Bright Haze: The Mo'ka Choice

I walked home with Tage on my back. It was still black and this storm raged on. High winds were now blowing and nearly everypony was inside, except for a few Pegasi I saw close by. From what I could tell there were three Pegasi, maybe more I couldn't tell, and a very royal looking unicorn all gathered in a circle.

"I don't get it!" One Pegasus shouted. "The next storm is due in eight days, and not on this scale! The clouds have done this themselves!" The same one then added.

"What's going on mage? Magic isn't working anymore!" Another Pegasus shouted.

"Look. I have gained only the knowledge that Princess Celestia has given me. The rift is growing stronger once more and these rouge clouds have drifted in from the Everfree. It is just a minor storm." The unicorn replied, I walked up to him.

"What do you mean? About the rift?" I asked. The unicorn looked at me and Tage with seemly disgust.

"Just go home, you are not in the weather team so please reframe yourself from the area." The unicorn ordered. Not knowing who I was.

"What is your name mage?" I asked, making a mental note to complain about him.

"Sunny Flash. Now please leave."

"I shall be telling Celestia of your personality to Celestia herself when I next see her, and remove you from court, you speak to not only a knight, but a king. Good day." I shouted, then began to walk away. Okay, I will admit that being a knight-king does have its perks.

I still wondered what that unicorn meant by the rift getting stronger, something major was coming to pass and I saw I would have to help out. Again, Dee wouldn't be impressed, but neither will I if Celestia asks for my help. Let fate run its course, as long as Dee, Tage and my friends are safe. Lightning struck again and I made my way home.

I could see Dee at the doorway, Tage also saw and climbed off my back and ran to Dee.

"Mummy!" Tage shouted. Dee hugged Tage. "Mummy, some bad man told daddy off and he beat him up!" Tage exclaimed. Wait, what?

"Haze?" Dee asked in shock.

"Wha? No I didn't! I told him I would report him to Celestia! He. What?" Was all I seemed to be able to get out.

"Okay. Come in you too. I made tea." Dee said, inviting us both in. I hugged her and noticed how wet I was. I kissed my wife and entered the warm solid house and closed the door. Warm food was waiting for us all. I smiled at Dee.

"Thanks honey." I said.

"Dont worry about it. Its for my king." She said, winking.

"Calm down you, not here." I muttered, Tage was happily eating away and laughing at seemingly nothing. I laughed to just due to how cute the small Pegasus was. I sat down next to Dee and Tage. So I was in the middle of us all. I gulfed down the meal, not realizing how hungry I was. I dripped rain water all over the carpet floor and Dee giggled everytime a water droplet fell. I just looked at her as a large chunk of my hair fell over my face, dropping more water.

"Hehee." Dee giggled. I laughed slightly and she smiled back.

"So immature." I grunted.

"You know it's why you love me." Dee replied. I pulled her in for a kiss and did so.

"I love you because your perfect." I replied. Kissing her again. Tage jumped up and nearly dived off the seat.

"Eww! Mommy and daddy are kissing!" Tage exclaimed.

"You're be doing it one day. Not that I will let any stallions near you. They would be scared of the king and knight." I muttered in response.

"You are not a real king Haze. And don't tell her that." Dee replied.

"I might get my subjects to line the street on the morrow and sing merrily in my name." I joked, in as much of a royal accent I could get. Dee laughed and punched me softly and Tage ran off to go play with her toys. I watched her as she played and felt Dee's head on my shoulder.

"She is going to grow into a fine young mare one day Haze. Thanks to you." Dee muttered, truthfully.

"You're the mother, you helped to. And still help. Its not me who will give her 'the talk'. That's your job." I replied.

"Oi. If it were a colt then you would have to." Dee replied. I felt safe to swear as Tage was out of earshot.

"Yeah, I can only remember our balls get itchy and we 'spray tan' as many women as possible." I joked, Dee went into a fit of laughter.

"Sure, well we have to go through the monthly times and our hot moments." Dee replied.

"Yeah, mares win. Can I have a beer?" I joked. Dee smiled and stared into my eyes. I stared into hers. I remembered why I fell in love with her, and the same for her to me. I moved in for a kiss and Dee suddenly tapped my foreleg.

"Get it yourself." Dee joked and got up to play with Tage. I laughed and also joined in. We rolled about with each other, played and joked. It was fun. Maybe I was just restless, because I wouldn't trade what I had for the world, no. Two worlds.

We played until Tage got tired and myself and Dee put her to bed. The storm outside had calmed and I went outside to get some cool air. I stood alone smiling to myself looking up into the sky. I was in bliss.

"Whatcha doing cutie?" Dee asked from behind me. I turned toward her.

"Nothing just thinking." I replied.

"About what?" She asked.

"About what great a life I have now. I am just restless Dee, it'll pass." I muttered, Dee nodded, she acted like she understood, when I knew she didn't. I looked to the sky smiling, but then. I lost my grin and happiness. For where blank space should be, was a rip in the universe. And on the other side, another planet. The rift had fully opened once more. I naturally swore.
