open Crystal Of Darkness

[Unicorncob 5,717]

Helvard, his instincts as a protective leader kicking in, spread his forelegs out to shield anyone behind him from the dark entity forming from the orb.

"Everyone stay behind me," He ordered calmly, while staring down this 'Oblivion Darkness', "Do not make any sudden moves."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

As Awilix seen Helvard offer she thinked "Thank the godeess." But said "If you insist." And slowly moved behaind the Helvard she lifted her head a litle in the air,as she thinked thet Helvard will be able to portect her and the others from thet thing thet comed out of orb.

[Skylord Nexus 527]

Oblivion came down to the ground and did a jokey bow "First things first the mail pony had nothing to do with this he was mearly manipulated by my amazing acting. Second thing i want the amulet so i will give you two options give it to me and i will hurt no pony when i take over equestria or option two where you dont give me it and i tourtre you and get it anyway."

 

Luna stepped out "You will never get the amulet!"

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

'My godess defends my' Awilix thinked as smaile comed out on her face.Awilix move her hoove forwered,but stil keeping her self behaind Helvard and said "If you whant it you will have to kill my frst!" As she finished she almost yelled and then after she finished one tought gone true her head 'No,I did not whant to say thet.I dont whant to die today.'

[Unicorncob 5,717]

Helvard snarled and stepped forward, grabbing his axe tight in his jaw and glaring down Oblivion. Back home, he was considered an unstoppable force in battle.

 

"You will harm nopony today, demon," he warned, eyes slitting with anger, "If you want this amulet, you will need to fight through me."

[Skylord Nexus 527]

Oblivion sniggered at the ponies "Well i would love to but unfortunatly i am not really here this is a progection of me right now i am in my lovely dark castle in Oblivia which just so happens to be the land i rule over so unfortunatly i cant. But i will let bigons be bigons and let you have this one... For now i mean you still have to find the others."

 

Celestia tilted her head "What others?"

Awilix tok a big breath as she heared thet Dark is not there with them,then she looked at Celestia after Dark finished and said "Miss,do you think it would be smart to trow orb out or destroy it?" Awilix voice was quait as she did not like Celestia so much,and was uncomfortable to even speak to hear.

[Pucksterv 4,508]

Aurai was confused... Others... there are more amulets... seems logical but why?  Aurai looked at Oblivion with a little confusion "Are you saying that there other amulets? Because we will get those too and you'll never get your hooves on it." Aurai looked over to Princess Celestia "I mean... We will do whatever Princess Celestia suggest... because I do not have the authority to speak this way." After that, Aurai went quiet. She had probably said too much.

[Skylord Nexus 527]

Oblivion chuckled "Look at you all your just like dogs waiting for your master to give you commands. Usually here I would make a pun like now play dead but unfortunately I cant kill you in this form. Anyway out of the kindness of my heart  I will tell you about the amulets. Firstly there are six of them, second they are said to be more powerful than the elements of harmony themselves, and thirdly unlike the elements the amulets can be linked to anypony. Well that's all from me kill you later." As Oblivions form dissipated the a shield came around the orb stopping anyone who would want to take it and/or destroy it. What also could be heard was Oblivion's voice "And so the race begins MUHAHAHAHA." 

[Unicorncob 5,717]

Helvard listened closely to Oblivion's explanation, unsure of whether to trust the dark entity or not.

 

"So there are more of these amulets," He muttered, upon the spirit's departure, "And they are stronger than the Elements of Harmony...?"

 

He raised his head and turned to Princess Celestia, with a stern look of sureness. "Your Highness, if I may, I would suggest we begin a hunt for these amulets before this 'Oblivion' can reach them first."

[Pucksterv 4,508]

"I agree." Aurai said shyly. "Maybe it's best we find these amulets... before Oblivion gets them first." She looked at the sun princess, hoping to get some sort of reaction. "So Princess... do you have any idea where we can find these amulets? or are you as clueless as us on this subject?"

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix lowered her head as she did not got anny answer from Celestia.Awilix was litte angry,but as others started to talk about amulets and she looked down at her amulet and quaitly said "So you are so little yet so powerfull." She smailed and for moment forgot about her anger at Celestia for ignoring her.

[Skylord Nexus 527]

Celestia turned to look at the group "I am afraid i have no idea where to find the other amulets and from the sound of his confidense Oblivion either knows we dont know or he does know where they are..." Suddenly the amulet around Awilix's neck began to glow and float as it did so a beam of light came out of it and it almost seemed to point to a place on the map in the middle of the room more specifically the Everfree Forest.

[Unicorncob 5,717]

Helvard watched as the amulet around Awilix's neck began to glow and float through the air. It produced a beam of light, pointing to a spot on the map in the room.

 

He walked over and looked more closely. "The Everfree Forest," he confirmed, then looked toward the others, "It must be showing us where one of the amulets is."

[Skylord Nexus 527]

Celestia contemplated on the situation before speaking "Well then it looks like it is up to you to collect these amulets and save Equestria. I have however sent for two more ponies to help you." Suddenly a door at the other end of the room opened and two ponies could be seen standing in the door way. Celestia turned "Speaking of which here they are now."

[Love Doctor Blaze 536]

Crescendo star was walking through the castles hallway. He has volunteered to help out some ponies that needed help with a crystal of some sort. He eventually reached the doors, were he saw another pony waiting. Must be the other pony who volunteered Thought Crescendo and walked in.

 

Some of the ponies were a bit intimidated by his giant posture. So he decided to present himself "Greeting mares and colts! My name is Crescendo Star, and i have volunteered to help you guys out." Said Crescendo with his usual positive attitude. He fixed his orange bowtie and waited for a response.

Aria looked upon the band of wary looking travelers. Perfect, she thought, let us clear up some issues now, lest I find myself being pestered into nonsensical conversation later...this one to my right has already proven himself to be far too positive.

 

"Salutations." She began. "I am not your friend, this whole endeavor is folly, and certain death most likely awaits for us all."

 

Striding to the other end of the room towards the exit, pausing just outside to look over her shoulder, she looks expectantly at the group. "Shall we begin?"

Helvard turned toward the doorway, and spotted the two figures standing there. The stallion, Crescendo Star he called himself, seemed friendly enough, but he did not exactly appreciate the mare's tone, or lack of concern. It almost made him question why she was standing there.

 

Nonetheless, he bowed his head to the two, putting a hoof over his heart in greeting.

"Well met, new allies," He began, "I am Helvard Shatterhoof, of the Frozen North. It will be a pleasure having you."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix looked as at the dore right as it opened and smailed as frstof em speak,but right as the mare finished her smaile desapired,she thinked "Death most likely wait for you,just around frst bright corner.". Awilix quick shaked her head and again with fake smaile said "Lets go,it would be best if we get there before the.....night."

(OOC: Hi everyone, I'm making a last post so Bjorg doesn't just vanish into thin air [Nex asked me to]. Once again, good luck on the rest of the roleplay. I can't lie and say I'm not tempted to ask to rejoin, but it's for the best that I don't. Thank you guys again for a fun time.)

 

Bjorg had been quiet. She eyed the newcomers, but with a dull disinterest. She hadn't said a word throughout the entire drama of Oblivion appearing. Her mind was elsewhere.

 

Finally, Bjorg spoke, to Celestia. "When Bjorg was coming in to the Castle, a mail-pony came and delivered a letter to Bjorg from her homeland. Bjorg's griffins do not write letters often, and so I looked at it. My clan is at war." She fell silent again, glancing at Aurai. Damn it. Bjorg was just beginning to like Aurai very much, she reflected gloomily. She turned back to Celestia. "I cannot partake in this venture. I am needed at my home, and it seems you have others very capable here. One day Bjorg shall come back to Equestria and form a bond between the Great Blood-Storms and the ponies here!" Bjorg shouted the last bit, getting excited, then fell abruptly silent again. 

 

She turned to Helvard, Aurai, Awilix, and Crash. Bjorg had begun to like them all a lot. Bonds in Equestria were different, not the respect, fighting-driven bonds of her homeland, but softer. Almost like the love between two griffins, but not that either. It was different.

 

"Good luck," Bjorg said calmly, refusing to get choked up. Those of the Blood-Storm did not feel bad. There is no point in regretting a decision. If Bjorg wants to come back one day, then Bjorg will! But Bjorg's family must come first.

 

She respectfully nodded her head to the newcomers. A silent way of telling them to take care of what would have become her friends. They looked almost as capable as Bjorg, she was sure they might be able to handle themselves. 

 

Stretching her wings and without another word, she moved out the great doors, and, so that nobody could say anything that would make Bjorg choke up (as she knew she would), she crouched and flew out a window, away from the castle. 

 

Until we meet again, friends of Bjorg. 

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"Let the moon light show you the way..." Awilix started as she looked at Bjorg as he got away,she started onces again but much more quaitly "...let the moon light show you the way friend." Awilix smailed as Bjorg desapired from her sight.

 

 

(See you later Litle Lady )

[-Octavia- 1,176]

Aria watched these proceedings with a deadpan expression, but internally waves of longing were crashing down upon her. A member down already, and we've yet to even set off, she thought ruefully. I suppose I should not be surprised. I, too, would have been drawn to the call. A war sounds like a splendid way to break the monotony of these past few weeks. Who am I kidding? I am no soldier. I wound with words, at best, and of what use will that be against such darkness? Nevertheless, action is yet around the corner, and I can only embrace what new challenges present themselves.

 

Her gaze drifted over the party again, this time properly taking in details she somehow missed before. The warmth; the spirit; the authenticity; the strength. Such things seemed to emanate radiantly in light of their friend's departure. Slightly confused, Aria wondered if she would come to judge them differently in time. The one that had seemed shaken by her pronouncement of certain death, by which she was no means lying, carried with her an easy grace. Then there was the rougher-looking warrior, whom had greeted them most courteously, despite, Aria had sensed, the slight injustice he seemed to have felt at the terse introduction. Necessity requires we co-exist, I suppose. How I am to interact with them, however, seems like it will prove a challenge more difficult than that on which we are about to set...

"Celestia nodded at Borjg of course may the sun guide you and grant you a safe journy home." After Borjg left Celestia began to talk again "Well now i must ask you to get to the everfree forest post haste you will find the 'Castle of the two sisters' it can provide you with accomidation."

 

 

(Sorry for my bad spelling my spell check kind of goes on and off)

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Awilix listen as Princess of the Sun talked,and as she finish Awilix turned look to amulet and said "What do we do with this amulet?" As Awilix heard thet amulet is relly strong she hoped she would be able to keep it,and maybie return to her tribe with thet trophy from her godess around her neck.

[Skylord Nexus 527]

Celestia looked at Awilix "Take it with you little one keep it secret keep it safe dont trust anyone with it keep it with you and all times. I know this is big of me to ask you to do this but if you do you will have mine and my sisters eternal gratitude my dear."
