Chapter 10 Strife’s Lament part 2

Strife’s eyes slowly open from his slumber. He stared up at the night sky cover with stars and Luna’s moon in the middle; he was in a calm and quiet mood as he watched the beautiful night sky. “You’re awake.” Strife heard a voice to his left, turning his head left he saw Magic sitting on the ground smiling at him.

Strife got up from the ground and look around his surroundings; he was still in the canyons. Strife looks down and sits while his mane droops down hiding his face from Magic. Magic could tell Strife was feeling guilty for what happen hours ago. Not wanting him to stay quiet forever Magic asks Strife, “Hey…are you alright?” Strife, still looking down responded back by saying, “I’m alright…thanks for asking.” His sarcastic attitude took over for a little bit.

“Strife, I want to know now…I don’t want you to stay quiet so you better speak and answer my questions, you got it?” Magic asks Strife in a stern tone.

Strife nods his head yes in response to his question. “Good, now Strife I want to know about this Dexilus and you, how do you two know each other that much to go this far into a full on out Telumancy battle?” Magic asks Strife looking at him with a serious expression.

Strife looks at Magic guilty and concern and says, “Are you sure?” Magic nods his head yes acknowledging Strife he was sure.

“Alright Magic, Dexilus is…he’s the one who raised me long ago, he’s my father.” Strife said to Magic.

Magic looks at Strife shock after he told him that a god was Dexilus was his father father, he began to pick up the reasons how Strife knew so much about the Samuel cult then him and Dream. Strife notices Magic’s shock expression and looks away feeling ashamed.

“When I was a small colt I was raised by the guardian devil name Dexilus as you already know. He is the guardian devil of wrath, the one who taught me Telummancy; he taught me the conflict struggle of life and death, war and peace, to live and to kill.” Strife says frowning.

He looks at Magic and says, “This is why my name’s Strife, I represent the conflict struggle that is going on with this world around me right now. I’ll start with the time I suffer my first Telummancy incident.”

Many years ago when Strife was young

Dexilus was in the hallway pacing around in the hallway with a worry expression on his face. Erebos was sitting by next to a door watching Dexilus continually mumble on to himself. This made the prideful devil colt grin and say, “You’re very worry for the small colt, who would have known his Telummancy would affect him early like that.”

Dexilus gritted his teeth and then says in an aggravated tone, “It never struck me when I was his age, and how does it happen to him so early?” Erebos shrugs and then says in a calm relax tone, “Beats me, probably it’s just him being a unicorn; you know that Telummancy are forbidden spells after all.” The door next to Erebos opens stopping Dexilus in his tracks as he turns towards the one leaving the room, it was Lyncro.

“The youngling is alright now, he suffered some minor damage to his stomach and his right forelegs but, they weren’t fatal or sever plus he’s awake.” Lyncro said to Dexilus sitting down. Dexilus rushes into the room leaving Lyncro and Erebos alone in the hallway. The two guardian devils look at each other and both sighed.

“How did he meet this colt again?” Erebos asks Lyncro. Lyncro sighs looking at Erebos and says, “Have you been paying attention to Dexilus at all. You been by his side and should have notice Strife being raised by him.”

“Hey, since when do I pay attention to anything Dexilus does hmm?” Erebos asks Lyncro grinning. Lyncro sighs again in annoyance and says, “If there is anything else in the world of the living and dead, the only being you will pay attention to will be yourself.” Erebos chuckles and says with a proud attitude, “Damn straight.”

Dexilus was sitting next to a small unicorn colt that was asleep on a bed. He had a blue coat with a baby blue mane. The alicorn looks at the slumbering colt and sighs. “You gonna wake up any time soon or do I need to flip your bed over?” Dexilus asks waking up the small colt instantly.

The colt glares at him with an angry expression. Dexilus only snickers seeing the young unicorn mad face and says in a playful tone, “You know I’m kidding Strife.” Strife sighs and looks up at the ceiling. He looked tire and exhausted. “Dad, what happen to me?” Strife asks Dexilus in a dreadful tone. “When you were practicing your Telummancy, you suffer the recoil effect of the spell. It knocked you out and that is pretty much what happen to you?” Dexilus says to Strife in a calm relax tone in order to assuage Strife’s fear.

Strife settles down from being afraid on what happen to him. “Hey dad, how come Telummancy has a recoil effect for me and not you?” The young unicorn asks his father looking at him with a curious expression.

“Because being an alicorn and a god the recoil doesn’t happen much. I have to but, again it really doesn’t happen much unless I make a mercy kill then it will happen every time I use a Telummancy spell. Being a unicorn it will have happen momentarily but, that’s when you are older. I guess the recoil effect happen early.” Dexilus said to Strife who became even more interested.

“When was the last time you made a mercy killed?” Strife asks Dexilus. “The last time I had done a mercy kill was long time ago when I met your mother.” He says looking at Strife. The young unicorn amuse expression turn into a sadden look. Dexilus notices this and asks, “Hey, you okay?” Strife looks up towards the ceiling and says in a sadden tone, “I…I just wonder what mom looked like when I was born. How did she die again, can you tell me dad?” Strife looks at Dexilus in need for an explanation.

Dexilus frowns seeing how Strife was bereave from his mother’s passing. Taking a deep breath, Dexilus says, “She died of foal birth. Your mom looked beautiful I’ll tell you that. You have her eyes and blood that makes you a unicorn.” Strife looks at Dexilus and notices him looking at a picture of a mare unicorn looking at the sky while sitting on the edge of a cliff. “Can you tell me how you met mom?” Strife asks Dexilus who looks at him and takes another deep breath.

He then looks at Strife calmly and says, “You want to know how I met your mother that much huh?” Strife nods his head yes. Dexilus sighs softly and says, “Well, it all started long ago before you were ever born.”

Many years ago (I hope you realized I just perform a flashback within a flashback *Smug Face*)

Dexilus, Lyncro, and Erebos were going through a shanty town ignoring the looks nearby ponies gave them. “The targets are here split up.” Dexilus says to Lyncro and Erebos.

“Alright, when we are finish, where do you want us to meet up at?” Lyncro asks looking at Dexilus who walk ahead of the group. “I don’t know…anywhere.” Dexilus said to Lyncro. Lyncro looks at Erebos who shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

Lyncro sighs and says, “Let’s just kill these degenerates and get it over with Lyncro.” Lyncro said to himself before he vanishes into a smoke fading away.

Dexilus was walking into an alley looking around. His mission along with Lyncro and Erebos were to find Azazelist spies that were spotted in the shanty town call Urbs of Penuriosus (City of the poor). It wasn’t much of a city but, a run-down town filled with poverty and homeless ponies living off in the streets.

Dexilus never cared much for the city but, he knew its easy routes since some of his missions he was given before involved him going through the town. Dexilus kind of figure that it would be a matter of time this town will be recognized by him. The only time Dexilus recognized a town is when he is assigned to enter into the town so he can complete his mission. His mission was always first and the town will be one of his useful tools in completing it.

Dexilus stops at the side of a corner after hearing voices on the other side. He peeked around the corner and saw two robe ponies speaking to each other.

“He assigned us to eliminate this family so we shouldn’t waste time.” The pony on the left said to the pony on the right, sounding more like a mare.

“I know Rudza but, this doesn’t seem right. Why would that separate eye color thing tell us that ‘Lord Azazel told us to do it’ without explaining much about the family? Are they Samuelnist or any kind of threat to us?” The pony on the right said sounding nervous. This pony sounded like a mare also.

Rudza gave a frustrated sigh and says, “Look Timid, whatever he was, he knew Lord Azazel very well so what he says must be true. I don’t know why you find this so hard to believe, the others believe it, why won’t you too?” Timid took off her hood revealing her appearance to have a bright purple mane and a light yellow coat. She was also a unicorn that had ruby color eyes along with the look of an innocent shy filly.

Dexilus blushes just by looking at her but, had to shake his head getting the thoughts about her out his head, he couldn’t afford to think about a mare. He felt these feelings and thoughts about a mare will interfere with his mission and the only thing that will anger Dexilus was him failing missions. Failing a mission was like losing everything he held close to him in his life.

“Well Rudza…I don’t know it’s just, that thing what you call them?” Timid asks. “I don’t know; something that walks on two I think beats me.” Rudza said too Timid. “That thing frightened me, I don’t know about you Rudza but, I don’t want to do this?” Timid says frighten backing away.

“What you’re backing out?” Rudza asks in a disgust tone. “I…” Timid couldn’t finish her sentence as Rudza pin her down to the ground. “Do you know what could happen to you if you back out on your assignment? Lord Azazel will not take kindly to cowards. The others will go after you and tear you to shreds.” Rudza said too Timid frightening the young mare.

“Look you don’t have to kill them, I’ll do it alright?” Rudza says in a worried tone getting off of Timid. “Y-yeah, okay Rudza.” Timid says in a frighten tone looking down. “Come on, we have to go.” Rudza said too her frighten friend walking down the alley followed by Timid. Dexilus began to tail them quietly and stealthy making not a single sound. ‘This kid isn’t fit for any kind of mission.’ Dexilus thought to himself as he watches the scare mare Timid trying to keep up with Rudza.

Timid and Rudza soon were out the alley and enter into a rusted run-down park. Dexilus hid behind another corner and peek to the side spotting more cloak Azazelists. ‘What are you all planning?’ Dexilus thought to himself as he watches a cloak pony come up to Rudza and Timid.

The cloak pony with a deep voice came up to Rudza and said, “Are you and Timid here ready?” Rudza nodded her head yes and said, “Yes the family is just around the corner of this park.” The deep voice colt looks back at the other cloak ponies and nods his head signaling them to follow him.

Rudza soon leads them to a house that was boarded up except the front door. “Wait out here we’ll handle this.” The colt said to Rudza. “What? But, we can kill them also.” Rudza said to the colt beginning to grit her teeth.

“Watch who you’re talking to, you’re both lower ranks and we elites don’t need you lower ranks in our way.” The colt says in a threatening tone silencing Rudza and frightening Timid. The colt and the rest of his followers leave Rudza and Timid outside breaking into the house. When they were in the house, the two heard yells and a young foal crying.

“Those pieces of shit, fuck this Timid I’m tire of this.” Rudza says in an anger tone walking towards the house. “Rudza they’ll kill you!” Timid yells trying to stop her friend. “Like to see them try, Timid wait out here!” Rudza said too Timid as she ran into the house, leaving Timid outside by herself.

“Rudza…what should I do? I don’t know how to fight, I don’t know how to persuade anypony to not fight.” Timid said to herself beginning to cry. Dexilus watches her trying to comprehend how she managed to get herself into this kind of brutal atrocities worshiping cult, she didn’t belong in the Azazel cult and he knew it just as she did.

‘Damn it Dexilus you are going to regret this aren’t you. Well fuck it, you got to kill Azazelists after all so might as well help her.’ The guardian devil of wrath said to his self. Dexilus comes out the corner and stops next to Timid who was busy burying her face in her mane crying.

He doesn’t say anything and walks in the house and sees on the ground fatally injure. Looking around he spotted the father pin to the wall by knives and a dead mare holding her foal. He soon spots Rudza who was stab and cut across her tan coat, with her violet mane cover in her blood. Her green eyes gave a piercing glare at all the Azazelists.

‘Kid isn’t going to make it; she has sustained too many stabs.’ Dexilus thought to himself. He gave off a whistle that caught all the ponies’ attention. “Who are you?” A colt said to Dexilus confused. “Me well I am an alicorn, god of sin, guardian devil of wrath, and the badass motherfucker who fucks all your mothers. Oh and I’m the pony that wulp your asses.” Dexilus says in a cocky attitude. Without wasting a single second for any of them to speak, Dexilus horn glows and swords in front of each Azazelist appears and pierces through their skulls silencing them and killing them.

As the dead Azazelists bodies fell dead on the floor, Dexilus glances at Rudza who was slowly dying on the ground. He walks towards her body and sits down looking calmly at her and says, “Got to hand it to you kid, you got guts.” Rudza responds to him with just a soft weak chuckle surprising him.

“You‘re here to kill me aren’t you?” She said. Dexilus says nothing having a complete calm face. She was an Azazelists and his mission was to kill the Azazelists in this town. Rudza was already dying but, she lost her affiliation with the Azazelists after interfering with their mission. Dexilus decided to do one thing.

“It depends; you’re already dying as we speak. The wounds you suffered are highly sever and impossible to heal the best sort of method I can develop for you is well…a mercy kill.” Dexilus says in a sadden tone. He despised mercy killing, he only found it necessary when an enemy or comrade fought bravely and honorable in battle that eventually they soon come close to death. Rudza fought in his two terms and was slowly dying. “Before I do a mercy kill, you as my victim; will be granted one request that I will perform.” He said.

In mercy kills Dexilus grants his victims one request, when they ask him to do these requests before they die he will do it but, there was a catch. His powers will recoil painfully within his body until the request is fulfill.

“Any kind of request you say?” Rudza asks in a weak tone. Dexilus nods his head yes. Rudza smile softly and then says, “Look after the crying mare outside would you?” Dexilus looks at Rudza with a shock expression and in his mind he slowly thought two words, ‘Well fuck.’ Dexilus changes his expression into a calm one and says, “Alright, I’ll watch over her.” He said in a calm tone still.

Dexilus horn then glows as a sword appears above Rudza pointing down. “Let Charon or Phoeynixi lead you safely into the afterlife.” Dexilus said to Rudza bringing the sword down ending her life. Soon Dexilus makes all his swords disappear and turns around heading towards the door but, he suddenly stops and coughs out blood. “Damn it, with the damn request; using any spell will make my body suffer badly.” Dexilus says in a painful tone as he continues out the house. He soon came to a stop as he watches Timid looking at him frighten and horrified. ‘Great she’s frighten.’ Dexilus thought to himself.

“Rudza, you kill her didn’t you?” Timid asks backing away slowly. “Yeah, I did. She was about to die a slow death so I gave her a quick death putting her out of her misery.” Dexilus says in a cautious tone. He didn’t want this frighten mare to run away. ‘’She requested me to watch over you.” Dexilus said too Timid who looked down sadden by the death of Rudza.

Dexilus knew he had to find some way to cheer her up. “Look I’m not best with cheering ponies up well, never had to begin with but, I’m going to be simple; if you keep acting like that somepony is going to easily kill you. So stop being so nervous and frighten.” Dexilus says in an aggravated tone. Things that he wasn’t best at, was cheering others up in a more peaceful non-violent relative way.

Timid looks at him frighten staying quiet. “Look…you have to stay by my side at all times got it; I don’t want you getting kill especially from any Azazelists; knowing them, they will eventually find out you left their cult and pretty much will go after you.” Dexilus said looking around becoming a little bit discreet of his surroundings. Anypony can be an Azazelists and a Samuelnists. It was really hard to find out until they either reveal themselves to be one or you just ended up being killed by them.

Timid said nothing making Dexilus sigh in frustration, he couldn’t stand this any longer. He never learnt how to handle situations like this. So, not wanting to wait any longer for Timid’s response, he uses his magic to levitate Timid in the air startling her. She began to franticly move her legs hoping she can free out of his control but, she was unable to succeed. Dexilus had stronger magic then her after all so there was no chance for her to break free from his control.

“You can stop your struggling, you’re coming with me whether you want to or not.” Dexilus says getting annoyed of Timid’s struggling. He wasn’t going to hurt her, he just wanted to get out of the city before any Azazelists comes to their location. He can easily take any Azazelists out but, with a mare like Timid to watch over he’ll be struggling to have her survive then himself.

Soon Dexilus was walking towards a temple ruins still levitating Timid. They were out of and far away from the shanty town. Timid was asleep after tiring herself out from attempting to break free from Dexilus levitation spell.

The area was cover in rusted shredded metal and pony skeletons. Dexilus stops at the center of the floor with the Samuel triangle mark along with the Azazel triangle mark next to it. “This place still is standing in ruins ever since Celestia send her forces here to take us out.” Dexilus said to himself. He gently place Timid on the ground and sat down looking up at the night sky seeing the moon shine through the dark night. It was quiet and peaceful for Dexilus. He felt…relax.

Timid began to wake up causing Dexilus to look at her with a worry expression hoping she won’t do anything drastic. “Where am I?” Timid look around frighten. “You’re in the ruin temple of Fenrir.” Dexilus answers her. Timid looks at him shock and says, “T-temple of Fenrir, the place where both Azazelists and Samuelnists were slaughter by Celestia’s royal guards.” Dexilus nods his head yes and says, “It was mostly a triple threat if you see it that way. The Royal guards versus Azazelists versus Samuelnists; there was no such thing as working together.” Dexilus sighs and looks around only seeing more destroy stones in what used to be columns holding up the ceiling. The temple of Fenrir was no more but, rocks lay about with the fallen soldiers that fought against and side by side one another.

Timid became sorry for Dexilus. “Did you have any friends that were killed here?” She asks him glancing at a pony skeleton. “A few but, not many; they all die like soldiers.” He said. Dexilus frowns and hears a chuckle behind him.

Turning around, Dexilus sees Erebos and Lyncro walking up to him. Lyncro sighs and says, “Finally found you, we already eliminated the degenerates.” Dexilus lifted an eyebrow at Lyncro and says, “I already eliminated my targets.” Erebos notices Timid and appears by her side in her face. “Who’s this?” He asks causing Timid to fall back startled by the grinning devil colt. Dexilus pushes Erebos away from Timid giving him an annoy glare. Erebos chuckle at Dexilus showing no signs of apology. Dexilus sighs in defeat knowing Erebos was to stubborn to even say sorry for anything that he done that either scares, hurt, or ruins another pony’s chance on doing something.

Looking at Timid Dexilus helps her up and looks at Lyncro and says, “She’s with me, I have to look after her.” Erebos walks around Timid in a menacing pace eyeing her through his hood. “BACK OFF!” Dexilus snaps at Erebos who stops in his tracks. Dexilus wings open wide in an intimidating stance as his horn glows summoning two swords. Timid gasps looking at Dexilus. “An alicorn…you’re an alicorn?” Timid asks Dexilus who nodded his head still glaring at Erebos who continue to grin at him. “Now, now Dexilus you know how Erebos is.” Lyncro says as he appears like a gas of purple smoke between the two brothers. Lyncro sighs and looks at Timid.

“My name is Lyncro, god of dreams and nightmares also the guardian devil of lust. Though I may not show it but, trust me darling I have many things that I will lust for.” Lyncro presented himself. “I am Erebos ‘Darling’.” He said mocking Lyncro’s voice earning a distasteful glare from Lyncro. Erebos chuckles and then says in a proud tone, “God of Pride and son of Fenrir, also the guardian devil of Pride. Two things at once how perfect can I be?” Dexilus scoffs at Erebos presentation. Erebos didn’t care and continue to grin at Timid which frighten her more.

“Oh crap, I forgot to tell you who I was.” Dexilus said face hoofing his self for forgetting. “I am Dexilus Strife, the god of sins, guardian devil of wrath and son to Samuel.” Dexilus said too Timid. Timid felt less frighten by Lyncro and Dexilus and says in a shy tone, “I am Timid Anguish.” Lyncro, Dexilus, and Erebos thought of three words about her name, ‘Now that’s ironic.’ Timid notice their surprise expressions and look away shy.

“Dexilus please explain how you met her?” Lyncro asks looking at him concern. “I did a mercy kill on her friend who requested I look out for her.” He said to Lyncro. Timid begins to look further down to the ground after she heard her friend be mention. Dexilus notices this and decides to continue to at least cheer her up and get Erebos and Lyncro off his tail about her.

“So she’s going to stay with you for now on?” Erebos asks Dexilus who nodded his head. “If you dare lay a single hoof on her I’ll slaughter you Erebos so stay back got it?” Dexilus threatens the prideful devil. Erebos would have laugh but, kept his mouth shut when the two swords Dexilus was still controlling were touching his throat causing his hood to fall down revealing his face and his horns. Dexilus body suddenly gives off a jolt of pain causing him to cough out blood. Lyncro and Timid look at him concern, Erebos just grin. Dexilus continues to hold his ground and glares at Erebos again. “Got it?” He said in a venomous tone.

Erebos sighs and says, “Yes, I got it; I won’t do anything to her.” Dexilus look at Erebos scanning his face to see if he was lying. When Erebos lies; his left eye twitch or his wings open up a little. Dexilus knew this by heart since he has been around Erebos on a lot of missions. Erebos will tend to lie to his victims sometimes just to have fun toying with their mind and then kills them.

The swords vanished as Dexilus walk by Timid who was looked at him with a shock look. The way she looked caused Dexilus to blush a little. Not wanting to think about his emotions about her, he gave her a serious look and said, “Timid you’re coming with me to the world of gods; I want you to be by my side at all times got it?” Timid nodded her head yes and gasps seeing a portal being made by Lyncro. “Let us go then.” Lyncro said too Timid smiling.

When Erebos and Lyncro both went in the portal, Dexilus looks at Timid and says with a penitent emotional tone, “Sorry about your friend.” Timid look back down and said, “It’s alright…she die happy knowing I was safe.” Dexilus looks at the moon and says, “Safe? She never had a chance to see you before she died.” Timid shook her head and look up slowly at Dexilus smiling. The alicorn Telummancer looks at her calmly. “Rudza doesn’t have to. We’ve grown up together and look out for one another that we build a bond. A bond in our hearts; even if one of us dies and the other lives, we will know that one of us is watching over one of us.” Timid said too Dexilus. Though she may be shy and weak looking, but she had a pleasant heart. She was kind to him even if he was the one who kill Rudza her best friend.

Dexilus closes his eyes and began to ponder his mind with questions. This mare was now stuck with him both physically and mentally. “We should probably leave now.” Dexilus said too Timid. “Okay.” She said following him to the portal. Timid felt safe near Dexilus just as she felt safe around Rudza.

Back to Little Strife and Dexilus in the room

“That’s how you and mom met?” Strife asks his father surprise. Dexilus nods his head at Strife smiling. Strife seemed sad and astonish; how his father and mother met was dark due to the deaths of ponies that were in Dexilus way to the part when his mother knew she was safe with him and happy he was willing to protect her. “Hey dad, I didn’t know you were that much of a softy when Mom was around?” Strife said jokingly causing his father to chuckle at his son’s own joke.

“Well the time when I was with her a lot. Something about her grew on me a lot changing my usual behavior. Missions were less to me now when I was with her and when I felt down and aggravated. She was always the one to help soothed my problems.” Dexilus said too Strife smiling. “I felt happy with her, I felt like all my problems were cast away like a flick of dust, ‘Or a swing of a blade.” Strife added in with an excited tone. Dexilus chuckles and looks at Strife and says, “That’s right, like a ‘swing of a blade.’ Somepony’s catching up.” Dexilus patted his head gently messing up his mane.

“Tomorrow you’ll probably be able to get out of that bed.” Dexilus said too Strife. “And when I do its back to training right?” Strife asks happily too Dexilus. Dexilus shook his head no still smiling and says, “No, we’re going to go to the cliff to see your mother…pay a visit.” Strife nodded his head yes and then says, “Okay, dad.” Dexilus nodded his head glad to hear Strife happy and then said, “Goodnight runt.”

As Dexilus walks to the door Strife calls out his name making him stop and turn back to him. “I love dad.” Strife said making Dexilus smile softly but, deep down the alicorn felt a wave of happiness and love. Trying to stay tough, Dexilus says, “Love you to Strife, now go to sleep. You need your rest.” Strife nodded his head and pulls the covers over him. Dexilus leaves the room and closes the door.
