Third person POV:
Storm Days and Firestorm were brushing through bushes and branches, mud and dirt and other disgusting things, looking for this castle their enemies had spoken of before their sudden deaths. Firestorm was using her wing-blades to cut through the forest while her brother just stood behind her, letting his sister doing all the work to herself.
But, through it all, Firestorm cuted the last branch from a tree, giving the two a wide view of the Castle Rhyfel. Their eyes were wide open from shock.
What they saw was the castle of the Two Sisters beings overwhelmed by Ogres, diamond dogs and the forest's animals. They saw rows of ogres and dogs training themselves with all sorts of weapons as they used them on each other, trying to get the upper hand in combat. Under them and in turn the castle, where once the Tree of Harmony stood, was filled with blacksmiths, forges that was made like the walls, completely made of Earth and Stones. It lighted the path, the bridge that lead to the castle and lower parts of the castle with red and orange colour. Finally, the two saw nearly everywhere on the castle, Horde forces rebuilding it with what looked like buildings from Ponyville. They were mainly fixing the castle's walls, towers and entrance. Ogres were using tools made from wood and steel, the diamond dogs were clearing the rubbles and dirt along with the spiders and even the forest friends were giving a hand like the Timberwolves pulling wagons of building parts and tools whilst hydras were helping the workers get to higher ground like ladders. Now it was clear for Storm Days and Firestorm. The Horde's capital city was none other than the princesses's old home and they were rebuilding it for Dynol's war campaign against Equestia.
"Sweet Celestia..." Firestorm whispered in surprise.
"Indeed" Storm Days replied with a curious tone in his voice. "This... wasn't what I expected to be Dynol's capital, I thought it would be some fort he built by himself"
"You don't think he could, could he?"
"He managed to create those walls back at Ponyville, I don't see why he couldn't" Storm looked at the castle in more detail. He saw Ogres guarding the entrance along with two Timberwolves and one Cockatrice. "I can't see anywhere to get in undetected, can you?"
Firestorm looked around, seeing if there is a chance to get in. She looked where the bridge was and saw a wagon of supplies heading towards the castle. It was being pulled by a Timberwolf and was guarded by three dogs.
"We could hide in that wagon and wait till we're in the castle?" Firestorm said as she pointed to where the wagon was with her wing. Storm Days looked at it and rubbed his chin.
"It's a long shot, but I think that's all we got"
The two ponies then started to move towards the wagon, sneaking though trees and bushes to be unseen by any of the guards. They hided behind a rock, waiting till the wagon was in mere metres from them. But before they could jump in, Firestorm picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into a bush opposite to them and the wagon to distract the guards.
"What was that?" One the dogs said as all three turned their heads to the bush, as the two ponies quickly and quietly into the wagon. Inside of the wagon was more building tools, food and other sorts of goods for the Horde. Storm Days and Firestorm wiggled into a large box that was filled with jars, contain things like jam, peanuts and what looks like chocolate, most likely from Sugar Cube Corner.
"It was nothin', maybe it was just a animal" Another dog said with a growl. "Lets move on"
The wagon began to move again. It was a bumpy ride though, as it had to go over an old bridge that surprisingly could hold the wagon and the three dogs as they cross over it. As they crossed, the Ogres opened the doors for the wagon to go though.
"Where do we take these stuff?" A dog grunted.
"Down the hall and on your right" Said the Ogre on the left. "You'll see the rest of wagons there"
And like that, the wagon moved on. It went as the Ogre said, down hall and on the right where three more wagons was placed. As the dog dismounted the timberwolf from the wagon and walked away, Firestorm and Storm Days took a peck outside to see if the coast is clear. Once they saw that the coast was clear, they hopped out of the wagon and got a better look at what the Horde has done to the place.
In the main hall, there was the Horde of the Forest's flags on nearly all the walls and on the sealing, giving it a sense of imperial power from a bunch of wild beasts and cut-throats. The colours of the hall and what may come to the rest of the castle was crimson on the floor, brown on the walls, blue on the roof and white on the columns. It almost looked like a festival time if it wasn't for the Ogres' symbols and their flags hanging about the place. In the middle, where once the two sisters' thrones were, was Dynol's throne. It looked like a fitting throne for one that rules the forest and controls the elements. All in all, it wasn't the princesses's home anymore.
Firestorm narrowed her eyes. "This place, what they've done is-"
"Pretty cool" Storm Days spoked without a thought. "I mean if I was a evil being, with armies of beasts, I would make my capital look scary and intimating to my enemies"
"Sometimes I wonder what's going on in that brain of yours" His sister said as she tapped her brother's forehead with her wing.
"You wouldn't know the half of it"
"True" She then looked around the hall. "Where is everyone and better yet, where would they keep prisoners here?"
"My guess is that they are to busying in repairing to worry about here, and where they keep their prisoners?" Storm Days looked to the western side of the hall and saw an Ogre with tribal tattoos and a large bag heading up stairs into the second floor. "I say we follow that guy"
"How do you know he'll lead us to the right place?"
"If I'm wrong, I'll buy a round of ciders when we get back to the whole gang"
".....I'll lead"
Firestorm and Storm Days quickly moved to the stairs and slowly walk up there, making sure that no one is following them or any other heading up or down from said stairs.
Once they'd reached up the stairs. They were in a long hall with many doors leading to many rooms, it might of been the living quarters in this once proud castle. The two ponies saw the Ogre with the large bag heading into the fourth door on the left, with a wide yet sinister grin. As the two ponies were moving to the door said Ogre walked though. The Ogre placed the bag on the floor and chuckled to his 'subject'.
"Now, little one" The Ogre's voice was cold and toneless, yet somehow you could hear a bit of pleasure as he looked at the injured mare on the floor: Flower-pit. "My chieftain and in turn, my lord wishes to know more about your armies and your allies, they think you'd just gave them the details about Ponyville and not the rest of the Equestria" He then pulled out a club with blunt spikes all over it.
"I told them..." Came Flower-pit's weaken voice, she's suffered enough from the torture Dynol gave her. "Everything I knew...Everything"
"Everything you knew about Ponyville and its defensive, nothing more" He then grabbed the mare by the throat and was ready to begin his torture. "My lord used his way of making you talk, but I'll be using my way of making you scream"
"Not today, you freak"
"Who dares interru-"
The Ogre didn't finished his sentence when Firestorm slashed his throat, making him let go of Flower-pit and falling on the ground with his hands covering his bleeding neck as he gasped for air. Firestorm put an end to his misery by stabbing him in the chest, killing him instantly. Storm Days rushed inside and headed towards the injured mare, helping her onto her hooves.
"Th...Thank you" Flower-pit said as her breathing settled down. "I thought....I thought I was going to have another beating"
"What's your name, madam?" Storm Days smiled.
"Private Flower-pit, scout from Aura-sworn"
"Aura-sworn?" Firestorm joined in as she peaked outside the door, making sure no one else was there. "You survived the attack?"
"Yes, and I captured here, forced to give info on Ponyville and any weakness she had" Flower lowered her head. "That...That beast broke me, I had no choice... I've failed Equestria"
"No you haven't. If you wasn't captured and Dynol didn't invade Ponyville, we would all live in fear of another attack from him. And thanks to that, we also found his capital and you, we know where his Horde lives now and we can strike back"
Flower smiled from Firestorm's words, it gave her pride back. "Then we better move, once they find this Ogre's body here, they'll sound a alarm and we may not get a chance to get out of here"
"Agreed" Storm nodded his head. "Can you walk on your own or do you need support?"
"Yeah, I can walk. My head hurts though, might need to see a medic before going back to duty"
Storm Days and Firestorm both nodded in agreement and began to move out of the room, staying in the shadows and trying not to get seen by anyone.
Five minutes later...
"And that's where we found Flower-pit and brought her out of that place" Storm Days explained to the rest of the Lunatics on what they'd saw.
"You're not joking with me?" Arcana Shift said with serious look on his face. "They are in the Castle of the two Sisters?"
"Yea" Flower-pit answered. "And they training more warriors to join the Horde's ranks, as well as rebuilding it in their master's image"
Arcana Shift nodded his head. This is more then they expected. "Can you make it to Canterlot without being seen by them, as well as carrying another pony on your back?"
"I think I can, although it might take some time getting there in my weak state"
"Don't worry, we believe in you" Snow Charm smiled as she placed a hoof on Flower's back.
"Right Lunatics, get some rest. We'll be moving into Ponyville first light, Shamrock you take first watch"
From a moan from Shamrock and salutes from the others, the Lunatics took rest in either ground, tree or sleeping behind a bush. As Flower-pit carried Sunset on her back and headed in the area that'll lead her to Canterlot.
"We'll need all the luck we can get to pull this off" Shamrock mumbled as she climbed up a tree to get a good clear view of the forest to keep an eye out for anything that may cause a threat to them.
