Shining wasn’t sure where he was, all he knew he was standing in the middle of a large church looking onwards as he saw the stain glass windows. Depicting angels from on high, shining from the very heavens above. Though the inside of the church was beyond dark as though there was a cloud blocking away the light. On the other side of the room, was a coffin. It was black and long, and the fact was Shining didn’t want to go near it.

Something about the coffin scared him, like there was something inside it that he wasn’t meant to see. But his body had different plans. The way it moved, his body dragging on, he tried shuffling away, but his legs ignored him. The only thing he could do was really move his head and even then he could barely do that.

“What the fuck is going on?” He was soon standing before the Coffin looking down upon it his heart racing. He wanted to run away beware the poor soul that was hiding in there. But his hands reached down slowly grabbing its side lifting the lid up. Shining tried closing his eyes. He didn’t want to see who was in there. Though soon he began pulling the coffin opened. It was clear he had no choice— Nothing he could do would change that.

The coffin swung opened as he looked into it, and what was laying in there. It was none other than Vanessa. She was laying their her eyes were closed, her skin as pale as snow, with a bloody shirt. The gunshot Shining had put into her. It caused a churning feeling in his stomach, he wanted to scream.

“Oh God, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to kill you it, was an accident.” He was trying not to cry, his heart was racing his head pounding. When without warning. Vanessa suddenly turned her head staring right at him. Her milky white eyes, as she suddenly said with a raspy voice.

“You killed me, You murdered me. You son of a bitch!” She sounded angry. Her hand shot up as though she was ready to grab him by the neck. Though before she could do so. The coffin slammed shut. Vanessa’s arm hanged outside. Laying there limp. Shining felt his heart stopping there. When He heard someones voice.

“Ouch, that really sucks, I hate it when My Ex tries to kill me.” Shining looked over his shoulder and saw none other than Discord: The God of Life, and Chaos. The mad God who Cadance had killed months ago.

“Your dead!” Shining said feeling himself take a step back bumping into the coffin.

“Yeah, I am, and let me tell you Being a Dead god, really sucks. I mean, God’s aren’t suppose to die, it’s very Rare that happens, So where do we go… Nowhere we just kinda float into a nothingness. I think it’s hard to tell, Not really anyone to talk to.” Discord chuckled while moving his hands around while Shining looked around trying to find a weapon. Something to fight him off.

“What are you doing here? Where the fuck am I?” Shining muttered trying not to look as freaked out as he was right then. Hell everything told him to run away.

“Where are we, well hard to tell, Oh wait we’re in your head moron. I snuck into your little head for a chat since well. Your little stunt got me killed.” Discord Growled in annoyance.

“You did that to yourself.” Shining muttered

“Potato, potato Ether way I’m dead and your involved. Now, I’m just bored and figured I’d fuck with your little head.” Discord chuckled poking his head.

“Get the fuck out of my head.” Shining muttered as he tried pinching himself awake, something. But he couldn’t feel any pain. Just a ticklish sensation.

“Fine, fine- Yesh. Try to kill you once and no one wants to be friends. But I have a fun question for you.” Discord raised an eyebrow and gave a cocky smile that reminded Shining of a car salesmen.

“Are the babies mine? Or yours?” Discord Snapped his finger, and Shining suddenly found himself awake his head shooting up as he was in a cold sweat. His heart racing. And his breathing was heavy.

“Something wrong Goddess husband?” Pinkie said while turning clearly half asleep.

“It’s fine Pinkie, just a nightmare, please go back to sleep.” Shining patted her hand and got out of the broken bed. A long sigh as he wasn’t sure if his dream was real or just his imagination. But it was clear it scared him.

Cadance sighed as she picked up a box filled with books. It had been a month since they found their new home, and they were just getting the finishing touches done, as they filled the U-haul.

“Here let me get that for you.” Shining said as he took the box from the Pregnant Goddess,

“Shining I can handle this myself. I am a goddess.” Cadance joked, though hand hushed her,

“Not in front of my parents.” He nudged over as the older couple was grabbing some boxed and walking them out of the now smaller apartment. They were walking everything out. Shining had left earlier dropping the Gremlin and Bast over to the new place so there wasn’t a chance of them being discovered so it was just the two of them at the time.

“I still don’t get why you won’t tell them I’m a goddess. I mean it’s nothing special.”

“I know, and I really should but Give it time, I just till I can get an idea of how they’ll react.”

“I mean you’re mother was fine with finding out I’m pregnant.” It was almost as if on cue, Shining’s mother came over and suddenly began taking the Box away from Cadance and throwing it in Shining’s arm,

“Don’t you dare hurt yourself let, me, and Nightlight help Shining out, while you get comfortable I don’t want anything happening to my Grandbaby!” The excitment in her voice as she was suddenly giving Cadance a big ol’ hug, as it Cadance looking more shocked but eventually returned the hug. Giving a light pat. As she was trying to keep calm.

“I’m fine Ms.Velvet, I just wanna help it’s our house.” Cadance said though it was clear, Twilight wasn’t having any of this.

“Please call me Mom, you’re apart of the family, and please just relax we’re insisting.” Twilight said as she started picking up more books, though she gave out a hefty groan before Nightlight came over,

“Twilight stop you’ll hurt yourself again, beside let the poor girl help, I remember when you were pregnant with Shining you were all I do what I want, and I’ll fight this bear.” Nightlight laughed while his wife was giving him the death glare.

“It’s fine guy’s I just wanna help some.” Cadance smiled as she rubbed the back of her head, clearly finding this all amusing as she looked over at the kind couple.

“We’ll figure out a way, I know I’m smothering but im just excited.” Twilight said as she looked embarrassing. Though before Cadance could say anything she felt a buzzing against her thigh. When she reached over and suddenly poked against the scythe it was there she realized what was going on and gave a soft smile.

“Actually I think I need to head out for a bit, I got to get to work.” She moved over giving her mother in law, a hug and kissing Shining’s cheek before sprinting towards the door.. There the goddess would be off leaving the three there.

“Shining, Cadance is very nice but I admit at times she can be a little weird.” Nightlight muttered leaning towards his son.

“Yeah I know, but I like those weird parts of her.” He felt a smile role over his face as they would eventually get back to work carrying the boxes away.

Cadance walked out of the building, and started moving down the streets, as she reached down pulling the scythe out of her hand, as she began to enlarge it. The warm feeling consumed her hands as she felt her clothes slowly begining to transform into her suit. Her hair getting fixed up. Thankfully no one was around to see this happened, though most likely no one would’ve noticed, as she slammed the bottom of the scythe down and a black portal appeared before the Death goddess, and soon she stepped through it entering inside.

Cadance walked through the vast portal traveling off through time and space from the realm of mortals, as she slowly stepped off into what most mortals would call Purgatory, though here, Cadance called it home, where most Death gods were born at where the gods who control life or death went when they weren’t residing in the mortal realm.

The world of Purgatory was rather bland, compared to earths more vibrant colors. Everything here was Black and white, like an old movie. She walked through the world passing different buildings, Looking for the place she was meant to be at, passing souls where were not ready for heaven or hell.

She walked on passing a few cloaked men, reapers, mainly considered the guardians of Purgatory making sure the souls didn’t try to escape back to earth.

“Hey Cadance,” one of the reapers said as she passed them, she gave a slight wave. A smile as she walked on her thoughts focused as she eventually walked towards a paticular building it was tall and impressive as it stood out, for being what seemed to be a grayish blue. It was simple, though this was the place where the gods met when they need had important bussiness.

“What do they want with me now?” Cadance wondered as she began walking towards the building Passing the many souls who would turn watching her. Cadance sometimes wondered about these souls. So, many souls she had reaped over time, and taken them some went to heaven while others went to hell but plenty came here. It made her question In a way she wondered where Shining would go if he died. She shuddered at the very thought of that. She didn’t want to risk the idea of him dying, and she hoped that it wouldn’t happen for a long, long time.

She stepped inside the building looked towards the receptionist, a young hot blonde, Named Ellen Tail who was in life, killed in a car accident, daughter to a wealthy couple she thought she was on top of the world, But at the end caused a girl to commit suicide from constant bullying, It had knocked out out of going to heaven with her actions causing someone to die. But thanks to volunteering at local shelters, and not living to truly destroy her soul any more she wasn’t welcomed in Hell.

So till she could be scheduled for Reincarnation which would’ve taken another forty years she worked as a part time reaper. Helping out where she could. It looked like she got desk duty.

“I was summoned here, I’m Cadance Goddess of Lust and Death, who has summoned me for an appointment?”

Ellen Reached over typing on the typewriter as she soon moved around and pulled back, Cadance watched the typewriter begining to type back responding towards the young reaper.

“Ahh it says here Miss Cadance that you are needed on the third floor the Fate department.”

“Fuck, alright thank you Miss. tail, and Please it’s Ms. Armor, or just Cadance I insist.” She smiled as she would begin heading over towards the elevator. She cursed under her breath as she was clearly not wanting to deal with Fate today.

Fate, or the Fates as some called where probably the most annoying people to deal with, If Cadance had to describe the Fates, Imagine a woman working from accountain, who hadn’t had a good fuck in the last six month and hadn’t had their morning coffee. The Gods of death hated dealing with them, especially the fact they forced the natural order, and fate could on a bad day get a little nutty when it comes to who’s thread is cut.

She stepped out of the elevator and walked inside.

“Hello, Ms. Armor, it’s good to see you.”
Cadance would look over seeing none other than Celestia
