Eclipse was able to regain himself and catch his breath. After he did so, he saw the figure of the beast, standing before them. It wasn't very appealing, which would probably be the understatement of the year, but at least it was visible at last.

"Monster..." Eclipse said, walking up to the beast. "You've tortured us, our friends, and stole our magic. At this point I was just fight without second thoughts. But because I am abound by the laws peace, I'm issuing you a chance to explain yourself. Speak now... or face our wrath."

The Wyverns neck swayed slightly as it assessed each creature in turn. Ponies - like so many before them. None could succeed - its very design was that of a harbinger of the end times, to compile the strength and knowledge of their entire race into a single being - an avatar of their race to protect them from themselves... yet they insisted of self destruction.

 

The voice - if it could be called that - rang out in a language not known to any pony alive: yet every words meaning was painfully clear. Thundering yet with an astounding clarity, it bore down on them from all around.

 

"On the precipice of eternity and your demise, your idle threats fall upon that which is your salvation. We are that which you call the immortal litany - the oath of preservation: we are legion, for we are many. Ten thousand years and twice as many lives in the making was our purpose - and through the petty actions of you few, your doom was not prevented. To prevent the purging of this world, we must act according to our purpose."

 

The lights flared. A blinding brilliance as the draconic shape stepped forward - growing to easily twice its size as the etherial shapes of enough creatures to easily outnumber any army faded into existence in the immeasurable distance behind it.

ronin stood where he was, unblinking and seemingly breathless for a handful of seconds. He almost resembled a statue as he was gripping his blade in his hoof so tightly he almost bled. He dad no idea what the beast was talking about, and he didn't care. He was just sick of running and being pushed around. "Listen demon.

White Eclipse

White Eclipse only stood before the demon, paralyzed by complete awestruck. He couldn't believe what was just put in front of him. The Litany... it wasn't a scroll at all, but rather a living force, a beast to be known. Despite it not really doing anything, he walked up to the beast without a second thought.

 

"So... you are the powerful Litany we've been searching for?" Eclipse said to the beast. "I could never imagine you being something such as this. I have so many questions to ask you, and I've been waiting years to have them be answered..." Eclipse was of course referring to his lost past. He may have had a group to travel with and protect, but he had his own objective as well. He hoped that the Litany could take him to his past to show him what happened before he was frozen in his chromagetic state...

Hopefully he wouldn't try to kill them now...

'All right, I get it. My deepest apologies Amethyst, I meant no offense or disrespect when I refused your help earlier and I never once believed my own power was enough to defeat this thing. Now I have been led to believe that your power is at the absolute least equal to this manifestation of the Litany, so if you'd please help me survive this I would gladly do whatever it takes to make it up to you, within reason of course.' Midnight pleaded with the voice, at this point too desperate to care what it took so long as he could get out of this mess alive. On top of not wanting to leave his sister alone like this, Midnight was still painfully short of his goal of attaining power equal to or greater than that of an alicorn, and it would be too ironic for him to be killed by something with that sort of power during his search. Along that line, Midnight had been surprised to learn that the thing attacking was a manifestation of the Litany, though he got over his shock quickly thanks to all that's happened in the last week and a half.

 

But something the Litany had said bothered Midnight. "Wait, you said that we have interfered with your goal of safeguarding Equestria. May I ask what it is that we did to endanger Equestria in the first place, because I can guarantee that the only reason we're here at all is for the same reason as you, we want to protect Equestria." Midnight said to the large serpentine Litany. By trying to talk with the Litany Midnight could attain multiple goals, he could try and reason with the Litany and try and convince Amethyst to help him out at the same time, either way he was buying time just in case a miracle happened, though Midnight wasn't a strong believer in miracles it was never too late to hope for one. At this point he'd even be glad to see his eldest brother Frozen Stars, though he seriously doubted that Frozen's magic would do any good. Midnight didn't know where the others were exactly, but he did get the sense that they were nearby and he hoped that at least one of them would get out of this alive.

Crimson glared deeply at the serpentine figure, showing not fear, but intense rage towards the Litany. "Are you saying...that you are the essence of that damned book? Your the one who made Orion crazy?! Your the one who nearly got us killed?! Your the bastard that corrupted Noble!! Do you know how many innocent lives are probably ruined because of you!! I don't care who or what the hell you are! No one does that to innocent ponies and gets away with it!!" he yelled, unleashing Helios and brandishing it, ignoring the pain in his skull. "Take away Noble's powers, now!! If he has no powers, he's no threat to innocent ponies!!" he said.

ronin was knocked sideways by the shockwave, and barely had time to dodge out of the way of the impact as the beast attacked "damn, always gotta be magic. Never steel against steel." He said, as he rolled to a stop and stood shakily. He again put his sword at the ready, but was unsure of what to attack. There wasn't really a body to speak of for him to strike.

"I will find my past! I won't let you stop me!!!" Eclipse was now enraged. The only thing that mattered at this point was taking cared of this meteor shower. Without hesitation, Eclipse fired a shot of his magic at a meteor, hoping it'd break apart.

Clockwork's speed had brought him ahead of the group by a ways, but he was soon caught up to by Icarus, who had run after him. He glanced to his side, seeing the doctor, and then looked back to see if anypony else had been as wise. "I do have a good idea of the path ahead.. It's been many moons since I traveled it though, and the weather was better at the time.. But I know this road." He could see some of the others were behind, and slowed to let them catch up. As the road narrowed, he gazed up to the snow banks hanging overhead. "Best not to make too much commotion here." He thought. This path could be dangerous, more so than the open land of the other road, however facing whatever had followed them thus far seemed to make the risk worth it. He began to slow his pace as the road narrowed more and more, feeling satisfied the presence had lost interest in them, at least for now. He held little hope for the others who had stayed, and didn't feel any emotion towards their loss. Suddenly his stomach began to churn, seemingly out of nowhere. He was filled with nausea, and his stomach lurched. Pain shot through his gut, and he winced, stumbling to the side, leaning on the rock wall. He knelt down against it, and vomited violently into the snow. "What is happening to me??" He wondered, immediately glancing up to see if Aegis was around. "It has to have been the food.. but how? It seemed so fresh.." Had he been poisoned? The thoughts began to swirl in his head. He looked up at Dr. Icarus with a slight fear in his eyes, not knowing what was happening. "Doc.. I need your help.. I don't know what's wr.." Mid sentence he was cut off as his stomach churned again. Leaning back over he began to throw up more. The scent of putrid, rotting peppers met his senses, causing the feeling to worsen. Whatever it was, his body was rejecting it.

Scribbler glanced to Orion as he called to him. He began to move towards the others, Mirror at his side. "I am unsure of how much energy I have left to give.." He looked mournfully at Willow's unconscious form, draped over Zintiik's back. "If I spend it on her, I might be the one they must carry.. And is it worth it? She is at least staying out of trouble while she is asleep.. I do owe her, but I would be of little help as long as she isn't in danger." He stepped up to Zintiik, and placed a hoof against her neck, and could see that she was breathing, and had a pulse, it was weaker due to her being unconscious, but strong enough that she was in no danger immediately. "She seems stable for now. We should keep moving. I can heal her, but I need to regain my energy. I am too weak to continue expending magic." He turned to Orion "I am sorry, my friend.." He said, as he moved back to Mirror's side. He worried Orion would begin to blame him for his lack of action, knowing that Willow was most important to him. He could only hope the unicorn was forgiving enough of his current injuries.

Midnight was relieved to hear Amethyst agree, especially when the shock wave hit. When Midnight got back up from the shock wave he was horrified to see what appeared to be meteors falling from the sky, which brought back a lot of memories. "Okay, now this would just make my death even more ironic if I were to die by a meteor, seeing as I got my cutie mark for being able to deflect a meteor with magic. Time to fight a superior magic entity with another superior magic entity!" Midnight said as he pulled out and expanded his custom spear. Never in his life would Midnight have been glad that he had been trained to always carry a weapon in case he ran out of magic energy by the Neighland army's magic combat division. Levitating the gem and spear so that he wouldn't accidentally skewer himself, Midnight ran his spear through the gem with all his might. He had no idea what exactly would happen once the gem broke, Amethyst had never bothered to explain that bit, but at this point it couldn't possibly make their immediate situation any worse.

The magic flickered, but fired - however weakly. It cut through the air: striking one of the stars and - while not causing any visible damage - knocking it off course. So much as the light severed whatever source unicorn magic might be drawn from, something about the unicorn still managed to draw a trickle from somewhere. It wasn't without a cost though: thin, black marks began to form with the drawing of magic - tiny webs of intricate detail spidering their way across the tip of his horn.

The stone appeared completely unharmed for a moment as the stars smashed into the ground - the impact shaking the very foundations of Equestria as they vanished from sight, passing right through and surfacing once again in the form of the Wyvern.

 

Cracks - impossibly thin black lines spidered outwards over the surface of the amethyst before it erupted into an intense white light. With an echoing rumble, a flash of colour - every colour known plus a few impossible ones: the same aura as had appeared in the cave - and a sharp shattering sound, it was over. The shape of what was almost a pony stood uneasily before them. Far from something intimidating or imposing - from something that might protect them - it spluttered and gasped for a moment before a cloud of translucent light seemed to gather around its body, lifting it a few inches from the ground.

"Finally!" She stretched with an expression of mixed elation and disgust - looking about as if she had all the time in the world. The Amethyst was once again intact - clasped around her neck and radiating its faint light which coloured the aura around her a deep, arcane purple.

 

"I told you that it would work! See? Now who's being stupid?" She cried victoriously to... someone. Herself perhaps? Malice and joy echoing from her haunting excuse for a voice - close enough to be understood by all but too surreal to ever pass as natural.

 

"Now... uhm... Huh. Should have probably come up with a plan for dealing with this earlier..."

A faint dark mist, its own entrance overshadowed by the brilliant display of Amethyst's entrance, observed the ponies around it and Amethyst's own form before a deep and amused laughter echoes from it... There seems to be something else in its voice but its subtle and almost undetectable.  "Alright, alright, but i've heard that plenty of times before... Besides you forgot about that thing, so who's being stupid again?" The mist then expands and retracts into something that could have been a pony...

As the pass sunk lower, a gaping passage into the very base of the mountain opened up - it would have been pitch black - were it not for the ancient gemstones set into the walls at random: glowing with a faint blue light.

 

The passage was dry enough - slight trickles of water where natural heat had melted patches of ice ran for short distances, but generally froze again before too long. The faint light revealed that the passage went on for a good distance, with tunnels branching off at regular intervals. The whistling of wind coming from within promised that at least one passage would lead them out somewhere else... eventually.

Another roar - one of frustration this time: accompanied by more thundering dialogue by the same voice: the Wyvern split cleanly in two as the line of fire struck - reforming once it had passed with a shining stain the colour of fire across it.

 

"For an eternity we have given our lives to prepare: to protect our world from a threat infinitely your greater..."
