With Ice and Blades
Chapter 4: Chapter 3 - Twilight and friends
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"So Twilight, how has the search for the human come?" Asked Celestia as she sat in a long white and gold gown, she had recently arrived at Twilight's Castle with her sister Luna, who was wearing a Onyx and midnight blue dress, also with them was the Princess of the Crystal Kingdom, in a short pink dress while her Wife was in her Purple and Gold trimmed armour.
"Unfortunately apart from the incident with the Changeling, we hav..... " Twilight was saying before the Guard Princess cocked an eyebrow.
"What incident little sis?" She asked.
"Well there was Changeling Assassin from Chrysalis's Hive after Applejack but the Human ...." Luna interrupted Twilight mid sentence.
"Vadik" Luna said.
"What?" Twilight asked.
"That's his Name.... I learnt it when I entered his memory" She said as Twilight nodded.
"Well Glimmer, Vadik saved AppleJack, Froze the lake by her farm and defeated the assassin" She explained as Glimmer nodded.
"I guess I'll have to thank him when I see him" Celestia stated.
"Among other things" Luna added quietly causing Celestia's ears to flatten but before anypony could say anything a tall violet Dragoness entered the room in a dark green hoodie and tracksuit pants.
"Hey Twi, AppleBloom is here and she has something important to show you" she said as Twilight nodded.
"Thank you Barb" she said as the younger yellow mare entered the room in a red flannel top and short ripped jeans. "Hey AppleBloom, What's up".
"W-well Ma new Friend Vadik is in Need of help" She said shrinking slightly at the sight of of the three other Alicorns.
"Did you say Vadik?" Luna said standing from her seat as AppleBloom nodded. "Show us" she said as all the other mares rose and followed AppleBloom.
"How did you come across him?" Celestia asked.
"U-um well Sweetie, Pip, Scootaloo and I rushed out of Sugercube Corner and we all fell on him, we talked ta him and then he helped us around on questing but then when he discovered that Lyra was in Canterlot.... well you'll see" she said nervously as they turned a corner to see the human gently headbutting a wall repeatedly.
"Come on Vadik, she will be back in a couple of days" Scootaloo said as Vadik simply grunted.
"I Fucking walked for a full day to get here only to discover that this Fucking Lyra is in the fucking place I just walked from" he growled slamming his fist into the Wall, causing his arm to go through the wall, he gave his arm a tug and groaned before headbutting the wall. "And now my arm is stuck" he growled.
"Don't Worry, AppleBloom will be back with Twilight" Sweetie said.
"Um and Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance and Princess Glimmer Shield" Pip said.
"And why would those four come?" Scootaloo asked as Pip pointed behind Scoots making her turn to see the princesses. "Oh" she said just as Vadik jerked backwards, ripping his arm free with a chunk of the wall around it.
"Close enough". He muttered before grabbing the chunk of wall and slowly removed his arm before noticing the new arrivals and the familiar white and blue Alicorns. "Well if it isn't little miss blaster bitch" he said as Celestia frowned at him. "Hey you invaded my dreams and blasted me".
"I had good reason" She said as Vadik cocked his eyebrow.
"Um Vadik" Sweetie said but He ignored her.
"And what was this reason Fat ass" he said stepping forward.
"Who are you calling fat ass!" Celestia shouted, her mask nonexistent at that moment.
"Vadik" Scootaloo said but was also ignored.
"Well that ass of yours could cause an eclipse" he stated.
"So you have been looking at my Flank then Pervert!" She shouted making him laugh.
"Like I had a choice" he replied.
"Vadik!" Shouted the three younger mares.
"What?" He asked looking at them.
"Your arm" Sweetie said as Vadik look at his undamaged left arm. "The other arm" she added making him look to see the skin where the wall sat was torn and large amounts of blood was pouring from the wound.
"Oh Shit, When did that happen?" He asked.
"When you twisted the chunk of wall off your arm" Twilight said as Vadik nodded.
"Well that was stupid of me" he chuckled as most of the ponies look slightly green or pale.
"Maybe we should get you to a hospital" the pink Alicorn mare known as Cadence said.
"Nah, I've had worse" he said as his left hand began to glow a soft golden colour before he held it an inch above the wound. "Its nothing I can't heal on my own." He informed them.
"Well then I believe some apologies are needed before we continue" Luna said as Vadik removed his hand to reveal a jagged scar.
"Fine.... I am sorry Alabaster" Vadik said as Luna shook her head.
"Not you..... you" she said pointing at Celestia.
"But Luna, you can't be serious" The white alicorn said.
"I am" Luna replied as Celestia sighed.
"Fine.... my apologies for attacking you Vadik" She said as he shrugged.
"Sure, whatever, give me access to information" he said crossing his arms.
"Deal" Celestia said as Vadik nodded.
"Good, now it's late so I shall go set up camp" he said turning to leave but was stopped by Twilight.
"Wait, i have some rooms in my castle that unoccupied" She said.
"And why would you allow me into your home?" He asked curious.
"You saved my best friend.... it's the least I could do" she said as he thought for a moment.
"I guess it is better than sleeping outside" he stated.
"So that's a yes?" She asked as he nodded. "Great" she said before turning to the Dragoness. "Barb, can you take him back to the castle please" she asked as Barb nodded and gestured for the human to follow him, which he did, only to stop next to Luna.
"Stay out of head" he stated causing Luna to cock an eyebrow.
"And if you have a nightmare?" She asked.
"I don't care, just stay out" he said to her before he continued following the violet Dragoness. After several minutes, the two reached the giant crystal palace causing Vadik to look up at it. "How did I miss that?" He asked before looking back down to see Barb holding the door open for him, so with a nod, he entered only to be grabbed and forced against the Crystal wall by the Dragoness.
"Why do you smell like dragons?" She growled causing Vadik to laugh.
"Is this what this is about?" He asked laughing.
"Stop laughing and tell me" she demanded as he gently gripped her hands and removed them from his armour.
"Well I would have told you of you asked nicely" he said as he smiled.
"Fine..... please tell me" she said as she yanked her hands free of his grip.
"Well give me your best theory and I'll tell you if you are right" he said as she frowned.
"You part Dragon?" She asked as he shook his head. "Have a pet Dragon?" She questioned as he shook his head again." Um.... you recently had sex with one?" She asked as once again he shook his head again. "Then what?" She asked.
"Well my clan lived in a monster infested mountain range where we had to go from prey to Predator so, my ancestors used an ancient rituals to bind seven different dragons to our clan thus giving us increased strength, speed, size and made us monsters of men" he said as she looked at him confused.
"Why not just move?" She asked.
"Well for one, it was sort of my ancestors pride, two it gets you nowhere to run away from difficulty" he said to her.
"Okay so wait, you are part Dragon then?" She asked.
"No... not genetically, the essence of the Ancient Dragons or also known as Primal Dragons is through the consumption of a special potion, a potion mixed with their blood and a few other ingredients, this potion is given to clan members when they are roughly ten year of age so the blood can properly infuse with them" he said as she nodded. "It also helps with the use of magic as each of the Primal Dragons used a different element, the Black dragon used acid, the Red dragon used fire, the Gold dragos used lightening and the White dragon used Ice" he said as he stretched which resulted in several loud pops and cracks. "I can go on about this for a couple hours but I am quite tired" he said.
"Okay well, let me show you to your room" she said causing him to nod before the two headed off down a hallway until Barb stopped outside a room. "Here is your room" she said handing him a small key before she left, he watched her for a moment before he unlocked the door and entered the room before relocking the entrance. Once it was locked, he dumped his equipment on the floor and stripped his armour from his body before laying down on the bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.
(Following late Morning)
Vadik was awoken by a loud rapid knocking, causing him to groan and sit up only for him to feel like his upper right arm was on fire along with his head. "Damn... fucking.... Yea? Who is it?" He asked.
"It's me" said a happy voice causing his expression to change to a unamused look.
"Pinkie he hasn't met you yet Darling" said another, more elegant voice.
"Why don't we just enter the room?" Asked a brash voice.
"Cause one, he may be naked, two it’s impolite and three, the door is locked" said the second voice again as Vadik shook his head before sliding off the bed and began attacking his armour while listening to the voices bicker.
"Hey look Twilight has finally finished setting up" said another voice which was similar to AppleBloom's.
"Twi, he locked the door" stated the brash voice "do you have an extra key?" She asked.
"Yes I do but..." she was saying ask Vadik grabbed the rest of his stuff and opened the door. "Oh Morning Vadik" the violet mare said happily as Vadik looked her up and down and noticed she was in star covered purple pajamas which held snugly against her c cup bust making him cock an eyebrow. He then looked to the other mares, one had a rainbow mane and a pair of wings, she was only six foot 4 and was in a white tank top and short black shorts, her outfit left little to the imagination. To his immediate left was the six foot eight orange mare from the morning before in a yellow flannel and jeans that covered her curvy form, on her head was the same stenson that Vadik saw the day before. On Vadik's opposite flank was a white six foot six unicorn mare in a short silver gown, her mane was long, purple and curly.
"Good morning, um I swear I heard another" he said looking around.
"Yes that was Pinkie Pie darling but she ran off after seeing you.... probably to organise one of her parties" explained the white mare as Vadik nodded slowly.
"Right" he said.
"My name is Rarity by the way" she said offering her hand as he took it before lowering himself as he kissed her hand making her blush. "Oh" she said as he straightened back up.
"It's a pleasure to meet you" he said before turning his gaze to the cyan pegasus mare with the rainbow mane.
"My name is Rainbow Dash, Fastest flyer in Equestria and I have my eye on you" she said crossing her arms and giving him a death glare causing him to chuckle.
"Adorable" he chuckled as he turned his gaze to the Orange mare "Good to see you aren't dead Element of honesty" he said with a smirk.
"Um... thanks ah think... by the way it's Applejack" she said as he turned to face the Purple winged unicorn.
"So what now.... Twilight was it?" He asked as she nodded.
"Um I wanted to ask you some questions about your world and you" she asked as Vadik shrugged.
"As long as I can get access to information, I'm game.” He said.
