(A few days later)

Standing behind stage, Maximums stood ready to present himself to this world once again after his 1,000 year slumber for his failure to protect Luna from the darkness of evil. Holding his guardian spear in his hands he closed his eyes inhaled for a emotionless machine he felt nervous he didn't know why but he did for some reason. He felt butterflies in his stomachs as he wasn't big on crowds yet he felt comfortable in the heat of combat the reason behind this feeling was unknown to him.

He heard his younger sisters voice from behind the red vial that covered the stage as he exhaled as he counted in his head.

"Citizens of Equesitra and the world I have great news to announce to you all for a another hero from legend has returned from the sands of time. Not many know him but he is one of the most beloved members of our nation long ago before nightmare moon and discord, though he isn't a pony I still see him as a brother. I love him so as a brother that he is to be considered royalty and not treated any different from my sister or I. Ladies and gentlecolts I present to you the captain-general MAXIMUMS THE GOLDEN KNIGHT!"

With that the fabric blocking his view was lifted as he was blinded for a second before his eyes almost imminently adjusted back to the light. There before him was a crowd of ponies and magic viewers (Basically cameras) all looking at him the nobles and other ponies gasped at what they saw before them. Standing behind celestia was the golden legend of old, a mere tall tale of a being that was supposedly just as powerful or even more so than the princesses themselves this was something that the world was shocked to see.

They watched as he took a step forward onto the stone stage and walked next to celestia to the surprise of all those who watched was taller than celestia (Mostly due to the large pointy helmet he wore). To them this was a being that must have been of celestias creation but no it wasn't for this being was almost alien to them yet not a stranger for this being has fought for there nation millions of times before they were even born!

No pony spoke at the sight of this large being before them before somepony spoke up.

"I though the golden knight died long ago!" She shouted to celestia as other began to agree with the pony who shouted until Celestia raised her hand causing all to go silent.

"No he wasn't dead for he was asleep for the past 1,000 years shortly after nightmare moon was banished for he felt reasonable for the creation of nightmare moon and punished himself to suffer a dreamless sleep for a 1,000 years. I don't know why the legend says he died for he was always alive just sleeping away out- Ok now I see how you thought he was dead," Celestia said turning to Maximums. "Sorry,"

He shook his head and placed a hand on her shoulder as if to tell her it was alright then he let her go until a hand was raised from the crowd.

"Princess! What will the captain-general do now that he is awake?" Asked a pony to which celesita answered.

"The captain general will remain in Equestira and remain guarding and doing what my sister and I ask," She said as another pony raised his hand.

"Princess! Isn't the golden knight responsible for the deaths of our allies during the great griffin wars and the dragon clad wars? Will he be punished for the acts of murder and other because of this war," A pony asked as Celestia smile faded.

"That's enough questions," She said as more ponies began to ask more and more questions to where the guards had to hold them back.

Maximums looked at them before turning and following his sister, before he left the stage a glass bottle hit him in the back of the head making him slowly turn around.

"MURDER!"

With that more and more ponies began to chant the war murder at the golden knight as he narrowed his eyes behind his helmet before turning with his back to them and walking off to meet with his sister.

(Celestias room)

"That could have gone better," She said slumping into her bed.

Maximums just looked at her as she lifted her head up from the sheets with a sigh.

"Of course this is going to shake thing up with our griffin and dragon allies by mother why does this have to be so freaking hard!" Walking over to her he placed a hand on her back and began to rub his claws gently into her back making the sun princess's ears perk up as she lifted her head slightly closing her eyes. "Oh man I missed this~"

Sitting down next to her he keep rubbing her back as she looked at him with a smile.

"Thanks Max I needed this," She said as he gave a silent nod to her.

As he rubbed her back she hummed a tune, placing her head on her arms.

"Max?"

He stopped rubbing and looked at her.

"When you were sleeping did you think about us?" She asked with one eye open to see him nod sadly. "I did too... I hurt me to see both my sister and brother go,"

Maximums tilted his head before giving off a sigh, he then moved his hand to her head and began to pet her as she smiled at her brothers touch. Even though the cold metal of his armor could be hard and cold it was also at the same time nice and welcoming.

"Thank you Max," She said with a smile as she felt him gently comb her mane with his fingers claws.

Closing her eyes the princess fell asleep slightly surprising the custodian but down under his helmet he smiled as he stopped petting her and grabbed the sheet and covered her body as she cutely snoozed away. Standing up he then used his free hand to grab his spear and stand at attention silently protecting his sister from any creature that would wish to harm her.

Author's Note

I kinda add a little fluff in this chapter so you guys can get that 'cuddle' warning I had up for you all. Hope it was good for how short it was but still next chapter will be with Luna during the night court and see how the night guard reacts to the golden knight then.
