After a long boat ride home, Pumpkin Swansong returns to find the North over run with a demonologist cult called The Childern of Tartarus. He has made contact with the Celestia Intelligence Agency, and is coordinating with their leader Crisp Evergrasp. As the Northlander's most current exploit he saved a dragon from being turned into a demonic host. He now seeks advice from his old friend, a zebra necromancer, and the queen of the dead.

Kilana smiles back and then shakes her hoof at you mocking a stern voice.
"A dragon is a big responsibility, you have to take good care of it, I don't want to see any scales on my floor."

You watch as the object slowly spins, its leaves are completely soaked in black, a steady motion like a heart beating is coming from it. Kilana looks at it with hate and channels a dark flame into her scythe, "I can see what you want to become. That will not happen."
She slices into the bundle of leaves, as the dark flame covers it the leaves wither and turn to dust, the slime with-in being sucked into the scythe, and a small squeal can be heard.

The massive three headed beast, known as Codar spreads its wings and carries its master after you.
You track the dragon easily, its large tracks and the burnt area of ground outside of a cave let you know exactly where he is. Inside the cave you see the large red scaled dragon laying down, he lazily opens an eye at your approach.

He nods replying slowly in norse. "You may approach Underqueen."
Kilana strides closer putting a concerned hoof on the dragon and climbs up to get a better look. "How did they get to you?"

You spend the rest of the day together, talking about old things, laughing, and even enjoying another meal together complete with red wine.
Kilana seems much happier by the time the day is over, relaxed even. When she notices the sun hanging low in the sky she give a pleasant sigh and a nod to you. "Good luck, bro"

Its not very far away actually. You spot all fifteen of them gathered together inside of a cave, four of them standing together inside of a runic circle, each holding a small vial liquid.
"Well. You are ready for this?" The pegasus that you spoke with before asks.
The four nod. "Lets give it a try right?"
"We just take the potion and say the words right?"
"No, you just take the potion and then they say the words for us."
"Oh, right."
"Lets just do this before someone forgets how to swallow"
A few of them chuckle at that.

Much like a shadow in the darkness, you are perfectly well hidden.
The mages all nod to each other, the four inside the circle drink up and the others chant a spell, magic swirls around the circle, and a bluish spark of magic hits each of the four in the circle, the fall over, two scream, one cries, and the last one just looks amazed.
The spell finishes and the other mages look concerned but the pegasus stallion from before is the first to try and comfort them.
"Hey, calm down.." he says placing a wing over the crying one, the others soon follow suit and try to comfort the four.

Aside from the crying and looking terrified nothing odd is happening, and after a while they calm down, and sit together comparing notes on what exactly they remember.

"Huh, you guys killed a boar? We killed a lion." the earth pony brags.
"A lion, what did you do with that?"
"We used its heart for our first ritual, hey, I even got to keep most of the bones! of course the thing I made with them was destroyed later.. but it was fun for a while."
"Sounds like it, but when did you get up here?"
"That was when Grey was still in charge here, man do you remember him?"

"I'm not going to do anything like that anymore. ..It was terrible the things we all did.. I wish I didn't remember.." one of the unicorns says.
"I don't really know what I'll do, all I've learned here, is it even useful for anything else?" the earth pony ponders.
"I promise I won't go back.. Just don't kill me.." the third unicorn says.

The first one you notice is the source of the tapping, an orange unicorn stallion is tapping on the ground with his left hoof at a regular pace, his irises are white, his right hoof is shackled to the floor and he has a sort of ring attached to his horn.
The cell next to him has a tired looking gryphon, grey and white with blue eyes, he sighs "I'm pretty sure they are dead, that tapping won't help." He says toward to unicorn.
"Just let him go, its not like you have any ideas." the blue earth pony mare in the next cell replies and covers herself with a blanket.

The earth pony mare walks out of her cell to stand next to you, as you whistle to try and wake the gryphon. You open the Unicorn's cell and he gently tugs on the shackle on his hoof and looks in your direction expectantly. You note that the ring is still locked on his horn.
"Its probably no use, cat-bird has been asleep ever since you left. The explosion didn't do anything to stir him." The mare explains.

You look the gryphon over, he shakes slightly, and coughs a bit. He is reacting as if he was poisoned by something. 5/3
"Hey.. Glenn.. wake up!" The blue mare tries. The gryphon reacts to her, opening his eyes.
"Yea, that's it big guy, try to get up."
The gryphon stands up slowly and looks at you. "I knew you'd come back."

"Long ago, before time was charted, and ponies were a new creature, The Seven Great Elementals roamed the lands, using their powers to influence the world, and keeping in balance with each other.
All the creatures adored the Great Elementals and sought them out for advice, aid, or company, all except the Elemental of Death. The Death Elemental was lonely, and only had one creature as its friend, a gray fox called Lilith, and they spent many years together speaking of many things. The creatures of the world grew stranger and more powerful as time went on, some of them blessed with powerful magic from the other elementals. One day, Lilith complained to Death about how she could eat nothing but scraps and that the other creatures were cruel to her because she did not have any magic. Lilith pleaded to the Elemental of Death, to grant her some kind of magic, her long tail swishing and her ears bent back to make her eyes seem larger, Death took pity on her and called to meeting the other elementals. "We must help the Gray foxes, they can no longer hunt in this world without magic" Death declared.
The Elementals of Life and Earth replied with scorn "The gray foxes have been fine all this time, there is no need to do this, and it would throw off the balance of the world."
"This creature is taking advantage of you Death, it has no need of such powers."
The others seemed not so eager to go against Life and Earth.. However the ever curious Arcane Elemental replied "I will help you Death, together we shall bless your Gray fox with an all new magic, that will surely protect them." For you see, when two elementals work together, they can create something that normally would not exist, Earth and Ice together made the northern lands we now trot under.."
Tiresias pauses to take a breath.
"Death sighed and looked to the group "Any who wish to help me, Acrane and I will bestow a gift of power to the gray fox at the next high moon."
And so at the next high moon, Lilith sat with the Arcane and Death elementals, and to their great surprise Earth and Life came as well. "We will lend some of our power to your cause Death. Surely this creature that means so much to you deserves our attention."
"Thank you Cousins." Death replied with a smile on his voice.
And so the four of them combined their efforts and gave Lilith a new kind of magic. Or so it appeared. Life and Earth were concerned about the kind of results this new magic would have, and what they really did was to insert a weakness into Lilith's new power, a weakness that would be needed all too soon..
As Lilith used her new energy to ravage the world and take what she wanted, she found she was able to infect other creatures, twisting their desires to her own, and making them more like her. By the time that Death saw her again, Lilith was a fox no more, but a demon, and she had changed a thousand creatures to be like her. Death pleaded for her to stop this madness, and Lilith refused, leaving no choice for the elementals but to fight her and all the other demons, and create an isolated space for them.
The seven elementals each played a part: Earth and Fire formed the new world for the demons, Arcane took it upon himself to maintain the portal to the new world, Life lead the fight against the demons, followed by Ice, and Lighting, and then Fire and Earth once they had completed the new world. Many who were blessed by the Elementals, directly or indirectly, also fought in this great battle."

"The tide was so greatly against the demons, that they were forced into the portal, Lilith being the origin was the most powerful and the last to be pushed into the portal.
At this moment The Seven Great Elementals combined their powers, in what they had agreed would be their last act in the world.. for their interference had caused this mess, more interference must be avoided.. They sealed the portal forever, leaving nothing behind but a small chunk of themselves, which was then scattered to the winds so that none could abuse their powers again.
But, even in that final moment, Death pitied Lilith and left a small crack in his magic that could lead to her, so that in someway, Death would still be connected to his old friend Lilith.
Others would come to know about this crack, this path, and would use it to contact demons, the place they were banished to, became known as Tartarus."

With the blindfolds secure on the former prisoners the stallions nod to you and help escort your group inside, turning down the brightened halls to guide the four of you to the infirmary before removing the blindfolds and taking their leave. Quickly a group of four ponies in nurse uniforms come to your sides, a unicorn stallion, a unicorn mare, a pegasus stallion, and lastly the pegasus mare from last night that scolded jasmine.
The unicorn mare smiles sweetly, approaching Victory Veil, "I'm Heartful Hooves, please let me look you over Miss."
The pegasus nods toward the gryphon. "Lets see what we can do for you, alright?"
The unicorn stallion looks between you and maddie and then to the pegasus mare who has a small smirk.

Glenn shys away from the doctors. "I'd rather not.. be alone.."
"Come on big guy, its not so bad." V. nudges him. "Probably the best help around. And I'll be right around the corner."

The unicorn raises a brow at her as if trying to see if she's serious "…"
which causes the mare to sigh a little at him. "They don't look too bad, just do a basic healing and check up. "
"Yea, of course. I'll start with you then." He says to Maddie and guides her to the hall full of small beds surrounded by curtains, apparently that's the light care section, he guides her to an empty bed and closes the curtain around them.

Here in the snow, outside of a small stone building, two assassins stand side by side, both seem youthful, in the prime of their lives even, one is a male pegasus, and one is female earth pony. The pegasus appears to be in charge, perhaps ironically calling the mare kid..
Here among the scattered dead bodies of their enemies, my allies, the pair rest a moment.. Most disturbing to me is that before I passed out, I heard them saying that they wanted me alive.. but for what purpose? There was a higher ranking member with us.. So probably not information.. I wonder if they noticed me I'm awake yet..
One the ground the red and green pegasus stallion healer has opened his eyes and is staring at you and Madison with a curious and slightly fearful expression.

He looks hopelessly depressed at the idea and pushes his hoof against the snow.

"On it." Maddie prods him slightly so he doesn't drag his hooves about it and then walks with him out of sight, to an empty building you passed on the way over here.

The hilly terrain here could make for a way to break up large groups, the scattered buildings would make decent hiding spots, of course, they might already be hiding there on their way south. And you can spot the outline of a castle in the distance.

You scatter a few explosive runes onto the entrances to larger buildings you pass and make your way to the castle. This is where the bulk of the ponies seem to be gathering, there is dangerous looking mote, a draw bridge, roaming guards on the inside, a few pegasi floating by, and the castle itself is decently sized, two towers spiraling up on the north and south side.

You hide against the wall and try to count the ponies, but before you can get a handle on even just the fliers, one of them swoops down near you to rest and spots you.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" He shouts at you and draws a weapon.
Madison has caught up to you and remains unseen so far.

You roll forward toward a pile of snow just a little too slowly. The patrol descends around you surrounding you, they draw their weapons on you, two with swords and shields, two with pistols, and one appears to be getting read to cast a spell.
"I don't suppose you want to come quietly?" The caster asks as he examines you.
One of the melee guards scoffs at that. Maddie lurks nearby watching you.

Vanishing into a powdery whirlwind you move between them all slicing with your twin blades and making them fall onto the ground in, they look around quickly trying to get a lock on you and find you hoovering above them.

The melee fighters see you coming this time and do their best to block you, but your blades are a bit stronger then their defenses and you break through cutting through their armor and leaving a decent wound on both of them as they fall back down, the two ranged attackers have little chance to react before you are on them, slicing their necks.

This is your best guess as to where they are.

"Alright." Maddie watches you attempt to take off effectively soaking her with water as you dry off your wings and groans softly flicking most of the water off her onto the ground before climbing up the tower, and scoffing as you then soar past her to arrive just inside the window first. There are 4 ranged fighters, 4 casters, and two melee, they seem to be resting.

"Yea, Something's not right up here anymore, with ponies winding up dead like that."
"You think its a… spy?!" one of the ranged attackers comments dramatically.
"Well, if anyone is a spy its not you, moron."
You see a few locked boxes behind them.
