The Midnight, Ray
The Hive and It's Queen
Previous ChapterChapter 3
Buzzing. That's all Ray heard as he waited for light to return with her 'Queen' and deal with Luna. "Fucking Anubis, Sent me to a techno colored world and already I used my demon form. Got a sick sense of humor if you ask me." Letting out a sign Ray stood up and decided to check over his current form. First he started with his chest pieces, moving a few of the belts around making sure they were nice and tight, then he tightened the straps to his cloak as it seemed to flow with pure darkness. Next his shin armor, which he only kicked out his legs listening for rattling, happy with the tight leg savers he then took off his gloves and wiggled his fingers letting electricity flow through them." Wonder why I'm even here." A loud thud caught Ray's attention. "Who's there?"
"A messenger of the Queen. She is ready to cast her verdict." signing, Ray simply stood and faced the direction of voice.
"Well first off, how do I get out of this room?" finally taking in his surroundings, Ray saw stone formations. Lots of stone formations, all of which has no door or windows. "Second, where are you?" The changeling signed and fazed through the wall, as if it was a waterfall.
"Here I am, And you exit through the hive gate."
"Well I feel a bit foolish, Sorry." The Changeling shook its head and bowed slightly.
"It's alright, you did seem to be-" there was a pause as if the changeling was looking for the right words to use. "-Out of it." Ray chuckled and walked past it, patting its head.
"I'll get like that, also not to sound rude but are you a male or female? Most of your voices sound the same."
"I'm a male sir." he smiled showing off his sharp fangs but quickly hid them and followed Ray out through the wall. On the other side Ray was in awe. Large emerald gems shined a peaceful yet toxic green light that seemed to brighten the whole cave system and make the place seem like a royal dungeon. "Is there any questions you have before we meet the queen?"
"Just one. Well two, first off, whats she like, And second wheres Little Light?" Ray looked around and noticed all, if any, changelings hid away from his gaze and simply flew off. "Actually, last question, What's with the others?"
"Well the queen is our mother and she does what she can for us, even risk herself to get us love." Ray raised a eyebrow. 'They eat love? sounds like they have succubus blood in them.' "As for 'Little Light' She's at our destination waiting to give you her answer about the ponies princess." I was wondering when she was going to make up her mind, got me kind of worried. After walking down this seemingly endless hallway we came across two large door made of pure jade, probably enough here to buy out a city or two in my opinion. "To answer your last question, We fear you." I was going to ask why but then I realized Light must have explained to them about my demon form and how I toyed with Luna.
"Guess I should have controlled myself better then I did. What's your opinion on me? You and the others who followed us aren't not afraid of me?" He seemed honestly surprised I knew that and stuttered for a moment then corrected himself and coughed into his hoof.
"I see you noticed, we are the ones who believe you are the reincarnation of a lost god." I smiled, for simple demons they instinctively know about a demons past life.
"Maybe. All gods turn to devils when they die. You never know what they were like as god until they die and show their real colors."
"You were a kind god." I turned and saw a nymph? Yeah a child by how big it was, and female. "You gave Changeling's, Griffon's, and Minotaur's their place and culture. It was a time of good."
"Then the ponies came." A strong looking changeling with scars walked ahead of the small group. "You greeted them with open arms and gave them their own land. Years passed as you watched over us, but then the pony ruler, King Galaxy attacked the griffons and lied to you saying it was in self-defense being wise about the situation you asked both parties what happened and came to the conclusion the ponies lied and you cursed their home with windigos, a long lost race now because the ponies grew greedy and refused to accept your punishment." He took a moment and looked dead at me. "That's where it all began. The ponies learned 'your gift' and used it to wipe out the windigos, in a attempt to stop them, We declared war on them with your blessing after much arguing between you and your three children."
"Queen Petra, Warlord Rex, and Mistress Whitetail. the first rulers of the Changeling, Minotaur's, and Griffons. Petra and Whitetail were your daughters. Rex was your only son who you cherished highly."
"And it was he who caused you to lose your sanity." I turned to find a larger Changeling with a small crown on her head, The current queen. My past life's grand daughter. "Rex died in combat against the Alicorn King Galaxy and in a fit of pure rage you attacked the king head on. Both of you fought with all your might but the king cheated you by luring you to his home and slowly drained you of your energy which turned the battle. You fell and the king as well, his queen at the time was pregnant, giving birth to Faust, Then her to Celesta and Luna. One of which, you brought here." I nodded and just looked at the queen. No matter how I looked at her I still felt she and the others were telling the truth, but like I said, You never know what they were like as god until they die and show their real colors. "Do you know what your name used to be?"
"No, but I would like to know."
"You're name, was Sin of the moon." Now that's just weird, so as a reward for being a bit to good I lose those memories and that power, guess its for the best seeing how even if I had a tiny bit if memory about that day those kids wouldn't even recognize the old me...Sin. I was brought out of my thoughts by a small tug on my cape. I looked down and saw a nymph holding out its little forelegs with the most adorable pout. Trying to resist as I looked down at the little one I asked it a question.
"where is your caretaker?" The nymph's ears splayed back and a bigger changeling stepped forward prepared to remove the child, but as I said, I tried to not fall for the cuteness, I scooped up the small bundle of adorableness and nuzzled it.
"It seems the god has a little filly for a captain." Chrysalis joked as the nymph got on my head and stayed there holding out a hoof as if she was a pirate captain. "But in all seriousness, We have desired to have a conversation about a curtain blue pony, not a history lesson. Come along Mr.Ray." I nodded being careful of the little one on my head.
"Um, does the nymphs talk or is this one to young?" Chrysalis lowered her head as she walked and signed. "Sorry if its a touchy subject."
"No no, you don't fully know so its only fair to explain. During the battle with the king, he managed to curse us and now with each generation we're losing more and more of our original self's." Now I'm glad the old me killed that fucker of a king. Hopefully it was painful as hell. Ray stood up, the nymph holding on tightly, and turned to face queen Chrysalis who flinched at his smile, his dark, sadistic smile.
"So wheres the pony?" Ray's eyes flashed a bit as he started looking at different auras. The first thing he notices is Little Light's aura was a small white ball compared to the millions of toxic green dots. "That's a lot of changelings."
"They are my children, but most of them were from the original hive run by you're now fifth generation granddaughter. Queen honey." Ray's smile dropped for a look of confusion which Chrysalis picked up on. "As I said, we're losing our self to the kings curse, Petra was the first to suffer." Ray nodded and picked the nymph up placing her on Chrysalis' back and walked past her. "Where are you heading?" He stopped and without a word being said the queen knew what he was planning. "Wait I must warn y-!"
"A eye for a fucking eye That's all I have to say." Ray then proceeded to walk up to the two large doors and pushed them open finding a extravagant throne room made of emeralds except the throne which was made of obsidian covered in neon green mosses. "Nice, now where is Little light?" Looking around again he saw Light behind the throne with another larger aura, the pony. "Light, I know your here please come out." no response was given but he saw her starting to shuffle out of her spot. "Please tell me your not scared of m-" Ray cut himself off as he saw the state Light was in. A missing wing, broken foreleg, swollen eye and a cut across her side.
"H-hi my lord, I'm sorry you had to see me like thi-" Ray cut her off as his body gave off a extremely bitter aura of anger and fear, all the changelings felt the wave of emotions. "M-my lord?"
"Who did this?"
