Mark of the Ancients

Chapter 5 Knowing the Sharklantean's

Starlight Glimmer had been asleep next to Creature for so long, as he was also asleep. All the other mare's who had the Sharklantean's that marked them, went home, bringing said Sharklantean's with them. She continued to get her rest, until Creature unexpectedly woke up. "RRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" The Sharklantean screamed, jerking Starlight Glimmer awake.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" She screamed falling back into her chair, as Creature began to speak, and panic.

"WHERE AM I, WHAT'S GOING ON WHOOOOO TIEEEEEEEDDDD MEEEEEEE UP IN CHAIN'S RRRRRRRRRRRRRR, DAGNAB IT, RELEASE ME AT ONCE!!!!!!!!!!" Creature snarled, thrashing around trying to get free.

"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA EASY, EASY CALM DOWN, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK!!!!!" Starlight Glimmer spoke up, as Creature began to slowly settle down noticing Starlight.

"W-who are you, can you tell me why I'm tied up?" Creature asked.

"My name is Starlight Glimmer, you were tied up because you attacked our Sunset Festival when you were in your frenzied state" Starlight explained. At that moment Creature stopped struggling, and hung his head down in defeat.

"I remember, I tried to fight it, I tried to snap out of it, I couldn't snap out of my instinct, now I can feel the loss of some Sharklantean's, my time for our people's extinction has come" Creature sighed sadly.

"No, you'll be fine, the Princesses are only letting you go because of me, you marked me as your mate" Starlight Glimmer told him, showing his mark on her forehead, Creature groaned, as he banged the back of his Sharklantean head back into the wall.

"Dagnabit Dagga Dang it, my species shouldn't be here, your the only one who decided to keep me calm, when I shouldn't have marked you, and now there are no large portion's of meat, that can be served in the pony land, my people will die of starvation" Creature groaned, relaxing in his chain's. Starlight Glimmer approached him, as she gently touched his cheek feeling near his jawline.

"I'll figure something out, what's your name?" Starlight asked, as Creature let out a sigh.

"Creature" Creature sighed, as Starlight gave him a nice smile.

"You can come live with me for the mean time Creature, here" Starlight Glimmer smiled, as she untied Creature, as he thanked her as he followed her to Twilight's Castle, while she led him to her personal quarter's. As Starlight Glimmer explained who she was, and what she did for a living, Creature also told her who he was, and what he had been doing hiding with his people. Starlight was very interested in his story, and soon the two found themselve's laughing, and enjoying each others company.

Creature had asked her where his Sharklantean's were, and she explained to that some her friend's, are with his friend's, while the other's disappeared. Creature told her that he needed to find all of the Sharklantean's, and Starlight Glimmer told him that his best bet, was with Godzilla, who for right now was busy. Creature finally decided to get some rest, as he got onto Starlight's bed, and relaxed. Starlight Glimmer then entered her bed with him, as she snuggled him silently.

"Why are you snuggling me?" Creature asked.

"Because your oceanic skin is suprisingly soft" Starlight Glimmer hummed happily, as he blushed a bit before laying his head back. "H-Hey C-Creature?" Starlight stuttered, a small blush forming under his cheek's.

"Yes?" Creature asked. "Can you come to the Grand Galloping Gala with me sometime?" Starlight asked.

"What's the Grand Galloping Gala?" Creature asked.

"I-Its s-sort of l-like a date" Starlight Glimmer blushed harder, as did Creature.

"S-Sure" Creature smiled before starting to take a nap.

Sunset Shimmer began humming happily to herself, as she began setting everything up in her own separate house. Sunset Shimmer only wore that same outfit she had been wearing since the Sunset Festival, the Arabian Princess dress. Sunset Shimmer began putting stuff away, as in her room she heard Ripjaw waking up."UUUUGGGGGGHHHH I have one serious hangover" Ripjaw groaned. Sunset Shimmer then strided herself through the doorway with an almost hypnotized look.

"WHAT DA HEEEEEELLLLL!?!?!?!?!?!?" Ripjaw shouted, in suprise as Sunset Shimmer began to rub her body against Ripjaw's, as she cooed softly.

"Master your Mistress is here, can I have a reward?" Sunset Shimmer cooed seductively.

"Nope I'm out" Ripajw stated, as he prepared to jump out the window, but Sunset Shimmer giggled, as she used her magic to pull him back.

"Calm down silly I was just teasing you, don't worry though If you want I can get you some food" Sunset muttered, as Ripjaw gave her a curious look.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Ripjaw asked.

"Because a friend of mine once taught me the magic of friendship, and for some reason I can't exactly describe it, but I'll feel comfortable around you" Sunset Shimmer explained, as he saw his mark on her forehead.

"That might be what has to deal with it, so how about we take this marked marriage slowly?" Ripjaw asked, as she nodded, as Sunset Shimmer let out a huge breath.

"Oh thank goodness, thank you I was hoping you'd say that" Sunset Shimmer sighed.

"I'm Ripjaw" Ripjaw introduced, as Sunset Shimmer shook his claw.

"I'm Sunset Shimmer" Sunset Shimmer introduced, as both of them began getting comfortable, talking about each other. Eventually Sunset asked him out to the Grand Galloping Gala, as he agreed, as both of them smiled. Sunset Shimmer then showed him around, and helped him eat some food.

Trixie sighed, as she saw Phantom floating around her, curious of her work. To be honest she didn't mind having Phantom around, and she was greatful to have the marking on her head. They had both gotten introduction's, and she honestly liked having him around. "Trixie wishes to ask you a question" Trixie began stating in that third state of sentence she always used, as Phantom smiled.

"What is it your wanting to ask me?" Phantom asked.

"Trixie would appreciate it if you would take her out sometime?" Trixie asked.

"You mean out on a date, sure, I've heard this Grand Galloping Gala is going to take place, are you interested in that?" Phantom asked. Trixie nodded, as he smiled, notifying the date he would take her on.

Meanwhile, Tempest Shadow liked having Atomic's company, and she liked having him around, plus she was wanting to take it slower with him than usual. She had heard of these creature's, and to be honest ever since her part of the Storm King's invasion, she was mostly lonely, but right now she decided to hold her excitement for when the time was right for both her, and Atomic.

Applejack took Mega to her house as she had a long talk with him, and both introduced themselves. Applejack, and Mega were both a bit annoyed about the whole, being marked thing, but to be honest one could easily enjoy it as much as she did. As Applejack went inside with Mega, Applebloom came down with a huge smile on her face. "Is this the Sharklantean you get to marry?" Applebloom asked, as her older sister blushed.

"APPLEBLOOM NOW WHAT DID I TELL YA ABOUT RUMORS!!!!!!!!!!!" Applejack shouted, while blushing a little, but Applebloom ingored her sister as she looked up, and down Mega's body. Applejack was a young age of 24, and her sister Applebloom was 18.

"Oh ah don't know sis, he's kinda big, I wouldn't mind taking him out for a ride myself" Applebloom cooed with half-lidded eyes, as Mega blushed.

"APPLEBLOOM!!!!!!!!!!" Applejack shouted, her face turning crimson, as Applebloom laughed, before acting normal.

"I'm just messin' with ya sis can ah show him around upstairs ah wanna know where he's going to sleep?" Applebloom asked, as Applejack smiled.

"Well Mega which do you wanna pick you can sleep in my room, or you can sleep in Appleblooms room" Applejack asked.

"I thinks it's best for me to sleep in Applebloom's room, one can't be to careful if the other Sharklantean's, are still in frenzied state, they will alway's go for the weakest prey" Mega explained, as Applejack nodded.

"Alright then, you go get yourself set-up, and meet me down here when you want to, I might ask for your help for selling apple's in the Grand Galloping Gala that's coming up" Applejack explained.

"Ooh Applejack can ah come too, he can share our date's with both of us" Applebloom pleaded, with cute adorable eyes.

"Why do you wanna do that sugarcube?" Applejack asked.

"Well I kinda wanna share with what you got going on with him, I wanna get into this whole marked thing" Applebloom pleaded, with a small blush. Applejack looked a bit confused, but Mega understood it perfectly.

"I get what she's trying to say, be careful little Applebloom this may hurt a little" Mega warned, as he crafted the same exact symbol the same way Creature, and the other's had to mark there mate. Applebloom winced a little in pain, but soon got used to it, as Applejack eyes went wide, and was about to complain then stopped.

"Alright fine Applebloom because your a grown woman I'll let this slip by, but do not try to jump him already, let's wait a little before we get to that" Applejack warned.

"Ok" Applebloom smiled, as they all enjoyed Mega's company however there were still 5 Sharklantean's that were un-accoutned for, and still as of this moment had yet to surface.
