Delia got a little closer to the two but was starting to feel disdain towards the group. However she kept it to herself and tried to comfort Draco.

"Draco, you need to soldier on. If not for your family then do it for the mission...for the group." Delia said.

[dragon4111 914]

"And what not for you and Diamond Delia. Oh be still my wounded heart," Draco said with abit of sarcasm. "Anyhow I feel that this storm will be over in an hour. Remember I'm a pegasus. Anyhow I understand where your coming from Acheron but I'm just saying I just lost the last link to my family. Tell me every pony what does this line represent to you from Loveless," he said then recited a line from Loveless that described him and Dimitri perfectly.

"My friend, the fates are cruel
 There are no dreams, no honor remains
 The arrow has left, the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
 Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
 In my own salvation
 And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
 Of sacrifice at world's end
 The wind sails over the water's surface
 Quietly, but surely"

"Tell me my friends what do you think it means this part of the poem. Me I think it fits Dimitri and I well don't you?"

"I figured you weren't just lugging around and reciting poetry to try and imitate Shakespeare," Acheron responded as he listened to Draco. "From what I'm hearing and have been thinking over, this poem of yours does indeed describe members of this journey to save the Six. All of us, though some sections mean more to a certain individual than it would another. Diamond, a healer, now you and Dimitri. What of the other poems? Could they all bear strong significance to this?"

[dragon4111 914]

"I can recite it all from memory if you'd like," Draco said as he looked at the ponies. "Well here is the full poem.

Prologue (Poem)
 When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
 The goddess descends from the sky
 Wings of light and dark spread afar
 She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

 

Act I (Poem)
 Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
 We seek it thus, and take to the sky
 Ripples form on the water's surface
 The wandering soul knows no rest.

 

Act II (Poem)
 There is no hate, only joy
 For you are beloved by the goddess
 Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
 Pride is lost
 Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

 

Act III (Poem)
 My friend, do you fly away now?
 To a world that abhors you and I?
 All that awaits you is a somber morrow
 No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
 Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
 Nothing shall forestall my return

 

Act IV (Poem)
 My friend, the fates are cruel
 There are no dreams, no honor remains
 The arrow has left, the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
 Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
 In my own salvation
 And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
 Of sacrifice at world's end
 The wind sails over the water's surface
 Quietly, but surely

 

Act V (Poem)
 Even if the morrow is barren of promises
 Nothing shall forestall my return
 To become the dew that quenches the land
 To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
 I offer thee this silent sacrifice,"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I think I may know who each part points towards specifically," Acheron said as he looked outside the transparent barrier. "But perhaps I'll need some more time to look into things. Tell me, how is the weather looking now, Draco?"

Acheron paced around as he waited. Now he was certain that this group was destined for this one way or another...

[dragon4111 914]

"Much better we still need the goggles though. Just hope we find this next clue though and I have a bad feeling about what is coming though," Draco said as he stood up. He felt the wind blow across "Now it's safe to move around outside. I'm fine you two thank you mia amours,"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"I don't know how much longer I can hold out..." Dimitri whispered to himself as he paced around the room. 'I know that it's not right to be mad at my friends, but being mad at myself is perfectly fine...I'm such an idiot..." he rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Is this storm still occuring?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Draco said that its manageable," Acheron told Dimitri. "However we still need to wear our protective goggles since the sands and wind are still quite bothersome."

Acheron recreated the mage armor he casted earlier and then dispelled the barrier. Some sand got in, but it was nothing compared to the huge force of the sandstorm at its fullest.

"Either way, now that we're at this town, I've a feeling finding the next artifact will be easy to track."

Acheron headed out.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri nodded at Acheron. "I'll get my head together then...feel like I going crazy. The more we make progress, the more sane I stay," He feigned a laugh. He knew that he was starting to stray mentally again. If they didn't get going soon he was sure he'd give in to his darker side. It was sounding more reasonable by the minute. It did help him once before, he found her with the power. It was just too evil for him...

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron looked around at the town as he led the group where he had felt the artifact's energy to be the strongest. It was a ghost town. Every building was abandoned almost all of them seemed to be extremely worn down by time and the elements. Of course there were some disturbed areas, most likely by lost creatures and animals roaming around and then groups of the renegade alchemists. Acheron then stopped.

"I think this is the place..."

[dragon4111 914]

Draco's ears perked up slightly."shh I hear something," He closed his eyes as he walked. "Light hoofs beats. a pattern of which I'm familiar with. a zebra tribe. Delia's tribe. But why are they here," Draco thought to himself looking around.  It was a hunting party or scouts. The stormed leveled down now as Draco took his goggles off slowly. "Look out," Draco said as he quickly redirected a spear that was thrown at Acheron. into the ground next to him. "Come out leader of the Heshema tribe,"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron narrowed his eyes as he focused on the area where the spear had come from. He formed two shadowy blades as he stood in a combat stance.

"Why does everything seem to be trying to kill me out here? Nile Tribe? Wow, that makes two groups from Egypt that want me dead. Is this also about that Apophis matter?!"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"Something to kill? Finally, maybe crushing bone will clear my head." Dimitri somewhat jokingly said. He didn't understand other cultures. He didn't even understand the culture of Equestria still, but he didn't care. He just felt like a fight would probably feel good. His judgement was off, and anyone would do. Just needed a skull to obliterate under his hoof.

"Shut it Acheron and Dimitri I didn't notice the design but now I do. I'll handle this myself," Draco said with a snap. "It's the Heshema tribe. I have dealing with them but why are they here," Draco said as he redirected another spear that was aimed at him into the ground next to him. He then spoke in the zebra tongue "Come on out Leader of the Heshema tribe!," Draco yelled out.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

((I have no idea what's going on))


Diamond quietly followed behind the group to the Zebra tribe but just stayed quiet. She stood behind Dimitri and watch Draco walk out to talk to the tribe.
She sighed. She just wanted to get this over with...this tribe was probably going to cause even more trouble.

"This land is going to be ours brothers and sisters! Get out of our way or face the wrath of the Hashema tribe! Oh Delia and Draco... didn't expect to see you here." He said as gave the signal to the rest to hold off.

 

Delia looked at her father with happiness.

"Father! I have much to share with you!" 

What is he doing here? why does he attack the ponies i'm with? Why is he trying to claim land? Thoughts ran through her mind but couldn't care at all. She was just glad to see her tribe as well as her father.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco held out his wing shaking his head "Why are you here?" Draco asked in zebracan. He was on edge something doesn't feel right about this situation. something like wisps of smoke no magical energy drifting from the tribe leader. He sighed almost recognizing the energy as one of the generals.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Get back here with us, quick," Acheron told Draco through the mental link. Acheron didn't notice it at first, but when Draco had felt uneasy all of a sudden, that's when the signs began to catch on.

"Care to explain why you threw a spear at me?"

 

(Wait so what exactly is going on now?)

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond slowly stepped out from behind the building. Half of her body was still hidden by the small building but she could see what was going on...sadly she couldn't understand anything. Which she found rather annoying. She looked the leader up and down and frowned slightly...he seemed like a grumpy kinda pony..er...zebra.

"As i said, I am here to expand the tribes influence. I am taking this land and any other land i want. Now do not hinder me Draco" The leader said with a stern face. He then turned his attention towards the other pony.

 

@,

 "I didn't throw the spear at you. one of my brothers must have. Also, you should be honored that a spear from our tribe almost hit you."

 

Delia was confused by her father's attitude towards the group.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco stepped forward and softly said "Forgive me for what I'm about to do Delia," Draco cleared his throat and stood tall. "I Draco O'Malley of the O'Malley clan challenge you Leader of the Heshema tribe to Nex Sacramentum as is my right as the last scion of the O'Malley family. Do you accept my challenge?" Draco said as he looked into Delia's father's eyes. The earth rumbled at the declaration of an ancient rite of combat between two and only two. "No pony else interferes this will be my fight,"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond...still had no idea what was going on. They were all speaking in zebracan...and it was starting to get on her nerves. "Forgive my...little interruption. But would somepony mind explaining what we are talking about ? I feel its important and if it is...I would like to know." She said, stepping out from behind the building all the way.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco looked to Diamond and said in the pony tongue "He's being influenced by Greed. I'm challenging him to Nex Sacramentum the death oath. He and I have to fight to the death," Draco said as he sighed "I don't want to do this Diamond but he is forcing my hoof on this matter. Delia I know you'll hate me for this but this is the only way and I've already declared the right he has to accept,"

((I must sleep))

Diamond facehoofed. "Draco. Not everything can be solved by fighting. Ugh. Colts and their violence. Um...excuse me...Mister zebra tribe leader." She said, stepping up in front of Draco. "Perhaps we could settle this...the proper way ? Can we just talk ? I still have no idea what you two were talking about so this could be a terrible idea...but...can we try settling this over a cup of tea maybe ? Why fight when there are so many other options...r-right ?"

[dragon4111 914]

"Diamond he cannot understand you. And he is under Greed's influence which drives him to madness. I have to do this Diamond please just trust me on this," Draco said gently to her. He sighed then looked at Delia's father and said in zebracan "What is your answer?"
