A second chance

Sorry for the weird formatting I'm playing around with the settings to see what I like. Hopefully all will turn out right. My thanks goes to ToaOfTech for editing the story and helping me fix my grammar.

Chapter 1. Second chances

Darkness, darkness everywhere I looked, no matter which way I turned my head. I shivered as I felt a sudden chill coming from nowhere yet everywhere. I exhaled and saw my breath, looking at what I hoped was the ground.  Soon I could hear the sounds of someone or something getting close. Hooves clopping against a hard surface echoed around me as what looked like a pale horse or pony with wings and a horn stood in front of me, shaking his head. It looked me dead in the eyes and I shivered once more as I stared back into its dead hallow eye sockets.

It then spoke in a deep voice that made the hairs on my back stand up:

“It seems we meet once again Lein, but unlike last time you will not be returning back to your world, no my dear boy. This time your soul belongs to me; your days as a god are over.”

I tried to stand up but I felt nothing. None of my limbs would move. I tried again but with the same results. I grunted as I would begin to growl

“Samuel J. Thanatos what in the name of the gods happened to you, you look ridiculous.”

He chuckled as he got close to me, placing his muzzle right next to my left ear and whispered

“The same thing which is about to happen to you, I will give you three days to run in that time I will come for you.”

He then backed up as his horn began to glow and his wings flared out. He let out a blinding flash of light, forcing me to close my eyes.

As the light would die down Samuel would look at the spot where Lein once was. He shook his head,

“I am truly sorry it has to come to this my friend, but it is time to move on and forget your petty quest for revenge. It has been over three hundred years since she has died. Enough blood has been shed, it’s time you remember who you really are.”

He then turned around and began to walk back into the darkness. After a few steps, the void shimmered and was replaced with the interior of a throne room. Two Alicorns would be seated on thrones: Princess Celestia on the left and her younger sister Princess Luna to her right.

Thanatos walked towards them, bowing and sighing. “My Princess, I bring news of a new threat that has come to endanger Equestria.”

Celestia looked him in the eyes and shook her head “If it’s not one thing it’s another, what is it this time Thanatos?”

He righted himself and sat down,

“The best I could describe is that he’s a danger to everypony here. He is violent, dangers, insane and must be stopped at any cost. I do not know what he looks like but I can sense his powers and he is coming here soon. Many others call him a god killer for he has killed several gods and left many places in shambles and chaos only to move on to the next and repeat it over and over again. His sights have now been set here on Equestria and you two the Goddess of Night and Day.”

He then glanced at Luna then got up and turned away.

“Now then, I must go. I am behind on my schedule for soul collecting.”

He then walked off and vanished.

Luna turned to Celestia with a worried look in her eyes.

“Sister, can we truly take on somepony dubbed ‘The God Killer’?"

Celestia sighed as her horn began to glow, a quill and parchment appearing in front of her.

“I don’t know sister but we will have to find out. I’ll gather the Elements of Harmony and you should go see if any of the books mentions this alleged God Killer.”

Luna got up and made her way to the Royal Archives as Celestia wrote a letter to her most faithful of students Twilight Sparkle.

In the dead of night a terrible storm was raging over the Everfree Forest. A single bolt of lightning streaked down from the sky and scorched the ground, lighting up the dark night. Lying in the scorched grass was a young blue alicorn. His eyes fluttered open for a second. He tried to move, but only cried out in pain instead. The world around him darkened as he fell

unconscious.

A tree above the alicorn would rustle then stop as a  silhouette of a Pegasus pony would drop down in front of him. The pony would give off a dark chuckle and circle around keeping it's eyes on it's prey.

It  would then smirk showing off rows of sharp jagged fangs then in a dark voice he spoke,

"Oh how the mighty have fallen you may have been on the top of the chain where you were, now you're nothing but a lowly maggot here."

He then began to chuckle

"Oh you got nothing to say for once what a pity you would have been so surprised to see me here. You tortured me, hunted me then banished me like they did to you ironic isn't it."

He then raised a hoof then brought it down hard and with a sickening crack he broke one of the alicorns wings.

"So long pup I'll be watching you."

His eyes flashed red then he flew off into the darkness of the Everfree.

As the night grew quiet and the storm passed over the forest several beams of pale moon light would surround over the alicorn as if imprisoning him in the one spot or rather leading a very curious princess of the night to the one how has been plaguing her thoughts all day.

As she flew from her room in Canterlot she was falling the beams of moonlight she soon saw Ponyville below her and noticed the beams were heading deep into the middle of the Everfree Forest.

She shook her head and kept on flying When she was directly over the spot she began to descend she let out a small gasp when she saw the beaten and battered form or a Pegasus pony laying on the ground.

Luna began to get closer to him and took several steps back and looked around

"What Trickery is this another alicorn here of all places?"

She then shook her head

"No something isn't right ."

She then walked back over to him then gently placed a hoof onto his head as her horn began to glow "Be strong little pony I'll get help for you soon."

In a small flash of light both of them were gone, Luna had teleported them back to her room in the royal castle in Canterlot.

She then placed him in her bed and walked to her door and quietly opened it

"I don't know if you can here me it seems you are too far gone but just know you are safe here for the night."

She then walked out and closed the door behind her a small click could be heard as it locked itself keeping the blue alicorn trapped inside not that he could complain or anything about the matter.
