Chapters Author's Note
Although I've written stories before elsewhere, I actually care about this one, feel free to criticize any of my content, but try not to just hate on the story itself, try to be constructive.
Bad Ideas
People tend to think of Death as some evil being filled with hate, but it's simply not true.
Death was losing patience with the people on earth, they continue their self destructive ways and yet he gets blamed for all the suffering in the world. His patience was so low that a few years ago he stopped leaving his home in heaven to reap the souls and just started sending his agents down to earth to do most of the work for him, this might seem lazy of him, but his sister Life was actually the one who insisted on him staying home since she knew he might actually lose what little is left of his patience, she enchanted a mirror for him so he could observe the agents doing their job at least, after all he might be impatient but he still wanted the job done right, it was never about him hating his job, he just felt irritated that the only ones who show him respect are his sister and a few of the higher gods who understand the necessity of his existence.
[Death POV]
"You know just once it'd be nice to be thanked for doing my job, I mean if it weren't for me they wouldn't even make it to heaven or hell, they'd just be stuck suffering on earth for all eternity as they continued to age indefinitely" I said trying to convince my sister to just make those annoying creatures respect me.
"We've been over this before, at this point I think you're just bored with being in your home all day" True to her name her voice is angelic and caring.
"I 'AM' FUCKING BORED, I'm trapped between the choice of being stuck in my home bored out of my skull or going down to Earth and being hated merely for existing!"
"Calm down brother, I know you're upset, and for that I'm sorry, but I can't just control the humans and make them like you, the last time we tried that even on a small scale it resulted in an entire village killing themselves" goddamn it I hate the fact she never gets angry, it means she able to look at a situation from a logical standpoint, meaning she always wins when we argue. I'd hate her if I didn't love her so much.
I sigh and calm down, "Look, you don't have to apologize for me being upset, and I know that you still feel guilty about that village, I just get really tired sometimes, you know how it is for me and my temper, sometimes I just need to vent out my anger every few decades and you're the only one with the patience to listen to me and for that I thank you"
"If you're that pent up I could give you a couple of ideas?"
'Ideas? One time she gave me 'ideas' I threw a fucking meteor at the planet... wait is it meteor or asteroid? Whatever, the point is, not my shining moment since it gave those stupid humans a chance to evolve', I thought about it for a moment before I said " what exactly are the 'ideas' this time?"
"well, option 1) You could go out and get laid for onc-", "nope, the angels all hate me, the humans hate me, and the last time I let you set me up with an alien I woke up the three days later with a crushed pelvis, so that's a straight up nope, what else you got" I still think the alien was worth it though, she was sexy as fuck, still I'm not taking the risk again, I like my member to be capable of standing to attention.
"then option 2, you go on the hunt", 'now that's interesting, there's very few things on this or any world that makes her tell me to kill someone before their allotted time is up, this could prove to be a fun day after all', "go on..."
She said just one word, one word that makes my blood and hers boil, "Necromancers"
"...what... did... you... SAY?!?" I was upset.
"A group of ... Necromancers" she practically spat out, "has been attempting a spell that will grant them an army of the undead at least a million strong, I was going to ignore it because I thought that their attempts to raise that many would kill them, but it seems they have enough in their group now to pull of the spell with minimal risk, I need you to go there and kill them all, don't even leave one standing or they could try again"
"Oh, this should prove to be fun, its been a while since you last let me hunt"
"I'll teleport you as close as I can to them, the rest is up to you"
"so be it"
[3rd person POV]
Death arrived in a flash of blue light in the desert at night, his dark robes completely covering him, and his face was covered by his shadow magic. He wielded his trusty scythe, the handle looked like it was made out of the spine of some poor creature, while sitting on top of the scythe was a large human skull with a wide open mouth, coming out of the mouth was the blade but the blade looked like a webbed wing.
He used his large black wings to take to the air to get a better look at the surroundings, he didn't have to look far before he saw an enormous red rune about 50 feet wide glowing a half-mile away, it looked like the spell was almost complete, so he rushed as fast as he could, he landed just outside the camp, there were a couple dozen necromancers, he was planning a stealth approach, but there was no time left so he rushed in, alerting the necromancers to his position by cleaving one of them in half vertically with a single swing of his scythe and then unleashing his death fog, which wiped out half the Necromancers before the others produced a shield to covers themselves and the rune.
Death started trying to smash the shield, but it was holding strong, the remaining twelve must've been the Council Of Twelve themselves, the twelve strongest Necromancers on the planet.
[Death POV]
One of the twelve, probably the leader shouted through the shield, "You cannot stop us now you pathetic wraith, and for your crimes against we, the twelve, you will die!"
I watched as they summoned 3 wraiths to their sides, and I couldn't help but start laughing darkly right at them.
"what the hell are you laughing at you monster?!?"
"Oh just the fact that you called a wraith, I am many things, but I am not a wraith, nor am I a Reaper, both of those are subservient TO ME, I AM DEATH ITSELF!!!"
"no..."
"And you just summoned 3 of my agents... right alongside you, inside your shield"
I watched as the leader turned around in horror, only to see the wraiths tear his allies limb from bloody limb causing the shield to lose it's strength and I pulled back one last punch to break it into pieces.
I grabbed the leader by his neck with my left hand and held him into the air, "any last words?", "don't kill me?"
"Not the most original, but whatever" I launched my hand right into his chest, with the fist emerging on the other side covered in blood, I then dropped him to the ground.
I observe the Rune, for some reason the energy isn't dispersing, the fucking thing should've stopped the moment we killed those Necromancers.
One of the wraiths speaks up "sir, what do we do, the Rune's still building energy, the spell wasn't complete but the energy is still building, it won't raise the dead anymore, but if it keeps building up it'll go critical and wipe out everything within a thousand miles"
A thousand thoughts enter my head trying to think of a solution, one thought is chief among them, 'she really does have shit ideas'.
"Take the other wraiths and deliver 2 messages, the first one is to tell the 13 Reapers it's up to them now to fulfill my duties, they'll get the information they need from my sister, any big problems, they talk to her-"
"but sir-"
"the second message is for my sister, tell her I'm sorry for yelling at her"
"...what are you doing sir?"
"I'm gonna cause it to go implode before it goes critical, it'll probably be enough to kill even me"
"sir, tell me what to do and I'll do it, the world needs you, we can't lose you"
"I just did tell you what to do, go... now"
"...as you command lord death, farewell"
The Wraiths vanish, I approach the center of the rune and focus all my energy into the palms of my hands and use my most powerful technique "chaos bringer"
The very air itself seems to dragged into the center as a massive singularity forms, and explodes covering an enormous radius in a bright colourful explosion in a five mile area, my last thoughts as sweet oblivion takes me is "...fucking Necromancers" and then everything goes blank.
...where the hell am I now?
Death POV
I awoke next to a small lake surrounded by trees, it was pleasantly warm though, neither too hot nor too cold, wherever that explosion teleported me must be experiencing summer, but not too close to the equator... unless I've been knocked out for a while, but if I only slept a day or so... maybe I'm in the Lake District in Britain? It's always nice to relax there.
"Ohh... fuck me... this feels almost as bad as that time with the alien chick... heh, that was still totally worth it though"
'hmm, I should probably teleport back to heaven, Life must think I died after I sent that wraith there'. I try to teleport, although the dark aura I exhibit before I transport appears around me... I don't move.
"what the flying fuck, I can't connect at all... hmm, well nothing to do now but do a flyover to figure where the fuck I am", most would panic at this, but frankly when you've lived as long as me and Life, you tend not to get to bothered by these things.
I do a quick check of my looks in the water, seems fine, everything's where it should be, my black robes and cloak hide my deceptively ripped body and hide my pale skin and keep my face in shadows, as well as covering my shortish black hair, my white eyes could be confused for someone who looks blind, my 6 foot 5 inch frame is intimidating, but not overly so, I still have my scythe with me in case there's a threat... hmm... all good.
'I wonder if I can still access the pocket dimension where I keep my stuff', I reach forward opening a small dark purple portal, I reach in and pull out a small bottle of Sprite, 'at least it still works' I open the bottle and swiftly drink it all down, the pocket contains enough supplies for centuries and has an enchantment to keep the stuff in a stasis-like state to keep it all fresh, as well as the food and drink I have a fuckton of potions and other stuff.
I spread my wings and fly straight up about a hundred feet so I can look around... is that a castle on the side of a mountain. I don't recognize it as any castles I know, definitely not britain then. I take a look around and I spot a small village in the distance with a crystal palace... being attacked by an enormous black dragon, well, I know where I'm headed. I throw as much force as I can into my flight to get there quickly... I hope I'm not too late.
Twilight POV
I woke up this morning feeling some strange magical anomaly in the Everfree, I'm certain it was powerful enough to be felt by Prin... I mean Celestia and Luna... I'm still not used to not having to call them Princess since I became an Alicorn myself.
I was just gathering the others to go investigate the disturbance when a MASSIVE BLACK DRAGON ATTACKED!!!
"What is THAT THING doing here?!?" rarity practically screamed.
"I don't know, there shouldn't be any dragons around here this time of year" I said sounding fairly panicked.
"Ah don't know, and I don't care, I ain't letting it hurt no-one, whadda y'reckon dash?" Applejack, sounding way too casual about this.
"If that thing wants a fight I'll give it one" way too prideful dash.
"umm... maybe we should just leave it alone... or better yet run away?" Fluttershy getting quieter with every word.
Spike was completely silent, staring fearfully at the monstrosity before us.
"The Dragon must be twice as the one in the cave, at LEAST, there's no way we can fight it, Spike, take a letter... spike... spike, SPIKE!!!"
"r-rr-rright, RIGHT YES, a letter, what should I put Twilight?" Spike said finally getting himself on track
"Celestia, ponyville is under a dragon attack, send help quick, sincerely Princess Twilight Sparkle"
Spike sends the letter with his flames, not thirty seconds later a message comes back.
Twilight, the guards will be there in 15 minutes, please hold off the dragon as long as you can, sincerely Princess Celestia
Twilight POV
"Ok girls, Celestia's message said we just have to stall it for 15 minutes"
"Is that it, I can take care of that Dragon in 10 seconds fl-ROOAAAAARRR " she's interrupted by the dragon spewing some kind of... shadow flames?
The flames set fire to a luckily empty house and seem to actively MELT the brickwork.
"WHAT IN THE HAY IS THAT?!?" Applejack practically screams, now seeming to fully grasp the situation
"I-I-I I don't know, I've never even heard of a dragon with this kind of ability" I can't help but panic, how can we hope to hold this thing off for FIFTEEN MINUTES?!?
Death POV
Closer, closer, closer...
Twilight POV
"Ok girls let's try and distract him while everyone else evacuates, Rainbow Dash, can you fly around his head and try to distract him while we see what we can do from the ground" 'how can we possibly do anything to that thing, we couldn't beat a dragon half this size?!?'
"Don't worry Twilight, I got this"
I watch as Rainbow launches her self at great speeds right at the dragon, when out of nowhere the dragon displays immense speeds and launches a fist at her too fast to dodge! She lands hard against the ground in a crumpled heap. We all scream "RAINBOW DASH!!!" and the others run over to her to help her, the dragons sees them and goes to breathe its shadow flames on them, I fly in front of the others and poor every ounce of strength I can from all three of my alicorn magics, earth pony, pegasus and unicorn in my poor horn... it hurts so much, I launch the beam right at the dragon, it too slow to dodge and takes the attack head on with a resounding BOOM , the entire area fills with smoke in the aftermath.
I can barely breathe, I don't have any strength left to hold myself in the air and fall straight down, luckily Fluttershy catches me, she's not very strong so she can only slow my descent and we both fall to the ground. Fluttershy helps me stand, if you can call it that, my horn is killing me, I don't think I'll be able to use any complex magic for at least a week if I don't want to crack my horn.
"ugh, thanks for the help Fluttershy, I can barely move, let's go check on Rainbow"
"Okay, but be careful, your horn looks really red, we'll need to get you to a doctor... um if that's okay with you that is."
We walk closer to the others as they look at Rainbow, "are you okay Rainbow, you took quite the hit back there" I feel a heavy breeze come in, must be some pegasus clearing the smoke.
"GUY'S NEVER MIND ME LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU"
3rd person
Everyone turns to see the dragon preparing to fire on them, time seems to slow down as it opens its mouth to fire on them and they prepare to die.
'This can't be how it ends, I want to spend more time with my friends... with Rainbow'
'I'm so scared... I'll never see Angel Bunny again, who'll look after my animal friends... oh who am I kidding, I'm so useless, they'll be fine without me'
'Ah don't wanna die... Big Mac, take care of Applebloom, you and her are the only things left of ma and pa now'
'...No more smiles... I wanna see Marble one last time, I wanna hear Limestone yell, I wanna talk to Maud'
'They're gonna die, and it's my fault, if I were just faster I could've done my job, I'm so sorry guys'
'Huh... This... This actually is the worst possible thing... no it's not, it could be worse, sweetie belle, my darling sis- no, my precious daughter, you're safe, that's all that matters, I wish I could've told you... I love you so much'
As if acting on instinct, they close their eyes as they prepare for the inevitable.
BOOM
"HEY FUCKFACE"
Everyone opens their eyes as they see a robed hooded black winged creature slams at astonishing speeds with a resounding *crack * right into the snout of the dragon launching it rolling down the street a hundred feet onto its back. The creature lands a few feet in front of them in a bipedal stance holding a large scythe.
"Let's see how you handle a real challenge shall we"
3rd person POV
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THOSE NAMES
"Fucking hell Luna, do you really need to be so loud, and anyway I'm feeling a little insulted you don't even remember your Godfather"
At that everyone looks shocked, even Celestia and Luna are gaping like fish.
It's Celestia that breaks the silence "What are you talking about?"
"Have you never looked at your own documents, under 'Godfather' you have the initials..." Death gestures her to finish.
"...A.O.D, A.O.W"
"Correct my dear Tia, and those would stand for...?"
"...Angel Of Death, Angel Of Wisdom, but why would you be our Godfather?"
"Perhaps it would be best if we continue our little conversation inside the crystal castle over there, hmm?"
"Oh, umm, yes, right, stand down my little ponies. Shining Armor, would you kindly send most of the troops back to Canterlot, but accompany me, Luna and the Elements to talk to Death."
"Yes Princess, ALL RIGHT EVERYPONY, all but 6 of you head back to Canterlot."
As he commanded, all but 6 headed back to the chariots and proceeded to board them and fly back to canterlot, leaving the princesses' chariot behind, 4 pegasi stay with the chariot, and 2 unicorns guard the palace doors.
5 minutes later they're all in the map room.
The elements sit on their thrones while Celestia and Luna sit on either side of Twilight, while shining armor sits on the other side of Celestia.
Luna starts "So... how, or rather why, are you our godfather?"
"Starting off with the big one eh?" he smirked, "It was your dad who suggested me, and your dear mother agreed."
"So," celestia continued "you knew our father, what was he like, we can't remember him."
"Not surprising, you two are different sizes, but you were only born a year apart, sadly your dad died a few months after Luna was born."
"How did he die?" they asked simultaneously.
"The man was a fan of smoking a pipe constantly, he got cancer as a result and passed away in his sleep."
"umm, excuse me mr death." came the voice of the young purple alicorn.
"Yes, what is it miss?" "Twilight" "Miss Twilight?"
"Well, I thought that alicorns heal from such afflictions due their high magic levels."
Death smirked "Faust, their mother, was an alicorn, their father was an earth pony."
The silence was palpable, Twilight and the other elements had their jaws dropped, even Pinkie was deathly still at the info.
Applejack spoke up "so he was an earth pony? Musta' been mighty strong to impress the princess's mother like that."
At that death literally started rolling on the floor laughing... for 5 whole minutes.
"ha ha ha... ah... haha... uh, no he was *ahem*, he was not what you would call 'physically gifted', he was actually her librarian before he was her mate, he was thin, not at all muscular, and not at all comfortable with others, choosing instead to remain inside all the time with his precious books, but the man had a heart of gold, and he couldn't stand to see anyone get hurt."
Everyone in the room slowly turned to twilight as he spoke about the princess's father.
"why is everyone looking at me?"
"Oh... no reason." came everyone's reply
Luna spoke up "I have a question?"
Her tone was quiet and serious, which death took note of. "Go ahead."
"Couldn't you have stopped his death?" Everyone looked to death for an answer, and were surprised by the sad look in his eyes.
"...you sound just like Faust, I cannot prevent someone's death, I allow it to happen, I can't just resurrect people or anything like that, even if it was me doing it, it would still be necromancy, and if that doesn't shatter a soul it at least renders it damaged beyond repair" his tone was somber "Faust didn't care for details, and we didn't speak for a while, 74 years if I remember correctly."
In an act of bravery, fluttershy came and hugged him "You really cared for her didn't you?"
Death hugged back "I did, so much, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I loved her, but it wasn't exactly the way you ponies would recognize love, immortals are different in that regard, me and her were the best of friends, and occasionally we slept together to deal with the stresses of eternal life"
"You... slept with our mother... what about when she was with father" Celestia asked
"When she was with Noble Spirit, your father, we did not sleep together, and your father became a true friend to me and I trusted him, if I didn't trust him I wouldn't have let him near Faust. I thought he might be after the throne of Equestria, but he never cared for the throne, he actually did his best to stay away from the spotlight. He was a good man."
Everyone had a smile when death mentioned that.
"Umm, can I ask a question... if you don't mind that is"
"What is your question miss...?"
"My name is Fluttershy"
"A very beautiful, and fitting name miss Fluttershy, your question?"
Fluttershy blushed and hid behind her hair and asked "Why did you call the princesses what you did?"
While Celestia maintained her happy smile... Luna looked mortified.
"Well it's quite simple, when she was younger Celestia didn't like how log her name was, so she just went by Tia... Luna on the other hand, a little bit of background is necessary." The others leaned in, interested. "Luna was always smarter than Celestia, even learning how to speak earlier than Celestia did... unfortunately she also had a bit of a lisp at the time so... oh hell I'll just show you my first time meeting her when she was about a year old, if you're wondering about when I stopped talking to faust, it was when Luna was about 4 or 5 years old, anyway here you go."
He reached up to his head with his right hand with his index and middle fingers, and seemed to pull a small white orb out of his head, he stretched it out with both his hands and a memory showed up in the middle, everyone looked as the memory showed death looking down as a tiny foal version of Luna had seemed to have accidentally run into him.
"awww"
Then Death in the memory spoke.
"Oops, careful there little one" he helped her up, she looked shyly at him, "what's your name, little one?"
"My nameth Woona" The memory ended.
Everyone 'Awwed' at the still picture of little Woona.
Fluttershy spoke "That is SOOO CUUUUTE, she looked so adorable there"
At this point Luna was blushing HARD.
"Yes she certainly was cute, that day Faust asked me to bab- I mean uh foalsit Luna, I spent the day getting to know her, she was quite bright even at that young age, though Faust told me it was strange that she accepted my presence so quickly as she was usually shy around new people, unlike Celestia who used to love the attention." At this, both of them blushed.
"By the way, it's good seeing you six again"
Everyone looked confused
"What do you mean" twilight asked
"You six always find each other, it's an inevitability, your bodies have passed many times, you get reincarnated, you live, you find each other, eventually you die, all those times though, you found each other every single time, I had a feeling you were destined for something, it's surprising it was the elements of harmony though I will admit."
The girls looked at each other and smiled brightly at that revelation.
"In one of your lives you actually met as enemies, but became friends and banished the Wendigoes from the land"
"Wait wait wait, so we actually were those ponies from the Hearthswarming Tale play?!?" said Rainbow Dash
"And I really was a PRINCESS" said Rarity... who then fainted onto a couch pulled from hammerspace or something.
"Yes... to both those questions... is she gonna be okay?"
"She'll be fine" deadpanned Twilight
After Rarity woke up.
"So why are you here now anyway" asked Twilight
"Oh, right I never mentioned did I, well-"
*FLASH* "HELLO EVERYPONY" Asked discord, "what's going on here toda-"
"DISCORD" hissed Death
Discord recognized the voice instantly and literally turned white "Ohh crap"
TBC

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've just not been feeling up to it, I just got a sudden burst of energy from somewhere and finished the chapter.

A challenge and an interesting introduction.
Moments ago
'Come on, just a little bit faster, almost there', I knew it was gonna be close, I couldn't quite tell what was fighting the dragon, but I could tell they were about to die since that last attack just wasn't gonna cut it.
I was almost there, 'Closer, closer... NOW!!!' as I caused a sonic boom I shifted my position to deliver a hard kick to the dragon's face.
"HEY FUCKFACE" I hit him with a resounding crack knocking it back down the street, it appeared that for the most part the village was empty save for those last warriors that were just fighting the dragon.
I land in front of what I realized are fucking PONIES, I've avoided this dimension for nearly 3000 years now, and now I'm fucking stuck here, god fucking dammit, nevermind, more important issues to attend after all, can panic later, save this lot now.
I held my scythe horizontally behind me and said "let's see how you handle a real challenge shall we"
Now
The Dragon rapidly rose and charged straight at Death and struck him in the side with a claw, only for Death to catch the claw with one hand, shocking the ponies behind him as they stare awestruck at the sheer strength he possesses. With his left hand occupied he released the scythe to the ground and punched the dragon claw to make him let go, the hit had so much force the dragon growled in pain and tried to bite him, Death leaped onto the dragon's snout just before it got him and then stomped on the snout to force it to the ground.
The dragon recovered quickly and launched his left claw towards Death, who wasn't expecting a counter-attack so quickly and was launched into a building and was doused in Shadow Flames as the building melted from the sheer heat of the fire, the mane 6 watch in horror as their hope burns away.
The girls saw as the dragon turned back to them and fired more flames at them, they closed their eyes and flinched as they felt... nothing? They opened their eyes and saw a dark barrier separating the flames from them, they look around to see which unicorn was protecting them, but found no-one, the dragon looks confused until a boulder smashes into the side of his face, he roars in pain and turns to see who threw the rock.
"Ok, so clearly you haven't got the message quite clear, 'YOU... ARE... FUCKED'"
Death walks of the building, with the only damage being that his robe is in tatters.
Death launches at the dragon, smashing into the side of it's face, he then dives to the ground and delivers a massive uppercut to its underbelly launching it straight up, he then flew past it and started gathering immense amounts of lightning from the surrounding atmosphere into a giant ball of lighting 20 feet wide.
"Purifying Light" as Death spoke those words the ball of electricity glowed a golden hue and he launched it into the dragon, forcing into the ground kicking up massive amounts of dust and earth.
When the dust cleared all anyone could see was the dragon screaming in agony as death pumped it full of pure lightning.
10 minutes later
For the past ten minutes the strange being has been hitting that Shadow Dragon with continuous lightning, it's screaming is painful just to listen to, fluttershy tried to get the being to stop causing it so much pain, but the lightning has formed a bubble of sorts around him and the dragon that shocks anyone to close, I'd try a shield spell to get close, but my horn is going to be useless for anything other than simple levitation for at least a week. We also tried shouting to the being, but it's either ignoring us, or it can't hear us.
I watch as Celestia and Luna, along with my brother Shining Armour and 50 royal guards land in both chariots and from flying.
"Twilight, what's happening here, what is that thing and what is it doing to that dragon?" Celestia asks
"I don't know, I wish I could tell you, but all I know is that that dragon attacked, used strange shadow flames, was fast enough to swat rainbow from the sky, withstood me using all of my power in one blast, which has damaged my horn by the way, and just as it was about to fry us all, that strange thing flew into it and kicked it hard enough to knock it away and then he withstood a direct blast of its flames, used a shield spell to protect us when the dragon attacked us again, launched it into the sky, and has been hitting it with strange gold lightning for the past ten minutes, and we can't get close because of the lightning, and he either can't hear us or is ign-" I'm cut of as an explosion drags our attention to the dragon, as a yellow dragon half the size of the shadow dragon is launched from the body of the bigger dragon.
The smaller dragon falls unconscious and the lightning dissipates, the shadow part of the shadow dragon collapses to the floor, and the strange being falls to the ground, seemingly exhausted.
Death POV
'Fuck me sideways that hurt' I stand up and crack my neck, I look around and see dozens of ponies, clearly guards of royalty surround me on all sides, spears in ha- hoof, I see three alicorns a few feet behind the guards to my left, there's a small one, probably a new alicorn since she's only the size of the average pony, she's purple and has a mane that is dark blueish and a lighter color as stripes in it, she has a star as her butt tattoo... I refuse to us the pony name for those things unless it applies to chil- foals, the next alicorn is larger than the first and her colour is dark blue with a flowing mane and tail that looks like space and the stars, it's awesome, her butt tattoo is a crescent moon on a blotch of black, next is the largest of the three and is clearly a fully grown alicorn, she is pure white with a flowing multi-colored mane and tail, green blue and pink, rather boring compared to the stars, but it does radiate power... well, compared to the regular ponies at least, she has a sun for a butt tattoo. Let's see how this plays out shall we.
I walk towards the alicorns and one of the earth pony guards says "Halt creature, you will step no closer to the princesses"
Oh now it's fun "or what little one, what will you, a tiny little pony do to me, the being who took down a dragon by his lonesome, hmm?"
"THIS" and he stabbed me, no fucking joke, the dude stabbed me with a spear. The alicorns look sickened by what he did, half the guards don't seem bothered, the other half clearly think he overreacted, personally I'm pissed off.
I look down at the spear and then pull it out of my gut, I spin it around in a show of skill, then smash it into his side launching him 20 feet away.
"You pathetic little rat, you would allow fear to control you to attack an unknown being, you are not worthy of being a guard."
The others look ready to attack when one of them, clearly a leader among them, a unicorn, he's white with a mane of blue and a lighter blue, he's bigger than the average pony, and he commands them "STOP, all of you, whoever this being is, he saved the princess of friendship and the rest of the elements of harmony, as well as cleared that dragon of shadow corruption"
He walks up to me and holds a hoof for me to shake, which is kinda awkward given how short they are, he comes up to the middle of my stomach, "The names Shining Armour, Prince of the Crystal Empire, as well as former Captain of the Royal Guard"
I shake his hand and announce loudly enough for them to hear "Death, the Angel Of Death, as well as the Angel Of Wisdom"
The look on their faces is priceless and I just smirk at them.
"You're the Angel Of Death?"
"Yep"
*Ahem* we both turn towards the full grown alicorn, she looks familiar, but I can't place it.
"Hello Angel of Wisdom and Death, my name is Celes-"
I cut her off "OH MY GOD, TIA, you actually became an ALICORN, HA, I fucking knew you'd become one, and does that make you over there Wittle Woona?" I tease with a massive smirk on my face. The guards just stand with their jaws dropped.
Looking to the small alicorn and the rest of the 'Elements Of Harmony', one of them, a unicorn looks immaculate with her white fur and purple mane and tail curled stylishly, her butt tattoo is 3 diamonds , the next is an earth pony, she's orange and has a blond mane and tail in a... pony tail... ugh, anyway she's also wearing a cowboy hat, she's probably a farmer, her butt tattoo is 3 apples, next one is another earth pony and well... pink... so much pink, her body is light pink, and her mane and tail are dark pink... they look like candy floss, her butt tattoo is a few balloons, next one is a pegasus looks like a gay pride flag, I guarantee she is at the very least bi, her body is blue and her mane and tail are fucking rainbow coloured, her butt tattoo is a rainbow lightning bolt over a cloud, and finally the most adorable thing I've ever seen, a pegasus and she's hiding behind her mane behind the orange one, she's yellow and has a light pink mane and tail, I already like her, I can't see her... y'know what, she's cute, I'm gonna call her's a cutie mark, but yeah, I can't see it.
The elements have different reactions to my words, the purple alicorn's mane seems to be springing about, the white unicorn has her jaw dropped like the guards, the orange earth pony, rainbow pegasus and the pink one all seem to be stifling laughs, and the adorable pegasus let's out an 'eep', I'm not sure my heart can stand her cuteness.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THOSE NAMES " fuck me, I thought Faust used to scream loud.
