Day 340

I was Flying over equestria with the other lords and pupa we were all in beast from being guided by a squad of pegasi in blue and yellow jumpsuits. It took a while when we had gotten close I saw a good sized Caribou army standing on one side of the canyon ready and waiting. The ponies look at me uneasy as they gauged my reaction but I saw the play for what it was and smiled. I coated my self in crystal dust letting it fall off my body coating the entire army as we flew over head before landing in the center of the canyon windy. I dusted my self as I looked around to see a giant tent surrounded by several pony guards I in unfamiliar sunset red and purple armor. We walked inside to find Celestia, Twilight, and a white unicorn with a blond mane sitting in the middle of a large round table all three them had looks of restrained disgust pointed directly at the large scarred Caribou wearing a gold crown and runic armor that was casually fondling a beautiful green mare wearing a purple and gold collar while a griffoness and a changeling wearing similar collars. He looked directly at me and smiled before switching his target to the changeling and seemed slightly unnerved when none of us gave a reaction leaving the room silent.

"So Celestia are you going to introduce me to our new friend." I said sitting down and kicking back with a smile.

"Right Drasa this is emperor of the Caribou-"

"Dainn." The caribou said laying back as he interrupted Celestia a look of superiority on his face as he stared at me with an air of superiority behind his eyes.

"Well then Dainn-"

"Emperor Dainn you don't have the right to address me without my title vermin."

"Find then king Dainn we came to talk peace so shall we." I said smiling trying to seem friendly since it seemed easier to make this treaty than destroy the entire caribou empire. So I ignored his comment and just relaxed and let my auras slip out slowly as I leaned at the table. "Isn't that right Celestia."

"That's right Drasa, so Dainn please behave so we can progress quickly. Because I believe we all have something better we could be doing." Celestia said laying back in her chair with a cool collected gaze as I nodded and Dainn dismissed his slaves before giving a both of us a sharp glare and his full attention.

"Very well I'll entertain this silly notion for now." Dainn said laying back in his own chair.

"Wait a second didn't you call this meeting?"

"Why would I fear or care about vermin like you or the little territory to clamed?" Dainn smiled chuckling to himself. "Honstly I just to take the chance to squash to bugs before I take you lands for myself but I'm slightly curious what Celestia thinks peace between us would look like." Dainn raised the glass of wine next to him taking a sip as he looked around watching Celestia, twilight, and the third pony who looked furious.

"Interesting, then I guessing that small army outside is just for me." I started to laugh before I full let my aura run wild causing the unicorn in the room to start foaming at the mouth before fainting while everyone else I was looking at started to pale looking at me like is was a monster. "Well then, I must say your severely underestimating my abilities." I got up and snapped my fingers "Velger. Emperor Dainn has ushered a challenge it would be rude of me not to reply." Velger chuckled to herself before her horn light up and she teleported us all in front Of Dainn's army leaving everyone confused while I readied some sticky sludge. "Now watch carefully Dainn so you can prepare if I feel like reducing your empire to ashes." I shot our a torrent of sludge covering the front line of the army and pooling under the rest of it leaving them trapped. I watch them struggle for a second before I shot out a small fireball that ignited the sludge. I was sure their scream could be heard for miles as they were being burned alive it was an irritating sound but they smelled divine. I used my tail to grab one of the caribou solders and started eating tearing out his throat first so I didn't have to hear his voice as I tore his perfectly cook flesh from his bones. "What are you waiting for dig in." I said after finishing up my first as I reached for a second solder. Elytra snuffed out my flames allowing the others to charge forward tearing into what was left until their was nothing, only broken bones and scraps of metal remaining. "Well Dainn did you enjoy the show?" I ask turning to find we were alone. "Well I guess the negotiations are over."

"So are we going to take Caribou territory?" Buzzelga asked before popping bone shard into his mouth an wiping the bloody drool from his maw.

"I would hope to think so they would make good livestock to raise and eat." Velger said before biting into a head she was holding like it was a fresh apple lapping up the blood, brain and bone that fell from her treat.

"You have a good point Velger. Very well we'll give them two months to get ready then we can have our fun." I said before changing into my beast form and taking off with the others followings as we flew home working off our meal to find our castle full of holes and bleeding torrents of our corruption out on to the island which was shifting wildly. Everything was a storm of chaos as the flora and fauna evolved quickly and started to compete with each other for dominance making it to dangerous for the hive to flourish. I flew up high above the island taking a deep breath as I climbed until I could easily target the whole island. I used my magic to create several lenses while compressing my hellfire until I felt it's heat start to melt the crystal around my vents and some of my teeth then I let lose, firing down into the lenses I bathed the entire island in a hellish purple light. White ash and cooling rock dominated the island with the sound of steam filling the silence. I descended catching my breath and spitting out my melted teeth as Elytra flew next to me and said one thing.

"We're taking their territory tomorrow."
