I have taught you how to fight to defend this realm, each in your own way, ever since you were just colts and fillies. I am sorry I can't be here to tell you this myself, but a certain matter demands my attention, and do you know how long it takes to get back from Mount Higualia? Anyways, the time has come my children, for you to do what you were born to do. A great evil has arisen, it is an old adversary of mine, one I thought I had defeated, but he is too strong, too strong even for the bonds I placed him under. He goes by many names; the Destroyer, the Temptor, the Realm Eater, all accurately describe him. He wishes for nothing more than the entire destruction of this realm, but you cannot face him right now, you must first learn of your enemy and his strengths, as to reveal his weaknesses. I will send you on missions to find these strengths and weaknesses before the final batte comes. Good luck children, as the first place is one I know you know, Broken Horn Mesa. Yours truly, Grand Master.
Grey Mane turned to the others. "Shall we depart?" Was all she said. She felt no need to make any more words.
"we should, all I need to do is fetch my oak and steel bow and my quiver filled with a multitude of arrows from standard steel to fire ones, shock ones or powerful ancient runed ones". After collecting it he turned towards Grey mane. "I'm ready".
(Fast forward to your arrival, GO!) On the summit of Broken Horn Mesa sat a huge, evil palace. Once the capital of the realm, it now laid abandoned. Look what we have here, the newest students of our old foe, how pleasant, said a sinister voice that seemed to come from every direction, Let's see how well you were truly trained.
Grey had been watching around her the entire time. Sometimes, she wondered, what this Destroyer looked like. Then she wondered how many holes it would take to take him down. She couldn't bother trying after a while. SHe looked around, taking in her surroundings once more.
(Oh and Destroyer is a draconiquis, like Discord, only instead of Choas, he represents destruction and death, and appears to be made out of shadows and shades and never seems to be fully solid) A black shape suddenly took form before them and a black head of a draconiquis stuck out from it. It seemed to be ever changing and never solid, "Ah hello. Looks like my old foe Grand Master has found some champions, how…delightful." it suddenly disappeared and reformed above them "Now go on, do what your master told you to do, really, go inside, you'll get quite the surprise!" and he disappeared leaving nothing but an evil laugh hanging in the air.
Rashall looked around noting all of the shadows and hiding places perfect for him to strike out from.
"Mind if I take a page from a distant cousin of mine?" Destroyers voice echoed, "Stops and Drops, though seperate you may go, through peril and death, may you find the what you came for."
Robin loaded a lit fire arrow and fired it through a dark hallway revealing a small door at the end. "Rashall, no I think I might offounf the way out you were looking for". Robin spoke quitly only loud enough for the others to hear. He then loaded and pulled back another arrow ready for any surprises.
