The Dark Entity (Being Re-written)
Chapter 16: To Full Extent.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterChrysalis walked slowly into Canterlot, the burning buildings and blood not unfamiliar, but the amount was far greater than she would rather see.
Foals, filly's, grown ponies alike all lay in the streets. She even saw one stallion hanging from a lamppost.
The fight between the two beings was growing more intense as she could feel their power reaching high magnitude. Some magic ballistics misfired and almost hit her a few times. They probably didn't notice her being there.
Once she finally reached the castle, she could see all the remaining citizens inside with whatever guards were left. Two guards were helping the princesses, although Celestia looked to be unconscious.
Chrysalis slowly walked in, trying to not draw any attention. Which of course failed as a pony screamed in her direction.
The guards were quick to react, they surrounded her with spears down and venom in their eyes.
Luna was away from her sister, approaching the once Queen of the Changelings with a stoic face.
"Chrysalis, why have you come here? You can't win even if we ourselves are weak." Luna spoke, tiredness very prevalent in her voice.
"I don't want to take over anymore. I want to help." Chrysalis said.
Luna looked genuinely surprised "Why?"
"I'm starving, and I'm alone...I don't want to be alone anymore." Chrysalis lowered her head.
Luna spoke softly "It's not my decision, but for the time being, we'll let you stay. We need all the help we can get. Tend to any injured ponies you see, I need to get back to my sister."
The guards went back to their stations as Luna went back to Celestia. Chrysalis looked around, most of the ponies stared at her, frightened.
She noticed a small filly holding a stuffed bunny, its ear torn off. She was crying.
Chrysalis walked over to the small filly, and sat in front of her.
"Hello." Chrysalis spoke softly.
The filly looked up and went wide eyed, but couldn't scream due to her sobbing.
Chrysalis looked at the bunny, she can see the other piece of the ear on the ground.
"May I please see your bunny?" Chrysalis asked as nicely and non threatening as possible.
The filly hesitantly held out her bunny, when she did, Chrysalis used her magic to levitate it into the air with the ear piece.
She concentrated her magic between the two broken pieces, slowly making them whole again.
When she was done, she gave the bunny back to the filly, said filly smiled with tears still streaming down her face.
She unexpectedly hugged Chrysalis, silently saying "Thank you."
Chrysalis felt her hunger go away slightly, and felt something new, something she never thought she could ever feel again.
Love.

The battle lasted for hours, Remorel nor Dunmer gaining the upper hand.
They only accomplished in completely annihilating the ground they were fighting over. The Canterlot Gardens.
Remorel had several missing pieces of armor, his sword was chipped, and one of his wings was bleeding.
Dunmer wasn't faring any better, he had open wounds all over his body, his weapon's hilt broke off, making it hard to handle.
It was a stalemate at this point.
But they never stopped, not for a second. They both were hell-bent on killing the other despite their fatal injuries.
----
Celestia awoke to Chrysalis tending to her leg, Luna was convinced she wouldn't dare try anything now.
Celestia was hesitant at first, but once Luna explained everything, Celestia was joyful for Chrysalis. Something quite unexpected to Chrysalis.
"Who is fighting, if I may ask." Chrysalis asked Celestia while wrapping her wounded leg.
"Remorel, The Angel of Death, and King Dunmer, a corrupted being with a false view. He was also the one who sapped my magic and Luna's." Celestia winced the last part out as Chrysalis applied some pressure for the bandages.
"Sapped your magic? How?"
"He just appeared from nowhere. And he pulled me into a beam that drained my magic, it exhausted me to the point of unconsciousness." Celestia said with some anger.
The castle shook.
Everypony looked up, the crashing sounds got closer. And faster.
Most of the ponies cleared the middle of the room, and once they did, Dunmer and Remorel landed in.
They both looked horrible, both covered in blood. Both looking exhausted.
"Just...just give up...you can't win Remorel." Dunmer said shakily.
"Never. You deserve death of the highest degree."
"Then...I better make the most of it.."
Dunmer rushed Remorel with newfound energy, which caught Remorel off guard.
The amount of force was enough to send Remorel crashing into a wall. Cracking it heavily.
Remorel laid there, completely exerted off all his energy and magic.
Unless...
"Give up Remorel, my power outmatches yours tenfold. And once I have your soul, I will conquer this world, then the Afterlife, then finally Paradise! So, any last words?" Dunmer stood over Remorel triumphantly.
"..."
"No? Then I will savor this opportunity..." Dunmer took a to-scared-to-fight guard's spear, broke off the tip, and stabbed Remorel.
Black blood gushed out, staining the golden spear.
All the ponies gasped.
Dunmer watched Remorel with a smile.
Which slowly started to fade as Remorel's own smile started to widen.
"Heh...Hehehe..."
Remorel stood up, the blood continuing to rush out.
Dunmer started to look uneasy, he planned out everything so well.
This was something different.
"No, you forgot one factor..."
Remorel expanded his hand, flashing a hint of blood magic.
"I'm Death, and all the souls of the dead are one with me...their blood is my power." Remorel walked closer to Dunmer.
And in one fluid motion, punched Dunmer.
All of Remorel's blood magic rushed to his fist, causing Dunmer to fly out the window with a hole in his chest.
Dunmer's body vaporized, with his screaming echoing in the air.
Most of the ponies watched in horror, but some cheered.
Celestia and Luna walked to the sides of Remorel, looking out the now shattered window.
"Your magic is in my palm, touch it and you will have your magic back..." Remorel had his palm extended. Two orbs, one blue one yellow, pulsated in the light.
The princesses did as they were told and touched the orbs, their magic rushing into their bodies.
"Remorel, you saved Equestria from a foe we ponies would have never been able to defeat. We are in your debt, if you need anything, let us know." Celesta had a wing around Remorel, Luna's cheeks puffed.
"I'm ok, just need rest." Remorel stared at the setting sun.
"What now?" Luna asked.
"I don't know, but we are fine for now..."
Somehow Remorel knew it wasn't over, he knew there was more of THEM out there. He couldn't let his newfound friends suffer from his realms enemies.
Remorel started getting on one knee, the blood magic's after affects coming in full swing.
"Luna...Celestia...I need to rest, take me to the room quick...I have something in there that will help me with this..."
With that, Remorel passed out, his healing magic slowly closing his wounds.
Luna and Celestia both looked at each other, then took Remorel to his room.
Although, it was difficult. They're magic fatigue still plagued them, dropping Remorel occasionally as they carried him. They even had to stop and ask Chrysalis for help.
Once they finally reached the room, they closed the door and let Remorel rest. They all agreed he needed it.
-----
'Another waste of my time. This one was weaker than Death, and he had Life in his power. I guess I will need to eliminate him by myself.'
The green orb slowly went back into the forest.
'Besides, I work better alone.'
