I sat on a large rock in the backyard with Ameerah playing with Snowball and Tracy my Manticore. She would chase them, and when she managed to catch one, they would lick her and Tracy seemed to be more gentle of the two. Snowball would push her over while licking her face and I’d jump down to stop him only for Tracy would tackle him off her. Then she would stand over her protecting her from him. It got to the point he sat beside my rook and I scratched his head making him happy. It was clear to me that Tracy would be Ameerah’s best friend.

“TROY!”

Snowball and I jumped when we heard Celestia yell. Tracy jumped in front of Ameerah with fur on end small fangs showing. I got up and saw a panic look on her face. I ran over and she pointed into the house. I rushed in and froze when I saw a pool of water under her while Applebloom and Rarity helped her over to the door. “Oh, shit.” I ran over and took Luna from then took off to the hospital. “Ameerah is outside someone watch her!” I took off and Luna yelled for me to slow down. I did but then she had tears in her eyes. Not be able to run full speed it took us twenty munites to get to the hospital. The waiting room was empty and the nurses all looked over to us. They saw Luna in my arms holding her stomach with tears running down her face. They quickly got a stretcher and had me wait in the waiting run until she was ready to deliver. I sat there not fighting them on this them knowing what they're doing and waited for the others. After half an hour the girls showed up and I was calm on the outside but inside I a mess ready to panic. The Families came to and Granny had a camera with her Mac, Harvester, and Coach all had items in hand. Mac had a cake with congratulations on it. Celestia quickly took it as Coach and Harvester gave me a bottle of high-quality apple cider and starter set of football gear. I thanked them then the nurse quickly rushed out.

“Princess Luna is ready Troy.”

I threw the guys aside as I rushed past the nurse. I quickly round found Luna and in a room in a delivery room with hospital clothes on. She had her hair tied back in a ponytail her legs spread so the doctor could do her work. Luna looked a the door and saw me and if she could kill me with a look I’d be dead.

“You are never touching me again!”

She used her royal voice and we all covered our ears. Once she stopped I walked over and offered my hand for her to hold and she took it nearly crushing it in her grip. I tapped her hand a few times and she smiled as she looked at me.

“If I have to be in pain so do you!”

Her grip got tighter and she was smiling as the nurse gave her a morphine drip. The pain was numbed and I got my hand back. I rubbed as the doctor told her to start pushing. The morphine was just enough to help with the pain but not enough to make her dead to the doctor's voice. She did as she was told and nine hours of hell started. Luna swears that she would never have another foal in her life and I would never so much as hold them for all the pain I was making her go through. At one point she screamed at me to get out of the room. I thought about pointing out she wanted them before me when I walked out. Everyone was still in the waiting room and I walked over to a chair then sat down off to the side my hand still hurts. I sat there for a few hours and we could her Luna yelling and screaming about how I was a dead man walking. I calmly sat there re-reading a magazine I found in the corner on a bookshelf.

“How are you so calm?”

I looked up at Sweeties mom and looked back down to the magazine. “I’ve walked through dozens of battlefields, countless fights, and slaying hundreds of danger beast. This is a walk in the park besides she gets like this she’ll calm down then after a week things will be back to normal. All the girls nodded and she looked at me for a second then snatched the magazine from my hands. I looked back at her and she looked down at me with what she thinks is an intimidating look. I smiled then stood up and she back down very quickly. I cracked my neck and back then walked back to the door. “Back to the battlefield,” I spoke with a smile on my face a happy smile I knew everyone so.

Celestia pov

I saw the smile on his face which was rare. Sure he smiled a lot but this was different than his normal smile. This smile was one we only saw when he was about to fight. I smiled because it meant he was really happy. “You know he really is happy.” Everypony looked at me as I rubbed a hand over my stomach.

“How can you tell Celestia?”

I looked at Applebloom then spoke again. “Well, when you’ve been alive as long as we’ve lived long enough to tell when somepony is really happy. Over these seven months, I think I’ve started to figure him out to a point. I believe humans as a whole want a peaceful life but will not turn away from combat. But, he may not apply to him well enough.”

“Why do you say that Princess?”

“He hates combat at times I think he loves it.”

“WHY!?”

I looked at everyone and explained why I thought this. “Think about when he was fighting in town he had that smile. But, something changed about him half way into that fight. It was like he was something else or maybe someone else. This also confirms something else I’ve been thinking about. I believe he may have formed a second personality to help cope with the horrors of war. I’ve seen so griffins do this after their last war with the deer kingdom almost two hundred years ago.”

“DIED!”

Troy was sent back through the doors and a burn mark on his chest. Troy grabbed a chair then coughed out a cloud of smoke. “So, that what it feels like to be hit by lighting.” His head fell back onto the ground smoke coming from his shirt. Mac and Coach walked over to him then poked him with a hoof.

“You alive?”

He held a thumb up then pointed to the door.

“She’s starting labor now, I’m tagging out someone tag in because I’m not getting like that again.”

Hours went by with myself and Troy going in to be with her. I got the nice end but Troy got as he would say deal with the helish‘s wrath of a mare. But, soon enough the first foal was born. He was an alicorn colt with a human top but a pony body on the lower half. He had black fur with a horn on his head with a set of black wings on his back. Is hair was the same as Luna’s with the ends being black like mine. The second and to all our shock he was a human just like Troy with his hair dark red hair not the stary hair like my other son or Luna’s. But, the full human was much smaller than the other colt which worried everyone but Troy wasn’t.

“I’m not worried he’ll be the strongest of us all.”

Luna looked at him tears in her eye as she held her foals.

“How can you say that with a straight face!”

Troy looked at her a smiled on his face as he leaned over the side of the bed and hugged Luna and the foals gently. Luna smiled then rubbed her cheek on his then he stood back up.

“Their our kids, these like guys will be tough and I know this little guy with making it sure as the moon will come up tonight.”

Luna smiled then kissed the tops of their heads. But, soon the doctors and nurse took them to clean them up and Luna had a chance to get some rest.

Troy pov

We all looked at the boys through the window of the nursery in the hospital. Granny was loving the tiny kids and was asking when can she hold them. I told her she was clear to hold them after Luna and I get to for a little while. She nodded then I grabbed Nightmare when she tried to break the window, I froze her to the chair by her arms and Daybreaker Laughed at her. I flipped her orange hair over her face.

“Sir, can I ask you something?”

I turned back and saw a nurse behind me. “Yes?” She looked down at the sheet of paper then started to talk.

“The foal that was born with pony parts seems to be fully developed as is the human foal. But, something is strange with the human foal. Magic seems to have no effect on him but some about his body is worrying. He has much denser bones with a much stronger than normal kids his age. His body seems to be stronger then any foal we’ve had delivered here. I’d say his body is like that of a five-month-old already.”

I laughed a little as I looked at her then started to play it off. “Well, you see humans evolved from a predator or so our bodies and builds are tougher. But, I guess humans like me are different in some ways.” She took out a pen then started to write as I explained.

“You some humans still live in tribes for centuries. My two was made of six tribes all of them having lived in the far north mountains where we only get about three months of sunlight a year. Our bodies evolved over thirty generations to grew larger faster and have much more raw strength. Our bones got stronger to handle the fighting with the danger beast as big as the dragons here., Hell some people could take them down bare handed.” She wrote everything down then asked a question.

“Should we expect any kind of difficulties with him as he grows?”

I nodded then crossed my arms. “No, physically speaking he’ll be a beast by the time his in his teens. Because if where my family was from the far north mountains our endurance increase thous our stamina increase rapidly. We can endurance rigorous physical activity for hours on end making easy for us to hunt down monsters.” Nightmare spoke up from her chair.

“So that’s how you last so long in…”

I froze her mouth shut then looked away from everyone a blush on my face. “That aside, he’ll be fine.” She capped her pen then turned and walked off. I looked at Nightmare and Celestia had freed her. She had an evil smile on her face and this time I covered my hand in my fire. She took off running knowing I wasn’t to be messed with.

“I’ll see you all later!”

I tried the cut off my fire but it changed to lightning with fire on my skin. “That’s new.” I held my hand up then forced it to shut off. Bad move on my part as I was shot back into a wall. I pulled myself from the wall as Cadence and Mac helped me up. The nurse looked around the corner and I waved to her.

“Just send me the bill for the hole.”

“Yes, sir.”

I cracked my neck, back, and shoulders. “I guess got something from you to Cadence.” She laughed a little and Mac rolled his eyes as he looked at us with a smile on his face. The girls left for home and I had Blade with and the first rifle battalion as guards for the next few days. I walked back into Luna’s room and she was still asleep. I pulled her cover her up more than she had it. She moved in her sleep then opened her eyes and looked up at me.

“Hello love.”

I smiled as she looked at me a smile on her face. I pulled a chair closer to her bed and rested a hand down on her hand. She smiled then moved over some and pulled on my arm.

“Get in bed, I can’t sleep well if you're not with me.”

I laughed a little as I climbed into the bed and she turned and pressed herself close to me. Soon enough she fell asleep and I held her close.

‘Master I can connect your minds if you’d like.”

I smiled then spoke. ‘Sure but, let’s use to our advantage. Now, what should I saw here?”

Luna dream world

I walked through a forest much different from any I’ve seen. I seemed to be on a snow mountain with huge Spruce trees or maybe pines I wasn’t too sure. As I walked I heard somepony else walking in the snow. I opened my wings and flew up into the sky to see what was going on. I saw someone walked through the snow with a large battle axe on his shoulder. It was very well built and the design that would take a month for our best smiths. It had a solid wood handle with a strange material wrapped around it.

I got closer and saw it was a he with a long black scarf with the bottles was torn shreds on but was dressed in a short sleeve shirt and jeans. He was a human and I stopped when he looked up showing his face. It was Troy walking through this frozen wasteland.

“RRRRRAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!”

Troy stopped and looked in front of him as trees were thrown to the sides as something raced at him. He got ready to fight whatever was coming his way but he seemed almost bored. A beast ran out on all four and I saw almost sick as I looked at it. It looked like a huge monkey beast what looked like it was skinned alive with black bones coming from its chest. It had some fur on its body with massive claws on its hands.

Troy spoke up as the beast was about to attack him.

“A category one red ape beast, a little on the small size though.”

He jumped as the beast claws destroyed the ground where he was a moment ago. Troy landed on the beast left shoulder then burned the axe deep into the beast head. It tried to take a few steps then fell face first to the ground. Troy pulled the axe free and walked up to the beast head and hit face first to the ground. He walked off the dead beast then hit the claws a few time then smiled.

“Can’t get much for the fur but these claws could make great weapons.” He used his shoulder to push the beast arm then started to cut the fingers at the wrist. I watched as he cut the hands free then started to drag them up a large hill. After an hour both hands were in front of a large cabin. He sat down on the steps in front of the door a bottle in hand.

“Hey, loser!”

A young human woman with a foal in her arms with a man around Troy’s new size. She had long pink hair with a long pink dress with black leggings with pink boots. The man was dressed a lot like Troy was but he had brown hair and eyes.

“Well well, Mine, Sam what are you three doing this far north?”

The little foal looked at Troy then started to scream and laughed as he looked at Troy. Troy laughed as he looked at the little human. Troy put the bottle down then got up as they walked up to me. When Troy was close the girl punched him in square in his nose. He fell back on the ground holding his nose as blood dripped down from his nose. I looked at this my jaw dropping as I looked at her.

“For the love of god Mine what was that for?!”

She put the hand on her waist on her hip and looked down at him.

“You just upped and walked off after the new capital was built. Do you know how hard it was to track you down!?”

Troy got up holding his nose as he looked at her.

“Sorry! You knew I was going to come home after I helped you guys rebuild. Hell, I even took care of all the monsters that came near the capital.”

This seemed to make her madder and she grabbed his shirt while the other man took the little human

“I don’t give a damn! For almost four years we fought with one another and we saved each other time after time. I can’t count all the times I’ve seen you risk your life for even a wounded old man. You fought your way through hundreds of soldiers to save a little girl, you never quit! You never just walk AWAY!”

I watched as Troy just looked down at her as I landed beside them.

“You know why I left Mine, I left because I couldn’t be around anymore. I loved to help all of the people there but you know that I can barely bear the weight of what I did as Thanatos. Those days hunt me in my dreams and every waking moment of my life.”

She let him go and Troy dropped to the ground his hair covering her face.

“I can’t believe you’ve fallen this far Troy you are a hero, what happened to that hero? That man who was fear as the unstoppable monster that made the world largest empire shack like children hiding behind their mother. You were a force to fear a living demon that brought the world to its knees.”

Troy was on his knees not say anything just taking her words. I was beyond mad at this little whorse. How dare she talk about him like this after admitting he was a hero. I was sure this was a memory but if it wasn’t I’d have ripped this little whore apart to teach her a lesson. Then, she started to talk again.

“But, you’ve more then earned your the right to live in peace is if that’s what you want to do.”

She sighed and kneeled down then wrapped her arms around his head and hugged him.

“You put yourself through hell and all you really got was a sword with a mountain of regret for what you had to do. I won’t lie to you and say I understand how you feel sure we may have fought together. We saw the worst that humanity has to offer but you were able to Murasame you were given the worst missions solely for that reason. How you can even smile after everything you’ve been through. The hell you’ve had to live with will always live with but I can promise someday you’ll find some kind of peace I can promise you that.”

I watched as the memory faded to black as everything changed. I was in the ruins of a city with the sounds of fighting all around me. I heard running behind me. I looked back and saw a very well dressed human with a captain rack on his shoulder was running away Troy close behind.

"Please just look the other way! I can give you anything you could want I’m a noble!"

Troy ignored him as he drew his sword then jumped. A look of complete rage on his face as he cl9sed in on the man.

"You killed all these women and children and you beg for your life!?"

In one swift motion, Troy took his head off his shoulders. He still had the scarf and I saw it was slightly burned at the end. He looked down at the head of the other human for a moment a blank look on his face. Then to my shock, he spat on the head.

“Sorry rapist.”

He turned around and I noticed something. He had a broadsword in hand not Murasame but something else stood out. He was nothing but skin and bones walking but just barely. He looked so weak and he looked like he had been starving for weeks. He walked for a long time until he got to a large warehouse. He raised the sword above his head then cut the chains holding it closed. The chains dropped then he dropped the sword and pressed shoulder into forcing the door open. I followed him in then stopped and looked on in horror. Hanging by their arms was human mares their bodies cut deep forming deep bloody wounds. Troy walked through the bodies then stopped looking at one his eyes full of horror.

"S-sayo!?"

I ran threw the bodies as he dropped to his knees again. I looked up and saw another body with fresh cuts some still bleeding. The mare was long dead but I was more shocked at what I saw around him. dead foals with the same wounds all females. I felt myself growing sick but I heard coughing and so did Troy. He jumped to his feet and looked around trying to find whoever was left from this nightmare.

“What happened to you in the past Troy?”

Everything turned black then I was in a ballroom. I looked around and saw the symbol of Night raid all around the room. A song seemed to be starting up as I noticed humans walking in dressed up in dress and suits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hup5JMuX1p4

The girl Troy was talking to walked into the ballroom and a group of humans. Troy walked in soon not too long after his right arm was in a sling with bandages wrapped around his head and his left eye. the party started and He sat down near the back on the room.

"You look like shit, haha."

A woman with an eyepatch her other eye was purple. She had short white hair as white as snow. She had a well-maintained body and had on some sort of arm armor on her right arm.

She sat down beside him then pulled a black box then pulled a black stick out of it. She put it in her mouth then Troy reached into his pocket then pulled out a piece of metal. He flipped a lid on the metal thing then I was a small will on the side with a small pipe on the thing then put his thumb on the wheel then turned it quickly making sparks. A small flame came from it and the human mare smiled then led in with the stick between her fingers. it started to burn and she sat back in her chair then took a breath of the stick.

"You know those things will kill you someday right?"

She blew out smoke and taped her middle finger on it to knock some ash off it.

"Maybe, but you know I have to ask you something."

"Ya?"

"What will you do now Troy?"

Troy raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. "You know that I'm going..."

"That's not what I mean Troy. I want to know what your really going to do. I've known you for almost for years. I know when someone planning something."

He looked at her then put the metal object down on the table as he looked right at me and smiled. "Find peace Najenda. I can't live with this weight forever I can't do it."

She took another puff of smoke then spoke.

"I see, how will you do that then?"

"No, Idea."

Soon their voices started to fade out as I started to wake up.

Luna awake pov

I woke up to the sound of my sister's voice.

"Luna, Luna wake up."

I woke up and turned my head to look at my sister. She was holding my foals and I smiled as I started to move but stopped when I felt a hand slid down my side. I looked down and had forgotten Troy was sleeping beside me. I ran a hand down his head then frowned. 'What a heavy heavy burden you have to carry.' I looked back at Celestia again then held my arms out. She handed them over to me and I cradled them in my arms a smile on my face. They were looking at me both of them had Troy's eyes.

"Hm, my eyes."

I looked down at Troy and saw he was awake now. I laughed as I looked back at them. "You'll have such a happy life."
