"My family must have left clues behind. They were tasked by Celestia long ago when they were knights. Now a days the old code means nothing to these ponies," Draco said slightly aloud "So they would have left the O'Malley coat of arms on a box. Long services and no reward or recognition but I'm just going to shut up. We'll need supplies I have 4 healing talismans from the zebra tribes. We'll use those in an emergency. It takes 6 months for one talisman to be made. So I save them up. Plus they hurt like hell when you have a serious injury," Draco explained. "We'll need bandages, splints, anesthetic just incase we need to do field medicine," Draco said counting off the supplies they need in his head.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Hm, tell me more about your family's history," Acheron said, again intrigued by this unknown history.

"What were there tasks and customs? If Celestia deemed them worthy enough to fulfill hings then I bet this information is of some interest to all of us..."

[dragon4111 914]

Draco sighed "Well what do you know of the knights code?" Draco asked as he sliced into his hay steak. "A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked," Draco recited the old code. "My family lived by that when they started to go into music. I used to sing myself when I was younger. I used to be a lounge singer," Draco said looking alittle embarrassed.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Of the knight's code I know of, but what was your family charged with? I think it is clear that it has something to do with what's going on. Don't spare me the details," Acheron said. Acheron realized he was coming off as bossy and rude, but he needed to know all he could to know what to expect.

[dragon4111 914]

"Three sections protection, espionage, and then war. Some of the O'Malley family were earth ponies that's why I'm tall. They were sneaky things. Anyhow I would be in the protection section because I would be carrying valuable supplies to the front lines if we go to war," Draco said. "Anyhow it started with three brothers. One a warrior , One was a scholar, and the last was a prisoner,"

"I can make something for all of us I haven't had dinner yet so yeah," Draco said as he began to make a large dinner for all the ponies. "it's almost ready my fellow ponies," Draco said and he smiled at Delia. He set out the meals for all the ponies "Here we are my friends homemade dinners. Hay steak with mashed potatoes with a side salad with bitalian dressing. I hope you guys and gals like it," Draco also put down afew cups of tea for them and a cup of coffee for him.

Delis vowed to Draco and thanked him for the food. After a while of meditation she began to eat the meal set out before her. "DRACO! This is quite good! I can not remember the last time I had a meal so delectable! I hope you fight as well as you cook." Delia said jokingly. Delia knew full well what Draco the courier Pegasus was capable of thanks to their past encounter.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri awoke startled from his nap. A rather horrid nightmare. "What..huh..did anything happen at all?" He shook his head and wiped dream-related tears from his eyes. "Is time to go? I'd..I'd.." He stood up from the floor and stumbled a little. "...I'd like to go now. We go, yes?"

Delis vowed to Draco and thanked him for the food. After a while of meditation she began to eat the meal set out before her. "DRACO! This is quite good! I can not remember the last time I had a meal so delectable! I hope you fight as well as you cook." Delia said jokingly. Delia knew full well what Draco the courier Pegasus was capable of thanks to their past encounter.

Draco smiled slightly and said "Surely you jest milady after all I saved you from a rival tribe. But ah who cares about some courier pony eh?" Draco smiled to himself when he said that. "But of course any pony would help a beautiful lass like you. Heh but then again I'm always looking for business ventures to expand my business. I made a good friend that day though," Draco smiled fondly as he remembered that very day.

 

Dimitri awoke startled from his nap. A rather horrid nightmare. "What..huh..did anything happen at all?" He shook his head and wiped dream-related tears from his eyes. "Is time to go? I'd..I'd.." He stood up from the floor and stumbled a little. "...I'd like to go now. We go, yes?"

Draco looked at his friend "Dimitri come and eat with us. After I will give you a draught that will let you sleep without dreams. I have nightmares about that night," Draco said slightly. He coughed slightly "So come eat with friends Dimitri and remember what I've said and take comfort that Fluttershy will be found and back in your arms," he said with finality.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri was a little hungry, yet still was against the idea of relaxing around....though he wouldn't say it out loud.

 

"I guess I can eat." He stretched and walked over to the others. "I am still uneasy about Fluttershy." He said as he enjoyed a swig from his flask. "This whole situation is rather bad. I have many questions about it too though."

[dragon4111 914]

"Go on and ask I can answer afew questions. Sometimes we need to keep our selves calm and collected Dimitri. But I'll answer what I can so that you can have a peaceful mind," Draco said he could see the unease in his long time friend. While he would usually be flying over head he would usually spot the two love birds Fluttershy and Dimitri near the lake swimming with the otters.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"What, exactly, are we facing? Where do you think the threat is too?" Dimitri asked uneasily. He wanted to know exactly what he was up against. He was a mixed stallion of emotions. Anger, angst, and worry.

 

The food calmed him a little, but he was still a little shaky. "I know that all of us here are doing this for several reasons I'm sure. I'm just worried....even if I didn't recieve the letter I'd probably be looking still too."

[dragon4111 914]

"What we are facing that's a tough question but if I have to guess a fanatical group that hates the princesses and their leader is an arsehole. To your second question my ancestors left us clues that's why I was looking through my family history. And the threat isn't to us oh no no no the threat is to them because if they so much as hurt my fiends I'll i'll. Sorry alright alright. Plus we have a foreign stallion married to the sweetest of mares who can rip my wings off," Draco said the last part jokingly.

"A cult obviously, and if I was correct while writing down my theories, they're looking to gain more servants for their master. Powerful mages I'd assume..."

Acheron was now actually eager to face off with them. If they were powerful, who knows what Acheron could learn from their-

"Broken minds," Acheron said aloud. Seeing the others expressions, he quickly stuffed his mouth full of the meal.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri started to laugh a little. "Powerful magic...all I want to do is see if they can die. We can...kill them right? Is ethical to do this? Cause..." He took a last nip from his now empty flask. "...I wouldn't mind seeing them die."

 

Dimitri was a little tipsy at the moment. His rather...darker side...was started to reveal itself.

 

"They're just a powerful cult, yes? Still ponies? If they are, then I'm sure we can defeat them. Maybe...capture one and see if he can tell us things. If we ever decide on that...I'd like to be the one to inflict the pain." He wasn't thinking very clearly....and realized what he just spoke aloud.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I'll help you on that notion," Acheron said with a cruel grin. "I have a very interesting idea in mind to crack open their minds for what we need."

Acheron took another bite of his food.

"Dimitri," he said, "Even if they wont be easy to kill, I'm sure I can discover a way to do so."

Acheron was starting to see why Celestia might have chosen him for this quest. His knowledge, while appalling at times, could be of great use should they run into challenging situations.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco slammed his hind hoof down "Broken minds aye but no I don't think that's their goal. I think the leader want's a successor. Or if I had to guess where the leader is The Rift. it's been mentioned once in awhile in my books. Now Dimitri we'll do the good cop bad cop routine if that makes you happy. Acheron not really helping here," Draco said.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"Yes....we can do anything in that matter. Extremities aren't necessary for life...neither are ears or anything." Dimitri laughed a little and his eyes seemed to dim to a purple color slightly.

 

"Do what happened to me. Cut, and break, and cut and break.." He laughed a little louder. "I know torture inside and out. Happened to me for two whole weeks non-stop back in Sovestria..."

 

Dimitri took a breath and tried to calm down. Talking about the dark past wasn't good for his mental state.

 

 

(OOC: Be right back )

[dragon4111 914]

Draco sighed "Dimitri I want you to calm down and think would Fluttershy support that line of thinking?" Draco asked as he looked into Dimitri's eyes. "I will stain my soul instead of yours remember who you are. You are Dimitri and you are my comrade and friend.  Now then I know afew methods of torture myself," Draco said.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"In time I hope you will see what I mean. Then again, perhaps it'd be better for your sake that you didn't," Acheron said sternly as he turned his attention to Draco. He absolutely hated being underestimated, being told that his input was useless and sometimes even ignored.

'Anyhow, it seems I was right on the whole 'seeking servants' thing, thouh in this case its a successor. But why would his leader want a successor?"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco looked at Acheron and smiled "Don't think I'm underestimate you I'm just saving your talents for one of the generals after all wouldn't it be more fun against a challenge?" Draco said playng at Acheron's pride. He smiled challenging him and chuckled as he looked into his eyes.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron said nothing as he stared back into Draco's eyes. "Now would be a good time," he thought to himself. His eyes briefly and dimly flashed green as he locked firmly onto Draco's eyes.

"I don't like being toyed with you know," Acheron told him. However, nobody else could hear them, and in fact, it seemed as if they were in a completely different place, just the two of them. The area still resembled the mansion, but it was... corrupted. It seemed more demonic and dilapidated.

"But yes, a challenge would be fun. Now, I hope we can all act appropriately without having to take little talks like these."

The world slowly began to fade as everything seemed to return to normal. "You saw nothing," was the final thing Acheron communicated to Draco before they were finally back in reality.

"Hmph, I believe it's about time I get some rest. I am... weary now..."

Acheron stood up and gave a nod of thanks before preparing to leave. In truth, he was beginning to experience migraines and fatigue, it had been long since he had taken a telepathic trip with someone else.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco laughed and said "I'm not afraid to die Acheron. I have my sins you have yours. Oh what fun this is eh. I actually want to die because of I left behind my family to die in the fire that claimed their lives. So trust me I'm still looking for the bastards who started it," Draco said.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Delis listened to the conversation between the three ponies. "Hmm so we are in for a fight, and a big one at that i take it." Delia said with a grin on her face. She was reluctant to talk to the other ponies in the group. "If we are going to fight I need to prepare first." She said.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"Our sins are all our own. I'm sure we've all committed our share of immoral things. I try to not look at what I've done, but I'll gladly resort to violence for what needs to be done." Dimitri retorted.

 

He was complacent, yet clouded. He played around with his food. "I could use some more to drink. Have anything good Draco?"

Draco smiled at his friend "Dimitri I want to show you something," Draco said then he added "You can come too Diamond and Delia. You'll know why I'm the way I am," Draco said with a slight smile but beneath it he held pain with in his voice. He wanted his new and old friends to know him. "Aye I do Dimitri aged apple cider down in my cellar,"
