The Darkness of Old
Chapter 1: The start of Something
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI awoke with a start, my 'eyes' seeing nothing but blurry shapes. "Joe? Sarah? Ken? Cas? Anybody?" I called out
"Well look who woke up...welcome back to the land of the living, kinda." Cas said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Give the blur a few moments to clear, and let me be the first to welcome you to Equestria!"
"...Equestria?" I ask hesitently
"Yep" Sarah says, startling me a bit
"Joe."
"Yup."
"Year?"
"2000 years before harmony, 1000 before Chaos. We kinda rule this area." I heard Joe say
"Which Nazgul are we?"
"The Shadow of War versions I believe." Danny said
Upon hearing that, my vision returns to me. "Yeah...the originals didn't have these in the movies." I say, gesturing to the metal masks/face-plate things on my eight friends. Looking at them I can tell Cas and Sarah did not lose their more feminine forms, and looked like the two sister Nazguls from the Galadreil DLC. Joe and Fred had Greatswords, Felix had a Hammer, Cas and Sarah had those Chain Scythe things, I had a Longsword, Sam had a Bow, Danny had a Spear, and Greg had a quarterstaff. "Final question...where are we?"
"Minas Morgul." Greg said
"Really? You serious?" Cas asked
"I decided to screw waiting and took a peek. We are in Minas Morgul, no Orcs or Gondorians. It's just...empty." He said, Shuddering.
"We could recreate orcs, use them as citizens" Joe said, noticing everyone staring at him he added "They weren't bad to begin with, Sauron just twisted them into what they were."
"Even if we wanted to, how would we do it? We don't exactly have a Biolab to preform this shite." I said
"Simple. We combine our Magic into one beam, think about what we want it to form, and presto...at least thats how it should work in theory" Joe said "Unless you want to maintain the City?"
"What theory ?"
"We displaced each other, which means if we say we can do it...we can do it. I think...that's the gist of what I got from reading the book."
We all looked around at each other in disbelief...I think...hard to tell with the masks. However I know that most of us were still willing to put in the extra mile...that was until Joe added "Giant spiders and insects may be a thing during this time."
"One Orcish Adam and Eve coming up." Cas said, getting up almost immediately
"Yeah I'm with her on this...I would rather not be giant maggot food." Greg said
"...Agreed." Sarah said
"While I like Spiders and the Like, I think I shall change my vote to pro-orc."
"Yeah, fuck spiders." Danny said.
500 years later
"Sir, an Olog by the name of Ar-Janek is here to see you." an Uruk said
"Well send him in, if he's here then something is amiss."
"Right away boss." He says, opening the door to show an Olog with what looked like a metal beard.
"Ar-Janek, It is good to see you friend. How goes your settlement?" I ask
"Pretty good if I do say so myself, we could use more of a guard force though. The Manticores are getting a bit ballsy." He replied
"I'll send Danny with some Ologs immediately, do you need anything else old friend?" I ask
"Nah boss, I have everything else handled." He said with a grin
"Well then, good day." I said, returning to my work.
"JASON, WE NEED YOU IN THE MAIN HALL NOW!" I heard Joe yell
Snap I teleport, seeing the other eight I ask "What is it...what happend?"
"Draconaquuai, a ton of them, are heading this way. Guards from the outlying settlements say they look injured." Danny said
"Well then...Joe, get the healers. Sarah and Cas, get some Food, Water, whatever we can spare. Danny, Greg, and Fred, you need to make sure whatever attacked them isn't following. If it is, push them back or relive them of their lives. Felix, Sam, you're with me...we need to keep the streets clear." I said "Now go, we have a species to save."
