***Crimson Suite 20:33***
I was nervously waiting for the royal sisters in my room. I was staring at my weapons and thought to myself...´´How many people have I killed with these?``
´
´´Why are you being sentimental all of a sudden?´´
´´I don't know...Lately I've felt like I'm much more angry and brutal than I usually am, and that's saying a lot``
´´A quick recount, you've killed three teenage dragons, eight timber wolves, four diamond dogs, thirty eight changelings, three gryphons and from what I can see from your memories is that you are pretty sure that you have a confirmed number off 121 kills...I say half of those are unconfirmed you cheating bastard!´´
I gave a sigh..I wouldn't expect someone like Legion to understand what I meant´´That's not the point, ever since I came to Equestria, it has felt like I'm losing my self more and more.´´
Legion didn't answer after that...Something was up with him. But I could hear delicate hoof steps outside my door´´At Least my senses are still very functional.´´
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Come in!" I raised my voice loud enough to be heard outside. The door opened and revealed princess Luna and princess Celestia."Hey you two, What's up?" I skipped formalities and addressed them as friends instead of as my bosses.
"Crimson is everything alright?" Celestia asked me with a look of concern over my down mood.
"Nah, I'm fine." I replied monotonously
The princesses gave a quick look to each other before continuing. "Crimson we want to talk to you about something very...Concerning."
"Oh?" My eyes widened in curiosity of what was gonna come next. "What is it?" I carefully asked, ready to jump out of the window if Celestia was going to try to rape me again.
"I haven't been entirely honest with you about something" I dropped my guard and went back to my previous composure in confidence that there wouldn't be more sexual harassment."Legion It's time for you to reveal yourself for who you truly are."
"WAIT WHAT!?" I shouted out in surprise.
´´I knew it was only a matter of time before Celestia would tell you the truth´´) ´´What is she talking about?´´
Legion forcibly took control of my body and started to talk and I could only listen and think to him. "I will show us who I was and who I truly am" Legion enveloped the room in a shroud of darkness and only me and the princesses could be seen. He released control and before Celestia, Luna and myself, I saw Legion's human form. A man with short blond hair and armor reminiscent of mythological greek armor similar to the royal guards armor.
"I am Alexander the great."
Celestia's eyes started to become swollen red as she started to cry. Seeing this man, her former lover, that she hadn't seen for the past two thousand years in his own form. "Legion..." She stepped closer and tried to put her hooves on his chest but they just went right through him like he was a ghost, It was very poetic now that I think about it, two lovers who can never touch each other ever again.
"Forgive me my love but I am still a spirit" Legion turned towards me."I can see in your mind that you know who I am.
"No fucking way....No fucking way...I may not know much about greek mythology but anyone who has studied ancient history knows who Alexander the great is..."
Legion/Alexander started muster a dark chuckle."I am surprised that people still remember my name. But back to the matter at hand, I think it is time for you to find out who I really am and who you really are."
I was still in shock..."What do you mean who I really am?" I snapped out of my shocked state.
In a blinding light we were transported to what looked like...Earth.
***Macedonia 2300 years ago***
"Legion!? What the fuck! Where are we!?" I asked nervously.
Legion started to chuckle again. "I'm surprised you don't recognize this. This is Afghanistan, 2000 years ago, It used to be a part of the Macedonian empire, which I conquered."
I looked over the younger version of... Alexander above him like a ghost."What does this have to do with anything? Why would it affect me if you are alexander the great, so what?"
"Just watch"
Alexander dropped to his knees in hopelessness... He felt like he wouldn't be able conquered the Persians. With his father gone, now he couldn't hope to defeat the Persian Empire, outnumbered and without enough experience to command an entire army. All of a sudden, what looked like living smoke and shadow was making its way towards him.
"What is this!?" Alexander looked around trying to make sense of this
"Greetings great one." The shadowy figure spoke without taking shape.
"Great one? What is the meaning of this, and who are you!?"
"We are one, but many. We are Legion!" The echoey voice still didn't reveal his form
"What do you want from me? Are you a messenger of Hades here to tell me the some news about my father?"
"No, We are not. We are here to extend an offer to the newly crowned king."
"Offer? What kind of offer?"
"We know of your desires, and we know of your fears." Legion said with two diffrent voices. "We will give you strength equal to a thousand warriors, the speed to grip an arrow heading towards your body and we will make you invulnerable to any wound caused by a man"
Alexander couldn't believe it. He will literally be invincible..."What is the catch?" Alexander knew it was too good to be true
"There will be a curse that will run through your bloodline, They will also inherit your powers including the price it costs to acquire it"
Alexander couldn't believe it. "Is that all?"
"Yes"
"Then I accept your offer Legion." The demon gave a quick chuckle before it went inside Alexanders body."Now we are one"
*The memory was dispersed and everything went black*
"The C\curse will run through your bloodline? Unless I'm still sane I would give it a guess that it has something to do with me?"
"This may come as a shock to you but...you are my last descendant, with your family's demise you are the only one left with a even a small trace of my bloodline"
"No...Fucking...Way. I'm sorry but I'm calling out on your bullshit! How do you even know that I'm your distant relative?"
"Because the spell I used to live inside your mind can only be used on relatives that I share blood with. Think about it, where do your parents come from?"
I thought about it for a second, then I remembered that my mom's side of the family came from England during world war II. and my dad's side of the family has been in the U.S ever since it was colonized...but they also came from England...and England was colonized by the Greeks in 400 AC"...So it is possible..." I said to myself in awe.
"In secrecy I had many lovers and some of them birthed children with my blood..but most of them died in times gone by...your lineage was the longest., and last to survive."
"If I am related to you, then why didn't any of your children have your strength, and why don't I?"
"The price to unlock the powers are to be corrupted by evil...I was corrupted by my thirst for conquering Asia... In the end it led to my demise at the hand of an elephant that stomped on my head. I've read your mind, and I already know the lie they used to make me look invincible in combat. Poisoned, what a joke!" He scoffed at the idea that poison would kill him
"What now? Will I get your strength or something? or will you give me some bullshit prophecy about how I must control my anger and brutality or else I will be the end of Equestria?" I made fun of the cliche
"If you allow yourself to be corrupted you will will lose everyone you hold dear. But you will also unlock strength of Legion."
"How can you be 100% sure that I it will happen to me?"
"Because it also happened to my son...40 years before I died, I was betrayed by my son, but I stopped him before he brought ruin to Equestria."
"...YOU HAD A SON!??!....WITH CELESTIA!!?"
"That is a story for another time, We need to head back now!"
***Crimson Suite 20:37***
I fell to my knees when I returned from Legion's memories, in the thought of the moment, as I came back to my room with Celestia and Luna staring at me."You're back already?" Celestia asked in surprise
"Showing my memories to him took about ten minutes, but for you it took two seconds"
"So what now. What are we going to do with the ticking time bomb strapped to my DNA" I kept looking down in shame while I was still on my knees.
Luna stepped forward and put her hoof on my shoulder to comfort me. "First, we need to remove the obsidian sword you wield, for it feeds off of negative emotions and heightens them. Then I will be here to help you keep control of yourself, I have a little experience when it comes to evil forces taking control of your body." I looked up to see Luna giving me a supporting smile which made me smile in return.
I could see Celestia smiling behind Luna."Well, I will leave you two alone then." Celestia left the room and out of the shadow void that Legion had created.
I stood up at back to my full height. "What do you feel like doing now?" I asked the lunar princess
Luna gave a small blush."Have you ever sat on a cloud before?"
I gave a confident smile I knew what she meant by it. I took off my shirt and sudden *POMF* noise could be heard. I looked back at Luna and she was having...What looked like a wing boner. I quickly snapped her out of her blushing. "KENDOV SIL MULAAG!" Luna was shocked from the sudden dragon shout. But she could see my eyes changing color and my veins in
my neck started to pump green purple blood. My wings started to spread and I didn't feel anything. After the very quick display of my wings unfolding she just stared at me
I gave a chuckle from Luna's shock of me not feeling any pain from my unfolding wings."Its a trick Legion taught me to make the pain go away"
Luna started to smile again. She used her magic to open up the balcony glass windows. "You ready?" She readied her wings
A small confident smile was drawn on my face."lets see if you can keep up with me."
***Celestia View***
I could see how my sister and Crimson were doing some very impressive air acrobatics.´´I wish...I wish I could share this moment with Legion...But I guess she deserves it more than I do. I still can't forgive myself for what happened.´´
I could feel the tears start to come as I remembered how I was forced to banish my innocent sister, I took a deep breath as a tear fell off my cheeks and splashed on the floor. I used to sing this little Lullaby in memory of my sisters tragedy hoping that she could hear me, and hoping she would feel better...I cost her a thousand years of joy because I couldn't see my sister's sorrow. She deserves to be with him even if it means I won't be able to be with Legion
***Third person view***
Luna was enjoying her time with Anthony. She hadn't had this much fun in eons. It was a nice change from looking off balcony. They landed on a cloud, To Anthony's surprise, he has never laid down on something as comfortable as this.´´No wonder rainbow sleeps so much.´´ he thought to himself.
"Tired already?" Luna said with a cocky grin.
"That's what she said." Anthony started to chuckle. "These clouds are making me fall asleep. They're just so damn comfortable, and to add insult to injury, the moon is so beautiful it's making me start to doze off to sleep with its angelic glow." Luna couldn't stop smiling. Anthony really liked her nights.
A cold breeze went through the air and Luna started to shudder from the cold. "I don't understand how you don't get a cold without fur." Luna said, as she set herself down next to Anthony and rubbed her body up against his..."Sorry, I'm freezing and your surprisingly warm." Luna said trying to find an excuse to get closer to him.
"Okay cut the crap! This is the fourth time this week you rubbed up against me, and you slept on my chest yesterday, so what's up with you?" Anthony asked, pointing out the obvious crush Luna has for him.
Luna was panicking in her mind at this point. Anthony had taken notice of her affection for him and she was very nervous of how he might react to these feelings. He is a different species after all. Luna took a deep breath to prepare herself before revealing her feelings for him."I..I guess there is no point in hiding it anymore. I-I like you..Crimson."
"Okay I'm almost thirty so I'm gonna cut to the chase. I know you have feelings for me. It was pretty obvious. And I feel the same way for you, but.." He looked a little saddened by what He was about to say.
"But what?" Luna asked, worried what his answer was going to be.
"Humans don't usually have intimate feelings for other species...And those who do are looked upon as psychopaths, and disturbed freaks."
Luna felt like her heart was torn from her chest when she felt rejected by Anthony. "I understand" Luna replied, looking away with tears starting to form in her eyes. She stood up and was about to leave. But she was stopped by Anthony grabbing her hoof .
"You didn't let me finish. Those who do have intimate feelings for other species are seen as psychopaths and disturbed freaks, and I'm the biggest one there is." Anthony said with the same cocky smile that Luna had on her face a couple of moments ago.
Luna could hardly believe it. Her heart felt lighter than the air itself, unburdened as it was, by her worry that he would not return her feelings. Encouraged, she jumped on the human, throwing him against the cloud. She pressed her lips to his, sharing a deep, passionate kiss with him.
***Celestia's Room***
Cadance started to giggle behind her hoof. "I knew they were gonna be a couple. You owe me 10 bits Dawn. By the way, why don't you find yourself a lovely mare like Crimson did?"
"I've always been more of a one night stand kind of a guy. No emotions, just sex."
Celestia felt her other personality peaked up at James's statement. "Cadence, me and Dawn Fury need to talk Privately for a moment." Celestia said while giving Cadence her creepy stare.
She quickly picked up what the older princess meant by it and ran out of the room. "What do you want to talk about-" In a moments flash he had chains strapped on his hands, he was completely naked and his body was spread like an "X". "What the fuck!..NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!"
Celestia finally revealed herself in her dominatrix outfit. "Oh yes yes yes" She gave him one last creepy glance before saying. "Yesterday's taste was vanilla, today its chocolate."
"NOOOOOOO!!!"
