Waning Flame

Wandering through the darkness of his mind, not even having a dream, but more like a....Meeting of Luna knows what. Trail Breeze holds his breath as a figure appears in front of him. The figures features become more and more noticeable before Trail realizes who it is, anger begins to fill his body. He is just about to lunge himself at Princess Luna before magic restrains him, her voice pipes up.

"Hold my Knight hold. I am not here to mock you or punish you, but to simply talk." She stated.

"Talk about what?! You have already taken my life away from me! My sister, her son, what will they without me?!!? But you didn't care "Oh im gonna banish a loyal soldier even though he has a family to look after! ITS A GOOD IDEA!" I mean--Mmmfph!" Trail shouts before a zipper zips his mouth.

"Continue your disrespect and I will make you wish you died.... I am only here to discuss your mission, as not a lot of words will fill paper.. Before I release your body and mouth from the magic restraints and zipper, you must promise me no more disrespect." Luna asks.

The magic and magic zipper causes pain all over Trails body, he nods quickly, and just like that, its all gone. Coughing heavily, he looks at the Princess of the Moon.

"Now, Trail Breeze, I understand your anger, I understand you frustration, but please know that its all for a good cause, the good of the nation. The crusade ive sent you on requires your skills. You and only you will be able to finish it."

"Princess...Im honored to receive a mission from a Princess in the flesh, but...my family..." Trail begins but is cut off.

"Will be taken care of... But I understand you questions, im am here to answer them.. Ask away." Princess Luna says.

"Well, why me??? Why send me?" Trail asks, walking alongside Luna.

"Because of many reasons, one being that you have been Undead since the first of five months ago, second that you have finally died and would obviously, for the sake of Equestria, be banished to Lordran, and third being that your combat skills outmatch any of Lunar and, now under my jurisdiction, Solar guards. It was obvious, even my right-hoof stallion said "He is the one."" Luna said.

Trail stood silent...But felt himself waking up, he saw that Princess Luna was gone....

"I will watch over you my Soldier." Echoed.

Light began to fill the dark...dark dream.....

<><><>

Waking up, he saw that the Crestfallen pony was staring at him.

"What?" Trail asks.

"You talk in you sleep...Its creepy, the things you said."

Trail shakes his head, walking towards one place he hasn't been to yet. Walking up some stairs, he finally comes to a room with a bunch of pots and a Zebra wearing heavy armor... He looks at Trail Breeze.

"Hey, who are you?" Trail asks.

"Oh, im Ret of Zebrica." The Zebra states.

"Oh, I thought that all Zebras rhyme." Trail says, awkwardly.

"Its a common thought, but its not true, only the alchemists rhyme. But I don't have time to talk, im currently awaiting my comrades, we are supposed to delve into a catacomb later, but I don't mean it in ill-will, please take this as a token of peace." Ret says, handing over a rusty bit.

<><><>

""Hey man, I don't like you, I don't wanna be your friend, lets not chat or adventure together." Then he gives me a damn rusty bit. Asshole." Trail mutters to himself while walking through a tunnel that has floor full of water. The water cools his singed hoof, from touching the Bonfire earlier.

He comes to some stairs, deciding not to go any further into the tunnel, he walks up them, seeing more blood puddles and words written on the ground in orange, 'Trouble ahead' fills his mind with the amount of blood he sees. As he arrives at the top of the stairs only to see a pony fighting Hollowed Warriors, Trail watched as the fighting continued, the wind sounded as if some kind of music was playing. As a Hollow falls to the ground dead, he realizes that the pony that is fighting is a mare, he watches as she decapitates another Hollow, blood spills everywhere. The mares mace comes down on the last Hollows head, exploding it into a blood/brain confetti. Stunned, Trail sits there staring. The mare turns around and meets Trails gaze.

"No help are you? Hehehehe." She chuckled, kicking Trail Breeze out of his stare and back into reality.

"Uhhm... Sorry.." Trail stammers.

"Its alright, I can handle it anyway." She boasted, Trail notices the Orange mane strand peeking out from under her helmet.

"Well, nice chatting with you, but Ive got places to be....Names Aura." The mare says before disappearing.

"Woah.... Where... Where did you go?" Trail says when she disappears. No answer...

<><><>

Trail, trying to recollect what just happened, walks up a few more stairs after dealing with another Hollow.

"How did she turn disappear? She is not even a Unicorn.....How..." Trail is interrupted by a gigantic dragon landing in front of him.

"OH SHIT SHIT SHIT AHHHH!!!!" Trail screams like a little filly. Staring at the gigantic red dragon, he watches as it flies away. He sighs a breath of relief.

He walks up another set of stairs, only to see 8 Hollows waiting for him, an archer, 5 warriors, and 2 soldiers.

"Well this is gonna be fun." Trail mutters as he raises his shield...
