I stood with a cold, hard gaze as a snow storm bellowed around me. I was wearing my crown and my other silver regalia with a white, fur cloak keeping me warm. To my right was Azrael, my fake angel wearing her silver armor hand forged by Princess Luna herself. She wore a bored expression, as her right hand rested on her hip with her left holding a blade that looked like Zangetsu, over her shoulder. To my left was Princess Luna in her black armor, with her scythe, Nocturnus on her back.

We all stood before a group of ponies standing beside giant, wooden crosses in chains, shivering and very much afraid. Today was the day that they will all march out of the castle, down the main street of Silent Hill, and down the road to the border, where their execution can begin. In the courtyard with us, that stood around the prisoners were my guards in their colors.

The Black Knights stood tall around me and my companions in their black and blue armor. The Dragon Guard, slightly cold from the weather, was waiting in their silver and blue armor at opposite ends in front of me at the ready. The Divine Guard, my archmages, wearing cloaks that were reminiscent of the Spektar Haliaetus Robes. They stood closest to the prisoners to make sure that they didn't break out of their bonds. Standing with the Divine Guard was the Wolf Guard and Shadow Guard. The cats and dogs that specialize in speed and strength, a perfect compliment to the Unicorn and Faunus of the Divine Guard. The Dawn Guard, and Dusk Guard—The two regular guard deployments that have everyone that didn't make the cut in training for one of the five specials. They stood at the ready to guide the prisoners to their deaths.

I shuddered slightly as the snow began to obscure my vision. It wasn't the ideal day for an execution. It was a perfect day. The cold wind that had a nasty bite would force the prisoners to keep moving otherwise they would die from frostbite. The snow was piling high from the natural storm and the best part for the torment that they would have to face, was the fact that they wouldn't have any protection from the weather.

Luna didn't like the fact that they were going to die today. The fact that she tried to protect them with her scythe made it quite clear of her feelings about Capital Punishment, however. When I gave her the ultimatum of keeping serial killers alive. She laid down her scythe and moved aside.

Both of them shivered slightly as a pony walked up to us with a microphone and a scroll in his telekinesis. I gave the stallion a quick nod, giving him the go-ahead to begin the execution. He quickly introduced us and invited me to take the mic. With a deep breath, I hardened my gaze and spoke with as much authorata as I could with my cute voice.

“The individuals gathered today are traitors of Arcadia! They all have shown the world of the lengths that they would go through to destroy peace and prosperity within our young nation,” I yelled into a microphone for everyone to hear as all my guards cheered for what was about to come. “They and everyone else in the world knows of their crimes and have been proven guilty to all of them. For such actions against the life of every man, woman, and child from all races that reside in Arcadia. They shall receive the harshest punishment," I paused to add effect.

"Death by Crucifixion!”

"What?!" all the prisoners yelled in unison while all my guards banged their weapons in approval.

"Guards! Begin the march!" I ordered before the prisoners could complain anymore.

I watched with malicious glee as all forty-five ponies in chains grab hold of their crosses as the Divine guard cast several spells to prevent them from speaking, and threatened them with fire if they didn't do what they were told to do. As much as I would love to hear them grunt and scream in pain from the two hundred kilometer journey ahead of them. They can say their final words while hanging from spikes on their wooden death devices.

An invisible figure ran through a blinding blizzard through a thick forest in Arcadia's countryside. Her breaths were hoarse and shallow from running through mounds of snow that came up to her waist, but it didn't hinder her speed. It couldn't, for if it did. She would be too late from saving her Master from the forces that are waiting for her arrival. She gripped her black Tanto as she jumped over a fallen log that was in her way, and unsheathed the black blade as she landed on an unsuspecting pony in gold armor, hiding behind a bush.

With expert silence from millennia worth of practice in the art of assassination, she plunged her blade into the throat of the pony that was looking through a pair white binoculars.

The stallion didn't make a noise as she pulled the blade out of his throat, causing his blood to squirt like a fountain onto the pure white snow. She quickly buried his body before she ran to her next target that was waiting with a sniper rifle to kill the young Empress as she marches behind prisoners walking to their execution—Wearing their own crosses on their backs.

She gritted her teeth as her paws were going numb from running on ice without protection for the past few days. With a grunt, she bolted to the next position where the sniper was hiding while keeping an eye out on the caravan of guards that were taking care of her master. She bolted as fast as she could, keeping in mind of the dark blue alicorn watching her every move with defensive curiosity.

She growled slightly at herself as she jumped into the trees and hopped from branch to branch. She didn't think that the Alicorn could find her so easily when she was cloaked with the strongest invisibility spell at her disposal. No creature in her travels has ever found her when she was in the Aether, a land between life and death. The only way that the Alicorn could possibly see her was if she knew of the Aether where nightmares and dreams run freely from their creators. If that was the case, then she made sure to be careful if she ever had to fight the Alicorn for her Master.

With the thoughts of having to fight what was considered a God in this world at the back of her mind, she found her last target hiding in a thicket of brambles. She landed on the prone body that was aiming down the scope of his rifle with her tanto in hand. The golden armored pony didn't feel her land on his back, as it was impossible to feel something in the Aether. She cracked a weak smile as she lowered her blade to his throat, and before he could pull the trigger. She slit his jugular, killing him in mere seconds in a bloody mess.

With sighed of relief that her master was going to live through the execution of the traitors, she continued to follow from afar, waiting for the perfect opportunity to meet Empress Rose and be her loyal slave for the rest of time.

"There is a being lurking in the forest," Luna said with concern. Azrael and I both looked where she was looking at in the forest, but neither of us could see anything out of the ordinary.

"Are you sure?" Azrael asked with a raised brow, not believing in what Luna was saying.

"I am sure, Azrael. This being is hiding with a spell that feels like, Aether walking. An extremely advanced invisibility spell that only a shadow mage could do," Luna replied, causing me to go into defense mode.

"Is he a threat?" I asked as I turned on Air Sight. Luna just frowned at the question and shook her head.

"No, he has killed several snipers that were hiding the forest since we entered the final lengths of our journey. It is like he is protecting us, but I do believe that once this person reveals himself. I can safely assume that he will ask for payment for his deeds," Luna huffed.

"Well, that's a relief," I groaned as I turned off my Air Sight.

"How is that a relief? Shadow Mages are some of the worst assholes to make deals with," Azrael said. I just shrugged with a "Meh," making a note to make sure to get betrayed from the guy that save my life. Then again, a life debt is something that I don't want to deal with period.

The rest of the trip was silent for the most part. None of the prisoners keeled over and died from the day long trip march to the border. It was quite surprising to watch them all grunt through the blizzard with a grain of salt as we walked. I didn't think that we would make in just a day. Then again, I didn't think that we would have a shadow following us either.

Luna made the odd comment about what the shadow was doing as he hid from us in the forest to the east. I had to wonder what this person game was: Was he after money? Gold? Or an opportunity to gain my trust, just so he could kill me in my sleep? In any case, once this person shows himself to me, I have to make sure to keep him at a distance. Having a Shadow Mage that was capable to Aether Walk was an enemy far worse than what Celestia's Black Ops could do. Just thinking about what this guy was capable of made me hold onto my two, black, Desert Eagles with a silver dragon inlay along the barrels, close with my wings.

We came up to the location of the execution. It was a big, open field with a small hill that was right in the middle of the border. A few of my guards flew ahead to the already dug holes where the crosses would go and got ready to hammer the giant nails into the hooves of the prisoners.

Luna, Azrael, and I watched patiently as everyone got into position for the execution. All of us took notice of the encampment to the east on the Equestrian side of the border. I cracked a gleeful smile as I saw Celestia's Royal Guard come out of their tents to see what we were about to do. Many of them were cold, tired and confused as the prisoners were tied down one-by-one to the crosses that they carried. Once everything was ready, and with the audience looking at us with curiosity. I gave the order to start the execution.

Luna covered her ears and hid her face behind her wings as the screams of the prisoners echoed throughout the valley. Azrael just stood there with a dark smile on her face as; pony-after-pony was raised into the air—Impaled on their crosses, in full view to the horrified Royal Guards. I could see that they wanted to rush in and help, and one of them did so.

I watched with curiosity as a Guard in golden armor rush to come and save the prisoners from their torment, but it was fruitless. Without notice, my shadow finally revealed herself by killing the guard and dicing him into a million pieces. 'Fucking idiot, he could have started a war right then and there if he passed the border,' I thought as his comrades vomited to the sight of minced metal, and flesh in the snow.

I raised a brow as the shadow walked up to me as the last prisoner was lifted up on his cross. The three-foot tall cat girl that walked up to me wearing a black mini skirt that barely covered her pink G-string. She also wore a white dress shirt with a black tie. Around her neck was a thick, black collar, with a gold, oversized buckle. Her fur was as white as the snow around us, making it almost impossible to see her if it wasn't for the black that she was wearing. She had short silver hair that barely covered her right eye in a very cute way with her big and insanely adorable cat ears poking out. She looked like a completely normal Khajiit, but there was something wrong with her silver eyes. I don't think that most people would notice it, but her eyes have hundreds of magic runes in the pupil. If that wasn't an indication that she wasn't normal, then her black Tanto that was holstered on her back, was.

Luna, Azrael, and my guards all had their weapons out and pointed at the Kitten that eviscerated a soldier like a paper shredder. The Kitten wasn't even phased by this as she stood a few feet away from me, as I heard a guard say the last rights to the screaming prisoners before they were taken out of their misery. I watched the Kitten carefully as she sheathed her Tanto, and prepared an Air Blade in case she did anything funny.

Which she did.

All of us stared in confusion as she pulled out a little whiteboard and marker from out of nowhere, and began writing on it. It was at this moment that I quickly realized that she was a mute, and even cuter than she already was. I could see Azrael trying her best not to coo at how cute the Kitten of Death was, but it was a losing battle. She turned the whiteboard around with a proud smile that made some of my guards faint from the cuteness, showing us what she wrote.

Hello! My name is, Wolhana. I am here before you to pledge my undying loyalty to the one who bears the purest crown. I have served many kings and queens with my blade, magic, and body. I would be most honored to be your blade, your sorcerer, your pet of pleasure my master, Empress Rose. All I ask of you in return is your strong heart and keen mind.

I also like chocolate.

I finished reading what she wrote even more confused than before. Luna shared my confusion as she and everyone else put away their weapons and got ready to return to the castle. We both looked at each other, wondering what to do with the shivering Kitten that may or may not have a serious submission fetish, and began talking to each other through our Telepathy link.

“What do you think, Luna? What does the scanner say about her power level?” I asked via our telepathy link.

“It's over 9000! But joking aside. We need to be serious,” she replied.

“Well—Is she safe?” I asked again.

“She is judging from her memories, but I should warn you about giving her chocolate,” she said with slight worry as I watched Azrael scratch Wolhana’s ears.

“And what would that be?”

“I suggest talking to your mare-friend about adding the Faunus Kitten to your herd. She won't stop trying to get into your pantsu if you give her chocolate,” she replied.

“That's good to know,” I sighed as I watched my guards get back into formation. “Oh, and Luna?”

“Yes?”

“Just so you know. I expect a blow job from you whenever I want, when I want, and how long I want from you.”

“What!? Why?” she asked out loud with a blush, causing everyone to turn and stare at her.

“Because you went against my orders about the Nobility, that's why,” I replied with a smile, causing everyone to tilt their heads in even more confusion.

“D-Do I have to?” she stutter-blushed.

‘Holy shit. I didn't think she would actually consider it,’ I thought with wide eyes before I took this opportunity to get free kitten lickings from the Goddess of the Moon.

“Yes. Yes, you do.” Her blush deepened as she held back her wing boner. I turned back to Wolhana, who was still waiting patiently for my answer to her request. I quickly thought about the pros and cons of having her as my assassin and the pro's proved to be more vital in the long run with her Shadow Magic.

“Wolhana, I would love to be your retainer, if you would have me as one,” I said with a smile. She smiled back and gave me a cute leap of joy before Luna spoke again.

“I...I will accept my punishment, but can I ask you to keep it private?” she asked sheepishly.

All I could do was stare at her for actually thinking that I was serious, and replied to her again before we left back to the castle with a new member to the dream team.

“Suuuuuure.”
