The dragon's Fire Pub
"Get the bloody hell off my bar the god damned Dwarven Bastards. This is a respectable pub not a fucking brothel that you can do anything at!" yells a voice from behind a bar as a glass is thrown and hits the back of a drunken dwarf. This causes the dwarf to go out cold and fall off onto the floor with a loud thud as his comrades look at the bartender.
"Lassie, it ain't our fault if ye regulars can't fight us folk fairly in a bar fight." yells one dwarf still on the bar as he swings a meaty fist which collides with an ugly orcs skull making the orc grunt as he goes back and is hit with a chair by a centaur who had been bumped by the orc. The orc thuds to the ground with a groan as splinters and blood fly in the air.
The lady behind the bar yells, "I don't give two fucks if it is a fair or unfair fight. This is my establishment and I am this close to taking out my bow and showing you how an arrow up your ass hurts you ungrateful little pricks. I swear to all the gods that you lot cause more trouble than the satyrs every summer when they come looking for woman from the village."
The dwarf chuckles and says, as he kicks a human who had almost punched him between the legs causing the human to fall onto a couple of his friends who begin to beat him up in turn, "Well lassie, I can't argue you on that but me lads and me are willing to pay for all the damage and even give ye a bit extra so we can come back again."
The lady groans as she puts a hand on her head and rubs it before saying, "This is the last god damn time or I swear that I am calling the Adventurers Guild and telling them to revoke your license again."
She turns around and grabs a couple of mugs to fill up with some nice frothy ale before she turns and heads out from behind the counter towards a table in the corner nearest the door to deliver her drinks.
The light from one of the windows catches her and shows her nice figure to those around her as she walks towards the table.
Her beautiful red hair caught the light making it look light the autumn leaves which clung to her hair lightly, her red eyes also made her look quite nice with how they glowed lightly with the glimmer of light touched them. Her fair pale skin made her look delicate like a doll if not for the hint of muscle that showed on her arms and legs which told that she knew how to handle herself when it came to a fight. Her nice red silk outfit was unblemished and looked almost brand new but with how she wore it so easily told that it had been worn for years. The dress went down to about her knees before it cut off. On her feet were a pair of black boots that were of the finest leather that money could buy.
She was an elf and one of the finest that many patrons had ever seen in the realm. The patrons knew this elf as one of the fairest maidens in the land and the most dangerous. She was one of the most legendary adventurers that had ever lived and yet one day she gave up questing and opened the tavern that became famous in a day. The tavern that would never be empty and was always full of adventurers, civilians, and nobles for the best drinks, food, and songs around. But the main reason they all came was this elf. The elf known simply as The Huntress. No one knew her name and yet everyone wanted to know.
Rumors of her grand adventures with kinds, gods, and even aliens were told by many but the problem was that all who knew her name had promised to tell no one for if they did, rumor had it that she killed them.
The elven lady walked through the crowd in her bad that was currently in a bar fight with ease as she dodges each glass, chair, fist, kick, drop of blood, and even person with such nimble and graceful movement until she arrived at the table where she places the two glasses of her finest ale in front of the cloaked male near her door and she says, "Two Wizard's brews right here sir. I do warn you that these brew's are each gonna cause something weird and yet amazing to happen if you drink them. I am warning you ahead of time just to make sure you know."
The cloaked figure chuckles as he says, "My dear Huntress, I know what these do to mortals such as your patrons but I for one love them since they cause such chaos to happen just from drinking it. It makes me always feel better when I come here and can get a little fun out of drinking. Most drinks don't even allow me to get drunk."
The elven lady smiles as she says, "You always say that when you come here dear Discord. You make it sound like you are a god but I know of you from any of the realms. That and having you come here for the last 70 years tells me that your existence must be hard from where you are from."
The cloaked figure giggles weirdly before he says, "Oh that is all to true for someone such as I. I could tell you where I am from but I doubt you would like it there since there is no war, fighting, or even pair unless there is some evil that pops up after many eons of being asleep."
The Huntress says, "Why Discord that sounds like a lovely place to be but I doubt it would work for my business cause after all without drink, fighting, or anger there can be no reason for a pub to exist. A pub is a place to get away from trouble and drink, gamble, sleep, or talk your miseries away to someone who will not judge anyone so long as they can pay for what they need."
The cloaked figure looks up at her with yellow dragon like eyes and asks, "What would you say if I could put your business at a place where many adventures, problems, and action happens?"
The huntress had heard this before from him and says, "As I told you before, my business already has that and I will always see it here until the day the world is about to end. When the end comes and I think it is time to move my shop, then is when I am willing to go with your suggestion."
The cloaked figure chuckles once again weirdly before he says, "Well this time I got something for you. I think that it may be of use when that time comes."
He holds out his hand to show a small glowing crest with what looked like two winged unicorns circling each other. One was white with a picture of a sun on its butt while the other was blue with a picture of a moon on its butt. The huntress reaches out her hand to take the item as she says, "This is quite nice but I do know one thing and that is that gods do not give things away lightly. What is it you would ask for this boon you give me?"
He chuckles again before stating, "You are smart I will give you that. I ask only that when you come to where I live to cause a little bit of trouble but make it fun around their cause it gets quite boring with how calm it always is. Deal?"
He sticks out a clawed hand which looks to be like that of a gryphon as if asking her to shake on it. The huntress knew that this was quite an easy deal and that worse ones could have been asked. She stuck out her hand and shakes his as she says, "I would say that a deal like that seems to be quite fine. I hope that the end of days does not come too soon."
The cloaked figure stands up and says before snapping his talons, "You never know when it might happen but it happens at the worst times dear huntress."
She smiles as she sees him disappear and looks down to find both drinks she had set out for him were empty and yet she had never seen him drink them. She knew that meant he was a very fast person or a real god after all. Taking the two glasses back she heads back towards the bar thinking of her talk with Discord and hoping that he was wrong about the end of days.
The huntress stood outside her bar looking in the distance towards the city of Cindrassa where she saw fire and smoke coming from it. She had heard many months ago about an army of the dead and drow being formed in the Underdark but she had never thought that the adventurers sent down in the tunnels would fail so much. She had thought nothing of it at the time and had assisted everyone as best she could until rumors became facts as the evil army came to the surface and began attacking out North near the cities of Whitetower and Spiral Peak.
The Cities were amongst the most protected by magic and by soldiers since both were the main cities for training soldiers and Mages in schools. When word came that those places had fallen, she knew that this was not good and did the only thing she could. She let all adventurers, guards, and nobles come to her tavern free of charge for anything and even gave out free gear to them so as to help them in some ways in their travels to the Frontlines where a war now raged. The months went by and hope began to dwindle as cities burned, people died, and evil began to grow in numbers. The enemy had been slowed and almost pushed back at times but it always came back in force to demolish any resistance before it.
Now in front of her was the last major city left and it was falling even as she watched. She knew now that the world was doomed and that it was time for her to make her final stand. Turning around she went into her empty tavern and went into the back room where lay an old and worn chest with mildew and mold growing on it from its old age. She lays her hand on it as the sound of multiple clicks is heard and the chest opens to reveal her old gear from when she had Saved the world herself in the past when she was young and foolish.
She pulled out her armor first which she began to put on as her enchantments that were on it to begin to activate causing her to feel stronger, faster, and more protected. She began to grab all her old wondrous items and began to put them in their rightful places once again on her body until she came to her last item inside the old chest. Her bow. Her bow was a weapon far surpassing any other ever made before and it was a weapon that could kill gods with a single shot if she wished.
With one hand she grabbed it and she heard it speak to her, "It has been a long time since last we were together, my lady."
"So it has been Barbra. The world is coming to an end and it is time to fight one last time before we leave this world." stated the elven lady as her amulet activates causing her hair and body to change to fit the image of a normal elf.
"So we are going to die in combat or what?" asks the bow
"We will fight till we are over run and we will then leave for another place of safety. Hopefully meet up with others but it is doubtful if many are still alive with the army having taken out all resistance." she states as she begins to walk outside.
"Then let us spill much blood today before the sun shines down upon us and makes us gods once again." states the bow with joy.
The elf smiles as she steps outside her establishment as she looks towards the city that burned and the army heading her way and she says, "Let us have one more day of fun before we leave."
Raising her bow high, she yells, "Held Spell. Activation. Clone. Activate!"
As she yells this magic begins to glow around her as small magic's flow off her to form into human like shapes to her left and right. As the magic fades two more of her can be seen as she yells the spell again which makes two more form. She keeps yelling it over and over until to her left and right stand ten of her on each side.
Looking to her left she says, "Take out the leaders of each army area so as to make the ranks fall amongst the living. Then choose who you can and take them out without a care. We need this army to fall either in strength or numbers quickly so this world has at least some hope of surviving."
The ten on her left nods and disappear as dust pops up in a circle around where they stood from how fast they left, she than turn right and says, "Use holy magic or positive effects to take out the dead. Be careful of liches and undead dragons and take them out before they cause to much harm."
They nod as well and disappear as she sets her hands on the ground and says, "Summon Iron Golem. Summon Fire Elemental. Summon Angelic Caster. Call Animal Companion. Call contracted Companions. Call upon Goddess's Boons. Open Gates Of Healing. Activate Speed charm. Activate Nature's Boon. Activate Caster's Helper."
Each thing she called began to form around her as an Iron golem begins to rise from the ground, a fire elemental bursts into creation beside her, an angel comes from the heavens, A Dire Wolf jumps out of a portal, Some soldiers walk out of a portal in a variety of armor and weaponry, and a Magical orb floats around her as rings appear around her feet and glow strongly making her even stronger.
She turns to her companions and says, "It has been a long time everyone. I am sorry to say but it looks like this is our final stand before the armies of the Underdark attack the last havens left."
A dwarf with a scar over his eye and a large war hammer in his hands says with a throaty chuckle, "It's always best when odds are not in our favor. I can't wait to have one last fight with this old body before I die gloriously in combat."
A human in heavy armor and a mace in his hands says, "The church has fallen but faith is what is needed right now. To Fight beside you shows that our faith is at its best potential since we are all that is left of our Guild."
A female Elf in wizards robes states, "We might not live through this but we will at least fight together one last time. It is a good thing we got to see you again Amra Atrica the Archer."
Amra smiles as she says, "Let's join the fray and fight once more my friends. It is time we show the world the power that the Chaos Crusaders Guild can cause."
Her friends smile as each begins to power up for one last fight.
Amra panted where she kneeled as she looked through one blood covered eye out at what was left of the battlefield.
What was once a beautiful green forest and hilltops had turned into a black charred land from the battle that had taken place between her allies and the enemy army. Hours had gone by with both sides clashing with each other without break as the undead and Drow fought again four great heroes and their summons. The fight had been great and terrible all at the same time. Amra now was all that was left of her side as across from her stood a great and dangerous foe that was a broken as her...The Drow Lich Queen. Both were out of Mana and could not hold up much more since Amra had destroyed the Lich's falactory so that she could not come alive again.
Amra Stood up as she states, "You are defeated Lich...leave and go back to sleep before I kill you and end your life. The world is not your play thing and will never be yours."
The lich stood up and brings its swords up as it says, "The world will die by my hand and I shall rule over it when all that oppose me die. I shall kill you now and raise my army again once you fall."
The Lich yells as it charges as Amra, who raises her bow and fires off a shot which strikes the Lich causing it to fall over as it loses most of its body to her shot.
"Why...why do I die...when she promised me.....the world? S...she...promi..."the lich says before finally dying and turning into dust.
Amra falls over and leans against a stump of a tree as she pants before looking to her left and right at the bodies of her oldest friends. They had all fought alongside her once more and had died saving the world like they had done in the past. Amra looked down and saw that her bleeding had finally stopped but she knew that with no magic left she was so close to death. She closed her eyes for a second when she hears someone speak to her.
"Ma'am are you all right?"" asks a rough voice.
Amra opens her one good eye and sees a handsome human male looking down at her in his shiny steel armor as she says, "I am...okay. I am guessing you are some of the resistance that were coming to join up at Cindrassa?"
He nods and asks, "What happened here? Where is the enemy army?"
Amra smiles and says, "They are gone...the world is safe again...would you be willing to help me to my bar? I would like to be with it right now."
The man helps her up and begins to assist her towards her establishment as other follow behind and he asks, "Did...did you defeat the enemy ma'am?"
She nods and says, "Me and my old guild fought one last time to help save you all...I am the last one alive."
Those around begin to talk amongst themselves in hushed whispers before the man asks, "Who are you ma'am who was able to kill this unstoppable army?"
She smiles weakly as he sets her at her bar front and says, "I am called The Huntress. I run this bar and I am about to leave this area so as to rest in peace from the world."
The man looks confused and asks, "What do you mean ma'am? Are you dying?"
She shakes her head lightly and says, "I am going to a different world since my work here is done. I am heading there so as to rest from this and allow myself a good life away from war for now."
The man and the others look at her before the man looks ready to say something but she raises her hand. She brings out the crest given to her by Discord and says, "It is time I left this world my friends. If ever you need me. Call my name. I am Amra the Archer. I am the Huntress."
As she says these words a glow begins to engulf her and her shop as the man and the others back up in awe as she seems to become even more beautiful as she smiles. Suddenly and in a blink her shop and her disappeared in a flash of blinding light. For years to come a memorial and temple would be build where her shop once was. Many would go there to pray to the newest god on their planet. Amra the Huntress had become the most known goddess on the world and many who used the bow went out to find those artifacts she had given to adventurers. She would never know it though cause what she didn't know when she used the crest was that she would go to a new and strange universe.
Amra groaned as she opened her left eye and found herself sitting still at the opening of her bar. The light from outside her bar was a lot brighter than she had ever dealt with before. She blinks a few times before she notices that the trees, grass, flowers, houses, and even...ponies look all really bright and unrealistic. It was like a piece of art by a child with how each pony she could see was all pastel like in their colors like a sea blue, a bright pink, a flower like yellow.... It made her feel like she had taken a bad potion or something with how they all looked.
Amra groans as she sits up a little and looks at the ponies which seem not to notice her so far or her bar. It was as if magic still surrounded her place to keep it unnoticed by anyone except those who were immune to magic....like that one flying Pegasus who seemed to be staring straight at her that was snow gray with a cake like yellow mane with a picture of bubbles on her butt. All the other ponies seem to pass by except this pony who was looking at Amra with a look of horror on her face... or the best possible when she has crossed eyes that are golden.
The Pegasus flies closer and lands quite softly beside Amra, which didn't seem possible with those eyes, before asking, "Are you okay?"
Amra nods and says, "I am quite alright little Pegasus though I think my eye must be a little messed up because I see only ponies around me in a town."
The Pegasus tilts her head which looks adorable to Amra as she asks, "Why do you think that?"
"Well...I actually don't know..." states Amra as she tries to think even as the Pegasus seems to be looking her over.
"What happened to you?" asks the Pegasus.
"I was in a fight and won...though at a terrible price...I don't know what went wrong." states Amra with a sigh.
The Pegasus smiles brightly as she says, "I don't know much about fights but things always go bad round me for some reason. I don't have many friends though cause of being me."
Amra smiles a little and says, "I don't see why. You seem like a nice pony to me. I'm Amra and if you want...I'll be your friend."
The Pegasus gasps and hugs Amra, who groans in pain, and releases her quickly as she states, "Oh no...sorry. I'm Derpy. I should go get you a doctor since your hurt. I don't want my first friend hurt cause of me."
Amra smiles and says, "I ain't gonna move but it might be hard for the doctor to see me since my place is under an illusion."
Derpy nods and heads off even as other ponies look at Derpy like she is crazy. Amra sits their resting as best she can as she watches ponies go about their way. She notices one pink pony hopping around looking about frantically as if looking for something before she begins hopping right in front of Amra looking back and forth as if for something.
"Helloalienfromanotheruniverse.Iknowyourhere.I'mpinkiepieandIwanttobeyourfriendbutyouseemtobehidingfrommearoundhere.IwanttoinviteyouovertosugarcubecornertonightbutIdon'tknowifyouheremeornotsoseeyoutheirandIwillhavecakeavailableforyou." yells the pink pony as she jumps right in Amry's face causing her to raise an eyebrow.
The pink pony than begins to hop off happily as ponies look at her crazily like Derpy. At this point she is unsure what she had gotten herself into by using that crest when she sees Derpy coming back with a white unicorn wearing a nurse outfit which surprisingly looks good on her. Derpy runs up to Amra and points at her as she says, "She needs help Nurse Redheart."
Nurse Redheart looks around where Derpy points and asks, "Who are you talking about Derpy?"
Derpy looks ready to speak when Amra says, "She means me, Nurse. I am under an illusion spell on my establishment right in front of you. Let me lower it and you will see me."
The Nurse jumps back as well as a few ponies which hear Amra speak loud enough for them to hear. Nurse Redheart nods as she waits for whatever said that to show itself.
Amra raises her hand and says, "Illusion Break."
Her magic flares and the Illusion hiding her bar disappears making all the ponies who see it stop in their tracks and gasp as they see not only the bar appear but Amra as well.
Nurse Redheart gasps when she sees Amra at first before getting past her shock and getting closer to heal Amra.
Amra smiles and says, "Thanks for the assistance Derpy. Gonna rest right quick since I am tired."
Amra than falls over as Nurse Redheart and Derpy both gasp and try to catch her. Amra on the other hand enters into darkness as she hears a familiar voice say to her, "Welcome to Equestria, my Huntress."
