Shadow Mark

“You will never speak of this again.” Shadow said still in mare form at both Luna and Cerebrum. They nodded laughing.

“Cerebrum I will KILL you for what went on.” Shadow said to him

“Ok I’ll turn you back now Shadow. Stay still or some part of you may be left out of the spell and this will become permanent.” Luna lowered her horn and turned him back into a stallion.

“Ahh good to be back.” He said throwing punches to test his strength. Then Luna answered the question that was only beginning to form in Shadows head.

“I healed you as well so go ahead and chase Cerebrum he ran that way when you weren’t looking.” Luna said nodding with her head to one corridor.

“Thanks.” He said then activated the shadow and the black tendrils surrounded him. He got an evil smirk on his face and leapt forward flying leaving a black trail behind him.

Cerebrums Point of View

“I putant i perdidit.” (I think I lost him.) Cerebrum said to himself he turned around to see if anypony was following him.

“NON!!” (NO) Cerebrum said sprinting away there was a black blob moving towards him. Fast. It had a trail behind it. “OH SH—“he said in English forgetting his formalities.

Shadows point of view

Shadow felt great, air through his mane and feathers. Although he also had the need for blood. Not killing just blood. Well that will be satisfied once I find Cerebrum. Oh look there he is.

Shadow trailed behind Cerebrum gaining speed very quickly. “COME HERE!” He shouted to him. Ergh must…kill…no…just…blood.

“NON!” Cerebrum shouted back trying to increase his trot.

Shadow caught him and grabbed his neck then flew into one of the pillars holding the roof up. He flew through it breaking the hard marble.

“Est quod omnes obtinuit?” (Is that all you got) Cerebrum asked taunting

“You want to see the max of my power?!” Shouting to get over the noise of the wind. He was continuing to fly upwards. And then came to a stop waiting for reply.

“Metuo ne etiam me ad pugnam puellula.” (Well I am not afraid to see a little girl fight me!) He said with a smirk as if it would help.

“THAT’S IT!” Shadow dive bombed down into the courtyard garden maze. The ground approached quicker and quicker.

“O stercore o stercore non occidere me!” (Oh shit oh shit don't kill me!) Now fear was in his eyes then they went blank into a cold calculating expression working out how much force he would hit the ground with.

“I wasn’t planning to!” Shadow shouted and Cerebrum opened his wings assuming Shadow would still kill him. But at the speed they were going the wind force broke his wings. They went completely limp dangling above his friend.

In the next ten seconds they hit the ground and the force of it resonated through the ground Shadow had let go of Cerebrum once they actually impacted. It made a crater of large size

But after the body impacted it instantly broke every bone in his body and ruptured a kidney. Also Cerebrum bounced a good ten feet in the air. Then came crashing down with an unconscious Cerebrum.

Although Shadow lost the shadow in his anger and the force broke enough bones to render him paralyzed. “HELP!” he cried out feebly. Then he saw guard ponies up on the ramparts look down on them in fear and ran to the hospital.

“Ok I should be safe now.” Then he realized he was bleeding. How am I bleeding? And so much. Then he noticed two things one Cerebrum was holding a knife with him during the decent and now it was in Shadows chest. And two the knifes under his wings had cut him to.

“No this can’t be good…LUNA!” the effort even more feeble he was loosening gallons of blood. He tried with all his might to grab at the void. It worked but only enough to hold him an inch within life. Everything faded to black.

He was still aware of his surroundings in this state but could not move, blink, speak, or even breathe. He was dead, in a state that was unnatural. Because his eyes were open when he went into the shadow he saw when the guards picked up his and Cerebrums body. Strewn over the back of the guard.

He heard the gasps of high ranking ambassadors or maids as they hurried by. Images only flashed before him. As if he were only watching what he saw. It went by in slow motion. He noticed one thing though Cerebrum was still breathing. Well that is good.

As they passed it faded from one black scene to another. He was in the hospital bed. He heard the meter for his heart. Then it flat lined. He then heard the sobs and sobs of everyone he knew.

Then a sheet was put over his face and the doctors rolled him away. I do not even have the strength to get into my body to deactivate the shadow so I can die in honor. I will be in a morgue forever.

Then he was on a morgue bed cold and hard but he did not know that he could not feel he was only aware. Then he heard familiar voice accompanied by crying. “You loved him did you not?” that is Celestia whose she with.

“Tia how did you know.” WAIT THAT IS LUNA WHY IN THE…I will just listen.

“I saw it in your eyes; you want to break the oath to bring him back to life. You know we cannot use our magic to do that. It is unnatural. I’ll have to banish you if you do so.” Celestia said sadly

“THEN BANISH HIM WITH ME! I LOVE HIM TIA!” She broke down weeping repeating to say. “I love him.” NO DO NOT DO IT LUNA IT IS NOT WORTH IT!

“Then do it sister.” Celestia said sadly.

Shadow felt the magic go through him healing his wounds. I will kill you Celestia if you banish her….I will kill myself.

He could move again. He deactivated the shadow and got up as if electrity shot through him. Jumped towards Celestia with a lunge and grabbed her by the throat and looked up into her eyes. “You shall not banish Luna. I DO NOT CARE WHAT SHE DID! You are not going to banish Luna because she healed me. NOT resurrected me I was alive because of the shadow. Faint enough so not noticed but still very much alive.”

“So you heard what I said?” Luna asked timidly

“Yes Luna I heard. But now is not the time for pleasantries. Where is Cerebrum I fear I may have killed him.” Shadow said letting go of Celestia

“Well I will not banish you Luna seeing as he knows what we said. What he says must be true. Your friend Cerebrum is not dead he is injured and thinks he killed you. I heard rumors that he’s going to try to kill himself.” Celestia said

“I will see you both later but for now I must go.” Shadow said already bolting

“WAIT SHADOW! The healing I gave you was only enough to bring you to life meaning you’ll need to be in the hospital within the next six hours before the actual healing wears off.” Luna said

Nodding Shadow galloped to where he knew Cerebrum would be. He always said there was a story behind the place, but never said what it was. He traveled to the nearest balcony and flew upwards to it. It was the top of the mountain where Canterlot was. There was a shrine up there and Cerebrum knew about it but would not tell them.

He was correct Cerebrum was there siting before the shrine saying something in Latin but Shadow was too far away. He was able to work out the words “pay the price with death”

He shouted out to him “CEREBRUM STOP IT’S SHADOW!”

Cerebrum spoke in English now for some unknown reason. “Shadow I killed you I broke the oath.”

“No forget about it I’m alive and well, well for six hours at least.”

“Your weak Shadow, learn to uphold your promises.” Cerebrum said flinging himself off.

“CEREBRUM!” He called on the void and lunged off. Gaining speed he grabbed Cerebrum just before he hit a spike. “Don’t do it.” Shadow said.

Shadow flew back to the hospital with Cerebrum and the white alicorn went in to stay for a while. Then Shadow looked at the time hmm only ten minutes till the spell runs out. I wonder how it will feel. It will all be answered soon.

Then going up to the nearest nurse he said “I need a room im severely injured. Don’t ask questions just do.” The nurse nodded and showed him an empty room.

Just before stepping into the bed he felt a crunching inside and outside every bone in his body. Then the wounds reopened and he lay there paralyzed. “Can you help me into bed?”

The nurse lifted him into bed and called the doctor. The doctor took to steps in walked out and called the surgeon and told the nurse to get the knock out fumes. “No need.” Shadow said and then passed out.

When he woke up there were five faces staring at him. Luna, Crafter, Swift, Straight, and Red Talon. “Cerebrum is bed ridden also he’s a bit mad at you.” Straight said

“Well he should be. I nearly killed him.” Shadow said with difficultly because of the full body cast.

“That’s not it Shadow, when you dropped his body in the decent you pushed off the ground once he hit. Though what you pushed off was….” Luna began before blushing and stopping

“His testicles Shadow you completely crushed his testicles. Although somehow he is not sterile. But he has a slightly higher pitched voice.” Red Talon said. Just like Red Talon to be blunt about it.

Swift then said “Hey any of you guys want ale or anything?”  Also like him ahhh me and him love to drink.

“I’ll need much more than just a little to forget the events of today.” Shadow said thinking Luna had told them.

“What happened?” Straight asked.

“First Luna leave the room I don’t think you want to hear this.” Shadow said and Luna left the room. “Well right after you guys got beat up…”

After the story was told in a very descriptive fashion.

Swift and Straight were throwing up, Crafter was just looking at Shadow in horror, and then Red Talon asked “How did it feel?” Just like you Red never affected by anything so you jump to the questions. How did it feel besides weird, disturbing, and creepy?

“It sounds gay to say it but, mildly ok. NEVER DOING IT AGAIN THOUGH.” Shadow said almost shocked at himself.

“Laddie that was…sick. That was a terrible mental image you gave all of us.” Crafter said speaking as if he were the adult and the rest were children. Maybe the most mature not the oldest though.

“That’s why Cerebrum is going to have trouble pissing for the next few months.” Shadow said with a chuckle

Then to his surprise Cerebrum trotted in and said. “Utinam non illud malum. Qua nolo malum de paucis mensibus habebis negotium in perpetuum.” (Oh it wasn't that bad. By the way I won't have trouble for only a few months I’ll have trouble for about, forever.)

“Do you know how drunk I’m going to have to get before I forget that? A lot.” Shadow said in as a matter of fact tone.

“Scitis dilexisti eam.” (You know you loved it.) Cerebrum said

Ignoring the comment Shadow then said to Swift. “Get me the strongest liquor they have in the bar. And I know they’ll serve it in a shot glass so order a bottle of it. Say it is for all your friends. Don’t drink out of it.”

“I like your style of liquor my friend. But for me I drink Vodka the drink for real men.” Swift said.

“No the drink for men is ale, the foam on your lips and the sweetness of her bite in the morning.” Crafter said.

“Vinum enim me placet.” (Some wine for me please.) Cerebrum said imagining the taste of the wine on his lips.

“Well I would like a whisky I’m not sure I’m up to it after that story but I’ll still try.” Straight said finally recovering himself

“How about you Red?” Swift asked

“Do you know of the brand of mild brandy they brew in Stalliongrad? That beer brings memory’s perhaps I will tell them to you one day. Perhaps not.” Red Talon said

“Ok I’ll be back soon. I’ll tell Luna to come in when I go out.” Swift said trotting slowly.

Luna walked in and said to Shadow. “You know you’re still not supposed to be drunk on the job.” Sitting on the bed next to him.

“I’m on leave now you still have to pay me cause this is indirectly your fault. And you are not getting paid this week.” Shadow pointed at Cerebrum

“Erat tanti.” (it was worth it) Cerebrum said.

“By the way Shadow if he you know with you as a mare. What happened to his…stuff? Like is it going to change you back or what?” Red Talon asked.

“Luna?” Shadow asked slightly worried.

“I don’t know I could ask Celestia. I apologize for what happened.”

“I’m going to kill both of you if I get pregnant or some odd shit like that.” Shadow said angrily

“Well I’m getting tired. It’s getting late but I need my guard so I’ll stay with Shadow until he sleeps.” Luna said with a yawn and lye next to Shadow on the bed.

“BACK!” Swift said holding the drinks with his magic. then tossing three medium sized bottles to Shadow. “They are pretty small so I got three. Maybe give one to Luna.”

Popping the cap Shadow grabbed a shot glass for Luna and poured her a shot, and then he drank the rest of the bottle and threw it against a wall. “Sorry Luna I will try to calm down.” Shadow said when she gave him a look. She drank the liquor and tried to keep it down but couldn’t she threw up.

“That was terrible.” She said.

“Ahh Stalliongrad my hometown, worked at the brewery till the war, joined the war got shot, and then I came here and now serve as a guard.” Red Talon said

“The last war with Stalliongrad was over two hundred years ago.” Luna and Cerebrum said.

“So?” Red Talon said.

After all but Luna was drunk out of their minds the doctor had to come in and show them out. All but the princess, for her she set up the guest bed next to Shadow. Then when the guard entered and said he would be outside Luna pulled both beds together.

“Goodnight Shadow.” Luna said kissing him on the cheek

(in any dot dot dot with more than 3 dots in the story remember to think of each dot as a second.)

Warning drunk perverted comments following this note nothing cloppy more like just slightly perverted it will probably just put bad mental images like earlier but that’s all I’ll say but if you don’t like it skip to the next note

“Your pretty ya know.” Shadow said partly sober and mostly drunk.

Remember Luna he is drunk no matter what he says it does not matter. She thought to herself “How so?”

“Well your flank ish really nice and….. shtuff.”

Luna blushed “Umm thank you Shadow but that’s not really appropriate.”

Shadow then said “My dick hurts. Can you sit on it?”

Once again blushing Luna said “No Shadow that’s a problem i won’t fix.”

“Then how come you’re so wet.  Itsh shoaking mah bandages.” Shadow said

Shifting uncomfortably Luna noticed that there was beer spilt in that area. That makes more sense. “Shadow that’s not what you think that’s beer.”

“No itsh not I’m serious. Please Luna.” Shadow said almost half asleep

“You’re in a full body cast I couldn’t if I wanted to and I most certainly do not.” Luna said beginning to move her bed away from Shadows with magic

“Fine I’ll just…I don’t know but I’ll do something. Preferably you.” Shadow said slightly lustful

Silence spell, sleeping spell yes I sleeping spell. Luna cast the spell on Shadow heard him talking in his sleep. Quite disturbing things…That is disgusting…how could he know that…oh yeah Cerebrum…I wish I had not been listening in on the story. Gosh I feel sorry for Shadow. He will have to live with it.

“Luna….sex….*moans* good sex….mmm Luna.” Shadow said in his sleep Ok a silence spell to.

Stuff ends here so go ahead and continue reading.

“What happened last night? OH NO GONNA THROW UP!” Shadow did just that except he could barely turn his head so he threw up on himself.

Luna groaned waking up. “Shadow…what happened to you?”

“Hangovers and casts don’t go well toghter. Ooo I should not have drunk all three bottles. That was at least 70% alcohol. Ergh…” Shadow groaned

“I’ll go get the doctor to change the cast. Or clean it.” Luna said

“Nah its fine I’ll just use magic.” And that he did “Luna what did I say or do last night. Cause I’m worried about it.”

“You said a few…things and I cast a spell on you to go to sleep. Then you were dreaming and talking in your sleep. Apparently about me and you mating.” She said raising an eyebrow.

“I got to stop drinking.” Shadow groaned.

“I have to go to a council with my sister and advisors. Very boring, you’re lucky you’re here.” Luna said

“Can you get the doctor first?” Shadow said

“Sure I don’t have to go for another hour or so.” Luna trotted out and got the doctor. And trotted back through the white halls.

“Doctor I was wondering can I get out of the bed and into a wheelchair at least?” The black alicorn asked hopefully.

The mare doctor nodded and bucked a wheelchair over to the side of his bed and walked out.

“Great.” Shadow said unhooking himself from the wires holding his limbs up, which were only in gauze not casted. “Now let’s go to the council.”

Woot longest chapter! :D
