Terror in Equestria 9: Return of Tambelon

After they all had a meal and some casual conversations, LaurFa and those who came through the portal were getting ready to leave. Unlike it was in the past when White Magick and a few soldiers would escort them out, Ruby also joined them. Ruby stayed particularly close to her new ally Colgate as she wanted to wish her farewell.

Once they crossed through the portal and into Equestria, Ruby stood closer to Colgate and suggested, "I know you will have your own nation now but I would advise you keep an eye on your citizens in the event that they don't accept you right away."

Colgate replied, "Oh don't worry about it, once I get the blue eye up and running, I will be able to scan the whole planet. I will even be able to see what is going on in Neigh Zealand and if Blue Star is having any problems, I could let you know."

Ruby gave her a smile and said, "Good. I know he is more than capable of ruling down there but like every other mother, I do worry quite a bit."

While they were talking LaurFa approached them. She asked, "So Colgate, are you ready to go get your capitol established and get your borders secured?"

Colgate replied, "Yes I am."

LaurFa asked, "So how do you plan on getting a fence or wall built, whichever it is you plan on using?"

Colgate replied, "I will duplicate my regular soldiers many times over to get this built as quickly as poss....."

LaurFa knew that this would take quite some time and figured that if Coastal Equestria could get fully separated from the rest of the country in a hurry, that things would be better. LaurFa suggested, "How about this Colgate. I can use my magic on a map of Equestria, one where you have drawn out what you want your borders to be and a wall could automatically appear."

Both Colgate and Ruby gasped, "Wow, you must really know your magic!"

LaurFa replied, "Yep, and it will also be with my magic how I will simply create your tower and everything that was in the archives out of nothing."

Ruby suggested, "You know LaurFa, you said you can make it out of nothing. I'm thinking perhaps you should make the area of whatever the archives would be larger because Colgate will have an addition of her own."

LaurFa sighed, "I know. I saw you allow her to use her magic in your realm so despite me not being thrilled with her going to have this extra knowledge, I shall make the archives bigger."

Colgate gave her a smile and replied, "Thanks." She turned to her generals and ordered, "Dark Night, Lightning Storm, could you round up our soldiers and ready them for our flight east? I want to get to Marentreal before sundown."

Her two generals said, "Yes ma'am!"

Just as they were getting ready to leave Ruby gave one final request to Colgate, "I have one thing to ask of you, come back and visit sometime!"

Colgate replied, "Oh I will and I do hope you'll come and visit me sometime as well."

The two nodded at one another before Colgate, her soldiers and LaurFa took off towards the east.

While Ruby was having one final talk with Colgate, White Magick was giving his farewell to Twilight, "Twilight, what did you think of what you were able to see of our library?"

Twilight gave him a blush and replied, "It was more amazing than anything I had ever seen!" She gave him an embrace and continued, "Thank you so much!"

This was the first time that White Magick even noticed her blushing at him and really didn't know how to handle it but one pony did notice it from afar and realized that this was the moment she would lay down the law. Ruby stormed over towards the two and snapped, "Twilight Sparkle, may I ask why you are blushing at MY husband?"

Twilight was terrified to see Ruby up in her face yelling at her. She shied back and replied, "We-well it is just that he is cute....."

Ruby interrupted, "And taken!" She grabbed Twilight in her aura and issued her a warning, "Now you listen to me and listen to me good. If you so much as bat another eye at my husband, ever, I will take it as a declaration of war."

This terrified Twilight and shocked White Magick. He pushed Ruby away from Twilight and gasped, "Honey, Twilight is no threat! You know I'm loyal to you and would never look at another mare."

This was Twilight's cue that she had probably better get going. She did her best to keep a neutral expression on her face as she said, "Well your Majesties, I suppose I better get going. I do hope that Celestia and I can build an alliance with you two."

White Magick replied, "Well you know you have an ally in us and Celestia seems friendly enough that she will as well."

Twilight gave him a smile but that quickly vanished when she saw Ruby's scowl, causing her to take off. As she was flying away, White Magick was not thrilled with his wife's behavior. He gave her a glare and asked, "Honey, why do you have to always glare at her like that?" His glare disappeared as he continued, "Look, I know you don't like her blushing at me, I know you think she's going to steal me away from you and I know you still don't trust her but you should know that I will always be loyal to you."

Ruby sighed, "I certainly hope so but as far as Twilight goes, I will always remember the evil Twilight I first encountered so chances are I will never trust her."

White Magic began to head back towards their portal and said, "Come on honey, let's get back to our realm. I don't want anypony wondering why both of us are gone."

Ruby sighed, "You go ahead, I just need a moment, alright?"

White Magick shrugged his shoulders in frustration. He could understand his wife still not trusting Twilight because of her past but it frustrated him and even angered him a little that his wife would think that he would be disloyal to her. He said to himself, "Why would she think that? Why would she think I'd abandon her for Twilight when I barely know her?"
