being said to the sergeant.

The room was quite small, clearly a private bedroom for possible diplomats that were bipedal, as the bed was bigger than what he had seen earlier. There was also a table on the side, though the rest of the room had been emptied with exception of the nice rug on the floor. Turning towards the the guards outside, he told them to have a great night before closing the door, hearing the small snap of the lock as it snapped locked.

Turning around, he looked at the room once again, small frown on his face as he noticed there wasn't any windows on the room. Not that he would attempt to escape, it was just that he enjoyed the night sky much more than the glare of the sun in the day. Letting out a sight, he slowly took of his clothes and folded them, leaving him in his underwear as he set the folded clothes on the table (so that they would be repaired later) before making himself comfortable at the smooth, soft bed with velvet coverings and fluffy pillows, which was surprisingly warm (not from the body heat of other people, just generally warm).

He was quite soon asleep, as sleeping in his armor in rock surface for last six thousand years was pure hell......It was good to have a nice, warm bed again.....
