Using a large amount of his power, he began to sew the universe intending to create suitable conditions for life. After creating the universe, and many planets Vengeance was tired from all of his hard works, so he decided to create a stallion capable of finishing the work for him. He used an imense amount of power and created the builder who was granted the spirit of creation and destruction. "Welcome child." Vengeance said in a deep gruff voice. "Wha...what is this place?" The large, seven foot, stallion asked with another deep voice. "It does not matter young one. You must fulfill your purpose then you will know the answers you desire." He replied before he vanished. The builder instantaneously knew what tasks he must complete and set out to complete them. He decided to create the planet that would hold life, as he flew towards a massive planet that looked about the size he would need he began to think of the things that a planet suitable for life would need. The first thoughts that appeared in his head were ones of warmth, because the planet would need to be warm enough so the inhabitants would not freeze to death. Using his massive hands he tunneled into the core of the earth and opened up a large circular cavern to fill with the hottest substance, lava. After filling the core he filled the long tunnel with stone just like what he had to dig through. While he was creating gloomy forests, large mountain ranges, and deep ravines, the lava in the center began to swirl and form itself into a tight ball. The ball compressed, and expanded repeatedly before it all settled it flashed brightly and violently. The planet shook violently as a flaming red snakelike dragon shot through the ground creating a massive volcano. He had an evil look in his eyes because he was the spirit of evil and destruction. "Who are you?" The stallion said as he halted his work. "I am fire fall! The true question is who are you?" Firefall replied staring down the stallion. "I am the spirit of all that is good and the spirit of creation." The stallion replied glaring at the dragon. "I think I'll just call you Gary." The dragon said smugly at his clever creation. The was a flash of light behind the red snakelike dragon which made gary shut his eyes, and put his hands up in front of his face. "I have been expecting your creation." vengeance said in a moderate tone. "Who are you?" The dragon said slightly annoyed at the stallion. "Vengeance. I am the creator of this whole universe and everything that happens in it, Including you so watch your tone." He said his expression unchanging as he looked over the large dragon. "well, what is this place?" firefall asked looking at his superior. "It is only what you two decide to make it." He said teleporting away before they could reply to what he had said. Firefall had an epiphany of what he was created for. "well what are we waiting on?" He said looking back to his brother who was still just hovering in the emptiness. Gary returned to his work creating beautiful masterpieces, whilst firefall followed him around balancing the beautiful good with his evil destruction so that the planets would always be even, good would not over power evil and evil would not overpower good. They made short work of the planets and as they floated there admiring their work the dust on the coldest planet, which was farthest from the sun, begin to swirl in a freezing wind until it compressed to form the third brother Icywind, named by how he was created in an icy wind. "Brothers!" He called already knowing who they were, because even though he was the youngest of the origins he was the smartest. They stood back and let him go forward to do his work of creating life on the planet they had chosen for life. He created a three large groups of mares and stallions, these groups were the Earthen ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns. Then he made a two royal alicorns who were meant to rule over this new land that had been created. "Good work boys." Vengeance called as he crept from the darkness of the universe. "Thank you father." Icywind said as he joined his brothers and their creator. The eldest boys ignored the appraisal of their father and rushed into the young ruler to take control over what they thought was rightfully theirs. For months the eldest ruled with fear, until a brave soul ironically named brave soul confronted them. "Kings why must you take over this kingdom we have created? you take our work claim it as your own and spit on us as if we should be your servants."He said not bothering to knock on the door before entering, or bowing before speaking because he knew what he had just said would probably get him killed. "It is our right to rule this kingdom you worthless little earth pony." Gary and firefall said in unison as Icywind watched from a distance in disgust. "But sires thats..." His sentenced was was cut off by the beheading he was given from the magic blades of the eldest brother. They then carried the head to the window and held it out for the whole town to see. "Let this be a lesson. To all of you! Defiance will not be tolerated in any measures!" They boomed as the mouths of the townspeople hung in shock and awe. Instead of fearing the kings they waited for them to reenter their castle then they prepared for an attack which would happen in the middle of the night. When the clock tower struck twelve the town launched an attack against the castle hoping to kill the kings in their sleep. The battle raged for hours with many casualties, of townsfolk. Icywind joined his brothers, grabbed them by the shoulders and teleported them far away into a cave many miles away. Once in the cave he through them up against into a dead end branch of the cave system. "I am the spirit of new beginnings and it is time for the townsfolk to have a new beginning!" He yelled before freezing his brothers in an icy prison that could be melted only by the hottest fire. After using up so much of his power he teleported into another cave hundreds of miles away and froze himself in the same ice, except he himself could bust through this ice if he needed too. Author's Note Vengeance is a character created by Blackhydra4 I recommend you check him out! This story revolves around kaikrussians which is also a concept made by blackhydra4. ( I will go into more detail on the kaikrussians in the next chapter when they make their first appearance in this story). Yes I have permission to use these characters and ideas in my story. Kain Shonus and the Cave of Ice"So you're positive that the cave is this way?" I asked rainbow dash as I walked, and she flew, in the direction she was telling me. "Yes! I am absolutely positive that its this way!" She sighed as I walked on. "If it's not I am going to literally kill you for sending me on a wild goose chase." I said as she slowed down. "All right, All right. whatever. I gotta go though, I am supposed to be meeting this stallion for lunch at noon." She said checking her phone before waving goodbye. I waved back and she sped back towards town leaving me out on the deserted road that was heavily worn down. I continued along the road my head in the clouds, metaphorically. I may be the tallest unicorn in Ponyville but I still only stand six and a half feet tall. As I walked along my head swam through information about where I was from, Kaikrussia. I knew only a few things and they were kind of important. First of all I would never get one of those marks that everyone had on their arms, My ancestors ate nothing but meat so I have to Be very careful around small woodland creatures because my urges might kick in, ludesma is my greatest enemy, and that the absolute greatest blacksmiths from all over the world are from Kaikrussia. I know these things because I had been borrowing a lot of books about my countries history. I was born only eighteen and a half years ago, My parents moved me here when I was five, and I didn't start taking interest in my history until last year. As I was off in la-la land I nearly missed the entrance to the cave. "Why hello there." I said to no one in particular as I retrieved my flashlight from my Backpack. I moved the long stringy vines out of my way and stepped in through the cobwebs, carefully avoiding the rocks that were stacked up. They looked as if the slightest gust of wind would send them crashing down the gentle decline of the cave. I moved past them and turned my flashlight on illuminating a five foot radius. The air quickly chilled and I hadn't brought a jacket so I had to just continue through the cold air. As I trudged through the dark, cold, and moist cave, a cold wind blew past my ear and sounded as if it was murmuring something. " Hello ? Is someone down here? " I called out as I reached for the knife strapped to my leg. After holding still for a few minutes I began to move deeper into the cave again. After traveling for twenty more minutes I could see a source of light down a long tunnel, so i began to run because i wanted to see what was creating all of the light. The long, dark tunnel opened into a room that was so large I could not so the edges from the opening of the tunnel. The room was illuminated from a large pit in the middle of the room which must have been filled with lava. I silently crept through the darkness until I was a few feet away, then I dropped to a crawling position so that i wouldn't accidentally trip and fall into the boiling lava. " This is absolutely amazing " I crawled around the lava pit using it as a light source so I wouldn't have to waste the little bit of batteries I had left. As I crawled away from the pit I stood, and turned on my flashlight. The beam rushed out and bounced off something metallic in the wall, casting a bright glow throughout the entire cavern, revealing a large patch of ice. " what the...?" I quickly grabbed my book of caves and ores by rinon hinok, and loudly fumbled through the pages. After a few minutes of searching and finding nothing I noticed something in the chapter entitled cave dangers. " Unbreakable Ice Patches: sealed by royals to hide something or seal off passages to treacherous to cross" I read aloud as if someone was in the room with me. My decision to read aloud was completely involuntary, like someone was forcing me to read aloud so they could hear the passage too. I quickly pointed the flashlight at the crystal so the whole room would be illuminated and checked to see if somepony else was in the room. " The only way to break the hexical spell was with the hottest substance the earth could create or the royal who sealed off the door." Again something had forced me to read it aloud. After a moment of long contemplation I decided this large opening would be the best place to set up a base camp. Throughout the rest of the day I made many trips through the cave bringing alot of supplies down to set up a decent base. I had torches on the walls and about six or seven containers labeled with ores I had seen and hope to find. With my black steel cauldron and my Iron anvil sitting ten feet away from the lava pit I began making the final climb out of the cave for the night, excited to practice the next day. Kain Shonus and the origins.The next day my alarm clock went off extremely early, before the sun rose above the horizon. After drinking some orange juice with a small shot of vodka I happily dressed and sped out of my house. Some of the undesirable ponies were still out, going home from some rave or gangbang or something along those lines. I strolled past them, having to physically push a few of the out of my way. The long trek was peaceful and chilly even though I had my leather jacket on, once I arrived at the cave I retrieved my flashlight and stepped through the vines. The cave seemed less gloomy today, almost as if there was more life lurking in its depths. The area became warmer once I crossed into the room with the rather large lava pool in the middle of it. I shrugged off my jacket and tossed it by the ice, which had an odd presence today. It felt almost as if the ice was watching me. I disregarded the odd feeling and collected the pickaxe which I had brought in yesterday. Using heavy swings I began to mine through the wall, hungry to find ores to smelt with. The first ore I need was black steel, to make buckets and strong rods to use as handles on the heavier weapons I was planning on smithing. After a grueling hour of mining, ad my hands were beginning to sting I stumbled across a small vein of black steel. With a slightly happier heart I swung my pick a few more times and collected enough black steel to create a bucket. I placed the material into the smeltery and took my book about minerals, and used the index to search lava. " The hottest substance on earth, rumored to be able to melt a patch of unbreakable ice." I read aloud again, not knowing the reason why. I had no further reason to read anymore, I then checked the smeltery to see it had completed its task. I pulled the still warm and soft metal out of the cold smeltery. Using a hammer I pounded the metal flat and bent it into the shape of a bucket. I then placed the bucket back into the smeltery to causes the folds in the metal to bond together. Once it finished smelting and bonding I carefully collected some lave and dug a trench in front of the ice patch. " alright time to find out what's hidden in there." I said nervously to myself before pouring the hot bucket into the trench. The Ice began to steam, filling the room. The ice did not turn into water as I had expected, just into copious amounts of steam. I backed away trying to fan it away from my face. Once I stepped far enough back I could see two spots of red. "Step aside kain." A booming deep voice called through the smoke. In awe I sneak to the side trying to sneak towards the cave entrance. A bright red dragon shot through the hole in the wall and dove into the lava pit. A tall stallion walked through the hole and turned directly towards me, making me freeze in my tracks. " kain do not fear us, I am the spirit of all that is good and creation." He said in a deep, soothing voice. He stood about half a foot taller than I and looked as if he would not hurt any living thing. "I prefer to call him gary, i'm firefall, I am a force put here to balance out the creation and good." The Dragon spoke, resting his upper body on the lip of the pit he was swimming about. "Why were you both frozen in that patch of ice?" I spat out after a moments silence, still nervous about saying anything at all. " our brother became angered with us and froze us deep with in this cave, he wanted to prevent us from ruling the place we had created." They both said in unison. I nodded and we stood there in silence as the air seemed to almost thicken. "Go home and get some rest kain, you have had a long day." Gary said, I don't remember walking home but I do remember climbing into bed and going to sleep. Author's Note I know I've been away for a loooooooooooooooong time but I'm back and clicking into overdrive! Anyway here Is part three! Enjoy! The forging of a hero.I woke up the next morning, my mind still reeling from the day before, was it all a dream? I got up and mixed a screwdriver. I then quickly got dressed and pulled on my jacket stepping into the cool morning air, the sun was just poking up above the horizon. I shouldered past another group of undesirables on my way to the cave. Once I got to the cave I felt happier, as if all the anger in the world that had seeped into me and built up had vanished into thin air. I strolled, carefree, into the depths of the cave, where my new friends should be waiting for me. I stepped into the cavern and noticed something was off, the space seemed wider. If it wasn't for the torches in the corner I wouldn't have been able to see the other end of the room. Firefall was laying lazily in the hole where the ice had once been. Gary was sitting atop the chests which now overflowed with smelled ingots and unsmelted ores. " hello kain, did you sleep well? We also have a surprise for you." Gary said standing up, firefall still slept in the corner, so still he looked dead. "Slept fine, probably not better than him though. What's the surprise?" I gestured to the big red dragon before I asked my question. "He was up mining all night, he got all of these ores as a thank you for freeing us from our prison. We also heard you wanted to practice smithing and forgery." He said stepping away from the chest which were nearly overflowing. "How did you know I was wanting to start smithing?" I asked almost astonished at the fact that he knew that I wanted to Smith things, although I wonder if he knew what I wanted to smith. "Well we also have something to confess. We have a plan, to take back what is rightfully ours, the crowns." Firefall spoke frome his little Cove along the back wall slowly getting up to his feet. This shocked me at first, it was no doubt in my mind that I had to help, two of the four origins were standing in front of me, asking me for help to take back their thrones. "What do you need me to do? " I asked stepping forward to stand before them. "We need weapons and armor, celestias army is going to put up one he'll of a fight. And make a set for yourself, we want you in battle with us, you being the only one we can trust right now." Gary said placing his hand upon my shoulder. I stepped around them and took up my hammer and took some of the blood iron to start on a chest plate. Many miles away in a desolate cave... The ice around icywind began to melt quickly although as he stood he was weak. About three miles of stone and hard rock stood between him and the surface, grueling as it would be he knew he would have to do it. The only reason he would have awoken would be if the ice around his brethren had been broken or had melted. "This is wrong." He stuttered to himself as he began to smash the rock above his head. In the ever free forest... "Evil is stirring my young ones, and once it breaks out we shall attack!" Queen Chrysalis shouted to her hungry changelings, they growled and shouted back, frothing at the mouths over the thought of fresh blood. "Go! Spread out and be prepared, feast on small animals and lone stray ponies! Prepare yourselves!" She shouted before her hungry army dispersed through the woods into the grasslands outside ponyville. In the caves, hours later... "Gary! Firefall!" I'm shouted, almost collapsing to the ground as I moved the final price of armor, laying them out across the ground, a full suit of armor and a single weapon with each set. Firefall slithered back down into the cave, blood dripping from his lips, obviously from eating small animals, Gary followed, a chunk of rabbit in his right hand. "These are the most beautiful armor sets I've seen, better than out old worn out ancient pairs." Gary said tossing the rabbit meat at me, I had to fight basic instincts to keep from going crazy and tearing into the meat. "Eat it brogher, you will need your strength for what happens next." Firefall stated as he shrugged on his armor, admiring each piece. Both of them pulled weapons out of thin air, Garys was a golden sword about a foot and a half long, firefalls was a scythe, with a four foot handle and a one foot red tinted blade. Both weapons looked transparent and had smoke, colored the same as the weapons themselves slowly drifting off from the blades. "As a reward for your bravery and loyalty to us we are going to make you as powerful as we are." Gary spoke sheathing both weapons and removing his metallic gloves. Firefall did the same. "This will be painful but it will be worth it in the end." Gary spoke before the both grabbed ahold of me. I felt instant power surge through me but it did not Hurt like they had said it would. It felt great, as if my molecules were rearranging themselves as I stood there. Then the pain began, it was excruciating, two large spots of pain through my back. It felt as though my skin was being torn apart, as a massive force was pushing out through my back. I stood with standing the pain for what felt like forever, then the edges of my vision began to blur. I blinked them away for as long as possible, which wasn't much longer, until the darkness overtook my vision fully leaving me blacked out in their grasp. Author's Note I can't remember if this was previously mentioned but he Is a unicorn. The preparation of an army.I woke, the pain in my back now mostly gone, only a dull burning sensation remained. I slowly stood, lightheaded and dizzy, the world was spinning around me very fast. "You lasted alot longer than anybody else, congratulations." Gary spoke to me lightly putting his hand on my shoulder. My dizziness began to subside as I drank from my canteen of water. "You've done this before?" I managed to sputter out, my voice raspy and horse. "Kind of, the last person passed out after a minute of the pain and didn't wake up again" Firefall spoke calmly as if what he had just said wasn't out of the ordinary. "How long did I last?" I asked after drinking down more of the water. "About twenty minutes, you passed out just before we finished the transformation" Gary spoke again almost sounding partially in awe, although I didn't think he truly was in awe. I was proud of myself for lasting as long I had, although I still didn't know what had happened completely. "I modified your armor while you were out so that it would actually fit the new you" fire fall said holding out my dark red iron armor. There were now two holes in the back , cleanly cut and smoothed out so the metal wouldn't be sharp. "Wouldn't the holes make the armor more vulnerable? " I asked stupidly, still oblivious to the situation at hand. "You mean you still haven't noticed ?" Firefall asked lowering the chest plate, a sad look in his eyes, his mouth slightly turned down. "You do have an impressive wingspan, about nine feet long."Gary said, this seemed to slap me across the face, what did he mean wings? I don't know how I hadn't noticed them before. I felt stupid that I hadn't noticed, it felt like two portions of my back had been elongated. They felt natural though as if they had always been there, in fact I can't remember them not being there. Without even having to think about doing it the muscles in my back began to move, my wings began to flap and I began to lift off the ground. "This is so cool!" I shouted as I hovered, a big smile on my face. "In order to take back our thrones we are going to have to fight for them, the princesses will not give them back willingly. " Gary spoke solemnly, almost as if he was sad that they had to fight off the princesses army. "So you need me to go and gather an army? What will a bunch of citizens be able to do?" I ask, noticing the remains of my shirt strewn across the floor. I guess the only thing left was my jacket. "Well obviously we would carry the war effort, they would be there to support us, and possibly help keep the guards at bay." Firefall said stepping closer to me. " I'll do it, give me twenty four hours." I say before collecting my jacket and stalking up out of the cave, shrugging it on as I walked out into the cool night air. The wind blew a unknown smell across my face, almost beastly and primal. As I walked along the desolate barren dirt road, the bushes along the edge began to shimmer and shake violently. A small black creature riddled with holes, and greenish tinged wings. The small monster flew straight towards my face, with a violent force I smacked it to the ground. I slammed my foot down on top of its head a blood splattered out, more of those creatures dispersed out into the night sky, fleeing. "You that's right you had better run!" I shouted at them as they flew into the darkness, only their black silhouette visible along the moon, i chuckled to myself leaving the bloodied corpse behind me. "Kain you're out late" rainbowdash called from somewhere up above. "Rainbow meet me at my house! I have something to show you." I tried to say not creepily, although I realize that in the middle of the night this does sound incredibly creepy. Luckily she didn't call me out on it, she just followed me to my house. I opened the door and let her through, entering behind her then closing the door and locking it. At the sound of the click rainbow spun around and looked me in the eyes. "What are you doing?" She asked taking a step back, not fully retreat in but putting some distance between us. "You have to listen to me, although it will sound very strange" I said tugging on the opening of my jacket, but staying where I stood. " I really like you too" she exclaimed before jumping onto me, wrapping her legs around me, and planting a kiss onto my lips. I tried to push her off, but she held tightly to me, trying to undo my jacket. With a sudden surge of strength I pushed her off. "RAINBOW! Stop!" I shouted extremely loud, as if all the power was being used in my voice. She stood where she had landed, a look of confusion sat on her face, a tinge of sadness in her eyes. "That's not why I called you here!" I shouted before slowly beginning to take off my jacket, my wings still tightly curled behind my back. Her look of confusion in her eyes intensified, she stood there looking at me before opening her mouth as if to speak, I held up my hand to keep her quiet. I slowly allowed my wings to unfurl, barely fitting in the small space. Her face went from one of confusion to one of awe, her mouth hanging wide open. She slowly moved towards me and reached out to touch them. She smiled widely at the thought of having a new flying partner. I quickly explained about finding the origins and how they did this to me, how they need an army. To my surprise rainbow broke her loyalty to the princesses and happily agreed to fight to the death for them, she even agreed to lead any pegasi that joined into the fight. I said a quick thank you and we both left my house, rainbow went to recruit some of her friends. With my jacket in hand I jumped into the sky and I flew towards sweet apple acres, faster than rainbow could, Although I doubt she would ever admit to it. I gently landed on the roof, right next to applejacks window. I tapped on the window just loud enough so that she would wake up, the light switched on and opened the window. "Hey darling what are you doing here so late?" Applejack asked leaning out the window. "I have something to tell you and it's important" I say, her face instantly contorting to one of worry, then her face changed to one of anger. "What the hell is this?" She wiped something off my lips, I Instantly recognized the rainbow colored lipstick, which meant Applejack recognized it too. She gave me a hard slap across the face and pushed me off the roof, she slammed the window shut but the light remained on. I watched as the light in their gun room came on, which made me very worried. She kicked the front door open, granny smith closely on her tail, Applejack had a shotgun pointed at my head. "Please don't" granny pleaded with her clutching to her right arm, the trigger arm. "Babe I can explain!" I say throwing up my hands, covering my face, my wings wrapped around me, also shielding me from her. I heard two sharp gasps, on from my marefriend and one from her grandmother, I didn't know her grandmother very well, but she did know I didn't have wings . "W-when did you get those?" Applejack stammered, I heard the sound of her shotgun clattering to the ground, I then felt the gentle feeling of Applejack touching my wings to see if they were real. I relayed the story of Gary and firefall, as they listened, wide eyed. They both said they would get there guns and spread the word, it felt like I didn't have to do any bit of work, the story seemed to be spreading itself. I kissed Applejack and then launched off into the air, wind whistling across my wings, blowing my hair out of place, I sped right into town center, the sun was just beginning to rise, shopkeeps were opening up their booth. I shouted to all of them to be ready, that a war as taking place and they could participate or hide, I told them why this battle would take place and told them to get the word out quickly. Then I spun around and flew as fast a I possibly could back to the caves to report to Gary and firefall. The day a good pony goes to war."So the whole town has our backs? That's just great!" Firefall shouted with laughter, probably at how easily everyone just agreed to some stranger with a loud voice shouting about supposedly finding the origins. "You have proven your loyalty to us, so we will show you how to get your soul bound weapon. The ones like ours* his transparent sword appeared, clutched in his right hand. I nodded very excitedly, I loved how those weapons looked, although I didn't know if It would deal very much damage. "Just imagine raw power, hold your hand out as if holding a weapon, the color and type of weapon will come naturally, just focus on power. Raw power!" Gary spoke as I closed my eyes, I don't know why it just felt right, and followed his instructions. I felt power draining from my core, flowing down my arm and into my palm, as the energy began to stop I opened my eyes. A black smoky transparent double sided battle Axe, it had the weight of a light sword, and was very comfortable to hold. "So I can call upon this weapon whenever I please?" I asked swinging the weapon around lamely, just toying with the weapon. As I played with it it disintegrated into a black powder and was absorbed by the floor. "Yes, and apparently that is a good thing!" Firefall joked with me as he began to shrug on his armor. Gary and I both began to do the same, it was the day a good pony went to war. Firefall and Gary stood at the top of the hill, overlooking a large field between the kingdom and us. Gary had a large very powerful megaphone in his hand although I doubt he would need it, given how powerful his voice was. The army, including myself hid behind the hill, firefall nodded to me before Gary spoke. "Princess cadence it is I! I still love you after all those years!" Gary boomed, I was right he really didn't need that megaphone, we waited behind the hill as the plan was set into action. Cadence and a few guards sped through the sky and landed in front of gary. There was a big smile on her face as she leaned in to kiss him, he leaned in too, but then she screamed, red liquid flowed out of the hole in her chest. Garys golden sword turned to a fine dust as the guards put their knives to Gary and firefalls throat. "Charge!" I screamed launching into the air above the feild, the guards were caught off guard, which was ironic. Nearly every citizen in ponyville was charging at them, swords and guns, the two guards were swallowed by the mass of ponies, most likely stabbed more than once. I dove into the crowd my soul bound weapon materializing in my right hand, my short sword in my left. I allowed myself to fall into the midst of the fight, bringing my soul bound battle Axe down through the head of a heavily armored pony. I allowed the Axe to disintegrate as I plunged my sword into another's exposed eye. One guard grabbed my left arm and tossed it over his shoulder, a grin on his face from disarming me. My other weapon materialized and I swung it lowly, cutting through his soft knees and sending him straight to the ground. A loud screech caused everyone who was in the midst of a fight to pause and and look towards where the sound came from. The fourth origin, icywind , Burst through the ground, sending dirt and stone spraying in all directions, clanking loudly against helmets. "Brothers! I do not know how you escaped your prison, but you won't be able to escape this time! For i will kill you!" Icywinds voice boomed across the field, this statement made Gary and firefall burst into guttural laughter. Icywind launched across the field, directly towards Gary and firefall, I launched off the ground and smashed into him causing him to fall towards the ground crushing a few soldiers. I fell from the sky my battle Axe materializing in my hands, with the force of my fall I slammed the Axe through his chest. Time seemed to slow around us as he threw me forty feet into the air. He launched up at me, blood spilling out of the wound on his side, with all the strength I could muster I hurled the Axe at him. It spun multiple times in the air before embedding itself between his eyes, beginning to disintegrate as soon as it struck. A burst of cold wind and snow exploded across the field lightly dusting everything with snow. The slight snow began to melt as soon as the cold wind had passed by. Everyone in the field stared at me as I hovered above the field. "Well what are you waiting for? Attack!" I shouted at the fighters who just stood staring in awe at me. The fighting exploded and lasted four more hours resulting in the capture of the two surviving princesses, and Gary, firefall and I taking control of the castle. Our objective was finally completed. End of the OriginsI was making my usual rounds when I was called upon by Gary and Firefall. "Yes brethren?" I asked as I entered the room, no longer needing to bow as I held status equal to theirs. "we need you to go speak with the princesses, well not speak with them per say. Basically we are telling you to go have some fun with them" Gary said a little maliciously, although I was used to it as this is how he normally was nowadays. With an evil smile of my own I walked out of the room and hung a hard left towards the dungeons. I smiled even though the air was dark and foreboding, almost heavy enough to physically press against my skin. I smiled as I waltzed into the dungeon past Celestia was weeping heavily, curled against a corner. In the cage next to hers was Lunas boyfriend, sitting silently against the door. The next slot was a four by four room encased in six feet of bullet proof glass, Luna was chained to one wall, held in place by one foot of chain. I walked in front of the glass encasement and stopped clearing my voice. " Get me Him. Then get Celestia and her mobile Stockade. Set her up right here in front of Lunas prison." I barked as I watched Luna. When we had captured the kingdom The three captives minds had broke after they had been captured, Celestia hasn't stopped crying, The colt, whose name I had yet to learn and probably wouldn't, has gone silent and hasn't talked. Lunas mind breaking was my favorite though, Her mind had reverted to strictly to primitive instincts, leaving her growling and snarling. I took hold of the young colt as Celestia was set in front of the cage. I stepped into the room, dragging the colt leaving him just out of her reach. I smiled as I took out my revolver and shot her restraints, freeing her. Her face twisted into one of horrifying delight, she crept toward the colt sniffing the air deeply. As I shut the door she pounced onto the young colt blood splashing against the windows. Celestia began to shriek and weep as Luna finished murdering her boyfriend and smash her head against the glass. Blood began to trickle out of her head, a crack forming on her head as her horn was smashed into her skull. Eventually she slowed her attack on the glass, her horn snapped in two, blood now running steadily out of her head. Celestia was weeping silently her eyes squeezed shut tightly, a colt came running in with news. "sire Gary has requested your assistance, says it is urgent." He said breathless. I quickly unfurled my wings and shot past him out into the hallway, once in the hallway I took flight and sped into the room where Gary would be waiting. "What has happened brother? I just received the news" I stood in front of Gary, the doors still wide open behind me. "Kain you have been a very useful adversary but I'm afraid you are no longer useful." Gary spoke in a very comforting low tone. I heard the heavy reinforced black iron doors slam shut behind me. "I-I don't understand brothers!" I spun to see Firefall clinging to the wall above the arch. "We are going to kill you, you idiot!" Firefall shouted down at me, a glowing golden blade, dripping with blood emerged through my chest. I coughed blood and small drops of it spattered across the floor in front of me, blood ran down my armor. "we really didn't want to share the thrown with anyone else." Gary whispered behind my back before shoving me down onto my knees. Firefall roared mightily before sending a throat full of flames down upon me. I sat up drenched in a cold sweat, my bed sheets knocked to the floor. I wiped the sweat off my forehead as there was a loud pounding on my door. "Are you ready to go or what?" Rainbow called from the other side of my door. "Yeah just let me pull my jacket on real quick." I replied as I stood up out of bed, it must've all been a dream, I chuckled to myself. The book I saw laying open on my nightstand sent chills down my spine, it was the story of the origins, open to the page about the cave of unmeltable ice. Author's Note The final chapter to my story, It was a good run and I hope you all enjoyed it.
The story of the originsMany years ago, a number that is too great to count, there was a powerful spirit named vengeance. Using a large amount of his power, he began to sew the universe intending to create suitable conditions for life. After creating the universe, and many planets Vengeance was tired from all of his hard works, so he decided to create a stallion capable of finishing the work for him. He used an imense amount of power and created the builder who was granted the spirit of creation and destruction. "Welcome child." Vengeance said in a deep gruff voice. "Wha...what is this place?" The large, seven foot, stallion asked with another deep voice. "It does not matter young one. You must fulfill your purpose then you will know the answers you desire." He replied before he vanished. The builder instantaneously knew what tasks he must complete and set out to complete them. He decided to create the planet that would hold life, as he flew towards a massive planet that looked about the size he would need he began to think of the things that a planet suitable for life would need. The first thoughts that appeared in his head were ones of warmth, because the planet would need to be warm enough so the inhabitants would not freeze to death. Using his massive hands he tunneled into the core of the earth and opened up a large circular cavern to fill with the hottest substance, lava. After filling the core he filled the long tunnel with stone just like what he had to dig through. While he was creating gloomy forests, large mountain ranges, and deep ravines, the lava in the center began to swirl and form itself into a tight ball. The ball compressed, and expanded repeatedly before it all settled it flashed brightly and violently. The planet shook violently as a flaming red snakelike dragon shot through the ground creating a massive volcano. He had an evil look in his eyes because he was the spirit of evil and destruction. "Who are you?" The stallion said as he halted his work. "I am fire fall! The true question is who are you?" Firefall replied staring down the stallion. "I am the spirit of all that is good and the spirit of creation." The stallion replied glaring at the dragon. "I think I'll just call you Gary." The dragon said smugly at his clever creation. The was a flash of light behind the red snakelike dragon which made gary shut his eyes, and put his hands up in front of his face. "I have been expecting your creation." vengeance said in a moderate tone. "Who are you?" The dragon said slightly annoyed at the stallion. "Vengeance. I am the creator of this whole universe and everything that happens in it, Including you so watch your tone." He said his expression unchanging as he looked over the large dragon. "well, what is this place?" firefall asked looking at his superior. "It is only what you two decide to make it." He said teleporting away before they could reply to what he had said. Firefall had an epiphany of what he was created for. "well what are we waiting on?" He said looking back to his brother who was still just hovering in the emptiness. Gary returned to his work creating beautiful masterpieces, whilst firefall followed him around balancing the beautiful good with his evil destruction so that the planets would always be even, good would not over power evil and evil would not overpower good. They made short work of the planets and as they floated there admiring their work the dust on the coldest planet, which was farthest from the sun, begin to swirl in a freezing wind until it compressed to form the third brother Icywind, named by how he was created in an icy wind. "Brothers!" He called already knowing who they were, because even though he was the youngest of the origins he was the smartest. They stood back and let him go forward to do his work of creating life on the planet they had chosen for life. He created a three large groups of mares and stallions, these groups were the Earthen ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns. Then he made a two royal alicorns who were meant to rule over this new land that had been created. "Good work boys." Vengeance called as he crept from the darkness of the universe. "Thank you father." Icywind said as he joined his brothers and their creator. The eldest boys ignored the appraisal of their father and rushed into the young ruler to take control over what they thought was rightfully theirs. For months the eldest ruled with fear, until a brave soul ironically named brave soul confronted them. "Kings why must you take over this kingdom we have created? you take our work claim it as your own and spit on us as if we should be your servants."He said not bothering to knock on the door before entering, or bowing before speaking because he knew what he had just said would probably get him killed. "It is our right to rule this kingdom you worthless little earth pony." Gary and firefall said in unison as Icywind watched from a distance in disgust. "But sires thats..." His sentenced was was cut off by the beheading he was given from the magic blades of the eldest brother. They then carried the head to the window and held it out for the whole town to see. "Let this be a lesson. To all of you! Defiance will not be tolerated in any measures!" They boomed as the mouths of the townspeople hung in shock and awe. Instead of fearing the kings they waited for them to reenter their castle then they prepared for an attack which would happen in the middle of the night. When the clock tower struck twelve the town launched an attack against the castle hoping to kill the kings in their sleep. The battle raged for hours with many casualties, of townsfolk. Icywind joined his brothers, grabbed them by the shoulders and teleported them far away into a cave many miles away. Once in the cave he through them up against into a dead end branch of the cave system. "I am the spirit of new beginnings and it is time for the townsfolk to have a new beginning!" He yelled before freezing his brothers in an icy prison that could be melted only by the hottest fire. After using up so much of his power he teleported into another cave hundreds of miles away and froze himself in the same ice, except he himself could bust through this ice if he needed too. Author's Note Vengeance is a character created by Blackhydra4 I recommend you check him out! This story revolves around kaikrussians which is also a concept made by blackhydra4. ( I will go into more detail on the kaikrussians in the next chapter when they make their first appearance in this story). Yes I have permission to use these characters and ideas in my story.
Kain Shonus and the Cave of Ice"So you're positive that the cave is this way?" I asked rainbow dash as I walked, and she flew, in the direction she was telling me. "Yes! I am absolutely positive that its this way!" She sighed as I walked on. "If it's not I am going to literally kill you for sending me on a wild goose chase." I said as she slowed down. "All right, All right. whatever. I gotta go though, I am supposed to be meeting this stallion for lunch at noon." She said checking her phone before waving goodbye. I waved back and she sped back towards town leaving me out on the deserted road that was heavily worn down. I continued along the road my head in the clouds, metaphorically. I may be the tallest unicorn in Ponyville but I still only stand six and a half feet tall. As I walked along my head swam through information about where I was from, Kaikrussia. I knew only a few things and they were kind of important. First of all I would never get one of those marks that everyone had on their arms, My ancestors ate nothing but meat so I have to Be very careful around small woodland creatures because my urges might kick in, ludesma is my greatest enemy, and that the absolute greatest blacksmiths from all over the world are from Kaikrussia. I know these things because I had been borrowing a lot of books about my countries history. I was born only eighteen and a half years ago, My parents moved me here when I was five, and I didn't start taking interest in my history until last year. As I was off in la-la land I nearly missed the entrance to the cave. "Why hello there." I said to no one in particular as I retrieved my flashlight from my Backpack. I moved the long stringy vines out of my way and stepped in through the cobwebs, carefully avoiding the rocks that were stacked up. They looked as if the slightest gust of wind would send them crashing down the gentle decline of the cave. I moved past them and turned my flashlight on illuminating a five foot radius. The air quickly chilled and I hadn't brought a jacket so I had to just continue through the cold air. As I trudged through the dark, cold, and moist cave, a cold wind blew past my ear and sounded as if it was murmuring something. " Hello ? Is someone down here? " I called out as I reached for the knife strapped to my leg. After holding still for a few minutes I began to move deeper into the cave again. After traveling for twenty more minutes I could see a source of light down a long tunnel, so i began to run because i wanted to see what was creating all of the light. The long, dark tunnel opened into a room that was so large I could not so the edges from the opening of the tunnel. The room was illuminated from a large pit in the middle of the room which must have been filled with lava. I silently crept through the darkness until I was a few feet away, then I dropped to a crawling position so that i wouldn't accidentally trip and fall into the boiling lava. " This is absolutely amazing " I crawled around the lava pit using it as a light source so I wouldn't have to waste the little bit of batteries I had left. As I crawled away from the pit I stood, and turned on my flashlight. The beam rushed out and bounced off something metallic in the wall, casting a bright glow throughout the entire cavern, revealing a large patch of ice. " what the...?" I quickly grabbed my book of caves and ores by rinon hinok, and loudly fumbled through the pages. After a few minutes of searching and finding nothing I noticed something in the chapter entitled cave dangers. " Unbreakable Ice Patches: sealed by royals to hide something or seal off passages to treacherous to cross" I read aloud as if someone was in the room with me. My decision to read aloud was completely involuntary, like someone was forcing me to read aloud so they could hear the passage too. I quickly pointed the flashlight at the crystal so the whole room would be illuminated and checked to see if somepony else was in the room. " The only way to break the hexical spell was with the hottest substance the earth could create or the royal who sealed off the door." Again something had forced me to read it aloud. After a moment of long contemplation I decided this large opening would be the best place to set up a base camp. Throughout the rest of the day I made many trips through the cave bringing alot of supplies down to set up a decent base. I had torches on the walls and about six or seven containers labeled with ores I had seen and hope to find. With my black steel cauldron and my Iron anvil sitting ten feet away from the lava pit I began making the final climb out of the cave for the night, excited to practice the next day.
Kain Shonus and the origins.The next day my alarm clock went off extremely early, before the sun rose above the horizon. After drinking some orange juice with a small shot of vodka I happily dressed and sped out of my house. Some of the undesirable ponies were still out, going home from some rave or gangbang or something along those lines. I strolled past them, having to physically push a few of the out of my way. The long trek was peaceful and chilly even though I had my leather jacket on, once I arrived at the cave I retrieved my flashlight and stepped through the vines. The cave seemed less gloomy today, almost as if there was more life lurking in its depths. The area became warmer once I crossed into the room with the rather large lava pool in the middle of it. I shrugged off my jacket and tossed it by the ice, which had an odd presence today. It felt almost as if the ice was watching me. I disregarded the odd feeling and collected the pickaxe which I had brought in yesterday. Using heavy swings I began to mine through the wall, hungry to find ores to smelt with. The first ore I need was black steel, to make buckets and strong rods to use as handles on the heavier weapons I was planning on smithing. After a grueling hour of mining, ad my hands were beginning to sting I stumbled across a small vein of black steel. With a slightly happier heart I swung my pick a few more times and collected enough black steel to create a bucket. I placed the material into the smeltery and took my book about minerals, and used the index to search lava. " The hottest substance on earth, rumored to be able to melt a patch of unbreakable ice." I read aloud again, not knowing the reason why. I had no further reason to read anymore, I then checked the smeltery to see it had completed its task. I pulled the still warm and soft metal out of the cold smeltery. Using a hammer I pounded the metal flat and bent it into the shape of a bucket. I then placed the bucket back into the smeltery to causes the folds in the metal to bond together. Once it finished smelting and bonding I carefully collected some lave and dug a trench in front of the ice patch. " alright time to find out what's hidden in there." I said nervously to myself before pouring the hot bucket into the trench. The Ice began to steam, filling the room. The ice did not turn into water as I had expected, just into copious amounts of steam. I backed away trying to fan it away from my face. Once I stepped far enough back I could see two spots of red. "Step aside kain." A booming deep voice called through the smoke. In awe I sneak to the side trying to sneak towards the cave entrance. A bright red dragon shot through the hole in the wall and dove into the lava pit. A tall stallion walked through the hole and turned directly towards me, making me freeze in my tracks. " kain do not fear us, I am the spirit of all that is good and creation." He said in a deep, soothing voice. He stood about half a foot taller than I and looked as if he would not hurt any living thing. "I prefer to call him gary, i'm firefall, I am a force put here to balance out the creation and good." The Dragon spoke, resting his upper body on the lip of the pit he was swimming about. "Why were you both frozen in that patch of ice?" I spat out after a moments silence, still nervous about saying anything at all. " our brother became angered with us and froze us deep with in this cave, he wanted to prevent us from ruling the place we had created." They both said in unison. I nodded and we stood there in silence as the air seemed to almost thicken. "Go home and get some rest kain, you have had a long day." Gary said, I don't remember walking home but I do remember climbing into bed and going to sleep. Author's Note I know I've been away for a loooooooooooooooong time but I'm back and clicking into overdrive! Anyway here Is part three! Enjoy!
The forging of a hero.I woke up the next morning, my mind still reeling from the day before, was it all a dream? I got up and mixed a screwdriver. I then quickly got dressed and pulled on my jacket stepping into the cool morning air, the sun was just poking up above the horizon. I shouldered past another group of undesirables on my way to the cave. Once I got to the cave I felt happier, as if all the anger in the world that had seeped into me and built up had vanished into thin air. I strolled, carefree, into the depths of the cave, where my new friends should be waiting for me. I stepped into the cavern and noticed something was off, the space seemed wider. If it wasn't for the torches in the corner I wouldn't have been able to see the other end of the room. Firefall was laying lazily in the hole where the ice had once been. Gary was sitting atop the chests which now overflowed with smelled ingots and unsmelted ores. " hello kain, did you sleep well? We also have a surprise for you." Gary said standing up, firefall still slept in the corner, so still he looked dead. "Slept fine, probably not better than him though. What's the surprise?" I gestured to the big red dragon before I asked my question. "He was up mining all night, he got all of these ores as a thank you for freeing us from our prison. We also heard you wanted to practice smithing and forgery." He said stepping away from the chest which were nearly overflowing. "How did you know I was wanting to start smithing?" I asked almost astonished at the fact that he knew that I wanted to Smith things, although I wonder if he knew what I wanted to smith. "Well we also have something to confess. We have a plan, to take back what is rightfully ours, the crowns." Firefall spoke frome his little Cove along the back wall slowly getting up to his feet. This shocked me at first, it was no doubt in my mind that I had to help, two of the four origins were standing in front of me, asking me for help to take back their thrones. "What do you need me to do? " I asked stepping forward to stand before them. "We need weapons and armor, celestias army is going to put up one he'll of a fight. And make a set for yourself, we want you in battle with us, you being the only one we can trust right now." Gary said placing his hand upon my shoulder. I stepped around them and took up my hammer and took some of the blood iron to start on a chest plate. Many miles away in a desolate cave... The ice around icywind began to melt quickly although as he stood he was weak. About three miles of stone and hard rock stood between him and the surface, grueling as it would be he knew he would have to do it. The only reason he would have awoken would be if the ice around his brethren had been broken or had melted. "This is wrong." He stuttered to himself as he began to smash the rock above his head. In the ever free forest... "Evil is stirring my young ones, and once it breaks out we shall attack!" Queen Chrysalis shouted to her hungry changelings, they growled and shouted back, frothing at the mouths over the thought of fresh blood. "Go! Spread out and be prepared, feast on small animals and lone stray ponies! Prepare yourselves!" She shouted before her hungry army dispersed through the woods into the grasslands outside ponyville. In the caves, hours later... "Gary! Firefall!" I'm shouted, almost collapsing to the ground as I moved the final price of armor, laying them out across the ground, a full suit of armor and a single weapon with each set. Firefall slithered back down into the cave, blood dripping from his lips, obviously from eating small animals, Gary followed, a chunk of rabbit in his right hand. "These are the most beautiful armor sets I've seen, better than out old worn out ancient pairs." Gary said tossing the rabbit meat at me, I had to fight basic instincts to keep from going crazy and tearing into the meat. "Eat it brogher, you will need your strength for what happens next." Firefall stated as he shrugged on his armor, admiring each piece. Both of them pulled weapons out of thin air, Garys was a golden sword about a foot and a half long, firefalls was a scythe, with a four foot handle and a one foot red tinted blade. Both weapons looked transparent and had smoke, colored the same as the weapons themselves slowly drifting off from the blades. "As a reward for your bravery and loyalty to us we are going to make you as powerful as we are." Gary spoke sheathing both weapons and removing his metallic gloves. Firefall did the same. "This will be painful but it will be worth it in the end." Gary spoke before the both grabbed ahold of me. I felt instant power surge through me but it did not Hurt like they had said it would. It felt great, as if my molecules were rearranging themselves as I stood there. Then the pain began, it was excruciating, two large spots of pain through my back. It felt as though my skin was being torn apart, as a massive force was pushing out through my back. I stood with standing the pain for what felt like forever, then the edges of my vision began to blur. I blinked them away for as long as possible, which wasn't much longer, until the darkness overtook my vision fully leaving me blacked out in their grasp. Author's Note I can't remember if this was previously mentioned but he Is a unicorn.
The preparation of an army.I woke, the pain in my back now mostly gone, only a dull burning sensation remained. I slowly stood, lightheaded and dizzy, the world was spinning around me very fast. "You lasted alot longer than anybody else, congratulations." Gary spoke to me lightly putting his hand on my shoulder. My dizziness began to subside as I drank from my canteen of water. "You've done this before?" I managed to sputter out, my voice raspy and horse. "Kind of, the last person passed out after a minute of the pain and didn't wake up again" Firefall spoke calmly as if what he had just said wasn't out of the ordinary. "How long did I last?" I asked after drinking down more of the water. "About twenty minutes, you passed out just before we finished the transformation" Gary spoke again almost sounding partially in awe, although I didn't think he truly was in awe. I was proud of myself for lasting as long I had, although I still didn't know what had happened completely. "I modified your armor while you were out so that it would actually fit the new you" fire fall said holding out my dark red iron armor. There were now two holes in the back , cleanly cut and smoothed out so the metal wouldn't be sharp. "Wouldn't the holes make the armor more vulnerable? " I asked stupidly, still oblivious to the situation at hand. "You mean you still haven't noticed ?" Firefall asked lowering the chest plate, a sad look in his eyes, his mouth slightly turned down. "You do have an impressive wingspan, about nine feet long."Gary said, this seemed to slap me across the face, what did he mean wings? I don't know how I hadn't noticed them before. I felt stupid that I hadn't noticed, it felt like two portions of my back had been elongated. They felt natural though as if they had always been there, in fact I can't remember them not being there. Without even having to think about doing it the muscles in my back began to move, my wings began to flap and I began to lift off the ground. "This is so cool!" I shouted as I hovered, a big smile on my face. "In order to take back our thrones we are going to have to fight for them, the princesses will not give them back willingly. " Gary spoke solemnly, almost as if he was sad that they had to fight off the princesses army. "So you need me to go and gather an army? What will a bunch of citizens be able to do?" I ask, noticing the remains of my shirt strewn across the floor. I guess the only thing left was my jacket. "Well obviously we would carry the war effort, they would be there to support us, and possibly help keep the guards at bay." Firefall said stepping closer to me. " I'll do it, give me twenty four hours." I say before collecting my jacket and stalking up out of the cave, shrugging it on as I walked out into the cool night air. The wind blew a unknown smell across my face, almost beastly and primal. As I walked along the desolate barren dirt road, the bushes along the edge began to shimmer and shake violently. A small black creature riddled with holes, and greenish tinged wings. The small monster flew straight towards my face, with a violent force I smacked it to the ground. I slammed my foot down on top of its head a blood splattered out, more of those creatures dispersed out into the night sky, fleeing. "You that's right you had better run!" I shouted at them as they flew into the darkness, only their black silhouette visible along the moon, i chuckled to myself leaving the bloodied corpse behind me. "Kain you're out late" rainbowdash called from somewhere up above. "Rainbow meet me at my house! I have something to show you." I tried to say not creepily, although I realize that in the middle of the night this does sound incredibly creepy. Luckily she didn't call me out on it, she just followed me to my house. I opened the door and let her through, entering behind her then closing the door and locking it. At the sound of the click rainbow spun around and looked me in the eyes. "What are you doing?" She asked taking a step back, not fully retreat in but putting some distance between us. "You have to listen to me, although it will sound very strange" I said tugging on the opening of my jacket, but staying where I stood. " I really like you too" she exclaimed before jumping onto me, wrapping her legs around me, and planting a kiss onto my lips. I tried to push her off, but she held tightly to me, trying to undo my jacket. With a sudden surge of strength I pushed her off. "RAINBOW! Stop!" I shouted extremely loud, as if all the power was being used in my voice. She stood where she had landed, a look of confusion sat on her face, a tinge of sadness in her eyes. "That's not why I called you here!" I shouted before slowly beginning to take off my jacket, my wings still tightly curled behind my back. Her look of confusion in her eyes intensified, she stood there looking at me before opening her mouth as if to speak, I held up my hand to keep her quiet. I slowly allowed my wings to unfurl, barely fitting in the small space. Her face went from one of confusion to one of awe, her mouth hanging wide open. She slowly moved towards me and reached out to touch them. She smiled widely at the thought of having a new flying partner. I quickly explained about finding the origins and how they did this to me, how they need an army. To my surprise rainbow broke her loyalty to the princesses and happily agreed to fight to the death for them, she even agreed to lead any pegasi that joined into the fight. I said a quick thank you and we both left my house, rainbow went to recruit some of her friends. With my jacket in hand I jumped into the sky and I flew towards sweet apple acres, faster than rainbow could, Although I doubt she would ever admit to it. I gently landed on the roof, right next to applejacks window. I tapped on the window just loud enough so that she would wake up, the light switched on and opened the window. "Hey darling what are you doing here so late?" Applejack asked leaning out the window. "I have something to tell you and it's important" I say, her face instantly contorting to one of worry, then her face changed to one of anger. "What the hell is this?" She wiped something off my lips, I Instantly recognized the rainbow colored lipstick, which meant Applejack recognized it too. She gave me a hard slap across the face and pushed me off the roof, she slammed the window shut but the light remained on. I watched as the light in their gun room came on, which made me very worried. She kicked the front door open, granny smith closely on her tail, Applejack had a shotgun pointed at my head. "Please don't" granny pleaded with her clutching to her right arm, the trigger arm. "Babe I can explain!" I say throwing up my hands, covering my face, my wings wrapped around me, also shielding me from her. I heard two sharp gasps, on from my marefriend and one from her grandmother, I didn't know her grandmother very well, but she did know I didn't have wings . "W-when did you get those?" Applejack stammered, I heard the sound of her shotgun clattering to the ground, I then felt the gentle feeling of Applejack touching my wings to see if they were real. I relayed the story of Gary and firefall, as they listened, wide eyed. They both said they would get there guns and spread the word, it felt like I didn't have to do any bit of work, the story seemed to be spreading itself. I kissed Applejack and then launched off into the air, wind whistling across my wings, blowing my hair out of place, I sped right into town center, the sun was just beginning to rise, shopkeeps were opening up their booth. I shouted to all of them to be ready, that a war as taking place and they could participate or hide, I told them why this battle would take place and told them to get the word out quickly. Then I spun around and flew as fast a I possibly could back to the caves to report to Gary and firefall.
The day a good pony goes to war."So the whole town has our backs? That's just great!" Firefall shouted with laughter, probably at how easily everyone just agreed to some stranger with a loud voice shouting about supposedly finding the origins. "You have proven your loyalty to us, so we will show you how to get your soul bound weapon. The ones like ours* his transparent sword appeared, clutched in his right hand. I nodded very excitedly, I loved how those weapons looked, although I didn't know if It would deal very much damage. "Just imagine raw power, hold your hand out as if holding a weapon, the color and type of weapon will come naturally, just focus on power. Raw power!" Gary spoke as I closed my eyes, I don't know why it just felt right, and followed his instructions. I felt power draining from my core, flowing down my arm and into my palm, as the energy began to stop I opened my eyes. A black smoky transparent double sided battle Axe, it had the weight of a light sword, and was very comfortable to hold. "So I can call upon this weapon whenever I please?" I asked swinging the weapon around lamely, just toying with the weapon. As I played with it it disintegrated into a black powder and was absorbed by the floor. "Yes, and apparently that is a good thing!" Firefall joked with me as he began to shrug on his armor. Gary and I both began to do the same, it was the day a good pony went to war. Firefall and Gary stood at the top of the hill, overlooking a large field between the kingdom and us. Gary had a large very powerful megaphone in his hand although I doubt he would need it, given how powerful his voice was. The army, including myself hid behind the hill, firefall nodded to me before Gary spoke. "Princess cadence it is I! I still love you after all those years!" Gary boomed, I was right he really didn't need that megaphone, we waited behind the hill as the plan was set into action. Cadence and a few guards sped through the sky and landed in front of gary. There was a big smile on her face as she leaned in to kiss him, he leaned in too, but then she screamed, red liquid flowed out of the hole in her chest. Garys golden sword turned to a fine dust as the guards put their knives to Gary and firefalls throat. "Charge!" I screamed launching into the air above the feild, the guards were caught off guard, which was ironic. Nearly every citizen in ponyville was charging at them, swords and guns, the two guards were swallowed by the mass of ponies, most likely stabbed more than once. I dove into the crowd my soul bound weapon materializing in my right hand, my short sword in my left. I allowed myself to fall into the midst of the fight, bringing my soul bound battle Axe down through the head of a heavily armored pony. I allowed the Axe to disintegrate as I plunged my sword into another's exposed eye. One guard grabbed my left arm and tossed it over his shoulder, a grin on his face from disarming me. My other weapon materialized and I swung it lowly, cutting through his soft knees and sending him straight to the ground. A loud screech caused everyone who was in the midst of a fight to pause and and look towards where the sound came from. The fourth origin, icywind , Burst through the ground, sending dirt and stone spraying in all directions, clanking loudly against helmets. "Brothers! I do not know how you escaped your prison, but you won't be able to escape this time! For i will kill you!" Icywinds voice boomed across the field, this statement made Gary and firefall burst into guttural laughter. Icywind launched across the field, directly towards Gary and firefall, I launched off the ground and smashed into him causing him to fall towards the ground crushing a few soldiers. I fell from the sky my battle Axe materializing in my hands, with the force of my fall I slammed the Axe through his chest. Time seemed to slow around us as he threw me forty feet into the air. He launched up at me, blood spilling out of the wound on his side, with all the strength I could muster I hurled the Axe at him. It spun multiple times in the air before embedding itself between his eyes, beginning to disintegrate as soon as it struck. A burst of cold wind and snow exploded across the field lightly dusting everything with snow. The slight snow began to melt as soon as the cold wind had passed by. Everyone in the field stared at me as I hovered above the field. "Well what are you waiting for? Attack!" I shouted at the fighters who just stood staring in awe at me. The fighting exploded and lasted four more hours resulting in the capture of the two surviving princesses, and Gary, firefall and I taking control of the castle. Our objective was finally completed.
End of the OriginsI was making my usual rounds when I was called upon by Gary and Firefall. "Yes brethren?" I asked as I entered the room, no longer needing to bow as I held status equal to theirs. "we need you to go speak with the princesses, well not speak with them per say. Basically we are telling you to go have some fun with them" Gary said a little maliciously, although I was used to it as this is how he normally was nowadays. With an evil smile of my own I walked out of the room and hung a hard left towards the dungeons. I smiled even though the air was dark and foreboding, almost heavy enough to physically press against my skin. I smiled as I waltzed into the dungeon past Celestia was weeping heavily, curled against a corner. In the cage next to hers was Lunas boyfriend, sitting silently against the door. The next slot was a four by four room encased in six feet of bullet proof glass, Luna was chained to one wall, held in place by one foot of chain. I walked in front of the glass encasement and stopped clearing my voice. " Get me Him. Then get Celestia and her mobile Stockade. Set her up right here in front of Lunas prison." I barked as I watched Luna. When we had captured the kingdom The three captives minds had broke after they had been captured, Celestia hasn't stopped crying, The colt, whose name I had yet to learn and probably wouldn't, has gone silent and hasn't talked. Lunas mind breaking was my favorite though, Her mind had reverted to strictly to primitive instincts, leaving her growling and snarling. I took hold of the young colt as Celestia was set in front of the cage. I stepped into the room, dragging the colt leaving him just out of her reach. I smiled as I took out my revolver and shot her restraints, freeing her. Her face twisted into one of horrifying delight, she crept toward the colt sniffing the air deeply. As I shut the door she pounced onto the young colt blood splashing against the windows. Celestia began to shriek and weep as Luna finished murdering her boyfriend and smash her head against the glass. Blood began to trickle out of her head, a crack forming on her head as her horn was smashed into her skull. Eventually she slowed her attack on the glass, her horn snapped in two, blood now running steadily out of her head. Celestia was weeping silently her eyes squeezed shut tightly, a colt came running in with news. "sire Gary has requested your assistance, says it is urgent." He said breathless. I quickly unfurled my wings and shot past him out into the hallway, once in the hallway I took flight and sped into the room where Gary would be waiting. "What has happened brother? I just received the news" I stood in front of Gary, the doors still wide open behind me. "Kain you have been a very useful adversary but I'm afraid you are no longer useful." Gary spoke in a very comforting low tone. I heard the heavy reinforced black iron doors slam shut behind me. "I-I don't understand brothers!" I spun to see Firefall clinging to the wall above the arch. "We are going to kill you, you idiot!" Firefall shouted down at me, a glowing golden blade, dripping with blood emerged through my chest. I coughed blood and small drops of it spattered across the floor in front of me, blood ran down my armor. "we really didn't want to share the thrown with anyone else." Gary whispered behind my back before shoving me down onto my knees. Firefall roared mightily before sending a throat full of flames down upon me. I sat up drenched in a cold sweat, my bed sheets knocked to the floor. I wiped the sweat off my forehead as there was a loud pounding on my door. "Are you ready to go or what?" Rainbow called from the other side of my door. "Yeah just let me pull my jacket on real quick." I replied as I stood up out of bed, it must've all been a dream, I chuckled to myself. The book I saw laying open on my nightstand sent chills down my spine, it was the story of the origins, open to the page about the cave of unmeltable ice. Author's Note The final chapter to my story, It was a good run and I hope you all enjoyed it.
