The Phoenix Queen: Roleplay

(I can see the thing between Ven and Tricorna going....places *no dirty joke implied*. Shall we skip to the morning? Also, nice 4th wall break Ridley )

 

Thirteen hours before Final Battle...

The Eriborian struggled to get out of bed in the next morning. After getting dressed in his armour due to the Ryborian heading out for one last battle, he walked outside of his royal chambers and headed towards Tricorna’s room. As he opened the door and walked inside, he noticed that the sleeping doe was glowing faintly.

“Goddess, it’s already happening.....”

Venquis promised to give his friend her final wish, and did not fail on that promise. The last night they spent together was magical, everything about the night was perfect. Venquis got her a beautiful pink dress for her to wear, while he wore his royal clothing. Her smile and laugh turned the negatives of war into positives for the Eriborian. And now...it was unfortunately coming to an end. Two Crimson Roses looked at their Eriborian, staring in silence at the doe with his mind focused and sad. Both of them went to his side, to comfort him.

“I’ll be back soon, I need to do this by myself.” Venquis said as he soon paced slowly inside of the room and placed a small and silent spell for her to stay on a cloud, the way he had decided for her passing. He then carried her sleeping body and flew up into the sky (Was given the gift of wingless flight by Sihana before fighting Jack) over fifty miles from the city of Neromia to the west across the ocean. When he got to a high enough altitude, he placed her down on a cloud as she soon woke up not long after.

Venquis stood nearby her, muttering a prayer in silence and trying to hold back his tears.

 

Venquis sat besides her as the storm cloud began to turn darker and darker. "I will never forget you. Never" Venquis simply said. "It has been a long time since i could be with another whom I cared about. The last time was when....my family before the Black War happened. I grew up under five Ryborian masters, five masters who not only cared for me, but also died for me as well. Since then, I've been alone. Alone in the wilderness running a tavern that used to attract travelers for hundreds of miles. There was nobody i knew, nobody that cared for me other then the Divine's after the war. Until...I encountered the other members of my friends, and...you Tricorna. I never really had a family growing up, I was too young to remember them perfectly. I never forgot them, I never forgot the Princesses of Equestria and all of those who fight for peace including when i knew your Brother, and I'll never forget you."

Venquis then looked at the vast stretch of ocean, easily two kilometers below. "Seems like it's time." He said before looking directly at the doe's eyes. "I was told by my mother when i was younger that when she left, she...wouldn't say goodbye to me. Instead, she always told me, "Never say goodbye." If you don’t say 'goodbye,' then you aren't really gone. You...just aren't here right now. So i simply wont say goodbye, I will just say until we meet again Tricorna." Venquis said before hugging Tricorna, tears now streaming down his face.

(*Que incredibly sad music*)

 

Celestia stood on the top of her ruined palace and city in Old Canterlot, making sure preparations were set for the final day of her life. She got dressed accordingly, tided herself up and sat down to look at the horizion, noticing her sister had taken the responsibility of her raising the sun . She ensured no weaknesses, practicing by herself with her weapon until warming herself up with stretches.

Once done, she stood deathly still as she looked unto the horizon once more, a flag of the Empire now placed behind her. The top of the staircase hid her from view, but knew that her enemies would see her walking down. She was almost ready to die, but almost ready to make her own personal final stand.

 

(Mearly anybody who can hold their own in a fight. So the major characters such as Silver, Obsidian, Nightshade, Venquis, Midnight, Crimson. Anybody you wish to participate can do so.)

With Tricorna suddenly disappearing, Venquis allowed himself to fall from the sky towards the Ocean before flying back towards Neromia to collect Moonsaber. Once his deputy was in charge and told the news of what could happen if he were not to survive, the Eriborian took to the skies and flew to the long travel towards New Canterlot, arriving three hours later. Once he arrived in the Equestrian capital, he made his way up the stairs to finally see his friends once more.

But while he was just leaving Ardelan, it rained. From now on, rain meant something else to the Eriborian.

 

(This whole 4th wall scenario gave me an idea for a new role-play...)

The Eriborian soon walked up the stairs of the palace and was soon greeted by two Republic guards who let him in without problems, soon making his way towards the throne room. Upon his own arrival, he noticed a four pony group that was made up from Crimson, Ocean, Midnight and Summer, dressed in their armours as they stood around talking. As he walked in, he noticed something surprising. Obsidian and Nightshade were standing nearby Silver, who were deceased the last time he recalled, standing and taking to each other. Rather than standing still until he was noticed, he simply went over to Silver while he was talking about the finishing blow against Celestia.

“Army?” Venquis joined in the conversation. “The moment the Republic pushed into Equestria, there was no army. The enormous theater in Republic lands, wiped out to the last solider. The occupation force in my homeland, gone.” Venquis said. “A year ago, yes, there was an army. More specifically, a colossal sized one. Now, it’s practically non-existent.” The Eriborian then looked at all of the two Alicorn Princesses and the Queen of the Changelings, talking to each other and laughing like good friends, and then there was the Elements of Harmony he was told all about enjoying themselves.

“A couple more hours, and that Phoenix Queen is dead. Don’t hold back, I know that you and me certainly won’t. And don’t get me started on Midnight and the Night Princess....”

 

Venquis sighed heavily. "Yes...and no. Ardelan is now back under Ryborian control, just the way it should be. All of the Equestrian soldiers still in Ardelan are most likely obliterated by now or sent back home, and the source for the Juggernauts, alongside another project they were working on, are now destroyed. I don't think we should spread talk about the Juggernaut's, now that i know what those monstrosities are. However, Tricorna is dead. I'm sure Obsidian has told you of her demise already." The tone in his voice still indicated sadness, but he had to move on.

"One of my Roses told me that she is expecting us at around sundown. Now that we know that, she at least understand the time for when she is going to die." The Ryborian replied. "This is going to be the hardest battle I've ever fought, we are literally going to kill a god"

 

"The Nine Divines and the Gods have personally marked her for death, she will not live today. The Divines could have stepped in and wiped her of the face of the earth, but they believe in the destiny they have given us. We are the ones killing her because of our relationship with her, personal and non personal issues about her. The monster will die tonight, make no mistake." The Eriborian said while finishing off his drink. "Not dying would be nice, and I intend not to die today. I don't enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it's just a chore, like any other."

(Time skip to an hour before the battle?)
