An Amulets Fate
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSo, where did we leave our story, oh yeah I remember now. Our two ponies, Cursed Fate and Shadow pro, were chasing down Bean towards the ever-free forest where he was leading them back towards Shadows' home or hut should it be called. The two followed him into the building as they were suddenly meet with a bucket of water falling upon their heads,
"Really, a bucket of water, that is the most basic of pranks Bean," Shadow tells her creation as she goes towards a separate room to retrieve a couple of towels to clean both her and Cursed. "here, have this," she throws Cursed the towel with her wing as she turns towards Bean, who was flying over the cauldron in the centre of the room (I should point out that Shadow designed her home based on Zecoras' hut, to help visualise it),
"Now I need you to pass Cursed the Amulet, why do you want it anyway?" She turns towards Cursed as he throws his towel to the side before giving her a look which made her fur stand up on end,
"Because the Alicorn Amulet is a family heirloom that we have been searching for generations." The two ponies seemed confused with this as Bean lands in front of him asking,
"But how was it lost in the first place and how is this thing your family heirloom?"
"If I tell you two about what this thing is will you promise me never to tell anypony else about this?"
They both looked at each other before replying in time with each other, “we promise." Upon saying this Bean teleported in the table which both Shadow and Cursed were at when at Bloodmoons' party, with his party cake included with it, "I'm guessing they moved it to our table, oh well free cake for us!" As Bean say this he diggings his face into the cake, making shadow slide away from him before turning towards Cursed,
"So then, what's the story behind this thing?" She grabs the amulet from Bean while he distracted and placed it onto the table using one of her bat wings.
"This is a long-ish story so it's a good thing we have... scratch that, had some food," Bean looks up towards Cursed, his face covered with icing before licking it all away, "So where should I began, it all started in the crystal empire, while King Sombra was in control. He had been leading a war against Celestia and Lunas armies when he had realised that there was no-pony keeping an eye over his empire. Because of this he had decided to enlist a commander to over-see his armies and lead them too. This pony was known as Emerald Fate who was one of his most loyal and powerful unicorns."
Cursed looks towards the Amulet, his fur beginning to stand up on his skin before returning to his story, "Due to his power and loyalty, Sombra had decided to create an Amulet for him to increase his power and make him unstable to his foes. This was known as the Alicorn Amulet and when it was bestowed upon him his powers become greatly enhanced and he started to feel unstoppable. During one of his battles, his opponent had questioned him that if he has all that power, why has he not overthrown Sombra. Emerald ignored his opposition but the question had started to infect him mind. Over time he started to become more and more disloyal to his king before one day storming into his throne room to confront him."
Upon saying this the amulet had begun to glow an ominousness red before Shadow interrupts, "I'm guessing it can hear use, should we carry on or stop the story?" she turns towards Fate who was beginning to draw closer to the Amulet before Shadow interrupts again, "CURSED!" He snaps out of his trance before turning back towards the two ponies, Shadow looking as if she was concerned for him while Bean had his head rested onto the table, he looked either board or was regretting he ate the whole cake.
"Oh yeah, so when Emerald and Sombra meet up, he had declared that he would end his reign and so on. They both fought but he was defeated and became trapped within the Amulet. The reason why I know all this is because of Diamond Fate. She was one of Sombras personal bodyguards and was the wife and mother of Emerald and his children. After the fight happened Sombra went to deal with Celestia and Luna who had personal come to deal with him. During this, Diamond went to pick up the Amulet and fearing that Sombra would punish both her and her children, she had taken them and herself outside of the empire which protected her from when it become banished. with no-where to go, she went to where Celestia and Luna had landed after witnessing themselves what happened to the empire and had asked them of their help to free her husband. The two were hesitate at first but agreed in the end. So that's the story behind it."
Both Shadow and Bean looked at each other before Shadow asks, "Ok but why isn't this part of history, and did your family lose it in the first place?"
"Well that's simple, while they were over in Canterlot having Star swirl the bearded help them with their task of releasing Emerald, the castle was hit by thieves and the Amulet was stolen. Afraid of what may happen if someone was to get the Amulet and use its powers for evil, my ancestors had decided to destroy all evidence of the amulets connection to our family and this was only to be passed down with our family itself. Each member of the family was to be tasked to find it and then try to discover a way to release Emerald. We were also told never to wear it as it too dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Bean jumps up out of his seat and onto the table saying, "So no-one in your family had decided to try it on, not even once?"
"No, not even once. Now can you get down before you break the... WHAT THE TARTARUS!" Cursed looks towards the amulet which had begun to rise into the air, it still glowing its red colour but more intensely as Bean flies backwards away from it. The Amulet suddenly stops its actions and lands back onto the table, becoming dormant again.
"Now I know that this sounds like a bad idea, but I think you should were it Cursed, maybe it might tells us why that just happened" Shadow looks towards Cursed, noticing that he was thinking the same thing.
"If you think I should then I just might," Cursed leans over the table and moves the amulet towards himself before using his magic to lift it off the table and towards his neck, "well, here goes nothing." He puts the Amulet around his neck as everypony jumps back, thinking something would happen but instead there was just silence.
Cursed looks towards the other two, both of them looking as confused as he was before stating, "Well then, nothing happened..." Before he could finish his sentence his eyes suddenly flashed a bright white as he slowly lifted into the air while a Bubble of red magic which couldn't be seen though was forming around Cursed.
"Bean, can you use your magic to help him?!" Shadow asks Bean as he began the fire at it using his own magic but it came to no effect as Cursed was fully surrounded by the bubble before it had shrunk into the Amulet. Shadow and Bean looked at each other and then the amulet, unsure on what to do after witnessing their friend be transported into the Amulet with no knowledge of if he was to be ok or if he was doomed forever.
