I hummed a tune as I floated above the castle Pinkie, kicking her legs over the side of Chastiefol's pillow form.
"Meliodas!"
I opened my eyes, turned over to look over the side, and watched Luna fly up to Pinkie and me. I smiled and watched her as she flew up and landed on Chastiefol. She looked a little worried as she looked down at me. "Ya?"
"We've just gotten word that Blueblood will be returning in an hour. We believe he may be unaware of the change of power. He's going to be angry, and he's bringing some powerful mare from the eastern continent."
"What kind of power are we talking about?"
She rubbed her arm then spoke up as she looked at me.
"Summoning and controlling monster as familiars."
She looked like she was leaving something out, so I sat up and looked at her. "You're not telling me something, Luna." She looked scared but sighed as she started to talk again.
"The guest that's coming with him is a powerful zebra shaman. She's very skilled for her young age."
I nodded, then laid back down. "I see, so let me guess Blueblood is sleeping with her?"
"No, I've heard of this mare she's waiting to find a stallion an elderly shaman saw in a vision. We don't know anything about him besides that he will stand above all others and would be completely unrivaled. Truth be told, we fear the day he comes."
I nodded, thinking over that, nodding my head as I sighed as I sat up, and then wrapped an arm around Pinkie Pie.
"Aw, come on, Melly let's stay up here for a little longer."
I laughed, pulling her close, and wrapped my other arm under her knees, and then moved my other hands to her shoulders. "No, we need to get ready to welcome him and kick him out if half of what I've overheard from the maids is correct. I jumped down Luna closed behind as Chastiefol flew down behind me in spear form. I landed on the spear shaft and surfed the air as we fell. Pinkie laughed as I fell to the ground then turned banking to the right, and I could hear popping in my head from the sudden drop. Once we were near the castle grounds, I jumped and landed on the top of the wall with a giggling Pinkie in my arms. I hopped down and set her on her hoofs, then to mu surprise Pinkie kissed my cheek then bounced off humming a tune.
"Cute."
I looked back at Luna and nodded my head as I crossed my arms as I looked at her. "What can I say, I think she's cute went she acts that way." Luna laughed then walked over with a sway in her hips. I nodded then grabbed her waist, surprising her as I lifted her and sat her down on my shoulder. She blushed, and I laughed a little as I started to walk to the castle Luna, holding my shoulder as I walked. "So, is Celestia settling back into her room, okay?" I looked up at Luna as her wings fluffed as she looked down at me.
"She's fine Meliodas, in fact, her option of you is starting to get better."
I laughed a little then jumped onto the lower end of the left end of the roof. "Your room was in the second tower, right?"
"Well, one of the more times then not, I sleep in my Observatory on the back of the mountain."
I nodded then looked up at the tower seeing a large the large balcony with what black and blue stones. "That one, right?" I pointed up to it, and she nodded then I jumped up to the balcony. I grabbed ahold of the side, and then Luna jumped off my shoulder, then I threw myself over and landed on my feet. "So, what do I need to know about Blueblood?" Luna frowned as she looked at me then nodded her head.
"He's is the distant nephew on our mother's side, about 52 times removed, roughly I believe. So, it may be distant, but he does have a claim to the throne, or he did. Once you defeated us, your blood like took full claim to the throne of Equestria."
I nodded, then another thought crossed my mind. "Say, what about Princess Cadence?" A smile formed on her face as she looked at me.
"Cadence is the adopted niece of my sister and myself. She's also the heiress to another lost kingdom. But, that's too much to explain right now, Meliodas. We need to plan for went we have to tell Blueblood he's lost his claim."
I nodded as we walked into the room, and I saw the room was similar to Celestia's room, but her bed was more like the medieval age. She walked over and sat down on Chastiefol's pillow form. I crossed my arms and legs then looked at Luna as she played with her shirt. "Say, can you get Celestia here?"
"Sure."
Her horned glowed, then a second later, Celestia appeared in a flash. She was in the boar hat uniform, and I laughed as she looked at me a frown on her face, but there was no I'll kill you in her eyes. I smiled, then she walked over to the bed and sat down with Luna. I laughed a little more then I turned Chastiefol and spoke. "Summon something else Celestia I mainly made you wear that to get a rise out of you. But, now, I don't need to do that since we're getting along better now." She was quiet for a second, and then a bright flash came from behind me before she spoke up.
"You turn around, and I'll blast you with a thunderbolt."
I laughed and then nodded my head as I looked at the bookshelves. I flew over to them and looked at the titles. I found one title herbs and cure. I smiled as I took it off the sleeve then opened to the first page, to see the index.
"Luna, I need you to get Glemming ready as soon as we finish here."
I ignored this then started to turn through the book to get to the magic herbs.
"Okay, Meliodas."
I turned back around then looked at her seeing the same dress I gave her on the train. I hmmed then started to read the page. "So, tell me what options we have." Celestia sat down and rested her hands on her lap as she looked at me.
"Well, I've come to a deal I think would be best."
"I think the best route is to make him a duke. It's still part of the royal family, but his claim will be even weaker."
"Double if you have a foal with any of us. That foal will become the crowned Princess or prince."
I nodded as I closed the book before looking at Luna. "So, what you're saying is we'll have to desk with a soon to be pissed Prince. Who we're about to make a duke, so he's still in a place of power but much less of it." She nodded, then I sighed as I closed my eyes then laid back down. I opened my eyes back up then nodded my head as I looked at the roof. "Okay, that sounds good, but you both know he's not going to take this well. Plus, we need to deal with this zebra mare. A summoner who may think she's going to join his court. We may have a fight on our hands if something goes down."
"Yes, but all we can do is wait to see what is going to happen."
Luna's words were right as we had no way of knowing what she could summon, so it would be a waste of time to plan around it. We were waiting around in Luna's room to read the book, and the two of them talked about the economy before a horn blew. I closed the book, then put it back then pulled the two on before flying out the window. As we flew down, I saw a carriage with a small wagon train behind them. I slowed us down as we started to reach the ground. I stopped us, then they quickly got off, and I jumped down then turned Chastiefol back into a spear that floated behind me. Luna leaned into my right side, and I smiled a little as she did. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder as the head carriage pulled to a stop. A few seconds later, a guard in a white set of armor walked up and opened the door as other guars lined up as if this was an honor guard. Then the most spoiled looking brat I'd ever seen walked up with the look of the most self-entitled loom I'd ever seen. Then I saw the zebra mare, and I saw shocked at the bombshell she was. She was maybe as tall as Pinkie Pie with a similar hairstyle. But, her figure was slim and had a beautiful set of round and firm looking hips. She was wearing a red bikini with gold wrist bands and a large staff with a set of deer antlers on the top.

I stared at her for a second before a hoof slammed down on my right foot. I hissed a little as Luna grabbed my arms as tight as she could.
"Meliodas, your eyes are wondering."
"It's so good to be home, Aunty Celestia, Aunty Luna."
I laughed a little as the two walked up to me, and the prince looked at me as if I was nothing but a plaything.
"And, who is this Aunty Luan? Your new pet."
My anger spiked, and I slowly took a breath then looked at Celestia. "Celestia, get these two to the throne room I'll be along soon."
"What do you think you're doing telling my Aunty what to do!?"
I ignored him then turned my back on him as I started to walk, breaking Luna's hold on my arm. "I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Meliodas!"
"I'll be back, don't worry, Luna."
I jumped, and Chastiefol flew under me as I fell back onto the center of the spear. I turned my head as I started to fly up, seeing the shocked look on his face. The mare, on the other hand, looked interested in what I may be doing. I flew straight up and stopped before having a look around the castle as something didn't feel right. I looked around the city and the mountain but didn't notice anything or see anyone moving around. I narrowed my eyes then looked back down at the wagons seeing more Zebras. They looked to be younger mare and a few colts near the back. I sighed then nodded my head as I started to head back down. 'Something isn't right.' I dropped to the ground a few seconds later, and I watched as Blueblood walked up to me and held a hand out.
"I'll be taking that spear now."
I laughed as I looked at him, making him frown. "You can't use Chastiefol, only someone worthy of the title king. I can tell just by looking at you, Chastiefol will not deem you worthy." I looked down at him, and he snarled back up at me.
"GIVE ME!"
I threw Chastiefol down on him, binning him to ground. I didn't want to crush him like I did Rainbow's hand, so I held a finger up stopped all the weight from dropping down but enough to get my point across. "I told you, you weren't worthy of Chastiefol." he struggled to try and lift Chastiefol, but I kept him pinned, and then he looked back at the mare.
"DO SOMETHING BUCKING ZEBRA!"
I turned to look at her as she smiled at me.
"Fine."
She raised her staff, and her eyes turned green with an evil smile on her face. My eyes widened as she slammed the but of the staff back into the ground. A blast of air came from the ground as a massive black circle formed under her. 'Um, so this may have been planned.' Black lightning cracker around the black circle, then it rose up, making a massive orb in the air. It started to take shape as I watched as Celestia and Luna readied for a fight.
"MELIODAS!"
I raised a hand as I watched the beast start to form. "You two go to the castle to protect the staff and the girls I want to see what this leads to. Soon two long arms shot out with three huge claws at the end. A few seconds later, four-horse legs came out with metal hoofs flew down, cracking the ground as a horse head flew out with a massive bone jaw with a side jaw of metal with red markings. Lastly, a human-like skeleton came out with the same metal-like items in the chest of the thing with all the lower ribs in full view with arrows with what I think we're throwing spears in its back.

"Damn."
It roared as more symbols burned themselves into the beast, but I noticed something as it roared. The roar sounded like⦠"crying?" I spoke in a low voice as the mare pointed at me.
"Destroy him!"
The beast roared as it started to charge me. I jumped back as it slammed its arm down like a whip. The claws dug deep into the ground. 'Um, well, I guess I should see what this body can really do.' I darted to the right, then slammed a punch into the beast's side and threw it back into a side all about forty meters away. It pulled itself free a few seconds later, then charged me, arms crossed over its chest. I watched as if in slow motion as flames came from its arm with the claws turning bright yellow from the heat. I smiled as I made the black and purple flames cover my hands. I locked my two middle fingers together, and I grabbed onto the clawed hands my black and purple burnt out the flames it made. It screamed out as I turned to start to spin on my heel. I took the beast off its hoofs, then turned suddenly, slammed it into the ground, and saw ribs cracking and breaking off. I grabbed hold of its right arm then threw it over my head, slamming it back into the ground head first. The horse head slammed into the ground so hard. I kicked the front of the horse chest and sent it skidding across the ground until it crashed into the caste wall.
"Meliodas!"
I turned, seeing Glemming came running with two sets of guards. One set was in gold armor and purple armor. I jumped to the side as the arm whip was thrown my way again. I landed beside Glemming as the monster started to get back on its hoofs while looking at me.
"Buck me, is that a Nuckelavee?!"
I shrugged as I put my fist up before forming the gauntlets I when I beat down Glemming. "Don't know, never fought a demon like this one, but it can take a real beating. Most things I hit like this dead after two or three hits. This Nuckelavee thing has taken six so far, and I have to say I'm impressed with." It charged us, and I grabbed Glemming's chest plate then spoke as it got close. "Stay out of this, its mine!" I threw her back into the other mares before slamming into the horse's chest. I forced it onto its hoofs then pushed it back. I smiled, then started to mix in my darkness. I opened to black circles on my back; then, two dark hands came out. They grabbed onto the head of the horse's head and the lower chest of the human. "Let's take this out of the city!" I jumped into the air and formed the wings I'd been using to fly with Rainbow every now and then. I turned and started a nose dive for the valley under the city. I threw the Nuckelavee as hard as I could the extra arms giving me more power into the throw. It crashed down into the valley, kicking up a massive dust cloud. I flew into the valley while the darkness moved from my shoulders to cover my arms and chest. 'Damn, why didn't they just have Meliodas fight like this!" I came out of the dust cloud as it got to its hoofs. It looked at me, and I slammed my double-sized fist right into its human face. I felt the horns crack as the head flew back. It sent it flying back into the rock face breaking it on impact. Then an ungodly roar came from the beast as it came running out covered in flames as it ran at me the black holes of its eyes as it ran at me. I smiled as I flapped my wings taking off as it fled its arms around, trying to strike me as I flew around just out of its range.
"Meliodas!"
I flew higher as Luna flew down in the armor she wore when I fought her and Celestia. She had a sword on each of her sides and flew down to me as the beast screamed and roared at us. She looked at my arms and laughed. Then, the darkness absorbed back into my body as I looked down at the Nuckelavee. "I'm letting you in on this, Luna. I want to finish this fight since it's been a while. I haven't had a real fight in so long." I dived down after I finish taking grabbing the right arm before kicking the horse head. I knocked the lower jaw off the with the metal of the right side if it's head.
"MELIODAS!"
I looked up, but as I did both, the arms wrapped around me as I tried to turn my head as I jumped back. I covered my body in darkness as flames erupted around me. I felt the flames burning my darkness, and I could feel a few burns right where the arms were wrapped around me. I threw my legs up and slammed my heels into the sides of the horse head. I used all the strength in my legs, knocking us to the ground. It didn't let go of me, making its grip tighter as we started rolling around on the ground. I blew up my darkness and broke the arms free, letting me slide out from and jumped up from the roll. I stood up slightly, breathing with my shoulders.
"Meliodas!"
I threw my arm back a whip of darkness, grabbed ahold of Luna, and sent her into the valley wall. I clenched my fist and stuck her there as I watched this thing getting back to its hoofs. "Okay, I've had enough of this." I charged, then Kuckelavee arm pulled back. I formed a spearhead out of my darkness, then rammed it into the chest of the horse and grabbed hold of the heart, and I held the beating mass in the palm of my hand, but I couldn't do it. I looked up at the human face seeing genuine fear as it looked back down at me frozen as it looked at me. I frowned then clenched my free fist as I spoke up as I looked at the Nuckelavee. "Don't make me regret." I used my darkness to bust my fingers open, getting my blood flowing. I turn my hands into claws and stabbed them into the heart. It screamed as the red symbols glowed again. After a few seconds, I pulled my fingers free and jumped away as the red symbols vanished, and darkness started to cover it. I jumped back up to Luna and slammed my hand into the valley wall. I grabbed Luna's arm freeing her, and I pulled her from the wall, and I threw her on my back. She wrapped her arms around my neck as we watched the Nuckelavee start to change shape and size.

We waited for a few minutes until the darkness disappeared as the body fell to the ground. I jumped back down and landed in front of the now every human-looking body. Some arrows were still in the back. Luna let go of me and walked over and used my darkness to turn the body over. I was shocked to see two huge tits on the chest of the humanized demon. There was a mask on her face with horns on the top, and she had light brown skin with red and white hair. She had a bikini on with a tiny lower half. She still had ribs showing but not as many as before. Her legs were that of the horse, and the long arms were now something, like sleeves wrapped around her real arms. I looked at her stomach and was a horse head like brand right above her waistline.
"What did you do?"
I kneeled down before she could wake up and removed all the arrows from her back before picking her like a bride. "She looked at me with fear and terror in her eyes. I've fought real demons; they don't have such emotions. So, I wounded myself to get my blood flowing and feed it straight into her heart. I've never done that before, but it seems to have evolved on several levels."
"Evolved?"
I formed my wings then nodded for her to follow me. She did, and we flew up as I started to explain. "The bigger and more threatening looking demons are usually less intelligent. They are low class or low-level demons depending on how you see it. I'm one of the highest levels, so by giving her my blood, I've given her the power to reason and, most likely, the power of speech. I think those marks that formed on her forced her to listen to the zebra mare."
"But, I thought you hated demons?"
I nodded as we started to fly back down to the castle. When we landed, we sat, and the zebra was cuffed on the ground. All the other guards were handcuffed, and Blueblood was where I left him still trying to get free of the weight. I laughed then nodded my head as I started to walk to the castle. "Once I get her into a bed, I'll be back." I walked off as Luna ran up behind me.
"What are you playing at? I thought you hated demons, Meliodas!"
I smiled then nodded my head as I walked ahead of her. "I don't remember saying those words to anyone Luna. I just can't stand demons who can't control themselves. This woman may have very well been forced into fighting with me." Luan nodded, then walked around in front of me and looked at the mask. I stopped, and she reached up to her face, but her eyes snapped open, and she screamed as she threw her arms up. Her fist connected with my lower jaw, and I dropped her as I grabbed my jaw and tasted iron as I looked down at the scared woman. She crawled away from me with fear in her eyes as she looked up at me.
"N-no m-m-more!"
She could barely talk as she quickly got behind Luna and hugged her legs. Luan looked shocked as she looked back down at her. I kneeled down, seeing her red eyes with red tears trying not to fall. I waved my hands down as I looked at her and smiled. "It's okay; it's okay." She looked at me from behind Luna's legs, and I reached up and held a hand out to her like you would a scared stray. "Fights over miss. I promise I won't attack you again." She looked at me for a second then slowly lifted her arm, then I slowly took her hand. I smiled as I looked at her and gave me a slight look of concern on her face. I helped her back onto her hoofs, and she looked up at me, then I reached for her mask. She flinched, but I grabbed her mask then pulled it off her face. Behind the masl was the face of a teen girl with skin so soft looking you'd think it was silk. I smiled, then moved the hair out of her face, and she watched the hair as it moved as if it shocked her a little. She looked down at her body, seeing her hands and lower body. Luna put a hand on her shoulder, and she looked at her, and she saw the smile on Luna's face.
"Don't worry. I promise you'll be safe now."
A small smile formed on her lips, and I saw a mouth full of fangs. 'Oh, this will be interesting to deal with.' I let her hand go, then she pressed it to her chest as she looked at me. "Do you have a name?" She shook her head, and I smiled as I looked at her. "Well, I guess I have to come up with to give you."
