Runia Impirii

‘Great. I don’t even know what to do now.’

‘What are you talking about?’

“I found some pretty weird stuff out. Like for instance. Wait that’s not weird. Just be careful in the Everfree. Something big’s going to happen there and it may just…. Oh gods.”

‘AGAIN! WHAT ARE YOU...’ That was interrupted as the girls came charging out. I got up and prepared to join them. As I did I felt something nearby. It was either powerful or there were quite a few of them.

“That.”

I followed behind the girls and they all stopped at the entrance of the… “Everfree forest…”

Oh great.

“Oh this is going to be funny.”

“What’s the problem?” I asked walking up to the group.

“The fact that nopony knows…” Dash began to say.

“Well from the humidity in the air I hope you all packed raincoats or the likes.” I stated.

“You can tell that it’s going to rain?!?!” Twilight said with a large amount of surprise in her voice.

“You get used to telling the weather in these places when you spend enough time in them. I was a traveling mercenary of sorts when I wasn’t *cough* getting blown up.” I replied.

“Wait a mercenary? Really.” Dash said getting closer to me, “I doubt that. If that’s true then where’s your weapon? And what did you fight?”

“Well I can use a broadsword and I fought changelings. I helped clear out a few hives nearby a frontier settlement right on the edge of the Badlands a few months back.” I replied.

“Oh that’s good. What else did you do fuck the Hive leaders?”

‘Shut up. And no. I’m… as odd as it is to say this… still a virgin.’

“Oh snap. I didn’t know that! Although you won’t be if you succeed in your quest.”

“Lead the way then Ebon.” Twilight said motioning for me to take the forefront.

“I guess it’s back to being Pathfinder.” I said. Oh great musical quoting. I forged onward and I heard Dash back there attempting to scare everypony else with stories of coming in and never leaving.

“Oh yes none of you will be leaving tonight. Or any other!” A new voice shouted from beside us. Eight vamponies jumped out of the woods surrounding us.

One grabbed me from behind. “And she said to look out for you. I guess she was wrong about how strong you were!” I was lifted up and thrown against a tree. I smashed right through and kept going for a short distance.

I heard from what seemed like a far off distance, “Ha too easy. Which one of you…”

I didn’t hear the rest time slowed down significantly. I saw something inside one of the broken trees. A beautiful great sword. A monster of a blade. It was radiating a cold aura and no light seemed to escape it. I could barely see the blade

“It’s… it’s… It’s yours…. Damn you got lucky.”

I took the blade out of the stump and felt it in my hand. It was weightless and perfectly balanced. I could make out one of the vamponies making a move. I prepared to throw the blade right at him.

“Woah woah. What are you doing?”

Ignoring you. I then threw the blade right at the vampony and chased after it. I made it to him just before the blade did and leaped into the air. Time returned to normal and the blade hit it’s mark.

“Wha?” One of the other vamponies said.

“I’m not that easy to defeat!” I said as I slammed my foot down on the vamponies head… shattering him.

“OH SWEET! IT FREEZES PONIES! SO MUCH FUN!”

“What the hay was that?” Twilight questioned as I picked the blade up.

“OH OH! That’s Duskfang! It’s a blade that’s enchanted with the power of the moon!” Pinkie almost shouted.

“... Not really helpful…” I said.

“It can either freeze or slow down whatever it hits! And it’s invisible!” She shouted again.

“Okay… Sounds great!” I said turning towards the other vamponies. “Oh and there’s another path around them I’ll deal with the vamponies. Go on ahead I’ll catch up soon.”

“Okay… Don’t lose… Come on girls we need to get moving!” Twilight said as she led the others towards the path.

“Perfect time to feast”

‘Exactly what I was thinking.’

I lunged right at the closest one. “AH SHIT!” He screamed.

Again I bit down hard on his jugular and drank. This time not for power but for sustenance.

“Shit!” The third one yelled.

“KILL HIM!” The leader said trying to back away.

I dropped the body of the one I had feasted on and looked at the leader. “Run. I want a hunt.”

“You are getting violent. I like it alot.”

They charged off into the forest. I already had the scent of one of them. I’ll track them down like the dogs they are. I stepped off into the darkness of the forest and felt free.

“They better prepare for the entire four thousand metric tonnes of pain coming for them. CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS THE RAPE TRAIN IS COMING!”

‘Not even going to try.’ I stepped forward and felt like I was moving faster then when I wasn’t in the dark.

“You are. Again four thousand metric tonnes of pain is heading for them!”

‘Sure.’

I moved through the darkness of the forest and got to the group just as they made it to the girls.

“OH GODS NOT YOU SIX AGAIN! THAT MONSTER YOU RELEASED ON US IS UNHOLY!” The first vampony yelled.

“What?” Twilight questioned.

“Knock Knock!” I began.

“Who’s there?” Pinkie asked.

“PAIN!” I replied.

I lunged out of the darkness at the closest vampony and hit him full force.

I snickered as I slammed the vampony into a tree.

“How… how did you… we left you…” The surviving vampony began. He slowly backed up.

I was about to attack before Applejack kicked him solidly in the head.

He was sent flying into his comrades dead body.

“Oooh that has got to hurt… remind me never to get on your bad side!” I commented.

“That joke was so bad!” Pinkie said.

“Best I could come up with in the short time I was given.” I responded.

“No more jokes than!” Pinkie said.

“Fine fine. I’m never good with them anyway. So how much…” I began.

“Not that much further! Just across this… chasm….” Twilight replied.

“Oh that’s a big drop. You should go for it! Could be fun!”

‘Ah shut up.’

I heard a cough come from behind me.

“Eh hem. We have an insanely awesome pegasus right here!” Dash said.

“So then Dash what do you propose we should do?” Twilight asked.

“I’ll fix the bridge!” Dash responded. She dove right into the chasm.

“Now I guess we wait…” I said.

“Yeah…” Rarity responded.

“How about we play a game?” Pinkie asked.

“What game Pinkie?” Applejack questioned.

“Hide and…” Pinkie began.

“I’m done!” Dash shouted as she cleared out the fog.
