Heaven

I continued to follow the bright light. I wasn't sure how long had been walking or how much time had passed. But I just ignored that as I continued to follow the light. Then the light faded away, and I found myself looking at a large stone building with gothic architecture. It looked like an old church you would see in England. Two massive towers sat on either end of the front gate. Each tower had a stain glass window in the uppermost part of the tower. I walked up the steps to the large double front doors. The doors were wood with nothing much else about them.

I placed my hands on each side of the door and began to push them open. The sound of old metal was screeching as I pushed the doors. The sound echoed around the inside of the church. I stopped as I looked at the large hall in front of me. Pews lined the center allowing ponies to sit and worship. In all my time living in Equestria, I think it's the first church I've seen. I started to walk forward looking at the decor inside. The light from the outside shined through the stained glass windows giving the room a multitude of color. The side windows showed pictures of ponies praising a ball of light. I then came to the front and found a large book on an altar.

I walked up to the altar and touched the book. I found a bookmark and grabbed it. I pulled it over and opened the book to about the middle of it. I looked to see a large picture of a dragon. It had two heads, with one having a red gem on it and the other a blue gem. Red armor covered the neck of the dragon with the red gem, and blue armor for the other head. Two large feathery wings sat on the dragon. One wing had red armor and the other blue. The body was stone head facing upside down. It had a tail and legs, but no hands. Armor covered the rest of the body but wasn't in any particular color. The last thing was the large halo ring that hovered over the dragon. Altogether it looked like Fortitudo from Bayonetta, a game I love.

I saw an inscription at the bottom of the image. It read, "Holy the Crystal Shard Dragon of Light." I guess that's Holy. I ran my hand over the picture as I looked around the church.

"Welcome brother."

I quickly turned around an saw a figure in a brown cloak. I couldn't see the figures face because of a hood. I saw that the mystery person had a male configuration. Around his neck was a necklace with Holy on the end of the chain. I didn't feel anything wrong with the man, so I decided to drop my guard. But not entirely, as I wasn't going to put myself at risk.

"Who are you?" I asked

"I might ask you the same question." He said

"I'm Xavier," I said

"I'm the spiritual leader of the Temple of Holy." He said

"I thought ponies praised Faust," I stated

"They do, but we aren't just a congregation of ponies, we had all creatures of Eques here praising Holy." Said the spiritual leader

"I see, but why do you praise him instead of your gods or goddesses?" I asked

"Holy is the one that brought the light of religion to Eques. From him came the gods and goddesses that creatures praise across Eques. In truth, he's the one true god that all beings of Eques should praise." He paused before beginning to speak again. "So what brings you here, brother?"

"I'm seeking Holy to help me find salvation," I said

"I knew you were here for a reason. Follow me, and I'll lead you to Holy." He said

He began to walk towards a wooden door. I went towards him. He was waiting for me before he pulled a key out from under his sleeve and unlocked the door. He pushed it open and began to walk down the stone hallway. I followed closely behind him.

I started to see a bright light filling the tunnel. I watched as the tunnel opened up to the outside. Stone pillars now lined the left wall allowing me to look out at a large open garden. A large tree sat in the middle with golden fruit hanging from it. Cloaked figures walked around the area. None of them seem to pick a single piece of fruit. I looked at it until all I could see was stone again.

"What was that?" I asked

"The Garden of Birth. The birthplace of religion and the tree is where Holy first landed and spoke his words upon the first inhabitants of Eques." Said the spiritual leader

"Why wasn't anybody eating the fruit of the tree?" I asked

"The fruit is never to be consumed. Those who consume the fruit will find themselves following the steps of the darkness of Reaper, Holy's brother." He said

Reaper, he must be talking about the Crystal Shard Dragon of Darkness. We came to a spiral staircase that started to descend into the depths of the temple. I watched as the spiritual leader began to descend the stairs. I followed behind him. Torches lit our path as we continued to walk down the stairs. We finally landed on the ground and followed another straight path. We then came out to a large pond of water with torches hanging from the wall, lighting the pool of water. Around the circle of water were more figures in cloaks. What's with all of this?

The spiritual leader stepped into the water and went into the center. He turned to me and gestured me to come to him. I took a step and felt a shiver run up my spine as the water was freezing. How can they stand standing in this freezing water? I continued to move through the water, which was just under a few inches from my knees. The spiritual leader stretched out his hand to me. I raised my eyebrow but took his hand. He pulled me close to him.

"Brothers and sisters, we are here to help a lost soul find salvation." The spiritual leader turned to me. "Xavier are you ready to take the plunge to find salvation from the wicked evils that torment you."

"Um, yes," I said

"Then I baptize you in the name of Holy and his light." Said the spiritual leader

"Baptize," I muttered under my breath.

Before I know it, the spiritual leader placed his other hand on my forehead and pushed me into the water. I wasn't even ready for it, so I hadn't even been able to take a breath. I closed my mouth the second I hit the water. I struggled to break the spiritual leader's grip on me so that I could surface. But I couldn't escape his hold. Finally, he let up and pulled me back to the surface. I began to cough and breath in fresh air. I continued to cough up water from my lungs.

"What the FUCK!?" I screamed

"Xavier might have taken a dip in the sweet waters of baptism, but I still don't think he's ready for salvation brothers and sisters." Said the spiritual leader

I hadn't even caught my breath before he took my head and pushed me back into the water. I was able to gulp a breath of air before I went under again. I felt the spiritual leaders grasp keeping me down. I struggled to reach the surface so that I could breathe. I could feel my body starting to shut down as I wasn't getting oxygen to my brain. I felt everything begin to go heavy and then everything went black.

***

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

I coughed as I tried to get the bloody water out of my lungs. I continued to cough and breath in long breaths of air. I felt light headed as I started to feel my body come back to me.

"What the fuck was that guy's problem? That spiritual leader needs to learn the difference between baptism and drowning." I coughed again as I slowly got to my feet, "At least I'm alive."

I looked around to see I was alone. I turned to see a hallway behind me with a powerful pulling sensation coming from it. I guess that's where I'm going. I walked that way, but I felt my body wasn't still one hundred percent as I nearly fell over. Fuck! I slowly pushed myself to walk through the water and down the hallway. Luckily, I had full motor control after a few minutes of walking down the hallway. Torches lit my way as I continued to walk. Then I saw a bright light coming from the room ahead.

I finally came out to a large room and in the center was a massive statue of Holy. Above it was a gigantic open circle allowing in a bright, warm light. I then saw it, the Crystal Shard of Light. It was floating in a glass case in front of the statue of Holy. I began to make my way over to it. I removed the glass case and reached to touch the crystal. I gripped it with my left hand and felt a warm sensation pass through my body. I watched as a yellow light engulfed my hands. Then with a blink of my eyes, I was in a land with white clouds and rays of light shining down their warm glow from them. In front of me was a large halo, which was the one that hovered over Holy.

"Holy, I've come to rescue you," I said

"I've been waiting for you Xavier. I know you've traveled far to find me as well as your salvation from the evil inside you." Soon Holy's Crystal Shard appeared from him. "Take my shard, and I shall breathe the essence of light inside you. Once the light fills your body, I shall push away the darkness, and you shall find yourself born once again in the light."

I reached out my left hand and gripped the crystal once again. I felt a warmth enter every inch of my body. It felt like all my fears we're leaving me. I looked at my hands as they began to glow the yellow color once again. I clenched my fists and with a blink my eyes it was over. But I was back out in the Everfree Forest on top of the mountain. I looked around to see it was still morning, but storm clouds were starting to form over the area. It looked like Ponyville was expecting a storm tonight.

I opened my left hand and inside was Holy's Crystal Shard. I guess that makes three down and nine more to go before I can free Crystal. I put the crystal into my belt and turned to see Dagger looking at me.

"I see you've returned from your trip to find salvation, and with Holy. I hope you found you found yourself once again." Said Dagger

"I'm not sure, but I do feel a little better. Like the darkness that I feared as slightly disappeared, but I can still feel the fear of being a killer in the back of my mind, but not as much as before," I said

"Fears never leave us, Xavier. We all carry the past and our darkness with us. No matter of light can destroy the darkness in our hearts or our fears. We must overcome them, and then use that darkness to fight back. Now concentrate and use that darkness." Said Dagger

I looked at my left hand and thought back to the blade I saw in my nightmare that caused all of this. I visualized the weapon and watched as my arm began to morph into the black blade with red veins traveling across it. I started to swing it around like I would a sword. I then turned to my right hand and wished it to become a blade as well. I watched as it formed the same blade. I swung both around and easily swapped between my usual arm and my blade arm. I stopped when I had enough, and converted both arms back to normal.

I watched as Smelt came hauling a long sword covered in paper. He came up to me and presented the sword. I took it before he walked back over to Dagger.

"You can't be a warrior without a sword, so I made you a new one. I hope you like it." Said Smelt

I tore off the paper to reveal the sword. The sheath was a charcoal black color with gold lines running down the sides of it. I then looked at the handle of the sword. It was a midnight black color. The handle came out of the upper half of an earth pony skull, and the other side had the same. Attached to the side of the earth pony heads were a set of human skulls with metal bars coming out of their mouths. I took the handle and released the blade from the sheath. The midnight black color also went to the blade. The also came out of the mouth of the earth pony skulls.

"The metal comes from a rare material known as Midnight Crystal. It comes from deep within caverns controlled by dragons and said to be the essence of Nightmare Moon. It's nearly impossible to even find or use for crafting. And don't worry about the skulls, they aren't real." Said Smelt

"Does it have an enchantment like the Crystal Ruby Sword?" I asked

"Not the same enchantment, but will do the same thing. Tape the sword, and you'll see the runes I used on it." I tapped it and saw red runes began to appear on the blade of the sword. "That's ancient magic you're looking at, my friend. Early unicorns used to use runes as their form of magic. That rune set makes your sword able to cut down any follower of Pandora and anything else. Plus it won't break, no matter who tries and it never grows dull."

I watched as the runes disappeared. I swung the long sword around and practiced with it. Everything felt smooth and felt right as I swung it around. I huffed as I spun the sword around in my right hand.

"Feels perfect," I said

"Glad to hear it." Said Smelt

"So what's it called?" I asked

"That's your choice." Said Smelt

I spun the handle in my hand and gave it a few practice swings. I looked at the skulls resting on the handle of the blade, "Hell's Blade."

"Not a bad name." Said Smelt

I hooked the sheath to myself as I heard the roll of thunder. I put the sword back into the sheath as I looked around me.

"Dagger, where did the Temple of Holy go?" I asked

"I'm not sure, but legends say that it moves across Eques searching for new members to join or to help those wishing to find salvation." Said Dagger

"Huh," I said

Another massive boom of thunder echoed around us, "I think it's time for you to return home." I turned to Dagger as he threw a dagger at the ground and a portal appeared, "Take that, and it will lead you to where we met. That should be close enough for you to return to Ponyville."

I began to make my way towards it, but before I entered, I looked back at Dagger and Smelt," Thank you for everything."

The two nodded their heads before Dagger spoke up, "Faust watch over you, Xavier."

I nodded as I stepped into the portal and came out right where I first met Dagger and Smelt. I turned to watch the portal disappear. I guess it's time to head home. I began to make my way to Ponyville as the booms of thunder echoed across the sound waves.

***
Dagger POV

I watched the portal vanish and knew Xavier was now on the other side. I walked forward and grabbed the dagger and put it away. I looked back to the city of Ponyville.

"So what do you think?" Asked Smelt

"I think Holy's powers have stabilized his mental state, but I still could feel his broken mind. The psychological damage Kozama did to him is more significant than I thought, but I believe he'll move past it and continue to fight." I paused as I thought about something, "But one thing is for sure."

"What's that?" Asked Smelt

"I believe Xavier is now taking his first steps into his violent path. I have a feeling that Xavier will now be more violent than he has ever been," I said

The roar of thunder echoed in the air as Smelt, and I looked upon the town of Ponyville. I wish you luck Xavier on your new journey.

Xavier POV

I stepped out of the Everfree Forest and into the valley before Ponyville. Lightning strikes lit up the dark clouds above me. I hope I reach the library before it starts to pour down . I took a single step forward before heard the sounds of growling. I looked behind me to see Timber Wolves stepping out of the Everfree Forest. They kept their distance from me but continued to growl at me.

Then out of the forest he came, Stray Wolf, with two alpha Timber Wolves following behind him. He stopped just short of me as he gave me a wicked smile. I clenched my fists as I looked at Stray Wolf.

"I heard you were back from your little outing with Kozama." Stray Wolf smile seemed to spread wider as he looked at me, "I see he had fun with you. I wonder how much fun he had with you. I heard that he broke you after just one week."

"So I guess that's the reason you're here," I said

"Well, of course, it's time you and I finally put our little feud to rest. It's time I put you down once and for all. Then when your dead, I'll be taking back my daughter and helping my master rise once again. But no worries, I'll send you your harem mates, well after I have fun with them. I haven't had a good mare pussy in a long time, and I bet your girls could use a good fuck." Said Stray Wolf

He laughed as thunder boomed overhead. It felt like the first time I met Stray Wolf. The first time we fought, which put me in the hospital for three weeks with a high percentage of death. I felt my anger continue to rise through me as he laughed about raping my lovers and turning Moon Star into a weapon when she should be a little girl, enjoying life.

"Shut the fuck up!" Stray Wolf stopped his laughing. "You think I will ever let you lay a hand on my daughter or my lovers, then your mistaken." I drew my sword and pointed it at him. "I'm not the same human you first meet long ago. No, I've gone through a lot since we first met. But I do agree with you; I think it's time we finish the fight we started so long ago. And if you must know, I think I'm going to enjoy gutting you like a fish."

Stray Wolf just smile as he rose his right hand as he created his blade, "We'll see who's gutting who."

***
3rd Person

A single drop of rain began to fall from the sky landing on the ground. Soon more and more raindrops started to fall from the sky. Then the rain began to downpour on both Stray Wolf and Xavier. A flash of lightning illuminated the two warriors before a boom of thunder echoed as the two ran towards each other. Their weapons clashed against each other. The two exchanged blows as the rain came down upon them.

Xavier slammed his foot into Stray Wolf's gut pushing him away before Xavier ran forward. Stray Wolf got himself together and began to create spikes of wood across his body. He shot them right at Xavier. Xavier saw them coming and rolled out of the way. He looked around and saw Stray Wolf wasn't where he was standing. But a flash of lightning showed him coming from the sky. Xavier leaped out of the way as Stray Wolf landed with his blade sinking into the muddy earth.

"Come now, Xavier is this all you have." Said Stray Wolf

"I'm only warming up." Said Xavier

Xavier looked at his mark and felt a surge of power flow to it. It felt like nothing Xavier had felt before. It felt like he was summoning pure darkness to his left hand, and it felt good. He created a spinning black ball as he turned to Stray Wolf.

"Choas Sphere!" Exclaimed Xavier

He tossed the sphere right at Stray Wolf who quickly dodged it. The sphere landed on one of the alphas and obliterated it. Stray Wolf looked to see nothing of his alpha, not even a stick. Shit, what was that? Stray Wolf then felt a fist smash into his face. He slid across the ground into the pack of Timber Wolves.

"Kill him!" Ordered Stray Wolf

The Timber Wolves ran right at Xavier ready to take him down for their king. Xavier formed both of his hands into his blades and cut down the wolves one by one. He released his left arm and concentrated on his fire abilities and released a torrent of flames, consuming many of the Timber Wolves. Stray Wolf nodded to the last remaining alpha. The alpha booked it towards Xavier and slammed into the side of him.

Xavier hit the dirt and went sliding before he got back to his feet. Mud now covered his body, but it didn't stop him. He glared at the Timber Wolf alpha as it looked back at him. Xavier felt another wave of dark energy pass through to his left hand. He raised it at the alpha as it began to glow a dark black color. The alpha became enclosed in a dark aura. Xavier began to close his fist, and with that action, the aura started to crush the Timber Wolf. It howled in pain, but that only lasted a second before Xavier smashed it all the way into a ball of sticks. Xavier released his aura, and let the ball fall to the ground.

Xavier looked at his hand as he flexed the fingers as he tried to fathom the new set of powers he had at his disposal. As Dagger said, I must embrace the darkness. Xavier clenched his fist before running towards Stray Wolf.

"I don't care how you do it, KILL HIM!" Said Stray Wolf

The Timber Wolves looked at Xavier as he started to come closer and closer. They all looked back at Stray Wolf. He growled before pointing his fingers again at Xavier.

"KILL HIM!!!" Ordered Stray Wolf

The wolves began to run towards Xavier. Xavier drew his sword and began to cut down the wolves. He combined that with his Choas Sphere and his dark aura to destroy the wolves. Xavier tossed another Choas Sphere and landed in a pack of three wolves and obliterated them all. Xavier stopped as he looked at Stray Wolf once again. A flash of lightning went across the sky with a mighty boom of thunder following. The remaining Timber Wolves began to whimper and back away from their king.

"It seems the tables have turned, Stray Wolf." Said Xavier

Stray Wolf growled before running towards Xavier. Xavier did the same, and the two once again clashed swords as the storm continued to rage around them. The wind was now wiping at full speeds as the two broke away from another stalemate. The two huffed and puffed as rain went all over the place. Stray Wolf didn't wait long before going in for another attack.

Xavier readied himself but didn't see the Speed Wolf coming at him. It slammed itself right into Xavier, causing him to fall to the ground and lose his sword. Xavier saw the wolf and grabbed it with his aura before crushing the life out of it. He then turned and created his blade using his left arm to block Stray Wolf.

Xavier slammed his foot into his gut as hard as he could. Stray Wolf cough up blood from the impact with Xavier's boot to his stomach. He stumbled back as Xavier got back to his feet. Xavier ran towards Stray Wolf. He transformed his right arm to his blade. Stray Wolf quickly brought up his right arm and extended a shield to block Xavier. Xavier raised his blades and sliced right through Stray Wolf's defense. Stray Wolf watched his right arm started to split right into two pieces. Xavier had cut his right arm in half.

Stray Wolf stumbled back as he held the stump of his arm. The Timber Wolves backed away as Xavier stood looking at the sap coming out of Stray Wolf's arm. Xavier spotted his sword and went over as he converted his blades back into his arms. He picked the longsword up and turned back to Stray Wolf.

"Strange isn't it Stray Wolf. It feels like the first we met all over again, except this time, you're the one on the losing side." Said Xavier

"I order you to get him!" The Timber Wolves didn't move. "I gave you an ORDER!!"

But the Timber Wolves only backed away as Xavier kept moving towards Stray Wolf. But he stopped short of the pony and Timber Wolf hybrid.

"I don't get it, Kozama should have broken you. You shouldn't be able to fight." Said Stray Wolf

"That's where you are wrong, Stray Wolf. Yes, Kozama broke me, but I took a self-journey a learned that I couldn't stop being a warrior. I can't run from my fears, no I have to embrace them. I have to embrace the madness and darkness, and so I have. I'm no longer the Xavier you knew, no I'm a far more different one. Oh yes, a far more violent one. One that isn't afraid to take a few steps into the darkness." A flash of lightning went behind Xavier. "I'm the new and improved Xavier Young." Another lightning bolt went across the sky behind Xavier. "I'm the Devil's Fable, and I want to welcome you to hell."

Xavier ran and crashed his left fist into Stray Wolf's face. Xavier grabbed his right arm in his dark aura and tore his arm right off his body. Stray Wolf screamed as a tremendous boom of thunder echoed overhead. Timber Wolves shook in place as they stayed as far away as they could from their king. Xavier then took his long sword and sliced off Stray Wolf's left arm. He continued to scream as more thunder roared overhead. Stray Wolf walked backward as sap flowed from both of his wounds.

"No, no, no, no, no!!!" Screamed Stray Wolf

Soon he stopped as Xavier smashed his longsword right into the gut of Stray Wolf. Stray Wolf began to cough up blood sap as Xavier looked at him. Stray Wolf looked into Xavier's eyes and saw nothing in them. His eyes looked empty and void of any emotion.

"I guess you got your wish, Stray Wolf. I grew stronger for our final fight, but now it's time we finish this once and for all." Xavier raised his left arm and morphed it into his blade. "Goodbye Stray Wolf, I hope you fucking enjoy hell."

Xavier swung his left arm, and in a single swipe, it was over. Stray Wolf's head went flying into the air as a flash of lightning ran across the sky. The head landed in the mud as Xavier kicked the limp body of Stray Wolf off of his sword. The body fell into the mud next to the head. The Timber Wolves looked at their dead king before looking at Xavier.

"Leave and never return or I'll fucking gut you all as well." Said Xavier

The wolves turned tail and ran for it. None looked back at Xavier as they returned to the Everfree Forest. Xavier put his sword back into its sheath as he watched Stray Wolf become a puff of smoke. He converted his left arm back and held out his hand. The coin of Stray Wolf landed in his palm. He clenched his fist before turning back and making his way into Ponyville.

***
Xavier's POV

I was soaking wet as the rain continued to drench me. The town of Ponyville was tranquil as I walked back to the library. I wasn't sure what I would find, but I knew I was going to get a severe scolding from my harem, even if I only left Ponyville for a single day. I finally came to my final destination, Golden Oak's Library.

I saw the lights were still one inside. I walked up to the door and soon saw a small portal open beside and the pack I brought with me appeared. I forgot that I brought that with me. I picked it up and thanked Dagger for sending it back to me. I searched the pack for the key to the library. I found it and put it into the lock. I pushed open the door open, and to my surprise, all my friends were in the library. They all looked at me as I stood in the doorway of the library with the storm raging overhead. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me. I put my pack by the side of the door but didn't take another step forward as I was dripping water.

The girls all blinked at me. I looked at each of their faces but didn't see Flame. I assumed he as up with Moon Star as she wasn't around either. Twilight was the first to move forward. I expected her to slap me or yell, but instead, her horn came to life as she pressed her hand on my chest. I felt heat start to cover my body as Twilight dried me off. Then she looked at me before I felt her slap with me with all of her strength as I heard her sniffle.

"I'm guessing you're angry," I said

"Yes, I'm bucking angry! You ran away from us, without thinking that we could have helped you. But no, you just decide that the best option is to run. You should have seen your daughter; she was crying her eyes out when she learned that you ran off," said Twilight with tears running down her cheeks.

"You're lucky this storm came when it did, we were about to come looking for you." Said Rainbow

"I'm sorry," I said

"Sorry isn't goin' tah cut it with us, partner. You're in the doghouse with us." Said Applejack

"At least tell us why you ran off." Said Fluttershy

I sighed as I ran my left hand through my hair, "Because I might become what Kozama wanted me to become, a killer. I didn't want to hurt any of you, but my time in the Everfree Forest helped me realize that I can't run from my fears, no I have to embrace." I looked at the girls as I gave a wicked smile, "Yes, I have to embrace the darkness that flows through me. The darkness that Kozama thought would bring me down, now will become the item that'll use to destroy Pandora and his followers. And I saw the effects of it today."

"How?" Asked Rainbow

I pulled out Stray Wolf's coin and heard the girls gasp as I spun it around in my fingers.

"You killed Stray Wolf." Said Twilight

"Yes, he's finally dead. He decided that he would finally kill me. Sadly, it looks like I'm the one who came out ahead," I snickered at my last word.

"So that means that Moon Star is safe?" Asked Twilight

"Yes, and now I accept any punishment or anything you girls want to do to me. I accept it all," I said

"Were not goin' tah hurt ya, Sugarcube." Said Applejack

"No, but you are going to do something for all of us." Said Rarity

"Name it," I said

"First, you're going to spend a whole day with Moon Star and I mean, A WHOLE DAY. Then you're spending at least two hours with her for an entire week." Said Twilight

"I understand, and for the harem," I said

"A date with all of us. And you're going to take two days to spend with us all." Said Rarity

"Ok, now Rarity," she looked at me. "I need to talk with about designing something new."

***

"Here it is, darling." Said Rarity

I took the item she was holding her hands. I looked at it as I knew this was the beginning of a new era with me. In my hands was my new coat. Sure I still had my old coat, but that was back before Kozama. I no longer needed that coat as I was on a new path. I was holding a long sleeve black coat with the symbol of the Crystal Shard Dragons on the back. On the shoulders were images of the devil that I created for Rarity to sew onto the coat. I slipped it on and looked myself in the mirror. It looked perfect as Rarity handed me a new pair of fingerless gloves. I could see the coat covered up the sheath of my longsword, but kept the handle visible. I moved around and felt it was perfect for combat.

"Thanks again, Rarity," I said

"No problem darling, though your new jacket isn't my cup of tea." Said Rarity

"I know, but I wanted something more fitting for me," I said

I turned and walked out to the lobby of Carousel Boutique to show everypony. They all awed as they looked at my new coat.

"That sure does suit you." Said Rainbow

"This sure is a change for you brother." Said Flame

"Of course, the Fabled Warrior died in Kozama's hands. But from my death, I've risen anew. I'm now the Devil's Fable, and I shall bring down Pandora and all of his followers. Let the Dark Saga begin," I said

Author's Notes:

That's all folks; we are officially into the second season ark, the Dark Saga. If you haven't guessed already, I'm going to take the story down a slightly darker path. But never fret, I won't go too crazy. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as I know you will.

On another note, Xavier's new dark powers, will not take over his Fable Powers. He'll still have those to use throughout his fights. So I think that's all I got to say to you all. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be out, but I guess you'll just have to wait and see. So as always: Comment, like, follow, share and tell. Hope to see you all real soon, bye.

Choas Sphere: A condensed sphere of pure dark energy. When thrown at a target, obliterates it into nothing.

Dark Aura: Grants Xavier the ability to wield his dark energy, and crush his targets with the force of dark energy.

Brief History: We continue our talk about the history of the Crystal Shard Dragons with Holy the Crystal Shard Dragon of light. Eques knows Holy as the bringer of light and religion. In the early days of Eques, there was no light, no good, and no faith. Evil spread far and wide, snuffing out all that is good, but that ended when Holy descended from the sky. All creatures of Eques stopped and looked to the sky as Holy descended from the heavens. His light brought them all to their knees. And when his feet touched the ground, a tree sprung forth from the ground and upon those branches were golden fruit. Holy then spoke words of wisdom to the inhabitants of Eques and from that, gave them religion and the light of good. But over time, all forgot about Holy and his light and only took to their faith. But a small group never forgot Holy as the true being of faith. So they came together around the Tree of Knowledge and created the Temple of Holy. Holy blessed the temple to move from place to place, allowing it to travel across Eques and bring more to the congregation and helping those find salvation once again.
