Hecarim Confronts The High Council
Hey guys, I've been reading a bit on Hecarim's lore and I found him to be an interesting character! Because of his one MLP reference, I decided to write a little story on it, let me know what you think and feel free to tell me where to improve! The story's plot is something I'm making up along the way, so it's by far not perfect. The comedic genre won't be making an appearance in this first chapter, but there's definitively going to be some jokes thrown around the next chapter.
Hecarim Confronts The High Council
Hecarim is a being that no one could ever hope to understand, his presence alone makes even the strongest of soldiers cower with fear. The Shadow Isles posed no threat until Hecarim showed his presence on Demacian shores, could the Shadow Isles be an even bigger threat than Valoran had imagined? Hecarim demanded entrance into the League of Legends, recognizing his strength, the Council agreed. Eager to represent the terror of the Shadow Isles, Hecarim storms into battle slaying all who stand in his rampage. Tower after tower fell as Hecarim pushed onwards to victory, battle after battle ended with Hecarim victorious.
These battles proved no challenge to the towering beast, the only way he could truly strike fear onto the land was through the High Council. With only the thought of war on his mind he charges towards the Institution of War. Hecarim smashed through the doors and rushed through the hallway, with his lance held high he confronted the High Council, "BRING ME A REAL BATTLE!"
The High Council exchanged eye contact with each other before one of the three spoke, "You aren't welcomed here."
Hecarim laughed at their response, "WRONG ANSWER, YOUR SOUL SHALL BE RELEASED."
Hecarim prepared to swing his weapon down, the Council quickly noticed and hastily prepared a spell to stop his assault, "Perhaps a little time in this realm will calm you down." The entire room flashed with a white light and the last thing Hecarim could see was a smirk on a summoner's face.
"GRAAAAH!" Hecarim's lance slammed down onto the floor as he regained vision. He looked at his surroundings, only dark tall trees were scattered around the area. He gripped his lance and let out a roar into the sky. "WHERE HAVE THOSE COWARDS SENT ME?" Wherever they sent him, idling around won't get him anywhere. Annoyingly, he didn't recognize the forest around him. He aimlessly wondered around, unsure if he was just going in circles. Infuriated with anger he smashes a tree with his fist, strangely enough, the tree doesn't fall from his might. Did that spell affect his strength?
"U-um..." Hecarim turns around only to find a small equine creature. The creature had yellow fur with a pink mane and wings fit for flight. "A-are you lost? I can show you to the exit, if you want." The yellow animal was obviously frightened by Hecarim's ethereal appearance.
"TELL ME... CREATURE, WHAT ARE YOU." Hecarim is obviously intrigued in discovering what this creature that resembles the bottom half of his body is.
"Oh? I thought everyone knew what a Pegasus is, my name is Fluttershy, what's yours?" Fluttershy's frightened look was replaced with a curious stare.
"I AM HECARIM, TERROR OF THE SHADOW ISLES. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THIS LOCATION UNWILLINGLY, SO NO, I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT A 'PEGASUS' IS, NOR ANY OTHER INHABITANTS OF THIS LAND." With any other creature Hecarim would have attacked by now, but the yellow Pegasus seemed harmless, what else will happen on this land?
"Well... I'd be happy to show you around, I know one of my friends would certainly want to talk to you at some point." Fluttershy began to walk down into the forest, with no choice, Hecarim follows.
"TELL ME, WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THIS FOREST?" Hecarim wondered what such a small creature was doing in this maze of a forest.
"I usually don't go in here, it's really terrifying, but I heard your, um, roar. It sounded like you needed help so I hurried over here, it's near my cottage, so it didn't take long for me to find you." Light could be seen, they were nearing the exit. Hecarim stepped outside of the forest, and quite frankly, he found the darkness in the forest much more comfortable than the light above.
"PERHAPS YOUR FRIENDS CAN WAIT, I NEED REST AFTER THAT... ENCOUNTER." Hecarim makes his way towards the small cottage, hoping to find a resting spot. As he approaches the cottage it became obvious that he wouldn't fit in there, even if he managed to get through the door his body would no doubt destroy the inside of the house. "I WILL REST OUT HERE." Fluttershy gives him an approving smile as she enters her cottage to go about her daily things. Hecarim places his lance near a fence and rests his body, whatever that spell was, it exhausted his body.
Hecarim's body still felt sore, he awoke in the middle of the night, and he felt as if he had just lost a battle. "THOSE SUMMONERS WILL PAY FOR ANGERING ME!" As he walks towards his lance he notices a small basket filled with apples and a note,
Eat up! You slept the entire day, so you'll probably wake up hungry, these apples are from a friend of mine, so please enjoy them. -Fluttershy
Hecarim's body didn't rely on nutrients or fluids to survive, but he consumed them anyway. Of course, Hecarim can't taste anything so to him, this was a waste of time. After going through the basket, he practices a couple of swings with his lance and has confirmed that he is indeed weaker than before. The only thing he can do now is rest and start training tomorrow. He walks towards the grass patch he was before and rests until the next day.
"HEY WEIRDO WHY ARE YOU ON FLUTTERSHY'S GARDEN? HEY! WAKE UP!" Hecarim regains vision and quickly sees a cyan, multicolored Pegasus flying above him and yelling.
"FOOL, YOU HAVE DONE WRONG TO AWAKEN ME." This Pegasus has either interrupted his slumber, or began his training early.
Hey guys! This chapter was a bit of a challenge for me, it took a while for me to figure out how this chapter would turn out. Anyway, enjoy and be sure to tell me how I can improve. Also, congratulations to TPA for winning the League of Legends Season 2 World Championships! They really came from nowhere and surprised us all with their 3-1 victory over Azubu Frost, what a thrilling conclusion to Season 2, see you guys next season!
Hecarim Finds a Rainbow
Getting ready to clear the skies of clouds, Rainbow Dash soars across Ponyville. As she flew through the skies and over the houses of her friends she spots an unfamiliar object near Fluttershy's cottage. It was surely worth it to check out whatever it is, who knows, it could be a friend of Fluttershy. Rainbow floats down towards the ground and flies towards the animal. A large armored ghostlike pony lay before her. Anypony else would have been intimidated by the slumbering creature's appearance, but not Rainbow. She spotted it's weapon and immediately decided the creature to be hostile, "Whatever this thing is, it's obviously going to hurt Fluttershy!" As she looked around she spots an empty basket with a note, "So, this thing is another one of Fluttershy's animal friends? Maybe I should wake it up, I want to see what it actually does. Fluttershy won't mind, right?"
Valoran is engulfed in an eerie mist, silence fills the land and humanity is nowhere to be found. Every tree or plant has withered up and died, cities have fallen and The Institute of War is no more. Hecarim stands above the land with his weapon held high, "THIS IS THE TERROR OF THE SHADOW ISLES, ALL WILL EMBRACE DEATH. Demacia, Noxus, Zaun, Ionia, any city, village, or land has fallen to the champions of the Shadow Isles. The war is over and the victors remained after the bloodshed. "DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING, RESURRECT AND SERVE AS A SOLDIER OF THE SHADOW ISLES. YOUR LIFE WILL END OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR ETERNITY. Laughter echoed across the darkness. As Hecarim turns around he sees a summoner. "STILL ALIVE?" Hecarim readies his bladed weapon and prepared to impale the unfortunate summoner.
"Wake up." The tip of Hecarim's blade almost met the summoner's throat before he paused.
"WHAT?"
"Wake up..." The summoner's voice slowly faded and was replaced by a female's loud voice.
"HEY WEIRDO WHY ARE YOU ON FLUTTERSHY'S GARDEN? HEY! WAKE UP!" Hecarim regains vision and quickly sees a cyan, multicolored Pegasus flying above him and yelling.
"FOOL, YOU HAVE DONE WRONG TO AWAKEN ME." Obviously angered by the interruption of his slumber, Hecarim reaches for his weapon and points it towards the Pegasus.
"Cool, how do you use that? I bet it looks really awesome when you swing it around!" She's obviously not intimidated by Hecarim.
"YOU ARE... FLUTTERSHY'S ACQUAINTANCE? The Pegasus mentioned Fluttershy's name before, so it would make sense for them to know each other.
"Yeah! Fluttershy cheers me on while I practice, well she tries to at least." Hecarim notices her wings and gets an interesting idea.
"PRACTICE... MY STRENGTH IS NO DOUBT WEAKER THAN BEFORE, I MUST REGAIN MY POWER. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A RACE? To Hecarim this was just a way to test how much strength he has left, but to Rainbow Dash this was a challenge.
"Oh yeah? Bring it on! I never lose a race, I'm the best flier in Equestria! Just make sure you can keep up." When a challenge is presented Rainbow never backs down.
"INTERESTING, WIN OR LOSS THIS IS SURE TO BE ENTERTAINING. Due to Hecarim's loud voice, Fluttershy awoke and walked towards the two.
"You met Rainbow Dash? That's wonderful!"
"Oh, hey Fluttershy, guess what? Me and your animal friend are going to have a race! You should cheer me on and be the referee!" Rainbow is obviously excited for the race, barely able to hold her excitement.
"Oh... well if you really want me to, then I guess I could. Hope you two have fun!" She runs off to find a suitable area to have the race. Hecarim stretches and places his weapon back against the fence, while Rainbow Dash relaxes and gets ready for the race. After a bit of stretches, Fluttershy returns with news. "I found a large plain you two could race along and I could watch you from start to finish." The three walked to the makeshift starting line, which was really just a line drawn into the ground with a stick. "Rainbow Dash this is where you and Hecarim will start, run straight forward, you'll eventually see the finish line. I decided to make this a long race because I thought that would make it more fun for the bot of you."
"Good job Fluttershy! I wouldn't want this to be a short race, it was really smart of you to stretch out the course! Well then Hecarim, hope you don't mind losing, let's get this started!" Hecarim is a war beast, crossing the battlefield in a flash, he is considered one of the fastest champions in the League, this race would determine if he still has his speed, or if The High Council took that away as well.
"Ready? Set... Go!" Fluttershy's soft voice was very soft, but you can tell she tried to be loud. Rainbow Dash bolted through, galloping across the field with quick speed. She was sure to have this in the bag, louder hoof-steps could be heard right behind her and as she turned around she saw Hecarim coming up and overtaking her. Pieces of grass flew around left and right as Hecarim launched himself across the field, his hooves leaving prints onto the soil, it was easy to keep going at this speed, but he could definitely go faster than this. Just as he thought Rainbow was gone she soared across the sky above him, Hecarim smiled at this, he knew that if she was serious about this race she would eventually take to the skies. This was perfect, now that Rainbow is flying, Hecarim can truly test if he still has his speed and stamina.
"You're not beating me that easy! When I'm in the sky nopony can beat me!" Hecarim's ethereal body flashed and soon a light blue trail followed behind him, he was now on the same speed as Rainbow. Rainbow Dash flapped her magnificent wings brilliantly, never messing up eventually she spreads her wings out and glides across the sky and gains the lead. Hecarim's speed keeps increasing and soon a thin white line outlines in front of Hecarim, as his speed continues to rise the line starts to bend around Hecarim as a cone and he begins to pierce through it. Soon enough a loud boom is heard across the land and a shock-wave can be seen as Hecarim bolts across the seemingly never ending plain.
"MY SPEED... I HAVEN'T LOST IT! COME RAINBOW DASH, RACE AGAINST ME IF YOU CAN!" Rainbow Dash was in awe, she had to win, she did NOT want to lose this race. Her speed gradually builds up and she desperately flaps her wings, she is soon met with a white line of her own. Her body begins to be engulfed with the visible line of air and in no time she pierces through. The legendary Sonic Rainboom is accomplished as a loud boom is heard across the land accompanied with the trademark rainbow shock-wave. Rainbow's body flies through the air and soon meets Hecarim's with the finish line finally visible, the victor was about cross. Two blurry objects bolt pass the finish line, one large with a ghost like trail, the other smaller with a colorful trail. Unfortunately, the two were going too fast for an average mortal's eye to see the result. Because Equestria doesn't have advanced technology, or any of the inventors of Valoran, the race was settled as a tie.
"That... was... AMAZING!" After a race like that, Rainbow Dash somehow has the energy to yell out like that. Fluttershy said she could see the race from start to finish, but she never explained how. "Hecarim, you're really awesome! That race was just amazing, I had to pull off a Sonic Rainboom just to catch up! And when you-" A large pink and purple hot-air balloon's landing interrupted Rainbow's sentence. Fluttershy walked out of the basket and congratulated the two racers.
"YES... THIS TEST WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL, I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THE AMOUNT OF STRENGTH AND SPEED I STILL HAVE." Because Hecarim is a creature no one really knows about, it wasn't that strange when he appeared full of energy after that race. Something is strange, there are 2 other creatures near Hecarim, but he can sense a third. He stays on his guard and cautiously looks around the area around him.
"Hey, you're new here aren't you!" A pink blob of hair pops up in front of Hecarim, surprising him. Hecarim looks down and sees a small pink pony with a poofy mane. "Wow, you're massively tall! What do you eat? I bet you eat lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of sweets!" What is the creature, and what is it even saying?
