Bright Haze: The Sky Dwellers

I looked onto the glowing city of Canterlot, Nick was riding on my back still grasping that peace treaty. I was worried about this kingship thing but wasn't showing it, I was just glad to be home. The Sky Dweller army were already here and they were presumably waiting for their king, either the old guy dead in the castle or their new one who had outlawed all weapons. I smiled at that thought and together with my friends we began to march down into the encampment the Dwellers had made, they raised their weapons at first but then realized who was walking amongst them. Some booed, some cheered, others would nod or bow. I laughed at how strange the Dweller custom was but was thankful we didn't have to fight our way through. I knew by now the ponies inside the city would have heard about the Dweller king coming, and not that it was me. So it would take a lot of explaining. A Sky Dweller walked up to me and bowed.

"Excuse me, my king?" He asked I laughed in his face and nodded, allowing him to speak.

"What is that your knife? Yes, that is a, knife. What is your knife holding?" He asked, the Dwellers crowded round.

"Peace arrangements, we are no longer at war and all weaponry is banned, Princess Luna shall be running the city and the Dweller empire, whilst I, sit in retirement happy and loved." I replied, gasps ran out of the army and we trotted on, through the camp in silence. We were nearing the burned and broken gates and I could see some Equestrian guards. I pointed at a soldier.

"You, introduce me, say the following-" I told the Dweller what I wanted to say and he grunted a nod. The pony trotted ahead, I saw crossbows and spears aim at him. I sat down,my friends followed suite.

"If I were a king for a day, or even a prince." I sang, no idea where the song came from.

"Show us your king you bastards!" I heard Rainbow Dash shout, throwing a rock at the pony, who dodged.

"Our great and powerful king, lord of our city, fifty-ninth king of the Sky Dwellers, Pegasus of pure birth, won his claim of king in fair combat, one king Bright Haze requests an audience with Canterlot to hand over peace declarations to the Princesses." The Pegasus shouted, silence.

"Well, bring him in." Somepony replied, I stood up and walked forward, Spectra, Nick, Heart Breaker and Aeb followed. The crossbows instantly fell down when the guards saw me. I turned to the Dweller army before entering the city.

"Well go on, fuck off." I shouted, slowly the Dwellers began to pick up their things and disband camp to leave. I stepped over the rubble which had been moved to allow us in. Rainbow looked at me in shock. I turned my body to show her my flank, the Sword through Shield cutie mark and she knew it was us. She ran up to Spectra and kissed him, we all stood awkwardly watching as the kiss went on. Spectra finally let go and looked to me. I tossed him a small bag and he got something out. He turned around and fiddled with the item for a second before looking back at Rainbow, I gave her a wink.

"Rainbow, I have been in Cloudsdale for over two years now and have been saving up money for us, for you. I just want to ask you one thing first." He said, kneeling down. Rainbow Dash grinned and looked to me.

"His idea." I said, she smiled and looked down at the stallion.

"Go on hotshot." She said, smiling.

"Rainbow Dash, how would you feel about becoming Mrs Rainbow Speed?" Spectra asked, showing her the hoof ring with the biggest diamond I had ever seen on it.

"How could you afford this?" She muttered, then realized she hasn't answered and just put the giant arse ring on. Spectra winked at me.

"A lot of late nights and hard work." He replied, kissing Rainbow again. Truth be told, we took it from the Dweller city's jewelry shop, as I got something as well. Nick handed me the letter and I began to walk toward Celestia. Letter in mouth. Heart Breaker, Aeb and Nick followed, of Rainbow and Spectra, they were still kissing. The Princess bowed to me and for a second I wondered why.

"No need Princess, I believe this is the letter you were after, and the control over the Dweller Empire is in your hooves, I just thought it would be a good idea for Luna to be control of it. I already banned all weapons and ordered a mass mining project, all metal and income should come here." I said, giving her my letter, she held it with her hoof and nodded, Princess Luna trotted over.

"Sister, how would you like to be in control of an Empire. If you fail I am sure we can replace you. But this isn't being forced, you have a choice." Celestia asked, Luna thought then nodded.

"I shall take the Dweller kingdom, and follow its kings orders."

"I am not their king as much as Aeb is a God, I was just there in the good time and got peace for us, now if you excuse me, I have a Derpy to find." I said, bowing and leaving. Peace Haze. I thought. We finally have peace. I can be in harmony now. But why did it feel so, wrong.

Rainbow ran around in her room completely overjoyed, Spectra was eating with the others and Rainbow had decided to come to her room to freshen up. She wore her dress, the one Spectra loved and the one which she had worn to the Galla. She had makeup on and had her hair tied up in a bun. She wasn't the most girl-like mare but this was a special day, soon she would be married. She thought who would be her best Mare, and who would be Spectra's best stallion. Rainbow thought about Fluttershy, no Pinkie, no Rarity, then she had a great idea. All of her mare friends could give her away and all of Spectra's stallion friends could give him away, maybe get Celestia to marry them. Rainbow was so excited and looked at her diamond ring again, gems weren't that rare in Equestria, but this was special, given to her by her future husband. Rainbow began to cry happiness and after a moment, walked out of the room to meet the others at dinner. Apparently everypony was there, including Derpy.
