'' Hahahah! Is this the best you can do Alkeyore, if so how in the seven Hells did you of all wizards became a lord of magic?'' sneered the white wizard. '' Don't play games with me Teigue, I may have fallen for you're games before, but your tricks shan't aid you in this battle'' Alkeyore shot back with a blast of Dark magic, hitting Teigue in the leg. The white wizard cried out in pain as the coldness of dark magic crept unto his leg, " Give me the key or I end you for that!!!" He screamed, casting a Holy fist spell at Alke only for it to fly past his head by mere inches. ''Never!'' Shouted Alke, countering with a shadow sneak spell and melting into darkness reappearing from Teigue's shadow. Using a shadow chains spell he bound the white wizard with chains made from his own shadow, forcing him down to one knee while the burning coldness of the chains made him scream in greater pain than when Alke's spell hit his leg. ''Teigue the white,'' Alke said in a voice that echoed all around them '' Former lord of magic, I Alkeyore Blood-raven, the shadow devil, last of the lords of magic, here by find you guilty of murdering your former brothers and aiding Demons. Any last requests for old times sake?'' Teigue shoots Alke a death glare before smiling, "yes one request and one only, give up, Alke, we both know you can't defeat me.'' he says before laughing. '' hahaha, oh, by the way, hand over that key while your at it'' Alkeyore shook his head " No Teigue you shall never get the key, but I do have one question for you before i do my duty as a lord of magic.'' ''And what, pray tell, do you want to ask of me old friend, after all I have done?'' Said Teigue his smile widening. Alke grabs Teigue by the collar pulled the wizards face to his own ''why?'' he spat ''Why you did all of this, why betray us, your brothers, to aid demons?'' Teigue's smile grew into a madman's grin follow by a mad laugh, " Why? Why you ask, well why not?" He said, laughing again. ''You are blind like all the others and those who came before, the demons will have their king back, it's only inevitable. Why should we even try to protect Gaea from his wrath she shall burn in the end anyways? I figure by helping him I'll get on his good side, but most of all killing our weak brothers made me feel," His eyes rolled back in pleasure ''Alive'' Alke punched the white wizard's teeth in, knocking him to the ground,'' you sick bastard! They were our bothers, I hope you burn in the seven hells for all of time!!!" The mad white wizard begged for more pain before saying '' thanks for the pain Alke, looks like I need to repay you for the meal.'' He sneer as he cast Holy Light, melting the chains of darkness holding him, then casting Heaven's Light trapping Alke in a sphere of pure light before the dark wizard knew what had hit him. Teigue rises from his prone position, walking slow circles around the trapped wizard. Alke rushing to cast a counter spell, only for the magic to melt away from the purifying light. The mad wizard, savoring his soon to be total victory, shoves his palm into the sphere, casting Holy fury sending thousands of blades ripping into Alke's flesh leaving many wounds causing the trapped wizard to cry out in great pain. ''Now I ask again, give me the key and you shall feel no more pain.'' Said the mad wizard in a calming tone. ''Go fuck yourself, you self-righteous, divine light worshiping, fuck!'' Alke screamed in pain only to be hit by another holy fury, adding more wounds to the thousand Alke already had. Teigue sighs, '' you dark wizards are all the same, always forsaking the glorious way of light for the vile ways of darkness. Once I'm done with your copse I will visit and kill all of your kind and burn all of the books and scrolls on your magic before I free the King of demons.'' ''ha-gah-d-don't make me laugh Teigue-gah- my wizard order are safely lock away in the shadow realm only those in tune-gah-with darkness may enter those lands.'' Alke mange to say while in great pain. With a smile Teigue grabbed Alke by the throat pulling the still trapped wizard in close, '' I know I can't enter that black realm, but that doesn't mean that the Tahuians can't.'' Alke's face paled '' you're mad, you would enlist the Hunters of all beings to your monstrous quest?! Your soul is more tainted than the king's'. "He croaked. Teigue mad smile widen, as he let go of Alke '' why thank you, Alke, but it's too late for flattery. Yet I'll reward you for lasting this long.'' He laughed madly.'' Do you know what reward I have in mind for you?'' Alke takes a deep breath rubbing his throat '' cough no cough I have no idea Teigue I'm not a mind-reader.'' ''oh-oh-oh it's a simple casting'' giggled Teigue wile he pulled Alke from the sphere, causing it to form chains restraining Alke like he was earlier. '' You see Alke, believe it or not I have grown tired of killing people using tools and spells. So I've decided to end you another way.'' The mad wizard once again walking slow circles around Alke, his mad laugh echoing. '' Since my awakening to the truth of things I wondered what happens when you combine our magic with demon powers for a spell, today you're giving me the chance to test it out.'' Alke' breath quickens in horror '' No-no Teigue don't you dare mix those magics they were never meant for that. Not even the king of demons would dare to combine them!'' Alke said, struggling with his chains, only for them to tighten slightly. Teigue continued to laugh '' I know that's what makes it fun!'' his eye hardened and he growled '' Now hand over the key and I'll make the spell painless.' ' ''Never, I'd rather die a thousand deaths than give the key to the likes of you, Teigue demon's slave, fallen lord of light'' snared Alke defiantly barely ignoring the pain from his many wounds. '' I would be careful of what you say Alke, cause you know anyone who says that dies, but you will give me the key even if I have to rip out your black heart and eat it.'' threatened Teigue. Alke spat in Teigue's face '' Go fuck yourself!'' Teigue wiped the spit off and sighed '' I hope you would give in to me to make your death as painless as possible. But time is short, after all I have a job to do and a world to destroy.'' The chains tighten nearly crushing the doomed wizard as Teigue, tired of asking for the key pushed his magic into Alke's robes. Magicking the hidden necklace into his hand. "Now, was that so hard Alke, now that I have what I wanted, its time to test out that spell.'' Teigue then start to utter in the demon tongue while his open hand starts to glow with the pure aura, the one with the key beginning to glow a sickly greenish red. A magic circle appeared under Alkeyore, from him trying to form a spell to interrupt the mad wizard sickening spell of wizard-demon magic. "Te su gal tor vero lumis" Alke tried casting a simple power-up spell, yet good fortunate was not with him today. The light magic from the chains melting what little magic he gathered before he could form a spell. 'It was a good run while it lasted.' said one part of Alkeyore's mind 'what are you saying, we'll make it. We always do' said another, ''Teigue has won ''Alke said to himself. ' so? We've gotten out of deeper shit than this before.' argued his mind. '' I had magic at my side back then. This cursed light melts it away before I can form a spell.'' Alke said to his mind 'hm, yes, that might a problem at this moment. Yet you forget something, darkness is everywhere light is' his mind reminded him. ''Darkness is everywhere light is.'' He echoes, a small smile graced his lips. ''Thanks me. I think I get it now.'' ''Lor demos allta tor uma lomus demos demos Lor demos allta tor uma lomus demos demos" ''Damn sound like the chant is about to hit its final verse! Gotta form a spell!'' Alke gather his magic inside of himself, using his own body to shield the forming spell.'' Come on! Just a little more, come on sweet darkness just a little more............. that's it!!!!!' "Attla equ lomis lkmis-" "Crimson Nightmare!" Casts Alke, using every bit of magic in his body, destroying the chains binding him and interrupting Teigue before quickly ripping the key back from his hand. The interrupted foul spell, now an uncontrolled cocktail of unstable magic still hits Alke at full power ripping into his whole being; he flashed one last smile at a furious Teigue, who, rocking with rage cast thousands of spells at the inflamed wizard only for the wild spell to absorb each one adding to its power, even greater pain rocks throughout Alke body which is glowing an angry red, brighter and brighter till its light blinds all, Teigue cries out both in pain and rage as the blinding light transforms into a great pillar of red light with highlights of white and green. By the time Teigue finally opens his eyes he find both his prize and his prey have disappeared from this world. Outraged at this development he shoots out a pillar of pale flame into the air. "curse you ALKEYORE!!!!!!!!" A wizard's tale (currant version)(play music) Youtube Video The dessert was the only witness of the constants roars of battle which were filling the air as two powerful wizards, one dedicated to the light arts and the other devoted to the darkness, throw spell after spell with no hints of finishing any time soon. '' Hahahah! Is this the best you can do Alkeyore, if so… how in the seven Hells did you, of all wizards, became a lord of magic?'' sneered the wizard who was dressed in white like the light. '' Don't play foolish games with me Teigue, I may have fallen for your tricks before, but they shan't aid you in this battle'' Alkeyore shot back with a blast of his Dark magic, impacting on Teigue’s shin. The white wizard cried out in pain as the coldness of dark magic crept unto the rest of his leg, " Give me the key otherwise your end shall be undescriptible for such insult!!!" He yelled as he released the spell of The Holy fist at his enemy; only for miss by mere inches. ''Never!'' Shouted the lord of magic as he casted the spell to melt into the darkness and reappearing from Teigue's shadow. Using the Shadow Imprisonment he bound the white wizard to the ground with chains made from his own shadow, forcing him down to one knee meanwhile the coldness of the chains burned his body like he had been set ablaze. ''Teigue the white,'' The wizard voice echoed between them as he looked directly to Teigue’s eyes ''Former lord of magic, I Alkeyore Blood-raven, the shadow devil, last of the lords of magic, find you guilty under the crimes of murdering your former brothers and aiding the race of Demons.” But for the past times Alkeyore decided to give him the last words before to seal his fate. “Any last request before justice is made?” Teigue shoots his foe a death glare before smiling, "Yes… one request… and one only” The Dark wizard stepped closer to hear him with hopes that Teigue has already admitted defeat; sadly it was met with an delusion. “Give up, Alke, we both know you can't defeat me.'' he says before laughing and Alkeyore grit his teeth in response ''Oh, now that you are closer be courteous enough and hand over that key while your body is still able to do so'' Alkeyore shook his head in disappointment " No, Teigue you shall never get the key, but I do have one question for you before I do my duty as a lord of magic.'' ''And what, pray tell, what knowledge do you seek from me my old friend, after all I have done?'' Said Teigue widening his confident smile only to taunt his enemy. Taunt that worked when Alkeyore immediately grabs Teigue by the collar and pulled the wizard’s face closer to his own. ''Why?'' he spat; while his eyes expressed his hatred ''Why did you do all of this, why betray us… your own brothers, to aid those beasts which call themselves demons?'' Teigue's smile could only grew and let out a insane laugh, " Why? Why you ask… well… why not?" He said, allowing his laugh to wander without restriction. ''You are blind like all the others and those who came before, the demons will have their king back, it will not be stopped. Not by you or me or anyone!” Teigue the white continued soon after he calmed from his sudden outburst. “Why should we even try to protect Gaea from his wrath if she shall burn in the end anyways? I figured that by helping him I'll get on his good side, but most of all; killing our weak brothers made me feel…" His eyes lids slowly closed in pleasure as he licked his lips ''Alive'' The Dark wizard didn't hold back and punched the white wizard on the mouth several times until Teigue fell to the ground, '' You sick bastard! They were our brothers; I hope you burn in the seven hells for all the eternity!!!" The rage kept expressing itself. The mad wizard of the light received the blows with sadistic joy until he spoke '' I thank you for the painful lessons my old friend, looks like I need to repay you, to say at least, for such acceptable meal.'' He sneered as he casted the Holy Light on himself, melting the chains of darkness which were holding him then Heaven's Light was released trapping his once friend in a sphere of pure light, the dark wizard never knew what hit him until it was too late to counter the attack. Teigue rises from his prone position and attempted to clean his clothes now stained with blood and dirt and began to do slow circles around the trapped wizard. Alke knew the trouble he was in and rushed to cast a counter spell, only for the magic to melt away by the purifying light. The mad wizard, savoring his soon to be total victory, shoves his palm into the sphere, and cast The Holy Fury sending thousands of blades made of light ripping into Alkeyore’s flesh leaving many open wounds around his body causing the trapped wizard to cry out in great pain; cries were the most beautiful musical notes to the ears of Teigue. He was enjoying the moment so much that he stopped his offensive spell only to hear the wails of agony coming from the sphere. ''Now I ask again, give me the key and you shall feel no more pain.'' Offered the mad wizard in a calming tone despite he enjoyed the pain that was inflicting to his foe. ''Go fuck yourself, you self-righteous, divine light worshiping.. ‘’ “GAH!'' The lord of magic yelled in pain only to be hit by another wave of the Holy Fury, adding more wounds to the thousand which the encaged wizard already had. Teigue sighs in frustration, ''You dark wizards are all the same, always forsaking the glorious way of light for the vile path of darkness. Once I'm done with your corpse I will visit your order and make sure that your kind existence is only a faint rumor before I free the King of demons.'' ''Do-...don't make me laugh Teigue...my guild is safely locked away in the shadow realm, only to those in tune...with the darkness may enter those lands.'' The trapped wizard managed to say while the pain burned through his wounds. With a smile Teigue grabbed Alke by the throat pulling the still trapped wizard closer, '' I know I can't enter that despicable black realm, but that doesn't mean that the Tahuians can't.'' Alkeyore’s face became paler as the remaining blood inside his veins froze ''you're mad…” What Teigue declared was too horrifying to believe him at first “You would enlist the Hunters of all beings to your monstrous quest?! Your soul is more tainted than the king's'. "He croaked. Teigue’s insane grin widened even more, as his grip on the lord of magic loosened ''Why thank you, Alke, but it's too late for flattery. Yet I'll reward you for lasting this long.'' The environment around them became stained with the laugh of an insane wizard. ''Do you even know what kind of reward I have reserved for you?'' Alkeyore took a deep breath rubbing his throat before coughing “…no…*cough*... I have no idea Teigue because I was not taught to read mind of monsters.'' Teigue ignored the insult as he continued his speech of victory ''Oh... but it's a simple spell'' giggled Teigue. ''You see my old friend, believe it or not I have grown tired of killing people using mere tools or spells. So I've come to the conclusion that you deserve another kind of death'' The mad wizard once again began to walk around the dark wizard’s cage as he savored each detail from the vulnerable position which Alkeyore was '' Since my eyes were opened to the truth my mind wondered for a long while; what happens when you combine our magic with demon’s for a spell” Despite Alke was weak and broken; his eyes widened at Teigue’s intentions “ Today you're giving me the perfect chance to test it out.'' Alkeyore’s breath quickened in horror ''N-no Teigue, don't you dare combine those two kind of magic, they were never meant for that!” He knew that his words held no importance to his soon to be executioner but he never gave up. “Not even the king of demons would dare to combine them!'' The worried wizard said, struggling to break free from his chains that the light sphere created, only for them to tighten with every move he dared to do. Teigue continued chuckled at the stupid pleads of his prisoners'' I know, and that's what makes it even more interesting!'' his eyes and face hardened becoming serious before he made a last request ''Now give up the key and I assure you that the result of the combination will be painless as possible” ''Never!, I'd rather die a thousand deaths than give up the key to the fiends like you, Teigue now the demon's slave, fallen lord of light'' snared Alkeyore defiantly, barely ignoring the constant pain from his wounds that kept bleeding ceaseless; and each passing second his body felt cold and numb. Signs that were telling him that his end was near; yet he would not die without fighting for what is just. As confident as Teigue was on his victory; he dared to make a small hole on the light sphere and get closer to the defiant face of the dark wizard'' I would be careful of what you say Alkeyore, because you know better than anybody the fate that wait to the ones who dare to at least pronounce those words, but you will give me the key at the end…” At that point his voice darkened ”Even if that means to rip out your black heart and eat it in front of your dying eyes'' threatened Teigue. Alkeyore without hesitation spat in Teigue's face '' Go fuck yourself!'' Teigue became more and more frustrated of his enemy attitude despite all hope was lost for him, yet he wiped the spit off and sighed in fake disappointment '' I hoped that you would have given in so your death would have been as painless as possible. But time is short after all, I have a job to do and a world to destroy.'' The chains tighten around the body of the doomed wizard nearly crushing all the bones meanwhile Teigue became tired of asking for the key and forced his magic into the robes of the dark wizard. He tried to fight but the chains, the uncountable wounds and the purification light made him impossible to prevent Teigue to retrieve the necklace, which contained the key, from his wrist. "Now, was that so hard my dear friend?” The white wizard gave a small genuine smile yet filled with pure malevolence. “Now that I have what I craved for, it’s time to begin turn the theory to experimentation .'' Teigue then start to utter in the demon tongue meanwhile his open hand starts to glow with the pure aura, and the other which held the key began to glow a sickly greenish red. A magic circle appeared under Alkeyore position, from him trying to form a spell to interrupt the mad wizard sickening hybrid spell. "Te su gal tor vero lumis" The lord of magic tried to cast the simplest of power-up spell, yet good fortune was not with him today. The purifying magic from the chains dispersed what little magic he had before he could form a single spell. 'It was a good attempt while it lasted.' said one part of Alkeyore's mind, which accepted the fate 'What are you saying, we will find a way. We always do' said another which refused to give up, ''Teigue has won ''Alke said to himself. 'So? We've gotten out of much worse situations than this in the past.' argued his mind. ''I was able to rely on my magic back then. This cursed light melts every magical spark before I can form a spell.'' Alke said to his mind 'Yes I understand our problem at this moment. Yet you forget something very important about our magic, darkness is everywhere light is' his mind reminded him. ''Darkness is everywhere light is.'' He echoes, as a small smile full of hope graced his lips. '' I think I get it now. It seems that fate decided that this is not my time yet'' ''Lor demos allta tor uma lomus demos demos Lor demos allta tor uma lomus demos demos" ''Damnation it sounds like is about to hit its final verse! I must act quick!'' Alkeyore didn't waste anytime as he began to gather all the remaining magic that still flowed inside his body then using his own body to create a small point of darkness yet it was enough to form a spell. ''Come on! Just a little more, come on sweet darkness just a little more.........” The seconds felt like an eternity; but he still had faith in the darkness to save him. Faith that was graced with the prize of a spell ready to be released. “That's it!!!!!” "Attla equ lomis lkmis-" "Crimson Nightmare!" Shouted Alkeyore, using every bit of magic in his body, destroying the chains binding him at the same time of the sphere; the backlash explosion impacted Teigue causing to the new kind of magic incomplete. Time that the dark wizard didn't waste and as fast as possible he retrieve the key from his enemy grasp, but he was unknow of the consequences of the unfinished spell. The spell was incomplete resulting to become an uncontrolled cocktail of unstable magic which hits the now free wizard with all its power ripping into his whole being; he flashed one last smile at a furious Teigue, despite the pain was unbearable he couldn't scream. Teigue became the embodiment of rage for underestimate his enemy as his rage expressed in waves of waves of deathly spells which were directed at the inflamed wizard; but it was in vain every single spell was absorbed by the wild spell which increased its size to dangerous measures, yet the wizard of the darkness wasn't doing any better his whole body was glowing a bloody red aura he kept suffering in utter silence as the aura expanded to the point to became unstable and explode in a miniature supernova, Teigue was thrown away from his position several meters yelling curses at his enemy for his cowardice, the supernova then transformed in two different pillars skywards, each pillar represented the type of magic which was combined, the sickening green was for the demon’s magic which Teigue used without care but the other pillar was the same tone of bloody red which Alkeyore had around his body. By the time Teigue opened his eyes he found his prize and his prey were replaced by a burning crater. Outraged at the unfair development of events he screamed in anger as his hands released pillars of flames of the Holy light to sky. "CURSE YOU ALKEYORE!!!!!!!!" Wolf in Wood (the original)In the far future My glowing white eyes stared at the river as the current ran like the ever blowing wind, I simply sat at it's edge just watching the dark water burble and eddy past the outcrop of stones. I sat like that for a few long, silent minutes, lost in remembrance as the cool summer breeze gently brush against my worn rotting wooden frame my long moss mane swing in the said breeze. Voices and faces long since past filled what one would call my ears.... a small smile crack in my wooden muzzle, I close my glowing eyes holding onto the faces so many memories such fond memories they are, even now in my old age I still could recall them clearly Rainbow Dash that old hag was a bitch to the end, Twilight Sparkle she's a fool only just a bigger fool now........that arrogant bastard of an prince, Blueblood better known as Blueballs so many others come to mind.....but there only one face I truly wish to see one last time the face of my love oh how I miss her tis seem only yesterday when we first meet at this very same river how I long to hold her in my thorny paws one more time feel her soft silky fur against my rough wooden hide.

''Come on out tis bad manners to stalk a wolf'' I called out to my 'guest' refusing to turn away from the river. No answer ''I know you're there, I been smelling your stinking hind all the way from town'' Still no answer I felt another weak smile crack in my rotting wood ''Fine be like that, there's nothing stopping me from contacting Celestia and Luna~ A deep growl echo all round me attempting to frighten me with pure intimation ''Oh what an terrorizing growl I'm shaking in my roots'' I mockingly laugh '' What's wrong scared of some petty ponies'' I could see ''it's'' smokie reflection in the water as it lurked behind me. ''GrRrR DoN't mOcK Us OlD fOoL wE cOuLd kIlL yOu WhErE yOu StAnD'' growled a sweet voice ''Hen I'm sure you could but then again I will be gone soon enough plus it's not your style to do something that would do me some good eh'' I said smugly ''Besides I had always known that you'll would come for me eventually'' ''YeS yOu ArE cOrReCt On MaNy CoUnTs oAkFaNg, We wOUld RaTheR you SUffer LiKe tHe DoG yOU ArE tHeN tO HeLP yUO aNd Of CoURsE wE CoMe FoR YOu wE AlWaYs CoMe To TakE WhaT is OURS!!!'' said the sweet voice mirthfully ''Hmm perhaps yet you forget I'm haven't been 'yours' for how long......ah yes 1052 years maybe more maybe less'' I said with an wolfish chuckle taking out my pipe ''you mind if I smoke?''

Wolf in Wood (rewritten)An thousand years in the future Youtube Video My glowing white eyes stared at the river as the current ran like the ever blowing wind, I simply sat at it's edge just watching the dark water burble and eddy past the outcrop of stones.

''Come on out tis bad manners to stalk a wolf'' I called out to my 'guest' refusing to turn away from the river. I knew who it was scent is something you can't really mask for an born hunter, if I was younger I would be more aggressive towards her but now in my advance age it did little to bother me. It funny you know if you live long enough things that use to bother you lose that ability in mere years. No answer ''I know you're there, I been smelling your stinking hind all the way from town, out on out and quit sulking like an changeling '' I said while shaking my head at my guest antics disapprovingly '' speaking of changelings hows your colt? I hear he's married an changeling princess perhaps attempting to unite the ponies with their changeling breadth.'' this time my only answer was an set of hooves clopping unseen the only reason why cause I keep my graze upon the swirling waters.......it would so easy all I had to do was jump and then I would be reunited with my love. Yet in my heart I knew she wouldn't want that, hen she'll probably kick my wooden ass back into the world of living to live my last few seasons. would it be worth it? to see her again by taking my own life............my heart tells me yes while I know that it wasn't the case I still had a few loose ends to tie before I could finally sleep the final sleep. ''Oakfang'' said an familiar feminine voice from behind me '' what are you doing at here you should be back in Ponyville with the rest of our friends.'' Your friends you mean Twilight, mine are all gone for I am the only one left.'' I said while taking out my most prized possession an pipe that my love had given to me for our first hearths warming together it was an simple wooden pipe but in it was craved our names........it all I had left to remember by ''you mind if I smoke?'' ''Yes I do mind it's not healthy and destroys the lungs......Oakfang you shouldn't be like to that our friends they love having you around especially when you tell stories'' said Twilight with an pout '' Suite yourself my little pony,'' I said nonchalantly while lighting up my pipe for an drag. taking an slow n deep drag from the pipe the smoke leaked out from the cracks in my rotting wood Timber wolves never aged pretty rotting wood, very uncomfortable swelling knots in our wood.......falling apart think of an very old wooden house and you'll would be close to how an Timber wolves ages. ''Twilight you remember this river? '' It's called the vanishing river only on truly sunny days the waters could be seen, if not sunny then the river disappears from sight but it's still there........something to do with the natural magics of Equestria '' said Twilight no doubt using the knowledge she had gathered in her library I never understood how she even could live in one dusky old books buried in layers of dust at an time it's not something I would call normal then again it is Ponyville after all and who am I too judge? I am an Timber wolf that left the Everfree, to an town of strange and weird ponies I am the strange one. ''for me it's where I first met her...........'' I tail off falling into silence for an few moments my memory started to grow a bit hazy with an shake of my head I casted off the haziness focusing on my love's violent eyes '' I'm dying Twilight......I know it you know it, I don't have too feel it in my wood to know it .'' ''Oakfang.....'' said Twilight in sad tone I didn't need to look at her to know that her head was down in an submission pose if I was an younger wolf this would had been the perfect time to strike but I am not, we both had grew out of the people we were when we were younger. '' it doesn't have to be this way I'm sure that we could find the c- She stops in mid-sentence when she noticed my glowing white eyes were looking at her '' Twilight stop, just stop this is something that happens no magic is ever going to fix me, you learn that when your friends died nine hundred years ago'' ''But'' said Twilight sheepishly her Amethyst eyes failed to met me in the eye '' its not death or age that's taking it's toll on you......it's something else......please Oakfang let me help you'' Taking a couple more drags from the pipe I thought of Twilight's offer......what if she could reverse the damage? it could very well save my life but was it worth it? Death will come for me if not now but just in an few odd years, Twilight wouldn't be left alone yet she still has her family and the other Alicorns to keep her company........I had nothing keeping me here. No it would be worth living one more year ''I wish to tell you a story Twilight'' Shadow n flames (abandon)Prologue The Last Guardian of Thorh-un-gul · Deep in the Everfree forest Despair's mind-space Beware, beware of the eyes in flames Cloaked in darkness dwells in the shadows of the room Flee you fool for when he's ah'coming Near is your End Beware, beware of the eyes in flames is coming for you Run and hide, run and hide Pray that he never finds you If he finds you then you surely will die you surely will die For no one can save you When Despair has you ''Ahhhhhhhhh curse the one who made that dammed song'' shots Despair, ''Why that song still stuck in mah head after all these eons.'' The shadow-kin flops back into his ''chair'' his head falling into his draconian claws each sporting five talons cradling the said head ''I can't handle another 50,687,878,743,289,756,431 years trapped as a fucking statue,'' he looks up from his claws glancing at that once mighty capital city now ruins severing as his and his long dead allies tomb, looking to the ''sky'' pleadingly ''If the gods both known and unknown can hear me then mark these words I would do anything to be out anything you hear me I know you assholes can, let me out.’’ No answer was given to the trapped shadow. ''Fucking cunts'' he whispers to himself. He sighs as his hauntingly hellish fiery red eyes once again glance at the ruin city he once protected ''A shame ain't it , this city was once the greatest city ever-build by monster hands....ahem claws; so mighty; so majestic; so beautiful; the pride of all the monster races; I truly cared from her; now look at what they done to her so ruin; so dead as if you can still herd its denizens cry out in anguish over this once grand city.'' He gives a sad chuckled as his eyes fall to the nearby 9 ft horned skeleton in old now dust torn rags holding a smaller skeleton in a lovers embrace the sealed shadow felt a sad smile appear on his ''face'' his thoughts go back to the day he was dragged into this mess. Memory Sequence many years ago ''Yo Wind ya think he would bother to help us after all these years'' asked a short human woman in goggles and the stank of gunpowder standing outside of a dimly lit cave. ''Yes I do havoc, he may never forgotten all what Humanity (the human race) and Monsterity (the monster races) done to him, may his heart is now colder ice but I know him very well, Despair will help us faster then anybody else.'' said the 9 ft. tall blue skinned Horned monster known as a Wendigo by the name of Wind steeling himself to enter the shadow-kin's lair. ''But Despair's a monster hunter by trade if ya go in there, he'll kill ya faster than a jackrabbit on the fourth of July!'' said Havoc worried for her monster lover. ''Don't worry love Despair wouldn't harm me........well he would at least hear me out first before going for a kill'' Wind dryly laughs only for Havoc to deadpan saying yeah that make me feel better as if, Wind embraces her whispering ''All shall be fine'' before entering the dimly lit cave. Hours pass as Wind silently weft through the passages of the lair worry glancing at the severed heads of both monster and human alike hang for the ceiling warning all to turn back. Wind once again steel himself with the knowledge that if he doesn't find Despair all would be lost. Deeper into the gloom he went the path growing damp and unsure leading him to a large camber. ''Dead end???'' Wind asked himself ''I don't remember there being a dead end here.'' he looks around for an path yet not a one comes to light, ''Maybe I took a wrong turn.'' he turns around to go back only to wittiness the old path to fade away into the shadows the wendigo smiles knowingly ''Despair, I know you there I come here seeking your guidance old friend!'' Wind call out. no answer. ''Please old friend we have need of you!'' beg the winter spirit. '' Turn back fool for no help ye shall find in this place.'' whisper a disembodied voice in a sad tone. '' No I shall not go Despair, I seek your aid!'' called Wind. '' I said go away Wind what need you of all monsters have of a shadow.'' ''War is coming.'' said Wind sorrowfully. '' War??? with whom I ask?'' ''Despair the time of hiding is over they know.'' said Wind cryptically. ''I see the council has finally heeded my warnings only but all too late, what it has to do with me.'' ''The council has called all monsters to Thorh-un-gul (the monsters capital city) to prepare for the battles to come.'' said Wind. '' Why need me you know I have no love for both the council and the humans, you know what they done to me why I should bother with their problems.'' ''I remember what happen well Despair, but now is not the time to hold grudges we need to get the team back to together.'' said Wind. '' Is it you who want the oath-keepers to return or is it the council ether way I want no part of the keepers.'' ''Both Despair both me and the council need the keepers to return to guard the city once more.'' replay Wind. '' Eh in the end it matters not if the keepers are there or not I still see no need for me to return.'' Wind huffs '' I see that your years in away from the field has rob you of your wrathful courage what would they say the once great Despair is now nothing but a coward.'' A roar fill the room as Wind felt a blade made of shadow dangerously close to his throat his body binned by a force ''Is that a challenge!!!!'' roared Despair.. ''Only if you make it into one Despair'' said Wind '' the choice is yours old friend.'' Despair remove his blade and releases Winds body from his grasp '' Fine you want Despair's wrath in the keepers then you shall have my wrath old friend.'' End Memory Sequence present time ''Hahaha, he knew along that I would help to protect Thorh-un-gul in the end and here I'm still guarding her even if she in ruins.'' Despair muttering aloud, ‘’I wonder what would happen if I never joined Wind in the mission would the war end on a different note then again if I wasn't there then who would push him out of the way of that strange beam, then he would be stone instead of me so I guesses in a way I saved him from this fate yet only to die in Havoc's arms, its seem ironic that despair saves love.’’ A series of loud crashes sounds echo off the ruin walls followed by painful moaning. ''What the hell was that,'' thought Despair ''Wait moaning???'' A few hours before the crash Unknown pov In a different part of the Everfree in a stood a tree-house where Daring do the world famous tomb raider, author, now newly wed was once again fighting her sworn enemy(still in her wedding gown). The dread Ahuizoti of the Southern Jungles, (who wearing a tribe-full head dress with eagle feathered skit) the two nemesis began a wrestling match. Destroying the once furnish bedroom redecorating it into a pigsty quickly, Daring once again pin Ahui down her plot in his lap suggestively. ''Ha I win again come on Ahui you should of learn by now the you will never beat me.'' said Daring smugly Ahui smiles knowingly ''On the contrarily miss Do you should know after the years of plotting against you, I always have a tick up ma ''sleeve'' his tail snake from his backside its hand-like tip slips under her gown sensitively brushing her plot make it's way to her tan feathered wings She grasps at Ahui's touch seemly melt father into his broad chest her eyes roll back in pleasure a deep blush on her muzzle ''Oh Ahui'' she purred, ''You know just how to touch me, ohhhhh mama likes'' His smile widens before closing in kissing her deeply, Daring moans into his mouth as her tongue brushes against his long fangs adding a sense of danger to the kiss that makes her want her newly husband even more, sadly Ahui breaks the kiss to soon for her liking to take deep breaths of much need air. Deep breathing ''Oh sweet mercifully haven'' the blue monkey-like Sphinx swerved, ''Daring baby I swear that your kisses are like the greatest treasure I ever hunted why I didn't married you sooner I don't know.'' his paw out stench to his lover's muzzle who in-return meet it with a nuzzle ''Mm-mm, I don't see why you didn't back then but you were such a fool in those days.'' Daring hums ''No, I would be a fool if I never to work up the nerve to ask you out last year, now here we are married'' he says happily She pucks his cheek ''You sweet talker you'' she giggles, ''Trying to earn brownie points huh'' Ahui massages his chin in though ''Maybe yes maybe no'' then he nuzzles her, ''Care to find out'' he whispers into her ear suggestively before nipping it Daring hums in thought her hoof gently brushing his chest fur ''Nope,'' she jumps off of his lap adding a swing to her hips trotting to the side bathroom turning her head back to her husband winking ''Maybe tonight'' entering the bathroom her hoof bucking the door close changing out her gown, starting the bath calling back to Ahui on the other side '' Hay Ahui.'' ''Yes Dares.'' ''Wanna explore the Everfree herd that there are still many secrets in these woods that even the Princesses don't know'' She says checking the water temp. nodding her head approvely before sipping in Ahui hums ''Sure why not'' also changing out of his tribe's wedding suite ''What you think is waiting for us in the forest'' Her wing grabbing the soap ''Besides manticores, timber-wolves, Hydras, other Everfree animals no idea that the best part.’’ Ahui chuckles ''You always looked your best when danger is near,'' his back leaning on the door only for it to open causing him to land on his tail yelping ''ouch' with Daring sporting a arousing wet mane and soapy body starring down at Ahui smugly mareishly giggling ''You know if you wanted to join me all you had to do was ask.'' Sometime later After horsing around Daring and Ahui was deep in the forest taking time to marvel at the woods that all ponies feared, (mines Daring) unlike the those ponies Daring spent most of her life in the wild places of Equuis danced narrowly with death on many of nights; Ahui on the other hoof like her also spent his life in the wilds yet unlike her; he was born into the wilds while she was from Canterlot giving him a greater connection with said wilds. She still remembers the day they first met back then, she was nothing but a lost and frighten philly that was washed on the shores of Ahui's homeland the Great Southern Jungles. As the fates would have it, Ahui was to be the one to find her on the fateful day, a mere brave of the local Sphinx tribe, he dragged her body from the sea to safety saving her life and nurse her back to health sadly back then she was quite the spoiled noble's daughter she put the young Ahui life though Tatarus but over the time she spend with Ahui and his tribe her thirst for adventure (and newly relies love for Ahui) grew. She smiles warmly thinking of the many adventure they had before becoming rivals in the tomb raiding world then as of last year lovers after saving her like he first did all those years ago. She was so deep in thought she didn't notice the hidden hole in the ground till she felt nothing but air under her hooves she gasps ''AHUI.......'' as she plummets down the hole with Ahui calling her name, jumping in after her hitting rocks, trembling against the walls of the long tunnel of the hole soon landing next to his love in piles of ancient bones moaning loudly before everything went black The Hand Of Despair (currant)Hidden away in the very bowels of the earth, where the light is a faint rumor; is the long forgotten deeps where no one ever ventured. But such claim is wrong; there stands utterly alone a statue that mix with the dark that only the most perceptive of eyes can see its form from afar, this statue was unlike any that had been build in civilizations, the statues were known to show power, victory, sadness, regret, calmness, happiness, memories. However this black pillar of stone could only spoke of the negative aspects that never are showed in statues because art I supposed to be beautiful not terrifying. The shape of the cave where is located has several tunnels connecting to it either be smaller or bigger allowing to the air to reach the place but still barely; however it can create the harmony of the caves filling the environment with its baleful melodies. But the melodies are not alone; is accompanied by a voice a deep one which is distorted but when one can manage to understand it is possible to hear the lyrics of a song; if that can be considered as one. Beware Beware, beware from the eyes in yellowish flames We’re one with the darkness Dwells in the shadows Especially yours, Don’t try to flee Because betray yourself you will Near is your End Beware The light is your enemy The darkness is your doom Run and hide, If you can Let your prays loose When he reaches you You will die “I still find amusement with that tune after countless years of playing it back.'' A voice emanated from the supposed artistically structure yet the faint mirth in its voice fades leaving it an empty silent shell for a while. “No!” “Is been EONS, how much longer must I suffer in this gloom!?'' One would believe that there inside a statue there is nothing but as it had been stated before this statue is different from the others meaning that it was a mental escape where the only resident remain there, what lurked in the surreal land was a ‘thing’; describing it with words would have been an impossible task. ''I cannot endure another year inside of this miserable statue,'' he growled with venom and fretfulness, supposedly his form was sitting upon a small structure that served as a seat he didn’t find comfort from it not because the seat wasn’t comfortable because it was fantasy however he still was aware that a body has limbs; even if it was moldable at his tastes, his surrounding both mental and external were pure darkness but from his pseudo-eyes he could see the faint ghost forms of what used to be a capital city where people used to live; more than anger was dread the overwhelming feeling that at last came victorious. His gaze went upwards meeting the nothingness, also can be called the void, there was no point in shouting and yelling curses, furthermore for meaningless pleads and cries of anguish; he passed several centuries intercalating between them. Anyways it served him somehow to spend the time; but immortality is a curse. “Freedom! I demand liberation from this humiliating prison!” As always and expected no answer arrived to him. ''HARLOTS!!'' he roared to the void that was supposedly the sky in his mental escape “My freedom will arrive!'' Silence. He sighed as his hauntingly yellow pseudo-eyes focused on the outside world; or outside prison, so once again he could take a glance at the debris that used to be city.......his proud city. “Thorth-un-gol … seeing you in this state destroy me from the inside, where are your majestic buildings? Your arcane towers? Your proud citizens? The sanctuaries? Your vast fields of natural life?'' He remembers, he recalls the events of that fateful day when the need arises or when he tries to analyses the situation and think what he could’ve done. But this time it was neither of those two, he simply wanted to remember in fake peace. ***Memory Sequence many years ago*** The Great City of Thorth-un-gol, the hidden capital city of unique living beings that stood proud for more than two thousand years… Was collapsing by the hellish flames… Ever city gates were surrounded by armies of Humanity, humanity forgot each other differences and their long history of distrust and wars ended, because they shared a common goal, one single purpose. Purge the world from the plague. Humanity held dear the belief that the monsters are to be hunted to the last; to their eyes monsters were irrational creatures which their bloodlust was the only thing they could follow. Humanity after reconciling with each other became proud in their numbers, vast armies and especially their technology, and with pride and high morale they began their assault on the city starting to siege the walls; however their armies were pushed back by the braves forces charged to protect those walls with their very lives no matter the cost. The army consisted in every monster that was known in the world and was registered in the human’s archives; Werewolves, Harpies, Giants, Elves; Windigos, Vampires, Minotaurs, Fauns, Gorgons, Ghosts, Trolls, Witches, Zombies, and many others species fought against the persistent humans who tried to force their way in to the city. http://cddiski-s3.s3.amazonaws.com/40353/screenshot/e2a8c69f.jpg The Goliath was the pride of the last technological masterpiece of human engineers’ creation; kings and generals held together several banquets after the first Goliath was finished, the maximum weapon. Deforestations were done; iron mines were emptied of its resources, quarries were drastically reduced only to produce these masterpieces. Bigger than the giants and also stronger, power to crush entire squads, able to spread boiling oil around it, spit fire like a dragon and several canons accompanied by rifles and crossbows. Truly a masterpiece. The numbers in the battlefield were unknown to the defense forces but they couldn’t focus to such things while their own giants were trying to destroy the first deployed Goliath. But also they couldn’t forget that they had other war-machines to worry for, though unlike the Goliaths some of them were useless against the Trolls who their size and strength could destroy them in a single blow and the goblins easily dismantled them from the inside. But since the arrivals of the warfare master piece the fighting spirit of the humans skyrocketed, and their numbers were something to not laugh of, Thorth-un-gol’s forces were outnumbered 450 to 1; it was a lost battle. It didn’t matter that they were repelling waves of waves of enemy soldiers it was matter of time for the line of defense to succumb to the enemy. However any of the soldiers were going to fall until they have killed enough, no matter if they were impaled, shoot, pierced, burned, cut; they would use their last breath to deliver a killing blow. ''Captain!'' a strained shout of an ogre could be heard from afar; the same word repeating over and over again and it became louder, the ogre was wounded from both bullets and arrows, his leather armor seemed useless against the power of the fire arms ''Captain Azwraith!! The east gate is failing!! Captain Wind called for reinforcements!” “Another giant appeared in the battlefield!!!” The ogre finisihed with another terrible notice, each appearance of an artificial giant was a terrible blow to the army morale. '' DAMNATION!!'' Yelled a grim figure that had resemblance with human silhouette, the yellow flames which served as the eyes turned blood red. ''Its impossible!! The north gate had already fallen; those cursed abominations of giants are wiping out everything that attempt to block its path.'' “But the east gate will fall too!” “THEN GO AND DEFEND IT!” The black figure was no more, his final shout turned him completely red. Silence followed, the red color slowly returned to the natural grim dark, Azwraith Nevermore sighed knowingly the reality of the situation at hand, his city was going to be destroyed. '' Captain I was ordered to search for your aid in the battlefield.'' The wounded soldier spoke, his breaths becoming labored as the time was wasted inefficiently. “There are no more troops to deploy, reinforcements is an impossible task.” The soldier averted his gaze to another place but Azwraith’s pseudo-eyes., disappointment and small hint of despair descending upon his shoulders, he a powerful ogre grunt was scared. “I shall head to the east gate.” The shadow began to take form, he could be anything that he wanted; he could change at will but he always had preference to the human form. However that didn’t mean that he would keep the form one hundred accurately; this time he took a form of an hybrid a combination of all the species known by him. He had already set on his will that he will take down at least one of those fake giants. “Captain?” “I shall be the reinforcements for the Captain Wind, bring your hand.” The brutish soldier was hesitant but those thoughts were shaken off hastily and with determination he grabbed the supposed hand of his captain and placed a considerable grip on it. He felt how the wounds of his body were closing as the pieces of metals were falling to the floor, then he saw that he had been healed. “Now is time for us to head to the battlefield where our brothers are fighting with courage.” *** End Memory Sequence******* A series of loud sounds echoed through the darkness, it was rocks or ruins falling; and there were only two possibilities for a rock or ruins fall inside the cave, either be that there was an earthquake or that something found the a way to enter the remains of a fallen city. But if it was an earth quake I would have felt the incoming waves from the underground and it would have been louder, leading me to conclude that indeed was a living being who has entered the scorched grounds of Thorth-un-gol. I’m curious; I want to know the foolish being that dared to invade my sacred land. Between the trees of the Everfree forest, resided a tree but a different tree; unlike the thousands of trees inside the forest this specifically one had a small but well maintained tree-house, the residence had an owner who was very famous and for being famous being secluded was the best option to avoid crowds and more. Inside the small build currently was a tan Pegasus mare dressed in her symbolic explorer shirt and her famous adventurer hat; of course we are talking about Daring Doo, the author of the Daring Doo’s series a world famous book, which is rumored that even the princesses read the books. However the author was debating with herself, a lot of things were on her mind but only two issues were which she put more effort to find a solution; the first was about take a bath or not and the second topic was about her last book. 'Daring do and the Golden Dragon's Tooth' was … Different. A failure in sales to be brutally honest. Her right hoof passed over her face as she groaned in annoyance; she blamed those critics and also the company who was designed to publish and announce her work; Daring put a lot of effort in trying to create something new with her last book a different kind of adventure if it could be said; but sometimes what one like doesn’t mean that the rest will do. She blamed the company for not revising the contents or even tried to stop her from publishing the book, she recalled a long time ago when she submitted her first book to the company and they were extremely critical and very perfectionist with the details and since she became famous they trusted her that whatever she gives would be top quality, they trusted her too much it seems. To her unpleasant surprise also her fans sent letters to her; she was accustomed to them and always it had written on them about how awesome the book was or asking about a sneak peak for the next book, but this time was different; really but really different. This time the letter contained complains and insult, it could be called hate-mail; however between all those letter something held in common, the book was horrible and deserved to be destroyed for good. Daring never thought that she would use her fans’ letters for maintain the fire of her chimney, and here it is doing what she never thought she would do, over and over again a letter was send to be burned but she separated one from the rest because it was formal unlike the others, she had an idea of who was the responsible. She was right, the company threatened her. She needed to write another and bring it over as soon as possible, and it must return the fame that the Daring Doo series had before the fall. If not, not only she would be fired, she would never be able to write again for other companies because the owner and directors were very but very spiteful, if she failed to meet the terms of her last chance they would made sure that her career as writer would be ruined for the next 4 generations. She sighed, she was tired of dealing with that, and she was tired of everything. “So, this is failure.” She never had experienced that feeling since she was a filly, but nobody can compare failure as a young with failure as an adult the two of them are different by a long gap. In front of the chimney her legs slowly gave away and she allowed her body to gently fall and meet the wooden floor of her house, she brought both of her hooves to her head and tried to cover herself with them hoping that everything will end or just vanish, that somehow exist the edit option to she could correct her mistakes. No, she wasn’t going to cry for something so petty she was going to overcome this obstacle but dread was an understanding; ''Daring Doo?'' a voice echoed through the room where she was laying, she knew who the owner was but she didn’t say anything much less move her body. ''Are you alright?'' No response. “We need to talk.” The owner voice became serious, it was obvious what he wanted to talk. After all she went behind his back and published it without him knowing because she feared that the he was going to reject it and prevent her from publishing it; she also regretted that course of action. “I know Ahuizotl!” The pony from the floor replied with mild anger or frustration that had been coaxing inside her. “I just… you know… this is... I’m sorry okay?!” “You wanted me to say it?! I AM SORRY!” “SORRY!” Ahuizotl remained silent as he stared at his friend, and how she tried to cover herself with both of her hooves. “You don’t need to yell at me, you know?” He deadpanned. “Gosh… all of this…is just…frustrating.” Daring Doo and Ahuizotl the main character and the villain from the book were next to each other, they were friends and also adventurers, or explorers. Her books actually contains her adventures over the unknown part of the world shouting to be discovered, technically is her diary in some way that was sold for the public to read it. Most of the contents happened for real, you heard right; most. It was true that exploring and venturing into isolated places were dangerous and you could have the bad luck to encounter grave robber or just thieves hoping to find an old artifact or relic; however those cases were rare. The traps were not that dangerous, though they were very well hidden between the ruins and literally a bad step was the meaning of dead; so it could be said that her life was always on the line in each temple or sanctuary she had entered before, but also there were other times that she found all the traps already triggered and a corpse or just bones. But how she was able to find lost ruins when other didn’t? The answer was easy. She asked for help with the local natives. Strangely she found somepony who knew how to speak Equestrian, the natives weren’t wild like her books described; most of them were quite friendly and were fascinated by the foreigners, but other times any of them knew the language so she needed to spend a few months learning the basics so the interaction could be possible and with that obstacle surpassed they could tell her the stories about their culture and lead her to places that used to be from lost civilizations. She could say that she knew more languages than any other being in the planet; of course don’t counting the princesses since she didn’t know if they are multilingual. But what does this has to do with Ahuizotl being her friend? Ahuizotl was a native from a tribe that was near a lost temple from the south continent, that place is still unexplored but the crown had already send expeditions teams this year; however the Pegasus could claim with pride that she was the first to discover those places, the first foreigner of course; she already forgot the name of the tribe and that’s something that might stay in secret in front of her friend. The story with her friend was that he had the adventurer spirit and wanted meet the world so he left the tribe with Daring Doo; at first she was very hesitant with the idea of a companion even more that said fellow adventurer only knew his native language so Daring taught him how to speak Equestrian as they explored more; it took him years to learn the language and the written part was another story. They met each other for years in other words. But why she put him as the villain? Simple. When Daring began to write her first book she needed a villain with a good name and also not a common, so Ahuizotl was perfect; of course with his approval. '' Well, your little stunt ruined the good name of the series'' Ahuizotl remarked. “Thanks! You really know how to cheer up somepony.” The tan Pegasus glared daggers at him; her sarcasm was too easy to find in her voice. Ahuizotl rubbed his temples as he sighed in exasperation; it was ONE of those times. “Are you going to calm down?” Daring Doo kept staring at him with her narrowed face, he just raised an eyebrow with the intentions to say without words that his position wasn’t going to change in the slightest unless she realized her mistake. It was a stare battle; but it didn’t last long since the pony sighed in defeat and slowly stood up from the wooden floor, in her mind she prayed that she didn’t get an itch stuck somewhere on her belly because she felt a pinch minutes ago. So they talked. A lot. Despite letting everything out of her chest she didn’t drop a single tear in the whole ordeal, she believed that crying was a waste of time. Now Daring was resting on her hammock which was customized enough so she wouldn’t have any problems with her wings at the moment of sleep; the reason she didn’t get a bed was that with a hammock one can move side to side with it, it is a moving object unlike the bed. Probably is a child thing but it was her decision after all. “Hey” her friend started “Mmm?” The Pegasus was not fine and was exhausted mentally, staying in her hammock and swaying side to side was everything that she wanted to do, nothing was going to move her even if the there was an incoming arrow or fire she wouldn’t not move an inch she could die for all what she care; however it appears that her luck only accompany her when she is exploring. “Its adventure time.” “What?” Surprisingly to her, she had moved from her spot. “Its adventure time.” Ahuizotl’s grin was any indication, he had something in mind that might cheer her up. “That sounded very childish.” She returned with a small smile of hers “So…I take it as a yes?” Daring Doo forgot all the reasons of why she stayed on her hammock and gave a determinate look “Bring me my hat and count me in.” He rolled his eyes and shook his head, however he already achieved his objective, Daring Doo has returned to business. Metal Domination (the original)In a small secluded part of Canterlot gardens ''Eddie you awake? I mentally asked the skeletal humanoid statue next to me. ''Hell no Guy let me fucking sleep!!!!'' my little brother mentally rudely screamed. ''Oh good then you don't have to watch the show'' I mentally said smugly watching the two ponies getting lucky at Eddie's feet soft moans coming from the hot pink Alicorn mare filling the air as her white unicorn stallion took her innocence......again. ''What are you..........O come on not *again**!!!''' Eddie's cried in both lamented and jealousy ''Fuck! how many times these ponies are going to fuck on me, I still have stains from the last time!''* ''Ah you just jealous that their are getting some and you're not~'' I said teasingly with a small chuckle while watching the pony couple go at it like rabbits but I notice something off about the mare at the start of the act she bled. I remember every couple that ever took it to the next level on us this couple was one of them, she lost her innocence on me the first time yet she bled once again. ''I recall that your not getting any either, you're a motherfucking statue like me. '' growled Eddie his skeletal jaws grinding their sharp points against each other. ''Ouch that was a low blow brother,'' I said mentally holding my gut ''Eddie is it just me or that pink mare isn't Cadance?'' '' Yeah you're right Guy,'' said Eddie mentally also taking note of the bleeding pony snatch ''that's definitely not little Candy and Shiny's eyes are a different color......wait green eyes?'' ''Changelings!'' both me and Eddie said with a scowl on our mental faces. Changelings...... it just had to be fucking Changelings, we remember Discord's bug-like enforcers well after all they were made from our (forcefully taken) blood mixed with pony DNA then warp by the Draconequus's chaos magic, we had thought that the sisters had manage to kick them out of this side of Equus after Discord had turn us to stone 1005 years ago. But with this fake Cadance we knew it was only a matter of time before the whole hive went out on the offense, once again we struggle against the magical bindings we had to warn the girls about the changeling return. Only for the magic like all the other times we attempted to break free strike right back at us with the burning touch of chaos energy once the pain finally resided away I notice was something off with the energy, ''Weak'' I mentally whispered ''Eddie! the magic weakening! if we kept up the pressure the spell will break!'' ''I'm fucking sick of Discord's shit time to bring out the big guns!'' Eddie yells mentally with an shit eating grin. ''Metal?'' I asked with a bigger grin . ''I wanna hear some Metal!'' He cries out all pumped up. '' I got the perfect song in mind'' I yell back as the drums begin to echo in our mind space. Youtube Video ''Dream evil, '' said Eddie with an approving look ''good choice brother.'' ''Thanks Eddie now we wait while the magic of metal dominates the power of chaos.'' I said my grin fading at the sound of the pony couple finishing together and the sound of Eddie bitching about some of their musky liquid hits him in an stony eye ''I only hope we get out of here in time.'' In the outside world Two ponies held each other in an lover's embrace while leaning up against an ancient moss covered bipedal statue the statue had clearly seen better days but the couple could careless about some hunk of Marble. The Stallion gently run his hoof along his mare's disheveled multi colored mane before glancing at the purple tinted dome protecting the city his white fur brisking in the cool night air. ''Shiny oooh shiny,'' purred Cadance her muzzle nuzzling into her husband to be's chest '' that....that was something else.'' Shiny looked down on the love of his life, a soft loving smile grace his lips '' I take it that her highness had found her loyal bodyguard had severed her well on this night.'' ''Yes she has'' giggled Cadance in sing song voice ''But tell me why again we mated in front of these statues I find their faces very unnerving it almost seems like they were watching us.'' Shiny looks at the faces of the statutes despite the years of seeing them he did to found them to be unnerving the statue they were leaning up against was skeletal in nature with wild mane dual wielding Minotaur war axes and the other was hooded yet the hood did nothing to hid the wide toothy smile in its clawed hands small cannon like weapons but what truly unnerving about them are their eyes if almost like they really were alive. ''Well they were,'' coughed Shiny nervously '' didn't you knew the legend after all you took us here on our fourth date, you said that every couple in Canterlot heard at some point in their lives.'' ''Shiny,'' said Cadance unamused ''What legend are you talking about I lived in Canterlot my whole life and I never heard of this legend'' ''You know what I talking about the legend of the spirits of earth and fire,'' said Shiny shaking head at the pink mare his eyebrow raised ''you said that any couple that pays homage to them by mating before them will gain their blessing and be forever chained to one another if that union proves to be false then statues will become flesh once more and that false couple will not see the light of day, you said that by mating to them is an test to prove how much one loved another.'' ''Statues coming to life,'' said Cadance sceptically before bursting out laughing at the sheer stupidity at the very idea of stone statues coming to life ''Shiny honey I think you been hanging out with your geeky friends for too long.'' ''Cadance!'' said Shiny with an pout ''they're not geeks they....they....they just mare challenge.'' ''So what you saying Shiny is...their geeks.'' said Cadance with a knowing grin before leaving her wet but warm bed that was Shiny. ''Cadance where are you going? asked Shiny leaving his spot beside the statue of the earth spirit following after his mate. The pink Alicorn stops in her tracks looking back at Shiny giving the unicorn an sultrily look ''You know my bed often gets very cold at night I'm sure Celestia won't mind me having some company~'' ''What about the legend of the spirits of earth and fire'' Shiny gulp an blush forming on his white cheeks while trilled of the idea of round 2 ''Shouldn't we I don't know thank them or something?'' ''Shiny,'' said Cadance giving Shiny a hungry smile ''you have two choices you can stay here with those two moldy old statues to keep you warm or.......she pauses sensibly tuning her hoof down her chest brushing her teats presenting them to her stallion.....come with me to my nice warm bed where I'll show you how much I love you~'' ''Who cares about some dumb old statues anyways.'' said Shiny eagerly trying and failing to keep little shiny down. ''My point exactly.'' singed Cadance giving Shiny a little prance flagging her tail teasing her stallion with flashes of pink. As the couple disappeared in the darkness of the night leaning up against to other they fail to notice the slight cracking sound in the air coming from the glowing twin statues. Chaotic Marks (the original)The Frozen North I closed my eyes at the feeling of the crisp frozen air of the North caress my wings, the snow dancing along my feathers. I sighed happily at their relaxing touch stealing away my stress and worries, oh how I love the everlasting northern winter lands and the winter's magic. If I could stay here in this cold I would be one happy mare....... nothing absolutely nothing could ruin this moment . ''Princess!! Princess Faust!!!'' yowls the voice an elderly unicorn mare stumbling in the snow. Oh buck not her not now! I mentally lament before answering the yowling hag ''What is it Rosy love can't you see I am trying to enjoy myself for once.'' ''Enjoyment'' said Rosy love scandalously ''Tis not proper for a Princess to enjoy anything! A Princess only need discipline and an proper husband!'' ''hen I see your that your still stuck in the past you old nag'' I said mockingly, I had heard that same old song and dance from her for the last fifteenth years honesty I don't where my father found such an relic. ''Faust Platinum!'' the old mare shirk while i roll my eyes ''Your father the King will hear of this insult!'' ''Oh I'm shaking in my boots '' I said nonchalantly, you love to forget that father is too busy with his subjects to deal with you Rosy. ''Boots! Oh Holy Galaxia tis worse than I thought!'' she swoons dramatically. Again I rolled my eyes ''Rosy stop it you're going to put yourself at the witch-doctor's......again. '' ''This is the worse possible thing ever!!!! says Rosy dramatically ignoring my warning ''The Queen would have my hind!! ''Rosy!'' I said calling the unicorn hag. ''She'll throw me into the dungeons once she hears of how bad you frame of mind is!!!!'' cried the unicorn in full panic mode ''No she'll sell me to the dragons I'm too petty to be lizard food!'' ''Rosy!'' I repeat myself my right eyes twitching at the old hag's ridiculousness, mother haven't sold a pony to a dragon since an mare named Heartless Grace was married to the King of Dragons I heard that their wedding was even bigger and even more dangerous than father's and mother's was. There is talk that the King of dragon only married the mare because she was carrying the great golden Dragon's brew of hatchlings ''No she will send to me to a even worse fate! She would have me married off to an Windigo!!!!!!'' Rosy cried in despair ''ROSY LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CALM THYSELF YOU HAG!!!'' I shouted in the royal Canterlot voice the force of my shout sends the unfortunate old mare flying through the very air ''EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeepppppppppp'' screamed Rosy as she lands into a large hill of snow a mile away from me the only thing that was visible was her plot sticking out of the snow hill with her back-legs running wildly, I could swear that I heard her screaming threats with her mouth filled with snow. Again I sigh solemnly as an thought enters my mind ''Now you had done it father would surely be hearing of this one mother too '' ''I better get her out of there before she puts herself at the witchdoctors again'' I said to myself as I began to canter to the distressed mare........... -Crack- I stop immediately at the sound my ears alert actively swiveling seeking the source of the sound. At first they picked up nothing till I moved my hoof again the strange cracking made itself known to the world ''How odd? What is under my hoof?'' I mental asked myself. A deathly quiet moan reach my ears my eyes widen at the sound ''Somepony is under me!'' I screamed at the top of my Alicornian lungs leaping away from the spot as an large creature made out of mismatch animal parts emerge from the snow bank both me and my mind screamed at the unnatural sight horror fills my being at the sight of the creature it had the legs of an green dragon and ox an brown furred serpentine body, a Lion's paw and Gryphon's talon, the face an goat-like dragon barring the horns of a deer and ram, finally an red snake's tail it's yellow and red eyes stared at me predatory if as it was too studying my alabaster furred body. I found myself unable to look away from those wild yellow eyes to my surprise it cocks it's head questioningly like it didn't recognize my being an Alicorn. ''What.... the fuck..... are...... yew?'' my jaw drop at the sound of his voice I couldn't place his accent but something deep within me was screaming for daddy the longer I stare it him. I notice that he was standing weakly his legs unable to support his weight before he pass out unconscious, the world around me slowed as my eyes stayed on the creature ''Just what in mother's name are you?'' I whispered in a small voice not daring to speak louder. What seemed like hours passed as I stared at the unconscious creature, I was sure that somepony was calling me but at the moment the only thing that matter to me was the creature I had read countless books and scrolls describing the many races that dwell in this world and the next yet not one had mention any sort of being such as this mismatch creature. Impossible the royal archives had everything an pony needed to know about the other species everything from their history to their current culture every single last thing about them is recorded and documented but somehow this creature was overlooked for some reason or another again it's impossible for such a thing to happen if it did Father would have the royal archivist's hind, the vast archives is one of the few things Father fondly speaks of when we have visiting emissaries at the castle, father loves to speak with them about their kingdoms in their languages and customs. I doubt even father knows what this creature is, my ears pick up on the sound of hooves crunching the snow and the jiggles of armor. ''The royal guards must of heard your scream'' my mind said to me. ''Your highness are you alright? we heard your scream.'' said a guard from behind me. ''Guard'' I said in a commanding tone ''Get my Father he needs to see this now'' ''Yes your highness your will shall be done.'' said the guard before galloping away to do as I ordered. I only hope that father could shed some light on this creature if not then I would work to discover it's secrets. Calling upon my magic I moved the creature from the thick pile of snow to my side the sun's light shining on it's face gave it an enchanted glow, at the sight an strange and unfounded thought enters my mind ''You know he isn't that bad looking yes he is a little rough to look at but he isn't too bad.'' I think I'm going to be sick if father doesn't hurry up. A New World, A New Transformation ( the original)In the orbit of Primal Earth Unnamed PoV Tired… I feel so tired, I can barely keep my optics open. The only thing I can feel is my being tired, but I have to stay awake. Optimus could call for reinforcements at any moment. As my optics start to shut down, I can see the others aimlessly drifting in their own stasis pods, their face plates frozen with sleep. It had been cycles since Optimus left us here in Earth's orbit, claiming it would keep us safe, to keep them safe. Yet... I do not understand why he left me here with them. I am not like them. They are civilians, while I am one of the last remaining bots from the warrior caste. Perhaps he deemed it wise to keep me here with them than at his side; it does make sense. If I wasn't up here, then who would protect them if the Predacons managed to capture them? Only Primus knows what would have happened to them. My systems are beginning a forced shutdown against my will, and it is growing increasingly difficult to keep myself online. My fading vision erupts with light as a golden white comet lights up the inky blackness of space, warming my cold, metal body, yet draining me of my fleeting strength. My optics growing heavier by the nanosecond, the last thing I see is the comet arching over the Earth with a tail made up of unknown energy. The groaning sound of my pod being pulled was echoing in the small space. Even with my optics down, I can still see that unknown energy enveloping the pod, its light shining brightly like a star. Soon, this star was followed by nineteen others. Something was happening, but what exactly, I do not know. I am so tired… This time I know only blackness. The Planet Equus, Hall of Legends Arceus's PoV With a sigh, I pinch my brow as I stare at my ancient enemy. One that not even I could ever hope to stand against, one so endless that even the bravest of my children would run from it. Paperwork. Oh how I hate paperwork. If it didn't serve the purpose of keeping things running somewhat smoothly, I would have smitten the accursed idea a long time ago. Part of me rudely reminds me of the piles of vile papers I set upon Celestia like a tide of war when I brought my children to her world. I felt sorry for leaving her with all those piles, yet if I had the choice of doing things different, I would not change anything despite this paperwork. It was worth each sheet of evil to save my Pokemon from our old world. Slowly, one-by-one, I carefully read each one, but my mind and heart are not in it. They are actively regaling me with the visions of a beautiful alabaster Alicorn with a pale rainbow mane. ''Celestia'' my mind whispers sweetly. A “smile” touches my face as my thoughts are consumed by the pony princess. Dreaming dreams I never dared before. The images brought a warmth into my being, a warmth that was only reserved for my children yet somehow different. ''Perhaps I should visit her in Canterlot. Surely she wouldn't mind having me over too much?'' I mumble to myself. ''But first I should finish these papers. I have been putting it off for far too long.'' With a renewed vigor, I quickly dot my i's and cross my t's, mowing down trade agreements, marking arrangements for meetings with key emissaries from other nations, and other notions that came with being a ruler. By the time I almost finished the last bit of paperwork, my door slammed open, revealing a ragged Palkia. The space dragon has seen better days; his body is covered in sweat and the jewel on his arm has a crack in it. ''Palkia,'' I said with worry for the dragon pokemon, the unfinished paperwork long forgotten. ''What happened?'' ''Father, we have a problem.'' said my son before going into detail. With each word that left his mouth, my expression grew bleaker… Twilight’s PoV After giving up on trying to get to sleep, I now restlessly lay in my bed. All too much had happened over these past few weeks: the arrival of the Pokemon, us befriending a number of the strange new neighbors, to the meeting of Equus leaders, and the studying their many abilities... I guess all of it just started to get to me. It wasn’t any use, so I kick my blankets off. My exposed fur bristles at the touch of the cool night air. Leaving my nice warm bed, I trot to my window and stare at the peaceful night sky, and I smile at the silver light of the moon. It seems Luna is in a good mood tonight. Of course she would be. One good thing that came from the Pokemon move was that Luna had finally gotten what she always wanted: somepony to watch her beloved nights, in the form of the nocturnal Pokemon. But there is another reason for her good mood if what Celestia told me was true. Luna had been getting quite “friendly” with one of Lord Arceus's Legendaries. Even despite all these new changes, I still can recall the socially inept moon princess that almost everypony was afraid of till that one Nightmare Night when I helped her make her first friends. Now she has grown in her endeavors of connecting with others, going as far as befriending the moon Legendaries Darkrai and Cresselia… ''What are they like?" I found myself asking. "Are they anything like the other Legendaries? I don't recall ever seeing them. Perhaps they are majorly nocturnal like Luna, that would explain why, but still I should have at least seen them at some point. Maybe Luna wouldn't mind introducing us, after all we are her friends." My eyes glance at passing night Pokemon like Zubats, Hoothoots, and other kinds I couldn't name at the moment going about their nightly lives. A stray thought enters my mind. ''What would it be like to be with a special somepony?" The question catches me by surprise, unsure of why I thought of such a question or what had brought it up in the first place. Then the vision of Rarity and the Pokemon Keldeo with wrapped tails cruelly dances in my mind. The two have grown close to one of another. It is rare to see them without each other. There had been times when all Rarity wanted to talk about was Keldeo… and a ping of jealousy hit my heart… Am I jealous of Rarity? No, surely not, I am her friend. What have I to be jealous of…? "Besides Rarity being the most desired mare in all of Ponyville, a successful business pony, passionate with her work and she has a handsome coltfriend? So no, you don't have nothing to be jealous of.'' my mind states smugly. I sadly sigh at the words. My mind had been right, I have so much to be jealous about. Unlike Rarity, I was plain. Even with wings, I could never be as gorgeous as she. I was given everything I wanted while she earned what she has with her own hooves. Though I am equally as passionate as her, stallions care more for a mare's looks than her brains. Despairingly, I look to the stars, hoping to find solace in their guiding light. My eyes instantly glue themselves to the brightest of the stars. There, I decide to make a foalish, yet hopeful wish, ''Star that shines so bright, let me have this wish tonight. I ask by Luna's silvery light for an stallion brave and truth to come into my life. A stallion to love me for me… I make this solemn request for I find myself wanting for the love of another.'' Suddenly, the very star I wished upon began to glow a golden white as if answering my pleaful wish. Its light grew brighter and brighter till it formed a giant ball of golden flames on course with the Everfree… ''What!?'' I shout in shock and surprise that the star I wished upon wasn't a star at all, but a great meteor! I watch in horror as the flaming, gold meteor arcs high in the sky far above Canterlot.It suddenly burst into twenty individual pieces, each in various sizes, scattering in all directions like a thunder of wild dragons raiding a diamond dog mine. While nineteen of them head in other directions, one stayed on course with the Pokemon-filled forest, gliding on the air like an graceful dancer until its crash and disappearance into the woodlands. I let out the breath I hadn't known I was holding, my hooves feeling weak as I slide down from the window with my back to the outside world. ''How close were we from getting hit by that meteor? Inches, centimeters? If it hadn’t burst apart or did so a little lower, Ponyville and Canterlot would be wiped from the map. But still ponies and pokemon have meet their ends tonight.'' Wrapping my hooves around myself to keep from shaking, a thought enters my mind. ''I need to send a letter to Celestia at once, she needs to know where the bit of meteor landed.'' The king of beasts (adopted )Camcorder startup...standard time 6:39 friday the 12th time running 0:00:000 It's the year 7014 X Terra my home-world is fucked...that's the nice way of saying it I for one don't really give a crap, I only fight to fight. This war is, and has been, going on for about 1000 years...after today that won't matter .The two groups fighting are; The link joker, some high tech set of people who claim to be doing their masters work and then there is the God eaters, my people are a way more advanced set of people with powers from our souls themselves. We don't know why they attacked, the only thing we know is, is that when I was born they sealed one of our ten beasts inside of me, that being the she bitch inside my head Gliger the lioness, Oh and I’m fourteen says my captain. I'm not a bitch it's just you don't like it when I'm right. "Oh shut up so I can finish." I yelled choking the life out of one of those Link joker dragon grunts, waiting for him to stop moving... Maybe it's best we leave it at that knowing that we're still on Terra. " *sighs* Fine but it's my call on the armor!" I said picking up my standard battle armor with two shoulder covers, a helmet with four side burners and my mother’s scarf. "Shit I forgot my gun...Oh well more for me to tear up with my hands~." I sang putting on the last of the legging armor then I put on my mother’s scarf; that scarf has seen better days from that nice shade of black to a brown ragged cloth. "Hey Bazz you done yet? cap says we need to move out soon." Oh yea there are nine other beast holders that I know of, all gender balanced and strength tested. The girl that was just calling me was my friend's older sister, Hina short for Hinatos,she has the seventh beast named Cray the turtle...sounds funny now but wai- PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW "Shit they're here already!" I jump for the door but it won't move... fucking door, so I try kicking it down...that failed, so I use my black wheel saw and the structural energy I get from Gliger; removing anything in my path. I step out to see more of those foot soldiers in their easy-to-find armor sets, all white armor sets…"Ok it's too noisy, so I'm going to say this once...SHUT THE HELL UP!!" getting everyone to stop shooting and look at me "Good now I want- PEW" ok that guy fucked up. I grab the link joker faster then anyone can see bringing my other hand up to rip his tonsils and other stuff out...Thank you Gliger... What? it's not me, you're the one who likes hand-to-hand combat and killing, I'm here because of the war. Still, now we got fifteen or so jokers on our asses and only six of us, "Seems fair. Hey Hina, get ready I'm sending everyone out to freedom tower." I yelled over the gun fire, throwing some dark pulses. "WHAT?! You can't get us there without a burn panel!" I still wonder why she can't figure out that it's only a few blocks from here *sign snap* "Warn us before you do that Bazz. You know we got the rookies with us." This guy right here is Karu, beast holder number four, Talos the bull, don't get him mad, his armor and weapons resemble a bull, weird how he uses an axe, and nothing else, but what can you do... click click “I'm out! Bazz give me your case!" Hina orders popping out an empty fifty caliber magic propelled sniper rifle clip. She scared me one time when she nearly blew my head off *shudder* "...You must have forgotten my NO guns thing." Oh yea before I forget Hina's armor is like mine but without the arm blades and scarf. "Here let me." Pushing my hand forward, I shot a black void ball; and took out what seemed to be a team of twenty foot soldiers heading our way. "There was that so bad why don-." I said before I feel something grab me. "BAZZ!!" Hino yelled running to me as a shadow forms behind me. BEHIND US! "Fuck me..." I said as I lost my vision THUD camcorder date unknown time unknown "Ow." Well I got up from worse hangovers. Oh good you're up. Now don't get mad, but we seem to be off planet "... Gliger why can't I move..." I don't know what's going on because my vision is still blurry but I can see some dark colored creature laying next to me. I know what you're thinking, and no we did not hit that. "Ok, one; Thank god, two; any idea what IT is?" I asked getting a moan and a small yawn. "I'm not an IT, I'm a mare, and a royal one at that, and I hoped you would have some manners." Ok now I'm confused, where the fuck am I? Hey she's leaving, think you can move now? "Don't know until I try but-" I stopped myself when I see the...pegasus...unicorn, umm well...I have no idea what I’m looking at, it seems to be a pegasus and unicorn hybrid, and she has a almost transparent mane and a moon on her ass. "Well now that you're up, come along we have much to do.~" she turned and headed towards a door with me floating around her eye level. "Ok I'm done!" I yelled flaring my hands with energy breaking her hold. I warp away only to find myself in a forest, a huge amount a forest at that. We need to move, I can feel her tailing us, Head east . 'Shit, ok, east it is, but whats east?’ I thought, getting up and running as fast as mach two tanks, my beast training, but still. 'Hey, Gliger any idea where we are? because aren't all the trees on terra either dead or taken by the king for safety?' No, but it's nice to see them, Hey look ahead I think I see something. 'Let's hope it's a friendly!' After about ten minutes I came across an open plane. Nothing but grass and some weeds. "I was wondering when you would get here, foal." the dark mare from earlier said, "Now what is your name?" that face is going to leave me with a nightmare. "Fuck you!" I said running back into the forest 'Gliger is she tailing us?' You might want to run faster... 'Why?' I looked back to see her flying through the thick tree tops. "Leave me alone!" I flare my energy and send some saws her way, only to find that she set up a form of barrier, however, their still leaving some cuts in the barrier. "We can play hide and seek all you want, you still won't escape!" *eye twitch* I stopped and looked at her before I let Gliger change my armor, this time I have a lion head helmet with black and gold coloring, my arm bracers change; showing off a set of two claws, my feet look more beast than before with a full set of claws and armor, the only thing odd is I now have a tail. 'Gliger, why is there a tail?' You will see later but now, LETS GET THAT BITCH! I love it when Gliger thinks like I do, I jump up, grabbing the mare and her barrier, and I start pounding on the shield trying to get in. "That won't work fo- *shatter* Her face goes from confidence, to scared in less than five seconds. After hitting the ground I grab her horn and neck and pulled her closer so that her ear was inches away from my mouth. I love the look she had on, it was priceless, so very scared, I thought she was going to cry, But I digress, we needed info so I did what I do best...Interrogations "I told you to leave me alone, but since you won't, you're going to give me some answers, got it?" I growled through the mouth guard, getting a nod in response. "Good; now where the hell am I?" "Y-y-you're in Equestria, but near the everfree forest." Ok now I think I heard sniffling. "W-w-what a-are you?" "..." 'Shit, even I don't know, any idea Gliger?' How about God Eater, since our people are god eaters. "I'm a God Eater from Terra, Now, who, and what, are you?" "I am Nightmare Moon, princess of the night, and I’m a alicorn." she said with a little kick and pride. I tighten my grip on her neck and moved her so we are at eye level with each other. "Why am I here?" I said in the darkest way possibly "....." she tries to look away but can't, so she closes her eyes and cries. "TELL ME; OR I'LL RIP YOUR HORN OFF AND SHOVE IT THROUGH YOUR NECK!!" As my grip tightened her crying got worse. Why is she crying like that, it's not like I did anything. Fuck it. she looks like my-I'm not going there again. She's gone and it's too late to do anything about it. 'Gliger what do you think I should do with her?' If it was me, I would put her down, but something tells me we might need her. 'Ok, but if shit hits the fan its on your head got it?' I dropped Nightmare, and started to walk away until I hear her say something that I couldn't hear quite right but it sounded like she said- "I'm lonely." She said through her tears, I look at Nightmare, before walking back this time shes trying to move away from me, a look of terror across her face, crying and yelling for me to stay back. I stop reverting my armor back and give her a hand getting her up. After a few moments of hitting me she calmed down and wiped a tear from her beautiful blue- *eye twitch* did I just think that...fuck I’m going to hurt myself for that later. About fifteen minutes pass before we said anything,So I broke the silence "Who or what brought me here, and is there a way for me to get back?" "I'm the one who summoned you and I'm not sure if there is a way for you to go home." *Eye twitch* “Ok, I'm going need to know everything about this equestria before I do anything for anyone...Please don't make me regret keeping you alive." I say bluntly as possible. 'Man those eye look like dragons. Gliger do you think it would be a drag to just find out some other way?' Well I don't really know...This one is your call. 'You're messing with me again aren't you?' with a sigh, I follow Nightmare back to her place. Yes I am. *giggle* A few hours pass with me and Nightmare Moon talking and getting information from each other. We both know that no one wasn't holding anything back, but still I can't shake this feeling... "So what does the spell do exactly, and is there a village or town I can go to?" I asked looking up at the stars. Man in all my life I never got to see them mainly because every time I tried something pops up and starts attacking. "The spell calsl forth a beast of unlimited potential and makes it serve the caster, but it seems that part didn't work." She looked at me and the stars going from one to the other then she got the happiest smile I ever saw. "So it seems you like the night sky." "Yea I guess it makes me feel better, the cool breeze, the quiet sounds and the moon, man if the war was over, I would just stay still looking at the stars and moon forever." D-did I just say that oh god I need to get home. "Hey Nighty what about towns, anything here besides us?" "Yes there’s a small village near here, but I don't think you should go."She look worried so I put her mind at ease with a little phrase. "Don't be afraid, Nothing you could do could stop me, what's the worse that could happen!" I said with a smile and warped in the direction she said. Seriously what could go wrong? "SSSSHHHHIIIIITTTTT!!!!"I yelled flying into a few houses because of a purple pony, ( I think is Twilight Sparkle if what Nightmare told me is right,) who hit me with some technicolor rainbow, lucky for me when I was hit I was only sent flying, and not turned to stone or banished like Nightmare said, or that would have really messed me up. "OW! That fucking hurt, you bitch!" That got the blue colored one with the rainbow mane,(that one is no doubt rainbow dash,) to rush at me while I was still getting up. "Really that’s it? nothing else?" I raised my hand; sending some energy at them hitting them on mark, sending them all into a pile. "What are you?" asked Twilight , frightened. With the most badass smile I could muster, I said "The name is Bazz and I'm a God eater!" They looked up and then back to me and smiled. "What is i-BAM*THUD*" Bazz...Bazz wake up...BAZZ! 'What is it...Gliger? why can't move? I can’t see anything.' I thought, squirming around only to have my restraints tighten. "Ok, we want to know who, and what, you are." A voice demanded. Must be some kind of ruler. best make this fast, I flare my energy and break their hold, removing the blindfold they put on me. "You first, then if I'm in a good mood I'll tell you." I love to mess with people. "I am Princess Celestia and I am a co-ruler of-" I raise my hand looking at her, mainly because I wanted a good look. She's an alicorn like Nighty but white with a pink, blue, and green mane, and sun cutie mark. "Ok, nevermind, what is it you wanted to know?" Sitting there I notice that we are in some kind of Interrogation room, with some guards and six ponies, If I remember right then the two earth ponies are pinkie pie and Applejack, The next two pegasi are Fluttershy and Rainbow dash Then a Single unicorn that I think is Rarity...Odd nightmare told me there was two well the last one is an alicorn as well.Fuck. Changeling or Not (adopted)"I, Bright Justice do solemnly swear that I will faithfully pledge my allegiance to Celestia and the land of Equestria, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the laws and citizens of Equestria." Today was a very important day for a this young Pegasus, today was the day he would graduate from the royal guard academy and be inducted into the official royal guard of Equestria. He stood on a wooden stand in the middle of Canterlot town square, he stood in front of his commanding officer, Dusky Trails; Sergeant Major of the Royal Guard of Canterlot, which was the second highest in the Equestrian royal guard; since the highest was Commanding General of Royal Guard, or CGRG for short. Bright gave him a quick salute before accepting his title of Pvt. Justice. After him was Bright's very good friend, Cloudy Steel. A Pegasus like himself, but the only difference was Cloudy was more scrawny. Cloudy tended to be a coward at times, and wore glasses. While Bright was more muscular and taller than Cloudy was. Cloudy graduated for always getting perfect scores on the tests, his agility, and his speed. While Bright graduated because of his combat skills, strength, and agility. But he never did too well on tests, he passed them; but he never got a perfect score like Cloudy did. But either way, they made it and they planned on staying in the guard for a long time. They became so confident for their time being there, they even made a bet. Who ever got to Sgt or higher, the loser would have to pay 100 bits. When they started, Bright and Cloudy were given the position they called "Door Duty" where they stood in front of the throne rooms doors for hours on end until their shifts ended there. Then they would be moved to street walking; where they would walk the streets of Canterlot. Bright enjoyed this time because he was able to interact with the community of Canterlot, he was always a good stallion. He never did anything to hurt or offend anypony, he would help old mares with bags, help lost children or even play along with them if no other guard was around. But every time Cloudy caught him, he would always remind Bright that playing hoofball with the kids isn't getting him closer to being Sargent. All in all, Bright was a good stallion. But he took his guard duty seriously when it came to criminals, whenever somepony broke the law and Bright was the one to bring them in, Bright would make sure that the pony who committed the crime got what he or she deserved. But, his final position was his least favorite and he had Cloudy to agree with him. His last shift was keeping watch over ponies in the death row cells. It sickened him knowing that the ponies in these cells murdered, raped, or did any other despicable thing to get where they are now. It would nearly make him gag every time he heard another guard come in yelling, "Dead pony walking" over and over again before getting the criminal to its cell. That was another thing, Bright never called any of the ponies in death row living beings or him or her. It was always it or thing. He had little to no respect for the scum that filled that cell corridor. But the worst of it all was when an execution would be held. The agonizing screams and shouts from those things could be heard from all the way to Apple Loosa and The Badlands. There were two ways a pony on death row died, either by hanging or electric chair with the electric chair being the most common. But one death wasn't spoken of, it was never used since 1881, when a stallion nicknamed 'Crazy Horse' was executed. He raped 13 young fillies in both Las Pegasus and Ponyville, murdered 20 ponies in Manehatten, Las Pegasus, Ponyville, and Apple Loosa, and burned down half of Apple Loosa. It was called death by torture. For it to work, a unicorn of the royal guard had to use the magic of torture. But the unicorn who was the one to commit such an act had to be CGRG or higher in the royal guard ranks. It was banned by the Equestrian empire because it was voted too violent and was very unlike the peaceful ways of the Equestrian government and law. But at the end of the day, Bright considers all the events he encounters all worth it when it comes to the safety of the innocent and sadly oblivious community of Canterlot and Equestria. Yes, both Bright and Cloudy believed that the community of Canterlot if not Equestria were oblivious to the more darker world that's been hidden from them for so long. The poverty and slavery in Indoneighsia, the prostitution of Manehatten and Las Pegasus, and other starving countries such as the Zebra Republic. Canterlot was like a gem in Equestria, wanting to keep it safe and hidden from danger as much as possible. It was Bright and Cloudy's job to keep that safety in check and to make sure that nothing like the Changeling attacks ever happen again. But this duty they had, and their oath to their ruler Princess Celestia, would be challenged and broken. But would it be for the best? ~***~ Bright arrived to the locker rooms where the guards left their armor and took showers at the end of their shifts. There was a small break room at the end of the large room where some of the guards lazed and relaxed until an alert happened or if they had to change to their other shifts. Bright grabbed his armor, buckled and latched the belts under his stomach and waist. He carried the helmet with his left wing to the break room. Nopony else was there, except for Smoke Bomb; another private like Bright. Bright always hated Smoke, he was arrogant, he would always boast about how is great grandfather was considered a war hero for saving a general from being shot with an arrow in the Batpony and Equestrian war, where the Batponies were at war with the Equestrian army for independence and more land. Sadly that war was one of the very small amount of lost wars for the Equestrian empire. But Smoke seemed to forget that part of the story. Smoke didn't pay Bright no mind, but instead read his newspaper. Bright sat in a chair from across the room, with nothing to do he just sat there occasionally fiddling with a feather from his wings. He sat like this until Smoke began to speak. "Hey newbie, decided to come into work today huh? Got nothing else to do with your life right?" He said still keeping his eyes focused to the paper. "Shut up Smoke! You're as new here as I am!" Bright argued in defense. "Oh yeah? At least military defense runs in my family! Unlike your pansy cloud kicking ancestors." Smoke was one of the main reasons why Bright disliked most unicorns. "Just because your grandfather saved a general in the war doesn't mean you're any better at combat than I am!" "What ever chatte!"" Smoke went back to reading his paper but mumbled "Je vous jure, un jour vous allez brûler" Bright glared at Smoke, but didn't say anything. He didn't see the point of starting another argument with Smoke. Besides, what could he do? Smoke's father is CGRG of the Crystal empire, if Bright pushed Smoke too far it would be all over for Bright. He would be out of the job and so much worse. Luckily Smoke has been told that he only has one more year in Canterlot before he's moved to the Crystal Empire's guard patrol, then he'll be their problem. Bright and Smoke lazed around some more until SgtMaj. Dusky rushed to the small room with a determined face but was still hinted with fear. Both Bright and Smoke quickly stood up and saluted to their leader. "At ease. We have a sighting of changelings on the edge of the everfree forest. We must go and apprehend them and bring them back here! Understand?" Smoke and Bright saluted once more and quickly followed Dusky out of the locker rooms and quickly flew towards the everfree. ~***~ It didn't take long for Bright, Smoke, and Dusky to get to the everfree, being skilled flyers they were able to fly to the everfree in 1 or two hours to the most. Since it was a changeling situation, they had to get there quickly; ever since the wedding attacks from the changelings they've been outlawed in Equestria and the Crystal Empire. The only two places they could refuge or visit are the smokey mountains to the in the north; land of the dragons and the second land is near the dark woods in the south; which belonged to the Batponies who are still strong allies of the Changelings. "Okay, Pvt. Bright, I want you to patrol the left side of the forest, Pvt. Bomb, I need you to flank right. I'll go straight down and look for the changelings. Report back here in 20 minutes." Dusky said in a low and serious tone. "Yes sir!" Both Bright and Smoke said simultaneously while saluting. Bright went his way and made sure to keep and eye out for changeling whereabouts. Ever since the wedding attack all guards are trained to detect changelings even if they are in disguise. It was easier to detect a changeling in a unicorn disguise since all changeling magic has green aura, they also have a tint of blue in the white of the eyes; but the blue is in the very deep corners of the eyes so it takes a guard to stretch the eye so that the corner of the eye is visible. Bright kept walking but didn't find a changeling, an animal, just plants and nature. So he took this opportunity to take a peaceful stroll. ~***~ Smoke slowly went down his rout keeping a sharp eye out for the changeling. "Where are you, you buggy bastards!" Smoke said to himself getting his spear ready for combat. "C'mon, you think I'm scared? Think you could mess with me?" He kept asking himself, he kept walking for a little longer before hearing small rustling from a near by shrub. The noise alone startled Smoke, he flailed his arms in the air and screamed like a scared filly at a new school. He quickly rushed out of the area, leaving the rustling to be a simple rat. Smoke kept running still flailing his arms and screaming before tripping over a large lump of something. He trembled on the ground when he saw what that lump was. It was a bruised, cut up changeling with pink wings instead of blue. Smoke thought that this had to be a female changeling, but how? Female changelings never left camps or villages, especially by themselves. So why would this one be out near the forest? But the bigger question was, is there more? Smoke could hear Dusky and Bright calling out his name, he could also hear hooves rushing towards him, he quickly glanced back at the injured changeling who was still moaning in pain. This image gave him an idea. An idea that would establish his bravery and get him up higher in the ranks. He slowly got up with his spear in his hooves, pointed the small blade to the changeling's neck and slowly began to put pressure on the neck. Right when blood began to appear Smoke heard his name again, this time right behind him. "Pvt. Smoke! Cease your attack!" Smoke turned around to see Dusky and Bright with surprised yet stern faces. "Oh thank Celestia you two came, uh this changeling scum tried to jump me, but I was able to subdue her with my spear and combat skills, Sir!" Smoke exclaimed to Dusky, his lies were believable enough for Dusky to fall for it. But Bright wasn't convinced, he knew that Smoke wasn't the best during combat tests in the academy, he also knew that Smoke was a conniving liar who got his way with every lie that fell out his mouth. "Good work Pvt! Are you injured?" Dusky asked getting closer to the changeling on the ground. "Well, other than this scrape on my leg, I'm fine." Smoke replied, Bright looked at Smoke's scar and knew that the scar he had came from tripping and falling on your hooves. Playground scars he would call them; since when Bright was young he kept tripping and falling at every playground he would go to. "Yeah, good job Smoke." Bright said sarcastically. "I'm sorry Bright, I didn't know that were a jealous one. Tell ya what, when I get a medal for bravery I'll let you shine it! While your serving me tea on a silver platter and kissing my hooves." Smoke replied with a sly grin stuck on his face. "Shut up you pansy I know you didn't take down that changeling! Maybe it was already injured!" Bright exclaimed. "Both of you shut up!" Dusky shouted still cuffing the changeling's hooves. "Yes sir!" They both said in response. "Now, let's report this... Thing to Celestia." This confused Bright and Smoke, whenever a changeling was found they would go directly to the death cells. They would never be reported to Celestia. Then again their last changeling that the guard files have was about two years ago; a month after the wedding attack. Dusky lifted the injured changeling on his back and they all began to fly back to Canterlot. Dusky was slower however since he was trying to keep balance of the changeling on his back while still flying straightly. Smoke took front position while Bright got behind Dusky, getting a view of the changeling's face. It slowly opened its eyes in pain and sadness. For some reason, this look gave Bright the idea that maybe this changeling was innocent. But that was impossible! 25% of his academy lessons were about changelings and how to detect them. And the academy didn't give them much of a good name or a representation. They were described as disgusting flying bugs that needed to be exterminated. But this changeling was more, pure. 'This changeling' Bright thought, 'this changeling is innocent.' He flew closer to Dusky but was still behind him. "Uh, Sir? I've been thinking that maybe Smoke didn't apprehend this changeling, maybe this changeling was injured in the first place." "Okay and?" Dusky replied. "Well, I think that this changeling is most likely innocent and has done nothing wrong." Dusky slowed down some more and whispered. "Do you think I don't believe that too? I'm just believing Smoke for now because he has close tie-ins with the princess and she's my only way for becoming CGRG." "So you're gonna throw an innocent pony on death row because of rank status?" Bright asked. "Well that's another thing Pvt. It's new protocol that whenever a royal guard of any rank sees or spots a changeling, they must apprehend and turn in that said changeling. Celestia said it herself that changelings were like a-" "Bug that needed to be exterminated I know, they kept telling me that in the academy. But I honestly think that this changeling did nothing wrong in the first place." "Well Pvt. I'm sorry to say that you can't just walk away from this like you did with most missions back in the academy. Your last chance to walk home to mama was the day you signed your name on the royal guard sign up sheet." Bright and Dusky stayed silent for the rest of the flight. Every so often, the changeling would look at Bright with eyes asking 'why? Why would you let them do this? Help me please!' It pained Bright every time. So he would always look away.
A wizard's tale (original)The roar of battle filled the air as two wizards, one of light the other darkness, throw spell after spell. '' Hahahah! Is this the best you can do Alkeyore, if so how in the seven Hells did you of all wizards became a lord of magic?'' sneered the white wizard. '' Don't play games with me Teigue, I may have fallen for you're games before, but your tricks shan't aid you in this battle'' Alkeyore shot back with a blast of Dark magic, hitting Teigue in the leg. The white wizard cried out in pain as the coldness of dark magic crept unto his leg, " Give me the key or I end you for that!!!" He screamed, casting a Holy fist spell at Alke only for it to fly past his head by mere inches. ''Never!'' Shouted Alke, countering with a shadow sneak spell and melting into darkness reappearing from Teigue's shadow. Using a shadow chains spell he bound the white wizard with chains made from his own shadow, forcing him down to one knee while the burning coldness of the chains made him scream in greater pain than when Alke's spell hit his leg. ''Teigue the white,'' Alke said in a voice that echoed all around them '' Former lord of magic, I Alkeyore Blood-raven, the shadow devil, last of the lords of magic, here by find you guilty of murdering your former brothers and aiding Demons. Any last requests for old times sake?'' Teigue shoots Alke a death glare before smiling, "yes one request and one only, give up, Alke, we both know you can't defeat me.'' he says before laughing. '' hahaha, oh, by the way, hand over that key while your at it'' Alkeyore shook his head " No Teigue you shall never get the key, but I do have one question for you before i do my duty as a lord of magic.'' ''And what, pray tell, do you want to ask of me old friend, after all I have done?'' Said Teigue his smile widening. Alke grabs Teigue by the collar pulled the wizards face to his own ''why?'' he spat ''Why you did all of this, why betray us, your brothers, to aid demons?'' Teigue's smile grew into a madman's grin follow by a mad laugh, " Why? Why you ask, well why not?" He said, laughing again. ''You are blind like all the others and those who came before, the demons will have their king back, it's only inevitable. Why should we even try to protect Gaea from his wrath she shall burn in the end anyways? I figure by helping him I'll get on his good side, but most of all killing our weak brothers made me feel," His eyes rolled back in pleasure ''Alive'' Alke punched the white wizard's teeth in, knocking him to the ground,'' you sick bastard! They were our bothers, I hope you burn in the seven hells for all of time!!!" The mad white wizard begged for more pain before saying '' thanks for the pain Alke, looks like I need to repay you for the meal.'' He sneer as he cast Holy Light, melting the chains of darkness holding him, then casting Heaven's Light trapping Alke in a sphere of pure light before the dark wizard knew what had hit him. Teigue rises from his prone position, walking slow circles around the trapped wizard. Alke rushing to cast a counter spell, only for the magic to melt away from the purifying light. The mad wizard, savoring his soon to be total victory, shoves his palm into the sphere, casting Holy fury sending thousands of blades ripping into Alke's flesh leaving many wounds causing the trapped wizard to cry out in great pain. ''Now I ask again, give me the key and you shall feel no more pain.'' Said the mad wizard in a calming tone. ''Go fuck yourself, you self-righteous, divine light worshiping, fuck!'' Alke screamed in pain only to be hit by another holy fury, adding more wounds to the thousand Alke already had. Teigue sighs, '' you dark wizards are all the same, always forsaking the glorious way of light for the vile ways of darkness. Once I'm done with your copse I will visit and kill all of your kind and burn all of the books and scrolls on your magic before I free the King of demons.'' ''ha-gah-d-don't make me laugh Teigue-gah- my wizard order are safely lock away in the shadow realm only those in tune-gah-with darkness may enter those lands.'' Alke mange to say while in great pain. With a smile Teigue grabbed Alke by the throat pulling the still trapped wizard in close, '' I know I can't enter that black realm, but that doesn't mean that the Tahuians can't.'' Alke's face paled '' you're mad, you would enlist the Hunters of all beings to your monstrous quest?! Your soul is more tainted than the king's'. "He croaked. Teigue mad smile widen, as he let go of Alke '' why thank you, Alke, but it's too late for flattery. Yet I'll reward you for lasting this long.'' He laughed madly.'' Do you know what reward I have in mind for you?'' Alke takes a deep breath rubbing his throat '' cough no cough I have no idea Teigue I'm not a mind-reader.'' ''oh-oh-oh it's a simple casting'' giggled Teigue wile he pulled Alke from the sphere, causing it to form chains restraining Alke like he was earlier. '' You see Alke, believe it or not I have grown tired of killing people using tools and spells. So I've decided to end you another way.'' The mad wizard once again walking slow circles around Alke, his mad laugh echoing. '' Since my awakening to the truth of things I wondered what happens when you combine our magic with demon powers for a spell, today you're giving me the chance to test it out.'' Alke' breath quickens in horror '' No-no Teigue don't you dare mix those magics they were never meant for that. Not even the king of demons would dare to combine them!'' Alke said, struggling with his chains, only for them to tighten slightly. Teigue continued to laugh '' I know that's what makes it fun!'' his eye hardened and he growled '' Now hand over the key and I'll make the spell painless.' ' ''Never, I'd rather die a thousand deaths than give the key to the likes of you, Teigue demon's slave, fallen lord of light'' snared Alke defiantly barely ignoring the pain from his many wounds. '' I would be careful of what you say Alke, cause you know anyone who says that dies, but you will give me the key even if I have to rip out your black heart and eat it.'' threatened Teigue. Alke spat in Teigue's face '' Go fuck yourself!'' Teigue wiped the spit off and sighed '' I hope you would give in to me to make your death as painless as possible. But time is short, after all I have a job to do and a world to destroy.'' The chains tighten nearly crushing the doomed wizard as Teigue, tired of asking for the key pushed his magic into Alke's robes. Magicking the hidden necklace into his hand. "Now, was that so hard Alke, now that I have what I wanted, its time to test out that spell.'' Teigue then start to utter in the demon tongue while his open hand starts to glow with the pure aura, the one with the key beginning to glow a sickly greenish red. A magic circle appeared under Alkeyore, from him trying to form a spell to interrupt the mad wizard sickening spell of wizard-demon magic. "Te su gal tor vero lumis" Alke tried casting a simple power-up spell, yet good fortunate was not with him today. The light magic from the chains melting what little magic he gathered before he could form a spell. 'It was a good run while it lasted.' said one part of Alkeyore's mind 'what are you saying, we'll make it. We always do' said another, ''Teigue has won ''Alke said to himself. ' so? We've gotten out of deeper shit than this before.' argued his mind. '' I had magic at my side back then. This cursed light melts it away before I can form a spell.'' Alke said to his mind 'hm, yes, that might a problem at this moment. Yet you forget something, darkness is everywhere light is' his mind reminded him. ''Darkness is everywhere light is.'' He echoes, a small smile graced his lips. ''Thanks me. I think I get it now.'' ''Lor demos allta tor uma lomus demos demos Lor demos allta tor uma lomus demos demos" ''Damn sound like the chant is about to hit its final verse! Gotta form a spell!'' Alke gather his magic inside of himself, using his own body to shield the forming spell.'' Come on! Just a little more, come on sweet darkness just a little more............. that's it!!!!!' "Attla equ lomis lkmis-" "Crimson Nightmare!" Casts Alke, using every bit of magic in his body, destroying the chains binding him and interrupting Teigue before quickly ripping the key back from his hand. The interrupted foul spell, now an uncontrolled cocktail of unstable magic still hits Alke at full power ripping into his whole being; he flashed one last smile at a furious Teigue, who, rocking with rage cast thousands of spells at the inflamed wizard only for the wild spell to absorb each one adding to its power, even greater pain rocks throughout Alke body which is glowing an angry red, brighter and brighter till its light blinds all, Teigue cries out both in pain and rage as the blinding light transforms into a great pillar of red light with highlights of white and green. By the time Teigue finally opens his eyes he find both his prize and his prey have disappeared from this world. Outraged at this development he shoots out a pillar of pale flame into the air. "curse you ALKEYORE!!!!!!!!"
A wizard's tale (currant version)(play music) Youtube Video The dessert was the only witness of the constants roars of battle which were filling the air as two powerful wizards, one dedicated to the light arts and the other devoted to the darkness, throw spell after spell with no hints of finishing any time soon. '' Hahahah! Is this the best you can do Alkeyore, if so… how in the seven Hells did you, of all wizards, became a lord of magic?'' sneered the wizard who was dressed in white like the light. '' Don't play foolish games with me Teigue, I may have fallen for your tricks before, but they shan't aid you in this battle'' Alkeyore shot back with a blast of his Dark magic, impacting on Teigue’s shin. The white wizard cried out in pain as the coldness of dark magic crept unto the rest of his leg, " Give me the key otherwise your end shall be undescriptible for such insult!!!" He yelled as he released the spell of The Holy fist at his enemy; only for miss by mere inches. ''Never!'' Shouted the lord of magic as he casted the spell to melt into the darkness and reappearing from Teigue's shadow. Using the Shadow Imprisonment he bound the white wizard to the ground with chains made from his own shadow, forcing him down to one knee meanwhile the coldness of the chains burned his body like he had been set ablaze. ''Teigue the white,'' The wizard voice echoed between them as he looked directly to Teigue’s eyes ''Former lord of magic, I Alkeyore Blood-raven, the shadow devil, last of the lords of magic, find you guilty under the crimes of murdering your former brothers and aiding the race of Demons.” But for the past times Alkeyore decided to give him the last words before to seal his fate. “Any last request before justice is made?” Teigue shoots his foe a death glare before smiling, "Yes… one request… and one only” The Dark wizard stepped closer to hear him with hopes that Teigue has already admitted defeat; sadly it was met with an delusion. “Give up, Alke, we both know you can't defeat me.'' he says before laughing and Alkeyore grit his teeth in response ''Oh, now that you are closer be courteous enough and hand over that key while your body is still able to do so'' Alkeyore shook his head in disappointment " No, Teigue you shall never get the key, but I do have one question for you before I do my duty as a lord of magic.'' ''And what, pray tell, what knowledge do you seek from me my old friend, after all I have done?'' Said Teigue widening his confident smile only to taunt his enemy. Taunt that worked when Alkeyore immediately grabs Teigue by the collar and pulled the wizard’s face closer to his own. ''Why?'' he spat; while his eyes expressed his hatred ''Why did you do all of this, why betray us… your own brothers, to aid those beasts which call themselves demons?'' Teigue's smile could only grew and let out a insane laugh, " Why? Why you ask… well… why not?" He said, allowing his laugh to wander without restriction. ''You are blind like all the others and those who came before, the demons will have their king back, it will not be stopped. Not by you or me or anyone!” Teigue the white continued soon after he calmed from his sudden outburst. “Why should we even try to protect Gaea from his wrath if she shall burn in the end anyways? I figured that by helping him I'll get on his good side, but most of all; killing our weak brothers made me feel…" His eyes lids slowly closed in pleasure as he licked his lips ''Alive'' The Dark wizard didn't hold back and punched the white wizard on the mouth several times until Teigue fell to the ground, '' You sick bastard! They were our brothers; I hope you burn in the seven hells for all the eternity!!!" The rage kept expressing itself. The mad wizard of the light received the blows with sadistic joy until he spoke '' I thank you for the painful lessons my old friend, looks like I need to repay you, to say at least, for such acceptable meal.'' He sneered as he casted the Holy Light on himself, melting the chains of darkness which were holding him then Heaven's Light was released trapping his once friend in a sphere of pure light, the dark wizard never knew what hit him until it was too late to counter the attack. Teigue rises from his prone position and attempted to clean his clothes now stained with blood and dirt and began to do slow circles around the trapped wizard. Alke knew the trouble he was in and rushed to cast a counter spell, only for the magic to melt away by the purifying light. The mad wizard, savoring his soon to be total victory, shoves his palm into the sphere, and cast The Holy Fury sending thousands of blades made of light ripping into Alkeyore’s flesh leaving many open wounds around his body causing the trapped wizard to cry out in great pain; cries were the most beautiful musical notes to the ears of Teigue. He was enjoying the moment so much that he stopped his offensive spell only to hear the wails of agony coming from the sphere. ''Now I ask again, give me the key and you shall feel no more pain.'' Offered the mad wizard in a calming tone despite he enjoyed the pain that was inflicting to his foe. ''Go fuck yourself, you self-righteous, divine light worshiping.. ‘’ “GAH!'' The lord of magic yelled in pain only to be hit by another wave of the Holy Fury, adding more wounds to the thousand which the encaged wizard already had. Teigue sighs in frustration, ''You dark wizards are all the same, always forsaking the glorious way of light for the vile path of darkness. Once I'm done with your corpse I will visit your order and make sure that your kind existence is only a faint rumor before I free the King of demons.'' ''Do-...don't make me laugh Teigue...my guild is safely locked away in the shadow realm, only to those in tune...with the darkness may enter those lands.'' The trapped wizard managed to say while the pain burned through his wounds. With a smile Teigue grabbed Alke by the throat pulling the still trapped wizard closer, '' I know I can't enter that despicable black realm, but that doesn't mean that the Tahuians can't.'' Alkeyore’s face became paler as the remaining blood inside his veins froze ''you're mad…” What Teigue declared was too horrifying to believe him at first “You would enlist the Hunters of all beings to your monstrous quest?! Your soul is more tainted than the king's'. "He croaked. Teigue’s insane grin widened even more, as his grip on the lord of magic loosened ''Why thank you, Alke, but it's too late for flattery. Yet I'll reward you for lasting this long.'' The environment around them became stained with the laugh of an insane wizard. ''Do you even know what kind of reward I have reserved for you?'' Alkeyore took a deep breath rubbing his throat before coughing “…no…*cough*... I have no idea Teigue because I was not taught to read mind of monsters.'' Teigue ignored the insult as he continued his speech of victory ''Oh... but it's a simple spell'' giggled Teigue. ''You see my old friend, believe it or not I have grown tired of killing people using mere tools or spells. So I've come to the conclusion that you deserve another kind of death'' The mad wizard once again began to walk around the dark wizard’s cage as he savored each detail from the vulnerable position which Alkeyore was '' Since my eyes were opened to the truth my mind wondered for a long while; what happens when you combine our magic with demon’s for a spell” Despite Alke was weak and broken; his eyes widened at Teigue’s intentions “ Today you're giving me the perfect chance to test it out.'' Alkeyore’s breath quickened in horror ''N-no Teigue, don't you dare combine those two kind of magic, they were never meant for that!” He knew that his words held no importance to his soon to be executioner but he never gave up. “Not even the king of demons would dare to combine them!'' The worried wizard said, struggling to break free from his chains that the light sphere created, only for them to tighten with every move he dared to do. Teigue continued chuckled at the stupid pleads of his prisoners'' I know, and that's what makes it even more interesting!'' his eyes and face hardened becoming serious before he made a last request ''Now give up the key and I assure you that the result of the combination will be painless as possible” ''Never!, I'd rather die a thousand deaths than give up the key to the fiends like you, Teigue now the demon's slave, fallen lord of light'' snared Alkeyore defiantly, barely ignoring the constant pain from his wounds that kept bleeding ceaseless; and each passing second his body felt cold and numb. Signs that were telling him that his end was near; yet he would not die without fighting for what is just. As confident as Teigue was on his victory; he dared to make a small hole on the light sphere and get closer to the defiant face of the dark wizard'' I would be careful of what you say Alkeyore, because you know better than anybody the fate that wait to the ones who dare to at least pronounce those words, but you will give me the key at the end…” At that point his voice darkened ”Even if that means to rip out your black heart and eat it in front of your dying eyes'' threatened Teigue. Alkeyore without hesitation spat in Teigue's face '' Go fuck yourself!'' Teigue became more and more frustrated of his enemy attitude despite all hope was lost for him, yet he wiped the spit off and sighed in fake disappointment '' I hoped that you would have given in so your death would have been as painless as possible. But time is short after all, I have a job to do and a world to destroy.'' The chains tighten around the body of the doomed wizard nearly crushing all the bones meanwhile Teigue became tired of asking for the key and forced his magic into the robes of the dark wizard. He tried to fight but the chains, the uncountable wounds and the purification light made him impossible to prevent Teigue to retrieve the necklace, which contained the key, from his wrist. "Now, was that so hard my dear friend?” The white wizard gave a small genuine smile yet filled with pure malevolence. “Now that I have what I craved for, it’s time to begin turn the theory to experimentation .'' Teigue then start to utter in the demon tongue meanwhile his open hand starts to glow with the pure aura, and the other which held the key began to glow a sickly greenish red. A magic circle appeared under Alkeyore position, from him trying to form a spell to interrupt the mad wizard sickening hybrid spell. "Te su gal tor vero lumis" The lord of magic tried to cast the simplest of power-up spell, yet good fortune was not with him today. The purifying magic from the chains dispersed what little magic he had before he could form a single spell. 'It was a good attempt while it lasted.' said one part of Alkeyore's mind, which accepted the fate 'What are you saying, we will find a way. We always do' said another which refused to give up, ''Teigue has won ''Alke said to himself. 'So? We've gotten out of much worse situations than this in the past.' argued his mind. ''I was able to rely on my magic back then. This cursed light melts every magical spark before I can form a spell.'' Alke said to his mind 'Yes I understand our problem at this moment. Yet you forget something very important about our magic, darkness is everywhere light is' his mind reminded him. ''Darkness is everywhere light is.'' He echoes, as a small smile full of hope graced his lips. '' I think I get it now. It seems that fate decided that this is not my time yet'' ''Lor demos allta tor uma lomus demos demos Lor demos allta tor uma lomus demos demos" ''Damnation it sounds like is about to hit its final verse! I must act quick!'' Alkeyore didn't waste anytime as he began to gather all the remaining magic that still flowed inside his body then using his own body to create a small point of darkness yet it was enough to form a spell. ''Come on! Just a little more, come on sweet darkness just a little more.........” The seconds felt like an eternity; but he still had faith in the darkness to save him. Faith that was graced with the prize of a spell ready to be released. “That's it!!!!!” "Attla equ lomis lkmis-" "Crimson Nightmare!" Shouted Alkeyore, using every bit of magic in his body, destroying the chains binding him at the same time of the sphere; the backlash explosion impacted Teigue causing to the new kind of magic incomplete. Time that the dark wizard didn't waste and as fast as possible he retrieve the key from his enemy grasp, but he was unknow of the consequences of the unfinished spell. The spell was incomplete resulting to become an uncontrolled cocktail of unstable magic which hits the now free wizard with all its power ripping into his whole being; he flashed one last smile at a furious Teigue, despite the pain was unbearable he couldn't scream. Teigue became the embodiment of rage for underestimate his enemy as his rage expressed in waves of waves of deathly spells which were directed at the inflamed wizard; but it was in vain every single spell was absorbed by the wild spell which increased its size to dangerous measures, yet the wizard of the darkness wasn't doing any better his whole body was glowing a bloody red aura he kept suffering in utter silence as the aura expanded to the point to became unstable and explode in a miniature supernova, Teigue was thrown away from his position several meters yelling curses at his enemy for his cowardice, the supernova then transformed in two different pillars skywards, each pillar represented the type of magic which was combined, the sickening green was for the demon’s magic which Teigue used without care but the other pillar was the same tone of bloody red which Alkeyore had around his body. By the time Teigue opened his eyes he found his prize and his prey were replaced by a burning crater. Outraged at the unfair development of events he screamed in anger as his hands released pillars of flames of the Holy light to sky. "CURSE YOU ALKEYORE!!!!!!!!"
Wolf in Wood (the original)In the far future My glowing white eyes stared at the river as the current ran like the ever blowing wind, I simply sat at it's edge just watching the dark water burble and eddy past the outcrop of stones. I sat like that for a few long, silent minutes, lost in remembrance as the cool summer breeze gently brush against my worn rotting wooden frame my long moss mane swing in the said breeze. Voices and faces long since past filled what one would call my ears.... a small smile crack in my wooden muzzle, I close my glowing eyes holding onto the faces so many memories such fond memories they are, even now in my old age I still could recall them clearly Rainbow Dash that old hag was a bitch to the end, Twilight Sparkle she's a fool only just a bigger fool now........that arrogant bastard of an prince, Blueblood better known as Blueballs so many others come to mind.....but there only one face I truly wish to see one last time the face of my love oh how I miss her tis seem only yesterday when we first meet at this very same river how I long to hold her in my thorny paws one more time feel her soft silky fur against my rough wooden hide. I let out a sigh it won't be long now, soon my darling soon I will join you in the great forest in the sky but there's something I must take care of first...... ''Come on out tis bad manners to stalk a wolf'' I called out to my 'guest' refusing to turn away from the river. No answer ''I know you're there, I been smelling your stinking hind all the way from town'' Still no answer I felt another weak smile crack in my rotting wood ''Fine be like that, there's nothing stopping me from contacting Celestia and Luna~ A deep growl echo all round me attempting to frighten me with pure intimation ''Oh what an terrorizing growl I'm shaking in my roots'' I mockingly laugh '' What's wrong scared of some petty ponies'' I could see ''it's'' smokie reflection in the water as it lurked behind me. ''GrRrR DoN't mOcK Us OlD fOoL wE cOuLd kIlL yOu WhErE yOu StAnD'' growled a sweet voice ''Hen I'm sure you could but then again I will be gone soon enough plus it's not your style to do something that would do me some good eh'' I said smugly ''Besides I had always known that you'll would come for me eventually'' ''YeS yOu ArE cOrReCt On MaNy CoUnTs oAkFaNg, We wOUld RaTheR you SUffer LiKe tHe DoG yOU ArE tHeN tO HeLP yUO aNd Of CoURsE wE CoMe FoR YOu wE AlWaYs CoMe To TakE WhaT is OURS!!!'' said the sweet voice mirthfully ''Hmm perhaps yet you forget I'm haven't been 'yours' for how long......ah yes 1052 years maybe more maybe less'' I said with an wolfish chuckle taking out my pipe ''you mind if I smoke?'' ''No OaKfAnG oNce yOuR MiNe YoU'lL aLwAyS MiNe, YoUr TiMe Of FrEeDoM Is aT An EnD'' Said the sweet voice darkly ''Ah go choke on Discord's cock why don't ya'' said I nonchalantly lighting up my pipe for an drag ''WhaT!!!!!!

''ThAt DePeNds On JuST WhAT tHIs'' I could hear the grimace on Nevermore's ''face'', ''FaVoR enTalEs'' Taking another drag from the pipe ''I wish to tell you a story'' ''An StOrY???'' Nevermore asked in confusion ''ThAT's iT An StOrY, No Trickery; no InSanE PlaNs; no DeMaNd's Of PoWer... BiTs....

For the first time in 'it's' life Nevermore didn't know what to do, here in front of him the old n rotting dying form of an weaken wolf the only....the only wolf who ever abandon 'it' and ''it's' powers for the promise of an different no better life all those years ago who had fought 'it's' control and power over him only to submit himself for an willing 'ear,' ''It's must be some trick.... what is Oakfang's angle'' 'it' thought but as the spirit looked at the old Timber wolf 'it' could only feel pity for the old wolf, here before 'it' sat an broken being that once stared down the odds and win an being who dare to break all ties with his kin to live among those who would cage him and try to destroy him an being who felled for the love of his life only to outlive her in the end. Finally it made a decision that 'it' never did before, Nevermore give the old wolf a smile as 'it' sat next to him by the water's edge '' Thou It's noT mY WaY, I'lL ShAlL GRant YOu tHis One ReQuEst OakFanG, teLL mE YouR StoRy'' ''Thank you Nevermore'' I said opening my glowing white eyes giving my ancient enemy a wide simile that near cause my face wood to crack badly'' This is an tale of an mare and an Timber wolf, it all started many years ago in The Everfree..............

I let out a sigh it won't be long now, soon my darling soon I will join you in the great forest in the sky but there's something I must take care of first...... ''Come on out tis bad manners to stalk a wolf'' I called out to my 'guest' refusing to turn away from the river. I knew who it was scent is something you can't really mask for an born hunter, if I was younger I would be more aggressive towards her but now in my advance age it did little to bother me. It funny you know if you live long enough things that use to bother you lose that ability in mere years. No answer ''I know you're there, I been smelling your stinking hind all the way from town, out on out and quit sulking like an changeling '' I said while shaking my head at my guest antics disapprovingly '' speaking of changelings hows your colt? I hear he's married an changeling princess perhaps attempting to unite the ponies with their changeling breadth.'' this time my only answer was an set of hooves clopping unseen the only reason why cause I keep my graze upon the swirling waters.......it would so easy all I had to do was jump and then I would be reunited with my love. Yet in my heart I knew she wouldn't want that, hen she'll probably kick my wooden ass back into the world of living to live my last few seasons. would it be worth it? to see her again by taking my own life............my heart tells me yes while I know that it wasn't the case I still had a few loose ends to tie before I could finally sleep the final sleep. ''Oakfang'' said an familiar feminine voice from behind me '' what are you doing at here you should be back in Ponyville with the rest of our friends.'' Your friends you mean Twilight, mine are all gone for I am the only one left.'' I said while taking out my most prized possession an pipe that my love had given to me for our first hearths warming together it was an simple wooden pipe but in it was craved our names........it all I had left to remember by ''you mind if I smoke?'' ''Yes I do mind it's not healthy and destroys the lungs......Oakfang you shouldn't be like to that our friends they love having you around especially when you tell stories'' said Twilight with an pout '' Suite yourself my little pony,'' I said nonchalantly while lighting up my pipe for an drag. taking an slow n deep drag from the pipe the smoke leaked out from the cracks in my rotting wood Timber wolves never aged pretty rotting wood, very uncomfortable swelling knots in our wood.......falling apart think of an very old wooden house and you'll would be close to how an Timber wolves ages. ''Twilight you remember this river? '' It's called the vanishing river only on truly sunny days the waters could be seen, if not sunny then the river disappears from sight but it's still there........something to do with the natural magics of Equestria '' said Twilight no doubt using the knowledge she had gathered in her library I never understood how she even could live in one dusky old books buried in layers of dust at an time it's not something I would call normal then again it is Ponyville after all and who am I too judge? I am an Timber wolf that left the Everfree, to an town of strange and weird ponies I am the strange one. ''for me it's where I first met her...........'' I tail off falling into silence for an few moments my memory started to grow a bit hazy with an shake of my head I casted off the haziness focusing on my love's violent eyes '' I'm dying Twilight......I know it you know it, I don't have too feel it in my wood to know it .'' ''Oakfang.....'' said Twilight in sad tone I didn't need to look at her to know that her head was down in an submission pose if I was an younger wolf this would had been the perfect time to strike but I am not, we both had grew out of the people we were when we were younger. '' it doesn't have to be this way I'm sure that we could find the c- She stops in mid-sentence when she noticed my glowing white eyes were looking at her '' Twilight stop, just stop this is something that happens no magic is ever going to fix me, you learn that when your friends died nine hundred years ago'' ''But'' said Twilight sheepishly her Amethyst eyes failed to met me in the eye '' its not death or age that's taking it's toll on you......it's something else......please Oakfang let me help you'' Taking a couple more drags from the pipe I thought of Twilight's offer......what if she could reverse the damage? it could very well save my life but was it worth it? Death will come for me if not now but just in an few odd years, Twilight wouldn't be left alone yet she still has her family and the other Alicorns to keep her company........I had nothing keeping me here. No it would be worth living one more year ''I wish to tell you a story Twilight''
Shadow n flames (abandon)Prologue The Last Guardian of Thorh-un-gul · Deep in the Everfree forest Despair's mind-space Beware, beware of the eyes in flames Cloaked in darkness dwells in the shadows of the room Flee you fool for when he's ah'coming Near is your End Beware, beware of the eyes in flames is coming for you Run and hide, run and hide Pray that he never finds you If he finds you then you surely will die you surely will die For no one can save you When Despair has you ''Ahhhhhhhhh curse the one who made that dammed song'' shots Despair, ''Why that song still stuck in mah head after all these eons.'' The shadow-kin flops back into his ''chair'' his head falling into his draconian claws each sporting five talons cradling the said head ''I can't handle another 50,687,878,743,289,756,431 years trapped as a fucking statue,'' he looks up from his claws glancing at that once mighty capital city now ruins severing as his and his long dead allies tomb, looking to the ''sky'' pleadingly ''If the gods both known and unknown can hear me then mark these words I would do anything to be out anything you hear me I know you assholes can, let me out.’’ No answer was given to the trapped shadow. ''Fucking cunts'' he whispers to himself. He sighs as his hauntingly hellish fiery red eyes once again glance at the ruin city he once protected ''A shame ain't it , this city was once the greatest city ever-build by monster hands....ahem claws; so mighty; so majestic; so beautiful; the pride of all the monster races; I truly cared from her; now look at what they done to her so ruin; so dead as if you can still herd its denizens cry out in anguish over this once grand city.'' He gives a sad chuckled as his eyes fall to the nearby 9 ft horned skeleton in old now dust torn rags holding a smaller skeleton in a lovers embrace the sealed shadow felt a sad smile appear on his ''face'' his thoughts go back to the day he was dragged into this mess. Memory Sequence many years ago ''Yo Wind ya think he would bother to help us after all these years'' asked a short human woman in goggles and the stank of gunpowder standing outside of a dimly lit cave. ''Yes I do havoc, he may never forgotten all what Humanity (the human race) and Monsterity (the monster races) done to him, may his heart is now colder ice but I know him very well, Despair will help us faster then anybody else.'' said the 9 ft. tall blue skinned Horned monster known as a Wendigo by the name of Wind steeling himself to enter the shadow-kin's lair. ''But Despair's a monster hunter by trade if ya go in there, he'll kill ya faster than a jackrabbit on the fourth of July!'' said Havoc worried for her monster lover. ''Don't worry love Despair wouldn't harm me........well he would at least hear me out first before going for a kill'' Wind dryly laughs only for Havoc to deadpan saying yeah that make me feel better as if, Wind embraces her whispering ''All shall be fine'' before entering the dimly lit cave. Hours pass as Wind silently weft through the passages of the lair worry glancing at the severed heads of both monster and human alike hang for the ceiling warning all to turn back. Wind once again steel himself with the knowledge that if he doesn't find Despair all would be lost. Deeper into the gloom he went the path growing damp and unsure leading him to a large camber. ''Dead end???'' Wind asked himself ''I don't remember there being a dead end here.'' he looks around for an path yet not a one comes to light, ''Maybe I took a wrong turn.'' he turns around to go back only to wittiness the old path to fade away into the shadows the wendigo smiles knowingly ''Despair, I know you there I come here seeking your guidance old friend!'' Wind call out. no answer. ''Please old friend we have need of you!'' beg the winter spirit. '' Turn back fool for no help ye shall find in this place.'' whisper a disembodied voice in a sad tone. '' No I shall not go Despair, I seek your aid!'' called Wind. '' I said go away Wind what need you of all monsters have of a shadow.'' ''War is coming.'' said Wind sorrowfully. '' War??? with whom I ask?'' ''Despair the time of hiding is over they know.'' said Wind cryptically. ''I see the council has finally heeded my warnings only but all too late, what it has to do with me.'' ''The council has called all monsters to Thorh-un-gul (the monsters capital city) to prepare for the battles to come.'' said Wind. '' Why need me you know I have no love for both the council and the humans, you know what they done to me why I should bother with their problems.'' ''I remember what happen well Despair, but now is not the time to hold grudges we need to get the team back to together.'' said Wind. '' Is it you who want the oath-keepers to return or is it the council ether way I want no part of the keepers.'' ''Both Despair both me and the council need the keepers to return to guard the city once more.'' replay Wind. '' Eh in the end it matters not if the keepers are there or not I still see no need for me to return.'' Wind huffs '' I see that your years in away from the field has rob you of your wrathful courage what would they say the once great Despair is now nothing but a coward.'' A roar fill the room as Wind felt a blade made of shadow dangerously close to his throat his body binned by a force ''Is that a challenge!!!!'' roared Despair.. ''Only if you make it into one Despair'' said Wind '' the choice is yours old friend.'' Despair remove his blade and releases Winds body from his grasp '' Fine you want Despair's wrath in the keepers then you shall have my wrath old friend.'' End Memory Sequence present time ''Hahaha, he knew along that I would help to protect Thorh-un-gul in the end and here I'm still guarding her even if she in ruins.'' Despair muttering aloud, ‘’I wonder what would happen if I never joined Wind in the mission would the war end on a different note then again if I wasn't there then who would push him out of the way of that strange beam, then he would be stone instead of me so I guesses in a way I saved him from this fate yet only to die in Havoc's arms, its seem ironic that despair saves love.’’ A series of loud crashes sounds echo off the ruin walls followed by painful moaning. ''What the hell was that,'' thought Despair ''Wait moaning???'' A few hours before the crash Unknown pov In a different part of the Everfree in a stood a tree-house where Daring do the world famous tomb raider, author, now newly wed was once again fighting her sworn enemy(still in her wedding gown). The dread Ahuizoti of the Southern Jungles, (who wearing a tribe-full head dress with eagle feathered skit) the two nemesis began a wrestling match. Destroying the once furnish bedroom redecorating it into a pigsty quickly, Daring once again pin Ahui down her plot in his lap suggestively. ''Ha I win again come on Ahui you should of learn by now the you will never beat me.'' said Daring smugly Ahui smiles knowingly ''On the contrarily miss Do you should know after the years of plotting against you, I always have a tick up ma ''sleeve'' his tail snake from his backside its hand-like tip slips under her gown sensitively brushing her plot make it's way to her tan feathered wings She grasps at Ahui's touch seemly melt father into his broad chest her eyes roll back in pleasure a deep blush on her muzzle ''Oh Ahui'' she purred, ''You know just how to touch me, ohhhhh mama likes'' His smile widens before closing in kissing her deeply, Daring moans into his mouth as her tongue brushes against his long fangs adding a sense of danger to the kiss that makes her want her newly husband even more, sadly Ahui breaks the kiss to soon for her liking to take deep breaths of much need air. Deep breathing ''Oh sweet mercifully haven'' the blue monkey-like Sphinx swerved, ''Daring baby I swear that your kisses are like the greatest treasure I ever hunted why I didn't married you sooner I don't know.'' his paw out stench to his lover's muzzle who in-return meet it with a nuzzle ''Mm-mm, I don't see why you didn't back then but you were such a fool in those days.'' Daring hums ''No, I would be a fool if I never to work up the nerve to ask you out last year, now here we are married'' he says happily She pucks his cheek ''You sweet talker you'' she giggles, ''Trying to earn brownie points huh'' Ahui massages his chin in though ''Maybe yes maybe no'' then he nuzzles her, ''Care to find out'' he whispers into her ear suggestively before nipping it Daring hums in thought her hoof gently brushing his chest fur ''Nope,'' she jumps off of his lap adding a swing to her hips trotting to the side bathroom turning her head back to her husband winking ''Maybe tonight'' entering the bathroom her hoof bucking the door close changing out her gown, starting the bath calling back to Ahui on the other side '' Hay Ahui.'' ''Yes Dares.'' ''Wanna explore the Everfree herd that there are still many secrets in these woods that even the Princesses don't know'' She says checking the water temp. nodding her head approvely before sipping in Ahui hums ''Sure why not'' also changing out of his tribe's wedding suite ''What you think is waiting for us in the forest'' Her wing grabbing the soap ''Besides manticores, timber-wolves, Hydras, other Everfree animals no idea that the best part.’’ Ahui chuckles ''You always looked your best when danger is near,'' his back leaning on the door only for it to open causing him to land on his tail yelping ''ouch' with Daring sporting a arousing wet mane and soapy body starring down at Ahui smugly mareishly giggling ''You know if you wanted to join me all you had to do was ask.'' Sometime later After horsing around Daring and Ahui was deep in the forest taking time to marvel at the woods that all ponies feared, (mines Daring) unlike the those ponies Daring spent most of her life in the wild places of Equuis danced narrowly with death on many of nights; Ahui on the other hoof like her also spent his life in the wilds yet unlike her; he was born into the wilds while she was from Canterlot giving him a greater connection with said wilds. She still remembers the day they first met back then, she was nothing but a lost and frighten philly that was washed on the shores of Ahui's homeland the Great Southern Jungles. As the fates would have it, Ahui was to be the one to find her on the fateful day, a mere brave of the local Sphinx tribe, he dragged her body from the sea to safety saving her life and nurse her back to health sadly back then she was quite the spoiled noble's daughter she put the young Ahui life though Tatarus but over the time she spend with Ahui and his tribe her thirst for adventure (and newly relies love for Ahui) grew. She smiles warmly thinking of the many adventure they had before becoming rivals in the tomb raiding world then as of last year lovers after saving her like he first did all those years ago. She was so deep in thought she didn't notice the hidden hole in the ground till she felt nothing but air under her hooves she gasps ''AHUI.......'' as she plummets down the hole with Ahui calling her name, jumping in after her hitting rocks, trembling against the walls of the long tunnel of the hole soon landing next to his love in piles of ancient bones moaning loudly before everything went black
The Hand Of Despair (currant)Hidden away in the very bowels of the earth, where the light is a faint rumor; is the long forgotten deeps where no one ever ventured. But such claim is wrong; there stands utterly alone a statue that mix with the dark that only the most perceptive of eyes can see its form from afar, this statue was unlike any that had been build in civilizations, the statues were known to show power, victory, sadness, regret, calmness, happiness, memories. However this black pillar of stone could only spoke of the negative aspects that never are showed in statues because art I supposed to be beautiful not terrifying. The shape of the cave where is located has several tunnels connecting to it either be smaller or bigger allowing to the air to reach the place but still barely; however it can create the harmony of the caves filling the environment with its baleful melodies. But the melodies are not alone; is accompanied by a voice a deep one which is distorted but when one can manage to understand it is possible to hear the lyrics of a song; if that can be considered as one. Beware Beware, beware from the eyes in yellowish flames We’re one with the darkness Dwells in the shadows Especially yours, Don’t try to flee Because betray yourself you will Near is your End Beware The light is your enemy The darkness is your doom Run and hide, If you can Let your prays loose When he reaches you You will die “I still find amusement with that tune after countless years of playing it back.'' A voice emanated from the supposed artistically structure yet the faint mirth in its voice fades leaving it an empty silent shell for a while. “No!” “Is been EONS, how much longer must I suffer in this gloom!?'' One would believe that there inside a statue there is nothing but as it had been stated before this statue is different from the others meaning that it was a mental escape where the only resident remain there, what lurked in the surreal land was a ‘thing’; describing it with words would have been an impossible task. ''I cannot endure another year inside of this miserable statue,'' he growled with venom and fretfulness, supposedly his form was sitting upon a small structure that served as a seat he didn’t find comfort from it not because the seat wasn’t comfortable because it was fantasy however he still was aware that a body has limbs; even if it was moldable at his tastes, his surrounding both mental and external were pure darkness but from his pseudo-eyes he could see the faint ghost forms of what used to be a capital city where people used to live; more than anger was dread the overwhelming feeling that at last came victorious. His gaze went upwards meeting the nothingness, also can be called the void, there was no point in shouting and yelling curses, furthermore for meaningless pleads and cries of anguish; he passed several centuries intercalating between them. Anyways it served him somehow to spend the time; but immortality is a curse. “Freedom! I demand liberation from this humiliating prison!” As always and expected no answer arrived to him. ''HARLOTS!!'' he roared to the void that was supposedly the sky in his mental escape “My freedom will arrive!'' Silence. He sighed as his hauntingly yellow pseudo-eyes focused on the outside world; or outside prison, so once again he could take a glance at the debris that used to be city.......his proud city. “Thorth-un-gol … seeing you in this state destroy me from the inside, where are your majestic buildings? Your arcane towers? Your proud citizens? The sanctuaries? Your vast fields of natural life?'' He remembers, he recalls the events of that fateful day when the need arises or when he tries to analyses the situation and think what he could’ve done. But this time it was neither of those two, he simply wanted to remember in fake peace. ***Memory Sequence many years ago*** The Great City of Thorth-un-gol, the hidden capital city of unique living beings that stood proud for more than two thousand years… Was collapsing by the hellish flames… Ever city gates were surrounded by armies of Humanity, humanity forgot each other differences and their long history of distrust and wars ended, because they shared a common goal, one single purpose. Purge the world from the plague. Humanity held dear the belief that the monsters are to be hunted to the last; to their eyes monsters were irrational creatures which their bloodlust was the only thing they could follow. Humanity after reconciling with each other became proud in their numbers, vast armies and especially their technology, and with pride and high morale they began their assault on the city starting to siege the walls; however their armies were pushed back by the braves forces charged to protect those walls with their very lives no matter the cost. The army consisted in every monster that was known in the world and was registered in the human’s archives; Werewolves, Harpies, Giants, Elves; Windigos, Vampires, Minotaurs, Fauns, Gorgons, Ghosts, Trolls, Witches, Zombies, and many others species fought against the persistent humans who tried to force their way in to the city. http://cddiski-s3.s3.amazonaws.com/40353/screenshot/e2a8c69f.jpg The Goliath was the pride of the last technological masterpiece of human engineers’ creation; kings and generals held together several banquets after the first Goliath was finished, the maximum weapon. Deforestations were done; iron mines were emptied of its resources, quarries were drastically reduced only to produce these masterpieces. Bigger than the giants and also stronger, power to crush entire squads, able to spread boiling oil around it, spit fire like a dragon and several canons accompanied by rifles and crossbows. Truly a masterpiece. The numbers in the battlefield were unknown to the defense forces but they couldn’t focus to such things while their own giants were trying to destroy the first deployed Goliath. But also they couldn’t forget that they had other war-machines to worry for, though unlike the Goliaths some of them were useless against the Trolls who their size and strength could destroy them in a single blow and the goblins easily dismantled them from the inside. But since the arrivals of the warfare master piece the fighting spirit of the humans skyrocketed, and their numbers were something to not laugh of, Thorth-un-gol’s forces were outnumbered 450 to 1; it was a lost battle. It didn’t matter that they were repelling waves of waves of enemy soldiers it was matter of time for the line of defense to succumb to the enemy. However any of the soldiers were going to fall until they have killed enough, no matter if they were impaled, shoot, pierced, burned, cut; they would use their last breath to deliver a killing blow. ''Captain!'' a strained shout of an ogre could be heard from afar; the same word repeating over and over again and it became louder, the ogre was wounded from both bullets and arrows, his leather armor seemed useless against the power of the fire arms ''Captain Azwraith!! The east gate is failing!! Captain Wind called for reinforcements!” “Another giant appeared in the battlefield!!!” The ogre finisihed with another terrible notice, each appearance of an artificial giant was a terrible blow to the army morale. '' DAMNATION!!'' Yelled a grim figure that had resemblance with human silhouette, the yellow flames which served as the eyes turned blood red. ''Its impossible!! The north gate had already fallen; those cursed abominations of giants are wiping out everything that attempt to block its path.'' “But the east gate will fall too!” “THEN GO AND DEFEND IT!” The black figure was no more, his final shout turned him completely red. Silence followed, the red color slowly returned to the natural grim dark, Azwraith Nevermore sighed knowingly the reality of the situation at hand, his city was going to be destroyed. '' Captain I was ordered to search for your aid in the battlefield.'' The wounded soldier spoke, his breaths becoming labored as the time was wasted inefficiently. “There are no more troops to deploy, reinforcements is an impossible task.” The soldier averted his gaze to another place but Azwraith’s pseudo-eyes., disappointment and small hint of despair descending upon his shoulders, he a powerful ogre grunt was scared. “I shall head to the east gate.” The shadow began to take form, he could be anything that he wanted; he could change at will but he always had preference to the human form. However that didn’t mean that he would keep the form one hundred accurately; this time he took a form of an hybrid a combination of all the species known by him. He had already set on his will that he will take down at least one of those fake giants. “Captain?” “I shall be the reinforcements for the Captain Wind, bring your hand.” The brutish soldier was hesitant but those thoughts were shaken off hastily and with determination he grabbed the supposed hand of his captain and placed a considerable grip on it. He felt how the wounds of his body were closing as the pieces of metals were falling to the floor, then he saw that he had been healed. “Now is time for us to head to the battlefield where our brothers are fighting with courage.” *** End Memory Sequence******* A series of loud sounds echoed through the darkness, it was rocks or ruins falling; and there were only two possibilities for a rock or ruins fall inside the cave, either be that there was an earthquake or that something found the a way to enter the remains of a fallen city. But if it was an earth quake I would have felt the incoming waves from the underground and it would have been louder, leading me to conclude that indeed was a living being who has entered the scorched grounds of Thorth-un-gol. I’m curious; I want to know the foolish being that dared to invade my sacred land. Between the trees of the Everfree forest, resided a tree but a different tree; unlike the thousands of trees inside the forest this specifically one had a small but well maintained tree-house, the residence had an owner who was very famous and for being famous being secluded was the best option to avoid crowds and more. Inside the small build currently was a tan Pegasus mare dressed in her symbolic explorer shirt and her famous adventurer hat; of course we are talking about Daring Doo, the author of the Daring Doo’s series a world famous book, which is rumored that even the princesses read the books. However the author was debating with herself, a lot of things were on her mind but only two issues were which she put more effort to find a solution; the first was about take a bath or not and the second topic was about her last book. 'Daring do and the Golden Dragon's Tooth' was … Different. A failure in sales to be brutally honest. Her right hoof passed over her face as she groaned in annoyance; she blamed those critics and also the company who was designed to publish and announce her work; Daring put a lot of effort in trying to create something new with her last book a different kind of adventure if it could be said; but sometimes what one like doesn’t mean that the rest will do. She blamed the company for not revising the contents or even tried to stop her from publishing the book, she recalled a long time ago when she submitted her first book to the company and they were extremely critical and very perfectionist with the details and since she became famous they trusted her that whatever she gives would be top quality, they trusted her too much it seems. To her unpleasant surprise also her fans sent letters to her; she was accustomed to them and always it had written on them about how awesome the book was or asking about a sneak peak for the next book, but this time was different; really but really different. This time the letter contained complains and insult, it could be called hate-mail; however between all those letter something held in common, the book was horrible and deserved to be destroyed for good. Daring never thought that she would use her fans’ letters for maintain the fire of her chimney, and here it is doing what she never thought she would do, over and over again a letter was send to be burned but she separated one from the rest because it was formal unlike the others, she had an idea of who was the responsible. She was right, the company threatened her. She needed to write another and bring it over as soon as possible, and it must return the fame that the Daring Doo series had before the fall. If not, not only she would be fired, she would never be able to write again for other companies because the owner and directors were very but very spiteful, if she failed to meet the terms of her last chance they would made sure that her career as writer would be ruined for the next 4 generations. She sighed, she was tired of dealing with that, and she was tired of everything. “So, this is failure.” She never had experienced that feeling since she was a filly, but nobody can compare failure as a young with failure as an adult the two of them are different by a long gap. In front of the chimney her legs slowly gave away and she allowed her body to gently fall and meet the wooden floor of her house, she brought both of her hooves to her head and tried to cover herself with them hoping that everything will end or just vanish, that somehow exist the edit option to she could correct her mistakes. No, she wasn’t going to cry for something so petty she was going to overcome this obstacle but dread was an understanding; ''Daring Doo?'' a voice echoed through the room where she was laying, she knew who the owner was but she didn’t say anything much less move her body. ''Are you alright?'' No response. “We need to talk.” The owner voice became serious, it was obvious what he wanted to talk. After all she went behind his back and published it without him knowing because she feared that the he was going to reject it and prevent her from publishing it; she also regretted that course of action. “I know Ahuizotl!” The pony from the floor replied with mild anger or frustration that had been coaxing inside her. “I just… you know… this is... I’m sorry okay?!” “You wanted me to say it?! I AM SORRY!” “SORRY!” Ahuizotl remained silent as he stared at his friend, and how she tried to cover herself with both of her hooves. “You don’t need to yell at me, you know?” He deadpanned. “Gosh… all of this…is just…frustrating.” Daring Doo and Ahuizotl the main character and the villain from the book were next to each other, they were friends and also adventurers, or explorers. Her books actually contains her adventures over the unknown part of the world shouting to be discovered, technically is her diary in some way that was sold for the public to read it. Most of the contents happened for real, you heard right; most. It was true that exploring and venturing into isolated places were dangerous and you could have the bad luck to encounter grave robber or just thieves hoping to find an old artifact or relic; however those cases were rare. The traps were not that dangerous, though they were very well hidden between the ruins and literally a bad step was the meaning of dead; so it could be said that her life was always on the line in each temple or sanctuary she had entered before, but also there were other times that she found all the traps already triggered and a corpse or just bones. But how she was able to find lost ruins when other didn’t? The answer was easy. She asked for help with the local natives. Strangely she found somepony who knew how to speak Equestrian, the natives weren’t wild like her books described; most of them were quite friendly and were fascinated by the foreigners, but other times any of them knew the language so she needed to spend a few months learning the basics so the interaction could be possible and with that obstacle surpassed they could tell her the stories about their culture and lead her to places that used to be from lost civilizations. She could say that she knew more languages than any other being in the planet; of course don’t counting the princesses since she didn’t know if they are multilingual. But what does this has to do with Ahuizotl being her friend? Ahuizotl was a native from a tribe that was near a lost temple from the south continent, that place is still unexplored but the crown had already send expeditions teams this year; however the Pegasus could claim with pride that she was the first to discover those places, the first foreigner of course; she already forgot the name of the tribe and that’s something that might stay in secret in front of her friend. The story with her friend was that he had the adventurer spirit and wanted meet the world so he left the tribe with Daring Doo; at first she was very hesitant with the idea of a companion even more that said fellow adventurer only knew his native language so Daring taught him how to speak Equestrian as they explored more; it took him years to learn the language and the written part was another story. They met each other for years in other words. But why she put him as the villain? Simple. When Daring began to write her first book she needed a villain with a good name and also not a common, so Ahuizotl was perfect; of course with his approval. '' Well, your little stunt ruined the good name of the series'' Ahuizotl remarked. “Thanks! You really know how to cheer up somepony.” The tan Pegasus glared daggers at him; her sarcasm was too easy to find in her voice. Ahuizotl rubbed his temples as he sighed in exasperation; it was ONE of those times. “Are you going to calm down?” Daring Doo kept staring at him with her narrowed face, he just raised an eyebrow with the intentions to say without words that his position wasn’t going to change in the slightest unless she realized her mistake. It was a stare battle; but it didn’t last long since the pony sighed in defeat and slowly stood up from the wooden floor, in her mind she prayed that she didn’t get an itch stuck somewhere on her belly because she felt a pinch minutes ago. So they talked. A lot. Despite letting everything out of her chest she didn’t drop a single tear in the whole ordeal, she believed that crying was a waste of time. Now Daring was resting on her hammock which was customized enough so she wouldn’t have any problems with her wings at the moment of sleep; the reason she didn’t get a bed was that with a hammock one can move side to side with it, it is a moving object unlike the bed. Probably is a child thing but it was her decision after all. “Hey” her friend started “Mmm?” The Pegasus was not fine and was exhausted mentally, staying in her hammock and swaying side to side was everything that she wanted to do, nothing was going to move her even if the there was an incoming arrow or fire she wouldn’t not move an inch she could die for all what she care; however it appears that her luck only accompany her when she is exploring. “Its adventure time.” “What?” Surprisingly to her, she had moved from her spot. “Its adventure time.” Ahuizotl’s grin was any indication, he had something in mind that might cheer her up. “That sounded very childish.” She returned with a small smile of hers “So…I take it as a yes?” Daring Doo forgot all the reasons of why she stayed on her hammock and gave a determinate look “Bring me my hat and count me in.” He rolled his eyes and shook his head, however he already achieved his objective, Daring Doo has returned to business.
Metal Domination (the original)In a small secluded part of Canterlot gardens ''Eddie you awake? I mentally asked the skeletal humanoid statue next to me. ''Hell no Guy let me fucking sleep!!!!'' my little brother mentally rudely screamed. ''Oh good then you don't have to watch the show'' I mentally said smugly watching the two ponies getting lucky at Eddie's feet soft moans coming from the hot pink Alicorn mare filling the air as her white unicorn stallion took her innocence......again. ''What are you..........O come on not *again**!!!''' Eddie's cried in both lamented and jealousy ''Fuck! how many times these ponies are going to fuck on me, I still have stains from the last time!''* ''Ah you just jealous that their are getting some and you're not~'' I said teasingly with a small chuckle while watching the pony couple go at it like rabbits but I notice something off about the mare at the start of the act she bled. I remember every couple that ever took it to the next level on us this couple was one of them, she lost her innocence on me the first time yet she bled once again. ''I recall that your not getting any either, you're a motherfucking statue like me. '' growled Eddie his skeletal jaws grinding their sharp points against each other. ''Ouch that was a low blow brother,'' I said mentally holding my gut ''Eddie is it just me or that pink mare isn't Cadance?'' '' Yeah you're right Guy,'' said Eddie mentally also taking note of the bleeding pony snatch ''that's definitely not little Candy and Shiny's eyes are a different color......wait green eyes?'' ''Changelings!'' both me and Eddie said with a scowl on our mental faces. Changelings...... it just had to be fucking Changelings, we remember Discord's bug-like enforcers well after all they were made from our (forcefully taken) blood mixed with pony DNA then warp by the Draconequus's chaos magic, we had thought that the sisters had manage to kick them out of this side of Equus after Discord had turn us to stone 1005 years ago. But with this fake Cadance we knew it was only a matter of time before the whole hive went out on the offense, once again we struggle against the magical bindings we had to warn the girls about the changeling return. Only for the magic like all the other times we attempted to break free strike right back at us with the burning touch of chaos energy once the pain finally resided away I notice was something off with the energy, ''Weak'' I mentally whispered ''Eddie! the magic weakening! if we kept up the pressure the spell will break!'' ''I'm fucking sick of Discord's shit time to bring out the big guns!'' Eddie yells mentally with an shit eating grin. ''Metal?'' I asked with a bigger grin . ''I wanna hear some Metal!'' He cries out all pumped up. '' I got the perfect song in mind'' I yell back as the drums begin to echo in our mind space. Youtube Video ''Dream evil, '' said Eddie with an approving look ''good choice brother.'' ''Thanks Eddie now we wait while the magic of metal dominates the power of chaos.'' I said my grin fading at the sound of the pony couple finishing together and the sound of Eddie bitching about some of their musky liquid hits him in an stony eye ''I only hope we get out of here in time.'' In the outside world Two ponies held each other in an lover's embrace while leaning up against an ancient moss covered bipedal statue the statue had clearly seen better days but the couple could careless about some hunk of Marble. The Stallion gently run his hoof along his mare's disheveled multi colored mane before glancing at the purple tinted dome protecting the city his white fur brisking in the cool night air. ''Shiny oooh shiny,'' purred Cadance her muzzle nuzzling into her husband to be's chest '' that....that was something else.'' Shiny looked down on the love of his life, a soft loving smile grace his lips '' I take it that her highness had found her loyal bodyguard had severed her well on this night.'' ''Yes she has'' giggled Cadance in sing song voice ''But tell me why again we mated in front of these statues I find their faces very unnerving it almost seems like they were watching us.'' Shiny looks at the faces of the statutes despite the years of seeing them he did to found them to be unnerving the statue they were leaning up against was skeletal in nature with wild mane dual wielding Minotaur war axes and the other was hooded yet the hood did nothing to hid the wide toothy smile in its clawed hands small cannon like weapons but what truly unnerving about them are their eyes if almost like they really were alive. ''Well they were,'' coughed Shiny nervously '' didn't you knew the legend after all you took us here on our fourth date, you said that every couple in Canterlot heard at some point in their lives.'' ''Shiny,'' said Cadance unamused ''What legend are you talking about I lived in Canterlot my whole life and I never heard of this legend'' ''You know what I talking about the legend of the spirits of earth and fire,'' said Shiny shaking head at the pink mare his eyebrow raised ''you said that any couple that pays homage to them by mating before them will gain their blessing and be forever chained to one another if that union proves to be false then statues will become flesh once more and that false couple will not see the light of day, you said that by mating to them is an test to prove how much one loved another.'' ''Statues coming to life,'' said Cadance sceptically before bursting out laughing at the sheer stupidity at the very idea of stone statues coming to life ''Shiny honey I think you been hanging out with your geeky friends for too long.'' ''Cadance!'' said Shiny with an pout ''they're not geeks they....they....they just mare challenge.'' ''So what you saying Shiny is...their geeks.'' said Cadance with a knowing grin before leaving her wet but warm bed that was Shiny. ''Cadance where are you going? asked Shiny leaving his spot beside the statue of the earth spirit following after his mate. The pink Alicorn stops in her tracks looking back at Shiny giving the unicorn an sultrily look ''You know my bed often gets very cold at night I'm sure Celestia won't mind me having some company~'' ''What about the legend of the spirits of earth and fire'' Shiny gulp an blush forming on his white cheeks while trilled of the idea of round 2 ''Shouldn't we I don't know thank them or something?'' ''Shiny,'' said Cadance giving Shiny a hungry smile ''you have two choices you can stay here with those two moldy old statues to keep you warm or.......she pauses sensibly tuning her hoof down her chest brushing her teats presenting them to her stallion.....come with me to my nice warm bed where I'll show you how much I love you~'' ''Who cares about some dumb old statues anyways.'' said Shiny eagerly trying and failing to keep little shiny down. ''My point exactly.'' singed Cadance giving Shiny a little prance flagging her tail teasing her stallion with flashes of pink. As the couple disappeared in the darkness of the night leaning up against to other they fail to notice the slight cracking sound in the air coming from the glowing twin statues.
Chaotic Marks (the original)The Frozen North I closed my eyes at the feeling of the crisp frozen air of the North caress my wings, the snow dancing along my feathers. I sighed happily at their relaxing touch stealing away my stress and worries, oh how I love the everlasting northern winter lands and the winter's magic. If I could stay here in this cold I would be one happy mare....... nothing absolutely nothing could ruin this moment . ''Princess!! Princess Faust!!!'' yowls the voice an elderly unicorn mare stumbling in the snow. Oh buck not her not now! I mentally lament before answering the yowling hag ''What is it Rosy love can't you see I am trying to enjoy myself for once.'' ''Enjoyment'' said Rosy love scandalously ''Tis not proper for a Princess to enjoy anything! A Princess only need discipline and an proper husband!'' ''hen I see your that your still stuck in the past you old nag'' I said mockingly, I had heard that same old song and dance from her for the last fifteenth years honesty I don't where my father found such an relic. ''Faust Platinum!'' the old mare shirk while i roll my eyes ''Your father the King will hear of this insult!'' ''Oh I'm shaking in my boots '' I said nonchalantly, you love to forget that father is too busy with his subjects to deal with you Rosy. ''Boots! Oh Holy Galaxia tis worse than I thought!'' she swoons dramatically. Again I rolled my eyes ''Rosy stop it you're going to put yourself at the witch-doctor's......again. '' ''This is the worse possible thing ever!!!! says Rosy dramatically ignoring my warning ''The Queen would have my hind!! ''Rosy!'' I said calling the unicorn hag. ''She'll throw me into the dungeons once she hears of how bad you frame of mind is!!!!'' cried the unicorn in full panic mode ''No she'll sell me to the dragons I'm too petty to be lizard food!'' ''Rosy!'' I repeat myself my right eyes twitching at the old hag's ridiculousness, mother haven't sold a pony to a dragon since an mare named Heartless Grace was married to the King of Dragons I heard that their wedding was even bigger and even more dangerous than father's and mother's was. There is talk that the King of dragon only married the mare because she was carrying the great golden Dragon's brew of hatchlings ''No she will send to me to a even worse fate! She would have me married off to an Windigo!!!!!!'' Rosy cried in despair ''ROSY LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CALM THYSELF YOU HAG!!!'' I shouted in the royal Canterlot voice the force of my shout sends the unfortunate old mare flying through the very air ''EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeepppppppppp'' screamed Rosy as she lands into a large hill of snow a mile away from me the only thing that was visible was her plot sticking out of the snow hill with her back-legs running wildly, I could swear that I heard her screaming threats with her mouth filled with snow. Again I sigh solemnly as an thought enters my mind ''Now you had done it father would surely be hearing of this one mother too '' ''I better get her out of there before she puts herself at the witchdoctors again'' I said to myself as I began to canter to the distressed mare........... -Crack- I stop immediately at the sound my ears alert actively swiveling seeking the source of the sound. At first they picked up nothing till I moved my hoof again the strange cracking made itself known to the world ''How odd? What is under my hoof?'' I mental asked myself. A deathly quiet moan reach my ears my eyes widen at the sound ''Somepony is under me!'' I screamed at the top of my Alicornian lungs leaping away from the spot as an large creature made out of mismatch animal parts emerge from the snow bank both me and my mind screamed at the unnatural sight horror fills my being at the sight of the creature it had the legs of an green dragon and ox an brown furred serpentine body, a Lion's paw and Gryphon's talon, the face an goat-like dragon barring the horns of a deer and ram, finally an red snake's tail it's yellow and red eyes stared at me predatory if as it was too studying my alabaster furred body. I found myself unable to look away from those wild yellow eyes to my surprise it cocks it's head questioningly like it didn't recognize my being an Alicorn. ''What.... the fuck..... are...... yew?'' my jaw drop at the sound of his voice I couldn't place his accent but something deep within me was screaming for daddy the longer I stare it him. I notice that he was standing weakly his legs unable to support his weight before he pass out unconscious, the world around me slowed as my eyes stayed on the creature ''Just what in mother's name are you?'' I whispered in a small voice not daring to speak louder. What seemed like hours passed as I stared at the unconscious creature, I was sure that somepony was calling me but at the moment the only thing that matter to me was the creature I had read countless books and scrolls describing the many races that dwell in this world and the next yet not one had mention any sort of being such as this mismatch creature. Impossible the royal archives had everything an pony needed to know about the other species everything from their history to their current culture every single last thing about them is recorded and documented but somehow this creature was overlooked for some reason or another again it's impossible for such a thing to happen if it did Father would have the royal archivist's hind, the vast archives is one of the few things Father fondly speaks of when we have visiting emissaries at the castle, father loves to speak with them about their kingdoms in their languages and customs. I doubt even father knows what this creature is, my ears pick up on the sound of hooves crunching the snow and the jiggles of armor. ''The royal guards must of heard your scream'' my mind said to me. ''Your highness are you alright? we heard your scream.'' said a guard from behind me. ''Guard'' I said in a commanding tone ''Get my Father he needs to see this now'' ''Yes your highness your will shall be done.'' said the guard before galloping away to do as I ordered. I only hope that father could shed some light on this creature if not then I would work to discover it's secrets. Calling upon my magic I moved the creature from the thick pile of snow to my side the sun's light shining on it's face gave it an enchanted glow, at the sight an strange and unfounded thought enters my mind ''You know he isn't that bad looking yes he is a little rough to look at but he isn't too bad.'' I think I'm going to be sick if father doesn't hurry up.
A New World, A New Transformation ( the original)In the orbit of Primal Earth Unnamed PoV Tired… I feel so tired, I can barely keep my optics open. The only thing I can feel is my being tired, but I have to stay awake. Optimus could call for reinforcements at any moment. As my optics start to shut down, I can see the others aimlessly drifting in their own stasis pods, their face plates frozen with sleep. It had been cycles since Optimus left us here in Earth's orbit, claiming it would keep us safe, to keep them safe. Yet... I do not understand why he left me here with them. I am not like them. They are civilians, while I am one of the last remaining bots from the warrior caste. Perhaps he deemed it wise to keep me here with them than at his side; it does make sense. If I wasn't up here, then who would protect them if the Predacons managed to capture them? Only Primus knows what would have happened to them. My systems are beginning a forced shutdown against my will, and it is growing increasingly difficult to keep myself online. My fading vision erupts with light as a golden white comet lights up the inky blackness of space, warming my cold, metal body, yet draining me of my fleeting strength. My optics growing heavier by the nanosecond, the last thing I see is the comet arching over the Earth with a tail made up of unknown energy. The groaning sound of my pod being pulled was echoing in the small space. Even with my optics down, I can still see that unknown energy enveloping the pod, its light shining brightly like a star. Soon, this star was followed by nineteen others. Something was happening, but what exactly, I do not know. I am so tired… This time I know only blackness. The Planet Equus, Hall of Legends Arceus's PoV With a sigh, I pinch my brow as I stare at my ancient enemy. One that not even I could ever hope to stand against, one so endless that even the bravest of my children would run from it. Paperwork. Oh how I hate paperwork. If it didn't serve the purpose of keeping things running somewhat smoothly, I would have smitten the accursed idea a long time ago. Part of me rudely reminds me of the piles of vile papers I set upon Celestia like a tide of war when I brought my children to her world. I felt sorry for leaving her with all those piles, yet if I had the choice of doing things different, I would not change anything despite this paperwork. It was worth each sheet of evil to save my Pokemon from our old world. Slowly, one-by-one, I carefully read each one, but my mind and heart are not in it. They are actively regaling me with the visions of a beautiful alabaster Alicorn with a pale rainbow mane. ''Celestia'' my mind whispers sweetly. A “smile” touches my face as my thoughts are consumed by the pony princess. Dreaming dreams I never dared before. The images brought a warmth into my being, a warmth that was only reserved for my children yet somehow different. ''Perhaps I should visit her in Canterlot. Surely she wouldn't mind having me over too much?'' I mumble to myself. ''But first I should finish these papers. I have been putting it off for far too long.'' With a renewed vigor, I quickly dot my i's and cross my t's, mowing down trade agreements, marking arrangements for meetings with key emissaries from other nations, and other notions that came with being a ruler. By the time I almost finished the last bit of paperwork, my door slammed open, revealing a ragged Palkia. The space dragon has seen better days; his body is covered in sweat and the jewel on his arm has a crack in it. ''Palkia,'' I said with worry for the dragon pokemon, the unfinished paperwork long forgotten. ''What happened?'' ''Father, we have a problem.'' said my son before going into detail. With each word that left his mouth, my expression grew bleaker… Twilight’s PoV After giving up on trying to get to sleep, I now restlessly lay in my bed. All too much had happened over these past few weeks: the arrival of the Pokemon, us befriending a number of the strange new neighbors, to the meeting of Equus leaders, and the studying their many abilities... I guess all of it just started to get to me. It wasn’t any use, so I kick my blankets off. My exposed fur bristles at the touch of the cool night air. Leaving my nice warm bed, I trot to my window and stare at the peaceful night sky, and I smile at the silver light of the moon. It seems Luna is in a good mood tonight. Of course she would be. One good thing that came from the Pokemon move was that Luna had finally gotten what she always wanted: somepony to watch her beloved nights, in the form of the nocturnal Pokemon. But there is another reason for her good mood if what Celestia told me was true. Luna had been getting quite “friendly” with one of Lord Arceus's Legendaries. Even despite all these new changes, I still can recall the socially inept moon princess that almost everypony was afraid of till that one Nightmare Night when I helped her make her first friends. Now she has grown in her endeavors of connecting with others, going as far as befriending the moon Legendaries Darkrai and Cresselia… ''What are they like?" I found myself asking. "Are they anything like the other Legendaries? I don't recall ever seeing them. Perhaps they are majorly nocturnal like Luna, that would explain why, but still I should have at least seen them at some point. Maybe Luna wouldn't mind introducing us, after all we are her friends." My eyes glance at passing night Pokemon like Zubats, Hoothoots, and other kinds I couldn't name at the moment going about their nightly lives. A stray thought enters my mind. ''What would it be like to be with a special somepony?" The question catches me by surprise, unsure of why I thought of such a question or what had brought it up in the first place. Then the vision of Rarity and the Pokemon Keldeo with wrapped tails cruelly dances in my mind. The two have grown close to one of another. It is rare to see them without each other. There had been times when all Rarity wanted to talk about was Keldeo… and a ping of jealousy hit my heart… Am I jealous of Rarity? No, surely not, I am her friend. What have I to be jealous of…? "Besides Rarity being the most desired mare in all of Ponyville, a successful business pony, passionate with her work and she has a handsome coltfriend? So no, you don't have nothing to be jealous of.'' my mind states smugly. I sadly sigh at the words. My mind had been right, I have so much to be jealous about. Unlike Rarity, I was plain. Even with wings, I could never be as gorgeous as she. I was given everything I wanted while she earned what she has with her own hooves. Though I am equally as passionate as her, stallions care more for a mare's looks than her brains. Despairingly, I look to the stars, hoping to find solace in their guiding light. My eyes instantly glue themselves to the brightest of the stars. There, I decide to make a foalish, yet hopeful wish, ''Star that shines so bright, let me have this wish tonight. I ask by Luna's silvery light for an stallion brave and truth to come into my life. A stallion to love me for me… I make this solemn request for I find myself wanting for the love of another.'' Suddenly, the very star I wished upon began to glow a golden white as if answering my pleaful wish. Its light grew brighter and brighter till it formed a giant ball of golden flames on course with the Everfree… ''What!?'' I shout in shock and surprise that the star I wished upon wasn't a star at all, but a great meteor! I watch in horror as the flaming, gold meteor arcs high in the sky far above Canterlot.It suddenly burst into twenty individual pieces, each in various sizes, scattering in all directions like a thunder of wild dragons raiding a diamond dog mine. While nineteen of them head in other directions, one stayed on course with the Pokemon-filled forest, gliding on the air like an graceful dancer until its crash and disappearance into the woodlands. I let out the breath I hadn't known I was holding, my hooves feeling weak as I slide down from the window with my back to the outside world. ''How close were we from getting hit by that meteor? Inches, centimeters? If it hadn’t burst apart or did so a little lower, Ponyville and Canterlot would be wiped from the map. But still ponies and pokemon have meet their ends tonight.'' Wrapping my hooves around myself to keep from shaking, a thought enters my mind. ''I need to send a letter to Celestia at once, she needs to know where the bit of meteor landed.''
The king of beasts (adopted )Camcorder startup...standard time 6:39 friday the 12th time running 0:00:000 It's the year 7014 X Terra my home-world is fucked...that's the nice way of saying it I for one don't really give a crap, I only fight to fight. This war is, and has been, going on for about 1000 years...after today that won't matter .The two groups fighting are; The link joker, some high tech set of people who claim to be doing their masters work and then there is the God eaters, my people are a way more advanced set of people with powers from our souls themselves. We don't know why they attacked, the only thing we know is, is that when I was born they sealed one of our ten beasts inside of me, that being the she bitch inside my head Gliger the lioness, Oh and I’m fourteen says my captain. I'm not a bitch it's just you don't like it when I'm right. "Oh shut up so I can finish." I yelled choking the life out of one of those Link joker dragon grunts, waiting for him to stop moving... Maybe it's best we leave it at that knowing that we're still on Terra. " *sighs* Fine but it's my call on the armor!" I said picking up my standard battle armor with two shoulder covers, a helmet with four side burners and my mother’s scarf. "Shit I forgot my gun...Oh well more for me to tear up with my hands~." I sang putting on the last of the legging armor then I put on my mother’s scarf; that scarf has seen better days from that nice shade of black to a brown ragged cloth. "Hey Bazz you done yet? cap says we need to move out soon." Oh yea there are nine other beast holders that I know of, all gender balanced and strength tested. The girl that was just calling me was my friend's older sister, Hina short for Hinatos,she has the seventh beast named Cray the turtle...sounds funny now but wai- PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW "Shit they're here already!" I jump for the door but it won't move... fucking door, so I try kicking it down...that failed, so I use my black wheel saw and the structural energy I get from Gliger; removing anything in my path. I step out to see more of those foot soldiers in their easy-to-find armor sets, all white armor sets…"Ok it's too noisy, so I'm going to say this once...SHUT THE HELL UP!!" getting everyone to stop shooting and look at me "Good now I want- PEW" ok that guy fucked up. I grab the link joker faster then anyone can see bringing my other hand up to rip his tonsils and other stuff out...Thank you Gliger... What? it's not me, you're the one who likes hand-to-hand combat and killing, I'm here because of the war. Still, now we got fifteen or so jokers on our asses and only six of us, "Seems fair. Hey Hina, get ready I'm sending everyone out to freedom tower." I yelled over the gun fire, throwing some dark pulses. "WHAT?! You can't get us there without a burn panel!" I still wonder why she can't figure out that it's only a few blocks from here *sign snap* "Warn us before you do that Bazz. You know we got the rookies with us." This guy right here is Karu, beast holder number four, Talos the bull, don't get him mad, his armor and weapons resemble a bull, weird how he uses an axe, and nothing else, but what can you do... click click “I'm out! Bazz give me your case!" Hina orders popping out an empty fifty caliber magic propelled sniper rifle clip. She scared me one time when she nearly blew my head off *shudder* "...You must have forgotten my NO guns thing." Oh yea before I forget Hina's armor is like mine but without the arm blades and scarf. "Here let me." Pushing my hand forward, I shot a black void ball; and took out what seemed to be a team of twenty foot soldiers heading our way. "There was that so bad why don-." I said before I feel something grab me. "BAZZ!!" Hino yelled running to me as a shadow forms behind me. BEHIND US! "Fuck me..." I said as I lost my vision THUD camcorder date unknown time unknown "Ow." Well I got up from worse hangovers. Oh good you're up. Now don't get mad, but we seem to be off planet "... Gliger why can't I move..." I don't know what's going on because my vision is still blurry but I can see some dark colored creature laying next to me. I know what you're thinking, and no we did not hit that. "Ok, one; Thank god, two; any idea what IT is?" I asked getting a moan and a small yawn. "I'm not an IT, I'm a mare, and a royal one at that, and I hoped you would have some manners." Ok now I'm confused, where the fuck am I? Hey she's leaving, think you can move now? "Don't know until I try but-" I stopped myself when I see the...pegasus...unicorn, umm well...I have no idea what I’m looking at, it seems to be a pegasus and unicorn hybrid, and she has a almost transparent mane and a moon on her ass. "Well now that you're up, come along we have much to do.~" she turned and headed towards a door with me floating around her eye level. "Ok I'm done!" I yelled flaring my hands with energy breaking her hold. I warp away only to find myself in a forest, a huge amount a forest at that. We need to move, I can feel her tailing us, Head east . 'Shit, ok, east it is, but whats east?’ I thought, getting up and running as fast as mach two tanks, my beast training, but still. 'Hey, Gliger any idea where we are? because aren't all the trees on terra either dead or taken by the king for safety?' No, but it's nice to see them, Hey look ahead I think I see something. 'Let's hope it's a friendly!' After about ten minutes I came across an open plane. Nothing but grass and some weeds. "I was wondering when you would get here, foal." the dark mare from earlier said, "Now what is your name?" that face is going to leave me with a nightmare. "Fuck you!" I said running back into the forest 'Gliger is she tailing us?' You might want to run faster... 'Why?' I looked back to see her flying through the thick tree tops. "Leave me alone!" I flare my energy and send some saws her way, only to find that she set up a form of barrier, however, their still leaving some cuts in the barrier. "We can play hide and seek all you want, you still won't escape!" *eye twitch* I stopped and looked at her before I let Gliger change my armor, this time I have a lion head helmet with black and gold coloring, my arm bracers change; showing off a set of two claws, my feet look more beast than before with a full set of claws and armor, the only thing odd is I now have a tail. 'Gliger, why is there a tail?' You will see later but now, LETS GET THAT BITCH! I love it when Gliger thinks like I do, I jump up, grabbing the mare and her barrier, and I start pounding on the shield trying to get in. "That won't work fo- *shatter* Her face goes from confidence, to scared in less than five seconds. After hitting the ground I grab her horn and neck and pulled her closer so that her ear was inches away from my mouth. I love the look she had on, it was priceless, so very scared, I thought she was going to cry, But I digress, we needed info so I did what I do best...Interrogations "I told you to leave me alone, but since you won't, you're going to give me some answers, got it?" I growled through the mouth guard, getting a nod in response. "Good; now where the hell am I?" "Y-y-you're in Equestria, but near the everfree forest." Ok now I think I heard sniffling. "W-w-what a-are you?" "..." 'Shit, even I don't know, any idea Gliger?' How about God Eater, since our people are god eaters. "I'm a God Eater from Terra, Now, who, and what, are you?" "I am Nightmare Moon, princess of the night, and I’m a alicorn." she said with a little kick and pride. I tighten my grip on her neck and moved her so we are at eye level with each other. "Why am I here?" I said in the darkest way possibly "....." she tries to look away but can't, so she closes her eyes and cries. "TELL ME; OR I'LL RIP YOUR HORN OFF AND SHOVE IT THROUGH YOUR NECK!!" As my grip tightened her crying got worse. Why is she crying like that, it's not like I did anything. Fuck it. she looks like my-I'm not going there again. She's gone and it's too late to do anything about it. 'Gliger what do you think I should do with her?' If it was me, I would put her down, but something tells me we might need her. 'Ok, but if shit hits the fan its on your head got it?' I dropped Nightmare, and started to walk away until I hear her say something that I couldn't hear quite right but it sounded like she said- "I'm lonely." She said through her tears, I look at Nightmare, before walking back this time shes trying to move away from me, a look of terror across her face, crying and yelling for me to stay back. I stop reverting my armor back and give her a hand getting her up. After a few moments of hitting me she calmed down and wiped a tear from her beautiful blue- *eye twitch* did I just think that...fuck I’m going to hurt myself for that later. About fifteen minutes pass before we said anything,So I broke the silence "Who or what brought me here, and is there a way for me to get back?" "I'm the one who summoned you and I'm not sure if there is a way for you to go home." *Eye twitch* “Ok, I'm going need to know everything about this equestria before I do anything for anyone...Please don't make me regret keeping you alive." I say bluntly as possible. 'Man those eye look like dragons. Gliger do you think it would be a drag to just find out some other way?' Well I don't really know...This one is your call. 'You're messing with me again aren't you?' with a sigh, I follow Nightmare back to her place. Yes I am. *giggle* A few hours pass with me and Nightmare Moon talking and getting information from each other. We both know that no one wasn't holding anything back, but still I can't shake this feeling... "So what does the spell do exactly, and is there a village or town I can go to?" I asked looking up at the stars. Man in all my life I never got to see them mainly because every time I tried something pops up and starts attacking. "The spell calsl forth a beast of unlimited potential and makes it serve the caster, but it seems that part didn't work." She looked at me and the stars going from one to the other then she got the happiest smile I ever saw. "So it seems you like the night sky." "Yea I guess it makes me feel better, the cool breeze, the quiet sounds and the moon, man if the war was over, I would just stay still looking at the stars and moon forever." D-did I just say that oh god I need to get home. "Hey Nighty what about towns, anything here besides us?" "Yes there’s a small village near here, but I don't think you should go."She look worried so I put her mind at ease with a little phrase. "Don't be afraid, Nothing you could do could stop me, what's the worse that could happen!" I said with a smile and warped in the direction she said. Seriously what could go wrong? "SSSSHHHHIIIIITTTTT!!!!"I yelled flying into a few houses because of a purple pony, ( I think is Twilight Sparkle if what Nightmare told me is right,) who hit me with some technicolor rainbow, lucky for me when I was hit I was only sent flying, and not turned to stone or banished like Nightmare said, or that would have really messed me up. "OW! That fucking hurt, you bitch!" That got the blue colored one with the rainbow mane,(that one is no doubt rainbow dash,) to rush at me while I was still getting up. "Really that’s it? nothing else?" I raised my hand; sending some energy at them hitting them on mark, sending them all into a pile. "What are you?" asked Twilight , frightened. With the most badass smile I could muster, I said "The name is Bazz and I'm a God eater!" They looked up and then back to me and smiled. "What is i-BAM*THUD*" Bazz...Bazz wake up...BAZZ! 'What is it...Gliger? why can't move? I can’t see anything.' I thought, squirming around only to have my restraints tighten. "Ok, we want to know who, and what, you are." A voice demanded. Must be some kind of ruler. best make this fast, I flare my energy and break their hold, removing the blindfold they put on me. "You first, then if I'm in a good mood I'll tell you." I love to mess with people. "I am Princess Celestia and I am a co-ruler of-" I raise my hand looking at her, mainly because I wanted a good look. She's an alicorn like Nighty but white with a pink, blue, and green mane, and sun cutie mark. "Ok, nevermind, what is it you wanted to know?" Sitting there I notice that we are in some kind of Interrogation room, with some guards and six ponies, If I remember right then the two earth ponies are pinkie pie and Applejack, The next two pegasi are Fluttershy and Rainbow dash Then a Single unicorn that I think is Rarity...Odd nightmare told me there was two well the last one is an alicorn as well.Fuck.
Changeling or Not (adopted)"I, Bright Justice do solemnly swear that I will faithfully pledge my allegiance to Celestia and the land of Equestria, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the laws and citizens of Equestria." Today was a very important day for a this young Pegasus, today was the day he would graduate from the royal guard academy and be inducted into the official royal guard of Equestria. He stood on a wooden stand in the middle of Canterlot town square, he stood in front of his commanding officer, Dusky Trails; Sergeant Major of the Royal Guard of Canterlot, which was the second highest in the Equestrian royal guard; since the highest was Commanding General of Royal Guard, or CGRG for short. Bright gave him a quick salute before accepting his title of Pvt. Justice. After him was Bright's very good friend, Cloudy Steel. A Pegasus like himself, but the only difference was Cloudy was more scrawny. Cloudy tended to be a coward at times, and wore glasses. While Bright was more muscular and taller than Cloudy was. Cloudy graduated for always getting perfect scores on the tests, his agility, and his speed. While Bright graduated because of his combat skills, strength, and agility. But he never did too well on tests, he passed them; but he never got a perfect score like Cloudy did. But either way, they made it and they planned on staying in the guard for a long time. They became so confident for their time being there, they even made a bet. Who ever got to Sgt or higher, the loser would have to pay 100 bits. When they started, Bright and Cloudy were given the position they called "Door Duty" where they stood in front of the throne rooms doors for hours on end until their shifts ended there. Then they would be moved to street walking; where they would walk the streets of Canterlot. Bright enjoyed this time because he was able to interact with the community of Canterlot, he was always a good stallion. He never did anything to hurt or offend anypony, he would help old mares with bags, help lost children or even play along with them if no other guard was around. But every time Cloudy caught him, he would always remind Bright that playing hoofball with the kids isn't getting him closer to being Sargent. All in all, Bright was a good stallion. But he took his guard duty seriously when it came to criminals, whenever somepony broke the law and Bright was the one to bring them in, Bright would make sure that the pony who committed the crime got what he or she deserved. But, his final position was his least favorite and he had Cloudy to agree with him. His last shift was keeping watch over ponies in the death row cells. It sickened him knowing that the ponies in these cells murdered, raped, or did any other despicable thing to get where they are now. It would nearly make him gag every time he heard another guard come in yelling, "Dead pony walking" over and over again before getting the criminal to its cell. That was another thing, Bright never called any of the ponies in death row living beings or him or her. It was always it or thing. He had little to no respect for the scum that filled that cell corridor. But the worst of it all was when an execution would be held. The agonizing screams and shouts from those things could be heard from all the way to Apple Loosa and The Badlands. There were two ways a pony on death row died, either by hanging or electric chair with the electric chair being the most common. But one death wasn't spoken of, it was never used since 1881, when a stallion nicknamed 'Crazy Horse' was executed. He raped 13 young fillies in both Las Pegasus and Ponyville, murdered 20 ponies in Manehatten, Las Pegasus, Ponyville, and Apple Loosa, and burned down half of Apple Loosa. It was called death by torture. For it to work, a unicorn of the royal guard had to use the magic of torture. But the unicorn who was the one to commit such an act had to be CGRG or higher in the royal guard ranks. It was banned by the Equestrian empire because it was voted too violent and was very unlike the peaceful ways of the Equestrian government and law. But at the end of the day, Bright considers all the events he encounters all worth it when it comes to the safety of the innocent and sadly oblivious community of Canterlot and Equestria. Yes, both Bright and Cloudy believed that the community of Canterlot if not Equestria were oblivious to the more darker world that's been hidden from them for so long. The poverty and slavery in Indoneighsia, the prostitution of Manehatten and Las Pegasus, and other starving countries such as the Zebra Republic. Canterlot was like a gem in Equestria, wanting to keep it safe and hidden from danger as much as possible. It was Bright and Cloudy's job to keep that safety in check and to make sure that nothing like the Changeling attacks ever happen again. But this duty they had, and their oath to their ruler Princess Celestia, would be challenged and broken. But would it be for the best? ~***~ Bright arrived to the locker rooms where the guards left their armor and took showers at the end of their shifts. There was a small break room at the end of the large room where some of the guards lazed and relaxed until an alert happened or if they had to change to their other shifts. Bright grabbed his armor, buckled and latched the belts under his stomach and waist. He carried the helmet with his left wing to the break room. Nopony else was there, except for Smoke Bomb; another private like Bright. Bright always hated Smoke, he was arrogant, he would always boast about how is great grandfather was considered a war hero for saving a general from being shot with an arrow in the Batpony and Equestrian war, where the Batponies were at war with the Equestrian army for independence and more land. Sadly that war was one of the very small amount of lost wars for the Equestrian empire. But Smoke seemed to forget that part of the story. Smoke didn't pay Bright no mind, but instead read his newspaper. Bright sat in a chair from across the room, with nothing to do he just sat there occasionally fiddling with a feather from his wings. He sat like this until Smoke began to speak. "Hey newbie, decided to come into work today huh? Got nothing else to do with your life right?" He said still keeping his eyes focused to the paper. "Shut up Smoke! You're as new here as I am!" Bright argued in defense. "Oh yeah? At least military defense runs in my family! Unlike your pansy cloud kicking ancestors." Smoke was one of the main reasons why Bright disliked most unicorns. "Just because your grandfather saved a general in the war doesn't mean you're any better at combat than I am!" "What ever chatte!"" Smoke went back to reading his paper but mumbled "Je vous jure, un jour vous allez brûler" Bright glared at Smoke, but didn't say anything. He didn't see the point of starting another argument with Smoke. Besides, what could he do? Smoke's father is CGRG of the Crystal empire, if Bright pushed Smoke too far it would be all over for Bright. He would be out of the job and so much worse. Luckily Smoke has been told that he only has one more year in Canterlot before he's moved to the Crystal Empire's guard patrol, then he'll be their problem. Bright and Smoke lazed around some more until SgtMaj. Dusky rushed to the small room with a determined face but was still hinted with fear. Both Bright and Smoke quickly stood up and saluted to their leader. "At ease. We have a sighting of changelings on the edge of the everfree forest. We must go and apprehend them and bring them back here! Understand?" Smoke and Bright saluted once more and quickly followed Dusky out of the locker rooms and quickly flew towards the everfree. ~***~ It didn't take long for Bright, Smoke, and Dusky to get to the everfree, being skilled flyers they were able to fly to the everfree in 1 or two hours to the most. Since it was a changeling situation, they had to get there quickly; ever since the wedding attacks from the changelings they've been outlawed in Equestria and the Crystal Empire. The only two places they could refuge or visit are the smokey mountains to the in the north; land of the dragons and the second land is near the dark woods in the south; which belonged to the Batponies who are still strong allies of the Changelings. "Okay, Pvt. Bright, I want you to patrol the left side of the forest, Pvt. Bomb, I need you to flank right. I'll go straight down and look for the changelings. Report back here in 20 minutes." Dusky said in a low and serious tone. "Yes sir!" Both Bright and Smoke said simultaneously while saluting. Bright went his way and made sure to keep and eye out for changeling whereabouts. Ever since the wedding attack all guards are trained to detect changelings even if they are in disguise. It was easier to detect a changeling in a unicorn disguise since all changeling magic has green aura, they also have a tint of blue in the white of the eyes; but the blue is in the very deep corners of the eyes so it takes a guard to stretch the eye so that the corner of the eye is visible. Bright kept walking but didn't find a changeling, an animal, just plants and nature. So he took this opportunity to take a peaceful stroll. ~***~ Smoke slowly went down his rout keeping a sharp eye out for the changeling. "Where are you, you buggy bastards!" Smoke said to himself getting his spear ready for combat. "C'mon, you think I'm scared? Think you could mess with me?" He kept asking himself, he kept walking for a little longer before hearing small rustling from a near by shrub. The noise alone startled Smoke, he flailed his arms in the air and screamed like a scared filly at a new school. He quickly rushed out of the area, leaving the rustling to be a simple rat. Smoke kept running still flailing his arms and screaming before tripping over a large lump of something. He trembled on the ground when he saw what that lump was. It was a bruised, cut up changeling with pink wings instead of blue. Smoke thought that this had to be a female changeling, but how? Female changelings never left camps or villages, especially by themselves. So why would this one be out near the forest? But the bigger question was, is there more? Smoke could hear Dusky and Bright calling out his name, he could also hear hooves rushing towards him, he quickly glanced back at the injured changeling who was still moaning in pain. This image gave him an idea. An idea that would establish his bravery and get him up higher in the ranks. He slowly got up with his spear in his hooves, pointed the small blade to the changeling's neck and slowly began to put pressure on the neck. Right when blood began to appear Smoke heard his name again, this time right behind him. "Pvt. Smoke! Cease your attack!" Smoke turned around to see Dusky and Bright with surprised yet stern faces. "Oh thank Celestia you two came, uh this changeling scum tried to jump me, but I was able to subdue her with my spear and combat skills, Sir!" Smoke exclaimed to Dusky, his lies were believable enough for Dusky to fall for it. But Bright wasn't convinced, he knew that Smoke wasn't the best during combat tests in the academy, he also knew that Smoke was a conniving liar who got his way with every lie that fell out his mouth. "Good work Pvt! Are you injured?" Dusky asked getting closer to the changeling on the ground. "Well, other than this scrape on my leg, I'm fine." Smoke replied, Bright looked at Smoke's scar and knew that the scar he had came from tripping and falling on your hooves. Playground scars he would call them; since when Bright was young he kept tripping and falling at every playground he would go to. "Yeah, good job Smoke." Bright said sarcastically. "I'm sorry Bright, I didn't know that were a jealous one. Tell ya what, when I get a medal for bravery I'll let you shine it! While your serving me tea on a silver platter and kissing my hooves." Smoke replied with a sly grin stuck on his face. "Shut up you pansy I know you didn't take down that changeling! Maybe it was already injured!" Bright exclaimed. "Both of you shut up!" Dusky shouted still cuffing the changeling's hooves. "Yes sir!" They both said in response. "Now, let's report this... Thing to Celestia." This confused Bright and Smoke, whenever a changeling was found they would go directly to the death cells. They would never be reported to Celestia. Then again their last changeling that the guard files have was about two years ago; a month after the wedding attack. Dusky lifted the injured changeling on his back and they all began to fly back to Canterlot. Dusky was slower however since he was trying to keep balance of the changeling on his back while still flying straightly. Smoke took front position while Bright got behind Dusky, getting a view of the changeling's face. It slowly opened its eyes in pain and sadness. For some reason, this look gave Bright the idea that maybe this changeling was innocent. But that was impossible! 25% of his academy lessons were about changelings and how to detect them. And the academy didn't give them much of a good name or a representation. They were described as disgusting flying bugs that needed to be exterminated. But this changeling was more, pure. 'This changeling' Bright thought, 'this changeling is innocent.' He flew closer to Dusky but was still behind him. "Uh, Sir? I've been thinking that maybe Smoke didn't apprehend this changeling, maybe this changeling was injured in the first place." "Okay and?" Dusky replied. "Well, I think that this changeling is most likely innocent and has done nothing wrong." Dusky slowed down some more and whispered. "Do you think I don't believe that too? I'm just believing Smoke for now because he has close tie-ins with the princess and she's my only way for becoming CGRG." "So you're gonna throw an innocent pony on death row because of rank status?" Bright asked. "Well that's another thing Pvt. It's new protocol that whenever a royal guard of any rank sees or spots a changeling, they must apprehend and turn in that said changeling. Celestia said it herself that changelings were like a-" "Bug that needed to be exterminated I know, they kept telling me that in the academy. But I honestly think that this changeling did nothing wrong in the first place." "Well Pvt. I'm sorry to say that you can't just walk away from this like you did with most missions back in the academy. Your last chance to walk home to mama was the day you signed your name on the royal guard sign up sheet." Bright and Dusky stayed silent for the rest of the flight. Every so often, the changeling would look at Bright with eyes asking 'why? Why would you let them do this? Help me please!' It pained Bright every time. So he would always look away.
