If only We had agents capable of such a thing. Sadly, if We wish to collect Our enemies souls, We must do it Ourselves.
‘Taste’ isn’t the right word, but it’s closer than any other to the sensations We experience absorbing another’s soul.
Indeed, but daemon princes often refer to souls as if they were food.
I consume souls!
some taste amazing, while others are blegh.
Good for you.
Wouldn’t that make me a daemon prince then Chaos Dude?
You know, when We were questioning you about your newfound religion, you never did tell Us what exactly Ordo Malleus thinks about your background.
We have not forgotten. We will attempt your plan should the means arise, but in the mean time We must proceed with the assumption that they will not.
The future is uncertain. Whatever it is you have learned may not be what actually occurs.
Alright. Follow me!
*as Steed leads them on, Kronos is in an underground chamber near the ruins. He is on top of a large pedestal, wearing a different jeweled bracelet on each of his legs and surround by machinery powered by the green liquid*
Kronos: …! *senses something approaching* I didn’t expect anyone to find me. Well, they can be dealt with- wait… something powerful is with them… *gasps* NIGHTMARE MOON?! Of all the ponies to join forces with, he joined force with her?! Grrr. Fine. I’ll have a little welcoming committee waiting for them. *his horn glows, activating several large red gems encased in a metal alloy, which then fly up on their own and move off to intercept the group* Let us see how they enjoy my sentries. *chuckles*
*Nightmare Moon’s strike team responds almost immediately to the incoming hostiles, opening fire with uncanny accuracy.*
Get down! *Nightmare Moon pushes Steed down as the firefight begins.*
We think not.
We’ve destroyed creatures like you before, and if you make yourself Our enemy We will do it again.
‘Taste’ isn’t the right word, but it’s closer than any other to the sensations We experience absorbing another’s soul.
The name is vaguely familiar.
We don’t look fondly on unauthorised extra-Equestrians in Equestria. Unless you can give Us something to ‘grease the wheels’, as the saying goes, We won’t be able to help you.
No. Souls don’t taste like anything at all to most ponies. Their deliciousness would be wasted on Our dinner guests.
