Delia wasn't sure how to take the news Acheron delivered. For now she put th fact her father abused her in the back of her head. She approached Acheron, Dimitri and Draco hugging them all.

"I know we haven't been the best of allies, and even if you didn't do what you did for me...I am still grateful. It was a nice thing you did." She felt like hugging them sullied the moment.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron eyes widened slightly as Delia gave a hug even to him. After all the uncomfortability that had spawned between the group on account of his behavior and cold demeanor, it was quite the surprise.

"No, of course," Acheron said, returning the hug. "I can be willing to help in a time of need, even if things have never been quite amiable between us..."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond sighed and backed away from Delia. This was too crazy. *This group really needs to figure its shit out.* She thought, sitting down in the corner of the tent.
If it were up to her...they would have moved on. The mare's in the tribe had managed to survive this long. There were more important things...they could fix this on the way back to Appleloosa since right now there was a chance some messed up cult could be about to kill the elements of harmony.
But...she just kept to herself.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri didn't react immediately after Delia hugged him. He wasn't expecting that, and his eyes teared up a little bit actually. "No worries..." He said to Delia as he returned the gesture, yet he couldn't speak in that moment very well. He was thinking about his wife; the only mare who ever really hugged him. Thoughts of his love in pain plauged his mind still, and he couldn't just calm down. "This moment is nice, but we need to press on...please we really need to press onwards...I can't take the waiting any longer. She needs me, I not know what is happening to her or where she is. I need her..."

 

"She is in pain. You need to go right now. Go and find her. The pain you are in is excruciating, yes?" the voice whispered in Dimitri's mind. "We need to get going...please.." Dimitri said through shambled breaths as he wiped his eyes. He was starting to feel useless towards her. The pain in his heart was increasing by the minute. He loved her with such great intensity, and knowing she was scared hurt Dimitri.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron nodded in response to Dimitri's troubled words. He was right, they had lingered much too long in the village, and time wasn't going to be slowing down for them.

"Yes, his right. I believe we can settle leadership of the tribe later. Until then," Acheron began to say as he lifted Olan up before them. The shackles around him tightened and a sharp cage of darkness shot up from the ground, imprisoning him fully. Acheron then turned to the Shaman. "You and another zebra of your choosing are in charge until our return."

Acheron then grabbed hold of one of the ornaments around Olan's neck and ripped it off. A purple tether connected itself to it until it was darkened into a dark purple color.

"Keep this ornament safe, it is what shall keep the cage and shackles strong and active. If this goes, so do the bonds."

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Even though Delia loved spending time with her tribe,she knew they had a mission to complete.

"So where are we off to next?" She asked. Delia still had a headache so she dunked her head in her mother's cauldron and swallowed some potion.

 

@,

The Shaman smiled as she watched Acheron.

"It seems Olan was wrong about your kind." She said as she got a staff with feathers and beads on the top.

"I offer you all my blessings. May the spirits watch over you and guide you in your efforts." The shaman said. 

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Thank you," Acheron told the Shaman with a bow. Acheron then turned to the group. "Well, first we unlock the seneschal relic. Diamond, it seems your type of magic is necessary for unsealing it. Do this, and we will have our next lead."

Acheron levitated the protected artifact and placed it before Diamond's hooves.

Draco smiled as he felt Delia hug him. "It's late let's get some sleep we have much to do right now," Draco said as he waited for his chance to leave during the night. He needed to be alone. He wanted to be alone at least for now. Maybe he should just leave this group.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"We have rested and stayed still for much too long already, Draco," Acheron said sternly. They had probably already wasted two days in the village. At least one good thing came out of it, and that was a strengthening of the groups camaraderie. And also the incarceration of a tyrant.

"We move now!"

[dragon4111 914]

"Fine, fine let's go sheesh," Draco said as he got up slowly. he walked outside and flew off to Celestia knows where so that he can think. What his next mve would be. "Tch some code of conduct it is sheesh," Draco muttered to himself as he landed on a cloud nearby.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Delia looked at Draco then at Acheron.

"What's wrong with him? He appears to be very melancholy...more than usual." Delia said sensing she missed more than what she did.

See, didn't i say this group was weak...especially the leader. Delia froze for a second as she heard a familiar voice in her head. 

No, it isnt possible. She thought as she walked outside trying to locate Draco.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"It seems that way," Acheron said back as he walked with Delia and the others. He attempted to locate the pegasus through the empathy link they shared, and after a few minutes of following the shivers, Acheron neared the cloud where Draco was resting on.

"Draco, it's time to go. We can't afford anymore delays, and lying on a cloud isn't helping our cause."

[dragon4111 914]

"You ponies go on ahead alright you should know where the next one is by now. I'm just going to think for abit alright. Look I'm having serious doubts here so why don't you lead Acheron for abit alright," Draco said as he sank into the loud. He sighed as he wanted to go home.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron made a sound of surprise as he listened to Draco.

"Are you saying you're dropping out? What happened to that noble, virtuous code of knights that you supposedly abide by?"

Acheron pulled Draco down using his magic.

"Speak. What is wrong with you?"

[dragon4111 914]

"The old code has died. I was a fool for following it," Draco spat out as he looked at Acheron. "Where has it gotten us hmm? too many detours. Maybe I shouldn't care about the old code any more. It's been dead for 100 years. The currents guards are nothing more the rapists who take advantage of their station just because their  fucking nobles,"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I have studied your code of conduct Draco, and while the vast majority of traditions it holds are now outdated, the concepts it holds are still ones worthy of abiding by, at least when times are as great as these."

Acheron huffed in frustration. Why was Draco acting like this in the first place? Was he tired, was the loss of his family finally getting to him? Or was it simply because he had yet to produce any relationship between the mares?

"If your reason for acting like this is simply because you can't bed either Diamond or Delia, then you are an idiot."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri started to walk off slowly by himself in a random direction. He kept looking at the horizon, then the sky, and he kept rubbing his eyes. "She will lose her love for you, if you don't save her....you can't be useless now...she Needs you. You need to abandon the others and go already." the voice sternly retorted. "I need the others in order to find where she is......I....she will not lose faith in me. I promised her I would never let anything happen to her....I swore by my life that I would keep her safe. No matter what happens to me..." Dimitri whispered to himself.

 

"But you don't need the others! You and you alone can save her and the others too. The others have different motives...greedy motives...they are using this to make themselves look good, and are doing this for personal gain. They don't care about Fluttershy. You have the strength and the anger to do this yourself. You could kill them all if you wanted to..." The voice yelled in Dimitri's mind.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

As Delia approached Acheron and Draco she saw the way Draco was acting. She shook her head and sat down far away, but close enough to see and hear the two. Delia couldn't help but to wear a disgusted look on her face.

Draco, you better get it together...or I might lose all respect for you. She thought.

It's for the best if you do, Delia. What has he done to prove he's worthy of your love?

[dragon4111 914]

"No if you think that than your an idiot. I've lost my whole family just today. And for what hmm? just because some pony messed with those spirits?" Draco looked at Acheron. "Believe me on this Acheron. I'm doing what I can maybe it's not good enough," he said as he spotted Delia.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond shakily pushed herself up onto her hooves then followed the group out of the tent.

She winced slightly but managed to keep up.

 

 

((So, due to some things going on in my life. I wont be able to focus as much of my time on RPing as I used to. So forgive me if I miss stuff or if I ask for someone to fill me in...this is going to be happening allot for the next little while. And then there is the thing starting the 27th...))

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"And therefore you lose all hope and dare to abandon your mission? Pathetic, as sad as that which happened may be. The Six are in peril, and you dare to even think like this?!"

Acheron shook his head in disappointment and then looked Draco in the eyes.

"We can't afford any more delays..."

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@@dragon4111,

Delia caught herself in an eye-to-eye glance with Draco. She slowly puckered her lips and teasingly gave him an air kiss. She was starting to get annoyed at Draco. If she had wings she would fly up to him and smack his head for acting so melancholy.

All i know is that he better snap out of his funk. Delia thought as the intrusive Pride chimed in.

Maybe its because you won't share a 'special moment' like you did with Diamond. Or it could be that he is jealous of your dead husband.

"Shut up!" Delia yelled out loud.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

(Alright, here goes)

Acheron walked away from Draco, muttering a few curses as he did so. He turned to face the group.

"You want to leave O'Malley? Fine, no one is stopping you, and we cannot afford to be slowed down anynore. I'm sorry Draco... but..."

Acheron drew a line in the ground with magic.

"Anyone wishing to comolete this journey and saving the six, follow me, I will lead the rest of the way. Those who wish to give up their efforts, stay over there..."

[dragon4111 914]

"I'll catch up once I get some rest okay Delia," Draco said as he looked at Delia with gentle eyes. "I'll get back to them when I feel like I'm up to the task. Of course will I ever be up to the task. Have I been so useless," Draco thought to himself as he laid on his cloud. He was looking at the sky with guilt eating at him.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri heard Acheron after he started to walk back after he was done having his inner conflict. He stared at Draco who was up in the clouds, literally and metaphorically. "I...I can not be slowed down anymore. If I lose Fluttershy, I lose my reason to live. I vowed that I would protect her from any harm. I would die for her. I love her more than words can even begin to describe, and I feel a strong connection to her. When she is in pain, I hurt worse because I hate when she is sad or hurt. I am sorry, but I will not be stopped. No matter what happens, nothing will stop me from seeing my love again." Dimitri said as he approached Acheron.

 

"I am with Acheron. I not care who leads this group. I will do this myself if I have to....but I am going to save my wife. I am saving her." He stepped over near Acheron, and looked him in the eyes. "I am with you, but no matter what happens I am saving her. You are a good friend, but if you start to become like Draco....become insatiable...I will leave you too....I am sorry, but I need to save my wife...no matter what happens to me."
