Equestrian Wars Book 1: The Rise of the Dominion
Chapter 4: Night To Remember: part 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLuna and I arrived at the party and we walked in. As we entered I saw Silver Skull, he was talking to a few other ponies and one griffon. They were all involved in the plan, my co conspirators, if you will. I looked at Luna and smiled,"I'm gonna go take care of something, why don't you socialize?" I said to her. She smiled and give me a quick kiss on the cheek and trotted off happily.
I quickly walked to the back office to take care of my business. My business came in the form of a grey stallion, with a black tuxedo, and a red tie. His black mane and tail blue in the dry wind that crept through the open window. I kneeled before him as I would my king or master, and spoke. "Greetings." I say to him. He turned and smiled his red eyes glowed in the candlelight as he walked towards me. He placed a gentle hoof on my shoulder and smiled,"Greetings, Orphios. Is everything going well?" He asked me stroking my mane. I nodded and smiled softly. His cutie mark was a black star, it was stained in a dark red color. I knew right away that it was blood.
I stood up slowly as he spoke. "I don't expect failure from you, Orphios. Get it done, tonight!" He said in a stern voice.
I smiled and replied, "I won't fail you, father." I said to him emotionlessly. He smiled and sent me on my way. I met up with Luna and she brought me to a table to meet some ponies. This was where I met the six ponies who were garnished with the Elements.
"Girls, this Orphios." She said to the six mares. "Orphios, this is Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity." She said as the girls gave waves and curtsies. I bowed in respect and kissed their hooves.
"A pleasure, ladies." I said politely. Rarity blushed so hard, i thought she'd die of a heart attack. I smiled and stood back up.
"Fillies and Gentlecolts, I'm pleased to present to you our illustrious host, Desperado, CEO of Desperado Enterprises." Announced a Unicorn mare. I applauded with the crowd as the red coated unicorn stallion came out with my father.
"Thank you, my fellow Equestrians. This is such a momentous occasion. This night will prove to be the most glorious of nights. Let justice roll like waters." He said smiling. The rest of the conspirators spoke with me.
"And righteousness the everlasting stream." We replied.
The rest of the guests were confused. They soon forgot about it and got back to the party. Luna and I saw Celestia and Discord walking towards us and they both gave Luna a hug. Celestia glared at me, which was unique of her. Discord just smile and gave me a hug,"it's good to see you again." He said to me. He and I were friends long ago.
"You too buddy. I'd love to catch up with you and Tia, bu-" before I could finish Celestia interrupted me.
"Only, my friends and family can call me that you are neither." She said to me. I felt bad and decided to step outside.
Luna wasn't to happy with her sister. "What is your problem?" Luna asked. Celestia scoffed and took a sip of her drink.
"That stallion is my problem. I don't trust him." Celestia said. Discord looked at Celestia in shock.
"He was your friend once. What changed?" He asked. Celestia gave him a solemn look. Before Celestia spoke Luna interrupted.
"Why can't you let me be happy with the one I love?" Luna asked in tears before running out to me.
I stood outside frustrated with myself. Luna came out and joined me. "Mind if I join you?" She asked wiping away her tears. I nodded as she walked to me.
She placed a hoof on my own and her head rested on my shoulder. I don't know what came over me, but I let her, I let my target love me. i can't do this. I thought to myself. "Luna, I-" I never finished at that moment, Luna leaned in and kissed my lips.
Her lips were soft and trembling. I was hesitant at first, but I returned the kiss closing my eyes. My heart w as beating at what felt like ninety miles per second. I couldn't believe I was kissing Luna. The mare I was sent to kidnap, or kill. The mare whom I believed ruined my life. what am I doing? I thought to myself, as Luna let a moan escape her lips. I broke the kiss as tears rolled down my eyes. "I love you, Orphios." She said to me softly in a whisper.
I again couldn't believe it, but I kissed her in response not knowing what to do. what am I doing? I'm gonna get us both killed! I thought to myself. I couldn't stand the emotional turmoil inside me. I now knew what I was feeling.
It was something, I thought I would never feel since Luna ruined my life. It was love.
Meanwhile, my father was meeting with Desperado, and a reporter.
"Look, I know what your hiding. I won't let any of you get away with this." The reporter said defiantly. My father smiled at that.
Two guards then grabbed the reporter. My father smiled again as the captain of the Crystal Guard came in, his name was Flash Sentry. Flash smiled and shut the door,"so your the one causing problems?" He asked to which my father nodded. Flash pulled a knife out and slit the reporters throat.
"We need to hurry, before anypony finds out, quick get the page."
