The story Pt.ll

Steel p.o.v

I sipped my wine with Luna, and Celestia at side enjoying their drinks as I sat continuing the story refilling their glasses in progress. Twilight clearly had questions, and Spike wrote everything he said down along with his half sister.
"I'd suggest we save the questions for after the story, then we can talk. I know you have much to ask, but bear with me. Now where was I"?

"A demon exploded taking you, and one other with it".
Spike quickly interjected, waiting for more to be said.

"Yes right , thank you as I was saying".

Everfree Steel p.o.v

There was a flash of light, and a ringing in my ears, then silence. At the time I obviously thought that this was death after death, but it had turned out by some saving grace I had been spared dying a second time. The sounds of rushing wind slowly caught my ears as the ringing dissipated, and my mind slowly started to catch up with me. I had however not fully become aware of myself until I had already hit the ground. After I had hit the ground I got up, and looked around. The only thing I had heard was the sound of birds chirping, bees buzzing, and the wind in the trees. I wanted to stay there, maybe even establish a home there, and live the life I wanted. I wanted a quiet peaceful life, but I felt this urge, this force made me want to go to some mysterious location, so I began following the urge heading to my new home. I tried to fly at first, but I had so little energy I could barely even make the attempt, so I was bound to just walking straight there for many days, and nights I walked no food, or anything just a straight shot there my stomach churned, and growled in protest, but I pressed on. At some point I had arrived at Canterlot, and saw the great disaster that was the place, but also saw that one of my fellow commanders had somehow wound up there. I had known that I was free from my job as a soldier, and that I was truly free, but that he would end that problem for me, so I did the only thing I could, and killed him for the sake of peace, and as you know I found the battle going on, but I didn't know what to do. Until I mustered up the courage, and attacked Discord he got defeated, but I was soon thrown into the crosshairs of the two princesses.

Celestia p.o.v

"Yes, that was quite the surprise of my love. In fact it was very scary for us. Your appearance wasn't exactly the most comforting if you would, but if I remember we were both very weary of you".

Me, and Luna had been searching for the Elements of harmony when we had gotten them. We quickly made our way back to Canterlot to take back our kingdom. When we had arrived we had to fight through many of Discord's obstacles, but we had finally made our way to where Discord had been at we fought, but were on the verge of losing, but our savior was something we never expected it was in fact that our savior was monster that Equestria had never seen. It had chosen to help us by distracting Discord long enough for us to power up the elements at which Discord knew he would be defeated, and took the position that would be his prison. We had turned our attention to the one that had helped us, but he was something that scared both me, and Luna to our very cores. He stood over us like a mountain over a landscape, his eye was red like the blood that dripped from his mouth. We had tried to use the Elements on him, but he surrendered to us unconditionally. Of course we have seen many times where an enemy would surrender, then try to attack at a more overtone moment, but something told us to give him a chance, so we both spared him waiting until everything could be put back under control. After all was said, and done we had him put in the now dungeon of the castle that he himself even participated in the construction of. Many months passed never once did he show any signs of aggression, or danger even openly making, and placing himself in his own cell never once trying anything. But he never spoke, only keeping to himself. It was odd for a creature of his kind. Much time passed, and we trusted him enough in the construction of the first settlement of Fillydelphia where he spent time helping build camps, and create small farms to help provide food for the residents. Sometimes he would venture into the forest bringing back foods foraged from it. When the first farms, and homes were being built, that's when we learned much more about him than we ever could imagine helping Equestria grow.

Luna p.o.v

He chuckled as he listened to Celestia's side of the story.
"Yeah, but I wish I wasn't so reclusive".

"Why doest thou say that it was a wondrous series of events that had led thou to find, and introduce us to those beautiful flowers".

The two sisters chuckled more as they kept telling more stories until they both remembered one that they loved the most.
"Oh sister doest thou remember when we went on our first date in the forest"?

Twilight tried to pretend to listen as Spike kept listening intently.
"Oh I do, that was the time we sat under your stars together".

"Yeah I remember that I asked Luna to come with me because I wanted to show her something, and they both had guards follow us".
Luna cut in continuing the story from her perspective

Me, and my Sister had gone to check on our prisoner from the residents sent to monitor his behaviours. Some of the residents had pointed out that he would leave in the middle of the night to the forest with some gardening tools, then return the tools. When we arrived we had met him. As a form of communication since he wouldn't speak to us, and we developed sign language to speak that had also caught on with many others who couldn't hear . He had requested we follow him one night after approaching us. We of course didn't trust him, but he had shown no signs of being a danger and we humored him. Me, and Celestia followed behind him with our weapons ready to strike if he were to make an attempt to attack us, but our weariness was put to rest only to be a bit confused by what was waiting for us. A blanket laid on the ground for us all with a basket, and a small manticore that he had tamed over the time of his stay that we had heard no mention of from the settlers. We were oblivious of it's visit, and we reacted with the most natural of reactions when it had suddenly approached from the bushes. We almost attacked the manticore, but were stopped when he stood in front of it to it's defense retrieving a bottle of what we had discovered was wine. Us, and our guards were all confused until he revealed the reason as to why we were there. We watched as he grabbed a crude rope, and began pulling slowly revealing a well kept ground with plants that had been at the moment we did not know what it was that was planted. Until the branches above were parted completely the full moon shining through them. He had motioned for us to sit, we saw no reason as to not humor him one last time we had sat down my sister, and I sat down as our guards stayed waiting to strike.

The moon lit our meeting place as we all talked until something caught my attention. At the time I assumed it was our eyes that were deceiving me, but this was not the case in fact the white flowers bloomed before our very eyes. Me, our sister, and our guards watched in awe at what was unfolding before us. He had walked over, and picked two of the blossoms, and approached us. The guards moved to stop his advances, but they were merely a side thought as he walked through them as they were nothing setting one flower in each of our manes, and speaking to us for the first time his deep, course voice had startled us at first, but we had quickly become squinted with it. His words outweighed everything about him, and diminished much of our doubts especially after our first talk.
"You are beautiful".

I had blushed as did Celestia who had also been entranced by the compliment.
"Thou's compliments are much appreciated, but what is this beautiful flower that thee has gift us"?

He smiled, and slowly started changing, becoming smaller, less deformed, and no wings.
"Where I'm from it's called a Moonflower it only blooms in a full moon".

Celestia, and I looked at each other, then noticed something that even caught the guards attention. It was a sweet scent that seemed to come from the plant that had been presented to us.
"Is this lovely scent coming from those flowers? It is most wonderful wherever has thy found these"?

His attention turned to my sister, then tilted his head to the manticore that he had with him.
"When I found him I was wandering around looking for food for the people in the town when I found him hurt. I saved him after a bit of a struggle, but he just stuck with me. When I had finished I saw what he was laying near, and decided to bring them here to show you as a thanks, and as a possible way to ask if you two would like to meet with me with the possible chance of marriage".

We had looked at each other, and were going to decline him, but were stopped by his words.
"I swear I mean you all no harm. I just want to be at peace for once, and I promise if you accept my offer I'll show you things you've never seen before. I can teach you things that will help this place in ways that will change your world forever".

We looked at each other again thinking of an answer, then came to a decision.
"We will accept thy offer on the condition that thee tell us whatever it is we ask of thou".

Our guards tried to protest, but we had silenced their remarks over time. He did as he promised. He showed us many ways to improve transportation, storage, and many other forms of development, and told us what he could about himself, and what he knew. In exchange we had many meetups, and each time we both fell in love with everything about him, but we feared he was hiding something one night while he slept. I snuck into his dreams, and it was then I witnessed his demons. That which haunted him was something that even I fear. I showed my sister what I had seen, and we had both felt sorry for him. When the day came that he had proposed we did not hesitate knowing that even with everything he had seen, and what he was, his heart was still pure.

Present

The five sat in place as the sounds of scribbling, and the breeze outside was the only thing that could be heard from the silence.
"If I can ask princess Luna, and Celestia what did you see in his dreams"?

The sisters looked at each other before their husbands' voices spoke up.
"They saw what corruption, greed, and pure stupidity can do to a nation. They saw what happens to guys like me when we sacrifice our lives for the sake of freedom, and peace. We pay the ultimate price for nothing in return, and in the end we become monsters that fight in an even bigger war, or suffer for all eternity".

He finished off his drink, then returned to his usual kind demeanor.
"You know I remember this one time when I first started to bake again Celestia would raid my ice box every time I would bake she would somehow know, and my wine cabinets".

Celestia blushed as the embarrassing story was being told about her. Luna laughed holding her drink in her magic grasp.
"Hey what're you laughing at Lulu? You're no better remember that time you snuck in my room because of Manny"?

Celestia started laughing at the memory of their old pet.
"That wasn't our fault, thy blasted manticore liked to frighten us, and we wished to snuggle with thou".

He laughed, pulling her close, and giving her a kiss making her blush.
"It's fine honey I always loved when we would cuddle especially when it was both of you together".

The sisters looked at each other, and smiled to each other, then to the man between them.
"You know we can still go to the castle, and stay there. We have some important things that you need to learn since you are our king".

"I would honey, but I have a friendship lesson tomorrow now it's a matter of who?
He scratched Luna, and Celestia's heads as he thought. Twilight watched as the two celestial sisters leaned their heads into his hands.

"Actually now that the story is over can we ask a few questions"?
Twilight had grabbed herself a notepad, and waited for an answer.

"Yeah sure go ahead it might help me think a little"

Twilight watched the head scratches intensify as she got herself into a comfortable, and professional position.
"Thanks ok, so firstly how can you fly without wings"?

He looked at her confused, then rolled his head chuckling to himself.
"Oh yeah well I have wings, but I choose to not use them, and to answer your next question they are stored inside of my body instead of like pegusi, and alicorns my wings instead of being tucked at my sides they are tucked away inside my body".

Twilight nodded her head as she noted the details down, quickly firing off her next questions as she continued writing with her magic.
"Ok, then why do your wings tuck inside of your body instead of out, and how does that work? Why do you walk instead of fly"?

He started scratching behind Luna's ears where she liked it, and rubbed Celestia's neck at the sore spots.
"Well first it's a protective thing really I mean trust me it's not fun having your wings cut off. It happened to me, and I never made that mistake again, plus it's more convenient than worrying about hurting myself. I just like to walk to be honest. And as for how it works I can't really explain it, it's very complicated is the best way to put it".

Her quill scribbled away as she thought of more questions. But was beaten by Spike.
"What gave you the idea for your date with the princesses".

The little drake was met with a pat on the shoulder by a bone hand as it's owner stood up, and pulled it off, setting it on the table.
"What had inspired me was that I knew Luna was the ruler of the night, and that she loved it's beauty. When I had first arrived, and made my way to Canterlot I had run into those flowers, but didn't think much about them. But to be honest I was surprised I found them in this world, but nonetheless it was nice they kept me calm. Many didn't know they existed, so when I first arrived here I started to wander the everfree looking for them, and planted them after I ran into Manny, so I can show her the beauty of the night".

Spike wrote down every word less worried about the half arm currently standing upon it's fingers, and wandering over to the kitchen. Twilight watched disgusted by it, but took the time to ask another question.
"Ok why did you not try to talk to the princesses, and tell them you weren't a threat"?

"Because what would you believe a giant monster saying I won't hurt you, or think it's just saying that, so you'll let your guard down, and kill you. Besides, I didn't know how to speak your people's language"?

Twilight tried to retort, but didn't say a word knowing that many times before she has seen it happen to her, and her friends.
"What do you mean you didn't know how to speak our language"?

"Hm, oh yeah I'm sorry you see since I came from where I did I had only known how to speak the ancient tongue, so if I had tried to speak anyway it would have only come out of growls, grunts, and other unintelligible things".

Twilight tilted her head confused by his comment, then raised a finger, but was quickly shot down by Spike asking the exact question she was thinking of.
"Can we hear it"?

"I wouldn't recommend that, but on a side note love the cheese, also believe it, or not I helped cultivate Equestria yo what it is now like the trains, hydroelectric dam, and most of the guards body armor, and weapons too, but my question is how did you guys manage to make trains already, and fireworks without making firearms, and things like that first"?
His gaze slowly shifted over to Celestia, and Luna. Luna was just as confused, and curious as the one next to her, but her sister on the other hand kept her eyes away from the group.

"Celestia what did you do"?
She sheepishly looked up at him, then looked away as her horn glowed, and a pair of books poofed onto the table in front of them all. Luna looked to her sister in shock, Twilight, and Spike were confused at the sigh that their demonic friend let out. The two books were different in size, and their covers also gave distinct differentiation from each other. The bigger book was black leather cover with red markings that Twilight hadn't seen before in a set of three rows running lengthwise to the book. The smaller one was a blue with a similar set of markings on it, but only a single row running across it.

"I'm sorry".

"Celestia no one read that one right? Because I hope you remember what I told you about what might happen if someone reads this".
Twilight watched his finger point to the large black book as Celestia lowered her head with a sad look.

"Who the fuck read it, and what happened"?
Twilight covered Spike's ears knowing the vulgarity. Celestia looked up at her husband, and let out a deep sigh.

"Umbra got her hands on it, and read a few chapters to my knowledge".
His eyebrow raised as his blood red eye stared into Celestia's eyes making her sweat before letting out the rest.

"She may, or may not have deciphered the texts, and became a demon like you".
His eye went from normal to the entire iris engulfing his entire eye leaving only a black dot in the middle as his teeth became sharp, and grew fangs.

"You're telling me you let someone read this, and there is a demon wandering around our kingdom. What the fuck is wrong with you I said never touch that one my journal fine whatever I don't care, but don't ever touch that one why can't you listen to me just once when I tell you something"?

"Hey don't talk to Princess Celestia that way, she's a good leader".
Twilight shouted to defend her mentor, but her eyes were met by one red eye staring at her so intently she could feel the blood in her body run cold, and the murderous intent coming from his body was, so strong, and thick she could physically feel it pressing down on her shoulders. As his cold voice rang through her ears.

"I would recommend you keep that mouth of yours shut just being with you this short time. I already can tell you're a know it all, but this is one of those times what you have to say will get you in deep shit. If I was you I'd sit down, and shut up".
His attention was quickly turned back to Celestia who's head stayed low not wanting to make eye contact with the angry demon.

"I'm going to tell you one last time never touch this again, and hope it was only a couple chapters of useless stuff because if it wasn't you will have brought this world it's end".

"I didn't mean".
Before the rest of her sentence left her mouth she was silenced by the sound of gagging from the kitchen.
Everyone present rushed over to the kitchen to find a bone arm holding a changeling by the throat on the ground thrashing around as the arms owner walked in. He kneeled down the arm reattaching at the elbow as the separate parts touched. The changeling was picked up off the ground, and was forced to look eye to eye with the large demon before him, and only three words left his lips.

"Who are you"?
