[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

((So...ignore my last post))

Diamond was walking up the stairs towards her room when she heard Delia and...who sounded like Acheron downstairs. She raced back down to see Acheron laying on the ground...slightly wet and Delia drinking something from a whisky bottle. "Oh dear...Acheron...can you tell me what happened ?" She asked, leaning down to help him up onto a chair.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

The voice pressed on even more, its owner's desire to turn the two friends against each other growing stronger the more Draco spoke.

"Don't listen to him, he seeks only to hinder you further. You cannot trust him anymore, he doesn't even know his own history, or anything of the Cult! It is why he's made you waste all this time, because he was searching for things he should have already been prepared for as a leader! Remember your own goal, and let him hinder you no longer..."

 

(But I already referred to it D:)

Acheron was finally coming around, but he was still weak and exhausted.

"..."

He seemed to become more spaced out even though he was awake, and it seemed as if he was intently listening to something. After moments he spoke again, but more hurried.

"The Seneschal's body, where is it?!"

Dimitri gave a quizzical look. He shook his head and spoke again. "How do you know they don't?! I've seen it before me. I heard her cries, and I felt her sadness. I will not die, I will not be stopped. Anyone that gets in my way will die. Is it abandonment if my so-called friends never comforted me or did anything to make it better?! I don't need anyone. I will save her on my own, and you will no longer stop me from doing so!"

 

Dimitri took his shoulder and shoved Draco to the side. He, yet again, began to run towards the tree line.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

The Seneschal's spirit fed more visions and emotions of Fluttershy's pain and sorrow.

"Faster Dimitri! She awaits for you desperately. If this so called friend, Draco O'Malley tries to stop you... put him out of your way, PERMANENTLY!"

 

Acheron struggled to move and get up. 

"Why did you just leave him unsupervised?!"

[dragon4111 914]

"Tell me Dimitri is that greed talking to you. Well then here's something for you my friend," Draco said as he flew next to him "Remember when I brought the hair clip you made for Fluttershy. How I helped you two get married hmm?" Draco asked at the last part. "Remember when I swore I would protect you two even if I have to die well then," Draco stood infront of Dimitri again. "Go on and end it Dimitri end my life I welcome the release," Draco said showing his heart to his friend "Kill me then to show what friendship means to you,"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"He tries to hinder you, the hypocrite. The only reason he ever showed anything towards you was to have something good to show other ponies. Remember how he made you construct his mansion? All to gain your favor, so that he can use you like a slave..."

 

Acheron finally managed to get up, but was wobbly.

"Take me outside... now..."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri slid on the grass as he stopped himself again. He stood and stared at the trees then to Draco. "I...I.." He reared himself back as if to prepare a hit, but instead he backed up slightly. "No...I can't.." He whispered. "I can't do that to you."

 

The voice went through Dimitri's mind again, and he stood blankly staring at his friend in front of him. He put his hooves to his head. "No, no, no, no, no!" Dimitri fell to the ground and began to hastily speak in his native language.

[dragon4111 914]

"Fight him Dimitri you are stronger than he is. Remember these words Dimitri. A stallion chooses ,a slave obeys. Are you a slave Dimitri or are you a free stallion?" Draco asked as he looked at his friend. "You know Dimitri I wasn't lying about death. I welcome it just to be with my family once more," He said as he looked at his friend. "but I won't let my friends go on a suicide mission to throw away their lives,"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri remained on the grass holding his head between his hooves. He whispered the words his father once told him, and tried to think of better things. He didn't hear the voice after a couple minutes, and he picked himself up off the ground. He looked around and stared at Draco. "I'm sorry...I not understand what I was thinking."

 

Dimitri held his hoof on his forehead and took deep breaths. "I'm sorry. She is all I have. I can't focus without her."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

<"Time only forges forward the longer you listen to this fool. She will die if you linger here any longer," the Seneschal said pressingly. He fed more images of sorrow to pressure Dimitri further. "He only wants you here to be able to say he saved the day, a leader in the eyes of he Sisters..">

 

Acheron sighed as he mustered his strength. He weakly stumbled outside, and to his relief, the cultist was still there wrapped in shadow. Acheron noticed however, that he seemed to be in a trance with glowing eyes.

"Diamond, Delia," he called out as best as he could. "Do you see anything off about him? I need to be sure I'm not just imagining things from my fatigue..."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

(Okay...ignore my last post and focus on the post before that...we're still outside.))

 

Diamond picked Acheron up and gently placed him on her back before looking down at the mangled body of the other pony. "Um...who is this ?" She asked, poking whoever it is before glancing back at Acheron...awaiting an answer.

((I gotta go to bed))

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

(Discord is having fun screwing us up xD!)

 

Acheron walked closer to the body of the General of Greed.

"... A Seneschal cultist... do you see anything off about him at all?"

Acheron was thinking of what to do. If the General was doing what he thought he was, then he had to intercept it quickly to avoid something terrible.

Dimitri remained on the grass holding his head between his hooves. He whispered the words his father once told him, and tried to think of better things. He didn't hear the voice after a couple minutes, and he picked himself up off the ground. He looked around and stared at Draco. "I'm sorry...I not understand what I was thinking." Dimitri held his hoof on his forehead and took deep breaths. "I'm sorry. She is all I have. I can't focus without her."

"Then focus on our friendship then. I know you desire her back but we need to think what our moves will be. Because greed is one thing that stems from desire. Focus on my voice then. I'm here and I'll stand by your side my friend. You'll always have a friend in me," Draco said. "I swore I would protect all my friends and you know I keep my promises," Draco said as he sat next to Dimitri.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri broke down onto the ground again. "No, stop it!" The images were becoming too much to handle. He struck himself on the head and focused extremely hard. "Stop it. Why do I keep seeing these horrid illusions!?" The thoughts were disabling, and he didn't know whether to become angry or try and relax.

 

He kept seeing the agony of her, and it hurt him. "It's not true. She's okay, but even the thought of this is crippling." Dimitri stood himself up and looked at Draco. "You need to get me back to the manor now. Something is wrong, and we need to go before I go crazy."

Acheron walked closer to the body of the General of Greed.

"... A Seneschal cultist... do you see anything off about him at all?"

Acheron was thinking of what to do. If the General was doing what he thought he was, then he had to intercept it quickly to avoid something terrible.

 

Diamond stared down at the body. "I don't see anything gross about it no...should I teliport us back to the house ? Including the body or should I leave it here...I know that you need to get healed up right away as soon as possible." She said, hesitantly taking hold of the Seneschal's hoof.

 

((Okay...now I need to go to bed...for reals))

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

-The Seneschal's voice grew louder in Dimitri's mind.

"Follow him back and you lose your chance. See how he corrupts what is good. You desire to do good, but he corrupts it to mean betrayal!"

A horrible image of Fluttershy imploring Dimitri why he chose to delay popped in his mind.-

 

"You go back," Acheron said imperatively, as if he wouldn't take no for an answer. Without waiting, he shifted the shadow tendrils, several of the writhing appendages facing his head. Acheron's horn glowed as they entered his and the Seneschal's minds, tethering them once more...

@,

Delia walked outside and stared at Diamond and Acheron. "Hey over here! I have some supplies that i think might help him" She yelled as she prepared for the worse. She didn't have alot of practice in the medical field but she knew enough to provide a quick fix

[dragon4111 914]

Draco nodded "Are you able to run?" Draco asked as he stood up . "Or do you want me to carry you to the mansion?" Draco asked as he got ready to run with his friend. He rolled his shoulders loosening them up. The time was 6 in the morning He only got a few hours of sleep. "Come on then Dimitri," Draco said starting to run towards the manor.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri nodded at Draco and rubbed his head. He started to run and was trying his best to get back to the manor. The voice was strong yet again, and all Dimitri could see was Fluttershy reprimanding him for not being there. Saying how she was in agony, and came to the realization that Dimitri wasn't coming.

 

He took several stops as he ran back to the manor. Each time he whispered in Sovestrian and smacked himself, while tears kept coming from his eyes. "I not know how much longer I can take this before I snap." He managed to somehow speak under all his pain. His eyes were starting to haze over again.

[dragon4111 914]

"We're here Dimitri," Draco said as they came upon his manor. "Acheron I think greed is inside Dimitri's head. Showing him illusions of what would cause him to snap In this case it would be Fluttershy being tortured," Draco said slightly out of breath. He looked behind him and saw Dimitri still behind hm.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

<The General of Greed spoke in Fluttershy's voice this time.

"You abandoned me! I trusted you to save me! Why did you leave me to suffer Dimitri?!">

 

Acheron was finally completely tethered to the mind of the Seneschal. What he saw in his mind was rather bad.

"I knew it... a darker form of astral projection..."

The spirit of the Seneschal seemed to torment Dimitri with awful thoughts. Acheron prayed Dimitri would hold up, traversing through the Seneschal's mind would be rather dangerous and difficult...

 

(Note that they're mentally and spirituality tehtered by the tendrils at the moment, so he will be unresponsive for now...)

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri heard her voice and immediately fell back. In his mind he saw himself talking to her, but on the outside he seemed to be talking to himself. "No, I didn't! Don't say that please, please don't say that. I'll be there for you. I'm here for you now, just hold on please." He started to openly cry. "Just wait for me. You know that I'll be there. Don't give up."

 

He tried to get back up, but he fell again. The haze was getting thicker around his eyes. "I'll be there. I'll do whatever I need to in order to save you."

[dragon4111 914]

"Here's a trick I learned when someone is invading your mind. Funnel your emotions into them use it to cause them pain," Draco said to Dimitri. He looked into his friends eyes intensely. He sighed as he was slowly looking at the general with a strong glare. "So you want to play on my friends emotions hmm greed?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

-The crying only intensified, until suddenly everything went quiet. The Seneschal's cruel voice rang audibly through the darkness as Acheron's shadowy tethers dispelled and the Seneschal reappeared further away in front of all.

"That was much to easy! I was hoping you would have killed that stupid pony," he sneered, pointing at Draco. "No matter, your despair has given me the strength I needed to heal, and even more so to escape that fool Acheron's shadows! It is time I crush all of you!"

Several mists of darkness blew in from nowhere as they formed into ghostly, demonic apparitions. Their presence seemed to cause a feeling of utter helplessness and weakness.-

 

Acheron cursed as he saw what happened. He was too weak to fight, too weak to use his more stronger magics...

 

(Ok I'm sorry to leave at this point but I really must get some sleep...)

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri was on the ground when the Seneschal appeared in front of his comrades, and himself. His mind was clear of the constant bombardment of agonizing images. He got up and swayed around a little bit. His eyes retained the purple haze. He looked at Acheron, and saw how he was unable to fight.

 

Dimitri stared at the cultist. "Like I said to you before: Mind games are for the weak. You might have sapped energy from my misery, but what you don't realize is that you have brought forth something in me that cannot be taken back." Dimitri's eyes started to glow a light purple. "You'll pay for using Fluttershy like that. You've proven that you are too dangerous too be kept alive. You are too moronic to be taken alive. I'm sure everyone agrees that you are better off dead. SHOWING ME THOSE IMAGES AND MAKING ME HEAR THOSE THINGS WAS THE WORSE POSSIBLE THING YOU COULD HAVE DONE TO YOURSELF."

 

Dimitri dug his right hoof into the ground. The grass began to burn where he struck. He looked at the demonic entities and spoke mockingly. "Now we can have some fun."

 

(I'm tired too...goodnight )
