" And so you have the right to be! My husband may may no longer be within his prime, but he will always be the beast of Saduaris. And you are his sworn, the Great Winter's Axe of the Frozen North. That makes you one of us as well. "

Lorec, now rubbing the back of his head in a small fit of bashfulness, was actually blushing, a sight that would come a once in a lifetime.

" Still one for the grand speeches... Huh Venna? "

Venna, his wife, got off her knee, and shot him a dirty look with one eye cocked. afterwards, she let a soft grin creep slowly across her face, as she proceeded to playfully punch Lorec's right arm. Letting out a small yelp and grabbing at the area of which she struck, rubbed it slowly as she scolded him.

 

" Oh, do not give me that nonsense, Lorec Krin. You and I both know that you've always been overzealous with those flopping gums of yours. "

 

Hearing this, the entire group of the Golden Horns burst out laughing in whimsy and jubilee. Even Lorec's son was joining in the lighthearted hazing.

 

" Well, it seems that my mother is still even to tame my father, after all this time! "

 

After a few moments of laughter ringing throughout this realm of dreams, Venna then pulled the emotionally emasculated minotaur into her embrace, and then offered a light peck upon his lips. Everywhere throughout the knolls of the metaphysical, a resounding "oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!", not unlike that of a schoolhouse full of teenage stallions and mares, was being vocalized by the entirety of the Golden Horns as this occurred. Venna then pulled away from Lorec, and pulled his hand away from the bicep that she had struck. She then began to rub it slowly herself as they pulled each other into their respective gazes. " And that's one of the reasons why I married you, ya big bastard. " She winked at him. Lorec, speechless and left with no knowledge of what to say next, would only pull her into an overly encasing hug, along with his son.

But, she had to smile at the resounding hug he shared with his family. It was truly moving to see how much he loved them, even after all this time.

 

She turned her head idly and spotted a familiar figure moving down the hill. Not thinking anything of why she was there, she beamed and waved her hoof. "Sifana! Greetings!"

But, this level of meekness from an entertainer? It was certainly a slight shock.

"Hang on...."

 

Suddenly, they both felt the rock fall beneath their hooves. They would slide down a rock slide until finally stopping in one. Simple. Room.

It was a room the size of a football field, but there were brown glyphs and textiles all along the walls of the place. All around them, everywhere was nothing but treasures and valuables that'd make a dragons treasure collection look like a peasant's. There were many jewels, gems, necklaces, and rings that were all piled as far as the room stretched.

There were even older treasures like toys, books weapons, and paintings held on the walls for preservation. Generations upon generations of historical treasure was kept under here, and only few ponies in the world knew about it. And Rarity...just became another.

Ice started walking along the room, "All of this. Is my family history....everything as far as your eyes can see. Treasures from nearly every era. Books detailing every event. Weapons from every battle." He shrugged, "Of course....this technically all belongs to me.....it doesn't really. It belongs to my family."

 

He walked up to the wall, "My family was actually buried here...within these very walls. Over hundreds of thousands." He sighed, and turned to face Rarity, "You wanna know why I'm showing you all this? It's because not only do I like you and trust you enough to want you to see all of this. But more importantly....there's something bigger behind all of this......six somethings bigger to be exact."

 

He gave another sigh, and turned around. There was an altar at the end of the room with a podium in front of a giant painting. The painting went as high as the 50 foot tall room. On the painting, there were three unicorns joining their horntips. 3 stallions,and 3 mares. Ice kept walking until he was in front of the altar, "Rarity....take your time and look around. Enjoy the view all you want, and when you're done....come back to see me right here. There's something else I want to show you....and please....don't be scared at what you see....."

A predictable and expected move was made as Falza focused with hyper instinct ready to counter act. By propelling his body towards the ground then turn in a curve with simple ligament thrusts and rotations, he has enough momentum to change
course of direction directly around the pillar and head straight for Slieght's side after casting Haze seemingly spilting himself in-two as the other mirrors his movement perfectly. The magic clouds that Falza sent away is violently curling in the mist leftovers

Rarity's eyes went wide as she stepped into the room; this was more than she had ever expected. Her eyes immediately darted towards the gems, but she tore her gaze away from them; she had already promised that she wouldn't be taking anything from this place, no matter how alluring it was. Instead, she focused on the paintings that surrounded the place, marveling at how intricate and finely crafted they were. "This is all so amazing, Ice Blizzard. I wish I could have been there..."

"We're going back in time, back to before the collection of the tribes. Back to when my life began.

Sleight Mist saw the two shots coming, and mentally rolled her eyes yet again; this pony was going to be a pain. Summoning two thick, glass pane thick barriers of solid energy to her sides, she pushed them towards the direction of the shots. Satisfied that one would block the real shot, while the other would send the energy barrier crashing painfully into Falza if he didn't deal with it, she formed the next part of her plan. Without looking back, she fired a powerful beam in front of her, loosening up her body. The blast wasn't aimed at Falza, but that wasn't the point. The blast was designed to do what it was doing; send her rocketing back away from her current location, sliding backwards out over the ice at high speeds.

Ice gave a confirming nod, "Alright....this might be a bit--"

 

He was suddenly cut off. The link between himself and his ancestors was now fully connected. His eyes became solid white as he stood there, unable to speak. All the sudden, six light blue, ghostly unicorn spirits floated down in front of her. They eventually materialized into their forms when they were alive.

 

First, was a stallion with war paint, helmet, and furskin clothing wrapped around him. Many scratched lines could be seen along the lining of his helmet, indicating he was the leader. He had a dark blue coat, green eyes, and a flat, purple mane. His tail was also purple and had several ragged cuts made into it, and a cutie mark of a simple ice cube with geometric measurements surrounding it, representing his simplistic, yet effective planning.

 

Next, there was a stallion that looked a lot like the first, except he had no helmet, and no paint. Instead, he had a furscarf akin to what many ponies would wear today. He had a sky blue coat, red eyes, and a solid white mane that was carefully groomed downwards. His tail was white as well, and also looking properly kept. On his flank was a cutie mark of a polar bear, representing his cunning and wit that matched said animal.
 

Third, was a bulky looking stallion with orange eyes. He had a bit of a lazy eye, and several gashes across his face. In addition, he also had a spear holder tied to all four of his hooves. He had a teal coat with cuts and bruises all over his body. He was also bald on top, and his tail was blue and yellow like Ice's, albeit shorter. His cutie mark was a trio of ice spears, representing his weapon expertise.

 

The mares of the clan made their descent as well. The first was a beautifully tall mare with a violet coat, golden eyes, loving smile, and a long flowing mane that was blue and black. Her tail was beautifully curled and never looked like she ever had a hair out of place. Her cutie mark was an ice heart that had a striking resemblance to the crystal heart of the Crystal Empire. It represented her love of her clan.

 

The next mare was a thin, and crazed pony with a wild grin on her face. She had a gray coat, pink eyes, wild and frizzled blonde hair, and a tail that was equally frizzled. Her cutie mark was, "CO2" with icicles hanging from it. It was the chemical makeup of carbon dioxide, when solidified, becomes dry ice. She was the first clan unicorn to perfect dry ice magic.

 

The last mare was a short and shy looking mare with glasses. She had a white coat, blue mane, and sapphire eyes. Her mane was black and fluffy with a single purple stripe through it. Her tail was the same and very long. She was also holding a book in her hooves, as well as her cutie mark being a frozen book. It represented her everlasting knowledge.

with storm strike  crackling and grinding the ice below instantaneously surged on energy. A spit second later, Falza anticipated her luanch movement right after she started
as he dashed past by the wall reaching great speeds becoming an unseen blur with only enough thrust to perfectly stop close behind Sleight aiming a destructive left hoof half-axe kick to her lower back then attempts a nukiuchi by grabbing Fan Blade's ring slashing at her horn from the sheath while she was faced vertically upward from the kick itself.
Falza begins his finishing move once his earlier attack would succeed..., landing one unarmed hoof down casting storm lock to luanch and campfire cage all 8 rods around the mare after he dashed out the way backwards while she would burn and jolt with waves of low-rank lightning charges, only enough power to render enemies fully paralysed and scorched.

Being a far enough distance away, Sleight Mist could see the attack coming cleanly. Still moving, she dropped to the floor, throwing up her third barrier in order to absorb the force of the kick.

To the left of me is my brother, Gelidus, the clan's smartest. Next to him is Duratus, the Clan's weapon expert.. We are very happy to meet you, because you seem to be one of the ponies closest to our successor. Only few ponies that share a strong bond with him have witnessed what is down here."

And next to her is Nix. the best magic user in the clan." She fixated her gaze on Rarity for a moment, "You are very beautiful if you don't mind me saying so. But I suppose you are probably wondering what Icesius has brought you down here for."

 

Glaciem continued, "Let's start off with how we're here. You see, an earth pony with active magic; sounds impossible right? Well, it is. Unless...." He pointed his horn to a painting on the wall, causing it to move around. It was a painting with a repeated image of a pony that looked like himself and the others in a lone area of the world, albeit very younger, "Long ago, six unicorns, 3 stallions, and 3 mares settled in the northernmost part of Equestria. They worked hard to live in such an uninhabitable area where it was so cold. They nearly gave up. They nearly wanted to get up an go home...."

They stood determined against the odds of what would befall them. Inside this underground area, they encountered many enemies and had to try to make it out alive. They encountered demons, monsters, and abominations the likes of which Equestria had ever seen. It had been a mere eight days, and they were practically half dead by the time they actually found a place that could potentially lead them to safety."

 

Glaciem spoke once again, "However, they had yet one. Last. Encounter. One more fight and they could all return home. .....The Ice Dragon."

 

Frigus cleared her throat, looking at Rarity, "Sweetie, please stop us if we are moving along too fast for you."

"This wasn't something I learned, it was something I was born with. Though it took me many decades to achieve this level of control; i'd assume any magically apt unicorn could have halved that time. Learning magic has never come easy for me." She looked to Rhetoric. "Times are much different than they were then. The tribes were all wary of those unlike them, and didn't trust strangers, to say less of those not similar to them. You'll have a much easier time if you convince them otherwise."

 

Starlight nodded, listening closely to Terra's explanation. Though, she had a hard time believing magic was not her strongest point if she could do all this herself.

 

"You're certainly rather adept at magic yourself," she commented, "I've never seen terramancy on such a grand scale from a single pony."

After Starlight fished speaking there was a moment of silence , as Rhetoric quickly processed what was said he suddenly burst out laughing "HAHAHAHAHHA... Terra- mancy... Because her name is Terra... and she does magic.. hehehehhe... oh that's a good one..." he wiped his eye from the little tear that had formed while he had his laughing fit 

"...Oh that wasn't a joke... that actually makes sense... erm yeah... still punny though"
