Author's Notes:

Sorry this took a while, World of Tanks had a new AMX challenge and I had to jump at that opportunity. I will also say sorry for the short chapter, but don't worry, it was just a filler.

Luna and Celestia brought Remorel to the main hall, where most of the staff have breaks and chat. Although it was Wednesday, so not many ponies are here since it gets very busy around the middle of the week.

That doesn't mean nopony was there. The royal blacksmith, Ironclad, and one of the bat pony guards, Starfury, were the only ones in the room. They appear to be chatting about Starfury's armor, which has a really deep scratch in it.

The princesses thought it would be funny to scare them, so they decided to let Remorel go invisible and make him wait until they gave "the signal".

They didn't even notice the princesses walk in.

"Hello Starfury, Ironclad." Celestia said with a warm smile.

Both of them instantly froze, and bowed.

"Greetings your highnesses, what brings you to the mess hall?" Starfury asked.

"We wanted to introduce a friend to some of the staff so they get comfortable with him. But it seems you two get the privilege of meeting him privately." Luna said.

'That must be my queue' Remorel thought.

As Starfury and Ironclad rose from the ground, Remorel disabled is invisibility. A dark shadow loomed over them both.

When they looked up, all the color from both of there faces drained. And Remorel just looked down with his pitch black face.

"I-is this...him?" Starfury asked, her voice trembling.

"Yep! And don't be shy, he won't bite." Luna said with a soft smile.

They both looked up.

Remorel's hood still hid his face. Making an ominous void.

Suddenly, he flicked his eyes white, causing both of them to jump into each other.

"H-he-he-he seems nice...." Starfury said snakingly in Ironclad's arms.

They both looked at each other and got off of each other.

Celestia and Luna chuckled.

"I thought the Royal Guard generals trained you not to fear?" Luna mockingly said to Starfury.

"I-I wasn't scared! Just startled...." Starfury whispered the last part.

"And Ironclad, you seem to be the kind of stallion who doesn't get scared easily." Celestia said as she poked his side.

"I-I didn't say I was invincible!" He stuttered out.

Remorel was confused. But kept his mouth shut.

'It sounded like mockery, but why are these two laughing it off?'

Sure enough, all four of them were laughing together.

'I...I don't understand. But I shouldn't bother them about it.'

They all calmed down and eventually Celestia came up with an idea.

"Hey Remorel, you said you made your own weapon right?" Celestia asked glancing at Ironclad.

"I did, and it is my best creation and I really miss it." Remorel said.

Celestia thought for a moment.

'It could be a good way to know his trustworthiness. Although a bit dangerous, it would provide me with more trust than any other method. And it's a quicker solution too...hmmm...'

"Hey Remorel, if I give you your weapon back, do you think you can give us a little combat show? And maybe possibly show Ironclad how to make such a weapon?"

Remorel took this in consideration, it didn't take very long.

"Sure, as long as not to many ponies are around I guess it's fine, but what exactly do you mean by a 'combat show'?"

"Like, show us how you fight and whatnot. It's very informing of another's fighting experience." Celestia gave a warm smile.

"Yeah sure." He waited for Celestia to give him his weapon.

All three ponies, Ironclad, Luna, and Starfury, gave a worried glance at Celestia.

Luna spoke telepathically to Celestia.

'Sister, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, he's only been here for two days, don't you think this might be a bit early?'

'Not to worry Lulu, from what I could see, he can be trusted. This is a test to see if he can be trusted with a weapon.'

'But Tia, It's only been two days!'

'He didn't escape when we gave him a room that had a balcony, free for him to leave. He could've took advantage of the elements, but he listened and obeyed. He could've attacked Starfury and Ironclad and used them as a distraction for an escape. Lulu, I'm pretty sure he can be trusted, this test is to see if he can be trusted with a weapon.'

'If you say so Tia, I don't question your judgment.'

Luna dropped the spell.

Celestia closed her eyes and located the sword throughout her kingdom, specifically Twilight's room. And of course, it's under her bed.

'I really need to teach Twilight a void spell so she can actually store things.'

It was actually pretty difficult for her, the material the sword was made out of was unknown to her, or was enchanted, or both. And took a while before she could actually bring it to Remorel.

"Remorel, once I give you your sword you are not allowed to attack any of my subjects unless given the right to do so, do you understand?" Celestia asked as she was withholding the spell.

"Of course Celestia, I wouldn't want to harm any of your subjects."

Celestia resisted for a moment, but summoned Remorel's sword.

Celestia opened her eyes to see a growing black puddle forming on the ground.

"W-wait. This isn't the spell I performed!" Celestia backed away from the black puddle.

Everybody except Remorel backed away from the sludge.

"Remorel, what are you doi-"

"Your spell didn't work, but my sword came to me. Because I called it." Remorel said as he cut Celestia off.

"C-called it!? Why!?" Celestia asked getting only slightly angry.

"For your protection, my sword has an enchantment that makes it to where I can only summon it. Twilight was able to because the enchantment was also weakened with me when Selina attacked me. But, it was recharged before me. And if you summoned it, it would have drained all your magic in one go."

Remorel got closer to Celestia, placing a bony hand on her shoulder.

"I don't want to cause harm. Especially one's I trust." Remorel retracted his hand.

Celestia had a mind freeze.

'He trusts me? He trusts all of us? But why? Why so soon?'

The puddle stopped growing as a thin dark mass grew from it. As it materialized from liquid to a solid black. Then melted into a giant sword, Remorel's sword.

As Remorel approached the sword, a small amount of red light leaked out of the sword and flooded into Remorel.

"Remorel, what are you doing?" Luna asked.

Remorel responded without looking at Luna.

"Regaining my powers..."

Celestia was about to protest, but she stopped when Remorel was clutching the hilt of the sword.

The sword glowed for a moment before the puddle disappeared inside the sword, causing a bit of a black glow before it turned back to its normal coloration.

He placed the sword on his back, then it went invisible from view.

"Well...that was interesting..." Starfury commented, slightly shaking.

"Think of it as a security measure, this sword is powerful and cannot fall into the wrong hands." Remorel said as he walked back to the princesses.

"How powerful is your sword?" Celestia asked.

"Lets just say I use it as an emergency backup for magic, if a situation comes to were my magic is gone or almost to that point, I can use this as a backup." Remorel explained.

"Oh, well then. Would you give us a demonstration on how you fight?" Luna said with more curiosity.

"Depends, what do you want me to do?"

"We want to introduce you to the rest of the Royal Guard, so they don't take you as an enemy. And gives you more room to wander." Celestia spoke for Luna.

Ironclad took this opportunity to ask Remorel a question.

"Excuse me Mr. Remorel, but can I see your sword again?"

Remorel smiled under his hood. "Of course, but don't touch it, it might shock you."

Remorel extended his arm and opened his hand, the sword appeared from nowhere and gently floated in his hand. He clutched it and slowly turned around and placed it on the ground.

"Whelp, here it is. Get a good long look at it."

Luna, Celestia, and Starfury with Ironclad looked at the massive blade. It if Celestia was laying down, the tip of the blade would be to her neck, and the hilt at the end of her tail. The edge of the blade looked shinier than the rest, showing off its sharpness. It had skulls on it that gave off a sense of intimidation, and just by looking at it, nobody would be stupid enough to face such a thing.

"Wow, you made this? It's incredible..." Ironclad's eyes gleamed when he scanned the sword.

"Yep, only took me three weeks without stopping to make." Remorel opened his hand and the sword disappeared from view.

"Now, about that presentation for the Guard, when should we schedule it?"

Celestia thought for a little bit.

"How about tomorrow we can request a special event and all of the staff and Royal Guard are invited, it will give us a chance to introduce you to everypony in the castle all at once, and if it goes well, they will let you roam the castle." Celestia said.

"Right, sounds good. But in the meantime let's get you used to the castle." Luna said aloud.

"Ironclad and Starfury, you two can come if you want." Luna finished.

They both looked at each other, then followed Luna and Remorel out the door.

Celestia stayed behind and thought to herself.

'Even when all his powers are back, he doesn't use them to fight. He even has his weapon back. So far he can be trusted.'

She came back to reality and quickly followed them.

Remorel was slightly on edge, having his weapon back made him more alert. And now that all his powers are back, he sensed something was wrong, something was horribly wrong.

He needs to stay alert.

[Back on Earth]

Dunmer walked his newfound castle. Remorel's old castle after he was banished. All the humans are now under his command, even with his odd form, they still follow him nevertheless.

His new plan, since his old one failed....kind of.

He needs to finish off Remorel, but the power he has now won't do any good, but Selina has that power. She needs to go down first. And then he will have the power to finally end Death.

This will be the easy part, she's stubborn and can go down without effort with this newfound power.

Remorel however, he's a tough cookie.

'I need to take Selina, so I have that power.'

Dunmer stared out his balcony, claws behind his back.

'Humanity will not fall.'

[Afterlife realm of the humans]

Complete collapse...
