Author's Notes:

WARNING there are some mature parts in this it is not sex or nudity but it is a little mature

“So you created this order of the golden Cross so they could not track you to ponyville and you have been recklessly attacking their basses and now you have at least a hundred people wanting to join this made up order not only that but their are spies among the nobles and guards .” Twilight said summarizing everything I told them and I nodded.

“And I am asking you to keep it a secret if they learn who I am they will attack Ponyville.” I said and they agreed and Twilight said.

“As much as I don't like it we don't have a choice.” She said and we all nodded and they all went home and I was left alone and I just went through the new information I got from the training camp it seems all of the titan were sent to the store houses except for the three I got.

After that it was getting dark and I went to bed.

{Next Morning}

After walking up I grabbed something to eat and went outside and I saw one of the ponies that I saved.

“Hey did you guys get to the cave alright?” I asked and he nodded.

“Well I will summon the titans that will train you.” I said and searched through my pockets and I found Sabriel, Melee Artist and Sorcerel and I also pulled out Powerbounded Shifter and I summoned them.

“Led them to the cave they will be your teachers.” I said and they followed him into the Everfree and I waited for a minute before the guards arrived.

“So have you thought about what I said.” I said and them nodded and I summoned the same titans and the unicorns cast the barrier and it started and I was surprised they actually did think about what I said the Pegasuses were now trying to herd the Enforcers in one spot and the unicorns fired into that one spot where they were herded.

The earth ponies surrounded the Freelancers before closing in on them and overwhelmed them.

They were sent back to the amulets and I clapped. “Very good you improved a bit but you know what titans you were facing it is likely you will never face the same titan twice so now we will switch to a different titans.” I said and they nodded and I searched through my amulets to see what I could use.

“Ok then what I am about to show you is a titan with a rare ability I only know two titans that have this ability but it is best to be prepared.” I said as I summoned Gybolg.

“And what is this ability?” Asked a unicorn mare.

“The ability to create minions so theses titans could be considered generals or commanders.” I said and another unicorn raised their hand.

“Yes.” I said.

“Is there an effective strength against them and how many can they make?” He asked.

“Well I do not know if there is a limit but the best strategy is to take out the titan that made the minions once he is defeated the minions die.” I said and they all nodded.

“But you can't except these types of titans to be unguarded this titan can be a very crucial asset in a fight so there can be defensive titans guarding him but for the first time we will go with him alone.” I said and they physically relaxed.

Gybolg made a dozen Calbolg and they stood in a line and lowered their barbed spear.

“Ok let's begin.” I said and they charged and so did the Calbolg and Gybolg was right behind them the Pegusesses flew over the Calbolg and went for the Gybolg while the others fought the Calbolg.

“Not bad.” I said as I watched them.

But it won't be that easy Gybolg is more than capable of defending himself.

He swung his large sword around knocking a few of them out of the air and on to the ground and a few of them out of the barrier and the unicorns and Earth ponies were working together to fight the Calbolg the Unicorns using fire based spell to light them on fire and the earth ponies trying to keep them still while they were light on fire.

After a few minutes only three of the guards remained but they won.

“You guys did good today I am very surprised at how you have improved.” I said and they all smiled and training was over for today and they all left and I ran to the orchard to see Applejack.

After entering the orchard I went to our usual spots it took a while to find her but I did and she was doing her thing kicking trees and collecting apples.

“Hey Applejack.” I said and she turned around and smiled as she ran towards me and tackled me to the ground laughing.

“Well someone is hyper today.” I said and she kissed me.

“Well Nightmare night is coming up.” She said.

“Nightmare night?” I asked and she rested her head on my chest.

“It is a Night were we all dress up in costumes and we Celebrate a night based around Nightmare moon.” She said.

“We have a similar holiday called Halloween.” I told her and she just laid on my chest.

“Want to get off me?” I asked and she shook her head and she moved to where we were face to face.

:I want to stay like this for a bit can you summon some of you titans to do it today?” She asked as she nuzzled me and then I summoned Gybolg and he created Calbolg to help him gather the apples and Applejack was sitting against a tree and my head was in her lap.

“You know we have been very touchy with each other recently haven't we. I said and she looked to the side and back to me and she nodded before running her hand through my hair It has been growing a bit recently, maybe I should have it cut soon it has gotten to my shoulders now I wonder what style I could go for.

“Hey Noah.” I heard Applejack say.

“Yeah” I said.

“I was wondering if I could stay with you for a bit there is something coming up in ether a few weeks or a month or two and I want to be with you and don't bother asking what.” She said and it was time to get up and we took the apples to the barn and we decided to get some customers so we decided to go buy some.

“So have any thoughts?” I asked Applejack and she gave me a smile.

“I have a few.” She said and went off on her own and I went to find my own costume.

“Lets see there are a lot maybe I should get a few just in case.” I said to myself as I looked through them there were vampire doctor monster and others as well.

I grabbed a few of my sizes and went to try them on I didt really like any of them so maybe I can get rarity to make me something.

I went to go see how Applejack was doing and it looks like she had a dozen costumes in her bag.

“Are you not getting a costume?” She asked and I shook my head.

“None of them were my style plus I have an idea what I want to wear.” I told her and she nodded and I paid for her costumes even though she wanted to pay for them and we left the market and a few hours had passed since we went to them market and we went home she got stuff from her house and said she explained what she wanted to do to her family.

“So what do you want for Dinner?” I asked.

“I don't know.” She said and I just started making something and when it was finished I vegetarian pasta.

“I think I made a little much I think I can summon a Titan to eat with us.” I said and she smiled and nodded.

“Anyone you want to eat with?” I asked.

“Dark Dryad I kind of like her.” She said and I summed her and I placed a plat in front of her and I also placed in front of Applejack and then I got my plate.

“So after dinner why don't we all go to bed.” Applejack said and I was in mid chew before I stared at her.

“Including Dark Dryad?” I asked and she nodded.

“If you leave me again if she uses me like a teddy bear I am going to use Skingrip to tie you to the roof for an hour.” I said and she was chuckling as she ate her food.

After eating I sent a letter to Rarity explain what I wanted my costume to look like along with the payment.

When I got to my room Dark Dryad and Applejack already took the sides only leaving the middle for me and I sighed and got in the middle and went to sleep.

{Morning}

I woke up with something heavy on top of my vision was blurry since I just woke up.

“Applejack is that you?” I asked and the figure on top of me only lifted their head and looked at me.

“Yeah.” I heard from a sleepy Applejack.

“Is this you on top of me or Dark Dryad my vision is a little blurry right now.” I said and I heard her chuckle and say.

“Yes.” She said and I smiled then used a move my father taught me and now I was on top and I pressed my lips against hers and I closed my eyes her lips were very soft and I grabbed her wrists and held them over her head and I continued to kiss her repeatedly slipping my tongue in and out of her mouth.

After a few minutes of making out and kissing I opened my eyes to see Dark Dryad below me with a bright green blush on her face and she was breathing heavily as her chest rose and fell as she stared at me with half lidded eyes.

“Wow, for once I don't regret lying.” I heard from beside me and I saw Applejack lying right next to Dark Dryad with a blush in her face.

I just got out of bed and headed down stairs not even bothering to talk to Applejack.

I just made myself a bowl of cereal before I heard. “Noah are you ok?” Applejack asked.

“No I’m not why did you do that you know how I feel about my titans and we are in a relationship don't you think that is cheating.” I said almost yelling.

“What do you mean?” She asked.

“Relationships are supposed to be between two people.” I said and she had a look of realization.

“Oh I’m sorry partner I thought you knew.” She said.

“Knew what.” I said crossing my arms and leaned against a counter.

“That is it common for ponies to form herds you see their are less stallions that mares so we compensate using herding .” She said and I rubbed my forehead.

“You see if you had told me something like that sooner I might have been a little less angry and why do you do what you did this morning?” I asked her and she put her arms behind her back and used one of her hoofs to trace the floor.

“Well I wanted you to have the best you have done so much for me you helped with the farm you gave us bits to pay our taxes you saved my little sister and so much more and I wanted you to be able to be with your titans as well and from what I just saw Dark Dryad likes you so maybe you can just try it and it doesn't work out I’ll stop trying ok.” She said as she walked over to me and hugged me and I sighed and wrapped my arms around her.

“Ok I will give this a chance but only this once if me or my titans don't like it we won't try again we will just go with Dark Dryad for now then my Sekhmet if it works our ok.” I said and she nodded as she put her head on my shoulder.

“So when is this nightmare night event again?” I asked.

“Tomorrow I believe.” She said.

“Well I guess I should resend the titans to the cave and train the guards want to watch?” I asked and she nodded and I sent Sabriel, Sorcerel and Shifter back to the cave and we waited outside for the guards.

After they arrived a guard asked. “Is it ok to have a civilian here sir?” One asked and I nodded.

“Ok for today were are not going to go with Gybolg again I need to keep you on your toes one day you might fight one titan then next you might fight something entirely different so you need to adjust your strategy accordingly.” I said and they nodded.

I summoned my three Sekhmets.” I am sure you remember these but never fought them they are very skilled in close quarters combat.” I said then Dark Dryad walked out of the house and I yelled.

“Hey Dark Dryad why don't you join!” I said and she ran over she still had a blush on her face but it quickly went away as she stood beside the Sekhmets.

“Dark Dryad here is a krono titan the majority of them are also warriors but this one is able to control the plants and is able to create vines that come from her arms.” I said and the fight began after the unicorns cast the barrier.

It immediately went south for the guards the Sekhmets quickly overpowered the earth ponies and Dark Dryad ensnared the Pegasuses in her vines and then after that her vines traveled underground and then grabbed the unicorn leaving them no time to cast spells.

“Well I can not really say I am surprised sorry about that.” I said and they all recovered and nodded.

“Ok you guys can do independent training today.” I said and they went off to train and we went to the orchard for another day of work we brought the titans with us and before we had a chance to start Applejack stopped me.

“I know this might be asking much but spend a little time with Dark Dryad me and the Sekhmets can take over for today there is not much to do today ok?” She asked and I sighed and nodded.

“Hey Dark Dryad let’s go somewhere” I said and she blushed and followed me into an open field and we laid down in the grass.

“Applejack wants you and maybe some other of my titans to join our relationship what do you want?” I asked as I turned my head to look at her and she was looking at me with a blush on her face and she rolled on top of me and she leaned down and kissed me then grabbed me and rolled over so I was on top and our lips slowly parted with a trail of saliva between us.

“So I guess your a bit submissive aren't you?” I asked and she blushed and averted her eyes then nodded before I kissed her neck and I could hear her moan and I decided to let my hands roam a bit caressing her curvy body and I moved up from her neck to her lips and she began clinging to me tightly and then I decided to end it there for now.

“Sorry if we continue we might go a step too far and I want Applejack to be my first so wait just a little longer.” I said and when I looked in her eyes they were filed with pure lust and she looked ready to rip my clothes off but she let go and I gave her one last kiss just below the neck and we got up and went back to help Applejack she already finished everything and we took it all back to the barn and Applejack said that after Nightmare Night they were going to start making cider and she was going to show me how to make it with her.

After returning home Applejack asked.

“Hey maybe we can get her costumes too, so can you give me some bits so we can go shopping?” She asked.

“Sure but I am going to give you some protection in case those degenerates try to get payback.” I said and summoned Kilthane to go with them and she nodded and I gave her about 2 hundred bits she said it was to much but I said she might need to custom order because of her height so it might be needed and they walked away.

And now it was time to do my work as a duke now and it was simple as always requests for rain that I accepted and it looks like there was another building request in the same spot as last time.

“At least this time they are telling me what the building is.” I said nd it seems it was a new store that would sell many things such as clothes, food and furniture and I approved the request and set it to the side so I can look at what's next and the rest was the usual complaints that could be ignored and I finished it and then there was a knock on the door and Applejack and Dark Dryad walked in and Dark Dryad was carrying a large bag.

“We got the stuff for her and I wanted to ask something?” Applejack asked.

“What?” I asked.

“If it takes your energy to summon them what is keeping her out?” She asked.

“Well it takes my magic to keep her out but with my training the cost is minuscule so I don't even feel the drain but bring them out is what cost a lot of energy.” I said and she nodded and I saw Kilthan return to his amulet.

“So can you give me any clues to what you are going to be?” I asked and they shook their heads.

“Well we should get things started I have to go to Rarities to get my customer since they did not sell what I want but first I must grab something.” I said as I went to my room and grabbed the Pharaoh's crown and headed to Rarities.

After getting to Rarities I walked inside and she was waiting for me.

“Good evening Darling I have your costume ready even though I hano no Idea what it is.” She said and opened the curtain to reveal my costume [without the head dress].

“It is a Pharaoh costume Pharaohs are kings of Egypt.” I said and she smiled and I tok the costume off the manikin and I ran home to hide it I if they won't tell me I won’t tell them what mine is and I quickly hid it under the bed and I had a thought that I would have to talk to a doctor about.

“Well what do you guys want to eat tonight?” I asked them Dark Dryad smiled and went to the kitchen and I followed her in she stopped me and leaned down a bit [ and I think I forgot to type this but Dark Dryad 6 foot 5 and this is a guess it does not tell me like most of the titans] and kissed me and gently pushed me out of the kitchen and when she was down she came out with two different dishes for me she made a steak with a side of mashed potatoes and for her and Applejack she made salads with a few apple slices in it. After eating we went to bed I tried to sleep on the side but they kind of forced me in the middle of them and they both clung to me as they went to sleep.
