It was quiet in the new zebra kingdom, Chris meet Coal dealer, and his children. Coal's daughter midnight dealer was looking through the market place with her family, checking stuff out that peeks her interest. During the past 2 days coal dealer was looking through King Chris' business, and happy to say he was more excited than the first time the two met. Chris however was sitting on his throne bored with nothing to do, but then a zebra mare maid ran right into the throne room, with a worried expression on her face.

"What is wrong?" Chris asked in alarm, as he got off his throne.

"I got news from not only the griffon kingdom, but from many others that you may need to see your highness!" She said as she handed over the letters/scrolls with royal seals on them.

Chris opened up the first one from the griffon kingdom, it sounded quite important, and this is what it said.

Dear King Chris

I have heard from my daughter that you choose her, and I will personally bestow upon you my blesses from our ancestors. Come around my castle so I can begin the preparations at once so you, and my daughter may truly be a couple by royal blood. It will be around the time of the begin of the winter festival in 10 days from now, please don't make us wait, we hate to wait, even my daughter {hint hint}.

Signed King Razorbeak

"Ok." Chris said to himself. "I really got to remember, or I will regret it." Chris then looked over to another letter from the Celestial Sisters.

Dear King Chris

Me and my sister were very grateful for what you did for our neighboring nation the minotaurs. We are so glad we met a wonderful stallion like yourself, and to make this friendship even greater, I will personally give you what I was going to give blueblood. Our nation's rarest item, the Golden Blade of Princess Platinum's Sword, as a token of our gratitude, and everlasting peace between our two kingdoms.

Sincerely yours Princess Celestia and Princess Luna

After that Chris was wide eyed at the part where she was about to give him something that was suppose to go to someone else. That spelled out trouble from here on, but it has it's rich rewards in the end, and a rare artifact no less. Chris then looked at the other letter regarding about minotaurs, and their king as he opened it.

Dear King Chris

I was writing to you about my daughter flora's health. I forgot to send some herds to help her since she will be living with you after all, and I wanted to say good luck on running your kingdom, I hope for your sake that things run smoothly. A quick notice that I will be holding a tournament for the strongest fighters, and I bet my bits that my strongest champion can beat your strongest elephant. It is in 2 days from now, I hope your guy is as strong, or much stronger than my fighter, and also wagons of herds will appear at your doorstep, so don't be alarmed if a wagon comes to your city.

Signed King Iron Hoof

Chris then scratched his head thinking, 'Maybe that elephant with the mask will volunteer for the fights, I could use some of that entertainment.' Chris thought to himself. He then opened another letter which had no name on it.

"Now this is weird." Chris said to himself out loud as he looked over the other side for at least a symbol. "Hmm. I guess I should look at it anyways. I am a king after all so I should no matter what." With that he looked at the letter.

Dear King Chris

You my not know me, but 'we' have heard of you, and your war against the bastard King Dainn. Just listen before you burn this letter, we have info on the insides, and outsides of the stronghold in the capital where Dainn is most of the time. We need your support if we what to liberate our caribou brothers, and sisters from that monster. I will send over a caribou spy into your private room to hand you information on the caribou's next attack, and it will not be the minotaurs this time. No, it will begin at the griffon kingdom in 5 days the moment you receive the letter, for the sake of our race, please help us, you are our only hope.

Signed a ally rebel

"Wow." Chris exclaimed as he still held the letter in his hands. "So there is a rebellion inside the caribou empire, this might be what I need now."

Chris then opened another letter, and this one is from Dragon Lord Ember of the Dragon Kingdom.

Dear King Chris of the Zebra Empire

I Ember praise you for your heroic deeds to aid our friends in their despite hour against Dainn's impossible army. This now won the respect of my race, and we will aid you in the north slowing down the enemy if possible. Also, I will send out my own top General to your city, so tell your guards that a Dragon General is coming, and don't open fire. While I also want you to have a gift, which will arrive at your castle tomorrow with my general, and his troops carrying it to you, use it well.

Signed Ember The Dragon Lord

Chris read the last letter, he then walked towards his harem chamber to be greeted by his soon to be brides of a king.

"Hello your highness!" The girls said in delight as Glider flew straight at Chris smothering him in her chest.

"Oh, my king it has been a long time, have you missed me?" Glider cooed as she rubbed her neck against Chris' making him blush in the process. After that he pushed Glider away gently to the side, as he stood in front of everyone to announce his plans for the next 2 weeks.

"Alright, ladies listen up!" Chris said making them listen in attention. "I have news for all of us, but mostly me. Cause we will be expecting visitors from the Dragon Kingdom, and the Minotaur Kingdom as well." This perked up their ears, especially Flora.

"Why would the Minotaurs, and Dragons come here?" Flora asked as she was curious.

"Because Flora." Chris said looking back at her. "Your father wanted to send herb medicine to help you, if needed, and for the Dragons. They are coming here to give me a gift for helping the Minotaur, which won their favor, and they will help us in our war against the caribou." The ladies cheered in happiness for getting help from the other nations, Glider flew up with pride.

"Yeah!" Glider yelled. "That will teach those elks, and I hope the Dragons roast their sorry asses!"

"Oh, before I forget there is something very important that I need to tell you Glider." Chris said as Glider turned towards him.

"What is it my king?" She asked as she landed in front of him.

"I got good news, and bad news." Chris said causing Glider to turn pale, with a fearful look on her face.

"What happened? Did my father say something?" She asked looking like she was having a heart attack.

"No Glider, but it involves him as well."

"Well, what's the good news?"

"The good news is that your father wants us to go to the castle to participate in a ceremony of our marriage in 10 days."

This caused Glider to smile so wide that her cheeks were hurting as she tackled Chris in excitement.

"Ohhhh! This is a dream come true my king, and we will have the best wedding ever!" Glider squealed as she kissed Chris on the lips right in front of the others, and some of them had jealous looks on their faces.

"Ahem!" Mango snorted rudely making Glider let go of Chris.

"Ok, so what's the bad news?" Glider asked in worry, as Chris looked at her.

"Well, I got a letter from a rebel within the Caribou Empire, and told me the Caribou plan to attack your kingdom with a force greater than the on that attacked the minotaurs." Chris said causing her to sweat like crazy hearing this, so did the others.

"What gave the Caribou the right to attack my home land?!" Glider shouted in anger clinching her claws together.

"I know Glider I know!" Chris said calming her down. "But thanks to the rebel notifying me, we would never know of the Caribou's plans, we have to trust them on this!"

"Ok, I will trust the rebels." Glider said finally calmed down. "But I don't want to hear another word about the Caribou."

"I understand Glider, also thanks to Celestia, and her crystals, we can teleport to the capital before the Caribou do." Chris said as he pulled them out of his pocket showing them to everyone in the room. "But for now, we wait, and I will be off in 2 days to the minotaur capital for a tournament coming up, and I will apply my strongest elephant warrior to challenge King Iron Hoof's champion."

This caused Floras ears to perk up, but before she had a chance to say anything, Chris left the room with the ladies there. So after he left Glider, and Mango turned towards each other with angry looks on their faces.

"He is my husband, you large waste of good hay!" Glider snarled at Mango

"Correction, he is 'our' husband." Mango snapped back not backing down, as she stood above Glider. "And you will obey the laws of our kingdom, you half chicken half pussy cat!"

"WHY YOU!" Glider roared in a rage readying her talons. "I HOPE YOU LIKE LIVING WITHOUT A FAT ASS, CAUSE I WILL HACK THEM OFF WITH MY BARE CLAWS!" She then charged towards Mango, and Mango was charging straight for Glider in an angry stamped. However the two were stopped by a Giraffe in between them.

"STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU!" Puzzle ordered, and the two stopped their attacks. However them still stared at each other with angry looks, not taking eyes off one another. "As Mango said before Glider, we have to wait till he comes up with a decision to choose his queen first, now make his harem mates fight over him. And mango, you know better than pick a fight with someone, your better than this. I suggest you both shake hands, and call it off, understand?"

Glider than looked at Mango, who also shared the same look offered her talons to Mango.

"Truce?" Glider said in disgust

"Truce." Mango said holding her breath as they shock. "And my the better female become the king's favorite." She finished with a smirk.

"Same goes for me." Glider said who also smirked.

"Urg!" Puzzle said to herself. "I hope his majesty chooses a queen soon, these other females are annoying like children."

Meanwhile inside Canterlot Castle

In the streets of Canterlot at night looked so peaceful in the dark, but a few hooded figures were hiding as one of the figures we talking to one another.

"Listen." One of the hooded figures said. "The only reason I'm doing this is cause this 'zebra king' has to go, or he is going to be a problem in the future."

"I know, but what if Celestia catches wind of our plans?" Another figure asked.

"The old windbag don't know squat!" Snapped the hooded figure as he pulled off revealed to be a unicorn stallion with a blonde mane. "This human must die for the sake of Equestria, or else it is doomed, and it will be my sorry excuse of an aunts fault for not listening to me. Are the invasion plans for Griffonstone set?"

"Yes Prince Blueblood." The other hooded figured to revealed to be a Caribou with a one eye. "After we rule Equestria, you can have any mare you want to have your son with."

"All I want right now is to put my aunts in their place, and kill that human for interfering in our plans to make this world truly free from mares. I will final have my way at life, and not be judged for what I say or do anymore. Equestria will be free from mares, as stallions take their rightfully places as true ruler, and final I will become King Blueblood and nopony is going to stop me." Blueblood said as he handed the papers to the one eyed Caribou.

"Ah." The one eyed Caribou said as he then felt a sharp pain to his left eye, which was no longer there. "Damn that human. I will have his balls as a trophy, and hang it on the wall."

"I know your pain General, and after this is over, you can have your revenge as will I." Blueblood said as he walked away from General Horn Crush. "Chris you will not live to see the new dawn rising from the north." He finished with a smirk on his face.
