I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul. ~ Mahatma Gandhi Fang woke up and saw Twilight was hugging him again. He sighed and teleported her off of him and then lifted her onto his back. As his female friend rested he went out and bought her a coat with holes for her wings. He slowly slipped it onto her as she slept. Twilight yawned and hugged him tighter. Her eyes fluttered open and she floated down using her wings. A small smile grew on Fang's face. "Good morning sleeping beauty." Twilight blushed, looked around, gasped, and ran up to the clerk. "When is the next train to Canterlot?" The clerk said that a Canterlot bound train was at the station right now and that it was leaving in fifteen minutes. "Thanks! Come on Fang lets go! Celestia told be to bring you to Canterlot today!" She ran past him and grabbed his hoof and began to drag him. Fang stopped her and she looked back. "Come on! We are supposed to be at a meeting in one hour! Celestia asked for us by name! We can't be late- Woah!" She was on Fang's back now as he ran. She had to hang on for her life. She was surprised how he was not stopping at all as he ran up the hotel stairs to the roof and jumped off. He whistled and suddenly his chariot was beneath them. Fang jumped in, the gargoyles nodded to each other, and took off. Twilight got down and looked at him with what she was trying to make look like a glare. It only resulted in her receiving a nuzzle and breaking out in laughter. "OK I'll admit that was a little bit of fun." She returned Fang's nuzzle the just stayed nuzzling one another for thirty minutes. After only half an hour the gargoyles touched down in front of the castle and two alicorns got out and went inside to the throne room. Cadence was sitting there with Armor next to her. Twilight and Fang payed them no notice and just kept nuzzling each other. This got a rise of both Twilight's brother and sister in law. "Hello love birds!" There was a flash of light and Discord appeared. "Hello Twilight! Hello Fang! .......... Wait a second............ Why is Fang here!? Hes gonna kill me!" Within a second there was a growl from Fang, who drew one of his three swords, his scimitar, and placed the blade to Discord's neck. "I'm reformed! I'm reformed! I AM REFORMED!!!" Fang just growled. "Unlikely! You are a Draconeques! Your kind never chan-" Fang felt a small tugging at his tail and saw Twilight. She was shaking her head no. "Wait... He's telling the truth?" She began to nod her head yes. Fang turned back to Discord, sighed, and sheathed his blade. "Sorry... Discord. I must admit that I was hoping you were telling the truth... In always liked your chaos. I like chaos because I like harmony. Without chaos who are we to say what harmony is and vice versa." He then went back over to Twilight and began to nuzzle her once again only to be interrupted by a cough. Armor was just holding up a hoof. "Why did you attack Discord? I mean sure he caused some problems recently, but ever sense he was reformed he has done nothing but help the ponies of Equestria!" For once it was an actual question and not an excuse to stop Fang from hitting on his little sister. He waited for a second to see if he had anything more to add. He did not. Fang sighed. "My family is known for hunting demons. The only way to create a blade that can harm demons is to forge the blade itself in the fires of hell and to cool it..." He looked at Discord. "With the blood of a draconeques. We would only target the evil draconequai however... Discord is more of a mischief maker than an actual threat to Equestria." Discord was worried. "Relax Discord I'm not going to hurt you unless you become evil once again." Discord wiped the sweat off his brow. Fang and Twilight just returned to nuzzling each other. Until Celestia came in. "Hello Twilight, Fang, Cadence, Shining Armor, Discord..." She blinked and looked around. "Wheres Luna?" As soon as the words left her moth Luna ran into the room almost knocking her sister over. Luna panted. "I am here before I needed to be!" Celestia sighed. "Luna... It was not supposed to start for another ten minutes. I wanted you to be here because I want everypony to hear what Twilight's latest exploits were... She went to Stalliongrad and I want to know why." Fang responded to her for Twilight. "That was my fault... I asked her to accompany me..." Twilight got in between Fang and Armor just as her brother was about to try and punch Fang. "Twiley move! He could have gotten you killed!" Each time Armor moved Twilight blocked him. Twilight started to cry a little. "He didn't do anything wrong! If it wasn't for Fang then I would have never met Ana!" Shining just blinked. "Who's Ana?" Cadence's smile fell. "Ana is Fang's little cousin. She was possibly the youngest living alicorn in existence." Fang smirked. "Cadence I have to make a correction with that statement... Ana is the youngest living alicorn in existence." Fang's horn began to glow and a door appeared. It opened and Ana walked out. She looked around for a second. "This isn't the bathroom... Oh, hi Fang! Hi Twilight! Did you need something?" Fang nodded and Ana smiled. "Um... One second..." She ran back through the door. After a few minutes the sound of a toilet flushing was heard. Ana then walked out of the door and into the throne room. Then she ran over and hugged Fang and Twilight's legs. Cadence was speechless along with Celestia and Luna. It was quiet for a long time. "A-Ana? Is that really you?" Cadence was now slowly trotting towards Fang, Twilight, and Ana. She slowly reached a hoof out and tapped Ana's head. She collapsed toward, and hugged Ana with all her might. "I-I-It is you! Oh Ana! I thought you were dead and gone! Don't ever scare me like that again!" Ana just stayed silent for a second. A few tears dropped from her eyes and she growled. "How dare you Cadence! Getting married without telling me! The nerve!" She then smiled. "There I got the anger out. Now I can say I'm happy for you!" Ana stood on her hind legs and wrapped her forelegs around Cadence's neck. "When am I going to get another filly that I can play with?" Cadence smiled along with Twilight and Ana. "Any day now Ana... I'm pregnant and I'm due any day now..." Ana smiled and hugged her tightly. Fang smiled at his little cousins antics. Then a cough got his and Twilight's attention they turned and saw Celestia giving Fang a death glare. "Were you going to tell us that she was still alive Fang?" Twilight looked at Fang. Then she saw him shake his head no. "Why?" Fang sighed. "I was planning on getting you all to come over on Saturday in four weeks. I was waiting until then because... Because I can think of no greater present than family. I was waiting until Ana's birthday... However I am glad Twilight mentioned her because if she hadn't and I had waited until her birthday... I don't know if she would have forgiven me for keeping you all a secret." He turned to Twilight and mouthed a thank you before leaning in and giving her a peck on the cheek. Luna who was just looking at Ana and Cadence started to walk forward, then she was tripped by a cat. "Who's cat is this?" Fang slowly raised a hoof and gave a sheepish grin. "I am not a cat! I am an archdemon!!!" Cheshire was now on his back legs with his front legs up in the air. Then he fell backwards. "I've fallen and I cant get up!" Celestia raised an eyebrow. "I believe that they are not beyond redemption Celestia. Unlike you I do not just want to outright kill the demons. I want to save them from themselves. They were all ponies at one point after all." Celestia smiled. "I understand. Now Twilight I want to know what you have learned about the citizens of Fangs kingdom and the kingdom itself." Twilight smiled. "I already have." She pulled out her notes on every type of monster she has seen so far. About fifty scrolls. "One monster per scroll. I had them enchanted so I could keep writing and I would never run out of room. One of them is on Fang himself and one is about Fang's kingdom and the monsters that work in his castle." Celestia looked out the window and let her horn glow as she lowered the sun and Luna raised the moon. She then looked at Fang and Twilight. "You two and Ana are welcome to stay here tonight. I'm sorry but we only have two rooms available at the moment." Twilight smiled and laid her head on Fang's shoulder and smiled. "I will gladly share my room with Fang." Fang looked at Twilight, smiled, and nuzzled her with his fangs out tickling her skin. Celestia smiled. "I do not see any reason that should not be allowed." Luna nodded in agreement. Fang smiled and bowed. "Thank you Princess Celestia. It is my honor to be a humble guest in your grand castle." He then stood up and nuzzled Twilight and wrapped a wing around her. Twilight returned the favor and kissed him on the cheek before nuzzling him. The two reached the bedroom and got on the bed. Then they began to nuzzle each other again. Fang began to rub the sensitive mussels at the base of Twilight's wings causing her to let out a small, silent, moan. Her face grew red when she realized what she had just done. Fang did not hear it and just kept rubbing her back. Celestia was in her room reading the reports by candlelight. She was very interested on her reports about the ghouls specifically. She would have to get some silver coins from the treasure and keep them with her at all times. Suddenly the temperature dropped and her candle blew out. "Who's there?" A short laugh came from the shadows and a pony that looked like a zebra stepped out. Instead of white and black however it was black and orange. It had glowing red eyes. "Do you remember me Tia?" It slowly trotted towards Celestia. "You do remember our nights together... Don't you Tia? My love?" Celestia smiled and walked over to the tall earth pony. "Of course I remember you. I remember everything about you. Mord Donner. The tiger of thunder. An archdemon and my forbidden lover." She looked into his eyes and then they kissed. They went over to the bed and laid down, with Mord on top of her. She cast a spell so that sound would not leave they room. Then moans of pleasure began to sound in Mord's ears as he and his lover showed their love for each other in the most physical way possible.
