Below Whale Eye Mountain on Whale Island (outer ring of islands and northwest of Equestria)

"DOR-GAS TO-REG TIER BORNA” A shadowy being intoned, reading the incantio from an ancient manuscript. "OH GREAT ONES THAT CAME BEFORE WE BESEECH YOU TO SEND YOUR STRONGEST WARRIOR TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED. WE ARE BESIEGED BY THE FORCES OF THE BLACK PONY TYRANT."

high above Whale Island on the Planet of Denequus. passed out ??? pov.

Something from high above fell. Their eyes flutter open as consciousness gradually returns. The gravity of the planet catches up with her and she starts to fall. What is going on she thinks while waking up. She screams as she starts to hurtle towards the mountain.

While she's screaming she notices a weight on her right wrist and waist and sees a bracelet with an engraving of a shield on it and a sword respectively. She had an unconscious feeling that she needed to tap the bracelet and a shield formed from a ball of light onto her arm and she immediately moves the shield in front of her, not seconds before she collides with the mountain causing a cylindrical hole to be vertically bored into the mountain.

Eve is shocked that she is recovering from the impact.

"WHO DARES INTRUDE ON OUR SACRED SITE,"

Scared, Eve draws her sword and lifts her bracelet shield instinctively to defend herself from whatever is there. The voice was loud, demanding, and after she just plowed through solid rock without any injury, her heart was beating in a panic.

What she saw as the source of the voice was odd. It was a Minotaur, like in the Greek legends, dressed in pitch black armor with gold accents and a golden sword-belt with a khopesh hanging from it. Along with a shield gauntlet on his left wrist, legs that are double jointed and look like a bull's.

It removes its helmet and Eve sees the head of a human male but with bull horns sprouting from the brow. "What. The. Hell."

Eve only now looks around the chamber she sees many Minotaurs in robes of various colors and have what look like rank tabs on the shoulders of the robes. The robes range in color from black to reds to blues and the rank tabs look almost like army or clergy ranks. The biggest differences between them and the other one are that they have horns coming from the side of their heads instead of from the brow and they wear robes that reach the floor instead of armor that covers just their top halves.

Fearfully she looks around the cavern she landed in and she sees the spot where she crashed, it looks like the center of a Star of David and at each of the six points is a statue of an angel with six wings. Each statue has a different fundamental force representing them and is made from different materials that seem to reflect the elemental force that they hold or flows out of or into its hands. The statues exude a feeling of power as if they are alive, and in her mind’s eye she could see them for what they were.

Fire, the wild force made from obsidian which is the product of lava. Fire is held in pits around the foot of the statue and in one on top of the head stands to the north-east.

Earth/Rock is made from bedrock, one of the hardest forms of Earth there is. It has a small replica of the planet that reflects the world as it is at present, orbiting around it. It stands to the south-east.

Between those two stands a statue that tells her it is the Caretakers statue it is made of Metal and Wood it is also shorter by half than the rest.

Light/Darkness is made from angelic glass, the most beautiful type of crystalline glass there is. When Light is cast upon it, it shines like the Divines, inspiring hope and peace in others when looked upon, but when cast in Darkness it shines the most sinister of lights, bringing fear and despair to all who look upon it. It stands to the south.

Life/Death is made from a jade of the most interesting material, something she couldn't quite recall. It told her of its purifying quality and how it keeps the two in balance, Life flowing from the hands down into a pool of Death at the feet with no repercussions. It stands to the south-west

Wind/Air is made from white jasper, worn smooth by time and the twin twisters it holds in its hands. it stands to the north-west

Water is made from lapis-lazuli, a gem that exudes fluidity. The Water flows unending into a bowl that never overflows from a waterfall above ground. It stands to the north.

Just from the feel of them she can tell that they are more than statues that have a consciousness they reflect something living.

“WELL; WHO ARE YOU?”roars the unique Minotaur.

Another Minotaur steps forward and confronts him on his tone and volume. “Gel Tormak can’t you see you’re scaring the young Taur.”

At this Eve looks to the voice and sees what appears to be a very old Taur with the vestments of a Grand Master on. “Go raibh maith agat Grandmaster do na focail chineál,(Thank you Grand Master for the kind words,)” she says. "
An bhféadfá a bheith in ann a insint dom áit a bhfuil mé. (Might you be able to tell me where I am.)"

All of the Minotaur’s are baffled that this young Taur knows one of the Languages of old, one of the Languages of the Ancients.

The Grandmaster steps forward and says “Is féidir le duine óg a iarraidh ar conas a d'fhoghlaim tú ceann de na teangacha a bhí toirmiscthe(young one may I ask how did you learn one of the forbidden languages?)

"Más teanga forbidden é seo, ní mór duit mo theagasc a thabhairt dom eile toisc go bhfuil sé seo ar fad a fhios agam. (If this is a forbidden language then you must teach me another because this is all I know.)" Eve proclaims

The Grandmaster nods and replies “Más gá, tabharfaidh mé mo theagasc duit. (if necessary, I will teach you.)”

3 months later

"Hello My name is Eve. Love-love-lovely weather...today isn't it." Eve slowly stutters out.

"Very good Eve this is a marked improvement to last weeks lesson. How goes your combat training with Geltormak?" Grandmaster Librarian Golden Knowledge asks.

"Very good Grand Master.I have...ad-advan-advanced past second...tier Sword and third tier Shield levels, Master Gel Tormak says I can start using my sword and shield starting on the morrow and my "Will" training has also passed his tests so I can start training my weapons abilities" Eve proudly states. "Grandmaster Librarian I have a question?"

"What is it my little Taur you can ask me anything?" He asks in a jovial voice.

"What is Gel Tormak's name?"

The GML turns serious and sagely. "His name is his job, his job is his name."

Eve looks at him confused. "What do you mean by that?”

The GML’s face softens as he chuckles “I sometimes forget you are an outsider young Taur Eve and not versed in our ways and proverbs, what I meant was, his name means Caretaker and Trainer of the Winged Ones and his job is caretaker and trainer since there are no blessed Winged Ones he takes care of ‘your’ training.”

With reverence she bows and then speaks, "Thank you for answering my questions Grandmaster Librarian Golden Knowledge, on your leave I will be going now."

"Alright Eve have a good night." The GML replies.

The Next Morning

"FOCUS YOUNG TAUR,"Geltormak Eve's trainer bellows "to force your "WILL" upon your sword you need to find your center and draw out your hope while using the correct phrase to get the desired effect."

"I'm trying Master I'm really trying but I cant get my sword to do what I want it to." Eve laments at her failure.

"Fight your instincts my young taur, they will guide you only so far down this path." Geltormak wisely advises. “To find your phrases you need hope in yourself and confidence in others, to know your own being, your personality, like no other knows it, and finally you must be in touch with the other half of yourself; only then can you wreath your sword in flames.”

"Master can you show me with your shield again?" She asks hoping for another demonstration.

"An old proverb says 'Give a Taur a boar she eats for a week but teach that Taur to Hunt she eats forever' what that means is I could show you again but all that would do is confuse you."

“How am I to learn if I can't see” Eve asks.

“The way to enlightenment is through yourself meditate on this for the rest of our time” Gel Tormak says sagely.

“yes Master Gel Tormak” Eve replies and goes to meditate in a quiet place.

Finding a place in the Grand Library she sits and tries to meditate seconds turn 5o minutes turn to hours and after 3 long hours she gives up and storms towards the entrance of the Grand Library only to bump into Grandmaster Librarian Golden Knowledge.

“Hello Eve what has you in such a rush?” he inquires.

Bowing she replies “excuse me Grandmaster Librarian I didn't see you there. I was just leaving after 3 hours of trying to meditate and failing miserably at it.”

“Ah I understand trying to find your center. You know I had a hard time finding my center at first too but my teacher told me to just keep trying and eventually I was able to do it. So don't give up so soon Eve ok.”

“Ok Grandmaster Librarian I will try again.”Eve says and turns around into the Grand Library and returns to her spot where she was meditating before.

After about a month of meditating one day while sitting in the Grand Library meditating suddenly she sees a creature in front of her made of fire and stone with wings and no legs to be seen.

It smiles warmly at her “hello Evangel Lucretian.”

“who are you and how did you know my full name I haven't told anyone”

I am the representation of your sword and shield. To unlock the powers of the sword and shield you must defeat me.”

“Why must I defeat you to do this?”she asks.

“It is the way I will determine you worthy of the mighty power of the holy weapon Uriel and the shield Aegis.” calmly states the being.

“I am unsure about this but if this is what I must do to use them to their fullest potential then I will.”

As soon as she says this the world changes to the volcanic training grounds and she sees her sword and shield bracelets appear on her wrists. Tapping them brings out not Uriel and Aegis but a standard khopesh and a shield. The manifestation pulls out Uriel and Aegis.

Eve charged the manifestation as it held up Aegis as the eyes glowed and the light engulfed her and she found herself in the library and GM was reading a book but when she tried to approach an invisible wall blocked her and Eve called out to him “Grandmaster Grandmaster can you hear me” but no answer came as she continued to call out all of reality started to fade away and she tried to reach out to him but failed to as he faded as well and she was left alone in a empty void as she fell to her knees and curled up into a ball as she cried for what felt like hours and she she heard a voice in the back of her head

‘This isn’t real’ Eve heard and she stood up.

“Who said that” Eve yelled but no reply until it repeated what it said.

“This isn’t real” it said again as she remembered what she was doing and understood what i had to do as she walked to the invisible wall and drew her fist back as she punch the wall the illusion started to shatter as she found herself in front of the manifestation and it put the shield to its side where it disappeared. Seeing that the fear produced by Aegis did nothing to Eve the manifestation swings Uriel and a wave of fire comes hurtling towards Eve. Eve spots a boulder and runs to get behind it as she watched the flames rush past she sighs in relief and after the wave of flames passes eve she bursts from behind the boulder towards the manifestation as it sent wave after wave of flames towards her she uses boulders and rocks to hide behind as she draws closer and closer to it and after she reached it, it tried to stab eve but she used her khopesh to hook its blade as eve knocked it out of it's hand and it tried to shield bash Eve as she dodged and cut off it arm as it passed her. It roars in pain and it used it free arm to punch eve as she held up her shield to block but she was knocked away and she landed near the sword and shield as she dropped her khopesh and shield and she picked up Uriel and Aegis the manifestation charged her and as eve stood up she felt a rush of energy as she charged as well as she sent a slash of fire towards it and as it hit it lost its balance and eve thrusted the sword forward as she blade went clean through it's chest and as it fell to the ground eve woke up in the library to find she is holding Uriel and Aegis and Uriel was blazing and everyone was cowering in fear and just with a thought she Willed them to stop and they obeyed her Will.

“Thank you Uriel and Aegis for choosing me.” Eve proclaims.

Celestia is sitting in her study putting the finishing touches on a letter to the Theocracy on Whale Island. After finishing the letter she sits back and sighs.

“I am sorry to do this but you have left me no other choice in the matter. I am sorry Luna.” Celestia with a heavy heart sends the letter by magic.
