Dante

Dante stood there, contemplating on whether to enter or not, he was the prince after all. What if he had changed too much, what did he mean, what if. He was no longer the bright and cheerful stallion he was praised to be, at least, on the inside. Inside lurked a darker force, a force that led him to... Feed his hunger.

"Sir! Are you alright?"

Asked a pony in a servants attire. He turned his attention to her and smiled.

"Oh yes, it has been a restless night. You know how those can be." He emitted a chuckle and took her image in, a feeling itched at the back of his head, something he couldn't quite scratch. She was a small girl, white as a cloud; unicorn. Her mane a fiery yellow-orange with the eyes to match.

"Heh.. Hah... Yes I uhm... Must return to my duties now..." She smiled backing away, not a happy smile, the kind of smile that says, you're nice and all; but you're a freak. He found himself entranced in her image as he watched her trot off, he had no sexual passion for her, he saw something else in her, he felt a drive. To, grab her and run, that sort of feeling, the need to keep her from danger. Dante leaned against the wall for a moment to gather himself, he closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

He awoke to find himself on the field once again, the battle raging around him. His vision cleared as he stared into the smoke and ember filled sky. He saw a figure hulking towards him. He shook his head again, clearing the haze he was in. It was a minotaur, as it grew closer and closer Dante tried to move, his muscles refused to move. The beat grew nearer and nearer, he gasped as he saw a war hammer being brought down upon him.

Quickly he had rolled in time, his left wing being the victim of the massive hammer. Dante jerked in pain as he felt the armor compress and bone shatter, the wing lay slack as the minotaur reared the hammer back for another strike. Dante stood his ground ready to take the hit. He grit his teeth as the hammer swung, he was too injured to fight back, he was barely standing.

A pony charged the minotaur knocking him off balance the hammer missing Dante by a hair, Dante buckled to his knees trying to force himself to move. He looked on as the brute overpowered the small pony, grasping her neck and lifting; slamming her down as if she were a mere rag doll. Her helmet flung off and she lay there gazing at him. White as snow, a Maine a fiery as the sun itself with eyes to match. The minotaur laughed at her inferior weakness to him the fear within her eyes, Dante felt something break inside him.

He stamped one hoof at a time, standing up, his breath steamed from his nostrils, he gathered his might and charged at the beast. His horn stabbed right through it's back, it howled in pain as its kidney and liver burst, He yanked free and walked around, he stabbed the abdomen pushing the minotaur back into a brick wall. Dante yanked his horn from the belly of the monster and spun, the bladed edge his right wing gashed the belly open, intestines flopped out and dangled loosely he grabbed them in his teeth pulling them out.

"No! NO! S-Stop!! P-Please! I-I-I AAAUGH!! I Surrender!! AUUUGH!!" The Minotaur cried out in pain, Dante was lost in the kill, he enjoyed the screams, his first kill, the blood was so... Thrilling! More more! He craved to hear more cries of pain from his poor victim. Dante let go of the fresh innards and walked to the war hammer, he gripped the handle in his teeth, and looked back at his defeated opponent who had fallen to his knees. Slowly Dante dragged the heavy weapon across the ground, picking up speed as he neared, lifting the hammer. The hammer smashed the head of the minotaur through the wall, his body lay there twitching in pain. He grinned watching the body twitch, the feeling of knowing that he took a life, was so orgasmic to him, he shivered with thrill.

"S-Sir..." The pony called out behind him, Dante immediately lost the feeling he had seeing one of his own in pain, he ran to her he laid on his knees and placed her head on them, he felt her blood run down.

"I.. C-Can't feel my b-body s-sir... I-it hurts... T-to breath..." She laid back coughing out blood, the fear in her eyes. "S.. Sir... End the pain... P-Please..." He shut his eyes and looked away.

"A-Are you sure...." He grunted, regretting his words, she nodded. He peeked at her she gave a faint smile he laid her head down and places a hoof on her neck, she closed her eyes and he hesitated and stomped down, the crack made his heart shatter. He looked down at the ground and back at the battle ensuing behind him. He dashed off and jumped right into the fight..

Dante found himself on the floor as he awoke, he gently stood and wiped some tears he had let loose in his time of unconsciousness. Dante took a deep breath and looked at the giant wooden doors as he pushed them open.

"Mom! I'm home!" He shouted looking up at Celestia..
