Chapter 7 Prophecy Fulfilled

While Spike was travelling to East Dragonside village, surviving his own tribulation, and Ember was learning about her families past, with Spikes father.

The Alicorn Alliance, had been defending the Dragonside Village from the onslaught that had been relentlessly pushing against the villages walls, for the passed month.

“FORTIFY THE WALLS!” Ordered an alicorn with a white pelt, mauve eyes, wearing gold armour, with a sun engraved on the chest piece, with a silver and gold linear ethereal mane, casually blowing in the wind.

“AYE PYRON!” A soldier confirmed in obedience.

As the soldiers did as they were told, a young filly ran up with her sister in toe, approaching Pyron with a gleeful smile upon her maw.

“Daddy, Daddy.” The first filly said excitedly. Her eyes were mauve, she had a white pelt with a small horn and little wings filled with youthful vigour, that fluttered slightly as she ran. Her mane and tail were coloured with pink, sky blue, turquoise, and light blue streaks, with little sparkles giving her mane and tail an ethereal quality.

Her sister who had been following closely, had a pelt of midnight blue, with light blue eyes and a royal blue mane and tail, with small sparkles in it.

“Celestia, tis dangerous here! What did I tell thee about coming to the front line.” Pyron chastised gently, with a protective fatherly tone.

“I know but I wanted to showith thee a new spell mummy taught thy.” a young Celestia replied innocently, drawing circles with her fore hoof in the dirt.

“Okay my little Tia thee can showith me. but after that I want thee and thy sister to stay with mummy. Okay?” Pyron replied concernedly, looking side to side for any danger.

“Ok daddy.” after Celestia and Luna replied in unison, Celestia began to concentrate really hard until her little horn began to glow, and then suddenly she teleported behind her father. Her father had an expression of pride, as he witnessed his eldest daughter intentionally teleport for the first time, not accidentally when she would sneeze.

“Well done little one, I'm so proud of thee. Lulu did thee wantith to showith thy something too?” Pyron asked lovingly.

“Nay father Thy just wanted to see thee.” Luna said, giving her father a warm hug.

As their mother arrived to collect the two fillies, he gingerly kissed his daughters on the forehead, then embraced all three, before kissing their mother passionately as she left.

Luna and Celestias' mother had light blue eyes, a midnight blue coat, with a dark blue mane and tail, that would shine ever so lightly, giving it a mystical glow, and her cutie mark had been shaped like a cluster of stars.

“Goodbye Nova.” Pyron said as he waved lovingly at his wife, who returned his gesture in kind, as she left, with the two excitable fillies.

After his Special somepony left with his daughters, he could feel a longing in his heart to be able to come back to the castle, and have tea with his daughters and wife, he loved so very much. like he use to do, before the war broke out, and he was called to arms.

He knew that everyday that he was out in this god forsaken front line, could be his last. It pained him when he thought of never returning to see his family again, all he could do was shed tears as he thought of the unthinkable. He wanted this war to be over, he wanted things to go back to normal again.

Pyron was shaken from his thoughts, as a sentry declared that the enemy was attacking again. Pyron looked at the sentry stationed upon the wall, and watched an arrow pierce the sentries side. He fell from the parapets, landing with a grotesque splattering sound.

“BATTLE STATIONS, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!” Pyron ordered his soldiers; soon the field became a blur of movement. However it was only moments before it ceased, and the soldiers formed their ranks.

An eerie silence followed for mere seconds before the field erupted into chaos. Sword clashed against sword, buckler shattered against axe, the sound of magic shot through the air, the whistling of arrows began to resound, and the howls of agony resonated throughout the field.

Pyron Charged into the fray with his soldiers, his great sword drawn. He entered the fray surrounded by hundreds of fiends; he stabbed his sword into the ground, creating a wave of fire, setting alight numerous enemies, turning them to ash, he drew his sword out of the ground and swung it to the left cutting three fiends in half. He charged his horn and blasted a hole through seven fiends with one shot.

A piercing roar echoed throughout the field. Pyron looked to the sky, bloodied from the blood of his enemies, to see a darkening cloud approaching,.

“BALLISTAS!” Pyron shouted, using his royal Canterlot voice. Soon the sound of taught string began to thrum, and large missiles howled through the air, taking out dragon after dragon. The sky began to look like a light show, as magic shattered the evening sky. The blood of dragon and alicorn began to fall, adding to the darkening scene.

“Nova, raise the shield.” Pyron telepathically told his wife. The sky around Dragonside Village started to turn navy, and soon all that could be seen was a giant navy blue bubble surrounding the village.

The dragons started to claw and breathe fire, archers started pelting it with arrows, in an attempt to break the shield, but they failed, for the shield had been to powerful.

Spike blocked another vicious blow from the hooded figure, while Silver Fang fought four fiends at once.

Silver fang slashed two fiends in half with a wide swinging motion, before continuing to turn a further 180º cutting another two fiends in half, killing all four.

The hooded figure charged at Spike once again, with awe inspiring speed. Spike matched his speed and dodged the sword strike, before retaliating with one of his own strikes, causing the figure the
stumble slightly.

While the figure was recovering, Spike made another attack cleaving downwards. The human reacted fast enough to block the blade, blue sparks flew into the air, as the human fell to his knees, from the formidable force of Spikes' blow.

The hooded figure slid his blade from Spikes', causing Spike to take a step back, and as the hooded figure rose to his feet, Spike had already slashed at him once more.

As the hooded figure blocked another strike from Spike, he knew he was losing this battle, he had to do something quickly. Spike slashed at him again this time with more ferocity.

He blocked another strike from Spike, as he did, he used all his strength to push his blade against Spikes' blade.

Spike stumbled as he tried to recover, but before he could recover the human kicked Spike in the chest.

Spike stumbled again, this time nearly falling over.

The hooded figure saw his moment to strike.

He pointed a raised hand at Spike, and announced “Razeal!” and all the sudden a shock wave hit Spike, delivering a crumbling blow

Spike fell to the ground, his sword was sent flying through air, before landing with a clang some distance away. Before Spike could could recover, the hooded figure was upon him, his blade pointed at Spikes throat

“This is the end for you Reptile!” The hooded figure declared “Your kind are weak and fragile, you will be crushed by my master!”

After the hooded figure finished speaking, he began to raise his sword in preparation to stab Spike.

Spike looked at the scene unfold, he felt like the dream he had was about to be fulfilled. He began to think about Ember and how he would never see her again, nor would he see his friends, his home in Ponyville, or feel the spring breeze whipping his face in the springtime, he would never hear the birds singing their tune again. Darkness started to engulf his mind, Spikes eyes started to tear up, as he watched time slow down.
