fuel to the flame
Nightshade sat in the haze of the moment, Windbreaker had come all this way to see her and try to rekindle their relationship. And she had pushed him away, and the pain and fear of losing him made her feel stuck in place. Metamorph walked up to her side and snorted
“I was wondering how long it would take get rid of him, griffins are so territorial and rude,”
He stomped a hoof before looking down at her
“hey, are you okay Nightshade?”
He said with deep concern in his voice.
“I….I didn't want to do this, I…I need to go,”
She got up but kept her eyes off of him and walked out of her room slowly
“I'll see you later Morphy.”
She walked through the castle to a balcony that seemed to overlook ponyville and she sighed as she sat down and looked out at the sky as the sun went down. She leaned over the rail and folded her ears back
“what's wrong your highness? Something bothering you?”
Windbreaker said as he walked up behind her. She quickly turned her head and looked at him
“why would you care? I've already made you hate me,”
She turned away from him and ran a hoof over the rail and stared down at it as he moved to sit down beside her.
“I could never hate you my little starburst, I just don't like knowing that we aren't together anymore,”
He looked at her and lifted a wing to cover her back
“I understand that you've moved on and I still love you, but we're just not as close as we used to be.”
Nightshade nodded and lifted her head to look at him
“thank you for understanding Windbreaker,”
Just as the moon began to rise two royal guards ran to them
“your highness, the prisoner is trying to escape,”
Nightshade got up quickly and made her way to the dungeons of the castle and ran to Valour’s cell. She glared at him and he stepped back from the bars
“what is wrong with you? Are you suddenly too hungry to be civilized?”
She said angrily
“well if it isn't the tiny princess, what are you going to do, Hug me to death?”
he shot back as her smirked
“the only reason why you are alive right now is because I don't know what your leader will do if he found out that you were dead. Besides, I don't hug I crush,”
Nightshade said as she fixed her mane and the guards followed by Windbreaker ran down into the corridor.
“Oooooo, how terrifying, I'm practically shaking in my horseshoes,”
He said with a chuckle which only helped to aggregate Nightshade further
“I'd just love to end you right now,”
She said through gritted teeth as she glared at him coldly. It didn't seem to put him off though, if anything he seemed more amused
“go on then, what could you possibly do to hurt your tiny little body?”
Nightshade folded her ears back as her horn began to glow and a blue aura surrounded his body
“you know what, why don't we just muzzle you instead,”
She looked to the guards and one of them trotted away, before coming back with a pony muzzle and the other guard opened the cell and stepped in. After fixing the muzzle to his face they left and Nightshade dropped his body on the stone floor roughly
“try not to die now you son of a horse,”
And with that she strolled out of the corridor
“that ought to teach that loudmouth who's boss.”
