Chapter five

After his promotion, the two Royal sisters hardly bothered him afterward 'royal duties' they claimed but he was nearly crushed by Shining armor once the Captain of the Royal Guard had found him.

But for the rest of the month, nothing really of interest happened besides his left arm healing and adding a fresh scar and occasionally Shining stopping by to talk.

"So Lord Matthew" Shining said before Matthew cut him off "do not start calling me 'Lord' Shining it's not right." before he pats his shoulder "whatever you say, Matthew but I just wanted to ask are you attending the Gala tonight?"

Matthew raised an eyebrow at the Stallion. Before speaking "what is this Gala?" he asked while Shining chuckled. "let's just say if you said that in a Village you would get jumped by all of the Mares." before he laughed until a guard approached them

"Are you alright, Soldier?" Matthew asked while the soldier spoke. "I'm fine M'lord I came to deliver an important message." Shining nodded "well go on then Relay the Message." before the foot soldier nodded.

"Princess Celestia wishes to have an Emergency meeting with you Captain about the Gala and guard placements," he said before Shining and nodding his head "very well take a break you need one." the young Recruit nodded and saluted his senior before leaving.

While Shining leans over and whispers "that's a little gag Celestia pulls on the recruits, she tells them it's an emergency so they keep their Endurance up." This caused Matthew to scoff lightly.

"She worries about their ability to run longer but at the same time will ignore the fact that they can barely swing a Sword or thrust a Spear?" Matthew said while he shook his head.

"Celestia does care about them being able to fight; but mostly they keep the peace ." not long after Matthew just sighed, not in the mood to argue about his ways of Training in this country before speaking up again.

"Now with that disruption gone can you tell me just what the hell this Gala is?" Shining looked puzzled at his friend in all black "you don't know about the Gala?" he asked while Matthew just shook his head in Annoyance.

"no Shining Armor I was there when the first ever Gala happened. What do you think?" asked Matthew his voice of pure Sarcasm before the Captain punched his shoulder firmly.

"smart flank," his friend said before answering "The Grand Galloping Gala I believe is the biggest event of the year every noble attends, the main purpose was to Celebrate the completion of Caterlot and even commoners but they need tickets to get in or no dice."

"So you're saying I can attend?"Matthew said while Shining nodded "Attend? You could bring a small group of ponies without any form of tickets as your Guests to the Gala with your Status as a High Lord." Shining said before slowly getting up "It's time I go I have to see what her Highness needs from me."

Standing up with Shining Matthew offered his hand to the Captain "will I see you later on?" Matthew asked before Shining took his gloved hand. Giving a firm shake

"Sadly I can not. I'll be performing my duties but make sure to watch out for my sister Twilight Sparkle. And her friends, they saved your hide."

"How so?" Matthew asked while he chuckled "after Celestia took you here. Twilight sent constant letters pleading and begging with her friends to show mercy while having Spike write constant letters and send them to Celestia." Shining said before Slowly reaching over and grabbing his helmet. "why are they so worried for me?"

"Knowing my sister she most likely wants to learn more from you." After attaching it to his head the Captain of the Guard saluted Matthew "farewell my Lord." Matthew looked slightly annoyed again "I said stop that." before he walked away "sorry I didn't hear you!" he said before leaving the gardens.

'dick.' Matthew thought while shaking his head before heading out of the gardens and back to his guest chambers to rest until the Gala began.

Meanwhile, within the Carousel Boutique, the main six along with Spike had been getting ready for quite some time. Rarity demanded that they all take their time getting ready and cleaning themselves was a must.

" I can't wait to see that Bucking Sword!" yelled Rainbow Dash yelled while she flared her wings "and of course trying to get the Wonderbolts to recruit me!" before Twilight spoke up " easy rainbow I Don't know if our. Masked hero is ok, he told Celestia that he didn't want to be brought up in any Letters." This caught Fluttershy's attention as she spoke up softly.

"Do you think he's ok?" asked the shy anthro pony while Twilight nodded "Princess Celestia stated he is fine and doing well other than getting sick he's been ok ever since." While Rarity shushed them trying to get them all prepared for their Dresses. "Ladies! Please focus on preparing for the Gala? It is not wrong to worry about a Gentlecolt just yet." said Rarity while she implanted fake eyelashes over her eyes;

After painstakingly making them wash and clean to a Presentable state Rarity finally allowed them to get dressed now after all that was said and done the Main six were currently waiting inside the apple Carriage while the girls chatted with one another. Spike was left to manage the stallions who offered to help at Rarity's request

The ride was about Four to possibly eight hours. None of them had a watch so more time could have passed without any of the six Mares and baby dragon knowing. After entering Canterlot proper He followed a line of many other Carriages that led to the Royal Palace.

Seeing that his five friends and his Adoptive caregiver were busily Fantasizing about the event, Spike was left to either listen to them or try to chat with the two Stallions who had been pushing the Carriages.

And to be honest? Spike doubted they wanted to speak with him after he more or less whipped them to go faster earlier in the travels so the baby dragon sat there following the huge line.

Finally, it was their turn to disembark, jumping down with great haste he opened the unlocked door at the sign of them arriving while giving a bow his ears heard the ponies inside slowly get out one at a time.

After the last mare had gotten off he closed the door before turning back and seeing the main six "you six look amazing!" he half shouted before they began making their way to the gate;

//insert the 'at the Gala song' here//

Once their Singing was done the Main six approached the drawbridge before they could hear a few nobles speaking "could you believe that? Princess Celestia named that. that thing a lord!" said a mare noble to her fellow Noble.

"I heard she also named him a Lord Commander and some kind of Warden of the North? I mean what they hay even is that?" said the noble pony while they scoffed and made fun of this pony.

"What the hay is that?" asked Applejack to Twilight while she shrugged "I'm not sure maybe it's a new Noble position?" The purple Unicorn offered before they all walked up to the Guard checkpoint.

"Tickets please." the one in front said while twilight looked back at Spike "do you have them?" she asked while a face of fear flashed across his face "I thought you had them!"

Matthew had been Convinced by Celestia and by the maid Emerald Snow to not have his mask or hood up during the Gala as showing off his 'heart-stopping' looks would earn the respect of some of the nobility of Equestria.

Deep down he doubted this would even work Truth be told Matthew had never encountered nobles, especially ones who weren't taking the 'Black'. That was a whole new ball field for the Range- sorry the recently appointed Lord Commander. Standing in his restroom looking himself over in the Mirror he did what was possible.

Matthew was dressed as a Ranger, not a Lord Commander and sure in the Seven hells not even close to what a Warden of the North might be wearing to a Royal event but he needed to make do with what he had.

Taking his Cloak off for the third time the Cloak which was pure black while it reached down to the ankles of his shoes along with a second half layer of black fur. That covered his shoulders to just above his elbows in the front but any fur that wrapped around his back reached the center of said back.

Dusting it off and smelling his Cloak surprised that it smelled Shockingly of a field after some Spring rain. Compared to its old smell which was close to a wet dog and a Rotting corpse, the new smell was a better Improvement along with his clothes underneath smelled clean. "Emerald snow knows how to clean leather and Cloaks," he said before

Putting his cloak back on Matthew looked at himself in the Mirror and the color of him surprised him. He had noticed he was growing a beard. It was noticeable, maybe a light trim? This was a Royal event after all but this did fit the part of him being a Warden now.

However, the far north was abrasive. Any source of warmth helped whether it be facial hair or thick clothing was the difference between life and death.

Deciding to leave it and exiting the restroom Matthew finished the last Preparation and that was his Sword hovering his hand over his hand above where the handle lay resting against the bed. 'Should I bring my blade?' Matthew thought before shaking his head 'if this is a Royal event I can't unless they were at war. But isn't the Night's watch always at war?' deciding this should be left to how he looked, grabbing the Sword And heading into the restroom again

Once back inside he reequipped his blade after that he looked at himself

Stepping out into the hall he bumped into a Stallion by mistake "Watch it, Peasant! I just had my coat groomed and this suit is worth more than your clothes!" said a noble-looking Stallion.

"Easy there Sir it was a simple mistake there's no reason to be so Aggressive." Matthew reasoned before he half shouted "do not call me Sir! I'm Lord Blueblood to you. You're just a Foreigner that's allowed here because my aunt Celestia allowed you here."

Blueblood said walking away "if you want my forgiveness low-born don't show up at the Gala low borns aren't welcomed there." he said before walking away

'Gods and I thought Brother Robert was a pain in my ass. This blue blood makes my brother from the Watch look like a high priest!" Matthew thought before he followed him to where the gala was being held.

After arriving in the main room he heard a familiar voice "I'm the Personal student of Princess Celestia and one of the bearers of the elements of Harmony. If you can just send a Guard to confirm what I'm saying we can be on our way." said Twilight while the royal Guard answered

"And I'm Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's firstborn son. If you don't have an invite you seven aren't getting in." said the Guard before Matthew stopped him walking up behind the ticket checker.

"That's enough good sir," said Matthew while he approached the Checkpoint the Guard turned to see who he thought he would never see "My lord!" he, before Matthew sighed inwardly as the main six including Spike had all heard what he didn't want them to.

"let them pass they Earn tonight. For what they did against Nightmare moon." Matthew said while he nodded "yes, Warden of the North you seven may pass." before he knew it six ponies tackled him.

While they embraced him the leader of the five mares spoke up "don't scare us like that Matthew! we thought Princess Celestia might have sent you to the sun!" said a nervous Twilight before Rainbow Dash plowed her over "Do you have the Sword?!" she half shouted causing Matthew to grin and nod.

"yes Rainbow dash I have it." he said drawing his Blade and offering her its handle "Remember this is not a toy you can cut yourself or hurt Someone if you're not careful." before she fanboyed over the Blade and gently took it while Matthew turned his attention to Twilight again.

"she wouldn't send me to the sun would she?" he asked before the lavender mare spoke while Spike helped her up along with Fluttershy. "It's possible I did see her very upset before to the point she nearly Zapped a poor Guard who didn't give me the book I needed." Matthew shook his head while Rarity spoke up

"Darling I don't think I heard that Guard correctly but did he call you a Lord?!" half shouted the white-furred Unicorn anthro before he sighed and nodded 'there it Is. Old Gods dammit I hoped I was in the clear.' Matthew thought to himself before speaking

"Yes, Princess Luna had hailed me as the Warden of the North while Princess Celestia made me the next Lord Commander of the Night's Watch." before Twilight butted her way back in "Is that the group you're a part of?! I never got to ask you what the Night's Watch was like!" before Matthew raised his hand to stop the girls from overloading him.

"My Ladies, this is a party, please enjoy Yourselves and save the questions for tomorrow after midnight tonight I'm allowed to leave with you." all the girls Whined in delight which gave Matthew the creeps.

' I'll never get used to seeing somewhat human creatures making sounds of what they had been crossed with.' before all of them hugged him even Rainbow dash with his Sword.

"Please don't do that again rainbow dash," he said, snatching hold of the uncovered blade before putting it back into its sheath.

"what? I had it pointed at the ground!" she defended but he shook his head "that wouldn't have mattered, it's still very sharp, this blade isn't a toy next time when we're alone you'll get back." before she grumbled in slight anger while speaking "I have to go, girls need to prove myself to the Wonder bolts!"

Shouted rainbow dash before darting off like lightning from a storm "the hell is a Wonder bolt?" asked Matthew while applejack spoke up. "don't let Rainbow hear you say that she would slice your head off with your fancy Sword. My lord." applejack had added the Lord part awkwardly only being used to your highness and nobles

After Applejack finished speaking Matthew piped up "please none of you need to call me lord it's not necessary." Rarity and a few others had also dispersed while Matthew had seen Spike leaving the castle. Maybe he forgot so it didn't bother him much.

Applejack, however, nodded her head while clearing sweat from her head from slight nervousness "phew! Thanks, partner. I didn't know how you would act if I didn't call you by your title."

Before nodding his head "Farewell Applejack I'll see you later tonight if you'll excuse me." he said before heading off in the direction most ponies were heading. After making it to the doorway the sound of the music was being played while he saw a ballroom many of which had been dancing on the regal dance floor.

It was a shock Princess Luna had attended the Gala. She was alone beside a few Lunar night Guards keeping watch as her bodyguards 'no one wanted to dance with a princess. Wasn't that a great honor? Here or anywhere for that matter?'

Matthew had decided to do the noble thing making his way to her, and cutting through the noble ponies before two Lunar guards stopped him "I'm sorry Lord Commander but the Captain of the Night Guard has asked us to remove any weapons from those who wish to get near her highness."

Shaking his head while drawing his Sword quietly before handing it to the Bat pony "you are aware I'm of higher rank than your commander correct?" While she nodded "I do my lord but orders are orders." the night-themed mare said, causing Matthew to sigh.

Very well if I find something wrong I'll have your head on a spike." The bat pony mare seemed giddy at his threat. "I'll hold you to it my lord!" she said before prancing back to her position with his Sword in hand.

"I guess bat ponies take much more to scare?" he said while Luna answered him "tis correct lord Matthew the bat ponies are less common in the lands of Equestria but they are a hardy race while far stronger than common ponies ." the night Princess explained before looking towards the bat mare who took his sword.

"Your threat was seen as a mere flirty joke." shaking his head at that before Luna spoke up "but why have you come here? Shouldn't you be meeting your friends from ponyville?" the blue-colored anthro asked before he spoke up. "wanted to ask if you would like to dance."

Luna couldn't believe what sir Matthew had said before she shakily spoke up "Excuse me, my lord? D-did I hear you correctly?" she asked while the man nodded "back home in Westeros it's an ancient honor code that a lady of high standing must have a lord escort for the rest of the event."

She blushed before gently nodding "I Accept your offer, Lord Matthew." she said before gently offering her gloved hand which was of blue silk design knowing she wanted him to take her hand. Gently leaning over and placing a soft kiss onto her hand before taking her out to the dance floor "Forgive me, your Grace but I have no idea how to dance so this is going to be an interesting night."

That caused Princess Luna to chuckle softly before speaking "It's alright Matthew we can take things slow." she said while beginning to guide him on how to dance.

Rarity had found her 'Prince charming' or so she thought his name was Prince Blue Blood and in her honest opinion, she was getting very close to the edge of nearly strangling this oversized child.

He did nothing that a noble prince should be doing. For example, he didn't offer her the most beautiful rose in the gardens, instead, he took it for himself. 'it goes with his eyes' he claimed

And that was just the light stuff this Prince has done not holding doors or using his suit coat as a cover so she wouldn't slip instead he used a piece of her dress to do it!

Maybe some food would 'awaken his inner prince' she thought of taking him to Applejack Stand "hiya Rarity I See you found somepony" her southern friend said before Rarity spoke up "two apple fritters please." her Friend nodded before offering her what she ordered.

"that will be four bits" while she looked at prince Blueblood expectantly before he looked back at her causing her to sigh "I'm going to have to pay, aren't I?" Rarity asked before applejack waved her off.

"It's ok I got you covered," she said before handing them to the two ponies "thank you Applejack at least somepony has some Manners."
Rarity said while Blueblood took one of the fritters and took a bite.

Not before long, he spat the offending peasant food onto the ground below. "My noble lips have tasted peasant food! I've expected more from you, Miss Rarity! Who knew you were nothing more than a peasant trying to be a noble mare!" he said before stomping off.

Meanwhile Twilight had long since found Princess Celestia; she wasn't far from the entrance at the top of the steps before she threw herself at Celestia's feet. This action stunned the old monarch before she spoke up

"Twilight what is the meaning of this? You know you never needed to bow for me?" Celestia said before twilight looked up "I wanted to thank you for sparing Matthew he thought what he was doing was for the good of the world!" Twilight was about to continue before her mentor stopped her.

"Twilight it's alright we cleared up that mistake the next day everything is fine I promise you," she said before helping her star pupil up and using her golden magic to make her once again presentable.

"but surely that wasn't the only thing on your mind now, was it Twilight?" asked the Princess of the sun while she shook her head "of course not! I hoped we could catch up on all we missed while I've been at ponyville" this caused Celestia to giggle softly before nodding.

"Of course, Twilight you can stay with me all night and we can talk while I greet guests." This filled Twilight with glee as she shot over to her mentor's side not wanting to move for the rest of the night.

Matthew and Luna had been trying to dance with a near three dozen eyes on the pair more so for Matthew if he counted her Night Guards "no your hand is supposed to go here." said Luna blushing and guiding his hand to her side as the Night princess did her best to teach the newly named Warden of the North.

"I'm trying, you know, but having nearly half of the Nobility watching us is kind of unnerving. Luna" he said while she nodded "and I apologize for that Matthew but many nobles can't say that they danced with a Princess of Equestria." while the two continued to chat and dance

Matthew heard a familiar voice from earlier "you're nothing more than a Commoner trying to sway nobles you disgusting mare!" gently letting go of Princess Luna, he stepped away. "Forgive me but I need to check something."

She gently nodded "of course, Warden of the North" while he walked away the bat pony mare who had his Sword began to follow him to return his blade.

Soon after arriving at the source of the voice and would instantly regret seeing who it belonged to, it was Prince blueblood who was belittling Rarity.

Matthew wasn't going to get involved in reaching over and grabbing some wine. While taking a long drink until the nasty noble said " we nobles despise your class of ponies!" blueblood said before he spat onto rarity's face and dressed this was now his problem.

Walking up to the duo with the bat pony anthro still following he spoke up "is there a problem?" he asked before blueblood snapped to him like a cornered animal.

"Who in my aunt's name allowed a peasant like you into the Gala! And with your mutant whore!" pointing at the Lunar Guard Matthew moved in close having enough of this un noble behavior. "I think you've had a long night apologizes and go home."

"You Dare command me like a peasant? You're nothing you son of a bucking whore!" blueblood spoke, spitting into Mathews's face as well Matthew backed while wiping his spit from his face.

"call for backup." Matthew said while the bat pony mare grinned showing her fangs as she spoke. "My Pleasure, Lord Commander." she said before flaring her bat wings.

While she broke a dark pouch on her wings and a certain unnoticeable smell went through the Gala while two more Lunar guards showed up "take Lord blueblood outside. And find a strong wooden box." he said before the Lunar Guards went at blueblood dragging him outside.

"No! You can not listen. To him, I outrank him! Your Scum all of you!" he said shouting and yelling while they took him outside. While he turned his attention to Rarity "who else did he meet that you know?" Matthew asked as she answered.

"Applejack and Fluttershy possibly." Rarity answered quietly while his hand gently held onto her shoulder. "Do you think you can find them and bring them outside?" he asked as the white-furred unicorn anthro mare nodded.

Downing the rest of the expensive wine he sets the empty glass back onto the table than making his way outside he was pleased by the sight of a mixture of now Royal guards and Lunar guards gathered even a few nobles.

Making his way closer he could hear blueblood "if the peasants think they can scare me they're mistaken! Yes, very mistaken!" yelled the blue blood while he was forced to keep his upper half pinned against the wooden box.

Taking his Sword from the bat pony she grinned before flying up to have a front-row seat while Matthew sheathed his sword and pushed his way to the center standing over blueblood Matthew slowly drew the blade.

Planting it gently into the ground and holding it by the Pommel while rarity and Applejack arrived Fluttershy however was stuck in a net. Shaking his head before rarity opened it and allowed Fluttershy free.

"Now that everyone is here Rarity, tell me what happened with Prince blueblood," Matthew asked while she remained silent before turning his head to Applejack "tell me your account then." the farm pony nodded.

"Rarity and the Prince had been my second customers this whole night. They had asked for two apple fritters."Matthew raised a finger to stop her for a moment. "and how much is that?" he asked seeing if she would answer

"That was four bits. Anyway he wouldn't pay so Rarity felt like she needed to but I covered for her," said Applejack "then after he took a bite he spat the whole thing out! Said my goods were too good for nobles and that Rarity was impersonating a noble."

Turning his attention to the nervous-looking Prince Matthew spoke up and directed toward blueblood "was the food poisoned? Was that why you spat it out?" the Warden of the North asked before he spoke.

"yes! That food would kill a noble!" he answered before asking a question Applejack "do you mind giving the second fritter that you covered?" she nodded, walking over and giving him the paper bag it was in.

Using his wrist to hold his Sword still he pulled out the pastry and took a bite. The taste was nothing he had ever tasted. It was sweet, slightly crunchy, and gooey, after putting it away he continued the trial;

In the meantime, this ordeal had managed to get Princess Luna's attention while she joined the group watching the prosecution of blueblood before Matthew spoke up one last time to the prince.

"I Matthew the 777th Lord Commander of the Night's watch and Warden of the North sentenced you to death. If you have any last words, my lord Prince, now's the time."

Prince Blueblood was currently soiling himself; he had no idea what to say before Matthew spoke up. "If you have nothing to say" before he cut him off.

"M-my Lord I'm sorry! Not only for Spitting on Y-your fine clothes, and face, but for all I've done and said! Your Right! I need to leave! I had a long night!" blueblood tried to Weasel, his way out of this one.

Matthew raised his Sword before blue Blood shouted "My lord! please! Mercy! I beg you to show compassion! I'll apologize, I Swear!" His cry for mercy stopped Matthew's swing when he heard someone. "In the name of the day I Command you to stop!" yelled Celestia

While she walked over Twilight followed her "what is the meaning of this?!" shouted Celestia while her younger sister answered, "Lord Matthew was doing his Duties as Warden of the North." Luna defended, "I will not have a Noble killed at the Gala what crimes; did he commit." asked Celestia

"he had committed five Crimes, two against Rarity and three against me Celestia." while she listened, nodding her head for him to continue " he stripped her of her gown and spat on her as for me; attacking a High lord including, attacking the current, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Along with spitting on me."Celestia bit her lip softly, as she summarized that.

Matthew would kill him but she didn't want that, "how about a different punishment?" she offered to make him title his head "what are you Suggesting your Grace?"

"Maybe he could be banished from the castle for a year? or he could have his titles revoked?." before the human shook his head. "To light of a punishment at the very least he should be castrated, or death; either way, you see it your Grace he's not leaving this party unharmed for his Crimes." before Blueblood made a sound of fear not wanting to get them chopped off

Celestia thought for a long moment before finding a middle spot " what about wounded? Five crimes equal five wounds." This made Matthew pause for a moment; before nodding. "I find that to be an Agreeable standpoint, your Grace. Guards hold him up." Matthew said Sheathing his Blade

"Thank you Auntie Celestia I won't for-" Blueblood was cut off by Matthew's first connecting to his mouth; it sent him reeling back as he didn't expect to get it so soon.

"Stand him up," Matthew Ordered in a stern cold tone before landing a punch to his gut that effectively knocked the air out of the ungrateful noble.

Blue Blood was wheezing and coughing while trying to breathe on the ground as Twilight Applejack and Fluttershy watched along with many others.

They held faces of horror. however, the night guards approved of this harsh treatment. Before he spoke again "get him up, he's not done." before they did he drew his dagger and chopped his mane off.

After that was his tail while Celestia spoke up "one more lord Matthew then he's free to go." he nodded his head in acknowledgment before grabbing Blueblood's arm and bending it in a different direction.

The sound of bones cracking, and popping out, of place was enough for some nobles one had left to go vomit behind a tree, same for a few Royal guards. "drop him."

Once on the ground blueblood was in shock but still, coherent Matthew walked over leaning down and grabbed his mane making him look up at the Warden of the north. "Remember this Day if Celestia didn't save your honorless hide your blood would have been feeding the Flowers and your flesh the Crows," he said while he shook with fright.

"Y-yes my Lord! I U-understand!" Blueblood said before soiling himself a second time. "Night Guards and Royal Guards you're dismissed." Matthew said the day guards took no time in Running off to either empty their Stomachs or to get as far as possible from the Warden of the North.

The Lunar Guards seemed to be bowing to Matthew while the leader of this group spoke "we Honor your Strength Warden of the North, we shall spread the word of your honor and Strength to others."

Before returning to their original duties as the Night Princess's bodyguards. "So I guess your Guards like me?" he asked before Luna nodded "you might want to sleep with all the Windows and Doors locked now," she said blushing before he asked.

"Now what?" Twilight answered after stopping herself from vomiting. "bat ponies Either it be male or female, are attracted to strength more so during the Estru-."

Raising an eyebrow Matthew spoke." I don't understand?" before Celestia took charge of the explanation while Twilight finally threw up. "Lord Matthew imagined for me a lit Candle. bat ponies see another one of their kind as these small lights do you know how they see you now?" she asked while he shook his head no.

"They see you as a raging campfire of Strength. So when the Breeding season comes most females might go for you if given the chance." he was now blushing slightly "Great." Matthew said rubbing his face "well it was a pleasure Ladies. Your Grace's." he said before walking past them seeing it was midnight.

"Where are you going?" asked Applejack "to get my things then I'm off to the north. I can't be Warden of the North if I'm not in the north." Matthew reasoned while going to get his things

Matthew looked through the whole room to make sure nothing was being left behind. He went through everything he had his clothes and other items doing one final take he looked before finding Night guard Armor. before he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"My Lord~ take a load off and let this bat pony care for you~," she said while a long tongue wrapped around his neck as her hands tightened onto him.

It was the bat pony anthro who took his sword "M-my lady! This is N-not needed I promise you," he said while she hissed softly her bat wings flapped a few times before she flipped him around giving him a chance to see her uncovered body.

"Why are you out of Uniform?!" he half shouted while he tried to not look at her exposed body she drew her long tongue back while covering his mouth. "Shhh~ my Lord I was relieved from my Bodyguard Duties~ I want to be the first bat mare you claim~" she growled sensually; while sliding a hand down his chest while she locked her golden slitted eyes with his brown eyes.

"You and I, my lord will make Powerful offspring~," she said before she tried to lean in to kiss him, taking this moment he moved his head away. "My lady, what is your name?!"

She stopped her hand before she giggled as her sharp fangs exposed themselves while she leaned in close to his ear and whispered. "my name is Midnight blossom~ I'm the only Daughter and heir to the strongest and oldest noble house of The five bat pony clans~" taking this moment.

Matthew had his chance to throw the bat anthro pony off him before running out of the bathroom locking her inside while she hissed loudly trying to open the door. "My lord! Don't you leave me here!" Blossom shouted, he pushed a chair to block her while he left, equipping his mask and hood.

Making it outside the main six while waiting for him "where's Spike?" asked Fluttershy while Twilight thought "did anypony see him?" she asked after everyone said no she continued to think "I might know where he is." she said, beginning to leave the Palace "let's go to an old place of mine.

Matthew stayed Silent thankfully the main six didn't bother him. Thankfully while they traveled through canterlot to collect Spike.

Spike slammed his little claw against the counter while calling out "pony Joe another Donut!" while the anthro in question moved back over to the young dragon. "don't you think you had enough?"

"Another donut with extra sprinkles," Spike said before the door opened, seeing his friends and Matthew while Joe turned around and Chuckled "Twilight sparkle has been a long time, hasn't it? I see you brought some new faces here too."

"How was your best night ever?" Spike asked before the six mares laughed; before the owner of the store had gotten Twilight's usual order in case it was one of those nights.

Deep within the lands of always Winter. Deep under the frozen earth, the White Walkers had been frozen for thousands of years. Waiting to wage war against the world of the living again. while the new Night king within his protective ice shell cracked slightly. The slight disturbance awoke the Night king his eyes slowly opened showing deep blue and emotionle
