Chapters (Unknown)
"Get out of here you freak !" someone yelled throwing a rock at Kronos trying to duck it caught him above his eye falling to the ground he cried out trying to get up he felt a foot slam into his side causing him to roll over "Just leave this town you cursed little shit." trying to stand up he Kronos began to crawl away he then felt a sharp pain in his shoulder turning he saw shards of glass sticking out of his shoulder standing up he began to run out of the town tears streaming down his face. Running into the forest Kronos tripped and fell face first into the mud caking his face and matting his dirty blonde hair pushing himself onto all fours he began to cry rain pouring down on him.
His clothes were torn in several place blood flowed out of his wounds his soft crying began to escalate into loud whales calling out he wailed "M-M-MOMMY WHERE ARE YOU M-M-MOMMY !!!" curling up into a ball he laid in the cold mud sobbing.
(Frig Forest)
Jolting fore ward Kronos looked around running his hand through his dirty blonde hair sighing he rubbed his violet eyes and stood to his 6ft height. Kronos was a 19 year old male with moderately tanned skin he wore a black hooded jacket with a white t-shirt underneath he had worn jeans that looked like they haven't seen a good day and a pair of hiking boots. Groaning he looked down to notice the manticore that had chased his ass up the tree last night sleeping soundly at the bottom of the tree. Grunting he stood up steading him self he concentrated his magic to launch himself to the next tree sighing he thought 'Why did I use so much of my magic yesterday ?'
'Cause those bandits wanted to harm those travelers and there were 4 cat 6's' his brain answered back
'To bad the travelers were like everyone else.'
'Yes well one day we will be welcomed back as a regular person.'
'pffffft yeah right.' Kronos thought stopping at the edge of the forest to see a small town sitting down he began to look over a map 'hmmm okay we are here........so that town is Broncos home to the Celestial academy.'
'Kronos we should check it out' a feminine voice said turning he saw a breezie float up to him her name was Crystal sighing he muttered "Why all the people who go to that academy are rich snobs who have sticks in there asses."
"Yes but !" Crystal said flying up to his face and getting eye to eye with him "They are strong and maybe you could show them your strength as a fallen."
"Oh yeah like that couldn't go wrong."
"Your right it couldn't." Crystal said giggle then zipping into his jackets inside pocket sighing in comfort "Plus we need supplies and that's the closest town or would you like to walk to the next town over which is two and a half days away ?" grunting Kronos dropped down landing he kicked up some dust pulling his hood over his head he brought out a pair of shades and slipped them on then he began to make his way into town. Looking around he noticed many small businesses with there own little flare pushing his way he began to look for a supplies store but was finding it hard to find "Need help ?" turning Kronos saw two girls standing behind him.
The one standing on the right was a cute girl with mint green hair with white streaks her hair was cut short and looked like she had just woken up she wore a mint green hoodie that looked a size to small for her underneath that was a white shirt with a lyre in the middle and short shorts that left little to the imagination she had brilliant gold eyes she stood a few inches shorter than him. Standing next to her was another girls she had long indigo hair with a signal pink streak cutting through it her hair stopped at the small of her back she had deep magenta eyes in her hands were text books for advanced magic she had on a school uniform, nodding Kronos said "Uh yeah i'm just passing through the area and I'm wondering do you have a supplies shop like water, food, clothes and other things ?"
"Hmmmm Twi do we have one of those here ?"
"Uh yes we do its actually on the way to the café we could show you the way." the one called Twi said Kronos smiled at them and nodded excitedly hoping to get out of the town quicker and back on the road where he belonged "So what's your name ?"
"My names its Sonora." Kronos lied keeping on a straight face as he smiled to the girls he asked "What about you cute girls what are your names ?"
"I'm Lyra Heartstrings."
"I'm Twilight Sparkle."
"Well its nice to meet you both.......say Twilight what's with the uniform ?"
"Huh this is my Celestial Academy uniform."
"Oh cool so what about you Lyra I sense some magic from you."
"Huh oh yeah I go there but the difference between us is that I don't go to school on days off." Lyra smirked as she playfully pushed Twilight cocking his eyebrow Kronos said "You went to school on a day off ?"
"Well i'm the personal student to Princess Celestia and I don't want to disappoint her so I went for some extra practice."
"In your uniform Twi ?"
"Yes Lyra in my uniform." She said back sticking her tongue out sighing Kronos looked up pointing to the café he asked "Is that the café you girls were talking about ?"
"Yes it is and the supplies shop is across the street......hey why not come and have lunch with us I mean adding another person to this couldn't hurt." Lyra said smiling looking at her Kronos pulled his hood down letting his blonde hair breathe he said "As fun as that sounds no thanks I really have to be going."
"Oh okay well it was nice meeting you Sonora." she said Twilight said the same thing turning Kronos began to walk into the shop and began to collect the supplies he may need for his trip. *DING**DING* looking up he saw three men walk in shrugging he went back to looking over the ropes and knives wondering which would be better for his trip sighing her remembered that he only had enough to buy food and some extra clothes cursing he turned. Looking up he noticed a bear of a man standing infront of him with a shotgun aimed at his gut smirking the man said "Hand over all yur money kid or i'll blow you ass all over this store."
"Look buddy only have enough for a days supplies and some blankets could you I don't know still those knives and stuff they cost more than what I have-" Kronos was hit across the face with the gun his shades breaking in that moment Kronos had a flash back to that night 14 years ago "Shut up yeh brat and give me all yah got !" snarling Kronos let his instincts kick in.
(Café in the same instant)
Twilight, Lyra, the princesses (disguised), queen (also disguised), and Sunset Shimmer were enjoying there lunch when the supply shops windows suddenly broke with three burly men falling into the street. "What the heck happened !" Sunset said as they raced to the window with every other patron walking out of the shop was a tall man with dirty blonde hair and glowing violet eyes behind him black violet astral wings spread out wide in a threatening manner pushing themselves up the men pulled out guns "S-STAY BACK YOU FALLEN FREAK OR WE'LL-"
"YOU'LL WHAT SHOOT ME GO AHEAD BUT KNOW THIS BY THE TIME YOU PULL THAT TRIGGER YOU'LL ALREADY BE HITTING THE DIRT !!" the man yelled back looking at each other Lyra and Twilight noticed the voice of the figure "YOU ASKED FER-" the man was cut off by a fist slamming into his face being thrown back ward into the café he was out cold, turning the man looked at the other two men looked at each other then dropped their guns and kicked them away "Smart move now-" the man was cut off by a bought of coughing falling to his knees he tasted copper.
Looking at eachother the men tried to make a move to their guns but were stopped by a deep blue glow and bright golden one trying to find the source they saw the princesses of moon and sun holding them in place growing pale the stopped resisting and didn't move. Walking fore ward Queen Lumina looked down at the fallen as he coughed up blood kneeling she brought a hand to his fore head and took away the pain and healed him "Rest now young one your going to need it."
Looking up Kronos looked into the queens eyes looking for some form of deceit but found none instead he found warm caring eyes that he once knew of a women who rescued him from the forest whispering so only they could hear he asked "why did you help me ?"
"Because you are my dear nephew even if it wasn't made official all those years ago to think my sister rescued a fallen." she smiled at him and whispered into his ear "don't worry your aunt Lumina will protect you." and with those word darkness consumed Kronos but as it claimed him he felt the warm embrace of his 'aunt' as she picked him up.
Kronos drifted through the void staring up at the empty black that reflected his state of mind reaching out he extended a finger tapping the air sending out an echo like he just flicked a crystal glass. Sighing he turned over and looked below him to see a inky like substance below him turning slowly and pulsating every so often turning he righted himself in a 'standing' position turning he looked to see Lumina and the princess of the night behind him "This is an interesting dream-"
"Its not a dream it my state of mind." Kronos said sharply looking back down at the ink glaring at it in anger "What this is...........well the best thing I could tell you is my state of mind."
"What do you mean your state of mind ?" the princess asked cocking her head to the side and about to take a step foreward till Lumina moved her arm out stopping her still glaring at the ink "Its how you view yourself and the world around you for me its a black and that substance is well..........an all consuming entity."
"You mean your magic Kronos ?" Lumina asked walking foreward stopping when Kronos looked at her tears at the edge of his eyes "WHY WHY DO I HAVE THIS CURSED MAGIC I MEAN ITS JUST DESTRUCTION AND DEATH AND HATE WHILE EVERYONE ELSE GETS LOVED AND HELD CLOSE I GET PUSHED AWAY AND HURT !!" the world around them shook and the ink vibrated and began to spike up at them violently Lumina looked at Kronos and said "But that's not true is it ?"
"..........Your right only two people have showed me compassion Crystal and Nocturna ." Kronos said sinking down till he was lying down staring at the sky "You know she once told me that I have a purpose and that I would never be alone again."
"That was the day she died."
"That was the day she died." Kronos repeated in a monotone fashion tears welling up sitting up he asked "So what are you going to do with me ?"
"You will be enrolled into the Celestial Academy."
"Oh yeah that'll be swell hey guys its a fallen lets get him ! and you do realize that I need certain energies to use my magic."
"Yes I know Kronos that's why I have this." Lumina said holding out her hand a silver black gem appeared floating above her palm pulsing "This gym has the life force of the immortal beast Cerberus and you'll use it for you needs."
"W-where did you get this ?" Kronos asked reaching for it smiling Lumina used her magic to turn it into a necklace the gym turning into a cross with chains wrapping around the arms and teleporting around his neck "It appeared suddenly in my office after i brought you to this academy and when you wake up there is something you need to read now i will leave you."
"WAIT PLEASE DONT LEAVE !"
"Don't worry my nephew i would never leave you but you must wake up first after all this is your mind." Lumina said smiling she walked over to him and hugged him tightly wrapping him in a warm embrace.
(Lumina's office)
Twilight, Lyra and Sunset all stood in a row waiting for Lumina and Luna to open their eyes to explain what Kronos is and his type of magic Twilight and Lyra wanted to give him a piece of their minds for lying to them but wanted to hear why he did before they tore him a new one. Opening their eyes Lumina let out a small yawn stretching slightly looking over the three students she said "He might be waking up soon so what would you like to know ?"
"Well whats a fallen ?" Lyra asked earning a slap from Twilight causing her to yelp with surprise "Hey what was that for !?!"
"Because this is why your failing a fallen is a mage who can only use their magic by absorbing the life force of things around them our their own."
"So I really doubt Kronos would do that I mean if he wanted to wouldn't we be in the infirmary or morgue ?" Lyra said crossing her arms looking at her friend coughing Sunset brought the attention to the room over to her "I think the reason he lied is because of his magic most mages hat his kind and treat-"
"Treat them like monsters that need to be put down instead treated like a normal person Kronos went through that as a child." Lumina said leaning foreward resting her chin on her hands she continued "I have invited him to this academy and given him a gift my sister meant to give him long ago...............and your right Lyra he is a good man I have looked for him through many different records and he's popped up many different times in towns that once had high criminal activity and after he leaves the criminal activity is at an all time low he has been trying to protect people but once they find out about his power he is chased out of town."
"T-t-that's aweful !" Lyra said all three students had shocked looks on their faces smiling Lumina said "Glad to hear it since this school is co-ed AND you girls have a nice big house he will be rooming with you and NO BUTS I think this will be good for all of you in the long run...........oh and you can come out now."
Turning Lumina looked to the book shelf following her gaze the girls were shocked to see a breezie come out from behind a book she wore a long dress that was made out of flower petals she had long golden hair that went to her knees her eyes were a dark emerald green smiling sheepishly she said "H-h-hi mother."
"MOTHER !?!?" everyone except Luna who was reading over the reports on Kronos exclaimed laughing Lumina said "Yes I created the breezies and they have referred to me as their collective 'mother'.....now come over here little one I have many questions for you and you three please tell Kronos to go to the arena plus show him the way he needs to test in."
"B-b-but your majesty what about-"
"His mothers gift will help with that problem and bring him this." Lumina said holding out a pristine white envelope with a black wax seal that had and axe and sword crossed over the stars "Its for Kronos DO NOT OPEN IT !" Lumina said putting emphasis on the last part taking the letter Lyra held it like it was a live grenade.
(Infirmary)
Waking up Kronos looked around the room he was alone sighing he sat up feeling a weight around his neck he looked down to see the silver black cross made out of the gem he saw his aunt holding. Feeling it on his skin it didn't feel cold it felt warm like when his mother used to rock him to sleep closing his eyes he felt the warmth roll over him when he felt the stone pulse looking down he saw it turn black and silver rapidly before going back to the ocean like look before with the silver and black moving around each other. hearing footsteps Kronos stiffened and got himself for anything looking in the general direction his saw Twilight, Lyra and another girl walking into the infirmary looking down his said "So what are you doing here ?"
"Well dummy I came here to see if your okay and give you this !" Lyra said smiling looking up he saw that she was holding out a letter "Lumina told us that its from your mother." reaching out slowly Kronos took it gently out of Lyras grip whispering thanks to her opening it he began to read
Dear Kronos,
I'm sorry that I had to leave you eight years ago but I felt a disturbance in the balance of the world i'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you over the years i'm sorry that you had to grow up all these years with no one on your side but know this I will always be with you.. Now the gift im sure your aunt gave to you is a soul gem that I place Cerberus inside i hoped to give it to you so we could start training your magic now the gem can only be used for a certain amount of time and will merge with your soul over time and when that day comes you won't need to use yours or anyone else's life force to use your magic. Now i know you'll hate me for this but i need you to move on and make friends form a herd and most of all eat your greens i wish to see a handsome young man when the time comes for us to see eachother again and finally i want you to work on getting stronger so you can prove that your worth more than anything on this planet i love you son and i leave you to your own devices rise above the ashes of your path and move to the future you wish to achieve i believe you can do this.
love, your mother
Staring at the letter Kronos didn't know what to feel so instead he folded up the letter place it into the envelope and using his magic he turned it into a pendant of his mothers crest an axe and sword crossed over a field of stars. Turning he looked at the group around him looking each of them over he sighed the newest girls stood a little taller than Twilight she had dark brown skin and long red hair with gold streaks her eyes were a light teal she had on the schools uniform but instead of the dress shoes that Twilight and Lyra wore she had on boots coughing slightly she held out her hand shakily "Hi my names Sunset Shimmer." smiling Kronos said "Don't worry Ms. Shimmer i won't hurt you unless your a criminal." reaching out he gripped her hand lightly and let out a dark purple glow "So are you a criminal Ms. Shimmer ?"
"W-w-wat n-n-n-no !" Sunset said fear gripping her words and making her shake *SLAP* Kronos's head was bent down Lyra behind him her hand held up after slapping him upside the head "Knock it off."
"Yes boss." Kronos said letting go of her hand still smiling he let his aura die and looked around "Alright i feel like you ladies need something so what is it you needed ?"
Walking through the hall Kronos looked at the tall columns that held up the massive ceiling above them his mouth was wide open in awe making him look like a moron. Running into a massive double set doors he shook his head in agitation glaring at the door he turned to the girls "Is this the arena ?"
"Well its the entrance to the lower half we're gonna head to the upper half." Lyra said waving him goodbye and teleporting away with Twilight staying behind Sunset said "Look a lot of people are gonna be here today cause usually we do some test but your gonna be fighting a teacher."
"Seriously why not just give me the test !?!"
"The teacher is Shining Armor you know captain of the celestial guard."
"So why am I fighting him !?!"
"He doesn't trust you because of the fallen stuff so he wants to fight you and see if your dang-"
"Of course im dangerous I've fought hardcore criminals and bandits !"
"Yeah you should probably try surviving and not fight back." Sunset said kicking her feet slightly growling Kronos said "Fuck that if this prick wants a fight i'll give him a good one."
"Look he is just worried about the princesses, queens and students safety !"
"I know but this kind of........look it doesn't matter." Kronos said turning an pushing the doors open and began to walk through the hallway toward the stadium. Walking through the passageway Kronos began to feel the pulse from the cross and began to get a feel for the energy trapped inside smiling he knew that its energy was immense but it wasn't without an end after juding how much he could use and for how long.
Stopping a few feet from the entrance to the arena he saw the light at the end and heard the murmur of people walking foreward he stepped out of the darkened tunnels being blinded momentarily blinking rapidly he opened his eyes to see a dirt field infront of him. Looking around he was amazed at the sheer size looking he saw students all leaning into each other and talking looking around he saw the VIP box he could make out seven figures turning back he saw Shining Armor standing a few meters away he wore light grey leather armor his medium length blue hair was tied into a pony tail "Are the combatants read ?"
"Yes !" Shining yelled raising his fist to the air before getting into a fighting position shrugging Kronos got into his fighting positions and shouted "Sure !"
Shining shot three bolts of blue energy at Kronos smiling he held out his arms and absorbed the attack channeling the magic he turned it into a deep purple whip swinging it around he flung it at Shining catching him in the knee. Yelping out Shining jumped back only to be hit by a magical blast landing on his back he grunted looking up he saw the kid now held out his left hand still smoking from the blast his right hand was now holding the whip behind him. Growling he pushed himself up charging his magic he used it to leap foreward smiling he knew he had the kid yawning Kronos raised the whip and slammed it into the ground kicking up a massive cloud of dust stopping Shining waited for the kid to either leave the dust or it do die. *ZAP* Shining felt pain in his left shoulder looking he saw a purple glow turning he began to fire a bolt when *ZAP* he was hit in his right leg falling to the ground he saw a light coming to his right snarling he began to charge a spell when he felt something on his head.
"Wow captain of the guard but can't even figure out when he was being tricked !" turning slightly he saw the kid behind him dust covering his body and a scorch mark on the ground "Couldn't figure out that I was teleporting ?"
"Why you little-*ZAP*" Shining was cut off by a bolt of magic electrocuting him causing his mind to overload and passing out sighing Kronos turned to see the medical staff rushing over sighing he began to walk off the field only to be stopped by a cup hitting him head turning he saw students standing up "You fucking freak !" one yelled before throwing a rock with out turning Kronos caught the rock and crushed it in his hand. Walking back into the tunnel he scoffed at the students reactions to his fight making his way further into the bowels of the arena running into Lumina smiling he said "So is this how all students are welcomed ?"
"No i'm extremely sorry about this but the-"
"Its fine Lumina don't worry about anything he was technically doing his job."
"I'm glad you see it that way now let us discuss your living arrangements." Lumina said wrapping her right arm around the man and guiding him to the exit.
(Three hours later)
Standing in the door way Kronos was staring at the three girls from earlier with a blank look on his face walking forward Lyra laughed a little at his look saying "So I take it Lumina didn't tell you about you rooming with us."
"uuuuuhhhhhhh." was all Kronos said his mind trying to understand why the queen and princesses would put him with their students "Anyways Kronos your room is on the ground floor over here." Lyra said grabbing is arm and showing him to the room opening the door he saw the door was medium sized room with a bed, desk and wardrobe with a mirror above it walking in the room smelled and new. Sighing Kronos looked at the bed walking over he ran his hand over the blue bed sheets feeling the softness he frowned wondering when was the last time he slept in a an actual bed "Hey Kronos Sunset is cooking French Toast tonight you want-"
"DID YOU SAY FRENCH TOAST !!" Kronos yelled turning around he grabbed her shoulders shaking her a crazed look in his eyes and some drool running down his face "Y-y-yes F--f-f-French t--t-t-t-toast p-p-please s-s-s-stop s-s-s-shaking m-m-me." Lyra stuttered stopping the shaking Kronos smiled sheepishly "Sorry but French toast is delicious !!"
"Well yeah is guess."
"But yes I like some to."
"You want a lot dontcha ?"
"Yes yes I do." Kronos said smiling at the short haired girl "So Lyra how old are you ?"
"Hmm well i'm seventeen but I a late birthday so i'll be turning eighteen soon."
"Ahh well i'm nineteen."
"Hahaha hard to tell."
"SO before we head downstairs how old are Twilight and-"Kronos was cut off by a purple beam of energy flying past him looking to his right he saw twilight with bright burning hair that moved like fire smiling she said "So what was that about age ?"
"Oh well I was wondering c-c-c-cause you l-l-l-look a year younger t-t-t-then me ?"
"Good save." Lyra whispered leaning in closer "You would think that Lyra." looking behind Twilight they saw Sunset with the same look "Welp this is gonna-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kronos screamed
(Next morning)
Waking Kronos stared at the ceiling yawning he tried to sit up feeling a weight on his chest grunting he looked down to see mint green locks and a cute face pressed up against his chest. Blushing Kronos poked Lyra in the head mumbling she said "Five more minutes please." snuggling deeper into his chest he heard her purr slightly "Hey Kronos time to get up !" he heard Sunset say on the other side of the door looking at the door his eyes went wide seeing the handle turn looking around Kronos tried finding a way out of the situations. Looking to the right he saw Sunset staring at him smiling very creepily "So Kronos you ready for today ?"
"N-n-no ?" Kronos squeaked out very manly closing his eyes tightly waiting for the pain only for it to not happen opening one eye he saw Sunset carrying Lyra in her magic "Well to bad we have class oh and no food for you." with that said she slamed the door.
Walking down stairs with Lyra in her magic Sunset found Twilight getting ready for the classes looking up she asked "So whats with the look and why do you have Lyra in your magic ?"
"Well our little friend and new roommate decided to have a sleep over." Sunset said turning the two saw Lyra starting to wake up looking around she said "Why am I downstairs ?"
"Well Lyra I have a question for you why were you in Kronos room ?"
"Huh n-n-n-no I wasn't In his room !" Lyra said blushing and waving her hands infront of her and shaking her head quickly glaring at her the two said "We had a deal !" before storming out of the house and going to the school. Making his way down Kronos saw Lyra dressed in a work out bra bright green and a pair of green short shorts and white stripes gawking in his head Kronos grunted and said "So Lyra are you gonna change ?" looking down at herself Lyra smiled then looked back up at the man with half lidded eyes saying "Why school doesn't start for another hour we could-" teleporting she ended up infront of him running her hands along his chest she leaned in "-have some fun of our own." clenching up slightly Kronos felt his nose bleed then his eyes rolled up into his head passing out. Lyra staring down at the man she sighed "Welp your gonna be late."
(Hour later)
Running through the halls Kronos made his way to the class room busting through the doors he looked around to see a class starting spotting Lyra and Twilight he began to walk over to them only to run into a wall of light. Rubbing his nose he looking around he saw who he guessed was the teacher she looked to be 24 years old and she was quite a looker, she had bright pinkish hair with with gold and purple streaks in it smiling she said "Welcome to this fine school........Kronos but I must ask why your later ?"
"......uh something shocked me ?"
"And that would be ?"
"A tazer." Kronos said looking the teacher straight in her eyes nodding she said "Ok please take a seat and for the sake of our next meeting please don't get shocked again." nodding Kronos began to make his way to the back of the room sitting in a corner all the way to the back. Sighing Kronos began to take notes of the lesson every so often finding himself staring at the back of Lyra and Twilights heads until a piece of paper appearing beside him brought his attention down looking he saw writing form on it.
Hey Kronos how are you feeling ? ;P
Looking up he saw Lyra winking at him the turning back to the lesson smiling he began to write 'Fine thanks for the heart attack.'
'Awww don't be like that you know you liked it.'
'Uhhh yeah I guess.'
'You guess you know i'm hot !" Kronos began to think yes Lyra was beautiful her hair and her body her breast (From Kronos guess) was between a C and D while her but was nice and round, and her gold eyes that seemed to draw him in every time he looked at her remembering the morning Kronos recalled the feeling of her skin and the warmth of her next to him smiling he knew that he liked her but knew that she couldn't feel the same way so turning to write he put 'Yeah you sure are you nearly burned by arm in bed this morning.'
'Wha- seriously you dude ?'
'yeah why wouldn't I be ?'
'You are a fucking idiot !'
'How am I idiot ?'
'You just are that's why !'
'Okay i'm sorry for being an idiot how can I make it up to you ?'
'Lunch ?'
'Sounds good and you just have to pick the place i'll pay.' Kronos wrote looking up he saw Lyra turn to speak with Twilight for a few seconds then go back to note taking sighing Kronos also returned to work.
(Lunch time)
Walking through town Lyra stood close to Kronos guiding him by the arm to the simple lunch place she wanted to eat at rounding the corner she pointed to a store and said "There it is Kronos !" rounding the corner after her Kronos looked to the lunch area seeing the place he felt everything he owned turning a pale white he felt his soul leaving his body hearing someone say "Hey something came out of him !" laughing Lyra grabbed him and began to guide him to a smaller shop to the left with a cartoon pig cooking a steak for a wolf being sat down Kronos felt better "Did your really think I would want to eat at that snob shack ?"
"Well you pointed at it ?"
"Yep but only to shock you as a sorta revenge."
"Very funny you almost killed me you know !" Kronos said leaning on her hands Lyra giggled a few locks of hair fell around her hair looking at her Kronos felt his mind go blank for a second "Yeah laugh it up Lyra but what would you have done if I had died ?"
"I would of been very cold tonight." she said staring at his eyes drawn in by his eyes violet eyes she could see that he was a strong man and had a lot happen to him in his past "But in truth I would still make you pay for lunch."
"Wow your so nice aren't you ?"
"Yes yes I am."
"So Lyra when do you turn eighteen ?"
"Hmmm this month is September so in about three months." Frowning she looked down and to the right sighing Kronos took her hand in his and causing her to look up at him he had a gentle smile on his face "Sorry if I brought up anything bad but I figured i'd get you something."
"That's nice Kronos but you don't have to."
"I know but that's why i'm gonna do I Lyra."
"Kronos-"
"Once he makes up his mind you cant change it." a voice spoke out popping out of his uniforms pocket Crystal smiled at Lyra "Just accept it I once saw this dolt chug and entire bottle of Celestial fire hot sauce on a dare !"
"Really !?!?"
"Yep."
"Hey that got us a little over 100 bits !" Kronos tried to defend himself only to get a shake of his head from the two girls grunting he muttered "Whatever we got a good amount for that bet."
(Unknown area)
Looking through the glass a cloaked figure with darkness surrounding it stared at an image of the violet eyed mage smiling sinisterly its red gold eyes sparkled with hunger. Tilting its head it reach out a clawed hand running it over the surface sending out ripples while saying "Soon my brother you will join me and we will burn this world and bring about a new age."
Running through the forest Kronos looked over his shoulder seeing four hell hounds running after him their blood red eyes piercing the darkness as the ran their paws scorched the ground. Kronos couldn't make how big they were but could tell one thing the were FUCKING BIG the eyes were level with his and the foot fall or paw falls sounded like that of a horse running through dirt. Sliding underneath a log Kronos thought 'What the fuck did I do today for this to happen.'
(Earlier that day)
Walking around town Kronos felt Lyra tug him into a clothes shop for the fifth time that day to look around in his right hand were three bags and in his left were two looking to the petite girl he said "Lyra why are you buying so much ?" turning around the girl narrowed her eyes at the man and said "Do you have a problem with that ?"
"No I was just curious ?" Kronos gulped internally hoping he diffused the situation nodding she turned back around looking at a mint green sundress staring at the dress Kronos felt his mind wonder to how it would look on the mint haired girl. After thirty minutes of shopping Kronos and Lyra went to the local café to meet up with Sunset and Twilight to talk about classes and what they had planned for thanksgiving off smiling Twilight and Sunset said "We're gonna visit our family back at canterlot."
"Wait you two are sisters ?" Kronos said looking between the two girls slightly shocked chuckling Twilight began to answer the question "Well I don't exactly recall but a few years ago my parents were killed but after that things are a blur all I remember is Sunset's mother caring me out of the house and to an ambulance."
"Ahh so your adopted ?"
"Yes."
"Well sorry If I brought up a bad topic." Kronos said looking down at the table with a somber look on his face smiling Twilight said "Yep but don't worry about it, it happened a long time ago and I cant remember much of it."
"Hmmm what about you Lyra ?"
"Huh o-o-oh I'm gonna go home and visit my mother how about you Kronos ?"
"Me well Lumina offered me some training and I accepted."
"Why would you need that ?" Sunset asked leaning forward slightly Kronos paled slightly and said "Well I've been having some weird feelings since I've got here and not good ones."
"Like something bad is coming ?" Sunset said cocking her head to the side looking around he found that the other two were giving him the same look sighing he crossed his arms and looked up to the sky "I don't know but maybe."
(Unknown area)
Looking at the mirror the figure chuckled lightly sneering he tapped the mirror changing to a darkened area smiling he said "Now now look at you Marina your are looking very lively." the figure cocked her head and spoke in a language long forgotten " " chuckling the figure said "Yes I do have a job and a fun one at that and how did the previous one go ?"
" , ?"
"Yes all you have to do is bring me my brother ALIVE."
" ?"
"Yes you can kill but only those who get in your way."
" "
"Yes and you will enjoy this hunt but you mustn't kill him rough him up a bit but under any circumstance you must not kill him believe me you will regret."
" "
"Good enjoy the hunt."
(Next Day)
Standing at the train station Kronos wave good bye to his three friends watching the train leave he sighed and began to make his way back to the school while walking back he ran into a small woman she stood around 5' 2'' in height she wore a dark red shirt and long black pants her eyes were a deep crimson and her hair was black with red streaks. Rubbing the back of her head she groaned out in pain reaching down Kronos offered her his hand "Sorry about that I didn't mean to run into you."
"I-I-its okay y-y-you didn't d-d-do it on purpose." she said shaking a little as she stood up looking into her eye Kronos saw that she had some power sighing he asked "So what are you doing here ?"
Smiling she said "I'm a late transfer student for the academy my name Is Marissa Loe what's your name ?"
"Huh oh my names Kronos so why are you here ?"
"Oh i'm here to meet the headmasters of the academy."
"Why ?"
"Well I'm one of those late bloomers or something like that and they wish to test me to see how magically talented I am."
"Oh well good luck and would you like to me to show you the town ?"
"Sure sounds fun !"
(3 hours later)
Walking back to the table with two drinks Kronos sat down looking at the woman he smiled at her and she smiled back handing the drink to her he asked "So where are you from originally ?"
"A small town out west.............its gone now."
"What do you mean gone ?"
"Before I was called to the academy our town was attacked by something ?"
"Something ?"
"Yes something attacked and began to slaughter everyone in town." she said her eyes beginning to water with unshed tears "I only survived because I used my magic to teleport away."
"I'm sorry that I asked that but how far did you teleport ?"
"Far enough for the headmasters to notice." she said with sad look in her eyes nodding Kronos said "come one let me take you to the academy."
"Sounds good and thank you for this."
"No problem its the least I can do for you." Kronos said standing up and offering his hand to the girl taking the hand she smiled while he helped her up "Now let me show you the way to the academy."
"Sounds good."
(half hour later)
Walking up to the entrance Kronos waved his arm and said "Welcome to Celestial Academy !" smiling happily Marissa began to hop around with excitement "Calm down now I'm gonna cast a spell that will guide you to the headmasters office I need to go get something together for my dinner tonight." Kronos said as he waved his hand and a black and violet ball formed and floated infront of Marissa.
"Ahh so you cook for your self ?"
"Oh yeah but only if it has instructions on a box or is really simple like noodles."
"That's rather sad maybe I'll stop by and we could get to know each other some more."
"Sounds good." Kronos said waving good bye as Marissa walked away with the ball showing her the way sighing Kronos turned back around and began to walk back to town. After a few minutes of walking Kronos began to move the forest when he heard a cry turning he couldn't see anything through the foliage and heard another cry pushing past the foliage he began to move toward the noise after a few minutes of walking he found the source of the noise he didn't have to move to far from the path but he was still pretty deep in the forest pushing past a blueberry bush he saw small wolf caught in a trap a steel wire tightly wrapped around its hind leg slowly tearing into its skin.
Sighing Kronos made his way up to the wolf getting down low he projected some of his magic drawing some life force from the surrounding vegetation causing them to bend down and wilting slowly turning into a darker shade using the magic he calmed the wolf down and began to undo the wire. After forty minutes of work he finally got it off sighing he began to heal the wound drawing some power out of the amulet so he could heal the wound smiling he said "So little guy you feel better." turning the wolf pup looked at its leg then looking at pup Kronos saw that it was a pure white wolf with deep gold eyes barking it ran over to him and sat down.
Standing up Kronos chuckled and began to walk away only for the wolf to follow him stopping he said "Hey little guy why don't you go to you family." the wolf barked while its ears pressed against its skull rubbing his temples Kronos said "Alright lets-" he was interrupted by something massive and black slamming into him sending him into a tree coughing up some blood Kronos looked up to see the monster moving toward him and the white wolf growled at the thing "Shit."
(Present)
Stopping in the middle of the field Kronos saw the four hell hounds stop infront of him all massive and all looking for a meal grunting Kronos began to draw energy from the amulet. His hands began to glow a black violet color standing up straight and cocking his head Kronos said "Bring it on !"
"HA your funny I would have really enjoyed killing you !" a voice called out from behind the hell hounds was a young girl wearing a silver dress with gold frills at the sleeves and on the him of the dress her silver was in two pig tails her eyes were a deep crimson red smiling she said "So my prey are you gonna make this interesting for me or will you just come with me ?"
"Go with you why would I go with you ?"
"I think i'll let my boss explain when I bring you to him."
"What the fuck does that mean ?"
"It means if you wish to find out you can find out sound good ?" she said smiling innocently but Kronos could tell behind that smile was a Satanist of the worst kind shooting his hand out he shot of bolt out catching her in knee falling to the ground she began to laugh "Wow your really strong to bad I have to hold back or else we would have fun BUT alas we have to be leaving it seems that you have company."
"Wait just a second-" Kronos began only to be cut off by a black arrow slamming into his gut sending waves of pain through his body falling to the ground he grabbed the arrow and began to scream looking to the girl she had a sadistic smile on her face "That's for attacking me and next time I'm gonna beat the shit out of you."
Gasping slightly Kronos said "Bring it on you bitch." before blacking out he saw flames engulf the girl and her hounds while she laughed hysterically at him.
(Unknown time Unknown area)
Waking up Kronos felt light invade his line of sight trying to move one of his arms he felt pain course through his body looking down he saw that he was wrapped in bandages and each one had runes on it to allow accelerated healing. Looking around he found that he was alone sitting up he heard a gasping sound looking up he saw Marissa dressed in a simple black shirt and grey skirt rushing forward she began to check the wounds and saying multiple things "Slow down Marissa what happened ?"
"You were attack my dear nephew." looking up Kronos saw Lumina she looked tired and worn out walking forward she continued "An unknown person attacked you and the only reason we were able to save you was for this little guy ." looking down Kronos saw the wolf pup wagging its tail happily cocking his eye brow Kronos pushed Marissa off him softly and asked "How did he do that ?"
"Your cousin Luna is Princess of the night and can communicate with creatures of the night and because wolves are rare in the area she could easily come to help the wolf and he called for help saying something along the lines of 'My brother needs help' so Luna came he explained the story and now here we are you injured and with a companion."
"Ahhh I see sorta but did you see the person ?"
"No I only felt their power and that's the other reason I'm here from now on I will be training you to fight and control your magic."
"Why ?"
"Because my nephew it is my job to protect and protect you I shall by teaching you to fight and defend yourself now moving on from that I take it you know this young mage."
"Oh Marissa yeah I showed her around town and got to know her."
"Good now take her to her new home."
"And that ?"
"With you and the other students."
"WHAT !?!?"
( week later)
Walking through the town Kronos and Marissa had finished shopping and getting ready for the return of Kronos's friends and room mates from the thanksgiving break sighing he rolled his shoulders and popped his neck. Looking at her friend Marissa said "So hows the training going ?"
"Pretty good my magic strength increase quite a bit and I have better control of how much energy I absorb from my surroundings."
"That's good to here so what are your friends like ?"
"Hmmmm they're good people kinda strange but if you need help with anything they got your back."
"Really ?"
"Oh yeah so they'll be here in another hour or so lets get back to the house and get this stuff put up." Kronos said turning to look at Marissa who nodded slightly she had her hair pulled back into a pony tail and wore a silver t-shirt and a gold skirt smiling Kronos and her began to make their way back to the house.
Walking up to the house Kronos unlocked and opened the door with his magic waling inside he heard a set of voices coming from the kitchen charging up some of his magic he turned to Marissa and whispered "Shhh some ones in the house." slowly making his way to the kitchen rounding the corner he saw Sunset and Twilight cooking something in the kitchen sighing he let the magic dissipate coughing loudly Kronos grabbed the two girls attention turning to look at him Kronos noticed that they were wearing light grey sundresses smiling Twilight said "Hey Kronos we got here early so we thought that we should cook tonight !"
"Uh thanks sounds good but you should make room for another person."
"Why ?" Sunset asked picking up a few eggs in her magic and cracking them into a bowl before starting to stir with her magic looking at Kronos she noticed the small women behind him staying close to him smiling he said "Well this is Marissa and as of today she'll be living with us for now."
"Oh well we've known about her Celestia sent us a letter explaining the situation we thought you brought another person with you besides Marissa." Twilight said turning away from the two and preparing a bowl of spaghetti without turning around she said "Oh Lyra should be getting back soon why don't you go pick her up Kronos ?"
"Sounds like a plan let me just put these groceries away then i'll go out and pick her up." Kronos said walking over to the cupboard and using his magic began to put away the food looking and seeing the Sunset said "Seems you have better control then when we first saw you."
"Oh yeah Lumina has been hammering control and other lessons about my magic into my head." Kronos said as the last groceries were put into the cupboard moving to the door he began to make his way to the station. Smiling Marissa turned and said "Its very nice to meet you two I hope we can become really good friends."
"We will now could we ask you something ?" Sunset said turning away from the chicken and parmesan Marissa nodded smiling "So what do you think of Kronos ?"
(Station)
Standing at the station Kronos saw the train pulling in smiling to himself he thought about the few months of him being and how he got to know Lyra and for some reason after she left he couldn't really get her off his mind. Kronos hadn't seen Crystal either for the week sighing he remembered how close those two had gotten in the time Kronos and her had "enrolled" watching as the train pulled in as the doors opened Kronos waited for Lyra to get off. It took around 7 minutes but she walked off the train wearing a long sleeved white shirt and tight fitting jeans and converse smiling her gold eyes locked onto his running forward she hugged him close and whispered "Thanks for being here and sorry about this." slightly confused Kronos then felt something warm on his lips and saw Lyras eyes closed pulling away she said "Honey thanks for picking me up from the station."
"So Lyra honey this is your boyfriend ?" Kronos heard a gruff voice said looking up Kronos saw a gruff looking man and a elegant women beside him. The man stood a head taller than Kronos he wore a dark grey suit with a white dress shirt he was clean shaven with his dark green hair was combed back, the women walked forward smiling she wore a mint green sundress her long silver hair went down to the middle of her back she stood a little taller than Lyra. Holding out her hand the women said "My name his Melody Heartstrings and this is my husband Silver Heartstrings." reaching out his hand Kronos gently shook her hand and said "Its an honor to meet you ma'am my name is Kronos."
"No last name ?" Melody said cocking her head slightly chuckling Kronos said "NO i'm and orphan and well my adoptive mother offered and I said 'I see no point in a last name but maybe one day.' so until what I want a last name I'm just Kronos."
"Such an odd way of thinking don't you agree honey ?" she said turning to her husband looking down at he said "Yes now Lyra you said Kronos is a mage like you ?"
"Yes daddy and strong to he beat Shining Armor in combat no help !" Lyra said turning to her father and holding his arm staying close to him looking down Kronos saw something in Lyra's eyes something he couldn't really place. Chuckling Kronos used is left hand to rub the back of his head and said in a sheepish tone "Really Lyra you told them that story ?"
"Of course it was the coolest thing ever !"
"I guess but we should probably get you back to the dorms." Kronos said turning he smiled to the parents of his 'girlfriend' nodding Melody said "How about we continue this talk tomorrow with some brunch ?"
"Sounds good Mrs. Heartstrings."
(Dorms night)
Sitting in Kronos's room Lyra had just finished explaining what had happened "So basically your step father wants you to marry some asshole ?"
"Well when you say it like that you make it sound so simple ?"
"Can't you say no ?"
"I wish I could but its complicated me and my mom owe him and he love us but-"
"You feel like you owe him ?"
"Yes but the guy he wants me to marry is a noble who is what you said an asshole when he was supposed to meet for our date he didn't show and went back home he ended up calling saying I ditched him."
"So your pretending to date me ?"
"Well-"
"As much as I would like to 'date' you I am dating you."
"Huh ?"
"Look I was gonna ask you out when you got back."
"Your joking why would you want to ask me out ?" Lyra said walking forward Kronos lifted her chin up smiling Kronos said "Lyra we've been hanging for months and well just recently I wanted to ask you out."
"Really ?"
"Nooooo I'm lying to you." Kronos said in a very sing song voice grunting Lyra pushed him away before giggling and then saying "So what now ?"
"Well tomorrow we have to meet your parents for brunch."
"So we have to go get some sleep ?"
"Yes we do now good night Lyra." Kronos said picking up his now girlfriend he moved her off his bed and began to get comfortable while saying "But I never said you had to leave." smiling Lyra used her magic to put on her pajamas and slid beside Kronos wrapping her arms around him and he wrapped his right arm around her.
Making his way to the café Kronos began to wonder what Lyra's parents were gonna talk about with him and if he could get both of them to like him. Sighing he turned the corner to see Lyra and her parents sitting at the table eating some fruit, pastries and drinking orange juice walking up he said "Morning Mr. and Mrs. Heartstrings."
"Good morning Kronos."
"Morning."
Sighing Kronos stretched and sat down next to Lyra giving her a peck on the cheek smiling she went back to eating her grapefruit looking down at the fruit Kronos thought 'Why do they call this thing a grapefruit ? it doesn't even look like a grape.' picking up an apple Kronos took a small bite out of it and began to chew it thoughtfully "So Kronos what is it you do ?"
"Do I mostly study under Queen Lumina and study for school."
"Nothing else ?" Mr. Heartstrings asked cocking an eyebrow and looking at Kronos smiling Kronos said "Yes sir not much room left in my life right now with all that's on my plate."
"So what plans do you have for the future ?"
"Hmmm I think I want to be a reporter."
"A reporter ?"
"Yeah and not those bullshit ones who stalk celebrities I mean the ones who travel the world, learn new cultures and learn about the world."
"That does sound nice Kronos." Ms. Heartstrings said smiling at the young man Kronos nodded back as he took another bite behind them someone made a scoffing sound turning Kronos saw a man who stood an inch smaller than Kronos he had five o'clock shadow and short black hair his eyes were a light grey. Lyra seemed to freeze up when she heard the scoff "So Lyra this is your boyfriend he seems kinda small..." the man said his voice was filled with arrogance smiling Kronos said "Hello who are you ?"
"Pffft like you don't know who I am."
"I don't I never really cared for politics or other peoples lives but my own.........well till now." Kronos said looking to Lyra scoffing the man moved beside Lyra standing over he snarled at Kronos "My name is Onyx my father is General Obsidian."
"Ahhhh so nice to meet you." Kronos said rolling his eyes internally motioning to the seat next to Mr. Heartstrings Kronos said "So why don't you take a seat since you clearly are here to stay."
"Why thank you but I came here for one reason."
"Okay well I'm here with Kronos so if its anything to do with me you can forget it." Lyra growled scooting closer to Kronos to get away from Onyx who had tried to place his hand on Lyras shoulder growling he said "What does this peasant have that I cant give you Lyra !"
"Well for one he is kind but if I were to go off of power which my dad is clearly trying to go off of Kronos could wipe the floor with you easily."
"HA like that he could do that that peasant looks like he could barely lift a pebble with his magic." Onyx laughed Mrs. Heartstrings looked between the youth noticing how Kronos hadn't gotten angry with Onyx she was about to tell him to stop when Kronos stood up calmly saying "Well if you can wipe the floor with me SO easily lets have a small duel tomorrow."
"PFFFT are you joking as I said earlier I could beat the snot out of you with how little magic you have !" Onyx said Kronos felt anger well up inside him the gym that was underneath his shirt began to pulse and he heard what sounded like crashing waves then a voice snarl "SHOW HIM." then as soon as the voice and pulses came they left smiling Kronos said "Why I didn't know the son of the great general Obsidian was scared of a little duel." crossing his arms Kronos looked at his handy work as Onyx's face became purple with anger magic began to leak from his body cracking the ground staring Kronos down he snarled "Fine at high noon tomorrow." and with that said Onyx stormed off sitting back down Kronos apologized for his behavior smiling Mr. Heartstrings said "I know we live in a age where fighting over women is overrated but the only reason I wished my daughter to marry that brat was for his magical strength and family name yes, BUT Kronos if you beat him I think I will like you."
"Like me enough so I could call you by your first name."
"No I think that will take a while before you can do that but I do have this to say if you hurt he-" Mr. Heartstrings said pointing to Lyra who was slightly blushing or angry "-I will personally tear you limb from limb." seeing the look in his eyes Kronos nodded his head so fast he thought that he was gonna snap his own neck.
(Later that day)
After walking around the town Lyra and Kronos were sitting in the park under a massive oak tree sighing Kronos turned to look at Lyra who had a content smile on her face as she stared up at the clouds. Lyra had her finger intertwined with Kronos's wiggle them around every so often to get some of the feeling back in them coughing slightly Kronos said "I apologize Lyra I bet you hate me right now."
"Your right I do sorta hate you for turning me into some meat prize."
"Ly-"
"But I know for a fact that you won't treat me like a piece of meet and If you do you'll regret it."
"Ha if the one thing my mother taught me is to treat someone you love like a regular person, next a princess, then a Greek goddess, and then back as a regular person."
"Haha that sounds so cliché !"
"Oh yeah it was but she could be right."
"So what else did she teach you like the main things you find important."
"Well if I want to start a herd I need permission from my girlfriend-"
"Only girls that we both like not just ones you like."
"Uh......Okay, and if I do start a herd keep it around three or four girls."
"Why three or four ?"
"Well she told me to pick numbers I feel are close to me and well three is the month she found me and four is the she adopted me in that month."
"So you won't ever betray those numbers ?" Lyra asked turning to look at Kronos turning to look at her he smiled and nodded while saying "Not even if a supermodel came and Begged to be part of it."
"Ha I bet every guy says that."
"True but I made a promise to her."
"Oh and what was it ?"
"That I would never break any promise that I made her." Kronos said reaching up for the gem that hung around his neck gripping it in his fist he continued "That I would always keep a promise especially those to girls."
"Hmm so will you keep this promise ?"
"Oh and what promise is that ?" Kronos asked noticing Lyra leaning in closer smiling she kissed him on lips deep and full of passion pulling away she whispered "Never give up on me or whoever you come to love."
"Yeah I can defiantly keep that promise." Kronos said smiling reaching out he wrapped his right arm around Lyra and brought her closer to him feeling her warmth in the crisp autumn air.
(Next day)
Walking through the archway Kronos stepped onto a field of grass the arena had chosen this as the spot for him and Onyx to have their duel looking around Kronos noticed how wide spread the field was. It was an experimental type of arena that the school was testing and Kronos got permission from Lumina to use it for today as a test run for later trials, noticing Onyx take the field the two heard her majesties voice around them "Are the two combatants ready ?"
"Yeah."
"Yes ma'am." Kronos said getting ready for the fight getting load and charging his magic he began to tremble with excitement about the fight the one thing that Kronos had learned was he enjoyed fight "Then BEGIN !" as soon as the word was said Onyx leaped forward slamming his fist into Kronos face 'So strong !' Kronos thought as he was sent skipping across ground into a lone tree 'Of course I slam into the tree.' Kronos thought pushing himself up he felt a presence behind him rolling to the left he saw a fist flash past him and slam into the base of the tree snapping it like a twig spinning around Kronos summoned a weighted chain and swung it into Onyx catching him in the eye sending his head snapping back.
Looking to his right Onyx smiled standing up straight he stretched neck popping some vertebrae smiling he swung his fist down into the ground. Kronos felt a tremendous pressure slam into his gut sending him flying upwards into the sky coughing up some blood he landed on the ground a few yards away with the air knocked out of his lungs Kronos began to gasp for air desperately looking back at Onyx he noticed a solid black cylinder sticking out of the ground. Forcing himself to stand up Kronos heard a voice growl "ARE YOU GOING TO LET THIS WELP WIN SON OF NYX ?"
'Who are you ?"
"I WILL ONLY REVEAL THAT IF YOU CAN BEAT THIS WELP BOY."
'Oh I will but I'll need your help."
"I'M YOUR COMRADE SON OF NYX YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK." the voice said as Kronos felt a massive amount of power rush into him smiling he began to let the magic take form large ethereal began to form and his eyes began to glow a deep purple. Pushing his fist toward Onyx Kronos opened the fist deep purple and black spheres began to form around his hand pulsing once they shot forward connecting and forming into a massive net wrapping around Onyx he began to yell "You think this can hold me-"
Onyx was cut off by a black arrow jutting out of his chest laughter began to echo around them appearing between them holding a bow a little girl continued to giggle turning to look at Kronos she said "Shall we continue this fight ?"
Looking down at the girl Kronos ground his teeth while he thought 'How the hell did she get here !?!?' letting his emotions take control he lunged forward shooting a massive bolt of energy at her smirking she slapped it away from her sending it flying a few yard away blowing up with the force of a grenade it sent up small chunks of earth and plant life. Continuing his attack Kronos began to turn around and threw a round house kick at her trying to hit her face yawning she ducked under the kick and then she delivered a kick upwards into Kronos catching him in the gut being thrown a few yard up into the air Kronos coughed up a few droplets of blood. Falling back to the ground he felt his head swimming from the vertigo trying to spread his ethereal wings he suddenly felt a presence behind him turning he saw the girl with blood red and black wings above him waving at him before she punched him in the middle of his back sending him crashing into the ground.
Pushing himself up Kronos couldn't believe he was losing to her and how weak his was looking up he saw the girl crouching in front of him yawning she said "So can we go now I thought you'd be fun but...........your boring like REALLY boring and EXTREMLY weak, no come with me." not under standing why but at that statement Kronos felt rage sweep across his mind yelling he fire a blast of magic from his mouth catching the girl by surprise and sending her flying back a few yards landing roughly she looked up to see the man's body glowing a deep purple and another set of wings sprout from his back and was holding a silver glaive with an obsidian blade "So that's why he's looking for you."

(Outside arena)
"WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE !!!" yelled General Obsidian who was staring at his son who was bleeding out on the field while two fallen had a death brawl around him one was the challenger Kronos who had just grown two more sets of wings part way through the match and was now holding a massive glaive that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere while the other was a small girl with blood red and black wings who were a frilly dress turning he shouted at the queen letting his rage cloud his judgment shocking all who were in the room "JUST WHY WAS MY SON DUELING A FALLEN AND HOW ARE THERE ANY LEFT !!!!"
"General Obsidian you'll do your best to watch your language and as for why your son was dueling a fallen was because he has been attending this school for the past few months, he was trying to court the young Ms. Heartstrings WHO already knew about who he was, and as for the fallen I'm just as surprised as you are I thought Kronos was the last of his kind." Lumina said calmly staring the general directly in his eyes causing him to shrink back and bow turning to the monitor she watched as her nephew chopped off one of the fallen's arms causing her to cry out "Now I just hope he gains control of his power before he does something that he'll regret."
(Arena)
Grabbing the end of the glaive Kronos swung upwards at the girl causing her to flip back wards barely missing the blade she was losing blood fast. He was strong and fast, the faster she came at him he seemed to over come her speed with his within seconds growing stronger then her smiling she realized why that man had sent her laughing she thought 'I was nothing more than a sacrificial pawn in his game !' but she wouldn't give up she'd take this mongrel down and back to her employer even if he was an inch from death. Yelling Kronos felt power surge through he and all of it was coming from the gem the voice had told him to win the fight and he wouldn't come close to losing the fight with this power "THATS ENOUGH NOW BOY KNOCK HER OUT IF YOU CONTINUE YOU'LL DIE !!!!" the voice said ignoring it Kronos charge forward at the girl shoving the glaive forward he aimed to take the other arm when..............multiple injuries sprouted across his body and he began to cough up a massive amount of blood forcing him to fall to the ground "I WARNED YOU BOY NOW YOU'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSIQUENCES........BUT I CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO DIE JUST YET."
Suddenly a bright light filled the arena blinding the two fallen looking up Kronos noticed a young looking women standing before him and the girl. She had long flowing black hair, her eyes were a deep crimson with no pupils that Kronos could see she had sharp canine like teeth, her skin was a pale color almost ivory in color, she wore black Greek armor with a silver tunic underneath looking down she said "NOW BOY I'LL FINISH THIS FIGHT AND WE'LL CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW YOU'LL USE MY POWER !" extending her hand she summoned the glaive catching it she spun it around sighing with happiness she said "SO MEDUSA YOU WISH TO CONITUE THIS FIGHT ?" giggle the little girl said "Of course not Cerberus you win this fight so i'll gladly go with you to-" she was cut off by Cerberus rushing forward knocking her to the ground holding the blade against her neck continuing her sentence "-the queen after all I could never best you in combat !"
"OF COURSE NOT BUT YOU TRYING TO GAIN MERCY THROUHGH MY PRIDE SHALL NOT WORK I'VE GROWN ALOT SINCE THE LAST TIME WE DUELED."
"Of course you have now shall we be going."
"Yes we shall be going Cerberus please take care of my nephew I'll take care of this girl." Lumina said standing quickly bowing Cerberus held her head low while medusa stared at the queen dumbstruck about how she got past her barrier. Waving her hand Lumina, Onyx, and Medusa disappeared standing up Cerberus turned to the young boy laying in the dirt slowly bleeding but not enough to worry about death...........yet reaching down she healed his wound and said "MASTER NYX NEVER MENTIONED HOW STUBBORN YOU WERE PUP."
(Three hours later)
Waking up Kronos winced in pain looking down he noticed that his vision was slightly lopped sided but from what he could see he would be in the infirmary for awhile both arms were covered in bandages, one of his legs was in a brace, and he could fell more bandages around his torso sighing he laid his head back down looking to the ceiling trying to sit up he heard a voice say "I WOULDN'T DO THAT PUP." turning his head fully to the left he was now able to see a women sitting by his bed reading a history book gasping he tried jumping up only to find he couldn't move "THE DOCTORS SAID YOU SHOULDN'T BE MOVING TO THINK THAT MASTER NYX INTRUSTED ME TO YOU..........BUT SHE HAS NEVER BEEN WRONG ABOUT HER CHOICES."
"Who are you !?!?"
"MY NAME IS CERBERUS AND I'M BOUND TO YOU BY THAT SOUL GEM."
"But you should be dead if your soul is in this gem."
"DOES MY NAME NOT RAISE ANY AWERNESS FOR YOU BOY I AM CERBERUS I CANNOT DIE AND I AM NOT ALIVE."
"So what are you then ?"
"SOMETHING INBETWEEN BUT I'VE NEVER REALLY CARED TO FIND OUT NOW YOUR MATE IS COMING."
"Mate ?" Kronos questioned when it was answered Lyra came barreling in tears coming down her face she landed on Kronos causing him pain to flare up across his body "L-l-lyra I'm okay c-c-could you get off me ?"
"NO YOU BIG IDIOT YOU HAD ME WORRIED !" she cried sighing Kronos raised a hand and began to run it through her hair turning to Cerberus he raise motioned for her to leave nodding she turned to a black mist and floated toward Kronos and disappeared into his gem "I'll never get used to that."
"WHO CARES ABOUT THAT WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME !?!?"
"I-I-I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-sorry and I'll buy you anything you want ?"
"That's sounds good but YOUR NOT OFF THE HOOK JUST YET."
(Later that night)
Kronos laid in the hospital bed with a small head ache Lyra had givin him a tongue lashing that he would never forget then after that her father and mother came in and began to question him after about two hours of that her father gave him his seal of approval but with a warning "I have friends in high places and I can make sure your life will be a living hell if you hurt my daughter." which scared the shit out of Kronos so he promise to never hurt her. Then his aunt and cousins came in asking to talk to Cerberus and him together once she showed up naked of all things they began to question her that lasted for about three hours and after that it all ended and now Kronos was in a room by himself with a naked Cerberus next to him sighing he said "So why aren't you wearing clothes ?"
"I'M A HELLHOUND THAT CAN TAKE MANY FORMS SO I'M USED TO BEING NAKED I ONLY WEAR CLOTHES AT FORMAL EVENTS OR ARMOR WHEN I'M IN BATTLE."
"Yes I understand but I'm a guy and your a pretty attractive women."
"AND WHAT WOULD MS. HEARTSTRINGS THINK IF SHE HEARD THIS ?"
"Never mind remain naked just forget what I said and please where clothes when we're around her and my friends."
"UNDERSTOOD PUP."
"Why do you keep calling me pup ?" Kronos asked looking at the women noticing her deep red eyes staring into his looking down she said "SO YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME ?"
"Remember you why should I...........wait your the women that watch over me when mom wasn't around."
"SO YOU DO REMEMBER ?"
"But she was tan like really tan where as your pale and her hair was-"
"MY GODNESS SOMETHINGS NEVER DO CHANGE PUP YOU NEVER DID LISTEN TO ME I CAN SHAPE SHIFT WHICH MEANS."
"You have many forms."
"THERE YOU GO I SHOULD GIVE YOU A TREAT LIKE I USED TO." Cerberus said smiling at the boy as he flushed and looked away from her body realizing he was staring "IF ME BEING NAKE BOTHERS YOU I COULD ALWAYS WEAR MY TUNIC...........EVEN THOUGH WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG WE USED TO BATHE TOGETHER."
"What I don't remember that and YES PLEASE CLOTHES NOW !!!"
"HEHE YOU REALLY HAVEN'T CHANGED PUP........ITS GOOD TO BE TAKING CARE OF YOU AGAIN."
(Four days later)
Walking up the stairs to his room Kronos opened the door and laid down sighing as he felt the comfortable mattress sink under his weight looking up he began to ponder what the girl was talking about during their fight. Shaking his head he began to stand up when he heard a voice say "Soon my brother we'll take this world from those so called gods and bring the world into a new dark age."
"Who said that ?"
"Soon brother soon we'll be together again and we can take our revenge now sleep." the voice said whirling around Kronos came face to face with a hooded figure stopping he stared into the black mass where the head should have been he felt his body go numb raising a hand the figure brushed a thumb over his cheek and before Kronos pass out he heard a the voice again but with a feminine tone "Its good to see you again little brother." then Kronos's world went black and his head hit the pillow.
Sweat dripped down Kronos's face as he levitated another boulder Cerberus was walking around him watching as he levitated the boulder into the air and began to move it across the room for the seventh time. Walking forward she flicked his ear causing the man to yelp in surprise the boulder hit the ground causing the room to shake taking deep breathes he turned and looked at the women glaring up at her she simply walked away saying "YOU NEED MORE CONCENTRATION..........WE'LL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW YOU NEED TO GO TO CLASS AND I NEED SLEEP."
"Fine whatever you say."
It had been like this for weeks for Kronos had been training with Cerberus on his control, Strength and the amount of magic he could handle through the training he went from being able barely handle Cerberus's power to being able to barely handle it for twelve minutes and that discovery was made yesterday evening when he was told to hold the power for as long as he could. It didn't last as long as he hoped and when he tried going over it felt like a thousand hot coals were thrown onto his body moving out of the building he shielded his eyes from the sun 'Wonder what Lyra is doing at the dorm ?' Kronos thought making his way down some stairs. He and Lyra had been together for five months now and they trusted each other tremendously the school year was almost up and the so called "exclusive" period that you had to go through with a girl before getting their permission to start a herd and to Kronos's surprise Twilight asked to join them after she and Lyra went to a café together Kronos had accepted and Twilight had been apart of his life for a month now.
Walking through the front door of the house he was met with the pleasant smell of pastries moving toward the kitchen he walked in to see Lyra and Twilight moving through the kitchen cooking something cocking an eyebrow he knocked on the wall catching their attention turning the two saw Kronos standing in the archway looking at the two "So what's goin on ?" Kronos asked stepping forward Lyra said "Well yesterday one of Twilights friends called wishing you an early happy birthday."
"How did she-"
"Kronos my friend well we say this a lot it is Pinkie after all so we learned after awhile to let it go." Twilight said walking by and giving him a soft kiss on his cheek before going upstairs to study turning to Lyra he said "So we're gonna celebrate my birthday."
"Yeah of course I mean we celebrated mine and well I wanted to celebrate yours is that bad ?" Lyra asked looking down at her feet shuffling slightly walking forward Kronos placed a finger under her chin lifting her head he said "Its fine I was just surprised the last time I celebrated it was after my mom died..........it was lonely so I stopped celebrating it after that."
"Well your gonna have a lot of fun today." turning around she went back to baking the cake that's when Kronos noticed she was wearing an apron with underwear underneath staring at the panties they were mint green and the seemed to emphasis her ass giving making him notice the *CRACK* looking up he saw a wooden spoon being held in Lyras magic with out turning around she said "You can stare at my ass all you want later but I'm busy so go bug Twilight." sighing Kronos turned and left grumbling about how his head hurt from being hit with the spoon.
Listening to him go upstairs Lyra thought about what she was gonna give him for his birthday sighing she picked up some icing eating some. Looking down her face went red out of embarrassment before setting it down and saying "I really hope he enjoys it."
(two hours later)
Sitting in the living room Kronos, Lyra, Twilight, Sunset and the royalty of Equestria sighing he looked around smiling at the fact that everybody was happy and with each other only if Marissa was still her but two months ago she left saying she wished to travel and explore the world for a bit. Standing up he walked over to the table with the cake getting another piece he felt a hand on his shoulder turning he saw Lumina looking at him smiling at him smiling back Kronos said "So Aunt Lumina how are you enjoying the party ?"
"Its good I wish I could've been there for the others but I'll make up for it."
"You don't have to do that showing up is enough for me I'm just glad everybody is having a good time."
"Yes especially Lyra and Twilight." She said turning around and looking at the girls in question sitting side by side talking and laughing nodding Kronos said " Yeah I'm glad hoping that I could move this past dating to well you probably guess what I want."
"I don't want to guess but I expect you to make them extremely happy you understand this correct ?"
"Yes ma'am I promise." Kronos said giving her a mock salute smiling she raised a hand and ruffled the mans hair causing his eyes to widen and water slightly "I know you will."
(Later that night)
Waking up Kronos felt a weight on his stomach grunting he looked up to see Lyra looking down at him her shoulder length hair framing her face sighing he asked "Lyra what's up ?"
"Nothing I just wanted to give you one more present." she said cocking an eyebrow Kronos was going to ask when she simply motioned for him to look down. Doing that Kronos notice three things 1. His pants were gone, 2. Lyra was naked, and 3............... what was the third ? Blushing Lyra sat up a little letting the moon light bathe her body looking her over Kronos noticed her breast were between a C or D cup and perky he nipples were slightly erect from the cold air stuttering she said "w-w-w-well d-d-don't just sit there and stare do some- EEEP !!!"
Kronos went forward and latched onto her right breast while he used his left hand to fondle the left moaning Lyra threw her head back feeling pleasure shoot through her body. Lightly nibbling on the nipple Kronos pinched the left breast nipple pulling away he blew cool air onto the breast causing her to shudder going back to the breast he began to suck on the breast again. Shaking Lyra began to grind against his member feeling it harden against her pussy moving away she looked down to see his member fully erect and ready for action smiling she said "Looks like your ready to fuck this ass."
"Really Lyra ?"
"What this is my first time Kronos so I'm just winging it." Lyra said smiling laughing Kronos flipped their positions so he was ontop looking down he began to kiss her body starting at the neck and working his way down stopping at her breast to nibble and suck on them before moving on toward her lower regions looking at her 'Flower' as the sex ed teacher called it Lyra's was pink and puffy waiting for attention trying to sit up and tell Kronos to stop staring she felt something go into her and move around while Kronos nibbled on her clit slightly causing her to fall back and moan out loud. She grabbed her breast's and began to roughly fondle them she felt like her entire body was on fire pulling away Kronos went down putting his middle and pointer finger into her moving them quickly and carefully in and out while he ate her out after a few minutes she cried out cumming hard and fast pulling away and out.
Looking down at his hand he saw sticky fluid coating his hand licking some off he smiled and said "Lyra you taste like.......spearmint." blushing she grabbed Kronos and swung him around so she was on top taking a deep breathe she aligned herself above his tool looking at it nervously raising his hand Kronos put it against her cheek whispering to her "Take your time we're in no rush." slowly lowering herself she felt the tip inter gasping she felt a flash of pleasure going lower Kronos felt the head touch something looking at her he said "Fast or slow-"
Not getting to finish his sentence Lyra lost her balance and impaled herself on it breaking her hymen crying out from the pain she fell onto Kronos's chest tears running down her cheeks. Being quick and careful Kronos began to stroke her body and dull the pain after around fifteen minutes of doing this she looked up and whispered "Ok trying moving." nodding Kronos began to rock his hips up causing Lyra to gasp from the mixture of pain and pleasure looking at him she nodded her head smiling Kronos slowly began to move more and more causing her pain to be replace by pleasure.
After a few minutes of this Kronos felt a pressure building up in his lower regions grunting he tried to open his mouth and warn Lyra but looking up he saw she was fully aware of her surroundings her eyes were slightly rolled back and her tongue hung out of her mouth. Grunting he said "Lyra I'm close I need to-"
"Don't you dare pull out fill me up I'M SO CLOSE." She said before locking her lips with his taken back by this Kronos forgot what was going on for a second then with a final thrust he shot his seed deep into Lyra causing her lurch back shaking and silent before falling on top of him quivering and tired looking down he said "So was I any good ?"
"Yeah........................you were pretty good...........still...........need.........practice though." Lyra said slowly drifting off to sleep grunting Kronos was about to make a smart ass comment when he saw the blissful look of her face sighing he shook his head using his magic he cleaned up the mess and dressed both of them in underwear after removing his now limp member out of her. Laying beside her Kronos brought her closer to him resting her head on his chest and then drifting off to sleep.
Waking up Kronos felt a weight on his chest looking down he saw Lyra sound asleep on his chest still naked from last nights events sighing he began to move her over when he noticed something..............she had some cum leaking out of her nether regions freaking out he fell out of bed before standing up he saw Lyra looking at him with an angry expression trying to say something she yelled "Why the hell did you wake me up ?"
"Lyra look down !" Kronos said back looking down she saw the cum leaking out her nether regions shrugging she said "No biggie Kronos now lets-'
"No biggie Lyra I pretty much just knocked you up !"
"Yeah I know and my parents also know."
"Yeah I told them my plan and well surprisingly they approved."
"Lyra we-"
"Not ready yeah I know but.................Kronos I felt this is a way to show I cared for you PLUS when the babies born my parents they would take care of him/her."
"I really doubt your-"
"Yeah they want me to marry you."
"HRRQQEHEAFFBEHGGAERFDGRAW." Kronos felt his mind shut down uddering nonsense he fell over looking at her boyfriend she sighed and said "Sheesh we've been together for almost a year and he is still easily tricked."
(Half hour later)
"That was not funny." Kronos said while he sat down next to Twilight chuckling Lyra took her seat on the other side of him hugging his arm she said "It was but don't worry I had learned a temporary sterilization spell I used it on both of us before we started." looking down at himself Kronos turned to ask when he felt a hand on his left side turning he saw Twilight nodding already knowing what he was going to ask exactly sighing in relief Kronos returned to his breakfast enjoying the company of both Twilight and Lyra when he heard the buzzer for the door bell sighing he teleported away from the food to the front door "Yeah yeah hold on a second." Kronos said opening the door he was met with empty porch grunting he began to shut the door when a sharp pain came from his neck gripping at it he felt a cold object pulling it out he held a small syringe before his world turned black.
(UNKNOWN)
Waking up came slowly to Kronos slowly opening his eyes he was met with a dimly lit rock room looking around he felt heavy like when Cerberus tossed him into the deep end of the schools pool with a forty pound boulder. Trying to stand up Kronos found his legs and feet bound to the ground looking down he saw black chains with strange green letters circling around them "Look he wakes oh the master will be so happy to see you awake Veleno did good very good maybe master will give Veleno a prize."
"Maybe......Veleno..........should.............why....am.......I so..............weak ?" Kronos asked himself after a few words he felt that sleep would be the best option hearing a thudding sound he saw a pair of green jester shoes minus the bells looking up he saw a fully dressed jester wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his jaw that was a sinister grin. Back away out of surprise Kronos saw the Veleno as the man referred himself was holding a small scalpel looking down Veleno laughed manically "Do not worry Veleno had another patient but I don't need information from you just life............and you follow Veleno's orders to the letter."
"Huh ?"
"You see Veleno was hired to kidnap you not kill which confused Veleno but who is Veleno to turn down sooooo much money over something so trivial Veleno does better with dead but can deliver alive at other times BUT Veleno is BEST at getting information !" the man said pointing the scalpel close to Kronos's eye stopping mere millimeters from the actual eye grunting Kronos tried to back away only to be stopped by something turning he saw a robbed figured standing above him a boot placed firmly against his back reaching up the figure took off its hood revealing a women with dirty blonde hair and bright magenta eyes her skin was slightly tanned smiling she said "Welcome home brother together me and you are going to rewrite history !"
(Back home)
Lyra was sitting in the living room with a fist full of tissues her eyes were blood shot from the amount of crying she had done when Kronos had disappeared 'He went to answer a door.............how does that make you disappear ?' she thought miserably walking up Twilight rubbed her back trying her best to comfort her to little avail. Falling onto her side and slightly curling up she whispered "Please be alright Kronos."
(UNKNOWN)
Being dragged through differing passage ways after what felt like an hour Kronos found himself in a massive cavern that had crystals jutting out of it with the largest one being in the middle gawking at the massive cavern and the crystals that decorated it Kronos forgot what was going on for a second until "So brother would you like to hear my plans ?"
"Your plans are bogus there is no way that time travels possible speculated yes..........but only someone with as much energy as the princesses and the queen could pull it off so how do you expect to do it ?"
"Hmmmm your points are valid BUT do you know what these are ?"
"No I don't but your gonna tell me are you not ?"
"Yes I am so cliché don't you think but after hearing my explain you'll join me..........these crystals is all the power that our parent and their parents and their parents have being gather for years you see our EXTREMELY great grand father figured out that certain crystals can store magic and Fermat causing its power to double then triple and so on depending how long you leave the crystals are left alone !" she said turning she began to walk over to certain crystals running a hand over them they turned redish black before returning to the normal white smiling she continued "But the size of the crystal was also a factor and how long you would wish to leave said item alone but what he didn't realize was that when you left these alone they grew half an inch with the power of magic and magic doubles every two-three months when left in the crystals now from the size of these crystals how old do you think they are ?"
Kronos looked around seeing differing sizes boulders, cars, trucks, tanks, and human sized ones littered the cavern looking around he saw dozens differing in size but never being smaller than the average man. Turning back to his new found sibling he saw her smirking at his surprised looked opening and closing his mouth a few times Kronos found the strength to speak "How long has our family been doing this and how did they gather the magic ?"
"Sixty years after the fall of the first fallen is when we started it wasn't until four hundred years ago did we realize what the crystals could be used for..............and the magic is our own and anybody who accidently stumbled across our little secret." she said giggling slightly when she walked passed a human shaped that seemed to be..................running looking at her Kronos had many thoughts about her and none were good walking up to him she knelt down and said "Brother will you join me in the trip it will take all of our power just to keep Nyx and Lumina at bay but we may be able to keep our ancestor safe !"
Looking up Kronos stared into her eyes he could see her desperation and her hope full look smiling he said "Before I choose what's your name and which of us is older ?"
"Fair enough my name is Sapphire and I'll be turning 21 tomorrow."
"Well big sis how could I refuse to rewrite history for the better ?" Kronos smiled with a evil smirk crying out in joy she hugged her younger brother before undoing his chains turning she began to walk to what he could guess was the center turning back she said "Come brother we have much to do we'll start the process once we're both battle ready."
"Sound good can't wait for revenge."
After walking for what seemed like hours Kronos found himself in what seemed to be the centermost cave in the massive caverns that built up the area looking around he whistled. After bumping into his sister Kronos looked ahead to see a crystal archway with runes carved into the object encircling it was a massive magic circle walking up he began to study the circle he could make out two important aspects of the circle 1. It was powerful which meant it was sturdy for the journey and 2. It was complicated from the looks Kronos could only guess that once the circle was activated the only way to stop it is nuke the entire area with a powerful spell, smiling looked over to his sister and said "So how are we gonna start this thing up ?"
"Well first its gonna take both of us pushing in a healthy dose of our magic to jump start the gate so it will start sucking the power from the others," Pausing she began to walk up to the archway motioning for Kronos to follow once both stood only a arms length away did she continue" and the other thing we'll need is the incantations that I've been studying for the last few years."
"That's it ?"
"That's it just hope I don't mess it up."
"What do you mean ?" Kronos gulped looking at his sister looking down at him she smiled and mouthed 'BOOM' looking back at the archway Kronos felt goose bumps forming on his skin taking a deep breath he said "Lets get this done !"
Nodding Sapphire began to charge her magic following her example Kronos's charge his pointing to the right side she shot a beam into it the runes began to glow a deep black gold color, smiling Kronos looked to the left and fired his magic into the left side seeing the runes turn the same color. After a minute his sister began to speak the incantations need to start the spell as Kronos waited he thought 'Change history for the better !'
(Few minutes later)
Flying through the air Celestia, Luna and their mother began to make their way to a massive energy surge out in the badlands the surge had only just started but was growing with every passing second and didn't seem to show any sign of stopping. Stopping mid air the three women began to look around for the mysterious energy surge nothing caught their attention huffing Lumina looked straight down "Below us the energy is coming from underground !"
Nodding Celestia and Luna concentrated a good portion of their magic and fired it into the ground making a sizable hole in the earth dive bombing the hole the three of them landed in a massive cavern with crystals glowing a verity colors and pulsing with power. Looking at each crystal the three almost missed the mysterious language that was flowing around the cave and seemingly coming from every looking around they chose a random path and began to look for a way to stop what ever was going on.
After running through the sixth crystal cavern they found themselves at what they could guess was the center with a fewer crystals in it and an archway with two figures standing in front of it they began to charge forward when a Celestia fell looking down she noticed her left leg had crystal growing up it. Turning they saw on of the figures turn back looking at them...............Kronos smiling he turned back and began to push more of his magic into the spell causing the spell energy to spike again, taking a step forward Lumina felt heavier than before turning her head slightly she noticed both her wings and part of her back incased in crystal grunting she began to trudge forward toward her nephew while screaming "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS KRONOS, YOU LEAVE LYRA AND TWILIGHT ALONE GRIEVING OVER YOU, YOU BEGIN TO HELP THE ENEMY OF OUR PEOPLE WHY KRONOS WHY !?!?"
Turning to his aunt he smiled and said "For a better future." after the final world the crystal encased the distraught aunt and the spell finished warping the area around the two users. The world began to flash past both mages closing his eyes Kronos heard thousands NO BILLIONS of screaming souls rushing past him grinding his teeth and he didn't dare open his eyes when suddenly everything became stopped moving and all he heard was chirping cracking open an eye he saw that they were in a forest with lush green trees slight frost covered them signaling to Kronos they were in a colder climate.
Looking around he saw snow covering the ground and not hard rock or sand looking up he saw heavy black clouds drifting through the sky instead of a cave ceiling. Taking a breath in the crisp air woke him up more forcing him to speak "How did we get here ?"
"Magic silly *COUGH* !" turning Kronos saw his sister next to him warn and tired her messy blonde hair had turned ash grey and her skin had became a light grey color "SAPPHIRE !" he yelled as she fell to the snow dropping to his knees he looked at her facing opening her eyes which lost their vibrant glow and were milky white color now turning to her brother she said "*COUGH* guess.........*hugh* only one...........*hugh* could go." before shutting her eyes.
Closing his eyes Kronos let a few tears roll down his cheeks as he silently cried standing up he moved his sister to a pine tree carefully laying her down he began to dig her a grave. After a few minutes he had his sister buried praying for her soul Kronos felt a presence behind him turning he saw a massive man with a bald head and long black beard he wore deep grey armor staring Kronos down he said "So your a fallen ?"
"Yes."
"Do you wish to join me boy ?"
"Who are you ?"
"I am Atlas the true king of this world." He said waving his arms out Kronos could feel the power coming off of this man smiling he said "Good I was hoping to find you !"
"Why would you need to find me ?"
"So I could make a better future."
(3 months later)
Kronos sat down on a burnt bench looking around he saw thousands of dead soldiers none of them belonging to Atlas's small army sighing he kept thinking 'This is all for the future, This is all for the future.' Kronos looked up wishing he could speak with Cerberus but she had cut herself off only allowing him to take small portions of her power. Standing up he began to walk away from the burning wreckage of the enemy camp stepping over bodies he kept moving back to his legion.
Standing in front of his men Kronos simply motioned for them to began marching west to meet with Atlas and the rest of the army turning they began to march Kronos trailing slightly ahead. Thinking he began to remember the history of the time the battles he had won were good and would help change the time line for the better sighing he felt a hand on his shoulder turning he saw a man wearing black armor that had silver markings "Sir that battle was grand the enemy didn't even see our troops coming till we crashed upon them."
"Yes to bad they weren't better at battle."
"Agreed sir."
(4 months later)
"*COUGH* You bastard yo-*SCHLICK*" The mans sentence was cut off as a blade was plunged into his throat killing him immediately pulling the weapon out his throat Kronos spun around and threw the glaive into the final soldiers chest sending the man a few feet back. Standing up straight Kronos he threw his head back and let out a battle cry his men joining the cry. Falling to his knees Kronos feeling his shoulders slump looking down he was the dirt beneath him had blood seeping into it.
Kronos slowly stood up and began to make his way over to the slowly rising camp his men had began to make his way to his tent pushing the flaps aside he made his way over to his cot. Stripping down to his under garments he lied down on the cot staring at the ceiling sighing he felt himself drifting off to sleep.
(1 year later)
Standing next to Atlas Kronos stared ahead at the mountain city of Canterlot standing behind both men was an army thousands strong staring ahead Kronos felt a heavy hand on his shoulder looking to his left he saw Atlas staring admirably at city while saying "Soon we shall rule from that mountain my brother."
"Yes just don't forget about all of us down on the ground," Kronos said staring ahead laughing Atlas patted Kronos on his back while motioning the army to march with his other hand. Forcing their way to the mountain fighting through the Equestrian army leading them was Atlas and Kronos forcing their way into the city Kronos began to pull power from the area skillfully making sure that he didn't drain Atlas. As the two warriors made it to the gate Atlas swung his war hammer sending a massive amount of energy barreling into gates splitting them open in a massive blast running through the smoke Kronos took out his glaive and batted two bolt away from him while still running ignoring the two guards while Atlas killed both.
Fighting all the way to the throne room Atlas and Kronos burst through the final doors if you two women step down from the thrones I can promise you that you can keep you titles by marrying me all you have to do is strip."
"Like we would ever do such a thing you vile man !" snarled Lumina staring the man beside her Nyx stared at the young man next to him who never took his eyes off her smiling he winked at he snarling she said "What is with the smirk you welp !?!?"
"Because this war is over." Kronos said swinging his Glaive catching all in the room off guard for a split second and in that time Atlas managed to block his attack but not before being thrown out the window turning Kronos shouted "To the true rulers of Equestria !" raising his weapon he fired a massive amount of magic into the air.
(Battlefield)
Fighting was hell Kronos's men were defending against attacks from the Equestrian military while returning attacks when suddenly a black streak of magic shot into the sky looking up Kronos's men smiled recognizing the signal. Turning they began to attack Atlas's army while roaring "For Equestria !" confused the Equestrian military stopped their attack till random companies began to charge forward yelling "For Equestria !"
Attack the battle began to turn in favor for the Equestrian armies favor the battle would end and Atlas's army would soon be vanquished. Slowly they began to push the army back taking those who surrendered as prisoners while killing those who continued to fight and the rest they were pushed back and forced to retreat.
(Castle)
Kronos looked out the hole he made to see watching as Atlas's power began to rise a purple black aura surrounding him his eyes turning a black snarling he said "YOU DARE BETRAY ME !?!?"
"I was never on your side you psycho path !" Kronos snarled back raising his weapon to defend himself feeling a presence he turned his head slightly to see both queens standing on either side of him holding weapons looking forward he nodded and began to charge his magic hearing a very familiar voice reach out to him "SO YOU MANAGED TO TRICK ME BOY ?"
"Oh yeah sorry about that but how about we end this ?"
"SOUNDS GOOD." Cerberus said Kronos felt a warmth flood into him smiling he said to the queens "Your majesties its a privilege to fight beside you."
"For now but you will answer for what you have done." Nyx said glaring at Atlas as horns began to sprout from his head opening his mouth he let out a massive roar charging forward he swung his fist at Kronos catching him off guard he felt himself fly backwards into a column cracking the hard granite. Attacking the man Lumina and Nyx swung their swords trying to hit his armors weakest points doing a round house kick he sent both women flying into cold granite walls rushing forward Kronos began to call upon more power feeling two sets of wings sprout from his back and his eyes turning a deep purple yelling he flapped his wings rocketing himself forward shoulder charging Atlas he sent the man to the ground a few feet outside causing him to cough up blood. Continuing his attack he raised his glaive swinging it down he tried to cut the mans arm off only to feel something cold and hard slam into his rib cage.
Flying through a fountain Kronos found himself coughing up a bucket worth of blood looking up he saw the war hammer flying at him flapping his wings he did a summersault backwards landing on his feet. Seeing Atlas standing his power continued to grow his face turning a deep shade of crimson while his horns grew further curving slightly back snarling he said "YOU COULD HAVE RULED BESIDE ME BOY........BUT YOU CHOSE TO SIDE WITH A DYING COUNTRY !"
"Hahahaha course you'd say that you pathetic pile of shit."
"TO BAD I REALLY LIKED YOU KID." Atlas snarled smiling Kronos threw his glaive catching Atlas off guard feeling the cold steel bury itself in his shoulder he howled in pain trying to pry the weapon from his shoulder he felt something slam into his throat. Kronos in the split second he had lunged at the man kneeing him in his throat causing him to stagger back and fall onto his back running at him he aimed to finish the job when he felt a sharp pain in his torso looking down he saw purple black covered glass shards sticking out of him coughing he tried to force himself to stand but could only manage to keep himself on his knees. Forcing himself up Atlas ripped the weapon out of his shoulder he stomped over to Kronos he raised the glaive over his head ready to deal the final blow when he was tackled from the side by Lumina using a healthy dose of her magic she sent a blast of magic into the man causing his fall to turn into a uncontrolled rag doll state of flying.
Kronos felt the blade cut into the left side of his face gritting his teeth he forced himself to stay awake trying to stand up he used his weapon as a walking stick looking up he saw Lumina panting slightly looking at him she said "Retreat we can handle it from here on out !"
"No......*COUGH* can do." Kronos managed feeling some blood flow down his chin smiling he felt some of his wounds closing and the pain slip away sighing he began to walk with a limp. Nyx hopped out the window standing beside her sister and the man she noticed how beat up he was blood, glass, dirt, and grass covered his body looking him over she thought 'How is he even standing ?'
Hearing a primitive growling sound the three turned to see Atlas on four legs and unrecognizable as a human being he looked more like a hyena dragon combo getting low to the ground he leapt at the queens. Stepping infront of the rulers Kronos swung his blade cutting both claws of the newly formed Atlas off while the queens and himself side stepped the beast, falling to the ground he rolled over a huffing and snarling as he tried to force himself up growling Kronos stomped over to the beast and began to stab him while screaming. After what felt like eternity Kronos was pulled back to reality when he was roughly flung back by two powerful spells falling on his back he looked up to see the two queens glaring down at him looking over he saw the mutilated body of Atlas before passing out.
Three months that's how long it took for the last of Atlas's army to be eradicated from Equestria and in those three months the man who was now classified as a hero of Equestria was laying in hospital room drifting in and out of a deep coma and had died twice during those times. The sisters had dwelled deep into the mans mind learn about who he was and where he came from after doing so the two were shocked to learn about the type of future he had come to stop and from what they had to guess had succeeded the men who had helped win the war for Equestria were welcomed with open arms along with their families few (mostly nobles and older generations) didn't agree with the fallen joining society but in the end they were ignored.
(Purgatory)
Sitting in a grassy field Kronos stared at the rolling plains smiling he felt himself relax hearing a rustling noise behind him he turned to see Cerberus dressed in a black and white dress smiling sadly she said "SO PUP YOU READY TO MEET THE LORD OF THE DEAD ?"
"As i'll ever be." Kronos said standing up straight he was dressed in a white suit with a black tie and white dress shirt following Cerberus he she led him into a rose field sitting in the middle of it all was a young looking women with long pale white hair walking forward Kronos said "Excuse me lord may a sit beside you ?"
"yes you may." she said in a hushed tone that carried a heavy atmosphere to it nodding Kronos sat next to her crossing his legs he leaned back setting both hands in his lap twiddling his thumbs he said "Not to be rude but I didn't expect you to be a women."
"its quite alright but in truth I don't have a true form like you and Cerberus my form is more of one that brings comfort."
"Hmmmm I see so how does this form bring me comfort."
"i don't know only you know that......but enough of this lets jump right into this you have a chance at reincarnation, life or heaven now which do you choose ?"
"I have thought It over but over these months I have decided that heaven won't do it for me and well life........that's one we both know I cant have."
"true so you chose reincarnation ?"
"Yes but the way you explained it wasn't really reincarnation more like a new chance at life !" Kronos said turning to the lord shutting the book she turned to the man her ruby red eyes standing out against her pale skin smiling she said "because i'll just be giving you a new body in a new world."
"Yes how can-"
"believe me I've done this once before with a dragon."
"Really ?"
"yes but the form you'll be turned into won't be that of a human."
"What are you turning me into then ?"
"you'll find out if you say yes but you'll love the form." she said smiling wickedly at the man shivering he began to chuckle only to look her straight in the eyes saying "The lets get started !"
