Sky sighs as he sits in front of Raven, waiting for her to come out of her meditations.

"Yes?" Raven asks distinctly.

"You felt it, didn't you?" Sky asks.

"Control those emotions." Raven advises.

"It is hard. So how are you?" Sky asks.

"Fine." Raven says still meditating.

"So we have been married for over a year now…would you like to go out and do something?" Sky asks awkwardly.

"Do what?" Raven asks opening an eye toward him.

"Anything really to just spend time together." Sky offers.

Raven sighs and comes out of her meditation and stands up. "Where?"

"Anywhere, as long as you get enjoyment out of it." Sky says.

Raven blinks. "I do not know where to go."

"Well, we don't really need to go anywhere. We can just remain here and talk and drink tea." Sky offers.

"That would be fine." Raven said looking around for something to help that along.

"I will be like back with the tea." Sky says getting up.

Raven nods and sits down as she waits as he walks out.

Sky returned several minutes later with a tray with a kettle, cups, and the stuff to make tea.

Raven watches as he sets the tray down and starts to make tea. "Do you do this with everypony?"

"No. Most around here either don't like or don't want to try it." Sky says.

"And you?" Raven asks as he waits for it to boil a bit.

"Well, I haven't drunk much of it before." Sky says.

"And now?" Raven asks as he pours her a cup and she takes it.

"How do you feel about our marriage?" Sky asks.

"Fine." Raven said sipping the tea.

"Anything you want to talk about? Any wants or needs?" Sky asks.

"No." Raven said as she blushes.

"I mean anything like a book, furniture, anything?" Sky asks.

Raven shakes her head.

"Any feelings you have developed for me?" Sky asks.

"Somewhat." Raven says looking him over.

"Tell me about them." Sky says.

"Well…you tend to make me feel warm when you're around." Raven says looking away.

Sky, hearing that, sets down his cup and gets up to walk beside of her.

Raven gulps and blushes as she kept looking away. "And you have this smile that…makes me feel at ease."

"It's call love." Sky says laying beside of her.

"Love?" Raven asks looking to him.

"It's an emotion." Sky says.

"It doesn't hurt?" Raven asks looking him over still.

"It can say if someone you love is killed." Sky informs.

"Will you?" Raven asks looking closely at him.

"All life eventually dies." Sky says leaning against her.

"And will you be hurt?" Raven asks trying to copy him.

"It may hurt a…" Sky stopped when a mirror Raven had glowed white and next thing Sky saw all white.

Sky groans and rubs his head. "What happened?" Sky asks getting up and sees he is on a floating platform in the middle of what looks like an expanse of nothingness. "Ok." Sky says confused looking around. "This is weird and…most likely has to do somehow with magic." Sky says as a path forms from rocks that appear from nowhere. "I can either stay here or continue onwards." Sky says before fiddling with his clothes before bringing out a gold piece and flips it.

Sky watches it as it flips before landing back on his hoof. "To the rocks." He declares walking on putting the coin back into his clothing. Sky walked for what felt like hours around the spiraling path. The path kept ever changing and with no other landmarks and the constant disappearing off the path behind him, he couldn't tell if he had made any real progress.

"Hello, there!" A peppy voice calls behind him and Sky jumps as he yelps.

Sky lands and looks behind him to see Raven in a pink version of her outfit. "Raven?"

Raven grins and waves. "Hi!" She yells happily.

"You seem more upbeat." Sky says taking note of the different color of her outfit.

"I'm always upbeat." Raven said giggling.

"Uh huh…why are you wearing pink?" Sky asks confused.

"Because I love pink." Raven said laughing and hugging him. "Hugs!"

"Note to self, find a pink gift for Raven." Sky says.

Raven still giggles. "You're soft."

"You have never been this clingy." Sky says confused.

"Because I love you." Raven said before giggling as she kept holding him.

"Raven, where are we?" Sky asks looking around.

"My head." Raven said grinning.

"…run that by me again." Sky requests as he felt her grip disappear. Looking around, he found himself alone. "What the heck?" Sky asks himself as he looks around before shrugging and continues walking as it was the only thing he could do.

Sky raises an eyebrow as he reaches another area and sees an archway. "Huh." He says to himself as it seems that it was the only way and kept walking. "Wonder what is this place?" He asks himself as he goes under the arch and stops as the scene changes to a messy bedroom. "Wha…?" He stops as he hears a yawn and looks to see an orange cloaked Raven lying in bed. "Um…"

"Raven?" Sky asks.

Raven yawns again. "Let me sleep."

"Wouldn't you be more comfortable on the bed?" Sky asks.

Raven rolls over on her side. "Too tired."

"Let me then." Sky says reaching down and picks her up.

Raven groans and closes her eyes. "Sleepily time."

"Rest well my wife." Sky says laying her on the bed.

Raven moans and rolls over on the bed as she starts to snore.

Sky, seeing this, spies an arch like what he entered to get here and walks to it and the bedroom disappears back to where he was before.

"Strange." He says to himself as he continues walking. As he walked, he looked more desperately for anything that could be a landmark when suddenly a few walls rose out of the rocks around him and a statue holding multiple weapons appeared. "Crap." He says to himself as it came at him with raised weapons and he readies himself to fight.

The statue suddenly started moving faster than he had anticipated, hitting him with a hammer it was wielding, sending him slamming into the wall.

"Ow." Sky groans as he falls onto the ground.

"Yo, stone head! Back off!" Raven's voice calls.

Sky looks up and sees a green cloaked Raven kicking a statue in the face and smashes it and sends it to the ground. "What is going on?"

Raven didn't respond and with a great nimbleness he didn't know she had, dodged it attacks before jumping up and dropkicks it, making it start to crack up.

Sky blinks confused as the statue breaks apart and she starts jumping around. "That was awesome!" She yells happily.

"Um…Raven?" Sky asks deeply confused.

Raven looks over and smiles and wave. "Yo! What's up?!"

"A headache. That thing got me right in the head." Sky says rubbing his head.

"Aw. Well, get back up. You're fine." She said clapping her hooves.

"Raven, are you wearing green or did that thing hit me harder than I thought?" Sky asks rubbing his head.

Raven smiles as she leans down to him. "Cute."

"And the swirling spots?" Sky asks.

Raven hums. "That's a concussion talking."

"Great." Sky says letting gravity make him fall onto his back.

Raven shakes her head. "Still a great stallion."

"…you have never called me that before or is that the concussion again?" Sky asks as he feels hooves grab hold of him.

"Relax. Just rest up." He hears.

"Is he ok?" A more timid voice asks.

"Fine."

Sky open his eyes to see a second Raven, only wearing gray. "R…Raven, am I seeing double?"

"Nope." The green one said.

"Explain pl…" Sky stops seeing the pink one from earlier.

"Is he okay?" She asks.

"He is fine Happy." Green Raven says.

"Oh good, because Raven would be mad at us if she found her husband hurt." The pink one says.

"Happy…Timid…Bravery?" Sky asks.

"Got it in one." Happy said grinning.

"So I am…" Sky started but a new Raven cut him off.

"In my mind." A Raven in blue says landing.

"Ah…my Raven." Sky says happily.

"What happened?" Raven asked looking to Bravery.

"He got smashed into a wall." Bravery said chuckling.

"By?" Raven asked, her displeasure clearly evident on her face.

"A stone warrior." Bravery said chuckling.

"This one?" Raven asks her attention now on the head of the destroyed statue.

"Yep. Kicked it's ass, though." Bravery said grinning.

Raven nodded before using her magic to obliterate the head from her mind.

Sky blinks. "More of you…more fun." He said lost as he laughs.

"Why are none of you trying to heal him?" Raven inquired.

"On it." Happy said going to him and starts to check his head with magic.

"Raven, question." Sky voiced.

"Yes?" They all ask.

"What does red represent to you and why does she have four eyes and is smirking?" Sky asks.

"She likes to be angry." Raven says.

"Oh…is she getting bigger?" Sky asks.

They all look behind them to see red growing in size. "Crap." Happy said.

"That isn't good, is it?" Sky asks.

"No. It isn't lover boy." A new raven in purple says.

Sky blinks. "Oh great. Another…how many emotions are there?"

"We have every color of the rainbow" Happy says.

"Pink isn't in the rainbow." Sky says.

"It's in the middle." Happy said grinning.

"No. It's…" Sky stopped as red energy beams started flying everywhere.

"Oh. Red's making a magic show." Happy said jumping in place.

"She is destroying everything again." The purple raven says.

"Stop her. I'll stay with Sky here." Raven said frowning.

"No. Go on. I got our husband." The purple one says grabbing and holding Sky.

"Don't mess with him passion. He has a concussion." Happy said waving a hoof at her.

"Red is looking at us." Sky informs.

They then to see Red leaning close and glaring at them with all four eyes.

"She's getting ready to fire." Happy calls.

Passion grabs Sky and carries him off as the others gather in the same spot and gets ready for anything.

"So…you are love?" Sky asks.

"Yep." Passion says happily.

"And you have never been as strong and Raven never tried to keep you in check?" Sky asks.

"With you around, no." Passion said smiling.

"So why is rage so strong?" Sky asks.

"We have father issues, to say the least." Passion says as Happy flew past.

"How bad?" Sky asks.

"Um…bad enough to be able to split into two it seems." Passion says as a second red Raven appeared in front of them, making her skid to a halt.

Sky blinks at the new red. "Um…is she still Raven?"

"Give me him." Rage demands.

Sky sighs. "Mine!" Passion yells holding Sky protectively.

Sky blinks and looks to her. "Let me go."

"No, I want him." Rage says grabbing a part of him and gets ready to blast Passion.

"Ow!" Sky yells and makes them stop. "Okay. Both of you…drop…me…" He orders.

"Back off Passion." Rage says before blasting her away making her let go of Sky.

"Ow." Sky grunts as he falls and is dragged away. "Do you do angry sex?"

"Quiet you." Rage growls.

"But Raven, I am your husband. I am supposed to talk to you and make you happy…you mind going slower and being more careful. I do have a concussion remember." Sky reminds.

Rage just drags him slower.

"So Passion told me you have father issues. How much of a piece of shit was he?" Sky asks trying to get a laugh.

"Very." Rage growls.

"Tell me about it. I am willing to listen and be here for you." Sky offers.

"Doesn't matter." Rage growls.

"It does because it upsets and hurts you. I love you Raven. I want to be there for you." Sky says tenderly.

Rage huffs and looks to him as she kept dragging him.

Sky, seeing this, reaches up and strokes her cheek.

Rage stops in place as she looks to his hoof. "What…are you doing?"

"Showing I care for you." Sky informs.

Rage kept still as he kept stroking her cheek.

"Just lay here with me alright?" Sky requests.

Rage slowly let's go of him and lays down with him.

"I love you Raven. No matter what emotion you are." Sky says wrapping her in a hug as he noticed the sounds of the battle stop.

Rage blinks and slowly leans into the stroking and nuzzles his hoof.

Soon Raven arrived to find Sky asleep with Rage snuggling in his hooves.

"Okay, this is a new one." Happy said leaning over.

"Heal him." Raven growled to her.

Happy sighs and skips over to them and starts to heal Sky as they both slept quietly.

"Raven?" Sky asks getting up.

"Here. You accidentally got into my mind." Raven admits as he tries to get his bearings.

"So I did get smacked around by a statue and got your rage to calm down?" Sky asks.

"Yes…no one has done that." Raven says watching him.

"Well, you do love me. So she cut me some slack." Sky says

Raven stares at him all the while.

"Am I right?" Sky asks.

"Yes." Raven says raising an eyebrow.

"I feel better now." Sky says laying against her again.

"How did you control them?" Raven suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Sky asks.

"How do you control the tribes from not attacking?" Raven asks watching him.

"Oh, that. When I took over all the tribes, I made this argument. Sure we may get richer from raiding others, but this is only a temporary fix. It isn't a constant source of income and we lose warriors no matter the result. Warriors that can have better uses later. Trade, craft, and farming are our true source of income and with them, over time, we gain much more with lesser cost to our warriors." Sky says.

"You are wild." Raven said tilting her head.

"Well, it worked as now they all fully know my ambition and our income from the territory we have taken is constant because it was never pillaged or razed." Sky informs.

"Good." Raven simply said.

"I like to fight a war effectively. Razing and pillaging only hurt the ones who conquer the land in the future. So now Raven, do you feel more comfortable to discuss yourself?" Sky asks.

Raven stares at him before slowly nodding.
