A man named Edward Smith has gone to Equestria as displaced. But this is a different story than your average displaced story. Follow Edward Smith as he tries to end a war.
There will be obstacles in his path... even with all of his power will he be able to get through them
Hi my name is Edward Smith and commotion was high at this year's comic con. I have been to many of these and they all been quite fun.
I was 6.2 feet tall, brown eyes, Brown hair and I was muscular but no six pack kinda guy. I had a black running shoes, black pants, black T-shirt and black fingerless gloves.
Before you should read any further I am a Brony. So if you have any problems you can leave now because I'm pretty sure you know what the stories about.
I was enjoying myself until I noticed something that I recognize instantly. The Merchant.
Brony legend says, if you find the merchant he will send you to Equestria with power.
I walk up to his booth.
“Hello Mr. merchant!” I said in a cheerful Tone. “Who are you sending to Equestria today!”
“Wait, you know?” he starts to panic.
“Wait man calm down I actually want to go to Equestria!”
“Wha- you do?” he said confused.
“Yeah! my life is pretty boring anyways so I want to change it up!” I said with a big grin.
“Well then you are rare case indeed… I will send you to Equestria, along with a gift. Since you were the first to not run away from me from finding out you can pick more than one item for free.”
“Well that's very generous of you!”
“Indeed it is, and thank you for not running away and making me have to disappear for a while. Now pick whatever you want it's on the house.”
I looked at the many items and saw what I could take.
“So what Equestria are you sending me?” I said as I'm starting to pick some items.
“That’s for me to know and you to find out” he said with a smirk.
I had taken the elder scrolls book from Skyrim, The ring from shadow of war, and the two pistols from darkness 2. Finally I got a level five Spear from far cry primal.
“Come on not even a little hint” I pleaded.
“Nope” is all I got in return.
“Fine but I somehow die I will be blaming you” as I said that the floor broke open underneath me and I fell in.
“I hope you like your gift” was the last thing I heard.

Darkness was all... around me everywhere I looked there was only darkness… I could hear the wind blowing through the trees...I could hear birds singing... and I can feel the ground... so why was the world coverage in darkness.
“Probably because you have your eyes closed boss”
my eyes instantly open and I sat up looking around for the voice.
Then I saw a figure coming behind a tree. Another figure appearing before me through a bright light. The last one came from the ground as a Skelton.
The first figure was only made up out of shadows but look like a human. The second figure appeared to me as a human in armour but I could not see their face. The third figure was growing skin and armour.
Eventually they looked like… ME! What the fuck is going on!
“We should probably explain that” Said the shadow. “You see, we are the merchants gifts. Sir.”
“And how are you to my gifts?” I replied.
Finally they were clear enough for me to get a good luck. The shadow me look like me in shape and size, maybe just a bit more muscular. he was completely made out of shadows and the darkness was coming out of his back. He had crimson red eyes that just shun like the moon. He had a business suit on like he was an owner of a mafia.
The warrior looking guy glowed weight and his eyes were blue. He seemed a lot more muscular and had a spear planted in the ground. He had a sword on his right hip and a hammer on his left. (Just picture him like the Bright Lord from shadow of Mordor/war)
The third figure had armour from shadow of war and his face looks like it was broken.
“Basically we’re like your servants. Unlike the Bright lord we cannot disobey your command, we can only assist you and give you other ideas. Sir.” Said the warrior.
I had a lot to think about.
“Here’s a faster way you just let us talk and I’ll be done 1000 times faster, my master” said the shadow of war me. I nodded my head and they continued… each of them taking turns. “So basically” started the shadow me. “after you didn’t rat out the Merchant, he was feeling generous so he gave you a gift… us. He gave you other gifts to but that’s not important to what this is boss.
“I am the Bright lord.” said the warrior me “he is the dark Lord” he said pointing to the shadow. “and he is the Lord of death. of course You were given the ring but you were also where given the bonus of having three lords instead of one. Sir.”
The three of us will give you boost. For example you will be gaining memories from each of us. I will be giving you the memories of how to raise the dead and control them, while light will be giving you memories of strategy and fighting. Darkness will be giving memories of business running and sabotaging”
“Also everything has been tripled since you have three lords. Your speed has been tripled in, durability, strength, power, and you have quadruple jump. boss."
“That and the added power of Skyrim you are almost unbeatable. You have all the blessings, Stones, Shotes, and the magic there is. With a shout it takes about a few seconds before you can use another one. You also be getting memories of survival skills since you also got the spear from far cry primal. Sir.”
“And since this is realistic there’s no more shoot him in the head and they somehow surviving, or doing barely any damage, too no damage at all. Master”
“That’s right. Another boost is no longer possessing one guy and turning them into a slaved zombie. (basically) You are going to be able to possessed as many as you can as long as they’re in range. Boss.”
“All in all you were one of the strongest beings alive. Sir.”
After they finally finished I got to thinking. Most likely I’m in Equestria in the everfree forest. I was thinking on where I was going to go from here.
There are thousands of possibilities of what universe am in. I can be in a normal universe. I could be in an Anthro universe. I could be in a universe of your human and you… I actually never seen it displaced story like that… I wonder what it would be like.
I decided not to worry about it and the first worry about where I am.
“All right thank you for the info but I think I can take it from here” I said.
“All right, boss, sir, master,” they said in unison.
They left in a blink of an eye and I decided to have a look around.
I felt other weight on me so I decided to take a look at it.
They were a whole bunch of armour and equipment on me.
There were two pistols on my hips. Light’s spear on my back along with a sword and a knife that belong to the vengeance set of shadow of war.
After that nothing else was different but I begin to notice that I was able to hear commotion a few yards away.
I started walking to that direction began to feel danger like I needed to get there fast. I started running faster and faster until a few yards became a few miles.
It’s been three hours since our village has been rated by diamond dogs. I like many others, human. For centuries are people has been on the verge of extinction, or being turned into Pats.
We are intelligent and everyone knows that… but it’s always been like this. I’m only a seven-year-old girl and I already lost everything.
My father was a warrior of our tribe he fought bravely but he did not have any armour that the diamond dogs had.
My mother was holding me tightly making sure that the diamond dogs can get us.
Out of 50 people out of our tribe. I think there is no more than 13…
I am sore and I feel sick. I saw my best friend atlas get eaten alive. All I can do is cry in my mother‘s arms.
My mother started shaking me I looked up at her and she said six word “I love you Samantha, now go” she then gently pushed me down and somehow I was able to fit through the cage.
Before I could hit the ground the diamond dogs noticed. “HEY! Where do you think you’re going!” I didn’t give him an answer as I ran.
I did everything my small body could do. Anywhere I could fit that Diamond dogs couldn’t I took. it was going good until I started getting tired. For second I tried to take my breath. That’s when they ambushed me in pinned me against the tree.
They started barking and I knew they were going to eat me… all I could do was cry…
xxxxxxxxxx (POV Edward Smith)
As a rant I eventually found a clearing. There were three diamond dogs surrounding something that I cannot see.
They were big and muscular maybe 6 1/2 feet tall. Their armour look to be made out of iron but it was so rusty that I couldn’t tell if it was copper.
I tried to go back to mind my own business... until I saw something.
The dogs seem to be laughing at something when I got closer look I saw a… human girl! What universe is this? Is the girl intelligent? is this a your human and you universe? As thousands of questions race through my mind I got the answer I was looking for.
“Please (sob) (sob) (sob) don’t (sob) Hurt me” said the little girl.
‘These monsters would dare to hurt a little girl!’ At that moment something snapped in my mind ‘I will show you what it’s like to feel fear!’
I let out a terrifying scream! The darkness appeared on my back and I rushed forward. They didn’t even see me coming! As they turned around to identify with the screen... l grabbed my spear, jumped in the air, and sliced rate down the middle to the middle one.
Before the others could react late and death appeared out of nowhere and cut their throats.
It took me a few minutes to come back from what I did, the darkness already went away.
It’s a little girl seemed to have passed out. Eventually though she woke up. As she looked around she had a look of confusion plastered on her face.
As soon as her eyes fell on me she had a look of fear and confusion. “Hi, how are you?“ I said calmly.
“I am... I’m good” she said terrified.
“There’s no one reason to be terrified of me little one you were safe here” she didn’t look convince considering I was covered in blood. “Where you come from?” I asked.
“I… came from... my village… but diamond dogs… attack village… kill many warriors… my dad (sob) defend village… but no good… (sob) (sob).” She said in tears.
I comfort her the best I could and consider what to do next.
“Rest of villagers… trapped!” She said.
I can feel my anger rising, but I control it not wanting to scare the girl.
I look at her and make her look at me. “Take me to them, I shall show the diamond dogs what it’s like to feel fear” as I said that a warm smile craps on her face. She hugged me then grabs my hand and search pulling me north. With the sun directly above us we slowly March to save her family.
As we get on a hill I can see diamond dogs pulling two carts. One seems be food supplies while the other is a cage of humans.
In a minute they will cross right in front of us. I look at the girl and tell her to stay here.
I jump onto the road blocking the path. They start speaking a language I do not understand and rushed towards me.
A cocky smile is on my face. I start rushing forward gaining speed said they could never achieve. I quickly grab my sword raise it above my head and-(sonk)... apparently running into a hoard of spears was a bad idea.
I look on the humans face seeing no hope in them I hear a scream of “No!” Right behind me. I turned around the best I can to see the little girl on the hill scared.
The dogs start smoking to each other and toss me aside. I can only watch as they get closer to the girl. The closest to the girl seem to be the leader since he was standing at 8 feet and had some type of royal robe.
He was also the exact same one to stab me… well I guess I did all the work for him.
There was nothing I could do as I wash them the closer to the girl too terrified to move.
Eventually I got a feeling in my hand. I remember one of the powers in shadow of war. I reach my hand out and I start feeling better.
xxxxxxxxxx (Leader diamond dog POV)
Stupid humans when will they ever learn their races will never be equal to others. When will they learn that they are nothing but our food source.
As I get closer to the girl at grin comes on my face. As soon as I am nothing but a foot away from her I raise my sword… but... I feel... something.. in my gut. I look down to see the wound was appearing out of nowhere.
“AAAHHHH!!” I scream as loud as I can.
(bang!) (bang!) (bang!)
I turned around to see the one human back up on his feet on injured. Did… he do this to me..! Who is he! He looks at me and pointed something at me.
the last thing The diamond dog leader hear is (bang!)
xxxxxxxxxx (Edward Smith POV)
After healing myself I decided to take the safe route and pull out my two pistols. I don’t understand how I did not see the speaker coming. ‘we will explain later’ said a voice in my head. I couldn’t tell which water set it considering they all sound like me.
The rest start fleeing for their lives. One tries to rush to me only for him to get shot in the leg.
I needed answers on what was going on and I wanted them now. I walk up to him and place my hand on his head. As his eyes glow green I go into his mind.
I looked around me, and all I could see was purple. I Looked around more and I saw glass orbs appearing out of nowhere. As I looked into one I could see that it was some type of memory.
“This is very interesting boss.” I turned around to see darkness, looking through the memories.
“Hey Darkness. What are you doing here?” I asked. My voice seemed to echo like there is three of me talking at once.
“Well, me and the boys are getting bored watching you get your ass kicked so I decided to see what you doing.” He replied.
“Well, right now I’m trying to see if I can get information on the humans of this world. I must know what’s going on.” I say, determined.
“Oh. Well boss, you see when you’re in this memory… whatever the fuck this is, I think you’re supposed to grab a piece of glass that contains the memory you see. I’m guessing that because you have three Lords you can have three of these memory glasses... but this would also explain why you can only find out information of one Captain.”
I thought about it and it made sense. He was no master at the game but at least this clears up some information.
Start looking around. Some seem to be useless others I have no clue what they are.
“And by the way, why did I get my ass kicked? I thought I had all your guys's his memories?”
“That’s the thing master,” said Death as he walked in. “You only have the memories. You’ve never trained a day in your life with these memories. Seeing something and doing it are two completely different things. We can help you train but that may take time. You could also just let one of us take control but there is no guaranteed that the other two Lords Will be happy, and might try to take control. You can let the darkness inside of you take control but, you may be hurting people that you do not wish to hurt.” Death explained.
That made me pause. I just realize that the darkness is inside of me. Maybe I should’ve thought more of this through… too late now and besides there are people in danger… and I would not dare let them stand alone.
I continue to look for the memories that I wanted. I found one on the guy that I’m guessing was the leader of this little group of the Diamond dogs.
I found another one that seems to be in more Royal clothing then the other one.
And finally I found one that kept shifting through human after human after human. They were kids males and females. Some seemed to be doctors, warriors and other important figures but by the looks of the humans they seem to be more of the caveman style.
As soon as I grab the final shard. I was blinded by a bright light.

The first thing I saw was a village completely on fire. I could hear screams like they were miles around. As I looked at the burning village, I saw something horrifying.
I saw two diamond dogs chopped to pieces. I felt like I knew them… I feel like they were my parents.
What was I supposed to do with this? I was just a little pup… i’m not old enough to take care of myself yet. “Die monster!” I looked up to see a mean old Griffin charging at me… I want my mommy. *Shing*
I opened my eyes to see a strong diamond dog standing over the now the dead griffin. “Come with me little one Ralph will take care of you now”
For years Ralph took care of me. He teaches me how to fight and hunt.
Soon we read 'Village Of Humans'. Me made Ralph proud.
xxxxxxxxxx
When me meet Louie he is a strong diamond dog. Me challenged him but failed.
Louie likes me. Louie sends me on mission to attack the human village.
Me not let Louie down.
xxxxxxxxxx
Humans are delicious food. The female seem to squirm the most. Makes it more delicious.
Humans run but never get far. Humans hide but are always found. No human can beat diamond dogs.
xxxxxxxxxx
Me see Ralph die. Me kill human who kill Ralph! Me charge at human! Me slaughter human and all humans who dare challenge me.
Me get closer but leg is in pain. Human get closer! Human scary eyes, scare me. Human touch me.
Me let Louie down.
xxxxxxxxxx
I appeared Back to the waking world… was I this diamond dog… “no” said bright. “You were not the diamond dog but you nearly gained his memories and who started this mission.”
As he said that I could feel the darkness crawling on my back wanting to slice him into pieces! To find everyone he loves and slaughter them like sheep! I will slau-*buzz* I felt a sharp buzz in my head. “Stay focused general!” said bright. “All of us wish for our revenge too, but you cannot strike fear into the humans if you wish to free them!”
I look around me and the world has gone dark. I remember that time usually stops or extremely slows down when I’m doing this.
I think of my options.
I could blow his head off which might strike fear into the humans.
I could turn him into a slave but that also might strike fear into the humans
I would let him go but the humans might demand justice.
Well, he does seem strong… fuck it I’ll go with 2.
I looked through my memories to find the one I wanted, and began to siphon power through my left arm. That power eventually went to my left hand and I could see my mark of a handprint burning on his face.
As I turned him into a slave the world eventually went back to normal. (Punch)
I was instantly hit in the face by another diamond dog. There seem to have been five more that I didn’t see and they all surrounded me.
A few of them had smirks on their faces and one was checking up on the diamond dog that I just enslaved. His eyes and market kept changing from green, purple and blue.
It was time to put my diamond dog to the test “Diamond dog!” I shouted.
The diamond dog that I enslaved looked up at me. I pointed my right index finger at the diamond dog that was looking at him.
“Kill him” I commanded. The enslaved diamond dog picked up his fallen spear and jammed it into the neck of the very dog that was looking after him. There was no hesitation as he jammed it further in the diamond dog’s neck.
He then let the diamond dog go and his body fell to the ground. The other diamond dogs took a step back. They looked back-and-forth confused, so they decided to just rush it.
I gathered more power into my left hand and use that power to enslave the rest of them. I was slowly learning, but I was learning.
The diamond dogs screamed as the marks appear on their faces. Some tried to claw it out seeing what it did to their friends. In the end I had five enslaved diamond dogs and a cart full of humans.
“You’re OK!” shouted The little girl. She ran past the diamond dogs not even terrified of them and hugged me with tears in her eyes.
She looked around at the enslaved diamond dog faces. “Are there going to hurt us?” She asked.
“No.” I softly reply “they will hurt no one again. Not unless I command it.”
I stood up with the human girl in my arms. “I forgot to ask you, what is your name?” I asked politely.
“Oh, it’s Samantha! What is your name Mr.....“ she said with a smile
I chuckle a little bit “heheh, usually go by the Bright Lord… The people Skyrim call me Dragonborn… and the Winja call me the Beastmaster… but you can call me whatever you like.”
We begin to walk over the humans who are starting to crawl away as much as they can. As we get in front of the cage I pull out my spear and pointed at the cage. “Release them!” I commanded.
The enslaved diamond dogs did as they were told. They brought their rusty iron swords, axes, and maces and began tearing the cage apart.
The humans look dumb with shock and surprise when their once slavers were setting them free.
I set the girl on what reminded of the cage and she began calling out her mother.
“Mommy?” There was no response.
“Mommy?” This time in elderly man move decide and moved up a corpse.
“I am sorry Samantha....” he said looking at Samantha. “Your mother sacrificed herself to save you.”
Samantha began to cry. she practically jumped on her mother and begged her to wake up.
I noticed that she was stabbed right in the heart. I examined the wound as I was comforting Samantha. The wound was made by a spear.
I turned to the enslaved diamond dogs and noticed one has a spear and it was bloody. I could still see the blood draw from the spear.
With rage fueling in my heart, I ordered the other diamond dogs to kill him. The one that was holding the spear dropped it and let the other Diamond dogs tear him apart.
I went to comfort Samantha again while the diamond dogs were tearing the one dog apart. On the human's faces I could see shock and disbelief as the Diamond dogs were taking orders from me without hesitation.
The elderly man looked at me “who are you?” he asked.
The wind howled through the air. Gray clouds covered the sky. I had just saved 12 humans and enslaved 4 diamond dogs. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to save Samantha’s mother… I was currently carrying her and she had fallen asleep in my arms.
She had been crying for at least an hour, until she finally passed out. I don’t know what I could do to help, so I just carried her and let her cry it out.
The elderly human tribe leader named Boman told me the story of what happened to his tribe.
I could barely imagine losing everything in a snap of your fingers. Samantha must really feel miserable. I am the only one that might be able to take care of her.
I could give it to one of the other humans, but five of them are young men, maybe just old enough to join the army. The other five are for women who are also around the same age and another child.
I am 24 and probably the only one capable at the moment to handle a child. I would’ve taken the other child to take care of, but I learned that she's Boman’s granddaughter.
On the carriage is Samantha‘s mother, there is a thin, brown blanket around her to cover her wounds. There are two diamond dog slaves pushing the carriage forward. The other two are right beside me, keeping guard.
I looked over to my left, at the first diamond out that I enslaved. His face was emotionless as his eyes scanned the trees.
Did I do the right thing it’s leaving him… Who am I to take free will away like some type of god.
‘You cannot worry about that now. And besides, they slaughtered your people. This is just payback‘ said one of the Lords. I couldn’t tell if it was Death or Darkness... But I kinda want to believe them.
(drip) (drip)
I felt something land on my head. When I put my hand up there, I could feel a little wet spot.
(drip) (drip) (drip)
It started raining and somehow I knew it would start pouring soon. “Alright everyone, let’s try to find a shelter quick” I said hurrying everyone.
We eventually found a cave and went inside. I set Samantha down and went deeper in the cave. After about a minute I reached the end knowing that this cave was abandoned.
As I got up, I got a perfect view of a bright light before a- (Ka-boom!) The sound echoed through the cave as a lightning bolt struck just outside the cave.
“Mmmm… Mr. Bright lord is that you…” I looked over to my left to where I can barely see Samantha. I start walking up to her.
“Yes, Samantha it’s me. Did the lightning bolt startle you?” I asked and she nodded.
“Yeah…” she said that she began to become uneasy. “Umm Mr. Bright Lord, I think I know what I want to call you.”
I sat down right beside her “Well don’t be shy, I promise I won’t get mad”, I say as I give her a comforting smile. She probably can’t see it, but just in case.
“I would like to call you… umm (mumble)” she said under her breath.
“I’m sorry sweetie, but I didn’t hear what you said” I replied.
“I said… can I call you… dad?” she said as she looked me in the eyes. Just lately I could see a small smile.
I had a face of disbelief. I was going to take care of her but for her to already call me dad… It brought a smile on my face. What would’ve happened to her if I didn’t pick up those objects at comic con. Well, I guess there’s no reason to fear right now.
“Of course, my daughter.” I said as a few tears slid down my face. We embraced each other one last time before the night over-took us and we fell asleep.
A beam of light hit my face as I awoke from my slumber. I hope in my eyes I noticed that the sun peering over the trees has hit directly into the cave.
I get up, stretching my legs and making sure that Samantha is comfortable. I walk out of the cave, as I noticed where the lightning bolt had struck - 20 meters from outside the cave.
As I move forward, the sun suddenly hid behind the trees again, so I wait for it to rise once more.
The grass and trees had a certain shine to it that made it peaceful.
“(sigh) It is peaceful isn't it?” Said an elderly voice behind me.
I turned around to be greeted by Boman. “Greetings Boman“ I said cheerfully. “And yes it is quite peaceful.”
He slowly walking beside me. he inhales a chunk of air before releasing it. “It was like this every day in the Village” he said softly.
We both look forward at the sunrise. “Times were tough, but it’s probably been the safest any human has ever lived in their life”.
We both just stood there and looking at each-other and not saying a word.
“(Cough) (cough) Bright lord…” with the way he use my title I turned to him knowing that this will be important.
“I’ve seen your strength… I see your potential… I need you to promise me something” he said.
“Ask and you will receive an answer” I say.
“Promise me you will protect them… Promise me, that when I am long gone, children will not have to worry about their parents… Promise me the elderly can enjoy their life as it slowly passes by… Promise me hunters will not have to worry about their comrades dying during the hunt… Promise me that when the Sun rises on a new day that humans and all of the races will stand together and not as slaves… And finally… Promise me that you will be a good father.” He didn’t take his eyes off the rising sun as he said that.
“You heard” I ask. He simply nods his head and closes his eyes for a second. I go back and looking at the rising sun. The sun has risen over the tree line once again and I had to fix my eyes a little bit.
A million different thoughts were going through my head. I was in a world I did not think clearly before going to.
I thought I would’ve ended up like most Displaced. In all the good stories that I read about Displaced, is that they make whole new lives, make friends of the Main Six and usually start a family with one of them… I thought I could have a good life.
But I learned in this world that not all good stories have a good start. But I cannot let things stand like this. I have to make a change.
I will learn and adapt. I’ll learn what I can and can’t do. I will then bring my teachings onto them. I will liberate the humans and bring justice and order to this world.
When I read 'Your Human and You' universe stories about this, usually the main character would try to kill every other race and spare none… But here is an old man begging me to not bring the other races down, but only bring us up to be equal with them.
Looking back at the sun, this time not bothered by its rays of light. I may have not gotten the world I wanted, but it’s my world now. And how can I refuse this offer.
“Only for a week. The diamond dogs will protect you until I arrive back“ I say settling his worries. I can tell the young man didn’t trust the diamond dogs, but he understands that he will halve the work with them.
In front of me were all the humans that have beem freed. The Lord’s told me that I need training, and that it will only take a week. I don’t understand how, but I trust them.
Samantha was really upset, considering I had just became her father and was about to leave.
She rushes to my legs and hugs them tightly. “Please don’t go!” she says. It took all my strength to say no. “I’m sorry sweetie, but if I’m going to protect you, I have to go for one week. That’s it. When I return, I’ll find something we can do together, just me and you.”
She looks up at me with a tear filled face “You promise?” she asks.
I kneel in front of her. I wish there was something I could give her to show that I was coming back. “You can” said one of the Lords. I felt something pop into my hands and when I looked at it, it was a book from 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'.
I open the book real quick and noticed that it had all of the magic, stones abilities, blessings and shouts in it. It was written in the dragon language, but somehow, even without studying it, I could read it with ease.
I show her the book and put it in her arms. “Samantha I am trusting you with this book. It may not seem like much, but this book is very important to me. Do you mind holding onto it so I can come back and get it?” I gave her smile as I said that.
She smiles back and holds the book tightly while nodding her head her head. She gives me a thin brown blanket. I realize this was the same blanket that covered her mother.
I nodded and took the blanket, promising to protect it.
I rose to my full height and look at Bowman. “You don’t mind looking after her do you?”
“Like I said before,” he said “I wouldn’t mind watching her for a week.“
I give him a nod of appreciation and start making my way to the forest.
On my way I noticed the little grave that we made for Samantha’s mother to the right. I silently promised myself that I would protect Samantha, so that her mother wouldn’t die in vain.
As I make it to the edge, I look back one last time to see they’re all watching me. I give them one last night before I disappear into the forest.

It’s been about two hours and Death finally tells me to stop. I’m surprised I don’t feel at least a little bit tired after that walk, but I do as he says.
The Lords appear beside me.
“Alright,” says Death “now, you might be wondering why it’s only gonna take you a week.”
I nodded my head confirming his statement.
“Well, you see you’re not actually going to be gone for a week.” I look at him confused. “You see we’re gonna put you in like some type of sleep state where you only have your body here for a week, but you will be training for years.”
“Ahh, now I understand” I say. "My body will be here for a week, but my mind is going to be here but I’m gonna be training for years.”
“Exactly" says Bright.
“But wait, my body be exposed to animals that are hungry.”
“Don’t worry I have that covered” said Death. Behind him I could see many green Gondorian guards ready to defend my body.
As I see that I will be protected while I am training, my fears wash away from me.
I picked the most comfortable tree I could find and lay down for the next week. I leave the blanket on me. It’s a little weird, but I like feeling the warmth. As I close my eyes, I wonder what training will be like.

As I re-open my eyes, I notice that I am on a mountain that’s at least 500 meters tall. The clothes that I was wearing disappeared, wearing caveman clothes now.
I also noticed that on my head is some kind of skull. I take off this scull and look at it. I feel a chill go down my spine.
I put the Elk skull back on and noticed Bright appearing before me. “Now, we are in the Far Cry Primal world. The first thing that you’re going to have to learn is survival, so good luck… Also, don’t worry about dying you’ll just respawn… But you’ll still feel the pain.” he vanishes into thin air and leaves me… All alone… Probably going to die...
(three months later)
“Fu-!”
My stomach growls at me as I haven’t eaten in a while. I look around with my hunters vision and noticed footprints quite easily. I look to the left at my partners Alpha and Snowball.
(Alpha)
(Snowball)
And there's a group of kin behind them. I pet them on the head a little bit and look for a place to climb.
I climb a tree and noticed a deer a few meters away. I draw my longbow and focus as I make a clear shot at my target.
I jump down the tree and go grab my dinner. As I make my way to the deer, I quickly start a fire and start cooking it.
My wolves go hunting for some more deer and bring it back to cook some more.
I rest my back against a rock and Alpha curls up on my left, while Snowball curls up on my right. I start thinking on everything that has happened for the last three months.
While being here for three months, I was able to learn of shit ton of survival skills, considering I probably died a few dozen times. And trust me, none of them didn’t hurt. I starved, been eaten alive and been murdered by some Udum.
But after the second month, I have been getting used to it. Everyone here is actually like in the game, so there’s no talking your way out of anything. There is only a few key differences, like me having multiple animals out instead of just one.
I learned how to craft all my weapons and are at maximum level for each one. I helped save Wenja and learned how to use my inventory. It’s basically a pocket dimension to put my shit in. Finally I learned how to tame all the animals and the rest of the skill tree.
I was able to tame more than one wolf, so that I can have a little cute army… What can I say, I love wolves.
I learned a few powers from Skyrim and Shadow of War, but that’s it.
As I noticed that the meat is ready, I get a tap on my shoulder.
I move my head to the right just enough so I can see the person. I noticed Death giving me a little smile and a bow of his head. “Greetings, Master, I have come to give you your next test.”
Thank God, I was done with this hell hole… But as I looked around, I noticed all my wolves. I didn’t want to leave them, they were with me most of the time. Death also noticed that and said “You know, Master, that you can just put them in your pocket dimension, right?”
I look at them and say “Wouldn't they just starve to death?”
“No need to worry” he replied. “Your pocket dimension or inventory has no time passing through it. One second it goes, in the next second is when the portal reopens.”
I nod my head and open up a small portal to fit my wolves. All 15 of them went through.
As the last one makes it through, I close the portal and look at Death.
“Alright death what’s next?”
Instead of replying, he gives me a smirk and I start passing out.
xxxxxxxxxx
My eyes slowly flutter open, as I notice that the ground seems to be moving. Now I’m sitting on something.
As I open my eyes more I notice that I am on a... cart? I look around me and notice the Stormcloaks. I didn’t notice my hands are tied up.
“Oh Mother Fu-!”
xxxxxxxxxx
(Two years later)
Finally... After two long... Fucking! Years! I’ve done every fucking mission in Skyrim. I died more than I could probably count and that is generously rounding down. I’m pretty sure I barely feel pain anymore.
My skill tree is up to 100%. I found every hidden spot on the map. I finished the Civil War that is a lot harder than in the game. I learned every possible shout I could learn. And I mastered dragon and daedric languages.
What else do you want to throw to me, world?!
I sit down on a rock. I was able to find a full set of Daedric armour and weapons. I know a few great magic spells, but I am nowhere near a Master level. I joined The Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves guild. I battled for the Stormcloaks and I defeated Alduin.
And the only downside is that everyone’s just a computer. Though I made many companions we can never really talk to each other, so I just preferred to be alone.
I accepted that I am the only true being here that has a choice. I know I’m supposed to be training so I can help the humans, but I still miss Samantha. I know my training is important, but I’m still human.
“Well you won’t have to worry any longer.” I turned around to identify the voice to find Bright standing there.
“Good evening, General” he gave me a salute and proceeded to sit beside me. He looks a hell at the dozens of bodies that I just slaughtered.
“Busy?” he said. I just nodded my head in reply. “I know it’s frustrating right now, but soon you’ll realize that this is for the greater good.”
I just sigh and say “Maybe you’re right, but I just can’t help it. I may have gotten better, but my feelings are choking me up inside. In the game I could always just sympathize, saying that they’re just computers. But when you’re face-to-face trying to kill each other… I start to hesitate.”
“I know, I understand your feelings” he says.
I just look at him confused.
“I am you, remember? Everything you feel, I feel as well. Trust me, things will get harder, there will be some nights where don’t you think you can sleep. But when you remember all the people that are depending on you, you’re ready to make that sacrifice” he gives me a smile and pats me on the back.
I returned the smile, but he probably can’t see it due to my Daedric helmet. “Thank you, Bright, I feel a bit better.” I say thanking him.
“No problem, sir. Now, I must escort you to your third test.” As he says that a portal appears behind him. “Oh I would get rid of the arm if I was you and put it in the inventory. You lose everything as soon as you go through.”
I remembered I did the exact same thing with my wolves two years ago. Do I have a perfect memory? I’m remembering shit I should’ve forgotten long time ago… Maybe that’s why it was so easy to learn the languages.
I open up my pocket dimension and toss my armour inside along with my weapons.
I turn around to see Bright leading me to a portal. But as I went through, Bright suddenly disappeared.
As I looked around, I noticed that I was in a cave. A very familiar Cave. The Cave you enter in the start of the game with Shelob.
I looked down, noticing I’ve already gotten stronger and faster. I quickly kill any Orcs in my way.
As I make it to the exit I noticed Celebrimbor was stuck on the wall. I noticed Bright on the ground, but the whole world seems to be frozen in time.
“Who are you?” said a feminine voice behind me. I turned around and noticing Shelob in her human form.
“What do you mean” I reply
She shows a face of frustration and says “Do you not fear me? I have the power to see the future, and now it’s gone because of you coming here. So I will ask again. Who are you?”
“I am the Bright Lord, Talion.” I say calmly.
“Do not lie to me!” She shouts angrily “Talion is all but gone from this world! Ever since you showed up!”
“All right!” I say “you’re right, I’m not Talion, but I am the Bright Lord”
“That doesn’t make any sense” she said confused.
“That’s because... I am from a different universe” I said truthfully.
“What, do you mean?” she asked.
“In my world, Middle Earth is nothing but a book and a game.”
She looks even more confused
“You see, you guys aren’t real in my world. But in my world, there is a person called The Merchant. If you buy an item from him he will send you to a world called "My Little Pony" from the TV show. I bought many items, but one was the new ring. At first it was fake, but then became real.”
She nodded her head starting to understand a little bit “But wait, if you want to this my little pony universe, how did you end up here?”
“I was getting to that,” I say “as I got there, I learned that the humans there were nothing more than slaves and food. I quickly freed some humans and decided to train in different universes to get used to my powers. But this is strange.” I looked at her and she seems confused. In every universe I went to it’s been in my mind so they acted just like the game… But I am able to fully interact with you?”
She walks over to a rock and sits down. “That is quite strange” she says. I walk in sit down beside her ”I’m surprise you’re taking this quite well, not every day you get told that your life has been all but I lie and repeated over and over.” I say impressed.
“Trust me” she says “I have been through a lot worse. To learn that my life is a lie, it’s kind of refreshing, in a way.”
Now it was me who was confused. “What do you mean?" I ask.
“Isn’t it obvious” she says with a sly smirk. She stands up get closer to me wiggling her hips suggestively. She said down on my lap face-to-face with me and says “I’m going with you and helping you, if you free me from my prison.”
“So... explain the plan to me again” said Shelob. I sighed as I would have to explain to her the third time in a row.
I’ve been here about three years and I’m finally able to go home. Conquering all of Mordor was harder than it sounded. First I had to master my powers then I had to put my skills to the test.
I learned whatever I could so that in the upcoming battles I can use strategies that I’ve used here.
I was trying to tell Shelob my plan on how to get her out of here.
I explained it to her that she will have to go into my inventory. So when I close my inventory, and go back into the real world I can bring her with me and break this curse on her.
Once there she will be able to help me restore humanity.
Eventually it got through her head and I opened up my inventory.
“So general” said Bright as Shelob went into my inventory. “Now that we have a powerful ally what do you plan on doing with her.”
“I don’t know” I said honestly. “we have no idea if her future sightseeing powers will have effect in our world.
Bright just nodded his head in agreement as he appeared beside me and as I close the inventory. “if that is the case, then may I suggest her to be your guide. You have zero experience with leading besides the little strategy games you played. Having someone who knows the ins and outs of a monarch can be very helpful in the long run.”
Nodding my head in agreement I begin to feel a little buzz in my head as the sun hit my eyes.
I re-open my eyes and see that I have reawaken in the MLP world. The Gondorian guards looked at me for orders.
I opened my inventory and the guards didn’t even flinch. And came my 15 wolves and Shelob. I made sure to grab my Daedric armour and weapons so that I don’t get a spear run through me again.
As I walked out of my inventory and it closed behind me I noticed Shelob just stared at her surroundings.
“So this is what it’s like, to be outside” she said to no one in particular.
“Yes, it is quite beautiful, is it no” I said to her.
“Indeed it is” she continue to stand there and she just looked at the outside world.
We stood there to what it seem to be an hour and then she finally spoke. “I do not have my power to see in the future. I can only see glimpses, but there’s something you should know”
I looked at her, ready for her to answer.
“A human village is being attacked to the north.” It only took a few seconds… I look to the north which was to my left and saw smoke above the horizon.
“So what do you need” she says
I looked at her confused and she continued.
“I mean, I promise to help you if you get me out of there and I am a girl of my word.” I gave her a nod
Get into your best fighting form we’re leaving immediately.
Without hearing her reply I quickly dashed into the direction. Tree zoomed by me as I hurriedly made my way to the Village.
It didn’t take me long until I found where the fire was coming from.
A Village of humans was under attack by diamond dogs. They seem to be putting 42 people in cages while burning the houses to the ground.
I noticed the commander who is a diamond dog leading Adam and dog army of 100 to 150
Instantly bright, darkness and death appeared beside me. I could here Shelob behind me in her spider form.
Then something I didn’t expect. 100 Gondorian guards appeared behind me.
“We are all behind you, master.” Said Death. “This is how much you can summon, a maximum of the Gondorian guards.”
“whatever decision you make from now on, we will support it” said Darkness.
“If it is good or bad we will be right behind you” said Bright.
“I may not be able to give you my future seeing powers, but I will give you my strength” said Shelob in her spider form.
Hearing all of this put a smile to my face, as I realize that I’m not alone in this world.
“Then wait for my single” I say. My spirit friends, along with the entire Gondorian guard. disappear as I slowly walk forward. I put my Daedric armour in my inventory because I want to do this right, and quickly put on my vengeance gear.
(Third person POV)
as a diamond dogs sacked the village for loot he began to notice a human walking up to them.
“Boss” said the Diamond dog “you might wanna take a look at this”
As he said this many diamond dogs look into the direction that he was looking and snickered. Was this human suicidal they thought, but they didn’t realize that this was their demise.
“Human” one shouts “you are facing an army of diamond dogs and you were just one man”
The human had a grim look on his face as he replied “I am one… But we are many!“ his voice was like death itself raspy and echoey.
Just then 100 green armoured humans appeared behind him and marching alongside him.
The diamond dogs accepted the challenge knowing that they still outnumbered them and charge forward.
The humans kept a walking piece as they continued forward.
Now only being 5 m apart the leading human got into a stance with his sword.
The human got low to the ground like he was about to sprint. But then the unexpected happened.
The human charged forward while saying the words “Wuld, Nah, Kest” in a blink of an eye. Any dog in his path was cut down to shreds. Even if they were a metre away they were still cut down. In the end a total of 30 dogs were killed with one swing.
(Edward Smith POV)
Oh my god that was awesome. I always want to try that.
I stood triumphantly as I was grinning from ear to ear. As a finishing touch I equip my Daedric armour, and put my Daedric longsword on my shoulder.
My intimidating figure stun the dogs. The Gondorian guards halted in their tracks.
Making sure everyone’s eyes was on me I showed it to the heavens. “Is that the best that you can do!”
“No, It is Not” 8 foot diamond dog stepped in front of the crowd he must be the captain.
“I, Razor Fang! The strongest diamond dog in the ancient tribe.” He introduced himself
“My name is not important but you shall know me as the Human Lord!” I introduce myself.
He looks me up and down and says. “you strong warrior... honourable Fight.”
Everyone stood still as we got in our Battle stance. He had a 3 foot long mace that looks like it could tear a new asshole to anyone it comes bye.
I ready my longsword.
The area is quiet the only sound is the wind and the burning flames.
Razor then charged at me and I readied my stats. My feet dug into the ground as I waited for the right moment.
Razor bring his mace high in the sky ready to swing down.
As he is 1 foot in front of me and brings me down ready to bash in my head “Ready to Die!?” he shouts… I disappear in a blink of an eye. His mace strikes the ground I was just seconds ago.
With my speed I reappear behind him. I whisper into his ear and say “I don’t know are you?”
Before he could react I ran my long sword right through his chest barely hitting his heart.
he dropped the mise and had a look of other disbelief. I removed my longsword and he fell to his knees no longer able to hold himself up. “this, it?” He weekly says
I walk in front of him with my blade still dripping his blood. “Not yet” I say. He looks up at me confused.
Swear you’re loyalty to me and I shall save your life.
His eyes open in the realize, knowing that he can survive. “I swear, loyalty, to human Lord, not dog chief“ I nod and place my right hand on his head. My ring glows as I am not bending his will but showing him the right path, my power and my goals.
His irises glow light blue as I could see that he sees everything that I want to show him. His wound on the chest heals because of the rings power.
He stands up and looked me directly in the eye.
“Dogs, humans they all look the same”
The whole place just went silent as the no more intelligent than diamond dog known as Razor Fang.
“I Razor Fang swear loyalty to the Lord of humanity and the Lord of vengeance! I swear on this day I will be your shadow if anyone wants to get to you they will have to go through me!”
The whole crowd of humans and diamond dogs look confused.
“Now if you chums want to live I suggest that you start working for this guy. I’ve just seen with the boss man can do and oh boy do I not want to get caught up in that.”
The whole place just went silent but a smaller diamond dog took a few steps forward. May I look.
xxxxxxxxxx
The next hour is with me just showing the diamond dogs the right path, my power and my goals.
15 diamond dogs did not want to comply so to demonstrate my power I enslave them.
Unfortunately the village was mostly destroyed so I ordered the humans to get whatever they could and to follow me.
Somehow with the ring of power it gave the diamond dogs more intelligence.
Some seemed happy that they were smarter, some more upset that they were one of the dumbest creatures, but all was upset that the fact that they hurt innocent beings so that they could have something to eat.
In due time they will be forgiven but for now they must live with this guilt and sacrifice their life for my cause in order for that to happen.
I now have a total of 100 diamond dog warriors 30 human civilians 12 human warriors 15 slaved diamond dogs
After continuing the path to the cave, I could hear some commotion up ahead. And it wasn’t the good type of commotion. Fearing for the worst I sprinted up the path. I was horrified at what I saw.
I saw at least 200 diamond dog warriors surrounding all people. We were still off in the distance 100 m away so we weren’t spotted yet.
My four enslaved Diamond dogs were brutally murdered as they stood no chance against 200. All the humans are still alive just been tied up and put into a new carriage
My new enemy seem to be taunting my people. I could feel the darkness crawling on my back as I wanted to murder everyone of them.
I calm down, now is not the time to be thinking rationally. While they may have over 200 diamond dog warriors. we equal that in numbers not to mention half of us are skilled warriors that could take down at least five of them easily. I personally could probably take down half of them myself, if not all of them, without batting an eye.
but there’s one more advantage that we have, the element of surprise.
“Razor Fang” I look at him. He looked at me ready to follow my orders. “I have a plan and I need your help.”
“I’m your shadow boss, just give the word and I’ll pop some heads.” He smirked at me.
I reply with my own smirk and say. “Unfortunately you’re going to have to wait no head popping today”
he looks at me betrayed a little but nods his head. I went over the plan with everyone and we get into position.
(Samantha’s POV)
The diamond dogs are scary. They killed their own without even a thought. Where is my daddy when I need him.
They tied us up and put cloth over our mouth, to make us be quiet.
Bowman is trying to comfort me. but I just wanna lay down and cry. Just then I heard more noises to the… I believe Bowman said, right. Yeah right side of me.
About 20 more Diamond dogs showed up. Oh spirits where are they taking us. The big muscular one seems to be the leader of the group and he looks the most scary.
He talks to the leader of this group and then he looks to me and gives me a smile. The last time and dog that smile that me was planning to eat me… but his smile was kind… please blessed me spirits, to get through this.
Oh spirits he’s coming closer. I could hear his footsteps as if they were the sounds of Thunder. A ready myself in case he tried to hit me, eat me or even try to nasty things like they did to mommy.
I was now crying, just wanting all this to end.
Instead of feeling pain... I felt a... Rab. I open my eyes and look at him. He bends down and looks at me. He said his words that shocked me. “I hope you still have that book because, your father is going to want that book back.”
My eyes widen have the spirits answered my prayers.
Another Diamond dog taps him on the shoulder. “Boss say, no eating”
The big diamond dog smiles at him too but the smile is different. “Why would I want to eat my bosses daughter“ he says out loud.
The diamond dog seems confused. But me and the other humans knew what it means.
Just then the big diamond dog grabbed a stick with a spiky ball at the end and bash the other diamond dog in the face.
All of a sudden all of the time and dogs started to attack each other. Then diamond dogs would grab us and start running to the tree line. The big Diamond dog picked me up along with Bowman.
I was very confused at what was happening.
(Edward Smith’s POV)
Seeing our fellow diamond dogs running towards us I ready me and the 40 Gondorian guards. As they make it to ⅞ The way to the tree line, we rush out.
Using our agility and athletics we hop over the diamond dogs into the enemy diamond dogs that were hot on their tail.
I were two lines clashed but we were better. Just then arrows surge coming from left and right as the rest of the troops are firing long range weapons.
Being outmatched in front, and their flanks are overrun. They began to fall back.
They take a knee as they ready there crossbows. I grab the nearest dead body and use it for extra cover.
I felt 15 Bolts strike the dead body as they try to reload. Not wanting them to fire at me again I rushed them with the rest of my troops.
We incircle them quite easily. Somewhere during the fighting their leader died and the army was completely routed, as they try to escape.
Not wanting them to regroup we cut down as many as we could. It was a good five minutes of battle and blood. Maybe even a bit longer.
The adrenaline was rushing through me as I calmed myself down. We hardly took a casualty only three men getting injured and those are minor wounds.
I ordered the Gondorian guards to take care of the dead bodies and get them away from my side.
The diamond dogs and the humans were uneasy as they didn’t know if they could trust each other or not.
“Daddy!” A beautiful high-pitched voice rang through my ears. Even though I was gone for so long I still haven’t forgotten that voice.
A small toddler name Samantha rushed over to me and hooked my legs tightly.I only quit the rest of my gear and hugged her back.
We sat there for at least a good five minutes just in each other’s braces.
I’m glad that I wasn’t gone another day.
(A few hours later)
seeing everyone get acquainted with each other made me a little bit happier. It will be a long time until they can except each other but there is one more thing we have to do.
I stood in front of the cave and shouted unleashing force, “Fus, Ro, Dah!” Into the sky.
Everyone looked at me in disbelief of my power. I began to give them a speech.
Having on my regular clothes made it easier for them to trust me instead of my Diedrich. I could feel the spirits go over my body making me flashing colours of green, black and light blue. “My friends today marks a symbol for us”
The entire crowd looked at me in shock. Not expecting me to overlap my own voice.
“Today for the first time in humanity we have won! We should not stop here for our enemy will return with greater numbers!”
The crowd looked worried.
“But do not fear! After today we will become a kingdom... no an empire! All those who wish to deny our demands will be punished severely through a punishment ‘worse than death’!”
The humans look excited while the diamond dogs worried a little bit afraid of what I will do to them.
“But those who allow themselves to follow our path will be gifted with freedom! I will not only make a safe place for humans, but for all races!”
The entire crowd was excited ready to follow my orders to bring him to glory and victory.
I will no longer ignore the cries of help for I am the Lord of Darkness, Brightness, Death and humanity! Whoever follows me will have freedom for I..!”
I summoned the bright lord spear.
“Am!”
I raised it up high. ready to plant it in the ground.
“The Lord of vengeance!”
I stabbed the spear into the ground making the entire area shake as light blasted from the spear and shot into the sky.
It’s been a few hours and we finally made it to the Fort of the diamond dogs.
To my left are 100 Battle ready diamond dogs. To my right are the 100 skilled Gondorian guards. Behind me are 15 human Warriors ready to defend their people. We were able to make a few ladders to get us over the wall. We had eight ladders in total, four for each group. Besides the humans.
Upon a hill, to the left, watching over the battlefield are the rest of the humans. Shelob was also there to protect them.
In front of us was a stoner fort that probably had 300 if not 400 Diamond dog warriors.
Their leader Louie stand on a balcony overlooking the wall. He begins to give his speech Loud enough so that we could all hear. “Not fear Traitors! Abandon pack Leeds death! Show we will! Quick death we bring!”
Razor Took a few steps forward in front of his pack. “Brave words for a man who hides behind a wall. I say we see how brave this man is. when we terret down!” The diamond dogs cheered with Razors speech.
Luckily I was in my full Daedric armour making me look more intimidating. I raised my long sword up in the air and shouted the words with the echo voices of the other spirits. “Advance!”
our side charged forward but there are crossbow men and arteries on the walls pin us down The men began to use their shields and take a knee to not take any fire. Luckily I learned a new trick while training. Using the dark Lord’s powers I transformed myself into a mist like the Lich king and the wraith.
I flew up into the sky but as I did sell eight more mist popped out of me. ‘This is new‘ I thought to myself as I landed on top of the wall shocking the enemy.
The eight other mist like figures also landed on the wall away for me on each side and transformed into something I was unexpecting. Wraith’s!
They stood still and as the enemy came closer they struck without warning. If it wasn’t for my enhance speed I wouldn’t be able to see them as I did. “Shit, I knew I forgot something” i’m pretty sure death said.
I saw the sword swing to my face from my right side and I blocked it with ease without looking. Seeing the ugly son of a bitch who tried to stab me, shocked that I blocked his surprise attack Was currently pissing himself… literally I smell piss.
I slowly turned my head towards him. “You done fucked up.” I said slowly. I grabbed his arm and throw him off the edge hearing a crunch sound when he hits the bottom.
Seeing more of them come at me I Block and strike each and everyone of them. I can see darkness behind me covering me.
Finally the latter started striking the sides of the wall. Diamond dogs and Gondorian Warriors flung themselves onto the wall.
I jumped off the wall into a different crowd of diamond dog warriors. I landed on ones shoulder is using him as a boost to bounce myself up.
Using my spirits to jump even further up I got a pretty good view of the battlefield. Time slew down as I drew my bow. I unleashed 30 arrows all making their mark.
Before I fell down I noticed something strange. The diamond dog leader didn’t go back to his fortress to stay safe, but instead it was on the balcony looking frustrated.
Remembering one of my moves I aimed my Second last arrow at him and teleported beside him striking his back while unprepared.
He stumbled forward almost falling off the edge. He turned around and gave me a pissed off expression while launching himself at me.
His mouth wide open I grabbed it and flung him over top of me and cracking his back against the balcony.
I stepped on his stomach and blood poured out of his mouth. “H-How?” He said through the pain.
I’ve been down. “I am the Lord of vengeance.” I stated coldly. “But more importantly... I am the Lord of humanity” I said wow my helmet disappeared showing my human face.
I stood up as he tried to get away. “you slaughter humanity and A warrior was reborn.” I said well I brought my boot to his face. After hearing the crunch of his face and the splatter of blood on the stone finally made the battle stop.
(Three hours later)
And army of diamond dogs, former slaves and humans stood in front of me. There seem to be a very big tension as both sides were split apart to each side of the room.
I was sitting on this Chieftains chair while Samantha was sitting on my lap looking curiously at the crowd. I had removed my armour and equipped the vengeance armour
The eight Wraith’s haven’t left my side ever since I killed the diamond dog Chieftain and have been constantly watching my back.
Sheila is currently eating an apple and enjoying herself as she sits on a chair cross legged.
My wolves lay in front of me resting their heads and bodies but constantly on alert.
Razor was beside me mace in hand.
Currently I was processing information I received. The diamond dog that I just killed wasn’t leader of the entire clan. In order to find the leader known as the chieftain Lord I will have to conquer all that he owns.
Special characters: Shelob Bowman Razor Samantha Alpha and snowflake
While our numbers may be small I can work with this. “Greetings everyone, I am your new Lord. You shall know me by my five titles. The Lord of brightness, the Lord of darkness, the Lord of death, the Lord of vengeance, but my favourite the Lord of humanity. Now I know that you are all better of the past but I’m telling you now you must get over it. ‘tis the only way-”
“What do you mean get over it!?” A human with a rough beard and ragged clothes stood up in front of the crowd and shouted at me.
“I know it will be hard-“ I was interrupted again. hard! You have no idea do you!? I saw my family being slaughtered and eaten by these monsters!”
I knew I wouldn’t get anywhere with him, so I thought of a quick way which was a little risky but I know he won’t do it. I look to the nearest child diamond dog and walk to them. The young pup was being guarded by his father and mother who I assume and look at me fearfully.
I grabbed a young pup and their parents instantly started begging for me to let him go. The father even stood up and was ready to fight but the wraith’s stood in front of him faster than lightning and ready their weapons.
The father stand down but looked at his son fearfully, scared for his life.
The pup was crying and I quickly brought it to the man who stood up in front of the human crowd. I presented the pup in front of him and gave him a dagger.
He looked at me shocked and confused.
“Go ahead and kill the pup” I said shocking the room.If you kill this pup I won’t arrest you considering you have my permission.”
The man was shaking with The dagger in his hand unsure what to do. “Go ahead, become a monster like me” I said darkly.
He slowly raise the dagger up with it nearly falling out of his hands due to how much he was shaking. The room was completely in utterly silent unsure of what will happen.
“How will your daughter see you now” The room sounded like glass shattering.
The man was completely frozen and a few tears fell down his Face. “How would she react to her father killing an innocent pup just so that he can get revenge. How would she be able to look at you again without seeing a monster.”
The room was silent and the man looked down. The man began to notice the pup the pup was shaking and was scared for his life.
The man drop The dagger and fell to his knees. He began saying the words “I’m sorry sweetie, daddy sorry” I snap my fingers and appeared beside me a wrath. I ordered him to take the pup back to his family. I crouch down and placed a hand on the shoulder of the man. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes.
“I became the Lord of vengeance so that no one else will have to become a monster. I heard from a wise man once that “if we take the world as an eye for an eye, then the world will go blind.” The pain you feel and the revenge you want will only hurt others who have nothing to do with it. I too have lost someone very close to me by a man who I once called father. I know your pain but revenge is not the answer. My goal for this world is to make sure that everyone is happy and no one has regrets. Even if I must sacrifice my sanity to do so I will without hesitation.” I finished my speech and the man was speechless. I hugged him letting him know that it’s OK to cry. He did so in the room now knew why I did what I did. I know revenge will never be gone that’s why I took it up so that others do not have to.
I felt a small pair of arms wrapped behind me so I let go of the man and turned around. I noticed Samantha holding me tightly while crying. “Sweetie what’s wrong” I say to her.
She sniffles and finally answers “you’re not a monster daddy… (sniff...) you’re a hero.”
I had completely forgotten about her in the room. I have her tightly and whisper into her ear. “I know sweetie, I know“
(Three days later)
These past three days have been intense. The humans still don’t wanna work with the diamond dogs and the diamond dogs don’t wanna work for someone that can easily enslaving them with a snap of the fingers.
The army is in worse standards considering that were more like a mob of angry peasants than an army.
We have a shortage on the food, shitty armour and weaponry, no siege equipment, zero medication resources, The people could riot at any minute and the chieftain lord Will receive the news any day now of his settlement being captured… Could be worse.
I heard a frantic knock on my door. “Come in” I said. Razor stepped in having to lower his head to not hit the doorframe.
“Boss you might want to hear this” he said. I looked confused but nodded my head.
He stepped aside and a young human girl stepped in. She worn tattered Brown clothes with no shoes. She looked hesitant towards Razor before stepping past him.
She looked at me with shock sing that I was human. “Hello” she said in a meek voice.
“Greetings” I said cheerfully. “Is everything alright Citizen“
She looked at me confused and then razor spoke up. “actually boss, I found her outside of a cave”
I looked at him shocked then looked at her. She nodded her head and began to explain. “I just escaped an auction, then I ran into your friend, I thought I was a goner but he brought me here and.. I Just can’t believe it”
I have a small smile as I pat her on the shoulder. “Do not worry, for you are safe here, but tell me more of this auction“
She begins to think before saying”there’s a few hundred humans and dozens of different races come to buy them every day. My friend golden wing is a griffin who is also being sold by the auction. Please you have to rescue her.”
Her comment took me by surprise. Ivan piece to the balcony while whispering under my breath. “So there’s hope for peace after all.” I quickly turned to Razor. “Gather all the troops!” I yell. “our time is now“ he salutes me then runs off.
I turn to the girl one last time. “Will you guide us the way?” She shakes her head yes but I still see hesitation. “What do you plan to do?” she asked me.
I retreat to the balcony and lay my hands on the rail. I could see our Warriors getting ready for the fight.In one word I answered. “War”
In the middle of the night my army moved across the land. I decided to leave my Gondorian guards at my kingdom so that they would protect the populace. Also they’re glowing green kind of gives away the stealth mission.
With my 30 human warriors we followed Celia. She was The one to tell us about this place. everyone was quiet for the upcoming mission. The plan was to distract everyone to go to the entrance while the diamond dogs dig underneath an attack from within. Our group was to push them further into the cave while the diamond dogs take out their reinforcements. After that is all done we free the slaves, everyone of them.
Finally we saw the cave. We saw two guards and arrows quickly found their faces. We rushed up to the mouth of the cave while Celia waited in the back.
As I entered I saw a guard look at me directly. He was a pony and looks frightened. He seem to be an Anthro version of the original pony so at least I know what I’m dealing with. I quickly ran towards him grabbed his throat and threw him against the wall.
“Intruder” he shouted as it echo down the cave. I could hear guards coming inside the cave grab their weapons and rush towards us. He looked at me with a wicked smile and said “now all of you will have the full attention of black rock.”
I guess that’s the name of this place. I smiled back and said “good.“ The sound as his throat snapped and him falling to the ground echoed through the cave.
All of the human warriors got behind me as you could hear the marching footsteps come closer.
“Remember this day man!” I said to them. “This will be the day mankind begins a new!” Cheers were followed behind me.
Finally we could see the guards around the corner and charge at us with their full mite. I equipped in my armour and pulled out my sword like the way Kylo Ren did in Star Wars: force awakens. This frightened our enemy which slowed them down a bit.
As they got closer we begin to charge as well. The fate of humanity rest in my hand.
(Razor POV)
Me and the boys we’re just waiting until we can hear the screams of battle echo through the thin earth walls that we had created. Everyone of us had to be extremely quiet or else we would’ve been caught. Luckily for us it’s only been five minutes and no one said a peep.
Finally we could hear the echoes of battle. “Alright boys it’s time for The Calvary to arrive.” I quickly slams through the thin wall of earth shocking a few of the buyers. I quickly swung my hammer fracturing the skull of one of the buyers. He seem to be a middle-age old man Pegasus. Poor fool didn’t see it coming.
A few week guards came by but with both hammers in my hand I quickly squish their faces in.
Overall the battle is going great. I’m kind a like in this business the boss got me for me and my boys. He knows how to use our natural talent and I get a break in a few faces! What else could you want from a business!
Although the boss did say if anyone surrendered take them in. I guess I’m gonna have to kill them fast enough so that they don’t surrender.
(Edward POV)
In just a few minutes we had the small group trying to stop us running. It only took a few swords and spears to break to realize my armour was almost impenetrable to their weapons. My long sword slashed through any and all armour they had. So far I count zero casualties on our side. To think of it my mentor and she just cleaning up anyone who I left a live on the ground.
We could hear more fighting further down the cave. I look back at my man who barely have a scratch on them. I smile a bit and tell them. “I hope you have enough energy left because were about to run down into another horde”
They laugh a bit due to them not having to break a sweat and we start running.
I’m the first to make it to the main room of the cave and it is chaotic. Bodies are littered everywhere with only one or two dog casualties. I can see razor in the distance taking on five guys by himself and brutally killing them.
I walk to him anyone who got in my way was instantly put down. As I got to him I cut the head off of one behind before speaking. “Greetings Razor. have you managed to capture any prisoners?“
He finishes off the last one before telling me. “Not yet.“
I look at him baffled “Razor I gave you one job take as many survivors as you can”
He looked at me apologetically. “Sorry boss guess I got carried away.” I shook my head and disappointment and told him. “For the rest of the week you were not allowed to kill anyone. Only capture! Am I understood.”
He grumbled a bit before saying. “understood.”
I began to walk away but turned around. “You did excellent work here today Captain.” Then continue to walk away.
I could hear him in the distance yelling “I got promoted!” I chuckled to myself a bit. I Gotta make sure that he follows my orders but at the same time I have to congratulate him on his while doing of work. If I don’t he might end up like Bruz. They do share a lot of the same traits.
My men gather as many survivors as they can and bring them to the auction stage. I had in the back room looking for the cages. As they entered I could already smell blood. In front of me were hundreds of cages.
I have a promise to keep so I ignore everyone else for now as a few soldiers come in. “Men free the ones that look terribly ill and that are about to be on the verge of death. They need to be the ones to get most support.” My man nodded and got to work while some went to get more people.
I walked through the isles seeing ponies, griffins, humans and a few diamond dogs. But there were some rare ones like Minotaurs changelings and Buffalo.
Finally I saw a golden Griffin. She may be the one called golden wing if logic where to be on my side. But I saw another person in front of her. A golden brown griffin wearing a fancy suit and tie.
“Don’t worry honey, your dad got the key we’re going to get you some medical attention.” I walked over to him as he was talking to his daughter. He tried opening the door but the key snapped. He cursed to himself but then saw my hand reach for the door. Before he could say anything I ripped the door off its hinges and threw it aside. The man looked at me with all while the daughter looked at me with hope. “Are you golden wing” I ask her. She weakly nods her head. “Your friend Celia got me I’m here to rescue you.”
I noticed her wounds and begin to use some healing magic to bring her back to full health. The father notices what I’m doing and questions me. “What are you doing to my girl!?” He asked in freight.
I simply replied to him. “She needs desperate medical attention I’m using healing magic the healer.”
“Who are you?” he says with suspicion. I surely reply with. I am the lord of humanity. “Your daughter befriended a human so now I am saving her.”
He looked at me with shock as he said “you’re human?” My helmet becomes unequipped to answer his question.
He looked at me with shock and sympathy. I can only guess that he was also a slave trader. I’ll have to worry about it later as I’m finishing up healing Goldenwing.
I carry her down and give her to her father. I tell him to wait in the main room while I go to the auction room to look at our prisoners.
I slowly enter the room making sure every step sounded like an echo. As I rounded the corner I noticed that we had a little over 100 prisoners. Most likely 66% of the people that were here died as soon as the first wave begin.
I stood on the stage looking at them as they all sat in the auction seats. Their life was in my hands, now I have an option in front of me. Just like the French revolution had an option in front of them. I can set an example killing and enslaving all of these people. That will pass down to my man where only blood will follow its path. Or I could forgive and forget but that might alienate the people who have suffered underneath them.
I became the Lord of vengeance for A reason but I won’t let that control my actions.
“Listen up I’m only saying this once so listen!” I shouted at them. “You have all committed terrible crimes and you will be punished! If you are willing to comply your punishment will lessen! Refuse if you dare! Stand up if you will not cooperate on freeing humanity.”
A few smug noble looking ponies and griffins with a few diamond dogs stood up. I jumped down from the stage and walked up to a young gray mare with a bright red mane who had stood up. She had on a pair of workers clothes. The cute little thing was only 5 1/2 feet tall.
I was planning on killing her but she looked nervous like she had to do this. Every step I took made her more nervous. I quietly ask her. “Why aren’t you a cute young mare. It would be a shame to see your head roll on the ground. So I’ll be nice. Why did you stand up?” She looked terrified, flustered and look like to be on the verge of crying.
I guess she was trying to intimidate me by standing up tall which didn’t help her much. “As vice prime minister of Stalingrad.” she said on wobbly legs. “I must complete my order and nothing is allowed to get in my way.” I thought a moment about the name. There’s a country called Stalingrad and she’s wearing a pair of workers clothes… looks like communism is on the rise again.
“Very well” I say. I look at two of my man “you two bring her with us she may be useful.” She tried to protest but the two were just too strong for her and drag her away.
I was about to walk away before a nobleman griffin protested. “If you don’t release us a mediately I’ll make sure that all of The Griffin Empire hears about this.”
I stopped dead in my tracks and only looked at him by turning my head. “You should’ve stayed quiet.” I said. The darkness spread across my back and launched itself at his head chewing it off while his body fell to the floor in a matter of seconds. He wasn’t even given The time to react. “Anyone else” I said coldly.
I could hear many of them sit down without even looking at them. “Good” I said. “Here’s what’s going to happen. You will become citizens of my new kingdom, you will help us or you’ll die or become enslaved. If you give us useful information, you will be rewarded heavily for your actions. If you only wish to live like a regular citizen you must do 800 hours of community service for the crimes you have commit. Those hours will go towards building our new kingdom. During your community service you will be given food, freshwater and a place to stay. We will be taking all money that you have on you right now and you will have to earn it back. Will be using that money for war, so don’t get any ideas on trying to steal it back, or it will cost your head like the ‘Griffon.” I said neutrally. “Any questions?” They all shook their head no.
I nodded my head and told Half of my man to bring them back to the castle unhurt. The other half of my man search this place for valuables slaves and anything that can give us good information.
This hit may have been small for now but it’s a start.
“Hey boss” said razor as he approached. “I got you a present I don’t know if it’s good because I didn’t read it, but I think it is.” He threw a couple boxes over to me which I’ve easily caught.
I opened it up noticing hundreds of documents looking through them they seem to be buyers of slaves. It told me who they were, where they lived, what rank they were in society and how are they treated their slaves. He told me everything about that and I needed to know even family. “Merry Christmas to me” I responded. “Excellent work razor fang. Keep it up and I might promote you to general.”
His face lit up as he saluted. “I’ll make a proud boss” he said. He ran off looking for other stuff as I just kept looting the place.
After an hour of finding a ton of gold and two waggons to carry that gold we begin to head out.
it turns out the black rock is a part of an organization of slavers. There’s two other locations but since we got everyone here they most likely won’t know where we are. The other two locations are named black hole and black knight. They are some kind of black market and they don’t just sell human slaves but all different kinds of races. The slaves we freed gladly cooperated and were willing to help others that were like them. We even got a changeling on our side.
Before we left the cave I stopped in the main room. All of my men looked at me until the ground started glowing green. They noticed that I was the one doing this and were shocked when all of their fallen enemies started to rise. The only ones that left dead were the ones that have fallen on our side. They deserve a proper burial. My men were a bit freaked out by the walking zombies that were holding weapons but they followed my order to carry their comrades to their grave. As they walked out of the cave and buy zombies followed I can only realize how much I will have to do this.
Finally after making sure everything was good I began to walk home.
In an open field I stand with my man. It’s been a few months since we liberated the other humans. It took a while to get everyone a punishment they deserved. Some had very little to 400 hours of community service to 1200 hours of community service. There was one incident where we had to execute one due to his crimes being way too sickening.
In that time I was able to get new clothes for my people and teach them how to craft new weapons. Many parents after completing their community service asked if we could go find her kids and bring them here as well. I sent one parents off with a diamond dog bodyguard making sure that they came back. The other one was locked in jail until they arrived. These few months have been me constantly teaching how to live a better life for my people. Bowman was actually a wise teacher so I allowed him to run the school for the new kids. Unfortunately he’s not great and only knows the basics of human history.
Also the mare from Stalingrad finally spilled the beans and told us everything I wanted to know. We decided to keep her on lockdown until we figured out what we could do with her.
Finally now that the punishment was over it was time to get on with training. I look in front of me and look at the new Army that I must create.
Razor will be the captain of most of these men but I’m going to need more to keep it organized.
“All right man, it’s the beginning of the summer so now it is a perfect time to begin training” A bunch of groans is what I heard in response. “Hush!” I shout. “I want you all to separate into five different groups. These groups will have different skill sets tactics and rules in our army.”
I walk behind me to five different armour sets. The armour was the same for each of them but they all had their different classes. The defender, the savage, the crossbowmen, the hunter and the MP
Golden wing and her father were able to go home and he is a very powerful Noble in the Griffon empire. He send 1000 sets of armour with more on the way.
All of the armour look the same asides their weapons. I walk up to the first armour set. It had a spear with a shield. “This ladies and gentlemen is the material you need for the defender. If you wish to follow the rules of the defender you’ll have to put the lives of your brothers and sisters before your own. The shield can turn with ease and is pretty light allowing you to not only protect yourself along With your allies.” The shield and spear kind of look like the defender equipment in shadow of war. “Those of you who become a captain will have an iron shield instead of the wooden one.” I could see a few of my soldiers eyes light up.
The next armour set had no shield but instead had to axes replacing the weapon of the spear on its Hips along with two extra axis on its back. “This is the Savage” I proclaim “your duty is to make those who have done wrong to us pay. The axes are strong and can easily be thrown quite a distance. The captain of this one will be allowed chains on the ends of their axes allowing them to pull back their axes when they are thrown.” A few grains popped on a few faces.
I move onto the crossbowman. “Those who prefer range to kill their enemies instead of melee combat will prefer the crossbowman. You are meant to be the eyes and ears of the battlefield. Protect your allies on the field and they will prevent enemies coming to you. Those who become captain within the crossbowman ranks and you will be given ‘special’ arrows” I chuckled to myself a bit as I finish the sentence. A few chuckles were Heard along with me.
After they settle down I made my way to the hunter. The armour set had a throwing spear with three more throwable spears attached to the back. “If you wish to become a hunter your duty is to track, it is most likely that you will see combat more often than your brother The crossbowman, due to you having a shorter range with your Spears, But they will have a better impact on the battlefield, if used correctly. If you manage to become a captain I will teach you on taming deadly animals in this forest.” A few of my men look rather curious of the armour set.
Finally I approached the last armour set. It was equipped with a sword and a smaller shield compared to the defender. “This ladies and gentlemen is known as the MP which means military police. Very few of you will actually become an MP due to the process being hard work. Your focus is to make sure everyone follows rules in the army. If two soldiers are fighting, it’s your job to end it. There is a traitor among us, You hunt them down. If you become a captain of the MPs you will gain more information and knowledge of future plans than anyone else in the army.” A small handful started talking to each other wondering if it’s a good idea to become an MP.
“Now that you know your choices make them because in 20 minutes we train harder than you ever will in your life. Humanity is counting on you! The world is counting on you! do not disappoint!”
(Third person POV)
On the first day of training went horrible. Edward decided to separate each one to focus on individual strengths and weaknesses.
First he started with the defenders their goal was to not get pushed an inch of territory. The defenders laughed as they thought this would be easy but they didn’t realize he would use the strength of 10 regular soldiers. All of them failed.
Next he tried the savages. He wanted all of them to attack him in a fist fight. All they had to do was get one good hit on him. Meny would go home with black eyes and all of them failed.
Then he went on with the crossbowmen. All he wanted them to do was to hit a target 300 m away. Meny got close but none succeeded. Since this one was easier than the others they also had additional training. They would play a game of rock paper scissors while sitting down. The person who loses had to put a helmet on their head or else they would be killed. The person who won had to hit him on the head with a wooden hammer. It was a simple way to increase their reaction time.
After that he went on to help the hunters. They were all in the forest and all they had to do was hit him and they can go anywhere they want. He also had these advantages while he also changed his armour to the dark brotherhood. He would attack without warning and eventually all of them would fail.
Finally he worked with the MPs. All they had to do was spot the traitor. He used his Gondorin guards and would select one of them with a piece of paper saying I am the traitor. If the traitor gives him the paper everyone loses. They also don’t know where he is. After about three hours the traitor made its way over to Edward.
The sun was nearly gone and every party field they’re objectives. Edward was angry due to the fact he didn’t realize how far everyone was behind compared to every other army. In a war they will be destroyed. Edward had to think of another way for his men to get stronger.
Before the traitor could give him the piece of paper. “Trader!” Edward look to his left where he saw the changeling. The changeling was standing there proudly having caught the traitor Justin time.
Edward was dumbfounded. The only words he said was good job before leaving.
The next few days pretty much happened the exact same way. Only Green Moss, The changeling, was getting better and a few MPs were too.
Then something unexpected happen. When training with a defender. The defender didn’t fall on his ass like everyone but instead was still standing although he was pushed back a few feet.
By Day 20 everything started to change. Defenders can hold their ground. Savages could get a hit on him. Crossbowmen would hit their target. Hunters got smarter and surrounded him. And for the MPs the traitor was found in five minutes.
Edward realized he’s not the only one in this fight. Everyone here is going to do everything they can to win.
Day 40 they tried different tactics everyone pitching in ideas. Some have even become an expert with their weapons.
Day 68 and winter finally arrived. But that only made everyone fight harder, their Burning passion keeps them warm as they train.
Day 150 Winter is starting to pass and the small group of soldiers are now elite soldiers. Edward doesn’t know how but everyone did everything they could and gave it their all.
Iron shield, a male Earth pony that is the captain of 100 defenders. Razor, a male diamond dog that is the Captain of the 100 savages. Keen-eye, A female Griffin that is the captain of 75 crossbowmen. Arcane trickster, a male unicorn that is the captain of 75 hunters. Green Moss, a male changeling that is captain of 15 MPs.
This is the smallest army in this world. Edward would not have it any other way.
(Edward’s POV)
I look over the training yard and see my army at work. I smiled to myself, there is one last test before I can consider them my elite army.
I walked down the hill and meet up with my army. A few MPs noticed me and called for salute. As I make it down there everyone has stopped and saluted me. “At ease men! Today is your final test before we strike at those who would enslave us!” I was met with a cheer.
“Your final test!” I pull out a blue rubber ball “is to prevent me from reaching this!” Silence…
“OK, maybe you were expecting more but let me explain. Pretend this rubber ball is the key to your freedom. My job is to take it away from you. Now the question is will you be able to stop me at my full power?” The entire training Area was silent. Then Razor spoke up. “Of course we can boss, we’ve been training for five months now and all you want to do is stop you. I feel kind of insulted boss.”
I smirk at him, then toss him the rubber ball. “Place the ball on a pedestal and you’re not allowed to touch it afterwards, only I am. A single person touches it and I win. If I get tagged by any of your weapons you win.”
The army get in the place while I move 100 m away. As I look over the field I can see all my defenders lineup information. It’s obvious what they’re doing at the start. They want me to charge of directly at them so that in between the shields their crossbowmen and hunters well fire. Then the savages will flank around the defenders and encircle me. All right I’ll just plough straight through.
Instantly I ready a few shouts and magical spells to increase my speed. I do the same for my strength.
I ready in my running position before sprinting off breaking the sound barrier. As I get closer I noticed one thing that didn’t go exactly how I planned it. Instead of arrows and spears going through and over the shields. Instead they placed their shields over top of each other forming some kind of shield wall.
I still push through but then I heard something behind me. I turn my head slightly and I noticed dozens of arrows and Spears flying towards me. But wait where are the-suddenly I see dozens of savages jumping over the shields. They have me completely surrounded and I didn’t even realize it. Good job my elite army. Fus! Ro! Dah! I shouted in the native language of the dragons.
Instantly everyone was sent to flying The shield wall broke, the savages flew off, and the arrows and Spears were thrown away.
After the whole ordeal everyone was lying on the ground besides the hunters and crossbowman in the tree line, they were just befuddled. I guess they didn’t expect me to actually use my full power. I simply walked past the broken shield wall as I made my way to the podium where I saw the blue ball still standing on there.
“It seems that we are not done training yet” I scolded everyone as I saw my two captains lying on the ground with their men. “Maybe next time you’ll outsmart me.” I said in a cocky tone. I reached for the ball but suddenly a green flame circled it changing form into Green Moss. Time slows down as I noticed A similar pedestal with the blue ball on it a few hundred yards away. Green moss and shaved his sword and went straight for my head. I had a smile to my face as the sword Clint against my helmet.
My army moved through the nights as we learn the second location of the slave market known as black hole. Rumour has it that it’s a giant hole in the middle of the desert. We travelled for weeks but eventually we made it there the army having trained well.
With me I have five captains, 365 soldiers and an army of the undead counting to 257.
The defence is that a black hole were told to have over a thousand soldiers but up to 2000 slaves. If we were to hit this it could be big. Not big enough to be noticed by powerful countries but by slavers. They will Think twice before buying again.
Finally we made it. It wasn’t a hole in the ground but instead a hole in a Cliff. I send Keen-eye to scout ahead and giving us a good layout of the enemy position.
In a half an hour she came back and gave us everything that we needed.
There are two ways in. The top and the entrance. Apparently they built their place in the centre of a bunch of mountains. This hole was just the entrance and my suspicions were correct about my numbers. Instantly a plan started forming in my mind. This was going to be fun.
(third person POV)
The slaves chipped away at the mine. Their sole purpose was to dig up the diamonds in the area so that the organization May prosper. Sometimes the sleeves will be sent to Black rock to be auctioned but now they have to hold auctions here. They haven’t heard from there sister location Black knight in a long time.
Reports of the human army making their way two black hole sparked both hope and anxiousness. The leader of black hole believed everything was fine and that no army would ever dare going all the way to the desert just to save some property
He had laughed when he heard the human armies numbers was only in the hundreds. He stared off to his 1000 soldiers and his special slave.
Suddenly there was a movement near the entrance and everyone stopped. The leader thought for a second and he realized that he still hadn’t made any appointments today so no one should be coming.
The echos got louder as everything went silent. The leader now drenched in sweat realize that maybe he should’ve worried and prepared a better defence. Instantly he ordered all of his men to block the entrance, nothing was to get in!
Finally after 15 minutes of waiting alone figure finally came out of the darkness. One human wearing barely any armour. He mainly had a black shirt with black pants and black fingerless gloves.
The entire Area started to laugh besides the slaves who lost all hope.
One of the black hole guards walked up to the human and was about to strike him down when all of a sudden he felt his arm missing and the human vanished. No one saw the human even move as he cut off the guards arm and was now standing behind him. He smirked at the rest of them daring them to make a move.
A foolish soldier charged at the human hoping to strike him down fast. Before he even reached 5 feet three arrows pierced his back.
Everyone was shocked to see their comrade Fall. Every one of them looked around only to notice that the human was a distraction. Why you may ask… well... they were completely surrounded.
(Edwards POV)
The plan was simple. Have all of them come to the entrance waiting for me to arrive as I use magic to increase the sound of my feet. In the meantime the crossbowmen Will climb the mountain and sneak around the soldiers then Flank their rear. The hunters would be doing the same thing but due to their shorter range they will stick to the sides. The savages will climb up the mountain and tried straight to them. And finally The defenders will come behind me making no way in and no way out.
As soon as I was done thinking the defenders appeared behind me and formed a shield wall. The savages were charging down fast and when they crash into the enemy it would be devastating. The army of 1000 had three options.
1/3 of them charged rate into the shield wall trying to break it before the savages could come. This was Met with failure.
Another third of them charged at the crossbowmen and hunters. The army of the undead charged back and with the support of the arrows this also met in failure. The last third surrendered.
I looked up and noticed a house on the side of a cliff. I could see their leader inside practically pissing himself I just smiled and waved.
(Black hole leader POV)
How could this be… how could a simple army of A few hundred defeat a 1000. I have no choice, I must use the four headed dragon and crush them. Anyone who survives will be given 1000 whips, no 10,000. This human will pay for making himlook like a fool. He pressed a button on his desk hoping not to regret his actions later.
(Back to Edward)
My army cheered as the Battle was over and we have won this day. I was willing to join them but I felt like something was off. I sensed a dragon. Suddenly I could hear 4 similar roars echo throughout the hole. Before anyone could do anything the floor of the hole exploded as a gigantic beast flew out of it. A four headed dragon.
My man screamed at the terrifying sight, but my laughter calm them down. “Be still man” I said. “This beast is no match for me I will show you why they call me the Dragonborn.” The dragon seem to accept my challenge and charged right at me.
Realizing that I was going to need to be more prepared I equipped my Daedric armour and weaponry.
The beast roared as it got closer. With my speed and agility I jumped right over it as it smacked right into a wall right behind me. ‘interesting I thought four heads would make the beast intelligent enough to dodge such an easy obstacle.’
I ordered the soldiers to retreat and get everyone out for now. Slowly the dragon began to make its way out of the crater at had made into the Mountain. I realized such a beast to my arsenal would give me a huge advantage over all future wars. This time I was the one to charge at it first.
The beast roared a thundering cry as a charged. This time I went underneath as a slash that it’s open belly. Unfortunately it’s tail got me across the face as I was sent flying. As I got out of the hole my body had impacted I noticed the beast circling around charging straight for me.
I was unable to dodge as it crashed straight into the mountainside. I could feel my back heavily bruised but I was still good enough to fight. As it leaned back to see me and noticed I was alright, it launched a breath attack of flame from all four of its heads. Thank God my armour was enchanted or else I would be a crispy bacon right now.
I realize that I was going to need the support of the shouts in order to defeat this beast.As the flame still danced against my body I shouted out twice. Dragon aspect, elemental fury. Now with my defence and attack speed up I waited for the fire to dissipate before launching one of my strongest shout. “Fus, Ro Dah!”
The dragon was sent flying away and before he could recover I shouted dragonrend. Which proceeded to slam it to the ground.
I finished the cherry on top with marked for death and whirlwind sprint.
Now with it weekend and all of my strength added up I proceeded to strike. I bounced around the mine with ease as a struck the beast. Before even five seconds I have already striking the beast 47 times, Half of them very dangerous wounds.
Having enough I proceeded to finish this and landed straight onto the beasts chest. Allowing the darkness to come out I proceeded to hack away at the chest at lightning fast speeds. In three seconds I torn through most of its chest and bone and could see its heart. I raised my blade one last time and my strike was true.
After the battle I let out a sigh of relief.
All of a sudden the beast moved again but this time it wasn’t going anywhere. With my blade still stuck in its heart was still beating slowly dying. The best heart was bigger than my entire body constantly pumping out large gallons of blood.
I got off and walked over to one of its head. I stared into its eyes but to my surprise it was smiling at me. What shocked me further was when it spoke to me in perfect English.
“Thank you, brave hero, We are finally free.“ he said with a tear rolling down his face.
“You were a slave?” I asked. He replied with a simple yes. I see was about to die I thought of my next words. “I can save you, as long as you promise to fight for humanity.”
The dragon chuckled before coughing up a bit of blood in one of its mouths. “What do I get in return.” he said with a smile.
“Freedom, my right hand man, and the privilege of killing the one who did this to you.” I gave him my three offers.
“I deal with a human I never thought I would see the day. I wonder what else will surprise me in my second chance.” He said as he started to lose focus. Acting quickly I begin to reflect all the damage I have done to him on to myself. My sword flew out of his chest as the wound pushed it out. I felt my own heart gets stabbed along with several cuts around me.
I was now on the ground barely able to breathe as my heart was healing itself. Let me Tell you it’s pretty painful. I saw the dragon get up with new energy and looked over to a building that I had waved to earlier.
I saw someone inside before the dragon let out four fire breath weapon attack, disintegrating whoever was inside. The dragon then looks to me as he helped me get up with one of its claws.
“I never did get your name.” I stated. He only chuckled before answering. “My name is Talon, sir”
“Please just call me Edward, right hand. I don’t know if you will allow this and I will not force you but…”

Edwards army waited outside of the mountain range with the freed slaves. They heard the sounds of battle and screams come from the mountain until it all went silent. Again they heard the roar of flames before silence endured again.
Then out from the mountains came the large beast. Mini were ready to fight wondering what happened to their king, until they saw it.
Riding on top of the dragon back he stood with his longsword pointed to the sky.
“Victoria!” Their Lord cheered and so did they. Eventually the Lord spoke again.
“This is only the first step!” On cue over 600 undead raised from the Mountain. Along with over 300 mind controlled slaves. “We are ready for war! Our first objective is to take it down the kingdom of the diamond dogs! We will not stop until King Louis is dead! We will march like a horde ready to run golf there entire Kingdom! But for now we return home! We prepare! We ready ourselves! Then when the sun is at its hottest we shall make a river out of their blood!” The army cheered and applauded their king. “Advance!” The Lord shouted, pointing to Home.

(Edward’s POV)
It took awhile, but we finally made it home. Many were surprised to see a dragon now in our mitts which I can only reply in chuckles. With our army grown to a decent size I instantly began asking for volunteers to join the war effort I plan. I do plan to finish it fast enough so that anyone who wishes to join now won’t have to partake in it. But we’re still going to need replacements for the ones that might die.
But before I even knew it 700 had already volunteered. I began training of them immediately along with my other captains.
I was currently on my balcony which was previously owned by the other rulers of this City. For the life of me I couldn’t remember his name. I then heard footsteps behind me then slowly begin to run. I turned around just in time to catch my little girl. I squeezed her tightly and shocked her a bit. “How are you doing Samantha?” I said quietly before I could hear a whisper I heard a sniffle. Before I could reply she said “I missed you daddy.” I pulled her away to look her in the eyes, after wiping a small tear away. I gave her a comforting smile before putting her on the head. “Has Shelob been taking good care of you?” She quickly nodded her head. “Yeah, but I think she’s cheating when we were playing some games. She always knew what I was thinking” she said with the cutest pout. I laughed to her annoyance while patting her on the head. “Come now, let’s go find aunt Shelob to get this whole mess sorted out.” I picked her up with one hand allowing her to sit on my arm as I carried her to find Shelob.
Her two Wraith bodyguards stood on each side of us, Along with my four. Shelob had the other two. As I turn the corner I noticed alpha and Snowball playing with each other in the middle of the hallway. When they noticed me they stopped and began to walk beside me. I then placed Samantha on snowballs back allowing her to ride him.
Finally we made it to Shelob’s room. Before I even knocked she open the door and greeted me with a smile. “How may I help you Lord? Does this have something to do with the child from the other dimension?” She asked.
“Ha ha no we’re here because Samantha thinks…. Wait... what ...”
