War Anthologies Part 3 - The Final Alicorn War - The Fall Of The Alicorns · 4:05pm Oct 14th, 2016
For many thousands of years Kray Marbh Depression continued his war against the alicorns. Through this war he had created many different versions of changelings. And as the war went on longer, many species got caught in the crossfires.
At one point leading to the near extinction of the ifrits. The war had to end but how. The great King Heavonos searched for many ways to end the war. But each seemed to fail, as Kray Marbh’s determination seemed to be getting worse. He was getting desperate to win. Yet none could see why.
Soon however Kray Marbh made a fatal mistake. Twenty thousand years before modern times, it happen. He opened up the pit, and released the Demon Emperor, Calavoss. Calavoss was an ancient titan-size demon, whose gluttony knew no bounds. And the one thing he love the most was alicorn flesh. Too late to realize the danger he had unleashed, Kray Marbh was presumed to be eaten as his crushed bones were found near the pit that Calavoss rose from.
After he was released he somehow vanished. Alicorns began to panic when several alicorn remains were found around the continent. All the alicorns wondered and feared. How was he able to move so fast without being seen.
They knew it wasn’t teleportation, or lightning speed. It had to be something else. They endlessly searched as more alicorns were found dead, and mostly eaten. The monster was slowly eating the species away.
This prove to be even more of a problem when the newest heirs of the crown were born. From Prince Helios and his wife, were born two alicorn fillies. A filly with a pink mane, like her mother, and a white coat like her father, Princess Celestia, and another filly with a light blue mane like her father, and a blue coat like her mother, Princess Luna. From KIng Emerald Teal and his wife, was born a colt, with pink coat and gold mane, Golden Williams. There was even talk that Emerald Teal planned to have another foal.
Though strangely enough there was no heir to be born from Princess Sapphire Amethyst. Some had noticed her closeness to King Dracos Ryulong. But she kept saying there was nothing more than friendship between them.
As for Queen Chrystal Laylis’s brother, Morpheus Morningstar. He refuse to take another bride, with his beloved Cassandra Eveningstar still in a deep sleep from sickness. In doing so he could not produce an heir.
With this demon Calavoss moving around, killing alicorns, the royals took it upon themselves to band together and ensure that these new heirs grew well and strong. In doing so the teaching began.
Morpheus and Redsting took up the job of training the heirs as they grew. Morpheus taught them certain magics. While Redsting taught them weaponry and fighting styles. Soon after a decade of training, it became apparent that alicorn knowledge alone would not be enough to help them. And although Redsting himself was not an alicorn, King Heavonos had trouble around the idea of having him take more command over the heirs. It was a strange feeling of danger that was always felt around Redsting.
So it was decided to get a teacher that was outside the crown. They looked throughout the list until they came across the wizard name Starswirl. He was a young unicorn, that had stayed, when the other main lines equines left thousands of years ago. He would prove useful.
However as they made contact with the unicorn, dreadful news had been heard as Calavoss had attacked the main castle. It seemed training would have to wait.
As the crown returned, they found the castle in ashes. Redsting, who was watching the heirs with Morpheus, was badly wounded. While Morpheus and the heirs were missing. Redsting told them that Morpheus had disappeared before the attack and that Calavoss had grabbed the children.
They were all worried, and had to do something, but how. They couldn’t track the creature. All of them were indeed worried, but Dracos was worried for another. It made no sense to him. Why did Calavoss choose to ponynap the children, rather than straight up eat them? Why would he suddenly change his way? And where was Morpheus? Dracos knew Morpheus well, and spoke out on how his brother-in-law would never do such a thing, as to abandon the heirs.
The crown though could not worry on why, or where Morpheus left to. They were more worried about the heirs. As they worried, Starswirl showed up for the interview to teach the heirs. He saw their worry, and questioned why.
As they told him, they were surprise he had actually been studying a way to track Calavoss. He told them how Calavoss always seemed to send of a large amount of chaos magic every time he appeared. And if they had a way to track that, then they could find the heirs.
All there eyes widened at this. They had nothing to track chaos magic, but they did have something that could control harmony magic. The Elemental Star. A large stone that acted like a compass to harmony.
Starswirl used a reverse spell on it so it could track chaos magic. With the stone now tracking Calavoss’s movements, they soon found the beast and the heirs.
A great battle ensued against the monster. The crown, Redsting and Starswirl against the beast. During the long fought battle though, the Elemental Star was cracked open. Seeing twelve gems within it, the crown, used the power of these gems to banish Calavoss to the deepest pit of Tartarus. Nearly ten thousand years before modern time, Calavoss was defeated.
Indeed the gems were powerful, but their was a danger of somepony wielding all of them. So King Heavonos proposed that the gems be equally split between the crown members. And that the name of their group be changed to the Order Of Harmony.
The twelve gems were separated among the six royals, two for each. To Prince Helios Quartz, was given, the Element of Loyalty, and the Element of Friendship. To his wife, Nala Lapis was given, the Element of Laughter, and the Element of Honesty. To King Emerald Teal, was given, the Element of Generosity and the Element of Courage. To his wife Queen Chrystal Laylis was given, the Element of Love and the Element of Hope. To King Dracos was given, the Element of Selflessness and the Element of Honor. And to Sapphire Amethyst was given the Element of Forgiveness and the Element of Kindness.
After the Elements were presented the them, they were all hit by a great vision. It revealed that there was a great evil among them. An evil that would corrupt and destroy all.
Upon that King Heavonos commanded that the Element Wielders would have meetings for peace and war, within a place neutral to all, the Sky Sanctuary. However as they began their first meeting, they began to ponder on who this great evil was among them. King Emerald Teal pose that it was the still missing Morpheus Morningstar. Yet King Dracos went defensive about his brother-in-law Morpheus. King Dracos pose that it might be Redsting, but both Helios Quartz and Emerald Teal were against such words. Soon though it was settled that none of them knew who this great evil was.
In doing so this day would soon bring an ever so small crack between the Element Wielders. Too small to be noticed by most, but it was just big enough for a certain demonic centipede to crawl through……………

YES! FINALLY!
I've been looking forward to this just as much as I've been looking forward to Sister Location! Thank you for making my day!
4255607 I'm glad you like it. Sorry this one took me so long, the second half was really hard to get just right. Truth be told I had the first half done since last month, it was mostly the second half that stop me from the posting near the beginning of the Month. That and some other stories I was working.
Speaking of which have you check out my latest story, The Reason For A Name. It's base in the same universe as these blogs, and gives a first glimpse of one of the main villains of my universe.

I'm glad that you got it the way you wanted... Overall, I find it great and very enjoyable...
However, you might want to spell check and re-read it a second time, because I noticed a few grammar issues...
Nothing big, though...
Keep it up, my good friend!
4255631 Makes sense, I mean these blogs are purely me, I try my best not rely on a Proofreader when writing these. Plus my main proofreader has been busy as of lately with crazy stuff going on around her, so I couldn't even rely on her help with my latest story.
Which is extremely annoying because this month has been filled with massive ideas for new stories, both solo stories and stories that expanding my universe. In fact I'm writing a one shot right now about Thorax and how his newest form fits into my universe.

Sweet! Can't wait to see it!
And for all your hard work, enjoy a ICE meme
