The Legend of the Cursed Moon of the Sea (RP)

[DominoEffect]

((Right, now that that's dealt with I need to find a point in the RP we can resume from, time for a spiritual intervention!))

The sword's original owner does not take well to having it's rest disturbed by inquisitive ponies, and with a hellish scream the apparation grips Midnight and Noon in it's clawed talons, their bodies rotting and decomposing at a abnormally fast rate. Moonlight, taking self-preservation above all, turns and flees as the bodies of the twins crumble to dust, the spirit reclusing back into it's sword with a chilling moan.
After a few minutes of frightened galloping, Moonlight ends back in the village and takes pause in one of the huts in order to collect his wits from what he just saw. To calm his nerves, Moonlight looks into his backpack and is surprised to find that the [glow=black,2,300]Odd Device[/glow] is found alongside his [glow=green,2,300]Stone Tablet[/glow] shard. Upon closer inspection, the shard is in a foreign language.


Such bountiful treasures! Such rare and mysterious artifacts of a bygone age! The walls and ceiling are piled high with golden statues and jewels as Rigor's efforts prove successful in dislodging the rocks with the pickaxe. Though the sight would have any other pony jumping for joy as the light from the lantern gleams off everything within, Rigor is puzzled as to where the scent of air was coming from. She finds her answer when she approaches a glittering red platform in the centre of the cave, upon which is a shard of a [glow=green,2,300]Stone Tablet[/glow], above her, through a long but straight chute, is that...yes! The moons rays greet her as she peers upwards at the roof, too high for her to leap to, so there must be another way up?

OH BUCK!..Midnight, Noon.. Seeing Midnight and Noon being turned into dust from Celestia knows what Moonlight turns tail and gallops back to the village they recently left. Moonlight, devastated from what he had just seen takes some time to gather his thoughts and get his mind off of it especially since he is alone again now that Midnight and Noon are gone. After taking a few minutes to clear his head he decides to look in his backpack. Where did this come from? he thought upon seeing the strange device. He then takes out the stone tablet and examines it and comes to a realization..its in a foreign language. Great..first Midnight and Noon die on me and now I'm carrying some weird device and a tablet I cant even read..Could this possibly get any worse? he thought with tears filling his eyes.

((AHH SHH-GHOST I WET MY PANTS!! ))

[sorikuXIII]

(( i felt the same way. It made it hard for me to get what i needed))

Rigor stared at the sight, it wasn't what they were worth that made her eyes gleam.  It was how old they seemed to be, what mysteries could they hold from those who previously owned them.  She was distracted trying to find where the faint smell was coming from, as soon as she found it though she grinned and went to look back at all the items.  A smirk on her face as she tried to pick out artifacts to take with her along with the strange stone tablet shard.  "Mmm.. A few of these could be useful," she muttered as she tried to examine every artifact in the room, leaving the gold and jewels to the side.

A noise catches Moonlight's ear as he begins to sob, it's coming from outside and it sounds like two sets of hoofbeats. Initially he would welcome these others, but the experience he had just been through had left him wary, what if it was Midnight and Noon? Shuddering at the thought of the reanimated corpses coming back to life to drag him away, he begins to back away from the only exit, but in doing so he accidentally kicks his saddlebag, his hoof connecting with the lantern with a resonous clang. A sound of alarm comes from something outside and the hoofbeats slowly edge closer to the door.


Truly, even the torrential rain and washing upon this island alone and cold had done hardly anything to douse Rigor's spirits. As she searches through the piles of gold and silver, she comes across many strange items. An elongated skull that looked like it came from some kind of advanced monkey, a crude statue of something with the body of a dragon and the head of a squid, the list of crazy items just went on! Something catches her eye underneath one pile, wooden poles and the edge of a stone gear seen through a crack in the wall, no doubt leading to other ancient devices. Curiously, the pole seems to come back towards the glittering red platform in the centre of the grand room. Packing a few useful items into a nearby sack alongside her pickaxe, an [glow=blue,2,300]old stone club[/glow] and a [glow=blue,2,300]curiously shaped ruby[/glow], Rigor returns to the platform upon which the [glow=green,2,300]Stone Tablet[/glow] shard sits. Perhaps...just perhaps...no...it would be silly to believe that this would be some sort of ancient elevator....wouldn't it?

((A bonus point to whoever can guess what the first two items Rigor looked at were referencing ))

As Moonlight cries his ears flicker as he hears several hoofsteps. No..please Celestia just leave me alone he mutters to himself in an extreme sad tone and then he realized it could possibly be Midnight and Noon coming back from the dead for revenge. Oh please Celestia no anything but that he thought to himself with tears still running down his face and decided to back away from the entrance hoping who or whatever it was would just leave him alone. Little did he know, his saddle bag was right behind him and accidentally kicks it causing the lantern inside to make a loud clanging sound thus alerting who or whatever was out there of his presence and so the hoofsteps grew closer as Moonlight continues to fear for his life.

[InsaneMar]

(( Yay a saddle bag!  A human skull  and CTHULHU STATUE    Why can't my pony take that.. probably because it's heavy.. ))

Rigor's dark brown eyes glittered at each item, wishing she could take them all.  Taking only a few items she could fit in a sack she found, she chose an old club that she could research later and a ruby that was in a shape she never saw before.  She kept looking at the statue of the squid head on a dragon's body, it was just fascinating and she wondered what sort of hooves carved it.  Tearing herself from the horde of wonderful and truly fascinating treasure she turned to the stone shard, reaching her hoof out to touch it and perhaps take it with her.

To his surprise, the next sound he heard was not that of undead corpses or ghosts, but a rather cultured stallion speaking with a light Canterlot accent.

"I say, Bloodblade, that certainly does not sound like an enemy."

"The voice seems to belong to a former companion of Master's aboard the ship."

[sorikuXIII]

Moonlight still afraid for his life covered his head regardless of hearing the cultured voice not knowing if it was a friend or foe and instead laid down cowering in fear.

As he lay quivering, he heard soft hoofsteps approaching cautiously, and the rustle of feathers and the familiar sound of unicorn magic.

"It seems you were correct, Bloodblade," said the cultured voice, as the pony heard something metallic drop quietly to rest on the floor.  Somepony approached and cautiously knelt a few meters away.  "There's no need to fear.  We're friends."

[sorikuXIII]

Moonlight sniffled with tears still forming. Are-are you s-s-sure? he said opening one eye to see who was being so nice to him.

He almost immediately recognized Fancy Pants, one of the wealthiest (and most generous) ponies in Equestria.  The kindly unicorn smiled warmly.  "I am quite sure.  You are safe now.  Right, Bloodblade?"

"The Master's wish is the servant's command.  No harm shall come to Master's friend."

[sorikuXIII]

Moonlight finally calmed down enough to recognize the voice as Fancy Pants but had a hard time standing up because of his past traumatic experience. I-I can't move my legs he said in a scared tone.

Fancy looked at his butler, who nodded immediately and got out the first aid kit.

"If there are any physical injuries, Master's servant will tend to them.  Perhaps taking deep and slow breaths will alleviate the conditions?" suggested the pegasus as he gently placed some ointment on wherever there were scratches or cuts and bruises on Moonlight's legs.

[sorikuXIII]

N-No, no major injuries..I-I just cant move them out of fear he said stuttering as fear still crept over him.

Fancy smiled warmly as Bloodblade finished lightly bandaging Moonlight's legs.  "You know, there was a rather hyperactive pony I met once at a garden party, who loved to sing as many songs as she could, all at once.  I could never quite catch most of them, but one stuck with me all this time, and has helped me in many situations in the past."

The unicorn closed his eyes and softly sang the familiar tune in a gentle voice, and the fear slowly left Moonlight.

Spoiler: show

[sorikuXIII]

Moonlight calmed down and started to stand up slowly recognizing the song and pony he meant while a small smile formed on his tear covered face.

Fancy smiled kindly as Moonlight calmed down.  "There now, see?  Nothing to fear.  You're safe now."

He looked over at Bloodblade, who took the gesture as a cue.

"Would there be anything Master's friend might need, or some aid that Master's servant might be able to provide?"

[sorikuXIII]

Well actually I found this stone tablet and this odd device that appeared out of nowhere he gestures toward his slightly torn saddlebag.
