A new life for the brothers two, to one
Upon the mid sized city a purple eyed male, with pale skin, a thin frame, and long black hair sat with a cocky grin at a bar that was open. He was currently at the later half of a contest with a dwarf, a drinking contest. "I really don't think ya' cun handle it fer much long'r." The dwarf said his voice heavily slurred.
"Actually, I believe I'll be just fine." The human said slowly, his words precise, but almost too controlled. Another pair of tankards hit the table and both of them chugged them down quickly. They looked straight into the other's eyes until the dwarf fell unconscious, a heavy loss and shame to those there. The human collected the bets and slowly made his way upstairs. He walked down the hall and opened the door at the end. His facade faded and he took a deep breath walking in as a silvery dragonborn sat on a bed opposite his own was polishing his armor. His frame nearly opposite that of the human.
"You really should stop drinking, the body is one's temple." The reptilian humanoid stated.
The human replied with a much more heavy slur, "well, my paladinoush broter, I am still gunna' be good wif it an Imma give mosht to that little adashion ajuncy."
The draconic brother smirked and shook his head, "I know, I know. You always do something good with the bets, and you'll always follow through." He stated as he put his armor down and grabbed his great sword sharpening it. "We seem so different to others, but the truth is that we really aren't my drunken twin. A wu jen following the path of wood and a paladin of Bahumat. One an elemental mage and the other a sword of justice, but both following personal vows to nigh perfection. I believe mother and father would truly be proud Toma." He continued spewing out a long and complicated answer.
Toma giggled and went to the little temple he had set up earlier and stated, "yu always had mom's sense of jushtice Drite." He tossed several Platinum coins in and prayed as they turned to smoke.
Drite continued with his blade looking at his reflection in the blade, "and you always had father's curiosity and brilliance." There was a loud screech outside and both brothers immediately turned to each other as they knew exactly what was happening. Toma took a potion and chugged it as Drite donned his armor and sword. Toma donned his artifacts and both hoped they could save this province from the hell that was coming.
They rushed out the window and an infernal was cackling with demons flooding the town. The town was trying to take care of the evils ruining everything. Drite and Toma slashed and blasted their way through the town. After some time and damage taken they caught up to the abomination. "You who have attacked this province will die tonight in the name of Bahumat!" Drite roared as Toma blasted it with powerful spells. Drite's sword met it's hide and it screamed in pain.
"You're lizard God holds no right to me, you shining shit hole." The infernal growled in its abyssal tones. Drite slashed with holy power nothing save for a steely demeanor upon his face. Toma blasted it several times after hoping to distract the beast.
After sometime they finally got the horrid thing out of the city, but Toma was nearly out of spells, Drite was slowing down and both were heavily damaged. The abyssal beast took a swipe at Toma, but he got lucky and dodged. Suddenly, a brilliant light blasted down and encompassed the three of them.
It seemed as if ages had passed, but truly it was but moments. The three in battle gained sight once more, but now they were surrounded by equine humanoids. The infernal smiled and tried to strike the purple equine, Drite saw what was to come and still blocked the attack.
Toma blasted the abomination once more, obliterating the beast. He walked to his twin who was quickly losing what little life he had, tears poured from his eyes as he looked at his brother. "Why my brother, why..." He asked.
"Twas the only way... The only way..." Drite answered quietly as blood poured from his many wounds. Toma took out a potion, but Drite stopped his hand and said, "I am too far gone my grand mirror..."
Toma closed his eyes and downed the last potion, knowing had their positions had been swapped he would have done the same. He then said "my grand mirror I'll see you again in the worlds beyond."
"And I you," Drite said slowly as life left his draconic form.
The Equines made their way to them as Toma said, "oh grand Bahumat please don't take you're servant from my life, please don't take my brother..." Tears gushed from his eyes as the equines surrounded the two brothers in a hug, not even accounting for the blood.
"Thank you ladies, I know that must have been harrowing for you." Toma said as they backed up. However, when they began speaking he understood none of their words.
Then, all of them heard a smooth metallic voice, "I have little power in the realm you are in now my child and cannot return to you your beloved twin. However, I can give to you something to remember him by and a gift of power. I only wish that you keep my name in you're heart." Toma nodded. Then, suddenly the gems upon the seven equines burst out a platinum light mand turned Drite into a glowing sphere that was absorbed into Toma. The only thing left over was his brothers sword.
Toma's changes were very quick as he became a draconic creature, looking like a dragonborn, sporting shimmering purple eyes, a long dark black mane and two tails. "Well that was just terrible, I just wish that we could understand him and knew what happened." The white equine stated. Toma picked up the sword and set it on his waist.
"I am Toma, and through the power of the platinum dragon god Bahumat, I was given the light within my twin. I couldn't understand you before either so for what you did without understanding or without fear I thank you." He said softly. He noticed that the pink equine's mane flattened a bit she began to bawl.
"You mean you just lost your brother, your twin, when he defended me? I'm... I'm sorry." The dark purple one said.
"Do not worry to much on what he did, it was truly in his nature... Yeah his nature." Toma answered her. "I am sorry, but I must ask where I could bathe. Truthfully we all could use it." He continued his tone still soft.
"I'll teleport us all to my castle and we can get it done there. I'm Twilight Sparkle princess of Friendship." She said.
"I'm Pinkie Pie and I'll help make you smile again." She said as her mane puffed up a bit and she hugged him tight.
"Rarity and I agree that we must get cleaned soon." She answered.
"I'm Fluttershy and I hope we can repay your brother's and your kindness." She said quietly as she looked at his wounds.
"Applejack. Fer what you jus lost, the Apple family will always accept yah." She stated.
"Rainbow Dash, sorry for what happened, but you and brother were awesome out there." She said looking at the great sword.
"Rainbow he literally just lost his twin brother that's not what you should be saying," the orange mare with red and yellow hair stated, "I'm Sunset Shimmer by the way." That's when Toma realized that of the seven equines two were bipedal unicorns, two were bipedal pegasi, two were just bipedal equines and the princess was seemingly a mix of the unicorn and pegasus species. Twilights horn began to glow and she teleported all of them to her castle. Toma was taken to a bathroom and he began his long shower.
After the mares were done with their showers, Toma was still cleaning himself. They met at the table, rain came down outside. Twilight recounted the events to Spike, a small purple and green dragon, that was burnt to a crisp once it was finished, sending it to Princess Celestia. "I think we should stay with him tonight after all he's been through,' Twilight said to her friends, they agreed quickly.
"That would be nice, I really don't wish to be alone upon this night. I'd probably end up doing something stupid, my brother was always the one keeping tabs on me." Toma said quietly from behind them. They gave him a group hug once again and found themselves in a room big enough for all of them. Preparations went smoothly and they all fell to sleep slowly. A certain princess of lunar qualities felt the nightmares that the group shared and tried to help a much as she could. Making their sleep at least uninterrupted at least.
