"Excuse my harshness, but is bullshit. No one in my family is related to any unicorns or is a unicorn. I am cursed to be this. Cursed to live as this. I brought the other curse upon myself though, so I can not be upset. I was desperate...I had to do something, anything to find her." Dimitri took a large exhale as he scanned the land. It was rather humid, seemed to be a large marsh. "I never asked to be what I am though. Sometimes I think that if my parents never died, and I was born as an earth pony life would have been better for me and Fluttershy. I would never have come here, and she would have a happier life..."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron was confused by Dimitri's comment. He had never seen such an actual case like Dimitri's, it was rather interesting.

"Then have you ever considered that your parents were not your true biological parents? If you have and have proven it, then think this: There is a reason why you were created like this, and I feel it wasn't to do evil. There is something greater ahead for you..."

 

Now Acheron began to hear whispers in the distance...

"I hope you hear those too..."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"I am related to them. We did some tests with the blood, and my doctor had several pictures of the birth. My mother would never cheat on my father either. I was just some kind of freak accident.....Lenoy told me the same thing you say. Said I was special. That is why he was willing to teach me everything he knew about magic. I still think is bad. The only reason the country is in turmoil, and my family is dead is because of me. Fluttershy would have been better off never meeting me I am sure..." Dimitri did not want to even say that, but he was really thinking that he was no good to her.

 

"I do hear something strange. I not see anything though...." Dimitri whispered to Acheron. His ears perked up and he heard the sound of whispering. It sounded strange and distant, but had little clarity.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Yes, magic can often be used to cause destruction. However, magic in itself is just a tool to be used. The user determines how to utilize it, and I am a prime example of such. My magic is even darker and more dangerous than even I reveal, yet I have never done atrocities with it like Sombra did. Therefore, you determine how you shall bend your so called curse to be your tool..."

In the distance, Acheron could see an old boat. It was large enough to carry the others who were with him, but something made Acheron stop. He could see the swirling mist beginning to thicken in front of then, and it seemed to begin taking on a specific form...

 

"Ugh, what about that?!"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"I still think magic is something I will never use. Only reason I used it was to save my wife. That is the only reason I would use it again. Wrath, and that Etonat....really show me what magic can cause. Magic is either used for evil, or for laziness. I hate it. I mean, what did I do back there? Can I control fire? Is ridiculous and too powerful...." Dimitri huffed and gritted his teeth as he looked up at his forehead. "I hide it because I hate it. I wish I was an earth pony instead. Then I could have better life....Fluttershy could be safe..."

 

Dimitri looked ahead as be started to see a boat off in the distance, but before he could say anything about it he noticed a mist begin to thicken and manifest into something. "What...is that? Better not be anymore damn cultists.....I swear...."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

The misty beings that had formed seemed to grunt in disapproval at Dimitri's comment.

"Cultists we are not," they spoke in unison. "We are warriors, tall and proud, of all species."

Most of them were ponies, but some zebras and griffons were in the bunch as well. Despite their shimmering forms, Acheron could make out a matching isignia on their bodies, the same one he had seen when he searched Draco's mind for information on the dream. The spectres picked up on Acheron's recognition.

"So you lead this group towards Avalon. Many have forgotten of it, and those who venture for it almost never-"

Acheron spoke up loudly, interrupting what the shades were saying.

"Save the admonitions, shades, the misfortune of other fools will not deter us from reaching this place. Now unless you have something helpful to inform us of, go back to sleep..."

The ghosts were obviously none too happy at being dismissed so quickly. When they tried to circle around them, Acheron sparked his dark magic, making them back off slightly. The shades spoke in unison once more.

"Hold! We know of that magic well. Though we have not found true rest in the halls of honor of fallen warriors, please, do not submit us to that foul, accursed magic!"

The ghosts floated upwards and spread apart their groups, and one by one, a few of them shot into the ground.

"We are here to be the first forms of defense to guard the way to Avalon."

The places where the ghosts had entered cracked, and bodies rose up from each hole. It was a rather different form of a zombie, not decayed, still almost like it was during life save for their glowing eyes and open wounds.

"How well can you all function as a team?"

They asked their final question before they all descended into the ground, raising up several more bodies.

 

Acheron gritted his teeth. There were a lot of them, and he knew they wouldn't be too easy to kill... again at least. He ordered the ponies in his group to join together in a circle so that they could cover all their sides...

"I don't get drunk that easily, Draco. You might, but us zebras aren't lightweights." She said as she drank another two meads at once.

She looked around at the patrons who were either staring at her in surprise or just drinking amongst themselves.

You should challenge the whole place to a drinking contest.

No,we have a mission to complete.

Yes, but being a Zebra you can still do this and have enough time to complete the mission.

Well....that is true.....but what about Draco?

Buck him, stick with your own kind...or better yet go with another mare...like Diamond.

Delia paused for a while; she drank three meads and laughed.

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

Zefira and Diamond continued to trot with the group. They both heard a little of Dimitri's and Acheron's back and forth. Zefira was about to comment on Acheron's attitude but she soon found herself amongst ghosts.  Before Zefira or Diamond could get in a word they were being ordered to form a circle.

damn, i hate working in a team unless i was with my fellow assassins.Zefira thought as both she and Diamond hesitantly got in the circle. 

Zefira looked over at Diamond who appeared to have an posture that gave her the sense that she would rather be somewheres else at the moment.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri backed into the defensive circle and rolled his eyes. "More fighting? I just want to save my wife! These fucking obstacles are really starting to infuriate me!" Dimitri grumbled and gave a quick glance to Acheron. "What is happening? Who are these specters?" Dimitri was not really caring about why these things were assaulting them, but he wanted to find out if he could kill them. Dawdling around while his wife was God-knows where. He was becoming more irritated, and was beyond the breaking point of a mental breakdown. It was surprising that he had not snapped yet.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco pushed his mead away. His resolve was shaken once and now he was just stalling. What would his grandfather think about that. He would get an earful from the old man. He closed his eyes thinking and not letting the alcohol get to him. The food smelled wonderful but he wasn't hungry.  Draco opened his eyes within his silver eyes looked like there was an inferno. "Delia let's go," Draco said.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

((Hey, so I can post more often than I thought I could. I will be able to control Diamond but when I cant, just assume that she is following the group))

 

Diamond watched closely as the bodies climbed from the ground...but that wasn't really all that's on her mind...she was beginning to notice Draco and Delia...for some reason they were allot more touchy...without her. She felt sorda left out but ignored it and did her best to focus on the corpses.

(Ugh, sorry for making another fight scene, I was just trying to keep something up since I didn't know how long Draco was going to keep up his sappy romance stuff up... Just make this quick or something...)

 

Acheron rolled his eyes, he wasn't really in any mood to fight and was only more irritated to see that they were so close to get to their next "checkpoint".

"Another 'test'? As if the Seneschals weren't already enough. You know, now that you've irritated me so, how about you see what's going to become of you should you fan my anger further?"

 

Acheron summoned a few wraiths, those of the three Seneschals but also of other powerful mages he had subjugated in his quests for forbidden magic.

"Attack... and devour..."

 

The summoned thralls rushed into battle, the other zombies charging towards their targets as well. Acheron readied himself as the zombies that weren't engaged in combat with his wraiths came towards him, and knocked them backwards with a spear of dark energy.

"Please, don't even make me show you more deeper levels of this power..."

Acheron looked over his allies to make sure they were ok. Though they were fine, the reanimated bodies were already close to them...

@@dragon4111,

Delia slammed back four more meads and sighed.

"Finally, i was getting bored of the scenery." She said as she started to walk out of the Tavern.

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

 Zefira sighed and got serious. Nothing else mattered to her. Not the group, their safety, or even Acheron. She just had the urge to press her blade against something.

She ran towards the closest zombies and started unleashing her fury upon them. Her slashes were fast and her movement even faster.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri took another annoyed sigh, and he rubbed his shoulder. The reanimated corpses were closing in too close for comfort, and Dimitri was in no mood for this. His mind was else where. Thinking about the only thing that mattered to him. He charged towards the closest corpse and slammed his previously dislocated shoulder into it. The cadaver flew back, and Dimitri harshly headbutted another one that came from his left flank. He ran up to the fallen body and slammed his front hoof onto it's skull. It shattered immediately from the immense pressure and force. "Come fucking attack me!" He yelled out loudly.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco smiled at her "I know who and what's important to me Delia. You and Diamond are what's important to me. My friends are also. So let's go," Draco said as he walked outside with Delia. "I think our friends and lover is in danger no well let's go," Draco said as he flew into the air. He felt free and reborn now that he had time to think. "Think you can keep up milady zebra?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Don't stress your wounds Dimitri, your body will suffer permanent damage!"

Acheron spawned to weapons he felt Dimitri might like using, a hammer and a sickle made from dark energy. He made them float over to the red stallion, a spell put on them to follow the movements of Dimitri.

"Use those!"

Acheron formed a darkness grip over griffon coming towards him, snapping its neck quickly and then morphing the claw into a fanged maw to rip apart the redead corpse. Acheron enlarged it and sent it after a phalanx of more undead.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri took a glance to Acheron and then back to his opponents. "I not need any weapons. I, myself, am a weapon. Let me suffer. I deserve it anyway..." Dimitri neutrally said as a cadaver ran up to his right side. The body pulled out a dagger that was stuck in it's chest and it swung at Dimitri's side. Dimitri tried to dodge, and luckily the blade sliced through his skin on his leg instead of his side. Dimitri grunted, but in full retaliation he grabbed the body's arm and pulled it away from it's body. The corpse fell and Dimitri crushed the skull.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Fine then," Acheron said as he barely dodged a slice from a griffon. Unfortunately, the griffon anticipated it and caught Acheron side with a slice of its wings, which were clad in blade like armor.

"Ugh... wonderful..."

Acheron said as he looked down to his deeply cut side. A small pony zombie jumped onto his back and attempted to stab, but one of Acheron's wraiths pryed it off before it could get a clean shot in. A few more corpses surrounded Acheron, weapons ready to strike.

"Oh..."

The corpses charged, much to Acheron's desire as he melted into the ground as a moving shadow, rising up behind the enemies while laughing.

"Sombra has nothing on my miasma form!"

Acheron altered his state to that of a blistering fire, moving over several cadavers attacking Zefira and Diamond.

Delia smirked and galloped towards the direction of where they departed from the rest of the group. She figured they went in the same direction as before, which was north, and went faster.

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

Zefira continued on her killing spree. She slashed a couple zombies and made her way to Diamond. A zombie was about to catch Diamond off guard. Zefira slashed the zombie with finesse. All of her attacks were done as so making the wounds clean and neat.

In her head, Zefira was making various calculations as she made her way around the fight.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

As the last few Zombies rose from the ground a tall buff pony...covered in dirt, stepped from the tree's and casually punched a couple in the faces...cracking their necks.

Without speaking the tall pony stomped on the head of a zombie nearby Acheron.

Diamond jumped slightly as she used her magic to start healing Acheron's wound...as much as she didn't want too. The sudden arrival of this new Pony...well, Diamond found it interesting...he was helping so he obviously wasn't a threat, but something about him seemed...different. Probably because he was covered in dirt...

Acheron had returned to his physical form, allowing Diamond to heal the gash on the side of his body. He gave her a nod of thanks, but frowned slightly when he caught sight of her hesitant, if not somewhat unwilling expression as she closed up his wound with her magic. He only shook his head as he went off to take care a group of undead attacking Zefira.

Dimitri stood fast as he took down three more corpses. The last one managed to cut him on his arm, but Dimitri quickly dispatched the body. He noticed another cadaver and ran up to charge into it. His shoulder felt an immense pain after it cracked the body's skull. Dimitri gave a displeased look at his shoulder, then started to look around the landscape for any more threats. "When will I find you? Do not give up hope darling, please. I will find you no matter what hell I must endure...." Dimitri whispered as he looked towards the sky for a minute.

Draco flew quickly to where the group was along with Delia. "YEEEEHAAAW!" Draco yelled out as he dove down through the horde. "Hey every pony missed me?" Draco asked with his cocky smile. He eyes grew serious and said "Acheron provide support for the front line fights. Dimitri go to Delia for healing she has the gel which isn't magic. Diamond conjure fire balls lots of them as many as you can. Delia provide support for Dimitri,"

"No," Acheron said in response to Draco's comment. "Besides, half of these guys are dead.. again, already, although, we will wrap this nuisance up much quicker now that you've finally flown in from your little unnecessary break."

Acheron summoned several claws of darkness and latched them onto several corpses. Sending a blast of dark fire through them, they all but disintegrated into nothing but ash.

"Draco, cut down the griffons and pegasi flying around, would you kindly?!"

Acheron shouted at Draco, ordering him to stop watching things and get moving. 

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

After healing up Acheron's wounds, Diamond summoned a few fire balls and smashed them into the heads of the zombies, sending purple flames spreading around their bodies.
She pushed one away as it ran at her, holding its ax up high. As it stumbled back, she used her magic to swing the zombies own ax into its head.

[dragon4111 914]

"No problem," Draco said as he flew into the air higher. He looked to the griffins and pegasi "Hello and now your in my air space bitches," Draco said with a smile on his muzzle. He began to fight the griffins and pegasi. His sharpened wings slicing them cleaning. their claws dug into his side as he flew.
