Shining's Rise To Power - Two Royal Sisters Doom Equestia?

"Okay Skyla."

****

So once Celestia was gone, I took a breather and continued work on designing the new training programme. After I had finished the new designs for the training programme... You woke up demanding your favourite snack; chocolate swirl foal biscuits. I levitated you from your cot to my bed. I feed you on my bed as I signed the orphans entrance forms. You finished your snack, I cleaned you up and I floated you in my magic to your play pen, next to my bed. (Yes you was going to slow down my work but I didn't care.) By this time, I was half way through the orphan forms, when there was another knock at the door...

"Who is it?" I questioned

"It is thy, Princess Luna, we wish to speak with thou, Shining Armour." She called back though the door.

"Come on in Luna, I'm in my bed chamber with Skyla."

The door opened and I saw princess Luna walking towards me in a proud and professional way, that was until she saw you. She squealed in delight at the sight of you with chocolate round your face, a bit on your hooves and giggling. I apologized as you wiped your hoof on her fur.

"Sorry Luna got to distracted by these forms, I didn't notice, she had nicked the biscuits off the bed side and was STUFFING HER LITTLE GREEDY FACE!!" I said in a playful manner, you giggled louder and she laughed cleaning herself and you as I levitated the foal biscuits in to your foal cupboard and locked it. She then sat on the bed and spoke. You went back to playing with your fluffy animals and building blocks.

"We must talk about thy dear sister, Shining." I couldn't believe this...

"Okay, I'm guessing this is about last nights dinner? Correct?"

"Yes-"

"-Well, I forgive you and Celestia for what happen last night. My foals are at as much blame, they wouldn't behave and-"

"-NO! SHINING!, it's not thou's or thou's foals fault, its thy sisters." I had no idea, that both would blame one and other. Why she was blaming her sister. This still didn't make any sense.

"Luna, this don't make any-" She cut me off.

"-NO Shining, It was Celestia's doing for last nights; horrible argument at dinner and thys sister, she scared dear Flurry and Brave? correct?."

"Err....Yes Luna, my foals were very scared."

"Poor foals, Has thy sister apologized!??" She questioned.

"Err, No. I haven't really been out of my chambers today. I got breakfast for us all and the foal asked if they could eat in here. They did so, then they both went out together."

"Thou foals came from thou chamber's to eat with thou in here? Seems strange, why did thou not join us, in the dinning room. Thy missed thou Shining." I couldn't believe that both Princesses hadn't noticed.

"Hmm.....err... My foals stated to me they was too frightened to eat with you and Celestia this morning. AND they didn't come to my chambers this morning, they never left as the were far too terrified to leave last night, so they slept with me in my bed. Skyla slept in her cot, I moved it to the left side of my bed and slept there. Flurry slept next to me with Brave on her right. I even had to escort them out of the castle! This morning!"

I was unsure how she would react, Luna didn't show as much affection or sympathy as Celestia did.

"Thy is very sorry for thy sisters out of order attitude. I will personally make sure it doesn't happen to night. Poor foals."

I watched her gaze fell on you. You was trying to levitate your blocks in to a tower but It fell after just three blocks. She rebuilt it for you then handed you a fourth and held the tower steady. You place the block and carried on you got all 10 blocks in a tower. you clapped your hooves. I nuzzled you and spoke.

"Well Done my little princess." As I said this you pulled out the bottom 2 block and the tower fell. I shielded you quickly as the block fell you giggled. Again you had lightened the mood in the room. Me and Luna both laughed softly, I let the shield down and you tried again to build another tower. we carried on with the conversation.

Luna I don't think the foals feel comfortable with sitting at dinner tonight with you and Celestia, also please try to keep the subject of their mother out of conversations. They really just wish to move on and so do I." Now was the time to move on with a new subject. I really didn't want to re-talk about Cady but like Celestia, the subject was your mother.

****

"Dad, why didn't you tell Luna that Celestia had visited you??"

"Because I believe at the time, it was going to solve having an argument about it. But again I was wrong. I just delayed it and possibly made the whole situation worst. That part will come later."

****

As I was saying... The subject was your mother, I was ready to give up.

"Thou foals are excused from the dinning room for now. Shining thy is aware of thou nightmares and thou suppressing thys niece, thee Cadence out of thou thoughts and dreams. Shining, thy dearest sister is to blame not thou self. It's going to be hard but it's thy sisters it's fault." Again I couldn't workout where she got blaming Celestia from or where Celestia got blaming Luna from. They both hadn't done anything.

"How is it your sisters fault! Cadence was already dead, when you all arrived at the Crystal Empire!"

"Thy is aware shining, but we would have been at the Empire much earlier. If it wasn't for thy sister. Thy dearest sister wanted to banish them both if it was who we suspected. Thy on the other hoof wanted both killed instantly... but thou had other plans shining?"
She question.

"NO!! I didn't intend on killing her, until she torture me with my wife's death body and telling of her demise!" I felt so guilty again, my ears dropped and I nearly cried for a second time but I held strong.

"Thy knows what thou is going through, dearest shining. Thy has seen it in your dreams. Thy wishes thy can stop it for thou but we cannot. We have tried many times and failed; making thou nightmares worst for thou self.... Thy is very sorry Shining. Thy has failed thou my nephew. Thy is very sorry for her failure. Thee is also why thy hasn't said thee murderers name... out of respect. Thy knows her name hurts and crushes thou's heart. My dearest nephew."

That's what broke me... knowing someone else could see my pain. Knowing that it was affecting my auntie of the night. Questions raced throughout my mind-
- Why couldn't she stop it?
- Was this my fate?
- Am I causing Luna pain?

I couldn't hold on anymore for the second time I cried. Only I didn't cry alone, Luna cried too. It tore me apart knowing I cause Luna pain.

"why-y are you-u crying a-aun-tie" I managed to speak though tears as her wings wrapped me in a firm hug.

She spoke after what felt like a year of silence.... "Thy cries for thou nephew, we cannot stop thou's pain. Thy wants to but cannot and thy doesn't know why!"

I steadied my breathing and calmed myself down so did Luna. She snuggled in to me and we fell back. I fell on my back with Luna atop me. It was nothing sexual, just a tight hug. She composed herself and apologized for her actions.

"Thy is sorry nephew, thy didn't mean to do that. Anyway thy just wishes to help thou."

"Its fine auntie, I enjoyed the feeling. It would help, if you could just forget these 2 days and start a fresh with Celestia." Why did I say that?? I thought immediately after I said it.

"No!! thy sister must be punished, thy will see thy advisers about this."

"BUT-"

"NO BUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She boomed in the Canterlot voice, scaring the crap out of you as you screamed. I held you as you fell asleep. Luna continued and apologized.

"Sorry nephew, anyway thy sister needs punishing. She didn't kill Sombra, just banished him and She was the reason we nearly die from a changeling attack! My nephew thou suffer because of my sister... Thou doesn't deserve such fate it is thy sister that does! Will we expect to see thou at dinner nephew?

"Probably not auntie... Can I not talk you out of this punishing your sister plan?"

"NO! Dearest nephew we will see you tomorrow"

With that she got up and walk away before she shut the door to my chambers I said.

"Bye auntie....."

I wasn't disturbed until dinner time... good thing too as I had a lot to think about.... Both rulers of Equestria was plotting to punish the other. They both had to come today to try and have their say and convince me they was right. All within about an hour of each other. All they wanted to do was chat behind the others back and talk about your mother . It was silly! Also very confusing and depressing.

I had watched as the captain of the guard, Luna and Celestia reconnected after a thousand years and within 5 years they was at each others throats again!!!

****

"Wow, Dad was it really that bad?"

"Yes, Skyla it really was and was about to get worst......................
