END OF BOOK PASSAGE
"Sweet I unlocked Holy Light because of the twins!! But how do I use it?" I said.
"Figure that out on the job! Now let's fight these fallen angels!" Orgran declared as he summoned his 'Hellknight' mech from a fire portal. A massive steampunk giant that drooled magma and wielded a chainsaw/sword hybrid of flame and a shield that burned as hot as the sun, with a 'roar' of steam, Orgran jumped into the mecha and charged into the fray.
Going by instinct she raises her left hand and yells "HOLY LIGHT" and a beam of light shoots down from the sky and envelops eight of the enemy combatants cleansing them and freeing them from Nightmare Moon's control. To my surprise, I saw the freed angels give me a salute before charging in to restrain the still possessed soldiers.
I recast my 'HOLY LIGHT' spell freeing another eight angels and a manticore but the manticore collapses lifeless once freed. With enough of the angels freed, they were able to work on freeing the other possessed with their own light magic, causing Nightmare to start falling back as her numbers were turned against her. Once over half her numbers were against her they retreated into the shadows and fled. Once she was gone all of the angels turned to me and one that was wearing slightly better armor who I assume is the commander stepped forward. "What are your orders Ma'am?"
"I thought their souls were gone, even though they are almost shattered to pieces," Talion said as he rubbed his chin again.
After composing myself and looking to Orgran "My orders are as follows Protect Ponyville from Nightmare Moon's forces purify if able kill if not."
"And in the meantime, we'll be kicking some Nightmare Arse for you and seeing if we can't get some more of your Brothers and Sisters!" Orgran declared.
"Thank you King Orgran The Red, that is most kind!!" the commander responded
"Well before we leave I will repair you souls you are unfit for battle with your souls practically falling apart right now." Talion said.
"Thank you Lord Talion of Minas Morgul." the commander said
"And how do you know us?" Talion asked the commander as he started fixing their souls.
"I saw all you did and all that was said while under her control," the commander admitted with a slight blush.
"Well, we should hurry the girls will probably be going into the forest by now." Talion said.
"Mistress Evangel would you and your companions care for an aerial escort?" the commander asked
I turned to Orgran and Talion and asked "What do you think Orgran? Talion?"
"I think we'd do better if we didn't have to worry about accidentally hitting one of you with ridiculously flashy attacks."
"Talion?"
"It's fine." He said and Hecale and Thanatos landed at his side.
"Sorry dear its two to one," I turned to the commander and said "yes we would love one pick your strongest and fastest flyers we need one to carry Orgran to the edge of the forest."
"How the f*** are they going to carry this thing?" he gestures to the mech he's in.
"Get out and summon it to you once we get to the forest." I said exasperatedly.
"I have a better idea!" He says seconds before a chasm opens up from below him, swallowing him up.
I just roll with it and take off along with the commander's chosen angels and Talion towards the Everfree forest and where I hope Orgran is.
Thankfully we find him shortly after arriving, though it seems that Nightmare has switched to golems for attack, which would be much harder to dispel or destroy.
"Do you think they are already there?" Talion asked.
"Yes Lord Talion I can see them from here they are standing in a copse of trees laughing at them." one of the angels said.
"That's the test of laughter." Orgran replied. "It's an important trial they must handle alone."
"How many trials are left?"
"I believe that was the first one." Talion said.
"No, it's the third, Generosity and Loyalty are next, with the final confrontation with Nightmare Moon revealing the final element."
"We need to hurry, soldiers pick up the golems and drop them from high up." I ordered
"APOPHA-PIX-TET" I intone and a small bipedal wolf with arms made of wood (A.N. that but smaller)
"What do the golems look like soldier." Talion asked.
"Tall, black, and with an oval gem for a face"
"Ok then." Talion said back
"Apopha-Pix attack with your root arms" I said.
"And keep them away from the heroes, they're not prepared for actual combat." Orgran said before caving one of their faces in with a punch. "Even one of them could prove fatal."
In a voice that sounded wiser than an old oak grove it replied "Yes Master Orgran."
Talion just sat back and watched the angels fight and the elements travel through the forest.
"You could help anytime Talion!!!!" I yelled.
"I am you'll see." He said then a volley of arrows flew from the forest and at the golems cracking their control gems. "When I went to prepare I created a undead army that surrounded the castle I told a few of them to come here and help." then from the many undead where black armor charged from the treeline the spearmen were use their spear to keep the golems off balance and the swordsmen went for the kill stabbing the oval gems then massive boulders came flying from the forest crashing into them. "I also created stone golems as well, they can control the stone and plants around them." He said and from the tree line massive creatures made of stone appeared.
"...are they sentient?"
"Which ones the undead or Golems?" Talion asked Orgran
"The golems, in Mylinia, Golems are a true race in Mylinia with their own culture and everything… sorry, I'm just wanting to feel like in some way they didn't all…"
"Well I don't really know if they are sentient all I have asked them to when since I created my first golems was help me make my city and make various metals and gems I have not given it any real thought if they are or not but they have always done what I asked." Talion said.
"Right… maybe you… no, nevermind."
"Speak your mind you might not get another chance to any time soon." Talion said.
"Would I be able to take some home with me? So that even if they're not sentient, I can find a way to bring their kind back?"
"Yes you can and I can give you the plans to make them and several other kinds of golems like gem golems, iron golems, and more." He told Orgran
"Lord Orgran, Lord Talion I see them near the old castle they are waiting for the prismatic pegasus pony to return." said the lead soldier.
"The final trial before the castle, Rainbow will return to them, just ensure they're not physically attacked." Orgran said.
"A fog has rolled in should we do something?" the lead soldier asked.
"Continue to observe, the fog is merely an illusion of nightmare to ensure the others don't try and interfere."
"SIR YES SIR!"
