Though peace may have taken hold, it became a very lonely time for the King. He needed companionship. A call went out to all of the mares of the land. King Shadow Stormblade was looking for the perfect mate. Every mare in Equestria responded to the summons. With so many mares, he couldn’t choose! A harem was formed for him to pick and choose at his leasure. 

One pony that surprised him was Princess Cadence. Beautiful though she may be, she did spurn Shining Armor for a chance to earn the love of King Shadow Stormblade. Though she was kept in the harem, it was actually Shining Armor who captured the brave King’s heart. 

The day after arriving in Canterlot, King Shadow Stormblade married Prince-Consort Shining Armor. And they lived a happy life together forever, getting all of the stallion kisses either pony could ever want.
