navnik ixen's journeyby navnik ixenChaptersHarmony and the ForsakenJoining harmonyDaughter of the nightRual to urbanThe blessing of oldDawn of bloodThe journey beginsLunar dreamsFire at willHarmony and the ForsakenGasping navnik ixen rose to his feet, the fire now only a pile of ash. Groaning he walked to his bag "What was that "Thing"" he muttered to himself. "Oh hey Twi!" yelled a rainbow maned Pegasus from a cloud. Looking up Twilight Sparkle grined "oh hey Rainbow Dash, you still coming over for lunch today?!" she yelled back. Fling down and landing Rainbow Dash responded "Heck ya i'm still coming, isn't the others?". "Well ya just with Princess Luna coming over to talk I wasn't sure." Twilight responded sheepishly. "I see I am almost late Twilight Sparkle." Luna spoke up landing beside the two. "Oh Princess Luna you're here!" Twilight and Dash exclaimed in surprise. In her usually calm voice "I must speak with you and your friends immediately, in your castle preferably." Luna commanded. "Alright princess, i'll get the girls." Dash exclaimed. Sitting five mares sat in their respective chairs. "Alright sugar cube what's this all about?" Asked a orange farm pony as Twilight entered the room. "Well Princess Luna just told me that there's some weird creature in the Everfree forest." Twilight gulped before continuing "and she said that he seems to attack on sight." Twilight finished nervously. In a rush of excitement Rainbow bolted from her chair "well what are we waiting for?" she asked looking back. "Darling we don't know what this ruffian can do." replied Rarity, flipping her purple mane out of her face. "O-o-o a guessing game, can he fly, maybe Mph." started Pinkie Pie before Applejack stuffed a pancake in her face silencing her. "He can form into a mist and transform into what appears to be a metal creature." Explained Princess Luna "you should approach him with great caution." she finished. "Well I guess we should get going before dose anypony harm." Twilight stated shakily. Looking though a mountain of old tomes Spiritfire read over some protection spells, while eating soup made from herbs from the forest. "This might prove useful." he mumbled to himself. Reading over the spell multiple times before attempting it. Roaring loudly as he cast the spell "What magic is this?" he whispered to him self clutching his left arm. Looking down at his arm he realized his mistake "how could I forget to change the light elements into chaotic elements?" he mumbled. "Um, girls did you hear that?" asked Fluttershy in her usually meek tone. Looking around, Twilight stated "Well Princess Luna did say he had dragon like features." in a quiet voice. The six bares jumped back the sight of a crimson glow. "That looks like it came the castle." Twilight stated. Gasping they saw a black streak across the sky. "PRISM BOLT GET DOWN HERE!" Rainbow Dash yelled at the top of her lungs. The girls rushed off seeing that Blitz wasn't stopping. Hearing a large crash Spiritfire moved to investigate. "What in blazes?" navnik ixen spoke quietly seeing a black, rainbow maned stallion. He quickly turned into a small squirrel, moving closer to the stallion. The stallion started stirring "Well that could have gone better" the stallion stated chuckling. As he got up Prisim Bolt looked at the squirrel "Well usually they run." he stated as the doors burst open frightening navnik ixen. Rainbow Dash glared at Prisim angerly. "I told you to get down." rainbow scolded Prism. "U-um girls." Twilight stammered pointing at the squirrel as it glowed. "You appear similar to the one in my dream." navnik ixen stated forming back into his true form. Gasping all seven ponies stepped back "But with nowhere near her ferocity." he continued. "W-what was her name?" Twilight asked. Looking at her sternly Spiritfire responded "Luna.". navnik ixen roared before charging Twilight. Twilight gasped as she flew up. "Nether from ground nor sky I will not FALL!" He yelled hurling a ball of magic at Twilight. Moving out of the way Twilight noticed the magic reducing a section of wall reduced to rubble. Prism Bolt charged navnik ixen knocking him to the ground. Yelling navnik ixen surrounded himself in a crimson mist soon emerging as a suit of metal armor with red glowing eyes. "And from the ashes of defeat we shall rise." Stated navnik ixen in a deep, menacing voice. "You real think he's in there?" asked a white dragon-pony hybrid mare. "Well were else could he be Clare?" Asked a tall green stallion with similar features. Yelling in rage navnik ixen hurled a fist at Prism. Missing his mark navnik ixen stumbled and roared in pain as Twilight hit him square in the back with magic. Soon the spell dissipated reviling an unconscious hybrid. "Well we might want to restrain him." Said Twilight gasping for breath. "I'll get my rope." Applejack responded blankly. "Clare, Turquoise what in tarnation was that." asked a golden brown earth stallion. Looking back surprised Turquoise responded "don't know, but lets find out.". Walking into the castle the three noticed Prism Bolt being scolded by his mother Rainbow Dash, and five other mares sitting around. "What's goin' on here?" asked the golden brown stallion. "Oh Golden Delicious, nothin' much right now sugar cube." answered Applejack slightly surprised by the appearance of her son. Groaning navnik ixen slowly woke up, faintly remembering the battle before. "I-i yeald." he spoke softly with a defeated tone. Gasping the others looked as his restraints undid themselves and he rose to his feet. Turning to Twilight he fell to one knee "by my honor I must serve you until such a time you release me." He spoke in a calmer tone than before. Joining harmony"Wait what?" Twilight asked in confusion. "My code of honor dictates that if one should defeate me on the field of battle I must follow them for one moon." explained navnik ixen raising to his feet. "Well now that's out of the way, we should get back to town." Applejack stated, picking up her rope and placing it in her bag. "If it is her wish." navnik ixen responded motioning his hand toward Twilight. "Well, while we're here we could clean up a bit more." Twilight stated cheerfully. "If that is your wish then I would like to continue my studies." navnik ixen stated if a calm, flat tone. Staring at him Twilight nodded in approval. Mumbling to himself navnik ixen raised his hand with a shadowy mist forming, then solidifying to form an black and red shield in his left hand. "Heya!" Pinke Pie yelled startling navnik ixen. Jumping up navnik ixen riased his shadow shield and prepared a magic blast. "By the blood of my ancestors!" he yelled at Pinkie. Calming down, the shield disapated "sorry miss uhh..., sorry but I never got your name." he stated in his normal, calm tone. "Oh silly me, I'm Pinkie Pie but you can just call me Pinkie." Pinkie replied cheerfully. "Very well Miss. Pie." navnik ixen replied. Coming up the stairs Twilight entered the room, shocked to see Pinkie reading though a book. "Well this might be the first time anypony got Pinkie to read a book." Twilight stated in astonishment. "Miss. Pie is simply looking though some recipes I found in these ruins." navnik ixen stated looking up from his book. "Well we're about to head back to town." Twilight responded. Getting up navnik ixen started packing his bag, nodding in a silent response. "Okie dokie." Pinkie said jumping down the stairs. Chuckling to himself navnik ixen continued packing his bag. "Might I know your names" navnik ixen asked on the way out of the castle. Looking at him Twilight spoke up "well you met Pinke already." she stated pointing to th jubilant pink mare. Pointing at Applejack "and that's Applejack.". "Nice to meet ya." Applejack spoke up "and this is my son Golden Delicious." patting Golden on the back. navnik ixen looked over his shoulder, not breaking his pace. Pointing to her left Twilight continued "this is Rarity, and her children Crystal Clareity and Torquise." she stated pointing to the green stallion as well as a pale white mare and a light purple mare beside her. "Hybrids tell me, are treated any differently here?" navnik ixen spoke up curiously. "Well not really darling..." Clareity spoke up before being cut off by her brother. "Except for some of the all high and mighty noble ponies around town." Torquise stated furiously. "I see." navnik ixen mumbled. Pointing to her right Twilight continued carefully "and finally the shy mare is Fluttershy and beside her is Rainbow Dash.". "Um..., hi." Fluttershy said quietly. "And this little speedster is Prism Bolt." Dash stated firmly. "Yes, sir crash-a-lot I've met him, not to mention he knocked me to the ground." navnik ixen stated with a slight chuckle. They continued in silence for what seemed like hours. "Well here's Fluttershy's cottage." Twilight stated with a slight yawn. Returning to town the mares all went home wile Spiritfire walked beside Twilight. "I never got your name." navnik ixen spoke up breaking the silence. Stammering Twilight responded slapping her face "I'm so, so sorry I'm Twilight Sparkle.". Nodding navnik ixen walked on in silence. After a few minutes the duo came to Twilight's castle. "So this is the crystal structure I saw before." Spiritfire spoke after a good five minutes. Opening the door Spike a small, green and purple dragon smiled and cried out "Twilight you're back, I was getting worried!". Looking confused Spike whispered something in Twilight's ear as she bent down. Giggling Twilight explained the presence of Spiritfire. Daughter of the nightnavnik ixen grunted as he was thrown to the ground. "You fall this day abomination!" his attacker yelled charging navnik ixen. Clambering to his feet navnik ixen raised his staff swinging it to knock the attack away. Connecting the blow navnik ixen spoke into the figure's ear "I will not fall to a Soulfang." he stated calmly. With a white, blinding flash he covered his eyes. "Not this again." navnik ixen groaned. "So will you attack me like you did my mother, or will you listen?" the figure asked. "And before you ask I am Princess Nidra." the figure stated with slight annoyance. Looking at Nidra navnik ixen stated "no, I will not." navnik ixen paused looking at the ground. Looking back up he continued "truthfully I should not have attacked your mother, I should have been prepared to attack, but learn more about her first." he wrapped up crossing his arms. "Well that's nice." Nidra informed him. "I'd prefer not to do too much." she continued, wiping down her dress. "But, it is costumary for two warriors to test their metal aginst each other." navnik ixen stated blankly, before continuing "will you do me this simple honor?" He asked giving a slight bow. "Oh very well." Nidra stated with a obvious groan. Turning to navnik ixen she summoned a silver short sword. Scoffing navnik ixen spoke up "You may want some armor.". Turning into a crimson most he emerged with both shiny black and crimsion armor and blade. "Just don't run like your mother.". Saying no more navnik ixen moved to a battle stance. "I'd prefer not to do this but here we go." Nidra stated raising her sword arm, while starting to glimmer in a bright, silver light. Moving forward Nidra appeared in black and silver plate armor. Looking up her new appearance stunned navnik ixen shook his head clearing his mind. "The armor suites you." navnik ixen complemented. After a few moments he charged roaring. Copying him Nidra charged swinging her blade. "Your form is sloppy and undisciplined, watch your defense, and for the love of my ancestors stop missing me." navnik ixen pointed out in slight agitation. "It would help if you didn't dodge every attack." Nidra protested before being knocked to the ground. Getting up Nidra gasped as she heard a familiar voice. "You could do better Nidra." Luna pointed out landing softly on the ground. "M-mother what are you doing here?" Nidra exclamed in surprise. "You said I could do this my self!" Nidra screamed at Luna. "And you are, I am merely observing." Luna replied in a calm tone. "Nice job by the way, the guards aren't able to knock so much sense into her." Luna commented turning to navnik ixen as he dispelled the armor and blade. "I see the resemblance between you two." navnik ixen stated in a flat tone. "Well thank you, I hope to see you in person soon." Luna replied before turning to see a startled Nidra. Looking at navnik ixen's arm Luna gasped. "What happened?" she asked moving to take a better look at the arm. "My right of passage." navnik ixen stated. Seeing their confused expressions he continued "My people's coming of age is the replacement os a limb or a eye by cybernetic enhancement.". "My arm improves stength and arcane abilities, as well as allowing me to interface with equipment." He finished pulling up his right sleeve to expose the metal arm. "Why your arm?" Nidra asked with a shaky voice. "It's my sword arm, I can hit harder." navnik ixen explained. "Does Twilight Sparkle know?" Luna asked calming down from her shock. Looking at his arm navnik ixen shook his head and replied "No, Ms.Sparkle does not know yet." Pausing for a moment he looked back up from his arm while releasing his sleeve, allowing it to drop. "I plan to inform her and her friends in the morning." he finished. "Speaking of witch it is almost dawn I must lower the moon, until we meet again." Luna stated before the dream disapated. Waking up navnik ixen walked over to his window, in time to see the rising son. "Perhaps maybe, just maybe." he stated walking to the door. Rual to urbanAuthor's Note Follow the link for the translations of draconic to common http://draconic.twilightrealm.com/ Rual to urban Walking into the kitchen navnik ixen used his magic to fire up the stove. Humming to himself he began to mix batter with several herbs. "ancestors majak ve dastudr naeck." he mumbled to himself. "What?" Spike groaned walking into the kitchen. "What's that smell" he asked while navnik ixen moved to make tea. Turning around navnik ixen spoke up "Mel'nakit moxt ir.". Seeing Spike's confused expression he explained with a smile "It means, good morning little one.". "Oh well good morning then, I'm Spike." Spike stated feeling a bit more awake. "Usually I cook." he stated with a chuckle. "I figured I'd make myself useful while ms. Sparkle rest, by the way it's almost ready." navnik ixen stated. Moving a few platters into the main dinning hall he and Spike continued to talk until a knock was herd. "Mom usually not awake yet." stated a unfamiliar voice. "Anyways I live here we don't need to knock." the voice continued with slightly more anoyance. "She's in one of those moods." Spike pointed out with a sigh. "Ssejinw." navnik ixen commanded in a low aggressive tone. navnik ixen watched has a orange Pegasus and Turquoise walked in. "Pok!" he yelled. Upon hearing him the pair stopped in their tracks. "What?" asked Turquoise cocking his head. "Must I explain everything." navnik ixen stated with great annoyance. "Pok means halt." he explained calming down. Exchanging confused looks the pair stood still. "Wait, your aura resembles ms. Sparkle's." he stated calming his stance. Glaring at Spiritfire the orange Pegasus spoke up "Well I live here, and before you ask my name is Starburst!" the mare practically screamed. "What was that?" Twilight asked walking down the corridor with half closed eyes. "Starburst, oh that's what I forgot last night." She continued with a sudden look of remembrance. "Well ms. Starburst I am navnik ixen of the Bloodfang clan, and to clear any confusion to my presence I am honor bound to protect ms. Sparkle for a moon." Spiritfire explained taking a more professional stance. "Oh Spike, can you stand by the door and wait for the others?" Twilight asked turning to the small dragon. "Alright and um what was it?" Spike asked turning to navnik ixen. "Mel'nakit." navnik ixen answered. Thanking him Spike ran for the door as another knock sounded. "We're all here darling." Rarity chirped happily. All fifteen ponies took seats at the table. "Spike darling it smell like you really outdid yourself this time." Rarity stated "Na, he cooked today." Spike replied pointing to navnik ixen. "Vinxa, thank you" navnik ixen responded with a slight nod. "What language was that." Twilight asked looking at the platters. "An ancient draconic tongue used by my people." navnik ixen explaned, levitating the platter covers to reveal the the biscuits beneath. Continuing his spell he levitated a biscuit to each plate. "The recipe is on of my mother's with slight changes to some ingredients." he continued. Every one ate in silance humming in approval to the biscuits. Breaking the silence Twilight spoke up "Well is everypony ready to go to Canterlot?" she asked earning an confused glance from Spiritfire. "Oh princess Luna said she needed me and the girls for something." Twilight explained. "Affirmative, I will prepare for the journey." navnik ixen stated before leaving for his room. "Does he have to come?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes he does, it's his whole honor code." Twilight explained. "re wux khru?" asked a old, raspy voice projecting from an old figure Laying on a bed. "filki zahae, yth re heading ihk wer capital si geou renthisj mrith asta leaders." navnik ixen explained in a hushed tone. "si geou update wux shafaer karifilt developments." he stated before the figure disapeared. "All aboard for Canterlot!" screamed a stallion at the head of the train. "What is this?" navnik ixen asked moving toward the train. "It's a train silly." giggled Pinkie Pie bouncing onto the train. After about twenty minutes Twilight spoke up "Well we should be there soon." she trailed off looking at navnik ixen before asking "Hey navnik ixen you ok?". "kepla'nas doutani, prepare yourselves the sepa jeskic grow near." navnik ixen stated flatly just before the train came to a sudden halt. "vorq rilvelklar!" shouted a loud voice after a few moments. "ehtah navnik ixen!" shouted the same voice. "What the hay are they saying?" Applejack asked. "Look everywhere, find navnik ixen." navnik ixen responded in a hushed voice. "They're looking for me." he continued quietly. "si mi tenpiswo!" he yelled before bolting off the train. "wiilirk jacion!" the loud voice commanded as the invaders left the train to follow Spiritfire. "Must they use that language?" Rarity asked. "axun." navnik ixen stated shortly after the train started up. "It is all they know, malairi." he continued with a chuckle. Seeing Twilight's confused expression navnik ixen explained the illusion of him running away. After another peaceful twenty minutes the train arrived with a booming voice stating "Canterlot station!". "Good we'er here." Twilight stated with a yawn. "I must speak with Princess Luna, she has already requested my presence." navnik ixen stated. "Alright see you tomorrow." Twilight replied moving to her room. "Your highness." navnik ixen stated taking a knee and bowing his head. Looking up Luna gave a nod to her guards before speaking "Good thou art here, shall we begin?". The blessing of oldAuthor's Note Inspiration from SteampunkBrony's The Vampony chronicles The blessing of old "What do you wish to speak of?" navnik ixen asked. Giggling Luna motioned for him to rise. "About a very old spell I designed to help better protect Equestria." Luna explained as navnik ixen rose to his feet. "More specifically it made the blessed stronger, faster, and quicker to react." she continued grabbing a large tome and levitating it to navnik ixen. Looking at the tome Spiritfire turned to a marked page. "I may be able to adapt the spell for my own aura to prevent any harm to myself." navnik ixen mumbled. Taking a small pice of parchment he began to write runes in a vertical line. Holding up the revised spell he began to charge the spell, being engulfed by a crimson flame. "navnik ixen?" Luna asked, concern lining her voice. Getting up navnik ixen groaned with patches of the flame still lingering. "I'm fine." navnik ixen stated rotating his wrist. Grabbing his staff and leaning on it for support he spoke up "I just need some rest now.". Charging a hooded figure yelled "wux loreat jaka!". "No please!" Twilight screamed waking from her sleep. Within moments navnik ixen barged in staff in hand. "I'm fine, just a bad dream." she explained. Nodding navnik ixen left the room as Twilight went back to sleep. "wux loreat jaka!" yelled once more just before being impaled on a blade. "Dreams are not only Luna's domain." navnik ixen stated as the figure dissipated. "It is the shamans role to insure the mental and physical well being." he continued after noticing Twilight's confused expression. "So your shaman acts as the protector of your dreams?" Twilight asked "Yes and no." stated navnik ixen. "The shaman does not protect our dreams, but he does ensure a peaceful sleep." he finished. "So you to can enter dreams?" Luna asked appearing from a ball of silver light. "Apart from being self conscious of my dreams, yes." navnik ixen answered. "Shall we speak of this blessing now so all hear in one setting." he asked "So when you attacked me you were aware it was a dream?" Luna asked. "Yes and no, sometimes it is hard for me to differentiate dream from reality." navnik ixen pointed out. Looking around he noticed Twilight shuffle uncomfortably. Wordlessly navnik ixen and Luna disappeared and materialized on a empty silver plane. "The moon?" navnik ixen asked confused by his surroundings. "Yes, we can discus the blessing privately here." Luna explained. Looking on Luna noticed fangs forming in navnik ixen's mouth. "It's developing far faster than we would have thought." Luna stated with a look of curiosity. "Anyways the blessing will make you stronger, faster and make you immune to dark magic's corruptive effects, but you will need to drink blood once a month, more if you fight alot." Luna finished. "Now we must take our leave, it is dawn." Luna spoke before disappearing. "mel'nakit thurkiitu" navnik ixen greeted Twilight as she left here room. Dawn of blood"Equestria seems to be good for our people." navnik ixen stated to a hooded female figure. "I know, my mother however will not leave the Bloodfangs behind." the figure stated. "Then i'll convince the shaman, don't worry pab charis, or should I just call you water hope?" navnik ixen asked. With a small giggle water hope continued "just hope, Spirit fire.". Nodding Hope faded. "opsola." Spirit fire said taking a knee. "sia deevdru." the old figure responded before coughing. "si tepoha ehtaha vi z'ar okarthel." Spirit fire stated rising. "nomag wer iejir welun soves wux." Spirit fire continued. "qe kepla'nasa ihk hesi confnir." Spirit fire's father ordered. "mobi re lyriki tenpiswo, slathalin ergriff sjek wux zklaen." Spirit fire pleaded. "zi algbo navnik ixen." the figure said before dispersing. "Tia you know she's been wanting a personal guard for some time!" Luna shouted. "It would give her more experience withe command." Spirit fire pointed out. "By the way my people are coming I must escort them here, so please keep Twilight safe." he finished. "Why doesn't she go with you to start building relations." Celestia asked waving her hand. "I can see how that would benefit everypony, I can still protect her, positive ties are built, and she might be able to do some research." Spirit fire stated before continuing "then we set off immediately.". "You need wings to get to the west faster." Luna pointed out. "I've got that covered." Spirit fire replied earning a confused stare from the royal sisters. Smiling Spirit fire summoned crimson mist emerging with armor and draconic wings. "It would seem the blessing affected my shadow spells. "All these books...." Twilight moaned groggily. Smirking to himself Spirit fire yelled "Atten-TION!" Screaming Twilight fell out of her bed, her wings stiff with fright. Laughing maniacally Spirit fire almost fell over before bracing himself on the door frame. "navnik ixen, what was that for?!" Twilight yelled throwing a pillow at him. "Come we must leave, Princess Celestia's orders." Spirit fire stated calming down. Moving down the corridor they came to a stop outside Celesia's bedroom. "We should go." Spirit fire suggested not wanting to anger the white princess. "Is that yelling?" Twilight asked hearing a faint sound. Suddenly Spirit fire went into a dive bomb crashing onto several stallions. Screaming he lifted the stallions before ripping them to shreds. "navnik ixen stop!" Twilight yelled as she landed. "loreat iejir jesk bikil!" an armored figure yelled swinging a massive sword at the two. "si nishka ti wielg ekess vi sepa jesk!" Spirit fire yelled summoning his shadow blade. As the blades clashed a arrow pierced the metal figure. "tiichi wer zezhuanthi, wux re takh." Stated a female archer as she hugged Spirit fire. "astahii confna de thric jahen." the archer whimpered, burring her face in his shoulder. "petranas letoclo navnik ixen." the archer pleaded looking up into Spirit fire's glowing eyes. "si geou, shar itrewic jacioniv ekess tokeqwim." Spirit fire commanded. "Go with her she'll take you to safety." Sprit fire ordered before rushing to battle. "Come on girls the map sent us all this way." Applejack stated in a gallop. "pok!" yelled the archer. "Twilight!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "si gavir wux pok!" the archer yelled causing all five mares to stop. "Wait their my friends!" Twilight yelled stepping in front of the archer. "zi algbo." the archer said lowering her bow. "wer vargach ui ultrinninana opsola." Spirit fire stated kneeling before his father as twilight and her friends stepped in. "opsola nomenoi re thurirli, astahii waph persvek nomeno thaczil." Spirit fire stated waving his hand at the group of mares. "It's nice to meet you sir." Twilight said walking forward. "coi ui d'nag ekess tafiaf wux ushakal." Spirit fire translated. "si charis yth shilta qe xihuuliup di nomeno thaczil." Spirit fire's father stated. "My father hopes to be worthy of this land." Spirit fire said. "and my father's name is soul fire." He pointed out. "Well I hope for the best for your clan Soul fire." Twilight stated. "algbo si charis ihk wer bensvelkilti ihk dout clan sepa ixen." Spirit fire translated before a small filly burst in. "navnik ixen wux re spical!" the filly yelled hugging Spirit fire's leg. "mobi wux re moxt ir." Spirit fire chucked as he picked up the filly. "Everypony this is star fire or isk ixen." he stated with a grin. Turning back to hi father Spirit fire spoke "re yth krathin ekess yoscam?" he asked with fear lining his voice. "axun." Soul fire replied weakly. With a sigh of relief Spirit fire yelled out side "kepatmasto origato udoka yoscam ihk hesi z'ar okarthel!". Within minutes everyone was moving with warriors marching on the perimeter. "vur naeck dianic persvek iejir." Spirit fire mumbled. "What was that?" Twilight asked. "Sorry, this was not a good way for you all to meet my people." Spirit fire replied. "and today dawns in blood is an old saying use if a day opens in bloodshed." he finnished. The journey beginsA tall, dark gray, pony-dragon hybrid makes his way though the Everfree forest of Equestria, leaning slightly on his hand made staff out of slight exhaustion. His travels had brought him from his home clan known as the Bloodfangs, all the way to this unknown land of vegetation much unlike his home. He'd been tracking what he could only describe as a large beast made of crystals. Following the beast to a small village where it was resting. Moving up to investigate the sleeping beast, he slowly reaches out a clawed, rough hand. Touching the beast's smooth, shiny surface a loud roar erupted from the front of the beast followed by the words "ALL ABORAD TO THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!" startling him. Soon after, the beast rolled away with great speed. Surprised, he jumps behind the nearest behind the nearest rock charging a bolt of chaotic energy, soon after releasing at the last know location of the beast. Nearby inhabitants of the village rushed to investigate the blast. Realizing his mistake he ran back for the dark, dense forest, running for what seemed like almost an hour. He stumbled as it began to rain coming across a great ruin. Closing the massive doors he quickly took shelter, and started a small fire fueled by broken furniture. He created a makeshift bed lying his head down he quickly fell to slumber. Appearing back in his home clan he is quickly bombarded by the smell of burning wood and flesh. Running in horror he finds the shaman laying on the ground under a heavy wooden pole that once held the once great temple of his people. Using his magic he lifts the pole and runs to the shaman, keeling to his mentor the shaman speaks "You have failed us all.". With a bright flash a dark blue figure appeared "All is not lost for thou yet, for you can find peace here with your people." she spoke in a kind and genital tone, easing his fear. Author's Note This is my first fanfiction so please leave comments on how I can improve. This is also based on the next generation children of the mane six. Lunar dreams"Who are you!" he yelled to the figure. "I am princess Luna, and might I ask your name?" the figure replied in the same tone as before. Hesitating in his own response he mustered up his pride and spoke "I am navnik ixen, acolyte to the Bloodfang shaman.". After a few moments the figure landed and walked closer to navnik ixen "Your an odd one to see in Equestria, what brings you here?" spoke princess Luna with slightly more curiosity. "And you are one to speak with both wings to your back and bone from your head?" navnik ixen questioned backing away from Luna. Giggling Luna halted raising an eyebrow, "Normally one would bow or be quaking in their boots." Luna spoke looking at navnik ixen's form. "I have faced far worse than a single mare." navnik ixen exclaimed, reaching for his staff. Continuing his questioning he spoke in a commanding tone, "And from were are you speaking to me from?" Raising a hand to her hip, she replies, "From Canterlot, were else?". Grabbing his staff navnik ixen swings it at her head, grinning as the staff connects to Luna's left temple. "Never stood a blazen' chance" navnik ixen mumbled to himself before spinning around in surprise to Luna's voice. "For what purpose was that?" Luna spoke up in a more hostile tone, rising from the ground. Stammering navnik ixen responded "H-how could you recover so quickly?". Flapping her wings Luna flew at navnik ixen knocking him to the ground. "DID YOU NOT THINK WE WOULD NOT SUSPECT AN ATTACK FROM THEE?!" Luna roared at ear shattering volumes. Surprised navnik ixen moved away in a crimson mist, before reasemleing a distance away. "I will not fall to you!" he yelled as the soil turned to gray dust. Charging at him Luna materialized a long straight sword. Smirking he sorrounded himself in a crimson mist. "By Celestia." Luna gasped, halting as a large, black metal figure appeared from the mist. "And from the ashes of failure we will rise." the figure spoke in deeper tone. Gasping Luna backed away "What are you creature?" she asked in a frightened voice. "So lost is confidence in the face of defeate, I am navnik ixen of the Bloodfang clan and I will not tell you again." navnik ixen spoke in a calm, unforgiving tone. "We shalt see, the sun rises fool" Luna spoke before disappearing. Roaring navnik ixen blasted a nearby bolder, turning it to rubble. Fire at will"We should be getting close to Equestria now." Twilight stated "Thank heavens, I hope the spa will be open." Rarity said with slight glee. Looking around Spirit fire spoke up "Your decision draws near to end." he stated. "ixen sva geou!" yelled a feminine voice. "Again, kepla'nas ihk ripeik!" Spirit fire yelled. Summoning his blade and armor, and blasting arrows out of the air with a stream of red lightning. "itrewic astahi ekess tokeqwim!" he yelled to a nearby archer. "axun ushakal!" the archer responded. "Hello brother." growled a deep voice. Wiping around Spirit fire ducked in time to dodge a bladed staff. "neban!" Spirit fire yelled as he swung his blade in furry. "It was our duty to maintain the balance of life and death or do you forget your oath!" he continued wildly swinging his blade at the stallion. "You killed my mother, but you will not break me!" Spirit fire yelled as his blade connected with a bolt of magic deflecting it into the dark figure. "And now our ancestors will judge you as you travel to the land of our fallen brothers and sisters." he stated fury lining his voice before beheading the dark stallion. "I don't fall to a simple beheading fool." the headless stallion stated startling Spirit fire. "I was wrong to ever call you brother after the oath, jaka loreat!" Spirit fire stated blasting a large bolt of magic fainting as it collided with the stallion obliterating him. "Will he be alright?" Twilight asked fearfully. "Yes he will recover, but this magnitude of spell shock is like nothing I've ever seen." spoke a white mare in a calming voice. "pothoc sepa jeskic." Spirit fire groaned rising to a sitting position. "Well that was a fast recovery!" exclaimed the white mare. "Thanyk you, but were am I? Spirit fire asked. "Ponyville hospital urgent care, and this is nurse Red heart." Twilight answered walking towards him. "Very well, but where are the Bloodfangs." Spirit fire asked concerned. "Here in Ponyville, safe and sound." Twilight responded. "Good, good I hope they get along with you ponies." Spirit fire remarked sarcastically.
Harmony and the ForsakenGasping navnik ixen rose to his feet, the fire now only a pile of ash. Groaning he walked to his bag "What was that "Thing"" he muttered to himself. "Oh hey Twi!" yelled a rainbow maned Pegasus from a cloud. Looking up Twilight Sparkle grined "oh hey Rainbow Dash, you still coming over for lunch today?!" she yelled back. Fling down and landing Rainbow Dash responded "Heck ya i'm still coming, isn't the others?". "Well ya just with Princess Luna coming over to talk I wasn't sure." Twilight responded sheepishly. "I see I am almost late Twilight Sparkle." Luna spoke up landing beside the two. "Oh Princess Luna you're here!" Twilight and Dash exclaimed in surprise. In her usually calm voice "I must speak with you and your friends immediately, in your castle preferably." Luna commanded. "Alright princess, i'll get the girls." Dash exclaimed. Sitting five mares sat in their respective chairs. "Alright sugar cube what's this all about?" Asked a orange farm pony as Twilight entered the room. "Well Princess Luna just told me that there's some weird creature in the Everfree forest." Twilight gulped before continuing "and she said that he seems to attack on sight." Twilight finished nervously. In a rush of excitement Rainbow bolted from her chair "well what are we waiting for?" she asked looking back. "Darling we don't know what this ruffian can do." replied Rarity, flipping her purple mane out of her face. "O-o-o a guessing game, can he fly, maybe Mph." started Pinkie Pie before Applejack stuffed a pancake in her face silencing her. "He can form into a mist and transform into what appears to be a metal creature." Explained Princess Luna "you should approach him with great caution." she finished. "Well I guess we should get going before dose anypony harm." Twilight stated shakily. Looking though a mountain of old tomes Spiritfire read over some protection spells, while eating soup made from herbs from the forest. "This might prove useful." he mumbled to himself. Reading over the spell multiple times before attempting it. Roaring loudly as he cast the spell "What magic is this?" he whispered to him self clutching his left arm. Looking down at his arm he realized his mistake "how could I forget to change the light elements into chaotic elements?" he mumbled. "Um, girls did you hear that?" asked Fluttershy in her usually meek tone. Looking around, Twilight stated "Well Princess Luna did say he had dragon like features." in a quiet voice. The six bares jumped back the sight of a crimson glow. "That looks like it came the castle." Twilight stated. Gasping they saw a black streak across the sky. "PRISM BOLT GET DOWN HERE!" Rainbow Dash yelled at the top of her lungs. The girls rushed off seeing that Blitz wasn't stopping. Hearing a large crash Spiritfire moved to investigate. "What in blazes?" navnik ixen spoke quietly seeing a black, rainbow maned stallion. He quickly turned into a small squirrel, moving closer to the stallion. The stallion started stirring "Well that could have gone better" the stallion stated chuckling. As he got up Prisim Bolt looked at the squirrel "Well usually they run." he stated as the doors burst open frightening navnik ixen. Rainbow Dash glared at Prisim angerly. "I told you to get down." rainbow scolded Prism. "U-um girls." Twilight stammered pointing at the squirrel as it glowed. "You appear similar to the one in my dream." navnik ixen stated forming back into his true form. Gasping all seven ponies stepped back "But with nowhere near her ferocity." he continued. "W-what was her name?" Twilight asked. Looking at her sternly Spiritfire responded "Luna.". navnik ixen roared before charging Twilight. Twilight gasped as she flew up. "Nether from ground nor sky I will not FALL!" He yelled hurling a ball of magic at Twilight. Moving out of the way Twilight noticed the magic reducing a section of wall reduced to rubble. Prism Bolt charged navnik ixen knocking him to the ground. Yelling navnik ixen surrounded himself in a crimson mist soon emerging as a suit of metal armor with red glowing eyes. "And from the ashes of defeat we shall rise." Stated navnik ixen in a deep, menacing voice. "You real think he's in there?" asked a white dragon-pony hybrid mare. "Well were else could he be Clare?" Asked a tall green stallion with similar features. Yelling in rage navnik ixen hurled a fist at Prism. Missing his mark navnik ixen stumbled and roared in pain as Twilight hit him square in the back with magic. Soon the spell dissipated reviling an unconscious hybrid. "Well we might want to restrain him." Said Twilight gasping for breath. "I'll get my rope." Applejack responded blankly. "Clare, Turquoise what in tarnation was that." asked a golden brown earth stallion. Looking back surprised Turquoise responded "don't know, but lets find out.". Walking into the castle the three noticed Prism Bolt being scolded by his mother Rainbow Dash, and five other mares sitting around. "What's goin' on here?" asked the golden brown stallion. "Oh Golden Delicious, nothin' much right now sugar cube." answered Applejack slightly surprised by the appearance of her son. Groaning navnik ixen slowly woke up, faintly remembering the battle before. "I-i yeald." he spoke softly with a defeated tone. Gasping the others looked as his restraints undid themselves and he rose to his feet. Turning to Twilight he fell to one knee "by my honor I must serve you until such a time you release me." He spoke in a calmer tone than before.
Joining harmony"Wait what?" Twilight asked in confusion. "My code of honor dictates that if one should defeate me on the field of battle I must follow them for one moon." explained navnik ixen raising to his feet. "Well now that's out of the way, we should get back to town." Applejack stated, picking up her rope and placing it in her bag. "If it is her wish." navnik ixen responded motioning his hand toward Twilight. "Well, while we're here we could clean up a bit more." Twilight stated cheerfully. "If that is your wish then I would like to continue my studies." navnik ixen stated if a calm, flat tone. Staring at him Twilight nodded in approval. Mumbling to himself navnik ixen raised his hand with a shadowy mist forming, then solidifying to form an black and red shield in his left hand. "Heya!" Pinke Pie yelled startling navnik ixen. Jumping up navnik ixen riased his shadow shield and prepared a magic blast. "By the blood of my ancestors!" he yelled at Pinkie. Calming down, the shield disapated "sorry miss uhh..., sorry but I never got your name." he stated in his normal, calm tone. "Oh silly me, I'm Pinkie Pie but you can just call me Pinkie." Pinkie replied cheerfully. "Very well Miss. Pie." navnik ixen replied. Coming up the stairs Twilight entered the room, shocked to see Pinkie reading though a book. "Well this might be the first time anypony got Pinkie to read a book." Twilight stated in astonishment. "Miss. Pie is simply looking though some recipes I found in these ruins." navnik ixen stated looking up from his book. "Well we're about to head back to town." Twilight responded. Getting up navnik ixen started packing his bag, nodding in a silent response. "Okie dokie." Pinkie said jumping down the stairs. Chuckling to himself navnik ixen continued packing his bag. "Might I know your names" navnik ixen asked on the way out of the castle. Looking at him Twilight spoke up "well you met Pinke already." she stated pointing to th jubilant pink mare. Pointing at Applejack "and that's Applejack.". "Nice to meet ya." Applejack spoke up "and this is my son Golden Delicious." patting Golden on the back. navnik ixen looked over his shoulder, not breaking his pace. Pointing to her left Twilight continued "this is Rarity, and her children Crystal Clareity and Torquise." she stated pointing to the green stallion as well as a pale white mare and a light purple mare beside her. "Hybrids tell me, are treated any differently here?" navnik ixen spoke up curiously. "Well not really darling..." Clareity spoke up before being cut off by her brother. "Except for some of the all high and mighty noble ponies around town." Torquise stated furiously. "I see." navnik ixen mumbled. Pointing to her right Twilight continued carefully "and finally the shy mare is Fluttershy and beside her is Rainbow Dash.". "Um..., hi." Fluttershy said quietly. "And this little speedster is Prism Bolt." Dash stated firmly. "Yes, sir crash-a-lot I've met him, not to mention he knocked me to the ground." navnik ixen stated with a slight chuckle. They continued in silence for what seemed like hours. "Well here's Fluttershy's cottage." Twilight stated with a slight yawn. Returning to town the mares all went home wile Spiritfire walked beside Twilight. "I never got your name." navnik ixen spoke up breaking the silence. Stammering Twilight responded slapping her face "I'm so, so sorry I'm Twilight Sparkle.". Nodding navnik ixen walked on in silence. After a few minutes the duo came to Twilight's castle. "So this is the crystal structure I saw before." Spiritfire spoke after a good five minutes. Opening the door Spike a small, green and purple dragon smiled and cried out "Twilight you're back, I was getting worried!". Looking confused Spike whispered something in Twilight's ear as she bent down. Giggling Twilight explained the presence of Spiritfire.
Daughter of the nightnavnik ixen grunted as he was thrown to the ground. "You fall this day abomination!" his attacker yelled charging navnik ixen. Clambering to his feet navnik ixen raised his staff swinging it to knock the attack away. Connecting the blow navnik ixen spoke into the figure's ear "I will not fall to a Soulfang." he stated calmly. With a white, blinding flash he covered his eyes. "Not this again." navnik ixen groaned. "So will you attack me like you did my mother, or will you listen?" the figure asked. "And before you ask I am Princess Nidra." the figure stated with slight annoyance. Looking at Nidra navnik ixen stated "no, I will not." navnik ixen paused looking at the ground. Looking back up he continued "truthfully I should not have attacked your mother, I should have been prepared to attack, but learn more about her first." he wrapped up crossing his arms. "Well that's nice." Nidra informed him. "I'd prefer not to do too much." she continued, wiping down her dress. "But, it is costumary for two warriors to test their metal aginst each other." navnik ixen stated blankly, before continuing "will you do me this simple honor?" He asked giving a slight bow. "Oh very well." Nidra stated with a obvious groan. Turning to navnik ixen she summoned a silver short sword. Scoffing navnik ixen spoke up "You may want some armor.". Turning into a crimson most he emerged with both shiny black and crimsion armor and blade. "Just don't run like your mother.". Saying no more navnik ixen moved to a battle stance. "I'd prefer not to do this but here we go." Nidra stated raising her sword arm, while starting to glimmer in a bright, silver light. Moving forward Nidra appeared in black and silver plate armor. Looking up her new appearance stunned navnik ixen shook his head clearing his mind. "The armor suites you." navnik ixen complemented. After a few moments he charged roaring. Copying him Nidra charged swinging her blade. "Your form is sloppy and undisciplined, watch your defense, and for the love of my ancestors stop missing me." navnik ixen pointed out in slight agitation. "It would help if you didn't dodge every attack." Nidra protested before being knocked to the ground. Getting up Nidra gasped as she heard a familiar voice. "You could do better Nidra." Luna pointed out landing softly on the ground. "M-mother what are you doing here?" Nidra exclamed in surprise. "You said I could do this my self!" Nidra screamed at Luna. "And you are, I am merely observing." Luna replied in a calm tone. "Nice job by the way, the guards aren't able to knock so much sense into her." Luna commented turning to navnik ixen as he dispelled the armor and blade. "I see the resemblance between you two." navnik ixen stated in a flat tone. "Well thank you, I hope to see you in person soon." Luna replied before turning to see a startled Nidra. Looking at navnik ixen's arm Luna gasped. "What happened?" she asked moving to take a better look at the arm. "My right of passage." navnik ixen stated. Seeing their confused expressions he continued "My people's coming of age is the replacement os a limb or a eye by cybernetic enhancement.". "My arm improves stength and arcane abilities, as well as allowing me to interface with equipment." He finished pulling up his right sleeve to expose the metal arm. "Why your arm?" Nidra asked with a shaky voice. "It's my sword arm, I can hit harder." navnik ixen explained. "Does Twilight Sparkle know?" Luna asked calming down from her shock. Looking at his arm navnik ixen shook his head and replied "No, Ms.Sparkle does not know yet." Pausing for a moment he looked back up from his arm while releasing his sleeve, allowing it to drop. "I plan to inform her and her friends in the morning." he finished. "Speaking of witch it is almost dawn I must lower the moon, until we meet again." Luna stated before the dream disapated. Waking up navnik ixen walked over to his window, in time to see the rising son. "Perhaps maybe, just maybe." he stated walking to the door.
Rual to urbanAuthor's Note Follow the link for the translations of draconic to common http://draconic.twilightrealm.com/ Rual to urban Walking into the kitchen navnik ixen used his magic to fire up the stove. Humming to himself he began to mix batter with several herbs. "ancestors majak ve dastudr naeck." he mumbled to himself. "What?" Spike groaned walking into the kitchen. "What's that smell" he asked while navnik ixen moved to make tea. Turning around navnik ixen spoke up "Mel'nakit moxt ir.". Seeing Spike's confused expression he explained with a smile "It means, good morning little one.". "Oh well good morning then, I'm Spike." Spike stated feeling a bit more awake. "Usually I cook." he stated with a chuckle. "I figured I'd make myself useful while ms. Sparkle rest, by the way it's almost ready." navnik ixen stated. Moving a few platters into the main dinning hall he and Spike continued to talk until a knock was herd. "Mom usually not awake yet." stated a unfamiliar voice. "Anyways I live here we don't need to knock." the voice continued with slightly more anoyance. "She's in one of those moods." Spike pointed out with a sigh. "Ssejinw." navnik ixen commanded in a low aggressive tone. navnik ixen watched has a orange Pegasus and Turquoise walked in. "Pok!" he yelled. Upon hearing him the pair stopped in their tracks. "What?" asked Turquoise cocking his head. "Must I explain everything." navnik ixen stated with great annoyance. "Pok means halt." he explained calming down. Exchanging confused looks the pair stood still. "Wait, your aura resembles ms. Sparkle's." he stated calming his stance. Glaring at Spiritfire the orange Pegasus spoke up "Well I live here, and before you ask my name is Starburst!" the mare practically screamed. "What was that?" Twilight asked walking down the corridor with half closed eyes. "Starburst, oh that's what I forgot last night." She continued with a sudden look of remembrance. "Well ms. Starburst I am navnik ixen of the Bloodfang clan, and to clear any confusion to my presence I am honor bound to protect ms. Sparkle for a moon." Spiritfire explained taking a more professional stance. "Oh Spike, can you stand by the door and wait for the others?" Twilight asked turning to the small dragon. "Alright and um what was it?" Spike asked turning to navnik ixen. "Mel'nakit." navnik ixen answered. Thanking him Spike ran for the door as another knock sounded. "We're all here darling." Rarity chirped happily. All fifteen ponies took seats at the table. "Spike darling it smell like you really outdid yourself this time." Rarity stated "Na, he cooked today." Spike replied pointing to navnik ixen. "Vinxa, thank you" navnik ixen responded with a slight nod. "What language was that." Twilight asked looking at the platters. "An ancient draconic tongue used by my people." navnik ixen explaned, levitating the platter covers to reveal the the biscuits beneath. Continuing his spell he levitated a biscuit to each plate. "The recipe is on of my mother's with slight changes to some ingredients." he continued. Every one ate in silance humming in approval to the biscuits. Breaking the silence Twilight spoke up "Well is everypony ready to go to Canterlot?" she asked earning an confused glance from Spiritfire. "Oh princess Luna said she needed me and the girls for something." Twilight explained. "Affirmative, I will prepare for the journey." navnik ixen stated before leaving for his room. "Does he have to come?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes he does, it's his whole honor code." Twilight explained. "re wux khru?" asked a old, raspy voice projecting from an old figure Laying on a bed. "filki zahae, yth re heading ihk wer capital si geou renthisj mrith asta leaders." navnik ixen explained in a hushed tone. "si geou update wux shafaer karifilt developments." he stated before the figure disapeared. "All aboard for Canterlot!" screamed a stallion at the head of the train. "What is this?" navnik ixen asked moving toward the train. "It's a train silly." giggled Pinkie Pie bouncing onto the train. After about twenty minutes Twilight spoke up "Well we should be there soon." she trailed off looking at navnik ixen before asking "Hey navnik ixen you ok?". "kepla'nas doutani, prepare yourselves the sepa jeskic grow near." navnik ixen stated flatly just before the train came to a sudden halt. "vorq rilvelklar!" shouted a loud voice after a few moments. "ehtah navnik ixen!" shouted the same voice. "What the hay are they saying?" Applejack asked. "Look everywhere, find navnik ixen." navnik ixen responded in a hushed voice. "They're looking for me." he continued quietly. "si mi tenpiswo!" he yelled before bolting off the train. "wiilirk jacion!" the loud voice commanded as the invaders left the train to follow Spiritfire. "Must they use that language?" Rarity asked. "axun." navnik ixen stated shortly after the train started up. "It is all they know, malairi." he continued with a chuckle. Seeing Twilight's confused expression navnik ixen explained the illusion of him running away. After another peaceful twenty minutes the train arrived with a booming voice stating "Canterlot station!". "Good we'er here." Twilight stated with a yawn. "I must speak with Princess Luna, she has already requested my presence." navnik ixen stated. "Alright see you tomorrow." Twilight replied moving to her room. "Your highness." navnik ixen stated taking a knee and bowing his head. Looking up Luna gave a nod to her guards before speaking "Good thou art here, shall we begin?".
The blessing of oldAuthor's Note Inspiration from SteampunkBrony's The Vampony chronicles The blessing of old "What do you wish to speak of?" navnik ixen asked. Giggling Luna motioned for him to rise. "About a very old spell I designed to help better protect Equestria." Luna explained as navnik ixen rose to his feet. "More specifically it made the blessed stronger, faster, and quicker to react." she continued grabbing a large tome and levitating it to navnik ixen. Looking at the tome Spiritfire turned to a marked page. "I may be able to adapt the spell for my own aura to prevent any harm to myself." navnik ixen mumbled. Taking a small pice of parchment he began to write runes in a vertical line. Holding up the revised spell he began to charge the spell, being engulfed by a crimson flame. "navnik ixen?" Luna asked, concern lining her voice. Getting up navnik ixen groaned with patches of the flame still lingering. "I'm fine." navnik ixen stated rotating his wrist. Grabbing his staff and leaning on it for support he spoke up "I just need some rest now.". Charging a hooded figure yelled "wux loreat jaka!". "No please!" Twilight screamed waking from her sleep. Within moments navnik ixen barged in staff in hand. "I'm fine, just a bad dream." she explained. Nodding navnik ixen left the room as Twilight went back to sleep. "wux loreat jaka!" yelled once more just before being impaled on a blade. "Dreams are not only Luna's domain." navnik ixen stated as the figure dissipated. "It is the shamans role to insure the mental and physical well being." he continued after noticing Twilight's confused expression. "So your shaman acts as the protector of your dreams?" Twilight asked "Yes and no." stated navnik ixen. "The shaman does not protect our dreams, but he does ensure a peaceful sleep." he finished. "So you to can enter dreams?" Luna asked appearing from a ball of silver light. "Apart from being self conscious of my dreams, yes." navnik ixen answered. "Shall we speak of this blessing now so all hear in one setting." he asked "So when you attacked me you were aware it was a dream?" Luna asked. "Yes and no, sometimes it is hard for me to differentiate dream from reality." navnik ixen pointed out. Looking around he noticed Twilight shuffle uncomfortably. Wordlessly navnik ixen and Luna disappeared and materialized on a empty silver plane. "The moon?" navnik ixen asked confused by his surroundings. "Yes, we can discus the blessing privately here." Luna explained. Looking on Luna noticed fangs forming in navnik ixen's mouth. "It's developing far faster than we would have thought." Luna stated with a look of curiosity. "Anyways the blessing will make you stronger, faster and make you immune to dark magic's corruptive effects, but you will need to drink blood once a month, more if you fight alot." Luna finished. "Now we must take our leave, it is dawn." Luna spoke before disappearing. "mel'nakit thurkiitu" navnik ixen greeted Twilight as she left here room.
Dawn of blood"Equestria seems to be good for our people." navnik ixen stated to a hooded female figure. "I know, my mother however will not leave the Bloodfangs behind." the figure stated. "Then i'll convince the shaman, don't worry pab charis, or should I just call you water hope?" navnik ixen asked. With a small giggle water hope continued "just hope, Spirit fire.". Nodding Hope faded. "opsola." Spirit fire said taking a knee. "sia deevdru." the old figure responded before coughing. "si tepoha ehtaha vi z'ar okarthel." Spirit fire stated rising. "nomag wer iejir welun soves wux." Spirit fire continued. "qe kepla'nasa ihk hesi confnir." Spirit fire's father ordered. "mobi re lyriki tenpiswo, slathalin ergriff sjek wux zklaen." Spirit fire pleaded. "zi algbo navnik ixen." the figure said before dispersing. "Tia you know she's been wanting a personal guard for some time!" Luna shouted. "It would give her more experience withe command." Spirit fire pointed out. "By the way my people are coming I must escort them here, so please keep Twilight safe." he finished. "Why doesn't she go with you to start building relations." Celestia asked waving her hand. "I can see how that would benefit everypony, I can still protect her, positive ties are built, and she might be able to do some research." Spirit fire stated before continuing "then we set off immediately.". "You need wings to get to the west faster." Luna pointed out. "I've got that covered." Spirit fire replied earning a confused stare from the royal sisters. Smiling Spirit fire summoned crimson mist emerging with armor and draconic wings. "It would seem the blessing affected my shadow spells. "All these books...." Twilight moaned groggily. Smirking to himself Spirit fire yelled "Atten-TION!" Screaming Twilight fell out of her bed, her wings stiff with fright. Laughing maniacally Spirit fire almost fell over before bracing himself on the door frame. "navnik ixen, what was that for?!" Twilight yelled throwing a pillow at him. "Come we must leave, Princess Celestia's orders." Spirit fire stated calming down. Moving down the corridor they came to a stop outside Celesia's bedroom. "We should go." Spirit fire suggested not wanting to anger the white princess. "Is that yelling?" Twilight asked hearing a faint sound. Suddenly Spirit fire went into a dive bomb crashing onto several stallions. Screaming he lifted the stallions before ripping them to shreds. "navnik ixen stop!" Twilight yelled as she landed. "loreat iejir jesk bikil!" an armored figure yelled swinging a massive sword at the two. "si nishka ti wielg ekess vi sepa jesk!" Spirit fire yelled summoning his shadow blade. As the blades clashed a arrow pierced the metal figure. "tiichi wer zezhuanthi, wux re takh." Stated a female archer as she hugged Spirit fire. "astahii confna de thric jahen." the archer whimpered, burring her face in his shoulder. "petranas letoclo navnik ixen." the archer pleaded looking up into Spirit fire's glowing eyes. "si geou, shar itrewic jacioniv ekess tokeqwim." Spirit fire commanded. "Go with her she'll take you to safety." Sprit fire ordered before rushing to battle. "Come on girls the map sent us all this way." Applejack stated in a gallop. "pok!" yelled the archer. "Twilight!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "si gavir wux pok!" the archer yelled causing all five mares to stop. "Wait their my friends!" Twilight yelled stepping in front of the archer. "zi algbo." the archer said lowering her bow. "wer vargach ui ultrinninana opsola." Spirit fire stated kneeling before his father as twilight and her friends stepped in. "opsola nomenoi re thurirli, astahii waph persvek nomeno thaczil." Spirit fire stated waving his hand at the group of mares. "It's nice to meet you sir." Twilight said walking forward. "coi ui d'nag ekess tafiaf wux ushakal." Spirit fire translated. "si charis yth shilta qe xihuuliup di nomeno thaczil." Spirit fire's father stated. "My father hopes to be worthy of this land." Spirit fire said. "and my father's name is soul fire." He pointed out. "Well I hope for the best for your clan Soul fire." Twilight stated. "algbo si charis ihk wer bensvelkilti ihk dout clan sepa ixen." Spirit fire translated before a small filly burst in. "navnik ixen wux re spical!" the filly yelled hugging Spirit fire's leg. "mobi wux re moxt ir." Spirit fire chucked as he picked up the filly. "Everypony this is star fire or isk ixen." he stated with a grin. Turning back to hi father Spirit fire spoke "re yth krathin ekess yoscam?" he asked with fear lining his voice. "axun." Soul fire replied weakly. With a sigh of relief Spirit fire yelled out side "kepatmasto origato udoka yoscam ihk hesi z'ar okarthel!". Within minutes everyone was moving with warriors marching on the perimeter. "vur naeck dianic persvek iejir." Spirit fire mumbled. "What was that?" Twilight asked. "Sorry, this was not a good way for you all to meet my people." Spirit fire replied. "and today dawns in blood is an old saying use if a day opens in bloodshed." he finnished.
The journey beginsA tall, dark gray, pony-dragon hybrid makes his way though the Everfree forest of Equestria, leaning slightly on his hand made staff out of slight exhaustion. His travels had brought him from his home clan known as the Bloodfangs, all the way to this unknown land of vegetation much unlike his home. He'd been tracking what he could only describe as a large beast made of crystals. Following the beast to a small village where it was resting. Moving up to investigate the sleeping beast, he slowly reaches out a clawed, rough hand. Touching the beast's smooth, shiny surface a loud roar erupted from the front of the beast followed by the words "ALL ABORAD TO THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!" startling him. Soon after, the beast rolled away with great speed. Surprised, he jumps behind the nearest behind the nearest rock charging a bolt of chaotic energy, soon after releasing at the last know location of the beast. Nearby inhabitants of the village rushed to investigate the blast. Realizing his mistake he ran back for the dark, dense forest, running for what seemed like almost an hour. He stumbled as it began to rain coming across a great ruin. Closing the massive doors he quickly took shelter, and started a small fire fueled by broken furniture. He created a makeshift bed lying his head down he quickly fell to slumber. Appearing back in his home clan he is quickly bombarded by the smell of burning wood and flesh. Running in horror he finds the shaman laying on the ground under a heavy wooden pole that once held the once great temple of his people. Using his magic he lifts the pole and runs to the shaman, keeling to his mentor the shaman speaks "You have failed us all.". With a bright flash a dark blue figure appeared "All is not lost for thou yet, for you can find peace here with your people." she spoke in a kind and genital tone, easing his fear. Author's Note This is my first fanfiction so please leave comments on how I can improve. This is also based on the next generation children of the mane six.
Lunar dreams"Who are you!" he yelled to the figure. "I am princess Luna, and might I ask your name?" the figure replied in the same tone as before. Hesitating in his own response he mustered up his pride and spoke "I am navnik ixen, acolyte to the Bloodfang shaman.". After a few moments the figure landed and walked closer to navnik ixen "Your an odd one to see in Equestria, what brings you here?" spoke princess Luna with slightly more curiosity. "And you are one to speak with both wings to your back and bone from your head?" navnik ixen questioned backing away from Luna. Giggling Luna halted raising an eyebrow, "Normally one would bow or be quaking in their boots." Luna spoke looking at navnik ixen's form. "I have faced far worse than a single mare." navnik ixen exclaimed, reaching for his staff. Continuing his questioning he spoke in a commanding tone, "And from were are you speaking to me from?" Raising a hand to her hip, she replies, "From Canterlot, were else?". Grabbing his staff navnik ixen swings it at her head, grinning as the staff connects to Luna's left temple. "Never stood a blazen' chance" navnik ixen mumbled to himself before spinning around in surprise to Luna's voice. "For what purpose was that?" Luna spoke up in a more hostile tone, rising from the ground. Stammering navnik ixen responded "H-how could you recover so quickly?". Flapping her wings Luna flew at navnik ixen knocking him to the ground. "DID YOU NOT THINK WE WOULD NOT SUSPECT AN ATTACK FROM THEE?!" Luna roared at ear shattering volumes. Surprised navnik ixen moved away in a crimson mist, before reasemleing a distance away. "I will not fall to you!" he yelled as the soil turned to gray dust. Charging at him Luna materialized a long straight sword. Smirking he sorrounded himself in a crimson mist. "By Celestia." Luna gasped, halting as a large, black metal figure appeared from the mist. "And from the ashes of failure we will rise." the figure spoke in deeper tone. Gasping Luna backed away "What are you creature?" she asked in a frightened voice. "So lost is confidence in the face of defeate, I am navnik ixen of the Bloodfang clan and I will not tell you again." navnik ixen spoke in a calm, unforgiving tone. "We shalt see, the sun rises fool" Luna spoke before disappearing. Roaring navnik ixen blasted a nearby bolder, turning it to rubble.
Fire at will"We should be getting close to Equestria now." Twilight stated "Thank heavens, I hope the spa will be open." Rarity said with slight glee. Looking around Spirit fire spoke up "Your decision draws near to end." he stated. "ixen sva geou!" yelled a feminine voice. "Again, kepla'nas ihk ripeik!" Spirit fire yelled. Summoning his blade and armor, and blasting arrows out of the air with a stream of red lightning. "itrewic astahi ekess tokeqwim!" he yelled to a nearby archer. "axun ushakal!" the archer responded. "Hello brother." growled a deep voice. Wiping around Spirit fire ducked in time to dodge a bladed staff. "neban!" Spirit fire yelled as he swung his blade in furry. "It was our duty to maintain the balance of life and death or do you forget your oath!" he continued wildly swinging his blade at the stallion. "You killed my mother, but you will not break me!" Spirit fire yelled as his blade connected with a bolt of magic deflecting it into the dark figure. "And now our ancestors will judge you as you travel to the land of our fallen brothers and sisters." he stated fury lining his voice before beheading the dark stallion. "I don't fall to a simple beheading fool." the headless stallion stated startling Spirit fire. "I was wrong to ever call you brother after the oath, jaka loreat!" Spirit fire stated blasting a large bolt of magic fainting as it collided with the stallion obliterating him. "Will he be alright?" Twilight asked fearfully. "Yes he will recover, but this magnitude of spell shock is like nothing I've ever seen." spoke a white mare in a calming voice. "pothoc sepa jeskic." Spirit fire groaned rising to a sitting position. "Well that was a fast recovery!" exclaimed the white mare. "Thanyk you, but were am I? Spirit fire asked. "Ponyville hospital urgent care, and this is nurse Red heart." Twilight answered walking towards him. "Very well, but where are the Bloodfangs." Spirit fire asked concerned. "Here in Ponyville, safe and sound." Twilight responded. "Good, good I hope they get along with you ponies." Spirit fire remarked sarcastically.
