Yuri smiled as Grow tended to Galeforce’s wounds “I’m truly grateful for your help.”

Grow smiled “It’s nay problem, some ponies prescribeth to the pony sup'ri'rity yond Celestia believes in while oth'rs followeth Luna who is't believes yond all shouldst standeth togeth'r in peace and harmony. I fiteth into the second categ'ry as doth many ponies of the empire.”

Galeforce looked at Yuri who was starting to shake again “What is causing you to shake so violently.”

Yuri grimaced “Don’t tell anypony else about this and I will share it with you.”

Grow smiled “We gage not to a soul, we gage t on our liveth.” Galeforce nodded alongside this.

Yuri sighed “I have this trait known as the Third Eye, it makes me stronger and faster but comes with a steep price. It makes me what to kill so bad, like a powerful itch that I can’t scratch and take so much willpower just to restrain it.”

Grow was stunned, Galeforce placed a claw on her “You have a good heart, Yuri. Even against those horrid ponies that attacked me, you did little more than knock one away. I’ll head back to the rest of Equestria with you.”

Yuri smiled “Thanks Galeforce, I appreciate that.”

Grow shook herself out of her stupor “Well if ever need any help, or just want to come to the Empire to relax I’ll be running my shop as usual.” Yuri and Galeforce leave the crystalline farmhouse, fields of various fruit including the famed Crystal Berries surrounded the farm house.

The pair headed back to the central part of the city state, Yuri smiled as saw Monika standing beside a filly and a colt as well as Pricness Amore. Monika smiled at Yuri “These two foals are Sombra and Radiant Hope, their coming back with us. We are going to take care of them, Pricness Amore has already passed the paperwork.”

Yuri frowned “I used it to save Galeforce here, can you suppress it again for me.”

Monika nodded “Sure” she then smiled as she turned off Yuri’s Third Eye “you have a lot of willpower to have keep it restrained this long.”

Sombra meanwhile poked the hen with hoof “I’ve nev'r seen a Griffon bef're, is't true yond thee talons can rend stone?”

Galeforce chuckled “That is quite true actually, Griffons are mighty strong. We won’t match up to an Earth Pony who has done hard work their whole life but we are a close second.”

Radiant Hope shouted as she smacked Sombra across the back of his head “Sombra, thee can’t treateth anoth'r pony liketh yond! It’s po'r mann'rs to poketh anoth'r pony and I’d assume it’s the same with Griffons!”

Monika sighed as she looked at Sombra “You going to be the trouble maker aren’t you” she then turned to Radiant Hope “Should me or one of my friends not be around for some reason, you have permission to reign him in.”

Radiant Hope smiled “I shall doth mine own most wondrous to keepeth that gent in line, thee has't mine own w'rd.”

Yuri sighed “Thank goodness, we don’t need him running around school without someone to be the voice of reason.”

Monika nudged her “Relax, we will make sure that he is properly disciplined. Just having an extra set of eyes on him while we aren't around wouldn’t be a bad thing.”

The group got their tickets and just before they boarded the train Amore waved goodbye to the two ponies, two humans and griffon “Wisheth thee luck in thy endeavours, may thee returneth to the empire one day.”

Monika waved goodbye as the group boarded the train, Sombra was bouncing excitedly as they took their seats “What is Equestria liketh!”

Yuri chided the colt “You’ll find out when you get there. Be patient, is is unwise to rush into things without thinking first. To find peace within yourself, close your eyes and clear your mind.” Monika smiled as Radiant Hope talk a seat on her lap, watching their friends meditating.

They soon returned to Equestria, they disembarked the train. Sayori ran over to the two young ponieswith a smile on her face “You must be Sombra and Radiant Hope.”

Natsuki frowned “The Princesses aren’t exactly pleased with your actions, you may wish to speak with them. Apparently adopted two ponies from another nation shortly after you arrive draw a great amount of attention.”

Monika frowned “I will be back at our place” she then turned to the pair “Yuri will make sure you are settled, I’ll sort out some rooms for you two when I return okay.”

Radiant Hope smiled “Shall doth, thanketh thee.”

Monika smiled as she clicked her fingersmaterialising in the Throne Room of the Castle of the Two Pony Sisters the two Princesses and her being the only current occupants. She turned to Celestia and Luna with a frown “I heard you two have a problem with my decision. One of them is a being of dark magic and I wish for you to help me teach him it’s proper use, I would not separate the pair of them.”

Luna nodded “I und'rstand as a practition'r of dark charm myself, I knoweth how sore t can beest to controleth without prop'r training. I und'rstand wherefore thee didst what thee didst but i doth wanteth to knoweth how thee kneweth about this at which hour thee just did get h're?”

Monika frowned as she put a sound proof barrier around the room “Simply put, in my world you are character from a fictional show for little girls. In that story Sombra grew up to be dreadful tyrant who you defeated but not before he sealed the Crystal Empire away only for him and the Crystal Empire to return one thousand years later. However that doesn't have to happen here, nor do other certain events.”

Celestia and Luna’s eyes widened in shock “If 't be true what thou art declaring is true, then doesn’t yond maketh ev'rything we doth meaningless!”

Monika shook her head “No, that is only one possible future and it doesn't have to happen. I am omniscient however and the potential changes could limit how much that knowledge could help me. Still I will do my best to help you however I can.”

Celestia smiled “Well yond is all we can asketh of thee” she then frowned “young dark mages art quite dang'rous and thee needeth to beest careful.”

Luna smiled as well “Bring Sombra over tonight for magic training, tonight will give me a good idea of how powerful he is

Monika nodded to both of them “I will, I promise you that.”

She dispelled the soundproofing around the room and teleported away, Sayori was busy playing tag with Sombra and Radiant Hope in the living room. Yuri was reading a book on the sofa, while Natsuki lounged around. Monika clicked her fingers and two new rooms were created on the second floor with proper supports.

Monika then walked over to the two young ponies of them “Sombra, tonight you will meet Pricness Luna who is well practised in the art of dark magic. I expect you will treat her with respect, also both of you will attend school.”

Sombra beamed “Very much, I receiveth to learneth from the princess.”

Radiant Hope looked down sadly, Monika messed with her mane “I’ll see if Celestia will take you under her wing. I’m confident that you have a great amount of talent.” Monika grateful for the opportunity smiled as Radiant Hope beamed, she then turned to Sayori the smile still on her face. Sayori returned the smile in kind.

Author's Note

For anyone who has played Final Fantasy 4 I was going for, at least in part, a Palom and Porom relationship between the Sombra and Radiant Hope.
