Chapter one-from the void to a new land
the void:realm of ashan
"CURSE THAT DAMM KING OLEG AND HIS KNIGHTS TO THINK THEY CAN KILL ME HOW DARE THEY.stay calm i am not a child of some noble in the bull duchy i am sandro the Nethermancer and i need to act like it so lets see i am in the void but to what purpose i wonder." sandro said as his mind wondering the void thinking how he lost to some stupid order of knights.
"Because i brought you here lich! ".a strong voice called to him in the void.
"And to what i have the pleasure to speak to?" Sandro said in a condescending tone.
"We never meet but you know of me". The voice said in a deep feminine tone.
"That doesn't help me you know i know many and to list them would be tiresome". Sandro said not thinking much of the one talking to him.
"I AM ASHA The Spider Queen and the dragon of life and death". Asha roared at the empty of the void and a form of a titanic dragon as big as ashan it self. Her cosmic colors wings spreed in the void like a new constellations of stars in space forming in the void.
"Well this is funny to think i will die by the god that i rejected the most.well go ahead kill me i had a good run". Sandro said as he stood in his place wondering how the ruler of life and death will be his judicator and executioner.
"No i will not kill you i am not like my brother Urgash your fate will be more contradicting". Asha said in rage and spite speaking of her brother the dragon god of chaos and creator of demons urgash the primordial.
"Oh well by all means share my fate to me then you damm dragon". Sandro said mocking the dragon god like she was some fool in a kings court.
"A deal. I will send you to a new world and you can do what you want in it so long you don't disturb the balance". Asha said to him in the same condescending tone is use to speak to her.
"So its Enroth all over again if archibald could see this". Sandro said to him self reminiscing of his time of times of yore before the events of the "war of the armageddon blade" so long ago and how lucky to escape the destruction of is old world.
"So do we have a deal"?asha ask to see if the necromancer standing before her consider the offer in any way what so ever.
"Yes but before i accept your proposal if you willing to answer just one question if you don't mind"? Sandro said to asha in a tone she never herd from him. Tone of curiosity and trying to understand her words.
"You may". Asha said after hearing the curiosity in his voice. She want to know his question to see if the lich master can surprise her in a new way or form.
"Why"? That was the only word sandro said not what land or if he will be reborn only the word why came from his undead voice.
"Why what".asha said to him like is question was not impressive and she was some how disappointed in him. She excepted much more from the 507 years old necromancer.
"Why this i left your order and i murdered your servants so why a second chance". Sandro said to her trying to understand the dragon goddess. Even he the one that mange to control void magic did not understand the reason behind of this strange deal.
"The reason Sandro is you may did what you did but i am the mother of life and death and my reasons are my and my alone.plus i think the place i will send you will be punishment fit for you.so are you ready for your new life"? Asha said to him in a tone that was true to what you think of a god a voice of not caring about right or wrong because all was equal to her all life big or small was but insects to her. And sandro did not like this ever since he was a child up to his second death.
"After this words i cant stand the anticipation i am ready to meet this new world now send me you damm dragon". Sandro said not caring of the dragon words he know no matter what will happened is power over death and void will follow him.
"Very well by the power of life and death necromancer Sandro BEGONE FROM THIS WORLD!!!".asha roared to the void opening a portal so strong that even sandro was standing in fear of her and no second later the portal took sandro from the void to this new land asha spoke of.
"It is done i hope you can handle this from this point on old friend". Asha said to her self as she return to the world of ashan wondering if the innocent world she toss Sandro to can in any way handle the third most powerful threat of her world. Only time will tell.
Equestria:outskirts of ponyville
A strange flow of magic eruption was felt by every creature in equestria causing magical backlash in all spell casters and heavy migraines in all non spell users for only a two second moment and then it disappear. And in that moment a new visitor arrived to the land of harmony and he was not happy.
"To think she could give me a warning before teleport me so rude of her". Sandro said to him self cleaning is robe from dust and dirt after the portal spit him out. To say the least he imagine the world he consider his new home will be more like a cell in Sheogh killing demons for all is undead life but to his surprise he saw what he assume is a world of a child from the city of Irollan but more colorful to his taste.
"I say this new land have raw magical power unknown to me but it wont be long before i master it. i wonder if the local residents will act like savages or smarter that the average man". Sandro said as he observing the land hoping to see if some one notice the strong magical burst that he left after he landed.
"Oh well never mind that now lets see i still have in my possession the staff of the necromancer and the mask of false face and the Ring of the Unrepentant that will be handy if i will come to some trouble". He said as he grab is artifacts of power and continue to search for any civilization he can call a place to live in only to find a road and a sign he came closer to it and read whats on it.
"road to ponyville" "what manner of name is ponyville for a town even i can come up for a better name if i want to well beggars can't be choosers i suppose well lets go ahead to i hope will be my new home. Void take me". sandro said to himself as he cast a spell to summon his spectral void steed and want on the road to ponyville.
town of ponyville:town center
"is everypony ok?". Twilight said as she was in her most terrible headache she had in her life not knowing what type of magic can cause so much pain to everypony in town.
"yes we are all fine only some small migraines it will pass".starlight said as she was drinking a lot of water to ease the pain.
"speak for yourself my head wont stop hurting i think i gonna be sick". Spike said trying not to puke from his strong migraine.
"well we need to find out what did this and fast the rest of the girls are not here at the moment so we need to know if this was a magic attack or not".twilight said in a desperate tone in hope she is wrong and no one is trying to invade them again.
"Help us somepony a monster its gonna eat us!". Shouts from outside the castle could be heard in the streets of ponyville as the residents running in panic and fear from this "monster".
"spike send a letter to celestia to bring backup if something bad will happen,starlight i need you next to me if we will battle this so call monster out side. So lets greet this our new visitor".twilight said as she and starlight exit the castle to see what they will face.
Sandro POV
"Well i did not expect this at least now i know why this place is name ponyville and i know asha was right this was a punishment fit for me but i wonder why this stupid horses are running from the street like they never saw a... Human...before now.... BY THE VOID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM DO THEY!, well at least now i know why they screaming like some one is gonna kill...them... They think i am gonna kill them i hate this world more know". Sandro said to his mind trying to asses this weird situation he was in.
"stop right there monster you will not harm any pony so long as i am here". Twilight said to the strange bipedal in front of her only now i inspect him and see what is before her. A bipedal creature in black and green armor and robe, and what is to be a white mask that the eye holes glow in a strange blue color,she all so notice the strange staff he hold and she felt strong magic from it, but what is was more afraid of was the very very big shadow pony he rode on and she was thinking what happened to it.
"And to whom i am speaking now or to what i am speaking now in this case". Sandro said for a good reasons first he did not know in what manner of tone to use he need to know what rank in this world hierarchy this beast in. Second he never in is life as a man and undead he saw a hybrid of an unicorn and pegasus before is mind was intrigued to say the least.
"Me name is princess twilight sparkle and this is my student starlight glimmer and we are going to stop you from...doing...any... Harm. WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!".twilight shouted at the strange visitor.
"Hahahahah why am i laughing? You are kidding me no disrespect young monarch but i cant take you seriously when your names sound like they from a child story book are all the names of this world are like that or jest yours i wonder?". Sandro saying to them and laughing to their face.
"well if our names are so stupid what is your name then". Starlight said as she was afraid this new stranger was like discord in is manner.
"How rude of me i beg your forgiveness and allow me to introduce myself i am Alejandro Dela Segadora former duke of the bull duchy, master sorcerer and lord necromancer at your service". Sandro spoke to them not reviling all he is or is name that all fear of. He wanted to see how they will react to what he said so far to be specific how will this small princess will react.
"hold on you are royalty,a sorcerer and did you say your world and one more thing are you a human?".twilight ask him in order to see if she was right about her suspension plus she now understand he all so said he is a necromancer.
"Well to answer your questions in order are yes,yes and well yes and no. But before you can ask more questions i need to ask what are you for you are not a unicorn nor a pegasus so what are you? Sandro said to her is curiosity at its peak.
"well i am an alicorn i was a unicorn but after i did a great fit of magic i ascended and along with me there are five alicorns. Now after i answered you question what did you meant by "yes and no" in the last sentence you said are you or are you not human?".twilight ask him wanting to get an answer from this stranger that she now knows his name that have a sound to it like princess cadance full name.
"Well to answer your question i will only say this i cant tall you for now at least not until i will have your absolute word no harm will come to me if i am to live in this world i want word as a monarch of this world that if some one is to harm me you will have my back can you promise me that one sorcerer to another". Sandro said to her testing if he can get more then what he wanted when he came to this town.
"ok fine i promise but you have to promise not to hurt anypony as long as you in my care do we have a deal?". Twilight said to him to show that she have authority and to see how he will react.
"Why yes we have a deal your majesty. And now i will tell you the answer to your query i was a human that is true but i am no longer one for i am what you call a lich a form of an undead necromancer. And i bet you want to know more about me as well so if you know a place we can talk in private eyes?. Sandro said to her in a the most respectful manner she ever saw in her life.
"why yes we can go to my castle and we will get to know each other".twilight said to him in hope to learn more about this man Alejandro and to take notes about his magic.
"Well by all means lead the way" sandro said to her as they went to the crystal castle in the shape of a tree. And he was thinking to him self if he can turn this princess to one of his acolytes of the void and get some political power in this world royal court. And for now he will need to gather as much information about this world if he want to bend this world to is bony fingers. Only time will tell.
