private A meeting with Death

[Fire Runner 160]

Curse felt like he was going to throw up.

"disgusting!" he snorted, trotting away from all of the love-birds.

He slumped over in a patch of flowers and sighed, memories from his past danced in his head like a wildfire to a forest.

"when do we get to kill some undead? that's what i'm here for..." Curse whispered to himself.

Paradox blushed from the show of affection, and, in return, turned his head and nuzzled her cheek. "Thank you..." He kissedher cheek and smiled, then said, "We should probably go to sleep, we have a big hike ahead of us tomorrow. We need to be ready for anything."

Arrow nodded and stood up. "As I said before, Pretty much every patch of moss is soft enough to sleep on." She said, smiling and walking over to a small soft patch near the bench her and Paradox were sitting on.

She curled up but didn't take her eyes off Paradox. *Please come over here, Please come over here.* She thought.

Dox's face went full red as he saw Arrow staring at him from the moss. 'S-she must want company down there... Well, I'll be more than happy to oblige!' He got off the bench and walked over to the spot, laying down next to her and smiling, his blush having only faded a little.

Arrow smiled and cuddled up close to him. "This will probably the last good night's sleep we all have in a long time...and what better way to make it better than to share it with somepony else." She said, closing her eyes.

 

(OOC: This RP hasn't been very active...and we just started.)

[Count Paradox 3,548]

(OOC i know, but... just give it some time, i promise there will be excitement soon.)

Dox smiled as she cuddled in close, and he pet her back and gave her a loving kiss on the forehead. "I completely agree." He laid his head down next to hers, smiling and closing his eyes.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall looked around. Everyone was falling asleep. He sat on his bench, wondering what her should do: should he fall asleep, or should he stay awake in case something happened? He sighed and chose the awake choice. He stood up and slowly, quietly, walked past all the ponies to the edge of the forest.

"Maybe now I'll be trustable if I don't fall asleep and something happens."

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Grak turned his head to the wind and sniffed. 'Yes... yes, I smell... living flesh...' "I shall have a good meal tonight, I think..." He said to himself as he looked down his hill to the direction of the forest. Grak was one of the few dead beings that had held on to any sentience and ability to speak, but it had become twisted as he was dead. He slowly began descending his hill in the direction of the garden, staying in the shadows as to not be seen.

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade just sat in the shadows, she didnt need to sleep if she didnt want too, she ate all the fruits that she could eat and just looked and kept watch for anything strange.

 

She blinked at turned on her night vision to see through the thick night.

Grak snuck up to the very edge of the garden. He saw that there were many ponies gathered there, and was afraid that they might outnumber him, but his hunger was too strong to ignore. He would sneak around and grab one of them, carrying them off until he was far enough away to eat in peace.

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade thought she saw something move, she stood up and looked deep into the darkness, she turns her head slowly but dosnt see anything.

 

She sits back down and looks at the other ponies,

 

* sigh... Sometimes I wish I had friends, but I can't... I'm a changeling, nopony likes changeling.*

@,

Later in the night, the bat from before came speeding back into the garden, floating in front of Moonbeam and screeching at her to get her attention. She awoke in a daze, still drowsy and tired. "What...What is it little buddy?"

The bat continued to signal to her wildly.

Moonbeam couldn't tell what the bat was trying to say, but something was definitely wrong. She rolled over and shook Lost Knowledge. "Lost! Lost! I think something is wrong! You have to wake up!"

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall heard all this, and looked back into the forest. He couldn't see anything; then again, he wasn't a bat and didn't have echo-location to help him. He tried summoning a spell that created light, and was only able to put it in the center of the garden. He trotted over to Paradox.

"Parry... Wake up. Something's off."

(I have to go back to class in a few minutes so I won't be able to respond for a little over an hour. Sorry.)

 

Lost Knowledge woke up with a start.

 

"Moonbeam? What is it, what's going on?"

 

 

He then heard something coming from the edge of the garden.

 

"Alright, this looks like trouble. Stay back, and try to wake up the others. I'll hold them off in the meantime."

 

He levitated his hatchet into the air with his magic, preparing to throw it at the approaching figure. 

[MelancholicMemory 2,027]

@,

"O-okay," replied Moonbeam, terrified. She hid behind Lost, looking around carefully. She whispered to her pet bat, "Icabod, go wake the others." It flew off towards Nightfall, Paradox, and Arrow.

 

"What do you think it might be?" asked Moonbeam to lost, her voice shaking with fear.

Arrow awoke suddenly in a cold sweat. "Dox...Paradox, Wake up. There's something outside the-" She stopped. *Yes yes, I know that, Calm dow- I will deal with it. Calm down.* She thought, as the plants around them rustled. "Paradox, there's something outside the garden." She whispered, tapping him on the shoulder with her hoof.

Lost Knowledge wasn't really sure how to answer her question. It could be any number of things, but that wasn't very reassuring.

 

"I'm not sure. This is the Everfree, and there are all sorts of strange things in here. But those figures look pretty close to ponies, and I think I've heard those kind of noises before. I'd say it's a pretty good chance that they're undead. But whatever it is, I'm sure we can take care of it. Don't worry. I'll make sure nothing bad happens to you."

 

That's it, isn't it? She reminds you of her. But this is different. You're not the same as you were back then. You think maybe you can protect her, and everything will be okay. But you can't. On a mission like this, you just can't do enough to make sure she's safe.

 

But that doesn't mean I won't try.

[MelancholicMemory 2,027]

@,

Moonbeam wasn't very resassured by what Lost said. She continued to follow close behind him, keeping as close to him as possible. She shook in terror. "I...I just hope everything will be alright..." she whispered softly. She looked all around and listened for even the slightest sound in the brush.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@@MelancholicMemory,

 

Lost Knowledge tried to smile reassuringly. It wouldn't make things any easier if she started to panic or something. The figures were getting closer now. He tried to ignore the fear that gripped his heart.

 

"Don't worry, nothing is going to hurt you as long as I'm here. I'll protect you no matter what."

 

You can't. You know you can't.

 

Yes I can, and I will. 

[MelancholicMemory 2,027]

@,

Breathe, Moonbeam. Breathe, she thought, doing her best to calm herself down. She returned Lost's smile weakly.   "Thank you," she muttered meekly as they approached the dark figures. The mysterious figure, in turn was walking towards them. Oh sweet Celestia! thought Moonbeam, as she felt her heart beat loudly in her chest.

"Don't mention it."

 

He took another step forward and tried to appear as confident as possible. He called out to the figure in the distance.

 

"I don't know what you are or why you're here, but I'll give you one last chance to leave in peace. I'm no warrior, but I won't let you hurt these ponies. Turn around. Now. Or I will kill you. "

[Count Paradox 3,548]

(you do all realise that it's only ONE enemy, right?)

Paradox woke up quickly, but was still half asleep. "Huh? Wha? Wha's goin' on? Wha's wrong?" He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and stood.

Grak saw that all the ponies in the garden were stirring, complicating things. He took a step back as one threatened him, but didn't run, just stood and rethought his plan of attack.

(OOC: Oh I know, Arrow's garden has a mind of its own so...it kinda warned her. Is that alright ?)

 

"There's something here. My...well, my garden warned me about it...something big and dangerous...and dead." She said, staring around her garden for sign's of anything suspicious.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Lost Knowledge saw the figure step back. He took a step forward and tried his best to make his frail body appear stronger than it was.

 

"Yes, go. While you still have the chance. If you don't, I'll have no choice but to kill you. Soon the others will come, and then you won't have an hope of defeating us. So go. Now, before I strike you down."

[MelancholicMemory 2,027]

(Hey, Dox, can you make the villain do something soon. The tension is so thick , you could cut it with a knife )

@,

@,

 

Moonbeam stared nervously at the stranger for what seemed like hours, but was probably really just a few minutes. "It...it doesn't seem to be leaving. And it doesn't look like it's going to attack right away either..." she whispered. "Is it...planning?"

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Paradox suddenly woke up fully upon hearing the word 'dead,' and proceeded to close his eyes and concentrate hard, a silver blade materializing in front of him.

Grak was tired of waiting. He reared up and lunged at the pony closest to him, the one with the axe. He could get hit a few times before he died again, but they would have to stop him from killing Lost first.
