Part 3 http://pastebin.com/ZTwyKsMN   >You are Umbra >You watch as Anonymous opens the door and him and the girls head out >As the door begins to close you see someone open it >It's Arthas >He enters the castle before shutting the door behind him >"Good morning, my Queen" Arthas says "I take it Anonymous is going to fetch Lance." >You nod your head "Yes, Lance is finally being released from the hospital." You say "That mean you can start their training up again." >A smile flashes on his face before he reverts back to his usual self >"Oh, my Queen, I keep forgetting to tell you..." Arthas says "Did Credo tell you he was making improvements on the boys armors?" >You shake your head "No, I didn't." You say "That's why he took their armor?" >Arthas nods >"He said he wanted to improve them for the boys." Arthas says "I'm curious to see what he does." >As are you >Looking over to the clock hanging in the main hall, you look over to Arthas >"Day court is about to start soon." He says "We should get going." >You chuckle before nodding your head "The other captains are not even present yet." You say "They should be here after day court." >"They better." Arthas says "I had to track each of them down and give them the time." >Heading up the stairs you enter your throne room >Making your way over to your throne, you take your seat while Arthas stands besides you "Let them in!" You say "It's best to get this over with."   >Day court went by smoothly >It was as dull as usual >But at least it's done >"Well then, I think it's time we get going." Arthas says "We have a meeting to attend to." >Nodding your head, you rise from your throne and walk with Arthas >"I hope you know what you're doing." He says as you head down the stairs in the main hall "The other captains might not be so on board with this." >You sigh >You're going to have to convince them "Well they're going to have to be." You say "We need more allies." >And Eris would make quite the ally >Heading towards the stairs you make your way up >Reaching the 3rd floor, you walk down the hall >"Well just know, Queen Umbra, you have my support on this." Arthas says "I would love to be apart of something my ancestor was apart of." >You knew that would get him >You smile as you reach the doors >Placing a hoof on the door, you take a deep breath "Ready, Arthas?" >He nods his head "Then let's do this." >Pushing open the doors you and Arthas step inside   >As you enter the War Room, you see that your captains are here >Each of them get up and salute you as you make your way over to your seat >Arthas takes his seat first before removing his helmet >Taking your seat you relax for a moment "So here we are, another emergency meeting." You say looking at each of them "Thank you all for showing up on such short notice." >"Of course, Queen Umbra!" Cyprus says "Whenever you need us, we'll be here." >You smile at his attitude >"So what is it this time?" Stormhoof asks "The last time we had a meeting like this, was when you told you were going to the other Crystal Empire." >"Please tell me it's not something like that again." Marie says >Here we go again >You shake your head "No, I'm afraid it's worse than that." >Each of your captains look dead at you "The princesses are sending someone to find Anonymous." You say "Anonymous himself said that he's bound to find us eventually." >Almost instantly Marie puts her hooves on the table >"You see?!" She says "I told you all this would happen!" >She looks directly at you >"I know you don't want to hear this, my queen, but you need to give them the human." Marie says "The longer he's here the more danger you put your empire in."   >Your eye twitches >Already? >She already telling you to send him back!? >Rising from your chair you get ready to tear into her >But before you can say anything, Cyprus speaks up >"I was wondering how long it would take for you to suggest that." Cyprus says "It hasn't even been five minutes yet." >Marie looks over to him >"So you still support him being here?!" Maria asks >Cyprus nods before getting up >"Of course I do!" Cyprus says "I don't see why you feel the need to get rid of him." >"Because he's a danger to the empire!" Marie says "We've remained hidden for so long and now, Queen Umbra wants to throw all that away because she in love with him!" "Marie, you're treading on VERY thin ice right now." >"Oh right, I forgot he's a menace." Cyprus says in a sarcastic tone "I mean him and his friends didn't save some of our ponies from a rich bastard that held them hostage." >You hear Jin chuckle >"Not only that, but they stopped said pony who had taken over the dungeon." Cyprus continues "And to top it all off, they got hurt from it, and they all ended up in the hospital." >Cyprus chuckles and shakes his head >"Yeah, let's just fuck him over then." Cyprus says "It only seems like the right choice." >Marie looks away >"It doesn't matter." Marie says "We have to keep the empire hidden, and in order to do that we need to hand over the human to the sisters." >Enough of this! "MARIE!" >Both Marie and Cyprus jump >You place your hooves on the table "How dare you speak of Anonymous ad his friends like that!" You say "I should strip you of the title of captain!" >Marie looks down at the table >"You best mind your tongue!" You yell "I am in NO mood to put up with this today!" >Marie says nothing more before sitting back down   >"I only want what's best for the empire." Marie says "How can you keep putting your citizens in danger for this human?" >Just as your about to sit down?! >As you rise from your seat again, Arthas puts his hoof up >"Queen Umbra." He says "Just relax." >You stare at him for a moment before sitting down >"Marie, that's enough." Arthas says "Queen Umbra didn't call this meeting to talk about Anonymous." >Looking over you see Arthas and Jin both have their eyes closed >"And besides, you should know that no matter what we say to the Queen, we'll never separate her from her beloved." Jin says >"Such is love." Stormhoof says with a sigh "What a pain." >You chuckle "They're right." You say "And Anonymous is a citizen of this empire, therefore he is under my protection." >Cyprus only nods his head while Marie remains silent "Now Marie, anymore quips about Anonymous or what we should do with him and I'll seal that mouth of yours shut." >Marie only nods her head >"So Queen Umbra, why are we here?" Jin asks "Well we might as well get to it." You say "I called you all here because I know someone that can help us with this fellow that's looking for us and Anonymous." >Jin and Stormhoof looked intrigued while Cyprus looks confused "We're going to unseal a powerful ally tomorrow." You say "I need all your support tomorrow."   >"Wait, tomorrow?!" Arthas asks >You nod your head "The sooner the better." You say "I need time to talk to her and get her adjusted to the empire now." >You look window "The empire is a much different place now." >You look over to him "The boys will also be ready tomorrow." >"You're bringing them along?" Marie asks "Why?!" >"It was my idea. We could use the backup." Arthas says "Is there a problem with that?" >He glares at her >You look over to Marie to see her shake her head >"Hold on..." Jin says "What exactly are we unsealing?" >You look over to him "A friend." You say "If your asking what she is, well... You'll see." >Jin and Stormhoof look at each other >"So if she's a friend, why is she sealed away?" Cyprus asks >"And how come this is the first time any of us are hearing about it?" Stormhoof asks "This is the first time you're hearing about it, because this is a secret know by only a few." You say "The only ponies to know about this was an ancestor of Arthas's, and the captains at the time." >You look over to Cyprus "She sealed away because she was being a menace to the empire." You say "She liked to play jokes and cause trouble." >"So then why are we going to release her?" Marie asks "Because she's our best chance at stopping the person the sisters are sending."   >"Is she that powerful?" Arthas asks >You smile "She is." You say "She's one of the few beings in this world that have come close to defeating me in combat." >You look out the window "If she had won that duel... She would be running my empire right now." >"Whoa." Cyprus says "That's kinda scary." >It is >Although now you're sure you can take her in a fight >"Are you sure this is a good idea, my Queen?" Jin asks >You look back to him and nod "With all of us working together, I'm sure things will go right." You say "Besides, we need her." >Each captain looks at each other before Cyprus speaks up >"Well you can can count me in." Cyprus says "I'll clear my schedule for tomorrow." >You smile before looking over to Stormhoof and Jin >"This could be interesting, Stormhoof." Jin says "It's a chance to be a part of history." >"Even though I somewhat agree with Marie about this Anonymous fellow, we could use another powerful ally against the sisters." Stormhoof says "Very well, we'll be ready tomorrow." >Thank goodness >At least Stormhoof knows when to keep his opinions of Anonymous to himself >Unlike a certain mare in this room >Looking over to Marie, you await her answer >You're sure she'll somehow try to drag Anonymous into this >"It's so hard for me to agree with all of this." She says "Especially when we can solve it all just by-" "Marie. If you finish that sentence, nopony in this room will be able to help you escape my wrath." >You stare deep into her eyes almost as if you were trying to see her soul before she looks away >"Since everypony else is on board, then I guess I am too." She says "I'll be ready tomorrow." >You smile "And since Arthas told me he's ready whenever..." You say "That means we're ready for tomorrow."   >"Arthas, what about your boys?" Jin asks "They only just healed up, right?" >Arthas nods >"They'll be fine, I'll get them suited up and ready tomorrow." Arthas says "This should be a great way to get them back into it." >You see Marie look away "Well then get some rest tonight, everypony." You say "Tomorrow is gong to be very important for all of us." >They all nod their head before getting up to leave >Except Arthas, who stays seated >As they exit the room, you look over to Arthas >"Tomorrow should be fun." Arthas says "The captains haven't worked together on one assignment in some time." >He looks over to the door >"Still... Marie's distrust for Anonymous worries me." He says "She better not do anything foolish tomorrow." "If she does, it'll be the last thing she does as a captain." You say "But you never know, maybe when she works with him tomorrow she'll warm up to him." >"We can only hope." Arthas says "Well then, I think it's time I get going." >You nod your head as he rises from his seat "See you tomorrow, Arthas." You say "Make sure you get some rest." >"You too, my Queen." He says as he exits the room >As the door closes behind him, you lean back against your seat >Well, you did it >Tomorrow you'll work with the captains and Anonymous and his friends to unseal Eris "I just hope everything goes right." >Getting up from your seat, you figure you'll go see your brother >At least until Anonymous comes home >Walking towards the door you head out and upstairs   "And that what's going to happen tomorrow." You say as Sombra moves his chess piece >You told Sombra everything >About the meeting and about Eris >He was more surprised to hear about Eris >Sombra looks to you as he awaits your next move >"Well then, dear sister, I wish you luck with this." Sombra says "I hope you know what you're doing." >You nod your head "I do. I have faith everything will go well tomorrow." >You make your move >Looking up to your brother, you smile >"What?" He asks before looking down at the table "Checkmate." You say "I win, again." >His eyes go wide before they meet yours >You know that look anywhere >You sigh >Here we go again >Sombra yells in frustration before throwing the chessboard >As the pieces fly everywhere, you shake your head "You know this is fun and all, but do you think we can play a different game?" You ask "I get the feeling chess isn't your strong suit. Maybe checkers?" >Sombra opens his mouth, but before anything can come out you hear another voice >"Hey Umbra?" You hear a voice call out >That must be Anonymous! >Closing your eyes, you leave the realm of your mind and return to the real world >Opening your eyes, you turn around and you see Anonymous standing there >Smiling, you stand up and jump at him   "Anonymous!" >Anonymous catches you in his arms and you give him a hug >"Hey there Umbra..." He says returning the hug "How'd your meeting go?" >You smile "It went better than expected." You say "Apart from one mare that kept questioning me..." >"That's good to hear." He says before looking behind you "Hey Sombra." >Looking back you see your brother pulsate violently on the wall >"Is he alright?" Anonymous asks "Or was the sight of us hugging too much for him?" >You laugh "He's just being a sore loser again." You say "Anyway, how did it go with Ariadne and Cynthia?" >"It went well." Anonymous says "The girls were excited to have Lance back." >Anonymous rubs his head >"Both of them were so loud when they saw him all healed up." He says "But it was all nice to see." >You would hope so >Ariadne has her love back and Cynthia has her brother back "Why don't we return to our room?" You say "We have some things to go over for tomorrow." >"What about Sombra?" Anonymous asks "He needs to cool off." You say "We can talk to him tomorrow." >Letting go of Anonymous, you both head out of the room and back to your room   >Entering your room you and Anonymous split up to get ready for bed >As you do you tell him about what happened during the meeting >He didn't really know how to react about Marie >"So tomorrow, huh?" Anonymous asks "Well I'll be ready. I'm sure the guys will be too." >That's good to know >Everyone will need to be on top of their game for tomorrow >As the both of you finish getting undressed you notice Anonymous climbing into bed >Better not keep him waiting >Climbing into bed you snuggle up next to Anonymous >He lets out a yawn before looking down at you >"I guess we should get straight to sleep." Anonymous says "We'll need our energy for tomorrow." >You nod your head "We need to get up early so you and your friends can grab your gear from Credo." >Anonymous nods his head and you two kiss before closing your eyes >"Goodnight, Umbra." Anonymous says "Goodnight, Anonymous." You say "Sweet dreams." >And as you begin to drift off, you think to yourself >Tomorrow is going to be a very important day >Not just for Anonymous and the empire >But for you as well >You're going to see her again >You only hope she'll be happy to see you >Letting out one final yawn, you drift off to sleep   >You are Anon >As you sleep you feel someone pushing you >"Anonymous, it's time to wake up." You hear Umbra say >Opening your eyes, you see Umbra smiling at you >You smile back before she kisses you >"Good morning, did you sleep well?" Umbra asks >You wipe the sleep from your eyes before nodding your head >You both went to bed really early, so you're good to go >Looking around the room, you see it's still somewhat dark >Looks like the sun is barely rising "What time is it?" >"It's only six." Umbra says "I woke up thirty minutes ago. I was going to wake you up too, but..." >She nuzzles up to you >"I really like this." She says "Staying warm with you." >You let out a relaxed sigh >God, she's warm >It's only now that you realize how cold it is "It's gonna be one of those days." >As you lay there with Umbra you remember something you were gonna ask her last night "Umbra, how are the guys supposed to know about today?" >"Arthas is going to get them." Umbra says "A maid ran up a note from him, that's how I woke up." >You look up to the ceiling "So how long do you want to stay like this?" >"Just a little bit longer." Umbra says "We'll go see Credo right after this."   >After a short bit of cuddling you both got out of bed and got ready >You both got dressed quickly and headed out >On your way down to Credo's workshop, you see notice that the maids are starting to come out >When you reach the main hall, Umbra asks a maid if Edith can prepare a quick breakfast for her and you >Just a cup of coffee and a muffin >Reaching Credo's workshop, Umbra knocks on the door >No response >Umbra knocks again, this time harder >after a moment of silence you hear crashing noises from inside >The door slowly opens and you see a rather tired looking Credo >"Good morning, Lady Umbra!" Credo says before looking at you "And good morning, Anon! I take it yer here for yer gear?" >He looks tired, but he sounds like he's full of energy >"Yes Credo, we'v come to grab Anonymous's things." Umbra says >"Well come on in!" Credo says opening the door "It's all ready for ya!" >Entering his workshop, you see your armor and sword waiting for you >Credo walks over and takes a seat as does Umbra >"Well? Try it on!" Credo says "I worked hard to improve it." >Nodding your head you start to put your armor back on >"So Credo, what exactly did you do to their armors?" Umbra asks >"Well, for starters I made Anon's armor stronger while making it easier for him to move in." Credo says "Can you tell, Anon?" >Taking your shirt off, you pick up the chest piece >Huh, it is lighter >Nodding your head you begin to put it on >"As for the boys..." Credo says "Biggs's armor is made to offer greater protection against large numbers." >Kicking your casual pants off you put on the ones for your armor >"I made Lance's a little bit heavier and stronger, for more protection as well." Credo says "I'm sure he'll get used to it quickly." >Lastly the boots >"And Wedge gets the same treatment as Anon." Credo says "Except his now has a bit more armor onto his making him less agile." >Grabbing your gloves you slip them on and grab Rebellion "All right. I'm all set."   >Umbra stands up and smiles at you >"You did a wonderful job, Credo." Umbra says "Hopefully this will keep him safe." >"Thank you, Lady Umbra." He says "I aim to please." >Umbra looks over to you >"We should wait for the others to show up." Umbra says "We can go when they're ready." >Nodding your head you and Umbra sit down >A maid brought both your breakfast to you, so you could finally get something in your stomach >While you eat, you see Credo rubbing his head "Rough night?" >Credo chuckles >"You could say that." Credo says "I just have a small headache." >"Maybe you shouldn't stay out so late and drink." Umbra says "I'm not saying you can't. I'm just saying you should cut back." >"It's hard, My Queen." Credo says "The taverns just have the best drinks around!" >He laughs before looking at you >"So Anon, when are we going to drink together?" Credo asks "I don't know, we should head out sometime." >Umbra looks over to you "I'll be responsible." >Credo laughs again >"Yeah, don't worry, Lady Umbra!" Credo says "I'll take care of him!" >As you continue to talk with Credo, your friends arrive with Arthas >They were excited to see what Credo did with their armor >After they got all suited up, you said your goodbye to Credo and headed outside >As you walk across the snowy field you see four other ponies >Hey it's that one captain, Cyprus >The other three must be the other captains   >Stopping near the captains they look over to you >While Arthas walks up to them you turn to see your friends talking about their armor >"I really like what Credo did to my armor." Biggs says "I feel like an indestructible shield now." >"You look the part too." Lance says "I'm glad he touched up my armor." >"Same here." Wedge says "We should be better protected now." >"So these are Arthas's boys..." A black stallion says "They still look green." >"They may look green, but there's something special about them, Jin." Arthas says >The captain walks up to you four before walking around you >It's almost as if he's examining you >"So you're Queen Umbra's lover..." He says stopping in front of you "A pleasure, I am Captain Jin. I'm the one in charge of the wall you see surrounding out empire." >He holds his hoof out >"It's nice to meet you four finally." He says "It nice to meet you too." You say before shaking his hoof >As he moves down and shakes hooves with your friends a grey stallion walks up to you >You can already tell that this guy doesn't seem too friendly >"I am Captain Stormhoof." He says holding out his hoof "I'm in charge of sending out squads to patrol the wastes." >Shaking his hoof he moves down to your friends >Looking off to the side you see a white mare with a black mane glaring at you >She does not look too happy to see you >The only question is what did you do? >"Marie, introduce yourself." Umbra says >The mare looks over to Umbra before approaching you >"I'm Captain Marie." She says in a cold tone "I'm in charge of security inside the empire, among other things." >She doesn't even hold her hoof for you, she just walks away >You look over to Umbra "Did I do something wrong?"   >Umbra only stares at Marie, who has her back to Umbra >"No, my love. You didn't do anything." Umbra says a hint of irritation in her voice >"Nah, she's always like that." Cyprus says "She doesn't trust you. She thinks we should ship you back to the princesses." >You raise an eyebrow at her >So she's like how Arthas was when you first got here >Whatever, if she doesn't trust you, you'll have to find some way for her to trust you >Umbra shakes her head before calling out to all of you >"Come, now that introductions are over, let's not waste anymore time." She says >As Umbra heads off, her captains follow right behind her >Looking over to your friends, they nod and you all follow them >"That one captain is kinda cute." Wedge says "It's strange she doesn't like Anon though." "It doesn't bother me, maybe she'll come around after this." >Reaching the training ground you all enter the arena >Lining up next to the captains, Umbra and Arthas take the front >"So we all know why we're here." Arthas says "Queen Umbra believes a powerful ally slumbers deep under our hooves. Our job is to help her with unsealing her." >Arthas looks over to you and your friends >"I want you four to stay behind us." He says "I also need one hundred and ten percent from you four." >You all nod your head before Arthas looks to the other captains >"You four already know what we need to do." Arthas says "Protect the Queen, at all costs."   >They all nod before Arthas looks over to Umbra >He nods his head and stands besides you >"Stand back everypony." Umbra says as horn begins to glow >Suddenly feel the ground begin to shake >Looking at Umbra, you can see the concentration in her face >It looks like she's struggling to preform this spell >Sweat starts to form before it runs down her head >Continuing to watch, you see the floor open before you >As it opens you see a set of staircases leading down >Whoa, it goes down >You see candles light up, but you still don't see the bottom >Jesus, she had to move all this crystal out of the way? >When the glow around her horn dies down you rush over to her side >She's panting heavily as she tries to recover her breath "You okay, Umbra?" >She nods her head before looking over to you >"I'm fine, I just haven't done that in a long time." She says with a wink "Come on, let's get going." >Getting up you wait till you and your are the last ones to head in >"Our first day back and we're already doing crazy shit." Biggs says "I love it." >"Eh, no rest for us." Lance says "I wouldn't have it any other way." >"Come on you guys, we got to get going." >Letting out a chuckle you all begin to head down the stairs   >It feels like it's been forever since you've gone down these steps >Step after step after step, it's crazy! >Eris must have been really bad if Umbra sealed her this far down >It didn't help that everyone is quiet >You wish you could be up there with Umbra, but orders are orders >Finally when you reach the ground level of this place, you all stop at an impressive looking door >Umbra's horn begins to light up again and you hear the sound of locks becoming undone >After a few clicks the doors open, and you feast your eyes on the inside of the room "Whoa..." >Looking around the chamber you see how spacious it is >The crystal walls shine a dark purple while banners decorate it >The crystal floor is black, but it has purple rugs leading to another sturdy looking door >"Why is it so big in here?" Lance asks as he begins to fly around >"This was how she wanted her chambers to look." Umbra says "She wouldn't go to sleep otherwise." >Was she spoiled or something >"So am I to believe she's in here?" Jin asks looking up to the door >Umbra nods her head >"Before we go any further, I want you all to get ready." Umbra says >"We're already ready." Stormhoof says "I can't say the same about the rookies." >"We're good to go." Biggs says >Looking over to Umbra, you nod >"Well if everypony is set." Umbra says >Umbra's horn lights up and the locks on the door begin to come undone >After hearing the last lock, you see Umbra hesitate to open the door >Walking up besides her she looks up at you "I'm hear for you, don't worry." >Umbra smiles before pushing open the door >As they open up you're immediately shocked at the first thing you see >Is that Discord?! >No, wait... He looks more feminine >"That's her." Umbra says "Eris." >This is Eris?! >What the shit?! >As Umbra gets closer you notice that Eris's eyes are beginning to open   "Umbra! She's waking up!" >As Eris begins to slowly open her eyes, she begins to rise from that lavish bed of hers >While she continues to rise, you see she looks just like Discord >Apart from her slender figure and her more feminine features on her face >Her eyes are the same as Discord, as are her horns >Hell, if Discord wanted to be a girl, this is what he would look like >She even has a cute looking hairdo >Her eyes open fully and she looks around her surroundings >Umbra takes a defensive stance as Arthas speaks out >"Everypony!" Arthas says "Get ready to defend Queen Umbra!" >Everyone draws their weapons as Eris turns her attention to Umbra >"Who dares awaken me?" Eris says in a chilling voice >Umbra moves closer to her >"Eris, it's me, Umbra." Umbra says "Remember?" >"Umbra?" Eris says "You... You sealed me away..." >The tensions so thick in here you can cut it with your sword >Umbra nods >"I did, but remember it was part of our deal." Umbra says "If I defeated you, you would sleep." >"You cheated!" Eris yells, causing you all to go on guard >"No, I didn't." Umbra says "You let overconfidence get the better of you." >"Eris shakes her head >"Liar! It matters not though. " Eris says "Now that you've woken me up, I can finally be free again!" >She takes an aggressive stance >"And what better way to enjoy my new freedom, than to enact my revenge on you!" Eris says "And once I'm done with you, I'll take your empire!" >Oh no >Umbra holds her ground >"Eris, don't do this..." Umbra says "Let's just talk about this." >"The time for talk is over!" Eris says "Now we fight! Have at you!" >And just like that Eris pounces Umbra   >Eris swoops in and grabs Umbra, lifting her in the air with her "Umbra!" You yell out >Eris turns to you >"Nobody moves, or your Queen gets it!" Eris says >None of you moves a muscle as you're unsure what to do >"Dammit!" Arthas says "We need to do something!" >"There's no way she can stop us all." Cyprus says "We should just rush her." >"Yes, from all sides... And above." Jin says looking up >Glancing up you see Lance flying high above Eris >"Then let's save our Queen." Stormhoof says >You all quickly get in position and surround Eris >While you do this Lance get's ready to strike >Once you're all in position, Arthas speaks up >"All right everypony, Charg-" >"WAIT!" Umbra yells out "Don't move!" >You all look at her "Wait, why?" >Umbra looks back to Eris >"How long are you going to keep this up?" Umbra asks >Eris looks confused >"Keep what up? My revenge?" Eris asks "I won't stop until everything you own is mine!" >Umbra rolls her eyes >"H-Hey, I'm serious!" Eris says "I'll take everything from you!" >"No you won't." Umbra says "Because you're not even being serious." >The look of hatred leaves Eris's face instantly >"No way, you couldn't have found me out already!" Eris says "I was doing such a good job!" >What? >"Have at you? You don't talk like that." Umbra says "And besides you just revealed yourself." >Eris sports a dumbfounded look on her face >Looking around at everyone else they're also confused >A moment of silence passes before a smile forms on Eris's face >"Oh well I tried to have some fun..." Eris says pulling Umbra into a hug "Umbra! I missed you!"   >Umbra look surprised >"You missed me?" Umbra asks "Really?" >She nods her head >"Why wouldn't I?" Eris asks "I don't know how long I've been down here, But I can tell it's been a long time." >Umbra smile and Eris puts her down >"I missed my best friend," Eris says "Really the only friend I had." >D'aww >Umbra looks back to all of you >"Stand down, everypony." Umbra says "There's no threat present." >Eris smiles before laying back down on her bed >"So Umbra, how long has it been?" Eris asks "I see you don't have that old fart of a head captain with you." >Looking over to Arthas, you see he has his eyes closed as he lets out an irritated sigh >You hold back a chuckle >"It's been a few years." Umbra says "This is my newest head captain, Arthas. His great, great, great, great, great grandfather was the one you knew." >Eris looks over Arthas before looking back to Umbra >"Why do they look so angry?" Eris says before looking at the other captains >The only two that haven't lowered their guard are Marie and Stormhoof >When she looks over at you and your friends, she raises an eyebrow at you >Eris gets up off her bed and makes her way over to you >For the first time you see a nervous look on Umbra's face >"And who's this?" Eris asks as she circles around you >You're starting to feel a bit uncomfortable here >Umbra's eyes are glued to you and Eris >All you can do is shrug >When she makes a full circle her eyes meet yours >"He's kinda cute." Eris says, a smile forming on her face   >Oh... >Not like this... >Eris looks over to Lance, Biggs, and Wedge >While she does, you look over to Umbra >She looks like she's about to flip out on Eris >Her captains are all huddled together and talking >Can you get some help over here!? >"They're all kinda cute." She says before returning to you "But this one's different, like me." >The way she's eyeing you... >It's scary, but slightly arousing "So handsome, what's your name and what exactly are you?" Eris asks >You swallow the lump in your throat "A-Anonymous, or Anon." You say "I-I'm a human." >Jesus, get it together! >Eris smiles >"Anon, huh?" Eris asks before running two fingers down your chest piece "Tell me Anon, ever been with a Draconequus before?" >God dammit, why does this always happen to you?! "Uh, well I... Um...." >"Wait! Anon's a committed human!" Lance yells "A-Actually we all are! Yeah that's right, we all have marefriends!" >Lance with the save! >"Wait, what?!" Biggs says >Wedge slaps him upside the head >Eris frowns >"To who are you committed to?" Eris asks, cocking her head "Come on handsome, I'm not a pony, I'm sure you'll have much more fun with me..." >"Eris, back away from him." Umbra says >Looking over to your right you see Umbra politely push Eris back >"Why?" Eris asks "I just want to have some fun..." >Umbra stands in front of you >"Not with Anonymous." Umbra says "He's mine, He's my special somepony."   >Eris looks at you for a moment before looking back to Umbra >She instantly bursts into a laughing fit as she floats above the ground >"You? With a lover?!" Eris asks "Yeah right! You were always so uninterested about that!" >You see a blush form on Umbra's face >"I-I'm serious, Eris!" Umbra says "Anonymous and I are a couple!" >You nod your head >"It's not possible!" Eris says "When I still stayed with you, you were turning down anyone and everyone who tried to ask you out." >You're a pretty lucky guy >"How am I to believe that handsome here was the one?" Eris asks >Umbra turns to look at you >"He's different than every other pony." Umbra says "He's funny, charming, and kind. Attributes that none of those ponies had." >You smile >Umbra stands up before placing her fore legs on your shoulders >"Remember the festival, Eris?" Umbra asks "Anonymous was the first to accompany me, as a close friend." "It was that night that we got serious." You say as you place your hands on her sides "That was the best night of my life." >Umbra smile and blushes at you before looking at Eris >She has a surprised expression on her face >"Eris, I love him." Umbra says "With all my heart." >Umbra places her lips on yours and you both share a sweet and tender kiss >It's feels weird with everyone's eyes on you >But you need to show Eris that you're taken >When Umbra pulls away, she let's go of you and looks back to Eris >"Even I could find love." Umbra says "I hope that's good enough for you." >You see Eris think it over for a bit before nodding her head >"It is, for now..." Eris says "But I want to talk about this later." >She looks over at you >"And don't start thinking you're safe from me!" Eris says before winking at you "Now that I know that you're the only one to woo my Umbra, that makes you even more interesting." >God dammit >"E-Eris!" Umbra says >"Oh this is going to be so much fun!" Eris says "So why'd you wake me up, Umbra?"   >You look over to Umbra >"We need your help." Umbra says "I need your help, Eris." >Eris looks confused >"The princesses, you remember them, right?" Umbra asks "They're sending someone to find Anonymous. I was hoping you could help us with the them." >She looks over to you before back to Umbra >"Of course I'll help you and Anon!" Eris says "Just tell me who the poor sucker is and I'll get em!" >You like this enthusiasm "Do you know a Draconequus named Discord?" >Her ears perk up and she looks over to you >"Discord?! Of course I know him!" Eris says "I used to pick on him all the time!" >Discord getting bullied? >For some reason that makes you smile >"So you know what he's capable of?" Umbra asks "That's good. Do you think you could handle him?" >Eris nods her head >"He always use to think he was the best at using Chaos magic." Eris says "And every time I'd have to remind him he wasn't." >Umbra turns to face you >"Well Anonymous?" Umbra asks "What do you think?" "I think we're in a good spot." You say "Knowing that Eris used to bully Discord, kinda puts me at peace." >"Then it's settled." Umbra says "Eris would you-" >You hear a growling sound >Looking at Eris, she places her paw on her stomach before blushing >"Sorry about that." She says with a shy smile "I haven't eaten in a long time." >Well that makes sense >She's only been asleep for hundreds of years >Umbra looks over at her captains >You see Arthas nods before she looks back to Eris before chuckling >"We can go get something to eat." Umbra says "But we need to set some rules first."   >"About what?" Eris asks >"If you're going to come up the surface again, I need you to behave." Umbra says "No causing mayhem and chaos for my ponies." >Eris thinks about it before nodding her head >"Deal." Eris says before looking over to you "And if I do misbehave, you can have Anon discipline me." >Eris again winks at you >She's as bad as the damn doctor! >You cover your face and look away >"A-And that's another thing! Anonymous is off limits!" Umbra yells "So stop talking to him like that!" >Looking back you see Umbra flipping out >Yup, she's losing it >"If you try anything, I swear I'll-" Umbra says >"Aww Umbra, you're getting all flustered!" Eris says, placing her hands on the sides of Umbra's face "Your face is all red, it's soooooooo cute!" >"I-I'm serious!" Umbra says slapping Eris's hands away "No one can take him from me!" >Poor girl's face is glowing red >Umbra's kinda cute when she like this, all jealous and flustered >Looking around you see your friends and Cyprus smiling and laughing >Arthas, Jin, and Stormhoof watch on as Umbra and Eris argue, if you could call it that >And Marie still glaring at you >But when you look at her, she looks away >What the hell is her problem? >As Umbra and Eris start to settle down, Eris nods >"If it means I can get my food faster, than yes. I'll leave Anon alone." Eris says with a smile "For now."   >For now?! >Fuck, now you're going to have to be on guard around her >There's no way you're taking your pants off around her >You'll go and shower at Lance's place if need be >"Eris, I swear if you try anything I'll-!" Umbra says before Eris places her paw on Umbra's mouth >"Come on! Let's get out of here!" Eris says in a whinny tone "I need some fresh air." >Her stomach rumbles again and she holds it >"And I'm starving!" Eris cries >Umbra stares at her for a moment before nodding her head >Umbra looks over to her captains and motions them to come over >"Fine, let us go, Eris." Umbra says "We'll get you something to eat and then we'll get you settled in." >As the captains walk up they surround Eris >"We're just doing this as a precaution." Umbra says >Eris nods before they start heading towards the doors leading to the stairs >You friends walk up besides you and Lance places a hoof on your shoulder >"Being you must be fun." Lance says "Now you have super power being trying to get in your pants" >"It sounds more exhausting than anything." Wedge says >You sigh >"So, Anon, what are you going to do about her?" Biggs asks >Maybe you should get a chastity belt... >You shake your head "I just need to keep my distance from her is all." You say "It's like Lance said, I'm a committed human." >Biggs looks at you >"That's good." Biggs said "I was afraid you'd say something else." "Like what?!" >"Come on, you four, we're leaving!" Arthas says "Or stay if you want to be sealed in here." >You all look over to them before running over to them   >When walking up the stairs you wonder where things will go now >You know that Umbra still wants to deal with Alastor >And Arthas wants to work you and your friends to the brink of death >And maybe these other captains will have work for you and your friends >And Discord >If he'll listen to reason than maybe you won't have to use Eris >Speaking of Discord, you wonder where he stands on all this >Did he agree to look for you of his own free will? >Or did Celestia and Luna order him to? >You wouldn't put it past them, especially now >Celestia starting to get desperate >And that kinda scares you >You really hope Celestia doesn't try to get Twilight and her friends involved >No doubt if Cadance talked to Twilight, then Twilight told her friends >More importantly Fluttershy >And knowing her and Discord, they probably talked about you and what they should do in this situation >You look up the steps to Umbra >You wish the girls could see the empire and meet Umbra... >When this is all over they can >You know at least Twilight would love to talk about Star Swirl with Umbra >As you start to reach the top, you see more natural light >"Finally!" Lance says "I was starting to get a little crazy there." >Reaching the final steps you all exit the stairwell   >Stepping outside the stairwell, Eris shields her eyes >"It's so bright out here!" Eris says >"It's only bright because you've been sealed away for so long." Umbra says >Eris snaps her fingers and a pair of sunglasses pop out of thin air >Chaos magic is so interesting >"That's kinda neat." Biggs says "Wish I could do that." >As she place them on Arthas walks up to Umbra >"So what now?" Arthas asks "Where do we go from here?" >Umbra looks at Eris, who is looking around the garden >"Has everything changed?" Eris asks "I don't remember that giant wall being here." >"The other captains may return to their duties." Umbra says looking back to Arthas "You, myself, and the boys will watch over Eris for now." >"Are you sure, my Queen?" Jin asks >Umbra nods her head >"I don't think Eris is planning to do anything wrong." Umbra says "I'm sure we'll be fine." >The captains look over to Arthas, which he nods >"Alright, I you need to send for us, don't hesitate to." Jin says before walking off >The rest of the captains say their goodbyes before leaving >As you watch them walk away Biggs speaks >"I like how we got suited up and nothing even happened." Biggs says "I'm feeling a bit sad." >"I think it's better nothing happened." Wedge says "We just got out of recuperating." >"Yeah, I agree." Lance says "I don't want my wings to break so soon after they just healed." >"Oh don't worry you four, you'll get a chance to try that armor soon." Arthas cuts in "You all should sleep early tonight, you're going to need the extra energy for tomorrow when we get back to training." >You all sigh >Umbra chuckles before stepping in >"Do you boys want some lunch?" Umbra asks "It the least I can do as thanks for your help-!" >Suddenly Umbra shrieks as Eris grabs her >"To the kitchen!" Eris says as she scoops Umbra up again >With Eris running off with Umbra in her arm, you all follow right behind them   >As you walk through the halls of the castle, you see all eyes are on Eris >And why wouldn't they be? >Eris is a strange looking creature to them >Stranger than you >Not only that, but she's carrying their Queen in her arm >It doesn't help that Umbra keep yelling in protest for Eris to put her down >At first you were all going to help her, but then you realize you can't do much >When you arrive at the dinning room, Eris looks around >"I really like what you did with the place." Eris says "I'm happy to see you didn't keep the place the same." >Umbra flails around >"Eris! Put me down!" Umbra yells >Eris looks down to her before turning to you >"Here Anon!" She says before throwing Umbra to you "Take her." >Whoa what?! >You quickly react and catch her >Looking down at her you smile "I got you." You say "I'm not so sure you still think this is a good idea." >Umbra blushes before looking away in embarrassment   >"I'm starting to have second thoughts." Umbra says jokingly "I forgot how much of a handful she was." "Well you got me to help this time around." You say "We'll get through this." >She smiles and looks back up to you before planting a quick peck on your lips >"As much as I love being held in your arms, can you put me down, Anonymous?" Umbra asks "So we can eat?" >You sigh "If you want." You say as you put her back down "I really like holding you like that." >She smiles before making her way over to the dinning table >As you take a seat, Lance comes over and sits next to you >"Don't worry, Anon. I got your back." Lance whispers to you "I'll take this seat so Eris can't." "Thanks Lance." >Biggs, Wedge, and Arthas sit across from you >When Eris comes over she looks at Lance >"Aw, I wanted to sit next to him." Eris says >"Here Eris, you can sit between me and Arthas." Umbra says >Umbra uses her magic and brings a chair over to the table >"Can I sit between you and Anon?" Eris asks >"No." Umbra immediately responds >Eris smiles before getting closer to you >"Why not?" Eris asks while placing her hands on your shoulders "Are you afraid I'll do something to your human lover?" >Umbra glares at Eris, which Eris just laughs >"Oh okay!" Eris says as she let's go of you "Don't get on scary on me." >When Eris finally takes her seat next to Umbra, you see Edith come trotting out of the kitchen   >"Good afternoon, Lady Umbra." Edith says as she opens her eyes "How are you...?" >When Edith sees Eris, she stops in her tracks >You can see that she's wondering what the hell Eris is >You would too, in her position >Eris looks back to Edith and waves >"Hello! I'm ready to get some food in me!" Eris says before her stomach rumbles >Umbra shakes her head before nodding her head towards Edith >Edith carefully makes her way over to your table before standing on your side of the table >"Uh, Lady Umbra?" Edith asks "What is that?" >"An ally, and a friend." Umbra says "Her name is Eris. She's going to be staying here from now on." >Edith glances over to Eris >Eris gives her a innocent look >"Well even though you look intimidating, if Lady Umbra says you're a friend than I shall cook for you too." Edith says "My name is Edith, care to tell me what you're hungering for?" >"Pie!" Eris says "I don't care what kind, I just need something to shut my stomach up!" >Edith pulls out her notepad before jotting it down >"How many do you want?" Edith asks >"Five!" Eris says >Five pies?! >"And what would the rest of you like?" Edith asks >You, Umbra, Arthas went for some fruit bowls >While Lance, Biggs, and Wedge asked for hay sandwiches >As Edith jots down your orders she looks up to Umbra >"I shall return shortly." Edith says as she head back >Looking over to Eris, you her looking at you >A smile flashes across her face and she winks at you >You look away >"My Queen, have you figured out where Eris is going to stay?" Arthas asks >"I can just sleep with Umbra and Anon!" Eris asks   "Nope." You say before Umbra can even open her mouth "I feel like you're going to try something." >Umbra smiles at you >While Eris has a frown on her face "Aw come on!" Eris says giving you puppy eyes "Umbra and I used to sleep together all the time..." "What?" >"A-At the foot of my bed!" Umbra says as a blush forms on her face "Nothing like how we sleep!" >You chuckle "Don't you have a bedroom down there?" >"I'm not going back down there in that hole!" Eris says "It would take me forever to go down and come up everyday." >Damn, she has a point >You don't want to be a dick and tell her to do that >But Umbra, on the other hand... >Wait, can't she teleport? >"Correct me if I'm wrong. but didn't you make a room for Anonymous when he first arrived?" Arthas says "I'm sure he hasn't used it anymore since you two you became... Close." >Umbra looks over to Arthas >"Why not just have her sleep there?" Arthas asks >That's not a bad idea >But the things is, Sombra is currently staying there >You look over to Umbra >If Sombra wasn't currently occupying the room you're sure she'd have no problem with it >But she wants to keep him a secret until he gets his body >She's thinking really hard about this >"You could always make Eris her own room." Wedge suggest >After a moment of thinking Umbra looks over at Eris >"You can stay with us for now." Umbra says   >"Really?!" Eris asks >You raise an eyebrow at Umbra "Yeah, really?" >Umbra nods >"So long as she doesn't do anything to you." Umbra says "It'll be fine." >Eris smiles >"I promise I'll behave." Eris says >You lean in and whisper to her "You sure about this?" >"Positive." Umbra says "If she does do anything, I'll make a room for her." >You're still not sure, but Umbra seems to trust her enough "Alright..." You say "Let's just hope she doesn't get frisky at night." >Moving away you see Edith come out with a cart full of food >"Okay everypony, I have your lunch!" Edith says as she comes up the the table >As she gives everyone their lunch you see Eris's mouth beginning to water >Edith passes the pies that are filled red, blue, and yellow to Eris >Before Edith can even let go of the last pie, Eris takes it and shoves her face right into it >That's one hungry girl >While Eris gobbles away Umbra smiles >Arthas looks at her with an annoyed expression on his face >"She always loved pie." Umbra says before eating a piece of her fruit bowl "Let her indulge herself." >"Wow Biggs, I think I found someone who came put more food away than you." Lance says "I never thought I'd see the day." >"Lance, you're lucky we're eating with Queen Umbra right now." Biggs says "Otherwise I'd jump over this table and shove that sandwich down your throat." >"Can you to just behave for an hour?" Wedge asks >You chuckle before digging into your lunch   >While you ate lunch, you could only watch as Eris tore through her pies >It was a sight really >Like watching a lion tear into a gazelle >Except with strawberries and blueberries instead of organs >When she finally finished up her pies, she snaps her fingers and a glass of chocolate milk appears in front of her >She is just like Discord >Except when it comes to being all sexual towards you and shit >As she finishes her glass of milk, she places the glass on the table before wiping her mouth and letting out a satisfied sigh >"Oh baby, that's the stuff!" Eris says as she pats her belly, which has gotten noticeably bigger >Well she's so damn slim >"That mare really knows her stuff, Umbra!" Eris says >"She's one of the best chefs in the empire." Umbra says "Her meals will always leave you feeling full." >Arthas wipes his mouth his napkin before leaving his for in his now empty bowl >"So what's next my Queen?" Arthas asks "There's still quite a bit of time left in the day." >You look over to the grandfather clock in the room >It's barely past noon >"I'm not sure really." Umbra says "I was thinking of showing Eris around the empire tomorrow." >Umbra thinks for a moment >"I think I'll get her settled in for tonight and explain the whole situation right now." Umbra says "And then we'd turn in early since you'll need Anonymous and the boys tomorrow." >Arthas nods his head >"Well then it seems that Eris isn't planning to do anything foolish, so I'll make my leave." He says before getting up and looking to you "Six o clock, tomorrow morning. Don't be late." >And with that Arthas makes his way out   >"Six?" Lance says in a whiny tone >"What's the problem?" Biggs asks "We wake up at that time all the time." >"Not as of late, with us recuperating." Wedge says "I know I've been sleeping in." >"Well that ends today!" Biggs says "We got to get back to it if we're gonna be the best guards in the empire." >Lance sighs >"I'm not looking forward to tomorrow." Lance says >As they get up from their seats the look at Umbra and bow >"Thank you for inviting us to lunch, Queen Umbra." Wedge says "We appreciate it." >"You're quite welcome, boys." Umbra says "Enjoy the rest of your day, and make sure you all get a good nights sleep." >You friends nod before looking over to you >Your friends say goodbye to you and they head out >Leaving you alone with Umbra and Eris >"We should get going too." Umbra says "We have a lot to go over with Eris." "Let's go then." >"Oh goodie!" Eris says as she rises out of her seat "I can't wait to see the old room!" >Getting up from your seats you all head out the dining room and towards the stairs >As you head up the stairs, Umbra keeps telling Eris rules that she has to follow >Mainly rules about what not to do to you and how to act in the room >Eventually when you reach the top floor, you start heading down the hall >That is until you come up to Sombra's room >You see Eris stop in her tracks and she looks over to the doors >She doesn't say anything, she just stares at it >You and Umbra look at each other before Umbra speaks up >"Eris?" Umbra asks "Are you okay?" >"There's somepony in there." Eris says "It feels like you, Umbra."   >She can sense Sombra in there? >You look over to Umbra >She doesn't look surprised at all >Hey maybe she can sense Discord when he gets close >"Come on, Eris." Umbra says "We'll explain everything soon." >Continuing down the hall, you stop at the doors and Umbra's guards salute her >"This is Eris." Umbra says "She is allowed to exit and enter the room when she pleases." >The guards nod and they open the doors for you >Entering the room you see Eris make herself comfortable by climbing on the bed >"I love what you've done with the place." Eris says "This bed is bigger than I remember." >"The old bed is in Anonymous's room." Umbra says >Eris smiles before giving you a sultry look >"Oooooh! Did you ever tell him about the shenanigans we did in that bed?" Eris says >Umbra's face immediately goes red and she looks towards you >"W-We didn't do anything Anonymous, she just making it up!" Umbra says before looking at Eris "And you! Stop making up absurd lies about us!" >"I've missed messing with you, Umbra." Eris says >Eris smiles before giggling and rolling around in the bed >"Say, handsome, how come you don't use that room?" Eris asks   "Well I did, when I first got here." You say "But I was having some messed up nightmare and Umbra wanted to help me, so she asked me to stay with her during the night so we could get rid of them." >"So my little Umbra made the first move?" Eris says before looking at her "I didn't think you had it in you." >Umbra blushes >"I couldn't sleep soundly while his nightmares tortured him." Umbra says "I had to do something." >"So I assume Umbra helped you." Eris says before smiling "So why did you keep sleeping together? I remember that scary pony saying something about you two getting close." >Eris relaxes on the bed >"I'd love to know about it..." Eris says "I love to know how the human conquered the Queen." >You scratch the back of your head while Umbra kicks her hoof "We told you about the festival, but before that we feeling really close to each other, physically and emotionally." >You look over to Umbra who smiles at you "One thing led to another and we..." >You stop as you see Eris lift her hands up >She makes a circle with her paw hand and raises a finger with her talon hand >Is she going to...? >She inserts the finger into the hole before smiling at you and Umbra >She is >"Is that what happened?" Eris asks a big smile on her face >You just nod your head embarrassment >God dammit >Does she got off on making you and Umbra flustered?! >"So tell me, Umbra... How good was it?" Eris asks "Was he gentle for your first time? Or did he rock your world?" >"I'm not telling you about what happened that night!" Umbra says "That's only for me and Anonymous to know!" >Umbra looks over to you >"Besides, we didn't come up here to tell you about our lovemaking." Umbra says "We came up here to fill you in on whats going on." >Eris begins to pout "So how much are we going to tell her?" >"Everything." Umbra says "We'll leave out anything inappropriate. She'll get distracted" "Well then we better get started."   >You and Umbra told Eris everything >How you ended up at the empire >The dreams >Celestia and Luna >Hell even Sombra >The only things you kept from her was the alternate world and Luna's attempts to rape you >Anyway you talked for hours until it was time for dinner >After eating some steak with Umbra while Eris stuff more pie in her mouth, you all returned for the room >It was then that it hit you >Eris is going to sleep in the same bed with you and Umbra >Entering the room Umbra looks over to you >"Anonymous, dear, why don't you go change in the bathroom?" Umbra says "I need to talk to Eris one last time and make sure she understands the rules." >Nodding your head you gather your pajama pants and head over to the bathroom >Once inside you begin to change as you hear Umbra talk to Eris >Sounds like Umbra's laying down the law in there >Leaving your armor in the bathroom you head back out >Coming out of the bathroom you see Umbra and Eris already in bed >They left you an open spot in the middle >You should have seen this coming >Eris's pupils go all heart shape as she sees you >"Hellloooo nurse!" Eris says before whistling at you "So that's what you look like without your armor on." >You blush and make your way to the bed   "So.... I'm in the middle?" >Umbra nods >"I couldn't get her to move." Umbra says "But she made a promise to behave herself." >Shaking your head, you climb into bed and get comfortable >As Umbra snuggles up to you, so does Eris >"Eris, I said no!" Umbra says >"Oh come on!" Eris says "I wanna cuddle too! You're just being selfish!" >"He's my beloved!" Umbra snaps back >As the girls begin to argue you start to panic a little >Oh fuck >Two beautiful girls are cuddling up to you >Lewd thoughts are coming in >And Anon Jr starting to react >Stop dammit! Control yourself! >You need to sleep now! "Girls!" You say, silencing them both "I need to wake up early tomorrow, so please, let's just get to bed." >"But Anonymous!" Umbra says >You roll over so that your facing Umbra and you pull her in "Don't worry, I'll always be yours. Nothing will change that." You say >Umbra smiles and you look back to Eris "You can stay close, but your hands better not go anywhere they're not supposed to." >"Roger!" Eris says "That >"Goodnight, my love." Umbra says before giving you a kiss >"Yeah, goodnight handsome." Eris says >Umbra eyes go back to staring at Eris >As the candles dim the glow of her eyes get more intense >Fuck it, she won't sleep till Eris does "Goodnight, Umbra." You say before shutting your eyes "And you too, Eris."   >You are Umbra >After Anonymous fell asleep, you continued to watch Eris like a hawk >It was a few hours before Eris finally went to sleep, allowing you to finally sleep >As the next day rolled by, you started to stir from your sleep after hearing Eris giggle >That can't be good >Why does it feel like something keeps poking your stomach? >When you feel something brush past your rump, you open your eyes >The first thing you see is Anonymous >He's sleeping soundly >Currently you're snuggled up to your beloved >Looking at his chest you see Eris's arms wrapped around him >Damn the jealous side of you >You growl as you see her head pop up >"Good morning, Umbra!" Eris says with a smile on her face "Sleep well?" "Why were you giggling?" >Eris's smile only gets bigger >"I think Anon has a little problem." Eris says as she releases him "Look." >Eris moves back and puts a hand on Anonymous before laying him on his back >It's only then that you see it >Anonymous is... >He's erect at the moment   >"I think this is what stallions call morning wood. The good ol' stiffness " Eris says "If he were to roll onto his stomach, I don't think it would feel too good." >You get up and sit besides him "Anonymous..." >So that's what was poking you in the stomach >"Looks like he had a naughty dream." Eris says "I think we were the cause of it. After all, we are beautiful." >It probably didn't help that you wrapped your tail around his waist last night >You were afraid that Eris might try something >You shake your head when you see Eris reach for the blankets >Eris takes the blanket and pulls it down past his waist "E-Eris! Wait!" >As the blanket passes his waist and you fest your eyes upon his concealed manhood you feel your face getting hotter >It looks like it's trying to escape the confines of his pants >Gazing upon it, you start to feel a little warm... >Down there... >"Oh you poor thing..." Eris says as she licks her lips and reaches out "Here, let Eris take care of that for you..." >Your eyes snap up to her as you get up and stop her >Eris pulls back her paw as you stand over Anonymous "Eris, don't you dare." You say "I told you not to touch him like that!" >Eris pouts >"Well then what are you gonna do?" Eris asks as a sly smile forms on her face ""How are you gonna get rid of that stiffness?"   >You look at Anonymous >You can't leave him like this >It must be u-uncomfortable for him >And he's your special somepony! >You have to help him >Swallowing the lump in your throat you look at Eris "Eris, please get out." >Eris looks over to you >"What was that?" She asks all innocently "I didn't hear you," >Damn her! >Your face must be as red as these sheets >Steel yourself, Umbra >You take a deep breath "Go. I-I need to tend to Anonymous." You say, trying hard to keep your composure "And I can't do that while you're here!" >"Come on!" Eris says "I won't do anything, I swear!" >You point at the door >Eris looks at the door and then back to you before grumbling >"This isn't fair..." She mumbles as she gets out of bed and makes her way over to the door "I'm still..." >You unable to make out what she says as she exits the room >Now that you're alone with Anonymous you move between his legs >Using your magic you pull the blankets off him before biting the band of his pants >Taking a deep breath you pull them down along with his underwear >His manhood springs free from his pants and it stands at attention >You reach out to it, but you hesitate "W-What do I do?" >Anonymous usually takes the lead when you two do this >What can you do...? >You think back to the night of the festival >You remember that Anonymous had asked you if you could suck on it >Anonymous seemed to love that >You begin to get all flustered >M-Maybe you could do that for him again? >Reaching out you hold it in your hoof "Okay Anonymous. here I go."   >You are Anon >Are you a terrible person for having a lewd dream? >After heading to sleep you couldn't have a normal dream >Not after you felt Umbra's tail wrap around you >And Eris's tail slinking around your next >You had dreams of doing things, lewd things, to Umbra and Eris >You could only imagine what kind of things you could do with Eris's chaos magic >Nah you're still faithful to Umbra >Just everything that happened yesterday got to you >... >Why does your junk feel so wet? >You've never had a wet dream before >Is this what it's like? >A surge of pleasure hits you >W-What was that?! >Oh god is Eris finally go for it?! >Panic begins to set in >Opening your eyes you sit up in the bed only to be surprised by what you see >Umbra has her lips wrapped around your dick >When her eyes meet yours her face begins to turn into a nice shade of crimson "U-Umbra?!" >She goes down on your dick and you let out a small moan >You can feel her tongue work it's magic to your dick as it goes along the bottom of your shaft "Oh fuck..." >Umbra's horn lights up and you feel something push you back down >When Umbra lets you go she continues to give you a hoof job >"U-Uh I'm sorry Anonymous." Umbra says, her face all red "Eris had said that you had morning wood and I felt like I had to do something."   >This mare... >You could have rubbed one out when you woke up >But she's taking care of it for you >You chuckle >She too good for you >Wait she's never really been with a stallion >Does she even really understand what morning wood is? >Celestia never tried to wake you up like this >You smile "Thanks, Umbra." >She smiles before moving back down >As she takes you back into her mouth you reach down and run your hand through her mane >She shuts her eyes and she really start to get into it >Each time she goes up and down you feel yourself getting lost in pleasure >Oh man... >You can tell she's been at this for a while >Because you're already feel it coming "Umbra, I'm gonna...!" >Your hips buck and you release your load into Umbra's mouth >And just like last time she swallows it all >After riding it out, Umbra lets go of you before licking her lips >You see her get up and turn around >Looking at that amazing flank of hers you catch a glimpse of her marehood >It's winking at you >"Okay Anonymous, I hoped that helped." Umbra says "We should get ready now. You have to get to training." >Wut? >What kind of guy would you be if you didn't return the favor for her? >Unbeknownst to Umbra, you get up and get ready to grab her   >Wrapping your arms around Umbra, she jumps >"A-Anonymous?! What are you doinEEEEEE!?" She says as you pick her up >Flipping her over you, you lay her on her back >Crawling over her, you look down at her >Umbra's face is all red, Her ears are drooped, and she's covering her chest with her hooves >Looking down you see her tail is is resting between her legs, hiding her marehood from you >"A-Anonymous! What's gotten into you?!" Umbra asks >You smile and lean down "A certain mare I love just woke me up in the best way possible." You whisper into her ear "I just thought I'd return the favor for her." >Umbra smiles >"That's not really necessary, my love." Umbra whispers back >A mischievous smiles forms on your face >Placing a hand on her stomach, she jumps >As you begin to give her a belly rub, she squirms underneath you "Are you sure about that, my lovely queen?" You say as you move your hand down south >"A-Anonymous~" Umbra moans out "I was happy to oooohhh~" >You stop when you feel the warmth of her nether regions >Umbra has her eyes shut as she tries to suppress another moan with her hoof "What's the matter, Umbra?" You whisper into her ear "Did you change your mind?" >You nibble on her ear >Moving her tail out of the way, you being to trace the outside of her lips >She's wet as fuck right now "Come on, I can tell you want this..." You say "You can't lie to me." >Umbra finally gives in and lets out another lewd moan >"Stop teasing me you f-fool!" Umbra says "I didn't do this to you..." >You chuckle and give her a kiss on her muzzle "I suppose you're right." You say before looking around the room "Where's Eris?" >"I told her to go anywhere besides here, so we could do this!" Umbra says "Now hurry up!" >Damn, now she wants it real bad   "As you wish, Umbra." >Slipping a finger inside her, she shudders >It's pretty warm in here >As you continue to prod her with your finger, you start kissing her down her body >You can feel her hooves on the top of your head >She's trying to get you down faster "Patience, Umbra." >She huffs >You give her nips a little bit more attention by sucking on them >"Oh Anonymous~!" Umbra says "S-Stop you-! They're sensitive!" >You chuckle >Moving on, you reach your destination >Taking out your finger you move your face closer >The stench of arousal is fucking strong >It's an intoxicating aroma that fills your nose and clouds your mind >It's almost like when you smell your favorite food and you can't wait to dig in >Letting out a sigh you see Umbra shudder >"Please Anonymous..." She says "With pleasure." You say as you shove your face into her marevag >As you start to ravish Umbra, she can't suppress her moans any longer >"A-Anon! Oh my...!" She says "Don't stop~!" >Not like you were planning to >Continuing your assault, you wait till Umbra marehood winks at you before attacking that little button >Each time you do, Umbra practically loses her shit by screaming >Sombra probably hear that >Eris too,depending on where she is >This is nice >A nice way to wake up indeed >"ANONYMOUS!" Umbra says before she arches her back >The flood gates open and Umbra sprays her mare juice all over your face >You were planning on taking a shower anyway >Wiping your face off you climb back up >Umbra is trying to catch her breath as the recovers from her orgasm "There. Now we're even." >Umbra's eyes meet yours >Her horn begins to light up as you feel something rub your stuff >Looking down you see a magical glow on your junk >Looking back up to Umbra she has a sultry look on her face >"The pants... Lose them." She says as she tries to recover from her previous orgasm   >She doesn't have to tell you twice >Getting up off the the bed, you practically rip your pants off >While you do, you see Umbra get up before making her way to the foot of the bed >As you get back onto the bed, Umbra looks back at you >She raises her flank in the air before moving her tail aside >Your eyes are just focused on her marehood >Holy shit, that's hot >"Anonymous..." Umbra says in a very seductive tone "Make love to me..." >Brain? It's time... >Activate the dick >Grabbing two handfuls of Umbra flank she hisses in pleasure >Lining yourself up, you waste no time and slam into her >Umbra screams out before lowering her head on the bed >"Yessssssss~" Umbra says >Fuck she feels so good! >So warm, like a sauna >So tight, like a vice >So soft, like velvet >Not to mention her inner muscles are massaging and gripping your dick each time you thrust into her >You could die right here and you wouldn't care >"An... Anon... A-Anonymous~" >Shaking your head you come back to reality and get back to the task at hand >Not even a few more thrust, you feel Umbra inner wall tighten and she sprays mare juice all over your thighs >Oh. She came >You don't stop pounding that marevag though >Granted, that little spasm of hers brought you closer to the edge >"C-Curse you and that stamina of yours..." Umbra says >You smile and lean over her "You know you love it." >Umbra cranes her neck back and you plant your lips on hers >Your tongues battle for dominance as you feel yourself getting close >Breaking the kiss, you huff "Umbra, I'm about to..." >"Go ahead, my love~" She say while licking your cheek "Come for me." "F-Fuck, Umbra... Don't talk like that." You try to say "It's too much!"   >With three final trust, you release your seed into her >You hold her close to you as rope after rope is shot into her >Umbra lets out a deafening scream before she spasms on your dick again >Yup >That was really loud >This is number three for the poor girl >Sombra is going to kick your ass when he gets his body back >But hey, it was worth >As your rush finally subsides, you try to catch your breath >While you do, your partner in crime slips out of Umbra >Wrapping your arms around your mare, you hold her and lay her down as she tries to recover from that last release >Moving some of her mane away she smiles at you "I love you, Umbra." >"And I *huff* love you, Anonymous." >You both share a sweet kiss >"AHHHHHH!" You hear someone cry out >Looking over to where you think you heard to voice, you see Eris appear out of nowhere >Why is she so tiny?! >She grows in size before collapsing onto the floor >Eris gasps for air before pulling her hand back up >Looking down, you see a tiny pink slit >Was she m-masturbating?! "You were watching us?!" >"Amazing..." Eris says, clearly still stuck in her high "I hate that Umbra won't share you..." >You expect Umbra to say something >Looking down at her she looks pissed >"Eris! *Huff* What in Tartarus are you doing in here!?" Umbra yells "I thought I told you to stay out!" >Eris gets up and wipes some sweat off >"I wanted to watch!" Eris says "I told you I was still gonna watch!" >While Umbra yells at Eris for disobeying her you look over to the clock >You got thirty minutes left till training >... >THIRTY?! >Fuck! Can you get ready in that amount of time? >You smell like pure debauchery "Umbra, we got to get ready." >Umbra, still looking out of it, looks over at the clock >"You're right. Come on let's take a quick shower together." Umbra says before looking at Eris "I'll deal with you later!" >Getting up from the bed you rush over to the bathroom while Eris takes the bed   >You feel like you've set a new record for how fast you cleaned yourself off >After rushing to the bathroom, you and Umbra quickly cleaned yourselves off >Well it more like she helped you clean up >She didn't have anywhere to be >As soon as you felt clean enough you booked it outside the bathroom while Umbra continued to wash herself >Almost slipping out of the bathroom, you start to put on your armor >You grab your pants first >While you do this you notice Eris is rolling around in your sheets >Eww >She better take a shower afterwards >Well at least she not commenting on your naked body right now >As you put on your gloves, Umbra trots out of the bathroom with a red bathrobe on and a towel around her head >She looks pretty cute actually >"I'm sorry you have to rush out of here." She says in a sad tone "It's my fault we..." >You walk up to her and silence her with a kiss "Hush, I really needed that too." You says holding both sides of her head "Besides, we can count that as the reward the doctor kept talking about." >Umbra smiles before giving you a kiss on the chin >"Good luck out there, my love." Umbra says "Have fun, and don't forget your belt." >Looking down, you see that you forgot your belt >Huh you did forget it... >No wonder your pants won't stay up "Thanks, Umbra." You say "What would I do without you?" >Her horn glows and she hands the belt to you >"You'd run out there with your pants falling down." Umbra says >Taking it, you look over at the clock and see that you're about to be late "I got to go." >She smiles and nods before you take off with belt in hand   >Exiting the bedroom you start to put on your belt >As you do, you notice the two night guards looking at you uncomfortably >They both have a slight tint of red on their faces "What?" >They shake their heads >"It's nothing." The guard on the right says >"It's just..." The guard on the left says "You and Queen Umbra were very loud this time." >You sigh before turning around to head down the hall >As you walk past your room the doors fly open >Yeah, of course >You poke your head in to see Sombra freaking out on the wall "Sombra, I don't have time for this!" You whisper "Tell it to your sister!" >Sombra's eyes go wide at what you just said to him as he starts to pulsate even more >Closing the doors you continue to attempt to put your belt on as you walk >God dammit, why are you having such a problem with this? >Reaching the main hall, you rush outside >You see your friends waiting for you already and you head over to them "I'm here! I'm here! I'm here!" >You struggle to get your belt on >Arthas looks at you with a not so amused look >"Right on time." Arthas says "I was afraid of having to go up there to get you." "You probably wouldn't have wanted to do that." >"So Anon, what was going on up there?" Lance asks as he gives you a big dumb smile >"Something I'm starting to think you'll never do..." Biggs says to Lance >Lance looks insulted before flipping out on Biggs >"Eris wasn't involved, right?" Wedge asks >Looking over to him, you shake your head "Of course not!" You say >Arthas clears his throat to grab your attention >Looking over to him, he smiles >"Alright you four, playtime is over." Arthas says "It's time to whip you all back into shape."   >You are Umbra >As you watch Anonymous leave the room, you smile >He so sweet for attending to your needs >Even if he knew he was going to be cutting it close >You love that human with all your heart >Without him around, things would be dull >No wonder Celestia wants him back >A shame you wont give him back >When the door closes behind him you turn your attention to the Draconequus in your bed >The sheets are wrapped around her >"Do you always apologize after the love making?" Eris asks with a smile on her face >You grit your teeth "What were you doing in here?!" You shout out "I told you to go somewhere else!" >Eris jumps >"Whoa! No need to yell..." Eris says "It's still early in the morning." "I'll yell whenever I want!" You yell "Now tell me!" >Eris shrugs >"I told you I was still gonna watch." Eris says "After I went outside, I shrunk down and sneaked right in." >You can feel yourself getting angrier "Why?!" >"Umbra, I'm a girl too." Eris says "And well... I have needs." >She blushes >"And I've been asleep for quite some time." Eris says "I needed to... Relieve myself." >This isn't really what you wanted to hear >"And I tell ya, watching you and Anon go at it really helped me." Eris says "I've never felt so refreshed!" "Okay! I get it!" You say "Just... next time I tell you to get out, I expect you to listen." >"Fine." Eris says >You shake your head before sighing "Hurry up and cleaned up." You say "You're not leaving the room smelling like-" >"Like your love juices?" Eris says "Shower! Now!" >Eris begins to laugh as she makes her way to the bathroom   >When you hear the water begin to run >Along with that she begins to sing in there >That, you did not miss >Letting out a sigh, you begin to gather your sheets >Might as well help Ariadne >As you do, you keep thinking back to Eris >The nerve of her! >Watching you and Anonymous while you... >You shake your head >Dammit, it just makes you so mad! >Your blood is beginning to boil! >Umbra. Stop >It's too early to be this mad >You take a deep breath >You have to spend the whole day with Eris >You can't stay angry at her >Even though she did peep on you and Anonymous while you made love >You can somewhat understand why she did >... >You're not just telling yourself that to stay calm >Your thoughts are interrupted at the sound of knocking on the door >Ariadne's early "Come on in, Ariadne." >The door opens and Ariadne pokes her head in >"I-Is it safe to come in?" She asks >You smile "Yes it's fine." >The door slowly opens and in comes Ariadne   >Almost immediately you see her nose scrunch up >"I knew you and Anon did THAT again! It smells in here!" Ariadne whines "Why is Anon always forcing you to do nasty things?" >She's so innocent >You wouldn't say he forced you >More like he persuaded you >Fingers are an amazing thing >You hear the shower stop >Along with Eris's singing >Ariadne looks over to the bathroom >"Oh, is Anon in the shower?" Ariadne asks "I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!" >As she heads over to the bathroom door, you try to stop her "Ariadne, wait! Anon's not-" >The door opens and out comes the steam >Ariadne freezes when she sees it's not Anonymous >"Ah! I feel so clean!" Eris says before looking down to Ariadne "Who are you?" >Ariadne scrambles before running behind you >"L-Lady U-Umbra...." She says in a scared tone "W-Who is t-that?" "Her name is Eris." You says "She's an old friend." >"Is she the one Lance helped with yesterday?" She asks >You nod your head >"Oooooh! That's a cute outfit!" Eris says as she walks up to Ariadne "Do you wear this for your coltfriend?" >Ariadne blushes >"N-No... Lance had never asked me to my maid uniform." Ariadne says >"Lance?" Eris asks "He's the one who was sitting next to Anon yesterday." You say "The Pegasi." >Eris nods >"Oh, him." Eris asks before looking at Ariadne "You wouldn't happen to have a spare outfit, would you?" >You don't like the sound of that "For what now?" >Eris looks away >"For no reason." Eris says "I just want to dress up."   >She's lying >You just know it >"I-I don't think I have one that fits y-you..." Ariadne says >She still scared of Eris >"I can fit into anything." Eris says while waving her hand "So come on, let's go!" >Ariadne starts shaking her head quickly >"B-But I have to clean Lady Umbra's room!" Ariadne says "I can't go anywhere!" >Eris throws her head back >"Ugh! Fine!" Eris says before she snaps her fingers >A paddle with a ball attached to it appears out of thin air >While she begins to play with it, Ariadne looks at you >"Should I get started now?" She asks "Go ahead, Ariadne." You say "She won't bother you." >Ariadne nods her head >While Ariadne gets started on her chores, you start to get dressed >Unwrapping the towel from your head you toss it to the side and make your way to your closet >"Anon thought you looked cute in that, by the way." Eris says "How do you know that?" >"I could see it on his face." Eris says >After getting on your armor, cape, and your crown, you feel ready to start the day >It's still really early though >As Ariadne continues to clean, you look up to Eris "Come on, Eris." You say "Let's go get some breakfast." >Exiting the room you make it half way down the hall before you see the doors to Sombra's room fly open >Looking inside you see him in his dark corner >He doesn't looked too pleased >You sigh "Eris, can you wait out here for a moment?" You ask "I need to talk to my brother." >Eris nods before you head into the room   >Closing the door behind you use the spell for talking with Sombra >As you connect to him, you see him run up to you >"Do you two ever stop!?" Sombra yells "You must have woken up the entire damn castle with your screaming!" >Here we go already >You blush >You really didn't think ever in your life that your brother would be screaming at you over something like this >If anything you expect this to happen with your father or mother "Oh calm down!" You yell "You're over exaggerating!" >"Do you not realize how loud you were?!" Sombra asks "I was enjoy a peaceful slumber after a long day of trying to reconstruct my body, only to be awaken by my sister screaming from her orgasm!" >You wonder how much progress he's made with that >"Are you listening to me, Umbra?!" Sombra asks "I swear I'm tempted to find father and mother in Tartarus and bring them up here..." >You roll your eyes as Sombra rambles on >Sombra doesn't understand the concept of love >Mother would most likely approve of your action, given the chance she could see you and Anonymous >Father on the other hoof would be a little more steamed to see his precious daughter purity taken before marriage >But if he had a chance to speak to Anonymous, you're sure he would warm up to him >You wonder if Sombra even took a mare when he was running his empire >"And Anonymous came in here and practically ignored me! While his pants were falling down no less!" Sombra says "Me! The stallion that graciously gave him his magic in the first place!" >Sombra starts pacing back and forth >"I swear, the first thing I do when I get my body back is choke that human!" Sombra says before turning to you "What do you have to say for yourself?!" >You stop thinking and look to him "So how rebuilding your body coming along?" >Sombra stares at you in disbelief >"Unbelievable..." Sombra says while shaking his head "Were you ignoring me all this time?!" "It was more like I was blocking out your yelling."   >Sombra stares at you again >"Why do I even bother...?" He says before holding up his right hoof "I was able to rebuild most of my right legs." >Wow, it's impressive that he's able to get so far >"I was going to try and do the left ones today after getting a good nights rest, but my sister and her lover ruined that." >You give your brother an apologetic look "I'm sure you got enough energy to keep trying." You say "You just don't like it when Anonymous and I engage in such activities." >"You're right, I don't." He says "As I said before, when you find a mare you like, I won't be so overprotective as you." >Sombra shakes his head before looking over to the door >"Sister, I feel some very powerful magic outside the room." Sombra says "Who or what is out there?" >"Eris. She's the one I told you about the other day." You say "We released her without a problem." >Well, with the way she's been acting towards Anonymous you wouldn't say that's entirely true >"How come you did not bring her in here with you?" Sombra asks "I'd like to see her." >Your reasoning for it is somewhat silly "I kinda don't want her to see you right now." >She will eventually, just not right now >"Why?" Sombra asks "Because I feel like she'll hound you, like she's trying to do with Anonymous." You say "When I told her I had a brother she uh, she got excited." >Sombra raises an eyebrow before shaking his head >"Whatever, I don't want to know." Sombra says "Just keep her away from me then." >You nod your head >"So what are you up to today?" Sombra asks "I have to show her around the empire." >"Sounds like fun, sister." Sombra says "Well I best not keep you any longer, I need to work on my body." >You walk up to Sombra before giving him a hug "Thank you, Sombra." You say "For trying this hard to return to me." >"Of course, Umbra." He says "Just keep it down from now on, will you?" "No promises." You say before winking at him >All Sombra does is shake his head as you exit the spell   >Exiting Sombra's room Eris is patiently waiting for you >"So when's your brother supposed to be back?" Eris asks "I kind of want to see if he looks anything like you." >You look at her before shaking your head "Not anytime soon." >Eris pouts and you both head down the stairs >As you head down the stairs Eris begins to float next to you >"So how do you think your ponies are going to react when they see me?" Eris asks "I remember when I first showed up everypony was afraid of me." "They should meet you with a positive-ish reaction." You say "As long as you're with me." >"Did Anon get a positive reaction when he showed up?" Eris asks >You shake your head as you and Eris reach the main hall "Kinda, the ponies were scared of him at first." You say "They thought he was my pet." >Eris sports a mischievous smiles >"Do you and Anonymous ever experiment with that kind of stuff in bed?" Eris says "I can see him with a collar around his neck..." >You blush "E-Eris please!" You say >Eris laughs >"I'm sorry, I forgot you're too pure and innocent to be demanding in bed." Eris says "Although seeing the show this morning shows makes me think otherwise." >You groan while Eris continues to laugh at your expense >It's going to be a long day >Although a part of you is happy to spend time with Eris again >Entering the dining room you take your seat while Eris takes Anonymous's   >Looking out towards the window, you can see Anonymous and his friends working hard outside >Arthas is standing on Anonymous's back while he does push ups >It looks like Anonymous is struggling with the extra weight >"Hey so what was the reward for?" Eris asks >You shake your head and look over to Eris "Hmm?" >"He said that a doctor kept talking about a reward." Eris says "What did he do to earn that love making this morning?" >You smile before looking out the window again "Anonymous and his friends brought down a stallion who had taken over the dungeon and took hostages." >"Oh wow!" Eris says "Yeah the Queen's marehood sounds like a good reward for that." >You open your mouth to say something to her, before you stop yourself >No matter how many times you tell her, she won't stop "Anonymous got hurt, and when he was resting in the hospital his doctor kept making little jokes about me rewarding Anonymous." >"With sex?" Eris says >You sigh before nodding your head >"Wait, Anon got hurt?!" Eris asks putting her hands on the table "By who?! Where's the damn stallion?! I'll send him into a sick twisted dimension made up of his worst fears!" >You chuckle >A empire where non ponies rule "He's locked away in the wolves cell." You say "I must say, Eris, I find it funny to see how you reacted to that." >"No one hurts that human, but me!" Eris yells "And I mean that in a loving way!" >You suppress the irritation rising within you >As long as she doesn't try to take him from you, it's fine >Eris turns to look at you >"What are you going to do to the stallion?" Eris asks >Good question "Tomorrow, myself, Arthas, and the boys are going to see him." You say "I'll deliver his punishment then." >"Can I come along?" Eris asks >It would be interesting to see what Eris would do to Alastor >As you think, Edith comes out of the kitchen   >"Good morning, Lady Umbra." Edith say bowing to you "And good morning to you, Eris." >"Good morning mare of delicious food!" Eris says waving to her >You look over to Eris "Eris, that is not her name." >Eris looks over to you before looking back to Edith >"Good morning, Edith." Eris says while rolling her eyes >Edith smiles before looking over to you >"So what would you like this morning, Lady Umbra?" Edith asks "You must be hungry after your doing your activities this morning." >Not her too! >You refuse to believe what Sombra said! >There's no way you were that loud! "I would just like some eggs." You say "Maybe a strip of bacon." >Edith writes it down before looking at Eris >"Do you do pancakes?" Eris asks >"Of course we do." Edith says "Is that what you want?" >Eris nods her head >"I want a big stack like this!" Eris says showing Edith with her arms "With butter and syrup all over!" >"I'll have it out in a jiffy." Edith says before returning to the kitchen >As she does you see Eris float over to the window >Getting up from your seat you head over as well   >Looking out the window again you see Anonymous running laps with his friends >As he comes around he looks up and waves at you >You smile and wave back before you see a snowball hit him on the head >"No lollygagging!" Arthas shouts "You can talk to her when I'm done breaking your spirit!" >You see Lance laugh as he flies around Anonymous before he gets hit with a snowball >Anonymous laughs at him before he looks back to you >You smile and nod and Anonymous gets back to it >"He's working real hard out there." Eris says while staring at Anonymous "He's looks good out there." >You look over to see her eyeing up Anonymous "Eris, snap out of it." >Eris shakes her head before looking at you >"Sorry." Eris says "I just don't understand how you can keep your hooves off him when you're alone." >You chuckle "I remember one day I was like that." You say "Anonymous had just learned how to use his magic and in the process his shirt had opened up, revealing that well toned body of his." >You begin to blush a little "Anonymous had told me I was ogling him like a school girl." You say "I was going to touch that chest of his, but before I could, he button upped his shirt." "I remember asking him if we could skip out date and for us to return to our room." >"He was teasing you." Eris says with a smile "Still it's funny to see how much you've changed, I know for a fact you wouldn't act like that back then." >You look back outside "Anonymous has helped me come out of my shell." You say "In a way I want to thank Celestia for being such a whorse. If she hadn't, Anonymous wouldn't be here to help me." >"Hey speaking of Celestia..." Eris says >Just then you hear the sound of hooves coming back >Looking behind you, you see Edith coming with your eggs while a unicorn brings Eris's tower of pancakes   >Taking your seats again Edith and her assistant place your plates on the table >Along with some syrup for Eris >"Will there be anything else, my Queen?" Edith asks "Some tea would be nice." >Edith bows in conformation before she heads back to the kitchen >As you grab your fork and knife, you notice Eris starts to float up into the air >"Oh wow look at this!" She says admiring her tower of pancakes "I-It's beautiful!" >You smile "Take your time and enjoy it, Eris." >"Oh I will!" Eris says as she begins to pour the syrup on top of her pancakes >As you both eat, Edith comes out with your tea >You take a sip before looking at Eris "So Eris, what where you going to say back there?" >This time Eris looks at you confused her mouth stuffed with pancakes "About Celestia?" >It takes a moment, but Eris finally remembers and swallows down her pancakes >"Oh yeah, I was gonna ask you what do you plan to do if she finds the empire?" Eris asks >That a strange question to come out of her "She won't find us." >"But what if she does somehow?" Eris asks "The way you and Anon made it out yesterday, you made sound like she won't give up." "If she does and she won't, we'll deal with her." >Eris looks unconvinced "Eris, it wouldn't be the first time my empire was invaded." You say "Even if the chances of it are low, we have plans for situations like that." >You see that Eris looks a bit more convinced before she turns back to her breakfast >"You're right, I'm sorry I brought it up." Eris says as she starts to eat again "Don't be." You say "Now come on, let's finish up our breakfast and be on our way."   >As you both ate your breakfast you continued to talk with Eris >About the things she can do when she's on her own >And about yourself and Anonymous >Thankfully she wasn't too intrusive with her questions >Sipping the last of your tea you let out a content sigh >You've been sitting her for quite some time now as you wait for Eris to finish >Only because you had a simple breakfast while she had a tower of pancakes >As Eris finally eats the last of her pancakes she snaps her fingers and a glass of chocolate milk appears >She down it quickly before wiping her mouth >"Delicious!" She says "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Eris." You say "Ready to head out?" >Eris nods >"There's just one thing I want to do real quick!" Eris says "What is it?" >"Here, stand up." Eris says as she rises from her chair "Oh and stand next to me." >Obliging her request you get up from your seat and walk up next to her "So what are we doieee-!?" You say before Eris picks you up >The next thing you know, you're teleported outside to the training ground >When you open your eyes, you see Anonymous and his friends staring at you >"Hey Anon!" Eris says waving to him "We just wanted to tell you not to wait up for us tonight! The girl are back in town!" >Anonymous and everypony else just stare at you and Eris >You struggle to break free, but to no avail "Eris! This is embarrassing!" >"Yeah! Okay! I'll see you two tonight!" Anonymous says "Now get out of here before I get yelled at!" >Eris only snickers before you both teleport back to the main hall >Eris places you down on the floor and you look up at her "Stop picking me up like that without giving me a warning first!" >Eris only laughs before you look towards the door "Let's get going." You say as you both head out into the empire   >Stepping out onto the streets of the Crystal Empire, Eris smells the air >"Ah! That fresh morning air!" Eris says with a smile on her face "I've missed this." >Looking around you see that ponies have already taken notice of Eris >They're already hiding their children >This should be interesting "Come on, Eris." >She nods and you take the lead >You might as well start at the residential district >As you head straight down the road, your citizens try to say hello to you before they run away because of Eris >It's somewhat humorous >Eris doesn't seem to mind though >She's too busy at looking at the sights >"There are lot more houses than I remember..." Eris says "A lot of families have appeared since you went to sleep." >As you come up to the gate leading out into The Frozen Wastes, you stop while Eris looks around >"So where did this giant wall come from?" Eris says as she look up >You think back "Remember when I told you that we were invaded once?" You ask "This wall was the result of it." >"What happened?" Eris asks "Changelings." You say "That poor excuse for a Queen and her children sneaked in here and tried to overthrow me."   >"Whaaaaa?" Eris asks "How did they even get past your guards?" "They disguised themselves as normal ponies." You say "Back then we weren't so strict on who we let in." >You think back to that disastrous day "I should have realized something was wrong a large group of ponies showed up out of the blue." >You look up at the gate "I was still so new in running an empire by myself." >"You can't beat yourself up over that." Eris says "Like you said you were still getting used to running an empire and you were probably being too nice." >You smile and look up to her "Thank you, Eris." >"So what happened next?" Eris asks "They tried and failed to overthrow me." You say "But not before taking the lives of some of my guards." >You close your eyes "I ended up losing it and I unleashed my magic on her children. I think I painted the walls of the throne room green that day." You say "I would have done the same to Chrysalis, but she managed to escape with only two of her children." >Eris looks surprised "After that, I had to build this wall and we had to tighten our security." You say "It took years to get it the way it is now." >Your mind begins to wander back to Chrysalis "I'd relish the opportunity to get my hooves on their Queen again." You say "To do what I didn't do long ago. And now with the power I hold now, I know I could." >Eris smiles at you >"I like this Umbra." She says I don't think I've ever seen you like this." >You chuckle "It's all in the past now." You say "Now I have Celestia to worry about." >"Will she get the same treatment?" Eris asks "We'll see..." You say with a smile >Turning back you and Eris make your way over to the market district   >Entering the market district, you see that more ponies are out and about >Again the ponies that see Eris stare at her and tend to stay away >You nod and wave your hoof to them letting them know that she's friendly >The shopkeepers are also opening their shops as you pass by them >Looking around for one of the clocks around the empire you see that eight >"There are a lot more shops too..." Eris says as she looks around "Oh! Is that a candy shop!?" >You swear she acts just like a child sometimes >As you head into the market you show Eris around while filling her in on what she's missed >"So you're saying that after you helped the farmers set up, things started booming around here?" Eris asks >You nod your head "It was tricky at first, seeing as how I didn't know anything about farming." You say "But thankfully the farmers walked me through it." >You look around at all the shops "And because of it the empire market district flourished." You say "Everything you see here? Most of it comes from the farms." >"Most?" Eris asks "Crops are sold to the surrounding business and restaurants." You say "I guarantee anything you eat here has ingredients that have come from the farm." >Eris looks around before walking over to a stand that is selling an assortment of treats >Coming up from behind her you see her looking at all the sweets in front of her >The pony manning the stand looks anxious, but he seems to relax when he sees you >"These all look delicious!" Eris says "I'll take two of these apple strudels." "But you just ate..." >The pony doesn't even ask for bits as he slides Eris's strudels over to her >She takes a bite out of it and a look of bliss comes on her face >Smiling you shake your head "Come on, Eris." You say "Let's continue on." >Eris nods before following you   >Continuing on. you enter the district that holds the park, school, hospital, and guard station >The restaurants Fazmare's, Teats, and The Stray Mare are also here >As you come near the school you see the little ones working on their studies >"So how did the kids react?" Eris asks "When I left..." >You look over to her to see that she's staring right at the playground >The little ones loved to play with Eris once they got to know her >Anything they could imagine, Eris would make it happen >It also helped that she made candy rain from the sky "They missed you." You say "They cried and asked me why we fought. After telling them the reason why, they made something for you." >Eris looks over to you >"T-They did?" Eris asks >You nod your head >"W-Well what was it?" Eris asks "I'll show when we return to the castle." >"You kept it? All this time?" Eris asks "Of course I did. I left it in the most secure room of the castle." You say "In case this day happened." >Eris smiles at you before looking at the window >"Do you think these ones would like me?" Eris asks "I'm sure they would, once they get to know you." >You notice that at the windows the little ones are looking at you and Eris >The look of curiosity is on all their face >The next thing you see is the door opening and Lance's little sister fly out   >"Hi Queen Umbra!" Cynthia says as she carefully flies over to you, her eyes occasionally looking over to Eris "Hello Cynthia!" You say with a smile "What are you doing out here? Aren't you supposed to be in class?" >"Ms. Strive said I could come out here!" Cynthia says before pointing to the window >She's right, Jillian is watching >"Everypony wants to know what she is!" Cynthia says looking at Eris >You find it funny that the little ones want to know more about Eris than the adults do >You look over to Eris "Well, Eris?" You say "Why don't you introduce yourself?" >Eris looks at you with a surprised expression before looking back at Cynthia >"M-My name is Eris." She says "I'm a draconequus." >"Eris?" Cynthia asks "Wait, are you the one my brother unsealed?" >Eris looks over to you "The pegasi." >Eris makes an "oh" face before looking back at Cynthia >"Yes, that's me." Eris says "Are you not afraid of me?" >Cynthia shakes her head >"I stopped being afraid of strange creatures after I met Anon!" Cynthia says "Plus you're with Queen Umbra, so you can't be bad!" >You see a smile form on Eris's face before she holds out her paw >Cynthia looks at it for a moment before Eris starts to twirl her talon hand above it >Before you know it a bag stuffed with sweets appears >Cynthia's eyes go wide as looks at the top of the bag >"Here cutie, this is for you." Eris says "Think of it as a thank you, for coming out to talk to me." >"Wow! For real!?" Cynthia asks looking back and forth between Eris and the bag "How'd you do that?!" >"I can do anything, Cynthia." Eris says "If you want I can come by tomorrow and show you more stuff I can do." >"Yeah! We can be friends and play games!" Cynthia says "Thank you, Eris!" >As Cynthia takes her bag she begins to fly back to the classroom "That was nice of you." >You see Eris blush >Waving goodbye to the little ones, you continue on   >Passing by The Stray Mare you look through the window >You can see the owner, Boss, cleaning some of the glasses while the waitress Erika goes about her work "And here is where the boys come to eat after a day of work" You say "If you need to find any of them during the afternoon, there's a good chance they'll be here." >Eris looks through the window >You see all the customer look at Eris before you see Boss wave to her >Eris waves back before looking over to you >"It looks like a nice place to eat." Eris says "It is, Anonymous asked me to come with him once and we had some delicious pizza here." >"I do like pizza." Eris says licking her lips >Smiling you turn and continue on "Let's go, I don't want you stuffing your face more." >Eris snickers before floating beside you >"So where we headed to next?" Eris asks "To the more high class side of the district." >"High class?" Eris asks "That wasn't a thing before." "You're right." You say "It's quite a site to see." >Continuing on you exit the current district and head into the High End District   >Entering the High End District your higher class citizens doing their mundane activities >"Whoa, look at all these fancy ponies." Eris says as she looks around "They're actually wearing clothes." >Eris doesn't see it, but as you look around you can see the other ponies giving Eris the same dirty looks as they did with Anonymous >You sigh >"So what's there to do around here?" Eris asks "Not much if you don't have the bits." You say "But as long as you're with me we can do something." >Speaking of which, you need to check on something while you're here "Let's get moving, Eris." >Eris nods and follows behind you >As you walk you continue to show Eris around this part of the empire >You show her the boutiques, flower shops, the high class restaurants, and everything else >Besides three spots "And this is where Anonymous gets his clothes from." You say as you come up to Seth's shop >Eris looks up at the shop sign >"I saw you had some dresses and stuff in your closet, do you get them from here too?" Eris asks >You shake your head "Some things I get here, but most of the time another rival business beat him to it." You say "They mostly make my formal attire." >You place a hoof on the door "But this time I'll let Seth have a chance." >Opening the door you step inside with Eris   >The bell rings above your head and Seth turns around to face you >"Welcome! What can I..." Seth stops when he sees you "Oh, Queen Umbra! What brings you to my shop this fine day?" >He looks at Eris >"And what is that?!" He says backing up "This is my friend, Eris." You say "I'm showing her around the empire." >She waves at him "She's harmless." >"Right..." Seth says before looking at you "So what can I do for you?" "I was wondering if you would make a dress for me?" >"Yeah I will!" Seth says in an excited tone "Anything to get one up on those bastards form Exotic Apparel!" >You smile while he pulls out a notepad >"So you have any idea how you want it to look?" Seth asks "And the colors?" >You give it some thought "Something for a romantic evening, maybe little sexy?" You ask with a small blush "Maybe it could show a little leg?" "As for the color... Can it be black?" You ask "Maybe some red in there as well?" >"Oooooooh!" Eris says "And who would this be for?" >You grit your teeth >She knows who this is for >"Yeah, I'd like to what this if for." Seth says as he jots down his notes "What's the occasion?" "Nothing really." You say "Just for a party at The Icy Gem Cavern."   >"A party? At the Icy Gem Cavern?" Seth asks "My queen, no disrespect, but I don't think you understand how big that is." >You chuckle >"Is that place really that good?" Eris asks >"It's the best restaurant in the empire! They even have some kind of bar in there that serves drinks that can knock you right out" Seth says "You have to know people to get in there or a lot of bits." >Eris looks intrigued >"Are you going to show me that place next?" Eris asks >You nod your head "After we're done here." You say before looking at Seth "So can you do it?" >"Can I do it?" Seth says "Oh yeah I can do it! Here, this is what I planned on doing." >You look at Seth's notepad while he begins to draw >"So I was thinking I could do a solid black dress with a little slit in the back to show that leg off." Seth says "Nothing as fancy as your festival dress, but stylish enough to make you look beautiful and sexy to that special somepony of yours." >Seth's horn lights up and he brings a chest over >He opens it, revealing an assortment of gems >He looks around the chest before pulling out a small red gem >"I was also thinking of putting a few of these into the dress." Seth says "They would give your dress a red glow under the right light." >He looks around his chest >"I may need to see that Diamond Dog and get more though." He says before looking back to you "So what do you think, my Queen?" >Looking at the paper you like the way it looks >And you're sure Anonymous would as well "I like it." You say "How much do I owe you?" >Seth pulls out a calculator before he presses the keys >"Fifteen bits, twenty five if you weren't the Queen." Seth says "When do you need it?" "I'm in no rush, but the sooner the better." You say "Thank you, Seth." >"Then I'll get to it." Seth says "Thank you for your business, Queen Umbra." >Nodding your head you turn to leave and you head back outside   >Heading back outside, Eris looks back through the window >"There's something off about him." Eris says "It feels like he likes to swing both ways." >You chuckle "I'm sure he does." You say "He's seen Anonymous's private areas. I could tell he was looking at him... In that way." >"I like how he gets to see it, but I don't." Eris says "We needed to get clothing for Anonymous." You say "Otherwise he would be walking around in the nude." >"Would that have been so bad?" Eris asks with a sly smile >You smile back at her "For him, it would." >Eris giggles and you both continue down the High End District >After a short walk you come up to your favorite restaurant in this district "And this is the Emerald Cafe!" You say looking at the sign "I come here whenever I have free time." >Eris smells the air >"I smell some delicious food in there!" Eris says "Like cake!" >She looks through the window >"Aw, and all the mares are wearing maid outfits." Eris says >You'll never understand her attractions to those outfits "They serve a variety of food such as sweets and sandwiches." >"Are they filled with hay?" Eris asks >You nod your head and Eris makes a gagging face >"What about peanut butter and jelly?" Eris asks You nod your head "Anyway we can come here sometime when I have free time." You say "Maybe Anonymous can come with us too." >Eris nods her head and you continue to your next stop >Walking a short way you come up to a set of double doors leading to the Icy Gem Cavern   >Eris looks at the outside of the building >"This place looks different from all the other places around here." Eris says "It also feels... Different." >Looking at the exterior of the building you can see what she means >The exterior of the building is a cool dark blue >The window are heavily tinted as to keep ponies on the outside from looking in >The neon sign they use is currently off, but it's still easy to make out the name >You smile >This was one of the more interesting building you built >The owner himself isn't normal to say the least >Looking down at the ground you can see the light shafts they use to illuminate the walls during the evening >Even though they're off right now due to it still being morning, it's a sight to see >Entering the small tunnel leading to the doors you can already hear the music from inside >Before you open the door, you turn to face Eris "I need you to be on your best behavior, Eris." You say "This is a very classy restaurant and we don't need to disturb the patrons." >Eris rolls her eyes >"It's not like they can yell at us or throw us out." Eris says "You're the Queen and I'm a Spirit of Chaos." >You shake your head "Eris, we need to be respectful of the other ponies." >Eris sighs >"Fine. I'll keep my mouth shut then." Eris says >You smile before turning back to the door >Pushing them open you and Eris head inside   >Entering The Icy Gem Cavern, you immediately feel a chill >You forget that they like to keep this place cold >Looking around you see a pony working at a small podium >Next to the podium you see a blue velvet rope blocking access to the restaurant itself >The lights shine high a nice cool blue above you >The sound of music fills the air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGcC9sn67Gg [Embed] >"Good morning, my Queen." The pony at the podium says in a smooth tone before looking at you "What can The Icy Gem Cavern do for you and your... Guest." >He doesn't seem afraid of Eris >That's a surprise "I need to speak with the owner." You say "I want to see if it's okay if I can bring a group of ponies for a medium sized party." >The pony nods >"My Queen, you could shut us down and we wouldn't say anything." The pony says "I'm quite certain a party wouldn't be too much trouble." >"These ponies are really loyal, huh?" Eris says "And they all talk different, all smooth like." >"Why wouldn't we be loyal?" The pony asks looking at Eris "It's because of our fair Queen that we are allowed to live in peace." >A smile forms on your face >"Come with me, my Queen." He says as he gets off his seat "He should be happy to see you." >His horn lights up a cool blue and he moves the rope for you and Eris to pass >As he closes it again he takes the lead and you follow him   >While you walk with the pony you look over to the stage >There's a unicorn pony working the piano while the other spots for musicians and DJ booth remain empty >They're usually all here during the evening "You see, Eris? There are booths and tables that surround a stage where musicians play." You say "There's also a small dance floor for couples that want to dance." >Eris sniffs around >"I can smell that they have some good food here as well." Eris says >"That is an understatement." The pony leading you to the owner says "Our chefs go above and beyond to create the most exquisite dishes for our guests." >Eris looks fascinated by everything >The pony at the piano finishes his song before starting up another one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbtdWAOMirE [Embed] >"I can see what that pony meant now." Eris says "This place is something else, and you want to have a party here?" >You nod your head >You want to bring Anonymous here for a romantic evening >Lance can bring Ariadne for a little date >If Biggs and Wedge can find dates they can bring them along >Or they can go with themselves >You know Arthas wouldn't come along unless he was forced too >If Credo hears about this he'll want to come along >Seems like Eris wants to come along as well >And it would be nice if Sombra could come along if his body is made >This party still won't happen for some time >Getting past the dinning area you see the bar >Coming up to the bar you see the red glow of his neon sign >"Sir, Queen Umbra has come to see you." The pony says >"Well, well. If it isn't my favorite mare in the empire." A deep yet smooth voice says "Finally come to visit me?" >You take a deep breath >The pony manning the bar turns around to face you >You can see the red glow behind his sunglasses before it quickly disappears >"What brings the Queen of The Empire to the Gates of Tartarus this morning?" He says   >You smile >The unicorn stallion across from you has a brown coat of fur >On top of his head his coat has a strange black symbol >He's also wearing a gray coat and a golden necklace "Hello, Rodin. How have you been?" >He shoots you a smile >"I've been good, real good." Rodin says "Even better now that the oh so beautiful Queen Umbra is in my presence. Here let me get you both a drink." >You see his horn light up a dark red and a very fancy looking bottle comes to him >He lifts two martini glasses and puts them on the bar top >"Gates of Tartarus?" Eris says "I thought this place was called The Icy Gem Cavern." >Rodin turns to face her as he continues to make your drinks >"Ponies are easy to scare." Rodin says "You should know that by now, Draconequus." >Eris looks surprised >"You know what I am?" Eris asks "My name is Eris, by the way." >"Why wouldn't I? I've seen a lot of strange things in this crazy world of ours." He says before staring at Eris >Eris stares deep into the sunglasses before backing up >"You're more than just a pony, aren't you?" Eris asks >Rodin only chuckles before lighting his cigar with his horn >"Anyway I call this place The Icy Gem Cavern because of the dining and entertainment over there." He says returning to your drinks "And to not scare ponies away. It's bad for business" >He runs a hoof along the counter >"The bar on the other hoof, is my baby." Rodin continue "She's the real gem hidden away in the cavern." >He begins pouring your drinks >"So, Queen Umbra..." He says as he finishes pouring the red liquid into your glasses "Business or pleasure this time?" >He pulls out a jar filled with cherries before taking two out and placing them in your drinks >You smile before taking your glass "Business, as always." You say "Besides, I have a special somepony now."   >Rodin smiles and looks around >"Speaking of which, where is he?" Rodin asks "I want to meet the lucky bastard." >You take a sip of your drink >The taste of cherry cider is strong, but delicious none the less "He's off training right now." You say as you stir your drink with the cherry "Why do you want to meet him again?" >"I just want to congratulate him on stealing you from every stallion in the empire." He says "Myself included." >You shoot him an amused look before rolling your eyes >"Did you two have something before?" Eris asks as she smells here drink >You quickly shake your head "No. He's just a friend." You say "This is just how he usually acts towards me." >"I'm only having fun with her." Rodin says "We keep it strictly professional." >Eris shrugs before she takes a sip from her drink >"Tasty!" She says >You smile before looking back to Rodin >"So what business do you want conduct today?" Rodin asks "I want to know if I can have a party here during the evening." You say "For my beloved and his friends." >Rodin stares at you for a moment before pulling out a book >"A party for your coltfriend and his buddies?" Rodin says "Yeah I can do that for you. When do you want to do that?" "Sometime during the week? Maybe in three days?" >Rodin writes it down in the book before looking up at you >"Consider it done." Rodin says "I'll see you and that stallion of yours in three days." >You smile before finishing your drink >Biting the cherry off the stem you place the glass back down "Thank you, Rodin." You say nodding your head "We'll be on our way." >As you and Eris turn to leave, you hear Rodin call out >"Come back real soon!" He says >Heading towards the exit, you head back outside   >Once you've returned outside with Eris, she turns to look at you >"So what is he exactly?" She asks "He's obviously not a normal pony." >You smile "Let's just say he's not from around here." You say as you think back to your brother >Sombra should recognize him if he remembers your adventures >You should bring him here when he returns "Now come on, we have one last district to get to. And really there's not much left to see." >Leading the way you take Eris to the last part of the empire >Where the farms and dungeon are located >There really isn't much to show so it goes by quick >"This has been fun." Eris says as you both take a seat on a bench "It's crazy to see how much this place has changed." >Even though Eris has been testing your patience with Anonymous, you'll admit that this has been an enjoyable morning >"Hey look! It's Anon!" Eris says pointing off to the distance >Looking over, you indeed see Anonymous and his friends running along the wall >They look like they're racing >Anonymous looks exhausted >Just how long have they been running? >You best not disturb him >You look up to the sky >It's about noon >"Eris, how about we go get lunch at the Emerald Cafe?" >Eris smiles and nods before you both get up and head back to the High End District   >After seeing the last of the empire with Eris, you returned to the Emerald Cafe to have a nice lunch with Eris >You both shared a delicious strawberry cake as you and Eris talked about things like Anonymous and his friends >When you and Eris were finally left alone you started to talk about other things >Like Celestia... >"Wow, Umbra. I didn't expect that kind of thing from you." Eris says "You still want to go through with it?" "After everything she's done to myself and Anonymous? Yes. I do want to make her watch." You say "It's the icing on the cake." >Eris laughs before taking another bite of her cake >"What if Anon doesn't want that?" Eris asks "I mean I don't think he could go through with that, she is his ex after all. And he's too nice." >You take a sip of your tea "If Anonymous doesn't want to, then we won't." You says "I won't force him to do anything just because I want to boast to Celestia that I won." >Eris smiles and you both return to your lunch >After finishing your lunch you and Eris both head back to the castle >It's a nice walk home as ponies are starting to become less afraid of Eris >When you finally return home you are welcome by Ariadne >"Your room is all clean now, Lady Umbra." Ariadne says in a tired tone "Tell Anon I said no more naughty business." >You always feel bad when Ariadne has to clean up yours and Anonymous... Mess >But when you and Anonymous get into it, it' difficult to stop >You and Eris chuckle before you give Ariadne a hug "Thank you, Ariadne." You say "You can take the rest of the day off." >Ariadne smiles before walking towards the kitchen >"I need something to eat." Ariadne says >Looking up at Eris, you motion her to follow you >You figure now is the best time to show her what the little ones left her >Eris looks confused for a moment before she realize what you want >"Oh yeah let's go!" Eris says as she begins to push you down the hall   "Eris! Get your hands off my butt!" >Eris smiles at you >"But you like it when Anon grabs your butt!" Eris says "At least that's what it looked like this morning." "THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS ANONYMOUS DOING IT, YOU-!" >Looking over to your right you see two of your guards >They're looking towards the ground >They're hearing everything! >"Your face is all red!" Eris says "It's not like they didn't hear you this morning with that scream." >You grit your teeth before taking off down the hall in embarrassment >Eris is not far behind you >Damn her! >Part of you doesn't even want to help her anymore! >But you know she's just teasing you >Coming up to the doors that lead to the chamber of the Crystal Tree, your guards get into a defensive position >"My Queen?! What's wrong?!" A guard asks "Has something happened?" >Coming to a halt, you shake your head "It's a long story." >"Umbra, wait up!" You hear Eris call out >Looking back you see her float over to you "I need to get something from the chamber." You say "I'll be right out." >The guards look at Eris before nodding their heads "Eris, just wait here." You say "I'll be out in a moment." >Eris nods her head >Opening the doors, you head inside   >Entering the chamber you let out a sigh >"So you guys heard her scream, right?" Eris says no doubt to your guards >Shaking your head you walk over to the tree >It shines bright while emitting a low humming noise >Placing your hoof on the tree you close your eyes >You wonder what Arthas is doing >As the image comes into focus it looks like Arthas is spinning around >It looks like he just bucked someone >As he turns around you see Anonymous face down in the snow >You can also see his friends >They all look beat up >"Sloppy!" Arthas says "Get up! You all can do better than that!" >You see Anonymous struggle to get up >He balls his hand into a fist before slamming it down into the snow >When he looks up, you smile when you see the look of determination on his face "Good luck, dear." >Opening your eyes, your horn lights up >Looking over to the wall you see a small part of it open up >You had place the letter the little ones left Eris in there >Walking over to it you grab the letter and the card from this makeshift safe >Looking down at it, you smile at the colorful drawings on the card >You really wonder what the little ones wrote to her >Closing up the spot again you had back out towards the door   >Opening the doors you step back outside >"Is that it!?" Eris asks as she rushes up to you "Gimme!" >You nod your head "Not here, Eris." You say "Come on, let's head back to my study." >Eris quickly nods her head and you both head back to the main hall >On your way down the hall you see two guards passing by >"I'm really glad I'm not those guys." One says "The captain is pretty much torturing them now." >"He's just training them to be the best." The other one says >As they pass by, Eris speaks up >"I wonder if Anon will make it back to the room tonight..." She says "If he doesn't I'll just have to go get him." You say "I can't sleep without him." >Eris smiles at you before you continue down the hall >When you reach the main hall you proceed to head towards and up the stairs >Reaching the top floor you head over to the door on the right >Opening up the door you step inside >You let out a sigh of relief before Eris pokes you >"Umbra, come on!" Eris says "Let me see it!" "Okay, okay!" You say "Here." >Handing her the card and the letter, you take a seat on the cushions around the floor >You should have brought Sombra's journal to read >Maybe you'll go grab it right now >Shaking your head you see that Eris is still staring at the card >She looks as if she doesn't know what to do "Go ahead, Eris." You say "Take your time."   >Eris looks over to you before looking down to the card >She lets it float next to her before opening up the letter >This should be interesting >"Hi Eris! It's me Blossom!" Eris says "If your reading this, that means Queen Umbra woke you up!" >Eris looks over to you >"I knew she'd be the one to write the letter." Eris says with a smile on her face >Blossom was her favorite >You smile and she looks back to the letter >"We wanted to do something for you since you had to go away." Eris continues to read he voice getting quieter "Queen Umbra told us what happened." >That was not a fun day for you >You remember you had to calm down the little ones after they broke down in tears >They really loved Eris >"We were sad to hear that you and Queen Umbra got into a fight..." Eris says "We don't really understand why, but we hope you both make up by the time you read this." >The smile on her face has completely disappeared >"We made you this card, as a thank you for all the fun times you brought us!" Eris continues "And if we aren't there anymore, don't be sad. Just know that you made school more fun for us!" >Eris fold the letter before opening up the card   >Curiosity gets the better of you and you get up >You really want to know what's in that card >Walking up behind Eris you stand up to get a look >What you see is crudely drawn images of Eris and the little ones surrounding her >Above it the words "Thank you, Eris!" and "We'll miss you!" are scribbled in crayon along with the little ones signatures >It's tugging on your heart strings >Eris stares at the card, a sad smile etched on her face >"They really did miss me..." Eris says "T-They're all gone now..." "I'm afraid so..." >You feel bad for her >Besides you the little ones were her only friends in the empire >You can see small tears form in the corner of her eyes >Is she... Crying? >There's no way >Eris notices you looking at her and quickly turns around "Eris..." >"I'm not crying!" She says sadness clearly in her voice "Something just flew into my eye!" >A soft smile forms on your face >You place a hoof on her back "It's okay, Eris." You say "You can let it out." >Eris hesitates for a moment before finally letting the tears flow   >You never thought you would see the day >The Draconequus that constantly teases you and your beloved >The same one that hardly lets anything get to her... >Has finally broken down in tears in front of you >As she sobs on the floor, you grab the card and letter and place them to the side >Sitting down right next to Eris, you try to console her "Just let it all out." You say "We all need a good cry sometimes." >You smile >You sound like Anonymous did when he first told you about your brother >While Eris continues to sob you continue to be there for her >She just needs her friend to be here with her "Look at the positives, Eris. They're are new little ones you can befriend." You say "You made a good impression on Cynthia already." >Eris wipes the tears away before looking at you >"Y-Yeah, you're right." Eris says still sniffling "I can make their school days better." "That's the spirit!" You say with a smile "Just don't make anymore giant cookie monsters, okay?" >Eris give you a weak giggle >"Come on, that was a fun day!" Eris says "Besides, after you blew it up everypony ate the pieces!" >That was really dark now that you think about it >You're snapped out of your thoughts when Eris nuzzles her cheek to yours >"Thank you, Umbra. For showing me this card and letter." Eris says "I don't know how to make it up to you." >You nuzzle back "You don't need to do anything, Eris." >Eris shakes her head >"If you want I can turn Anon into a stallion for a night." Eris says "Then again he wouldn't last too long in bed..." >Back to this we go >You laugh before shaking your head "It's fine, Eris." >"Well, I could turn you into a human." Eris says "For just a night or whenever you want."   >You're ears perk up at that >Would Anonymous enjoy that? >It is you after all and he loves you >You're also curious to know what you'd look like >You're sure you would look fantastic of course >You just want to see what human you would look like >You look at Eris only to see a smile on her face >"That got your attention huh?" Eris asks "I can do it for you if you want. Then you and Anon can have a pretty exciting night." "H-How long would I be a human?" >"I told you, about a night." Eris says with a smile "Is this messing with your ability to think?" >You start to collect your thoughts >I-It could be fun >And it would be a new experience for you "B-But we don't even know the anatomy of a female human!" >Are you seriously considering this?! >"I'm sure your marehood stays between your legs" Eris says "And it's not like we can't just ask Anon! I'll ask him tonight!" >You feel your cheeks get warm >This feels so weird to talk about "Eris, w-wait!" You say "I need to think about this!" >Eris give you a blank stare before nodding her head >"Okay." She says "I'm still gonna ask Anon about it though." >You go to say something, but before you can Eris looks over to the door >You look as well >There's nothing there nor is anything happening "Eris?" >She shakes her head before looking at you >"It's nothing, I was just thinking of doing something." Eris says >You raise an eyebrow at her before she nuzzles you cheek again >"Don't worry about it." Eris says "So what do we do now?"   >You are Non-Canon Anon >Yeah that makes sense! >Anything can happen here! Even Futa Ariadne! >Currently you're laying in the Non-Canon bed as Non-Canon Umbra and Non-Cannon Eris argue above you >"Eris, I said no!" Umbra yells "Anonymous is my lover!" >"Just this one time!" Eris says "Come on, look! Anon wants it!" >Looking down you see your half chub >Fuck you, dick >The idea of a threesome between You, Umbra, and Eris is kinda exciting though >And fuck you too, you perverted brain >You look over to Umbra >"Anonymous?" Umbra asks slight worry in her eyes "What do you want to do?" >You go to say something before you let out a moan of pleasure >"Isn't it obvious?" Eris says as she grab your dick "He wants to do us!" >You blush before Umbra tries to bite Eris >Holy shit! Watch the teeth! >As Umbra pulls away, you let out a sigh of relief >That was almost GJ for Anon Jr. "W-Watch it, Umbra!" You say "Don't want to harm my friend here, now do you?" >Umbra looks at you >"I'm sorry, my love." Umbra says "I just-" >"Anon, help me!" Eris says "With wha-?!" >Eris plants her lips on Umbra before putting her hand behind her head >Umbra's eyes widen as she tries to resist Eris by pulling away >You see that while Umbra is struggling it leaves you a clear view of her marehood >God damn it looks tasty! >With all the shit that's going on it feels like Anon Jr. is trying to break out of the prison known as your pants >You really hope Umbra doesn't get mad at you for this >Ah fuck it you'll be back to Canon Anon before you know it! >So long as the author gets his shit together and stops spending all his time on Smite and Black Ops 3 >Anyway there's a beautiful marehood that needs your attention and you're feeling hungry
