>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
 
>Reaching up you spread Umbra's lips
>She tenses up, but is unable to look at you due to Eris holding her face to hers
>Maybe some playful teasing will loosen her up
>Tracing the outside of her lips you can see her start to shake a little
>She's like a wall, all you have do is keep touching it inappropriately and it'll crumble away
>That really doesn't make sense, but roll with it
>While you continue to tease her, you see Eris pull away
>A trail of saliva connects them for a moment before it breaks
>You can hear the ragged breathing coming from the both of them
>"Oh baby, Umbra~!" Eris coos as she tries to catch her breath "Did I feel your tongue try to work it's way into my mouth? You're getting into this, aren't you?"
>Umbra shakes her head
>Liar
>Her marehood keeps winking at you like some thirsty slut at a cheap bar
>Not only that, but she's starting to get REALLY wet
>"N-No, I just-!" Umbra tries to say before she moans "Anonymous~!"
>You slipped in two of your fingers while she was talking
>Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
>As you slowly continue to move your fingers in and out of her, her inner walls keep trying to pull you deeper into her
>Sorry Umbra's cooch, but Anon Jr. is the only one brave enough to head that deep into you
>"Come on, just give in~." Eris says as she licks the side of Umbra face "You know you want Anon's meat stick in you..."
>Umbra looks back to you, her face all red
>"I-I do, but...!" Umbra says before another lust filled moan pierces the air
>While Umbra tries to compose herself, you feel Eris pulling your pants off
>With one quick motion your dick springs out and it's ready for actions
 
>You can hear Eris coo when she sees your dick
>"This is pretty impressive, Anon..." Eris says as she wraps her paw around it
>That's an understatement
>Your dick is the hardest it's ever been
>Truly, it is ready to pierce the heavens!
>But in this situation a sexy ass mare and horny Draconequus will have to do
>Eris give you a few quick tugs before she places her hand on Umbra's cheek
>"Look Umbra, here it is." Eris says "Why don't you go first?"
>Eris moves Umbra's head closer
>You can feel Umbra breathing on your dick before she starts sniffing it
>All the while Eris is still teasing you with these slow agonizing tugs
"God dammit..."
>If Umbra wasn't horny before, she is now!
>You got all sorts of juices coating your fingers now while some of it lands on your chest
>Suddenly you feel Umbra plant a kiss on the tip
>It was quick, but it throws you into a frenzy no less
>"There you go, Umbra..." Eris says "Let's just have a night of fun. Don't you want Anon to rut us until we can't feel?"
>Umbra doesn't answer at first
>"I... I... I do!" Umbra says "Oh please, my love, stop teasing me and just do it! Give your Queen the pleasure she so rightfully deserves!"
>That right there was the breaking point
"Of course, my Queen."
>Taking your fingers out you grab onto Umbra well toned flank before shoving your face right in there
>Umbra jumps and lets out another moan before taking your dick into her mouth
>"Well Anon, I think she's on board." Eris says "Especially with that outburst."
>You are not even paying attention to Eris at the moment
>Oh fuck, this feels amazing
>While Umbra's warm mouth is wrapped around you buddy, you're here trying to lick up as much mare juice as possible
>You can feel her work her tongue up and down your shaft
>Not only that, but she's grinding her marehood on your face
>As she winks at you, you assault that love button like your life depended on it
>Umbra pulls off of you and let's out a cry of pleasure before the dam finally breaks
 
>You're face is coated in Umbra juice , so much that it feels like you're getting waterboarded
>Umbra collapses on top of you, but you still feel something sucking you off
>Looking you see Eris bobbing her head up and down on your dick
"Oh Eris!"
>Oh fuck, her tongue is so much different than Umbra's
>So thin almost like a serpent
>It feels like it coiling around your dick and jacking it off so Eris can take the first load
>Shit, at this rate she'll have it!
>Looking down at Umbra she's still heaving
>Looking further down you see that she's still winking at you
>Poor girl still wants it
>No, she NEEDS it
>Moving your face close again you give her a few quick licks
>To clean her up of course
>Man, Umbra tastes good...
>If someone told you a long time ago that you would find mare juice delicious, you would most likely respond like a normal fag
>Eww or some shit like that
>Umbra whimpers and moans as she moves her head closer to Eris
>"E-Eris... He's my b-beloved~..." Umbra says between moans "Let me finish him off f-first..."
>Eris releases her hold on you before smiling at Umbra
>"Let's finish him off together~." Eris says
>You can't really see what's going on with Umbra's ass in your face, but holy hell you can feel it!
>Eris serpent like tongue on one side while Umbra's wonderful mare tongue takes the other side
>It's like they're sharing an ice cream cone
>Anon Jr. has no idea how to react to all this!
>He can only do one thing...
>[Anon's dick used Eruption!]
>Letting out a moan of ecstasy you completely empty yourself onto Umbra and Eris faces
>Umbra rises off of you and moves next to Eris so that you can get a better look at the show down south
>Looking at their faces you see that they're covered in your man jelly
>Eris licks her lips before looking at Umbra
>"Come here, Queenie." Eris says before she pulls Umbra in for another kiss
 
>Mother of Unf~!
>Unlike last time, Umbra doesn't refuse the kiss
>In fact she the aggressor this time around!
>Eris's eyes go wide before she moans into the kiss
>While the girls make out, you can only watch in awe as you sit up
>Umbra is pretty much forcing Eris back onto the bed
>When Umbra finally gets on top of Eris, they really start to go at it
>Eris runs her paws through Umbra's mane while her tail swishes around
>Each time they pull away from each other, they lick up some more cum off of the other's face
>[Anon used Quick Revive!]
>And just like that you were ready for round two
>The girls cease their make out session and look at you
>Eris whispers something into Umbra ear
>Umbra smiles at you and then nods at Eris
>Next thing you know you know, Eris place a finger onto your balls and dick before you feel something happen
>It felt like a small jolt of electricity just went through them
"W-What did you just do?"
>"Oh I just made it so that you can go all night." Eris says with a smile on her face "Like I said, you're going to rut us until we can't feel."
"Wait, say what?!"
>"My love, you're lucky that I'm not going through Estrus right now." Umbra says as she climbs over to your lap
>She takes a seat on you so that your manhood and her marehood are rubbing up against each other
>She stares deep into your eyes
>She may have scaring looking eyes, but god damn are they sexy
>Besides you can see a kind soul behind them
>"We would not stop until I felt full to burst or until I broke you." She says in a seductive voice "Which ever came first."
 
>Well so much for kind soul
>Still kinda hot...
>"Hey Umbra, what's that?" Eris asks
>You and Umbra look over to see what Eris is talking about before you see Sombra on the wall again
>"Not again!" Umbra says
"Jesus Christ Sombra! Do you want a good dicking too?!"
>No homo tho
>Sombra does his whole freak out on the wall routine
>Umbra laughs before looking back at you
>"Either my brother loves watching us make love or..." Umbra says as she lifts herself up
>"He want to stop me from doing this..." Umbra says as she lowers herself onto you "Which he'll never do!"
>You moan while Umbra hisses in pleasure
>"Oh yes!" Umbra cries as she bounces up and down on your dick "F-Fill me up, Anonymous!"
>U-Unf!
>Holy fuck it's hot in here tonight
>It feels like your dick is gonna be as red as her horn when you pull out
>You've notice that Sombra has left
>Good, it feels kinda awkward pound his sister in front of him
>"Aww I wanted to go first!" Eris says "Guess I'll just have to wait my turn..."
>You can't leave Eris out of this
>You wave to her
"E-Eris, come here."
>Eris smiles before crawling over to you
>When she reaches you, you both start to make out
>She brings her backside over to you so that you can see a pink slit
>When you stick a finger in there she starts to moan into your mouth
>Eris pulls away and smiles at you
>"Want to see something cool?" Eris says
>You raise an eyebrow at her before she reaches for Umbra's horn
 
>As she wraps her paw around Umbra's horn
>"E-Eris~!" Umbra cries out "Don't!
>Eris smiles as she begins to stroke her horn
>I-Is she giving her a horn job?
>That's a thing?
>Well fuck, how did you not know about this?
>"Have you ever wondered what magic taste like, Anon?" Eris asks before letting out small moan
>Just cause she stroking Umbra's horn off doesn't mean you'll stop fingering Eris
"Does it taste sweet?"
>Looking at Umbra's face she has her eyes screwed shut as she continues to ride you
>"You're about to find out!" Eris says
>You watch on as a purple glow surrounds Umbra horn
>Umbra cries out before her horn shoots out some weird ass purple jelly
>Some of it lands on your face
>Getting some with your fingers you lick it off
>It does taste sweet!
>Almost like grape jelly
>You need some more of this
>The entire time your doing this, Umbra has latched onto you burying her head into your neck as she rides you with wild abandonment
>Just then you feel that familer feeling rising up
>Shit, got to warn Umbra
"U-Umbra, here it comes..."
>"Give me all of it!" Umbra says as her inner muscles clamp down on your dick "Cum for me, my stallion!"
>That's new
>Your second orgasm rocks you as you let out another huge load into Umbra
>Umbra stops her bouncing as she shakes against you
>God damn it feel more intense
>Like that spell is making you shoot out a constant stream
>While you try to ride out your orgasm, Eris nips at your neck
>She's not helping!
>You both try to relax and compose yourselves
>It's only now that you realize your dick isn't going flaccid
>"My turn!" Eris says as she pulls Umbra off you and puts her to the side
 
>Oh shit already?!
>Not even a short coffee break?!
>And how is she just gonna pull Umbra off you and toss her to the side?!
>Umbra plops down on the bed while Eris positions herself above you
>"I've been waiting for this for a long time!" Eris says
>Looking into those lust crazed eyes of her's, you see that she has heart shaped pupils
>Well it's not the strangest thing you've seen
>As she lowers herself onto you she let's out short giggles
>"So... Big..." Eris says
>Well she is as thin as a pole so it's not that hard
>You feel her tail wrap around your leg
>As she gets settled on you, she gives you a quick kiss
>"I haven't done this in a long time." Eris says "So we're gonna start slow."
>You nod your head and Eris starts to rise and fall on your dick
>While she does you see Umbra crawl over to you
>As she sits next it doesn't take long for her to plant her lips on yours
>While you make out with Umbra, Eris begins to pick up the pace
>What the fuck is up with her insides?
>Yeah it hot and soft in here, but...
>It feels like her insides are massage your dick in such a methodical way
>Like it's goal is to milk your baby batter out of you
>Whatever it is it feels amazing on your dick
>You let out another moan, before Umbra giggles
>"You seem to be enjoying this." Umbra says "I hope you're not preferring her over me."
>You smile
"O-Oh course not Umbra~." You say "You're still the beST!"
>Eris's walls tighten on you
>That muscle control!
>It takes all your willpower not to let go right there
>"What was that, Anon?" Eris asks a smirk on her face "Were you about to lie?"
>Damn her!
>Pushing her onto her back you take control of the situation
>The only way you know how
 
>Grabbing her hips you mercilessly pound into Eris
"You like thinking you're all high and mighty?! Huh?!"
>Eris's eyes go wide as she nods her head
>As you go on the offensive Eris begins to moan
>"Oh you animal~!" Eris says "Dominate me, please~!"
>Damn right your gonna dominate her!
>Eris puts her hands behind your back as she tries to claw you
>After all the teasing she's been doing to you and Umbra?!
>Her tail unwraps from your leg as she uses it to slap your ass
>You don't care if she's a Spirit of Chaos!
>"Oh Anon~! Eris cries "I've been such a bad girl! Punish me~!"
>You are going to fuck her into behaving!
>While you continue to fuck the shit out of Eris, Umbra comes around and stands above Eris
>"Well, Eris? Is this what you wanted?" Umbra asks as she gets in her face "To be put in your place?!"
>You give Umbra a quick slap on the ass because lol
>Umbra jumps before turning around to face you
>"You naughty boy!" Umbra says with a smile "I'm trying to yell at her."
>Umbra's horn lights up and you see a collar form around Eris's neck
>"Here." Umbra says passing you the string "Pull it."
>You do as she says and pull
>This causes Eris's face to get pressed against Umbra's marehood
>"Get licking." Umbra says "Or I'll tell Anonymous to stop."
>Not a moment later Umbra moans
>"Good girl~..." Umbra says "Finally listening to me."
>That's kinda hot, Umbra getting all dominant
>"And you~..." Umbra says as she places her fore legs on your shoulders "Hurry up and finish with her, I'm ready for another go."
 
>And with that you fucked Eris silly
>After feeling what you assume was her orgasm, you and Umbra got off her to see your fine teamwork
>Eris is panting, her tongue hanging out of her mouth, while some of your baby batter is leaking out
>The fur around her face is soaked due to Umbra
>"Just... Give me... A minute." Eris says as she tries to compose herself "I'll get you... Back, Umbra..."
>Umbra smiles
>Turning to Umbra, you throw her back onto Eris before taking her from behind
>And that's how the night continued thanks to the damn spell Eris put on your dick
>Switching from rutting Umbra to rutting Eris
>There were even time we you had both at once
>You went at it like rabbits for the entire night
>As the sun begins to illuminate the room you realize how long you've been at this
>"Anon! Don't stop!" Eris moans "I'm so close!"
>As the sweat drips from your head, Eris cries out in pleasure before her juices gets sprayed all over your thighs
>Pulling out of Eris you quickly stick it back into Umbra who is laying besides her
>It doesn't take long until Umbra cries out
>"Oh~! My love!" Umbra yells "I'm coming!!!"
>And so are you!
>With one final thrust you hilt into Umbra before firing one last load
>And you know it's your last load because your dick immediately goes flaccid afterwards
>Mare juice mixes with Draconequus juice as she sprays it all over your thighs and abdomen
>Pulling out of Umbra you collapse between the two girls
>Crawling up to your pillow you rest your head on it
>Umbra and Eris quickly join you as they snuggle up to you
>"That was fun..." Umbra says as she tries to catch her breath
>"We should... Do it again, sometime." Eris chimes in
>Damn you're tired
>As you begin to close your eyes you hear the door open
>"Lady Umbra! The guards are being nasty!" Ariadne says "Their things are-"
>She stops as she sees the mess in the middle of the room
>You see her almost gag before she runs out of the room
>Maybe you should clean
>When you wake up
 
>You are Canon Umbra
>It's been some time since your tender moment with Eris
>After that moment with Eris, you went back to your room to grab your brothers journal
>You figured you'd read it while the day goes on
>Along the way you showed Eris where you would put her room
>It would be between yours and Sombra's room
>Eris herself played with a strange cube that had different colors on it
>Anyway, back to the journal
>...
>Your brother really had some problems
>You're just really happy that Sombra has returned to his old self
>You got to the part where it seemed like your brother was beginning to change before stopping for the day
>Your stomach rumbles and you look over to Eris
"Let's go get something to eat, Eris."
>You see Eris smile and nod before she tosses the cube behind her
>Heading downstairs, you and Eris head to the dinning room
>After grabbing a nice steak dinner and some ice cream you decide to head back to your room
>Anonymous should have returned
>Right?
>Edith gives you a tray with a piece of steak on it and a fruit cup for Anonymous
>Eris carries it and you both head back out to the main hall
>Making your way over to the stairs you see Credo coming down from them
>"Good evening, Queen Umbra!" Credo says "How goes your day?"
"It's going well." You say "Credo, why were you upstairs?"
>"I had to take Anon back to your room!" Credo says "The poor bastard couldn't even crawl off the training ground."
 
"What happened?!"
>That idiot better not have re-injured them!
>"Don't worry, Lady Umbra!" Credo says before letting out a hearty laugh "Anon is fine! He's just exhausted."
>You let out a sigh of relief
>That's good
>You were afraid that you were going to have to have a talk with Arthas
>You shake your head before looking at Credo
"How bad was it?"
>"Looked pretty bad." Credo says "They lot of them were all laying on the ground, while Arthas was reclaiming his practice sword."
>Credo smiles
>"None of them could get up." Credo says "Anon and Biggs tried before they collapsed again."
>Those two will always try their hardest no matter what
>"I went out to see if Arthas needed any help." Credo says "It's only as I got close that I heard Arthas say, I'm proud of you all."
>Now you wonder what happened
>He doesn't say that to just anypony
>"When I got out there, Arthas asked if I could help him find someponies to help get the boys home." Credo says "We got Ariadne to take Lance home."
>You see Credo begin to think
>"We asked Biggs if he knew a pony that could help get him home and he told us to send a letter to a mare named Eliza." Credo says "A few minutes after that, the cute mare showed up and took him."
"What about Wedge?"
>"Arthas took him home." Credo says "Leaving Anonymous last."
>"Since only you, me, and Arthas could carry him on our own I took him upstairs." Credo says
"Thank you, Credo." You say bowing at him "I need to go to him now."
>"Aye, enjoy yer evening, Lady Umbra." Credo says before looking to Eris "And you, miss...?"
>"Eris." Eris says
>Credo nods goodbye to you before he heads off
>Not wasting anymore time, you head upstairs
 
>Rushing up the stairs, Eris follows right behind you
>"He was a big pony." Eris says "What does he do?"
"He's the royal blacksmith." You say "He makes the armor for everypony."
>"Even yours?" Eris asks
"In a way, Credo made the armor and Rodin enchanted it."
>You feel like those two could get along, but they're too stubborn to try
>When you reach the top of the stairs you hurry down the hall towards your room
>Coming up to the doors, your guards salute you
>"He's inside, my Queen." One says "Sounds like he was throwing things around."
>Opening the door you see Anonymous on his feet
>Only momentarily though as he collapses again on his knees
"Anonymous!"
>His sword is on the floor as are his boots and gloves
>While you run over to him, Eris closes the door behind you
>As Anonymous slowly tries to get up you use your magic to lift him onto the bed
"You idiot! Are you trying to hurt yourself?!"
>As you lay his head down, he weakly chuckles
>"This armor is making it difficult to relax." He says "I was only trying to take it off."
>You sigh
"You could have waited for me." You say "Here, I'll help you."
>"You said not to wait up for you." Anonymous says "Remember?"
>You shoot a glare over to Eris who only smiles
>Getting up on the bed you sit next to him
 
>Looking upon his face you see a few bruise and scratches
>He must have been making out with floor more than he does with you
>"Umbra, I'm fine." Anonymous says "I can tell you're staring."
>You smile before planting a kiss on his cheek
"Eris, can you go get me the bandages and medicine from the bathroom?" You ask "They're in the second drawer under the mirror."
>Eris nods her head before floating over to the bathroom
>"Oh come on!" Anonymous says as he tries to throw his arm up in protest "I told you I'm fin-"
>You silence him by placing a hoof on his lips
"Shush. I'm going to treat these wounds and you are going to sit there and behave like a good little human."
>Anonymous rolls his eyes causing you to laugh
"Let's get this armor off."
>You horn lights up as does Anonymous's armor
"So how did you end up in this state?" You ask "Here, lift your arms."
>"Arthas asked us to fight him." Anonymous says as he slowly starts to lift his arms "He wanted to see how well our teamwork was."
>Lifting the armor over his head and placing it to the side, you get a look at his well toned body
>There are also a few bruises on his chest and abdomen
>"Are you ogling me again, Umbra?" Anonymous asks
>You look him the eyes
"I'm looking at how much damage Arthas did!" You say "Anyway, continue..."
>Anonymous smiles
>"We were able to disarm him somehow." Anonymous says "But we did not factor in pony CQC. He ended up judo flipping Biggs into me."
>Anonymous sighs
>"After that, me and Biggs tried to get up, but we couldn't." He says "We were spent."
>You give him another quick kiss
"Arthas is a very skilled warrior, even without his sword he can still be dangerous." You say "Still, you should all feel proud of yourselves for at least getting his weapon away from him."
>Eris finally returns and hands you the things you asked for
>"So how did your day go?" He asks "I'm sure you two had fun."
 
>You nod your head as you begin to place the medicine onto the bandages
"We actually did, surprisingly." You say "I was expecting to come back home with a headache."
>Anonymous chuckles
>"That good, I was kinda worried, to be honest." Anonymous says
>"Umbra showed me how much everything has changed!" Eris says "We went all over and she told me stories about how everything came to be!"
>Applying a bandage to one of Anonymous's scratches, he winces in pain before yelling out "Ow!"
"Oh, calm down, you're okay." You say before giving him a kiss "Anyway we also went to go see Seth and to schedule a surprise for you and the boys."
>"Is it a party?" Anonymous asks
>You nod your head
"In three days, so don't worry about for now."
>A smile forms on his face as you place another bandage
>"What'd did you get at Seth's" Anonymous asks
"Something." You say with a smile "You'll see in time, my love."
>As you continue to treat Anonymous, Eris continues
>"She also showed me something I needed to see." Eris says "But is was a fun day despite there being no chaos."
>You look over and smile at Eris
>"I offered Umbra something in return." Eris says "But she is thinking on it right now."
>Eris don't you dare say anything
>Anonymous look over to you
>"What was it?" Anonymous asks
>You feel your face get warm
"U-Uh, it was nothing important..."
>Anonymous tries to press you, but before he can
>"Hey Anon can I ask you something?" Eris asks
>"Yeah shoot." Anonymous says
>"What does a human female look like?" Eris asks
 
>Dammit Eris, not now!
>You accidentally slap a bandage onto Anonymous's chest when Eris asks that
>"Ouch! Umbra!" Anonymous says "Give a guy a warning next time!"
>You look down at the bandage before looking at him
"I-I'm sorry, Anonymous!"
>Anonymous moves closer to you
>"You okay, Umbra?" Anonymous asks "Your face is all flushed."
>Damn you for wanting to try this!
>You nervously nod your head
>Anonymous only raises an eyebrow before looking back to Eris
>"Why do you want to know that?" Anonymous asks
>Eris shrugs
>"Just for curiosity sake." Eris says "So what do they look like?"
>You can look only back and forth to them in silence as you continue to bandage up Anonymous
>Will Anonymous really tell her?
>Anonymous doesn't look like he's buying it
>"Nah, I don't believe you." Anonymous says "What's the real reason?"
>"That is the real reason!" Eris says with an innocent smile "What do you think I'm gonna do?"
>"I feel like you're going to turn into a human and try to seduce me!" Anonymous says "It's not going to work!"
>Anonymous somehow wraps an arm around you before pulling you into his chest
>You can hear his steady heartbeat
>"Umbra is the only girl for me!" Anonymous says "My will is not so easily broken!"
>You blush
>Eris giggles
>"Oh come on, Anonymous!" Eris says "I would never do something so evil, I would just tease you. Unless Umbra said it was okay."
>You growl at her
>"You want me tell her, Umbra?" Anonymous asks "It's up to you."
>You look up to him
"I-I'd like to know, as well"
 
>Anonymous stares at you for a moment
>He doesn't suspect anything, r-right?
>If you do this, you want it to be a surprise for him
>He nods his head before looking back to Eris
>"Females pretty much are the same as males, anatomy wise." Anonymous says "The only difference is that most are slimier than males."
>You see him move his hands in a strange way like he's trying to show the shape of a female
>"Private parts would be in the same area, between the legs." He says "Human females don't have a... You know, like I do. Like stallions and mares"
>Well of course, how else would his species reproduce?
>"Does the female's look the same as a mare's?" Eris asks
>Anonymous clears his throat before shaking his head
>"It's more like a slit." He says
>"Interesting..." Eris says looking at you
>You can tell that she enjoys watching you squirm
>Anonymous reaches down and touches your nips
>You jump and grab his hands
"A-Anonymous!?"
>"And these babies would go up here." Anonymous says as he places his hands on his chest "They can be in between the of flat to enormous."
>"Which you prefer?" Eris asks
>You bite your lip
>Anonymous opens his mouth before looking at you
>"S-Should I tell her?" He asks
>This feel so strange!
>Eris is practically making a list in her head of what Anonymous prefers just so she can apply it to you
>Curiosity is not your friend today
>You nod your head again
>"Um, I like modest size ones." He says with a blush on his face before looking at Eris
>Eris smiles before climbing onto the bed
>"Thank you, Anon." Eris says as she rests at the foot of the bed "You've satisfied my curiosity."
 
>Thank goodness
>As Eris lays her head down, Anonymous looks over to you
>"That's it?" He whispers to you "Umbra, I don't like it."
>You chuckle at him before looking at Eris
"Eris, how come you're sleeping down there?"
>"I thought I give you a break tonight, after what you did for me." Eris says turning her head to face you "I can have my snuggles from Anon some other night."
>You smile before turning to Anonymous
"Let me get ready for bed."
>He nods his head and you get up
>While you begin to undress you hear Eris speak up
>"So Anon, we saw you and your friends running around the empire." Eris says "What was that about?"
>You begin to take your armor off
>"Oh it was just this training regime Arthas put me on." Anonymous says "One hundred push ups, one hundred sit ups, one hundred squats and a ten kilometer run around the empire."
>That doesn't sound too bad
>As you place your armor away you walk over to your nightstand
>Removing your crown, you shake your mane loose before placing it onto it's stand
>"I can never get over how beautiful you look without your armor on." Anonymous says
>You blush before getting into bed next to him
>Using your magic you extinguish the candles
>Now only the moonlight illuminates your room
>As you and Anonymous start to snuggle up to one another, Anonymous lets out a yawn
"Rest, my love." You say planting a kiss on his head "We have a big day tomorrow."
>He returns the kiss back before falling asleep
"Goodnight, Anonymous." You say "And goodnight Eris."
>"Goodnight, Umbra." You hear Eris say before you close your eyes
>Now for some well needed rest
 
>You are Eris
>And you think it's safe for you to get up now
>It's been about an hour since Anon and Umbra went to sleep
>Opening your eyes you slowly turn to look at the lovebirds
>Aw that's cute
>Umbra has her head buried into Anonymous's chest while his arms are wrapped around her
>How has she not stabbed him with her horn yet?
>Maybe they're just so used to sleeping like that
>You wish he'd hold you like that...
>Whatever you're not awake to spy on them
>You slowly rise up into the air before floating over to the door
>You slowly open it so you don't disturb the lovers before slipping out
>Shutting the door behind you, you look at her guards
"Umbra and her boy toy keep kicking me in the head so I thought I'd walk around for a bit."
>The guards nod and you continue on down the hall
>This castle has changed so much in the time you've been away
>It looks way more regal than it used to
>Coming to your destination you place you paw on the doorknob
>Turning the doorknob you enter Anonymous's old room
>As you close the door behind you, you look around
>It's pretty empty in here
>All there is, is a bed and a table with a sword on it
>Huh this sword has Princess Celestia's cutie mark on it
>Your ears perk up as you hear something swooshing about
>Looking at the darkest corner of the room, you see a set of eyes appear from the shadows
>That must be her brother
 
>So he really doesn't have a body?
>Okay maybe this can work
>You wave at the shadow
"Hi!"
>The shadow continues to stares at you
>Not one for talking?
>Well that's great
"Um, I'm Eris." You say "I'm the one your sister woke up."
>The fact that he doesn't do anything kinda bugs you
"You must be Sombra." You say "Umbra has told me so much about you."
>When you first got here she would tell you stories about him
>It's a shame he wasn't here when you got here
>You still don't know what he looks like
"Now I know what you're thinking..." You say "What is this cute Draconequus doing in my room?"
>You smile before moving closer to him
"I'm here to help you!"
>His eyes widen
>Is that a good sign?
>Suddenly you see a purple haze form from the shadow as it makes it's way over to your head
>Oh, he's trying to talk to you
>As the haze envelopes your head, you can only hear his voice
>"How can you help me?" Sombra says
 
>Helloooo!
>He has a pretty attractive sounding voice
>You can't see him though
>Maybe he's just shy?
>You smile before conjuring some magic with your finger
>The magic takes the shape of a ball and you spin it around on your finger
"You need magic to reform your body right?" You ask "The only thing is that you gave most of it to Anon so he could use it to protect your sister."
>"What are you getting at?" Sombra asks
"I was thinking I could shove this ball of magic in you." You say "And then with this magic you could get your body back in about a day or two."
>His eyes widen
>Looks like you got him
>Heh, this was easier then you thought
>"What's that catch?" Sombra asks
"No catch. Just take this and come back to your sister."
>"Do not play games with me, trickster!" Sombra says "We don't even know each other, why would you help me?"
>You smile before tossing the ball around
"I owe Umbra a huge debt." You say "I know she unsealed me because she need help with Discord, but after today? I just want to make her happy."
>You hold out the orb
"And what better way then to bring back her brother."
>Sombra stares at you for a moment before looking at the orb
>"Are you sure there's no catch?" Sombra asks
"I swear on my honor."
>He takes one last look at it before speaking up
>"Go ahead then, give it to me." Sombra says
 
>That sounded so funny
>You smile before moving closer to him
"Do I just shove it in your shadow form?"
>"Yes." Sombra says
>As you're about to put it in him you look him in the eyes
"I forgot to mention that when it does happen, the reconstructing your body, It's going to hurt. Bad."
>His eyes go wide and you shove the orb into him
"But anything for your sister, right?"
>Sombra closes his eyes and you watch on as his shadow eats up the orb
>"I can handle it." Sombra says "I have to, for her."
>You can't wait to see them reunite in person
>It should be cute
>"This magic... It's so powerful." Sombra says
"Aw shucks, you're gonna make me blush."
>When his shadow form finally consumes the ball, Sombra opens his eyes
>"Thank you, Eris." Sombra says "I look forward to shaking your paw when I get my body back."
>You smile before the purple haze is lifted from your eyes
"No problem, Sombra." You say as you turn to leave the room "See you soon."
>Heading towards the doors you open them before returning to the hallway
>As you walk back to Umbra and Anon's room you start thinking about Umbra and Sombra
>Those two siblings will be reunited soon
>And in a way you will be reunited with your sibling
>You just hope he will be happy to see you and that he doesn't try to act like a idiot
>Otherwise you're going to have to put him in a headlock
>The only thing is...
>A part of you is worried though that he may have surpassed you since you've been asleep
>When you return to the room you hover over to the bed
>Now those two are spooning with Anon as the big spoon
>These two are still cute
>Anon's hands are resting on Umbra's stomach and Umbra has her hooves placed on his hands
>Laying back down you let out a quiet yawn before falling asleep
 
>You are Anon
>And you still feel sore as fuck
>You knew Arthas was going to push you guys to the breaking point, but god damn!
>You had passed out on Credo while he was carrying you upstairs
>Arthas better not try to get you guys to work like that again today
>Opening your eyes all you see is black
>That doesn't seem right
>Moving your face around you realize your face is buried in your marefriend's mane
>Umbra's mane is really great at blocking out the morning light
>Way better than Celestia's mane
>Nuzzling your face into her mane, you let out a relaxed sigh
>You hear and feel Umbra giggle against you
>She already awake it seems
>"I see all my hard work with my mane is paying off." Umbra says "Although, I never thought my mane would be used as a pillow for my stallion."
>You hold her tighter
"So soft..." You mumble out "Like a dream."
>Umbra begins to shift around so that she's facing you
>You pout as the warm embrace of her mane leaves you
>Those hypnotic eyes that you've come to love, meet your gaze instead
>"Good morning, Anonymous." Umbra says, a smile etched on her face
"Morning, Umbra."
>The two of you share a tender kiss before she pulls away
>"Are you ready for today?" Umbra asks her voice taking a more serious tone
>Here we go
"What's going on?"
>"We deal with Alastor today." Umbra says "It's time to administer his punishment."
 
>Oh yeah
>Dammit, you were starting to forget about him
>Rubbing some of the sleep away with your hand, you let out a yawn
"You want us to come along?"
>Umbra nods
>"Of course, I feel that you four need to be there." Umbra says "It's only right."
>After what he did to you all?
>You just hope Lance doesn't try to break Alastor's horn off
>You might have to hold him back though... Eventually
"So when do we go?"
>"After breakfast." Umbra says "Arthas is going to fetch your friends again."
>You scratch the top of your head
"Alright, it should be interesting." You say "I'm just not sure we can hold Lance or Biggs back."
>Umbra chuckles
>Looking around, you don't see Eris at all
>That's not a good sign
"Where's Eris?"
>Umbra's horn lights up
>Umbra levitates a note over to you
"You and Anon are taking too long to wake up." The note says "See you two downstairs."
>Impatient much?
>"Anonymous, can I ask you something?" Umbra asks
"Of course."
>"Did you hear somepony leave the room last night?" Umbra asks
 
>What?
>You didn't hear anything besides Umbra's gentle snoring
>Which was strange on its own
>You shake your head
"Can't say that I did."
>You were knocked out last night
>Celestia could have invaded the empire and you wouldn't have woken up
"All I remember is cuddling up with you."
>Umbra smiles before thinking to herself
>"I suppose it could have been my imagination." Umbra says "I was also a bit exhausted yesterday."
>You chuckle before planting a kiss on her head
>She smiles before nuzzling into you again
>"We could get dressed, but I prefer to stay like this for a little bit longer." Umbra says "At least until Ariadne shows up."
"Then that's what we'll do."
>Wrapping your arms around her, she uses her magic to pull the blanket up over you two
>About an hour of cuddling, kissing, and talking happens before you hear the knock at the door
>Man this bed is like a trap
>You never want to get up from it
>Unfortunately you have to now
"Well, Umbra. Looks like we have to get up now."
>Umbra sighs before calling out
>"Come in!" Umbra says
>As the doors open and Ariadne trots in, you and Umbra get out of bed to get dressed
>After getting all ready for the day, you all head out to the main hall
 
>When you get to the dining room, you walk in to see Eris tearing through a tower of pancakes
>That is too much syrup
>"Eris, dear, you really should slow down." Edith says as she watches on "You're going to get a stomach ache if you eat that fast."
>"Wait, really?!" Eris says
>She is like a child
>That looks like it gets through to Eris and she slows down
>"There, that wasn't so hard was it?" Edith asks before looking over in your direction "Ah! Lady Umbra and Anon have arrived."
>Eris turns and waves at you and Umbra
>Walking over to the table you take your seats
>After telling Edith what you wanted she heads off to the kitchen
>"You two take forever to wake up." Eris says as she shove her fork into her mouth
>You look over to her
"Sorry, Eris, but some of us haven't been asleep for ages." You say "And beside I needed the sleep."
>"He's right, Eris." Umbra says "I don't even know how you been able to fell asleep recently."
>Eris shrugs before swallowing the food in her mouth
>You look over to Umbra before shaking your head
>"So what on the agenda for today?" Eris asks
>"We're dealing with somepony today." Umbra says "Remember the one I told you about?"
>"The one that hurt Anon and his friends?" Eris asks
>Hurt is an understatement
>Umbra nods her head
>"Can I come along?" Eris asks
 
>Umbra looks over at you
>"We should wait and see if the boys want her to tag along." Umbra says
>You nod your head
<Umbra right
>You should wait and ask your friends
>You don't know if the guys want anymore company
"We'll see, Eris." You say "For now I just want to eat my breakfast."
>Eris shrugs before summoning a glass of chocolate milk
>"All I'm saying is that I could help you guys get back at him for what he did to you and your friends." Eris says "Do you know if he's afraid of anything?"
>Anything that's not a pony
>You chuckle
"Bastard's probably afraid of me running the empire by Umbra's side." You say "He hates the idea of us together."
>Eris smiles before looking over to Umbra
>"Is he one of THOSE stallions?" Eris asks
>Umbra nods her head
>"The type that think I'm theirs and that I'm just waiting to be claimed by them?" Umbra says "Yes he's just like them."
>Eris begins to giggle before looking at you
>"I think I have something that can break him." Eris says
>You wonder what she could have planned
>Nah you don't want to know
>After sometime passes, Edith returns with your breakfast in tow
 
>You are so happy they have meat here
>Eggs and sausage with some toast and a side of fruit
>A man's gotta eat
>And some fresh squeezed orange juiced
>Umbra got the same thing as you
>While you and Umbra ate, Eris was finishing up on her breakfast
>"I guess some things never change" Eris says "Even after all this time, you still have ponies acting like you're theirs."
>You take a drink of your orange juice
>"It is annoying." Umbra says "You think it'd stop after they've seen me with Anonymous."
>You guess some of these ponies still think they can still take Umbra from you
>"Alastor is the worst of them." Umbra says "Even when he was in prison he still talked about taking me from Anonymous."
>Eris looks over to you
>Bet that made you angry, huh?" Eris asks
>You nod your head
"I won't lie, I always want to wring his neck when he talks to Umbra like that."
>Hopefully today is the last you hear from him
>After finishing up your breakfast you, Umbra, and Eris headed out to the main hall
>Upon entering the room you see your friends and Arthas coming in
 
>As they all file in, Wedge closes the door behind them
>Jesus, Biggs and Lance look like they're about to break down in exhaustion
>"Hey Anon." Lance says before yawning "How are you holding up?"
"A little bit sore, but I'm feeling alright."
>"I little sore?" Biggs asks before rubbing his neck "Humans must heal faster than ponies."
>You chuckle
>You see Arthas walk up to Umbra
>"I brought them as you requested." Arthas says "We would have been here sooner, but they were all sleeping in."
>With good reason
>"I understand, Arthas." Umbra says
>She smiles and walks over to your friends
>"Good morning, boys!" Umbra says "How are you all this morning?"
>"Tired." Biggs says
>"And sore." Lance says
>You look over to Wedge to see if he'll add on
>But when you do see him, he looks okay
>He see you staring at him and smiles
>"Warm baths help with the soreness." Wedge says "That and a good nights sleep."
>He's always different than Biggs and Lance
>"So, Queen Umbra, Arthas said we were going to do something important today." Wedge says "What are we doing?"
>"Well I thought you boys would want to come along for this." Umbra says "We're going to see Alastor today."
 
>All their ears perk up
>"Wait, we are?" Lance asks
>Umbra nods her head
>"It's time he answers for his crimes." Umbra says "I wanted to bring you all along because I felt it was only right."
>"None of you have to come if you don't want to." Arthas says "We just thought after what he did to you..."
>"Well what are we waiting for?" Lance says "Let's get going!"
>Yup there he goes
>"Oh boy, Lance is gonna lose isn't he?" Wedge asks
>"Let him." Biggs says "After what Alastor did to his wings, he's allowed to."
>You see Eris slink her way in
>"Can I come along?" Eris asks "I heard what happened and I think I can-"
>"Of course you can come along!" Lance says, interrupting her "I think I might need your help!"
>Help with torture?
>Eris smiles before Lance flies up
>"Hey Eris can I ask you something?" Lance asks "Did you give my sister a bag full of candy and cookies?"
>Eris nods her head
>"That's not an issue is it?" Eris asks
>Lance shakes his head
>"Nah, she was just super hyper when I got home." Lance says "She thinks you're really cool for that."
>Eris looks surprised before smiling
>"Can we get going, Queen Umbra?" Lance asks
>Damn he sounds like an impatient child right now
>Umbra chuckles before nodding her head
>"Very well. Big Bull is waiting for us anyway" She says as she head over to the door "Let's get going everypony."
>Slipping on your jacket you all head out
 
>As you step out onto the crystal streets you follow behind Umbra as she leads the way
>While she walks, she talks with Arthas while Eris floats beside her
>Your friends are also talking to each other, but you still try to listen in on Umbra and Arthas
>"So... Is it going to be an execution?" Arthas asks
>That was fast
>You see Umbra sigh
>"I don't know, Arthas." Umbra says "Do you realize how long it's been since I've had to preform an execution? The last time was when your great, great, great grandmother was my head captain."
>"My Queen, if it bothers you that much I can be the one to preform the execution." Arthas says "I have no problem doing it."
>He just sounds cold when he says that
>"No, it's my responsibility as the Queen to issue the punishment." Umbra says "That is if we go through with it."
>What else could she sentence him to?
>The only thing you can think of is a punishment that involves Big Bull
>You start to remember what Big Bull was trying to till you when he first told you about Alastor
>Yuck
>"Anon!" Lance calls out to you
>You shake your head and look over to your friends
"What's up?"
>"I could ask you the same thing." Lance says "You were just staring off into space."
>"Maybe he's still tired." Biggs says "I know I am."
>"What did you not get your coffee from Eliza today?" Wedge asks
>"You know damn well I didn't." Biggs says
>"Maybe that's why you're grumpy." Lance says "You didn't get to see your not marefriend today."
>Biggs glares at him before taking a deep breath
>"Not now, Biggs." He says to himself "Later."
>Continuing on you start to wonder where the hell your going
>It looks like your heading back to the dungeon
 
"Hey Umbra what and where is this place anyway?"
>Umbra looks back to you
>"The Wolves Cell is located in the dungeon, but it's a bit more complex than that." Umbra says "Only Arthas, Big Bull, and myself are able to get in there."
>Oh okay
>So that eliminates the threat of any of his lackeys trying to help him
>"So what are we gonna do when we get there?" Wedge asks
>"We're going to give him another short trial." Arthas says "Extremely short before Queen Umbra renders her verdict."
>You see Lance fly up next to him
>"Can we get a minute with him?" Lance asks "Please?"
>Arthas looks over to him
>"I suppose we'll allow it." Arthas says "We wanted to bring you all along so you could talk to him one last time."
>"After that I want you four to forget about him." Umbra says
>Yeah, a simple talk
>As long as Alastor doesn't say anything to set you off, you should be fine
>Which he probably will say something to you so that's not gonna work
>Wedge should be fine though out of all of you
>He can keep a cool head
>But Lance and Biggs?
>They'll probably have something to say
>Continuing on you find yourself approaching the dungeon
>The guard ponies manning the tower yell out to someone
>As you all get closer you see the gate beginning to rise
>And behind it you see Big Bull waiting for you
 
>"Queen Umbra, welcome!" Big Bull yells out
>"Huh. You even have a minotaur here now." Eris says
>"Along with two griffons and a Diamond Dog." Umbra says
>You still haven't met that last one
>As you approach the gates he waves to you all
>As you get closer, you see his eyes fixed on Eris
>That look on his face just screams "What the hell is that?"
>"Good morning, Big Bull." Umbra says "I take it you're ready for today?"
>Big Bull sighs before nodding his head
>"I am." He says "Here, let's get going."
>He turns around and heads back to the dungeon and you all follow him
>"I see you brought company with you!" He says looking back to you and your friends "It's good to see you all again!"
"Hey Big Bull." You say "How have things been?"
>"Good!" He says "The prisoners have been behaving themselves ever since you and your friends 'cleaned out' the third cell block."
>"Sorry about that." Wedge says
>Big Bull laughs
>"Don't be." Big Bull says "If anything I should be apologizing to you four, for what happened to you all."
>"Eh, it's what we do." Biggs says "Besides we're all healed up now."
>Continuing on, you all follow him into the dungeon
>Entering the building itself you follow Big Bull to his office
>He walks over to his desk before taking a seat
>"So Queen Umbra, what are you going to do to Alastor?" Big Bull asks as he rummages through his desk
>You look over to Umbra
>She still looks like she doesn't even know
>Maybe since all that time since the last execution happened, she just doesn't want to go back to that
>"I'm not sure." Umbra says "I'm still debating on it."
>"Well if I may..." Big Bull says "I don't think an execution is the right way to go."
 
>The room is silent
>"What did you just say?" Arthas asks before stepping forward "Did I just hear you right?"
>Arthas does not sound to pleased
>Looking over to Big Bull he has his eyes closed
>"You did." Big Bull says "I don't think he should die."
>Arthas walks up to his desk before slamming his hoofs down on it
>"How could you even suggest a thing?!" Arthas yells "Have you forgotten everything he's done!?"
>Big Bull remains silent
>"Not only was he running an organization that was bent on running out non ponies." Arthas says "But he took over the dungeon, held guard ponies hostage for his freedom THEN when I sent these four in, he beat and tortured two of them!"
>Arthas slams his hoof down again
>"And one of them just happened to be Queen Umbra's lover!" Arthas yells "Did you forget how she reacted when Anonymous came stumbling out of the dungeon!?"
>Damn, You've never seen Arthas go off like this
>He just looks so fucking pissed
>"He needs to pay for his crimes." Arthas says "He's a traitor to the empire and it's Queen!"
>Looking around you see everyone is just looking at the scene in front of them with nervous expressions
>Except Eris, who looks like she's enjoying the show in front of her
>Looking over to Umbra, you see her staring at you with a sadden expression on her face
>Walking over to her you kneel down in front of her
"What's the matter." You whisper
>Umbra nuzzles her cheek against yours
>"I just thought back to that day." She whispers back "You had me scared that day, you idiot."
>You give her a hug
>What sucks is that you told her you would have been fine that day
>Looking back to Arthas and Big Bull, you hear Umbra speak up
>"Arthas, calm down." Umbra says before looking to Big Bull "And Bull, why don't you think an execution is the way to go?"
>Arthas gets off the desk before Bull opens his eyes
>"I don't it's a good idea because it feels like that's what he wants." Big Bull says "He want's the easy way out."
 
>You stand up
>"So what if that's what he wants?" Lance asks "Let's give him what he wants then!"
>Well you know where Lance stands on this
>And Arthas too
>"You would rather see him executed than kept alive to suffer for his crimes?" Big Bull asks
>Lance nods
>"After what he did to my wings and everything he put us through? Yes." Lance says
>Pegasi must really value their wings
>"Lance, settle down, please." Umbra says
>Lance looks back to her before nodding his head
>As he steps away he walks up besides Arthas before Umbra steps forward
>"So what do you suggest we do?" Umbra asks "It's obvious you don't want him to die."
>"I suggest that we bring him to the brink of death. Without killing him of course." Big Bull says "Break him, in both mind and body."
>It sounds like an interesting idea
>But then why not kill him afterwards?
>"You're saying I should reduce him to a shell of a stallion?" Umbra says "Then what?"
>"Just leave him with me." Big Bull says "I could have some uses for him."
>Yuck
>"I don't know..." Umbra says
>Umbra looks like shes actually contemplating it
>You could tell she felt uneasy about the execution
>But she also knows that it's the ultimate punishment that he deserves
>"In any case we should go to him. We can discus it there" Umbra says looking back to Arthas and Bull "Do either of you have your key?"
>Bull reaches into his desk and pulls out a key made of crystal
>He gets up from his desk and heads towards the door
>"Come on, everypony." Umbra says
>As everyone follows Big Bull, Umbra looks over to you
>"It's a good thing you brought your coat." Umbra says "It's going to get really cold soon."
"Really? It doesn't feel too cold today."
>Umbra smiles at you before you notice that you're approaching a wall with a doorway leading nowhere
>In the center of the wall is a keyhole
 
>This is weird
>There's no door just a keyhole on the wall
>Watching on you see Big Bull insert the key into the hole
>As soon as he turns the key a purple portal forms on the wall
>"Oh portals!" Eris says "I see now, Alastor isn't even in the empire is he?"
>Wat?
>You look over to Umbra
>Umbra only smiles
>"Just step in the portal and you'll see." Umbra says "It's quite a sight."
>First Big Bull steps in
>Then Arthas and your friends
>And now you, Umbra, and Eris
>Walking into the portal, you're blinded by a purple light
>It last only for an instant as the light disappears
>The sound of wind howling is the only thing you hear
>When you open your eyes, the first thing you see is a crystal hallway
>You see windows along the left side that are letting light in
>And immediately it hits you why Umbra said it's a good thing you brought your coat
>It's fucking freezing!
>You wrap your arms around you in an attempt to keep your body heat
>It's worse here than the empire on it's worst day
>"It's so cold!" Lance says while his teeth chatter
>"W-Where are we?!" Biggs asks
>It's affecting them too?!
>Shit, you need to get out of here before you freeze to death
>"Uh guys?" Wedge says while he looks out a window "I think you should look at this."
>Walking over to him you take a look out the window
>Only to see that you're hanging along the side of a cliff
 
"Whoa."
>Looking down you see nothing
>It looks like a bottomless pit
>How the hell did she even make this place?!
>"I was right!" Eris says "We're no where near the empire."
>Umbra nods her head
>"We are further up north where the storms are incredibly violent and the wind is bone chilling." Umbra says
>She turns and walks up to you with a concerned expression on her face
>"How are you doing, Anonymous?" Umbra asks "Are you okay?"
>You're shaking like crazy, but you'll manage
"I-I'm fine, just as long as we don't go out there." You say "How d-did you even find this place?"
>"I created it." Umbra says "During one of my hunting sessions, my prey lead me to this chasm."
"And you just d-decided to build a secure dungeon around here?"
>Umbra nods her head with a smile on her face
>"It looked like a really secure place to hold the worst of the empire!" Umbra says "And the conditions here made it an ideal location to hold them."
>Punish with the weather, huh?
>"I was taken with this place." Umbra says "It just looked so beautiful."
>Looking around, you see snow flying freely through the bars of the windows
>This place must be hell to stay in
>"Anytime I go hunting, I bring a tiny crystal that I can use to make any structure." Umbra says "I mostly use it for making a small house when I need to bed down for the night."
>It beats being in a tent in this weather
"And you just used it to make this place?"
>She nods her head again
"What were you hunting?"
>Umbra sighs
>"A great gray wolf." Umbra says "It was the size of a house."
>In magic pony land? You'll believe it
>"Did you get it?" Lance asks
>Umbra shakes her head
>"Unfortunately I lost track of him and he got away." Umbra says "The only one that got away..."
 
>That sucks
>You see Umbra look out the window
>"I know he's out there somewhere..." Umbra says "The guards that patrol outside the wall report that they've seen a giant creature resembling a wolf up here."
"Maybe if we go on that hunting trip, we'll get lucky and find him."
>Umbra looks back to you before she gives you a warm smile
>"I'd like that." Umbra says "To hunt such a magnificent creature with the one I love."
>You hear Arthas clear his throat
>"Are we going to deal with Alastor or are you two going to talk about your future?" Arthas asks "Everyone besides myself and Eris is shaking from the cold."
>Dammit Arthas
>Umbra sighs before looking at you
>"He's right, Anonymous." Umbra says "We should get moving, I don't want you to catch a cold out here."
>Nodding your head you follow Umbra down the hall
>"Wait, what hunting trip?" Biggs asks
>You smile
"I'll tell you guys about it later."
>As you walk behind Umbra, Arthas, and Big Bull, you and your friends keep looking at the empty cells along the way
>It's kind of creepy walking through here
>Like a ghost town
"Was this place ever filled?"
>"No, it wasn't." Umbra says "There have only been five other ponies that have been in here."
>You see her look around
>"Only the worst the empire has to offer are put here." Umbra says "Which isn't a lot."
>Those ponies have it great
>You'll never understand why they would act up and be stupid
>When you all come up to a very sturdy looking door, you watch as Big Bull looks through the bars
>"Wake up!" Big Bull says "You have visitors, Alastor."
 
>Big Bull begins to unlock the door
>As he does Arthas looks back to Lance
>"Don't do anything stupid right away." Arthas says "I understand your feelings towards him, but hold off from doing anything for now."
>Lance stares at Arthas
>You can tell by that look in his eyes that he doesn't want to wait
>Along with the fact that he's tapping his hoof on the floor
>He shakes his head before letting out a sigh
>"Fine." Lance says
>Just stay calm." Wedge says "You'll get your turn."
>"And you..." He says looking at Eris "Stay out here until we call you in. We may use you to freak him out."
>Eris nods her head
>Upon hearing the tumblers of the door move you look back to see the door open
>As Big Bull pulls the door back, you can only be surprised at what you see
>A broken looking Alastor
>He's laying on the floor with an almost paper thin blanket that too small to cover him
>You would feel bad for the guy if he wasn't an asshole
>Then again if he wasn't he wouldn't be in here
>Umbra and Big Bull are the first to enter
>You all follow right behind them
>While you all file into the room you see Alastor crack his eyes open
>They're looking right at Umbra
>"Well... Look at who it is..." He says in a weak tone "My oh so beautiful queen and that mutt she calls a lover..."
 
>"Don't start." Big Bull says
>You look around his cell
>The walls are made up of the same purple crystal outside
>And there's a little sky light in the center of the ceiling allowing light and snow to come in
>Of course there are bars on it
>Although you're sure no one else knows about this place
>There is snow gathered up in the corners of the room
>Alastor himself is laying on a bed of hay
>Next to that hay are a few bowls filled with some weird gray goop
>It must be dungeon food
>Like it has no taste to it
>You take a look at Alastor
>Jesus he looks like shit
>His fur is all dirty and his stylized black mane is all raggedy and unkempt
>He smells like shit, like he's been rolling around in garbage
>Oh no that's the toilet over there
>He looks like he hasn't had a good night sleep in days
>Feels good to see him in this state
>"I'll start whatever I want, you buffoon..." Alastor in a weak tone says as he slowly rises from his bed "Don't tell me what to do..."
>As he does he starts coughing
>He must be sick
>When he gets into a seated position he winks at Umbra
>"You're looking as beautiful as ever, my Queen." He says before looking at you and your friends "So are you here to entertain me? Because I see you brought those clowns behind you."
 
>Savage
"We may be clowns, but we're also the guys that put you in here."
>"It must be shitty living here..." Biggs says as he looks around "But if you ask me, I think it's too good for you."
>Alastor only chuckles before looking at Lance
>"Why the look? You're not still mad about your wings are you?" Alastor asks with a arrogant smile on his face "Tell me, Pegasi, how did it feel when I broke them? How did it feel to be grounded?!"
>You can see that Lance is about to go off
>"How is that pretty little marefriend of yours?" Alastor asks him "Did the airhead realize how much of a joke you were and moved on?"
>"Don't you talk about her, you arrogant prick!" Lance says as he starts to charge him
>But before he can get far Biggs steps in front of him
>"Don't." Biggs says "That's just what he wants."
>"Then just let me-!" Lance says
>"And you, Unicorn, before my transfer here my ponies told me about a certain white mare with a blond mane." Alastor says "She runs a little bakery shop doesn't she?"
>You see Biggs look back to him with killer intent in his eyes
>"It would be a shame if something were to happen to her shop." Alastor says "Wouldn't you agree?"
>Ah shit now Biggs is moving in
>Like a ninja Wedge jumps in front of them before pushing both Lance and Biggs back
>"Stop!" Wedge says "He's just using your mares to get to you."
>"Well it's fucking working!" Biggs says "You're so lucky I don't have my hammer!"
>"Let's see if that fucking horn of yours comes off!" Lance screams
>"Enough!" Arthas says before helping Wedge
>Time to step in
"You can't do anything in here." You say "And if any of your lackeys tried anything there would be hell to pay and they know that."
>Alastor turns his attention to you
>"I know I can get to you." Alastor says
>He looks at Umbra
>"How about it, my Queen?" He says "I can show you a good time."
>Umbra only smiles before picking him up with her magic and slamming him against the wall behind him
 
>Everyone stops arguing as Alastor's body hits the floor
>Oh fuck
>Umbra's mad!
>Alastor starts coughing his lungs out before Umbra storms up to him
>"How dare you ask such a thing from me!" Umbra yells "In front of my beloved no less!"
>Umbra stomps on one of his legs
>You think you heard a snap before Alastor cries out in agony
>"And I will not stand by as you insult and threaten their loved ones!" Umbra says "Especially Ariadne!"
>Damn, Umbra
>You knew she cared about Ariadne, but holy shit
>You look over to Lance to see him staring at the scene in front of him with wide eyes
>When he looks over to you, you mouth the words "You better not do anything to hurt Ariadne!" Before making a slashing motion on across your neck
>Lance quickly gets the message and nods his head
>Umbra's horn lights up and she lifts Alastor up into the air by his neck
>"If any of your ponies try ANYTHING to harm Ariadne or Eliza or any of their loved ones, they will know the true meaning of fear..." Umbra says before she unceremoniously drops him again
>Alastor desperately tries to catch his breath on the ground as he looks at his leg
>It's fucked
>It's like a noodle
>Umbra turns and walks over to you
"U-Umbra that was... I've never seen that side of-!?"
>She silences you with a very aggressive kiss
>Everyone else in the room looks away besides Alastor who watches in horror
>What is she doing?
>Looking into her eyes she winks
>Oh you get what she's doing...
>You smile before getting into the kiss yourself
>Reaching down you squeeze her flanks behind her cape
>Her tongue forces your mouth open before it seeks out your tongue
>Dominant Umbra pretty hot
>But slightly scary at the same time
>When she breaks away from the kiss, she looks back at Alastor
>"A pathetic excuse for a stallion such as yourself could never hope to please me." Umbra says "Unlike Anonymous who has done so countless times before."
 
>Grabbing her ass, you lift her up
>"Anonymous~!" Umbra coos as she places her forelegs on your shoulders
"You see Alastor here's the thing..." You say as you make sure you got a nice hold on Umbra "You can talk all this shit and make these comments towards my marefriend, but it doesn't matter."
>You kiss Umbra's neck which causes her to giggle
"Because I have her and you don't, and that kills you inside." You say "To see me, an outsider who's not even a pony, take the Queen from you."
>"It's not like he stood a chance anyway, my love." Umbra says looking back to him "No stallion can compare to you."
>You can see Alastor's spirit breaking in half
>Good
>This is kinda fun
"You know what's great about being with Umbra?" You ask him "Every single night I get to hold her in my arms while she sleeps."
>Umbra smiles at you
"I get to listen to her cute little snores and she nuzzles her head into my chest." You say "I get to bury my face in this beautiful mane of her's."
>Umbra's smile gets bigger as you go on
"I can't begin to describe how amazing it feels." You say "And Alastor let me be honest with you, when we go at it, it's fucking amazing! She rocks my world every single time."
>Umbra blushes
"But you want to know the best part about it all?" You ask "Every morning I get to wake up to this beautiful face, and I'm reminded of how lucky I am to be with her."
>You look back the Umbra
"I love you, Umbra."
>"Anonymous..." Umbra says a little teary eyed as she moves in for another kiss
>Meeting her lips you both share another kiss
>Although it seems thing get heated as it starts to turn into a make out session
>You go in for another kiss on her neck, this time sucking on it
>Umbra lets out a small moan before moving her head close to your ear
>"Anonymous, maybe w-we should settle down a bit..." Umbra whispers "I'm starting to get a little excited."
 
>Dammit
>So are you
>Little Anon starting to wake up
>You chuckle before looking up at her
>She has a heavy blush on her face and an innocent smile
"I know, I am too."
>"I can tell." Umbra says as she wiggles her rump on your friend "He's stirring."
>You groan before squeezing her flanks
>Umbra holds back a moan with her hoof
>That's cute
"You say let's settle down and then you go and do something like that?!" You ask "You are asking for it, Umbra!"
>"Not right now~!" Umbra says "Everyone's in here!"
"Then tell them to leave!" You say "I don't give a damn if we do it in front of Alastor, I want him to watch in horror as I plow you."
>It'd be the icing on the cake
>Umbra giggles
>Listen to yourself!
>You just did this the other day!
>Have some self control!
>"When we get back home, I'm creating Eris's room." Umbra says "That way we can have our privacy again."
>Well shit
>Fighting off the lewd thoughts in your head you put Umbra back down
>Umbra turns around and you see that she has her tail pressed down against her backside
>Yeah, she wants it too
>"As much as we would like to continue with that, that's not the reason we came here." Umbra says "I think you know why we're here."
>Everyone finally looks back now that they know your show is over
>Alastor says nothing and lowers his head
>"Today is the day I pass judgment on you, Alastor." Umbra says "For the crimes and the treachery you have committed."
 
>Well the good news is that after that little make out session with Umbra you feel all nice and warm
>"Finally." Arthas says "I was about to throw Anonymous outside the room so you two would cool off."
>Lance and Biggs look at you before winking at you
"We can't help it Arthas!" You jokingly say "We're in love."
>Arthas rolls his eyes before standing next to Alastor
>"You have a lot to answer for." Arthas says "I hope you're prepared."
>Alastor only huffs before Umbra speaks up
>"Alastor Remmington, you have been accused of harassment of non pony citizens, plotting to get rid of said citizens, taking over a dungeon, taking hostages, and harming members of the guard!" Umbra says
>Fuck that's a lot of offenses
>"Because of your actions, you have been placed here in the Wolves Cell." Arthas says "A cell used to hold those who are be considered for execution."
>And only five other ponies have been in here apparently
>"I came here today thinking that I would give you a chance to defend yourself." Umbra says "But I can clearly see that you have no remorse for the pain you have caused."
>A smile forms on Alastor's face
>"You're damn right I have no remorse." Alastor says "If I could do it again I would."
>This motherfucker
>He's like a mad dog that needs stop be put down
>"You see?!" Arthas says before drawing his sword "Let's just be done with him already!"
>"Yeah, what Captain Arthas said!" Lance chimes in "Here give me the sword I'll do it!"
>"Wait!" Wedge says "Why not keep him alive so he can suffer?"
>You see Big Bull nod his head
>"What's the point?" Biggs says "We might as well just finish the bastard off and go home."
>Umbra looks over to you
"I'll stand by whatever you choose." You say "But in the end it's your decision, Umbra."
>Umbra looks down to Alastor before looking towards the door
>"Eris?" Umbra calls out "Could you come in here?"
 
>Oh shit here we go
>Looking over, you see the door start to open
>"Who is Eris?" Alastor mutters
>"You're about to find out." Umbra says
>The door flies open and in comes Eris
>She slithers up to Alastor before standing tall
>Alastor screams and tries to back up to the wall
>But with that broken spaghetti leg, he's not going anywhere
>"What in Equestria is that?!" Alastor screams
>Eris starts making strange ass noise
>Like demonic shit straight out of a horror movie
>Her eyes are also glowing red and she's showing off her sharp teeth
>"Is this the meal you promised me?!" Eris says to Umbra in a distorted voice
>"M-Meal?!" Alastor says
>Is she really doing this?!
>Alastor looks as if he's about to piss himself
>Well it's working at least
>"Get him, Eris!" Lance says
>You look over to your friends
>Lance and Biggs look like they actually think Eris will go through with this
>Wedge look curious to see where this will go
>Arthas is just shaking his head
>Umbra looks over to Alastor before looking at Eris
>"Eris, I need you to act normal." Umbra says "I have need of your magic."
 
>"Oh alright!" Eris says before her appearance returns to normal "I just wanted to scare him a bit."
"You succeeded at that."
>You can see that Alastor has relaxed a bit. but not by much
>"Alastor, I want you to meet an old friend of mine." Umbra says while looking at Eris "Her name is Eris."
>"Hi!" Eris says
>Alastor stays on guard
>"She's going to help me administer your punishment." Umbra says
>"So does that mean you've decided?" Arthas asks
>Umbra slowly nods her head
>"Alastor, you've proven to me today that you are truly a heartless pony." Umbra says "A pony with no remorse who had said given the opportunity, you would commit all your crimes again."
>Umbra sighs
>"And because of that, I have decided to put an end to this... To you." Umbra says in a disheartened tone
>So she decided on executing him
>You agree with her decision though
>Alastor needs to be stopped
>And unfortunately this is the only way
>You can tell by Umbra's voice that she doesn't want to do it, but she knows she has to
>Alastor begins to laugh
>Everyone is silent as all eyes fall on him
>His laugh starts out small enough before it escalates into a more maniacal laugh
>He's finally lost it
>When Alastor settles down he looks dead at Umbra
>"That's good, I was getting tired of this game." Alastor says "Let's get this over with."
>Umbra looks at him with disgust in her eyes
>"Big Bull, grab him." Umbra says
>Big Bull does as he's told an picks up Alastor
>"Let go of me you brute!" Alastor yells
>"Did you really think you were going to get a quick execution?" Umbra asks "No, I'm going to make sure you feel the pain and suffering you put everyone through."
>She looks back to Eris
>"You can conjure up a way to trap him inside his mind, can't you?" You say "I want him to live through his worst nightmares."
 
>"That's no problem!" Eris says "What do you want to be like?"
>This is gonna be interesting to watch
>Alastor continues to squirm around in Big Bull's arms
>"I want it to be a very dark and twisted reality." Umbra says "I need you to add some characters in there."
>"Like?" Eris asks
>Umbra looks over to Big Bull
>"I need you to add Big Bull in there." Umbra says "Along with a female and male griffon, a large Diamond Dog, yourself, and..."
>Umbra looks over to you
>"I need you to add Anonymous in there too." Umbra says "I'm sorry, my love."
>You wave your hand
"It's alright."
>So all the non pony citizens huh?
>You're all going to be monsters in that hell hole Eris is about to put him through
>You kinda wish you could see it
>"Can you do it?" Umbra asks
>"Of course I can!" Eris says "Just watch!"
>Eris makes her way over to Big Bull
>"Okay just let me put my hand here." Eris says as she places them on the sides of Alastor's head
>"Don't touch me you freak!" Alastor says
>He tries to shake her hands away, but she's holding on tight
>You watch as Umbra walks up beside Eris
>"All right, Eris." Umbra says "Do it."
>Eris nods before forcing Alastor to look at her
>"Now just look into my eyes..." Eris says
>Alastor struggles for a moment before you see his eyes change
>Like he's being hypnotized
>"And let's just put this on you." Eris says as she slaps a muzzle on him "He's gonna get loud real quick."
 
>You are Alastor
>Opening your eyes you see that you are no longer in that accursed cell
>Instead you stand in the empire again
>There is a heavy fog blanketing the area
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX7uxdc6YLg
>Everything seems normal enough
>The only thing is that there isn't a pony in sight
>Nor can you hear anything at the moment
>It's completely dead here
>There's no use just standing around, you better get moving
>As you continue walking through the desolate streets you feel like you're being watched
>When you quickly snap your head to look down an alleyway, you could swear you see red eyes staring at you for a moment before they vanish
>Dammit that freak is toying with you!
"Come out! I know you're there!"
>...
>Nothing
"If you think this is going to work, you're wrong!" You say "I'll never apologize for what I've done!"
>Suddenly you hear the sound of hooves stomping around in the distance
"Big Bull?!"
>Spinning around you can't see what it is due to the dense fog
>It didn't sound like they were coming towards you, but as if they were running around you
>You grow tired of these games!
"COME ON! COME AND GET ME!"
>Your voice echos down the streets of the empire
>It's a little unsettling
>As your eyes keep scanning the fog you start to hear something in the distance
>The flapping of wings
"The griffons?!"
>When you look up in the sky you hear a soul piercing screech as a silhouette flies towards you
 
>You barely manage to avoid the attack that was aimed at your throat by falling onto your side
>That doesn't mean it didn't graze your face with it's talon
>As it crashes onto the ground it quickly gets up
>It's the female one, Sasha
>She looks all different though
>Her body is covered in a black substance
>Almost as if she was draped in shadow
>Through the shadow, you see her red eyes shine through the shadow
>She's just staring daggers at you as she looks like she's preparing for something
>Placing a hoof to your wound you see that she drew blood
>And it actually hurt too!
"Sasha, you bitch!" You yell "I knew I should have burned your business down when we had the chance!"
>You hear another high pitch screech as her husband goes for you next
>Getting up you avoid him before taking off down the crystal street
>They continue to screech at you as you run away
>No doubt they're following you
>You need a weapon!
>There's no way in Tartarus you're going out like this!
>Arriving at your establishment you try to open the door
>You pull and pull, but it won't budge!
"Open, damn you!"
>Using all your strength, you're able to get the doors open
>Quickly rushing inside, you shut the doors before barring them with a broom
>Sasha and her husband must have been right behind you because as soon as you step away from the doors you see them crash into them
>You jump before letting out a scream
>They continue to crash into the doors for sometime before they just stop
>Are they gone?
>As you try to catch your breath you hear them screeching outside
"Damn birds..." You say before heading upstairs
 
>When you reach your office you start rummaging around for anything you could use to fight back
"Come on, there has to be something I can use!"
>As you continue to search your office you reminded of the painful memory
>Of when you met the mutt and his friends
>Damn them!
>Everything was amazing before they showed up
>You wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for them!
>And that damn mutt was the worst of them all!
>You remember watching from the side as Queen Umbra and him ate together at the festival
>While they danced together
>You begin to feel disgust rise within you
>And when they... Kissed
>That should have been you!
>You put so many bits into that party organizer just so she would secure your place with her
>You even had the love potion ready!
>And then in comes this Anonymous and he just swoops her away!?
>And to make matters worse, he rubs it your face today that he has her and you don't
>The way he forced himself on her
>He should be the one that need putting down!
"It's not fair!"
>You slam your hoof on the table causing a drawer to open
>Looking inside you find your dagger
>The same one you used when you tried to take the mutt's life
>It may not be the best weapon, but it's something
>Grabbing it with your magic, you start to hear banging noises coming from downstairs
>They're at it again
"Alright you stupid birds, I got something for you."
>Unsheathing your blade, you head back downstairs
 
>As you head down the stairs you watch as the doors hold their own against the birds
>The glass on the windows has also been scratched
>Those two will never be able to break that bar holding the doors in place
>Suddenly the griffons just stop trying to force their way inside
>Listening in, you hear nothing
>Did they go away?
>Stepping down from the stairs you slowly make your way over to the door
>You hear the loud pitch screech from Sasha before hearing hoofsteps approaching
>What ever is outside, it's big
>It has to be the buffoon
>As you continue to listen you hear unnatural speaking
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ3Oz5UgV8s (just listen to the first half or whatever)
>The griffon screeches once more before the hoofsteps walk away
>Now what?
>You're heart is beating so fast right now
>Against your better judgement you get closer to the door
>Just then you hear the hoofsteps rushing back
>You have no time to react as the doors are blown off their hinges, sending you flying back
>After colliding with the bar and falling to the ground, you look up at the intruder
>Standing before you is another twisted version of these non pony citizens
"B-Big Bull?!"
>He says nothing, he only blows steam out his snout
>He's just like Sasha and her husband
>Like a shadow monster
>The only difference is that his eyes glow white
>And his horns are twisted in a weird way too
>His eyes are locked on you
>You hold up a dagger and take up a defensive stance
"S-Stay back! I'm warning you!" You say before the buffoon rushes you
>You have no time to react as Big Bull wraps his hand around your neck
>You try to fight back by stabbing him with your dagger, but unfortunately it looks like that doesn't even faze him
>The next thing you know, he's throwing you out the window and back out onto the streets
 
>Rolling on the the crystal again you cry in pain before looking up in the sky
"W-What is going on?!"
>They sky is white and the clouds are black and they're racing across the sky
"D-Dammit!" You yell as you start to get up
>Rolling over onto your hooves, you start to get up
>The glass that was lodged in your mane and fur starts to fall out
>When you get back up, you see Big Bull staring at you
>You watch as your dagger, which is resting in his arm, get sucked into his shadow body
>It only then that you realize...
>You can't fight this thing!
>I-It's impossible!
>You're sure it's the same story for the griffons
>They're unstoppable monsters
>And they want your blood
>And just like that the fear sets in
>You have to go
>Find some where safe
"I-I need to run away..."
>The monster must understand what you said because it begins to walk towards you
>With every third step, Big Bull teleports closer to you
>Run!
>Taking off down the street you have no idea where to run, but anywhere is better than here!
>You notice that as you run the houses around you are crumbling down
>The streets are also breaking behind you
>The only place that looks unaffected is the castle
>That's where you'll go!
>Making your way over to the castle you can only watch as everything crumbles around you
>You're snapped out of your thoughts when you feel something grab your leg
>Falling onto the ground you look behind you to see an arm sticking out of the ground
>It's the diamond mutt!
"LET GO OF ME!" You scream as you kick his paw away
>Getting back to your hooves you continue sprinting towards the castle
 
>When you finally arrive at the castle, you stop at the front door
>Your heart feels like it's going to burst out of your chest
>The fact that you are just running away from these unstoppable monsters with no clear plan on how to beat them is scaring you to death
>How long will they keep it up?
>How long must you endure this torture?
>And what will they do to you if they catch you?!
>Your thoughts are shattered as you hear the cries from Sasha
>Turning around you see Big Bull, DD, Sasha, and her husband all following behind you
>It looks like they're racing to see who can get their mitts on your first
>You have to move!
>Opening the doors, you enter the castle
>Shutting the doors behind you, you try to bar them with a hat rack
>That won't hold them long
>You need to find a place to hide
>Turning around you look around to see that something is very wrong
>Access to the dining room and the stairs that lead to the Queens quarters are blocked off
>Along with a hallway that Queen Umbra's guards always patrol
>Leaving you with only one place to go
>The throne room
>Heading up the stairs you make your way over to the doors
>What can be waiting for you in here?
>You still have yet to see the freak and the mutt
>Upon hearing the others try to break the door down, you head inside
 
>Shutting the door behind you, you turn to see how the throne room has changed
>The wall behind the throne is completely blown away
>Behind it you can see a vortex leading to oblivion
>It just swirls around
>It looks like you could be sucked in at any moment
>Looking at the throne you find it to be shrouded in shadow
>Just like all of them...
>Walking up to the throne, you think you hear them break through the doors
>It's only a matter of time now
>Getting up closer to the throne, you look at the shadow substance in front of you
>You reach out
>What would happen if you...
>Suddenly a loud monstrous roar fills the room causing you to back up
>It's a good thing you backed up too because the freak named Eris comes flying out from behind the throne
>Startled, you fall on you flank before looking up at her
>Just like the others she's cover in black
>The only thing you can make out is her piercing red eyes and sharp white teeth
>Out of everyone she actually scares you the most
>As she gets down into a pouncing position you start to back up
>You can only get a few feet before the other non ponies break through the throne room doors
>Looking back you see all of them walking up to you
>You can only sit there in fear as they all surround you
>Every time you try to move they stop you
>Go towards Bull? He stomps the floor in front of you before roaring
>Go towards DD? He tries to bite you
>Go towards Sasha or her husband? They screech at you
>They form an incomplete circle around leaving only an opening to the throne
"What do you want from me!?"
>You hear a pulsating noise behind you
>Looking over to the throne you watch as the shadow covering the throne gets stronger before you see another pair of red eyes emerge from the shadow
>Along with a twisted red smile
"I was wondering when you'd show up."
>The eyes rise from the throne before the body they're attached to emerges from the shadows
"Mutt."
 
>The demented version of the mutt crackles with a maniacal laugh
>"Oh Alastor, still putting on a brave face, I see." The mutt says in a distorted voice as he steps down from the throne
>Wait!
"I-I can hear you!"
>"And why wouldn't you?" He asks "Someone has to tell you what's going on."
>He walks up to the circle before blocking you in completely
>You start to lose your composure as you look around the circle
>They're all staring at you
>If looks could kill...
>And now you realize the situation you're in
>There's no escape
>"What's the matter, Alastor?" The mutt says as he grabs your neck "ARE YOU SCARED!?"
>His voice booms through the throne room
>Shutting your eyes, you cower in fear
>You just want this nightmare to end
>You feel him release his grip on your neck before he tosses you back down onto the floor
>"So this is what you see us as..." The mutt says as he looks himself over "You're a pretty messed up stallion, Alastor."
>Sitting back up you open your eyes to see that he's looking out into the void
>"You see us straight up monsters." He says "Monsters that are going to destroy the empire someday."
>And in an instant he's back in front of you
>"And why is that?!" He yells
>You flinch again
"I-It's because Diamond Dogs can't be trusted." You say "Minotaurs are just savage brutes."
>You look over to the griffons
"Griffons are the same way. The only difference is that they have a kingdom." You say before looking at the freak "And I don't even know what she is!"
>The mutt grabs you by your neck before lifting you up
>The other creatures begin to get riled up before the mutt screams back at them
>They all back up before settling down
>"And what about me?!" He screams "You know nothing about my kind!"
 
>You try to say something, but with his hands wrapped around your neck it's making that difficult
>"And I bet your only problem with me is that you're jealous and bitter that I took Umbra from you!" He yells "Isn't it!?"
>You kick at the air as you struggle to say something
>Dammit! You hate this mutt!
>When he finally drops you, you cough and you try to regain your breath
>After a moment, you look him in those red eyes of his
"Yes!" You say "I hate you for that exact reason! It didn't even matter if you were a pony or not, I wanted you dead!"
>"That's what I want to hear!" He says before laughing again "That hate of yours makes me stronger!"
>The shadows around him grow in size
"I should have killed you in the dungeon." You say "That way we would have went to Tartarus together."
>The Mutt stops laughing and looks back to you
>The expression on his face is different
>He looks angry now
>He reaches behind him before he begins to draw his sword
"W-What are you doing?!"
>"What do you think I'm doing?" He says as he continues to draw his sword "You're going to suffer for all the pain you put each of us through!"
>No!
>"Bull, grab him!" The mutt shouts
>NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
>As they begin to move in on you, you start to lose it
"GET AWAY FROM ME! ALL OF YOU!"
>Before you can even move, Big Bull grabs you and holds you up
>You kick and squirm, but nothing works!
>"This is it, Alastor." The Mutt says "After this, you can have that death you've been longing for."
>The Mutt lines his sword up with your body
"NO! STOP! PLEASE!"
>His smile turns wicked as he lets out one final laugh
>And then he runs his sword through you and everything goes black
 
"HE PLANNED TO DRUG UMBRA WITH A LOVE POTION?!" You yell "ON THE NIGHT WE CONFESSED OUR FEELINGS?!"
>You are a very angry Anon
>Right now you're holding Arthas's sword and you have it aimed at Alastor's heart
>Alastor himself has been sitting on the floor in a catatonic state since Eris locked him inside his head
>Now is the perfect time to end his existence!
>Unfortunately Wedge, Arthas, Biggs, and even Lance are holding you back
>Biggs and Wedge are holding your legs
>Lance has his hooves wrapped around your neck
>And Arthas is holding your right arm which holds his sword
>Eris is floating off to the side eating some popcorn
>You think Sombra's magic must have kicked in because even Umbra is trying to hold you back from murdering Alastor
>It must activate when you get angry
>"Anonymous, my love! Calm down!" Umbra says as she pushes you back "He never got a chance to use it!"
>You struggle to get everyone off you
"I don't care!" You yell "Now I want him dead!"
>"Will you just stop?!" Umbra yells "Don't make me hurt you!"
>Eris had opened up some little portal that allowed you to see what was going on inside Alastor's head
>Guy has some serious demons if that's how he sees you
>Well let's just say when he mentioned that love potion, you kinda flipped shit
"I'll make that fucking monster version of me look like a care bear!"
>"Arthas!" Umbra says as her horn lights up
>You arm glows purple and next thing you know, you can't move it
"Dammit Umbra! Just let me do this!"
>This allows Arthas to easily disarm you
>When Arthas sheathe his blade your friends let go of you
>Umbra on the other hand still has her hooves on you
>"Anonymous, please..." Umbra says "I understand how you must feel, I feel the same way, but you need to calm down."
>You look into her eyes
>"It wouldn't be the first time somepony has tried that." Umbra says with a small smile "I've dealt with them before, so please just let me handle this."
 
>As you stare into those red iris's of hers, you start to relax
>There's just something about them that just puts you at ease
>You take a deep breath before nodding your head
"You're right." You say "I need to chill."
>"There." Umbra says as she finally gets off you "We're ending this now, okay?"
>You sigh before nodding your head again
>Man, fuck Alastor
>Out of nowhere Alastor starts screaming
>Thankfully with that muzzle on he's not too loud
>Turning around you see him spazzing around on the floor
>"Yikes!" Eris says as she continues to eat her popcorn "They are really letting him have it!"
>"Show me." Umbra says
>Eris turns the portal around so you all can see
>Holy fuck
>They're mauling him
>You see what he sees
>And all he sees is each of those monsters faces as they viciously beat him and throw him around the throne room
"Can he die from that?"
>Eris shakes her head
>"No, unless you count a heart attack from all the fear he's going through." Eris says "Then yes, he can."
>"Why don't we just leave him like that then?" Lance asks
>"Because we're not like that." Arthas says "We be no better than him if we tortured him to death."
>Umbra walks up to Alastor
>"Arthas is right." Umbra says "I only wanted to make him suffer for the pain he has caused."
>Her horn lights up and a purple ring forms around Alastor's neck
>"And now that he is..." Umbra says as she lifts him up "I can put him to rest."
 
>You look over to the window into Alastor's mind
>He looking at the floor
>Looking at his reflection in the floor you see the damage
>It looks like someone just took Mr. Potato Head and just beat the shit out of him
>His face is all bumpy and bruised and he bleeding from the top of his head and his nose
>His body looks like it received the same treatment
>Cuts, claw marks, bruises, you name it
>As Umbra begins to raise him up in the air, you see a hand grab Alastor's neck
>Inside Alastor's head he begins to get lifted up off the ground
>When Umbra has him high off the ground you look back to the portal
>You're the one holding him by his neck
>Alastor weakly kicks at the air in a desperate attempt to be free
>He will be, soon enough
>Umbra's horn glows brighter and the ring around his neck gets tighter
>Looking over at Umbra, you see her frowning
>She struggling to do this
>"I'm so sorry I couldn't be a better Queen." Umbra says in a sadden tone "Maybe then you wouldn't have turned out like this."
>She shouldn't blame herself for this
>"Farewell, Alastor." Umbra says
>Her horn glows in intensity one more time before you a snap
>Alastor's eyes then look like they're are being drained of light before they slowly shut
>Umbra carefully lowers him back onto the floor
>"It's done." Umbra says
 
>You all just stand there and stare at the lifeless body before you
>You can't believe it
>Alastor is dead
>Looking over to Umbra, you see she has her eyes closed
>Walking over to her, you kneel down in front of her
"You okay, Umbra?"
>Her eyes open and she looks at you
>Her eyes are filled with gloominess
>"I'm a terrible queen..." Umbra says
>Oh no
>You are not going to let her beat herself up over this
"Hey listen to me, you are not a terrible queen." You say "Alastor choose this path, he decided that taking over the dungeon and torturing me and Lance would be a good idea."
>Umbra says nothing and nuzzles into your chest
"If he had just behaved in the dungeon, you wouldn't have had to do this." You say "It's his fault."
>Umbra sighs
>"It never becomes easy." Umbra says "To execute one of your own citizens."
>You wrap your arms around her
"It must be difficult."
>While you console Umbra, your friends move closer to the body
>"So... He's really dead?" Lance asks as he walks up to the body
>"It's crazy, huh?" Biggs says "We've been dealing with his shit for so long, it feels weird now that it's over."
>"I guess that means we're free to take on a new enemy." Wedge says before chuckling
>Like who?
>You're sure the only other pony to voice their displeasure about you is that one mare captain
>But you're sure she won't do anything stupid with Umbra around
>Speaking of Umbra, she must start feeling better because she looks up at you
>"Thank you, Anonymous." She says "I needed that."
>You smile before giving her a kiss
"Anytime, Umbra." You say "You don't need to go through any of this stuff by yourself anymore."
>She smiles
>"Queen Umbra, what shall we do with his body?" Arthas asks
>Umbra looks over to him
>"I want it cremated." Umbra says "Then spread the ashes out to the wastes."
 
"You cremate your ponies when they kick the bucket?"
>Umbra nods her head
>"Only if that's what they want." Umbra says "Otherwise they can choose to be buried in a special place."
"You use portals to get there too?"
>Umbra chuckles before nodding her head
>"Sombra and I never really wanted to put a cemetery in the empire." Umbra says "So we found a place that could hold the deceased. Like Arthas's family."
>You've been in this empire for a while now and you're still learning new things
>"As you wish, my Queen." Arthas says before looking over to Big Bull "Will you take him?"
>Big Bull nods before picking up Alastor
>He kinda looks sad to see Alastor go
>Although the reasons for that may be bad
>When they exit the room, Umbra looks over to Arthas
>"I want you to work with Cyprus on spreading the word of Alastor's fate." Umbra says "And to make sure to also say that if any of his followers try anything, they will meet the same fate."
>Arthas nods his head
>"Of course, I'll also have some guards stationed around that bakery shop. Just in case."" Arthas says "What will you do now, Queen Umbra?"
>"I was thinking of taking the boys and Eris out to eat." Umbra says "It is almost lunch time."
>You could go for some lunch
>"Very well." Arthas says as he begins to leave the room "Have fun and I'll see you four tomorrow."
>"Umbra, aren't you going to tell them about the party?" Eris asks
>Party?
>"Oh right..." Umbra says as she looks back at you and your friends "Boys I have a surprise for you!"
>Arthas stops and looks back
>"I was able to request a party at The Icy Gem Cavern!" Umbra says "It's in two days now."
 
>Say whaaaaaaa?
>"Are you for real?!" Biggs and Lance say as the run up to Umbra
>Umbra slightly jumps before nodding her head
>"Of course." Umbra says "I think it would be nice for all of us to have a night out. Especially after today..."
>Umbra looks back to where Alastor was laying before turning around
>"I'm sorry you all had to see that." Umbra says "I should have asked you all to step outside when I did that."
>She still doesn't get it
>"No disrespect, my Queen, but we would have said no." Wedge says "I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we needed to be here."
>"Yeah!" Lance says "I needed to see it happen after what he did to me. And after seeing you break his neck with your magic reminded me to keep my nose clean."
>Umbra chuckles
>"We've been stuck with Alastor for a while now." Biggs says "It's seemed only right that we were here for his final moments."
"You see, Umbra?" You say as you place your hand on the back of her neck "We're fine, and we don't think any differently of you."
>"Well maybe Lance does." Biggs says "Who now knows if he breaks Ariadne heart in a bad way, this fate awaits him."
>"Dude!" Lance says "Not funny!"
>When Umbra turns around you see a small smile on her face
>You hoped that cheered her up
>"You four are too much..." She says before letting out a soft chuckle "Thank you, boys."
>You're friends all smile before Biggs steps forward
>"Now that we're in agreement that our Queen is still fair, how about we talk about that party?" Biggs asks with a smile on his face
 
>"Wait don't we remember the last time Lance had a drink from that place?" Wedge asks "Our chapter with Alastor began."
>"That won't happen again!" Lance says "I've strengthen my tolerance for booze since then."
>How?
>"Either way, that's why I want you all to bring dates." Umbra says "So that you can have somepony take you home in case you drink too much."
>Huh, that's actually smart
>"A d-date?" Biggs asks as if he's worried
>For what reason you don't know
>Umbra nods her head
>"Lance can go with Ariadne, You can bring Eliza." Umbra says before looking over to Wedge "Wedge, do you have anypony you can bring?"
>Wedge shakes his head
>"No, I mean I can find somepony to go with." Wedge says before looking at Eris "How about her?"
>You all look at Eris
>Wedge is braver than you thought
>"You want me to come with you?" Eris asks
>"Sure why not? We can go as friends" Wedge says "I don't plan on getting drunk so I could probably find my way home. I just thought you'd like to come along."
>"Sure!" Eris says
>"Well that settles that!" Umbra says with a smile on her face before looking at you "And you would be going with me!"
"Oh really?" You say "I though I was gonna go with Arthas."
>Umbra sticks her tongue out at you before looking back to your friends
>"So boys, I want you all to look your best in two days." Umbra says "This is going to be a very special night."
>Umbra looks over to you before winking at you
>You smile
>What does she have planned?
>Your friends all nod their heads
>"Good, now let's head back to the empire." Umbra says "All this has got me feeling a bit peckish."
>Following Umbra, you all head out the cell and back to the portal
 
>The sun rises thus signaling the start of a new day
>Opening your eyes, you look around the room
>It's barely lit up
>Seems there's a storm going on outside the wall
>Meaning that it's snowing in the empire
>Looking down you see Umbra sleeping with her head resting on your arm
>Eris is also sleeping at the foot of the bed
>Using your free hand you wipe the sleep from your eyes
>You wonder what's going to happen today
>While you think on it, you run your hand down Umbra's back
>Now that Alastor gone maybe Arthas will just have you guys go on a patrol around the empire?
>As you continue to run your hand down Umbra's back, Umbra's eyes begin to flutter open
>She starts to wipe the sleep from her eyes before looking at you
"Good morning, my sleeping queen."
>She smiles before before nuzzling up to you
>"Good morning, my love." Umbra says "Did you sleep well?"
"Of course, I had my beautiful mare beside me after all."
>He smile grows as she giggles
>"You two are so cheesy sometimes." Eris says before letting out a yawn "It's adorable though."
>You both look at her before looking at each other
>Umbra rolls her eyes before moving in for a kiss
>But right before your lips connect, a blood curdling scream fills the room
 
>That shit would wake anyone right the fuck up
>You both turn and look towards the door
>"What was that?!" Umbra asks
"I don't know."
>Could it be Discord?!
>Looking at Eris, you see a surprised look on her face before a small smirk appears
>Oh great, this is her doing
>Now what?!
>"Queen Umbra!" The guards yell as they storm into the room "That came from Anonymous's old room, There's something going on in there!"
>Oh shit!
>Umbra's eyes go wide and she immediately sits up
>"What?!" Umbra yells before rushing out of bed "Move!"
>She doesn't even get dressed she just books it out of the room
>You'd better follow her
>As you start to get up, you look at Eris
"What did you do?"
>"You'll see." Eris says while you hurry out of bed "This should be fun!"
>Exiting the room you see Umbra about to enter your old room along with her guards
>Running up besides her, she doesn't even look at you, she just burst through the doors
>When you and Umbra enter the room, you're shocked at what you see
>There's a giant shadow on the wall
>And Sombra's head is sticking out of it
 
>"Sombra!?" Umbra says as she starts to run up to him
>"Stay away!" Sombra yells "I don't know what will happen if this goes wrong!"
>Hey you can hear him!
>And he's right, you should stand back
>There's a shadow portal on the wall and it's blowing everything around
>"Sombra?" One of the guards asks "As in King Sombra?"
>Sombra screams again as his right foreleg emerges from the shadow
>"Sombra, is there anything I can do to help!?" Umbra asks
>"No! I must do this myself!" Sombra says
>"Lady Umbra!" You hear Ariadne cry out
>Turning around you see her run up the stairs
>"Lady Umbra! What's wrong?!" She asks "I heard a loud scrEEP!"
>She jumps and hides behind Umbra when she see Sombra
>"L-Lord Sombra?!" Ariadne says "Lady Umbra, your brother's back!"
>Sombra screams out and his other foreleg comes out
>Umbra runs over to Sombra
>"Umbra, I said to stay away!" Sombra yells
>"NO!" Umbra shouts "I'm this close to having my brother back!"
>"Why must always be thick headed!?" Sombra says before screaming again "Why can't you ever listen to me?!"
>Everyone in this castle must be wondering what the hell is going on
>This time it's Sombra's body that comes out
>All that's left are his hind legs
>"Because I'm your sister!" Umbra says "Now tell me when to pull!"
>Umbra wraps her hooves around Sombra's hooves
>Dammit, you can't just sit here and watch
>Running up behind Umbra, you reach out and grab Sombra's hooves
>Umbra looks back to you
>You wink at her, which causes her to smile
>Another scream pierces your ears
>This one is longer than the rest
>"N-Now! Pull now!" Sombra yells
>You and Umbra nod before you start to pull with all your might
>This shadow shit really doesn't want to let him go!
>Even with both your strengths, you're struggling to pull him out
>When you feel Umbra move back into you, you move back
>"Just... A little.... More and...!" Umbra says before you pull Sombra out
>Sombra falls to the floor while you and Umbra are catapulted onto the bed
 
>When you land on the bed, Umbra lands on top of you
>When Umbra gets up she looks down at you
>A smile forms on her face as she leans down
>"Thank you, Anonymous." Umbra whispers into your ear before giving you a kiss on the cheek
>Umbra sits back up before looking down
>"Sombra!" Umbra says as she jumps of the bed
>Sitting back up, you look down to see Umbra hugging her brother
>He's trying to hug her back, but he looks out of it
>The sweat glistens from his fur
>His mane is a total mess
>And the poor guy is trying to catch his breath
>"Anonymous, please help me get him into bed." Umbra says
"Yeah, of course."
>Getting off the bed you scoop Sombra off the floor
>He's a bit heavier than Umbra
>Setting him down on the bed, Umbra sits on the floor next to him
>"Sombra, do you need anything?" Umbra asks
>Sombra coughs before looking at Umbra
>"W-Water..." He says in between breaths "Please..."
>Umbra nods before looking at Ariadne
>"Well, Ariadne?" Umbra says "Bring us some water."
>Ariadne salutes at her before taking off
>"And tell Edith to prepare breakfast for my brother!" Umbra yells before looking at the two guards "And you two, go find Arthas and tell him to meet me here!"
>The guard ponies quickly nod their heads before running out
>Leaving you three alone
>Placing your hands on your hips, you sigh
"Well this has been a very eventful morning." You say "Right, Umbra?"
>Turning around you see a sight that warms your heart
>Umbra is smiling while tears of joy roll down her face
>Sombra himself is sporting a weak smile as you can see tears in his eyes
>"Welcome home, Sombra."
 
>Smiling, you sit down next to Umbra before putting your arm around her
>Umbra leans her head against you before wiping her eyes
>"He wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for you." Umbra says "I love you, Anonymous."
"I'm sure you would have found him one day."
>Umbra meets your gaze before smiling
>"You're being too modest." Umbra says before she plants a kiss on your lips
>Sombra's breathing has finally calmed down a little
>You hear hoofsteps come up the stairs
>Looking towards the door you see Ariadne run in with a cup on her head and a jug in her mouth
>"I gawt da whater!" She says as she walks over to the night stand
>She places the jug on the stand
>"Thank you, Ariadne." Umbra says as her horn lights up "And the food?"
>"Edith doesn't know what to make for your brother..." Ariadne says as Umbra levitates the jug and the glass over to her "So she and the other chefs are making everything!"
>"Everything?" Umbra asks as she pours the water into the glass
>Ariadne nods her head
>"Eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes, fruit bowls, cereal, and oatmeal!" Ariadne says "I have to find some of the unicorn mares to help me!"
>Jesus
"Well I guess we're eating breakfast in here." You say looking over to Umbra
>"It seems that way." Umbra says as she looks over to her brother "Here Sombra, lift your head."
>Sombra does as told and moves so Umbra can give him his water
>As Sombra gulps his water down like a thirsty camel, Umbra looks back to Ariadne
>"Ariadne, I need you to cancel all my meetings today, including day court." Umbra says "I also need you to send a letter to Seth and ask him to stop by the castle later."
 
>Sombra finishes his drink and lays his head back down
>"Thank you, sister." Sombra says, his breathing returning to normal
>Umbra smiles at him before Ariadne speaks up
>"How long is later?" Ariadne asks
>"In about an hour or two." Umbra says "I want my brother to recover a little before we start bringing ponies in."
>Ariadne nods
>"We're so busy this morning!" Ariadne says as she hops around in excitement "Is there anything else you need?"
>"Just bring the food up as soon as you can." Umbra says
>Ariadne smiles before saluting Umbra again
>You watch as Ariadne takes a closer look at Sombra before trotting out of the room
>When the door closes behind you, you turn to see Sombra trying to sit up
>"Sombra, don't push yourself so soon." Umbra says "You need to rest."
>"I'll be fine." Sombra says as he struggles to sit up
>Eventually he stops and opts for resting against the head board
>Sombra let's out a sigh
>Well at least he's not heaving anymore
>"Sombra, how did this happen?" Umbra asks "Last time we chatted, you didn't know how long it would take to get your body back."
>Sombra looks at her with a confused expression on his face
>"Wait, you didn't know?" Sombra asks "The other night-"
>"I helped him!" You hear someone say
>Looking towards the door, you see Eris walk in
<Now you get why she was smiling
>"Sombra!" Eris says "You're cuter than I expected!"
 
>"You had something to do with this?" Umbra asks
>Eris nods her head as she begins to walk up to the bed
>"Yup!" Eris responds "I sneaked in here the other night and gave your brother some of my magic!"
>Eris looks over Sombra before licking her lips
>"I'm glad I did too." Eris says "Umbra, you never told me your brother was so handsome. Hey Sombra, ever been with a Draconequus?"
>Well then!
>You're not really surprised to say the least
>Fuck it, as long as she's not going after you
>Sombra looks over to his sister
>Umbra immediately stands up
>"No! No, no, no!" Umbra says "Anonymous AND Sombra are off limits!"
>"What?!" Eris says "I can understand Anon because he's your special somepony, but your brother is off limits too?!"
>Umbra nods her head
>Looking at Sombra it looks like he doesn't know how to process any of this
>Eris huffs before crossing her arms
>"Whatever, it's not like I wanted to get freaky with him anyway!" Eris says before turning around
>Umbra shakes her head
>"Thank you, Eris." Sombra says "I owe you a great debt, I don't know how to thank you."
>You see a smile form in the corners of Eris's mouth
>"You just did." Eris says before walking towards the door "Well Umbra, I'm sure you want to catch up with your brother so I'll go hang out in the garden for a bit."
>As she opens the door, Umbra stops her
>"Wait, Eris!" Umbra says
>Eris looks back
>"Thank you." Umbra says "I'll get you something special later."
>Eris smiles before exiting the room
>As the door shuts behind her Umbra sits back down next to you
>"Even though she pushes my buttons, I'm glad she's here." Umbra says "I'm sorry about that, Sombra."
>"It is fine." Sombra says before looking himself over "Without her we wouldn't be talking right now."
>He looks over to you
>"Speaking of talking, it's time you and I had a little chat." Sombra says
 
>Here we fucking go
>Alright, you're a man, you can do this
"W-What about?"
>"You know what!" Sombra says "These little love making sessions of yours end now! I'm tired of not being able to get any sleep because of you two!"
>God dammit
>You're surprised he didn't just try to kill you when you pulled him out of that shadow
>"Now that my body has returned I can finally put an end to-!"
>Umbra puts her hoof up before Sombra can even go further
>You both look over to her to see that she has her eyes closed
>A smirk is on her face and one of her eyebrows are twitching
>There might be a smile, but she does not look happy
>"Sombra, you have your body back. That's good." Umbra says in an irritated tone "Now you're my brother and I love you, but if you think of trying anything when Anonymous and I are loving each other, let's just say you're going to need more than Eris to put you back together."
>Damn
>This is Umbra's house after all
>She get to lay down the law
>Sombra stares at his sister before looking at you
"Hey I told you, I love your sister." You say while shrugging your shoulders "When she wants it, she wants it."
>Sombra huffs before looking out the window
>"Oh stop!" Umbra says "You're finally actually living here, so you're going to have to get use to it."
>You look over to Umbra
"Are we really that loud?"
>Umbra looks over at you before pondering the question
>"I don't know really..." Umbra says "I lose myself in the excitement most of the time. After all, you are such an anima-"
>"Okay, that's enough!" Sombra interrupts
>You and Umbra both laugh and Sombra shakes his head
>Settling down Umbra places a hoof on the bed
>"How are you feeling, Sombra?" Umbra asks
>"Much better." Sombra says looking back to her "I'm just a bit hungry now."
>"Well when Ariadne brings the food up, you can eat to your hearts content." Umbra says
>"That's the one with the light blue mane, correct?" Sombra asks "She's an energetic one."
 
>"Yes, that's Ariadne." Umbra says "She's my head maid, assistant, and a very close friend."
>Sombra looks like he's thinking about something
>What could it be?
>The sound of hooves coming up the stairs draws your attention to the door
"I should probably help."
>Getting up, you walk over to the doors before opening them up
>Ariadne is on the other side with three other unicorn mares behind her
>In the mares magical grip are trays filled with food on them
>Holy shit that's a lot of food!
>A stack of pancakes, waffles, a plate full of bacon and sausage, eggs, a giant bowl of fruit, and then a smaller bowl of cereal and oatmeal
>She looks up at you before smiling
>"Thanks, Anon!" Ariadne says before walking past you "The food has arrived!"
>Ariadne and the maids carry the trays into the room
>Closing the door behind them, you turn around to watch as the mares bring Sombra his food
>They place the trays in front of him
>"We'll just take this..." Umbra says as she takes the fruit bowl "Sombra never liked just eating fruit, so Anonymous and I will take it."
>"Fine, you can have the cereal and the oatmeal as well." Sombra says
>"We hope you enjoy your breakfast, Lord Sombra." Ariadne says with a bow "Do you need anything else?"
>"No, thank you, Ariadne." Sombra says "You are very kind mare."
>Ariadne smiles and blushes a little before turning around
>"Okay, you all can return to your duties!" Ariadne says "I'm going to stay here just in case they need something."
>While Ariadne addresses her maids you see Sombra lick his lips
>Yeah that food does look pretty good
>Wait, he's not looking at the food
>So what the fuck is he...?
>Walking over by the bed you try to see what he's looking at
>Is he?
>Oh god is he?!
>He's looking at Ariadne butt!
 
>Oh fuck!
>That's not good!
>Looking over at Umbra it seems she didn't notice that
>You got to inform her of this shit right now!
>Walking up beside her, you sit down
"Umbra, can I talk to you for a moment?" You whisper in her ear
>"Of course, Anonymous." Umbra says "What is it?"
>The maids have left the room and Ariadne is just tidying up the room
>You look over to see Sombra eating a strip of bacon while his eyes are still trained on Ariadne
"I think your brother has the hots for Ariadne!"
>Umbra quickly turns to look at you
>"What?!" Umbra says
"SHHH!" You whisper "He was licking his lips while looking at her flanks!"
>Umbra dismiss you with her hoof
>"Nonsense!" Umbra whispers back "He was doing that at his food!"
"Look at him!"
>You and Umbra look over to see Sombra still eyeing her up like a piece of meat
"See!?" You whisper "You need to say something!"
>Umbra looks back at you before clearing her throat
>"A-Ariadne, do you have any plans for today?" Umbra asks "Are you and Lance doing anything?"
>"Lance?" Sombra asks
>"He's my coltfriend, Lord Sombra." Ariadne says with a blush "And I don't know, Lady Umbra. I'm waiting for him right now."
>"Well he's a very lucky stallion if he can snag such a beautiful mare such as yourself." Sombra says "I'd love to meet him."
>This motherfucker is quick as shit!
>He's going too fast!
>Instantly you look at Umbra with a look that scream "SEE?!"
>Umbra finally understands the severity of the situation
>Ariadne blushes before looking away
>"T-Thank you, Lord Sombra." Ariadne says as she fidgets around "He'll be here soon."
>"S-Sombra, you should really eat your food!" Umbra says "To get your strength back."
>Sombra looks over to you and Umbra with a raised eyebrow
>"Very well." Sombra says "So Ariadne, tell me about yourself."
>Lance needs to get here fast!
 
>You are Lance
>As you finish packing up your little sister's lunch you let out a small yawn before taking a sip of your coffee
>Mornings suck
>You wonder what's going to happen today
>You still have to ask Ariadne if she'll go with the party with you
>And you have to ask Ms. Mabelbottom if she'll watch Cynthia tomorrow night
>That way you can have some alone time with Ariadne
>Maybe something will come from it
>MAYBE you could finally prove to your friends you got what it takes to be a stallion
>They don't think you can do it
>You'll prove them wrong
>Images start flashing through your head, causing you to smile
>Nothing can go wrong!
>Wiping some of the sleep from your eyes you walk over to the couch where you placed your armor
>As you begin to put it on, you look up the stairs
"Cynthia, come on!" You say "You're gonna be late!"
>"Coming!" Cynthia says as she flies down the stairs
>Looking over, she has her saddlebags on and her mane is all fixed up from the bed head she had
"Where's my-?" She asks
>You point over to the counter where her bag lunch is
>She flies over and picks it up
>"Did you put-?"
"Yes, I put the cookie from that candy bag Eris gave you in there." You say as you slip your wings through their openings "But you better eat the apple, you hear? They're good for you."
>Your little sister groans as you fasten the last belt on your armor
>You make sure everything is snug before looking at your sister
"All right, Cynthia." You say "Let's get going."
>Cynthia smiles and nods before you both head out the door
 
>Heading outside you lock the door behind you
>"It's snowing!" Cynthia says "That means there's a storm outside the wall."
>You let out another yawn
>You can't really put your hoof on it, but something feels off
>Not in a bad way, just a weird way
>"Hey, Lance?" Cynthia calls out "Come on, I'm gonna be late!"
>Now she wants to be on time?
>You smile and shake your head
>As you walk to the school with you're little sister she hums a little tune
>Seeing the school off in the distance you see some other parents arriving with their kids
>They wish their children a good day before sending them on their way
>You've noticed that Cynthia has stopped her humming
>Looking over to her, you see that she looks a little down
"What is it, baby sister?"
>Cynthia looks up at you
>"We're gonna go see mom and dad again soon, right?" Cynthia asks "We haven't visited them in a while..."
>You nod your head
"Of course we are." You say "We've just been busy is all!"
>Cynthia starts to think to herself
>"Are you going to bring Ariadne?" Cynthia asks
>You nod your head
"I've thought about it." You say "She wants me to meet her mom and dad. So I guess she could meet ours"
>"What about Anon?" Cynthia asks "Uncle Biggs and Wedge have met them."
>You nod your head again
>Anon's your bro, of course you got to bring him
>"That should be a fun day!" Cynthia says "Mom and dad are going to see you have a marefriend now!"
>You laugh
>Upon hearing the bell ring, you look over to the school
"Come on, schools about to start."
 
>Walking up the fence, you see Cynthia's teacher wave at you
>"Good morning, Lance and Cynthia!" Jillian says "How are you this morning?"
>"Good!" Cynthia says
>"That's good to hear!" Jillian says "I love when one of my star students are ready for the day."
>It always makes you smile when Jillian calls Cynthia a star student
>You feel like you're doing a good job of taking care of her
>"Hello everypony!" You hear a voice call out
>Turning around you see Ms. Mabelbottom and her daughter approaching
>Ms. Mabelbottom was a light orange earth pony with a styled beige mane
>Her eyes were a shade of nice shade of magenta
>You used to have a crush on her a while back, but you couldn't get past that she had a kid
>Unfortunate too, because it felt like she had something towards you
>Ever since that day you went over to her house to help her with some house work you could feel it
>Oh well, now that you have Ariadne, you really don't care as much anymore
>"Cynthia!" Her daughter screams
>As your sister and her best friend talk, Mabelbottom approaches you and Jillian
>"Good morning, Lance!" She says "How are you."
"I'm good, just a little tired."
>"You poor thing, you really should get more sleep." She says
>You smile
"Can't, I got to make sure Cynthia's ready for school in the morning and I have to walk her here." You say "Then after that, it's off to guard duty."
>She smiles at you
>"You've done such a wonderful job of taking care of your sister." She says
"Oh yeah, speaking of taking care of my sister. I was wondering if she could spend the night at your house tomorrow?" You say "I'm going to a party with Queen Umbra and my friends."
>"Of course, Lance." She says "Anything for you."
>"L-Lance?" Cynthia says
>Looking down at her, you see she's clearly spooked
"What is it?"
>She points to something
>Looking in the direction she's pointing, you see what scared her
"Captain Arthas?"
 
>"Oh! Okay children, it's time for class!" Jillian calls out
>As all the kids head inside the school house, you look down to see Cynthia hiding behind you
>She's so scared of Arthas
>That's understandable
"What are you doing here, captain?"
>He looks down at Cynthia, which causes her to hide more, before meeting your gaze
>"Something has happened at the castle." Arthas says "I came to grab you, Biggs, and Wedge."
>Something happened at the castle?
"What happened? Is Ariadne okay?!" You ask "What about Queen Umbra and Anon?"
>"I don't know." Arthas says "I was on my way to the castle when the two guards that are stationed outside Queen Umbra's room came up to me and told me."
>You look over at the castle
>Well it's not on fire or anything
"Give me a second."
>Arthas nods and you turn around to face your sister
>You make sure to block her view of Arthas
"Okay Cynthia, I have to go." You say "Have fun at school, and behave yourself!"
>You ruffle her mane with her hoof
>"Lance, stop!" Cynthia says "I spent all morning fixing my mane!"
>You comply and let up
>Cynthia floats up and gives you a hug
"Go get em, Cynthia." You say "I'll see you when you get out."
>Your sister gives you a kiss on the check before flying towards the school
 
>Turning around you see a very, VERY tiny smile on Arthas's face
"What?"
>"Why do you act so mature when you're alone? When you're with your friends you act so childish." Arthas says
>You chuckle before looking back to the school
"I do it because I have to." You say "I can't act like a reckless teenager when it come to Cynthia."
>Right before your sister enters the door she turns back and waves at you
"I do it because my sister is my everything. She comes first." You say as you wave back "I put her above everypony, including myself, including Ariadne."
>You would even say above Queen Umbra
>Although she'll never be in the position where she'll need help
>Cynthia smiles and heads inside
"I love my sister. If anything were to happened to her, I... I don't know what'd I'd do." You say "I just can't imagine if-"
>You stop talking when you feel Arthas place his hoof on you
>"I understand. And I'm proud of this side of you." Arthas says "Get stronger, gain the strength needed to protect her and Ariadne."
>You look over to him before smiling
"Thank you, captain." You say "You're right, I need to be more like Biggs and Anon."
>Those guys can be crystal walls and forces of destruction
>All you and Wedge have on them is speed
>You shake your head and think back to your loved ones
>Cynthia
>Ariadne
>You'll protect them. You swear it
>"Come on, let's go pick up the others." Arthas says "Do you know where Biggs would be?"
"Probably seeing his marefriend." You say before taking off "Come on, let's go!"
 
>You are Anon
>"Here Anonymous, open up." Umbra says as she levitates an apple slice up to you
>Taking it in your mouth you chew on it as you look at her brother, Sombra
>He's looking towards the window as he eats his breakfast
>Umbra was able to come in with the save by telling Ariadne to fetch some tea for you three when Sombra asked her about herself
>Which was good because Sombra had turned up his charm to maximum power
>You get the slightest feeling that this motherfucker can get any mare wet just by looking at them
>But Ariadne a pure girl, she won't turn so easily
>At least you hope so
>God dammit Lance, hurry up
>Swallowing the apple piece, you look down to the fruit bowl
"Alright let me try."
>Focusing your magic you lift a grape up in the air
>Even though you have magic you're just so used to using your hands
>You'd either have to be really lazy or exhausted to use it to grab something
>Although you're just doing this for fun
>Hovering it in front of Umbra's face she bites down
>A smile forms on her face as she happily chews
>She looks so cute
>When she swallows her food, she giggles
>"I love this!" Umbra says with a blush "I don't know why."
>You only chuckle
>"I suppose it's because you're my special somepony." Umbra says
>"I really hope, you've been putting my magic to better use." Sombra says as he eats another strip of bacon "Seeing that has me questioning my decision to let you use my magic."
"Hey, I've been working on it!"
>Sombra shakes his head
>"We're just having fun, Sombra." Umbra says with a smile "Anonymous has been improving his magic though."
>You see Sombra look off at something before is horn glows
>"Anonymous, I've been meaning to ask you..." Sombra says as he levitates a certain item in particular over "Why do you have this?"
>It's the sword Celestia gave you for your birthday
 
>You'd figured he'd be wondering about this
"It was a birthday gift."
>"A birthday gift?" Sombra says
>Umbra huffs
>"A hideous one at that." Umbra says "I should get rid of it. You don't need it now that you have the sword I had Credo craft for you."
>You look over at Umbra
>That didn't sound friendly in the slightest bit
>You have Rebellion now, so she's not wrong
>There's really one other sword that can top it
>Still, you can feel the disdain for Celestia in her words
>"Here give me that." Umbra says as she tries take the sword from Sombra
>"Hold on, I'm examining it!" Sombra says moving the sword away from her
>"Sombra! Give me sword!" Umbra yells
>"Will you calm down?!" Sombra asks "Do you really despise the Sun Princess that much?"
>Umbra backs up
>"She sealed away my brother and she's actively trying to steal Anonymous from me..." Umbra says "What do you think?"
>You throw your arm around her in an attempt to calm her down
"Come on, Umbra, relax." You say "You were just happy a second ago."
>Umbra stares at you before she nuzzles into you
>"The mention of your ex usually does that to me." Umbra says
>"You're still so possessive." Sombra says as he put the sword back down on the table
>"When it comes to Anonymous, I am." Umbra says before kissing your cheek
>A smile forms on your face
>"Okay, I got the tea!" Ariadne says as she comes through the doors
>Oh no
>Curse her efficacy!
>You and Umbra slowly look over to see Sombra staring at her with asly smile on his face
 
>As Ariadne comes into the room Sombra finishes the last of his eggs and bacon
>He was going to finish his sausages, but he gave them to you and Umbra
>"Here's a cup for Lady Umbra!" Ariadne says "And a cup for Anon!"
>She trots over to Sombra
>You and Umbra both look at each other
>"And here's your tea, Lord Sombra!" Ariadne says as she hands him his cup "Vanilla Caramel Tea! Just the way you wanted it!"
>Sombra gives her that shit eating grin before taking the cup
>"Thank you, Ariadne." Sombra says as he takes a sip of his tea "You're efficient too. I like that."
>Ariadne smiles with a slight blush
>Sombra places his cup down on the nightstand
>"Ariadne can you help me?" Sombra asks "I want to get up and stretch my legs."
>This fucking guy!
"Sombra, don't you think it's a little early to be getting up?"
>You look over to Umbra
>"A-Anonymous is right, Sombra." Umbra chimes in "I think you should rest some more."
>Sombra looks over to you both
>"I'll be fine you two, I'm feeling much better." Sombra says before looking back to Ariadne "You'll help me won't you, Ariadne?"
>Ariadne looks over to you and Umbra
>You wanna shake your head, but with Sombra also looking at you, you can't
>"Well, Lady Umbra said you should rest." Ariadne says "And I agree with her! We don't want you hurting yourself so soon!"
>"You're too sweet Ariadne." Sombra says
>Sombra looks over to his sister
>The look in his eyes says "Thanks!"
>Umbra just shrugs
>Operation Cockblock is in effect
>You and Umbra are so evil for this
>You wouldn't care if he was hitting on someone who wasn't dating your friend
>"Watch, I'll show you I'm feeling better." Sombra says as he begins to stir
>He start to try to get up before Umbra stands up
>"Sombra!" Umbra yells "Just relax already! Before I throw you out to the wastes to cool you off!"
>Sombra stops
>"What is going on in there?!" You hear Arthas say
>Looking over to the doors, you see Arthas and your friends opening the doors
>And there's Lance!
 
>Lance looks over to Ariadne
>"About a few weeks now?" Lance says
>A smile forms on Sombra's face
>"interesting, so the love between you two is still young." Sombra says "It has yet to reach that unbreakable stage."
>Oh! You don't like the sound of that
>Okay time to step in again
"I don't know, Sombra. The love between me and Umbra is really strong." You say while pulling Umbra closer to you "And we've only been together for a month and a half."
>Umbra kisses you
>"He's right, Sombra." Umbra says "Our love is so strong not even the princesses can break it. Who's to say their love isn't as strong?"
"You should see when those two are together." You say "It something straight out of a love story."
>Ariadne and Lance look at each other before blushing
>Sombra looks back to you two again
>"Will you two-?!" Sombra says before he stops himself
>You're sure he's catching on to your's and Umbra's plan
>He takes a deep breath before looking back to Lance
>"Anyway, I wanted to say I envy you, Lance." Sombra says "And at the same time I don't."
>"What do you mean?" Lance asks
>"Ariadne's a very beautiful mare." Sombra says before looking at a blushing Ariadne "I must imagine you get compliments like that all the time."
>You notice that Biggs and Wedge look at each other each with an eyebrow raised
>They must be seeing what's going on too
>You think Lance is starting to get the idea, but it's too hard to tell
 
>Dammit Lance!
>"N-No, I hardly leave the castle." Ariadne says "I stay here most of the time in case Lady Umbra needs me."
>Sombra looks over to his sister
>"Will you help me if I need you?" Sombra asks looking back to Ariadne
>She nods her head
>"You're Lady Umbra's brother! Of course I'll help you." Ariadne says "I'll come in and wake you up and I'll tidy up your room."
>Sombra smiles before laying back down
>"Ariadne?" You hear a voice call out "We need your help with something."
>Looking over you see another mare in a maid outfit standing behind your friends
>"Oh okay!" Ariadne says before looking at all of you "I'll be right back everyone!"
>As Ariadne trots out the room she give Lance a quick peck on the cheek before leaving the room
>When the door closes you and Umbra let out a sigh
>You two cannot keep this up
>Inside, you're still wondering why you and Umbra haven't just told him to lay off
>Looking at Lance, you can now see that he's staring at Sombra
>Like he's starting to piece it together
>"So how did all this happened?" Arthas asks "I thought you told me you had no idea where your brother was."
>"It's a long story." Umbra says "He's been with us since we traveled to Princess Cadance's empire."
>Arthas comes up to the bed
>The entire time you see your friends huddle up
>You turn to whisper to Umbra
"I'm gonna talk to Lance."
>Umbra nods her head and you get up
 
>Umbra begins to fill Arthas in on everything that's happened with Sombra
>Walking over to your friends, you hear them whispering to each other
>"Was it me, or did it sound like he was hitting on Ariadne?" Lance whispers to the others
>"That's totally what it sounded like." Biggs says "I think I would know."
>"Oh man..." Lance says as he begins to pace back and forth "Nonononono..."
>You were afraid of this
>"What if he was just being friendly?" Wedge asks "We don't know how Lord Sombra used to act back then."
>Lance stops and looks at Wedge with worry in his eyes
>As soon as you get close, Lance turns to you
>"Anon!" Lance says
"Lance, just relax." You say "Umbra and I have been keeping him from getting too flirty."
>"Relax? How can I, Anon?!" Lance whispers "I can't when there's a stallion like THAT hitting on my marefriend."
"You have nothing to fear! She's not the type to cheat!" You angrily whisper "She's like the purest flower in the empire!"
>At first it was Umbra
>Then you came along
>Umbra is still pure to you
>"But look at him!" Lance whispers "How am I supposed to compete with that?!"
>Wedge comes up and slaps him
>"Do you really not trust Ariadne?! Do you really think she would do that to you?!" Wedge asks "If it really bothers you that much then talk to Queen Umbra!"
>"I really think you should just confront Lord Sombra." Biggs says "I'm not telling you to fight him, I'm just telling you to tell him that Ariadne is taken."
>Lance looks at both of them
>Wedge's plan is the more beta way to go, but it's the least likely to start problems
>Biggs's plan is the complete opposite and would be more likely to start a confrontation between Lance and Sombra
>Lance looks back at you
>"What would you do, Anon?" He asks
 
"If I were you, I would talk to him."
>"Anon, not you too!" Wedge says "This is only going to start a conflict!"
>You look over to Wedge
"He asked me what I would do!" You whisper to Wedge "I would say something if someone kept hitting on Umbra!"
>"I know you would! We've seen how you reacted when Alastor did it." Wedge says "The problem is that Lance isn't you!"
>You look over to Lance to see him thinking
>"Wedge, he needs to stand up for himself." Biggs says "Otherwise Lord Sombra is gonna keep hitting on Ariadne!"
>Wedge shakes his head in disapproval
>"I know that, but can't you both see that this going to be awkward?!" Wedge asks "It's not like he's the Queen's brother or anything!"
"It's not like we're asking him to fight Sombra!" You say "He just needs to say something."
>"Why are you being such a bitch, Wedge?!" Biggs asks "You can't tell me that you'd stand by and let this happen if you were in his position."
>"No, of course not!" Wedge says "But-"
>"Guys!" Lance says
>You all look over to him
>"I'm gonna talk to him." Lance says "Just step in, in case things get bad."
>You all nod your heads and Lance turns around
"Just don't lose your cool."
>"And that's how he got his body back." Umbra says
>"That's quite a story." Arthas says "Why didn't you tell me before?"
>Umbra opens her mouth to say something
>"Lord Sombra, I need to talk to you." Lance says cutting her off
>Umbra and Arthas look over to Lance
>Sombra looks over to Lance with a raised eyebrow
>The tension is creeping in
>"Stop hitting on Ariadne." Lance says "She's taken."
 
>The room is completely silent
>Lance and Sombra continue to lock eyes with one another
>You see Umbra staring at you
>Her eyes say it all
>"What did you three do?"
>"Lance, what are you doing?" Arthas asks "Do you know who you're speaking to?"
>"Arthas." Umbra says "Quiet."
>Arthas looks over to Umbra before nodding his head
>"I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you." Sombra says "Can you repeat that?"
>You really don't like this
>"I said to leave Ariadne alone. I don't like the way you talk to her." Lance says "I understand you're Queen Umbra's brother, but she's my marefriend."
>Sombra rubs his chin
>"And if I decline?" Sombra asks "What will you do about it?"
>Oh fuck
>"What?" Lance asks
>Sombra rises up from his bed before stepping down from it
>"Sombra!" Umbra says as her horn begins to glow
>"Wait, Queen Umbra!" Lance says "I just want to talk to him."
>Sombra looks back to Umbra
>"Yes, sister." Sombra says as he continues to approach Lance "We're just talking."
>When Sombra finally gets to Lance, you now see how much taller he is than the average pony
>"I'm sorry Lance, but Ariadne has peaked my interests." Sombra says "As I stated before, she is beautiful."
>They're literally staring each other down
>"That light blue mane, those red eyes, her pristine white coat, and that personality of hers..." Sombra says "I find it all very attractive."
>"Well I'm sorry my Lord, but I beat you to the punch." Lance says "Don't feel too bad about it. I'm sure there are other mares that you could have fun with."
>Sombra closes his eyes and nods his head
>"While you are right, none of them are Ariadne." Sombra says "I have my eyes set on her."
>You see Lance tapping one of his hoofs on the ground
>"Tell me something, Lance..." Sombra says "Have you two even consummated your relationship?"
 
>"That's none of your business." Lance says in an irritated tone "That's between us."
>He's getting mad
>"I'll take that as a no." Sombra says "That's good to know."
>You see Lance fly up just so he can get in Sombra's face
>"You know what? I don't care if you're Queen Umbra's brother." Lance says "I will fight you if you keep this up."
>God dammit
>"Didn't I tell you both this would happen?!" Wedge says
>"Damn it, shut up!" Biggs says
>"Okay, that's enough you two." Umbra says walking up to them "Boys, I need you to take Lance outside so he can clear his head."
>Biggs and Wedge nod their heads before walking up to Lance
>Umbra walks in the middle of them before pushing Sombra back
>"And you. This isn't your empire, Sombra. It's mine." Umbra says "You can't just have any mare you want."
>Umbra looks back to Lance
>"Especially ones that are already taken." Umbra says before looking at her brother "If a mare comes onto you, then you can do whatever you please."
>A smile forms on Lance's face
>"So what you're saying is that I need to get Ariadne to make the first move?" Sombra asks "A simple task for me."
>And just like that the smile is gone
>Lance opens his mouth to say something, but before he can, Umbra smacks her brother upside his head
>"Did all that time with no body leave you with so much sexual frustration?!" Umbra asks
>You think you see Sombra blush out of embarrassment before he climbs back into bed
>As he lays down he locks eyes with Lance again
"Come on, Lance." You say "Let's go talk out in the hall."
>You have to force Lance to stop glaring at Sombra before you head outside
 
>"I hate how smooth he is!" Lance says as you lead him out into the hall "Why did it have to be my marefriend?"
>Shutting the door behind you, you turn around
>"What were you thinking telling Lord Sombra you would fight him?!" Wedge says "You know you can't win that fight!"
>Lance sighs
>"I know, I know! I just..." Lance says "I don't want to lose her..."
>Lance looks down to the ground
>You can clearly see that Lance is distressed by all this
>Alright, you think it's time you actually step in
>You wanted to see see if he could handle it
>He tried, but you didn't want to see him get his ass kicked
>Lance is your bro, and you can't let this happen to him
>Umbra will most likely get involved as well
>Besides, you know what it feels like to have another stallion hit on your mare
>You also know what it feels like to see your mare with another stallion
>Especially when his name is Sombra
>...
>You shake your head
>You place a hand on Lance's head which cause him to look up
"Don't worry, Umbra and I will handle it." You say "I'm sure Umbra's already talking to him."
>Lance smiles at you before looking at the ground
>"I'm such a wuss..." Lance says "I need the Queen and my friend to fight my battles."
>"Nah, you stuck up for yourself and Ariadne." Biggs says "At least you didn't go with Wedge's plan."
>"Hey guys!" You hear Ariadne call out "What are you all doing out here?"
>Looking over to the stairs you see Ariadne come up
 
>You are Umbra
>You watch as Anonymous closes the door behind him
>When the door shuts, you look directly at your brother
"Have you lost your mind?!" You ask "It's not even noon and you're already trying to get into fights!"
>"He challenged me." Sombra says while looking away
"Only because you kept talking about taking Ariadne from him!"
>"Can I help it if I'm attracted to her?!" Sombra asks "She's just so innocent and pure, like the snow that falls from the sky."
>You groan and put a hoof to your face
>If Lance was not seeing Ariadne, you would have no problem letting your brother woo her
>Tartarus you would have set them up!
"I understand that." You say "But it seems you can not understand that she is in a relationship already!"
>"A minor setback." Sombra says "In time I will rectify it."
>You rub your temple with your hoof
>You wish mother was here right now
>No
>You need to step in now
"Look, this is going to stop now." You say "You need to get along with Anonymous's friends."
>"What?!" Sombra asks
"You heard me." You say "You need to cool it when it comes to Ariadne and you need to apologize to Lance."
 
>"Stop treating me like a child!" Sombra says "I used to be a mighty king!"
"Maybe when you stop acting like one, I will!" You say "And guess what, I'm STILL the Queen!"
>You feel as if you're about to lock horns until you hear Arthas clear his throat
>You and Sombra look over to see Arthas sitting there uncomfortably
>"Um, is this normal for you two?" Arthas asks "I feel uncomfortable sitting here."
>You nod your head
"It is okay, Arthas. We are just bickering." You say "We used to do this all the time."
>"Ever since we were children." Sombra says "Which is why I refuse to lose this time!"
"Sombra, you dolt! Just leave them-!"
>"Hey guys!" You hear Ariadne call out "What are you all doing out here?"
>You look over to the door
>Oh! Ariadne has returned
>Looking over to Sombra you see has a small grin on his face
>You roll your eyes
>Walking away from the bed you head over to the door
"Sombra, Ariadne is not some prize to be won, remember that." You say "She is a very dear friend to me and I will not have you or Lance do something that may make her cry."
>"I wouldn't dream of such a thing." Sombra says
"Good, and another thing..." You say as you turn to meet Sombra's gaze "I want you to know that I better not catch you trying to manipulate Ariadne into your bed. Otherwise you'll wish that a certain part of your body can grow back."
>You see your brother swallow the lump in his throat before nodding his head
>You smile before opening the door
 
>When you open the doors you see Lance hugging Ariadne
>They look so cute
>Looking over at your beloved, you see him walk up to you
>"I'm gonna talk to Sombra real quick." He whispers
"No need, I already talked to him."
>"I still need to talk to him though." Anonymous says "For Lance's sake."
"Later then. When everything has settled down." You say "How's Lance doing?"
>"He was scared." Anonymous says "He really loves Ariadne, and he doesn't want to lose her."
>You smile
>You made the right choice with him
>Ariadne trots into the room
>"Lady Umbra, Seth is here." Ariadne says "He's waiting down in the main hall."
>Already?
>"I think it's time for us to go." Sombra says as he gets up "Anonymous, get dressed."
>"Wait, I have to go?" Anonymous asks
>"Yes, I'm not going to let you slack off." Arthas says "And besides, I'm going to show you four the wall today."
>Anonymous sighs before you stand up and give him a kiss
"As soon as Arthas let's you go, come find me here." You say "I planned on taking Sombra out to see my empire."
>"Alright. Love you." Anonymous says with a smile as he heads out the room
>"Ariadne, you wanna go on a date tomorrow?" Lance asks "At The Icy Gem Cavern?"
>"The Icy Gem Cavern?!" Ariadne says "How are we gonna get in there?"
"It's my treat, Ariadne."
>That's all it takes for Ariadne to nod her head
>"I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Lance says "It should be a fun night."
>"Lance." Sombra calls out
>"What?" Lance asks a slight bit of irritation in his voice
>"I apologize for my words earlier." Sombra says "I hope we can start over and try things again."
>Lance looks over to you and you nod your head
>"Oh, well I guess apology accepted." Lance says "Thank you, Lord Sombra."
>"Now don't go thinking my pursuit is over." Sombra says
>You facehoof again
>This who you share the same blood with
"Okay, everyone beside Ariadne may go." You say "We need to make room for Seth."
>"You heard the Queen, let's go." Arthas says as they make their leave
 
>As the door shuts behind the boys, you let out another sigh
>Now it's just you, Ariadne, and Sombra
>"Lady Umbra, why do look a little irritated?" Ariadne asks "Did I do anything wrong?"
>You look up at her and shake your head
"No, Ariadne, of course you didn't do something wrong." You say "It's just a certain stallion is pushing my buttons again."
>You look over to your brother
>"Get used to it, dear sister." Sombra says "This is what you wanted after all."
>You can't help but chuckle
>Sure Sombra can be irritating at times
>You are happy to have him back
>Now those dreams of yours can become a reality
>You just need to defeat Celestia now
>You hear Ariadne giggle
"What's so funny?"
>"The way you and Lord Sombra act." Ariadne says "You may look angry at each other, but you're happy to be reunited! It's just like me and my sister!"
>You smile
"Can you go bring Seth up?" You ask Ariadne "We might as well get Sombra's measurements out of the way."
>"I agree." Sombra says "I can't keep walking around in the nude. At least not in front of a lady, like Ariadne."
>Your eye twitches
>"Okay! I'll be right back!" Ariadne says as she trots out of the room
>"How can she have so much energy?" Sombra asks "Is she always like that?"
>You nod your head
"Ever since I've know her." You say "Now Sombra, when you meet Seth, you'll notice that something is off about him."
>"What do you mean?" Sombra asks
>You really don't know how to tell him this
"He kind of swings both ways." You say "As in mares and stallions. So I'm not sure how he'll act when he sees you."
 
>Sombra raises an eyebrow
"He's really good at making attire!" You say to reassure him "He's the one who made Anonymous attire."
>"Ah! Well then, I'll take your word for it." Sombra says "I remember when I saw Anonymous for the first time, I thought his attire back then was rather dull."
>You smile
>"Well what do you expect?" You ask "He was living with Celestia at the time."
>Sombra chuckles
>"Just keep him from trying anything funny." Sombra says "I still prefer mares."
"Will do."
>"So what happens after this?" Sombra asks
>You think
"After this I'll show you around the castle." You say "Then hopefully Anonymous will be back and we can go show you around the empire."
>Sombra gets up from bed before walking over to the window
>"I can't wait." He says "I must say, even from here, your empire looks amazing."
"Thank you, brother."
>"So please do mind your manners of our new guest." You hear Ariadne say "They are very special to Lady Umbra."
>"Okay Ariadne, I get it!" You hear Seth say
>As they open the door Ariadne leads Seth inside
>You see that he's carrying a red box with him
>"Good morning, Queen Umbra." Seth says as he bows and holds out the red box "I have your dress for you."
"Really?!" You say as you take the box "That was fast!"
>"When the Queen orders something, I tend to work on that over my other projects." Seth says "I had fun making this."
>Seth looks back up to you
>"So why did you call me here?" Seth asks "Ariadne said you wanted me to make something for somepony?"
>You look back to Sombra
>Well here we go
"Yes, I wondering if you could make something for him." You say before moving out of the way to reveal Sombra "He's my brother, Sombra."
 
>You see Seth's eyes widen when they meet your brother
>Sombra has his back to everyone as he is still looking out the window
>"T-That's your brother?" Seth says as he continues to eye your brother's flank "W-Wow..."
"Seth? Are you okay?"
>You know he's not, but you find this funny
>Seth has a heavy blush on his face
>His eyes show that he's in some kind of trance
>You see him pull out a handkerchief from his handkerchief pocket on him clothing
>He wipes the beads of sweat from his forehead and horn
>When Sombra turns to face him you see Seth cross his hind legs
>You are doing everything in your power to not burst out in laughter
>Your brother has aroused a stallion!
>You must make fun of Sombra for this later
>Sombra raises an eyebrow at Seth which causes him to look away
"Seth!"
>Seth shakes his head before looking at you
"Are you okay?"
>He wipes some drool from his mouth before nodding his head
>"I-I'm terribly sorry, my Queen." He says "I-I don't know what came over me."
>You giggle inside
>He turns to face Sombra before bowing down
>"A-Apologize, my King." Seth says "I didn't realize you were so... perfect."
>You're sure Sombra didn't hear that last bit since Seth whispered it
>"Yes, well, in any case I am not your king." Sombra says "You may refer to me as Lord Sombra."
>Seth nods his head while Sombra walks up to him
>"Good. Now then let us get on with these measurements." Sombra says
>"U-Uh, of course!" Seth says "Let me just grab my b-bag."
>You watch as Seth fumbles around his red bag
>Occasionally he looks back at your brother
>When their eyes meet, Seth's blush worsen and he continues to search through his bag
>You use this time to look at your new dress
>Walking over to where you place the box on Sombra's bed, you use your magic to open the lid
>You let out a small gasp when you see your new dress
"Oh wow..."
>Placing the box lid off to the side, you pull the dress out
>It's a nice long black dress
>You can see the slit where you hind leg is supposed to show
>And you can barely see the red glow that Seth talked about
"It's beautiful..." You say looking at Seth
>"Only the best for you, my Queen." Seth says
>Sombra looks over to you
>"I think it suits you." Sombra says "But I feel it's to entice Anonymous, am I correct?"
>Now it's your turn to blush before nodding your head
>"Of course..." Your brother says "I can already tell I'm not going to be getting any sleep tomorrow because of him."
>You really hope he likes the dress
>This dress plus the way you'll style your mane tomorrow?
>He'll love it for sure!
>"It's for that party Lance was talking about, right?" Sombra asks "The one tomorrow?"
>You nod your head once more
>"Oh! There it is!" You hear Seth say
>Looking over at him you see him pull out his tape measure
>He holds it for a moment before taking a deep breath
>"Don't screw this up, Seth..." He says to himself "Just relax..."
>This should be interesting to watch
>"O-Okay Lord Sombra..." Seth says before turning around "Let's get those *gulp* m-measurements."
 
>You place your dress back in it's box before handing it to Ariadne
"Put this on my bed, Ariadne." You say before looking at Seth "Also bring Seth something that he can use to cover his lower body. Just in case."
>Sombra visions snaps over to you
>You just snicker at him
>Ariadne nods her head before taking the box and leaving
>Letting out a sigh you climb onto the bed
>Now you get to watch as your brother is measured by a stallion who has the hots for him
>As Seth walks closer to your brother, you see that he's blushing even harder
>When he reaches Sombra, his face has taken on the color of an apple
>"O-Okay Lord S-Sombra." Seth says "I'm gonna start with your n-neck."
>"Very well." Sombra says "Just control yourself."
>Seth nods his head before starting his measurements
>While he does, your brother looks over to you before shaking his head
>Sombra must feel very uncomfortable right now
>You shrug before looking back to Seth
>You've never seen Seth like this
>He was so calm when he measured Anonymous
>You don't want to think about what's going through his mind right now
>Seth pulls away from your brother before writing something down on his notepad
>All the while he's still wiping sweat away from his head
>"So how long do you think it'll take to make my attire?" Sombra asks him
>Seth eyes immediately snap up to his
>"I-It depends on what you want, Lord S-Sombra." Seth says "But for you, I could have anything done by tomorrow."
>"Fast and efficient." Sombra says "I admire that."
>You can feel the joy radiating off him from the complement before he walks over to Sombra side
>You notice he's walking funny
>That little comment from Sombra must have uh... "Woke it up"
>"Oh..." Seth says "Now I have to do your b-body."
>"I'm back, Lady Umbra!" Ariadne says as she enters the room with a black cloth on her back "And I have a cloak for Seth."
"Throw it over him, he's going to need it."
 
>"Why is he going to need- EWWWWWWW!" Ariadne says as she looks over to him
>Yup, she must have saw it
>You can't see from your position thankfully
>"A-Ariadne, please shield your eyes!" Sombra says "A mare of your caliber shouldn't have to see that."
>You let out a small giggle
>Ariadne quickly throws the cloak over him before turning around
>"Gross!" Ariadne says as she stamps her hooves around
>Using your magic you cover him properly
>Seth's face is glowing red
>"I'm so a-ashamed!" Seth says as he drops to the floor and covers his face "I'm so sorry, Queen Umbra! And I'm sorry Lord Sombra!"
>Poor Seth hides his face in embarrassment
>You look at your brother
>Sombra is looking down at Seth before patting him on the head
>When Seth look up at him, Sombra takes a deep breath
>"Do not feel ashamed. You are not the first stallion to react like this." Sombra says
"That's right." You chime in "Sombra has had this effect on stallions like yourself for quite sometime."
>"More than I would like, but yes." Sombra says "So come now, we need to finish up these measurements."
>Seth wipes a tear from his eyes before nodding his head
>Seth gets back up before grabbing his tape measure
>He gets back to work and proceed to measure Sombra's body
>He seemed to have an easier time now that Sombra talked to him
>Eventually he wrote down his measurements again before moving on to the part of your brothers body
>His flank and legs
 
>Seth marvels at your brother flank as if it was a forbidden fruit
>Sombra, on the other hand has his tail pressed against his backside
>He looks uncomfortable
>Seth begins to take his measurements by placing the tape on Sombra's backside
>"S-So firm..." Seth says "I just want to..."
>"Seth! Focus!" Sombra says "You have a job to accomplish!"
>Seth shakes his head in order to come back to reality
>"I'm sorry, my lord." Seth says while moving his head closer to your brother's flank "You're just so..."
>It is at this point that Seth kissed Sombra's flank
>"W-What in Equestria are you doing!?" Sombra yells before jumping away "Have you lost your damn mind?!"
>That was the breaking point for you and you burst out into a laughing fit
>"I'm sorry, my lord! I just...!" Seth says
>"This isn't funny, sister!" Sombra shouts "Stop laughing!"
>You ignore him and continue to laugh at him all while rolling around on the bed
>Even Ariadne is giggling
>"Umbra! Stop laughing at me!" Sombra yells "Or else I'll-!
"Or what? You'll tell mother?" You say "Like you used to when we were growing up?"
>A heavy blush forms on your brother face while you continue to laugh at him
"This is rich! I can't wait to tell Anonymous!"
>Sombra snarls before looking back at Seth
>"Hurry up!" Sombra yells to Seth "I wish to be done with this!"
>Seth nod his head and hurries to take Sombra measurements
>"This is so humiliating..." Sombra says
>You begin to settle down as your laugh turns into giggles
>"Please, my lord. I'll make it up to you!" Seth says "Don't be angry with me..."
>"Just hurry up!" Sombra says
>Seth does as told and just takes the measurements
 
>When Seth finishes taking the measurements on your brother, he jots them down onto his notepad
>"Okay, that should be it, Lord Sombra." Seth says putting his things away "Have you thought about what you wanted me to make?"
>Sombra, now free from Seth, walks over by the bed
>"Unfortunately I haven't." Sombra says "I was never good with apparel."
>Seth rushes up to him
>"Then please let me make you something!" Seth says "Ever since I first laid eyes on you I already started to brainstorm ideas!"
>You wonder if that's ALL he brainstormed
>"Well my sister did say you made Anonymous's apparel." Sombra says "And I did like his style."
>"So you'll allow it!?" Seth asks
>Sombra nods his head
>"Go ahead, but don't make it too flashy." Sombra says "I am no longer a king, so I have no need to dress as one."
>Seth jumps with joy
>As he lands back on the floor he nods before bowing his head
>"Of course, my lord." Seth says "Anything you wish."
>You smile before hopping off the bed
"Ariadne, please show Seth out." You say "On the way give him fifteen bits for my dress."
>Ariadne nods
"And Seth you may keep the cloak, I feel you'll need it when heading back to your shop."
>You don't want any other pony to see it
>"Thank you, my Queen." Seth says before following Ariadne out
>As the door shuts behind them, you hear Sombra grumble
>"What an ordeal." Sombra says "Never have I had another stallion kiss my rump."
>You giggle before heading to the doors
"I'm gonna go grab something from my room for you to wea for the time beingr." You say "After that we can walk around the castle."
 
>After rummaging around in your closet, you found something for Sombra to wear
>One of his old capes from before he left
>It was the only thing you had to remember him by
>Returning to his room, you throw the cape at him
>Sombra catches him before bringing it closer to him
>"You actually kept this?" Sombra asks as he looks down at it
"What was I supposed to do? Leave it on the floor as you walked out of the empire?"
>"You're right." Sombra says as he begins to slip on the cape "I'm sorry, Umbra."
>You walk up and hug your brother
"Hush, you're here now and that's all I care about."
>"How can you not be angry with me?" Sombra asks "Anonymous must have told you about the things I did. And you've been reading my journal..."
"Yes I know, but that's in the past." You say "You've changed from the stallion Anonymous told me about."
>Pulling away, Sombra has a small smile on his face
>"Thank you, sister." Sombra says
"What even happened to you back then?" You ask "You just changed one day."
>Sombra shrugs
>"I don't know." Sombra says "One day I woke feeling angry and jealous at you and the empire. After that, hatred fill my heart."
>You think back to the story that Anonymous told you about the other Sombra
>Perhaps he was evil at the start, but then turned to good?
>In turn making your brother evil
>But when the other Sombra absorbed the evil from Celestia and Luna it allowed your brother to return to his usual self
>If that is indeed the case, then damn that other Sombra for changing your brother in the first place
>Upon hearing the door open, you look back to see Ariadne
>"Seth has his bits!" Ariadne says "Are you ready to show Lord Sombra around."
>You look back to Sombra
"Ready to see how I changed the castle?"
>Sombra nods his head before you both head out of the room
 
>As soon as you step out of the hall you look down to your room
"Eris is going to be your neighbor, Sombra." You say "And you've already seen my room, because of your constant interference of mine and Anonymous's... activities."
>You see Ariadne move closer to your brother
>"I don't like when they really go at it." Ariadne whispers to Sombra "I always have to clean it up in the morning."
>"You poor thing..." Sombra says "I could only imagine the horrors you have to endure the morning after."
>You growl at Sombra which make him look at you
>"You and your lover should stop doing that all together, for Ariadne's sake." Sombra says
>You look over at the both of them
"No." You say "Besides I make sure Ariadne is well compensate for it."
>"She's right!" Ariadne says with a smile "I get to get off work early and that lets me do all sorts of things! Like go on dates with Lance!"
>You look your brother dead in the eyes with an expression that say "Are you going to say something about that?"
>Sombra remains silent
>With a triumphant smile, you walk across the hall before opening the doors
"Here's my study." You say "You can take any book out, but please return them afterwards."
>Sombra walks inside and looks around
>"Impressive." Sombra says "What are these inside this cabinet?"
>You look to see him looking at the one the hold the tomes and scrolls
"Those's are gifts that Star Swirl gave to me after his visit here." You say "They contain very powerful magic."
>Sombra continues to look around before walking out of the room
>"I'll be sure to grab some book tonight before I go to bed." Sombra says
"Help yourself." You say before moving towards the stairs
>Off to the war room
 
>Heading down the stairs, you stop at the third floor
"Now down this hall is the War Room." You say as you continue to walk with Sombra and Ariadne "My captains and I meet here every so often to discuss the state of the empire."
>Upon reaching the doors two of your guards salute you before opening the doors
>Stepping into the room, you turn around to see Sombra looking at everything
>"So you keep some trophies from your hunts, I see..." Sombra says as he looks around "Is that a Changeling head?"
>You look over at the spot he's talking about
>That's the one that didn't get away that day
"Yes." You say while Nodding your head "After we tortured it for information on where it's Queen was headed, I decided to keep it as a trophy."
>"Sounds like they upset you somehow." Your brother says "Mind enlightening me?"
"Another time." You say "It's a very long story."
>Sombra nods and looks at the spot right next to it
>"It seems as if you're waiting to place something here." Sombra says
>You smile
>You were just talking to Anonymous about this yesterday
>It would feel so amazing to hunt that beast with him
>Not to mention you would get to battle it right beside him
>You can see it now
>After the battle, you and Anonymous stand tall over the body of the wolf
>Anonymous muscles's glistening with sweat as you nuzzle up to him
>With the blood pumping through your veins he lays you down on the body of the wolf before...
>"Umbra!" Sombra shouts
>Shaking your head you look at your brother
>"Finally! You were just standing there making these strange faces." Sombra says
>Ariadne looks confused
>You blush before turning around
"A-Anyway that's all that happens here!" You stutter out "So let's go down one more floor!"
>"You get to see where I stay, Lord Sombra!" Ariadne says as she leads the way
>As Ariadne opens the door, Sombra looks back to you
>"What were you thinking about?" He asks "Why is your face all red?"
"I-It's nothing!" You say as you sprint out of the room
 
>After that little scene in front of Ariadne and Sombra you headed on down to the maid's quarter
>In that short amount of time you were able to cool off
>You should only think about those things when you're in the privacy of your own bedroom
>When Anonymous is there to help you... in case you get too excited
>As soon as you come out of the stairwell, Ariadne takes the lead and stands in front of you both
>"And this is where me and my maids stay, Lord Sombra!" Ariadne says
>This is such an interesting place in the castle
>Mainly due to the fact you made the walls pink for the mares
>The floor may be black, but there is also a pink rug leading from the stairwell to the end of the hall
>There are doors on the wall that lead to the other mares rooms
>And next to those doors are tables that have cute vases filled with flowers
>"Interesting!" Sombra says in an interested tone as he looks around "Tell me Ariadne, where is your room?"
>You roll your eyes
>It's not like he's going to try anything
>"At the end of the hall!" Ariadne says "Lady Umbra said that since I'm her assistant, I get the biggest room!"
>Sombra looks over to you
>"That's good to know!" Sombra says with a sly smile on his face
"Ariadne, you lock your doors at night, correct?"
>She nods her head
>Your brother smile slowly disappears
>You notice that some of the other maids are staring at your brother
"Sombra."
 
>He raises an eyebrow at you before looking out to the other mares
>"Oh!" He says walking towards them
>They quickly drop down and bow before him
>"King Sombra!" The maids say "It's is an honor!"
>Sombra could have any of these mares, but no, he chooses to go after Ariadne
>"Rise, my lovely ponies." Sombra says "I am no longer your king, you can address me as Lord Sombra."
>The ponies look over to you
>Nodding your head you signal to them that it's okay
>As they rise they come up to Sombra
>"Wow! He looks just like Lady Umbra!" One says
>"But he's a stallion." Another says "He's rather handsome."
>"Somepony should grab Felicia." Another maid says "Maybe then she can vent her feelings for the Queen."
>Ariadne looks over to you
>"She has a crush on you." Ariadne says
>You didn't need to know that
>What is with you and your brother having this effect on the same sex?!
>She must envy Anonymous then
>Maybe this will get Sombra to stop creeping on Ariadne
>Your brother has never acted like that before
>Perhaps he really wants to get closer with Ariadne?
>But you won't let that happen
>For Lance's sake
>"Ladies, ladies, I thank you for your kind word, but we must be on our way." Sombra says "I hope to see more of your beautiful faces in the future."
>All your maids blush, before Sombra turns to you
>"Where to next, sister?" Sombra asks
 
>After saying goodbye to maids, you all continued down the stairs
>Once you reach the main hall, you turn to face your brother
"And here we are!" You say "The main hall! Most of it is still the same."
>Sombra looks around
>"It's almost the same as I remember it." Sombra says as he looks around "You took down the banners that had me on them."
"You left! What was I supposed to do?"
>Sombra chuckles
>"I suppose." Sombra says as he looks down a hall "I take it the tree is still down there?"
>You nod your head
"The throne room and the dining room are also in the same place." You say "Oh! follow me, there's somepony I want you to meet."
>Leading the way, you take Sombra and Ariadne down another hallway
>Upon coming to Credo's workshop, you knock on the door
>You hear the sound of Credo working on something in there before his hammer stops
>"Ah a blacksmith." Sombra says as hoofsteps approach the door
>When the door opens, Credo greets you with a smile
>"That's a big pony." You hear Sombra mutter
>"Hello, Lady Umbra and Ariadne!" Credo says "What can I do for ya this morning?"
"Good morning, Credo. There's somepony I want you to meet."
>Credo looks over at your brother
>"Is this who I think it is?" Credo asks "Lord Sombra?"
>"I am no longer your king." Sombra says "You may address me a Lord- wait you already called me that!"
>Credo nod before inviting you in
>As you enter Credo's workshop you look over to his anvil to see that he was working on a few weapons
>You all take a seat around Credo's table before he pulls out a very simple bottle of cider
>"Aye." Credo says while pouring himself a drink "I mean no disrespect, but I have been living under Queen Umbra's rule, not yours. I am loyal to her and only her."
 
>You smile
>"Strong, loyal, and devoted to my sister?" Sombra says "I like you... Credo was it?"
>Credo nods his head before sliding him a glass and the cider
>"Do you want some, Lady Umbra?" Credo asks
"No, it's quite alright." You say waving your hoof "I'll be drinking tomorrow night."
>"Really?" Credo asks "What's the occasion?"
>"We're going to the Icy Gem Cavern tomorrow!" Ariadne says
>You see Credo smile
>"You're going too, Ariadne?" Credo asks
>Ariadne nods her head
>"Lance asked me if I wanted to go!" Ariadne says "I can't wait!"
>You see Sombra pour the cider in the glass before downing it
>"Well, I hope you two have fun!" Credo says "You two are just as cute a couple as Lady Umbra and Anon."
>You's say that you two are cuter
"Do you want to come along?" You ask "You don't need to bring a date if you don't want."
>Credo begins to think it over
>"I don't know, Rodin will be there." Credo says
>"Rodin?" Sombra says "Did I hear him right?"
>You look over to your brother before nodding your head sheepishly
>"He's here, in the empire?" Sombra says "When did this happen?!"
"Sombra, shut up!" You say "I'll explain later!"
>Ariadne and Credo look at each other with confused expressions on their faces
>You look back to them before smiling
>"Anyway, I'll think on it." Credo says "If not, then I want you two to enjoy yourselves."
>You and Ariadne both nod your heads
>"Well I have to get back to work, My Queen." Credo says before getting up "It was nice meeting ya, Lord Sombra. If you ever need armor, do not hesitate to ask."
>As Credo gets back to work you all return to the main hall
"And that's the castle!"
>"So what now?" Sombra asks
"Now we just wait for Anonymous." You say "I think he'll be here very soon."
 
>[This happens at the same time as Seth heads up to Sombra's room]
>You are Anon
>After getting suited up, you were on your way downstairs to meet with your friends
>Along the way you saw Ariadne leading Seth upstairs
"Try not to blow your load." You said as you passed him
>"What is that supposed to mean?" He says to Ariadne
>You smile
>If he acted weird towards you, you can only imagine how he'll react to Sombra
>Dammit you wish you could have stayed and watched
>Upon reaching the main hall you find everyone waiting for you
>"All set?" Arthas asks
>Checking to make sure you have everything, you nod your head
>"Then let's be off." Arthas says as he walks over to the doors leading out to the empire
>When you and your friends head outside the first thing to greet you is falling snow
>"Wonder if the storm outside will let up." Biggs says "I got stuff to do after this."
>"Quit your blabbering and come on." Arthas says
>As you walk with Arthas you listen to Biggs and Wedge
>"Like asking Eliza out on a date?" Wedge asks
>Biggs says nothing and looks away
>"Anon, I need you to come with me." Biggs says "When I go see her."
"Wait what?" You ask "Why do you need me?"
>"B-Because I do!" Biggs says "Just help a bro out."
>You sigh
"Fine, but I need to be back to the castle as soon as possible."
>Biggs nods his head and you look over to Lance
>He doesn't look as cheerful as he usually does
"Lance? You alright?"
>He looks over to you before slowly nodding his head
>"The whole thing with Sombra is still on my mind." Lance says "I trust Ariadne, but he urks me a little."
>You put a hand on his head
"Don't worry, I'm sure Umbra will keep him under control."
>Lance cheers up a bit and you all continue to follow your captain
 
>As you all walk behind Arthas, you continue to talk about the party tomorrow
>"I gotta dust off the ol' club suit." Biggs says
"You mean that one you wore at the festival?"
>He shakes his head
>"No that was my formal wear." Biggs says "This is just a casual suit."
>"I just thought of something..." Wedge says "Do our dates need to dress up?"
>You shrug
"I don't see why not."
>Umbra's gonna get all dressed up again huh?
>Last time she did, it was for the festival
>Man she looked good that night
>You can't wait to see what she does this time
>"I still can't believe you asked Eris to go with you." Biggs says "You sure you were feeling alright?"
>"What's the problem?" Wedge says "It looked like she really wanted to go."
>You and Biggs look at each other
"Yeah, but what if she tries to... You know?"
>"I-I won't do it." Wedge says, a blush on his face "I mean she's cute and all, but I prefer an actual mare."
"I'm sure she can shapeshift into one." You say "If so, then I wish you luck."
>You head Lance chuckle
>After a short time passes, you find yourself at the wall that surrounds the empire
>"We're here." Arthas says
>You look up at the wall
>Jesus, it's really tall up close
>"You see a pair of wooden doors being guarded by two guards
>"I hope you boys like stairs." Arthas says "Because there's going to be a lot of them."
 
>God damn he was not kidding
>It feels like you've been climbing forever
>You envy Lance and his wings
>He just flew to the top
>As you reach the top, you and Biggs are exhausted
>You're starting to regret getting Rebellion from Umbra
>Arthas stands at the top in front of some doors with Wedge behind him
>"You two okay?" Wedge asks "Do you need help?"
>You shake your head
>"S-Shut it!" Biggs says "You try hauling this hammer up the stairs!"
>Wedge rolls his eyes before your hear Arthas clear his throat
>"Come on, you two." Arthas says "We're already at the top."
>Sucking it up, you and Biggs push forward
>Upon reaching the top, Arthas opens the door
>The light blinds you as you step out of the dark stairwell
>When your eyes adjust to the light, the first thing you see is a beautiful view of the empire
>It's only now that you realize how big this Crystal Empire really is
>Everything looks so small from up here
>Except Umbra's castle
"Whoa..."
>"This is crazy." Biggs says
>"The empire really beautiful from here." Wedge says
>A gust of wind goes by and knocks your hood down
>Damn it's cold up here
>Not only that, but because you're right next to that barrier you can hear the storm raging outside
>"What took you guys so long?" You head Lance call out
>Looking over to your side, you see Lance sitting there
 
>"Shut up." Biggs says
>While Biggs tries to explain how heavy his hammer is compared to Lance's spear and Wedge's sword, you shake your head and look back to the view of the empire
>Looking out at the empire once more, you feel at peace
>You can see familiar places
>The Stray Mare, Seth shop, the school Cynthia goes to, and even the dungeon
>You smile
>This is your home
>And you couldn't be happier about it
>"I was wondering when you boys would get here." You hear a voice call out
>Looking in the direction of the voice you see a stallion with an impressive set on armor on
>The armor is much different than everyone else
>Oh he's one of the captains
>You think it's Jin?
>"Jin." Arthas says "I've brought my team to see the wall, and the duties they were fortunate to dodge."
>Dodge?
>Jin chuckles
>"You're not one for jokes." Jin says "Are you feeling okay?"
>"I'm swell." Arthas says
>Jin looks over to you and your friends
>"Well boys, welcome to my wall!" Jin says "As Arthas said you were lucky to not get posted here."
 
>"And why is that?" Wedge asks
>"It's boring up here." Captain Jin says "A lot of my ponies will tell you that."
>Jin looks over to Arthas
>"If it wasn't for your captain taking you four on as his protege, you all would have ended up here." Jin says "Follow me, you'll see what I'm talking about."
>As Jin turns around, you all look at Arthas
>"Yes, I kept you four from being posted on the wall." Arthas asks "Why? Because I see something special in you four."
>"And we wouldn't reach our potential if we were here." Wedge says
>"Precisely." Arthas says "You each have your own traits that make you unique, and when put together you are a formidable force."
>You like the way that sounds
>You do have a good synergy with your friends and Arthas
>You wonder how it would be if you fought with Umbra at your side
>When she fights it looks like a dance
>And she likes to taunt her opponent into making stupid mistakes
>You're all for shit talking the opponent into making stupid mistakes
>But you wouldn't say that it looks like a dance when you fight
>It would be fun to see though
>"As Head Captain, it's my duty to whip you four into shape." Arthas says "So you can be more than just my proteges."
>Arthas looks towards Jin
>"Now come on." Arthas says "We can talk about this later, right now you four are learning about the wall."
>Nodding your heads, you turn around and follow Jin
 
>He was not kidding when he said that this was boring work
>You walked around the wall while Jin told you "Interesting" stories about the wall
>They were so interesting that you totally didn't look off at the empire again
>It just looks so nice from up here
>There's no way you can let Celestia take you from this
>Looking down the wall, you're thankful you don't have a fear of heights
>This wall is pretty tall
>If you were on the other side you think the only thing you would be able to see is the very top part of the castle
>The fact that this wall is made out of crystal makes the empire look very fortified
>You wonder where that barrier starts at...
>"Thanks to the barrier that is at the very pinnacle of the castle, which only Queen Umbra can access..." Jin says "It makes it easy for us to watch the wastes."
>Huh, well that answers that
>Looking towards the top of the castle you think you can make out a small tower
"Only Umbra can get in there?"
>"Arthas has been up there." Jin says "But only because Queen Umbra was with him."
>Maybe you can see it
>She showed you the Crystal Tree after all
>Anyway you continued on the little tour of the wall
>Along the way you talked to some of the guards who are stationed there
>Most of them tell you that they just talk about dumb shit while they watch the waste
>They said that they would play cards if the wind would let em
>Poor guys
>It must be hell up here
>You'd much prefer to patrol the streets
 
>"It just sounds like it would get repetitive up here." Biggs says before yawning
>"It does." Jin says "Somepony has to do it though."
>You look over at the barrier
>You wonder...
"So the barrier can be used to keep anything out?" You ask "Even invaders?"
>Jin nods
>"Of course. If it can hold off mother nature, I'm sure it can hold off anything." He says "Although the chance of us being invaded are slim to none."
>That's good to know
>That means if there was ever a siege on the empire you have this giant shield to keep everything out
>Continuing on, you can tell that there's not much else to go over
>What else could there be?
>As you walk you look back to Arthas
"Arthas, why did you bring us here?"
>"I just wanted you four to see this part of the security of the empire." Arthas says "When we go on that hunting trip, you'll all get a chance to see what Stormhoof does."
>"I envy him." Jin says "To be out there, exploring and leading ponies in desperate need of a home to us."
>Now that sounds like fun
>Eventually you come back to the same door that you came out of to get here
>"And that concludes the tour of the wall." Jin says "I know it was boring, you don't have to tell me."
>You chuckle
>"I found it interesting." Wedge says
>Well they do say knowledge is power
>Looking over at Biggs and Lance, they look like they're about to pass out
 
>"Snap out of it!" Arthas says before the two of them spring into action
>Jin laughs before looking at Arthas
>"It's fine, Arthas." Jin says "They have every right to be bored."
>Jin turns around before walking down again
>"Well boys it was nice chatting with you, but I need to get back to my duties." Jin says "Take care."
>Arthas sighs before shaking his head
>"So we shall meet tomorrow for some practice." Arthas says "Then I'll let you boys go early to get ready for your party."
>Arthas begins to walk towards the door
>"I'm sure you will all be hung over the next day, so don't bother coming that day." Arthas says "The after that we'll see what we can do."
>Arthas looks back to you
>"You're all dismissed." He says says before heading down the stairs
>As the door closes behind him Wedge speaks up
>"So what do we do?" Wedge asks
>"Well Anon and I are heading over to Eliza shop." Biggs says "I don't know about you two."
>Wedge looks over to Lance
>"Wanna get something to eat?" Wedge asks him
>"Sure, I could go for some lunch." Lance says "I'll see you at the bottom!"
>Lance then jumps off the wall
>"Show off." Wedge says "Alright guys, see you tomorrow!"
>While Wedge heads down the stairs you look back out to the waste
>You shouldn't have to worry about Discord for now
>They haven't seen anything strange out there
>Although...
>What is this feeling?
>Looking outside of the barrier, you can't make anything out because of the storm
>But it feels like something is out there
>...
>"Anon! Come on!" Biggs says "I need you and I can't do this if you aren't there to help me."
"Coming!" You say before looking back to the wastes
>Shaking your head, you turn to follow your friends down the stairs
 
>After heading down from the wall, you and Biggs walked over the that little bakery shop
>Along the way you just kept thinking of what you felt up there
>God dammit, you're not becoming paranoid
>Are you?
>No it's that feeling
>"You okay, Anon?" Biggs asks "You got this look on your face like something's wrong."
>You look over to Biggs to see him staring at you with a raised eyebrow
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine." You say "Just a..."
>"Worried about your ex?" Biggs asks "You were asking a lot of questions about security back there."
>You sigh
"Yeah, i guess I kinda am." You say "She's been quiet lately."
>"You shouldn't worry about her." Biggs says "Even if she found us there would be no way for her to get to you."
"That's why I was asking about the barrier." You say "Now I know that unless she had someone on the inside, she's not getting in."
>Your mind wanders back to Discord
>You really hope you can reason with him
>Although he wouldn't even know where the barrier starts
>"Anyway even if they did get in we'd fight them off." Biggs says "Can't let em take the Queen's special somepony and our bro."
>You smile
"That's the thing though. I don't want anyone not involved with this to get hurt."
>"Well you can't just give yourself up." Biggs says "Not only would that piss us off, but you would end up destroying the strongest thing in the empire... Queen Umbra heart."
 
"You don't think I know that?"
>You would be a monster if you did that to her
>She loves you and has put a lot of effort into keeping you away from Celestia
>If you just left her, even if it was for the good of the empire, it would crush her
>"Look even if gave yourself up, it wouldn't matter." Biggs says
"And why is that?"
>"Because I'd find Canterlot and bring your ass home." Biggs says "You think we're gonna sit by while our Queen weeps over her idiot lover's actions? You're wrong."
>You laugh at him
>At least you have friends like this to snap you out of your funk
>You should stop thinking about and focus on the now
>Sombra's back and that makes Umbra happy
>And you like to see a happy Umbra
>Plus you have a party with your marefriend and friends tomorrow
>Shit's great
>Continue on, you see that you're coming up on Eliza shop
"So Biggs, you never told me why I had to come."
>Biggs stops before turning around to face you
>Why does he look nervous all of a sudden?
>"Anon, I need your help." Biggs says "I don't know if I can ask Eliza out."
"What? Are you gonna spill spaghetti like Lance did when he asked Ariadne out."
>He shakes his head
>"It's not that." He says "I just have a hard time asking out mares."
>You raise an eyebrow at him
"Why is that?" You ask "You seem like a ladies man to me."
>Biggs avoids your gaze
>"I just can't trust mares enough to start a long relationship with." Biggs says "Not after my last relationship."
 
>Oh boy here we go
"What happened?"
>Biggs looks up at you
>"That same thing that happened to you, kind of happened to me." Biggs says "I got betrayed too."
>Ah shit...
>You're sure it wasn't as bad for him, but still
"Biggs, I'm sorry." You say "I know how that shit feels."
>He nods his head
>"It was in high school, but it still hurt." He says "That's what kinda brought about my opinions on mares and relationship."
>He use to say that relationships were a waste of time
>"But when I talk to Eliza, I don't know I just feel like I could try again." He says "A-As long as it's with her."
"You still haven't told me why I'm here."
>Biggs bites his bottom lip
>"I-I like her, okay!?" Biggs says "I need help because I don't know how to ask out a mare I actually like!"
"What do you want me to do?!"
>Biggs sighs
>"I just need you to keep me on track." Biggs says "So I don't start looking like Lance."
>You chuckle before nodding your head
"Alright, that doesn't sound too hard."
>Biggs takes a deep breath
>"Okay good..." He says "Let's do this."
>Following Biggs, you both get closer to Eliza shop
 
>Approaching the door you see that Biggs's nervousness has not went down
>Now that you think about it, you and your friends are real bad at asking mares out
>You remember you acted like Lance and Biggs when you and Umbra were starting to get close
>Especially when you two started sleeping together
>You both were spilling spaghetti at the time though
>Not as bad as Lance
>Guy could make enough spaghetti to end world hunger back on earth
>And then here's Biggs acting all shy and shit
>Wedge is the exception here
>He just straight up asked Eris if she would go out with him without an issue
>Biggs places his hoof on the door
>"I can do this." Biggs says "Anon, don't laugh at me."
>You smile
"I won't, now come on, I need to get back home to Umbra."
>Biggs nods his head
>He pushes in the door and you both walk into the little bakery
>Upon entering the small establishment, the smell of treats and sweets fill the air
>The little bell rings above your head
>"Oh! Hold on! I'll be right out!" You hear Eliza call out from the back
>While Biggs tries to steel himself, you take a look around here
>There are some good looking treats here
>Maybe you should pick one up for Umbra?
>"Hello!" You hear Eliza says
>Looking over to a door way you see her come out with a tray of freshly baked sweets
>"Biggs! What are you doing here?" Eliza asks "And you brought Anon with you!"
 
>You wave at her
>"So what brings you back, Biggs?" Eliza says as she begins to place "You already grabbed your breakfast."
>"O-Oh, uh yeah!" Biggs says in the most awkward way possible "I came to uh..."
>Biggs start to fidget around
>Looks like he's having a hard time getting the words out
>Oh this is hard to watch
>You can't be here all day!
>Time to move this along
"Hey Eliza, have you been to The Icy Gem Cavern?"
>Eliza turns to you
>"No, but I've always wanted to go in there!" She says "It looks so beautiful inside. I have the dress for when I can get in there, it's just so hard to get in."
"Interesting." You say while looking over to Biggs "If only there was somepony who could get you in there..."
>Biggs smiles before looking at Eliza
>"Biggs? Did you find a way to get inside?" Eliza asks
>"Uh it's more like Queen Umbra is throwing a party for us." Biggs says "For what we did at the dungeon."
>"Wow that's amazing!" Eliza says "You're so lucky. Wish I could go..."
>You wonder if she's a little slow to catch on
>Biggs chuckles nervously before rubbing the back of his head
>"Well that's kind of why I'm here." Biggs says "Queen Umbra said we should bring a date, just in case we need someone to get us home..."
>It looks like she starting to get
>"Biggs? Are you..." Eliza asks before Biggs nods his head
>"Y-You want to be my date to the party?" Biggs asks
 
>Eliza blushes
>"A-Are you serious?!" Eliza asks "You're not just messing with me, right?"
>Biggs slowly nods his head
>"Y-Yeah, why not?" Biggs says "We've known each other for a while, and I think you're c-cute so..."
>Eliza runs around the counter before stopping in front of Biggs
>"O-Of course I'll go!" Eliza says "I've been waiting for you to ask me out for a while now, you big dummy."
>Biggs holds a surprised look on his face before a smile creeps on his face
>"Really?" Biggs asks
>Eliza blushes and nods her head
>"You're like my best friend." Eliza says "You come in here every morning, you make me laugh, and you always make me happy."
>Biggs looks a little taken back
>"Huh..." Biggs says "I just thought we were really close."
>"I thought you knew." Eliza says "Especially after I came to see you in the hospital. You had me really scared when I heard that you got hurt."
>"I told you I was sorry!" Biggs says with a smile
>"That's not the point!" Eliza said "You promised me you would be okay."
>You smile
>This kind of reminds you of that talk you had with Umbra
>"I know. And I'm sorry I didn't catch on sooner." Biggs says "I've been in a bad relationship before, that's why I didn't ask sooner."
>"That's in the past." Eliza says "Use it to make yourself stronger."
>Biggs nods his head before looking at you
>"We did it, Anon!" Biggs says
>Well looks like your job here is done
>That was a lot easier than you expected
"Biggs, you didn't need my help."
>He chuckles before looking back to his date
>"I guess I'll come get you tomorrow." Biggs says
>"I'll be all set for tomorrow then." Eliza says "This should be a fun night for both of us!"
>As Biggs waves her goodbye you both head back outside
>Saying goodbye and that you'll see Biggs tomorrow, you rush back to the castle
 
>After running back to the castle, you take some time to compose yourself at the front doors
>Fuck, you hope you're not late
>It's okay if they did leave without you
>That just gives you some time to work out
>With your heart rate under control, you open up the doors and step inside
>Walking into the main hall you look around for Umbra
>Nope, just a bunch of maids keeping the place clean
>"So you think anypony has a chance with Lord Sombra?" One of the maids say with another
>"Nope!" Another maid says back to her "He'll be the one choosing the mare he wants."
>"Did you notice he was looking at Ariadne?" Another maid says "Looks like she's the lucky mare."
>Too bad for him his sister said no
>One of the maids turns around and sees you
>"Oh! Hello Anonymous!" The maid says "If you're looking for Lady Umbra and Lord Sombra they went down that hall."
>Looking over, she's pointing down the hall The Crystal Tree
>They should be back soon
>You dick around a bit in the main hall before you hear Sombra's voice
>"I wonder what would have happened if I had touched the tree first..." Sombra says
>You see both brother and sister come out of the hallway before Umbra's eyes meet yours
>"Anonymous, my love!" Umbra says as she runs up to you "You're back!"
>You and Umbra share a quick kiss before she pulls away
>"So how was the wall?" Umbra asks in a cheesy tone
>She already knows
"It was boring." You say "But afterwards Biggs and I went to Eliza bakery so he could ask her to the party."
>"And I take it was a success?" Umbra asks
>You nod your head
"He's all set." You say "So how was your day?"
>"Wonderful! I need to fill you in on some funny turn of events." Umbra says "We were just waiting for you to come home."
"Well I'm here now." You say "You want to get going?"
>"Before it gets dark." Umbra says with a nod before looking back at her brother "Come on, Sombra. It's time to see my empire."
 
>After heading out with Umbra and Sombra, you showed Sombra around the empire
>It was actually kind of fun
>You went around the empire, showing Sombra all the new sights he didn't know about
>Really it was fun to just see how giddy Umbra was
>She seemed really happy to be walking around with you and Sombra
>Anyway you went and saw places like The Stray Mare, Icy Gem Cavern, and The Emerald cafe
>Sombra was surprised to see how much was added since he left
>When you came across the school, you saw Eris playing with the kids
>It looks like she made them a very complex jungle gym to play in
>Speaking of Eris, Umbra told you that before you arrived home she had sent some guards and maids to fetch Eris's things from her bed chambers
>Umbra hopes that they get her room set up tonight, so that you two can have your alone time
>That would be nice
>Eris hasn't been too annoying lately, you just want your private time with Umbra
>As you continued to walk around, the citizens would all drop down and bow when they saw Sombra
>You think he had to say "I'm no longer your king." About twenty thousand times until he just started to scream that he wanted to be called Lord Sombra
>You and Umbra found this funny
>You got through showing Sombra most of the empire before you notice that it was starting to get darker
>And the snow was getting a little fiercer
>Umbra was a little bummed that she couldn't show Sombra everything
>But she said it was for the best at the moment because of Sombra
>He was kinda out of it
>Sombra apologized to his sister for his stamina
>She had said it was no problem and that they could go some other time
>You guess all that time being a shadow wasn't good for his endurance
>So with that you all returned to the castle
 
>When you got back home, you went to the dining room to have dinner
>It was a nice steak dinner with a salad on the side with some tea
>Edith was all surprised when she saw Sombra at first
>She told him how much he looks like his sister
>After dinner you returned upstairs
>When you reach the top floor you see a few maids coming out of the room
>Along with Ariadne
>"Oh hello, Queen Umbra!" Ariadne says "We finished getting Eris's room together!"
>Nice
>"That's wonderful to hear!" Umbra says "I thank you, Ariadne. For all your hard work."
>Ariadne smiles before letting out a yawn
>"Thank you, Lady Umbra." She says "I'm beat."
>"Then go to sleep." Umbra says "You've all earned it."
>"Sleep well, Ariadne." Sombra says "A mare like you needs her beauty sleep."
>You shake your head
>Ariadne smiles again before heading towards the stairs
>The other maids follow right behind her
>"See you tomorrow, Lady Umbra..." Ariadne says in a tired tone
>As the sound of her hoofsteps get further away, you hear someone humming a tune
>"Hey everyone!" You hear Eris call out as she floats up the steps
>A smile forms on Umbra's face
 
>"Ah, Eris! Just the Draconequus I wanted to see." Umbra says "I have a surprise for you!"
>"Oh?" Eris says as she floats over to your group "And what would that be?
>Her eyes look back and forth between you and Sombra
>"Is it a night with these handsome stallions?" Eris says before winking at you both
>Uncomfortable.webm
>Maybe if you ignore the comment she'll leave you alone
>You look over at Sombra, who also shares the same look as you
>"I said they're off limits!" Umbra says before pointing over to Eris's room "You're room is done, you can sleep in there now!"
>Okay, you can understand why you're off limits
>But why Sombra?
>If Eris and him bumped uglies that would be a win-win, right?
>Eris would leave you alone, and Sombra would stop going after Ariadne
>Then again, Sombra doesn't look like he wants that
>Maybe he's afraid of her?
>And you're pretty sure you can't force him to take one for the team
>Not only that, but you're afraid of what Umbra would do to you if you tried
>"Really? My room is done?" Eris says as she walks over to the doors "Let me see."
>You all follow her and she opens the doors
>Looking inside the room, you see a very round and very large purple bed in the center of the room
>A lot of the stuff in here is from that bedchamber of her's below the training ground
>The vases, flowers, pillows, the banners on the wall
>"I love it!" Eris says as she lays down on the bed
>"Good." Umbra says "Now that you're settled in, we can get out of here. Goodnight, Eris."
>Eris waves before you all step out
>"She's a strange one." Sombra says "I'm not sure about her being next to my room."
>"Just lock your door then." Umbra says "Maybe cast a little spell on it just to be safe."
>"Of course, goodnight, Umbra." Sombra says with a smile "See you both tomorrow."
>"Goodnight, Sombra." Umbra says as she pulls him in for a hug
>As he heads into his room, you feel Umbra grab your hand with her magic before she pulls you to your bedroom
 
When you two enter your bedroom, Umbra happily skips over to her closet
>"This has been such a wonderful day!" Umbra says as she begins to undo her armor
>Smiling you walk over to your little sword rack and place Rebellion in it
"Yeah I say it was a good day." You say as you start to take your armor off "Your brother got his body back, Eris's room is finished, and I help Biggs get his date."
>The only thing on your mind is that feeling you had on the wall
>As you take off your pants, you reach for your pajamas
>Slipping that bad boy on, you walk over to the bed
>Huh...
>What's in this red box?
>Picking it up, you start to inspect the outside the box
>This looks like something out of boutique, maybe Seth brought it when he stopped by?
>You start to open the lid
>"Nothing can ruin this day for me!" Umbra says as she trots out of her closet "Anonymous, don't!"
>You jump and look over to her as she tackles you onto the bed
>The wind is knocked out of you and the box goes flying into the air
>Umbra, who is standing over you uses her magic to catch the box before the contents spill out
"Umbra, what the hell?!" You say before placing a hand on your stomach
>"I'm sorry, Anonymous, but you can't see what's in this box." Umbra says "At least not until tomorrow night."
"Well you could have just said that!" You say "I didn't need to fracture my ribs with your head!"
>She smiles and leans down before planting a kiss on your cheek
>"Sorry, my love." She says "I just really want this to be surprise."
>You sigh before letting out a small chuckle
"I can't be mad at you."
>"Of course you can't." Umbra says "Not only am I so beautiful your anger washes away, but I'm also your mare and Queen."
>You roll your eyes as she begins to take her crown off
>When she places her crown down on her stand she shakes her mane loose, letting fall over you
>Looking into Umbra's eyes, you two share a kiss
"Hey, Umbra?" You say "How come you don't want Eris getting close to Sombra?
 
>Umbra pulls back and sighs
>"I just don't want them to be close." Umbra say
"Yeah, but why?" You ask "I don't really see the reasoning behind it."
>Umbra sits her nice ass on your lap
>"I have nothing against Eris, but I don't want her getting sexually involved with my brother." Umbra says "They can still be friends."
>You can't wrap your head around this
"I still don't understand why you don't want them to do it." You say "If those two got together, Eris would leave me alone, and Sombra would hopefully stop pursuing Ariadne."
>Umbra groans
>"I just don't want my stallion brother having sexual relations with a female Draconequus!" Umbra says "It's strange."
"Look at me! I'm not a pony!" You say "And you and me have a relationship! And we have sexy time all the time."
>That's strange and looked down upon back on earth
>"T-That's different!" Umbra says before adverting her gaze from yours
"How is that different?!" You ask
>"Because!" Umbra says
"Because what?!" You ask "That's not a good answer!"
>Umbra lets out a small scream of irritation
>"Any thing I say is a good answer!" Umbra says "This is my empire!"
"Oh no. You are not pulling the queen card tonight!"
>Umbra moves her face closer to yours
>"Are you trying to argue with me, my love?" Umbra asks "Are we really going to argue about my brother and Eris engaging in sexual activities?"
>You shrug
"I wouldn't call it arguing." You says "You just haven't given me a good answer."
>"And even if I did give give you a good answer, then what?" Umbra asks "You saw how Sombra acted when she hit on you both! He doesn't want her either!"
 
>She has you beat there
>Sombra just had that look on his face that said "No way!"
>"Well, Anonymous?" Umbra says "No comeback? Are you done? I'd like to get in bed and cuddle up to you."
>She so damn confident she won this!
"Hold on, give me a moment."
>Dammit she has you in a corner
>Looking up at her, she has a smug look on her face
>Think of something dammit!
"Well, That could change over time." You say "Maybe Sombra will want to try new things?"
>Umbra shakes her head
>She's not even going to tell you why?
"And why do you say that?"
>"I think I would know my own brother, Anonymous," Umbra says "That's just how he is."
"Well, shit!" You say "Who's to say Eris won't just go against you?!"
>Umbra actually thinks about that
>"She won't." Umbra says confidently "Eris may act childish, but she is not a rapist."
>You roll your eyes
"Could have fooled me..." You say "I still want to know why-!?"
>Umbra takes you by surprise by planting her lips on yours
>Is this how she plans to shut you up?!
>You end up giving in and you return the kiss
>You're so weak
>When she pulls away, Umbra lays her chin down on you
>"Can we not do this anymore?" Umbra asks in a low tone "It was fun at first, but now it feels like we're fighting, and I don't want that..."
 
>Her eyes hold a little bit of sadness in them as they look up at you
>Dammit, you want to keep talking about this just because it bugs you
>But Umbra is your marefriend and you can clearly see that the thought of an actual verbal fight between you two scares her
>You're the only person she's ever been in a relationship, so you can understand why she's scared
>Maybe you should just drop it for now
>You reach up and rub her right ear
>This causes her to smile and lean into your hand
"Umbra, I told you we aren't arguing." You say "It was just bugging me that you wouldn't let Eris date your brother."
>She looks at you with worried puppy eyes
"You know I would never be angry at you." You say "I love you, and I would never make you think we're fighting."
>That seems to help Umbra relax as she lets out a relived sigh
>"I don't want to fight with you, my love." Umbra says "Eris is different. She's not a pony and she's not like you. I think I'm just being overprotective of my brother."
>You pull Umbra into a hug
"It's okay, you're being like that because you just got him back."
>Umbra smiles before letting out a small yawn
"Tired?"
>She nods her head
>Umbra moves around until she's laying down right next to you
>Pulling her into you again, she looks up at you
>"I love you." Umbra says
"I love you too." You say "Now let's get some sleep, we have a party to prepare for tomorrow."
>Umbra's horn begins to glow and the candles dim down
>You share a kiss and she snuggles into you before closing her eyes to sleep
>You follow shortly after
 
>It's dark
>Looking around you see nothing, but darkness
>This isn't a good start to your dream
>You walk around aimlessly for a while before you do see something off in the distance
>It looks like a sliver of light
>As you begin to walk towards it, you can't shake this feeling of dread you have
>When you get closer you the light, you start to hear noises
>It sounds like weapons clanging together
>You start to pick up the pace
>But as you run, you notice that you're not getting anywhere!
>It feels as if that light is moving further away from you
>"Oh, Anonymous..." You hear a voice say "You should have know you could never stay hidden from me..."
>That voice!
"Discord?!"
>The sound of fighting gets louder
>Not wasting any more time, you start to sprint towards the light
>"You remember me!" Discords says "That's good. I thought you forgot about me, you're best friend!"
>Panic starts to set in
>"I see you found yourself a new home." Discord says "Some new friends, a new job, and you even found yourself a cute mare."
"DISCORD!"
>"You know what would be fun? If I led Celestia and Luna here!" Discord says "That might create some fun times!"
>Kicking it into high gear, you find yourself getting closer to the light
>When you get to it, you burst through the light
>Coming out on the other side, you find yourself standing outside the castle
>Looking down the street you see Discord standing there with a smile on his face
 
>"Hello, Anon!" Discord says in such a casual tone "You're looking well!"
"Discord..."
>You take a look around
>These streets are dead
>There's not a single soul in sight
>It's just you and Discord
>There's a fog that blankets the area
>Looking back to him, you keep your guard up
>Is this really him?
>Or is he just a product of the anxiety you were feeling today?
>"That's all I get?" Discord says "I thought we were buddies?"
>You shake your head
"You can't be the real Discord." You say "You don't even know where I am, and you're not Luna. You can't enter my dreams."
>"Did you forget I'm Discord? The spirit of chaos?" He says as he pops up from behind you "I can do whatever I please!"
>You jump away from him
>Dammit what if it is him?!
>Get a hold of yourself!
>"You look scared, Anon..." Discord says "Aren't you happy to see me?"
>You ball up your fists
"Discord..." You say "Is it really you? Just tell me the truth."
>Discord think for a moment
>"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." He says while smiling at you "What do you think I am?"
>You hold your hand out
>Rebellion appears a moment later
"I'm sure your just a part of my fear." You say "The fear I hold for the real Discord finding this place."
 
>"Oh?" Discord says "How can you be so sure?"
>You slash at Discord
>Your blade goes right through him as if he were made of smoke
>You smile
>The fake Discord appears behind you
>"Now that wasn't very nice!" Discord says
"Now I know you're not him." You say "The real Discord wouldn't have let that hit him. Also you should have been hurt by it, like Celestia and Luna were.""
>You point your sword at the impostor
"I'll give you one chance to disappear."
>Dream Discord just stares at you for a second before he starts to laugh
>He just laughs and laughs
"What's so damn funny?!"
>He stops and looks over to you
>"Do you really think this will end if you can convince me not to squeal?" Discord asks "You know Celestia will keep searching for you."
>He's not talking like his usual self
"I know, and I'm prepared to do everything to stay hidden."
>"You already know she'll find this place." The impostor says "And when she does she'll bring an army, just to bring you home."
>He begins to walk up to you
>"Ponies will get hurt, and it will be all because of you..." He says "Are you prepared to live with that?"
>You remain silent as Discord walks up to you
>"But I forget, you have a kind heart." Discord says as he places a finger on your heart "And because of that kind heart, you'll come to your senses, right?"
>You swing at him again causing him to disappear
>Only this time he doesn't come back
"God dammit! Leave me alone!" You say "I'll stay and fight if I have to! I've done too much just to be taken away from this!"
>From Umbra...
"Still so stubborn, that's what I like about you, Anon!" Discord says in his usual tone "Well toot-ta-loo, Anon! I'll be seeing you real soon!"
"Wait!"
>Looking around, you don't see or hear anything
>You sigh
>Damn it, this whole thing with Discord is driving you crazy
>You need to wake up
 
>Opening your eyes you're greeted to the sight of your room
>The moon is still up, judging by the illumination
>Looking over to your side, you see Umbra sleeping soundly next to you
>You two must have shifted around while you were sleeping because your right arm is holding her close to you while her right foreleg is resting on your chest
>As her chest rises and falls, she let's out those cute little snores
>You just watch her face as she sleeps
>There's a small smile on her face as she nuzzles into you a bit more
>A smile forms on your face as you try to sneak out of bed
>You don't want to disturb her
>You lift her hoof out before shimming out of bed
>Before you fall off the edge of the bed you carefully place her hoof back down on the bed
>There
>Getting up from the bed, you walk across the cold crystal floor over to the window
>When you reach the window, you look outside at empire
>The snow dances as it falls the sky
>The street lamps illuminate the city well
>It looks so peaceful out there
>The worry you had before seems to leave you for the moment
>You sigh
>"Anonymous?" You hear Umbra say in a sleepy tone "What are you doing up?"
 
>You smile
>Even when you do your best to not to wake her, she wakes up anyways
>It's as if, if there's no warm body next to her, she'll wake up
"It's nothing." You say looking over to her "Just go back to bed."
>Umbra stares at you for a moment
>"Why are you lying to me?" Umbra asks before letting out a small yawn "I can clearly see that something is bothering you."
>This mare...
>You suddenly feel like something is pulling you around your waist
>Looking down, you see a purple ring around your waist
>"Come here, Anonymous." Umbra says as the glow around her horn makes itself present "Let's talk about it."
>You feel yourself getting pulled back to the bed
>There's no fighting it so you back up until you sit down on the edge of the bed
>The ring around your waist disappears and you feel Umbra moving around on the bed
>"Tell me, my love..." Umbra says as she sits beside you "What's keeping you from sleeping?"
>You look over to her ruby eyes and see a hint of concern in them
>You sigh
"I think I had a bad dream, in a manner of speaking."
>"Was Luna there?" Umbra asks "Was Celestia there?
>You shake your head
"No. Well... I don't know." You say "It was only Discord."
>"What?!" Umbra says
"It was just a dream one." You say to calm her down "I know because he started saying things that have been on my mind today."
>Umbra tilts her head
>"Like?" She asks
>You don't say anything
>"Anonymous?" Umbra says
"What I would do if Celestia did find the empire."
 
>"And what did you say?" Umbra asks
>Looking over to her, you can see a small bit of worry in her eyes
"I'd say I'd stay and fight." You say "There too much here for me to just leave."
>Umbra smiles
>"I like that answer." Umbra says as the worry dissipates "But I feel as if that's not the only thing you talked about."
"You can read me like a book, can't you?"
>Umbra leans in and plants a kiss on your cheek
>"Of course I can." Umbra says "You're my stallion after all."
>You smile before continuing
"He also told me about what I fear..." You say "Your ponies getting hurt because of me."
>"Anonymous, you're still worried about that?" Umbra asks "I told you, my ponies can take care of themselves..."
"I know. It's just that-"
>You're cut off as you feel Umbra hoof on your chin
>She makes you look at her before planting her lips on yours
>You feel yourself relax into the kiss before she pulls away
>"I love that you care so much about the citizens of my empire as if they were your own." Umbra says "But you needn't worry so much about it. In that chance that an invasion does happen, we have plans and ways to get ponies out of the empire and to someplace safe."
>A plan for everything, huh?
>"We may be a very fortified empire, but that doesn't mean I don't have contingency plans in case we were attacked." Umbra says "It would be foolish not to have them."
 
>You start to relax a bit as Umbra places her hoof on your chest
>"Here. Lay back down." She says as she applies pressure
>You do as told and lay back down
>When your back finally makes contact with the bed, you watch as Umbra walks over to her side again
>She lays back down before she uses her magic to wrap your arm around her
>Umbra's smile returns as she cuddles up to you again
>It's kinda funny how she just made you hold her again
>"Anonymous, listen to me." Umbra says "I can understand the uneasiness you're feeling, but you mustn't let it overtake you."
>She nuzzles up harder to you
>"When Discord comes, we'll deal with him." Umbra says "If Celestia does come, we'll deal with her."
>You chuckle
"How are you so calm?"
>"It's because I have you." Umbra says "I know that as long as you are by my side, I won't fall."
>She leans up and plants a kiss on your chin
>"So please, stop worrying." Umbra says "Whatever the future holds, we'll tackle it together."
>You sigh
>She's right, you need to stop with all the worrying
>It's fucking with you and messing with your ability to sleep
"I'm sorry, Umbra." You say "Today has just been a weird day."
>"Look forward to tomorrow." Umbra says "It'll be a fun day with a romantic evening, I'm sure of it."
>You smile
>"And you're still feeling worried tomorrow..." Umbra says "Let's just say I can help you with that."
>You chuckle and plant a kiss on her head
"So do you need to be nuzzled up to a warm body to sleep? Or am I just bad at sneaking out of bed?"
>"A little bit of both, but don't leave me alone in bed again." Umbra says "I get cold without you."
"You have fur though..."
>"Shush, Anonymous." Umbra says "Your Queen needs her beauty sleep."
>You chuckle again
>Closing your eyes, you turn on your side and hold your marefriend close to you as you drift back to sleep
 
>Morning comes as it usually does
>You didn't have another strange dream
>The only thing you dreamed of was the mare in your arms
>Opening your eyes, you find yourself pressed against Umbra's chest
>Wut?
>"You're awake..." Umbra says in a smoothing tone "And I was just getting used to this."
>You blink a few times before looking up at Umbra's smiling face
>"Did you sleep well?" Umbra asks "During the night we must have shifted around to this position."
"What time is it?"
>"It's only about seven, my love." Umbra says "I was going to let you sleep in, while I went to take a shower, but when I tried to get out of bed you pulled me back in."
>You chuckle
>"So I decide I'd stay in bed with you." Umbra says as she runs a hoof through your hair "You slept like a baby, it was cute."
>You smile before releasing your grip on her
"Thanks, Umbra." You say "I'm a lucky one to have you."
>Umbra smiles before kissing you on the forehead
>"Don't you forget it." Umbra says as she stretches
>Sitting up in bed you do the same
"Where's Ariadne?" You ask "She's usually here at this time."
>"I'm sure she'll be here soon enough." Umbra says "In the meantime, we should get ready for the day. It's a big day today!"
>Party at The Icy Gem Cavern
>This is what you need to relax
>A night with your marefriend and friends
>You see Umbra's horn light up before a purple ring appears around your wrist
>"And what better way to get ready than to shower together!" Umbra says as she hops of the bed "Come now, my love!"
>You don't get a chance to question anything as she tugs you off the bed and to the bathroom
 
>After getting cleaned up with Umbra, you both exited the bathroom and got dressed
>While you did Ariadne finally showed up
>As Ariadne tended to her chores, you look over to Umbra
"So Umbra, what's the plan for today?" You ask as you slip your vest on
>"We'll eat breakfast, and then after that I have to attend to day court." Umbra says "You don't need to stay if you don't want to."
>You might, you don't know yet
>"Then after that I'll most likely get Ariadne and myself ready for the party." Umbra says "For that, you'll have to go find something to do."
>"And Eris too! We have to get her ready for the party!" Ariadne says "Right, Lady Umbra?"
>Umbra nods her head as she locks the piece around her neck
"You're not gonna let me change here?"
>"Nope!" Umbra says "I'll give you your clothes so you can change at Lance's house or in Sombra's room."
>"You can't see us until it's time!" Ariadne says in her happy tone "It's a surprise."
>Well then, you might as well head to Lance's then
>You sigh as you fasten your tie
>As Umbra slips on her crown, Ariadne finishes her chores
>"Now then why don't we wake up the other two?" Umbra says "Then we can all head down to get some breakfast."
>Nodding your head you all head out
 
>You, Umbra, and Ariadne proceeded to wake up Eris and Sombra
>Eris was sleeping like a rock when you walked into her room
>You all had to shake her awake
>When she finally did get up she said something about you kissing her would have woken her up faster
>It was then that Umbra forced her to kiss a pillow
>You're sure she would have smothered Eris, had you not been there to stop her
>Sombra was already awake when you and your gang walked in
>He was staring out the window until he turned to look at Ariadne
>He told her not to worry her little head about fixing his room because he had already did it for her
>Ariadne said he didn't have to, but that she was grateful none the less
>You swear you saw Sombra's face light up before it returned to normal
>Now with those two in tow, you all headed down to the dining room for breakfast
>Sombra sat next to you while Eris sat next to Ariadne
>And Umbra was at the head of the table
>You all had a nice breakfast with each of you getting something different
>As you ate you couldn't help, but notice the company you were eating with
>It's like a little crazy family
>Anyway after breakfast you decide to hang around and watch as Umbra did day court
>There were a few more ponies today because she cancelled it yesterday
>Not much happened during day court either
>And finally when that was said and done, you and Umbra returned to your room to gather your things for tonight
>Ariadne and Eris had also followed you back as well
"So what time to you want us to come?" You ask as you make sure you have everything you need
>"About seven?" Umbra says "I have to get both of them and myself ready for you and the boys tonight."
"Alright, I'll see you again at seven."
>Umbra stands up and gives you a goodbye kiss before you head out
>Leaving the castle you make your way over to Lance's
 
>Arriving at Lance's house you walk up and knock on the door
>Soon enough you hear hoovesteps approach the door
>When the door opens up it reveals Wedge, not Lance
>"Oh hey, Anon!" Wedge says "Did Queen Umbra kick you out of the castle?"
>You nod your head
"What are you doing here?"
>"I figured since our dates live together, I'd go with Lance to pick them up." Wedge says before moving out of the way "Here come on in."
>Heading inside Lance's house you hear him talking with his sister
>"Alright Cynthia, now you behave for Ms. Mabelbottom, alright?" Lance says "She's doing me a huge favor."
>"I know, I know." Cynthia says "She's taking care of me so you can be all kissy kissy with Ariadne!"
>Clever girl
>Lance blushes before scratching the back of his head
>"W-Well that's part of it." Lance says "L-Look just behave okay?! I'll pick you up tomorrow when I get up."
>Cynthia smiles and nods her head before following her brother
>As they walk by the door Cynthia flies up and gives you a hug
>"Hi Anon!" Cynthia says "Can you make sure my brother doesn't act like a dummy tonight?"
"I promise." You say while nodding your head
>Cynthia smiles before Lance speaks up
>"I'll be right back you guys, I have to drop her off." Lance says "Make yourselves at home."
>With that the two of them exit the house
 
>As the door closes behind him, you turn to Wedge
"You mind if I get changed in the living room?"
>Wedge shrugs
>"Hey I don't care, You've already changed in front of me before." Wedge says "Just make sure you close the curtains."
>Nodding your head you walk over to the living room
>Throwing your suit on the couch, you start to get changed
>"So are you excited for tonight?" Wedge asks as he takes a seat
"Yeah, I can't wait to see what Umbra's going to look like." You say as you begin to take your shirt off "How about you?"
>"I'm a little nervous." Wedge says "I mean how do you even go about taking a female Draconequus out on a date?"
"I'm sure you'll do fine."
>Wedge thinks to himself for a moment
>"You think she's nervous?" Wedge asks
>Unlikely, but it'd be funny to see
"Maybe." You say as you switch your pants "She's never been on a date."
>Wedge smiles before you hear a knock at the door
>"I got it!" Wedge says as he gets up
>Sitting down on a chair you put your shoes back on
>Wedge returns a short time later with Biggs in tow
 
>"Hey Anon." Biggs says as he walks into the living room
>He's got his things for the party in his magical grip
>You nod your head towards him as he takes a seat on the couch
>Wedge goes and takes a seat on a chair
"You didn't grab Eliza yet?" You ask as you move to the couch
>You look down to your undershirt and jacket
>No need to fully get dressed yet
>Now that you look at it, your ensemble for tonight is pretty simple
>Black slacks along with your black dress shoes
>A red undershirt with thin black stripes across it
>And lastly the black suit jacket
>No tie of any kind tonight, you're leaving the collar open tonight to show some chest for Umbra
>This would not work if you were still thin as twig
>Guess you have Arthas to thank for that
>"Nah, I still have to get ready myself. Besides, we're all getting dressed here" Biggs says as he places his things off to the side "Looks like you and I shared the same idea to get ready here."
"Umbra kicked me out." You say before chuckling "She didn't want me to see her or Ariadne and Eris getting ready."
>Biggs chuckles before Wedge gets back up
>"Well shit, I might as well grab my stuff then." Wedge says as he walks over to the front door "I'll be right back!"
>The door closes behind him and a moment later, Lance comes back
>"Okay, Cynthia is taken care of so I should be good for tonight." Lance says as he walks into the living room "Oh hey, Biggs."
>He looks over to you
>"You gonna put your shirt on?" He asks
"In time."
>"Ah, just the stallion I wanted to talk to!" Biggs says
>Lance raises an eyebrow
>"We need to talk about tonight." Biggs says "What's your game plan?"
 
>Lance blushes a bit
>"The game plan is to go out and have a fun night out with Ariadne." Lance says
>"That's it?" Biggs asks "Are you kidding me?"
>Lance shakes his head
>"Of course not." Lance says "I'm going for it tonight!"
>Biggs smiles
>"I sent Cynthia to her friend's house in case we came back here tonight." Lance says "But I kind of want to go back to the castle."
"Really? Why?"
>Lance turns around
>"I want Lord Sombra to know that Ariadne is my marefriend." Lance says
>You and Biggs look at each other
>"That's pretty ballsy." Biggs says "I didn't know you had it in you."
"Just try not to provoke him."
>Biggs looks back to you
>"Although I don't think he'll hear you if our Queen and her human go at it tonight." Biggs says before raising his eyebrows at you
>You smile
>"Eh, if he does or doesn't, I don't really care." Lance says "I just want to get closer with Ariadne. What about you?"
>"Well Eliza and I have already admitted we liked each other for a while." Biggs says "So even though this is our first date, whatever happens, happens."
>"I just hope you don't go back to your place." Lance says "You don't want to wake your mom up."
>Biggs sighs
>"I told you, you could come move in with me." Lance says "You can take my old room, and Cynthia would like having you around."
>You hear the door open and in comes Wedge with his clothes on his back
>"Wedge. Game plan. Tonight. Go!" Biggs says
>"I don't know." Wedge says "Go out and show Eris a good time, as friends."
>"So no tail for you tonight?" Lance asks
>"I told you guys this already!" Wedge says "I don't know!"
"In any case, I think we should all get ready."
>Your friends nod their heads as you all start to get ready
>You wonder how it's going with Umbra
 
>"OWWW!" Eris cries out
"Eris, will you hold still!?" You say "Then it won't hurt as bad!"
>You are Umbra
>Right now you're trying to help Eris with her hair
>Unfortunately she's never done anything to take care of her hair, so you're running into knots
>"Why do I have to style my hair again?!" Eris asks as she wipes a tear away from her eye
"You want to look nice for Wedge tonight, don't you?" You ask "That's why Ariadne and myself have been getting ready. So we can look nice for our dates."
>"But I already have my dress!" Eris says "Isn't that enough?"
>You look over to Ariadne who is examining the dress
>It's a cute black sundress that Eris just made with her magic
>She tried it on for you and Ariadne to judge
>It traveled down enough to cover her bottom area
>You deemed it acceptable if you could style her mane
>"D-Do you think Wedge will like it?" Eris asks as her cheeks turn a little pink "I hope he does."
>What this?
"I'm sure he'll find you beautiful tonight." You reassure her "Tell me, Eris... Are you nervous?"
>Looking at the mirror, you see her eyes dart around as if she's trying to come up with something to say
"It's okay to be nervous, Eris." You say "You aren't the only one."
>You look over at Ariadne who is brushing her mane
>"Yeah, Eris!" Ariadne says "I'm nervous too!"
>"You don't sound like it." Eris says before letting out a sigh "Umbra?"
>You raise an eyebrow before looking
"What is it, Eris?"
>"Well after tonight, do I repay him for taking me out?" Eris asks "With fun time? I don't know, I've never done this before."
 
>You're somewhat stunned
"O-Oh well, um..." You say as you try to think of something "It's up to Wedge really."
>Eris starts to think to herself
"Now that doesn't mean I want you forcing yourself on him." You say "No mind control either."
>Finally you don't feel any resistance from her hair
>"I wouldn't do that to him..." Eris says "He's one of the first ponies to be so nice to me, besides you and Anon."
>Eris looks at your eyes using the mirror
>"I-Is it okay if I bring him back here?" Eris asks "I-In case he wants to, of course!"
>You think to yourself
>You know this is going to be a night of passion for you and your beloved
>So nothing will really bother you
"I suppose if Wedge wants to." You say "Then you can bring him back."
>Eris smiles and you look over to Ariadne
>She is humming a little tune as she brushes her mane
>You take a look at her dress which is lying right next to her
>Her dress is the same color as her mane
>Along the middle and back is a red bow
"How's everything going, Ariadne?" You ask as you finally get to experiment with Eris's hair
>"Good!" She says with a smile "It feels like I have butterflies in my tummy!"
>You smile
"You're just excited for tonight."
>"So Ariadne, any plans for your coltfriend tonight?" Eris asks "You going to do something special too?"
 
>Ariadne's cheeks light up
>"I-I don't know w-what you're t-talking about, E-Eris!" Ariadne tries to say "W-We're just going to h-have a nice night o-out!"
>"She's so pure. It's cute." Eris says to you before she looks back to Ariadne "And I think you do know what I'm talking about."
>You smile
"Ariadne, it's okay." You say to calm her down "Just listen to your heart. If you feel like your relationship with Lance is ready to evolve, go for it, I won't stop you."
>Ariadne smiles at you before relaxing
>"Thank you, Lady Umbra..." Ariadne says "I-Is it okay if Lance comes here tonight? He doesn't have to watch his sister."
>You chuckle
>This is your home, yet these two want to bring their dates here for a fun night
>Ariadne and Lance shouldn't bother you either
"If Eris is allowed to bring Wedge, I don't see why you can't bring Lance." You say "But they have to return home after breakfast, understood?"
>Both Eris and Ariadne nod their heads before you all go back to getting ready
>It warms your heart to see these two so nervous and excited about tonight
>It's going to be a fun night
>When you finish doing Eris's hair, you hear a knock at the door
>You had said no disturbances
"Yes? What is it?"
>The door opens and one of your maids step inside
>"Lady Umbra? A Ms. Eliza has arrived." The maid says "She said she was accompanying you to the party?"
>Oh, Biggs's date
"Let her in."
>The maid nods her head before moving out of the way
>In comes Eliza already looking ready for the party
 
>"Good evening, Queen Umbra." Eliza says before bowing to you "I hope you don't mind my intrusion."
>Looking at her she's wearing an elegant white cocktail dress
>It almost blends into her fur
>She has a golden belt that matches her mane going around it
>Her mane is curled and is resting on the left side of her head
"It's quite alright, Eliza." You say before switching seats with Eris "Thank you for coming."
>"I figured it would be easier for the boys if we all we're here." She says "Then you wouldn't have to stop on the way to get me."
"That's very considerate of you." You say as you begin to fix your mane "Are you excited for tonight?"
>"Of course, my Queen." Eliza says, nodding her head "I finally get to go on a date with the stallion I've had my eye on for a while."
>You smile before looking back into your mirror
"Well, just let me and these two get ready." You say "Then we can head down to the main hall and wait for our dates to arrive."
>Eliza nods her head before walking over to Ariadne and Eris who are putting their dresses on
>"You two look nice!" Eliza says
>While the girls talk among themselves you get to work on getting ready
 
>As you begin to fix up your mane you think about how the night will go
>You won't even be paying attention to the others as soon as you get with Anonymous
>Eating, Drinking, Dancing, and the best part coming when you return to the castle
>Putting down your brush, you look at yourself in the mirror
>You have it so that your mane is covering your left eye
>The only thing that can ruin tonight is if Celestia herself was at the party
>You smile as you put on your necklace made of red crystals
>If only she could see the night you have planned for Anonymous
>It would drive her mad
>Getting up from your seat, you make your way over to the bed
>Slipping on your dress, you walk over and check yourself out in the mirror
>Doing a few poses, you think to yourself
>You look good
>"Wow, Umbra." Eris says "If that doesn't knock Anon's socks off, I don't know what will!"
>You laugh before looking at Eris
"Thank you, Eris." You say "Are we all ready?"
>The girls nod their head
"Then lets get going, it's almost seven."
>Heading out into the hallway, you see Sombra coming out of your study with some books in tow
"Sombra, we're heading out." You say, walking up to him "Will you be alright by yourself?"
>Sombra nods his head
>"Yes, I will be alright." He says "You look beautiful, sister."
"Thank you, Sombra." You say as you walk past him
>"Enjoy yourselves!" Sombra says as you head down the stairs "Especially you, Ariadne!"
>You shake your head before heading down into the main hall
 
>You are Anon
>Standing in the living room you had finally put on your shirt a while ago
>Now you're slipping on your suit jacket
>You're friends are doing the same in different parts of the house
>Lance is in his room
>Wedge is in the bathroom
>And Biggs is with you in the living room
>As you finish up the last touches to your outfit, you turn around to see Biggs fixing his mane in the mirror
>"Alright! I think I'm all set!" Biggs says as he turns around "How do I look, Anon?"
>He's got a black coat on like you, except he has a light blue undershirt
>His mane is looking as fresh as always
"You look good!"
>Wedge comes out of the bathroom wearing his gray jacket with a purple undershirt
>"Verdict?" Wedge asks you two
>You give him a thumbs up before looking over at the clock
>6:30
"Lance! Let's go!"
>"I'm coming!" You hear him yell
>Looking towards the stairs you see Lance fly down
>He's got on a red jacket with a pink undershirt on
"Alright, we all look good for our dates!"
>You extend your fist out
>You friends follow suit and place their hoof on your hand
"Let's have fun tonight." You say "Forget about everything and enjoy yourselves."
>Your friends all smile before you throwing your hand and hooves into the air
>Turning around you head out the door and towards the castle
 
>As you approach the castle, you can't help but feel cool with your friends
>You're all looking fresh as fuck
>Looking up at the sky, you notice that the sun is making it's descent
>You can't really see the sun, but it is getting darker outside that's how you know
>Arriving at the castle, you turn to address your friends once more
"Aright, this is it guys."
>Smiles are etched on their face as you open the doors to the castle
>Walking into the main hall, you take a look around
>No one is here
>"Maybe they're still getting ready?" Wedge asks
>"Anon, go check." Biggs says
"Wait what?"
>"No need!" You hear Umbra call out "You're right on time!"
>Looking over towards the steps that lead to her throne room you see the girls standing at the top
>Every single one of them look great
>Especially Umbra
>"Hi Lance!" Ariadne says as she walks down the stairs
>"Wow..." Lance says as he walks up to her "H-Hey Ariadne."
>While they talk Eliza comes down to Biggs
>"What are you doing here?" Biggs asks
>"I thought I'd come over so you didn't have to stop by and get me." Eliza says "So how do I look?"
>"Cute." Biggs says
>Next Eris comes down for Wedge
>"Uh, Hi Wedge." Eris says "You look nice."
>Wedge looks like he didn't expect her to look this good
>"You t-too..." Wedge says "You look cute too, I mean."
>With your friends all preoccupied you make your way up the stairs for your date
 
>When you reach the top, you kneel down
"Good evening, Queen Umbra." You say while taking her hoof "Might I be the first to tell you how beautiful you look tonight?"
>You plant a kiss on her hoof, which causes her to giggle
>"Oh Anonymous, you flatterer you." Umbra says "I assume you are to be my date, this fine evening?"
"If I may be so lucky, but I feel I am not worthy." You say before standing back up "You really do look beautiful, Umbra."
>You look over to her slightly exposed right leg
>For some strange reason it's getting you excited
>Maybe this mare knows what'll get to you before you do
"I'm really like your dress." You say "It looks really good on you."
>Umbra blushes
>"And you look incredibly handsome." Umbra says "I like this little window that shows off your chest."
"All for you, my Queen."
>Umbra looks up at you
>"I see you did a good job with the boys." Umbra says before looking at your friends "They all look nice."
>You look back to your friends
"I really didn't do much." You say "I take it, it was a different story with the girls?"
>Umbra smiles and nods her head
>"You have no idea..." Umbra says "And it was only because of Eris."
>You chuckle
>"Ready to go, my love?" Umbra says "I want to get started with this evening."
>You move out of her way
"Lead the way, my love."
>Umbra plants a kiss on your cheek before heading down the stairs
>"Okay everypony, let's get going!" Umbra says as she heads towards the door
 
>Exiting the castle you all make your way to The Icy Gem Cavern
>"Oh this is going to be so much fun!" Umbra says as you walk besides her "I can't wait for you to see the inside of it!"
"I can tell!" You say as you try and keep up "You've been pulling me ever since we left!"
>You don't mind it though
>Your friends chat with their dates along the way
>"You sure you don't want me to change into a mare?" Eris asks Wedge "Ponies are gonna give you some strange looks."
>"Let them." Wedge says "I asked Eris The Draconequus out, not Eris The Mare."
>You glance back to see Eris with a smile on her face
>"I still can't believe I get to go to The Icy Gem Cavern!" Eliza says "And with the Queen no less!"
>"I'm really glad I got Anon as a teammate." Biggs says "Otherwise this wouldn't be happening."
>You chuckle
>"S-So did you ask Queen Umbra if I could stay? F-For the night?" Lance asks "J-Just in case w-we..."
>"Y-Yes." Ariadne says "But s-she said you have to go after b-breakfast."
>That works for him, he has to get his sister anyways
>Continuing on, you find yourself in the high end district
>The streets are a little more crowded tonight
>Granted, they clear out of your way when they see Eris
>"We're here!" Umbra says as you turn a corner
>And there you see it
>The Icy Gem Cavern
>The outside of the building is lit up with an assortment of lights
>You notice that there are an awful lot of ponies out here
>"Looks like my citizen found out about our party tonight." Umbra says "Oh well, so long as they don't bother us it should be fine."
>Following Umbra, she leads you all to the doors
 
>The citizens waiting outside don't hesitate on letting Umbra know how good she looks
>It all high class ponies too
>Approaching the doors, Umbra uses her magic to open the doors
>Right as she does, you hear a roar of applause erupt from inside
"It looks like they were expecting us." You say jokingly
>Umbra looks over to you and smiles
>"Thank you, thank you!" You hear a pony say as the applause start to die own "That was just the first of our acts tonight! As we wait for the arrival of the lovely Queen Umbra, we want to play a little something for you all."
>You hear some shuffling around before the sound of music begins to fill the air
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glz5b_lY_Ug [Embed]
>"Well I suppose we don't keep them waiting." Umbra says as she walks inside
>Following her inside, you take a look around
>You're standing in a medium size circle room
>The walls are black and there's a blue rug below under your feet
>There's a pony manning a podium in front of you
>And next to that podium is a blue velvet rope that blocks entry into the club
>There are a few more ponies around here, most likely waiting to get inside
>"Even if you're able to sneak in, you still have to get past this guy." Biggs says "This place really is hard to get into in."
>When he looks up from his book, a smile forms on his face
>"Queen Umbra! You've finally arrived!" The pony says before turning to the others ponies in front of you "Make way for your Queen!"
>The ponies nod their heads before moving out of the way
>Your party follows Umbra up to the podium
>"Is this all of them?" The pony asks
>"Yes." Umbra says with a nod
>The pony nods before hopping off his podium
>"Then allow me to show you your table." The pony says before moving the velvet rope out of the way
 
>"Oooooooh!" Eliza says "Biggs, this is it!"
>Passing the velvet rope, you step into The Icy Gem Cavern with Umbra and your friends
>The music gets louder as you finally get a look at the interior of the place
>Wow this place is cool
>There's a stage with an assortment of instruments and ponies playing them
>In front of the stage is a dance floor
>And around that dance floor are a bunch of tables with ponies seated at them
>You look back to see Ariadne and Lance with a look of astonishment on their faces
>"Whoa..." Lance says "So this is what this place looks like."
>"It's so pretty..." Ariadne says
>The lights give this place a cool blue setting
>Almost like you are inside a cavern
>Fuck, it's cold enough to be like one
>Looking around to the left you see a red neon sign
>The Gates of Tartarus
>There's a brown stallion manning the bar
>When he sees you looking at him he starts to move from the bar
>"Come on, Anonymous." Umbra says "Don't fall behind."
>Turning around you follow Umbra and the pony up a small set of stairs
>Reaching the top of the stairs, you find yourself in a secluded area on the right side of the club
>It's a medium sized area overlooking the stage and dance floor
>There's a long blue couch that goes around the wall and a table with some chairs in front of it
>"Here we are, my Queen." The pony says before stepping out of the way "Your private area."
 
>Umbra looks around before turning to the pony
>"Thank you." Umbra says "This will do."
>"The pleasure is all mine, my Queen." The pony says
>"I assume Rodin is on his way to speak to me?" Umbra asks
>He nods his head
>"He wishes to meet your beloved." The pony says before turning around "Excuse me, I must fetch your menus."
>As the pony heads down the steps, your party spreads out around the area
>Your friends all walk over to the railing
>"Come, Anonymous." Umbra says "Let's sit down while they look out at the restaurant."
>Following Umbra, she leads you to the table
>Umbra takes a seat and you sit next to her
"This place is really fancy." You say as you throw your arm around her
>"I'm glad you like it." Umbra says "I figured it'd be the perfect spot for a date."
>You smile before pulling her in
>Umbra smiles before nuzzling up against you
"Any idea why this Rodin wants to meet me?"
>"He's just an old friend who wants to see who snagged me from every stallion in the empire." Umbra says, looking at you "Don't take anything he says too seriously."
>You raise an eyebrow at her
>"He's a strange one." Umbra says "You'll see."
>"Maybe after we eat, we can go dance?" Biggs asks "That could be fun."
>"I'd like that." Eliza says
>You look over to Umbra
"How about it?" You ask "You want to dance after we eat?"
>"Of course I do!" Umbra says as she plants a kiss on your lips
>You chuckle before you hear hoofsteps coming up the steps
>Looking over, you see that brown stallion from before make his way up
 
>When he reaches the top of the steps, you can finally get a better look at the guy
>Brown stallion, has a strange black tattoo on the side of his head, and he's wearing sunglasses
>Why does it look like there's a red glow behind them?
>And something is off about him
>Like he's not a pony...
>He's got a stylish gray jacket on and a giant gold necklace around his neck
>You see in his magical grip he's hold a very fancy looking bottle that hold a bright red liquid and two margarita glasses
>"Ah if it isn't my favorite mare in the empire." Rodin says as he approaches you and Umbra "How the evening going so far?"
>"It's going good." Umbra says "We're just waiting for our waiter to bring us our menus."
>Umbra nuzzles up to you a little bit more as Rodin places the bottle and glasses down
>"You must be the lucky stallion..." Rodin says before extending his hoof "Name's Rodin."
>You reach out and shake his hoof
"Anonymous, or Anon for short."
>"Nice to meet you, Anon." Rodin says before looking to Umbra "I made a special drink for you two."
>"How special are we talking?" Umbra asks as she levitates the bottle over to her "I like how it glows."
>"It's just something I whipped up. I call it Lovers Kiss." Rodin says "Figured I let the Queen and her stallion be the first to try it before I start making more of it."
>Umbra undoes the top of it before smelling it
>"Smells fruity." Umbra says before moving it to your nose "What do you think?"
>You take a whiff
"Yeah, it does smell fruity." You say "And really strong."
>Umbra moves the bottle over to the glass before pouring you both some
>She places the cup down and passes you your glass
>"Enjoy it you two." Rodin says as he turns around "I'll send some more glasses for your party."
>And with that he heads off
"He seems nice."
>Umbra chuckles
>"He is when you get to know him." Umbra says before raising her glass
>You toast before you and Umbra down the fruity drink
 
>The cold liquid travel into your mouth and down your throat
>Along the way it feels like it's electrifying your mouth
>It taste so good
>Almost like a mix of strawberries, cherries, and something else...
>It's so cold almost like a slushie
>You wipe your mouth when you finish your drink
>Putting the glass down, you see your breath as you sigh
>Man that was really good
>You shake your head
>Wait
>Why does your body feel so warm?
>Not hot, just warm
>You look over to Umbra
>What's going on?
>She look so good
>The longer your eyes are on her, the more your mind goes into a frenzy
>As she finishes the rest of her drink, she places her glass down
>"That was... Something else." Umbra says with a satisfied sigh as she looks over to you "Don't you think, my love?"
>You both just stare into each other eyes
"I think there was something else in that drink..."
>You move in a bit closer
>"I know." Umbra says "I think there's an aphrodisiac mixed in."
>Umbra moves her face closer to yours
>"I don't think we should drink anymore for now." Umbra says "Otherwise we might not be able to control ourselves."
"Agreed."
>Umbra smile before planting a kiss on your lips
>Upon hearing hoof steps you look over to see the waiter return with some menus and glasses in his magical grip
 
>"I have returned with your menus." The pony says "Along with some additional glasses for your party."
>He walks over to your table, and places them down
>"Lady Umbra!" Ariadne says as she eyes the bottle "This is so pretty! Can I have some?"
>"It looks delicious!" Eliza says
>Eris stands up to look over them
>Eris actually looks curious about the drink
>You look over to Umbra
>She has a sly smile on her face
>"Not right now, Ariadne." Umbra says "This is a special drink for when we are about to leave."
>Oh?
>So she is planning on giving them some
>Even when she know what effect it'll have on them
>"But you and Anon were just drinking it..." Ariadne says
>"That because we were told that we were going to be the first to try it." Umbra says "But when we did we realized it might be a little too strong to start the evening with."
>Ariadne looks like she understands before she takes her seat
>"It does look kinda cool." Biggs says as him, Wedge, and Lance start to examine the bottle "What did it taste like, Anon?"
>You smile
"I can't even really describe it." You say to them "I can only tell you that you're gonna feel great afterwards."
>Your friends all look at each other with confusion
"Trust me, it's gonna blow you away." You say "But as Umbra said it's best we have it at the end of the night."
>They all shrug before taking your seat
 
>"I shall give you some time to think about what you want to order." The pony says "Will you need anything else, my Queen?"
>"Can you bring us a bottle of your finest wine?" Umbra asks
>"And Cider?" Biggs asks "Sorry, Queen Umbra. I'm just not a wine type of guy."
>"It's quite alright." Umbra says "And a bottle of your finest cider."
>The pony nods before taking off
>"Go ahead and order what ever your heart desires." Umbra says to all of you "The bill is on me."
>Everyone goes about and starts to look through the menus
>Umbra pretty much recommended that you get the fancy ass steak with her, since everything else was food for ponies
>You didn't mind so you said okay
>Eventually the pony returned bringing the wine and cider before taking your orders and heading off again
>Applause erupts again as the band finishes up their current song
>You and Umbra got up and walked over to the balcony this time
>"Thank you." The pony on the stage says before he looks up at you and Umbra "Ah! Our fair Queen! Did you enjoy the performance?"
>Umbra nods her head before waving to the ponies below
>"Hey are you ready?" The pony onstage asks the one manning the piano "Now is your chance."
>The pianist nods his head
>"Queen Umbra! We have a special treat for you!" The pony says "Our pianist has been working on a special song for you!"
>"Oh?" Umbra says "Well then by all means."
 
>The pianist takes a deep breath before nodding his head
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj4Y2ut8uPo [Embed]
>This sounds familer to you
>It seems like this is a song only for the pianist as his band mates watch on
>You hear sounds of awe coming from the audience already as the pianist starts to get into it
>Thanks to him being a unicorn it seems easier for him to hit all these keys
>Looking over to Umbra you can see her moving her head with the song
>"I like this..." Umbra says "I think I could actually fight to this."
>You look to her backside which is slightly shaking with the music
>She's trying really hard not break into a dance
>You smile
"You know you can dance if you want." You say "I doubt anyone will stop you."
>"I know that." Umbra says "It's just with this dress on, I can't get as wild as I would like."
>You chuckle before looking down at the stage
>You notice that as the song goes on the pianist's attitude starts to intensify
>He's getting really into the song
>He gets up from his seat as he continues to play
>Looks like he's starting to reach the climax
>With a flurry of movements he finishes the song
>Silence fills the room
>The pianist backs up from the piano and tries to catch his breath
>A roar of applause erupts once more, and even you and Umbra clap
>The pianist takes a bow, before looking up to Umbra
>"I loved it!" Umbra says "I'm flattered that you would compose such a piece for me!"
>"That was just a sample, my Queen!" He says "I plan to implement more instruments with the help of my associates to make it even better."
>"Well in that case, I want to be the very first to hear it." Umbra says
>The pianist nods before taking a seat on piano bench
>"Another round of ovation for our pianist and leader!" The pony on the mic says "We will return to playing, after a short intermission."
>As the room applauds him once more and you all return to your seat
>Just in time too, because your waiter returns with your food in his magic
 
>The waiter pony places your plates down
>Ariadne and Eliza both got delicious looking salad bowls filled with veggies
>Lance, Biggs, and Wedge all got hay burgers like the ones Twilight would should you
>You find it strange that a place as high class as this would even serve that kind of thing
>Eris got herself a large piece of steak, as did you and Umbra
>The only difference is that you and Umbra are sharing your meal
>She would cut you a piece before feeding it to you
>And you would do the same for her
>Eris made fun of you
>As you eat with your friends, you all chat with one another while drinking
>You notice that the girls are drinking the wine while you guys drink the cider
>You, Biggs, and Wedge had to watch over Lance so he wouldn't get shit faced
>He didn't even drink that much, maybe only two glasses
>Unfortunately the cider was starting to hit you and Biggs more
>You weren't acting like a fool, but you guys were starting to loosen up
>The same could be said for the girls
>During this the band got back up on stage and started to play another tune
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWeC1OmMliY [Embed]
>Downing your glass of cider you looking over Biggs
"Hit me."
>"Dear, I think you two need to slow it down." Umbra says as she takes your glass from you "Eliza and I still want our dance."
>"Speaking of which, wanna go dance, Ariadne?" Lance asks as he wipes his mouth "Since we're done eating?"
>Ariadne nods her head before pulling him out of his chair
>You see Wedge awkwardly look over to Eris
>"W-Wanna try to dance?" Wedge asks
>Eris slowly nods her head
>"I don't know how to d-dance though." Eris says
>"I-I'll show you." Wedge says as they get out of their seats
"But Umbra, I'm good!"
 
>Umbra just stares at you before giggling
>"Yeah, me too!" Biggs says
>You and Biggs laugh before hoof bumping
>Umbra shakes her head
>"Biggs, you and Anon have downed half the bottle of that cider." Eliza says "Poor Wedge hasn't even gotten a third glass."
>Biggs groans
>You pinch the bridge of your nose and shake your head
"You're right." You say "I don't want to drink too much until you had fun tonight."
>Umbra smiles before planting a kiss on your cheek
>"You're so considerate." Umbra says "Don't worry, we can drink later."
>Her eyes look over to the bottle of Lover's Kiss
>"I guess Anon has a point." Biggs says while looking at Eliza "I don't want to ruin this date for you."
>Biggs get's up from his seat
>"Come on. Eliza." Biggs says with a smile "Let's go dance."
>A smile forms on Eliza's face as she gets up
>As they head down the stairs, you turn to look at Umbra
>She has an expectant look on her face
>She's waiting for you to ask her to dance
>Time to mess with her
>You look down to your partially eaten dinner
"This is a pretty good steak." You say "We should finish it."
>Almost instantly that expectant look is change to an irritated look
>You chuckle before booping her snout
"I'm kidding." You say "Come on, let's go join them on the dance floor."
>Umbra smiles before pulling you down the stairs with her magic
 
>Walking down the steps, you continue to follow Umbra down to the dance floor
>"This is going to be so much fun." Umbra says "It'll be like the night of the festival."
>So it's gonna be more slow dancing?
>You can handle that
>Looking on you can see your friends dancing with their dates
>Ariadne and Lance look at peace as they slowly sway to the music
>Their eyes are closed and there cheeks are touching
>Biggs and Eliza are looking into each others eyes as they dance
>Looks like they're talking
>And then you see Wedge and Eris
>The size difference is not helping them
>Eris is holding Wedge's hooves as he tries to explain to her what they're going to do
>Eris's face just holds a blank expression and Wedge is blushing
>When you finally reach the dance floor, ponies make space for you and Umbra
>They didn't have to, but you don't mind
>Umbra spins around and smiles at you
>"Ready?" Umbra asks
>Looking around you see that all eyes are on you
>Yup, it's just like that night
"Yeah, I'm ready."
>Umbra holds her hoof out and you help her up so that her fore legs can rest on our shoulders
>She may be just a bit smaller than Celestia, but that's a good thing
>"There." Umbra says as she looks into your eyes "Ready my love?"
"Always."
>While the band continues to play, you and Umbra begin to dance to the music
 
>While you dance with Umbra, the two of continue to keep eye contact
>It doesn't even feel like anyone is around you
>Just you and her
"This is nice."
>Umbra smiles
>"It is, isn't it?" Umbra says "Tell me, have you thought about Discord at all today?"
>You shake your head
"No." You say shaking your head "I've only thought about you and tonight."
>"That's how it should be." Umbra says "When you're not plagued by worry it's much easier to have fun."
>It is much easier to relax
"You're right about that."
>Umbra smiles before you look around at your friends
"Are you serious about giving them some of that drink that Rodin gave us?"
>Umbra smiles
>"Anonymous, the girls were asking me if they could bring the boys back to the castle." Umbra says "I said it was fine."
"Really?"
>Umbra nods her head
>"What did your friends tell you was their plan for tonight?" Umbra says "I pretty sure they said the same thing."
>You nod your head
>"See?" Umbra says "I figured we just give them a drink of it and see what happens."
>You chuckle
"It feels like we're drugging them."
>Umbra giggles
>"Don't think of it like that." Umbra says "Think of it as we're giving them a push for their evenings to be perfect."
 
>You try and hold back your laughter
"Umbra, you're just going to activate their sex drives." You say "You saw what that did to us! I think the only reason we didn't tear each others clothes off and get to business right there, was because I'm a human and you're not the average mare."
>Umbra has a sly smile on her face
"A-And because we're in public o-of course!"
>Umbra laughs before planting a kiss on your lips
>"Tell me, Anonymous." Umbra says "Did you think this night would go any different for any of us?"
>You think to yourself
"No, not really." You say "Well maybe for Wedge."
>You and Umbra both look over to him
>Him and Eris are starting to find a way to dance
>He looks nervous as all hell
>Eris on the other hand just has a tint of red on her face
"He looks like he's having more fun than I thought he would."
>"I think he finds Eris to be exotic." Umbra says "That's why he's been shy all evening towards her."
>As the current song comes to a end a quiet applause fills the room
>You clap as well before returning your hands to Umbra's hips
>Looking up towards the stage you see the musicians bow
>"Thank you." The pony on the mic says "For our next performance, we want to play two new songs we've been working on. This is the first time anypony has heard them so count yourselves lucky!"
>Another burst of applause comes
>The pony turns his attention to you two
>"We dedicate these songs to you and your lover, Queen Umbra." He says "And to any couples out there tonight!"
>The pony makes his way back over to his instrument before beginning the next song
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERahqrn3Ah4 [Embed]
>"Oh wow..." Umbra says as she looks back to you "I already like this song."
"I can see that."
>Her face is full of glee
>God this mare looks so beautiful
>She smiles as you two begin to dance
>While you dance, Umbra rests her head in the crook of your neck
>Looking around at your friends, you see them also slow dancing
>As the song continues to play, Umbra move her mouth up to your ear
>"Move your hands lower, Anonymous..." She whispers
>Uh okay
>You proceed to place your hands on her back just above her tail
>"Lower..." She whispers
"Umbra, we aren't the only ones in here, ya know." You whisper
>"It's fine. Everypony is either watching the band or is enticed by the music." Umbra says "Now, lower..."
>You look around to see that she's right
>Most of these ponies have their eyes closed as the dance with their partner
>And others are looking out at the band
>Fuck it!
>She's the Queen, what are they gonna say?
>Moving your hands lower you grab her nice flank
>Umbra sighs in approval
>"I can't wait to return home..." Umbra says
>You chuckle as you hold her close to you
>The two of you continue to dance until that band finishes up their song
 
>As their song comes to an end applause fills the club once more
>You give Umbra's flank a quick squeeze before moving your hands back to her hips
>"You're so mean..." Umbra whispers "I'll get you back for that."
"I'm counting on it." You whisper back
>Looking back to the stage, you see one of the pony motion for something
>Looking to the left, you see a white unicorn mare with a black mane walk onto the stage
>When she arrives at the center of the stage, she lowers the mic and the band start their next song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KkKflbKJzg [Embed] before you say anything, replace hand with hoof
>Huh
>As the song goes on you continue to dance with Umbra
>This time she looks you dead in the eyes, as you hold her hoof with your hand
>It almost feels like it's just you two in here as you continue to dance away
>1:30 mark
>"Fill my heart with song."
>"And let me sing for ever more."
>"You are all I long for."
>"All I worship and adore."
>As the mare on stage sings these words, it feels like Umbra's hoof tightens around your hand as she stares at you
>The rest of the ponies join in and sing a verse with the mare
>Sounds like it's coming to a close
>As the mare comes to the end of the song, you look back to Umbra
>"I love you." Umbra mouths the words as the mare sings them
>That's all it takes for you, as you plant your lips on Umbra's
>This is more of an emotion filled kiss as you try to return the affection
>The same love that she showed you
>Pulling away, Umbra blushes
>"Let's head back up." Umbra says "All this dancing is making me tired."
>Smiling you nod your head before heading up the stairs
 
>Heading back up to your area, the room applauds the band
>"We don't know if you saw it, but it seems our Queen and her stallion enjoyed that song." The mare says
>You smile before noticing that Eris and Wedge are also heading back up
>Lance and Ariadne, along with Biggs and Eliza stay down there
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJLDGI9OQXk [Embed]
>When you return to your table, Umbra takes a seat before arranging the glasses Rodin and your waiter gave you
>Sitting next to her you place your hand under her chin and get her to look at you
"I love you, Umbra."
>"And I love you, Anonymous." Umbra says "That's why I want to head home, so I could show you just how much I love you."
>Her horn lights up and she pulls the bottle of Lover's Kiss over to her
>Umbra undoes the top before pouring the reddish-pinkish liquid into each of the glasses
>One for each of you...
>When the song comes to a close the other two groups return
>"Did we all have fun tonight?" Umbra asks
>The girls and your friends nod their head
>"I haven't had so much fun in all my life!" Ariadne says as she kisses Lance on the cheek
>"I really had fun too." Lance says
>"It was such a romantic evening." Eliza says as she nuzzles up to Biggs
>"This place is just amazing." Biggs says
>"I enjoyed it." Eris says "Wedge really knows how to show a girl a good time."
>"And Eris is really fun to be around when you get to know her." Wedge says
>"I'm happy to hear that!" Umbra says with a smile as she raises her glass into the "How about one last drink to commemorate the evening?"
>Everyone nods their head before grabbing a glass
>Oh boy here we go.jpeg
 
>You and Umbra decided to wait it out as your friends down their drinks
>Looking on, you're afraid of what's going to happen
>It could be funny though
>You feel Umbra press herself against your side
>As your friends finish their drinks they place their glasses back on the table
>The iris's of Ariadne's eyes flash pink before she shakes her head
>The same happens to Eliza
>Your friends eyes flash red
>"I see what this is, Umbra." Eris says with a smile as she places her glass back down "Pretty sneaky of you~"
>Umbra suppresses a laugh
>You figured it wouldn't have too strong of an effect on Eris
>Wedge on the other hand...
>His face is all red and he can't even look at Eris
>Eris notices this and leans down to whisper something into his ear
>Wedge's face gets even redder before he slowly nods his head
>Eris smiles and picks up Wedge before looking at Umbra
>"Well it's been fun tonight, but Wedge and I feel like continuing this party back at the castle." Eris says as she waves goodbye to you all "See you back at the castle."
>"B-Bye g-guys..." Wedge says "S-See you t-tomorrow."
>"Yeah, at like noon." Eris says before they teleport away into thin air
>What have you done?
>You see Eliza whispering into Biggs's ear
>"Yeah, okay..." Biggs whispers before looking at Umbra "Queen Umbra? Is it okay if we go as well?"
>"We're very grateful that you would allow us to accompany you tonight." Eliza says "This has been one of the best nights of my life."
>"It's not over yet." Biggs says looking over to her
>Eliza blushes before Umbra speaks ups
>"Of course you two can go." Umbra says "Enjoy the rest of your evening."
>They both smile and bow before heading off
>Leaving just Ariadne and Lance
>Looking over to them, both of their faces are just red
"You two want to head back also?"
>They just nod their head
>"So cute." Umbra says before looking back at you "Well my love? Let's have our drink."
 
"Let's do it." You say before raising your glass to Umbra
>She touches your glass before you both down the Lovers Kiss
>The rush comes back in full fucking force as it feels like your brain goes haywire
>Shaking the feeling away you look at Umbra who is licking her lips
>"Let's go home..." Umbra says
>That look in her eye says it all
>"I want you."
>"You're not trying to skip out on paying, right?" Rodin says
>You, Ariadne, and Lance all jump as you look over to the stairs
>There's Rodin, standing there looking intimidating
>"No, Rodin, I wasn't planning on skipping out on the bill." Umbra says
>"That's good." Rodin says as he walks up to Umbra "Otherwise you and I were going to have a problem."
>You swear you see a red glow behind his sunglasses
>Just who is this guy?
>"Oh hush, you know I'm good for it." Umbra says dismissing his threat "I am the Queen after all."
>Rodin looks over to the bottle of Lovers Kiss
>"So how was it?" Rodin asks
>"It needs work." Umbra says "The taste is good, but the aphrodisiac is a little strong. I need you to fix that because I don't need stallions or mares taking advantage of each other."
>"Do you really think I would make a drink like that?" Rodin says "The Lovers Kiss only affects couples!"
>What?
"I don't understand."
>"The drink is supposed to stimulate the love between couples." Rodin says "If a random stallion offered the drink to a random mare the aphrodisiac wouldn't kick in."
>He uses his magic to levitate the bottle over to him
>"Why do you think your party didn't throw themselves at each other?" Rodin asks "Because they're already in a relationship with another pony."
>Rodin looks at the bottle
>"The effect only last for a short time anyway." He says "It's just to get you in the mood. Like those two."
>He points to Lance and Ariadne
 
>They blush before looking away
>"Only serve it to couples then." Umbra says "Can we go now?"
>Rodin stares at Umbra before moving out of the way
>"Just send the bill to the castle." Umbra says before bowing her head "Thanks for having us."
>"Anytime, Queen Umbra." Rodin says "Enjoy your night."
>Umbra looks back to all of you
>"Alright, now let's go home." Umbra says
>Finally!
>Following Umbra, you make your leave from The Icy Gem Cavern
>This was a really nice place to eat and have fun
>This place might be the perfect spot to someday...
>You're snapped out of your thoughts as the cold wind greets you
>The sun has set and the moon hangs high above the sky
>Umbra's horn lights up as a ring around your wrist forms
>Oh no, not this time
>"Come, my love!" Umbra says "Let us retreat to ou-ROOM!"
>You scoop her up and look at her before shaking your head
"This time I'm taking you."
>"It matters not to me!" Umbra says with a smile as she gets comfortable in your arms "I much prefer that you carry me home."
>"Ariadne, get on my back." Lance says
>Ariadne does as told and hops onto his back
>"Hold on tight." Lance says as he extends his wings
>Lance takes off and they fly off to the castle
"Everyone is so eager to get in bed."
>"Aren't you?" Umbra asks
>You smile
"You're damn right I am!" You say "So let's get back home!"
>With your queen in your arms you take off and head home
 
>On the way back to the castle, Umbra was not making it easy for you
>Because that damn drink the lewd side of her was starting to emerge
>The constant barrage of kisses on your neck, cheek, and the occasional ones on the lips were getting to you
>And she kept telling you about the things she was gonna do to you, and what she wanted you to do to her
>You were tempted to just find a dark alley and take her there
>But you're a classy guy and she a Queen
>So you had to endure the burden of the gods that resided in your pants
>For her
>When you finally reach the castle, Umbra helps you out by opening the doors for you
>Entering your home, you arrive just in time to see Sombra coming out of the dining room
>Looks like he was having a snack because he pops a cookie into his mouth
>"Ah, you've returned." Sombra says "How was your evening, sister."
>"It was just wonderful." Umbra says as she snuggles into you "And the best has yet to come..."
>Oh god
>Sombra looks at his sister before looking at you
"It's gonna happen tonight." You say with a shrug "There's no stopping it."
>"That's right!" Umbra says before pointing at her brother "Try and stop us! Make my night, dear brother!"
>Umbra turns her head and plants a kiss on your cheek
>"What's wrong with her? She's acting much differently." Sombra asks
"We drank something at the restaurant that made us both hot for each other." You say "All of us did."
>"Including Ariadne?!" Sombra asks
>Sombra shakes his head before looking around
>"Where is Ariadne, by the way?" Sombra asks
>"With her coltfriend." Umbra says looking back at him "So don't you do ANYTHING to disturb their night!"
 
>"B-But she can't!" Sombra says "She's too pure to be doing that!"
>Umbra smiles
>"It's fine, Sombra. She wants to strengthen the bond that her and Lance share." Umbra says
>"But-!" Sombra says before Umbra throws a hoof out
>"Sombra, enough!" Umbra says "They are going to share a romantic evening together, and I forbid you from doing anything to ruin it!"
>You know this would be tons different if Sombra was evil
>But now that he's a good guy, he has no choice, but to listen to his sister
>Sombra growls before looking away
>"Now Anonymous and I are returning to our room." Umbra says "I suggest you do too, so that you can fall asleep before we get started."
>Sombra shakes his head in defeat before Umbra looks up to you
>"Let's head on up." Umbra says
>Not being needed to be told twice you head on up the stairs with Umbra while Sombra follows behind
>Reaching your floor you head down the hall
>"At least try to keep it down!" Sombra yells
>"Nope!" Umbra yells back
>As you start to pass Eris's room, Umbra stops you
>"Wait, Anonymous..." Umbra says "Are they in there?"
>You creep up to the door
>...
>You don't hear anything inside
"I don't hear anything."
>"You think they finished already?" Umbra asks
>"N-No." You hear Wedge say "I just wanted to take a shower before we start."
>You look back to see him coming down the hall
>He waves at you before heading back inside the room
>"Well then, that answers that." Umbra says "Now come on!"
>You smile before continuing down the hall to your room
 
>Entering your room, Umbra closes the door behind you
"I think it's kind of funny that your guards have ear muffs on."
>"That was a smart move on their part." Umbra says as you take her to the bed "Because tonight..."
>Umbra plants a kiss on you before using her weight to pull you down onto the bed
>"We're going to have fun." Umbra says
>Moving her mane out of the way to reveal her eye, you smile
"I had a lot of fun tonight." You say "I hope we can do it again."
>Umbra smiles as her horn lights up
>You feel the buttons of your jacket beginning to come undone
>"When we're finished with Celestia and her blasted sister, we can have as many dates as we want." Umbra says "Until then let's enjoy this night."
>She finally gets you jacket open and moves onto your dress shirt
>You decide to pay her back for her actions on your way back to the castle and plant kisses on her neck
>"Ah~." Umbra says with a sigh "I have to admit though that I'm a little sad."
>You look up to her
"Why's that?"
>"After tonight we go back to our usual routines." Umbra says as a frown forms on her face "As we wait for Discord to show up."
>She sighs
>"Sometimes I just want to go someplace other than the empire with you. A place where we can get away from all this." Umbra says "Now that Sombra has returned I have no issue with putting him in charge while we visit different spots around Equestria."
>That could be fun
>You press your lips against her which catches her off guard
>She melts into the kiss an place a hoof on your cheek
>Pulling away, you smile
"Like you said, when we're done with Celestia and Luna we can go anywhere we want." You say "I'll always be by your side."
>Umbra smiles before undoing the last button on your dress shirt
>"Here help me with my dress." Umbra says a she stands up
 
>Looking on her back, you see a zipper
>"I'd love to visit locations around Equestria with you." Umbra says as you pull down the zipper "I assume because of your... Past relationship with her, you've seen many sights."
"Yeah, I guess you could say that." You say "Most places we went were usually because she had to make an appearance, but sometimes when she would get time off we'd go there."
>Unzipping the dress fully, Umbra looks back to you
>"A little help?" Umbra asks "I need you to hold me up so I can slip my front legs out."
>Placing a hand on her stomach you help her up so that she's leaning against you
>This makes no sense
>She slips her legs out and the rest of the dress falls down on the bed
>"Thank you, Anonymous." Umbra says as she folds her dress up "Let me just put this away."
>Umbra gets off the bed and heads over to her closet
>You might as well take off your pants
>Undoing your belt you let your pants fall
>Should you grab your pajamas?
>You're just gonna take them off again
>Eh...
>You sit on the edge of the bed
>Umbra comes out a moment later before walking up to you
>"You know what I was thinking we should do before we get started?" Umbra asks
"What?"
>Umbra smiles
>"Why don't we see what Ariadne and Lance is up to?" Umbra says
"Didn't you tell Sombra to leave them alone?"
>"Come on, it'll be funny! And it's not like we're going to ruin their night!" Umbra says "I just want them to experience what we did the night you took me!"
"The embarrassment?"
>Umbra smiles before nodding her head
>Fuck it, it could be funny
"Alright, let me grab my pajamas."
>Slipping them on you head out of the room with Umbra
 
>You are Biggs
>After leaving the club, Eliza suggested you head back to her place for the night
>You were for it
>You can't head back to your place anyway
>"Come on, Biggs!" Eliza says "Let's get going!"
"I'm coming!"
>Walking through the empire, you notice that the streets are particularly empty
>So it's alright for you to be stumbling around for a bit
>That drink was strong, but that effect is wearing off
>"That was so much fun!" Eliza says "I got to go to The Icy Gem Cavern and I got to dance with you."
"It was fun." You say "I hope they invite us to more stuff like that in the future."
>You still can't believe this mare wanted to date you
>You saw the hints, but you never thought much of them
>Maybe you're as dense as Lance
>Oh man speaking of Lance, you're gonna have to listen to Lance brag about losing his V-Card tomorrow
>Maybe you should just stay in
>Looking back down the street, you see something strange
>You notice that a pony with a cloak on his or her head is walking towards you two
>Something doesn't feel right
>There's a sinking feeling in you gut
"Eliza, stay next to me and keep walking."
>"Biggs?" Eliza asks a hint of concern in her voice
"Just keep looking forward and move, okay?" You say "Don't stop, and if anything happens, run."
>Eliza looks over at you before you move closer to her
>You're getting closer to the pony
>You can't even see their eyes
>But you can see something else
>A fang?!
>As you pass the pony you feel something strange happen with your horn
>It's picking up something
>Something... Strange
>It feels like Eris
>No
>It's stronger
>Chills run up your spine as you stop in your tracks
>Who is this pony?!
>Turning around you don't see the pony at all
>They're gone!
 
>Where did they go?!
>You walk out and look around
>No one
>It's as if they were never there
>Looking down at the snow you see the hoof imprints
>They go on for a bit before they just abruptly stop
"Who the fuck was that?" You say as you continue to look around "What the fuck was that?!"
>"Biggs?" Eliza calls out "What's the matter?"
>You look back to her
"Eliza, did you see where that pony went?"
>She shakes her head
>"You told me to keep my eyes straight ahead." She says "Why? What's going on?"
>This doesn't make any sense!
>How can somepony just vanish into thin air?!
>You know they weren't a Pegasi, otherwise your horn wouldn't had pick up on that chaotic feeling magic
>Where could they have gone!?
>From the way you were walking it looks like they were heading to...
>You turn around
>The castle!
>Wait!
>You think back to the conversation you and Anon had yesterday
>He was acting like something was coming after him
>Maybe somepony other than Princess Celestia
"SHIT!" You yell "Anon is in danger!"
>"What?!" Eliza asks "What do you mean?!"
>You turn back to Eliza
"Eliza, I'm sorry." You say "Something has come up and I need to get to Queen Umbra."
>Eliza nods her head
>"I-I understand." Eliza says the disappointment clearly heard in her voice "Just be careful."
>You walk up to her and kiss her
"I will." You say "I'll make it up to you, I swear."
>She nods her head before you turn around and sprint down the street towards the castle
 
>You are Eris
>You're laying on your long bed right now as you wait for Wedge to return
>He wanted to get cleaned up before you two tried anything
>Although you're going to wait till that aphrodisiac wears off
>He may have said he was okay with coming back with you, but you wanted to make sure he was in the right state of mind before he does anything he might regret
>Kinda strange, coming from a girl like you
>And you won't lie, you think he's cute
>Upon hearing the door open, you look over the see Wedge enter the room
"Hey cutie, what took you so long?" You ask
>"Uh, Queen Umbra and Anon just came back." Wedge says "It looks like they were trying to listen in on the room."
>Those little pervs
>That drink must be making Umbra all loopy
>But something is off about that
>She's a strong girl, that drink shouldn't be hitting her as hard
>Didn't she say her and Anon had a drink of it already?
>Wedge comes up to your bed and just stares at you
"Well? Don't just stand there, hop into bed with me." You say patting a spot in front of you
>Wedge nods his head in a sheepish way before climbing up
>He sits down with his back to you
>He's so nervous
>You can tell because he's as stiff as a block of wood right now
"You okay, Wedge?" You ask "How's your head feel?"
>"Better, since I took that shower." He says "That drink really messed with me."
"That's why I didn't want to do anything to you." You say "I wanted to hear it from you when you were in a right state of mind that you want this."
>Wedge blushes
"I can tell you're nervous." You say "If you want, I can shapeshift into a pony, so you won't feel so intimidated."
>Wedge shakes his head
>You smile before moving closer to him
"So do you really want this?" You ask "Why, Wedge? We only just know each other for a few days."
 
>Wedge fidgets around
>"I'll be honest, Eris." Wedge says "I didn't see the night going this way for me."
>You just stay quiet and listen to him
>"But after getting to know you tonight, I..." Wedge says before taking a deep breath "I think you're an amazing person to talk to and to hang out with. And I really you're your cute and-!"
"Awwww, are you trying to say that you've developed a little crush on me?" You ask "I'm flattered, Wedge."
>"I just think you're different, in a good way of course!" Wedge says "You have a different sense of fun than most mares here."
>You smile before coiling your tail around him
"Ah I see." You say "You want to try something other than a pony."
>Wedge blushes even harder
>This is kind of fun
"Well Wedge, I won't lie to you. I think you're cute." You say "I also think you're one of the nicest stallions I've ever met."
>Wedge looks at you
"Why are you so nice to me, by the way?" You ask "Every other pony I've seen looks at me like I'm some sort of monster."
>"It's because I felt like you needed a friend." Wedge says "You've been asleep for how long? I don't want to sound rude, but I think the friends you had are gone."
>He's not wrong
>You smile before moving closer to him
>"I figured I try to be your friend so you wouldn't be alone-!" Wedge says before you plant a kiss on his cheek
>He tenses up and you giggle
>"You're not a monster to me." Wedge says "You're Eris The Draconequus."
>That's it
>You're gonna rock his world tonight
>You move in for another kiss
>But before you do, you sense something
>This feeling...
>You pull away and look around
>Getting up, you walk over to the window
>You haven't felt this in ages
>It can't be...
>Dammit, you need to find Umbra and Anon!
 
>"Eris?" Wedge asks "What's up? You look worried."
>You look back to Wedge
"Are there any weapons you can get around here?"
>Wedge looks confused as he nods his head
>"Yeah, why?" Wedge asks "What's going on?!"
"I think someone has come to take Anon back."
>"What?!" Wedge says before hopping off the bed "How do you know?!"
"I can feel his magic from here." You say "He's on his way here now."
>"We need to warn Queen Umbra!" Wedge says
"I'll handle that." You say as you head to the doors "Wedge, I need you to get a weapon for yourself and Lance, and then you need to meet us in Umbra's room."
>"Why?" Wedge asks "Can't you handle it?"
>You remain silent
>"Eris?" Wedge asks
"Just do what I told you."
>Wedge nods his head before hurrying out of the room
>Can't you handle it?
>You honestly don't know
>He feels much stronger now
>You shake your head
>Stop worrying, you need to find Umbra and Anon!
>Scrambling out of the room you rush over to their room
>Bursting into the room, you find that they're not here!
>Where in Tartarus could they be?!
 
>You are Umbra
>You feel on cloud nine as you walk down the hall with your beloved
>"So what are we doing exactly?" Anonymous asks
"We're just going to quickly walk in on them, make them feel embarrassed, and then quickly walk out." You say "Just like how the guards barged in on us."
>"Okay, good." Anonymous says "I thought you wanted to watch them or spy on them."
"Don't be ridiculous, my love. That's a stupid idea. I can't believe you would even think that" You say "Not to mention it would also be disgusting on our part."
>Anonymous nods his head
>You may be feeling a little tipsy from the Lovers Kiss, but that no reason to act like such an ass
>"We need an excuse though." Anonymous says "We can't just go barging in without one."
>You think to yourself
"I'll tell Ariadne that she doesn't have to wake us up and that she can sleep in tomorrow."
>"That works." Anonymous says
>As you come to Ariadne's doors you look at Anonymous
>You nod your head as if you were saying "Ready?"
>Anonymous nods his head
>As you're about to open the doors you hear something pop up behind you
>Looking back you see Eris
>"There you are!" Eris says as she grabs you and Anonymous "Let's go!"
>The next thing you know she's teleported you back to your room
"Eris! Put us down immediately!"
>Eris throws you two onto the bed
>"What the hell, Eris?!" Anonymous asks
"My thoughts exactly!" You say "Eris, what is the meaning of this?! How dare you-!"
>"Will you shut up and get a hold of yourself!?" Eris shouts before she slaps you across the face with her paw
 
>When Eris slapped you, it felt like the haze that was clouding your mind dissipates
>It was replaced by the stinging pain on your face at the moment
>"Eris, w-what are you doing?!" Anonymous asks
>"I'm sorry, Anon." Eris says "But I need Umbra to stop acting like a damn party girl, and for her to get serious."
>You place a hoof on your cheek before shaking your head
>It feels like you're coming to your senses again
>"Umbra? All you alright?" Anonymous asks
>Looking over at him, you nod your head
"I'm fine." You say "I think I actually needed that."
>You were acting as if that was your first time drinking
>How embarrassing...
>You feel like you need a cold shower
>Looking back at Eris, you see she has a look of worry on her face
>This can't be good
"Thank you for that, Eris." You say "Now tell me what's the matt-?"
>You stop when you feel something out of the ordinary
>What is this magical power?!
>"So you feel it too?" Eris asks "Discord is coming."
>Your eyes snap to hers
>"What?!" Anonymous asks "How do you know that?!"
"She's telling the truth." You say "There's a powerful magical presence fast approaching."
>"I already sent Wedge to get a weapon for him and Lance and for them to meet us up here." Eris says
>You stand up before getting off the bed
"We have no time to prepare." You say "He'll be here any moment."
>You look over at Eris
"I need you to hide." You say "And if things look like they're about to get hairy. that's your cue to jump in."
>Eris nods her head before snapping her fingers
>She becomes a vase with some flowers in them before placing herself on your desk
>You turn around to look at Anonymous
"Well get through this, my love." You say "I promise."
 
>You are Wedge
>Running down the stairs you decided to grab Lance first
>As you come down the third floor you can't help, but feel a sense of dread
>Even Eris looked worried back there
>You wish she would tell you what's going on
>As you continue to head down the stairs you run into Biggs
"B-Biggs?!" You ask "What are you doing here?!"
>He almost falls back before catching himself
>You must have scared him
>"I felt some crazy shit on my way to Eliza house." Biggs says "We passed by a pony that was wearing a cloak over their head, and that's when I felt it."
>Biggs takes a deep breath
>"When I turned to get a better look at them, they disappeared." Biggs says "I think they were on their way to the castle, so I came running here to warn Queen Umbra."
"Well Eris is doing that." You say "She told me to grab Lance and find a weapon."
>"Well then let's go grab lover boy." Biggs says as he steps off into the second floor
>Follow him, you walk down the hall to Ariadne's room
"He's gonna be mad at us." You say "Especially if he hasn't made a move."
>"Tough shit." Biggs says "Anon and Queen Umbra needs us."
>As you get closer to the door, you can hear giggling coming from inside
>Biggs rolls his eyes before knocking on the door
>"We're coming in!" Biggs says as he opens the door "You better be decent!"
 
>Waling into the room, your eyes take need a moment to adjust to all the pink and blue in here
>It's really girly in here
>Looking towards the big pink bed you see Lance and Ariadne shuffling under the light blue covers
>They're heads pop out from under the sheets
>Both their manes look a mess
>Ariadne hides her face with a pillow while Lance's face gets red
>"W-What are you guys doing here?!" Lance says "Get out, you guys!"
>Lance grabs a pillow before chucking it at you and Biggs
>Biggs catches it with his magic before throwing it back at him
>"Come on, let's go." Biggs says "There's an emergency."
>"What?! Can't it wait?!" He says "I was just about to-!"
>Lance stops when he sees Biggs staring him down
>"Anon is in trouble." Biggs says "Hurry up and put it away, and let's go..."
>Lance looks confused
"They're coming for him." You say "Biggs, Eris, and I'm sure Queen Umbra have sensed them."
>"Anon is in trouble?" Lance asks before looking at Ariadne
>When he looks back to you, he nods his head
>"Okay, let's go." Lance says as he gets out of bed
"We need to get to Credo's workshop." You say "We should be able to find some weapons in there."
>When Lance get's out of bed so does Ariadne
>"I'll come to!" Ariadne says as she slips on a bathrobe "I need to get to Lady Umbra!"
>"No Ariadne, you should really stay-" Lance says before Ariadne runs out of the room
"Well, she's much quicker than us."
>"Come on!" Biggs says "We need to get moving too!"
>Turning around the three of you run out and head to Credo's
 
>You are Anon
>Currently you're staring at the black crystal floor
>So he's coming, huh?
>It was only a matter of time
>You just sit at the edge of the bed as you wait
>Umbra paces around the room
>"Dammit, this night was going perfect for us." Umbra says "And now we hear that Discord is on his way here."
>Umbra looks at the door
>"He's getting closer." Umbra says
>Umbra shakes her head before looking back at you
>"Anonymous..." Umbra says as she walks up to you
>You look up at her
>"You need to stay strong." Umbra says "Eris and I might not be able to do this by ourselves."
>You hear the sound of hoovesteps running up to your room
>Looking over to them you see Ariadne burst in
>She has a little pink bathrobe on
>And her mane is down and out of place
>"Lady Umbra! I came as soon as I heard!" Ariadne says "What's happening?!"
>"Calm down, Ariadne. Nothing has happened yet." Umbra says "What are you even doing up here?"
>"Biggs and Wedge came to grab Lance!" Ariadne says "They had said Anon was in danger so I came up here!"
>Ariadne rushes over to you
>"Don't worry, Anon! We won't let whatever coming for you hurt you!" Ariadne says "Because you're family!"
>You smile at the mare in front of you
"Thank you, Ariadne." You say "Just make sure you keep your head down if things go down."
>Ariadne nods her head before you see Umbra look over to the door
>"Where did he go?" Umbra says "His magic has just vanished!"
>What?
>"Aww, how sweet." You hear a voice say "I see you've had no problem making new friends while you've been away."
>Oh no
>He's finally here
>You see a cloud form in the air
>"Why the long face, Anon?" The voice says "Aren't you happy to see me again?"
>The cloud takes shape and out pops his face
"Discord."
 
>You sigh
>Umbra shakes her head before standing in front of you
>"No, I won't let that happen." Umbra says "I don't care if you're a Spirit of Chaos or not."
>Discord smiles
>"Well, I'm sorry, but orders are orders." Discord says "Celestia really wants her human back."
>You clench your fist
"That's too bad for her!" You say "Celestia and I are done! I'm with Umbra now."
>"Anon, don't make this harder than it has to be." Discord says
"Well shit, what do you want me to do?" You ask "Just lay down and accept it? Discord, I can't go back."
>Discord sighs before standing back up
>"Anon, you don't understand." Discord says in a more serious tone "Celestia gave me orders to bring you back to Canterlot."
"Since when do you take orders?"
>"Since they told me that you were in trouble." Discord says "I couldn't sit by while my friend was in trouble."
>You look around
"Do I look like I'm in trouble?!"
>Discord crosses his arms
>"Look, I'm supposed to bring you home." Discord says "And that's what I'm going to do!"
>Umbra readies herself
>"I said no!" Umbra says "Anonymous is happy here! Are you really going to take that happiness away from him!"
>Discord looks down to her
>"Are you really going to try and stop me?" Discord asks
>"If I have to, yes! Aren't you his friend?!" Umbra asks "Aren't you supposed to support your friend!? Why would you want to take him back to a place where he won't be happy?!"
>Discord looks conflicted as he stares at Umbra
>"I don't have to explain my reasons to you!" Discord says as he proceeds to move towards you "Now move!"
>Umbra fires a beam of magic at his face
>But before it hits, Discord's head splits in half and the beam misses
>You hear Ariadne go "Eep!" behind you
>"You're going to need to try a little harder." Discord says "You can't hope to defeat me by yourself."
>"Who said I was by myself?" Umbra says before looking at Eris "Now!"
 
>Discord looks back and sees Eris popping out of the vase before wrapping herself around Discord
>As she coils herself around him tightly so that his arms are pinned at his sides
>When Eris feels confident with her hold on him she gets face to face with him
>"Hello little brother!" Eris says "Did you miss me?!"
>"Little brother?!" You, Umbra, and Ariadne all say
>Well what are the fucking chances?!
>"E-Eris?!" Discord says
>"In the flesh!" Eris says as if mocking Discord
>"What are you doing here?!" Discord asks
>"In due time." Eris says "Right now I need you to settle down and not lay a hand on Anon's pretty head."
>You see the two of them struggle until Eris brings him down to a sitting position
>"Celestia isn't the only pony with a Spirit of Chaos up her sleeve." Umbra says while walking up to him "Now Discord, let's talk."
>Discord looks to Umbra
>"I apologize for firing magic at you, but you left me with no choice." Umbra says "We wanted to speak with you to see if we could get you to help us."
>"Help you?" Discord asks "And why in the world would I want to do that?!"
>You step forward
"Because, Discord." You say "I'm the one asking for it."
>Discord doesn't look at you
"Discord, look at me." You say "We just want to talk."
>He finally looks over to you
>"Fine, what do you have to say?" Discord asks
 
>Umbra looks over to you
>"I expected a bit more resistance." Umbra says
>"Don't think I'm being talkative because of you." Discord says "I'm only doing this for my friend."
>Eris smacks Discord across the back of his head
>"Hey, be nice to her." Eris says "Without her, Anon wouldn't even be here right now."
>Discord looks back to her
>"Don't start bossing me around like nothing happened between us." Discord says "I'm still upset at you."
>Discord looks away from her
>You see the smile on Eris's face fade a little
>What happened between them?
>Whatever, it's not important right now
"Discord, what has Celestia told you?"
>Discord looks back to you
>"Why she told me that your little mind was trapped in a cage!" Discord says "A cage made by the wicked witch of the north!"
>Umbra lets out an irritated chuckles
>"Of course she would say that!" Umbra yells "That's all she says now! Even after the Princess of Love told her otherwise!"
>She's getting angry again
>You understand why though
>There's no way you're going to get them to get along when this is done
>You place a hand behind Umbra's ear, and scratch it to calm her down
"It's alright, Umbra." You say "Calm down."
>She huffs before leaning into your hand
>"It makes me so angry." Umbra says "The only way she's going to get through that thick head of hers, is if I beat it into her."
>Discord laughs
>You look back to him while you continue to scratch behind Umbra's ear
"I'm not under a spell." You say "Celestia just has a hard time believing that I've moved on."
>"How can you be so sure of that, Anon?" Discord asks "For some reason it's feels like you do have magic attached to you."
 
>Shit, you had a feeling he would sense Sombra's magic in you
>You can't tell him that it's Sombra's
>Just in case he does tell Celestia anything
>"Are trying to say that I have put him under a spell? Without his knowledge?!" Umbra asks "Because I would never do anything of the sort!"
>You put your hand out to stop her
"A lot has changed about me in the time I've been gone." You say "Umbra and I discovered that i had some magic lock away inside me, she helped me bring it out."
>"But you told me that Celestia said you had no magic in you?" Discord says "Why has that changed?"
>"That's because the solar princess is an idiot!" Umbra says
>She's pretty mad
>Discord looks over at her before looking back at you
>"She really doesn't like Celestia, does she?" Discord asks
>You shake your head
"Can you blame her?" You ask "After I've told her that we were done, she still has the nerve to tell everyone I know that I'm a prisoner! Held against my will by the evil sister of Sombra!"
>You shake your head
"Then because I won't come home, she sends you after me!" You say "Like you're some kind of dog fetching his stick."
>"She didn't send me after you." Discord says "I volunteered to come looking for you myself!"
 
"You volunteered to look for me?"
>Discord nods his head
"Did you tell Fluttershy?" You ask "What did she say about all this?"
>Discord adverts his gaze
>"When I talked to her, both her and Twilight told me not to do anything crazy." Discord says "In fact, they told me I shouldn't go at all. This was between you and Celestia."
>Well at least the girls are trying to stay neutral
"Why didn't you listen to them?"
>"I missed you!" Discord says "It's been so long since you left."
>"Well now that you've seen Anonymous, and you've talked to him, what do you plan to do?" Umbra asks
>Discord looks back to Umbra
>"I told you, I have to bring him home." Discord says "I may have volunteered, but Celestia gave me orders to bring Anon back."
"And are you going to follow them?"
>"No, he's not!" Eris says "Not while I'm around."
>Discord looks back to her
>"As if you have to power to stop me." Discord says as he snaps his fingers with his free hand
>Discord transforms into what looks like an eel like version of himself which allows him to slip out of Eris's grasp
>As soon as he does he wraps himself around his sister
>Panic.jpeg
"Discord, don't!"
>Eris tries to remove Discord off of her, but before she can, Discord lights up and electrocutes her
>Eris cries out in pain before she falls onto the floor
>Discord continues to shock Eris until she stops thrashing around
>"Eris!" Umbra yells
>When Eris stops moving, Discord unwraps himself before transforming back to normal
>Looking over at Eris you see her twitching on the floor when lighting appears around her body
>She tries to get back up, but falls right back down
>Ariadne jumps across the bed and rushes over to her
>"I don't know where you've been, but I do know your time away has made you weaker." Discord says "Now you can know what it feels like to be beaten."
>With Eris out of the way, Discord looks over to you
>"I suppose I've wasted enough time as is." Discord says "We really should be get going, Anon."
 
>As Discord start to move towards you, Umbra takes a defensive stance
>"NO! I won't let you take him away from his home, from his friends!" Umbra says as you see a tear roll down her cheek "From me!"
>Can you really fight him?
>It looks like you'll have no choice
>You reach over and grab Rebellion
>You hear a what sounds like a stamped outside your room
>The doors burst open and in comes Biggs, Wedge, and Lance
>Also accompanying them are Umbra's two door guards
>"Queen Umbra!" Biggs yells "We're here to help!"
>"I told you the earmuffs were a bad idea!" One guard says to the other "We couldn't hear anything!"
>"Shut up! It was a one in a million chance!" The other guard replies back
>"Eris!" Wedge says as he runs over to her "Ariadne, is she okay?"
>"I think she'll be fine." Ariadne says "I just don't think she can get back into the fight."
>"Whoa it looks just like Eris." Lance says "There's more than one of them?!"
>"There's only two of us." Discord says while turning around
>He looks at Biggs
>"You're that pony I past along the way." Discord says
>"I knew I felt some powerful magic." Biggs says "Who are you?!"
>"I am Discord." Discord says "An old friend of Anon's, and I guess the little brother of her."
>Discord looks down at a defeated Eris
>Eris tries to reach for his foot before he moves away
>"Anyhoo you're just in time to say your goodbyes." Discord says "I've come to bring Anon home."
 
>"Like we're gonna let that happen!" Lance yells as they all surround him
>Discord looks around at everyone before he begins to laugh
>Dammit
>"What's so damn funny?!" Biggs asks "You're surrounded! just give up peacefully."
>"The fact that you think any of you can stop me from doing..." Discord says before he teleports into thin air
>The next thing you know you feel something grab your wrist before lifting you up into the air
>"This!" Discord says as he moves onto the bed "I'm a Spirit of Chaos! There's no way you can stop me!"
>"Anonymous!" Umbra yells
>"Anon!" Your friends yell
"Discord! LET GO OF ME!"
>You try to break free from his grasp, but it's no use
>You try and swing your sword at him, but before it connects, his body splits apart and the blade misses
"Discord! Please!"
>"Well it's been fun everypony, but it's time for us to go home!" Discord says while waving at them "Say goodbye, Anon!"
"STOP!"
>You look over at Umbra to see her running towards you
>"NO!" Umbra screams as she jumps for you "ANONYMOUS!"
>The last thing you see is her tear filled eyes and her hoof before you teleport once more
>You shut your eyes as it feels like your travailing at mach speed
>When it feels like you've stopped, you feel like throwing up
>"Did somepony order one big hunk of human?" You hear Discord says
>When you open your eyes you start to panic
>There she stands
>"Anonymous!" Celestia says "You've returned at last!"
 
>You're stunned
>No this can't be!
>All that work trying to stay hidden
>All that time...
>It was all for nothing!
>Umbra...
>You can feel your eyes water
>"Did they put up any resistance?" Celestia asks
>Discord drops you and you fall flat on your ass
>"Nothing yours truly couldn't handle." Discord says
>"How did the sister of Sombra react?" Celestia asks with a smile "I assume they didn't just hand him over?"
>"They reacted poorly." Discord says "They tried to sick my sister on me, along with some of Anon's friends."
>He just took you like it was nothing...
>You sit back up on your knees
>"You have a sister?!" Celestia asks "And she's allied with that witch, Umbra?!"
>You clench your fist and grip the handle of Rebellion
>Stop calling her that...
>"She's nothing to be concerned about." Discord says "I can handle her now."
>You feel sorry for Eris
>It seems she didn't know what she was getting herself into
>"You couldn't leave that hideous sword behind?" Celestia asks Discord as she looks at Rebellion
>"He wouldn't let it go." Discord says "It must mean a lot to him."
>Celestia shakes her head before walking up to you
>"I'll deal with it later." Celestia says "Right now, I just want to speak to Anonymous."
>You feel her place a hoof on her shoulder
>"Anonymous? My sunshine?" Celestia says "Can you look at me?"
 
"GET YOUR HOOF OFF ME!" You yell as you slap her hoof off you
>Celestia steps back
>"Someone's a little angry." Discord says
>The last straw breaks and you get up and swing Rebellion over your head as hard as you ever have at Discord
"FUCK YOU!" You scream as you bring it down on him
>Discord reacts by splitting himself in two down the middle
>When your blade connects with the floor it makes a devastating noise
>Since the floor isn't made of crystal, and instead made of marble, pieces go flying
>"Anonymous!" Celestia yells
"Shut up!" You yell while you continue to stare at Discord "Why couldn't you just leave me alone!"
>Discord stays quiet as he stares at you
>He actually looks a little shaken
"I was happy there! I had friends, a job, and all and all a good thing going there!" You yell "And you ruined it!"
>You swing at him again only to receive the same results
>"Sister!?" You hear Luna yell as the doors burst open "What is Equestria is going on here... Anonymous?!"
>You slump down using Rebellion to prop you up
>Why are you so drained?!
>Dammit not now!
>"Sister! What is happening to him?!" Luna asks "He's has this red aura around him!"
>"I see that Luna!" Celestia yells
"And worst of all... You took me from the mare I love..." You say as the tears begin to flow "You took me from UMBRA!"
>One more time
>You swing one more time bringing the sword down on him
>Making another indent on the ground you feel something hit your back and you fall to your knees
>"Anonymous! Stop!" Celestia yells as she runs over to you
>Her horn is glowing
>She hit you with a spell
>You reach out and grab Discord's hoof
"I will never forgive you for this!" You try to say "Consider our friendship dead."
>Discords eyes widen before you collapse
 
>You can barely keep your eyes open as the sound of hooves approachs you
>"Luna, help me get him into my bed." Celestia says
>"Anonymous did all this?" You hear Luna say "Impressive."
>You feel yourself being lifted up
>They're carrying you across the room to Celestia's bed
>"Discord, I think you should go stay with Fluttershy's tonight." Celestia says "I don't believe having you around at the moment is a good idea."
>"But I..." Discord says
>"You're just going to aggravate Anonymous more." Celestia says "He's obviously upset with you."
>He's not the only one you're pissed at
>"I know, but... Alright." Discord says before you hear him walk away
>As you feel the softness of Celestia bed you struggle to fall out of it
>You don't want Celestia to have even this
>You'd rather sleep on the floor
>"Anonymous, please." Celestia says "You're going to hurt yourself!"
>You don't respond, you only continue to be disobedient
>"Sister, I don't think he's going to stay put." Luna says "Shall we put him to sleep?"
>"No. I want to speak with him first." Celestia says "Then if he's still acting like this, you can."
>Looks like you're going to be put to sleep
>"Anonymous, I know you're angry." Celestia says "I know you're upset at the events that have transpired tonight, but you must know that this is for your own good."
>"Sister is right, Anonymous." Luna chimes in
>If only you had the strength to smack them both
"Bullshit." You say "You just wanted me home because you couldn't stand that Umbra won."
>"If Umbra had won, why are you here then?" Luna asks "It seems to us that we won."
"Bitch!"
>Celestia puts a hoof out
>"Stop." Celestia says before looking at her sister "He's obviously too angry to continue tonight. Go ahead and put him to sleep."
>Luna's horn lights up
>It hits you almost instantly and find yourself drifting off to sleep
"Umbra..."
