The Last Of The Frost Demons
Chapter 14: Act 13: This Is All The Power You Have?
Previous ChapterIt was just another sunny day in spring in Canterlot. Koraseru was resting on one of the tower roofs his hands behind his head after a long day of training. He’d usually be at his favorite spot in the garden, but considering that was blown to bits. But he didn’t really care. He was just happy he had saved Luna. And lucky that his tail possesses healing abilities once consumed. A rather...unconventional way of healing, but it worked. Koraseru sighed lightly and looked up at the pinkish sky..well, it would normally be blue, but with a barrier now formed around the whole entire castle, things on the outside were a different shade of color.
Why the heightened security? Well, two reasons. A threat has been made against Canterlot, the source is unknown. And the guard captain, Twilight’s brother Shining Armor, is getting married to some princess of love or something other. He always thought that his adoptive sisters were the only real princesses and rulers. Shows what he knew apparently. Koraseru wanted to go and tell Twilight the news, but he was made to swear not to tell her. Which was no fun. Twilight has a right to know her big brother was getting married. And he felt like a bad friend for not being able to do so. But his hands were tied.
He sighs in boredom and stands up. He makes his way to the edge of the roof and falls forward, plummeting towards the ground before taking flight at the last few feet, startling a few guards below in the process. He soars through the air, twirling and doing barrels rolls simply because he could. Technically he was supposed to be on his own version of guard duty, but nothing was happening. Everything was as calm as it could be. No dragons, no other arcosians, though the princess of love he had the displeasure of meeting was a real bitch, and it took everything for Koraseru to not flat out insult her when she called him a ‘bipedal walking giant lizard’.Yes, arcosians have reptile like qualities, but they are NOT lizards.
There was one good thing though, Twilight and the others were coming today, as the wedding itself was tomorrow and they needed the expertise of Twilight and her friends. This made him happy as he would get to see them all once more. It has been quite a while since he had seen his friends from Ponyville. Though, something told him in his gut that finding out from an invitation, Twilight wasn’t going to be too happy with her brother. As he soared through the air, Celestia saw him and smiled, waving him down to come and see her at the tower she was watching over the castle on. He blinks and makes his way to her, landing on the balcony railing and crouches in front of her, resting his elbows on his thighs.
“Hey there, Tia. I promise I haven’t been lazing around….”
He was only being half true though, and she knew it, But, she giggled lightly and nodded.
“Oh yes, I know you have been hard at work, napping up on the highest tower.”
She said reaching up and poking his chest a few times. He grinned and rose his hands up and lowered his head slightly.
“Alright, alright. You got me.”
They both laugh lightly.
“But in all seriousness, Tia. If I can take down a dragon, surely whatever threat is watching us shouldn’t be any harder.”
She reaches up and lightly caresses his cheek in a loving manner.
“Koraseru, I know you are a strong fighter. And we have been blessed to have you on our side. Not to mention being part of the family. But you got pretty banged up when you fought him. It’s not wise to underestimate your enemies.”
He nodded in agreement., understanding where she was coming from.
“He was a challenge, and I felt nervous when facing him, I will be honest. But for some reason, I...don’t feel nervous at all. When I faced down Frieza, I felt nervous as well.”
She nods, listening to him as he spoke, it was time he told her his feelings about him and his abilities.
“Listen to me Koraseru. I love you so very much. You and Lulu are all I have in this world as family. But I won’t lie. That day when I saw you become so angry after what had happen. I was genuinely more afraid of you than the dragon. And knowing what you are capable of. That attack you used to incinerate the beast...it was like you formed a small sun in your hands…”
“That was a trump card my father told me about when I was younger. He said to use it only when you are certain that you could hit your target. If you miss, the devastation of the area around you could be very large.”
He then looks Celestia straight in the eyes.
“But why do you fear me? You control a heavenly body, as does Lulu. If you ever wanted to, you could break your power limits and destroy this planet in one single blow. I am no fool Tia. I know you and Lulu possess more power than you both let on. But the issue is, if you did use that full power, the results would be catastrophic for the whole world.”
She nods and lowers her head.
“That is why I fear of your abilities, Koraseru. While my sister and I can’t go full power, you have the ability to do so. We know you would never ever hurt us, or anyone of our subjects just because you wield that power. But still…”
She felt him wrap his arms around her in a hug, she returns the embrace and nuzzles into him.
“I’d never jeopardize our bond, Tia. I love you and Lulu so so very much. Of course, you already know I love Lulu in a much more intimate way. But you two are still as close to family as I will ever get.”
Celestia nodded, hearing those words straight from him made her happy. She releases him and looks below.
“Ah, looks like Twilight and her friends have made it. I am sure you are rather excited to see them. Go on now.”
She said teasingly. He chuckled lightly and nodded, waving off to her as he flies down to the ground below to meet them. Twilight had a grumpy look on her face, but it turned into a smile once she saw the arcosian land in front of her.
“Koraseru!”
She said before running to him and nearly tackling him into the ground. Squeezing him with all her might and nuzzling against him.
“Oooh it is so good to see you again! We miss you back in Ponyville, you need to come visit more often!”
He smiles and lightly pets her on the head as he wraps his other arm around her in a hug.
“I know Twi. Things have gotten a little tight around here as of late.I know you are probably upset at your brother because he sent you an invitation about this...random wedding. But since he is the one that has been holding up this barrier to keep out...whatever threat has been made, he has been extremely busy. So whenever you see the guy, don’t go to hard on him, alright? I am sure he will be more than happy to see you.”
She lowers her head and closes her eyes, then sighs. She looks up at him with a nod.
“Thank you for informing me, Koraseru. I am definitely not as upset as I was. At least I know he is just trying to keep everyone safe.Do you know where i can find him?”
He nods in response and points to the entry way into the main courtyard.
“Last I saw he was appointing guards their assigned posts. You will be able to catch him there.”
She nods in return and makes her way there. Afterwhich Koraseru made his way to see the others. He figured it would be good to catch up with them all. But he only had a short time to visit with them unfortunately. The wedding was tomorrow and everything was on a time crunch. Night soon fell, and Luna was already out on the tower to relieve Celestia of watch.
“Rest my dear sister. As always, I will guard the night.”
“And you have me here to!”
Koraseru said before landing next to her. The mare smiled widely and ran over to her lover, wrapping him in her arms tightly and nuzzling and kissing him all over.
“Mhmm, just in time to!”
Celestia chuckles lightly and give a playful pouty face.
“You sure are lucky Lulu...I hope I can find someone who will come and keep me company and cozy up to me like you have.”
Luna chuckles and buries Koraseru’s face in her breasts.
“Oh dear sister...he is more than just one to cozy up to. He is by far the best lover out there. And the best part, he care about me for me. Unlike those other snobbish princes who have tried to court me. Though, I am sure you will find somepony someday very soon sister. I hope for it.”
“As doI sister, but ever since you have met Koraseru, you have been happier than i have ever seen you. Oh..and you may want to give him a bit of air, silly mare.”
She points to the smothering ample breasts that have indeed cut off his air supply. But then if his kind can survive in the airless vacuum of space...why would he need air? He was perfectly fine the where he was..in his mind anyways. She doesn’t release him, knowing this.
“Oh, I know he isn’t complaining. If he can fly out into space without the need of oxygen, I don’t think he minds.”
Celestia giggles and shakes her head.
“Alright, I am headed off to sleep, goodnight Lulu, Koraseru. You to don’t have too much fun now.”
After a while, Luna releases him and giggles lightly. Koraseru chuckled and leaned up and locked lips with her lovingly, wrapping his arms around her as they share their kiss. After a minute or to the break it and lean against the railing. They pretty much just spend the night talking and snuggling together. Making jokes about the wedding that was going on tomorrow
“You know Kiraseru...I will want to get married someday to...And I definitely want you to be the one waiting at the altar for me..”
He laughs lightly and nods.
“Well I sure hope so silly mare.”
They talked and talked. Mostly about the future together and how that once they married, he would become her eternal lover. Which wasn’t such a bad idea. And while they were enjoying their time together, dark plots were being set into motion. Koraseru would be needed, but this time, things will be more...manageable.
--Wedding Day--
Koraseru was awaken but large shattering sound. He looks out the window to see that the barrier had been broken and that there were these odd looking bug pony things flying around.Mainly in the city below it seemed. Luna was still fast asleep and could care less about what was going on in the world. Koraseru gets up and places Luna’s favorite body pillow in his place so she wouldn’t wake. She hugs the pillow tightly and drapes a leg over it.
“Oooh Koraseru...you naughty thing you...yes, please touch me there…”
He can’t help but chuckle to himself, he makes sure that all the doors would remain locked and that whatever was going on outside wouldn’t affect her slumber. He had this covered.
--The Chapel--
“Too bad you were all caught up in your wedding planning to realize her suspicions were correct!”
Shouted Chrysalis with an evil triumphant grin. She was about to make her way over to the window to watch her minions wreak havoc upon the streets below, when two of her minions with holes in their torso that didn’t belong fall in the doorway. Everyone gasped as they saw who came in.
“Seems like we got quite the pest problem here Canterlot. And on a day like this no doubt!”
Koraseru said as he flew in with his arms crossed, arching a brow as he looked around the room, gathering the situation together. He noticed the larger female changeling staring at him. With a bit of a shock on her face.
“You? How did you even get here without a single scratch?!”
She asked as she looked at her two dead minions then back up at him as he hovers in with his arms crossed over his chest. He shrugs his shoulder and smiles.
“Well, elt’s just say they are quite the...most worthy opponents I have faced as of recent. I did take down a dragon after all.”
He said as he looked around the room to assess the situation. He flies over to twilight and the others and looks them over.
“You girls alright?”
Cadence looked at the creature as he approached, a bit startled by his appearance, though Twilight and the others seemed quite happy he was here. He then turns his head to look at Celestia who was in her upside down prison. He gives a smile to ehr.
“Hang in there Tia. I will get you out soon….no pun intended…”
She glared at him for the unintended joke, but smiled and nodded. He then turns to Chrysalis and holds his arms out to his sides.
“Come on now. How about you and your minions pack up and head back home. Don’t make this any harder than it has to be for you.”
The queen laughs at him, dropping in front of him and starts hissing at him. Vlearly, ehr method of intimidation did not work on him, though.
"You are making a big mistake bug lady."
He said as he stood there with his arms crossed.
“Bug..lady? You will pay for that you little worm!”
She begins throwing multiple kicks and punches his way, though all he had to do was simply dodge with a cocky smile on his face. And that smile made Chrysalis even more upset. The changeling was already running out of breath by this point.
“Aawww, come on. No way you can be this much of a whimp. Put some effort into it!”
He said before slamming his tail into her gut and sending her across the floor. He crosses his arms again and yawns, that smile returning to his face once more.
“If this is all you can muster, I am afraid you will have a lotof trouble on collecting the payment.”
She gets up holding her stomach. Everyone watched Koraseru. He was being violent yes, but at the same time he seemed like he was only toying with her. Celestia noticed this as well. It wasn’t like the last few times when it was out of pure anger. He is literally using ehr as his plaything. Getting kicks out of watching her struggle in a fight against him.
“I’ll tell you want, I will give you a free hit.”
He said as he walked upto her and leaned forward, showing his cheek, pointing to it.
“Go on, right here.”
Chrysalis growls lowly and leans back, bringing her fist to his cheek with a right hook. It connects, but Koraseru simply opens his eyes with another cocky grin. Slapping her hand away. And crosses his arms once again.
“Alright fine. I will give you one more shot, after that I will be sending you out the window.”
He then leaps back and stands there with his arms out again.
“Give me the best magic blast you can give me. I want to see how it compares to one of mine.”
She was feeling absolutely humiliated by this. She could barely lay a hit on him, and her anger was getting out of control. This is what worked for Koraseru when he wasn’t in anger himself. Getting into the opponent’s mind was his main tactic. He watches her horn glow and charge up, a glare and evil smile coming across her face. She releases the toxic green magic, aiming right for the arcosian, and with a simple swing of his arm, he sends it out the window. A look of pure shock and awe came across the changelings face.
“My turn now!”
He said as he points a finger at her, but then notices his distraction was no longer needed. He lowers his finger and shrugs.
“Looks like Shining and his new bride have things covered now. Fire at will,lovebirds.”
He said with a chuckle. Chrysalis turned around to see the new couple performing a changeling repelling spell, there magic as one.
“No...no!”
BOOM!!!
A force expels her and her minions out the the kingdom, indeed sending her out the window. Well, he didn’t send her out, but she did indeed leave via the window. This most certainly won’t be the most...odd kind of conflict Koraseru won’t face again. He actually thought it was pretty fun!
