I turn to find a majestic Allicorn was the owner of the voice. "I thought Allicorns were extinct."
"I could say the same about Humans."I could feel her judgemental gaze pierce my very being. "What brings you here Round Table Knight, other than causing my nephew to soil himself."
"My apologies." I kneel before her regality. "He used Forbidden Magic, I was merely defending myself." I lower my head expecting her to stomp my head in, but instead her hoof lifted my head to hers. Her judgemental gaze shifted to sincere and comforting. I found compassion in her deep purple eyes. "You are very beautiful."
"No wait!" Kind Fluttershy raised her voice obviously misunderstanding the situation. "Don't hurt him." I begin to say something but the Allicorn's eyes said play along.
"Why not?" Her tone drasticly shifted to morbid.
"He just ran off, we were all coming here together but he just barged in headstrong."
"Were terribley sorry but we hadn't seen hide nor head of 'im since the entrance,"
"Let him down he means no harm, you will learn he has a certain charm."
"He went poof, I mean not like poof poof, more like whoosh poof, or maybe like a phwoop bloop."
"What happened to him?" Rarity, leaned to the side to see the Unicorn backed into the corner scared shitless. With that the Allicorn and I could no longer keep up the charade and burst out laughing.
"Why are you laughing at me?" I move my hand one inch and he runs for the back door, and I hear this female screaming.
"Was that?"
"Yes, I don't know what is wrong with that colt." The Allicorn shook her head. "Now back to my original question, why are you here Round Table Knight?"
"My apologies but I am only a knight by blood. I came here to ask of you information."
"What kind of information?" A blue Allicorn stood beside her.
"I take it that you are the Princesses of which I have been told."
"Yes."
"My home sits on the plateau overlooking the forest, my question is how it grew overnight?"
"Overnight?"
"Did I say something profound?"
"I regret to inform you but, this is not the time of Knights you are accustomed to."
"Well I gathered that your Highness,"
"What I mean to say is the current date by your calender is November Thirteenth Four-Thousand and Twelve."
"Excuse me Four-Thousand and Twelve?"
"That is correct."
"But it seemed like only a night, wait is Merlin still alive?"
"What does this Merlin look like?"
"Tall, long beard, speaks in riddles,"
"Yes I know of one like that."
"Did he leave anything here?"
"I'm not certain but there is one room that we found in the castle blocked by a very powerful spell, One-Thousand years ago and to this day it has remained sealed, maybe if you could open it you'll find what you are looking for."
"Lead me to this room, I may have the key." She slowly canters through the halls to a room that I had seen only once before, the Round Table Room. I draw my blade and it splits apart Lancelot's Lancer glows blue and the door slides into the floor. "As I thought." I look down into the dark tunnel, the steps descend deep into the mountian. "There's something down there I need." I try to step down onto the staircase but my feet feel glued to the ground.
"Are you crazy, I barely got out of there the last time." Twilight's horn and my greaves were covered in a lavender aura.
"But you didn't have a compass."
"Compass' don't work down there,"
"You didn't have this did you?"
"Well no,"
"These weapons are enchanted, they resonate with my emotions and with each other. If they shine a certain way it's their way of telling me to keep my eyes open."
"Weapons can't talk,"
"Have you never heard of the singing sword?"
"No, I haven't,"
"What would a sword sing?"
"I don't know you'll have to ask him. May I be released to journey into the underneath?"
"You must think we're stupid," Rainbow floated there forelegs crossed.
"Would you like to join me?"
"It's a yes from me, I've heard that many splendid gems line the walls."
"It's gotta be dark down there, and I need to practice night flying."
"Dark," Kind Fluttershy shied away behind Applejack.
"Don't worry none I'm sure Twi'll keep a light on."
"Come on Twilight it'll be fun."
"I don't know if that's a good idea."
"Then it is settled, we descend the stairs."
Each step I took the light grew fainter, as we reached the bottom of the corridor the complete darkness was overrun with a lavender glow. The lighting refracted off of many different gems. I would be captivated by the utter beauty of this moment but something feels off. My sword splits apart and I draw Lancelot's Lancer.
"What's wrong?"
"Shh," I peek around a corner to find strange dog-like creatures. "Loup-Garou," It had been years since I had seen one up close. "Stay here," I slowly creep closer to them.
"Are you sure it's here,"
"Yes I'm sure, the mines are the perfect place to hide valuables,"
"It's scary down here, it's too dark."
"Cease your whining, it is here, we just need to look in the right place," The Alpha Male crouched down on all fours and crawled around. "Ah ha," He reached under a gem and the wall behind the other two lifted. What I saw dropped my jaw, King Arthur's tomb. "We have found it, the gold alone will have us living like kings."
"I cannot let these grave robbers defile my uncle's resting place." I throw a small stone between them.
"What is that?" The brute was jumpier than the frog prince.
"Relax it's just a rock."
"But rocks don't jump at you."
"He's right." I whisper.
"Someone must've thrown it."
"Really what gave you that idea?" The Alpha paused and turned to me.
"Who are you?"
"The owner of this treasure,"
"Really, one monkey could gather all this treasure."
"I can prove it."
"Show us," The Werewolves sharpened their claws and bared their fangs. "If we win we get this treasure, and you come with us."
"And if I win, you agree to do whatever I tell you, whenever I tell you?"
"Agreed,"The Alpha held out his paw.
"Agreed," I take his paw and shake it.
