Chapter 10: My little God

Chapter 10

Darkness. A little cliché, but it’s the truth here. I was in the familiar pitch blackness, unable to see anything in front of me, let alone my own body. What am I doing here? Last I remember, I was finishing off a fight against Lancelot. Am I dead?

No wait, I remember now. Can't believe I thought I was dead again.

“Well shit, here we go again...” I said, hearing my own voice echo through the darkness. Guess Celestia wants to talk again. I decided to wait and see if anything was going to happen soon. Unfortunately, I waited for what felt like hours for anything to happen. Nothing.

"Honestly, least she could do is not make me wait and at least be on time." God, I sound like my Ex.

A sudden bright light flashed in front of my eyes, blinding me again. I had to block the light from my eyes it was so bright.

“Ok, what is it you want this time Celestia?” I sounded a bit rude, but come on! I had to wait for like hours before she did this. With my hands still covering my face and eyes still closed, I couldn’t really see anything, but I could now feel myself on a rough type of surface. Then I heard a rather manly voice speak out.

“So this is the piece you got me? Doesn’t seem all that special. Kinda.... funny looking, if you ask me.” Who is this person?

“You did say you wanted to participate in this game, I only help bring him here for you. He did accept all the rules to be part of the game as well, so please be happy with him.” Celestia is talking to this stranger? About me?

Lowering my hand and adjusting my eyes, I notice that we’re not in the same platform as the “daydream” area, but a somewhat barren rocky landscape. I scanned the area only to see everything was covered in fog off in the distance, and I can see only one figure in front of me in the fog. It looked like Celestia with her white summer dress

“Hey? Princess? Is that you? Why’s everything so different?” I said, starting to walk towards her. I was really wondering what the hell was going on. I know I’m not dead, cause I can still feel everything like the last time I was in ‘daydream’. So what’s with the different setting?

Emerging from the fog wasn’t Celestia that I remember, but a pony version of her, with a white coat, long horns and wings. Wait... she said before that she was ruler of the ponies, meaning...

“This is how you really look like, isn’t it Celestia?” The pony nodded her head, smiling at me. “Looks.... um....” I tried to think of the right words to say, but couldn’t think of any. The princess face turned from pleasant to a “Not-amused” face. I couldn’t help but grin sheepishly. “Heh, right sorry. So, what's with the new set up here? And who was that voice earlier?”

“That would be me!” I heard a rather happy voice say. I looked around to find no one else around but me and Celestia. It wasn’t the princess... was it?

“No, you idiot. Up here.”

Looking up I see a shadow up in the distance, slowly getting bigger and bigger. Something’s coming down fast, and it’s big. Coming down from above I see....

….

“Who the hell are you?”

Landing next to Celestia was a weird humanoid creature. He stood at about 6’2, Wearing a vest colored white on his right and black on his left, with a collared shirt underneath that had the same style but switched. His Pants was the same as his shirt, but were covered with metal looking boots that went up to his knees. He had wings as well, but one was that of a skeleton wing, another an angel wing. His face looked normal as any human, but what was scary about this guy was that he had no eyes, just blackness, yet he was looking straight at me, as if looking straight at my soul. The only thing to make up for his creepy no eyes was the red fez that adorned his black short hair.

“Oh you know. Just your friendly neighborhood spiderman is all. I’m going to be your god now! Hooray!!” The humanoid smiled wide, showing off his pearly whites as well as some fangs. Please god, don’t let him be a vampire. Actually scratch that, don’t let him be a sparkling vampire. There’s a BIG difference. Anyways, getting off topic... No talking about sparkling vampires, focus on this fool.

“Are you serious?” Surprised, I turned to Celestia hoping she could clarify some things. Celestia turned her head to face the ‘god’ next to her and spoke to him in a motherly tone. “Now, technically, you’re not a god yet. You still need some more training to be a proper one. Let’s also not forget that you hardly have any real powers to be one yet.”

[Click the music for a more enjoyable scene]

The ‘god’ acted like he was suddenly shot in the heart, pretending to be wounded. “Ow, Celestia! Don’t have to bring it up in front of the kid!” I’ll show you who’s a damn kid. “Besides, I’ll gain more strength later in this game. But it doesn’t mean I can’t have abit of fun now and then.” He then looked at me and suddenly had a frown on his face. “But do I really have to be with this guy? He choose to be a dragon for pete sakes!” What’s wrong with being a dragon?

Celestia looked at me and gave a comforting smile. “Yes, but you must admit, it’s better than choosing to become another pony. Or as a two headed dragon.” She shuddered a bit, but then continued on. “And I did add some meteorite shields on him for some diversity.”

The ‘god’ crossed his arms and just continued to frown at me. “Yah I guess. But I mean COME ON! A dragon? Really? Where’s the imagination in that?!” I thought it was a pretty good idea at the time... “You should have chosen to become something different. Maybe.... Like a wolf with wings!” Ok that does sound a bit cool. “OH! Or as a samurai wolf with stop motion powers!” That sounds cool, too. “OH OH! Or as a bugbear! No one thinks of bugbears! With a robotic arm!! And a bazooka! NO! A magic crossbow!” I think this guy is getting too excited with this. “OHHHHH! Or as a god, but lost your powers when you entered this world, then you’re actually really sex-crazed!” …... This is just ridiculous now... “OH! Could’ve been a griffin named Griffin, and then have yourself try and change how the government works and be king of the griffins!!” …...Really? “Or maybe as a mute diamond dog that bangs Daring-”

[Music ends here.]

“ALRIGHT I GET IT! I’M UNORIGINAL! UNIMAGINATIVE!! PLEASE FOR CHRIST’S SAKE, JUST STOP TALKING!!” I snapped at the rambling humanoid. It’s one thing to hear you’ve made a mistake and it’s another to hear how they could have done it multiple ways better. I’m already starting to dislike this guy.

“Actually, all those have already been used and taken.” Celestia said sheepishly. The ‘god’ looked at her surprised.

“Really? Even a Changeling that’s supposed to be used for mating, but decides to be a rock star?” The princess nodded her head. She then grinned as said "Oh don't worry, he's still mating." Ew, gross!!

“Oh.... well... even a dragon with split personality?” He continued, ignoring what she just said earlier. Wait, split personalities are like voices talking to you in your head. “I hear a voice in my head, does that count?” Am I admitting that I’m crazy? Wait, why did I say that? I don’t even like this guy!

“No, that doesn’t count. That was actually me talking to you in your head. Surprise!”

I couldn’t help but stare at the ‘god’ when he announced he was the voice in my head. I honestly thought I was just crazy ever since I got into this world. But no. He was alongside me this whole time. What the hell man? I bet he’s not even really that smart.

“Ok, ‘God’,” I spitted with venom. “How many fingers am I holding up?” I put both of my hands behind me, and held up three fingers. No ways he can get-

“Three” he simply stated.

Shit! Ok lucky guess, I’ll just change it. Now Two. No-

“Two” DAMN IT. Change!

“Four” COME ON!

“Nine” For pete sakes!

“Six” Damn it!

“Eight” FUCK.

“One”

…...

“Ok then.” I mashed my hands together snapping them, hoping he would get it wrong. Actually this is just getting silly. BUT I WON’T LOSE.

“How many now?” I started off with seven, but switched before he said anything to five.

“Seven” FUCK YAH!

“AH HAH!” I shoved my fingers into his face, showing him my five fin-

…..

…..

…..

Well that’s new...

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” HOW THE HELL DID I GET SEVEN FINGERS! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFFFFF!!

The ‘god’ just shaked his head while laughing, suddenly snapping his fingers and... I’m a dragon again? Who cares, MY FINGERS ARE NOR- and their claws again... with only eight total digits....Fuck.

"You know," He started, flying slowly towards me, examining me. "This is actually the first time I got to see you with my own eyes," HAH! "rather than just be in that empty space you call a brain." He was now circling me, and then stopped to inspect my shield. "These shields are rather impressive though. Meteorite shields. Quite useful things they are. Both in magic enhancement and restraints, and LOOK AT THEM! Their almost as big as me!" He shifted his fez to the other side of his head, Smiled again, then turned to Celestia and said "I think he's kinda cute too!"

............

............

W-what did he say? Did he just call me cute?

.....

I DO NOT SWING THAT WAY!

"Whoa there buddy!" I instantly said, backing away from him and holding up my claws. "I don't go that way. I am a hundred and ten percent heterosexual and last time I checked, I love girls, HUMAN girls." I may be a dragon now, but I really don't intend to find any loving while in... whatever the hell world I'm in.

"And this is why you have little imagination! Your tiny brain can't even go beyond that I was just complimenting you? I'm straight as well, but still. Open minded! You should try using that thing in your head you humans call, a 'brain'!" He teased. I swear, I'm gonna kill this fucker one day. Why wait? I can just kill him now!

Before I could attempt to beat down on this.... thing, the princess intervened between us, blocking my way to kick his ass and giving us both a stern look "William, please control your temper, it seems to cause more harm than good."

That's not entirely true!

Yes it is.

SHUT UP! For christ sake's you're right next to me!

"And please, Ava! Control yourself! You’re acting like an immature child again. Please act like a proper god. What will the others think of you?" Ava crossed his arms and pouted again, mumbling about not being his mother or something of the sort.

"Now then, whether you like it or not, Ava you need a piece to participate in this game, correct?" The pouting god made more mumbling noises, but nodded his head. The princess then turned to me. "And William, you need a god so that can stay in this world to find your brother, yes?"

"Yes, but I don't see why you can't just be it for me?" Can't she just watch over me so I don't have to deal with this fool? I don't really need to switch my deal with someone else, when I perfectly fine being with Celestia.

"Because a certain changeling might become a little jealous if I share myself. Then again, he's really all I need." She started to drift off with her thoughts, grinning so big, it would make the cheshire cat cringe. She’s probably thinking about that changling again...

Again.

Ewwwww.

She shook her head to regain her focus "Besides, you two can be perfect for eachother. Well, as long as you don't bother each other that much."

"Heh. Yah, consider yourself lucky you have a friend like me." The god-in-training stated, having a rather cheerful music starting to come out of nowhere. My mood was NOT the same as the music to say the least.

"What are you talking about?"

"William! I don't think you realize what you got here! Why don't you just ruminate, while I illuminate the possibilities." He magically lifted me onto a random chair while the music started. Oh boy...

Well, Terra had them billion leaves
Poseidon had about a thousand whales
But, William you're in luck cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails.

The room suddenly changed to be me inside a boxing ring, with Ava rubbing my shoulders.

You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp

You got some punch, PIZZAZZ, Yahoo and how
See all you gotta do is think with me
And I'll say

The ring disappeared, suddenly having me in human form but inside a fancy restaurant with Ava as the waiter now.

"Mister William, friend
What will your pleasure be?"
Let me take your order
Jot it down

Yeah you never had a friend like me
No no no

Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre d'
C'mon whisper what it is you want

Yeah you never had a friend like me

Yes friend, we pride ourselves on service
But I'm the boss, the king, the god

Say what you wish
It's yours, true dish
How 'bout a little something more abroad

The restaurant changed, now fitting to a more illuminated wasteland, but with more flashy colors.

Have some of column A
Try all of column B
I'm in the mood to help you dude

You ain't never had a friend like me

Random puppets of himself fell from the sky, dancing around loosely with Ava and scatting with him.

Oh my!
Oh no!
Ha ha ha

Can your friends do this?

Ava started to juggle with random elemental orbs.

Do your friends do that?

He tossed them in the air, creating fireworks.

Do your friends pull this out their little hat?

Ava’s hand went into his hat, and pulled out a full grown black dragon. The dragon then blew out red flames towards my still human form.

Can your friends go, poof?
Well, looky here

Fire spirits were then formed from the flames and dancing around me.

Can your friends go,
Abracadabra
Let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear?

The fire spirits and dragon vanished into smoke.

So doncha sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed
I'm there to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a god for your chare d'affaires

I was now back in dragon form, looking as Ava was dancing around me.

I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what-cha wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's about three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is think like so
And oh

Mister Komodo, friend, have a gift or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob

He then started to summon a whole lot of random creatures, ranging from juggling elephants to dancing walruses.

You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend

You ain't never

Tap dancing diamond dogs! Gleaming piles of gems!

Had a

Roller coasters with loopty loops! Gold as far as the eye could see!

Friend like me!!!

Ava and all the creatures started dancing even more wacky. Laughing like a maniac was Ava in the middle going even crazier than before.

You ain't never had a friend like me
Hah!

Immediately, after the performance, all the creatures and amusement rides he created disappeared into his fez. Celestia appeared besides me again, and started clapping enthusiastically, while Ava just laid there on his stomached, hand under his chin and just grinning with the fez sprouting out a sign saying "Applause". I stared wide eyed at the being in front of me. He just did Aladdin's "Friend like me" with some tweeks, and he sung it extremely on key, even though his natural voice is all deep. He may be a good performer, but I still wasn’t happy about what he said.

"Hey, lighten up, my friend!" Ava said to cheerfully. How can this fool tell me to lighten up. After all that I've been through, with little results to prove it. "As I said before, you are very lucky to have a friend like me." He still has the damn grin on his face. The same one that looks like that fucking old man!

“Lucky to have a friend like you?” I slowly raised myself up, unpleased with his choice of words. Celestia started to back away from me, while Ava fixed himself up, surprised that the performance barely did anything. He moved out of my vision as I stared at the floor beneath me, clenching my fists.

“Lucky. LUCKY!! LUCKY!!!” Yah I was mad.

“IF I WAS SO DAMN LUCKY, I WOULDN’T HAVE TO BE SEARCHING FOR MY BROTHER IN THIS GOD DAMN WORLD!” I shouted with my dragon voice, making Celestia wince a bit. I couldn’t see what Ava was doing, but I had a feeling his mood changed with mine.

“If I was so damn lucky, I would be at home with my brother, probably swimming in the lake, away from this DAMN GAME! IF I WAS SO LUCKY, A GOD DAMN OLD FUCKER WOULDN’T HAVE TAKEN HIM FROM ME! IF I WAS SO FUCKING LUCKY, I WOULDN’T HAVE TO FACE AND KILL THOSE DIAMOND DOGS, THAT MANTICORE, AND THAT FUCKING DRAGON SLAYER!”

I was starting to cry as I remembered again that I killed real living beings, how I just ruthlessly murdered them because ‘it felt right to do at the time’. I listen to my god damn instincts again, but ended up killing. Being just a damn murder with no real reason. I cried when I remembered that I lost my brother out in this world. A world which at first glance looks innocent enough, but is just a cover for all the real shit that goes underneath. Slavery. Murder. Kidnapping. Stealing. I realized I’m starting to slowly lose everything I ever had right underneath me.

“IF I WAS SO DAMN LUCKY, I WOULD HAVE DREW BESIDES ME AT LEAST, AND NOT WITH SOME GOD DAMN DRAGON NAMED RAGNAROK!” Celestia’s eyes widen greatly, her pupils dilating at the sound of that name. She started to stammer a bit, but I didn’t give her a chance with my yelling.

“WHY IS LUCKY ME NOT ALOUD TO EVEN BE WITH HIS BROTHER AFTER I SAVE HIM?!?! IF I FUCKING SAVE HIM!! WHAT KIND OF SHITTY RULE IS THAT ANYWAYS?!? I’M NOT ALOUD TO STAY WITH MY OWN BROTHER?!? AFTER ALL THE SHIT HE’S PROBABLY BEEN THROUGH?!?”

My voice got higher with my rage, crying blood as it stung and dripped onto the bare floor. I’ve only been here for less than a week, and I’m already breaking down... I’ve already killed creatures, lied to my only friend here, destroy a village in rage, and ruined many lives... and that kid pony...

“That poor kid. He watched his own parents die in that village raid... a raid that was meant to find both me and Drew... AN ATTACK, THAT WAS MEANT TO KILL ME AND STEAL DREW!!! THEY DID ALL THAT BECAUSE OF ME DAMN IT!! BECAUSE I WAS SENT INTO THIS WORLD!!”

I pointed an accusing finger at Celestia, who was now starting to tear up as well. Ava was still no where within my sights, but that was because I was only focused on the goddess now.

“WHY?!? WHY THE FUCK AM I EVEN IN THIS WORLD!?!? TO BE A PUPPET IN YOUR STUPID GAME?!?! TO BE JUST ANOTHER GOD DAMN PIECE OF A PUZZLE?!? A PIECE IN A GOD DAMN CHESS GAME?!?”

My voice started to tremble a bit, thinking again to the deaths of many that were caused BECAUSE OF ME. No... because of her. She did this to me. SHE STARTED THIS!

“Y-you did this to me!!! Y-y-you made me into a killing machine!! INTO A FUCKING M-MONSTER!!! YOU CAUSED ALL THIS PAIN AND SUFFERING!? WHAT KIND OF A GODDESS ARE YOU?!?!” I was now running to her, my hands burning with fire, being fueled by my rage against her. The blood from my tears rolled down my scaly face as I charged at the guilty pony, who was surprised at the sudden treachery. “YOU WANT ME TO BE A MONSTER?!? I’LL BE A MONSTER NOW AND END YOUR LIFE!!!”

I reached out with my claws, having every single intention of attacking her, destroying her, and making her wish she never had disturbed me and Drew’s peaceful lives. I was so close, her eyes shut, but her horn glowing. I know magic can barely affect me, a little helpful advice I got from Firewing, which is why I have every intention of still running full speed ahead. Nothing will stop-

*CLICK*

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

With a sudden noise, I was ferociously tumbling at max speed into the fog, and away from the frozen pony. I tried to stop myself from tumbling but the mysterious force was just so powerful, my bruised body just kept on rolling on the dirt. When I finally stopped and had a breather, I look in the direction I was blasted from to see I was now faced with a very angry god-in-training, holding a .49 LC revolver in my direction, with its smoky barrel aiming just for my head.

“You really are an idiot, aren’t you?” He quietly said, having it so that I could barely hear him. I tried to rise up, but he just shook his head and pointed his gun down, as if commanding me to stop whatever I planed on doing. I obeyed so I won’t be anymore wounded.

“Princess Celestia is not the cause of your pain,” He started. “That would be the old man you mentioned earlier. And as for why Drew was taken, it’s because fate is a harsh mistress that can’t always be controlled by gods. If we could control everything, the world would be such a boring and different place. With no real freedom. No real spirit. No real lives to live. You wouldn’t be living now, if we could control fate.” He seemed to be quiet for a bit as he collected his thoughts more. Meanwhile, I heard the distant sounds of clopping going at a fast pace. Must be that damn goddess to see that I’m not dead or some shit.

“Now, as for the reason for those killings.” He looked directly into my eyes, his soulless, while mine was still burning with rage. “You did what you had to survive. You also didn’t kill that dragon slayer, just wound him, but thats besides the point.”

“If you didn’t, you would’ve been dead. Just a corpse in the dirt, along with the rest. I would be without a piece in this game.” The selfish bastard! Who does he- “And Drew would be without his brother. Without his protector. Without his guardian. He would lose his only family member he has with him in this world, and he would be lost and alone. He will still be in the clutches of Ragnarok. Which leads me to my last point.” I was stunned as I couldn’t think of what else to say. I haven’t honestly thought about what would happen if I did die now.

Celestia was now able to been seen at a distance, sprinting her way over to us, with a look of worry on her face. I turned back to Ava as he still aimed the gun at me.

“If you keep up with this hatred, you’ll be exactly the same as him. As Ragnarok.”

…..

…....

“W-what?” I finally said, the rage quickly dissipating from me and soon replaced with fear.

“You’ll end up just like Ragnarok.” He repeated when Celestia finally caught up to us, stopping and panting a bit next to Ava. “He was once a human like you, sent to from his world on a purpose to just test out the transformation and dimension-traveling spell. There was a mistake though in the imperfect spell, and it caused him to be only half of what he wished to be, and sent him more than 1000 years into the past.”

“He was nice at first, a regular brony if you will. But he soon grew darker and more hatred for what he became. He blamed Celestia, who performed the imperfect spells on him, and eventually corrupted luna, pushing her into becoming Nightmare Mood herself. He was one of the commanders in the griffon war. Was very skillful in the art of latin magic.”

“After Nightmare’s banishment, Ragnarok was imprisoned inside a tartarus cell. Celestia didn’t want to kill him, but didn’t want him roaming around the world after what he had done. He was erased from all history and memory, thanks to a few powerful spells, and was never to be heard about again.”

“Celestia then learned from her future’s imperfect spell, and perfected it during her spare time, now being able to do both spells, with little to no problem. Ragnarok’s hatred, led him to his demise and was erased from all existence because of what he did.”

Ava finally lowered his weapon after the lecture and history lesson, and held out a hand. I just stared at it, contemplating whether I should trust it or not. Going against my anger, I grabbed his hand and was lifted back to my feet.

“You saying that he has your brother, means that he is released from his cell, and that he is now out and about in this world. Meaning that the cell is either destroyed or...” He paused as if expecting me to finish for him. I just stayed quiet, expecting him to go on, until Celestia out roared “He’s been replaced with another half-dragon!”

“Exactly,” Ava said grimly “The cell was only meant to hold down a half dragon, with human essence in him. Drew just happened to fit that description, so Ragnarok took the advantage and switched himself with Drew before the spell could react. He would need to release a ton of magic to even stun the magic in the cell to let him free, and only temporarily too.”

“Well, he most likely has been storing up energy while trapped for a 1000 years.” Celestia added in.

“Meaning he’s now free to take his revenge upon you. You must be more cautious now.” The goddess just smiled and said “I have my shining knight to protect me, so no need to worry that much. I’ll take my leave then”

Her face then turned to one of anguish when she then faced me. “And I’m so sorry I couldn’t prevent what was about to happen to both you and Drew as well as unable to help you now... I’m so sorry, William.” I turned my head away from her, not wanting to see the goddess at the moment. Celestia was more saddened by this sudden action and decided to leave, not wanting to cause more harm. She turned and started to trot towards the fog.

Before she left, I felt a sudden pull of guilt in my heart, a feeling I really don’t like to feel, especially with a crying women...pony... goddess.

“Celestia,” The pony in question turned her head towards me. “I’m sorry as well. It wasn’t entirely your fault, but I still accept your apology, if you accept mine for snapping at you earlier.” The shiny alicorn smiled at this. “Of course I do, William. Now I will see you later. Hopefully in a better mood.” With that, she vanished into the darkening fog, leaving the confused player with his piece.

“What’s with the sudden change of heart?” Ava raised an eyebrow as he asked. I just stared blankly at my claws, which has caused more harm than good ever since I arrived here. “You said hatred is what caused Ragnarok’s downfall, correct?” The fez wearing god only nodded his head. “Well, what I’ve done so far is just became angry at everything, not really helping myself at all. I need to learn how to control this rage, so that I won’t have to murder anymore out of pure rage.”

Ava chuckled a bit, then smiled. “You know what, Celestia was right, I’m liking you already.” Wait what? “Your learning from your mistakes. Adapting. One thing you humans seemed to have learned quite well.” He held out his right hand again. “I propose, a deal.”

“What kind of deal?” I suspiciously said.

“Well, you help me win this game, helping me finally become a full fledged god, and I’ll help you control that rage of yours, so you won’t end up like Ragnarok. Heck, even help you try and find where Drew is.” I thought for a few secs, seeing if there were any loopholes that he could use to his advantage, or any that I could use. After some careful thinking, I grabbed his hand with mine and gave a firm shake.

“All right, I accept.”

I don’t know if I just got an answer to some of my problems or if I just made a deal with the devil himself.

“Hehehe, good,” Ava then put both of his hands on my shoulders, looking at me with what felt like sympathy, and smiling a heart warming smile. Was he really just trying to be my friend? I thought it was just to put a show on in front of Celestia, but he genuinely wants to help me. This guy might not be such a bad-

“Do you like oranges?” He said, tilting his head to the side as he waited for me to answer the dreaded question.

........

I hate this guy so much...

Should I answer it like before or just keep quiet, so I won't be flung out of the world again, but wait, this is an orange, not a banana, so does it mean something different? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?!?!?!?

Before I could think of anything to say about the sudden change in fruit, he moved his hand to the side of my arms and launched me into the fog filled skies, shouting:

“Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?”

“THAT WAS REALLY LAME!!” I shouted back as I flew through the air. I have a bad feeling this is going to be happening alot with me.

~~~ Meanwhile ~~~

“I hear it again, mama.” The young drakling said, staring at the ground beneath her as she tried to find the source of the scraping noise. The hoard had finally settled down inside a nice crater, away from all the recent commotion going on throughout the world. A small red youngling was busy sleeping next to his giant mother as they laid near the center of the resting hoard. That is, they were until the youngling heard noises coming from underneath him.

“I believe it’s just your imagination, young one. Please get some rest for tomorrow.” The mother kindly said to her child as she went back to her resting her tired body. The noise continued for the child, until he started to dig towards it again. When he only had a handful of dirt dug out, the noise immediately stopped, ceasing any more annoying sounds. The young dragon, pleased with the new silence, went towards the mother’s belly, circled around in his spot, and then curled up near his mother, quickly drifting off into slumber.

Only to be suddenly awakened by a loud roar, and a sound of a new voice echoing throughout the crater..

“Look at you, you so called “Great beasts”, all of you just sleeping here, tired and exhausted.” The heads of all the dragons searched for the source of the voice, only to find a misshapen figure at the edge of the crater, staring down at them all.

The figure’s right side looked like any other black dragon, but his left side was concealed with a cloak reaching down to his scaly legs. His head was scaled black, with White spikes down the middle, but his left side was concealed with a mask covering his forehead down to his chin. The dragon’s would have mistaken him for any other dragon, if not for the awkward size of his small body, but with an enormous sized dragon wing on his right. The figure brought out his right claw, extending it to all the creatures within the crater, then spoke with high authority.

“You dragons have once been kings! Have once been such strong creatures, not once been challenged by such underlying creatures except amongst yourselves. NOW LOOK AT YOU!” He dramatically shifted his hands to his right, as if this was nothing but a play to him.

“You now die so quickly to the very things that used to fear you. That used to tremble beneath your quaking claws. You die so easily by the griffins! The diamond dogs! Even those damn ponies!” Some of the dragons were muttering between each other, while others were starting to anger and impatience, wishing for the mysterious intruder to hurry and make his point.

“When in actuality, they’re all JUST DIFFERENT CREATURES IN DISGUISE! These creatures are humans, even more insignificant than the ponies! You will all keep dying under these creatures! Unless...” The figure extended out his hand, showing as much care and trust he could muster on his face. “You join me, and we can rebuild that once powerful reputation you all had! We can rebuild a kingdom under a new order! MINE! What do you all say?!”

Silence filled the crater as all the dragons considered the mystery figure his offer. All was silent with the dragons, all the eyes staring at this awkward dragon as he stood there on the edge, smiling a genuine smile, awaiting their answer.

Finally, a large purple dragon with torn wings laughed hysterically, with some of those near him joining in on the amusement. Soon, the whole hoard was laughing with the old drake, making the figure suddenly frown at their antics.

The drake coughed a bit, then got his breathing back from all the laughter.“You honestly think we’ve lost our way? We’re not weak as the others say, we also know that no such creatures known as ‘humans’ have existed in this world. So take your leave stranger,” Firewing growled, showing his razor sharp teeth at the figure. “Or else we’ll rip you to shreds.” The other dragons followed the elders lead, growling and snarling at the lunatic.

“If that’s how you see it, so be it. One last chance though, before I end you all.” The crazy dragon pressed his claws against his silver mask, clutching it with both of his eyes closed. “Join me, or die!” The stranger harshly said a second time. The dragons still stubornly ignored the ‘kind offer’ and those that had wings, flared them out, showing their authority and strength, tempting the stranger to do what he threatened.

“Very well.” The dragon removed his claws from his mask that was still attached to his face, then glared at the hoard as he reached out with his left limb, which was a weird fleshy texture with a peach like color to it, and had 5 digits, instead of 4. The weird creature then put his finger and thumbs together and commanded:

“I will end you all with just one word. The last word anyone of you will hear before you all die. A word that you will hold onto as you breath your final breath in this slowly rotting world.” With these words, the creature snapped his odd digits, causing a sudden earthquake to happen underneath the angered dragons.

The now confused dragons looked around, wondering how such a creature can cause all this with just a sudden snap. Before any dragons were smart enough to respond to the quake, the floor underneath all of them collapsed all in one go, bringing down all the dragons into the deep dark abyss below. Those with wings tried to fly themselves to safety, but were quickly knocked back by the falling depri of the stones and dirt above.

All the dragons soon landed into a dark cavern, anything but natural made. The walls were high above then any of the dragons could reach, with small tunnels all around too small for them to hide into, with the only ray of hope up above from where they fell. Many of the dragons were wounded, but some were only bruised from the fall. That was until a glowing gem-tipped arrow shot them onto their scales, exploding upon impact. Many of the dragons looked up to see that the creature was now surrounded with diamond dogs, each having their own bow and gem-tipped arrows aiming at fallen drakes.

With another snap from the creature, all the arrows shot down in a rain that blocked the only ray of light unto the cavern, exploding upon impact from the touch of the ground and the touch of the scales of the dragons. Dragons were exploding left and right, some losing limbs, while most were bleeding from such damages. Mothers did their best to protect their young, but where only blasted away from the hellfire arrows that decimated them all. All the drakes within the isolated cavern were struck with the explosive arrows, unable to find real shelter and cover, other than that of the dead corpses that now filled the floors of the cavern.

When the firing stopped, the drakes looked around to find that their own brethren destroyed, their own limbs missing from the explosion, and the younglings shocked at what happened. When they took the chance for a breather, the dragons soon realized they were surrounded by hundreds of hungry diamond dogs, each having steel armor and weapons among them, and their eyes filled red under the command of their leader.

The dogs looked up towards their master, awaiting the command to attack, as the few handful of dragons prepared themselves for the strike. The creature smiled at all of his pets fine work, how they stealthily dug underneath the drake’s own nest without their notice, making it deep enough for them to be able to simply fly out, and small enough for the drakes to have little room to maneuver with the many of them there. He supposed he could give them this at least.

With just one word, he unleashed the fury of the diamond dogs upon the wounded dragons. One word that seems so innocent, but has now caused fear within the shrunken hoard. He said it so easily, but had it mean so much for the dogs. One little word...

“Fetch.”

The hundreds of diamond dogs all ran towards the dragon, under the command of their leader, attacking without restraints, without fear, without any feelings, other than to please their ‘majesty’ and pleased he was very at how much of a show they performed for him underneath, as he watched the carnage from above. How the dragons tried their best to stop the attackers, but the relentless assault made them weary, and soon, was just a contest on how much a diamond dog can make a dragon bleed.

An alpha ran up the hill towards the creatures position, disrupting the creature’s enjoyment from above. He panted for a bit as he waited for his lungs to be filled with air. When he was more calmed, the light grey diamond dog stood at attention.

“Your majesty,” He started, having trouble to speak correctly. “A blue dragon is escaping! Should dogs shoot down dragon to amuse his majesty?” The creature turned behind him to look at the tired alpha, then look past him to the barren horizon to see a small blue prick in the distance, running from all the mayhem.

Besides the alpha, another diamond dog had his bow drawn back, squinting and aiming for running speck. He was about to release the gem-tipped arrow until someone told him otherwise.

“No,” The half-drake simply stated, holding out his right claw to stop the shot. “Let it run. We want our message to be heard.” The archer dog nodded his head, then proceeded back to shoot at the carnage below. The alpha stared at his master, tilting his head in confusion. “What message would that be?”

The beast began his trek down the hill, away from the crater and ignoring his alpha. The alpha, seeing that his master was taking his leave, followed with him. “Have the our survivors bring the dead bodies back to the den, so we may use it for weapons and such. Also, if any dragon survived that, I want you to bring them to me personally. I will deal with them myself.”

“Master, You still did not answer alpha’s question: What is our message?” The alpha wondered, before he would go back to follow the orders. The creature stopped in his tracks, still looking towards the horizon, noticing the small speck was no more.

“The message is simple, my little friend,” The alpha felt a sudden wave of fear overcome him as his majesty spoke, tingling his spine and pricking his fur high. The creature turned to him, and grinned like a mad psychopath, showing his dread teeth.

“The beast is back for the princess.” With that, Ragnarok continued down the hill, laughing like a maniac. The alpha stood there, still trying to figure out what the message meant. giving up, he turned back to the crater, where he went to do his orders.

“Yes, Ragnarok is back...”

“And all those who stand in my way shall know true pain!”
