Chapter 1
“Name”
“Daniel Reven”
“Occupation”
“Scholar, Wizard, Investigator, Writer.”
“Date of birth”
“August 19th 1975.”
The interviewer closed his book and smiled “Thank you for your cooperation Mr. Reven. We will find a suitable mission for you in the next few days. And with your skill, achievements and will. We’ll find a mission in no time.”
“Thanks Mr. Wiston. The pleasure is all mine..” Daniel said nervously. “Come on Mr. Reven, it’s okay to be nervous. Everyone get’s it one way or another.” Wiston smiled and placed a hand on Daniel’s shoulder.
“Now I’m off to talk to the rest of the council. You can explore the compound if you’d like or you can wait in your quarters. Remember room 10235!” Daniel nodded and left out to explore the compound.
For the next ten years, Daniel becomes one of the most skilled and powerful wizard in the Red Rose organization. He succeeded in the most difficult art known to them and many more. He was promoted to the rank of Arch Mage in just five years of service and was placed in the organization’s council.
In 2013, Daniel was placed under missing in action in his folder. No one has seen, heard or sensed him. The council’s searched far and wide, even asking spirits of all kind for any trace of the wizard. His closest friend, manager and fellow council member Nathan Wiston was missing as well. The two of the most powerful wizard in the world, lost in a blink of an eye......
Or are they?
=====================================================================
“Daniel, you pile of imp! Wake up for the love of Svirfer!” Nathan Wiston, one of Daniel’s go to wizard. Nathan was the wizard who recruited, trained and fought side by side with Daniel. He was strong for a man in his 40s and was fairly well built.
He always wore a red robe, signifying his speciality in the element of fire. His robe was always equipped with potions, books, pouches of powder and paper seal. He keeps a few essentials such as chalk, candles and the such, and never leaves without them.
Daniel however wore a completely different robe. He wore a black robe, signifying his speciality in necromancy. However, he is also skilled in many more arts than necromancy. His first mastery was necromancy, and was left with it for the remainder of twenty service years and counting. Daniel was equipped the same as Nathan, being his former student he could never get the feeling of nostalgia leave him and was very well organized.
“Hu...huh wah?”
“Daniel, we were transported to Equestia!” Nathan said excitedly. He and Daniel watched the show and loved it straight away. It relieves the tension of the world and grants whoever watched it a sense of security and care. It was a great change for both wizards, since it gave a new meaning of life for them. But enough of the show...
“EQUESTRIA?!” Daniel shouted, jumping up from his sleeping position and head butting the red mage. They both groan and smiled excitedly. “Let’s go and hug Pinkie Pie!” shouted both of them, and heading straight for the unsuspecting town of Ponyville and the overly excited pink mare.
Pinkie Pie’s tail was twitching madly this morning, she was smiling and prepared a party for the new visitors. Of course, she thought they were po-
I didn’t remember thinking they were ponies, I knew they were humans from the start silly!
Pinks! Let’s not break the fourth wall and leave the story as that, eh?
Nuh uh! I want you to write what I truly felt. You have to make it a hundred percent accurate mister author!
*Sigh* Fine....
Yay! I’m going to prepare a special cupcake just for you!
Please let it be a regular one! I don’t want a macaroni and cheese one like last time...
Awww. You’re no fun. Oh! Are the readers getting mad yet?
PINKIE! Quick! Break the connection! Get the glue! Get the duct tape, QUICK!
*BOOM* *BANG* *SLAM* *TSSSH*
Now where was I? Oh yeah!
Of course, she thought they were humans. But wanted to see the priceless look on Twilight and the rest of the Mane six. She happily hid the banner and started to place the remaining table, balloons, streamers and confetti.
She then went out to town and gave out invitation pamphlet to her friends to not gave a riot inside Sugarcube Corner.
The mane six minus Pinkie arrived and closed the lights. They wondered why the room was empty but shrugged it off.
A few minutes after they got in. The door opens up and reveals two large bipedal creatures, humans if you count Pinkie. The humans wore robes of red and black. Twilight was frightened, scared, confused and excited. The others weren’t so excited.
Applejack showed fear, but the determination to defend her friends were present in her eyes. Rainbow Dash was the same, but was more driven to attack than to defend. Rarity was more excited than fearful, the couture of their robes were exact and ‘flamboyant’. Fluttershy was hiding behind Rarity as in all the parties she’s invited to.
Pinkie went off towards the two bipedal human and yelled “SURPRISED!”. The two bipedal creatures giggled and tackled Pinkie.
....
Applejack ran towards the two creatures determined to defend Pinkie. Rainbow flew and tackled head first to the creature in red. She was met with a meat wall and fell on the wooden floor clutching her head.
Pinkie was giggling but stopped seeing both mares charging towards the two powerful beings. The two humans noticed it and nodded to each other. “If they charge, let them fall. If they show their weapons, show no fear. If they leave you behind, fight for the people you love! Hsvecto plunge them to the earth!” they both chanted, summoning a large wooden tentacle and subduing both mares.
The others could only watch in fear and amazement. The bipedal humans nodded and walked towards Pinkie. “Can we have some cupcakes please?” they both said, trying to imitate a puppy eyes. “Of course you can have cupcakes, this is your party after all!” she bounced up and went straight to the counter where the holy cupcake laid.
“By Klevtoc this is the most holiest thing I have ever laid eyes on!” said the red creature slowly getting a hold of the cupcake. “May Svirfer have mercy on me!” said the black one, grabbing the cupcake and eating it whole.
Twilight, Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow watch in horror, amazement and anger at the creatures. “Psst! Hey Twi. Think you can get us out of these?”
The lavender pony glanced towards Rainbow and shook her head. The cyan pegasus groaned in defeat and banged her head onto the wooden floor.
“Hey Pinkie, know a place where we could stay?” asked the black one. He grabbed a nearby fizzy pop and drank it’s content. “Wait, I forgot something really important!” said the black one.
“What?” asked both Pinkie and the red one.
“We forgot to introduce ourselves you old nut job!”
The red one scowled at him before nodding. “I’m Nathan Wiston. I’m a mage and former mentor of him.” he pointed towards the black one and punched his shoulder with his free hand.
The black one coughed into his hand and scowled at Nathan. “I’m Daniel Reven. I’m an arch mage unlike Nathan. I’m the first person in the RRO to reach arch mage at the age of twenty three years old.”
Twilight stared, jaw agape. He reached one of the highest rank in the unicorn hierarchy in just twenty three years of age?! She couldn’t believe it, him a bipedal creature claiming to be an arch mage at the age of twenty three.
Daniel saw the expression of Twilight and glanced at Nathan. He agreed on what he was thinking, giving him a thumbs up in response. “Twilight, if you don’t believe me. Ask me anything you can’t do, and i’ll prove it to you.”
The lavender pony smiled mischievously. I’m going to make him eat those words! “I want to see you create a small sun!”
Daniel backed away and glanced towards Nathan for support. The lavender pony shouted a small ‘Ha!’ and smiled smugly. The two humans shrugged. Nathan gestured him to go on and left Daniel to fend for himself. He sighed and facepalmed making an audible slap.
“Alright, let’s get this over with.” Daniel snapped his finger and a small sun appeared in his hand. I could have just use a fireball and leave it hovering and say it’s a sun. Oh well.
The lavender pony raised an eyebrow and glowed her horn, scanning the sun. Her eyes widen and stuttered incomprehensible words. The two incapacitated mares eyes widen as well.
That thing is stronger than princess Celestia, princess Luna and Twilight?!
That thang can destroy Equestria with just ah flick of 'is finger!
The two mares looked at each other and shivered. “Y-y-y- you can’t be an arch mage. This is madness!”
“Would it make you feel better that I’m thirty eight?” asked Daniel, making the already stuttering unicorn eyes widen even more.
She started to lose her mind, even making both humans subdue her with force. “I MUST KNOW HOW YOU WORK! I’M GOING TO MAKE PRINCESS CELESTIA PROUD!” she shouted her obscenity making Nathan poof a straight jacket in existence and making Daniel poof a gag.
“Pinkie, get Spike quick! I don’t know what can restrain her horn, but i’ll use a seal in the meantime!” the pink mare made a mock salute and left towards the treehouse / library.
Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash stared at the restrained and gagged unicorn. The humans created a pentagram and other weird symbols. Then placed green glowing candles and started to chant.
“Let’s hope Pinkie gets back before we lose our concentration!” Daniel said, placing a muffle on his ears. “Aye, that would be a very bad situation to be in.” Nathan replied, placing a muffle on his ears as well. “Girls prepare to see the most gruesome chant in our disposal this is the only seal that can contain her magic without physically hurting her. You may want to plug your ears, she’s going to shout and scream a lot.”
The girls wanted to protest but was too late.
“ Within the darkest depths of Svirfer,
the holy relic shant not be consumed.
Relish the thought and move on.
Make the others pay for what they have done.
Others may become what we have done.
Corrupt their souls so we may move on. “
Twilight started to scream in agony and had a rage built expression plastered on her face. The others were trying their hardest not to intervene. Rainbow was struggling under the wooden tentacles trying to break free. Rarity had fainted along with Fluttershy. Applejack was trying her hardest not to spill her lunch.
“Please aid us on containing this demon!
Svirfer find it back and release your minions!
Mesvor give it strength to move on!
Let it not be our final one!
Contain this spirit!
Confound it to the depths of your realm!”
Black and white smoke started to pour out of the candles, the pentagram and symbols pulsating a crimson red. The smoke started to lunge itself onto Twilight and swirling around in a circular motion. The two humans were slightly sweating but was keeping the pace up and running.
The door suddenly opens revealing the pink mare and purple dragon. Spike’s eyes widen at the sight of her friend being ‘tortured’ in such a fashion. The both of them didn’t even stop their chanting and looked at the arrival. Nathan nodded towards Daniel, leaving him the task to subdue Twilight alone.
The others watch as he started to sweat more and more but leaving the pace at the same rate.
“Spike send a letter to the princess! Daniel can’t hold Twilight much longer! She’s in a mental breakdown if that’s what you're asking.” the dragon nodded slightly and sighed. Twilight has gone over the top now. “What do you want me to send?” he asked. “Just get the princess here! Daniel might lose his grip on her! I’m going over there on a sec. Pinks think you can help us?”
The pink mare nodded and sat down next to Daniel and began chanting as well. The others watch in amazement that their pink party pony knew this horrid spell. Rainbow was fuming with anger. They got Pinkie Pie and Spike! They’re here to take over Equestria!
“Okay I sent the letter she’ll be coming any minute!” Spike shouted making the group of three relax a bit.
A few minute later the princesses, a few unicorns and royal guards come inside the pastry shop spotting the three chanting.
The reason why Celestia hasn’t jumped straight towards the two humans was Pinkie Pie. She was chanting along side them, restraining Twilight and making her scream in agony. “Princess Celestia! Twilight has gone over a mental breakdown and those three are doing their best keeping her down.” informed Spike, making the entourage relax at the sight.
Daniel glanced behind him to find the princesses and smiled. “Enough for today, princess is here.” they both nodded and hurried behind the counter.
The lavender mare was panting heavily, rage was plastered on her face, but cold determination in her eyes. The princess is here. Perfect...
She started to laugh maniacally, her horn glowing a faint red. Her bloodshot eyes only making the situation more creepy than Pinkie’s mental breakdown.
“The arch mage is mine! FOR SCIENCE!” the binds of her straight jacket flew away, hitting the two unconscious mares. Daniel and Nathan had a small fraction of a second to react. They both summoned a small barrier around the lavender pony. Daniel and Nathan’s eyes widen in comprehension.
She has a F10 demon! Daniel thought. He looked at his partner and nodded. Princess Celestia saw their expression and sighed. She had a lot of explaining to do.
The two were talking but Celestia couldn’t hear it over the scream and desperation of Twilight. They both nodded and had looks of determination in their eyes. Daniel grabbed one of the pouches of powder and threw it at the lavender mare, making her sleep by force.
“Celestia you have a lot to explain to us.” said the arch mage. He was furious and fuming with anger, but was under control. Nathan showed the same expression in his eyes, but wore a blank face. The guards weren’t happy with the tone of Nathan and were already on edge with the feat they pulled off.
Shining Armor arrived shortly after Daniel’s ‘request’. He had the look of anger, fear and terror on his face. His little Twilley had fallen down and was sleeping in terror on the wooden floor of Sugarcube corner.
He saw the two humans and charged his horn, preparing to attack. The guards couldn’t control themselves and leaped towards the two humans.
Daniel and Nathan were prepared, being trained to read body language to easily defend themselves against possessed people, animals or spirits. They subdued they guards and captain, and cut their magic temporarily. Both humans scowled at the princess making her gulp audibly. “Now you have “a lot” to explain!” shouted Daniel, fuming with anger.
He left outside to cool himself, leaving the hostile environment into a more calming and friendly one of the outdoors. Nathan had a look of indifference when he looked towards Celestia. She had too much to explain, now this. I hope her dungeons have mercy on her, because if this were RRO territory she will have none.
Celestia was sweating bullets inside, her once cool demeanor now showing panic and insecurity. Her guards, ponies and student subdued with a flick or mere words of the two mages. She hasn’t seen this kind of magic in centuries. The only ones who could reach their level were Starswirl the bearded and Discord. But Starswirl had just theories! Discord couldn't reach their level, he's too dependent of chaos!
Daniel came back, cooled off but still showing signs of anger. Nathan nodded towards him and teleported her ponies somewhere. She changed her expression and made an offensive stance at the two mages. They both raised curious eyebrows before teleporting her aw well. The only mages left were Pinkie, Nathan and Daniel who were all assessing the situation at hand.
“She’s sealed a devil inside her huh?” said Pinkie, saddened that her local egghead and friend had something cruel and ‘mean’ in her. “It’s both unethical and unnatural” they both nodded, knowing the feeling of being used. But the so called ‘benevolent’ ruler was nothing but a tyrant who hides in the shadow and lets her ‘ponies’ do all the work.
“We have to inform the RRO, think we can create a portal?” asked Nathan. He was ignorant of a lot of knowledge Daniel had. The black mage nodded and created a portal nearby heading towards the RRO briefing room.
The three mages entered the briefing room, making the ones present gasp and leave the room sounding the meeting bell and announcing a council member only meeting. The protocols were stupid, but once you get used to it, it kind of makes sense.
Everyone of different elements entered the room, a red rose button on each of them. They were the Red Rose organization’s council member. They rule out missions, create and renovate rules of all kind. They all saw the Pink mare making a few of them squee. The others were very tolerant and didn’t care of the shenanigans of both mages.
“We need a few hand picked members to come with us to Equestria. Exorcist are recommended, please.” said Daniel, making the bronies in the room squee even more.
Now before you go and say that demons are evil and angels are pure, none of them are correct. Both demons and angels are the same as humans, completely neutral depending on their personality. Demons are fueled with anger, rage, fear and all those negative emotions. While Angels feed off of pride, honor, justice and those sort of stuff. Sometimes there are hybrid, or some who chose to change their diet, but is all the same.
Now off to the scene.
The non-brony members started to tense up, not wanting their fellow members leaving to go on another world just to look around. “This mission can become a trip, if the task at hand completes quickly! We have a new world to explore and take care of. A new world to establish RR there. All in favor!” the majority of the council’s hand shot upwards. The “haters” scowled and glared at the bronies and non-bronies. The bronies were excited while the non-bronies were looking at the portal with indifference.
“Alright who wants to get in first. I need an exorcist who can get rid of an F10 or more.” the council members stare at each other in confusion. An F10 in a world of multi colored ponies. An F10 is a spirit, angel or demon that has an arcane force of ten, like the tornado ladder but less destructive and more killing capable.
“We don’t know why it’s angry, but the only lead is that the ruler princess Celestia sealed it inside a lavender mare. The mare has a lot of willpower, but until now has succumb to the entity, raging and shouting for the princess in Lor’kinn.”
The council member were now hesitant to enter the portal at the mention of ‘Lor’kinn’. The Lor’kinns or Known ones, were a civilization revolved under the assumption that the world was founded by angels and demons. Gods were formed when either angels or demons reach a certain ‘enlightenment’ and power. The civilization was but extinct. Few know about their existence and few know how to speak and understand it fluently.
“We have the ponies under HS in my personal dungeon, please follow me.” said Daniel, leading the council members to his quarters.
The members were starting to panic, sensing the aura behind the door. They could hear the door, walls, furniture being smashed, banged or just vaporized inside the cell. The other ponies, who were all in the same cell, were scared. They haven’t seen their once calm and cool egghead turn into this in one of her mental breakdown.
The council members called for a William Usver a high class exorcist of the group. He was known for his countless exorcism in freeing lost souls, and freeing demons, angels who weren’t guilty of anything. He has been also known to exorcise castles, manors and even whole towns. But he was scared of what lay inside.
He has only ever exorcised an F10 twice, and both being the most acknowledge ones the RRO had recognized. Sure exorcising a castle is time consuming and dangerous, sure freeing demons and angels take a lot out of you.
But taking down an F10 was a death sentenced to those ignorant of it’s power. An F10 can easily take life out of you with a single swing, an F10 can kill with it’s eyes closed and an F10 can destroy a country with nothing but it’s fist.
But he was happy to find that the arch mage himself is going to aid him. Now, Daniel is like the biggest celebrity in the arcane world. Even gods acknowledge his power, even asking him to join godhood when he dies. Only the most powerful people can ever meet him because of his work and studies Daniel was rarely seen in public.
But working alongside a soon-to-be-god is the biggest honor you can ever have in the arcane world.
