Purity and Corruptby Lighttone GryphonStarChaptersChapter 2: The Day of the ExecutionChapter 3: Celestia's SecretChapter 4: Battling CorruptChapter 5: As Love FallsChapter 1: As Court BeginsChapter 2: The Day of the ExecutionOn the Day of the Execution, Sir Rex Umbra waited in the Dungeon, reading Ancient Texts. He had been reading since he arrived near a year ago, days he would read, and on nights he would look at the moon and cry. Princess Celestia was worried, but not for Sir Rex Umbra, for Princess Luna, she had not left her room since the court day, not even for food. Princess Celestia though to herself, what was some way to her sister out of that room. It was then, that Princess Celestia heard claw steps heading toward Sir Rex Umbra old room. Princess Celestia look over the corner and saw Sir Redsting Blacklist, as he was tearing apart Sir Rex Umbra room. Princess Celestia tried her best to stay hidden, as she wondered, what was Sir Redsting looking for, then she remember how Sir Rex Umbra wanted Princess Luna to look for some box in his room after court. She of course never left her own room to do so. As Sir Redsting left the room, Princess Celestia use a Chameleon Spell, so she would not be notice by Sir Redsting, after he left she enter the room herself and look around, notice on the floor a broken picture of Sir Rex Umbra and Princess Luna, they look lovely together, “No! How could I think such a thing, after what he did to Luna?” Princess Celestia stated to herself, while undoing the Chameleon Spell. When two personnel guards walk in and stated, “Princess Celestia what is thou Highness doing here.” “I could as you two the same thing, now what are you doing here, you are my sister Personnel Guards, why are you not protecting my sister.” “We are, your Highness, we believe that a threat has been made against Princess Luna, your Highness” "What do you mean a threat?" "We mean this" the guard reply as he pull out two cups, "Your Highness these cups are laced with Drugs, we found in the hidden area, where Princess Luna and Sir Rex Umbra use to have their dates.” “What?” Celestia stated, as she scan the cup using magic. Indeed it was laced drugs, both cups were. But as Princess Celestia took a step back to try and figure out why somepony would want Luna and Rex drugged. Just then she notice the Dresser and on top of it was a box. As she levitated it over she notice that it cover in a similar Chameleon Spell that allowed only the caster and Alicorn to see it. As she open the little box, her eyes widen and she realized that Sir Rex Umbra would have never commit such a crime. Princess Celestia closed box, and ran quickly toward Princess Luna’s Room. Meanwhile the Bell rang, the Execution was about to begin, Celestia nodded to the Guards to go stall the Execution, while she head to Luna’s room. But as Princess Celestia open up the door, she saw Princess Luna hold a blade and aiming blade at herself, ready to end her life. As Celestia pull the blade away with her Magic, She yell, “What are you doing Luna?!!” Luna reply, “I want my life to end at the same time as his.” “Why would you do such a thing?” “Because I Love him, and even if me and him don’t remember what happen last year, I still Love him.” “Oh Luna, I see that now, and now I understand” Celestia stated, as she levitated the box toward Luna, as she told Luna everything that she had found out, Luna then open the little box and in it was a Blue Moon Diamond wedding ring. ****** As Sir Rex Umbra was pull though the Courtyard. The place with beautiful tall pillers, the guards took him around the Courtyard three times then place his head on the Pedestal. As the Executioner lifted his Ax, getting ready drop it. When Princess Celestia yelled out, “Stop the Execution.” The Audience were shock as Princess Luna stop the ax out of the Executioner's hoofs with her magic, as Judge Sir Grainwill got up and stated “What is going on here?” “I am tell you what going on here we have all been deceived, Luna and Rex were both drugged” “But who would do such a thing?” “Sir RedSting Blacklist is responsible for it, He always despised hybrids” Luna replied, as she broke Rex's chains, Sir Rex Umbra rose up and said “Luna, what you doing here, I deserve to die.” “No you need be alive, if you’re going to propose to me properly” “You found the Ring,” Rex reply. “Yes” “So your answer is-“ Before he finish she pull him in for very long passionate kiss. Then whispered in his ear “Yes I would love to be your wife.” Meanwhile the guards surrounded Sir Redsting, “Sir Redsting Blacklist you under arrest for Treason and Corrupting a Courtroom,” “No I am not” . As he pull out his blades and slicing the guards up before they could even react. After he got down to the Courtyard, walking over to them, he stated, "A wedding of a monstrous hybyss and his Bight, how lovely, you mind if I make a toast......... with their Blood." "You will go no further, Redsting.... you're real the monster around here" Princess Celestia stated while blocking his path. "Monster! the only monsters I see is the Hybrid over there by your sister........and the ex-Lover of your that is about to attack this city." "What did you say" Just then massive explosions start happening across the city, and the last one happening in the center of the Courtyard. Meanwhile a certain dark blue goat arrive at Canterlot. Chapter 3: Celestia's SecretAs they dodge the ruble of the Explosion, Princess Celestia got up and said, "What did you do?" "What did I do? Don't you mean, what did you do?" the evil Centipede stated back, Princess Luna look at Princess Celestia and stated, "Sister, what is he talking about?" "What am I talking about dear Luna is the Insidious Evil Creatures you two fell in love with, for instants, Princess Celestia and a Draconequus named Discord." Redsting stated with an evil grin. "Is this true sister," "Yes it is true," "I met him three years ago. He was a kind gentle soul that just wanted to throw parties for everypony he met.” ****** As Princess Celestia walk through the castle, its grand marble walls had seen many crowds, she could not help but notice how empty the castle was today though, “those two, Luna and Rex, seem to be dodging me lately, ever since the War ended and Sir Rex Umbra, was knighted,” Celestia stated as she look outside seeing the courtyard empty. Just then one of her personnel guard walk up to her and stated, “Princess Celestia there has been large amount of unusual pranks going on in the villages near the Evergreen forest.” “What kind of pranks?” “Well, Laughing Trees, Rolling Stones, Barking Ducks, Float Buildings, and Chocolate Rain.” “Chocolate Rain that sounds like fun, show me on the map where it is going on, and I will go check it out” As she look on the map, she noticed at the center of the incidents was Starswirl’s old cottage. “Could Starswirl be……. No it can’t be him, he died before the war,” she whispered to herself. Then she left the castle, the guard notice Sir Redsting Blacklist, the red Centipede had entered the hallway, “Where is Princess Celestia flying off to” Sir Redsting asked the guard. “She has gone to check a group of incidents that happen near the Evergreen Forest,” “And what about Princess Luna, is she sparring with Rex again” “No Sir Rex Umbra and Princess Luna haven’t been seen hardly at all since Sir Rex was knighted,” “Hmm, send a Message to King Emerald Teal the Duke, of the Crystal Empire, tell him to meet me in the usual place in five weeks’ time. When Princess Celestia arrived at the first village, she walked through the village she notice a yellow brick road that suddenly appear out of nowhere so she decided to follow it. As she went down the road she met some creatures that wanted to join on her journey down this yellow brick road, a talking scarecrow, a tin pony, and a lion, all of them want to see the wizard at the end of the road. Princess Celestia had some fun adventures, and then she realized the she was living through in the Wizard of Odd Pony story. She decided to play along hoping that she would find out who was pulling the string to this story. It was at the end of the road the she saw a floating cottage, it was Starswirl’s Cottage, she stated, “What is going on here? What are you doing to Starswirl’s Cottage?” “I demand you get out here now” “What, I thought you were enjoying my stories” “Not when it involves spinning the old home of somepony I once adored, now show yourself.” “Oh fine!” As the Cottage was sat down, a draconequus walked out. “Who are you” the Princess stated to him. “My name is Discord, and you are Princess Celestia, you’re as lovely as they described you were,” “Why that nice for you to say, but I still want to know what are you doing in this place” “What you don’t like my story.” “No it’s not that, I like story it is actually one my favorites, just want to what you were doing in Starswirl’s home” “Starswirl’s home, this is my home I been here for centuries” “What do you mean? Starswirl the Bearded lived here for centuries and trained many of Equestria’s best wizards and none of them ever mention a Draconequus living with him” “Because……… there wasn’t………….. there was just Starswirl” Discord stop talking before he could finish. Celestia wondered why he didn’t finish. “Discord I really did have fun playing through that the story, in fact it was so fun that I am going to come back next week for another story” “You will?!”, “Yes I will, be ready by next week,” Celestia stated as she flew away. Discord was so happy, that the most beautiful Alicorn he had ever seen, wanted to spend time with him. Every week she come to visit him, and either live through her favorite stories, play games, or pull pranks on each other. It was fun, although her true intent at the time was to find out who he really was. But as time went on she began not to care who he really was. And slowly she was falling in love with him, but was too scared to tell him. Five weeks past, and King Emerald Teal, the brother of the now died King Helios Quarts, arrive at the Pure Raza’s Tavern, the place was an old bar that had been refurbished into a secret meeting place for the most racist of Purity believers. Once there King Emerald Teal he sat down and had an ice cold cider, just then Sir Redsting Blacklist, walked in, as all the ponies that he walk past, the stallions saluting him, and the mares bowed to him like he was a god to them all. Although out in public the Purity believer were seen as a simple religious movement, but in private they were more like a Cult, King Emerald Teal as their general, and Sir Redsting Blacklist as their true king. He sat down across from King Emerald Teal. In public, King Emerald Teal seen as a good, strong king, but in private he was a fearful king, who fearing for his own life, and a prophecy that stated he would one day be killed by a Hybrid. An hour past, they begin to discuss what had happening in Canterlot and the Crystal Empire. “How are things going in the Crystal Empire?” “Perfectly, the Purity believes has spread like wildfire, in fact my oldest son Blood Diamond has been reportedly beating hybrids to near death, and of course the reports always go unconfirmed publicly,” “The only one I am worried about is my youngest son Golden William, the Idealist, who thinks love should shine the right path. He has even token a pink pegasus as his wife, they now live together near Griffinstone.” “How pitifully someponies can be, that why I have call you here for, you see it seem that Princess Luna and Princess Celestia have fallen in love with two impure creatures.” “Are you sure,” “Yes, Originally I called for you because I was worried about Luna falling for Rex, but as time went on I noticed that Celestia has been leaving the castle a lot more laterly, and my informants tell me it is to see a draconequus named Discord.” “It seem my nieces have fallen quite far from the tree,” “Indeed, we need to take drastic measures to ensure that Canterlot does not fall into impure evil hoofs,” “But not right away, we shall wait for the proper time to strike. In two years we make are move, and take over Canterlot.” ****** Chapter 4: Battling Corrupt “But why is he here, we ended our relationship on good terms just a day after the day at court." “And what did you say him, Princess Celestia,” “I……. I……… don’t remember”, Princess Celestia stated all confused Just then an insidious evil laugh filled the destroyed courtyard, as Redsting then stated, “That’s a side effect of the drug” “What did you say?” “You heard me Princess Celestia,” “What, did you really think that Luna and Rex were the only ones I drugged, oh poor, poor Celestia you should of really check your tea before you drank it that morning” “You see the drug has a nasty side effect, that make a pony forget almost everything while under the influence, the only the victim does remember is that they clearly did something but they don’t what or why,” “It also make the victim highly suggestible to almost anything from having Rex and Luna be together in the most perverted of ways, or have you Celestia saying the most hateful of things to Discord” “NO!!” Princess Celestia stated as she flew off to go stop Discord, Meanwhile, Luna and Rex stood there while Redsting walk toward them, when all of sudden Redsting was block again, this time by Sir Grainwill, “Princess Luna, as the judge who presided over Sir Rex Umbra’s court, I end all charges, and end the “no truth rights act” over him, so you can the good news that happen three months ago,” “Really, I can tell Rex everything,” “Yes, you can, now go you two take cover, I will handle Sir Redsting,” “You really think you will be able to stop ME!” “Well I may have not in a battle in a while, but YES!!” the old minotaur stated as he charged at Redsting with his sword drawn, meanwhile Luna pull Rex aside, “What was he talking about, what is the “no truth right act” what does it mean,” “It is an act that was pass a long time, you see it is use on a criminal that is accused, of the same type of crime you were framed of,” “Okay, but does it do” “It insures the safety of victim by not revealing to the criminal, if something was created from the act,” “What are you tell me,” “I am tell you even though we don’t remembered what we did that night, still does not change the fact it clearly happen because……….. Three months ago………. You became a Father” His eyes widen at the wonderful news as he stood with no answer. “Rex answer me, are you not happy about—" Before she could finish he pull her in for another passionate kiss, and then he stated “this is wonderful news, I get to have a wife and be a father" “Where is the foal, is it somewhere safe” “They are with my cousin Golden William, in a town near Griffinstone” “They?” "There is two of them, there was three but third foal didn’t survive the birth” “But there is something else you need tell you, Rex the foal are----“ A large dropping sound interrupted her, as they turned to see Sir Grainwill laying on ground dead, his gut had been tore wide open, and his intrels had been spread across the courtyard by Redsting’s blades. As he walked towards, with his four arms ready, each of them holding a blade, he stated, “well he was tasty,” as he chopped down on a chunk of meat from the minotaur’s torso, “Oh, that right ponies don’t eat raw flesh, well, I do, you see I prefer it over apples, and I bet you didn’t know that about me,” “Now I see that the only real monster here is you” Rex stated as he pick up a blade with his magic, “I see now, four years ago when I was in hospital after take a blade in gut for Luna, during the war with Tirek, the King’s body had just been brought in, I saw the wounds they were bite marks, originally I thought they were from Terik, but now I see that they were from YOU!!!” “You are a lot smarter then I give credit. But now that there is nopony to hear me, except for you two, then YES I DID, he was very delicious.” Luna replied as she pick a blade with magic, “My Father the King took you in nearly a millennium ago, during the CalaVoss Wars, and that is how you repay him,” “Yes those wars was quite funny to twist, as are many wars that secretly I started, is to spread hatred, after all Terik himself was a Hybrid, of Minotaur and Centaur." “All this for Purity believes,” “Actually NO, I really don’t care that much for racism, it is just the best way to Corrupt any believe, but now that I have told all this look like I am going to have to eat you BOTH!!!!” Redsting stated as he charged at them. Luna and Rex ready their blades for a fight. Meanwhile the Dark Blue Goat watches from the Shadows. Chapter 5: As Love FallsIt began to rain as Battle began in skies over ruble of the Canterlot’s outer city, Celestia tried her best to dodge attacks while trying to figure out what she say to him, while she was under the drug’s influence near a year ago. “Discord, you have to believe me, whatever I said that day was not my words, somepony else was controlling me that day,” “NO, more lies, that all you are Celestia is a liar, you call me a freak of nature, an Abomination against life,” “Discord, I would never say such things, you have believe me” “No just more lies!”, Discord stated hatefully. “You have been lying to me since the first day you saw me,” With a twist in her heart, as Princess Celestia spoke her mind, and said, “But, Discord you did not know, but the truth is I……….…….. I………….. I…….. I Lo—“ “YOU HATE ME, YOU DESPISE ME!!!!” “I even told myself once that the only reason you ever came to see me on those weekends was to find out more about Starswirl the Bearded, and at first I didn’t care about what you were really after, as long as I got to spend time with the most lovely, beautiful, and gorgeous pony in the whole world, and that’s why I never told you the truth, because I thought you run away and never want to see me ever again,” “But it don’t matter now anymore……… You once ask me why I had been living in Starswirl’s cottage, the reason I stated I had live there for centuries is…………. Because……….. I.......……. I……………… I am Starswirl the Bearded!!” Celestia stood there in shock of what she had just heard, was it true, was he truly Starswirl the Bearded, and if so why did she not figure it out sooner. Celestia just stood there hovering, as Discord flew away from her to destroy more buildings. The words replaying in her head over and over again. Until tears ran down her face. The Ancient Wizard she adored, and Draconequus she loved, were one in same, it was the happiest and saddest things she had ever heard. Meanwhile, Luna and Rex trying their best dodge attacks from Redsting, it turned out that it would harder than they thought, “Are you okay Luna,” “I am fine Rex, he just tougher then I remember,” “Yes indeed I am Luna,” “How can this be we are the best warriors in the Kingdom,” “Yes Rex you two are the best, the training you received from Luna proves that.” “But did she ever tell who train her,” “I was told that Luna was trained by King Morpheus, King of Dreams,” “Yes in magic, and dream walking, but in not swordsmanship, that was me.” “So even if you two are the best I know both your moves inside and out” They knew now that they were out matched when came to swords, but swords were not the only reason that they considered to be best warriors in the kingdom, they also had magic, so Luna flew in to the sky spinning though the rain storm, while Rex use his Crystal Magic to Impale Redsting tail with a tall crystal gem, “What are you doing?” “Turn you into a Lightning Rod,” “What?!!!!” “Luna NOW!!!!” Just then Luna pull down a massive Lightning Bolt, as Sir Redsting head on. The explosion was massive launching Luna and Rex to the wall thirty feet landing just ten feet from each other, but the resulting blast also cause ruble to fall on Rex’s hind legs “Ahh!!!!” Rex yelled out. “Are you okay Rex,” Luna cried out, “No I think my hind legs are broken, what about you,” “Of Course, you are worried about me, I am………. fine, I am stuck under a pillar” “What about Redsting, do you think he survived,” “It doesn’t look like he did” “OH, REALLY” Luna and Rex were shock to hear that voice, “How did he survive, I hit him head on with the biggest lightning bolt I have ever created,” “If it’s any consolation you did over cook half me.” Redsting stated as walk out of the smoke revealing that half his body had been burnt black. “But I guess it is more fitting to my name “Sir Redsting Blacklist” that half my body be RED, and half my body be BLACK I suppose it is ironic,” ****** Redsting walked towards them, “You know I have been telling you all of Luna’s secrets, so how about I tell Luna your secrets,” “I have keep no from secrets her,” “Oh really!!” “Then I will just tell her what my Informants found out about the destoyed orphanage where Starswirl found you as a foal.” “Rex what is he talking about,” “Oh so you haven’t told her yet, well then let me just tell Luna for you,” “No don’t—” “Silence Rex, if you two are going to be wed, then there should be no more secret between you two.” “Luna should know that I am not the only monster who like to tear apart ponies, like you did to those cruel bullies at the orphanage,” “No that wasn’t me that was the Shadows that kill them, that wasn’t me that was the Shadows!!” “Then how come that day was also the day you received your Obsidian Cutie Mark” “Rex I thought you received your Cutie Mark because you could form gem pillars with your magic” “I…………. I…………..” “No Luna his talent is not making Gem Pillar, it is Mass Murder.” “That was years ago, I am a better pony now, the Shadows are gone, I got rid of them before I even met Luna” “Are you sure, they are gone, because I bet if you were force to watch me MURDER your beloved Luna, then the Shadows would certainly stop me right.” Redsting then charged at Luna with his four blade ready to cut her to ripens, and Luna close her eyes she knew she going to die neither Rex nor her could move “NO, Luna, if only I could move my legs, DAMN IT, I don’t care what it will cost me, just somepony give me the Strength to save Luna,” “So be it,” a mysterious voice stated from the Shadows, as bells begin to ring from the Shadows. Seconds later, Luna felt blood hitting her face, as her eyes open, her eyes widen with Horror, as Rex had stepped in the way of the blades. All four blades were impaled into him, “REX!!!!” she yelled. Rex began to fall, when the Shadows caught him, hold him up, he then look at Luna, tears going down her face. He then lift the Pillar off of her with the help of the Shadows, “Luna my love I will love you now and always,” “Luna when the foals grow up tell them about me and how good of a husband I would have been, and how good a father I would been,” “What are saying, Rex” “I am saying this is GOODBYE!!” Rex stated as he lifted her to a safe distance with his magic, then he turn towards Redsting as the Shadows pull out the blades from his back while halting the blood. “So you Redsting want to see what to protect the one I love more than the whole world, and what I would be willing to give into for her,” “Yes I want to see it the talent of a mass murder,” “No I won’t Murder you, I WILL END YOU!!!!” Just then he began chant a dark Spell, as blackish beams of light began to shoot from Rex’s wounds and unite into a Blackish Rainbow, the wrap around Redsting Backlist turning him to Stone. As Rex finally fell, Luna pick herself up and flew down towards him, catching him in her hoofs. Rex look at her as he warped his hoofs around and said, “Luna is he gone,” “Yes he is gone, but what about you Rex, your bleeding all over the place,” “The Shadows could not stop the bleeding forever, so I am dying,” “I need you, the foals need you,” “No they need just you, my Love.” “No Rex, don’t go, don’t go,” Luna as she pull him for one last passionate kiss. The most painful sound echo though out the destroy courtyard, Rex’s hoof had landed in pool of Blood that surrounded them, as Luna pulled back to see her Beloved dead. A moment pasted, then she finally let out a loud Scream, “REX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” As Luna screamed her coat began to turn Black, her eye change to slits as her mane began to flow like a river though the air warping around them both, as the Nightmare force that had been hidden inside her since her training under King Morpheus King of Dreams when she was foal, finally came forth surrounding them in a Massive tornado of nightmares fill the entire courtyard, and destroying all that was left standing including the Statue of Sir Redsting Blacklist, which got torn to pieces in the tornado ****** Celestia could hear the scream from miles as she turned away leave Discord to do as he wished, while she flew back to the courtyard. Princess Celestia tried her best to fly though the tornado, getting cut up along the way, as she made her way to the center of the tornado, and as she landed she saw the sad site, Luna was holding Rex’s dead body, and crying. Celestia walked to her noticing a piece of one Redsting many legs, she use her magic she place in her bag, then she wrapped her wing around and said, “It’s okay to let him go, I know he is gone but his love will always be with you, little sister,” then Celestia back away as Luna began to revert back to normal and look up as the tornado began to clear. Just then, she noticed that all of Canterlot began to fall off the Mountain side, she grab her sister with her magic, pulling her away from Rex’s body as one Canterlot’s many tower fell right on to Rex’s body buring him ruble. Then Celestia while carry the crying Luna on her back flew out of the Castle fell down to mountain floor. She then flew herself and her sister to the one place they could seek refuge, even though Luna despised the place, they flew to the Crystal Empire. ****** In the ruble he walked the Mysterious dark blue Goat, till he finally found what he was looking for, once he arrived he rang the bells on his necklace and then out of the Shadows walked several of his loyal zombie zebra servants, as they lift up the ruble revealing the body. The dark blue Goat spoke, “Your no good to me dead,” as he stomped his hoof on the ground, he chanted the most evilest of spells. Then blood started to flow again. The pony woke up and said, “Who are you?” “Who am I? I am Grogar." TO BE CONTINUED? Chapter 1: As Court BeginsAs Court got prepared, the nine jurors quietly sauntered into the room to sit down. These jurors were proud, rich nobles whose power and authority radiated off of them with their upturned heads and chests puffed out in pride. Coming after them was the Judge. He was a green seven foot tall minotaur named Sir Grainwill. As he sat down, he stated, "Bring in The Accused." As the guards brought in The Accused, the Judge and nine jurors sit down. The Accused was a light gray crystal unicorn with a dark gray mane and a black obsidian cutie mark. Coming in afterwards were Princess Celestia, her eyes filled with fury, and Princess Luna behind her with tears running down her face. She had been crying a lot these last few hours. Then the accuser appeared, a six foot tall, twenty foot long, four armed, one hundred legged, red Centipede named Sir Redsting Blacklist. He was the Royal Adviser to the princesses. Originally, he worked for their father, but after King Helios Quarts died at hands of the now Imprisoned Tirek, Redsting started working for princesses. Judge Sir Grainwill looked around his Courtroom. It was a grand marble covered room that had seen many cases both good and bad. He had hoped that today would be a good court day, but as he looked, all he could see was corrupt creatures who wanted to burn the Accused right on the spot. They did not care whether the Accused was guilty or not, all because the Accused was a hybrid between crystal pony and unicorn. The Purity believer had spread the idea that species immingling was forbidden, and a hybrid was considered to be evil. As the judge looked around, the only ones without racist hatred on their faces were the Princesses and their personal guards. But their faces were not happy either. Princess Celestia face was still radiating anger at the Accused, and Princess Luna was still crying, understandably. Luna was so very close the Accused. He was the first student she had ever taken in, and it would probably be her last for a long time. Then the judge looked at the Accused, the light gray pony name was Sir Rex Umbra, and on the face of Sir Rex Umbra was nothing but shame. Everypony had remembered the day when Sir Rex Umbra had arrived in Canterlot. It was before Rex had been Knighted. Rex had arrived to tell the Princesses of the death of his mentor, Starswirl the Bearded. After the funeral, Rex ask if one of the Princesses help him finish his training in the Arcane Arts and Swordsmanship. Princess Celestia denied the offer, due to being in too much pain from the loss of Starswirl, whom she loved and adored. Princess Luna, however, took up the offer. The training under Princess Luna was extremely hard for Rex. She would push his training every time she got a chance, and Rex enjoyed every minute of it. Three years he trained under Princess Luna, and he had gotten very good at the Arcane Arts and Swordsmanship. The two would often have sparring match in the Courtyard that everypony in Canterlot enjoyed to watch. Well, everypony except for Princess Celestia, who was always worried about the sparring match between Rex and Luna, mostly because they would almost always use real blade. But all their matches would always last for hours before either of them could get close a win, and in the end, there would never be a drop of blood drawn. They were both consider to be the best warriors in the entire kingdom. It was in the war with Tirek that the relationship between Luna and Rex became more than mentor and student. They had become very close, especially after he saved her by taking a blade in gut that was meant for her. After the war, Rex was Knighted for his valor. That day Luna and Rex both realized that they had slowly fallen love. But due to the Purity movement, they decided to keep this between them, and would meet in secret for dinner and dancing, in a hidden place in the Garden Maze. The only ones knew of the hidden place aside from Luna and Rex were Luna’s two personal guards. Rex and Luna were together for two years before this had happened. ****** As Court began, Judge Sir Grainwill asked, "What crime is Sir Rex Umbra accuses of committing," Sir Redsting stood up. "Sir Rex Umbra has committed the crime of Adultery." He stated. "I was unaware that mating outside marriage was a crime," "It is, when one of them has no consent, and especially when the victim was none other than Princess Luna." Rex quickly rose up. "Your Honor, you have to believe me I would never do such an evil act," He denied. "Then where were you on the night of question?" Sir Redsting questioned. "I don’t remember!" Rex yelled. "You don’t remember, or maybe you don’t want remember!" Redsting argued. "I said I don’t remember!" "Or you don’t care remember!" "I said I don’t remember!" "Order! Order! Order in the Courtroom!" Sir Grainwill yelled, slamming his gavel. "Fine then, so you are giving same excuse that Princess Luna gave to her sister, that both of you just woke up in bed together with no memory of the night before… who do you think the Court is going to believe? One of the rulers of our kingdom, or a pathetic Hybyss!" "Order! Order!” Sir Grainwill yelled once again. “That is enough Sir Redsting, I will not let you speak such Racist Slang in my courtroom, now call your first witness.” Hours passed as each corrupt witness played their part flawlessly, the case was slowly pushing Rex and Luna further and further apart, Rex denying everything that the witnesses accused him of doing. Ten hours past and then Sir Redsting call on his final witness… "I call upon Princess Celestia." Princess Celestia stood up and gave her statement. "I saw... Luna running out of Rex’s room crying..." ****** It only took only ten minutes for the jurors to find Rex guilty. It saw then that Judge Sir Grainwill agitatedly stated, "The Court has found you Sir Rex Umbra guilty. In one year you will be executed in the Courtyard. If you have anypony to contact, you have to the end to do so… case… closed." It was clear to everypony that the Judge was angered that Sir RedSting Blacklist go so far as to fill the Judge's Courtroom with such Corruption, just to win a case. Little did anypony know that Sir RedSting had done more than corrupt the Courtroom. As they slowly took Rex away, Rex yelled out, "Luna you have to believe I would never do such a thing, Luna! If you don’t believe then look on top of my dresser, the proof is in that box, please you have believe me, Luna!!!!" The guards took him away, and placed him in the Dungeon, Meanwhile in a place outside Equestria, a mysterious dark blue Goat made his way to Canterlot.
Chapter 2: The Day of the ExecutionOn the Day of the Execution, Sir Rex Umbra waited in the Dungeon, reading Ancient Texts. He had been reading since he arrived near a year ago, days he would read, and on nights he would look at the moon and cry. Princess Celestia was worried, but not for Sir Rex Umbra, for Princess Luna, she had not left her room since the court day, not even for food. Princess Celestia though to herself, what was some way to her sister out of that room. It was then, that Princess Celestia heard claw steps heading toward Sir Rex Umbra old room. Princess Celestia look over the corner and saw Sir Redsting Blacklist, as he was tearing apart Sir Rex Umbra room. Princess Celestia tried her best to stay hidden, as she wondered, what was Sir Redsting looking for, then she remember how Sir Rex Umbra wanted Princess Luna to look for some box in his room after court. She of course never left her own room to do so. As Sir Redsting left the room, Princess Celestia use a Chameleon Spell, so she would not be notice by Sir Redsting, after he left she enter the room herself and look around, notice on the floor a broken picture of Sir Rex Umbra and Princess Luna, they look lovely together, “No! How could I think such a thing, after what he did to Luna?” Princess Celestia stated to herself, while undoing the Chameleon Spell. When two personnel guards walk in and stated, “Princess Celestia what is thou Highness doing here.” “I could as you two the same thing, now what are you doing here, you are my sister Personnel Guards, why are you not protecting my sister.” “We are, your Highness, we believe that a threat has been made against Princess Luna, your Highness” "What do you mean a threat?" "We mean this" the guard reply as he pull out two cups, "Your Highness these cups are laced with Drugs, we found in the hidden area, where Princess Luna and Sir Rex Umbra use to have their dates.” “What?” Celestia stated, as she scan the cup using magic. Indeed it was laced drugs, both cups were. But as Princess Celestia took a step back to try and figure out why somepony would want Luna and Rex drugged. Just then she notice the Dresser and on top of it was a box. As she levitated it over she notice that it cover in a similar Chameleon Spell that allowed only the caster and Alicorn to see it. As she open the little box, her eyes widen and she realized that Sir Rex Umbra would have never commit such a crime. Princess Celestia closed box, and ran quickly toward Princess Luna’s Room. Meanwhile the Bell rang, the Execution was about to begin, Celestia nodded to the Guards to go stall the Execution, while she head to Luna’s room. But as Princess Celestia open up the door, she saw Princess Luna hold a blade and aiming blade at herself, ready to end her life. As Celestia pull the blade away with her Magic, She yell, “What are you doing Luna?!!” Luna reply, “I want my life to end at the same time as his.” “Why would you do such a thing?” “Because I Love him, and even if me and him don’t remember what happen last year, I still Love him.” “Oh Luna, I see that now, and now I understand” Celestia stated, as she levitated the box toward Luna, as she told Luna everything that she had found out, Luna then open the little box and in it was a Blue Moon Diamond wedding ring. ****** As Sir Rex Umbra was pull though the Courtyard. The place with beautiful tall pillers, the guards took him around the Courtyard three times then place his head on the Pedestal. As the Executioner lifted his Ax, getting ready drop it. When Princess Celestia yelled out, “Stop the Execution.” The Audience were shock as Princess Luna stop the ax out of the Executioner's hoofs with her magic, as Judge Sir Grainwill got up and stated “What is going on here?” “I am tell you what going on here we have all been deceived, Luna and Rex were both drugged” “But who would do such a thing?” “Sir RedSting Blacklist is responsible for it, He always despised hybrids” Luna replied, as she broke Rex's chains, Sir Rex Umbra rose up and said “Luna, what you doing here, I deserve to die.” “No you need be alive, if you’re going to propose to me properly” “You found the Ring,” Rex reply. “Yes” “So your answer is-“ Before he finish she pull him in for very long passionate kiss. Then whispered in his ear “Yes I would love to be your wife.” Meanwhile the guards surrounded Sir Redsting, “Sir Redsting Blacklist you under arrest for Treason and Corrupting a Courtroom,” “No I am not” . As he pull out his blades and slicing the guards up before they could even react. After he got down to the Courtyard, walking over to them, he stated, "A wedding of a monstrous hybyss and his Bight, how lovely, you mind if I make a toast......... with their Blood." "You will go no further, Redsting.... you're real the monster around here" Princess Celestia stated while blocking his path. "Monster! the only monsters I see is the Hybrid over there by your sister........and the ex-Lover of your that is about to attack this city." "What did you say" Just then massive explosions start happening across the city, and the last one happening in the center of the Courtyard. Meanwhile a certain dark blue goat arrive at Canterlot.
Chapter 3: Celestia's SecretAs they dodge the ruble of the Explosion, Princess Celestia got up and said, "What did you do?" "What did I do? Don't you mean, what did you do?" the evil Centipede stated back, Princess Luna look at Princess Celestia and stated, "Sister, what is he talking about?" "What am I talking about dear Luna is the Insidious Evil Creatures you two fell in love with, for instants, Princess Celestia and a Draconequus named Discord." Redsting stated with an evil grin. "Is this true sister," "Yes it is true," "I met him three years ago. He was a kind gentle soul that just wanted to throw parties for everypony he met.” ****** As Princess Celestia walk through the castle, its grand marble walls had seen many crowds, she could not help but notice how empty the castle was today though, “those two, Luna and Rex, seem to be dodging me lately, ever since the War ended and Sir Rex Umbra, was knighted,” Celestia stated as she look outside seeing the courtyard empty. Just then one of her personnel guard walk up to her and stated, “Princess Celestia there has been large amount of unusual pranks going on in the villages near the Evergreen forest.” “What kind of pranks?” “Well, Laughing Trees, Rolling Stones, Barking Ducks, Float Buildings, and Chocolate Rain.” “Chocolate Rain that sounds like fun, show me on the map where it is going on, and I will go check it out” As she look on the map, she noticed at the center of the incidents was Starswirl’s old cottage. “Could Starswirl be……. No it can’t be him, he died before the war,” she whispered to herself. Then she left the castle, the guard notice Sir Redsting Blacklist, the red Centipede had entered the hallway, “Where is Princess Celestia flying off to” Sir Redsting asked the guard. “She has gone to check a group of incidents that happen near the Evergreen Forest,” “And what about Princess Luna, is she sparring with Rex again” “No Sir Rex Umbra and Princess Luna haven’t been seen hardly at all since Sir Rex was knighted,” “Hmm, send a Message to King Emerald Teal the Duke, of the Crystal Empire, tell him to meet me in the usual place in five weeks’ time. When Princess Celestia arrived at the first village, she walked through the village she notice a yellow brick road that suddenly appear out of nowhere so she decided to follow it. As she went down the road she met some creatures that wanted to join on her journey down this yellow brick road, a talking scarecrow, a tin pony, and a lion, all of them want to see the wizard at the end of the road. Princess Celestia had some fun adventures, and then she realized the she was living through in the Wizard of Odd Pony story. She decided to play along hoping that she would find out who was pulling the string to this story. It was at the end of the road the she saw a floating cottage, it was Starswirl’s Cottage, she stated, “What is going on here? What are you doing to Starswirl’s Cottage?” “I demand you get out here now” “What, I thought you were enjoying my stories” “Not when it involves spinning the old home of somepony I once adored, now show yourself.” “Oh fine!” As the Cottage was sat down, a draconequus walked out. “Who are you” the Princess stated to him. “My name is Discord, and you are Princess Celestia, you’re as lovely as they described you were,” “Why that nice for you to say, but I still want to know what are you doing in this place” “What you don’t like my story.” “No it’s not that, I like story it is actually one my favorites, just want to what you were doing in Starswirl’s home” “Starswirl’s home, this is my home I been here for centuries” “What do you mean? Starswirl the Bearded lived here for centuries and trained many of Equestria’s best wizards and none of them ever mention a Draconequus living with him” “Because……… there wasn’t………….. there was just Starswirl” Discord stop talking before he could finish. Celestia wondered why he didn’t finish. “Discord I really did have fun playing through that the story, in fact it was so fun that I am going to come back next week for another story” “You will?!”, “Yes I will, be ready by next week,” Celestia stated as she flew away. Discord was so happy, that the most beautiful Alicorn he had ever seen, wanted to spend time with him. Every week she come to visit him, and either live through her favorite stories, play games, or pull pranks on each other. It was fun, although her true intent at the time was to find out who he really was. But as time went on she began not to care who he really was. And slowly she was falling in love with him, but was too scared to tell him. Five weeks past, and King Emerald Teal, the brother of the now died King Helios Quarts, arrive at the Pure Raza’s Tavern, the place was an old bar that had been refurbished into a secret meeting place for the most racist of Purity believers. Once there King Emerald Teal he sat down and had an ice cold cider, just then Sir Redsting Blacklist, walked in, as all the ponies that he walk past, the stallions saluting him, and the mares bowed to him like he was a god to them all. Although out in public the Purity believer were seen as a simple religious movement, but in private they were more like a Cult, King Emerald Teal as their general, and Sir Redsting Blacklist as their true king. He sat down across from King Emerald Teal. In public, King Emerald Teal seen as a good, strong king, but in private he was a fearful king, who fearing for his own life, and a prophecy that stated he would one day be killed by a Hybrid. An hour past, they begin to discuss what had happening in Canterlot and the Crystal Empire. “How are things going in the Crystal Empire?” “Perfectly, the Purity believes has spread like wildfire, in fact my oldest son Blood Diamond has been reportedly beating hybrids to near death, and of course the reports always go unconfirmed publicly,” “The only one I am worried about is my youngest son Golden William, the Idealist, who thinks love should shine the right path. He has even token a pink pegasus as his wife, they now live together near Griffinstone.” “How pitifully someponies can be, that why I have call you here for, you see it seem that Princess Luna and Princess Celestia have fallen in love with two impure creatures.” “Are you sure,” “Yes, Originally I called for you because I was worried about Luna falling for Rex, but as time went on I noticed that Celestia has been leaving the castle a lot more laterly, and my informants tell me it is to see a draconequus named Discord.” “It seem my nieces have fallen quite far from the tree,” “Indeed, we need to take drastic measures to ensure that Canterlot does not fall into impure evil hoofs,” “But not right away, we shall wait for the proper time to strike. In two years we make are move, and take over Canterlot.” ******
Chapter 4: Battling Corrupt “But why is he here, we ended our relationship on good terms just a day after the day at court." “And what did you say him, Princess Celestia,” “I……. I……… don’t remember”, Princess Celestia stated all confused Just then an insidious evil laugh filled the destroyed courtyard, as Redsting then stated, “That’s a side effect of the drug” “What did you say?” “You heard me Princess Celestia,” “What, did you really think that Luna and Rex were the only ones I drugged, oh poor, poor Celestia you should of really check your tea before you drank it that morning” “You see the drug has a nasty side effect, that make a pony forget almost everything while under the influence, the only the victim does remember is that they clearly did something but they don’t what or why,” “It also make the victim highly suggestible to almost anything from having Rex and Luna be together in the most perverted of ways, or have you Celestia saying the most hateful of things to Discord” “NO!!” Princess Celestia stated as she flew off to go stop Discord, Meanwhile, Luna and Rex stood there while Redsting walk toward them, when all of sudden Redsting was block again, this time by Sir Grainwill, “Princess Luna, as the judge who presided over Sir Rex Umbra’s court, I end all charges, and end the “no truth rights act” over him, so you can the good news that happen three months ago,” “Really, I can tell Rex everything,” “Yes, you can, now go you two take cover, I will handle Sir Redsting,” “You really think you will be able to stop ME!” “Well I may have not in a battle in a while, but YES!!” the old minotaur stated as he charged at Redsting with his sword drawn, meanwhile Luna pull Rex aside, “What was he talking about, what is the “no truth right act” what does it mean,” “It is an act that was pass a long time, you see it is use on a criminal that is accused, of the same type of crime you were framed of,” “Okay, but does it do” “It insures the safety of victim by not revealing to the criminal, if something was created from the act,” “What are you tell me,” “I am tell you even though we don’t remembered what we did that night, still does not change the fact it clearly happen because……….. Three months ago………. You became a Father” His eyes widen at the wonderful news as he stood with no answer. “Rex answer me, are you not happy about—" Before she could finish he pull her in for another passionate kiss, and then he stated “this is wonderful news, I get to have a wife and be a father" “Where is the foal, is it somewhere safe” “They are with my cousin Golden William, in a town near Griffinstone” “They?” "There is two of them, there was three but third foal didn’t survive the birth” “But there is something else you need tell you, Rex the foal are----“ A large dropping sound interrupted her, as they turned to see Sir Grainwill laying on ground dead, his gut had been tore wide open, and his intrels had been spread across the courtyard by Redsting’s blades. As he walked towards, with his four arms ready, each of them holding a blade, he stated, “well he was tasty,” as he chopped down on a chunk of meat from the minotaur’s torso, “Oh, that right ponies don’t eat raw flesh, well, I do, you see I prefer it over apples, and I bet you didn’t know that about me,” “Now I see that the only real monster here is you” Rex stated as he pick up a blade with his magic, “I see now, four years ago when I was in hospital after take a blade in gut for Luna, during the war with Tirek, the King’s body had just been brought in, I saw the wounds they were bite marks, originally I thought they were from Terik, but now I see that they were from YOU!!!” “You are a lot smarter then I give credit. But now that there is nopony to hear me, except for you two, then YES I DID, he was very delicious.” Luna replied as she pick a blade with magic, “My Father the King took you in nearly a millennium ago, during the CalaVoss Wars, and that is how you repay him,” “Yes those wars was quite funny to twist, as are many wars that secretly I started, is to spread hatred, after all Terik himself was a Hybrid, of Minotaur and Centaur." “All this for Purity believes,” “Actually NO, I really don’t care that much for racism, it is just the best way to Corrupt any believe, but now that I have told all this look like I am going to have to eat you BOTH!!!!” Redsting stated as he charged at them. Luna and Rex ready their blades for a fight. Meanwhile the Dark Blue Goat watches from the Shadows.
Chapter 5: As Love FallsIt began to rain as Battle began in skies over ruble of the Canterlot’s outer city, Celestia tried her best to dodge attacks while trying to figure out what she say to him, while she was under the drug’s influence near a year ago. “Discord, you have to believe me, whatever I said that day was not my words, somepony else was controlling me that day,” “NO, more lies, that all you are Celestia is a liar, you call me a freak of nature, an Abomination against life,” “Discord, I would never say such things, you have believe me” “No just more lies!”, Discord stated hatefully. “You have been lying to me since the first day you saw me,” With a twist in her heart, as Princess Celestia spoke her mind, and said, “But, Discord you did not know, but the truth is I……….…….. I………….. I…….. I Lo—“ “YOU HATE ME, YOU DESPISE ME!!!!” “I even told myself once that the only reason you ever came to see me on those weekends was to find out more about Starswirl the Bearded, and at first I didn’t care about what you were really after, as long as I got to spend time with the most lovely, beautiful, and gorgeous pony in the whole world, and that’s why I never told you the truth, because I thought you run away and never want to see me ever again,” “But it don’t matter now anymore……… You once ask me why I had been living in Starswirl’s cottage, the reason I stated I had live there for centuries is…………. Because……….. I.......……. I……………… I am Starswirl the Bearded!!” Celestia stood there in shock of what she had just heard, was it true, was he truly Starswirl the Bearded, and if so why did she not figure it out sooner. Celestia just stood there hovering, as Discord flew away from her to destroy more buildings. The words replaying in her head over and over again. Until tears ran down her face. The Ancient Wizard she adored, and Draconequus she loved, were one in same, it was the happiest and saddest things she had ever heard. Meanwhile, Luna and Rex trying their best dodge attacks from Redsting, it turned out that it would harder than they thought, “Are you okay Luna,” “I am fine Rex, he just tougher then I remember,” “Yes indeed I am Luna,” “How can this be we are the best warriors in the Kingdom,” “Yes Rex you two are the best, the training you received from Luna proves that.” “But did she ever tell who train her,” “I was told that Luna was trained by King Morpheus, King of Dreams,” “Yes in magic, and dream walking, but in not swordsmanship, that was me.” “So even if you two are the best I know both your moves inside and out” They knew now that they were out matched when came to swords, but swords were not the only reason that they considered to be best warriors in the kingdom, they also had magic, so Luna flew in to the sky spinning though the rain storm, while Rex use his Crystal Magic to Impale Redsting tail with a tall crystal gem, “What are you doing?” “Turn you into a Lightning Rod,” “What?!!!!” “Luna NOW!!!!” Just then Luna pull down a massive Lightning Bolt, as Sir Redsting head on. The explosion was massive launching Luna and Rex to the wall thirty feet landing just ten feet from each other, but the resulting blast also cause ruble to fall on Rex’s hind legs “Ahh!!!!” Rex yelled out. “Are you okay Rex,” Luna cried out, “No I think my hind legs are broken, what about you,” “Of Course, you are worried about me, I am………. fine, I am stuck under a pillar” “What about Redsting, do you think he survived,” “It doesn’t look like he did” “OH, REALLY” Luna and Rex were shock to hear that voice, “How did he survive, I hit him head on with the biggest lightning bolt I have ever created,” “If it’s any consolation you did over cook half me.” Redsting stated as walk out of the smoke revealing that half his body had been burnt black. “But I guess it is more fitting to my name “Sir Redsting Blacklist” that half my body be RED, and half my body be BLACK I suppose it is ironic,” ****** Redsting walked towards them, “You know I have been telling you all of Luna’s secrets, so how about I tell Luna your secrets,” “I have keep no from secrets her,” “Oh really!!” “Then I will just tell her what my Informants found out about the destoyed orphanage where Starswirl found you as a foal.” “Rex what is he talking about,” “Oh so you haven’t told her yet, well then let me just tell Luna for you,” “No don’t—” “Silence Rex, if you two are going to be wed, then there should be no more secret between you two.” “Luna should know that I am not the only monster who like to tear apart ponies, like you did to those cruel bullies at the orphanage,” “No that wasn’t me that was the Shadows that kill them, that wasn’t me that was the Shadows!!” “Then how come that day was also the day you received your Obsidian Cutie Mark” “Rex I thought you received your Cutie Mark because you could form gem pillars with your magic” “I…………. I…………..” “No Luna his talent is not making Gem Pillar, it is Mass Murder.” “That was years ago, I am a better pony now, the Shadows are gone, I got rid of them before I even met Luna” “Are you sure, they are gone, because I bet if you were force to watch me MURDER your beloved Luna, then the Shadows would certainly stop me right.” Redsting then charged at Luna with his four blade ready to cut her to ripens, and Luna close her eyes she knew she going to die neither Rex nor her could move “NO, Luna, if only I could move my legs, DAMN IT, I don’t care what it will cost me, just somepony give me the Strength to save Luna,” “So be it,” a mysterious voice stated from the Shadows, as bells begin to ring from the Shadows. Seconds later, Luna felt blood hitting her face, as her eyes open, her eyes widen with Horror, as Rex had stepped in the way of the blades. All four blades were impaled into him, “REX!!!!” she yelled. Rex began to fall, when the Shadows caught him, hold him up, he then look at Luna, tears going down her face. He then lift the Pillar off of her with the help of the Shadows, “Luna my love I will love you now and always,” “Luna when the foals grow up tell them about me and how good of a husband I would have been, and how good a father I would been,” “What are saying, Rex” “I am saying this is GOODBYE!!” Rex stated as he lifted her to a safe distance with his magic, then he turn towards Redsting as the Shadows pull out the blades from his back while halting the blood. “So you Redsting want to see what to protect the one I love more than the whole world, and what I would be willing to give into for her,” “Yes I want to see it the talent of a mass murder,” “No I won’t Murder you, I WILL END YOU!!!!” Just then he began chant a dark Spell, as blackish beams of light began to shoot from Rex’s wounds and unite into a Blackish Rainbow, the wrap around Redsting Backlist turning him to Stone. As Rex finally fell, Luna pick herself up and flew down towards him, catching him in her hoofs. Rex look at her as he warped his hoofs around and said, “Luna is he gone,” “Yes he is gone, but what about you Rex, your bleeding all over the place,” “The Shadows could not stop the bleeding forever, so I am dying,” “I need you, the foals need you,” “No they need just you, my Love.” “No Rex, don’t go, don’t go,” Luna as she pull him for one last passionate kiss. The most painful sound echo though out the destroy courtyard, Rex’s hoof had landed in pool of Blood that surrounded them, as Luna pulled back to see her Beloved dead. A moment pasted, then she finally let out a loud Scream, “REX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” As Luna screamed her coat began to turn Black, her eye change to slits as her mane began to flow like a river though the air warping around them both, as the Nightmare force that had been hidden inside her since her training under King Morpheus King of Dreams when she was foal, finally came forth surrounding them in a Massive tornado of nightmares fill the entire courtyard, and destroying all that was left standing including the Statue of Sir Redsting Blacklist, which got torn to pieces in the tornado ****** Celestia could hear the scream from miles as she turned away leave Discord to do as he wished, while she flew back to the courtyard. Princess Celestia tried her best to fly though the tornado, getting cut up along the way, as she made her way to the center of the tornado, and as she landed she saw the sad site, Luna was holding Rex’s dead body, and crying. Celestia walked to her noticing a piece of one Redsting many legs, she use her magic she place in her bag, then she wrapped her wing around and said, “It’s okay to let him go, I know he is gone but his love will always be with you, little sister,” then Celestia back away as Luna began to revert back to normal and look up as the tornado began to clear. Just then, she noticed that all of Canterlot began to fall off the Mountain side, she grab her sister with her magic, pulling her away from Rex’s body as one Canterlot’s many tower fell right on to Rex’s body buring him ruble. Then Celestia while carry the crying Luna on her back flew out of the Castle fell down to mountain floor. She then flew herself and her sister to the one place they could seek refuge, even though Luna despised the place, they flew to the Crystal Empire. ****** In the ruble he walked the Mysterious dark blue Goat, till he finally found what he was looking for, once he arrived he rang the bells on his necklace and then out of the Shadows walked several of his loyal zombie zebra servants, as they lift up the ruble revealing the body. The dark blue Goat spoke, “Your no good to me dead,” as he stomped his hoof on the ground, he chanted the most evilest of spells. Then blood started to flow again. The pony woke up and said, “Who are you?” “Who am I? I am Grogar." TO BE CONTINUED?
Chapter 1: As Court BeginsAs Court got prepared, the nine jurors quietly sauntered into the room to sit down. These jurors were proud, rich nobles whose power and authority radiated off of them with their upturned heads and chests puffed out in pride. Coming after them was the Judge. He was a green seven foot tall minotaur named Sir Grainwill. As he sat down, he stated, "Bring in The Accused." As the guards brought in The Accused, the Judge and nine jurors sit down. The Accused was a light gray crystal unicorn with a dark gray mane and a black obsidian cutie mark. Coming in afterwards were Princess Celestia, her eyes filled with fury, and Princess Luna behind her with tears running down her face. She had been crying a lot these last few hours. Then the accuser appeared, a six foot tall, twenty foot long, four armed, one hundred legged, red Centipede named Sir Redsting Blacklist. He was the Royal Adviser to the princesses. Originally, he worked for their father, but after King Helios Quarts died at hands of the now Imprisoned Tirek, Redsting started working for princesses. Judge Sir Grainwill looked around his Courtroom. It was a grand marble covered room that had seen many cases both good and bad. He had hoped that today would be a good court day, but as he looked, all he could see was corrupt creatures who wanted to burn the Accused right on the spot. They did not care whether the Accused was guilty or not, all because the Accused was a hybrid between crystal pony and unicorn. The Purity believer had spread the idea that species immingling was forbidden, and a hybrid was considered to be evil. As the judge looked around, the only ones without racist hatred on their faces were the Princesses and their personal guards. But their faces were not happy either. Princess Celestia face was still radiating anger at the Accused, and Princess Luna was still crying, understandably. Luna was so very close the Accused. He was the first student she had ever taken in, and it would probably be her last for a long time. Then the judge looked at the Accused, the light gray pony name was Sir Rex Umbra, and on the face of Sir Rex Umbra was nothing but shame. Everypony had remembered the day when Sir Rex Umbra had arrived in Canterlot. It was before Rex had been Knighted. Rex had arrived to tell the Princesses of the death of his mentor, Starswirl the Bearded. After the funeral, Rex ask if one of the Princesses help him finish his training in the Arcane Arts and Swordsmanship. Princess Celestia denied the offer, due to being in too much pain from the loss of Starswirl, whom she loved and adored. Princess Luna, however, took up the offer. The training under Princess Luna was extremely hard for Rex. She would push his training every time she got a chance, and Rex enjoyed every minute of it. Three years he trained under Princess Luna, and he had gotten very good at the Arcane Arts and Swordsmanship. The two would often have sparring match in the Courtyard that everypony in Canterlot enjoyed to watch. Well, everypony except for Princess Celestia, who was always worried about the sparring match between Rex and Luna, mostly because they would almost always use real blade. But all their matches would always last for hours before either of them could get close a win, and in the end, there would never be a drop of blood drawn. They were both consider to be the best warriors in the entire kingdom. It was in the war with Tirek that the relationship between Luna and Rex became more than mentor and student. They had become very close, especially after he saved her by taking a blade in gut that was meant for her. After the war, Rex was Knighted for his valor. That day Luna and Rex both realized that they had slowly fallen love. But due to the Purity movement, they decided to keep this between them, and would meet in secret for dinner and dancing, in a hidden place in the Garden Maze. The only ones knew of the hidden place aside from Luna and Rex were Luna’s two personal guards. Rex and Luna were together for two years before this had happened. ****** As Court began, Judge Sir Grainwill asked, "What crime is Sir Rex Umbra accuses of committing," Sir Redsting stood up. "Sir Rex Umbra has committed the crime of Adultery." He stated. "I was unaware that mating outside marriage was a crime," "It is, when one of them has no consent, and especially when the victim was none other than Princess Luna." Rex quickly rose up. "Your Honor, you have to believe me I would never do such an evil act," He denied. "Then where were you on the night of question?" Sir Redsting questioned. "I don’t remember!" Rex yelled. "You don’t remember, or maybe you don’t want remember!" Redsting argued. "I said I don’t remember!" "Or you don’t care remember!" "I said I don’t remember!" "Order! Order! Order in the Courtroom!" Sir Grainwill yelled, slamming his gavel. "Fine then, so you are giving same excuse that Princess Luna gave to her sister, that both of you just woke up in bed together with no memory of the night before… who do you think the Court is going to believe? One of the rulers of our kingdom, or a pathetic Hybyss!" "Order! Order!” Sir Grainwill yelled once again. “That is enough Sir Redsting, I will not let you speak such Racist Slang in my courtroom, now call your first witness.” Hours passed as each corrupt witness played their part flawlessly, the case was slowly pushing Rex and Luna further and further apart, Rex denying everything that the witnesses accused him of doing. Ten hours past and then Sir Redsting call on his final witness… "I call upon Princess Celestia." Princess Celestia stood up and gave her statement. "I saw... Luna running out of Rex’s room crying..." ****** It only took only ten minutes for the jurors to find Rex guilty. It saw then that Judge Sir Grainwill agitatedly stated, "The Court has found you Sir Rex Umbra guilty. In one year you will be executed in the Courtyard. If you have anypony to contact, you have to the end to do so… case… closed." It was clear to everypony that the Judge was angered that Sir RedSting Blacklist go so far as to fill the Judge's Courtroom with such Corruption, just to win a case. Little did anypony know that Sir RedSting had done more than corrupt the Courtroom. As they slowly took Rex away, Rex yelled out, "Luna you have to believe I would never do such a thing, Luna! If you don’t believe then look on top of my dresser, the proof is in that box, please you have believe me, Luna!!!!" The guards took him away, and placed him in the Dungeon, Meanwhile in a place outside Equestria, a mysterious dark blue Goat made his way to Canterlot.
