Fire and Ice: Prophecy

“My lord, we have gotten the prisoner ready, we have made sure that his bonds are fire-proofed. Is there anything else you wish us to do?” One of N’lyr’s servants asked.

“No, not at this moment, but make sure that my army is ready, after we banish him from this realm, there will be a great battle, and I will finally take over the kingdom as it’s sole ruler!” He laughed maniacally. His servant flinched away from his master and exited the room, people who were caught in the room with him for too long were rumored to go crazy. He still had a family to look after, he couldn’t risk that yet. N’lyr turned back to the tome in front of him. He had been studying the same spell for hours on end. He wanted to make sure that absolutely nothing got in his way. “Nothing could ruin this now.” He said chuckling softly.

He heard a shuffling noise from behind him. He turned around and saw his prisoner coming to. “Ugh...Where am I?” Malacai asked, before opening his eyes. When he saw N’lyr, he remembered everything that had happened. “N’lyr! What did you do to me? I’ve never seen such black magic before...” He said cringing as the Dragon Lord walked towards him.

“I only sent you into a deep sleep, filled with your worst nightmares.” He stated laughing. He turned back to the tome and studied it one last time. “Well, I have the spell for you ready. I guess we shall start then...” He said slamming the book closed and turning towards Malacai.

“W-what spell? What are you going to do to me?” Malacai stuttered. He was very afraid of N’lyr at this point. He didn’t want to imagine what he had in store for him.

“Oh, nothing big. And don’t worry, I won’t kill you.” He said giving a wide smile to Malacai.

Malacai released a breath that he hadn’t realized he was holding. “So, what are you going to do to me?” He asked.

“Oh, i’m so glad that you said that, Malacai. You see,  when you were brought to me by my dragon, Neceron. I think you’ve met him before. Well, you only saw him in his human form.”

“You mean, that the man in the black robes, was a dragon?” Malacai asked.

N’lyr started clapping. “Well done, you catch on fast.” He said.

Malacai shook his head violently. “No, I need to focus.” He whispered. He looked up at N’lyr. “What will the spell do to me? I want to know.” He demanded.

“Fine, i’ll tell you. It will banish you from our realm and into another realm. The chance of you getting back here after I banish you, is very, very slim. If you do get back, I will personally hunt you down, and make you my slave. That is saying that wherever you end up, doesn’t get you killed first. Now, enough of that. Shall we gat started?” He asked. “Great, we all agree then.” He said. He turned and pointed his staff at a blank wall and started chanting an ancient chant. “Dominus Lightning, Domine tonitrui. Aperite porta ad mitto te mortale abstulit. Mutare suam formam, figuram suam mutari. Sculpere eorum figura, ex Odii. Praecipio tibi Dominus nox ducere animam eorum. ” He said. His staffed adopted a black aura and shot a beam at the wall. A purple portal opened up and started to suck Malacai inside. Right before he blacked out, he saw N’lyr grinning evilly at him.

All Malacai was aware of, was the pain. Oh, god the excruciating pain he felt. He didn’t want to open his eyes, he was utterly afraid of where N’lyr had sent him. But he knew that if he stayed there any longer, he might become some creature’s snack. Making his decision, he opened his eyes slowly. It seemed that he was somewhere in a dense forest, it was darker than any forest he had seen in his entire life. He was about to move his head to look around when he heard a shuffling noise behind him. He jolted upright and immediately groaned in pain.

After the pain died down, he looked towards the noise. He sighed in relief as he saw that it was just a simple rabbit. It was then that he noticed something was...off. He tried to pinpoint what was bothering him, when it hit him. He couldn’t feel his fingers anymore, and it felt like there was something stuck to his back. He decided that he should check his fingers out first. When he looked down he gasped in shock.

In place of his hands, were a  pain of silver hooves. “I-I have hooves?” He said silently. He then remembered the weird feeling on his back. He looked behind him and nearly fainted in surprise. On his back, was a pair of feathery wings. They were the same color as his hooves. He decided that it would be best if he looked over the rest of his body. He spotted a small pond and moved to it. After looking himself over for a few minutes, he came to one conclusion. He was an equine. A grey equine with a silver mane and tail, and a long scar running over his left eye. Just like the one back in his realm. He tried to calm himself down, but unfortunately, that didn’t seem to work.

“Okay, get a hold of yourself, Malacai. This couldn’t get any worse, could it? Let’s go over the situation, i’m in a new realm, as an equine, stuck in a dark forest with no sense of direction. Furthermore, I seem to be a pegasus, at least, that’s what I can gather from my reflection in the pond.” He said, trying to calm down his rapid breathing. “Okay, now that we know our situation, we should think of a plan. One: get out of forest, working on it. Two: find civilization, preferably friendly. Three: get back to my realm and stop N’lyr before he takes over the country, nearly impossible. Four: DO NOT die!” His breathing had slowed down enough to take notice of his surroundings. When he looked into the forest, he could see a thin ray of light shining through the tree’s.

“Well, look’s like I found my way out.” He said attempting to walk on his new hooves. Eventually, he got the hang of it, but just barely. He slowly started to walk out of the forest. Meanwhile, a prophecy had just been set in motion. A prophecy from both realms.
