At that point, Xena took over and wasn't exactly pleased with what had been said. When he spoke, he had to stop himself from basically roaring at Golden. "Don't you dare accuse my kind of being like the demons or mindless beasts. We simply represent the elemnts that make this world what it is. By your logic, then Icarus would've been evil, but no. He represented the good in the hearts of all living things. Cella brought the rain that farmers needed. Baz made the island suitable for life through he connection with nature and in other regards was basically what Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is today and I control the passage of time. Yes, Vaketh could've been considered evil, but he also protected our home from any attack and improved the morale of our warriors. WE were content with the island we lived on and helped the ponies who settled there, but you kill every last one of us, outside of Baz and myself."

 

Nephyer then took over and was just about as angered as Xena. "By the way, just because someone represents death, doesn't mean they are evil. I was the judge who decided wheather or not a soul would go to heaven or my gut, but I already gave that song and dance to Tempest." A few souls then drifted by and he gave a slight smirk. "Excuse me for a sec. Business calls can be so tedious, especially during war time." Nephyer then drew the souls in and devoured them all. "Hmmm, those were probably demons. Not really different, but they definitely have more of a kick to them. Spicy with a hint of brimstone, but what do I know about the dead." The aura beast then laughed a bit as he went back into his host's mind.

 

Tempest regained control and turned his cold gaze to Golden. "Yes, I have changed, but for the better. I was weak, ignorant, and maybe a tad arrogant before I ever found Xena and through him, I have gained a better understanding of this world, both on the physical and spiritual planes.Of course, I did have a few good qualities, but those were kept when all was said and done. I do not control them and they do not control me. I let them speak when they want and do not inhibit any of their abilities. As for Nephyer, only time will tell what will happen, but I trust that Xena will keep him in line." The bat pony then thought for a moment as his aura surrounded him. He heard all he wanted and his patience was growing thin. "And what do you intend to do when this war ends? Are you going to take Xena, Baz, and Nephyer like you did the others. You do that, and you lose some of the best 'heros' currently alive and I doubt any of us will go down without a fight."

Golden's gaze turned more cold and hostile towards Tempest, people guessing at her motivations and personal standing on events angered her slightly. "I had no intention of turning to hostilities against these creatures, I trust your Judgment on them and am willing to live knowing that they exist. One the threat of the Demons has passed, we will leave then be. Unless they step out of line in which we will be forced to action against them, and by extent, you. You cab question our methods, but never question our motives. We are trying to protect the world through what methods we see as the best. We are trying to do what is best for the world. So you can either put up with our different view points and work together to achieve a mutual objective. Or you can go home, and have the Blood spilled after this point be because of tour refusal to lend aid." Golden started to walk south. She hoped Tempest would see reason and work with them for a mutual goal, despite her not wanting to say it out loud. But the divines need his help.

Tempest sighed as he facehooved. He didn't meant to be so blunt, but sometimes it was needed to get answers. Despite everything, they did have a common enemy and that needed to be taken care of first. "I'm sorry. There was just a lot that I needed to get off my chest. Thank you." He said, before following Golden. His aura receded back into his body. He would play his role until this war was over and then see where he would go from there.

Clayton sighed as he picked up Dawn's body. He hoped to get back to the base and say that Dawn was just sleeping off some exhaustion, but as soon as she recovered, he would most likely be a dead pony. "I hope you understand that I did what I had to do. I don't know if you can talk in this state or not, but I hope you see that being with Tempest isn't exactly the best idea.

Golden: "I understand. You've never been in a full war before have you? Believe me when I say it, you will find yourself under stress and pressure you have never experienced before. Having the fate of millions placed on your hooves can and have broken even the strongest of ponies, and divines. That's another advantage the Devils have on us in war, they don't feel much wartime stress and pressure from it. Because it's as natural as breathing for them. It's terrifying. I hope you can handle it. Other wise, we could be in trouble. We are nearing the outpost I was told about. Not too much further."

Tempest nodded, understanding what Golden meant. "Yeah. I can see how that might happen." He muttered under his breath. The bat pony then looked in the direction of the outpost and noticed Clauton with a seemingly unconscious Dawn on his back. Needless to say, this caused Tempest to break out into a sprint until he caught up with the unicirn and stopped in front of him. "What happened?" He growled, barely able to contain his anger. "You were supposed to protect her."

Clayton felt a bit nervous as he looked at Tempest. "Umm, yeah. A demon attacked us on the way here and knocked Dawn unconscious. I managed to kill it with my scythe. It had was bipedal with pale skin and piercing red eyes. Sorry that I didn't save it for you." The unicorn then glanced at Golden with a pleasing look, as if begging her to say that it was true.

Tempest didn't notice the look Clayton gave Golden, but he wasn't the most gullible pony alive. He looked over Dawn's body and didn't notice and external injuries, so he figured that her current state was due to magic. "Fine, just make sure that she's safe." He said, before turning to walk to the outpost. His body was exhausted and he was in no mood to fight.

 

Xena sighed and thought for a bit. "Your 'friend' could be lying, Tempest. If a demon was here, I would've sensed it."

 

"True, but it could've also hid it's power, brother. As for how the unicorn defeated such a beast, he is probably experienced." Nephyer then thought back to when he devoured the souls from earlier. "It could've been one of those."

Before Clayton could say anything, a guard had noticed Tempest approaching and gave a look of malice and hate. "What are you doing here? You're no better than those demons." A large group of guards were already forming and they held the same attitude towards the bat pony as the first. "You don't belong here."

 

Clayton sighed and looked at his friend. "I think it's best if you leave, Tempest. I'm sorry for this."

Caras: "We don't want to kill much of our own population. These pests had to be put down. We don't fight unless attacked. Niruna simply wanted to test out her spell."

 

Niruna: "It's not fire-acid. It was pure fire. I was hoping you'd be more impressed by the strength of the flames. Burning 6 high class demons to ash in seconds. Only a Lucifer can do that."

 

Caras: "Remember Niruna. He is not familiar with our customs yet, and may look at the wrong things first. Don't be disappointed because he noticed the wrong things. Anyway we should encounter no more problems along this was. So just relax, unwind and enjoy some Devilish festivities."

Golden waited until Tempest was out of er shot before turning a cold gaze to Clayton. "Yeah, a pale skin this far out of the underworld. Likely story, you do realise she is going to talk once your spell wears off, understand? It's your consequences to deal with."

Clayton sighed. "Yeah. I tried to do what I thought was right. A few ponies don't like Tempest and if word spreads that he and Dawn are a thing or that belief that Tempest isn't going with the whole anti demon war, things won't be so good for her." He said. "I know this won't be good for him, but Tempest can't know of this. To be honest, even he scares me at times and I'm one of his closest friends."

Golden: "Listen, I don't really know you, and I don't know what you know of Tempest. But no matter what you say, he means Well. I understand where you're view point is coming from and even we divines are keeping a close eye on him. But you ha en to understand that you need to trust him to do the right thing. If he does do anything considered out of line, you can put the blame on me. I take responsibility for any actions he does against Pony kind or Divines."

Chrysteel nods and says, "That is good to know. Maybe one day, I can show you my power. Aura magic isn't just a show of color after all."

 

Chrysteel relaxes and walks with the Rest of the group. She knows now her power isn't as strong as it needs to be. She needs to get the Flutterling's Honor and Blessing. She also needs the three loves.

Tempest tried to hold his temper and nodded. "Fine. Not like I didn't have business to tend to anyway." With that, the bat pony flew into the air headed towards the ocean. He didn't care what they thought of him, but it hurt that after everything he had done, they still didn't trust him. "First the divines and now this. It's to much." He thought as a storm began to brew in his mind. His aura surrounded him as he flew and he watched land rush by. He eventually landed on a cliff near the coast and decided that it would be best of he hid both his appearance and the power the emanated off of him. A hooded cloak appeared around him, hiding his entire body and wings, and that was all he was using his power for. Anything else was locked away inside of him, undetectable.

Clayton nodded and watched as Tempest flew away. "It won't just be your fault for what'll happen with him. We're all to blame on some level, except for Dawn. Speaking of which, I should get her to s bed." With that, the unicorn trotted into the outpost and into a room, setting the alicorn on the bed.

'Great. Fantastic. Can this day turn into any more shit than it already has? First I lost Sword, then the Crystal Empire, now the Equestrian Military is turning against those trying to help for some reason. How can they possibly know of aura beasts? Or are they focusing on some other reason I'm un-aware of? What do I do?' Finishing with her internal monologue, she figured it would be for the best if she was to keep a close eye on Dawn for Tempest. She followed Clayton into the outpost and stayed close to him. "Clayton, in the absence of Tempest, Dawn is under official protection on order of the Divines, I shall be with her during our stay at this outpost. No arguments."

Clayton nodded slightly and understood where Golden was coming from. "Ok. I just hope Tempest will be fine." He said, looking into the distance. "As for the others' actions, I don't know. Either they heard of what happened in the crystal empire or it's his appearance." The unicorn then trotted away and thought over a few plans.

Tempest sighed as he walked through a small town. It was close to where he landed and he figured that it would be the best place to stay until he could sort things out or until somepony found out who he was, whichever came first. "I doubt word spreads that fast, but  it's better to be safe than sorry." The bat pony then looked at the sky and laughed lightly. "I wonder if they can still see me. This could prove interesting." Tempest then turned a corner and walked towards the market.

 

Dawn groaned as her eyes opened. Her body was still numb, but she figured that that would wear off shortly. "Where am I?" She thought to herself.

Caras: "One day soon. A thought just occurred to me. Neither of you are familiar with the tournaments yet. So let me explain how they work. A battlefield is created in a dimensional rip which is used to house tournaments. In this world, it is very hard for a devil to die as they are removed and hospitalised when they cannot fight any more. Two leaders enter with up to 15 more devils that serve under them, first team to eliminate the opposing Leader wins." (If you watch Highschool DxD, it's a very similar concept to rating games. That's where I got the idea) "bit of course my friend Lord Zecz needs no such team. Narcissistic basted. Right this way." Caras led his party round a few more turns and into a very open part of the city, bustling with activity. Stalls selling items from food to clothing with pictures of the combatants houses on them, books, pictures, figurines and a fight club. 'No magic, no weapons, no servants, no killing'. "Now this is a festival. Enjoy yourselves, everything can be acquired for free as you are my followers. Niruna, remember, you are a Lucifer. If someone denys you something, remember your name. But don't be greedy."

 

Niruna: "Yes Caras-Oniisama. I shall be powerful but elegant. Come on Onii-Chan, Onee-Chan. Let's explore. The fights start in 20 minutes. So let's make the most of time"

Dawn groaned as her eyes opened. Her body was still numb, but she figured that that would wear off shortly. "Where am I?" She thought to herself.

 

(@ :I think you missed Midnight.)

Golden: "You're finally awake. I was wondering how strong that Paralysis spell was. Quite strong to keep you out of it for so long. Well I've been keeping an eye on you while you've been out of it, doesn't look like the Spell did anything major to you, the numbness you are feeling should go away in a few minutes. As for our location, we are in an Equestrian Military outpost just south of our Camp. Your wounds from the Battle in the crystal empire are still in bad shape, bit not life threatening anymore, courtesy of my medical help. You should be able to get back on your hooves soon."

Dawn relaxed and sighed at Golden's words. "I think it's pretty obvious, but I might as well go ahead and say it. Clayton was the one that did this. He said it was best if I didn't interact with Tempest and I basically took that as to break all ties with him." She muttered. The alicorn found that she could move her head as feeling to her body slowly returned. "Where is Tempest, anyway?"

 

Tempest didn't notice that as he was heading to the market, he was close to a restaurant and felt a few hunger pangs. He soon found himself at a table ordering a hay and oat sandwich on rye  with a fruit salad on the side. The price was fair and after paying for the meal, Tempest walked towards the outskirts of town, figuring that he shouldn't get to attached to one place.. "I should head back, but what good will that do." He thought to himself. "Maybe I can head back to Canterlot and wait for them their." The idea seemed to make sense and he knew that ponies there trusted him, or at least seemed to. The bat pony then flew into the air and headed for said city. Despite this, he still kept his power at a minimum of what was needed to keep the cloak on.

"okay niruna i'm coming but may i ask you something.......would by any chance you would know a spell that hypnosis the victim into a animal..... it was kind of the second spell i learned" simple smiled "i'm also sorry for making that spell mistake earlier kind of embarrassing......." simple looked down at her and said "personally i never really did much study i learned random spells here or their..... but i never like my cutie mark.... so i kind of kept it in the dark...." simple frowned and look off into the distance....

"Yeah, I know this was Clayton. The spell was a bit of an extreme, but I can understand why he did what he did. That doesn't excuse him from doing it though. Now, I wish I could tell you where Tempest has gone. To my understanding, Some of the guards refused him access to the base. After that, he vanished. I can't tell you where he went or is now unfortunately. A lot has happened today, so I'm sure he just went to calm down. My best guess is he's still in the local area, went to Canterlot or maybe Ponyville. One of the three."

Niruna looked to Simples Cutie mark and noticed it was a symbol for Dark Magic. Which confused her a little. "Huh? Why are you ashamed of Dark Magic? That's a fantastic gift. That's the ultimate form of Devil magic. Rare and quite powerful. I don't see any reason why someone will be ashamed of it. And no, I don't know any Hypnotic magic. I mainly blow things up with my magic. Destruction is more fun than Illusion and alteration. Caras is a master of Hypnosis and Illusions. I think he's the best in the whole world." She stopped her train of thought when she looked at Simples face, and felt a little sad. "Hey? Onii-Chan? Are you okay? Do you need a hug? Hey! What's wrong?"

Dawn thought for a second and tried to clear her mind. "Leave Clayton to Tempest, or at least me." She said, slowly sitting up. A few thoughts crossed her mind and she glanced at Golden. "I could send out a projection of my self and look for him that way, but that would take while. As for my relationship with him, what do you think I should do? I mean, I don't know how the others would react if they found out, but I don't want to leave him, especially given the current situation." The alicorn didn't know how experience the divine were when it came to relationships, but she figured that Golden was her best option as a confidant at the moment.

Chrysteel looks to the fight club. "Hmm...No magic, weapons, Servants or killing. That my type of fighting. At least I should be able to test my physical strength and endurance. Niruna, can I try my hoof at this fight club?"

 

Chrysteel never truely counted herself as a physical fighter but she knows changelings are very able in the field of battle. As a once Princess of the hive she had to learn all of the positions of the hive and be able to perform them to a moderate degree.
