The worst teaser ever in the history of teasers · 3:54pm Mar 16th, 2017
The lane was very narrow, no wider than a wagon. This was an old place in Canterlot, with exquisite, graceful towers packed together like trees in a forest. The cobblestones were dark grey, with glittering speckles, made from some stone that Flicker did not know or recognise. Turning his head, he focused on the tower at the end of the lane, where the tunnel was. It was tall, square in shape, and quite old looking. It was surrounded by a wall on three sides, a tall wall with spikes protruding upwards. The front was closed off with a wrought iron fence, also spiked.
Something about the tower made Flicker’s blood run cold, but that did not deter him. He moved, a strange four legged bird cloaked in dark and shadow, leaving behind a trail of filth from the sewer. It was quiet here, a strange quiet, and the birds were not chirping. No ponies could be seen in any of the tiny yards.
This place seemed as lifeless as the sewers.
Unseen by Flicker, unseen by mortals, several figures stepped out of the shadows. One was a zebra whose mane was a mass of writhing, reaching, ropey dreadlocks. The second was an alicorn stallion, pale in colour, and his gaunt face held a deathly pallour. His cutie mark was a shattered, broken hourglass. The third figure, the largest and most dangerous looking of the three, was matte black with pale white dapples. His cutie mark was an intact, whole hourglass, filled with a moving mass of sand that shifted up and down in constant motion.
As the companions moved down the lane, with Flicker in the lead, the unseen trio drew nearer. The unseen zebra turned away, an expression of intense pain upon her face, and she squeezed her eyes shut when the large, black alicorn stallion drew his primary feathers over Flicker’s throat as he passed. Flicker had no reaction to the touch he did not feel.
The same happened to Piper, but so focused was she, so eager to follow Flicker, that she walked right through the massive, black wing with white dappled feathers. When Hennessy was touched, the earth pony colt paused for a moment and shuddered, as if experiencing some chill. He did not remain still for long though, and hurried after his friend as the dark black alicorn stallion allowed his primaries to trail along Hennessy’s spine.
The last touched was Doctor Sterling, and the alicorn that looked as though he was made from the night and stars lingered for a time on the good doctor. The zebra’s eyes opened and she looked at him, her eyes pleading, sad, there was an eternity of sadness in those eyes. When no response was made, she looked away, unable to watch.
And then, his eyes focused on the tower, Flicker pulled open the gate…
- What does it mean?
I know what it means but I shall be quiet. But I am sure it won't be long until we all reach the point that everyone else does.
Ooohh.. They're ba-a-a-a-ack!
edit : no, wait. I'm thinking of the three sisters. Dangit, I'm getting the 'verses confused. Note to self - no posting on websites while sick.
...WHY DID I READ THIS!? I SAW THE TITLE!
Truly, the worst teaser. I'm sure those immortals are Death, because I know Lima Bean is. Although that moving hourglass must mean something, considering his accomplice has a broken one. I'm hopeful to think it's Life but that's probably not it.
4458637 I'm guessing a Sterling moment this way comes.
