I’m standing on a burnt reddish planet, the sun is massive and hangs in the sky as a pained red disc. I hear my name shouted behind me and am tackled from behind. Feeling no ill intent from the massive attacker I don’t fight it simply twisting to see them as they hug me.

“Wolf? How are you here?” It’s Luna, but she’s different. Massive and scarred. She is the size of Celestia and her power feels like all of existence is packed into her. She plants a kiss on me initially passionate but breaks off at my surprise. “Wait, something's wrong. Wolf, you look so young, your eyes are... “ She trails off trying to figure it out.

Confusion floods me. “Where am I? Or should I ask when? I just went to sleep after Discord and Pinkie threw me that weird extradimensional welcome to Equestria party. Dreaming outside of reality... This is the end of the world isn’t it? When the material world begins to dissolve back into the dream realm”

She nods and gets off of me with a sad look. “I must look strange to your eyes, back then…” She suddenly beams at me. “I’ll accept this as a final gift from my long lost brother. A chance to see my long lost lover. Thank you Discord. Wolf, can I be yours again? One last time before I fade from this world and go to the next. I know it must be weird, we haven't even begun our friendship yet to you. Then again it was after you got back from that mission that we started getting to know each other better. You once told me that the party was a night of a thousand casualties that Equestria created to protect itself in the absence of the Elements. Now that the unreality filter isn’t affecting you, every word I speak is a causality isn’t it?”

My mind overheats and my thoughts cycle through concepts as I try to process this entire thing. She wants to be mine again. She says I look young and would recognize her current form. Whatever I do tonight will cause tonight to happen. The party I just had created a lot of casualties that save Equestria. She is looking at me with a slightly bowed head and her eyes scream desire, lonliness and pain. I can smell her scent in the air, more intense than it was in my time. She is all alone in this dying world that has merged with the ethereal plane. Her eyes are that of a goddess, untold hauntings matched by an equally untold amount of experience and wisdom.

These thoughts blurred by in the time it took Luna to blink. I smile and place a hand under her muzzle and bring her into a passionate kiss. She needs me, this world and her will soon fade to dust. Even though I’m only here through a quirk of time I will not let her spend her final moments alone. For a moment I am rocked by a simple realization of how easy it would be to fall for her.

The kiss breaks off and for once I’m the one left breathless. Kissing her is like falling forever into the night sky. She gives me a coy smile. “I’ve missed you, Wolf.” Her voice is almost a purr and she adds two words at the end in a breathy tone that sends a wave of delicious shock through me. “My Alpha.”

I embrace her and kiss her again. I feel a powerful warping around us. Not losing contact with her she takes a step back and falls with me landing on top of her on a large comfy bed. Eventually the passionate kiss comes to a halt as I attempt to refocus my mind. A grin has spread across her face as a hoof idly trails down my back. She smirks and twists her hoof in the small of my back resulting in a shock spreading through all my body. Shadows explode into being around me at the touch. She turns her head to the side tilts it back exposing her neck to me.

A grin that matches her’s spreads across my face as I lean in and gently bite down. She shivers in pleasure and her gasp brings my member to full attention. I explore her body, my fingers trailing the contours of her neck and enjoying the smooth silky quality that her mane possess. Describing the exact texture and scent of her mane would take the greatest of poets and lovers a decade and the result would be as abstract and fulfilled as a description of reality itself. She relaxes into the exploration moaning and gasping as I enjoy the beautiful mare before me.

Soon my exploration leads me to her burning center and she holds her breath in anticipation. I gently trail my fingers down her slit and lick her. The scent of her is intoxicating and her taste is sweet. My mind strains to handle the sensations flowing through me as I explore her with my tongue. Her flowing tail wraps around me as her hind hooves pull me closer. Her hips buck as her breathing grows ragged. Her body spasm and I feel a burst of pain through me as her hooves dig in hard. Her strength is incredible and I’m forced to push the power flowing into me through a defensive spell to keep her from doing lethal damage to me. As it is I think I feel a rib fracture

She releases me and I move up on the bed to lay next to her “My Wolfie, I’ve missed you. I was hoping we could play a game, one final scene after far too long without you.” Her lustful tone leaves no doubt in my mind about what kind of game she wants to play. She glances at the corner of the bed and I notice that the head of the bed has a rune inlaid collar with a long section of chain heading to the ground. The possibilities are delicious.

“Oh right, we haven't done this yet. Or you haven't, or…” She trails off with a frustrated growl that sends a shiver through me. “Alright, one more paradox to create. Our safe words are red, yellow and green, you taught me them so I imagine you know what is for when. I like it when you overpower me and make me your pet. This is why you knew all that about me isn’t it?”

I laugh as I see the perplexed frustrated look cross her face. I kiss her again. “Try not to think about that stuff too much, trust me I’ve been dealing with time-space crap all day and it just hurts your brain if you think to much. Now” I let my voice take on a more commanding tone that sends a shiver through Luna “let’s play a little game, Luna.”

I shift in the bed rolling on top of her and pinning her legs back. Her resistance is met with me severely boosting my strength. I don’t have to hold back in the slightest with her, I actually can sense she is holding back a lot herself. As I try and hook the color on her she knocks me completely off the bed. She doesn’t look surprised as I rise with a growl and smile. This is going to be fun. I launch myself back at her and pin her front hooves with my elbows managing to lock it in place. A small giggle escapes Luna as the collar clicks closed. She tests the chain and looks satisfied that they resist her strength. Her aura is much more subdued now as the collar blocks her magic.

“I was worried you wouldn’t be able to handle me anymore. Though seeing you wreathed in power like that just to play with me is new. It’s been a lonely without you, my love. When you get back to your home tell Discord that he’s the best brother I’ve ever had.”

I kiss her again and smirk. “You know out of context this isn’t exactly a great gift. Now are you going to be a good pet, Luna?”

Her voice and demeanor change as she shifts into the role. “No, we art the Princess of the Moon. We shall never submit to thou, Lord of Shadows.”

I give her an evil smile and slide off the bed standing over her. Her eyes betray the intensity of her desires. Like she said she likes it when I make her my pet. She starts to stand and I put a hand on her chest and push her back down holding her in place.

“We’ll see about that. You might find you like being my pet.” I trail my fingers down her chest and entwine my fingers in her mane. “The rewards of being a good pet are immense.” My fingers touch the outside of her slit and I gently run my finger over her clit, eliciting a gasp. “And the punishments for being a bad pet are quite severe.” My fingers tighten in her mane for a moment and her eyes widen. “Are you going to be a good pet” a teasing press to her clit “or a bad one?” I leave the threat unfulfilled until I see a hint of disappointment. This time I tug her mane.

“Yellow, we don’t have time for my usual resistance. Green. I- I- I will be a good pet, Master.” I smile evilly.

“Prove your worth pet. Service me.”

She leaps off the bed and gently nudges me backwards onto it. I sit on the bed as she removes my pants with effort from her weakened telekinesis. My hardness stands out aching for attention. She kneels and nuzzles my erection inhaling it’s scent deeply. She teasingly licks the pre from the tip. She slowly draws me into her until her muzzle is buried in my fur. I moan at the touch as she plays with me with her tongue. She works her muzzle up and down my shaft expertly. A gentle hoof caresses my knee and gently trails up my leg and abs and settle on my chest slowly circling through my chest hair. I moan again in the ecstasy of her touch.

All too soon I feel the pressure in my loins building as my body seeks release. A moan from her sends another shock of pleasure through me and the dam bursts. She moans as my seed shoots into her mouth sucking every drop out that she can. She smiles and stands a glow from her horn covering her muzzle cleaning the semen off. She looks at me expectantly.

“You have done a wonderful job, my pet. I think you deserve a reward.” I guide her to the bed and lay her down, her legs splay as I kneel between her legs. I trace my member up and down her slit and she opens for me. Gently I thrust into her gasping at the sudden tightness and incredible heat of the contact. A low moan escapes Luna’s mouth as I enter her.

I lean down and kiss her and our tongues dance as I thrust into her slowly and steadily. I am caught up in the wonderful velvety feel of her against me. Soon our breaths come in ragged gasps of pleasure as I quicken the pace and drive into her. Her legs almost crush me again as she lets out a loud wordless shout. Feeling her tightening against me and smelling the juices of her orgasm I lose control of myself and drive into her with abandon driving her orgasm further as I tip into my own release.

I collapsed on top of her hugging her to me as our bodies come down from the activities. I lay next to her and she cuddles me close.

“Wolf, I’m scared. Thank you for being here with me, my love. The sun will die soon, just please, hold me.”

I hold her tight as we lay in the bed beneath the sun. A flash lights the sky as she holds me and looks up with wonder. “I love you, Wolf. I’ll see you soon, my love.”

I kiss her as I feel the heat rising. “I love you too. I’ll see you soon, just a different time of you. I’m glad I could be here for you.”

The wave of light and heat from the sun reaches us and the last sensation I feel is the agony of being burned alive. Luna has a smile on her face as we die together at the end of the world.

I awake with a gasp still feeling the burning agony of the- my mind hesitates at trying to call it a dream. Looking around everypony is staring at me freaked out.

“Jeez, if you had used strength like that in our duel you might have won.” Chulainn says holding her front claw.

“Sorry, beautiful. I kinda experienced the end of the world and it hurt a lot. Discord, I have a message from Luna for you. ‘Tell Discord he’s the best brother in the world, thank you for this gift. Whether you meant it or not. I agree, I was glad to be with Luna in her final moments. Is everypony ok?”

Applejack and Jade nod. Chulainn just snorts and Nightshade glares at me.

“You kept whispering Luna’s name and I heard you call her your pet.” Nightshade looks at me annoyed.

“Yeah, turns out I end up marrying her sometime in the next thousand years or so. Why does it matter to you anyways? It’s not like we are in a relationship. Chulainn, let me fix your leg.”

I press my hands to her and am shocked to discover I broke a bone. While I’m kneeling over her she whispers into my ear. “You’ll have to show me this whole pet thing in person some time. Don’t even try and tell me that the dream thing was unrelated to what was poking me when I woke up. Well before the entire screaming in agony as you died a horrible death thing.”

I give her a smirk. “You know where to find me, most of the time anyways.”

She nods and flexes her claw experimentally. She smiles “I need to be going now. Have fun on your date with Nightshade.”

She walks out through the archway and I turn to Nightshade. “I suppose I need to be going. I’ve got a date with a really sexy unicorn tonight.”

She gives me an annoyed look. “Who is it this time?”

I facepalm. “I’ll give you a hint. She has deep blue eyes that hold the spirit of the night. A flowing silky blood red mane and tail that draw out my instincts and make me want to run my hands through them. She has a gorgeous blue coat that that reminds me of a perfect day sky. Her power is incredible and her battle lust can rival my own.”

She looks surprised. “This is before our date? That’s when you're from? Wait, we haven't even gone on a date yet and I’ve slept in the same bed as you? What would my mother think?”

“Well, you’ve been on a date with me at least. Besides we are outside of time right now and it’s not like we did anything anyways, right? Well, I’m off. See you in a few hours when I can talk without all these limits on what we can remember.” With that I walk out of the portal and find myself standing in the doorway to my room.

Looking at the clock I smile and hop into the shower to get clean. Finally I dress in my stylish black robes. These robes are the mages equivalent to an Armani suit. Silk, velvet and silver inlaid runes with glowing gemstones fueling the ridiculous amounts of enchantments. They are the very definition of dress to impress. Throwing my pack onto my back after belting on my two favorite swords I smile at the mirror.

I know that clothes in general are considered fancy here, but I want to be impressive. Not to mention I know something is gonna go wrong tonight and I want to be prepared to kill the life out of anything that messes up my date. Finally ready I pull out the supplies Star had dropped off and begin making an elegant broomstick. Rowan shaft, various magical twigs and finally 2 bars worth of star metal, a bar of cold iron and several large gemstones of perfect arcane cut. I’m still missing a feather from a powerful pegasus for a foci and some hematite for a stabilizer spell, however these can wait.

Satisfied I put my masterpiece over my shoulder and walk out of my room. I see Jade. “Hi Jade, been to the party that can only be talked about to those who have been to it because of the laws of time-space yet?”

She looks at me with a puzzled grin. “I don’t think so?”

“Alright, let me know when you have, I wanna talk about it. I’m going on a date tonight, and my date will be sitting in the directors box with me. Also, I made my broomstick finally! Lets go flying together!”

I’m in high spirits from the party, the Dream and the date. After we exit the theater together I throw my legs over the side of my broom and kick myself into the air. It has the speed and grace of a pegasus. Not to mention an auto summon spell that will always bring it to me if I lose it. Me and Jade happily play in the sky soon joined by other changeling and even a pegasus or two. Unfortunately I have to cut the fun short and I excuse myself and head for where Nightshade told me her house was.

Surprisingly it’s in an interesting neighborhood. Everypony seems to be from a variety of wealth and status, however, the aura of darkness comes from everypony on the street. Several suspicious looks are aimed at me as I look around.

I call out to the street. “Does anypony know where Nightshade lives?”

Several glares and a large unicorn walks up to me with a look of anger. “What is your purpose with her?”

I smile. “I’m picking her up for a date and she told me where her house is but, well, I kinda can’t tell which one it is.”

He takes a step back and glares at me. “A date? A knight is here seeking out a necromancer for a date? I don’t believe that for a second. We are dark mages employed by the crown for the good of Equestria and we-”

I cut him off and hold up the token Celestia gave me earlier. “Yep! Me too! And believe it or not, somehow I managed to convince the absolutely beautiful and powerful Nightshade to go on a date with me tonight. I know it’s hard to believe, but somehow she finds a homely wretch like me atractive.”

I’m happy to see his shocked look. “A knight is a blanker? What is moving in the shadows to bring this about?”

“What’s a blanker?”

He facehoofs. “A pony with a blank check in black magic. You can use any spell, bend any rule and do whatever you want. I thought only the higher ups in Black Sun held that privilege.”

“He is a higher up member of Black Sun.” Nightshades voice sounds out from behind me. I turn and beam at her. She’s dressed in a simple but elegant black dress that somehow shimmers in the light of the falling sun. She is breathtakingly beautiful.

“But I haven't even joined Black Sun yet. I’ll admit I want to, but isn’t there some kind of initiation required?”

She shrugs. “We’ll take care of that tomorrow. For now we’ve decided that since we make such a potent pairing and I’ve lacked a partner for too long to be ignored that you will be my partner if you accept and join us. Because I’m an Elite, that makes you one too. Not to mention you're a knight, a blanker and sexy.”

I smirk. “Sexiness is a factor?”

She smirks back. “It is when it’s mostly depraved mares voting.”

This gets a laugh out of everypony listening, making me realize that the streets seem to be filling with ponies all giving off the dangerous feeling of black mages. “Of course I’ll accept, now” I smile at her and pull my broom back out. “How do you feel about flying?”

She looks at the broom uncertain as I mount it. “Just sit behind me and wrap your hooves around me tight. I’ll keep us close to the ground. I always had a thing for motorcycles in my world and picking up my date on one was always on my bucket list.”

She looks at me confused. “Wolf, care to explain that one?”

“Over dinner, I wanna feel the wind in my mane and the sweet embrace of a half scared mare clinging to me like her life depends on it.”

She gives me a deadpan expression. “Not helping convince me.”

I shift over right next to her and lean in. “Come on the wild side. The thrill of the ride is almost as good as the thrill I’ll reward you with.”

With another moment of hesitation, she sits behind me and throws her hooves around my chest clinging tightly as we rise into the air a little. She squees when I take off forward at reckless speeds just above the heads of the ponies on the streets. Her fear melts as she stops clinging and starts to relax snuggling me and shouting with joy at some of the breakneck turns. All too soon we touch down at Harmony Cafe.

I stash the broom in my pack and lead her inside. Star looks at us worriedly. “There might be a few problems tonight.” He points a hoof to the corner and I spot Moon Light in the corner. Surprisingly she offers a small subdued wave that shocks the thestrals around her. She gets out of her chair and walks towards us. I scowl, not what I wanted to deal with tonight.

She hesitates at the scowl and then keeps coming. “I just wanted to say I’m sorry about everything and wish you luck tonight. I hope she turns out to be a better mare then I was. Some day, I’ll break the shackles of my family, but for now all I can say is I’m sorry for everything.”

She turns and trots out the door with a single lingering gaze backward. Nightshade turns to me with a smile. “An ex?”

I nod disinterestedly and lead Nightshade to our private table.

“I take it the owner wanted me out of sight?”

I frown at her. “This is his best booth. It’s hard to get a reservation for it. He would never let me down though. It’s the perfect spot, away from any ponies eyes and has a priority service.”

She looks at the secluded booth with fresh eyes and nods. “Like it’s a private restaurant just for us. Any idea what you want?”

I hesitate. “Actually I wanted to talk to you before i ordered. I know it’s common to have the mare paying here, but…” I trail off searching for the right words.

“Your culture expects the stallion to pay?”

“Exactly. It feels weird thinking about having the mare pay. Besides money isn’t an issue for me, just from my cut of this show alone as the director, owner and er… well I provided the original play.”

She snorts. “In short you find it weird to have the underpaid teacher who is a mare paying for the rich stallion?” Another snort that breaks into a chuckle. “You have no idea who I am do you?”

“A really cute and dangerous mare? Does your work for the Black Sun pay that well?”

“Well there goes the theory that you were acting like this because of my family. I am actually a noble and a business owner. I run a shop that sells anything related to magic, enchanting and arcano-tech. Anything we don’t have on hoof we order for a small fee. We have a low questions no worries policy.”

“‘I’ll have to check it out later then. Might find something interesting.”

“Actually, I know you will, we have an entire section devoted to rune working as well as a lot of rare tomes of arcane forging and crafting.”

I beam interested. “You had me at rune working.”

She giggles adorably. Unfortunately, the waitress interrupts our animated discussion. Nightshade turns to her. “We are separating orders, I’ll have the Golgari root tea for my drink, Wolf?”

“Mountain Dew.”

She archs her eyebrows at me as the waitress trots off to get the drinks. “Why a soft drink? I would have thought you a tea drinker.”

“I love tea, but I have no idea how any of them taste or will affect me. I have weird interactions with herbs because of my magic. A perfectly normal chamomile tea from back home is a potent sleeping drug to me. Likewise the highly deadly flower nightshade actually bolsters my healing ability when combined with ginger root. I don’t even want to think about the effects of wolf’s bane.”

“Ah, I suggest you experiment. Life is unfulfilled without tea.”

“Indeed, I’m thinking about finding an herbology book that has information on astral alignments and cross referencing it with teas to find one I like that has benefits. I’ll need to keep some medics on hand while testing, just in case something horrible happens.”

The waitresses return with our drinks. “Are you ready to place your order?”

“I know what I really want but I can’t have that in this world. I’ll take the lemon pepper salmon with an order of black rolls and a side of closh.”

Nightshade looks at me strangely. “Meat? Your eating meat?”

“I’m a carnivore. I’m actually craving red meat but there aren't any non-sentient red meat beings in this world. There's a lot of things from my old world I’m going to miss. Bacon is high on that list.”

“Wolf, we have bacon in stock. Boars are not sentient.” The waitress says with a smile.

I look at the waitress in surprise and delight. “I’ll be back for the bacon later it really isn’t a compliment for this meal. Nightshade, is me eating meat a problem?”

She looks at me surprised. “I’m a necromancer. I make the bodies of sentient beings into puppets to my will and have killed a fair share of ponies. No, eating meat isn’t really on my list of dealbreakers. It’s just surprising, not only do you eat meat but you brought me to a place where ponies serve it publicly. I’m actually impressed. I’ll have what he ordered, except swap the cloche for hay fries.”

I smirk. “Interesting.”

She gives me a dubious look. “What did you really not expect me to eat meat after saying all of that?”

My smirk deepens and I give her a wide-eyed innocent look. “I was actually questioning what’s wrong with closh. It’s the closest thing mac an cheese I’ve seen yet. So many things I wish I knew, like how to make pasta or electricity.”

“You mean like lightning? I’ve seen you use lightning before.”

My eyes go wide as it strikes me, I can create electricity! I can even make a magic to electricity and back device. I could make so many wonderful things.

“You look like you plotting something.” Nightshade states and I explain to her the concept of modern devices as we eat. Pulling out my mp3 player some copper wires and the charger… a little bit of lightning magick and some runes to control the output...

Plugging it into the small construct I’m happy to see the charging symbol. I hit play and am happy to hear the music coming out. “I’ve got something to show you later.” I declare with a smile stashing it away. Theres been a song in my mind ever since I met her and I’ve got the karaoke version of it. I’ll just have to jury-rig a speaker later. I’m gonna ponify it a bit and I figured she’d get a kick out of it. Dinner goes lovely but we still have an hour until the play starts so I decide to get Discord to help me with a private performance.

Unfortunately Fluttershy is there so after setting me up with some subwoofers from my memory he poofs them both away for a few minutes. Jade and Nightshade sit next to each other in the director’s box. They’ve been chatting while I set up. They keep giving me leering looks that send a cold feeling down my back and somehow I can’t hear them. Nightshade’s horn is glowing softly and I’m guessing it’s related.

Finally I stand at the read and grab the mic. The changeling in charge of hitting play pushes the button and I start

Living Dead mare!

Rage in the cage, and kill upon the stage

There's only one sure way, to bring the giant down

Defunct the strings, of cemetary things

With one flat foot on the Devil’s wing

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead mare

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead mare

Taking the weak, and making them freak

Like a hunchback juice, on a sentimental noose

Operation filth, they love to love the wealth

Of an SS Whorse, making scary sounds

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Marel

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Mare

Cyclone Jack, hallucinating Hack

Thinks Donna Reed, eats dollar bills

Gold foot machine, creates another fiend

So Beautiful, they make you kill!

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Mare

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Mare

Blood on her skin

Dripping with Sin

Do it again

Living Dead Mare

Blood on her skin

Dripping with Sin

Do it again

Living Dead MARE!

To say they were impressed would be an understatement. A cheer rings out from the two, the song appealing to their dark side. Nightshade is blushing and Jade has raised eyebrows. Shall I do another one? But what? HA! I walk over and prepare the next song. Gesturing for my DJ to hit the button I sing. I love singing so I have a two hundred or so long playlist of karaoke songs. A habit that annoyed the hell out of the non-nocturnal clan members. The metal blares and I air guitar and dance.

Another mission

The powers have called me away

Another time

To carry the colors again

My motivation

An oath I've sworn to defend

To win the honor

Of coming back home again

No explanation

Will matter after we begin

Another dark destroyer that's buried within

My true vocation

And now my unfortunate friend

You will discover

A war you're unable to win

I'll have you know

That I've become…

Indestructible

Determination that is incorruptible

From the other side

A terror to behold

Annihilation will be unavoidable

Every broken enemy will know

That their opponent had to be invincible

Take a last look around while you're alive

I'm an indestructible master of war

Luna chooses now of all time to show up. Her eyes go wide as the source of the music she was hearing is revealed. I feel a thrill tingle through me as her look matches that of Nightshade and Jade and show off a little, conjuring a guitar of shadows and playing it in time with the song.

Another reason

Another cause for me to fight

Another fuse uncovered

Now, for me to light

My dedication

To all that I've sworn to protect

I carry out my orders

With not a regret(a hot look shot at Luna)

A declaration

Embedded deep under my skin

A permanent reminder

Of how we began

No hesitation

When I am commanding the strike

You need to know

That you're in for the fight of your life

You will be shown

How I've become

Indestructible

Determination that is incorruptible

From the other side

A terror to behold

Annihilation will be unavoidable

Every broken enemy will know

That their opponent had to be invincible

Take a last look around while you're alive

I'm an indestructible master of war

More ponies are pouring into the theater now, some regret coming early and others are thinking it’s a treat. I don’t care I only have eyes for the three mares sitting together in the front in my director’s box. I send lightning sparking from the guitar as I rip through the riff on memory, despite not actually playing the music.

I'm

Indestructible

Determination that is incorruptible

From the other side

A terror to behold

Annihilation will be unavoidable

Every broken enemy will know

That their opponent had to be invincible

Take a last look around while you're alive

I am indestructible

Indestructible

Determination that is incorruptible

From the other side

A terror to behold

Annihilation will be unavoidable

Every broken enemy will know

That their opponent had to be invincible

Take a last look around while you're alive

I'm an indestructible master of war

Cheers ring out from the crowd as I raise my shadow guitar over my head and howl. “Alright, that was a band from back home called Disturbed, they are one of the greatest bands Ever! Without further ado, lets all get settled in and start the show.” I step off the stage letting the guitar dissipate and staring into the now cramped box. “So, lovely ladies, how did you like the music? The first one was for Nightshade of course, the second was my favorite battle anthem.”

“I loved it!” the three shout in unison then proceed to smack into each other in an attempt to kiss me. I break into laughter. They look at each other surprised and I notice how awkward this is and sober up a bit. “Right, Nightshade meet Jade, princess of the changelings and Luna, princess of Equestria. Jade and Luna meet Nightshade, elite necromancer and my date for this evening. Something tells me I need a bigger box. Or to TARDIS it.”

They look at each other amused. Nightshade gives me a pout. “You didn’t tell me you had a herd already.”

Luna and Jade give each other incredulous looks. I laugh again. “Still a single stallion looking for love in all the wrong places, Shade. Luna and I are friends and Jade is a… wow, never thought I’d ever say these words, we are friends with benefits.”

Nightshade nods and I notice a plotting look exchanged between the two while Luna looks annoyed. I give her an evil smile. “For now at least,” I whisper in her ear “I had an interesting dream last night, something about putting a collar on you and making you behave.”

She blushes and her alluring scent is rewarding as she looks at me in shock. “I… I had no idea you could dream walk. I’m losing my touch if I can’t tell when somepony enters my dream.”

I smirk. “Now this is interesting, I didn’t enter your dreams last night, remember I told you that dream walking makes me ill.”

She puts a hoof to her mouth and stares at me in embarrassment to the laughter of the other two. Nightshade is remarkably relaxed around royalty, her strength is impressive. Discord arrives and sees me standing outside the box. With a snort, he snaps his claws and makes it bigger on the inside. A plaque above the box has a Time Lord art style picture of the TARDIS in it. How does he even know about that? I shrug and slip in between Luna and Nightshade putting an arm around my date. Discord sits with Fluttershy on his lap in place of Jade who has to go rally the troops. Nightshade snuggles into me and I whisper in her ear. “If you keep being so adorable I’m gonna have to bite you. Or at least a nibble.” She gives a small laugh and snuggles closer intent on the play that is about to begin.

It’s relaxing and enjoyable. Watching the play and standing by with an open copy of the script prepared to give line prompts if needed, not that they will be. I sit between the two gorgeous mares with my arms around them pulling them close to me. When it’s time for my lines I leap upon the stage and shift into my wolf form as Discord puts the illusion on me. I’m onstage delivering the last of my lines when I see a flash of flame in the royal booth in front of Celestia. A shocked look shoots across her face and she yells out. “Wolf! Here now!” I shift and leap catching the edge of the balcony and clamoring over.

“Reporting for duty, m’lady, why do you look like someone ate your cat?”
