-6- New Found Situations

“Hello…Princess Celestia” I spoke out to the white Alicorn princess in the most suave, kindest, gentle and very implying voice I can ever muster in my whole life. I can see the results having positive effects over my small greeting as I smile further. Then again, I may have been kidding myself but the sight was more funny than embarrassing with the stunned look on Celestia’s face. I started to chuckle but Princess Luna beat me to it, coughing a bit to snap not just Celestia but me as well from the growing atmosphere I may have accidentally created.

Quickly, Celestia began, shaking her head a bit. “If they stay as themselves and not mix their military work with their stay in our world… then I shall consider it.” She said with a smile and a warm face. I wanted to say more but I did not, her wings were still spread open.

When that came about, Creator, just behind me, claps his armored hand and sighs in relief. “I thank you Princess Celestia. I know it is asking too much of you and your sister about this, but it is for your safety and your other selves.” Creator said in haste, nearly making his voice a pitch higher with the velocity of his words. He was trying to avoid the upcoming question.

“What do you mean other-” Celestia and Luna spoke in unison, taking their interest over the matter but quickly Creator interrupts them.

“Well, time to WAKE UP!!!” He said in a nearly bellowing, loud popping noise that quickly made me open my eyes, my REAL eyes. This time, I found myself back in the skin suit, the protection suit, still giving me a slight yellow hue of sight. In front of me was the usual dungeon, the metallic bars there, me and my brother, who also just woken up and looking around. But quickly as I return my gaze did I find no other pony in the place, prompting me to wonder… What happened?

“Brother, I know it is of my understanding that they… followed us? But where are they?” Nightfall spoke out, his voice returning to his mechanical but young tone.

I sigh out, not really knowing the answer to that. I would be saying that but then the evident sounds of hooves clopping against the stone floor, just like before we slept. I look over, expecting something else but in the end we only saw Princess Celestia and Luna occupy the outside, behind them both was my armor, still broken, damaged and my weapon with a massive hole on the center of it.

Somehow, Celestia gave a warm smile as I look up to her, the yellow hue of my sights not breaking the image of her sweet body… But I can sense her slight worry, which I cannot detect which and what she was worried about. I look at Luna, this time, showing doubt and really caution and suspicion at me and my brother, who I was sure look like the only odd one among us.

“Knight Daybreak…” Celestia started as she used her magic to open the cell doors, with a slight creak from the rust on the wedges. “I hope that you no longer keep secrets from me and my sister.” She said, more sincere and worried than I recall but her smile still was evident, warmly at me.

“True, I wish to ask all we can from both or either of you” Luna said in a more uptight or more regal and respectable tone, one sight of her glare of caution and doubt and I can tell she was not finding this whole situation adequate. I cannot really blame her as she is now forced to have me and my brother here.

“Well then, as agreed upon both I and my brother will remove ourselves from our armors.” I said as I rose to my feet. I willed once again my skin protection to meld into my helm. I felt the crisp air passing through my coat, chilling me for a moment and when all of it has entered my helm, I used a pinch of my magic and lifted the helm off my face. I smile towards both princesses as I look to them with a warm smile, almost mirroring the Princess of the Sun. “I hope I can be of use to you two once more.” I said to them, bowing to them both.

“You have been my trusted guard since, not even wavering when you have done your duty with purpose. I see no reason to doubt your words now.” Celestia spoke out in her agreement, though I can tell she was hiding something, a hint of sorts in the way she said it.

“Sister, thou cannot possibly be thinking of REALLY believing thy thing’s promise?” Luna this time sounded more annoyed than impressed about us being alicorns. I can also feel her slight sadness in the way she spoke it out and I quickly bowed to her, once again.

“I am sorry princess Luna, really I am. I know we have known to trust one another, before my memories returned and now that it had, though hiding it, I will apologize in any way you deem appropriate as my punishment.” I spoke as best I can to try and reason with her, clearly she was not pleased and was distraught about me not informing them of my memory and the fact my brother came about instantaneously. I hear her sigh while I kept my gaze lowered, not looking her eye to eye just yet.

“Sister, I know it is hard, but you must forgive him, why, without his presence and his brother, there might not be you left after the incident just nights ago.” Celestia spoke more concerned for both of us, which made Luna sigh. I rose up expecting this situation closed but the rage that rose up from Luna’s voice beg to differ.

“SISTER! We cannot know if it was they who conjured her! For all we know, they are the enemy!” Luna shouted some in her anger as her eyes start to water. “WE… I was so close to losing my life to a monster that looked like you. It reminded me of what I could have done to you… and… and…” Luna trailed off, this time her eyes starting to water now the emotional backlash of the event now sinking in and now I understood why she did not want to stop her anger. It reminded her on what she was capable of, if she succeeded in winning against her sister those thousand years ago.

“It is okay now sister, I have forgiven you already, and I see no reason to doubt that you have changed for the better. You have proved that there is always a chance to change for the better with forgiveness and trust.” Celestia spoke out, quickly hugging her sister and calming her down, as Luna cried to her neck, sobbing a bit, crying her tears out.

I glance to my brother, a warm smile on my face as I look at him. He was still seated down, observing the scene before him, as usual, he was the better listener between us and he was always calm and observant, the best qualities he has that I admit, was good for him. I return my gaze did Celestia continue to calm and ease her sister of the pain.

“But now, I ask of you, won’t you give these two a chance, just the same as I have given to you?” Celestia asked, moving her head back to look down at her sister. Luna looked up, tears still at her eyes but with a small nod and wiping her tears away she returns to standing on her own, and with an audible sigh composes herself.

“I shall try, but I want the truth first. Daybreak and…” She Luna started though pausing to see my brother, who all this time was silent and observing the situation was staring evidently at Luna with a gentle gaze. Quickly as that occurred, did Nightfall understood the situation.

“A yes, I shall remove myself from my armor.” He said suddenly as he rose to his feet and quickly his chest parted into four pieces, and made a hole out of his armor’s chest piece presenting the two sisters a glimpse of what is inside the armor… an endless chasm of nothingness. Quickly as they look and gaze with disbelief a trotting sound came from inside, this time, slowly becoming audible and closer as if it took some time to travel out of the armor. Then my brother came out of his bipedal armor. His black coat was very evident and so was his straight, slightly shimmering silver mane that was nearly cascading over his form. He smiles some at the Princesses and soon enough he stayed silent.

“Now then, Daybreak, Nightfall…” Princess Celestia started this time donning a serious tone. I gulp instinctively. “Tell us the whole truth… and please, do not lie why you two are in our world.” Celestia asked and soon, I explained everything to them… from why I entered their world and our mission, leaving a few details off.

Multiple disturbances were happening around the multi-verse of this series, which is obviously from theirs. I told them the truth that we were not just a multi-verse peacekeeping force we are also an army ready to conduct war when needed. Returning to the disturbances, it occurred to us that it is inter-dimensional travel, meaning, a being from one of the many vast reaches of worlds that are similar to this one have broken free of their boundary world.

True, some other worlds have done inter-dimensional travel, but that is within the boundary of their world, meaning, there are many worlds out there, that are aware of other worlds, and one universe may have multiple universes within their boundary, the reason that they are not a threat to themselves and the rest of the universe nor a problem is because they stayed in the boundary, for if anything would have broken their boundary, the world will soon start to collapse, since the lack of one can really break it unless that being removes itself by removing its existence first properly.

That’s the unfortunate part, the culprit for this dimension hopping is causing harm to multiple worlds, similar to this and that but we can never catch it since with each disturbance, a tear, or even a rift, is not the culprit that enters or exit but a misplaced being that does not belong there. So it was decided by Creator that we, a set number of our kind are stationed in all the worlds and ensuring each being will return home safely and without knowledge of the events and to capture the being when possible.

I end my explanation there, hoping it will convince them. At first it was Luna who was at a loss, really her near annoyed look about universes, multiple universes, dimension, inter dimensional travel and a whole slew of words that pertain to what I am saying may have misdirected what I wanted to convey.

“So… something is world hopping?” Luna tried to piece it together, in a more normal and common context. “That is slowly tearing everything apart because it’s wrong and not in its home?” She added looking at me once more as if we were an example. I caught that and quickly rectified it.

“Princess I know it seems like me, my brother and our kind are doing that same thing but there is one ultimate difference which you can reference it from our Creator’s explanation before.” I started, making the two sisters think but a gap of silence renders me to sigh out that a crucial detail was ignored for a moment. “Princess Luna, you have seen my dreams, and you know where I and my brother were before we joined the army…” With a heavy sigh I answered them, though a bit reluctant. “The reason this world is not ripping apart with our presence is because we never existed in the first place, no world will accept us.” I said finally snapping the both of them back to reality.

Of course there was another moment of silence as I glance between the two. Then as if for a moment of understanding Luna bowed her head. “You entered his dream before?” Celestia started which quickly made Luna respond.

“Before he left for his trip, we entered his dream to see why thy knight was troubled and what we saw were… gruesome scenes of him, his brother and their fellows in a genocidal conflict.” She started but the mention of genocidal made Celestia look at me, with concern.

“But he stands before us… How can there be genocide?” She question any one of us.

“Sister, they cannot die…” Luna started, making Celestia glance at me surprised with that small revelation. “From what we can understand from his dream, he, his brother and all their kind were not accepted in life and in death, no matter if they were harmed beyond recovery, they will stand once more and their injuries gone like there was never such a thing.” Luna explained this time hitting home to Celestia looks a bit distrusting at me now.

“But then… he’s…” She started but quickly I intervened.

“No Princess I am no zombie. I am… unreal yet alive now. Yes we cannot die because death does not accept our soul, but with Creator’s small bypass to the laws of life, he, my brothers and fellows were given a chance to live… for a nearly immortal life.” I said and nearly was not used loosely.

That small detail took the attention of both alicorn princesses. “What do you mean a ‘nearly’ immortal life?” Celestia asked.

“Though we are basically immortal, Creator’s bypass was never perfect. The world we came from knows we have escaped and a part of it lurks within the shadows, trying to engulf us back to that world, the world we who cannot exist dwell. We call them the remnants, and we fight them to just grasp our small chance of life.” I spoke out as if trying to sound justified and right but I quickly submitted that that would be less than acceptable.

It took some time to sink in, the silence nearly defining when suddenly sparks and sizzles broke the silence. I heard it just behind me, looking back, I found my armor, being magically stand, returning to its complete and more mechanical state, away from the hollow armor it was moments ago and the broken arm being repaired slowly back into place, wires and metal being forged back together seamlessly. I glance over to my brother who was standing beside my armor, fixing it and finally took notice as he glances at us with his eyes.

“You three were taking too long.” He answered nearly bored but quickly finished repairing my armor.

“Why is your armor now filled?!” Luna quickly questioned as she magically grasp the armor in her blue shimmering magical aura. Quickly my armor was tossed towards her and stopped in midair for her to examine it. “A moment ago it was empty, hollow as any armor should be. Why is it like this now?!” She quickly tried to find the answers, looking like some curious researcher now, making Celestia giggle a bit at her.

“Luna, you know you can get your answers if you do agree to have Nightfall here as your own personal guard and knight.” Celestia informed her, trying to smooth things along. I smile at her way, seeing how well she has taken the opportunity for a change and quickly Luna looked at Nightfall, back at me and finally at her sister with a near annoyed look but sighs nonetheless.

“Fine, dear sister, we shall accept Nightfall as our knight…” She spoke out as regal as she can be but yawns so suddenly. She glances about, looking at us worried that was improper but Celestia reassured her.

“Get your rest sister, you have stayed awake for far too long.” Celestia said as she nuzzles her sister the atmosphere becoming lighter than the near interrogating sense I had a moment ago.

Luna nods her way to her sister and glances at Nightfall who smiles warmly at her. She took one gesture of ‘follow me’ and my brother follows, his armor follows as well, leaving mechanical whizz and clangs again, surprising the sisters. “How thus thou do that?” She quickly asked as they left the dungeon with their clops against the stone, which left me and Celestia.

“Are you angry at me?” I quickly asked with worry as my armor came to life as well, and standing beside me acting out what I would be doing if I were still in my armor, tilting my head to the side, which my own real body did as well.

Celestia looks at me, with a warm smile on her face and a very assuring thing to see on her now. “Not in the slightest. It has become quite interesting to see these things happen…” She started as she as well gestured the ‘follow me’. I bow to her some, my armor doing the same as I followed her. “A good change of pace if I do say so.” She announced cheerfully which also caught me off guard.

“I’m surprised princess, I thought for sure you would have well… suggested something else from the dream phase we had.” I gestured to her, hinting heavily on the wing boner she had.

Quickly as I said that I can see her blush, right against her snowy white cheeks. “I do not do such… absurd things my knight…” She defensively spoke out but I continue to smile wide to her as I trotted along beside her, again, eye contact and she blushes my way.

“Oh, so the princess of the sun does not admit I am a dashing young alicorn male who is capable, unique and a sight to behold?” I said with boast and with such joy that made Celestia just sigh out.

“Daybreak, I shall admit you are capable and unique, but you are not in any way, a sight to behold.” She said with defiance in her tone but there was a hint of play and I quickly countered her as we went up the stone steps and slowly find ourselves back into the castle proper.

“Well I can clearly speak out that you are a sight to behold. You are the princess of Equestria, the one capable to control the sun and beauty that can rival a diamond.” I spoke to her when there was no other pony around just yet, which I was thankful for trying to get to her.

“Knight Daybreak, if I did not know any better, you were trying to courting and attracting me?“ She said trying to sound innocent but I can tell from her tone, she was completely enjoying this.

I lean towards her a little and whisper, “I will admit, you have a very fine figure and the most beautiful mare I have ever seen, these thoughts never left my mind even before I had my memories return.” I quickly lean away smiling as I saw her near surprised expression and very red blush. She was about to respond to my open confession when we arrived to the common areas where a few guards were now present and a few castle hooves were in wait.

Our little bout of words were halted as Celestia returned her regal image and her posture back, while I do so follow her humbly, the both of me did. At first the Guards and the castle hooves bow but they instantly looked puzzled, looking at me since I was another alicorn, one not introduced to society I suppose though that is not entirely true, since I have arrived and so did my brother in both of our forms being present.

We made our way to the throne room, the day just being shy of noon was still within Celestia’s realm of rule and such, all of the ponies were active and well doing their job. Once we entered the throne room, a part of me quickly moved to the area I am most associated upon, my armor quickly standing on the spot while followed Celestia and stood in down, facing up to her while she sat on her throne.

With that somehow the atmosphere became calm but was quickly shattered to tense when Lieutenant Shining Armor came inside. He trotted his way until he notices me but quickly reports to Celestia, glancing at my armor even.

“Princess, what has happened? Why are you allowing Daybreak… or is that Daybreak?” He said somewhat confused but still demanding. With a raised hoof, Shining Armor was silent and quickly Celestia spoke out.

“What is the problem Captain?” She asked but one small detail made me nearly jump. Shining Armor was Captain?! But he was only a lieutenant when I left on my trip. How did that happen? Or is this one of the distortions? These questions swirled within my mind as I look beside me to him.

“Princess, many of the guards said they saw Daybreak out and being escorted by Princess Luna. What’s worse is that appearance of another, but now two Alicorns and Two Daybreaks are making many of us confused…” He said with his authority tone and well… a very threatening look at me, which ever that is.

I glance towards him and can only smile at him a bit while my armor move to wave at said alicorn. Celestia soon responded, “Calm yourself Captain, there is always an explanation for everything. Right now, you are looking at Knight Daybreak.” She said gesturing to my armor. “The other armor, identical to this one happens to be his brother, the details I shall pass on to your in a later date Captain. As for the two alicorns, the one Luna escorted to her chambers and this stallion with me is a very special and delicate case of information that I wish to discuss privately with you and only you.”

As soon as that small gesture was made, the guards by the door quickly left with a bow and off to leave me, Celestia and Shining Armor. In the throne room we explained Shining Armor all the details, from me, my memories to the near world changing, world shattering truth that took us long hours there, the sun passing by quickly, which caused Shining Armor to respond the only way a mortal can.

“Okay, okay, I’m confused.” He started, making me chuckle some. “So Daybreak, has all his memories back, he’s actually an inter-dimensional soldier, WAY older than you or any of the worlds, including ours, there is a situation concerning multiple worlds and our own is in peril?” He said, again cramming all the information. “And you mean to tell me, THIS alicorn standing right beside me is Daybreak, and also the golden armor there, standing like I have known him for so long is that one and the same pony?” He said with a very unbelievable tone, really, even his head scratching was giving his mane a complete messed make-over. All the while Celestia kept a calm demeanor, though as I remember her so, she herself is finding it hard to believe when in fact, she herself was present through it all.

“Yes, my Captain, This alicorn here before you and the armor you have seen is the one and the same, it would seem their own technology far surpasses our own…” She spoke calmly, which worked wonders to soothe many, if not thousands, of ponies through the decade I have known her.

Shining Armor on the other hoof just sighs in defeat, which I noted as he was clearly still confused but his renewal of posture and his own mane, with his own near pink aura of magic fixed his mane in such fashion noted he has taken the information regardless of how absurd or crazy it may seem. “I will accept the facts, though I might be confused about it.” He spoke in defeat as he sighs one last time, before returning to posture and his own stoic look.

“I thank you my Captain, now please, return to your post so that I may ask more from our dear friend.” She said calmly and again, as regal as she can. Shining Armor saluted at her and trotted off through the double doors. Once they closed shut did we, Celestia and I, alone once more in her throne room. When that happened, Celestia gave one heave if not a near bellow of a sigh. “Daybreak, As much as I appreciate you being my personal guard, it will be… a task to inform my ponies of having two new alicorns in this society.” She spoke to me with a bit of distress and near worry.

“Calm down Princess, I’m sure there is a solution for everything, in a way, to keep the populace from ever shouting or gasping through the impossible.” I said as I try to sound confident. Again she gave off a sigh which worried me now as a though passes through me, asking me the question I dread not to dwell, ‘How can that happen, to present two new alicorns without the world to know who or what you are?’

I sigh hard, nearly as much as she can, closing my eyes in concentration thinking of a solution, one favorable for every pony. Somehow, in the gap of silence I found the solution, which might, though will be awkward to an extent. “Princess, I’m sure you will be angered by my suggestion but…” I trailed as I look up, and for a fraction of a second I saw a glint in Celestia’s eyes as she looks down at me with such focus and intent. “I know this may sound rude and rushed but, why not, we, as in, you and I try to be a couple…?” I suggested trying not to sound desperate, begging or even embarrassed, when in fact I just did sound embarrassed to ask. And when I finished, I found my hear t racing, nearly wanting to jump out of me.

Then, in some odd way, Celestia moves off her throne, looking out at the evening sun, though not close to setting as she walked her way towards the throne room doors, intent on leaving. “I will consider that… my knight.” She gestured to me when she stopped to look behind her, to see me standing stiff, really, I’m looking at Celestia’s flank right about now and it has the right curves… Before anything she giggles catching me in that act as she left and sure enough the many ponies, who were in waiting groaned in annoyance, not seeing me yet but quickly they left, while some of the castle hoofs were at their work, quickly setting up the drapes, the tapestries and such.

I followed Celestia as best as I can, my armor trailing me as well, acting on my new life as her personal bodyguard, which I seem to cling on to myself. As quickly as my hooves can, I gallop away to chase her, while my armor was quick to reach her, again, my subconscious knew what my armor should be doing. Sure enough I was trotting besides her escorting her, my armor to her left while I was to her right. But in me, my body felt warm, raising in temperature at my neck first as somehow, in some way, my wings brushed hers and that small surge made me blush.

Clearly, I did not rectify it from me when in fact Celestia’s own wing rubs on mine, and nearly rubbing on my flank. “So… how shall I convince thee?” I asked her with the little change in my tone, as to sound suave, again trying to get to her, which seems to work as her blush was very evident against her pure white coat.

She smiles warmly at first and looks my way, her eyes showing such passion and attraction at me. “You can start by courting me.” She said before we reach her quarters, again she opens the door with her magic, the two guards saluting her and with it, she takes hold of both doors, preventing me, or even my armor from entering her chambers. “Then I MIGHT take your plan.” She said and before I knew it, she winks and closes the door shut, making my eyes widen, as both me, and the two guards also having the near identical expression on me.

And so, I did what she has suggested which was, nearly different from what I thought she would say, nearly out of character, but then, I’m not complaining. I courted her, many a times, even when she was busy. I have tried to serenade her, but then most of the pegasi guards gave me weird looks.

I have also suggested to my brother to keep our armors like antiques in our bedchambers, which, I have specially asked Celestia for, to have both our rooms adjacent and the closest living quarters to the dungeon. I planned to take my place back, which gave many of the ponies a scare as the spot of the golden armor was now occupied by an alicorn that could match Celestia’s own image.

As the courting went on, so did the implications that she is considering. A few times I have caught her sighing my way in my serenades. A few when she had her wings open stiff when I offered her gifts, which was some special things I asked from my home world, again future stuff, especially the special three dimensional image, which might have both impressed her and surprised her. I also have tries to flaunt my assets her way, which was met with mixed results as she may be, but avoiding me all together and it was a bit frustrating to decipher what she is thinking.

“Am I doing something wrong?” I asked my brother, who stood in front of me, his eyes looking at me with concern though glancing down at the book he was reading while we were at the library, Note Worthy looking at us with disbelief and a hint of stranger presence as it would seem Celestia has not completely informed them of who we are, even making up names for us. “I mean, I’m trying my best to court her, really, a gift or too, a picture of her, serenade her, and the name she gave us was Sunbeam and Moon Glitter.” I said in a near annoyed tone, my own body tensing with a mix of anger and disappointment to myself.

My brother started to chuckle under his breath. “Brother, have you not seen her reactions? She is slowly succumbing or accepting you.” My brother said his own calm and collective demeanor being the reagent to my own explosive and near anger attitude. “From what I hear from Luna, she is interested in you, but she has a problem of showing it, especially for her being too busy and thinking about for her nation.” He said with a mixed tone of ‘obviously’ and ‘calm down’ I sigh once more as I look over the book under my own face. “Besides, from what I hear from Luna, she’s considering you right about now.” He said as he finally looks down at his book and reading.

I snapped at his last words, she is considering me? “Really?” I asked a bit surprised and smart enough to keep it down in the library. I was excited but now hearing this I was confused. “But she showed such restraint… not like Luna, who I’m sure, has called you up to her room, many a times in the morning.” I slyly said, leaning over the table as if asking for gossip from my own brother, embarrassing and a bit stupid but hearing something positive would be better than being in doubt.

My brother made a glance at me, looking left and right first before, “Look, Luna has asked her sister about you and her. The response given was that she is REALLY considering your plan but she is keeping your relationship on a hold, even if there was none to begin with, in your current form at least.” He answered looking at me with a slight annoyance at me.

“Well you didn’t do much…” I tried to counter his now annoyed face.

“You and I know very well, she needs attention and some pony to hear her out. I did that and I enjoy if not, love her company.” He spoke, again sending a dagger through my body at how stupid I was to try and make a guess when in fact it was all true anyway.

“Fine, fine, I just need one last answer though…” I can only sigh looking at the book about the courting rituals of yesterday and today… “Do you think she has the herding mentality?” I spoke keeping it at the very lowest as Note Worthy was just two bookshelves away. Somehow, in the silence he gave me he looks at me with annoyance once again but nods slowly. And something inside me screams, ‘LUCKY! ME!!!’

The months passed, a new year has arrived and there is no new development in the pony society, well except for the Castle guards and hoofs being well acquainted with ‘Sunbeam’ and ‘Moon Glitter’. The princesses doing their work and their job as usual, Luna and ‘Moon Glitter’ showing public affection, which Celestia reprimands that they are to act on their age and be proper. Still, I am left alone for the time, my courting failing slowly but surely.

My serenades are getting shorter and shorter, not that entertaining, hard to come up with a new song every week. My own present becoming less entertaining for her, even the flowers and chocolates are being rejected, something about trying to avoid gaining weight… And all in all, we calmed down a bit and I just kept myself in a calm and collective attitude.

I awoke to the morning, another day like any other, expecting the birds chirping and the sun being what it was, big bright and yellow. I yawn out, trying to wake myself as I stood up. I was happy for a moment but quickly I banish it for a moment to take in my thoughts once more.

“A new day is upon me” I sigh out in defeat as I try to keep myself calm. I glance at my armor, set to stand and act hollow, a camouflage, as I walk out. Naked as usual, my mane flowing behind me likes the sun’s rays in three prominent points. I smile as I made my way to the throne room, taking my place at her side as I stayed vigilant, now even showing signs I would court her for the day. I can hear her sigh a bit but I did not pay attention for a moment. The day moved along, relatively calm and very serine, but during midday did something happen, a kind of dread fell upon me, like it should be expected but with my memories locked, I could not tell what is about to happen, when Captain Shining Armor bursts in, screaming.

“Princess Celestia! WE have an emergency! A creature just came out of a statue in the royal gardens and in an instant every went into chaos!“ He shouted some which took our attention at first but looking at him now, he was not kidding, his made was singed and his own body showed signs of fire being smacked on him for a few times.

Quickly, Princess Celestia trotted out of the throne room without a second thought, leaving me a few guards and the hurt Guard Captain. As much as I wanted to help, I stayed, something in me demanding I stay put. I look at the guards giving glances here and there, until the Captain fell down, huffing and tired.

“Get a medic here!” They soon shout out, as they start to move the Captain out of the way. But I quickly intercepted them and lower my horn down, I focus, slowly but surely my energies move to my horn and with it, I focus further directing my magic to Shining Armor.

“Do not worry I can heal him.” I spoke in the softest and calming tone I can muster as I cast my magic. Slowly, Shining Armor’s slightly scorched coat was slowly growing back as was his own mane, then in a near instant, Shining Armor was standing on his hooves with a sigh and looking up at me with a smile.

“Thanks…” He said not bowing to me but thanks is still thanks. “Alright! I need all of you to prepare and outside now! Even with all the crazy that’s happening we need to be prepared!” He commanded which took the attention of many of his soldiers as they left the throne room, in a hurry. I sigh as I waited for them to close the doors behind them. I sigh, so long since I’ve actually done anything and a new threat came about. I move quickly to the double doors opening it with magic and quickly, I found the corridor quiet and silent, as if all the life was sucked away.

This gave me a time to ask myself, “What the-?” Really, it was odd, strange even to see the windows calm and bright, no image of the outside and sure enough I took a double back into the throne room, still in wonder when I arrive into not the throne room, but the same corridor, which was… lively, more alive and the same place I have been. The two guards guarding the throne room door no longer present as I trot out. In an instant, I saw the chaos Shining Armor was shouting about and I quickly look around to see in the distance Princess Celestia galloping towards the towers.

“Princess!” I shout out as I try to keep up with her extraordinary speed. Really, I’m surprise she can gallop so fast, but concerning the situation, I can see why she would be fast.

“No time Knight Daybreak! I need to do something for my student!” She shouts her response as she moves out of the castle, seeing the kingdom not in destruction but in a world of chaos and crazy. The world before us was changed, the sun and moon shone at the same time up in the pink flashing sky. The birds were grounded, digging holes, the Royal guards running about, away from their oversized spears that had now been rolling largely, some still normal, but the other unfortunate ones were now floating in the sky or worse, speaking gibberish.

All this chaos staring right at our faces as houses in Canterlot seem to either float slowly now or grow legs and walk through the streets. Discord was out and it was chaotic enough. “This is way too much, even for me…” I said seeing all this, and this was where Discord was, not where he IS.

“Really? I find his work, sloppy and mediocre at best…” A third voice spoke out similar but completely different that of Discord. We froze in place, looking at one another, the owner of the voice being neither of us. Fear and some pit of worry overcame me as we look to where it came. The voice continues, this time, more feminine and confident but with a hint of boredom.

“But who am I to argue, it’s good to see less stallions around here.” Said this new voice that came from another Draconequus that stood looking over at the mirror admiring herself, and how I knew it was a she was the very more slender, prominent look of her pony head, being similar to a females and having hair than a beard and goatee.

“Ah, but then, I smell something that has my kind of Chaos…” She said with a smile as he looks over to us, but her eyes, her sharp and near threatening eyes was poised at me… my body frozen in place at her gaze. I wanted to flee as her stare was poised at me, very intent showing no such gap of her stare.

“Who are you?!” Celestia shouted some as she conjured a shield that shone a bright golden yellow around the both of us but with the snap from this new draconequus’ fingers and Celestia’s shield was rendered into an assortment of nuts that rained down on us as Celestia and I shielded our heads from the small but rain.

“Hm… weaker Celestia, who knew. I guess this word is too girly than I thought…” She said as he she now sat on a couch, sipping tea from a teacup and well… all of it floating above us.

“How did you-?” Celestia started but quickly, as she tries to ask, the Draconequus snap her fingers and sent Celestia up into the ceiling, a gravity altering spell just on her.

“Please, you are not interesting… but your… male of a guard is…” She said, pausing from time to time as she licks her lips, clearly implying something to me, which I know very well of. I charge my magic, my horn glows with a sudden gold shine as I ready myself.

“As much as I want to fight it out, I believe introductions are in order. Since I am a gentlecolt, I am Daybreak! Personal Knight of-” But instantly, after hearing a snap of a finger or paw I felt my legs stuck onto the ground, as if I was shackled to the floor when in fact there is no such thing. I took a glance down in surprise that when I looked up I was face to face with the Draconequus woman, her wide smile, even with the cute fang on her seemed to radiate attraction if not, affection.

“It’s been so long since I’ve met a chaotic male, excluding of course my other selves.” She stated with a soft lion paw moving to caress my cheek. I flinch and move back but another snap of her fingers, or talons from the avian appendage she has, my body was rigid, stiff and I was helpless as she caress my face further. “Now, your name is Daybreak? Oh you can help me with a problem I keep having every morning, handsome.” She said with a tone of seduction as her breathing was evident, the warmth of her breath, somewhat a rude manner for a female, but her panting about and the scent of it made my head light.

“Get your hooves off my MALE!!!” I felt a ping of joy from Celestia shouting from above us as her magical beam traveled from her now upside-down self towards this Draconequus only for said Draconequus to snap her fingers, the magical beam rendered into milk, suspended in mid air and Celestia being sent down onto the floor, enough to make her stutter trying to stand up. I try to move about, but again my body being stiff rendered me helpless to the CARESSES of this Draconequus.

“Please, I’ll be taking him as his first and top... Princess…” She said as her paws found her ways to slip past my legs and OH! My own body shivered in the spot she chose, my own hormones making me moan out to my still movable lips as I try to reject her but my own betraying me as that certain section between my legs was continued to be groped and caressed by the female. “Well equipped and very stunning stud.” She said as she took a side glance to the side. “OH to have you as my mate… all the chaos you have in you, it’s so sweet and very tantalizing.” She said slurping as if trying to seduce me, which was working as her palm was now moving slowly the underside of my proud soldier.

“What do you want with me?” I tried to say, through the moans that I make while my body shivers and flex a bit from her continued activity with my stallionhood. I glance at Celestia who now had a large blush on her cheeks that rendered me to blush myself. Instantly I found myself in relief as the Draconequus released her tantalizing grip off my stallionhood.

“OH, well, I started off as being a Spirit of Chaos in my world.” She started as she snaps her fingers and rendered her to lie down on Celestia, as if a Psychiatric couch or chair while I was forced to stand beside them both as if I was the psychiatrist. Celestia herself was stiff as was I as this Draconequus continues. “I was Eris! OH yes, doing the bad that no other pony can, oh how I enjoyed it but then I was always stopped, Three times by six very annoying colts!” She screamed in anger as if trying to curse them from beyond the universe.

“Celestia’s favorite student, a damn colt who doesn’t even know that their male numbers are what’s causing me to escape. Short sited fools!” She said as she now rest on her belly, atop Celestia’s back while her head rests at her mane, again I can only stare at the position she’s making, Celestia making glances at me but I can only give a worry look as I too was stuck.

“Oh how I loathed them, really, three times, successfully sealed, I mean, I gave them a damn riddle the first time I escaped, in millenia, and somehow, even with them bickering what the answer was that damn Unicorn, Dusk Shine, answers it correct and sure enough, even with their hot headed attitude, they still activate their Elements and seal me!” She shouted, her eyes watering which she wipes off with a finger and the tear drop landing on the carpet only for us both to see it burn through the carpet, floor and stop at the wood under the marble.

“No, I mean why me?!” I said, trying to get her to move about in her activity as I glance outside seeing the night change to day, in fast instances like a child playing with the nightlight with ease, though strange enough, the castle was not affected, as if blocked by a neutralizer, which I can guess was…

“Eris, please, can you release us?” I asked her as polite as I can, really, I was near desperate, I admit, not that many straight guys actually want to listen to girls complaining, IF they were not their lover, relative, or close friend. Somehow, Eris stops, glancing at me, as if eyeing me, and I felt my stallionhood once again caressed making me moan a bit. Then I heard a snap of a finger and then in that instance, I was standing, well in control as was Celestia while Eris stood in front of us with a stern stare at us. There was tension as Celestia focuses her magic once more, only to Eris to snap her finger and encase Celestia’s horn on a tennis ball and her magical power ceased.

“Look Princess I may be LIKE Discord but I’m not so be a good leader and hear me out.” Again Eris spoke, completely acting so random, as if diverting our attention and jumbling us to what she is trying to do. Celestia gave a stern stare but kept that stare as she spoke, acid being spit out through her words.

“I will, but make it quick, my student is in dire need of my help. “ She said as she kept that threatening gaze which made Eris smile further.

“I’m just a female looking for a new home, I’m not here to cause too much problem in this world. Just that, I sensed this male’s presence since three months ago and it took me so much time to… find him.” She said licking her lips again, as she floats around me, eying me, both I and Celestia, if her gaze was to be accounted for, followed her as she continues. “I left my world, since I’m basically sick of seeing Your… or maybe, MY Celestia’s face and her student that I wanted a change of scenery and all that.” She said as she now reclines back this time stopping in front of me, trying to come closer to me, only for Celestia to block her.

“And what do you want with MY Knight?” Celestia asked, again the poison in her tone.

“Oh nothing, just the slice of the action, or more like him in general as… well considering you don’t call him lover, I want him to be my special somepony…” She said with a very pleased smile, which made me sweat bucket if I can as I move back. I hear a gasp from my charge as she glances back at me and at her.

“No! Why would you-?” She tried but Eris beat her to it.

“Please, there’s a legal rule of herding in this world and I plan to use it to the extent princess.” She said in a mocking tone as this surprised both I and Celestia.

“You follow a rule?” I asked in a near disbelief as the Draconequus smiles further holding the book, which was magically summoned by the spirit of chaos and moving to the page where said rule.

“Of course there should be a rule, I mean, if there were none, then there’s no clear definite line between order and chaos, thus, if I was chaos and there was no rules to break, then, there’s no chaos at all, just an empty place full of something.” She said as she smiles further, shooting daggers at Celestia as we composed ourselves back. I can feel myself start to question why it has come to this and quickly Celestia still refused.

“That rule can only apply if the male has taken a female and having his wife’s consent.” She countered, starting their small debate only for Celestia to be shot down quickly,

“He hasn’t taken a female yet…” Eris said with a ‘tsk tsk ’ motion of her finger as she poofs the book away and quickly appeared behind me, sitting on my back as I stiffen once more, my wings expanded with a reflex as I felt my stallionhood once more caressed by her tail, this time, no grip at the least.

“Get your paws away from my knight!” Celestia added but then Eris just snaps her fingers and a cloud image of the events outside of our field of vision shows us that Twilight was now facing Discord with the Elements of harmony only to fail in that attempt with the ragtag group of bearers that she tries to gather. Sure enough Discord laughed at Twilight’s face without regret and slowly Twilight succumbs to defeat.

“Your nation is going to fall… I don’t plan on doing anything that’s as big as he’s doing, besides, I only asked for this male…” She said as she snaps her finger away and worry seem to be embedded on Celestia’s face. I sigh, the worry also growing within me as I saw Twilight, in the deepest if not the hardest scene I have seen her in ever since I took care of her all those years ago.

“Celestia…” I started which made the Sun Princess to look at me. “She needs you and your nation is in peril. You need to do this for the nation first, innocent lives are in danger and you need to do what you can to help her.” I told her which made Eris chuckle at our scene. “We can worry about Eris later, right now, you need to help her, she is the one of six that can stop Discord and she cherishes the friendship she had now.” I spoke to her as she slowly nods though with worry in her face as she gallops away up into her tower, a plan I do not know of.

“Wow, Such control…” Eris comments atop my head as she rests her form along my back to my head, as she rests on top of me, all the while her tail… swings between my legs enticing me, but I suppress that inner desire for a moment to look up at her.

“Look, I know we’ve just met and all, and you clearly are the more… powerful one between the two of us but can I at least get one serious talk with you?” I said, and knowing the Entity of Disharmony and the Spirit of Chaos being unpredictable and against such boring topics but then she quickly smiles and stands beside me, though rubbing her slender and soft form against my side and flank, a shiver surges through my form but I quickly dismiss it, shaking my head before looking at her.

“Sure, a serious talk with a male of such chaos… I can listen…” She answered as she looks at me, though very close… enough for me to now notice she had breasts… Damn sizable ones… wait when did that happen?

“Eris, you are distorting this world, I need you to please, stop that.” I told her as straight as I can, which she responded by continuously staring at me. “I know I will regret saying this, but, If you stop your world exploration-” But I was interrupted.

“I already have, ever since I arrived here 3 months ago, Nightmare Night as this dimension calls it, I stayed here for a time to ensure that I wasn’t dreaming about that energy residue that was entirely different if not stronger than my own and my counterparts.” She spoke while a white board quickly arrived with charts and line graphs written on it about Chaos readings and Eris in a very slimming lab coat. Somehow, I cannot look away as she continues, her slender form being sexy in such a tight fit…

“So I scoured if not looked for the source, at first I was thinking it was me being lonely if not, just delusional since there is no perfect world and form all the dimensions I’ve visited. Then came about the time I found my counterpart, still in stone, ironically, it would seem girls have more control over males, but then I now notice that girls in control take things so slow…” She groaned and now the whole board and lab coat disappeared only for Eris to rest herself, dramatically, on my back, using my wings like tissue and wiping her tears away. I sigh as she was clearly enjoying her time to story tell to me.

“And thus I waited for a bit, pretending to be one of the statues, scaring the few guards when they pass by.” She smirks that time as she got off me, appearing in a poof in a pony form, one reminiscent of Celestia if ever there was a statue of her in the gardens.

“Oh yes, acting like that one counterpart of Celestia… The one with the pink mane, very slender and sexy body and flank” She though hard before a torch lit over her head, “Princess Molestia! That’s right! Well I did that and when my counterpart escaped did I feel your chaos energies… and it was amazing, to see you even break through the one strong magical enchantment made by Discord, I just had to have you, a strong powerful male, chaos strong enough to counter anything as long as you are willing… and a gentle’man’.” She said with a hint of her mischief if not, ‘I know your secret’ tone.

I paled at that mention and somehow I knew she had her eyes on me, all of me… I felt fear for the first time, coming from a Being, a BEING! “So what do you want from me?” I asked her once more, she completely avoided that.

Her smiles only grew. “I want you to me my husband, or as the slang for this world could be, Mate, though with the herding in the rulebooks, making me your first wife.” She said all this smiling about and really, she looked ready to do so as I look behind her to find a white wedding cake with me and her at the top in a more… ordinary fashion, and the cake being 2 stories high, with 6 cylindrical layers. I look back at her surprised she now has a wedding dress on surprising me to no end as I turn around only to find myself once again, face to face with her.

“Damn it woman! If you really want me to be your husband then stop world hopping!” I demanded from her the thought that SHE was the target my race was after finally sunk into my mind as if, “You, You’ve been reading my mind!?” I said backing away from her but she continues to smile, thankfully without the wedding dress.

“I have, and I have to say, you are one interesting male. I wouldn’t mind having a very intimate relationship with you.” Again, she licks her lips, winks at me and her tail somehow, even when I’m facing her and sees her whole body, tail included, she gropes me with her tail.

“Then, then…” I kept trying to think when suddenly there was a large explosion, or some calm that rushed passed us as we looked out the window to find that Discord’s doing was now being undone and slowly but surely everything returned to normal. I sigh in relief as I look back at Eris. “But are you really after?” I asked her, thinking out loud once more. I glance towards the pathway Celestia took to see her galloping towards us. But the response I got from Eris, was completely different as if she was never like that in the first place, as if, she was trying to hide something but now, she spoke, in a saddened and very wishful and hopeful tone.

“I just want a new place to call home…” She answered me, looking down in near defeat, and somewhat started to leave. I saw Celestia, her usual anger and spiteful look against the counterpart of Discord gone as she heard her, she looked at me worried and somewhat angry at me. Call me crazy but damn, female always think guys are at fault.

I sigh as I approach her slowly and answered her, as truthful, as meaningful and as convincing as I can. “You can call this home if you like.” I don’t know if it was crazy or not but something inside me, in the depth of me, I knew I did the right thing, even if this one being was so random, chaotic in her own way.

Author's Note

And I'm BACK!!!
Damn my University enrollment had so much problems for me. Anyway, I finally scheduled myself to have enough of a break within my schedule to work on this. Thank you Free schedule choices!!!

I know I'm going to regret saying this but, Eris here is maybe somewhat based form the Genderswap in DA but I was not sure about the owner's personality. So, this Eris is not that Eris, but if a conflict occurs and I am asked to change her name here, I will do so.
