@@Dimitri Hammer,

"I guess i can't understand that. I only witnessed the one i love brutally torn apart by lions while knowing it was my fault." She said with a stern face as the one named Dimitri trotted away. 

 

Delia then witnessed Acheron tackle Draco and disappear. "Maybe they need this to strengthen their loyalty to one another." She said aloud She then trotted over to Diamond's body and laid beside it. "You had a rough time back there.I will keep you company and tend to you." Delia said knowing Diamond wouldn't respond.

"Ha hardly I don't even do that. So don't judge me like you know me Acheron," Draco said as he flew over head then dove towards Acheron sharpening his wings once more as he flew towards that stallion. How dare he try to gain entrance into one of his loved ones mind. "Come on then you arrogant fat dathrsi . You'll feed and feed till the ground is barren. Only to complain then while your meal is interrupted,"

((To you ponies who don't want to be stuck discuss what happened and try to find a way to get past Acheron's barrior))

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Perhaps I know more about you than you'd expect O'Malley."

A haze of darkness rose from Acheron's body as he spoke.

"You abandoned your true loved ones in a fire, left them to die so that you could go on living..."

The haze showed several misty images of that night, as well as the faces of the ponies he had abandoned.

"And ever since then, you've done nothing but seek out where to fill the void. Possessions, liquor, mares... but none of them ever fulfill you do they?"

Acheron then took several quick slashes to his body. It hurt, but he could still fight well.

"Cute Draco. A loved one's mind? Perhaps if you stopped to think before you act and speak, you would have realized I had no intention of harming her!"

Acheron used the haze around him to form several small blades of shadow and launched them at Draco, and then teleported behind him to kick him towards them.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco closed his wings as he dove. He turned in mid air then lashed out at Acheron with his left wing slashing at his chest. "How dare you bring those up. No I haven't done a thing like that. Those were gifts from the ponies I've saved and rewards I've earned for helping out," Draco yelled out.

((stallions what can you do. They some times need a good arse kicking don't they))

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Is that why you help then? For rewards and fame? Don't lie to me!"

Acheron quickly dodged the slice and formed claws from the haze around him. He slashed at Draco several times before he proceeded to trap him. Acheron's heart was filled with rage, but also sadness. This fight and his own words much reminded him of his final confrontation with his traitorous allies. Remembering, he had used similar words: "For rewards and fame? You would dare make a fool of me, using myabilities to gain relics of power which you were and are too weak to find and use. Then you kill me... all for the pleasure of saying you saved countless ponies from the wrath of a n 'evil incarnate'."

Acheron shouted in ire as he formed several more claws of darkness to wound...

 

(And I'm tired now. Night Dragon and you other guys, I'll see you tomorrow!)

[dragon4111 914]

"No I would never for fame nor reward. Ancestors no I do it because it's who I am. I am Draco O'Malley courier and knight of the old code!" Draco yelled out as he  landed onto the ground and looked at Acheron. "I will never kill unless the pony in question deserves to be executed. But no you , you just need an arse kicking," Draco said.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Then take your pitiful pride and throw it out the building, " Acheron said. "A knight should know better than to be so cocky as you are. A knight is temperate, a knight doesn't abandon those he loves."

Acheron used one of the claws to punch Draco in the face.

"Tell me, would you turn traitorous and abandon us if it means saving yourself?"

@@Dimitri Hammer,

 

 

Diamond slowly started coming too...the first thing she saw was Delia, laying right next to her. Diamond groaned and tried to sit up but gasped and fell back. Her whole left side felt achy and stiff. "W-What happened ?" She asked, looking around to see who was there. "D-Dimitri...where's Draco and A-Achero-" She stopped speaking...she could barely remember anything...but she did remember getting hit by the acid...Draco coming to help...and Acheron...in her mind ? "I had a weird d-dream...Acheron was s-stealing my thoughts." She said, rubbing her head.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@,

"Be still my friend, you need to rest some more." Delia said as she put her hoof around Diamond. "Draco and Acheron are sorting things out between them. We needn't worry about them." Delia said as she stroked Diamonds head a little. "I can not say for certain, but I did hear mention of Acheron doing something like that."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

Diamond's eyes widened. "What ? Why would he do that ?" Her heat was racing. What if he saw something, a bad memory...or a good memory...oh Celestia no. "He...they...where did they go ? Did he see anything. I need to see Draco." She said, attempting to sit up again. This time she managed to sit up but the pain just got worse. 

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@,

Delia threw her arms around Diamond. "Shh,shh,shhh. Be calm my friend. Be calm you mustn't over exert yourself, you need to take it easy for a bit."Delia said as she attempted to sit Diamond down in front of her while holding her. She then dug around in her pack looking for something. "I might have something that will help alleviate your pain." Delia said with a calm tone.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron was starting to feel the pain of the wounds he had received. His face took on a slight smirk as he blasted Draco back with a sharp gale of shadows.

"Hmph..." was all he said as his horn's glow took on a similar, yet dark tainted color of Diamond's aura. He began to use the restoration he had picked up while absorbing the knowledge of her magic.

"It's a shame I can't heal myself fully with this type of magic, but I'll find another way to put it to my own use," Acheron thought as his aura reverted to its dark green color. The pain was slightly lessened and the wounds had stopped bleeding. Acheron knew several other ways to heal himself, but he put those thoughts away for now...

[dragon4111 914]

Draco glared at Acheron and said "I would never abandon some pony else. My parents told me to run," Draco looked at Acheron "I see an insult to Diamond," he thought as he felt his own wounds starting to hurt. He walked towards Acheron "So one traumatic event caused you to close your very heart hmm and just to seek knowledge. In the end does knowledge give you companionship. Do they give you love, Do they give you the need to protect them and they you?" Draco asked as he sliced through the shadows.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron chuckled at Draco's words. The scenes within the haze shifted to show the events related to that memory Draco was recalling.

"Is that so? That isn't what I see from my time in your head, from what you willingly gave up. No one told you to run, you ran on your own behalf! And it is why you feel and are guilty of betrayal and abandonment. "

Acheron quickly shifted the shadows into one giant claw and trapped Draco within its grasp. Its grip tightened as the sharp nails began to pierce into his flesh and drain his innate magic.

Acheron growled as he heard Draco's words and pulled the shadow grasp closer to himself.

"SHUT UP! You know nothing of what happened on that day. I trusted them with everything, but in the end I was nothing to them, and to one particular mare I once held dear. My knowledge and power shields me from such foolery now, and it protects me from ever becoming weak agaiin!"

Acheron thought back to that day when they had all simultaneously partaken in betraying him. He remembered how he had scarcely survived and how weak and heartbroken he felt. Only by Providence was he able to survive the suffering that followed, and then he remembered his growing ambition for knowledge and power. Absorbing the tomes of knowledge, summoning and murdering demons of all sorts until the day he finally killed his traitors.

"They pulled out my heart, so I pulled out theirs and the ones of every subject that believed their false claim of gods..."

[dragon4111 914]

"In the end you became them a monster," Draco said as he looked at Acheron "Tell me is it worth it then if you have all the knowledge in the world what then hmm? After all you'll be alone. But maybe I'm going in the wrong direction with this. You're afraid to let any pony in," Draco said as he felt the drain. "Oh no you don't," Draco said as he cut the shadows around him. He flew into the air and looked down on Acheron "You know nothing abut me Acheron," 

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

Diamond reluctantly lay back down. "What did he do Delia ? Acheron did something...I said it was a dream but you said it was real...what happened ?" She asked.
If he had entered her mind...she was going to beat him black and blue...which was something she rarely did.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron formed wings of shadow to lift himself up to where Draco was.

"And you know little about me," Acheron retorted angrily. "Perhaps though I misjudged what happened that night, you were telling the truth it seems. But I now see so much more from you," Acheron said as his horn seemed to take on the effect of Knowledge Drain without actually extending the draining tendrils.

"You feel as I did, weak and worthless at the betrayal of someone close. Your marefriend grew to hate you and left you as food for a monster. Your fate may have not been as drastic as mine, but it had similar effects. However your problem isn't treachery or arrogance, it is self piety. That is why you hate me for what I do, simply because you believe yourself and your methods purer than mine. It is also self pity, the reason why you try to fill the gaping void in your heart through unfulfilling ways of seduction and possessions, by acting like the strong one yet meek one in the face of other's to garner their affections..."

[dragon4111 914]

"How little you know. She left me because she was using me. So she asked me to the Everfree to kill me," Draco said as he looked at Acheron with the fires of determination in his eyes. "I barely survived that encounter. No I don't use seduction and possessions to fill a void. No no I don't do that friend. But in the end there is a void there. I choose to walk this path,"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"In essence, the same thing I said. She never cared, and thus hated you and set you up!"

Acheron's eyes also burned, somewhat literally as his darkness flickered orange in their reflection.

"Enough of your lies you self-pious imbecile! The mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart, and that is all you have ever shown. Claim it as nothing more than an act, but there is still some semblance to your true self underneath! I grow weary of this pathetic battle, make your move then O'Malley...."

Acheron began to notice an awkward feeling in his self. He had felt it early on in the fight, and now it seemed only to strengthen as time went on. A type of connection between the two, seemingly trying to show their differences yet much alike similarities.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@,

Delia sighed as she didn't know how to put it delicately. "Judging from Draco's reaction, Im guessing he did. I know Draco seems...rude, but he is very chivalrous when it comes to his lady friends." Delia sad with a smile. "Thats probably one of the reasons Draco and Acheron are fighting. Though i wish they would stop." Delia then patted Diamond on the back.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

Diamond sighed. "Damn it. We need to keep moving. And Draco shouldn't be the one to kick his flank, I should." She grumbled.

She felt the pain slowly subside and attempted to open her wing...which just brought the pain back again. "This is just perfect." She muttered.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@,

"I know i can not understand what you are feeling, but i can offer you my shoulder to lean on." Delia said as she looked at Diamonds wings. "i can try to help you with any pain you are in, if you permit me to do so." She then stuck her hoof in her pack in hopes Diamond would say yes. 

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

((Acheron and Draco are somewhere else now are they not ?))

 

Diamond sighed and nodded at Delia. She still looked quite flustered but knew there was nothing she could do until Draco and Acheron sorted things out. "That would be nice, thank you Delia." She said. "Where did Draco and Acheron go exactly ?" She asked.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@,

Delia opened a smaller bag inside and got out a gel-like substance. "I know this may seem weird but i need you to lie flat while i rub this on you." She said. "As for those two, Acheron tackled Draco then disappeared into thin air. I'm guessing he used magic to teleport both of them to celestia knows where." Delia then lathered the gel-like substance in her hooves.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

Diamond nodded and did her best to hold still. She couldn't help but feel like she was going to enjoy this...a little more than most would. "So...um...Draco...and Acheron. They left rather angry at each other I am assuming...this is dreadful. Sure, I want to break Acheron's nose, and I will no doubt about it. But those three mares...this is just what they wanted, they wanted to make us turn on each other...this is just a big mess that needs to be sorted out...after I break Acheron's nose." She said.
Diamond wasn't a violent mare...but if Somepony went into her mind and had the chance to see her memories...they deserved a good hoof to the back.
Even if Acheron didn't see any of her memories...the fact that he had invaded her mind without permission was wrong...very very wrong.
