Kingdom of Monsters
Chapter 5
Power of Shadow
“Sombra!” Drain screamed as she got into attack position. Ashburn joined her as her flame burned bright.
“Relax, I am here to help,” Sombra said as he drifted around the room.
“What could you offer us?” Eclipse said with Venom.
“How about power?” Sombra replied. Eclipse’s eyes lit up at that.
“Go on,” Eclipse said.
“You see, I used to be apart of my own kingdom of monsters. They had something you lack. Dark Magic.” Sombra said with a grin bigger than Pinkie Pie’s, “it would be such a waste to see such power go to waste, after all, I am the one who set this whole thing up.”
“How did you survive the crystal empire?” Ash asked.
“I have my ways,” Sombra said smugly. “Now what about my offer?”
“I accept, how do I gain your magic?” As Eclipse said this, Sombra laughed.
“Easy, You abzorb my very essence, it will kill me, but I think you want that. Here,” sombra teleportation a piece of paper and wrote down a spell on it. “This is how you do it.” Eclipse looked the spell over.
“Let’s begin,” Eclipse said lighting up her horn. Dark magic wasn’t pleasant to cast. It took a lot of negative emotion. Not only that, but it did lead her to her worst fear. As the spell continued. Sombra shrieked in pain. Dying in agony.
The spell went on. And soon the dark magic started to take it’s toll. Eclipses’ mind became less and less able of thinking of anything other than hate Clawdark felt it, too. Her mind being consumed by rage. Drain seemed to be in pain. While Ash seemed to be craving something. The longer the spell went on. The more darkness sounded appealing. Who needs light, darkness is better. It gives so much more power.
Twilights scales began to drip darkness. Her mane turning oily black. As well as she grew in fangs of her own. Drain’s coat seemed to shrink, leaving her leathery skin open, not only that. but her tail became a bat’s tail, making it able to grab anything within reach, Ash changed color from a burning red to a dark orange. Her armour started to gain visible cracks that darkness leaked out of. Clawdark’s fur seemed to change color, from orange to a dark brown. Her nose made itself like that of a wolf’s with a bit of pain. There eye’s all changed. The whites of their eyes becoming green and with purple trails at the end of them. even Ash’s who were now on her lowering helmet.
“Now, Who should we improve next?” Eclipse asked with her new, more snake like voice.
“Maybe Rarity?”growled Clawdark, as if words were still a new concept.
“Works for me,” approved Ashburn as her voice seemed to come from everywhere at once.
“Sounds like fun!” Screamed Draintooth loudly.
“Very well,” Eclipse hissed as she activated her new, curled horn and one of the markings lit up. “While I’m overseeing that, Applejack, you should go improve your family. Ash you should go improve Spike, oh and when you're done, burn down the library. Drain, you can go where you like.”
“Yes my queen,” they all said in unison as they moved out.
