Canterlot Chronicles: The Siren Wars
Chapter 2 - Sean's Departure and a Conflicted Adagio
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe sun hung in the sky, dousing the construction site in a warm heat as a cool breeze from the south cooled the sweaty skin of the hard working. Sean and Radiant sat on a girder near the top of the building eating the lunch that their wives had made for them just the night before. The two ate and joked about the other workers as Sean looked over at Radiant and frowned. “Most us are gonna die when we fight aren’t we?” He said as Radiant stopped laughing and set his food down.
“Wow talk about a mood killer. But yes; not all of us will survive the battle but it’s up to us to decide what's worth fighting for and who we deem important enough for saving.” Radiant said as Sean looked down and dropped a coin from the girder.
“Would you ever sacrifice Sunset’s life for your friends?” Sean asked as Radiant looked at him with a look of disdain.
“Son, I’d rather sacrifice myself than let anyone lay a finger on Sunset or my Sisters. Hell, I once gutted a man for calling Adagio fat.” He said as Sean looked at him with a look of shock. Never before had he heard of such a barbaric act being done to someone over a small incident like insulting his sister. “And before that I gave a guy a blood eagle because he tried to rape Sonata.” He said as Sean reluctantly looked at him and gulped.
“What's a blood eagle?” He asked scared at the response he would be getting from the now seemingly pacifistic Siren. Radiant laughed and smirked with a sadistic look on his face.
“The blood eagle is a ritualized method of execution amongst us Sirens and is only saved for those who hurt or try to hurt our families or threaten our brothers; the victim was placed in the prone position, the ribs severed from the vertebral column with a sharp implement and the lungs pulled through the opening to create a pair of wings.” Radiant said. Just the very thought of the gruesome execution made Sean about vomit up his lunch. Despite having killed thousands of Changelings without remorse or any reaction the idea of torture made Sean sick to his stomach. “Oh and there was the time I hung a dude from a watchtower, I beheaded three thugs with one swing of my sword, and, oh, there even was a time where I was alive during the rise of the Roman Empire. Shortly after starting my journey to look for my sisters I went through a portal that put me in the time of the Ancient Romans, and after a few years of living in Rome I defected to the barbarian side and over the course of seven hundred years I helped bring Rome to its knees. I fought alongside great warriors like Hannibal, Boudica, Alaric, Attila of the Huns and all the other great barbarian warriors. Granted I won’t go down in the history books as Radiant Symphony but at the time I went by the name Arminius.” Sean spewed his sports drink over the edge as he looked at him with shock.
“Arminius….the Arminius? How could you be that Arminius when he died way before Rome even became the mighty Empire history said it was?” Sean asked as Radiant laughed at patted his shoulder.
“Son I never said I was Arminius I simply just used his name up until the mid eighteen sixties. Once the Civil War started I took up a more modern name choose the name Alfred Winnipeg and fought for the union army, then I was a Marine in World War Two going by the name Marcus Grant, and shortly after that ended I cut my ties and used my magic to travel to another world...this world.” Radiant continued to say as Sean looked at him astounded and impressed at how he easily survived so many battles that were waged throughout his history.
“Well this explains why you’re so fucked up in the head. So does that mean you're immortal? I mean, you're several thousand years old, not to mention all the wounds you suffered during your time in battle across history so you must be...right?” Sean asked as Radiant looked at him and laughed again this time nearly falling off the building.
“Celestia no, I’m only immune to sickness, aging, and mortal weapons but if someone were to simply have a sword blessed with holy water, divine oils, or equestrian magic then those blades could easily end my life just as quickly as they would end a simple human. Hell, even something as simple as blessed brass knuckles could kill me, but then again no one has ever had the balls to face me in hand to hand, simply because no one who tried has ever lived. You don’t spend the time of the Romans all the way to the second world war without learning all kinds of techniques and martial arts but, to answer your question, no I am just as mortal as you Sean.” He said checking his watch and closing his lunchbox and standing up stretching. “Well time to call it a day and head home.” Radiant said as Sean stood up checking his watch confused.
“What? It’s only 12:30 pm, how are we done already?” Sean asked packing up his food and walking into the lift with Radiant as they slowly descended down the building.
“We finished our job now it’s up to the rest of the guys to get the walls set up and floor put down. We were only here to finish the building's structure. Now we have the next two days off as well so we will be spending them training, I just hope Sunset got the Shadowbolts to help us.” Radiant said as Sean smirked and stretched his fist.
“So are we going to train in that portal again like when I was training for confronting Chrysalis?” Sean said as Radiant shook his head causing Sean to question what training they would be doing.
“Sean, I’m about to ask you to do something that's far beyond reckless, and if you agree now, karma will be constantly after you and your family should you not uphold these rules. Son, have you heard of a Shaolin Monk?” Radiant asked as Sean looked at him and shook his head as they climbed into his truck.
“Shaolin Monks are Buddhists who learn a variety of things including Buddhist teachings and Shaolin Kung Fu, one of the oldest remaining martial arts. Between 150 and 400 monks live in the Shaolin temple at any time and a small traveling troupe gives demonstrations around the world to raise money to support the temple. From sun up to sundown daily they study, practice, meditate and fine tune their knowledge and abilities. Most people focus on their martial arts training, but really the day in the life of a monk may include painting, reading, writing poetry or songs, playing musical instruments and all sorts of other normal daily activity. Similar to renaissance men in the western world. A Shaolin Monk should be a well rounded individual and have a variety of interests and abilities.” Radiant said as Sean looked up at him with wide eyes as the concept enthralled the young man.
“What’s Buddhism?” Sean asked as Radiant sighed in frustration.
“Seriously? I thought for sure Twilight would have told you about it… after all she loves studying different eastern philosophies.” Radiant said as Sean laughed and opened a bottle of water he had left in the glove box. “Well, Sean, Buddhism is a path of practice and spiritual development leading to Insight into the true nature of reality. Buddhist practices like meditationare means of changing yourself in order to develop the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom. An enlightened being sees the nature of reality absolutely clearly, just as it is, and lives fully and naturally in accordance with that vision. This is the goal of the Buddhist spiritual life, representing the end of suffering for anyone who attains it. The basic tenets of Buddhist teaching are straightforward and practical nothing is fixed or permanent actions have consequences however, change is possible.” Radiant explained as Sean followed closely interested in the concept of the teachings.
“You know, Radiant while you were explaining that, I was getting History Channel vibes coming off you.” Sean said as he shared a hearty laugh with Radiant.
“Well, when you have been alive for as long as I have, you learn many things. No, the reason I’m saying all of this is because this process takes several years to perfect and during my time in China, shortly after the Friendship Games incident, I met a man who mastered the art and teaches anyone willing to learn the traditional way of becoming a Shaolin Monk he offered to teach me but I rejected because it’s just not the path for me. Regardless, I helped him raise money for his temple and in return, he said he would do me one favor when the time came. “What I’m saying is I’m sending you to China and I want you to train hard with him while we train back home. I know it’s a lot to ask you to spend five years away from Adagio and Twilight, especially with them being pregnant but we both need this, I saw how you fought Chrysalis and it scared me because in you I saw the old me and I don’t want you to turn into what I was.” Radiant said as Sean looked at him with a look of shock.
“What if I refuse? I mean that's a big thing to ask, Radiant.” Sean said as he sighed looking over at him.
“I know it is Sean, that's why I already bought the tickets, your flight is tomorrow at eleven in the morning. I wouldn’t have done this if the situation wasn’t so dire, I’ll be by to pick you up at 10:30 am so be ready.” Radiant said as he dropped Sean off. As he waved goodbye he went inside and collapsed onto his couch crying. Sean was by no means a sensitive person and could always keep his emotions under control but knowing that this would be the last time he saw Adagio and Twilight made his heart sink. In his mind he knew Radiant was doing the right thing but he simply wasn’t ready to part with the girls he loved more than life itself. Adagio came downstairs to investigate the crying and quickly walked over and sat next to Sean.
“Sean what's wrong? Did something happen at work?” She asked as Twilight to came down and sat on the couch with them, Sean sat up and held them close.
“Girls I have to leave for a while. Radiant wants me to travel to China and train with a friend of his who teaches people how to become Shaolin Monks, issue is I’ll be gone for five years meaning I’ll miss our children's birthdays.” Sean said as Adagio dried his eyes and kissed his cheek.
“When are you leaving?” She asked as Sean reluctantly told her what Radiant said.
“What!” The girls said in unison as their grip on Sean tightened.
“You can’t go that soon, maybe we can talk Radiant out of it and see if he can push it back.” Twilight said as her eyes filled with tears.
“Good luck, Radiant already bought the ticket so the three of us are spending every second together.” Sean said as the three of them silently held each other close as Adagio put on romantic music.
“That means that this will be our last night together for a while so let's make the most of it.” Adagio said with a smile, without wasting time she took Twilight's hand and pulled her into a deep kiss as Sean watched with a pleased smile. Adagio lifted up her hand and seductively waved him over coaxing him to follow sit like a puppy being lead to treats.
Adagio pulled Sean in as she kissed his lips and swirled her tongue around his and rubbed his body as Twilight slowly pulled down Adagios underwear and buried her head between her legs and softly licked, Adagio moaned into Sean's mouth as his hands slowly ran under her shirt and rubbed her perk breasts. Adagio reached down and held Twilight's head as she licked faster causing her to break the kiss and moan loudly. “Oh god Twilight ye right there please don’t stop.” Adagio moaned as Sean slinked own and began to bite and kiss her neck causing Adagio to lay beck on the couch at the constant pleasure coursed through her body. “Oh my god you two are gonna make me lose my mind I love you both so much.” Adagio moaned out rubbing their heads and gently rocking her hips and grinding her pussy against Twilight's mouth as Twilight took her fingers and plunged them into her own pussy and fingered quickly moaning and vibrating Adagio’s swollen clit.
“Oh fuck, fuck, fuck!” Adagio screamed out as she tightened her legs around Twilight's head and cumming heavily as Sean slinked back up and began making out with her once again. Twilight drank Adagio’s juices as the sweet taste made her legs shake and her pussy throb around her fingers. “Mmmm I think I know what I want next.” Adagio said with a smirk as the three lovers climbed down onto the floor and switched their positions. Sean leaned back against the couch as Adagio got on all fours and began unzipping Seans pants and pulling out his stroking it softly. Sean moaned softly at the silky texture of Adagio’s palm slowly sliding up and down his shaft.
Twilight wantingly climbed up on the couch and startled Sean's face hoping to feel his tongue deep inside her that she loved so much. Without wasting time Sean wrapped his hands around her thighs as he pulled her down onto his mouth and began to lick like a dehydrated dog lapping up cold water.
“Mmmm s-someone is eager aren't t-they… oh fuck yes Sean you're amazing!” Twilight moaned out as Adagio took his tip into her mouth and sucked roughly and gently drug her teeth against the head like Sean loved. Adagio took a deep breath and pushed her head all the way down as she swallowed Sean's cock feeling the tip jab the back of her throat and began to bob her head quickly up and down as she pressed her teeth against his shaft gently biting as she sucked, Sean's body jolted in pleasure as he felt the pressure of her bite on his shaft. Sean licked faster and deeper as Twilight moaned more feeling her body tingle as her walls clamped down on Sean’s tongue she screamed out letting her fluid spew out and run down Sean’s throat as he lovingly drank every drop. Spent, Twilight crawled off and slinked down behind Adagio and began licking and sucking on Sean’s balls.
“Damn Adagio looks like Twilight is trying to out do you.” Sean said with a smirk as Adagio giggled and swirled her tongue around Sean’s shaft and sucked faster twisting her head. Sean moaned more causing his cock to twitch and throb, Twilight took an entire ball into her mouth and slowly swirled her tongue around it. The sensation became too much as Sean reached and gripped Adagio's hair and forced her head down as his cock erupted filling her mouth with cum as she lovingly gulped down each drop and sharing with Twilight as the made out and swirled the cum around each other tongues enjoying Sean's taste before swallowing.
“Alright Twilight shall we flip a coin to see who gets to ride Sean first?” Adagio said stroking his cock making sure it stayed erect, Twilight shook her head and smiled.
“You can go first Adagio, besides I really wanna see him give it to you hard.” She said rubbing her pussy slowly as Adagio smirked and leaned down sticking her ass in the air in front of Sean, she gave her ass a few wiggles and smiled at Twilight as Sean got onto his knees and gently massaged and squeezed her ass.
“Please don’t tease Sean pulse slam it in… break me like the bad girl I am.” Adagio said letting her submissive side emerge causing Twilight’s pussy to drip. “Please master I’m begging you.” She moaned as Sean smirked and pushed his cock into her ass as her tongue lol’d out and her head shot back. “Fuck yes!” she moaned as Sean wasted no time and begin to quickly thrust as Adagio jolted forward with each thrust. Sex with Adagio was always interesting because she would constantly switch between dominant and submissive which was a major turn on for both Sean and Twilight. Sean reached out and removed the band that had been holding up Adagios mountain of hair as it cascaded down her back and shoulders, Sean roughly gripped it and pulled as he slammed into her harder and harder, Adagio’s mind went blank from the bliss and pleasure Sean was lovingly giving to her albeit very roughly.
“Fuck yes Sean pound me harder please.” Adagio begged as Sean let go and leaned forward placing her neck in between his for arm and upper arm as he gently applied pressure to her throat speeding up his thrusts as Adagio rolled back her eyes leaving her mouth agape causing Twilight to get a naughty idea. Twilight stood up and quickly went into the room upstairs and began searching the trunk under their bed, after a few seconds of searching Twilight found the large purple strap on her and Adagio would use when Sean wasn’t home. Twilight quickly put it on and came walking down the stairs to see adagio now splayed out on the ground moaning as Sean continued pounding her ass in a way that made Twilight's body shiver with pleasure, Adagio saw the large strap on and perked up opening her mouth wide hoping Twilight would ravage her mouth like Sean always did.
Twilight smirked as Adagio lifted her head and wrapped her arms around Twilight's waist and moving her head back and for sucking the purple silicone cock that had been specifically molded to Sean's size. Twilight began to pump Adagios mouth in Sync with Sean as they made out roughly. Adagio felt her body tingle and become numb as she cummed heavily and went limp panting as Sean and Twilight continued thrusting as Sean felt pressure build up in the base of his cock, sensing he was about to cum Twilight quickly pulled out and held Adagio close as their cheeks touched and their mouths hung open. Sean began to stroke quickly as Twilight dabbed her tongue on his tip, without warning Sean moaned as cum rocketed out of his head painting the girls face in strings of gooey white goodness. The three lovers laid on the floor panting before wiping their faces clean and cuddling up close near the fireplace. Using his foot Sean pressed a switch on the side of the fireplace as the gas activated and lit the logs allowing the couple to bask in the warmth of the moment.
“We love you Sean, were so happy to be you wives.” Twilight said as Adagio nodded prompting Sean to kiss their heads.
“I love you to girls but when I come back and we finish this dumb war I’m taking you and the kids on a nice vacation maybe to Spain or New Zealand.” Sean said as he rubbed their heads, the girls blushed and nuzzle his chest as they slowly drifted off into a deep sleep. Adagio and Twilight snored away softly as Sean looked up at the ceiling unable to sleep, something about this trip just rubbed him the wrong way he simply chalked it up as separation anxiety and cuddled up with the girls and closed his eyes.
The next morning Sean woke up around 9:00 am and prepared to pack as he packed the essentials including; Deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, clothes, and a framed photo of Twilight, Adagio, and him on their wedding day for motivational support. Sean zipped his duffle bag and threw it downstairs waking Twilight and Adagio up in the process, as he walked down the stairs he headed for the kitchen and began to cook.
“Morning hun.” Adagio said walking up and wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his shoulder.
“Morning sweetie, I figured I’d make us all some breakfast before we leave for the airport.
“We?” Twilight asked in a confused tone as she kissed him on the cheek and took her seat at the table.
“Ya I figure we can all go and kiss each other goodbye before I leave.” Sean said as Adagio giggled kissing his cheek and sitting down at the table.
“Your so sweet hard to believe your friends with my brother, you two are such polar opposites yet more alike than I’d like.” She said with a giggle as Sean prepared the steak and eggs while the asparagus boiled in the pot adjacent to the frying pan. The clock seemed to melt away as before Sean knew it had already reached 10:00 am by the time he finished cooking, he quickly plated up the food and set it down poured three glasses of orange juice. The three began to eat quickly as Sean discussed everything that Radiant had told him.
“So it will just be you and this Monk for five years? Training, meditating, writing, etc.?” Twilight asked as Sean nodded and smiled.
“When I return I’ll not only be deadly but I’ll be seeing life from a whole new perspective. Meaning I’ll see you girls in a whole new light and honestly it will make me appreciate you two even more than i already do. Just please tell the kids when they're older that daddy is away being a hero and fighting bad guys?” Sean asked as Adagio and Twilight giggled at him.
“Don’t worry Sean we will you just focus on your training and keep us close to your heart.” Twilight said as she took the plates and put them in the sink, the doorbell rings as Adagio and Twilight quickly put their pajamas back on and answered the door. Radiant walked in and hugged his sister.
“You ready to go Sean?” he said as Sean threw the duffel bag over his shoulder and walked out.
“Ya let’s go, oh and by the way Adagio and Twilight are coming to see me off.” Sean said as Adagio gave Radiant puppy dog eyes and pouted causing Radiant to sigh and smile.
“Alright ya little brat go get in the truck.” He said as Adagio hopped up and hugged him before climbing in the back with Sean.
“Actually I’m staying here I would love to see him off but I have to continue working on your arm and eye.” Twilight said lying to Radiant to which he smiled and hugged her before closing the door and driving off. Twilight slumped up the stairs and curled up in bed as a wave of depression hit her like a freight train. She grabbed a pillow and placed one of Sean’s shirts over it before holding it closes softly sobbing. Adagio spent the time in the car glued to Sean as Radiant looked back and smiled, Sean blankly stared out the window as the sun hung in the sky brightly, his hand cupped Adagio's hand and rubbed her pregnant belly as she slept peacefully against him.
Adagio’s actions around Sean amazed Radiant as he had never seen her this close and loving with anyone, she had always been so distant in her relationships but something about Sean brought out a side of her that warmed Radiant’s heart. He loved his sisters yes but he loved seeing them happy even more, his one hope was that Aria would soon find her Sean and come out of her shell.
The truck came to a stop as Radiant woke Sean and Adagio up from their slumber, as they climbed out Radiant tossed Sean his duffle bag. The three of them headed into the airport as the clock struck 10:25 am. Sean stood at the gate as his ticket was called but before he could go Adagio pulled him into a deep kiss and caressed his cheek as her eyes filled with tears.
“I’ll miss you Sean, promise me you’ll come back quickly… please.” Adagio begged as she cried more nearly breaking Sean and Radiant’s hearts as they always hated seeing Adagio cry. Sean took her hand and kissed her lovingly before letting go and looking into her eyes.
“You won’t even know I was gone hun.” He said as he walked down the hall and boarded the plane disappearing into the crowd. Adagio turned and clinged to Radiant burying her head in his chest and sobbing loudly as he held her and rubbed her back.
“C’mon Adagio I know you're upset but we gotta start training. Time is of the essence.” He said as Adagio looked up at him angrily.
“You can’t even wait five goddamn minutes before mentioning that can you? My fucking husband just left for five years and all you can think of is training? Then again why should you care? Your wife gets to train beside you all she wants and you don't have to know the pain of not having the one you love beside you. Why don't you think of someone other than yourself you selfish fucking prick?!” She yelled pushing Radiant away and storming off to the truck leaving Radiant to stand there stunned. He knew she was speaking out of fear and grief but every word she said seemed to sting him in all the right places, Radiant looked out as Sean’s plane took off, and a feeling in the pit of his stomach swelled up. Radiant began to question if sending Sean off was a good idea, he quickly shook the feeling away as he turned to leave the airport, after a few minutes of walking and a visit to the gift shop Radiant climbed into his truck placing the bag near Adagio.
Adagio said nothing and slowly took the bag not once making eye contact with Radiant as they headed for his house. Radiant sighed as he knew these next five years would be the hardest of his life but he was determined to muscle through it or die trying.
