''Twi I have a bad feeling about this'' mummer Applejack her hoof nervously scathing at the wooden floor of the Twilight's/ the town's library tree house before yawning loudly. '' I think we should put that book back''
''Nonsense, Isaiah promised to answer all of my questions so his books will have surmise '' Said Twilight surrounded by hundreds of language tomes each based on dead languages and the currently spoken tongues of the known species that live in Equestria, she opens open one that had Gryphon runes and quickly frowns when she sees that none of runes match the ones in the book she 'borrowed' '' Just as once I figure out these runes....''
'' But Twi what if Isaiah founds out that we stole from 'em? He dosn't seemed to be the kind of human that would take kindly to that'' said Applejack unsure if Twilight heard or even thought of what the lone human would so or rather do.
''Oh relax Applejack I'm sure that.... ponyfeathers Minotuar doesn't match either, Applejack please check that diamond dog tome while I overlook this Crystal pony tome.'' said the lavender mare gesturing to a book that was closest to the farmer pony with out looking in her friend's direction ''As I was saying I'm sure that Isaiah wouldn't mind since we doing this for a good cause ''
''and that cause is?''
''Why furthering the knowledge of ponykind of course!'' said Twilight happily clapping her hooves together foalishly before scowling at at the Crystal pony runes '' another dead end, now where did I put that dragon book? I know I have it somewhere... SPIKE?!!?! Where is the great book of dragons?''
An loud snore echoed throughout the library instantly telling the mare where the aforementioned dragon was...
''Momma?'' yelps an half awake baby dragon at hearing somepony calling his name before falling back to sleep with a smack of his lips.

Medical Bay
Isaiah's Room
''.....Mr. Isaiah I insist that you'll press charges Cadance's actions had broken at least several laws both local and international'' said the Doctor sternly for the tenth time in a single hour. Ever since girls left me last night after our heart-wreaking discussion, he been listing each and every law my marefriends had broken, since Celestia and Luna were the local rulers Equestrian law cant really affect them after all royal immunity and the fact the no Equestrian judge in the right mind would ever accept that their morality wholesome and pure princesses could do anything wrong or ''immorally'' which is something I call bullshit on but Cadance was a different story. As the leader of a foreign power the law dose affect her if found guilty she not only lose her statues as royalty but she'll be stripped of her magic which in the end not only it would ruin her for the rest of her life it will cut the Crystal Empire's ties with Equestria with a large chance to ignite a war
''And my answer is still the same Doc I will not press charges until I get my fucking head on straight'' I yelled with my arms across my chest give the doc an glare, I knew there was something off about him ,the ponies as far as I knew idolize the princesses and crave for their approval. But why is this one pony trying so desperately trying to get one of them arrested? It didn't made sense. '' and the sooner you let me out of here the faster I can think''
The Doctor was about to argue further but the chime of one of the nurses interrupts him which was one thing I was grateful for over the passed two days, the bastard wouldn't shut up about what he wanted me to do. what I need was to go home and blow off some stream perhaps going hunting for some comfort food namely meat and more meat. maybe buy or steal some chickens.... I miss fried chicken.
~Mr. Isaiah~ chimed a white furred Pony pushing a wheel chair '' the papers are all in order you are free to go''
''Huh? What papers? I never signed anything?'' I said confused and truthfully I was never handed anything to sign.
''Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are waiting for you out in the lobby'' replied the nurse without actually answering me. I made a move for the chair wondering about these 'papers' but the doctor hoof stops me causing me to turn my head towards him meeting the hard stare in his eyes.
''Mr. Isaiah I understand that you want to wait but Cadance needs to be punished, you are a citizen of Equestria she shouldn't even touch you in accordance with international law 567 banning visiting rulers from harming the citizenry of the country they are visiting..... think long and hard about this justice needs to be done.'' He says
''Doc I already fucking told ya I ain't making that call until I cleared my head beside why you so amendment about this? Cadance pissed in your coffee or something?
''Mr. Isaiah this is not a laughing matter'' The unicorn doctor snaps '' but if you must know ask the Princesses about Cadance's father... Sombra Amore.''
'' Her father?'' I echoed this was the first time I ever heard of the girls having parents wait they started their relationship with each other because they were immortal and all alone helping each other out when the heat hit. Then where the hell is this Sombra and others? Celestia and Luna would tell me if their folks were around....wouldn't they? Perhaps Queen Chrysalis would know.
'' Yes her father'' said the doctor frowning removing his hoof whilst the nurse look'd at him with an glare that could kill. doctor noticing the glare quickly teleported away with a loud epp that almost reminded me of the shy yellow pegasus Fluttershy, maybe he was related to her somehow. The nurse then humph indignantly before reminding me about the awaiting mares and that I should take it easy for the next few days phew like that would ever happen I need a vacation from my vacation. The next time I'm 'forced' to go to Canterlot I'm packing all the C4 I got and blow the shitty city up.
The trip out of the medical bay was uneventful which was something I was happy for I had enough of 'excitement' to last me the rest of my life. The nurse was pleasantly quite the whole way very unlike the doctor who talked my ears off but still why he wanted me to press charges so badly? what did Candance's father had to do with it? When we finally met up with the girls Celestia and Luna smiled at me warmly and lovingly with my bag of the few belongings I brought with me but I could see the painful emotional turmoil in their eyes. My stay in Cantorlot was post to be a few days longer and they were (and myself) hoping to spend every minute with each other....that was the plan but sometimes plans change yet I was surprised that Cadance wasn't there. I though she would at least see me off even given what she did...
'' Are you ready Isaiah?'' asked Celestia with her ears flatten against her head
''yeah...um where's Cadance? I thought she might of wanted to see me before I go''
''Beloved it... it would be best if you didn't see her. she locked herself in her chambers since last night after...well you know'' Luna said sadly pawing at the ground slightly with her hoof. She wanted to say something if her looks told me anything she opens then closes her mouth trying to find something to say.
We just stood there unsure of what exactly to say, letting an spell of awkward silence drown us with it's presents. I guess I wasn't the only one that need some time alone thought the lone human ''oh... '' there wasn't very much that needed to be said that hasn't been said already '' so what are we going to do now?? I don't really know the time since there isn't a clock in the room''
'' it's a bit past noon perhaps we could have a late lunch before we take you home'' said Celestia trying to find something to delay my departure if only for a little while.
''That sounds okay to me''

Isaiah breathed deeply as he found himself at the private dining table the very same table that reluctantly hosted him when the overdose finally caught up with him just a day ago. This time the assortment of foods were simple but as simple that could be allow in the presents of royalty and were placed on small plates and platters that was small as a tea cup to the size of a small pony's hoof, gold cups and rest of the fixings befitting royalty. This time Isaiah chose an open seat next to Celestia who smile a weak smile at the thought while Luna sat on his other side with a equally small smile. Both mares attempted to show the lone human some affection but the human and their conflicted emotions stopped them. The air slowly grew even more awkward then before the decision to stay for lunch out fear of doing even more harm.
The struggling herd looked at each pitifully, each not wanting to leave things as they are but what to say? Their relationship were on it's figuratively last legs and any misspoken phase could verily well end it forever what could they say that won't make things even worse or at least smooth out the ice and might be able to save their relationship.
''Say Celestia who was that doctor who anyway?
''Oh yes Dr. Shinemore perhaps the most brightest doctor to ever work in Canterlot if you pardon the pun.... if I remember right he's from the Crystal Empire where he use to sever the crystal pony royal family'' said Celestia her smile grew a bit bigger but then falters at the memory of the brilliant doctor's latest patient and the reason why '' Dr. Shinemore is one of the best doctors of his generation.''
''Crystal Empire huh? Any reason why he hates Cadance so much? said Isaiah thoughtfully whilst holding curios eyes as his hand lightly picking at the finger food.... hungry but disinterested.
''What? What are you talking about beloved? if anything Dr. Shinemore loves Cadance like she was his own daughter.'' said Luna with a raised brow
''Love? bullshit the fucker had been trying to talk my ears off on how I should press charges on her since last night!'' exclaimed Isaiah
''What?!?!'' shouted the two mares '' Dr. Shinemore spent the entire night with Cadance before checking on you this morning!''
''Huh?'' said Iasiah intellectually
''Yes, after saving you and ensuring that you were stable Dr. Shinemore took Cadance up to her room and remanded her about her actions as well gave us dating advise and identifying our every mistake we made in our relationship then we discussed about the events that led up to the overdose. Then he spoke of how he would ensure that as he put it 'our stallion will be in the best shape he could be in after the given circumstances after I fix him up' which led to the type of medicine he going t-
At that moment the said doctor teleported into the chair siting straight across from the lone human '' Ah Isaiah sorry about leaving as I did but there was a situation with mare and a mop...don't ask but I'm here to given you one last....oh am I interrupting anything?
'' Ah Dr. Shinemore perfectible timing Isaiah here was regaling us that you were with him last night trying to make him press charges against fair Cadance.'' said Luna
'' hmm is that so? Mr. Isaiah why you think I was with you?'' asked the doctor in concern.
''Doc what the hell are you doing! we both know that you keep me up all night with your bitching about international laws, the hundred Equestrian law the girls broke and when I asked why you was so adamant of punishing Cadance you told me to ask the princesses about her father Sombra Amore!''
'' Isaiah.... where did you heard of the name!'' said Celestia her tone heavy and almost dark
''From that Doctor!'' said Isaiah pointing at Dr. Shinemore
