p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"The training was over; Ariston, Flame, and Olive were inside the silver unicorn's house having a conversation about the story of the rather mystical altars. They stayed there, also discussing about the legend of the blazing pegasi while eating some daisy sandwiches./span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Well, Flame. After seeing your combat abilities, there are no doubts left regarding you. That training proved that you're more than ready to enter the Elder Altar. However, before you do so, I have some stuff that I'd like to ask you first. I know that you probably already have the answer but, you know exactly what an Elder Altar is, don't you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Of course I do. They were built to hold the power of the Legendary Blazing Pegasi on a certain place to prevent it to fade away from the land of Equestria. I can sense and feel the magic whenever I come nearby the Altar./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Yes, and you know that there isn't only one, right? You sure know that there are two more Elder Altars in this country./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Yeah. Frozen Isle and Duskland have their own respective altar. But, knowing that I already know all that stuff, why would you ask?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Because what I'm about to tell you what your books didn't. The altars aren't there just for holding the power of the elder. What they really hold is a forbidden knowledge passed from generation to generation in the hope that one day someone will give continuity to it. However, the "someone" can't just be anyone, because it'd be too easy to obtain this knowledge. The "someone" must be a "relative" of the Elder Altar, or more specifically, a Legendary Blazing Pegasus. This "someone" must also learn the "three fire codes", which are a set of three books containing a very specific manipulation spell in each one of them. Each book is in each village that has an altar, meaning they're in Fallen, Frozen Isle and Duskland. Moreover, it is said that when you learn the spell inside one of those books, the altar correspondent to the book will then accept the presence of the Legendary Blazing Pegasus. The books almost work as a password and only the ones related in blood or birth to the Elder Altars will be able to learn the content of those three books./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"Suddenly, Ariston's assistant appeared before the two long term friends. She looked a bit anxious as if wanting to say something. And she did./span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Olive Tyler: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"That is why I gave you that book Flame. That book wasn't actually one of my works, it was instead one of those "fire codes" and you succeed in learning it! That book was passed down to me by my family and when my parents told me to protect it with all my strength, I didn't let anyone touch or even see it. That is also why I put a protective spell on that book; to prevent it from falling onto the hooves of the wrong pony. Only a Legendary Blazing Pegasus like you would be able to open it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Olive, why couldn't you tell me about the book? You know you can trust me!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Olive Tyler: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Because you'd grow your eyes on it and make numerous experiments that would certainly bring an end to it. And in anyways, only a pony like Flame Trail would be able to read the content since it is written in a restricted and banned language. My studies point out that it's written in Old Volcanic. I never had much time to study the language deeply since I was busy making and preparing the protection spell, but it is said that the language was first spoken inside of a volcano. Isn't that quite interesting?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"In a matter of seconds, something flashed through Flame's mind. A group of strange hooded ponies were inside a volcano practicing what it looked like a ritual. The vision appeared and disappeared so quickly that Flame Trail could barely tell what he just saw./span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame, are you OK? You seemed frozen for a moment./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"I'm alright. I was just "daydreaming". I don't know why, but when Olive said the word "volcano", my mind instantly showed me something./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail, putting his hooves on his head, tried to shake the thought of his little reverie out of his mind./span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"I hope you're not having one of those headaches that you used to have when we were young. By the way, congratulations on your acquired spell! I guess Fallen's Elder Altar will accept your presence now./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"It sure will, because I don't want to get disappointed. However, there is still something stuck in my head./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US" What is it?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"It's about the "Injury of Fire". It is told as an amulet with the ability to conjure a flame cloak. I've learned that a flame cloak it's a very efficient manipulation spell that can protect the manipulator from attacks of different elements, such as light. Any magical attack that originates from an element (such as light) will be "theoretically" consumed by the cloak, increasing the power of the amulet in the process. That's why I want to have it, because it will protect me from the dangerous light of Celestia and it will help me to defeat her. That's the reason for why I need to collect more information regarding the amulet; do you by chance know anything about it?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Yeah. I sure know lots of things regarding it. Just let me grab something./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"Ariston reached for a chest on his right and picked up a painting depicting an amulet. The amulet had a black base and a silver trim adorning a fiery gem. It had chains to hold the artifact around the neck of the user. Ariston showed the picture to Flame Trail, who looked perplexed./span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"I think the amulet that you're looking for is this one. I've made this when I was still at school. My teachers always talked about the "Injury of Fire" describing its features, so I painted this to remember them. I also remember hearing they say that the Injury of Fire is being held inside the Elder Altar, but only a Legendary Blazing Pegasus would be able to take hold of it. They stated that if somepony else touched the artifact, he or she would suffer until death. That spread rumors that the amulet is "cursed"./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail became intrigued and eager to know what more Ariston had of information./span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"I wasn't expecting you to paint it. And how did your teachers knew such things about the amulet?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"The teachers told me that during the discovery of the altar, the amulet revealed itself before the explorers and then sank deeply into the shrine. Before it could disappear from sight, the ponies could clearly see its features and because of that, they wrote everything they could and then passed the information ahead. Thanks to our ancestors, we can at least know what the amulet looked like. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Amazing, and by the way, I like your painting. You've got some talent./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"This is nothing compared to the replica I made myself! If you want to see it, just look up!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-US"Curious, I looked above my head to see that there was an amulet, or at least, a replica of an amulet which was tied to a large decoration on the ceiling of the house. It was quite impressive and looked far better than the one in the painting that Ariston showed me before./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"That's some fine work you got there. I like art a lot, and you should also know that I enjoy drawing on my free time; however, I'm always too busy studying at my House Temple that I simply can't seem to have a lot of spare time. But, when I do have "breaks", I often go outside and draw the beautiful of Fallen into a good looking piece of art. Unfortunately as I said, I don't have a lot of time to spend on those things; being someone like me is being full of several tasks to accomplish./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"I always knew you liked this stuff and it's a pity that you are such a busy one./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-US"As I finished my conversation with Ariston, I noticed that Olive was surprisingly still there in the same room we were next to the stairs that led to the second floor, as if waiting for something to happen. I decided to ask her something./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Hey Olive, would you like to come with us to the Elder Altar?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Olive Tyler: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"I don't know, but I guess I'd be of some help./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Good. Ariston, you are OK with that?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"I'm ready for anything. But why don't we visit the altar tomorrow? I'm kind of sleepy and outside there is just blackness. The night has finally arrived./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-US"I didn't intend to but I ended up spending a lot of time at Ariston's house. When I looked through the windows, all I could see was the dark of the night./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Well, I won't force you to go with me at night. And also, being a "legend" doesn't mean that you don't get tired, so I better go back to my house and hit the hay./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Why don't you sleep here and we go all together to the altar in the morning?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"That sounds like a good idea. But you wouldn't mind if I slept in your house, would you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Of course I wouldn't! You are and will always be welcome here./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Olive Tyler: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"You can surely trust that! We'll always be open for you Flame./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Well, I don't want to be some sort of "blood-sucking" friend, so I might as well offer to sleep on the couch./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Ariston: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Don't be ridiculous! I have an empty guest room so it won't be necessary for any of us to sleep on the couch. The bedrooms are on the second floor; Olive will sure be glad to show your room, just follow her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Olive Tyler: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Certainly! Please, come with me Flame./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Okay then, if you say so./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"Olive turned around and gestured for Flame Trail to follow her. Flame began trotting towards Olive wondering what kind of guest room that would be. As he followed her up a spiral staircase, Flame noticed the details of that particular part of the house; the walls were decorated with perfectly aligned paintings and the floor covered in a red fabric. After bringing Flame Trail to the second floor, the lime coated mare trotted towards a door to the left, gently opened it using her magic, and then gestured for the Pegasus to go inside. Not wasting time, Flame trotted over to the mare and then into the room, followed by her. He was amazed by the sight of the room; he liked how things were organized there./span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Olive: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Well, this is where you're staying tonight Flame! I hope you enjoy the bed; I make it very comfy for guests so that they can have a nice sleep! If you need anything else, just call me!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"Thank you for your generosity, Olive. I really appreciate it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Olive: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"No problem! That's why I'm here for! Have a good night Flame!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"As Olive finished, the Pegasus smoothly entered the bed as well as trying to get into a suitable position to become asleep. While Flame was attempting to have the promised comfortableness, Olive trotted to outside the room and then closed its door before going to her own respective room. After finding himself satisfied, Flame then sank into the pillow and began thinking about what he should do after arriving at the Elder Altar./span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongspan lang="EN-US"Flame Trail: /span/strongspan lang="EN-US"I hope I'm prepared for whatever the altar hides. I guess it won't go easy on us./span/p

Not wasting time, Flame trotted over to the mare and then into the room, followed by her. He was amazed by the sight of the room; he liked how things were organized there./span/em/p

p class="MsoNormal"emspan lang="EN-US"As Olive finished, the Pegasus smoothly entered the bed as well as trying to get into a suitable position to become asleep. While Flame was attempting to have the promised comfortableness, Olive trotted to outside the room and then closed its door before going to her own respective room. After finding himself satisfied, Flame then sank into the pillow and began thinking about what he should do after arriving at the Elder Altar./span/em/p

Chapter III is done and here! Gosh, it sure did took a lot of time of reviewing, but the results were quite satisfactory. I know you guys are crazy for "action", but before I make it happen, the tale needs to be told, or the awesome parts won't make sense at all. It's like if you pick up a movie and cut off the story from it. I'd also like to have some feedback on my story as I previously said. Anyways, I hope you've enjoyed this chapter! Until next time!/span/strong/p
