A Burning and Loving Reunion

After an hour of spending time with her son, Princess Celestia decided to head back to her castle with Luna behind her. Twilight went back to Ponyville to finish up some of her work in the library. Princess Celestia was sitting on her throne still thinking about her son. She then had a faint memory of her husband and decides to write a note to him since she still kept in contact with him even after she left the old kingdom.

"To Royal Blaze

If you're not too busy, I want you to come over here to Canterlot and bring everypony who's extremely close to Eternal Flames. He's in the Canterlot Hospital recovering from a nasty fight with timberwolves. He needs all the love and support he can get. I haven't told him that I'm his mother because I want it to be a surprise. So if you can drop on by, I'd really appreciate it dearly.

Thank you

Princess Celestia"

With that, Princess Celestia sends her note to her husband.

Many many miles in the far outskirts to the west of Equestria sits an enormus mountain called Rogue Mountain. At the very top of the mountain sits a palace with 50 rooms: 15 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, 5 dining rooms, 5 kitchens, 3 living rooms, a training room, and at the very top sits the Rogue Counseling Room. Outside, standing on top of the palace roof is an orange stallion with a red mane that was longer than Eternal Flames', he had blue sapphire eyes like Eternal and a cutie mark that displayed a yellow crown inside of a burning flame. Reaching the front and back of his eyes were his scar-like birthmarks.

As he stood above the palace, his oldest son, Blue Blaze, who had became an alicorn and had his corination just yesterday, was about to become the new king of Rogue Mountain. He had white fur and sapphire eyes like his father. He was 2 inches shorter than his father but 2 inches bigger than Eternal. His cutie mark displayed three small flames colored in blue. He had the same birthmark as his father, but it was in the front of his eyes. He had a mane that matched his eye color.

"It looks like another beautiful day, isn't it, father?" Blue Blaze says with a sincere smile. Royal Blaze looks down at his son with a smile of his own and a simple nod.

"You've grown so much, my son. Now your time has come to take your rightful place. I just wish your mother could be here to see this." Royal Blaze replies.

"I know dad, but even she has a responsability that she cannot ignore. So I fully understand the circumstances." Blue Blaze says with a smile with his eyes closed. It wasn't long until Heat Wave showed up and surprised Blue Blaze with a big bro hug. Heat Wave was the youngest of the 3 brothers, he had a light yellow fur coat, orange mane and eyes that were the same color as Princess Celestia's. He also had the scar-like birthmarks like his brothers and his dad, but it was above his eyes. His cutie mark was a burning flame that looked like it was moving at blazing speed.

"Congradulations, big guy! I bet you're pretty excited with becoming king! I wish Eternal could see this. He'd be so STOKED!!!" He says in excitement and joy. Blue Blaze gave a slight chuckle and hugged him back.

"Thanks bro, it means a lot to me. Why don't you go get Shadow Force, he's free to take a break from his work." Blue Blaze says.

"You got it!" Heat Wave replies sprinting inside the palace. Blue Blaze and his father start chuckling as they see him sprinting off.

"At times like these, I'm glad to see that you and your brothers have grown up so well." Royal Blaze says proudly.

Heat Wave is searching the palace from top to bottom trying to find Shadow Force. Suddenly he sees a trail of black mass leading straight into the kitchen. He walks in to see a stallion with red and green eyes with purple smoke coming out of both of them. He wasn't a unicorn but rather an earth pony. His mane was black, charcoal black. He was using his powers to fix a leaking pipe underneath the sink using a wrench, but he was holding the pipe steady with his hooves. He notices Heat Wave and turns to him. As soon as he saw him his eyes return to normal even though his eyes were naturally red.

"Did ya need something, Heat Wave? I'm almost done over here." he said.

"Shadow, there's no need to continue right now. My brother said you can take a break. It's almost time for him to take his rightful place as King of the Rogues. Come on!" Heat Wave replied all excited.

"Wait, I thought he already did that just yesterday." Shadow replied with a confused look on his face.

"No, that was just his alicorn coronation, which we had as a PRIVATE ceremony. We need to make a PUBLIC announcement for his "Crowning" ceremony which so happens to be today." He explains calmly with a smile.

"Well ok then. But when exactly does it start? If it's later on, I'll meet you when I'm finished. But if it's about to start now, I'll drop everything and head out there." Shadow explains.

"Of course it's starting now, now COME ON, MAN, we're gonna be late!" He exclaims excited and anxiously grabbing Shadow by the hoof.

"Okay, alright, take it easy!" Shadow replies as he is being dragged out of the kitchen by Heat Wave.

Outside, Royal Blaze was standing in front pretty much almost everypony in the kingdom, who were lined up in two thick vertical lines reaching 3 miles he watched as they were starting to cheer for their soon-to-be former King of the Rogues. He raises his right hoof signaling them to stop.

"To my fellow citizens of Rogue Mountain. It is with great joy and great sorrow when I say as your king, it is time for me to step down. You have given me so much in these past 30 years of when I was still your king. But now as I step off my throne, I will now leave my entire kingdom in the hooves of my oldest son, Blue Blaze!" He announces loudly, causing the citizens to cheer. He raised his right hoof again after ten seconds of cheering. "Now, my son, Blue Blaze. Please step forth!" He says loudly to his son who is in between the crowds at the far back.

Blue Blaze stepped forth on the red carpet while every pony watched as he made his way to his father and kneeled down.

"Blue Blaze, I now present to you this crown. The crown that now deems you "King of the Rogues." Royal Blaze says loudly as he places the crown on his son's head, causing the citizens to bow to him. "May you guide the kingdom to a bright and everlasting future. ALL HAIL KING BLUE BLAZE!" He shouts.

"ALL HAIL KING BLUE BLAZE!" the crowd shouts.

  After the ceremony, and having a bite to eat, Blue Blaze went back home into his throne room and relaxed the rest of the night. Royal Blaze was in his bedroom looking outside the window feeling both proud and concerned for his son who had become king and his other son who left on his journey to start a new life. As he lays his head down about to close his eyes, but soon, a mist of magic appears into his room from outside his window. He sees it and it soon appears into the form of a letter.

'It looks like something important has come up. I wonder what news she has for me this time' He thinks to himself as he opens his note. He recognizes the letter from his wife. But as he gets further into the letter, he becomes worried and angry at the same time until finally

"ETERNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He shouts.
