Book 1: Realms Unite!

Chapter 14 Meaning

Awkright walked over the rubble of the castle wall and looked at the scattered ponies on the ground. Nightshade was nowhere to be seen which meant Awkright had done his job well. With a howl the Exion returned to their realm and Awkright continued up the steps to the throne room.

Two guards charged at Awkright but he easily swatted them aside. Kicking open the door and found a pink pony standing before him. Without a word the pony pulled out a canon and pulled the trigger sending forth an explosion of confetti knocking Awkright over the wall.

"Can't come this way yet Mr. Wolfy!" The pony called. Awkright turned and saw another door with a bunch of signs with different phrases, "Ponies this way! FOOD! Nice Wolf Demon Thingy!" Awkright snarled and walked towards the door and let out a tremendous howl down the hall way knocking down party decorations and other knick knacks.

The ponies giggles echoed throughout the halls, "Well I guess the fun way of inviting you didn't go well. I guess we'll have to do this the hard way then," she called. A loud horn went off and the ground below Awkright sprang up and shot him into the hallway. At the corner a chair opened up and caught him locking him in place. Another canon appeared and let out more confetti sending Awkright down another hallway into a large container and it began to spin very fast.

In the forge Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Shining Armor had melted the gems and silver down into a single slot in the shape of a spear. Shining let the materials cool but Twilight walked up and cast a spell on it speeding up the cooling process.

Shining pulled out a tool and pulled out the cool material and began to hammer it. With his magic Shining began to bend and mold the material into a rounded poled and began to hammer down on one end until everything was smoothed out. Rarity took an enlarged pin and pushed it into the end of the pole sideways.

Fluttershy filled a small basin full of water as Shining tossed the spear into it. Twilight looked to Shining who was drastically exhausted. Twilight sighed, "Shining I'm sorry but you're going to have to stay down here when we go back to face the demon," she said. Shining began to rise, "No you're not. I won't let you face that thing alone," he said.

Twilight smiled softly, "I won't be alone so long as my friends are at my side. You need to rest. You've lost almost all of your strength. We need to handle this," she said. Shining looked into his sisters eyes and sighed, "I guess you're right... Please be careful ok Twily?" he asked sadly. Twilight nodded, "Don't worry we'll all stick together!" Rarity piped up from behind. "You bet! Woo hoo!" Fluttershy quietly cheered. Shining Armor chuckled, "Good luck Twily," he said as the three girls began to head back towards the throne room.

'Awkright was sent flying out of the container as it began to slow. Awkright tried to shake the nausea from his head but ended up falling over. The pony began to laugh uncontrollably from above, "You're such a silly wolf! Ha ha ha!" she squealed. Awkrights eyes blazed with rage as he began to climb.

The pony pulled on a string and a boxing glove came out from the wall and punched Awkright in the jaw causing him to fall back down the stair well onto a panel. Awkright heard gears grinding and tried to get up quickly but the floor sprang up and sent Awkright up the stairwell into a wall. Awkright fell onto the stairs his eyes spinning and a splitting headache pulsing inside his skull.

The pony was gone and Awkright got to his feet, "I'm tired of these senseless pranks pony!!" he yelled as he began to climb the stairwell knocking everything in his path aside. The pony waited for Awkright to get to the top and pulled a lever dropping him into a container full of liquid!
