Knocking on Death's Door
What does Celestia think?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"That's a good one, but who are you really?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"It's seems you are quick to not believe me, but the others don't seem so sure..." Death points to the rest of the mane six. They all had shocked faces, except Pinkie, because she is a crazy bit- umm, female pony, not dog. "They all don't seem as hesitant to accept the truth as you are, except Pinkie." What a weird ass pony...
"Well, if you are 'Death' as you say, then shouldn't you have powers?"
"Of course," then Death grabbed a flower from the patch of grass around him. The flower began to deteriorate, until all that was left were ashes. Rainbow looked baffled, then she smirked.
"Your a unicorn, you could have used magic!"
"Is this magic?" Death stomps his hoof on the ground, and everything started to die, slowly moving out from his hoof. The mane six backed away, afraid of what would happen if they touched the growing circle of Death. The ponies started screaming, then ran back to Ponyville. "That did not go as expected."
"And what did you expect, my lord?" A voice came from a dark part of some trees nearby. Death looked and saw an outline of a pony.
"Who are you young one?"
"I am but one of many followers. We wish to welcome you to Equestria." As the pony emerged, Death noticed that unlike a normal alicorn, this one had two horns, making him seem like a bull. He looked like a black and red zebra with wings, horns, and a cape.
"Hmm, do all my followers wear such stylish capes like you?" Death said with a chuckle.
The pony just shook his head, his mane waving everywhere. "I happen to like these garments, but if you do not like them my lord, I can easily change them."
"No, they are fine, just um, stop calling me 'my lord'. Makes me feel like a dictator, not that I haven't ever been one, mind you. It's just I feel the need to be like a regular pony." The pony stared at me like I was crazy.
"You seem to have the powers of Death, but you do not act like him."
"You try being alone for one thousand years." Death gave a sad look the the pony, then began to walk away. As Death started walking away, the pony seem flustered, then ran at Death.
"You must come with me! We must meet the others of the group. We can finally celebrate your arrival!" The pony kept trying to convince Death to join him.
"Look, I can see that you are a good pony, but you need to stop worshiping what shouldn't be worshiped. Death is a bad thing."
"But you also bring life! You can kill and create! That is why we few call you the Creator!" The pony said each sentence with a cheering voice.
"I have never been called that, even thought it is technically true. I must ask you, though, to not tell the other group member of my existence. I am trying to hide from Celestia as is, but the more people know the worse."
"Of course, then perhaps you would stay with me, after all, that Twilight pony doesn't seem likely to let you stay with her anymore."
"Have you been stalking me young one? If you have, you have hidden your presence well."
"Yes. Everyone in our group has learned the techniques you used to sneak around Equestria."
"Well, let us be off."
A scene change because I am lazy
"Welcome, to my humble abode. It is a great honor to have you in my home." The pony was excited, acting like a filly with presents.
"Perhaps we can become 'buddies' as ponies now days say. Perhaps you could assist me in finding out what happened to my wife." Death said the last part with a hint of sadness in his voice. "What is your name?"
"My name is Grim, but the people of our group call me Necro." Grim looked slightly taken back that an all powerful immortal would interest itself in his name.
"Hmm, seems fit to be one of my worshipers. Haha." Death laughed, and it seemed genuine. "Well, may I ask, why are you called Necro?"
"You may. I am called Necro because I am skilled in the art of necromancy. Most of the members of our group can do a little necromancy, but I have a skill in it, I even have a cutie mark to represent it." Necro's cutie mark was a skull with two scythes crossed behind it, and a necromancy book in the front. "I earned it when I found a scythe in the woods." Necro led Death to a back room of his house, and grabbed a long scythe. He handed (like another author said, "Hoofed?") the scythe to Death, who took it in his magic, the looked it over.
"I know this scythe. It was the first one I ever used. It was from my predecessor."
"Would you like it back? I can't keep it knowing you wanted something that belonged to him."
"No thank you friend, I am happy to see it is in deathly hooves."
"Friend?"
"Well, unless ponies go to strangers houses and talk in the early evening, then yes, we are friends." Necro started jumping around laughing. Suddenly, a loud knock was heard at the door. Necro somehow paused mid air, floating, then got down and went to the door. When he opened it, a dark stallion wearing a hooded cloak, and a necklace with a scythe on it, walked into the room.
"What are you doing here?" The stallion looked around, and upon seeing, whispered something into Necro's ear. "No, it is perfectly fine to speak here, this fine stallion is a new member to our group." As Necro said that, he winked at Death. Death gave a small smile. "So what do you have to say?"
"Princess Celestia is coming here to Ponyville. We need to hide everything. We suspect she might know of our presence." Necro was surprised at this, at least, until Death use telepathy and communicated with him. 'She does not know of your presence. You are safe Me, on the otherhand, I have to hide, she was probably told by her protege, that Twilight Sparkle.'
'Are you going to take revenge on her?' Necro was suddenly worried that they were wasting time, but it seemed as though no time had passed since the link.
'No, her time will come, and when she does, she will be at my mercy. Until then, she can live the life she wants. Now, leave while I deal with my sister-in-law.'
'What do you mean?'
'Nothing, just go hide, there will be a mess.'
'I will not leave you. After all, you are my friend.' Death nodded then cut off the telepathic link.
"Friend, you will not have to worry. My friend here is very powerful, and he must have a word with her. Apparently he caused a disturbance with Twilight, so he will be speaking with her." The stallion gave sigh of relief.
The stallion spoke, looking at the Death. "Who is he anyway, you haven't told me his name."
"My name is Chrono. As for who I am, I think you all will be happy to hear who I am. Now, I am off to go threaten a princess."
The two other stallions looked at him like he was crazy. "No one can stand up to the Princess and live!"
"I have before, and I will again. Necro, if you are coming, follow me."
The unnamed stallion looked at Necro. "You seriously can't be thinking about helping this nut job."
"I will help him, that's what friends do."
Twilight | About 1 hour after the picnic
"Ooooh, where is Spike, I need to send a letter to the princess. Oh, I could just write it, then have him send it when he arrives." Twilight began to write. She wrote and kept scribbling out words, because of how scared she was of the situation.
"TWILIGHT I'M BACK!"
"SPIKE!" Twilight came running down from her bedroom, "I need you to send this to the princess right now!"
"Jeez Twilight, what's the hurry?"
"The new stallion is dangerous! He stomped his hoof, and everything around him started to die! He called himself Death." Twilight had a frightened look, and she kept looking around, expecting to see Death standing there. Spike just sighs, then sends the letter to Princess Celestia. Twilight locked all the doors to the library, and then she started to pace around the room.
"Twilight, maybe you are overreacting. May-BURP!" A letter flew out of Spikes mouth.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I know who you are speaking of he was a good friend of mine many years ago. He was perhaps the strongest unicorn to ever live, and after a short while, he turned himself into an alicorn. He and Luna were married, but shortly after, Luna turned into Nightmare Moon. Chrono died fighting her, making her weaken so I could use the elements. He never knew that she was Luna. I locked him away into his realm, and he shouldn't have been able to come here. Stay away from him at all costs. He is very dangerous. Do not try and convince him. He is the oldest being to ever exist. He himself might not, but as Death, he gets reincarnated into whatever he wants, whenever. He knows every ponies weakness. He is never surprised. Keep your distance. One touch and he could kill you. I will be arriving to Ponyville soon. Tell your friends to avoid him before he unleashes his fury.
Sincerely,
-Princess Celestia.
