The Path Of The Seven Sins

by Fry


Fire

'Twilight! Come on, Your getting behind...and if your getting behind you might get lost......FOREVER!!
Hihihih,no just kidding but common Twilight!' shouts Pinkie happily.

Twilight turns around. Her head gives a look at the place where the mare just stood.

...she's vanished.

........

And half hour later the ponies and the dragon we're still marching like an army through the woods.
The sun shined bright on Fry's forehead while he whipped off some sweat.

''Man...i never walked so much since i won the marathon...'' Applejack pants while she carried her heavy settle-bag.
Fluttershy blinked for a second.
''H-hey...uhm...w-what's...that ...gray iron thing right over there!''
Fluttershy spoke shyly surprised while she pointed with her hoof.
Then they see a huge, stone gate.

''What... is... this...?' asks Rarity.

''Wow...this looks like a haunted village!'' Said Rainbow Impressed, who's interested in the carvings on the huge, scary gate.

''But what exactly is all this?'' Asked Spike as well.

''I know this language...It's... Latin!,'' answers Twilight with an smile

'' It says: Trames Septem Pecatorum.''

She opens her settlebag and picks out an little, black book.
She opens it and starts to read...

''The Path Of The Seven Sins,'' she finally says.

''What are those sins,can you eat it? Just like cupcakes and cookies?'' asks Pinkie while she jumped happy up and down .

''No Pinkie,sins are deeds that are evil to do like stealing or lieying.'' Explained Twilight.
''So what are those sins?'' Asked Bender when he observed the gate.

''Well they are also carved in the gate,''
Said Twilight and she named them while pointing at the curly letters that we're written on the gate:

''Luxuria, Ira, Gula, Superbia, Avaritia, Acedia and Invidia.''

Or, with English words,

'' Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Vanity, Greedy, Slowness and Wrath.''

''Hey,'' Bender said to Rainbow Dash, while poking her wing. ''You have them all,HAHAHAHA!!!.''

The young speedster rolls with her eyes and fakes a laugh. Twilight strokes the stone of the statue.

''That's probably the hero of this village,'' says Twilight convinced. She looks at the base and reads:

'R o Ha n D e B e A u f 0 R t - Comes sine animo.'

She waits a little and looks in her little,black book.
''The heartless count'' She spoke with in impressed face.

The group looks at the face of the stone colt.
He rests his left hoof on a casket.
He has a cape and an curly,short mane,his eyes are furious and starring in the nothingness like a demon.

''H-he looks really really s-scary'' stuttered Fluttershy as she hide behind Fry's back.
''Doesn't look like a hero to me,'' whispers Rainbow dash while she kicked a rock with her hoof.
''Or an count.''

''Was he so mean?'' asks Rarity.

''No, on the other side of the base stands that someone took his heart and putted it away somewhere...,'' explains Twilight.
She pointed at the chest.

'Well isn't that romantic' Applejack sighs dreamy.
'Hmmm,stealing a heart a throw it somewhere else...Yippee,' jokes Fry.

''Pretiosum,'' whispered Twilight as she looks in her book again.
''The precious!''

''Precious?'' asks Bender. ''C-can gold be one of those precious things,or diamonds?''

''Yes, that is maybe possible,'' answers Twilight while she nodded her head.

''Hey, I've found the camping!'' shouted Spike overenthusiastic.
He stepped forward where Twilight and the others stood still by the gate and the statue.

They make their tents up when they get on the camping place. It's already evening when all the tents are standing on the grass. Applejack and Pinkie Pie made a bonfire and cooked something.
The others don't know what it is, but it's definitely not good.

''What is this?'' asks Rarity when she looks at her brown, red plate.

''Those 'r beans in tomato sauce,'' answers Applejack while she poured in proudly her dinner in a bowl.
''With an swirl of sugary whip-cream!'' Pinkie smiled.

''I prefer Room-served Food,not poison,'' says Rarity.
''Spike!'' she yelled.
Spike came with an plate full of food and served it to Rarity.
''Now that is better,thank you darling~'' She petted Spike while the dragon smiled and blushed.

''How does it taste Fluttershy?'' Rainbow asked before she took a bite.
Fluttershy tried to eat,but it tasted horrible.

'' I-it's....umm...Nice'' She said shy while she gulped.

Fry and Bender trowed their ''Dinner'' Away and started to eat some choco-bars.
They secretly shared a few bars with Fluttershy,Rainbow,Twilight and even Pinkie.

Applejack frowned when she saw almost everypony eating choco-bars instead of her
delicious...yeah... beans in tomato sauce.

''Hey,look Spike is bluUUuuuUuushing!'' teased Rainbow Dash.

The whole group laughs except Rarity and Spike. Spike frowns and walks into the shadows of the forest.

''That was not so kind,Dash,'' Replied Rarity irritated.
She gets up and walks in the same dark shadows of the forest like Spike did.

Rarity walked for seven minutes between the trees when she passes a huge oak.
Spike stood right behind it watching the night sky.

''Spike,'' whispered Rarity in a soft tone.
Spike gasps and falls on the ground.Rarity helps him getting up, but he pulls her down so that she's sitting next to him.

'Sorry, Rarity,but your startled me.'

''It's okay, dear~.''

''It's just that I hate Rainbow dash her teasing jokes sometimes.''

''But you know how Rainbow is, huh?'' said Rarity and turns her head towards Spike.Her lips accidentally touches his cheeks.
She pulls back while Spike is looking at her with big eyes and a huge pink blush on his face.

Rarity remembers the last kiss she gave him.
She always felt something for that sweet dragon, but she didn't want to accept it.

''Do you want to say this to the others or was it just because I was hurt?'' asks Spike.

It was quiet for a moment...

He sees the eyes from the most beautiful unicorn in all of Equestria.
Her purple mane shined into the moonlight that beamed between the leaves from the trees.
Then Spike finally broke the silense.

''About that gate and the statue. I want to look at it this night.''

Silence remains again after his explanation.

''Do you want to go with me?''

''...Yes,Spike.'' Rarity answered with an smile.

''Than it's a date then.''

''For you it is,my spikeywikey~.''

They stand up and walk back to the fire.
When Spike and Rarity arrive, a figure appears in the smoke of the fire.
It asks for help: ''Help me! Please, help me! Please!''

Than she vanishes.
Suddenly, A huge and big pony with a blue cape comes out of the dark and starts yelling...

''Bohahahaha!''

The hole group screams of horror.
Fluttershy digs up a hole in the ground and hided in it.
A moment later they discover that Fry and Pinkie made a practical joke.

'' Oh my Celestia,you guys were really fantastic!'' said Rarity recovered from the shock.

''Yeah! You're girl-voice was really good,Fry'' complimented Rainbow.
''Yeah I take some acting....What!?'' Pinkie stumbles.
''What girl-voice?'' Asks Fry in confusion.

''Well, tha one ya just did.'' Applejack declaimed.

''We didn't do anything except for scaring you guys all from out of the darkness.''
Pinkie and Fry started laughing for a long while
Suddenly they stopped laughing,looking at the ponies who looked frighteningly at them.

It was quiet for a moment...

''Yeah, and again very funny, buddy...'' Bender spoke while he petted Fry on his shoulder.

''Guys, it's ten o' clock. We better go to sleep.'' Spike said while he already stood in his pyjama's.

They all agreed and they forgot what happened at the fire-place.
