[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri would've loved to have journeyed by himself, but at least this would be done one way or another. He turned to Draco. "So, can we get the artifact nows? I'm getting anxious as all heck." He gave a awkward grin. "Though..." He turned towards Acheron. "I'm sure we could've done it ourselves..." He chuckled and waited for Draco to answer.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I am quite certain we could've handled ourselves well," Acheron told Dimitri with a smirk. "Though it seems some ponies want to tag along; I suppose they just feel unsafe without us," he said with a slight laugh at the end.

 

(Ah I don't know what to do or see right now xD)

[dragon4111 914]

"Oh ha ha very funny you two. Nearly forgot to laugh. Anyhow oh here it is," Draco said as he looked at the coat of arms. The O'Malley coat of arms was a dragon holding a shield. "Now for the enchantments," Draco cleared his throat and began to recite Loveless "

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," He held a hoof over the box then held a knife and drew it across his flesh. Three drops of blood fell onto the coat of arms as the snap hiss of enchantments being broken. He opened the box to reveal  the artifact surrounded by black magic. "Acheron it's your move," Draco said as he stepped aside. Wincing from his wound on his leg now. He walked over to Diamond and Delia. He laid down next to them. He felt a wave similar to Greed's energy come by.

(So I'm guessing yes, they all know about his magic now. Could you have made it a little more obvious next time ?)

 

Acheron couldn't help but give a slightly sinister grin as he stepped closer to observe the artifact. 

"Generations of practice of Black Magic, and the knowledge of how to use it, all mine in a single object..."

Acheron's dark green aura became tainted with shadowy wisps as it snaked out towards the artifact. When the tendrils touched, it seemed the black, malignant aura began to slowly drain as Acheron's eyes were filled with its darkness....

"Impressive O'malley, I didn't take your kin for ones who would dare even think of using such power..."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond smiled and jokingly patted Draco on the head as he lay down next to her and Delia. "I thought the temple would be much bigger than this...but I guess I was wro-" She was cut off as a twig snapped behind them. She turned around to look into the big dark forest...nothing was there...that she could see at least.


However...just a little ways away there were three mares, the same as before. One bright orange and red, the other lime green with a dark green mane and the other, a normal yellow mare with a blue mane.
They stood in the same position as before as well. The yellow mare in the middle with the lime green mare on the left and the orange mare on the right. They stood, staring at the small group, all three had an evil grin pasted across their faces.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron took the ornate artifact and studied it. He could feel some strange energy emanating off it, no doubt something that would put them on the path to the next clue. However, Acheron quickly put it away in his pack as he felt a strange presence.

"Does anyone else feel that?"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri was perplexed by the strange feeling he was getting from being in the area, but he brushed it off as his immense angst that was lingering in his mind. He heard Acheron and diamond both react to the feeling too, but yet again he thought he was just imagining all of it. "So..." He spoke "anything it is telling you Acheron? Or does Draco need to read this?" He was tense as he asked the question.

[dragon4111 914]

"I'll read the note while Acheron uses the residual magc in the artifact to track it and then we can pinpoint the next artifact," Draco said as he looked at Diamond's flank. "Nice and petite," Draco said with a smile. "Anyhow Yeah I feel that alright and I hate this feeling," He looked to Delia slightly. He pulled out acouple bandages and wrapped it around the wound.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Well I do know that our next lead will be somewhere in or near the deserts of Appaloosa. Also, we better be really careful not to lose these, we'll be needing them to not only free the Six Bearers, but also to, at best, find a way to their captor and defeat him..."

Acheron shuddered slightly. The feeling wasn't going away at all. Were they being... watched?... He decided it was probably some strange animal.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond was about to say something about how Draco should stop looking at her flank when she was interrupted by somepony laughing.

An orange mare stepped out of the forest behind her and Diamond quickly spun around.

 

"Appaloosa ? Such a wonderful town, do you agree sister ?" She asked, looking up at a tree where a lime green mare seemed to appear. "Indeed I do...but it was a little hot for my liking." "Enough playing, both of you." Interrupted a third mare, stepping from the forest.

The other two mares sighed and appeared on either side of the third mare...who was quite tall. "So this is the group..." "Expected to stop...""The strongest of the senechals ?" They all laughed in unison. "You're all weak." "Pathetic." "Wimps." "We could stomp on you like a bug...but that's no fun...is it Diamond ?" Said the middle mare, staring at Diamond with an evil grin.
Diamond took a few steps back. "Who...who are you ?" She asked. "We" "Are" "Envy"

[dragon4111 914]

"Says the mares who want us dead," Draco said sarcastically. "You know normally I'd have a thing for mares that want me dead but right now nah," Draco said jokingly loud enough. Yep he had a death wish taunting the three mares. He began to whistle innocently and tried to look innocent. "ah who am I kidding. I'm no innocent stallion ha"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I was right, it was a wild animal! Three actually," Acheron said mockingly.

"You are all part of the Seneschal cult, are you not?... Amusing...."

Acheron, though taunting, was sure to keep himself aware and guarded. No telling what they were capable of. He had a vague idea, but it was nonexistant pretty much and only relied on what he could sense from them. Apparently even the Seneschal of Greed's mind was protected by its Master...

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri was taken aback by the three emerging mares. "What is this? More cultists?" He heard the others taunting the mares, but he was a little more sensitive to the situation. "You talk in unison? Is like a single mind, but at the same time it is not..." Dimitri was a little worried about this. He didn't expect another encounter so soon.

 

He was still shaken from the last one, and he had no clue what powers these three...or one...could possibly hold.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

The mares laughed again. "You think" "Weak words will" "Scare us..." "Anger us" "Oh no...in fact," "They only make us realize" "You ponies need to revert to " "cheap insults" "In an attempt to...do whatever it is you're trying to do...seriously I don't-" "Shut up. Now...onto Diamond...my sweet little angel" "Did you not notice Draco staring at your flank ?" "That's all he know's how to do...and that's all he see's in you." "Just a pretty mare he can make love to...you know you could beat him" "You wouldn't ever have to be around him" They said, still grinning at Diamond as she stared over at Draco...with a hurt expression. "That is all he see's in you...just some stupid mare he can play with...get him" "KILL HIM" "HE DESERVES TO DIE." They yelled.

Tears were pouring from Diamonds eyes as she looked back at the three mares. "STOP...NO..." She yelled.
The mares rolled their eyes and looked at Draco. "You do know that she told you to not save her because she would rather die than be with you" "She's weak Draco...she know's that the first fight you get into, she will die" "She wants it...she wants it to get away from you...because all you do is tell her how she has a nice flank and how you want to get into be-" The orange mare was cut off as Diamond stood up. She stared at Draco. "They're right...that's all you care about isn't it Draco...just my flank. Sexy mares. Getting in bed with Delia and I...buck you." She said, staring straight into his eyes. Something was off about her...her eyes almost seemed to be...vacant, like she was asleep...

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron noticed the way Diamond was acting.

"Well Dimitri, we do have mind manipulators on our hands, but fortunately they don't seem to target you..."

Acheron didn't respond to anything the mares were saying, because unfortunately they were right. All Draco had seem to do was just try and seduce the mares of the group without even setting up a relationship first, and as much as Acheron would like to see the pegasus be smacked around for it, he didn't feel it was necessary or alright to kill him. 

"Don't do something you will regret, Diamond... Don't trust what you feel right now... Do you not realize what they are?"

[dragon4111 914]

"Now you know that's not true Diamond," Draco said as he looked into Diamond's eyes. "You should know by now I appreciate beauty in all things. But I care about you and Delia remember that. Never forget it my dear ladies," Draco said as he gently dried her eyes "I hate to see a mare cry always have. It breaks my heart to see you cry because of filthy lies like that," Draco said. He looked at the mares angrily. "You know what I hate," he said as he focused his innate magic into his wings sharpening them. He started to walked towards the three. He sliced a nearby tree to cause some noise. "I hate mind walkers, dream stealers, and lies about me. I may look at their flanks but I want to get to know them before I even consider getting into bed with them," He said his voice cold as ice but also held a lot of venom with in it. His eyes were blazing with rage as he glared at the trio. "I maybe  weak. but I know who I am but tell me out of you three who has the most power,"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri nodded at Acheron and whispered under his breath to him. "Just don't say anything out loud about it. I'd rather not be tricked into trying to kill my friends again..." He stared at the three mares and to Diamond. He pondered the mares more than anything. Yes, he could agree that Draco was particularly interested in flanks and what seemed like seduction, but he knew Draco wasn't that kind of stallion.

 

His attention drew to Diamond and the mares again. "Listen to Acheron. You're with friends here, and we all need to just calm it down. Don't listen to these tricksters of emotion." He looked at the three mares. "Though you may be three, I must say, powerful mares you are rather interruptive. You're just...hmm...envious maybe? Like the name implies I'm guessing."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron nodded. "I hope you don't see me as foolish enough to do something like that. Either way, don't worry. Whatever should happen I'm more than capable of knocking a few heads around to restore things as they should be..."

Acheron turned to face the three mares. They were interesting, to say the least; being able to act and speak as one, yet still maintain their respective personalities was quite interesting to say the least, and Acheron was interested in seeing what their abilities were. His observations were cut though, when he heard Draco speak.

"Unfortunately that isn't the way you've made it sound, Draco... No matter, our own faults are no reason to try and murder each other over, at least not yet," Acheron said as he approached the mares, Draco, and Diamond more closely.

Edited April 19, 2013 by Krein

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

All three of the mares sighed. Diamond didn't change, she still had a very angry look, glaring at Draco...as if she was going to pounce any second.
 

"Well..." "You are all weaker than we thought." "But we're going to leave you with a small parting gift." She green mare grinned at Draco then looked at Diamond. The green mare's eyes flashed then she opened her mouth and spat a whole bunch of a sizzling green liquid.

The middle mare's eyes flashed and Diamond shook her head. "Wha...AAAAAAH." She screamed as the green liquid hit her. It hit her side and soaked down her her front legs on her left side, leaving long painful burns. Diamond was still screaming as she fell to the ground, in immense pain. The three mares grinned. "We will be meeting you" "After you" "become a little stronger." "Bye."And with that, they stepped back into the forest, disappearing into the darkness.

Diamond was still laying on the ground, panting heavily as she stared down at the burns covering half her body. She whimpered before her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

((I gotta go to bed...))

[dragon4111 914]

"I'll killed then," Draco said darkly he ran to Diamond looking at the burn. "I think we have ointment for that," Draco said with concern in his voice. He pulled off his courier bag as he looked through it scattering afew things. "Damn it, damn it , DAMN IT. Where is that burn ointment," Draco said as he was frustrated

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@@dragon4111,

((I wanna make one more dramatic post))

 

 

Diamond was slowly drifting in and out of consciousness when she noticed Draco next to her. She held up her badly burnt hoof and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. She pulled him close and did her best to speak. "I d-didn't...m-mean...t-t-t-to." She said, several tears making their way down her cheeks before she fainted...this time, for good.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"A burn ointment isn't going to be enough for this mess," Acheron said sternly as he shoved past the scurrying pony. "Unfortunately, I'm not an expert at healing others, but I can try to at least numb the pain."

Acheron casted a spell on Diamond's several burns, but it had minor effects on healing them.

"Hmm... Delia, your kind knows about remedies, do they not? See if you can help out here. Dimitri..."

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri was staring and angrily walking towards where the mares were standing and where they disappeared from sight. "I do not like this at all. These creatures are vile." He turned to see Draco scrambling and Acheron attempting to help Diamond. "I don't know how I can help here. What I'd like to do is to run after those mares, but that's a fruitless effort....I'm not a conventional healer, but her burns can be treated with something in the Everfree. We just need some leaves and a little dew preferably."

 

Dimitri ran over to the rest of the group. "I have bandages in my pack. Is good to get the wound wrapped after treating."

[dragon4111 914]

Draco bit his lower lip slightly as he started to pace slightly. He was debating either to use a healing talisman that he always kept with him. but he only had four. "I might have something that might help," Draco said slightly "It's best if she is unconscious like right now," Draco said as he pulled out one piece of paper that held the zebra letters for mend.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron examined the wounds more closely.

"Well, that certainly isn't good," he said quietly under his breath. While a slow process, it seemed that the acid was still working its way through Diamond's flesh, increasing the area and severity of the injury.

"We're going to need both remedies I'm afraid."

Acheron explained what was going on with the burns, and then made suggestions.

"Dimitri, go along with Delia and search for the best ingredients for your remedy. Quickly, this isn't going to improve anytime soon right now. Draco, use whatever it is you have to slow the damage and ease the pain..."

Acheron could try and heal her "his way", but that healing had a way of corrupting its targets unnecessarily should they not be prepared and willing to accept it.
