Unexpected Friendship and Love

A/N: After thinking long and hard for this story I finally have a few chapters in mind and some of them have a twist to the whole thing.

Now onto the story.

By the way play: Comatose by Skillet for the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything I don't own.

The castle of Canterlot remained quiet for the most part, absent except for hoof steps echoing the halls. Guards patrolled, maids and butlers clean and care for whoever they're supposed to, and the smell of food coming from the kitchen signaled dinner is almost ready to be distributed to anypony that wanted something to eat.

Primus stirs carefully, feeling coldness on the back of his neck from extreme nervousness and a couple glares. The princesses finally allowed Primus to cook, but only when they are in the room and have a chef to make sure he doesn't blow anything up.

He takes the pot away from the stove and places it on the large table in the middle of the room for everypony to see his latest work: A vegetable and rice broth that smelled fresh and hints of an assortment of flowers for taste and medicine. Even if nopony was sick then this would keep them from becoming sick.

Primus takes a ladle and pours the food into the awaiting bowls. The princess's ears were laid back as if securitizing the meal in front of them. Luna carefully brings the spoon with her magic and picks up a sizeable amount from the bowl. She brings the spoonful to her mouth, but stops short of entering. Primus's eyes shake with nervousness from the idea of being rejected. After almost a minute of waiting Luna takes the spoonful into her mouth and chews the food carefully. She stops for a moment as her eyes open wide then chews even slower to check something. Luna then closes her eyes and chews faster and happily, with a small mmmm to go along with it.

Luna swallows and wipes her mouth with a nearby handkerchief. "It's official sister. Primus is now a better cook."

Primus lets out the breath he has been holding ever since he poured the food. "That's a relief." He wipes his forehead with his foreleg and sits down on the other end, taking a bowl for himself.

Celestia follows her sister in the meal taking and nods once after trying it herself. Primus lets his tense muscles relax at Celestia's approval. He starts to eat himself, but taking an even bigger spoonful and almost swallowing it whole. He eats with gusto and enjoys his own creation.

Celestia then brings a file on the table that didn't go unnoticed by Primus. "Onto the matter on hand." She opens the file and lays out the papers in front of Primus while still eating like it wasn't the important thing going on. "These pictures came to me after our little trip to the spa. I do not know what type of pony or even a creature could cause this kind of damage, but I fear that it could come here." Primus lifts a picture of a town square filled with bodies of ponies dead on the ground with blood pools around them, all while still eating with his other hoof. "The only reports that the guards could find is that the townsponies rambling about a 'monster bladed pony.'"

Primus just looks his lover with a deadpan look. "In my line of work, that's normal." He then studies the other photographs of the town looking for anything that help who have done do this. "Any evidence of how it got into town in the first place? I doubt that a 'monster bladed pony' can get past anypony without being noticed."

Celestia takes another spoonful and shakes her head. She swallows and says "They're still working on that."

He puts down the picture he was holding on the table. "Well nothing we can do about that now. I say we drop this until another attack comes in."

A clatter is heard in the room as both princesses drop their utensils onto the table. "WHAT!" They yelled as they got up and bring themselves over the table.

Primus went on undisturbed and ate another spoonful. "Are you saying that we should just drop this thing until more of our subjects gets killed in the process?!"

The door suddenly slams open and Chrysalis rushes into the room. "I heard yelling. Is everything alright?"

Primus turns to her with a smile on his muzzle. "Everything is fine. We're just enjoying our meal, want to join?"

Chrysalis stares awkwardly at them then looks down and shakes her head. Just another day with the life of Primus. "Why not." She takes a seat Primus where the chef, who for some reason has earplugs in his ear, poured her a bowl of Primus's cooking. She leans her head onto Primus, feeding off the radiating love from him, while trying real, touchable food. Primus rubs his head against Chrysalis giving her all the love he can. Chrysalis sighs in content and leans in more.

Primus then turns his attention back to the angry princesses. "I'm just saying that with one attack there isn't much to go on. In almost all the crimes I have seen throughout my life there would be at least two attacks before they catch the perp." Luna calms down and sits back into her seat in understanding. Celestia still is angry with him for forgetting about this and in the process more of her subjects are dying, so she is still hanging in front of Primus's face. "I can't catch whoever or whatever did this just from one attack and I have all I need from these papers and pictures, so the best chance is to get them on the second attack." Primus shrugs slightly at the explanation, like he was saying it forever to others. "I'm not going to go out there running around everything in the town like a chicken with its head cut off."

Celestia stares at Primus with her 'slightly' angry face, but then huffs and sits down back in her place. He did have a point and that was enough for her so she conceded in this fight. The female doesn't always win. (No offense.)

Primus gives a sigh as another matter came to mind. "Also the pony who gave me the cure, Umbra," He looks to the princesses for confirmation that they remember. "His only request for me to the cure was to 'help your friends save the crystal kingdom' as place down into the note. Why would he have me help save the Crystal Kingdom if Twilight and the others can do it without me and it would have happen anyway?"

Celestia puts her hoof to her chin as she thinks about it. "There may have to be a gain for him as he wouldn't have gone to all of this trouble just to pronounce himself. What is there to gain from all of this?"

Primus racks his brain for answers, but the only thing he could up with is the crystal heart. With King Sombra gone and the kingdom back in the crystal ponies control the heart is up for grabs. Problem is that the heart is useless to him. Only the magic from the crystal ponies can power the heart and even then it has to be from the kingdom itself and the crystal ponies desire to be in use. "I got nothing."

Celestia and Luna both look at each other as they came to the same conclusion…nothing. Everypony at the table sighs, but there was one last thing. "Hey chief, how about some water?"

The rest of meal continued in silence, not counting the moans of content coming from Chrysalis. When everypony was finished the chef came picked up bowls and everypony left to their dwellings. But for some reason Primus was actually walking down the hallway that only led to the main entrance. This didn't go unnoticed by the mares.

"Primus," He stops and turns to Celestia. "Where are you going? Our room is the other way."

Primus gives a deep chuckle in his throat. "The door to my home is unlocked. So I'm going to do damage control and find out what I missed while I was away."

If you look hard enough you can see question marks over the mares' head. "When did you visit your home?"

Primus laughs openly at their cluelessness. "On the day of the spa silly."

This raised more question marks over their heads. "I thought that the so-called key needed would need you for a whole day there." Celestia pointed out.

Primus tries to stifle his laughs, but was failing miserably. "It was just a one touch thing. Do you think that I, Primus, would be able to stand still for a whole day while channeling power for a ward the whole time too?"

Celestia got stumped, except Luna, who liked the fact that the tables turned for her sister, and Chrysalis, who chalks it up for another silly stunts that Primus pulls. Then Luna laughs with Primus, making their laughs echo around the stone hallways and being able to make it hearable for others in range. Chrysalis couldn't hold it in any longer and fell into laughter too. Celestia looks at them all then gives one chuckle, then another chuckle, then another, until she fell into the ring of laughter. Her ears were finally hearing one of Primus's genuine laughs for a long time and that was one of the most special things about him.

The laughter soon dies down as everypony still had some chuckles left in them and their bodies was trying to let them all loose. They all soon went outside near the gate entrance to see the two individuals of the group leave. Everypony soon stood where they are now supposed to. Chrysalis was standing next to Primus waiting for their leave while the princesses stood on the other, although Celestia stood in front of Primus.

Celestia gave a sigh as she felt like he was leaving her again. "You will come to visit every now and again, won't you?" Her head was getting closer with each passing second.

Primus gave his signature smirk and huffs. "I'm still the princesses' protector, aren't I?"

Celestia looks into his eyes full of merriment and lets out a small laugh escape her. "Yes, you are our bodyguard and you must do what we say." She had a devious plan and he knew it.

Primus decides to play along; her head is getting close enough anyway. "Then what are your orders?"

Celestia smirks at the idea. "How about you kiss the princess goodnight, since you were sort of our foal sitter."

Primus lets out a small chuckle. "Alright, as you order princess." He then kisses her full on the lips falling into her warmth that radiated from the sun princess. Celestia moans at the old feeling of being kissed and not only that, but it is being done by Primus. Her mane gets more color as it mirrors the feeling of its owner. She can feel Primus's lips pull into a smile without breaking the kiss because of her lusty state. The kiss lasted hours for them, but it was only minutes and so, with great reluctance, they both pull away slowly as they savior the moment.

The clouds in the sky darken and thunder clapped, telling the ponies outside that they can't stay long. Both the protector and the sun goddess turns to the sky as it filled up with denser and darker clouds telling them that it is going to be a heavy downpour.

The lovers look at each other again. "I should get going before it gets flooded out here." Primus brings his hood up; making sure it wouldn't come off from a future windblast.

Celestia nods sadly and gives him one last kiss on the cheek that last a little longer than a peck that most get. She pulls back and walks back into the castle with her sister, the door banging shut behind her. Primus stares at the door for a few seconds before walking away to his home, located between Ponyville and Canterlot, with Chrysalis following. If you are going to question how he got there fast it was because he used a speed ward.

The walk through Canterlot was foreboding. The rain finally came down in a heavy downpour. Puddles littered the streets, swinging signs rocked back and forth in the wind, and cloth signs became heavy from wetness. Nopony was out on the streets tonight as the large amount of rain might, as they put it, 'Wet our finest clothing'. Like they don't have a hundred more to choose from.

Primus and Chrysalis try to keep out of the rain as best they could. By going under awnings and left over tables with umbrellas on them. Luckily Primus knew Canterlot like the back of his hoofs and led Chrysalis through the path with the most covers.

Chrysalis shook herself as the water accumulated on her fell off only to be replaced. "Isn't there something in your bag to keep me out of the rain?" She shook again, her mane and tail flying wildly.

Primus stares at her as she shook, her shaking actually giving him a view glimpses of the private sector and making him slightly blush. "Not really." He looks around until his eyes landed on a pub nearby that was still open. "Let's get in there and I'll try to find you something." He said pointing to the pub.

Chrysalis only ran past him as a response and went inside. Primus chuckled and followed her. Inside the pub the first thing Primus noticed that the room was bathed in a light red, yet still giving dark area in the corners. A bar sat on side with the bottle shelves behind it while the other side had walled in tables and stand alone tables in the middle. The pub was mostly empty except for the bartender and a few patrons drinking way past their limit, and it was showing as they swayed and put their head down on the tables.

Chrysalis shook herself more for the last time, making her mane land on her face. She moves her wet mane out of her face and takes a look around. "Are you sure this was a good idea?" She said as her eyes landed on two stallions asleep at their seats by the bar.

Primus shakes himself to not anger the bartender. He walks past her and takes a seat at the bar near the bartender. "Positive. This place is quiet around this time of the day."

Chrysalis takes a seat with him. She looks past him and sees a stallion that looked fresh and just starting to drink. The stallion takes a shot of his vodka filled glass and slams it back down on the table. "Another." His ruff voice came out.

The bartender refilled his glass without a word. "And you can leave the bottle." The bartender looks at him for a few seconds before placing the large vodka bottle on the table.

The bartender came over to Primus and Chrysalis and looks at them questionably. "What's your poison?"

They look at each as Chrysalis shrugs, not knowing what to get. Primus turns back to the bartender with his order. "Water for the mare and vodka for me."

The bartender turns around and grabs a vodka bottle off the shelf and pours Primus a glass. He places the glass near Primus, who holds it in his hoofs not ready to take a drink. The bartender then heads over to a sink and pours some water and then slides it down the bar to Chrysalis, who catches as it slow down in front of her.

The gruff voice stallion turns to look at them with a heavy gaze. "You two wouldn't happen to be a couple now would you?"

Primus looks at him by just moving his eyes and then looks down to his drink again. "Yeah, you got a problem?"

The stallion shakes his head dismissively. "Nah, I was just wondering. It was the look in her eyes that told me when she looked at you."

Primus looks at him again, but this time spots his cutie mark. He then looks back at his face. "I thought you would hate changelings." Primus takes a small sip of his drink, but held it in his mouth, trying to stay clear headed for what lies ahead.

The stallion shakes his head again. "I actually don't care what species comes my way. 'If it's hostile, kill it.' That is what a guard told me one time. He disappeared when he went away for a mission. Nopony knows what happen, but he got marked as KIA."

Primus nods his head at the story. "Say you wouldn't have to know anything about the Crystal Kingdom, would you?"

The stallion smiles broadly. "Not much, just this crystal heart." He takes out a crystal piece from his saddle bag lying near him on another seat and lays it on the bar. It is the real crystal heart that was supposed to be in the Crystal Kingdom.

Primus's eyes narrowed. 'Gotcha.' "Where did you get that?"

The stallion smiles like he was just happy to be here. "My pet got it for me."

Primus starts to run scenarios through his head. "Hello Umbra."

The stallion, now Umbra, smirks. "Hello Primus and Queen-, oh I'm sorry, Chrysalis."

Primus snaps his neck to Chrysalis. "Get to Celestia and get every single guard that she can spare."

Umbra looks behind Primus as the only thing he sees is a door slowly closing. "She's fast I'll give her that." He then turns back to Primus. "What are you going to do now?"

Almost everypony who was coherent enough bolted out of there, all except for a sleeping stallion in the corner of the pub. Primus spits his sip back into the glass and turns, full body, to him. "You know the heart is useless to you, right?"

Umbra laughs as if he just heard the semi-funniest joke in the world. "The heart was enchanted idiot. I took it off after I got it and placed in a new one."

Primus got out of his seat, his mind going through what blood wards to use. "What is the new enchantment?"

Umbra leans against the bar and takes another shot of his drink. He lets out a sigh of content as he said, "Let's just say it's like a Fire Ruby combined with a concentration of magic and a slight drop will make it explode. You got the image in your head?"

Primus only nods to convey his answer. An enchanted Fire Ruby like that can cause a house like the ones in Ponyville to glass.

"Now think of it a hundred times more and what do you get?" Primus eyes widened, the heart like that can wipe out the city of Canterlot. "The power of the crystal ponies are still inside the heart and with the enchantment gone and mine placed it is basically a ticking time bomb." He pours himself another shot and chugs it down in one gulp. "Boom." He puts lightly.

Primus growls menacingly, sharp teeth showing ready to bite and pull. "I suggest you hoof over the heart or be killed. You know that this can be categorized as a capital crime with punishment as death. So I'm cleared for this."

Umbra merely taps his hoof on the bar three times. The bathroom door slams open, making it break the bottom hinge and bending the door on the top hinge, as a pony, completely ready to pounce like an attack dog, stands ready with sharp wing like blades. "Deal with my pet first." Umbra packs up the heart and walks past Primus, who made no move to him, and walks outside in the pouring rain.

Primus stares down at the so called pet ready for the first move. The pony in front of him growls so lightly that it echoed off the walls making it seem distant in the streets. Primus reaches into his saddlebags on his back and takes out his sword. The monster in front of him sees this as an opportunity to strike and lunges for him. Primus holds the gleaming blade in front of him ready for the fight.

The opens again as Umbra steps inside, walking past the blade and wing- blade locked fighters. He calmly walks over to the bottle he was drinking from and places it in his bag. "I paid for that, I'm not going to let it go to waste." He heads to the door once again, passing the two grunting fighters who didn't even look in his direction. "Go back to your fight you two."

Chrysalis ran as fast as she could to the castle. She didn't see where she was going as she slipped and fell into a large puddle. Her chitin armor and mane and tail became slick with mud and water. She quickly got back onto her hooves and shook herself off before running again. 'Can't stop. I won't even rest.'

She soon ran onto Main Street and headed towards the castle where two guards saw her coming. They quickly got into position thinking that Chrysalis came back for an attack. Chrysalis only stop short of them and started to pant heavily.

"Trouble…Primus…need guards and…Celestia." She said before passing out. That was the longest and hardest she ran, but it was too much for her, especially for these conditions, even adding to the fact that the adrenaline from everything that happen in the last few minutes.

The guards look at each before they nodded. One of the guards went inside to warn Celestia while the other picked up Chrysalis on his back and took her inside to the infirmary.

The guard that went to warn Celestia will go on to tell his grand foals about the time Princess Celestia faced hoof so hard that she dented her crown.

Shining Armor ran down the wet slickened streets as fast as he could without trying to trip. Behind him is a whole battalion of guards ready for anything. If Shining knows how much trouble Primus could be in then he would need this many stallions. They turn on the sharp corner of the street leading to the pub, making a few guards slip and slide from the momentum. The other guards press on as they can pick themselves back up again.

The battalion finally reaches the pub, only to recoil back as the front wall explodes and a clanging of steel can be heard. The dust from the explosion settles a little and the guards can make out two figures fighting each other. The taller one takes a swing at the smaller one making it back off a little only to jump right back at the taller one as retaliation.

The dust becomes washed away as the rain only came down harder with lightening to back it up and heavy thunder. The guards finally see Primus's opponent. A glowing red eye pony with blood smeared over most of its body. The most shocking thing is the wing like appendages on its forelegs. The wings shined even with blood on it and looked sharp to the touch. Nothing else caught their eye other than a blood soaked mane and tail.

Primus deflected another swipe to the side as the monster in front of him tried to strike sideways. He then made a downward strike only for it to be caught when the pony brings both of its blades in the way, making his sword locked in the gaps of the 'feather' blades. The clang that was produced from the attack reverberated throughout the street, bouncing the sound waves off the water and slick walls.

Primus looks down the street to see Shining and the rest of the guards staring wide eyed at them, or rather the pony in front of him. "Get your flank in gear. The one you're looking for has the crystal heart and it is acting like a Fire Ruby with an enchantment…" He brings his sword up and tries to side swipe the side of the creature only for it to jump up and land down the street away from the group. He turns back to the battalion, "that will make a city the size of Canterlot to explode! You must find him before he gets out of the city!" He yelled over the storm.

Shining quickly directed his guards to find any suspicious ponies trying to get out of the city and detain them while looking through their belongings. The guards complied with the orders and ran off to complete them. This only left Shining and four guards with Primus and the unknown creature. The creature hisses at its opponents before running off in the opposite direction.

Primus curses mentally as he runs after it and holding his sword by his mouth. Two guards go up into the air trying to give them a pegasus-eye view. The other two bring up two crossbows by them ready to fire. The ones on the ground run after Primus trying to keep a distance from the fight, knowing how destructive it can get.

Primus ran as fast as he could quickly catching up to the creature. He then flies kick a large wagon left behind like last time. The creature looks behind it and stops while sliding around and brings it wings in an upward motion and slices the wagon in half making the pieces land behind it. The creature brings its foreleg behind it, ready to slice again, its eyes glowing even redder than before.

Primus lunges at the creature trailing his sword on the ground ready for an upward slicing move. When he reaches the creature it only brings its foreleg to its front and blocks the attack. It then brings its other wing around and slices Primus arm and part of his chest, making blood seep out at a steady pace. Primus staggers back and holds his chest injury with his other foreleg. That strike actually made his leg useless, of course that has to done by a professional because you have to know where the nerves are.

The creature only smirks at his predicament. It then laughs loudly above the volume of the storm. "You are getting older and older Primus." That voice is definitely female.

The guards with crossbows lines up their shot and fire, sending the arrows through the air at the now female creature while Shining fires off a blasting spell. The female creature merely blocks itself with one of its wings, making the arrows harmlessly bounce off and clatter to the ground and the spell dissipates.

Primus only pants once. "Who are you and why do you work for him?"

The creature laughs again. "You should know these moves Primus. You taught me them."

Primus suddenly has a flashback of that certain memory as the voice and moves processed in his mind.

Almost 4,500 years ago

Clanging of swords and panting are heard in a clear grassy field. The wind blew softly making the grass sway in the direction of the wind like a field of flowers.

Primus made a downward strike on his blocking opponent making the pony stumble slightly side to side. He gains a frown at the reaction. "Come on now. You have to spread the blow evenly otherwise you are an easy pick for a blade through your heart."

The pony readjusts itself as it pants heavily for practicing almost an hour. "Sorry…Primus…I'm just…really tired." The pony stabs the sword into the ground to support itself.

Primus sighs as he was feeling a slight exhaustion. "Fine, how about a break?" The pony's only response is to drop the sword and fall face down on the grassy field. Primus raises an eyebrow at the response. "That's a bit of an overreaction."

The pony moves its head to the side to breathe better, its black mane partly covering its face. "Water."

Primus grabs a water skin bag from his saddle bag and opens the top. He puts the opening to her mouth and lets her drink. After a large consuming of water he pulls the water skin away and tightens the opening. "You are still crazy to push yourself like this."

The pony on the ground chuckles at the notion. "Not pushing…training. There's a difference."

Primus shakes his head while looking up and then looks back at the pony. "You're still crazy Amelia."

They both laugh at one her actions and gave up on the training for the day for a night under the stars.

Present

Primus blinks as it all came back to him. "You Amelia? You're the one who slaughtered the town?"

Amelia shakes her head slightly with a frown. "I had to or he'll kill me."

Primus knew that she was talking about Umbra. "You know you can still take him with the knowledge and moves I have given you."

Amelia brings her wing shield down and looks at the streets. "I knew he was still too strong, besides I was bound to run into you in time anyway with the way he was acting." She rushes forward at Primus.

Primus tries to bring his sword up, but was slow to act with her speed. Amelia knocks the sword from his hoof and brings a wing to his neck, almost pushing it inside. Amelia had a cold look to any other being that looks in her eyes, but Primus could see an apologetic feeling behind it. Amelia leans in close to his ear. "Discord." She gives him a quick kiss on the cheek as she pulls away then slices Primus neck and sending him to the ground, making blood fly and landing on the ground and buildings only to be wash away by the storm. Lighting and thunder plays in the background as Primus's body falls to the ground doing a splash in the blood-laden water.

Amelia runs away as fast as she could believe what she did was right. She stops to take a breather and licks the blood from her blade stained with Primus's blood. A few moments past as she closes her eyes and savors the taste before running off again.

Shining and the guards quickly ran to Primus and try to stop the bleeding. Primus grabs Shining's armor from the chest area and pulls his head to his. He whispers in his ear even if he words came out gurgled Shining can still understand it, "Release…Discord…po...po…" Primus slowly lets go as the strength to hold falls from his grasp and the last word lost on his tongue. The meeting of Amelia and the sudden injury left him in shock and speed up his time limit.

Shining pulls his head back and backs away from the body. The two guards try to revive him, but even they know it's a lost cause. Shining turns away from Primus's dead body and looks toward the castle, mainly the Canterlot Gardens. 'Primus always had a good reason for doing stuff that even the Princess won't allow.' He looks at Primus's limp form again. 'Best follow his wishes.' He thought heavily.

Shining grabs Primus's body and places it on his back. He then focuses his magic and concentrates a teleportation spell to the gardens. Even though barrier spells were his expertise, teleportation is next in line. There is a great big flash and crackling as Shining disappeared with Primus. The guards left behind looks at each in worry.

'How will the Princess react to this?'

In the Canterlot Gardens the rain came down heavily as statues and flowerbeds become slick with water. A crackling is heard as a ball of light appears right in the middle of the gardens. The ball of light grows bigger and lighting erupts from it before dissipating and reveling Shining Armor and Primus, dead on his back.

Shining quickly ran towards where Discord is held. While running down the paths he passes the Immortal Love statue and notices that the plaque has changed. He shakes his head and continues on. When he reaches Discord he notices that nothing has changed except for vines and bird poop all over it.

Shining places Primus's body in front of the statue and ponders on how to release him. 'Well chaos got him out in the first place.' He calls over the guards watching the garden and thinks about what to give as orders.

The four guards that are called over hurriedly run over as to not anger the captain. They all stand by each other in two by two formations ready for anything. "We have to release Discord to get to fighting over something real with each other!" Shining yells over the rain. Suffice to say that go over with them well, but they did as they ask.

One guard turns to his partner. "You know I slept with your wife yesterday."

His partner stares at him in shock. "YOU BASTERED!" He launches himself at his friend and proceeds to kick his flank to next Tuesday.

The other group looks at the fighting ones until they look at each other. "You know my little colt, right?"

The one guard merely nodded. "The bad colt, right?"

He partner nodded. "He's going to ask your little filly out on a date."

The other guard widens his eyes. Nopony touches his foal or goes out with her without permission. "You tell him to keep away from her."

The partner shakes his head. "Nah, he can go out with whoever he wants to." He waves a hoof dismissively.

"YOU TELL HIM TO KEEP AWAY FROM HER!" And those two start to fight.

Shining watches as the guards fight over probably fake reasons. He then turns to the statue and sees cracks are beginning to form. The fighting drags on for another minute as more and more cracks start to take over the statue until...

BOOOMMM

"Finally I'm free." There was a pause. "And it's raining."

A pop sounds out of nothing as Discord is reveled himself. (I'm not going to waste time describing him becuase there is too much to discribe, so it's better to look him up and see the picture of him yourself. Only then you can understand how and what he looks like.) He floats in midair, but stands as if he was touching the ground. He is holding a medium size umbrella in the direction of the incoming rain.

Discord grumbles as he holds out his tiger's paw to the rain, trying to see how bad it is. "Of all the times I become free, it had to be raining. Unbelievable." He then looks down and sees four guards fighting, another guard giving him a cold glare, but the rain is doing that job for him, and a dead Primus…wait what?

He drops the umbrella and slither fly down to the dead form of Primus. Discord crosses his arms and shakes his disapprovingly. "Of course I would be released for this."

Shining Armor grows more worried as more time passes so do Primus's chances of coming back. "Is there any way to bring him back? He something about a 'po'."

Discord rubs his chin thought. "He must be talking the life potion. That was the day I tried to be a good guy. Didn't work out so well." He snaps his fingers and brings the potion in question in his hand. "Seal the wound and pop open his mouth."

Shining brings out a medic dressing from his armor and hurries to seal the wound on his neck, while he opens his mouth for the coming drink of his life. Discord pulls the cork from the bottle and holds it over Primus's mouth. "Well, bottoms up, old friend." He then tips the potion over and sends the liquid into the awaiting mouth. Discord then shuts the mouth close and pushes upward on his Adam's apple, making Primus drink even if he's dead.

There was a tense minute as only the pounding rain is heard as all the beings in the area wait to see if the life potion works. The guards that were fighting to free Discord stops in mid-fight to watch what happens. Another agonizing minute passes and everypony and chaos dragon is becoming even more worried. After another minute Shining takes a hoof and holds it to Primus's neck. He moves around the side to feel a pulse and wouldn't you know it. Primus's heart is beating, but his lungs aren't breathing at all.

Shining quickly takes Primus on his back and takes his inside the castle to the infirmary, all while doing the breathing for him with his magic by controlling the air to move inside him and out. A lot harder than you think. Discord follows close behind, worried for his very old friend.

Primus groans lightly as he feels his body responding to him. He opens his eyes to be blinded by the light flooding the room. He tries to raise his leg to cover them, but feels it weighed down. Primus looks down and sees Celestia sleeping on his foreleg. He tries to raise the other one, but feels the same thing. He looks over and sees Chrysalis has taken residence on that foreleg as well.

Primus smiles weakly at the concern from his two mares. He shakes his forelegs to rouse them from the sleep and they immediately jolt up. They look left and right to find what woke them until their eyes land on an upright Primus. Primus braces himself for the coming action.

Both the mares launch themselves at him, hugging him profusely and almost breaking his ribs. "You're awake!"

"GAHHHH!"

A yell is heard in another part of the room followed by a thud. Primus looks to the noise and sees Discord on the ground next to a couch that he possibly made.

Discord rubs the possible bruise on the back of his head and grumbles quietly to himself. His eyes then lands on the waking protector and two alicorn mares. He forgets about the not likely injury and walks over to them. "I must Primus that every time I see you, you are always neck deep in trouble. Only this one was six feet under." He reaches the bed and stands in front of them while leaning on the bed frame. "What happened?" Discord said seriously.

Primus looks down in disgrace as his memories return with a vengeance. "Amelia happened."

Discord gains a shocked look, but Celestia and Chrysalis gains a confused look at the fact that Primus's old lover came back. "That's impossible. You have to be lying."

Primus shakes his head while still looking down. "You can ask Shining Armor. He saw and heard everything."

Discord sighs and rubs his head until the headache goes away. Celestia and Chrysalis look at each other in worry. They then turn their attention to Primus. "What happened out there?" Celestia asks while hugging him harder.

Primus shakes his head telling them that he can't speak of that ordeal right now. He grabs the two closer and buries his face in their mane, only wanting to see the colors of his two lovers right now.

"Oh." Discord snaps his fingers and a letter pops into existence. "This is for you Primus." He drops the letter onto Primus's lap, leaving it for him to open when ready. "And don't worry about me going back to statue world. Celestia has plans for me on Twilight and her friends so this whole thing did half the work." He then floats towards the door. "See you later, old friend." And with that he was gone, closing the door behind him.

Primus sighs heavily as he lifts his head and falls back onto the bed, letting go of the mares in the process. "I just want to sleep right now."

Celestia and Chrysalis gives him a look of worry before getting up and stepping in front of his bed. Primus gives both of them a confused look, he thought that they were going to leave.

As this room is the infirmary then there is more beds right besides Primus's. Celestia chose the left bed and Chrysalis the right, if you just entered the room. They both grab their beds with their magic and pull them until closer until become flushed with Primus's. They both have an equal smile on their muzzle and they come around again and lay down in their chosen beds. Primus smiles again, these mares are going to be the death of him. When they pull the covers over themselves they give Primus a kiss goodnight and fall asleep.

Primus stares at them for a little while longer before falling into the warmth of the dreams.

Just to let you know, Discord was originally going to be release even before they release the summary of the next episode. And yes, Discord is a friend of Primus. Any case I have more plans for the future chapters so hang on, I've got get them in order.
