In my Eyes

Sirus (P.O.V.) ===========================================================================

The first rays of sun filled the room with a welcoming morning light. I looked through the windows and saw the same weather that it had been for the last few days, sunny and cloudless. Three nights had passed quicker than I could ever want. And each single night was different in so many ways.
The first, I found a drunken and playful princess. The second, a somewhat emotional alicorn and the third, just a sweet simple mare, just like she said.

I found myself starring at the celling then, after realizing this, my eyes lay on her. I could feel her, moving her head on my chest while she cuddled. If it wasn’t for that horn in the way I guess I could give her a kiss without she even dream of it but if I try to move I will surely wake her.

Without that tiara and necklace she really just seems just a normal alicorn… ok that sounded stupid… but even so, with her head laying there she seemed so… peaceful.

I wondered how she end up lying on her side with her head resting on top of me, last time I recall she was still fully on top of me and I didn’t feel her moving… well, I guess I was pretty tired… last night she was pretty insatiable. Eheheh!

“Room service” somepony entered the room. Guess this mean breakfast is ready.
Moments later I heard that pony leave the room. Hmmm what if somepony found her princess in the arms of a ‘dragon’, what would happen then?

I kept staring to the celling, while I stroke her mane. Softly so I wouldn’t wake her. I knew this was our last day together but she looked so… lovely. O…kay… now I sound too cheesy.
My little mind conflict was ended when I heard her soft morning voice… just with a hint of grudgingness

“M-morning… *yam*” she had such a nice smile, and those eyes that were still half open seemed to give her some sort of innocence look.

“Morning! Sleep well?” I asked her, probably with a smile in my face. it felt weird having my armor plates all folded for such long periods of time. In a way i felt naked but i guess its more than natural to be like this on a bed

“Hum humm!” she placed a small kiss on my cheek, and rested her head again in my chest. I kept petting her mane while she cuddled closer to me. This really felt like paradise, being here with her, under the sheets.
Her voice, once again, made me snap from my daydream

“Are you… hungry?” oh boy! This question! Eheheh! Yesterday it lead to something more than eating but she also had a hint of slyness on her voice and today was just asking out of laziness.

“hmm just a bit, I guess!”

=====================================================================================

The breakfast ended without a word between us. While we ate, we looked everywhere but to each other. Yup, we knew what was in store for us after this last meal together. Separate ways…

“Sirus?” her voice was of uncertainty

“Hmm?” after being quite for about an hour it was all I could get out of my voice.

“Could we talk a bit before… you…” I had to cut her there

“Sure! What you wanna talk about?” I tried my best to sound cheerful… I didn’t impress her or myself

“I wanted to at least say… no… I need to say that…” her voice was so lost “that… this was something special and important to me…” I was a bit confused by this, what did she meant by that? “I mean… I never…....” oh GOD! Was she a... but she didn’t show any signs of pain in the first time “what am I trying to say is that I will never forget you… even if we go to separate ways…”

“Hmm… Celly?” great! Now I had to slip her nickname. Thankfully it was a whisper.

“I don’t wish this but you must understand… my duties…” yeah the duties huh? “and… I will be here forever… it’s already hard as things are now… but please” this one almost made me laugh, if only she knew… “Please don’t hate me…”I couldn’t hold a small chuckle.

“Errh! Sorry about that!” I had to control myself “Don’t be so hard on yourself. I know you have to go to your royal business and if you ask me, I am not cut to those things” at least not anymore “so I guess in the end, we both knew what was in reserved for us right?” … at that time I didn’t think it would be so hard… and right now it felt so bad saying these things

“Y-ye-s” it was a faint whisper.

For the longest five minutes of my existence we stood there, just like statues, barely blinking. I really couldn’t mix up with her… not because I didn’t enjoy being with her but… royalty? Seriously… no! But was I going to leave her just like that? C’mon Sirus you are better than that. Then again, what about your promise? But what about what you took from her? I mean even if she is eternal that’s something you only lose one time… right? Ugh my head…

“Celly?” and again her pet name went flying… bad Sirus! Too cheesy!

“Yes?”

“I know we agreed to part ways when your vacations ended” I was getting a bit nervous “ but at that time…” ok think! Don’t be too full on frontal assault! “I think we didn’t know what we were getting into it, right?” great Sirus… just prolong your suffering “I mean… erh… this isn’t really what you want?” perfect! You just pointed a gun at her head! Next time why don’t you point your artillery at her and ask her to marry you? “Wait… erh…” I heard her giggle

“Aren’t you adorable when you get all nervous!” at least she was smiling now. That gave me a little reassurance

“I mean… I could always return to my sky… if she wanted to” I think I just earned myself a new meaning of being frontal

“Is it me or are you asking me to be yours?” I could tell she was enjoying this. Since the last two times she was on this exact position with me all acting all brave and macho…

“hmmm… yeah…” well there wasn’t no turning back now. I felt her grabbing my face and pulled to a deep kiss. After a moment she broke the kiss and stared at me

“Is that good for an answer?” her voice was warm now. No hint of sadness

“It depends on what that means”

“It means I want that back later” she winced at me. The air around seemed to gain its former glory

“Later?”

“Yes. I still have some time till my vacations are over”

“Oh!” I think now I get it. She pulled out a scroll

“My sister wants me to spend more time out that I initial planned. She already set up a two week vacation”

“So this means we still have two weeks to spend together?”

“Not quite!” something tells me that this isn’t going to end like I wished “You see, before we crossed paths the second time, I sent a letter to my faithful student to invite her to a trip with me and her friends. It’s the least I can do after so much she has done so far”

“So what? You’re going to spend time with them but that doesn’t mean you busy all the time”

“That’s not entirely true but I want to spent time with them just like a normal mare, not like a princess”

“I think I am not following completely”

“It means that if you want to be around you need to be… disguised”

“Disguised? What you mean?”

“You need to be something more natural around us”

“Natural?” why I get the funny feeling that I sound slow and dumb

“Yes natural! Something that doesn’t attract too much attention”

“Attention?” ok now I am sure I am being dumb but I don’t get it

“Sirus. It means if you want to be with me you need to transform yourself to something more natural”

“oh… OH!” now I got it!

“Now that you seem to fully understand, you still want to come?”

“Sure, why not!”

“Ok! Choose one: Pegasus or Unicorn?”

“Pegasus or Unicorn?”

“Yes which one you would like to turn into?”

“Hold on a sec! You’re saying that for me to be near you I need to turn myself into a pony?” I couldn’t process me… becoming one of those… things!

=====================================================================================

After a long exhaustive conversation I finally understood what she meant by those choices. She somehow knew that I could use magic and thank god she didn’t go asking why a dragon would know that. So she gave me to choose what I would like to use during her vacation. Magic or flight. Magic I can live well without it but not without my wings so I choose to become those little guys that I loved so much to blast away. A Pegasus…

Opening up my eyes, I saw all things around increased in size and when I looked at her I almost broke my neck. She was huge!

“I-is t-that you Ce-lestia?” I was shocked

“Now aren’t you adorable!” she had a funny look on her face. A look that one does when sees a new pet… I was already regretting playing along with this

“Can you please turn me back to normal now? We aren’t there yet!” I wasn’t very fond of this, especially with that funny look on her face

“Don’t be like that! You look so cute now” I looked at myself. The difference between me and those guards of her was just the swap in colors. My coat was blue and I had silver white mane. Also my body build didn’t seem bulky like those guards meaning I was just your regular average looking flying pony A.K.A. a Pegasus…

“Cute or not just… ugh… can we go already?” I officially regretted my decision.

“I am sorry, first I have to arrange a few things back at Canterlot. I will probably take a whole day with them so in the meanwhile…” she gave me a bag with what it looked like golden sugar cubes “you have to imbue this with magic so you can transform between your main form and the pony one. You still remember the incantation?” how could I forget what it turned me into this… THIS!!! I took the bag and place in my saddle. Hmm I wonder were this came from… meh, magic.

“Does this means I have a free day ahead of me?”

“Day and night, since I will most likely spend my night in Canterlot!”

“Oh I see, to get proper rest?” I had to say that, already a grin forming on my face

“Yes proper re-est!“ yup she was blushing after realizing it, even being so mighty and tall doesn’t mean I can’t hit you hard baby… hmm that sounded something I said yesterday while she was doing…… nevermind

“Now, look who looks adorable!” revenge is sweet, but short lived. When those purple orbs gaze upon me I felt my spine freeze, I know she wouldn’t do anything bad to me but… she was huge! I cleaned my throat “ahem… so… where will we gather tomorrow?” this question seemed to lighten her up

“Take this with you” it was a small red medallion “keep it and tomorrow morning I will channel my magic onto it and teleport you” I was still looking to that medallion when I remembered that I had given something similar to her in a form of a stone. If she still has it, I think tonight she won’t have a proper sleep either. Eheheh!

“I have one more question.” I had something going on in my mind

“Yes?”

“You told me we were going to spend these vacations with your faithful student and her friends right?”

“Why yes! They are a very lively group of mares! You will sure enjoy their company.”

“Wait! You said mares, meaning every single one of the group is female?”

“Yes that’s correct.”

“So you mean I am going to spend two weeks, 24/7 with girls only????” I could almost imagine the things… shopping, dressing, manicure and HOLY SH*T… I didn’t want to think more about it.

“Is there a problem?” I guess she found out that when she looked to my face

=====================================================================================

I was already in the skies, with my main form, taking flight back home, so I wouldn’t draw attention using any kind of magic. I was still recovering from that part that I was the only guy in the middle of a group of unknown females to me. I could only imagine the worst possible combination: an energetic one that wouldn’t shut her mouth and had to party all day long; a tomboyish girl that showed herself a lot but crumbled under pressure; a snobbish wanna be artist with more make up than winter cover; a workaholic, funny accented old timer one; a shy one with some weird affection with animals; and last but not the least the geek one! Yeah, no perfect group is completed without the nerdy one!

But then again what are the chances of that happening? I mean it’s too weird for that happen right? … I couldn’t help but to have that funny feeling… two weeks with a group like that?... I think I would call Celestia crazy for having such bunch to go along in a vacation.

Yeah I promised the moment I saw a group like that I will look into her eyes and call her something out of the blue.

=====================================================================================

I felt some magic rising… It was him. Finally! Lazy bastard, always sleeping ‘just five more minutes’ huh? Next time he should say ‘just a thousand years more’… at least now he could sleep two more weeks. Guess tonight I can’t go give Celly a proper night.

And speaking of her… I hoped my brother have forgotten about that little fight between the sisters… never saw him worked up so much for a female, since he could have whatever mare he wanted…

I knew he did this little magic to turn himself into one of those ponies, going around like a Casa Nova doing his own business leaving me to clean up his mess.

It was my fault to read a book about some creatures called vampires… not that he was interested in blood, but let’s say he perked up when he listen to those parts were the vampires lured their victims with their charm and power… all that mystic mambo jambo seemed to give him a lot of ideas of how to use his powers for his own profit…

But strangely enough, that case of the sisters made him really mad by some sort of reason… I mean if he wanted Princess Luna, why he didn’t do that magic of his and did business…

Not to mention Celestia had a valid point in doing what she did… well to a certain extent she had… I think a thousand years is a bit harsh but I am not the ruler here.

I went through the skies trying to get high enough to see the stars. I had to go get him before he goes to sleep for ‘five more minutes’. And if that airhead had already forgot about that sister’s issue, I could drag his bottom with me to that vacation… i mean he would have six mares to fool around with if he got lucky... and speaking of lucky, thank god he doesn’t like one bit of Celestia in that sense or I think I would had to exile his sorry ass!

Then again I thought it was better not to take him… for safe keeping…

=====================================================================================

“Wake up you lazy bum” damn why does he love to sleep deprived of air and warmth? If it wasn’t for magic I wonder how would I talk to him… probably punch him or something

“Zzz.. err.. wha?... just… Zzz… five more… Zzzzzz” he had some ice formed around his body that cracked when he moved.

“You said that a thousand years before…” I was a bit annoyed knowing full well that it wasn’t the first time he left me alone lurking around Equestria for such long periods of time

“Zzzz but… Zzzz… just more…zzz… two… Zzzzz… can you… close… Zzz… the window? its cold” Ok, that does it!

“Oh is it now? Here! Let me warm you up” using a bit of magic I gather a few stars that burned wildly, placing on his skin. It only took a split second for him to shoot up from his position

“WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR?” his eyes were red from sleeping… well actually it was his natural color…

“Glad to see you too” typical familiar reunion… he stretched a bit before looking around, trying to make sense where he was… sometimes I had a feeling he was more carefree than me… probably just random if it wasn’t for his patterns.

“How long did I sleep?”

“About a thousand years…” I was getting more annoyed with that… how could he be so calm

“woow, I overdid myself this time! So, what’s new?” what the hell does he think I am, a news reporter?

“Oh nothing much, just ponies going around, the kingdoms are at peace like always and your sweetie pie is back on the throne.” I knew this would stop his stupid questions

“she is not MY SWEETY PIE!.... and don’t call her that!” eheheh I loved to tease him like that, who knew that a Casa Nova like him would be all soft and shy because of one single female.

“Well if it isn’t I guess I can keep sweetie pie for me” ok, I knew I had about three seconds to be out of there before getting roasted

“You are so dead” and the chase was on!

=====================================================================================

Night was already settled… but not our little ‘get together’. Lucky for me that I have more agility than my brother or I would seriously been erased from the face of the planet!

It was in these little familiar reunions that I told him that power itself was nothing if one could just keep evading it. And was also the reason I prefer wings over magic.
Strangely enough he had four wings, he should be the one with more agility, but his wings represented power… dark power to be exact.

For most this was always an issue, thinking he was going to be a bad guy or something, but no. Actually the only thing he ever did bad was once, breaking the heart of a mare. Telling he only had feeling for one… yeah right, typical excuse...

But then again he was the one that held that darkness of most. His power was to absorb darkness, meaning he had to live with that 24/7 nonstop… so in a way he was more of the poor one, having the burden of others on its shoulders… I guess that’s why he wanted to sleep while the night princess was exiled, probably to absorb the most darkness he could.

Then again my power isn’t one that’s very good… I only used once and…………….

The word for my power is “Purify”………………

Such harmless word for such… thing……..

After I saw mother falling in that state my mind went blank… but I know I was the one to “purify” our home, our skies and our sun… even my brother couldn’t hold the darkness that formed within me…

Thinking about this made me regret my decision of going along with Celestia… I know what was brewing inside my chest for her but that could spell disaster if things went wrong. It took only a split second to be pierced by one of my brother’s dark beams. It felt like a pine tree was piercing into my left wing.

“Sirus! SIRUS! Are you ok? Man what’s wrong? You normally evade anything even with your eyes close” he was panicking a bit… typical of a little brother

“Yeah… I am fine… just a… ughh… scratch” great, now I had a worried brother that would probably ask me a ton of questions… I had to land immediately or risk falling hard on the next flap.

“A scratch? Man, you are pouring blood from your wing like it’s a water fall…” although I felt a lot of pain coming from the wing my mind was blank. “Here let me fix it” I felt that odd darkness in my wing and a little sting on the wound but it was slowly being replaced by a nicer feeling

“thanks.” Was all I could say… my mind was still jumping from Celestia to the “purification”. I knew this was a long shoot of happening since she was a goddess… but even so… my mother was also a powerful being and yet……… I am just being dramatic.

I looked to my brother, it had been ages since I saw him. Still smaller than me and probably smaller than Celestia. Casa Nova or not, he had a good heart despite everything that the others could see…
Many times I saw him doing stuff that others would refuse just to get a little attention but since he had that power most were afraid of him… not being able to see behind that wall of colors

“All fixed up” I saw the darkness returning to his body surrounding him again in that mist that always seemed alive

“Thanks Eon!” I pet him on his head and walked away. Heading towards our new home. He followed me close by and we went on. I had to tell him the major events so he wouldn’t be alien to this world, leaving my little adventure aside for now.

I had a long night ahead of me, trying to explain him where I was going to be for two weeks without rising to many suspicions. The last thing I wanted was a little bro to follow me while I go out with six mares and an alicorn… I would seriously had a big explanation in front of me…

Of Brothers and Sisters

The night sky was settled peacefully, filled with stars and the occasionally cloud that the wind blew softly, overall it was just another night.

Both princesses were gazing the skies, talking about the upcoming projects for the kingdom and other political issues.

Soon enough the topic changed other “royal” business

“Luna dear... are you sure that you will be alright for the upcoming weeks?” the eldest of Alicorns asked with a voice that showed a slight hint of worry.

“Not to worry my sister. Just be sure you to enjoy your well deserved break”

“I will” Celestia’s mind went to the her recent memories with her feathered dream “I will..”

“You seem rather… different. Is something to matter?”

“N-no!” a slight blush went across the white Alicorn cheeks, trying her best not to look back to her sister

“Dear sister, are you concealing something?” the night princess asked a bit puzzled by this reaction. Never have she seen this behavior on her elder sister.

“N-no…” Celestia wasn’t really that good at hiding, and her face was already giving her up

“Celly!” Luna said half amused and half annoyed, she didn’t tolerate lies or secrets very well but with her sister was a bit different. The white Alicorn only hide a few things from her, from the secret desire for sweets and... anything that was related to romance. Books mainly.

To a certain extent their roles changed on the romantic levels, Celestia being the shy one and Luna being the more secure and more mature one

“It-its nothing” Celestia’s face grown closer to the color of a tomato, knowing full well that she had been discovered and was about to be inquired until every single piece of information dropped from her mouth. All the questions that Luna could ask would only lead to the revelation of her romance and if she pushed far enough… Celestia would have to admit thing that she wish there weren't words to express.
Slowly and quietly Luna approached her

“So…” Luna started talking with a smile implanted on her face “how was your vacation in the far winter lands?” Luna's eyes were filled with amusement, its was not every day she had the chance to question the ruler of the sun.

“… Good…” the white Alicorn tried to sound as plain as possible but her cheeks were still giving the hint.

“Just… good?” Luna asked in a playful voice

“… very…” Celestia could only whisper, the thought of those days made her cheeks more warm than she wished.

“Very what?” Luna was very close to the her, whispering softly by her ear

“…” Celetia knew full well that if she answered that question there would be no end to it. Luna’s was an expert if not the master on extracting information from anything that could pronounce a letter from the alphabet. The Lavender Alicorn knew how to make everypony eventually crack and spit every single word out... it was just a matter of time

=====================================================================================

On the other side of the world, two dragon forms crossed the skies slowly and sometimes even falling to the ground.

“Hey *hic* Eon… do a barrel roll!”

“Hmm-*hic*m…kay~” as soon as Eon started to roll to the left he forgot to flap his wings and went straight to a tree, falling to a puddle of mud

“Pfff…Bhwahaha!” Sirus couldn’t help but to laugh hard “Yoo! four wings! You need to flap *hic* like this” he pointed to his wings that suddenly had a several dark vines grabbing them “huh?!?”

“Get over here!! *hic*” Eon pulled his brother to the same puddle, making a sound splash.

“You little…” Sirus jumped toward the dark one

If one were to pass nearby they would hear sickening sounds of cracking bones from their little familiar reunion. For the two, this was like a normal wrestling brothers do when words don’t suffice. And also it was a way to let some steam off, so civility could enter once again in their brains. After a few minutes of wrestling like normal drunk dragons do, they calmed down.

“Ughhh… I am starting to feel pain…” Eon was lying on the ground near a few chopped down trees “Sirus! you still got anymore left?”

“Quit bitchin-ughh...you were the one that carried the bag”

“Yeah but its so far away from me”

“You lazy bum! its 4 feet away from you, can’t you use magic?”

“Ughh my head hurts dude…”

“You cheap grrhh” Sirus muttered some nasty word beneath his breath but used his magic to get the last two bottles of the same liquor Celestia had given to him “Here! Need anything else?” the sarcasm in his voice was clear, but this didn’t phase Eon

“Well let me think” the mist around him formed a small vine that scratched his head while he was trying to form any ideas that could irritate his brother

“You can actually think? Pff I’m impressed”

“Heey!”

“Eheheh!”

“Anyway, where are you going for two weeks?”

“What?!? Are you my mother now?”

“Bah c’mon, I am just asking.”

“Well for starters I need a vacation from you”

“HEY!!! I have been around for only a couple of hours”

“And that’s already too much!” Sirus couldn’t help but to chuckle, Eon just rolled his eyes

“Seriously, where you going bro?”

“I’m…” in this state Sirus couldn’t process much so he only the best he could “going… somewhere?!”

“Somewhere?” Eon raised his eyebrow

“Yeah… somewhere…”

“Bro… are you… into mares now?” a grin formed in the dark mist, showing only two red orbs and sharp teeth among the darkness that were now emitting from his body. Sirus knew what that meant, normally that only happened when his brother was forming an idea and THAT was bad.

“Don’t start with that conversation again” Sirus was somehow pissed, he didn’t like to be mistaken by the likes of his brother, but he was also feeling guilty because he couldn’t lie to himself anymore

“Dude we have been here for almost an eternity and you haven’t got laid a freaking single time! You really need to let out some steam, ~if you know what I mean~ ” Eon wiggled his eyes pronouncing the last sentence

“Eon for the last time I am not into… mares”

“Dude… that sounded… oh no! are you… into the dark side? You know?” Eon took a few steps back just in case the answer would be ‘weird’.

“WHAT?!? NO!!!”

“Hmm… proof it!”

“What?!? How?”

“Well how do you think Einstein?”

“You want me to…”

“Of course”

Sirus tried to put himself more comfortable on the rock that he landed after the previous wrestling, the small amount of pain was the least of his problems now, since he had to keep him away from that vacation and yet fulfill that request or else he would be tormented for the rest of the existence of time.

“Okay but in one condition!”

“....you are really going to do it?!? Sweet! What’s the condition?”

“You can’t interfere and you have to be out of sight all the time”

“What!? But how can I know that you reach that point?”

“wait… u want me to go all the way and show to you? Are you a voyeur?”

“No but I need a hint that you won’t miss the opportunity”

“Ughhh! You sure are demanding…” at this point it was better to give all what Eon asked then to step back and face the consequence AKA eternal trolling

=====================================================================================

“YOU WHAT?!?” Luna had her eyes completely wide, her mind still trying to combine all the pieces of information. She couldn’t believe her older sister had gone that far

“…” Celestia couldn’t even pronounce or mutter any words. Her face was a mixture of embarrassment and fear that Luna would react badly of her little affair. she could only wish at this moment a miracle would happen and Luna for some strange reason would handle this information well...

“B-. b-but how? I mean… he is big in size… and that only mean his… must be HUGE!” this piece of too much information pierced the white Alicorn brain like an anti-tank bullet would pierce a tomato
“…” Celestia kept looking to the fireplace, holding a red pillow on her hooves that could be mistaken by and extension of her own embarrassment
“Oh my god… how can it be…” Luna’s face was replaced by an amused one “I never knew my sister had a thing for... shall i say... grandness”
The poor sun goddess was being bombard by sudden realizations of her adventures. Somewhere along this conversation she was feeling more like a teenager being questioned than actually the ruler of Equestria. She could only wish this night would come to an end.
“Sirus… what have you done to me…” Celestia muttered, having her face buried on the pillow so her sister wouldn’t hear.

=====================================================================================

“Hmmm?” Sirus couldn’t see anything. In a quick reaction his eyes glowed and so did his body. “Wha-” His words where cut off when a body of some sort tried to pierce him. Lucky for him he acted fast and evaded the charge.

Not wasting any more time he unfolded his armor and prepared to engage into combat. “Who are you?”

It didn’t answer by words and only charged again.

This time Sirus wasn’t going to be on defensive and launched himself toward the enemy. Quickly he noticed it was a pony of some sort, but his brain didn’t have time to process while his natural instinct took over.

In one swift motion he grabbed its horn with one claw and a wing with the other, pinning down the enemy to the ground. Stretching the wing to its fullest, he kept his mind only to pull that wing till the aggressor would give up afraid to lose a member. But when his eyes focused on the aggressor he lost his grip. “Celes-”

He felt a warm liquid flowing from his belly.

Without warning and taking advantage of Sirus distraction, his aggressor toke no hesitation and pierced him for side to side.

“Wh-Why?” He started to feel weak while more of that liquid poured out of his body. He was only answered by a devilish grin from the white Alicorn. Slowly she took the horn, dripping with blood to the floor.

Taking a second to regain balance and some sense he opened his eyes. In front of him stood Celestia, the eldest of the Alicorns, ruler of Equestria. Her eyes were nowhere near friendly or sympathetic. Sirus could only see bloodlust flickering beyond those once caring purple orbs.

He couldn’t think clearly now, giving in to the natural predatory nature of his race when endangered. Launching straight at her growling loudly, he only wanted to pin her down and talk to her senses but before long everything went black again.

“Hmmm?” Confused, he looked around only to see debris floating. He felt strange… he felt oddly powerful… he also felt something wet in his hand… still warm

He looked down to see what the source of this was.

His eyes weren’t prepared for what he was about to witness. Beneath his body laid what was left of Celestia, his eyes and brain stressed to process what he was seeing.

The left side of her face was completely burned, with flesh visible in some spots. Blood stains flowed along with her uneven mane. One of her front hooves was broken in several sections. Several cuts were visible along her once beautiful white coat. Her body was completely broken in several parts with bruises and blood pouring out of her body

“Ce…” His voice was completely broken.

“Shh…” Celestia’s voice could be barely heard. “It’s… ughh… ok…” Clearly she was in pain but managed to turn her head to face Sirus. With her somewhat good hoof she reached Sirus cheek, stroking it gently “Plea-ughh!... please… don’t… worry…”

“Celly… what happen-” Once again he was cut when her hoof rested on his lips.

“Shh…” She tried her best to smile and soon failed to cough up some blood. Hurrying, Sirus tried to comfort her by holding her gently. “Th-thank you…” Her voice was starting to grow weak as she tried to breath.

Sirus couldn’t understand what was happening. Why was Celestia in this state? Why was everything around him a total wreck? Why was he feeling so powerful? Taking a glance to his claws, he noticed they were glowing.

A sudden chill came across his spine when he realized what was happening.
The overwhelming power...

The glow around him...

The destruction around him…

It was all happening again!

He could feel himself shaking with fear of his previous actions only to be brought to attention when Celestia lay a small kiss on his cheek whispering two words.

Sirus wanted to reply but he was to late. Celestia’s body lay limp in his arms.

Gasping for air, he woke up. Beads of sweat all around his face along with a pale expression were enough for him to realize this was just a bad dream. A really bad dream.

Looking around Sirus realized he was back at home.

Hidden from the world, this place was what was left of his planet. Memories keep on rushing to the white feathered Dragon.

"What was... that..." Sirus still felt his heart beat pounding inside his chest. He started to feel a certain fear that was all to familiar.

He took a few moment to regain his breath. "... fucking nightmare..." he gritted his teeth. his mind keep rushing to memories long buried on the past.

The night was almost reaching an end but for Sirus every second seemed to last an eternity. While the dream slowly faded away from his mind, his eyes where getting finally sealed allowing the blue one to drift momentarily from his worries.

"I would rather die... than to hurt her..." with those last words the Dragon finally fell asleep.

The Millennia Reunion

Outside the temple, the sun was slowing creeping in while the moon sank on the other side. One would say it was just another day like no other. Peaceful and cheerful day filled with bird welcoming anyone to the surroundings. Although Everfree forest was known as a dangerous place it was mostly to keep the curious pony out of it.
This had to be one of the reasons why Sirus felt so comfortably leaving the gateway to his home concealed by a simple cloak spell.

=====================================================================================

Waking up in panic, Sirus realised his brother would want to chase him today, following every single step he made until Eon finally got what he wanted. If Sirus just disappeared his brother would certainly come up with a lot of questions, which some shouldn’t even be asked. Not to mention that Sirus would rise a lot of suspicious that something was on… and last thing the blue dragoon wanted was a black mist getting too close to her…being the worst part his reaction if Eon did discover that she was the one… the one that imprisoned Luna for such long time… his head started to hurt with all the bad things that could happen but was brought back to reality when he heard something… it resembled the act of someone sawing a tree.

Taking a glance to the source of the noise, he noticed his brother sleeping with both his legs and arms pointing upwards, mouth fully open with some droll coming out of the corners... “just like a puppy…” Sirus knew he was in a good position to elaborate a plan. It didn’t take long before an idea formed on his fussy mind.

"Perfect" a little smile formed on his lips while he searched for the saddle with the golden cubes of sugar. Looking at those things brought a chilling effect on his back… he was going to become one of those things again… all because of her…*sigh* he couldn’t deny at this stage he was pretty much falling over her.

Sirus collected his thoughts once more and develop more his plan. Knowing his brother for almost an eternity had some advantages and this was one of them. Eon always loved a little challenge specially if there was something to prove.

Looking at that black mist that covered Eon, Sirus could only wonder how they were brothers but yet so different. “Speaking of black and white… but I guess in many ways that’s what we are… none the less we are still colours casted away from the rainbow huh?” he was trailing off to some more deep thinking when his brother threaten to wake up. “Sh…t” quickly Sirus gathered his ideas again and swallowed one of those sugar cubes.

In an instance everything around him seemed to double the size, that feeling alone was a bit creepy since he was used to everything being so small.

It didn’t take long before Eon woke up. His red eyes gazed upon the small Pegasus in front of him. It took a moment to realize that in front of him, was a creature that wasn’t supposed to be there or even around the area by a few good thousand miles. Surprised he took a leap back and still couldn’t believe his eyes. “am I dreaming?!” he thought

“How?.... What?... Who?...wait…” Eon couldn’t even decide what to ask first, not to mention that even speaking to a creature like that could spell disaster.

“Relax you idiot, do you even think remotely that a pony would be able to reach this place?” the little Pegasus spoke with an all too familiar voice

=====================================================================================
After a few moments Sirus was explaining to his brother what he did… theoretically… that he casted a spell that in some moments would teleport him to a certain mare that meet certain criteria that he defined. Once it found the right one for him it would teleport directly to her. This would cover the reason why he would disappear out of nowhere and also explain why he would be near her. For Sirus this was more than enough to clear his name of any suspicious behaviour. Also if his brother played by the rules he wouldn’t be close enough when he was being introduced to the rest of 'gang' leaving him with enough time to prepare another excuse.

A sudden chill came across Sirus, the thought of a bunch of weird females all together with him... he at least wished that a tom boyish girl existed so he could try and talk something other than ‘whatever a bunch of mares talks this days’ or in simple terms, a mare that won’t go ballistic with clothing, make up, fashion and... he started to reject such possibility.

"nah... that would be a weird bunch... a princess like her must have certain standards to address them as friends... yeah it makes perfect sense... she couldn’t possibly have-"

Again a sudden chill came across his spine. Sirus could almost tell the following two weeks were going to be a bit... difficult

But none the less this was also going to be different from usual. It’s been so long since anything really happened.

Things would either be him roaming alone, deciding what to eat and soaring in the skies as much as he desired or, whenever his brother woke up, was to be sure to keep him out of trouble until he felt bored and fell asleep for another couple of years or so.

Yup this was actually something different. Sirus was going to spend two weeks with a particular someone. His newly found sky

Not only her... but also a bunch of unknown females that gave him chills for some reason and to top it off he had his brother spying on him like a voyeur

A smile crept in his face. He had a good feeling that the following weeks were going to be much more than he could possibly think

"This is going to be something"

=====================================================================================

*POOF*

In front of Eon nothing remained but a weird mist. His brother was nowhere to be seen. It had only passed a few seconds since Sirus pronounced his last words.

“Weird… anyway, time to go hunting” the mist evolving the dark winged beast started to expand. Setting his mind with only one goal, he started to search for his brother. Thoughts and images of several places came rushing to his mind while he sensed previous places where his brother had once passed.

Mostly they were sceneries of the sky, almost outside of the atmosphere. At this point one could see the stars even if it was daytime… but that wasn’t what Eon was searching. He kept diving into other images in search for a clue when a sudden image stroke his mind that froze him.

The palace, a balcony… and her…

For some brief moments he could see her eyes gazing upon the land, her posture was so majestic even in the day light…

Abruptly he stopped the search only to back fire this little spell and provoking him a very acute pain in his head that lasted for a few short seconds.

“Lu..na..” Eon didn’t know why his brother’s magic would be so close to them… specially since Sirus made sure they were always very far from everything that was remotely of royal origin… in a sense royalty brought painful memories hence the reason of his older brother reactions.

That thought was long gone when the red eyed beast took focus on her again… “If she only knew…”

Surely Eon wasn’t the type of male that would be happy with just one female and he admitted that since he took a liking to those pony creatures. But then something changed… a very weird coincidence.

“Should I?...” all the thrill to seek his brother was almost gone and some of his sense told him it would be easier to find Sirus if he waited a couple of days. Almost like making a plausible excuse for himself, he set his mind on her again.

“I bet I can sneak in again without no one even realizing”

=====================================================================================

“Hmmm n-n--- sto…p…” noises could be heard from a certain bush that seemed to have a life of its own... “hmmm..aaahhh…”

Sirus didn’t knew what took over him, if it was the fact that the previous nightmare actually scared the hell out of him or if it was the fact that Celestia turned herself into a mini version of her former self that made her the cutest light pink unicorn he had seen in his entire existence… or probably both.

“Siru- hmm..ughh st..top… hmmm not… ugh no-t there…” or maybe it was the fact that she was fighting back which was all too new for him. Why she was fighting back he didn’t had a clue but it was surely making him burning with desire.

“Hmm.. ahhh… AAAHaahhh” her sweet voice also seemed to match her new form. Still, the vision from the lower part of her body was heaven to Sirus… and the way she was fighting back was just too much.

“P.. ughh-mmm please…stop.. s… hmm AAAGggghhh-hmmm” Sirus noticed she was overly sensitive. Did she cast something extra when she became a unicorn? No that wasn’t it, Sirus couldn’t feel even a speck of magic.

Sirus stopped his assault in her private area, his mouth completely wet… She could barely breathe and was trying hard to grab anything by her side in attempts to regain any control over her body. Her eyes were unfocused, mouth fully opened grasping for air and her mane was a complete mess.

“I can’t take it anymore” was his only thought as he crept slowly to be on top of her.

To his surprise Celestia seemed to get a quick boost to her control and jumped from his grasp

“Hmm?” Sirus got a bit confused, she was still trying to catch her breath and by the sounds escaping her mouth it wouldn’t take long before she would reach the heavens… so why did she jump?

“Celly? Is something wrong” he approached her slowly, making sure he could corner her to the tree she had her back against, placing himself right in between her rear legs. Again something surprised him. She covered her private parts.

“C-can we… do this another t-time?” her voice was a mix of ecstasy and… she seemed rather nervous, Sirus took notice that she was trembling a bit “M-my friends are coming soon…” she couldn’t avoid biting her lip. Her body expressing so hard what she wanted but yet Celestia’s early reaction of her was also so natural…

“Hmm ok… but didn’t you told me they are coming in the evening?” on his mind was also the reasons that they were nowhere to be found near a cliff next to the sea and it was noon. Unless Celestia would tell exactly where they were now it was impossible for somepony to find them……. “oh sh…” he totally forgot that his brother was on the lose tracking him… for all Sirus knew he could be already watching them “Ahaha~ look at the time… lets grab some lunch shall we?” he tried to smile as naturally as he could, forgetting the fact that his mouth was still dripping from the previous action.

For some reason both felt glad that they could forget what happened and went back to the little town near the seaside.

“Here…” Celestia used her magic to create a little white cloth and proceeded to clean his mouth earning him a certain blush. She smiled at this but also shared the same blush when their eyes meet. She didn’t realise she was leaning closer to him, closing her eyes and slowly opening her mouth. For all she could think, she didn’t know why she was feeling so…
She didn’t had the right word to describe it… it was good as it is, no words to spoil the feeling.

After the short kiss they proceed to go back to the place they were staying, a small house somewhat near the sea. Both of them just enjoyed the walk down to the town. Each one of them slowing realizing that this was the point of no return… still… there was fear lingering in their hearts.

=====================================================================================

“I wonder… if she ever dreamt… the one that stood by her for so long…” Eon was taking a good glance to the palace. Flying so high above the skies and being the same colour of the night sky had its good perks. Night was already installed and the moon was now fully visible from the horizon.

The dark dragon like creature never meet personally the creature that he felt so connected but having this one chance of seeing her so closely again was worth the risk of being exposed. If anything his brother would help him clean up any mess that might occur…

Spotting the balcony that Eon was tracking he swept the area with a bit of dark magic. The good thing about dark magic is undoubtedly very hard to sense in the night and only a very huge amount of it would raise any magic user to its presence.

“All clear” with those words he started to descend at very high speeds trying to get to the balcony as fast as he could. Being covered by his own magic gave him a stealthy approach to the palace, making almost no sound or causing any air friction.

Before he impacted the balcony he came to a sudden stop making a very soft sound when his claws made contact to the cold stony ground. Eon took a few good steps inside and wanted to gather as much detail about this place in case he had to bail out of there but something caught his attention, the door that accessed this room slowly opened.

*POOF*

“But princess…” a male’s voices echoed through the room

“Concealer I appreciate your skills on such matters, above all I am thankful for your concern about my wellbeing but you must understand.” A female voice boomed into the room.

“Please Princess Luna… reconsider this offer, the parliament would like to ease your duty and take some of the-“

“Concealer, I shall consider all that you spoke but as of this moment my answer is still no.” a silence was made for a few moments “but if it eases your mind, tomorrow I shall give you my final answer”

“Oh thank you Princess, I will take my leave. Have a good night” with those last words some presence seemed to leave the room and the sound of closing doors echoed the room.

“Ughhh…” the female voice echoed through the room once more. Eon could only guess that was the Princess. He was so glad that for some reason royalty loved high ceilings and with the odd taste on dark colour schemes of this room the night creature jumped to the ceiling and casted a quick magic to extend his mist through the ceiling making sure he could cover all of his body.

“To think… they want me to take a break as well…” she was clearly angry for some reason and Eon could also sense she was also tired.

For some moments he could only listen to her rants about her day to day duties and about whatever else she was complaining “I liked her better when she was on the moon… less noisy” he could only chuckle at that thought.

After some time the Alicorn had come to a halt, no noises were made and this was the moment Eon was waiting for… that is… if I didn’t fell asleep in the process.

Whatever made him hold on to the celling wasn’t doing a good job because it didn’t take long until he fell from the ceiling on top of the sleeping Alicorn. Lucky for both most of his weight fell on the mattress making Luna jump a few inches from the bed.

After both of them twisted around the bed trying to make sense of what happen they froze.

Eon was on top of the lavender princess, his arms were pinning her down and his lower body was connected to hers. Several seconds passed while they just stared at each other. Eon was only wishing she didn’t scream, his mind trying his best to come up with something to say that wouldn’t spell disaster. But his thoughts were cut off.

“Would you mind getting off me?” her voice was plain “You are quite heavy” at the last sentence she seemed also annoyed

“… y-yes” was the only thing Eon could mutter. As he tried to move it seemed that the bed sheets were tightly wrapped around them. He struggled a bit trying his best to break free.
“UGHH!!!!” the Alicorn let a sound come out of her mouth. She seemed in pain. This didn’t surprised him too much, the weight of a dragon like creature isn’t exactly a feather it was almost natural that she got hurt at some point.

“S-… sorry.. but…” the dark creature muttered a few words “I can’t break free unless I rip the sheets”

A few moments of silence again when Luna spoke again, very annoyed at this point “try again” she said plainly. Eon once again tried to break free but only got a few more painful sounds from the princess…

“My left rear hoof...” Luna spoke. Eon could notice beads of sweat forming on her head. She was clearly in pain but… why didn’t she scream for help… why didn’t she used magic to blast him away… and especially why was she trying to be so calm and collected around him in this situation but his thoughts were again broken by her voice “Please… be careful around there…”

“I can ease your pain if you want” it was the least he could do for her since he was the one to create this mess.

“…” Luna clearly didn’t want to answer him so she just nodded. Casting her eyes to the side she seemed to enter in another world of her own.

“This will feel a bit… odd” he could only try and guess what was she thinking but at the moment everything seemed so strange. Focusing on his task, several vines slowly crept on Luna’s left rear hoof. “You need to guide me…”

“Huh?” seemed that the night princess was taken by surprise …

“Tell me where it hurts” his voice held a certain tone of caring for her

“A bit higher…” she could feel a very odd and yet familiar feeling.

“Here?” his voice was low

“Yes…” she replied not so plainly as before.

“Why didn’t you scream?” he asked

“I don’t need to”

“Why didn’t you casted me away?”

“I don’t need to”

Silence took over the room…

“It’s been a millennia since then…” Luna’s voice broke the silence

“Huh?!?” Eon was taken by surprise.

“During that time you were the only creature that would feel as I did…”

“Huh?!?!” at this point a certain chill came across his mind. She remembered who was he? But how? He never showed around her.

“To blend with the few that would be celebrate the night… I took an alias… created an illusion of myself and roamed freely through the land searching for something to share my night”

“…” Eon was still unsure, what did she mean an alias? And a millennia ago, before that event happened he only knew somepony that actually spent the nights with him…

“I still remember… next to a lake… I did hurt my hoof…but I couldn’t use magic or else it would be to obviously… and you… you healed me…” she was trailing off

“Next to a lake? Wait…” a thought came across his mind… the only pony that spent almost ten years with him flying through the night skies…. “Stella?”

“That name brings me so much…” she paused in a certain nostalgia “I still remember… the first Pegasus to cast a spell… a Pegasus that no one knew… only Stella knew and her alone”

“But?!...”

“Do you remember when we used to gaze upon the stars and how you always told me that you rather life an eternity in the night than actually in the day”

“… yes…” At this point the dark creature could only reply as he forced himself to accept the story and see where this would lead. The dark mist that engulfed him started to die out little by little, showing a dragon like creature almost completely black in colour with the exception of a few red stripes that seemed to flow along his members and tail. His wings were now visible and were made of a strange looking dark purple crystal

“Ten years…” Luna closed her eyes and took a deep breath… “I always casted the same spell… the image that is still engraved in the books before that event… a lonely princess near a lake gazing at the skies… little they knew I was all but lonely…”

“…” he remembered her smile, and how she felt so happy around him… he also had to admit it… during those 10 years he didn’t feel like looking for some extra fun… he only wanted to be with her and gaze the stars with her… but at the same time he started to feel attached to the night princess.

Eon didn’t know why but whenever he was around Stella she always talked about the princess and something fascinated about that lonely soul. Something lured him towards her. Being close to Stella made him feel closer to Luna and in return every time he wanted to be with Stella was because he wanted to be closer to the night princess.

“But then…” she took another deep breath “when I finally opened my heart to you…”

“…” a sudden chill came across Eon’s spine… in all his existence he only broke one mare’s heart. And that was Stella’s

“I still recall the reason…” her voice was without emotion “I am in love with another one…”

“…” at this point he didn’t know if he should say anything or let her talk for a little longer

“Love… because of that... a millennia in solitude… or at least that’s what is written in the book” Luna slowly opened her eyes and gazed to the balcony “while I was there all by myself, still recovering from my wounds I cried desperately…” at this point the princess voice seemed to get a certain emotion… anger. “I shouted countless times to the void of space… trying to ask why did this happen to me? All I wanted was something to cherish even if it was for a brief moment in existence”

“… I…”

“SHUT UP!!!” anger filled her voice but also in the corner of her eyes, tears were forming. She faced Eon and kept her gaze trying to pierce his soul. The little light that filled the room was being reflected by those pearls of sadness that threaten to fall “just…sh-*sob* shut up” her face still held anger but her voice was the first thing to crack.

“Please… Jus-”

“No!!! You keep listening” she was clearly not in the mood to be taken down just yet. Not until she took everything out of her chest “I know what you did after awards…” she tried to clear the tears that formed with one of her hooves, shacking badly she managed to remove them and took another deep breath to regain some posture. Slowly she gazed back to the balcony, still beneath him, feeling his heartbeat.

“I remember… after shouting all my soul out, I fell unconsciously. At that time I only had one thing in mind, I wanted that feeling back… I wanted to be loved even it was by force!!!” that last words almost sounded like Nightmare Moon revived for a very brief moments. This didn’t affect Eon at all, that kind of darkness was what he held for so long

“And then…” Lunas voice now held a tone of longing and caring “…that feeling… that odd yet familiar magic surrounding me… caring for me… as if Eon was there… tending for me again…” a small tear escaped Luna’s eye and rolled across her cheek leaving a bright trail behind, reflected by her own moon.

“…” Eon knew at this stage that little could he do to fix this situation…

“Why… couldn’t you… just come to me?” her voice trembled “why *sob* ?” the princess now held her sobs as much as she could “I just wanted to be with YOU!!!!” she shouted loud enough to echo through the corridor from her tower. “I… I…” Luna’s voice was now replaced by sobs while she buried her face next to his shoulder crying tears that she held on for a millennia.

“I do too” Eon replied only to get more sobs from the princess. He held her in a gentle embrace doing the thing he should have done a millennia ago. Share a single moment with her.

Using a bit of magic he raised both of them in the air to unwrap from the bed sheets they got stuck. In all that commotion he didn’t realize that he could have done that from the start. Lowering their bodies to the bed, he held her close. Luna kept crying, a thousand years have passed since the last day she was near him and now having Eon holding her made overflow with emotions. The last thing she cared was if he was a Pegasus, a dragon or any other kind of creature. For the once exiled princess Eon would always be Eon.
