Necromancers in Ponyville

[Honestly2awesome 24]

Scrya put down the knife.

So far, she had a masterpiece.

She use the Pegasi's skeleton, carefully adding extra bones from a leftover diamond dog. Jagged teeth that made a fearsome over bite, the wings given extra length, and long, powerful legs ending with paws and vicious claws. It was elegant.

Graceful.

Deadly.

Now she just need some skin and few extra items....

"We know we're dealing with Necromancers. They can't be that strong, probably just stragglers, the Order doesn't even exist anymore. As for legal help, I can get you released from Dungeon, maybe even get you citizenship."

 

The dragon looked down the Officer he sopped with truth, and his soul was a faithful proof of the unicorn’s words. He was ready to answer but suddenly a spike on magic turned his attention to a room close buy and loud screams and noises make the horned guard to run out of the room.

 

“See, “Brother””  he whispered with sarcasm “Just let it flow…”, the dragon got a chance to engrave the feel of that weird pony magic with this as the commotion once again strike on the guard quarters.

 

The dragon took a sit in the room waiting for the officer and its offers he sighed and wisper. "They wont be able to hold what is comming"

The guards are eyeing the dragon. A smirk forms on one of their faces. He knew that since dragons were rarely considered citizens he could get away with most things when dealing with dragons.

 

"The captain over there holds great respect for the dragons. Unluckily for you, I don't share that respect." One of the guards says.

 

"Now tell us what you know. Do you know the location of the Necromancer lair near Ponyville?" He asks.

 

Jack walked out of the store." if i am going to do anything to stop this evil i will need to talk to the head guard." He said aloud hoping to get the interest of the other guards. I want to help but i do not know where to start. He thought to himself. Jack walked towards the middle of the town he was in. He thought long and hard to where he should go.

One of the guards heard Jack talking about helping, and approached him.

 

"Hey you, you want to help with our little..uh..situation? I'd recommend looking for anyone suspicious and following them, stay out of sight. We'd do it but guards are the most obvious sight to tell them they've been found." the guard says. He hopes this pony is willing to help, all that has happened has been a little bit overwhelming.

 

Shadowheart activated the communication spell. "Brother Harmonic, I've secured the Sanctuary. Get over here and install some defenses. I can't do defensive magic all that excellently." he smiled, closed his eyes, and drank in deeply the pain and suffering from the late guards.

"I'll be there." Harmonic replies. He teleports into the sanctuary.

 

"So it is clear." Harmonic says. Harmonic's horn glows, and a giant stone door towards the front closes.

 

"I will open it when we are done here." He says, looking at shadow.

 

Harmonic walks up to an old looking door. Creaks and grumbles can be heard behind it.

 

"I see some minions were left from when this sanctuary was overtaken, it appears they are still alive." he says, the horn glows and the door opens. Several zombies and skeletons run out of the chamber and into the other parts of the sanctuary.

"Now tell us what you know. Do you know the location of the Necromancer lair near Ponyville?"

 

 

The dragon grinned and raised his brow “What I did?” he even chuckled a bit “You mean you guys had me there on the pit for one week and don’t know why…o Celestia… ludicrous” .

 

“My crime was trying to buy some strawberries on the market with this face your honor, and I declare guilty for that” he said pointing his thumb towards his face clanking the chains on his claws.

 

“And no, I don’t know where the bone collectors borrow is, but If you keep thinking they are small fries you are asking to a dive in a pool of shit”

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Jack nodded at the guard. "I will do that then. Where should I started looking?" Jack was happy that he got the response he was hoping for. Jack prepared for the answer he was about to receive.(I wonder were he might point me.i hope he points me somewhere actually)

"Some suspicious ponies have been spotted circling the town walls at night. We haven't been able to pursue them as they eluded our patrols." The guard says.

"You know dragons aren't welcome here." A guard says, starting to laugh.

 

"We can handle necromancers. We're sure of it." He says with a bit of a cocky grin. Suddenly, a blade runs from one side of his face to the other, and it quickly pulled out. Harmonic steps forward.

Shadowheart frowned. "Who's got control of them currently? Are they bound to this sanctuary?" pacing around the room, he thought. "Now that we've got two Sanctuaries, we should have another foothold in Ponyville. If we erradicate the guards from here, we could drive them back to Canterlot. Let's see... There's the Apploosa, Canterlot, Ponyville, Everfree Forest, and Cloudsdale sanctuaries" he paused. "Did I miss any?"

Harmonic looks at him.

 

"You did not miss any sanctuary. Those are all of the sanctuaries. Hopefully they will be restored soon, but I can make no promises, brother." Harmonic says, trying not to let any emotion into his voice.

 

"These undead are bound to the sanctuary, they are meant to protect it, they will stop guards and other ponies from entering uninvited." he adds, with a bit of a chuckle. He is amused by the thought of the guards being torn apart by the undead minions.

Suddenly, a blade runs from one side of his face to the other, and it quickly pulled out. Harmonic steps forward.

The extinction of the soul behind him sparked the dragon ‘s blood. He wasn’t able to do a thing as the necromancer just teleported himself behind the guard.

 

“You are way to brash for a corpse lover standard” said the dragon without reacting or even moving.

 

(OCC: dude WTF on how many places is harmonic right now?)

[Honestly2awesome 24]

Scrya teleported outside.

She needed good skin if she was to complete her little project.

An earth pony would work. Maybe two, if that wasn't enough.

She trotted with fake happiness down the street.

She saw a young stallion looking serious.

'Looks like he's on a mission.' she said to herself, eyeing him.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

Harmonic looks at him.

"Excellent. I'll return to the Ponyville sanctuary. I plan on getting some supplies and having this one running within the week." His horn glowed, and he returned to the main square of Ponyville. Walking as casually as one could in a dark cloak, he attempted to pass a guard.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

"Some suspicious ponies have been spotted circling the town walls at night. We haven't been able to pursue them as they eluded our patrols." The guard says.

 

"Alright I will start there." Jack started walking towards the city walls and set up a small camp.(I will keep an eye out for these evil presences for the sake of my town.) Jack decided to take a rest until the night.

[marlyly 186]

Scrya was beyond angry.

He had killed her baby.

THAT MOTHER BUCKER WAS GOING DOWN.

Scrya went into one of the sanctuary's labs.

There she found a few dead guards, and a lovely blue pegasus.

Her mind worked furiously, planning out the perfect creation. It would be awhile before it would be finished, but she already had plans for her new baby.

She grabbed a carving knife and began her new project, the project she already named.

Temperance .

Voyage slowly emerges from his sleep.

No one attempt to kill him? What a surprise, those necromancers must be very cautions, or just surfing from a lack of experience.

He left the back of the shop, and began to work on the dead insect again.

 

He felt that even dead, the creature still had a link with its maker, that’s the problem with necromancers they are working with corpses so often they don’t even realize when the body is so damaged that it’s good for nothing.

 

He looked at the window, the moon was red: many had died during his sleep.

“That’s enough”

Voyage took his card, using all major arcanas at one, and teleporting him directly to the source of the dark powers.

He ended up in an empty room, he didn’t know if it was a laboratory or a torture room. A lot of dismembered corpses were lying on the floor, but no sign of a living necromancer.

“Back to the starting point, I’d better leave….. What!”

He saw a crystal on a table, and a tarot game.

“Finally I think I’ll wait”.

A necromancer playing the game, playing the game with his rule, things was getting interesting.

 

As he began to look at the cards, without touching them, Voyage didn’t notice the movement in the pile of corpses.

Scrya suddenly felt a surge of heat through her chest.

Someone was in her experimenting room.

She went around to a dark alley, and took out her crystal.

"Capture the intruder..."she murmured to it.

She had a baby there just in case.

This one she based off of a praying mantis. Made from leftover ponies and two long curved blades, she made it just for protecting her and her things.

"Go on my baby. Capture him... for mummy."

The creature began to move slowly; just a few steps and it’ll be able to dismember the intruder. It could hear the beating of his heart; fell the warm blood flowing through his vein. The creature quietly raised one of its curved deadly harm and sliced!

The blade ended up in the wooden table, the tarot cards were placed in a weird order, forming a circle with one at the dead center, where the blade ended up.

 

“You won’t move until I say so now” said Voyage, sitting on the other edge of the room.

“You’re obviously not sophisticated enough to be able to think, maybe you are even brainless, literally, so I guess your master is watching us”.

He turned his head, so he knew the creature’s maker could see him face to face.

“I don’t know what your business here is but it’s clearly no good. Maybe there’s other way than fighting, come here and talk or you’ll leave me no choice).

Scrya hissed.

She thought for a minute.

Cursing quietly, she teleported to her house.

Walking to the hidden basement door, she quietly opened it.

There was the intruder, inspecting her precious baby.

"You wanted to talk?" she said in a tone much happier than she truly was.

Once night fell, Harmonic sent out Fury Blaze to go on patrol for the night. He had a feeling that Scrya was too busy with her projects at the current point to keep up an accurate report.

 

Fury teleported outside of the city walls, and cast a spell, partially cloaking him. To the untrained eye, he was invisible, to a well trained eye or one who welded magic, he would stick out. Lucky for him, the guards were not sharp nor did they have a lot of magic training. He started to circle the walls, trying to keep track of the guard positions. He then saw some kind of tent, he started to wonder whether or not it belonged to the guards.

“That’s some wonderful work you did there, if you can consider a sacrilege insult to pony-kind a wonderful thing”

Voyage looked at her as he was talking. She was kinda cute (even in the deadliest situation a stallion remain a stallion, and will always judge the physical attributes of the mare facing him), not like the perfect mare, but you could easily feel her pride and intelligence. But they were something behind that face, was it curiosity or just hatred?

“I usually don’t have anything against thieves or illegal scientists, but necromancy isn’t only against the princess’ law, it’s the nature itself that you are violating.”

 

He didn’t give her time to answer and looked at her in the eyes.

“But I don’t usually see card player, even less when they are also talented scientists, so we can make an arrangement. Give up on necromancy, and help me stop it, I could learn you even more than you can imagine. Or you can face me, then your creature will move once more, revealing your cards and sealing your fate, and you will fall”.

The corpse of the guard lied cold behind the dragon. and with no response from the killer OF ANY KIND he just waited there expecting a full problem for the death guard behind him.

Pure saw blood running from the guard behind the dragon. He was confused. Even though Pure saw the guard died, he knew that the dragon had no part in it.

 

He looked at the dragon and started to speak.

 

"There are great forces at work here, and they are overpowering my guards. I know that dragons are powerful creatures with deep magical connections. Perhaps you could help us with our little necromancer problem? In exchange I shall release from the dungeon and remove any and all criminal record you may have." Pure said. Pure had been a guard captain long enough to know the difference between someone innocent and someone guilty. This dragon appeared innocent.

Scrya thought about what he said. But only for seconds.

"I'm very sorry my dear fellow. But my loyalty to my Brothers and Sisters is far too strong to betray them. And what you don't realise," she said, pulling a small lever on the wall next to her, "is that i have a few tricks up my sleeve."

a trap door opened underneath Voyage and her 'Baby', taking them both down a mossy chute.

"Good luck surviving my failures! " she said, giggling with malice, before closing the trap's door. Magically protected, there was no way of getting out without somepony else.

'He was cute. If only he was on our side...' she muses to herself, getting her cards.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

Nodding to the guard, who looked confused but nodded  back, Shadowheart walked past him. Smirking slightly, he began to think of his plan. He was not sure the Order would approve, which is one of the reasons that he was hesitant to join them. He would have to keep his ultimate goals hidden until the end.

Voyage was sad; he knew what was gonna happen. When a player meets another, only a second is enough to judge the level of the other. This lil pony was sage to flee, but foolish to think it could be enough.

He closed his eyes and touched the “baby”, now as empty of magic as her master was of luck. And use the link to look at the scene.

 

Scrya picked up the first card, the tower, then a second, another tower. She blinked; they were no copy in her deck. She looked at all the cards on the floor one per one; all of them were the same. The tower, the symbol of the end, the fall.

 

At the same time Voyage took the remaining card of the sword’s ‘baby’, and cursed Scrya using her own power, making her fall into a stasis state.

 

“You who pretend to read fate, I could have learned you how to rewrite it. To leave this state you’ll have to face your inner demons, I hope it will change your mind.”

As Scrya was fighting inside herself, in a world even Voyage couldn’t apprehend, he kept Scrya’s remaining card near from his own deck and looked at the basement he was expulsed of, some kind of ruin of an ancient sanctuary.

 

He began to follow the wall, looking for an entrance.
