Love and Death

Grogar and his zombie zebra servants make their way through the dangerous deserts of Saddle Arabia, with the servants caring Rex’s still wounded body on a cart.

As they went through the Deserts, Rex demand Grogar why they were out there, “Grogar you will tell me now why we are out here in Saddle Arabia of all places,”

“Simple we are looking for something to fix your wounds,”

“Eight years and now you want to fix them,”

“Why now?”

“Because a day that happen once a year, the Day of Dark Renewal is just three months away, we need you ready by then,”

“I was going to wait a few more years but with that threat by Blood Diamond has force me to speed up my plans,”

“Why, do you need me and Luna for plan?”

“No I don’t need Princess Luna for the plan,”

“Then why are you helping me, to save Luna,”

“Because she is important to you, simple as that,”

“We are here,”

Rex looked forward to see a massive temple surrounded by an Alicorn Shielding Spell,

“What is this place?”

“This the Temple of Sealed Sciography, it was a temple where the Dark Alicorns that survived the CalaVoss War stayed hidden while they did twisted experiments to create the Superior Alicorn, while doing their experiment they created many magical weapons, one in particular you need for the next part of the plan,”

“But we will never get past that shielding spell only Alicorns can go through that, if we go through that we be kill on the spot,”

“I will go it alone from here,”

“Did you not just hear me, you will be killed instant—”

Before Rex could finish Grogar step through the Alicorn Shielding Spell, and it flicker like it was about to kill him, but Grogar just kept walking, and he did not die, or even flinch.

Grogar enter the Temple, as Rex waited for his return. Weeks he was forced to wait, while still bleeding he would fall in an out consciousness. Always losing too much energy, and blood from the wounds, Rex would often have dreams of Luna, while out consciousness, she often would be too far out of his reach.

Grogar finally exited the temple caring mysterious blue Amulet. Grogar then stated,

“This Amulet once powered, will amplify your magic power tenfold,”

Grogar then placed the Amulet over Rex’s neck, as then Rex was covered in a blue glow that allowed Rex to walk again,

“My wounds no longer hurt, what kind of amulet is this,”

“This Amulet was created by the most powerful of the Dark Alicorn that ever existed, he was a tall purple Dark Alicorn, He created the Amulet with many purposes for to heal the wielder the Blood will stop soon,”

“You see Rex the reason I never healed your wounds is because the blade that you were impaled with, were cover in a spell that prevented anyone from heal the wounds that they delivered,”

“But this amulet has enough power to match a full blooded Alicorn in magic, and that is what you wield now, and now that you can move on your own we can go to our next destination is a frozen lake that north of Crystal Empire,”

Princess Luna finally arrive back in Equestria with her children and the Egg, they head to the Castle of the Two Sisters, once there Princess Luna tell her sister what happen.

Afterward, Princess Luna put the Egg in a safe place, and then put her children to bed so they could rest. Her children were tired from traveling so far. Then Princess Luna went to her room she wanted to be alone.

After Luna went to her room, there was a knock at the castle front door, Princess Celestia open the door, as Prince Blood Diamond walked in stating,

“I just heard that Luna has returned,”

“Yes she just got here an hour ago, what do you want?”

“Well I am here, because I was hoping I could have talk with Luna, about her failed attempt to bring back her dead fiancé,”

“She never attempted it, was too dangerous, besides how would you know if it would failed or not,”

“Celestia, I thought you of ponies, would been told the news,”

Meanwhile Luna walked her room and down the hallway, when she heard Blood and Celestia talking

“What news?”

“That a fire broke out in the ruins of the Canterlot Castle, and by the time anypony got there, it was dust and ash,”

“When did this happen?” Celestia asked,

“A Few days after Luna left, such a shame that journey was a complete loss from the beginning,”

Luna fell down in tears as she listen from behind a wall,

“It was all meaningless,”

“Indeed Celestia, both your missions are pointless, after all you two Alicorns are just trying save two freaks of nature,”

“What did say?”

“What, that you two loving such Abominations, that they were disasters waiting, or that they were meant to both die, Rex, and Discord,"

Prince Blood Diamond was too busy talking to notice how angry Princess Celestia getting from the raciest comments that Blood Diamond was making.

As Princess Celestia’s mane started to flare up like flame, and her coat was turning to a white ash color, there were only a few that knew of this meant only one thing that she was about to let her rarely seen anger out on Blood Diamond.

But Celestia most loyal Personnel Guard SunFire step in stop her anger with a simple look that always seem to stated that he protect her, then once she calm down, and mane and coat turned back to normal, SunFire then turn toward Prince Blood Diamond, and demanded,

“Leave at once Blood you are not welcome here,”

“How dare you order me, I am of Royalty, you are just a low level guard, I shell duel you for that,”

“Name the place and I will fight you right now,”

“Fine then this Castle’s Courtyard right now,”

Blood Diamond was expecting an easy battle, but how wrong he was when he lost in ten minutes flat. After losing the a guard, Blood Diamond left castle, then Celestia found Luna.

Rex and Grogar arrive at the frozen lake, as they enter Rex asks,

“Grogar what is our reason for being here of all place there nothing here,”

“What this place doesn’t look familiar to you at all,”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, Legend states that millions years ago, when the world ruled by tall Apes, they created CalaVoss, and for that CalaVoss slaughter them all and poured their blood in to this lake, creating what is the Frozen Lake of Blood,”

“So what does that have to do with me?”

“Because this was the where I was born, and where you will be reborn,” Grogar stated cracked the Ice causing Rex fall into the Blood Lake,

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!”

“Legend also states millions years later this area was the birth place of the very first Dark Alicorn, and he was considered to be the father of all Dark Alicorns, but after only a five hundred year reign his kingdom was overthrow by his own children, and he was curse to live in a non Alicorn image for all but one day a year,  the incredible part is that day is today, the Day of Dark Renewal”

As the Sun rose to reveal the truth. Light hit Grogar as shape began to change revealing his true form was that of a giant purple Dark Alicorn.

“What are you?”

“YOU KNOW ME AS GROGAR, BUT ALL OTHER FEAR MY TRUE NAME AS GROGAR THE FIRST DARK ALICORN!!!!!!”

“And being the first Dark Alicorn I can sense other Dark Alicorns, and even their descendants so when first saw you during the war with Tirek, I knew instantly that you were a descendant of a Dark Alicorn, After all only a pony with Dark Alicorn power in his/her blood can wield the Shadows as a weapon,”

“What?”

“That why I save you, because if you are a descendant of a Dark Alicorn, then you are a descendant of a ME, son,”

“And that’s also why I brought you here, to help you Ascend to your true potential as the new breed of Dark Alicorn, can’t you hear it Shadows as they wrap around you engulfing you in Darkness,”

As the Darkness wrapped around him, Rex could see his whole world turn black, as it change his entire body, he let out loud roar of agony that could be heard as close Crystal Empire, and as far as the Everfree Forest,

In the Castle of the Two Sister, Celestia and Luna could hear roaring, but neither could recognize the voice, for all Luna knew is that it filled her with sorrow like she reliving through losing Rex all over again.

Then the Rex’s roar of agony stop he step out of the blood as a Dark Alicorn, the blue Amulet turned red, becoming the Dark Alicorn Amulet. Indeed he had Ascended to being a Dark Alicorn and it felt Great.
