Lunas bedroom twenty four hours after being reunited

Within the confines of Luna’s bedroom two individuals peacefully slept together each, of them holding the other in their arms. Both of them barely moved as they slumbered, only doing so to better their grip on each other. Luna slept with a peaceful smile, having both her arms and a leg wrapped around Ulfric who simply held the mare he loved in his arms. Slowly Ulfric stirred, his eyes lazily opening taking in the sight of Luna cuddled up to his side, seeing brought the first smile to his face in a long time. With one hand he gingerly ran it through Luna’s azure mane. Ulfric had to admit, he liked it when her mane was like just as much as head liked her manes ethereal state. Eventually Luna began to wake, first muttering something inaudible, her eyes fluttered open, and there she saw the one she loved dearly his arm around her and running his hand through her mane.

“Ulfric?” She asked timidly “Is...is it really you”

“It is my love” Ulfric said now wrapping both around Luna and hugging her to his chest. “I have waited so many winters to hold you, to gaze upon.”

“Can..can I do something I have waited just as long to do to you?” Luna asked quietly and hesitantly.

“My sweet lady of the Night you don’t need to ask if you want to do what ever it is you wish to do, then please my love do it” Ulfric said reassuringly, hearing his words, Luna didn’t have to ask twice, as she pulled herself up onto Ulfric so that she was laying on his chest. Closing her eyes the lunar alicorn softly pressed her lips against Ulfrics in a long awaited kiss. Both lovers moaned quietly as they kissed, before the need for air drove them apart. With a happy sigh Luna rested her head on Ulfrics chest listening to the rhythmic beating of his heart, knowing it was filled with unquestionable love for her, yet something clawed at the back of her mind, what was bothering her, was the desire to know why the human she loved, had been gone for so long, and why now was he returning. Better yet why did he try to murder Celestia, and why did he harbor such anger and resentment towards her.

“Um, Ulfric I must ask you something, why...why did you well try to kill Tia?”Luna asked, with concern and worry. Ulfric at the mere mention of Celestia gave a short wolffish growl, this made it somewhat clear that something had happened between Ulfric and Celestia in the past, something that he still carried bitter scorn about.

“That is a story that will require both of us to tell as there are always two sides to everything, then you will know why I despise your bitch of a sisters existence” Ulfric said m, his voice dripping with hate and venom.

“Oh, okay but for now can we just.... lay here and hold each other, I’ve been so long with out your touch your scent or your voice and I don’t want to be apart from you ever again, my big puppy” Luna said with a small giggle, to which Ulfric gave a hearty laugh at being called the old nickname Luna had given when she had learned that he was a Werewolf.

“Anything for you my little moon bat” Ulfric said, while still laughing a bit, and nuzzling Luna’s cheek. Luna smile at the remark before snuggling up more to Ulfric and sighing happily.

Two hours later

After two hours of holding each and enjoying the presence of the other Ulfric decided it was finally the right time for Luna to learn of why he was gone for so many winters and why he held so much anger and hate for Celestia. Instead of simply telling Luna right then and there he had elected to tell the story of his disappearance with Celestia present in the same room, at the same table, with the Elements present, and the unicorn guard captain who had colored him impressed. Upon hearing this Luna was shocked and somewhat concerned that Ulfric would even want to sit in the same room with somepony he hated so much, Ulfrics response was a bit comical, he simply stated that despite the fact he hated Celestia with every fiber of his soul and body, that there was no reason they could not discuss this in a civilized manner. After each of the two lovers took a moment to themselves to look presentable, both stood before the magically locked door as Ulfric removes the spells he had casted to make sure they were not disturbed.

“Ulfric, why was the door magically sealed?” Luna asked curiously having adorned herself in her regalia and a sparkling black sleeveless dress, that hugged her body quite nicely.

“I did not wish for us to be disturbed while I was with you my love” Ulfric replied, shifting in his armor somewhat nervously.

“Oh Ulfric even after a thousand years of being apart you still treat me like a normal mare” Luna said with a giggle giving Ulfric a quick kiss on the cheek, this earned a hearty chuckle from the human. Offering his hand, Luna did not have to even think about answering, instead she took hold of it entwining her fingers with Ulfrics. With confidence in each other, Luna opened the door. And what to their bewilderment did they see, but a contingent of both Solar and Lunar guards, all of whom who looked prepared to go to war. Yet upon seeing that Luna was unharmed their stance and body language visibly relaxed but, waryily they still held their weapons at the ready.

“Princess Luna, thank the moon your safe... we, we thought the worst had happened to you while your were trapped in your own room” a Thestral mare said as she stepped forward removing her helmet. “We thought well most of us thought that he, was doing unspeakable things to you”

“Oh lieutenant Star Blossom, your concerns and fears are well appreciated, Ulfric is no threat to me, nor has he ever been” Luna said giving Ulfrics hand a gentle squeeze.

“B-but did you not see what he did in his attack on the castle and the casualties he left, he should be locked in chains and placed in the darkest cell in the castle dungeons” Star Blossom retorted, a hint of anger creeping into her voice.

“Yes, I bore witness to it, but you still have nothing to fear, for the stallion I Love would never bring harm to me, and I know this from the bottom of my heart” Luna said with a happy smile that earned a chuckle from Ulfric.

“Please, lieutenant walk with us and I shall explain why my love is not a threat to me or Equestria” Luna said, while Star Blossom and the other guards followed close behind. As pony and human walked hand in hand, Luna took this time to explain Ulfrics origins to the guards, going into great detail his arrival to their world, His first encounter with pony kind, and the great many deeds he committed all in service to Luna and Celestia’smother Queen Faust. Many of the guards were in a state of bewilderment, to have someone who was considered a legend and perhaps one of the most famed knights of ancient Equestria, yet one question lingered within their minds as it did with Luna’s, why did he leave where did he go and most importantly why did he try to kill Celestia.

However their thought process was interrupted as they had come before the doors of the castle dining room, The tension ran thick through as the guards were nervous as to how Ulfric would take to sitting at the same table with the mare he so heavily despised. Slowly the doors opened, inside at a singular table sat, Celestia, the Elements, Spike and the very same unicorn guard captain who gave he a good fight and a....pink Alicorn? Ulfric was surprised by this, while he had known of princess Cadence thanks to the magic mirror from Faust he never thought he would actually meet the supposed Princess of Love, though the look in her eyes gave away the hint of fear she was trying to so desperately hide.

Entering the large room, both Luna and Ulfric took up seats on the side opposite of Celestia and the others, with Ulfric ever a bit of a gentlemen seating his love before he himself took his seat, and placing his helmet on the lavish table before him.

“Luna” Celestia said breaking the tense silence. “Thank you for joining us and thank you for bringing Ulfric with you”

“No thank you Tia, cause now I get to learn what has driven a wedge between the two ponies I care most about” Luna said with a chipper smile.

“Yes, about that, before we dive into details I thought we could have a light meal to better help set the mood and maybe have Shining Armor and Cadence here get to better know Ulfric” Celestia said with a meek tone of voice, which Luna was quick to pick up on but did not comment on it. Instead Luna simply stole a glance at the menu that sat before her, ordering a simple salad, while Ulfric simply stared at his with a look of disproval.

“Something wrong my love?” Luna asked with concern.

“Where’s the meat?” Was all Ulfric said in reply earning many a gasp from those at the table save for one solar Alicorn.

"Um not ta be rude but did ah hear correctly when ye asked where the meat wer?" Applejack asked, hoping that she like the rest of here friends had heard correctly that the human before them was in fact asking for meat.

"You have heard correct, dame Applejack my Ufric did indeed ask where the meat was, but do not be alarmed many of the races of his world eat meat as it is a necessary part of their diet, since they are what we call omnivorous, which if I remember correctly Tia, this is where they eat both plants and meat yes?" Luna said, looking to her sister who nodded in confirmation, before the solar Alicorn motioned for some meat to brought out for Ulfric. With their food order many a call for various beverages were called out, yes for Celestia lemonades and sodas for Rarity, Twilight and Spike, Fluttershy and Pinkie settled on juice, and predicably for Applejack and Rainbow it was cider. Luna simply ordered what was referred to as the usual. Ulfric, was rather simple in his choice, asking for a tankard of the strongest ale or mead the castle kitchen staff had available. Within a short timespan of twenty minutes, the food was delivered most simply dug in eating in an awkward silence, eventually it was none other the Shining Armor who broke the silence.

“Okay can we address the elephant in the room that is the freaking ape monkey thing that single handedly cut through the royal guard like it was nothing and is now eating with us” He said making air quotes as he said it to make his point.

“I am a human not an ape, boy” Ulfric said taking a sip from his tankard. “Perhaps you should also learn to respect someone whose efforts helped to form this kingdom into what it is now, in a time before any of you were born”

“Ulfric my love, let me handle this I know your still on a short fuse” Luna said reaching over to gently squeeze his hand, which is turn made Ulfric relax a small bit. “Sister I believe you said this was to explain the bitter feelings between you and Ulfric and seeing as how there is already a great deal of tension in the air why don’t you begin this story”

Celestia sighed dipping her head for a moment before looking at Luna with a sad and worried expression, she knew that now, there was no turning back what happened within the next timespan could determine the future of their relationship as siblings and the future of Equestria.

"Alright Luna but, you have to promise me that you'll keep and open mind and try to understand what I am about to divulge to you, promise?" Celestia said looking Luna straight in eye.

"I promise Tia" Luna said with a small smile, siting back in her chair. "please, begin"

“Very well Luna, it began mere moments after you were sealed in the moon” Celestia said as she began to weave her story, explains how Ulfric had rushed into the old throne room just as Luna/Nightmare Moon was imprisoned within the moon. She told how he feel to he knees and howled in grief, before his grief turned to rage and hate. Celestia pulled back her dress to show Luna were WolfsFang had bitten into her fur and flesh, even today she could still the cold of its bite.

“I still remember the things Ulfric said to me as we fought, selfish white bitch love hungry whore, even things I still cannot find the stomach to repeat” Celestia said a tear sliding down her cheek. “I was by pure luck that the moment Ulfric was about to deliver a killing blow a piece of stone work fell from the damaged ceiling and struck him unconscious”

“This is where I take over” Ulfric said as he began to recount how he was imprisoned and then later entombed in the northern mountains, where he focused all of his anger, his hate and his list for revenge for a thousand years a plan that would have come full circle if not for the intervention of Luna, who by the miracle of a simple song had stayed Ulfrics blade.

“And now here we are and now you know why I was not there when you returned my Luna” Ulfric said as he held Luna’s hand in his, the blue Alicorn was silent her head lowered as she appeared to be trying to process everything she had just learned. Everyone was quiet and still, even Twilight the ever inquisitive mare who hand been hurriedly scribbling down on a notepad had stopped, to the point her quill had slipped from her hand and now rested on the dinning table. It was then Luna finally spoke

“Are... you BUCKING SERIOUS, YOU CHOSE TO IMRPISON ULFRIC JUST AS YOU DID ME” Luna yelled in the Royal Canterlot voice. "ALL BECUASE YOU SIMPLY WANTED TO HAVE ALL THE LOVE AND AFFECTION OF OUR SUBJECTS AND WHEN IT CAME FULL CIRCLE YOU'D RESORT TO THE SAME BULLSHIT YOU USED ON YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD"

Celestia recoiled at the sudden terrifying outburst of Luna, in fact she was shacking in her chair, yet Luna her eyes now glowed a bright white while she held an expression of pure hate on her face. With one quick movement Luna was out of her chair and in front of Celestia.

"STAND. UP" Luna said

"W-what?" Celestia stuttered out now truly afraid

"STAND. UP" Luna restated this time her horn flared and the chair Celestia was seated ceased to exist and the solar princess fell on to her butt with a small eep. Deciding that it was best to do as Luna said Celestia shakily stood to her feed, ready to face her sisters judgement.

"L-una please your must und"

SMACK, the room fell silent and the elements gasped in shock and disbelief Luna, the ruler of the night had just slapped her sister across her muzzle in anger.

"y-you just hit me" Celestia said in disbelief
Smack another slap to the face.

"THAT IS FOR LYING TO ME AND FOR IMPRISONING MY ULFRIC" Luna shouted, yet she seemed to calm quickly and the light fading from her eyes as they returned to her normal coloring, before she surprisingly to Celestia in a tight hug. "and that is for telling me the truth Tia, just please be more honest nest kay"

Celestia stifled a giggle as she rubbed her sore cheek returning the hug, and giving her sister a nod of understanding and agreement. How quickly anger and resentment can turn to love and forgiveness, Shaking his head is disbelief Ulfric muttered something in High Elvish, not that anyone knew what he was saying. However it was at this moment that Cadence ever the princess of love chose to drop the question on a subject she was most eager to learn of.

"So auntie Luna, how did you and Ulfric meet" The pink bubblegum princess asked, with an innocent smile. Luna giggled before replying.

"Oh so the love princess wants a story huh? well I suppose I can sate your appetite for romance" Luna said, oh was Cadence ever in for the literal story of the century.
