//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: TCB: Divine Wrath // by Dragonlover553 //------------------------------// Two years ago.... "How much longer until the barrier covers the Earth?" asked the purple unicorn known as Twilight Sparkle. "Only a few hours, my lady." replied a guard. "Good. And how many humans are left?" she asked. "Approximately 10, my lady." said the guard. "Excellent." "But, my lady..." said the guard, hesitantly. "What is it sergeant?" demanded Twilight. "Dr. John Dee is among them." Twilight cursed. "Dr. John Dee himself? The Dr. John Dee? The man who wiped out entire bases unaided? The man who killed my brother?" Twilight demanded. "Yes." Twilight cursed again. "Then I will finish him, myself." replied a third voice. "Princess Luna?!" said both Twilight and the guard, shocked. "This is now time for formalities. We must change Dee immediately. He's killed 100,653 ponies with his sword alone." "With his sword?! But, but.." Twilight stuttered. "I know Twilight, that is why he must be stopped." "I will create an astral projection. I will find him, Princess Luna." said Twilight, determined. Present Day.... When Luna and her guards had not returned, Celestia had sent out a search party. They had found nothing but ash and death at the battle field. From above, a glyph had appeared, the very same glyph that Dee left wherever he killed. Twilight, who hadn't gone, hadn't been the same since. *** A man stood in black and golden robes, vials of strange, colored liquid and a silver pocket watch on his belt, brown hair blowing in the wind. Upon the back of his rope, in gold, was a symbol, the ouroboros, the symbol for immortality. He was average in high and in build, not extremely memorable. But if one looked into his bright, golden, eyes one would find they were bright golden, and filled with centuries of knowledge, and infinite hatred. For their owner, for their enemies, for all they gazed upon. For they gazed upon a twisted world, a world known as Equestria. They gazed upon the shredded souls of what was once their brothers. They gazed upon the city of the enemy, the lions den. A city known as Canterlot. And after that look into those bright, golden eyes filled with hate, one would know, Canterlot was doomed, Equestria would fall. May the gods have mercy on those who stand in their owner's way.
