I am the Queen

The New Guards

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I've reported to my queen. She gave me nuzzles. They felt so good. It lets me know I am loved. It feels good, and I can feel the emotions from my Queen through her telepathy. The feeling of her love, and her pride in what I did in the empire, felt like a parent giving a hug because you won second place in a science fair, but they dont care, they love you so much and they will let you know it.

It felt so good, I could have stayed there for hours basking in her love. But I had work to do, and I needed to talk to the princesses about the guard captain. Leaving the Queens chamber, I run through the caverns again, back to the doors to the castle. I have changed my clothes to something less intimidating, but it would still intimidate if needed.

It was a set of light armor, with the only plate armor being on my arms. It had multiple straps that wound around my body, and a leather chest piece that held my breasts. I also had my sword still.

I exited the caverns, and the guards standing by the doors look at me. Two immediately break off from the formation of six, and follow me silently as I walk through the castle to the princesses.

Reaching the throne room, I see that there is a long line of nobles though. And more nobles milling about besides.

Deciding to forgo the wait, I turn to my two followers.

"Thank you. I can go from here." The two guards nod, and turn back down the hall we came. I turn to the closest wall, and look for one of the heating and cooling vents that are scattered throughout the castle. Finding it, I jump on the wall silently, and crawl over and into it.

Crawling through the vent is easy, and the closed space so close to me is something that doesnt even cross my mind.

I make my way through, and take a turn, as I look behind me and see Jun following me. I continue on for a few more feet, and come to a square piece of metal covering a hole. Its another vent. I look through it, and see the throne room. So, I lift the piece of metal, and crawl through, Jun following, and scampering to deeper shadows.

I crawl along the ceiling, looking at the proceedings. I can see a pony talking to Celestia, who looks regal, but her eyes said that she would rather be anywhere but on her throne at the moment. I looked around the room, at the guards, and smelled that one of them smelt like Luna. I was curious.

I crawled down the wall behind the guardsmare, a beautiful Pegasus mare with light blue fur, and dark blue mane. I pick her up with my tail, while bringing her to me. I shushed her quickly, and gave a quick sniff.

She smelt of sex. I grin, and put my finger to my lips. She nods, and I put her back down. She gets back in her position, and I crawl to the center of the room, over the pontificating noble in front of Celestia.

But I know this noble.

Gold Bit. My father. I hiss, letting the sound fill the air of the throne room. My brothers and sisters join me, and our hissing fills the room quickly. Celestia does a good job of not looking disturbed by our intimidation, and I get no scent of fear from her, but I do get relief.

The guards look around the room, trying to find the source of the sound. I slowly come down behind the princess's throne, and crawl over the back of it, slightly wrapping my tail around Celestia. When the guards see me, they freak. My father does too, and cries out.

"What is that Abomination! Guards, kill it, before it does something to the princess!" He says. I just smile.

Before laughing. Celestia just sighs, before slightly smirking.

"Nightshade, you know better than that. You know your supposed to make your entrance known." I am now giggling, at the guards and my father's reaction to Celestia scolding me.

"Yes, Mother." I say, pouring sarcasm into the word in good nature. Celestia shakes her head.

"Nightshade, what has the Queen sent you here for? Is something wrong?" I shake my head.

"Nothing I can say in front of the nobles." She nods.

"Gold Bit, please leave us. I must talk with the Queens emmisary about private matters." Gold gets indignant.

"What is this Queen you speak of? And how do you know this abomination?" I hiss, and my tail flicks in irritation, swaying around behind me. I have half a mind to pull my axe out, and cut his head off. Celestia puts her hoof out to stop me.

"Nightshade, no. Gold Bit, the Queen is underneath Canterlot. She is the Queen of the Xenomorphs. This is her emmisary, as given to her by myself and Luna. She had her changed into what you see, so that she may speak for the Queen as her voice to us. Mistreat her, and the Queen will destroy us. Do I make myself clear?" My father looks scared at me. I hiss, and pull back my lips to show my teeth, purely carnivorous and sharp as diamonds.

Gold Bit backs up a bit, fear dripping off him visibly and I can smell it too.

"Are you sure it shouldn't be killed? It looks as though the creature wants to kill me." I snort.

"Because I do." Celestia stomps her hoof.

"ENOUGH!" she yells, making us all stop.

"Gold Bit, before you start a slaughter of our people, I will tell you to leave. Do so now, and you will not be imprisoned for almost starting a war. Nightshade, never do that again, and I will not have you barred from the castle. I understand that you know the policies that we have regarding ambassadors, but you also know that I do not make that threat lightly." Gold Bit gulps, and nods, before turning and running out the throne room. I nod to Celestia.

"I am sorry, princess. It will not happen again." I say. I will not allow for any other creature to be mothers voice. I stop.

I called her mother. Again, I called her mother when fighting Sombra. Well, thats fine. She is my mother. She is more of a mother than the pony that birthed me to begin with. She gave me a new life, and purpose. I will not fail my mother. I think to myself.

"Now, what have you come for, Nightshade? You wouldnt be here without reason, I assume." Celestia says. I nod.

"Yes. I came to tell you about what I did in the empire, and to ask you to update your guards on who the newest ambassador is. The guards at the gate earlier today, tried to detain me the sergeant on duty, told the others in his squad to attack, and disnt listen. He was also blatantly specieist towards me. It wasnt good, and I know the guards are trained better than that. I helped to train them." The guards present in the room, are looking at me now with a new light. They look to be trying to figure out who I am, or rather, who I used to be. I just flick my tail at them.

"Look at them, they dont even realize they could die in five seconds from Jun, walking up behind them." To which Jun was actually behind them.

They all spun around, and aimed their spears at Jun. He screeches at them, and jumps onto the wall, scrambling up to the ceiling, into one of the shadows. A Pegasus goes up to check the area, sweeping through it with his spear, but he can't find anything. I just shake my head, and look back to Celestia.

Celestia sighs as she looks at me.

"I will have somepony check who the sergeant at the gate is, and talk to him personally. Then, I will have a meeting with the captain's, and have them tell their troops who you are, and give them a revised list of ambassadors. And finally, thank you for interrupting, oh dear mother of me, that was the most boring thing to have to go through." As she finishes her talk, she slumps down into her throne, deflating. Her regal look turns to that of a tired mother who's done with everything today. Understood, and walk to her.

I then reach down, and start to scratch behind her ears. My Queen has told me to try that, and see what happens. I do as she told me, rub gently, almost like a massage, but with my "fingernails" in the mix. As long as I dont try to claw her head, it should apparently be pleasurable to her, along the lines of a massage.

It was also, apparently, working. Mother was right. Celestia started to moan in relief as I "scritched", as mother put it, behind her ears.

"Oh, Nightshade, keep your paw, hoof, whatever, there, and keep doing that. It feels good." She mutters. I giggle. She looks to be melting.

"Its a hand. And the things doing the deed are fingers." She just grunts, and I giggle again. Sweet Celestia this is funny. I pull back, and she moves with my hand. Its so funny. I soon just stop.

"Noooo, I want some more!" She says lazily. I giggle some more. It was adorable.

"Celestia, no. No more scritches for you. Besides, your a princess. You need to keep decorum. Also, we need to bring the nobles back in and finish with them. I'll be heading to the training grounds. I want to check on the guards training." Celestia laughs.

"Still the diligent lieutenant I see. Even if you've been moved to a new position, you always help the guards get better." I shrug.

"What can I say, I like beating the guards." And I head off. I can sense Jun following me. As I make my way through the halls, I see maids and butler's jump out of my way. They look scared.

I sigh, and think about the guards are that smelt of Luna and sex. Specifically, Luna's fluids. As one of her guards, during heat season, it wasn't uncommon for me to smell either of the princesses fluids. And having heightened senses, including smell, I can smell them out of heat too. So smelling that mare and Luna's scent on her was interesting. I just smile, Luna finally got herself a playmate.

I finally reach the training ground, and as soon as I enter, everypony there stops moving, and looks at me. The only one who doesn't look at me with fear and disgust, which is the more prevalent of the two, considering most of the guard is playboys playing dressup, is the captain of the guard.

Lightning Bolt is a strong stallion, a pegasus, with a lightning bolt striking the ground as his cutie mark. He has yellow fur, and gold mane. One of the reasons he is captain is that Shining appointed him, he's a smart tactician who doesn't take shit from anypony, and he can control lightning. He can shoot it from his wings. He is the only other pony I know who still know who I am.

"Ambassador Nightshade, to what do we owe the pleasure?" I look at him.

"You know why Lightning. I want to practice. I can't afford to get careless and rusty. Especially now. So, I came to do some training." He is smirking, knowing what I am going to do.as he gets a little closer to me, he says lightly.

"Really Harvest? Is that all?" He says. I roll my eyes, smiling.

"Maybe I just want to beat some guards up too. That's just a bonus." He chuckles, and turns to all the recruits on the field.

"Alright you fucks, get in formation or I'll slap you so fucking hard it'll feel like you kissed a train!" He yells, and all the trainees scramble to make formation. They take a minute. Too slow. I speak up.

"That was way to slow. You took a minute to get in formation. It should take thirty seconds or less. I am disappointed that this is what I come back to." Lightning is just smiling.

"You heard her. So, what should be their punishment for taking so long?" I smile. I have a great idea.

"How about a group battle simulation. Me, against all of them. If I win, I get to train them for one week. If they win, they get a week off, and better food than the current rations. The goal is to incapacitate me. My goal, is to capture all of them." Lightning actually is shocked at that. So are the recruits.

I was just smiling. This would be fun.

"Nightshade, you sure about this? Fifty guards against just you." I look at him, shocked.

"Fifty guards! Damn, thats worse than I thought." I say, putting my hand to my chin. Lightning nods.

"Yeah, are you sure you want to do this?" I look back to him.

"Oh, no, I'm fine. I was just thinking it was worse for them. They dont have near enough to catch me. We start in thirty seconds. That gives me plenty of time to hide. Anypony I capture, I will bring back here. They are not allowed to rejoin trying to catch me." I then turn, and run to the nearest wall, before leaping, and grabbong on. I then crawl into the shadows, and say.

"START!" Immediately, the guards come after me. They head straight towards the shadow I just crawled into.

Only thing is, I'm not there. I'm on the other side of the room. I leap down from the wall, and walk out the door, calling over my shoulder as I go.

"By the way, this is only limited to the castle. I will not leave the castle grounds, in any way, shape or form." They all look, and see me walk out the door.

I only have a few seconds before they all swarm out the door, so I crawl to the nearest vent, and inside. Seconds later, the door opens and a flood of recruits comes out, trying to find me. Lots of them pass by me, but a few are smart, and realize I couldnt have gotten to far in the amount of time it took them to exit the training area.

I smile, as I am already having fun. A few of the stragglers pass by my vent, near the floor, and when the last pony is heading by, I jump out the vent, grab them, knock them out, and drag them back into the vent. I then take them back to the training room, and drop them off at Lightnings hooves.

He just looks at me, and sighs.

"Harvest, your never going to make things easy for me are you?" I giggle.

"Nope. But you know this is good training. If they dont capture me by the end of the day, I win. Agreed?" He nods.

"Agreed." I smile, and head off. I got some hunting to do.

I have gotten thirty. They are becoming aware of my tactics, hiding in the vents and attacking as they go past. I have started to ambush them from the ceiling vents too.

It's been fun. I only have about twenty more to go. I was preparing to ambush a lone guard, who had wandered into the throne room. She was talking to Celestia.

"Your Highness, have you seen the Ambassador Nightshade recently?" Celestia looks confused.

"She was here earlier, but I haven't seen her since she went to the training grounds. Why?" The guard recruit looks conflicted, but answers.

"She gave the recruits a challenge. We have until the end of the day to capture her. If we do, we get a week off, and better rations. If she captures all fifty of the recruits, she trains us for a week, and we have to do what she says." Celestia eyes widen, before she smirks.

"Yes, that seems like something she would do. Nightshade, please come down from the ceiling. It's rude to let this guard be captured without her seeing you." I smile. She knew I was here. I dropped from the ceiling, right in front of the guardsmare. I stand up, looking at the guard recruit.

"I like you. May I have her, Celestia? My queen might like her too." Celestia looks confused, but nods.

"Nightshade, you are allowed to have her. However, I would like to be present, if your queen decides to change her to look like you." I think on that for a moment, before shrugging.

"I will let my queen know." And turn back to the guard.

"What is your name?" I ask her. She looks scared, mostly from what we were talking about.

"Quick Shot, ma'am." I nod.

"So I am guessing you are good with a crossbow? How good?" She puffs up.

"Best of the new recruits, and broken one record for quickest reload and fire. 30 seconds." I nod again.

"You'll be getting a bow. My Queen will be able to give me the design when you are changed, as well as your armor." And she is confused.

"What do you mean by changed?" She says.

"I was not always like this. I was once a pony like you, till roughly two weeks ago." She is in awe, but then asks quietly.

"Does the process hurt?" I look at her, and lean down to whisper in her ear.

"Yes. It hurt a lot. But the end result is worth the pain." She looks scared again. I just sigh, and pet her.

"Celestia, can you end the match between me and the recruits? It would be best if you do it, otherwise they will think I'm quitting, and that I am weak. And I am not weak." She nods.

"Of course, Harvest. Guard, get captain Lightning in here. And have the other guards on duty roundup the remaining recruits." The guard nearest her salutes her, and then runs off. Moments later, Lightning walks in.

"Your Highness, is something wrong?" Celestia shakes her head.

"No, just a change in gameplay. Call the recruits back. The game is over. Also, Quick Shot is no longer under your service. She will be going with Nightshade, to be trained as another ambassador." Lightning nods, and turns to Quick Shot.

"Good luck recruit. You'll probably need it." Quick Shot nods, and salutes. Lightning salutes back, and then leaves. I look at Quick Shot.

"Follow me. Princess, I bid you good night." And leave. Quick Shot follows me.

I make my way to the caverns. Reaching them, the guards open the doors, and we head in. As we enter, I let out a screechh. It n it, I tell my Queen everything. I then turn to Quick Shot, as the doors close.

"I am going to pick you up, and we will be moving through darkness the likes you have never seen. Do not scream, as I will have a good grip on you." And the doors close. I still see her, and she is starting to panic.

"Its really dark. Are you still there?"

"Yes. I am going to pick you up. The next thing you feel, will be my tail. Don't scream." And I slide my tail around her barrel, and lift. Luckily, since she is an earth pony, she doesn't have any wings that I need to worry about.

She cries out lightly as I lift her, and then I take off through the caverns. Dodging crystals and jumpingnledges, she whimpers behind me, but doesn't scream once.

"You are doing good. We are almost there." I say. And we soon do arrive.

Entering my Queens chamber, I set the mare down. I then look to my Queen. But, she doesn't look happy.

"My Queen?" I say. And then I am struck from the side by the praetorian, Geralt.

"I never said you could bring another. I never said, I would make another like you." I am slammed into the ground by the praetors tail, and cry out in pain.

"Mother, I'm sorry." I say, crying. I have made mother angry. She's going to beat me. It's just like before.

I curl into a ball, and start to cry, as the praetor hits me again, and sends me flying across the room. I slam into a wall, and I curl up into the wall, and start crying harder.

"No, mommy ,I'm sorry, please I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry.". And I just keep saying that line over and over. The praetor had stopped, at Mothers order, but I barely heard it over my PTSD from my childhood, being beat by mother for thinking differently, before I was denounced by my family.

I felt something curl around me, and mothers mind connected with mine once more, as she nuzzled me.

I am sorry, my little one. You dont need to worry anymore. I am sorry, for hurting you. She says. I just hug into her.

"I'm sorry mother. Please forgive me." She just nuzzles me, and motherly warmth radiates from her. I slowly start to calm down, and stop crying. After a half hour, I'm fine again. My Queen stands up.

"My Queen, as I have said, I brought her to help. Two voices are better than one. Also, she could be our voice from Chrysalis." My Queen thinks for a moment.

Can you still make light, with your broken horn? I shake my head. She hisses her annoyance. Quick Shot, for her part, has stayed quiet throughout the last while. She finally speaks.

"I can see a little bit, if that helps, your majesty." The Queen tilts her head. She then looks back at me.

She will be of good use. As you said, we can have her speak for Chrysalis group. She will also be able to help with being an ambassador here. We will need to get her a weapon, and some clothing. Also, about Celestia. She will be allowed to watch, but she must be silent, and not interfere in any way. And Luna may come along, as well as Twilight. But only them. Any others that try, are to be denied. Have them here before midnight tonight. I will be here with Quick Shot. I nod to my Queen.

"Yes, my Queen." She hisses.

As you have called me before, Mother, is fine. Your old mother gave you up. I, have taken you in. You may call me as you wish. I smile.

"Yes, Mother." And I run out the room, making my way back to the doors to the castle. The whole way, I am happy. I have a new mother, officially.

I finally reach the doors, though it really wasnt that long. Knocking, I am let in. Turning to one of the guards, I say.

"If you could please tell the princesses that I wish to talk to them, and have them message Princess Twilight as well, I would appreciate it. Tell them to meet me here." The guard nods, and runs off.

And I sit and wait. I meditate, something mother has told me to do, to help control my mind and hunger. And to just think. It helps to let me think about what might have happened, plan, anything. After a while, about two, maybe three hours, I hear hoofsteps coming towards us.

Opening my eyes, I see Celestia, Luna, and Twilight Sparkle coming towards us, plus the guard I sent to get them. I stand.

"Hello princesses. Thank you for meeting me." They all nod, and Celestia asks the first question.

"Hello, Harvest. Why have you called us here?" I smile.

"Mother has allowed you to watch the transformation. However, I insist that the guards stay behind. I will confirm that they will be killed if they try to follow, as mother has stated that you three, and only you three, are allowed to come." They all are horrified about the killing, but they agree. The doors are opened, and we enter. I screech, and it scares the three princesses.

"Please, warn us before you do that." Twilight says.

"I apologize. I will warn you next time." The doors start to close behind them, and they all ignite their horns. I start to guide them. We make our way through the caverns. Spots where they can't walk, they fly over, while I crawl. It takes us twenty minutes or so to reach the Queens chamber.

"Mother, I have returned with the princesses." My Queen hisses.

Good. We begin once Luna raises the moon, in half an hour. We need to move. Grab Quick Shot, and bring her. Some others will grab the princesses. I do as she says, and grab Quick in my tail. She squeaks, but doesnt do much else. Geralt grabs princess Celestia in his tail, abd Luna and Twilight are grabbed by two other drones.

We then head through the caverns, lead by the Queen. Twenty five minutes or so later, we make it to the hollow in the mountain, where I was transformed last time. The bowl is still there, as is the raised platform I stepped on last time. I set Quick Shot down, and the three princesses are sat down as well. I then take Quicks armor off her, and toss it aside. Mother speaks again.

Luna, if you would raise the moon, we can begin. Luna nods, and then looks to Celestia. Celestia nods, and her horn glows. The sun starts to go down, and Luna lights her horn, and the moon comes up. After both are in place, my Queen speaks again.

Quick Shot, you will drink from the bowl, and then step into the center of the platform. You need to do so quickly. Harvest, help her if needed. I nod. Quick shot gulps.

"Harvest, whats happening?" Twilight asks in a whisper.

"Shhh. You cannot speak during this. Be quiet until the end, and we can talk." I say.

Quick Shot moves towards the bowl of black goo. She looks into it, and then bends forwards, dipping her muzzle into it, and taking a sip. Much like me, she tried to spit it out, but when she inhaled again, it forced its way inside her throat. As she started to violently cough, she staggered towards the platform. Getting on, I saw the same magical diagram as before appear on the floor.

Luna's moon seemed to glow brighter, as did the symbols, and Mother moved forwards, and stepped into an open area of the circle. Before her appeared a plane of light, almost like a book made of moonlight, and the Queen put her claws to it. She then started to mess with the wierd moonlight object, and Quick Shot started to change, and scream.

She grew as tall as me, and grew a tail. Though, this tail was different than mine.

First of all, it grew from the back of her head. Her head then became armored. Her hair turned into a bone like substance, and fused together into the tail, which also became armored. Her legs became armored too, with bone like plates that looked similar to a dragons, and her feet became draconic.


(You have no idea how long it took to post this picture here.)

She finally stopped screaming, and Mother came forwards towards her. Beckoning me over too, I follow. We get near her, and she is naked. I can see her breasts and marehood. Mother turns to me.

Get some sort of clothes for her. She says. Luna magics some wrappings for me, and I wrap them around her breasts, and weave them to make a pair of panties. Quick Shot wakes, and she starts to growl. She then jumps on me, and tackles me.

I growl, and grab her face, and toss her. I then scramble up, and jump on her before she gets up. I grab the back of her head, and slam it into the ground multiple times. When she stops struggling, I stop, and shriek out my victory.

Geralt comes over with a cow in his tails grasp, and it was mooing loudly. I helped Quick Shot stand, and move for the cow. When we got close, she heard the cow and looked around for it. Seeing it, she growled.

Then, she pounced on the beast, knocking it to the ground. She then proceeded to tear it's head off. As she ate the cow, I looked to the three princesses, to see Twilight flopped in a pool of vomit. Luna looked to be about to vomit, and Celestia was.

Quick Shot finished the entire cow, and all its bones were piled to the side. When she was done, she was panting, covered in the cows blood. She looked around, mostly confused. Then, she saw me.

"What, happened?" She asks. I answer.

"You were transformed. You then attacked me, and after, I let you eat that cow your sitting in." Her eyes widen. She looks down to the cow, then back to me.

"Why do I not care as much about having killed it? I feel bad that it died, but I don't feel guilty." I nod.

"Meat is our diet. We get it how we can. If it means killing animals, then we do so. Regret is still good though, so we dont do so with reckless abandon. We hunt for food, not for sport." I say, and she just slowly nods. I then help her stand, and she gets to looking at herself. I look to mother.

"Mother, is this all?" Mother hisses.

No. I must present her her weapon. the Queen then moves to the alcove where I got my armor, and leans down near it. She opens her mouth, and her inner jaw shoots forwards, pressing a button hidden in the stone. Confused, me and Quick Shot move towards her. As part of the wall moves away, I can see that behind it is a massive bow, huge, as tall as me and Quick Shot are. Beside it, a spear like object.

(Post picture of the Anor Londo Greatbow and Spear)

This bow will be yours, Quick Shot. It fires those spears, and has an infinity spell put on it, so that you wont have to stop firing. Take it, and try it out. My Queen says. Quick Shot moves forwards, grabbing the blades.

She then looks at it for a moment, before getting into position. She grabs the string, and nocks the spear. Pulling back the bow string, the entire bow flexes from its position sitting on the ground, all the way up past her head. The bow made a creaking sound, so loud it sounded like the bow would break. The spear fir the bow well, and she let go the string.

The arrow flew through the air, and zoomed past the princesses, and hit the wall. It sunk in a full two feet into the wall. She lowered the bow, and says.

"The fly is dead." She then put the bow down, and unstrung it. I just grab my cane and look at it.

You are sisters now. Quick Shot, your name, is no longer useful. You can keep it, or I can give you a new name. She says. I look to Quick, and she seems slightly conflicted. She thinks for a bit, before looking up to our queen.

"My Queen, I will be happy to take a new name." She says. I smile. Mother nods.

Then take this name, Lao Shan Lung, as your own. This name, is taken from the species of Elder Dragon your new body is based off of. However, you will find no records of it, for it does not come from this planet. Take your new name, and use it with pride, my daughter. She then turns to me.

And you, my daughter. Do you wish to recieve a new name as well? I barely have to think. I nod vigorously.

Then take this new name, Protectors Soul, and use it with pride. I am confused by the choice, but I dont care. Mother gave me a new name.

"Thank you, mother." Me and Lao say at the same time. Mother comes over to us, and nuzzles each of us, as we hug her. Finally, we turn back to the princesses, who were all awake now. Mother speaks to them.

Princesses, I am sorry for what you just witnessed. Please, do not be alarmed. What has happened here has only happened twice, and one of those two you just witnessed. If you have any questions, please, ask me. When all is finished, my daughters will escort you back to the gates. The princesses all nod, and Twilight starts to talk.

"What did you mean when you said we wouldnt find anything on the Elder Dragon?"

It is not of this world. Elder dragons come from another world entirely. That world, is inhabited by monsters and creatures more powerful than Sombra, Discord, Nightmare Moon, and Chrysalis combined, at their full power. And they would happily eat them, without a second thought. Twilight gulps, nods, and backs up. Celestia comes forward.

"Why did you change their names? I am not going to shame them or ridicule them for having changed them, I am just curious."

Because they are now new people. They are no longer fundamentally who they once where. Their minds, their bodies, and their personalities have become different. Therefore, a change of name is required. Is it not the same when a pony gets their cutie mark, and it doesnt go well with their first name? Celestia nods. Luna asks her question.

"Why does this ritual need the power of my moon? The sun has more energy." My Queen nods.

But the moon is more spiritual. And also, doesnt it seem better to do rituals in the light of the moon? Its so beautiful.

Luna blushes lightly.

"Thank you for admiring it. I put a lot of time into the nights for our subjects." My queen nods.

If that is all, dears, please escort them back to the entrance. When your done, return to my chamber, so we may begin Lao's training. we both nod to her.

"Yes mother." We say at the same time, before turning around and pointing out.

"Please follow me. Ive been here longer, and shes still yet to learn the caverns." I say. Lao looks at me grumpily, but follows me, and the three princesses follow us.

They light their horns as we enter the dark, and follow us in silence for a while. Twilight finally has a question.

"Did you get your cane from the Queen as well?" I nod.

"Yes. She had had it made by the ancient tribes for the pony that was to become her ambassador. I'm guessing the bow was the same." I reply. We walk along in more silence, before Celestia says.

"So, I'm guessing you ate Sombra. Judging by the way you phrased it, you ate him with your brothers. What did he taste like?" The other two princesses look to her like shes crazy. I just giggle.

"He was stringy, not gonna lie. It was a little hard to chew him." Celestia just nods. We finally make it to the doors to enter the cavern, and I knock. They start to open, as I turn back to the princesses.

"I bid you goodnight, princesses. I must go and teach my sister about how we live." They nod, and Celestia just sighs.

"You have no idea how hard it is to teach a sibling. I'm still doing so." Luna just looks indignant.

"Celestia, what have you been teaching me? I dont know of you teaching me anything. Twilight has taught me more than you." We all laugh at this, and the princesses bid us adieu.

We then ran back, in the total darkness, seeing as if it was pure daylight, towards the Queens chamber. Reachung it, we enter, and the Queen nuzzles us before saying.

Now, lets begin training.
