//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: The Reawakening // Story: The Legendary Terrarian of Equestria // by TheDisplacerOfEquestrias //------------------------------// In the Jungle of the Terrarian Temple... The Eater of Worlds: The Guardian of the Corruption and one of the strongest bosses in the Terrarian World... The Eater of Worlds, also known as the EoW, was currently making it's way to the Terrarian Temple, hidden away in the Jungle... The Terrarian Temple was a bunker of sorts that kept all creatures from the Terrarian World safe from the Wrath of the beings of Equis... However, the Damn Temple sealed them inside... but thankfully, today would be the day that they escape. The EoW dug through the ground... until it hit bricks... Lihzahrd Bricks. The EoW let out a squeal of joy, as it dug out the dirt and stone around the temple, before it found a switch and accidentally brushed up against it, making the entire temple shake before it began to rise... The EoW rose with it and the entire temple reached the surface, looking like that of an Egyptian Pyramid, before the World Eater noticed that the doorway was caved in... It growled and began to dig away the rubble, revealing an empty room... It slithered in like a snake, only to be grabbed by a mechanical appendage... The one that grabbed it was none other than the Eater of Worlds big brother... The Destroyer, a mechanical worm like creature. The Destroyer looked at the Eater of Worlds, narrowing it's gaze, as the Eater of Worlds gave it a happy expression with it's eyes... The Destroyer let out a sigh and patted the Eater of Worlds on the head with it's tail, before it motioned for it to follow... The Destroyer led the World Eater to another room, where the other mechanical beings and the non mechanical beings were, along with the normal creatures of the Terrarian World... They all appeared to be playing Poker... Texas Hold'em, specifically. Skeletron Prime, the older brother of Skeletron, a giant floating skull with two disembodied arms, unlike Skeletron Prime's four disembodied arms, was playing, before he then said "Four Kings, boys.", making them all groan in anger... The Destroyer then let out an "Ahem.", gaining their attention... The Destroyer had a deadpan look, before it said "Boys... we're free." This made their jaws drop, before they all let out cheers of the excitement and relief... "Come on, we gotta see the outside!" The Brain of Cthulhu, which is referred to as the BoC, and sometimes the Brain of CaChooChoo, for some reason, said in a deep, sick voice, as it floated out of the room, the others following it... The World Eater and the Destroyer looked at each other, before they sighed and followed them... They soon made it outside, as the beings all covered their eyes due to the sunlight... The Twins, which were the older, mechanical brother and sister (Spazmatism is the brother, Retinazer is the sister) of the Eye of Cthulhu, or the EoC or the Eye of CaChooChoo, and we're connected by a bit of flesh, let out roars of excitement, as did the others... The Eater then slithered out and motioned for them to follow, which they did... Meanwhile, in Applelossa... Sheriff Silverstar was currently playing Poker with his deputies... again. "Four Princes, Colts." He said, grinning, as his deputies groaned in anger and annoyance... "So, that's... what? 6-2-3? (6 = Silverstar, 2 = first deputy, 3 = second deputy) ... best out of 10?" His second deputy asked. Just as Silverstar was going to answer, Braeburn, Applejack's cousin, galloped in and said "SHERIFF! YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!" Silverstar got up from his chair and asked "What's the problem, Braeburn?" "There are a bunch of creatures demanding to be let into town, but they definitely ain't ponies... and they ain't any creature I've ever seen before." He said, as he led Silverstar out, while the his deputies followed... When they arrived, they saw two, dark purple mummified creatures (one showing it's skull), standing there, and they were bipedal, with a couple, rotten, weird-ass creatures floating behind them, some with more spikes than others... The Mummy showing it's skull growled and said, with a dry, deep voice "Finally! We can be let in!" Silverstar trotted up to them and asked "Alright, who are ya'll?" The Mummy that wasn't showing it's skull walked up and said, with a dry voice, as well, but not as deep, and with a Texan accent, "My name's Darkin. That Skull-shower is Shadrow... we're 'ere to spread word that one of the Terrarian Lords 'as returned, Sheriff." Silverstar looked at them all and asked "And who is this Terrarian Lord... and what is a Terrarian?" Shadrow growled and said "A Terrarian is one of the former dominant species of the planet... besides the Changelings, that is..." Darkin knocked Shadrow upside the skull for that, before it said "Sorry 'bout that... Shadrow bit of an idiot 'ometimes... trust me on 'hat... 'owever, 'he 'errarian Lord is 'he Ruler of 'he Corrup'ion... Lord Darkness." This made a near by Buffalo's eyes widen, and almost made him choke on his food and drink... They all turned to the Buffalo, before he sheepishly rubbed his head, before he got up and he cleared his throat, then he said "Lord Darkness is a legend, though... he's a legend that only the Buffalo and the Changelings know!" Darkin laughed and said "He ain't 'ust a legend... he's a livin' legend!", as the others laughed with it... The Buffalo's jaw dropped, before he calmed himself and said "Excuse me for one moment...", before he turned around and sped off to find Chief Thunderhooves, the Chief of the Buffalo... "CHIEF THUNDERHOOVES! THE LEGENDS ARE REAL!" He yelled, making them all deadpan as he ran... Darkin facepalmed and said "'His is goin' ta be a long day, ain't it?" Silverstar nodded and facehoofed, as he said "Yes... yes it is, Mr. Darkin."
