Elements of Nature - 2

[Linguz 140]

A club materialized behind Larva and struck him on the head.

The other four also hit him.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Larva smiled at the maces hit him. He laid on the ground and choughed up blood on the ground. He began to chant.

"Rise meo daemonia"

[Linguz 140]

Raven stuck one of the maces into his mouth and whacked him with the other four again.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Larva hit the ground and landed on his side and spoke through the mace in his mouth.

"Too late..."

 

Out of the blood of the ground rose a small demon fox.

 

 

[Linguz 140]

Raven turned two of the maces on the fox and hit it at the same time on both sides.

[Finesthour 7,287]

The fox sank into the ground as a shadow and let the maces hit where it was. The fox's shadow overtook the mace and turned it black and red, with it's eyes sticking out of the handle. Larva got up and spat the mace out that was in his mouth and picked up the mace the fox took.

[Linguz 140]

Raven disintegrated the mace the fox took and launched the other four to attack Larva.

"What I create, I can destroy."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Larva smiled at her.

"Now that is not fair, is it."

Larva stood where he was and allowed the maces to hit him, causing him to cough up more blood.

"Rise meo daemonia"

The same demon rose out of the ground again.

"Let's try this again."

[Linguz 140]

Raven laughed and three daggers materialized, all the maces disappeared.

"Sure thing."

Two of the daggers rushed the fox, and the last flew at Larva.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Larva laughed and stood still.

"Have you not learned that I want to bleed?"

He let the dagger hit him and the fox dodged the blades.

"Not falling for that one again bitch."

[Authetius 30]

Name: Sforzando

Species: Unicorn Pony

Gender: Male

Personality: A serious drunk, This bard travels the ruins in search of some hard alcohol to drink away the pains and sorrows of surviving another day in the depressing remains of Equestria. Loves to play his lute and sing tunes of mighty souls long past. Survival in the new Equestria has been harsh on this pony, and is more often drunk than sober.

Specialty: Plays loud and fast, foot stomping party music. Besides his ability to play his lute and sing loudly, His magic abilities allow him to amplify sound waves to the point of pain, or mere distraction. The sound can be so violent, it may throw lighter ponys off their hooves. He can also hold a astounding amount of alcohol. Somehow, intoxication will improve this pony's ability to play music.

Description: Light brown coat, and a messy dark brown mane and tail. Kind, soft blue eyes. Cutie mark is a piece of parchment with some scribbles and a lute. The rest, I'll leave to detail later, or to your imaginations as more likely.

Other: Brother of Silent Melody

Room: 8

 

Name: Silent Melody

Species: Unicorn Pony

Gender: Female

Personality: Silent Melody is the sane part of the family. Not half the drunkard of Sforzando, She will usually speak for both of them, as Sforzando is often to hammered to string his thoughts together in a constructive manner. The difficulty of survival has not weathered her as much as her brother, as she is very (mentally) strong. While she is a whole lot more serious than her brother when the situation requires it, she too loves to have a bit of alcohol and a little party as well.

Specialty: Plays softer, more beautiful music on her flute, as opposed to her brother's more upbeat foot hoof stomping music, though she will, on occasion, play at a more festive tempo with her brother. Her magic allows her to silence sound waves, an ability that is used often to silence her brother from making any stupid comments or moves. She is also rather adept at learning minor spells I.E. a spell that filters the air after cleaning up whatever may have been in the stomach of Sforzando when he pukes to clear the nasty smell.

Description: She has a deep shade of navy blue for her coat, and a lighter shade of blue for her clean, long mane and tail. Her cutie mark is a C Clef (For all you other musicians out there, C Clef is rarely used anymore, and is A.K.A. Alto/Tenor Clef) with a few notes flowing off of it on a staff.

Other: Sister of Sforzando

Room: 5

_____________________________

 

Silent Melody carried her brother across through the charred remains of the town towards the town center, where somepony who identified herself as Legacy had told them they would find some companions. She reasoned that survival would be much easier in a larger group. Especially if what had been whispered through her mind was true - that the group of possible friends were none other than The Valkyrs.

Sforzando stopped singing about Gretholomew The Brave abruptly in mid sentence "Hey, Melody, I bet you one bottle of apple whiskey I ca *belch*, I bet I can knock that window out of the building over there!"

"I swear, if you even try I will silence you for the next week!"

Sforzando's horn glowed for a few moments as he took in air and started to shout. Melody's horned glowed a moment to late as Sforzondo's amplified voice flew through the air and knocked the remaining bits of glass out of the window frame of a nearby building. Melody cringed as the sound waves assaulted her ears.

Sforzando's mouth parted and sloppily formed words that never came out of his mouth - If it weren't for Melody's silencing spell, it would probably would have been along the lines of a victory shout. Sforzando struggled limply on Melody's back as they approached the remains of what once would have been the town square.

"One of these days, your stupid games will attract something that will kill us. For that one, your going to have to go a few days without alcohol."

Sforzando started to struggle more violently at the prospect of going more than 24 hours without another calming liquor. Melody dumped her brother hard against the ground, being careful to land him on the side not holding his precious lute, then proceeded up to the door of what had been the Town Hall and pounded on it three times and took a few steps back to wait, just like Legacy had instructed. All of a sudden the ground under Sforzando parted, revealing a stairway down into what must be the hidden base Legacy spoke of. She quickly snatched Sforzando's lute from his side as he started to roll down the now open stairway, then watched in amusement.

"That's what you get when your too smashed to stop yourself from rolling!"

Melody followed her rolling brother down the stairs into the hidden home of The Valkyrs. With any luck, she wouldn't have to bother with the drunkard for a few hours.

"Hello, Is anypony there?"

[Linguz 140]

Legacy came out and looked at the two new ponies.

"Hello you two. Finally arrived I see. How was the trip?"

 

Raven changed the three daggers into spiked balls and launched the two that missed at Larva.

"Bleed all you want. You'll die if you do too much."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Larva laughed and ducked under the spike balls that she had thrown at him.

"I know my limitations."

The fox shrunk into the ground and began to move toward raven.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

*Feisty one isn't she? Those two will probably kill themselves by the end of it.*

Agent snorted, and moved along the sides to get closer to the door.

[Linguz 140]

Raven pulled the ball out of Larva and made the other two levitate around him.

"At least you're not dumb."

The iron balls flew at Larva, and a sword materialized itself out of thin air and slashed the fox (or the shadow of it.)

[Authetius 30]

Melody stepped over the lump that was her brother releasing her magic.

"Oh, the usual that is for this awful world. I'm sure you know. Depressing and somewhat dangerous. I'd say the only thing I had to worry about was this one attracting to much attention." She nudged the now moaning Sforzando. "He may need a place to rest. and probably one not to nice, as he may start puking when the alcohol wears off. He drained the last of the Apple Whiskey we had scavenged from the tavern in the town."

[Finesthour 7,287]

The fox's shadow broke apart into two to avoid the sword, and came together again ahead of it. It started to get under Raven.

Larva whispered something inaudible, and dissapeared into smoke.

[Linguz 140]

The balls clanged together. Raven jumped back and kept going back, away from the fox. She sent the balls flying to the fox.

 

Legacy started to walk away.

"Follow me. I'll set you two up in a room."

[Finesthour 7,287]

The fox broke out of the ground and spun around the balls. The fox landed on the ground and sprinted towards Raven.

 

Larva began to chant in random places around Raven.

"Can."

 

"You."

 

"Not.''

 

"Fight."

 

"Me."

 

"Now?"

[Linguz 140]

Raven closed her eyes and plates materialized around her, fully protecting her from anything. Her voice was transmitted outside of the shields.

"Can you hit me now?"

Edited November 22, 2011 by Linguz

[Authetius 30]

"Thanks. Am I to assume that you're Legacy? The tone of your voice is much the same as the one that spoke to me telepathically." A faint Navy Blue light envelops Sforzando as he is magically lifted to follow Melody through the halls.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

*This'll get complicated real fast, real soon...*

Agent gulped, then rushed to the training ground doors and went to the living room.

[Linguz 140]

Legacy nodded.

"I am."

She lead them to their rooms.

"You two will have room 5 and room 8."

She pointed to the two rooms.

"Choose who gets which unless you'd prefer to be together."

[Authetius 30]

"Maybe when he cleans up and stops drinking so much."

Sforzando floats into room 8 and falls on the bed. The door shuts behind him.

"You're quite relaxed about letting people just walk into your hidden base and join up. I wonder why you trust me, or even why I should trust you, no pony is so generous without reason these days. I expected a trial or something to gain your trust before just waltzing down the steps."

[Evilshy 5,090]

A cacophonous yell startled Nightshade as she was examining a damaged house. She immediately hid against wall as she tried to find where the sound was coming from. Using the ample cover provided by the piles of rubble and ruined buildings, she made her way towards where the sounds came from.

 

She came upon 2 unicorn ponies, a male and female, making their way through the wreckage. They're way too out of place. There is definitely some significance to why they are here specifically. Valkyrs, perhaps? Nightshade silently followed them when she tasted it. A slight metallic taste on her tongue. She stopped moving, then cautiously took a few steps forward. It got stronger. Yup, my rune is definitely reacting to magic. she opened her mouth and moved her tongue about. To anypony watching, it would look like she was licking the air, but it was much more than that. By seeing how her rune activated to counter the magic, she could tell what type of magic it was. Tastes like rune magic. Powerful rune magic, at that. She flew up into an abandoned tower and watched as the 2 unicorns entered a door, which then sank beneath the surface.

It seemed she had found the Valkyrs hideout.
