Chapter 6 part 2

As I lie in the calm state I watched as this princess's pet belched up some paper, which she eagerly took in her weird floaty grasp. Along with the paper came a book. It was brown with golden binding. Watching her eyes dart back and forth from page to page, I had thought she had forgotten about me. I was going to try escaping again, but once again I found myself bound to a bed. Instead of the brown restraints, these ones were made of metal and were heavy. The kind that would take forever to burn through, even with the heat of the sun.

Princess purple closed the book and placed it on the side table.
Before reading from what she had written.

"Hello, Twilight Are Sparkle. Hearing you help." She said. I could barely understand her speech, because the brokenness made it difficult to understand.

"What?" She wrote down what I had spoken.

She opened the book once more, flipping from page to page, writing down another line, before answering.

"Horse be yes you?"

'This is going to get severely irritating really fast. Using my head I motioned for her to come closer to the bed. She cautiously took a few steps closer. The look in her eyes told me she was very skeptical after my little fire show. I motioned to her script, which she placed down on me. I looked at her script and saw two lines of text the first I saw was in her crazy pony language. The second was in my language but the words were so strewn around in the sentence. I motioned for her bird feather, which she gave me. I had made the appropriate corrections. 'Hopefully this will help ease the already growing head pains I was getting from her.

She read over the corrections and restated her question.

"You horse right?"

To ease her confusion and to avoid having her write it down, which was also starting to get annoying, I shook me head. I told a half truth. Gotta love those technicalities, after all moth and their princess both told me the same.
I mean come on, if you were in my position, would you do anything different. Being stuck with an evil degenerate creature of darkness who wants nothing more than to consume my soul. I gave a sigh, as I watched her write something and translate it.

"Horse you not, how know language? It dead four thousand years?" She asked tilting her head.

'Dang caught in a trap. How do I respond? I can't tell her the truth. Heck she stabbed me when I tried to escape.'

A knocking came from the door and a heat filled the room. As the door opened a giant, winged, horned, white pony walked into the room. As she entered the heat increased. Almost as if I were back in the fire pits with Chimera. I tried to take some of that heat to escape, but I was still too weak.

'This must be the ultimate ruler of their land.'

"Hello my little pony. My name is Princess Celestia." She spoke horsian.

'Does she think I'm a pony or a horse. I know she called me a pony, but she's speaking horsian. Am I safe?'


It took a while to get to Chimeras' Fire fields. It was hard walking around here, what with the fire geysers popping up every few seconds. The fog wasn't making helping either.

'Is this the type of torture mother sentenced Ackayacha to?' Xanthor asked himself knowing full well he wouldn't be able to stay here for more than a month. As I took another step a geyser blew up in my face. Blasting me with hot steam. I began to hear voices.

"Yes I found them."

I followed said voices to a cave. Hiding behind some nearby bushes, I peaked over the hedge. I saw Chimera talking to the very last one I expected to even be here; mother. By the looks of it, it looked like she had just beaten me here.

"Chimera, what happened to my son?"
"As we already told you, some ponies came!" Chimera snapped back.
"Where'd they take him?"
"There's a village not far from here. Maybe they took him there?" Chimera offered.

"Where is this village, show me."

"What's in it for us?" Viper hissed.

"You do remember our deal right? You live amongst us in the village for you training Ackayacha. Well until I'm convinced he's been trained, you won't leave this place."

"Yeah and what if we don't want to live with you." Tigress sent a smart remark back at Mother.

"I won't rip your mismatched body to pieces. How's that for motivation?" Mother said looking directly into Tigress's eyes.

They all gulped knowing full well mother could do as stated.

"Go. Good enough."

Trailing them was extremely difficult, due to mothers' already growing anxiety of seeing, and possibly destroying a pony village. It seems that with every step she swiveled her ears, trying to detect any sound. I almost got caught as I stepped on a twig causing it to snap, but luckily a small ground runner ran into view dispelling mothers growing worry. The confident grace she would carry herself in was gone as her steps became more cautious. The trees seemed to be thinning as we started getting to a clearing with a single cave and rock walls along the sides.

"Where the buck are we Chimera? I thought you said we were going to their village?"

"I'm sorry, but he wanted me to bring you here." Viper hissed.

"Who wanted me here? Why?" Mother demanded her voice growing with dread.

"My, My, My. So many questions from you." Called an ominously deep growl from inside the cave.

It may have taken a little bit, but the ground started shaking every few seconds. Out of the cave's darkness walked the Dark One. His face had looked like someone tried digging tiny holes into them, as the muscle underneath became visible. His teeth looked more jagged than when I last saw him.

Mother back peddled away from him.

"Chimera, you've done well into bringing this foal to me."

Mother shot a look over at Chimera, "You, backstabbing bitch."

Mother tried to keep her distance away from both Chimera and the Dark One. She was being backed against the rocks that made up the eight foot wall.

"Enough of this horsing around." the Dark One said as he lunged at Mother. Tackling her to the ground. I made my move, and got into the fight.
