Chapter-16 Wrenches and horror [Un-Edited]
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs day court was coming to an end Night Shadow had token on a slouch defeated posture. Being forced to sit and listen to the problems of others was just as tiring for him as it was for Celestia but unlike her his presence did not benefit the resolution of the problem if anything the proses was slower due to the ponies fear of him. Celestia did appreciate that he managed to discourage the five nobles that came in today seeking justice for Blue Blood to not waste her time and had entertained the idea of forcing his presence at day court. But she quickly dispersed such thoughts when she realized that she hadn't helped even half as many ponies as she usually did during day court. As they were walking to meet up with Luna Celestia decided to start a conversation. For all his slouching Night hadn't said a word of complaint or otherwise.
"Night do you truly love my sister? I will be pleased if you do but if you don't I would ask that you make it clear to her before she is hurt as no one would save you from my wrath if that happens."-Celestia said in a burning tone. She might not get to converse with Night alone again and she wanted to make sure her sister wont be hurt.
"I cannot say. I am certain however that I wish to aid her in all her endeavours."-Night couldn't risk saying straight up he loved Luna he was a bad liar and he knew it. So he decided to speak as Luna and be as vague as possible while still conveying truth on some level.
"Well I suppose that is as much as I can ask for given the fact that you have known each other for only two days. Give her personal space if you do that and she still loves you I can allow this relationship but if you don't allow my sister to compose her feelings I will have you chained in a dark dungeon cell. Just keep that in mind while you are around her."-Celestia said in a threatening voice
Night was afraid his understanding of personal space was the area around him in which he could strike down an opponent using his body. If he were to consider Luna's magic as part of her Celestia was telling him to go beyond the moon and the sun. He was almost certain that Celestia didn't mean that given that she said she would allow their supposed relationship but he would have to ask Luna for clarification the next time they were alone. Until then Night resolved to keep Celestia between himself and Luna.
"I will remember it."-Night finally said hopping he was wrong in his assumptions.
After that the conversation sort of died until they past near a construction platform that was made to support a wall that had to be changed due to old age and Celestia had an idea.
"Night you claimed that you can wield anything as a weapon with enough skill to win while not permanently harming my ponies correct?"-Celestia received a nod and grinned as she looked trough platform until she found a monkey wrench." Then you shall prove it this wrench is heavy enough to cause permanent injury if it was slung and hit somepony and as you can see unlike the tennis racket it lacks range."-As Celestia did this she levitated the wrench.
Had she won would Night admit that such a task was impossible even for him. Night merely took the wrench and inspected it noting that one part could be forced to move using a locking mechanism but otherwise stayed firm. after about a minute of inspection he spoke.
"What it lacks in range it more then makes up in versatility. Knowing this do you still wish me to use it in my next fight?"-Night asked as he locked questioningly at Celestia.
"Yes I wish to see how such a brute tool can be used in a fight without harming the opponent. But should you fail and hurt my subjects know that my sister will not save you"
With this threat the conversation ended again. As they walked Celestia made a mental note that she had to find a way to speak with Night without threatening him if her sister truly loved him and this wasn't just her sister's guilt that she was seeing. They soon found themselves in front of a group of soldiers and Luna reading a book .
"Ah sister thee um we mean ahhh"-Luna said before she took a deep breath to calm herself." I mean you are finally here" Luna said expecting praise for managing with only one minor hiccup.
As Celestia watched her sister struggle she could barely manage to not trot to her and engulf her in a hug. The only ting stopping her was the fact that she knew Luna hated doing such tings in front of their subjects. So she decided to at the very least praise her to make her happy.
"You seem to be progressing in your studies a lot faster then poor Night dear sister."
"A rock will advance faster sister he couldn't remember any of the positions for the signs no matter how many times we told him. Also We am sorry for my attitude this morning. No wait I meant we are no I mean I am."-As Luna finished speaking she lowered herself and layer on the ground with her ears flattened on her head.
Celestia picked Luna up and placed her on her back as Luna struggled but didn't use magic before Celestia spoke.
"I know that you do not enjoy doing this in front of our subjects but please allow me this joy while you are still a foal in body sister. We are certain that thou shall learnest to speak in the modern tong as we did but it willst take time so do not be disheartened. As for Night we um I shall find him a tutor to help him better learn our writing."-As Celestia finished saying this Luna seemed to have cheered up but all the guards were staring with their jaws dropped.
"Well let us continue the test for my guard then."-Luna declared as the ponies made way for Night to take his place in the ring.
Once inside Night took out the monkey wrench that he had concealed in his sleeve and took a test swing. No pony entered the wring and not even the guards clashing of armour could be heard. It was 5 minutes before Celestia spoke.
"Are there non brave enough to face him within the guard?"-Celestia asked but nopony moved to enter the ring. She had expected this but not to such a degree those rumors must have gotten even more preposterous she thought.{Uh I hate to do this but my sister does need guards to protect her now more then ever with Night being as unsure of his feelings as he is}-Celestia thought before saying.
"Night there would be a change in number in the number of ponies you will face at once. You are to face all the guards present and either disarm them or restrain them. Naturally I expect you to do it using the weapon I chose do you think it is in your capabilities while following the rules?"
At this Night looked at the crowd gathered around him their faces were full of fear. Then he answered .
"If you provide a way to keep them from running away I will. Otherwise some will without a doubt escape as I defeat their allies."
"Then so be it"-Celestia said as she made spherical see trough bubble around Night and the panicking ponies.
