Eternal prisoner P.O.V
“Where am I, why can’t I move”?
I stayed thinking to myself, as I awoke from my slumber.
“Y-y-y-you are in the c-c-c-astle still m-m-master."
A voice spoke out much like my own, but with a slight shiver in it.
“Castle what castle frost?"
I thought to myself, as I heard Frost speak.
Another spoke up this one more gravelly, and deep.
“Your wives master Ladies Celestia, and Luna."
“Oh that’s right, thanks Rock."
I started to make out the shapes of everything, then my vision came back completely.
I looked at the six statues lined up on either side of the cellar he was in the barrels, of hooch sitting behind them. I thought back to the events that brought me there, but I was snapped from my thoughts by the sound of someone moving my seat upstairs.
•The throne room•
Twilight P.O.V
I tried to comprehend what I was just told that discord had summoned a demon for another world.
“So let me get this straight, you summoned a being from another world that was a demon, what is wrong with you?"
Discord crossed his arms at the question.
“Oh course I did, I’m the element of chaos, remember, and weren’t you listening? So I summoned two demons I just didn’t know they were demons. The one that I first met didn’t bring it up until it tried to overthrow me however the other wasn’t, so subtle."
I looked at him slightly confused, then I realized what he meant. The first being he summoned it was a demon too.
“How did you find out what the other one was”?
He shivered at an apparently uncomfortable memory, then pressed on with the story as he continued to recall the events of that day.
“Some time while the princesses were trying to overthrow me, and take back the throne he appeared from nowhere, and hit me with something of course curious we all looked, and saw him standing there with blood dripping from his mouth, and the arm of the other demon in his hand."
“That’s a bunch of horse apples that’s not true the princesses beat you fair, and square. And the other demon's arm please you're saying this thing ate one of it's own?"
Rainbow dash chimed in while helping Pinkie investigate the spot she was talking about.
“Uh rainbow ah don’ think he’s lyin’ sugarcube I know when somepony lies he ain’t."
Applejack threw in as she looked over the two visible thrones.
“Wait, but in the stories, and legends it says-" I was cut off by Discord speaking over me.
“Well the legends also don’t say that they are apparently friends with him, do they?"
Discord stated, as a matter of factly with his arms while looking at us all.
All of us stopped, and looked at him in shock at his words.
“The princesses friends with a demon Discord darling we know you like to joke, but that kind of joke would be taken seriously if we were any other pony right applejack?"
Rarity looked at applejack in more shock as she saw the scepticism on her face.
“Right darling?"
She asked the farm pony again this time a bit more concerned. Applejack didn’t answer rarity, only stared at Discord in disbelief she thought it all over, and suddenly many things started making sense.
“How do you know they’re friends with it huh what if you’re just mistaken?"I said trying to defuse the thoughts my friends were having about the princesses.
Discord just shook his head his arms remaining crossed as he kept his serious tone.
“No Twilight think about it they asked you to bring back a being a unknown warrior to fight Tirek everything points to it, so it is the demon I am right?"
I looked at him in shock. I couldn’t believe my ears he was serious, but how would the princesses of our kingdom be willing to befriend such a dangerous creature.
All the while everyone was talking to Discord Pinkie searched around, and found a small hole in the ground, and stuck a piece of metal she found nearby, then put it in the hole. There was a low rumble, then the sound of something moving she looked up, and saw the floor was opening up, and that we were looking at her.
We all had different reactions rarity, and I got our magic ready in case the castle was coming down, or there was a attack, Rainbow dash was in a fighting position, Applejack did the same, but with a stick she found Fluttershy hid behind Discord as he just stood there watching the spot Pinkie was at. She hopped up from her kneeling position, and stood up quickly she walked over to us looking at the opening floor.
“Look I think I found it."
She said as she smiled at us with a cheerful look in her eyes.
I looked at Pinkie as the floor between the thrones opened up, and after it opened something began rising out of it.
There rising up from it’s hiding place was a throne of metal, and bone two dragon skulls sat on the top facing the two thrones at it’s sides the arm rests were bone arms, and hands from ponies of some form, and the rest was rib cages, and various other parts slapped together into a throne.
Upon it however is what had us a baffled us all there were these strange things on it some identifiable as swords of a sort three of them looked a awful lot like neighponese swords, each longer than the other the other was a type of longsword by the sheer length almost as tall as applejack, there was a ax it was elongated at the bottom of the blade was simple, and plain but obviously heavy that sat on top of what Pinkie said looked like a shield with a strange design on it. It looked like a monsters head with a pair of runes in its forehead the edges of the shield looked like the blade to a number mill.
Then there were two other weapons that were strange in shape, and size one was small, with a long end, and a short curved wooden handle, and a cylinder in it, with a little thing on the back looking like a lever, and another in a somewhat enclosed spot on it the other it was long and like the other had a tube, but unlike the small one it didn’t have a curved handle on it, but more elongated like something that you would settle into a crevice, or something of the sort.
There was also a large bow that was curved near the ends, and a quiver made of what looked like leather, filled with thick arrows.
Lastly sat a small black leatherbound book with odd print on the front. It had a simple looking lock with a small metal hand that sat on the cover, and next to it was a hat much like applejack’s, only there looked like a sort of reptile’s skin around it.
In front of the throne sat a large spear as tall as discord, and very well decorated it was clearly heavy, and the way it looked like it was made must have taken a very long time.
I spoke up, and broke the silence.
“What is all this”?
“That is the throne of bones, and I remember the guns on it I would recommend none touches any of the weapons they are cursed."
"How do you know Discord?" I asked, but Discord answered my question, and never moved his eyes from the spear he reached over to try, and pull it, but it didn’t budge he tried magic, and it didn’t seem to work either, so he left it be.
"Because I was around even after I fell he said to Princess Celestia himself that whoever touched his weapons that weren't of his blood, or given permission would instantly suffer a painful death."
Rainbow dash walked from where she stood, and grabbed a scabbard to a obviously large sword without removing it from the seat, it was as black as a starless night not a hint of light.
“Sweet Celestia this thing is huge how would anypony even carry the sword that goes with it”?
Applejack walked over, and looked a hat that looked much like her's she placed it on her head then used a finger to move the smaller of the guns a bit before letting it rest again.
“Say Twi these are some funny lookin’ things”.
Fluttershy looked at the seat in fear.
Pinkie reached for one of the neighponese swords, but was stopped by Twilight who had waved a finger in her face.
“Don't touch anything Pinkie remember what Discord said."
I shifted the large two headed axe, and the strange shield in her magic aside from the odd edge the shield looked like a traditional equestrian shield.
"Fascinating these are so familiar to our traditional weapons."
Rarity looked the bow, and it’s quiver in her magic admiring the intricate carvingings in them, and the craftsmanship, then noticed something there was a shadow standing in front of them.
“I think someone is here with us darlings”.
I turned to look where she was looking, and froze I couldn’t believe my eyes until it moved, and made it’s way towards a doorway it stopped, and waved a hand slowly for us to follow before disappearing.
We all looked at each other, and decided to follow it to where ever we were being led too.
We all left the things we had seen back in their places. Twilight grabbed the book to look at it a bit more as she followed after her friends, and they followed after the shadow, that began to lead them down a dark stairway.
Author's Note
So this was a old idea of mine now a heads up here this is all in a different universe, and time line of the actual show it's after many events, but before even more of them.
I know that doesn't make sense, but trust me it will make sense eventually.
