Kingdom of Monsters
Chapter 3
Pride of Flame
Rainbow Dash couldn’t sleep. It felt like something was forcing her to stay awake. Why can’t I sleep. Rainbow asked her self. She needed to find out. If something is doing this, it would have to be in the Everfree. Rainbow Dash thought to herself as she burst out of the door.
Eclipse studied the markings carefully. Trying to determine what the other two did. One just completely stumped her. It seemed to require too much magic to work. The other one seemed to need magic from someone to activate it.
“Servant, come over here,” Eclipse said, even though the mind control broke during the transformation. Drain still did everything Eclipse told her to do.
“Yes, my queen,” Draintooth said as she flapped her new wings, bringing her over to Eclipse in seconds. Eclipse activated her magic then, suddenly they were teleported to a castle. This place is amazing, did master build this? Drain thought as she examined the black stones that made up majority of the building.
“I’ll have to check this place out later, another one of our friends seem to be entering the cave, and I would like to watch,” Right after Eclipse said this she opened a
magic viewing portal to look at the cave.
As Rainbow entered the cavern, she was struck with awe. The fire dancing in the torches were a wonderful site. There was a majestic sphere hanging in mid-air with indents along its surface. It was almost begging to be touched. Nothing bad will happen if I touch it. The pegasus thought as she moved towards it. When her hoof touched the sphere, it was like her entire body froze, she needed to heat up. As if to answer her call. Spikes shot out from the indents, some empailing Rainbow. Then all she knew was heat. Her body crumpled into ash. Leaving her soul to burn. The ash reformed making new wings and armour. The rest was just a flame, kept in check by an invisible force.
As Eclipse reappeared back in the cavern. She asked, “How are you?” The Elemental didn’t know, she hated being transformed without her consent, but at the same time. It just felt so good. No, she couldn’t think like that. But why not? The elemental was torn. On the border of light and dark. As her thoughts transformed, so did part of her body. Two eyes made of blue flame formed, she gained a helmet that had a mark of a burning rainbow. The element of loyalty was corrupted into the element of pride as she fell into darkness.
“I feel great my queen,” Replied the elemental. Rainbow Dash was Gone, now only Ashburn remained, and she was her to stay.
