//------------------------------// // The Fate of the Sinner // Story: Bloodline of Flames // by Camlio //------------------------------// Okay after a while on my butt doing nothing I've finally gotten the drive to add some new chapters. There will also be a minor format change. I will no longer jump to different perspectives. If you want the other sides then let me know and I'll write some sub-chapters. Until then this with stay with Camlio's Perspective. "The man without sin may walk through the valley of death without fear. But, what if these sins were forced upon the man?" -Episode Five, The Fate of the Sinner- I do not own the rights to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic or anything else I may reference. Which is cool because of the fact with how easily I get distracted it would be 2014 before season 3 came out. "Urghhh... why do my eyes burn? Damn, it feels like I've been out for three days." I said as I tried to stand. Only to realize my legs were chained to a glowing shackle in the floor but, that wasn't what worried me. "What the hell happened to my legs?!" (I admit I freaked out a bit... but, what would you do if your legs suddenly sported a coat of dull brown fur?) "I see that you are awake. I'm sorry about this..." A voice said as the door to the cell opened. Revealing the face of my harbinger of death. The Princess who started this whole mess. Luna. "I see you've noticed the changes. I'm afraid for the sake of everypony my sister forced you to ingest an experimental serum. I was originally developed to help creatures like the young drake Spike. Who are more of a pony then their own race adapt into our society by making them Equine." Her face showed that she really didn't want to say this next part. "Sadly, your body isn't adjusting to it... and I'm afraid that... unless you find some way to adjust your body... you'll die." She said sadly it was obvious why. She felt guilty, knowing she brought me here. "So that's it huh? My grand adventure? I'm here less than a week and I'm dead? That sucks..." I said bitterly. "It's not like I can be some kinda time lord and regenerate." The look on Luna's face was as if she was suppressing the biggest squeal of her life. "No... Your kidding? I can do that?" She nodded and placed her horn to my head. "Sadly for this to work I'll need to send you somewhere... back in time. You won't be you anymore. You'll remember... but, you'll never be human again. Forced to live eternally never dieing. A spirit of magic." She said softly. "Do you still wish me to proceed?" I simply nodded. "Hell, what do I have to lose?" With those words my fate was sealed. "Your path begins here sinner. May your quest for redemption go smoothly." A voice called out as darkness fell around me my world fading into a kaleidoscope of colors then I felt myself hit the ground with a thud. In a Cell... Again... Joy. Cold, wet, and dark. That's the best way to describe what I felt as I came too. A dungeon once again but, not the same place. "Something's off..." I said with a sigh as I managed to stand and take in my surroundings, this dungeon seemed more heavily used that the one before. The stones were more organic and functional than the other dungeon's marble walls. "If I'd have to guess... Ye' Olde Siblings palace." I said with a British that I'd actually been suppressing until now. "Thine guess is correct strange beast!" The royal caps lock blast belonged to a different Alicorn than I was used to. A stallion from what I could tell. "Tell me creature! Whom doth thou serve? Be it Discord?! Speak when addressed beast! Ye stand before King Cosmos ward of space and time!" I dropped to a knee. "Your majesty, I know not why I am here. Nor why I am imprisoned. Please tell me what year is this?" Thank you Odin Sphere and Drama club... "Tis the year 257 of the rule of Discord! How doth thou not know this? He looked at me confused. But, as I got a look at him I noticed he was heavily injured. His horn and wings were missing. Kinda easy to notice that we were both on the same side of the cell doors alongside a female alicorn who looked heavily pregnant. Wow... this is a long ways back. "I see... I'm a long way from my home then. Forgive me your majesty but, I believe I've had my fill of dungeons for today... ARGH! What the bloody hell?!" My body started to convulse and spasm. My heart felt like it was tearing itself out of my chest and then with a sharp pain and a cracking sound. Everything went black. 22 hours later. I awoke to the sounds of a crying foal. Apparently the mare had gone into labor during my time of incapacitation. The filly in her hooves was a noble white. With a soft pink mane and tail. I had just met Celestia's parents. But, apparently I was the hot subject as I started to stir. "What? Something the matter?" They both nod and point at me. "How didst thou perform such a miraculous change? Thine entire body is different." The mare said obviously to tired to used the royal caps lock. I hopped to my feet and decided to do as I saw the Good doctor do on TV. Take inventory in a comical fashion. "Right, two legs. That's good. Oh hooves." I said while making a show of picking up my legs and staring at the bottoms of my feet. "Hooves on the feet. More equine than last time I believe." I said with a smile before looking at my rump and the tail behind it. "Oh I'm loving the orange fur, very nice. Is that? Yes! My tail and mane are made of Fire! Fancy that?!" I said while waving my hands through the dancing cyan flames that strangely enough didn't burn me. Perhaps I still maintained my earlier immunity to heat? "Oh still have hands lovely. I'm absolute rubbish without fingers." I waved the fingers about to make sure there were all there. Satisfied that they were I continued my inspection. "Equine snout with herbivore teeth. No meat then? Hmm... Suppose I'll have to get used to that. But, anyways." I clapped my hands together with a smile. "What were we talking about?" To be continued... Betcha didn't see this coming did you? Well whatever. I'm tired... I'll see you all next chapter...
