That was over nine hundred and ninety nine years ago, and it was almost time for Mother to return.

Celestia had me moved to her newer Castle in the city of Canterlot, and that was where I slumbered.

Today was two days before the thousandth year of the summer sun festival that Celestia had made to count the days until Mother’s return. My body has hibernated, but my conscious was still at play. I heard, and saw everything that happened after I was turned to stone.
It was strange being in a stone prison, as you couldn’t move anything, and you could only think about what was in your head, or in the world around you.

Celestia had me placed right across from Discord, and I was able to speak with him somehow, but I never did unless I was extremely bored, and I never was as I was still waiting to be released from my stone body so I could help mother when she returns.

“Twilight, are you sure you can do it this time?” I hear Celestia ask from my right, which was in the direction of the observatory.

“Yes Princess and I have the magic to do it now.” replied Twilight Sparkle, Celestia’s current student/protégé.

Finally, she will release me. I think to myself as Twilight, and Celestia come into my viewing range.

“Then go ahead and try to release my nephew from his prison for me.” Celestia tells her student. I see a purple aura envelope Twilight’s horn as she prepares to cast a spell, but something was different from all the other times she tried to free me. I could see something right in the spell forms for once.

Twilight’s horn grows brighter than Celestia’s mane as she fires a beam of white magic at me. It felt warm, and I felt stone starting to shift. There is a large crack over my chest, and it pulses with my hibernating heart in a bright blue colour. There is another crack, and this one was on my arms, and connected by crossing behind my shoulders. I felt my body turn back to normal under the stone shell that I was in.

Another crack and some stone falls away from my chest, and loosens the rest of the stone. I start to open my hands from holding my sword in my kneeling position that I have held for the last thousand years.

Twilight’s spell ends, and my stone stays cracked, and I stay un-hibernated.

My hands break free of the stone, and my sword clatters to the ground in front of them. I then break my arms’ shells by flexing my arms in to me chest, and then I start to break stone away from my body.

Once my body was free of stone, I stepped off of the small pedestal I was on, and fall to my knees. I’m breathing hard, and my armour feels like lead. I hit the insignia, and it turns to its medallion form.

“How long?” I ask as I slowly catch my breath.

“Two days before the one thousand years are over Osiris.” Celestia tells me. I growl at this.

“When is it?” I ask the purple unicorn next to my aunt.

“It is one thousand ANMM.” She tells me. I growl again as I move to a sitting position. I turn my gaze to the sky, and growl loudly at the sunny day it was.

“I need to sleep if it is daytime Celestia.” I say as I pull myself to my feet, “You know I hate the light more than I hate what you did.” I say as I start to the castle.

“Princess, who is he?” Twilight asks Celestia. I turn around, and walk right up to her.

“We are the Prince Osiris, son of Princess Luna, and nephew to this solar pony. We were there when she banished our mother to the moon. Now I must rest, and then go to the location that my Mother will be returning to. Guard!” I shout for someone to take me to a room I can sleep in. Some of the words I said left Twilight gaping at me. I just growl again before I turn to one of Celestia’s guards that came to me.

“Take us to some chambers so that we may rest until tonight.” I tell him with my eyes closed. When I open them he is looking at me with a scowl. I narrow my eyes as I pick up my sword and sheathe it.

“Doth thou wish to face us in a duel for thine disobedience to us, Prince Osiris?” I ask him. This got him to look to Celestia, who pointed at my pedestal, where only chunks of stone were left.

“I apologize Prince, I did not know you had been awakened.” He tells me as he bows.

“Rise you solar whelp, and take me to some chambers to sleep in.” I tell him. He does so, and waves for me to follow him.

Now I may seem rude right now, but would you, who are listening to my tale, be very happy being able to move, after a thousand years? I didn’t think so. I was sore, and I wanted to see my Mother’s moon.

I followed the guard through corridors of the bright white castle. I grimaced at all the bright colours, and sighed in relief as we stopped at a room.

“Thank you guards pony, and we are sorry if we seem rude, but we are sore, and do not enjoy the day, so please excuse our behaviour until tonight please.” I tell the guard pony that escorted me here.

“It is not a problem Prince. A quick warning if I may?” He asks me. I nod to him.

“Be wary of Prince Blueblood as he is very high and mighty. He might not like you very much, and he has no manners unless it comes to himself.” The guard tells me. I smirk at this.

“We thank you for this information, and we ask for thy name.” I tell him.

“Claymore your highness.” He tells me.

“Claymore, we have an offer for you since you were kind to us. We offer thee a place in the Lunar Guard when Mother returns in a few nights. Thout do not have to answer right away, but we ask that thou think about it. That is all. Good… day Guard Claymore.” I grimaced at using the words good and day in the same sentence. He bows again, and walks off.

I open the doors to the room I would be sleeping in, and growl as it is brightly lit.

“Noctem en tro.” I say working what little magics I could as of now. The spell I cast makes the windows blacken, and block all light from outside unless it was night time, and the walls turned deep blue, similar to Mother’s room in the Everfree castle.

Basically the spell I cast made this room a lunar residence. I then turn to the center of the room, and see a casting circle.

I smile as I prepare my only summoning spell to summon my personal night wraith that Mother had made, with the help of Celestia, to keep me safe while I was younger. It now keeps me company now that I’m older.

I point my pinkie fingers at the casting circle.

“Summonos, et reh nos tume Silver Night.” I say in the ancient magic tongue. The casting circle lights up in a dark blue, and collects Silver’s essence inside of it before it solidifies her. Silver became my lover when I became thirteen, so I made her into a female when we became so. She didn’t have a gender to start with, and she always acted more female than male anyways, so it wasn’t an issue.

“Osiris?” Silver asks as she walks up to me. She was made to be shaped like me, so she was basically a female from my race, whatever I was. I looked similar to the elven, but they told me I wasn’t one of them.

“Silver.” I say as I embrace her with a passionate kiss. She embraces me in return, and kisses back. She moans into the kiss, and I pull her closer to me. She in turn embraces me tighter. Her tongue brushes my lips, and I allow her entrance.

Our tongues wrestled for dominance in our mouths, and we slowly made our way to the bed in the room. She pulls away for air as I bump into the bed.

“It has been so long Osi. Show me that you still love me please.” Silver tells me with her eyes half lidded, and her breathe warmed by her need. I smiled at her, and started to undo my clothing, but she starts to do so for me, so I start working on hers in return. After every other piece of clothing I would put up a muffle, barrier, or temporary blinding spell so that we would have our privacy.

Silver, and I were completely de-clothed, and we were now exploring each other. I ran my hands over her sides, and she shivers at my touch. She pulls me in for a kiss, and I easily dodge to nibble on her ear. This causes her to sigh with a slight waver to her breathe. She gently pushes me down onto the bed, and I go down willingly. My member was at attention, and standing at its full length of nine inches.

Silver lines her entrance up over me, and then in one swift motion, impales herself on my spire, moaning along with me as our pleasure starts to climb slowly. I let her ride me as fast as she wanted, and she didn’t like it when I thrust into her anyways, so I just laid back, and caressed her as she made us both climb to orgasm.

I could tell she was starting to feel her orgasm starting as she start moving faster, and she was getting louder. I was right with her as she had a subtle passive magic that made us feel each other’s emotions, and physical sensations.

After three more falls on my spire we both came hard. She coated my groin in her sweet nectar, and I filled her womb with my seed.

We stayed in our position with her straddling me, and I holding on to her hips for a few moments before she pulls up, and I am pulled out of her with a slight shlick. This last motion causes us both to moan again as we were both sensitive from our orgasms.

Silver lies down next to me, and I pull her closer, and we both fall asleep.

It was night when I woke up, as did Silver. I climb out of the bed we had slept in, and head to the bathroom that was connected to the room we were in. I entered, and cleaned myself of the sex smell, and sleep sweat that I received before returning to the room, and getting dressed as Silver does the same as I.

Once we were ready, we exited the room to see two guards at the side of the doors.

“Guards, please escort us to the throne room.” I tell them. They salute me, and start off in one direction. Silver and I follow them.

“Osiris, if I may know why are we going to the throne room?” Silver asks me.

“It is night time, and mother has yet to return, so I must take control of her royal duties until she does. It is our birth right, and duty to do so. I can’t raise and lower the moon, but I can run the kingdom in her absence.” I tell her. She nods a couple times, and the guard on the left snorts in amusement.

“Speak thine mind sir guard.” I tell him.

“Excuse me if I seem rude Prince, but Princess Celestia has taken over night court as well as her daily duties.” The guard tells me in a gruff voice. Hearing that Celestia is running both day and night court got me to growl in anger.

“Then we shall correct her mistake of holding night court as the Princess of the Solar Empire.” I say as I usher the guards to quicken their pace to a trot instead of walking.

“Your highness if I may?” The guard on the right asks, who I now recall as Claymore.

“Go ahead Guard Claymore.” I tell him.

“The Solar Empire and Lunar Republic have been in harmony ever since Nightmare Moon was banished.” He tells me. This got me to clench my fists.

“Celestia has ruined my Mother’s work?” I ask in a growl.

“Yes your majesty.” Claymore replies with a slight edge of fear in his voice.

“Do not fear us Guard Claymore, for we are angered at the solar pony, not you. Have you thought about our offer?” I ask him as I push my anger down.

“Yes, and I accept it.” He tells me. This got me to smile.

“Good, I will have your new armour made shortly then.” I tell him as I rub a finger along the edge of my armour medallion. Silver puts a hand on my shoulder, and I turn and give her a kiss. I pull away, and see that we are at the throne room.

“Thank you for escorting us. You are dismissed. Claymore, you need to tune your internal clock to the night time so that you can be awake to guard me. Do not worry about punishments, as I will get you out of trouble with the solar guards.” I tell the guard ponies. They both thank me with a bow, and walk away.

I turn with Silver, and enter the throne room, where Celestia is sleepily sitting atop the throne.

“Celestia, I have a few things to discuss with you.” I tell her. She looks up to me, and smiles.

“I’m listening Osiris.” She replies with a yawn at the end.

“First, the solar guard Claymore is now the first lunar guard for this era.” I tell her. She nods for me to continue.

“Second, why would you mix the two empires without my Mother’s word?” I ask her. She seemed to wake up a little at the mention of the empires.

“I couldn’t lead both the Solar Empire, and the Lunar Republic at the same time, so I had the councils of each decide on who will be the new council of the new order of harmony.” She tells me.

“Very well then, now on to the third reason why I am here. You need your strength for the day. Go and sleep, I will take over the nightly duties as it is my birth right to do so when Mother is absent.” I tell her. Celestia gives me a good long stern stare before she yawns.

“I see your point, but are you ready for such a responsibility?” She asks me. I give her a deadpanned look, and she stands up with a sigh.

“Very well Osiris, I will allow you to do night court until Luna returns. Good night Prince of Darkness.” She tells me as she exits the throne room.

Now I was smiling as I walked up to the throne, and sat down in it.

“Ahh, it is good to be in control again.” I say as I sit back in the throne. Silver walks up to me, and I get her to sit on my lap, similar to the way she did before I was turned to stone.

It was a few hours after lunch for me and Silver that a pony came into the throne room. It was a unicorn mare.

“Good evening our little pony, how may we help thee tonight?” We ask her.

“Excuse me, but where is Celestia?” The pony asks me.

“She has given me the responsibilities of night court so she can better control the day.” I tell her. She blinks a couple times.

“Oh, okay, then who are you?” She asks me.

“We are the Prince Osiris.” I tell her. She bows to me, and I smile a little.

“So tell me young one, what are you in need of?” I ask her.

“I am having difficulty with my husband recently, and needed to get away for a while. We are… in a small tiff if you will.” She tells me. I lost my smile.

“Is there a reason you came here for this?” I ask. I knew she had a reason, but if it wasn’t better than needing to get away for a while, then I couldn’t care less.

“Yes, you see my husband is rather… physical when he is angry, and well… just look for yourself.” With this said she turns, and shows me a rather nasty and large bruise along her side.

I stood up, and walked down to the red unicorn mare.

“What did he do this with?” I ask softly as I used silent magics to sooth her pain.

“It was a piece of lumber.” She tells me.

“He must have hit you multiple times then. Tell me, when did this happen.” I reply.

“This morning.” She answers.

“And you didn’t come to see Celestia then because?” I ask her.

“He would have beaten me more.” She says as tears well up in her eyes, “So I came to night court while he is asleep on the couch.” My eyes narrow at this.

“What do you think should happen?” I ask her, “Do you want a restraining order, or time in jail for his crime against you?”

“I would like a restraining order.” She tells me, “And a divorce.” I nod, and float a piece of parchment, a quill, and inkwell over to me. I quickly write up an order of restraint, and signed it. I then wrote up divorce documents, and signed them as well.

“I just need you to sign these, and you will have what you need to be safe.” I tell her.

“If it isn’t too much to ask Prince, may I stay at the castle tonight?” She asks me. I put a hand on my chin. I see a servant walking on the side of the throne room.

“Maid, please come here for a few moments.” I say to the servant pony.

“What do you need prince?” She asks me with a bow.

“Is there a free room in the lunar wing?” I ask her. The maid thinks on this for a few seconds.

“Yes, it is near your room.” She tells me.

“Good, please take this mare to that room, and see that she is comfortable tonight.” I tell her. She nods before waving for the unicorn mare to follow her. Said unicorn mare gives me her thanks and a bow before exiting the throne room.

I walk back up to the throne, and sit down, letting Silver back into my lap. Silver curls up, and nuzzles into my neck, and I put my left arm around her back to hold her there.
There wasn’t another pony that night, and Silver kept my company during said night.
