Oroshi

The Oroshi started to slowly awaken from its undisturbed slumber in his little cave hideaway, raising his head from the snow covered ground as a yawn escapes his muzzle. As the Elder Dragon takes his time from waking up from his sleep, the uni-horn monster shifts his body around in the snow as he tries to lay in a different position, trying to get a bit more rest before waking up fully. Five or so minutes later the Elder Dragon decided to finally wake up fully, and started to trudge his way to the opening of the cave.

But as the midnight monster makes his way to the mouth of the cave, the monster started hear distant rumbling, and what sounded like distant roaring. But when he exited the cave the Oroshi didn’t see any creatures nearby, or in the general location he was in. Deciding that the distant roaring and sounds weren’t of any interest, the Oroshi started to trot about this wasteland of rock and stone for something to eat. However considering that this land of baren rock, with rivers of lava flowing through it the Elder Dragon figured he’ll have to leave this desolate landscape, and search for more favorable environments. And as the Oroshi scales rocky basins, or cliffs to gain height to survey the land the monster noticed a mass collection of creatures far off in the distant, and with his curiosity peaked the Elder Dragon decided to take a closer look.

Bounding across the land in a few steps with great speed the Oroshi lands at the edge of a crater, where it finds various types of creatures that looked like the three annoying winged reptiles it encountered yesterday, with the majority of the group being no bigger than the ones the Oroshi killed. But there were some that were extremely big, as big as some of the more large monsters that the Elder Dragon has seen from time to time. And the large ones seem to be in a very intense state as they are shouting at each other.

“—I WANT VEGENCE NOW LORD TORCH!” one large red and orange monster shouted as flames puffed out from her mouth, while her tail slapped around behind her.

“My Garble was murdered, and I want vengeance! I want to find whoever did this and make them pay!”

“Do you think I don’t know that!” a far larger monster bellowed at the red and orange monster.

“Three of our young ones have been killed, unjustly and meaninglessly! I assure you this will not stand!” the larger monster bellowed again, but this time accompanied by a claw slam onto the ground.

“However we don’t know who has done this. The only thing we know is that whoever has done this, must’ve used some kind of strong piercing weapon as their bodies have clean straight holes through their bodies.” The large monster said to the orange and red monster as he scratched his chin with a claw, before slamming it onto the ground causing the ground to shake as pieces of rock are set loose and sent flying a short distance.

“But I assure you, we will get to the bottom of this!”

The cluster of creatures continued to shout and roar at each other as they bickered, but whatever they were going on about didn’t stick to the Oroshi as he lost interest almost instantly. Bounding back the way he came; the elder dragon went back on his mission of searching for food. But as the elder dragon went about into looking for food, his search was again interrupted, although this time it wasn’t due to the distant roaring of the creatures. This time the elder dragon was halted when a large gust of fire came crashing down in front of him, scorching the rocky ground as the sound of wing beats caused the elder dragon to look up, and see a large dark blue scaled winged monster coming down to the ground.

“What is a pony doing in Dragon Country?” the large, towering monster asked as it lowered its head to look the Oroshi Kirin in the eye, but the elder dragon wasn’t at all intimidated by the monsters size, or even fazed by the fire it stood in.

“Move.” The elder dragon said in a commanding tone as he stared back into the monsters eyes, who honestly seemed surprised. And then out right humorous as it started to laugh.

“Oh! Such a feisty little thing aren’t you? Perhaps you forgot where you are pony…” the monster said as it reared back a bit, a claw raised as a grin crosses its long face. “Let me help jog your memory!”

In the Golden Oaks Library Twilight’s friends stopped by to check up on how their alicorn friend was, luckily the mare was doing much better. However her body was still covered in bandages and medical patches on the places she was injured. Today though the six mares were also joined by princess Celestia, who showed up out of the blue and startling the group of mares altogether, but once they all calmed down from surprise visit Celestia explained the reason for her visit. Which was the incident with unknown unicorn that injured Twilight, and nearly froze Applejacks farm. And when the group was told the level of destruction, and just overall behavior of the stallion when Celestia confronted him, they were all shocked.

“Just who is this strange unicorn, and why is he causing so much harm?” Rarity asked as she, along with her friends grow increasingly curious and concern of this strange, and clearly dangerous stallion.

“I don’t know but if he ever shows his face around here—” Rainbow threw a punch to signify her intention for the stallion.

“No offense Rainbow, but I doubt you’ll be much of a threat to this stallion.” Rarity commented as she looked to her cyan feathered friend. “He sounds like a rather dangerous individual.”

“I just hope he doesn’t come around here again. He might freeze all of Ponyville like he did with Applejack’s farm.” Fluttershy said in a fearful manner, terrified after hearing what this stallion did to two of her friends, and in Canterlot.

“I gotta be honest, even I feel like this guy might not be a good pony to make friends with.” Pinkie said in a rarely sad and worried tone which just made her friends feel uneasy as well.

As the group wandered just what is going on with this strange unicorn, Twilight was silently thinking to herself just on who this stallion was. Where did he come from, what is he doing in Equestria, and why is he abusing his magic in such a violent way. These questions, and many more continued to bounce around inside the alicorns head, before she broke her silence as a sigh escapes her mouth.

“I just wonder where he came from…and where he learned to harness such powerful ice magic.” Twilight said mostly to herself but still managed to grab the other six mares attention.

“How could he weld such strong magic?”

“I’m not sure Twilight, but hopefully we won’t have to deal with him.” Celestia said in a rather hopeful manner, but a concern look still adorned her face.

“Although I fear that with his personality, we will certainly hear about him and his exploits if somepony rubs him the wrong way.

At that moment Twilight and her friends already started thinking up various scenarios of what this stallion could be up to right now. From causing havoc in another city like he did in Canterlot, or just terrorizing smaller towns with his mere presence and display of power. even Celestia was worried about what this stallion might be up to at this very moment, after all, she had no idea on where she teleported the stallion to. as the sheer level of fear that took hold of her, when the unicorn was charging up a powerful attack, disrupted her from thinking clearly on where she was going to send him. A while later after Celestia finished her visit to inform her student and her friends the situation that took place yesterday, and told them to take care and be careful if the stallion ever found his way back to Ponyville, the princess bid them farewell and teleported back to Canterlot.

The Oroshi was trotting through the baren wastelands, scales, and patches of fur ever so slightly singed. And as the Elder Dragon trots off, scaling a small cliffside, the body of the dark blue creature was left behind. large spikes of ice erupted from the ground and piercing through its body, with spears of ice stuck into various other places of the monsters body, while frost and snow covered it and the area around it. The large imposing monster was left just suspended in spikes of ice, like propped up carcass.

As the Oroshi reaches the top of the cliff it looked back at the dead monster, a highly annoyed and upset look plastered on his face. A large, hefty spike of ice starts to form above the Oroshi Kirin, as particles of ice and snow swirl around it and merges into the spike. Once the icicle was to the Elder Dragon desired it was then launched at great speed, soaring through the air with a sharp ‘swoshing’ sound before it punctured into the back of the monster, going right through it, and slamming into the ground. with the monsters heart ripped from it, and now splattered onto the ground where the icicle landed.

“Stupid beast.” The Oroshi hissed as the hair covering his body stood on end as he snorted a puff of cold air. A moment later the Oroshi heard distant roaring as it saw figures flying towards his direction.

“Great. More stupid beasts.” The Oroshi grumbled as he shakes his head.

“Better move before they try something stupid.”

With that the Oroshi started to travel at surprising speed across the land in long leaps and bounds, almost like a ghost freely drifting over the land. As the Elder Dragon continues to skip across the land, the roars from before grew in volume to the point where the ground itself started to shake and rumble. But the Oroshi didn’t pay them to much attention as he just continued to leap and bound, eventually the Elder Dragon reaches another large cliff face but stretching high up like a land rise, causing the midnight skinned monster to scale its with little effort. Reaching the top of the land rise the monster was able to see less baren rocky terrain beyond, and started to see what looks like a steppe with a few trees and other foliage scattered about.

“Finally something to eat.” The Oroshi said as he started to trot down the cliff towards the steppe, heading over to a few large bushes with what looks like berries on it under the shade of a large wide-brimmed tree.

Just as the Oroshi took a big bite of one of the bushes, getting a mouth full of leaves and berries, the monster heard more roars, but this time accompanied by rushing air. Tilting his head up and from under the rim of the tree he was under and saw several of the large monsters fly overhead, and out towards the farther ends of the steppe and beyond. Soon the monsters were nothing but specks in the horizon as the Oroshi just continued to munch away on the bushes.

“At least they aren’t going to bother me.” Oroshi said before he swallows his mouthful of food, licking his lips to get the berry juices that slathered them.

While the flock of flying monsters disappeared from view the Elder Dragon went back to filling his stomach. And after roughly ten or so minutes and reducing three bushes to barren branches, the monster was now satisfied and was now at ease as he was able to enjoy a peaceful moment.

“Finally. A nice quite moment, and no interruption to my meal.” The Oroshi said as he scanned the area of the steppe he was in, eyes wandering over the wide expanse of flat land.

“Now where should I go next?” The Elder Dragon continued to survey the steppe for a little while longer, before trotting off in a random direction.
