Monstruos: The Monsters of Equestria
Chapter Two: The Encounters
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe four have now entered the mausoleum and are already faced with more death. To the left and up ahead were the skeletons that have died from these monsters these creatures of the night. As they turned left and looked up to their right they saw more of the dead. The group while not admitting it, while growing with envy as they continued. After passing a little corridor, they soon found a painting on the wall where below it candles were lit up as the picture was clear to see.
It was a bird-like creature that looked female despite not looking like any normal being, before they could continue on they heard Muerte's voice echoing.
(Muerte) "Tlahuelpuchi. A shape-shifting devil who lives on the blood of children. Or in this case.... fillies."
(Discord) "Muerte? Where are you? Oh, you are probably just in a safe place while talking to us huh?"
They continued before entering a strange lair. In the lair, there were candles as well as a four-digit claw mark on the wall. As they then noticed a terrifying creature in the corner caring for a single egg that sat on a small crate. Suddenly the bird-creature swiped its sharp claws toward attempting to harm them. But when they opened their eyes they saw that it was simply phasing through their bodies not being harmed at all. The group then realized that Muerte was keeping them safe throughout the journey. After all, he was their guide.
Continuing, they entered a hallway to the left of them were little baskets that carried the young fillies within. They were wailing and wailing and as the group continued another Tlahuelpuchi attacked before retreating into the shadows. They passed by one more basket before being attacked again. They then entered another room with another painting depicting a Tlahuelpuchi biting their prey with their beaks draining the blood within. Behind the painting for a flash of a second, a Tlahuelpuchi was doing exactly in the painting, sucking the blood of the young.
They realized that they were done with Tlahuelpuchi as they entered another room and another painting. In the painting was another bird-like creature but this one was white feathered while carrying away a stallion. Once again it was surrounded by candles, they also figured out these were shrines. Shrines dedicated to these legends as a way to possibly please them? Or perhaps to keep them away from a certain area? They did not know but what they did know they were dedicated to them, no doubt about it. Once again they heard Muerte's voice.
(Muerte) "La lechuza, la lechuza. Hace "Shh", hace "Shh". Todos calladitos como la lechuza. Hacen "Shh", hacen "Shh"."
They entered before immediately coming face-to-face with La Lechuza. The owl creature's nest was that of a skeleton corpse that stood in a small wooden cage just for one. The creature screeched as another of the Skeletons lay in front of it. It was one of La lechuza's meals and like the other, all the skin and every part of the body was consumed. La Lechuza continued to screech as they left Discord noticed that La Lechuza had a severed leg within its talons. He gulped and left along with the others to the next area.
As they went to the next area a La lechuza attacked swiping. They then entered a hallway where to the right on the ground were skeletons laid out. Continuing only to be attacked again by another La lechuza. Entering down a long hallway before once again being attacked by La Lechuza. They were relieved that they were done with La lechuza but it quickly disappeared as they saw another shrine with a painting above it with a figure with tall legs and behind him was a large bag of bones. They soon heard Muerte's voice once again.
(Muerte) "El Silbón, el "sin fin". Those who hear his whistle... are marked for death."
They then entered another area this one being close to outside.
(Starlight) "Um, Discord? What is this building and why are there bags hung up, with blood?"
(Discord) "It's a-a meat shop of some kind, but I've never seen one like this before. At that moment they began to hear weird whistling.

Suddenly out of the darkness, a tall figure with a wide hat came running swiping at them. They also notice that right in front of him sat the bag of bones the one from the painting. Quickly they go inside only to find a massacre. There were three bodies around the area with big holes in their back. One of the bodies was being meddled with by El Silbón when he reached through his back with a meat squishing before gushing out as he ripped out his spine. The group gagged and almost wanted to throw up as El Silbón continued to examine it as if it were his prize.
The next room also made them want to throw up, there was meat on the table as well as some guts hanging from the ceiling. Suddenly as they continued walking El Silbón popped out of the window startling them. They continued through the rooms going a bit faster as they passed by dry pig corpses as El Silbón attacked again. What they saw next puzzled them, it was El Silbón's bag but it was larger. They knew they had to walk through the bag of bones to escape. They went in the whistling continuing back and forth El Silbón attacked before the final a giant form came forth attacking and nearly catching Thorax but they escaped.
They thought it was over but when they finally returned to the graveyard, however, stood Muerte with a shovel in hoof with four open holes dug into the ground. He began to speak.
(Muerte) "So you have made it amigos. But unfortunately, you cannot leave, alive. And well these graves…are for you.”
(Discord) "Yeah, I don't think so, we did NOT enjoy that and so I shall send you back where you came from weak bones!"
Discord snapped his fingers and instantly a portal opened up and began to suck in Muerte but he resisted. So all four of them blast beams of magic towards him causing him to go further into the portal. He screamed a demonic scream as he got sucked in and with him, the portal closed. The four took a breath, comprehending what they had just gone through, and began to walk home. They walked home silently as the three split up and Discord teleported to his home within the chaos realm. He would have trouble sleeping because of what he had seen but he was too tired so he went to sleep. After all, he and the others did have to explain everything about what happened in the morning to the others.
