Loyalty Of The Creed

Chapter 20: Loyalty Of The Creed

Previous Chapter


Rusty and dirt covered chains clung to the stallion's legs. Ridding him from any movement, what so ever. His dark cyan wings tightly closed and tied by a leather cord. His now dirt and blood riddled mane hung loosely over his dark rose eyes. He held his head down. Down in shame. He had caused so much. So much pain. Tears filled his eyes as he realised his greatest mistakes. Ignoring his parents. Believing they hated him. Hating his sister....killing his sister. After he was taken away by the guards, after watching his sister fall to the ground in a bloodied heap, he never heard anything about her. Nothing. Whether she was dead or not. His mind filled with the statues of his mother and father.

Blitzen was awoken from his daydreaming to the sound scraping and clanging metal. He looked up to see a grey pegasus stallion in a white cloak.

"Assassin, huh? You look a little weak to be one." Blitzen croaked. Thunderlane growled at him.

"Look who's talking." Thunderlane sneered.

"H-How's my sister?" The chained pony asked.

"What? The mare that you nearly killed? The love of my life? The pony that is lying in a hospital bed DYING?!" Thunderlane yelled.

Blitzen gulped.
"Wait. Did you say, love of your life?"

"Yes. We both admitted our feelings the day before the fight. We shared our love in the arena." He slyly smirked.

"What?!" Blitzen jumped up and tackled the assassin. Even with his chains on, he managed to pin him down. "You-you had sex with my sister?! My sister!!" He yelled as he punched Thunderlane in the ribs.

"What planet are you living on? No. I haven't. We kissed. Sweet Celestia!! I care for her personality over body. But, she does have a pretty sexy body though." Thunderlane yelped as Blitzen grabbed the dagger from his belt, and shoved it into his side.

"That's my sister!" Blitzen growled.

"Oh, and you suddenly care? You were trying to kill her not so long ago." Thunderlane coughed. His white cloak turning into a deep shade of red.

"I was wrong. I was so wrong. I did love her. I did love my parents. My jealously got in the way of it." Blitzen's slouched slightly.

"It got in the way a lot!! You have killed the Creed, you jerk!! You killed Dash!!" Thunderlane coughed some more. "I was going to love her. I was going to marry her. Have a family with her. And we were going to die together. I said to the girls that if Rainbow does die, I'll die with her."

"Well, I better send you on your way then." Blitzen raised the dagger, but was stopped as Thunderlane used bracers. There he stabbed Blitzen in the arm. The cyan pegasus howled in pain. But quickly grabbed Thunderlane's throat before he got away. "Die!! Die with my brat of a sister!!"

"Guards!! GUARDS!! ROGUE PRISONE-" Thunderlane couldn't finish his sentence as his own dagger was stabbed into his chest. Directly into his heart.

Five stallion guards bursted through the cell bars. Three of which pulled the pegasus off the assassin. The two remaining guards stood with Thunderlane. Who was spluttering up the sticky red liquid.

"Sir?"

"T-T-Te-ll...M-Mist-ress D-Da-sh....I'm...I'm sorry...." Thunderlane fell limp. His eyes gently shut. His blood pouring over the floor.

~~~~~~

Rainbow Dash staggered back as Celestia told the story that Blitzen had given her. The pegasus shook her head and staggered back. Tripping over her own hooves, and falling to the ground. Everypony watched as she silently cried. Unable to say a word as she cried.

Twilight stood up and walked to the crying pegasus. She sat next to her and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry, Rainbow. You've already been through enough."

Rainbow silently wailed into Twilight's chest. Everypony felt their own tears as they stared at the distraught pegasus. Feeling her sorrow.

~~~~~

"Raaaiiiinnbooow. Rainbow Dash." A voice called.

The mare opened her eyes. She saw darkness all around.

"Rainbow. Come to my voice." It called yet again.

Rainbow Dash rose to her hooves and slowly trotted around. Her ears twitching. She tried calling out, but nothing came out.

Suddenly, at the corner of her eye, a figure approached her. Rainbow quickly pushed the pony and pinned them down. But her eyes opened wide as she saw the face of the pony. She mouthed a single name, 'Thunderlane'.

Thunderlane smiled.
"Hey there, Rainbow."

Rainbow continued to stare. Unable to move. Thunderlane raised his hoof and rubbed her throat.
"Come on Dashie. Don't you want to speak to me." He gave a playfull frown.

"...b-but I can't." Rainbow gasped as she could finally speak. "How?"

"Anything can happen here, Dash."

Rainbow instantly kissed the stallion under her. Finally being able to see him again. After about a minute, Rainbow pushed herself away and burst into tears.

"Why did you have to leave me? I loved you." She wailed as she hugged Thunderlane.

"I didn't want to, but your brother had other ideas." He wiped the mare's tears with his grey wing. "Don't cry, Dash. It doesn't suit you."

"B-but...I can't live without you. There must be some way. Twilight is princess. She can do something princess-y."

Thunderlane laughed.
"That's what I said when you were in hospital. We are connected." He continued to laugh until he looked into Rainbow's rose, pain filled eyes. "Oh, Rainbow. Don't be upset."

"What am I going to do?"

"Rainbow. You're a pretty mare with lots of personality. I'm sure you'll find another stallion to love you." Thunderlane began to blur.

"Wait! No! Don't leave!!"

"Goodbye Dash." He placed his nearly transparent hoof on Rainbow's chest. "I'm always in here." His voice and body faded into the darkness.

"No! Don't leave me!!"

~~~~~~

T'was the day of the execution of Blitzen James Dashery. A few Canterlot ponies came to watch the first execution in over a thousand years. Most of the ponies were assassins. However, they were not wearing their cloaks. To avoid getting noticed and crowded by paparazzi. Celestia stood on a stage. Along with Luna, Cadence and Twilight. Rainbow didn't want to come. Not saying why. Set up in the middle on the stage, was a gallow. A thick rope hanging from it.

"My little ponies. We are here to witness the execution of horrible pony. A leader of an organisation that kill. That wanted to destroy our peace and love. To kill and enslave everyone." The crowed booed. "However, due to another organisation, he was stopped. Through thick and thin, these ponies fought to protect you. To protect everypony. These ponies...are assassins. Of The Assassins Creed. And the Leader of The Creed had pushed away her pains and misery to continue her duty. She lead The Creed for many years into great victories. She fought the Leader Blitzen to protect Equestria's newest princess, Princess Twilight Sparkle. No matter her injuries, she never gave up. The Assassins have finally defeated their biggest enemy and threat." The assassins in the crowed cheered. "But, to complete this victory, we must kill their leader. Blitzen Dashery."

Three guards dragged up the stallion pegasus, who was in chains. Everypony booed as he walked on. Blitzen glanced at Twilight. The guards placed the rope over Blitzen's head, and around his neck. The guards then trotted to the side.

"Blitzen James Dashery. You are to be executed on the charges of murder and leading a dark organisation that feed on crime. Such as rapings, murder, torture, kidnappings and so on. You are also charged with the attempted assassination of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Miriam Dashery. You are also charged with the murder of Thunder Louis Lane, first hoof pony of The Creed. Do you understand?" Princess Luna asked. Blitzen nodded. "Well then. Pull the lever an-"

"Wait!!"

Everypony gasped and turned to a pegasus mare trotting onto the stage. She was wearing a black cloak. Her wings and hooves still in bandages.

"Rainbow?! You said you weren't coming!" Twilight shouted.

"I say a lot of things." Rainbow smirked as she trotted up to the chained stallion.

"Rainbow. I'm sorry about this. I'm sorry about everything. I'm sorry about killing Thunderlane. Just please, forgive me." Blitzen begged.

Rainbow paused, and then smiled.
"Nope."

"What? Please Rainbow." He cried.

"Nope. Never. Curse your soul to the deepest depths of Tartarus, you bloody disgraceful scoundrel. You are not worthy of The Dashery family or The Creed." Rainbow turned to Luna, and nodded. "Proceed please."

"Oh. Umm...pull the lever. To death you go Blitzen."

"Nononono! Wait!" He shouted as Rainbow walked away. "I'm sorry!" Were his last words. Everypony but Rainbow winced at the sound of the rope twanging and Blitzen's neck snapping.

"To be never forgiven." Rainbow whispered as she left. "You lost your loyalty for The Creed."

~~~~~~

"Fluttershy. Are you sure she went this way? I mean, dear, she could have gone anywhere." Rarity asked. The five mares were walking (one of them bouncing) through a wood under Cloudsdale.

"Wait! What's that?" Pinkie pointed at a grand decaying house. The mares walked to the door of house.

"My, my, my. This house is beautiful. It's a shame it's ruined." Rarity was about to enter, but was stopped by a yellow pegasus.

"She won't be here. She would die if she came here. Too many happy memories...and a very very bad one." Fluttershy shook her head. "She went this way."

The mares stopped abruptly as they saw two great white statues. One of which, was a pegasus stallion in a cloak. With a sword in his right front hoof. To his left was a pegasus mare. She also wore a cloak but her hood was down, showing her flowing, puffy hair. On her back, was a bow and bunch of arrows. Both ponies sported confident smiles. By the statues were many flowers...and a pegasus mare.

~~~

"They're finally gone. We've done it. It may have not been together, but we did it. I kept my promise. I protected Twilight and the girls. The fillies as well. I couldn't protect Thunderlane, but he died for The Creed." Rainbow's tears began to freely flow down her cheeks. "Oh mother, father! I wish you were here. You didn't deserve to die. Utinam victoria videres. Victoriae nostrae. Etiam proditorem fratrem, et tamen vincitur. We still won." She paused and stared at the engravings on the statues. Even though most of it was in Latin, she understood it fully. But she stared at one line on the plaque.Rainbow sighed and placed her hoof over it. "I am and I will stay until I die." She looked into the sky and zoomed upwards. Unaware of the mares close by. They walked closer to the statue and looked at the plaque. They stared at the last line that Rainbow had touched.
