The crimson sky gleamed upon his armor as the caravan passed by. A group of changelings guiding it.
At the front was General Fang, shouting at his army, urging them to get their butts moving. "Come on you fools! We won’t make it to the base at this speed!"
Suddenly an armored warrior striked out at a Changeling with a spiked crystal chain. The Changeling screams fading almost instantly as it turned into a black crystalline statue of itself. Silenced by it new fate. General Fang, being as perceptive as he was, looks towards the noise noticing one of their own gone. And as he holds a hoof up to slow the caravan, another chain rushes out from the shadows of everfree crystallizing the driver. General Fang, now coming to the realization of an attack, pulls out his crossbow and takes aim towards the area of the supposed threat.
General Fang cleared his throat and shouted outwards in hopes to reveal the threat "Come out now, or die!" He ordered, hoping that the threat would fall for it and reveal itself. And reveal itself it did. A chilling laugh breaks the silence as a black and red trimmed armored stallion stepped out. It's mane just wisps of shadows and with eyes the color of blood. It's name was Karsia, the embodiment of sombras malice.
General Fang stood there in terror at this mysterious creature that somehow seemed to seep out of thin air! Like he actually Came out of it! Fang thought. Launching his bolt, fang watches as the projectile goes right through him. Stricken with even worse fear, General Fang looks back at the caravan and rushes to it, realizing the danger of this foe. Karsia, watching gleefully as he opens the door and rushes in, slowly stalks forward, following him into the caravan. Silent as a ghost. Upon entering he sees Fang holding a filly with a green mane and tail at bowpoint. Karsia could sense the book's power radiating from her. This was what he came for.
General Fang stood there, shaking, but not afraid to take the shot. This wasn't what Karsia expected, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was what he came for. "Leave or she dies… Metasoma knows who you are… karsia! And he isn't afraid to destroy what you are looking for. Consider this your only warning!" Fang said, his voice full of delightful fear.
Karsia then grinned, his perfect white serrated teeth showing as he stepped closer to fang. "Impressive. For a General… setting up such a predictable trap. But that still will not save you. However… if you Let her go… I promise to let your death be quick…"
They stood staring at each other, Neither making a move as Fangs mind racing between betrayal and obedience. Suddenly the air in the caravan ripples and a cloaked, white unicorn stood in front of him. This wasn't at all what karsia expected either. But then again, nothing was what he expected at this point.
"I’m afraid that’s not an option." The white coated unicorn said, her tan cloak billowing with an ethereal wind. The Unicorn calls forth magic and teleports all three ponies out of the caravan, leaving Karsia alone.
Karsia stood there, unmoving and unfeeling as he spoke to no one in particular. "Wrong move Unicorn. Wrong move indeed."
Karsia then fades into the shadows as he laughs.
