The Return of the Beastmaster

by God-Of-Toasters

Neigh-Sunbon

The city of Neigh Sunbon was a pillar to eternity. Towers and temples to the princes and princesses of Central Hippoborea littered the skyline, as crude statues forged by unicorn magic and their earth pony servants littered the streets. As far as the city stretched, so did the unbelievable levels of devotion to the uncaring gods. Festivals were held almost every day to call the sun back to the Ages of Legends, but ultimately, they were futile.

As Bronze Tusk approached this town, something seemed off. It was as if some sort of great evil dwelt there, waiting for the exact moment when a dark haired, muscular, greenish Earth Pony would come running into the town and demand information for who this strange Beastmaster fellow is and why he wants to return, and then strike. Maybe it was the insane levels of revelry sounding from every imaginable square in the city, maybe it was the overly grinning statues of their saints and servants, and maybe, just maybe, it was that there was someone up on a tower of a formerly occupied palace proclaiming:
“THE BEASTMASTER HAS RETURNED!”
It didn’t really matter, because the town was on fire anyways.

Atop the palace was a mare draped in ceremonial robes. She was a Unicorn, as were most of the residents of this tumultuous town, and was chanting strange prayers to the gods of the past. Each word she said seemed to cause another sort of flame, channeling her power into these strange syllables of Fell Fire. Oddly appropriate considering that was her name. Bronze Tusk, sword in mouth, attempted to dodge the eldritch missiles and find out who this person was, but was unable to scale the wall, and was trampled by the fleeing cityfolk.
