//------------------------------// // Chapter one: Desire Fulfilled (edited) // Story: Man in a Diamond Dogs World // by monkey king //------------------------------// Deep inside the Everfree Forest, there stands an enormous mountain which many creatures, like the ponies of Equestria, very seldom tread. The is because, deep inside the mountain there is a city made up of several different types of crystals. This is the home of the proud Diamond Dogs and most importantly the queen of all Diamond Dogs Fenriss. Fenriss is considered by many in her kingdom to be the most beautiful, “partially because of her Golden fur”, and wise female in the entire pack. Her subjects often praise her for how strong and gracious she always acts,but unbeknown to them Fenriss held a deep sorrow in her heart. You see,for as long as she could remember,Fenriss had longed for a pup for her to call her own. However,due to her obligations to her subjects,she had never been able to find a mate with which to have a pup. So for the sake of her kingdom and subjects,she decided to bury her desire deep down in her heart. That was,until one fateful day when everything changed. As Fenriss sat on her throne, looking out at her kingdom, she sighed and said, ”Look at them down there.” She looked at all the families that thrived in her kingdom and said, ”What I wouldn’t give to have what they have.” Fenriss then let out one last sigh before a knocking could be heard from the giant diamond door which served as the entrance to the throne room. Fenriss looked at the door and ,in a calm voice, said, ”Enter.” Upon saying this the doors slowly started to open and a German Shepard Diamond Dog clad in armor made of iron and adorned in rubies entered. Fenriss groaned as she slightly lowered her head and asked, ”What is it now Commander Howler, is it another messenger from the ponies about those three Omegas that kidnapped that pony?” Commander Howler shook his head and said, ”No majesty, it not the ponies again. ”Fenriss raised her eyebrow and asked, ”Then what is it?” Commander Howler shook his head and said, ”Majesty come and see for self.” Commander Howler then started to walk out of the room not knowing if Fenriss was following.   Fenriss looked at Commander Howler and wondered what was so important that it needed her attention. So She decided to follow commander Howler to  the outside of their mountain home. Fenriss looked around and asked, ”Alright Commander Howler where is this thing that you deemed so important that I needed to follow you. ”Right as Commander Howler was about to say something a loud crying could be heard from within the forest. Fenriss looked out into the forest trying to pinpoint the location of the crying. She then started to run into the forest all the while feeling her motherly instincts kick in as the crying grew louder and louder until finally, she came to the source of the crying. What she saw was a clearing in the forest which had a small pile of cloth that seemed to move ever so slightly.  Fenriss walked up to the pile of cloth and softly poked it with her paw which caused the cloth to move. She shot her paw back in fear at this, but after she had managed to calm herself she decided to pull at the cloth and see what was making it move. Once she had moved the cloth, away she was greeted by the sight of a tiny human baby boy. Fenriss had no idea what this creature was, so she decided to lean down and sniff him. As she sniffed the small boy, he began to laugh happily because of her nose tickling him. Fenriss raised her head and just smiled at the precious little thing she saw before her.   As the two looked at each other for a bit Fenriss could feel that empty feeling, that pup sized hole she had, slowly starting to fill. She tried to reach down so she might hold the small child. However, as she was about to pick him up Commander Howler yelled, ”Majesty! Don’t touch strange thing!” Fenriss drew back her paws and turned her attention to the Commander and asked, “Oh Commander Howler whatever are you on about, why should I not touch this little gem?” Commander Howler walked over to Fenriss and said, ”We not know what little creature is or if it dangerous.” Fenriss rolled her eyes and said, ”Commander Howler while I commend you on your dedication, I must say that you have nothing to worry about. ”She then leaned down and carefully picked the baby up, causing him to smile happily, and showed him to Commander Howler. She then asked, ”Does this cute little thing really look that dangerous?”  Commander Howler sighed and said, ”No but never be too safe.” He then looked at the baby one last time before saying, ”Majesty should get back.” Fenriss smiled and said, ”Yes we should Commander Howler.” She then looked down at the baby and started to gently tickle him while saying, ”Time for you to see your new home little one.” The baby laughed gleefully at the tickling and snuggled deep into Fenriss, causing her to smile brightly. As they walked back to her gem palace, Fenriss couldn’t help but notice all her subjects staring at her and the small baby she carried in her arms. Once they reached her gem palace Fenriss said, ”Alright Commander you are dismissed for the day.” Commander Howler gave Fenriss a bow and walked away from her. Once Fenriss was alone she said, ”Alright little one let me show you around your new home.” Fenriss smiled as she started to show the baby around every inch of her gem palace. Along their tour of the castle, a Rough Collie looking maid by the name of Lassie walked up to them and asked, ”Your Majesty is that a little one in your arms?”  Fenriss smiled and showed the baby to Lassie and said, ”Oh yes it is, I found him outside the mountain and decided to take him in as my own.”  Lassie leaned in to get a better look at the baby but was surprised when he touched her face and giggled. Fenriss chuckled at this and said, ”Looks like he likes you.” Lassie chuckled as she slowly pulled away from him and asked, ”So what is his name?” Fenriss blinked a couple of times before lowering her gaze at the baby and saying, ”I haven’t given him one yet.” Lassie looked at Fenriss and asked, ”Then why not give the little one a name now?” Fenriss looked at Lassie and then back to the baby in her arms and said, ”I think I will name him Kiba, after the first king of our pack, Kiba the Vicious.” She then nuzzled Kiba and asked, ”How does that sound my little gem.” Kiba just smiled and giggled as he nuzzled her back. Lassie chuckled at the sight of the two and said, ”You two sure are cute Your Majesty.” Lassie then said, ”Well if you will excuse me I must return to my duties.” She turned around and was about to leave when Fenriss said, ”Wait! Miss Lassie, I have a request to ask of you.” Lassie turned back around and asked, ”How might I be of service Your Majesty?” Fenriss smiled and said, ”As you know I can be quite busy dealing with the kingdom and all of our mines.” Lassie gave a quick nod and Fenriss continued, ”So I was wondering if you would be willing to become Kiba’s nanny?” Lassie smiled widely and said, ”Oh I would love to become Kiba’s nanny.” Fenriss smiled at this and said, ”Good, come by my room tomorrow to start your new job.” Lassie gave a quick nod and was about to say something, but was cut off by a loud yawn from Kiba. Fenriss and Lassie smiled at this and Fenriss said, ”Looks like my little gem is ready for bed.” She walked past Lassie and said, ”Remember to come by in the morning for your first day.” Lassie gave a quick nod and said, ”Yes Your Majesty, see you too in the morning.” Lassie then walked away. After a couple of minutes, Fenriss and Kiba reached Fenriss’ bedchamber, which consisted of a large circular bed in the center of the room. She walked over to the bed and softly laid Kiba down on before climbed in next to him. As soon as she did this Kiba, snuggled up to her causing her to smile happily. Fenriss kissed the top of his head and said, ”At last I have a pup to call my own, and I swear upon my life that I will be the best mother in the world.” Fenriss held Kiba close to her, and the two fell into a deep sleep.
