The crisp gentle breeze of a winter morning was refreshing as I idly lounged on Celestia's throne.

"Stupid fat mares." I grumbled still pissed that I had been kicked out of bed early this morning as punishment for my jab at the mares weight. I had made a passing comment still half asleep whilst trying to get out being comparing it to being in a maze of fat. As a result I had been forced to leave the bed at five in the morning because the girls were petty like that. Groaning I stretched my legs out rubbing my eyes as I tried not to fall asleep.

I had briefly checked in on the bloody hooves castle. The castle was good if a bit dull at times as it had no real character. It was beautiful in design and the items that had been brought and built here were of expensive and good quality but it needed a bit of life. Apart from the occasional cleaning maid their was no one here. I knew that the maids hated this place as it was still once owned by the creatures that had tried to kill of their village but after scanning and searching this place countless times I had deemed it safe for them and despite their protest the maids got paid so really could not complain. Nurse stitches and I had been in touch the mare had invited me for my tea next Saturday as a thank you for giving her father something to work on as the stallion had been struggling to find work. A carpenter in such a small town was not as needed as his quality of work meant that things he built lasted. This was both a blessing and a curse as he had gained a good reputation but meant he had little business when no one needed anything replaced or built.

He specialized in metal work as well which was a strange duel trade given that both were specific specialties. none the less he had been very useful as he had been in charge of rebuilding damaged parts of the castle and had done a damn good job.

He had been paid handsomely for his work and one of his wife's diamond drill who specialized in crafting and molding gems into fine jewelry, had made me a stunning bracelet with a fire ruby as a thank you.

Snapping myself out of my thoughts I gave a small gasp as I realized that I was running slightly late.

"Shit better get a move on.

"Remind me again why I am here?" Nyx asked, tilting her head in confusion as I gave a small groan.

"Look as I have said Queen Platinum is far older than both of us and has far more experience in black and dark magic than us. If anyone can teach you how to unlock your full potential it will be her. I know you have been here for less than a day but the sooner we get started on reforming you the sooner you can prove yourself to Equestria. I know it is humiliating but if you suck it up and stick at this you could do great things and do so much good for the people of Equestria. Between you and me you are not the first nor will you be the last to go though this. Nightmare Moon Molestia, Eris and even Razor Wing went though trials by the other to prove themselves reformed it is merely your turn now." I finished the mare huffing as she followed me up the steps.

"But they were your mates, I am sure they got off lightly." She growled as I gave her a sad smile.

"Anything but, Luna was an absolute bastard to Moon making her call her princess and forcing the pregnant mare to bow in her presence. She was civil to the mare in public but treated her like a stuck of noble would a working class pony. Celestia was better but no less nasty even making subtle remarks about her weight and how she was contributing nothing and was a waste of resources and food. Had I not stormed up to the two and screamed myself half deaf the two might have never stopped. When I told them that Moon had stopped eating because of depression and the barbed insults the two were horrified. They had never meant to hurt her just punish her for her past crimes. Too bad they choice to do so where they were also putting the foal at risk with their pettiness. The mares make mistakes and trust me when I say you have gotten off very lightly as they have learnt from past mistakes. The two used Eris and our pups as emotional black mail to keep Discord inline did you know that. They can all be very petty at times but now they do all generally love each other and I know for a fact they would give their life's to protect each other. It is just to bad they are all so head strong. hell I was gone for two years and came back to find them at each others throats." I finished the mare going silent thinking about my words.

"So you actually showed up?"

Turning I gave an involuntary shiver coming face to face with Queen Umbra.The mare glared at me with a look of sheer loathing, the gentle purple haze that oozed from her eyes glowing in the low sun light as she grunted turning as her mother walked in.

"Playing nice I hope." Platinum spoke up smiling as her daughter rolled her eyes returning to her position by the wall. "Lachlan it is great to see that you have come to check up on us. I am happy to say that my daughter no longer wants to murder most of Equestria though I cant say the same for you or your herd." She laughed light heatedly her daughter rolling her eyes at the bubbly mare.

"So what brings you to my humble abode." the mare asked sitting herself down on her throne.

"You know why I am here!"

"I swear she asks me to spend a couple of hours with you and this shit happens." I growl barely pushing back the horde of dragon as the mare growls next to me. My magical shield would only last for so long as hundreds of drakes slammed into the side of the light blue bubble. Umbra was currently wrestling with one of the dragons that had gotten though before the shield the two clawing at each other as Umbra grabbed the beast by the throat.

"Forgive me if I wished to explore more of this modern world. When last I walked here it was a simple village and not a breeding ground for these filthy lizards." she snarled throwing one if the drakes to the ground as she slammed her foot down on its skull. The dragoness cried out in pain before going limp small trickles of blood coming from her nose as she moaned in pain. I gave her credit that atleast she wasn't killing them.

"You know what you are a fucking pain in the ass." I spat my fist slamming into one of the dragons that had broken though the shield. The dragon mating ground was a place that was off limits to all but dragons. Sadly a stuck up tyrant with a bad attitude did not help the situation when decided to insult the large creatures. Most of the dragons were to my discomfort female and seemed to have no problem with being naked. Queen or more accurately Princess Umbra was a foul bitch and I honestly could not stand her. Platinum had agreed to reform Nyx in exchange that I escort and keep her daughter in line so she can explore more of the world.

Unsurprisingly being trapped in a castle had stunted the mares progress, having become enraged and bitter well more so than usual at being kept like a prisoner. Hesitantly I had agreed on the condition that at the first sign of trouble I get to haul her ass back here.

"Why must you antagonize all that approach you these dragons whilst aggressive were willing to let us leave. Honestly if you were not such a brat then maybe this shit wouldn't happen." I lectured once again firing out powerful blasts of magic as dragons fell like flies in a bug zapper.

"I care not for your delusion of civility these beasts would have attacked us the moment we attempted to leave. If you had informed me before hand then maybe we could have chosen a better location!" the mare spat her eyes glowing a murky green as we vanished. landing on my back I nimbly rolled out the way as Umbra landed on one knee the sharp clang of armor ringing out as I gave her a small glare.

"You did that on purpose." I spat the mare giving a small harrumph. I had completed my part of the bargain, got the bitch out the castle for a couple of hours. Granted I had to admit that for the first few hours the mare visiting old locations had been interesting it was just to bad that she spoilt it by being a jackass.

"She is a good leader, but her social skills suck." I commented as Platinum came to stand beside me, the two of us watching as Queen Umbra gave out orders to the guards. "It really is a shame she has such potential and could do so much good but she refuses to get over this bitter obsession with ruling." I sighed, Platinum giving a small nod in agreement.

"She is much like Princess Luna though lacks the components for kindness. It breaks my heart because growing up she was one of the sweetest fillies you could meet. I fear that if she does not accept her faults and try to let it go she will lose herself to the corruption again." Platinum replied turning as she left me to think. I did not know what to do with the mare.

"I will find a away to help her." I whispered snapping my fingers as I teleported back to canterlot.

You know I think I could get used to eating meat!" Celestia laughed. Delving in about the assortment of food, I idly nibbled on a my burger watching in horror and awe at how quickly the mare was eating. Food seemed to simply vanish, her hands a blur. Pausing she snatched at a chicken wing tearing into the tender meat with a ferocity not unlike a manticore. Celestia had really developed a crave for meat and despite the horror of the servants and the other herd members based her diet more like mine.

Despite her stomach having no noticeable bulge, when she was not on the throne the mare liked to strip down to just pants and a hoodie. The mare had made a trip with me to a popular 'Trot topic'. I had to admit the look of disbelief on the teenage workers faces at seeing their princess walk in looking for a stylish hoodie had nearly been worth the hours of clothes shopping. She had in the end went for a black hoodie displaying her cutie mark splattered with blood and the word Tyrant in red written across the chest. I had picked up a couple of tops for the rest of the girls. My favorite being 'Who needs diplomacy skills when you have tits like these' which I knew Molly would appreciate.

"I cant belief you bought that hoodie I swear that kid looked like she was going to have a heart attack." I chuckled.

"I thought it was cute, I love my subjects but they seem to have strange views of me. I have been seen as a sexual deviant though that may be Molestia's doing a mean prankster which I thought was Discords occupation and even an evil tyrant. I honestly have to say that the claims and ideas are funny more than anything else but I can not deny that they sting. I have tried to be a calm and gentle ruler but despite what I try ponies see me as this god that can smite down any that speak out against me. This has been good for war and hostility but had severely isolated me from society. It is hard to go out for a drink when the owner kicks everypony out or offers free drinks all night. In all honestly the herd has made life interesting for the first time in three thousand years." Celestia sighed resting her head on my chest.

Feeling naughty I gave the mare's ass a firm group, playfully sticking my hands down her hoodie. Groping the swollen milk engorged breasts, the mare gave a whimper of pleasure. Her mouth met mine in an aggressive dominant display, her tongue wresting with mine. Alicorns were not like regular ponies, their hormones were far more aggressive and as a result so were the mare's tempers during pregnancy. Celestia had to everyone's surprise been one of the most aggressive out of the lot, even Faust was slightly off put by her daughters hair trigger switch. The mare could turn from the kind loving ruler into the mare that had nearly had Twilight in tears for bumping into her .

Alicorns and Changeling queens were two of the most unpredictable species during pregnancy. Molestia had tried to stab me with a pen when I had told her to move her fat arse after an argument. Chrysalis had tried to strangle me when we got a cat scan on the baby.Christ I think Nightmare Moon was one of the more tame surprisingly, only ever really shouting at me and crying. Celsetia on the other hand had already bitten me three drawing blood the second, punched me in the eye which had stung like a bitch. She had also thrown me out a window which was good because it was the window I was running for anyway. The crazed bitch had been tried to hit me with a chair, I admitted that I did kind of deserve that, for calling her princess Ballona. Though in my defense she had been a moody bitch that day. But despite all that the mare would always come back tearful begging for forgiveness. It kind of reminded me of an abusive spouse but the I was willing to forgive her if only because she never acted like this before.

"You know you are an abusive mate!" I stated the mare snorting as she buried her head deeper humming gently her wings encased us in a light but warm blanket. Her legs intertwined with my own her arms wrapped around my chest keeping me close to her. The mare gave a small yawn her magenta eyes looking up at me affectionately, a small pout on her face.

"I'm not abusive." she mumbled huffing as I gently scratched her ear.

A lone figure walked down an empty corridor guards laying unconscious and limp as the beast uncaring walked over the ponies. At the back a severely beaten queen Celestia stood with her exhausted sister the two glaring at the beast as a smirk adorned its face. Luna screamed in pain her magic being absorbed by the beast. In a panicked state Queen Celestia and her sister teleported leaving the beast alone.

“Run whilst you can I will finish you two later.” he spat annoyed that he had only managed to absorb a small portion of the lunar alicorns magic. Looking down at the destroyed city most of the inhabitants dead the beast could only grin as he watched the approaching form of Queen Umbra the untainted mare, unaware that her fate was sealed. The mare was ruler of one of the only remaining pure locations left in Equis. The rest having been corrupted by himself. Once Umbra was dead he would personally see to it that the empire burned!

“I will remind these weak ponies, why they once feared the name, TIREK!”
