It's the evening of my fourth day in the past, nothing much has happened except maybe for the fact that Sombra took the liberty to cancel our double date to make sure I was ok, a nice gesture I suppose, outside the castle, the winds are howling, and I have yet to find any solution for my sudden, painful visions, during my time here I had found two things, the employees at the castle are no employees, but slaves, and that they all have collars with names and who they belong to and they all belong to the jewel of the god of lumbar, who it seems is Vlad's dad, hurray for me and my never-ending bad luck in Equestria.
News? I could understand Sombra and everyone now, after I went to the royal physician my mind started to adapt.
"You alright there, brother?" The deep and gruff voice of Sombra said, snapping me out of my long reverie. I look up to see my new found brother, the Prince of Umbra, standing behind me with a big smile and a mug full of beer on his right hand. "You looked like you were asleep on your feet there for a second, are you having one of your episodes again? should I call the doctor?."
'Observe,'
I can help but chuckle seeing the future great king of evil, worried about my health, "I'm alright, just tired."
He smiled and with a wink reached behind himself and grabbed a bottle of the good stuff off a shelf in the room, uncorking it and pouring me a drink. "Nothing a good drink can't help, come on talk to your old and cleary more attractive brother!"
I laughed and raised my glass to him, trying to put words to my troubled thoughts, without giving much or saying I'm from the future, no matter how much I try the words don't come easily, so instead I lied, "I'm just sad I couldn't go out with Luna,"
"Huh, that can be easily arranged," Sombra smirked at me, and for a brief moment, his horn ignited.
"Sure," I didn't come here to date my future aunt, I came here to find how to get stronger and escape that hellhole, with that in mind I hop off my chair trying to get out of the room and walk a bit, Sombra gets a refill and follows close behind. As we walked through the castle, we see the silhouette of a woman standing in the middle of the hallway.
"I hope this is good, Sombra, I was eating a cake," The woman said, she sounded threatening and powerful, is not until she takes a couple of steps forward that I recognized her, 'Observe'
"Come on my sun, do I need a better reason than your smile to see you?" Sombra teleported in front of her, kneeling and kissing her hand.
"I suppose that's an acceptable reason, but at least warn me if you're going to forcibly teleport us," Celestia smiled, and whispered something to Sombra.
"I see, that would've been bad, I shall call next time, my sun," Sombra said, kissing her forehead.
'Huh, well this is new, I'd never been the third wheel,' I thought.
"Vlad!" Someone shouts behind me; I turned around with curiosity to find a Luna hopping up. I've barely had time to react before I have a beautiful woman leaping into my arms, giving me a fierce hug. "You're finally awake — I was so worried!"
I blink, I didn't sleep for days, my visions only took me out for a couple of hours at least, unless I lost track of time, "Finally? How long have I been out?"
"Little over a week," Sombra answers the question, and I give him a look saying would've been nice to know, "Well, it didn't come out in our conversations brother,"
I sighed, rubbing my temples, "Well, good to know."
"Didn't you told me, sis, you were going to rock his world out once you saw him again?" Celestia smiled at Luna with a teasing look.
Looking at Luna, I see shes blushing, and without any warning she grabbed my head pulling me into a fierce kiss, which as a man of culture I reciprocated, I'm not a monster.
"I missed you," Luna said shyly.
"I missed you too," I said, holding her tight, it took me a second to realize I actually meant those words, I wasn't faking them.
'Wait a second, where did that come from?!' I thought alarmed, 'Observe.'
'Secret fiance... is the fact that Vlad is in love with her affecting me somehow?' That would explain my reaction; I sure didn't interact with her enough in the future to develop feelings whatsoever.
"How about we have a party!" Celestia's voice snaps me out of my train of thought with a loud shout, "We could go to the sea of Persi and hunt some monsters!"
"I don't think---"
"Or to the maze of Galatea!" Luna added, getting excited with the idea.
"I need some time----"
"How about both!" Sombra teleports behind me putting his arm around my neck, "Heck I say we go to every dangerous place we know and kill some monsters to our hearts contempt!"
"How about we drink and---"
"This is going to be awesome! we could even go to Tartarus!" Celestia giggled.
"You are just going to ignore me?--"
"Huzzah! The fun has been doubled!" Luna cheered jumping into the air with her hands up.
"Lets us go brother, and bleed together like we used to do a week ago!" Sombra said as he started to move, carrying me like luggage on his back.
"What that hell, let's kill some monsters," I chuckled.
"I knew ignoring you was the right choice!" Sombra laughed.
"So you did hear me!"
