“Oooh you don’t want to go that way darling.” Elizabeth quickly stopped her. “I saw your staff, but it’s in the hands of their Leader.”
“Leader?” Rachel stopped her approach and turned to her. “You saw the staff??”
“And part of its magic. Oh I wished I could have documented it, but the leader has it and she’s ruthless. There was a lava pit where I just came from. These Temple Dwellers are more organized, they are chanting.” Elizabeth whimpered. “I know we need that staff but back there is nothing but death, we’ll get it another way.”
“Chanting…? Do you know what they were chanting?” Rachel asked. Her eyes turned back to the dead Dwellers.
These things could talk??
Elizabeth frowned. “So many things were happening at the same time, I didn’t know how to describe it I’m afraid. Something on the lines of…Varuta Volka, La Rúna.”
“Varuta Volka, La Rúna?” Rachel repeated. She muttered the words, recognizing the words as it was being spoken. Her eyes widened. “Hail the Mighty Queen Rúna.” Rachel translated.
“Excuse me? Rúna? As in your ancestor Rúna?” Elizabeth questioned. “Unless this name just had been passed down into this generation of this breed, I don’t see how it’s the same for centuries ago.”
Queen Rúna… no that’s not possible… Rachel thought. “You’re probably right…then again, we’re dealing with forces we don’t understand. Magic is wanky at best.”
“Especially with different types of magic. Let’s go find our friends.” Elizabeth said as she and Rachel left the library. However, thoughts began invading Rachel’s mind as a mystery was beginning to slowly unravel itself in front of her.
These dragon/human hybrid dwellers being a literal hidden cult society isn't very much surprising for me.
But what is it eerily surprising; is why does this remind me of that particular Indian Thuggee Cult from Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom?
Or even that human enemy cult; The Solarii Brotherhood from the first Tomb Raider Reboot Trilogy of 2013 video game?
I hope that the "twist" doesn't forced Ruma to be evil. Kind of like Queen Yamatai; The Japanese Sun Queen was from the Tomb Raider 2013 video game, and NOT from that bad-adaptation of the movie.
She reached out and touched Rachel's shoulders. "Dear, you have pretty much the weight of both worlds on your shoulders. You feel like your life is completely falling apart, especially when the love of your life is gone. Fearing he may not come back, especially in your time of need. Dear heavens, the thought of going something like that with my love Kol scares me. I do hope your love comes back to you. However, I hate to say it, but in the end, he won't matter. Nothing else will matter, not the war, not ruling a kingdom. Nothing will matter but this little one." She placed a hand on Rachel's womb. Feeling the baby.
Rachel shuddered by her touch, letting go of her head and looked at Elizabeth.
"This baby is the most important, beautiful thing in your life. The first words they'll say? "Mama, mama."." Elizabeth smiled genuinely at her. "The baby won't look for daddy when they get sick or scared, they'll call for you. It'll cry for you and be so happy to have you as their mother. You will be a good mother. It may not look like it now with how things are going, but when they are born, you will be great at it. D-do you have anyone back in Equestria? Friends, found family?”
I know the baby is important, but that's a bit f****** harsh to say against Spike. Rachel should be a little peeved at you.
And "nothing else will matter, not even war" MY ASS!!!!
This war is still goddamn important, especially if you're very own two planets being in danger, because of the stupid portal being active for too long. That baby sadly won't have a future, if there is no frickin planet to live in!!!!
And aren't you freaking forgetting on who's in charge of the antagonizing force on the human side? Rachel's own dickhead of a "father". I highly doubt that evil man will "approve" of Rachel's pregnancy. So both him, and Sombra back in Equestria needs to be freaking taken out.
And find a way to clear this stupid misunderstanding and make peace with humanity and ponykind.
And THEN, the hybrid baby can have a happy ending with BOTH parents where it's supposed to be.
I'm just saying, I'm just caring about the bigger picture here that billions of innocent lives from both worlds, or our own two planet's existence being on the line here.
Elizabeth snarled before raising her hands, it glowing blue. She raised her shields up, blocking the path. “No! You don’t get to walk away after you nearly killed me!”
“We don’t have time to just sit here. More of them are going to come.” Rachel snapped.
“We’re going to make time, right now.” Elizabeth then pointed at her. “You’ve been nothing but rude and cold to me since you came here when I had not done a single thing to earn this harsh treatment. I can see you had some sort of traumatic event happen to you in Equestria, but it has nothing to do with me!”
“You don’t know a damn thing about what happened to me. Don’t just sit there and say you do!” Rachel snarled, walking up to her.
“Then tell me!” Elizabeth threw her hands up. “Since your anger is directly at me, I’m assuming you have rage towards Rarity. What did the other me do that was so terrible that you’re taking your frustrations out on me?!”
“Oh! You wanna know? You wanna know?!” Rachel yelled. “Lemme tell you! First off, she had never liked me since the moment we met, she sent three ponies after me and as a result I nearly got raped by one of them, poisoned my mate and I once and I ended up in the hospital. Poisoned my mate again and he ended up turning into a 50 foot mindless beast and went on a blood thirsty rampage, killing and burning everything in sight. In the end he left me BECAUSE OF HER!” she ended up screaming.
Elizabeth’s eyes widened in horror as Rachel told her.
“All because she could not fucking stand me being with Spike when she had never cared for him in the first place! Spike used to worship her every move before meeting me, even so much that he asked her to marry him. She basically took his love, threw it back in his face and told him to piss off without much caring how it’ll impact him. When he turned his love to someone who actually reciprocated it back to him, giving him the love and care he so deserves, she could not stand that! Rarity didn’t care about anyone but herself and ended up dying for what she did! If she was alive, I’d fucking make sure she suffers every, waking, moment for the rest of her fucking life FOR WHAT SHE DID! In death, she tore my family apart!” By then, fresh hot tears just cascaded down Rachel’s face, her voice crackled, body trembling. “If she had just stayed in her lane and not butt in and left well enough alone, I wouldn’t be going through this pregnancy alone!”
Rachel then gripped the sides of her head, grabbing fistfuls of her hair, wanting to rip the hairs off of her head. "I hate her, I fucking hate her so much, I can't even stand you! Your voice, the way you act, everything about you makes me so sick to look at!!"
Elizabeth stared in silence for the longest time. Letting what Rachel said sink in. Purely disgusted with what the other her has done to Rachel and so many others.
She looked at the ground, taking deep breaths before speaking up. "I'm… so sorry for what you went through. What Rarity did to you and your family. Her actions were appalling, revolting. Cannot believe I'm tied to that travesty… but darling, I am not her, I am not Rarity. I've been Elizabeth much longer than my friends and I go by our pony names. We do that since we were able to use magic." She looked at Rachel, trying to be calm and considerate to her. "My friends and I help those who need it here. I do own a clothing store and do designs but the profits I make help to fund my baby sister Sofie's college. She's going to Harvard in the fall and we can't be any more proud of her. I make clothes and give them to the homeless. And trust me, you have no clue how much a difference it makes on a person when they have received a whole new set of clothes. With a good wardrobe, they can go out, get a respectable job in society and improve their lives."
Do you remember that I sort of suggested a while ago; That maybe we could have a scene where Pony Rarity is finally suffering in the Hell/Tartarus, and the literal Spirit Manifestations of the sixth Elements of Harmony, came by to "visit" Rarity for the first and last time.
And each of them will give their own two cents of heavily chastising her, being very disgusted of her horrible unforgivable actions against Spike, Rachel, betraying her own friends, along with letting innocent ponies die because of her stupid jealousy/envy and very HYPOCRITICAL actions.
And her former Element; Generosity doesn't pull any punches from it's harsh words against Rarity, and it actually wish that it shouldn't have chosen her in the first place, and should have chose someone else from the beginning with Nightmare Moon.
11652807 Oh daddy dearest won't even care. Those two have unfinished business. He's only antagonistic towards Rachel.
Its a long time coming so. If he didn't know his daughter was going to be in that Temple, he would've hunted her down back in Equestria and if Rarity haven't pulled that stunt, Spike would've gladly take him off the census and Rachel would've watched while eating popcorn.
I do have the first reboot game too, twice completed and know the story by heart.
Still didn't get Rise of the Tomb Raider or Shadow of the Tomb Raider yet. Due to the mix reviews and controversial stuff over fans that they weren't as great, or even bad games compared over the first one.
( And also referenced the Indiana Jones movies. )
P.S.
I nearly forgot to say something earlier; That while the Spirit Manifestations of The Elements of Harmony do visit for the first/last time Rarity in Hell/Tartarus to give her "Why you suck" speech.
I think Twilight herself should receive a quite similar, but quite different chastising from her own element of magic too.
Considering she also somewhat f***** up with Spike/Rachel in the past. And maybe hearing the spirit manifestation of your own freaking element will finally get through to Twilight thick dumb skull that she was really a terrible sister-figure/"friend" to Spike after all these years.
And her being slightly xenophobic to Rachel just because she love Spike, isn't helping her image.
Twilight is a hypocritical and terrible representation of the princess of "friendship".
And hearing that from her literal spirit manifestation of her own element of magic would be exciting to read.
11652832 I have all three due to me like to have a complete series, despite the contraversal stuff, its still a good game series which I'm playing all the second time around. The third of the series being my favorite because I'm a sucker for Mayan art and bit of history.
And I only seen a couple if Indiana Jones. Crystal Skull being my least favorite.

She's not evil, however, you're not wrong.... corrupted yes, but not evil.
Also ten points for mentioning the Tomb Raider the rebooted trilogy - which I have personally XD

Thanks.
Great chapter. I'm happy that Rachel finally told Elizabeth about Rarity and the past events.
