"What..." I said and she looked at me.
"The damage to her upper body and losing her left wing caused the foal to not get enough blood. So it died from not getting enough..." And with that I walked over to a crystal wall and I felt fire engulf my right hand as I then slammed it into the wall. "WHENEVER SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS I AM NEVER FUCKING THERE!" I yelled and every single word I yelled resulted in a fire fist to be hit into the wall. As I contained to punch the wall the crater in it got bigger and bigger until I could fit my entire arm into it and I then turned around and fell onto my ass crying. "How can I be called their husband if I couldn't even fucking protect one of them!" I yelled.
"Luke..." Love started but I cut him off.
"DONT YOU FUCKING SAY IT WASENT MY FAULT LOVE! I HAD ORDERED ALL OF THE GUARDS INTO THE COURTYARD AND THEREFORE IT WAS MY FAULT THAT THAT FUCKING MANIAC GOT TO LUNA! NOW YOU FUCKING TELL ME IT WASENT MY FAULT!" I yelled and he backed off and as soon as I slowly calmed down I stood up. "Love... Sorry for yelling but I have been through a lot. Could you grab Luna please? The rest of you are dismissed." With that everybody but love disappeared and love picked up Luna in his arms and we started to walk towards the entrance while I dragged the body of the pony maniac and as soon as we reached the door and went through it we were jumped by the girls. "Luke. What happened?" Celestia asked.
"This fucker I want the body burned for what he did. I need to go clear my mind. And for what happened... I will tell you all later." And with that I threw the body in front of them and quickly walked off and I walked into the garden and I entered the maze and walked around until I reached the middle and I sat down on the bench that was there. "I am such a fucking idiot... First rose is said to be the new nature elemental and now Luna loses her foal... I am so fucking ridiculous right now I should be a clown..." I said.
"LUKE!" I heard one of the girls yell and as soon as I lifted my head running towards me was twilight and as I put my head back down she slowed to a stop next to me. "I heard what happened from love..." She said sitting down next to me.
"And what all did he tell you?" I asked her.
"He told us everything that had happened Luke... And to think Luna... She is going to be so devastated when she wakes up..." And with that I snapped at the thought of her crying her heart out.
"That's not going to happen because I won't let it happen!" I said standing up quickly.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked me.
"Life and death!" I yelled and they appeared.
"Yeah?" Life asked.
"Hells entrance please." And with that they nodded and summoned their scythes and made the X and as soon as it appeared I jumped into it and closed it as soon as I jumped in. As soon as I landed back into the familiar world as hell I started to walk around and eventually found death talking to a few pony skeletons. "Death..." I said and the skeletons vanished and it turned around.
"So the angel has returned... For what reason..." For that I could sense a little anger in it voice.
"Before I get to the point I have to ask you if you recently received a maniac pony?" I asked and it nodded. "Put it in your worst tortures please for what he has done." Another nod. "Now I will get to the point. I have come for an unborn soul."
"That is a high price angel. Unborn souls are quite valuable here angel." It said which made me a little mad.
"Then name your fucking price." I then said.
"You have nothing more that I want angel..." He then said.
"Price." I said through gritted teeth.
"What would you be willing to do for the soul angel then?" It asked me.
"It's all up to fucking you." I then said.
"You will be my slayer..." It then said which confused me.
"Slayer?" I asked.
"The purpose of a slayer is to send souls that are too evil for this world for punishment." It then said.
"Okay then I'll do it." And with that it snapped its fingers and I felt something change inside of me. "What the fuck did you do to me?"
"Gave you the ability to see how good and bad pony's souls are. Whenever you see a pony just quickly blink and then it should activate and you will then see a color surrounding the pony and that is the goodness or badness of the soul. You must report to me every soul you find that has an orange to red color. But you must eliminate the black colors immediately." With that I got confused.
"Why the black?" I asked.
"Because those are souls that need to be taken immediately. I will send you back to where you created the entrance angel. I hope we all get to stay in touch in your mind." And with that it slammed its staff into the ground and I felt myself get traveled. Now a question formed in my mind. Was death a boy or a girl? Cause its voice changed with every sentence. As I appeared back in the maze surprising twilight I found myself holding a multicolored little orb in my left hand. "Luke. Where did you go?" Twilight asked me.
"I struck a deal with death. Now let's return this soul back to Luna." I said as she nodded and we ran through and then out of the maze and the first guard I saw pointed me in the direction of the infirmary. As soon as I got in it broke my heart when I saw Luna crying and the girls were trying to comfort her and I then walked over and she then started to cry into my shoulder. "It's okay Luna... I can help." I said and they all looked at me with confused and as she looked at me she also looked confused. "Struck a deal with death. Now stay still." And with that she nodded as I produced the multicolored orb and I slowly entered it into her stomach and then a little bump appeared on her stomach and everybody looked at me shocked. "I had to make up with it in some way." I said and they all stood their shocked still as Luna put a smile on her face and then cried happy tears into my shoulder as I petted her mane.
"Luke... What agreement did you make with death?" Celestia asked worried.
Don't tell her.
Since when are you in my fucking mind?
Since you became my slayer angel. If you tell her she will deem you too dangerous to be around.
Well then what do I fucking tell her?
Tell her... Tell her I said to keep it a secret and only when she finds it out she may know the whole story.
"Sorry Tia. Death says it's on lockdown until you actually see me do it then you can know the whole story." I said as she nodded in agreement and I co tinned to comfort Luna when I felt an evil presence. An evil soul is near angel.
Yeah I fucking felt it. Where?
Should be entering the room in a few minutes.
Well then give me details.
This pony is a doctor here in the castle and has always hated the royal family. Was deemed by my other slayer red about a year ago but before further Intel could be gathered my slayer died to magic overuse.
Thanks. As I quickly blinked my eyes I saw everyone's soul colors. Celestia was in lime green, Luna's was in more yellow then green, rainbow dash was in green, applejack was in green, shadow was in a green that was lighter than full on green but darker then lime green, Fluttershy's was in green, and I noticed a guard in the room was blue. Guess he was in between. As I continued to look around the room and soon my target walked into the room... And his soul was black. Shit. "Looks like you are all about to see my job sooner than I thought." I said and I immediately summoned the dark scythe and I threw it at the pony who screamed in horror before being hit by the scythe and his entire body disintegrated and as I caught the scythe and put it away I looked at the others who had looks of horror. "Well I am given a secret and I am forced to get rid of it a couple minutes later... Karma is a bitch. Okay here was my deal. I became deaths slayer." And with that Celestia and twilight and Luna gasped all at once.
"But they are myths..." Twilight muttered.
"Well they are true twilight. But what was about them in the myths?" I asked her.
"They are said to be able to see the purity of a pony's soul." Luna said.
"Well that is correct. Anything else?" I asked them.
"Well the slayers were all wearing a traditional black cloak..." Celestia said. Death?
The slayers held souls inside of the cloak to use a powerful death magic if they possessed any. But you will be gifted with one when you regain yours.
Well thanks for the info. "Well death says that is true but I will not go into details." With that twilight got curious.
"Death is here?" She asked looking around the room.
"Nope. He talks in my fucking mind which is going to be annoying since I already have the Elementals and the emotions in my head so now I get to add him to the mix. Just. Fucking. Great." And with that I sighed before looking at them. "Hope this doesn't make you all angry at me?"
"Why would we be angry at ya?" Applejack asked.
"Well because I was ordered to kill every soul that was black immediately. So I hope to god none of you become evil for as long I am alive." And with that they smiled but Celestia and Luna tensed up. "When I see one of you tense up it means you are hiding something. Spill." With that they sighed before looking at me.
"Luke... You remember the first war you went into?" Celestia asked.
"Yes. Why do you ask?" I asked.
"Well after you released a powerful nova blast. You had lost a lot of blood and I... Gave you some of mine." Luna said. I don't see any reason that this would be bad.
"Yeah so what?" I asked.
"Luke... You are now immortal." Hook... Line... Sinker...
"Good one Luna but what is it really?" They looked at me with a serious look. Which means... They are speaking the truth. "I'm... Going to live forever?" I asked gripping my head.
"Yes." Celestia answered putting her head down.
"I'm going to see rose fucking grow up and die... I... Need to go." And with that I ran out of the room and down the hallways until I eventually reached my room where rose was fast asleep in and I only stifled a cry as I walked over and sat down next to her and started to pet her mane. As she moved around in her sleep I cried a little more before the golden orb appeared. "What the fuck do you want?" I asked not looking away from rose.
"We must talk about her..." He said and I snapped.
"And I am not in the mood to talk about her! She... Is going to grow up and die while I will still be alive!" I exclaimed.
"You forget some things about elementals." He then said floating over.
"Oh and what might that me?" I asked in a snarky tone.
"Elementals live until they decide to die... Or they are killed." And with that my face brightened.
"You're not pulling my leg?" I asked because if he was joking I was seriously going to be pissed if he was.
"I am not angel. But now we must talk about her. It would be wise just to give her to the other elementals to train her."
"I already fucking told them no and I will tell you the same answer. No." I said with a little anger in my voice.
"That was until I came up with a compromise. Rose must travel with you and-"
"Fuck you!" I then said standing up. "And put rose in harm's way while she is with me? Fuck. You." I said.
"Then you must stay here and let the elementals train her while they train you. But once you learn all of these elements you must begin your journey once again with her and your mates. I had already punished then for harming then and potentially harming the foals as well." Realization in mind.
"Hey mind telling dark something for me?" I asked.
"Yes. What is it?" He then asked.
"Tell him I did win the duel and he must give Luna's brother a decision to either stay or go and that he can go wherever he wants and that he has to train me out of his realm."
"I will relay the message to him. For now I will send you fire to train with your fire magic." With that I nodded and he disappeared and then fire appeared.
"A couple things. You try and take my daughter and I will kill you. The other thing is try not to be an ass."
"I will do the first one. The second request is denied." He said smiling.
"Yeah yeah. Fuck you. I will meet you into the courtyard." With that he disappeared after a nod and I slowly woke up rose and as she looked around d and saw me I picked her up. "Rose they are not going to try and take you away anymore okay?" She nodded. "Good. Now want to come and watch me hurt myself with fire magic?" She gave little giggle as I took it as a yes as I started to walk towards the courtyard and when I got there fire had set up a few targets and guards were all watching him with interest. "So what's up first fire?"
"You must first let me see if you can let fire magic flow through you and that you can control it." He said and I set rose down who then ran off to the side and I closed my eyes and started to concentrate. As I felt the fire magic deep inside of me react to my concentrate it I started to set it into my veins and through my entire body. "Good. Now try and hit the targets with the fire." With that I opened my eyes and immediately fire balls went flying from the fire engulfing my body and they all except for one hit the targets leaving only one standing. "How much I feel like a fantastic four right now." I muttered as I let the fire die down and fire walked over.
"Good. Now time to use it in offense. Try and lay a single hit on me." With that I shrugged and as I charged him with fire in my fist and as he side stepped I thrust my left hand to my left and fired a jet of flame sending my right fist spinning right into his face sending him back a few feet and he looked at me amazed. "For a beginner of fire magic you already know propulsion with it." He said smiling as he walked over putting on a wicked grin. "Which means I can have a little fun." That can't be good. As he suddenly appeared next to me and kicked me in the side sending me tumbling on the ground and hitting the wall I ducked just in time to avoid a fire hoof to where my face used to be and when j tried to summon armor I found out I couldn't... Son of a bi- I didn't even get to finish that thought as I was then punched in the gut and then my legs were swept out from under me and I was then kicked just before I hit the ground sending me tumbling on the ground once more and as I almost slammed into a few guards but they moved out of the wall I stood up spitting blood from my mouth. As I stood straight up I could see several guards restraining rose from running towards me. "You pack quite the kick." I told him as I started to walk towards Fire.
"I am the elemental fire idiot. So my emotion would be rage." He said smiling.
"Well I got a rage of my own but he's out for the moment." I said as I charged him and as he tried to sweep out my legs but j jumped and tackled him sending us both tumbling in the ground and I winced from the bite that maniac pony had given me earlier. As I kicked him off of me into the air I lit my right fist with fire and I then jumped at him. "FIRE FIST OF RAGE!" I yelled as I then punched him square in the gut and he went flying even higher into the sky and that was when I heard a muffled scream and when I looked down I saw all 5 of the day guards in the courtyard were now on the ground unconscious and I then spotted rose being dragged away by a pony in a dark cloak. "FUCK NO!" I yelled as I went hurling towards him and as I landed in front of him sending him flying backward and throwing rose into the air and as I caught her from the air I was hit in the neck by a blue dart. "My employer wanted her alive... I can't believe that blood lied about killing you. That just means I can calm my rage by killing you here!" And with that as soon as I pulled the dart out I felt woozy as I stumbled where I was standing and as soon as rose was standing up in the ground I fell to my knees next to her. "Rose! Go to mommy and stay with her!" I yelled as she nodded and ran into the castle.
"Oh no you bucking won't!" The pony said but as he was about to run past me I grabbed his back leg and then flipped him over me onto his back.
"You stay the fuck away from my daughter!" I yelled as I then coughed up some blood and I then grabbed the stallion's throat and lifted him off the ground slowly as I stumbled on my feet. "Poison... Should have... Killed you... Horse!" He fucking didn't!
"Here's the thing buddy! I! Am! Not! A! Pony!" I yelled as I then smashed him into the ground and before I fell onto the ground passing out I noticed several figures in black hurrying over to where I was and all I could tell was that they weren't running... They were slithering...
Luna's POV
"So he brought back the soul of the foal?" I asked and Celestia nodded in happiness and I squealed with joy.
"This is to be the first Alicorn foal born since me and Luna were born over a thousand years ago!" Celestia exclaimed.
"Well that's good for ya but what about Luke and his immortality?" Twilight asked and we looked down with worry.
"Yeah it was mighty good for you to make him immortal but now was a bad time to do so." Applejack exclaimed and I sighed.
"Without Luke we would have all not been here today numerous occasions." I said and they all nodded.
"Mommy!" I heard rose yell and when I looked at the door rose ran in with tears in her eyes and she jumped onto my bed and started to hug me.
"It's okay sweetie. I'm alright."
"Daddy's hurt!" She then cried when she calmed down and we all stiffened.
"Where rose?" I asked.
"Get him onto a bed!" A new voice yelled and as we looked at the door several cloaked beings came into the room and one quickly set Luke down onto a bed to my left and I gasped. "Now what healer?" One asked another.
"His pony and human blood are no match for the poison in him. We must transfer some of our blood into him to try and fight the poison!" Another one said and I watched as one of them cut a small wound enough to let out blood on a white arm and then one on Luke and as Luke's blood slowly spilled out of them then turned to us. "Princess of Equestria. We require your assistance." The cloaked being said and my sister walked over and took the blood of the unknown being and duplicated it a little and then inserted it into Luke and then closed the wound. "With both human and pony blood it might not accept the blood just given. But who are you?" My sister asked the cloaked beings.
"Should we answer her my king?" One asked the taller being.
"We shall wait for my friend to wake up first. If we hadn't gotten here in time or even come here he would have died. Our blood defeats most poisons so he should have a chance to survive. I understand when my son said the city was beautiful except the guard all tried to take us in for unknown reasons." The tall one said and then Luke's body started to spasm. As we watched his body the spasms became more and more frequent until they eventually stopped and I noticed Luke was now breathing normally so I sighed with relief. "The blood has been accepted into the body and will start to produce just like the other two." My sister said smiling.
"Then all we have to do is wait for him to wake up." One of the beings said as he sat down on the right side of Luke.
"We thank you for helping him." I said.
"I remember that voice princess Luna." And with that I froze and then figured out who the beings were.
"King Ames?" I said surprised and the tall being laughed.
"Finally figured it out!" He said laughing.
"Sister, you know this being?" Celestia asked and I nodded.
"We were with his clan when Luke suddenly got the letter about rose. They took care of us but when they were attacked by an ancient enemy... That was when his son had died." I answered.
"And my friend here had killed the last of them all in revenge for my son. He was the dignitary that had first come here in the first place." Ames said.
"Well I am sorry for your lost. But why are you here?" Celestia asked.
"Well Suku's last request was to be buried by his new friend and that new friend would happen to be him." He said pointing at Luke. "So when I heard about what had happened I took a healer and a guard with me in case some things had happened here."
"Well your healer sounds like a wise one." Twilight said.
"That's because their healers are the best honeys."
Luke's POV
As I opened NY eyes and sat up in the bed and stretched I was happy to see all of the girls alright and I let out a sigh of relief. "You didn't need to come all this way your majesty but it was greatly appreciated." I said as he laughed.
"I knew I felt that something terrible was going to happen and I trusted one of my guts and look at where it brought me." The king said laughing.
"Well since you are here do you think it is also time to reveal yourselves?" I asked and he nodded before I turned to Celestia. "Princess Celestia, I give you king Ames of the Naga's." And with that he threw back his hood and Celestia stood there unfazed.
"It is a pleasure to meet a new species." Celestia said sticking out her hoof and they both shook before returning their hands of hooves back to their original position.
"But now I have one question. What did you all do to me about the poison?" I asked them and Celestia looked skittish.
"We had to give you some of our own blood to combat the poison in you my friend." The king told me.
"Well I thank you for that but isn't my body soon going to die from all of these different bloods inside of me?" I asked.
"That is a no." A familiar voice said as a golden orb appeared beside me.
"I'm guessing you knew that I was going to be poisoned did you?" I asked putting a smile on my face and crossing my arms.
"If I told you, you would have changed destiny and the future would have changed drastically." He said floating over.
"Luke. Who is this?" Rainbow dash asked me.
"Sorry for being rude but I would like you all to meet the creator. Also my boss." I said outing on a frown and slouching.
"The... Creator!" Applejack said flabbergasted at what I just said like everyone else.
"Yep. Sometimes I wonder why he doesn't talk like a wise old man." I said smiling.
"Because I can talk in any way I want." The orb pulsed.
"Yeah fuck you. So now what do we do?" I asked him.
"You must finish your element training before leaving back on the journey. When you leave take rose to the temple of nature." He said.
"Rose is not coming with us!" Fluttershy exclaimed.
"Well she is going to be the new nature elemental dear. So she needs to learn as much as possible." They then nodded in agreement but Fluttershy pondered it for a few minutes before she nodded as well. "Also I am happy because I found out as long as rose is the nature elemental she lives forever!" I yelled thrusting my hands into the air as they all sighed with relief.
"That's good Luke." Shadow said walking over and playfully hitting my arm.
"Of course it's good! I get to live with her forever!" I then yelled and then rose jumped onto my lap and fell asleep and I started to pet her mane. "She falls asleep at some of the best times." I said before looking at the king. "So now what are you going to do?" I asked him.
"I had returned to fetch you for my son's final wish. And it was to be buried by you." He said.
"Why me? Why not you?" I asked him but he sighed.
"Not even I know my friend. But if he wanted you to bury him that's what will happen." He said.
"Then I will go back with you today and do it quickly and then return here." As he nodded I turned to look at the girls. "If I am about to make any more deals... Please knock me out." And with that I felt a pain on my head and I blacked out.
Luna's POV
As I watched the warrior naga knock him out we all looked at him with surprise. "It's what he wanted." He said in his defense and then I toned out Fluttershy yelling at him and then with him soon slithering away to escape her rage while I cried to get out of the bed but Celestia pushed me back down. "You need the rest Luna." She told me and I sighed.
"Then what am I going to do here?" I asked her and she was pondering when she looked at me.
"I could send in the foals to keep you company and then you could give then the news." She suggested and I smiled. I haven't seen them in over a week and I missed then a lot.
"Thank you sister." I said smiling as she walked out of the took leaving me with everypony else besides Fluttershy and that naga. "Never take any of Luke's sayings for real." I said and the king nodded.
"That can be agreed on. But for now do you mind if we take Luke while he is unconscious? The sooner my son is buried the sooner he can go to the maker." As I nodded yes the healer grabbed Luke and they both slithered off.
