The Hammer of Celestia

It's has been a long and bloody year since the end of the Great Northern War. While the Empress claim victory, the peace that so many brave ponies of Equestria gave their life for still not settle on the northern land. The Herds of Chaos now leaderless, but vicious warriors of dark magic still continue raiding caravans, farms and villages of Crystal Empire.

At the first chill of autumn. Prince Shining Armor, now is the King of Crystal Empire, gathered his forces and remain Equestria troops, marching to the east of the Empire to battle Chaos one last time, before the winter come. Among his soldiers is a young Warrior Priest name Cruxader, who has an infamous reputation about his tainted bloodline and bear the Mark of Chaos itself.

--

The enemy has rally a huge numbers of Chaos warriors and marauders at the east. Just in one week, they has pillaged five villages and killed many innocent crystal ponies. But their act of evil will stop right now. For now they will feel the Wrath of the Empress. I charge into enemy without fear. For my faith in the Empress gave me strenght to defeat all enemy. And i know i'm not alone. Fight by my side is the bravest soldiers of the Equestria who ready to gave their life for the justice of the Empress. I hit one on the left then another on the right. My hammer guide my hoof to crush their skulls without hesitant. Their head blow like bubble and their blood fall like rain.

And from above, the Crystal Pegasus Knights of the Empire, the pride of Crystal Empire military, strike down enemy like comet with their lance. Pierced everything stand on their way. But that beauty image not stay for long. One of them get slain by a marauder who can warp his hoof into a sharpened spike of bone. Few brave soldiers try to take him out but only get themselves killed, poor souls.

"So you walk the path of Brutality. I pity your soul for what you has done to yourself and what you gonna become. Now let me put an end to your endless nightmare before it can begin !!!" I charge into him, raise my hammer over my head and strike down his head as hard as i can. He dodge away then bite back immediately with his blade-like hand right in my flank. And by Celestia it hurt so much ! Then come with another kick right in my face. For a moment i thought i gonna fall. But no. I can not fall now. I must stand. I must keep fighting. This wound is nothing. It's just a scratch. No big deal.

"That all you got ? I thought your god can do better then that." He angry now, good. This time is he who charge to me. For every steps he make, my heart beat fast, then faster and faster. SLAM!!! I'm not dodge that attack. I block it with my hammer, then push it away and hit him with my head. That is a stupid move i ever make today, for he wear a helmet. But damn it feel so good. Fighting like this make me understand why i exist on this world.

To fight in the name of the Holy Empress and bring her blessing to every living being, nothing more then that. Other is illusion.

I charge at him again, raise my hammer and laugh like a maniac. Some other marauders try to stand on my way but my hammer ask them to leave gently. When i almost reach him, ready to crush his skull and take the stab from his hoof. He die. Being step on by a Bloodthirster come from nowhere, now glaring at me. The giant Daemon tall like a mountain, hold a big axe in hand, it wings spread like want to cover the sky and it skin red like blood. The soldiers start to panic and fear, some already drop their weapon. Fear ? No i don't feel it. But sad is what i feel. That marauder, he not die by my hoof but by a stupid accident !? It's not fair. Even to him. He deserves to dead by my hoof. So i can send his soul to the Holy Empress. Free from the chain of Chaos like i was did.

"You... BLOODY STUPID DAEMON !!! YOU TAKE AWAY HIS CHANCE TO REDEEM. HOW DARE YOU !?" I can feel the anger grow fast in my soul. Suddenly the pain is gone, instead is another kind of feel that i'm not so strange with anymore. It's the blessing of the Empress, she share the pain with me. Her Divine power took control of my body, charge into that giant daemon without thinking. The Daemon make his move, try to chop me with his big axe but miss. I jump on his axe, run along to his hand. Then i make an amazing jump, with my hammer in my hoof, hit right on his head with all power the Empress gave me. The Daemon screaming in pain. His wound not stop bleeding.

"The Bloodthirster is wounded. Come on brothers, LET'S FINISH IT !!!" The soldiers moral is high again. They drive back the enemy with bravery and faith in the Empress. The Pegasus Knight chase the marauders until they get out of the Empire territory. Pray to Celestia, victory it's our. But i can't cheer with them. I don't feel anything. My body, i can't move. I'm falling down and hit the ground. I feel warm. My flank feel warm. Probably i lost too much blood now. My eyes become so heavy. But it won't be a matter now. At least i died for the Holy Empress......

............I miss you Mom...
