Dragoon Legacy

A clock rang at 7h00 AM, making a grudging alicorn open her blood shot eyes.

“Ughh… just five more minutes” she turned around her head to the other side, turning off the alarm “just… more… zzz…”

Five minutes had passed and this time 3 other clocks rang louder than the previous one making her jump from bed. “Oh for the love of-“ she got out from bed heading to the desk turning off the clocks. “This is going to be a long week” she went to the bathroom to wash herself and begin her second day in command.

“Rise your spirit Luna! Show to your sister that you too can rule Equestria by your own hooves” she though.“…” “Who am I joking? I have been exiled so long that I can hardly keep up” She sighed defeated “But for once I have to try, my sister deserve her time. It’s the least I can do after the troubles I caused” she brought her spirit back up while exiting her bedroom and heading to the balcony to perform her ritual to raise the sun.

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

The first rays of light began to make their way on the land, giving a welcoming good morning to all creatures. In a nearby location on Everfree forest, in a cottage filled with little animals, a yellow pegasus was chasing a white rabbit.

“Angel… uff… please stop” The Pegasus was panting lightly for air. “you know you need your medicine… so you won’t get sick… please Angel” She begged to her bunny

“Hya Fluttershy!!!” a blue pegasus with rainbow mane bursted into the cottage without knocking only to startle the yellow one who jumped behind a coach. “Eheh. Upss I didn’t mean to scary you.” She said with a playful grin

“hmmm… hello there… Rainbow Dash…” her voice shaking a bit after this normal outburst from her friend. Before anything else was spoken, Angel jumped fast to the door running to the forest. For him being with wild animals that could scare the mightiest ponies was a reasonable option than to drink that vile tasting black slimy medicine.

“Angel come back!” Fluttershy exited her cottage and looked to where Angel was running, following him shortly “Oh Angel please… don’t go there…” but it was too late, he already jumped to the dark forest.

“Hey what was that all about?” ask Rainbow Dash landing near the yellow pegasus.

“Oh its Angel… he always acts like this when I try to give him medicine” she grabbed a bottle from her saddle bag showing a blue bottle with a black slimy liquid inside. The blue Pegasus swallowed dry, feeling sorry for the little bunny. “And now I need to get him back before before he ventures… *gulp* further into the forest” fear was clearly in her voice

“Don’t worry Fluttershy, I will help you find him” she said trying to cheer her friend

“Hmm thanks… it’s very nice of you…”

“Ok. No time to lose! Let’s go” with that Rainbow Dash took to flight followed by Fluttershy in the same direction the bunny.

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

The rays of light began to creep on the room where Celestia was spending the night in the lodge. Snow covered the nearby mountain tops, trees and also the area near the lodge. It was a very calm morning, few sounds were made while the land slowly gained life. Someponies went around the corridors but still the serenity of the night still lingered in the air, slowly replaced by a few birds singing a welcome melody to the welcoming sun.

Celestia was still sleeping in the arms of her lover, covered by his wing until she heard a few knocks on the door.

“Room service” a light blue unicorn with silver mane entered the room bringing a small cart with several types of bread, croissants, pancakes, some oatmeal and two pots with coffee and milk. The mare moved the cart near the fireplace that was out of firewood.
Taking 3 logs of firewood that were lying at the right of the fireplace, she places them inside and with her magic she set the wood on fire. Looking around she could see the coaches and coffee table were out of their places. She shrugged and took a mental note to clean this room later while she exited the room “Whoever was here sure did have a rather agitated night” she thought since she got no reply when she entered “they must still be asleep, I better not disturb them”

The princess was still with her eyes closed, cuddling closer to him, and thanked that the mare didn’t went around looking for her. She was starting to get worried now that she thought what would she do… if she got caught with him… in her bed. But all her worries were brushed away when a still sleeping Sirus stroke her mane, very gentley and lazy.
She took a glance at his face that had his armor still “folded”, his face had traces that resembled more of a pony than a dragon in a raw definition. He held a very calm and serene expression with a very small smile. She kept looking for a few more seconds till she kissed him lightly, feeling again the warmth of his lips.

Slowly and letting out a small grunt, Sirus opened his eyes only to be meet by his lover kissing him. “Oh man! This is the best wakeup call I ever had” he thought, returning the kiss, gently brushing with his tongue on her lower lip, asking for entrance. She slowly opened her mouth and let him take over her. She let out a soft moan to his mouth, making him pull her closer and crawl to be on top.

The kiss began to go from just a lazy good morning kiss to a deep and long wet kiss. “Oh boy! This is sure the BEST wakeup call I EVER had!” Sirus thought happily, already with his hands exploring her body earning some more moan on his mouth from his loving princess… until his stomach made a loud growl, breaking the kiss and making him blush “oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..!”

“I-I guess… I am…” He began “I am… kind of hungry…” she giggled at his statement. But it wasn’t long before her stomach made a similar lower sound making her blush and in return making him chuckle

“I think we should have some breakfast…” she turned her face with a visible blush

“Aren’t we already having some…” he teased, placing some wet kisses on her neck, while she turned even redder realizing what he meant

“Not that kind of breakfast…” She pushed him slowly. She couldn’t help but to smile. He really was a breath of fresh air if not a bit too straight forward on his words. “Come, let’s go downstairs” she pecked him on the lips, signaling him to go.

He smiled and jumped downstairs making a loud *thump* when he landed. He looked upstairs to see a worried Celestia. “Eheh… force of habit” he smiled at her

“Always such a show off since day one” she smiled back at him “Could you wait a moment, I need to refresh myself a bit” before he could reply Celestia was already inside the bathroom that was just to the left of the open room.

“What was that suppose to mean?” he asked to no one. “well I guess I could wash myself too… pfff my breath stinks” walking outside, he jumped to the hot baths not thinking about the difference in temperatures but it was too late for any reaction now “Holy Fuuu~aaaAAAGHHHHH!!!”

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

“Angel” Fluttershy tried to scream the best she could, only to be slightly above her normal voice. “Please stop it” They had been searching for Angel for two hours now and finally spotted the little bunny running away from them, making his way into some strange ruined temple, engulfed by dense vegetation that was at the foot of the mountain ahead of them.

“Well this is new!” said Rainbow Dash while hovering near the entrance, tilting her head to the side, taking a good glance of what remained intact of the structure “Hey check this out!”

“I never saw anything like this…” Fluttershy was hovering near her friend. They stood there for brief moment before they scooted inside the area of the temple, pursuing the little animal.

This temple was nothing like they never seen or heard in books. It was surrounded by massive pillars of yellow opaque crystal, distributed randomly across the area, most of them were very degraded with several cracks and fissures and some were broken somewhere in the middle section. What really got their attention at first was the fact that some parts weren’t touching the ground and pieces of the crystal were floating around, almost like they broke in some point in time and froze.
The main structure was more of a huge gate, inviting one to enter the mountain. It had several pictures representing some old tales of unspoken time with writings that a normal pony wouldn’t recognize. Some looked like catastrophes, other magical rituals and two of them were very large pictures facing the gate that looked like feathered dragons.
Inside the gate one could think it was just a dark tunnel leading other side of the mountain but when the two pegasus flew inside just a few meters they crossed a magic wall that cloaked something behind. What they saw took their breaths away.

They were inside a cave, purple crystals sprouted from the walls, emitting a faint glow. Huge massive stone pillars were holding the ceiling. A stone bridge was lying in front of them, leading to a massive stoned mass that floated in the middle of the cave, almost like it was an island in a sea of faint purple. This island was made of a dark blue stone. It had several runes imprinted on the borders, glowing faint tones of green and blue. The whole cave was filled with a very dim blue light emanated from the center of the island along with a very thin fog that enveloped the cave. Although nothing seemed to move, the cave was filled with faint sounds from the crystals resonating… almost like a very slow orchestra trough the whole cave.

“Its… so…” Fluttershy couldn’t speak the words

“… beautifull…” Rainbow Dash had her mouth open to this sight

It took them a good minute to regain from this view, and they came back to themselves when they saw Angel hoping toward the island. They gave chase once again and finally caught the little animal.

“Gotcha you little prick!” Said Rainbow grabbing the bunny in her hooves

“Oh Angel!” Fluttershy tried to sound mean ”You have been a bad bunny” but as soon as she had Angel in her hands she hugged him tight, almost breaking the poor little guy ribs “Oh don’t scare me like that again Angel…”

“Sorry to interrupt your little reunion but you ought to check this out” the blue pegasus signal her friend to take a look where they were now.

As soon as she looked she noticed they were on the island. First she was just amazed by the overall vision. There seemed to be buildings on the island, most of which were ruined or destroyed. At the center was what it looked like a really large well that emanated the light that filled the cave, almost like a beam that flowed slowly upwards. Near it was a huge building that seemed partially intact with parts of it floating just like the outside pillars. It seemed like a shrine with several statues of creatures never seen by them.

“This is so awesome!!! C'mon we got to check it out Flutter” Rainbow Dash took flight toward the shrine

“Wait… I don’t think we should…” it was too late now

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

At the lodge Sirus was enjoying himself his first hot meal that he didn’t have to prepare, he looked like a little foal to Celetia when he saw the oatmeal, bragging about how he loved sauce. A smile formed on her face “How can one enjoy something so simple so very much”. He truly brought her a breath of fresh air making his remarks to simple things. How the coffee tasted to him, how he loved the soft texture of the croissants and sometimes, breaking his conversation, he made remarks of how he loved something on her that always had to be around food. If she didn’t know him better she would say he wanted to eat her... in a not very pleasant way.

The breakfast went on as Sirus always tried to steal Celestia’s food just before she could take a bite. Sometimes she would trick him and said her signature “Gotcha!” earning a little peck on the lips for being “naughty” like he said. They were just two lovers now… until the breakfast was over.

Sirus stood outside near the hot bath. He was looking to the place where yesterday they had their little romance. Many things went through his mind, too many things for his taste. Quickly he shook his head trying to get rid of his thoughts. Then he looked up trying to search for something in his mind, while gazing blankly onto the sky.

Celestia was observing him from the door. She could see that his expression wasn’t the happiest one and decided to have a little chat with him.

“Sirus?” she began

“Hmmm?” he replied not wanting to speak too much now

“Is something bothering you?”

“hmmm…” he closed his eyes for a moment, breathe in and opened them again “Maybe…” his voice was different from what Celestia was used to, almost as he went from a little infant to a fully grown adult.

“You want to talk about it?”

“I guess…” he paused “I guess you have many questions that are still unanswered” even his way of speak was different, this was starting to worry Celestia in a way she didn’t fully understand. She collected her thoughts and decided that since he was bringing this topic she could take this opportunity to gain some light upon him

“Could you…” she was getting nervous about asking this “Could you please tell me about yourself?”

“About myself you ask?” he looked to her with one eye, thinking for a brief moment. He closed his eyes and sighed “That would be a very long story my princess” somehow a little smile formed on his face

“I think I have enough time to spare” she smiled knowing full well that every creature that spoke knew that she was eternal and time wasn’t an issue. At her statement she heard him chuckle

“I think you haven’t lived long enough for my story, dear princess”

“Excuse me?” Celestia was shocked by his statement “What does he mean by that?” she was trying to find reasonable answer in her mind but her thoughts were interrupted

“I am sorry… for now let me tell you this much” he gave a pause before he continue “you are a fine ruler, bound to your duty… and if I heard correctly from passing merchants you also have a heart of gold… showing to the world that certain things aren’t as weak or useless as some think” he turned to see Celestia with a confused look
“you are indeed worthy of being a ruler of this world. Devoting yourself to guiding and protecting your ponies ahead of everything… even your own family” this last statement made Celetia froze, with wide eyes looking at him, he wasn’t talking to her like he read that from a book or heard from somepony… he was talking like he was there… at that time
“you are truly noble in a sense… indeed very noble.” He paused again thinking what to say next
“I think I have already said enough for one day… think of me as a dragon, one that does not seek for jewels nor look for dominance of territory… I am just like the wind… free and wild, bound to nothing since nothing can catch it… belonging only to sky, as it is free as the wind itself” with that Sirus unfolded his armor and wings, stretching them, revealing his full size. He was preparing to fly off when Celestia reached for him, touching lightly on his hand.

“I don’t really know what to say…” she closed her eyes “and I know I already asked you to stay with me for one night…” she looked at him into his eyes “but could I be your sky… just for this next few days?” she had a faint smile showing her little hope on him. She notice him smiling at her

“See why I said you looked so little to me?” he had a playful grin in his mouth, voice back to normal “I will think about it ok? And tonight maaaybe but just maybe I will be here for you” he wink at her, giving her a sweet loving kiss “Oh and I want that back ok?” before she could say anything he blasted to the air making the water in the bath splash and soaking her

“I swear…. Grrhhhh! Males!” her eyes were covered by her wet mane and she was slightly angry but couldn’t hold her smile

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

Just next to the bath where Celestia was, eight guard pegasus were going around enjoying their little vacation given by her princess when suddenly a blue feathered dragon blasted into the skies.

“What the hell was that?” one said, suprissed by the air blast

“Its that creature!” another stated, they looked at each other blinking twice. They went inside the lodge and, a few seconds later, they were out with their armors.

“Good thing we brought this” said one grabbing what it seemed like a metal green cylinder.

“Oh yeah! Lets lock and load” the ponies had a devilish grin on their faces

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

Sirus was already high in the sky, with a stupid grin implanted on his face. Hell who wouldn’t? After what happen last night only someone very emo wouldn’t. His toughts were quickly ended by a sudden explosion near him

“Woow” he looked back to see eight pegasus flying towards him with what it seemed one cylinder attached to the sides “what is t-“ one of the pegasus fired what it seemed a rocket to him

“Oh yeah! Taste the rainbow you fu-“ a ball of energy made contact to his face, exploding and sending the poor pegasus to the ground.

“Tsk Tsk! Didn’t your mother teach you not to play with fireworks?” teased Sirus

“Fireworks? FIREWORKS?!?” one pegasus cracked up “BOYS GIVE HIM HELL!!!” Sirus gluped, he had just played with fire and was going to get burned.

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

Celestia was inside her room drying herself. It was a cold day for sure but for somewhat reason there was warmth in that cold… a warmth that he brought. She smiled thinking of him “I wonder what he is doing right now” she probably never guessed.
