> Bon Bon The Hero Of Falmra > by Phony15 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A new world?... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon Bon woke up with a large smile on her face. She had a feeling it was going to be a great day, she ran out of her room and rushed to the kitchen smiling she got to work cooking breakfast for her and Lyra but as she was cooking she felt weird, her body started to glow white and soon she fell on the ground unable to move or even scream, she could only lay there hoping Lyra would find her and help but what she didnt know was Lyra was asleep, she was able to see her hoof and she noticed it was fading and her vision was turning black... She thought she was dieing... Well there goes her perfect day... Soon she was passed out... She slowly awoken her head throbbing in pain, her hands felt like they where on dirt. Wait hands? Yup... Shes a human... Anyway as she got up she was on her hands and knees but it didnt feel right, she looked around her body and she wasnt a pony! She was one of those humans Lyra talked about, ya it did take her that long to notice... Moving on! She tried to stand on her feet like Lyra said they walked but then she fell face first, still on the ground she decided to just look around, She seemed to be in a forest with houses made inside the trees, it was a odd place and it seemed to be night which was odd because it was morning when she passed out and she was in her home, she tried to get up again but she fell again and soon many crackly dry female laughs was heard from the shadows, Bon Bon was worried but she made her face as brave as possible and she yelled "Show your selves!" her voice cracked with fear as she yelled but it may of worked after all about 5 women dressed in black cloaks, they all seemed very old and ugly. They almost seemed like witches from foal tales, but Bon Bon told her self that could not be possible. "So you are the hero called upon?" the oldest one said "Odd looking hero. I wonder where she came from..." one in a blueish black robe mumbled to her self "What is your name young hero?" The oldest one questioned Bon Bon was scared and confused, hero? Called upon? What where these freaks talking about she thought to her self, her mind was spinning with question but she put on her brave face again and replied "I am Bon Bon of Equestria... But i think you mares should be explaining more your self! Where am i and why are you calling me a hero?" The ladies laughed for a bit, one in a more red cloak said "Mare? Equestria? Haha! The hero is from the pony world!" The eldest one raised a hand and they stopped, it seems she was the leader. She spoke once again "Well you are in Falmra, this world has... Weird things about it, you see darkness attacked the overland every few generations and so the gods speak to us 5 to do a spell to bring in a picked hero. And that would be you, we are witchs meant to give you armor, weapons, and a few magical gear to help you out. Once you defeat the darkness you can ether be sent home or stay here..." Bon Bon was not scared any more, not confused, just VERY angry and she didnt care to hide it "What!? Ok! So your weird gods pulled a candy maker to save your world!? I dont know how to fight! You are all insane! I will be killed faster then i can say 'screw you'!" The women looked at each other shocked at her outburst, the one in the more red cloak spoke up "Maybe we should send Bon Bon back. She doesn't seem right for this..." The Oldest one spoke up again "No! We can not make Aurza angry, she might damage this world and make it even harder to push off the darkness" The much more red one seemed to quite down again. "I dont care about this world! I want to go back to my world! I want to be with Lyra not off getting my self killed here!" Bon Bon roared out her feelings at them again The eldest witch spoke again for the rest of them "I am sorry you are angry but you should be proud that Godess Aurza chosen you to be the Hero. And just to test you we will give you your armor, weapon, and magical gear and send you off on a simple mission for you to do." Bon Bon sighed "Fine..." her words where spoken in a very grump tone, she got up and after about 5 tries she learned how to walk. "So whats this silly mission? Take a letter somewhere?" The eldest witched laughed "No, no... You are going to go kill a Dire Wolf" and Bon Bon was confused again, a dire wolf didn't sound like something she knew, the only wolves she knew where timber wolves and normal wolves. "Whats a dire wolf?" Bon Bon asked confused. The eldest sighed "Its a large wolf, almost as big as a human and just as deadly and smart. There fur is as black as night and there eyes are bright red breaking threw any shadows... Good luck!" and confusion was killed bringing in fear. "I cant kill a dire wolf! I am still only a candy maker!" Bon Bon was very worried. But the eldest didn't stop persisting, "Yes Bon Bon you can, the godess picked you for a reason. Just give it a chance... If you die then... Your dead, If you don't die then... Your a hero! So... Ya there's that." Bon Bon sighed, if she didn't even try to become the hero then there would be no hope of returning home, if she did should would probable die. But to Bon Bon life isn't worth living with out Lyra, so she took a deep breath "Give me my gear. i got a dire wolf to kill..." The eldest lead Bon Bon to tent with a set of armor made of steel plates that seemed heavy to her and a few sword and tons of weird glowing magical objects. "Here. This armor was made by Godess Aurza to fit you" The armor seemed like a normal set of steel plate though she did find it odd it looked her size, so she took it and put it on. It was alot lighter then she thought it would be. "This sword was passed down from the heros. Use it with skill..." Bon took the sword, it seemed normal though when she took it the sword turned blue and pink, it was glowing with power but not in a magic way, more in a spirit way as if it had the souls of past heros bound in it, it felt good in her hands and when she swung it it felt like she was swinging it with hidden skill. "I are only allowed 2 magical items, choice wisely" Bon looked at all the items. Many rings, many necklaces, and many other glowing accessorizes. But 2 seemed to show out more then others, a bone ring that has diamond incrusted in the bone, a necklace with 6 circle bones on the string with one tooth that looks as if it was from a dragon. Bon looked at the elder "So what is that bone ring and necklace do?" The elder laughed a bit "Aaah those... They havent been used in years... The ring lets you turn into elements such as wind, darkness, water and such. The necklace allowed you to summon things, each bone has a meaning, each one will summon one if you say 'Kalmatha' but you can only have one summon out. If you use the tooth you summon a dragon but it uses a lot of your power. If you use ALL of them you turn into a dragon, its very useful" Bon thought about the two magical objects for a bit "Sure i will take them" Bon was quite happy with the find and put them on, she felt like she could fought the dire wolf easily so she walked with the elder back to all the other witches "So where is this dire wolf?" Bon was almost... Happy to fight the wolf. "He is in the Holy Forest, he wants to destroy the forest to make him self stronger, i told you they where smart..." And so... The fight draws near... > Lyra: 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyra woke up yawning, and left her room rubbing her eyes, she didnt see Bon Bon around so she guessed she was in the kitchen making breakfast so she walked into there and she was some pancakes burning on the stove, she turned the stove off and looked around confused and worried, why would Bon just leave something burning?... She walked out of the house, she thought maybe Bon forgot about it and went to her candy store so she went there, when she walked in all the lights where out and that worried her more but then she thought maybe she rushed to the store and as she was walking there she was Derpy, Octavia, Roseluck, and Vinyl walking around, she ran up to them. "Oh hiya Lyra! Your up early!" Derpy said smiling. "I am? Aww... I could have slept more... Wait thats not important!" Lyras face clearly showed her wordiness, Lyra was never good at hiding her feelings like Bon was. Octavia seemed to notice the worry in her face "Whats wrong Lyra? You look like you seen a ghost" Lyra looked around, her mind was in shambles, when Bon left while she was asleep Bon would always leave a note but there was none. "I cant find Bon Bon, she didnt leave anything to tell me and there was some burning pancakes on the stove, have you guys seen her!?" "Nopey!" Derpy stated happly, oblivious to anything going on around her. "No i didnt see her" Roseluck said starting to get worried her self, after all Bon was there friend "Sorry darling i havent seen her..." Octavia said "Do you know Vinyl?" She was hoping Vinyl would know "No idea though..." Vinyl didnt see this as THAT big of a deal because Bon was probably out somewhere, after all ponies dont just go missing. "I have heard of this stallion running around kidnapping ponies to feed them to his timber wolfs!" Lyra was shocked and scared and it clearly showed Octavia slapped Vinyl in the back of the head "Dont say that stuff..." Lyra sighed "If you need me i will be at home. I am just going to wait for her there..." > Bon Bons first fight... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon Bon walked into the Holy Forest. The place as very pretty, the wood was light blue glowing and the leaves where pure white and glowing bright. The place was amazing but soon she heard the sound of trees falling, that must have been the dire wolf. After cutting threw many branches and leaves to get to the sound of trees falling the dire wolf was huge, they where right about them being as tall as her but she thought they where joking... Bon unsheathed her sword twirling the blade in her hand and walks up to the dire wolf with caution, the dire wolf's neck snapped looking over at Bon Bon leaping at her, Bon slashed at the dire wolf's chest, the dire wolf rolled on the ground quickly getting up and leaping at Bon again but this time leaping more towards the sword pawing the sword out of her hands, Bon gasped and thought for a moment. She saw the dire wolf coming closer and so she focused on her ring turning to a shadow avoiding the dire wolf's attack moving to her sword, when she turns back to normal she grabs the first ring on her necklaces mumbling the unbinding words and soon from the ring a phoenix appears from a burst of light attacking the dire wolf in a blaze of fire and claws, as the two fought Bon grabbed her sword out of the ground charging at the dire wolf slashing its leg, spinning around and stabbing the dire wolf's neck, the dire wolf roared and clawed at the phoenix more then at Bon, Bon pulled the sword out of her neck and then dived away from the claw. Bon ran and leaped on the back of the dire wolf as the phoenix distracted it stabbing it more in the spin, once she felt bone she stabbed it between two blades of its spine popping it out of place, as huge bleeding whole was cut in his back and soon the dire wolf fell on the ground unable to move but roar as the phoenix clawed its face up as blood flied everywhere. Bon forced on her ring turning into fire going into its body cooking its insides into nothing but cooked paste, but she runs out of magic and turns to normal in the bloody pastey body of the dire wolf, using her sword she cut out of its body covered in blood and meat. She looks down at her body "... Wow... I just killed a living thing... I did it with no thought... I can do this, I can be a hero!" Bon sheathed her sword and laughed a bit, wiping the blood off of her she cuts off the head of the dire wolf to show she killed and starts walking to the witch camp with her new summon pet Phoenix happily in a odd way. When she reached the camp she threw the head down at the feet of the eldest witch "So. Where do i go first to start fighting this darkness?" "Well..." > Lyra: 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its been 2 days seance Bon Bon left, Lyra has been getting worried, her friends would visit her a lot to make sure shes ok but every minute that Bon is away Lyra would feel worse, Lyra by now has started to break down and cry thinking Bon left her because she doesn't love Lyra anymore but that was VERY wrong, what Lyra didn't know was that Bon was still in a different world fighting to get back to Lyra. But seance Lyra has no way of knowing that she can only assume that Bon left her. Roseluck came over, she opened the door and saw Lyra crying at the dinner table while eating a very poor cooked meal. Roseluck walked over to her and touched her shoulder "Oh... Hey Rose..." Roseluck was worried about her friend "Whats wrong Lyra?..." Lyra cried harder "What if Bon doesn't love me anymore!?... Eating even reminds me of her... She always cooked the best food..." Rose sighed and sat down next to Lyra "Lyra, Bon would go threw hell and back for you. If shes gone something must have happend... Oh wait... I-i am sorry i am sure shes ok!" Lyra cried more now thinking that Bon might have died, that would hurt Lyra more then even Bon leaving her, she couldn't even bear to think about Bon dead. "Rose what if Bon was dead! Like a timber wolf or one of those old human mythology dire wolf things ripped her apart! I couldnt handle that..." And that made Rose facehoof. Rose got up "Look Lyra, i am sure shes fine... I am gonna go..." Lyra nodded sadly and Roseluck left Lyra to sit there in sadness hoping Lyra would understand... > The quest starts! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon Bon woke up with her back hurting, sleeping as a human was very painful to her, she walked into the 'dinning hall' of the witches town and saw the witches eating and so she walked over the the eldest sitting down "Oy! Where do i get some food, i am starving..." The witched laughed and got up walking over to what looked like a tree stump with stars and symbols cut into it, she mumbled some words that to Bon Bon sounded like gibberish, soon from the stump a metal plate filled with odd looking food and bread, the witch walked over to Bon and set the plate down in front of her "Uhm... What is this?... I only know what the bread is..." The witch sighed "Eat it first then i will tell you" Bon sighed and started eating, the food to her was amazing. She was eating fast and soon the food was all nothing but scraps the witched laughed once again "Well you seemed to like the steak!" Bon looked up confused. "Whats steak?" She asked wondering if i was some kind of magical plant. "Well steak is cooked cow meat young lady..." Aaaand right then Bon puked all over the table. "Oh god! Why! Gross! Ew ew ew ew ew!! No! Thats aweful! There intelligent animals..." The witch sighed "Not in this world... In this world the cows are nothing more then mindless animals bred to be food and get milk" Bon was shocked but that made her feel better about eating meat. After all it seems like its a huge part of this world and she wouldn't know if she could live with out eating meat in this world. "Well to begin your quest you should go to the ruins of Mertha and clear out the rest of the darkness creatures, its west of here. One thing you should know about the darkness is there human like creatures but when they are made they are made in a form most fit to the weapon they where made to use, so a archer darkness will look a lot different then a warrior darkness..." Bon nodded. After eating Bon and all the witches said there goodbyes and Bon headed to the west to start her quest. The quest to get back to her love... > Lyra: 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyra felt odd. She was feeling better almost like she knew Bon was doing something for her, it was nearly the same feeling she got anytime she saw Bon cooking dinner. She felt better and left her house taking a breath of fresh air happily then she saw many ponies gathering to one spot, and soon from that area she heard a voice boom "COME ONE! COME ALL! COME AND WITNESS THE AMAZING POWERS OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIIIIIIIIXIE!!! AGAIN!!!" Lyra was mad just by hearing the voice of Trixie again, Lyra ran up to the stage pushing her way to the front and Trixie did not miss that "Oh! Look everyone! I got a little fan here..." Trixie laughed a bit looking at Lyra. "Up yours you Twilight-wanna-be!" Trixie gasped at her comment. Lyra laughed "Oh! You pig! I know all about you..." Trixie smiled in a evil way. "You don't know me you freak!" Trixie sighed in a sarcastic way "Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Oh i know you... Your the insane human obsessed pony that lost her hussy a few days ago!" Trixie laughed. Lyra's eyes had a fire in them of the likes no one in this town seen before, Lyra grabbed Trixie with her magic throwing her to the ground off the stage "You can insult me all you want! But you do NOT insult Bon Bon! You heard me!? Never insult Bon Bon around me! I will kill you!" Lyra punched Trixie in the face a few times before Octavia and Roseluck where able to pull her off Trixie "If my friends weren't here Trixie you would be dead! If i EVER see you in this town again i will feed you your own jugular! Screw you and all your 'magic'!! " To everyone in the town Lyra was seeming to go insane slowly with Bon gone... > Bon Bons first town. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon Bon was riding on a horse, at first it was awkward to her but she got use to it. Anyway she was riding towards the ruins but her supplies where running out and she saw a town not that far out of the way so she road up and got off her horse tieing it up to a fence and walking into the town, the sword glowed as she walked threw the town making it impossible for her even pretend to not be the hero and so everyone watched her carefully, Bon didnt see any normal stores but she did see a bar so she entered. There where many ruff looking men in even ruffer armor staring at her and whispering to each other. She walked to the bar "Oy, give me a glass of ale and a steak." The bar tender laughed "We dont sell anything here to women. Bars are for men. Get out of here..." Bon smirked. "Oh come on... Wont you sell to the hero?..." The bar tender looked shocked and many people got up unsheathing there weapons. Bon instantly knew she said the wrong thing A assassin looking guy got up "Oh! A hero eh? This place is owned by the darkness. And the darkness has a pretty bounty on the hero!" Bon sighed and took out her sword and using the third circle on the left side she summoned a wolf. Two men attacked her using axes, Bon quickly turned into water letting there axes pass threw she, she turned normal and stabbed one in the chest pushing his limp body to the ground, the other one attacked in anger but the wolf was already on him ripping his neck apart with its claws. Many more men rushed to attack her but soon she saw a flash of light, and a man in white armor with gold trimming was standing in front of her with a sword and shield of the same theme, there was a symbol on his chest and back that look like a sun with a sword in the middle the assassin who was acting almost like a leader to the men laughed "A paladin! Get him first men! His head can be sent back to there land as a message!" the men attacked him. He blocked many attacks with his shield slashing people with his sword blood was everywhere. After that battle the bar was covered with blood, it looked as if a painter did a bad job painting the inside with red. The paladin turned to Bon looking annoyed "Look hero. You must be new in this world... Also pretty dumb... You cant just go around telling your the hero its a easy way to get killed..." Bon giggled nervously "Uhh... Thanks?..." Bon was kinda confused "So why did you help me?" The paladin sighed "Paladins jobs are to get rid of darkness or to help the hero get rid of it... But by the fact you are the hero i have little hope in this world..." Bon was now pissed "Look 'friend' i dont care about this world! I just want to go back to mine! Lyra is waiting..." Bon sighed sadly thinking about her dear Lyra The paladin sighed him self "Look, i am James... And you are?" Bon shook her head to get rid of her sadness "I am Bon Bon, but most call me Bon" The paladin nodded and waved her to leave. After a bit of arguing they choose to head out to the Paladin Kingdom to get there support on there war with the darkness... > Lyra: 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyra was back in her house thinking about Trixe. Her mind slowly wondered to what if Bon DID leave her... What if Bon didnt want to deal with Lyras antics anymore? Lyra quickly shook those thoughts from her mind and got up. She put on a random safari hat and yelled out to no one "I will find Bon Bon!... Wait where do i look? Ah forget it i will just call a search party from the royal guard... And so Lyra got up and went to find Derpy "Hey Derpy!" Lyra said waving to Derpy "Oh hiya Lyra! Need something?" Derpys eyes twisted around a bit "Well you know that flying chariot taxi job you have to get some more cash?" Derpy nodded "Well i was wondering if you could bring me to Canterlot. I am going to need to speak with the princess... Maybe i could get Twilight to help me" Derpy gasped "Oh mah Celestia! I would love to go to Canterlot! I will bring my chariot to Twilights house! I will met you there to take you two into that wonderful city!" Derpys eyes twisted some more as she flew away to her house... Backwards... Lyra headed to Twilights house feeling hope... Lyra knocked on Twilights door and the little dragon known as Spike opened the door "Uhh... Hey uhm... Lyra? Ya you are Lyra right?" Lyra nodded happly "Can i speak with Twilight? I need her help" Spiked sighed and waved her to enter, Twilight was organizing some books while mumbling a song that she think she knew but couldn't put her hoof on it... "ᵀᵒᶰ ᵒᶠ ᶠᵘᶰ⋅⋅⋅ ᴬ ᵇᵉᵃᵘᵗᶦᶠᵘᶫ ʰᵉᵃʳᵗ ᵐᵃᵈᵉ ᶠᵘᶫᶫ ᵃᶰᵈ ˢᵗʳᵒᶰᵍ⋅⋅⋅ -- Oh hey Lyra, I heard what you did to Trixie... I know shes rude but that was a little... Extreme..." Lyra sighed "Look i know but i need your help. Derpy will be here soon with a chariot to take us to Canterlot. I need you to make sure i can talk with the Princess..." Twilight thought about it for a bit before saying "I guess i can do that" Lyra smiled. She felt tons of hope... > I had to do this... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon and James where ridding to what James said was 'The Capital Of The Paladins' but he noticed something, a tower "Oh thats Yalmlot! It a outpost, we should go there" Elsewhere in the outpost of Yalmlot all the paladins where singing and dancing James looked over at Bon "On second thought lets not go there. Yalmlot is a silly place..." > Bon Bon's first darkness encounter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon and James where ridding towards the Paladin's capital headquarters. Bon could only think about Lyra as they went, but suddenly she heard James's horse fall and his sword unsheathe, she turned snapping out of her trance of sadness and was horrified seeing these creatures that look like disfigured humans but each seems like they are purely made to use the weapons they wield. Bon hopped off my horse unsheathing the hero sword, she ran up to one that looks like a human with a dire wolf body holding two scimitars. The darkness creature seemed to be based on speed given it ran around her easily avoiding Bon's slashes, She was starting to get mad but the anger was damped as pain seared threw her body as she felt one of the scimitars rip threw her armor and into her skin. She fell to the ground in pain but forced her self up, her back was burning in pain as she ran towards the creature again with her sword in tow, the creature gave a crackly demonic laugh "Oh silly hero... You cant kill me, your not even a fighter! Your nothing but a peasant that wants to be something that your not!" Bon glared at it with anger, she slashed at it more but the creature avoided the slashes laughing more "You are a fool..." "I am going to kill you..." Bon fumed, the creature sighed in a sarcastic way "You wont learn? Well then i am going to have to just kill" the creature quickly ran at her, she tried to slash at it but it leaped over her slashing her back more. Bon fell in pain getting up slowly as she thought about what she needs to do. She noticed that it is in fact made of darkness, she focused energy to her ring as she turned into a kind of light arrow flying threw it body, once she got up and looked back at it she saw a whole the size of her, she looked at her body seeing purple blood on her. "Ew... Why is it when ever i use my ring i get covered in blood!?" Bon looked at James seeing him walk over to her with all the creatures dead by him James sighed "Why are you the hero when you cant even fight one Havlin..." "Uhh... Whats a Havlin?" "What darkness creatures are called, well now i know for a fact your dumb" "And your a dick!" Bon said as she laughed > Lyra: 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyra arrived at Canterlot with Derpy and Twilight as they trot towards the castle, they enter the Celestia's throne room. "Oh good evening my faithful student, what do you and your friend need?" Celestia said in a motherly way Lyra stepped up to speak "Princess Celesta, a... Dear friend of mine has gone missing, i was hoping you could send some kind of search party..." Celestia took a deep breath preparing "I am sorry... But we cannot spare the guard to send them... We believe the changelings are plotting to attack once again, i am very sorry. I would suggest you should just wait for her to come back on her own and hope she comes back or this changeling issue ends..." Lyra sighed sadly and nodded as they left After the few hours it took to get back to Ponyville Twilight went up to Lyra "I am sorry Lyra, but if you need anything dont be afraid to come get me alright?..." "Sure..." Lyra replied in a flat way "What happened? I wasnt paying attention to anything that was was going on!" Derpy smiled her eyes blank of any form of intelligence within them Lyra chuckled a little bit and started to walk home Lyra sat in her house alone once again but then she felt something, a pain on her back as if a bee has stung her, she was confused as she looked around and so no form of thing that could have brought the pain, she just couldn't shrug it off. Her mind was swirling with questions. The pain, Bon Bon's disappearance, Nothing was making sense to her. She just sat there thinking about it over and over... > Bon Bon's first test > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon and James arrived at a large castle, Bon stepped in and a quite old man walked up to James "James! Why did you bring a outsider into the castle!? She could be a assassin working for the Havlin..." "Pff, i wish she was... She is the Hero sadly" The old man stopped and looked shocked He thought for a moment "We need to do the test then... We cant be to safe..." The old man waved for Bon to follow, and she did They reached a room filled with spikes, animals, spinning sword, and what seemed to be bandits "This is the Hero Testing Grounds, the people you see are captured bandits who are only let out if they can kill the Hero, this place is made in such a way that only the hero can complete... So good luck" Bon gulped, she didnt know if she could get threw this death trap but she jumped and quickly got attacked by a bear, she unsheathed her sword quickly. The bear clawed at her and she skillfully blocked, with a quick and simple leg sweep she was able to force the bear get into a awkward position making it much easier for he to dig her blade into the bears neck. Bon spun her sword a bit and walked onto a small bridge like path way with two spinning blades at different elevations, she took a moment to stop and think, it seemed that the blades where impossible to get above or under but the middle was open, but even so she would have to take off her armor making her very defenseless but then she remembered her ring, she started to force magic to it but then she heard "Hey! No magic is allowed when doing the course!" Bon sighed sadly and dispelled the magic around her ring and took off her armor and took a few steps back. After a moment of hesitation she ran towards it, jumping threw the blades open gap and passed. She then quickly cheeked her self and noticed she was not dead, she ran towards what seemed to be a narrow hall, on the other side there was a bandit with a bow "Well god damn it..." Bon mumbled and started to run threw the hall, soon she noticed a arrow flying at her and everything seemed to go into slow motion. She somersaulted avoiding the arrow and was able to keep her momentum and when she got to her feet she kept running instantly, reaching the bandit quite fast and slashed his neck and kept running with out care, she saw a large wall with very small foot holds, she stopped again and thought about it, then right after she started to climb using her sword to help her movement, as she climbed her foot slipped and she had to use her sword as a platform to not fall to her death. In one moment she jumped, grabbed a foot hold, ripped her sword out of the wall with her feet, threw it up to her hand, and kept climbing After quite a while of climbing she reached the top and then there was the issue of getting down but when she looked down she saw a pack of wolves "Really!? Come on!" She yelled and took a moment to think once again, she saw one was still and so she jumped down. She landed on the wolf breaking its back using her sword to slash one of the first wolf that leaped at her, she felt the searing pain of another one claw her back. She turned stabbing the wolf in the eye ripping the sword out to slash the neck of another one and in that same motion she was able to turn slash another one in the face forcing it to stumble back giving her a moment to leap over a wolf aiming to cite the back of her leg and slash its back as she flew over it. The face-slashed wolf growled in anger and pain at Bon, she ran towards the wolf and let go of her sword grabbing the wolf by the neck slamming it into the ground breaking the wolf's back, she picked her sword back up and sheathed it, walking threw a door Inside the room there was a narrow hallway on a bridge like pathway, there was on walls or roof, most likely for the many bandits with bows on the pillars that where coming from the ground and above the pit full of spikes, more into the hall way was more spinning blades and another large wall with the small foot holds "... I am going to kill that old man..." She started running towards the blades, and soon she felt everything in slow motion again, she saw many arrows flying at her left and right side. She blocked the arrows on her right side with her sword and jumped over the arrows on her left side and kept running. She leaped threw the blades effortlessly and with only three jumps and sword stabs she was on the top of the wall, at the bottom there where quite a few bandits with swords, she jumped down but this time she dropped to the back side of the bandit and kicked his back with both feet letting her roll to live She quickly slashed up the bandits and burst threw the next set of doors, there was nothing but paladins and the normal castle walls, the old man was standing there, he closed his eyes and when he opened them they where stars. He looked at her "Yup, she used magic that she didnt even know she was using... Shes the Hero" Bon stopped and blinked a few times "So when everything was slow that was... Magic? But... I didn't mean to do it" He laughed "Exactly! All Heros are blessed with the power to make things slow but it only happens with ranged attacks... Unless you learn to use it" Bon was pissed "Why couldnt you just shoot a arrow at me!?" And he laughed again "Well the power dosn't work unless the hero knows its a real attack!" Bon punched him and walked away... > Lyra: 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyra opened a book she borrowed from Twilight labeled 'Soul Tracking 101' she opened it and started reading it stated "High level unicorns, and low level ones, can do the spell 'Soul Tacking', for high levels its not hard but for low levels it can make ponies black out or even die. To use it you must forces your own soul to your eyes letting you seethe trail left by the souls of others, its like following a scent" Lyra closed the book and looked up "I could die from this?... Dosnt matter... I know i can do it..." She closed her eyes and thought about her soul moving from her whole body to her eyes. After a few moments of tons of pain her eyes where glowing with her soul but she felt hollow everywhere else and her eyes felt like they where going to pop out She walked around her house and found the trail of Bon's soul, she saw it coming from the stairs down to the kitchen and then it stopped there. Lyra knew something was very wrong, you cant just move or move someone else with out leaving a soul trail... Lyra forced her soul back to her body and instantly fell Lyra slowly woke up feeling a steady thumb of pain in her scull. Sighing she got up and headed back to Twilight's place to return the book, but as she walked she thought about what if a pony teleported, it wouldn't leave a trail but then again Bon cant teleport given she dosnt have a horn and if someone teleported her away there would still be the other ponies trail Lyra reached Twilight's home knocking on the door. Twilight opened up "Oh hello Lyra, what do you need?" "Well i wanted to return the soul tracking book" Twilight nodded, taking it in her magical grasp "Anything else?" Twilight asked, more worried about Lyra's mental health then anything she needed "I could use any book you have on... Gods, portals, other worlds, and... Advanced teleportation. I have a hunch..." Twilight was very confused but shrugged and walked into her library and came back out with a very large stack of books. Lyra smiled a bit at the fact she will be reading for quite a long time. Lyra took them in a magical grasp placing them carefully in her saddle bag and trotted away. Once she got to her home she cracked open the first book she could grab and got to reading > Bon Bon's first raid defence > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bon Bon was training when she heard a load 'Boom' . Bon quickly grabbed a ring on her necklace mumbling the unsealing words summoning her trusty phoenix as she ran to the source of the sound. She reached the outer walls, there where many Halvins attacking. I saw a bunch of paladins and i jumped off the wall focusing magic to her ring turning into water so when she landed with just a splash turning back quickly and she quickly unsheathed she sword turning into fire to rip threw a Havlin that seemed to be a one big living shield to defend the Havlins that are basically tigers with its mouth being a crossbow, but the spell ran dry quickly from Bons use of the water version to get off the wall, she mumbled a cuss but then her phoenix did the job of lighting them on fire. As the shield one panicked to get rid of the flames Bon was able to leap over its body and stab its back which was its only weakness, suddenly slow motion happened, she looked around until she saw one of the tiger-bow Havlins that shot at her, quickly avoiding the arrow, Bon remembered her training: Tiger-Crossbow Havlins are deadly from far but there main weakness is speed, you get close and wait for it to fire and then it is defenseless, you move in and kill it... Bon dashed at the tiger-crossbow as it was reloading and quickly slashed it's neck open with out a second thought, she ran back to the wall turning into wind to fly up the side of the wall running to James "What is going on!?" James turned, stopping his fire with his bow "Its a Halvin raid! Now get back down there!" James yelled, Bon sighed and jumped back down using her ring to turn to water again, she ran and saw a dire wolf human mix like the last one she fought it looked at her growling slightly. It dashed at her with amazing speed, she thought about her training once again: To fight the dire wolf human mix you must use speed ranged attack. But if you dont have any form, like Bon, use must use more speed such as Bon turning into lighting to rip his apart. The only reason she was able to use fire last time was due to it under estimating her... Bon ran at him using her sword to slash in hope to make sure it dosnt understand her speed in hope to make it cocky, it quickly dodged and slashed her back but seeing how there was a opening, she turned into lighting flying at its chest but it shockingly dodged. Bon was worried, it now knew her power so it would be are to do the same move. But they she was her phoenix coming down to send fire from its talons but the creature jumped very high into the air reaching the same level as it, slashing it dispelling Bon's phoenix. As the mix fell she knew the mix wouldn't be able to dodge the attack so she focused her magic to the ring turning into lighting and so she flew to the mix and ripped threw its body killing it instantly... Bon ran up to a berserker Halvin, it was basicly a huge human like creature. Bon was about to attack but she stopped in her tracks, her mind was filled with sadness of the idea of Lyra thinking she left her, from her mind being clouded she couldn't see the berserker smash the ground in front of her making her fly into the air, when she landed her arm snapped. Bon screamed in pain, she stood up grabbing her sword in her only working arm but as she went to slash her mind of clouded again, but this time of the idea that she is killing just to get to Lyra. This enable the beserker to grab her and squeeze her with enough force to break two ribs, Bon let out a yell as pain rushed threw her body. Bon COULD have just turned into any form to get out but then the idea of how much pain she made to Lyra didn't let her, making the beserker throw her at the ground. Once she hit the ground she felt one of her legs break... Bon's vision got blurry, but she didn't care her mind was set on Lyra and how much she has let her down... But suddenly large clouds filled the sky, soon a large beam of light came down... Something holy was going on...
