"Yeah let's go find shelter now," Draco said after the battle as he walked to an empty building worrying. Making sure the others followed him he shook his wings clean of all the sand in them. He pulled from his bag a radio which he could hold onto. he turned it on. First it was just mostly songs. That wasn't what he was looking for.

(Err some pony please be the news caster or do I need to do it,)

Delia walked in behind Draco and sat close next to him. She then stretched her hind legs out as she listened to the radio.

 

"Breaking news from Ponyville.Moments ago a stray magical bolt made its way into the town. It hit a nearby house, killing the occupants inside. The bodies have been identified as Sarah O'hare, Connor O'hare, and Sirus O'hare."

[dragon4111 914]

"No, no, no, no, no Please not,"  Draco muttered as tears began to stream down his face. He was alone so very alone now. No they were innocents. Why should the fires of my sins be brought onto them," he muttered as he looked at his whooves with tears streaming down his face.

Diamond walked into the house just a few moments later...to find Draco crying on the ground. She gave him a very worried look and moved closer. "Draco ? Are...are you okay ?" She asked, gently putting a hoof on his shoulder as she looked up at Delia...hoping for an explanation.

 

((Sorry...I have been kinda busy and I don't really have any idea what's going on...))

(the fight ended one of the shades sent a magical bolt to pony ville killing the rest of Draco's family))

"Aye it's such a shame isn't it tom I mean a mare, colt and a stallion dead. From what I heard they were killed in a magical explosion. it's a tragic day. If any pony of those ponies we send you our deepest condolences," said the second news caster.

Draco looked like he was starting to get more fragile. His eyes seemed dead now like something had died inside of him. He felt so alone.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron couldn't do anything but look on with his usual cold eyes. Despite his seeming emotionless state, he still felt bad inside, and it was not because of his link with Draco. He didn't know what to say...

"Use it," Acheron said finally. "Use your sorrow and anger to propel you forward. Now you have all the more cause to finish this quest..."

[dragon4111 914]

One of the outcasts was walking by and spotted the group "Well, well, well looky here boys two mares and they look like virgins to me. I say we have out fun then sell the...," the outcast leader was interrupted with Draco's sharpened wing going through his skull. He had a mad glint to his silver dead eyes. He began to laugh maddeningly as he slaughter the outcasts. they stabbed him aye but he didn't feel it. He just slaughtered them. He wanted to die.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron grunted angrily as he saw the bloodshed unfold before him. With Draco in this state, Acheron knew things would not be going smoothly unless somehing was done quickly.

"Enough..."

Acheron's body let out a burst of darkness, immobilizing the outcasts for a short time so that Acheron could finish them off easier. One of the leaders he left alive, and soon enough he stabbed through his skull with his Drain Tendrils to absorb the knowledge of alchemy he had. He turned to face Draco, levitating a small dart of weakening...

"Enough Draco, pull yourself together!"

Diamond grabbed onto Draco's tail, pulling him close. "Draco get a grip. We're still here. We need you Equestria needs you Draco. You need to help us save this world, and the elements of harmony." She said, pulling him into a hug. "Dimitri needs you, Acheron needs you...I need you...Delia needs you. You cant do this to yourself Draco...you ca-" "Daaaw poor wittle itty bitty Dwaco misses his famiwy...because they're all dead...They're dead." "They're dead." "They're dead." The envy sister's sung, dancing around outside the house as the sandstorm began to over take them.

[dragon4111 914]

"Come out Envy sisters so that I can slice out your ovaries and strangle you with them," Draco said with madness in his voice. He felt someone close to him. Even through his madness he felt a hug some pony was hugging him. who, who was hugging him. He had killed those outcasts in a blind rampage. But here somepony was hugging him telling him they needed him.

"Maybe later...""We've told you you need some more experience..." "What's the fun in fighting you if we will kill you right away. Until then...enjoy the storm." There was a loud pop and the three mare's disappeared.
Diamond ignored them and kept holding onto Draco...tightly. "Draco. Please."

 

 

((I don't plan on bringing those three in until the group fights a different Seneschal...hope that's okay.))

"Draco, i know what its like to lose family but you must calm yourself!" Delia said as she came closer to Draco. She was hesitant to touch him, fearing his anger might get the best of him. She went in and put her hoof on his back to try and comfort him. 

Please be calmed Draco, save your energy for the enemies. she thought

[dragon4111 914]

"Why, why do you hold me?" Draco asked as he felt the one hugging him tighter. Will he be able to protect this one unlike his family. That was his sin. He felt another hugged him. Draco began to breath normally and said "I'm sory, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect them," Draco started to cry. he looked down noticing the two mares.

((heh a cool down hug eh  ~Flame Dancer~ and Auron))

 

 

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron looked nervously at the approaching sandstorm, and then to other areas to look for any other hiding spots. There were none.

"There's no where we can go now...."

Still, Acheron thought of something to protect them further. He sealed off the doors and windows with his magic, providing a barrier sturdy enough to keep the brunt of storm away. He also reinforced the walls and ceiling.

"I'll hold this for as long as I can..."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri sighed. He felt awful for his long-time friend Draco, yet his mind was staring to trail again. He was feeling tremendously bad. He thought of Draco's family, and then his own family. How quickly things can go from good to bad to worse. Tears welled in his eyes and he stood near Acheron to help him in case anything happened. "See how quickly life can be taken? We have experienced something like this years back too. We were too young and weak to stop it from happening. You need to be stronger. Just accept what you have inside you. It was a gift bestowed upon you. The power needed to use this is so immense only you have enough strength." The voice in the back of Dimitri's mind quietly whispered to him and then receded.

 

Dimitri blinked his eyes and looked at his allies. "I'm too weak..." He said aloud. His voice teaming with tension and sadness.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron exhaled sharply, turning to face the ponies as he let the barrier self-sustain itself in a weaker yet durable version of itself. Seeing the others in their state made a load of feeling surge in him. Sadness, pity, but also anger and frustration.

"Shut up," he said. "Shut up, and stop allowing all the negativity you are keeping down inside take over your minds at the turn of every single set back we face. Yes, they're dead, yes Fluttershy is missing, and yes we might never return from this journey. But for the love of Equestria, stop letting the circumstances get the better of you! It's tearing the morale of this team apart, and unless you learn to control yourselves, hopelessness and despair, the very things this enemy is trying to breed in us, will consume us entirely. Use your rage to your advantage, use it to propel yourself forward until this task, now made all the more personal, is finished."

 

 

(In the memorable words of Flame Dancer: Hooray, crappy speech will probably fail!)

[dragon4111 914]

Draco said slightly "I mean no offence when I say this but. Says the one who takes knowledge. I just lost the rest of my family. I swore to the foal I would come back. Tell me what do you do when you swear an oath. To an O'Malley a oath is binding quite binding. Tell me Acheron if you were in my spot would you care if what remained of your family died. Knowing your the last of the O'Malley family,"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Yes, oaths are indeed binding. However, this tragic incident was and is out of your control. You are not to blame for your inability to fulfill your promise. If the rest of my family died like yours, I would most likely feel utter sadness. But would I descend into sheer hopelessness and self-pity? No. Use your rage to your advantage. However..."

Acheron spawned a black book.

"There are ways of forcibly turning fates like these..."

[dragon4111 914]

Draco held his wing to Acheron's throat his eyes glaring "No necromancy nothing. Let them rest in peace. This as the leader of this band command you," he said as he withdrew his wing. "Let me grieve for abit longer. When this is done maybe I don't know maybe I'll move somewhere else,"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Exactly," Acheron said sternly while still keeping his cold eyes locked onto Draco's. "Let them and this rest in peace. Grieve if you must, but never let the dreadful feeling overtake your being. Use it..."

Acheron made the book banish as he sat down to watch the others.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond watched Draco place his wing at Acheron's throat and didn't speak...she could care less about Acheron...but she did care about the group. "Draco...please." She said, putting a hoof on his shoulder.

The sandstorm outside had overtaken them and was progressively getting darker and darker.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"Rage consumes the mind..." Dimitri quietly said to Acheron. "No magic can contain the pure emotion of anger. Is something you can't play with. I know you have a..lust...for knowledge and you know some dark magics, but you don't know rage. Sure it helps to acomplish our goal, but at what cost? Losing our minds? You can't contain rage like that. Is an unstable emotion. I've succumbed to it before...." Dimitri looked at the ceiling.

 

"You can't force it to serve you. I don't tap into my magic because a part of me wants to become corrupted by it. I want the power. I want to be able to destroy and obliterate all that opposes me. I want to burn everything that threatens my motives, but the real me doesn't want that. Rage consumes the mind." He said trembling. "Is that what you really think of us? I'm just a aid to you. I have helped you find her before. You were just too weak to let your real thoughts emerge. I'm not evil. I'm just a means to an end...She'll suffer because you're too weak." The voice came up in Dimitri's mind again.

 

He shook his head and put his hooves to his ears. "No, no, no..." He said aloud to himself. The room got darker.

Draco sighed as he began to stand up "Acheron reinforce the barrier. Dimitri find afew pieces of metal bar the windows with it. Diamond and Delia please just hold me abit longer," Draco whispered the last part. He laid back down in the house. His eyes though seemed dead still.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"And that is why you use it carefully. Learn how and when to apply it effectively. Know you the story of a... creature who lost his entire race to another. This being was so filled with rage, that it was able to create a means to power filled by pure, endless rage. Many of those who chose this power lost their rationality because their cause was weak, but this atrocious creator of the rage energy did not because he had afully resolved and set goal he wanted to accomplish. Although yes, I understand what you mean of how using this rage is consuming... even this atrocity claimed that his heart were spoiled though he knew what his mission was... however, there are way of releasing it in... more dilute ways...."

Diamond lay down behind him and wrapped both her fore legs and wings around him, pulling him into a tight embrace. "You're not alone Draco. I am the last in my family as well.
