Necromancers in Ponyville

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

Pure Intent had his chance, he and his guards were now in hot pursuit of somepony who tripped the alarm. Seeing him, Pure cast a powerful paralysis spell towards the direction of the pony. However, he missed. 

 

"Take him down!" He ordered the guards around him, they readied their weapons and charged towards the pony.

[marlyly 186]

Voyage was sitting in the back of his shop, like every night.

He took a deep breath, and began to shuffle his cards. He thought that nothing was going to happen, that the card will remain silent like they were during the last 20 years.

He was wrong.

As his hooves touched the deck one of the cards felt down on the floor, Voyage looked at it, it was the Magician. A symbol of beginning, and great power.

 

He decided to open his spirit to the magic, he only let him flow half a second and already felt major magic spells used in the capital. He could easily felt the dark nature of the magic in state, a disgusting aura he hasn’t felt for centuries, but that he wasn’t able to spot precisely: necromancy.

 

“Time for some old school investigation” he said to himself.

 

One of those auras was melting with the light aura of a royal guard, apparently struggling with magic, making it easy to locate. Voyage grabbed his tarot, left the shop, and aimed for this direction.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

Shadowheart swirled the shadows around him, creating a whirlwind. He sharpened the edges, making them sharp enough to cut through pony flesh. He expanded it outward, making the circle bigger and attempted to take out all of the guards approaching him.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

Pure cast dispel, it at least stopped the wall of energy from spreading further, but did not fully remove it.  He was agitated by this. The guards were encircling the energy, just waiting for it to fall. Keeping the energy from spreading was incredibly taxing on Pure.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

Shadowheart frowned. Something was keeping him from sending the shadows any further. His brow contracted, and he applied more force, pushing it against the bonds that held it. He knew he couldn't keep this up for long, and was going offensive before his energy ran out.

The Stalker Bug watched the pony intensely, and from her crystal ball, Scrya saw it all.

"Oh my my my. What do we have here? Fellow reader of the cards has seen something? Interesting." she said, grabbing a small bag from her alchemy cabinet.

Out of it, she took two extremely small silverfish-like bugs.

"Mummy wants you two to take the Guards nearest to him." she whispered, teleporting them to his location.

They crawled quickly to two Guards, one white, one gray, digging under their skin and taking their minds.

"HAULT!" they yelled together at the quick pony.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

Pure and the guards saw that the dark energy was slowly dissapating. He knew that if he kept this up the pony he was facing would run out of energy.

"Keep pushing!" He yelled to the guards, they continued to encroach further and further upon Shadowheart's position.

 

Once the field entirely dissapated, guards rushed in and attempted to apprehend Shadow, they grabbed at him, trying to hold him still.

 

"Tell us what you know about necromancer activity in Ponyville!" They yelled in unison. They did not at all sound like they were in the mood for any cryptic words.

The magic ethereal trail leads Voyage to a street where guards were trying to restrain a magic wall.

“Stay away” he yelled.

“Sir this is Canterlot’s guard’s business and you shouldn’t ….”

As the guard was answering, Voyage touched the magic wall. He didn’t try to dispel it, but quietly and slowly analyze the essence of the caster, he easily felt it, not that far and casting another spell.

A spell that could easily slain half of the guards.

 

He took his decision, he teleport himself near from the dark caster, and reinforce the magic wall using a earth rune. The guards should stay away, and this pitiful necromancer should flee.

 

But two guard interupted him.

"Sir, interfering is a crime and you will be arrested if you do not leave." A guard shouts at him. They tackle both the necromancer and voyage to the ground, trying to hold them but clearly struggling to do so. They are confused as to why a stranger would help this necromancer.

Voyage wasn’t able to grab his cards he had to think fast.

 “Hey” he whispered to the necromancer, I can help you if you act fast. Put your horn on my cards and think about a safe place, I’ll teleport us.

"What" ?

"We're runing out of time, I just reinforced your magic wall, we're in the same boat so thrust me"

The ruckus of the guards and the spikes of dark magic around the area shook of a shadow out of his dreams. Listening to the hooves clasping against the wood and stone of the barracks floor told him that something was not right. We could feel fear and concern from the ponies running all over the place and had an idea of what was going on.

 

“Guard! guard what’s happening” a strong voice resounded on the cells and the corridor communicating them. “Are we at war now?” he added with sarcasm as a black armored unicorn stopped for a second to put the prisoner in place.

 

“Shut up you filthy beast” the guard said to the shadow sited at the corner of the cell, a weird shape was the source of the voice behind the iron bars only a pair of golden eyes defied the darkness of the corner looking straight at the custodian. “I don’t know what is going on and even If I knew why should I tell it to a monster?”

 

The shadow closed his eyes, and sighed “Just do me a favor and try not to get killed out there asshole”, he said turning his eyes to the moon above “… they will grow stronger for each one of you to fall”

 

“Still speaking your stupid crazy stuff” the guard said as lifting a stone with his magic and shoot it into the cell towards the eyes… it just disappeared not even making a sound. “Im sick of you” the unicorn spited towards the “speaking corner”. “Buck you, Ill call the captain to get rid of you as soon as I can”

 

The unicorn ran asking for the captain of the guard and sent a messenger to find him towards the battlefield.

Shadowheart kept pushing, sweat trickling down his face. The force keeping him at bay was strong. His eyes darted to the shadows, which were slowly loosing form.

"Keep pushing!" he heard a voice yell.

He tried to withdraw the ring of shadows, but it was too late. He weakened, and almost collapsed. The guards charged him, demanding he tell them what he knew, when a pony teleported next to him and reinforced his wall. He heard a guard shout something, and was tackled to the ground by a guard.

 

He struggled, kicking his hind legs and sending shadows lashing out at the guard holding him, trying to catch him on his unarmored stomach.

@@Harmonic Revelations, 

 

Pure's work was done, he headed back to the barracks so the guards could interrogate the ponies that were held captive. However, a guard interrupted him.

 

"Sir, can we dispose of the beast in the dungeon? It's speaking nonsense again, running it's putrid mouth off to me." He said.

 

"You are pathetic, I don't need guards who are intolerant of useful information. Perhaps you should be the one being disposed of. Make yourself useful, bring the creature to the interrogation room before I dispose of you." Pure said in an almost yelling voice. He had no tolerance for guards who don't use their head.

[Honestly2awesome 24]

"What an interesting turn of events..."said Scrya, turning away from her ball.

If she were a stronger pony, she would help, but she was skilled in crafting and growing herbs. Not to mention here powers as a Seer.

'I need to check my cards...' She thought, pulling out her deck.

She pulled a single card.

Temperance.

"Curious...very curious..."

[The Original 571]

Arcane ignored the guards for the most part, all they ever did was run around and think they could perform magic. The guards weren't meant as a military, they were meant as protection for the royal family and Canterlot. There was quite the mess of action nearby, and it would seem the guards had no idea how to handle it.

Arcane walked over a little ways and watched from a distance.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Jack Stallionston looked around him. "The air is foul and i feel uneasy." He said to a nearby guard. The guard nodded his head in agreement. "I will protect my land from the evil that inhabits it whether i have the authority to or not." Jack excused himself from the guard and went into a nearby store.

Destiny is written, it's like an unlimited scroll that can be read by those who know. But landing his hooves on this scroll allways create a loud sond in the void, ridles on the water surface.

Even in the heart of the action, Voyage was able to fell it.

"There's another player, I'll hate to take care of this too."

 

He now had a new direction to follow.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

Shadowheart woke up in a small room, sitting on a hard, metal floor. He guessed that he was about to be interrogated. He smiled, wondering how long it would take until this interrogator's mind snapped. He frowned, remembering what happened. Who was that pony who was holding back his magic, and how could he combat shadow magic?

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

Shadowheart kept pushing, sweat trickling down his face. The force keeping him at bay was strong. His eyes darted to the shadows, which were slowly loosing form.

"Keep pushing!" he heard a voice yell.

He tried to withdraw the ring of shadows, but it was too late. He weakened, and almost collapsed. The guards charged him, demanding he tell them what he knew, when a pony teleported next to him and reinforced his wall. He heard a guard shout something, and was tackled to the ground by a guard.

 

He struggled, kicking his hind legs and sending shadows lashing out at the guard holding him, trying to catch him on his unarmored stomach.

Harmonic was sensing a large battle was going on, he teleports close to the disturbance, and sees Shadowheart being overpowered by the guards.

 

"Perhaps I overestimated him, I'll have to take this into my own hands." Harmonic says to himself under his breath. He casts a spell cloaking him.

 

The guard cannot keep his control of the pony, with the mixture of him having to dodge the magic being cast at him and having to resist the physical push on him, the guard falls off. Quickly standing back up, but missing his opportunity as a bolt of magic goes straight through the side of him. He falls to the ground, dead. 

 

The other guards turn around and see nothing. The guard holding down the other pony quickly feels an ethreal blade running him through, he falls over, not dead but fatally wounded. 

 

The guards start to swing their horns wildly, casting magic in many directions. Their wings were sharp but not powerful. Harmonic lets out a laugh at their futile attempts. He runs over to Shadow, putting his horn of him and teleporting them both further into the woods.

"Give them back" said Voyage

"Why, one of our mens heard you wispering about those cards, why are they so important ?, not to mension you helped this necromancer back there".

"All I can tell you is that there's a bug it the brain of the guard behind me, and if you dont give me my cards right now, well, let say you wont be able to ask me those stupid questions any more".

 

As he was speacking, the guard behind him began to moove in a weird and colvulsive way.

[Honestly2awesome 24]

Scrya walked away from her ball.

She felt a tingling.

She pulled out her cards. Three were drawn.

Temperance.

The Emperor.

The Chariot.

"What an odd combination..." she whispered to herself.

Suddenly, shrill cry came from the crystal ball.

Ib returned, with a small note.

Shadowheart backed away from where they teleported, looking around for any more guards. Seeing none, he turned to Harmonic. "They have a unicorn. Powerful. I assume that he used a dispel. He was combating my magic, keeping it from killing all of them. I haven't seen one that powerful in a long time."

[Colt 555]

After some time the unicorn came back opened the cell and with his magic pulled a chain that ran to the shadow on the back “Walk bastard” he said pulling the chain treating the prisoner like a dog “You have questions to answer ”

 

The chain on the other end raised up over the head of the guard. The eyes came closer to him and off the shadows into the light. First two paws then the torso and claws and finally his head. A dragon not taller than an alicorn with his wing folded like a hood and coat stood proudly in front o the guard over his hind legs. The chain was attached to all of his claws and neck starting the links on that last part.

 

The guard pissed off for the straight look on the golden reptilian eyes pulled the chain downward “Of your fours”, the dragon was pulled out of the cell but did not followed the order. “I SAID ON YOUR FOURS, DOG!” once again the pull took some balance of the dragon but he didn’t do a thing.

 

“I don’t have time for this shit” said the unicorn pulling the chain as the dragon followed until both reached the interrogation room. While walking the dragon payed attention to all what happened around, words, faces, smells, feelings… “This is not good” were the thoughts on the prisoner.

 

“Get inside freak” said the guard pulling the chain and making him enter the room.

 

The dragon followed the instruction stepping inside the half lighted room

"I know him, and he hate him with a passion. You see, he is a guild defector. We had killed a member of his family when he attempted to leave. It was truly his fault, he asked us to spare his life, and we did. He is a powerful mage as he trained under me directly. He is foolish and misguided, avoid him and his guard ilk." Harmonic said.

 

"Where were you headed off to anyway, brother?" He asks, a bit of curiosity can be distinguished in his voice.
