//------------------------------// // Monarchs Of Different Worlds // Story: Another Bed Time Story // by Stonemonarch //------------------------------// Nighttime Forest Clearing Onyx and Nomina were laying down and gazing at the stars, Onyx's dark mysterious eyes shone as Nomina's sparkled in the moonlight. The grass waved in unison as the trees did. The night was clear and the stars were shining, just like every night, it was beautiful for both of them. "You know Onyx if you weren't Prince of the Dark Mountains I would let you meet my parents" both of them giggled and Onyx turned over to look at her. Onyx felt a strong feeling towards Nomina, he wondered if Nomina felt it to. "Yeah, and if your parents didn't want to destroy my dad I would totally do so." Nomina giggled at the joke and turned to look at her friend, she noticed he was blushing. "Awwww look, Onyx is blushing." Onyx noticed and his fur stood on end, he blushed even harder by this point. He cleared his throat "What no I'm not, I'm just cold, that's all." Nomina giggled at him for a few minutes then curled up next to him. She looked around the scenery and saw the beautiful sight that is the dark night, she knew not all darkness was bad. Onyx brushed his dark mane out of his eyes and noticed it was becoming midnight. "Hey Nomina, its midnight, we should probably go home." Nomina sighed and stayed on the grass for a moment. "I wish we could do this all the time, where we don't have to worry about our parents, I just want to spend time with you." for a moment Onyx's dark eyes teared up. The purple aura around his eyes shifted around until he spoke. "I wish we could to, but Nomina when I become king, I won't be evil, I'll offer my help to anyone that needs me, even if they are scared of me." Nomina got up and hugged her friend closely, wrapping her hooves around his neck, Onyx wrapping his around her. "This is why I love you so much, you may be dark but your more golden than anything in the land." they both shared a hug for awhile then let go. "I'll see you tomorrow night, same time as always." Nomina nodded. "Same time as always." Nomina repeated then went into the direction of the woods she came through to get back to the castle. Onyx sighed and almost felt like crying for he couldn't see Nomina that often, he just needed to wait until he was fully grown and ready to take on his fathers responsibility. He would then turn the Dark Mountains into the Shrouded Mountains and make it a dark but good place. If that made any sense to anypony. He sighed once more and went the opposite direction, treading through the forest. Midnight Dark Mountains Onyx sneaked through the parlor of the Dark Castle, he eventually got to his room. He took a quick glance outside of his window and noticed a faint silhouette on the balcony, it was his father and the shadowbolts. Onyx quickly realized what was going down. He saw his father slam his hoof on the balcony so badly it shook the entire mountain. "He is doing what?!" howled King Sombra, his eyes were filled with fury and rage, the purple aura looking almost like fire. The middle Shadowbolt walked in front of the king. "Prince Onyx was in the forest clearing with Princess Cadence's daughter, Princess Nomina." the two behind her shared a demonic snicker as they saw Onyx looking out his window. That was until King Sombra slammed his hoof one more time into the ground. King Sombra meant to scare the Shadowbolts into doing his bidding. "You three are going to make sure my son never, ever sees that child ever again!!!" his voice was so loud ravens, crows, and vultures all cowered into the sky from the trees below. The two in the back hid behind the one in the front. "Y-yes your majesty, w-we'll be sure to do so." King Sombra turned around to go to his sons room, the Shadowbolts followed behind. As they reached the room King Sombra's rage only grew stronger, he attempted to open the door with his magic, and his hoof until it he noticed it was locked and he crashed through it with his head. The room was empty, saddlebags were gone and the window was open with the curtains flowing in the wind. King Sombra was filled with rage. "Find hiiiiiiiim!!!!!!" the Shadowbolts cowered and flew out into the night. Midnight Crystal Empire Onyx had ran for a good while, he think he lost the Shadowbolts eventually, Onyx trotted through the Crystal Woods, the trees of Crystal shone with each color of brown, yellow, gold, and green. It wasn't autumn but that was the beauty of the Crystal Woods, season didn't matter, it was always as beautiful as everything else in the Crystal Empire. He eventually made it to the streets of the Crystal Empire. He threw over his brown hood and walked the streets. He had to make it to the castle. "Wow, I never realized how safe it felt to be in a place of happiness and not despair like the Dark Mountains." Onyx took in the feel of the amazing city, everything shone of some sort of sparkle. Each and everyone completely distracting Onyx from what hes supposed to do, he shook his head and continued on. He had to sneak through the garden of the Crystal Castle, he used his magic to get him into Nomina's room, he saw she was sleeping, he slowly opened the window and went to her bed. "Nooominaaaa, Noooominaaa, please wake up." Nomina's eyes fluttered open, her vision a bit blurry, that was until she realized who it was. "Onyx!!! What are you doing he-!!!" Onyx threw his hoof over her mouth. "Shhhhhh" Nomina threw his hoof off her mouth and went into a silent whisper. "What are you doing here?!" she snapped. "Listen my dad, he found out about us through the Shadowbolts!" Nomina groaned and looked at him with sad eyes. "My parents found out about us to, from the guards, after that I wasn't aloud outside of the house, I would of told you but I couldn't." she almost teared up. "Well I'm here now aren't I, look I need your parents help." Nomina went wide eyed. "How in Celestia do you think that could happen?!" she said as she became frustrated. Onyx shrugged and looked around. "Look, I don't know but I have no where else to turn to." Nomina sighed and got out of bed to hug her friend, again. "I'm glad your okay, and that's all that matters now, look we can't do anything now, we have to do something in the morning." she was right, Onyx had to wait till morning but wondered where he was going to sleep. Nomina looked around and pointed to her closet. "Sleep in there, I'll wake up early and tell you, but for now that's all we can do." Onyx sighed, didn't argue and made himself a sorta bed in the closet, he curled up and looked at Nomina standing in the closet's door way. "Goodnight Onyx." "Goodnight Nomina." she closed the closet and curled back up in bed. Almost Dawn Chrysalis Hive King Sombra's magic destroyed the door of the hive, the changelings cowered at the sight of King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis sitting on her throne. She laughed at the sight of her darkest companion ruler. "King Sombra, its a pleasure to see you, what is it you need?" she chuckled until King Sombra was in her face in a moments notice. "I require your changelings to find my son, he went off with Princess Nomina, the brat of The Crystal Swine." Chrysalis chuckled evily. "Use them at your disposal." the Changelings buzzed of an evil sort of laughing.
