Chapter 5: In Which I Battle a Dark, Magey... Horse?

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I woke up Mortimer after the shocking conversation. I bothered him to give me a sidequest. He said no. I was displeased. I went to the anvil and I found out I could upgrade the saddles. I made my dragon saddle first a yellow, then green saddle with 12, then 24 of the magic shards. I also upgraded my windigo saddle with 30 magic shards and it was now an adult. I walked outside of my room and Amber and Thermite are green dragons. Mortimer is Blue. I asked Mortimer about Dragon Hieriarchy. "Dragons go by a color system. The lowest is orange. An earth pony can defeat an orange. Next is yellow. An experienced unicorn can take them down. Green follows, they can face down a small team of ponies or a large team if their smart. Next up is blue, what I am. Blues are where the ponies send massive groups. Blues are the last area they even know about. They know plenty on Orange, less on yellow, even less on green, next to nothing on blue but ponies would love to get a hold on a purple dragon!" He glowered.

"Don't you mean ahold of?"

"No. A hold on a purple dragon. Espescially if it was a multicolored, like purple and green. They'd keep him on a leash, feed him gems and plants instead of gems and meat, teach him those stupid pony mannerisms they are adopting under those deities, emasculate him or make him emasculate himself as much as possible and make him fall in love with a pony so he wouldn't betray them. He wouldn't have freedom and they'd treat him like a child until he's bigger and they kick him out so another harsher dragon can kill him. Where was I, oh yes, purples. A purple is enough to call Celestia in. A red and they have to send Luna. A white they have to send both and they couldn't deal with a black if they tried. Once we get into multicolored wthey need at least 30 heroes to deal with an orange and yellow one. If they got a purple and green one they'd probably try to burn the excess mana off by using something as wasteful as using dragonfire to send messages! It's just ridiculous! Stupid ponies... bah! Is there anything I can help you with?

Achievement Unlocked:Curiosity, Asked a dragon NPC about the dragon hieriarchy. Huh... interesting.

"Nothing right now. I'll talk to you later," I had a lot to think about. The Ice King's Crown wasn't the summon I was looking for. It was something that Summons the Windigo King. Damn it.

I guess I have to go to this kingdom. I mounted the newly adult windigo with my Spectral Beast Windigo following behind me. I landed on the ground and switched to the dragon mount. It moved faster than when it was an orange saddle and dragon. It wasn't as fast as the windigo so I switched back. I flew farther. I knew that I went the wrong way when I saw the ocean.

I flew all the way back to the cave for three, fucking, hours! I flew another way and by luck found a civilization. It was made of a crystalline substance. What's more, I saw a bunch of ponies without horns! I thought that it would be like... one type of pony per map. I guess not. I dismounted the windigo and took off the Windigo Wristband so it wouldn't seem as thratening. I walked in. All of the ponies stared at me.

I heard muffled whispers of things like "a windigo tamer..." and "it actually succeeded..." while I was gawked at like a white guy in a KFC at Detroit.

A pony came up to me, it was dressed in what looked like platinum armor. "Would you please come to see the King? He wants to see you,"

"Alright," He motioned for me to follow him and I did. I checked the buffs and the prisoner buff wasn't there. He took me to a palace which would look garish if it was pink. It was black though, as if it were corrupted. It did look badass but I did think I knew what this kingdom meant for my quest. As we walked I talked with him. Apparently the bigoted racism existed in all three races. While I was dead the ponies found these messiahs that had the traits of all three races. Wings, horns, strong hoove and power stronger than each seperately. I can just imagine a pony saying something like This isn't even my final form! and transforming into an alicorn, as I found they were called. I also found out the racist term for unicorns is, and I quote... bonehead. Seems less scathing than mud pony, but that's just me.

When we got inside the palace I saw in a room we passed, a simultaneously light and dark sword embedded in a crystal. It looked like the beam sword sprite had sex with a boss summoner and this was the lovechild. I suddenly knew how I would aggro the king. The guard took me to the throne room. I saw a grey unicorn with a curved horn and a black mane. He had an amazing looking glow aroung his eyes. It fit the bill for corruption. I wished I didn't have to kill him.

"Announcing a windigo tamer from outside the city. He has a windigo with him, Your Majesty," He looked nervous.

"Announcing our king, Sombra the Great! Hunter of Dragons, Exterminator of Changelings..." He looked squeamish at that. There was a huge list of titles that ended with "and King of the Crystal Empire!"

"Greetings, my name is Sombra and I have need of your aid. We have recently been beset with a dragon problem. A black, white and blood red dragon attacked our city. We would like to see if you could aid us in defeating it. Dragons have a deepseated hatred of windigoes. Their elemental affinity is opposite," He just came out of his ass with that one. I talked with Amber after she questioned me. She said that the dragons have a peace treaty with the windigoes so that they each can have their own territory. He tried to lie to me so I would kill a dragon! That bastard! "We would appreciate if you would go defeat it?"

I put on my wristband and in front of them my windigo pet grew into a teenager before their eyes and my crown started glowing. I poked the gemand said alright. I walked back to the hallways and mounted the adult windigo. It materialised and I heard a sound like glass breaking. "I can talk to windigoes so if you are lying I'll get some more windigoes and attack," What I didn't know was that all of the windigoes in the tundra were flying to my location. I went into the room with the sword and mined at the crystal while on my windigo. As soon as I finished the sword went into my inventory. I switched it out for my Ice Blade because it had 15 more damage. It was also much faster. I saw a message saying:

Tyrant King Sombra has awoken!

Sadly I had to fight him, I broke through the wall and flew outside. What I saw outside surprised me. I saw an army of at least 500 windigoes, about 1 in 30 were badass children. I even saw three matriarchs constantly spawning more windigoes. I then saw Sombra. He was cutting swathes through them. I flew to him and hit him once with the Blade of Kings. A blade of a dark mage. It likes stairs.. It did twice as much damage than it said on the tin without the critical hit. I then saw his health... 4500 health. Even with the seventy damage it would take a long time because as soon as I attacked him he burst into a cloud of smoke and flew away. The windigoes helped but it still took three hours. As soon as he 'died' he dropped a treasure bag and disappeared. The windigoes flew away as soon as he left.

I opened the bag and there was some cool stuff. Cape of Shadows Dash ability: Can dash into a cloud of smoke without taking damage and has a one in five chance of either corrupting an enemy to your side or trapping them in their worst fear. Oh, shit... It's amazing! I got three gold coins, 68... Dark Crystal Shards? Huh... anyways... a boss summon item called Horn of Sombra. Summons a Shade of Sombra there were also a type of arrows... Crystal Arrows. Okay... I can dig it. I went to the obligatory smithy, because every castle has a smithy. I saw the recipe that the crystals made. I could upgrade the Blade of Kings and twenty crystal shards to a... Blade of Kings+1. Are you fucking kidding me? Unoriginal much? It had five more damage so I was grateful. I upgraded it again with forty more shards. It became a Blade of Kings+2 *sigh*.

I also made a Dark Shard Bow. It was about as powerful as the demonite bow. It shot three arrows for the cost of one, which I tested on the three guys that came up behind me. They all dropped Sombra Horn Pieces... huh? Meh. the arrows pierced them. I walked out and used the Sombra Horn Piece while riding my windigo.

Shade of Sombra has awoken!

This time it didn't take as long because of my upgraded blade as well as I realized that without the windigoes he took more damage. The treasure bag dropped mostly the same loot, except for three things: Five Sombra Horn Pieces were dropped instead of a full horn, There was only sixty shards and the cape had Copy at the end. I crafted another horn at a crystalline altar I found in the palace. I killed him again and he dropped the same loot minus one horn piece. I crafted it again as well as upgraded my blade once more. I wanted to upgrade it to +4 but I required some shadow scales, and(?) tissue samples... okay. I'll get it eventually. I wanted to fight him again but before I could, a voice yelled "STOP!" I stopped. I turned around. There was a white... alicorn I guess, that had a warhammer, as well as the one that invaded my mind. She had a sword.

"You have exactly no time to explain why you killed an equine in front of us," What a bitch...

"That equine, as you so kindly stated him as, was a shade of the tyrant King Sombra. A creature known as a slaver and hunter of two seperate sentient races. He also attacked first," She didn't look convinced. "He also didn't die. He shadowburst somewhere else," At this the alicorns levitated weapons at me. "If you think I could be defeated with weapons, you're wrong. If you kill me I'll go back to a set location after a brief time," They then looked downright hostile. "I'm not undead," I said with a deadpan look. The white one loosened up while the blue one tensed up for some reason.

"We knew that we knew that voice, that is the creature that hast knowledge of the World Destroyer,"

"Leave out the World in it's name," They both attacked at my legs. They looked shocked when their attacks 'didn't damage me'. In reality it couldn't be more different. I ended up with one life. I held back a noise of pain to intimidate them. "Did you really think that those pieces of metal could harm me? I am above your plane of understanding," They looked insulted. I mounted my windigo. Their jaws dropped when it appeared from nowhere.

"Teleportation magic..."

"Nope... do you sense teleportation magic anywhere around here?"

"In an artifact on your person,"

"Anywhere else?"

"No," She looked confused and curious, "I don't. How is that?" Not telling you my secrets.

"I'm above your plane of understanding. You ain't got shit on me."

"Sister, let us hit him with the elements! Nothing has stopped them yet!" The what now?

"I thought they were a last resort. We can't blast everything with them," I'm getting disturbed.

"This creature obviously requires them. Mjolnir and Tizona hast not failed us before," Those weapons... I want them, I want them so bad.

They pulled out six orbs that radiated a malevolent force. The orbs swirled around them and shot out a rainbow. I know what rainbows do in Terraria. They hurt, a lot. I tried to dodge. I jumped straight up twice my height. The rainbow went under me. I sensed it curving around and coming up behind me. I changed directions mid jump, like a boss. It went around me. It almost hit me after five minutes of dodging and the sisters looking exasperated while they had to keep channeling it. It got faster. I sprinted in a straight direction and kept on running at double my speed.

Achievement Unlocked: Deny Fate; Run from the Personal Rainbow Cannon for 1337 seconds.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I stopped sensing the massive power. The rainbow went to a standstill, or at least that's what I thought. I then saw the rainbow behind it to start shrinking. I laughed because it was going to stop before it hit me. What I didn't count on was that it got faster as it got smaller. It hit me and instantly turned me to stone. No theactrics with me.

Achievement Unlocked:Get Stoned;Exactly what it sounds like.

You cheeky bastard.

Author's Notes:

Does anyone have feedback?
Remember the beginning and the dragon colors, good. Now remember Dragonshy. Just imagine if the dragon was actually hostile.
The politics ranking goes like this Polychromatic>White and Black>White and Color>Black and Color>Duocolored>White>Black>Deep Red>Red>Purple>Blue>Green>Yellow>Orange>Grey.
Power scale, switch black and white.

Coming Up: Will the royal sisters ever face the coonsequences for getting Terry (short for Terrarian) stoned? Will the ponies want to try? Will the sisters ever give out mass stonings? Find out next time on Drago... seriously, stop it... Displaced Terrarian.

Next Chapter: In Which I Beat Some Horse Meat Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 33 Minutes
