The filly gets up on Draco's back. 

"I have been stuck in this place ever since the bad stallion came." She said as ravens flew overhead.

"My Father says that ravens are a bad omen. Like a sign of death. " The filly continued speaking in her native dialect. It was apparent by how she acted that she was calming down.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco chuckled and said with a gentle voice "Well then let me tell you something. I was trained by my grandfather to be a knight. Want to hear the knight's oath that we take?" Draco asked the filly as he looked into her eyes. He had the look of an older brother in his silvers eyes. "I will protect you milady. May I be so bold as to ask the young princesses name?" he asked as he entered the maze with the filly on his back.

"My Name is Delia.It means exalted one. At least thats what my father says." She said. The filly looked around and spotted a cauldron.

"Land there! There is something i must do. Maybe you can help." The filly, Delia said. She felt safer as she went on with the unfamiliar pony. 

[dragon4111 914]

Draco landed near the cauldron. "So what must you do Delia?" Draco asked he looked into her eyes folding his large wings. he looked at the cauldron with curiosity then to Delia. Though he kept looking around  for the general of pride. He was just being paranoid but it was the right kind of paranoid.

The Filly Delia got off of Dracos back and dipped her head inside the cauldron.

"I think you should look in it." The filly said. The cauldron had water in it but also had a black droplet in it.

"It contains a part of me. Maybe you are here to help me." She continued.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco looked into the cauldron slowly. He was definitely curious now as to what Delia wanted him to see. Maybe some of her past would help him understand her better. "Hmm well let's see how deep this rabbit hole takes me. Heh jeez a rabbit hole what am I alice now?" Draco thought to himself.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron quickly parried the knife with one of the claws and then followed up with a strike from the second.

 

"I've seen the way you zebras train and fight. Nothing impressive," he said mocking pride. Acheron figured he should buy his two allies some time.

"Certainly that meager cooking tool isn't all the mighty zebra have to offer?"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

 

Diamond felt rather surprised that a fire ball the same size as his head could hit this zebra in the face and cause next no damage...but she chose to ignore that as a knife went spinning towards Acheron.

She sighed and took her chance to buck the zebra in the chest.

The memory was when Delia was a little filly:

Delia was in a small group with other filly zebra. She and the others were playing with fire while the elders were away hunting.

"Delia, don't get too close to it!" A voice said.

It belonged to Gwandoya who was, at the time tall and somewhat buff. His appearance suggested that he was older than Delia.

 

"Don't tell me what to do, Im grown." The filly Delia said. Her muzzle got too close to the open flame and scorched her. As she cried Gwandoya galloped to her and quickly licked her wound.

 

"Don't let the elders catch you cry. Hide those tears." He said as Delia's father came to the scene. Delia's father struck both Delia and Gwandoya, explaining that they are both to blame.

 

@,

(um...that knife was unavoidable but whatever haha)

Gwandoya had a stern look on his face.

"Quick reflexes? You'll need them with me." He boasted but was quickly angered by Acheron's statement

"Quiet you whelp! I will rain hell on you!" He was too busy with Acheron he didn't notice Diamond.

"Delia, Take this damage!" He yelled as he got bucked. Delia chest caved in as if she were the one getting hit. The scorch mark on her face had grown at an alarming rate.

NO i need the mortal body. Gwandoya thought as he transferred the rest of the previous attack to himself. His face melted away. @,

(Oh, sorry Auron .)

"You have no idea," Acheron said as he attempted to hold Gwandoya in place with a shadow claw. Afterward, Acheron let loose an aura of darkness and sent it above the zebra.

"Of what raining hell looks like."

Acheron ordered the dark energy down upon Gwandoya, manipulating it to become black fire. Acheron then noticed Delia's worsening condition.

"Diamond, attend Delia..."

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@,

(No worries bro)

Gwandoya laughed and broke character.

"You mortal ponies are really stupid! First you think you can oppose me and the others. Now you're killing your own teammate!" He then reverted back and tensed up his muscles.

"Come, Delia's ready and so am I!" Gwandoya said. He tried kicking up sand and debris into Acheron's direction hoping to disrupt his concentration.

 

((And now i go to work. Sorry guys))

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron returned the laughter in a mocking tone, raising his head arrogantly and pawing at the ground.

"Though mortal I have been able to enthrall countless demons and otherworldy beings, taking their knowledge for myself as they are humbled before my hooves. I have already done the same to three of your order, foal!"

Acheron then grunted as stinging sand fell into his eyes.

 

(Aw, ok, see ya man.)

[dragon4111 914]

Draco chuckled at the young filly Delia. "So that's who pride is imitating your old crush hmm," Draco thought to himself. He was going to have to kill pride. No pony makes his Delia hurt. He continued to watch Delia's memories wanting to know more. Maybe he needed to know.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@,

"The maggots will have a feast with your dead body. Now, attack him Delia!" Gwandoya yelled.

Delia's legs started to move slowly,but the rest of her body seemed limp. Suddenly every part of her body tensed up. She moved quickly to Acheron and headbutted him.

 

@@dragon4111,

Filly Delia soon went through a transformation. She grew into slightly older Delia who appeared to be around the age of nine.

"Thats why I can never cry in front of others." She said as if she were adding onto a previous statement. She then looked around at the maze. The maze had changed in appearance;the walls were darker and taller. 

"Come hither strange foreigner. You must accompany me to the next one." She said as she began walking. Scorch marks as well as a bruise on the chest had appeared on her.

[dragon4111 914]

"You alright there Delia?" Draco asked as he followed her. His eyes looked around as he caught up with her "I did say my name was Draco, Delia. I know but with me you don't have to hold back your emotions," he said as he looked at her with gentle eyes. "Hmm well that was an interesting experience," he thought to himself.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@@dragon4111,

"Draco? I feel like i heard that somewhere before." She said as she walked through the maze and its many turns.

"I'm just holding back my sadness. Papa told me to or else i would get hit." Delia explained as she turned a corner. This Delia knew how to navigate the maze without a second thought.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron groaned as he was headbutted by Delia. For a mare, she packed quite a punch, leaving a bit of blood... from his nose.

"Damn it that makes three times already!"

Acheron wiped off the blood and cleared his eyes from the sand as he refocused himself on his two opponents.

"My dead body? Stronger foes than you have sent me near that murky river, and countless times have I evaded my crossing it! You are no one special, foal, just another soul to sleep in my void of thralls!"

Acheron formed a maw from the darkness and sent it quickly towards Pride, snapping viciously.

[dragon4111 914]

"Well don't hold back. Emotions make us strong. With out emotions well what would we be then hmm," he said as he kept up with her. "I'm not going to hit you why should I hit you just for showing that you are strong yet are able to show your weakness to the one you care about you know,"

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@, 

Gwandoya smiled as he took the damage. The markings of the attack then appeared on Delia. Blood dripped down her sides.

"Go ahead and keep hurting Delia. Like i said before,us zebras can take a punishment. You know, you talk tough but i wonder, how tough would you really be if you weren't able to steal ponies knowledge." Gwandoya relaxed his stance.

 

@@dragon4111,

 "My papa said that if i cry i show weakness to the rival tribes. if I did that they would slaughter our whole village." Delia said. She then led Draco to another plinth. She dipped her face in it like she did the previous one.

"Hey, you might want to look at this." Delia said, stepping aside so Draco could peer inside.

[dragon4111 914]

"Hmm?" Draco said as he looked into it. He was looking into the memory Delia was showing him. "Well I did say I want to protect her," he thought to himself as he watched the memory play before him. "I still feel like Alice in wonderfuck land right now but if this helps her," Draco thought.

@@dragon4111,

The memory began playing:

Delia trotted along in a group who was learning how to hunt effectively. The group was being taught how to fashion a spear from a stick some twine, and a sharpened rock. The teacher of this exercise was none other than Gwandoya.

"Now this is just a basic design. The materials can vary from high quality, such as metal tips and wooden poles, or  basic like these." He said. Delia was in the middle of making hers when she started to struggle with tying the pieces together. She then lost her temper and destroyed the weapon. The others in the group got frightened which made Gwandoya displeased. He then dragged Delia to the side and spoke to her.

"Delia, a good leader should never lose her temperament. You must always keep a calm head." Gwandoya said as he wiped the tears of frustrations fro her eyes. Delia smiled a little but knew her father would hit her once she went back to her hut. The memory fades away as the last scene of Delia getting hit by her father plays out.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco sighed as he shook his head "Oh boy. So this pony err zebra was your mentor or did you have a more romantic feelings for him?" Draco asked with a curious tone as he looked to Delia. He was worried about that burn on her muzzle. He wondered what he should do "Well any other memories we need to see?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron chuckled as he listened to Gwandoya mock him.

"Oh I don't just steal knowledge from others, I actually go searching for tomes and relics of forbidden knowledge and power. That I often use others as a source for other knowledge is a different matter. But let me ask you how strong YOU would be if Delia weren't offering to be your scapegoat! What's the matter, 'mighty' zebra? Are you fearful that my attacks will hurt so you beg this other one to take damage for you? Pathetic."

Delia went through a second transformation.She now had the appearance of a fifteen year old zebra. This time she had four gold bands, one on each leg.

"Come now foreign pony. There are still more plinths to look at." She said as she walked through the maze. The walls of the maze grew yet again. they now seemed to be bending inwards.

 

 

(Grrr, passed out before i could post this)

"It is called teamwork. I deal the damage and Delia takes it. We also switch,I take the damage and she deals it." Gwandoya explained.

"Well then let's go. My name is Draco," he said reintroducing himself once more. If he had to guess  each time her viewed a memory this Delia would grow up. Draco walked with her to the next plinths. He thought to himself "Well she's starting to grow older and into the beautiful mare I know,"
