"Now then," The head priestess spoke as she lowered her cup from her lips as she spoke. "Isn't this better?"

As she asked Celestia and Luna sat crisscross with Celestia with her arms crossed and giving Alexander a death glare as Luna held a teacup looking at her sister trying to calm her down. Alexander, on the other hand, sat like his mistress Tao who was on her knees as she held a teacup as she nodded.

"Yes head priestess this is nice," Tao said as the head priestess smiled.

"Please my child call me Amru," Amru said to the priestess who smiled.

"Of course priestess Amru," This caused Amru to smile at the vixen before turning to the red and black armored giant in the room.

"Why haven't you taken a cup, great warrior?" Amru asked to which Alexander spoke.

He looked at the head priestess as he spoke.

"I fear if I do Celestia here will try and take off my head," Alexander told the old priestess who looked at him and smiled.

"I assure you, great warrior, that won't happen unless Celestia wants to lose all trading rights with Japony," Amru warned Celestia who scoffed.

"Why can't you see how much of a threat he is? He single handily took out an entire horde of armed diamond dogs with only a blade and from what I can see he has more weapons than he can use against us!" This caused Alexander to laugh. "What's so funny?"

"The idea of you thinking you can beat me in single combat," He said as Celestia growled as she pointed to him.

"Like you can beat me! Your a child compared to me when it comes to combat! I'm over 20,000 years old and fought in over 100 wars! I control the sun and its power flows through me! You are nothing compared to me!" She said as he turned to her.

"And how many battles did you lead? How many battles did your troops need to fight while you rest behind in a gated fortress?" Alex asked as she snarled.

"You dare!"

"I do..."

"ENOUGH both of you!" Tao said as she growled. "You're in the presence of the head priestess of the dragon of light you will show respect!"

Celestia huffed as she crossed her arms as Alexander bowed his head to Tao.

"Forgive me, my mistress, I didn't mean to offend you or the Head priestess," Alexander said as Tao looked at him before sighing.

"I guess it's fine just don't do it again," She said as Alexander rose.

"Of course mistress," Tao blushed at the name she was given as spoke.

"Just take that helmet off and drink some tea already," She said.

With a nod, the tau marine took off his white helmet and all looked at the face of what was under that helmet to the face of what looked like somekind of hounded beast as he took off the helmet the red eyes of the being looked down at Tao who blushed at the face of the marine.

"What are you?" Amru asked to which he spoke.

"What I am is a Tau marine of the Farsight Enclave and to what I am as a race I'm a Warbeast who was once apart of the primaris Blood ravens before they left me to die on a death world before I was saved and became what I am now before you," All looked at him as he took the Japony style teacup and brought to his snout and blew on it before sipping the tea as Amru spoke.

"So how did you come into contact with the great dragon of light?" She asked to which he spoke.

"Simple he came to me...he told me I was needed elsewhere and told me innocent lives were at stake and I came to save those lives from harm," He said as the three woman (but Celestia) smiled as she got up and spoke.

"Enough of your lies why are you really here?" She asked to which the Warbeast looked to Tao with a smile.

"To serve and protect her," He said as Tao raised her robe hand to cover her blush as she smiled lightly.

"Well if that is what the dragon of light demands than it will be so," Amru said as Celestia looked at the leader in disgust.

"You can't be seriously considering him staying here! He's dangerous and a threat to all!" She said as Amru took her tea and spoke.

"Celestia old friend surely you can sense truth and the peace flowing through this great warrior that sits next to you," Amru said as Celestia growled.

"He's a threat to all living things in this land," Celestia said as the wolf-like space marine moved down his cup as he spoke.

"You know if you get to know me a little more maybe you know that I won't do such thing," Alex said as she scoffed.

"Actually Alexander here has a point why don't you get to know him?" Armu asked to which Celestia spoke.

"I don't have time to get to know this... 'thing' I have duties in Cantorlot that need attending to," She said as Luna spoke.

"Well why doesn't he come with us if that will make you feel better," Luna asked to which Alexander spoke.

"That won't be possible for I am not to leave lady Tao's side," Alexander said as Luna tilted her head.

"Than why don't you come with us to Cantorlot Priestess Tao?" Luna asked to which the priestess looked up.

"I can't I have a duty here to my people I can't just leave them," Tao explained as Armu smiled.

"I think you can my child," Armu said as the young lady priestess blinked.

"What are you saying head priestess?" Tao said.

The wise old fox sipped her tea as she lowered her hands with the teacup within them as she smiled.

"Why don't you go as a respective of the temple of the light dragon go to the Cantorlot so that princess Celestia can see our champion isn't a threat," Armu said shocking the vixen.

"But priestess what about the diamond dogs what if they return?" Tao asked to which Luna smiled.

"Oh I don't think they would be much of a threat after they ran they came right into our forces that were about to attack them before Alexander here showed them who's boss... Your people won't have to worry about the dogs anymore," The night princess said. "And besides we can leave a small part of our army behind till your home recovers from this attack,"

Alexander smiled as he turned to Alexander who smiled down at her and nodded.

"Well... I guess if it's alright with the priestess," Tao spoke as Armu smiled.

"You have my blessing child,"

"Alright, we can take the first train back to Cantorlot tonight,"

(two hours later)

"Something the matter Mistress?" Alexander asked as he held Tao's bags as she turned to her home that had been crushed by the dogs.

"Well to be honest Alex... I never need to leave Japony ever the temple has been my entire life. Going away from my home is a strange feeling," Tao said as the white helmed tau marine spoke.

"If you don't want to leave we can always stay," He told her as she turned to him.

"No that won't be necessary we must show Celestia you are not a threat,"

"Mistress how come you are so easy to trust me?"

Tao smiled.

"Why? Because your the dragon of light's champion of course! If he sent you to protect me than I know that is what you will do after all the dragon of light has been my entire life," She said as he looked down at her.

"If that is what you say, mistress," He said as she turned to the train.

"Let's go Alexander let us go see the world and all of its wounders," Tao said as she got onto the train followed by the large red space marine.

As the two entered their private train car provided by the Celestia and Luna as they entered the cart Tao saw something that would be a problem.

"Un oh," she said as Alexander turned to her.

"What is it, mistress?" He asked to which she pointed out.

"There is only one bed," She said as he smiled behind his helmet.

"That is alright you can take it I can rest on the floor," He said as she spoke.

"This must be a mistake we must tell them about this," Tao said as Alexander held up a hand.

"Probably Celestia had it this way just so you go to her about this best we don't annoy her any more than we must," He said as she spoke.

"Well... I... alright I guess its fine but I can't help the fact that you must sleep on the floor," Tao said as he chuckled.

"Trust me I had slept on the more unpleasant ground before," He said as she looked to him as Tao spoke.

"Why don't we share the bed," This caused Alexander to flinch slightly.

"W-w-what?"

"Yes I think that will be fine and besides its big enough for the both of us," She said as he was about to speak but this was his mistress wishes best he doesn't question them. "Now why don't you get out of that armor so I can see if you are wounded,"

Nodding he lifted his head as the back of his armor opened out as he climbed out of his armor and walked beside it causing Tao to blush at what she saw. Wearing nothing but his nerve suit that left nothing to the imagination as he let his tail go free from its armored confines of the power armor. She gulped as she eyed him with her unique colored eyes as she held out her arm.

"Please lay down let's see if you took any blunging damage," She said as he nodded.

'Dragon please help me hold my urges!'

As he laid on the bed she crawled onto the bed as she placed her hands on his chest as she began to check this darkened fur being as her hands began to glow. Doing this Alexander watched her do her magic as she looked at him with a lit blush on her face as she turns back to his body as her mind began to wander in 'questionable' thoughts.

She was not one to think such things because all the males she knew where nothing more than lust drunk fools that wanted little more than a woman in bed and to have only sex with the female before leaving her to raise their bastard. Something told her otherwise about this male before her, from the little amount of time she know him he was the complete opposite to the males she knew personally he was something else completely.

He was her protector and wouldn't dark think about harming her or anything for it would stain his honor if he would have done so!

She turned to the head of the space marine who was now asleep in her arms as she smiled, he looked quite cute as he slept a bit too much for a such a warrior that she saw fighting not but a few hours ago. Tilting her head she moved her head to his forehead and kissed the sleeping warrior as he slept for saving her people as she raised her head she laid down beside him as she smiled looking at the marine.

As she laid there the train cart bumped up and down every so often as it began to rock her asleep like a baby in a cradle as she turned away from the marine as she began to think of the warmth she felt in her heart.

Where did this feeling come from?

Author's Note

I hope I'm not rushing anything but besides that, I would have this out sooner rather than later but now it's out and I don't have to worry about that now do I? I have to worry about the next chapter which will be an easy one with the main six meeting Tao and Alex.
