Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Past and present

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Around 500 years ago

I awoke in my room in the Colosseum to the sounds of the crowds cheering for the combatants, but today was not about the crowds or the honor that came with the fighting. Today was simply about the fight and the payment that came with it as I was a mercenary Gladiator.

While I was walking through the Arena, I noticed something was off. Despite hearing the crowds cheering when I got to the public areas, I saw no bulls around. Upon looking further, I found a bull, a small scrawny looking Calf with his horns cut off. Probably an escaped slave of some kind. "Hey calf, where is everybull?" I asked.

The calf turned around revealing himself to have dark orange lines all over his body and a singular eye in the middle of his face "revenge" it said as it rushed towards me. I dodged the creature and lit my fists on fire, ready to fight.

"Your smarter than your past lives," it said. I wondered what it meant but I quickly came to the decision that I didn't care as I had a fight to get to.

"Tell me how I get back to the arena!" I ordered as the creature rushed me again, this time I punched the creature with my flaming fists but It did nothing

The creature chuckled as it took a step back "I underestimated you. I thought you would run like those before you but you stay and fight." It said as it expanded to surround me I just took one look at it then threw fireballs at it knocking back a few feet before running. I may be a mercenary but I know when to run from a fight. The large blob-like creature started chasing me through the corridors of the Colosseum, back to my room where I could grab my armor and make a final stand.

As I made it to my room I locked the door behind me and got to my armor. If I was going to die here, I would die like a warrior. As I took a stand ready to fight I felt something touch the back of my shoulder I turned around to see the creature behind me before I could ask how it got there, it attacked.

I woke up, my first action was to wonder what the time was, as it was every morning. As I slowly woke up, I wondered what that dream was about, but before I could think about it, I remembered I had a match to get to. I threw on my armor and ran to the arena where the crowds greeted me with their cheers.

"Ladies and Gentlebulls of the Colosseum, I greet you to this exciting day where Kings will be crowned, In the red corner the Champion representing King Minos is The Silver Knight..." The announcer said as the crowd cheered "...and on the blue side, the Mercenary gladiator the Blue Flame" He said as the crowd booed at me some even throwing fruit at me but I simply readied myself for the fight.

I walked up to the champion in the center of the ring and was greeted by the Champion "Hey, I've heard about you, apparently you're a really good fighter. Let's have a good match" he said. I just nodded as I walked back to the blue corner to begin the match.

"Combatants! Get ready to fight!" The announcer said as I lit my fists on fire and rushed at the Champion.

Modern day Griffon lands

I got off the ship and began the climb to Griffonstone where the abandoned temple I called home was. As I climbed the mountain I wondered if the second alicorn was the same one that I had heard returned, but I wrote it off as being too ridiculous to be true. An hour passed as I had nearly got to the top, the walk was peaceful and gave me time to rethink my strategy on fighting Celestia.

As I got to the top I saw the shanty town that was Griffonstone 'Glad to see nothing has changed' I thought to myself as I walked through the town.

"Hey, it's the amnesiac!" a griffon said. I turned around to see Gilda selling her terrible baked goods.

"Oh hey Gilda, still selling those terrible baked bads?' I asked.

"No actually a friend of a friend helped me with that try one," she said as she handed me a pastry, which I was surprised to find that it tasted good.

"That will be three bits," she said. I rolled my eyes and pulled out three bits from my bag and handed them to her. "So, learn anything of who you were while in Equestria?" She asked.

"Nope, still nothing," I said, faking my disappointment as I didn't head to Equestria to see if I could recover my memories.

"Well maybe you can find out what happened to you, someday," she said, honestly creeping me out a bit.

"Who are you and what have you done with Gilda?" I asked, she just laughed.

"I've been trying to make friends, okay?" she said as I tilted my head, "What?" she asked.

"Sorry, but us? Friends? I don't see it happening" I said as she looked kind of disappointed. I walked away heading to the abandoned temple, after half an hour of walking I made it home

"Home sweet home," I said to myself as I went inside.

The Blue flame 500 years ago

The battle was almost over as The Silver Knight was about to finish me off. But before he could deal the final blow, I pushed him down with a blast of air.

"What's this?' The announcer said while I got up. As the Champion rose to his feet, I lifted the rocks in the arena and smashed them down the champion a few times before running towards the large ball of rocks and heating it up with my fire. As the fire cooled down and the rocks fell, all that remained of the Silver knight was his silver armor, melted onto his skeleton.

"Folks I hate to tell you this, but It looks like our new Champion is The Blue Flame." The announcer said As the crowd booed and threw fruit at me some were even saying that I cheated and should be executed, but I simply walked away from the arena to be with my thoughts.

An hour passed as I lay in my bed wondering what happened out there and why I couldn't remember what happened during the fight. "Hey champ," the new king said as he entered my room "What are you doing in here?" he asked as I looked at him.

"I'm laying in my bed" I responded. He apparently took offense to that.

"But this isn't your room anymore, your the Champion now so you get your own suite," he said as I got up from my bed and walked up to him

"Show me," I said.

We walked through the Colosseum, where some small calves wanted my autograph. I had to oblige due to my King being there.

"Here you go," I said as the last Calf left running to its parents to tell them that it had met the new champion, but the responses were not all as positive as that. Most Minotaurs gave me a bad look as they believed I cheated, but as it was a Kings match it would be a matter for the elders to decide if I had cheated or not.

Author's Notes:

note the Blue flame is the fourth avatar, Zehire was the first not counting the human

The order is zebra(water), Diamond dog(earth), Griffon(Air), minotaur (fire)
