The tale of 2 gods: Grathog and Dramgore

Standing where the blinding light had come from was an alabaster pega-corn flanked by a midnight blue one. They were both furious, but it was nothing compared to what Callus and Dramgore were right now. At the moment, they were picking up Grathog. As soon as that task was done Callus started to snarl in anger.

"You dare attack one of my friends, Celestia?! You know not of the power you dance around now!" He barked at the white mare, who Dramgore and Grathog noticed was significantly larger then the other mares.

Dramgore was beyond pissed off, but that didnt mean he was going to do something stupid. "Explain."

"These are the alicorn diarchs of Equestria, Celestia" He motioned over to the white one "and Luna." He motioned over to the midnight blue alicorn. "And they have just assaulted my friend." Callus glares daggers at Celestia, who in turn shot back. "Why?!"

"Are you so blind as to not realize that he is abviously a blood thirsty demon who escaped tartarus!? He will be sent back to where he came from and you cant stop me!" She says with an ice cold voice. "CERBERUS!!" A pool of flames appeared in the middle of the town, and out steps a titanic three headed dog with blood-red eyes. It took several glances around until its eyes found Grathog. Grathog closed his eyes in anticipation for the blow, but it never came. He waited until he opened his eyes to see Cerberus bowing.

Celestia and Luna looked more confused than everybody else who was seeing this. Something clicked in Grathogs brain and he stood at full height, which he was several feet higher than Cerberus. "Tell the fools why you bow to me." He commanded him, which Cerberus did without hesitation.

"He Is mY MaStEr, ThE GoD Of ShAdOw AnD FlAmE." Cerberus said in his demonic voice. Grathog was extremely amused at the expresions of the alicorn diarchs. The alicorns minds were reeling at this information. They had both indeed attacked a god, a REAL god! Celestia needed to mend this wound before it is too late. He then dismissed Cerberus and bore down on us.

"I am so, so sorry Grathog The Great. We were merely protecting our subjects. Please forgive us." She pleaded while bowing.

Grathog gave an indignant snort. "You struck without an explanation, you made false accusations, and you attacked your saviors. You must have been blinded by the sun because I can see no threat to those who use their power for good." He hissed at her that made her whimper in fear. Grathog then gave a smile. "So, your punishment will be to let us live close to ponyville in the forest. And" His smile grew wider. "you will listen to us from now on. Any problems, any difficulties, any advice you need, come to us for it. We dont let one of our own down, deities." Him and the others turned around to leave until Dramgore called over his shoulder. "Oh and also, meet us at our place of residents in a week times. Don't be late." He growled the last part at them to drill it into their heads. After the trio walk off, the whole town starts berating the princesses for answers they don't have.

"Whats happening?!"

"Are we all gonna die?!"

"What are they?!"

"How did it control Cerberus?!"

"What are you going to do?!"

"Quiet!! I dont have answers except that they are somewhat friendly. But please, do not panic. You are in no more danger than I am at this point." Everyone gasped at Celestia's statement. Their ruler was actually in danger of being killed, she is truly mortal now. Two familiar pegasai came out of the crowd. "Yes, Spitfire and Lightning Dust? What have you to add?" Celestia asked. She wanted to know everthing she could about these 'gods'.

"They saved our lives in the forest from a pack of timberwolves-" Spitfire said.

"and they escorted us back to the forest edge until they saw what was happening." Lightning added as she shuddered from the memory of the pure anger in the air itself around them back at the forest edge. Celestia smiled as she now knows what kind of creatures these gods were. Fierce, stern, compassionate, strong, wise, and most of all powerful. She now wonders if seeing them again is all that bad now, she might actually be looking forward to it now.

Grathog, Dramgore, and Callus have been in the forest edge, planning. "So, where will we be building our mansion?" Dramgore asked to the group. The both of them shrugged as Dramgore face palmed. "Were supposed to work together to build our house, y'know." Dramgore says to them.

"I know, but we don't exactly have the materials to build a 12 story mansion." Said Grathog.

"We can use the trees for wood that we can build with. As for where, I think we shuold go deeper, where the lake was I think." Dramgore says.

"I agree, the lake would provide water, power, and other uses." Callus added. They all nod and carry on towards the lake. When they all arrive at the lake, they start with taking the rocks and turning them into foundation and placing it beside the lake in a square beside the lake with magic. Then they started started breaking trees and such until a heavenly silky voice yelled 'STOP'. They all drop everything and whip around to see the most shocking thing they've seen all this time. A beautiful woman with long blonde hair and forest green eyes. But that wasnt what was the shocker, she was human! Dramgore was too transfixed by her beauty to realize that she was wearing a dress made of leaves and twigs. Grathog noticed this and stepped forward.

"So, who are you? A dryad? A nymph? The forest goddess perhaps?" The last name got a reaction out of her, making Grathog smile. "Oh? So your the goddess of forests? Fitting looking at your dress and all, human." Grathog had hoped that the name would not make him look like an idiot. She gasped and stared wide-eyed at the gods.

"How do you know that name, I-I died thousands of years ago in my apartment from a wish I made! No other humans should be here!" She said. Grathog raised an eyebrow. So this must be the only other god in this world.

"That is what happened to us, except that we died a day ago. It is good to see another god, let alone another human!" Grathog exclaimed happily with a smile on his face. A smile slowly crept up the womans face as well along with some tears. Dramgore went forward and pulled her into a hug as she sobbed into his chest.

"Im so happy I'm not alone anymore, I have been alone for thousands of years." She sobs into Dramgores chest. She brings her face up to see his. "Please stay, I dont want to be alone anymore. Please." She pleads with tears streaming down her face. He brings a hand up and wipes away the tears, while staring ito her pleading eyes.

"We wont leave you, you are one of us now. We dont let one of our own down, that goes double for humans. Besides, we were going to live here anyways and you are welcome to join our mery band of heroes." Dramgore said with a reasuring smile and a soft voice. She smiled back.

"Thank you, I think I would like that." She says as she lets go of Dramgore with a blush on her face.

"I never got your name, ma'am." Callus said. She blushed in embarrassment.

"Primrose, my name is Primrose." She said.

"Good, now can you help us out with building our mansion Rose?" Grathog said, getting right down to business. Primrose nodded with another blush on her face from being called by her nickname. She proceeded to raise her arms into the air and focus on the foundation. Seconds later, several pieces of wood started flying towards the spot and created a giant mansion. She went inside and started working on placing the interior down. After about an hour, she came back outside and beckoned them inside with her hand.

As they stepped inside, they could see a huge empty canvases and tables with flowers on them. As they continued, they came to a six-way intersection. "This is where we go to our rooms." Primrose said as she pointed to a sign that pointed the directions to our rooms as well as the basement, the garden, the kitchen, the upstairs, the bathrooms, and the armory. Grathog starts grinning like a madman.

"Take me to the basement please." He asks Primrose politely. She nods and takes them down to the basement. After several fights of stairs, they arrive at their destination. It was humongous. It went on for at least 350 feet and 150 feet to the ceiling. It was dark and cold down here, but it would serve its purpose. Grathog claps his hands together. "Perfect! I claim this as my workshop." Before anyone could protest, he started creating several forges, workbenches, anvils, and water buckets with his magic. He then shoo's everyone else away so that he could do his business.

After that, Primrose showed Dramgore's and Callus' rooms and departed for her own. Callus' room was like an aviary with bookshelves and clouds. Dramgore's room was made of purple with electic yellow trimming and full of books and water related objects. Of course, Rose's room was full of nature and plant life with lots of animals. Grathog's room was made of black stone with magma coursing through the walls and had various ancient weapons and spell tomes. Everyone went about their own things while they waited until dinner.
