Celestia could tell the beast was en route to her. She reached with her magic and forced it away from her. Then she proceeded to cast and illumination spell to see here foe better. The beast had fur that was dark like the night and was covered in the blood of her ponies. It's claws were large and also covered in blood. It had legs that looked strong and a tail that could be used for balance. She could not identify the taxology of the creature but she could tell it was born to kill. Narrowing her eyes she readied a spell in order to end this beast's hunt. She was about to cast the spell when the beast did something that surprised her, it crept back in the bushes to retreat. She could not let the beast escapes and have the chance to kill more of her ponies.

She pursued the creature into the brush and tried not to lose sight of it. She slowed realizing the beast had escaped until she heard the crackling of leaves and the breaking of branches. With increased vigor Celestia tore the trees from the ground and thew them towards the coastline at least a thousand miles away. The beast jumped down from the trees and ran towards it's mountain, seeking safety from the once prey. Celestia would not let it escape though and grabbed it by it's hind legs, pulling it close to her. She glared at it as it whimpered in pain from the treatment it was receiving.

Celestia cared not for the creature's pain and dragged it across the ground towards it's mountain. She looked upon the face of the mountain and summoned her magic. Using it she created a portal to the prison of the underworld, Tartarus. She created gates to prevent the monsters inside from escaping. Then briefly opening them she cast the beast inside the pit. She slammed the gates shut and proceeded to collapse on the ground and weep.

The beast's eyes opened and surveyed it's new landscape. It looked for some form of shelter in the barren wasteland that it was trapped on. It eyes found a mountain that looked quite familiar. It felt a sensation in it's lower abdomen. It needed to hunt for it hungered greatly. In fact, it had never been so hungry in it's entire life, not even the famine. The creature expected to be weak from the hunger but was surprised t find that it felt stronger than ever. The beast was compelled to grin, something that it had not done before. Then the beast laughed, a deep resonating sound that carried through the wasteland.

Author's Note

Yes this is the last chapter. I know that story seems short, and that is because it is. It would have taken a lot more skill than I have to make this story one of the epics that are on this website, but for a first story I am happy I made it past one chapter.
