The Long road for love and life book one
Chapter 6 a journey and a dream come true
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs I made myself conferrable I noticed a slight hum or more like a hazy faint buzzing, I found it to be relaxing as the sound give way to colours, which in turn took shape. As images began to come into forces I noticed so to did the sound.
I found myself sitting in a extremely lavest carriage, the in sides were covered in padded Purple Staten fabric with diamond scorers, which made the padden bilges slightly, as I began to look around I notice that all the corners had a silver running between the ceiling and the wall, and tuning along the carriage doors and windows, the silver had been in graven with some kind of ivy pattern that seemed to change as the light of the moon would break from in between the trees,
I could see barely as they blurred by the window at speed, my eyes focusing on a lone silhouette of a tree agents the starry background. I began to keep looking at the silvery dance around the window frame which I watched with a sense of joy and interest. Suddenly a voice broke me from my trances and musings gently but quickly.
"Well I can not wait for..." The female prod tone dwindled and then came back "are you alright dear? You look a bit out of sorts." This voice sounded familiar somehow, as the thought hit me I noticed the slight reflection of a griffon stared back at me. My head turned to face a female griffon who had a look of concern upon her face. "I am sorry miss Heart tale, I am just worried about the security of this galer, and I would prefer to be my self". He said in an agitated but calm tone he continued " having such an event after so much loss is confusing me, not to mention" but I or rather he was interrupted by the Griffin "Do you remember how we met in that horror of war?"
I noded when an images of broken building's and the flashes of colors from different spells danced to and throw from different sides, with the sounds of explosion and screams, as i and my team continued to push back the hordes of chaos followers, rounding the corner of a onces busy street I noticed something in the sounds of war took my full attention, as I turned to face a monstrosity of what was a pony standing on its hind legs, which were now warped and twisted, they now resembled those of a minotaur, the chest was the same almost human, but it had no skin just mussel its fore hoofs were gone replaced by hands which had five long black claws dripping and oozing with what can only be described as vile and pure evil taint, its faces was barely recognisable as that of a pony's but it too was warped, its mouth held visus and sharp teeth that resembled dangers which to ozed with the same viel taint, the beast muscle was twisted into a snout and where the eye should of been were black orbs with a monstrous red diamond slit, with the look of a cat's eye when their in hunting mode.
I was only distracted from the view as a bolt of green light emanated from my horn above my view, and as if time slowed down I took in the full scope of what was before me.
I noticed that a griffon was pinned to the ground by a book self, and my target barely had time to move with all of its attention focused on what could be its newest victim, I felt the magic punch leap forward from my horn, this spell was meant to kill. Then time sped up slightly at first as the sound of the Griffin screamed came into focus, with the pain to face death and not being in honorable combat filled my senses such are the ways of Griffin culture, I watch as the ball of bright light which had an aura of green flames dancing behind it, i watched with glee as it punch into its target. I felt the pride and satisfaction as the monstrous forum began to burst into flame, it had a look of bewilderment upon its face as the body began to disintegrated into nothing but ash in the brezs.
"How could I forget, you were not pleased by being saved by.…what was that term again..oh yes I remember now, by a useless bug pony." I could hear myself chuckle at this. As the memory continued, as I darted over what could only be described as ruble of stone and ash, as the monstrous from gave a unworldly Moran as the flames finally took what was left of its warped and twisted head, which just flouted before disintegration as the flame took it away from this plane of existence.
Without a pause in my step I enveloped the book self with my magic from my horn which was light up in a green aura, as my ears selected a nearby hoof step deserving the ruble not to far from where that abomination had been, I turned to see a pony dressed in red armour with a diamond pupil in center of an eye, this ponys (and the term was used with hatred and a feeling of wanting to vomit out of disgust) followed their master and the elements of chaos and disharmony with enduring devotion, and if told to kill a newborn they would before the last letters of sound had faded from their masters lips,
these things along with other races ether joined out of respect and greed for power, some out of fear and or by spell, but all had sold their own will and there self control, being willing to kill there own family, as many had done so at the start of this war.
as I stood there this traitorous thing opens its mouth to speak "two more souls for my MA's" was all he managed to say as a low fast flying book shelf went hurtling through the air and struck his head, sending his body flying for about ten feet or so, jugging by the clatter hitting some of his Buddy's hard along with said bookcase.
I turned my attention back to the Griffen. "Are you injured at all?" Allowing my voice to be raised but still full of concerned. "Oh just fine"she snarked before she rose to her feet, and stretch her wings, and relaxed her eyes at me in surprise "I was was saved by a useless bug pony" she muttered under her breath, thinking that the sounds of battle would make her racist remark mute. But the changeling just giggled a bit, which court her off guard.
"Well my dear it would seem that this useless bug pony just saved your flank twice now!" As he continued to chuckle at her shocked face, he also felt a twinges of feelings coming from her, a mix of shock and surprise, and a dash of what could be at least a crush forming. She tried but failed to stop herself from a small blush on her face before quickly getting back to the task at talon, "I have a message for captain Cavan of the onclave its urgent"
just then another changeling dropped down and landed beside me, I turned my head to faces the new arrival. The other changeling lowered her head before rising again to speak while raising her hoof to Sault. "Sir! We have the enemy on the run and we have started to reinforce the Crystal city by erecting guard towers alongside the wall for added defense the rebuilding will start as little as tomorrow, we have also found survivors and have either treaded the injured or are still in the process of doing so,
we have had two casualties nothing too serious, we did lose one of our brothers to a abomination...." "do you know how?" I asked in a cold monotone voice out of shock. "I was there sir, their was no way anyone knew it was there", "could you identify the base spices?" I asked as most in Equestria are susceptible to their taint, only are a few apart from us changelings are immune to the poison that turns others into them. "We think it was a griffon sir, it dropped down onto us as we were heading toward the chapel for survivors, we thought going through the ruins would be quicker than going around them, we encountered hostiles nothing to tuff, until we were a couple of feet from the chapel, just one building to go throw. we checked the remains of the building which resembled a manor and everything was quiet so we proceeded, and when we were in the middle something fell behind me and the rest of us turned and saw this thing with a bloody featherless wings, its talons were warped elongated and blacker than my own Chechen, I could clearly see it starting to rip into."
I could feel her pain of a broken heart and a fire that I knew to well, but she was in control. "Its O-K, you do not need to say any more miss?" "Corporal Baf sir, sir permission to speak freely sir" "granted corporal" she gave out a syh and continued "Cavan they got my sweet Joleen, I just want to let you know I am all right and I want to tear them all a new one, sir" "very well corporal if that's all you are dismissed" with that I gave a salute back, and without a word Baf jumped up and took to the sky again and out of went out of view in a southern direction along with the rest of my command, even though it was classed as safe that does not mean it was for civilians.
The griffon was still in shock of finding that the changeling that had saved her from being turned into an abomination was the same captain she had been looking for before getting pined when that creature burst into the remains of the home. "Captain Cavan my name is Heart tale of the hours of clan Serbon, I was sent my father and by order of the king and Queen of Equestria to find you and deliver this to you.
The griffon reach under her wing with her beak, she moved a strap which she pulled out a green cylinder, which she then manipulated in her Talons screwing the top off, she reach in and pulled out a letter, just as she did so I swear the earth shook and so did the sky, everyone dropped down as a mash of colors like a mix of day and night smashed agonist a rainbow, every changeling including me felt a great senses of loss and a void,
as the sky and even the weather went aerie and as quickly as it had happened it stopped. The only signs that anything had happened at all was patches of hail and patches of snow and some scattered puddles, but the main sign was to the south East where the sun and moon light up the sky against the backdrop of stars. It was a mix of the kings spiked sun and of white stars, and the Queens purple and red spiked blue moon.
I found myself back in the carriage, facing the Griffin's eyes of love and concern and teary, "I am sorry, I just can not get over how they gave their lives to save us.....I might of.....we might of been able to help, but if they had of we would be inundated with those things.(the changeling Griffin shuddered at the thought) and then casualties would be to high a price to pay". "How can you say it like that but hurt so much" she clasped the changeling into her embrace.
I noticed myself slowly at first rises up as I was watching the two in each others embraced, now looking down at them as the scene began to grow darker and darker, then as if I had always been standing there I found myself on a mass of clouds, above me were Stars and Galaxy's moving by with enough speed to clearly see them dance and spin, I felt relaxed and safe and actually happy despite the pain I felt in my own heart, but witnessing parts of another's life gave me hope not pain, if I could I would of...
"WE DID NOT EXPECT TO (the voice changed from a booming sound, to a sweet melody in comparison) sorry little one" as the voice trialed off as I tuned around, "oh miss Luna (I said a bit more happier than I should have) I have to..." My own voice trialed off when I saw the blue alicorn face was running with tears, my heart went out to her and for the second time in my brief life I found myself hugging a creature that could easily kill me with a bat of an eyelash, but again I did not care.
