Oleander collapsed on the floor after striking the final blow to the Predator Queen. The dark neon pink in Oleander's black hair flickered with an unholy light. The dark grey of her coat was stained with a little bit of blood from both the fighters.
"It's been a long journey, right Fred?" stated Oleander.
Fred was the name she gave the Unicromicon that was lying down next to her.
13 seasons ago, Oleander became a "Dark Unicorn" by being the only Unicorn to ever study the "Dark Magic."
Shunned by her race, ironically she was the only non pasifist Unicorn.
So she entered the fighting contest to become "the key that would seal away the predator race."
After defeating the 5 other contestants, she was tasked to stop the predators from continuing to enter Fœnum. (World of Them's Fighting Herds.)
Fred aka the Book of Undying Misery aka the Unicromicon was a black and red book adorned with runes of power and a demonic skull motif. The pages were red and well read, the skull motif along the bindings were red and it glowed with red energy. It also spoke often in a dramatic and off putting way. However Fred was her only friend, and knew together they were unstoppable.
Fred replied with a "You did well kiddo. When you're done resting we got to seal the portal"
Orleander hated when Fred teased her. Though she was a much younger mare than Fred, it still stung a tiny bit.
Standing up and moving forward, her hooves clopping against the floor with Fred floating behind her. The portal was a large maw of various colors. Mostly blue, however the refraction of light cause the occasional red and yellow around the edges.
"Hmm so what now I wonder?" Oleander said out loud to herself.
"As the key, you just have to walk through the portal and it will close behind us. Allowing the rest of Fœnum to rest in their comfortable hay beds." It of course being a metaphoric term, especially with the Huoshan's literally fiery manes, wings and tail.
"Wait, does that mean we won't be able to come back?" replied Oleander in a questioning manner.
"This world is going to be boring now. However you will gain the power to go back to Fœnum with just a bit more studying. Also think about what form you want to be. I'd suggest Succubus but hey, Eldritch Abomination is pretty cool too." mentioned Fred with a humorous tone. "Besides tentacles are in this season, at least among the pleasantly perverted fanfiction writers."
Oleander stared at the book. It often gave dark prophecies of the future. However that last comment he made was just to random. After looking at the portal she walked through it. Fred might be mischievous but he almost never lies.
They appear at the edge of a dark forest, with a rural looking town in the distance. Since she could hear the sounds of wolf howling from the forest she decided to go to the town.
"Fred get ready, if that town is full of predators we are going to make them scream. This will be a dark opera indeed." Oleander mentioned with her eyes glowing red with the patches along her black mane.
Fred thought to himself. "Mistress has grown up to be a truly malicious mare." Fred unable to cry in happiness instead just hummed and floated behind her as usual.
