The Whims of Royalty

The Whims of Royalty

Written by Codename: “Dauthdr”

He had to hurry. Though his armor could not be torn by any force, Dauthdr's soft flesh underneath was perfectly susceptible to his pursuer. “Land there”, he commanded, pointing at the statues in Princess Celestia's garden.

Landing, Dauthdr dismounted and immediately began walking towards the statue in the very center of the garden. He ignored his mask as it fell off his faced, shattering on the ground. The chains in his hands were glowing faintly, though looking at them made Princess Luna sick. The way they bound to her, the way they wrapped around her legs, neck, and waist. And the chaffing was terrible, she could feel the chain as it ripped open her skin more and more. “What are we doing here?” she forced herself to speak, hoping to detain him long enough that her sister could catch up, though she noted that her nausea felt worse when her mouth was open.

“Why, I am simply using the chains around you, as well as the other jewels I enchanted today, to free my master.” He stopped and turned to answer her.

“Who is you're master? Who could possibly keep you and Echo under control?”

“Why, don't you know?” The flicker of amusement on Dauthdr's face told Luna that he knew what she was up to, and was not only mocking her, but declaring his victory. “After all, you did serve him, until he killed your mother.”

“No!”, she gasped. “Impossible! You're insane!”

“Yes, and so is our master. Surely you saw this coming? After all, these chains that bind you are the Element of Avarice. You see, mankind and ponykind have never known any enemy greater than the greed of their own heart.” His mocking voice was getting to her.

“You two faced, backstabbing, son of a bitch! How dare you -”. Luna was cut off as a tug on the chains magically sealed her lips together.

“Quiet. The eclipse is starting, and so must the ritual."

Note from the author:

So, I decided to reboot the story. Hopefully, it does much better than last time.
