Deaths Call

The Grim Reaper was siting on his throne of skulls as he watched the colorful ponies prance in joy and happiness. There was no longer any unnatural death in Equestria. This sickened The Grim Reaper. He wanted there damned harmony to end.

When discord reformed, he lost his murderous side of him, the only thing keeping the barrier from being breached by Death.

If the creator did not put up this barrier, Equestria would have been a wasteland with no life. Discord was the main evil of the world of ponies, so the creator did not think it was appropriate to send The Grim Reaper to Equestria. Now that Discord is reformed, there is not enough evil in the world of ponies to be balanced out.

The Grim Reaper is waiting for the creator to tell him to enter the world of ponies, which, he would happily do. He was starting to grow impatient, as he watched the ponies of Equestia go about there everyday duties. This reminded Death that he needs to attend to the souls of the dead.

The Grim Reaper rose from his throne, and walked over to a door that had skulls embedded into the stone the door was made of. As he opened it, the moans of the dead could be herd. Each step he took inside of this chamber were silent. The dead were floating around him, begging to be put back in the mortal world, but Death ignored them as he walked towards a alter made entirely of bone.

The alter was stationed in the middle of a island that was connected with a path of jagged stone. Surrounding the path and island, was a bottomless cavern. Souls of the dead were rising out of the cavern, yelling pleads to be let free, to go back to there mortal life.

The Grim Reaper walked up to the alter and placed a skeleton hand on it. As soon as his hand touched the alter, his mind was flooded with the knowledge of the most recently dead souls. He separated the bad from the good, sending the bad to his domain, and the good to the land above, or heaven.

" Death, you are needed in a new land, go now and bring balance to the world of Equestria." Stated a extremely deep, male voice. If The Grim Reaper had a mouth, he would be smiling.

The Grim Reaper started his walk back to the door and opened it, only to seal it when he was on the other side. He walked over to his throne, and grabbed his scythe. He put the tip of the blade to the floor of stone, and dragged it across the ground. As the impossibly sharp blade was drug across the floor, it opened up a portal that emitted purple sparks of electricity.

The Grim Reaper stuck his blade into the closed portal, and pulled, opening the portal. He stepped onto the portal, only to start slowly sinking into the ground to enter Equestria...

} Canterlot {

Celestia was doing her normal evening paper work, before snapping her head towards her window, for she had just felt a massive amount of black magic coming from a mountain, parallel to Canterlot. She got out of her seat and trotted towards her open window to look out over the land.

Obviously, Luna had felt it too, because she landed by her sister and spoke, " Sister, did you feel that too?" Celestia nodded her head and keep staring at the mountain, because whatever made that serge of dark power, was much stronger than Somba's dark magic. " Sister, should we call for the elements?" Luna asked, while keeping her eyes on the mountain.

" No, we do not know what this possible threat is." Luna nodded her head and keep staring at the mountain in wonder and worry. " We should send out a scouting party to see what we are dealing with. It could help our cause in the long run."

" If you think that is best, then I will alert the night guard to send a scouting party." With that, Luna spread her wings, and took to the sky.

} Ponyvill {

Discord was currently relaxing on a cloud of cotton candy, thinking about the next prank he should pull. That's when he felt a huge surge of black magic coming from a mountain in the south.

" What the?" Is all he could say as his old mind tried to think of a cause this surge of magic. " I bet old sun and moon butt know what's going on." Discord left in a flash of light...

} The mountain {

The Grim Reaper rose from the portal in the ground to find himself outside a cave. He could hear snoring from inside the cave as he looked out over the world of Equestria. From the mountain he could see a small town with a massive forest beside it. He could also see a castle on the side of a mountain.

He knew of the place he was looking down at was down at was ponyvill, a small town with around 500 ponies living there. The Forest beside the small town was the Everfree Forest.

The castle on the mountain was Canterlot. Canterlot was the home of Equestria's rulers, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. It was also the capital of Equestria.

He herd the snoring turned to yawning to gaging. " What is that smell!" A deep voice shouted. The Grim Reaper knew what the smell was, it was him. He smelt like decaying flesh that been in the sun for weeks on end.

Very loud stomps were sounding behind Death, as a dragon exited the cave. When the dragon laid eyes on a hooded figure with skeleton wings, he growled the shouted, " Who are you and how dare you enter my domain!" The Grim Reaper slowly turned towards the angered dragon.

In a voice that sounded like the wind, The Grim Reaper said, " Death" His voice seemed to echo as he replied. The dragon just chuckled and took a deep breath, and shot fire towards The Grim Reaper. Death held out his boney palm, deflecting the fire off of it. A cloud of smoke was all that separated the dragon from Death.

When the smoke cleared, the dragon looked in surprise to see a unharmed, hooded figure holding his palm outwards. " Fire resistant? I will have to crush you then!" the dragon roared. The dragon lifted his paw into the air, and brought it down, trying to crush The Grim Reaper.

He was surprised to find his paw hit nothing but ground, but his confusion turned to pain when he felt a blade enter the back of his neck. He Roared in pain as Death started to drag his scythe down his neck. When The Grim Reaper reached the base of his neck, the dragon spread his wings and took to the sky.

The dragon keep twisting and turning, trying to throw of The Grim Reaper. Death eventually jumped off and flapped his wings, taking flight as well. When the dragon felt the blade exit, he started to look around for the hooded figure, only to stop when he saw his foe flying a few feet in front of him.

The Dragon roared, and tried to bite his foe, only to have a bony fist smash into his snout, making him fly backwards a few meters. The dragon realized he could not win this fight, so he turned around and started to fly away.

Death was not going to let this beast get away, so he flew onto the back of dragon, at the base of his wings. He lifted his scythe, and swung, severing the wings of the dragon.

The dragon roared in pain as it plummeted towards the town of ponyvill...
