Star Struck stops dreaming of the horrors and dreams about Steel and talking in her sleep"oh yesi will be your mare friend  i love you too" Star rolls around to find a comfy spot in her sleep. she then rolls again and again still dreaming about Steel and how handsome he is.

Embers, Who had woken up by now, Chuckled at stars comments about steel "Well well well, Looks like steel does have some nice in him" Embers smiled, wincing at his gut, taking out his sword and got up, wondering around the camp, but staying within it

 

Sapphire was also now awake, but mostly just laying there

Star Struck wakes and looks at Steel and give him a little shake"are you awake? do you have any water i can use? im thirsty" Star askes him then looks at the night sky and sighs and says to herself"if it stays like this without the sun it could get really cold and freezing".

Steel opened his eyes "yeah it's in my saddle bags over there" steel said pointing with his wing as he stretched out and flexed

Runedawn awoke after the strange lightshow that occurred during the strange conversation that chilly and willow had. He opened his eyes and looked at what happened. “What the hay are you two doing over there… Did I miss anything important?” He then looked around to see that some ponies had fallen asleep, and others were just standing around looking in the distance. He felt strange. When he sat there on the ground, his legs didn't feel like legs anymore. It felt like he was connected to everything below him, like everything was a part of something immense and whole. He could feel the ponies around him, and the trees in the distance. Even the mighty mountains, which were miles away, pressed against Runedawns soul with their endless weight. The core was reaching out to him. It was calling his name...

 

Suddendly runedawns head hurt. He could already feel his mind drifting away… The ancient earth powers were calling to him. He stood up and quickly started drawing a circle in the ground below them with the backside of his hammer. Around this circle he drew a few runes that together resembled the same rune formation as the one on his cutie mark.

 

()

 

He stood inside it and closed his eyes, frowning deeply. “Do not interrupt me, this will only take a minute… Ask questions later” He slammed the butt of his hammer into the ground, in the middle of the circle, and he sat down next to it… 

 

 

He then turned his bag of runes upside down in the circle. All the granite disks fell on the ground. “Gol ko Su, hahdrim hiin gol!” He mumbled repeatedly. First he spoke quickly, barely articulating, but eventually he started to speak more slowly, and in a deeper bass tone. Then he went silent, and the expression on his face changed. His eyes were still closed, but he no longer seemed in pain.

 

"In the earth we bury our dead brethren. This is where they reside for eternity.  All ancestors that had ever walked on the world are still with us, yet they are below the endless rocks of the ground. They are in the core, where every soul is consumed into the blazing inferno of molten rock and iron. There, they become one. They become part of the earth we stand on."

 

A loud voice resonated in Runedawns head. "Who are you? Why are you in my mind..?" Runedawn was confused. He could no longer hear the outside world, he couldn't even move a muscle.

 

"We are a force more ancient than any other. We are every Earthstriker that has lived before. We are one consciousness, we have all become part of the greatest forge there is. You seem to know our ancient rituals like a true Earthstriker. This was our test to you, and you have succeeded. You did not fear the ground you walk on. You embraced it like a true Earthstriker should. We called out to you to guide you, and to ask you for help."

 

Runedawn was slightly scared, but more so obsessed with what was happening "Why did you only contact me now. I have been an earthstriker longer then just now..."

 

"The core has been threatened Runedawn. The sky has burned for days, and all other runesmiths have died. You are the final one still above the ground. We will survive in the core's heat, but you and your friends will surely die in the cold that will come soon. Without the sun, Equestria and all other lands will perish. Eventually, even the flame of the core will die, and all of our history will be lost. You need to protect the bloodline Runedawn. You need to save your friends."

 

Runedawn was now seriously frightened, the pressure of responsibility took its toll."Well how am I supposed to save the world on my own! I am not some sort of wonderpony!"

 

"You are not alone. Your friends who are around you right now will help you. The power of friendship is powerful force Runedawn, do not forget that. Use your talens. Use theirs. The shards of the sun that are spread across Equestria will be the beacons of hope for the rest of your civilization now... The last heat will shine from there, but even that little candle will be blown out by what is about to come. The core will give you strength Runedawn. Go now, and save the world. Not alone, but with all that is connected by the home that is the earth."

 

Runedawn felt the heat of the core fill up his body. It scorched his muscles, but did not harm them. It cooked his blood bit did not vaporize it. The core had granted him the warmth he needed to keep going. The warmth that all of Equestria needed to keep going.

 

Runedawn still had his eyes closed when he returned to his normal state of mind. The runes around him had started to glow violet and purple. He slowly breathed in and out, and opened his eyes. They were softly glowing orange light. He just sat there for a while, basking in his own heat, not knowing what to do, and still feeling the earth connect to him, but no longer calling out. He felt alone.

Steel watched runedawn as he did his thing steel stood as slid his dagger in its sheath and grabbed an apple from the crate and then Sat by what was left if the fire

Grell sighed "so are we leaving soon or what " grell asked as he ate njys from his bag dd

[CrimsonWeb 786]

Sapphire yawned, saw grell and smiled, she got up, still looking at grell "We should, we shouldn't waste are supplys" She then glaced at embers, who was mostly recovered "It might be slow...."

 

Embers sat back , leaning back on a burned down house "Yeah...Sorry about that, but im better now"

[dashian500 194]

Grell smiled "I need to check out your wound make sure that an nothing's going wrong " grell said as he walked over to embers "lay back " grell pulled out his medical kit just in case he needed it

((how would you feel if he got an infection or something of that nature )

[Scribblegroove 565]

Runedawn was silent for a while. He thought deeple about he was going to say. He thought about telling the others about what he saw, but he decided that he'd  keep most of the details for himself. "I know what we have to do..." He grunted. He stood up and packed his things. He grabbed his hammer and strapped it to his back. "Yes, we are leaving... As soon as possible, preferably now." He said while he turned to Grell. "I have a heading for us. Two actually. The one goin' to canterlot, where we will speak with Luna... We have the right as her subjects to know what happened! The other one be to... well, the crystal empire I think. I believe that we could go see if cadence is still alive, and we might be able to find..." Runedawn hesitated, he didn't know if he should tell everypony this.

 

"What I just did was a ritual that connects oneself to the earth. It works for everypony, you can go stand in the circle and feel it yourself, yet only the bloodline of earthstrikers can actually do something useful with it. Practically speaking, I just had a vision, and it told me that we had to hurry finding a solution to all this. The earth won't stay warm for long... It is losing its heat quickly, it is already getting colder every hour. As long as there is no sun in the sky, the world will keep losing temperature until everything on the surface dies." Runedawn pointed to the mountain in the distance where theremains of Canterlot could be seen. "I know two ponies who can warm this place up again. Luna and Cadence." Runedawn knew that there was more to this. Something bad was about to happen. The aftermath of the apocalypse. Runedawn pointed his glowing eyes at the everypony around one by one. "The heat of the sun can't have gone to dust in such a short time. I bet you ponies that there are hot ass shards of it lying all around Equestria. We will be sure to find one on the way. If I could get my hands on one of them, I might be able to make something that can repel the cold..."

 

Runedawn looked back at the canterlot castle, which was still partially burning. Most of it had been destroyed though. "So I guess we have three heading then. The shards, Luna or Cadence." He looked back at the others. "Your choice..."

 

He then stroked his beard and coughed. "I don't know why, but I have a feeling that the vision didn't only give me information. I feel stronger now, and also warmer on the inside. Is there anything different bout me looks?" Runedawn didn't only feel stronger. He also felt lonely, being the only one to carry on all of the culture and traditions that his ancestors had left behind. Being the last earthstriker on the surface... He turned sad. His ears were pointing down. He was usually capable of ignoring his emotions, but after he just had his mind invaded by a omnipotent being, he was caught a bit off guard and couldn't throw his depression off.

When Willow took her hoof off of Bones' cutie mark, the ribbons of light disappeared. She spread her wings and looked at her bandages, "My injuries... they are gone!" She spread her wings and took off, doing loops and dives, twists and turns, acrobatics that made Chilly Bones dizzy. "I feel wonderful! And I owe it all to you... Yay!"

He circled his head and eyes till he felt dizzy. Then he shook his head and got his balance set " um...ya I'm glad to see that your alright and all, but what is all this?" He questioned. He was happy that he had helped another poor soul. But he didn't expect the sudden magic.

"Oh, I am sorry, I lost myself. What you saw was Celestia's magic in me. I can do everything a normal unicorn can do, like telekinesis, teleporting, things like that. But I can also communicate with their parents. Those voices you heard were them. I can talk to them, but it takes an immense amount of energy. I only do it when I need to. It does not really give me offensive capabilities, I leave that to people like Runedawn.

Star woke up from Runedawn's noisy little ritual."Weirdo."

 

She grabbed a pie. Borrowing one of Steel/Grell's(?) knifes, she sliced into eight pieces. "Anypony want pie?" she asked, taking a slice for herself.

"Oh, okay now that makes sense. So that's what happened when she gave you her power. Wait, in that means, could you control the sun if needed be?" He questioned, this seemed like a possie theory on Chilly's end. This could possibly give them a way to start a new world again.

[Starbound 150]

"I don't know... When a pony dies, some of his or her magic goes to back to nature, while the other part stays. There is a chance that that part of her magic was transferred to me, or if it is lost forever. I don't know, Chilly Bones. To raise the sun, you need to have powerful magic. I- I'm not even a unicorn! I guess we can figure that out later. Right now, I think we should find Runedawn and the others. I will fly up, and once I spot them, I will lead you. Ok?" Winter Willow rose into the sky, and searched. She caught a glimpse of brown, and a long beard. "There they are! This way!" Willow flew off in a direction.

"OH WAIT UP" he called out opening his wings and flew up following willow to where ever she was leading him. Ideas spun in his head as he thought of what to do next. Things where starting to get more interesting as things kept continuing. Now he has to wait for the next surprise.

[Starbound 150]

"Faster! Ha Ha!" Willow said playfully! All the joy from last night was still in her heart. "I should enjoy it while it lasts." She thought. "Runedawn! Runedawn! Up here! Are these the other survivors? Are there any more?" She flew low, right in front of Chilly, flying behind her. "There they are, Chilly Bones!"

 

(Ow. Nosebleed. These things come once in a while. Be back in a second.)

Chilly bones flew out and stopped behind her "hmm it's been a while since I've been able to fly like this" he said promptly. "Good exercise for the wings." He said jokingly. He then looked down at the group, hovering in only one spot keeping himself floating in air.

Steel shrugged "I think we are heading to canterlot " steel said with a smile as he sat by the fire

"Runedawn! You won't believe what happened last night... I am sure that you saw lights where we camped, right? Well, that was me. When you left, I told Chilly Bones my story. I am a heart healer, meaning I can see what a pony is feeling, and transfer them into me, or transfer my feelings into them. I do this to ponies in fear or pain, so I feel that fear and pain instead of them. It does not affect me, though. Princess Celestia recognized my talents and made me her royal healer... When Luna came back, I was in the throne room constantly, easing the shame the Luna felt. But about an hour before... this... happened, Celestia suddenly got a horrible disease. I saw enormous amounts of fear and pain in her heart, more than I ever have seen, more than my shield could protect me from. Luna forced me to stop, but when I objected, she ordered me. I saw reluctance in her, but I left, anyway." A tear ran down Willow's cheek, followed by two more. "When I got to Ponyville, it all started. I felt so much pain... But Chilly Bones gave me confidence. I marveled at the way he handled things, and so I found the power myself. Just before Luna sent me out, Celestia gave her magic to me, the last breath of her life... Now I can do magic like a unicorn, and communicate with Celestia's parents. They come to me from time to time, giving me advice in the form of vague riddles. When I told this to Chilly Bones, he said if I had Celestia's magic, I could possibly raise the sun once more... to bring this all to an end..."

Runedawn looked up. "Thats nice willow..." Runedawn said. "But the sun has been torn apart you know. We will need someone to repair it..." Runedawn was still torn apart about what he heard from his anscestors. "Forging the sun back into shape... That would be the biggest job i ever pulled, and saving equestria along with it!" 

 

Yet this thought of the possibility to smith something more beautiful then he had ever before didn't fill him with joy. It only filled him with more sadness. "If there were other earthstrikers around, we would've been able to prepare a proper ritual for it... I can't do the grand forging ritual on my own!" The thought of all that he had lost slowly began to hit him. He was blind to think that he had no one to care about when this apocalypse happened. The grief of loss tore him apart inside. It was something he had never felt before. It felt like homesickness and a broken heart at the same time, two things he could simply ignore before all this. He started to become angry at himself for his own emotional weakness, adding that emotion to the pool as well. 

 

He tried to speak, bring his logic and wisdom back into the group, to make sure that they went to canterlot. He wanted to explain to willow and chilly what he had seen. He couldn't. His jaw simply dropped and he looked far into the horizon. Slowly the emotions began to rush up. They were boiling inside him, and he couldn't control himself anymore. Right there and then, runedawns tearglands that had stood dry almost completely for years started to flood. His eyes started to tear up. He walked away to the others, back to the circle that he drew in the grass. He lied down inside it, hoping that the connection to his element would make him feel better. It didn't. Runedawn was flabbergasted. He had never felt this amount of emotion before in his life. He had never expressed sadness after he had become a stallion and left his parent's house. He expressed himself in the only way he knew how. Runedawn wanted to scream, but all he could get out was a creaky whine. Ashamed, Runedawn lay down his head on the ground, hoping to hear the voice of his bloodline again, that would sure be lost after this. Generations of practice and study... Lost.

 

 

All Runedawn felt was emptyness and sorrow.

Embers sighed, "It feels like bloody heck" Embers looked at his leg "That timber wolf had some wierd red gunk in its teeth" Embers shudderd, remembering it (Fine by me!)

"Runedawn, Oh- Oh no..." Winter Willow knelt by his side. "Runedawn... it is time for me to return the favor. Gathering a breath, she shivered. Runedawn did not show his feelings. She might be shut out from his heart. Willow put her hoof on his cutie mark, and ribbons of light came from her chest into his. "Runedawn, look at me. I know how you feel... being the last one is hard. I am the only heart healer that the world has ever known." Willow could sense the immense sadness in his heart. She absorbed some of it into her body. "Runedawn, its okay. When Luna sent me away, I felt so much sadness. I probably left a trail of tears in the throne room... When I woke up, and saw what happened, it hit me so hard..." Willow teared up. "I felt like the only pony left... but when you saved me, it was a huge relief, and when Chilly Bones taught me confidence, I was filled with joy. Runedawn, I would like to give you the same wisdom that Chilly gave to me. Sometimes you hit bumps. Sometimes you crash and brake down... but it is your choice if you want to get up and keep driving."
