My Little Pony: The Prince of Friendship
Season 4: Episode 2 - Celestia's New Captain Part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTempest Shadow came to in the Canterlot Castle Medical ward.
"Ah. It seems you are awake." It was Princess Celestia, and she was far from alone.
"It seems I was saved after all..." Tempest Shadow said. "Thank you, Princess." She added.
"No. It is I who should be thanking you, Tempest Shadow." Princess Celestia said. "Tell me, do you know who those two you saved were?" She asked.
"Some sort of crossbreeds. What about them? It's not like I'm racist against them." Tempest Shadow said.
"I should hope not. Especially since the information about them being my daughters is a tightly guarded secret." Celestia said. Tempest eyes went wide.
"You mean...I just saved the daughters of Princess Celestia..." Tempest Shadow said.
"Her secret daughters yes, but her daughters none the less." Twilight said. "Which we are SO talking about later by the way." She added.
"Still...that doesn't change anything..." Tempest Shadow said. "I just did what came naturally to me, and no way was I going to let the same Ursa Major that took my horn a long time ago do to those two what it did to me." She added. "No matter who they were." She concluded.
"It's those actions I was hoping to speak to you about." Celestia said. "It was only three hours after your parole was considered done and over with, and already you've taken the liberty to once again save royalty." She added.
"So, all of us came to a sort of agreement." Luna said as Twilight took out a royal guard helmet, but what was unique about it, was what was connected to the horn slot.
"No doubt it'll need refitting for it though...but..." Twilight said. "Since my brother moved to the Crystal Empire, his post here as Captain of the Solar Royal Guard has gone without anyone willing to fill it. So, we all agreed that for your actions, you can take the post. And, as you can tell, it's got the bound horn spell already applied to it. In fact, it's the same helmet that I first was able to get the permanent version of said spell applied to." She explained.
Tempest's eyes went wide. Not only was she being offered a position of such honor by the princesses, but doing so would allow her to become whole at long last.
"Do not worry about getting the spell to work without. I'll keep trying to get the permanent version of just the spell without needing to attached to something for it to work." Twilight assured Tempest Shadow, sensing the former storm king commander's doubt.
"It would be an honor to have you serve my royal guard as it's newest captain. The position is yours, should you want it." Celestia said.
"Even if you don't, Twilight's still going to finish the normal spell anyways." Cadence said.
"Take your time and think about it though. No rush." Celestia said. Tempest Shadow looked at the helmet and picked it up just as everyone else began leaving.
"Wait." Tempest said. Everyone turned towards her. "...You say it would be an honor for me to serve in your guard after everything I've done for you..." Tempest said before she smiled. "I say the honor is all mine." She added. "I accept your proposal." She concluded.
A few hours later after Tempest Shadow Recovered, a special meeting between all royals took place with some noble ponies present alongside all of Twilight's friends as well as their special someponies.
"The mare formally known as Fizzlepop Berrytwist, now known as Tempest Shadow." Princess Celestia introduced. "It is with great honor that we; the royals of Equestria, herby present you with the title and monicre of Captain of the Solar Royal Guard. Do you swear on your life, that so long as you live, you will uphold the values of Equestria and it's allies?" Celestia asked.
"I do." Tempest said, bowing.
"Do you swear on your life, until death do you part, that you shall protect the crown and all those associated with it?" Celestia asked.
"I do." Tempest answered.
"And do you swear on your life, that until your final breath, you will continue to serve Equestria for the benefit of all that is good and harmonious?" Celestia asked.
"I do." Tempest Shadow said.
"Then it is with great honor that the Princesses of Equestria hearby grant you the highest position in the Canterlot royal guard. Henceforth..." Celestia said as the helmet that had been refitted for Tempest was placed on the unicorn's head; the bound horn becoming a blue color. "You shall be known as Captain Tempest Shadow. May you live long and serve the crown well." Celestia said.
"The honor is all mine, Celestia, Princess of the Sun." Tempest Shadow replied.
Afterwards, there was a party held by Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich underway.
"Hey Pinkie Pie..." Cheese Sandwich said.
"What's up Cheese?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"There's something I want to ask you." Cheese Sandwitch said before he suddenly got down on one knee. "...Will you marry me?" He asked. Pinkie Pie cried very hardly as she Pinkie Pie hugged Cheese Sandwich.
"YES! A MILLION TIMES OVER YES!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
"...Should we tell them?" Rainbow Dash asked Soarin.
"Nah...let's them have the spotlight for now, Dashie." Soarin said.
"Hmm? What are you two whispering about?" Spitfire asked.
"We'll tell you when the time is right." Soarin said.
"So just sit tight okay?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Meanwhile...
A pink Pegasus filly could be seen studying a book about six special artifacts.
"It's time to use and oldie but a goodie." The Pegasus filly said. "Flash Sentry, your test is coming up..." She added.
