Prologue: the way to Denequus (updated)
in the Void
BETSUNI APPEAR BEFORE ME I REQUIRE A HERO TO AID MY TAURS" bellows a sixteen foot tall faceless Minotaur.
The Being known as Betsuni appeared into existence. At first glance he is an amalgamation of many things; the left bottom half of his body, the leg and left lower torso, from bottom to top fire, earth, water, and wind are all represented. The right bottom half looks like space, time, realities, and dimensions all had a baby. The top left half of his body is blood red representing blood-lust. The top right half is void black representing the void/darkness. His face is a mask in the drama mask style white but eyeless now on the smile are different colors on both halves of the mask on the left side of the mask its blood red on the right side it’s void black. His clothes look like something from a magician's act.
“I see alright I have someone that might be interested you’re lucky that your world is interesting.” Betsuni replies
"Ah King Betsuni it is good to see you." says the Faceless Horned god
“I heard your request and the mlp verse is one of my favored verses so I checked and liked it so I’m off to see your hero later.” Betsuni replies.
POV Evangel Lucretian: rainy day in Los Angeles, California, USA
Detective Eva Lucretian was in a warehouse laying in the arms of her boyfriend with a gunshot wound in her chest, and a body lay not far from her with a bullet in his head.
‘Oh man how did I get into this mess.’ Eva laments as she coughed up blood.
‘It probably all started when I was ten years old and we found out our mom had the big PC, Pancreatic Cancer.
‘I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a wonderful day at the park and we were going to have a picnic but when we got to a good spot and began to set everything up before my mother collapsed and we rushed her to the hospital. We were playing in the corner of the doctor's office when he delivered the news.’ “I'm sorry to say M, Mrs. Lucretian,t s stage three Pancreatic cancer. You have six months to a year to live.” ‘Six months later she passed away. I Tried to be strong at the funeral like my big Sister but I couldn't do it, I cried all the time and didn't stop until they buried her. Not even a year and a half later my big sister Alexandra committed suicide by overdosing on her meds thanks in part to our mother's death. For six months after my sister died my dad smothered me with love and gifts.’
‘My dad was a LAPD officer for ten years before he first took his detectives exams and failed. The day my mom died he was scheduled to take them again but worrying about her passing away caused him to not be able to concentrate he failed. The third time he took them three years later he passed and he joined the Juvenile division for the next five years until an opening in the Robbery-Homicide division showed up three weeks after my twenty-second birthday. Three weeks into my dad's second month there he gets called to go to the scene of a high-end robbery. My dad was told to find clues of an old artifact that was stolen that day and return it to the owner. The only clues they found were a single shoe print outside the window and tool marks from a high-end lockpick set ’
‘I was in the middle of the shooting range one day a few weeks later when I heard something in the background but I ignored it and keep practicing and after a few minutes someone tapped me on the shoulder and I looked behind me, it was Julian who worked in Communications and he was not looking happy.’ “Hey, Eva, sorry to tell you this but I just got a call that your dad was in a wreck and he has severe third-degree burns over twenty-five percent of his body.”
‘Once I heard this we rushed to the hospital and ran up to the nurse's station asking for my father’s room. The nurse does the usual song and dance of are you family and all that bull***t before she tells us where his room is, when we get there he is just barely conscious and he is in a bad way.’
“Hey kiddos, guess I'm in a pretty bad way for both of you to be here in the middle of the day like this,” he says when he sees us in the doorway.
“Hey don’t talk like that you will be up and back on the job in no time!” I say hiding my horror at how bad his burns look.
“Yeah, Mr. Eric,” Julian agreed. “You’re the toughest guy I know. If anyone will pull through this, it’s you.”
“Excuse me Evangel, Julian can I get through to talk to your father?” states an unknown yet familiar voice from behind me.
‘I turned around and see my Godfather Chadsworth Edward's who is a very good friend of my fathers from the police force.’ “Chad I'm so glad to see you,” I said.
“Its detective, Evangel, I'm still on duty. Could you both step out so I can talk to your father.” Detective Edwards says.
“Sure thing Detective Chadsworth I’ll give you the room.” Julian said as he herded me out, closing the door behind me before putting our ears to it.
POV father
“Ok Eric tell me what happened” My closest friend and fellow detective Chad asked.
“Ok Chad here is what happened” I said.
Last night
I was driving home last night after a few weeks of investigating the crime scene and I was in deep thought on how it all connected if we knew what artifact was stolen we might find a lead but the owner wouldn’t tell us so we were stuck until we could learn more and I noticed something behind me it looked like it was following me but I ignored it but after a few minutes it was still following me and I was nearing my house but I passed by to make sure he followed me away and it closed the distance slowly catching up and I drove out of town by the time it was close and it gained speed quickly and bumped the side of my car almost making me lose control but it bumped me again. The car flipped as it skidded across the road and came to a stop and the car stopped a fair distance from me as I crawled out and pulled out my pistol and stayed behind the car for cover since there wasn’t anything else.
I heard the car door open and close and I heard weapons being loaded as they fired and I gave off a few blind shots towards them and heard a pained yell and a body hitting the ground. I look under the car to see who I hit I saw three men all with Brotherhood of the Eternal Word tattoos around their left eye denoting them as grunts and one was on the ground with his hand on his left shoulder and started firing again and my hand felt wet as I looked down and saw the fuel line was damaged and was spreading fuel along the ground around the car and they started to fire at the car as it set fire and exploded and my last thought were of my daughter and how I would never see her again as I gave off two last shots and killed two of them and the guy I shot in the shoulder got away as I was blown away by the explosion and landed on the ground as I felt myself slipping away I heard sirens in the distance as everything faded away.
Present
“And that’s everything.” I said finishing telling him what happened.
Wow that's a lot to take in Eric. It seems that BotEW has resurfaced.”
POV Evangel
‘I was leaning on the door listening to everything my father said to his friend and I thought ‘who and what is the Brotherhood of the Eternal Word and why would they be after my dad because a simple B&E.’ After Detective Chadsworth left we went back in and told my dad we had to get back to work so we said our goodbyes and we went back to work. For the rest of the week I couldn’t get that conversation I heard out of my mind so at the end of the week I went into his study and went to his computer logged in using his username and password that I have known for years and after getting in I searched for the Brotherhood in his files. What I found was mind blowing, fifty-six files on the Brotherhood of the Eternal Word, they were and I guess still are a criminal organization that had a hand in everything from small time crimes like petty theft and prostitution to felonies like grand theft auto, murder, and human trafficking and always the heads of the organization evaded capture and prosecution and they were also a major player in the South Los Angeles area. Then one day about five years ago they just up and vanished. No one knew why according to the files they just went silent and weren’t heard from until my dad's accident.’
‘The next morning I got a call from the hospital while I was with Julian that my dad was in surgery for some pieces of shrapnel that were near his spine. Since it was Saturday we went down to the hospital and waited for some answers to his condition. A few hours later a doctor came out and told us my dad had a piece of shrapnel lodged in his spine and he will never be able to walk again. To say I was heartbroken was an understatement, I was devastated.’
‘After my dad came home from the hospital in a wheelchair and we got him home it was obvious he was having trouble with things and he had sudden surges of pain through his back that left him unable to move for hours at a time so I had to do the chores around the house for him with Julian's help of course. Since he couldn’t stand I also had to do the cooking and reach the higher shelves for him and since he was crippled he couldn't work at the station and I was the only one working now so money was low most of the time and the bills were getting harder to pay on time and my father was trying to look for work but he was turned down at every interview he went to because of his condition that left him unable to move sometimes but that didn’t stop him from trying to help.
It has been a month since my dad left the hospital and times were getting tough and I was aiming for a promotion so I could get a better pay so I could support the both of us and it was the day of the test for me to become a detective like my father. They were planning something a little different this year for the test they would put us in a room one at a time and they would be clues around the room and they had to find out how they got in and what they took and their actions during it and I was the last to take the test and it was different for everyone and after I walked in the room I saw there was tinted glass on the left side of the room probably so they could watch to see what I did to come up with my conclusion. I looked around the room to look for clues and see if anything was out of place and I looked on the dresser and saw dust on it but there was several spots were that wasn’t dust so something was moved from the dresser and I continued to look around and I felt a slight breeze and I looked to the window and saw it was open very slightly to were you had to really look at it to notice and I opened it and saw a few spots where the wood looked like it was forced down maybe from a crowbar opening the window forcefully but I still wanted to look around to see if anything else is missing and I was looking though draws of a nearby desk and found severely thing like school books a phone a few pencils and pens and other things you would normally find in a desk and the bottom of one of the draws shifted slightly and I saw it was a false bottom and I used one of the pens to help open it and I saw a few bundles of money they were fake obviously but they were put their so they would supposed to be real money. After a few more minutes of looking around the room and see subtle hints of intrusion like large footprints in the carpet that were outlined with a little dirt and several items that looked like they were moved recently and I came up with my conclusion and I knock on the tinted glass and the door opened and I walked out of the room to explain my conclusion and I was led to a room with several high ranking officers and they were holding papers and they told me to sit down.
“So what was your conclusion.” One of them asked and I started my explanation.
“Well first thing I found was that several items were recently moved from the dresser and that is when I felt a slight breeze in the room and I looked at the window and saw it was forced open by a crowbar so that is how they got in and I decided to look some more and I looked in the desk and found the false bottom and found several bundles of money hidden away and there were footprints on the carpet that were outlined with dirt they suggested a young adult broke in and the money was what they were after but when they couldn’t find it they took what was on the dresser so they wouldn’t leave empty handed.” ‘I explained and they nodded and looked at their papers.’
“We will need time to discuss this so can you wait till tomorrow to hear our decision.” ‘A female officer said and I nodded and left the room.’
‘The next morning I received a call from the station and it was about my promotion. It was approved and I would start next month on my new job and I told my dad, he was so proud of me and we decided to go out to eat tonight.’
Three months later
‘It had been two months since I made detective and I finally picked up a lead on the Brotherhood of the Eternal Word and I found a similar relic to the one that they stole that my dad was investigating in a museum in town and I drove up to a parking lot nearby to see if they would try to steal it and it was around two in the morning that I saw something a figure wearing dark clothing in the alley near the museum and he ran for it and he hid by a garbage bin outside the museum and he pulled a crowbar out of his coat and forced a window open and I called it in and and they said they would send officers immediately and I ran for the open window and jumped inside so I could catch the thief and I looked around the corner and saw him and he had his hood down and I saw the snake tattoo around around his left eye and he was about to smash the glass that had the artifact and it looked like it was half of an amulet and after he busted the glass I ran around the corner and pulled out my gun.’
“Put your hands over your head and drop the crowbar.” ‘I yelled and he flinched and looked at me and he dropped the crowbar but instead of listening he grabbed the amulet and ran I shot three time but they missed since he used the museums columns and displays as cover and I ran after him and he jumped through a closed window make the glass shatter and the alarm went off. I jumped through the window after him and we ran through the streets and alleys of the city and I was constantly yelling my location through my radio so they could follow and we ran until we reached the docks and he ran into a abandoned warehouse that looked like it was about to fall any day now and I walked inside and closed the door behind me with a loud creaking sound and I stayed in the shadows and tried to find the thief.’
“Come out, come out wherever you are you pig” said the thief in a muscular voice and his voice echoed throughout the warehouse so it was hard to tell where he was.
I stayed hidden and I saw a light turn on in other side of the warehouse and I made my way over and I saw a crate and it had the amulet along with another on that seemed to be the other half and I knew what he wanted me to do so I stayed out of sight and waited for him to grow impatient and I didn’t wait long and I saw him step into the light and he looked agitated and angry and he looked around trying to find me.
“Come out little brat” He yelled throughout the warehouse and he pulled out his gun
“I'm not little or a brat I'm a detective with the LAPD.” I said and he shot in the direction of my voice and chipped off a corner of a crate next to me and i fired back and he hid behind a large stack of boxes and he shot from behind the boxes blindly and a bullet grazed my shoulder slightly and a fired a few more shoots before I ran for a different hiding place and reloaded my gun and I could hear him doing the same and he ran from cover and shoot the boxes near me and one of them went through the crate I was using as cover and went through my chest and I fell down from the pile ob boxes and crates I was on and hit the floor and I could hear laughter and I saw the man that shoot me holding the two halves of the amulet and he held his gun in his other hand and he looked at me and smiled sadistically as he kicked away my gun then kneeled down and got a better look at me.
“You know you look like a detective I was sent to kill once” the thief said and I coughed up blood “even though he didn’t die he was crippled” my eyes widened when he said that and I stared at him furiously before I heard a gunshot then his head shot back and he threw the halves of the amulet through the air and they fell in my hand and they magnetically connected to each other and became one again as the thief fell to the ground dead and I felt myself passing away as well, I coughed up blood again and I heard sirens in the distance before I felt myself get lifted gently into someone's lap and now we are back to where we started. As I feel my life slipping away and my eyes close and I feel a sudden burst of strength and open my eyes and see a very strange sight I am sitting in an interview room like what you would find in a police station except it feels different somehow almost other-worldly. As I look around I see another chair that is empty until I blink then the other one has a very unusual person in it. At first glance he is an amalgamation of many things; the left bottom half of his body, the leg and left lower torso, from bottom to top fire, earth, water, and wind are all represented. The right bottom half looks like space, time, realities, and dimensions all had a baby. The top left half of his body is blood red representing blood-lust. The top right half is void black representing the void/darkness. His face is a mask in the drama mask style white but eyeless now on the smile are different colors on both halves of the mask on the left side of the mask it’s blood red on the right side it’s void black. His clothes look like something from a magician's act.
After some very colorful language I calmed down.
"Amusing" he said. To my confusion it sounded wrong I know he didn't open his mouth and it didn't sound like telepathy it was almost like it was a contradiction of sound.
"How did you do that without speaking?" I said trying to not panic.
In the same wordless 'voice', "It’s the evolution of telepathy instead of hearing my thoughts I directly feed info into your mind to know what I say.”
Not really understanding what he means but deciding to go along with it I chose to get right to the point "Ok? So what do you want with me?"
He replies “I am here to offer you a contract and if you wish to know what’s on the contract just think -contract appear-.“
Not seeing anything to lose I thought "-contract appear-." All of a sudden a large scroll appeared in front of me when I opened it it read ‘I Evangel Lucretian give my past to Betsuni for a better future in a new world. I will become one of the Seraphim with Uriel and Aegis in hand. I will be given knowledge of a language that the locals will understand. Should I be in need of more I agree that I shall call upon Betsuni for a quest. Betsuni is to only be summoned for big requests or events, unless needed normal requests will be settled by an agent of Betsuni known as Pinkamena Diane Pie better known as one Pinkie Pie.’
I think it over for a while weighing the pros and cons of taking the contract. For one I would lose my past but I would also gain new abilities and two I would get two cool weapons. After considering it for a while I decided to agree with the contract, immediately after I decided that the scroll begins to glow and the signature line fills out with my name and I black out.
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. "
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.

Ch.2
POV Eva
I have been tracking a manticore for the past two days ever since we got a call for help from the Satyrs in the foothills near our main temple. The Satyr's are an unusual people that resemble humans, but with the legs of goats. The males all are pudgy, have goatees and ramshorns, while the females have hourglass bodies with large busts and no horns or facial hair.
I set a pit trap earlier today in an area I believed it would return to and decided to wait and see if my trap bears any fruit. So far I seemed to have wasted some valuable time waiting around and digging that trap. Not two minutes after I decide to move on I hear my trap get sprung. I run over to see and what I see baffles me there is a winged manticore staring at the trap. Then as if it can sense her it whips around and starts to charge her.
In a panic, I ran away yelling “OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT!!!!”
I soon realized that I could not outrun the manticore so I turned around to face it and as I drew my sword it burst into flames. The manticore jumped in the air and spreads its wings to glide towards me and as he got closer I jumped to the side and swung my sword setting its mane on fire.
The manticore roared in pain as it fell to the ground and rolled around to put out the fire after it stopped it stood on its feet and saw it mane was completely burned off so it charged again so I held my shield in front of me drew on my Will and tried to use the Fear Gaze ability but it faltered and did nothing so I tried my sword again but the manticore stopped in front of me and thrust it’s scorpion tail make my sword go flying and for it to graze my arm with the side of its tail the wound was not deep but it was bleeding profusely so I needed to end this quickly.
It tried to attack with its tail again but I lifted my shield to block but when it made contact it shoved me back a few feet I tried the Fear Gaze ability again but again it failed and the manticore struck again with its claws this time and it pushed my shield to the side as it cut through my armored tunic and into my chest between my breasts, It lunged at me next but I jumped out of the way but I did not get away unscathed as its claws hit my back sending me flying. I hit a tree with my shield still attached to my arm and the manticore was charging me again and I held my shield up using every bit of my Will into my shield. The shield glowed brightly as the front split open the light was so bright it blinded me and the manticore but it quickly faded and when I opened my eyes I put down my shield to see the manticore was slowly turning to stone and it struggled to try to reach me before it was finished only to be in vain as it was now completely stone.
Suffice it to say I was confused, I didn't know that my shield could petrify at all, let alone so quickly. After I made sure that the manticore was well and truly stone I headed back to the village and told them I took care of the manticore, then I headed off towards the Main Temple complex in the mountains to get my wound cared for.
I had just arrived at the temple and I saw the Grandmaster waiting for me he looked at my injuries and then spoke.”After you get your wounds treated I need to talk to you.” He said and he took me to the infirmary where the healers treated my wounds.
“Princess Celestia sent me a letter the other day requesting our assistance I want you to accompany me to Equestria and help me deal with it.” He said as they finished wrapping my cuts in bandages and I got up.
“Of course Grandmaster,” I said and he gave me time to pack the necessities and we left for Equestria.
During our travel I saw many things like creatures I have never seen before like Griffins and when we entered Equestria ponies they walked on all two hooves and had hands they had snouts and there were three species of them there were unicorns pegasi and normal ponies they were going about their day but many of them were looking at us with caution and some looked at us with disgust they must not like other races.”So where are we going?” I asked the Grandmaster.
He pointed towards the forest and said “I received a letter from Princess Celestia that she needed my assistance with something she did not go into much detail in her letter but we will be at the castle soon we just have to go through the everfree.” we entered soon after and walked through the forest we got to the center of the forest before we came up to a bridge that went over a cavern.
“Is this safe?” I asked.
The Grandmaster said as we crossed to the other side “Yes it is safe it has held for many years.” and then we saw a huge castle with a banner of two alicorns circling a sun over a crescent moon . As we walked up to the front door and we noticed there we no guards we walked right in but as we approached the throne room we heard fighting we rushed inside and saw two alicorns fighting. The first alicorn had white fur, she wore a white dress will a golden outline and her mane was like a rainbow and flowed in the air. The other had pure black fur, sharp teeth, cat-like eyes, and her mane look like the night sky and it also flowed in the wind.
They were fighting in the air and they suddenly blow the roof off the throne room. They continued to fight in the sky.
“We have to help,” I said and he nodded his head in agreement and he reaches in his robe and pulled out what looked like a collapsible bo staff and we headed to where they were fighting.
We got outside when we saw the black alicorn shoot down the white one with a spell she landed some ways away but we heard a thump and saw the black one landed near us.
“Why is a minotaur and whatever you are doing in my castle.” She said to us and I grabbed Uriel and Aegis from my back and held them close she saw this and attacked by firing a spell at the Grandmaster he jumped out of the way and rolled on the ground but quickly got back on his feet as he and I charged her from both sides my sword lit up with fire as I swung my sword over my head and at her she pulled out two short swords from nowhere and the Grandmaster swung his staff and the alicorn blocked both of our attacks and she laughed.
“You think such pathetic attacks could harm me, Nightmare Moon.” She said as she pushes us away with her magic.
The Grandmaster looked at me with a knowing look and I understood as I charged her I held my shield up as I thrust my sword as it lights ablaze with fire she dodges it by jumping to the left and the Grandmaster was waiting for her he reached in his robes again and pulled what looked like two hook blades and he hooked her short swords hilts and held them in place.
“Now Eve!” he yelled as I jumped in the air and held my sword over my head and swing it down but Nightmare moon was able to move out of the way a bit but she did not escape unscathed my sword hit her arm causing a deep wound and burning, she screamed in pain as she looked at her burnt arms her horn light up and the wound started to close quickly and the burns disappeared.
“What,” I said and she fired a bolt of magic at me sending me flying through the air and hit a nearby wall and fell to the ground I struggled to get up but Nightmare wasn't done she fired a massive beam of energy at me and my life flashed before my eyes every moment from when I first meet the minotaurs to this one played through my mind as I prepared for the end and I closed my eyes then the explosion.
I was blown away by the shockwave of the blast but I landed on the ground surprisingly unharmed by the blast I opened my eyes and saw a figure it was hard to see through the dust but it settled and I saw who it was it was the Grandmaster he shielded me from most of the blast he fell to his knees as he went down I sprinted towards him hearing a whoosh but ignoring it my speed increased and I was able to catch him before he fell to the ground.
“Grandmaster are you alright?” I asked and he didn’t answer.”Answer me!” I yelled and he opened his eyes and breathed heavily.
In a wheezing voice, Grand Master said: “I never thought I would see the day *cough* a Winged One graced us with their presence *cough* *wheeze* and here you were this whole time under my nose.”
At his confusing words, I look at my back and see three pairs of coal black wings. To say I was surprised is an understatement but I was quickly brought back to the present as I hear Grand Master Bronze Courage’s breathing stop. Thinking he was pulling a prank on me I shake him hard trying to rouse him but to no effect, I continued shaking him for a few minutes before I heard Nightmare Moon laughing wickedly.
“It is over little girl he is dead accept it.”She said with a grin.
I couldn’t accept this ever since I came here he has been like a father to me training me teaching me to use Uriel and Aegis he took care of me and help me when I needed him most. I laid his body on the ground gently as I stood up.
“Giving up girl.” Nightmare said
I could feel my wings starting to move on their own as if they had their own will and I lunged at her with my wings increasing my speed nearly tenfold surprising her as my sword’s fire brightened to an extent where it was almost blinding Nightmare held up her swords and blocked mine from hitting but they started to melt as it made contact.
She dropped her swords and teleported out of the way I found her on a ledge and I flew through the air to catch her she tried to fly through the air but I followed as our battle took to the skies we clashed many times as we fought she used her magic to make shields to deflect my swords fire I swung my sword and a wave of fire similar to when I had to fight the representation of my sword and shield but a weaker version of it she dodged it so I decided to slide the distance and I headed straight for her I swung again and she fired a bolt of magic to intercept it.
When they meet they exploded nearly sending us flying away but we managed to hold still until the shock wave ended we both flew towards each other and as we neared her horn light up and my swords fire grew stronger I swung my sword as she fired her magic and we were near inches away from each other as our attack clashed it was a stalemate with were both struggling to push against each other our clash and the conflict sent waves of fire and magic everywhere and a mass of energy started to form between us and started to grow and become wild as it grew more powerful then it exploded sending us in opposite directions.
As this was happening the other alicorn has been using magic on six gemstones that had then started to orbit her. She then yells “NIGHTMARE MOON YOU HAVE LEFT ME NO CHOICE I HEREBY SENTENCE YOU TO BANISHMENT TO THE MOON YOU SO DEARLY LOVE.” Then a rainbow formed from the gems and shot at Nightmare Moon.
Just before the rainbow hits her she says “On the longest day of the thousandth year I will return” and with that, she is enveloped by the rainbow and disappears with a silhouette of her head appearing on the moon.
After this all I hear is the alicorn crying but I could care less, I stormed up to her and yelled: “WHY DID YOU DO THAT I NEEDED TO AVENGE HIS DEATH!” I yelled at her and caught her off guard
“What do you mean?” She asked cautiously.
“That monster killed Grand Master Bronze Courage the only person that helped me when I needed it most,” I told her as I pointed at his dead body that was lying on the ground covered in magic burns and blood and she looked at him with eyes filled with sorrow.
“I should have never sent that letter.” She said as she looked at the ground ashamed.
“If you hadn't sent it you would probably be dead right now,” I said sorrowfully. “I have a request for you your highness. Would you erect a reflective shield so I may use one of my shields abilities?”
Surprised by my question she asked me a question.
“Why?” She said simply as she looked me in the eyes.
“One of my shield’s abilities is turning things that it sees to stone as if it were one of the Stone Sisters,” I told her and she said nothing for a little while until a look of realization crossed her muzzle.
“You want to effectively kill yourself don’t you?” She asked me as she looked at the moon and saw the alicorn shape in the moon.
“I JUST WANT THE PAIN TO STOP!” I yelled and my voices echoed through the castle.
“Is it permanent?” She asked me.
“As far as I know yes,” I said.
“It is not my place to change your mind but think about this before you do it.” She told me but it fell on deaf ears as my pain clouded my thoughts.
“Please just do it,” I begged and she nodded as a reflective shield appeared around me.
“Before you do it is there anything you want from me?” She pleaded and I shook my head and I lifted my shield and tried to remember the feeling I had when I turn the manticore to stone and as it began to glow I could feel my body begin to stiffen and I looked down to see myself slowly turning to stone, I decided if I was going to be a statue I damn well was gonna be a cool looking one so I drew my sword and raised it above my head and put my shield in front of me right before my arms turned to stone but my sword fell out of my hand as my shield continued to glow for another moment until my head was completely turned in stone then stopped glowing but didn't turn to stone itself.
POV change Celestia
As I went to move her statue to an empty pedestal near Discord’s I feel a spark of life inside it meaning she is alive in there. “If you can hear me and I hope you can I will make sure these are taken care of for you so when I find a way to free you they can be returned to you. Even if it takes me a thousand years I will free you.”
END Chapter
Ch 3 part 1 Orgran takes the stage
POV change Eva: 999 years 362 days later Canterlot Castle gardens
For the last few centuries, I have had to deal with the perpetual chatter of one self-proclaimed Lord of Chaos. But it wasn't all bad we actually had some good conversations that helped me keep my sanity along with the frequent visits of one Princess of the Sun to tell me she feels like she is getting close to a way to free me. Just the other day the latest in a long line of tour groups came by and I for the first time in probably a century I listened to the guide. “And here we have a unique statue known as the Winged Warrior who legend says wielded a sword of fire and a shield with a Stone Sisters face on it. Legend states that she was sent with a minotaur companion to stop Nightmare Moon from killing our princess and that she was sent by the Faceless Horned God the deity of the minotaurs.”
As I am standing here today Celestia ‘Huh I wonder why Celestia is running up to me with a bunch of guards’
“Take this statue to my chambers immediately and stand guard over it until I return” Celestia ordered before flying off.
POV change the third person centered on Celestia
Celestia flew out of Canterlot towards the Everfree Castle ruins to retrieve the sword and shield of the Winged Warrior to free her. Celestia lands in front of the ruins and walks inside and as she strolls through the ruined halls she remembers the fond memories she made here with her sister and all of the bad ones such as how she failed to realize her sister’s depression before it was too late to help her and as she walked into the throne room she remembered her battle with Nightmare Moon and the death of the one that she sent for, the Grand Master of the minotaurs. From there she proceeded up to the thrones and pushed her throne back to reveal a hidden alcove with a powerful barrier made by Celestia over it. Disabling the barrier she reaches in and finds what she is looking for then replaced the barrier over the recess, pushed back the throne and departed back to Canterlot Castle.
Celestia with a nervous twitch said, “I hope I can do this she deserves it.”
POV change first person Eva
I had been standing here for what felt like hours but was more like an hour and a half when Celestia landed on the balcony with my sword and shield in her hands. Looking to the guards Celestia says “Leave us please.” She laid my sword in my raised hand and my shield in my other just like before I fully turned to stone and candle lit the room as Celestia looked like she was channeling her magic as her horn glowed and I could see the candles were starting to blow out as the wind started to form in the room and dust started to gather making the wind visible as it circled the room. Celestia had her eyes closed during this and as she opened them her eyes glowed white as she levitated in the air slightly and the wind started going faster and faster as it blew out the candles one by one then it was like a storm was forming as it gathered towards the ceiling and it formed clouds and thunder could be heard as flashes of lightning started flying around the room and then the lightning struck my shield and it started glowing and the glow spread to my arms and continued to spread along my body and as it covered all of my body I could feel the power that was coursing through the spell and suddenly the stone exploded off me sending rainbow colored shockwave throughout the room. I started to collapse onto my knees weak from the centuries of not moving but before I fell to the ground Celestia caught me. Celestia picked me up in her magic, sword and all and carried me to the bed to rest. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
POV change first person Celestia
I tippy-hoofed out of my bedroom into the foyer of my chambers and closed the door. “What are you doing Princess?” asked the familiar voice of my most faithful personal student Twilight Sparkle from behind me.
I jump startled that she would be in my chambers without letting me know.”Oh hello, Twilight is there a reason you come into my chambers without knocking?” I asked
“Well yes, Princess it’s time for our scheduled lesson today and as I was passing the statue garden I saw that the Winged Warrior statue was missing.” She said and I completely forgot about that I was too busy about releasing the girl that was trapped in stone.
“Well yes I had it removed because I needed it for a few minutes in order to do something there is no need to worry about it so shall we start your lessons,” I said and she had a huge smile on her face and we left my chambers. For the rest of the afternoon, Twilight and I strolled through the garden as I gave her lessons on magic.
After the lessons, I went to check on the girl to find her still sleeping but she managed to open her eyes slightly.
“Why?” She asked as she struggled to stay awake.
“I did it because I need your help, Nightmare Moon is going to be free in three days.”
Before she could respond, we both turned to the doors of the room slamming open, an out of breath and panicked looking Twilight in the hall outside holding a familiar book. “Princess Celestia, I think the prophecy of Nightmare Moon is about to come true during the Summer Sun Celebration!” after her short outburst, she blinked and looked to the other occupant in the room. “Isn’t that the statue you put next to the one representing Discord?”
Surprised by this I say the first thing that comes to my mind “don't be absurd Twilight, this is just an old friend of mine.”
“Oh? What’s her name?”
POV change first person Eva
“Hi, my name is Evangel Lucretian,” I say, nervous about her finding out I was the statue.
“Oh! Well, I’m Twilight Sparkle, I’m Celestia’s personal student… sorry to interrupt your meeting but I thought it’d be urgent to warn you of the danger.” Twilight said as she pulled out a book that was titled ‘Prophecies And Predictions’ and she opened it to a page. “I found this book on Prophecies by Starswirl the bearded and found the tale of Nightmare Moon and her return on the thousandth year of her banishment to the moon and that is this summer sun celebration.” She said and I clenched my fist in anger at that name but Twilight did not seem to notice as she looked at her book.
“My dear student Nightmare moon is only an old pony tale,” Celestia said and I looked at her in confusion but she looked back at me with a smile and I could tell she wanted me to keep quiet about it for now.
“But it is Starswirl's prediction,” Twilight said as she gave her the book.
Celestia looked at the page and closed the book and gave it back to her student “I will admit he did write this but he had gotten very old and was saying random nonsense every now and again” Celestia said and Twilights mouth hung wide open as she looked at Celestia in shock.
“Bb-but it’s his prediction.” Twilight stuttered as she held the book shakily.
“But we have another matter to deal with,” Celestia said.
“Does your old castle still stand Celestia?” I asked and her smile fell.
“Her old castle was abandoned hundreds of years ago,” Twilight said as she looked at me with questioning eyes and Celestia stepped in.
“Yes, it fell long ago to time,” Celestia said then looked to Twilight. “You see Twilight Eva has been away for a long time and has been in solitude for many years she does not know much of the modern world today.” She told her and Twilight nodded. “Also I have a task for you in a few days I want you to go ponyville to check on preparations for the celebration and I want you to take Eva with you so she can be caught up with modern times.” She told her student.
“I understand.” She said and left the room and a guard came in shortly after.
“Princess! I come with… um, is this a bad time?” He said when he noticed the situation.
“No not at all corporal what did you need?” Celestia said in a motherly manner.
“Well, not long after you told us to move the Winged Warrior statue to your room, a strange emerald pendant dropped onto the pedestal, we would’ve waited to inform you of this after some study except seconds later it began to move towards the castle, we’ve determined that it will arrive in this room shortly.” Soon after he said that the emerald pendant in question, shaped like a Pickaxe, hopped into the room towards me.
“Now that's unusual what do you think I should do” just as I said that it fell at my feet and started to speak… or rather, sing .
“Here comes a Dwarf with a bit o’ class, if yer evil I’ll kick yer ass!
“Completely and utterly unbelievable it spoke!” I said and I incredulously shout to everyone's confusion “ORGRAN THE RED COME ON DOWN!”
To everyone’s shock, the Pickaxe came to life again, growing to the size of the actual tool before rising into the air and slamming the point into reality, creating cracks in the air around it as if it hit a wall of rock. It didn’t stop its work as it repeatedly struck the opening it made until eventually, reality crumbled, revealing a large earthen tunnel that led into blackness. The silence was broken as we heard screams and two sets of running footsteps, one of hooves and the other of heavy iron boots.
Panicked I looked to Celestia and said: “where are my sword and shield?” Celestia just points to them on the nightstand which I proceed to pick up and wield left-handed.
Now fully armed I prepared for whatever was coming through, which turned out to be a bipedal deer-like creature in robes with a staff, his breathing frantic as he ran out and hid behind me in pure terror. “Please help me! He’s going to kill me!!” he screamed as he cowered.
I pointed my sword at the portal as the blade lit on fire and Celestia was suddenly wrapped in light as golden armor appeared on her and she wielded a halberd she and the guard secured the creature while I faced the portal waiting for something to come out of it.
There were heavy, iron thunks of boots as the entity drew closer, the weight of each step implied it was a truly powerful being, armored and armed to the teeth that we might risk facing, the clearly male creature groaned as he stepped out of the shadows of the entrance.
And we looked to see a short, crimson-bearded man, half my height and wielding a battle axe in one hand that would be too big for a normal sized person and drinking from an ale mug with the other. His body covered head to toe in armor marked in runic carvings and upon his back was a warhammer similar in size to the axe. On his head were tinted black goggles and upon his hips smaller throwing axes. As I finally finished taking in the sight of this Dwarf, he seemed to finally finish his drink, letting out a loud and deep burp that shook the room.
I lowered my sword as I took in the dwarf knowing he is honorable and a mighty warrior that I could trust. “Hail mighty dwarf what brings you here?”
“Oi Seraphim! Get away from me kill! He overcooked my bird and he must pay!”
“What is he your chef?” I said.
“Oh hell naw! I can list the shit he is right now; a rapist, an asshole, an assassin, a crappy shaman that can’t aim his flame spells right, but a Chef he is not!”
With a scary look in my eyes, I turned to the deer creature “did you just say, rapist?”
“Oh yeah, him and his kind-exception being four I know of-have this idealism of male superiority, so they want to take every female of any universe and turn them all into sex slaves fit only for ‘male dominance’ like the assholes they are… oh, and they kinda all serve a god that turned my homeland into a dead wasteland.”
“That's what I thought you said,” I reached down and squeezed his balls with all my might and everyone in the room hears a resounding *pop* as they burst. Suffice it to say he went from a baritone to a soprano in less than a second.
“OOH! Gone and popped the family balloons on that Dollar bill by Dranlun that was nasty!!” The Dwarf commented very colorfully. “Wait… aww crap, ya stole mah kill! Look at ‘im! He’s all bleeding out and oop, theeere ‘e goes.”
“Sorry I guess I don't know my own strength,” I said apologetically.
“Eh, is fine, at least he died a bitch… oh cool! Hey Celestia, is this Equestria’s alcohol utter shit too?” He said, waving to the Alicorn in question.
“As a matter of fact, I have some Order of the Faceless Horned God ale that I have been saving for the day Eva was freed from stone.” Celestia boasts.
“Hm…” the Dwarf suddenly pulled two kegs from… somewhere, passed one to Celestia before carving a rune into the other. “Hey Minotaur God! Try something special from another universe!”
There was an immediate puff of smoke as the keg disappears, a note of thanks left in its place.
“...well if a god’s interested, why not try some yourself, you two?” Orgran offered.
‘Might as well see if I can get drunk’ I think to myself. “Sure I'll try some,” Both Celestia and I said.
With a toothy grin, the Dwarf popped open the top and pulled two extra mugs, one for me and another for Celestia. “Hope you got good livers, I made this batch out of some Zap Apples.” he immediately pushed the Guard away from the barrel. “Keep away from this stuff, a slight whiff could eat your intestines alive!”
“Princess I don’t think you should drink you have a meeting tomorrow morning.” The guard said as he stepped away from the barrel.
“Well, I guess you're right and Eva has to go to ponyville tomorrow as well so we will hold off on the drinking for now,” Celestia said.
“OH! Is this the first episode?! Hot damn! Best Displaced meeting ever!” Orgran cheered.
“The first episode, Displaced what do you mean?” I asked.
“...OH… you’re one of those! Oh nah, nah! We’re fixing this right now! ...once we’re on the carriage.” He said, grabbing my hand and leaping out the window onto a carriage, placing down a random board before turning to the Pegasi. “Don’t ask questions, just fly.”
As we took off Orgran then turned to me and drew up a picture of a planet onto the board. “Step 1 of Displaced: Earth! You were here once as a Homo-Sapien, or ‘Human’ as the case may be, and different circumstances lead you to not being on Earth anymore, the most common being some bastard known as ‘The Merchant’ gave you a costume item that sent you here, of course for all I know you could’ve just gone the Isekai Anime route and ended up dying before being reincarnated here by some god you made a deal with… then, of course, you could’ve just ended up banging Faust like some idiot.”
“Faust?”
“In some Equestrias, she is the goddess of the world and in practically all of them, she is the mother of Luna and Celestia, which brings me onto step 2: Equestria! You’re not special honey, there are multiple Equestrias, each with their own quirks and traits be they good or bad, for example, a bad one is Fall Of Equestria, in which Caribou, like the guy you just castrated, succeed in taking over Equestria and turn the entire female population into slaves! Slowly breaking their will with horrible devices of sexual torment until even the noble princesses are mindless fucktoys!!” He was on fire by the end of his rant. “...yeah, it displeases me greatly.”
I am holding onto the side of the carriage in a barely restrained rage almost breaking it with my strength. “please tell me your world isn't one of those.”
“Well no, but they are trying, but I am working to prepare Equestria for the war ahead… and practically the rest of the world after I broadcasted their plans to the entire planet… so how did you end up off of planet Earth anyway? Convention? Death? The inexplicable third thing I can’t be arsed to describe?”
“all I can remember is making this contract with Betsuni,” I said as I hand Orgran my copy of it.
He skimmed it before looking me deadpan in the eye. “...do I have to make him beer too? I only brought two kegs.” Suddenly a note appears in front of us that says ‘no you don't the FHG shared with me.’ “Huh… alright then, now… do you have any questions? Because as you have a lack of memory I bet you have no fucking clue what in the hell you’re supposed to be… or rather what in the heaven, really…”
“All I know is I am a six-winged human called seraphim.”
“Angel, you are a six-winged angel called a Seraphim.”
“Come again?” I asked confused.
“Only for my wives, now pay attention. An angel is not a human, rather it is more than human, you are an entity born of the light of heaven in order to ward off the evil of demons, and as a Seraphim you are the most elite angel, the personal enforcers of God! Or gods, depending on various religions that I will not go into detail about for the sake of our sanity. Point is you are a Super-Angel, and Angel is Super-Human, got that?”
I just nod.
“Good, now, of course, that means you are a master of divine magic and holy light, I don’t know what the fuck that means for religion’s sake but in anime it means you can conjure up spears of holy light and toss them like missiles!” he noticed my confused expression. “Think a javelin that flies on its own and is able to turn if they try to dodge.”
“Where are we going?” I asked.
“We are going to Ponyville to watch destiny unfold! This is the beginning of six great heroes who fight for harmony and friendship! Oh yeah, that kind of cheesy explanation reminded me, these universes are kinda based on a show for little girls called My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic which somehow birthed a fanbase of adults both male and female.”
“wow, have you ever heard of a mare named Pinkamena Diane Pie have you?”
“Pinkie Pie? Lets see, she’s the one who will inherit the Element of laughter, becoming one of the six heroes in question, loves to make people smile with parties and baked goods, is absolutely cheerful-which is good because she’s terrifying when she’s sad, and you can tell when she is because her mane is flat when she is-breaks physics, breaks the silence, breaks the fourth wall, is theorized to be some unintended descendant of Discord, in alternate universes she’s a homicidal maniac that turns ponies into cupcakes aaaand she owns a cannon designed to set up a party in a single shot! I may have forgotten some things, but that’s what I remember.”
“Damn so that is who I have to talk to, to get a quest,” I said.
“Right, well she’s bright pink and will throw you a ‘welcome to ponyville’ party the moment she sees you… and me… they’re fun as hell.”
“I'm not sure if I like parties.”
“You ever had one?”
“I don't remember.”
“Then don’t knock it ‘till you’ve tried it, in fact, I’ll give you a tour of the whole town while she sets it up! Can’t be much different than how Ponyville is in my world… well, maybe the structure might be slightly different since the town in my Equestria had to be renovated to help with the transition from feral to anthro.”
“Feral?”
“What, you think a children’s network is going to allow a show involving pony girls with big knockers? No, ponies in the show and in most universes are quadrupeds, that was the same with my world but you see the Caribou had this plan involving dark magic crystals to turn the world anthro and conquer it while everyone was adjusting, I turned it around on them though. See, the crystals could be reprogrammed so I made a big bomb with them so that the races of my universe would have a more seamless transition, and therefore could not be disoriented by the Caribou’s own crystals… of course, I feel sorry for every crotch-plate wearing royal guard that got a boner when the maids burst out of their clothes with massive tits… I have no clue why everypony became incredibly sexy when they transformed anyway… not complaining though.” He blinked then looked over the side. “Oh look! We’re here!”
To be continued…….
Ch 3 part 2 Orgran and Eva go to Rarity's
Author's Note
hey guys and gals I forgot to place this in the last chapter but Orgran belongs to Ark Kane and his story I'm not short, I'm a Mini Ass-kicker
Ch 3 part 2 Orgran and Eva go to Rarity's
POV Orgran
We landed at the edge of the city, I decide to be a bit of a show-off and backflip out of the carriage, landing on a stone pedestal I summoned.
“I seriously don't know why you had to drag me out here today instead of just taking a walk around the grounds,” Eva said annoyed.
“Yeah, but then we might’ve run into a noble… or Blueballs, and I wanted your first impression of modern ponies to be a good one, now let’s go! Good food, friendly faces, and the fresh rural air await us-SHIT!” I slam face first into the dirt with my first step, forgetting about the pedestal I made.
“My first impression of miss sparkle was great,” she said chuckling.
“Mm smm dm mm mmmm mm…” I push my face out of the dirt. “I see that now, but maybe you meeting the nobles might’ve made you think she was the exception and not the rule, noble ponies tend to be super racist too.” I get up. “Now, for the TOUR OF AWESOME!” *lightning strike* “GAH! Where the fuck did that come from?!”
“Sorry I was trying to bust that cloud not ignite it,” says a passing weather pony.
“Eh, no harm no waterfowl,” I say… and then completely dismiss my forgiveness by throwing a duck at them. “... hey, I tried to warn ‘em.” I say as I walk off.
POV change first person Eva
I begin following the Dwarf as he headed off into town.
“Alright, first off I think we should see Carousel Boutique, because of one very important reason.”
“What is that?” I asked.
Suddenly he turned with a massive grin and a… String Bass?
“*inhale* YOUR CLOTHES ARE OOOOOOOLD! *inhale* YOUR CLOTHES ARE OOOOOOOLD!”
I bonked him in the head with the pommel of my sword and he fell down but he was right, I looked at my armor and saw some of the blood stains on it and I saw some of the ponies looking at me and whispering then walking away and I helped him up.”So where do we go to get some?” I asked.
“At the Carousel Boutique, where everything is Chique! Unique! And Magnifique! WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT MEANS!”
“Do you really have to yell my armor already attracted enough attention,” I told him.
“I find it better for them to focus on the angry yelling man than the 40k reference.”
“What 40k reference and for that matter what is 40k?”
“That is a can of worms I’ll get into later, for now just know right now you’re a literal Blood Angel and move on.”
“Whatever let’s get going,” I said bluntly.
“Alright… let’s go! I can’t be arsed to walk so…” I felt myself lifted into the air. “I’m just gonna throw ya, okay?”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Hey, batter batter! Hey, batter! Hey, batter batter! SWING!!” and with a mighty jerk of his arm, I was sent flying forward like a baseball, but somehow I felt lighter.
POV Change Orgran.
“Oh shit.” I mused as I picked up the various clothes and plates. “I think these are important.”
… I promptly began sprinting to the boutique.
Managing to beat her to the intended location I grab all the soft earth I can, make it softer by absorbing some water, then use it to catch her…
“... okay, why the fuck did I think using a hand of mud to catch a naked lady would be a good idea?!”
Unfortunately, the very loud splat informed me I was a bit too late to come to that conclusion… at least she was safe but now covered in mud.
“Well fuck, I’m dead.”
As Eva caught her breath from the sudden landing then put her armor back on and looked at me with anger that showed in her eyes as fire could be seen in them.
I said the only thing that came to mind… a very, very stupid thing. “Anyone ever told you you’re hot when you’re angry?”
{one very very very very angry fuck later}
“...wow, did not expect that, like I don’t think you really expect the person you pissed off to want in your pants,” I commented as I began putting my armor back on.
“well, you royally pissed me off.” She said.
“Yeah, I tend to have this track record of pissing off people with an immense amount of power, like there was Chrysalis who mana-punched me, then Celestia who went Daybreaker on me.” I passed her a picture of said form. “But they wanted to kill me, not fuck me… well, Chrysalis wants to fuck me now but that’s completely unrelated.”
In a small voice, Eva said, “You were my first time.”
“Oh… oh shit! I am so sorry!! Um… uh, I… oh wow I am not prepared for this um… okay, I can’t even joke about this, I feel like an asshole!!”
In that same voice, she said, “There is nothing to feel sorry about, it felt awesome.”
“Oh wow… so are we dating now?” I facepalm… then I felt that wasn’t enough and used a frying pan instead.
Shyly putting a strand of hair behind her ear she said: “Don't hit yourself too hard you don't want to dent your face.”
“Ma’am, I have headbutted a boulder and the boulder powderised, I think the pan is who you should worry about.” I blink and look around. “Ah, fuck we did it in public.”
And when I said that Eva immediately got up and started getting her armor on and running, I followed shortly after.
“I can’t believe we just did that,” Eva said as she hid behind a building.
“Yeah, but I think we both enjoyed it…” I noticed the group of ponies staring. “FUCK OFF!!” I yell before erecting a wall of stone for privacy. “Feel better?”
“I don’t know I just don’t know what to feel right now I mean I just fucked someone I just met and hardly know and in public and everyone saw it I just can’t go out there again after this.”
“Oh yeah, you probably don’t know exactly how bad this place gets, welcome to Ponyville, where the crazy and insane and stupidly dangerous happens every tuesday , trust me by tomorrow they’ll have forgotten all about this… hell, by the sounds of it everypony’s just moved on already and shrugged this whole thing off.”
“But what will they say tomorrow or the day after that?” Eva said.
“Honestly? If Pinkie’s involved the next thing they’ll say when they see you is ‘Hey Eva’ or ‘Hello Neighbor’ or even ‘Oh Eva, wanna go to Sweet Apple Acres with me for Cider Season?’, that pony is very effective at getting people to like someone, especially with a party.”
“From what I remember ponies were not ever accepting of other races,” Eva said.
“Well last I checked, you went like a victim of Maredusa for a thousand years, I think societal norms might have changed since last you saw ponykind.” I flatly stated back.
“Who?” she asked.
I groaned as I pinched the bridge of my nose. “It’s a pony pun on Medusa, the notorious Gorgon of Greek Mythology, oh yeah, pony puns are fucking everywhere . Canterlot? Old The English city on earth called Camelot. Manehattan?The American city of Manhattan, pony puns are everywhere and once you eventually get back your memories through one way or another, you are going to cringe. Hard. ” I noticed her about to speak. “I know the contract, I mean when you somehow remember the knowledge of Earth, you clearly already know what a Dwarf is so you’ve at least got that still in there even if you gave up your past.”
“so Medusa was a Stone Sister?”
“Oh no, she was originally one of the most beautiful women in Greece until the Goddess Aphrodite grew jealous and cursed her to be the first Gorgon, a monster that whoever looked into the eyes of would curse them to be stone!”
“So the first Stone Sister,” she concluded.
“Exactly, and quite a tragic story to boot…” I turned and put down the wall. “Now, shall we get you those new clothes?”
“Ok?”
I nod and lead her into the Boutique, I most CERTAINLY did not kick the door in out of habit, no sir! That door is definitely not embedded in the opposite wall, you are imagining things.
“Ugh! Orgran I'm trying to make a good impression!” Eva says exasperatedly.
“What? Didn’t you see the paragraph above, it says I DIDN’T kick the door in!” I say with confidence.
“But I just saw you do it and what paragraph?” Eva said
“Uuuuuh-hey look! Unicorn!” I point to the walking marshmallow in question.
Eva sees her and runs up and screams while picking her up “IT'S SO FLUFFY!”
“Yes, yes, she’s also lacking oxygen, please stop squeezing her to death.”
Seeing her turning magenta Eva quickly put her down and apologized while doing a cute foot scuff.
The marshmallow mare wiped the mud off her that lingered on Eva’s armor and said.”What can I do for you today besides you paying for cleaning this dress.” The mare said.
“We doth require new garments for this noble Seraphim, fair maiden,” I said in the fanciest voice I could pull off, which is actually more impressive than you would think.
Rarity smiled.”well come this way darling and we can measure you.” She said gesturing to a dressing room and Eva followed.
POV Change Rarity
I led the newcomer to the dressing room and she started to strip her armor off and I could smell the sex on her and she was covered in mud.”Well, darling, we need to get you cleaned up before doing anything.” I told her as I then led her upstairs to the bathroom where she can clean herself.
“Thank you, miss…” Eva says
“Rarity darling,” I told her and she closed the door and I could hear the sounds of running water.
It has been a while since she walked in.” Are you ok darling?” I asked.
“Yes, Miss Rarity everything is allriiiight! *thud*”
I ran in after the thud thinking she hurt herself and when I walked in I was stunned at how massive her breasts were they were hidden when she was covered in mud so I thought it was that but now seeing it I could see the DD breasts that she had and I looked at my C-cup breasts and I pouted in jealousy but I helped her up but then she slipped up and her massive breast where in my face now as she was on top of me and I moved a bit and I could hear her moan.
Suddenly the door swung open, revealing the dwarf from before. “What was that-” he blinked as he looked upon the situation, staring as a red tint appeared on his face not concealed by the large beard.
Slowly he reached into his pocket, then tossed out what appeared to be some form of enchanted strap-on. “Clean it when you’re done.” and with that, he closed the door as he left.
We continued to stare at the door as it closed then at each other as we blushed as well and she got her breast out of my face as she now sat on my hips revealing everything to me she got off me and wrapped herself in a towel and I got up as well and left the bathroom.
“Darling, would you mind returning that to your friend please?” I asked as I closed the door after she was clean we went back down stairs where she gave it back to him and we went to the dressing room to get her measured I got everything done except her breasts now and as I wrapped the measuring tape around her she jumped a bit.
“The measuring tape is a bit cold!”Eva said.
“Sorry darling,” I told her as I wrapped it around her and pulled it lightly to a get measurement and she moaned as the measuring tape rubbed her breasts.”36” I said to myself and I took the measuring tape off her and started working.
“If you wanted my bust size all you had to do was ask its 34,” Eva stated.
“Your two off darling,” I told her
“How is that possible I was a 34 one thousand years ago? ORGRAN GET IN HERE!”
When I heard that everything that I was holding fell out of my hands and I turned around to look at her.
“What? What is iiiiiii-you are still naked,” he says as he walks in, then covers his eyes.
“have you ever heard of getting displaced changing a girls bust size?”
“Well, displacement tends to make lots of drastic changes the moment you drop into Equestria, why?”
“Well, my bust has increased since I got my armor one thousand years ago.”
“How does being stuck inside stone for one thousand years make your tits bigger ?!”
I was just standing there listening to them talk about this like it was a normal thing for them.
“You know what? Nevermind, I’m going back into the other room until you’ve got a shirt on, I do not need a boner right after you rode me raw!” and with that, he walks off.
“Um excuse me would you mind telling me what you are talking about?” I asked with a fake smile.
“Well you see I lost my father figure one thousand years ago he raised me for over two years and I looked up to him. He taught me how to speak, read and write the common tongue and then he was killed by a monster.”
“OH, I’m so sorry,” I said as I got back to work.
{10 minutes later}
“Darling your dress is finished,” I said as I handed it to her and left the dressing room so she could change.
POV Change Eva
As soon as Miss Rarity left I looked at the dress she had made me and it looked like a chiton but shorter . I had no idea how to put it on. “Miss Rarity could you come back in here, please? I could use some help.”
“Sure darling.” Rarity said as she entered the dressing room and helped me put it on.
“Thank you again miss Rarity for the help it was much simpler than it looked,” I remarked
“Looks can be deceiving,” She said and then I heard the door swing open for the shop.
“Who Threw mister mallard?!” I heard someone yell and Rarity’s ears dropped for a second before she left the room.
POV Change Orgran
“Sup?” I waved to the pegasus before taking a bite of the Colossawing leg. “Omnomnom om nom.”
A duck flew in the room it was the same one I threw at the pegasus that ignited a cloud above us.
“Mister Mallard said you threw him at a pegasus right after you said you forgave her.” She said as the duck landed next to her and appeared to be giving him the stink eye.
“I hadn’t actually forgiven her, and in all fairness, I blame too much Angry Birds,” I say as I take a swig.
“Still you shouldn't throw innocent animals around like that.” She said as she crossed her arms.
“Hey! I put a shield on him! Anyways, you look about ready to pop a blood vessel, so…” I hand her a mug. “Drink this, it’ll relax you, then I don’t know I’ll give Mr. Mallard a bag of bird seed as a peace offering or something.” and quickly a figure behind slapped me upside the head nearly making me drop my mug.
“Bad Orgran, no getting innocent ponies drunk!” Eva said from behind me.
“Hey! You make it sound like beer is a punishment!” I took several swigs. “I’ll have you know that ale in any form can be a beautiful gift for anyone, a chance to relax and be a little free! You have no right to assume that-*BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRP* … pardon.”
“How uncouth of you.” Rarity said as she stepped in the room.
“Lady! I am a king , I can be as uncouth as I want as long as my subjects prosper!”
“Well I didn’t know you are a king,” she said with fluttered eyelashes.
“Yep, Orgran the Red! The last King of the Dwarves, you can thank the Netherborn slaughtering my entire race with a horrible curse for that!” I said and she gasped.
“I’m so sorry.” She said and Fluttershy looked sad too.
“What is a Netherborn?” Evangel asks.
“Horrible demons of entropy, once I thought all of the creatures from their world shared their dark ambitions but from my new friend I gained a bit more insight.” I say as I remove my right gauntlet, revealing a purple rune burned into the back of my hand, which then glowed as my newest familiar ‘Fluffy’ leaped out of it and onto the ground, letting out a howl after he emerged.
...Alright, no need to be a fucking show-off.
“Why do I get a feeling of emptiness from your friend here?” Eva asks pointing at ‘Fluffy’.
“Fluffy here is a Netherbeast, a creature born of the Nether and is thus composed of Nether Magic, Entropy-Based Magic… now before you’re alarmed, his nature is actually a lot nicer than perceived, watch closely now.” I say as I pull out a dead rabbit and place it in front of him.
Slowly, Fluffy approached and then bit into the rabbit, making tearing motions, yet strangely-to them at least-the wounds that were already on the rabbit were beginning to heal. By the time Fluffy had stopped ‘eating,’ the bunny suddenly got up, alive and well.
“Nether creatures can kill, but rather they literally feed on death and decay, so if they feed on something that’s dead, it returns to life. The Netherborn instead want to constantly harvest death, so they use a curse to ensure their kills can’t revive, an eternal feast.”
*shing* *click* the sounds of Eva drawing her sword and summoning her shield reverberate around the boutique.
I saw no immediate danger, but simply continued my explanation. “Fun fact really, Nether Creatures, unlike the Netherborn, are incapable of surviving on their own long enough outside the Nether, but that doesn’t stop them from enslaving the unique beasts that wanted nothing to do with their conquest, making them dependent on their masters using the familiar bonding techniques my homeland developed. In fact, if I hadn’t made a bond with Fluffy here, who didn’t want to attack me when they sent him, he would’ve died painfully.”
Eva lowers her sword and taps the hilt to turn it into a bracelet and then taps the center of her shield to turn that into a bracelet too.
“So yeah, I’d prefer it if you didn’t treat my friend as a monster.” I finish as I pet the Netherbeast.
“He’s so cute.” She said as she hugged the Netherbeast.
“Thanks, he likes you too!” I get a message through the bond. “Wait, really? You want me to… alright, he also says he enjoys the sight of your large and bouncy tits!”
Fluttershy blushed and covered her breasts with her arms in futility as they continued to bounce around.
“You know you’re not helping your situation, you’re just giving him a better show,” I stated flatly as Fluffy’s tongue hung out and he panted, showing how much of a horndog he really is.
“Ms. Rarity do you have a newspaper?” Eva asks.
Rarity kicked a nearby box and it open revealing a few dozen newspapers “My cat opal likes to play with them.”
She took a newspaper went over and smacked Fluffy on the nose while saying “no bad Fluffy, you scaled wolf thing.”
Instead of the expected whimper, he simply huffed and disappeared back into the rune.
“...So, who wants to go to Sweet Apple Acres?!” I offered. Eva raised her hand and thanked rarity for the dress, everyone else said no thanks.
“Then let’s go!” I say as I march onward.
Once we reached sweet apple acres we found a familiar orange pony.
“Well, howdy partners how you doing.” She said in a country accent.
“Greetings cereal joke!” I exclaim.
“What you call me you varmint!” She yelled her face red with anger and she clenched her fists.
“Funny, the you from my world finds that gag hilarious,” I said and the orange mare threw a punch… and I could see the distress on her face as her knuckles throbbed in pain.
“What are you.” She said as she pulled her fist back.
“Orgran The Red, you need not fear, I am a friend to you and your alternate self that exists in my Equestria… here.” I toss her an apple. “Have a taste of what another you grew.”
Applejack took the apple from eyes it cautiously then took a bite.”It tastes the same.” She said.
“Interesting, isn’t it?”
“It doesn't feel like your lying.” She said as she finished the apple.
“I’d feel bad if it did seem like I was a liar, Dwarves are people of honor after all!”
“Well, why did you come here, partner?” She asked.
“Why because we were hungry and-OH SHIT!”
POV Change Eva.
Orgran suddenly turned and ran back into town.
After he disappeared in the distance the sound of a triangle could be heard.”Soups on.” I heard through the orchard.
“Why don’t you come with me you can eat with us sugar cube.” She said as she used her thumb to point the way.

Ch 3 part 4 Twilight and the quest for the book
POV Orgran
I rushed off to prepare for her arrival.
I had the BEST idea!
POV Change Twilight, two minutes later
“Hey, Twilight? Why is there a landing pad saying ‘Nerds Land Here!’ in front of the town?” Spike asked me.
“I don’t know spike but we should stay away from that,” I said.
Suddenly the sign changed to add the words.
“Fine,” I said.
When we landed, we were greeted to a red-bearded Dwarf who yelled, “Ha! You’re a nerd!”
I just stared at him with a blank expression to show I didn’t find this funny.
“Relax, Twilight, I’m a friend of Celestia, I heard she’s doing the Celebration here and I thought I’d drop in to meet this ‘personal student’ I’ve been hearing about, name’s Orgran!
“Fair enough, have fun making new friends!” he called out before going his own way.
“...That guy was weird.” Spike commented.
“And he is just your size,” I said jokingly to spike.
Suddenly the Dwarf appeared in front of us. “You calling me short?”
“No I said your Spikes size there is nothing wrong with your height,” I said
“Riiiight…” he then disappeared into the ground slowly.
“Let’s get going Spike,” I said and we went into town.
POV Change Talion
“HEY TALION” Eva calls
“What do you need Eva?” I asked.
“Do you know anyone that can teach me to fly?”
“Yes, but before I do that I need to talk to you and Orgran,” I said.
“You called?” he said, appearing directly behind me with no sound or warning.
“Ok before I bring anyone from my Equestria I need to tell you both something they think I am the real Talion not long after I meet them I changed my memories to fit his and now the spell is gone I don’t want them to know the truth about me so you need to keep this quiet ok,” I told them
“Ok,” Eva said.
“Of course… so who are we meeting?”
“My proxy and she is also one of my wives,” I said
“Wives as in plural?”
“Yes,” I Told them.
“Have you met Tempest yet? I haven’t and I’ve been practicing something for when I meet mine and I want to see if I’ve got it perfect, I got it right just not sure if I got it perfect.”
“Who?”
“She was my first wife and what are you making her a horn or something?” I asked.
“More like a Crystal Lattice Horn-Gauntlet Combo for more ease in basic spellcasting and more precision in advanced spell Matrices, the only reason I can’t test it is because only a unicorn can use it and only after a horn amputation, I thought the best choice would be someone who lost their horn would be better than someone I asked to let me cut the horn off of.”
“Well, maybe this could be of use to you,” I said as I pulled a mithril horn out of my robes. “I made it to replace horns that have been broken off it attaches to the horn and melts on it and it can allow unicorns to cast spells as if they never lost it in the first place,” I explained.
“Hmm… yeah fuck it I’m over that idea, got a better one.” he pulls out a strange pearl the size of a walnut. “How about you give her this if you can safely remove mithril prosthesis.”
“Well the horn is made to grow with the unicorn and we never thought we would have to remove them,” I said.
“Well this thing should work even if you have to take a bit of skull with the removal, this is a replicative life-culture, it multiplies when exposed to water, and placing it on an amputated or broken part of something causes it to mutate and grow until it truly becomes a natural replacement, it’s based on the healing magic I use to restore horns that Caribou cut off.”
“Well, you can have the horn if you want I already have hundreds of these it might help you in some way later,” I said and I took the pearl and he took the horn.
“I knew that already.” He looked at the horn, then smiled as he rushed off to somewhere that looked very much like a Blacksmith’s shop.
“Ok, now I will summon her, stand back Eva,” I said and I began as a pentagram appeared on the ground and Hecale started to rise from it Hecale had horns, and black skin with eyes like mine she had large breast and ass she wore a red dress and had large ravens wings on her back.
“Where am I.” She said.
“It will be a long explanation it turns out there is a multiverse out with infinite Equestrias and I was one of the ones sent to them,” I told her and I explained all that happened while I was here.
“So you want me to teach Eva here to fly?” She asked
“Yes,” I told her. “And while you do that I will make preparations if it is true that this Nightmare moon is different I want to make preparations just in case,” I said and I walked off.
POV Change Hecale
“OK, where will we start,” I said to myself.
“Well, what would you recommend to a six-winged flyer?” Eva Said
“Well just flapping your wings up and down won’t work it is the rotation of the wings to provide lift,” I told her
“Huh?”
“Here just watch my wings carefully ok,” I said as I started flying then landed back on the ground.”Did you pay attention.”
“Yes ma'am, I did but how would that translate to six wings?”
“I don’t really know.” I said, “Maybe try moving them all at once or at different times.” I told her.
“Uh, how do I move them?”
I facepalmed and walked behind her and touch her back between her wings and they all sprung out and stiffened and she was blushing like crazy.
“Uh, what are you doing that feels weird?” Eva said.
“It is a wing-boner it happens when we get touched here or get very horny since you have had little practice it did not happen naturally but will in time but can you feel the tension in your back, try to relax those muscles then you can move your wings,” I told her.
“Ok, I’ll try to do that.” She said. You could see the physical and mental exertion she was using to try to relax those muscles.
“You're getting there just a little more, ” I told her.
“I'm trying but I just can’t seem to find it!” she said exasperatedly
“You can’t force it, you have to go with the flow or you will be met with resistance they are part of you, not the other way around,” I said.
She takes a shaky breath sits down closes her eyes and just relaxes her body and just like that her wings drooped down. She opened her eyes with a dopey grin and a giggle. “I did it, I did it.”
“Good but don’t celebrate yet we have a lot of work to do by the time we’re done your wings are going to feel like they are on fire,” I told her causing her to go *gulp*.
{3 hours later}
“So your wings feel like they are on fire yet?” I asked Eva.
“Most definitely well at least the middle two are,” She said and then the sound of flapping wings could be heard from behind us.
“That’s because you are putting too much strain on them than the others you need to regulate the strain between your wings and keep them from going faster than the others.” A certain rainbow-maned pony said.
“What do you mean by that?”
“You’re focusing most of your energy in you middle wings if you had distributed the energy among you other wings they would not hurt right now.” Rainbow Dash said.” And where is your dwarf friend I owe him some payback.” She added.
“Oh? Please enlighten me, I’m all ears…” The Dwarf said behind her sinisterly, a giant statue of himself just behind him mimicking his movements.
“I already reported you to the guards for attacking me with your metal boot.” She said.
“Well I don’t think a King of Dwarves would take being called a Gnome lightly, wouldn’t you agree?”
“Well, that title holds no value here.” She stated. “And if you fight back you will be the most wanted in Equestria.”
“Oh? Does that title not hold merit? How about Master Forgesmith? Last of his natural born kind? Celestia’s drinking buddy? How about the guy who was called a Gnome, which is about as bad as calling you a Bird Whorse Bitch Timberwolf-fucker! And yes! It is that bad of an insult to me!”
“But does it require you to attack me when I had no idea about that and I did nothing to provoke an attack!” She yelled
In response, he pulled her close to his face, with solid black eyes. “Those reasons are why I made sure I left no permanent damage, and your lack of provocation when you said it is why I didn’t decide to cut your head off. ” he let her go, letting his eyes return to normal.
“It doesn't matter the guards are coming anyway and it did leave damage.” She said as she lifted her shirt that revealed a large black mark near her rib cage. “The doctors said it could have ruptured an organ and it nearly broke my ribs.” She said
“RAAAGH!” he got seriously mad and punched her in the face, the magic in the hit somehow completely healing her. “FUCK YOU! I’M LEAVING!” he stomped off.
“Thanks a lot, you prismatic bitch, you just pissed off my boyfriend,” Eva said pissed and I rushed to Rainbow’s aid and I picked her up and placed her somewhere comfortable.
“DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HE’S DONE!” I yelled.
“YEAH, HEALED HER!” She yelled
“AND KNOCKING HER OUT, IF SHE DOES NOT WAKE UP WHO WILL CLAIM THE ELEMENT OF LOYALTY ” I yelled back catching her off guard.
Suddenly, Orgran came back, flicked her ear, causing her to wake up, then left again.
“Lesson is over I am taking Rainbow to a hospital to have her checked,” I said and began walking.
“Wait I’ll come with you!” Eva said
“Why you're on your boyfriend's side aren't you.” I said not even looking at her “And from what I heard she had every right to be angry.” I said.
“They both had a right to be angry but it is my duty as an acolyte of the Order of the Faceless Horned God’s The Winged One's chapter it is my duty to help the sick and helpless.” She said
“And what did you do during and after he first attacked her?” I asked
“I tried to calm him down”
“Is that all?” I asked
In shame, she shakes her head no.
“I have a feeling that is not true,” I said, “What did you do?” I asked.
“I lost myself to my base instincts and we fucked,” she said in shame.
I just continued to ignore her from then on and headed to the hospital with Rainbow once I was inside I told them to check her and I left the hospital.
“Hey Hecale what’s wrong,” Talion said surprising me and I told him everything that I heard and he just sighed heavily as I finished talking.
“Well, I guess we should just get ready for Nightmare Moon to come.” He suggested and I nodded.
POV change Talion
“Talion may I speak to you?” Eva asked.
“Sure,” I said I didn’t really want to but I thought I should hear her out. “Hecale wait here for me please?” I asked and she nodded.
“I figured you would want to hear my side of the story before you passed judgment on me?” she said.
“Yes, and as I walked through town I heard a few rumors as well,” I said.
“Oh, you heard did you?”
“Yup how you fucked in the middle of town covered in mud,” I stated.
“I don't know what has come over me these past couple of days, I haven't been able to control my baser instincts, it's almost like I'm in heat,” she said looking away from me.
I leaned up against a tree and crossed my arms.”Well, I don't know what to say to you.” I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head.
“And now Pinkie Pie put the idea that I am Pregnant into my mind and I can’t help but wonder if it’s true,” she said with a scared tone to her voice.
“Well, I can check if you want,” I said
“You would do that for me?” she said with an excited yet still scared tone.
“Yes but it would be too soon to tell the gender and I could speed up the process to where you will give birth in a few minutes,” I said
“I agree with the first part but can we wait until after Nightmare Moon to accelerate it if I am?”
“Ok,” I said with a nod.”So where is Orgran now?” I asked. “It would be best to ask him too,” I added.
She pointed towards the local forge and I walked inside. ”Orgran,” I said.
“Oh? Come to take everyone’s side against me too? Gonna say I was in the wrong because I felt my honor and pride was being spat on? Or maybe you’re gonna say you can kick my ass or something?! I hoped that when I left earth I wouldn’t have to deal with people making me out to be an asshole because I thought differently from them, and on my Equestria? I was right! But now in some other world, it’s happening yet again! No-one can see it from my perspective so they just set out to make me the bad guy! So you can just walk out of here and let me make you your weapon, then you can FUCK OFF!” with his rant over, he turned back to the forge and hammered away on something.
“I wasn’t even going to say any of that I was just going to tell you something,” I said and he turned back towards me.
“Well be quick, as you can see, I’m not in the best of moods thanks to Rainbow Dash and your wife.”
“Your girlfriend Eva asked me to see if she is pregnant and asked me to speed it up after Nightmare Moon is dealt with thought I would tell you so you two can talk about it,” I said.
“She shouldn’t need to, I agree with checking and speeding it up… though thanks to Rainbow, I’m not gonna be able to care for our child…” he moved his goggles, his eyes red from tears. “Haven’t you heard? I’m a wanted criminal here now! Equestrian enemy #1! Gonna fucking drag down a beautiful woman and an innocent baby just because of me!” he yells out with the fakest smile.
“Look I will see what I can do about that you would be surprised what a god can do,” I said as I snap my finger making sparks of dark magic fly through the air.
“Yeah, but your wife is still gonna see me as an asshole, you can do very little to change that, and it’s a shame too because honestly? I think we could’ve been good friends.”
“Maybe I will see what I can do and will bring my other proxy here as well for insurance,” I said.
“I… thanks, and hey, a little hint about your weapon, I’ve been giving it a soul link, so like your sword, not only will you be the only one able to use it, but it will get stronger with you.”
“Thanks, and do you want to see my other proxy? his name’s Thanatos,” I asked.
“Eh, fuck it, why not? Bring ‘im out Talons!”
“We will need to go outside he is 20 feet tall after all,” I said and we walked outside and I started bringing him here, a giant pentagram appeared and he slowly rose out of it he was 20 feet tall like I said with mummy wrapping all over his chest arms and legs her had four arms and many weapons attached to his back including two massive scythes and a pharaoh's crown over his fleshy skull
He was confused like Hecale but I explained what is happening.
“Interesting this should be fun.” He said as he held one of his scythes in his left hands.
“Hm… hey, Thanatos! So you’re one of those big honorable war guys, right?” Orgran asked.
“I was an elemental.” He answered. “Then I changed forms when I became a proxy.” He added.
“Ah, I was asking because…” he proceeded to summon a giant barrel, then slapped on a handle to its side. “I was gonna offer you a beer!”
“I can not taste food only souls.” He said as he knelt down to get a closer look.
“Hmm… AHA!” he ran off… through a mountain, then came out with a large sapphire. “Let’s see if this works…” he crushes the gem in his hand and punches the barrel, the ale launching out of it and into a rift. “Behold! The mug is now full of the Ale’s ghost !!”
“Where is it,” I asked confused to why he punched it into a rift.
“I sent the now dead and stale liquid into a volcano, now if you focus, you will see the original essence of the ale made into an ethereal form resting within the magically infused mug.”
I focused and looked into the barrel and saw an almost clear like substance and from it came a blue mist, I cast a spell that made souls visible and Thanatos picked it up and drank it slowly.
“I can taste it.” He said as he continued drinking.
“It’s a technique that the origina-I mean, that I developed based on the concept of dreams and imagination, using magically attuned gems, one could sense the true essence of an item, what makes the object in question what it is, and with enough force and will, separate that from its physical vessel, making that essence into a ‘ghost’.” he pulled out a scroll. “Here’s the technique so you can practice it yourself.”
Thanatos took the scroll and shoved it in his wrappings on his chest.
POV Change Orgran
“Well I think I did a good deed today, right Tali-oh hey, where did Talion go?” I asked, as when I had turned around, he was gone… “wait… DID I JUST GET FUCKING BATMAN’D ?!”
Thanatos pointed in a random direction, curious I decided to look to where he was pointing.
When I saw nothing, I used Nature’s sight to find the trail of dark magic our wraith friend had left, I decided to follow the trail to eventually find him, as he’d have to stop sometime.
I also took out a comically sized magnifying glass to inspect the trail as I followed it for comedy reasons.
For one I was getting several stares, to which I respond with, “I’m on an investigation! I must find who stole Celestia’s last slice of cake!” and move on.
The ponies just shrug it off as commonplace and go about their days.
Eventually, the trail ended at my target’s feet, smiling in success, I stand up and take a look at my surroundings.
“What are you doing?” Talion asked.
“Doing something random and goofy for the sake of a joke… I swear, I am the last person that should get Chaos magic, I’d just make nothing but references.” I said.
“Oook,” he said.
“So, why are we in a Guard station? Wait… Guard station?! Ninja defense plan omega!” I say as I proceed to light myself on fire.
Talion arm was then covered in a black mist, then pointing his arm at me, his mist converged on one point and turned into black water, putting out the flames.
“You fool! Now they can catch me!... and now I realize it’s not an effective counter to ninjas!!” I yelled.
“Why didn't you do a ninja vanish,” Talion suggested.
“BECAUSE I’M NOT A NINJA! And no matter what skills they have, I am not taking lessons from the three Caribou Ninja that became Zecora’s BDSM harem!” I declared.
“Just go away I am trying to find a way to clear your name,” he said
“But I’m boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-*siiiiiiiip*- ahem… ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooored!! And I don’t want to make your job harder by breaking something by accident.”
“Then why don’t you have fun with Eva you will probably be busy with the kid after thus so have as much fun as you can for now,” he suggested.
“Talion, I’m a Dwarf, not a fucking Satyr, I don’t entertain myself with sex, I entertain myself with games and sparring!”
“Then how about Thanatos,” he said.
I think back to it… then have the unsettling image of the Netherlord. “His size brings up… too many bad memories of… someone the Original Orgran faced.”
“Phantom,” he said.
“Actually, that’d be okay,” I said as phantom rose from his shadow.
“You should probably go somewhere else to fight though,” Talion said.
“Well, I’ve heard of an old coliseum on a hill outside Ponyville.” I say as said Coliseum appears thanks to my earth magic.”let’s go!”
POV Change Talion
With that, he and Phantom head off to this supposed Coliseum and I got back to what I was doing.’
POV change Eva
Suffice it to say when the doctors came in and told me they couldn't find anything wrong with RD's body at all not even old fractures, well Hecale was livid when I went to tell her the news.
After I told Hecale the news I started to wander around Ponyville taking in the sights and seeing if I could find Twilight.
Funnily enough, it seemed she had encountered Rainbow after she was let out of the hospital.
And behind them, I saw Orgran casually walking around in a much better mood than before.
I also saw Applejack and Pinkie Pie talking. I wonder when I should talk to her about Betsuni.
It seemed that conversation was going to come sooner, as when Pinkie turned to leave she saw me and hopped over. “Evie! Just the Seraphim I wanted to see! I need help, see there’s this new pony in townandIwanttothrowherabig’welcometoponyville’partysinceshelookssolonelyandIwanttohelphermakelotsandlotsoffriendsbutit’ssosuddenandIneedtogetitdonetonight! Can you find Gran and Tali for me so we can all set up the party at the library?”
“Sure pinkie. Hey, have you ever met Betsuni?”
“Oh, Betty? Sure! What do you want to know?”
“I need a book on my powers and the contract said you were the pony to see.”
“Ooooh, so you want a manual? Sure! Come into my office, I’ll see what quest would be fitting for such a reward.” she said as she opened a door that wasn’t there before and hopped through.
Deciding not to question it I followed her through the door into what could only be guild hall. I have no idea how I knew that but I did so I just rolled with it.
“Hmm… it seems all the other quests are locked, you’re gonna have to take the tutorial.”
“Ook?” I queried.
As soon as that word left my mouth I found myself in a field near a cave.
“Oki doki.” Pinkie’s voice echoed through the cave. “Your first tutorial is movement, first move forwards then backwards.” She said.
I comply and do what she said because this is a quest.
“Now side to side.” She told me.
I did exactly what she said.
“Ok now we will focus on magic attacks your spells are light and holy spell first will be the holy spear then the light javelin for the holy spear you must focus on thoughts of holiness and purity and form them into a spear then thrust forward.” She explained.
I tried to follow her instructions but I just couldn't get the spear to form.
“Okay, don’t worry, this may be a bit tricky since you don’t have a firm grasp on divinity… hmm, oh! I know, maybe try imagining the sun as a starting point!”
I did as she said and it seemed to work once I imagined the sun a ball of pure gasses forming into a spear and when I open my eyes I held a spear in my hands made of pure holy light.
“There you go, now focus on what you want to hit and then throw it! Don’t worry about aim, the magic in the spear will make it home in on your target!”
I focused on a nearby stalagmite and threw the spear it was off a bit but it corrected itself and meet its intended target destroying it.”What now?” I asked...
“Well next is the light javelin, it’s a smaller weaker version of the spear but you can make lots of them, just aim with your palm and imagine the javelins launching out, you can specify targets or let them aim at anything you see as an enemy.”
I thought of a smaller sun this time and it forming into a javelin and a javelin made of light appeared and I saw three stalagmites side by side and I threw it to the side and it changed direction and headed straight for them and cut them all in half.
“Great! The cave should be filled a bunch of monsters, clear it out and find the book at the end!” Pinkie said.
I ran through the cave at first I found nothing but when I walked into a large area a giant snake appeared from nowhere it had to be a hundred feet long. It lunged at me and I jumped to the side it reeled back it head for another strike and I made a javelin and threw it and as it opened its mouth to lung at ne the javelin burst through the back of its head and it fell to the ground and spasmed.
I continued through the cave killing several monsters and creatures along the way until I found myself in another large room with a pedestal in the center with a book on it I walked up and looked around for any traps and as I grabbed the book the cave started to shake and a stalagmite fell on the pedestal splitting it in two.
“Thank you for taking the book! This cave will now self destruct for no reason! Isn’t game logic exciting?”
I started to run as the cave collapsed behind me and many of the monsters that I did not encounter were crushed under the rocks, I made it back to where I started and a door opened on a wall leading to Pinkie’s office, I jumped as the cave collapsed and the door closed.
“Congratulations! You’ve done your first quest! With that victory comes your Special Status Book! I’ll make sure to prepare a bunch of quests for you tomorrow, since Betty said you’d be very busy tonight!” She said.

Ch3 part 5 the book revealed and return of an old friend
POV Eva
I step out of the door to the quest room and I end up right back where I started but in front of my two Displaced comrades.
“Hey, honey!” Orgran casually called to me.
“Hey Eva,” Talion said
“Hey Orgran, Talion what have you guys been up to for the last few hours?” I asked
“I have been trying to clear Orgran’s name,” Talion answered.
“Wait, hours? You’ve been gone for a few minutes at most!”
“That's not possible I was on a quest with Pinkie Pie for over three hours!!” I said surprised
“It is possible it was a pocket dimension I have one of those,” Talion said.
“So a time dilation field?” I queried.
“It different for every dimension but when it stays open to another it slows or quickens to match them and it seems it closed when you went inside so it returned to normal.” He told me.
“So what’s up?” Orgran asked.
“Alos I think it would be best if we held a strategy meeting and tell each other our powers and abilities so we can work together better,” Talion suggested.
“Ok, but who goes first?” I asked
“Well, first we should go somewhere more private,” Talion said.
“Well, it doesn't get more private than the Colosseum no one knows about,” I said.
“How’d you know I made a Coliseum??” Orgran asked.
“I saw it when I was flying around earlier,” I said with a shrug.
“Ah… okay, let’s go to the big arena,” he said as he marched off in the direction of it.
“So how did you make the arena?” I queried.
“Earth control, I literally hold the source of my magic in my very blood, a gem-like ore known as Arcanite which endlessly produces mana to the point where large enough quantities can severely mutate life in an area.”
“Isn't it where you said you would spar with Phantom?” Talion asked.
“Oh we did that already, we settled on a draw since it was just in good fun.”
“Well that’s good to know but we should hurry every second wasted is a chance for Nightmare to get stronger,” Talion said to Orgran.
“Oh don’t worry, we’re already here.”
“Wow, that was fast!!” I said.
“Yep, so, who should go first?”
“I think you should go first Orgran, ”I said.
“Alright… with the birth of our race, the God King Dranlun gifted the Dwarves with the strength of the stone they were carved from, not only were we made immortal, incredibly durable, and given unmatched strength, having the strength of the earth was very literal. With the Arcanite in my veins and my bond to the earth, I can control anything earth-based, stone, dirt, sand, metals and even magma while also being able to take on traits of the earth at will. In fact, if it weren’t for our flesh and blood bodies we would honestly be considered the highest form of earth elemental… oh, and we treat molten rock and metals like jacuzzis, just like Dragonkin.”
“My turn now.” I pulled out my new book and look at it and this is what I saw

END OF BOOK
“Ok, I guess it’s my turn now you already know I am the god of death and darkness but it comes with several benefits for one I can freely interact with souls and if my body was destroyed my soul will go somewhere safe and make a new body. I can also create undead that obeys me through using bodies is easier they can be created without them and I do not only of the powers of Talion I can use magic from Skyrim as well and I can use the bounds weapons and create all undead from the game but those that had shouts are difficult because for them to use shouts I must make dragon souls for them to learn them but it has become easier over time and with my recent power boost it should be easier. I can also consume souls to grow more powerful and sometimes gain the abilities of the soul such as one of the demon lords from my world I inherited his speed when I consumed his but.” Talion said.
“But what?” I asked.
“The first step I took after consuming his soul I left a human-shaped hole in a steel door and face first into a stone wall,” Talion told them
“HA!” Orgran laughed.
“Ouch!!” I said.
“And recently I have consumed another and it has increased my magic from what I know there is one more demon lord that can give me another ability.” Talion said, “Abaddon and his strength though we have not met I think we will soon, and I can create a mist that can create undead and can bring people back from the dead but it has limits.” Talion said
“Tell me more, please” I pleaded.
“I cannot alter the natural course so those who have died of natural death I can not revive and also those whose bodies are to badly damaged if there is even a body at all if it is rotten only a bit I can restore them.”
I was heartbroken I would not be able to see my Grand Master again.
“Hmm… The Black Heart gives me something similar, I can call and bring back those from the grave if they cannot move on, though I can make a window to talk to those who have moved on… then there’s the respawn totems, though that requires someone who knew them to carve their story onto the artifact if they’re already dead… I never realized how much a gift from an undead warlock would give me such mastery of soul communion and necromancy.”
“Talion is there any way for you to help?” I asked hoping against hope this would work.
“Umm yes I could open a portal to the afterlife but you would not be able to go through it, and I could find whoever you want to talk to but it will not last forever I have never done this before.” He said.
“Well, I’ve got some Arcanite on hand in case of emergencies, so I can make an uncarved totem right now, if Talion makes the portal when we activate it, it should pull him out and perform a respawn, though Eva, do you want it single-use or constant? That’s an important decision if I make it constant it won’t stop reviving him to his prime, even with age, but if I make it single-use, he’ll be just as mortally vulnerable as before once he’s alive again.… and I only have enough Arcanite for one totem.”
“Can the totem be broken?” I asked.
“Yes, though the destruction of the Totem will cause it to seed the earth with raw Arcanite, which can be dangerous as chunks can get too big and cause mutations,” Orgran answered.
“Now back to my power with my dark magic I can create shadow demons and weapons and I can create hell flames that could even burn the target's soul and I think I might also have the powers of the other ringwraiths my new ring is the combination of all the wraith rings and sarons and I might have many more as well when I first bought something from the merchant I just asked for everything he had related to dark magic or powers,” Talion explained and finished.
“I made a decision I want to revive my Grand Master Bronze Courage,” I said.
“Great!” Orgran pulled a large, golden gemstone out. “Lemme know the totem and I’ll get to work on my part!”
“I want to do a constant totem,” I said with confidence.
“Alright! Talion, you prepare the portal, I need to go set up a gemworks station and a refinery.” he turned and headed out.
{Two hours and a lot of carving later}
“Done!” Orgran called, hefting a large pillar of golden crystal covered with rings of sparkling metal.
“Good now I will make the portal,” Talion said as he drew his sword and stabbed it into the ground and cracks formed around where the sword stabbed into the ground and leaked red magic then the ground started to shake and a large archway started rising from the ground and energy formed in it make the inside look like a see-through veil.
Eva goes up to it and looked in seeing many souls she tried to touch them but Talion stopped her and said “Bad idea only undead can safely travel between life and death if you were to touch the veil between them your soul would be ripped from your body my soul, however, is not as attached as yours so I will bring him closer.” He warned and his body fell limp as his soul left his body it was he was see-through with a red outline and he entered the veil.
“Alright, I’m gonna go babysit, you get to work on carving, toots!” I heard a new voice as a tall man adorned in crimson waved to me as he passed, walking through the portal.
POV Change Talion
I walked through the veil and was now in the afterlife.
“Wow, nice place, digging the grim vibe here… course Hell had the better climate.” a voice jokingly commented from behind me. “So, you’re the Tomb-strider, wait no, that’s not it… Sarcophagus-skipper… Crypt-leaper?”
“Grave Walker,” I said as I turned around and saw a familiar figure.
“There it is! Can I call you Gray for short? Your expression makes it fit so well!”
“Only if I can call you Al, Alucard even though I did not expect to see you here, ” I said with a grin.
“Oh I’m starting to like you, out there you were a bit too dull if Orgran wasn’t the one in the driver’s seat I would’ve found a better way to clear up my boredom, but nooo, he wants to be nice and make you a gun! So, who’s the old dust bag we need to find?”
“Eva’s Grand Master, they share a connection they shared in life we will use it to find him, and he’s making me a gun?” I asked him.
“Yep! He got more of that Mithril stuff and he’s made you a god gun… say, this guy wouldn’t happen to have horns and a lingering wisp of nightmare moon’s magic stuck on him, would he?”
“Yes he would and I didn’t really find it surprising where I come from Mithril was usually used by the dwarves they say it was as light as a feather but hard as a dragon's scale,” I said.
“Oh, then you keep looking over there, and I’ll go talk to the lingering soul over here that’s clearly our target.”
“I already knew he was there while we were talking I was following the connection I can multitask,” I said and we walked over to the Grand Master.
“So, who bets the nightmare stuff clinging to him is gonna make him violent and attack us?”
“Most definitely so be ready to restrain him if needed,” I said as we approached.
I heard two guns cocking, and looked to the vampire wielding them. “I’m sorry, what did you say?”
“Nothing much just be ready for a fight,” I said and we were close to him now he was silent at first but then he twitched then vanished and punched Alucard in the face.
The vampire simply grinned in spite of the blow and backflipped using the momentum, leveling his handguns for a volley of holy bullets. “Alright Casper, say cheese!”
“Don't worry about killing him in this place he will only reform after a few minutes,” I told Alucard and I used my mist to create a black long sword.
“It’s not Big Beef Combo I’m talking to!” he started firing… at the dark silhouette that was floating behind him, but it dodges the bullets. I teleported behind the silhouette and swung at it cutting into his back.
Eventually, the dark silhouette could not handle the two-pronged assault and screamed out a death cry before fading into the Aether.
“What-what happened, where am I, and who are you two? an undead and a deity working together?” The Grand Master said.
“How did you know?” I asked him.
“Rescue now, questions later, sup pops! We’re here to bring you back to life and see your pseudo-daughter again!”Alucard said as he tried to grab the Grand Master.
“Impossible no one can resurrect the dead from here!” The Grand Master said sadly.
“You realize you live in a world where Discord is an established entity, correct? Don’t you think the concept of impossible is a bit… stupid, at this point?” Alucard said
The Grand Master gets a look of realization and understanding when it finally sinks in what was said. “I guess you're right.”
“Well we need to get out of here now there is no telling if evil souls will try to get through the portal when we are away,” I said.
“Yeah, come on, then we can set up adoption papers and make you officially Eva’s dad or whatever!”
If ghosts could cry the Grand Master would be crying and we continued to lead the Grand Master out of the afterlife and I was right there were a few souls trying to breach the portal but to no avail.
Alucard took on the biggest grin as he readied his guns. “Oh good, the nightmare fight was too short,” he said as he rushed in and started shooting up the specters.
“Well you can deal with them real quick I will get him through the portal,” I said as I put my hand on his shoulder and we pushed through the souls as Alucard dealt with them. We passed through and I felt something trying to pull the Grand Master back but it only got stronger when I attempted to take my hand off the Grand Master.
Alucard leaped out shortly after, the vampiric form fading away to reveal Orgran as he turned to Eva. “Hey, is the Totem done yet?”
“Not quite he had a really long life and I know most of it,” Eva said.
“Hey he will only be able to stay as long as I keep physical contact with him,” I told them
“Alright, but we should hurry, I don’t know how long Talion can keep your dad here… and before either of you say it, yes, you raised her, you cared for her, and you loved each other as family, you’re her dad.”
“Your right I think of him as my father,” Eva said.
“And her my daughter.” The Grand Master said.
Once the final letter was etched in, the totem shifted to show the head of Bronze Courage on the top of the pillar, a chain connected to a sort of spiritual life preserver launching out and linking to the soul of the Grand Master, having the pull towards the gate disappear.
Next, we watched as the minotaur’s spirit was absorbed into the Totem as magic swirled around, picking up streams of water, earth, and fire in a whirlwind that began to form the shape of his body. Finally, the new physical body of Bronze Courage, the form of a Minotaur at the peak of his youth, set hoof onto the ground as the spirit was siphoned into the new body from the Totem through a river of golden mana… and the eyes opened.
In disbelief, he looked down at himself. “I never thought I would say the words ‘I live again’ but here I am so I LIVE AGAIN!!”
“Alright! Welcome to the land of the living! I think we should make sure your new body is working right, starting with the heart.” Orgran stated.
“So how ya gonna do that?” Bronze Courage asked.
“Simple!” Orgran clears his throat, then takes a deep breath. “I’m banging your daughter! Who might be pregnant with my child since we did it three times these past few days! And she was the one who initiated the first two!”
Eva gives Orgran a swift kick in the jewels.
“GAH!” He doubles over slightly but seems rather unhurt. “Hey, if you have a better way to give a father a heart attack I’m all ears!”
Eva kicks him again right in the same spot but harder.
“ARGH!!” He stumbles… but recovers. “Easy! I’d like to give our kid some siblings at some point!”
“Well, I guess it is time for introductions I am Talion god of darkness and death,” I told him.
“That explains how you were able to bring me through the portal you’re a shinigami type deity.”
“Yes, I guess you could say that,” I said.
“I’m Orgran The Red, Last King of The Dwarves of Mylinia.”
“And?” BC asked.
“I’m the first other Displaced that Eva has met due to her summoning me through my token, I originated from an alternate Equestria.”
“So that is how you met Evangel!” BC said. “Now is what you said true?”
“Yes, for the sake of me sacred pearls, I won’t give you the play-by-play, but yes, we did bang and now I’m in a happy relationship with her.”
“What is that on your finger?” He asks, Pointing to a ring on his left ring finger.
“Oh! That’s my wedding ring, don’t worry, Eva knows about them already and my two wives are very much into bringing other girls into the relationship… as long as there’s a proper emotional connection, that is.”
“Uh-huh ok.”Bronze Courage said, “So talion how many wives do you have?”
“Well let me think there is Hecale, Aiko, Cadence, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Celestia, Luna, Chrysalis, and Tempest so 11 I think,” I said.
“Holy fuck, you’re lucky you’re undead or your heart would probably explode from all that bedtime affection… how the hell did Shining fuck things up with Cadence anyway? Normally in Equestrias, he’s rational and good-hearted.”
“Well shining sent tempest after me she used to be an assassin and also hid her gender with a magic cloak and he also killed his competition for the captain of the royal guard and many ambassadors of Equestria and other kingdoms” I explained.
“Fucking hell such dishonesty and backstabbing.” Bronze Courage said surprised
“I’m with Grand Master on this one, your Shining Armor has such dishonorable practices that makes my Dwarven blood boil, the only good thing that seems to come out of his scheming is that with Tempest on your side, The Storm King of your world is short one very capable commander.”
“We have not seen him yet so he might not even exist in my Equestria and the punishment I gave him was more than shining deserved,” I said.
“Actually, and this is my inner scientist talking, but Equestria always seems to have constants, such as the races from the show existing in one form or another, but an important thing is if the Storm King is not a major player in your Equestria, then in your high status, you should’ve gotten word of Hippogryphs being an active society outside of Equine borders, but I’m guessing they’re not?”
“They are,” I said sadly as I went back in my body sat down and looked at the ground.
“Let's move on to happier topics shall we?” Eva asked. “Let’s find out if I’m pregnant!!” she said excitedly but still nervously.
“Is it ok if I put my hand on your stomach to cast the spell?” I asked Eva”It allows for a better reading.” I told her
“Sure go for it,” Eva said moving the front of her dress to the side.
I put my hand on her stomach and cast the spell her whole body glowed for a moment before stopping and I took my hand off. “You’re pregnant with twins,” I told her.
Suffice it to say Eva passed out.
“WOO!” Orgran was on the opposite end of the spectrum. “I’m gonna be a dad! I’m gonna need storybooks, baby formula, training weapons for small hands, OOH! Maybe I can make a raid to Mylinia and get them each a ‘Dwarfling’s first Pickaxe’! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” he was running around us as fast as I could with unrestrained demon power, but I was not paying much attention, Orgran asking me about the hippogriffs was bringing back memories of how I was unable to defend them from the demons and now the survivors now take refuge in Minas Morgul.
In a spaced-out voice, Bronze Courage said: “I'm gonna be a grandpa to twins at 1124 OH BOY!!!”
“And they’ll have Dwarven blood in them! I remember the little Dwarflings running around Stonecross, the moment they started walking they were excited to train with their parents or grandparents… and if they weren’t training, they were showing off and getting some poor sod in the nuts with a roundhouse!”
At that, all the males winced.
“Ahem… anyway, the point I’m making is, I’m absolutely certain in a few years or so you’ll be having them wanting to learn ‘Grampa’s awesome fighting style’ from the Grand Master!”
“So what do we do next?” I asked
POV Change Eva
“Well, first thing we need to do is come up with a gameplan on how we are going to take her down,” I said as I recovered.
“Well, I have insurances in place if we fail hopefully it won't come to that,” Talion said.
“And I got my hellknight… oh crap, I never got to show that off! It’s so fucking cool !! Oop!” he glanced to my stomach. “Sorry! Should keep the swearing down around the kids.”
“And I can give you two enough bits to get a house or something, displaced help other displaced,” Talion said.
“Thanks, but don’t be surprised when we nickname you ‘Uncle Talion’ though.”
“I thought I would be the godfather or something,” Talion said jokingly.
“...did you just make a pun?!”
“Yes, I did.” He said
Sheepishly I said, “About that.”
“Hm?” Orgran turned to me. I nodded towards Talion.
“You mean I will be the godfather?” He asked.
“Well you are a displaced like both of us and you are the second male I met that isn't part of the order and is still alive so yea would you do us the honor of being their godfather?” I asked and Talion smiled.
“Yes.” He said
“EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!” I squeed.
“Alright, but be on your best behavior around Eva, I don’t want the kids to develop your dark and gloomy side, they’re still impressionable souls after all.”
“Yes I can tell and the only reason I was like that is because I am stressed because Circe’s is getting closer to being free every day,” Talion told us.
“You know that Circe is starting to sound like a real B-word, and right now I want to kick that B-word in the C-word until she can only utter F-words!”
“Trust me you couldn’t even I am strong enough to take her on yet and you have not even seen my full power yet so what chance do you think you have?” Talion asked.
“Just because I know I can’t doesn’t mean I still don’t want to! What I could do is get you in contact with the five God Kings to see if they could help, Circe is a god, no matter how much power she tries to gain, she can’t handle being outnumbered by other gods which have far more power and experience, especially in combining their own powers together.”
“She has been around since the beginning of time and she can make proxies just like me with divine powers and magic.” He told Orgran.
“The God Kings in my world were the first things to exist, and it only took a fraction of their power to make everything else, they’ve been gathering power for apocalyptic scenarios by simply resting within their castle, it’s like… five Odin's that can combine Megazord style.”
“What are their powers?” He asked Orgran.
“They bear the power of dreams along with their elements, literally every myth or legend that has been made about them is true because those myths and legends exist, such as Rintae’s fire being so strong, it can turn a sun to ash.”
“And I can try to commune with the Faceless Horned God of my order and ask for his assistance.” the Grand Master offered
“Well that is all well and good we have problems right now we can deal with,” Talion suggested.
“Right and… how long has the moon been up?” Orgran asked.
“About twenty minutes,” I said.
“Aaaaand the face is gone, F*** WE’RE LATE!”
Talion snapped his fingers and we were at town hall where Nightmare moon would show up.
And upon the balcony, we saw Nightmare Moon, much larger and more imposing than before… flanked by a countless number of constructs bound to her essence.
“...well f*** me that wasn’t in the show,” Orgran said
“Interesting,” Talion said as he rubbed his chin
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“You were right Nightmare does not have a soul but she is pure dark energy and she is suppressing Luna’s soul and the constructs seem to be attached to the dark energy and I see chains binding them perhaps they were previous beings the darkness fed off of.” He explained
“But if that's the case then the Nightmare corrupted angels!!”
“They are not angels anymore their souls are gone and they are only empty husks tied to Nightmares will,” Talion said
“Hot damn, that’s a scary thought…”
Suddenly, I felt two sets of power flow into me, giving me a strength boost.
“Wait, they can do that already?!” Orgran said, poleaxed.
“They can do what?” Talion asked.
“You know how mothers tend to give their power to their children to protect them? Well, Mylinian kids can do the same, using their soul energy to empower their mother, it’s not dangerous to the children but usually, they need to be more developed unless… OUR TWINS ARE GONNA BE DEMIGODS!!”
“Well if they are bringing their A-game I guess I should too, I can’t unleash my full power through it could harm the babies souls and could damage everything around me ” Talion said as he relaxed and a red aura started to surround him and it as almost as thick as blood and then an overwhelming power came after.
Suddenly my book began to glow with a gentle light
BEGINNING OF BOOK PASSAGE
Holy Light: Unlocked
END OF BOOK PASSAGE
“Sweet I unlocked Holy Light because of the twins!! But how do I use it?” I said.
“Figure that out on the job! Now let’s fight these fallen angels!” Orgran declared as he summoned his ‘Hellknight’ mech from a fire portal. A massive steampunk giant that drooled magma and wielded a chainsaw/sword hybrid of flame and a shield that burned as hot as the sun, with a ‘roar’ of steam, Orgran jumped into the mecha and charged into the fray.
Going by instinct she raises her left hand and yells “HOLY LIGHT” and a beam of light shoots down from the sky and envelops eight of the enemy combatants cleansing them and freeing them from Nightmare Moon’s control. To my surprise, I saw the freed angels give me a salute before charging in to restrain the still possessed soldiers.
I recast my ‘HOLY LIGHT’ spell freeing another eight angels and a manticore but the manticore collapses lifeless once freed. With enough of the angels freed, they were able to work on freeing the other possessed with their own light magic, causing Nightmare to start falling back as her numbers were turned against her. Once over half her numbers were against her they retreated into the shadows and fled. Once she was gone all of the angels turned to me and one that was wearing slightly better armor who I assume is the commander stepped forward. “What are your orders, Ma’am?”
“I thought their souls were gone, even though they are almost shattered to pieces,” Talion said as he rubbed his chin again.
After composing myself and looking to Orgran “My orders are as follows Protect Ponyville from Nightmare Moon's forces purify if able kill if not.”
“And in the meantime, we’ll be kicking some Nightmare Arse for you and seeing if we can’t get some more of your Brothers and Sisters!” Orgran declared.
“Thank you King Orgran The Red, that is most kind!!” the commander responded
“Well before we leave I will repair you, souls, you are unfit for battle with your souls practically falling apart right now,” Talion said.
“Thank you Lord Talion of Minas Morgul.” the commander said
“And how do you know us?” Talion asked the commander as he started fixing their souls.
“I saw all you did and all that was said while under her control,” the commander admitted with a slight blush.
“Well, we should hurry the girls will probably be going into the forest by now,” Talion said.
“Mistress Evangel would you and your companions care for an aerial escort?” the commander asked
I turned to Orgran and Talion and asked “What do you think Orgran? Talion?”
“I think we’d do better if we didn’t have to worry about accidentally hitting one of you with ridiculously flashy attacks.”
“Talion?”
“It’s fine.” He said and Hecale and Thanatos landed at his side.
“Sorry dear its two to one,” I turned to the commander and said, “yes we would love one pick your strongest and fastest flyers we need one to carry Orgran to the edge of the forest.”
“How the f*** are they going to carry this thing?” he gestures to the mech he’s in.
“Get out and summon it to you once we get to the forest,” I said exasperatedly.
“I have a better idea!” He says seconds before a chasm opens up from below him, swallowing him up.
I just roll with it and take off along with the commander’s chosen angels and Talion towards the Everfree forest and where I hope Orgran is.
Thankfully we find him shortly after arriving, though it seems that Nightmare has switched to golems for attack, which would be much harder to dispel or destroy.
“Do you think they are already there?” Talion asked.
“Yes Lord Talion I can see them from here they are standing in a copse of trees laughing at them.” one of the angels said.
“That’s the test of laughter,” Orgran replied. “It’s an important trial they must handle alone.”
“How many trials are left?”
“I believe that was the first one,” Talion said.
“No, it’s the third, Generosity and Loyalty are next, with the final confrontation with Nightmare Moon revealing the final element.”
“We need to hurry, soldiers pick up the golems and drop them from high up,” I ordered
“APOPHA-PIX-TET” I intone and a small bipedal wolf with arms made of wood (A.N. that but smaller)
“What do the golems look like soldier,” Talion asked.
“Tall, black, and with an oval gem for a face ”
“Ok then,” Talion said back
“Apopha-Pix attack with your root arms,” I said.
“And keep them away from the heroes, they’re not prepared for actual combat,” Orgran said before caving one of their faces in with a punch. “Even one of them could prove fatal.”
In a voice that sounded wiser than an old oak grove it replied “Yes Master Orgran.”
Talion just sat back and watched the angels fight and the elements travel through the forest.
“You could help anytime Talion!!!!” I yelled.
“I am you’ll see.” He said then a volley of arrows flew from the forest and at the golems cracking their control gems. “When I went to prepare I created an undead army that surrounded the castle I told a few of them to come here and help.” then from the many undead where black armor charged from the treeline the spearmen were use their spear to keep the golems off balance and the swordsmen went for the kill stabbing the oval gems then massive boulders came flying from the forest crashing into them. “I also created stone golems as well, they can control the stone and plants around them.” He said and from the tree line, massive creatures made of stone appeared.
“...are they sentient?”
“Which ones the undead or Golems?” Talion asked Orgran
“The golems, in Mylinia, Golems are a true race in Mylinia with their own culture and everything… sorry, I’m just wanting to feel like in some way they didn’t all…”
“Well, I don’t really know if they are sentient all I have asked them to when since I created my first golems was help me make my city and make various metals and gems I have not given it any real thought if they are or not but they have always done what I asked,” Talion said.
“Right… maybe you… no, nevermind.”
“Speak your mind you might not get another chance to any time soon,” Talion said.
“Would I be able to take some home with me? So that even if they’re not sentient, I can find a way to bring their kind back?”
“Yes you can and I can give you the plans to make them and several other kinds of golems like gem golems, iron golems, and more.” He told Orgran
“Lord Orgran, Lord Talion I see them near the old castle they are waiting for the prismatic pegasus pony to return.” said the lead soldier.
“The final trial before the castle, Rainbow will return to them, just ensure they’re not physically attacked,” Orgran said.
“A fog has rolled in should we do something?” the lead soldier asked.
“Continue to observe, the fog is merely an illusion of nightmare to ensure the others don’t try and interfere.”
“SIR YES SIR!”

Ch 3 part 6 the return, the legion, and the birth
POV Eva
After we finished off the golem's the angels rejoined us and the undead returned to their posts near the castle.
“How long do you think it will take for the fog to disappear Orgran?” Talion asked.
“It will dissipate once Rainbow returns to the others, as Nightmare will need to gather her power for the final confrontation.”
“What if she doesn't return to them?” I asked.
“Then this world would be doomed, this is a test of loyalty for Rainbow Dash, Nightmare is currently using illusions of ace flyers known as ‘shadowbolts’ to convince her to abandon her friends, but she’ll refuse them and fix the bridge, earning her place as the Element of Loyalty.”
“So really bad?” I queried.
“Yes if she does not it would be very bad,” Talion confirmed.
Thankfully I had nothing to worry about because ten minutes Rainbow Dash fixed the bridge and flew back to her friends.
“They should reach the castle in a few minutes,” Talion said as we watched them walked over the bridge.
“Come let us catch up with then we may assist them if need be,” I said.
“This is the one time it’s an honor to be a meat shield for the main hero!” Orgran said
We continued to follow them till we reached the castle once they were inside we landed.”Well, I guess it is time.” Talion said as he drew his sword and Thanatos grabbed his scythes and Hecales claws extended.
As we rushed in, we saw the Mane Six ready to unleash the power of the Elements, yet Nightmare Moon was also ready with her own attack.
“You may have figured out the elements but you shall never get the chance to use them,” Nightmare Moon said firing her beam attack but I threw up a Holy Shield in front of them which barely was scratched by the blast.
Talion launched a ball of conceded red magic at Nightmare blowing her away and into another room.” we need to get them out of the way for now so they can have a clear shot when the time comes.” Talion said.
“Agreed but we are on her turf now where can we hide them?” I asked
“We can’t hide or even move them, the elements are active right now, all we can do is ensure that Nightmare doesn’t kill one of them as they ready the blast,” Orgran answered before punching away one of Nightmare’s spectral swords.
“You seem to forget darkness is my domain,” Talion said and the room began to darken and the girls along with the elements vanished then the room brightened. “I hid them away they are safe for now.”
“How… can you be so STUPID?! The Elements require line of sight! Why do you think they’re used directly in front of the target?!”
“They are still there they are invisible I just told them to keep quiet till we can restrain her,” Talion said.
“Oh, smart move I guess if it wasn’t for the elements working by themselves without any input from the Ponies in the first place other than their bond.”
I tap my bracelets and my sword and shield come out. “Come at me Bitch,” I said
“Oh don't worry, I'm not going to kill you I am going to enslave you just like I did with those angels!” Nightmare shouted as she flew towards me.
As our weapons clashed my sword catches fire and I send a jet of flame at her catching her mane and tail when she dodged, burning half of them off.
“You think you can stop me? a puny angel that doesn't even deserve her wings or power, angels are the symbol of purity and strength and you have shown none of-”
*WHAM!*
The room was silent as we both turned to see Orgran behind Nightmare, holding a dented frying pan, and sporting a sheepish grin. “Bitch you talkin’ smack about an angel’s purity when you go name yourself after the moon and yo ass ain’t even fat!” he says, though oddly his tone reminded me of a sassy dark furred minotaur woman I met in the past for some reason.
“My ass is bigger than that flat ass.” Nightmare Moon retorted, pointing at Eva.
“Oh no, you di’int! That’s it! Rainbow, you’ll remember this! Crunched Taco 2: The Sequel!” he cries out before swinging his foot out.
And unfortunately for those in the room, we actually heard a very loud *CRUNCH* as the strike connected and everyone in the room visibly winces.
Nightmare Moon fell to her knees as she tried to stay conscious through the unbearable pain but she looked up at us and her eyes were pitch black and she said.”You might have beaten me but you will never save Equestria.” She said and a force of magic started pushing us away as she collapsed and thousands of screams and sadistic laughter could be heard as a darkness started to seep out of her rapidly leaking out of the castle and into the forest and once it was over Nightmare laid on the ground almost lifeless and the main six reappeared. The elements purify Nightmare Moon turning her back into Luna.
POV change Talion
‘I guess I was not much of help’ I thought then I felt a massive surge of power outside the castle and I flew up to a nearby window and I looked at the forest and saw the darkness that seeped from Nightmare spreading through the forest and forming figures the darkness full materialized into thousands of corrupted husks that Nightmare has possessed over it long life they were cockatrice, manticores, ponies griffins almost every single living creature except dragons and hydra’s I reached deep down and brought my full power out and I was enveloped in a red aura as thick as blood and black mist started swirling around my arms then started to swirl all around me then it left me my and was now growing above my head and I flew through the window leaving everyone confused and the ball of black mist continued to grow above me and I threw it in the part of the forest separating Ponville from the massive army of corrupted husks and the mist spread the forest making every single undead that didn’t use Skyrim magic.
I created spearmen, archers swordsmen, death knights , undead manticores, Centaurerker , undead knights, executioners , and zombies that had rotting flesh from several races like ponies caribou, and miniatures after that I summoned 15-foot keepers to protect the elements and I saw hundreds of figures starting to fly in the air ponies, griffins, and angel filled the air and among them was one seraphine like Eva he had a gold chest plate and a hood over his head and he had 6 whits wings and he had two swords strapped to his sides.
“Fly my shadow demons but leave the Seraphine to me,” I said and my shadow demons started flying out of my shadow letting out an ear-piercing screech.”Anna.” I said and a snake tattoo started moving towards my hand and started materializing out of body turning in black snake with a red belly .
“It’s been a while I excepted bacon when this is over.” She said then looked at our opponents.
“Try to only disable them only kill if you have to they can still be saved,” I told her and she sprung from my hand and suddenly grew in size turning into a massive hundred-foot snake and now that I was away from Eva I could release my full power and I brought all of my power to the surface and my aura started going wild as I unleash my full power.
Suddenly I see a huge Holy Light go off around the seraphim causing all of the flyers but the Seraphim to be cleansed and freed. All but the angels fall to the ground lifeless and with the ones in the air taken care of the shadow, demons turned their attention to the ones on the ground. Eva comes barreling out of the castle brimming with rage.
“Eva you should stay away from me with me at my full power it could harm the twins,” I told her and she flew straight at the angels who flew to her and saluted, she said something I couldn't hear and the angels saluted and flew down into the battle to start purifying the enemy and healing my army the undead now were trying to restrain as many as they could so the angels could purify them and I started flying towards the Seraphim and the shadow demons blocked Eva's path to the Seraphim and at first she looked furious but then saw me and my aura going wild then held her stomach and flew away.
“.....” The seraphim said nothing but drew his swords and prepared to fight.
He suddenly lung at me with one sword I blocked it but then lifted his other sword over his head and tried to cut my head off but I summoned my bound sword and threw it off its path then I head-butted him causing him to flinch and pushed him away.
“HOLY LIGHT” he shouted and I cast a shield to protect myself and after the light washed over the shield and ended he then held what looked like a spear made of fire and he launched at me.
I managed to dodge in time but the spear tore through my shield and I made a spear made from hell flames and he made another flaming spear and we threw them at the same time and they meet in the middle and they collide they turn into a ball of flames that continued to grow bigger then exploded and from the smoke the Seraphim flew towards me at supersonic speed by unsealing some of my speed that I have kept suppressed matched his speed.
“APOPHA-TIST-ENT come to me Sapling Ent heed my call,” He said and on the ground, a tree started growing but then formed arms and the bottom half of his trunk turned into legs and his vines grabbed me and flung me towards the ground.
After landing on the ground the husks attacked me from all sides and I used a shockwave spell to send them flying but the vines from the ent were still attached to me so I used my hell flame on them and it traveled back to the ent setting it on fire until it burned to a crisp.
The seraphim attacked me from behind as he slashed at my back but it healed soon after but it stung and burned even after it healed I roundhouse kicked him in the head sending him flying through some trees and boulders, three of his wings were broken, two on the left and one on the right but he still kept going. I grabbed my sword, unsealed more of my speed and from the perspective of someone else it was almost like I teleported in front of the Seraphim and punched him in the chest sending him flying again and his chest plate flew off and he collided with a fallen tree and its wood stabbed into him and exited out of his chest and finally he died and then I lowered my power then relaxed and I sheathed my sword.
“Well, that was epic,” said Orgran as he walked over to me.
“Eva’s holy light had no effect on him it could not be helped,” I said.
“Is it safe for me now?” Eva asked
“Yes, my power won't harm them now,” I told her.
Seemingly relieved Eva walked out with a slightly noticeable belly. “Uh, are they supposed to grow this fast?” She asked
“Is it possible they absorbed magic from the battle and if so we should get you to a hospital so I can cast the spell?” I asked
“I’m scared for my babies now!!!!” she said nervously and I placed a hand on her stomach and cast a sonar spell, they had absorbed some magic but nothing harmful and they were still perfectly healthy.
“They are perfectly healthy and they have absorbed some magic but nothing harmful,” I told her.
“To be honest them being demigods is more of a guarantee now, the tales of those in the past had stated that the great heroes of old could turn the power of their enemies against them… plus, I think you’ll be glad to hear this Eva, said heroes always fought for those they loved, and in turn, the love they were given worked to make them invincible!” Orgran said.
“But they might have absorbed magic from the corrupted and from me as well Eva was getting pretty close before my shadow demons stopped her,” I said.
“Well for Mylinians, magic is magic, it’s how it’s used that has it be considered dark or light, partially because the Arcanite in our systems tends to eat purposed magic when we absorb it to turn it into raw mana.”
“Then they are going to be really strong because one drop of my magic at full power is equal to a massive amount of normal magic but I don't know the exact amount though,” I explained.
“But should they be this big already?” Eva asked.
“Let’s just get you to the hospital so I can cast the spell then we check on them properly,” I told her.
“OK, SOLDIERS TEN HUT!!” Eva called and all of the angels landed and formed ranks. “COMMANDERS FRONT AND CENTEEEEEER!! I need your strongest soldiers to carry Orgran back and the rest of you are to split up half of you will bury and clear out the rest of the enemy and the other half will fly to Canterlot and find Princess Celestia. NOW GO!!!”
As the angels carried Orgran off, all we heard was the loud monotone, “Weeeeeeee.” The Dwarf was uttering as he flew off.
My shadow demons returned to my shadow and one of them dragged the corpse of the Seraphim into my shadow.
“What about his armor and swords are they salvageable?”
“I did not really damage the chest piece and his swords should be around here… oh there they are.” I said as I saw them and picked them up and I also picked up the chest piece. “Do you want them?” I asked her.
Eva eagerly nodded and went to retrieve the cuirass along with the two swords that turned out to be short swords due to her larger stature.
“And what shall we do with my undead and golems?” I asked.
“Can you transfer command of them?” Eva asked
“Yes but the keepers I created will only listen to me anything Skyrim related only I can command,” I told her.
“Well, I will take command of anything you can give me and whatever you can't can you dispel them?” Eva said
“Never tried I always stockpiled undead so I could have enough to fight demons but I can try,” I said and I focused on the keepers and they disappeared and I gave orders to my undead and golems to now accept orders from Eva.
“The keepers are gone and now you can command the undead and the golems,” I told her.
“Thank you now I have the ability to fight undead, and creatures of darkness instead of purifying them.” Eva said with a big hug that pressed her breasts against me.
“Your welcome I guess.” I said blushing.
“Well, we should get back” Eva said with a blush after noticing what she just did then took off towards Ponyville Hospital.
When we got inside we found Orgran sitting in the waiting area, completely silent with a bug-eyed expression.
“Whats with that look?” I asked.
“Talion… you know how I said I’d contact the Five God Kings for you…?”
“Yes,” I answered.
“Don’t need to anymore…” he said, pointing to the door next to him.
We walked in to see five people standing in the room with us. They were all adorned in different attire save for the five matching crowns on their heads, the Dwarf of the group walked up to us cheerfully and gave a wave. “Oh hey there, multiversal adventurers, so nice to meet you, personally I’m glad to meet the Seraphim who’s gonna be helping revive my race!”
The elf merely rolled his eyes. “Of course you’d be excited about your race’s return being the first one.”
“Oh piss off, Elnir, your elves were a bunch of pretentious asshats anyway! So, pleased to meet ya, we’re the Five God-Kings of Mylinia, I’m Dranlun, over there is Elnir, the undead Olthok, the Dragonkin Rintae… and Eric… what is it with humans and having such boring names?”
“Fuck you!”
“That’s the spirit!”
“I am Talion god of darkness and death in my Equestria,” I said.
“You the god of shitty titles too? At least we put effort into our god titles, ‘darkness and death’? Why not something like ‘God of the Shaded Crypts’ or something like that? Just because your job is straightforward doesn’t mean you can’t be a bit creative with how you introduce yourself! Plus it makes for killer intimidation.”
“Well when you are fighting a goddess of destruction that is trying to destroy the world with her demons and when you are a father and husband to 11 wonderful women you and I basically rule three races you don't really have time to come up with good names,” I said.
“Actually making up a flashy title is one of the best things to do when facing other gods,” Elnir spoke up. “Gods reside on a similar power scale, so it’s rather difficult to gauge how powerful they are, having a creative and excessive title can add onto the confusion as well, from what I can tell, with her straightforward title it was easy to understand her ability types and intent, focused on destroying and making creatures to destroy. However, take my title ‘The Will of Life’, it’s rather easy to assume that means I can control any living thing, however my abilities actually only reach to wildlife and plants, however I can control those aspects whether living or dead, so it throws my enemy off when they try to hide within a ruined forest or a castle which holds any form of wood.”
“Well first she did not intentionally create the demons and I don’t have time to make fancy titles I need every second to increase my power and my army if she escapes Tartarus,” I said.
“No, but she does intend to destroy your world… though I guess a good start to increase your power is to build a church in your name, as a god, worship is a very effective supply of power, and is normally the factor that tilts any divine conflict in one’s favor. A god must never rely on his aspect alone to gain strength as that can easily be taken away as the world changes, but faith and worship is much more resilient and can ensure a win. On another note, making a successful religion can garner a large mass of followers who believe in your word and cause, such willing to fight for you, while in your case you wouldn’t want them as frontline soldiers, raising a convent of acolytes to assist in raising a much larger army of undead than you could do alone would be very advantageous.” Olthok explained.
“First necromancy and darker magic corrupt anyone that uses them in my world except me so acolytes are out of the question and there are…” Before I could finish a nurse entered the room and her eyes wandered around the room but then they stopped on a window and she screamed and ran out.
“Uh what was up with her?” Eva asked then she looks out the same window the nurse looked out of then she fell to the ground in shock. “G-G-G-G-GIANT SNAKE!!!”
“Oh yeah almost forgot about her,” I said.
“Riiiight…” Eric said. “And Olthok never said they’d be necromancers, they’d be more like extensions of you, bound to you so they gain a fraction of your power yet also your immunity through their faithful devotion.”
“Before we continue let me introduce my friend here,” I said as I opened the window and Anna shrunk down just enough to where she could slither through the window she was still giant but she could now fit in the room. ”This is Anna before I was interrupted I was going to explain that I have people who worship me but I have not checked up on them yet but I meet them in my pocket dimension when I first found out how to make them I went to mine the first time I just left and I brought everyone with me including discord and he was unable to use his magic in my world and after we walked into a town we found it was filled with nothing but bones and death even the sun was no longer in the sky but when we were about to leave I heard screams that is when I found them.” I said and I waited to see if they had any questions before I continue but no one said anything.
“They were only a few but they were being chased by demons and undead alike, I summoned an army that was going to hold them off so they could run for the portal but somehow I felt stronger and my undead matched them even the enemy's undead joined me in the fight and after a giant serpent made of pure magic emerged from the ground and I absorbed it that snake was Anna but first I was so full of magic that it nearly destroyed me and I unleashed everything I had at once and my undead took me out of the pocket dimension after that the survivors told me there were more and we went back in the next day and brought them out after that I meet Faust and became a god,” I said finishing my story.
“You gained so much power because of all the death and dark magic there, even when you weren’t a god, your affinity for it empowered you in that world.” Elnir stated.
“Yes and no,” Anna said. “He may have not been a god then but the entire world was made from his magic so when he was fighting it felt itself threatened and gave him and his undead power to protect itself and that magic turned into me and the people there knew of him and worshiped him as if he was a god.” She explained.
Elnir gave a nod. “Either way, if you do have followers, you do gain worship from them, those that devote themselves to you should be given the offer to become acolytes, not necromancers but extensions of your power, not powered by corrupting darkness but by faith, with which they’d be blessed with your undead and dark powers along with the protection you have, they’d be able to summon larger armies, and if they came together, could make much more powerful constructs like Grave Golems or even Eidolons! Such a force would be integral to facing the goddess of destruction, as having such titans on your side would put you on even, if not greater footing than her own demon forces. And to top it off, having such worship close by would put you at a great advantage over Circe in a one-on-one.”
“What are Grave Golems and Eidolons?” I asked.
Olthok decided to answer this. “Grave Golems are earth golems born of undead magic, formed from the graves, tombstones and even tombs themselves within cemeteries, these are both heavy frontline warriors as well as carriers of several undead soldiers that could leap out from their graves or act as archers from them to support the hulking creature. An Eidolon is in a sense, the revenant’s big brother, it is a massive collection of skeletons all brought together by a single purpose, on their own that would be for revenge, but for a strong enough undead controller it would be for service, the bones all join together to make a much larger construct until you have a mountain of skeletal fury, cloaked in darkness like a titanic grim reaper, and even a formed bone scythe to fill out the package… as long as they have enough power given to them, this colossus can’t be destroyed, it would just continue to reform over and over until its mission is complete.”
“Momma wants,” Eva said
“I believe I could do the grave golems easily the other one might be more difficult,” I said
“Like I said, having multiple focal points, like the acolytes that wouldn’t be corrupted, would allow at least one Eidolon… though in that case, one Eidolon would really be all you need.” Olthok stated.
“Didn’t I hear about a Revenge-oriented Eidolon violently rip apart a tyrannical dragon lord while singing?” Dranlun asked, to which the other four nodded.
“Isn't Eidolon also another name for a type of angel?” asked the original commander.
“I believe they were four winged angels.” I said but I walked to the window and magic a ball of condensed undead magic and dropped it and it sunk into the ground and the ground began to crack open as a stone fist punched through it and it pulled itself out of the ground it’s body was covered in tombstones and on it front a statue of a knight it did not have the coffins that he described so maybe it is a different kind of grave golem.” Olthok do you know why this one is different?” I asked.
“You didn’t have actual corpses already inside when it formed, so the magic could not create the warriors within the necrotic earth.”
“Well let’s see what he can do let me summon a few undead to fight it so we can see how it fights do you agree,” I said.
“What about our babies?” Eva asked them while looking at Orgran.
“Oh don’t worry about them,” Eric said. “Your young will emerge happy and healthy, even if a little earlier than usual, they’re just excited to see mommy with their own eyes.”
“You can hear them too?!” Eva asked surprised and since I did not get an answer I summoned a few but I waited for them to finish before making them fight.
“We’re their gods, it’d be rude not to hear every soul under our protection… also yes Talion, you can have it fight, though expect it to be more of a tanky brute rather than a thinking fighter.”
“Well, we won't know until we watch.” I snapped my finger and the undead I made charged the golem, a spearman tried to go for the statue but the statue’s hands grabbed the sword and cut the tip off the spear and the golem threw a punch at them, the spearmen gathered and formed a small shield wall and they almost went flying when the punch hit the shield, then its other fist glowed green and it punched the ground and the ground shook again and several undead warriors appeared from the ground they had ram horns and shields that looked like they were made from skulls and rib cages, they held small scythes as well . They charged the other undead and they were quickly dealt with by their new opponents.”Well it seems my grave golems have different powers than the ones you know.” I said.
“But there are some constants, the Grave Golem still grew more effective when it brought out undead support.”
“Well perhaps they would made better commanders or bodyguards, as well as front liners but now it is time for me to cast the spell,” I said aloud.
“Yes, let us bring out the children so we can give our direct blessing,” Rintae said.
I stepped in front of Eva and I had the spell ready. “Are you ready?” I asked.
“As ready as one can be to be giving birth,” Eva said.
I placed my hand on her stomach and she suddenly glowed brightly nearly blinding everyone in the room and when it dimmed she was ready to give birth at any time now.
We waited for about five minutes before *SPLASH* her water broke.
Orgran was the first to react, rushing over to Eva’s side as she began the first stages.
“OOOOOOOOOOOH” Eva moaned loudly.
“This reminded me of something but it can wait till this is over,” I said
“Somebody get the doctor, please!!!!” Eva lamented I got the doctor and brought him in and he got to work and we were told to get out only the mother and father could be allowed in so the other gods and I were in the waiting area.
{six hours later}
POV Change Eva
After being in labor for just over six hours I had a boy elf and a girl dwarf but both had wings Father arrived shortly after I gave birth.
“Welcome to the world Juntos,” Father said.
The two cheered happily and reached out to me and Father.
“It seems even though they are newborns they can understand the Ancient Tongue,” both me and Father said.
“Nah, they just want to play with Grampa’s horns.” Orgran said. “What does Juntos mean anyway?”
“It roughly translates to grandchild or grandchildren,” I said still thinking they understood at some level.
“So how did they come out?” Talion asked as he and the other gods entered the room.
“Well by the looks of their energy absorption, they’re developing rather quickly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they went through any growth spurts or started speaking.”
I turned to the Five God Kings and asked, “What did you all mean by giving your direct blessings?”
“Essentially we are going to give a piece of our essence to them so that they’re guarded by our divine energy.”
“Liathróidí!” the Dwarven child blurted out before giggling.
“What did she just say?” I said surprised she knew that kind of language.
“I don’t know why, but I feel that it was a swear?” Orgran said cautiously.
“It means balls in Celtic a forbidden language,” I said.
“I… am so proud!” Orgran yelled, causing both of them to cry.
“Well if they are giving them gifts I guess I should as well,” Talion said as he went into thought.
“Actually dear since you’re a Winged one it is not forbidden,” Father said.
“I got it how about a pet,” Talion said.
With a careful and cautious voice, I asked “What kind of pet?”
“Well it would only make them sad if a pet were to age and die so how about a skeleton dog that can repair itself and it won't age so it can be with them forever” Talion said.
“Sounds like a good one, though I think you should make two undead so they can both have a familiar.”
“Ok and I can give them a few abilities like howling to summon skeleton wolves to protect them.’” He said.
The two babies cheered and clapped for Talion, until we heard a pair of grumbles, causing them to whimper and reach for me.
“What's wrong babies are you hungry?” I said.
“Well they were just born, I think they would need feeding,” Orgran suggested.
“Well, I guess it’s time for lunch for them,” I said as I pull aside my dress and place them at my breasts to breastfeed.
Orgran just had this wholesome smile on his face as he watched… “you know, I don’t remember having any elves in my family… it’s like that incident where the Cakes, two Earth Ponies, ended up with a pegasus and a unicorn.”
“Well for all we know I have elven blood running through my veins somewhere,” I said.
“Fair enough.”
“Well in Mylinia Angels were a demihuman race that had Elven roots, maybe the Arcanite picked up on that?” Elnir suggested.
“What Arcanite?”
“You bred with a Dwarf, obviously with all the Arcanite in his blood, a fair amount of it would have entered you through his sperm, plus all that raw magic in your system might’ve caused mana to crystallize and become more Arcanite in the presence of the existing samples.”
“Ok, I'm finished.” Talion said and presenting two skeleton dogs the first one looked more like a wolf and the second one looked more like a dog .”I have given them both the ability to create skeleton wolves to protect the children by howling.” Talion said
“Thank you ‘Godfather’ Talion, they will be perfect additions to the family,” I said.
“Your welcome.” He said.
Right after he said that the twins stopped feeding and started to fuss. “What's wrong now little ones?” I said unsure about what was wrong.
“I think they need to be burped,” Talion suggested
I put them down and facepalm at not seeing it then I handed our daughter to Orgran to burp as I picked up our son. “There there baby it's alright everything will be fine,” I said as proceeded to burp him, and Orgran did the same for our daughter.
“Now comes the hard part,” I said.
“huh?”
“What is that,” Talion asked.
“Naming them,” I said.
“Well this rambunctious little Dwarf’s gonna be Pentil, I can see it in her eyes, cute little Pentil the Berserker!”
“And how about Legolas for the boy” Talion said
“That is a perfect name for him, Legolas, Legolas the archer,” I said
“go n-áirítear ach mar cheann amháin!” Pentil yells out suddenly.
“Ok?”
“What did she say?” Orgran asks.
“Roughly translates to ‘that still only counts as one’ that makes no sense,” I said.
Orgran however, was doubled over laughing, Pentil back in my arms as he finds it too hard to stand in his laughing fit. “Oh god, it’s so funny it hurts !!”
“What's so funny?” I queried.
“That’s a f***ing lord of the rings reference!!”
“I think we should move on before Pentil starts making jokes in English,” Dranlun suggested.
“I would have to agree,” I said.
The five kings gather round and focus on their right hands, forming crystals in each, then mirroring the same with their left hand. With a small gesture, the crystals from the right hand turned to mist and flowed into Pentil, and the crystals on the left turned into ethereal leaves and flowed into Legolas, the two babies glowed for a little bit before the aura faded, causing their wings to change into forms that matched their element, said element also forming little crown like halos above their heads.
“That was interesting,” Talion said
“So now that that's taken care of let's get back to the matter at hand what the f*** is lord of the rungs and how did Pentil know about it?” I queried
“Is it possible she learned from absorbing some of my magic and she saw a few of my memories?” Talion asked.
“Maybe but what is lord of the rungs.” I queried
“Well what you’re talking about is possibly a fantasy movie involving the most powerful magic ladder, but what we’re talking about is an epic fantasy movie involving a dark lord, Talion here is actually from the Lord Of The Rings universe, his actions ensuring Sauron’s downfall even after he fell to corruption.”
“so what kind of corruption was it?” I asked afraid he might snap.
“The corruption of the ring when they were first made they were given to each race’s rulers three to the elves, seven to the dwarves, and nine to mortal men doomed to die when the nine kings got the ring they were corrupted and became ringwraiths the servants of sauron.” Talion explained.
“Where do you fit into this?” I queried

Ch3 part 8 the new companion, the ring and the gauntlets
POV Orgran
...And Orgran proceeds to punch the god in the face. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU FUCKING IDIOT?! Don’t you know a soul-chain when you see one?! Could you at least consider that maybe he wasn’t speaking bullshit?”
“So you're saying my wives don’t love me too.” He said to Orgran with a glare as he shook his head and just left.
Orgran was having none of it and hit him in the back of the knee. “I’m not saying that but if you don’t shut up and listen to me , not that asshat, I’m gonna cut off your bedroom activities permanently, and I’ll curse it so you can’t grow it back!”
“Did you hear what he said he is the one that corrupted Shining, said my wives did not love me and killed every living thing on this planet.“
“And so your solution was to get yourself corrupted so the new dark Talion could then walk through that door only you can open and then doom your Equestria to becoming a wasteland and possibly having your corrupt self join up with Circe for some unholy evil power couple? Talion, haven’t you figured out what he is yet? Fully what he is?”
“What is he then, a mass murderer the person who rid an entire planet of life causing genocide and almost extinction-oh wait he has done all those things and more,” Talion said.
“Talion… he’s you , or rather, born of everything negative about you, not just Corruption but things you refused to think about, your rage, your stress… your doubts, this being has not lied once because he speaks the doubts you had but refused to acknowledge, the possibility that Cadence might have lied in order to get closer and take revenge, the possibility that Tempest’s brand influenced her emotions. These are doubts that would be in anyone’s mind, but you had a way to forget those doubts and push them out of your head. You can’t beat this foe because he is as much a part of you as you are a part of him. I’ve seen this kind of trial before, the idea is not to fight him, but to take a page out of the Ponies’ book and accept him, work to turn him around, and if you can do that, not only can you work to put these doubts to rest, but you can also ensure your corruption will no longer be a problem, as you’ll have befriended it.”
I looked to see him clenching his fist as dark magic wrapped around it and his sword was soon wrapped in dark energy as well his magic was going unstable I lunged for his arm and merged with him trying my best to keep it stable. “Orgran if you don’t calm him down we are all dead if his magic goes wild here it will destroy this dimension,” I yelled.
Orgran seems to gain a hard look in his eye, which becomes a steeled expression. “Sorry Anna, but just calming him down isn’t enough, he needs to see the truth, if he can’t he’ll just repress all this and try to kill Noilat again.” He then walked up to in front of Talion. “You’ve been shoving every negative feeling into him since day one, every upwelling of anger, every burst of hatred, envy or distaste, the doubts of what is true or not, the fear of Circe, and he knows it all comes from you. Yet even from his own twisted perceptions, what does he do? He tries to help you, he fills your pocket dimension domain with darkness and death which in turn powered you, provided corpses to help empower your army. Yes, he went about all of this the wrong way, but for something spawned from pure negativity, that’s an achievement. Look, I’m not saying to forgive him from the get-go, that’s impossible, what I’m saying is to accept, not reject, this part of you to find balance within… and he’s actually willing to try, despite how he’s been acting, he has been sincere when calling you ‘brother’, so he does see you like actual family.”
I managed to get him stable but it was still difficult to control his magic “I can feel every one of their souls you know that right.?“ Talion asked.
“And you think he doesn’t? Talion, put yourself in his shoes, you woke up, having a bunch of anger and paranoia that was not your own but from somebody else, stuck in a dimension and forgotten about like garbage, then the one time you meet the person who you are linked with tries to kill you. To be honest, he’s been pretty tame considering the circumstances, anyone going through that would probably end up a raging beast.”
“And the souls he used to decorate himself,“ Talion said.
“As I said, he’s not been in the best mental state considering his introduction into the world, in all fairness he probably wasn’t even self-aware when he influenced Shining like that, and the souls he was covered weren’t really in pain… I think they were just freaking out for the most part… okay, why the fuck did you strap pony souls to yourself?”
When we turned back to Noilat, he was a lot smaller than before, and the air in the world smelt a lot less dead, and he kept muttering to himself. “I’m not nothing, I do exist, I’m seen, I’m heard…” This was repeating over and over.
“...Holy shit he was keeping them to remind himself he was a real thing, that’s just sad.”
I could feel Talion calm a bit.
“Yeah, okay, it’s obvious now that this isn’t some dark overlord, this is just some spirit that didn’t know how to handle all the rage and fears it was getting, this is like serious psychotic break shit.”
Talion was completely calm now and was taking deep breaths. “Anna why did you even bring them here?”’Talion asked.
“I just wanted to show them the battle you fought here,” I said.
“And then I ended up seeing Noilat in the past fight while no-one else could because I saw his painting in the temple.”
“Well, what do I do?” Talion asked.
“The simplest thing is to try and accept him, work to reform and redeem him, this problem happened because he was ignored and forgotten while being pumped with negative thoughts, helping him out might allow you to turn him good.”
Talion's expression softened and he relaxed he then looked to the ground and just stared into nothing until he said. “I forgive you.“
Noilat looks stunned at the statement… then takes a deep breath. “Thanks… sorry about losing it and killing the world you made… if it makes you feel any better I think I killed a bunch of pony nazis when I was doing that.”
Suddenly a mark appears on Talion’s arm opposite of my own… it was that of a goat skull.
“Wait, did closure with your dark self actually make him your summon?!” Orgran said shocked.
“It appears so but let’s go,“ Talion said and went back through the door.
As we get out, Orgran decides to speak first. “Well that was a stressful situation, now if you’ll excuse me…” his eyes then roll back into his head and he falls face first to the ground.
POV Change Eva
I quickly ran up to him and tried shaking him to make sure he was alive only to hear a loud *snore* come from him.
“Diggy diggy hole… digging a… zzzzzz…”
“Too bad we never got to see the battle,” Anna said.
“Well we got to see part of what was going on, and we still have that recording crystal.” Dranlun pointed out.
“But the battle never started it didn't record it,” she said.
“What all happened in there and why was he so stressed?” I asked.
“It's a long story,” Talion said as he walked by and i saw his arm had a mark on it one that was not there before.
“Cool ink where’d you get it?” I asked
“That as well is a long story I need to sit down can you guys tell her what happened?” He asked.
{Half an hour and one explanation later}
“And that about covers what happened.” Eric said
“If you will excuse me i need to return to Talion and show him the crystal Orgran gave me I have had a feeling about it and he might need to see it.” Anna said as she slithered away carrying the crystal she talked about.
It was dead silent for a good minute. “Well now what the fuck do we do?” The Dwarf King asked.
“Anyone want to play poker?” I asked.
POV change Talion
“Hey Talion you should see this.” Anna said as she handed me a crystal and it felt strange when I held it.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I don't know.” She said so for now it will be in my shadow and that reminded me that i still had that Seraphim in my shadow as well I should probably turn him into an undead so I went outside and he was spat out by my shadow.
“AH TALION MY GOOD MAN THERE YOU ARE. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH SARTORIUS’ BODY?”
“I was going to turn him into a sentient undead they keep the memories they had in life but have total allegiance to their master.” I explained.
Roaring The FHG said “BLASPHEMY, SACRILEGE, DESECRATION, WHERE WILL IT END?”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“BLASPHEMY BY DOING THE WORK OF A SHINIGAMI, SACRILEGE AND DESECRATION OF ONE OF MY SERAPHIM’S BODIES AND THEIR MEMORY.” The FHG explained.
“You have no idea what Circe can do and with the time she has been given during my absence the gate has built enough power to let an army of demons large enough to topple a nation overnight, we have barely been able to stand against them I need every advantage I can get for the upcoming battles,” I said.
“YOU SHALL HAVE MY AID SHOULD YOU HAVE NEED OF IT.” handing him a warhorn The FHG said “BLOW ON THIS THREE TIMES AND ANY AND ALL MINOTAURS IN RANGE FRIEND OR FOE SHALL COME TO YOUR AID. BLOW IT ONCE MORE AND I SHALL APPEAR.”
“Thank you now can I do what I came here to do you can watch if you want?“ I asked as I took the horn and placed it in my shadow.
“I WILL STAY TO MAKE SURE ALL THE RITES ARE OBSERVED.”
My hand was wrapped in green magic. “normally I could release a mist that could do this but with him being an angel he might require more power to turn.” I explained as I touched him and the magic flowed out of my hand and spread though his entire body and he started to have spasms.”That’s not normal.“ I said and he continued to as his body continued to spasm and become contorted then his body became shrouded in magic and as it finished it dissipated revailing a black armored Seraphim with six black feathered wings wielding two swords that are strapped to his hip . “You will be my grave knight.” I said and he nodded then looked at FHG.
“ALL RITES WERE OBSERVED AND FOLLOWED THROUGH ON.”
“I am sorry I failed you.“ Grave knight said.
“YOU FAILED NO ONE!!!!” The FHG said louder than normal.
“But I was corrupted by darkness and so was the legion you gave me to fight the same darkness.” He said.
“HOW CAN YOU FAIL AT WHAT YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO SUCCEED AT?”
He simply nodded and said. “what do I do now?“ He asked.
“SERVE YOUR NEW MASTER WELL.”
He then looked to me and drew one of his sword and kneeld with his sword stabbed in the ground. “Geallaim féin duit máistir.”(I pledge myself to you master) he said.
“Let‘s get back to the party and maybe he can teach Eva a few things.“ I said to them and we went inside.
The party had died down a bit and only a few people remained and I saw Eva and the other gods at a table playing poker and Eva was winning.
At this point Orgran was awake and had decided to make the pot ‘interesting’ by placing an exact duplicate of his hammer up for grabs.
“Well we saved the day and we had the party what happens now?” I asked Eva.
“Now we plan for our next rendezvous in Orgran’s world.” Eva said
“That would be interesting to say the least so I guess we should go soon shouldn't we,” I said.
“Yeah… I still got things to do back home… but I’m gonna make sure I can be here for our kids, and when I’m done I’m getting the merchant to link our worlds so we can settle down.” Orgran said firmly.
“And remember if you ever need help or advice talk to the cheetah to contact me and if you move that door somewhere safe I can come over from time to time.” I told her.
“Well you are their Godfather!!!!” Eva said putting down a royal flush.
“Well this is the end of the adventure for today but there will always be more ahead especially for me and what happen to your wings?” I asked.
“I CAN ANSWER THAT, MISS LUCRETIAN HAS SLITS ON HER BACK THAT HER WINGS RETRACT INTO WHEN HER WINGS ARE NOT IN USE.”
“I guess that is good to know but now…” Before I could continue I heard the sound of Rainbow dash's voice.
“Hey we had a deal and I want to make sure you honor it!“ She yelled as she landed not far from me I almost forgot about our deal to clear Orgran’s name I made a few *Deals* to clear his name and one was with Rainbow dash so she does not just report him again.
“And what kind of deal was that?” Eva asked.
“A deal to clear Orgran‘s name
{Flash back}
I walked into the guard station and looked at the wanted board Orgran had not been added yet so there was a chance for me to change their minds normal protocol would Rainbow would want to talk to the chief so he could issue a warrant for his arrest.
“I have something I have to tell the chief if he has the time.“ I said to the receptionist.
The receptionist looks up at me then back down and pressed a button then a few moments later a green light showed up.”Go on ahead just take a left at the offices and straightforward it will be there.” He said as I followed the direction he gave me and walked into a spacious office it was mostly empty with only one desk and a few boxes around the room the chief was a unicorn in golden armor like Celestia's guards.
He was holding a picture and stared at it sadly.”Hello.” I said and he nearly dropped it but he caught it and put it face up on the desk.”I would like to talk to you about a recent problem between Rainbow Dash and a dwarf.” I said and he pulled out a file.
“yes but I have not gotten it ready yet I have been busy lately.” He said and I looked at the picture to see him with a mare they look alike so maybe their siblings.
“Who is this,” I asked and he looked at the picture again and I could see tears forming in his eyes and they dropped on the picture.
“My sister she was murdered by one of our own that was paid by a criminal.” He said and I smiled for a moment then got serious and cast a soundproof spell on the room.
“What if I told you, you could have your sister back,” I said and nearly jumped up and hit his hands on the desk.
“How!?” he yelled and I took off my hood and scaring him with my appearance.
“I want to make a deal you forget about the crimes he has done up until now I will bring her back any crimes he commits after will not be apart of the deal so what do you think?” I asked with a grin and he went silent amd sat down only to look at the photo again.
“Deal.” He said
“So where is her body? I asked.
“In the morgue right now” he said.
We headed there and he had the file with him and we entered the where they kept her body.
“What now?” he asked.
“Just sit back and watch.” i told him and dark mist covered my hands and as it touch the mare she breathed deeply opening her eyes for a moment then passing out.
“Take her to a hospital where she can be checked thoroughly.” I told him.
He handed me the file and I burned it with black flames then I walked to find and talk to this universe's Rainbow Dash.
I found her napping on a cloud an I flew up to her.
“Hey.” I said she snapped awake almost falling off the cloud then she looked at me with confusion as to how I was flying without wings.”I need to talk to you about a certain Dwarf if you don’t mind?” I asked and she had an angry expression.
“That psycho? he should be in custody by now.” She said.
“Well about that,” I said.
“What.” She said back
“They won’t be doing anything against him anytime soon,” I told her.
“But he broke the law he deserves to be in jail!” She shouted.
“Well, I am also here to offer you a deal,” I said and I peached her interest.
“What is it?” She asked.
“I can grant you almost anything you want just say it and if it is within my power I will grant it,” I told her.
“Can you make it to where I can get a good hit on his face I know I am not strong enough to fight him?” She asked.
“Yes I can but it will have to for a bit first make something like that takes a bit of time,” I said I could easily make something that could hurt him but if things go south I will need him to help Fight Nightmare.
“Fine but if you are lying I will just report him again.” She told me and I nodded.
“And that is what happened.“ I said.
“...nothing below the belt and I want her to hear my counter-offer before she decides to clock me.”
“What is it?” Rainbow dash asked.
“I am an artist in my craft, whether it being to shape the earth or crafting weapons, while Hearth is certainly not like most of his kind, I picked up some ideas, and with Rintae’s help… alright, let me clarify, you’re a martial artist and an ace flyer, correct? I’m offering a way to make both of those things more awesome.”
“What do you mean?” Rainbow asked.
“Dragonkin are basically a monk-like race, so dedicated to their craft that they refused to wield traditional weapons, instead they honed the skill of enchantment into the molten rock they had as they shaped it, creating gauntlets and boots that channeled their fire magic for massive martial power at melee or range, the same skills can easily be passed on into metal, I’m offering to make you a full Skytanium set of Dragonkin Martial Armor with wings as a bonus. With your unique pegasi magic, I think you’d find it cool for your karate to shoot prismatic fireballs or rush forward with rainbow blades, fun thing about it is since it’s all your magic, you can set it all to be non lethal no matter how dangerous looking they are.”
Rainbow thought about it for a few minutes. “Fine but if it does not do what you say your in trouble.” rainbow said to clarify.
“Ma’am, if I can’t get it to work I’d jump into the void itself out of shame, now if you want it to be a soul-bonded work I’m gonna need pieces of your essence, nothing weird, just a couple feathers or hairs.” Orgran said, and Rainbow pulled a few strands of her mane and gave them to him. “Alright, be back in a few, come see me if you wanna see the magic happen.”
With that, Orgran launched himself back to Ponyville’s blacksmith shop using a stone obelisk.
“Well i guess these will go to waste.” I said as I pulled out gauntlets from my robes.
Pentil gasps and snatches them out of my hands, cuddling them like a teddy bear.
Legolas started to pout and tear up at this.
Pentil noticed and looked a little guilty, giving the gauntlets to him even though it was clear she really wanted them too.
“I guess Pentil can have them and I can give Legolas something else.” I said and I decided to alter the gauntlets a bit and I touched and they dissolved and reassembled into smaller one that would grow with Pentil over time.
“What did you do to them?” Eva asked with curiosity.
“ I altered them a bit want to see what else they can do? “ I asked her as I took the gauntlets and they grew Eva took them and put the on and suddenly the gauntlets glowed and it covered her body after it stopped she was wearing female wraith armor .
“I feel so-so powerful!” Eva explained
“But… Lego sad! Lego have armor so he not sad no more!” Pentil whimpered.
“Don‘t worry I have something just for him.“ I said as mist gathered in my hand and formed a black ring and I put it on and dark mist surrounded me and made armor along with a sword and bow then I took it off and it shrunk in size to fit legolas it will also grow with him and I gave it to him and Eva gave the gauntlets back to Pentil.
POV change Rainbow Dash.
As my curiosity got the best of me, I had decided to see the Dwarf working on my armor.
As I headed in, I heard heavy clangs of metal on metal in a steady rhythm, the Dwarf humming a tune I had never heard before. Entering the forge I saw him, using that giant hammer to hit a gauntlet on the anvil, every strike charged with magic to force the hot metal to shape, then he began to sing in what I was hesitant to admit was a beautiful voice.
“Cold, the air and water flowing.
With his final hums he takes the batch of red hot armor pieces and gently lowers them into the water, steam hissing as the metal cooled.
“You know just staring silently from just outside the room is a bit rude, unless you’re in silent awe, in which case please continue.”
“What were you chanting?” Rainbow asked.
“It’s not really a chant, it’s a work song, one of many I’ve learned to remember, it’s said singing a song with a steady rhythm helps when you need to hammer at a steady pace.”
“That is interesting so when will it be done?” I asked.
Suddenly I found the Dwarf pressing a button on his stomach and lowering his goggles, the armor peeling away and shifting to reform into a white lab coat. “Well now I need to saturate the armor with magic to ensure it’s working.” he then, like something I’d expect in a sci-fi movie, pulls out a ray-gun and starts shooting at the armor, cackling madly.
“So is that it.” I said as he finished shooting.
“NO!” he declared, now back in his normal attire. “There is one important thing we need to do, to truly make it complete, and I want to entrust you with this last part.”
“What do I have to do?” I asked.
He held out the completed looking armor pieces to me, the hairs forged into the metal adding prismatic patterns that were flush with the shape, and the feathers adding an almost scale-like pattern, the gauntlets and boots were articulated at all the right joints, and the wing parts seemed to cover only the main limbs while long wires stretched down in a pattern, longer than my feathers. “I want you to name it.”
“I will call it Rainbow Melee” I said.
The armor glowed, and he handed the pieces to me. “Try it on.”
I put them on, and the wings react, a prismatic energy field emerged between the wires, acting to direct the field around my feathers. “That is part of the enchantment I like to call the ‘Absolute Defense’, the armor itself will react to any threats and protect you from them even if you aren’t aware of them yourself, like so.” he winds up a kick I didn’t notice until the last moment, yet my body moved on its own, dodging out of the way then kicking him in the nuts. “GAH!! I would like to point out, in order to ensure it doesn’t do things you wouldn’t be comfortable with, the armor’s consciousness is an imprint of your own mind.”
“That’s weird to say the least.” I said.
“It’s better than leaving it on random chance and risk your armor becoming a pervert.”
“So this is it what else can it do?” I asked.
“That’s what it does on its own, essentially the armor is directly tapping into your natural magic, while it’s not as effective as a unicorn horn, you’re able to direct the energy into weapons or projectiles, your mind choosing how they form. If you want a ranged attack, simply imagine you’re punching out a fireball, or throwing your fist into the distance, as you make the action… try it on that scrap armor over there.”
“Well I guess you held up your end of the deal and I will uphold mine.” I said.
“Thanks… it’s not just punching though, kicks and even slashing with your wing will have the same effect, also imagining weapons will cause them to form BUT! I have a warning for you.”
“What?” I asked.
“This armor is based purely around intent, whether in rational thought or not, you will need to learn an extreme amount of mental discipline to safely use these for non-lethal combat, because no matter if you truly want to or not, if in your anger your thoughts turn to killing your target, your attacks and weapons will be lethal and will risk actually killing them.”
“Ok.” I said and we left the blacksmith.
“Oh, also the moment I noticed you watching me I’ve been casting a spell called ‘Teacher’s Pride’.”
“What’s that?” I asked him.
“Well instead of telling you, why don’t you tell me what the difference between Raw Arcanite and Refined Arcanite is?”
“I don’t know.” I said.
“Why don’t you guess?” he grinned.
“Raw Arcanite makes magic and refined directs it.” I guessed.
“Exactly! I bet you’re wondering how you knew that, right?”
“How?” I asked.
“Well happy Graduation day Miss Dash, you now officially know everything about forging and metals at the level of a Dwarf.”
“That’s AWESOME! ” I said nearly screaming.
“Yep! You’re now able to handle maintaining your armor set, and it’s official!” he had the biggest smile on his face as he yelled out in public. “RAINBOW IS A FORGE NNNNEEEEEEERRRD!!” before disappearing into the dirt.
POV change Orgran
I popped like a fucking daisy in front of Talion and he had something in his hands in his left a small bag and he has something else in his right. “Hey Tallywacker! What’s shaking?”
“Nothing just with my undead not as infinite as I thought I came up with new soldiers these.?” He said as he show me the bag and it was filled with black marbles but they radiated dark magic.
“I thought the Blood Pit became a replacement for raw corpses when your dimension realized how much of a finite resource, so it’s just propagating a massive culture of living cells to constantly kill and form new undead, the dark sacrificial method of doing so also calling upon all those dark demon creatures.” I said.
“But there are no living cells for it to replicate since there is no longer life in that dimension I was thinking of a plan to restore life there as well but have not worked out all the details.” he said.
“Would this be a bad time to mention that the ‘blood’ pit is a magically fed primordial well filled with nothing but a collective mass of constantly reproducing biomass?” the goat skull on his arm informed. “I mean, this was a good idea, having new avenues of army growth should someone figure out how to cut you off from that dimension or destroy it, but you’re not going to run out of reserve troops on it.”
“But you forgot one thing.” Talion said to the goat skull.
“What’s that?” The goat skull said.
“Magic in my world and in that dimension originates from the soul so magic in the pool will soon run out, but if I restore life the magic of the new living souls will have just a bit of there magic drained every now and then and fuel the pool, and new sentient life will come back, in time. At first it will mostly be animals but in time hopefully sentient life will return.” Talion explained and then he pulled out the bullet he showed me earlier and he pumped as much undead magic as he could into it.
“Fair… wait did you just imply I don’t have a soul when we mutually share one?” The goat skull said.
“I am not saying you don’t have one but we can not fuel it if we are not in that dimension so it will soon run out of magic and then my undead will soon be destroyed by Circe’s demons, so there must be life in my dimension or we are all doomed.” He said.
“Brother I am in the dimension, this is just a link to me for summoning.”
“CAN WE MOVE ON?!” Orgran yelled. “Now, where did you get the idea for demon gems?”
“From the diamond or crystal you gave Anna it looks like it used to produce magic but it was fully drained and with its energy drained it could not make more so I crystallized my dark magic and programed them with bodies and abilities.” He said.
“Talion, like I told Anna, that’s not a diamond, that’s the failed attempt of your dark magic trying to make its own version of a sun which died… say, if it’s a dead sun of darkness, would you be able to make it un dead?”
“Maybe but the larger the crystal the more powerful it is that is why I made small ones first so they can be mass produced but we will need to be out of town to test it.” Talion suggested.
“Whatever, if it was probably still working it would have no solid matter anyway… wait why do you have that undeadifier bullet, isn’t your plan to bring life to the planet?”
“If I use the power of the gun to alter the power to life magic it will bring life and with it being my magic it will work and I will try to amplify the magic of the bullet as much as I can when it fires which will be ten times it current power but unlike my two magic we don't know if these two will mix but death can not exist without life so it might be possible for them to mix.” He explained.
I was silent for a time, then shook my head as I spoke. “I’m sorry, I’m just finding it hard to imagine any scenario where a GOD OF DEATH’S MAGIC was responsible for giving life and not undeath.”
“But the gun will change the nature of my magic I have seen it done before with Celestia’s magic and her magic is divine just like mine.” Talion said.
“It’s not allowed to Alter charges, if you’re doing this, why not just fire the gun and tell it you want it to shoot life? Hell, you could probably have it shoots bullets that upgrade soldiers or fully resurrect people regardless of afterlife rules, it is a gun loaded with pure imagination.”
“But it would be the guns magic not mine that does it so it might have some effect but not much it has to be my magic to does it or nothing will happen and Anna can help me alter it she is good with magic manipulation.” Talion said.
“Talion it draws your magic into the gun directly through the dream gems to fire, the gun itself has a minimal amount of magic that allows it to move and think and fire, but not enough to create to bullets.”
“Well we can try that follow me we will go to my dimension.” He said after we entered his dimension we looked for a good spot to do it “Here should be good but I should warn you beforehand.” Talion said. “As soon as I fire start running.” he said which confused me.
“You make it sound like we’ll be in an all mares convention during Estrus.”
“When I do this one of three things could happen first the undead and life magic tear each other apart destroying this world second it would be like a factory reset that restoring everything before Noilat destroyed everything and three trees could start sprouting up from the ground and life will slowly return Noilat will be safe as long as he stays in the temple.” Talion said.
“Can we get a better name for me?” The skull said on my arm.
“How about Baphomet?” Talion said.
“That works.” Baphomet said.
Talion pointed the gun and the ground and looked at me and I was prepared to run and he look back to his gun and pulled the trigger and I started running and before I knew it Talion was carrying me under his arm and and where talion shot the ground a pillar of light emerged from the ground and started spreading fast and was catching up fast then before I knew it we were through the door and my beard and hair were going through whiplash right now and the door closed.”It looks like the second one happened and it reset but at what point.” Talion said.
“What the FLYING FUCK IS GOING IN HERE?” Eva asked angrily.
“Let’s just say we just reset an entire dimension.” Talion said.
“Yep! Turned it off and on again! Wait… does that make your dimension a computer?” I asked.
“I don't fucking know but at least we got out of there in time.” Talion said
“You do know the twins are sleeping right?” Eva said
“And where are they?” Talion asked.
“Unky Tali get hit!!”Legolas said right before Pentil smacked him upside the head while wearing the armor from on top of Pix.
“Well hello Pentil sorry I woke you up.” Talion said as he took her off Pix’s head and set her in his lap not affected by the hit.
“It k uncle Tatas, you teach me new funny word!” Pentil said cheerfully.
“What is that?” Talion said.
“Fuck!” She declared in response.
Eva walks up to Pentil picks her up gives her to Orgran then shouts ‘HOLY SPEAR’ and throws it at Talion and he holds up a finger and it was wrapped in black flames and block the spear and the spear started to disappear as it burned away.
“Sorry about that we didn’t know and we nearly died in there, when we went in there I was trying to restore life in there and as soon as I shot the bullet I told him to run and we did and the world just reset as we rushed out the door.” Talion said.
“Pentil, Legolas, cover each others ears please mommy needs to have a grown up conversation with your uncle Talion real quick,” Eva said..
Pentil went a bit further and got Legolas to make some big cotton plants, then stuffed the resulting buds in,Itheir ears.
“What the FLYING FUCK were you thinking bringing Orgran with you there you both could have been ERASED FROM EXISTENCE!!!!” Eva said lividly.
“I originally wanted to go alone but Orgran got involved in it and he came along that's on him I am the that got us both out of there.” Talion said calmly.
“I could’ve run out myself asshole, I’m a Dwarf, not a fucking stubby-footed Leprechaun.”
“Well you are magically delicious.” Eva said.
“Well I certainly am to you since you kept ‘eating’ me last night.”
“Let’s not talk about this here.” Talion said as he peeped through the door.

Ch 3 part 9 a new house and dwarven physiology
POV Orgran
“Hey, honey?” Eva said.
“Yes, sugar lips?” I promptly slapped my overtaken face. “NO! Bad Alucard! No making me look bad in front of Eva!”
“Ok for one I kind of like it and two I just remembered I don't have a place to live,” Eva said.
“I mention some time yesterday I would buy you a house,” Talion said.
“Oh yea but do we even know if your money is good here?” Eva asked.
“Well with a door here and in my world I could bring over gems and precious metals and sell them,” Talion said.
“I checked our wallets, the bits we have are compatible for all three worlds,” I said.
“Ok, that’s good.” Talion snapped his fingers and a very large bag appeared and it hit the floor with a loud thud. “That should be enough and then some,” Talion said he opened the door and it revealed a forest and he grabbed the small bag that had the marbles off his waist and he walked through.
“Huh… neat.” Orgran said.
“It looks safe right now,” Talion said.
POV CHANGE Eva
“OOH! Let’s go explore!” Orgran said eagerly before walking through the door.
After I gave the skeletal animals and the tree sprite the order to watch the twins I stepped through the door before it closed.
“Wow,” Talion said as a screen popped up in front of him.
“What is that?” I asked.
“It appears to be some kind of command setting like controlling the time dilation of this dimension” and he tapped something and it grew twice in size. “Well, this is useful,” Talion said.
“What did you just do?” I queried.
“It looks like I pulled up a map but everything is different though the town that used to be there is gone now and is nothing but forest but there is a city not far from here in the opposite direction,” Talion said
“I vote we head to the city,” I said
“Yes, that would be a good idea,” Talion said and as we walked in the right direction Talion found a way to make the screen appear and disappear at will and when we say the city we were ambushed and there were ponies, minotaurs, zebras, and other species among them.
“Who are you state your business.” One of the Pony soldiers said and Talion had a few of the marbles in his hands.
“Visitors,” Orgran said pulling out a mug. “Free beer?” But they did not lower their weapons.
I tried to intimidate or get them to back down by flaring my wings but it had the opposite effect as it caused them to tense and take a more aggressive posture.
They charged and Talion said. “Leave them to me.”He said as she threw the marbles and magic start rush out of them and take forms there were two types the swordsman and the one that wielded a great sword that glowed with red magic and a smaller sword at their side and some of the swordsman swords turned into spears and their shields into tower shields but the rest stayed the same and the ones with great swords swung make a slash of red energy leave their blades and towards the guards it it hit the ground causing an explosion and they stopped.
I breathed a sigh of relief as the cloud of dust cleared and it showed all of the soldiers still alive but on the ground groaning from the shockwave.
“What is going on here.” A voice said revealing a female zebra priest and her robes were black and red and she had a staff that had a symbol on it and that gave Talion a look of surprise.
“Ooh, fancy! What kind of staff is it? Magic?” Orgran asked.
“This is the staff of a high priest of our god.” She said agitated as she approached..
“Really? Hey Talion, God of Death and Darkness, did you know about this cool symbol that fits your style perfectly?” he bluntly stated.
The zebra prist looked at Talion then the staff and she pointed it at him and walked slowly towards him and it glowed bright red as it got close and all of the soldiers dropped their weapons and kneeled and the zebra got on one knee.
“Uh what's going on why are they kneeling?” I whispered to Talion.
“Because I am their god you all may rise.” Talion said and they all stood up.
“Wow, you take getting attacked well… though I don’t think I’m one to talk, Dranlun encourages it, Olthok’s too nice to even pretend to hit, Rintae doesn’t care and would just kick the guy’s ass, Elnir is a pretty scary guy when provoked and Eric… well a lot of people forget his power is over water and that ‘bloodbending’ is a thing.”
After that was all cleared up we got an actually good look at the scenery, there were healthy, fully grown trees and there were the dead ones and there were a few made entirely out of bones when we reached the city their were undead living together with the living and as we walked by their was a skeleton merchant selling meats. ”Get your meats here!” He shouted and as we walked their was glowing everywhere every symbol that was like the priests was glowing as Talion passed.
“Hey! Do any of these shops sell beer or other alcoholic beverages!? Preferably fruity and flavourful!” he called out to the crowd.
“There is a bar near the church you can go their after we get our god in the church we can cause a giant panic like the end of the world or something else.” The priest said and we continued to walked through the city and into a church. “The bar is that way.” She said pointing at a building.
By the time we looked to where Orgran stood, there was instead a comical smoke cloud in his shape instead, off in the distance we heard the distinct scream of “BEEEER!!” As he rushed to the building after we walked into the church she had a smile on her face.
“Well here we are.” She said as she closed the door it looked like a normal church but instead of a cross it was Talion’s symbol.
“What does that symbol mean exactly?” I asked.
“It means several things really to some it means darkness and others death but sometimes resurrection you saw the skeletons outside walking among the living and selling their merchandise right.” The priestess asked.
“Yes, what about them,” I said
“They used to be alive but now they are undead they can choose to go to the afterlife whenever they want and most of them used to be guards, priests, or people that helped others it is seen as a reward from our god for our actions in life.” She explained.
“Ooookayyyy?” I said.
“Let me get us a few drinks to lighten the mood a bit.”She said as she walked out of the room.
“This is not what I expected for this world to be like but I’m not complaining.” Talion said.
“It's kind of what I expected!!!” I said.
Suddenly the door swung open and a griffon rushed in. “Priestess there is trouble!”
“What is going on.” Talion asked.
“There is- there was… it’s some kind of- it-it’s a creature and... it’s made of...” He continued to ramble.
Suddenly his attempts of trying to explain the circumstances were cut off by music , then the main doors burst open to reveal a massive construct made up of beer barrels, flexing dramatically as the wood and metal rings shimmered in a light as if it were heavily oiled.
“What is that.” Talion asked in confusion.
“I exist to quench the thirst of the masses. ” it spoke in a booming voice before blasting us without warning, causing us to hold various alcoholic beverages that seemed to fit our preferences.
“I have returned.” The priestess said as she walked back through a door holding a bottle of wine, then she sees the construct in the doorway and nearly drops it.
“Oh sweet, wine!” Orgran says as he casually walks in, grabs a glass for himself and drinks some. “Ooh, excellent vintage!” he then proceeded to give the glass to the ‘beer golem’, which then absorbs it.
“I am honoured to add to your list of beverages, master. ” It boomed, proceeding to flex again.
“Hey that is one of the few bottles of Death berry wine that we have you can’t just take some!” The priestess yelled.
“Oh! Sorry, Beerus, please compensate the mare.”
“Dispensing product at request! ” it declared before a bunch of casks and bottles of that very wine landed next to the zebra.
She tasted it and she shrugged her shoulders and said nothing but she mumbled something.
“Hey, don’t worry, that’s still your technique there, I haven’t figured out how to get him to make his own stuff yet, that wine is only good because you made it that good, and I should know, I’m a Brewmaster, one of the highest honors for a Dwarf!”
I put on my new vambraces , walked up to Orgran and socked him one and said “that's for making a twelve foot golem without, mind you, mine or Talion’s permission.”
“...sorry…”
The priestess grabbed two glasses and gave one to me and Talion and pours us some, the wine was almost completely clear but it had a sweet aroma.
“It is made from a very rare berry only found in a few places the death berries they are completely white and almost see through they give off a sweet aroma that attracts many creatures and makes them dangerous to be around for too long.” She said.
“Huh, a berry that causes fights and makes wine… could we rename them to Dwarf Berries? They sound very similar.” he joked.
“No.” she said flatly.
“Relax, I’m kidding, what is a serious matter is that Eva shouldn’t be drinking.”
I pouted but put down my glass anyway and said “why the hell not?”
“You’re breast-feeding Legolas, an elf like that would be at risk from the alcohol in your system, Demigod or not.”
“Well I guess I’ll have some then,” Talion said as he drank some. “This tastes amazing” He said.
“Hmm… don’t worry Eva, I think I have a solution, Priestess? Could you come here with your water affinity?” Orgran asked
“Sorry but what?” She asked.
“In my world, every creature has an elemental affinity, while you may not originate from there, it seems in some ways the concepts still apply, be it through how your aura reflects your very self or body language, with your love for winemaking and the calm flowing nature of your movements, you are very much bearing an affinity for water, and I need that to help give a small gift to my girlfriend.”
“Well sorry but I don’t have magic.” She said.
“I don’t need your magic, just your water affinity now just come here please,” Orgran asked and she walked over to him. “Alright, now I need you to hold absolutely still… since I’ve never done this before, but really when would I have a reason to temporarily hijack someone else’s body through earth dominion?”
“Wait what?” She asked.
She went silent as Orgran put his hand to her back and both their eyes glowed a soft yellow, the Priestess jerked her hand towards my glass, causing all the wine to lift out. With a flex of her fingers the wine split into two different liquids, one the wine and the other the pure alcohol. The wine was placed into the glass again as the alcohol floated to Orgran, to which when he released his hold on the Priestess he snatched the entire ball of fluid out of the air like a dog and gulped it down.
“...huh, guess beer really has flavour, raw alcohol is quite bland.”
“You should try Minotaur ale that stuff is five hundred proof that will put some hair on your back.” I said.
“Yeah! I’d take some home with me, I bet something like would really brew competition between Minotaurs and… oh right… aww, now I’ve made myself sad.” he said as he sat on the floor in a solemn mood.
“What happened?” the priestess asked.
“Congratulations, you’ve been a focal point for a spell.” He said, starting to curl up at remembering the loss of his race.
I turned to Orgran and raised my Vambraces and said in a sickly sweet voice “Oh Orgran honey!!!!”
“If you’re gonna hit me, do it… I don’t care.” he said in a broken, dull monotone of emptiness.
All of a sudden a portal appeared in front of Orgran and Legolas shot out on Pix's head and glomped him quickly followed by Pentil being carried by Olthok, and immediately he was happy again, cuddling his son.
“Okay, I’m better now, hey Olthok… where’s Pentil?”
The undead king looked at his arms to find the little Dwarf gone, though I notice her… currently crawling towards the casks and bottles of wine with a curious gleam in her eye.
“No-no-no.” The priestess said as she picked her up.
“Orgran we have a problem!!!!” I said.
“What, why?”
“Our daughter was crawling towards the wine,” I said with a worried tone.
“Oh! Right, that’s not safe!” he marches up to Pentil. “No young lady, you can’t drink stuff like that.”
He then proceeds to take a bottle from the pile and puts on one of those nipple lids and passes it to her. “There you go! Now you won’t spill it!” Orgran said.
The little Dwarf cheered and took it.
“Can you two take her back?” Talion asked.
“Yea, I think that's for the best,” I said dejectedly.
“I am going to stay here for a bit I will be with you shortly,” Talion said.
“Ok,” I said then turned to Olthok and asked. “Can you do that again?”
Pentil burped as in the surprise and Talion’s suggestion, nobody thought to take the wine bottle away from her, though unlike what I worried about, she seemed happy and a bit more energetic and attentive even after going through half the bottle.
“I don't think she should be drinking that,” I said.
“Ah, don’t worry, she’s a Dwarf! We’re built to be tough from the get go, one bottle of wine isn’t gonna hurt.”
“Ok fine but when she is hyper YOU are dealing with her.” I said
“Eva, it’s better she gains a love for the finer alcohols when she’s younger, I don’t want my daughter growing up to think grog is good enough for her.” He visibly shuddered.
Right after my little man said that, here comes his excellency, The Faceless Horned God who proceeds to say “and what is wrong with grog, it's a perfectly respectable drink?”
“Dwarves are the artisans of two things, steam-powered mechanisms, and alcohol, and while Grog is an okay drink, at the end of the day it is a crude thrown-together facsimile of beer made of fungus, I want Pentil to know as early as possible all the possibilities of Ale and other alcoholic beverages, while she still has that childlike sense of wonder so she knows she doesn’t need to settle for the simplest and cheapest beer to enjoy herself… thankfully this Zebra here has produced the most delicious wine I have tasted and created the perfect balance of alcohol content and flavour, this is the perfect drink to start a Dwarf on that path… Legolas will have to wait because Elves start off really weak in all but magic potential… like, even as a demigod he’ll need to be very careful not to get too sick or hurt himself.”
“Well the ring I made him will help make him stronger.” Talion said and the priestess was gone.” Where did she go?” Talion asked.
After a minute she came back in carrying a book and gave it to Talion. “This is an ancient book on magic that we excavated from an abandoned mine a few years ago.” She said and he looked through it.
“We should head back now it is still late in Eva’s world and the children should go to sleep.” Talion said.
“Okay, I’ve had my fun.” Orgran agreed.
“Before we leave I must try the wine you synthesized for me” I said. I picked it up and took a swig and my taste buds exploded with flavor
“You ok Eva you have standing there for a few minutes?” Talion asked.
Snapping back to reality I said. “Sorry about that but that's the best damn wine I have ever had the pleasure of drinking!!!!” I said and the priestess nodded.
“Agreed, happy I could ensure you didn’t miss out.” Orgran said.
“No, I’m fine I had some the other day during a celebration and may I ask your name?” She asked Talion.
“It’s Talion.” He said and she smiled after that me, Orgran and the kids went back to the door Talion said he was going to stay a bit before returning.
“COME OOOOON! LET’S GOOOO!”
“Keep your voice down the twins are trying to fall back asleep,” I said following him carrying the twins, who were cuddling each other.
“Now that’s just adorable.” Orgran commented.
“Honey?” I said.
“Hrm? Wait! Hold that thought.” he takes a long waterfall swig from his ale mug. “*burp!* okay, continue.”
“Two things; one, manners dear, and two, could you call Pix for me with your earth magic?” I asked.
He blinked, eyes wide. “I can do that?!” he looks to the ground, then sends a pulse into it, followed by Pix emerging from a tree. “Holy shit, I CAN do that!”
“You called Master Orgran? And please mind your language around the twins!!” Pix said into his mind.
“Wait, is it me or did Alucard sound nice for a second? Ah, no wait, he just told me ‘go f*** yourself’, everything is right in the world.”
“No that voice was me, Pix, master Orgran!!” Pix said again into his mind.
“Oh, fair then, Pix, I need to give you a word of advice for you and Eva… don’t deny Pentil her alcohol, it’s not gonna hurt her but if you don’t get her it, she’ll get it herself and break through several walls to do so, like any Dwarf would… oh, also help Eva with the kids please.”
“As you wish master Orgran.” Pix said walking over to me and I put them on Pix's back who then continued to walk alongside me.
“Well, let’s all go home and finally buy that house.” My Boyfriend declared.
As we walked through the door into the early morning light I felt at peace with the world and this situation.
“Well… I guess with everything stable, it’s time for me to go home.” Orgran said solemnly.
“Dear, can you take Pentil with you to teach her the ways of the Dwarves?” I asked hopefully.
But Orgran sighed and shook his head. “I can’t my Equestria is too dangerous right now, with the Caribou and the Netherlord breathing down my neck I can’t afford to risk her life… plus I couldn’t bring myself to separate her from Legolas.” He gestured to the cuddling twins.
“Can you at least stay for a bit longer so we can buy a house together?” I pleaded.
“Of course, I’ll need to know where to go once my business is finished and I move here to settle down with you, Hella and Chryssi.” Orgran said in a sweet voice.
“Shall we head to the town hall and see what there is available?” I queried.
With a pleasant nod we headed off to see the Mayor.
Once we reached the town hall we found out it didn't open for another four hours.
“...really? They’re really extending the story with wait-time?”
All of a sudden Pinkie Pie showed up and said “Hey Orgran the author says f*** you for putting a hole in her wall again!” after saying that Pinkie Pie just bounced away.
“...ooookay.”
“Honey what was that about?” I queried.
“Honestly dear? No F***ing Clue.”
“So what should we do for the next four hours?” I asked.
“... give Pentil and Legolas some extra siblings?” He shrugged.
With half-lidded eyes I replied “Let's do just that~.”
“Hey.” Talion said as he popped out of nowhere.
“Mother******, don't do that you scared me!” I said
“Sorry I just wanted to tell you something I found out how to mix my dark and death magics.” He said.
“Oh? So what’s this recipe for dark and death gumbo? ...that sounds tasty, but it’d have too many bones.”
“Well I need another familiar like Anna they would both work together and it would be possible to mix the two magics.” He explained.
“Sounds complicated,” I said
“Almost as complicated as Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia!” Orgran declared.
“What does that mean?” I asked.
“Oh it’s the fear of long words.” He said. “I WISH I was fucking with you.” Orgran said
“Do you too want to see him?” Talion asked.
“Sure!” I said a little scared of what it's gonna be and he lifted his arm and something was moving inside it and it slowly made its way to his hand and when it did it crawled out revealing a spider made of bones and he lifted one of his front legs and waved.
“What’s up.” The spider said.
“HOLY SHIELD” I intoned in a shrill voice.
“Wow-wow calm down lady I ain't going to hurt you.” The spider said.
I dispelled my HOLY SHIELD and slowly approached the spider. “Sorry about that I have a big fear of spiders and you look really scary,” I said sheepishly.
“Well I was born from undead magic and Anna was born from dark magic by the way you can call me umm how about Dave.” He said as he held out one of his front legs towards me and I took it and gave it a shake.
“Dave… the spider?” Orgran asked.
“Yeah got a problem with that.” Dave said.
“Nah, just that you and Fluffy both win the award for least fitting names.” Orgran said.
“Well I like my name.” Dave said.
“Fair enough, I’m Orgran the Red.”
“And I'm Lady Evangel Lucretian.”
“She’s got Arachnophobia.”
“Well it is a pleasure to meet all of you.” Dave said
“Sorry again about the overreaction.” I said rubbing the back of my head
“It's fine.” He said.
“Well, we got four hours to kill.”
“Talion can you watch the twins while me and Orgran go for some private time?”
“Sure.” He said as Pix handed him the twins.
“Thanks Talion! Come my mighty Dwarf we have some fun to be had.” I said as I dragged Orgran into the bushes.
“Oh I’m gonna rock your world!” he replied back, then surprised me with a pounce into said bushes followed by a dome of privacy.
{Three and a half hours later}
The dome pulled back after we cleaned up, however it seemed Orgran had been a bit more eager this time as my legs were still jelly.
“well we still have half an hour before the town hall opens what should we do?” I asked.
“I think we should buy Pentil some drinks, I wasn’t kidding when I say Dwarves can get antsy without alcohol on hand… in fact when we get sober we get a bit… weird.”
“Well it’s about time you finished.” Talion said as he walked up to us in his left he hel Legolas and in her right Pentil and his shadow was off the ground holding a bottle to Pentils lips.
“So what’d you get my daughter? Better not be some crap brand or you’re a dead motherf***er!” Orgran warned.
“It’s death berry wine and I also have seeds so I can plant them at my home.” Talion said.
“Oh good.” Orgran said with relief.
“*burp* uncle Tatas give fun bubbles!” Pentil said as she shook up the wine for some more sips.
“Bubbles? “Talion asked.
“She’s using her strength to fizz up the wine.” Orgran explained.
“Oh well here you go.” Talion said as he handed Pentil to Orgran and he held a small bag of seeds. “These are some of the death berry seeds she seems to enjoy the wine very much.” He said.
“Indeed she does, Uncle Tatas .” Orgran teased with a grin.
“I would much rather have her call me Tali but that’s fine as well.” He said.
“You Uncle Tatas because Tatas are funny!” Pentil giggled.
“well I think it's kind of cute!” I stated.
“Whatever you say Evee.” Talion said jokingly.
“Ok, what does that mean?” I asked Orgran.
“He called you a nickname which is coincidentally the name for a species of adorable magical creatures known as pokemon, think a brown furred fox with a short muzzle like a cat that adorably says ‘Evee! Evee!’.” Orgran explained.
“And she is as cute as one as well.” Talion said with a chuckle.
Pentil giggled happily at that.
I punched Talion in the arm and said “that's for making a reference I didn't get.”
“I wasn't lying when I said you are cute though,” Talion said.
“Easy now, that’s my future wife you’re talking about,” Orgran said.
“I know but you better take care of her,” Talion said.
“I will! And we’ll be happy! And have a big wedding to celebrate, I might even get the five kings to form Penticate so he can attend!” Orgran said and Talion smiled.
I was tearing up a bit at that as I pulled Orgran into a big cuddle hug.
And with our little emotional moment finished, the Town Hall finally opened.
“Well, shall we go buy the house so I can send you home?” I asked sadly.
“Well I need somewhere to set up the gate.” he said. “You know, the permanent dimensional gate that will permanently link our worlds together!”
“Well mine and Eva’s world are already linked so you don't have to build one to mine.” Talion said.
“I mean mine and Eva’s.” Orgran clarified.
“Oh ok.” Talion said.
With a firm nod, Orgran headed in with me to the Town Hall.
After buying the house we went straight there.
“Well here we are.” Talion said as we approached the house .
“Wow it looks so much better in pony than in the pictures.” I said.
Orgran carried several runed stones into the building.
“So what do we do now the bad guys are gone and everything is normal?” Talion said.
“Relatively.” The Dwarf said as he exited the building. “I’m personally upset to go, but I do have responsibilities to my Equestria, and leaving them to face down such horrors alone wouldn’t sit right with me.”
“And I have my own problems to deal with,”Talion said as well.
“Honey, what were those stones?” I asked.
“Gate stones, I just made a permanent gate to my home so we can visit each other whenever.”
“And I made these for you Eva.” Talion said as he handed me a bracelet.” That will let you enter my dimension so if you need to hide the kids or maybe you want to come visit you can.” He explained.
“Thank you brother Talion and here this is for you,” I said as I handed him a medal with a depiction of the Faceless Horned God on it. “This will get you access to any and all meetings of Minotaurs no matter if they are closed to outsiders and non-Minotaurs.”
“Thank you, Eve,” Talion said bowing his head.
“Well… this is it.” Orgran said.
“Yeah I guess it is.” I said sadly.
“Yes it is for now but this is not the end we will meet again.” Talion said as he hands his token back to Orgran. ”You almost forgot that Orgran.”
“Thanks! Oh, almost forgot.” Orgran smiled as he kissed me on the cheek and slipped something into my pocket before heading home through the gate.
“How do I send you back?” I asked.
“I’ll just go, I can leave at any time, I just wanted to make sure you had nothing else to say before I left.” He said.
“I can't think of anything I want to say!” I said.
“Well then this is goodbye, it was nice meeting you and keep your kids safe.” Talion said as he turned into black blood and vanished into the ground.
“There goes two of the finest pieces of ass I have ever seen. Come on babies lets go inside and see our new house.” I said walking towards the front door.
END OF CHAPTER
Ch 4 Prim and Proper Party Preparation
POV Eva
{Timeskip six months}
It's been six months, six months since they left and not a word from Orgran. After the events in Talion's world all has been quiet except a quick jaunt to a displaced Dark Spyro's world. I was also able to contact Talion through Cheetara and get some advice about raising babies even if half of it was for foals and pups specifically. I also started daycare for the little fillies and colts of the town to bring in some bits. The legion has taken up residence and fixed up the old castle in the Everfree.
“Hey, Cheetara I need to speak to Talion,” I said to the skeletal cheetah then its eye sockets glowed red and it looked at me.
“Yes.” Talion's voice said through the cheetah.
“As you probably can hear the twins are crying and I have tried everything from checking their diapers to feeding them to burping them but nothing is working. I need advice and fast.” I said in a frazzled voice
“Have you tried finding kids their age to play with, it might be that they're bored,” Talion said.
“They have the others at my daycare to play with so I'm not sure that's it,” I said tiredly.
“How about toys?” Talion asked.
“All they do is play with their gifts and cause trouble,” I said.
“Orgran?” He said.
“Still no word,” I said
“They might miss him or maybe you can ask Pentil or Legolas.” He said.
“They have stopped talking!”
“Well, that's strange.” He said and the cheetah's head tilted a bit. ”Well it is either they miss Orgran or I don't know.” He said.
“I would have to agree but the only thing I can think of is to go to his world,” I said
“Yes, that seems to be the only option,” Talion said.
“So how have you been these last few months?” I asked.
“Fighting Circe has left me a bit drained but I am alright.” He said.
“How are the wives?” I asked
“They're good.” He said.
“And the kids?”
“Growing fine and strong,” he said with pride.
“Yea, I know what you mean Pentil and Legolas have gotten so big I can't carry both anymore, and Pix has gotten bigger too almost to a regular tree sprites size and she can still carry them.”
“What how big have they gotten?” he asked.
“They each are around sixty pounds and are both in the two-foot range,” I said.
“I don't think that is normal?” He said worryingly.
“I don't either but I would need to talk to Orgran about that, and sadly I'm not ready to walk through a portal matrix just yet,” I said
“Take as much time as you need there is no telling what could be beyond the portal.” He told me.
“Yea and that's what scares me what if he is dead and I don’t know it?” I said shakily
“You will never know until you see for yourself.” He said.
“True, still I'm not ready for that eventuality,” I said
“No one ever really is but if he does not come to you, you have to go to him,” Talion told me.
“I know but still who can tell what awaits me on the other side. What if Orgran’s other wives don't like me and what if this ring is a mistake?” I said afraid is what I say true. Pulling out the box he slipped into my pocket all those months ago and showed it to Cheetara/Talion. Inside is a diamond engagement ring.
“You can’t think those things without your love for Orgran and his for you, you wouldn't have had kids that you love and cherish,” Talion said to reassure me.
“What do you think of the ring?” I asked
“It looks wonderful, might look better if you wore it.” He said.
“I don't feel comfortable wearing it until I give Orgran an answer, ” I said with a hitch in my voice.
“Well, you could send a message through it?” Talion suggested.
“That's actually a great idea thanks Talion.” I said going over to my writing desk, I pick up a quill and jot down a message with four words on it ‘my answer is YES’ and sent it through the rune portal.
“Now all you have to do is wait, is there anything else you want to talk about?” Talion asked me.
“Nothing I can think of,” I said to him.
“Then I guess we will meet again sometime and remember you still have the bracelet,” Talion said as the cheetah's eye sockets returned to normal.
All of a sudden a message popped out of the Rune Portal and it read ‘thanks for making this Dwarf very happy, I'll get to work on the ceremony... P.S. Hella and Chryssi think you're hot and they like you.’ To say I was happy would be an understatement, I was so happy I squeed and did a happy dance.
“Hey, Eva.” I heard and I turned around and saw Twilight.
“Yeah purple smart, what is it?” I asked.
“I got eight tickets to the Gala and I came to give you one.” She said.
“What's the Gala?” I questioned.
“It is mainly a gathering of nobles and a party.” She said.
“You, you are going to a party? I can't picture that.” I said holding back a laugh.
She frowned at that and said. “Hahaha so funny, I can't dance.” She said.
“Hey calm down I was just joking with you, I would be happy to go as your seventh date,” I said.
“It is not a date!” She yelled and gave me the ticket and walked away.
I proceeded to laugh my ass off at her cute tantrum receiving a middle finger in reply.
I chuckled and went inside to find some clothes after searching through all my closets and drawers, I went to Rarity's to get a dress made for the gala. As I entered Carousel Boutique I saw Rarity writing something down not looking up. Upon hearing the bell ring she went into her whole spiel “Welcome to Carousel Boutique where everything is chic, unique, and magnifique how may I help you?”
“Uh… Rarity.” I said and she looked up.
“Oh Eva darling what has brought you here today?” She asked
“I need a dress for the GGG.” I said
“You are going to it too, this is just perfect let me get me cloth and sewing kit ready.” She said as she walked away and came back a few minutes later with a purple dress .
“Here you go, on the house.” She said as she handed it to me.
“Oh….Rarity it's beautiful. I just couldn't not pay you for it.” I said, leaving no room for argument.
“It's fine darling, one of my clients asked for this one and sent an advance payment but they canceled last second and they said I could keep the bits, but you could pay to have it altered to fit you,” She said making me smile that I get to pay her.
“I think that is reasonable. So shall we get started on those alterations?” I asked and she nodded.
I left Rarity's shop garment bag in hand after THREE HOURS of poking and prodding, stitching, and altering the dress.
After returning home I saw father at the door of my house.
“Hello, Father,” I said running up to him.
“Hello Eva, how are you and the twins?” father asked.
“We’re doing fine father. How are things at Angel Castle?” I asked.
“Not so good. We have six angels grounded with broken wings from falling stone and we are having problems with the repairs.” Father said.
“That’s horrible,” I said.
“We could really use some help from the ponies but we don't know who to ask.” He said.
“I will ask Celestia at the gala,” I said.
“Really, you are going to the Grand Galloping Gala!!!!” He said surprised.
“Yes,” I said. All of a sudden someone crashed down near us.
“Well, miss Dash seems to be going also if the severity of her crash is anything to go by.” He said.
“That's nothing,” Rainbow said as she got out of the crater and dusted herself off.
“Really Rainbow, you should be more careful with your landings. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, don't fly near my house!” I said with annoyance.
“Well, it's not my fault this place has the perfect winds for my practice.” She said pouting yet proudly.
“It's because we're so near the Whitetail Woods RD,” I stated matter of factly.
“I concur, miss Dash, the Whitetail Woods do have great wind currents but you are flying dangerously close to a house with lots of impressionable children in and out of it,” Father said.
“ Well, they can see how awesome I am.” She said
“And your dangerous stunts that the Flyers might try to copy?!” he retorted.
“Well, sorry.” She said sincerely.
“Thanks, RD I appreciate that you understand the situation.” I also said sincerely.
“Yes, we don't want any little ones hurt now do we?” Father said.
“I will just head home now.” She said as she flew away.
After she is out of sight, Legolas and Pentil came out clad in their armor riding Pix like a mount, saddle and all.
“Look momma ride Pixy good!” Exclaimed Legolas excitedly.
“chuig an mbarra!” My alcoholic of a daughter exclaimed.
“NO! Pentil you are not going to drag Pix and Legolas to the bar.” I said with an air of finality, causing Pentil to pout. “Instead I and you will go and Pix will watch your brother.” This caused them to cheer and Pencil to jump into my arms laughing.
“Are you sure that's wise mistress, she just went yesterday?” Pix asked me with a hint of concern in my head.
“Pix you know as well as I do that if Pentil doesn't get a drink at least once a day she goes super smart, super strong, super fast, gets a headache and she gets BUCKING irritable. Do you want to deal with that?” I asked with a shudder.
“No mistress, I definitely don't want that it is scary.” Pix stated with another shudder.
After that exchange, I turned towards the Drunken Punch Saloon near Sugarcube Corners. Upon arriving at the DPS we see two patrons getting escorted out by the bouncer, both are covered in bruises and cuts as if from a fight. Walking around them I walked into the saloon , by the door a card game was going on and in the back was a brand new pool table. I looked towards the bar and saw the unicorn proprietor Berry Punch wave us over. I walked over and put Pentil in the booster seat put out for her by Berry Punch and order her a bottle of scotch. “Here ya go Penty my littlest and bestest customer.” Berry Punch said in a tone that said she had been sampling on the job again.
“Berry Punch have you been tasting your liquors on the job again?” I asked
“~Hic~ Maybe? What ya gonna do about it?” Berry Punch slurred.
I thought for a moment before smirking. “I just put a curse on you that turns any alcohol you drink into water.” I said I couldn't do that but she might be drunk enough to believe it.
“NOOOO NOT MY PREC~HIC~PREC~HIC~PRE~HIC~ PRECIOUS ALCOHOL!!!!” She screamed running away with a few bottles in hand ranting and raving about the inponyty.
Feeling sorry for BP I went up to her and said “Berry, Berry, it was just a joke to get you to stop drinking on the job.”
“Well, no nonalcoholic beverages for you for two weeks.” BP said crossly while pouting.
"*sigh* Fine it's not like I spend as much money on myself as I do on Pentil's drinking anyway," I said almost dejectedly.
"Well, why doesn't she just drink from your tits like a normal baby." BP said in a moment of drunken clarity and that gave me an idea.
"Hey, you know Punch that's not a bad idea. I gotta go see Twilight now see ya later." I said excitedly as I picked up Pentil left the bits for Pentil's drink on the counter and ran out the door. After getting outside I strap Pentil into the baby carrier and took off into the sky using only two wings to take the road less traveled to the Golden Oaks Library. Seeing that I was coming in too hot to the library I unfurled my other two sets of wings and used them like a braking system to slow myself down. After coming in for a landing and only slightly cracking the ground instead of cratering it like the first time I tried that. I proceeded to knock and after a few moments Twilight came to the door.
"Eva what are you doing here" Twilight asked with a smile.
"Hey Twi, uh unusual question but how good are you at living enchantments." I asked.
"I am adept at them." She said."why are you asking?
"I need my tits enchanted to make milk-ohol so i can save money and Pentil can still get her drink on. But the enchantment would also have to allow Legolas to drink regular breast milk." I said in the way of an explanation.
She fired a beam of magic at my left breast. "There" she said with a smile.
"Thanks Purple Smart. Now to let Pentil test out the vintage." I said pulling out my left breast for her to feed from. Pentil started to suckle hesitantly at first then more vigorously after she tasted my milk. "I would call that a resounding success. She never wants to feed this much." I said proudly
"I used the Apple Families cider to make the alcohol in your breast, it is very good." Twilight said.
As Pentil finished feeding and gave out a big yawn her stomach let out a loud gurgle. Knowing what that meant I speed walked outside turned Pentil away from me and gave her back a light double pat. Out came a very loud and very long *BUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRPPPPPPPP*
“Mamma, Penty happy” Pentil said in her cute little voice.
“Thank you again Twi you really and truly are Purple Smart,” I said with a huge grin.
"You're Welcome." She said and she waved at me and closed the door. I recovered my breast with my shirt and took off towards home. After arriving at home I put Pentil and Legolas down for a nap which they took willingly. An hour later there is a frantic knocking at the front door. At my door were a panicked Fluttershy and Twilight and Fluttershy was carrying with her a bird with very few feathers.
"Eva you have to help Celestia's pet Phoenix is sick." Twilight said and Fluttershy brought it in.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" I laughed uncontrollably.
"What's so funny if you don't mind me asking?" Fluttershy asked as she cradled the Phoenix.
"That's a Phoenix right?" I asked.
"Yes," Twilight said.
"Twilight i thought you would know Phoenixes are immortal they are reborn from their own ashes when they die," I said incredulously.
"Well since they are so rare there's not much research on them," Twilight said.
"Well, I saw a book on rare creatures in your Library and on the cover was a Phoenix," I said.
"Well the Phoenix page is mostly lore and theories," Twilight told her as she rubbed the back of her head.
“It might seem like lore and theory but it is all true,” I said happily. Happy that I know something twilight doesn't.
"Well, we should take her back to Celestia sorry for bothering you," Twilight said and they started to leave.
“Wait, why don't I take Philomena back to her myself and explain the misunderstanding to her and in exchange you can watch my kids they should be asleep for about another hour.” I said and they nodded and Fluttershy gave her to me.
I thanked them as I walked out the door. Unsure where Celestia was I decided to use the Ancient Language to find her. “BORNA Celestia” A glowing path popped up in my vision leading towards the center of town. I followed the glowing path to Sugarcube Corners where it sounded like a party was going on. I walked in to find an actual party going on. Looking around I see the other four girls, Spike and Celestia surrounded by guards looking out for trouble.
"Eva, what are you doing here?" Celestia said with a friendly tone.
I held up the Phoenix. “Well, you see Fluttershy saw Philomena here looking sick and she tried to nurse her back to health to no avail. I set her and Twilight straight about a Phoenix’s physiology and how at the end of their life they combust and are reborn from the ashes.” I said holding Philomena out to Celestia and she gently grabbed her and cradled her in her arms.
"Thank you I was wondering where she went. I hope to see you at the Gala." Celestia said.
“Oh, you will,” I said.
"Well, I should get her home," Celestia said.
“It was good seeing you, my old friend,” I said
"It was good seeing you two but i must go now my sister must be bored out of her mind right now," Celestia said and I chuckled as she left with her guards.
“Well, that went better than I expected,” I said heading home.
END OF CHAPTER
{time skip one week later Eva POV}
It was the night of the gala and I was nervous as Tartarus about my meeting with the princesses. I was at Rarity’s Boutique getting ready with the girls and Father was at home taking care of the twins. I was the first one to be ready and left waiting for the others to get their makeup done. I went to see what the dresses looked like and they were stunning .
"Hey Eva ready for tonight?" Twilight asked concerned.
"No, not really. What if's keep playing through my head." I said nervously.
"Don't let what if's get you down live life to the fullest." Rainbow said boastfully.
"But they have never steered me wrong yet." I said in a matter of fact tone.
"Then why don't you bring that cheetah thing I'm sure Celestia wouldn't mind." Twilight said.
"You mean Cheetara? I don't see why not." I said and then whistled a specific tune . The skeleton Cheetah soon showed up with extreme speed and stood beside me. "Hey, girl. Hey, Rarity do you have anything I can put on Cheetara to make her look presentable?" I asked.
"I don't think i do besides maybe a collar." She said pulling out a beautifully made collar .
I took it and put it on Cheetara it fit perfectly. "How much do I owe you Rarity for the collar?"
"Just a few bits I made that in my spare time so I don't have much use for it." She said and I nodded handing over twelve bits.
"Thanks Rarity for the collar it looks beautiful on her." I said stroking Rarity's ego as we got on the train to Canterlot.
"So what can the Cheetah do?" Twilight asked me.
"By roaring she can summon skeletal wolves to aid in the protection of my family, she is a direct link to Talion, and super speed." I said confidently. At that all of their jaws hit the floor and they were quiet for probably a good twenty minutes.
"So Talion could be watching us right now? Twilight asked.
"Oh no no no, he can only see through her eyes when I call on him except in an emergency. The eye sockets also glow red when he is looking through them." I said.
"So how are the kids?" Rarity asked.
"Mine or the ones I watch?" I asked.
"Your's darling." She said.
"Growing like weeds." I said nostalgically.
"So what was that door you and Orgran went through before he left?" Rainbow asked.
"You know Rainbow Dash, that's not my story to tell." I said after a few moments of silence to think.
"NEXT STOP; CANTERLOT STATION."
"I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE BIG PARTY!" Pinkie yelled as she jumped up and confetti fired from nowhere.
"Pinky it's not that kind of party!" I said chastising her as the train came to a screeching halt.
"Then what kind of party is it?" Pinkie asked as we disembarked.
"It is a formal party pinkie where nobles come to talk business and find new partners to do business with." Rarity said causing Pinkie's mane to deflate a tad bit.
"It's alright Pinkie you didn't know!" I placated causing her mane to return to full Pinkie-osity.
"Okie dokie lokie." She said as she hopped along.
"So Flutters why did you want to come to a large gathering of unknown ponies. I understand the others reasons but yours escapes me?" I said perplexed.
"I just want to meet the animals in the castle garden." She said with a smile
"You mean all the little shits who used to sit on me and use me as a toilet." I said bitterly.
"Well i'm sure they didn't know you were real." She said.
"I know for a fact that Philomena knew I was real and she still shit on me." I said right before Pinkie's tail started twitching.
"Twitchy tail twitchy tail something is falling." She said right as I almost got beaned by a safe then a bookcase and finally a piano.
"I either pissed off someone or I'm having really bad luck tonight." I said right as we reach the gates to the castle.
"Tickets please." Said a guard that looked familiar to me he had a cutie mark of a blue shield with a lightning bolt on top of it. Recognizing the cutie mark I remembered him. I turned to Twilight and whispered to her. "Hey, Twi isn't that the guard you used to hang out with and who you kissed by my statue?"
She blushed and said. "Yes, we used to date back then."
"Huh, I guess he got promoted since then, I see lieutenants stripes on his arm," I said proudly.
"I guess so." She said and we handed them our tickets and walked inside and Celestia greeted us.
"Hello, Eva." Celestia said.
" 'Ello your majesty, this is quite the large crowd!" I said cordially.
"Yes well, this may be the biggest Gala we have had in years." Celestia said.
"With this many dignitaries in one room aren't you worried about assassins and thieves?" I asked.
She lead me away from everyone and said. "Yes that is also why I also asked you to come you see their have been rumors they may be unconfirmed but I don't want to take chances." She said with a serious face.
This caused me to put on my game face. "What kind of rumors?"
"We don't have any names yet but there is a rumor a criminal organization is going to attack.? She told me.
"Shall I summon some guardian angels or did you have another plan in mind?" I asked.
"Yes I have guards stationed around the party hidden from plain sight." She said.
"We have much to discuss, the two of us and Luna." I said casually and she nodded. After that she lead me to the Gala and we found Luna and we went to a separate room. "I'm sorry to pull you two away from the party but some serious help is needed at the old castle." I stated.
"What is it?" Celestia asked.
"First off they could use some help with the rebuilding. The conditions are dangerous since they don't have the proper equipment. Secondly, they could use a medic to help with the wounded." I listed off.
"We will do what we can." Luna said after some deliberation with Celestia.
"Thank you that should help a lot. The next order of business is to party hearty." I said with a shit-eating grin and we went to party.
We had time to find Pinkie Pie sulking in a corner." What's wrong Pinkie Pie"?
"This isn't my kind of party." She said morosely.
"Excuse me miss are you Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie?" A servant holding a box asked.
"Yes." She said.
"Well this is for you, a strange creature dropped it off and said to give you this note." The servant said handing the box and said note to Pinkie Pie.
She opened the box and found a cake inside and she smiled and hopped around.
"So who's it from Pinks?" I asked curious who would send her a cake at a time like this.
"From The Author." She said with a grin.
"This is the third time this 'author' has been mentioned by you who is she?" I asked.
"SPOILERS~!" Pinkie said in a sing-song voice that sounded oddly familiar.
"That doesn't help!" I said slightly miffed.
"I know but I can't tell you. She said so." Pinkie said.
"Since you're not gonna tell me I think I'm gonna go find Applejack and see how business is." I said and I stormed off.
I found Applejack trying to sell Apple treats and I walked up to her. "Sup Applejack how's business?"
"Not good no one wants to buy." She said.
"Well how about I buy your showcase?" I said.
She smiled and said. "Sure partner." I happily pulled out my bit pouch from my purse and handed it over and she gave me the boxes she had out and my change. This prompted the nobles around us to gallop over and want to buy from her too.
Seeing I helped a friend I went to see if I could find Fluttershy in the gardens and scare that stupid badger that kept peeing on me. I found the local caretaker huddled up in the fetal position rocking back and forth muttering "that mare is scary, that mare is scary" over and over.
"YO FLUTTERSHY." I yelled.
"Eeep." I heard from beyond some trees.
I walked over and saw Fluttershy wearing a camouflage hat hiding in a bush looking manic. "Ah there you are. Why are you wearing camo? And why do I sense scared animals all around here?" I asked.
"I'm just trying to make friends." She said.
"The animals here are a bit more skittish than the ones outside Ponyville. Maybe try sitting and letting them come to you in their own time would be best." I suggested and she smiled and nodded. After calming down Fluttershy I took off to find Spike in the city. Flying had gotten easier for me lately. I found him just walking around the city when I landed on a roof to rest.
"YO, SPIKE!" I yelled down to him.
"Hi, Eva." He said climbing up to me.
"Sup squirt? Why are you wandering the city instead of being with our friends?" I inquired.
"Because I am never really welcome at the gala." He said.
"Why not?" I queried.
He looked around then at me and said. "Because a lot of the nobles are racist pricks."
"Hey Spike, how good is your night vision?" I asked.
"Pretty good I think." He said rubbing the back of his head.
"So is it just me or do I see creatures on the castle roof?"
He looked towards the castle and said." Yes I do too."
"Spike get on my back we are returning to the castle now!" I said sternly and he nodded his head and got on my back. I immediately flew off back towards the castle.
"Why are we returning it's likely just workers." Spike said
"Because Spike if they were workers they wouldn't be wearing all black and carrying weapons. Plus Celestia told me there was a rumor there was going to be an attack on the Gala." I told him.
After I landing I told him to find a place to hide and I went inside to find Celestia. I found her at the entrance to the Grand Hall talking to Twilight. "I am so happy your friends are having a good time Twilight. Although I don't know how the pink one got her hands on an endless cake?"
"Thank you." Twilight said.
"She got it from someone called 'The Author'." I said walking up to them.
"So Dracochangewing is active again that is so good to know!" Celestia said.
"You know of 'The Author'?" I asked.
"Everyone must have their mysteries," Celestia said. "So what brings you back to the castle and without my son too?" She asked me prompting a raised eyebrow from me and a few nobles around us.
I leaned in and whispered, "I saw figures in all black wielding weapons on the roof. Spike is here in the castle hiding."
She looked around then said. "Do you have any weapons?" She asked and I pointed to my bracelets.
"Good there's no telling when they will show themselves." She told me just as she said that some of the windows and the skylight shattered dumping about twenty creatures of various races in the Grand Hall all wielding some kind of bladed weapon except for a large Minotaur who was carrying a heavy rams head maul .
"SURRENDER TO US THE SIX WINGED ONE AND YOU ALL ARE FREE TO GO!" The Minotaur bellowed and then guards came from everywhere from under tables, behind columns, and out of thin air and I noticed some of the guards that were under the tables had crumbs around their mouths.
"Did you really think you could take Eva with so few numbers." Rainbow Dash said boastfully.
"DO YOU THINK US THE 'BROTHERHOOD OF THE ETERNAL WORD' IS A GROUP OF UNTRAINED THUGS?" He bellowed.
"Just give up you're surrounded," Celestia said.
"MEN ATTACK NOW LEAVE NO ONE STANDING EXCEPT THE SIX WINGED ONE!" He roared.
They and the guards charged at each other and the fight began as they collided these members of the brotherhood were professionals and were holding their ground against the guards.
The leader ran towards me and Celestia "Relinquish the six-winged one and no harm will come to you." He yelled as he swung his maul making us have to back away to dodge it and I tapped my bracelets to summon my sword and shield.
After his maul passed me I jumped towards him with my sword pointed towards his chest.
“Do not think to challenge me! I will easily-” *splat!*
The sudden and unexpected noise echoed around the room, causing all to turn to the door that had been ripped from its hinges, collapsing upon the minotaur and crushing him rather unceremoniously. Our collective gaze was drawn to the door before moving upward to the culprit, who I could only assume but didn’t believe it to be, as said individual was encased in a humanoid machine that radiated flame and carnage.
“I no longer fear pain! ”
After that was said Cheetara tackled an enemy that was behind me and I saw its eye sockets were glowing.
"Sup Talion glad you could join the party!” I said
"Sorry if I'm a bit late I was busy." Talion said through Cheetara.
"No problem, better late than never." I said calmly as I sliced open another Brotherhood member's torso spilling their guts onto the floor. "Sup sugar lips?"
“Not much… now, who’s trying to put their paws, claws and whatever the fuck else on my wife?” The being in the mech, now identified to me as Orgran, yelled out.
"HEATHENS, WE PROTECT THE WORLD FROM THE WINGED ONES. WE DRIVE BACK THE HORDES OF DAEMONS. WE ARE THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ETERNAL WORD." All the remaining enemies yelled out.
“Well I’m the lord of the Immolating Crack!” he declared as he turned the mech around and unleashed an inferno from its hindquarters at the attackers. “FEAR MY TERRIBLE GAS!” Having backed away from the attackers when they were yelling the guards were completely fine when they got immolated by the flaming fart.
"Run from the grossness and the horrible Pain." Screamed a blond noble in a white suit.
“Oh hey look it’s Blueballs…” Orgran commented before turning back to the remaining enemies. “Alright! Now we-wait a minute… did you guys say you kill Daemons ?”
"Yes?" Said the single remaining enemy that since it just barely escaped the flames was revealed to be a griffon cock.
“Then why’re you going after an angel? They’re like… the exact opposite of daemons! You can’t just hate the dark beasts of evil and then go for their enemies the paragons of honor and light you absolute cock , and no I don’t mean your fucking gender!”
"DIE HEATHEN!" The griffon screeched as he lunged at Orgran with a halberd poised to strike.
It bounced off the mech’s armor with a pathetic *ting* sound. “Dude, just… just stop, you barely survived a silent but deadly and now you’re trying to pierce the hide of a metal giant, at this point you’re just embarrassing yourself, just take the L, come quietly, and I won’t need to give you high-pitched singing lessons.”
"IF I CAN'T KILL YOU BEAST I WILL JUST HAVE TO SETTLE FOR COMPLETING MY MISSION!" He said as he turned towards me and lunging.
When he got close to me I dodged the halberd and grabbed his wrist and flipped him and he hit the ground and I placed my foot on his shoulder and then pulled on his arm and he yelled in pain. I bent down to him and whispered "I'm not as defenseless as you might think."
"Guards take this griffon away." Celestia said and guards stood him up and tied his wrists together as well as his wings. The moment he was stood up and bound, a sudden wedge of rock erupted from between his legs, giving a heavy and resounding *DING* on impact, causing the prisoner to let out a loud squeak of pain so high-pitched it caused every stallion to wince… except for the Dwarf casually walking out of the mech towards him.
“You see? You see what you just did? I warned you , the guy with the giant mech suit warned you and you didn’t take his word for it, I roasted your buddies alive with a fart joke and you thought I wouldn’t give you a caveman’s vasectomy? You’re the idiot in this scenario… dumb cock.” On that note the guards dragged the whimpering griffon away.
"Well looks like things are fine for now, so I guess I should go, bye for now." Talion said and the glowing stopped as Celestia walked up to me.
"I have been planning this for when the gala ended but now seems as good a time as any." Celestia said.
"And what pray tell are you planning Celly?" I asked her nervously
"I am making you an archduchess." She said surprising everyone in the room.
"But Auntie Celestia there hasn't been an Archduchess in over five hundred years. Why do this now?” the Stallion asked.
"Because there are forces that are in motion and me and Luna can not fight it alone anymore." She said.
“Yeah.” Orgran said. “Like how Nightmare Moon made her return and got the nightmare demon banished from her, making her Luna again, the release of Discord, the return of the Crystal Empire, the return of Tirek, lots of bullshit, mostly because a certain someone simply sealed it up and thought ‘buck it, I’ll deal with it later’ and you’re mostly only going to let Twilight know about them only after they’re free!”
"That is because it has to be that way." Celestia said.
“Right, except back in my world if I didn’t speak to Discord’s faint sense of morality he would’ve mind-raped the element bearers and leave the artifacts unable to be used, if I didn’t send Twilight a step-by-step guide to find the Crystal Heart several thousand crystal ponies, the rarest ponies in existence by the way, would’ve been slaughtered in Sombra’s quest to retake the Empire, and I didn’t even get a chance to stop Tirek because when he was discovered he had decided to destroy the Well of Concept! It was the only thing that kept that universe together!” Orgran suddenly pulled Celestia down by the horn to look her in the eye. “Everything I know is gone with no trace left to mourn, no souls to pass to an afterlife, because my Celestia thought it ‘has to be that way’ too, think on that before you spout that bullshit. ”
"I'm sorry." She said mournfully
I ran up to Orgran and hugged him. "Oh, baby I'm so sorry. WAIT, what about Chrissi and Hella are they ok? Please for the love of the Faceless Horned God let them be ok!"
“They’re waiting outside.” Orgran said and I rushed out to meet my herd-sisters followed by Orgran, Twilight, and Celestia and what we saw surprised us. Standing there was Chrissi
“Sisters?” Hella said in confusion.
Chrysalis looked equally confused, but then smirked between the two of us and asked. “Wincest?”
"Herd-sisters it's what we call the other mares, hens, or heifers in a herd here." I said in my teacher's voice.
“We called them herd-mates back in our old world… but I like this term, much kinkier.” Chryssi said as she pulled us in tighter. “‘Hey, I wanna take my sister over the table and fuck her brains out’, I love the sound of that~.” She purred seductively causing twilight and me to blush. “So Twilight, have you met my counterpart yet?”
"No." She said curiously.
“Call me when you do, so you can tell me to go fuck myself.” Chryssi said
"Oookay." She said.
“Because I completely intend on doing so.” Chryssi started.
"Ok." She said again.
"Ok moving on. Would you two care to meet your herd-children?" I asked with a huge smile on my face.
The two looked at me with shocked expressions, before sharing the same grin I wore.
"I'll take that as a yes." I said as I let out a shrill whistle and Pix showed up with Pentil and Legolas in little saddles on her back.
"You called mistress ?" Pix asked.
"Yes, and you did exactly what I thought you would too and brought the children. Good Girl." I said in a proud voice confusing some of the others.
“Dafuj are you talkin’ to?” Hella asked.
"Oh silly me, I sometimes forget that not everyone hears Pix in their head when she talks. Pix was summoned as a Minor Tree Sprite but because of constant exposure to Denequss' magic field has ascended her to the realm of a Lesser Tree Sprite."
“...if you’re trying to make people think you’re crazy, you’re doing a right good job there.” The dwarf girl snarked.
"Young dwarf mistress I can very well talk so you can hear me if I so choose." Pix said into her mind.
“AH! NO! Bad fae-dog creature! No non-consensually penetrating my brain!”
"Mistress? " She asks me.
"Hella is it alright for Pix to talk to you?" I asked.
“Fine… but she’s gotta ask me out to dinner first.” A resounding round of face- hoof, hand, and paw goes off at that sentence. “...fudge all of you with your prudish sense of humour!”
"Páirtí leapa" Pentil said
"Pentil do I have to get a bar of soap for your mouth?" I said
“Don’t you dare!!” Hella said immediately. “I will not have you sully her tongue with such a horrible thing! Her taste buds are still developing!” She said angrily. “If you must, wait until after puberty!
"But she just swore and in the forbidden language too!"
“Considering a child like her’d normally be around an entire society of drunkards, you should be proud that she keeps it in a language no-one else will know!”
"It still isn't appropriate for a six-month-old to be swearing." I admonished.
“A six-month-old child who is blessed by god kings, comes from a race of creatures that are known to mold the earth better than any earth-bender through magic ore in their blood, who needs to drink alcohol to calmly function, is rapidly maturing, and was sired by a guy who has an artifact that turns him into a, and I have to quote this, ‘fuck-mothering’ vampire.” Orgran countered.
I pondered that for a few minutes before replying. "Ok, that's a valid point," I said.
“Now if anything, if Legolas is swearing, that’s cause for concern.”
"Why is that he has been swearing just as long as her?" I asked.
"Máthair fucker!" Legolas blurted out.
“Because Elves and Dwarves are different in their affinities, the reason why they both tended to butt heads back in Mylinia, Dwarves are hard, rough and tough like a mountain, able to take in punishment and give some back with our abrasive nature, but on the inside, what we show to those we care about, is a shining, smooth and pure gem, as beautiful and delicate looking as it is unbreakable… Elves tend to mirror nature throughout the course of their growth cycle, starting out as a delicate and sensitive sapling that barely has its roots dug in. This stage of their life is one of relative weaknesses both emotionally and physically, what would be comparable would be if I said he was a ‘poopyhead’ when he was still crawling on all fours and could barely speak, it would be like if I broke all your bones, kicked you into Tartarus and then said I never loved you, they’re that sensitive.”
"So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that what he just said isn't normal?" I queried.
“Yeah, my best guess is that Pentil’s been teaching him new words without explaining what they mean, just explain to him what words are bad and he’ll probably take a bar of soap to his tongue on his own… and trust me, he’ll grow out of it and be a strong and dependable oak you can rely on… though he might get quirks.” Orgran said thoughtfully.
"What kind of quirks specifically?" I asked
“Depends, but let’s just say Onera had no shame when it came to dressing up like a french maid for Selena,” Orgran said with a huge grin.
"O….k," I said unsure about anything anymore. "So I've been wondering why your magic felt familiar and I think I know why now."
“Huh? How do you figure?”
"It feels like the air and earth on Whale Island used to feel," I said with a faraway stare towards where my old home island was.
“Woah… I feel like we should check it out.”
Suddenly, there was a loud crash, causing me to turn my head to notice a tan-colored pegasus crashing through a window; sending shards of glass everywhere. The pegasus goes sliding across the floor and pushing bits of the nearby red carpet and wrinkling it.
"GUARDS!!!!" Celestia yelled in the RCV causing the pegasus to cover his ears and start shaking.
“Wait! I’m just here t-” before the pegasus could finish his sentence, he found him surrounded by spears pointing at his face. The pegasus swallows a good lump of his own saliva.
"STOP!" Fluttershy yells at the guards surprising everyone but me.
"Miss Fluttershy, what is the meaning of this interruption?" Celestia queried.
"Eep… well you see he is carrying a courier’s badge of office and they never are armed." Fluttershy explains getting a look of recognition from Celestia and me.
"Guards stand down." Celestia stated in a calm motherly tone. By Celestia’s command, the guards slowly eased off, allowing the pegasus courier to let out a sigh of relief. The pegasus looked around with his brown eyes until they landed on me.
“I've been looking for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver - your hands only.” The pegasus said as he reached back, only to halt when he noticed his hoofs. “Oh for divine’s sake..” he mumbled as he got up. The pegasus lowered his head to allow the bag to slip off. Using his snout, he pushes the flap open to allow himself to pull a letter out using his lips as to avoid getting the letter wet. The pegasus made his way over to me and held the envelope in front of me.
"Thank you my good sir." I said taking the surprisingly dry envelope from him and curtsying. I opened the letter and started to read it and groaned.
"Eva why did you groan?" Celestia asked worriedly.
"It's another token of sorts it says:"I hope the courier didn't give you too much of a spook, he can be a coward but most times he can be determined when it comes to delivering your letters or packages across the void. Now, what I offer you, is my hammer to smith. If there's a design and material, I can forge it and enchant it with magical properties of whatever you want. All I ask in return... well, just any form of humanity or anything that can help me keep my sanity. To summon me, all you need to do is write a new letter containing your reply, the courier or the void will take it from here."

Author's Note
Hey y'all I have updated the chapter to include the disappearance of Orgran, Hella, and Chryssi since Orgran is no longer a story. But don't worry Pentil and Legolas won't be going anywhere.
Ch 6 Part 1 (updated)
{Half an hour later}
I finally finished writing the letter and put it in an envelope then handed it to the Courier, here is what it said:
"Hi Alared, Names Evangel Lucretian and I could use a good smith right about now so if you have the time come on over, but if I need to come to you here is my token."
“Short and to the point.” The courier said with a note as he carefully grabbed it in both hooves, placed it in his bag, then dipped his head down to scoop it up. The pegasus didn’t fly though, all he did was glance toward the window, shuddered, and began to walk away, only for a swirling portal to open up and allow him to leave.
Just as we were all preparing to leave for home, Orgran and my herd-sisters just disappeared from existence. No slow fade out or even a portal they were just there one second and not the next.
{A few later back home}
I just finished putting my dress away and putting the twins to bed after calming down both of them down from having what happened to Orgran right infront of us, when I heard my name called and felt a pull in my stomach pulling me backward into a portal. On the other side of the portal, it is twilight and the sky has a solid purple tint and there is a waterfall to my right. When I look to my left I get a vague sense of deja vu when looking at the house there. The house looks like something out of one of Luna's video games called 'Equestrim.' I walked across the bridge past the stable and up a set of stairs onto a porch and I knocked on the door. While I waited for someone to answer I looked around and happened to see a stag drinking on the other side of the river. The moment the door opened, I saw what looked like a man with a beard grown around his mouth. He was wearing a blacksmith’s apron, red shirt, leather pants and boots while his hair looked a little messy but it looked like he did try to clean it, except his face that appeared to be covered in some sort of black smear. At his hip carried by a leather ring was a black hammer that had unique designs that looked like two snakes intertwined and mirrored on both edges of the blunt. Other than the strangely glowing baby blue eyes, he looked mostly normal.
"Are you the Displaced that called me here?" I asked curious as to if he was indeed the summoner named Alared. The man’s eyes looked over my appearance.
“I know the token said you were a Seraphim, I thought you’d be more bird-like.” Alared said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
I then proceeded to unfurl my wings out of my back. "Is this more what you were thinking?" I asked with a smirk.
Alared blinked. “A lot closer, actually. I did not know angels could hide their wings.” Alared said as he looked at the wings on my back.
"I think it's a unique trait to the highest echelons of angels because my heavenly host can't do it, not even my second-in-command." I said pondering this conundrum.
“Fair enough.” Alared said with a nod. “So, what can I do for you?” Alared said as he backed out of the way to let me in.
"Thank you." I said as I walked past him. "So how does this work, do you need to measure me or something?" I asked innocently while taking in my surroundings. The room I found myself in was I guess the word would be cozy. There was a table with weird-looking gems on it in one corner and in the opposite corner was an oven.
“Depends on what you’d like. Blades, helmets? Pretty much anything to suit your needs.” Alared explained as he closed the door half-way, then poked his head out to make sure of something. Alared closes the door all the way.
"Well as you can probably tell I'm in serious need of a good set of armor and maybe a weapon or two. The armor I have has seen its fair share of wear and tear and should probably be retired." I said thinking back on what all I have gone through with this armor.
“Can do, Evangel. Depending on the material of the armor, it’ll take me a few hours or a few days.” Alared said as he started heading down the stairs.
"Please call me Eva everyone does except maybe Luna. So where are we going?" I asked nervously.
“Fair enough. As for where we’re going, we’re heading to my workshop.” Alared said as he descended down the stairs.
"Oh ok, so what kind of Equus do you live on?" I asked, trying to be friendly.
“...Equus?” Alared asked as he looked over his shoulder at me.
"Yea, you know, the planet we are on." I said looking at him like he was a two-headed elf.
“This place is more of a big island than a planet, Eva, or at least what’s left of it.” Alared said as he reached the bottom, then turned to his left to walk through the room. In the room we walked in looked like where people would wait for their order.
"WAIT-WAIT-WAIT, ARE YOU SAYING WE ARE ON A GIANT ISLAND IN THE VOID?" I yelled in a panic.
Alared softly cringed at the volume of my voice. “It’s what i’ve discovered so far, yea..” Alared said as he walked into the next room what appeared to be the storage area.
"Heh-heh, sorry, I sometimes forget the strength of my voice." I said scratching the back of my head while following him.
“At least it wasn’t as loud as most of the dovah around here." Alared said. I noticed that there were some mannequins wearing armor of various designs, each custom and different than the previous.
"Wow,” I said with a whistle. “They are some nice armors, did you make all of them?" I asked curiously.
“Just some copies of previous orders just to show examples of my work.” Alared said with a half-smile. “..Even if some of the designs are kind of forced knowledge I had to practice.”
"Forced knowledge? Do you mean that you were given knowledge of designs by force or something?" I queried.
“Overtime. The more I smith, the more designs that popped into my head, like getting inspiration you never asked for.” Alared explained as he went into the next room; it felt fairly warm inside and I noticed why. The next room was the forge including the smithy, the smelter, and the actual forge.
"Awesome, I could get some serious practice done here. The only place better is the temple forge." I said looking around in nostalgia.
“Hey, I’ve got plenty of materials for you to experiment with, and if I run out I can always don my armor and go mining in one of the many caves i’ve found so far.” Alared said as he walked on over to one of the chests that sat on the shelves. Alared opens it up to reveal many ingots varying in color. “...Well, except for the ones infested with Frostrolls.” Alared pointed out as he seemed to remember something.
"Oh no-no-no, I'm just an amateur smith in my spare time, I think I'll leave the smithing to you." I said.
“Fair enough.” Alared said with a nod as he kept the chest open. Alared reaches into one of the pockets of his Apron as he pulls out a fairly worn book. “This is what I've made so far, don’t mind the badly drawn pictures.” Alared said as he handed me the book.
I flipped through the book and found a number of pieces that I liked: the Nordic Carved Pauldrons, Hedge Knight Helmet, Armour and Gauntlets, and Witchplate Boots, Greaves and Hood. I also saw something called the Tribunal armour set. Then I got to the weapons and oooh boy were there a lot of them but I finally decided on the Moonstone Ornate Bow and the Silver Whip for my armor and a rapier and scimitar to go with the Tribunal set.
“Wow, you’re really going all out with this order.” Alared said at the choices I made. “Any kind of special enchantments you’d like? I mean the witchplate hood and boots usually come with only runes which will only appear if I enchant them.” Alared explained to me.
"Enchantments?" I asked.
“Magical enhancements that help you passively, or to bound a spell to them to allow you to cast without using your magicka reserves.” Alared explained as he stroked his goatee.
"So all of those spells in the beginning of the book were Enchantments?" I inquired.
“They’d be in my enchantment room.” Alared said as he moved past me, through the storage room and going to the right into a new room I haven’t been in .
"Cool space. So what are we doing in here?" I asked.
Alared reaches out to grab a book labeled ‘Enchantment Catalogue’ written in old fashion ink. “This is the enchantment I've discovered from the many objects I've disenchanted.” Alared said as he handed the book to me.
I start to flip through the Catalogue like a man in the desert finding an oasis when I see something concerning a necromantic enchantment. I tapped Alared on the shoulder and showed him the enchantment. "Why do you have a necromantic enchantment?" I accused
“I discovered that one on an old staff. I honestly didn’t know until the magical hymn faded into my mind.” Alared said as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Oh!" I said a blush forming on my cheeks.
“It's become a bit of a hobby of mine since arriving here, just go explore the world and learn what I can.” Alared explained before coughing into his fist. “Not the most unusual I’ve learned though compared to the enchantment that allows you to heal others just by hitting them.”
"Ok so I'm gonna get back to looking at the enchantments now." I said in embarrassment sticking my nose in the book. After about an hour of looking I came up with a few enchantments I wanted: Soultrap, Waterbreathing, Calming, Fortify Agility, Resist Magicka, Absorb Magicka (Aura), Fortify Luck, and Light.
Alared was writing this down on a piece of paper as I said the name of each enchantment. “Alright, once I’ve got the items smithed, we’ll decide on what item will be with what enchantment.” Alared said as he headed back to the forge room. “We’ll start with a simple ring.” Alared said as we walked side by side.
"We? Do you mean I'm going to be helping you craft the items?" I asked.
“No, you’ll just help me decide on picking a design considering the many different cultures.” Alared said as he pulled out another book from his apron’s pockets as he handed it to me.
I flipped through it until I came to an Orcish Triskelion Ring which I then pointed to the design.
“Good choice.” Alared commented as he reached into the chest to pull out a green tablet-shaped ingot. Alared walks up to the anvil, takes out his hammer, and starts to work on it. "Hey, since you showed such a fascination with enchanting, why don't you try it out while I work on this?" Alared asked as he smiths away.
"How does enchanting even work in this world?" I asked, he proceeded to explain how enchanting works and that's how we spent the next two hours with him lecturing and me listening and taking notes. "So let me make sure I understand. How enchanting works is every spell has a different hymn, same with the soul that was trapped within the soulgem. What you need to do is close your eyes and concentrate; see and listen to the magical harmonies of the spell, try to find the right sync so that the soul and the spell will agree on. Once it is found and the two become one, you must put them into the object. Be careful though as if you use the wrong hyrm, the soulgem will break; thus releasing the soul inside." I said looking at my notes.
“That is correct. Now, when I say soulgem, I don’t mean something like this.” Alared began as he took out a purple gem. “But like,” Alared continued as he put it away and took out another, only this one was glowing brightly. “This gem has a frost troll trapped inside by a Soultrap spell.” Alared explained.
"So what do I do if I run out of charged soulgems and what do I need to do to get enchantments?" I asked.
“There’s two ways to get enchantments. You can either learn them from disenchanting magical objects, or you can bind your own spells to them. The spell itself will use the soul’s charge as a source instead of magicka. Now, the enchantment can recharge itself slowly and in order to allow them to recharge faster is if you practice or use mysticism or enchantments, even more so if you’re gotten good enough to place up to three like I said." Alared said with pride.
"Now for the million-bit question do you think that I could bind my Ancient Language summons to something using Enchanting?" I queried.
“If it's magical in nature, sure, although you may need to experiment, I mean our ways of magic come from two different worlds and function on a different kind of logic.” Alared explained as he picked up the orcish ring with leather gloved hands to inspect his work.
"Ok, so how do we figure out if it's compatible?" I asked.
“Like I said, experiment. I can’t say if it is or isn’t…” Alared said with uncertainty. “You could try if you’d like.” Alared said as he held up the ring he was inspecting.
"Got any spare blank rings I can use?" I asked excitedly. Alared reached into some kind of small jewelry box and started shuffling around until he pulled out three silver ring shanks. “Just head back to the other room that has the enchantment table.”
I took the ring shanks and headed to the other room to try my luck at enchanting. Getting to the enchanting room, I grabbed a filled soulgem from a jewelry box then proceeded to the enchanting table to give it my first try. I placed my hands on the table and the rune on the table started to glow. Closing my eyes, I saw in my mind my chosen summon phrase APOPHA-TIST ENT-TET and it was a golden colored halo and a purple one instead of what Alared described. I did as Alared said and tried to harmonize the two rings and surprisingly it worked and the rings turned green.and synced up into one ring and disappeared from my mind so I opened my eyes and saw the soulgem floating in front of me and exuding a purple aura towards one of the ring shanks. As soon as the glow faded from the soulgem, it dropped back onto the enchanting table leaving just the green glow of the ring behind. As soon as I came out of my trance I felt something draped over me it was a fur cloak. "Huh, I guess Alared was here. How long was I out?" I pondered then I picked up the ring and ran back to the forge to show Alared but he wasn't there. So I went back upstairs to see if he was there. Upon arriving at the living room I see Alared sleeping in a chair with a book in his lap. I was so excited that I succeeded that I started to shake him by the shoulders until he woke up.
“Who-Dragon-where?!” Alared asked as he was startled as he lifted his hand; one of his rings glowing gentle as he appeared to almost say something half-way. “...I almosted blasted you..” Alared said as he stared at me with those bright blue eyes of his.
"LOOK-LOOK-LOOK-LOOK AT WHAT I DID ON MY FIRST TRY!" I squealed.
“First try without the soul gem breaking?” Alared asked in surprise.
I beamed and nodded. "Yup, my very first try." I said.
“How strong was the spell you used?” Alared asked curiously as he lowered his hand.
"It's a mid-level summons called a Sapling Ent," I said sheepishly. "Would you care to see it?" I asked.
“You’re either a natural, you might have been lucky on your first time. Sure, let’s see it.” Alared asked as he sat himself up in his chair.
"Ok, so we might want to go outside for this since they tend to be pretty tall." I told him. Alared nodded, then got up as he looked interested. I followed him out of the house and to a field not too far away.
“Is this a good spot?” Alared asked as he looked around.
I nodded and pulled out the ring. "APOPHA-TIST ENT-TET" I intoned and suddenly a large 7" humanoid being with smooth wood-like skin came into being, surprising me because of the fanfareless entrance.
“T-thaaat’s a big one, reminds me a a bit of the Spriggan ancients, but alot bigger.” Alared commented as he stood still.
All of a sudden the Ent kneeled to me and said in a booming voice "WHAT NEED OF ME DO YOU HAVE MISTRESS? AND HOW ARE WE ON MUNDUS?" He boomed
Alared almost stumbled by the Ent’s large words. “Well, part of that is my fault. I was teaching her the fundamentals of enchantments.” Alared explained to the Ent.
"OH, YOU HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED HAVE YOU, QAHNAARIN?"
“Qah-what?” Alared asked in confusion.
"IT MEANS 'VANQUISHER' IN DOVAH" Tist Ent boomed.
“I think you have me confused for someone else, I haven’t vanquished anything…” Alared said in puzzlement. “Just me surviving and exploring.”
"VERY WELL MY GOOD SIR." Tist Ent said bowing to Alared.
Alared looked at me in confusion, then looked back up at Tist Ent. “Is this a thing among your people to give respect to those who got through hardships?” Alared asked.
"IT IS A SHOW OF RESPECT TO THE MISTRESS'S STATUS AND YOURS." He replied.
“Fair enough, I suppose.” Alared said, his voice still unsure.
"Are you ok, Master Alared?" I inquired about him.
Alared was taken by that. “MASTER Alared? Where’d that come from?” Alared asked as he gave me a look.
"Well, you did teach me enchanting and you are a master smith right?" I said.
“It’s just it’s the first time anyone's called me that.” Alared explained as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Well it fits you perfectly!" I said determinedly.
Alared went quiet for a moment as he thought about it. “Doesn’t feel like I've earned it but I guess I have since I practiced using the forced knowledge. It’ll take some getting used to.” Alared said with a smile.
"Well, you deserve it after all you have and are doing for me." I stated matter of fact.
“Fair enough,” Alared said with a chuckle. “Thank you.”
"You're welcome." I curtsied to him
There was a moment of awkward silence as we stared at each other. “...Right. Uh… Is there anything you’d like to show?” Alared asked.
"Show? Like what?" I asked.
“Just asking in case you made more than one ring. “Alared said as he looked up at the Ent.
"Well no, I was so excited that I had succeeded that I rushed to find you." I said, kind of embarrassed.
Alared couldn’t laugh at chuckle at my words. “You remind me of a kid.” Alared said jokingly.
"So what did you do while I was enchanting the ring?" I inquired.
“Smithing your order, of course. I’m surprised you didn’t see it on one of the mannequins.” Alared said as he looked over at me.
"I wasn't paying attention." I said while shrugging.
“Well, when you’re ready, just dispel the summon and your tall friend will be sent back.” Alared explained, then caught himself. “Oh, right, uh.. Just say something as a form of goodbye, then say ‘Dispel’ afterwards.”
"Return to the Plains of Eletira my friend 'Dispel'." I intoned and Tist Ent disappeared into motes of light.
Alared nodded in satisfaction as he turned around to head back home. Along the way, instead of following the same path as before, Alared decided to follow the rock covered path home. Alared suddenly stopped in his tracks as there was a soft echoing roar that traveled across the sky. Alared started back away into the tree with his left arm almost shoving me back. What flew across the sky was a dark watery-blue dragon with a white underbelly; each plate of its scales glowing. It had two short horns and two wide tusks grown from its jaw. All around its body protruded black spikes, especially long ones along it’s hips and kneecaps. It’s eyes glowed a dark blue as it glazed across the ground. It’s wingspan was pretty wide with a crystal-pattern along it’s white membrane. I had to do a double-take when I noticed that the dragon had somewhat of a feminine shape to them. Alared kept dead quiet until it was well out of sight.
"Holy shit that was scary!" I said holding a hand over my heart.
“That Lunar dragon has been around here for three days now, it hasn’t tried to destroy anything or make any attempt at bringing harm,” Alared said as he slowly walked out from under the trees.
"Why not try talking to it then?" I asked.
“I’d rather not try in case it’s some form of trickery just to have me as it’s next meal.” Alared said as he cautiously walked along the path.
"I think it's a good dragon." I said optimistically.
“I’ll find out later, maybe.” Alared said as we arrived at his home and went through the door; returning back to the storage area where my new armor sat on its mannequin.
I was beaming like the sun upon seeing it finished "It's-it's-it's beautiful." I said in awestruck wonder.
“Hope you don’t mind but I chose what each piece of enchantment did.” Alared said as he walked up to the mannequin, he then proceeded to explain what each piece did according to what my order. “They don’t have custom names yet, so you’ll need to will your magic into them in order to be able to cast them.” Alared said as he took out a new ring and some sort of necklace with a symbol on it from his apron’s pocket. “Here, a little something for you for doing well on your first enchantment.” Alared said as he handed them to me. The ring itself was like green scales overlapping and connecting with each other and ending at a flat end showing a triskelion sign. “It’s a ring of Soultrap, just give it a name, cast it on a target, then proceed to slay it. The second is a necklace; a symbol of the empire. I enchanted it so it will help your voice and your speech.” Alared explained as he reached into his apron again to pull out soul gems. “Give the enchantment table some studying so you can draw your own. The touch of your hands will fill it with your magic.” Alared explained to me.
"Ok I think I will do that instead of having to come back here every time I need to enchant something." I said looking down at the gauntlet I see two rings that he never explained to me. "What about those two rings?" I asked curiously.
“Cure common disease and conjure permanent familiar. The second one I tried something new, so it may have some minor magicka mishaps when you first cast it. Basically, it’ll summon a familiar according to your aura.” Alared explained as he smiled. “Consider the two extra rings as a gift.”
"Thank you Alared." I said curtsying again.
“It was no problem, Evangel. I enjoyed the work.” Alared said with a smile.
"While I was enchanting the ring, the resonances sounded like they were speaking to me, is that normal?" I asked
“Well, considering your magic is different than magicka, it's not surprising it’d act differently to enchantment magic.” Alared explained to me.
"Ok, it's just it was saying the same phrase, pray to us, over and over again it was a little creepy."
“...ok, that..” Alared began as he scratched the top of his head. “I have no clue…” Alared said with a half frown.
"Where is my bow, whip, rapier, and scimitar, and what about the light enchantment?" I asked, noticing that they were nowhere to be found.
“Now those are on the weapon rack behind me.” Alared said as he pointed with a thumb over his shoulder.
"I see all the weapons I asked for but what are the quarterstaffs doing there?" I curiously asked him.
“Those glass quarterstaffs have the light enchantment, I made extras in case someone else needed light. Sorry about getting ahead of your request, I felt inspired.” Alared said with a smile.
"Oh ok, cool. So do I have to do the same with the staves as with the other enchantments?" I asked. Alared nodded to my question. "Ok," I said as I walked over to the quarterstaffs, picked one up and tried to will my magic into it to give it a name but it did nothing. "...that's weird." I said
“...I guess I gotta name it for you.” Alared said as he picked up the staff.
"How about Prometheus? It's the name of a Titan from some legends my adopted father used to tell me when I was at the temple." I said
Alared reaches out to take a spellbook from the nearest bookest, he opens it to the third page, holds the staff aloft and begins whispering something. Both the staff and book glowed softly as continues to murmur the incantation until the name is bound to the spell within. “Done. So now when you hold the staff and speak the words to make it glow to light your surroundings. I used a Grand Soul Gem so it will have plenty of charge, unless you want to use more to strengthen the ratio of the light.” Alared explained to me.
"Ok, so more power means more light but less charge then?"
“Exactly.” Alared said with a satisfied nod.
"So wanna...kiss?" I asked softly with a blush on my face
“I’msorrywhat?” Alared asked out of surprise as he went to clean out his right ear.
Gathering my courage, I raised my voice to normal levels "Do. You. Want. To. Kiss?" I asked again, my blush now reaching down my neck to my shoulders.
The silence was thick, so thick I could cut it like a knife through hot butter. Alared slowly leaning toward me was enough for me. I leaned in and closed my eyes. When our lips met it was just like the first time I had kissed Orgran but better, much much better.

Ch 3 part 7 the ring and an alternate dimension
“He needed help to create the ring so he went to Celebrimbor a master elf craftsmen and a lord he help unknowing of his true plans and when he was done Sauron tried to use his ring to brainwash him but he resisted and took his ring. After a long battle he was defeated and he reclaimed his ring and brought war on to middle earth and a last alliance of man and elves stood against him they defeated him and when they tried to destroy the ring a human king by the name of Isildur took it for himself then that is when he too became a wraith creating the nine nazgul and a group of his loyal followers attacked the black gates were I was stationed along with my wife and son they were all killed including me but something kept him from dying Celebrimbor bound his soul to me so we could take our revenge on Sauron and after many battles and becoming allies with a certain elf they both betrayed me and left me to die but they had killed Isildur and I took his ring and put it on and was slowly corrupted but I held on for decades before falling to the ring.” Talion said.
“Wow, holy $@%# that is some deep s***,” I said.
“Yes it is.” Talion confirmed.
“Hey wait a minute, I thought only I could pull off pronouncing the asterisk!” Orgran said.
“Hey ya Orgry the author wanted you to know you can shove it and to stop breaking the walls of his apartment!” pinkie pops up and said then just disappears leaving a note.
“Oh I know where to shove it alright.” The Dwarf grumbles angrily, picking up the note before reading it aloud. “Dear Everybody, please come to sugarcube corner first chance you get.”
“Does that mean what I think it means?” I asked.
“PAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!” Pentil yells in a strangely deep baritone.
“...okay, now I’m really proud, our daughter’s got some lungs!” Orgran cheered.
“You all get going to sugarcube corners and have fun I’ll see you when you get back,” I said.
“I think this is a baby party, honey,” Orgran said.
“What makes you think that?” I asked
“We just get a letter from Pinkie after a visibly pregnant woman headed to the hospital, that plus pinkie sense means it’s a party for the new twins,” Orgran stated.
“Plus she kind of called it,” I said.
“Exactly, and the twins here would hate to not have you there with them.”
“But I can't walk,” I said.
“Then I shall be your walking bits!” he declared as he picked up the bed I was on.
“Just get me a wheelchair dear.” I pleaded.
“YOU ARE A SERAPHIM! And even more so my girlfriend, you should not lower yourself to a mere wheelchair, you will be carried on a bed like a divine beautiful goddess and like it !”
“Awe dada loves mama!” said a sweet voice that came from Legolas.
“Aw his first words,” I said.
“Ha! Lego talk kiddy!” Pentil laughed, then huffed and pouted as she also had trouble with sentences.
“We should hurry or we will be late and we all know how pinkie is,” Talion said.
“She can’t start without the two guests of honor,” I said as we got outside my Minor Tree Sprite showed up and kneeled then I heard in my head, ‘mistress why did you leave me?’
“I didn't mean to, there was much going on.” I said and I started telling him he events that have transpired.
‘I understand now mistress and I volunteer to be their guardians’ it said in my head.
“Alright! No more mind speaking let’s get on with the foot movement!” Orgran said quickly before rushing out with me, still on the bed.
“Here I have an idea I will just make another skeleton and she can ride on it.” Talion said and he snapped his fingers and a skeleton cheetah appeared.
“I NEED NO HELP! GET THAT SKELEKITTY-WAIT !!” Orgran proceeds to mount the cheetah while still carrying me on the bed. “Onward steed! The cat that can outrun death!”
“Oh nothing can outrun me Orgran.” Talion said.
“Aww, Talion’s adorable, thinking that being the god of death means he’s the grim reaper of his world.” Orgran said, patting him on the head like a dog. then Talion vanished and reappeared on the other side of him and hit him in the back of the head. “Ow! Anyways, you’re the god of it, not the physical manifestation of it, at best you would be able to call on the reaper as one of your servants.”
“I have never called him I thought I was him,” Talion said.
“Oh nah, because the manifestation of death is never the god of death, more a servant… plus if you were, you would bear the Reaper’s scythe, yet you don’t.”
“I guess you're right but let’s get to the party.” Talion said and Anna turned back into a tattoo and went back on his arm
“Right… now where was I?” Orgran asked.
“Onward skelekitty?” I said.
“Right! Run off with unholy speed that should be impossible for a creature with no muscles! AWAAAAAAY!!” And as soon as he said that the cheetah booked it down the street and Talion was the only one able to keep up with the cheetah and the dogs were barely half as fast.
Orgran decides to go ahead and use earthbending shenanigans to carry the dogs along on stone slabs.
After we arrived at the party the gods arrived shortly after us.
“What took you guys?” Orgran asked.
“Took the scenic route.” the five kings intoned simultaneously.
And a whole planet of pans died.
“Let’s just get inside.” Talion said.
“K!” Orgran said as I carried the bed into Sugarcube Corner.
“I also added a little addition to the cheetah.” Talion stated.
“What does it do tricks?” I asked
“No it is linked to me so I can see through his eyes and control him at will so if you need any advice when I am gone or you need help you can talk to me through the cheetah and it has the same power as the dogs but when I am in control I can use all of my powers through him.” Talion said.
“Thank you Talion that will be a big help,” I told him. “Now LETS PARRRRTEEEEEEH” I yelled.
“YAY!” Pentil cheered and claps happily, now having a little dress for some reason while Orgran whistles nonchalantly holding a box of sewing supplies.
“Orgran are you responsible for this?” I asked pointing at the dress with a smile.
“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe?” Orgran answered. “I also may be responsible for the adorable tunic on Legolas.”
“Well thank you I wouldn't want them to not be presentable for their first party now would I?” I said.
“Yeah, didn’t help that they were in no clothing this whole time.”
“True,” I said.
As we entered, the expected “SURPRISE!” rung out through the building, followed by a scream.
Next thing we knew, there was a mountain in the center of the bakery.
“...I can fix that.” Orgran said sheepishly as Pentil giggled at what she did.
“Oh, Pentil not even a day old and already making mountains I'm so proud,” I said.
“Well let’s not just stand around let’s get this started.” Talion said.
“Hey that's my line!” Pinkie Pie said
“Well you were to slow to say it.” Talion said back.
“Touche!” Pinkie said.
“RANDOM SONG TIME! ” Orgran said as he somehow invoked music to emerge.
“Here let me fix your legs real quick” Talion said as he cast a spell on my legs “Ah there’s the problem there was little blood flow in them making them numb they should be good now.” He said and I got up off the cheetah and my legs were fine.
Orgran then pulls me onto the dance floor to dance with him.
Pentil and Legolas were playing with the dogs while the cheetah and tree sprite watched over them Talion was sitting in a chair with Hecale sitting sideways on his lap and resting her head on his chest but was also accidentally showing off her assets making the mares around her jealous and the stallions envious of Talion then Pinkie appear beside him and appeared to be holding a humongous container that was about three times her size and she opened it and pulled out a piece of bacon and Talion held out his hand and Anna lunged out and took it then grew in size and slithered into the massive container then several crunching and rustling sounds then it settled but quiet crunching could be heard from inside the container and when I looked back at Talion he looked a little down.
“what's wrong Talion?” I asked.
“Let's go outside to talk about this.” He said
“ok?” I said and led him outside.
“Well it's just that everything that has gone on it my world is worrying me greatly everytime we have been able to push back the demons but with their recent victory and the loss of the hippogriff city to the demons the survivors and the queen and princess now look to me for protection and my forces as of late have proven not very effective against the that is when I had an idea.” He said
“What's your idea?” I asked.
“trying to mix my undead magic with my dark magic I thought if they could be combined into a soldier it could turn the tides in our favor I tried to do it several times when we were waiting for you to give birth and every time it either collapsed from the two different magic or just vanished they just can't mix every single one of my creations is one or the other they can not mix.” He explained.
It was at that point that Orgran had noticed we were gone and came out. “Hey Tal, I heard the Kings suggested something about Acolytes, but you don’t trust people with your power, seems you both are missing the most obvious way to upgrade your army.”
“And it appears you did not hear everything my powers can not mix let me show you.” Talion said as two ball of magic appeared in each hand in his left was a dark ball of energy while the other was green. “These are dark and undead magic let me show you when they mix.” He said as he began to close the distance between them and sparks of magic started sparking between them it was obusies they were trying to push each other away and when they touched the green ball let out what sounded like the screams of tortured souls and the black one let out screams that sounded like a banshee.
Orgran then stepped forward then smacked the two orbs into orbit with a magic-boosted backhand. “Could you at least listen to my suggestion before you assume I’m gonna say something completely different?”
“And you should let me talk for a moment the reason I am still here is because I am the god of these two elements what would happen if somepony got both of them in their bodies?” Talion asked.
“Again, you’re doing it again, I’m here to tell you that their idea is a stupid one, they keep forgetting that dark gods with official cults and churches create fanatics even when the gods themselves are okay guys. You don’t need Acolytes, you need Icons, high-tier constructs of both Undead Magic, and constructs of Dark Magic. You’d have no need for Necromancers and Shadowmancers if you could use your skills to raise Liches and Dark Generals.”
“I have liches that work 24/7 at making undead and Phantom is my dark general he is made of my dark magic, I have something for you.” Talion said.
“What you have at your base are Cryptkeeper's at best, I’m talking battle-ready war-liches that can direct and combine their magic to turn your undead warriors into giant necrotic constructs directly on the battlefield, and when I mean ‘Dark General’ I refer to a kind of Shade Demon that can turn the shadows of its enemies into loyal warrior duplicates.”
“I do have undead mages at my disposal but I have only used them once let me show you.” Talion said as from the ground an undead emerged. “That’s weird he looks different than before.”
“That’s a war-lich! If you can make more of them, they can act as commanders, relaying orders to a much larger horde, and changing entire battalions into giant war-monsters on a whim to suit the battle at hand, it would give you more freedom to deal with the major threats while they handle the minor ones. A good ruler, and god, knows a command structure is a much better alternative than trying to multitask and direct every soldier, and having more leader types that can summon even more soldiers for the battle, even if the undead are weaker than the demons, you’d win by sheer insane numbers.”
“Changing the undead after they are created is out of the question, every single one of the has armor that is highly resistant to every magic even mine.” Talion explained.
“It’s not predominantly magic, remember what Olthok said about Eidolons? A mass of undead forming together from a single intent, in that case the Lich in charge of them assumes full authority and commands them to have that single intent, forming on their own using the necrotic magic already in their bodies.”
“So they are basically a mass of skeletons formed together and I also said I have something for you?” Talion asked.
“Yep, requires either an overriding will or a lot of extreme teamwork, so what’s the thing anyway, trade my gift for yours?”
“The blueprints for stone, steel, mithril, and gem golems when you learn the basics you will be able to create different kinds if you want and they can create their own metal by absorbing rocks like steel can make steel and so on you might be able to make a arcanite golem if you want,” Talion explained as he pulled a book out of his robes.
“That implies I have any usable Arcanite left.”
“if you give a golem a little it is possible for them to make it even though it will be rare for them to make any different ore or metal they are not made of and I also added a few blueprint of moving armor you can make they make good soldiers or guards.” Talion said.
“Well I guess if I use a gem golem I might be able to get around that issue, since Arcanite is considered a gem in itself, and using a golem with similar enough properties should give me a higher chance… now for your gift.” Orgran said, pulling out a chained metal box that shook and rattled, trying to fly out of his grip towards Talion.
“What is that and should I be worried?” Talion asked.
“The opposite, this is your new weapon, and I decided to do the ‘soul-bond’ part of it early.”
“When did you do that?” He asked Orgran.
“Well, remember how you said Undead and Dark Magic can’t fuse? I kinda found a loophole and harvested all the magic you’ve been ambiently letting off, then forged it into the Mithril. Turns out your power was really fucking strong so the bonding made it partly sentient and it is very angry about being out of your possession technically against your consent. Don’t worry, it won’t be talking or anything but it will be very useful in situations where you can’t get it in your hands… could you tell it to calm down so I can show you it?”
“Your lucky you soul bonded it to me or you would likely be dead well anyway.” Talion said and he put his hand in the box and it settled. “There should be calm for now.”
“The soul bond is what made it smart in the first place.” he opens the case to reveal a shining mithril revolver that shimmered in the light, meticulously carved with depictions of various predatory animals, with Talion’s face on the side of the handle. “I gift to you, ‘Final Predator ’.”
“It looks amazing did you base off the xvr 460 magnum?” Talion asked.
“Well the outer shell yes, but the inner workings make it anything but.” he takes out the pistol and shows Talion from all the angles. “The chambers are filled crystals made from a mix of Dreamfruit juice and Fireruby essence, with the soul link that means if given enough of your magic, upon the strike of the hammer-which I am proud to say is the first ever Mithril-Refined Arcanite alloy-your very will is unleashed from the crystal ‘bullet’, and anything you desire will emerge out of the barrel. I’m not shitting you here, you could literally shoot out an Ursa Major going as fast as an actual bullet out of this.”
“that sounds interesting” Talion said.
“The reason it is possible at all is Dreamfruit, it is not an actual physical plant, but collections of raw dream energy that exist within the Dreamscape, as I said to Eva, Luna taught me the aspects of Dreamwalking, and knowing that objects in the Dreamscape can be pulled into the real world, I essentially pulled objects made out of raw, undirected imagination into reality. I call them Dreamfruit because when in reality they alter their shape to mimic fruit, and can be eaten to taste like any kind of fruit the consumer imagines.”
“And can I change the bullets to something else if I want?” he asked.
“You can’t physically swap out the crystal forms in the chamber, unfortunately, but you can still use your will to fire any kind of ammo with no need to reload, and I’ve set it so it can also use magic in the air if you don’t want to use up your mana for smaller shots.”
“Well I guess my original idea is out the window when Alucard told me it was a gun i had a few ideas for bullets.” Talion said and reached into his robes and pulled out a bullet that glowed green.
“Hmm… gimme a sec.” he turned his back to us and started to pour magic into the weapon, then handed back to Talion with the chamber open. “You can now have Final Predator absorb bullets into the chamber to give it charges for that kind of ammo, added the little aesthetic too that when you use up a bullet charge an ethereal shell flies out of the chamber.”
“And the bullet remains so it can be used again?” Talion asked.
“Yes, but it can’t take multiple charges from the same bullet, you’ll have to wait until you’ve expended that bullet’s charge before you can use it again, though you can get one charge from each individual bullet.”
“Good because I had plans for this bullet, this one is packed full of undead magic so when I fire it I could trigger it to turn them undead whenever I want, but this one is made to create a Eidolon, it will stay inside a dead body until enough dead bodies are around to create one, then it will gather them and attack the enemy.” Talion explained.
“Hmm… with that, the Eidolon would only be able to do one task before it dissolved, but in turn it would never stop until said task is completely… I think if you whispered to the bullet to ‘kill Circe’ you’d just have this unstoppable Eidolon charging to the Goddess of Destruction, it wouldn’t be able to get the job done, but imagine how distracted you’re going to be with a giant, undying reaper-esque skeleton monster constantly running over to stab you and you couldn’t destroy it because it’d just reform and keep trying.”
“I think you did not pay close enough attention to when it was explained it can reassemble itself but if a part is destroyed entirely that is that and it can be captured if done correctly so yes it can be useful but it is not invincible and we do not know all the powers of Circe.” Talion said.
“Talion, we’re talking about an Eidolon fueled by your undead magic, the same kind of undead magic that seems to keep creating corpses out of nowhere?” Orgran said, trying to get wheels to turn.
“And how do we know she just won’t go beerus on it and just destroy it like that like I said we have little intel on her powers.” Talion said again.
“Well an Eidolon is a collection of multiple bodies with a single goal, it’s not considered a singulardoes have the limits of not having any actual magic-based attacks aside from the scythe being covered in necromantic power so it can’t kill a god… but! It’s not meant to kill in this case, even Beerus had to focus on the one body to completely annihilate it, Circe would need to have enough patience to do that with a horde’s worth of skeletons, and by the time she gets to the second one the Eidolon will have replaced the first. Let me finish before you say anything, the big planet destroying abilities still leave debris, and an Eidolon can reform from that, I’m not saying it’s an assassin, it’s a distraction, a delay or a disadvantage during the final battle, it’s just going to keep stabbing her even if it does nothing to her… and in fact even in the final fight you could have it help by suggesting it uses its weight to hold her still so you can kill her. After all an Eidolon doesn’t really care how its task is fulfilled so long as it’s done as quick as possible.”
¨I suppose we will see what they can do in time remember my powers are different then there's my Eidolon might be different just like my grave golem.” Talion said.
“Actually from what I’ve seen in mythology back on Earth, aside from size or shape differences, an Eidolon still bears the same traits, the only time it hasn’t is when you refer to the Warframe Lore involving Sentient Eidolons.”
“let’s get back to the party maybe the Grand master has called the faceless horned god he worships.” Talion suggested.
“WHO DARES TO SUMMON ME, THE FACELESS HORNED GOD. GOD OF ALL TAURS. RULER OF THE WINGED ONES. SLAYER OF THE INFINITE LABYRINTH BEAST. SO WHO DARES.” roared a loud voice.
Orgran decided to head to the voice, and when we arrived after, we heard Orgran yell. “Oh hey FHG! Did ya like my beer?!” to see a 16 foot tall Faceless Minotaur staring down at Bronze Courage.
“Me oh Great One. Grand Master Bronze Courage I come with a petition.”
“HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE YOU DIED AND WENT TO THE OTHER SIDE OVER A THOUSAND YEARS AGO YOU CAN'T BE HERE?”
“That would me or well half of it I brought his soul back to this side but I must explain all that has happened before you pass judgment on anyone,” Talion said as he started explaining the situation from when he first came here then up to now.
“SO YOU’RE TELLING ME ONE OF MY LEGION COMMANDERS IS DEAD AND HE AND HIS WHOLE LEGION WERE CORRUPTED AND THIS MOTHER SERAPHIM FREED THEM WHILE PREGNANT!!!!”
“All but one of them the Seraphim that led them he was too powerful for her to cleanse so I had to deal with him.” Talion said said as he was thrown out of his shadow.
“IMPOSSIBLE A LOWLY SHINIGAMI KILLED SARTORIUS.”
“Hate to burst your bubble but I am not Shinigami I am the god of darkness and death and I will not stand to be insulted.” Talion said and his shadow started to engulf the town.
Then Orgran smacks him on the back of the head. “Ease up edgelord, you realize the dude has no eyes, right? Anyways, your Facelessness, yes that is true, but it helps that Eva was pregnant with Twin Mylinian Demigods who knew how to empower their mother using their soul energy, plus Sartorius had probably lost the fight with the corruption due to possibly how hard he fought against Nightmare while uncorrupted for the sake of his brethren, all that was left was most likely an empty husk. Also you can thank me for helping to bring back Bronze Courage using my skills, oh! Should I take you to see my gods?”
“YES THAT WOULD BE WISE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO THE DARKNESS AND DEATH GOD I MEANT NO INSULT.”
“Good! They’re all directly behind you!” He said cheerfully and the Seraphim was once again engulfed by Talions shadow and Talion rejoined Hecale and he still looked pissed like very pissed.
The Faceless Horned God turned around and upon seeing them frowns then said “OH IT’S YOU FOUR, RINTAE, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.”
“Joyful greetings.” The Dragonkin bows. “Did the judge of our last exhibition regain his sanity long enough to claim a winner?”
“YES, HIS SANITY RETURNED FOR BUT A MOMENT AND SADLY HE CALLED A TIE.”
“Hm, unfortunate, perhaps next time when we call for an unbiased judge, we do not pick a Breezie?”
“WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT AGAIN? OH YEA, YOURS!!!”
The lizardman simply shrugged. “I honestly thought he was made of stronger stuff, at least it was better than the last judge, seriously what made you think the Smooze was a good observer? He seemed more interested in your golden pauldrons than the actual fight.”
“IT SEEMED LIKE THE BEST CHOICE AFTER THE TIMBERWOLF.”
“That was not my idea, I lost a bet with Dranlun, could-could we please forget that? It’s bad enough we let that thing around mares during it’s mating season.”
“OH US, DON’T REMIND ME!!!!”
Meanwhile Dranlun was giggling madly .
“Hmmph, Mischievious imp.” Elnir says snidely, and the Dwarven king responds with a quick heel-shot to the Elven Acorns. “*squeaking* that… was cheap…” *thud*
“YOU CHEEKY DICK-WAFFLE!!!! ” The Faceless Horned God said cheerfully.
“Father is that who I think it is?” I queried pointing at the FHG.
“Yes Eva it is, it's the Faceless Horned God your creator.” Father said.
“Well more like her summoner since it’s like that at FHG’s request, Betsuni pulled her from earth to be this mighty champion or some other bullcrap which is far better than meeting the merchant, buy shit then *fart noise* welcome to Equestria! Hmm… I think I could do better… nah, better not risk sharting myself.”
“Well hello gentleman,” Said something beside the gods, revealed to be Anna right now she was about 20 feet long and had bacon grease all over her.
“Looks like somebody had a good time.” Orgran flatly commented.
“I got my bacon so i'm happy.” Anna said.
“WHAT’S WITH THE SNAKE LARGER THAN I AM TALL?” The FHG asked.
“Well I could change my size if you want.” She said and changed to 12 feet long.
“IMPRESSIVE ABILITY MY YOUNG SNAKE FRIEND!!!!”
“Why thank you by the way my name is Anna.” She said holding out the end of her tail almost like a hand shake which the FHG took and shook.
“FACELESS HORNED GOD AT YOUR SERVICE MILADY.”
“So you are the one that the Grand master said that could help Talion.” She looks over to Talion” Why is he mad?” She asked.
“He’s being bitchy about being called a japanese god of death.” Orgran answered.
“It is obvious he is not a Shinigami and I would know I am technically part of him.”She said.
“LIKE A FAMILIAR?” The FHG asked.
“I guess you could put it like that but how I was born from his pocket dimension, I was born from pure magic, you see what happened is Talion made the pocket dimension from his own magic before he became a god when he first passed through he found the town that was filled with nothing but death the second time he brought his friends and discord and good timing two he managed to save a group of people that survived demons, monsters and undead that were trying to destroy all life on the planet if you want I can take you there and show you the battle.” She said as she touched the floor with the tip of her tail and a door rose from the ground.
“Hm… can I go on an undead smecking spree?” Orgran asked.
“Well there are no more of Talion’s undead in the pocket dimension so I don't see why not? how about you and the gods?” Anna said and looking to me and the other gods.
“We’re in.” the five kings stated, Olthok strangely being the most enthusiastic.
“These undead we heard of are cruel and ruthless, having no care for the balance of life and death! If their souls are so envious of the living, then they shall not live either!” The Undead King Declared.
By the time he finished however, Orgran had already charged through the door.
“I can't leave the babies, ” I said.
“I WILL STAY WITH THE SERAPHIM MOTHER, ” The FHG said.
“Didn't Talion yell you the time difference between dimension this one 60 times slower than this dimension.” Anna said.
Suddenly Orgran rushed back into our world again, adorned in an entire battlefield graveyard’s worth of bone gear, roaring into the sky with clear joy on his face. “That was so much FUN! There was like, this dark bleeding well that was just making endless hordes of undead monsters, I think it was made by some asshole necromancer that went mad? Not sure, but I made it so they can’t get out of that pit and so it’s just free reign to bash skulls in! It was awesome!”
“How long do you think you were gone?” Anna asked.
Orgran shrugged. “Dunno, couple of months in there I guess? Couple of minutes out here?”
“Well I guess you can't really tell time if there is no sun I guess.” anna said.
“Oh it does have a sun.” Orgran then pulled out a large spherical diamond, that looked grey as stone. “But I think it’s broken.”
“That is not a sun I have been around that around since it was created there has never been a sun I guess i will have to look at that.” Anna said as she snatched the diamond to get a good look at it.
“Really? Because its aura looks like Equestria’s sun, I guess the pocket dimension tried to make one but didn’t have the right pieces with all the death and darkness and no existence of light.”
“And where did you find that well?” She asked.
“Funnily enough, it was this sort of inverted temple built in the ground at the northern pole of the world, I didn’t get a good enough look because the weird upside down gravity made me a bit unnerved and I sensed that something was watching me in there, like something truly evil , so I just NOPED out of there.”
“Well let's get back to what we were doing before let me show you all the battle I already know what that is.” Anna said.
“So what is it?” I asked
“I guess you could call it the beginning of that dimension where dark and undead magic are strongest in the world but do you want do go or stay.“ Anna said
“I don't want to leave the babies alone and I also want know the story of the battle but I don't want to expose them to trans-dimensional travel just yet, ” i said confidently.
“That is fine I guess Orgran and the other gods can tell you when we return.” Anna said.
“I WILL STAY HERE WITH HER AND THE CHILDREN,” The FHG said.
“That is fine too” She said.
“OH!” Orgran pulled out a blue gem… then slammed it into a slot on his chest. “Recording gem, a gift from Twilight.”
“Well now you can record it for eva to watch later.” Anna said and she, Orgran, and the other five gods went through the door and it slammed shut.
POV change Anna
The door shut behind us as we walked through or in my case slithered.”Over there is the door to Talions equestria but only he and I can open it.” I said as I pointed the tip of my tail to the door that was a few dozen feet away from the one we came through and we look around the land to see a wasteland where nothing can grow.
“Interesting… though we will thankfully have our own methods to arrive and assist you.” Rintae stated.
“Ok now let's move to the battle field.” I said with excitement.
We walked forward and spotted the town that Talion found when he first went through then moved onto the battlefield it was filled with the dead bodies of the demons and monsters that fought Talions army. “Here we are the sight of the battle field and the place I was born.” I said.
“So… how are you going to show us the battle? Are you gonna use time or memory shenanigans?” Orgran asked.
“it will appear very real but it will be a memory I am basically the history book of this world i know everything that ever was or is in this world.” I said with pride and I tapped the ground with the tip of my tail, dirt and sand started to swirl around us then it settled and all of the corpses were gone and we could hear screaming in the distance.
“Who are those screams?” Elnir asked?
“The Ponies that were running from the monsters.” I said then there were sounds of marching and the ponies came into view they were heavily wounded and there were few warriors among them but even they were wounded and weak. “That's them they were running from the demons before Talion found them” I said and far away you could see the monsters in the front were demons that walked on all fours and their front limbs were shields then there were skelton like monster made of wood a plant like monster that looked like it grew from a skeleton then figures wearing mask and wielded axes then there was their leader and the body guards and there were many skeletons but they wielded chipped weapons.
“Do you have any names for them?”
“No not really didn't have the time to do that” I told who ever talked.
“Not even the goat one?” The person said again, this time having me recognize it as Orgran.
“What goat one?” I asked in confusion.
“The giant goat-skulled one walking behind them all, he’s got a bunch of screaming ponies strapped on him like trophies.” The Dwarf then pointed to… thin air, with enough confidence in his words and stance to show that was what he genuinely saw.
“I don't see anything do any of you?” I asked the gods, who shook their heads.
“I’m not crazy! There is a giant goat-skulled undead giant right there! It’s got that same stupid grin like that painting of it back in the temple!”
This was getting out of hand “If there is someone there reveal yourself.” I said and the ground began to shake with my power returning, with me back on this world I am gaining more power.
Then the ground shook again, surprisingly causing me to stumble as words were spoken and yet not. “I do not hide, I merely care not for the demands of lessers, the Dwarf cheats by having seen my visage once before. ”
'Talion can you hear me?’ I said telepathically.
“Yes, what is wrong?” He asked.
'We are in a bit of trouble here we are facing someone we can not see except Orgran we need your help.’ I said.
“Yes, come Talion, Gravewalker, ‘God’, come to know what you have wrought. ” the voice again, somehow transmitting his own voice for Talion to hear.
I could feel Talions return to this world and he was not holding back his power and I could feel the distress of the world and was giving him power.
“I think you’ve had ENOUGH! ” A wave slammed into us, and while Talion seemed unhurt and not weakened, it was clear he was not getting stronger.
“I can see you.” Talion said in all three of his voices.
“I would be disappointed if you couldn’t, you know who I am, what I am, don’t you? Even if you don’t realize it, some part of you knows the truth of me. ”
“You are my corruption.” Talion said, yet it was impossible, he was immune.
The creature chuckled as slowly shadows began to rise up on the ground in front of Talion. “Yes, you and your allies, and even your enemy has always been childishly naive about what kept you sane. ‘It’s merely immunity’ ‘he’s a god, the power bends to him’, corruption is much more than simple power-hunger or some primitive curse. ” the more he spoke, the more a shape began to form within those shadows. “Corruption is a very real, physical, thinking thing, and you have been shoving it off to this plain for a long, long time instead of letting it take hold, and so without a host it used what it could to make a body itself, I awoke in your personal trash can of a reality and decided to put it to good use, but I never forgot. I am still a piece of you, one you deny yet it will always get stronger with you, always at your side and always at your level. ”
With a burst of energy, the figure finally emerged in all his glory, we could see him, him and the screaming trophies of pony souls as he cackled madly. “So now I say to you! Welcome home brother, how do you like my decorating?! ”
“...” Talion said nothing as he snapped his fingers and the souls vanished..
“Predictable, no matter, in this land the souls will have only one place to go… a shame you had to turn my trophies into more soldiers… and after all those gifts I gave you, didn’t you like not having to look for all those corpses yourself? ” it asked, causing Orgran and the kings to be shocked as one part of Talion’s powers was explained.
“They were made from pure magic.” Talion said.
“Oh please, you’re smarter than that Talion, Necromancy is like Alchemy, there needs something there to work with, though I can’t say you’re completely wrong, all the creatures that roamed this dark land were born of your very power, I just did all the hard work in making sure they couldn’t roam anymore. ”
“You’re a monster they were innocent.” Talion said.
“And you believe yourself to be the ‘good’ one in this encounter? I am born of corruption you refused to bear, I am what you should’ve been, and at least Equestria would have been better for it. A loving husband that you left vulnerable to be gripped by Paranoia and fear! I didn’t even need to do much because your cold dead words sealed his fate, yet another life ruined because you pushed me out of your body, only then you didn’t have your pesky pocket dimension to trap me in. ”
“If I had kept you Equestria would be a wasteland by now and everyone dead.” he said.
“Petty excuses, I would’ve let the stallion die in the arms of the mare he loved so purely, not disgraced him and caught the princess on the rebound like she were a common whore! ”
“Shining brought his death on himself and cadence loves me he killed many and do you think he really loved cadence!” Talion yelled.
“I do not think, I was there in his mind! The irony is I grew his paranoia by telling him that you would take Cadence away, funny how you made sure I was no liar… but let’s get on to a tastier subject… do you truly think Cadence loves you? A mare just so easily falling for a man whom killed the Stallion she had Loved first? I do not think a mare like the Princess of Love herself would be that easy to love again. ”
“Do not think you can trick me, I have seen how corruption whispers into one's mind and make them weak and desperate your words mean nothing.” Talion said as he drew his sword and stabbed the ground and it was now a battle for dominance over this dimension.
“A fair deduction… ” the Creature, Orgran suggested calling it ‘Noilat’, stabbed its bone claws into the ground to fight back. “If I desired to take over your body, but no, I find that end-goal to be pointless, I have my own body now, why would I waste my time and effort trying to take yours? To take your world? I have my own to do with as I please! ”
Talion used his speed and punch him in the face sending him flying.
Noilat crashed, yet immediately recovered, shrugging off the blow like it was nothing. “My words may sting, but with your head in the clouds and your other head taking over your thinking, I think it’d be family that should rein you in and have you consider the rational instead of emotional. I know for certain that Tempest doesn’t love you like you believe. ”
“Your words are nothing but lies.” Talion said.
“Oh wake up, Brother, do you not remember what you did, the first thing you did once you had her in your custody? You branded her Talion, the mark isn’t there but it’s damn well obvious! ”
“Even with the brand you still have free will to choose and I never ordered her to love me.” Talion said.
“But not your true will, think back to the game, the Uruks became unusually chummy, didn’t they? The moment you stuck your hand on their face and turned them they were completely alright with you, rather friendly even, despite having the raw urge to kill you moments ago. If they were still themselves they would at least be a bit more begrudging about serving you, but they’re alright with you. And now an assassin that cared only about pay is suddenly nice after a little mindrape and you think her love was not influenced? ”
Talion pulled out the gun “You know what this is right and what it can do shoot anything I want.” Talion said.
“Alright then, God of Death and Darkness, go ahead and shoot me, shoot me and kill me so all my corruptive essence is free to rush back into the body it was supposed to be in all at once! I double-dare you Talion! Kill me and doom yourself! ”
“Oh trust me your corruption won't be going anywhere.” Talion said.
“You really don’t get it, do you? I am all of your corruption, all the corruption you’ve pushed away, and all of the corruption that you keep producing, without me you will stumble and fall to it and you’ll be what you were trying to stop… or keep pushing it off, and then I’ll just reform and come back. ” the creature loomed over… then sighed? “You can’t truly kill me, and I don’t want to kill you, you have your world, and this is mine. I am content, happy even, to stay in this place for eternity and not bother anyone who visits… but if you wish to see me as some evil bad guy you can simply kill with no consequence, I will not be silent.”
“You have tried to lie and trick me this entire conversation and I have a way to kill you without consequence want to hear it?“ Talion asked.
“Alright Brother, what is it?”
“What is corruptions opposite? It’s only true enemy is purity, what would happen if they meet? No answer they would tear each other apart if I fire purity at you with the same amount of corruption both would evaporate and after that I will destroy this pocket dimension.“ He said as he pointed the gun.
“You… you truly are stupid, you cannot see that I am literally a piece of you! I should just make it more obvious! ” Suddenly the creature pulled on something, revealing a sort of ethereal chain connecting the two, with black inky spirits draining from Talion, going down the chain, straight to the Corruption. “THIS IS WHAT WE ARE! You and I are linked, I am what stops the corruption from tainting you, and you think when you kill me you’ll actually be immune? Grow up! This is not some childish story where you kill the monster and the hero lives happily ever after! If you even consider pulling that trigger, I will forget this arrangement, slide back down the chain and then I will MAKE YOU WATCH AS I JACK THE RIPPER ALL YOUR LOVERS! I’ve had it with your self-righteous bullshit! ”
Talion then points the gun to the chains and pulled back the hammer on the gun.
To be continued...
