Troy pov

“How’s it going!” I yelled into the hole two of my larger diamond dogs walked out of the cave mouth opening.

“We, close king. We hear females talking every soon we get in. But, we hear deer as well. Their setting up inside they know we coming but not how.”

I nodded but I frowned on the inside making a note to get these dogs into a classroom for speaking and literacy when this is said and done. “When you are done send word I’m leading the charge when the tunnel is ready.”

“Yes.”

I turned then walked off quickly heading for the camp as our cannons were being drawn up. I waved and Brutal saw me come.

“Were almost ready, are you sure about this? FIring on the right wall seems to be a risk.” I nodded then pulled out a copy of plans for these forts. I opened it then she and the others gathered around. “From what we can tell the captives are behind held here.” I pointed to the center of the fort where the cages were set up about ten feet under a thick stone floor. “So, we hammer one side making them come over here so when we break through to the cells.”

“Oh, so were the decoy units. But, the trenches will be a pain to deal with as some of the dragons flying high enough to look down say they're moving around in there.”

I sighed then rolled up the map then held it out to Brutal. He took it as I cracked my knuckles then waved my hands. “I’ll take care of that, but have any females been seen in there?” He nodded as he looked at me.

“No, as far as we can tell soldiers are there but we're not one-hundred on that.”

I nodded then started to walk towards the trenches. “Alright, give me ten minutes and I’ll have them emptied out.” when I was about twenty feet away a lot of them jumped out swords and spears at the ready. I smiled then tapped my foot on the ground and then speared with ice spikes. I jumped over the ice landing in the trench seeing deers charging at me from both sides I jumped then stomped back down on the ground then threw my fist out sending fire like whips through then as they lined up in the narrow paths. I stopped the flames then started to walk through looking for anyone who survived that last attack. I found a few younger deers clearly not built for war. I nodded for them to get lost when I found them. They ran for the fort as I started to walk again then when I was about to make a full circle of this massive and badly built trench system.

“S-sir?”

I stopped then looked down at the wall seeing a cage dug into the wall. I knelt down and looked inside the cage. Sitting there in the cage was another female diamond dog She was in a purple two-piece swimsuit with small hands with purple nails with long white hair with purple highlights but her eyes were close to mine.

“C-can you please get me out?”

“Ya, gave me one second.” I grabbed the bars with one hand then put my left hand in the top then branched the bottom with my foot. I started to pull pretty hard then after a second, I ripped the door off shocking her. I threw the door back slamming into the walls of the fort then held a hand out to her. “Come on miss?”

“Call me Sea.”

I smiled as she took my hand then I pulled her out of the cage and she fell into my chest. I looked down at her and saw her left leg was swollen. “What happened?” She frowned then spoke up as I pulled my shirt off and cloak.

“I was caught a few days ago but I was cuffed and drugged here before the army out there showed up. But, I shocked when I heard the deers talking about how the king of that army skins the deers caught raping any females. From what they were saying they're scared to even go near the ones they have in the cells.”

I held my hand out to her and she took it quickly putting it on. I picked my cloak off the ground then tore it up then tied it in a way to hide anything from view. I tied the rest of the cloak around my waist leaving a half cape with a good four foot left. It was torn just under the symbol but I liked the look a little. “Ok miss Sea let go.” She nodded a blush on her face as she looked up at me.

“Ok.”

I smiled then picked her up then jumped out of the trenches landing on near the cannons as the deers finally sounded the alarm before they started stacking up on the wall. “Haha, nearly twenty minutes to get the alarm up?”

“Ahm!”

I turned back seeing the queens, Celestia, Agapi, Chrysalis standing on shaky legs with Magma.”

I laughed as I sat Sea down as the medical doe’s rushed up and claw came running past me and threw my shirt. “Thanks.”

“Ya boss.”

The rest of the tiger quickly went running as a female diamond dog walked up covered in dirt.

“We’re ready.”

I nodded as I put my shirt on then I took off before they could lay into me. “You can kill me later!” I heard a few of them yell as I ran near the tents then grabbed a wood staff spinning it as we ran. When we got to the tunnel the cannons opened up.

‘Master those females are going to rip you limb from limb when you fall asleep.’

‘Theres an empty fort and a whole fortress around here.’

‘Ture.’

I smiled as a large unit of yaks and bulls shield and spears at the ready. I smiled as the larger dogs picked up two huge hammers.

“Follow.”

I nodded then we started to walk in cannon firing almost non-stop as we reached the stone walls. “Get that down quick then get ready for action.” They nodded then they started to hit the walls slowly knocking then in. After a minute they nearly had the wall out then a huge part fell out. We saw two large female diamond dogs with larger hands smiling. The one on the right spoke up first.

“Are you in the allied army?”

“Yes ma’am, now if you'll give us a hand well have you all in a moment.”

They smiled then started to pull on the stone as the other doing their best to move the stones to the side as I saw more cages silently waving and cheering us on. Soon we had it opened then all the captives were rushed out as we rushed in troops me at the head. I kicked the cell door down then ran over to the first cell door. “Everyone get back.” They did so then I but my staff in my mouth then grabbed both sides of the doors. I jerked back, ripping it off, pulling some of the cell walls as well. “Go, you're safe once you're out of the cave we’ve dug head for the camp and passed the cannons.” They ran out as my troops broke down another cell door. But, our actions were noticed as a huge set of doors flew open and a lion with a group of deers ran in. “Keep them safe!” I jumped at the group, the staff spinning in hand. I grabbed the end then slammed the body of the staff down on the head of the lion. I wanted him alive. I need to know what he was doing here. I then made a blade of ice on the top of the staff as I spun it. I stabbed the first one as I stopped spinning then pulled it back then stabbed another then threw my left hand up throwing an icy wind there way freezing there hoofs to the floor. I smiled as I looked at the terrified faces of these deer. I felt my hand up balls of lightning cracking around my hand. “Bye.” I pulled my arm back then sent the balls into the group and a blast of lightning blasted them none stop blood flying from their mouths, eyes, ears, and noses. Burns for on the open spots of they're armor. When I was done I looked back as Claw and a Bull forced the last door open. “Shields and spear with me! We're pushing forward!”

“YAY!”

I rushed there the dead bodies, the others quickly following behind me as we rushed through the open door. The deers around you saw us rush into the courtyard, dropped whatever they were holding, and charged us. I slashed the first deer as the others slammed into the now formed shield wall. Tigers jumped over knives, swords, claws, and fangs at the ready. I threw a blast of fire into the air and a second later the cannons stopped as to me and the tigers rushed the main gate. I threw my shoulder into the gate nearly breaking the gate down in one go. I took a step back then threw my shoulder back into it breaking it down. The Yaks and Bulls started to charge as I heard yells above me. The Tigers had made it to the top and were on the top killing the archers and stopping the air defenses from being used. I moved off to keep up the hunt for the slaves or for more officers. The others charged in as I stabbed a deer through the guard then kicked him off.

“Troy!”

I looked up as Celestia came down, dragons and Griffins close behind. As she did some more females were found as a few younger doe’s were led out of must have been the sleeping quarters. What medical staff we had left not checking over the now freed girls we brought out were here checking them over as he tied up the surrendering soldiers. “Put them with Spike under guard by the dragon crop and the Yak army. We’ll deal with them before the day’s over with.”

“Yes, Sir.”

The guards bowed then got them off the ground and started to march them off as Fawn walked over to me a notebook in hand. Celestia and Claw walked over as she started to explain what they have now.

“Well, all things considering they’re not too bad. Many of them are under so great stress but none seem to have been raped or anything of the sort. From what we can gather they are scared of angering the death king of Equestria. The doe’s say they are talking about him leading an unstoppable army. And, the second fort was abandoned with the females still inside after hearing we had arrived before any reinforcements could arrive. The Griffins are going to be sending a force to see if it’s true.”

I nodded then we heard yelling and screaming. I looked to the right and saw that the lion was awake and was holding one of the younger doe’s by the hair with his claws at her throat.

“Back UP!”

The bulls around him moved away as he pulled her back with him as he looked around.

“Here’s how this is going down! I’m walking out with this fawn and once I’m sure I’m safe I’ll let her go!”

I smirked then held my hand up using my finger as a way to aim. “Claw be ready to get on him.”

“Right.”

I snapped my fingers and sent a lighting light blast of fire flew through the air and hit his arm, burning it off, making him scream. Claw and I charged him as he let the girl’s hair go then he grabbed his burnt off arm. I grabbed his throat and took him to the ground. Claw pinning him I slammed a punch into the center of his chest knocking the air out of him. Then Claw grabbed his arm then broke it at the elbow making sure he wouldn’t be trying that again. He seemed to have passed out from the pain. I huffed as I grabbed his armor then started to drag him then stopped. “To hell with it.” I grabbed his throat and pulled my left back then a hand grabbed my arm. I looked back and saw a scared looking lioness looking at me.

“Please, don’t.”

I lowered my fist as I dropped him to the ground as I looked at her. “Why?”

“He’s a member of a high noble family of the jungle clan. It could start a war if he doesn’t get back.”

I looked at her for a few seconds then I looked back at Celestia. “Well, you know this better than I do.”

“The jungle clan is a branch of the royal family. She does have a point if we kill him it may add a new enemy for us to fight.” I sighed then looked down at the now broken lion. “Send him to the most guard jail or prison nearest to here.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Griffons quickly tied him tight as they could then they took off holding him by ropes. I sighed then a smaller body tackled into me. I looked down and saw the fawn her head burying her head into my side trying not to cry. I smiled softly and put a hand on her head rubbing her soft white hair and had fist fulls of my shirt tear running down her face. I looked back at Celestia and she nodded as she walked over to the two of us. When she was next to me she kneeled down and put a hand on her shoulder making her jerk and look at her.

“Sweetheart, do you want a hug?”

She let go of me then tackled into Celestia’s almost taking her to the ground but she didn’t fall. She hugged the crying fawn then stood up holding her as she shushed her running a hand down her back. I smiled as I put a hand on her head rubbing her head.

“You're ok now, you're with us now I promise no pony will ever hurt you again.”

Celestia soothed the girl and nodded her head as she started to walk back to the camp. I smiled knowing more than likely I had a new daughter. I nodded my head then I looked around as they started to take all the bits, weapons, and medical supplies they found.

“Hey! All those bits go to the joint found for our supplies and the medical supplies got to the medical care unit! Weapons are to be spread throughout the units who need more! Any other items are free game!” They followed what I said but most of the well off griffons and bulls looked annoyed but a glare from me sent them walking.

“Um, Sir?”

I turned to see some of the diamond dogs with a few zebras. She was a large mare dressed in a tight open top with a silk bra showing with a bikini bottom on. She had ear rings with a necklace on with some hair going over her left eye.

"Yes?"

She cleared her throat as she looked ta me.

"Would you happen to be Troy Thanatos?"

I looked at her confused as I nodded. "Yes, but how do you know my name?" She smiled as she looked at me then grabbed my hand and shock it.

"It an honor! My sister was one of the slaves you friend when you destroyed the slave camp in city of Manehatten. Thank the spirits of the ancestors she didn’t come back pregnant.”

I laughed a little then put a hand on her head petting her a little making her blush. “You know I give thanks to my ancestors for good things as well. My people believe the spirits of our ancestors send help when we need it, maybe you're and your sister ancestors did the same.” She smiled as I took my hand off her head. She was smiling with a red face and her tail slowly moved from side to side.

“Boom”

I threw my hand up as a blast of black flames flew out of the forest. “What the hell?”

“It’s a demon summoning!”

I looked at the mare and I looked at the soldiers around. I waved my arm around two fingures out. “Form up! We got unknown inbound!” They quickly did as I said then I jumped onto the wall trying to see what’s come our way. I wasn’t ready for what I saw as the flames grew out burning everything with smaller rocks melting to magma then a huge figure flew out from the flames then landed on a massive stone. Smoke was coming off whatever it was, it had a massive mouth and eyes both glowing yellow. The smoke cleared off and what I was looking at was a dragon easily five times the size of the fort. It had to be nearly two-hundred foot tall on all four with obsidian looking spikes and scales from up and down its body. The wings themselves looked like they were more like super thick leather.

“A true titan dragon…”

I looked at my side and hadn’t noticed Ember had come up beside me. “Ya, this will be more like the old days when I fight the monster of my world. By the ancestors this thing is as big as some of the s class monsters in the north a good deal bigger than the last mountain dragon I face. I know I can keep this thing's attention. You get Celestia to get everyone as far as you can then any kind of long range support you can.”

“YOUR CRAZY!”

I smiled as I cracked my knuckles as this thing looked our way. “Maybe, but you need to get going. NOW!” I jumped fist covered in a thick block of ice around my right fist.

‘YOU GOING TO GET US BOTH KILL!’

‘I know I’m throwing us in a head long battle but not much to do now! Give me everything you’ve been holding onto!’ The beast looked up then sent out a roar that broke the sound barrier as an ungodly amount of heat slammed into me. The shock of the roar threw me back slamming back into the ground and I couldn’t land clean. I spun and rolled on the ground before slamming into a rock wall.

“You're crazy! But, I want to live here!”

The waves of power fell down my body as black energy flew out of my body into the area around me but I could see clear as day. The dragon was looking at me as if it could tell I was staring it down. I laughed then jumped out heading for the beast. It spread its front legs spreading its wings and the scales looked like it was on fire. “This is the hill one of us will die on!” I jumped faster this time then threw a kick into the thick jaw armor of the right side of the jaw. A blast of air sent another shock wave out but the dragon didn’t move an inch. Not even a suff was on it.’Oh, fuck yes!’ I covered my left in lightning as I yelled. “Finally! an enemy I have to fight with everything I have!” I turned then slammed my left leg into the same spot with a blast of lightning running along its body. This time it moved a little but only an inch.

‘You’re strong.’

A female voice rang in my head then the dragon turned its head hitting me with an insane amount of force and sent me flying but this time I landed on my feet making two lines as I kept my eyes locked with it. “Did you?”

‘Yes, I did. I’m speaking straight into your mind. It has been some time since last I’ve felt even an ounce of pain. But, I felt both those kicks with even a pinch of pain.’

I smiled as I covered both hands in lightning. “Your face Troy Thanatos the god of death and destruction. All thought I don’t think even I may be able to drop you. I’ve never seen someone as strong as you my lady.” A smile formed on the dragon's face as She turned to look at me.

“Honest words and with power like those kicks it’s clear you’ve earned that title. I am the unholy dragon goddess Urgirth the destroyer of life.”

I nodded then slammed both fists together as I started to run at her as she turned quickly to try and hit me with her tail. I grabbed a hold of her tail and it was a light mountain hit as I tried to but I lost my footing then but not wanting to be sent flying again I froze my hands to her but the air blast took a massive part of the remaining forest out. But, I managed to stop the strike as she started to slow down a little. “My turn!” I slammed my right hand foot into the ground using all my strength and to both our surprise I pulled her back then I started to turn. Slowly but surely starting to spin picking up speed making her feet come off the ground. After a minute I had her spinning in a huge circle making a small tornado then I sent a blast of lightning into her body then threw her over my shoulder crushing the ground under her body. I broke my hands free of the ice then jumped up. Making two bowling ball sized balls of high voltage as she started to get to her feet. “Thunder falls!” I threw both balls down, the first hitting her in the head the second in her gut. The attack forced her deeper into the ground and I was heaving my arms and chest hurting from the extreme strength I was using.

“Troy!”

I looked up as Celestia flew down in the same armor she had on when she was fighting Moon with. “You need to get out of here. This dragon is way too much for y….!” Her tail shot out like a spear the end slammed into me and sent me flying and I smashed through the fort and slammed back into the ground sliding along the ground. I came to a stop after a full minute if I had to guess I took a few deep breaths as I looked up at the sky but I noticed something. The sun seemed to be getting brighter and brighter than a flash. A wipe like form of light flew down and crashed into the ground. A roar like I heard before came from the arar I was at then I jumped back up and started to run as I saw flames and black fight being thrown. Then Celestia was sent flying with her armor missing its shoulder and chest plate. I jumped up and grabbed her then air as she started to fall. She was alive, her breathing was steady at least. I landed in the fort and quickly ran to find a place to hide her.

“Ah!”

I looked down at Celestia as I ran up a set of steps to what was left of a tower. She was awake and looking up at me. “You're awake! Did the others get away?”

“Yes, they're heading for the capital and I think my arm is broken. My left wing also feels strange.”

I looked at her left arm and as it was swelling up and down. “Fuck, can you teleaport away?”

“I… I think so. But, you can’t beat something like that!”

I stopped as I reached the top as I looked out an open part of the wall and saw she was slowly making her way to where I was sent flying. ‘Good, she’s looking for me.’ I laid her down against the wall and grabbed her face making her look at me. “Celestia listen to me! She looked me in the eyes and I pressed my head to hers then gave her a kiss before standing back up as she looked up at me. “This is what I was bred for to fight. I will stop the dragon here you get back to the nearest friendly outpost. I can hold that thing and when you get out of here send a letter to the others I want Equestria on high alert. If anymore demons are summoned, we're too far to do a damn thing. I need you to protect our people, our foal, Flare needs her mother if the worst happens.” She looked at me tears in her eyes then she nodded as her horn lit up and she was gone. I sighed as I unstrapped my knives on my chest, my cloak pulled my shirt off then drew the moon sword as she started to talk in my mind.

“Where are you!? I want to keep fighting you!”

I took my boots and socks off then jumped out the opening as she turned around a smile on her face as she looked at me.

‘Oh,~ I see you’ve lost some of the clothes and a weapon now?”

I huffed as I made the blade twice as big out of ice making the edge as sharp as I can then covered the whole thing in lightning. ‘I need to think I need time to come up with a plan.’ I started to walk to her and she started to stomp her way over to me. “So, what happens if I manage to beat you?” She laughed then moved a clawed hand to her chest then drug her claws around making a symbol over the center of her chest then moved the hand and I saw what she had carved into her thick scales. It was a crest of a dragon with long waves like spikes eating it’s own tail.

“Let a single drop of your blood fall into this crest and I will be yours and I will listen to your orders. Now, what do I get if I beat you?’

I smiled then reached back into my second magic bag. I pulled Rongo Rongo out as she looked at it. I have a magic bag on the back of my belt holding five legendary weapons I would offer you all seen but the other two I could never let fall in the wrong hands.” She smiled as she looked at the book then to my shock she stood up. She was easily six-hundred foot tall and she smiled.

`Well, if we're both fighting for these things then I better be in my true form.”

I watched as her body took on a black glow then she started to shrink down until she was a good nine foot tall, a full foot and half as taller than me. The glow vanished and she had full black scales with sea blue eyes like mine. She had leather wraps around her ankles with a wrap around her right thigh. With a beautiful leather skirt with a published pick of metal holding up the skirt with a string of pearls with a large leather strap around her chest with a bra of some kind holding her breast. The last thing I noticed was a necklace with a spike dragon head.her wings would be a good fifteen feet wide and had spikes running down the sides of her tail with a spear head and a crescent moon like blade attached to the end of her tail.

She stretched her arms and wings out a smile on her face as she spoke.

“Ah, I’ve forgotten what it was like to be in my true form. Though I don’t remember my breast being this small.”

She cupped her breast and but they were a nice double b cup. She wasn’t huge like many mares or the other I’ve seen but she was a stunning dragoness. “You know this may be bad to say with what’s going down but I think you're impressive in your other form but this one is stunning besides breast size isn’t everything. If you want my opinion, big breasts or flanks are only skin deep. I think you have to look inward to see one’s true beauty.” She smiled as she laughed into her hand then nodded her head.

“My, you have a way with words Troy Thanatos. I wish I had found you nearly eight-thousand years ago.”

I laughed as well then got in my stance making her smile as she readied her claws covering them in blue flame. I made a pick of ice then threw it into the air. A few seconds fell on the ground then we jumped and she grabbed a hold of my sword as I swung the blade and the impact sent a massive shock wave taking her to a knee but to my shock she busted my sword into pieces with just her hands. Then she head butted me and I felt my nose break then fix as the energy rapidly healed me. I dropped the handle then slammed a thunder charge and punched her in the face with a blast of air forcing her back a foot or two. ‘Without that extra weight this will be much easier!’ I grabbed the strap then slammed the butt of the sword handle. She didn’t seem to care about it as she grabbed my throat then threw me head first into the ground. I lost the handle then she kicked me in the rib cage breaking all the ribs on my right side and sent me spun and roll but she was there as I slowed down threw a kick into my gut then threw her leg up sending me into the as as she jumped with a spin then kicked me face first back into the ground. I coughed as I landed then she crashed back down on top of my solar plexus breaked all my ribs right as the right rib cage healed. ‘She’s using me as a fucking toy!’ I grabbed a hold of her ankel as she trid to jump off but I threw her into the ground beside me and got on her as she tried to turn to face me but I slammed my left palm into the center of her wings and made her scream for the first time as I felt and sae then come out of the sockets.

“AHAH!”

She threw her tail around my neck as I just managed to grab her tail before the end could stab or cut me.

“You’ll pay for that!”she threw me to the side with her tail but I grabbed onto the ground then grabbed her right wing jerking it to the side as she tried to pull me away making her ground so she turned a pissed on her face like I wanted. I quickly formed a ball of plasma by supercharging my fore energy with my lightning in my free hand. “Eat this!” I threw my arm forward as she crossed her arm to try and protect herself. The energy traveled far off then hit a mountain in the distance completely destroying it. I looked at her and she had some burns on her arms. I grabbed as close to the blades at her tail then squeezed as I would and I felt bones popping. She loosened her tail and I slammed another punch into the base of her tail right above her lower part of her spine. I felt completely limp as it dislocated.”

“Get off!”

She threw her legs but I grabbed a hold of her legs. ‘I have to chip away at her and end this before she can change back.’ I kicked her in the face then slammed my hand on the ground then threw my legs back getting to my feet dragging her up as I stood then I threw her over my shoulder then dropped down slamming her and jumped up then made two ice lances then covered them in fire and lightning. I threw them at her then both stabbed into her gut as then I crossed my arms to black some of the damage. They blew and I was thrown back as a second blast hit it from the lower side of blast a bright red energy then both the blew up and I heard her scream again as my arms were burned to a crisp. My legs also burned but not anywhere near as bad but the flames were quickly healing everything as she flew out of the blast crater. Her wings and tail now fixed as I watched the blue flames traveled over her body as she stopped to look down at me. As the burns fully healed while I tried to think of another plan.

“Oh, your immortal as well. My that does explain more than a few things about you.”

I smiled as I covered my two fists in a set of ice spike knuckles dusters with both covered in fire and lightning. “Let's talk more brawling!” I jumped up at her and she flapped her wings flying higher in the air. I started to send a stream of flames out from my feet, letting me chase after her. She turned mid-air then took a deep breath and sent a stream of blue flames at me. I threw my feet forward and I flew up into the air as she moved her head trying to burn me. I threw my legs straight then with a burst of speed I shot forward and as in front of her then before she could stop me I threw a punch connecting with her jaw sending a powerful punch right into her left temple she dropped a few feet but quickly flapped her wing and she slammed into me and he spun as she punched me in the face and then clawed me across the chest. I grabbed her throat then sent another burst of energy to me feet and slammed us into the ground then started to beat on her everywhere she couldn’t block with her arms. My spikes weren’t breaking her scales but were scratching them. She tried her tail again but I was ready this time. I grabbed it as I kept on hitting with my right hands. I was going to use the seal but I wanted to see everything she could do. An unknown that is too big a rick even if I have to end this fast.

‘Master I think I figured out how to end this!’

She threw a leg back claws stabbing into my back then jerked me back; the rolls now reversed as she rained down punches along with a stab from her tail. I covered my arms in ice and really cared about the punches just the stabs.She looked down at me with a smile on her face and I saw in her eyes I was smiling too.

‘I think you can pin her I can put everything into a single strike and with the right place it should end this.’

‘Do it I’ll get her!”

I kneed her back taking her by surprise then I grabbed her horn then slammed her face fist into the ground then pulled my right back my foot holding her tail down.

‘I need twenty seconds!”

Urgirth I think her name was thrown her wing out then another slash formed across my chest forcing me to let her go and she went away. I dodged two more strikes as white energy formed around my fist as all my elements spun around my arm.

“What!?”

She looked scared for the first time as I jumped right in front of her then sammed the punch into her face starting to threw her waved as everything I have hitting her before I threw my arm all the way down as she slammed head first into the ground my punch breaking her right horn then I released the power and a blast unlike anything I’ve ever made the groundbreaking open making a massive crater, rocker and bolder flying with all the air forced out of the area then it rushed back and a enormous tornado spun around us.

I stood over her as she laid on the ground golden blood coming from her nose and mouth. Then I noticed my blood as half red and silver. I nodded my head as I held a hand over the crest in the center of her breast and a few drops fell into the bottom of the circle of the lower part of the crest. It flashed black then her body shrank down her breast and flanks grew out of about as big as Celestia’s and she would be about the same height now as tall as me. I laughed as I looked down at her then I fell back on my back my body hurting and burning as I laid there. I looked over at my arms and saw my right arm was broken with bones poking out of my skin. ‘My adrenaline must be keeping the pain from hitting me for the moment.’ Urgirth is down so I think we're good now Shadow.’

“Yes master, and I can sense dragons, and Luna heading this way.”

I laughed as I laid there as I tried not to pass out as I saw spots coming this way. After a minute she and a dozen dragons landed. Luan started to run over to me dressing in thick plate armor. She ran over to me and dropped to her knees as she looked down at me and my busted up arm. I laughed as she looked at me. “It’s over, Urgirth is out for a while but I’m not moving for a while either. I haven’t gone all out like that in nearly two years. I forgot how much it can hurt to fight someone stronger than me too.”

“Look, stop talking we’re getting you to the capital.”

Luna waved over some of the dragons and a large white scaled dragon reached down to grab me but Urgirth tail shot out cutting the hand off making him scream as he grabbed the arm. I was shocked then tried to get up as Urgirth stood up looking down at me. Luan turned flaring her wings, her horn glowing as she looked up at her. She smiled then sat down as she looked at Luna.

“I’m done fighting him mare. I’ve never been knocked out before he’s won not only the fight but has won me over and my respect. In eight-thousands years I’ve never once been bested in battle. Troy you truly are a formidable foe for any to face.

“RAH!”

The male tried to punch her then she turned and he stopped dead as she looked at her.

“Get lost weakling.”

She threw her hand up and the same blue flames hit him. A second later his whole body went up and he was gone a second later. I was shocked and that explained how she broke my sword so easily. Then she looked back down at me, the flames still on her hand.

“Now then.”

She shoved Luna away then rested her hand on my chest. Then covered my body in the blue flames. My body quickly healed out as I shot up and she smiled as I touched my hands around as the fire died out.

“Troy!”

Luan jumped over and pulled me back as she glared at her. I laughed as I laid back into the hold as the dragons looked down at us. “Your fine Luna.” I started to move around my body cracking and popping as I stood up with both their help. I rubbed my arms and rolled my shoulders as I stood there. “By my ancestors I haven’t fought that hard since I killed Esdeath.” Urgirth laughed then pulled me away from Luna before kicking her back with a smile on her face then wrapped both arms and a wing around me.

“Well mare I’ll be taking him now bye.~”

Blue flames covered us and it felt like I turned into air then we came out of the fire and I dropped to my knees.

I was in deep snow as I was shocked and awed at the site. We were on a huge mountain range with a castle that seemed to run through the mountains and some clouds even looked like dragons flying around.

“Do you like our home?”

I turned back to look at her as she looked down at me.

“You mean your home.” I got myself to my feet but I was shaking on my feet but she wrapped her arms around me helping me stand.

“Well, really it’s your castle now that you beat me and I will take you back as I’m sure someone like you has a hoard maybe even younglings?”

I nodded, then stood back up my body slightly weak still. “Ya, more than a few with a few more coming.”

“Aw, well them and the mothers are free to come here. But, before that let me show you around after we get your strength back.” She pressed her hand into my chest then energy was entered into my body. I felt that it was damn near identical to my energy. “How!?” She smiled as I stood up and my balance was back.

“I can absorb magic or in your case elemental energy to keep myself strong.”

I huffed then waved her on as she smiled.

“You're a slave driver.”

I rolled my eyes as she started to talk to me as we started to walk through the snow to the huge door.

“This is the castle my followers built for themselves and me. But, with all the fires out and the empty look of the place I’d say it’s been abandoned for a long time.”

We got to the gate then I pushed open a door. Ice and frost crack and break as I shoved it open. The door got stuck on a huge chunk of ice as Urgirth nodded as she looked into the castle.

“How sad.”

.I nodded as we walked into the dark castle. “Ya, but I have questions.” I made a ball of fire in my hand with as little energy as I could.

“Yes Master?~”

I blushed then glared at her as she laughed a little. “Really!?” She laughed into her hand as we walked.

“Oh, relax Troy. If you're wondering why we're still not fighting it's because of the crest. It’s a hoard masters crest. It’s one that shows I’m the head of your dragon hoard that I’m sure you’ll someday make.”

I looked at her as we walked down the iced up wall and floors. “Ok, so that makes me what a?” She smiled as she spoke.

“My mate.”

I stopped dead as she laughed and kept walking down the hall. Then she stopped to look back at me then slapped her new rounder ass as she looked at me.

“This crest also changes my body to match the figures the male likes the most. I must say you must like to be the large and powerful dominant in the relationship.”

I blushed and she laughed as she looked at me then huffed as she laughed then she walked over and took my free hand.

“Come on, there was a massive fire crystal in the lower levels.”

I pulled my hand free and she huffed as she led the way. As we walked I was slowly realizing just how big this place was as we entered a greathall.

Massive columns stood hundreds of feet above us with what looked like metal and gold and in the back as a golden throne.

“Oh my bad, I took us to the throne room. Five and a half thousand years make the mind foggy.”

I huffed then as she walked beside me and smirked then slapped her ass making her jump and gasp. She turned back glaring at me as I smirked. “Sorry, my hand slipped but that’s a firm ass you got there.” She blushed then clawed at me as I laughed a little. “Get going.” She huffed then started to walk again and I smiled as she walked.

“You're a hatchling.”

“A hatchling that managed to knockout a goddess.”

Stopped huffed then crossed her arms then started to walk again.

“Shut up.”

I laughed as we started to move lower into the mountain and I saw dragons carved into the walls then I started to see alicorns. I stopped and Urgirth looked back at me as I looked at the male and female alicorns carved into the stone.

“I see you noticed the former alicorns. What happened to their race was so sad they were so gifted with their magic.”

I looked at her as she looked at a few of the stone figures. “Are you telling me there used to be more Alicorns?” She nodded as she started to walk again. I quickly followed her wanting to know what she was talking about.

“A great plague struck them, killing all the Alicorn stallions and leaving only two mares left. Thankfully they were pregnant with one filly already born but until today I hoped that one would be a colt but I guess those hopes were dashed.”

I smiled as we walked then we came up to a huge door made from what looked like obsidian.

“It’s through here, once we lit it we’ll head back to the battlefield.”

I nodded then we opened the doors and walked deeper and I noticed her was slightly warmer here. ‘Um, must be heard a lava vein nearby.’ We turned a corner and I saw a huge crystal.

A huge red crystal was stabbed into a stone olter with a little bit of steam coming from the rock.

“My, it’s still got a little magic in it after this long.”

We walked over and I held my fire close to it to get a look at the black line on the crystal. But when my flames got close the crystal glowed then the flames from my hand were pulled away and was absorbed into the body of the crystal. A small fire came from the olter then started to grow out turning into a bonfire covering the crystal. Bright lights came out of the olter and traveled some carving in the floors and walls. In what looked like torch holder flames erupted out lighting up the hall as it moved more fires lit up as the light traveled.

“Well, it will take about four hours for all the lights and heat to get back up. That will also get the water and forge going again. I guess we can go back now.”

She grabbed me and the flames covered us then I fell face first into the center of the burn out field in the middle of the army.

“TROY!”

I felt something grab ahold of what’s left of my cloak then I was jerked back across the ground. A pair of blue arms around my neck with a black hand on my chest.

“Thank the hive!”

Chrysalis grabbed my face with her free hand rubbing her check into mine as Luan flared her wings and magic as she glared at Urgirth as she laughed into her hand.

“Oh you two can relax. I was only showing Troy his new castle.”

The two looked down at me and I smiled as I looked at them. “You two are going to love this place. It’s like my homeland full of ice and snow.” I smiled as the two of them looked at each other.
