"He couldn't of gone far. Ormnal. Kinan, look for him now!" Vorust watched them leave the throne room. "Kyden, how do you like the throne room? It's all ours now." Vorust said, with a evil grin plastered across his face. "I like it." Kyden chuckled. "The prince will die soon, and we will be the new prince and princess." "We will indeed. I love you, honey." Vorust chuckled. *** Celestia poked her head out the door, and looked at one of the guards. "Guards, can you find captain Silver for me?" Celestia asked. The guard nodded. "Yes, princess. We will find him as soon as possible." The guard bowed and then dashed down the hall. Celestia closed the door. She looked at the baby and then nuzzled it. "Now what am I going to name you?" Celestia hummed. thinking. "Oh! I got it, I'm going to name you, Henrik. Do you like that name?" Celestia asked, nuzzling Henrik. Then she heard a knock on the door, she puts covers over Henrik, then she opens the door to see captain Silver. "Why have you requested me, princess?" Silver asked. "Come in Silver." Celestia said. Silver then, walked inside the room. "Now, what I tell I don't want you to tell anypony else, ok?" "Ok, I promise." Silver said, now curios about what she was going to tell him. She then walked towards her bed and lifted her covers. What silver saw made him shocked for a minute, then he snapped out of it. "Wa-what is that?" Silver asked, confused. "This is Henrik. As for species, I don't know what he is. A prince from another world gave him to me, he said he'd do anything to keep his son safe so I accepted." Celestia replied. "But it could be a threat." Silver warned. "He's only a baby." Celestia said sternly. "But when he grows up?" Silver asked. "The prince sent his own son to another world just to keep him safe, and I can raise him not to be violent." Celestia replied. "Wait, are you raising him or adopting him?" Silver asked, stunned. "Well I thought about it, and I decided to adopted him, until his father comes back." Celestia replied. "Well, I trust you." Silver said. "So you sent me here to see him?" "I needed to tell you that first, before telling you the real reason you were suppose to came here." Celestia replied. "Then what's the actual reason I came here?" Silver asked. "I need someone to foulsit him. So I was thinking- could you foulsit him?" Celestia asked. "I'm captain Silver shield, I can't simply foulsit, I have a squad to run and train. Maybe I can find somepony else." Silver replied. "Cadance might be a good suitor, if she wasn't off running the Crystal empire and all." "Ok, Silver I understand. Try to find somepony." Celestia said calmly. *** "Why have you called me in?" Lepar asked. "It's been almost one week sense my crew went to find the prince. Why haven't they arrived yet?" Vorust asked, as he looked out the window, looking at the dust filled land. Vorust saw craters everywhere from were bolts where shot. Bodies laying all around on the street where they were shot by bolts. Pillars that had fallen, rubble everywhere- This was once a good land, now just a crater of rubble. "I don't know, can we have search groups look for them?" Lepar asked. "Yes, do it right away." Vorust replied. Lepar turned around, looked at the door, then left the room. Vorust looked out the window again. The skies where filled with dust, and black clouds. 'This place has turned to hell.' Vorust thought. He could hear bits of thunder, here and there. *** Celestia heard a knock on the door. She decided too go to the door. She then open the door and saw one of the guards. "Yes, Blitz? What do you need?" Celestia asked. "Silver, sent me here, you're highness." Blitz replied. 'So this is who Sliver sent, hmmm.' Celestia thought. "Ah, come in." Celestia said. Blitz stepped into the room, he looked around a bit as he is barley able to go inside of it. But something cached his eye. Something on her bed, it was tiny, about the size of a filly. It reached out at him trying to grab his muzzle. Blitz smiled. "Who's this?" Blitz said, smiling at the baby. "This is Henrik, a prince from another world gave him to me, because he wanted to protect his son. So I need someone to foulsit him, so could you foulsit him?" Celestia asked. "Sure." Blitz replied, now nuzzling Henrik. This put a smile on Celestia's face. "I got to do my royal duties, hope you have fun with the baby." Celestia said. *** The door slowly opens revealing, Lepar. "Sir, we found them." Lepar said. "Well where are they?" Vorust asked. "Well, when we found them they where dead. Both of them where gutted alive, and there hearts are missing." Lepar replied. "That can't be the prince, the princes are pure blood, they would never kill, they would banish or knock out the enemy. So who is this new monster?" Vorust said. "Send twelve dozen troopers to find and kill this monster!" Vorust commanded. 'I want nothing too stand in my way. I want it dead!' Vorust thought.
