Luna pov Two days later

I sat in the war tent, looking at Troy with his head on Celestia's lap as he laid on a cot two guards brought in. Celestia's arm was in a splint badly swollen, but she was hiding the pain well. Ember spoke up as she looked down at him.

"You need to get back to Equestria Troy. You look wiped out, and some of the wounded need to go back as well. I'm sure your captains can handle this; they've seen how you fight."

I stood up then looked down at him. "She's right, and I'll leave my personal elite guards as officers." He nodded his head as he sat up, looking at me.

"No, my captain won't listen to them. They don't know them or how they may lead a battle. I will tell them to hunker down and build up defenses along the front. I'll be staying aa well, but the wounded will be taken back to the capital to be given proper medical treatment."

I was getting annoyed as I looked at him. "Why must you stay!? You've worn out your body fighting this Urgirth. You can bearly sit up! You've led them into each battle, and I've done so asking. You've skipped meals and done full night watches and...!" I took a step towards him, but a black, and white wolf puppy shot out from under the cot snapping at me. I jumped as the puppy growled as it looked at me.

"Down, girl."

Troy reached down and picked up the puppy as she looked at me.

"Eva, you need to play nice with one of your mommies."

"Another wolf?!" I yelled at him as she smiled as Eva; he called her turned and looked up at him.

"What? I love dogs and wolfs."

"Really?"

We all looked at the sole female diamond dog guards, and she blushed as she looked at us. Troy laughed a little and nodded his head as he looked at her.

"Ya, but don't let it go to your head, Fetch."

She nodded red face red as she looked at the ground.

"Yes, sir."

He laughed again then spoke to her.

"Fetch, why don't you go get something to eat while all we here a little talk."

"Yes, Sir."

She bowed then quickly walked out of the tent then He sat Eva down then looked at Chrysalis as she sat down at the table, a smile on her face as she and her sister Honey were looking through a foal book.

"Chrysalis, can you get the queens and the Griffon king?"

"Sure."

She stood up, then walked over to the flap as he sat Eva back down in her paws. But, she jumped back up, pressing her paws on his legs while banting. I sighed at his attitude at this, then the flaps opened, and a snow leaper walked in light armor with hair and eyes like Troy. She looked pissed as she glared at us. She walked in then shoved me aside as she looked down at Troy.

"Troy, we got a problem with the prisoners. The male dragon in custody is fighting with everyone who gets close; also, some of the deers are grabbing at any female that gets close. My sister got grabbed as well as some of our medical staff."

He huffed then stood from the cot, grabbing a long knife from his side bag. "Who did you catch this time?" He looked at me, a frown on his face.

"Spike."

Troy pov

I watched as a snarl formed on Luna's face as Arua looked up at me. "Let's go get him chained back down. This time I'm making the point clear." I walked out with Aura, and Luna followed me out.

"What are you going to do?"

I smirked as I held up the knife. "A scar can be a good reminder of who not to mess with or to be stupid. Besides, he's still got two and a half years." Luna huffed as she rolled her eyes then shoved me a little.

"And ponies say I'm crazy."

I laughed a little, then walked closer, and hip bumped her. "I'm just going to slash his arm or maybe a scar over one of his eyes. Now, Got back, and please keep the leaders peaceful until I get back. She smiled then nodded her head before turning back. I sighed then spun my long knife on hand as we walked up to the quickly ade prison area. Griffon's had cages brought to hold them as they captured, but the deer wasn't who I was after, but the fear in their eyes as I walked passed made me realize how much they feared me. But, I also saw some of the younger deers tied and chained with well-dressed Griffonswith handwritten price tags. I was about to ripe, but a hand grabbed my shoulder. I turned back to see the prince.

"Don't try and stop them. The nobles have threatened civil war if we stop them from buying so of the soldiers. But, we made to clear death would follow if any of the females were taken or sold.'

Jerked my rm free then started to walk knife at the ready. "No, I have another idea." As I walked, the nobles saw me walking up, and fear quickly filled their eyes as I walked up to them. I spun my knife in hand as I looked at the oldest and most well-dressed griffon. "So, want to tell me what's going on?" He gulped down air before speaking to me.

"We're selling the capture soldiers; only the females aren't to be touched."

I spun my knife around my hand as I looked at him then nodded as I threw my knife at the tip of his paw. He jumped back and fell to the ground scaring him half to death. I grabbed my knife as he back away on all four. I started to walk forward, knife spinning as I walked. "You want to know something?" He stopped as his back was on a stone. "I hate slavery!" I yelled the last word making him jump as everyone looked at us. "I tore my way through an empire spanning a continent to destroy it I can and will do the same to anyone or any country who sees it as an option. But, I understand why you wish to gain from this. So, were going to do something we did in my homeland. "

"A-and that is?"

I smiled as I pulled a gem out of my side bag, then heated up my knife and cut an x into the gem. "It's called the right to the hoard. When we destroyed a large enemy force, their weapons were taken as anything of value. It's spilled into equal parts then shared out to the clan who fought in the battle. We have a massive surplus of weapons as well as items I know many counties don't make as well as some artwork they found in a giant safe. Split it up evenly with the yak and Menatore armies. I have plans to reward my troops." He nodded, then quickly rushed off the others immediately followed him. I huffed, then turned and looked at the angered Prince. I walked back up to him, and then we got into a staring match.

"You overstep!"

"You underestimate those you've faced. You think enslaving them as they have the females will change anything!? You will only breed more hate and thirst for revenge!"99

"You're a coward!"

This bastard swung on me, shocking everyone even the nobles around us gasped. A few jumped to stop us as I slammed him to the ground. I held him down by his throat knife on the ground a few feet away from us. A few of them grabbed, but when I looked at them, they backed off.

'Celestia and the griffon king are here.'

"You try that again, you damned griffon, and I'll make sure you can't ever move again!" I let him go as I stood up, leaving the prince on the ground, looking up at me then looked at the knife to the right of us. I smirked as I looked down at him then locked my hands behind my back. "You're free to go for it, prince. But, you pick it up, and you'll pay understand." He looked between me and the knife then reached for it. I threw a kick into his chest and sent him rolling. I nodded as the griffon king rushed over to him. I grabbed the knife then nodded my head. "Don't swing on a guy who's patience is already shot and tired as hell." He coughed a few times as his father helped him up as he held onto his chest. The father looked at me, a snarl on his face.

"You!"

I glared at him, and he froze as he looked at me. "I won't be nice this time." I smiled at the frown on the prince's face. "Princes your name."

"Steel Feather."

"Hm, fitting if you ask me. You have to have steel in your very soul to attack me. I respect that, but you'll need to work on speed and wait for the right moment. At the moment, say if you wanted to stab me in the back or cut my throat in my sleep, you'd have a good chance of getting it done. I used all my strength fighting Urgirth, so if anyone's to try their luck there free too." Nobody moved, and I smiled then stomped the handle of the knife, making it flip into the air. I caught the blade between my fingers. I threw it up then snatched then handle before turning. "Now, I have a dragon to deal with." Everyone cleared a path as I walked knife spinning around my hand.

"You seem upset."

Agapi walked up, bandages wrapped around her. "What happened?" She huffed then looked down at her arm.

"That dragons got me with his claws of his. But, a few of our dragons pined him the chained him down. "

"Ok, go get some rest I'll go and deal with Spike."

"Oh, the female dragons are asking to speak to the dragon lord."

I looked at her as we walked then I sighed as I stopped spinning my knife. "Chain them, then take them to my war tent, Ember, and the other leaders should be there."

"You got it."

We walked up to the cage's I had the griffons bring to see Spike's hands chained to the floor, giving him only four inches to move with his feet locked down to the floor of the cage. He had his tail and chest chained to the wall of the cage. I looked down at him, and he looked back up at me with a snarl on his face.

"Troy..."

I smiled as I waved over the griffon guards standing watch as Agapi took off the two females. A female guard quickly walked over with keys on her side. I pointed to Spike, and she nodded as she opened the door then I took the keys when Spike tried to move. "I got this."

"Suit yourself."

She quickly walked off as Spike glared at me. "You and I are going to get on the same page." I stabbed the knife into the ground and sat down in front of him on the grass then threw the keys to him. They landed right under his hand, then took them while looking at me.

"How is my mare?"

I smirked as I looked at him. "Lovely, and she loves our son more than life." He flashed fangs as he looked at me as his hands were freed. The started to uncuff his feet as I readied myself. I guessed right as the second his feet were free, he jumped at me. I pulled the knife then slashed him over the left eye as I dropped to the side. Spike screamed as he landed on the ground behind me. I turned to see him holding onto his face as blood came running out from under his hand. Guards and some of the medical staff came running as Spike rolled around, holding his eye. I nodded as I stood up, then walked over and reached down, then grabbed his shirt, pulling him up. I started to drag him over to some of the medical staff and held my hand out when I saw Fawn. "Can I please have some bandages and anything to keep his wound from getting infected."

"Sure, Troy."

She quickly pulled out what I asked for, then I turned and slammed my knee into the side of Spikes' head, knocking him out. His hand dropped, letting me see the cut I came. I saw the cut was shallow, but his eye would most likely be fine. I drug him outside of the camp but stopped halfway to the forest when I noticed someone above me. I looked up, seeing Bellezza looking down at me with Magma. "Sup, you two." Bellezza flew down with Magma close behind her.

"Were after him."

She pointed down to Spike, and I raised an eyebrow. Bellezza nodded then reached down and put a hand over his eye. She used her magic, and to my shock, it was the same as Urgirth's. I noted that for later as she pulled her hand back, letting me see the wound had turned to a scar. "Hm, interesting." Then I felt a strange energy from behind me. I turned my head, seeing the bag I have all the arms I 've taken in giving off a dark aura. I pulled it off my belt, and Bellezza looked at him.

"Can you hear that?"

I looked at her for a second, and then I threw Spike's body away as I opened then bag, seeing the darkness from the magic. "Bellezza, I know this will sound strange, but I want you to reach in here and take whatever your thing is making that sound." She looked at me for a second then looked at the bag then she stuck her hand in then moved it around. A second later, she pulled her hand out with Rongo Rongo in her hand.

"What is this book?"

I smiled as I closed and put the bag back on my belt. "This is an Imperial Arms from my home. It's called the complete book of the world Rongo Rongo. This book contained every single map in the world and included every detail about the mountains and lands. On the last page, there should be predictions of natural disasters that will happen in the future."

"What is an Imperial Arm?"

I sighed as I nodded my head then held my hand back out. She gave me Rongo Rongo back before I waved for her to follow. "Magma, please go tell everyone we'll be minute."

"Ok."

She flew off a second later than I turned then started to walk over to Spike. "Come on, Bellezza, I need to explain what an Imperial Arm is." She followed me as I dragged Spike. I explained how they work and my two as well.

"I see, so your weapons act as a certain death sentence, and the other is a seal for those killed by it. I must say those are some fearsome weapons to wield. And, since I could hear something from this book, I may be able to use it?"

"Ya, but if it's calling out to you can use it."

I pulled Rongo Rongo then held it out to her. "It's your now Bellezza, and I can't use it." She reached out and grabbed, but I didn't let go. She looked at me, and I spoke to her again. "Protect this with your life. Lose it, and you'll see me when I get angry." She nodded a scared look in her eyes. "Now head back." She nodded, then opened her wings and flew off as I looked back at then still out the cold Spike. "I need a place to leave you somewhere you'll have a chance." I looked around and saw a cave. 'There we go.' I. dragged him up to the cave and saw it went pretty far back.

'Master, we have enough left in the tank to make it safe for him in there.'

I froze the back of the cave shut then made bars strong enough to keep him safe but would melt away about a day later with this heat. I threw a few bottles of water out of from the supply bag I always had on my with side. With him locked away, I turned away, knowing he'd come right back to fight more. I leaned on a tree after a few minutes then sighed as I put my back on the tree and slide down the tree I hung my head and rested my arms on my knees as I sat there. I took a deep breath as I rubbed my eyes then looked up at the sky. "What the hell am I doing here."

"Your the only one who knows that."

I jumped up, hearing a woman's voice, and looked around. "Where are you!?"

"Don't forget where you came from, Troy Thanatos. You have more in you; then you may think you do."

I looked around as I pulled out the sword Nightmare gave me as I looked around. Then as I looked around, a flash came from between two trees. I covered my eyes with my arm, and I heard the voice again as I lowered my arm.

"Please take me to my fillies."

Celestia pov

I sat in the war tent Luna at my side with everyone waiting for Troy. As we waited, I looked around, seeing all the queens, but the Griffion queen were here.

"So, where is the commander?"

"We all know Troy when he goes off to do something he doesn't come back till it's done."

"C-Celestia Luna!"

We heard Troy yelling then he burst into the tent sword in hand as he looked at us.

"I... you.... Get out!"

He rushed back out, and we quickly followed him, and when we rushed out, I stopped as I looked at our mother. I was shocked as I looked at her as she stood there in a pearl white dress with her bright red mane with her soft blue eyes. She had the crown of Equestria on her face as she looked at us. She smiled and looked at my arm.

"My little sun drop, always so recluse."

She slowly walked over to me with a smile on her face.

"Mother!"

Luna jumped at her, pulling her into a hug, and our mother hugged her back. I smiled as I rushed up and wrapped my good arm around, and she shushed us as she ran her hand over my mane.

"I know, I know. I'm so sorry I was gone for so long, leaving you all alone in this world. But, never again, I promise."

I smiled as hugged her then a hand was placed on my back. I opened my eyes and saw Troy a smile on his face. I smiled as I looked at him and mouthed thank you to him.
