Reunited, Lunar melody

Luna's Bedroom 15 minutes prior

Canterlot Castle was in complete chaos. The proud building had been attacked, its guards and defenses brushed aside like they were nothing but paper. And now the situation had gone from bad to worse, for now the very existence on Equestria hung in the balance swaying back and forth upon the edge of a knife. Yet there was one sole pony who could prevent this. But would she be able to get to the throne room in time?

Luna slept quietly, her chest slowly rising and falling in a rhythmic pattern, only ever being interrupted by a sudden twitch or when she would mumble something in her sleep. If one were to pear into her mind, they would see that she dreamt of nothing more then being held in the arms of the one she loved, enjoying the comfort of his embrace. Yet each dream she had like this, it always ended with her love disappearing, and unable to be found. Yet it was not this sadness that brought her crashing back to reality. The Midnight blue Alicorn woke to the sound of the castle panic alarm blasting away, for a moment she didn't react due to being half a sleep still. But once she had time to process what was going on she immediately jump into action. Jumping out of bed Luna quickly grabbed a night gown from her closet so that she would not be clad in only her bra and underwear, she burst out of her bedroom just as she slipped the garment on. Taking off down the right side hallway, she quickly started to search out the cause of the alarm, unsure of who or what she would find. The number of guards that were injured on incapacitated, was growing by the minute many were to concerned to care much that their Lunar regent ran past clad only in a nightgown and underwear, others were too busy to notice as their were receiving first aid from the castle medical staff.

Coming around the corner, Luna gasped and skidded to a halt. There before her were many of the castles royal guard detachment, all of them bruised, blood, and injured. Many had deep cuts and gash over their bodies, others were unconscious, though thankfully none dead to which Luna breathed a sigh of relief, but this did not stop her from continuing on. Picking up a discarded sword from the ground, She resumed her search now following the trail of damaged and bruised guards. Suddenly she stopped, but not because of what she saw, but because of what she felt. Magic, strange, powerful and very, very familiar.

"No, it can't be." She said in a stunned whisper, She slowly started forward again, the residual magical signature left behind growing the slightest bit strong with each step she took, while she pleaded in her mind to let it be who she hoped it was.

Coming before the ruined remains of the Atrium, She saw a littered field of carnage and yet, it was here that the magical signature was strongest. What she saw made her shed a few tears and place a hand over her mouth. Here lay close to forty guards and in various conditions. Many of them wore the alternating gold and purple colored armor of the Castles Elite guard. Moving on, wishing she could helped them but knew she had a potentially new villain to stop she was nearly to the other side of the ruined room when something caught her eye. It was a feather, but not just any old feather, it was one of her feathers. Reaching and picking it up she could easily tell it was old most likely centuries if not over a thousand years old. But who could have possibly ever acquired and of her feathers, there was only.... one pony whoever had her feathers.

“Oh, please mother let it be him, let it be my Werewolf.” Luna said in a pleading prayer like whisper. Quickly gathering her composure, she sped off towards the throne room, if it was him, if it were her Ulfric she had to find him before he did something disastrous something that would affect the whole nation. Forgetting about the sword she had taken she broke out into a full bore sprint racing down the corridors towards when she and her sister conducted court and led Equestria. There was a few times she had to cringe in pain from running over a few sharp bits of debris that cut into the soles of her feet.

“Please be my love, please be my love” she repeated before she heard something she had not heard since that night so long ago and not since her return. She heard Him more specifically she heard his voice. But it was what he said that shook her to her core.

“Speak you last words Celestia as they will be the last words anyone will ever here you say“ she heard her Love say, panicking she pushed her earth pony strength and speed to their limits. Sliding to a stop hers eyes widened and her jaw dropped at what she saw. The Elements, the first new friends she’d had since her banishment were each trapped in a cage of elemental magic, even the young dragon that dear Twilight, Spike was trapped in a cage of pure energy. And there, before all of them wearing a familiar suit of armor a cape as blue as her fur and a collar made up of her feathers, holding an equally familiar sword, was her beloved, yet he stood over Celestia, his sword ready to plunge into her chest and cleave her heart in two. Luna’s mind was in a state of shock, he was the human who had pledged his love for her, the man who treated her as a woman and a normal mare and not like a princess. Here he stood ready to commit an act of murder.

“Luna.” said a panicked voice to her telepathically .

“TIA!!” Luna cried out meeting her sisters pleading eyes, she could see the utter fear the older alicorn had.

“You must stop him, he won’t listen to us, it all up to you do something anything for my sake and yours.”

Luna’s mind raced, what could she do, what was there that she could do to stop Ulfric. Her train of thought ground to a halt, she knew what had to be done. Taking a deep breath and praying to her mother she started to sing a song only Ulfric knew.

“Come Little Children

I'll Take Thee Away, Into A Land

Of Enchantment

Come Little Children

The Time's Come To Play

Here In My Garden

Of Shadows

Follow Sweet Children

I'll Show Thee the Way

Through All The Pain And

The Sorrow

Weep Not Poor Children

For Life Is This Way

Murdering Beauty And

Passions”

She waited and watched for any hint of the song being recognized. Ulfric hesitated, before slowly lower his sword, letting it slip from his hand falling to the floor, where it bounced and clattered before laying still.

“There is only one woman, who knows that song, one woman who had a voice so beautiful.” he said before turning around slowly and removing his helmet. It too slipped out of his grasp falling to the floor,before he finally saw her, his Luna, his vampony, his queen of the night.

“Luna!” Ulfric said with shock, surprise and joy as his eyes started to slowly tear up. Luna unable to hold back her tears or joy rushed at Ulfric

“ULFRIC!” she yelled leaping straight at him with a powerful flap of her wings, tackling the human to the ground, wrapping her arms around his neck. Ulfric having been surprised by the sudden tackle hug from his love, wrapped one arm around Luna’s waist while using the other one to gently rub the back of her head as they both cried tears of overwhelming joy. Neither said a word as they cried on each other’s shoulder, for the two lovers of the night had now, at long last been reunited. They cried what felt to be an eternity, but was only a brief twenty five minutes, eventually Luna's tears stopped flowing and her sobbing became silent, then it was not to long that she was asleep nestled in the arms of the one she loved. Ulfric sat himself up so that he could better hold the one he cared so deeply for, yet at that moment a contingent of royal guard headed by the very same captain rushed into the throne room.

Though they were only a handful, the guards quickly formed around the seated human weapons pointed at him, whilst shouting all manner of warnings and demand to release the princess. A few even prepared to deliver killing blows, yet it was Celestia who stayed their hands.

"Captain Armor stand down, he....he is no threat anymore." She said having managed to get her feet beneath herself once more.

"B-but Princess you can't be serious have you seen what he's done to the castle guard, Half those that tried to stop him are still out cold and the others have filled the medical ward beyond capacity." Shining Armor retorted, trying to justify a reason to imprison Ulfric.

“Captain. stand. Down.” Celestia repeated this time with more authority, as she did not have the patience to make this into an argument.

“But-.“

“Shiny will you just listen and stop being so stubborn.” Twilight said butting into the argument. Seeing that he would not against both his ruler and his younger sister the battered Shining Armor motion for the guards to lower their weapons and to disperse. Seeing this Ulfric removed his left hand from the concealed Wolfsfang as he was ready to fight again should he need to. What he did next surprised them all even Shining Armor, gently laying the sleeping Luna on the floor, Ulfric stood before retrieving his Sword sheathing it as he unhooked his cape from his armor. Gently he lifted Luna into his arm and wrapped the soft fabric of the cape around her as if it were a blanket before hoisting her fully into his arms bridal style.

“Boy,” Ulfric said to Shining “take me to Luna’s quarters,now.”

Shining armor, was torn on what to do. On one hand he wanted to refuse this human and throw him into the darkest cell in the castle dungeons, while on the other he wanted to avoid further violence yet he couldn’t bring himself to a solution. Looking to Celestia, all he received was a glare that said do what he says. Sighing in defeat Shining finally responded.

"Very well, follow me" Shining said with a displeased sigh, turning on his heels and marching out of the throne room, with Ulfric carrying he sleeping love close behind him. leading him down a different path than the one he came by.

Luna’s bedroom

Stepping into the ornate room that Luna called her own, Ulfric was taken back a bit, by how similar the room looked to the one he and Luna shared at the Castle of the two sisters those many winters ago. Moving to the bed Ulfric gently laid Luna on it before pulling the sheets and blankets over her, yet before he could do anything else, the sleeping princess started to whimper in her sleep and her hands started to search on their own, desperately trying to find her human. Ulfric, giving into the longing that dwelled within his heart, and seeing his love wanting him to be close to her, began to remove his armor, first his gauntlet, followed by his breastplate and shoulder armor, leaving only his lower torso covered, so as to not make the guards who remained into thinking he would do something vile to their Luna regent. the last thing Ulfric removed was his sword and war axe, both were placed within arms reach of against the night stand that sat next to the bed.

"Leave us." Ulfric sat sitting down on the bed.

"If you think we're going to leave you alone with Princess Luna think again, buster." An earth Pony stallion replied, getting ready to defend Luna.

"That wasn't a request, it was an order." Ulfric said with a snarl before a quick cast of wind magic, and the three ponies who were present, were thrown out of the room and the door sealed shut with a few quickly cast locking spells. Not that he was finally alone with his Luna Ulfric lay down next to her, letting Luna's hand finally find what it was they were seeking. The instant her fingertips touched her love, Ulfric was quickly pulled into Luna, who wrapped her arms around his middle, nuzzling his toned abs and chest breathing a happy sigh. Eventually for the first time in days, Ulfric felt the pull of sleep, and he welcomed it letting his eyes grow heavy as he held his mare before finally slipping into slumber. At long last human and pony, Werewolf and Vampire were finally reunited.

Yet many things still remain unanswered, and their consequences will change the future of Equestria. For better or for Worse.
