The Elder Ponies VI: Equestria

You had finaly arrived at Lightwind Keep. The large, ancient, imposing Pyleid ruin. Moss had crept over the walls as you approached the door, when a voice ran through your head, the voice of Fluttershy, Element of Kindness. "Erm, now, ca-can you open that do-door and go inside?" she said, in a way that you found adorable. Doing as she wished, you pushed open the heavy stone door, and stepped inside, using a Light Spell as you stepped through.

Dust and moss covered the gray walls. Incase of danger, you readied your blade. As you entered the doorway ahead, you found youself in a large room, noticing Weyfen Crytals, that were used to regenerate your Magicka, around the room. Focusing, you summoned all 7 of them into your bag, smiling.

You headed further into the ruin, cutting down rats and taking treasure from Pyleid casks, dark steel containers, finding gold and items. Soon, after what seemed like hours, and eating some more food, you finally came to a large stone door, with carvings of the Elements defeating Nightmare Moon, Discord, Glendis the Griffon Sorceress, aiding your ancestor defeat Mehrunes Dragon, among many more. Touching the carving of your ancestor, Shining Light, in a beam of light, the voice of sophisticated voice of Lady Rarity, Element of Generosity, spoke to you. "Darling, what you will find beyong those doors is a test. If you pass this test, you must speak to her. Now, go" Puzziling over what she meant, and who this Her was, you ushed opened the heavy stone door, and entered the room.

The room was dark, but before you could use a Light spell, a tong of flame floated in the air. You watched as it flew through the braziers and torches, lighting thm, the room glowing now. Upon so, you heard groaning from ahead. Looking, you noticed 3 skelatal ponies, and a skelatal griffon, rise up and raise their weapons. Upon closer inspection, you recognize them. The lead pony, a large, heavy set tan Earth Pony stallion adorned in dark gray and gold Porkish armor, brandashing a large waraxe that glowed with a red light and flames, as Earth Quake, a companion of Shining's who aided her in quelling the Porkish army of Warlady Graz ham-Moguk, and the waraxe must be his legendary weapon, Skull-Smasher. The slender brick red Pegasus mare Rogue wearing the oak brown cloak and leather armor, brandashing two Elven Daggers, must be Swift Wind, who joined your ancestor after Shining saved her from a group of Goblin mercenaries. The lean Unicorn, wearing a black and gold robe, adorned with a black dragon Insignia, weilding a large elm staff, must be Archmage Aurum Wand, the long gone Archmage of the Mage's Guild in Filydelphia, and the staff must be the Vel'carr, an Pyleid staff passed down from parent to child. And finally, large, yet slim Griffon skeleton, wearing a light green tunic, wearing Antivan leather armow, was Mardis Glenfell, a female Griffon Ranger, who helped the Element of Loyalty, Rainbow Dahs, and Shining Armor, and Shining Light take down Grawt, the daemon bear.

Launching a fire spell, you are able to deal with Swift Wind, watching as he skeleton froze, and appeared on her table. Blocking a heavy blow from Earth Quake, though the fire leaving minor burns on your hooves, before landing a kick to Aurum Wand's chest, staggering him. Deflecting a lightning bolt, though just barely, from Aurum's staff, slice a clean cut into Quake's skull, teleporting him to his table. Notching a poison tipped arrow, you fill Archmage Wand's robe with Griffon arrows, before shoving him into a wall with your wings, sending him to his table.

Catching your breath, turn ot face Mardis, seat and blood coating you. You sheath your bow, as you had no arrows left, then draw your longsword once more. The skeletal visage of Mardis grins, before unsheathing her dual scimitars, charging at you.

Parrying her blades, you deliver some strikes of your own, managing to land a few hits. Glenfell knock you aside with the butt of her swords, staggering you. As she is about to strike, you sweep her legs out from under her, and, grabbing her arms, you push her own swords into her chest. She grins at you, before appearing on your table. A voice, unlike your mother's, calls out to you. "Welcome, Blade Song. You are truly my descendant, come, and recieve your rewards." You turn and notice what appears to be the etheral ghostly form of Shining Light. Sheathing your weapons, you head towards her........

And towards your destiny...............
