Celestia wakes up in darkened hallway with small glowing globes giving off a weak light, she quickly rises to her hooves worry seen on her face. 'Wasn't I resting in bed with Tec? Where am I? Where's Tec?' There're signs of battle on the walls and floor, marks of melee weapons and energy blasts even some explosions.

As Celestia studies the hallway she activates her magic to scan the area but she find nothing only emptiness. 'I need to focus, focus on any signs of life or magic.' With her concentration she finds two magical living signs, but she's to far away to know who's who. So Celestia starts to walk down the hallway to get closer to the magic.

Walking she finds that the walls, floor and ceiling are made out of cold iron fused with heat magic or something, the ceiling are grated with pipes and cables behind it. It seems that they made this hallways in sections, with a few meters per sections. 'It's interesting how they made these, maybe I can use this for something.' Her thoughts gets cut off as she coming close to a T-crossing and the sound of battle fills the left hallway.

Celestia hesitate but chose to get closer to the sound. As the sounds are getting closer, the hall about to change into a big room with a high ceiling, with 6 big pillars in the middle of the room are many bipedal creature fighting. They are wearing boltgun metal colored bulky armor with yellow and black markings and a iron skull on their shoulder, others are a mixed bag some with black armor with silver trim, some wear green colors and many more, they're all bigger then Celesita herself. 'It seems an alliance is fighting the those with an iron skull on them. But why are they fighting. The sounds weapons clashing and thunder that filling the room ends as warriors with iron skulls falls. The allied troops start walking towards a big door, opening it with a press on a bottom, the door sliding open on gears, they all rushes in.

Celestia follow suit entering a throne room, it's bare no decorations, no ornaments only a bare room with a throne made out of iron and on this throne sits a giant as it rises from it's seat the size difference is apparent. The other warriors are tall but this warrior king is a half a body bigger then them, his armor is metal in color, so bulky that it only look to be in the way, it was three big pipes on the arms and he's carrying a big hammer almost the size of himself. It sparks to life with electricity power.

As the fight is about to start everything turns to black. Celestia looks around and finds a coach with dark red colors. Laying on the coach is Tec sleeping peacefully. Celestia is about to walk over to Tec but freezes in shock as a black/blue mist enter and surrounds the coach and Tec and a voice speaks softly, a voice Celestia haven't heard in almost a thousand, her sisters voice in the form of Nightmare Moon.

"My little Tec are you having another one of your weird dreams again. Another memory part of a story you heard?" Nightmare says as she takes her form. Her black fur and flowing mane and tail, cyan eyes with a soft glow focused on Tec. What Celestia realize is that Nightmare is not wearing her armor. Nightmare muzzles Tec so she wakes up.
Tec awakens blinking a few times then sits up and stretches herself like a cat.

Tec: "Morning Night, did I have another dream?"
Night: "Yes Tec, you where dreaming of another story i guess."
Tec: "Witch one?"
Night: "Don't know, it was another fighting one, like the first one I saw. But with other characters and a giant with big bulking armor and a big hammer."
Tec: "What color was the armor black, metal, green?"
Night: "Metal."
Tec: "Ah, then it probably was Perturabo then they're many battles I have heard of. Anyhow so what's our plans for tonight?"

Celestia stands there watching as her corrupted sister and her now adopted daughter talks like they have been friends for some time. Her throat becomes dry, she swallow a few times then clear her throat with a cough. Both heads turn to her. Red eyes turn to shock and cyan eyes turn to shock then anger. Celestia is about to speak when Nightmare throws herself against her manifesting her armor as she dose.

Nightmare tackles Celestia to the ground standing over her she screams. "Celestia I have vow the day I can slay you, my dear sister." Nightmare blast a spell against Celestia whom raises a shield. "Sister calm yourself."
They start fighting blasting magic against each other, flying, teleportation. Celestia is losing the battle as now she knows now that they are in Tec's dream, so she can't fully use her power. Nightmare use her dream magic to take control of the dream and capture Celestia with tentacles. One around a abdomen and wings, others the legs and around Celestias throut.

"Sister are you ready to lose your mind. Become a dead husk in the waking world." Celestia tried to teleport again but nothing happens.
"Oh dear sister, we're in the dream realm I can take away your abilities and make you into nothing."
"Luna, please don't do this. Stop."
"It's Nightmare Moon. Not Luna, Luna is gone." Nightmare charges her magic.
"Your still my sister, please don't do this." Celestia's horn lights up but no magic manifest.

As I woken up inside the dream realm again by Nightmare Moon, I was shocked to see Celestia inside the dream as well. What more is that Nightmare tries to kill Celestia. I'm frozen in my spot as I see them fighting almost getting hit a few times by stray shots or blast of magic, only to have blue or golden magic blocking the attacks. It seems that both of them are protecting me. I'm in awe at this fight between two alicorns that's until Celestia is capture and is about to be killed.

Shaking my head I try to activate my magic, but as this is a dream I can't use it correct. 'Wait this is a dream connected to my mind, I need to concentrate. FOCUS. With a headache starting I succeed change the dream.

As Nightmare Moon is about to kill Celestia, something stops her magic and the tentacles that holding Celestia disappears, they hear a gasp the both of them turn to look at whom that made the sound and what they see shake them to their core.

Tec is laying on the floor unconscious and beside her stands a tall white alicorn with Red mane and tail, blue motherly eyes looking at them. Both of them starts to cry and shaking, uncertain what to do they speak.

Tia and Night: "Mother?" With a shaking voice.
Faust: "Yes and no, my daughters. I'm a creation of Pe-erm, Tec's memory as before she came to our world she meet the real me." Faust walks slowly to them, with loving eyes, Nightmare cower back, Celestia is leaning into a hug. After some time Nightmare is dragged in as well, she struggles but loses the will to fight and just accepted the hug, as they released from the hug Celestia and Nightmare dry their tears, looking at their mother.

Faust: "My daughters, sweet daughters I have longed for this for so long."
Tia: "Mother, but how did you get created by Tec?"
Night: "I would like to know that as well." Faust shake her head.
Faust: "I'm not sure, but I know she most have forced my creation through dream magic and her memories." Faust activate her magic to levitate Tec towards them laying her between them.
Faust: "I asked him, I mean her too look after you if you needed help and it seems this time she called me to help you both calm down."

Faust, Tia and Night are looking at this small changeling princess,
Faust: "It seems to be the right thing to do."
Tia: "Wait so the magic I sensed in Tec was your magic?"
Faust: "Yes, as for her soul and new body need to adjust to our world, I needed to use my magic to keep her alive til they are fused together, this might have some effects on her."
Night: "What effects?"
Faust with a sad face: "She will never live a normal life, her power are stronger then many living creature. The most troubling thing is because my magic is part of her she might live forever, but I'm not confident if that will be the case."
All three are watching the small thing between them, unsure if they can do somethings for her.

After a time in silence Faust form becomes disturb and blinks in and out existence.
Faust: "Seem she's waking up, take care of yourself and this little one. I love you both." With the dream ending they all return to the waking world.

I open my eyes only to see the black void with glimmering stars and a grey surface I have seen for so long and in the distance I see Equus and where my new friend is living. "Wait for me Tec I will come and find you and take over Equestria, make the best life for you, for US." Nightmare says into the empty void.

Opening my eyes I sits up strait as I see a maid looking worried at me.
"Your Highness I'm sorry to disturb your rest but it's time to set the sun." I control my emotions and smile at the maid before me.
"Thank you Feather Dust, I will do so right now." I rises to my hooves and walks over to the windows with flick of my magic I do my daily task of setting the sun and rising of the moon.
' I wonder how long have my sister and Tec been meeting in the dream realm, why have she not said anything. I can guess that Nightmare can enter Tec's dream because she's not from this world. Why have she not used Tec to escape maybe she can't. Still I need to keep an eye on her for now, as I can't do anything in the dream realm.

Looking back to the bed I see Tec flopping of the bed and hit the floor hard.

I feel my world shift as something leave my warm embrace of the bed and the sound of magic fills my ears. As I open my eyes I see Celestia lowering the sun and raising the moon, I try to rise but my head hurts to much so I opt to roll of the bed. With a sudden free fall, I hit the floor hard I feel the air leave my lungs and I whimper as the cold floor chills me.

"Are you okay." Celestia ask me with worry.
"Yeah, just a headache that is making it hard for me to move." I roll around on the floor so that I face the hooves of Celestias and the maid. As they watches me.

"Come here Tec I will take you to the dining hall so you can get some food in you. You haven't eaten anything since this morning and your little snack form Ice Pike." Celestia says teasing me.
My Face redden at that, getting a flash back to my first kiss in this body and the overpowering love that came with it. "What you saw that." I ask embarrassed. Celestia uses her magic to put me on her back and starts to walk out of the room down the hall.

"Yes and I heard you warn her not to do that or mommy Tia will kill us." She says in a sing song voice, her happy tone irritating me.
With a hard smack I facehoof my self with so much force I almost fall of her back. "Please don't tell anyone, erm any creature. I don't want them to know what I said."
"It's to late for that isn't that right Feather Dust and Shield Break." I look at the maid and guard that's following us. I give them a death glare and make a motion with my hoof of sewing their mouth shut. The maid just gives me a snicker and guard just stare into nothingness. It seems they will do as they wish and with a body of this size I don't look threatening, with a sigh I lay my head on Celestias back.

As we enter the dining hall, I was seated beside Blueblood. We eat and talk til its time to sleep. As I had a long nap in the day I can't really sleep, so I trained my flying skills until I made my wing muscles sore with use and of course two Pegasus guards follow me in my flying. As I entered the room after my training I do a quick shower and hit the bed with a hard time trying to fall asleep.

As I lay there my thoughts dancing in my mind I think back to the dream. "How did Celestia enter the dream? How did thing end after the dream Faust became manifested? I will have to ask Celestia next time we meet, I guess she has a lot of questions for me. Sighing I roll to my side and focus on going to sleep.

Ice Pike enters her friends Light Sparks home dressed in a fine blue silk dress matching my eyes, with small white gems decorating me. Many nobles has gathered here today to gossip and to make deals, I recognize many of them as its always the same family's that gets together.
We have the 'Gilded Hoofs' they are gold miners and they supply Equestria with the gold to make Bits. 'Greed is their name if I could name them. Always finding ways to bend the laws so they can make the most Bits from it'.

The 'Clouds' even if they comes from Cloudsdale from the beginning they have set a big presence in the weather team and air ship marked, many in the family have made deals with the wrong ponies and are stuck with them. They're also Thunder Splash family 'I feel bad for her, as many of the mares and stallions want to use them or more correct her, if it wasn't for me and Light Spark she would be in a bad place.'.

Then we have the 'Stars', one of the oldest families in Canterlot they have a hoof in every pot there is and are part of the Council that help run Equestria. They're a force to fear. They can get what they want with little to no effort.

My family is here as well 'Iron tip' we have a strong hold on iron mines and refineries. With a line of many strong soldiers and guards that have come from our family.

Last we have the hosts of to nights gathering the 'Glimmers' they have served Celestia from the funding of Canterlot and knows how to get to the top. 'Light Spark what I have heard is going to be the next head, if everything goes right that is.'

There are many minor families here as well. Most are allied with one or more families through marriage or deals I join my two friends and greet them happy.

I bow to them and rise directly and with a smile. "Greetings lady Light Spark and greetings lady Thunder Splash, a lovely evening we have.
Thunder smiles and gives a weak reply. "Evening lady Ice Pike."
Light rolls her eyes. "Oh, please Ice stop with this dumb old greetings. You know want think of that kind of power move."
I snicker. "Yeah I know, but it's fun to see you act all stuck up. So want have you both been doing today?"
Thunders eyes light up and she starts speaking quickly. "I was with my daddy and we was visiting to airship plant where they're working on the new idea we got from Chief Engineer Gear Track and the work is going really well." And she starts to trail of with high tech knowledge, I can't follow her as it's a bit over my know how.

As Thunders stop talking I look over from her to Light. "Thanks for the info drop, want about you Lights. Did you do anything to day."
She gives me a cat like smirk. "Oh same old, same old. Train, work do things for my family. But what I'm more interest in your is want for fun things you did in the castle, what fun things have you learned about our new target."
I feel my heart beat fast but with my training I keep my cool or I might have been red in my face. "Well." I flag them to get closer to me, as they do. "Well I meet with Tec'ondra and got to speak with her, she can be a great ally or dangerous enemy. Her knowledge how to break a creature is scary." Thunders gives me a worry look, but Lights gives me there's more face.
I let out a sigh. "You didn't hear this from me but princess Celestia has adopted Tec'ondra as her own daughter."

"WHAT, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" Light screams out. All sound in the room falls quiet and eyes turn on us.
It was broken by an deep voice. "LIGHT SPARK, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?"

An old stallion joins us eyes filled with rage, face twisted and red, this is the oldest member of the Glimmers. Sparkling Glimmer his orange coat that has become dull by age, sharp eyes with light blue color, mane and tail in a strong silver that comes with age. He is well groomed wearing a grey suit with a pink tie and a yellow flower in the front pocket.

Sparkling rises his right hoof and is about to slap Light, as he go all out with the slap I step in and let it hit me, throwing me to the floor. He clicks his tongue. "Stay out of this lowborn knight. This is between your betters." I get help up by Thunders as I reply. "That might be, but her reaction is because the info I gave her. So if your going to slap somepony it's me." I stare at him with defiance.

His redness lighten as he give a quick look around the room as to evaluate the situation, then he return to us. "So what is the information that made her so rattled to make this scene." I look at my friends feeling the slab on my left cheek and the throbbing pain. I lock eyes with him and stands tall. "I got to know that her highness princess Celestia is adopting a new charge."

Murmurs quickly starts by the other guests. Sparkling Glimmer anger fades as looks me over to value the truth of my works. "Who told you about this? Ice Pike." Glaring at him I say. "Princess Celestia herself." Somepony in the crowd murmurs grow louder and words like, impossible, what is she thinking, why haven't we heard anything.

Sparkling Glimmer raises his hoof and it quickly becomes quiet and he ask. "So whom is this new charge you're talking about as it seems this reaction wouldn't have happened without knowing who it is."

Light Spark steps forward. "Great grandfather, do you remember the incident a few days ago. On the training grounds." He gives a nod and grimace, Light continue. "It seems that princess Tec'ondra form the Everfree hive is the one to be adopted.

The room explodes in outrage and bewilderment as the various families talk about this up roar to their society, their Canterlot. All of it stops with the roar of Sparkling Glimmer. "Everpony out! Get as much information on this and how that white bitch could hid this from us." He pauses to see if anything moves. "NOW!" all ponies in attendants scrambles to get out of the doors.

I to is forced to leave with my family the last thing I hear is Sparkling Glimmer screaming at Light Spark that she should follow her.

'Well this became a shit show. I'm sorry Sparks and I'm sorry Celestia..... Tec I'm sorry but you will have to fight sooner then Celestia planed.

Author's Note

Hello all.
In this chapter there will be a bit of splits and follow many various characters (Ice Pike gets her first part).

There will be some world building, new characters.
I was thinking of making it like in the old medieval days that families with power came together and share things they know make deals and bully and push around all that's against them and of course pull rank.

The dream is taken form a piece in "Warhammer 40k 'Angel Exterminatus'." When we follow two primarchs and their armies, the shattered legions and many other characters. This part is only mentioned as it happens before the book begins.

Next chapter is only a first draft, so it might take some time for me to get it out. As there is court and other things to get to my liking and some more vile characters to make.

Thank you all for reading.
