The Summoner: Prologue

(Part 4)

Later that night AppleJack invited me and my man and killer to stay at the farm. I accepted and we went off for the night. Green Flame decided to stay the night at twilight something about a girls night.

There are still a few ponies missing due to the rates of the diamond dogs. Tomorrow we're going to be hunting the hunters. But looking at my man I feel like that not all of us are coming back. But they know the rest and I'm proud they're taking them.

When we reached the farm house applejack let us into the barn. My men were exhausted and hungry so Applejack brought us some food.

As a restaurant in the hay I noticed 90% of the men are asleep. Most of them took off the armrest and weapons summer being cautious.

I close my eyes and rest for the night.

(Time skip)

As I walk from slumber I heard the singing of birds. I set up noticing my arm I was a little dusty. I quickly clean up noticing that I slept in. In fact most of my men have slipped in too. I couldn't really blame them, from walking to instantly fighting to asking questions could really exhausted without any food for the whole day.

I noticed Lee was awake and Gone.

I walked outside and was seeing he was helping out with the Apple family by doing the chores and hitting some trees. I decided to help out to.

“Hey AJ!” I shouted as I walked up to Applejack.

“Howdy Al-” Apple jacks start noticing I gave her a nickname.

“Did you call me AJ?” She said confused.

“Oh if you do not like it I will not call you it again” I said with a sheepish smile.

“No, no it's fine... it's just... that... oh nevermind” Applejack said that's her face turned red.

“Applejack are you alright your face is going red” I said concern while putting my hand on your face making it go more red.

I was still wondering why AppleJack’s face was turning red until I felt something hitting my gut. I don't noticed I was at least a few feet in the air hitting a tree.

I went completely through the tree hitting a boulder shattering it. I got up noticing a big red stallion seem to be in a defensive stance.

“Protect the Lord! Protect the Lord! Protect the Lord! Protect the Lord” I could hear my man shouting as they unsheath their swords pull back the strings of their bows and getting their Knives Out.

With in a few seconds I wall of guards were in front of me.

“Man calm down I'm all right!” I shouted.

I could see applejack trying to calm down The red Stallion. Lee just arrived to see me get back from the shattered Boulder.

“My Lord, what happened” he said

“First of all call me Alex! Second I'm still trying to figure it out”

The Red stallion walked up to me. My man got defensive but I told them to calm down.

I walked up to the Red stallion in until we were 2 feet apart. He put out his hand and apologize. “Sorry their partner I thought you were hurting my younger sister”

“It's alright” I say as I shaked his hand.

“Excuse my arrogance but what exactly are y'all?” he said confused.

“We are humans, don't you remember us from the attack?” I said confused as well.

“Attack? Sorry, but I just got here right now what happen?” he said confused still.

“Beings that called themselves diamond dogs who were trying to enslave all of Ponyville… well until we arrived and kick their ass.” I said proud

“Well shucks, I should probably go apologize to my family and again sorry for hitting y’all”

“It was alright my friend you were just defending your sister I completely understand” I said reassuring him.

I looked up at the sun not realizing it was now lunchtime I like my men eat before we head out.

(Time skip)

About two hours later, after getting information from the captured dogs. We were heading to their den. I stopped along the way and summoned the rest of my soldiers.

20 knights
15 archers
5 thieves
1 medic

Diamond dogs may have been stronger than us. They could outnumber us 10 to 1 but that does not mean we can give up yet.

So far my plan was me, the knights, Lee and killer will be in the front lines. The 15 archers will be giving us covering fire. The thieves will be taking the food as we distract them.

This battle will not be won today. It may take a week or two. But without the diamond dogs food supplies they will get desperate and reckless.

We were in an open field in the front of the diamond dog den. There is at least 100 guards outside and who knows how many inside.

Me and my man got into position. And it wasn't long until the first volley of arrows rained upon the dogs.

With Cries and yelps The dogs are falling like dominoes. Eventually they starred to rush at us only to be cut down by them.

After shooting five dogs with my arrows I also join the fight with my sword. I begin cutting away at the dogs decapitating, cutting them in half or slicing off one of their arms or legs.

But eventually the first soldier fell. All time seems to slow down as I watched his lifeless body fall to the ground. Soon a few more than dog that passed us and went to the archers.

There at seem to be 200 of them now. I had to call out a retreat which I did.

“Everyone! Retreat now! We! Are! Leaving!” I shouted at the top of my lungs.

We rushed through the woods and losing the diamond dogs. Eventually we stopped.

“Quickly Report to me Lee, how many casualties?” I said with worry.

“Seven casualties and eight wounded. Five knights and two archery Perished and eight more knights are wounded.” He told me.

“And what about the thieves?”.

Just then the five thieves came running at us with bags of supplies.

“Report” I said.

“We weren't spotted and we were able to get 91% of their food” said a girl thief.

This was a good, without food they will be rushing at us. That's when I'll use the archers and thieves to hide them in the trees.

(Time skip)

(Two days later)

it's been two days since we began our attack. The dogs now only 100 I still fighting to their last dying breath. Yesterday and archer was to wounded and didn't make it back to the camp. We are now down to 15 nights 12 archers 5 thieves and 1 medic.

Most of the dogs food was made of germs so we could not eat it. So we giving it back to the ponies. They can use it to rebuild her town. The food that isn't made out of Crystal was running low.

Morale of the soldiers was at least decent… for now. I've been joining the ambushes along with the archers time to time. With the thieves giving us a description of what the den looks like I'm thinking of keeping it. It would be a good first base tons of supplies besides food and has a good defensive point if you're not stupid.

But today is where we finish it. When the thieves and to the cave I noticed another book that looks similar to mine, only orange. The orange book is the symbol of the Vikings. If I were to sneak into there without getting detected I could unleash a surprise attack with in side the base.

Later that night I mastered my ability to turn invisible. It was pretty hard to do especially since I've never done it before. I then teleported on the outskirts of the base.

As I got closer to the gate some of the diamond dogs headlights and were patrolling around. By looking into their eyes I could see that they were fearful.

About half of them were sleeping. When the time comes to ambush it's going to be fun.

I made my way down the cave to fine this orange book. Unfortunately it was guarded by six dogs.

I did everything I could to not make a single sound when I snuck past the guards. If you could even call them guards. Two of them look like they're about to pass out any minute... Well better get them a wake up call.

When I grab the book it disappeared. I looked at my book to see things had changed to it. For starters one of the sides of the star was not filled in with silver.

I opened up the book that's fine three new pages.
