"They get the rules now?" Blitz asks as Gordania came to his room.

Gordania nods. "Yes. Though they hate some of the clothing as that prissy one can attest to."

"Keep an eye on Rainbow and Spitfire in particular." Blitz says putting on his headgear.

Gordania nods. "Yes sir." She said watching him. "You did finish some of your business, right? Or do I need to go if it's a delivery?"

Blitz shakes his head. "Nah, it's fine. Just make sure the rest of them get to the master's home. Mum and I are going to see my not so dying grandfather."

"The intuition talking?" Gordania asks.

"Yeah." Blitz says.

Gordania sighs as she looks away to not let him see her face. "Sir, are you not going to see reality at times?"

"I see you and that flank in my dreams, does that count?" Blitz jokes.

Gordania frowns. "Sir?" She said almost threateningly.

"I gotcha, you prefer show over tell." Blitz says stroking her flank.

Gordania pushes and keeps looking away. "I meant death." She said quietly.

"I try not to think on it constantly." Blitz says before kissing her neck.

Gordania freezes up and moans quietly. "Blitz." She said trying to push him away. Blitz smirks and captures her lips. Gordania eeps and goes wide a bit before sighing internally and kisses him back before he lets go. "You better get going." She said looking him over.

"Only if you swear something on your honor to me." Blitz says.

Gordania gulps and keeps looking away. "What?" She whispered.

"Give me your word first." Blitz says.

Gordania tries to look at him. "What word?"

"Swear by your honor first." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Gordania almost frowns. "For what in the end?"

"Give it and you will find out." Blitz says before kissing her neck again.

Gordania growls. "Fine. I swear." She said grumpily.

"Alright then, when I get back, you finally stop giving me the run around and take you all the way." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Gordania goes wide eyed and immediately slides away. "Um…"

"So you going to prepare?" Blitz asks sweeping her off her hooves.

Gordania frowns and huffs and crosses her forelegs. "Cheater."

"And with that, you become my wife by your own customs." Blitz says leaning his head onto her shoulder.

Gordania groans in exasperation. "You are insatiable."

"I know miss warrior." Blitz says.

Gordania huffs. "You better go. You are almost late."

"Nope, you are early. Be prepared as you might be a mother by next year." Blitz says.

Gordania hits his side. "I meant you."

"I know. Also, I am serious. Are you ready for that eventuality?" Blitz asks.

Gordania groans. "No."

"You better prepare for it. I know you can do it." Blitz says encouraging her.

Gordania sighs. "Okay." She said finally.

Blitz smiles and kisses her neck again as he messes with her feathering on her legs.

Gordania watches as he messes around. "How much do you believe in me?"

"I will never stop." Blitz says smiling.

Gordania pats his head gently. "You better get going."

Blitz smiles and kisses her forehead. "Let's have fun tonight, ok?" Blitz asks.

Gordania sighs. "Okay. Just be sure to treat me right."

"You know I will." Blitz says kissing her neck.

Gordania sighs in relief as she leans against him. "Thank you."

Blitz smiles, setting her down and then fixes her dress.

Gordania raises an eyebrow. "What are you doing? I thought you were undressing me."

"I said after I get back tonight." Blitz says.

Gordania scoffs. "Cheat."

"You should have held out and now you are my wife." Blitz says.

Gordania huff sand looks away. "Idiot."

"Nuh huh, what do you have to call me while alone now?" Blitz asks.

Gordania sighs. "Blitz."

"Nope, try again." Blitz says.

Gordania raises an eyebrow. "Then what is it?" Blitz just smirked at her. Gordania groans. "Husband." She said tired of it.

"That's my wife." Blitz says petting her wild mane.

Gordania rolls her eyes. "You are not even happy with just messing with me."

"Nope, I do it out of love." Blitz says.

Gordania pokes his chest. "You call this love?" She asks pushing him off slightly.

"Yes, because you can be a sour puss at times." Blitz says.

Gordania glares at him. "I am not."

"Yes, you are, but it is adorable to me." Blitz says.

Gordania bonks his head. "Shut up."

"Oh, by the way, you are acting. You must be disappointed I am not taking you yet." Blitz says.

Gordania hits him upside the head again.

"One more hit means I take you now." Blitz says freezing her.

Gordania holds her hoof away from him.

"Now, in case some guards try to get fresh, kill them if they persist." Blitz says seriously.

Gordania smiles. "Sure. Just for you."

"After all, you don't fuck with the Ravens." Blitz says.

Gordania smirks. "Damn straight."

"See you later my wife." Blitz says before leaving.

Gordania smiles as she watches him leave. "See you." She said before he disappears around a corner and sniffs deeply at the scent he left.

"You ready mum?" Blitz asks.

Mary sighs as she looks herself over. "You think I should get rid of some clothes?" She asks pulling at her dress.

"When we get to the carriage, you may tear that off and reveal your true outfit." Blitz says.

Mary grins. "And such an outfit I shall show off."

"Going as a pirate mare, what a sight." Blitz says.

Mary chuckles. "And I won't disappoint my family whom I never bothered to know much up to now."

"Well more like dad never knew himself." Blitz says.

Mary hums. "Maybe he's just never mess around enough. How many dates has he been on?"

"You know dad mum, not me." Blitz reminds.

Mary slaps him upside the head. "And you should know that you should have asked when you first met him. Always get the answer to everything, including the incriminating."

"I never met dad though. He died, remember?" Blitz asks.

Mary wraps her hoof around him and pulls him close in a sort of chokehold. "And also other members of the family."

"Only two cousins still draw breath now and grandfather." Blitz says.

Mary smiles sadly to him. "Shall we go and see him."

"Yeah." Blitz says using his magic to bring his staffs to his back.

Mary smiles as she follows him outside and onto the lift. "You are still a good stallion now."

"Whatever you say mum." Blitz says taking it down.

Mary grins. "And your future wives are soon to be full of experience when they get you."

"Um mum…now that we are alone, I have something to tell you." Blitz says.

Mary hums as she looks to him. "What is it?"

"I am technically married to Gordania, Anna, and Kujenga by their customs." Blitz says chuckling nervously.

Mary just smiles and kept her eyes closed.

Blitz now had a sense of dread.

Mary's head slowly turns to him with her face still the same.

Blitz gulped silently.

Mary still held the smile. "What customs?" She asked finally.

"Three different customs. One from the zebra tribes south from here. One from the emerald isles north from here. And finally one from a small tribe of batponies in the mountains east from here." Blitz says.

Mary sighs as she feels the wind and looks toward the city. "Blitz?" She asks almost motherly accusing him.

"To be fair, the zebra and batponies customs, not my fault and a mistranslation for the emerald isles." Blitz says.

Mary hums as she seems to be thinking. "Who did you bed?"

"Only Kujenga herself from her persistence." Blitz says.

Mary nods and hums in acceptance. "And the others?"

"Gordania, she won't do it till she recognizes it which she did right before I left and Anna wants to wait for a certain night. Something to do with a holiday." Blitz says.

Mary smiles and turns to him again with her eyes still closed. "And Kujenga? What prompted that? A tribal custom?"

"Yes." Blitz says flatly.

Mary nods. "Okay." She said simply.

"…so going to give a hard time not introducing themselves to you?" Blitz asks.

Mary finally laughs out loud. "No, nothing like that."

"Seriously, no having fun with that?" Blitz asks.

Mary frowns and looks at him sharply with all the happiness gone. "The girls are right. You are a dolt. When did this happen?"

"I was hoping for a show." Blitz says in a sing song voice letting her know he was joking.

Mary still held a frown and starts tapping her hoof.

"So…how do I even do a wedding with those three?" Blitz asks as he leans onto her.

Mary raises an eyebrow. "You don't."

"I want mommy's advice on it." Blitz says.

Mary rolls her eyes. "I mean you don't need it."

"Come on mom. It's just us right now." Blitz says.

Mary sighs. "I'm doing it. Stay out."

"Ok, I will drop it mum." Blitz his tone becoming serious.

Mary nods. "Good. Now then. Shall we?" She asks pointing her hoof off the lift as they stopped a long time ago.

"Let's mum." Blitz says getting off and they head to the carriage.

Twilight tries to hold in her excitement as they walk around town. "Oh my. Is that the Great Stone of Cryer of the kingdom that is said to hold ancient text inside?" She asks wiggling from excitement as they pass by a tall spiky stone tower in the middle of a square.

"Yes it is. Now come on, let's not keep the guide waiting." Gordania says motioning to the pony in green.

Applejack smiles as she looks around. "It's amazing we at least get to see the city. I reckon the food here is good."

"We can eat at the place now move it." Gordania says scarily calmly.

Fluttershy squeaks and tries to catch up with everypony else.

'Why did I get stuck with this?' Gordania thinks.

Anna leans over and actually leans her forehooves on her shoulder while still walking. "You love our hot commander." She whispers into her ear.

"Quiet you and you're supposed to be up front watching for guards." Gordania whispers to her.

Anna rolls her eyes. "Kujenga is taking my place for a bit." Gordania just stares at her with a look. "I'll go now." Anna said zipping off from a dust cloud left behind.

"Good, I hope old Aulgus is ready for them." Gordania mutters as they came upon a large mansion.

Kujenga smiles as she knocks on the door and Gordania took her place. "Mr. Aulgus? It's Blitz's companions and family."

The pony in green clears his throat. "May I?"

Gordania sighs. "Go ahead." She said stepping back.

The pony pulls on the metal face on the door's lower jaw and bells were heard inside.

"What is it?!" They heard a loud voice boom and shake the whole area.

"It is Guarda sir. I have returned with the entourage of master Mystogan have arrived." The pony says.

"One second." The same booming voice said before they hear some hoofsteps. "Now where did I place my bottle glasses?" They heard in a booming voice that still shook the area.

"Sir, the spell is still working." The pony says.

There was a bit of silence. "Oh." The booming voice said before it sounds like it was cut off.

"So what is he like?" Twilight asks.

"To tell the truth, I haven't meet him either." Anna says.

Gordania shakes her head. "He's an enigma."

Soon the door starts to open and out comes an old stallion, his mane and tail mostly grey. "How can I help you?!" His voice yelled almost like a megaphone.

"He's loud." Pinkie said hanging from a tree by her tail after she was thrown back from the voice.

Applejack groans as she sits up from a little fountain pond and pushes her soaked hat up a bit to see. "This is different than Pinkie."

"Sir, the spell." The pony in green says.

The stallion blinks and rubs at his throat before clearing it. "Okay. How's that?"

"Much better sir." The pony says.

"You're Mystogan's master Aulgus?" Gordania asks.

Aulgus chuckles. "Oh this would be fun. So how about introduction routine?"

"I would rather we go inside first as the guards have been watching our group for a while." Gordania says.

"Bah, get back to work you skirt chasing lay abouts!" Aulgus yells at the guards, raising his voice again.

Twilight blinks as she uses her magic to fix her mane. "Is he always this loud?"

"Ask Mysto." Anna says.

"Come in. I will have tea and cakes for all." Aulgus says voice returning to normal.

Pinkie suddenly comes up to him up close to his face with an integrating look. "What kind of cakes?" She asks slowly.

"Pinkie, manners." Twilight says pulling her back by the tail.

Pinkie gives him a look that says she's watching him as she was pulled away. "It better be good."

Aulgus chuckles as they head inside.

Anna grins and wraps a good around Pinkie. "I love this mare."

"Les." Pinkie says dismissively.

Anna rolls her eyes. "Please. If I was that, I wouldn't get all that meat in me." She said in a low voice so others won't hear.

"Ok, bi." Pinky says.

Anna smirks. "Okay then, kiss me."

"Nope." Pinkie says hopping away.

Anna slouches. "Aw, now who else can kiss me?"

Kujenga leans over. "You do know I still have to test you?"

Anna grins as she looks over to her. "You can kiss me."

"Later." Kujenga says making her pale.

Anna slouches again. "I'm never getting a kiss."

Kujenga smiles a bit and rolls her eyes. "Come on. We have to grab a complimentary meal. You can have all the best of favorite food here." She said slightly smirking.

"Yay." Anna says.

Gordania shakes her head. "Why did I go along with this?" She asks herself.

Aulgus chuckles as he hears some of the commotion. "And this is the family you now have? Bravo."

"Master, how was your lecture at the academy?" A pony in blue asks.

Aulgus groans and waves him off. "Boring as always."

"Master, you have to do it. You are a professor at the academy." The servant reminds.

Aulgus rolls his eyes. "Now you need to get some food ready. Big one at that."

"Oh yes…are these all your student's entourage?" The servant asks.

Aulgus nods. "Yes they are. Now scurry along."

"You're a professor?" Twilight asks.

Gordania goes a bit wide eyed. 'Shit!'

"Why yes young lady. I also taught your benefactor while he was here." Aulgus says.

Twilight gasps and held an excited look on her face.

"Twilight, please control yourself." Rarity says.

Twilight blinks and clears her throat as she gets her demeanor back. "Sorry."

"So mom, you ready?" Blitz asks as the carriage approaches the castle.

Mary smiles. "Of course dear. But are you?" She asks noticing the bags under his eyes,

"I haven't been sleeping well." Blitz admits.

Mary sighs. "Sooner or later, it all comes out, so tell it."

"I am afraid of losing the grandfather I have gained." Blitz says leaning onto her.

Mary smiles and wraps a wing around him. "Don't worry, you still have us to look to and we aren't going anywhere. Besides, still fifty fifty he can get through and I call those the greatest odds ever."

Blitz smiles as he knew his mother was lying to comfort him.

Mary smiles and hugs him tighter. "My baby." She sniffs and nuzzles him.

"Mommy." Blitz whispered back.

Mary smiles greatly at that and keeps hugging him,

"So mum, I will tell you now his mane and tail are only half grey last time I saw him." Blitz says.

Mary chuckles. "I wonder, should I called him Grey Mane?"

"Mum, don't be mean." Blitz says.

Mary grins. "Who said I was mean?"

"Old or not, he is still an emperor and has reigned more than a century. He is also your grandfather in law as well." Blitz says.

Mary waves a hoof around. "Still old."

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Mum."

Mary giggles. "Okay, I'll lay off the teasing, but if he teases back, I'm going into teasing mode."

"Oh mum." Blitz says straightening up as they come to a stop.

Mary sighs as she gets up and smiles at the sight. "Not bad a palace." She said looking to the strong and high walls.

"Let us not keep him waiting." Blitz says getting up as the door opens.

Mary smiles as she steps up beside him and follows along as they pass a large meeting hall filled with some high looking nobles and soldiers. "Wow. If I didn't know better, it's a charity banquet." She said almost trying to step on one noble looking at her with a slight grin.

"This is a lighter population than last I was here." Blitz says his voice altered now to sound more mystically echoing.

Mary smiles at his new voice. "Maybe because it's somewhat normal."

"No, they were here for court…" Blitz suddenly goes quiet thinking over something.

Mary looks to him quizzically. "What is it?"

"We will speak later when less ears are around." Blitz says.

Mary nods and continues to walk with him through the crowd. "So where to? You know this place better."

Blitz says nothing until they come to a chamber with a large crystal floating in the air.

Mary blinks. "Please tell me you didn't steal that."

"No, this will take us to the main part of the castle." Blitz says.

Mary raises an eyebrow. "Are you sure you didn't steal a part of it?"

"Mother." Blitz hissed warningly.

Mary looks innocent. "What? Honest question with how you did do things in the past."

"I was a student, not a thief, now come." Blitz says before sending magic from his staff into the crystal.

Mary stares at him before smiling and following along before he walks into some type of platform and suddenly disappears before she stops and blinks and carefully steps where he stepped before stepping onto the platform as well and yells as she disappears as well before still screaming slightly as she looks around before stopping as she sees Blitz drinking something. "You're going to be low in blood sugar for those that aren't use to it." He said tossing her a bottle.

"I hated when your father teleported me like that." Mary says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah and now you know where my mischievous side comes from."

"Yeah me." Mary says smirking.

Blitz rolls his eyes before throwing the bottle away. "Okay, come on."

Mary follows him as he leads her through the halls, noticing that the guards were different and a lot fewer nobles and even they were in uniform.

Mary hums. "Not bad."

"The emperor is a military pony." Blitz says.

Mary hums as she looks at the many guards. "Not bad at all. They could pass for your Ravens."

"Time to be more respectful. We are coming to the royal wing." Blitz says.

Mary smiles. "And that's what I'm waiting for."

"Be respectful." Blitz reiterates.

Mary rolls her eyes. "Too high strung."

Blitz sighs before opening the door and sees a young noble stallion in armor with three knights at his back talking to another noble stallion.

Mary leans over. "Introduction from you." She whispers.

"See that crest on the young one who is taking a brow beating armor?" Blitz asks.

Mary nods.

"That is the house of Zalken, they are kin. Though I have never meet any before." Blitz whispers to her.

Mary raises an eyebrow. "Any others?"

"The three behind him are knights, mostly very capable warriors." Blitz whispers.

Mary looks to him. "Stronger than you?"

"Debatable. They are warrior class. They fight on the frontlines sword to sword." Blitz says.

Mary raises an eyebrow to them as she studies them. "Who's left?"

"Some noble I don't recognize. Excuse me." Blitz says walking forward.

Mary blinks. "I see."

"Look, I don't get why you can't just give the deed rights. You can just cut it in half and it's still fair." The noble said.

"Because I just inherited those from my father. Giving them away so soon is disrespectful." The younger one says.

The noble huffs. "If you don't give the rights, the whole system would be shut down. We won't have money or anything and it can't live in reverse and account. I need those for my life and it can't be touched at all."

Blitz says nothing as he walks in between them as he passes by on purpose.

"Hey buddy! You can't just walk like that and you stepped on my robe." The noble said arrogantly walking up to him.

Blitz doesn't react as he keeps walking, ignoring him.

The noble frowns as he tries to walk in front of him. "Hey! I'm talking to you, you lazy good for nothing grunt."

Blitz moves his staff and blasts him to the side with a shockwave of magic and says. "Leave, you were not summoned by the emperor."

The noble groans as he falls down from being embedded into the wall.

Blitz turns his head to the young noble and motions him to follow before continuing.

The noble nods and follows along with him as Mary follows behind them. His knights seeing this took a post at the door blocking it.

"You are welcome for shutting him up." Blitz says.

The noble shrugs. "He'll come to me soon."

"Not now for if he barges in, it could be taken as another attempt and he is not that foolish." Blitz says.

The noble hums. "I meant my office."

"So do you know who I am?" Blitz asks.

The noble smiles. "You are quite famous Mystogan."

"Correct." Blitz says.

The noble chuckles. "There is a lot of talk about you, you know?"

"I know half is untrue at least." Blitz says.

The noble raises an eyebrow. "Oh, which ones?"

"Many, but we do not have time to discuss this as we near the emperor." Blitz says.

The noble nods as they almost stop near a large door. "So how close would you say you are?"

Blitz doesn't answer and opens the door to see a stallion lying in the bed and a mare standing by the bedside.

The noble sighs. "Always does a heart pain to see family like this."

"Ah, I see you have finally arrived." The emperor says.

Blitz shrugs. "Traffic. Really heavy nowadays."

The emperor chuckles hearing that. "Come closer young Arthur."

The noble smiles and walks up to him. "Yes?"

"I am sorry to hear you lost your father." He says putting a hoof on his shoulder.

Arthur sighs. "It's fine. I try and move on."

"My grandson, do not bottle up your emotions or look down on yourself." The emperor says.

Arthur sighs. "Okay. You take care of yourself though."

"Yes, now please join your cousin while I greet the third and last living member of our family." The emperor said, shocking both him and the mare there.

Blitz sighs and walks up as Arthur backs off a bit. Blitz then removes his headgear showing he looked exactly like the emperor, only younger.

The mare started to look between them. "How…?"

"His grandmother ran off with a witcher despite the emperor's wishes and has been outside of the knowledge of the empire's knowledge." Mary said walking up.

"I am sorry, but who are you?" Arthur asks.

Mary chuckles before saying. "I am his mother."

The emperor chuckles as everypony else, but Blitz was in shock. "Now that's the sound of a granddaughter in law."

"Please don't compare me to you who is pushing more than two centuries of life." Mary says.

The emperor waves her off. "Please, I'm not the getting salt onto the body and increasing the age look."

"She means you don't look your age even remotely." Blitz says the voice manipulation no longer being used.

Mary raises an eyebrow and leans forward. "Is that good or bad compliment?"

"Good?" Blitz whispers back.

Mary hums as she leans toward the emperor. "I'm watching what you say about me."

Blitz just facehooves with the other two younger members in the room.

The emperor chuckles. "I like you. So much fun to talk to."

'Where is my headache medicine when I need it?' Blitz thinks.

'This mare is crazy. Mother or not.' Arthur thinks.

'Oh my gosh, what has been unleashed?' The mare thinks.

Mary keeps staring at the stallion before smiling. "Hi daddy." She said finally waving.

"Granddad please." The emperor jokes with her.

Mary giggles. "Sure 'granddad.'"

"Mother, if you please." Blitz requests.

Mary chuckles as she backs off. "I like him now."

"Told you so." Blitz says.

The emperor smiles. "Nice to finally meet my granddaughter in law."

"Yeah. now where is the dining room? I need some food." Mary says.

They all sweatdrop as Blitz covers his face in embarrassment. "Down the hall." The emperor said pointing down a hall.

"Thank you." Mary says before the emperor bursts out laughing.

Blitz groans. "Why did I bring her along?" He asks himself.

"Now that is the kind of mare we need around here." The emperor says.

Blitz blinks and looks up. "You like her that much?"

"Yes, I do. Most around here are snotty or too proper most of the time." The emperor says happily.

Mary chuckles. "I pride myself on that."

"On to more pressing matters. Grandfather, have you put the senate into recess?" Blitz asks.

The emperor shakes his head. "No."

"Then something is up. Many influential members and minor members are missing from the court at this time." Blitz says.

The emperor sighs. "Then it might be a way to take me down systemically."

"Also, I intercepted a noble trying to browbeat my cousin there to give him lands and deeds." Blitz says.

The emperor frowns. "Did he now? Where is he?"

"Peeling himself from a wall." Blitz says.

The emperor huffs. "Good. Make sure he stays that way."

"So grandfather, what does your legendary instincts tell you are behind this?" Blitz asks seriously.

The emperor hummed, crossing his hooves.

Blitz sighs. "I fear that there might be more. Besides, there are a few counties around us anyway."

The emperor didn't respond and, looking at him, the three youngest found him asleep.

Blitz slaps his head. "Dang it."

Mary, seeing this, starts snickering before starting to bust a gut laughing.

Blitz sighs and sits down nearby. "I sometimes hate his pondering sessions."

"Don't over blow it he is sleeping, plain and simple." Mary says.

Blitz scoffs. "Yeah, that's few and far between. In going to sleep. Wake me when he wakes up." He said closing his eyes.

"Nope, come on. You're showing your mom around." Mary says dragging him along.

Blitz frowns a bit. "Guess I'm the tour guide now."

"They take after the emperor quite a bit." Arthur says.

The mare raises an eyebrow. "Maybe a bit too much."

"So cousin Sentire, how are you?" Arthur asks.

Sentire sighs. "Doing fine."

"Good." Arthur says feeling a little awkward.

Sentire raises an eyebrow. "What?"

"Um well…" Arthur tried to talk.

Sentire rolls her eyes. "What is it?"

Arthur says nothing as Sentire recalls how shy he could be.

Sentire sighs. "Just go to a dining hall and eat something. You would need that because you can't even stand still."

"Um…yeah, sure." Arthur says.

Sentire rolls her eyes as he walks away and looks to the emperor. "You really are trouble."

"Hmm. Not bad." Luna said flipping through a book.

"What you looking through Lulu?" Celestia asks.

Luna shows the book. "This foal's book."

"On?" Celestia asks.

Luna raises an eyebrow. "What?"

"What is it on?" Celestia asks smirking.

Luna hums as she looks at it again. "Something about a cautionary tale about rabbits according to the pictures."

"Oh how about you read this one?" Celestia says giving her a book.

Luna takes it and raises an eyebrow as she flips through the first few pages. "Um…sister? I think you may have given me the wrong one. This just shows sexual positions. So many of them too." She said now rapidly flipping through the book.

"Later chapter." Celestia says.

Luna flips near the end before stopping. "This is about foals. Birth and all."

"Yes it is." Celestia says.

Luna raises an eyebrow to her out of the corner of her eye. "Excepting one?"

"Well you are either gaining a little weight or…" Celestia stops as she smirks.

Luna goes wide eyed and looks down at herself. "No, tis cannot be. We have not initiated the marriage ceremony."

"You don't need to bare a foal little sister." Celestia says.

Luna frowns and looks to her. "Thy sister hath told me that I might be pregnant with the foal of Blitzkrieg. I cannot let this go without a ceremony."

"Well he is still meeting with the ruler. As for you, read the book, it will help a lot." Celestia says walking away.

Luna raises an eyebrow to her as she looks back to the book and starts reading through the foal section. "Huh. So I can be with him at that time." She mused to herself. Celestia was well out of earshot when Luna read the signs of having a foal and found she had none of them.

"Sister!"

Blitz sighs as he looks out a window to which he just saw some kind of light ball float by along with others in their own patterns while clouds floated not naturally in the background and the sun was shining behind the mountain of clouds.

"Always amazing." He said to himself.

"Yes it is. So what now?" Mary asks.

Blitz looks to her. "Grandfather is still not up. Want to visit the barracks? Teach them how to properly guard?"

"Nah, let them figure it out for themselves. And you have mares to see to." Mary whispers the last part to Blitz.

Blitz raises an eyebrow to her. "Uh huh? Which ones if you know that?"

Mary smirks. "Just a feeling. If his age is right, he should be asleep until tomorrow. Shall we?" She asks holding out a hoof to the exit.

"Alright, we shall return." Blitz says leading her to the room they entered from earlier and were teleported down again.

Mary groans as she leans on a banister. "I hate that. Drink." She said holding out a hoof.

"Here." Blitz says giving her the same type of drink from earlier.

Mary gasps as she opens it and drinks it like the last bit of water in a desert. "Why is it like that?" She asks in between sips.

"Because you are not used to it." Blitz says leading her on and out to a waiting carriage. "To Master Aulgus' mansion in town." Blitz instructs.

Audrey hums as she looks over the mechanical books from the cabinet. "This is amazing."

"Please put back anything you get where it was. I try to keep things organized." A librarian says.

Audrey only agrees nonverbally. "Strange that the griffon techniques are different from these guys."

"Ah, I take it you are a mechanic for being so young." Aulgus asks walking up.

Audrey hums and nods. "Yep. Still, these techniques are actually inefficient. If you move the crank spinner here, you would get more power and more efficiency." She said pointing to a part in the book.

"They are like that on purpose. So tell me, you also one of my student's mares?" Aulgus asks.

Audrey nods. "Yes. Though he took me with slight hesitation."

Aulgus chuckles. "Well he does have a certain moral standard."

Audrey nods. "Yeah, got that when he was looking at my flank a lot."

Aulgus smirks a bit as he looks over to some of the other mares looking at the books, especially that purple mare. "How are you all loving the library?"

"It is interesting. Can only understand a few books though." Audrey says.

Aulgus shrugs. "What you see is what you get…unless you understand the language."

"Like her?" Audrey asks pointing out Twilight.

They both look over and sees Twilight with a few books on language floating around her while she translated another. "So amazing." She said to herself.

"So you happy Blitz forced you to learn the language now?" Applejack asks.

Twilight just giggles excitedly.

"I remember how you bad mouthed and told him off for it." Applejack adds, making Twilight stop.

Twilight puts the books below her vision and looks at her. "What did you say?"

"Oh, you don't recall? You did it in front of all of us." Applejack says.

Twilight frowns. "I did not."

"You most certainly did darling." Rarity adds.

Twilight opens her mouth to speak, but Rainbow beat her too it. "Yeah, I heard you for almost an hour after you finished. That loud."

Twilight started looking depressed.

Fluttershy sighs and walks over and tries to catch her eyes before turning around to the rest of them. "You shouldn't be that blunt you know. If you don't mind." She said the last sentence meekly.

They all stared at her looking a bit surprised as Fluttershy got confused before looking to see Twilight feeling up her flank through her dress. "Um…Twilight?" She asks meekly.

"Her version of comfort food?" Applejack asks Rainbow.

Rainbow shrugs. "I thought that was ice cream."

Rarity raises a hoof. "That's mine and my depressing couch."

Fluttershy pokes Twilight's hoof on her flank. "Twilight?" She calls.

"Yes?" Twilight asks still concentrating on feeling her up.

Fluttershy tries to clear her throat. "That's enough and I like my flank back please. If you don't mind."

"Oh…um sorry." Twilight says getting off.

Fluttershy tries to smile. "Oh, it's fine. It did feel like a massage." She said while blushing and scratching a hoof slightly on the ground.

"So where are the others?" Pinkie asks.

They all look around. "Must be looking through the other rooms of the house. You wouldn't believe what I have accumulated over my years." Aulgus said.

"When will Blitz get back?" Rainbow asks bored.

A few knocks to the door answered that question. Before any could react, the bells started to chime.

Aulgus smiles as he bows slightly. "Excuse me." He said before walking off.

The girls listen for the opening of the door and someone yelled. "Blitzy!"

"Fleetfoot. That's enough now." They heard Blitz say laughing.

"You wanted him, now go get him Rainbow." Applejack says.

Rainbow rushes off before she could finish that.

"So you going to apologize to him later?" Applejack asks Twilight.

Twilight huffs and looks away.

"And I thought minotaurs were bullheaded." Applejack says.

Blitz chuckles. "You haven't known Twi for that. She's usually so thick headed, she won't change a single number or decimal even if I tell her." He said walking in with Fleetfoot wrapped around his foreleg and Rainbow on his back.

"So she has never apologized?" Applejack asks.

Blitz shakes his head as Twilight fumes. "Nope and mom is still looking to that spot on the wall that we have never been able to clean."

Spike huffs as he crosses his arms. "I should know. I've been at it for a week."

"Let me talk to her." Mary says.

"Ok mom." Blitz says.

Twilight eeps as she hears her voice and hoofsteps coming towards her. 'Oh boy.'

"Let's give them room." Blitz says leading the rest away.

Twilight gulps as she remained facing away and sweating.

"Oh daughter-in-law." Mary says sweetly.

Twilight eeps.

Blitz smiles as he sat on a couch with Luna on his lap while Rainbow and Fleetfoot were on both is his sides. "So how are your visit going girls?"

"I am liking it but would prefer to get out there and look around more." Luna says.

Blitz smiles as he leans back into her hooves wrapped around him. "I see. And the rest of you?"

"Kind of the same." Rainbow says.

"I wish I could go out as well, but I would be recognized immediately." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot chuckles and nuzzles his side. "Yeah, with that handsome face."

"No, I mean Mystogan is very famous here." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot grins. "Like I said. Handsome face."

"How famous?" Rainbow asks.

"My relationship to the emperor isn't known to but a few so very renown for my deeds and magical powers." Blitz says.

Luna smiles. "Just like back home. Still need to work on being stealthy."

"Speaking of the subject, has Twilight asked to attend the academy yet?" Blitz asks.

They all blink at that. "Strangely enough, not yet." Applejack said wondering about that.

"Give her time. We will be spending a while here." Blitz says.

Luna smiles and snuggles into him. "So what will we be doing?"

"Waiting. Something is up. I think the nobles are making preparations in case the emperor dies." Blitz says seriously.

Luna hums. "Always the conqueror in many lands."

"The reason I believe this is the court's population is so low it can't have representatives for the entire empire." Blitz says.

Luna hisses. "Didn't you have something like this for the history books?"

"This happens sometimes when the topic of succession comes up. Even the current emperors weren't blood less." Blitz says.

Luna sighs. "So what's the plan?"

"We wait and watch." Blitz says as Daring walked in with many books.

Daring looks to the many ponies in the room. "What? I like books."

"What are they on?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks to the pile of books on her back. "History, cultures, mythology, all that stuff."

"A book on cooking." Spitfire adds.

Rainbow smiles and shows hers. "Flying techniques."

"What else you get Daring?" Blitz jokes.

Daring smirks. "Books on sex."

Blitz only facehooves.

Luna smirks. "What kind? Simple or many?"

"Neither, I just love messing with the great Mystogan." Daring says.

Blitz groans as he covers his face. "Why do I even bother?"

Daring smiles and walks over to pet him.

Blitz frowns as he looks up. "Why must you torture me?"

"You decided to marry me." Daring says before kissing him.

Blitz smiles into the kiss as the mares around him hug him tighter. "He certainly has a great family." Aulgus said sitting on the other side of the room watching the spectacle.

"Aulgus, correct?" Mary asks.

Aulgus nods. "That's right. Mystogan's old master."

"I'm his mother and somepony wants to ask you to pull a few strings and allow her to study at the magic academy." Mary says.

Aulgus chuckles. "I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you." Mary says.

Aulgus waves her off. "Anything for my old student."

"Also you could use a mare's touch around here." Mary says flabbergasting him.

Before he could respond, somepony kicks open the door.

"Alright, who said this place needs a mare's touch?!" The new mare pony asks looking around with a glare.

"I did. Got a problem with that?" Mary asks as the mare takes a white glove to check some furniture.

The mare huffs as she checks out the dust building up. "Yes, nopony calls it that in this house anymore."

"Oh and what do they call it?" Mary asks.

The mare turns her glare to her. "A marriage touch."

Mary laughs at that as Blitz gets up. "Madam Juno. a pleasure to see you again." Blitz says with manners.

Juno smiles to him. "Hi honey. Want some good old fashioned cooking?"

"That would be great, but first let me introduce my mom, Mary Read." Blitz says.

Juno raises an eyebrow to her. "Not bad for some stallions." She said to herself.

"Hum, like you know how to cook." Mary comments.

Juno glares at her. "I do. How do you think I kept this fat stallion alive?" She asks pointing to Aulgus.

"I'm fat?" Aulgus asks confused.

"Oh dear, what is going on in here?" A young mare voice asks.

They all look to a smaller mare in some armor and a sword on her back. "A competition." Aulgus said.

"Honey, you are home." Juno says and immediately hugs the mare.

The mare chuckles. "Of course. Where else would I go for some better cooking?"

"I see you have completed your training and are now a full-fledged knight." Blitz says.

The mare smiles. "Yep, now just need to find my placement."

"So now you get to meet my mom. The one I told you about." Blitz says referring to Mary.

The mare looks over. "Huh, it's the loud mare."

"Only when she is cross. When she isn't when crossed, she is terrifying." Blitz says only half joking.

The mare raises an eyebrow. "Okay then."

"So how are you Percival?" Blitz asks.

Percival shrugs. "Same old, same old."

"Who is this?" Anna asks.

"This is Percival, the only daughter of lady Juno and master Aulgus." Blitz says.

Percival waves at them. "Hiya."

"I know I can cook better than you." Mary says continuing to argue while Blitz and Percival talked.

Blitz smiles. "She was just a regular mare when I meet her. When she saw me, she knew there was more to see and experience." He told everypony.

"Like buck you can." Juno says the two now glaring at each other.

Blitz smiles all the while. "Yeah, still the same mare."

"Seeing you throw yourself into your studies with such commitment helped inspire me." Percival says.

Blitz grins. "See, I did help her."

"Indirectly." Gordania says.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Don't ruin my moment."

"So tell me Percival, you remember the lessons I taught you?" Gordania asks.

Percival nods. "Yep. Want me to recite?"

"I would rather you show me." Gordania says.

Percival smiles. "Let's take this into the training area." She said walking away.

"Great, we are left to handle my mother and lady Juno alone." Blitz says.

Luna smiles. "It's not all bad. We can sell tickets." She said grinning now.

"Oh that reminds me. Next cooking lesson mares." Mary says smirking.

All the mares go wide eyed. "Um…do we have to?" Anna meekly asks as she tries to hold up her shaking hoof.

"All, but Gordania, for she is training. Now hop to it." Mary says, most of the mares could swear they heard a whip crack at the end.

They all drop everything and rush off to the kitchen as Mary smirks to Juno. "I have an army."

"But are they any good?" Juno asks.

Mary smiles. "Oh, they are almost masters. Especially one of them."

"Remind me to open our own restaurant when we get back." Blitz says.

Mary blinks. "Didn't you buy one?"

"No, we have a galley in the Raven though." Blitz says.

Mary looks a bit confused. "I mean the beach."

"Oh yeah. I did, didn't I." Blitz says.

Mary hums in agreement. "Now then, I suggest you go the kitchen and wait there. I need a bigger distraction. Post haste!" She yelled.

"Wait, why? I thought you took it upon yourself to teach them all how to cook." Blitz says.

Mary smirks. "Because I need a distraction for them. Who else would be perfect?"

"Something adorable?" Blitz asks.

Mary gains a blank face. "No, you."

"Fine mum." Blitz says.

Mary smiles. "Good, get moving."

"So how are you feeling?" Blitz asks Arthur as they walk down the hall.

"I…I am well enough." Arthur says a little nervous by the rumors of his cousin's power.

Blitz nods. "I see. Are you at least fine with grandfather and his condition?"

"Of course not." Arthur says.

"Good man." Blitz says.

Arthur sighs. "Now then, what shall we do while we wait for grandfather?"

"I unfortunately can't stay much longer. I have other responsibilities to see to." Blitz says.

Arthur nods. "I understand."

"We leave in the week and take our ship the Raven with us." Blitz says.

Arthur hums. "Strange that you don't want this life."

"Keep the throne. It's only a burden, not a glorious thing. To sit on it means you are responsible for all citizens in the country. Think on that, every citizen in the country and the bigger the country, the bigger the population." Blitz says.

Arthur nods. "I'll keep that in mind."

"But everyone wants that power and are willing to do anything for it." Blitz says.

Arthur raises an eyebrow. "Really now?"

"Yes, it also seems too convenient. All of the royal line of succession are dying off, especially since they have in order of succession." Blitz says.

Arthur looks confused a bit. "In order, most would start out in some other way. The other end to avoid suspicion."

"Especially if it was another country like some rumors floating around say." Blitz points out.

Arthur shrugs. "Seems like the best way to show it."

"If you were going to invade, it would be better to sow chaos discreetly, not let them know intentionally what was going on." Blitz says.

Arthur nods. "Yeah. I have to agree with that because it's strange that a country would invade this place now."

"So if it isn't another, it must be…" Blitz stops smirking under his headgear, waiting for his cousin.

Arthur looks to him. "Lowest of the low."

"No, if it isn't an outside influence, it must be…" Blitz tries again.

Arthur thinks on that. "Inside?"

"Correct, so on that logic it must be…" Blitz stops again.

"About the throne." Arthur says.

"Correct cousin. Only a noble would have something to gain from all of that for it means the position of emperor must be filled." Blitz says.

Arthur gets a bit confused. "He does realize he would be a target, right?"

"Meaning he is unbelievably foolish, arrogant, or has some political pull. I am skeptical about the latter because if he did, he wouldn't do it so brazenly." Blitz says.

Arthur hums. "Guess it's time to search for a crazy noble."

Blitz puts a hoof on his shoulder. "Start by eliminating those who have enough influence that they would avoid that." Blitz says before walking away.

Arthur smiles a bit before feeling something in his pocket and takes it out to see some names. "Huh." He looks to where Blitz went. "He's what they say he is."

"And that class is the formula of the earth golem." The magus teaching the class in the academy says.

Twilight smiles greatly as she writes down the formula. "So amazing." She said to herself quietly. "But enhancements…?" She ponders to herself as she looks at the spell circle that was a bit crude in her opinion.

"That is all for today. I expect a full essay on this next week." The magus says.

Twilight hums as she sets up a few sentences before packing up and starts reading the book she had. "Oh how I love my life." She said to herself with her head in her book.

"I'm telling you, the rumors that Mystogan came in on the giant airship just outside the city is true. People saw him and a mare enter a carriage from it." A pony wearing glasses says to other students.

"There is no way he would waste time here. There is nothing good here. The only thing is bounty catches and nothing big popped up." Another student said.

"I heard the carriage went directly to the palace." The one in glasses says.

Twilight's ears perked up and turns to them as she stops. "Heh, who's going to believe that? You're the only one." The other student said before walking away.

When he was alone, Twilight approached him as the pony fixes his glasses and mutters. "Fools."

Twilight smiles a bit and puts her book down a bit so she can see out from the top of it. "I would have agreed. Closed minded bunch." She said making him jump a little.

"May I help you?" The pony asks moving his dirty blond mane out of his eyes.

Twilight smiles behind her book. "Oh, just can't help but overhear your conversation with that guy. Can't believe he doesn't at least try and listen to some facts and see for himself."

"What do you expect from a pony whose parents bought his way in." The pony says.

"So what is your interest in Mystogan?" Twilight asks.

The pony sighs. "Oh, he just inspired me to get more advanced in my studies in magic and see how far I can go."

"Oh, from hearing what he has done or more personal?" Twilight asks.

"I was there when he decimated a pack of monsters with his magic to everyone's shock almost five years ago." The pony says.

Twilight sighs. "Yeah, that sounds like him. Always saving others."

"What was that?" He asks.

Twilight gets a bit confused. "Oh, I just said that was him. Always saving others. Kinda cliché now though."

"You talk like you know him personally." The pony asks suspiciously.

Twilight blushes and coughs a little. "Something like that." She said nervously.

"Uh huh." The stallion says.

"So you know he is leaving in less than twenty-four hours." Twilight says.

The stallion eyes widen. "Really? You can find him?"

"Yes, but what about you? What are your plans from here?" Twilight says.

The stallion sighs. "Just finishing my studies and mentoring under a mage soldier or scholar."

"Hum…you know, Mystogan founded a guild and that ship is their headquarters. Now might be one of your only opportunity to join it." Twilight says.

The stallion gasps quietly. "Where and who do I talk too?"

"So you want to join the Ravens?" Twilight asks.

The stallion quickly nods.

"Well you have an opportunity, but for it, you are going to have to inform everyone you need to you are leaving." Twilight says.

The stallion nods. "Thanks a lot. Who are you anyway?"

"I'll tell you later. I will be waiting at the front of the statue for you." Twilight says walking off.

The stallion smiles as he watches her leave. "Wow. Can't believe she knows him." He said to himself.

Twilight waited in front of the statue of what she thinks is an either a famous mage or the founder of the academy for a little over an hour before the stallion shows up.

"Alright, where to?" The stallion asks with some bags over his back.

"Follow me." Twilight says before leading him on. They walked for a bit through the city till they made it through the gate that the Raven was parked near, letting the stallion get a more up close look at it.

"Wow." He breathed out as he looks it over.

"Yep." Twilight says before leading him to the lift and throws the switch, sending the lift upwards.

The stallion lurches a bit at the notion as he orientates himself. "Woah, this is amazing."

"Yep." Twilight says as they ride up and remains quiet till they reach the top.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as he looks up from the shipment manifest as he sees the stallion near Twilight. "Who's this Twilight?"

"You're looking at a new recruit. You know where the first mate is?" Twilight asks looking at Blitz who wasn't wearing his Mystogan outfit, before throwing the lift's switch with her magic sending it back down.

Blitz points toward the galley as he gets back to work. 'So taking an interest in this huh Twi?' Blitz thinks.

Twilight smirks as she leads the stallion to the galley where Gordania was eating before she notices Twilight with a stallion with some bags and drops her food. "Who's the new meat?" She asks bluntly.

"A student from the academy wants to join the Ravens. This is Gordania. She is the second in command around here and will be handling your interview. Good luck." Twilight says before walking away.

The stallion gulped as Gordania sized him up.

"Fruit, check, meat, check." Blitz says checking off the list as the crew takes in the crates after checking the contents.

"And one tough swordsmare." A female voice said. "Check."

"We got one of those already…wait, what?" Blitz asks looking to the source.

Percival smiles. "Hey Blitz." She said waving.

"Percival, what are you doing here? We leave something at the manor?" Blitz asks.

Percival shakes her head. "Nah, just that I'm joining you."

"…my office, inside. Cheep, take over for me." Blitz says handing the mare the clipboard.

Percival scratches her head and follows him to his office and he shuts the door behind her after they got in. "What's wrong?" She asks confused.

"What's this all about? I thought you were waiting to be assigned a post." Blitz says sitting down.

"You're not going to believe this." Percival says taking a seat on the couch.

"Try me." Blitz says.

Percival smirks. "The emperor called an audience with me and wanted me to shadow you."

Blitz sighs. "Have you been briefed?" Blitz asks.

Percival nods. "Yeah, you can put me under someone if you don't think I'm ready yet."

"I mean about my relationship with the emperor." Blitz says.

Percival smiles. "Ah, well yes. It's strange and surprising when I heard it."

"Ok, so is it within your duty to help expand the family line?" Blitz jokes.

Percival coughs and blushes as she looks away. "Well…"

"Ah, Percival still can't recognize I am teasing you." Blitz says.

Percival blushes even more and keeps looking away. "Dang it Blitz." She said to herself.

"So we are but to ship out. Have you told your parents your first assignment is taking you overseas?" Blitz asks.

Percival nods. "Yeah, they get it."

"Ok, so what are you really thinking about this assignment?" Blitz asks.

Percival shrugs. "Well, it might be tough and boring most of the time."

"Oh, what about when I rock your world?" Blitz jokes.

Percival eeps quietly. "Blitz." She scolds.

Blitz smirks as he gets up and goes to sit next to her. "Yes?"

Percival blushes heavily as she leans away from him. "Um…Blitz? Back off." She said pointing at him.

"I thought you were assigned to be my knight." Blitz teases, not moving towards or away from her.

Percival gulps a bit. "I am. Not your wife."

"Oh Percival. You became a good knight." Blitz says before hugging her.

Percival jumps a bit before sighing and tries to hug back. "Dang it."

Blitz smiles as he didn't do anything but hug to her confusion.

Percival raises an eyebrow as she looks to him. "You're not going to do anything?"

"Why would I? I'm no sexual offender. I do it only to those who permit it." Blitz says.

Percival blinks and gets a bit more confused. "Really?"

"Yes." Blitz says releasing her.

Percival sighs in relief. "So what do you want to do?"

"Well Cheep should have everything under control. So you should familiarize yourself with the rest of the crew." Blitz says.

Percival nods and gets up to leave. "Alright then."

"The offer is open if you want it though." Blitz says nonchalantly.

Percival eeps and groans as she blushes. "Dang it." She said to herself.

"I am completely serious about that." Blitz says.

Percival groans some more as she heads out the door.

After the door closes, Blitz sealed it close with magic and closed the blinds and whistles as he sits back on the couch. "So which one of you is going to reveal yourselves to me first? Blaze? Wind? Force?" Blitz asks.

"How did you know?" Wind asks hanging upside down.

"I can sense my three dark mares." Blitz says not looking up.

Wind chuckles. "So what are you going to do?"

"I'm waiting for you three." Blitz says tapping a hoof.

Both Blaze and Force appeared from the banisters as well. "Well?" They ask.

"Waiting here on the couch for all three of you." Blitz says not moving.

"Tease." They said.

"I know and you three prefer it when I am passed that." Blitz jokes.

They all grumble before gliding down to him. "Well?" Wind asks.

"Who wants to be first?" Blitz asks.

Blaze jumps onto his lap. "You up for a bit of clothes style?"

"Oh, that is new, but first, a few questions. What did you three get from her? She going to join eventually?" Blitz asks pulling Force and Wind closer.

Force smiles. "Well, she's flustered."

"And I know you could feel her emotions." Blitz says petting Force.

Force purrs as she moves under his hoof. "Yeah, she's really hot and bothered. She seems to like it when you talk that way to her."

"I thought so. So Wind, guess what job I have for you all week going back?" Blitz asks smirking.

Wind smirks. "Nope. Not going to play that game. Now tell me."

"Guess who is going to be manipulating a certain knight's dreams to keep turning her on." Blitz says smirking.

Wind giggles evilly. "This would be fun."

"And now did you have fun at the ball with me Blaze?" Blitz asks booping her nose with his.

Blaze sighs as she nuzzles her nose with his. "Really fun. I never danced ever."

"And now you have with me in a public event. Like a wife." Blitz whispered the last part into her ear.

Blaze giggles and kisses his cheek. "Such a cutie."

"Who, me or them?" Blitz jokes.

Blaze nuzzles him. "Who else."

"I don't know; you been eyeing the Spitfire twin's flanks." Blitz says playfully smirking.

Blaze hits his side. "Shut up."

"Oh, she didn't deny it." Force says.

Blaze smirks. "You want me to lick you?"

"Be my guest. It might turn our stallion on here." Force says.

Blaze smiles and moves over to Wind and grabs her before licking her cheek and moving closer to her mouth. "She's sweet." She said happily.

"Oh please continue, I'm enjoying the show." Blitz says stroking the third shadowbolt's flank.

Blaze giggles and keeps licking Wind's face who keeps giggling from the sensation as Force sighs in relief and leans more into his hoof. "Oh Blitzy." Force calls.

"So first one who does what I am thinking right now gets first right now." Blitz says suddenly.

Force giggles as she works herself out of her suit while the other two were engrossed with each other. "I am." She said giggling.

Blitz hums. "Close, but no."

Force slouches a bit in disappointment. "Dang it."

"I still spy underwear." Blitz says feeling her through the articles of clothing.

Force smirks then. "Oh, but that's a show. Now let's see." She said to herself as she starts trying to undress her underwear now as Wind and Blaze still hasn't stop kissing each other.

Blitz chuckles as he relaxes. "Oh yeah, this is the life." He said to himself as he pets and watches Force undress while Wind and Blaze were still going at each other, now to the point of taking each other's clothes off.

Arthur poured over the many notes he had on the names listed out from the paper Blitz gave him and found that most were low level nobles and all around the same style of job and demeanor. "Why risk for just a week long rule?" He asks the files in front of him before the door to his office starts to open and he quickly shuts the large file packet.

"Sir?" A servant asks opening the door.

Arthur sighs as he buries the packet under some other files on his desk. "Yes?" He asks the mare.

The mare clears her throat. "The carriage is ready for you."

Arthur nods. "Good. Grab some food and drinks and place it inside as it will be a long time before I come back. Give me a few minutes to prepare."

The mare nods. "Of course sir." She said before heading back out and closing the door.

Arthur sighs as he looks to the files before taking it out again and putting them into his bag. "Time to see which is which." He said to himself as he gets up and heads out.

"Okay, where do you all want to go first?" Blitz asks his family on the deck as they approach Ponyville.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!" Pinkie cheered out as she raises and shakes a leg in the air.

Blitz chuckles and points to her. "Yes…Pinkie."

Pinkie bounces over to him. "How about a party?" She cheerily asks as streamers come out from behind her and some party horns sounded.

Everyone started to agree as Blitz smiles. "Great. You can go prepare…" He stops as he sees Pinkie gone and looks down over the railings to see her hopping into SugarCube Corner. "Wow. That's fast."

Rainbow chuckles. "Pinkie has a reputation like that."

Blitz smiles. "I noticed. Now then, pack your bags and go home and freshen up. We have got a long day of fun planned from Pinkie."

"What are you going to do in the meanwhile?" Twilight asks.

"I got some work to catch up on." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Come on Blitzy. Just join us for the party. It's been a long trip."

"I am very behind at this point. I will catch up with you soon." Blitz says patting her head.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Blitz?"

"I have a job to do Twi. Also gives you time to plan." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight stares at him before smiling. "Alright, but you better deliver and visit us once done."

"And you best behave." Blitz jokes booping her nose with his hoof.

Twilight boops his nose back. "You too." She said before hugging him.

"Anyone else? I am open for showing affection." Blitz says. All three shadowbolts pounce on him and send him to the ground. "I'm still open." He calls out as everyone laughs.

"Oh and Wonderbolts, meet me in my office with the Shadowbolts." Blitz says smirking, letting them know he was up to something.

The Wonderbolts just raise an eyebrow at him. Blitz smirks as Twilight lets him go and he leads the way. They Wonderbolts just follow him as the Shadowbolts just hang onto him as much as possible to his office.

Blitz locks the door and points to the couch for the shadowbolts. They all sit down looking like angels as they smile.

The Wonderbolts sighs as they remain standing in front of his desk. "So what's the problem?" Spitfire asks.

"Not much of a problem. I just wanted to talk about my surprise at the Shadowbolts are more modest than your team." Blitz says smirking.

The Wonderbolts all blush as the Shadowbolts smirk at that. "Well…" Fleetfoot tries to say.

"So shameless." Blitz teases.

Spitfire tries to frown, but her blush and embarrassment got in the way. "Shut up."

"It feels good when he pets our flank and he traces the panties." Wind piped up from her seat while smirking.

Blitz chuckles as the Shadowbolts keep teasing.

The Wonderbolts groans and tries to hide themselves. "Shut up." Fleetfoot said.

"Also Soarin, you still want to change your coloring?" Blitz asks.

Soarin looks up a bit. "Well, sort of."

"Oh, what is that?" Blitz asks getting up and walks over to her.

Soarin clears her throat. "Maybe back to my own color." She said quietly.

"If you want it, you may have that. Just say it to me." Blitz says.

Soarin smiles. "Thanks. I would like it."

"Ok, come with me behind the blinds over there." Blitz says.

Soarin nods and follows him as the others were still being teased.

"Ok, strip please." Blitz says now out of sight of the five mares, making them stop and listen in.

Soarin gulps and steps a bit away before starting to strip away as Blitz smiles all the while. "Can you not. That's uncomfortable." She tries to say.

"What? It's not like I haven't seen you like that before a few times." Blitz jokes.

Soarin frowns a bit. "Not when you are looking at me like that."

Blitz says nothing else as he uses his magic to heat the small tub of water a bit.

Soarin sighs as she steps out of her suit. "Okay, now what?"

Blitz looks to the bottles on a stand nearby. "Now pick the colors you want. Kujenga made a few to give you some options." Blitz says.

Soarin hums as she looks them and leans close before jumping a little as Blitz was petting her flank. "Blitz."

"Don't act like you don't love my touch." Blitz says now holding her as she picks up some choices.

Soarin holds in a moan. "Don't do that." She said quickly getting in the tub and sighs in relief from the warm water.

"Soarin, you need to let them mix before you get in." Blitz says.

Soarin sighs. "Let me enjoy this." She said closing her eyes.

"Also, you are going to have to fully submerge yourself for about thirty seconds for it to fully change your coat, even the root colors." Blitz says petting the yellow mare.

Soarin hums as she leans into his petting. "Okay. I can do that."

"So what color did you choose?" Blitz asks.

Soarin shows him some blue and black coloring.

"Ah, going for dark blue huh?" Blitz asks.

Soarin nods as she still relaxes. "If you want me out, carry me." She said holding out her hooves.

"I thought you wanted your original colors?" Blitz asks.

Soarin shrugs as she relaxes. "Whatever you want then." She said dropping the bottles.

"Ok." Blitz says using his magic to grab a certain bottle and lifts Soarin out of the tub.

Soarin sighs as she rests against him. "I love this."

"Uh huh?" Blitz asks adding the contents into the tub.

Soarin sighs as she was just about to fall asleep.

"Hey, none of that." Blitz says shaking her.

Soarin hums as she tries to stay awake as Blitz places her in the water.

"You ready?" Blitz asks.

Soarin hums in agreement as she tries to relax.

"Thirty seconds." Blitz says before Soarin went under.

Spitfire peeks in a bit. "Does she want to really do this?"

"Yes, she requested this. Also you mentioned wanting to take me to meet your mother." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods. "It only makes sense for her to meet my future mate."

"Yeah, so when do I meet her and feelings about being my only yellow mare now?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire smiles. "In a bit when we're finished. And it feels nice again."

"Oh don't tell me you didn't like the threesome." Blitz teases.

Spitfire rolls her eyes. "Shut up."

"Nope." Blitz defies.

Spitfire huffs and backs off as Soarin comes back up a different color. "Finally." She said relaxing again.

"Not done yet. Your coat might be altered, but we need to do your mane next." Blitz says.

Soarin sighs. "Do whatever."

"Nothing like the tub. Just need to wrap your mane up in this towel and let the stuff soak into it for a few hours." Blitz says.

Soarin smiles as she starts to doze off again.

"So how long you think till she notices?" Blitz asks wrapping up her mane with a towel soaked into something.

Soarin shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe a few hours."

Blitz smirks as Soarin fell asleep and he takes and sets her onto a vacant couch.

Blaze smiles. "So what now?"

"Hum, what to do with the rest of you?" Blitz says playfully while thinking.

The Shadowbolts smirk and the Wonderbolts sweat a little.

"So how is your game going?" Blitz asks doing paperwork with Cheep.

Spitfire smiles. "Well, we are beating the 'modest' crew." She said playfully glaring to the Shadowbolts on the ceiling boards.

"Don't be so sure about that." Blaze says.

Fleetfoot smirks. "Please. You can't go far without getting onto Blitz or any other stallion."

"Then why are you about to get eliminated in this round?" Wind asks as Soarin keeps sleeping.

Spitfire just throws some balled up paper at her and bonks it off her head.

Blitz chuckles. "And this is why I love you girls."

"I thought because all of us were sexy." Force says.

Blitz grins. "Actually that is another quirk. But I like personality the best."

"Oh then…" Force was cut off by Blitz.

"Don't even think about starting the whole who do you like best." Blitz says.

Force smiles along with the rest. "Wow. You really are a good hubby."

"You are not the only ones who can anticipate others…speaking of which." Blitz says taking out a paper from his desk that has those not allowed in the Raven and adds Shining Armor's name.

Fleetfoot smiles. "So…when are you going to join the others?"

"The party isn't for a while." Blitz says.

Shining Armor glared as he finally arrived on the Raven and was about to head in when some of the Raven guards crossed their spears in front of him.

Shining glares at them and shows a paper. "Warrant. Now get out of my way and if you try different…" Shining stopped when one of the spears was right under his chin.

"Leave now or we will attack for you are trespassing." The guard warns.

Shining keeps glaring. "I have a warrant for an arrest. Now let me through."

"No, not without written authorization by both princesses. Now leave before we charge you with trespassing and breaking and entering as guildmaster has a restraining order against you." The guard says.

Shining raises an eyebrow. "Who says I need the authorization of both the princesses? I just need the attorney general."

"A contract with the princesses made when they were allowed to send ponies to study the Raven." The guard says before whistling and several more diamond dogs come out with weapons.

Shining huffs and walks off. "Pretentious bastards."

Author's Notes:

Flair: well may not be as long as usual, but we are trying something new here.

Yeah, might not have gone as planned in the beginning, but it is turning out in some way.

Flair: That's the creative process and seriously Armor, you accused someone out of the country at the time of murder.

"There are extradition acts."

Flair: Uh huh and your corrupt obviously. No wonder Chrysalis went for you.

"Hey! She went for my shield spell! Nothing else!"

Flair: Uh huh, sure, keep telling yourself that. We all know what's up Mr. never tell your sister you are dating till the wedding and by an invitation.

"She had to be protected!"

Flair: Yeah, from you.

"Oh just shut up!"

Mute. Shall we move on to our new project?

Flair: He annoying you enough to switch him out with Gleaming Shield yet?

Nah, he's not hot enough or good enough for anypony. Not even Cadance's male side which I have to admit, why didn't she change to him yet?

Flair: Oh you didn't know?

What?

Flair: Um where do you think Cadance has been for most of this?

You have to be kidding me.

Flair: nope she is getting her lesbian on with Gleaming. I guess she wanted someone who would satisfy her.

Can leave this yelling bastard yet? *Pointing to Shining yelling with no sound coming out*

Flair: *Stares at Shining for a while* maybe.

RWBY?

Flair: Sure.
