A life stolen for a war unclaimed
Thunder from the ground and Sky| Part 1 Declaration.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWalking down the Corridor I couldn't help smiling to myself, As I heard the thunder Rumbling followed by a rush of hoof steps and wings flapping in my direction. Celestia being the benevolent and gracious ruler she is along with Luna, provided me with a literal home, a legitimate tower that I can rightfully say is mine as even the door to it had a sign and mail post that stated my new name. My ears flicked as the sounds of a rather large bodied being slowed but grew louder still. Along with the sound of their voices, a new one among that which I know?
"I just don't understand though, with what your saying his mind should be so disturbed on a psychological level if that type of dream is normal, and if its in such vivid detail like you say... and the notion that it repeats itself. He shouldn't be anywhere near as sane as his previous displays according to all of you." His voice was concerned, fascinated and analytical. Kinda of gruff but nasally as well. Like Ghost Nappa. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind.
NOOOO I'll never be able to see Team 4 Stars videos but DBZ Abridged was amazing.
"Luna, are you sure this is accurate? If Doctor Nappa is right about this leaving him alone may have been a dangerous choice on my part." Celestia's voice was regretful. I had to stifle my laughter as I came into their view around the corner walking with a large smile on my face.
"See Auntie you were over reacting, Damocles is fine." She paused for a moment and looked over at me. "You are fine right?" her voice held like a worried older sister's. I simply Nodded and stretched a bit. This time I reflexively felt my wings move with me eliciting several violent pops that made a few of them blink in surprise as I gave a slight sound of enjoyment. Now my wings were fully extended in a near wing boner state. Looking at them I sigh.
"Do the wings staying up after popping some bones seem normal? Be cause outside of that I feel fine. Had a nights rest, had a good dinner, gonna get some breakfast and I would like some company, I don't do too well being completely alone for long periods of time. Makes my mind start to over work itself, and well You all know how imaginative I can get... and Luna?" She cocked her head giving a sound of curiosity. "While I appreciate the sentimentality of you worrying about my mental state based off the dreams I have normally, I assure you I am fine. Its been near 4 years I've had to live through that moment. Won't lie the first time messed me up pretty bad, became overly clingy with her and such during the first few repeats but I got better about it. And please, don't treat me as a foal. I'm damaged goods, as such I don't those who have a whole lot of... Political power, to get too attached to me. Can cause some issues." After saying that I mocked gasped and added shock giving everyone a look of worry and alarm. "How rude of me I forgot to say good morning to everyone, and good night to someone else." Looking at them all I said good morning to each individual starting with Celestia, "Morning Sexy, good morning Moon Butt, Aphrodite, Captain, and a special good morning to you Doctor Nappa." After that I started walking past them, Celestia giving them a smile as I walked.
Everyone blinked as I passed them and they followed. Celestia was the first to speak, "So you are adamant with calling me that, yet you state you will not pursue anything?" Nodding I imitate Big Mac's voice for a response.
Luna spoke up now, "And why is that? And I'm curious as to why you haven't given me a pet name yet." Her voice was concerned amused and I think held a slight hint of jealousy.
"Well not to be rude or too forward Luna, I can't think of one for you properly yet, as to why I call your sister sexy, well don't get me wrong you've always been gorgeous in my eyes, but Celestia has an edge on you that you don't. She's had a thousand years of experience to learn to do some very... skilled things, in her free time if she ever got bored. Not to say that you don't either but lets be honest here. What guard, and some servants' I'm sure, haven't dreamt of the acts that lead up to you both bearing their children. As for why I chose not to attempt to pursue it, Simply because that doesn't interest me and currently Romantically my Loyalties lie...elsewhere " My voice was so matter-of-fact it made shining Armor trip and Luna and Celestia stop and look a guard that I had just passed who I'm sure had over heard our conversation was more than sweating bullets. "Although you are right, I haven't been fair to you. Give me some time today and I'll have a better one for you. Deal?" I say as I look back to see just about everyone blushing and a very mad doctor.
"Ok I've heard enough! Princess Celestia, Princess Luna I demand that you have that pony.. no that mad Colt locked up." As if on cue some Jail bars appeared in front of me though not cutting me off and I decide to play it out because Cue Discord!
"Oh the doc is right girls, I'm insane I shouldn't be around pony's. Only you both would know what I would do! Just Chain me to a wall," The bars turned to restraints that had me float on an imaginary wall. "Slam the door" a small wooden door appeared between me and them and slammed against nothing loudly as keys were placed. "Lock me up and throw away the keys." the key was turned then tossed out the window before a familiar laugh began to take place as terror befell their faces when they realized what was happening. I couldn't help but take part in the laughter as a certain Draconequus appeared with his arm around me.
"Oh I do say this one is more fun than the others, where did you find him 'Tia." he laughed.
"She didn't, I was summoned by her." I replied in between laughs in her stead suddenly he stopped laughing and looked over at me then to Celestia.
"This is what you needed to borrow some of my Magic for? To summon a pegasus with bat wings?" His voice was arrogant and unamused. "I mean really, you told me it was reach across time and space to a reality where not even I could touch to bring someone to help us. But instead we got this?"
Celestia Spoke finally rolling her eyes to bear a smile. "Good morning to you to discord, with your arrival that means that Princess Twilight and the other elements of harmony are here... I will answer all questions after Damocles has some breakfast. And Doctor Nappa, we all have coping mechanisms for everything I am sure there were psychiatrist and mental doctors where Damocles is from that attempted to help him." I simply nodded my smile still there as she continued "I am sure he went to them as well" I couldn't help but snicker at that, "and the fact that he wasn't incarcerated there means he should be fine among our kind as well. Though I will admit that someone that Discord can do a comedy bit with is a tad unsettling" Luna muttered something at that comment along the lines of that's not the only thing. "Not to mention that he is still adjusting to our world he is bound to have a few... quirks as they say. Now lets go eat before a certain pony realizes hes looking at several Naked females again." This drew a blush on my face as she smirked accentuating naked and I quickly turned around and began to walk. "Hmm, perhaps I should call that certain pony something back for the nickname I am allowing him to have." this drew a mild laugh from Luna as I started to walk faster.
Crap I forgot the blindfold!! My mind raced with thoughts to try and calm myself down when I turned the corner and bumped into a certain white coated golden maned Unicorn in a suit that had a white and yellow star for a cutie mark, making us both fall down.
"Ugh The Nerve, Do you have any Idea of who I am?" Nobles accent, pompous tone the 'I'm better than everyone and they should lick the very ground I step on' attitude, Yep this was Indeed the one pony I wanted nothing to do with. BlueBlood. Standing up the rest of the group Caught up with me as Twilight and friends walked down the hallway coming towards us. My mind raced as I assessed the situation.
Lets see I'm in a new world, I have a new name. I still have my honor, I want to do what is right, after all their patience is only so vast and I am completely unaware of my current standing with them. I have the culmination of everything I despise in front of me and am at a tactical disadvantage when it comes to physical/magical properties and I REALLY hate this guy. My options: apologize a lot, save face and keep going to get food, Pick a fight with him and hopefully kick his ass, not the mule, with my sick human military training, ignore him and have him complain to Celestia and Luna, or insult him, fight him, and humiliate him. And despite me thinking all this through I'll still go with my gut feeling and say option D, before I even finish this- "I don't know, some brat who has been suckling on the teat of his family's status and success considering how by blood you are related to both Celestia and Luna and only get your way with what you want because no one generally wants to upset you because of said blood ties?" He looks at me his eyes widening and rage building. "Oh I'm sorry did I strike one of your very many shallow nerves?" The doctor aside,who having apparently left in anger due to my antics with discord, everyone stood flabbergasted at who I was talking and how. Rarity with sparkles in her eyes.
"How Dare you!! I am Prince Blue Blood and you will Respect my authority." I couldn't help laughing in my head as I suddenly remember the ringtone my dad's phone had. South park was hilarious. "To think that such a disgusting being like you would even dare to compare to me. Whatever Mare who would try to wed you I feel sorry for, Due to their blindness or how much spirit they had to drink they you would be worth it or their lack of intellect with their lack of beauty." That was the final straw as my expression darkened and my laughter subsided.
Celestia and Luna looked worried for what would come next giving each other a glance Cadance and Shining Armor did the same. A sound of a mirror shattering was heard through out the hall which later to be revealed was Discord falling to pieces in shock Blueblood had the audacity to do that. My eyes zeroed out for a moment and I felt every muscle in my body including my wings twitch to life as if saying with instinct we are yours to use. Breathing deep I close my eyes before I open them to lock on his eyes and spoke cold enough to make a windigo shiver. "Listen here, you little foal. I don't care if you go to insult me, but insult those I love and care about? You will regret. There is a window right there if you wanna take this outside, lets do that before we break some things in here. But I still hold some honor from my old home so ,I will give you just one chance. One chance alone, to apologize to the one who gave her heart to me for what you said."
He laughed at me in that moment. "Oh please do you think you could honestly defeat me? A blank flank of a Colt? Fine then I will Accept your duel. I will not apologize for what I said as obviously she would be here. Or tell me did you have to pay the tart? In fact lets raise the stakes higher shall we?" he locked his eyes with a smug grin.
"I'm listening." Hoof steps fell behind me, from the weight and movement it sounded like Shining Armors.
"I will select a Champion to fight in my stead Should I win you will become my personal pack mule for my entertainment."
"And when I win, You will do as I say, but lets make it better put on more of a show for everyone. I'll fight you and your champion at the same time. In 3 days you, your champion Vs me." My face stayed remarkably neutral as I spoke I could tell it was starting to get to him. He was growing angry.
"Fine. Lets see how well you hold yourself when you have to hold 3 times your own weight." with that he turned and tried to slap me with his tail in the process Instinctively my wing came out and blocked it before going back against my sides.
"Good, you better be ready to apologize to every mare you Insulted by name. Does that sound Fair to you Rarity?" My gaze turned from him to her as she led her friends up to me passing him with the usual lady like movement.
"Hmmph, As much as I do distaste violence I would hope that the thrashing you give him would do well to remind him of his mannerisms. Which Bring me to this question, Darling. How do you know my name?" She squinted her eyes at me in suspicion.
Celestia Intervened for me at that moment, "Hello Rarity, Pleasure to see you all here. Damocles will be willing to share exactly how he knows after we eat and Shining Armor finishes knocking sense into him. Isn't that right, my little Centurion?" her voice made me blush as she bent her head her lips near my ears as she said the last part. My wing shot up suddenly, causing her to giggle along with Luna and Cadance.
"Ok... point to Celestia... Current Score? Crystal Couple:0, Luna: 0, Friendship squad:0, Myself:-1, Celestia:1" Shaking my head I make my way to the Diner hall.
