My Shattered Soul: Starting Anew

As I stand on the balcony of mine and Luna's chambers I think about the changes I have seen the last few months. In some areas Equestria is ahead of Earth, in others it is behind. I still can't believe that the medical system here is so far ahead of human understanding. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice the ebony forelegs and wings wrapped around me.

"What are you thinking so hard about J?"

"I don't know anything about Equestria anymore. It has all changed for the better yes, but I do miss the simplicity of life from back then."

"I understand my love" she said nuzzling my cheek "I was the same way when I was purged of the Nightmare and found myself in the then modern Equestria. You have me, Tia and your friends to help you if it ever gets overwhelming for you."

Smiling I turned so I was face to face with my wife. "I still can't believe you searched for me all these years. Do I mean that much to you?" She frowned and I watched as a fire lit in her eyes.

"You are the only one that has claimed my heart and soul. Nopony else will ever have them. I would search till the end of time if we were ever separated again."

"Possessive much are we" I asked with a smirk.

"In your own words, damn right I am" she replied giggling.

Pulling her closer I kissed her sweet lips and picked her up. When I got to the couch I sat down with my sweet Luna in my lap. After she buried her muzzle into my neck I asked a question that has been on my mind constantly.

"Luna? I want your opinion on something."

"And what would that be my J?"

"We agreed long ago to wait on starting our family until peace was established. Do you want to start now?"

"Do you really wish to now? You haven't been back in Equestria long."

"Yes I do. If anything it will help me settle in. We've waited so long and I know you have waited patiently my Angel."

"I wanted you back at my side more, but now that I have you once again I can really live again and I want nothing more than to bear your foals."

"When do you start your heat?"

She nuzzled me again then whispered in my ear. "I'm in heat right now dear."

"Interesting."

I won't go into details, but Luna wouldn't let me leave our room for a week. When I finally did I will admit my ass was dragging. With nothing to do and Luna taking a nap, I figured I would go to day court and give Tia a hand. When I stopped at the throne room doors the guards bowed to me.

"I've said it once and I'll say it again. The guards does not have to bow to me."

"We know sir, but our respect for you is why we do it."

Sighing I knew I was fighting a losing battle. "Very well, I guess announce my arrival."

"Of course my Prince."

Turning the guard opened the door and in a clear and authoritative voice announced me. "Presenting his royal highness. Prince of the Skies J Lynn Voigt."

As I stepped into the throne room all in attendance bowed to me. When I made it to the raised dias at the end Celestia was smirking at me.

"Brother, this is a pleasant surprise."

"Luna finally got tired of me and I was bored, so I figured I would come and give you a hand Tia." Her laughter always brought a smile to my face. She always did have a beautiful laugh.

"I am more than happy for you to join me J. It's been a long time since its happened."

I climbed the dias and took a seat on Luna's throne. I had no sooner settled and grinned at Tia when somepony started raising hell.

"How dare you, you filthy creature. You have no right to sit on that throne." I looked the idiot over. It was a unicorn stallion. He had a white coat and blonde mane and tail. I snickered at him for the outrageous outfit he was wearing.

"I can take this seat for the simple fact that I have been married to Luna for over two thousand years." I turned to Tia. " Who is this fuckin idiot Tia?"

"He is our nephew my dear brother in law. Prince Blueblood the eighteenth."

"How did that happen Tia" I asked leering at her.

"His line is adopted, just like Cadence was."

"Well Cady I like" I turned and looked at the pompous ass. "Him I don't like so much."

"He will grow on you eventually."

"I don't want cancer de Blueblood Tia." She tried to hide her giggle behind her hoof, but it didn't work.

"J that wasn't very nice." I looked over at BB again. The stricken look on his muzzle was perfect.

"Tia, you know I don't suffer fools very well." I stood to address the room. "I want all nobles here to know a few things. Do not test me. I will kick your ass. Things will change since I'm back where I belong. I know my wife and sister have been playing this game for a long time, but know this. I will not let any of you think of taking any kind of advantage. This includes you Bluebelle." I turned and sat back down on the throne. "Now please continue."

The whiney ass nobles I could care less for, but the common pony I cared about a lot. Right at the end of the day one last noble stood and asked for what all the others had asked for. More bits, but this one looked familiar. I looked at Tia and she nodded.

"What is your name?"

"Claymore the eighth my Lord" replied the thestral stallion.

I looked at Tia and gained a shit eating grin. I motioned for the nearest guard. "Go fetch me my Captain."

"Of course your Highness."

It wasn't five minutes before the throne room doors opened and in walked the Captain of my Sky Guard. When he stopped at the foot of the dias he saluted me.

"What do you require my Prince?"

"Claymore meet Claymore the Eighth."

When he turn to look, he might as well been looking in a mirror.

"I'm not impressed J."

"How dare you. Do you have any idea of who I am?"

"You stupid idiot. Do YOU have any idea of who he is? Clay you may remove your armour."

When he started the first to come off was his helmet. When it came off the noble was stunned.

"That's right moron. Meet the progenitor of your line." By that time Clay had fully removed his armour and there was no question about it.

"After Zwe died, I lost touch with my family. I can see it's time to take up the mantel of family elder again. They have fallen far."

"Well you have the time now old friend. Tell the others that all they have to do is ask and we will help find their families again."

"Of course my Lord." When he turned he looked at his namesake with cold eyes. "You pick up my armour and follow me."

"Of course grandfather" he said shivering in fear. When they left Tia declared that court was closed. I stood up and streched.

"Well I guess I shall go see if my lovely wife is awake and meet you for dinner Tia." She smiled at me.

"Say in about a hour J?"

"Sounds good, maybe I'll have a extra in tow."
