Legacy of Lundaya: Memory of an Empire

Celestia after lowering the sun was sitting at her mirror preparing for bed. She was humming a tone she picked up from being around Pinkie Pie when she saw her patio door open and she sensed a presence, but she didn't see anypony in her mirror. She began to hear hoof steps and see impressions in the carpet, but still no pony. The Princess of the sun was frozen, not in fear but disbelief.

"Sigil...."

"Your majesty."

She could hear him breathing, he was exhausted, she could feel his magical aura, he was weak, she could hear the tone of his voice, he was alive.

"Otchety skazal, chto vy byli mertvy ... "

"Ochevidno, oni byli ne pravy."

Celestia turned around and Sigil could see she was teary eyed.

"P-Princess I haven't been gone that long.....right?"

"Sigil you've been missing for 10 years...."

Sigil went quite for a few seconds

"Is that all?" He said with a mix of shock and sarcasm before hugging her tight.

Celestia hugged back like a sister would her brother. When she thought he was dead that was worse than banishing her sister for the simple fact that you can return from banishment so there was hope, but you can't return from death. She combed her hand through his mane and noticed how dry it was, and then taking a second look at his face realized how pale he was.

"You're blood starved!"

"Is it that obvious?" he said with a weak smile.

"You didn't get rid of my room did you?"

"No...I never could bring myself to give the order."

"Great and where's Sunset she owes me a drink." Sigil said with a wide grin

. "Sigil..."

"Oh....she's dead isn't she....?”

"What?! no no no no, but I had to banish her. But Twilight helped her to make friends." She said with more than a bit of pride in her voice.

"....A book series helped her to make friends? Well suppose that's what fandoms are for." Sigil said with a shrug making the sun goddess giggle.

"No, Twilight Sparkle my newest student. I'll bring you up to speed tomorrow, for now you need to recover. Also, be desecrate, I'll make the announcement of your return in the morning. For now we wouldn't want to cause a panic. Most ponies aren't used to seeing a blood starved vampire."

Sigil gave a nod before his horn lit up with a black aura and began to disappear into a black and dark purple shadowy hole that appeared in the ground. Celestia shivered as she felt the strong dark energy resonating off of it.

“Forgot he could do that....”

Sigil rose from the ground in a pitch black room. He look from left to right before snapping his fingers, upon doing so 10 candles ignited with dark blue flames that immediately turned orange dimly lighting the room. Sigil smiled at the large painting of his dark red omega cutie mark decorating the floor.

“Sigillum Ex Infernum.”

Sigil looked up when he heard a voice say his full name. A black Raven was perched on a book case on the 2nd floor of the room.

“Corvus!” Sigil said with a wide grin.

The bird flew down, landed on his shoulders and rubbed its head against him.

“Welcome home master!” Corves said happily.

“By the goddess you look absolutely horrendous!” A regal and feminine voice said from the shadows.

“ZZ. Our master has returns after a Decade of being missing and the first thing you do is insult the way he looks?” Corves said with a glare. From the shadow walked out a black cat with slightly glowing green eyes.

“I’m only voicing my concerns I mean look at him! He’s Blood starved!” She said jabbing a paw in Sigil’s direction.

“Yes.... well now that you mention it he does look rather.....pale.”

“Yes yes rather pale HE’S GRAY!” ZZ shouted.

“Nice to see y-“Sigil started before being cut off.

“Ahp no talking, Bath, now!”

“Wait the tub is still here?”

“Well of course, what would we do with a millennium old magic blood?”  Corvus said with a smile as they walked to a closed off room in the back of the room.

Sigil look inside, smiled and closed the door behind him.
