"Dear, queen eqius bright scales,
I, Princess celestia, Grant you and your gaurds passage to my land's and would love to come to the wedding of my-soon-to-be step daughter and your daughter. I will be waiting here in the castle to discuss the terms of a treaty. I look forward to your visit, and wish you a safe journey.
Princess Celestia Sun-dancer Windcloud."
As the letter was taken by a messanger bird, the princess of the day breathed a sigh of relief. Her daughters were playing with nightmare in a game of paint war. Her sister and aurora retired to there room to have some 'alone time' and asked her to watch the foals for them. She had serion in her hooves and swift was suckling at her teat.
She was talking to her loyal guard, wind rider, about were to put the new rooms in the living quarters in the next hallway. The discussion was brought up by luna after she figured that the foals would need there own room soon and asked her elder sister to see to it for her. "Well, if we put their room here," wind rider pointed at a peice of paper in front of the princess, indicating the emty space between melody and dusks room's "we should be able to accomodate them."
"Hm, alright, just give me two hours to draw the blueprints and then you can give it to the usual builders." Wind rider nodded and took the parchment with him as he left the room. "Oh and princess, we have a guest here that wish's to see you and your sister in the throne room in a few minutes." Celestia did a double take and shook her head. "Alright, i will wake my sister and be there in a few minutes."
As he left, the sun goddess wondered who this geust was, asking for her and her sister like that. "Whoever it is, i am sure they can wait a few more minutes." Celestia took her sleeping foals and gently wrapped a blanket around both before opening the doors. She levitated a sling for each foal so she could carry each on her side. When she was sure they were both comfortable, she trotted down the hallway to her sisters room.
On the way, she could her loud moaning and bed springs creaking from her sisters room.sister, why must you two do that now? Now i am glad we put the children's living quarters in the other hallway. As she got closer to the room, the creaking and moaning got louder, until a mighty roar echoed through the hallway, fallowed by a powerful scream of pleasure. The monarch of the sun used all her will power not to face-hoof at that moment.
The door opened to the moon goddess' bedroom and a smiling princess came out with a dragon fallowing. Both looked satisfied and were playing with each others hair or tail. "Sister, how are you? Have fun in there?" Both princess' blushed deeply before looking away form each other. "Y-Yes we did, but what are you doing here sister, with the foals?" The large dragon nuzzled her small wife and children before picking up the sling from the sun goddess with bothe foals inside. "Well, while aurora watches the foals, our presence is requested in the throne room."
"Really? Someone demands our presence? lets just hope that whoever they are, are prepared to get an ear full." As the princess' said their respective good byes, the dragoness wondered if she should fallow, but decided against it.
Throne room; five minutes later.
Muffled laughter could be heard outside of the great throne room as the princess' stood there. "Well, whoever it may be, i can see that they have a sense of humor." Luna said to her chuckling sibling, but something made her hesitant to open the doors. She pressed her ear against the doors and listened intently for any indication to the pony's identity. "...Yes, that is true, but if she only asked i would have said so."
The princess of the sun also pressed her ear to the doors to listen. "...But he insisted on greating me with his family, so i did and i now have a steady supply of emeralds form their mine every few months, oh don't get me wrong your highness. I pay them for all the eneralds and i give them to my kingdom as a sign of respect." Both princess' were shocked to hear those last few sentences and abruptly pulled back from the doors. "There's royalty from a different country here? Why?"
The monarch of the sun blushed slightly and explained the letter she got form a certain princess and waited for her sister's reaction. "Well, this changes things, dosen't it." The dark princess re-adjusted he regalia and tilted her head to the guards. "Open the doors please." The guards nodded to the princess and opened the doors and stood inside with the great monarchs. "I must apologize for our tardiness...we...were...preoccupied."
As the word's died in her mouth, the sun goddess looked straight at the other ponies in the room, particularly at the one in the throne. A large cream alicorn was giggling with a small dragon by her side and two mare at the bottom of the throne. One of which celestia recognized. "Eqius, is that really you?" The darker of the pair of dragons turned toward the sun goddess and smiled. "Celestia! Its been a long time since i have seen you last." The large dragoness walked up to the the smaller sun princess and nuzzled her cheek lovingly. "Eqius, i have missed you."
"Well, it seems my daughter is pleased with her, but no hugs for your mother?" The cream alicorn leaped off the great throne and landed gracefully next to the large dragoness with her lover in tow. "My daughter, it has been a long time." The great queen looked down at her slightly shorter daughter and reachd out a hoof in a welcomeing gesture.
Celestia trotted into the embrace of her mother and started to cry tears of joy as her mother sat down on her haunches with her filly in her arms. "Its alright; mother's here. Shh... Its ok." The smaller of the two sister's looked at her mother with hate and disgust. "Hello, mother." The malice was practicly dripping from the luner princess' voice. "Luna, whats wrong honey?"
"Celestia, i'll be in my room; see you later mother." With that, the younger sibling turned and trotted past the great doors and turned left down the hallway. "Celestia, is there something wrong with your sister?" The sun god wiped her tears and looked up at her mother. "*sniff* i think that she might still be mad at you from last time." The queen nodded and helped her daughter up and turned to her love. "Celestia, this is drenco; my mate, drenco, this is my eldest daughter, celestia."
The two looked each other up and down and smiled. "You look like your mother." "My mother has good taste in lovers." With her mate and daughter well aquanted, the queen turned to her two other guests. "Princess secron , you have my permission to host the wedding here at the castle, but make sure that your family doesn't do anything they'll regret later." Secron nodded and took a step back form her mother so the queen could speak to her.
"As for you, queen eqius, you may stay here at the castle as long as you wish and when your mate gets here he may stay with you as well." The queen nodded and her and her daughter bowed to the queen before walking past the two rulers and left to there own rooms.
"Drenco, i need to talk to my daughter privately, you wait in our room." The red dragoness nodded and walked out of the throne room with the guards fallowing suite closing the great doors behind them. once the two were alone the queen looked at her daughter with a stern face and asked calmly. "Celestia sun-dancer faust, you have some explaining to do young filly." The solar princess gulped and started to explain what had happened in the last twenty years he mother had been gone.
After she had explained everything, her mother had the same expression she had at the beginning. "That's not everything, is it?" Celestia sat down with a sigh and shook her head. "No, there is a few more things i didnt mention." The queen looked at her daughter and nodded for her to continue. "Well, you know how i said that there was a few wedding's you missed, i never told you who were the one's getting married."
The sun goddess reached into her large neclace with her magic and pulled out a chain necklace with four rings on it; each a different color. Black, dark purple, dark grey, and dark blue. "These are form my mates; i was married to them each in turn and they are all..." The queen was loosing her patience with her daughter and stomped a hoof on the ground hard enough to break the marble flooring. "We grow tired of your hesitance; TELL US WHO YOU HAVE MARRIED!"
Celestia flinched visably and drew a deep breathe before continuing. "I have married princes aurora, princess nightmare, queen chrysalis, and my sister. I am happy with them and they are with me." She shut her eyes and waited for her mother to react. She waited for her to get mad, for her to strike her, to do some bodily harm to her, but she didn't. Why hasn't she lashed out at me? Is she just waiting for me to continue?
Faust was still trying to prcess what her daughter has just told her. She got married? To three mares, one of which is her own sister? Wait, who are the other two?"Explain to me who the other two are." Celestia opened her eyes and shook her head. "I can't tell you who they are, but i can show you who they are." The great sun goddess turned around and beckoned for her mother to fallow.
