Chapters There is was standing on the cliff overlooking the city of Astria, a city for the Bird-folk. They are mostly a peaceful species, unlike the humans who pick fights constantly or the giants who fight for fun. The bird folk are mostly traders and travelers, only a few of their species fight but that's expected. This world is covered in blood, I wouldn't be surprised if we have blood pools.
I looked over my shoulder to see my wolf body with smaller than normal wings, I'm also so disappointed when I see them. 'A winged wolf who can fly pathetic' that's what my father always says. I just learned to tune him out, while I am unable to fly I am a psychic. I saw one of my closest Dragon friends, there are 3 clans of dragons. The chaos clan attack ruthlessly, The Keeper clan is the group that does nothing but sit and watch. An finally the Knight Dragons, the only clan who assist others, Still they can be assholes. She isn't though, unlike her brother, She is a grey and white dragon one of the few Dark Dragons.
"So Mina?" The Dragon looked at me and rolled her eyes playfully, before shrinking down. Ah, dragon magic is so useful, I looked over my human companion, His name was Mirach, once a King of the nation of Hinalopia, A nation with 4 Kings he was the King of law and order. He controlled the guards and all the laws, he is a good guy just confused sometimes.
"So Mina what do you think we should do? I mean my idea is simple?" My whole team groaned, what Attack and Defending aren't good enough? Then Mirach spoke up, telling me what I needed to know.
"No offense Sir Akky but we have to capture him alive he is needed for a trial. That means he cannot die." My eyebrow twitched, really I expected this, still makes me mad. HE killed two of my sisters, and we aren't going to execute him on the spot!?
"Fine Mirach just ensure that I don't kill him okay? I'm very close to killing on sight!" They all knew when I get pissed I'm unstoppable, "We need to get into the city and stop this dude from taking more victims, I should take human form." My body starts to contort as I slowly take human form, I sigh and stretch. I pull out my psychic Katana that drains my psychic energy to cause shockwaves of power. I looked at my squad and smiled, who would have thought I would have made so many allies in such a short time. My human form is temporary, it only lasts hours.
The only issue is we have to find this guy and kill him, His name is Jean de Baptiste.
A Necromancer, one of the most hated wizards known to all species. He kills others and turns them into slaves, We must avenge my sister!
It has been hours since we left the cliff and walked down the path we are nearing the city. Said city is 10 miles wide it is mostly meant for the flyer species, so being ground-bound is difficult here. Anyway, we had no idea where to find Jean. Our only idea was to do something simple. Shop and ask questions, "So team go ahead and look for us a room to stay. we need information so keep it low and quiet. We can't risk him finding us at all, if he does he will escape." They nodded they knew how much it works it would be, for us to find the criminal but we are all determined to find him.
I looked over at Mirach, "So buddy what can we buy? because I'm hungry!" Mirach facepalmed, "look I know Mirach but I haven't eaten in days!"
"You ate last night! Mina said you loved it!" I looked at him and hid my blush well.
"Yeah, I did she can cook she just eats most of it herself. I hardly got any-" I froze feeling all but familiar magic, Blackmagic. I finally noticed what we walked into I shuddered in fear. "We should leave Mirach" I looked around seeing all the looks we got from the inhabitants, they saw my crown and started to drool. We are where all the criminals live, we call it the Amag. No government tries to attack the Amag, they normally hold a population of thousands.
"Let's leave Mirach okay, I'd rather not start a fight if I can avoid it" Mirach nodded and we backtracked quickly, and met up with one of my Astral Tiger friends her name is Sombre. "Sombre!' she turned and looked at me Then my human disguise disappeared changing me into my wolf form looks at my star-covered fur and sighs. 'I stand out too much looking like this but changing my fur can be difficult I also don't know what to make it look like' "Hum, we need to find me a cloak or something to hide my body. He will notice me easily, I am the starred wolf after all one of a kind.
I am the Wolf of legends, The wolf that will change the world. I will do what I can to fix the mistakes others make. I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked at Sombre and blushed, "Sorry Sombre I was lost in thoughts again?" She nodded and I sighed, this keeps happening. Then I heard a singular whistle only wolves can hear with their ears, A whistle I once gave to ....Mina it is an emergency whistle. My eyes start to spark, Sombre and Mirach both knew what happened. Then I disappeared, they could feel the wind rush and saw the ground covered in a fire leaving a trail.
Mirach looked to Sombre, "The little squirt is the fieriest thing" he looks at the flames "literally." Sombre for her part tried not to laugh, "Let's us follow him Sombre." she nodded, and they started to walk after me.
When I got to the location I heard the whistle come from I gawked, the majority of my team was on the ground groaning in pain. Then my eyes erupted in blue flames everyone for a mile could feel wrath grow. I was pissed so very pissed that I heard them all but the familiar voice of Jean.
"Who are you, so a winged wolf with small wings, Covered in stars? Ah, the Prince of the Winged Clan? The one prince who cant fly so is referred to as a failure. Your father would never let you leave, Akky Veilheim." I growled at him, Jean De Baptiste, The bastard is here! He found us!! I growled and charged at him, knowing fully I would not be able to hit him. He just blasted me into a wall causing me to gasp in pain, I blacked out for a few minutes. I looked at the crater in the wall that I impacted and slowly got up to my paws.
I growled at Jean, he just smirked, cocky Human. He had a right to be cocky I'm pathetic with my crown on, then I blinked in surprise. My crown! I quickly removed my crown causing jean to look confused, You see Royal wolfs have crowns that amplify their natural power. I on the other hand has a crown that nullified my abilities
The Shockwave from my head was powerful, I started to blast psychic energy from my head towards him. HE easily deflected with black shields I got enraged. Causing him to smirk, But unknown to him the more rage I channel the stronger my powers become.
I started pulling out more and more power causing my eyes to glow brighter and brighter, I slowly started to realize if i was to get startled or start to lose control things could get disastrous. I had to be sure I dont ge- And right when I thought that I heard miarch shout, "SIR AKKY." These two words knocked out my concentration and thats when I looked up and saw a portal open over all of us pulling everyone inside. The suction was so powerful it tore my jacket off all my friends slowly got pulled inside, even Jean fell inside the portal I tried hard to remain in place but couldnt.
The last thing I saw was a purple horse, with a horn. Then darkness.
I was inside my head how I knew well, it was the only place that relived the memories of my past. I quickly noticed I needed to wake up and do something to help as I heard talking that sounded distressed. I slowly open my eyes and groaned in pain, my entire body felt like it went through a butcher shop. My muscles felt like they are torn in several places, and my bones mainly my ribs felt broken, but the killer was my headache. My head felt like it was split open, which means only one thing I had a psychic backlash. I sighed, the pain was so bad I didn't even notice that I had been strapped down to a bed than I noticed and I grumbled in distaste.
Then I finally understood the voices in the other room and I knew who it was Mirach, "I am still angry you tied down my friend, so don't try and make it better by asking for forgiveness." Then I heard a new voice, it was feminine and intelligent. "Well I'm sorry but why would you follow a wolf around its just stupid you are a Prey creature and he is a Predator creature." I could feel Mirach's frustration, "Look here he isn't bad he is just misunderstood, Also mina won't be happy when she finds out, She will try to blow up the town." That she would as she is very protective of me, I find it adorable and cute. She loves me and I love her it's just weird. I could hear the fear in the female voice, "You mean that dragon that left and went to the Badlands was actually a friend of yours." Then I heard a male voice it sounded young, "Ohh a dragon please tell! I wanna know about her!" Then Mirach spoke, "I would but I have to keep Sir Akky from being angry, he will in fact be pissed likely when he finds out most of his team has separated. While he was unconscious."
"I am already pissed Mirach get me out of this!" I should feel the hesitation in the air, I blinked. "What's the wrong Mirach?"
When I finally heard his voice it was very cautious and nervous, "Uh Boss I might be different than the time I saw you" Now that got my attention, how can he look different?
"Okay, how can you look-" I stopped mid sentence when I saw a Horse with golden eyes, a Golden crown of his flank and finally his mane was silver and golden stripped. His fur looked normal brown though, "-Uhh who are you?"
The pony sighed, "I am still MIrach Boss apparently this is normal for humans, they turn into ponies ugh this is so annoying."
I blinked and looked at my body, "Can I be released?"
Mirach then called out behind him, "Miss Twilight I think he wishes to be released." Miss twilight I hope that isn't her actual name.
"You know what fine! I give" Then I felt the straps unbuckle and I teleport out of bed, I could hear a yelp of surprise.
"So what is the verdict Miarch?" Mirach just sighed, he knew I would hate this part.
"Well apparently you can fly now and the ponies use magic, But the main thing is our friends all left us. Sombre ran into the Everfree forest, Mina into the Badlands. Then we have the twins, they smelt the sea and booked it. Also Jean just ran away and Both Ocrui and Luminus followed him. Finally our mage Matt Haymon kinda just went to explore.
I grumbled, I expected that of the twins as they love the ocean but MAtt?! "So who is the leader around here?" Mirach pointed behind himself with a hoof, behind him so who?
Then a violet pony with purple mane and tail with both pink and light purple stripes in her mane, On her flank was one big star surrounded by five other stars. When I felt her aura it was almost overpowering, this pony holds a lot of power.
And when she spoke it was slightly nervous but mainly curious, "Hello Sir Akky My name is Twilight Sparkle."
"Oh please just call me Akky as I hold no social standing, I also do not wish to cause any issues for others so please no." I turned and looked Miarch, he sighed.
"Look Akky buddy I know you love both Sombre and Mina but currently we have a bigger issue." I blinked in confusion, what could be more important?
That's when Twilight spoke, "Well you see we are about to have this big celebration." I sighed, Of course.
"Okay and?" She smiled, she knew something and I groaned.
"I heard you like to help others you see we need some help." I sighed in annoyance
"Does this have any chance of ponies being hurt?" And Twilight nodded, "Fine I shall assist, I just wish I would be able to hide better. As I currently have to be a predator in world of prey this shall be an annoaynce, I hope these ponies do not try to attack me."
Twilight rolled her eyes, "Its okay they dont attack, they mainly run away screaming in fear." I shivered as I knew this will be a pest.
Twilight than looked at me with a curious expression, I blinked and looked at her. When she spoke she had a question that shocked me, "Why do I feel no emotions inside you?"
I looked away and sighed, "I am a psychic so my powers are fueled by emotions, so I keep mostly them contained. I do feel them, im not emotionless, I just control them."
Twilight smiled full of concern but still happy and replied, "Well i still need your help it seems as I dont want others to be hurt by Mightmare Moon."
I blinked, "Your joking right? What kind of name is that? This world is so weird"
I stared at Twilight for a long moment and groaned, she didn't trust me. Well, I wouldn't either I mean look at me, I am a warrior. Twilight had told me 'Princess Celestia' had ordered to move to Ponyville because of a special mission. So she did what she was told to do, she wasn't very happy with all the ponies annoying her. She spoke mainly about this Pinkie pie pony that had more energy than Mina on caffeine, and that scared me. she had multiple run-ins with the ponies in the town over the last week. She didn't appreciate them trying to pull jokes on her, That rainbow maned one in especially.
Now back on topic, "The princess told me to look into the mare on the moon issue, and I did and the book said it would happen on this very day!" I tried hard not to roll my eyes, I looked to Mirach instead. He just shrugged his shoulders in acceptance, I groaned. Great now I have kids to watch, they better behave.
"Oh and um Akky can you please remain by the forest the ponies won't appreciate you being near them at all." She stared at my razor-sharp teeth and gulped then she surprised me by looking over my body. I blinked, I nodded grabbed my sword, and teleported away.
Twilight was left stunned, to say the least.
Twilight Sparkle P.O.V
'HE CAN TELEPORT WITHOUT A HORN!?' I was stunned to silent as I and Mirach walked to the Townhall. We slowly walked inside the town hall and that's when some ponies ran away screaming. 'I suppose I'm late great I'm never late!' I grumbled, Mirach just smiled and kept his sword in its sheath. As we walked forward I had a distinct feeling that I was about to see something I never wanted to see. That's when I saw Mirachs fur starts to bristle, he knew something was actually wrong and that made me take a deep breath. I didn't realize but I was scared, beyond normal levels of fear. I was terrified, something traumatized me to my very core.
While Mirach had a Fear resistance I didn't so I got hit by the main force of the extreme fear. I slowly noticed all the ponies in the near area and likely all over ponyville felt the extreme fear. That is when I heard the worse laugh ever a laugh of full evil
The laugh chilled my very soul, one look at Mirach told me everything I needed to know. He was not prepared for this, alone. He started to shift uncomfortably he seems so calm but whatever we are feeling is beyond even him. The power must be extreme, I tried to resist the fear but it only caused the fear to spike.
Then I felt claws on my back I jumped back startled And looked back to be muzzle to muzzle to Akky and he looked Pissed, "You are okay remain calm." He then looked to Mirach and growled, "Remember your fear resistance Mirach."
Mirach looked to Akky and nodded shaking slightly, The ponies now all stared at Akky's bright yellow eyes. The eyes alone didn't draw their attention to him. They saw his wolf teeth, his body, and claws. but the thing they noticed most was his 4 swords
Akky just ignored the looks of fear with a calm almost emotionless expression, but I could sense a feeling of sadness leak off his spirit. He doesn't like others to fear him. He feels bad when others fear him I slowly realized, and here I was terrified of him, over something he can't control
He kept walking forward then his crown cracked from the extreme magical pressure being emanated from his skull, I gawked, 'he has that much magic!' and 'He has almost more magic than the princess!' got passed through my thoughts. I started to mentally do the calculations and my jaw dropped 'he has so much magic!' that's when I felt the second magical shockwave that literally made most ponies near me jump in surprise if his magic could be felt in earth ponies and pegasi... that is over 9,000 I gasp at the feeling of magic invade me but it wasn't his. It was too dark and evil. Whoever it was trying to get me to kill akky. Then he looked directly at me his eyes were no longer yellow they were orange, the kind of orange that showed power.
In a blink of my eye, he appeared in my face, the energy inside me instantly fleed in actual fear. He softly smiled at me, then he whispered so I could hear, "I don't let those under my protection get harmed in any way." Then he disappeared, and I was left speechless.
Author's Note
Sorry again vacation with no wifi sucks. I only returned today.
Akky snorted in annoyance, why is it always his job to clean up after others? How did he even get here in the first place, this isn't just a different location, this feels like a whole different universe. His powers are not that powerful, so something must have summoned him here, but what. That's when he felt something touch his crown, and he looked around confused, this was odd, he couldn't feel the presence of anything. Though his crown his warning him of danger?
Then his urge to dodge flared up out of nowhere, moving on instinct he flapped his wings once and propelled himself off the ground, and instantly his wings erupted in pain like normal. He fell to the ground with a soft 'umph!' . Right where was standing a second before black sharp crystals formed, those would have impaled him. His instincts flared up again.
This time they told him to flee, whatever was here was strong, powerful, but what!? What can be so powerful that his whole body screamed at him to flee, he faced dragons, monsters, and Human Knights. This one creature had more power and skill than him, HOW. He growled and unlatched his sword, with a soft flash of his crown, he quickly took his famous stance. His body was relaxed, his brain was in overdrive, keeping his body low to the ground ready to leap at a moment's notice. He quickly charged up his power, he wasn't gonna lose this fight.
Then he heard a dark powerful chuckle, feminine. "Well, who would have thought those ponies in Ponyvile had you!? You can detect murderous intent easily and are faster than any of my attacks so just who are you!?"
Akky just kept his focus on defense, "I am Akky The Prince of The Wolf clan, But I suppose my title has no meaning, As I am not of this universe. Just call me Akky, now I have done my introduction I would like to know who you are."
A new laugh, one filled with insanity and malice. "My name is Nightmare Moon!" Akky sighed, these names are just stupid, first Twilight sparkle now this. Then in an instant, a Large pony appeared from the shadows, A black alicorn with supernova orange mane and tail. Blowing in some kind of mystic breeze, but what really caught Akkies eyes, was her eyes. Vertical slits, and blood-red eyes, eyes meant to intimidate, eyes of a nocturnal beast.
Akkies eyes narrowed, he had to fight her, he could feel it. Though he could something else, an urge to save, and urge to protect, but not Nightmare moon something else. Akky couldn't place what though, then Before he could think any further. The Fight begin, Nightmare launched forward forming a sword from black crystals, Feeling his immediate death. Akky launches backward and pulled out his sword a telekinetic wave, and blocked Nightmare's sword strike, the pushed and struggled with each other. Their swords sparkling lighting up the woods, It was obvious to Akky that Nightmare was a pro, and he was also. 'Who would win?' Was the only thought running through his head, he feared for the innocents if he failed. His soul erupted in fire, he won't lose again not like last time.
Their swords unlocked and swung around at blinking fast speeds clashing each other, their skills were equal. The only issue, Nightmare had more power than Akky, She was struggling but barely. Akky was managing but deep inside he knew he can't keep this up for long, he just woke up from excess energy loss. He Also noticed nightmare was suffering from the same thing, He launched backward getting the room for a new technique, he focused his psychic energy into his crown causing it to condense the energy. He willed his power to fire in one powerful condensed energy wave, the energy wave was a Glorious Purple just like his eyes, The stars covering his fur started to move and gravity seemed to pull them into orbits.
Nightmare sensing the energy building did the same thing and fired a wave of black energy towards Akky. He knew instantly he would lose, His energy wave was pushed aside with such ease it was like it wasn't even there. The energy wave got larger and larger until it hit Akky in the chest sending him flying, his body went limp, knowing tensing up for an impact made the pain more powerful, when he hit the ground he heard surprised shouts.
Smoke rising from the crater he formed, he slowly rolled his sore injured body up, he felt a red hot spike of p[ain in his chest. He winced, his sword landed next to him, he used it to block the attack as best he could but now. The sword was melted in half, he pulled the broken sword from the ground. He was so focused on Nightmare that he didn't notice the voices, he returned to his combat stance.
Mirach was walking behind the group of mares, Rarity the towns seamstress, Rainbow dash the town brazen idiot, Applejack the towns country farmer, Pinkie pie Mirach just doesn't know how to explain her. Then there was flutter shy, the town's animal wildlife caretaker, and Twilight sparkle the town's librarian, and the pony he doesn't honestly trust. They were making their way through the Everfree forest, Mirach was keeping his horn lit up and floated his sword beside him.
The out of fucking nowhere, Kaboom A dark grey wolf got shot of the tree lines and impacted the ground, leaving a smoke trail, The ponies all yelled in surprise. A crater formed where he laned spraying the ponies with hot dirt, each pony with the exception of pinkie yelped in surprise, even mirach jumped back. That's when Mirach has seen it, Akkies royal sword came spinning from the tree line and landed next to Akky. The sword half-broken, Each pony gasped in surprise when Akky got his paws and looked into the tree line with an intense expression, smoke rising off his body.
Fluttershy broke the silence first, "A-are you okay mister wolf?" No answer only Akky staring to the tree line.
Rainbow dash growled but Fluttershy and Applejack stopped her, "What the hay?! He came out of nowhere and is only looking at trees?!"
Mirach took this chance to speak, "He is in a battle for his life, don't interfere, he may mistake you for an enemy." those words made everyone look at him surprised. "I saw him do this once before, that time he attacked half our crew because we tried to calm him down, afterward he was shocked and fleed for a month. We didn't see him for a while, and when he came back he was...different. So I plead with you, let him fight the battle you should have fought. He will defeat her-" before he could finish, they all felt it a powerful spirit filled with malice, they all looked over to where Akky was staring and gasped, Nightmare moon, walked out from the shadows. Her glowing red eyes allowed everyone to see what she was. "We must flee, we must get these elements you speak of. They may be our only choice, to defeat that!" They turn and ran, Nightmare didn't even notice them only staring at the injured Akky.
Akky glared at nightmare, He launched forward slashing his broken sword in a swift overhead strike, Nightmares' sword blurred into motion blocking the strike. Akkies sword groaned in protest, it was obvious he would need a few swords. He unlocked his sword and slashes nightmare across her chest, actually cutting through her armor. She snarled, and blasted Akky backward, he flipped and landed on his front paws, hearing a soft pop. His paw erupted in pain, he just dislocated his paw.
He kept his pain silent, he had to fight to win. They continued their fight, each of them taking injuries, It was obvious to both of them that Akkies body was growing weaker, his psychic field was starved, and his energy was fading. Thought Nightmare wasn't much better, She was losing power faster than Akky, Akky didn't realize. Thought Nightmare did, soon she wouldn't be able to stand. She had to finish this fight now she doesn't have a choice. Part of her screamed to stop but she ignored it, That part didn't matter. Luna was dead or dying, She blasted Akky back with all her power remaining. The smoking Body of a wolf slammed into the castle of the two sisters, Nightmare noticed it and her mind erupted with fire. Her energy started to rebuild off her rage, though she would feel it later. She teleported into the tower.
Mirach and the girls made it to the tower just in time, though it seems they were late. The limp body of Akky was laying on the ground covered in his own fresh blood, The girls gasped in surprise, they have never seen such injuries. Their land was peaceful, they had no reason to see such injuries. Akkies body was covered in fresh oozing streams of blood, one of his legs where twisted in the wrong direction, His right wing was visibly broken.
The girls stepped forward but were pushed aside by Mirach. Mirach checked Akkies chest, The unconscious wolf winced slightly, Mirach sighed. "You did good boss, I'm sorry you had to fight alone, it was needed though. I'm too weak to fight currently, though I suppose so was you, You just kept quiet about your suffering. Next time tell me, I would have helped you."
Rainbow looked at the wolf with a sense of respect, Rarity looked horrified, Pinkie pie looked terribly sad, Fluttershy Wore a look of sadness and horror. Applejack just seemed conflicted. Though Twilight wore a determined glare, in fact so did Mirach, his sword shook in his weak magical grip, It wasn't a shake of fear of anything else besides rage. His boss was injured and he could do shit!
"When I get you pony you will only wish you were dead." He marched forward and came muzzle to muzzle with Nightmare moon. He was surprised, he jumped back and landed on his back hooves. He didn't have his balance so he fell over, Nightmare moon chuckled.
"Haha, first that powerful wolf and now you?! You have maybe twice as much magical power as he does, But his power was obviously weakened for some reason. You are at full power, I suspect I won't be able to win against you."
Mirach was confused, "Huh? You defeated Akky and you think you will be defeated by me? Akky is like 400 times stronger than me," Nightmare laughed.
"So he can blast away mountains?!" Mirach said nothing, making both nightmare and the girls gawk and look between Akky and Mirach, "You joke, You must?! How one creature is so powerful!?"
"Uhh he is called an Apocalypse wolf for a reason, I am one of most skilled members in our group also not even that powerful, compared to Akkies Dragonfriend Mina." The ponies beside twilight froze, they all looked at her. That's when Mirach felt a familiar ping, He sighed, "Well maybe I shouldn't have said her name." He felt her cold-blooded rage, and shook, "Uhh we better finish this quickly. Girls go get the elements and use them!" Nightmare growled and launched off the ground, while the girls ran upstairs, He stooped nightmare. "Sorry love" he winked at her causing her to blush slightly, "You have a date with me, What do you like dinner." His eyes became cold, "Or some alone time."
He dashed forward slashing Nightmare across the chest, his movements were smoother and more refined, but also more powerful than Akkies. Nightmare side steeped the slash but barely, her fur fell to the ground. Mirach used his sword's momentum to form a u-turn and slash nightmare across her flash before she could react, NIghtmare had enough and blasted him back. Mirach slid on the ground leaving smoke rising off the ground, His job wasn't to kill, it was to distract. He was doing his job, perfectly, Nightmare was weaker than Mirach currently but also had him beat with her skill, she was in a pony body longer than Mirach. He can barely walk around and his magic was weak, He knew he would lose. But his intention wasn't to win.
He dashed forward again getting a slash across his stomach for his trouble, he fell over, that was quicker than he thought. Nightmare looked disappointed, so was Mirach.
"Seriously why are you so weak?!"
"Probably because I'm not normally pony and walking on four legs is hard."
"Excuses!"
"Well it is true after all, also you may wanna dodge."
Despite his warning nightmare didn't listen and got punched by a huge Dragon fist for her trouble.
Author's Note
Just FYI I'm sorry if this part is worse than others as I had no idea how to explain this, so I went with something basic don't judge this part as the whole story, please. I'm not good at explaining, the whole element thing, and if the story is different from the main time line that is to be expected. It is an alternate universe after all.
Chapter #5
When the smoke cleared, an angry dragon was standing in front of Miarch. A giant Blue dragon, Miarch couldn't help but gawk, she was normally not blue. Well, she was still mad and Mina, this wouldn't end well. Powerwise, She was the second strongest next to Akky, both of them are the team's powerhouses. Then It goes, The twins, than Him. We have such a large team and sadly not all of them made it in Equestria...or maybe they did. He only saw a few, but maybe they are elsewhere.
Nightmare moon groaned and got to her hooves, and glared at the dragon. "Really a fucking Dragon?!"
I tried to speak but my voice came strained and weakened."Don't kill her mina we need to save her she's not evil, just mistaken." Welp that was the last of my talking strength it seems, my head hit the ground. Mina just looked at me with confusion, Oh right not a human, heh it's getting dark.
Twilight was panting as she looked at the Elements of harmony, though these didn't look right, at first she thought they looked correct but they don't. They are just stone, The true elements should have been pretty jewels, Priceless though these are just rocks. She could feel her frustration rising, she stayed in this town for a week for these?! She could have been learning spells in Canterlot, but no! She calmed down and looked at them, Her mind running in overdrive.
The Elements hold Kindness, her mind instantly went to Fluttershy, her jaw dropped and she smirked. So they are not objects but ponies, and she already found one? Also Generosity, again her mind wandered to Rarity. Her eyes widened, She found two is it possible that they found her? Then Loyalty, Rainbowdash, she sighed at that one, 3. Laughter, Pinkie pie, well that one was obvious.
Honesty, Applejack, Well they are together so what is the six-element? She grabbed the elements in a magical field and flowed magic into each one. Nothing happened, the anger and confusion were overwhelming. 'Why don't these stupid things work!'
That was when Both a heavily injured blue dragon, A familiar stallion, and a limp body of a wolf got launched into the room. So they failed? Are we going to live in eternal night, or live under this crazy mare?! The wolf hit the ground first and slid leaving a trail of blood, The stallion hit a wall and slid down it. The Dragon flipped and landed on her legs, she was very very angry. I haven't seen such rage before, their fur all stuck up in fear, as crazed laughter echoed through the halls. A cold shiver racked Twilights body, The dragon was scared.
"You hurt my mate and expect me to just roll over!? How fucking stupid can someone be!"
Nightmare just shrugged, "I had fun honestly though I thought he was gonna beat me, If were full power I would lose. He has more power than I do, He had the power size of a fucking ocean. I can be compared to an average lake, While miss twilight is a pond. Weak, small, and hardly any flow. I had a higher power level because I had less power to recharge, he himself knew this."
Twilight looked at the elements, She had to get these working, it's only a matter of time before that dragon falls. Then who will fight Nightmare moon, Akky Fell first, broke most of his bones, he will need a hospital to recoup. Mirach (we need a new more fitting name for him) Was in better shape, but also weaker than Akky. What did Mirach call Akky, the apocalypse wolf, yes that's it? What else did nightmare say, his power like an ocean? Her eyes widened, 'The 6th element was magic?!' The elements cracked and a light engulfed The girls, Nightmare gasped in surprise. She could feel the power in the room exceed normal understanding. Even Akky woke up and looked at the light show in surprise, soon he smiled, then instantly regretted it. His vision sawm and he went into shock, passing out.
Twilight blinked as the light faded away, she felt empowered, more power than anyone has a right to feel. She looked at Nightmare's surprised expression, she narrowed her eyes. "I won didn't I?" Nightmare slumped and nodded, Mina snorted and walked over to The unconscious body of Akky, Mina still kept an eye on Nightmare.
Nightmare wasn't a fool, she knew this was the end of her, another 1 thousand years in to plan her revenge. Mina pulled out a potion of Healing and put it to Akkies lips, causing him to heal most of his flesh wounds. Though his bones would need proper treatment, he blinked out of his shock and sneezes up blood. "Well it seems I didn't lose after all,-" That earned one slap from Mina, Akkies eyes flash grey for a second, though it was too fast to notice. "-okay I get it! I did stupid again, I'm sorry Mina I won't be in any shape to fight for a while, for one blood loss. Two I have broken bones, and three the worse of it I have Psychic exhaustion." That caused Mina to gasp.
For the first time twilight and friends heard Mina spoke, "You are joking right?! You have to be kidding,You could die from that! We need to him to a hospitial stat, he might just die." She grabbed the surprised Akky, and before anyone could speak, She launched into the sky taking Akky with her."
Twilight looked behind her at the surprised looks of Rainbow, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. Honestly, she was just as confused, then her mind sparked like a match, oh no the ponies of Ponyville are going to be terrified. She looked at Nightmare moon and sighed. She built up so much power that a tiara formed on her head, while also necklaces formed around the necks of her friends. Each one with their cutie marks, The gems inside each of the jewelry glowed with their color. The magic around twilights horn formed a rainbow energy ball fired a beam of rainbow energy into nightmare, she didn't even scream, only fall to the ground purified. A small alicorn fell to the ground making the ponies gasp, She looked so nice and kind, how was she nightmare moon.
Meanwhile, a cloud of darkness flew out of Luna's body, it had to escape and find a new vessel. Maybe it was too ambitious last time, targeting an alicorn would be big, maybe it should split apart and target a group of ponies. An entity of darkness smiled and spoke 'Finally a chance to escape from Tartus when I do escape I will kill that bitch Celestia and take back what she stole from me, until then I will take what she holds dear.' The spirit looked at twilight and smiled, he had found his target.
Mina landed outside the Ponyville Hospital, Ponies saw the huge dragon and ran. To them, a dragon was attacking, but when it landed by the hospital and shrunk down to the size of a pony, the ponies just didn't know what to think. Then the Dragon rushed inside the hospital screaming emergency, the ponies were curious, why was a dragon needing help?
When Mina enter the hospital carrying an unconscious Akky the staff was confused but helpful. "Please help my mate he was in a fight and he needs medical attention!"
The nurse took one look at the injured wolf and gasped, she could see his bones, she ran over and grabbed Akky with her magic and tugged at his crown. Only to find it doesn't come off, she looked at Mina and tried to speak but Mina just shouted, causing the room to shake, scaring the shit out of the ponies.
"Hurry!" The nurse nodded and ran to put him in a hospital room, Mina sat down on the ground waiting.
Twilight looked to Mirach and was confused, Mina just left him, were his injuries not as serious as they seemed. Mirach opened his eyes and groaned and rolled to his hooves. "Man I feel like I got hit by an Elezor, Damn." he grabbed some kind of potion from his bag, something different from the one MIna gave Akky. He drank the whole bottle with one gulp, the ponies looked at him in awe, then he gagged. "Still hate that taste, it reminds me of the shit Witchers drink, pfft I'm lucky Wayra isn't here, he would kill me for saying that heh. I would like to see him try, he may be a witcher, but I beat him once, it was fun." Then he froze as he felt a powerful aura similar to the same power as Nightmare appeared out of nowhere only it wasn't obviously hostile, and the scary thing was it was headed straight for them, though, it held no malicious intent. Though it could be skilled with hiding in intent, though it's better to take a risk than attack someone peaceful.
Soon after as the power signature grew, it obviously absorbed power but from what? Then the power signature popped out of existence, this sent Mirach reeling. 'W-what just bloody happened?' He heard a soft cough behind him, and jumped, 'Who the fuck did that I wear!' He turned around and froze, behind him was a tall pony with wings and a horn, though her fur was white, her mane and tail were a rainbow blowing in a breeze. But on her flank was a Sun, she was wearing a golden crown with a sun on it. 'oh well Royalty?'
"Hello, miss?" This surprised the Alicorn, she wasn't used to being addressed in such a manor but it wasn't unwelcome.
"My name is Tia, and you must be very new if you didn't instantly recognize me, I'm Princess Celestia of Equestria." Ah a Princess, I wonder where the king is.
"Well hello, my Name is Prince Mirach of Gladwin, a small country on the Island of Gladwin." The ponies all looked at with surprised expressions, "What?"
Rainbow spoke first causing everyone to look at her, "For one your a prince, an awesome one at that, and we never heard that name before."
"Of course, you haven't it seems we are not from this universe, and honestly, I don't wish to return to my home." the ponies looked even more surprised.
Rarity spoke next more complex than anyone it seemed, "Why not I mean you are ruling a country, You could have done anything." This caused Mirach to laugh, the ponies gawked.
"Oh, that's a good joke.....Wait you're being serious?" Rarity nodded, "I wonder does this place have proper royalty?" The ponies had no idea how to react, "Look in my world Kings and Queen rule the countries, the Prince and Princess are just are for looks and the future of the nation. So you are saying this Miss Tia here is the Ruler of this nation, and not some low ranking Royal family members?" Tia chuckled and shook her head.
"Nope I'm in control of this nation completely, well I was." She looked at luna and sighed, "Well my sister and I share the duty, only can you see how that ended. She got corrupted by some evil force, and I had no choice but to banish her until I had a plan to remove it." She looked at Twilight, She was a schemer, though she never intended this to happen.
"Anyway my Boss Sir Akky is in the Hospital, and Miss Mina went to take him there." The ponies beside Celestia cringed, Though Celestia was confused and worried, by their reaction.
"What by chance is Miss Mina and SIr Akky?" The ponies froze and Mirach shrugged.
"Well MIna is an Elder Dragon and, well Akky is a one of kind wolf."
Celestia froze and spoke slowly and carefully, "You have to be joking right?"
Mirach shook his head, and he felt Celestia's energy rise, he fucked up, didn't he?
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Mayra The Witcher of the school of Dragon, one of the few remaining Witcher schools, in the new world. After the last Colliding worlds, that summoned these wolves. They are the few of the creatures Witchers never attacked or bothered, even when humans demanded it. Why? Because the wolves were peaceful and only wished to be left alone.
Now the Last brother of the School of Dragon awakens from his slumber in a world that was unfamiliar to him, something he was unused to but not unwelcomed. He looked at the landscape, His body in pain and sore, though was unsure why. His most recent battle was when that damn, Elf snuck attacked him, somehow. It's hard to sneak attack a witcher, But he did it somehow. His body felt odd, it was like his body had grown, and changed. Like when he took the trial, only more different.
He looked down at his body and groaned he was Black half feathered Eagle and half lion. He was a Griffin, It would have been funny if one of the School of Griffin witchers changed into a witcher, or if he turned into a dragon. Now it's just confusing, Nowhere is he, The surroundings are Foreign to him. Not like it's a different part of the world no this is completely new, His mind rang with questions. Most a similar to like, 'Did anyone else make it here?' 'Am I alone?' 'If they are here where are they.' Well, he got an answer when a wolf ran out from the bushes, a wolf he was Familiar with, The Adopted Daughter Of Akky Wolf, Tonrunn One of the last Remaining Celestial wolfs in existence. Most Were hunted down for their Fur. They can become near invisible, and Humans want that fur for stealth, most die or just fail.
Mayra Got to his feet 'paws' 'claws?' whatever because when Little Tonrunn jumped from the bushed, a group of Griffins followed after her. In a blur, Mayra's silver sword existed his sheath and was held in his front right paw, he launched into action as one of the Griffins swords arced downwards towards the little wolf's throat. Their swords clashed, Mayra realized quickly these Griffins are no monsters so the silver will do nothing to them, He had to switch to his steel sword and quickly. His silver sword was meant to harm monsters, not Non-monsters, so it may damage his sword to block a sword strike.
Little Tonrunn looked confused but kept running the Griffins looked angered, but when they saw the sword their eyes brightened, It seems they are similar to bandits. Sadly it is foolish to attack a witcher, Mayra stared and threw the sword in the griffin's chest. The Flame runes burning the wound close, killing the griffin almost instantly, though the Griffin still screeched in pain before falling. Mayra quickly grabbed his steel sword, and spun it in his paw like the seasoned pro he is, though he is unuse to his body, he was quick to adapt like all witchers. He spun backward and landed on his rear paws similar to a human, prepared for battle. The Griffins took a minute to figure out the form, They saw the Silversword, Mayra swears their eyes looked like golden coins. Then they looked back at Mayra and thought better Than engaging further, What's the point of money if you die. Mayra relaxed his stance slightly then fell to all fours and sighed, It seems they are not so foolish as others, the irony.
Mayra grabbed his silver sword and p[ut it back in his sheath, that didn't work anymore since he was now a griffin and no longer human, He needed a tailor. First priority is Tonrunn, He followed the path the little wolf had taken, then his abnormal Cat like eyes picked up on her trail. He smelt blood along the trail, it seems she was not as safe as he assumed. "Little One?" He gained no response but the birds chirping in the trees, "Little One?!" again no response, something was seriously wrong. The Smell of Blood was getting stronger and stronger, though he sighed, it was no wolf blood. It was Rabbit blood, it seems like the Little one found some food, "Tonrunn!" That gained an answer as Two Mint green eyes, showed from the bushed, Upon seeing him, she retreated back.
"Tonrunn its me Mayra The Lost Witcher." That name caused Tonruinn to look at him with suspicion.
"Mayra Was Human And a witcher you look like Neither! You are a talking Monster, Something Mayra Hunts!"
"I assume I must prove my self little one?" She nodded, good this was the perfect time to test out how much training she has actually learned from Sir Akky.
"Well my Full name is Mayra Gwydion from the Witcher school of Dragon, I meet you 2 years ago after your family was brutally murdered by a group of Wolf Hunters. You called me Uncle Mayra, Even though I begged you not to, each time I was shocked in speechlessness that everyone laughed. I took a different Type of Witcher trial that left me with some emotions, Though left me weaker than most Witchers. This was an experiment I happily partook, My life was spared because the True Trials would have been lethal to me. I gained the title 'the Lost Witcher' when I found myself lost in the School of Dragon a few times, also with my emotions, I was neither Witcher nor a Human so I had to create something new for myself. Unlike my Witcher Brothers, I choose the path of Righteousness." I saw Tonrunn crying and smiled softly, "Should I keep going little one?" She shook her head. "Good because I would have told you about that one time I had-" Getting smacked by the small paw was just adorable.
"Meany! Uncle Mayra, we need to find papa he must be worried about me, we also must find out where we are Uncle!" Mayra nodded and picked her up the best he could and put her on his back. He looked at his wings, and sighed, no way.
He started walking through the woods, prepared to fight anything. Nothing ever came though he was safe, They quickly exited the woods and entered a place that confused Mayra, a mountain range. Though that wasn't what confused him...There were houses in the mountain. Houses that are only reachable by creatures that can fly, "Griffins houses." Tonrunn looked confused then saw what he was looking at.
"The sad thing is, we have no money Little Tonrunn, and from the eyes of those griffins, this place is poor. Most griffins seem to be militaristic, so they will have no use for my skills. Two, the griffins don't have a moral compass like you or me, so may just rob me for these swords of mine, would be foolish but they would try nonetheless."
"But Uncle we have to find papa! We have to get to him before anyone else tries to-" All a sudden it became midnight, even Mayar was temporality blinded by the sudden shift of light, though it only lasts a few seconds. That's when they both felt a powerful presence in the direction of east, Something powerful. And what scared them both was there were two signatures and only one was familiar, someone they knew all too well, and what was scary was the power was weakened.
"PAPA!"
"Kiddo they seem to be fighting but what scares me is that Sir Akky is not using anywhere near, to even 25 percent of his power. It doesn't feel like defensive tactics either, he is fighting someone while weakened, this is a rare situation but one I fear for his life in. He will lose, who he is fighting is more powerful than he is, I think everyone on the planet can feel the sudden burst of power. This is not like one of Akkies' fights when he is at full power, then he can hide his power, now though He is fighting with all his might, it seems he is holding back. Why?"
Then in a huge burst of power, Akkies energy seeming dropped, down to only .5 percent. Basically wiping his power from sense, he was gone, the only power both of them could sense was the attacking force.
"UNCLE WE HAVE TO GO NOW!" Mayra was forced out of his shocked state and looked down at a crying Tonrunn. How far was it to that location, on foot it must be a month away! He sighed, I suppose we have to start traveling.
"Akky will possibly use his power as a beacon when he gains more power, he's not foolish, He wants everyone to come to see him. Since everyone knows him they will visit, or try to, so we should try little one. Let's hope he is okay for the most part and uninjured, mina would be pissed."
"That's correct uncle Mina would be angry!"
Author's Note
Chapter 7 is finished Next is Chapter 8, I am unsure what to place in that chapter maybe it may be a bigger chapter than the rest.
Mayra And Tonrunn, have been traveling for days eating what lived in the woods and staying away from the Griffin towns. While Mayra is capable of fighting he is still unused to his new body so his actions will be sloppy and uncoordinated, it is also easy to tell that the Griffin inhabitants only truly care for money. In a way it reminded the Half witcher of his full-blooded brothers, he was glad he took the Experimental trial, otherwise he would have been just like these Griffin.
On the Fifth day they have reached an endless ocean, Tonrunn whistled, "Uncle Mayra this ocean is large and deep, we should be careful crossing it, It is very likely that it will have wild powerful storms. Worse than the ones in The Southern realm, also we should expect pirates and anything else. We do not know this territory, it may have other dangers than we have seen so far." Mayra nodded in agreement, always expecting the unexpected, that is what he was taught.
"Only issue little Tonrunn, we need to cross this ocean, and I will not be flying. Well not over that! So we need to find other forms of transportation like a boat, and other possible cheaper routes, I have pelts that I could sell. So we will have some money at least, Little Tonrun will you hide in my bag please?"
Tonrunn looked disgusted, "You mean the bag with the heads and Witcher potions? No thank you! Both of those make me wish to throw up, it will make me smell like death!" Mayra sighed but nodded, she was correct, he does have those trophies with him. He reached into his bag and pulled out the head of Ancient Leshen, and Tonrunn looked disgusted.
"I suppose I should dispose of this, It seems it has no purpose now." He put the Head back into the bag as he will throw the heads into the ocean to never be seen again. He looked to Torunn and sighed, how will her get to Akky safely, he needs transportation and needs it now. Then a loud whistled, punctured the silence, and before long he could make out the sound of metal grinding on metal.
A long snake of tracks could be seen and he could see a cloud of dark smoke rise from behind a mountain, He was confused by what was making this noise, that's when he saw it. A steel Train was charging across the landscape, Mayar's jaw dropped, he heard that some humans were making a Train, a steel box able to carry humans across the world with great speed. Though to see one is completely different, the train came to the Train station and the brakes slammed on, The air was filled with the loud screech of metal on metal.
What he was was that most of the smoke was from the engine some of it was from the train car, it was on fire! He charged into action and sprinted towards the burning train, His wings shot open. Was he gliding!? His body was gliding without his conscious action? He smirked And landed on top of the burning train, on top of a Storage car. He jumped from car to car until he reached a Passenger car, he heard screaming and cursing. He jumped inside and instantly his eyes burned and he was choking on smokey air, He sent a wave of Aard, shattering the glass inside the Train card. though he heard screams of surprise, Quickly the smoke started to dissipate. When the smoke was mostly clear, Mayra looked surprised to see, horses? He shook his head, later, now save as many as possible!
He pulled out his steel sword and ran past the surprised horses, they all looked at his sword terrified, he kept running and entered a new train car this one was actually on fire and not just smoking. He looked in his potion bag and gulped, no Frost potions? He was sure he packed some, he sighed if Aard could blast away the fire maybe he could stop the fire, He sighed.
He slammed his right paw onto the ground and leveled his left paw in a focused blast of Aard, the resounding shockwave made horses scream in terror as it sounded like an explosion. Though the fire was erased from existence, The room cleared and in this train car, he saw stripped horses? White horses with grey stripes, Focus! He pushed forward and stomped on the embers of the fire. He sprinted to the door at the end of the car and tries to open it but it was melted closed, He sighed. An slammed the door with all his mite, Just before a huge cloud of smoke entered the train he screamed, "EVERYONE OFF THIS TRAIN NOW!" The Horses took little encouragement and rushed off the train.
He entered the third train car and the smell hit him like a brick, the smell of burnt flesh, he had to contain the fire at least! He charged inside the car and blasted a wave of Aard, the sign cleaned the smoke from the room. He saw the huge fire in the room that was burning with such intense heat it was insane! He blasted Aard as fast as possible through it was draining his energy, normal witchers could do this for a while, he was not normal. He was less than normal, he was weaker and more agile. This made him wish he was a full witcher, he danced around the fire like he was in a ball listening to music, Flipping, and prancing around the fire blasting the ground with Aard with all his might. The fire was getting weaker but not fast enough! He knew he was not the best, though he was assisted by a spray of water that left him and the fire soaked. He looked around to see what caused the fire and his cat eyes narrowed, Broken glass, a faint smell of alcohol. His eyes picked up traits common to A struggle, Random broken glass, his nose picked up the faint smell of blood. This wasn't an accident, This train was attacked, He looked at the windows and his eyes widened in realization. He saw arrows on the outside of the train, Broken glass under the windows, he sighed. This was an attack by bandits, and by the looks of it, well-armed bandits. A gryphoness entered the room and took one look at the soaking Mayra and laughed.
He chuckled also, Then she got her serious look and asked, "Do you know why this happened?"
He sighed and nodded, "All traits are common for a well-armed group of bandits, though where they are and how many are pointless. All I know is this fire was no accident, they shot out the windows and then fired well a fire arrow into this room igniting the alcohol. Apparently, there was a bar fight right before the attack, It couldn't be a coincidence. The timing and the fact that none of the alcohol has been cleaned makes me suspect an inside job. Also by the fact, there was a fire in the other room and not just here, makes me believe someone wanted this train to burn. But who and why? What motive would be so important?"
The Gryphoness sighed, "Well just call me Sierra, is one of the delegates to Equestria, most ponies think Griffins are just blind mindless fools or worse money hoarders who would do anything for the extra cash. I hated that, Though you seem different almost like that Dragon, wolf, and Pony I saw in the Capitol." Dragon and Wolf? Ahh I see Akky you stinky genius. Join a government and your face will be all over the planet than all your friends can find you, you have always been a genius.
"Yes I am actually part of his team, Akky Wolf, is the name he most likely gave you am I correct?" Sierra frowned and nodded, "Well JUst between you and me his full name is actually Akky ZexHro Zex meaning starry and Hro meaning sky. He calls himself Starry night though it's like his nickname, ZexMefro, Wolf language is something I lack in. I was not trained in wolf talk, so I may have mispronounced some of it." Sierra's jaw dropped.
"If you know him so well who are you!?" 3 options, Vinicio, Jeettendra, or -
"Mayra the Lost Witcher of the School of Dragon." Sierra gasped, and stared at Mayra, she was warned of his might it seems. Defeating Akky in a one-on-one fight with only one sword, its worthy of praise, it's like a human taming a Dragon. It's just impossible, though he did it.
"Akky wants to know about Tonrunn, Is she okay?" Mayra nodded and walked out of the train with Sierra behind him.
"She is fine, I don't allow anything to hurt my allies if I can help it." They reached the woods and Mayra shouted, "Tonrunn we have a visitor who will help us get to father." The little wolf jumped out of a bush taking Sierra by surprise.
Tonrunn was just a normal Grey wolf but one main difference, was her eyes larger than most wolf species also her fur was actually covered in galaxies, though they only show at night under unnatural light. Like Fires or flashlights, moonlight is also capable of showing the Galaxies ad they seem to glow in the dark, after absorbing enough light. They are often called Celestial Or Galaxy wolfs, their fur is considered priceless and sold at extremely high prices, Often in the millions. This is why their species are hunted for their pelts, though while Tonrunn is the last of these wolves she will not be the last.
"Daddy?! Where is he miss Griffins?" Sierra's eyes widened, and her jaw dropped, She's so adorable! In an instant, she hugged the small wolf making the pup yelp in surprise. Mayra did nothing as he did not feel hostile intent.
"Oh, she's so adorable! I wish I had a cub that looked like you!" Tonrunn blushed but hugged back.
"I wonder how daddy is doing?" That question made Sierra wince and both Mayra and Tonrunn sigh. "I see Pa is in a bad way?" Sierra nodded, "He can be so stupid sometimes. We all know this. When can we go see him?"
Sierra sighed and looked at the burning train, "Since train would be faster than a boat, and the train is out of commission, For ponies that train would a few days to repair. Sadly for most of this sad lot, it will take a few days to get the crafters here and another week to get it finished while waiting for proper supplies. So in total two weeks, And Akky really wants to see you." Mayra thought for a second before speaking.
"What about a boat?" The Griffin shuddered.
"That is a no go, recently something strange entered these waters. It sings a lovely song and it seems to hypnotize prey before eating it." A siren? Seriously.
"Maybe I should pay this creature a visit? After all, this is what I was made for, OH, and by the way, it's a siren. A creature that attacks anyone and its song is used to, well not hypnotize, the song is used to attract others. I have found no evidence that it mind controls anything. So I take care of this Siren and you either pay me or get me a ride, I'm so terribly short on money, If you please?" Sierra nodded, then he looked to Tonrunn, "Come on Kiddo." Sierra's jaw dropped.
"If you take her please let me follow!"
Mayra looked at her and sighed, "Fine! Just do what Tonrunn does and stay out of my way please?" Sierra nodded, "Good, Now show me where these reports have been found."
Sierra lead the group to the Ocean to a ledge, they missed the town by a few miles, though that was not his concern. The Cliff was 100 feet up from the ocean, Not dangerous if the water was deep enough, but could prove deadly if shallow. The area around them was clear of trees, and actually looked unstable, nothing but dirt and grass.
"Why are we here?" Sierra sighed, oh this should be good.
"This Siren seems to only be around at night." Typical monsters. "Though I have found a way to summon one, one day when a fishing crew was searching the coast, they found a Corpse of a pony half ate, we investigated and the pony was looking for gems inside a cave. This cave is right below us, So I assume that Siren lives in the caves." Mayra sighed in annoyance.
"Fine!"
Climbing down the cliff was quite difficult for Mayara, being untrained in his new body and also have no idea how to fly in any capacity. He was not Akky who had a great understanding of how to fly but was just unable to actually put his training to use. So like any idiot who tried to climb down a cliff, he fell, being unskilled and also a weaker 'Witcher' than some of his brothers. He promptly hit the ground like a brick, his air was pushed from his lungs, causing him to silently gasp in pain. He saw Sierra look down at him in concern, "You okay?! I Still do not understand why you didn't at least glide down."
'Probably because I do not trust these wings yet." He thought, he rolled to his claws and checked his body for any significant injury. 'Being a failed witcher has downsides, my healing is halved my bones are weaker, and not to mention I have emotions.' He smiled slightly, 'I am so glad the Elder Witchers decided to do that test and did it on me. It would have a higher success rate while also making me similar to Witchers.' He shook his head. He walked forward before spotting the cave that held whatever creature remained inside it. He slipped out his Silversword, a very ornate silver sword. One he has held for almost all his life, he had no idea what to expect or what this monster may be, so he had to see what it was before he can make any tactical decisions.
He peeked his head around the corner of the cave and saw...nothing, his eyes would not pick out anything. He saw the inside of the cave of course, but there was nothing inside. 'Huh this is odd, most monsters are not intelligent enough to cover their tracks. This cave is baren, so what the hell is going on, it almost seems like a setup, but what would she gain for setting me up? She would be given money from Akky when she led us to him, and also would likely have favor from Akky or whoever. Having Favor with Akky is quite an amazing thing, it would mean she could have him do certain jobs without having to pay him. So what could this be?'
His pupils narrowed, as his eyesight adjusted to the darkness of the cave. His silversword giving off a faint, cobalt blue glow, he was prepared for a fight. He held his sword in his claw before spinning the blade uselessly, 'It seems this was a mistake.'
He looked behind him before shouting, "There is nothing inside this cave whatsoever, In fact, it is quite baren." He heard Sierra shout something the lines of 'Fucking liars.'
He turned around, well almost his senses screamed at him to dodge, He tried but it was too late. Something slammed him in the ribs sending him flying into a wall, he grunted from the impact. He blinked the daze from his eyes, to see two very wild animalist eyes glaring at him. He saw his sword beside him and he grabbed it before thrusting the blade into the chest of the creature, only to hit the air. To say he was mildly confused was an understatement, he pushes himself back to all fours. He was checking each and every movement inside the cave, 'Whatever this thing is it can turn invisible, that means I am quite weak in this fight. I will win though, I have to.' He growled, and he fired off a wave Aard. The weak wave of telekinesis, pushing something invisible back by evidence from the dirt/sand spraying from the ground. His focus honed in on that evidence and he launched forward, his sword spun in his claw before he swung with intent to kill.
His blade struck flesh, the poison rune inside the blade was doing its work Mayra chose this time to swap swords. He sheathed his silversword while the monster was stunned, to swap to his Steel/Titanium hybrid sword. his sword is one of kind because again because he requested to have a sword that was similar to Akkies, who has a sword made from lightning crystal. His sword exited the sheath smoothly, the blade was heavier than the average steel sword but much more sturdy. He launched forward his sword in his grip, he slashed at where the creature once was to only hit the air again.
He grunted, not willing to be attacked again. Whatever it was it hit like a damn Elemental, and those things hurt. He backed to a wall again, not allowing himself to be snuck attacked again. His ears picked up a faint sound, His eyes narrowed and he pounced in the direction the sound came from. His blaze whizzed until it struck flesh, the blade's weight knocked whatever was there back and possibly broke some bones. He danced away from where the creature was and followed the momentum of his sword. Only to receive what could only be described as a soul-rending scream, his ears rang and his eyes teared up from the pain. Whatever this was had some loud vocals, and he did not like it. "Fine, you made me do this!"
He ran into a corner and used Yrden he placed the trap in one location and turned his back to it, This would give the creature a chance to fall into his trap. While normally Yrden would be useless in this situation, it was perfect because the only path in were two narrow walkways. So the creature must walk through him or the trap, he has to be careful. He kept his eyes in front of him, ignoring the trap and using all his senses to detect even the slightest change. He was rewarded as he saw paw prints in the sand, small prints. His muscles coiled like a spring and he launched forward with all his speed and strength, his blade sunk into flesh and he heard a weak cry of pain. He saw blood spray from where the blade impacted, and whatever made the creature invisible failed, showing a skinny feathered creature with complete wild eyes. Eyes filled with rage and hatred, He also noticed that each attack was successful, blood was pouring from this creature like a river but it refused to fall. As quickly as the creature appeared it disappeared again, leaving behind a bloodied leg. He cut the creature's leg off, Now the creature will fall into his trap, or it will bleed out. That kind of injury is a life-threatening situation, It either wishes to perish to remove its suffering or it wishes to kill him before it falls.
Though he had other plans, and for some reason, it was not to kill it, something inside his soul said not to. He sighed, as he grasped the creature's leg he examined it. It was Soft padded similar to Akky/Sombre paw, but it also was skinny with powerful muscles. The more he examined the leg the more it intrigued him, It had sparkly skin, that almost reflected the limited light in the area. Suddenly he heard a shrill scream that indicated the trap had worked, He also heard a loud thump as the creature fell over unconscious. He put his bloodied sword in his sheath, he would have to clean it later.
He got up and walked over to the unconscious creature, he pulled out a potion made for him that enhanced his healing. He put the potion to the creature's mouth and it swallowed, he studied it as the injuries it acquired slowly faded. He smiled in satisfaction, right before he slumped with a tired sigh.
He heard wing flaps and looked up to see Sierra who looked at the creature with a snarl, before turning to look at Mayra. "I will take that creature so I can execute it-" She had no words at what happened next Mayra rolled forward in a second and put his blood-stained titanium sword to her throat.
He only spoke one word but it held such a firm resolve that make Sierra shake in fear, "No." And that was all he had to say, Even her guards were surprised by his movement, he moved like a blur.
Sierra gulped, "Do you plan to kill yourself?" Her voice wavered at his firm eyes, which didn't show anything that showed his intention.
"Again No, something about this creature doesn't anger me it makes me pity it, I will be keeping it Akky would love to see it. He will also give you twice the pay if it is alive otherwise he will pay you nothing, not even returning us." Sierra nodded but gave a wry chuckle.
"I thought you have cut my head off." Mayara smiled, he shook his head.
"I like you, so I wouldn't, I would just have knocked you out before leaving." Sierra still looked surprised, "Now when can I get a trip to Akky?"
"Tomorrow."
I just woke up and saw Mira next to me. "Hey, my Pretty Dragon what happened?"
Mira instantly awoke and gave a startled scream. "Akky!"
"Yeah, what? Oh please don't say I grew new wings that are useless."
"Oh no you have been unconscious for nearly a week, I was soon going to Canterlot in your stead but it seems with you awake that will not be needed."
Author's Note
Sorry for the wait, had other stories.
The next chapter Chapter #10 will be welcome to Canterlot! and will our Hero Akky have a peaceful trip, when has he ever had one.
I woke up the next morning already in pain, using all my energy and nearly dying from blood loss can do that after all. So I had an idea, food, I was starving. Though one thought came to mind, ponies are herbivores and, as a wolf, I am a Carnivore. So I had to find someplace to find me proper food, every creature on this planet is sentient, self-aware. So what could I eat?! My stomach rumbled, I groaned in anguish. It feels like I haven't eaten in days?!
"What the hell, why is it so hard to find me any food?!" I shouted.
I heard mumbling beside me, and I looked over to find a purple unicorn and a familiar-looking dragon. 'So Twilight Sparkle stayed with me the whole night? Odd. Though I should be acting like my normal emotionless self, I don't wish for them to be confused, even though I know not why I have my emotions active again.'
"Hello, Miss Twilight, why are you here?" I asked in a confused tone, and as if my words were a switch, the purple unicorn yelped and jumped from the seat she was sleeping on. I chuckled and looked at her flustered face.
"Well you see, Sir Akky-" I grimaced from that title, "-I was told by Celestia to come to tell you will be departing to Canterlot with me and girls. When I saw that you were still asleep, I kinda...." I blinked in confusion.
"Anyway, Miss Twilight,-"
"Oh please, Twilight is fine, we are friends, right?" Friends?
My eyes widened when I heard her call us friends, 'Why would anyone wish to be friends with the creature of Apocolypse?'
"I um..." I was speechless, though Twilight saw my hesitation.
"If that is okay with, Sir Akky."
"I do not have friends, it is difficult."
Twilight looked shocked, "Why do you not have any friends?"
"It is because of my near-emotionless attitude, it is difficult to make friends when one does not laugh or smile." 'Though for some reason my emotions, that I had sealed, have returned with a vengeance.'
"That's okay, Sir Akky,-" I cut her off, "Please remove the sir, I am not special any longer I lost my title long ago." She continued, "-Okay Akky, well the girls will meet you at the Train station." With that Twilight turned and left the hospital room.
I looked over to the still sleeping dragon and grunted before shouting, "Wake up Mina!" She shot up like a bullet when she landed, she turned and gave a death glare.
"Jerk, I was having a good dream!" I raised an eyebrow, she growled.
"Were you now?" She nodded, "Then I am sorry to disturb you, though I am hungry, and we are going to Canterlot soon. I wish to eat before we travel on those annoying machines, though that may be a bad idea."
She snickered, "Yeah you have motion sickness Akky, you would eat and regret it after, so no food until we reach Canterlot."
I sighed weakly, "Aye." With that I rolled out of bed and slipped my tattered clothing on, I soon saw my broken sword leaning on the wall and grimaced. "I need a blacksmith." I slipped the sword into its sheath even though it was now useless, I could fix it later. I tried to push the hospital doors open right before a spike of pain interrupted me making me gasp for air, "Mina, door, please." I pleaded weakly.
Mina had to open every single door for me, as it would seem, even the slightest pressure on my ribs causes intense pain. I followed behind Mina, limping my body was having a difficult time even moving. So I soon asked Mina to carry me, she agreed it would be a good idea and she placed me on her back.
We exited the hospital and made our way to the train station both of us getting odd looks, Some fearful, others curious, and only a few with awe. When he made it to the train station both my and Mina's ears perked, someone was arguing.
"Look I get it Rainbow you are scared the Akky is hostile, though you have no proof, you are concerned for your friend's safety. Trust me when I say Akky is not a rabid animal, you are acting as though he is just waiting to strike, that is a foolish assumption." Came the smooth voice of Mirach, it seemed Rainbow was hostile towards me.
"I do not care how peaceful you think he is, the only reason I do not flatten him is that I would be in prison-" She was cut off by Mirach's growl of contempt.
"I was saying Akky could and would erase you from existence If he wanted any of you dead. You wouldn't even have a chance, he can crush your heart just looking at you, I would know he done it to me once." Rainbow was silent, "In fact, he wouldn't hurt your friends unless YOU attack him, but then it would be too late because everyone you love and care for would be dead. So drop the subject, and go be friends."
I growled, "Mirach enough, you know full well I do not harm anyone who does not harm others. The only reason I used heart attack was that you attempted to skewer me, it was not pleasant to anyone involved either." My words caused Mirach to jump and look at me in confusion, "I have no wish to harm her or the ponies she calls friends, I have a different mission." Mirach nodded, "Good. Now how well are you trained with your sword?"
"Yeah, I have gotten better Twilight loaned me a book on sword training, it was embarrassing, good thing you were not there."
"Aye, I would have teased you relentlessly, The greatest swordsman in the southern realms, a warrior who could not even hold thy blade straight." I chuckled, MIna laughed. "Though that aside." I turned my head and looked at the fuming Rainbowdash, "You really do have a Rainbow as your mane." Smoke started to drift from her nostrils, I sighed. "Mina set me down, please?"
Mina sat me down on my injured legs, my legs shook, but I stood firm.
Mirach saw what was about to happen and pulled Mina back, "This is going to end badly, Akky is too weak to properly fight and Rainbow is quite fast."
Mina sighed, "Have faith in our leader, he will push himself till he is successful as he always has."
Mirach grunted, "That is what I am worried about,"
I grunted as I expelled all my energy at once, a huge pressure wave formed pushing the grass back, a carter formed under my paws. Rainbows eyes widened in fear as if instead of looking at a small wolf she was seeing a huge blood-soaked dragon ready to consume her. Soon Rainbow's vision returned and she saw the wolf again only now his eyes were now glowing white, runes of magic floated around his body. I pushed out more and more power, The stars covering my dark grey fur started to move and shimmer. I pulled all my power back inside me, just as quickly as the light show started it ended.
"You see what I am talking about dash?" I said to the fear-stricken pony whose jaw worked with no sound. "If I had any hostile intentions you would have seen your own demise by my paws, So next time you try to intimidate someone make sure they are not your betters."
I walked past Rainbow Dash, the pony seemed to have broken out of the fear and turned to look at me with wide eyes, she noticed I was no longer limping. From the second forward she vowed to never make Akky angry, she did not wish to see his wrath when he was at full power. Even she could sense his power was empty, and that frightened her, so what did he just do and how?!
I walked to the train station, I saw 4 ponies. One was completely pink, the second pony was orange with a blonde mane and tail wearing a Stetson hat. The third pony was white with an odd purple mane and tail. The fourth was A yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail. He wondered where twilight was, that was until he felt something give out inside his body. Blood sprayed from his mouth and he cringed in pain, 'I shouldn't have done overdrive...my body was not ready.'
I wiped the blood from my mouth and sighed, "Where is Twilight?" I said slowly and carefully.
The orange pony perked up, "Oh, you see she's behind you." I looked behind me and saw two purple eyes staring into my face.
My response was, "Oh."
Twilight smiled, "Well That's Pinkie pie." She pointed to the completely pink pony, 'who would have guessed?' "That's Applejack." she pointed to the orange pony with a stetson hat. 'Ah so the pony with three apples on her flank has a name related to apples, I could have guessed that.' "That's Fluttershy." She pointed to the Yellow pegasus, 'Alright I got nothing.' "And that is Rarity," She pointed to the white mare.
"You all have weird names but mine is the weirdest, so I have no room to talk." I looked at the train and cringed, "Oh this trip is gonna suck..."
Twilight looked at me curiously as she walked onto the train platform, "Why is that Akky?"
"I have motion sickness." Was my response, everyone, or everypony looked at me oddly. "Like really bad."
Twilight looked thoughtful, "What can we do to remedy that?"
"Luckily I haven't eaten in days so I will not throw up, So that is a plus." Everypony looked at me with a concerned stare, "What it hasn't been the first time."
"Yeah, maybe Akky but you are already quite small and skinny. I mean for apple sake you look more akin to a foal than an adult pony, you should east more to grow."
'What is a foal?' My mind rattled with answers, 'Wait don't tell me?' I looked at their faces and for sure, they assumed I was an adult. "Oh, no I am only 12 years old." I looked away and stepped onto the train, with an indifferent expression. Oblivious of the looks of horror behind me.
"Wow, he's so young, though he acts so old." Twilight said in awe before her voice shifted in horror, "I can see his scars all over his body and he even has skills with a blade that could rival any of the best swordspony."
I sat on a seat and curled up, almost instantly falling asleep. I pushed all the energy that I had into healing my body, I knew it would take a while as my body was severely injured. So I fell asleep, into blissful sleep.
I was jolted awake, I murmured weakly, "H-huh?" I rubbed my eyes with a paw, "D-Daddy? M-Mommy?" I was inside a room made of wood, a room I knew all too well. I was inside The Royal Winged Clans Castle, "Father." I knew what this was, it was another damn nightmare.
I pushed off my bed and looked around trying to see any light that the castle normally let off, what I saw was frightening, the castle was completely dark. "Father?!" "Mother?!" I moved slowly, my paws hitting the stone ground making no noise. I came to the door that lead into my room, I opened the door, only for a hand to grab me by the throat. I gasped for air as the hand-applied pressure.
"Look what we have here, it's a pup, how much money do you-" The monster froze in place because of its fear at seeing my fur, when his friend with a torch came. They saw the stars all across my fur, "This is the one."
I heard a loud snarl and suddenly felt a warm liquid spray across my face, suddenly the hand holding my throat loosened. I fell to the ground rasping, I looked up and saw a Red wolf with a golden crown on his head, I knew who this was. "Father!"
I awoke from the dream and sighed, "I hate those memories."
"Hey, Akky are you awake yet?" I heard the muffled voice of Twilight, "We are close to Canterlot."
"Yeah, I am awake. What am I supposed to do anyway?"
"Well Celestia said you will be getting Royal Medical attention, and after that, you will be staying in Canterlot until you heal completely."
"Do I have to?" I groaned, "I don't wanna!"
I heard Twilight giggle, "Yes you have to, don't worry, she isn't mean or anything."
"That's not my concern, I hate nobles."
The train suddenly stopped making my stomach do a flip, my cheeks bulged, I had to resist the urge to throw up.
"Well, here we are, Canterlot."
"Also I wonder why are your friends giving me weird looks?"
"Oh..." She sighed, "I do not know." She was really bad a lying, but I didn't want to cause issues, so I ignored it. I just shrugged.
"Well, It's fine as long as I get help, after all, it was her sister who did this to me." I sighed, "Though I do not hold grudges it was particularly painful."
Well, hopefully, today ends better. I do not enjoy being poked and prodded.
