Shining Armor
Crystal Empire

I walked down the many halls of the crystal palace towards ONE of the many training rooms. I passed some guards on the way there and saw that they saluted at me, some of them even said ‘my king’ or ‘Prince Shining’. That made me chuckle a bit. I saluted to the guards and continued on. As I was walking I went over the plan for the day, first, I give Cadence a lesson in basic magic, then train some of the new recruits of the guard, then get ready for Twilight and her friends, oh wait I mean Princess Twilight. I stopped at the thought, I’m now the prince of the Crystal Empire and Twilight is the Princess of Friendship, slowly our family is turning into royalty.

I rounded the corner and saw the door that I was heading to. I opened the door and walked in and saw Cadence standing in the middle of the room. She wore a tank top and yoga pants that hugged her curves really well, Her mane was tied in a ponytail. I bit my lip at the sight of her, thinking how lucky I am to marry her.

“Hey honey," She said to me. I smiled at her as I closed the doors.

“Hey, you look good,” I said to her. She rolled her eyes at me.

“Oh you mean this old thing, I just put it on since I didn’t want to get anything else dirty.” She told me. I saw her look up and down at me. “ You also looked good.”

I raised a brow at her as she got closer to me. She looked at me with bedroom eyes.

“You know you would look even better without them on~” She purred at me. And there it is.

“Caddy, you're not getting out of your magic lesson,” I told her bluntly. Her smiled melted into a pout as she backed off and crossed her arms.

“Oh come on really! How can you resist this!” She said as she gestured at herself.

“Because I married you, come on it’s just one simple teleport spell that’s all,” I told her. She looked away from me and continued to pout.

“I don’t see why I have to, I kept a protection dome around the Empire before, I don’t see why I have to learn more magic.,” She said. I sighed and looked at her.

“First off yes you did but I made the dome, you just kept it up and secondly you’re an alicorn, who are really good a magic, you don’t want to be known to be terrible at magic,” I told her. She grumbled a bit. I shook my head and came up behind her and wrapped my arms around her. “Tell you what, if you can pull a successful teleport then I can push training the recruits back a bit or give it to somepony else and we can have some, alone time with each other.”

She turned her head to argue but I gave her my own bedroom eyes. Whatever she was going to say died in her though as she bit her lip then looked away.

“Why did I teach you that.” She whined. I kissed her on the neck.

“Because you married me,” I told her. She giggled at that as I let go and went around her.

“Alright, teleporting is as simple as they come, all you have to do is imagine where you want to be and will your magic there,” I told her. She nodded and looked at the other side of the room. She closed her eyes and began to cast it. I saw her horn lit up. She grunted as the horn became a bit brighter.

“Come on, come on!” She repeated. After a bit, her eyes snapped opened and I saw that her eyes were white and then there was a big flash of light. I covered my eyes at it, I moved it as the flash dimmed. I didn’t see Cadence.

“Caddy?” I said as I looked around. She wasn’t in the room, I went out of the room and looked around, again she wasn’t there. I cast a spell to see if she was in the palace, she wasn’t.

“CADENCE!”

On earth.

I looked up the building where Pax east is being held. I shifted from foot to foot as I looked up at it. It wasn’t that I felt nervous about it oh no, I been to many conventions before, it just that the word Pax just rubbed me the wrong way. Mostly it went with Pax prime, the same convention that my older brother disappeared at. I shook my head a bit, ‘No need to be a downer, this should be fun! This is fun!’ I thought at myself.

“Hey, Rose! What are you standing here for, your missing the convention,” I heard my friend said. She was wearing an Ashe costume from the game League of Legends, best game by the way. She even got a light up crystal bow which was cool.

“Sorry Mary, just have a lot on my mind,” I told her. She frowned and looked up at the building.

“It’s about your brother Nick?” She asked me. I looked down and nodded. Ever since our parents died Nick was there for me, even if we stayed with our uncle we were together.

“Ever since he disappeared five years ago… it’s just hard without him.” I told her. I felt two hands on my shoulders and I looked at her.

“Rose Smith, you need to stop with all this sad stuff, we’re at Pax east! This should be fun I don’t think your brother wants you to be sad.” She told me. I blinked at her and stepped away from her. I slapped both hands on my cheeks and looked at her with a happy smile.

“Yeah! I need to be happy, this is Pax this should be awesome,” I said cheerfully.

“It will be awesome,” She said to me. She looked at me for a minute. “Isn’t that the new champ that came out some time ago?” I nodded and spun around for her.

“Yup! I’m Taliyah the Stoneweaver!” I said to her. She just shook her head at me.

“As soon as she hit the PBE you fell in love with her,” She said with a chuckle. I scowled at her.

“Hey, she’s awesome!” I retorted at her.

“You just want to bang her don’t you,” She quickly said. I felt my face warm up.

“M-Mary!” I yelled at her. She just started laughing at me as I blushed.

“You’re so easy to tease, hey didn’t she have a headpiece or something,Me,” She asked. I stiffened a bit.

“Umm yeah…”

“Then where’s yours?” Mary asked. I looked away from her.

“It umm… broke.” I told her.

“You dropped it didn’t you.”

“No!... Maybe,” I said. She just sighed.

“Oh well, now come on let’s get in there!” She said as she ran into the building. I ran after her with a smile on my face.

I been to many cons before but I can’t get over the feeling of being here. The people, the costumes, everything, Man this is the best. Me and Mary went around there, got our pictures taken, having a great time. We also went by some stalls to see what they have. I picked up some goggles from the Jak and Daxter games and a dark red scarf. As we moved on Mary split off from me to find a bathroom as I walked around. I passed some more stalls until I stopped at one that felt off. I saw it selling some cool stuff but nothing caught my eye. I saw about to leave when I saw the man who looked creepy. He wore a black trench coat with a hood up. He wore a dark purple scarf over his mouth and he was hunched over.

“Welcome, want to buy something?” He rasped. I got a very bad feeling from this guy.

“Umm no thanks, just looking,” I told him. He just tilted his head.

“Are you sure, I have some nice weapons, some nice trinkets, and-”

“No thank you, sir, I’m not buying,” I told him, I turned to walk away.

“How about, information.” I stop walking at that. What.

“What do you mean?” I turned and asked him. He chuckled.

“Your brother, he disappeared a few years ago yes, well I just so happen to know how that happened, I might know the place where he's at,” he told me. I bit my thumbnail, this can't be real, this has to be a trick someone is messing with me. But what if he's not joking.

“Please, please tell me what you know,” I told him.

“Are you sure?” He asked me.

“Yes, so please I want to find him, to see him again.” I pleaded with him.

“Just to let you know that he might not look the same,” he told me. I,smack the table with both hands.

“I don't care! Just tell me where he is!” I yelled at him.

“Alright but it will cost you, twenty dollars,” He said to me. I fished out a twenty and handed it to him. And cupped my hands. “Thank you for your time and have a fun trip.”

I frowned at him until I felt something in my hand. I looked at it and saw the headpiece for my costume . I looked up and started to feel cold.

“Wait!!!" I reach out to grab him but everything went to white. When I could see again I was standing in the middle of a frozen wasteland. I looked around to see nothing but white snow.

“WHERE THE HELL AM I!!!!!!!"

Cadence

I sat with my back to the wall of the cave as I rubbed my arms to keep me warm. I used some magic to warm me up a bit as I sat here. I must have put in too much power into that teleport, luckily I found this cave, unluckily I didn't find any wood.

“Ugh this is stupid, why can't I do a simple teleport, I seen Twilight do it with ease so why is it so hard for me!” I complained. I looked at the rock wall that I was staring at for I think an hour, I sighed at myself.

“Calm down Caddy, you have to stay calm. Shining is probably getting search parties looking for me, all you have to do is sit here and wait,” I said to myself. I calmed myself down to hear what's going on outside.

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

I heard something outside of the cave. I watched the cave entrance for a bit, thinking that it was a snow rabbit or something.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

They were getting closer, I began to panic. Was I in a den of a snow wolf or any other of the predators that lived in the frozen north. I began to charge my horn for a magic bolt. I watched as a shadow became visible at the entrance, I watched as it got closer then I saw a hand, it was furless and small. When I saw the hand I then saw the rest of it. I closed my eyes and fired the shot. I heard a yelp for that direction. After a minute, I opened my eyes to see what happened.

“The hell! I was just checking to see, if there anyone her!” the creature yelled out. I saw its face. It had no fur, some spots on her face and brown eyes. Her mane was short and also brown. She wore a long red coat like thing with two long strips by her arms that end with some kind of stone, underneath was a dark blue long shirt with brown engravings dark brown pants. She stared at me for a moment as I did the same with her. It only lasted about a minute.

“AHHHHHH, TALKING MONSTER!!!”

“AHHHHHH TALKING PINK HORSE!!!”

Rose

All I heard was both of us screaming, she was screaming because she probably scared out of her mind while I was screaming because she was screaming, I did my freak out screaming alright. It took a bit but we stopped screaming, her freak out was far from over.

“Please don't eat me! I may look good but I don't taste as good!” she yelled at me. I just stood there staring at her.

“I uhh I'm not going to eat you,” I told her. She looked at me with a surprised look.

“You're… not going to eat me?” she asked me. I frownedat that.

“Of course not, I may eat many things but a horse isn't one of them,” I told her. I saw her relax a bit but still looked at me nervously, I didn't blame her. I went to one of the walls and sat down. It felt oddly warm.

“So, what are you?” she asked me.

“I'm something called a human,” I told her. She tilted her head a bit.

“Hue-man? I'm sorry but I don't know anything that's called a hue-man.” she said to me. I chuckled at her and moved my hand a bit. I saw a few pebbles move without me touching them.

“So what's your name?” I asked her.

"My name is Mi Amore Cadenza, Princess of Love but it's better if you call me Candace, it's easier to say,” she told me. I snorted at the Princess of Love part. She eyed me for that.

“Sorry, sorry it's just that the title Princess of Love is a bit stupid if you ask me," I said to her. She just sighed.

“Well it kinda does, but it's better than the full name.” She muttered the last part but I heard it which got me curious.

“What’s the full name then?” I asked her. She looked at me with wide eyes.

“It’s… it’s better if you didn’t know,” She said with a blush. Okay, I’m more curious now.

“Come on it can’t be that bad, how about this if you tell me what the full name is then I will answer anything you ask, deal?” I offered. She looked at me for a moment then muttered something under her breath. “Uhh care to repeat that.”

She muttered a bit louder but I still couldn’t hear.

“One more time,” I asked her. She groaned loudly.

“Oh for Celestia’s sakes, it’s Love and Sex! I’m the bucking Princess of Sex, happy!” She yelled at me and pulled her knees up and curled into a ball. I stared at her for a bit and shifted a bit. Well, this is awkward.

“Umm, hey it’s not that bad, it’s kinda cool,” I said. I should have facepalmed at that, it was terrible.

“Kinda cool, no it isn’t. How do you like it when every day you get mountains of letters from your subjects that are just them declaring their love to you or asking you to have sex, I’m now married and I still get letters!” She fumed as she folded her arms in front of her.

“So, you don’t like sex?” I asked her. She just stared at me and gave me a ‘are you stupid’ look.

“Of course, I love sex, I'm the Princess of sex and love,” She said and looked away. She then looked back at me and pointed at me. “This conversion doesn’t leave this cave got it.”

“Got it, so you answered my question I can answer yours.” I told her. She looked at me for a bit as if she's thinking of a question.

“Well since you said that you are a hue-man…”

“Human.” I corrected her.

“Right, I'm guessing you're not around here, my question is why are you here?” Cadence asked. I stared at her for a moment then at the wall. Why did I come here? I was at the con with my friend then I met that creepy guy and… oh yeah.

“Well I wasn’t really planning on it, I didn’t even know that this place is real until some time ago,” I said. I told her what happened to me when I was at the con. She listened to me for the whole thing.

“So you were looking for your brother,” She said. I nodded at her, I looked at the wall across from me and pulled my knees up and hugged them.

“Why, why is it so bad for me to try to find him, he’s my brother and I want to see him is that so much to ask.” I closed my eyes as I felt tears coming from my eyes. I buried my face into my knees. After a few moments, I felt arms and a body wrap around me. I looked up and I saw pink.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that,” Cadence said. I wiped some of the tears away and started to laugh.

“You know, if he was here he would probably say to stop crying and see what the situation is looking like, well it looks weird,” I told her. We started to laugh for a bit after that. She stopped and looked around and frowned.

“When I first got here it was really cold but now it’s warm.” She stated. I looked at the wall and put my hand on it, it was warm.

“Uhh I think that’s me,” I said to her. She stared at me and I started to explain. “I don’t know the details but it seems that I can control the earth, like an earth mage.”

“It’s true that there are ponies that can use magic to move the ground but never heat it up, well I didn’t know of it,” Cadence said. I looked at her then out of the cave and stood up.

“I think we should leave, I prefer if we get you back home.” I told her. I walked out of the cave and looked around. Now that I'm here… where am I going?

“Do you even know where you’re going?” I heard Cadence asked. I shook my head.

“Nope! I have no idea of where we are.” I told her. I turned to see her flapping her wings, wait she has wings. How did I not notice?

“Well there’s one thing we can do,” she said as she got closer. I took a few steps back.

“What are you doing?” I asked her. She blinked at me.

“Well, we need to see where we are so I was going to grab you and fly up and…” I cut her off by putting my arms up into an ‘X’.

“NOPE! Not doing it, no way no,” I said. She just stared at me.

“Something wrong?” She asked me.

“I hate flying, never liked it,” I told her. She looked at me weirdly and shifted my weight a bit. “Ok that was mean, it’s not I don’t like flying it’s more that I, um…”

“You’re scared of flying,” She said to me. I nodded and started to rub my arms.

“I never understand why everyone likes flying, it’s terrifying just the thought of being in the sky hundred of feet off the ground.” I shivered at the thought, “If you want to go up and look around go ahead, I’m happy to be on the ground thank you.”

She nodded and shot into the air. I looked up to see only a small pink dot in the sky. So yeah, I have a fear of heights and flying. It’s totally normal to have fears but for me and flying, I kinda turn into a big baby if I get on a plane. I stood there waiting to see when Cadence to get back when I heard something behind me. I turned and saw something moving in the snow, I backed away as it got closer. As it did I looked around to see if I had anything to us to hit it with but there was nothing. I watched it get closer and then come up from the snow. It was small, fuzzy and white with two horns. It looked at me and stuck out its long tongue and pant like a dog. My worry turned into giddy little girl levels of happy.

“It’s a Poro!!!” I yelled and went to hug it. The poro didn’t run off and as I hugged it the poro starting to like my face. “Oh I wanted to see one up close, you’re so fluffy and cute and… well, Fluffy!”

I heard a thud behind me and I turned to see Cadence looking at me with a smile.

“I know the feeling when you see one,” she said. I put the poro down and stood up.

“So anything?” I asked her. She nodded and pointed in a direction.

“I saw what looked like train tracks over in they direction, it will take some time by walking but if find them then we can walk all the way to the empire,” She said. She then looked at me and frowned. “You know I told you my name but you didn’t say what yours were.”

I blinked at her, she was right I didn’t tell her my name. I thought about it, I’m not me anymore, well I got my memories and fears and likes but I don’t look like me and I’m sure that I didn’t have earth powers. I look like the character that I dressed up as, so I think I’m what I dressed up as? As I thought about it I got a good idea.

“You can call me Taliyah I have a good idea.”

“This is a bad idea!!!” Cadence yelled as we rocketed over the snow on a stone surfboard. Making the surfboard that didn’t crumble took some time and making it work was another issue but after that, it was easy since I spent a good chunk of my life learning how to skateboard. It’s basically the same thing only one is a piece of stone and moving much faster than a skateboard, eh tomatoes tomotoes. I used the goggles and red scarf that I got from the con as protection from the snow, also, it made me look cool.

I looked at my side and saw one of my robe arms fans out and waving in the wind. I smiled at that as I remembered Taliyah lore, the desert sparrow, cool name.

It took us a few minutes until we got to the train tracks. When we stopped Cadence hopped off and kneel down in the snow and took some breaths.

“Hey, it wasn’t that bad,” I told her. She glared at me.

“I thought we were going to die on that thing,” She replied. I frowned at her.

“I feel so trusted right now,”

“Sorry, just got scared there,” Cadence said. She stood up and looked at the tracks then look to her right. “If we head in this direction we should get to the empire with ease.”

“Well then, hop on Princess,” I told her. She looked at me and at the stone board and sighed and got on. She then wraps her arms around me as held on tight. I don’t know why but I felt really warm.

“You ok?” She asked. I blinked and nodded.

“I-I’m fine, now hang on,” I said as I willed the earth to move and we were off. We were going for some time until the board started to bump around a bit. I felt Cadence rub against me as we did. My face became really red as her breasts rubbed on her back. I bit my lip as she squeezed tighter. Ummm..

“Sorry, I felt I was going to fall.” She said in my ear. That warm feeling turned into a hot feeling. Ummmm...

“I-I-I-I-It’s fine, just don’t hold me so tig-” I got cut off as we hit a bump. Cadence gave me an iron lock hug and moved up. I should mention that she was taller than me by a good few inches, I was 5’6 and she was around the six-foot mark. Now I have my head between her breasts and they felt warm. My head went fuzzy.

“Taliyah, are you okaaaaAHHHHH!” She yelled as we sped up. I don’t what was going on but my body felt warm and bothered and I didn’t know what the hell is going on. We were probably going highway speeds but I didn’t know since I was trying to figure out what was going on with my body. I think I heard the ground change sounds to one of breaking glass, and kept going until I was launched off the board right into a wall that broke on impact. Luckily I didn’t get hurt as I landed on the floor and was on my back breathing heavily. My body felt like it was on fire and bothered and my mind was all fuzzy. I saw Cadence looked at me with worry, she looked so beautiful and looked like a goddess. I want to stand by her for the rest of my and most of all, as Mary like to say, want to bang her so hard. Then I felt my vision fade.

I woke up in a bed that was very comfy. I sat up and looked around and saw that I was in some sort of hospital room. I moved out of the bed and saw that I was in some sort of pink gown and my clothes that I came with were folded on a table. I went to put them and as I finished I heard a door open. I looked and saw that it was Cadence and another horse, no wait its pony, the pony had white fur and dark blue hair with light blue stripes. Cadence let out a sigh of relief.

“Thank Celestia’s sun that you're alright,” She said. I looked at her trying to figure out what happened but it was a blur.

“Uhh, what happened?” I asked her. She sat down on a chair and started to fidget. The blue haired is it hair or mane, pony started to speak.

“Well I don’t know what happened outside of the empire but you two rocketed into the place and tore up one of the streets and a building's wall. When I got there I saw you trying to madly kiss my wife” He told me. I blinked at him, I was? Wait, this guy is married to Cadence?

“I did? I don’t remember much, all I remembered that we were on the stone board then I felt all fuzzy and warm as you held on to me than nothing.” I told them.

“I, uhh, know what happened,” Cadence spoke up. I and the other guy looked at her. “You remembered back at the cave, about my Full title.”

“Yeah, and I promise that it will stay there,” I told her.

“Well you see there’s are things that I can do things to others that I kinda can’t control all that well,” She said. I frowned at her.

“What things?” I asked. She again shifted and didn’t looked at me.

“She can make other ponies… well turned on.” The guy said. I looked at him and at her and put two and two together.

“You made me horny?” I asked her. She put her face into her hands.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.” She apologizes to me. I shifted a bit and shrugged.

“It’s no big deal, things happen and things didn’t go overboard and it’s fine since it wore off,” I said to her. She looked at me and looked away, I frowned at her. “It did wear off, right.”

“Kind of,” She said. I looked at the blue haired guy.

“Translation,” I asked.

“When Caddy does that to anypony else they are away from her, the closest to her was about ten feet from her but you were right up to her for most of the time and it affected you, when you were out of it, she went and draw that desire out of you and it worked but something weird happened, there was a spark that happened and well it knocked both of you out.” He said. I blinked at him.

“So… what happened to me?” I asked him. He just shrugged.

“I don’t know, this never happened before.” He answered. I nodded and looked at Cadence.

“Hey don’t be so down, stuff happens and whatever you did I’ll live through it so no hard feelings.” I told her. She looked at me with a sad smile and hugged me. After that, I looked at the other guy. “So who are you?”

“Shining Armor, Prince of the Crystal Empire and husband to Princess Cadence.” He told me. One thing struck me as odd.

“Do you have to say that you’re Cadence’s husband?” I asked him. There were a few moments of silence.

“...Yes.” he deadpanned.

After talking for some time the three of us headed to their palace. On the way, I saw what happened to the street that I came in from. The ground looked like, it exploded outwards. Whoops.

After a few minutes, we arrived at the palace and man it was big. We went into the place and me and Cadence when to have some tea. Shining went off to do something. It seems that his little sister and her friends are coming over for something.

Me and Cadence got to a sitting room that had tea there. We sat and Cadence began to tell me more about this place know as Equestria. The main race is the ponies that split into three groups. One is the Unicorns who has the power to use magic, they also have the ability to control the elements as well. Then there is the pegasus that have wings to fly and control the weather, they are also known for tinkering with machines. And finally, the earth ponies who are known to have great strength and endurance and are connected to the earth. Some say a few can match a unicorn ability to move the earth, maybe even better.

Then finally there's the alicorns, who are all three races rolled into one and basically gods here. So far there's only four in the world and Cadence is one of them. The other three are her aunts who are the alicorns of the Sun and Moon in which they can move them, which I call bull on dice the Sun is a big ball of fire and the moon is a big rock. The last one is her sister in law since Cadence married her brother, she was also the alicorn of magic and friendship. I had to hold off laughing at that. It also seems that I'll be meeting her later today. There are other races out there such as Griffins, Minotaurs, etc.

We were talking about stories and one of them was about the time that her wedding was invaded by a race of bug ponies known as Changelings. I listened to her until my nose twitched.

“ACHOO!!!” I sneezed. I blinked a couple times at that. Where did that come from?

“You ok?" Cadence asked me. I sniffled and rubbed my nose.

“Yeah I'm fine, I think someone is talking about me, I hope it's nothing bad," I said. I picked up the tea and took a sip of it. I took a bit of a muffin and gave some to the poro that was sitting on my lap. Oh yeah forgot to say that, it seems that the poro that I found came with us as me and Cadence came from the middle of nowhere, I named him Mr. Nibbles.

"So, changelings invade your wedding,” I said. We continue talking for some time until one of the maids came and said that her sister in law and friends are here.

“Well they are early, but knowing Twilight it's a given. Want to come and met them?” Cadence asked me.

“Sure” I replied.
