//------------------------------// // Illidian Stormrage?! // Story: Undead Necromancer // by The Shade //------------------------------// Perspective: Celestia. He... He just... He just ate... Meat? Flesh of an dead animal? Dear sun I think i'm going to lose my lunch. Shaking myself out of the trance I was in, I now see Scythe whispering things into the ear of Luna in a language I don't understand, which is weird since I know all currently used languages in equestria. He glanced at me, smiled and whispered more things into Luna's ear, this was fishy - I understood that from the second I saw him. But it wasn't until he pulled out a coin of what seemed to be pure gold that the cog wheels in my head seemed to turn, there's that glance at me and that smile, how I know he was smiling I do not know, since I can't see his face it's more like a feeling in my gut. He put the gold coin away and waited for a second, I saw Luna smirk from the side of her face before simply saying 'Deal.' Scythe began standing up, it wasn't until now I realized he was a full head larger than me, and I was about two heads larger than most ponies. He smirked at me and said "Have you ever danced with the devil in pale moonlight?" Now I do not know what the devil or who it is, but one thing's for sure - It's nothing pleasant, the tone of his voice and the rasp of the word devil said it all. I began backing away lowering my head into a pouncing position before a thought came up into my head. "No, but i've danced with chaos himself." That was sure to unsettle him, I thought. I would come to curse myself for those words later. Perspective: Scythe. "No, but i've danced with chaos himself" Celestia said before doing her best of a predatory grin, which was very funny, Ponies are prey, not predators. I smiled. "Then dear Celestia, show me that dance." She blinked, once, twice, three times before shaking her head clear of thought. She was silent, how were she gonna respond to that? It wasn't until Luna stood up she seemed to grasp reality. "What do you mean, you danced with Chaos, Celestia?" Hm? There's a bit of venom in her voice- Oh, sibling rivalry, always a fun thing to observe, it's not so fun to be stuck in the middle however. "Who's Chaos?" I asked, hoping to ease the locks of her mental prison. "The Lord of Destruction, Spirit of Chaos and God of Madness, whatever you wanna call him, his name goes down to one single word: Discord." Luna said, the last word seemed to practically driped with venom, this didn't catch my attention at the time however, since apperently there's a creature in this world that needs to be slain. "A... A Lord of Destruction?! Here? By Thrall's beard Illidian is still alive!" I Practically bolted out of the library into the colorful world, damn that's bright. Anyways, there's a few things wrong here, if he was alive he would be high up, he never liked being down to the ground, afterall. Secondly, if he was still alive the people- ponies whatever you wanna call them wouldn't be so calm on the streets, they haven't seen me yet, and it was best to keep it that was. I cast Blazing Speed then Greater Invisibility and sprinted through the entire village, I reached the edge of a forest that seemed to remind me very much of the Trisfial Glades. Deciding it would not be the greatest idea to go into this forest, I decided to mount up and fly into that castle that was on a mountain, if he were to be anywhere, it was there.
