Overmare

Luna felt her skeletal form materialize onto the dark grass coated ground within the combat arena. Her gilded robes brushed against her hooves as she surveyed the grounds. Two Guardians, a pair of twins, had been selected to be the tamers and trainers of the various beasts that were penned in the caverns and cells beneath the arena. They also acted as excellent massouses when the occasion called.

Luna looked around the arena, her crimson eyes flickering as she took in the familiar grounds. “Aloe, Lotus? Where are you?” She called out, her voice echoing across the grounds.

“C-coming milady!” A warm, Prench-accented voice called out from an unseen position. Leaping from behind a parapet came a light blue mare dressed in a red brocade, and a light pink skirt. Her left eye was the color of warm chocolate, which didn’t match her chartreuse right eye. Not long after a mare with a pink coat and dressed similarity, except instead of a skirt she wore a pair of green tights. Her eyes were the opposite of her twin. Both bowed before the skeletal mare before them.

“Ah, Aloe, Lotus, timely as ever, hmm?” Luna chuckled. “You may rise.” The two did so, averting their eyes out of respect. “Have you two been doing well?” She asked, the fire that acted as her eyes now, rather than the intimidating crimson they normally were, now resembled the crackling fires of a hearth on a cold winter’s night, warm and inviting.

“A-um, yes Lady Lunafreya, we’re doing just fine, thank-” As Aloe was about to finish her statement, the skirted mare’s stomach let out a gurgle that would rival a manticore's roar, or put one to shame. Aloe let out a squeak, her cheeks a fiery red. “E-excuse my stomach milady, I-” she was cut off as Luna raised a hoof.

“Haven't eaten at all today, am I right?” Luna asked, glad of her empathetic skills, both from her life as a ruler, and her character's skills. As she thought back to her time before she had been sent here to this world, her mind began to wander on how she even arrived here. However, another gut gurgle from Aloe snapped her out of it. There would be time to think of that later, in private. “Hmm,” she raised a hoof, as a small, swirling red and black void appeared. She reached in, and pulled out a small platter of piping hot cinnamon rolls with warm frosting, moving them from her hoof into her telepathic grasp, “Here.” She held it out to the two. As the duo looked at the treats with hesitance, Luna gave them a small smile. “Go on. How are you two meant to fulfill your duties on an empty stomach?” With that, the two began to eagerly eat their fill.

Luna took a step back, “Well, it seems as if my portal spells still work in, wherever we are.” She thought aloud, before a smirk came to her. “Now, you two, have you ever seen an elemental before?”

It was Lotus that spoke up, wiping the crumbs and frosting from her face. “Only the wild ones, Lady Lunafreya.”

Luna nodded, “Then this shall be a good opportunity then.” She raised her right foreleg, the a coiled, jewel-encrusted band closest to her hoof. The center gem began to glow a vibrant sanguine. “Summon Leshy.”

A forest green glyph appeared a few feet away from Luna, as a tree like being, much like a Timberwolf but bipedal and bulkier, appeared. It's body was like thick bark. Two, wing-like protrusions made of bone grew from the top half of it's back, and twin curled horns were on either side of it's forehead. An orb filled with Amber sap acted as it's core, it's eyes matching the color of molasses. The Leshy was as tall as Luna was, if not a bit taller. It breathed slowly, awaiting it's orders.

“Amazing!” Aloe said, her eyes gazing upon the floric creature. “I've never seen a Leshy this big before.” She prodded it, thankful it didn't react.

“They normally don't get this big unless they're quite ancient.” Luna said, dispelling the beast. “Ah, Alucard will be by shortly to have you all meet in the throne room.” She nodded, and vanished back to her
Throne.

About an hour after Luna had visited the twins, Alucard returned, fixing his coat, alongside the others. “Was there some sort of trouble Alucard?” She asked the pale stallion.

Alucard bowed, “None whatsoever, my lady.” He said, smirking a bit. “Just some pesky fauna decided to interrupt my moonlit walk.”

Luna chuckled, “Of course. Now, as I'm sure all of you are aware, the Grand Keep of Yahar'Gul has been transported away from Megido. I have no clue as to how or whether other players from Megido are here, and if they are, what their intentions may be.”

Moon Dancer bowed, “My lady, I have an idea.” Luna nodded at her. “In Megido, players, especially strong ones, tended to gravitate towards Legendary or God Eater-tier enemies, in the hopes of attaining, as your sister PraiseTheSunbutt and yourself would call it, epic loot, and experience, perhaps becoming the ruler of this New World, as it befits a Supreme Being such as yourself to rule over the weak, might attract attention, perhaps even from the other Supreme Beings if they yet live.”

Luna rubbed her chin. In Megido it WAS possible for a skilled player, and their guild if they were a part of one, to be crowned Holy (,or Unholy if need be) Amestrian Emperor/Empress, granting them near admin level power, and they could only be dethroned in a duel, or of they were banned due to breaking the code of conduct. Luna herself had held the title a few times, and if it meant reuniting with Celestia, Twilight, and the others, she'd take it. “You speak wisely, as befits my strategist, Moon Dancer.”
“Thank you for the praise, my lady.” The brown and purple haired mare bowed her head.

“My dear lady,” Tasogare spoke up, as Luna inclined her head towards her. “There is a nearby town under siege by bandits or mercenaries. If we wait until few survivors remain, the rest will be indebted for our aid, and will surely swear fealty to you.”

Luna stood up, “Excellent Tasogare,” said mare blushed, shifting. “However, the more survivors there are, the more subject's i'll have, don't you agree?” A chorus of “Yes” filled the room. “However, I'm unsure how they'll take an undead saving them. If it's anything like Megido, then at best they'll distrust me. That is something I cannot allow. Tasogare, armor up.” Tasogare bowed, and left to change.

“Now then,” Luna’s attire vanished in a burst of azure fire, replaced by a set of robed ornate armor and helmet in a hybrid Ancient Roaman/Neighponese style, her face concealed by a combined Galea and kubuto, all Ebony with gold trim, a flowing ermine cape trailing across her back. A katana rested by her side. Tasogare soon returned, adorned in black plate mail, and wielding a Glaive. “Let's go save a village.”
