Acheron looked up towards Dimitri and nodded. The red pony had been the only one whom he had actually been able to speak freely to without any trouble, so he felt somewhat comfortable in telling what was up.

"I'm well I suppose... but...."

Acheron did a slight and quick motion to Zefira.

"I am cruel, and I know that. My nature drives others away, even those who were just trying to be nice to me for a change, even if it was in their own way."

Acheron shook his head, but a few moments later, his expression returned to its former seriousness and stern expression.

"Hmph, what does it matter now? It will just become another wound on my being, and one that I will overcome regardless of the sorrow..."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri took a quick look back at the mare. He nodded in understanding, "I used to push others away. After my parents were murdered I became something I never thought I would become. I got angry.....and depressed....and incredibly violent. I was hunted down as a fugitive since I was around ten years of age. I had to kill to live....I was bitter and distant. I pushed everything away from me. Killed a few innocents....Tried killing myself a few times too." Dimitri sighed and cleared his throat.

 

"Is not my nature, but it became familiar to me. I never thought a killer like me could ever be considered good again. I thought it was my fault the whole country was becoming a dictatorship, my fault hundreds of thousands of unicorns were killed or imprisoned. I thought I killed my family, but when I came to this land everything seem to got worse. I got really sick. The heat was new to me, and I nearly died....but then I saw her. Just from looking at her my heart began to hurt...in good way. I knew she was my soulmate. She nursed me back to health after the residents of Ponyville kicked in my front door.....thought I was a monster." Dimitri chuckled a little bit.

 

"Fluttershy.....the shyest mare in Equestria....stuck up for me. Everypony else thought I was a strange villain, but she thought differently. I met her for first time in a clearing. I collapsed from the heat and thought I was going to die. I was nearly passed out when I saw her. She brought me to her cabin and helped me back to health. When the residents of the town invaded my home she ran in and wrapped her arms around my neck. She told them I was good. I could just tell she was perfect. I not even deserve her. I changed my outlook on life after I found her. Took me long time to ask her on a date. I was so nervous...." Dimitri laughed again.

 

"Sorry for long story! What I am saying is.....your disposition on life can be changed. I thought I would have killed myself already. She changed me. Letting a certain pony into your life can really change you Acheron. She introduced me to her friends after we solved the breaking down my door situation. I love my new friends...and I love her more than anything. Just letting ponies onto your life can be good thing Acheron....."

Delia sniffed the air and let out a deep sigh.

"The air in here does smell quite nice." She said.

The town was a nice change of pace from her tribe and from the wide open spaces.

"Good, i can go for some of this 'Nord Mead' of which you speak.

Zefira could be seen trotting with Diamond. They appeared to be conversing amongst themselves.Zefira was letting out sighs as well as shaking her head.

"Yo Joe I'll have two Nord meads," Draco sat as he sat at the bar with his lady. He smiled with contentment as the bartender named Joe set down to mugs of Nord mead. "Hmm nice," Draco said as he set down 10 Bits. "Let's get to drinking," He said to Delia as he looked outside.

Acheron couldn't help but shed a few tears at Dimitri's story. He knew the red stallion was being honest, embellishing nothing to blow it out of proportions. It was touching, and quite beautiful really. Acheron sighed.

"You are a very blessed stallion, Dimitri. Your story has inspired me to make sure we succeed in rescuing your beloved. As for me..."

Acheron wiped his face and relaxed his muscles, again returning to his usual state of strength and sterness.

"I will see about myself later on," the unicorn said with a smirk. "Don't worry about me, you're the only one here with a true and pure motive, and I aim to help you achieve it. However, thank you Dimitri."

Acheron smiled.

Delia nodded her head. She just wanted to get something in her system.

"I will enjoy this drinking."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Zefira debated with Diamond on whether or not she should give Acheron another chance.

Diamond brought up some good examples as to why she should abandon her pursuit of Acheron. 

"Thats true,but i feel like i can change him...like he isnt that at bad of a stallion." She said to Diamong

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

((I have missed a crap load of stuff...forgive me...))

 

Diamond shrugged. "If you feel like you can change him, then by all mean's, try. I am not going to stop you from doing something you want to do. I just thought I would tell you that...he has been rather cruel." She said, glancing down at her hooves. "Lets get onto a happier topic..."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

As always, Acheron was able to bury his sorrowful feelings back into the depths of his mind. It was something he couldn't explain properly, but doing so, even focusing on the pain sometimes, was able to give him some sort of indirect fuel to his nature.

"My heart is hard Dimitri. I have grown used to it, enough of where it is to the point where I feel I can grasp it and use it to endure the pain. But no matter, perhaps one day I can become blessed like you are, but until then..."

Acheron stopped and looked at his surroundings. They had already left much of the desert behind them, and now the air was hot and steamy. They were in a marsh of some type, and it was home to many lurking creatures.

"Be on guard, we've reached our first landmark in our journey towards this Avalon.."

Acheron was not the least bit worried about the dangers though, but he did know that should any danger reveal itself, it was going to be troublesome. Acheron however, began to focus on a different matter troubling him, his link with Draco. He truthfully hated the idea of someone else being able to communicate with him as they pleased...

"I know how to purge it and remove it permanently, but it has been a useful tool thus far."

Acheron made note to destroy it later.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"I just have so many worries Acheron. My heart keeps telling me that I will save her, and I will be able to endure anything to get her. My brain says the same thing, but it also thinks of the worst possible things, and it terrifies me. If...I not even want to say it....if I can not save her." After speaking the last part Dimitri started to tear up. "I not know what will happen to me....would I kill myself? Would I lose all self control? Would I turn into a even worse monster than I already am?" Dimitri rubbed his left shoulder, making sure the bandage was staying on.

 

"I know all of you think I am some kind of saint. I want to believe it too, but the things I have done.....I have an evil inside me, and is not from any demon or influential force. When I killed, I felt good. I did not want to feel good, but it felt good watching them bleed. It makes me sick thinking that I have something like that within me. It scares me that...what if I became that monster again and I was with her? What if she saw how much of a fucking evil being I am? I just want her happiness....no matter how she wants it. Even if she wanted to divorce me, and be with someone else I would let her only if she would be happy. No matter how much it would hurt me, as long as she was happy....I would kill myself a least knowing she was happy..."

[dragon4111 914]

"Yep," he said as he took a drink from his mug. The tavern was nice and had a nice ambience about it. Draco took another drink of his Nord mead. he put a wing over Delia telling the other stallions that she was taken. Sure he might be a little jealous but hey she is a wonderful mare.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I have scryed many forbidden tomes, and have entered into realms to see and gain things no one should even have the slightest idea of."

Acheron spawned several books and along with them, demons.

"These tomes often warned of insanity or ill fortune befalling the one who dared pursue its knowledge, and these demons served as the protectors of the forbidden. Every single time, I would cheat death and enslave the guardians, taking whatever I pleased..."

Acheron paused for a while, knowing that Dimitri might be somewhat confused as to where he was going with this story.

"What I'm saying is, is that as you will it, so shall it be. Do not let a fate you only think will happen enslave you. You determine your fate, nothing else does. I know you are able to stand."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"I just know I am a monster though. Can I really be with her then? Can I keep putting her in danger? What if more bad things happen to her? She has already been taken once before, and now again! Being with me will put her in danger, and I can not handle knowing that. Her in danger...even saying that hurts me." Dimitri knew Acheron was trying to comfort him, but he also knew that he was trouble. His dark side, his anger, the fact that he had certain powers. He was a wanted fugitive still, and having a price on his head would endanger those he loved. Could he really keep himself from becoming a monster?

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Dimitri, think about this... despite all that you have told me, and all the supposed danger you say Fluttershy is threatened by, has she abandoned you? Has she in any way forsaken you despite having knowledge of who you were? If she has not, then she truly loves you despite the dangers. She is willing to face them with you."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"She does not know everything. She does not know how many innocents I killed. She just knows that my parents were tortured until death. Knows that I was tortured for weeks and weeks, and that I escaped. She was so beautiful and truly caring towards me. I did not want her to know what I did. Did not want her to think I was a monster in anyway. She does not know about the powers either. I was scared to tell her about the deal I made. I felt like an idiot for even agreeing to it..." Dimitri sighed. "After I saved her from the first kidnapping, I had her friends look over her. I then proceeded to hunt down and kill...I have no idea how many...of her takers. I was consumed with power."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"But nonetheless, she stuck with you even after she was kidnapped. And I doubt she doesn't pick up on certain things about the secrets you hide. She is closest to you, no? Therefore she knows you..."

Acheron didn't know what else to say, but he decided to continue to try and help Dimitri.

Delia smiled as she drank two meads at once. Draco's wings were itching her a little, but she decided to ignore the urge to scratch.

"These Nord Meads are quite good." She said.She noticed other stallions looking her over and smiled at them.

She then drank another two meads and slammed the cups on the table, chuckling a little.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@,

Zefira smiled slightly.

"Good.Nothing gets between my goals and me."She said as she thought about what else to talk about.

"Oh, you got one thousand bits for this job right? What do you plan on spending it on?" She asked.

She wanted to show Acheron that she was ready to talk to him, but thought it would be rude to blow off the mare. 

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron noticed that Zefira was shooting some glances at him, but resisted the urge to go to her. Despite his earlier comment of a hardened heart, the fact that this mare still kept at least some amount of interest in him... did something weird to him...

"Unless she wants to kill you of course," Acheron thought silently.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco smiled as he drank his mead slowly. That was the trick for him to drink slowly. "Hmm nice yes it is good. But then again so are you Delia," Draco said as he smiled at her then said "Your quite beautiful in the moon light Delia," Draco said into her ear. He was blushing slightly.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

 

Diamond shrugged. "I'm most likely going to donate most of it...I may keep a little bit for myself but...you're probably going to laugh when you hear this but...I dislike having lots of money. It makes me feel too much like my parents. Which I do my best never to do..."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri sighed and walked slower. He closed his eyes for a couple seconds and shook his head. He was not feeling great. Eyes were stinging, head was throbbing, and he was just feeling rather awful. No matter how much he tried, no matter what he heard from Acheron, he could not help be still hate himself. He was a threat to those around him. His wife was not stupid, and he knew she could sense some of the things he never told her. He knew that she would not think any differently of him if he told her the things he did, but Dimitri knew he was still a threat to her.

 

Danger and hardships followed him around, and putting her in danger was something he could never think of doing. He wanted to keep her safe, no matter what happened to himself. The others seemed helpful, but his resentments for them still were there. Even though Wrath was evil for sure, maybe he was telling the truth too. These "friends" were probably nothing but backstabbers. If Dimitri had his inner demons, the others most likely did too. Does that mean they would involuntarily hurt his wife like how Dimitri involuntarily went mad? He knew a part of himself was to blame for that incident back there though. It wasn't just Wrath. It was also the darker part of himself.

Delia chuckled at Draco's words.

"Oh why thank you."She said.

Delia was too busy drinking her weight in mead to notice what Draco was doing now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@,

Zefira nodded her head.

"I'm kinda the same way. If i have too much bits with me, then it weighs me down...i can't kill effectively if i'm clanging every time i trot."She said as she yawned a little.

"Thats very generous of you. You don't see that quality in ponies these days."

[dragon4111 914]

Draco laughed slightly as he drank a second Nord Mead. He was enjoying her company as he folded his wing. He was happy to enjoy the company of his lovely mare. He began to hum a happy song. The mead was definitely helping his mood. "If we drink to many of these though we could get quite drunk,"

(Krein remember Sloth))

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron took one last glance at Zefira before turning back towards Dimitri.

"I can help you eradicate that demon from your being, the offer is still open Dimitri. You shouldn't have to live in fear of yourself, and I am willing to help you..."

 

(I don't want to do Sloth anymore... you do her!)

 

(Wait no nevermind)

 

The same lulling voice spoke again.

"This is where you belong. Drink, eat, be merry. Spend your time in luxury and in relaxation."

The voice continued to chant persuasively. From a balcony, a unicorn mare looked down with interest, her horn glowing as a few servants went to tend to the two ponies.

"On the house..."

They spoke calmly as they handed Draco and Delia a few bottles of quality mead and plates of food.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri stared at Acheron. "No, you can not...." His face was serious, and stern. "I do not have him in my being. It is a power he bestowed upon me. It is something he left inside my mind. It can not be removed. I spent long time reading books about magics, and I tried everything I could to no avail. The contract I signed was specific. The curse can never be removed. It will be a stain stuck in me forever." Dimitri sighed and looked at the landscape.

 

"I hate magic. I hate being a unicorn. I hate having this stupid horn and these stupid powers. They are the reason my family is fucking dead, the reason my country is being purged again! I am stuck to be what I am, and I will not complain about being a unicorn....but I will never embrace myself as one. Lenoy tried to teach me, but it ended up just fucking everything up! Now I have even worse powers. The only reason I did it was for her....I was so desperate...willing to try anything to find her. Even willing to use the thing I hate the most to find her. Why do you think I hide my horn?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I realize that," Acheron said as he scanned the vast marsh before them. It wasn't much of a marsh though, there were several trees and mountains towering on the sides. It was hard to spot at first, but the mist cleared soon which allowed the unicorn to see the landscape more clearly. Every now and then he thought he could hear some sort of battle going on, the clashing of armor and stomping hooves off in the distance. There was nothing there, although Acheron did see signs of buried battle materials such as armor.

"But Dimitri, you cannot loathe yourself for what you have been born as, it is something you could not control. As for your curse... it is something you must learn to overcome and accept...."
