//------------------------------// // Love And Blood // Story: A Good Share of Lives // by Sea Pony //------------------------------// Winter Song Note: I know what you're thinking, why the hay is there suddenly a update with more than 5k words? Well the answer is simple, this is the 100th chapter I posted in the Shareverse, so to celebrate this I made a chapter 2½ time the lenght of an usual chapter. This will probably be the last time I celebrate how many chapters I made in this universe. The next bonus things I will do will be simply because I want to do it. I took a deep breath of air as I contently lay in the cold snow, I had a winter coat to protect me from the cold of course, I can resist cold more than most ponies because of my powers but I’m not immunized to it. I didn’t care if somepony saw my messy mane. After being in my room for almost five days it’s felt extremely good to finally have fresh air. Three days ago I had reach the peak of my heat as my mom call it, it wasn’t pretty, none of my family or friends came to see me all week. As soon as they saw the flower mom had put on the door they walked away from the cottage. I had saw these pinks flowers everywhere during summer and spring but I had never understood their meaning t’ill today. The effects of the heat where now cooling down but where still present, I was still feeling uncomfortable but I could get away from the strange stick without going mad. I lazily watch the cloud, it wouldn’t be long before aunt Dash and her team would clear them so I’m better to enjoy them while they where still here to watch. ...Okay watching clouds can get boring really quickly when your alone to watch them. My boredom was broken when my ears suddenly perk up as I heard hoofsteps coming this way. I was about to call mom for her to greet the pony, but something quickly caught my attention about him. Firstly the ponies was wearing a ridiculously big coat made of wool as if we were in the frozen north, I know it is winter but come on! They must have shave at least five sheeps to make this thing! Secondly the colt was ramping on the ground as if he was Solid Mane. And finally the colt was humming a song as if he was in a action movie. I resist the urge to facehoof at the display, one more reasons why fillies are better than colts, we don’t need to pretend to be in a imaginary world to be awesome. As the colt came close I could now clearly see the colors of his tail which was blonde with a pink stripe. ``Bolero? What the hay are you doing playing like a six year colt in the snow?`` The pony instantly froze as he heard my voice. ``Ah was... Making sure there wasn’t too much snow covering the road for y’all so ya don’t have to be late if something happen.`` He said with wide forced grin, I raise a eyebrow at him. ``You’re almost as worse as aunt Applejack when you try to lie you know that?`` The colt sigh in disapointement as his ‘clever’ lie was ruined. His eyes shoot up in alarm as he saw me wince. Oh buck the weird feeling is coming back, I need to get this conversation out the way quickly. ``Are ya alright? Ah know your in estrus ah know it’s horrible for y’all the girls, ah through ya would be in yer room for all week t’ill the cycle pass.`` ``Tu sais a propos de sa?! If you know I’m in heat why the buck are you here? Mom told me you can go in jail if you go visit a girl in heat at her home!`` I shout in panic. ``I know it’s dangerous but I wanted to make a apology for making fun of your crush while you where in heat it’s must been hard for you.`` I had totally forgot about that, I mean I clearly remember kissing Golden Pie but I almost didn’t remember when he was makng fun of my crush. ``It’s okay Bolero, I should really go home I’m not feeling so well right now.`` As if to prove a point I wince as the strange tingling feeling course through my body again. Bolero look at me worriedly. ``Ok ah guess ya need to attend to yer urges, I will see ya at school next week.`` With that the colt gallop back at Sweet Apple Acres. I also quickly trot to my house, once inside I put my coat on a chair. ``You’re arleady home sweetie?`` I quickly nod, she saw the impacient look on my face and quickly got out of the way before I rushed in my room. My nose wrinkle at the smell that welcome me but I had no time to think of that as I rush in the bed and grab the vibrating stick. - - - - - - Titiritero eye twitch at constent sound of a foal crying, he should have wait at night and just ran to Ponyville with his vampony powers, but Phoebe would have expect him to make a move at night it was too risky. That why he decide to take a train to Ponyville, unfortunately that mean that he had to mingle with dirty mortals and their anoying sounds and smell. If he had his power he would arleady transform all these useless foals in ghouls, they weren’t much more cleaner than these smelly ponies but at least he hadn’t to endure their useless emotions. ``Shhh, don’t worry honey the mister just look scary he isn’t dangerous.`` The mother tried to reasure her foal. Not dangerous him?! He was Muerto Titiritero of course he was dangerous! He had conquer Griffonya for the elders sake! Sure he was defeated by this bitch of a Queen five years after his reign began, but still! Not too soon enough the train arrive to his destination: Ponyville. There could be worse place to go, like Cloudstale or Canterlot, this town was mainly Earth ponies, even if Unicorns and Pegasi were a fairly common sigh in this town. Titiritero despise every race except the Earth ponies, the Pegasi think they are at the top of the world when they are the weakest of the three main races, the Unicorns want to follow useless bloodlines and traditions as if it would give them anything, if they were vamponies it would signify something to keep a pure bloodline, but as Unicorns they where still dirty and useless mortals. Oh and don’t even get him start on the Alicorns! At least the Earth ponies knew their place under the rule of the one who command. When he will gain the throne the only race he will keep alive will be them the other races even as ghouls would be a waste of his precious time. Finally the vampony got out of the train the bright sun of Celestia, which was reflecting on the snow to make the matter worse, almost burned his eyes as he got out of the train. He began his slow trot in the town, quickly he notice that everypony gave him weird looks, some even snickered. He narrow his eyes and look what was so funny, he realise that the ponies were laughing at his cape. How dare they! No calm yourself Titiritero play it cool and don’t bring too much attention to yourself, he through to himself. He quickly lost his bitter look and put his persona he had creat for himself all these years ago. ``Hey there hot chickitas here in Ponyville! I’m sure my friend Disco would like all of you especially you! You look so cute lady!`` Roseluck blush furiously from her enchanted green house as she notice she was watched from everypony in town. ``Hey I was wondering you seem to sell plants do you sell the special kind?`` He ask before he fell on the ground like a drunk stallion after a big party. The ponies gave the random stallion a disaproving look before continuing to trot on their way. The vampony smirk at himself, sure he had bring attention to himself but now they would quickly forget about him since they through he was somepony less than respectable. When nopony paid attention to him anymore he quickly sprunk on his hooves and ran in direction of Sweet Apple Acres. But before he could reach his goal, somepony jump from a rooftop just in front of him, she was a mare with a sand colored coat and bright green eyes and her mane was aqua blue. All in all she seem beautifull but he had not time to waste with a useless female. Titiritero quickly notice that atop of her head was a glowing yellow gem. So she was a player, that mean nopony would even bat an eyelash if he where to kill her. ``Muerto Titiritero, as a member of the Moon Fangs I order you to come see my mistress Nightmare Moon or perish by my blade.`` The Earth pony mare drew a sword with her mouth in direction of the vampony with a determine expression. ``Not even ten minutes in town and somepony is arleady threatening me? I think I’m becoming too old for this.`` He sigh as if he was sad to have to fight the young mare, the player knew that the vampony was a backstabber she wouldn’t fall for his miserable act. ``Yes you are grandpa, now follow me without a fuss so I don’t have the death of a elder on my consciense.`` Titiritero lift his head smilling like a madman at the young mare before opening his mouth to large spiritual balls shot out of his mouth. The player eyes widden as she jump to left and escape the first shot and then place her sword in face of her to block the second ball. As soon as the projectile touch her sword she lost her grip and her trusted weapon was sent flying in the sky. The ball miss her by an inch and came crashing down on the house of Bonbon. The player was sent flying at it’s turn as the house explode in pieces. Before she could touch the ground a hoof grab her like a snake and befores she could understand what was happening she was biten in the neck. She let a loud shriek more in surprise than pain, since she couldn’t feel anything, before she explode in electronic shards. The vampony gasp for air after his prey was dead. He had use too much energy on her, when in the sun his powers where really limited. The ponies in town began to panic as they heard the explosion, everypony began to leave town to wait in hope that thing would calm down. The undead stallion cursed when he saw that his cape lost a good part of it’s magical glow, this cape was enchanted to give him the power he had when he was in the dark. Without it he would be more harmless than a simple Earth pony. The vampony froze as he heard a familiar cold voice behind him. ``Titiritero arroguant as always, you think you can simply waltz in town and destroy the houses of my future subjects? Not only that but you killed a member of my guild This player was there only to send a message and you kill her without a second through. You are walking into thin ice arleady try to not make it worse the next time, If you have the chance to have a next time.`` The undead pony spun around and came face to face with the body of Fleur de Lis. ``Nightmare Moon, I think you’re the arroguant here. I’m the one that gave you this body if I was to kill it you wouldn’t have anypony else to find a new one. You would wander endlessly without a goal because unlike other sparks you can’t create a body for yourself, that what happen when you are the failed experiment of a princess of the night.`` Nighmare Moon growl at him. ``But I feel generous today so I will give you a chance, join me and together we will kill Discord. You know he would only give you a small part of his kingdom if he was to win. He know he is more powerfull than us, but together you and me can easily take him down. Especially now that I have put a curse on him limiting his magic to almost half to what he had before. His body will soon collaps his magic is not enough to substain a body that powerfull he is at our complet mercy right now! You would be insane to not take my offer Nightmare, isn’t it what you always dreamed of? Eternal night I aprove of it! The ponies will be force to love your night and it will give me unlimited power!`` Nightmare moon at the pitifull attempt of the vampony she couldn’t help it. ``Titiritero you clearly don’t know me at all. I don’t care about eternal night, that was Luna dream I just tried to help her in a extreme way. No what I want is to come back in Luna body where I was born, I want my family back! Even if I’m force to make them like me I will come back home!`` The undead stallion look at her confused. ``How does bringing the alicorns down from their thrown will help you to coming back into Luna? Can’t you just go into her body like you did for Fleur?`` The mare gave him a deadpan look. ``Just when I through you couldn’t be more stupid, you can’t simply enter in the body of a Alicorn they are way too powerfull they need to let you in themself. So I will help Discord playing his game and he will take down the alicorns, the two princesses will see their kingdom fall and crumble in front of them they will become desperated to overthrow the tyrant. But then Discord will throw the elements when the bearer will have pass the time limit and then.Their last hope of winning will be destroyed before them, without a single defence to protect their subjects they will try to find a new possible way to defeat him. That when I come in, I will make a deal with Luna to help her overthow Discord with my power she will easily defeat him and I will finally be home once again!`` Nigthmare moon laugh, she could arleady see her victory in front of her. ``So you want to side with the alicorns? It’s seem I can’t ally myself with you then, I will conquer this country on my own! But I can’t have you going freely like that, since you’re here in front of me I will not wast time, I will kill you!`` The undead stallion took a defensive stance in front of the mare. ``Good because I had the intention to provoke you in duel anyway, but a fight without rules is way more interesting.`` The horn of the white mare glowed as she prepare to cast her first spell. - - - - - - Twenty minutes ago A few hours after I had take care of... My problem, I had feel asleep. I was rudely woke up by the pounding of a hoof on my door. I slowly trot to the door and open it with a yawn. Mom was there in front of my door, she put a awkward smile as she look at my messy state I was in. ``Winter your sister said to me that Golden Pie is coming home in a few minutes, I think you should go take a bath.`` My eyes got wide at the new. ``Couldn’t you told me that sooner!?`` I scream in panic, I couldn’t let Golden see me like this! ``Well I tried to but you were sleeping like a foal.`` My mother said guiltily tracing circles with her hoof. Without another word I gallop to the bathroom. As I enter the bathroom I didn’t notice a small puddle of water and I imediatly slip into the bath and slam my face into the cold bath. ``Oh my goodness Winter Song, are you alright?!`` My mother voice ask from upstair. ``Yes mom! I will be okay... Je pense.`` I shood the diziness away before making myself a bath. I let out a sigh as I let my body sink in the warm water below me. I immerse my head into the water and open my eyes. The water was just high enough to engulf my entire head. Since I was young I always felt good in the water a little how Meek Sky always fell at home with a bon fire. I think it’s have something to do with our magic. When my body was begining to plead for air I return my head to the surface. The water got out of my ears just in time to hear the sound of knocking outside of the house. My eyes widden in panic and I took the shampoo and pour it on my coat and on my mane. I dive once again in the water and quickly took the towel and rub most of the water out, then I got out of the bathroom, with the towel on my back, to greet our guest, I was probably not completeley clean and with all the water in my coat I must have look messy as hay, but at least I wasn’t smelly. I open the door with a sheepish smile but the smile drop down as I saw that my foalhood crush was with her father Soarin. Golden Pie look at her father with a disaproving look as she saw him glaring at me. ``Dad you should talk with miss Fluttershy while I talk with Winter.`` Soarin open his mouth to reply but close it and simply decide to talk to the shy Pegasus. I notice Golden look at me with a blush as she look at my dripping mane. I awkwardly tried to get her attention elsewhere. ``So... You wanted to tell me something?`` My question seem to snap her out of her trance and she smile sheepishly back at me. ``I think we should go to the living room.`` I nod and motion her to follow me. As we sat on the couch I look awkwardly around as if I didn’t know the place by heart. ``Your cousin Bolero told me why you kissed me.`` I freeze instantly, that traitor! How could he tell her about my crush! ``I can explain!-`` ``I feel bad for not seeing the signed that you were in heat. I’m sorry I guess I was too happy to see a pony related to my heroes I didn’t think of your personal space.`` She said worryingly looking at me. ``What?! I mean sure, I forgive you.`` I said holding back a sigh of relief. A bright smile cross her lips and she pounce on me and gave me a bone crushing hug as she squeal in joy. ``Ok I’m done with it!`` Said loudly the father of the young teenager. ``Golden Pie! Don’t you see she’s playing innocent with you?! Everypony in town know that she’s a filly fooler! She’s trying to gain your trust so she can try to turn you like her!`` He turn at me glaring harshly. ``You! Don’t you think I don’t know about your little game, you think you fool everypony with your amnesiac act? I know you’re faking it as if you could really forget you are-`` ``Dad stop you’re scaring her!`` The teenager cried pointing at my trembling form. ``Oh stop this do you really believe she would simply be scare to this point for my screaming?!`` I didn’t heard anything of what they said after this as memories came flooding at me. ``Come on sea pony I want to see you swim.`` The drunk stallion said laughing like a mad colt. ``Ahhhhh! Let me go! Let me go! I told you I’m not a sea pony it’s just a nickname!`` ``Yeah right, come on I just want to see you swim!`` The stallion said, impatently he decide to acelerate the process by throwing me in the river. ``Ahhh-`` My screams where drown as soon as I touch the water, I tried to swim back to the the surface but the water was working agaisnt all my effort. I let a final muffle scream as I saw a big rock on my path. I open my eyes with a start just before I touch the rock in my memories and I was really not proud of what came next. Soarin and Golden both took a step back from me as they saw a puddle of yellow liquid forming around my curled up body. The silence was broke as glass shattered on the floor. My mother upon seeing the scene of the screaming stallion and me being scare let her tea cup splattered on the floor. Her face became as red as a tomatoe as pure anger flood through her vein. ``Soarin go out of my cottage right now.`` She said in a cold hatred. ``You knew about her phobia of stallions and you dared come in my house screaming at her like a stupid kid! Get out of my house you’re not welcome here anymore!`` The stallion began to shake as Fluttershy use the stare on him. He ran to the exit tail between his leg. Fluttershy then glare at the teenager who shrunk instantly. The gaze on the mother instantly got softer at seeing her. ``Golden Pie you can stay with my daughter if you want or go with your father it’s up to you-`` Fluttershy was interupt as a loud explosion shook the entire town. ``Oh my goodness! This explosion came from Bonbon house! What’s happening?!`` Fluttershy wings flare up in alarm. - - - - - - The explosion instantly woke up a certain knight of the council from her slumber. As soon as she could Phoebe cast a light orb in her palm, after a few seconds the orb became red like blood. She narrowed her eyes at that new. ``Vampony magic in Ponyville, but why would he come here when the sun is still up?`` Not time to think about this, she trhough to herself. She cast her spiritual wings on her back and flew out of the window. The cold wind of winter immediately greeting her, Finding Titiritero was extremely easy, not only because the fool had put his magic everywhere, but also because the smoke rising from the detroyed home was a clear indication of where he was. Phoebe land loudly on the roof of a small house, in the streets bellow her she saw two ponies facing each other. The first one was her target the vampony who she had swear to kill. The other was a tall and beautifull mare with draconic eyes. From her source this mare was the leader of the Moon Fangs. Something quickly caught the eyes of Phoebe, the cape on the vampony was enveloped by a magical aura. The high elf instantly knew this was the reason he was able to use magic even through the sun was out. She took a knife in her hands and put light magic into it before throwing it at the undead stallion. The stallion ears perk up at the sound of the knife singing as the wind dance on it. He quickly made a backflip just in time to escape the knife. Unfortunately for him his cape wasn’t so lucky and was transpersed by the enchanted knife. ``Oh bucking bitch!`` The vampony curse as his cape fade from existence as the ligh magic began to destroy the dark energy put on his cape. Phoebe quickly saw that the menacing glow in his eyes disapear as his enchatement disapear. Nightmare Moon also saw it and summon two clouds above her head. ``Look like I won’t even have to fight you Titiritero!`` She said with a wide smile before two bolt of lightning came crashing down on the undead stallion. Phoebe was surprise at the attack of Nightmare Moon, weren’t they allies? Why were they attacking each other? She shook her head why should she care? Phoebe charge the now dazed stallion. Seeing her coming to finish the job Titiritero, pass to plan B. He search in his saddlebag and grabbed a doll similar to a certain draconesus. Several red magical tendril shot at the doll as he grin victory arleady his. - - - - - - Discord scream in pain as a painful red aura encircled him, he tried to resist to the will of the vampony. He couldn’t believe he became so weak that a pathectic stallion like him could control him, the spirit of chaos. He was forced to put two fingers together before snapping them to release a magic spell. Immediately the sun disapear to let place to the moon. As soon as the spell was cast the aura disapear and the draconesus fell panting miserably on the cold floor. Since he became cursed by the vampony, Discord began to question if all of this was really worth it. His greed for power let him release one of the most dangerous predator on Equestria. Was he really fit to become a king? Maybe he should just give up and give the element back to the bearer. The draconesus pitifully sniff as his last bit of magic left him and he fell unconsious on the floor. - - - - - - Equestria tremble as the last bits of magical placed by Discord tried desperatly to let the country float in the sky. The magical shield that imprisoned the ponies for months began to crack because of the lack of magic. Phoebe look at the scene in shock. Something had certainly happen to Discord if they didn’t do something the entire country would come crashing down in the sea, who know how many damage it could cause to the entire land. That without mentioning the risk of sinking under the water by all the weight that would come crashing at the same time. She glare at the vampony in hatred. ``What did you do this time Titiritero?!`` He grin smugly at her in response. ``I simply let a little gift to Discord when he didn’t saw things my way. He is too weak to rule, I will be the king of this pathetic little country. With me at their command the ponies will become the ultimate weapons agaisnt the other countries! And speaking of weapon, I can’t simply let the ponies have their best way of defence agaisnt me. I will retrieve the elements Discord so kindly gave to the bearers.`` He stomp a hoof on the ground before a large red circle of magic illuminate the ground. The ground around Ponyville shook before dozen of hooves shot out form the dirt. ``Yes my ghouls! Go retrieve the elements of harmony. When this week is over I will have form an empire. Victory is arleady mine!`` Phoebe look around the town and saw the ponies locking their door and baricading their windows. ``No, not again, I won’t let you have another town Titiritero!`` She scream at him, he look a last time back at here with a smile. ``We will see about that little goddess, you think you’re a vampire killer, but you never fough something like me. You should have find a way to return home after Manehattan now it’s too late. The next time I see you one of us will die. And I’m almost certain it will be you, ahahahaha!`` He laugh before he disapear to a insane speed. - - - - - - Babs Seed scream in terror as ghouls gallop after her, she want to believe it’s was simply a nightmare because of her time in Manehattan but she knew all too well it was real. When she through nothing could go worse she trip over a small rock into the field. As the red eyes of the ghouls glare at her, she close her eyes and brace herself to become the dinner of these abomination. But the next thing she heard instead was a loud crack followed by a body hitting the dirt. ``Nope!`` Said a powerfull voice. Babs open her eyes in surprise and saw a tall stallion standing proudly in face of the monsters. ``Big mac! I’m so happy to see you! How did you find me?!`` ``Well yer not exactly quiet sugarcube.`` Respond a orange mare crushing the skull of another ghould with a powerfull buck. ``And beside me and Mac have train fer months to find ghouls with the Purus Sangus guild, these ones were as easy to find as rotten tomatoes.`` The mare and the stallion had arleady kill all the ghouls before Applejack had sinish to talk. How could they kil monsters without even sweating?! Babs ask to herself before remembering that she was in front of her cousin Applejack who had save Equestria more time than she could count on four hooves. The ears of the cowgirl perk up as she heard somepony stepping on a twig. She spun around and saw five more ghouls. ``Look like we have more work on our hooves big brother.`` ``Eeyup.`` Big Mac simply nod in confirmation. - - - - - - I break the statue of ice before it could melt, or more precisely I broke the frozen ghoul who look like a statue. The abominations had surround the house so me, my sis and mom was fighting them. They seem to be after the element I work so hard to get. There was no way these freaks would have it! I had to fight in a tower full of monster and was teleported in a weird Gaia world where there was a human as Celestia’s son just to have it! Ok I also got the shard of life because of it too, but still! ``Now give back these bodies to their owner at once, no one hurt my family understood? No one!`` The two ghouls tremble in fear before being transformed into a pile of ash as the stare of mom took effect. Meek Sky covered her entire body in flamme before head butting a ghould on his stomach. The ghouls scream as he took fire and was also dissolved into ashes. My head turn in alarm as I heard Golden Pie scream inside of the house. Before I could understand what happened a ghouls ran out of the cottage with the element of kindness in his mouth. ``Hey it’s mine you can’t take this!`` I scream at the undead. Technically it’s mom’s element but I don’t care right now. I form two spiritual balls in my hooves and threw it at the monster. He expertly jump to left and right before jumping on a rooftop. ``What?! Since when ghouls are so agile?!`` I cried in outrage. The ‘ghoul’ turn at me smirking, ``Ah! You think I’m a simple ghoul? I knew there was two elementalist in this house do you really think I would let simple ghouls retrieve the elements from you three? The next time you will see me I will have become king of your country, seeya!`` With that the vampony dissapear without a trace. I grind my teeths together, after all I have been through there no way I will let this freak have the element of my mom! The hunt to the vampony officially began!
