Author's Notes:

This Chapter will contain less violence and will be shorter than usual, but it will contain more story important elements

Mathael sleep was restless as his worries grew large. The dangers that rose from the deepest depth, the fear from his worst nightmares and the lack of information that he was used to have plenty of. These were his worries that made him force his own body to fall asleep with the powers he gained from the lunar Princess.

The Princesses were not better of than him. Princess Celestia had trouble to sleep even though she had created an almost unbreakable sleep rhythm, but Mathaels words were just too much. He was a being that could do things all pony kind dreamed of. He was a fearsome warrior and an could cast spells beyond any ponies powers and yet, his words sounded as he was… scared? What could give a being that can crush worlds and gods alike fear? These thought and many more raced through her head as she tried to enter the realm of dreams.

Princess Luna had similar troubles. Although her hour of sleep was far from near. She also couldn’t get her head clear. She, like her sister, feared this ancient being too that Mathael wrote about. Yet she seemed to have most of her thoughts still directed at Mathael. Ever since he freed her, she was feeling weird. Ever since the moment she touched the essence of his very being. In that moment she felt warm. Maybe it was just because it was the first time someone has cared about her in a very long time, but the memory was still nice and enjoyable.

Next Morning

Mathaels eyes slowly opened as he just woke up from his slumber. He yawned and let a few joins pop in place before he even considered using his head for the first time of the day. After this important task was done, he careful hugged darkness in her sleep and kissed her on the cheek.

After this not so important, but nice task was done, Mathael got up. Firstly he made a big amount of food and consumed it at a rapid speed as he still had a few preparations that needed to be done.

Mathael walked down the secret passage down into his basement. Once there, he traveled to the area that had the greatest distance from the entrance. Once there, he used his reality warping powers to create a door that would keep anything out… or in

Once he was inside the room, he used his magic to make the room much bigger on the inside than on the outside. Afterwards he began to make the room even safer with so many safety spells that not even the super zombie blacklight zerg blue shadow mega virus could escape!

Now that all of the security measurement have been dealt with, he created a anti gravity field and a force field around the Crystallized Darkness so that he could inspect it with no need to damage it or himself. Mathael the opened the ninth metal vessel in which he stored the first few crystals he found and put them into the force field too. He was surprised to see that the Crystals instantly formed into one large cluster as if the tried to gain power through mass. They probably tried to become powerful enough to evilize Mathae. dumb crystals…

In the end Mathael had one two Crystals from dainns armor. four from the gargye. And most shockingly, One from his black vomit. He had so many theories, but since the writer was too lazy to write them down several times, the reader had to wait a little bit more.

Mathael inspected the crystals closely and could feel so much pain, suffering and many other bad things from the Crystal Cluster. After a while he decided that he couldn’t sit there all day so he created a small relic that would solve this problem. This relic would scan the Crystal very careful. Mathael simply poured a good bit of magic in it which would be considered overkill for any unicorn and left. He didn't had to use the relic on the Ninth Metal as he already had all needed information and didn’t need a sour back.

When he got back on the first floor, he noticed that it was only 6 am. Mathael then decided that he would use the time he had to spare to help Soothe Wing and Scootaloo and walked to the town hall. He enjoyed the walk as the sun only now rose to enlighten the world. No pony was in sight and silence reign over Ponyville. Beautiful.

Once he reached the mayor's office he instantly noticed a well aged mare with that held a cup of coffee in her hand and who locked like was close to fall asleep. No scratch that, she was asleep.

Mathael slowly walked in front of her and said.”Excuse me?”

”AHHH!”

*Shatter*

*Sound of a hot liquid hitting something*

*Drip*

Mathael a Stallion who is usually prepared for everything, was not prepared for being hit with a filled coffee cup. He could see that the Mare was shocked and scared that he hurt him, but since Mathael was immune to extreme temperatures that could easily melt metal or freeze lava, he didn’t have his face melted. Mathael snapped his finger to make the mess disappear and a new and refiled coffee cup appear on her desk.

Mathael then said.”No need to worry Mayor Mare. I am as far as I know, resistant to any kind of heat, fire and sometimes even molten metal so please stop worrying about my health, ok?”

Mayor Mare slowly nodded as she did her best to tell her mind that he is probably telling the truth as she didn’t want to make him angry after this ‘Incident’.

She then said.”W-well, how can I help you Mathael?” she sounded a bit nervous which was a expected reaction.

He said.”I would like to acquire a bit of land for a friend of mine. She is currently looking for a place to build a home. Could you help me with that?”

Mayor Mare nodded and said.”Of course. Is your friend possibly Soothe Wing?”

Mathael raised an eyebrow and said.”Yes? How did you know, if you don’t mind me asking.”

Mayor Mare answered.”Well she was here yesterday and looked through all advertisements for houses to be sold in Ponyville. I guess she didn’t find anything she liked?”

Mathael nodded and with that, Mayor Mare showed the Map once again. She said.”I would recommend the land between ‘the skyscraper’, ‘the northeastern windmill’ and the ‘pink tree plains’ as it’s a decent sized piece of land and is located near Ponyville.

Mathael nodded and said.”Very well Mayor Mare, I would like to purchase said land. How much would that cost me?”

Mayor Mare Answered.” that would be 8 thousand bits.”

Mathael nodded and decided to try and pay this without asking. He lifted his top hat, but it again just showed a smaller hat under it. and pulled out 8 gold nuggets and gave them to her.

Mayor Mare nodded in approval which made Mathael a bit happy that he figured out how the currency system worked. The Mare then put the gold nuggets in a vault and handed Mathael the deed of the land over. Mathael then said his goodbye and walked back to his mansion.

Once he reached his home after an pleasant walkthrough Ponyville, Mathael noticed that the other inhabitants of his home have woken from their slumber too and were currently sitting on a table while having sleepy eyes and yamining mouths.

Mathael said.”Good morning. How was your slumber?”

It took Darkness several moments to realize that Mathael said something. She then said.”Ohh. Hi Mathael, it couldn’t ha-*Yawn*-ve been better.”

Mathael raise an eyebrow and said.”You are not a good liar…”

Darkness sighed in defeat and said.”The Princess send me a letter that today I should be training the Guards a bit and to enhance my own skills too. I also missed my oversized plush.”

Mathael smiled and said.”So did I my cuddle pony.”

Darkness blushed a little from his complement. Soothe Wing who was brought back from her half asleep state found this moment just too cute to not ‘Aww’. Scootaloo on the other hand didn’t find this scene cute as she did a loud ‘Bleh’ which everyone heard.

(take this is the reaction of Mathael, Darkness and Soothe Wing)

Scootaloo closed her mouth with both of her hands as she felt so much killing intent from everyone, especially from her romance loving Mother.

Mathael then said.”Anyways… I’ll be making breakfast.”

Mathael then walked into the kitchen to make a big amount of food. He also created some halloween coffee from TGW, because he missed the taste of coffee a little. Afterwards he brought all the food to a table so that they could eat. Even though they already saw Mathael eat, the two pegasi were still amazed about the enormous amounts of food Mathael consumed.

When Mathael then took a sip and he was amazed of just how good it tasted. It was not bitter in the slightest, but sweet like candy with a bit of pumpkin flavor. He was in a tate of bliss till he heard something rip apart.

*Keriippp*

Mathael looked down and saw that his tie was not powerful enough to hold his muscles back. He now sat in front of two Mare who had their jaws on the ground. *Sight* 3...2...1...

*Pomf*

Yep. Their wings opened to their max and were stiff. Soothe Wing held her daughters eyes shut with one hand while trying to calm her wings with the other. Darkness on the other hand seemed to be not even bothered about this and was drooling.

Mathael quickly commanded his virus to calm his muscles asap! He then snapped his fingers and repaired his suit. Mathael then began to chuckle a little while rubbing the back of his head.

He then said.”Well… this was unexpected *Nervous chucking* could you maybe forget that this ever happened?”

Darkness immediately answered.”Nope. Never will I nor do I want too.”

Soothe Wing finally calmed her wings and said.”This was something different than I expected from this morning… not that I minded it.”

Scootaloo who has regained her sight, pouted and said.”I didn’t see anything. What were you even talking about?”

Mathael answered.”Adult stuff.” She was about to pout again, but Mathael instantly reacted and scratched her behind her ear to calm her. Both Mares were surprised how well he was with kids.Mathael then pulled out the deed for the land he purchase and showed it to Soothe Wing.

She said to our Protagonist..”I can’t take this Mathael. It’s too much.”

Mathael rolled his eyes and said.”Soothe. I insist you to take this. I mean it’s not like I have lost anything by buying it, besides I have no use for it, but you do. So please take it.”

Soothe Wing slowly extended her arm and grabbed the deed. She smiled at his kindness and said.”Thank you for making this possible, Mathael.” He was slightly confused. Yes this was a good piece of land, but this was a bit much.

Mathael then said.”I know that a deed for land is not that cheap, but isn’t that a bit much thank?”

Soothe Wings smile faded as she said.”You may not understand how much you did for me, but I do and I really appreciate it. I laid in that bed for two years Mathael. I was forced to see everything happen as if it was just a dream, but now I can do whatever. Do you know what it is for a felling to be free after so many years of imprisonment to finally see the sun again?”

*Shatter*

Everyone was looking from were that sound came till their eyes fell on Mathael who has crushed his cup with his bare hand. He was still gripping it tightly which did not result in damaging his hand, but turning the shards into dust.

Mathael then said.”Yes… Yes I do know what this feeling is miss Wing. I know it all too well… I’ll be going now...” And with that Mathael stood up and walked away.

Soothe Wing didn’t know what she did wrong and asked a very worried looking Darkness.”Did I say something wrong?”

Darkness sighted and started to explain everything he has told her about his past. His childhood, all those years he was a prisoner of his own mind and of his forced deeds, but she decided to not tell the part about him wanting to destroy Equus. Soothe Wing and scootaloo were on the edge of crying as they heard about his past and really felt sorry for him.

Mathaels POV

Mathael was not offended, but he was just really sad. He knew that she didn’t know, but he was till not in the mood with everything going on. He snapped his fingers to create a note which he pinned against the door and teleported himself on the newly acquired land.

Once there. He used his advance brain to create the best blueprints for Sothe Wings house with her memories and other genetic information like her favorite color. After a few moments he got a good idea and made a few hand signs before slamming both of his pals on the ground and saying "Wood Style House Formation". Like before, many roots shoot out of the ground and formed together a nice looking house. He also created furniture for the house.

After that was done, Mathael pointed his finger in front of him and said "Gate" which opened a portal through which he walked and was gone.

Darkness POV

After Darkness has told them about his past, everyone had tears in their eyes. Soothe Wing now really felt guilty for what she said, but how could she have know…

She then said with a sad voice.”I feel bad for Mathael. I didn’t even get a chance to say sorry.” was sad

Darkness said.”Come. It's never too late, we can still find him.”

Soothe Wing nodded while Scootaloo was till sniffing, but went with them. Once they opened the door to the outside world, they notice a note which said the following.

Dear Darkness/ Soothe Wing/ Scootaloo

I would just make clear that you words didn’t offend me, but it just made me sad. Please don’t feel guilty about it, you didn’t know.

The reason of my early departure was that I had to be punctual for a conversation with the Princesses about something very important that only they and I should hear. I am sorry to tell you this, but if you want to hear about it then you have to wait till I got clear information.

Lastly. I have build your house Soothe Wing. I hope you like it.

Yours sincerely,

Mathael

All three of them exhaled at the same moment as their worries about offending Mathael just went up in air. Though they were wondering what could be so important that the Princesses needed to hear about this.

With that. Soothe Wing and Scootaloo went to see their new home, spoiler they loved it. While Darkness had business in Canterlot too. She then used her ring of teleportation to quickly get to Canterlot.

A few minutes in the past with Mathael

Mathaels portal ended directly in front of the door of the throne room. The guard that were posted there instantly stiffed on sight of him. He rolled his eyes at their fear and was about to enter, but then he overheard the words of a noble.

“...And this is why you should help me fund a mining operation in the Everfree” said a Noble. Mathael could feel that the Princesses about to agree to his plan, but Mathael had other plans

Mathael opened the big double door and said the following while walking towards the throne.”And this is why you shouldn’t do that. The Everfree forest is one of the most deadliest places in Equestria which would result in many casualties if you decided to really do this mining operation. Even If you would survive the dangerous environment,deathtrap and wildlife you would be destroying the fauna’s habitat, which would mean they would have nowhere to go but surrounding villages such as Ponyville which would cause even more problems.

Everyone was silent as they heard Mathaels words. He continued.”And in the worst case you would be damaging the tree of harmony which would result in more disasters than I can count such as weakening Discords stone prison, that is already crumbling apart, even more.” he said in Morgan Freeman style

The Princesses were shocked about his knowledge of Discors prisons end, but what really made their jaw drop was the fact that he beat them at a game they or rather Celestia as been playing for the last thousand years called ruling.

The Noble who Mathael has put in his place said angrily.”Who do you think you are to just storm the throne room and ruin my plan!?!?”

Mathael countered.”The pony who actually cares about other lives who also has something much more important to discuss with the Princesses than bits.”

The noble was about to say something, but Princess Celestia interfered and said.”It’s alright sir Moneybag. We have personally asked for Mathaels to meet us to discuss important businesses.” The noble was not happy that his plan for fast bits was just destroyed, but this important information sounded interesting to him

He curiously asked.”And what are these important businesses?”

Princess Luna answered.”This information is limited to Mathel, my sister and me till we found enough out.”

Princesses Celestia then said.”The court is closed my little ponies. I wish you all a good day.”

And with these words the guards and noble began to slowly exit the room After a few minutes only the Princesses, Mathael and Moneybag who was slowly making his way towards the door. Once he reached it he turned around and looked at the last three ponies

He asked.”About the mining operation-.”

Princess Luna cut him off and said.”See it as denied sir Moneybag.” The Noble was not happy about the Princess decision and angrily walked out of the room before slammed the big double door shut. Once everypony, who was not needed left, Mathael walked towards the Princesses to begin a conversation

Mathael said.”Greetings Princesses. I sorry if have disturbed your little session there.”

The Princesses smiled and Celestia said.”You have nothing to apologize for Mathael. In fact we are happy that you have put an end to the endless noble requests.”

Princess Luna said.”Yes we are thankful although you said a few questionable things care to explain it to us?”

Mathael said.”Only if you answer one of my questions first:” The Princess nodded. He continued.”What happened to Moonlight? I haven’t seen her in a while.”

Princess Luna answered.”She is nocturnal, Mathael. She is spending most of her time at night like many Therestals here in Canterlot which is not as lonely as you might think.”

Mathael nodded and said.”Although I don’t know the durability of the tree of harmony it is still something that I don’t want to find out. Secondly yes Discords prison is falling apart since the elements of harmony are no longer bound to you which mean that he will soon be free and I can’t keep him in stone forever.” Of course he could, but he didn’t want to have a bit of his magic to be taken from him 24/7. The Princess were greatly worried by Mathaels words as they feared the return of Discord.

Mathael rolled his eyes and said.”Why so worried? I said that his prion is crumbling and not that it’s falling apart anytime soon. Now I did not come to talk about this certain draconequus, but for something much more serious, but first.” Mathael then snapped his fingers which made steel walls fall from nowhere in front of all windows, the double door and even the mouse hole! To top it up he also created a sound wall around the steel barriers to not only reinforce them, but also to make sure that what is said there would stay there.

The Princesses were shocked that their entire throne room was changing rapidly. In mere seconds the entire room was reinforced and completely dark. Then they heard a *Snap* loud snap and suddenly the entire room was brigned up.

The sudden light has blinded the Princess, but when they regained their vision again they saw something they did not expect. The was a giant cluster of purple crystals floating in the middle of the room. They were first confused what about this could be dangerous, but then they heard something disturbing.

*Crack*

Suddenly two small shards of the Crystal broke of and shot directly at the two startled Princess. To their luck, Mathael dashed between them and caught the shards before throwing them back at the cluster and casting a shield spell around it. The Princess exhaled, but then they looked at Mathael in horror as they noticed something disturbing.

Princess Celestia said.”M-Mathael? What happened to your hands?”

Mathael raised an eyebrow as he wondered what she meant. He slowly looked down upon his hands, but what he saw was something he couldn't believe . The Crystalized Darkness burned the flesh of his hands!!!

Mathael was shocked from this. A simple shard that melted his flesh away like butter?!?! He used the virus the repair his hands so that they could continue the meeting. Slowly veins, flesh, skin and fur were growing back. Also something that surprised Mathael a lot was the fact that scales were grown under his fur like on a lyoncate. Must have been one of the many DNA’s he collected that is responsible for this, not that he minded it.

After his wound healed, he looked back at the Princesses who looked disturbed from seeing this. Mathael said.”Is this reason enough to see the Crystalized Darkness as a thread to be reckoned with?”

The Princess who were still shocked asked.”What is this, Mathael?”

Mathael explained.”I called it the Crystallized Darkness. From what I gathered is that it is a Crystal that can turned any creature evil if it has enough mass to take over. It also seems to be part sentient as it didn’t just jumped at me to try and fail to take over me since that would lead to its destruction. The Crystal tried to take over you so that you would become its evil slaves and fight me.”

The Princess looked very worried. Princess Luna asked.”Is there anything else you know about them?”

Mathael nodded.”It seems like that these Crystals are created from a lot of negative emotions and death. My theory is that the one who is behind the monster attack is trying to gather enough of these gems to either take over everything or has a secret goal that I have yet to uncover.”

Princess Celestia asked.” How do you know that this being is so powerful?”

Mathael sighed and said.”Celestia. I have been on this world already in many places that contained a lot of misery, but each time only for a short period of time. I also blocked most of the energy to not be consumed by it or to create these Crystals. How many Crystals do you think the leader of the monsters has if he collected all of it in so many year? Or more importantly, how powerful is he if my powers are just enough to create them without being consumed by it?”

The Princesses eyes were filled with fear and their jaws hand wide open. A being as powerful as Mathael who is against them? They feared for their little ponies lives and the destruction that this being would cause.

Mathael teleport the cluster of Crystallized Darkness back to his secret lab and said.”I guess this was enough of striking fear into your hearts. I’ll be going then, have a nice day.”

The Princesses were brought back from their thoughts as Mathael made an escape attempt. To prevent this, Princess Celestia teleported in front of Mathael.

She then said with a smile.”Aren’t you forgetting something?”

Mathael frowned and said.”Why me… I am a warlord and not a ruler so why me…”

Princess Luna walked behind him and said.”You may not think much of yourself, but you are the best pony to become king we have seen in our long time of ruling. You don’t care about riches (‘Because I can make it rain gold...’), you don’t care about fame (‘I just don’t like to be threatened like a celebrity...’) ,you are kind and good hearted (’Have you seen what I do with my enemies!?!?!’) and lastly you have no desire to become king or want to rule (’isn’t that reason enough to not make me king?’)

Mathael sighed loudly and said.”Why faust… just why does everyone want me to lead them…”

Suddenly Mathaels glove appeared and one gem started to glow in a yellow light.”You are destined to be more than just a warrior Mathael… ”

Mathael face palmed with such strength that it created a small shockwave. He just got destroyed by the pony goddess herself…great, just great…

Mathael then looked at two princesses who looked at him with puppy eyes which was slowly strangling his two times too small black petrified heart. He then said grumpily.”Fine…”

Darkness Pov

Darkness has just arrived in Canterlot Castle and has made her way towards the barracks where she will train the guards today. On her way there, she noticed that some guards who were patrolong through the Castle, gave her strange looks.

Once she reached the barracks all eyes were instantly on her without even saying anything which was a surprise for her since it normally took yelling to accomplish this outcome.

Darkness asked.”Okay. What is with all these looks today?” The Guards looked at another till one of them came out of the group

The Guard said.”Is it true that you with the Demon?”

Darkness frowned and said.”It’s Nephalem and yes, I am. Why do you ask.”

Another guard came and said.”But why would you be with this Nephalem. Is he forcing you.”

one pegasus guard spoke up.”Yes. Why did you choose to be with a monster and not a pony?”

Darkness looked grim and said.”Because he was different that any other pony I have meet till now. He didn’t care for my looks or my rank, but just saw me as I was. Isn’t it quit funny? A how you say ‘Monster’ is nicer than any other Stallion I have met?”

Everyone was shocked at her words and sad at the same time. They thought that a Demon was the worst of the worst and yet their own captain is telling them that this hellish being was better than them

She then added.”Also he heard every word that you have just said. I recommend now to behave. We begin with a bit of running, come on!” The Guards were scared for their lives as Darkness said this. They decided to not risk their lives and run along as they feared Mathaels might backhand, but to their luck, our Protagonist didn’t hear their conversation because of the sound wall.

Back to Mathael

The Princesses and Mathael were currently standing in front of a giant mountain of books that Princess Celestia has teleported to them.

She said.”These are all books that you will have to read to understand the means of ruling, Mathael.”

Mathael was shocked about how many! Books were there. He used his reality warping powers to enhance his brain power to new levels. He made all books levitate in super speed in front of him, turn over all pages in half a second and put them beside him. In 2 minutes he has read through Equestrias entire political system.

Mathael then said.”Well that was interesting, but I have broken many laws such as the mastery of necromancy, studying of shadowmany, being a zen master of Dark- and Blood Magic and well, murder as you saw what I did with Swift Wing.”

The Princesses had their jaws on the ground as they have just heard Mathael telling them that he broke more laws than king Sombra!

Princess Luna asked.”But how didn’t you turn into a cold hearted monster or why did you even learn the dark arts?”

Mathael answered.”No pony was ever able to perform true dark arts.”

Princess Celestia said.”King Sombra was a master of the dark arts.”

Mathael said.”No he wasn’t. Dark magic is something that does not corrupt you mind, but is much, much harder than normal magic, but a lot more effective. What King Sombra did there was not pure Dark Magic as he turned into a mindless monster. My best guess is that someone corrupted him, maybe it were the umbrum or something along the lines.”Both Princesses wanted to ask how he knew this, but Mathael added.”Don’t ask how I know this, but I figured as much since even I had trouble using them after I stole the power from masters of the true dark arts that I killed and consumed.”

Princess Luna was completely shocked. Mathael is on their world not even two weeks and has already found out more about pony history than they did. Princess Celestia was shocked too, but she saw this as a good thing as he seemed to be very good at what he does and was on Equestrias side.

The Solar Princess then said.”Now that you have apparently learned years of learning materiel, how about we show you what you can do at the Grand Galloping Gala such as dancing or playing music.”

Mathael still didn’t want to go to the super snob convention, but the Girls wanted him to go there so he had no other choice.

Gary sue- I mean our Protagonist said.”I can dance and playing an Instrument is not very hard.”

The solar Princess raised an eyebrow and asked.”Really? Not to offend you, but are sure.”

Mathael said.”Yes I can, but I have no problem with showing it. would you mind an demonstration?.” Princess Celestia was about to accept a little dance, but Luna interfered by walking in front of her sister

The lunar Princess said.”It would be a pleasure.” Mathael was surprised for her to just jump at this opinion, but was confused why Princess Celestia was looking at her sister with envy.

Mathael then created a few instruments and used a bit of his magic to make them play themselves for the dance. Our Protagonists then held both of Lunas hands which made her blush and began to slowly do the walzer steps.

Mathael did the first few steps slowly for her to catch up. Mathael told Luna.”Simply remember. one, two and three, follow my lead and you shall see the beauty of this dance, but add a four and wrong you go.” It took Luna a few moments till see she was able to follow the dance, but after the fourth try she was able to do it. Mathael then made the instruments play and started to sing a little to give her a rhythm.

Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Ponies prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart
Used to know
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Ponies prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart
Used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GMbHIQ-40w

At the end of them song, Mathael catched luna as she misunderstood that she was not supposed to literally fall. She blushed hard as she was only a few inches away from his face. He then helped her up.

Princess Celestia was deeply surprised that Mathael had such a talented voice and could play several Instrument at once so well, but she was still jealous that her sister stole her dance

Luna on the other hand felt that warmth again. She has seen many pony mares dream about this, but this was the first time she experienced it herself and it was perfect.

Mathael then said.”I think this would be enough for today.” Both Princesses were sad that it ended since it meant that they would have to return to do their work as rulers again. Mathael snapped his fingers to undo all security measurements he has done

Suddenly he heard something that made his blood boil. Our Protagonist then said while running into the hallway.”Have a nice day Princesses and prepare a funeral!” The Princess were confused what he ment.

Darkness POV a few moments ago

Darkness has just finished the training for the Guards and was a bit tired while everyone else was lying on the floor due to too high exhaustion. After a few moments of resting, a new voice could be hear entering the barracks.

A Therestal noble walked into the barracks. he looked like the standard noble. A expensive suit, a bit too much jewelry and a smile that just screamed to be ripped of.

The Noble asked.”May I ask who is captain Darkness Bloodheart?”

Darkness was surprised that a noble would want to talk with her. She casually walked in front of the noble.

Once she stood in front of him, she said.”That would be me. Why do you ask?”

The noble looked at her body from the bottom to the top. He then said.”Ahh it’s nice to see my future bride.”

Darkness was confused what he meant with that while every guard now was trembling as they feared the wrath of Mathael which could only be invoked through bad mouthing or taking Darkness away from him.

Our Protagonists Mare raised an eyebrow and asked.”What do you meant with that? I don’t even know you.”

The noble smiled and said.”Your father, Blood Tooth has given me the allowance to marry you which is exactly what I will do.”

Darkness was shocked to the core that her father would just sell like this.she said with disgust.”I don’t care what my father says. I am in love with Mathael and I am not going to marry you!”

The noble who didn’t know who Mathael was and only cared about the power he would gain through marrying Darkness said.”You are choosing a commoner over me! This is not your choice because I am a noble and can do whatever I want!”

He grabbed her by the arm with force. Every guard was sweating bullets as they saw being Violated by a Noble being violated. Suddenly everyone heard and saw a certain being screaming while running at them with tremendous speed.

"Don't you dare to touch her you piece of trash!!!"

(The nobles reaction)

Mathael heard what this super snobby Bastard has said and done to Darkness. Our Protagonist wanted nothing more than to just squash him, but he decided against it as he couldn’t just kill anyone who annoys him… okay he could, but he shouldn’t

Once he came in reach, he grabbed the noble by his clothes before lifting this piece of trash two feet above the ground and said.”Did you seriously think that just because you have a title that you can do whatever you want!?!?! The answer is no you can’t!”

The noble said.”You dare to touch me?!?! I will have your head for this! Guards take him to the dungeon.” Not a single guard moved a centimeter as they feared Mathael more than death. The noble was confused and asked.”What are you doing!?!? Why aren’t you attacking him!”

One unicorn Mare spooked up.”Because we can’t do anything to him.”

A pegasus Stallion said.”He is the only being that can literally do whatever he want since there is no one powerful enough to stop him in this kingdom.”

Darkness said with a grin.”He is Mathael.”

The noble just realized who he messed with. He only heard rumors of an powerful being beating the guards up, but now he made him angry.

Mathael said in a demonic voice.”You will go away and never even come close to Darkness as you don’t deserve her, you will tell everyone you know to never mess with her or you will have a picnic 6 feet under!! Understood?!”

Mathael then let the noble on the ground, but he was still shivering like he had an ice bath on the north pole.. Mathael rolled his eyes at this sight. He pointed his finger at the crybaby and said ”Aura of despair level 1” which created a small energy wave that made the nobel fall to the ground unconscious

*Thud*

his attention to his love and asked.”He didn’t hurt you, did he?”.

Darkness went over to Mathael and hugged him. She then said.”Not too much.” She then looked at the shivering guards and said.”And this is why I like Mathael more than normal Stallions.” The male guards were still shivering in fear while the Mares were rather jealous at Darkness.

Mathael smiled and said.”Come on Darkness. I am done with my plans for today. How about we go somewhere nicer.” Darkness nodded and with that Mathael and Darkness left the Castle.

Once outside, Mathael grabbed Darknesses hand and for once flapped his own wings wich made Darkness make a loud ‘eep’ sound as the two of them flew into the sunset.

Darkness has never flown as fast as in that moment. Yes she traveled with Mathael in that sound bubble thing, but she has never felt the air shot against her fur with that strength and she liked it, she felt really alive.

After a few moment of flying with super speed the two of them landed on the highest of all clouds that Mathael could find. To his surprise, Bat Ponies can’t walk on clouds which gave our Protagonist a heart attack as he jumped of the cloud and dive bombed for Darkness, but then he stopped and facepalmed as he saw that his love had wings too…

Mathael then used a bit of his magic so that Darkness who was confused why he could stand on the cloud and she couldn’t, would be able to enjoy the fluffiness of the cloud too.
The two of them laid there for a few moments. Mathael then asked.”Isn’t this beautiful Darkness?” *Snoring*. “Darkness?” *louder Snoring*.” Are you listening to me?” Mathael then looked at his love and saw that she was in a deep sleep. He decided to just lay beside her for a while.

After one hour. Mathael was done with lying lazy on a cloud, how was Rainbow Dash able to do this without dying of boredom? He then teleported Darkness on their bed and was about to return home too, but then he heard a loud sad sight from Canterlot Castle, thanks to his Superhuman Hearing

Princess Lunas Bedchamber

Princess Luna luckily didn’t had to deal with curt today as too many noble were scared to see Mathael… She didn’t know what was wrong with her today. Maybe a bit of fresh air would be good for her.

She walked to the balcony and looked up into the sky were her previous night sky could be seen war and wide. Normally this sight would make happy, but it didn’t cheer her up this time. In her confusion she quietly said.”*Sigh* Mathael… I wish you could tell me what’s is wrong with me.”

Suddenly a voice came from above her.”You just have to ask if you need my help.”

Princess Luna yelped in shock as she didn’t expect an answer. After she calmed herself she looker at the roof and saw Mathael who was sitting there. She asked.”H-hello Mathael. May I ask what you are doing here so late?”

Mathael looked down at the Princess of the Night and said.”I just heard you long and sad sight. Is something wrong? Were the informations of today too much?”

Princess Luna sighed again and said.”N-no it’s just that I have been feeling weird lately.”

Mathael was confused what she meant. He snapped his fingers which levitated Luna up with him on the roof where he put his hand on her forehead to see if she’s sick. The result was that she was healthy, but she was as red as a tomato.

Michael said.”Well you are not sick, that much I can tell. It’s probably just something emotional.”

Princess Lunas eyes widened as she just seen the signs. The weird feeling she felt when she was around him could it be love? It had to be. She was ashamed of the fact that she, unlicker her sister never had a lover, but maybe now. She just had to try it out.

Mathael was getting worried as the Princess got redder and redder the second while not saying a word. He was about to say something, but the answer he got was something he didn’t see coming. She kissed him

*Thud*

Mathael, one of the most powerful and dangerous beings in the creation was beaten by a kiss. First weaponized rainbows, then crystal hearts and now kisses? Evil !

Mathael then slowly rose up from the ground and looked at a scared Luna. He said.”Don’t tell Darkness about this.”

Princess Luna was sad that she just ruined her chance to find love because she got curious. She then said while looking like she was on the edge of tears.”I am sorry Mathael. I just thought I could find love by joining your herd. I hope we can still be friends.”

Mathael tilted his head to the right and asked.”What is a herd?”

Lunas eyes widened as she heard this. maybe she still had a chance.”Mathael. when I would ask you how a relationship goes, what would you say.”

Our Protagonist was confused what she meant simply answered the question without asking questions.”A relationship is when to being love another and want to be together. why do you asked? Isn’t this every like this?”

Princess Luna answered.”Here in Equestria we females outnumber the Males 1 to 10 due to that, Stallions can have multiple relationships.”

Mathaels jaw hit the ground as he just now got to know that this world was closer to Don’t Get Cocky than he originally thought. He then said.”So that’s why I have almost only seen Mares. I thought all Stallion had to join the Royal Guard once they reached a certain age.” Our Protagonist than looked at Princess Luna whose eyes were filled with hope and tears

Mathael smiled and said.”If that is the case then I’d be honored to be your lover miss Luna.” The Princess of the night had tears in her eyes as she had finally found love after over 1200 years. She hugged him and cried at his chest.

Mathael said during the hug.”Here’s a little secret of mine. Before I have set foot on this world for the first time and met Darkness, you were my favorite pony, my little Princess.” Hearing this made the Princess smile.

Darkness POV

Darkness slept tight, but suddenly as if she felt a disturbance in the force, she rolled to the other side of the bed and a small smile formed on her face. After a few moments she continued to sleep.

Back to Mathael

After a few moments the two of them laid on the roof and looked at the stars. Mathael loved looking into the night sky as it made him feel small. Don’t get him wrong, being strong and have others look at him with awe... or fear is cool, but it can get pretty anyong after a while.

Princess Luna said.”Isn’t it beautiful.”

Mathael smiled and said.”Yes it is. It makes you wonder what is out there and how many things there are to be seen which there are many of, but my favorite star is missing.”

Princess Luna enjoyed his choice of word, but was confused what he meant with missing?. She asked.”What do you mean with ‘missing’?.”

Mathael said.”There is a star which glows stronger and more beautiful than any other star. The north star which can be seen from many worlds, but in this one it is not there.”

Princess Luna was sad that a star that seemed to amazing was not here in her collection. Mathael then rose from the roof and gathered massive amounts of magic, he then snapped his fingers and what Princess Luna saw blew her mind away. She saw as a new star appeared on her night sky. A star that was exactly like Mathael told her, but to her surprise the entire sky glowed like the polar lights, but a bit more dim.

Mathael too was surprised that this happened as he just meant to create a star. He probably has just blown too much magic into the sky. Afterwards he gave Luna a hug and said goodbye before flying of into the night.

Princess Luna flew of the roof shortly afterwards and walked to bed, but before she drivted of into the realm of sleep, she enjoyed the moment and began to think a little like how she would tell this to her sister the best way… which was to rub it under her nose of course.

Back to Mathael

Mathael has just arrived home and walked to his bed. During his walk through the silent halls of his mansion, he began to think how he would tell this to Darkness the best way. Would she be angry? Sad? Happy? or would she like it… or who was he kidding, she would probably like it a bit too much.

Once her reached the bedroom, he put on his pajama and laid into bed besides Darkness. Mathael then felt someone hug him and heard her mumbling. his love mumbled.”Luna… Herd… Mathael”

Mathaels felt dread running down his back while thinking this.’Pretend you’re sleeping….Pretend you’re sleeping….Pretend you’re sleeping.’ he thought this before falling asleep
