A Prince's Journey

by Frosthowl


Chapter 13 Old Friends and Older Enemies

The light of dawn seeped throw the thick curtains. The room was in a complete mess, with the prince's cloths thrown randomly to the ground. The prince himself... Was sandwiched between two young mares. The one at the right had a light gray fur coat and a silver mane, with the cutie mark of a silver spoon. The other mare had a pink fur coat and purple and white mane, with a cutie mark of a diamond tiara.

Starfall slowly woke up as his unique body didn't need much rest. He slowly opened his eyes to feel his body completely naked and incontact with two ponies under the large covers.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that there were two heads pressed up against his chest, two mares resting their heads with a satisfied smiles on their face as they felt his warm smooth skin. "What the fuck..." He mumbled.

The two mares started to wake up from the prince's confused comment. "Mmh good morning" The pink one spoke with a smile as she rubbed up ever closer to her one night stand. "Wow you really knocked my world upside down last night, your highness." She said with a drowsy giggle.

Starfall's eyes widened, but before he could react to this nightmare, the other mare woke up. "Good morning you two." She said with a smile. "Last night was great." She said standing up from her lying position.

"What did we do last night? my head feels like its about to explode."

The two mares started to laugh at the comment. "I'm not surprised, the amount of cider and braeburn's you drank, would have killed a pony."

Starfall suddenly felt like someone was kicking his head. "Aow, my head, I'm sorry but I can't remember how I got home and in bed...Naked...

The two mares joking attitude went away as the prince spoke. "You mean...You dont remember nothing at all?" The pink one asked again. Starfall replied by slowly shaking his head. The pink mare gritted her teeth in frustration. "I can't belive this became another one night stand." The pink mare removed the covers and made her way towards the bathroom. "Silver, you tell him then, I'm gonna take a shower and try not to commit regicide." She didn't waste a second and quickly closed the bathroom door behind her.

Starfall felt guilty for being the cause of grief to the young mare. He turned his attention back to the silvery mare that her friend referred to as silver. "Forgive me Silver, I'm sorry for asking this, especially after being the cause of so much grief to your friend, but what happened last night?" He asked sitting up, with the covers still above his midsection.

The silver maned mare just gave a friendly smile. "Dont worry your highness, we both had a great time last night so I dont particularly mind." He was surprised from her cheery personality, he had expected her to be furious at him. "Anyhow, you came to the nightclub with a friend, she hooked up with some other stallion and left you with us. You had ben drinking endlessly and crying about some mare that broke your heart." That last sentence made Starfall's pride deflate like a ballon. "After a while you regained yourself and were talking about how you 'Were searching for the mare of your dreams.' I knew you were drunk but Diamond Tiara thought you were genuine." And now Guilt struck the prince again. "But she and I were going to have a girls night out, so I wanted us to have as much fun as possible, and I was...A bit curious about humans." She blushed heavily on the last sentence.

"You mean...We had intercourse?" Starfall asked nervously, hoping he just preferred to sleep naked last night.

Silver spoon looked confused at the prince, most stallions would celebrate the fact that they had sex, but the human seemed more upset then happy. "Yes, we had sex."

Starfall wanted to smash his head into the wall. I am just an endless disappointment to my mother. He though to himself. First I lost my virginity to two mares that I dont know, second I even have the courage to bring them home.

"You alright?" the mare asked concerned. "You dont seem so particularly happy?"

Starfall was snapped out of his thoughts and gave silver spoon a startled look. "Forgive me, Its just that a prince isn't supposed to be sleeping around left and right...and I've lost my virginity to someone who is not my wife."

Silver Spoon was shocked by how serious the prince took his title. "Arent you making making a big deal out of nothing?" She asked.

Starfall looked at her in suprise. "What do you mean?"

"A part of life is to just calm down and have fun, let your worries throw the window and just do something crazy for a an hour, but in your case it was all night." She joked. "If you never enjoy yourself every once in a while you can appriciate life for what it is."

Starfall starred at one night stand, she was pretty wise for someone that would go out on a weekend and court a random pony. "Huh...I guess I never thought of it like that..." His surprised expression was replaced with a grateful smile. "Thank you, I guess I needed some sense knocked into my stubborn head."

Silver spoon laughed. "I better go join Diamond Tiara on her shower and tell her not to do it herself." She joked. "We'll finish showering and then make our way home." She jumped off the bed and was just about to open the door that headed towards the bathroom.

"Wait!"

Silver spoon turned around and gazed at the prince. "Yes?" She asked curiously.

"Um...Can we one day do this again?" He nervously asked.

Silver spoon sighed. "Alright, but no love or emotions, just sex and nothing else."


Two year had gone by, and the prince was living a relativly balanced life, helping his mother with politics, updating a few laws or removing them, studying magic at a masters level and when his hormons call, his one night stand visits and leaves before he can even wake up, but during this time, Starfall has felt...Lonely... He does have his family and servants to socialize with, but other than his familiar Frosthowl, Starfall never had any pony friends... He never had interacted with another colt or stallion that had nothing to do with the castle. And he had long gone given up the idea of ever finding a bride.

"Are you nervus?"

"Nervous? Now why would I be nervous of being introduced into the UN council."

Luna looked at her son with pride in her eyes. "Your old enough to be in the UN council now, you will sit along side me as the worlds most important concerns are addressed. And your father did create it to make sure that Equestria, griffyndar, saddle arabia, the hive mind and dragon kingdom are united as one. I dont know, I would feel a bit nervous if I were in your situation.

"I can say that I feel a bit anxious to meet the world leaders...Tho I am slightly curious to meet the dragon queen. I've heard that she takes the form of a female human...I can say that I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to see her." He smiled.

Luna just nodded. She understands that her sons desire to witness how a female human looks would be something that interested him, even if it is an illusion.

"Your highnesses!" Vigile snapped at attention when he quickly approached the royal family. "Our guests have arrived, Shall I send them in?"

Both mother and son nodded in unisons and the Captain saluted as he flew off. "It will be good to see Skyla again...I haven't seen her in a good while." Luna put her wing around her son.

"Dont worry my little moonshine, she hasn't forgotten about you." Luna wanted to nuzzle her son... But as she leaned her head, she remember that he was now taller then her, Starfall had been growing alot during these past years and his size is almost that of his father, just slightly shorter. "Lets go meet our guests, Tia is waiting for us by the courtyard."


The royal family made their way to the blossomed courtyard, where several honor guards were waiting and Vigile fully armored in a golden plating that had the helmet of a dragon head. Zenith was also there, assigned to be one of the honor guards to see to this meeting. Frosthowl however was forbidden to attend anywhere near, only royalty or leaders of a nation were allowed at this meeting.

The night sky was silent, with no stars, Canterlot was silent and most pegasai were sitting in the clouds to get a glimpse of the world leaders and the other unicorns and earth ponies were looking over the ledge also hoping to get a glimpse of the world leaders coming on their own wings or charitos.

Minutes passed and the first arrivals were of course none other than the Crystal queen, Skyla. A chariot made off ...What else, Crystal, was flown down from the sky, reflecting the beautiful moon light

"Skyla! Its great to see you again!" Starfall didn't waste a second to give his childhood friend a bear hug that lifted her from the ground.

"The maids spend 2 hours on my mane, but NO! Its fine, go ahead and hug me like a ragdoll." She said sarcastically. Starfall took the hind and put her down, both of them shared a good laugh. "Its good to see you too."

The 21 th platoon quickly mobilized around the crystal guards and queen. "They will see you to you to the Council room." He said with a smile.

"I think I will be joining her aswell." Luna spoke as she teleported beside the Crystal Queen. "Will you be alright greeting the other guests on your own?" Luna asked. She didn't lack faith in her son but was just asking out of politeness.

"I will mother, you two can go ahead." He gave the royal duo a bow and gave Zenith the order to continue along with his platoon.


A few more minutes went by and both the elder shaman of the zebra desserts and the sultan of Saddle arabia arrived at the same time, the gate opened and their tired servants had been pulling their carriage for days without end. Starfall was slightly disturbed on how coldly they were treated.

"Welcome Sultan Nezir and Elder Shaman Vodja, to Canterlot!" The sultan stepped out of his large carriage, you could hear the sound of his...Handmaidens cry out for his company... A few of them peeked their heads out to catch a glimpse of the human prince.

"Thank you kind Prince, I am honored to be in Canterlot once mo-"

The prince and sultan could hear small chantings of an ritualistic incantations coming from the small carriage of the representatives of the Zebra clans, and after a few second, the elder Shaman reveled himself. "Thank you Prince Starfall, spirits be blessin ya.."

The sultan seemed annoyed by the Elder Shamans primalistic behavior, The prince took slight notice to this, but let it pass. "Guards!" another platoon of honor guards surrounded the two arrivals and quickly formed a circle around them. "These guards will lead you to the Council room."

The sultan took a glance of disgust towards the shaman before he scoffed and started to walk, and the shaman joined him as well.

As the duo left, Starfall knew that the sultan would be a nuisance. tho most of the guests tonight would most likely try to stir trouble, After all...They are politicians.


A good ten minutes of waiting and he finally caught sight of two flying chariots in the sky. They both landed, one slighter before the other. The first chariot was made out of some form of black husk, and the other chariot seemed to be made out of wood. The two next arrivals turned out to be Queen Chrysalis and President stonebeak.

"Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance Lady Chrysalis, We are happy you could attend this summit." Starfall proclaimed to the Changeling queen and gave her a polite bow. "We hope you enjoy your stay in our beautiful city."

The Changeling Queen gave a amused smile as she took a good look at the adult human. "The pleasure is all mine, Prince Starfall." She flapped her tail at the prince in a very...Seductive demeanor as she walked past him.

"Wait! Don't you want your escort to the Council room?" He asked Chrysalis but she just giggled.

She paused her walking for a moment and directed her head towards Starfall. "I know my way around this castle, young Prince." She spoke with slight enjoyment in the fact that she had infiltrated Canterlot several years ago.

Starfall just nodded, after all if she feels secure enough he doesn't want to force her. He immediately turned his attention to the gryphon president who just finished talking to his guards. "President Stonebeak, Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance!" He approached the gryphon with a hand ready to shake his hoof. And the gryphon obliged and gave the prince a strong grip.

"Prince Starfall, I'm glad that you are attending this council meeting, I have some dire news regarding you that needs to be addressed!" Stonebreak spoke with a slight worry in his voice. "Shall we enter or are there any other that are left?"

Starfall needed a moment to think and adjust to the change of atmosfear. "Ehm...Only the dragon queen is left and my mother has asked me that I give her a proper welcome."

Stonebeak nodded.."Very well, we will discuss this matter in the council room." The Presidents agents and the president himself were quickly surrounded by the last platoon of guards.

"They will see to that you and your guards arrive at the council room safe and secure, Forgive me if they are a distraction but I dont want to upset my mother by disobeying her."

Stonebeak raised his talon. "I understand. Thank you for your hospitality Prince Starfall." and with those words, the president of gryffindar and his agents made their way to the council room.


"Where the blast is she?" Starfall said slightly annoyed. He had been waiting outside in the cold winter night for about an hour now, but still no sight of the dragon queen. "Maybe she isn''t co-" Just before he could finish his sentence a earthquake of sound and a powerful blew through the city, anyone hoping to get some shut eye would have been disappointed because in the night sky, the shadow of a immensely large dragon was sighted. Starfall's nocturnal vision saw her beautiful gleaming crimson scales were reflecting the moon and star lights down to the city. But the form suddenly disappeared into a cloud and the dragon seemed to be gone.

"Where is she now?" He said to himself outlaud and gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Right behind you." The strong feminine voice came from behind the prince.

Starfall slowly turned around and saw her... A human biped without wings that was slightly shorter them him, she had pale white skin, blood red lips and hair, similar to Starfall. Her eyes had a reptilian pupil, showing the danger that leis inside her illusion. But what took Starfalls attention the most was the fact that she was very...Lightly dressed. She had covered up her...Breasts and wore a triangle shaped underwear that had a small layer of golden and red metal.

Starfall was a bit lost for words. This was the first time he saw a human female form...and it didn't take him long to feel the blood rush to his head and something calling underneath his pants. "I...-."

"Now now, hasn't your mother thought you that its rude to stare at a lady? Someone needs to be punished." She looked at the prince with a seductive smile,

"I...-" The prince was stunned for the moment, he didn't know how to react to this...New experience. But eventually he got a hold of himself again. "I am thrilled you could make it Dragon Queen." He gave a humble bow towards the majestic dragon.

She put her armored hand on the humans chin and raised him to stand up. "Such formalities are not necessary, just call me Keris" She kept her gaze on the young prince. "Shall we make our way to the Council room or are there any other members that you are still waiting for, if that is the case I wouldn't mind waiting with you."

Starfall felt slightly uncomfortable, but he slowly removed the hand that was still plastered to his chin. "No, you were the last one. Shall we?" He offered his hand like a gentleman. and she put her hand between his arm and started to squeeze his biceps. Starfall was completely confused from her antics but he just went along with it.


The Queen and the prince made their way through the halls of the castle. However there were some thoughts running around in Starfalls head and he was curious about the dragon queen.

"Say, Keri is a unusual name for dragon, or is it short for something?" Starfall said, beginning the small talk between the couple.

"Of course it is. My full name is Keristrasza. many mortals such as your father had problems remembering, infact your father himself suggested that nickname."

Starfall gave the human formed queen a surprised stare. "Really? did you two know each other or were you two acquaintances?" Starfall could see how a arrogant smile was plastered on her face as she remember the two humans that roamed Equestria what felt like yesterday for her.

"I do not, but I did get to know his brother in arms before he killed my husband." Starfall stopped in his track, which lead to Keri's stop as well. "I have never seen such display of raw strength and power." Starfall was still stunned by her words, she said it like it was another afternoon for her.

"Why...- How can you speak of your husbands death so lightly, especially when he was slain by my uncle." Starfall had expected her to start spouting 'With age, comes experience' but instead he learned something new about dragon culture.

"Dragons mate with the most powerful and strongest, My husband was unmatched for two thousands years, he even managed to defend himself against the ravaging humans, before him however, I had many consorts that fought and killed each other for my favor, so this is nothing new and infact, I never liked him."

Starfall started to take back his walking pace again and the queen joined him. "But...Why did you decide to stay with him in the first place."

Keristrasza smiled. "Like I said, he was the most strongest and powerful dragon next to me, I relished the chance to see him be challenged and to have their heads ripped off by him...I was madly in love...Until I meet Alexander."

"WHAT!" Starfall shouted out in complete shock. The dragon queen gave a amused grin and flashed her reptilian eyes.

"You didn't know? I was competing for Alexanders...Affection. But like History shows that he picked your aunt instead of me...A shame, tho I did enjoy my time with your brown skinned uncle." She said with a malicious grin appearing on her face. "I hope that we can enjoy the same fun that he had." Keristrasza pressed her upper body closer to Starfall's side.

But thats where he drew the line. "Thank you Keristrasza, but I am not interested." He said with a commanding voice and withdrawing his offered arm.

He had expected an uncomfortable silence after his objection, but instead she just gave a amused laugh. "Not interested? I could smell your pheromones going vild the second I showed you my illusionary form, It is not a sin to bask in beauty...You cannot lie to me young prinsss" She hissed with a reptilian tongue coming out of mouth and slightly licking his cheek.

Starfall wanted to fight the build up of hormones in his teenage mind. But he was no match. The lavender scent coming off the queen was enough for any dragon or pony to be hypnotised in a daze of love. Her elegant voice stringing the air with pure harmonious echoes and her eyes could cage a unfortunate soul to her servitude for all eternity. And most of all the fact that she had the form of a human that Starfall didn't know why, but all his thoughts revolved around her as she kept her delicate hand wrapped around his arm. And the sensual licking didn't help the situation. "I...- I will reconsider your offer but right now United nations council is my priority, I will give you an answer before you depart." The dragon queens amused smile shined again as she successfully managed to wrap the weak minded prince around her momentary finger.

Unphased to Keristrasza, she was standing in front of two large doors that lead to the UN council room. "Lets enter, they are waiting for us." Starfall spoke and slowly opened the large door with his magic.


In a mountain far away from the capital of Equestria. The morning sun rose from its slumber below the world and made its presence known in the land. The light of dawn pierced the inside of a dark a lonely cave, just below its peak. The warm glow of the sun. caused the icy shapes to slowly thaw. Ice of that shape would take several hours to melt, but the presence of a ancient evil corrupted the glow to its fullest potential. As the forms slowly thawed out from their icy rest. the form of three biped human warriors were revealed, the melting process was mysteriously magnified as suddenly the humans were freed from their icy prisons. They fell to the ground. And as the drops of water slided down their face. The humans opened their eyes with a burning rage and hatred in their hearts.

"-Alexander..."
