A True Brother

Chapter 4

Equestria 5085 B.H. [Before Harmony]

Dream Castle Home of the Six Princesses.

It was  light summer evening the Alicorn Princesses were playing with the colts in the gardens of Princess Posey.  Who couldn’t help but play with them,  a lute was playing as a Vander stallion was tenderly casting his lover asleep with his melody.  His blond black tail entangled with  her elegant white and baby blue as the two nuzzled contently.

The mare the Young Princesses got to know as Majesty was heavy with foal.  And it was surely to be an interesting birth to many of the other ponies.

A pegasus of pink and blue maned looked over the couple as she went towards the garden with a matching foal of her own.  "Come on Baby Firefly.. you said you wanted to play with the Alicorn Princesses." It was a tender moment as Mother and Daughter went off.. "Just like Majesty to be the strange one."

"Momma how i was born," the little pegasus looked up to her mother.

"I'll tell ya when your older I really don't want to bring that place up again." Firefly nudged the little filly with her head againest its rump as the lute played.

Valor looked up with a chuckle as he looked to Majesty  "So you found the Pool of Mirrors."   Which made her giggle.

"The other mares just decided it be silly to raise the clones are children, It made sense at the time seeing as the Big Brother's had been gone," She nuzzled up to him  "But it's good to see a few Brother's decided to come and Visit."

"Now I told you to call me Valor.. not Big Brother, it seems off seeing as we're expecting," Valor frowned some as he looked to her sky blue eyes as she nuzzled into him.  "Besides I'm here more to take some findings to the Grand."

"Ohhh Poo and I thought it was too see silly old me," Majesty pouted as she booped his nose with her hoof.

"A Knight's work is never done Princess," He stated as he looked to her "But one belonging needs to be  claimed now." And with his blueish aura he pulled over  a small flower crown he made the day before. Placeing it on her head.

From across the hill Celestia  stopped laughing looking over to  Valor and Majesty from the distance her heart shinking a bit as she saw ...the one stallion she trusted this  whole time... Make one of the hardest choices of his life. "Careful now dear Brother." She watched him  as he made the

Luna came up behind her sister with a bit of a worried look "He popped the question didn't he too.. Our Teacher."

Celestia nodded "They seem to be really happy.. I didn't know they were that close."

"Well she is expecting a Foal, It was only a matter of time till Brother was going to take responability." Luna was right but it was still hard to see for both the sisters.

"I loved him more than a Brother Luna," Celestia sighed some as she turned to Luna... whos eyes narrowed a bit "But I know I need to let him go for her ... and see what this new foal brings."

Luna nodded as she smiled to her matureing sister "It's a wise decision he would do the same if it was us." Luna  herself only saw Valor as more of a Father than a brother. "The birth should be any time now seeing as it been the estimated 11 moons."

"11 Moons you been keeping track of her by months, Luna," Celestia was impressed now as she looked to her sister.

"I just find birth fancisnateing dear sister, and seeing as it's the first natural birth these Ponies will see it just adds to the excitement," Luna smiled some as she trotted down to their brother.

"WAIT AUNTIE CELLY YOU HAD A CRUSH ON!!!... But you said he was your brother," Blueblood  made some disgusted tone as the tell took this turn..

"HONORARY!!  VALDIMIR HE WAS MY HONORARY BROTHER GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SPOILED SKULL!!," It was the first time Celestia  ever really yelled at him.

"I I ... I'm sorry auntie celly," As he looked down to his hooves Luna  went to him.

"That was a bit Harsh sister." She said looking over to her sister.. placeing a dark blue hoof around Blueblood.

"I'm sorry I just... I miss Valor too damn much," Celestia turned.. as she started weeping it was starting to become a hard story to tell Blueblood what happened.

"Why don't you just... tell me how he died, And why he's not allowed to be mentioned." Blue said as he kicked his hoof againest the marble floor.

Both sisters looked to each other. nodding knowing it was time.

"Run Majesty,, Get Noble out of here ..... Sombra guard her with your stregth, Starswirl..... you teach the boy the best you can, " Valor was rushing his family out of Dream Castle.  "Get out now...." He looked to  the Princesses  "You two.... it's your duty now to  guard Ponyland."

Celestia and Luna looked to each other nodding "We promise Brother."

He quickly kissed the head of the white foal with blond mane  "Your his big sisters now. You guard Noblicblood from this evil over the land."

Before they all could leave... they had to hide behind a barrel.  A creature of darkened feathers and crazed eyes landed before them. holding a sword to Valor's thoart.

"Well well, if it isn't Sir Valor, of the Templar's Lord TIrek wants a word with you," Bedlam smirked as he dug the tip some into Valor's neck causeing him to want to back up.  Sombra was about to scream out but Luna covered his mouth with a hoof.

"Sshh," It was almost as quiet as a mouse as the two warriors looked to each other.

"I have no words for you.." Valor said standing his ground. Proveing his family proud as Majesty began to cover the crys of his son.  As the clocked centuar came in slowly... "You will never know the secret we found at the Temple of Sinclair."   Form the other side a winged monster with ape like features placed a rope around Valor's neck.

"Scorpan and Tirek," Celestia mouthed not makeing it easily heard "What's Bedlam doing with them."

"Probably thinking they'd make good rolemodels for Discord," Luna mouthed back to her sister. Than she looked to Sombra's eyes as the a dark power began to seep from his eyes.

"They can't do that too brother... can they sisters." it was a message he gave deep in their heads. and it was clear now what Sombra's talent was and his rump sparkled with that of a dark crystal.  "Let me go... I need to save brother."

"Sombra it's not safe let's sneak out..."  As the family began to move and Majesty lightly crying they could see the conversation getting worse ..and a tiny Discord  not likeing the scene either Hideing behind a bed on the other side of the room.

"YOU WILL NOT GET THE  SECRET!!."
