Author's Note

So this is a new one for me now I like to be detailed so that I can give the mind something to grasp, and let you as the reader become immersed in the story.
With that being said there will be a lot of detailed areas where I will do my best to be descriptive, so you all can not only read this, and go "This is pretty good", but say "Wow I can actually imagine this".
Also I won't do pictures to often I find them distracting.

And for future reference any, and all music in this series is not mine the songs will be given credit to their respective artists.

The King's awakening

•The demon king's return•

Prisoners P.O.V

I focused on the surrounding area, as I listened to the sound of footsteps heading my way.
I listened intently to it, then realized something if someone is here, then my girls need me, and something was wrong.

I looked at the other six statues my cold stone eyes never shifting, and told them in our mind.
"Saddle up ladies, I think the girls need us, so when we are set free make sure we look pretty".

In unison the other's replied in unison.
"Yessir".

I changed my attention to the other one in the room, and called it out.
"Shadow front, and center".

The shadows began to shift until the silhouette of someone stood in front of me.
"Hey Skuggi I need you to go up top, and lead the visitors down here, and help them release us".

The silhouette stood straight, and did a salute making it's way upstairs.
I watched it leave, and waited for it to return.

Twi P.O.V

Me, and the others followed the strange shadow to a hallway it would turn, and wave for us to follow.
As we walked we were lead to a door that lead into a set of stairs heading down towards somewhere deeper in the castle.
We all looked at each other, then down into the almost endless darkness the stairs went down into.
As we transversed the depths it began getting colder the further we went down, Discord started looking more, and more nervous as we continued on.
We reached a room in it was the if not scariest, then the creepiest thing anypony could ever see, as we stepped in some torches lit up, and before us was seven statues of the seven, six stood at either side of the room in various positions, behind them were large barrels, but the seventh stood at the very end, and it was the creepiest of them all it even made Pinkie's hair deflate.
Discord however began to shake, I started to feel like we were all being watched by the lifeless eyes of the statues the one on the end facing the entrance radiated something from it like pure hate, and just felt plain evil like the worst forces from the deepest depths of tartarus were put together into one being.

I began to approach the last statue, and as I got closer I took in it's details more it looked like it was trying to attack, or go after something, and the only thing stopping it was the shackles, but the shackles didn't sit on wrists, but bone the arms appeared devoid of flesh, and half it's face, I looked at it's hands they were just gnarly bones held by Celestia knows what. It looked like there was a shiny sword shoved through it's chest the sword wasn't like the rest of the body, but in fact it was shiny, and untouched by the sands of time as if it were just recently made.

I turned back to the other's, and spoke out my discovery.
"Girls look at this one it's like princess Luna said removed that which binds him to his stone prison".

The girls nodded, and began to look at the statue Rainbow dash looked at the blade, and shrugged she reached for it, but when she pulled it wouldn't move applejack stood in front of it looking the blade over Rainbow dash kept pulling trying to get the thing to move, but to no avail.
The others walked around looking at the statues they all looked somewhat similar to the one they were trying to release, but they were all dressed different the two furthest from the lone statue were dressed in strange outfits one looked like it was wearing armor much like the neighponese warriors would the weapons also looked fitting of the armor, and the other was dressed more differently like it was wearing clothes best fit for the winter it's large body standing in a offensive position with empty hands.
The next were opposites wore a bowl shaped helmet doing some form of salute with one hand it's body covered with pockets, and other statue across it looked like it got shocked one hand held out the other making a claw like guesture.
The last two were the more worring ones the one on the left was in a offensive position like it's relative down the row, but it was like a monster they never seen before the flesh looked like it was rotting away with a set of large bat like wings opened wide, with large claws, and teeth like razors. The final one looked as if it's whole body was made of stone not just literally, but as if it's current state was all to natural for it's appearance.

She called to rainbow dash to as she continuedto struggle with the sword.
"Rainbow darling I believe that tugging isn't helping any".

Rainbow looked over at Rarity, and let it go.
"Then he do you think we should get it out"?

Twilight looked around the statue, then noticed something the sword was missing a peice a small part of the hand guard was gone she called to the others to look around, and find anything that would fit the sword. Everyone including Discord quickly looked around trying to find whatever piece they needed.
After some time of searching none of them found anything Twilight was about to give up hope, when suddenly she noticed one part of the door didn't fit she used her magic, and illuminated the area as she walked closer to it, and found a shiny piece of metal attached to the door she grabbed it, and it came off with no problem. She quickly rushed it to the sword, and connected the piece to the hand guard the crack glowed, and fixed itself twilight reached for the handle, and pulled the blade moved freely she, then pulled it more the blade slowly slide out until it came free she dropped the sword to the ground not only from the weight, but also the sudden shaking, and cracking sound coming from the statue.

The yelling got louder, until the stone began to crack, and start falling apart.
The other six statues moved as well they began to do as the lone one did, then one by one they began to break the stone from their bodies, and shortly after dissipate into the shadows, that began to move towards the now somewhat moving statue, being absorbed into it.

Prisoners P.O.V

I watched, as the ponies walked into my cellar, and saw Discord with them I wanted to say something, but just watched in forced silence, and watched the purple one approach me, and tell her friends what to do, I saw as they got everything set up, and when they were done I felt the stone prison I was trapped in start breaking.
"It's showtime baby".
I began to start to fight the stone breaking it as the strength returned to my body.
"Yeaahh"!

Third person P.O.V

The mane six backed away from the statue as the yelling got louder, then the others began to do the same, and start to shake, and crack.
Then the stone finally broke off his body, and he stood before them in his full glory the Black fury T-shirt he wore, the blue jeans, and brown steel toes now free from their frozen state. The shackles once holding him back snapped, and fell off the once other statues all reformed from shadows outside his body they looked to the visitors, then paid them no mind as they returned to their master back inside of his body.
The chain that had been coming from his body retracted into it like metal snakes.

Prisoner P.O.V

I focused all if my willpower, and strength into my muscles slowly watching the others return to me, and the stone breaking around me until finally we all became one, and became free from our prison.
I stepped forward after my counterparts were reabsorbed into my body, and looked at my visitors.
"What brings you to my home"m
I stepped towards them, and stumbled before catching my footing.
My chains retracted into my body, waiting for the time to be used.
I walked to the visitors.
"Where is Celestia, and Luna",

The purple one stepped forward, and spoke first she appeared to be a alicorn which was weird.
"We were sent here by princesses Celestia, and Luna they were captured by Tirek who plans to take all the magic from equestria, and take the throne".

I listened to her words, but when I heard this Tirek had Celestia, and Luna I felt a rage I haven't felt in a long time.
I began to walk up to the throne room to see what was going on there could be no way.
I listened to the seven follow me as I watched, and when i walked out i couldn't believe my eye.
As I walked to my throne when I walked outside I saw the castle in ruins, but our eats remained I walked over to mine collected my things they disappeared as I did like i was going to put them away, and sat down with a huff.
"I can't believe it our home is gone, and they left me here smart girls".

I ran my hand over my spear Gungnir the weapon of the all-father Óđinn.
I raised my spear up, and dropped the pommel down to the ground with a loud boom I did this a few more times until I felt something coming big coming close.
I stood up, and grabbed my phone from the yellow one, and my hat from the orange one, then ran off into the forest towards the force.
I took my phone, and looked it over, then stuck it in my pocket. I raced to find a good place to prepare for my battle not for the sake of my kingdom, but the sake of those I love. I ran slashing away branches, and vines with my Katana making a path to our secret hiding spot where I first arrived in the meadow so many years ago.
"It's time to do your duty not only as a man, but as a husband, and a soldier it's time to let those who choose evil know the king is back".
