Remorel awoke to Celestia's snoring, and partially due to her involuntary action of raising the sun. It surprised Remorel how she can move the sun while asleep.

'Seems I still have much to learn about magic...'

Remorel moved Celestia gently off his chest, her drool puddle dissipating with a snap of his fingers. He moved out of the bed and put his armor back on, each peace fitting securely on his fake, magic held body.

Remorel sighed as he remembered why he has a fake body, possession for more than a six million year span can decay a body so fragile, obviously.

*snort*

He looked back at Celestia, who was starting to wake from her nightly slumber.

She stretched and looked around, some of her hair was sticking up cutely, for some reason not flowing like it should.

Celestia looked at Remorel with half lidded eyes, still trying to wake from her needed sleep.

She yawned "Hello Remorel...how did you get here..?"

'..She doesn't remember asking me to sleep with her?' Remorel wondered.

"I slept with you, don't you remember asking me too?"

Her eyes opened fully, a huge blush on her face. Yet she remained calm.

"Y-yeah, I remember..." She quietly said.

Remorel chuckled "Never seen a pony drool that much over me before..."

Celestia's face could never be redder, it was almost looking at lava. And speaking of lava, he could feel the heat from where he was.

"T-tell my sister I'll be out in a bit, I-I need to clean myself up..." She looked at her stiff hair, Remorel looking at her in amusement.

"Aye princess, see you in a bit." Remorel exits her room, closing the door behind him.

Before he could walk down the hallway, he could hear Celestia speak under her breath "Now I need to change the sheets...why am I so wet?"

Remorel walked quickly down the hallway, not wanting to hear anymore of Celestia's...issues.

--------

Luna and Remorel sat at the large dining room table with some plates stacked high with pancakes.

Remorel gawked at the amount, while Luna stared with a big ass smile on her face.

No sign of Celestia, what was taking her so long?

Then, the doors opened. Revealing a now wide awake Celestia.

Although when she walked past Remorel, he could smell sweat and musk.

It was....enticing for some reason...

'Why am I blushing? Why do I feel excited?' Remorel questioned himself while Luna started devouring her plate of fluffy pancakes. Celestia took a small amount to start and sat down, eating each pancake slowly for taste.

Remorel brushed it off as he also started eating his breakfast, each bite better than the last. He poured some syrup on one of the delicious, fluffy, orange batter. When he took a bite, it was like tasting gods home cooked breakfast.

-----

Half an hour later, and Remorel was full. For the first time in his eternal life...he was stuffed. And he loved it.

Luna was also enjoying her aftermath of the pancakes, her body leaned against the chair she was sitting in as she groaned in delight.

Celestia, was a clean one. She ate slow and steady, not overfilling herself like Remorel or Luna. She finished later than the other two, and patted her mouth with a napkin and sighed in appreciation for the breakfast.

She then spoke up, breaking the elongated silence.

"So Remorel, do you have any plans for today?" She asked a little quickly.

"No, I don't believe so. I haven't had the chance to actually relax in a while either. So the decision falls on you Celestia."

Celestia thought for a moment, then got an idea.

"I just realized I need to check up on twilight to see how Starlight Glimmer is doing with her friendship lessons. If you want, you can come with me and Luna." Celestia offered, Luna looking at Remorel expectantly.

"Sure, I need to get accustomed to the other ponies outside of Canterlot anyways."

Luna silently said "Yay" under her breath, but Remorel heard it easily. Celestia must have ignored it, seeing as she didn't even blink an eye.

"We leave in a few minutes. Luna, lets go prep our chariot."

Celestia got up from her seat and walked out of the room, Luna following suit.

Remorel had some time for himself, so he thought.

And thought...

He knows Dunmer, he will need to be on guard for the rest of the day. Or however long this is going to take.

Remorel suspected an attack, three princesses, and him. All conveniently in one place. It's a juicy opportunity.

He summoned his sword and inspected it, the magic in it is almost restored. If he had to fight, he can.

He sheathed it in the air, making it disappear from view.

Remorel walked into the hallway, and approached the chariot ready to take him, and the princesses to Ponyville.

----

The trip was uneventful, except when Celestia teased Luna on why she ate so many pancakes. Remorel had to give it to Celestia, she was a sneaky bugger.

The ponies at Ponyville, they were very welcoming. At first glance.

Remorel noticed after Celestia or Luna stopped looking at them, they would stare directly at Remorel.

Fear. That was the only emotion he felt from them.

They approached a crystal tree. Well to Remorel, that's what it looked like first glance.

Luna explained how Twilight became princess, and how her library used to be a hallow tree. It made sense in a way.

Twilight and her friends were already in the castle, all sitting at a crystal table with chairs to mach. Each chair having their respected "Marks" as Remorel called them above them.

Even they were weary of Remorel...

But, Celestia and Luna knew this, and stayed on each side of Remorel, both flanks of him being covered.

They sat at the table, Celestia was the first to speak.

"As you all know, the attack on Hallow Shades was nothing than an act of aggression and an act of violence. Remorel and my sister were there to asses the damage and bring back any refugees to Canterlot. The damage that was caused was tragic, and the death's were heartbreaking, many were young foals. But, they did there best to bring back over half the populace back to Canterlot safely."

She then whispered "Even though the airship was destroyed by our own idiocy..."

She continued "I feel that we need to defend other cities, towns, and villages from these monsters. We cannot let loose to what happened to Hallow Shades again. That is something that cannot ever happen again."

All the ponies nodded in agreement.

"So we ask the six of you to defend Ponyville at all costs. And remember, this isn't one enemy, it's an army. And they are more experienced in combat than the Changelings. So be on guard."

Celestia then looked directly at Twilight "Assemble your guards, have them patrol Ponyville, and have them report of any movement that comes from any direction."

Twilight nodded "Captain!"

A young but strong stallion guard rushes in "Yes my highness!"

"Assemble a battalion to patrol Ponyville at once! Report any movement that is not of our nature, that includes the Everfree Forest." Twilight ordered.

"Yes my princess!" He saluted then rushed out of the room, him shouting orders as more hoof steps can be heard.

Then, from the same direction the Captain came, a gold platted guard fly's in a rush. And bows quickly to Celestia.

"P-princess! I have come in order of the Canterlot Guard! Canterlot has been attacked!"

Luna, Celestia, and all the other ponies in the room gasped.

For once, Celestia broke her mask.

"We need to return to Canterlot! Twilight, stay here and make preparations!"

Twilight gave a determined nod, and so did her friends.

Celestia then teleported Luna and Remorel back to the castle, the chariot to slow for this emergency.

-----

It. Was. A. Bloodbath...

The streets were almost completely covered in blood, some pony some Undead. It angered Remorel, how the hell did they manage to hit the capitol...?

Celestia found several ponies and ordered them to find more, the bat pony refugees were scattered across the city.

The castle was bombarded, the glass stained windows broken and covered in blood.

Luna went with Remorel as Celestia tried to find more ponies. The market district was their first stop.

It was eerily empty, no blood either. Only scorch marks and a light fog from the smoke.

Remorel had his sword drawn, Luna had her horn glowing to detect anything that moves. And yet, she couldn't find anything.

Then Remorel heard sobbing, in a familiar voice. A young voice...

Remorel rushed to the voice, his heart racing with his own fear. Luna was right behind him the entire time.

As he approached the sobbing, he can finally see some blood. It didn't make him feel any better in the slightest.

He moved around the corner, and his heart broke.

Shadow was laying on her side, her body was covered in blood. She had an open wound the size of an acorn in her belly.

Remorel rushed to her, Luna beside Shadow, inspecting the wound.

Remorel held her, his tears black, the first time he has ever cried in a millennia.

She looked up at him, her eyes were filled with utter sadness and pain.

"Luna...what can you do?" Remorel didn't look up at her when he asked.

Luna didn't speak for a second, the in soft words she spoke "Her wound is to severe...magic can only do so much as you may know..."

Remorel couldn't take it, but he knew what to do, it is his duty as Death.

"R-remorel...please...find mommy..." She smiled, her tears still falling.

Remorel cried back, his black tears dripped on her coat. Her eyes were starting to fade.

She lost focus, and Remorel couldn't feel her sobbing anymore.

Shadow died in Death's arms. And Remorel didn't know what to think.

Luna watched in sadness, her tears stained her cheeks.

But Luna noticed Remorel's silence, the mood in the air changed dramatically.

"I'm going to find him...and I'm going to make his blood fall like rain..." Remorel said in a steady voice.

Luna didn't like his voice, it had the murderous tone to it.

Remorel continued to walk in the market, Luna now farther behind him than before.

It actually hurt to end Shadows life there...but the story continues.
