Chapter 12: Move Out

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Canterlot City.

The early morning sun came up from upon the mountains in the north, shining its light on the world and the city. Carved on the side of Canterlot Mountain, it is a shining example of the ingenuities of ponykind, and what I can do. Tall white buildings dot the capital city, some even edged on the side of the mountain. Waterfalls and rivers run through the city as a source of drinking water for the ponies. The city itself is so magnificent that only the Nobility lived in the city itself. Ivory towers with golden spires dotted Canterlot Castle, where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna live. The city was built after the Nightmare Rebellion as a new capital city for the ponies after the destruction of Everfree City during the final hours of Nightmare Moon. The battle within was so furious that the magical fallout it produces was harmful to the environment and its citizens. Luckily, the ponies of the city made it out alive with the help of Princess Celestia. After the battle, the city was devastated beyond repair. Princess Celestia had decided to make another city. Some would say that anyone that would look upon it would probably be blinded by its seer majesty.

But that was in an age long past.

When the Fall began, it was overrun by the caribou and a king named Dainn, a misogynistic species that believes that females should be nothing but toys to be used and ruled by males. The Princesses were powerless to stop him and his horde as they pillaged and raped anything in its path. Even the nobility surrendered to them. Gone was the once pristine city; now replaced with the banners of the caribou and soldiers that now walk the streets. Stores that once sold wares like fine china and decorations for holidays now sell sex objects to the caribou and their slaves. BDSM outfits, sex tools like crops, and handcuffs replaced the normal wares in stores. Some of the nobility, like Fancy pants, walked their slaves in the morning by making them walk on all fours. One of the noble stallions stopped his mare by the park. The mare was confused until the stallion unzipped his pants and proceeded to fuck his slave. A few passers actually cheered for the stallion as he continued to ravished her. The mare herself was in pure bliss as she got raped by her master; even going so far as to move her hips in motion with his dick. A store sold mares that have lost their minds and act like animals, as indicated by the purple collars they wear. One of them was currently sucking a caribou’s dick while in a small cage. Another one was sucking one of her tits while she put her finger in her clit, pulling it in and out.

Past the noble city, Canterlot Castle stood, its once pride aura now turned menacing. Banners of the caribou fluttered in the wind while the entire castle was repainting in red. Inside the castle itself, the main hall is guarded by caribou and stallion guards on each side of the hall. The armor the stallions worn were similar to the royal guards, with the main color of the armor red instead of gold. A few slaves were cleaning the places, while earning some looks of lust from the guards.

The door burst open as a scrawny looking caribou with a bright blue business suit scurried down the hall with all haste. "Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear!" He repeated those words as he ran. He reaches the main door that lead to the throne room. One side of the door is painted white with a sun on top, while the other one is dark purple with stars scattered all over the place, along with a moon depicted on it. A couple of elite caribou guards stood guard, their golden armor and purple capes signifying their position as the King's Royal Guards. A couple of slaves were sucking off the guard’s dicks.

The guards followed the eyes of the scrawny caribou as they blocked his path. "State your business." One of them said.

The caribou stooped in his tracks and looked at them with a stern expression. "I have business with the king. It’s of the up most importance."

"His majesty is currently busy with his whores." The other guard said. "Unless this matter is important, then-"

"IT IS IMPORTANT!!" The caribou yelled. "IT COULD MEAN THE VERY FATE OF OUR OWN EMPIRE!" He weaved through the guards and opened the door to the throne room. "YOUR HIGHNESS! YOUR HIGHNESS!"

The throne room was impressive in an outsider’s perspective. Golden curtains hung over the windows, hiding the bright light from the morning sun. On the windows themselves were the mural pictures of the ponies during the "Reign of Bitches", chronicling their reign of terror on males before King Dainn stepped in and overthrew them. One of the pictures had the so-called "Heroes of Equestria" save the day from Discord, a god of chaos. A red velvet carpet extended to the throne itself, along with two guards standing next to it.

Siting on the throne itself, is a big caribou with a golden crown on his head. The scrawny caribou couldn't help but stare in awe at the site of his majesty. Granted, he had seen him a lot of time, since he is the royal advisor for the great god king, but he still couldn't get over the site of his great king. His muscles bulged out like a flower ready to burst. His dark hair complimented his crown that he wore. His brown hooves polished with glistened light. His bright blue eyes were glued to the current bitch, Princess Celestia, as he fucked her in the ass. The once goddess had white fur that shined in the sunlight. Her hair and mane, once had streams of rainbows that flowed in a nonexistent wind, now turned pink. Her body was so well toned that many of a caribou would give us a body part to fuck her. Her big breast jiggled back and forth with each thrust that he made. Her ass, from what he had been told from the king, was as soft as a pillow for his great dick. She had a blissful smile on her, giggling with every thrust the king made. The sounds of slapping from flesh echoed across the room. Her collar, unlike the ones used on mare, is a red color with white and red diamonds along the base, signifying that she is property to the king. A chain was linked around her collar in the hands of the king. Near the corner of his throne was Princess Luna, naked in all her glory. She was a little shorter than her sister, but more beautiful. Her body, along with her big breast, were the envy to all caribou and stallions. Her ass, which had a picture of a crescent moon with black splotches, made his dick stand up right. Like the princess, she had the same color with a chain attached to the side of the throne.

The caribou king hears his advisor shouting and turned his head towards him, his eyes glaring at him. "What is it, Brutus!? Can't you see that I am busy fucking Sunbutt here!" To emphasize his point, he pulls his dick out half way before thrusting it deep inside her, causing Celestia to moan.

"W-w-w-well y-y-y-your highness,” Brutus was completely terrified by the sheer presence of the king. "S-s-s-something happened last night that requires your attention."

"Well, out with it." The king demanded. He grunted and moaned as he quickened his pace.

Brutus gulped as he was prepared to give the news. "There was a raid last night. Three of the Elements have escaped, along with the slaves that lived there. The guards were killed."

Everything went silent. The king stopped what he was doing, earning a desperate moan from Celestia. Princess Luna had a curious look on her. The air grew still, like time itself had stopped.

King Dainn eyes twitched. "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT?!?!?!!?" The king yelled as he shot up from his throne. Flames were literally spewing out from his body. He pushed Celestia off of his dick and on the floor. She was still giggling. "WHO WOULD DARE TO DEFY ME!? A GOD KING?!?!" He pointed in Brutus direction. "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?!?!?"

"S-s-s-somewhere around midnight, my lord." Brutus was shaking, afraid of the anger of the king. "W-w-w-we don't have all the details, but from what a few guards who survive have said, they were heavily armed and....well.... they looked like demons." He yelped as a thunder bolt shot out of Dann’s antlers, which were twice the size of any normal caribou's and glowed an eerie red. It zoomed past him and hit the vase next to him.

The king breathed in before breathing some air in and out with his nose, doing this a couple of times to calm himself. He then stared at him. "Tell the soldiers to kill those who escaped for incompetence and cowardice. Then I want you to send a message to General Fabius to come to Ponyville and find whoever is responsible. Make sure to bring him.... or her alive so I could....'persuade' them. And tell the magisters to get ready for departure." He waved his hand. "Now be on your way."

Brutus bowed deeply and murmured apologies before going out the throne room. King Dainn was once again along with his thoughts. 'How dare they?!? I brought them to a golden age and this is how they repay me?!? I am a god, and all will respect me as such.' He shook his head. 'No matter. I have dealt with rebellions before, and this one would be no different.' He tugged the chain that was attached to Luna and pulled her towards him. "Suck, Moonfuck."

Luna, or Moonfuck by her new master, glared at him. Dainn gripped her hair and pressed her against his dick. Luna tried to resist, but he was too strong to resist. In the end, he started pulling her head in and out in a rhythm as she sucked him.

A savage grin made itself known. 'I'll find them and make sure they'll regret ever turning on me, just like the others.'


You know, I never really got around to telling you my life story because of all the shit that is happening. Now I know what you’re thinking: 'Who cares about your life story? We don't care about that blah blah blah. That's what heroes do blah blah blah. Stop being gay blah blah blah.'

First off, fuck you. This is my story that I'm telling you. So I can do whatever the fuck I want, and you’re going to either enjoy it or not. Second, I might die at some point. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but at some point.

So, here goes nothing.

Like I said, I'm Jewish. Now I know what your think. 'You can't be Jewish because you kill and steal and swear and blah blah.' Why don't you step into my shoes for one day and then you'll understand me!

Anyway, I'm not just some regular American Jewish that aaaalllllways seems to be the protagonist in every book and movie that is made. Well, mostly. I was born in California, but my father was from a country called Israel, in a major city called Jerusalem, the capital city of Israel. There are other countries besides America, you jackasses! He was an Israeli Commando in the army and my mother was a tourist from America. I'm not going into full detail on how they met and fall in love (since I forgot how they even meet), but from what they told me.... well....it just seems typical. My mother was on vacation and was confused with her new surroundings. The first thing that she did was ask someone, which happened to be my father. He was off duty at the time when he met her. Several awkward conversations, a trip to the coffee shop and a few dates later, they fell in love.

Love is so confusing.

My mother thought about taking my dad back to the United States, California to be precise. My father was hesitant at first, but he agreed at the end. My father told me that he always wanted to visits America and see all the sites he heard of, and he told me that this was a perfect opportunity to do so. So he retired from the army and went with my mother to America. He met with her parents and they approve of him marring their daughter, even though they are Catholic. My dad went to college and got a Degree in Engineering. He got a job as a technician working for some company. I can't remember what the name was, but he earned a decent wage from them. My mother was a lawyer, and she earned a big wage.

Sooo........there's that.

Two years later, my mother gave birth to me. After I was born, my brother was born two years later.

Well, there you have it. My life story. Not as interesting as you might think, but hey; we can't all have interesting lives like you've seen in movies or books. But enough about me. I'll continue on with the story.

The morning sun came up from beyond the mountains, the warm colors spreading over the fields and everything around it, including the castle. This included the old castle we were in, changing it from a dark color to a dark blue. The birds chirping sounded all around us. Predators in the forest started to wake up, either out hunting for food or sleeping in. The rays of the sun shined through the torn curtains from the top of the castle. At this time, I was asleep, tired after last night’s activities. The rays of light hit my face, making me groan and turning over. It didn't work as the rays hit the back of my neck, which was a little annoying to begin with. After some time tossing and turning so I could get away from the warmth of the rays, I gave up and started to wake myself up. I yawned, stretching my arms back and hearing my bones crack, which was a first for me. I blinked my eyes a couple of time and rubbed them to get the dust, or "sleepies" from my eyes.

Hours have passed since the raid, and things have been a little hectic. The ponies that I freed have been a little nervous, if not downright fearful for the Dremora. I had to separate the stallions from the mares. It not that I don't trust them, even though they told me they aren't like the others. I have some suspicion that there is a supporter of the regime among them. Call me paranoid, but hey; when you’re stuck on an alien world fight a war against a species you barely even know, you tend to get like that. It took a lot of talking to the mares and stallions to settle them down, telling them that they have nothing to fear and that I was helping them. At first, they didn't believe, and some tried to attack me, thinking I was trying to enslave them for my own personal means, while others said I was one of those slavers to profit off of them. How could blame them? It's not every day some strange creature with command of a demon-like army marching in and saving them. It would give out the wrong impressions. Thankfully, Xucruroth erected a barrier between me and them, stopping them. A few Daedric mages that stayed behind to study some of the artifacts of the castle also helped as well, stopping them before they were even close to me. The result was ponies being suspended in midair with their bodies frozen. I told them that I wasn't some evil demon coming to enslave them, nor was I one of the slaver. It took a while to get them to listen to me, but they soon got the message that I was no threat to them. Hell, even the remaining Elements told them about me and how I saved them.

After that little "fiesta", I started to get really tired and told them to hold down the fort. I mean I was really really really tired, like I just don't want to move at all and just fall face down. Luckily I had enough energy to find one of the rooms with a bed in this castle. Lyra and Bon Bon managed to stop me and check up on me, asking me a million questions about the raid. I didn't want to answer them and told them that I would answer them once I get some rest. They agreed and wished me a good night. I soon fell face first into a bed and fell asleep, never bother to take off my armor.

The strangest thing was that I didn't have any dreams that night. I thought that with all the killing and blood and stuff, I would at least get a nightmare or two, but I didn't. I don't know why. Maybe I'm already insane, but that out of the question. Right now, I didn't care.

So I did start my day with stretching my body. I bent down to my legs and tried to reach them with my hands. This resulted in hearing my bones cracking into place. Again, uncommon. Then I started bending to the left side, before bending to the right side. I then went over my plans for today. My plan for the first day was to meet with Tirek, Xurcuroth, and Kathutet to decide our next move, possible even move to a more secured location. Then I have to meet with the pony that Xurcuroth came back with and tried to find out where this resistance was at so I could have some sort of agreement with them, maybe even bring the escaped mares back to them. They deserve to wait it out than be with me. Although my gut is telling me to just keep them safe. If my knowledge of movies and T.V. shows taught me anything, it's that any resistance movement would be discovered by some cliché traitor or by a captured stallion or mare. But I don't have much of a choice here. It was either them or here. You could already guess how that would turn out.

So I would trust them.... for now.

It was then I noticed that something was.... off.

I smelled. Bad.

New plan; I had to take a bath or a shower. I smelled like shit and dried blood, along with other things that I would not mention.

I never bothered to take off my armor because I was tired. It had dried up and started to smell on my armor. Not only that, but my body was also starting to smell. The sweat, combined with some of the blood that had managed to stick to my skin had started to smell as well. So I decided to just leave the room I was in, which was the servants quarters, and made my way down the hall.

In an ironic twist of fate, I managed to bump into Kat as he came down the hall. He was actually looking for me and wanted to come with him. At first, I told him I wanted to take a bath at the river that is right next to the castle (since the secret room that the Princesses once had is being used by the mares that are dirty and had cum all over them), but Kathutet stopped me before I could even do that. He reminded me of the horrible monsters that stalked the Everfree Forest and that they would jump out and kill/eat me. He also told me of the possibilities of the caribou sending a small force to hunt down the slaves.

He also told me that I was stupid. What a pal.

He soon told me that he had one last thing to show me back in Paradise, and promised me that it would be worthwhile. So, with the book in my hand, I chanted the words and opened the portal back to Paradise. Unlike last time, I wasn't sucked into the portal, which was a relief. I stepped in and Kat followed suit.

We went on a long trek towards the mountain, neither talking to each other. I soon noticed that we were taking the same path that I went down from when I came here. He leads me past the Palace that they took me to when I was unconscious. I remember seeing a large bath in there. I asked him if we would use that, but he said that what I'm about to see would actually bring tears to my eyes.

After some time, after walking a path to the top of the mountain, I saw what he was talking about.

A castle-like structure stood at the bottom of the crater. It was much bigger than the one I woke up in, and more beautiful too. The structure of the castle was imbedded into the crater, which Kat told me was a volcano at one point. He told me that it was dormant, so we don't have to worry about being burned alive. Like the palace, it had the same Ayleid building-style, white marble with some mosaic pieces on it. A large courtyard stood in the center, separated by two walls. Two Cherry Blossoms stood to the side like guardians. I could see some pools dotting around the outside. The whole thing was surrounded by a body of water. I also saw a beautiful pond with some fish nets and other miscellaneous items used for fishing.

In short, it looked fucking beautiful.

Kat said that this is the Aylied Citadel, a place where Mankar Cameron and his family lived in when he made this place. A spell was cast on the place that allowed only the lord of the realm to live in. Since his death, no could enter into the palace. Now that I controlled the realm, I could now enter into the place itself.

We traveled down the mountain and into the Citadel. The courtyard was waaay more impressive than the view from above. Vegetation of all kinds dotted the landscape. I could see some Dremora roaming around with armor and weapons. A waterfall was seen as well, bring some water down into the lake below. A fountain stood inside the courtyard, the water looked crystal clean. A random path leads to a clearing with two chairs. Archways and other paths dotted the landscape. As we got deeper into the structure, I saw some animals actually running around the place. A fox had managed to slip past me between the legs before disappearing into the bushes. To the right of me, I saw an open bar. From the looks of it, it sold weapons and armor, while I saw some guards drawing their arrows and shot at the targets that were set up. To the left of me was an open bar with an oven, the Dremora drinking and chatting after a long day’s work. The smell of meat and other baked goods filled my nostrils, making my stomach growl. I reminded it that we would clean ourselves first and then pig out like there's no tomorrow. I also saw some signs on different buildings that were separate from the palace, like a hammer and anvil on one and a picture of a flask on another. He told me that they were different shops that were built into the palace after Mankar died and Xurcuroth saved the realm. I don't know how economy works in Paradise, but I didn't press it further.

We went up the steps and approached the double doors that had the picture of a willow tree. I have to say that it is impressive. We pushed open the doors, which created a 'creaking' sound and went inside.

The inside was more impressive than the outside. The how place was big, enough to fit in a dragon. Like the outside, it was all white with green mosaic outline. Daedric guards stood at the sides. Two crystal-like chandlers hung to the sides next to the steps. Two tables were separated by a fireplace that was somehow burning. All types of food were there as well, ranging from roasted chicken to sweet rolls. It took all my will power just to keep me from launching out and eating everything like there's no tomorrow. Up the steps themselves was a throne. Two blue crystals stood on stands right next to the throne. Two banners hung from between the throne. It had the same symbol like the cover of the Mysterium Xarxes, except the symbol was black and the background was red. Kat told me that now I'm the new lord, I can live here instead of the castle back in Equestria. This is where we can form our strategies and be out of site from the government. I was actually pretty nice that he showed me this.

As a spokesman on T.V. would say; "Wait, there's more!"

He leads me out of throne room and into the outside world once again. We were outside once again and going to a different section of the castle. He told me that he would show me where I would live in for the rest of my time in this crazy world. After some time, we arrived at the place, which was a small hut-like structure embedded. A beautiful green mosaic door had laid before us, which seemed to be the same style as the rest of the structures I've seen.

We both opened the door and I was treated to a view of the inside. It was the size of a regular house, with some additional things all around the place. I suspected that it was a display room of sorts. A fireplace laid at the far middle of the room with red comfortable couch's. A few cabinets were far from the door that lead to somewhere. A table held various items and other things behind a glass display to the right side of the room. Right next to it was an aquarium, which was filled with fishes that are identical to the ones from my world. A blue stone hung in the center of the supported by a rope. It glowed a pale blue, which was impressive. The archway glowed in the same pale blue light that is pretty impressive. Two wooden doors stood at the side of the room. The other room contained what you would find in a spacious house. A fire place in the middle with a low table and some cushions. A book and some other items stood at the left side, which I could presume was for alchemy. There was a door that lead to a small room that had a bed, which I could assume I was going to live in. Various vases stand on a stand to the left of me. A fire place was also there as well. The bed itself wasn't big, but it was the right size for me. It also had a fancy stone chest with the same colors as the entire structures. I soon went into the other room on the right side of the display room. The entire room was a medieval-style kitchen, with a cooking pot in a fireplace and the boiling of something good. I didn't how long it was like that before I arrived but clearly they were preparing for my stay. A stone stove was already roaring fire, clearly getting ready for me to cook something. The was a cookbook on the table on the opposite side of the room, which had some meals inside that I could prepare, which was great for me. I could actually cook some food on my own. I've taken some cooking classes during my time at school, learning to prepare my meals. I don't mean to brag or anything, but people said that I make the tastiest meals and said that I should be a cook.

And then I went to the door behind the display room. It was a bath.

Calling it a bath was an understatement. It took up the entire room and I mean the entire room. It looked more like a pool than anything. It had the same glowing stones like the archways. It also had a view of the outside sky, which was actually kind of beautiful. I could see steam rise from the water, meaning that it was hot. Kat told me that once I was finished cleaning up, that he would meet me at the ruined castle back in Equestria. So he went out the door and left me to my own devices.

I started to undress out of my Elven Armor. It was a tedious task, mind you. I had to find all the hooks and such that held my armor together. After sometime, I'd managed to get out of my armor, which left me in my boxers. I could still see the blood from my battles with the caribou, as well as the scorched marks and scratches from my battle with Spike. My phone actually dropped out at some point. Luckily, I had completely forgot about that. I picked it up and examined it. I didn't have any damage on it, which surprised me to no end. You'd think that it would be melted or crushed by everything I've been through. Physics are fucked up in this world. I pressed some buttons and opened Pandora, which had a song that was beginning to play.

I stripped out of my boxers and took a step in the pool. I then took another step and another until I was halfway deep. The feeling of the water was indescribable. It's like having being covered in a blanket of soft and wet sheep wool or some shit like that. Now that I think about it, I couldn't even remember the last time I've taken a shower or a bath. This long ass campaign against the caribou kind of restricts you of that.

Sorry, I'm getting of topic here again.

Started to swim for a bit, trying to get some exercise going before the meeting. I did notice a slight change in my body that I did not notice before.

Before I was sent here, I wasn't really well exercised, but I wasn't really fat as well. I was sort of in the middle between skinny and fat. Now I have a six pack chest that you normally see in teenage romance stories, along with slightly bulging muscles. Maybe it was the train that I underwent when I planned to free the Elements, but I don't think it counts. My legs were still the same, muscles on them as well. I had to ride twenty miles to school and back on my bike. Though the hard part of going back home was going up the hills. It was a real exercise. But again, I don't think it counts. My arms have muscles on them as well, so that's a thing.

In short, I was a fucking Tarzan.

After a little bit of exercise, I sat on the steps as the water embraced me. A lot of grim and blood washed away from me, forming up in a pile of.... well...dirty water. I closed my eyes and sighed as the warmth that I was denied for some time consumed me. I relaxed a bit.

After sometime in the water, I started to think.

Why was I here? I know I was tasked by the Big Guy (not god) to retake Equestria and drive out the caribou. But is that it? Was there something else that I had to do? Was I sent here to conquer them, or just save them? Why would this responsibility be given to me?

And this lead to another group of questions.

Just who was that strange "Merchant" guy that gave me those artifacts? Did he know that it was really magical? If so, what was he? The Devil? God wanting to get some entertainment out of my already crazy life? Some ancient god or some shit? Are all his items really magical in nature? How many did he give to people? Are they here in Equestria with me? So many questions that I couldn't even answer. It frustrated me to no end.

I sighed as I just sank in with the water. It didn't matter right now. Whether there are humans like me in Equestria or not, I have to focus on the mission at hand. For my friends. My family. Everyone at home is trying so hard to find me when I'm halfway across the universe, which I later found out that I am in the multiverse. It won't be an easy road. Now that the caribou know they have some opposition that is well organized, they would send the best of their armies after me and the Daedra's. I say let them. The Dremora have more experience in combat than anything out there. Added to the fact that they are more zealot than an ISIS douchebag makes this fight all the more interesting. I'll show these caribous bastard what happens when you piss off a human with powers. I'll show them the good ole "Red, white and blue" in their faces and give them an Uncle Sam right into the nuts. By the time I'm done with them, they'll be crying to god or whatever they worship and regret ever setting foot, or hooves, on Equestrian soil. I'm literally becoming the monster in every story that they will tell, but in actuality I'll try to save the citizens of this oppressive land and free them from their tyrants.

Little did I know, it was exactly what I soon became. A monster. Not to the caribou, but to everyone.


Once I was done with bathing and cooking up some eggs and bacon (there actually was bacon here, I swear!), Tirek, Xurcuroth, Kathutet, Venom and I planned out next move.

Oh, you don't know who Venom is? Apparently ..........she is a Dremora female. I'm more surprised than you guys.

Apparently, they have females in the Badlands, and Paradise, who were just as fierce and brave than the others. They're roles were the same as another Dremora with the exception of one thing.

They could choose to be either a warrior for battle or they could be breeders for the males.

Just.......don't ask why. I stopped asking those questions a looooong time ago.

Kathutet introduced me to Venom weeks before the raid. Unlike any Dremora I saw, she had ember eye like a human with a short black hair tied to a ponytail. Her horns curled to the side of her head, like that of a ram. Her face was perfectly structured like a super model. She wore the Daedric Armor like everyone else, except a little slimmer that the regular one. From what Kat told me, she was once a big time general in Mehrunes Dagon's army. She was also the brains of the invasion of Cyrodiil, telling Mehrunes Dagon of the Dragon Amulet of Kings and its tie to the world. When everything went downhill (maybe on account of my character), Mehrunes banished her to Paradise, thinking that it would be a nothingness void when Mankar was killed. Luckily, Xurcuroth used some sort of spell to bring her here and convinced her to help out with Paradise. She was also the one that trained with me when I agreed to help the ponies of Equestria.

By training, I mean she beat the living pulp out of me and yelled "DODGE!!!" the whole time.

Right now, we were in a war room of sorts back at the Royal Castle that had seen better day. Several wooden chairs surrounded the large, round metal table, which had papers scattered all over the place. The wood seemed to be ready to fall apart any second. The ceiling and walls were once painted gold, but now have lost its luster with peeling wood and mold. The metal table was almost completely covered in rust. Some spider webs formed in corners, the ceiling and the chandler that was up there. The chandler, from what I could imagine, was golden like everything else in the room with some crystal hanging from the handles. Now it looks rusted, the crystals still retained their beauty even after thousands of years of rejection. Old maps littered the place, each one telling the geography of Equestria or of a nation or empire long past. Thankfully, one of the Daedras managed to get an updated map of Equestria during the raid, show some locations like cities or towns.

And let me tell you, there are sssssooooooooooooo many horse puns of cities and towns that had names almost like the ones on Earth. Fillyadelphia, Stalliongrad, Trotingham and all that jazz

Seriously, Manehattan? I could have thought of a better name than that.

So here we are, all standing around, planning what we need to do. I was still in my Elven Armor, blood cleaned off and shining brightly. Well, not that brightly, but you get my point. "Alright." I started to get their attention. "What's our next move?" We can't stay in the castle for much longer. Word might have already gotten around that we raided Ponyville and killed every caribou. Not only is it already in ruins and provides no strategic advantage, the caribou would likely search this place first. Even if the Everfree has a reputation of dangerous planets and wildlife, I doubt that it would hold them at bay.

"We need to rally our forces in Gaiar Alata and strike before they could find us." Venom said in a normal human female voice instead of the insanely evil voice that the Daedric sound. She pointed on one area of the map that, apparently, is a path that leads to Ponyville. "From what we learned from the locals, they will have to stick to this path so they can avoid the monsters in the forest. We await at that path with our troops and killed them all before they have a chance to organize."

"Then we would be open for an attack." Kathutet interrupted and pointed at the forest itself. "Unless you didn't notice, but these mortals tend to be more stupider than ever." He turned to me. "No offence." He turned back to her. Did he just offend me somehow? "Even if we wait for them, we would be attacked by the same creatures that stalk the forest. Not to mention that they would rather enter the forest than stick to the path. They would bypass us.

Venom glared at him. "Alright, smartass. What do you suggest we do?" I could already tell that there was tension between them. I guess the Dremora aren't used to defending civilians than actually attacking them.

"If I may interject,” Xurcuroth managed to interrupt them before they would kill each other. "Perhaps we would see what our master thinks." They soon all looked at me expecting me to have an answer. It was overwhelming to say the least. I never had to make an important decision in my entire life. The entire world rested on my shoulders and it was making me uncomfortable. But I had no choice in the matter. I chose to attack the caribou and this is what will happen.

I leaned over to the map, using my arms as support. I started looked over my options. I already said that we couldn't stay here and fight the entire army. A run-down castle will do nothing against the caribou, not to mention that it has no defenses whatsoever. The only access to the castle was a wooden bridge, and the entire place was surrounded by the endless chasm. This gave us a slight advantage. However, we have no food to sustain ourselves and the escapees. Even if I open a portal to Paradise and get some reinforcements, it would be too late. The caribou would have built siege engines and other contraptions to end us or enslave us, more likely on the latter. I looked over the map to see our options.

Now, I'm no military genius, but I did look over our number of options for where we can establish a foothold. Stalliongrad was said to be the capital of the earth ponies when the tribes fought over each other. It has high walls and a large collection of farms on the inside that can sustain the population. It has withstood sieges for both the Pegasi and the Unicorns for days, some say for years. It was a good position to hold out on, as well as have a base of operations. However, from what I've seen so far, they probably have some cannons that could tear down the wall. So that was out of the question. But it wasn't the only place that we could settle in. Manehatten is a port city with a largest harbor in the country. It has no walls like Stalliongrad, but the city itself is an island. The only way into the city are a few bridges. This would be a big advantage in case they want to siege us out. We would either have to defend the bridges or blow them up. It also has a harbor where they keep many ships. Ironically, despite being a medieval-like country, they have the same advanced technology as us, including cargo ships from my world, along with old wooden ships. We could use those for raiding off slavers ships and supply ships. But even then that would go so far. They would have a navy that would just start protecting the ships, and then blockade the port so no food gets in. So that city was out of the question again.

I was about to voice my opinion on where we should go when Tirek interrupted me. "If I may interject, there is another way of dealing with them." He pointed to the castle we were in. "This castle isn't going to hold out if we stay here." That was what I was about to say! "We can't ambush them because they would just bring more troops to hunt us." He then pointed to some mountains away from both Canterlot, Ponyville and the castle, which is dubbed "Foal Mountain." "There is a great Earth Pony fortress carved here in the Foal Mountains during the War of the Three Tribes. We could go there and rally your forces."

That is.... a good plan? I could go for whatever at this moment. "Is it really safe?"

He nodded, his buffed up arms crossed over his chest. "Not only is it impregnable, but it is also abandoned for centuries. No one, not even the Princesses could remember it. I know where it is."

"What about food?"

"We would ship our food from Paradise to sustain you mortals." Kat said.

I mentally slapped myself over the forehead. Of course! I forgot about that one thing! Paradise has a bunch of food, ranging from fruits, vegetables and meats. Even if they find us and try to starve us out, we would still create food for us. The ponies are herbivores, which I learned from Lyra and Bon-Bon, so they would have all the greeny greeny goodness they desire. And if what he said is true, they we would be very well protected. It’s a win-win for all of us. "It's settled then." I started to say. "We move out in one hour. I will notify the Elements about this." The Elements would then tell the civilians about the move as well. If they are the national heroes that everyone was talking about, then they would help with convincing them to come with us. "Make sure you pack up everything that we need." I turned to Xurcuroth. "Any progress on the prisoner and the resistance member."

"The prisoner is preparing to be interrogated as we speak. He is in the old dungeons with the interrogator. We will move him in one hour and then, once we reached our destination, you may begin to interrogate him when you are ready." Xurcuroth said. He still had his hood up, with half of his face concealed. "The resistance member is currently staying at one of the rooms. I will ask the guards to escort her to your room if you so choose."

"And Twilight?" I said. I was actually worried for the poor girl. Sure, she tried to kill me, but you can't blame her for that. She was already broken from all the fucking she endured.

"She has woken up hours ago and attempted to escape, incapacitating some of our guards." Kat started to speak. "We managed to capture her before see could escape."

"And what do you mean by that?" I questioned. I wondered how a pony had managed to outmaneuver my guards. Funny, now I'm saying that the Daedric are my guards.

"She had frozen some of our guards and managed to twist one of them into a pretzel."

......Daaaaaaaannnnnnnmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! I guess Tirek was right about one thing. Tirek did tell me that Twilight Sparkle did study under Princess Celestia and that she was a powerful wizard...pony...mage..thing, but I though he was just shiting with me. Looks like I was wrong.

"Her skills in magic are far beyond any mage I've encountered." Xurcuroth spoke up. "We've decided to put her in a cell with numerous magical enchantments. We will have to restrain her before moving once again."

"Have our soldiers posted all around her and a couple of mages on standby in case she tries anything once we get moving." I ordered. "As for our resistance friend, have her escorted to the dining room." I already know where the dining room is. So it wouldn't a problem for me. "I will talk to her there. If there is nothing else, then we are done here." The Dremora and the centaur (I learned what Tirek is) all filed out of the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

And by thoughts, I mean I slammed my face on the table.

'Why do things happen to me?' I murmured. I knew that this wasn't going to be easy, as if god and the devil decided to play with my life for their amusement.

Scratch that, they always did that.


After that whole business, I decided to visit our little resistance friend that Xurcuroth brought back. I told them to get her to the dining room, which wasn't that hard to find, mind you.

The dining room was the second biggest thing that I saw since I got to this world. The table seemed to be much long than any other table, big enough to seat at least a hundred people. Like the rest of the castle, time had not been kind. The chairs were almost worn out, if not downright ready to break. The golden colored table had lost some of its luster due to rust and black stains. Some of the chairs had holes in different places. Cobwebs were forming at the bases. At the end of the table was the resistance member.

And let me tell you, she was not what I was expecting.

She had a gray colored coat with a dark shade of blue on her mane and tail. Her ears were more pointer than a ponies, and had a similar style to that of a bat and ended with extra fluff on them. Her inner eyes were yellow with her iris slit instead of a normal eye of a ponies. Her eyes were still the same big ass anime-like eyes that I've seen in ponies. Her armor, which was probably from some part of the castle, protected her form. Two Daedric guards were standing by her side, spears that they stole from the town were in their grips. She was looking up and not in my direction, probably thinking to herself. I walked over to one of the chairs closest to her and pulled it up. She still didn't look at me, which means that she was thinking deeply about something. I cleared my throat to get her attention, and it seemed to work. She snapped out of her thinking trance and looked around the room, before setting her eyes on me. Let me tell you; it was a little unsettling to look at her in the eyes, what with the silted eyes, but I ignored it. "Are you the resistance member?" I started to ask.

"Yeah." She looked around the room and then behind me. "Soooo, where is your master at?"

.........Ok, that might have pissed me off a little bit, but I can understand that. I narrowed my eyes and said in her face "Your looking at him."

Her jaw immediately hit the floor in a fashion that you would find in cartoons. I didn't think it was physically possible, but I guess God just didn't give a shit about this world and said "fuck it". I don't know how long she was like this, but I snapped my fingers in her face. She snapped out of her trance once I did that. She shook her head before she looked at me again, this time with a surprised looked on her face. "You’re the one that mage was talking about?!?!?"

"Uh, yeah." I said, one of my hands rubbing the back of my head. "Not what you were expected?"

"Yeah." She answered. "To be fair, I thought you would be more.......uglier."

"Sometimes you never expect the unexpected." I sat down on one of the chairs, the creaking sound accompanied the motion. "But enough about me, I wanted to talk to you about something."

She gave me an incredulous look. "I'm listening."

I started to explain to her the entire plan that I was aiming for. "As you could probably guess, we are both aiming towards the same goal." I pointed to her. "You want the caribou out of Equestria,” Then I pointed to me. "and I want to help you with that." I then gestured towards my guards. "You already saw my own troops in action, as well as my personal mage." I started to fold my hands on the table. "But here's the thing. We don't know anything about Equestria, much less what the caribou had. That's why I want an alliance with the resistance."

She glared at me. "And why should I trust you? How would we know that the second we take our country back, you wouldn't just enslave us all?"

"Look, if it were up to me, I would have just laid waste to the village and killed everything in my path. I didn't do that." I'm not a charismatic person per say, but I tried explain to her what we both wanted out of this. "I get it that you don't trust me, and I understand that. But if you want to help your country, then you have to trust me. I promise to not turn on you when this is over."

She gave me a look that said "I still don't trust you." She also gave me a hard stare, looking up and down for any signs of betrayal or anything else. I stared at her back, looking right into her eyes. I didn't even know who long we were staring at each other’s eyes (not sexually, you perv). Finally, she closed her eyes and sighed. "I.......guess you’re right." She opened her eyes and looked back at me once again. "What do you want me to do?"

I knew she would listen to me. "Easy." I handed her a scroll that I wrote hours before the meeting began. It tells all the demands and what to expect, along with the location of the place we were going to travel to. "Give this to your leader. It has all the things that I expect him to see. Make sure you give it to him......or her."

She grabbed the scroll and almost unraveled it, but I lay my hand on hers to stop her. I don't want anyone but the leader to look at it. She got the message and walked out of the room. Moments later, I heard the sound of flapping wings echoing down the hall, meaning that she left to wherever the resistance is hiding. I just hope that this plan of mine worked.


General Fabius surveyed the surroundings of Ponyville, examining everything that had happened. From his position on the hills, he could see everything that is going on. It was a mess to say the least, the smell of death in the air and the dead bodies that they racked up.

He was recalled from his campaign against the rebelling zebras in the Marediterranean Peninsula by King Dainn himself to investigate some supposed raid on Ponyville. At first, he wanted to scoff at the idea of this investigation. He is a general, not the guard! However, he was curious on how some rebels had managed to stay alive after the Fall. From what he was told, the rebels were organized and had weapons that none of them seen before. There was even a report on how the rebels looked like 'demons'. He had the distinct impression that they were all wiped out after capturing the Crystal Empire. It could prove to be interesting for him. So, as order, he withdrew from the Marediterranean Peninsula and arrived in Ponyville about three hours ago. Originally, it would have taken two days to cross the ocean and arrive in Equestria, but thanks to some Magisters and some mages from the old regime that supported the king, they have managed to make something called "Gateways’, which can teleport anyone to another place where it has a "Gateway". One was already connected to Canterlot and another in the city of Istanbull, where he and his troops were staying at. This allowed the caribou to travel anywhere in the world with an army in case some rebels or army had managed to take back some land. He arrived in Canterlot in an hour and a half later and took the train to Ponyville.

Right now, his troops are searching all over Ponyville for some clue as to where the rebels have gone. The caribou picked up some of the dead bodies and brought them to a wagon that was pulled by some slaves all dressed in BDSM outfits, small chains pierced through the nipples. The village seemed almost fine, if it wasn't for the shops being broken in. It looked like there was some theft left and right, some shops emptied of produces. The smell of blood and rotten bodies filled the air. When the troops found the bodies all cut up and bent, some missing their heads, the troops looked like they could shit their armored pants.

Some of the caribou found the heads mounted on some pikes in the courtyard. Beside those little incidents, he was surprised at how many dead bodies there were. These were some guards that were trained to use weapons and subdue the populace in case they revolt. Now they were a bunch of dead bodies on the ground. They hadn't had any real weapons training whatsoever, but they could have held their own against any rebel bitch. Now, there were dead bodies all over the place, some even scorched, indicating that they had mages with them. He knew that this wasn't the work of some rebels. This seemed much more organized than anything he had ever seen.

A caribou trooper approached him from up the hill. Once he had gotten close to him he spoke. "We search the entire area, sir, but be can't find anything. We talked with some of the stallion survivors. They said that they escaped with every slave in this town. They were a small number of.... whatever had don't this, but they were heavily armed to the teeth. They couldn't fight back." He shuffled on this hooves a little bit. "And...........we search the mansion of a slaver named Vitreous. All of his guards were killed. It looked like some of them had been eaten by...something. We couldn't find him anywhere, not even among the bodies. The Magisters told us that there was some dark magic around the air.”

Now that go his attention.

He wasn't a Magister, but he knew for a fact that dark magic is nearly forbidden to the ponies of Equestria, not since the days when the accursed nation was created. Necromancy is one of those magic's, able to raise the dead to do someone's bidding. The rebels couldn't have accesses to some of those type of dark magic. They were all locked up in the Tower of Knowledge back in Canterlot. Even if they had managed to get it somehow, they could even begin to master it. Unless-

He was interrupted by the flapping of wings and the sound of something landing on the soft grass. He turned around and saw a pegasus scout landed right in front of him. "Sir, I've found the rebels leaving the Everfree Forest. It seems that they are heading south."

The general spoke to his fellow comrade. "What do you see? Where are they going?"

"It's a small army, sir. It's unlike anything that I have ever seen. They look heavily armed, and their armor is unlike anything I've seen in my years in the service. I don't think they are Equestrians." The scout reported what he saw. "I followed them for a bit. They seemed to be heading to Foal Mountain, sir. To the south."

The general looked in the direction the scout mentioned. The sun had already rose up high, knowing that King Dainn is watching over them. He saw the mountains that he had mentioned. "Prepare the troops to move out. We will reach the mountains by sundown."
