Indolia, the kingdom in the woods

Luna PoV

''AHHH for the love of Valeria! Just get the the halls already!" cried the wolf before a great ball of fire crushed him, burning him to death instantly.

I could only stood there with wide eyes, watching as the charred remains of the wolf crumble into ash. It happen so fast, he was fine only a second ago trying... with a start I galloped away from the ashes of the former Timberwolf and into the now burning city. I needed to get to my daughter and Moonlit. As I gallop deeper into the city, the sounds of battle echoed like brass bells masking the cracks of my thundering hooves, the monsters of the forest stormed pass me heading in the same diction Grimmnjor took us when we first arrived each barring exotic armaments many not even I knew the names of. The passing monsters and forest beasts told me nothing minus that whoever was attacking the city was indeed powerful. This must be what Sombra meant during our little skirmish, an attack on the city by his master to keep the beast of the wood from coming to our aid.

'' HOLD FAST! HOLD THEM MY CHILDREN" I heard the voice of Grimmnjor bellowing with cracks of metal on wood ringing, he then grunts struggling to hold something back " KEEP THEM FROM THE CITY!"

"FORWARD!!" I nearly tripped in mid gallop at the shout, it sounded like cousin Siren the Alicorn of the sea and patron of the Kelpie herds. " DAMN YOU ALL I SAID FORWARD!!."

'What's she doing here?' my mind quickly questioned, Siren was one of the more less confrontational Alicorns in the family or at least according to my limited knowledge yet I didn't have the time to ponder as the great halls came into sight and more importantly that witch Valeria was there with the fillies.. though they were not fillies anymore they have aged several years, Moonlit had grow wings and in size almost reaching my shoulders her dark hind had change colors instead of black with purple scales she was now light blue and lavender I had heard stories of Kirins changing their coat color once they reach maturity while my daughter grew into a great beauty, she looked every bit as I did when when I first became the Nightmare. She like Moonlit now reached my shoulders, twice the size she was this morning.

"Mother!" Nightmare called happily when she saw me approaching, she then leaves her companions and joins me at the foot of the steps before unexpectedly she nuzzled the side of my muzzle affectionately " I so was worried about you and Alkeyore when the attack first started'' she looks around for a movement " Where's Alkeyore?" she asked worriedly.

Nuzzling her back I started to tell what had happen in the garden but I was interrupted by both a magical blast striking not far from us and the witch.

" Alkeyore can take care of himself." Valeria said coldly looking in the diction the blast came from, closing her eyes and clenching her fist before opening them reveling the solid red orbs that were her eyes, an wicked harpoon appeared in her hand. I stared that weapon for a moment remembering a story that mother told me once about a magical harpoon that could negate any magical shield.. it was suppose to be lost, by the time I was born. She next throws it before flicking the whole of her arm back the harpoon returned to her hand painted by red " We need to focus on getting you three out of the forest, Kern and Nara had already left by the time the attack started.. Grimmnjor and our children won't be able to hold those Alicorns back for long... Moonlit?"

"Yes Mama?" said the Kirin revealing that her voice had change to one of silk. Yet there were somethings that didn't change, both her golden horns and the scars remained. Nightmare and I joined the two on the steps after there I saw the whole of the city and the massive battle taking place in it's shadow, true to Valeria's words the city was under attack by Alicorns, fortunately for us the majorly of the attacking Alicorns were minors in the pantheon but unfortunately like all battles between ponies and the natives, the beasts were vastly out numbered. They can't hold. Grimmnjor was wielding an oaken staff with amethyst crystals on the ends like Valeria he too had changed somewhat, he was dueling with several of the minor Alicorns.

''I need you to lead them though the old path behind the great hall'' said Valeria walking down the steps with her harpoon firmly in her grip, the door to the hall morphed into a dark tunnel made of darker tree limbs ''you'll know the one and once you reach the end of the path Luna should be able to teleport you far away"

''what about you Vale?'' asked the Kirin in a tone of sadness and understanding.

" Mama's going fishing" said Valeria vanishing in green light and reappearing at Grimmnjor's side her harpoon buried deeply in one of the Alicorns he was dueling with. With an bash of his arm, Grimmnjor sent the wounded Alicorn away before smashing it's head in with one of the ends of his staff before thrusting his palm into another Alicorn's barrel, spilling the life blood. Nightmare and me forced ourselves to look away from the battle, we couldn't watch our fellow Alicorns being killed in such ways, there was nothing to stop the beast or the old gods from doing the same to us with Alkeyore gone and I doubt that I could fight the both of Grimmnjor and Valeria for long especially with my daughter being here.

"Luna, Nightmare... follow me'' said the Kirin Moonlit, who just now stood before the dark tunnel. With a small nod we followed her into the tunnel, the sounds of the battle assaulted our ears amplified by the small space of the darken wood tunnel, neither of us spoke as we gallop down the tunnel's gloom oddly our hooves didn't made any sound as we galloped.

I didn't question it, seeing that it was beneficial to our escape if any of the other attacking Alicorns found their way into the tunnel then they wouldn't be able to track us thanks to the absence of the sound of thundering hooves. Yet I couldn't but help to worry for Moonlit, the people whom raised her were out there fighting and buying us time to escape, though I haven't known her for long nor had spoke with her often I fear for her, attacked by Gryphons and now the place she called home was under attack it didn't take a goddess to see that she was suffering the emotional turmoil that came with such events. Fates I did when mother and father disappeared. ''Moonlit.'' I said mid-gallop, breaking the spell of silence ''How much farther does the tunnel goes?'' it was a just question since it felt like we been down in the tunnel for far too long or that the Pegasus aspect in me making me to think that, Pegasi never like being on the ground for long especially being under it. That and there was Nightmare to think about while she has my memories she was still a foal... teenage foal but in Alicorn years she was still an new born.

''Not much further now..." she quickly replies keeping her eyes on the tunnel ahead, her breathing deeps as the claws on her hooves duged into the wooden floor leaving marks in the dark wood.

" Are you okay?'' I asked with a sympathetic tone in my voice.

'' I'm fine'' she huffed, '' The Alicorns were bound to find us, it's simply an fact of life in native controlled regions... we.. I was prepared.. '' her face fells as her galloping slows down till she grew still. I too crease my hooves, Nightmare looks to us gratefully for the momentarily stop before siting on her hunches to rest her legs, she was not use to such strains on the body since she was only a little filly this morning.

Sniffles escapes the Kirin '' I'm not okay, Grimm and Vale going to be sentence to Tartarus like the others and my forest my home is going to be erased.. I-

"Is that a light?" interrupted Nightmare her hoof pointing up head, following her hoof I too saw a ray of sunlight in one of the upper corners of the tunnel.

''Yes it is my daughter'' I told her with an warm smile then looking back at the sorrowful Kirin, placing an hoof on her shoulder " Moonlit, I know we haven't talked much and you don't like Alicorns but you can talk to me whenever you wish, I know what's it like to lose an mother."

''No promises'' said the kirin glumly but with a very small smile.

'At least she feeling a little bit better' my mind commented as my horn started to glow with the teleport spell. Yet before the coming white flash of the spell blinded me, I saw the tunnel change from dark wood to stone but more importantly I saw pale blue almost deathly blue pony staring at us from end of the tunnel with red on black eyes and long talons on it's hooves which was encased by ice.

the last thing I saw was it placing a hoof to it's fanged smile in an shushing motion.

POP

The Badlands
The "dungeons"

Chrysalis's pov

Fluttering my eyes a little before opening them slowly to take in my surroundings. A cold wet jail cell with the occasional rat or underground dweller scratching and moving around. Long forgotten and rotten bodies danging by once was a forehoof.

Well, that was what I would have preferred the familiarity of a cell that I could easily escape.... it wasn't the first time I was imprisoned after the first few cells you learn all the right places to push to open the secret entrance, but Spider would also know the same exact spots that would allow an escape. What meet me when I opened my eyes was the soft feeling of the big bed I was laying on. The "jail cell" was decorated with lavish furniture and big purple heavy drapes was hanging from the walls. My eyes traveled to what was hanging along the walls that was behind purple drapes. A emotion tank was seen beside the bed, glowing a dull pink thanks to the lust emotion stored within, proving further was this room no doubt was used for.

Row after row of all kinds of sexual items lingered the walls. It changed from all kind of things, from different types of clothes to dildos to other things I even didn't know the meaning of or couldn't even name .

I shuddered in the bed as I didn't want to think to much about this room, what kinds of kinky or sexual acts have been performed in the very bed I was resting on. Lady spider was known for her tastes in both ponies and Changelings many of the taste she herself was forced into by my mother.... I killed you mother yet you still find ways to ruin my and Razor's life.

I looked towards the big metal sturdy door right across from the bed. It had a small sliding window on it so that someling can open it and take a look inside. Many locks and sliding bolts I knew was seen on the other side. Then I looked up towards my horn and the magic damper ring sitting firmly on it, the ring was new one and very unlike the one I was drugged to with, of course they would change it as an Changeling Queen the most magical of the changeling race, my innate magic always made short work the damper rings it was one of the reasons why the slavers never manage to catch me . Sighing heavily as I laid my head down again on the fluffy heart shaped pillow.

'Confined to one's of Lady Spider's "love rooms" Just kill me now....' I though. if I get ever manage to narrowly make it out this and I know will, I always do... somehow. I'm going to kill Spider and take a nice long bath in order to forget this very unwanted experience of being in 'a love room.' Besides Lust energy gives me a terrible headache.

Then I heard a muffled female giggle followed by others and a male grunt from the other room. I flinched a little at the sound and my muzzle felled into a sadder expression. Again I gave an heavier sign and my wings buzzed slightly in protest.

'Sorry brother...'

Razorhoof have been taken to the other room and I have during my imprisonment here heard the female nobles taking the opportunity to have some fun with my bother due the oddly thin walls but that might of been deliberate on the designer's part and it just so happens that Spider was the one who designed ''Love rooms''. Even Lady Spider have saw it fit to visit Razorhoof and unfortunately she have been most vocal and told those around her how he felt and what she was doing in full detail... I shouldn't had surrender when Spider and the Sage-knights betrayed us and our clan... but they were going kill you please forgive me big brother...

''yet then again this doesn't compared what mother have done to him, I know he will be alright, Lady Spider can't do anything that mother didn't already do to him.'' my mind whispered darkly

it was sad but also somewhat comforting in a strange way knowing that Spider will fail in breaking him I though. my further thought was interrupted as I heard the tell signs of hoofsteps from down the corridor, several in fact. I didn't need to stain my ears to heard the loud boasting voices of males and female voices no doubt Spider's followers, as well as traitorous slut's voice.

'So she will have an audience this time when she have her way with Razorhoof.'' I snorted but again I couldn't but help to blame myself for cursing my brother to this fate if only I had the foresight to kill Spider when I had the chance '' It can't be more humiliating or so then what mother did to him. She rode him right in the middle of the throne room with most citizens watching and made him cum inside her, not that he had the choice but he had to do it to protect me from her, that sick monster that was once our mother. Later she would gather all of them again and show them the result of that session with laying a bunch of eggs onto the floor while him watching before beating me.'

Thinking back to that day I shuddered badly... that is was her when she was in a good mood....

'Most of that clutch was female and I know Razorhoof took a personal care of them and send most of them away from the clan so that they couldn't be used by the nobles or by Pupa. I wonder what have happened to them, are they well? Do they know about us? Razorhoof knows because I know he have kept contact with one of them at least. A cute nymph at the time named by him as Glory but that was years ago.'

Whispering an soft pray for the gods to look after the nymphs and my brother I then looked towards the door as the group of changelings didn't go past her door and towards Razorhoof but had stopped before hers. I panicked a little thinking that Lady Spider was coming after me and do something to me instead despite the many weeks I was trapped in this room Spider haven't came after me just taunting me about how easy it was to betray me her queen and her plans to turn the tables on the ponies by creating an pony slave trade with an number of the other clans before sacking The Blood Rose Cape the burial grounds of the ancient Changeling queens and then The City of Storms, Geinzah the Alicorn god of storms city both idea would spell the end of both High Clan Meridius one would led the ponies staight to our camps seeking their enslaved brethren and the other would cause for the other clans to turn on us. But as for me again then there wasn't much she could do to me that mother didn't ready did...pain wise.

I heard the many locks and bolts rattle and become unlocked and the heavy door sliding open revealing Lady Spider in all her "evil" glory. The dominatrix female changeling stepped into the room with a confident stride and her hoof licking followers spreading out behind her. "It's time o'mighty queen." said the dominatrix her Onyx dragon-skin leather boots tapping at the ground impatiently the whip hanging at her side was currently worshiped by a chained pony stallion.

"Time for what?" I said a little unsure. The words were vague as for the reason why she and her follow nobles came for me, they could mean that it was time for me to be forced to mate with an ling of Spider's choice; death or be sold to the Alicorns.

"Time for the ritual."

I couldn't help but give a little mental sigh of relief. So Lady Spider hadn't come to do any of the sexual natural to me. I was somewhat relieved because I heard from one of her minions that it would be a greater success for the ritual of the sacrifice was virgin to begin with.

'Also I want my first time and first clutch of eggs or live young if I'm lucky enough the birth of live young is said to be an blessing from the gods themselves, to be with my life mate. But you never know if they have found another clue or suggestion to counteract that part. I have seen the lustful gazes most of the stallions and a few mares have had when they where looking at me. The nobles want me that much is clear.

I flickered my tail in irritation thinking back to that and also the feeling when Lady Spider looked to confirmed that I was untouched if I was still queen then she wouldn't of dare to touch me in such way the SageKnights would of killed her on the spot. True equines don't have a hymen exactly but it is rather a feeling to an protective aura. Some may have a thin skin or slime layer that can be categorized as such as it is often around the cervix opening and therefore cannot be removed if not something have penetrated and pressed against that opening. Also looking at the inner walls around it and also at the fleshy cervix opening doctors and nurses can see if something have penetrated the marehood. Some go to great lengths with magic or salves recreate it so that the insides seems unused and fresh. Some dark magi even have a spell to create a hymen that some mammals have like human females that is most painful to break. And they could recreate that as many times they could so that the female victim knows that they are been raped and taken over and over again.

I blinked as my thoughts came back to the present as two guards stepped forward and took positions beside me and forced me on my hooves and out of the bed. I hissed at the two which cause for the two return the hiss. Then some more joined the other two and the group and myself followed Lady Spider as she took the lead and stepped out of the room and started to walk down the hall, I saw that my brother was also lead out in a similar fashion a little further down behind me from the other room. He looked a little tired but otherwise alright thank the gods.

I couldn't help but scrunch my muzzle a little at seeing my brother's dangling member under him, that have lipstick marks smeared all over it as well as mare juices. I even saw one of those marks in a ring around the base of his member. Evidence of what those tramps have made him do and have done to him. Then I saw three lesser noble female changelings exit the room behind him giggling. A mature mother and her two daughters in frilly big wide dresses and heavy makeup. Judging by the lipstick color it seems the mother was the one that have giving Razorhoof that base lipstick marking.

"Harlots." I whispered mt eyes narrow in anger. The guards didn't pay any heed as they made me move and follow after Lady Spider.

The journey went on for about what it seemed like ten minutes with the group traveling further down the lower levels of the camp. I saw Lady Spider take a several turns down the fungus lit path, that cast it's blue light glow across the walls and ground. Many crises crossed paths was seen during this walk.

We traveled to a recently dug out path and then entered a fairly sized square room. I saw Lady Spider still walking and headed into another room. my mind question the purpose of the new path, most paths in the lower levels often led to the hatchery and escape routes while some are mere passage ways for runners to reach the other levels with orders from the Queen.

This room was a big cave, fairly round in size and structure. Stalactites was seen hanging down from the ceiling. The place have been dug out and hollowed a little so that several steps have been carved into place and also wide paths circling it. It looked like an ancient Roaman anthony theater. Thousands of lit colored candles where placed everywhere around the room.

Down at the bottom of the room almost centered with the room I could make out a big circle drawn into the ground. Also a much smaller one beside it. I could make out lines and ancient text drawn onto the ground and in overlapping circles and figures connecting the two together. Also in a half circle behind and around the circles chanting changelings with hood covered robes was seen. From my limited knowledge of ancient texts I knew that something was very wrong.

The robed Changelings kept mumbling and chanting not daring to move.

O Deus tenebris
Daemon qui comportant aquas maris Rubri
Nos tibi nunc!
Invocatiónibus nostris tua virtute
Et dulcissimum pro victoriis
Cuius est mare sincerum atque Vobis
Et erit in pretio sanguinis pretio, ut oportet,
O exsurge jam daemonium de tenebris
Et hoc signum foederis!

I was brought before the small circle while Razorhoof was lead to the ground bleachers. I could clearly see the enchanted chains on the floor around the circle, no doubt meant to chain my hooves and keep me in place my mind idly wonder what was my chances to escaped and found little as long they have Razorhoof I couldn't disobey them. I saw one of the hood covered changelings with a pillow floating beside him come towards Lady Spider and bow.

"Here are the daggers my mistress." said the robed Changeling his face hidden in the darkness of the hood but I was still able to make out that he was an blue Changeling..... Clan Argyll, the changelings of wrath.

I took a look at the four daggers that was seen laying on the black pillow. They glowed faintly and seemed to such in the light around it. I had a sinking feeling about those things. They appeared to be Gari'loi daggers an largely forbidden type of weapon that if a Changeling or any other was caught with one they were instantly killed, the human gods said it as so. The guards finished clamping the chains around my legs and stepped aside as Lady Spider stepped forward with the black pillow floating in her magic beside her.

"So you plan to kill me now?" I said staring at the daggers, wondering how my captor managed to find such sacrilegious items. Lady Spider giggled.

"You wish dear Chrysalis. No these daggers are a crucial part of the ritual. I will insert them into the slits in the chains on your hooves and doing so will draw your blood as they pierce you. Then I will say the magic words and the ritual summoning will start."

Lady Spider walked around me slowly and with her magic floated each dagger in place, but she didn't insert them yet just allowing me to feel the tips of the blades as they float around me before taking one of the blades and licked it sensually then releasing to join it's brothers around me. "When that is done and your blood will power up the circle. If it haven't taken all of your blood to power it you will see us bringing the Forsaken into the world, the weapon that the gods themselves crafted for our race and it will materialize inside the big circle. When we have done so, we will bind it to our will and make a pact."

Lady Spider seem to lick her lips hungrily as she stopped right in front of me staring at my body and placed her hoof under my cheek to make me look at her. "After the ancient pact is done we will offer our generous gifts to it to seal the deal."

Lady Spider gestured with her hoof to the side and I could see tables overflowing with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, even different kinds of meat was seen no doubt all of it stolen from both High Clan Meridius and the Pony cravens, possibly some of that meat might be the pony traders or rather what was left of them. Also a little to the side from the table I could see Lady Spider's latest pests chained to some stockade and have their hind legs spread and pointed towards the big circle. She could hear the drugged ponies moan through their gags or simply looked round completely and utterly broken in mind only understanding of pleasure or pain and perhaps an mix of the two. I raised an eyebrow at that.

"Well it don't hurt to be prepared.'' the dominatrix changeling shrugged '' If it have the equipment maybe it have been lonely where it have been and would like to sate it's lust. You are also on the menu my dear Chrysalis. Think of it as a way to sweeten bargain if we offer it an virgin queen to have fun with then surly it would gladly help us destroy the Alicorns and more. Well if it have more towards the other gender or taste we will offer Razorhoof to it."

My eyes widen a little at that information. I knew that it was pointless to struggle or try to get free but I had to try anyway the chains raddled with each movement of my limbs. I imagined some big smelly tentacled horror descending down onto me and defiled my body that have had remained pure to offer to my Life Mate. Lady Spider giggled as she watched me struggle in my bounds. I hissed angrily at the traitorous wench when I failed to break the enchanted chains before Razorhoof met my eyes he shook his head sadly and I ceased my attempt to break free.. it was pointless really even if I could break the chains Spider's followers would just swarm me and held me down for the 'Forsaken.'

''You know my dear it shouldn't of been this way but where else we would find the blood of the ancients? you are the only pure blooded queen left in the world. And we must do what we must for the good of the clan and our race no matter what price we must pay, this is our only choice, we must summon the creature the god created themselves the weapon born to hunt Alicorns and their foul ponies. you should feel proud! The sacrifice you are making will save us and restore our people to our proper place as the lords and ladies of Avalon, isn't that the reason why you were born no? to save us? Aww, not do be like that now Chrissy as least your fulfilling you purpose in life! maybe you'll survive enough to be a breeder wouldn't you like that? To give it up for the rest of your life. Oh my that sounds like something I would do...mm I wonder how big he'll will be? oh I'm just so wet just thinking about it, hopefully it's painful.''

"Time to begin!" Lady Spider cried out joyfully and used her magic to push the daggers into the slits in the chains. I gave a gasp of pain as I felt the daggers pierced my hooves and blood starting to leak out. '' I hope that when it's done with you, it would allow me to taste your fruits as well.''

I saw my blood began to drip from the chains onto the floor and when it came into contact with the marking it started to glow and travel along the lines. The brighter the circle glowed the more I was beginning to feel weak as more of her blood was felt being sucked out by the daggers in a hungry manner and the lines becoming more brighter.

Now the whole big circle was glowing and it seem to be sucking all the light from the room. A wind was starting to pick out and blow towards the center of the big circle. Then shadows was seen being drawn towards it. Larger and larger the shadows was becoming and soon the middle of the circle was dark and have formed a big compact ball. A fog was then starting to come out from the compact darkness and spread around the room.

''Now for the words my mistress!'' cried one of the cloaked Changelings this one red.

At the red Changeling's call Lady Spider ripped open an scroll written in the blood of both alicorns and Humans then started to read from it.

O Forsaken one!
The Beast whose wrath is endless
Come to us in this hour of need!
Come and drown this false world in blood
Ancient one strike down those who mocked your rage
We offer you this young mare as payment
Come forth and do our bidding
ALTERNIS!!! I SUMMON THEE!!!!

The changeling in hooded robes still continue to chant while Lady Spider and her gathered audience watched from a safe distance on the bleachers around the cave. I had sunk down on her stomach as my strength have starting to leave me as it seems the daggers also was draining all of my innate magic as well as my blood.

''Is this how it will end...'' I was thinking nearly all of my strength spent yet my eyes refused to close, perhaps an side-effect of the daggers but still I was cursed to stay awake when my doom comes for me.

Then thunder like sounds was beginning to come from the ball of darkness in the middle of the circle. Lightning flashes was seen traveling inside it and lighting some part up now and then. Then a mighty thundering clap was heard before the big ball of darkness started to spread out and a shock wave was felt that snuffed out all the candles in the cave, leaving all in complete darkness.

"Quick light up your horns and get the candles burning again!" I heard her say. '' I want to see it!'' The order was followed and soon some light was back around the cave. But still in the middle of the big circle it was dark and the shadows was seen traveling and floating around it as if with an life of their own..

Then a silhouette started to form inside the shadows in the inky blackest I couldn't make out an form even with the enhanced night vision that Changelings are blessed with, the silhouette gave no clues as what was summoned, the shadows were always moving as if flames but there was something in the cloak of darkness. From out of the blackness an shadowed being step forward unheeding of the runes that wrote into the stone below, I shivered heavily from blood loss and the fact it seemed to be looking at my beaten form did not consoled me and then a dark masculine voice was heard from coming from the creature.

''Who summons me?'' It whispered.

'' twas I who summon thee, O ancient one'' said Lady spider bowing lowly to the shadowed being whose darkness was so dark light itself was drowned in the inky blackness '' I am Lady Spider of the Changelings and I had summoned you for one of the last pleasures in the world..... Vengeance! I offer you an pact of vengeance and for payment you can have this mare. Accept our pact then you can do anything to her... and I do mean anything. fuck her or eat her it matters not as the Alicorns are destroyed, every stallion mare and foal it matters not as long they are completely eliminated. ''

The shadowed looked at Lady Spider for what it felt like ages before looking at me it raised it's claw and lightly brushed my cheek. With an yelp of fear I closed my eyes and turn my head away whimpering uttering prays to the old human gods begging them to save me, save me and my brother. but as I felt it touch me I felt stronger, the coldness of the blood lost fading. my eyes open themselves in confusion before widening at what I saw the darkness faded away revealing an human whose eyes were of amber; his hair was dark as my short fur; he was dressed in dark silk with an long silver sash at his belly before dragging behind him. I felt my cheeks blush at his handsomeness and my heart went a flutter.

'' Do not fear me Chrysalis,'' said the human his dark voice melting into one that was kind ''your prays are not needed'' he's then looks to the gasping Lady spider, his kind eyes dark with rage ''And why I should hold you to a pact when I can simply take what I want'' the human laugh before ripping the chains away as if they made of cloth and throwing them on the traitorous slut crushing her right hind leg and both of her wings under their weight making an squishing much like her namesake would under hoof. ''the next time you do a demonic summoning use the proper runes and circles! EVEN THE LOWEST LEVELED IMP COULD EASILY BREAK THOUGH THAT EXCUSE OF AN BINDING PACT!!! ''

''Kill them!!!'' screamed Lady Spider in pure agony ''Kill them all!!''

With screeches of fear and rage Lady spider's followers and her co-conspirators launched themselves at the human while other attempted to escape only to find that the exits were blocked by boulders that were called for by the human who at the same time slaughter the cloaked changelings that dared to attack him, the fools the blasphemous bastards! had Spider poisoned the their minds so that they would bare the gods ill he torn them asunder by his magic and burned them in cursed flames, some he ripped their throats open with his fangs before devouring them. My savoir's blood lust was insatiable as he killed I could only feel glee in the slaying of my traitorous kin... my prayer were answered, the gods had returned. The one moment that all true Avalonians had waited for over two thousands had finally came to pass. The more cloaked changelings that attacked him the greener he was stained, the more he killed the hotter my cheeks and loins burned with desire... he was beautiful. No he was an artiest painting his masterpiece!

Then he stomped the ground causing spikes of shadow to erupt from it and impaled the survives creating more morbid pieces of art that freed my brother for his prison '' My Lord! I am Sir Razorhoof of High Clan Meridius! '' he called as he rammed his horn in another eye killing the traitor '' Allow me the honor of fighting at your side!''

''Granted! Sir Razorhoof! '' said the human ripping the foreleg off of an braved but foolish traitor and ate it before his eyes causing the traitor to faint at the fate of the leg then he turns to me and lifts me off of the rack and placed me on his back his touch healing the wounds in my hooves. I felt like that my face was about to burst a lite at the closeness he was allowing me with I could hear his oddly slow heartbeat... it was comforting much like laying in a patch of wild flowers, '' Chrysalis as it is indecent of me to know your name without giving my own.... I am Alkeyore Blood-raven, the human god of dark magic and outcasts.'' The old god then takes an deep breath before letting loose thousands of tiny flies which started to feast on the hordes of cloaked changelings yet strangely the flies dare not to harm me or my brother. Many the traitors had to summon changeling fire to protect themselves from the flies, which only severed to slow them down somewhat.

Alkeyore.... what a lovey name I racked my mind other the possible inner meanings of the deity's name, all Avalonian name has inner meaning to it such as mine Chrysalis... in ancient Avalonian it means warrior princess... Alkeyore, Alke- yore hmm old king? no that would be Bukyro......wait, Alkeyore is forsaken! his name means forsaken! Project Forsaken... Project Alkeyore?!?

The traitors, the ones still standing, seeing that Alkeyore weaken himself by carrying me attempted to rush him but lighting my horn I set the closest on fire with Changeling fire, the emblem flame taking a bit of revenge on them myself despite Alkeyore healing me and the fading coldness of blood lost I was still very weak I doubt I had it in me for another torrent of changeling fire. The smell of death and burnt flesh did me little favors yet it did felt good.

''Razorhoof to me! we're leaving! I sense thousands more coming for our heads!'' Alkeyore orders while breathing more of his own blacken flames to the my green while strengthening my blood flow trying to replace what was used to summon the dark human.

Razorhoof ignores the call for the favor of cutting down more of our tormentors, slaying the family of female Changeling nobles from the love chamber giving what those sluts deserved after daring to touch my brother.

''Razorhoof!'' I called tears and rage filling my eyes as one of the traitors cut off out his wings '' byori! byori!''

''Chissy! GET OUT OF HERE I"LL HOLD THEM OFF!'' Razorhoof snarls casting an shape spell taking the form of a bear, his massive paws crushing the much weaker drones. Before using the bulk of he new form to batter cloaked Changelings away.

''NO NOT WITH OUT YOU BIG BROTHER!! BYORI!! '' I screamed as an spear impale itself into one of Razorhoof's legs.

''Lord Alkeyore get my sister out of here!!! Take her somewhere safe! I'll find you again Chissy I promise no matter how far you go I will find you again Sister! '' said Razorhoof before burning the spear away with changeling fire and then charges headlong into the coming horde, thousands of Clan Argyll fighters poured into the cave, somehow they manage to cut though the boulders blocking the exits'' LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!!! he roars.

'' As you wish Sir Razorhoof,'' said Alkeyore nodding in respect '' I'll make your wish come true... ''

''BYOOOORRRRRRIIIII!!!! I cried as the cave and more importantly Razorhoof vanished into shadow and the heart of the bad land sun beat down on my dark skin. I leaped off of Alkeyore's back and started digging with my weaken hooves calling him calling for my brother while the sand grew wet with tears and blood from my wounds. ''RAZOR!!!!'' I-I never been without my brother... he was always there for me even when mother went mad.

''Chrysalis we can't stay here, we need to go now'' said Alkeyore once more taken my weeping form in his arms and placing me on his back again '' There will be time for mourning but now is not the time.''

I choke back an sob, he was right Clan Argyll was right under us, it won't take them long to dig their way out especially with those numbers. I tried to tell him that but I couldn't form the words.. so tired.

I was so tired.. a nap sounded so lovey about now....

Equestrian Outpost
Luna's PoV

POP

Blinking my eyes wildly, the image of the strange pony in the tunnel disappeared into what seem to be the mess hall of one of the royal guard outposts scattered throughout Equestria, specify one of mine, Bat pony mares and other pony breeds in purple armor surrounded us paused in mid-chew before the mares leap from their chairs standing at attention. The numbers on their armor, the rose and crescent moon banner on the walls instantly told me the we were in the home of the Silver-horn battalion which sat just thirdly miles south of Ponyville. The Silver-horn battalion were just one of the five branches of my war-maidens and was commanded by Sister-captain Lightning Dust of Fort Luna, the northern most Equestrian town and most heavily defended fornication in all of northern Equestria.

Both Nightmare and Moonlit looked at the war maidens warily but for different reasons, Nightmare out of recognition of the ancient group of mares who severed as my companions so long ago while for Moonlit it was out of understandable fear with her being from the Everfree and raised by 'natives' she was taught to fear and to fight ponies.

"P-Princess Luna!" said the light blue captain in shock, quickly saluting and comically had a trail of hay sauce tailing downwards from her lips, Nightmare giggled slightly at the captains' state while Moonlit tried to hid herself from the wandering eyes of so many ponies by trying to find among my legs but to none of the veil the battalion indeed saw her, the poor thing I think the only reason why hse didn't did the same when I first spoke to her was because of Alkeyore. And of course they saw Nightmare too. Yet for now it seems that none of them were going to question me having to teenage fillies in my keeping despite one of them looking like the monster that took me away from them a thousand years ago perhaps they believed that I had brought them new recruits for the war maiden order like I had done a few times before over that last few years.

The sister-captain started to ramble, telling me everything that had happen since I left with Alkeyore only a few months ago. The meeting of the herd heads; reports of moment along our northern borders; the disappearance of Changeling raiders, but importantly the return of Sleipnir and him going to the north as well. Celestia and Discord returning to Canterlot empty hoofed after looking for me for weeks. Had I really been gone for that long?

Alkeyore.... you save me now it's my turn.

Raising my hoof, the captain ceased her prattling and the rest of the battalion took their eyes from the fillies, all of them following my hoof waiting for me to speak for the first time since we found ourselves in their outpost. We can't stay here, as I trust my war maidens and their very long time service to me, I wouldn't place it above Sleipnir or Celestia to had placed their spies in my order. Besides those bugs have my Alkeyore...an idea enters my head, one that was dangerous yet befitting of my ancient companions.

" Captain I thank you for your update on the situation at hoof but." I tailed off, with a small yet hidden knowing smile, if I ask it of them, the war maidens would even stare down the fiercest dragons and dual the Windigos themselves. Nightmare also shared the same hidden smile, as she proved back in Dust's realm she knew much more that an mere filly, " I have very important something to ask of you, my maidens of war."

"Anything my Princess," said the captain standing proudly, her captains' armor gleaming from the light of sun pouring in from the windows. The whole attention of the battalion was looking to me, seeing that all the ponies were now ignoring her Moonlit slip away from my legs still very warily of all the other ponies but Nightmare went to see to her in order keep her calm. It was a start, Moonlit need to get use to being round her pony kin.

''War Maidens!'' I called in a what I hope was an powerful and commanding tone after it had been a thousand years since I last led troops, " I ask you to join me in what shall be our greatest and most dangerous mission yet. Equestria herself is threaten! This mission is one of rescue, an very powerful and important friend to the Lunar crown was been taken from us." gasps escapes the gather mares at hearing the sheer importance of the mission and at the chance to join me in it just like their fore-mothers did so long ago. " He was taken from me by foul Changeling magics, Yes we shall battle the Changelings, I plan on invading the Badlands itself in order to get him back. Should we fail or allow for the Changelings to claim my dear friend then Equestria will face a foe like no other."

"Princess, who is this stallion?" asked the captain

" He is no mere stallion,'' I said with a small giggle, " he is a king who had stolen my hear-" my hoof slams into my mouth sealing it and my eyes widen in horror at what I just let slip out. Why did I just said that?

The whole of the battalion let loose an ear splinting joyous squee, one that threaten bust even my divine eardrums. The horde of mares charged at me to give their congratulations and the promises of never ending support in my newly discovered courtship. Poor Nightmare and Moonlit had their hoofs holding their unfortunate heads but with an quickly spell I reversed any damage to their hearing.

"Finally got yourself an mate? about time your highness." said the captain with rosy cheeks. She then scrapped her hoof on the floor a little timidly. " I guess that... we should. erm get rid of that group of a hundred and ten suitors we been building up.. "

"What!?" I squeaked in shock " how man-

"Aww I really hoped that Kelpie stallion was the one'' commented one of the mares before shaving an giggle with what seemed to be her group of friends.

"Okay girls, you head the Princess " said the Captain ignoring my shock and giving her underlings an slight commanding glare" 'Operation Rescue The Coltfriend' is a go." suddenly one of Lightening's eyes look behind me and go wide "Uh oh"

"uh oh" I asked in confusion

"Luna?" went a very familiar voice, one that made the whole of my being to go rigid. slowing turning my head, I found the white form of my sister standing there in the doorway with Twilight and her friends each staring at me and the two fillies in my keeping in various states of shock.

"Luna!?!" said my sister with her sorrowful expression lighting up to one of happiness.

"H-"' I swallowed the lump forming in my throat '"Hello Celestia.."

The Free States
Somewhere in Coltland

Imorati stared down at the town below from the height of the wall, the ponies below had yet to see him or those that were with him thanks to the blinding light of the sun and the gently falling snow. He stood there waiting for the rest of his unit to climb over the wall, making sure that they could safely across it before the enemy cover discover them or the operation that was taking place under their noses.

''Good King'' he whispers to the golden Alicorn standing at the wall with him," are you sure that you wish to join us in this?"

"Yes Imorati,'' said King Sleipnir in his honeyed voice " this operation need my guidance if it to succeed, theses traitors to our kind have powerful magics thanks to their worship of the Windigos, you'll need us to counter it. '' he pauses for a moment his one good eye narrowing as it followed a group of high priests dragging a screaming young mother and her foal to the frozen sacrificial alter. Sleipnir grits his teeth at seeing that none of the town-ponies bothering to help the unicorn mare, no they just smile maniacally instead '' it appear that we should move ahead of schedule, Shining Armor take right. Hel left and you'll support me in the center Imorati "

The two aforementioned Alicorns nodded and quickly took their Imperial pegasi legionaries and crystal heavy guards to their respective places, silently wining their crossbows and keeping the light on their horns to an minimal. While Imorati and his hoof picked guards remained with the Alicorn King, each group steadily watched for him to give the signal. Watching the traitors gather round the alter in order to watch the high priests' bloodletting, Sleipnir's horn lights itself in his golden aura before shooting an magical blast in the early morning sun. The thuds of crossbow blots follow suite burying themselves in the throats of the high priest and high pressurized magic bolts thorn into the crowd of windigo worshipers, catching them by surprise which allowed for the mother to take her foal and gallop away to safely.

Seeing that they were under attacked the town ponies left the dead and dying where the felled and quickly scrambled for cover, returning fire with hellice the black ice sailed though the air towards the walls but it was quickly reflected back at them by a pink magical shield. Out of the houses bursts fanged monstrosities whose limbs were encased with ice and wore flayed pony skin capes, the creatures look at Alicorn forces hungrily before with mighty jumps they start scaling the walls like spiders with snapping jaws.

"ICE THRALLS!" shouts one of the crystal heavy guards.

Hel leap up into the air from her placement on the walls and started throwing magical spears at the thralls or more specially their hands and hoofed feet pining them to the very wall the town ponies built to protect them from intruders. it wasn't before long that the unpinned thralls and the town ponies started to cast their own spells. Beams of whites and blues pierced though the pink shield with alarming accuracy allowing for the thralls magics to craft the ice of the wall into attacking the ponies at the top, pikes of ice dug into the heavy tall shields of the heavy crystal guards which in turn open the guard's defenses just enough for stay beams of magic rip into the weaker points of the their armor. Seeing this the Imperial pegasi legionaries like the hellish Alicorn mare took to the skies and recalibrated their crossbows in order to shoot more effectively while other legionaries who were equipped with lances dived at both the thralls and the townponies, before quickly flying away to make another run at the the traitors.

" The battle seems to going well'' commented Imorati with some uneasy, he knew the old stories of the Windigos and their followers. While the Windigos themselves had yet find their way to Avalon, thanks to the ever twisting and monster invested seas, their followers were still every much a grave threat, like the Changeling scourge the windigo worshipers could hid in plain slight and none would be the wiser especially if and when ponies start disappearing in the snows of the north. He grits his teeth as Lady Hel spears slammed into another crawling ice thrall pinning it down for the halberds of the crystal guard snatched it from the wall leaving it's limbs still pinned to the ice of the wall before letting it slide off and fall to the frozen ground below screaming like a new born foal, " I don't like this Good King."

"Ah, you are right to feel an such of a way Imorati.'' said King Sleipnir in a calm tone, his one good eye watching the battle very closely " Yet this farce shall end momentarily."

"What you do mean my king?" asked Imorati before quickly adding " That is if it pleases you."

"Have you noticed that this is only but an fraction of the whole of the town's population? or the fact that we have yet to bare witness to the Sabers of Twilight and Frost Giants? or perhaps you missed the corrupted Alicorn flying straight toward us from the north west with a host of other windigo touched creatures hmm?

As soon the word left the king's lip, an corrupted green on white Alicorn landed on the wall crushing a very unlucky crystal pony under it's ice encrusted hooves, it's dark sunken eyes moving about the other ponies on the wall and open it's mouth flashing it's rotting yellow fangs at them. It wizes out an long suffering sigh before starting to lick the dead pony beneath it with a long barred bloodied tongue.

"Perhaps I shall inspect the mare's camp, they been slacking off... again" said King Sleipnir with a hungry look before turning his head towards the windigo touched Alicorn " didn't I already killed you?"

The corrupted Alicorn ceased it's licking of the pony corpse and hissed at the Alicorn King before leaping into the air with its frozen hooves spread wide as if it planing to grab the golden Alicorn, Sleipnir scoffed at the green and white Alicorn. He clapped his fore hooves twice and the corrupted Alicorn starts to fidget in place finding that somehow it was frozen in midair then the golden Alicorn's horn glowed with ghostly magics.

" I expected... something more from you Windigo ." said Sleipnir as an gate to Tartarus opened beneath the windigo controlled Alicorn, hooked chains warped themselves around it's limbs before dragging the struggling creature down to the fires of Tartarus. " Please send Delos and Roctar my regards before you melt to death."

Once the last bits of the corrupted Alicorn disappeared into the portal, Imorati looked towards his god checking him for any injuries yet found none " So that was a windigo touched Alicorn, it didn't seem to...''

"Imorati, " Interrupted King Sleipnir his one eye glaring at the imperial leader " The reason why it went down so easily was that it was just an newly born, thus it lack the mind and power of fully awaken corrupted Alicorn if it was one of those then it could of been an threat to us true Alicorns. But if it was indeed an Windigo then we might of had to abandon the field since Windigos are immune to Alicornian magics." Sleipnir pause to judge the way the battle was turning for the others, what he saw lighten his mood slightly Shining was holding his own very well round the young white Alicorn stallion laid many dead Ice thralls and somehow the unicorn mare and her colt mange to hid them self in the safety of his legs " Nevertheless we have a battle to finish."
