"Hm?"
Onyx and Queen Chrysalis laid on the bed together with Onyx sitting beside her, brushing her turquoise mane, "You know that day we spent in your hive and I was reminiscing about my past. You remember what we did before that?"
'"Mmmm. . . vividly," Chrysalis sighed contently.
"I-I'm not sure how breeding works with your species. . . but. . . are Scout and Jet"
Chrysalis erupted into laughter, "No! Goodness no!"
"That's. . . that's what I thought," he said despondently, "I just wanted to make sure. I guess."
Chrysalis felt his love drop immensely. She turned her head to him and stared at his sapphire eyes and examined him with her peridot gems. He smiled weakly back at her. "One hundred and seventy more brushes to go," she informed him and rested her head back on her crossed forelegs.
"As you say, my Queen," Onyx obeyed.
"Princess Woona?" Cobalt Blossom beamed up at the midnight blue alicorn, her ice blue eyes glimmering.
"Yes? What do you need, young one?" Princess Luna inquired as she stood by the window and stared at the blacksmithing shack where black smoke puffed out of a chimney.
"Princess Woona, would you teach me how to read and write?" Cobalt Blossom asked innocently.
Luna stared at the little filly who gazed up at her with big eyes. "I. . ."
"Grey said that Princess Woona was the smartest and that he would be very sad if you could not help me," Cobalt Blossom stuck out her lower lip and flattened her ears back, "I would be very sad."
Luna's heart melted. "Alright, young one, I will teach you. Just. . . stop with that face. Please."
Cobalt Blossom jumped up and down, "Yay!"
"First lesson: my name is not 'Woona' it is 'Luna'," the Princess sat on her haunches.
"I know!" she chimed, "Grey said to say it like that because I'm adorable and you'd like it!"
Princess Luna averted her gaze from the bundle of blue cuteness, "Y-Yes. . . well. . . we do not dislike it."
"Wow!" Scout exclaimed, "It's like. . . you can do whatever you want with them and they don't even move!"
Scout Melanite and Jet Sentinel worked for hours to make the guard ponies move or say something. They made funny faces, funny sounds, flew around their heads, called them nameseverything. Well, not everything.
Jet smiled mischievously, "If I can get them to move, you have to do my homework for two weeks. Deal?"
"Deal!" Scout agreed, "There is no way you can get them to move."
"Heh heh heh," Jet cackled softly. She landed beside one of the guards and pointed her rear towards him. She lifted her tail and began urinating on him.
Fluttershy sat on by the rock which covered Wolf's remains. She wore a red scarf which flapped in the wind. The wind blew the flowers she had spent the whole day planting around his tomb. She sniffled and sat guard by the tomb until Princess Luna raised the moon. The ground started to rumble and crack. The massive rock crumbled and a shadow loomed over her. She turned around and saw Darqlon drenched in blood. He started charging at her and then.
Fluttershy sat up in bed. She was covered in a cold sweat with her heart threatening to escape from her chest.
"What's wrong?" a comforting voice questioned in her mind.
On the side of her bed, she saw the silhouette of a wolf with his giant head resting on the bed. She heaved a sigh of relief. "I just had a terrible nightmare," she confided in the wolf, "You were dead, Prys, and I saw Darqlon covered from head to hoof in blood."
The wolf licked her cheek reassuringly, "I am right here."
Fluttershy wrapped her hooves around his furry neck, "It was frightening!"
"I will do my best to live as long as I can," Wolf patted her back. After a few minutes of Fluttershy not letting him go, Wolf tapped her back again. . . and again. He cleared his throat, "You can let go now, Fluttershy. . ."
"No."
Wolf shrunk to the size of a pup to slip out of her clutches and grew to normal size on top of the bed. Fluttershy gazed at him with sad eyes, "Fluttershy, you do not need to worry. Please, go back to sleep."
Fluttershy sniffled, "Okay."
Wolf pulled the cover over Fluttershy and tucked her into bed.
Queen Chrysalis watched Onyx as he walked around the tower under her window before he disappeared out of sight. The sound of wildly flapping wings caught her attention towards the door which exploded with Jet and Scout opening the door and slamming it shut. They panted loudly then saw their mother and beamed at her.
"We are ready for our lessons, mum!" Jet swished over to a chair and had a pencil ready in her mouth.
Scout sat beside her sister and looked around the room, "Where is daddy?"
"Scout, stop calling him that," Queen Chrysalis snapped.
Heavy knocks on the door distracted her.
Queen Chrysalis begrudgingly opened the door and saw a crossed Princess Celestia before her, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Princess?"
"Jet Sentinel urinated on one of my guards," Princess Celestia informed.
"Just 'one'?" Queen Chrysalis gibed.
Princess Celestia, mustering all of her self-restraint and composure, spoke, "That kind of behavior will not be tolerated."
"What are you going to do? Petrify her?" Queen Chrysalis chided.
Princess Celestia snorted, "If this happens again. . . I will allow Kyllgorr to kill you and those two grubs. You are on thin ice, Chrysalis. This is my last warning to you and them."
"Duly noted," Queen Chrysalis smiled before shutting the door. She heard Celestia leave. She turned to Jet with her peridot eyes ablaze.
Jet gulped loudly and had her ears splayed back.
Onyx sat on a cloud and sighed. He watched Canterlot slowly drift further away. He sat back with his arms behind him, propping him up. He watched the stars twinkle in the sky.
"Children," he thought, "children are precious." He sighed loudly and laid on back on the cloud. The wing flaps drawing near did not concern him.
"Hey, Onyx, what's up?" Rainbow Dash greeted when she landed beside him. She peered over him.
Onyx gazed into her sparkling fuchsia gems and smiled up at her, "The moonlight accentuates your beauty."
Rainbow Dash shied away from him, "Wh-what?"
Onyx sat up and watched her with curious eyes, "What are you doing here?"
"Just. . . happened to take a little night flight," Rainbow Dash shifted her hooves.
"How is it that every time I'm alone, you just 'happen' to be around? Are you stalking me?"
"Wha? Psssshh! Pffft!" she sputtered, "N-No!"
"So. . . Destiny keeps bringing us together?" his eyes twinkled jovially.
Rainbow Dash rubbed her leg with her opposite hoof, "Maybe?"
Onyx chuckled softly and laid back on the cloud with a sigh.
Rainbow Dash stepped closer to him, "You know, when I come out here at night to rest on a cloud, it's usually because something is on my mind." She sat next to him, "Do you want to talk about it?"
"No. . . but I do want to cuddle. And you look especially cuddly."
"I am not cuddly! I am a lean, mean, fast flying machine!" Rainbow Dash smirked.
Onyx rubbed his jaw, "I guess I can go down to Sugarcube Corner tomorrow and ask for hugs and cookies from Pinkie then." He laced his fingers behind his head and closed his eyes.
Rainbow Dash waged a war inside her troubled mind and heart. She knelt beside him and listened to his slow, deep breaths. She rested her head on his stomach and felt him move, "NO touching! And if you tell anypony I'll drop you into a volcano!"
Onyx grinned widely.
"And stop smiling."
Onyx laughed at her request, "Yes'm."
