A forsaken necromancer from the undercity hires an inexperienced mage and pays him to create a portal, this portal is supposed to go to Shattrah city, but what happens when everything goes wrong?

Indeed, what will I do when everything goes wrong? When I end up in a land where my speciality is frowned upon like a curse or taboo, what can one do?
Indeed, what can I do?

God damn mages!

"Hurry up you worthless mage! Why did I even hire you?" The Necromancer asked, pointing an accusing finger on the mage that was doing his best to set up the portal.
"I told you to stop stressing me! Making portals across two worlds aren't easy you know." The mage stated as he resumed the ritual which finally seemed to spark up a portal.
"There, that's the outlands. I still don't get why you couldn't have just taken The Dark Portal and flown to shattrah." The mage asked while making a gesture with his left hand.
"I'm an undead ambassador, do you think I have that kind of time, fool?" The necromancer responded and approached the portal, but it didn't seem like it lead to shattrah, it was too dark for that.
"Are you sure that this portal leads to the outlands?
I've been all over it and can't remember this place, it's too bright to be in the Shadowmoon Valley, too dark to be in the Netherstorm and too many trees to be in Blade's Edge Mountain, if it was in Zangramash we would see monsters and blue-ish trees trying to eat us. And again, it's too dark for Nagrand."
The Necromancer stated, now looking at the mage who soundly swallowed.
"Are you trying to kill me? Are you an allience traitor?! I'll kill you, rip your soul from the depths of hell and torture it untill you wish you had never existed to begin with!" The necromancer blasted in his face, the mage yelped and blinked into a wall.
"Useless mages, fine, what's the worst thing that can happen taking this portal? If I come to the wrong place i'll just ask another mage." The Necromancer said as he stepped into the portal, he felt a familiar tingling sensation and as he exited on the other side of the portal, he instantly lost his balance and fell flat on his face.
"Hello ground, nice meeting you there! How's the wife and kids? Good? ah good..."
Sitting up he cleared his throat before screaming.
"God dammit! That scammer, I mean just urgh! By the beard of the seven gods I swear i'll kill you!"
The Necromancer roared out into the dark night and looked around his surroundings.
"Looks like i'm in the Trisfal Glades, now which way's brill? Umm, let's look for a familiar land mark shall we?"
The Necromancer looked around trying to spot the ocean or undercity, but to no avail.
As he stood up he noticed he had trouble standing.
He tried again and went tumbling backwards, he knew something was wrong.
He looked at his hands...
But they weren't hands!
THEY WERE...
Still hands.
"Dam, I must've been drinking some pretty strong stuff." the necromancer chuckled at himself, finally regaining balance he stood up.
"Hmm, I lived in the Trisfial Glades for the longest times, but I can't remember this place..."

Seeing a mountain in the distance, he instantly thought ' I must be close the scarlet monastery, which means that undercity is to the south from here, more or less' the necromancer began walking towards what he thought would be the Undercity, but he soon began to hear movement around him.
"...Must be a demon dog, Come out will ya?! I'll make quick work of ya then i'll move on!" Two manticores jumped out from either side, catching the Necromancer by surprise.
"By Sylvanis breasts! What magnificent creatures!" The manticores stopped midair at the unafraid corpse in front of them, and as they regained their senses they could feel that something was... wrong.

"I simply must add you to my ghoul collection!"

The two manticores recoiled at the word 'Ghoul' and took it as an offense, they charged the necromancer without knowing how strong he was.
"Oh my, such fierce beasts, I might make one of you my new mount!" The necromancer began laughing like a maniac before sending out what seemed to be a blast of fire into their faces, he then put his hands on them and said

"Noth lo nud novas gothalgos Algos. lo nud novas veld goth an."

Instantly the two manticores froze before screaming out in agony, letting out an ear-piercing roar in pain before going stiff.
"Oh, your souls aren't escaping my grasp!" The necromancer said before placing his palms on both of the manticores before saying.

"Barad ras tiras ko novas veld odes ruff."

The souls that seemed to be leaving the bodies quickly took a sharp turn for the Necromancer, entering his body.
The necromancer walked around a bit until stumbling into a cave, looking around it seemed to be fairly unused and in good condition, not lived in at all.
He sat down for a moment, looking for sleep.
"Even if I do not need sleep, it can't harm to pass time" He snickered for himself as he drew a circle around him, protecting him from most outside threats.
He was jolted awake by a sudden white flash and a tall horse with wings and horns standing a few meters in front of him, looking at him as if he were the plague itself.
"Interesting... What is this creature? I haven't seen anything like it..." it said in a female voice and looked around me, trying to touch my but the barrier scorching her hoof.
"Hmm... Well, it seems like I can not touch it... I wounder what it was doing in Griffin Territory this high up north..."
She trailed of in thinking before flashing her horn, making me appear in front of a small village where the sun were shining ever so brightly.

"This is utmost interesting, I believe I'm not in the eastern kingdoms anymore, or Kalimdoor, heck! I don't even think i'm in Azeroth anymore, damn shouldn't have left my hearthstone in the bank" The necromancer sighed and started walking towards the town.

There seemed to be no one out on the streets and there wasn't movement for as long as the eye could see.
Nor was there a blacksmith or boutique in sight, the doors to the houses were too low for even your average human but seemed to radiate with warmth... Not a single soul had looked out a window for as long as he had walked... at least what he had seen.

Then it hit him.
The reason he wasn't seeing anyone was because...
Mother of god.
This town is populated by invisible naked friendly dwarfs!

The necromancer went wide-eyes at this thought but didn't allow it to distract him as he made his way past the houses until a house in a tree caught his eye... sockets.

" A house in a tree? Perhaps it's nude invisible dwarf night elves?" The necromancer thought as he walked down the road until he came to the house.
Slightly knocking at the door (Which seemed to be a bit taller than the others.) with his bony knuckle, he could hear a female voice from the inside.

"This is a public library, feel free to come in."

That... That isn't orcish? It feels just like Common speech, thank god he had actually mastered it, but now it's almost guaranteed that this town is populated by allience, but if that's the case why hadn't they come out with swords over heads charging at me? The necromancer thought, he then realized he'dd been standing there for a good thirty seconds and decided to open the door.

Inside the house was indeed a library, but there was books floating around the place in some weird purple aura, the aura felt like magic. However he knew that Human paladins don't use this kind of magic.

He heard a voice coming from upstairs, the same female voice that had told him it was okey to come in. "I'm comming don't worry." But down from the stairs was not a human like he had expected it to be, instead down the stairs came a purple unicorn.
She turned around and looked at me, and I looked at her.

If I still had jaw it would probably be on the floor right now.
Her jaw however literary hit the floor and stayed there for a good five seconds before she somehow regained her senses and pulled it up into it's correct location.

She stared at me for almost a full minute before I started reaching for her, she let out a yelp and flew back into the wall, wait she had wings? Huh, what does that make her? A pugicorn? Anyways...
The necromancer stood there shocked like lighting had struck him (If he were alive that is.) and just looked at the unicorn with wings as she retreated into the corner, letting out a silent sob, she slowly looked back at him and returned to sobbing, her mind seemed unable to focus.

I began walking towards her and sat down next to her (her head still faced the wall.) and began stroking my bony fingers through her mane, she seemed to have difficulties breathing, and that's when it happen.
I could sense an extremely powerful soul leaving a body, and I could no longer hear the winged unicorn breath, I began to panic a little, the last thing I wanted to do was to be charged for murder in a new world.

Quickly regaining my senses he brought out his knife and cut his left hand (the hand that still had blood in it.) and let the blood drops form a circle around the unicorn with wings, I quickly called upon the gods and, somehow I managed to convince them that it wasn't her time.
Well, not so much convincing when he said that 'i'll summon demons and slaughter this entire village if they didn't'.

As the powerful soul returned to it's body he smiled and started feeling wobbly, using this much energy wasn't something he was used to.
Standing up was impossible, the necromancer barely had enough energy to breath.
Resting against the wall in a siting position, he passed out.

Present time.
"Are you sure about that, Princess Twilight Sparkle?" I heard a deep male voice say and hoofsteps coming from at least eight different sources surrounding me.
"Yes, I am, this... Creature rescued my life, I think I can trust him, I still have to ask him how he did it however...."
I heard the same female voice as the one I heard in the library say, followed by hoofsteps coming from at least six different sources exiting the house.

He began opening his eyes (Well, it's hard to explain because he doesn't have any.)
Only to notice three ponies, all with horn and wings, even if the White and blue ones were clearly taller than the purple one.
The white one walked towards me and I lift my hands to greet it, the blue one jumped a little whilst the purple one looked at me curiously, the white one however just chuckled and began talking.

"Hello there, my little creature." She said with a motherly smile, if I had a heart it would probably melt.
I let out a silent cough before rising to my feet, I looked the white one in the eyes before smiling the best I could. (Hard to smile without a jaw, as it turns out.)
"Hello, white one." I said with a raspy voice that could easily be used to sharpen a dull hammer into a battle ax.
All three unicorns with wings recoiled as I spoke, the purple one even covered her ears with books. (Lisn' to the words!)
The white one approached me again, more carefully this time.
"Excuse me for asking but... What are you, exactly?" Heh, I guess I really aren't on Azeroth anymore.
I began speaking but noticed how the purple one covered her ears.
"Wait... A second..." I said as I opened my side bag and brought out a glass of water (Which seemed to be bigger than the bag itself.) and began drinking.

After ten seconds of drinking I put the glass of water down beside me, I then cleared my throat and began talking.
"I am Forsaken, My name is classified but you can call me Scythe until further notice." I said as I began to look at the purple unicorn with wings who seemed to have calmed down a bit, good, I thought.

All three of them looked confused, but the white one still held her smile up.
"What exactly is a... 'Forsaken'? Is it some kind of tribe?" The white one asked again, now looking at me curiously, she obviously could not see beneath my helmet (A fire red and orange hoodie.)
"Are you sure you want to know miss...?"
"Celestia, my name is Celestia."
"Very well then, Celestia, are you sure you want to know? This could cause mental scars on you."
"Scythe, We appreciate your concerns but i'm over a thousand years old, I think there's little in this world that could still scarr or surprise me." Celestia said and the blue one nodded in agreement.
A thousand years huh? Well, that isn't too far-fetched I guess.
I then pointed at the purple one that seemed to lose her smile once I pointed towards her "What about her..? She died when she first saw me."ยจ

Celestia and the blue one looked very confused, then they looked at twilight that nodded very shyly, and then they all looked at me.

"How? She's alive! she's standing right there!" The blue one said as she pointed a hoof in the purple ones direction.
"Well you see Miss... I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch your name." The necromancer said as he started popping his limbs, letting out sickening cracks.

"My name is Luna, Princess of the Night." The blue one replied standing firm.
"Very well then, Luna... Ah let's just hope you ponies aren't too quick to judge, you see I used necromancy and blood magic t-" A blue bolt erupted from Luna's horn and struck me square in the chest, damn that hurt.

I stood up again and locked Luna's magic with negative emotions. (A mind that's in shambles can't focus.). Clearing my throat "As I were saying, I used necromancy and blood magic to return her soul to her body before it was too late."
Luna looked as if I had just slapped her across the face using a pillow filled with bricks, Celestia looked doubtful, sad and happy at the same time. (Don't ask me how that's even possible.)

The purple one however seemed to pass out when I finished my sentence.
"She had a heart attack from my sudden appearance and the stress proved too much to handle for her poor little heart, she died just seconds after my appearance. I used my blood to form a circle around her body, trapping the soul in there, after that I returned it to her rightful body."

Celestia looked dumbfounded, I wonder why?
"B-u earugh wh-- just..." Luna began to stumble over her words, you see Negative emotions corrupt a certain part of your brain, seems like this time slight grief overtook her left side.
"I saved her life with the aid of necromancy." I deadpanned.
"And we thank you greatly for that, Scythe, but here in equestria dark magic is the most illegal form of magic there is." Celestia said as her face was filled with mixed emotions.
"Wait really? You think Necromancy is dark magic? LIES!" I roared.
Celestia and Luna seemed to recoil greatly at my sudden outburst, goddamn uninformed flying unicorns thinks that necromancy is dark magic, it's just about as dark as a white paper in the sun.
"Necromancy is the power to channel negative emotions, the power itself isn't 'Dark' or 'Evil', it's the user who is." I said with a serious tone. "Also, it's very easy to go corrupt with this magic but that pony" Points at luna. "Have already used it once, I can feel it in her magic." I said as I let Luna's jaw drop.

"Heh, I wish I still had a jaw so it could drop like that" I chuckled out as I pointed at Luna.
"Still had a jaw..? Whatever do you mean, Scythe?" Celestia asked as she looked straight onto my face (Which was nothing but a shadow covered in the hood.)
"Oh right, we were talking about the Forsaken, was we not we? Yes, just let me get my hood off and we'll talk about it from there, however! You must not look me in the eyes, well if I had any, you must not look me in my eye sockets, unless you're feeling confident that you can handle an endless supply of negative emotions." Luna and Celestia exclaimed worried looks, then they looked back at me and nodded.

"Great! Now, I would like to ask you to look at the ground whilst I remove the hood, just in case." I said, again Celestia and Luna looked at each other, nodded and looked at the ground, displeased asLuna seemed to be.
I took my hand up to my hood and slowly took it of, dam the sun rays burn like a BITCH.
"You may look now." Was all I managed to say until a small dragon came rushing behind me, obviously with the intention to harm me, he stabbed me in the back with a dagger, right where my heart should be.

"Hey mate, that was a nice ambush, if you want I could train you to become a rogue, a thing about forsaken however: We aren't alive to begin with, I don't even have a heart! So I doubt stabbing me there would be very effective." I said as I pulled the dagger out of my back and dropped it onto the floor where it stuck.
Luna, who had finally raised her head high enough to see me, she was greatly recoiled at my face and the fact that I had shrugged of a stab in the heart like a bug bite.
Celestia however looked very confused.
It's only a question of time before she asks it...
'I bet she's going to ask how i'm alive.'
'I'm in! I bet you twenty brain cells she isn't.'
'Betcha fifty she is.'
'Even it with a hundred on a third option.'
"My, what terrible creature could've done this to you?" She asked and looked at me with a sad look in her eyes.
'DAMMIT CELESTIA! SHOULD'VE ASKED ME HOW I WAS ALIVE!'
'Yeah, that stinks.'
'Whine later, give me dem cells!'
"Not a terrible creature, Lady Sylvanas ressurected me."

"Sylvanas..? Who's that? I know of all nobles in our world, but i've never heard that name."
Well, that's the complete confimation that I aren't in Azeroth no more.
I began to giggle (Don't ask me how I giggle without a jaw.) before I said "Sylvana is one of the Horde leaders, She actually used to be alive untill The Lich King killed her, or well 'King Arthas' if we're gonna go by his allience title." Celestia looked shocked when I said 'Lich King'.

"Lich King? There are bearly any Liches in equestria, maybe two at max, none the less there isn't a king of them."
"I wish I could understand, but I guess I won't. Celestia was it? Remember this: Never get me surprised.
Never, very bad things happen, and with that I mean I fry behemoths and demons like they were some bug."
Celestia looked at me with a bit of worry in her eyes, not to mention a frown.
Luna looked a bit confused but decided to nod.
And I decided it was a good time to wake up the purple one and head outside.

Pranks is good in all fun.

I woke the purple one up with a rather rude gesture.
And with 'rude gesture' I mean that I stumbled, landed in front of her, mistakely I cast a spell...
That spell namely being Psychic scream.
It was enough to freeze Luna but the purple one shot up as if I had just used Smite and went bolting all around the library for eight seconds before calming down, please note I had all my gear on.

"Princess! We must run! Now!"The purple one said looking at Celestia for some kind of confirmation, she didn't get anything but a confused look.

"Uhm, I would like to apologize for that, when I get startled I have a bad tendency to cast spells, this time I happen' to cast Psychic Scream and it apparently sent you bolting like I had cast Shadow Word or Smite."

"Shadow Word? Smite? What are those?" the purple one asked, seemingly looking on me as if I were missing something.
"Well, Shadow Word: Pain i-" I was rudely interrupted by a pink pony forcing her way out of my ribcage.
It was terrifying, so let me give you a first hand demonstration on what happens whenever you surprise a necromancer.
The pink pony forced her face into mine.
Literary.

"Hi! I'm Pink-"

The pink one never got further before my panic started kicking in, making me cast Living Bomb in pure shock.
Not my finest moment.
Did I mention I screamed like a little girl?
Instead of her screaming out like I had just started a fire inside her heart, she just giggled and-
What?
I cast Living Bomb on the pink one, who laughed and stepped out of the fire, which was inside her.
It left a pony shaped fire right in front of me.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Umm..."
"How?"
"Pink one, how did you do that? Living Bomb ignites an explosive fire insisde of you, it takes fifteen or so seconds before it explodes outwards, no one have ever just... Done that."
The purple one that had awoken shook her head and gave a short answer "It's Pinkie being Pinke Pie..." Her voice trailed of as she began to think about the spell, eyes big as saucers, I could quite literary hear her thought process increase by a tenfold.
"Ohmygosh!Whatwasthatspell?ItlookedlikeafirespellbutIknowallofthefirespellsinthatareaandthatisn'toneofthe-"
"SILENCE!" My voice boomed around the room and seemed to shatter windows.
Celestia and Luna's face were nothing but that of shock and surprise as they stared at me, the purple one seemed to try and force words out but with little success.
And the pink one was giggling - Just what world am I in?
After a second Celestia blinked and was about to say something, but Luna was up in my face, looking angry.
It was... Frightening.

And then her voice boomed in my face
"WHO TAUGHT YOU THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE?! ANSWER, CREATURE!" Geez, I'm glad i'm wearing my armor, else that voice would've forced flesh of my bone.

"Sleep." Was all I said as Luna dropped to the floor, snoozing loudly, she was adorable.
"Well... Celestia, i'dd like to talk to you in private."
Celestia still stood there without blinking.

"Umm Celestia, can you please come with me upstairs so I can talk to you in private?"
No reaction.
"Okey, the hard way it is then. *Cracks*" I cracked my knuckled and pulled out a whip, if there's one thing I learned with taming dead horses it's that they HATED to get whipped.

"*SLAP*" Celestia finally snapped to attention at the whip hit her flank and began to charge around the room.
After about fifteen seconds she calmed down and looked around the room, I had put my whip in my bag, Luna was at the floor sleeping whilst her student stood frozen as if she was using some invisible type of Ice Block.
Wait, where had the pink one gone? She was here when I whipped Celestia but after that she was gone, huh, well I guess i'll find out soon and hopefully it won't be by a torch.

"What... Have you done to my little sister?!" She yells at me whilst looking at the sleeping Luna.
"I put her to sleep, easy as that." Now, apparently Celestia knew the expression 'Putting a wounded horse to sleep' so warning, this isn't pretty.

She charged at me, thankfully she was at the other side of the library and took about three seconds to get to me, I neatly avoided her and gave her a slap on the flank, why you ask? I'll tire her out, wouldn't like to deal actual damage do her.
She charged at me once again but this time when she impaled me on her horn.
No, I didn't fail to dodge, I didn't want to dodge.

Her eyes widened in surprise as she pulled back, letting me slide of her horn, and let me warn you - She's a demon on tapping my mana reserves, thankfully the magical particles in this world recharges almost half of it within a minute.
She stares at me.
Mana exhaustion sucks, it makes me unable to move so I just lay there on the floor, not breathing not having any heartbeat, now let's scare her, shall we?

I move my left hand behind my back and cut myself on a hidden knife, drawing a pentagram and allowing my soul to temporarly leave the body, when it does this everyone can see it and anyone that's asleep will instantly wake up.
As the blood dripped on the floor, it was making a small sound of which Celestia noticed, she moved closer to me when the Pentagram was finished.
*Smiles*

I smiled, even if she couldn't see it she could obviously feel it since she shuddered and tried to back away, Luna was wide awake and went face-first into Celestia's rump, which only seemed to startle her and jump forward, in front of me.
'Here comes the fun' I thought and allowed my soul to leave the body.

"FOOLISH ONE! HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!" I ask, with the most powerful voice I can muster I point at my body.
"I-i w bu p-plea..." She trails of and her stand strong expression falters.

"YOU HAVE JUST KILLED ME, WHITE ONE, YOU SEPARATED MY SOUL FROM MY BODY, I AM A FORSAKEN AMBASSADOR! IF WE WERE ON AZEROTH ALL THE EQUINE CREATURES WOULD END UP DEAD!"
Then I thought about a thing... A simple portal brought me here.

"NO, NOT EVEN HERE ARE YOU SAFE! WHITE ONE, BEHIND ME BEFORE I DIED IS A BLOOD CIRCLE, THIS CIRCLE IS BINDING MY SOUL TO THIS REALM UNTIL SOMEONE EITHER RESURRECTS ME OR REMOVES THE CIRCLE, I WAS BROUGHT HERE DUE TO A PORTAL MALFUNCTION, KNOWING HOW IT WENT AND I WAS SENT INTO SOMETHING SIMILAR OF THE TRISFIAL GLADES AND THE MAGE VANISH BEFORE THAT, WE CAN SEND TROOPS HERE! I'M GONNA GIVE YOU TWO CHOICES, LET ME DIE AND BE AT WAR WITH THE HORDE, THAT BEING GARROSH HELLSCREAM LEADING THE ORCS, HE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO ALONE KILL YOU WHITE ONE! SECONDLY IS TO POUR MAGIC INTO THE CIRCLE BEHIND ME AND ALLOW ME TO LIVE AGAIN!"

Celestia begins to walk towards the circle behind me until her sister grabs her in magic and lifts her away.
"Sister! That's necromancy! You can't allow yourself to do this!" She pleads.
"It's my fault he died Luna! I lost my temper and killed him! What should I do? Set an example that killing out of anger is okay for equestria?" Celestia looks at her sister with a sad expression, makes me feel kinda bad I did this, but she also needs to be put in her place, knocked down a few pegs y'a know?

"No! But... Necromancy isn't okey either sister! It's taboo for a reason, and more so illegal! You can't set an example that Necromancy is okey, can you?" She looks at Celestia.
"...Sure I can."

GET READY TO WAAAGEEER! (Oh yeah, this is not gonna be pretty.)

Perspecitve: The Mage.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE FIGURED YOU OUT?!" Garrosh screams in my face while we sit in his private chambers, he runs his fist into the table and snap it in half.
A guard came running in but stopped as he saw the table, the guard sighed and went away for a minute before coming back with a new one.
"Thank you, dismissed."

"He didn't 'Figure it out' as you say Garrosh, he had thought it was false but used it anyway, he ended up in some other world. We will not be seeing him any time soon." I say as I tap my fingers on the table, Garrosh lets out a satisfied grunt as he looked around the room and stopped at me.

"Very well, now, two hundred gold for your efforts was it?" Garrosh asks in a more controlled voice as he drops a coin purse on the table.
"Yes yes, two hundred gold for sending him away." I say as I begin to take the sack, but get stopped when Garrosh rams a knife into the table next to it.

"If I find out he's somehow in the outlands or azeroth, it'll be YOUR head on stake, Mage." Garrosh says as he makes a gesture with his thumb.

"Yes I know that, but I can guarantee that he was sent into a random world but in the most dangerous area there is." I crack my fingers as I take the knife Garrosh rammed into the new table.
I play with the knife for a minute or two as Garrosh thinks.
"I have another job for you"

I snap up and look at his face, he's smiling, and that's never a good sign.
"Let's hear it then."
"I want you to go wherever you sent him and make sure that he's dead." Garrosh says as he taps the table and looks at me.
"And the payment?" I say as I snatch the coin purse on the table.
"Five hundred gold." he says as he drops a bigger coin purse on the table.

"Very well then, the portal will be up in a hour and i'll be back before the end of the month."
"Mage, this is important! I want war with the allience and he's the one that can stop that, if he's still alive the spiritual connection he has with the Allience's leaders will still be there and they will know he's alive."
"Very well, i'll kill him as soon as I see him."
"That's good, now go!" He shouts at me as I calmly stand up and leave.
'Fire hundred gold... This is too easy.'

Perspective: Luna.

"Sister! You can't do this! You have no experience in such matters and it could cost your soul!" I shout at Celestia as she comprehends what I just told her, she stares out in space for a few seconds before shaking her head clear of thoughts.
"Luna, it won't be that easy to rip my soul from my body, don't worry." She tells me and starts channeling magic into the blood symbols on the floor, the symbol seems to glow in different colors until they all stop at silver, they become long chains that grab Scythe's spirit and pulls it back into the body on the floor.

Scythe starts twitching before jolting up, as he hits the floor a small 'poof' is heard and a smoke cloud appears around him.

Perspective: Scythe.

I felt myself getting dragged into my body again as the magic pumps into the, oh I loved this trick, and this was the best part.
As a big chunk of magic hits me like lightning I bolt upwards and cast a rogue spell I took some time to learn called Smoke Bomb and covered myself in smoke, I quickly stripped of all my clothes and put on different ones.
As the smoke departed I stood up as tall as I could with a fancy cane in my right hand, a black top hat with a white string in it, a mustache and smoking, my legs were covered with pitch black pants and I had white gloves on my hands, I shift the cane to my left hand and bow before Celestia and reach my hand out.

"Thank you white one, most appreciated."
She looks at me like i'm insane, which as of now I would not deny.
"Umm... No problem, Scythe.."

I send another Smoke Bomb down on the floor and shift to my real gear.
I sigh in exhaustion as I sit onto the floor and crack my fingers, letting out loud 'pops' which the horses... Ponies? I'll ask them later, seemed to wince at.

"So..." Luna started but was interrupted.
"Well, I do have one question actually." I said standing up.
"And what would that be, Scythe?" Celestia answered, raising an eyebrow.
"Are you a horse?" ... There was a silence for about two full minutes before Luna started laughing so hard she collapsed onto the floor.
"W-well 'laughs' sister it would 'snort' seem that you really..." She tried to stop laughing only to fail and laugh even louder.
"need to cut down the cloud cakes!" She blurted out before laughing maniacally again, leaving Celestia pink from underneath her coat.
Quickly gathering herself, well not very quickly but quick enough, Luna stood up and poked Celestia in the side, which seemed to calm her down.

"No, Scythe, I am not a horse, I am a pony, or to be more specific, I am a alicorn."
Huh, so that's what the winged unicorns are called, good to know!
"Also, i'm a little drained, casting Smoke Bomb without being a rouge tends to eat both mana and health, not that i'm complaining." I shrugged and reached into my bags, waiting for a response.

"Well... I guess? What do you have in mind?" Well, the confusion of Celestia is actually kind of cute.
"I could just eat something my friend mage conjured up, but where's the fun in that?" I pulled out the biggest mug of ale I had and a steak to go with it.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Eat my friends, we've been here for almost two hours." I took my hood of and began eating the steak before noting how Celestia was looked disgusted and Luna was closer to a shade of grey than blue/black.
"Umm..." Celestia started, but I quickly realized that I was eating meat... In front of ponies.
Well, shucks.

"Right, ponies, sorry. Everything sapient in our world eat meat, I think at least." I packed the meat in my bags before pulling out a lot of fruit and such, before realizing that it was a bit stereotypical, and at that I pulled out the biggest cake I could find, yup, this was gonna get interesting.

"Well? Eat my new found friends, i'm sure we have a lot of talking to do." Celestia still didn't move, but Luna slowly made her way to the food.
"Hey Luna" I whispered in her ear as she came close enough, she flinched.
"Yes, Scythe?" She asked carefully, darned trusting problems.
"Twenty gold on that Celestia is gonna have an outburst soon."
Right, if you're reading this you're probably a pony or something else that uses Bits, to say it like this - A bit is not pure gold, it's half copper on the inside coated in gold, so it doesn't have nearly the same value, and on top of that in gold ways I was still very very very rich, that being twenty six thousand gold.

And no, it would not be a good idea to try and mug me.
She looked at me surprised, I pulled out a gold from my bags and let it hit the floor, Luna grinned and added ten bits - About as much as a single gold was worth.
"You're in."

Illidian Stormrage?!

Perspective: Celestia.
He... He just... He just ate... Meat? Flesh of an dead animal? Dear sun I think i'm going to lose my lunch.
Shaking myself out of the trance I was in, I now see Scythe whispering things into the ear of Luna in a language I don't understand, which is weird since I know all currently used languages in equestria.
He glanced at me, smiled and whispered more things into Luna's ear, this was fishy - I understood that from the second I saw him.
But it wasn't until he pulled out a coin of what seemed to be pure gold that the cog wheels in my head seemed to turn, there's that glance at me and that smile, how I know he was smiling I do not know, since I can't see his face it's more like a feeling in my gut.
He put the gold coin away and waited for a second, I saw Luna smirk from the side of her face before simply saying 'Deal.'
Scythe began standing up, it wasn't until now I realized he was a full head larger than me, and I was about two heads larger than most ponies.
He smirked at me and said "Have you ever danced with the devil in pale moonlight?" Now I do not know what the devil or who it is, but one thing's for sure - It's nothing pleasant, the tone of his voice and the rasp of the word devil said it all.
I began backing away lowering my head into a pouncing position before a thought came up into my head.
"No, but i've danced with chaos himself." That was sure to unsettle him, I thought.
I would come to curse myself for those words later.
Perspective: Scythe.
"No, but i've danced with chaos himself" Celestia said before doing her best of a predatory grin, which was very funny, Ponies are prey, not predators.
I smiled.
"Then dear Celestia, show me that dance." She blinked, once, twice, three times before shaking her head clear of thought.
She was silent, how were she gonna respond to that? It wasn't until Luna stood up she seemed to grasp reality.
"What do you mean, you danced with Chaos, Celestia?" Hm? There's a bit of venom in her voice- Oh, sibling rivalry, always a fun thing to observe, it's not so fun to be stuck in the middle however.
"Who's Chaos?" I asked, hoping to ease the locks of her mental prison.
"The Lord of Destruction, Spirit of Chaos and God of Madness, whatever you wanna call him, his name goes down to one single word: Discord." Luna said, the last word seemed to practically driped with venom, this didn't catch my attention at the time however, since apperently there's a creature in this world that needs to be slain.
"A... A Lord of Destruction?! Here? By Thrall's beard Illidian is still alive!" I Practically bolted out of the library into the colorful world, damn that's bright.
Anyways, there's a few things wrong here, if he was alive he would be high up, he never liked being down to the ground, afterall.
Secondly, if he was still alive the people- ponies whatever you wanna call them wouldn't be so calm on the streets, they haven't seen me yet, and it was best to keep it that was.
I cast Blazing Speed then Greater Invisibility and sprinted through the entire village, I reached the edge of a forest that seemed to remind me very much of the Trisfial Glades.
Deciding it would not be the greatest idea to go into this forest, I decided to mount up and fly into that castle that was on a mountain, if he were to be anywhere, it was there.

These guards are weak.

'Ten minutes later'
I landed outside the castle on the mountain, my Blue Proto Drake seemed rather pleased with being able to stretch his wings.
I dismounted and began walking towards the castle doors only to be surrounded by guards, Unicorns, Pegasi and normal ponies all surrounded me.

"HALT! In the name of Princess Celestia we order you to freeze, creature." ...
I want to punch that guard in the face so friggin' much it hurts, not because he tried to order me around but because of his voice, I don't know why I just want to replace it, it wasn't fitting at all.

I slowly turned around to see a unicorn slightly larger than the rest of the guard wearing golden armor with a star on.
I tilted my head, still keeping my eyes locked on him, there was something fishy going on here, these guards said they were Celestia's guards, but Celestia is down in the library.

"Do not move! As the captain of the royal guard I co-" I cut him of right there, a captain of the royal guard? He dosen't seem so tough, maybe I have to teach him a lesson.

"Captain of the Royal guard? Don't make me laugh unicorn, i've killed demi-gods, and i've come to finish what i've started." Probably not the best thing to said, but he visibly paled and his guards inched closer.

Now, most of you that read this will probably think that I am not good with a sword, you couldn't be farther from the truth, i've trained with a sword for years I just focus more on my spellcasting.
"You will not harm the princess'!" He yelled at me.

I don't like being yelled at.

I cast blazing speed, ran up to him and kicked him in the face.
He was sent tumbling backwards a good ten meters before hitting a wall, he spat out a tooth and some blood before glaring at me.
His horn lit up and his guards began to charge, I only sighed, I handle stronger than these on a regular basis.

Anyways, guards from all sides charged at me, normally I would dodge but I were to show them why to not try to kill what's already dead.
Spears, swords and axes impaled me, tearing into my armor and striking my bones, denting the blades.
I simply stood there, not moving.

The guards dropped the weapons that simply fell off of me and out of my gear, usually I would just go invisible and kick their asses, but not today.

I sighed, startling all the guards who probably thought I was dead.
"So, this is Celestia's royal guard? What a disappointment, and I didn't even come here to harm the princess', a great evil from my world, Illidian Stormrage, is alive and kicking here. I simply came to kill him and go on with my day." I shook my head before reaching down in my bags, pulling out two very big swords, but they were light.

I put the swords in each hand and began to take a combat position, I would not kill any of them but giving them a real ass kick is something they seem to need.

I dropped into combat position before activating my Goblin belt, increasing my speed a lot. I ran up to one guard and kicked his armor in, denting it and probably cracking one rib.

A unicorn started charging up a spell behind me, I simply activated Frozen Barrier and walked towards him, the spells hit me to no end but did little in the way of damage, when I reached him I picked him up from the ground and headbutted his chest, clearly denting his rib cage.
A squad of pegasi started flying up a tornado around me, I simply blinked out of there on a moments notice.

The pegasi, as they don't seem to have noticed me blinking, flew faster and faster, before I decided to toy with them.
I cast Inferno blast right into the tornado, making it very hot in there, the pegasi seemed to drop out of it like flies on a mage duel.

Normal ponies with weapons gathered all around me, and the remaining seven unicorns behind me, The unicorns charged up one big spell together as the normal ponies charged at me.
I grinned behind my mask and cast Greater Invisibility to simply vanish, I activated my goblin belt again and ran out of the line of fire, the normal ponies took the hit head on and all dropped, dead.

I meant for this to be a game, just something fun basically, not murder.
The unicorns were exhausted so they were easy to pick of, I kicked the first one in the gut, punched the second one next to it's horn sending a single crack in it, he screamed out a ear-piercing scream before collapsing.
Five unicorns left.

They had finally taken notice to what is happening around them, using their last remaining magical power they put up a shield around them.
I walked up to it, knocked twice and frowned.
It already had a crack.

Sighing I cast Ice Lance on it, sending it clean through and revealing me, the unicorns tried to cast one last spell but failed.
I punched three of them and threw the other two into the three now unconscious guards.
As I said, I don't want this to be a bloodshed, I hadn't killed anyone but I knew I would be blamed, so I had to act soon.
Running up to The Captain, who was stunned at how quick the guards got taken down, I cast Ice Block on him, giving me plenty of time to resurrect the dead normal guards.

I walked up to the ten now dead normal ponies, I drew a simple circle around them with their blood and made a pentagram with mine, I dropped arcane stones and prayed a few times before resurrecting them, they were all brought back but to weak to fight.
I simply said "Everybody gets one." And left.

Nothing serious.

I began singing some song I heard a DJ play a while back, I can't really remember what the name was but I remembered the lyrics... Kinda.
"Can't hide from the shadow in behind my eyes~" I sang as I walked through the castle, simply avoiding the guards, even if they were confused with hearing me singing as I walked past them using invisiblity potions or my spells, I began to feel... HIS presence nearby.
Illidian Stormrage, he's nearby, I can feel it in my very bones.
Perspective Celestia, Thirty seconds before arriving in Canterlot.
"Luna, He said that someone named... Illidian? That's what he said, right?" I asked my younger sister, she just nodded and faced forward, she wasn't used with this kind of behavior, but she would be forced to get used to it so she can appreciate the few ponies that still acts like she were just another pony around her, I treasure those moments.
Luna is about... Two hundred years younger than me, well, minus the thousand years on the moon I guess, so she wouldn't know about this, but I do.
And I do not know why i'm writing this down in Scythe's diary, it feels like this needed a bit of light shred upon.
Three thousand years ago Discord came to the world, but at that time he went by another name, a name that he only used once.
Illidian... Stormrage.
After discovering his abilities he seemed rather passive, more bored than anything, he created clouds made out of candy that rained chocolate and a lot of stuff, but we started calling him Discord nearly instantly, and for Scythe who's obviously from another world to react like this... Something isn't right, and he's currently not imprisoned in stone, this isn't gonna be pretty.
The sky carriage stopped on the ground outside the castle and I quickly snapped back to reality and stepped out only to see a thing I thought i'dd never see - The entire C Legion whipped out, unicorns with cracked horns, earth ponies with dented armor and pegasi with scorched feathers.
I looked around, Shining Armor is supposed to be in charge of the C-Legion today.
Looking around I noticed a big ice block a bit from the exhausted ponies, as I made my way towards it I gasped in horror - Shining Armor was stuck inside the ice, looking very surprised.
I began thinking 'Who could've done this?!' for a while before I saw a bloody circle on the ground made out of dried blood, the exact same type of circle Scythe had made when his spirit made me resurrect him.
What surprised me the most whoever was a note written in very old Equestrian, so old it was barely understood when I was young, the note read 'We Know.' Having a big inked... Hand? Was that what Scythe called it? Yes, hands, a big black hand under the page simply saying 'We Know.'
I glanced at it again in my confusion before noticing how the guards all were breathing, but only slightly.
I charged as much healing energy that I could muster and blasted it at all the ponies, they had cuddled up in a pile to keep body heat, only Shining Armor was left out.
The ponies bolted awake, practically flying for a second before falling back down and passing out like they had ran the entire Equestrian Fre'que.
That ice block, whatever it was that made up this entire prison of ice it was sturdy, well it obviously weren't normal ice because no mater what amount of fire magic I used it wouldn't even begin to melt.
Luna seemed to be taking this very well, simply glancing around the downed ponies and sighing.
Then, after what felt like an eternity, the ice began to crack.
Perspective Shining Armor.
That... That beast! That vile creature! That ferocious being! Just what was that? He could vanish and re-appear, he could move with speeds that rivaled the Wonderbolts but on ground and he only used his paws and feet to knock us out.
The ice around began to crack and I got my sense of feeling back, all the pain that had come from that battle and being trapped in ice hit me at once, I let out a ear-piercing scream before collapsing, panting heavily.
Perspective Scythe.
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Echoed through the castle halls, making an ear splitting scream come from where I downed the guards, I didn't want muggers or slave traders to get them so I jumped out the window landing in front of two very confused pegasi, before they could recover completely I put one in a hurricane and the other to sleep, mounting up on my drake I flew towards where I heard the sound.
About two minutes later I was back where I started, all guards were now wide awake and at full alert, including Celestia and Luna, never thought about it before but the guards are very small compared to them.
I decided to surprise them so I cast Comet Strike on myself, making me fall thirty times harder and take no fall damage.
I dismounted.

Leroy.

I was quite a bit up but I was free falling before an idea came to my head.
Grinning, I took a deep breath and shouted from the top of my lounges...

"LEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOY JEEEEEEEEEEEENKINNGGSSS!!"

'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM'

Oh sweet tartarus, do I love that? And no, 'Tartarus' in this world and mine are not the same place, it's actually quite cozy.
The blast wave threw Celestia and Luna into the air, and they were now buzzing in the air like two poisoned hornets, or just a gnome trying to fly on a dragon for the first time.
It's always amusing.

Luna and Celestia was still flying around in the sky confused, trying to find whatever caused such an eruption in the ground.
Idea!

I whistled as loud as I possibly could at them they both seemed to twinge and the sound but followed it before reaching me.
When Luna tried to walk behind Celestia, she stumbled and went head-first onto or into her flank, I do not know since I turned my head away at the time of a very loud gasp.

"Well, that escalated quickly." I simply say at the two very red cheeked equines.
Now you may ask 'But Scythe! Shouldn't they be mad at you' and the answer is...
They weren't red out of embarrassment...
...
...
Once I noticed steam rising from Celestia's ears I did what anyone would do in my situation.

I booked it out of there, making sure to activate my goblin belt but then again running fast won't do much when two pissed of gods are chasing you.

"SCYYYYYYYYYYTHEEEEEEE!" I hear Celestia scream behind me, closing the gap between us a lot faster then I would like it to.
What did I do you ask? Well I decided to be a Sylvana's-damned idiot and started chugging snowballs at her yelling
"TAKE A CHILLPILL CELLY!"
... I'm a idiot.
Suddenly I got a great idea of which may save my ass or make it eat grass.

I suddenly stopped simply standing still waiting for Celestia to come closer, of which she did very fast I mean hot damn! Those wings of her must've had a thousand years of training or something.

Anyways, I activated Mirror Image and Greater Invisibility at the same time, I ran as quickly as I could to Luna, who was having a hard time not laughing furiously.

I Blinked up to her, making sure she stopped without impaling me.
After about five seconds of shock she came to her senses and was about to shout to Celestia but got silenced instead.
I sat down and held her down.

"Luna, I got the BEST idea ever, just follow my lead." Now she was cautious about me but I don't think she expected me to pull out a mirror and take her form.
"Let's go trick your sister!" I said feeling a smile growing on my face Muzzle.

We approached Celestia, Luna still hadn't said anything but gave me a small nod.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Luna asked Celestia, who had a look of anger and confusion on her face.
Her anger completely vanished when she saw me, standing just next to Luna doing my best to copy her.

They talked about boring stuff of how I 'Poisoned' Celestia to make her see doubles and boring stuff like that, after about ten minutes I decided to do something that would make my list for 'Idiothic things i've done.'

I dropped my disguise and screamed for all I could...

"IT'S PARTY TIME!"

I groaned as my eyes opened, the first thing I saw was the floor made out of cobblestone and steel bars by the end of the room.

I'm in a prison it seems, well I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, damn shame I didn't smack her ass tho. I giggled to myself and sat down against the wall with my head still throbbing if you know what I mean. Once I my head hit the wall I could feel it like nothing else, enchantments.

They truly don't have any high class necromancers in this world, because if they did they'dd know this was most foolish.
I could feel the lingering touch of Tia's magic, well that could be said as my own magic too I guess since I leeched a ton of magic from Tia when I tricked her into stabbing me with her horn, she probably didn't notice I mean she is a goddess after all.
Standing up I cracked my back, I still wore my armor but for what I was going to do I would need to look threatening.

In a instant I removed my weapons, clothes trinkets and neckless and equipped heavy plate armor that should normally go on a Death Knight, In my hands I held a single burning mace, the legendary mace, feared across the world of power none had matched, Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros , my armor covered all of my body leaving out two glowing eyes as I moved towards the bars of this little prison cell, I grabbed the bars with my left hand and began to drain, filling my mana reserves up in the meantime.

Crack I kicked the bars sending it flying into the wall where it stuck, I carefully slid out of there and began walking down the corridor where I noticed another enchant, a illusion enchantment.
I smiled a devious smile as I easily countered the illusion magic with my own, it wasn't Tia's enchantment but just a weak hasty illusion added to make the hallway seem to last forever.

Countering the illusion to make it seem like I was still in my cell unconscious is a smart move but will only last so long, necromancers strongest point is actually in illusion magic so I know the limits very well, but Tia and Lu' are gods.
Slowly dragging my way down the path I avoided all attention by simply re-weaving illusions in front of the guards eye's, in their perspective it would look like a shadow moved over the wall, then they would blink and disregard it as their imagination playing tricks on them.

Not knowing where's what is a bit of a problem, from the look of the guards slightly sleepy eyes i'dd say it's approaching either night or day.
Let's hope for the first.
Sneaking my way around a bit, avoiding guards and having them tell 'A Ambassador' as the illusion told them, where the throne room was and when I finally found it, I had knocked out the guards in front of the doors and tried to open them, it didn't work.
Backing away from the door I ran towards it and slammed Sulfuras into it, the effect was instantaneous.

Firstly, when the mace got close it pretty much dented the door just from the heat of Sulfuras and when it hit the door, it got smashed into smithereens that went flying all around me, I had put a very powerful sound barrier around it so no guards but the one's in the throne room and... Ohh Garrosh take me damnit!

In I entered the room where not one, but FOUR Godess' was chatting, the guards was just staring at me wide-eyed, and before they could react I did a awesome and foolish thing.

I walked towards Tia' with Sulfuras still in hand, it whispered softly "Rune of the Fallen Crusader... She stared at me wide eyed as I struck the weapon into the ground, it was soulbound so even if they tried they wouldn't be able to move it until I was permanently dead.
Undead, bit hard to kill us.

I pulled out a seashell and tossed it onto the ground, a white pony started playing music, he had a tattoo on his ass, it's a gravestone with two arms and a headset.
Some weird yet familiar tune started to play.

I was five steps from Celestia, who's shock was finally starting to die down.
What happened next sure surprised them.
I said one word with each step so powerful that it cracked the marble floor.

"NEVER"
I took another large step towards her and rammed my foot down even harder into the floor.

"LOCK."

I opened my fist and strengthened my whole right arm as I approached slightly from her right.

"ME"

Another gigantic crack in the marble floor and i'm pretty sure the whole castle shook.

"IN A..."

I forced my foot down into the ground so hard it actually hurt.

"CAGE!"

I backhanded Celestia so hard that she literary lifted off the chair and flew into a wall, broke it and kept going for a few rooms.
I lifted my hand towards Sulfuras, and as if it had a life of it's own it lifted from the ground and flew into my grasp hilt first.
Armed with my weapon I slowly turned towards the three wide eyed god's and slammed my fist into the wooden table, sending a crack through it which split it in two.

I could feel their health in the air, Luna had a whooping one points two billion, the other of which I did not know her name (Unknown until further notice.) Had a mere five hundred million, Twilight Sparkle had six hundred million health, and then there was Celestia, she had a gigantic health pool of three point nine billion.

I lift Sulfuras into the air and said to them "DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"
They all very rapidly nodded, I could see the shock still etched onto their faces.
I heard the sound of hooves striking the marble floor of the castle and in walked what seemed like a battalion of guards, all in different ranks.

There seemed to be two types of them, one seemed slightly more nocturnal with cat like eyes and bat wings while the other was just plain white.
They all had health pools of one hundred and twenty seven thousand except one.
She had wings and her health pool was a full six point seven millions.
They stared wide eyed at the scene for a second before putting one and two together, reaching a conclusion she ordered her troops one simple thing.
"Attack."
The party was just getting started after all.

"Come at me, buttocks!" I shouted from the top of my lungs and the one's in gold armor charged, it truly brought a smile to my lips to see them charging me so blindly. I didn't move as the first guard slammed into my chestplate with sickening 'Crunch' Not from my armor of course, it hadn't suffered a scratch, but from the guards skull. I felt how his health instantly dropped to zero.

"Oh right, i'm wearing my death knight set! Stupid me, give me a sec guys!" I called out as the guards watched in mute horror.
The helmet went off first and fell into my backpack, followed by my pauldrons, chestplate, legs and boots, I picked up Ragnaros and put it back in my Backpack.

"Let's see... I can sense one eternal in this room... Hmmm..." I hummed around as the unicorns dragged the dead guard away from me almost as if I was going to raise him from the dead and turn him against t- Oh that's actually a great idea.
"SURPRISE NOCTURNALS!" I bellowed and sent a small, green ball towards the corpse.

To the guard's surprise and disgust the corpse started to rot, when it was little but some flesh hanging from the bones left it started to move, and stood up.

"Yeah you guy's have fun with that." I stated matter-of-factly as I started to change clothes... Hmmm... What do I want...
"Idea!" I shouted, drawing attention away from the corpse that was now fighting it's once-brothers, much to the guards dismay as a golden armored guard got his throat ripped out, nasty piece of business.

I started putting my Bonescythe armor on with a smile, it was transmoged to look like the Bloodfang set. This is gonna be so fun!

While I was pondering what weapons to use the ghoul seemed to have been killed, it brought a tear to my eye, it was such a good Ghoul.

Deciding to play with them a bit I equipped two swords, the Latros' Shifting Blades.

Dropping into stealth the guards looked around themselves confused, not being able to spot me.
Moving up behind a poor, unprepared guard that was looking at the corpses in disgust I drove my sword through his head and decapitated him with the other, leaving it a bloody mess on the floor. I vanished.

The guards now tensed a lot, one of their brothers in arm's had fallen and the enemy was not seen, they stood in a circle like formation with weapons at the ready, as if I wasn't going to be able to get behind them.

Shadow Step made quick work on a nocturnal guard in mail armor, the sword's easily piercing the lungs and ripping half the body apart.
And much to their ever lasting annoyance I jumped over their heads as they turned around to look at their now split fellow, landing behind them with a soundless thud.

Before they had a chance to react I ran my swords along three nocturnal and four golden armored guards, completely Annihilating them as their bodies pretty much dissolved into just bags of organs.
My weapon's activated, or more like it the enchantments on them. Moongoose.

Without a second thought I dove into the middle of the guards again, most of which weren't watching me, and spun around, hitting every guard but one who was quick enough to move away, being the only one last alive she considered her options carefully, she could not attack, she would most likely die. She could not ask for help, for her battalion were dead, she could not ask the princesses, because that would put them in danger.

Sensing that she was at a impass I let my weapons drop to the ground I sat down, as if giving up almost. I had a reason for this mind you, other than she being at a impass. I could sense the disturbance in the air, something bad was going to happen', and it'll most likely involve me. It always does.

As Celestia got back into the room, I was not disappointed.

Several guards came running into the throne room without even seeing the corpses and began babbling about some dogs or something, when they calmed down and I could actually understand what they were saying it sounded something like this
"Diamond dogs... Ponyville... Kidnapped... Killed... Foals... Help, now! Guard dead, we can.. not... hold them off for much longer" one of the guards stated before collapsing.

"Well, that's not very good, oh and i'm sorry for slaying your guard, they attacked first mind you."
Celestia watched the scene with a expression that can only be described as 'I'm too old for this shit.'
"Don't worry, i'll get your foals or whatever back, I already knew you were going to ask."

And with that, I jumped out the window, leaving a baffled crowd behind me, landed on the ground with a thud and mounted up on my Blue Proto-drake, flying him down to... Where's Ponyville? Uhh... Well i'm quite a bit from that castle, i'll just ask the citizens at that little town I first arrived in.

Avenging Angel

Ever walked into a town and found it completely burned down? Ever opened a door and found another civilian life you couldn't save? Ever been attacked on sight by the few guards that were left while you were trying to resurrect some poor fool that thought they could fight superior forces?

I have done all of those, except the guards had helped me last time this happened, now they're attacking me as if this were my fault, and judging from the energies this is a shaman's fault, not mine, which brings me to the present.

"Open the bucking door!" A guard shouted from the other side off the thick wooden door, the cracks were growing bigger for every passing second as I frantically drew a circle on the floor with the blood of a poor mare I found dead as I got in, she were dead when I found her, but I managed to resurrect her after enough of my own mana spent, she had still lost a lot of blood and were recovering so I began to draw a summoning circle with her blood.

With a final touch I dropped some Soul dust onto the circle, making it glow sickly green as a hooded being with two very sinister looking blades began to claw his way up through the portal, a extreme heat filling the room as it did so.
"Why have thee summoned us, Necromancer?" it asked, the sound was more of a sensation than a voice.
"You already know, Ali'okarr." I shot back, he was always a displeasure talking to, or he just had a terrible memory.
I don't know really.

He snorted in response but didn't comment.
"Ever since Oro'thor you've been so cranky, old friend. Did that dragon really mean so much to you?" He asked me, i'm also pretty sure he had a crush on Oro'thor, no I do not know how that works. Yes I know Oro'thor's a dragon. such things mean little when you yourself is without a physical form.

I sighed and sat down, pulling the glove on my left hand off.
"I can count the number of friends i've ever had on this hand, Ali'okarr." I said, showing him the three rotten fingers followed by a stump and a thumb.
He frowned.

"I've apologized for that as much as I possibly could, Necromancer."
I waved my gloved hand at him.
"No need, after all, you make up one of those friends," I let my thumb fold, so I was just holding my three fingers up.
"Leeroy..." It sounded more like a threat than what it should have.

"Sorry, Leeroy's long dead, you should know this. Whilst I miss him for as much as I can with my rotten heart, I fear he's accepted his fate with the Light." I folded another finger, leaving my ring and pinkie finger up.
"Oro'thor." I let it hang in the air, he knew full well what that meant.
One finger left.

"Heh, you won't believe this." He had already taken a defensive position against the door, ready to murder anything successfully breaking through it.
"Luna." I said.

The swords almost slid out of his hands and he lost his balance for a second, wobbling.
"What." His tone was flat, that's a good sign at least.

"I know you felt her presence the same second you entered this realm, after all I don't imagine that many Deity's of the Night exist in this realm alone." I put the glove over my hand.

"But i'm going to have to ask you a favor, Alirr." He frowned at the nickname but didn't lash out on me, finally we're making progress!
Oh, and don't think we were discussing this stuff in front of the poor girl, she fell asleep before the ritual was complete. Her name ended with Ash or Dash, can't remember.

"I suppose I owe you as much since you - quite literally - pulled me out of hell." His face were a mix of confusion, gratefulness and a slight hint of horror, very slight however.

"How did you even got those angel wings in the first place? And why didn't you melt instantly down there anyways?" I understand why he was confused by that, it was a strange mix of being very very drunk, successfully arm wrestling a angel and some dwarf challenging me to a drinking contest.

I don't remember much of that week.
"You see, I had a dream, I was a tree in the dream, a big beautiful blossoms worth, but there was no other tree's around, I was a very lonely tree. It was a sad dream." I said with a grin, he looked very confused by that, so confused he didn't notice when I pulled out a mini crossbow and threw it at him, it hit him in the face, inflicting no injure but he let out a rather audible gasp.

"Suit up, we're leaving once that door cracks, clean up the ritual and make sure the girl-" I gestured towards her with my thumb "-is okay."
"Right..." I think his mind was still in shock, I just shrugged and continued to remove my gear.
"Also, that favor..." I let it hang in the air to make sure I got his attention, and it sure did as he turned to face me.
"Yes, Necromancer?" He rarely says my name.

"Easy, turn me." I said with a large smile plastered on my face, I know that dosen't make sense but for other's it's more of a feeling.
He looked quite shocked at that indeed.

"But if I were to turn you, you might not be able to return." He's right, I know. But if I want to do this I can't be like I am now, and nor can I shift between classes like i've been.
I must turn.

"I know the risks, Alirr, just... It's my first time." I frowned slightly, and I didn't realize how nasty that sounded until I actually said it.
He did however, and grinned.

"Yes, turn around, i'll be gentle." He pulled out a staff with various symbols on it, ranking from witchery to arcane theory.
I turned around and slipped on some blood, impaling my gut on the staff's head, which wasn't that nice since it was formed like a snake slithering around a eagle.
"Okay, I just walked into that one." I grinned.
...
...
...
"So, I heard you liked scythes, so I put a scythe in your Scythe-" I began, but I received a rather hard smack to my head and shut up.
"You know, that's a very sturdy door." He observed, indeed it was, we've been here for almost five minutes and it's yet to be broken.
"Anyways, let's get this show on the road." I said, not wanting to prolong my suffering longer than I had to.

"Right, stand over there." He pointed to a corner of the room.
"Gonna do it like that eh? Fine, we'll do it your way."
"Like always" he grinned.
He literally scorched symbols into me and the room, muttering things in Demonic, I could translate it but the less equines that knows about it the better.

I'll try my best to draw them, i'm not the best drawer however, painter. Whatever.
On second thought, i'll just write them on a separate page.

The pages with the drawings can be found in the back of the diary and a few other places, such as in my left drawer. I'll even put one in my chest pocket
He finished the chants and a blinding, gray light filled the room.

I felt my very skin melt off of my bones and reform, heck I felt my bones break and twist before straightening themselves out, blood was added in flesh, organs followed, and then muscles.
I now stood... Fleshier is the right word I guess, I was the same height but my back was straight and I had to breath (A very hard habit to get back into.)

So, long story short, and for most... Ponies reading this this won't mean much, but I looked human.
By the titans that's a sentence I never thought i'dd write, think or say ever again.

The doors busted open, revealing the form of a butter yellow pegasus with pink hair, she had some minor injuries such as a few gashes on her body and a slightly purple spot on her wing.

Behind her followed a white unicorn wearing something he recognized as crystallized armor and two amber swords.
Since we were in a very dark corner of the room, they didn't notice us.

"Where did the guards go?" Alirr whispered.
"I've no idea, but be quiet." I told him, laying my now fleshy hand on his shoulder.

"Oh Rainbow Dash" Huh, so that's her name. "Thank goodness you're alright, when we couldn't find you at the evacuation zone we feared the worst." The voice of the butterscotch one was neigh above a whisper, but being used to not hearing at all that's not much of a issue.

I pulled out my necromancy armor from my Backpack of Holding and strapped it on, it was a mix of dark leather, followed by white cloth around my shoulders, covered by mail armor, reaching down to my hands that were also covered in a pair of black leather gloves.
I walked up behind them as quietly as I could, wearing a light armor with muffle enchantments just made it easier.
"Ladies." I said, standing at my tallest height.

"Miss Dash here would not have survived without my interference, but that's hardly the point." I turned around and looked outside the door, the flames casting a shadow behind me.

"For all those who've died today, for those whom lost family and friends, they will not go unavenged." I felt a sad smile on my face.
"We're their avengers, their angels." I felt a tear make it's way down my face, I thought back about the time before I died, of how my family and friends screamed and cried as fire ate away at their bones.

"We're their Avenging Angels, and if there's a god out there that listens, may you have mercy on my enemies." I pulled a rather large staff from my backpack.
"Because I will not."
I took a step forward, and much to my surprise the white one followed me.
I smiled.

Dragons, Diamond Dogs, Death Desctruction and Decay. Urgh...

Rarity took the lead as I followed behind her, she seemed to be leading me to some sort of boutique.
"Excuse me, but what is that outfit made out of? I must say I haven't quite seen anything like it." And that's the question I dreaded would come up.
It was leather, the majority of my outfit was made of leather, how would I go and explain this to her?
Easy, I don't.
"Onyx Scales" I responded, not technically a lie, scales aren't skin.
Much.
I think so anyway... Hey don't judge me! I'm a engineer and a tailor, I don't know the difference of scales and skin... Much.
"Scales? That dosen't seem like scales, it seems... Softer" She answered with rising suspicion.
Uh oh...
I need a distraction.

Illusion time.
I made something that looked like a diamond dog appear, it was taken from Rarity's description.
And from her gasp, i'dd guess I was doing something right, if you know what I mean.
I snapped my fingers and it burst into flame, the smell of burnt fur, molten armor and boiled blood filled the air.
Many who've been reading this journal will question how i'dd use a Mage spell after turning into a human, well the answer is quite simple, that wasn't a spell at all.

It was a illusion, and so was the flames.
Rarity turned to me with big eyes
"I know Twilight said you were powerful but that..." She let it hang in the air.
I simply nodded and entered the boutique that we had finally reached, what waited on the inside made my grin risk splitting my face in half.
Fabrics, crystals, minerals, metals of all kinds.
She obviously saw my smile as she herself beamed.
"This is quite a collection you have here Rarity, may I ask if I could borrow some cloth?" I asked with the same face splitting smile.
"Cloth? I guess... But what would you need that for?" I just smiled.

*Fifteen minutes later*

"Why darling I never took you for a tailor." Rarity said as she adored her new cloak, I would have made armor to boost her intellect or stamina, but with what I had, that being unfamiliar material and no blueprints for her body build, but the cloak had metal plating in it, so at least it isn't useless.

"It's my profession, Rarity, i'm a engineer and tailor, you know what they say, right? there ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees. I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed and ain't nothing in this world for free. " I have no idea where I heard that... Something starting on Border...
Oh well.

"Engineering?" She asked, I guess a fashionista such as Rarity wouldn't actually be interested in that.
"Yes, I make items that move using parts I collect around the world, but there is a question that's been bugging me for quite a while now." There truly was, how was she so calm? I remember back when I first faced my large scale raid, I was so freaked out and just sliced anything that got close with my gigantic battleaxe, a tactic that worked surprisingly well.
"Rarity, how are you so calm? Not even I was this calm when the first raid I ever faced occurred." It was mind boggling, to be honest, even Celestia and Luna seemed like they hadn't seen combat in a while.

That got a nervous chuckle out of her, and that's usually not a good thing, it means they're hiding something.
"Well darling... You see... When I was a filly my father forced me to undertake military training fit for The Naga's, a mercenary band that had joined the Royal Army after a fight with some dragons drew the Princess' eye's upon them, so they joined under her watch rather then risking imprisonment, silly if you ask me, they would never do such things!" She stated, going back to her dramatic self for a second before regaining her composure.

"But that's how I remain so calm, after dealing with Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, countless changelings, diamond dogs and angry griffins i've learned that panic only makes things worse." Giddy, she had some experience then, that makes the whole thing a lot easier.
"Very well then, Rarity, let's make our departure however as it seems that we got a dog to put down." It hurt my heart to make that pun, but I just couldn't pass it up.
And thus, we left the shop and headed toward the forest.


One hour later.


"Well, this was unexpected" Namely that is, of course, that there was a army with cat like things blocking our path, and a large Dragoness standing over them shouting orders in a language I couldn't for the life of me make sense off, it sounded something like this. ' Geri zhuled dien vier zien.', scanning myself for spells noticed that the arcane brilliance was still on, along with the language understanding buff.
I looked at her again and noticed that she was staring at me.
Her mouth moved and I heard a sound in a low tone, before something blasted inside my skull.
"Human!?" Need less to say it hurt, it hurt so bad I went down on one knee and practically spit out my insides, it felt like my blood was boiling.

"Al'ikir, is this some cruel joke?! The same voice boomed again, although ever so slightly lower.
I personally have a feeling that she's got something against humans, perhaps she was forsaken, like me?
I managed with a ragged breath force out a few words "Aye'... Human..." I felt like passing out, but it's never helped me before, i've faced gods and demons alike, and i'll be damned if some dragoness makes me pass out.
Her expression of rage quickly melted into one of confusion and concern, she growled, pointed at me and a tent with a skull on it and jerked her thumb back.

Seemingly the thingies understood that and scattered off, several went towards me and picked me up and with a grunt of approval by the dragoness they carried me to the tent with the crossed skulls, a smaller cat like thingy came in with me, a worried expression on his face.
I opened my mouth to speak, but he only put a clawed finger over my it.
"Shh, stay quiet now, you of dark arts, we needn't her wrath upon us." He smiled gently, reminded me of my teacher almost, oh Miss Velvet, where are you now? I smiled sadly at him and felt myself slipping into the comfortable darkness that was sleep...
