Loss and a battle begins

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

In an underground cavern houses a lone and giant crystal tree. The tree bears out many branches, but what stands out are 5 branches that lead to the tree's center. These branches each bear a single gem, along with the center of the tree.

Two figures enter the cavern. They are an unusual pair. The larger of the two is notably the elder, possibly being in her mid or late 20's. Her coat of pure white compliments her ample curves, her mane and appears to be made of an odd rainbow array, this array primarily consist of: pink turquoise and blue. What is more so odd about this mane and tail is that they constantly flow as if wind were blowing. Her eyes are a dazzling purple. Her body is bedecked in golden armor: her arms in gauntlets, her legs and chest armored up, only leaving her head exposed. Her back holds her large white wings and her, large scythe, she is currently wearing a necklace of gold adorned with a purple gem at its center.

The smaller of the two, possibly being or between the age of 12 and 15. Her small frame, is more appearing of a “tomboyish” figure, her chest holds no real girth along with the rest of her body. Her coat is dark blue. Her eyes a piercing cyan, and her mane as blue as sapphires, like the other alicorn's it is flowing as if there were wind, unlike the other alicorn, hers appears to be made of the starry sky. Her small frame is bedecked in an armor of an unknown black metal, her armor covers her entire body, though it reveals her face and mane, but instead of leggings hers is of a metal skirt. She wears a pendant of the same material, embroiled with a white moonstone in the center. Her back currently sport only her wings, her sword in the scabbard at her side. Though both appear young, they both give off the feeling of incredible magical power.

“The elements of harmony” said the white alicorn as she approaches the tree, placing her armored hand upon its trunk.

“Dost thou think they will be enough sister?” Asks the blue alicorn.

“I hope so Luna, I hope so. Our little ponies have suffered enough under the reign of Discord. It is time to end this once and for all” said Celestia determinedly.

3 gems float from the tree into Celestia's satchel and the remaining 3 to Luna's.

"Let’s hope this works sister" said Luna.

"Let’s hope" said Celestia as they leave the cavern.

*Meanwhile at night far away, in the Loki clan Village*

"I hope this works" said Discord drawing out a bag of seeds.

He cooks a good portion of them in his lion hand and looks at the audience.

"What? a guy’s got to eat" said Discord in a hushed whisper.

"I also don’t want these to hurt them" said Discord as he points to his sleeping family, each snugly wrapped in wendigo skins, on there beds.

"It will work; they can never defeat me anyway. These are just a little insurance. This is the almost the end of this tactic of mine anyhow." Discord thinking of what he has done.

"They have suffered enough; she has gone through enough" said Discord quietly looking over at his mate, as she soundly sleeps.

"This will be the last day, and then we can continue on with our happy life. Plus I still need to teach the kids some of my skills he says looking at his 3 sleeping kids. Barb and Screwball sleeping soundly ,Nox appearing to be having troubled dreams, Discord goes over placing his hand on his son, whispering in his frill, soothing the child.

"It will be fine"Discord tells himself" he still leaves a letter to Redmoon, it vanishes and will appear again if he is not to return.

"I will be fine; nothing is going to happen, I will see them again soon, happy and healthy." Discord repeats like a mantra, as he heads back to the chaotic portion of land known as Equestria.

Having traveled he sits on his throne, to sleep.

"It will all be alright." said Discord as he begins to realign the reality of the land as it was before he meddled ,a slow and unnoticeable rate, starting from the outreaches of the land.

*It is now a few days after Nox’s tenth hatch day, the people had celebrated amazingly, the young drake now toting a sack of rare gems, a gift given to him by his father.*

“So why do you think dad wanted to have a family party out here in this weird place?” asks Nox Onyx as he tosses a gem into his mouth, chewing quietly. The young drake is now 10 years old. He is below average height at about 4ft 6 inches. He has a slender frame for someone his age though he eats like a starved hog. He is currently wearing a white hide leggings and tunic. His back is wingless like Barb's and his mother. He is an oddity with his eyes, and tail. Neither of his eyes seeming to belong to a dragon. The right one is a pale blue and the other a crimson red. He has rounded purple spines and scales as dark as the blackest night. His tail is longer than most drakes, but not broad like most dragons, and is more of a long whip then a tree trunk dragon tail. It currently is going ballistic. His sword is strapped to his side. His back is wingless.

"What wrong with your tail Nox?" asks Barb annoyed and backing away to avoid getting hit.

"Sorry I have no idea what’s wrong with it" Nox said grabbing it to try and steady it to no avail.

Barb, now 12 is a female dragon. Her tail is like most dragons broad and long, and her body is in its development stage, she has a tomboyish figure. Her eyes are emerald green and draconic in nature, her spines are like her brothers rounded, but his are the same purple as her scales while hers match her eyes. She eats a lot like her brother, and with just as much decency. She is currently wearing her tunic in black and her leggings the same way. She is the same height as her brother, and has a quiver strapped to her wingless back, her short bow at her side.

Nox's tail then promptly smacks Barb across the face.

"Why you little!" Barb angrily jumps at her brother, a cloud of dust appearing around them as they begin fight.

The two are now fighting, and Nox is losing, BAD

Eris sighs, as she grabs the two by the scruffs of their clothing, to end the fighting and keep them moving.

"Thank you Eris." said Redmoon, not even looking behind her.

ris Is like her father a myriad of various creature, she appears to be made of the same mix but is noticeably and obviously female. Her body is budding ,and is becoming as ample as her mother's. A black staff is currently on her back. Why she is not being her true self as she usually is, is anyone’s guess. She is at 6 ft 6 a bit shorter than her mother.

"You two behave." said Redmoon firmly. She is a 75 year old drake. Drakes age differently from other races so she has the appearance of a drake in her early to mid-20s. Her spines are wavy and as white, her scales a deep red. Her eyes match Barbs in color, emerald green. She is at 7ft, about average height for a Loki. Her form is tall and ample showing much curve and her tail is that of a normal drake. Her tunic and leggings Is a deep blue ,and is wearing a silver band around her ankle. Her sickles are strapped at her sides.

“To bad uncles Rio and Diablo couldn’t come” said Nox offering some his gems to his Sisters to apologize.

“You know those two, always hardworking “ Barb accepting fire ruby.

“Or there laying back and drinking Grog, either or.” Eris munching on a blue pearl.

“You know those to love their work, and their drinks.” said Redmoon.

5 minutes later

“Are we there yet.” asks Nox Onyx.

"No" said Redmoon.

"Are we there yet?" asks Nox Onyx smiling.

"No" said Redmoon not even losing patience, the same can't be said for Barb and Eris.

"Are we there yet?" asks Nox Onyx again.

12 more Are we there yet? later

"Are we there ye-,"Eris turning him around for a moment to get a good look at her and Barb's faces and what they promise.
Nox abruptly shuts up.

“Were here” said Remoon pointing ahead towards him, right there near that spring of chocolate milk, and cotton candy clouds was Discord sitting on his throne, his eyes closed as if in concentration.

Two figure approach the ruler of Equestria.

"Kids down" Redmoon firmly telling them to hide in a bush, they fall in and hide, Redmoon moving stealthily

*Meanwhile out of ear range of the gaggle of drakes and a draconquess*

“There! That should do it. Though I did make sure that no pony could got hurt during my reign. Chaos I may be but not cruel. ”Discord said Out loud

“I think the ponies would argue differently." said Celestia and Luna harmoniously, their eyes burning with determination.

"Ah if it isn't my favorite two sisters!" Discord smiling and eating the odd black seeds.

“Want some?” asks Discord his arm stretching like rubber out to the Alicorns, the sister’s make no move to grab any.

“Suit yourself; they are really quite good." Discoird arm coming back to him, he now lightly flicks the seeds at the alicorns. There facial expressions unchanged.

“Hmm nothing? Just going to keep looking at me, alright but do hurry up. I am expecting company.” said Discord.

“This ends now Discord!” they both say in unison as they open there bags revealing gemstones.

“Ooooh gems, you plan to beat me with some gems.” Discord, now laughing loudly.

“Those would be a good treat sure, but as a weapon? Against me?" Discord saod between laughs , as the gems now swirl around the alicorn princesses.

A large rainbow arc shoots out from the gems stones and descends upon him, consuming him in a bright light, the draconquess now a stone statue, his laughing face and pose frozen in place.

Redmoon now frozen in her tracks, tears slowly streaming down her face . She is only awakened from the shock at seeing her Son, Nox run out to the statue, tears evident in his eyes.

"Shit!"Redmoon angrily draws her sickles out and rushes after her son, tears rolling down her face. Her other children following after Nox. Confused at what just happened and why did another person she cared about have to die, as she goes after Nox.

"Dad! Dad!" said Nox running to his now stone father.

*On the alicorns end*

"It is finally over?" asks Luna, quietly

“Yes it is, sister , yes it is” said Celestia with a sad expression

“Pater!, Pater!” They hear, as they turn to see the young dragon running toward the statue, Nox still crying.

He stops as they see him, fear now written on his face as he backs away as Celestia steps closer.

“Where did you come from little one? asks Celestia kindly, attempting to calm the scared dragon.

Redmoon appearing between them, as she dropped from the sky. Her sickles drawn, glaring angrily at the sisters, her tears gone.

“Ego Sum Coccinus Luna, quid habere vos perfectus ad mei sodalis." the female dragon said

*Our drakes and draconquess end*

“*I am Redmoon, What have you done to my mate.*” said Redmon angrily, glaring at the two alicorns , Nox now behind her, Redmoon's daughters at her sides

The white alicorn then looks over at the group,her gaze ending at Eris . Saying something to her sister, as the alicorn motion to draw out the gems again, Redmoon lunges. Celestia barely managing to block the sickle, with her scythe.

“*You think ill let you hurt my family, you have another thing coming*"said Redmoon angrily, Celestia appearing to understand the drakes intent., seeing the murderous glare now in her eyes.

“FUS RO DAH “Shouts Redmoon, as she blasts the alicorn point blank

Unbeknownst something is stirring in Nox.

"*Why did this happen, Why Why Why! Why is my dream coming true!?! This cant be happening, Why Why Why!*" Nox crying, clutching his head in pain, as his eyes glow sporadically as he watches Eris take on Luna.
