The Legend of Bitterblack Isle
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterA purple Alicorn sat in a desk, or more accurately, a table she was using as a desk since her actual desk was destroyed. Hundreds of papers littered the table, and in the middle of it all was a small, red, glowing Stone. or more accurately, the three pieces of it. The Alicorn
groaned, "What is that inscription?!" she yelled, since the Dragon had destroyed her window, she had devoted her time to that Stone the Human gave her, on each piece there was an inscription.
Postquam mortem halitus - novus vita indu - autem exanimis corpus
"what could it mean?!" this language was like nothing she had ever seen, through much research she had pinned down a few words.
'Postquam' meaning 'after' and 'vita' meaning 'life'. but the rest were gibberish. she had run numerous magical scans on the Stone,
it had magic in it, but not the same magic of Equestria. it was alien, to say the least.
Suddenly she felt a large wave of magic energy coming from the Everfree forest, with magic frequencies similar to teleportation
spells. "Twilight?" said a voice, her faithful assisstant, Spike. "There was a flash of light in the Library, now there's a strange book on one of the reading tables in there." he said. Twilight was perplexed, the Stone, The Human, now a Book? what could it all mean?
She went downstairs and traced a path she knew well, the path to the Library, when she wasn't doing her princess duties, or spending time with her friends, she was in the Library. often doing research on the newest topic of Magical theory.
Upon reaching the Library, she saw the book. or rather, heard the book. a million voices were whispering in her head, quiet enough that she couldn't understand them, but loud enough that she could hear them clearly. undetered, she trotted toward the Book. there was no name on the cover, and it radiated strange Magic. upon opening the book, she found strange symbols, but they were symbols she recognized
"Yes!" she yelled rejoicing the chance to get a grip on what was going on. It was written in Ancient Unicornian, a language often used in spells.
However, only the first page was decipherable, it read:
In Ancient Times there was a legend of and Island, an Island that only a chosen few could see or touch.
on this Isle there was rumored to be treasure beyond imagination. Many left to the isle for want of the treasure. few returned. saying the Isle was a hoax to lead ponies out to sea, never to be seen again. even now, rumors of a great isle persist. oft rumored to be off the easern coast.
the isle is also rumored to have a way to raise the dead, strange Stones with the insription: *Postquam mortem halitus - novus vita indu - autem exanimis corpus...***
The rest was gibberish. none the less she new what the stone was for and how to use it...
"Twilight? Are you okay?" She turned around, a Strange look on her face. "oF C0arSe Sp1K3, 3vEry th1n6 1S f1N3..."
Later That day
"Twilight! You're NOT Fine! let me off this Table!" In the dungeon of her Castle, Twilight had strapped Spike to a metal table, and the body of Flash Sentry to another. "sP1k3, Y0u w1ll B3 f1N3, CaLm d0wN." not listening to his Sister figure, continued to struggle. Twilight raised a scalpel and walked toward the dead Pegasus, makeing a sloppy incision above his Ribcage. "y0U s33 sP1k3? I'll g1V3 Y0u WhAT Y0u A11wAys3 wAnT3d, t0 B3 a P0nY!" she laughed in an evil manner, a sadistic smile plastered on her face. Taking a saw, she sloppily cut out the top of the pegasus' ribcage. she ripped out his heart and walked over to the table, placing the heart on it, she opened that cursed book and read more and more of those mad scribbles.
she burned a series of scribbles into the ground with her magic, in a shape he recognized as a Ritual Circle. placeing flash's heart on one of the three outer circles she placed the stone in the center she tuned to the book again, '"F1Rst, bL00D 0f tH3 iN0c3nT," she said walking toward Spike, she cut his claw and collected his blood in a flask, putting said flask in the second circle. "s3c0nD, H3aRt 0F tH3 V1cT1m." she said looking at the heart. "tH1rD, h0Rn 0f Th3 M0sT MaG1C" she said, breaking off the top of her horn. placing it in the last circle.
"NO!"
