[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron's ears perked up at the mention of history, but then he remembered that the history he knew about wasn't something even the most knowledgeable historians would know... or should know for that matter. The histories of darkness, history of the twisted and secret things which have transpired in Equestria and in the Dark Realms...

Acheron shook his head. He did know quite a bit about "normal" history, and it was something that always interested him anyway.

 

"I enjoy history. What of it?

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

 

"Well, nothing of it....I just trying to make conversation. I studied history for a short time in my youth. Mainly of my country only. I know nothing of Equestria. I not even knew it existed until just some time ago." Dimitri enjoyed talking about his childhood. The parts that were to be remembered. "I sometimes miss being taught history. Miss my homeland too, but I have a better life here than I would ever have back there."

[dragon4111 914]

Draco's smiled faded and said "We will get her back Dimitri I promise you that," he looked into Dimitri's eyes "As an Irish pony you know we keep our words," Draco said as he held out his hoof for Dimitri to shake. He would help get Fluttershy back. Draco had an idea where to start but needd clues.

(I have an idea what if Fluttershy get's released first because she asked nicely. But Dimitri still travels with the group on Fluttershy's request)

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron nodded.

"If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?"

 

For a second Acheron thought back to his homeland. It was a rather beautiful place, kind of like Equestria though not as large. It was a shame that such a fate had to befall it, and even more shameful were the consequences that came to it...

"Thank you Draco..." Dimitri shook his friend's hoof and smiled slightly. It was reassuring to hear that his wife would be a main focus in the group. He was not in this alone.

 

(I not know about that...his driving force would have been fulfilled if she is returned safely. He probably would not stay with the group if she were to come back. He would be too enthralled in making sure she was okay. He would not want to leave her again.)

 

 

" I from Sovestria. Is far northeast of here. Across the ocean. Was always cold, always snowed. Had a great government. I not think anypony from Equestria had ever come to my homeland. Like I said, I not knew this place existed until I landed here." Dimitri smiled. He loved reminiscing about his country. "It is a much different place now though. Ruled by hate, and power..."

[dragon4111 914]

"No kidding hate of Unicorns alike," Draco said as he pulled out his flask. "Hmm whisky," Draco said as he took only but a sip of it. "Anyhow I think that Celestia is missing as well," Draco said looking in on the throne room. "Huh yeah don't feel her presence,"

(Alright but as I said Maybe Fluttershy would be worried for her friend's safety. So she requests aka uses puppy dog eyes to have Dimitri continue on)

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Sovestria huh? Hm... I recall the name... Wasn't it at first ruled by some rather despicable leaders, the last of which was overthrown during a revolution to make way for a new government that promised equality of status and wealth?"

 

The history of that place had always interested Acheron. It showed the cycle of order and the passion of the people, how they would always seek to destroy orders deemed too abusive to restore their natural rights.

"Is the all mighty majesty not here..?" Dimitri scoffed at her title. Princess, prince, king, dictator. They all seemed the same in his eyes.

 

(He would be heavily conflicted then! XD)

 

 

 

"Overthrown centuries ago for a Communist republic with fairness. Just a few years before I was born a new leader, Lenoy Trotmir, came into power. A unicorn. Which was never seen before because there used to be much hate on the unicorn race. He stopped the discrimation and cruel laws against his people, and it was extremely prosperous. Just two decades ago though it was overthrown again by a dictatorship though. A dictatorship with a hate of Unicorns and magic. The dictatorship brought back the old revoked laws of pogroms against unicorns. Things got really bad. I was just a small colt in the middle of it all...." he stopped himself. He could have discussed more. His position as student of Lenoy, his torture under the dictatorship, but he did not wish to think of such things...

[dragon4111 914]

Draco looked around and saw burn mark and thought to himself "Teleportation forced. Takes powerful magic to Teleport and alicorn. It's mixed with abit of blood," Draco said as he looked at the windows. "And powerful boom took if the plains of glass are any indication," Draco continued to piece together this puzzle in his head. Despite flunking he had an eye for magical spells.

[Demirari 454]

Majestic Bloom was disappointed that Princess Celestia wasn't here, she was excited to meet the Princess mono on tri. But there goes her chance. Then she heard the brief history of the dictatorship. It sounded interesting, but she decided not to record what she had heard. That would be extremely rude of her. She just kept quiet, listening in.

"The cycle of change is always manipulated by those who have the strength and resolution to do so be it for selfish or benevolent means. Regardless, I am sorry to hear that this new regime had to return to your country...."

Acheron remembered well how he had been the cause of several changes in the past. Too many, none of which provided happy endings foraanyone unfortunate enough to live through them...

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

"it is fine. I have left there. Was not much I could do anyway. Being a unicorn has always been a burden to me. Is why I hide my horn. It has caused nothing but death..." Dimitri sighed as he looked up to his forehead. He kept his horn hidden with a spell taught to him from a old friend many years back to avoid being caught and jailed, or killed.

 

"Are the princesses gone or something?" He asked aloud. Dimitri then looked at Draco moving the royal thrones. "Um, what are you doing..?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron examined the throne room, taking special care to analyze the traces of magic left behind from the spell that was apparently used to cause the disappearance of Celestia.

"This was a spell strengthened by the blood of the caster. More like a ritual really, as I doubt the one responsible for this was here directly. Perhaps the guards were not all loyal to her, Dimitri, a blood teleportation ritual like this requires some part of the target as well. Either they provided something like a lock of hair to the perpetrator willingly, or they were controlled to do so. The latter would be reasonable, it would explain why no one noticed the sound of the glass..."

[dragon4111 914]

"Well that's what I was going to say Acheron," Draco said "But you miss one thing. The guards out there aren't the night guard," Draco said as he looked at the guards standing well guard. "They are hiding something," he said as Draco looked at the two guards in golden armor. "Acheron do you have a mind reading spell I can use?"

[Demirari 454]

Majestic Bloom studied the scene interested. She was still a student of magic and was interested in magic, especially teleportation magic. She hadn't grasp the main idea of using teleportation, but maybe listening in on this situation might help her. Though she had to agree with Draco when he said that the guards were hiding something.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"That you can use? I lend my powers to none. Keep your voice down too if you don't want to give away our suspicions," Acheron finished saying with a whisper.

Acheron proceeded to cast an invisibility spell on himself, taking care to use normal magic and not the magic he typically used for... really any situation. That would no doubt frighten or anger the others. Despite his use of normal magic though, there still seemed to be some weird "taint" in his dark green magic aura.

 

The unicorn slowly sneaked up behind the guards before quickly casting a binding spell on both of them. The magic chains seemed to appear as dark tentacles for a microsecond before settling back into dark green magic bonds. The magic slowly tightened, causing pain.

 

"Speak... you know what you've done..."

[dragon4111 914]

The guard began to shake his head. He wouldn't betray his lord. That's when he felt an invisible sword like cut forming around his genitals. "Taalk lest we decide to cause you pain you blight addled moron," Draco said with his Irish accent still going strong.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron levitated the two guards with magic as be tightened the chains around their limbs, necks, and bodies.

 

"Why don't we make them a bit more vulnerable?"

 

In a flash of dark green, the armors of the guards were torn off. On their bodies was a strange insignia.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri stood back slightly as he witnessed the guards be chained, and held down in place. He took several steps back and sat down. He had a blank stare, but his mouth was slightly agape. He saw one of the guards shake his head to Acheron's question, and that did it. "N-No...no., no." he said in a quiet, yet pained tone. It brought back memories, and he began to experience it all over again. He closed his eyes tightly and tried to snap himself out of it. "If they will not talk, then make them talk. I need to find her." Dimitri said harshly. He managed to quell the flashback for the time being.

[dragon4111 914]

When Draco saw the insignia he might have snapped. His blood red magical aura flared higher as his cutting spell went out of control as it slashed one guard which ways and that as he began to breathed shallow breaths. "Where did you get those insignia's or else I will find a spell that will rip your mind appart," Draco said coldly as he glared at the guards.

Majestic Bloom looked at the insignias with interest. Quickly pulling out her notebook, she quickly sketched the insignias. Majestic Bloom was wondering what those insignias mean. She tried to ignore the torture that was happening in front of her, she really disliked torture and she really felt bad for the stallions, no matter whom they were or served.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron scoffed at Draco's words. This unicorn may have had a neat array of cutting spells, but none of it would ever compare to his magic knowledge. Unlike Draco, Acheron actually had spells which could rip someone's mind apart. Something like this was trivial to Acheron though, he could do far worse.

 

"Step aside O'Malley, you're going to do nothing but kill our only source of information thus far!"

 

Acheron shoved on past Draco and walked right up to the exposed and vulnerable guards. The one on the left which Draco had severely hurt was already near death, so Acheron used his magic to maneuver him in front of the other guard. Immediately, Acheron tightened the magic bonds on the nearly dead pony, and the sounds of bones breaking quickly followed. He tossed this guard aside against the wall, his dark green aura showing a bit more taint than before.

 

The unicorn turned his cruel gaze to the final guard.

"Did you see what I just did? I have far worse in store for you if you refuse to cooperate peacefully."

 

Acheron released the bonds on the pony's body and let him dropped to the floor. He was still ready to respond with another spell should the guard try anything stupid.

 

"Now... the insignias... what are they? Where do they come from?"

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Dimitri still sat back. This was getting nowhere it seemed. Also, it was almost as if he was invisible to the others. It did not matter what he said. He was ignored. He scowled and trotted away slowly. He wanted to do something. He hated feeling useless. Especially when it came to his wife. Maybe he could question some of the normal guards around the castle.

[dragon4111 914]

The guard just spat at Acheron he would never betray his lord. Draco slid against a speard slicing part of his back. "I see so goddamn arrogant Acheron," Draco said as he pulled a bandage across his back. "That insignia is that of the Seneschal of light," Draco said "But what we need is location,"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Acheron growled as he looked directly into the eyes of the guard. Unbeknownst to the others, he was giving the guard a small taste ofthe effects of some of Acheron's darker powers. Since the unicorn wasn't using much of a powerful spell or even the full extent of the spell he was using, there was little to no indication that Acheron was doing anything other than staring the guard down. If one looked closely at his eyes however, there were periodic swirls of green and purple flames.

 

"Hm... a family..."

 

The guard's mind was weak enough to where Acheron was able to peer into it with his minor dark spell. He saw flashes of a filly and a mare waiting quietly at home. Since this guard was nothing more than probably just some low ranking, even paid off associate of the ome behind Celestia's and the Six's disappearance, Acheron wasn't really going to do anything to them. He wasted no time into making the guard believe he would though.

 

"Speak guard, or I'll kill you in front of them and even trouble myself of incarcerating them in dungeons where no one will find them..."
