Miners Diary
Entry 1587
it's been...4 years now, I've saved so many of ponies lives. They started calling me a Hero, I'm hardly a hero, I wasn't even able to save the ones I hold dear, I hope they're in a better place. I've grown so much over the years, not only in mind, but body. A letter came from the Reinforced Ponyvile, it said that a pregnant mare as just given birth, she named him after me. Speaking of letters, I've received a letter from Steve, he wrote that he recently had found a large cluster of diamonds. I really do feel happy for him. I've began a project to expand The Dune. Ever since more ponies began catching word of a sand sanctuary, free of mobs, they started to come in flocks. I pray that the Guards can keep everypony safe.
The Lonely Draconic Miner
The writer gently placed his quill beside his Miners Log, then stored the large book into a secure cabinet. The writer left his desk and moved to the window, to better gaze upon his city. After a minute, a female voice begin speaking. "My Lord." the voice said, "You have a visitor." within a few moments, he responded. "Send them in, Jae." His redstone powered door soon open to reveal one of his Diamond Dog Guards. Without turning his back, he knew that it was one of his guards.
He carried the stick that most guards carry. He saluted before he spoke."My Lord. It is time to hold day court." the only response the guard was given was a nod. The guard continued speaking, "if I may ask, My Lord. Shall I send your Daughter to meet you in court?" When a moment passed, the lord gave his answer, "No my guard. If that is all, you're dismissed." the guard gave a brief salute, before beginning his departure.
The Lord slowly walked to a lever, placed next to his desk. When the lord flipped the switch, a small door that led to a long hallway opened. The Lord entered the door, walked past all the chests, packed to the brim with iron, stone, gold, and even diamond gear, to a small chest. This chest only contained a Iron chest plate, an enchanted sword, and pick. This was his causal gear. The Lord has a rule, this rule states that he cannot leave his room without some sort of armor. This rule alone, as saved his life many times
Once the lord finished armoring up. He began his walk to the courthouse, located at the center of The Dune.
Far from the walls of The Dune. A group of ponies wandered, aimlessly, across the desert. leading the group, was a lavender coated pony. A orange pony, with apples as her cutie mark spoke."How much long'r, Twi?" her voice sounded more like coughing. The one named Twi didn't respond. When she did not speak, a larger one with wings, and what appeared to be a broken horn, spoke for Twi, "I'm sure we're not too far away, Applejack, Twilight is just tired, and hungry." Before Applejack could respond, a large wall came into view.
Another larger one, with a pink mane, wings, and an horn. only this one's horn was not broken."Look! Look!" she shouted, instantly, all the ponies moved their eyes to the direction she pointed at. It was blurry, the ponies were still able to make it out. Once again, the one with the broken horn spoke "Alas Cadance, it would be night long before we get there. it would be a miracle if we survived this night." after a few moments, Applejack step into the conversion, "Show o' hoofs, who wants to travel to the wall!" almost all of the ponies hoofs were up, minus the ones who were injured, which were being carried in wagon.
"So, it's settled." Applejack spoke "We'r headin' to that wall!"
Courthouse, The Dune
Here's something I recommend listening too
In the courthouse, The Lord sat in his Throne, patiently awaiting his next case. A guard came to his side,"My Lord, your next case is here." As soon as the words left his lips. A mare, with a long tail, and a short mane walked into the court room.
"Oh, My Lord! You look very dashing today!" The mare said with a smile, clearly trying to butter him up. At this, The Lord crossed his arms and spoke "What is the purpose of your case?" He said with a grin. "I seek permission to leave The Dune.". The Lord raised his head at this, "May I ask why?" He said. To which the mare responded with "I wish leave to The Ruins of Canterlot, Sire."
Research Paper 152
It's been 2 hours since the we've began our long walk to The Wall. Fluttershy rides on the Spider she'd tamed.. The Spider "Legs" as she calls it, used its webs to form a umbrella to protect her from the heat. She tried to let the injured on, but the spider refused to let them on.
The Night-Dwellers see Luna as their god, which meant she was being guarded by the green-skinned ones. When they were around her, they did not burn, even in day, and in night they were *much** stronger. But they only protect her, and they will never leave her side, even at night.*
Princess Celestia is seen more as a demon by the Night-Dwellers. When they are around her, they burn, even at night. The Green Ones don't "Hisss" around, instead, they form a tight circle around. guarding her. They must not like Night-Dwellers.
Princess Cadance....does not have a affect on Night-Dwellers.. Maybe it's because she does not have a connection with the Sun or The Moon.

Sand. That's all the could be seen, sand. For miles upon miles, it was just sand.
A lone dragon, with pure black scales, that always flies around the entire perimeter of her fathers great sand city, protecting it from most dangers. The dragon was resting upon a large sandstone tower when she spotted a group of ponies traveling to her father's great walls. The young female dragon decided to greet these ponies.
"You dare trespass on my father's land!"
The ponies were trembling with terror at the rage of the dragon. Twilight stood in front of the dragon, all of her friends flanking both of her sides."I apologize for trespassing on your family's land. But we're heading toward that wa-." She was rudely Interrupted. The female dragon had cut her off "You wish to travel to The Dune?" The ponies perked up at her knowledge of the wall. "Yes. we have injured with us. so if you would let us pas-" Twilight was once again was cut off. When the dragon had heard this, her eyes had widen. "You carry wounded with you across the San Palomino Desert? Come with me, quickly before night falls!"
She lowered her wing so that the ponies could load themselves onto her back. Force to leave their carriages and what little food they had.

The Lord granted the mare's request and moved on to the next case. After a few moments passed, the same guard who announced the mares arrival came to the side of his throne. He leaned down to speak. "My Lord, you're needed at the west tower." When the Lord heard this, he arose from the seat. snatched his sword, which was resting on the side of his throne, and headed toward the balcony.
Once he had reached his courtroom's balcony, he clenched both of his fists, pointed them directly at the ground. At this, some of the guards and servants, all stuck their heads out to "Watch the Sparks fly"
The Lord did not have wings. But, he had the power to shoot fire from his fists. The Lord launched himself into the air, with fire trailing behind him, as if the fire was trying to capture The Lord, but The Lord stayed just a inch away from it's grasp.
The Lord could manipulate many elements with ease, but manipulation is a strong word for it. Asking them to do his will would be more accurate.
-_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_
The ponies clung to the dragon's scales, as if it we're the only thing keeping them from falling, which it was. Twilight spoke over the fierce winds."Whats that flaming ball!?" she pointed at the ball of fire, heading towards a a tower that faced the side of the wall they were heading too."That, should be my father, he's always happy to have new ponies!"
_^_^_^_^_^_^__^_^_^_^_^
Once The Lord had reached the tower, 3 Diamond Dog Archers saluted him. An High Ranking Diamond Dog Archer (HRDDA) spoke, "My Lord, your daughter is carrying all three of the Princess's back here, Sire." Once The Lord had heard this, more thoughts entered his mind then he would prefer.
"Does she know if they're alive?"
"Is she with them?"
"Why is my daughter carrying all the Princess on her back?"
The Lord bounced back "Is she traveling with a group?" He said, with his face paled. The most important 3 seconds of his life. "Eh...Yes, but they cannot be identified, sir." He knew, He just fucking knows. "Prepare my desert survival kit!" The Lord said, The HRDDA spoke back, "No need, My Lord, for they shall arrive within the hour." The Lord thought for a moment then spoke, "Then announce our Princess's return."
"So it's a city, not a wall?" Twilight asked the dragon. "That's correct, my friend. This city was made by the bare-claws of my father.". The Dragon said. "Your father must be a very powerful dragon. Why did he build a city all the way out in a desert?" Twilight asked the dragon."He didn't have time to find a different place. The ponies needed a fortress, and one quickly. he really is a hero, but he does not feel like a hero."

The Lord flew back to his room, to better...dress for the celebration that will be held tonight,
The Lord wore a Golden-Chest plate. The Lord also choose to equip himself with a golden-sword. As he slid the sword into the sheath on his back, the voice of his accountant, Jae, began speaking, "My Lord, you're daughter has just landed on the west balcony and our guards are escorting all 3 princess, and their group, toward the food court. Shall I re-direct them to you, sire?"
The Lord let out a tired sigh before speaking, "No, Jae. send them to me after they have eaten. If I am needed, I will be in the Cold Storage." The Lord walked towards a redstone powered door, he flipped the switch the opened the door, and entered. Above that door, was a sigh that said Elevator
The room was bare, lit by glowstone built into the walls. There was a single block, a stone block in the middle of the room. Sat upon this block was a lever. The Lord walked in a very hasty manner toward the block. Once there, he flipped switch.
A smooth stone column appeared where the switch once stood. On each of the stone blocks, was a sign. Each sign had a number, and each number was a floor. He scrolled down until he found what he was looking for.
l Floor 15 l
l l
l Cold-Storage l
-----------------------------
He needed a drink. a more adult drink
Once the elevator had reached floor 15, The Lord ignited his fist with fire, illuminating the cold room. If he hanged any kind lighting here, it just burns out, but his fist served him as his light in the darkness,
3 blocks ahead of where he stood, was a frozen zombie. Endermen teleport mobs and such all over the lands, this is a place where they like to drop them off. He allows them to freeze down here.
The Lord punched the incapacitated mob as he went by, shattering the zombie into little bits.
_@_@_@_@
Once the Lord's daughter had dropped off the ponies on the West Balcony, she decided to check in with her father. She flew to her father's balcony, and peered into the glass, only to see that the room was barren and dark. "Father? Father! Are you here, father?.... A moment had passed, and not a single sound was made. At this, the young dragon whispered... ..daddy? "
The Diamond Dog's were guiding the ponies down a long hallway. While moving,Twilight began questing some of the guard's "Why do you carry swords? They useless now." Twilight said to a guard. The Guard turned his head to her and said "The swords not crafted by The Lord are useless." he gripped his sword's handle "These are the bane of all mobs."
Before Twilight could continue questioning the guard, the guard leading them announced they're arrival. A large door stood in front of them. The two guards at the front opened the door for them.
The moment the door opened, a cinnamon-like scent flooded the ponies mouths, and noses. As if on cue, the ponies began cheering at the thought of any meal, some of the ponies were a little more hesitant the the others, but, after going so long without food, the thought of food soon made all logic thinking impossible.
As she entered, more aromatic smells came to greet her.
Lava Wine was a mixture of Lava, and wine. The Lord held the precious liquid up to his face with his free hand, and uncorked the bottle, and brought it up to his parched lips. While he emptied the funny juice, his snake-like tail began gathering other containers of the wine.
Once he had enough, he carried his load back to the Elevator. Setting down his drinks, he ordered the Elevator to bring him to the roof. Has the elevator made it's climb, he informed Jae- His accountant- to send the new guests to the roof, after they have eaten. and to send Steele- his daughter- to the roof immediately.
The roof was located at the most tallest tower, which to say was very tall, once there he gathered his refreshments, and walked towards a seat facing the setting sun. Two cloaked Diamond Dog Onyx guards stood at both sides, ready to whip out and slash. Their armor was hidden beneath the cloak, a fully enchanted set of iron armor, with a enhanced Diamond sword.
He placed his load next to his chair. Before he could take a seat, Steele's black scales suddenly filled his vision.
A large table, set for at least 56 ponies seated the ponies. Celestia sat at the end of the table, flanked by the other princess's, and the Elements. The ponies were shifting around in their seats. The ponies who were injured were sent to the infirmary, being treated by the doctors, they've been told.
While they waited, Twilight continued questing some guards. "Whats happening?' She said with a curious look at the guard. The Guard spoke like the other guard. "The Lord has ordered us to prepare you a feast, after he ordered us to bring you to meet him on the roof."
A large tray, carrying steamed veggies caught her attention. Carrots, apples, and warm bread, she could smell them
Her mouth was watering.

The Ponies were eating like savages, not even bothering with silverware, they stuffed their faces like pigs. "It's been so long since we've had a real meal." Rarity thought, but, she was too depressed to eat or speak. Ever since she lost Sweetie Belle, her sister, she was greatly sadden. But, when she heard Spike was also missing, she fell into a deep depression.
She felt a comforting hoof land in her shoulder, but she didn't lift her head to see the owner of the hoof. A equally comforting voice spoke, "Listen Rarity..." She recognized Twilight's voice. "..I know you've lost someone you cared for, we all have, but, we may have found somewhere safe." She pointed at the bowl of stew in front of her. "and we have food, and maybe a new home. Who knows? This Lord person may have found Sweetie Belle, or even Spike."
As the word's left her mouth, the two mares were suddenly very eager to meet The Lord. They both left the table to meet The Lord early, with permission.
Back at the roof, which was being circled by Steele, The Lord remained in his seat, drinking Lave Wine, A Diamond Dog guard walked to his throne, "My Lord." The Diamond Dog spoke. "Two of the visitors wish to have a audience with you." The Lord thought about this for a moment, then dismissively waved his clawed hand, "Let them *Hick* in." He said, in his drunken stupor, "and get me a bucket of warm *Hick* milk." The Guard left after he saluted The Lord.
A few seconds passed, two unicorn's entered. The Lords throne was in the direction of the setting sun, with his back facing them. Before any of them could speak, a short Diamond Dog walked onto the roof, he walked passed the visitors, and stopped directly behind The Lord.
After a few words were passed, that the visitors could not hear, he gave a letter to The Lord, The Lord slashed open the letter with one of his claws, and begin reading in his mind.

After a few moments had passed, The Lord exchanged a few words with the Onyx guard on his right. Once The Lord was finished talking, The Onyx Warrior walked in front of the visitors, "The Lord can not see you at the moment"
__________
He know who he had just sent way. On the first year of his training, he was so hellbent on finding them, he never could. On the second, he decided traveling to all the ruins of pony establishments, once again failing. While traveling, he saw the state of the ponies, which was so bad he built a little town out in the desert. So many ponies flooded it, he had to make it into a city. He's been spending the last two years managing it.
While he sipped his milk, he had a idea for the celebration that will be held tonight.
Thankfully, the two visitors left peacefully, he'd hate to order His Guards to forcefully remove them. The few bits of sunlight were about to leave, The Lord stood up and called Steele to his side, " Listen Steele," The Lord said. "You know those strange metal things I keep in that Big Vault? I need you to go and fetch them, then bring them to me when the celebration starts." Steele nodded then flew off the roof.
--
Down in the sandy city, tireless workers were putting the finishing touch's to the arena and stage. Residents from all around the city will attend the large celebration to mark their Princess's return, although they still see them as Princess's, The Lord will always be their hero.
The Princess's will be taken to the front of the palace, once there, artists, musicians, wrestlers and many others will compete on stage and on a arena. It's rumored that even The Lord himself will make a appearance.
--
The Lord took the Elevator down to the hallways. He walked with both of his Onyx guards on each side to a dear friend's room. he passed many other rooms, but he paid them no mind, only focused on getting to a single door. A few minutes passed and the party was at the front of the door, once there, The Lord ordered his guards to stand guard at the door while he remained inside.
He entered hearing the sound of running water and singing, he couldn't identify the song, but he knew who it was. Coming from the bathroom.
The room was a 18 x 18 block room. It's wallpaper is a snow white with purple and pink dots. it had a queen size bed in it's center, on the night stand was a picture of Rarity, another with him on it. Various types of wool and cotton was all posted around the room. He walked towards the bathroom. "Yo, Sweetie." He said, while knocking. "Hurry up in there, I need to talk with you."
--
Sweetie Belle sat on her bed, her mane and tail still soaked. The Lord stood in front of her. "Listen Sweetie." He said. "I have good news, then I have better news. The Better News is that we've found your sister." Her eyes widen at this, she no doubt found herself found unable to speak. "The good news is, I want you to participate in The Competition that will be held tonight."
"Bu....bu-
A different voice answered him. "O Spike! So nice to see you again!"
--
Angry and disappointed. Rarity, followed by Twilight, stormed off in the direction they came. Not making it 15 feat, they smashed into a stallion, knocking him flat on his back.
Rarity was already helping him up the moment he fell down. "Oh! deepest apologizes!" She said while helping the older gentlestallion back to his hooves. "Tis Alright" He said. while raising from the warm sandstone floor. She knocked off his glasses too. He tried to find his cane and glasses, but only found failure.
Rarity picked up the large glasses with her teeth, and place them upon his snout. "Ah. Much better." He said, while rubbing his eyes. " Now, lemme get'a good look at ya." He leaned forward, not only 3 inch's from her worn face.
After a good long minute of him just staring at her, he took off his glasses and rubbed the lens, checking if there was any sand clouding his vision. "Rarity...Is that you?" He said in a gentle voice. At first, Rarity didn't know how this stallion even had a clue of who she was, but upon closer inspection, she figured out who he was, a former owner of one of her dresses of course! " Yes, it is I, Rarity Memire Jele." She noticed a small locket attached to a chain which hugged his neck, it had a picture of a purple heart on it.
She was about to comment on the locket, but she was pulled into a deep hug by the ancient stallion. "Oh Rarity!" He said "We've missed you so much! We all thought you were dead! Even Spike thought you passed, it was kinda hard for him."
He paused to gauge her reaction of seeing her father.
Dragon's Triangle, North Border
Far north, stood a lone figure. Encased in shiny diamond amour, and rode on a pig, it continued it's journey in silence.
In the distance, a massive sand city was the only source of light, other then the moonlight. The Figure let the hood of his robe fall back, revealing long, gray hair with aged blue eyes. It had a sword, made from Diamond, strapped to his back by a tight line of teal wool.
The figure hummed a little tune as he rode
Good morning, rise out of bed, see the sun shining
Eat some breakfast and then i'm gonna mining.
Grab my pickaxe, strap it on my back. and begin
the deep descent into my mine shaft
You know it's Minecraft, were consumed with all these blocks
Crafting Diggin' and Building, we just can't stop
It's addicting the hours we spend fightin' off mobs
and searching for treasure deep under the rock
When I say treasures I ain't talkin' about Coal
I ain't talking Iron lazuli or Redstone
I'm referencing things seldomly found while mining
Beautiful blocks of gold and shiny diamonds
I am obsessed
I spend all of my waking time
In mines tryin' to find them,
Where are they hiding?
Looking for lava, cuz I know it's near by
I'll uncover a cluster of maybe four, or five!
The Figure continued to hum despite the sounds of Zombies and Skellys.

Rosevine was unconscious as she was roughly dragged though a smelly hallway, it's floored was composed of cold stone, unlike the warm sandstone she has grown accustomed too. Her carriers, two guards, each have nasty looking swords hanging from their sides. they passed many cells and other holding compartments as they moved. It's occupants bare their teeth, claws, fangs, as they ventured.
She was thrown into a cell face first, upon this, she awoke. At first, she thought she was home in bed. The cold stone floor told her something else. Then she remembered how dead she was. She began to sob.
After a entire hour of sobbing, she arouse from the floor to see her living quarters, she was met with a terrible smell of a filthy Traitor's jail cell. Her bed was made up of soiled and dirty rags, her only way to deposit waste was with a dirty bucket. She began pounding the stone floor in anger. She was here all because of that Onyx Guard..
The job was simple; tell The Lord she wanted to go the Ruins of Canterlot, lead a couple of guards out into the open, then let the Ender-men kill them and take their amour. They killed half of them, the other half were to be sold as slaves. Unfortunately, they didn't plan on a Onyx Stealth Guard tailing them from the start.
An Onyx Stealth Guard was equipped with two Invisibility potions, a Enchanted bow(Power IV, Flame IV, Infinity I, Punch II), and no amour, for it would hinder their mobility. They have proven many times that they can camouflage themselves into any environment, thus earning the name Ghosts They're truly a force to be reckoned with. They also use TNT for traps, are very resourceful, have cat-like reflexes, and are very cunning, as well as smart.
He picked them all off with a well-placed trap, a block of TNT, and some redstone He was able to take them all out, with out even being seen.
" Look at 'er!" a mocking voice said, laughing. No doubt some guard. " All cryin' 'n stuff! Ya' see, Rooki'?" the voice continued, more voices added in insults and threats.
"Oh, we'r gonna starve yah, then were gonna feed yah' to Braz! Been som' time since she had filth!"
"Yah! We can do it in public, at the celebration! We can use the leftovers for teh fires!"
Howls and barks of agreement rang out, making her sobbing louder and more pitiful. When suddenly, the only sound was light foot steps coming towards her. The Guards all made clear for the foot steps, soon enough, the foot steps stopped in front of her
She raised her head to meet who it was. It was the Onyx Guard that took her in. He had a jagged scar going up his face. His lifeless voice spoke, "The Lord does not tolerate traitors. Your case shall be heard during the Celebration. If you are found guilty, which you are, you shall be fed to Braz. Understood?" He waited a few seconds for her to confirm she had understand.
Growing impatient, he grabbed her neck and brought it up to bars and once again asked "Understand!?" he shouted in her face, she whimpered and fell unconscious again. Unsatisfied with the answer, The Guard let the body fall back down to the cell's floors and went off to inform His Lord of the traitor.
__
Rarity's father was giving the two of them a grand tour of the place. While the tour, he informed them of all the great things the place held. When Rarity's Father informed them that, not only is Spike and Sweetie still alive, but running the entire place. Twilight thought the elder must have some brain problems, but decided not to talk about it. Instead, she asked about Spike and how he's doing.
He said he was doing mighty fine, but insists he's only to be called "The Lord." He says he lost his name the moment he lost his innocence. Rarity's father has tried to convince him to talk with someone other then his mentor, Steve. But he never does.
He has also became quite vicious over the years. He's even given hunting dogs a rank in his massive guard. Although he rules over the city with a iron-claw, he has a much more calmer side. He's collected all of there former pets.
Twilight asked questions regarding many things.
"Who's Steve?" She asked with a curious tone.
"Steve is unknown to everypony, but Spike. He shaped Spike into the dragon he is now. Spike says he lives underground now." He answered.
She made a mental note to meet Steve.
At the moment. He was leading them to his younger daughter's room. This time, he took them down the stairs. The noise was intense on the Elevator.
Two Onyx guards, the same ones from the roof, were guarding the door to Sweetie's room. Meaning that The Lord or Sweetie was inside. The Elite Guards were told not to let anything inside. Luckily, Rarity's Father partnership with The Lord allowed them to enter.
The girls stood behind Rarity's father as they entered.
Sweetie's room was large. It had snow-white wallpaper with pink and purpleish dots. In it's center, stood a familar figure standing over a young mare sitting on the edge of the bed. Rarity's Father greeted them as if he was 15 year old fangirl.
"Oh Spike! So nice to see you again!"
_-_-_-_
Nether, Fel Jail
The Nether was a entirely different dimension. Although it's a fiery hellhole, life still lives.
Life for anything there is tough. Even when you have 50 cobblestone block thick wall surrounding you with Onyx Hellhound Archers perched on top.
In it's center, a massive jail took place. It housed the most vile creatures ever to breath.
Queen Chrysails's wings was laid upon a small summoning stone with two Onyx Hellhounds next to it.
Onyx Hellhounds are just like normal Onyx guards. Except they were trained to fight in the Nether. The gear one had is a bow with Power V and Infin I, a Iron Sword enchanted with Power VI, Knockback II, and drank a life-long Fire Resistance potion once they took the rank. They have a complete set of Iron armor with Fire Resistance IV.
Think of hellhounds standing on two legs with armor and weapons.
King Sombra's horn and cape was laid to rest on a summoning stone next to Chrysails.
Nightmare Moon's chest plate was placed next to it on a summoning stone.
Each of these items once belonged to evil doers (That Right?) that had done terrible things. The Lord had all of these relics captured and placed in the prison.
It's Warden was a choice quite strange. It's Warden was the former god of chaos, now reformed and deployed, Discord. Discord once reeked havoc and chaos on ponies. But Princess Celestia had him reformed and all. He can no longer use any magic, nor can the unicorns. The Lord ordered him to rule the hellish prison. Which he does mostly out of fear, The Lord was quite strong. With a massive guard of dogs trained to kill ready to die for him. Not excusing the fact his power rules over all of Equestria.
_-_-_-_
Dune City, Lord's vault
The Vault's opening was guarded by two Onyx Guards. Steele was granted access due to the fact her father was their Savior
Inside the vault which held all of The Lord's most precious items. Steele had to walk on the walkway of gold to get to what she wanted.
Though out the time the Lord wasn't building the glorious, he was looking for some old friends he told her about when she was a hatchling. He used to tell her stories about them at bed time. Times when there wasn't blocks, these friends were once bearers of a great force of friendship.
Together, they defeated many a great enemies. Discord, now Warden of Fel, was once seen a villain by the Old Equestria. Even though he's like a uncle to her.
Nightmare Moon. She never knew her, but what her father tells her, she pitied her. She was once a great princess and goddess. She ruled alongside her sister, Celestia. But her anger and jealousy got the best of her, and she was banished to the moon.
1,000 years later, she returned to try to make it night forever. But the bearers defeated her and turned her once again to the princess she was before. Her sister forgave her and let her co-rule again.
King Sombra. A evil unicorn that enslaved an entire kingdom, was banished by the sisters. Many years later, he returned to reek his revenge upon the sisters. The sister sent the bearers to defeat him, which they did with gusto. But before they could. they had to find The Crystal Heart, a relic that was needed to banish him again.
The Evil unicorn had hidden it. But one of the bearers found it, Twilight. Unfortunately, he had placed a trap spell around it. So when she grabbed it, she was trapped. She gave it to her father who was only a baby and he ran it back to it's summoning stone.
"Good stories" she thought as she crossed he walkway.
A few minutes later. She reached the end of her quest.
Eight golden bits of jewelry, riddled with rubies and other rare rocks, laid on eight podiums with strange symbols on them
She didn't know it, but these were The Elements of Harmony. Those two others were chest plates worn by the sisters. The Lord took these himself. They were scattered around the Ruins of Canterlot. Amazing that no Endermen nabbed them. He bought the chest plates and shoes from the Ender Black market
She placed them under her neck scales and ran back to her father.

The figure reached the eastern wall of they city in soon time. He pulled a grappling hook from his cloak and threw it up and over the wall.The figure slowly climbed the wall. Luckily, all guards were off somewhere else. The figure reached the top without any trouble. The mysterious male let the grappling hook fall back to the ground with his faithful and steadfast pig, who was tied to fence post.
The cloaked man shook off his cloak, revealing a short bow tied to his back alongside the sword. His eyes were blue and he wore a teal shirt with blue pants.
The strange creature jumped from the wall tops with a mighty display of leg strength. He landed on a small house without a sound. He repeated this process until he reached the place he wanted to be. A massive courtyard with a medium sized pit in it's center. Hundreds of ponies gathered down there. Their attention was focused on a powerful person who stood at his throne.
He took his bow and aimed at his target.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Spike ducked, once again dodging another flying Rarity. The unicorn was trying to catch Spike by lunging herself at him. The others were trying to subdue her.
Years before everything happened, Spike and Rarity were in a relationship. He was always fond of her. Enough to be a pin cushion her. Their love was true. But a few weeks into it. Rarity started to be a bit.......clingy. Clingy is a understatement. It was a obsession. She would wait outside his door every day. She would wait outside the window his room had and watch him sleep.
It was quite strange.
The breakup was pathetic and sad.
Rarity turned around quicker then he expected and lunged. He couldn't dodge it in time and she got her prize. Thankfully. He still donned his Golden Chestplate. Unfortunately. Sweetie Bell's bed was the place they landed
Rarity started touching his neck and back. All of his protests and struggling alarmed his guards. They stormed in while the kissy-kissy session was doing down South.
They pulled her off the dragon. The young lord stood up and wiped the marks she left and said in a calm manner "Hold her outside the room." They carried her off while she struggled to escape their combined grip. Her resistance was clearly in vain.
Her father, Magnum, deeply apologized for his daughters behavior and lust. Twilight, however, contemplated on how the dragon could treat another being so coldly. Before he treated her as he would a mare. But now, he just treated her as if she was a rapid animal. And she spotted that the guards dealt with her, not him.
"Rules this city with an iron claw." The words wormed it's way to the surface of her vast mind. An involuntary shiver snaked up her spine as she got a good look at her former little dragon. He was tall, easily 6 foot, and he wore a chest-plate, which appeared to be make of a shiny yellow metal. But the most frightening feature the dragon had was the out of place sword on his back. It's handle poked from behind his left shoulder. She also found menacing the long lines of strange symbols running down his legs and arms.
He drew his draconic eyes to her. "You gonna stand there after four years of not seeing each other," He said with a grin. "Or you gonna come gimme a hug?" He held out his arms. The outstretched arms were much bigger then she last saw them. So was everything else about him. Still, this was her dragon. no matter the size. She always will be by to help him.
She got up on her back legs and let herself fall into a big hug with the dragon. They held the embrace a few seconds before breaking off. The unicorn was glad to finally be reunited with the young drake.
"What happened to you?" She asked. When the Princesses realized that their kingdom's population was being stolen and killed. They ordered all residents to evacuate to Canterlot. They all thought the guards would scare off the monsters that plagued their homes. The guards were useless against the baddies. The swords and spears couldn't even harm them. They were carried off into the night by the tall black ones.
The tall black ones carried off many ponies. The fate of these ponies was never known but it was assumed that they were killed. Many mothers and fathers wept because the small ones were stolen in the night. They somehow developed the ability to teleport themselves over large distances with ease. They were the only things able to pick up blocks without blowing them up, and place them anywhere they wished. These evil creatures were obsessed with gold and power. Greed. That's what led them to takeover Equestria. The fate of other kingdoms couldn't be figured out.
Those horrible creatures took Spike away from her. The person she considered her brother. Only three males were special to her. Her father, Shining Armour, and Spike. She hatched him from his egg. Granted, he wasn't supposed to come out until another 70 years. But that was beside the point. He was special to her. And he couldn't even hope to harm one of them.
"I'll explain everything once everyone is here." He informed her. He called in the guards who were holding Rarity inside. She was exhausted by her little fit and was dragged in. They loosen their grip on her per The Lords command. He got down on one of his knees and gently shifted her head with his right hand. He assumed she was unconscious and ordered the guards to let her rest with Sweetie Bell. The dragon left with Twilight to the lunchroom to greet the rest.
The lunchroom was little more than an mess of food, deserts, silverware, and ponies when The Lord and Twilight entered. The two guards stationed at the door informed the dragon before they entered of the mess, but the scaled warrior couldn't think of the way that the few dozen ponies who were exhausted and starved from wherever they came could create the mess he now gazed upon. What few guards who were there had reported that they...grew an mad appetite for cake, then carrots, and last carrot cake. They did an number on the cake supply, especially the big white one who was known as Princess Celestia. This all happened after some of their wounded came to eat.
He noticed that the once rulers head was buried in an small cake which laid dismantled on the tables surface. Before they came to the city. He had ran quite a few searches for lost ponies. Some were even ponies he knew. He found Big mac, Apple Bloom, and even Granny Smith all huddled together in an little cave in The Everfree Forest. He also found many others who were all now housed though out his majestic city. He couldn't show favoritism to his past friends. What few ponies who were housed in the palace were maids, servants and pony representatives. Ponies aren't allowed to become anything more then that. There's no discrimination or stuff like that. Almost none of them could fuse with any Mark, thus making them useless fighters or medics for his dogs. He made an mental note to explain what an Mark is later.
Marks are symbols of power that can only be drawn by the dragon and Steve. They're tattooed using very special ink These symbols allow him to do everything he can. Shoot fire from his hands, collect broken blocks, and use tools. Diamond Dogs bodies can fuse with some marks. The Mark of Tool which allows the wearer to wield tools such as pickaxes, bows, or swords. The Mark of Attack which allows the wearer to do harm to friendly or hostile mobs. And The Mark of Armor which allows the wearer to don themselves in armor which will lighten any attack on you. In addition of having all of those, they also have The Mark of Allegiance which shows their devotion to him for saving their entire species. Some special dogs can fuse with more prestigious marks, most being high-ranking officers and generals In truth, there are hundreds of marks. Only two people can fuse themselves with all of them. That's The Lord, and Steve.
Some Marks could be used by the two exclusively. The Mark of Crafting, this mark is very special. It makes him able to use an workbenche, brewing stands, furnaces . Giving him the power to create things. Swords, bows, axes, you name it. The Mark of Broken Collector. This symbol gives the wearer an safe place to store items. A small space, mind you. His space is capable of holding up to thirty stacks of blocks. Steve says this secure place is somewhere in the Aether. On top of all these Marks. He is also equipped with the Mark of Placing. Due to this mark only being shared by him, Steve, and Endermen, this mark is very valuable. This mark allows the wearer to pick, and place blocks.
The Princess was clearly asleep in her cake. The others were either asleep, or talking too much to notice them. It was rumored that Celestia had an strange cake obsession before. Twilight shook her shoulder to arouse her. The former ruler comically rose her head with it still covered in frosting and icing. Her head-cake tried to look around to spot the person who dared to wake her from her cake-sleep.
She brought her head to an stop with Twilight the subject of her interest. Little bits of icing flew everywhere due to her head swaying. Both of her eyes were blocked by blobs of icing, greatly reducing her version's quality. Still, she was able to identify the former magic user. She glared down at the pony.
"Umm...Princess." Twilight said nervously. "The Prince, no I mean King. no the um.." She paused and tried to find an word to describe The Lord's lordmenship (That even an word?)
After a few moments of futile ramblings, Twilight resorted to pointing her hoof to the only dragon in the room, who was examining an silver goblet on the ceiling. An strange green goo was keeping it in place. The scaled hero thought it sorta looked like an Slime Ball.
"Spike," An familiar voice speaking his former name brought him out of his examination. He turned around and saw that both of the horned ponies were looking at him, though it seemed the Princess couldn't make him out. Twilight offered to clean her face with an napkin but the ageless pony denied her offer and did the task herself.
Some of the other ponies started to notice the presence of the dragon. He could see from the sides of his sight the ponies were throwing strange and fascinated looks at him. A young filly walked up to him slowly. Many young fillies were orphaned when parents were stolen or killed. This must be one of them. Here, he as made several programs for these fillies to find new guardians. The lucky few who could fuse with an Mark is allowed to enter his warband. If they so choose. He knew many ponies wanted to join the guard. But a pony who could fuse was quite the rarity.
As the young child walked under the silver goblet, it fell. The clang stole the attention of all the ponies. Thankfully, it missed the child. But the blob of green slime that as now came back to life is on course for the youngin'. The nearest guard was all the way back to the door and the ponies couldn't assist. With ease, the dragon reached over the filly and caught the small slimeball. It was just big enough to hurt him or the child. The scaled lord laughed as he slowly tore about the small blob down the middle with his index claw. The ponies watched him do the deed with a new found respect for saving the small one, however. the fact he didn't hesitate to do it was what scared the little of them. They've roamed the countryside for years and not once have they seen anyone kill a monster.
They cheered him on.
