Clad That Forge Creation And Hearts

First time we stood together, is like a dream. Oh, what have become of us. What did we do to lose those days. Have we became too distant in some point? Or is it we who have changed... No, no, its my own foolishness that be fell upon us...

"Hurry up slowpoke! Or we're gonna miss it!"

"Come on.. We should be getting ready for tomorrows Ascending Ceremony, not goof around."

"Aw come-on, your always studying. Not once you have fun with others and its lonely when your just studying alone."

"I can have fun, I just don't do it- What are you doing?"

*CLINK-cang-* *CLINK-cang-* *CLINK-cang-cink* *Rumble*

"TADA! A hidden passageway leading to our new adventure! Just like the old times!"

"...So, your telling me. That you drag me with you, just to go down their, and have a possibility of being booby traps. I'm going back..."

"Come ON! This is our big chance! Me and you will be the first to discover ancient runes that I know you would be interested."

"I'm not going down their. I rather not be late for my blessings from the gods then to venture off."

"How about this, after the ceremony, we go down their. Will that be okay?"

"...Ugh... *calm breathing* Fine, but only after the ceremony, when we have time."

"YES!" Both of us laugh, but my friend is laughing at my silly act.

But that moment, didn't last forever...

Floor shook and started to crumble and before we knew it, we ran as fast as we could. Even with my running speed is above average I would have out run it, but I stood by her side til the very end. If only that last part was true... When it cave-in, I was hanging on a ledge as did my friend.

"THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAVE IN MIND!!" I shouted.

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" My friend ask, we're hanging side-by-side.

"Yeah! No problems here. What about you?"

"I am too... Now lets get up an' out of here."

"We officially call this adventure OFF."

As we pull ourselves up, my companion yelped as hers broken apart and started falling. Out of surprise, I reached out and grab her arm as I'm still holding on the ledge. "I gotcha! Just hold on!"

"I can't, Hold on tighter!"

"I AM, hurry and climb up! I don't know how long I can-"*CREEEEK* *crack*"NO! It's breaking loose!"
*creeek*
"HELP! HELP!!" we shouted.

"SARAH! KYE! WHERE COMING! JUST HOLD ON."

"I-I can't! I'm losing grip! AGH! Sarah, Ugh, hurry up and climb!"

"We'll both fall if I do that...-" *creeek* *crack* "Let me go, at least one of us will live."

"NO I won't! If you go *crack* AGH, I'll go too... Its my fault, I should've just listen to you." I look down to see her smiling face, but its for a different reason as I see a tear slid across her face. "No-"

"I'm sorry." She flick her hand I'm holding with off mine, she start falling.

"NOOOO!" I try and failed to grab her hand once more, she continue to fall as I yelled out her name. "SARRRAAAAAAH!!" Extend my hands in hope that she'll come back in my grasp, but for not. As I know that wouldn't happen, tears start falling like a river.

Falling to despair, I scream, my scream echoed so loudly, it reach throughout city."SARRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

I gasp in terror and instantly sat up, sweating. "Wha...Why..." Hand held my forehead as a stream of tears fell from my chin. Mind playing over, and over, and over. I can not bare this constant flashback of guilt. Breathe have became uneven and hollow, Hearing myself breathing to much isn't helping my sanity.

Shake myself like a cartoon character, I step out of bed landed face first. "OW!" Yupe, for being a god an all, I hate being at the end of a slapstick. "Death... I know your laughing at me. So don't make me come back their and beat you up all over again-cause-I-know-you-don't-want-THAT!"

...[Audience gave me a funny look.]

...What?

[Audience ask what that was about.]

...Oh! you wanna know who I was talking about. [They node.]

Death is the immortal Grimm Reaper. [They frantically search for the one that can kill you with one touch.] Whoa! Whoa! WHOA! Calm down, he's not here. It won't come fer ya, Especially the last time we met. [They seem less tense.] Me and it fought once before, and I won! [They gave you a "Your joking right" look.] Hay! I'm serious... Yeah it did use that death touch. But hay; it didn't understand that I can't die that way since all easy kills won't work! [Their eyes widen in surprise.] Yeah, I thought the same thing when it got me with its instant kill too! but I'm still alive! Thought I was done for, but I wasn't titled as God of Creation for nothing.

Anyways, back to the story... Wait... Agh-NO!-Skip scene ti-

Been hour since we walk through Everfree Forest. Usually work our way towards our destination in this thick forest, but I haven't seen a single enemy since we left and it makes me wary but Twilight seem to not knowtic as she walk casually. Not wanting her to get calm, I lowly voiced out. "Twilight," She look in my direction. "I don't mean to spoil your happy mood but its not the time for you to get soft. We aren't in a safe place so keep your guard up." Her ear flatten and walk on, I feel bad. I tried to clear up away her depression. "Sorry. I just don't wan't you to get hurt..." I didn't see any changes on my end an' sigh.

But on her mind told something else. She take small glances every now and then, seeing me cautious. But thats wasn't what she really see. (I've been with Cadence for a long time, but.. now seeing him like this. I don't know what this feeling he's hiding.)

Twilight, curious on what each princess sees in their perspectives, wants to know more about their talents are like. Celestia gave her a chance and ask Cadence for some lessons on detecting emotions. But she only teach Twilight on how, but everything else has to be self taught. Cadence lie to her about it and Twilight knew; that they know best, since their more experience with it then she is.

"Where here..."

And here is our stop, Everfree castle. Old broken castle, I mean really, very old and broken down stone wall and sealing, ruin castle. Sealing with some holes and broken pillars and plant pots everywhere thats all shattered in many pieces.

Confused, feeling mist of mana flowing under our feet; "Wheres that magic coming from?" I ask. My companion look over the seen and her horn lit up.

"I'm not sure. Its someponies giving out a beacon for help... Wait... CELESTIA!" Without warning Twilight ran in without any thoughts of danger.

"Twilight wait!" I called, chase her inside only to stop by an invisible wall. How? I felt it by hit it, my whole body smack into it of course. "OWWWww. That hurt." Unstuck myself from this unexpected feet-no-not that kind of feet.

After nursing my own pain, I look at this translucent wall, using my hands to inspect it for any weak spots. Sadly, their aren't any.

Suddenly; a group of shadows of Changelings appear out of darkness. Few that built for being a Pawn piece, two that has armor like exoskeleton which label as Rooks, four that has horns that is sharp as a knife with a slim built for a Knight. Yes I'm using Chest logic.

They already surround me but didn't try to apprehend me. I laugh, my inner beast is about to get nasty. Merchant is right about one thing, I do show my true color back then. "Come ON, I was expecting all powerful enemies... But if this is all you got then," I look back at the barrier, not wanting Twilight seeing me like this. "I will make quick work of it!" I whispered. Summon Lindows second god arc and it rev to life as its saw spins only up to the guard as it shouldn't be able to do.

I just dash at them like I'm trying to break the sound barrier. Slash at one of the weaker ones and felt three try to ambush me. I Spin like how Link does it and hit them in secession and they fell with black haze leak out of their remains. "You guys are like Ogretails from God Eaters," I split one down the middle in one swing motion. "No strategy and completely weak!"

One of the bulky one try to use some magic to act as a protect during ram. I was tempt to devour it by instinct but lunge my blade like what the short sword and shot a load of Bomb: Shots that makes a low level version an ant size of power to this rhino mass of power! Did a step back as I shoot like a maniac. "Taste thiiisss!" My voice keep vibrating, it made it hard to speak right. When I was a good distance away that I stop firing, Tank Changeling out of commission and produce the same black stuff.

One ran up to me like it was the only way and I was about to swing but my arm was bitten by one and held on tight which made it hard to swing. One that hit me upfront slam into me with a force of a buffalo, it hurts badly. "Damn it!" One thing about my powers is that I can still get hurt by normal physical attacks, and thats fine since close combat is my specialty but hurts when I don't pay attention to my enemies.

Jump up to the air and just feel my blood surge rage as a sinister red aura cover myself. My outfit change to a mixture of black, red and dark red, my skin became tan, hair turn onyx and my eyes became turquoise.

As I made contact on the ground, I raise my blade, instantly went to a crescendo. Multiple copies of me shot out out of no where and attack every target within facility and vanish after doing few hits. Ran up to one that has came within range after all my copies finish up, in just one swing that made all that has happen zoom pass by like time has stop in mere seconds.

Usually I have a few left behind when I use this, but not this time. Hearing thump(s) from behind. I only Peek behind me for a short seconds, see everyone of them fallen to their deaths, unable to handle anymore punishment.

Wanted to be sure of any more hostiles nearby, I look over the area and seeing none left. Released some air as I breath out in relief. Dismiss my weapon and walk up to the still standing barrier. Seeing it still standing, I bang at it in frustration. "I guess my part ends here..." I froze as my Blood Surge form hasn't dismiss when I want it to. (What?)

Look over myself for a-bit before realization hit me! "I... I can't change back! No. No no no no no! This can't be happening to me!"

Its coming back to haunt me! Whispers of many that died by my hands and repeat constantly. An eerie pain hit me like a motor truck and feels like my head squeezing between two hammers.

I grasp my head in both hands in pain and didn't stop like I hope it would. I can only scream in pain and keep saying over and over that 'I'm sorry' or 'I didn't want to'. But they counteract with their own with what I could have done instead, but their only going to cause more destruction or more disputes.

But one person, in all those voices, have hit me harder. "Why Kye? Why did you let me fall, alone?" Couldn't continue as I fell on the floor, eyes moist and everything's all blurry. But I can tell who that voice belongs to, and it hurts to here her.

I can only whispered three words in sorrow. "I'm sorry... Sarah..." Eyes close, and tears trail down my face as did voices in my head ends.

Couple of hours pass since my dream; more like a nightmare; now bringing up an old memory that haunts me still. Wipe away tear, my emotional roller coaster end, getting up from the floor. I revert back to my self by its own, but I have no time to relish.

More shadows appear thats all armor types. But three are more larger with tusk like horn instead.

My face masked and narrow at all of them. I turn back once more to my Blood Form and stay that way. I don't care what others my think, I choose to bare this form. Not cause it represents my past, not because it holds painful memories. (To be honest, I just hope no one sees me like this.) I thought.

Its because its what I deserve. Those that died, by my own hands! Those that won't stop using me like I'm some machine, they where a disgrace to use me, ME the chosen God of Creation for their own benefit. I can forgive them if their doing it for good like making antidotes or medicines...

Shook my head and growl. "I won't let my past hold me down." And summon lindows sword once more and ran at them as I scream my war cry. "Feel my blood line, of the IMMORTAL SLAYER!!!"

Twilight ran further inside, leading to where the throne room resides.

Hours of navigating, she reach the entrance. She was about to reach out for the door until her brain press a caution button. What if this is a trap? What if she pull this door and a monster comes out to eat her.

Heart beating, hoofs sweat and shake in anticipation. Her fears of just opening it, would only show not a single pony inside; has made her mind go jumble.

Not wanting to have a disadvantage, she charge up her teleportation spell in case it happens, reach out for the doors. Time seems to slow down, slowly place her hoof on it, as if it'll trigger a trap door by just touch. Seeing the nothing has happen, Twilight slowly pushing it open, causing it to creak quietly.

Wide enough for a pony to walk in, She brace herself and look inside. It was dark and miserable display, its just a large rectangular hall with two throne at the end of the oppose side.

Her eyes turn to whats at the center when she saw movement. Seeing with her very own eyes as it land upon her friends sitting in the center of the room, even see everyone from Ponyville is here too! They look horrible with their face tired; all depress and miserable. But that didn't stop her from smiling, her heart could jump out in joy at seeing everyone! "Princess! Girls! Spike!" Twilight glee.

"PINKIE! Stop impersonating Twilight! I just want you to keep quiet and let me sleep." Rainbow growled at the pink pony in irritation. She tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't which made her shout in frustration. "AAGGHH!!!"

Pink pony look, confuse. Look over to her rainbow mane friend. Her straight mane swung aside with her head motion. "Its not me." Pinkie Pie answered somber.

"Everypony!!" Twilight cheered as she ran up to her friends. Her thoughts of this being a trap is thrown out the window.

First one to know-tic her was Twilights brother, Shining Armor. Which his eyes widen in surprise and spoke in joy. "Twily!" His announcement got everyones attention they act as did her brother, and all her friends ran up to her in joy. "Its really you!" He said cheerfully.

Twilight nuzzle her face to his as stream of tears fell. "Yes; it is! Its really me!" She gleam at seeing her friends.

Celestia came up to Twilight and embrace one another like old time friend. "I am glad to see that your alright!" Release her embrace as everypony start leaving, chatting about their time here. "What happen?" concern in Celestia voice.

Mean while...

An unexpected thing happen as rain fell. But not any kind of rain, a WHITE rain. I can't tell but I'm certain that its suppose to be clear with only a reflective surface. They aren't dangerous as I see them touch my skin and nothing came. But I barely glance for only a second as another burst of magic struck my shield. Tired of blocking with my defense that I had to force half of my mana to place a barrier over me, tired from just using half of my magic too.

"Gah! *huff* Damn it." I grunt at my unlucky situation as they fire thin beams at a barrier that I cast around me. My shield attachment would've been useful but didn't want to take any chances. "Why does this form has more things to offer and not my Demigod Form or God Form?!" Question my own power limitations and what merchant did to me.

Surround by armor shadows with no way to escape, all I can do is mow them down one by one. Their is an option, but its debatable. I can use my god form and take this serious, but go against it. If I abuse its power like what others do, it'll give everyone to treat me like a god instead of being a normal person. But If I stay in my weaker forms, then my immunity to outside of melee combats will get myself kill!

My thought froze. If I can die like this... then surely means I can atone for my sins! No more regrets to weigh me down; no more harming others that desires my powers or fear, no more mortals treating me like an untouchable god! Twilight doesn't know everything about my godly powers since she didn't see it in tremendous capacity, not wanting my first ever real friend too-

"...My...Friend!?..." Words smack me awake from my own desires of true peace.

Friend... I haven't use those words over a thousand years.

One try to sneak up from behind so I did a back attack on em. I have to stop reminiscing and start paying attention. But I didn't knowtic a white wind picking up until it was to late. Unable to see by its bright light that I have to cover my eye with my unused arm. What is happening...

When all that white wind dissipate, I open my eyes to look at where I am. I saw that I'm near Ponyville, at the grass field just where we came in the Everfree and I somehow reverted back twice today.

I didn't look around for something; or someone thats within my line of sight, a sight that I never wanted to see. What stood in my general direction is a teenage women with long black hair and pale skin.

Wore a roman attire for the torso and for her hips down is a frill skirt that hangs to just above her feet where she wore high knight greaves. Arm covered in bandages and over it is knight armor gloves, her chest shows half armor with tubes on her back thats connected to a large wings that let her stay floating. Even curtain areas on her body has black spikes with a few gems covering her other side that held no armor. In her right hand is a black staff thats completely crooked to a dragons head while the other hand held a shield gauntlet thats large enough to block her face to her knee.

"T-T-This can't be!" I whispered, voice trembling. I took a step forward as my body trembles in pain, one that I haven't had for so long.

"Were almost there! Just a little bit further!" Rainbow shout anxiously as she flies over the forest. All the ponies were ecstatic, seeing home again is their happiest moment of all.

But one young alicorn seems distracted which has Cadence eye. "Something a matter? You seem a bit distracted." Twilights foalsitter ask. She node.

"I just realize, I left Kye here; I mean back there... Since he isn't at the castle entrance I suspect he's at Ponyville." Miss Sparkle thought, placing points and pins at her theory like pinning small piece of paper on a board.

"Thats-" Cadence words are cut out as a song- no; theme make sense; playing. They were coming close to Everfree edge. When they reach grassy meadow seeing two figures stood there. First one Cadence lays eyes on is a young girl. "Is that Kye?" She ask, couldn't tell if thats him and not knowing what humans look like and biology except for in mythology and legends.

Twilight look at her and shook her head. "No, thats a girl, not a male."

"What about that one." Pinkie Pie point at a boy thats a bit further away from the girl.

Twilight glance at him and froze in place. She wasn't the only one as did the other princesses, especially Celestia and Luna when they look in that direction as well. What they felt is an immense blood and death flowing out of his aura. If they have to describe on what they felt, it feels like countless live die by his hand or around him.

She didn't want to believe this. Doesn't WANT to believe it. She took a few steps forward to this man body trembling. Words quivered as she call his assume name. "Kye..." (Is he some murderer? a monster!?) He turn to look at her and they gasp as seeing one eye that brought shivers up their spines.

"N-N-N-N-NIGHTMARE MOON! SHES RETURN!" One pony shouted and everything gone crazy as they hide behind the princesses. Princess in question has tense up at seeing my eyes.

My eyes only linger to Twilight for a bit; then look away. Shes scared of me, she might not want be friends with me after this. Look over my old friend, no; not my friend. "Why... Why... Why...-" My eyes glare at her in anger. "Why are you disgrace the dead! Especially, MY, FRIEND!!" Anger seethe through my teeth.

Without even thinking, I activate battle mod.

"Battle System Initiated" An unknown thought pop in our head for the start of our spar match.
