sorry if there are too many POV changes

chapter 22 the wedding and a cliff hanger at the end

After I went inside I went to a wall and pressed a hidden button. The wall opened up and I went inside, beginning my descent down the stairs that had been hidden while the wall closed behind me.
It was a long flight of stairs like it took 10 minutes to get half way down.
After I reached the bottom there was a huge door with wards and trapes around it and I opened the door and it closed behind me and I entered I large room with the palantir in the middle of the room with a 5 layed shield around it, and I walked through them as I picked up the palantir and it began to glow as it showed me Dainn

3rd person view

“You failed me again.” Dainn yelled as he looked at his general. “You can’t kill one freak even when he was drawn away from his city.” Dainn said as he sat on his throne. “From what my spys say he will be ready to fight in a few months.” He said as he pulled out a report and threw it at his general and the papers in it went flying everywhere. “We can’t do anything anymore without being obvious or sending an army which would be seen by Equestria as a sign of war and they will call on their allies.” He said as his general walked forward.

“I shall begin preparation on our defense.” He said as he left the room.

Talion POV

After the general left I placed the palantir down and left the room and back upstairs and walked through the hidden passage into the throne room and the captain of the guard was waiting for me. “Where is the other captain?” He asked.

“I had to rush here so they are still traveling they should be by canterlot in a few days maybe the day of the wedding I think.” Then realization hit me hard. “I have to get ready for the wedding and I don’t even have a suit ready for it.” I yelled as I flew to my room and looked to see if I had one and I didn’t but I still had enough time to get one so I flew to the shopping district of my city and entered a store.

“How may I help you.” The cashier said before she turned around and saw me and her eyes widened.

“Just here for a suit you don’t have to worry about anything.” I said but it did not calm her down as she walked to the back of the store and came back with a grey suit and I looked over it and nodded and bought it before flying back to the tower to try it on and check the day of the wedding.

After I checked the date of the wedding, it was two days from now about the time my army would return so I would spend the next day getting ready for the big day when I go to canterlot to meet up with the girls and leave and I went down stairs and meet up with the captain. “So how is the guard detail in canterlot since we sent some guards to increase security?” I asked as we walked down the halls.

“It is better but we have also sent some of the new recruits that joined the guard to help out and we received a message from our guards that the equestrian guards training is,” He stopped trying to find the right words. “Lacking.” he said as he could not think of anything else but I could tell what he was meaning.

“Ok then.” I said as we walked onto a balcony overlooking the city. “Any news on the threat to Canterlot?” I asked as he shook his head. “I might bring a few more guards with me when I leave tomorrow.” I said and he nodded in understanding. “Well we should get everything ready can you get some of the tower guard and the berserkers ready for travel?” I asked as he left to get them.

??? POV

“My plan was almost ready to put into action and Canterlot would be mine.” The mystery figure said as one of her minions came into view.

“My queen everything is ready and we have captured her so you can take her place.” The minion said as the queen smiled and she began to laugh.

Talion POV the next day

After I got up I put my new suit into a bag and walked outside to see about fifty of my guards, tower guards and berserkers waiting for me and we traveled to ponyville to meet up with the girls and as we were traveling to town we ran into some manticores they were no problem but I had them stored away after so I can test something later and we continued to town.

We reached town an hour later and I told the guard to start walking to canterlot while I picked up the girls and they were waiting for me at the library. When I got to the library I knocked on the door and spike answered it.

“Hey Talion.” He said with a smile as he opened the door and I walked inside and the girls were waiting for me with bags around them probably their clothes, dresses and things they need for the travel for canterlot and they all stood up to hug me, and we packed everything and headed to the train to get to canterlot.

After we reached the train station I noticed Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Twilight were more clingy than usual as hey held onto me as we walked to the train statin and boarded the train.

As we were riding the train Aiko clung to my right arm as Twilight clung to my left arm and the others were talking amongst themselves as we approached canterlot

1 hour later

We had reached canterlot and got off the train and I saw my guards already made it here as I saw them approaching the castle, and as we walked towards the castle I saw many of the nobles looking at us many with disgust but many smiled at us as we walked past and entered the castle after a few minutes of walking and the girls I would soon be married to stayed close to me as we entered and meet up with Luna and she looked beautiful she was a blue dress if she looks this great before the wedding I can’t wait to see her when we get married.

“It’s good to see you again.” Luna said as she hugged me and gave me a kiss and after a few minutes of making out we stopped and she nuzzled my check as she let go and we walked to the dinning hall and meet up with celestia.

“It’s wonderful to see you again Talion.” Celestia said as she stood up from the table to greet me and everyone as we walked in and sat down at the table and she sat down as well. “So how are your plans progressing?” Celestia asked as she looked at a menu.

“Not good with my army traveling back we are vulnerable, the attack proves that so we need to increase the guards at the city to better their defenses so it will take more time to build a sizeable force for an invasion.” I said as I picked up a nearby menu and Celestia sighed and put down her menu. “I know you don’t like it but this has to be done.” I said as she nodded and we ordered our foods surprisingly Rarity, Twilight and Applejack were not hungry so they did not order anything as we ate.

Captain of the guard

I was going over the reports I had received and a guard came in. “Sir we have more information on the threat in canterlot.” He said as I signaled him to continue. “We believe they are already in Canterlot and we received reports on strange activity near a mine below canterlot.” He said as I stood up.

“I will investigate myself and take a few guards with me.” I said as I left the room to gather some guards.

Talion POV

After dinner we went for a walk around the castle for awhile and we decided to walk in the garden and rest on the grass. After we reached the garden I came upon a familiar figure Discord.
He is trapped in stone but he could still find a way out again and the girls noticed my glare and looked at discord.

“It’s ok, he’s trapped and will be for a long time.” They said as we walked on through the garden until we found a comfortable spot under some trees, and we laid down and relaxed.

Captain of the guard POV

I had rallied a few guards to come with me a few spearmen, swordsmen, and berserkers so in total there was about 50 of them and we were ready to go so we left for the train station in ponyville to cut travel time.

Talion POV

After a few minutes of relaxing we went back inside and we went our separate ways so they can get ready for tomorrow and I have to make sure the day is perfect so I went to check on the wedding preparations, and I ran into my friend Onyx and we talked for a bit.

“So how are things?” Onyx asked as we walked down the halls.

“Busy.” I said. “With everything going on I barely have the time to rest these days.” I said as I sighed.

“Hey me and my friends are going to the bar later you want to come with I guess that could be your bachelor party.” He said as I smiled and nodded.

“Yes that would be nice.” I said.

Captain of the guard POV

We were on the train traveling to canterlot and everyone was looking at us. After a few minutes a child walked over to me.

“Sir, why are you in armor?” He asked and I took off my helmet to reveal nothing inside. “Cool.” he said as he walked back over to his parents and we continued the ride with silence as many people were still looking at us

Talion POV

We were at the bar having drinks and telling jokes among the guards and it appears I am immune to alcohol so I can drink as much as I want and I had finished the tenth cider when me and a random guard were having a drinking contest and he passed out.
After we left the bar we walked to the castle and walked by some of the ther guards and my own as we entered Onyx was drunk as fuck and he was close to throwing up and passing out right now and we went our separate ways once I took him to the medical ward of the castle and let him sleep and I went to the girls room and they were playing board games and talking when I came in and sat down and relaxed as the girls did their thing.

“Hey Talion.” I heard tempest say as she walked over. “Want to play with us?” She asked as I nodded and got up to play

Captain on the guard POV

We reached canterlot and went around the side to the cave that led into the mine and we were walking down from what the plan we secured say it could take hours to explore the entire thing, so instead of stalling we began to walk down the tunnel.

Talion POV the next day

It was the day of the wedding and I was getting my suit on and getting ready and I chose Onyx to be my best man or stallion in this case as I left the room to get to the wedding and It began in a hour.

Captain of the guard POV

We finally found something it was footprints and we followed them to what seemed like a prison and we knocked it down to find someone unexpected inside and we rushed to the wedding with the mystery mare with them

Talion POV the wedding

I was at the altar and wedding music was being played and Celestia is acting as the priest and the girls started walking down the aisle Applejack was wearing a white dress that hugged her curves as she walked down. Luna was wearing a deep blue wedding dress and a veil that looked like it was made of stars. Fluttershy was in a long white dress that dragged on the ground and I saw some of her animals trying to keep it from dragging to much. Aiko was wearing a jewel encrusted white dress and her eyes were sparkling with joy. Tempest was wearing a short red dress as she walked the aisle. Rainbow Dash was in a dress as well even though I could tell she did not want one it was a plain white dress and lastly there was Twilight she was wearing a white dress with a large sapphire on the middle of the dress and I saw smaller jewels around it and everyone was silent as the wedding truly begun as we recited our vows but after I said mine the door burst open to reveal my captain and beside him is what truly shocked me something that should be impossible it was.

You want to know who it is well you will have to wait till the next chapter
