Love at first sight:

Omega walked into the town, hood up and passing everypony by tipping his hood to them, they smiled back and went on their usual buisness. He then slowly walked up to a unicorn, flipped his hood and spoke up

"'Scuse me sir, who is the Alicorn of this town?"

"That'd be Atlantis Sir"

"And where is she?"

"Just down there sir" he pointed his hoof to a young Alicorn with an aqua blue coat, and a cyan and royal blue mane, she had a wave cutie mark. Omega was struck dumb, she was a beauty. He walked up to the stall Atlantis was standing at, and picked up an apple.

"A fresh apple? I am in heaven!" He said as he placed a bit in the shopkeepers hoof.

"This is one of the only places you can find them"

"Omega" he held out his hoof

"Atlantis" She said, as he picked up her hoof and kissed it, she blushed

"Charmed"

"How can I help you Omega?"

"I need to get to the Eldritch Temple, and I was hoping that YOU could help me" as he threw the apple into her hoofs

"Omega, I have a city to protect"

"Noctuid is still looking for alicorns, she thinks we're planning a coup"

"But what about all these ponies?"

"Atlantis, Noctuid is after you, if you stay here, you'll get caught and all these ponies will die anyway"

"You think you are going to end this?"

"My name means 'The beginning of the End' I am sure of it.."

"I'll take your word for it, Come on" And Atlantis galloped off to her house to get a saddle bag.

Omega waited on a hill overlooking Portshoof, as he saw Atlantis walking up to the hill, In tow she had a small saddle bag, containing most likely the bare essentials.

"You ready gorgeous?" Omega asked, she blushed

"Are you sure that your not just trying to get me and you alone Omega?"

"That, and I also need a beautiful companion on a big adventure, you fit the bill"

"I'm not sure your taking this seriously..." Atlantis frowned.

"Sweetheart please, I've been killed nearly twice, I've had to visit myself in the past to warn myself about the recent events, I've been forcibly dumped by my marefriend, my sisters were murdered, can I maybe release my wings?"

"You made your point, do you ever tell Anypony how it feels?"

"I need to pass off as strong to survive"

"You seem strong to me" She said, he smiled at her crystal blue eyes, she smiled back.

"Shall we be off then?"

"Where are we off to?"

"The far lands, I may need a boost in the magic department..."

"Why?"

"I had to regenerate my body after I 'Died', so I'm still shaky on magic"

"Okay Omega" And she charged her horn, Omega flared his, and placed his head on hers, she rested on his, and they rose into the air, charged with gold and blue lightning and disappeared.

Entry 47:

Atlantis and I have arrived about a fortnights travel to the far lands, I had to explain I physically couldn't muster enough magic to continue, so we travel by hoof. She is wonderful company, not only is she a beautiful Alicorn, but is also a smart one, and shows a lot of affection for her subjects.

When we travel, I tell her of how I've seen equestria crumble under noctuid's iron hoof, being a small town Alicorn, it really upset her since she didn't know any of what'd come to pass.

I've really taken a liking to her, and I hope my flirtatious first impression didn't scare her off, though I did see a few blushes cross her cheeks on multiple occasions.

We'll See

Omega

Entry 51:

We have set up a final camp just before a place i have been dreading to traverse. The Skelos Badlands... She tells me she has never been here, and I can understand why, being an Alicorn of the sea, she never goes to a place this barren, and molten...

Though there are ponies here, they are savage and feral, acting like primitive equines, and since there is no plant life here, they result to, cannibalism...

It's time to see if my offensive magic still works

Omega

Crossing the Badlands:

Omega and Atlantis stood at the border to the Skelos Badlands.

"You ready for this?" Omega asked the beautiful Alicorn.

"I'm scared" She said nervously

"Just stay close to me" he said as they began walking through the barren wasteland.

For a considerable amount of time, they encountered nothing, just a wasteland, hardly what was expected, Atlantis began to relax, and Omega took his wing off her, as it was comforting the somewhat nervous Alicorn.

"Nobody ever comes here, this place should be RICH in jewels!"

"So why aren't there any?" Snarled a Diamond Dog, Omega and Atlantis then approached the jewel addicted mongrels, and they turned and were surprised.

"Diamond Dogs?" Omega asked them

"And you are?" the leader asked defensively

"It's firestorm"

"You no firestorm! Firestorm Red, not black"

"It's a long story, what are you doing out here in Skelos?"

"What do you think? Stupid Alicorn" The mutt cackled, Omega flicked his nose and he began whimpering.

"Need I ask again?" Omega calmly asked, Atlantis then approached the Diamond Dogs.

"Omega, they're harmless, let's leave them to it"

"Okay Atlantis, let's go" he said, as he walked past the motley pack of mongrels.

"have you met them before Omega? Or do I call you Firestorm?"

"That was my name once, then I died, and came back to life as this"

"And how many times have you met these Diamond Dogs?"

"Once or twice, always being more a liability than an asset"

"I can't say anything, I've never met them" they kept on walking, unbeknownst to them, a small group of eyes were watching them. This small group then leapt out of their hiding place and began charging at the two alicorns.

"Aah more! MORE MEAT FOR ME!" The pony screamed as it raced towards Omega.

"Move Atlantis!" Omega yelled, as the pony leapt up and straight into Omega, and landed on top of the gold Alicorn, omega then pushed the body off and took out the blade that was lodged in the pony's barrel.

"Skelos Ponies..." Omega stated, as Atlantis sparked her horn, and a great deluge washed over the bone armoured ponies and knocked them back a few metres. Omega then lit up his horn, and rose up, and released a beam of golden energy, razing the ground where it struck, he then aimed at the group and fried them to a cinder, he then dispersed the power then landed next to Atlantis.

"That was impressive Omega, if that isn't strong..." She kissed his cheek "I don't know what is" She blushed a crimson red.

"Thank you Atlantis" He said, as he charged his horn a second time, Atlantis knew what to do, Resting her head on his, and lighting her horn, they rose up and disappeared once again.

They reappeared on the border of the Skelos badlands, and the Far lands. Omega was lying down, this jump was a big one, about two days walking was covered in this jump.

"You really didn't need me for that one Omega"

"I still don't trust my powers"

"Have more faith in yourself, your stronger than you seem" She said, as she leant down and nuzzled him.

"I'm still exhausted, Shall we continue at next light?"

"We go when you're ready" She said, as the sun began to set, she lay down next to him, Omega put some sticks together, and made a fire.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"I didn't realise day/night cycles were as normal"

"We have Illuminaté and Shadowcloak to thank for that"

"I see. It must be terrible to not have your sisters here Omega" She said solemnly as she rested into him.

"It is, but I cannot let that stop me, I have to avenge them and stop her" he said sadly.

"Who is at canterlot?"

"Hopefully, The elements of harmony, my brother and a few other Alicorns"

"Let's hope it's still under their control when we return" She said as she closed her eyes

"Night Atlantis"

"Goodnight Omega" And she fell asleep, he kissed her head and fell asleep too.

Entry 54:

Atlantis and I are coming ever closer to the Evertide Crypt, home of the firstborn Alicorn who made the Evertide Catalyser.

She questioned me on why I said it's the home, and not the final resting place of the firstborn, and I reminded her, we live forever.

From what the map says, it even gives me a warning, that Evertide is a powerful Alicorn, and made sure everypony knew it, so we've decided to expect an arrogant welcome...

Not exactly looking forward to this...

Omega

Entry 58:

We've settled again, near an ancient monolith, it doesn't exactly create a calming atmosphere. It always makes a low thrumming sound, and sparks off dark lightning occasionally.

Atlantis seems to think its a product of Noctuid's tainting of the landscape, by filling the aura with Chaos Residue, which I can draw from to use Destruction Magic. However it's one of the many monuments left behind in "The Fallen Wars". A grand scale war in which the Firstborns faced off against an impossibly powerful foe, funny, seems very similar to our problem...

Damn thing isn't half unsettling
