[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri, after taking the rather hard hit on the side, laughed with a devilish grin. "Foal's play..." He cracked his neck and wiped the blood from his mouth. "You've really awoken the beast now..." The color of his irises were strangely in a light purple tint...almost like a haze.

 

Dimitri kept the evil grimace upon his face as he ran up to the now trapped unicorn. He spoke something in Sovestrian, reared his front-right hoof, and connected perfectly with the enemy's jaw. Though not completely certain about a break, Dimitri heard a satisfying crack come from his connected hit. The enemy fell. He took his back hoof and brought it down onto the unicorn's leg.

 

Another beautiful sound of snapping. "You utter fool. To even attempt to hurt me...such a foolish endeavor." He harshly spoke more in his native language, and seemed to be ranting. He shut his eyes tight and opened them back up. He blinked a few times and looked at Acheron.

 

"Should....um....I...what?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron almost let out a sigh of relief as he saw how well Dimitri had beaten the Seneschal pony. 

"Ah, good thing this stallion was capable of handling himself well. It wouldn't have been good had I used more of my power. These wraiths are rare but non extremely uncommon among magic users..."

Relief however soon turned to frustration as the broken Seneschal produced an avatar of magic, joining with the same dark creature he had conjured before.

 

Smashing Acheron to the ground, he yelled painfully.

"I am not so easily defeated! Not by mere fists!" 

The serpentine avatar struck Acheron with a sharp tail, leaving behind a glowing marking on his side.

"They will betray you, as did the others, and will only be praised like them..."

 

Acheron, while extremely pained, managed a laugh.

"Those pathetic ponies I used to call friends? I MURDERED them! You know nothing of me at all! And you know what I did before I sent them across Charon's river? This..."

Mustering his remaining strength, Acheron tore apart the avatar and caught the unicorn in a mass of dark tendrils. They lacerated his body, some even perforating one side and out the other. Any regular pony would have died, but Acheron's magic sustained them to feel every bit of the torture. The pony tried to escape, but the two ponies had bloodied him good and Acheron's magic only seemed to sap it away.

"I would go to great lengths for knowledge and power, but I won't do what you suggested just yet... Now Seneschal, I believe we have other's who'd like to question you personally."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri wasn't stunned by the unicorn's counter attack. He witnessed Acheron, and heard everything he said. Who was Dimitri to judge? He wasn't a saint either. Though, this was back in the recesses of his mind. New thoughts emerged from Dimitri's once contained mind. He looked at the now weakened unicorn and stared at Acheron.

 

"I want him first. I want to see his suffering. I want to dig into his flesh and sinew until the scum will answer me. I say we do it right now, right here. Let me bore into his skin, I want to personally rip the muscle from his bones and the teeth from his gums. I need answers. I need them now..." Dimitri's voice was raspy and darker than before. He looked back at, and couldn't stop eyeing, the cultist...his stare was unwavering.

 

"I need....I need to know about her. We have him. Let me have him before he slinks away like the snake he is. I need to know about her. I need to know if she is safe..." His eyes were unblinking.

Diamond shook her head at Draco as he offered Coffee. "Not for me thank's. I don't drink coffee." She said, glancing back at the door.She looked back at Draco as he asked what her and Delia thought about him. "I think you're cocky, full of yourself, and very flirty...but I also think you are kind, caring and protective...also rather charming. Overall, you're a good colt Draco." She said, smiling at him.

Draco blushed slightly as he looked at Diamond. "I wouldn't say cocky just sure of my abilities that's all. Yeah I am flirty but hey you would too if you had a gorgeous alicorn nearby now wouldn't you?" Draco asked in a joking manner as he drank his cup of coffee slowly. "Want some Delia?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I will never submit to you stupid fools! The Master will have you all crushed before you know it, you'll never make it past Everfree!"

The Seneschal was still alive and struggling through the pain, but was unable to escape. To his dismay, he suddenly saw his body begin to be propped up like a dissection subject before the two ponies.

 

"You've intrigued me foal," said Acheron coldly. "Let's see what that mind of your's knows so far. Be my guest Dimitri. Make him submit, make his will shatter and his knee bend before me..."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri gave a large grin. "I don't need tools. We'll do this like it was to me. Long, painful, and fun." He cackled as he immediately started to close in on the, now imprisoned, unicorn. He ran his hoof over his head and looked the prisoner in the eyes. "First off, before any questions...I think I need some reparations for how you treated my friend and me."

 

Dimitri pressed his hoof on the unicorn's throat. He released, then brought it back down onto his nose. A delightful noise came from it. He reared his head back and slammed his forehead into the unicorn's. A loud clack emitted from the clash. Dimitri raised his head, and noticed the blood dripping from his own head. "Oh...if that broke my skin I'm really hoping that broke your bone."

 

Dimitri used his hooves to hold the unicorn's eyelids open. He pulled them apart ever so slightly. Slowly, and surely he was stretching them past their limit. A vessel from within the eye lid seemed to break. Dimitri saw the blood under the skin. "Oh, so you do bleed? Much more fun this'll be..."

 

He took his hoof and pressed down on the unicorn's naked eye. He pushed slightly at first, then slammed his hoof into the eye. A rather, delicate, sounding squish came from the hit. The unicorn seemed to squirm. Dimitri thought he heard him say something, but was too enamored with the torture to have heard.

 

Dimitri's eyes were now a full purple. Only the pupil was visible among the color. His horn's invisibility spell came undone. A brilliant deep ruby color came from his horn and a small fire started, and was floating above the prisoner's other intact eye. "Now, I want you to answer me. If you decline I will plunge the fire into your eye socket, if you take too long, I'll plunge it into your eye socket, nice and simple."

 

Dimitri looked towards Acheron. "Grab his legs and start to pull them for me." He looked back at the cultist. "Where...is my wife...?" He whispered into the unicorn's ear.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron frowned as he saw the cultist begin to swoon.

"Hahaha, what a frail and weak body!"

Acheron healed him fully, but the tendrils around him still sapped away physical and magical energy.

"Try it again!"

Acheron stretched him out painfully.

 

<The cultist chuckled. "Oh, the hermit pony with only lowly creatures for friends? You could say she's trapped in a dark place, alone, suffering, sad... but oh, may I mention the more you hurt me, the more her suffering increases?>

The cultist braced himself for pain.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri's eyes darkened, and widened. His face became twisted, and the grin dissipated. It was replaced with a grim look. He was visibly shaking. "Что ты сказал?" Dimitri spoke in his native language. He placed his hooves over the cultist's throat. "Что ты сказал?!" Dimitri yelled and pressed his hooves into the throat. He released the cultist's neck, his horn glowing a deeper ruby red.

 

The flaming ember was lowered slowly into the eye of the cultist. Dimitri made sure it didn't go out. It circled the inner eye, and went deep into the socket. He took his hooves and forced open the prisoner's jaws. He let the flame burn, and focused his magic on the mouth. Several teeth started to glow ruby red, and then began to twist while still within the cultist's jaw. They circled faster and the roots began to break and snap.

 

Dimitri took the broken jagged teeth and forced them into the roof of the mouth. He forced one jagged piece straight through the tongue. Dimitri wasn't blinking, nor staying still. He took the still burning ember from the cultist's eye and placed it into his ear canal. "You lie. Say what you want about me, but you dare speak ill of her again and I'll take your tongue and rip the muscle straight out of your damn mouth."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

<Through several yells and groans of pain the cultist managed a weak laugh.

"This is only the beginning of many things to come. You may have rendered me to this humiliation, but I promise you that I will be resurrected by my Master, and come back stronger than before!"

The cultist spat a stream of blood in Dimitri's face.>

 

Acheron huffed in frustration. They were getting nowhere with this physical torture, and Acheron was a bit disappointed in himself for thinking this would work. Without thinking he let loose a sudden flash, and it seemed as if everything went even darker, leaving only him and the cultist while Dimitri was shrouded about with shadows. Approaching the cultist, his horn glowed green as a stream of tendrils prepared to stem forth.

 

<"This old trick? Pl-">

 

The cultist stopped short as the tendrils pierced ethereally through his skull. His eyes went completely green as Acheron extracted several thoughts. This pony's mind was strong, so only a few secrets could be pried to Acheron's disappointment. It also seemed that the cultist's mind had been magically protected by something, so Acheron made sure to take note of that to strengthen his own mind. Among other things, Acheron was pleased to know much of the magic the pony knew, as well as several other histories he had unheard of. Acheron finally retracted the ghostly tendrils and dissipated the darkness.

"See now Seneschal? No knowledge escapes me. It becomes mine in the end," he said as he ripped off the ornate red robe. The cultist appeared stunned, and looked visibly shocked and disturbed.

"Now how about we bring you over to pur friends and pry that remaining knowledge from your skull?"

The dark tendrils tightened around the cultist and rendered him paralyzed.

Acheron suddenly felt woozy, having exerted much strength.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri wiped the blood from his face. He mumbled to himself, and was slightly shaking. He seemed as if he wasn't all there, but he finally spoke after a short while. "Take him back to the manor. I need to go do something." Dimitri stared at Acheron and at the immobilized cultist.

 

His eyes welled slightly. "Don't stop me. I'll be back soon enough. Take him to the others." Dimitri said a final time before he began to trot off away from Acheron. Though his bloodlust remained, it was becoming weaker. His "need" to hurt the cultist faded. A final time before he was too far away, Dimitri looked once more at Acheron. "Don't stop me." He said before his silhouette disappeared into the night.

 

(Dimitri's night excursion! And by that, I mean goodnight...)

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron stood motionless for a while, but then turned and walked away. Had anything else been watching them fight the cultist, they would not have dared to try and attack either of them after what they just saw. Acheron saw the manor come into view and despite the ponies standing outside, he said nothing

His mind was still swarming with the thoughts he had extracted from the cultist, so speech wouldn't have been a priority as he examined and understood the information. Acheron's eyes still glowed slightly green in the darkness.

[dragon4111 914]

"Acheron are you alright my friend?" Draco asked when he saw Acheron coming but it looked like he was out of it. "Have you been sniffing the hay?" Draco asked jokingly as he saw the general of greed. He smiled viciously at him. "A present for me you shouldn't have and it's not even my birthday," Draco said.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron shuddered slightly, finally feeling the full force of fatigue from the battle with the Seneschal cultist. He began to swoon, but before he did he uttered a few strange words. The tendrils wrapped around the cultist tightened and immobolized him further, and after that, Acheron collapsed.

 

<"Weaker than I expected," grinned the cultist. "So much for all he knows...">

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri was alone in the moonlight. He sulked slowly towards his empty, dark house. He couldn't tell if he was being followed, but he didn't care. The front door of the cottage was already open from his earlier visit. He walked in and stumbled from his shaking fit. He walked to the kitchen and got a bottle of alcohol from the fridge. He downed the bottle, and let it fall and crash on the floor.

 

He then somehow made his way to the couch and collapsed. "I'm a failure..." He whispered to himself under his breath. The fact that the cultist didn't give in to the torture angered him. The thought of his beloved suffering tore at his psyche worse than ever before. He stayed on the couch for several more minutes until he thought heard a noise.

 

He looked at the open front door and saw a glimmer of light. He slowly got up from the couch and stared harder at the door. Nothing was there. He lazily walked out the door and looked around. "If you're here to do something, I suggest you do it." Nothing responded. He sighed and then looked at the surrounding forest. "The Everfree..." He gritted his teeth.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

(Bla damn me for getting distracted from this bullcrap history study xD.

Oh, I'll be doing a little bit more with the Seneschal since I feel as if everything with him was a bit rushed... I hope to do a bit more with him and try and do things properly)

 

The General of Greed cringed as the shadowy tendrils wrapped tightly around him. Through the pain however, he suddenly went completely still, his face curling into a grin as he seemed to sense and remember something.

"Perhaps I underestimated Acheron's heart... So..."

Suddenly his eyes turned a purplish color as he mentally traveled to where the fight occurred. As he expected, Dimitri was still there skulking around. His projection, though invisible, could still be heard as he floated closer to the angry pony and whispered in his ear.

"Dimitri... you know what you need to do... save her, it is what you want and must do... Don't worry about the others, they're holding you back from reuiniting with your love... every minute she grows closer to death... go..."

The projection of the Seneschal then attempted to serve images in Dimitri's head, showing him realistic depictions of Fluttershy's agony and sadness... 

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri still stood staring at the forest angrily. He suddenly felt a great pain in his chest and in his head. A voice rang through his mind and he had no choice but to listen. The voice sounded strangely familiar, but he paid no attention to that. The voice was persuasive, and filled Dimitri's thoughts with images of his beloved in utter agony.

 

He stood completely still and tears began to well in his eyes and run down his face. The voice and images suddenly stopped, but he was still thinking of them. "I...I need to find her now." He spoke outloud to himself. "I can't...I..must go. The others are stopping me. Making me rest, and eat food while awful things are done to her. They want her to die...and if they think that...they're the enemy too.."

 

Dimitri gritted his teeth harder and began to pace around in circles. "No one will stop me. They cannot halter me anymore!" He stopped in his tracks and ran straight into the forest.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco walked out "I'm going to go see about Dimitri fellows alright?" Draco said as he flew towards the cottage. Then noticed Dimitri running towards the Everfree. Draco yelled out "DIMITRI," He landed in front of the stallion looking at him. Something was wrong with him. He would help his friend.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

(Disregard Acheron just lying there bleeding xD)

 

"Don't let him get in your way Dimitri. Remember exactly why you're on this quest, not for him, not for friends, but for your love, Fluttershy. He'll only slow you down and have you wait for morning as Fluttershy slips away... Save her..."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri stopped suddenly as Draco obstructed his path. He was about to flash a hopeful smile, but the voice rang through his mind again. He instead flashed an angry look at him. "Don't stop me. I need to get to her. You and the others are done getting in my way. She is suffering as we do nothing. I AM DONE DOING NOTHING! Get out of the way before I'm forced to make you move."

 

Dimitri's eyes were, once again, beginning to haze over. He kept his gaze fixed on Draco, but seemed to be looking through him as well.

[dragon4111 914]

((Heh sorry but one of the others can deal with Acheron. Not to sound cold))

Draco looked into Dimitri's eyes "Tell me Dimitri are you willing to stake your life on it that you'll be in there and not get lost. If you get lost you'll never see your wife again. I know the way. But think about it it's darker than all hell in there. I swore I would help you find her and you know when an O'Malley swears on his honor he'll do all he can,"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

 

Diamond quickly stood up and followed Draco out of the house. She spread her own wings and took off after him...but she noticed what he didn't. Acheron was down on the road...he didn't seem to be moving. Diamond had slowed down and looked up to see Draco flying off without her.
She let him go and instead flew down next to Acheron. "I'm going to get you back to the house. Okay ?" She said, happy to see that he was still breathing.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Delia got up from drinking and went to check on the others. She saw Diamond take off and land next to a lifeless Acheron. She gathered from the expression on Diamonds face as well as the situation that Acheron was in dire need of help. Delia ran into the kitchen and got some first aid supplies and waited for the two to return.

 

(thank you for ninjaing my Jolteon)

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri looked at Draco. "I'll rip down every tree I come across if I need to. You won't get in the way anymore. All we done is sit around, read and drink. If any of you cared you would have done something better, but you didn't do anything! Who knows what is happening to her! She is suffering, and I am not there! I need to be there! I NEED TO BE THERE! "

 

He was breathing heavily now. The thought of Fluttershy suffering was the only thing he could think of, and it hurt him.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

(I know xD, but still)

 

Again, the voice of the General of Greed spoke, more persuasive this time than ever.

"See, see?! They think you're weak, incapable of protecting yourself and your own wife! Show them you can manage, show your strength! He calls you friend yet he belittles you in his thoughts, like a traitor! You are greater, you need no one for this..."

 

Acheron slightly stirred in his unconsciousness as he felt himself being lifted up. He slightly came to as Delia splashed liquid in his face. Everything was rather hazy, but Acheron was more concerned about the voice he could faintly hear in his head...

"What are you trying to say?" he asked outloud.

[dragon4111 914]

"How do you know she's suffering hmm do you belong to the Seneschals. No you don't my friend. They don't torture their captives trust me on this. The rest for that is because we have a long journey together. I needed to get the clues together. Then we find what my ancestors know about the Seneschal," Draco said. "Now would Fluttershy want you to go off dying for her. Listen to me Dimitri whatever you think I'm doing. I'm not saying your weak your quite stronger then I am," Draco said as he stood his ground" But would Fluttershy abandon her friends?" Draco asked.
