New Life of a Crow

by Knight of Crows


Vacation part 2

Misty POV

Looking over to Ryan during my conversation with Eris and I can't help but smile even more for him. Nightmare and Luna switched places with their sisters sometime in the past 10 minutes and they seem to be just as cuddly as Eris. You wouldn't be wrong if you said he's having the time of his life right now. On his way to a beautiful beach house with not one, but 6 girlfriends, 2 (technically 4) of them being princesses, not much can ruin this for him. He would probably give cancer to whoever did ruin it for us, and no I don't mean the illness, I mean he would give a Ugandan Knuckles to whoever did so. I know he did for one noble who thought it was a good idea to call me a deformed Diamond Dog and Eris an abomination that broke out of the lab.

"So how did you and Ryan meet?" Eris asked, moving to another topic.

"Oh, he told me to 'get lost you worthless whore' after I asked him if he needed help fixing his roof." Eris was shocked to say the least.

"He actually said that to you?" She asked.

"Yup, it was a rocky start to say the least. I had just moved into the area and saw the hurricane the day before did a number on it. I ignored his insult and constant refusal to accept help and helped him anyway." She raised a brow.

"Good to him before you even learned his name, I'm sure anypony else would have walked away after that. I get the feeling that was considered an impossibility to him?" You have no idea.

"It took 2 months before he told me his real name, another month for the insults to stop, 3 more months for him to call me a friend, and another 4 months for him to ask me out." Eris just looked at me like I was insane.

"It took you almost a whole year to get that close to him? Just how bad were his trust issues?" She asked somewhat afraid of the answer.

"You don't want to know, he was damaged to say the least. After he started having those kinds of feelings for me he was more untrusting to himself than me. I can't tell you how many times he would almost cry after even the smallest mistake or how after we started sharing a bed that he woke up clinging to me like his life depended on it." Eris had a sad look on her face that quickly changed to a blushed look of curiosity.

"You were practically his world to him. Speaking of sharing a bed, how was your first time with him?" I was wondering when that would come up.

"He was surprised and scared to say the least. I was going to wait until our anniversary to get that intimate with him, but he decided to get me this necklace a month before so I thought it was only fair." I showed her a white gold necklace with a cross and a sapphire in the center. She had a sort of knowing grin looking between me and him.

"You practically forced yourself on him didn't you?" She asked.

"What? No! Okay maybe a little, I came on to him and he certainly didn't complain. He was more speechless and reluctant at first, but I changed his mind quickly enough." I couldn't help but laugh on the inside as that memory was brought up. She looked back to the others for a moment.

"So how long do you think it'll be before they want a piece of him too?" She asked as she made a small bed on the table with small dolls of everyone in it.

"I don't think it'll be long. Heh, I hope he brought Losvayne because he might need it by the end of the week." I wonder who'll jump him first? I'm thinking it'll be Nightmare or Luna, but now that I think about it the others may be just as likely.

Guess we'll see later.


Ryan POV

So right now I'm practically pinned to my seat by Nightmare and Luna, both with their arms and wings wrapped around me and only thing I can say is this is comfortable. The smell of nightshade isn't unpleasent either. Reaching my hands up from their shoulders I started scratching them behind their ears and they made the most adorable sound, close to a cat purring, but not quite. Their manes feel funny by the way, my hands feel like they're in water, but it's tingling, and all the stars in their manes are being drawn towards my hands. Celestia and surprisingly Daybreaker's manes felt similar, just warmer and more 'active'.

"Ooohh this feels so nice." Nightmare said, tilting her head a little.

"Indeed." Luna agreed, wrapping her limbs around me a little tighter.

"Careful, he might like the attention too much if you keep smothering him like that." Daybreaker warned them. Did I forget to mention their breasts were close enough to my head I could have used them as pillows? Both of their faces lit up and they backed up a little to give me some breathing room, not that I was complaining either way.

"So any ideas once we get settled?" Only thing that comes to my mind is spending the day at the beach. I didn't really get out much and this is honestly my first vacation so I'm not exactly the person to go to for this. I probably should have asked for recommendations like a few restaurants or theaters, maybe see what they think about amusement parks if there are any.

"Well a few movies you were planning to show us have already received modern adaptations so perhaps we could see them? The two being shown today are our versions of Hercules and Aladdin I believe, though I can't remember the names of those movies." Celestia suggested. Good start I suppose and my God do they work quick! It hasn't even been a year and they've already remade those? I hope those were just advertisements and not the actual movies or I'll have to hurry up and show them Lion King before they butcher it like they probably did to these two. This is my childhood we are talking about (before it got fucked in every direction)!

"Alright, unless we've got other ideas I guess we're doing that first. Hopefully they didn't rush it and butcher it like I think they did." If they did I'm getting my money back and sueing someone if I can.

"There are a few sights worth seeing, one of which requires a Bloodmoon though for the full view. Luckily one such moon is scheduled tomorrow night." Nightmare suggested.

"I definitely want to see that then. I've never seen one and I didn't think the moon being a different color would change the reflection enough for something like that then." Shocking right? Older than every living creature in the world and I haven't seen one. That changes soon. Luna and Nightmare tightened their hold on me as their lips met mine this time.

"Then we will make this special for you!" Both of them said at the same time which got a laugh out of me.

"Define special?" Take the not so obvious bait.

"It will be the most beautiful sight of your life." Luna said.

"But why would Misty need a Bloodmoon to look more beautiful?" They didn't take the bait so this is my revenge for not at least humoring my perverted mind. They gave me a look of disbelief before they heard me laughing.

"I'm sorry, it was too tempting. In all seriousness though I am looking forward to it, and not just because I haven't seen one before."

"We would be happy to show you one you will never forget." Nightmare said.

The train ride continued for a while, we would be on this train until morning at the earliest. We passed the time listening to music and playing games a little bit, playing Destiny again thanks to Emily (she says hi by the way) actually made me want to try to remake Thorn and Last Word, I've already done the swords and got them stashed in the bunker. As the ride came close to another city I asked if the conductor could stop the train for a bit and let us get a bit of air to which he agreed. I never did get to help the others learn their weapons which are stored in their own little pocket dimensions to my surprise, I didn't know anything but Void magic could do that.

Incase the reader forgot their weapons-

Luna has Bloodborne's Moonlight Greatsword.

Celestia has Skyrim's Dawnbreaker.

Nightmare has a scythe of my own making called Silver Crescent.

Daybreaker has Diablo 3's Ashbringer (not the corrupted one).

Now I should note that I made slight modifications to their weapons. Maximum power changing as night and day come around being one change. There enchantments were also changed quite a bit as well. Dawnbreaker for example already did fire, but I added arcane and light to it, but arcane will only take effect if Celestia casts any magic with it in her hands, and light will only take effect if she casts light obviously.

Ashbringer already did a lot of light (holy) damage, all I did was add arcane and fire to that as well.

The Moonlight Greatsword already did a lot of arcane damage, but it's description in Bloodborne mentioned 'waves of darklight' so I added a fair amount of light and dark. The dark part though is what becomes more powerful at night, light will be dependent on the lunar phase.

Silver Crescent is similar to Moonlight, but lacks arcane power, instead that extra power was converted to light and dark.

Thinking about those enchantments now it makes me wonder how much they would change if at all when eclipses or Bloodmoons come around. Just the thought is making me want to see it all more. Teaching them how to use their weapons was a slow process, but they got it eventually. Luna and Nightmare though were having a bit of difficulty firing the waves because of a slight mistake on my part that I was able to fix. Turns out I forgot to take into account their attunement to dark and for their versions of the weapons to work properly I had to put a few seals on the dark power since apparently light and dark need to be at a 1-1 ratio for the waves to work right, otherwise the weapons form cracked magic coating and explode (they and the weapons were fine. This also meant I needed to add conditions for the dark power to return by making the returns and reseals entirely dependent on the lunar phases. As the moon becomes more visible, the dark power returns piece by piece, always equal to the light half.

By the time I finished helping them get a feel for their weapons Celestia and Daybreaker were able to ignite their weapons, and Luna and Nightmare were able to use the ranged potential on theirs. We got back on the train and enjoyed dinner before just killing time for the next few hours before I decided to call it a night. The train had actual beds in the other car that were separated by a few walls, all big enough for 2 maybe 3 people, perk of being royalty I'd guess. I got under the covers and after a few minutes started to relax enough to go to sleep, now if only I could actually do so alone. It just doesn't feel right without someone next to me, but that will be fixed soon enough.


Celestia POV (just after Ryan left)

"Alright, you two go with him this time." Misty said pointing to me and Daybreaker.

"Come again?" I asked surprised.

"You and Daybreaker join him in bed. And please, if you're going to have fun keep it down or I might have to join just to help me sleep." We both blushed as that was brought up. Clearing my head of those thoughts I had a question I would like answered.

"Why not you and Eris or Luna and Nightmare?" Simple curiosity.

"Me and Eris have had him plenty, Luna and Nightmare have spent more time with him than any of us today. It's only fair." She said.

"Alright bu-"

"You mean to tell us that you don't want this sister? Spend anymore time here and we might take those spots from you." Luna interrupted. I chose to just stop talking and join him, Daybreaker beside me.

Entering the other train car we saw one of the doors already open. Ryan lifted himself up as he spoke when we entered.


Ryan POV

"Need something? Don't worry, I'm having trouble getting to sleep anyway." I asked the 2 entering the room. My question was answered when the bed shifted as Celestia and Daybreaker got in with me, Celestia to my back and Daybreaker to my front.

"Not Misty and Eris this time?" Not complaining either way.

"No, she let us go instead, did you want them instead?" Daybreaker asked with a slightly hurt expression on her face.

"I'm perfectly fine with this." I said pushing my lips to hers then Celestia after that.

"Goodnight." We said to each other as we pulled ourselves closer to each other.

It's all up hill from here for now it looks like.
