"No. No. No. You’re doing it all wrong!" Xurcuroth explained as he watched me trying to do a simple spell on the vase that was in front of me. "Focus your mind, don't will the magic out of you." In all honesty, it was pretty damn hard to do something that your supposed to do, only for it to not.

What am I talking about, you asked? Well, I was trying to do a levitation spell (AKA Da Force) on a vase.

Some good two hours have passed since we settled in the castle. The ponies still stayed in the room and I can't understand why. It's not like I'm holding them hostage or anything. Then again, they are probably still scared shitless of me and my army of demons. Speaking of armies, Kat managed to rally some Dremora to come with him to engage the forces heading our way and the ones in Ponyville. I was actually surprised how much Dremora they're were in the realm. Then again, this is magic were talking about. I would have come to join them. I know, I would be killing people again and I do feel bad for it. But......I don't know. I guess it's the adventurer in me that wants to do it. Plus, from what the caribou had done to the nation of Equestria, I wouldn't even bat a tear at them. Seriously, from the atrocities I heard, they make the Nazi's seem like little kittens, and that's saying something. In the end, I couldn't. Not because I wanted to, but because I wanted to wait for Nightingale to come back with the message.

You should have seen how many went out the drawbridge when they left. Our force went from forty to ten thousand. That's right, ten thousand! When Kat ask them to volunteer, everyone wanted to go. I guess they were all eager to go back to fighting something again.

While I waited for word on Nightingale, I decide to go back to Paradise. I mostly spent my time at my house in Paradise doing some....'recreational activities.'

By that, I mean watching some videos on YouTube and playing Hearthstone. What? You think I was masturbating? You’re a sick fuck and you should be ashamed of yourself.

It wasn't thirty minutes later that I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and saw Xavier standing on the other side. I asked him what he want. I thought he was researching something or interrogating that one slaver he brought back alive. He told me that he wanted to practice my magic some more, that he would wait a while before he would start his interrogation.

We were in a random room in a part of the castle back in Equestria. The place seemed old, but from the looks of it, it was a library at one point. It wasn't as big as some of the other rooms, but it did have at least five shelves in the room, each of them backed into the far wall. Some of the books on the shelf were almost torn up, some of the titles were faded as well. There were some weapons laying around the place, but those were probably just for show than anything else. Papers were scattered everywhere; I didn't know where they come from. A table was moved to the center of the room. On said table were several books that we were using to practice. The falcon, who is now my pet, is perching on one of the shelves, watching with mild amusement as I failed.

I felt the headache returning like a bitch. I sat on a chair that was next to me, rubbing my head. "Stop!" I almost shouted. I put one of my hands up to single him to stop. "Agh! Let's take five for a second." Apparently, it was as hard of doing it as someponies said. In fact, I could say that for every spells out there. They made it seem a lot easier in the movies or T.V. shows.

I head Xurcuroth walking towards me, using his staff as his walking stick. "You are trying to force this spell out. Don't do that." He explained to me. "You need to imagine it happening."

"I'm trying, but it doesn't even work." I said to him. I looked up to and tried to look at him. Despite wearing Daedric armor and have his face concealed by a hood, I could almost swear that he wasn't a Daedra at all....

"That's because you’re thinking too much." He explained to me. Again. "You must drown out your thoughts. Only then can you will the magic out of you."

"I.....guess that makes sense." I said. It makes sense. The first few times I did it was actually that. During the fight with Spike, I had cleared my mind and used my magic, but that was because I was almost dead. And I was fighting a dragon.

"Good." He said. "Let’s try it again. This time, clear your thoughts." I got up from my chair and stood at a battle position, as if ready to engage an invisible enemy. Once again, I closed my eyes. I did as Xurcuroth said and tried to clear my thoughts as I did this.

I didn't know how to describe what I'm doing, but all I could say it's kind of like I'm in a river of sorts. Imagine that you have some sort of invisible hand. Now you want to use that hand to catch a fish. You can't use a rod or a net, because you don't have it in the first place.

I'm not very good when explaining magic. I just happens when I'm thinking of something. Does this mean I'm overpowered in some way? Wait. What am I think! Of course I'm already overpowered! In fact, this whole story seems overpowered in some way! Not that I'm complaining or anything.

"You can open your eyes now, Master." I did as he was told and opened my eyes. I almost shouted in glee when I saw the book that was on the table, the one I was using and struggling to lift, is now floating three inches off the ground. My hand was also glowing, surrounded in a strange yellow aura. "You have done well."

"Thanks." I said as I waved my hand around left and right. The result was the book following in the same direction. I actually smiled when I did this. It seems that I finally gotten the hang of this.

"Sir, the pony-"

I turned around to see how was talking to me, while stilling having my hand outstretched. However, that resulted in the vase traveling across the room and almost at Kat. I seemed that he returned from his raid. He yelped and ducked as the vase nearly missed him by an inch. The sound of glass breaking was hear across the hallway. Kat got up and glared at me. I had managed to put on a sheepish smile, while putting the hand I've been using to levitate it across my neck. It seems I still have a lot to learn. "Sorry about that." I managed to apologize.

He stared at me with a flat stare. "I know you are trying to improve on your magic, but make sure you turn it off next time." He dusted himself off.

"I'm still trying to figure out this magic stuff." I said. I folded my arms. "So, did you with the army."

He grinned. "Yep. We caught them by surprised as well. It seems they didn't count on us returning to the town. As per instructions, we freed the slaves and let them go." He folded his arms. "We've also capture what we think is there general."

"Really?" I asked. It seems unlikely that they would capture people alive. Then again, Xurcuroth managed to capture a slaver. Maybe my humanity is rubbing off on them.

Maybe

"Yeah. We threw him in the dungeons. Guy seemed important, because he was wearing some fancy armor. There was another induvial there as well. He was dressed fancy, kind of like those Imperial nobles, and had golden guards surround him. He had gotten away before our scouts could kill him." This was now actually bad news. Not as bad a news, but still. Looks like whoever this induvial was might be telling King Dainn about what he saw. I say let him. Let him tell that basterd king what he saw. Maybe he might believe him or not, but now one thing is certain.

We are now at war.

"Prince Blueblood." Another feminine voice said. Pushing Kat out of the way, Nightingale entered the room. "I would give my left hand to kill that traitor." Her words had some venom in it, which means that this 'Blueblood' isn't well liked.

"You know who he is?" I asked Nightingale.

She snorted. "Of course I know him. That snobby fucker betrayed us when the caribou came at our doorstep. He lead them through a secret entrance in Canterlot, and managed to wound the princesses when this was all happening. The king nominated him to be his heir once it was all over. He's still a prince, but he has an organization called the Solar Inquisition that hunts down every escaped female and males resisting their control. Everyone feared him because of this." I could see her hand clenching, anger shown on her face. "He even managed to pay off our last resistance leader for our location. All of us barely made it out alive when they attacked. That bitch betrayed us......FOR SEX!!!" Damn, if what she said is true, then this guy might be a problem.

I tried to comfort her as best I can. I didn't pat her on the shoulder or hugged her, and you would know why. So instead, I said this. "I very sorry for your lost. I really am. I promise that when we establish ourselves, I will try to hunt him down." I was actually serious on that one. This Blueblood betrayed his entire species and country just to be a prince, even made an organization that would make ISIS look like cute pugs. Trust me, I've seen this organization first hand.

"While we were returning, the bat pony caught up with us. Anyway, the bat pony has returned with some news." Kat interrupted my thoughts.

"Uh...Yeah. What's the news?" I asked Nightingale.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you alone." I nodded. With a wave of my hand, I dismissed Kat and Xurcuroth. Kat said something about looking over the troops, while Xavier said that he was going to interrogate the slaver. Both of them walked out of the room and shut the door.

"So what's up?" I started to say. Nightingale opened her mouth to say something, but then we heard a rumble. She shielded her stomach and blushed. "You hungry?"

"Yeah." She mumbled. I couldn't help but chuckle. I know we're technically at war with the caribou and they could hunt us down, there's nothing like some comedy to cheer you up at times of need. She glared at me with her cat-like eyes. "It's not funny."

"I know." I laughed. "Come, let's talk at the dinner table." With that in mind, we both went out of them room and down the hallway, particularly heading towards the dining room.

Hopefully, I might get some good news.

"They laughed? At me?" I wasn't expecting.... this sort of news. But news was news. What can you do?

We were currently in some sort of dining room. Like many things in this castle, it lost its luster ages ago. The banners were torn apart, if not right fallen in the ground. Some of the stones were also on the ground as well. The crystal chandlers were...fine, but the chandler itself was rust, like it was ready to fall off at any moment. The long table in the room fell apart long ago, so we had to bring in a small round table with regular silverware. We both sat down at different sides of said table. Nightingale was eating a Caesar Salad, or something equivalent to that. I had only a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some chips. Get this, the brand of chips I got was Prancgles, a pony version of Pringles. Who would have thought? I also had a glass of water with me. My falcon was perched on my shoulders. I gave him some pieces of chips, the falcon moving to my hand. It didn't hurt my hands, but did feel some stinging.

"I wouldn't say that they laughed at you." Nightingale said as she dug her fork inside the salad and produced some greens. "They were laughing at what I told them." She put the fork in her mouth. She was moan with her mouth closed.

"Well, what did you tell them?" I took a bite out of my sandwich. I can't not tell you how delicious it is. I think they use magic to spice up the flavoring or something.

She shallowed. "That a demon army lead by an alien wants an alliance with us. And that Tirek is helping them."

"That is partially true." Tirek said that came walking into the room. I tell you, that motherfucker was big as an ox. His horns almost reached the ceiling itself.

Somehow he'd gotten bigger too. Not sure why.

"Then what would you say about what we are doing?" I asked him, my one eyebrow raised.

"If anything, your helping me." He said with his arms crossed. "When I escaped from Tartarus, I thought I would finally have my revenge against those princesses and Twilight. When I heard that someone else had taken over Equestria, I was extremely pissed off. I was supposed to be the one that will bring doom and destruction, not someone else." You lost a point in trust, Tirek. Not cool.

Nightingale couldn't help but laugh, dropping her fork in the process. "Ha, sucks to be you." "

Tirek glared at her, which made her shrink in her chair a little. "Despite what YOU think, I am still more powerful than I was before. If I had a chance, I would have crushed this King without a second thought."

"Then why can't you?" I asked. Tirek is powerful, more powerful than anyone I met when I got here, even me. Despite me teaming up with the worst of the worst, he was still able to impress us with his magic.

"Well, I could think of a number of reasons." Tirek stated. "As of now, I can't tell you."

"So now your using him as a means to an end? I don't think that talking about that is going to get you anywhere." Nightingale said with a smartass tone.

Tirek stared down at her. "If you haven't remembered last time, I could drain your energy now and be done with it."

Now it was Nightingale's turn to glare at him, keeping her hand on her sword. "I dare you to that! I'm going to gut like a-"

"ENOUGH!" I yelled, slamming both of my hands down at the table. What I didn't see was the table itself breaking after my hands touched it, the food dropping to the floor. This caused both of them to jump in fright, or at least Nightingale did. The falcon flew away in fright to another side of the room, now perching on the left shoulder of a knight's suit. Tirek was.......well, surprised. Honestly, I was surprised as well. I didn't think I had this strength to break a table in half.

This world was weird. There is no doubt about it.

"Look,” I started to say. One of my hands massaged my temple. "I honestly don't care if I'm being used. I couldn't care less. I just..." I sighed. "I just want this would thing to be done with. I don't care if Tirek does takeover, but I want both of you to shut up and make up. We're all renegades now, and if we start fighting, then the caribou would have won. Got it?" The both nodded. I could still sense some hostility between the two of them, but at least they aren't fighting right now. "Now, Nightingale, you said that they didn't believe you?"

She was still staring at me with wide eyes before I asked the questions. She shook her head. "Uh, yeah. They thought that I was crazy and seeing things after I escaped."

"So now we don't have support?" I was afraid that something like this would happen. Let’s face it, it probably wouldn't make any sense if some demons from another world came and started to save everyone. It would sound like what some crazy person would say. However, even if we don't have the resistance on our side, there has to be some nation out there that hate the caribou more than the ponies......

"Actually, I didn't say that we don't have support from them." Nightingale started to say, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Some of them didn't believe, but there was one that did. Storm Strider. She is the current leader of the resistance. She used to be a guard for Princess Celestia. When the caribou first came, she was stationed in Hoovington doing.... guard stuff. She's actually the one that lead some of us out when the caribou first discovered our hideout. She's a really good leader."

"What did she say?" I asked her.

"Well, she said that she believed me, considering the fact that I'm still alive and well. And she also said that she would consider this alliance you came up with."

I was positively beaming. Finally, some good news!

"But, there is one thing that she wants in return."

I frowned. Of course there was a caught! There always has to be a caught. "And that is what?"

"Well,” She looked away and rubbed the back of her neck. "She does believe what I said, but she also skeptically of this "demon army saving us" bit. She wants me to tell you that if you claim to be saving us, and have an army on your back, then you would have to take Stalliongrad back for us. Do this, and she'll need all the proof she needs for this alliance."

Well....I wouldn't say this was a bad idea. Taking a city by force? It was........I don't know. Scary? Exciting? Dangerous? Then again, I made a lot of bad ideas that end in success somehow. "Why Stalliongrad?" I asked her.

"Well, it's an important city for two reasons." She began to explain. "Stalliongrad was a first place to be built when the Three Tribes united. It served as a capital city for years before Discord came into power. In fact, it was actually the place where a finally battle between Discord and the Sisters took place." Whoever named himself Discord has to be a total douche. And he is, even after I freed him. "Free" being a subjective term. I later learned that he is a master of...."Chaos". Not the chaos that we know, which involves wars and revolutions and civil wars and killing people. He's more of a prankster of sorts, which doesn't make sense to me. There was this one time that, during the Battle of Silent River (it used to be called Rainbow River before), Discord turned all the weapons that the caribou had into bagels. Yes. Large, round bagels. It was freakin hilarious. The caribou couldn't do anything. Unfortunately, it wasn't limited to the caribou. He also turned all of the weapons that my troops had into bagels as well. He had a sense of humor of a twelve-year old. Cheese Sandwich even made a song about the battle later on, which was called "Battle of the Breads." "Stalliongrad became the headquarters of the remaining Royal Army after the caribou took Canterlot. We were doing fine up until Dainn decided to go north and capture the Crystal Empire. Everything soon gone downhill after that."

"The Crystal Empire? Why would he go north for that?" I asked her. I didn't know what the Crystal Empire is at the time, so I didn't know why a king would move half of his forces north instead of sieging out Stalliongrad. Turns out, he had a reason.

"There is this artifact that the crystal ponies have called the Crystal Heart." She started to explain what it was. "It basically spreads love in the city or something. I don't really know. Shining Armor and Princess Cadance used to rule it. When the caribou first invaded, there was a lot of resistance. They were facing revolts left and right even when they captured Canterlot and subdued the princesses. When the king found out about the Crystal Heart, he marched half of his forces north. We thought that they had retreated and prepared a force to take back Canterlot. By the time we got there, the Crystal Empire had already fallen, and they installed something called the Crystal Cock." I had to restrain myself from laughing out loud. Seriously, the Crystal Cock? These guys don't know the first thing about modesty. I could see her clutching her fist. "I don't know how they did it, but they somehow managed to affect Equestria in general. The stallions, including some mare, went crazy and tried to kill or rape us. Half of our forces barely escaped that engagement. We were down to half to what we originally started. By the time we even got back to Stalliongrad, it had already been taken over by the caribou thanks to some brainwashed stallions. They killed the defenders and raped all the mares that survived." She had that saddened look in her eyes, as well as anger. "A few of my male friends were killed during that battle. They hung their bodies out in the cold to remind everyone what happens. I want to make those bastards pay for what they did." She sighed. "So that's it. If you help us with this, then we can help you. Think you’re up for it?"

Yikes. I could see why they wanted me to take Stalliongrad back. They wanted to remind everyone, brainwashed or not, to know that you can't keep a person (or pony in this case) down because they tell you to. Honestly, I would actually agree with them on this one. After seeing things that they caribou have done in Ponyville, I would personally just march right into Canterlot and kill their king, ending the occupation once and for all. However, I didn't know how powerful he was at the time, and marching on him would probably be a death sentence for me. I didn't know how powerful he is. He defeated the Princesses, who can MOVE THE FRECKIN SUN!!!! I think anyone with their right mind would try to wait for the right chance to take him on. But that doesn't mean that I am afraid of him. If I am to help the resistance and to take back Equestria, then I would probably need all the help I could get.

You know what they saw: you only live once.

"I've made it this far, might as well go an extra mile." I said. "I'll do it." I was really glad I could help some people, or in this case, ponies. You know, it's kind of funny really. One day I'm a normal teenage and the next, I'm fighting against a regime with a demon army.

This almost sounds like a worst teenage romance novel. I hope not.

She was practically beaming when I said that. I swear, her gin almost split in half. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou." She said quickly while smothering me with a hug. A hug wouldn't even bother me, except my head ended up in her boobs.

Okay, this defiantly is some sort of horrible novel.

She released me and looked me in the eyes. "You have no idea how relived I am to hear you say that. You really are some sort of savior." With that, she walked right out the door, but not before say. "And a cute one at that."

Yep.............she said that.

I heard Tirek snickering from beside me. I looked up at him and gave him a look. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing." Tirek said. "It's just.......I've never seen this sort of thing in ages." It was probably me, but.... I say something in his eyes, one that I've never seen since I've meet him.

Sadness.

It was probably just me. "Well, if your done mocking me,” I got out of my chair. "we have a lot of planning to do."

"You’re not seriously suggesting do this?" He gave me a look like I was planning something stupid. "What are you going to do is beyond stupid, you know that?"

"Why not?" I asked. "I already have an army. All I have to do is just march up there and they will surrender."

He shook his head. "It's not easy as you think. Even if you could march up at the gates, they will never surrender. There are two things a caribou is good at: fighting and fucking. They will fight you to protect what they fuck." He is right. They probably won't surrender easily, even if I have a scary army behind me. They'll fight to the death to kept their slaves than give in. Guess I'll have to pressure them.

"Well, unless we convince them otherwise, then I'll just have to fight them on." I explained. Not a very good plan, but at least it was something. I'm sure the Daedra could whip up some siege engines to take down the wall. Or magic. I noticed that he had a grin on his face. It wasn't a grin that was mocking me, but a mischievous one. One that you would get if you stole something, or about to do something bad. ".... what?" I asked him.

His grin only grew. "I think I have a plan that might help you."

Now, I'm going to be bloody honest with you. When she told me what their leader expects of me, I was freakin scared. On the one hand, I have to take an entire city back from a species that manipulates people with ease. Kind of like a vampire. And since I raid them twice now, they would probably have reinforced every city now, which would make taking the city more difficulty than ever. On the other hand, I have a demon army from a video game at my command. Maybe I do have a chance, but can't take any risks. Sieging them out may sound cool like something out of a video game, but let’s not forget some of the magic things that the caribou have, like the Gateway.

Oh, you don't know what it is? I guess this calls for an explanation.

When the caribou took over Canterlot, and some of Equestria, they were faced with a lot of resistance, as Nightingale said. Now this surprised the caribou. They thought that they were "liberating the males from their feminine masters". Now this actually confused me. Nightingale explained to me that Equestria had a 2:1 ratio of males and females, with the latter have more than the other. That doesn't mean that stallions were a rarity, but they were outnumbered by a little. This around the time that Dainn took the throne from his father, King Stronghoof of the Stronghoof tribe, by murdering him. King Dainn found out about Equestria, and launched a "crusade" against them. Even after they took Canterlot, the ponies tried to resist. There was riots on the street, new slave stores destroyed, and multiple city's lost. Hell, they had only one city under control, and that was Canterlot. The reason to this was that he held a parade to celebrate his victory, and showed the people that he was in control by fucking their princesses. He would even give them to some caribou to have fun with. All in public. He was still worried that his invasion would fail. He soon found out about the Crystal Heart and took everything he has up north. He succeeded and, with the Crystal Cock, had Equestria under his control. He still feared that a rebellion would spring up at any time. So he had his finest mages and scientist from all across Equestria to come with a solution. That solution is the Gateway. It's kind of hard to explain, but it basically teleports anyone, even an army, to various cities and towns so they can keep anything under control.

But there was a problem with that, one that I plan to exploit.

In order for the Gateway to work, and to teleport one army to wherever they like, it had to be connected to another Gateway. This was a critical thing that the caribou overlooked when designing it, so they would have to have security 24/7 on the portal itself. Another thing that they overlooked was that it was small. The Gateways were roughly the size of a shack, which means that one soldier had go through at a time. It may seem like a big problem for me, but I play my cards right, I could shut it down before they could send any reinforcements.

This meant that sieging them wasn't an option. However, Tirek had a plan.

"You sure this would work?" I asked him as we saw the massive city over the distance. Like before, I was still wearing the Elven armor, more fixed and polished than before. I had my crystal sword on my hip and my shield on my back. I was still getting use to carrying this stuff around. It feels weird. My falcon was perching on my shoulder, watching with awe at the city and what I brought.

After the little exchange with Nightingale, I ordered my.... I don't know. Generals? Advisors? I don't know their ranks pretty well. Well, I do now, but that's not the point. Anyways, I ordered.... smart people, or daemons in this case, to come to the war room and think of a plan. Of course, I already know what the plan was, but I wanted their opinion on this. Kathutet was absolutely ecstatic about said plan. Venom wanted to tear something up, so she didn't care. Xurcuroth was interested, so he was game.

You want to know what the plan is? Just wait and find out.

We moved out as soon as we had a plan. We went with ten thousand Dremora, the same ones that went with Kat to Ponyville. Of course, Rarity, Applejack, Lyra and Bon Bon insisted that I take them to Stalliongrad. They didn't want to stand out of this fight, and wanted to help with whatever I had plan. However, I turned them down. It's not that they're capable of fight. They were the Elements; they've been in bigger fights than this. But I didn't want any civilian casualties. Plus, they've been through a lot already.

After some time, we marched out of the mountain fortress and move some miles towards Stalliongrad. It took us two hours to get there, the sun blazing in the sky. According to my phone, it was 2:35 P.M. by the time we got there. Me and Tirek went to a hillside overlooking the city, to see what we are facing.

The city itself was.......well, something right out of a medieval fantasy. The stone walls stood tall in front of us, banners of the caribou fluttering in the wind. The stone themselves were red, which suspected that their bricks or some special stone. Towers loomed in the distance. The city itself was medieval-like, stone buildings with stray roofs. There were some modern apartments and stores that mixed into the old buildings. Past the city itself was a second wall, and beyond that a castle. The towers in the castles were illuminated by the sun itself. The castle was white with red rooftops. What really caught my eye though was a strange object set up in the middle of a market of sorts. The object was made of stone, set in a circular formation. There were glowing glyphs on the stone itself. A couple of guards were there as well, more armed than the ones I've seen in Ponyville. I think that someone, or caribou had spotted us, because I heard a bell rang inside the city itself. The guards scrambled to work, some of them going to the gate while others stayed where they are. I saw the glyphs glow green, before a blue swirling light appeared inside it. If I had to make a guest, I'd say this was the Gateway that Nightingale was talking about.

"Trust me, I will work." He said. I think he was boasting at the time. "I have drained a lot of magic during my time being free. My hope is that I would be strong enough to defeat Dainn, but I suppose this will do."

I nodded. "Well, lets do this." I said. I adjusted my helm and withdrew my sword and shield. I had my axe in my other hip in case something happened to my sword, and the Razor next to the sword hilt. We moved down the hill and into the front of the army, where we saw the walls in all its glory. These walls were high, almost reaching the sky, to me at least. It didn't matter. These walls were nothing compared to what I have. I looked over my army as I walked, seeing them ready to kill anything. My army were positioned in the front of the city, all of them organized into columns. They were armed with every weapon they had, ranging from swords and maces to greatswords and battleaxes. Some of them didn't even have a helmet, seeing the excitement on their faces. There are also some archers positioned in the back of the army. Sloth said that he would lead a group of assassins into the city, saying something about killing whoever is commanding in there. A group of mages, along with Xavier, formed on a large rock right next to the army. I could feel that they were gathering whatever magic they could get. There were also a few new Dremora that I haven't seen before. The one I saw was different from their cousins, as they had blue skin instead of red. They wore almost no armor at all, save for a loincloth and braces. Their horns were more angular and longer than that of their cousins. They had runes on their six pack chest and around their arms, glowing white with power. They either carried a two handed weapon, or two weapons. They were Berserkers, but not what you would expect. From what Kat told me, they were fashioned after the Orcs, utilizing the berserker rage that they had. They weren't in use during the invasion of the Imperial City. He figured that this would be a good time to bring them out.

Like before, I told them to not harm the civilians, even if they are on the caribou's side. I told them to subdue them if they give them trouble. The rest, which are the caribou in this case, they could kill them. I could tell that they didn't like it, but they obeyed anyway. I'm telling you, I was fucking excited. Here I was, in a fantasy world, leading an army of demons on the world of the mortals. This was like something out of a movie, except that we are the good guys in this story trying to take down the bad guys. It's weird, you know?

Did I also mention that it was starting to rain at the time?

The clouds began to darken, before the rain started to pour down on us. I was lucky that I was wearing armor, but I could still feel the water on my skin. I could hear the drops of water pinging off the armor, or something like that. Then the thunder started to sound in the distance. We were joined by Venom and Kat at the front. Once both Tirek and I got to the front, I said to him. "It's now or never." Tirek nodded, closing his eyes and focusing on the task at hand. I could feel him gathering magic, giving him power. Hell, I could feel my magic being drain. It was almost like a needle draining blood from me. I wasn't left weak during that siege, mind you, but it was creepy. From on top of his horn, a red sphere started to form, growing bigger and bigger by the second. In no time, the sphere was a size of a wheel.

He aimed at the door and fired.

The sphere soon became a laser and, with great speed, flew right to the big metal gate. The blast knocked me right off my feet, landing on my back. The falcon (I should really give it a name) was blown away as well, but quickly recovered thanks to its wings. There was ringing in my ears, as well as some disorientation in my vision. I blinked a few times before getting back on my feet, Venom and Kat helping me up. I dusted my armor of and soon saw what Tirek did.

Let me tell you, magic is so OP.

What remained of the large metal gate was now reduced to being just a twisted melted husk of its old self. It wasn't just the gate that got destroyed. The blast blew off a chunk of the wall surrounding it, before going through towards the city itself. Thankfully, the buildings weren't in the way of the blast, just a large chunk of road were destroyed. I could hear the moaning come from above me and in front of me. Several caribous were wounded.

I was so mesmerized by what happened that I almost lost track on what I was doing. Tirek cleared his throat to get my attention. I snapped out of my trance and looked up at him. He gestured one of his arms towards the gate. "Oh, right." I quickly said. I unsheathed my sword and my shield. I pointed my sword towards the gate and shouted "FORWARD!!" They whole army seemed to have gotten the message, because they all charged in at the ruined gate with a speed that would make any Olympian jealous. They charged towards the gate, disappearing into the smoke. The sound of steel clashing and screams filled the air. The remaining caribou that weren't in the way of the blast started to aim their bows at any Dremora from on top of the wall. The archers on my side started to fire a massive volley onto the wall itself, the arrows hitting some caribou. The mages started firing spell after spell at the wall and over it. One mage aimed his staff at the wall unleashed a beam of light towards it. The wall crumbling it to the ground, some of the Dremora that weren't through the gate saw this opening and ran towards it. I lost sight of Kat and Venom, my guess was that they had charged in with the army. Tirek had started to use his OP magic laser thing to knock down some walls before going in. I started to go after them, disappearing into the smoke.

The battle had finally begun.

I've never been this excited in my entire life! Granted, I was still scared for my life, thinking that it might end by a sword in my chest. I know I've trained for that raid on Ponyville, but it was still a matter of life and death to me. One wrong move, a slight obstacle, could very well kill me. But at the same time, I was so fucking excited! I was part of some fantasy medieval siege that you can only see in video games or movies. Swords clashing to and fro, magic thrown left and right. It almost felt like it was all a dream. Alas, it was not a dream.

The Daedric forces and the caribou clashed at the gate, both sides giving it their all. The forces we were fighting weren't strong, the garrison that we faced was hardly a garrison at all. They did have some armor on them and some weapons, but they didn't fight as soldiers. Even the ones on the walls did nothing to stop them. My Daedric forces mowed the over like it was nothing. I saw one Dremora clashing with a caribou, the latter of which didn't have any armor on save for a helmet and brown long johns. The caribou made a mistake by thrusting his sword at him, but he moved out of the way and used his shield to bash it out of his hands. Wasting no time, he plunged his sword in the gut of the caribou. He moved his sword up a bit, before bringing it out and slicing of his head as he got to his knees. Another Dremora, carrying a greatsword, battled another caribou with a sword and shield. I a flash, the Dremora swung his sword vertically at the caribou. In response, the caribou used his shield to block it. It helped him, but at a cost. The shield he used was wooden, and once the sword mad contact, it shattered into a million pieces. That blow made the caribou stagger a little, enough for the Dremora to swung at his stomach, slicing him in half. The caribou's upper half fell to the ground, and soon his legs.

They weren't the only ones that entered the fray. The mages decided to summon some Archons to do their dirty work. An Earth-type Archon sprang from above the ground next to me when I was battling one of the caribou soldiers. Several Dremora and caribou that were in the way flew some feet. I was lucky I wasn't one of them. Several caribous were standing in front of it when this happened, too terrified to move. This gave the golem enough time to raise its boulder-like fists and smash them to the ground, crushing them into a bloody paste. A Flaming Archon, how had a feminine body, raised its flaming hands towards a group of caribou rushing to support their comrades. Flames erupted from its palms and roasted the caribou alive.

It was total chaos, but we had made progress. The caribou couldn't take enough punishment from us and started to retreat. By this point several big holes were made on the walls, letting the entire army through. What was strange though was the lack of civilians inside the settlement. We went from house to house, searching for anything. There were no civilians. My guess was that once the bell started to rung, they decided to get out of dodge and go somewhere safe. This was good. The last thing I need were civilian casualties, and collateral damage.

The problem with the settlement itself were that some of the streets were too narrow, so we had to file in. Because the army was big, they went in different directions. Our group went down a big road that lead down to the marketplace. There was some resistance during all of this, but they weren't armored like anyone we met. However, our luck was about to run out when we came to the marketplace. The Gateway was active during the siege, so they had enough time to warn the king or whoever was in charge of the military to send reinforcements. The caribou we saw were more armored and, from the look in their eyes, were more experienced than their comrades we face. Their armor looked more Roman-like in my perspective. They had war plums on their helmets, armored with plate-like armor, and had tower shields with swords. They charged us, and we charged them.

I was in the mists of the battle. It felt like I was getting a heart attack, said heart was racing one hundred miles an hour. I didn't know if it was the fear of death, or the excitement of this battle. Either way, it didn't matter to me anymore. I was more concerned about staying alive.

I faced one of the armored caribou in open combat. The caribou thrusted his sword at me, but I blocked it with my shield. I thrust my sword vertically towards him, but he used his shield to block the blow. When my sword made contact, the caribou used his shield to disarm me. The caribou used this time to hit me with his shield. He knocked me down on the ground. He stood right on top of me then used this time to use his shield as some sort of weapon, trying to smash me with it. I was left weaponless, with the exception of the dagger in me belt, but I couldn't reach it. However, that didn't mean I couldn't do something. I kicked my legs right into his armored nuts. The caribou's eyes went wide, before he screamed like a little girl and dropped to the ground next to me. Quickly got up and withdrew my dagger. I jumped on him and stabbed him right in the neck. Being that the weapon is of Daedric origin, the caribou was dead the moment the dagger touched him. I sighed as it was done. I soon got up and found me sword on the ground. I inspected the battle all around me. All around me, the caribou and the Daedra battle each other out. They were at a standstill, if anything. Both of them were more experienced in combat and prowess. There were a few casualties, as the caribou had found a weak pint in the armor. A caribou had driven a sword through an opening in the neck, the Daedra falling dead on the ground. I was worried a little bit, but those fears were evaporated when they struck back. The caribou may be more experienced than the Dremora, but the Dremora themselves were no strangers to war themselves, and were the most experienced than the caribou soldiers. Plus, they were wearing magical armor, so that should at least count for something. A caribou tried to drive his sword on the Daedra, but he used his shield of block it, and with a sleigh of hand, plunged his war axe against the neck of the caribou soldier. Another Dremora swung his warhammer at another caribou soldier. The caribou blocked it with his shield, but he was knocked of his hooves as a result. The caribou was on his back. The Dremora loomed over him, raising his hammer above his head. Then he drove it down and killed the caribou, the head turned into a bloody mess. I even saw Jedrus and Bill working surround a caribou. The caribou turned his head, watching both of them in case they did anything stupid. Jedrus strike at him first, swinging his great axe from above his head. The caribou guard blocked it with his shield, but this left him in the open. Bill swung his mace at the caribou, striking him in the head. This staggered him, leaving Jedrus a chance to strike at him. He swung his axe vertically and hit his armor vertically, even slicing through his armor. This separated the caribou's left arm from his entire body. The caribou scream, but it was silenced when Bill's mace hit him in the head. Its head flew some feet. They "high-fived" each other before going back into battle.

I looked around the place to see where the Gateway was. It didn't take me long to find it, but not in a good way. The Gateway was being moved on a large platform with wheels across another large bridge that connected to the marketplace. Another wall stood that separated the town. My guess was that it was another section of the city, probably for rich ponies. What really impressed me was a castle right on top of a hill overlooking the district. I didn't know where they got the platform from, or how they even lifted the damn thing while all of this was happening, but it was bad news for me. If that Gateway goes through the gate, then they can keep spawning guards, or maybe an entire army. What separated me from the Gateway was the guards still fighting the Daedra, some of them turning their attention to me.

I got my sword out and into a battle ready stance. While this was happening, my phone must have been activated somehow, because it was starting to play a song

I breathed in and out, get myself relaxed. 'You can do this' I encouraged myself. 'No pressure. This isn't the first time you done this. Just remember your training. You are prepared for this.' The guards started to converge on me, surrounding me. There were several of them. I cracked my neck, the bone snaps echoed through the battle. I started channeling magic in my other hand, which was caring the shield. I was prepared as fuck.

I made a gesture that said 'come at me, bro!'

The first caribou started charging me. I merely stepped out of the way and sliced his gut open with my sword. Another one charged me, swinging his sword towards my head. I blocked it out of the way with my shield and stabbed him in the gut. The two decided to charge me at the same time, thinking they could confuse me. The first one got to me. With my sword still in the caribou's gut, I swung him around, catapulting him and the other one away from me. The second one swung his large great axe downward. I stepped out of the way and sliced his gut open. I then drove my sword towards his head. He twitched before laying limp on the floor. The surviving members decided to jump at me all at once. Using my magic, I teleported behind one of them. Let me tell you, teleporting sucks. It’s like you've got out of a roller coaster that had twist and turns. I (surprised) snapped the caribou's head by grabbing onto them and twisting its head left. He went down. The two of them sprang into action. At the last second, I got out of the way just as they swung their swords. One of the caribou's swords struck the other, a slash on his face. He went down. The last one stood still, probably in horror. It didn't matter, as I stabbed him in the back with my sword.

After the little skirmish, I soon ran towards the Gateway that was already halfway across. It would have been easier if some of the caribou didn't attack me. One of them did, after dealing with a Dremora. He swung his sword sideways, but I dodged and slashed him across the chest, all the while moving. A Dremora and a caribou continue to duke it out. Without stopping, I slashed the caribou across the back. It didn't kill him, but it staggered and screamed as it tried to use his hands to claw at its back. This gave the Dremora a chance to attack him, stabbing him in the gut.

I was already at the bridge and running across it. By this point, the Gateway as already at the gate, waiting for it to open. The caribou that were guarding it soon saw me coming for them. The shouted something over at the guards behind the gate. The caribou at the walls drew their bows and started firing arrows at me. I raised my shields as the arrows came down. Some of them missed while others hit my shield. A caribou was trying to charge me while I was distracted, but thankfully I noticed his battle cry throughout the carnage. I dodged out of the way of his battle axe and, using momentum, grabbed his body and swung him in front of me. The arrows continued to come down, some of them hitting the caribou I used as a meat shield. He screamed in pain for a second before five arrows hit his chest and his neck, ending his life. Once I was out of the way of the archer’s fire, I threw the body down and stopped towards the entrance. The caribou had gotten more reinforcements by this point, a whole company meeting me. Using my magic behind the shield, I was about to freeze them, but fate decided to shit on my day. Instead, electricity jolted out of my hand and into the crowd of enemies. Added to the face they had metal armor on and that it was raining, their bodies started to jolt, screaming as their flesh was being electrocuted and burning. The electricity ended. What was left were a fresh plie of ashes.

I was stunned for a second, but remember what I needed to do. With as much magic as I could muster, I put my hands out and channeled said magic. This resulted in a fireball the size of a basketball. I released said ball on the moving Gateway. I was also lucky that I released the spell just in time. The Gateway had already moved to the other side of the wall. However, they didn't close the gate, which gave me a chance to destroy it. Releasing both my hand, the large fireball traveled like a bullet towards the Gateway. A caribou had just come out of the Gateway and saw the massive fireball coming at him, his eyes wide with fear.

The ball was sucked into the Gateway, along with the caribou.

"......" I was speechless on what I saw. I wanted to just destroy it, not let it be sucked in! "WHAT TH-"

The Gateway exploded in a ball of light. It wasn't just any normal explosion either. This one was big, big enough to destroy the gate and everyone close to it. Me? I was thrown some yards away, right across the bridge, mind you. I then landed on the ground next to some stall that sell......what I assume is some sort of shampoo. My ears were ringing, mute the sounds all around me. My vision was haze too, so I couldn't see what was happening. I didn't know how long that happened, but a Dremora soldier pulled me up on my feet. My hearing return, along with my vision. I could hear the Daedric saying something in his tongue. Thankfully, I know what he was saying. I told him that I was alright. I looked all around me to see what was going on. The caribou soldiers were dead, and reinforcements from my side arrived in the marketplace, probably to check to see what the explosion was. A few caribou soldiers were still alive, but heavily wounded on the ground. The Dremora wasted no time in killing them swiftly. A caribou soldier missing a right arm was moaning on the ground. Standing over him was a Daedra. He plunged his sword in its gut, ending his life swiftly. There were more Dremora coming towards the ruined wall, racing across the bridge and into the second layer of the city. The sounds of fighting were heard.

"You seem to be alright." A voice saw from beside me. Turning around, I saw Kat and Venom entering the courtyard, both of them bearing marks of war. Both of their armors were covered in blood, almost like it was part of their armor. There were also a few dents here and there, but nothing serious. "That was one hell of an explosion." Kat commented. "What happened?"

"The portal thing was being moved." I explained what had happened. I winced when I felt pain in my arm, blood dripping out of some of the openings. Thankfully, there was a mage coming towards me. With his staff close to my arm, I could already feel my arm being healed. The healing spells were.... strange. It felt like my skin was being stitched up, but without a needle or thread. "They were moving it to the other side. I had to do something, so I raced across the bridge and fired a spell at it."

"Yeah." Bill and Jedrus joined us. Both of them didn't have a helmet, so I could see excitement on their faces. "You should have seen it. He was like a Khaijit, only he wasn't running away from some guards. He hacked and slashed through every caribou to get to whatever we were getting." Bill said.

"Indeed." Venom commented. "Seems you took it a little too far. Not that I'm complaining."

I chuckled. "If you were in my shoes, I think you would do the same thing."

"Your right in a sense." Kat said. He looked over the ruined fortification. "You weren't the only one that destroyed this 'Gateway' device. We have managed to intercept one before it could even escape. The guards were busy fighting our troops, which gave us a chance to destroy it."

"It's amazing how much you can accomplice with some barrels full of sulfur near them." Venom said in a matter of fact. Hm, barrels of sulfur. Wonder what they were going to do with it? Probably stop our progress somehow. "We also heard Xurcuroth and Tirek captured one as well. Xurcuroth is taking it back to the castle for study."

My arm was now fully healed. I could barely feel any pain. It's really amazing how much you could get done with some magic on your side. "How many of them are there?"

"We don't know." Kat answered. "We can assume that they have all been eliminated since we're still alive." Kat looked at ruined gate. "At any rate, we should get moving before more reinforcements arrive."

I nodded. "Let's get moving then." All of us started to move on the city beyond the wall. Hopefully this would all go according to plan.

"WHEREISITWHEREISITWHEREISITWHEREISIT?!?!?!?" Mayor Sextus looked around his room for his belongings, and other things of value. He would not let some of his things be in the hands of these.... female barbarians!

It started an any normal day for Sextus. He woke up, fucked his slave, ate breakfast, fucked his slave, did his work, and fucked his slave. Sure, the paperwork part was boring, but someone has to look after this town. He was the mutual chose in the matter. Once he finished his paperwork, he was about to fuck his slave like usually, until a guard started barging in his room. Sextus demeaned an explanation for the intrusion. The guard said that there was a large army outside, the likes of which he had never seen before. The guard had also told him that they raised the alarm and are currently moving the civilians and their slaves towards the castle that he lived in. At first, Sextus was about to tell him to fuck off, but then the castle rumbled, and he heard a big explosion coming from outside. He ran towards the window and saw smoke coming from the city walls, and thousands of black things charging towards it. He decided that this battle wasn't for him. He ordered his guard to have an airship ready for him. The guard saluted and went on his way.

Throwing clothes everywhere and searching every cabinet, it took him several seconds before he remembers where he put it. He slapped himself for being such and idiot. He moved towards a painting of some fancy place. He lifted his hands up and removed it from the wall, revealing a small safe behind the painting. His hands move towards the dial and turned it. After sometime, he heard a click inside, and the safe opened. Inside the safe, there were some gold bars and several bags of bits. He sighed in relief. If this city is going to fall, he wasn't going empty handed. He reaches inside and grabbed everything in the safe, putting it in his suitcase.

"Cock?" His slave said. She was currently leashed to his bed, spreading her legs for her master. She is a grey Earth pony with an orange main and tail, her cutie mark consisted of a pair of mittens.

"Not now, Slut Cock." Sextus said. "We'll do it once we get out of this horrid city." He closed the suitcase and locked it. "Honestly, why can't I just have a normal day without something happening?"

"Maybe you should be more concerned about how you’re going to get out of here." A new voice said in a smart tone. Sextus was about to turn around and glare at whoever said that, but frozen in fear when he saw who it was. A mysterious figure, clad in dark armor the likes of which he never seen before, was at the doorway. In its hands was a bow, with an arrow already loaded. He opened his mouth so he could call his guards, when the assassin said. "I wouldn't call your guards over here. They are already dead."

He gulped. This is bad. Someone, or something, was about to kill him. However, maybe he could reason with it. "Look, I don't know how much your employer is paying you to kill me, but if you leave me alive I can make worth your while." He smiled as he did that. He was telling the truth. He could pay him whatever he wants, as long as he was out of harm’s way.

The figure chuckled. "I so love how you mortals operate. Paying your way out of trouble. It amuses me to no end." He started to come close to him. "You think minor trinkets would help me chance my mind? You are wrong." He stopped halfway. "I do hope they have a very special place for you. In Oblivion." He released the arrow. Sextus was too slow to dodge out of the way.

Pain soon erupted from his stomach as the arrow hit him. He backed up to a wall, kneeling over. His vision was blurry; coldness was felt in his skin. He blinked a few times as his vision started to fade. He heard footsteps coming towards him. He felt a sharp object pressed to his throat. "You shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning."

He felt the pain in his throat, and soon felt nothing.
