--one year before the fall--
"What a beautiful day." said a light grey Alison with a light blue mane., laying on the grass" is it not?"
"Agreed Shadic." Said as a Pegasus with a grey mane laying next to him." I wonder when e other will get here."
"Soon daring." Shadic said, as a unicorn with turquoise fur and a whit mane walked up with a brown earth pony with black Anne." Ah, aquis and subwoof, been awhile."
"Good to see ya too mate." Subwoof said with his Australian accent." Haven't seen ya since the dagons defeat."
"Has it been ten years already?" Shadic asked smiling." I have someponies for you to meet."
"Likewise." subwoof said, then looked at two other ponies coming." Oy' geo, sparks."
"Hello old friends." spark said walking over to them with his wife geo." It been to long."
"Likewise." daring said walking up to them, then like at geo." you're expecting soon?"
"I am." Geo said as spark put one of his forelegs around her." a baby girl."
"Mom, dad." two young voices came as two colt ran two them, a unicorn and a earth pony. every pony looked at Shadic and daring with surprise.
"I wnat you to meet our sons." Shadic said." this is max, our oldest." he said motion to the cream colored unicorns with a black mane with grey streak in it." and our youngest nights."
"Hiya." nights said leaning on his back legs." Are you our dads old friends?"
"We are." aquis said walking over to nights." I guess our turn, you can come out know."
"Hi." said a white unicorn fillie with a blue mane." I'm vinyl."
"This is your daughter?" Shadic asked, subwoof and aquis nod." congratulations."
"Thanks mate." subwoof said elbowing Shadic." Know then, vinyl why don't you go play with max and nights while we talk."
"Come one vinyl." nights said." we can show you our tree fort."
"Ok." Vinyl said as the trio ran into the woods.
"So what are you going to name your future daughter geo." Daring asked as they sta down at the blanket.
"I already have Octavia, I'm thinking of naming her lily." Geo said was a smile.
--Tree fort--
"You built this?" vinyl asked as she saw the tree fort." or did you have help?"
"Dad helped us." max said as they enter the fort." But we came up with the design."
"We read a journey by one one of our ancestors named arthum." nights said as he opened the door." He called his tree fort his castle."
"Sounds cool." Vinyl said as she looked around." So whats it like having your dad as the high king of annrieria?"
"Annoying sometimes." max said as he sat in a chair." Even dad says so."
"Yeah, I mena we can hardly go anywhere unless we have bodyguards." Nights said as he looked through a telescope." It on rare occasions we get to be alone, like today."
"Have guys been to the hollow tree library yet?" vinyl asked."I heard it do big they let you sit on the branches and read."
"It amazing." max said, then a wired noise came from the forest."what was that?"
A howl was heard."Eep." Nights said scared before hiding under the table.
"Nights, you know where safe in here right?" max asked trying to clam down his brother." wolves can't climb ladders, or trees."
"What if it's a grey fang?" Night said shaking." They can climb things."
"Nights, you've been reading to many stories." max said, then a knock came from the door." It might be our parents." max opened the door." We were...just..coming..back."
"Hello kiddies." said the grey fnaf at the door in armor." Know die wingfeathers." then the wolf howled before charging in.
"RUN!!" max yelled as the trio ran between the fangs legs out of the tree fort." We need to get to mom and dad."
"I can teleport us." vinyl said running in between them." Hang on."
"GET BACK HERE!!!!!" the fang yelled chasing them, firing a arrow at them just as vinyl teleported them." Gotcha." the y fang said as there was a spot of blood form where he hit on of the kids." now I can track ya."
--picnic--
"So any word form nazo?" spark asked." It's been a awhile since we heard from him."
"Last I saw him was a few months ago." Shadic said sadly." He said he'll come as soon as he can."
"DAD!!!!!" max yelled running out of the woods with nights on his back and vinyl next to him." Nights was struck by an arrow."
"What attacked you?" Shadic asked in rage." What is in there?"
"Somehting called a grey fang." Vinyl said." we would've been here sooner, but I couldn't teleport us that far."
"I'm just glad you got them close as you can." daring said as geo used her magic to levitate nights to the picnic blanket to heal his wound." What did the fang look like?"
"It had white fur and the armor on it." Max said with tears." Why would he try to hurt us?"
" fangs of always hated us." Shadic said angrily." Subwoof with me." Shadic said as he and subwoof ran into the forest to find the fang, but only to get knocked back by a fist.
"high king Shadic." the fang said walking out of the forest with a sword." Been awhile."
"Whitewolf." Shadic said staining up charging his horn."Who sent you this time?"
"Im not aloud to give out my clients information." Whitewolf said with eviliy." All I know he just wants to you dead."
"Good luck with that." Shadic said as the fang swung his sword downwards,Shadic dodged." If I had bit for every time, a mercenary, assassin, or bounty hunter that tried to kill me, I couldn't even keep count."
"Enough talk." Whitewolf said readying an arrow." JUST DIE!!!!"
Shadic stopped the arrow with his magic." You just tried to kill a king." Shadic said scanning the arrow." That crime mean death."
"I either kill you, or I die trying," whitewolf said." Those are my orders."
"Will then." Shadic said charging a black and aiming it at the fang."'I hope you give refunds."
"what do you mea...." whitewolf said as Shadic shot a blast right through his chest.
"Now who sent you?" Shadic asked walking over the fang." Or you'll have a painfull death."
"You have no idea what you unleashed here today Shadic." the fnaf said grabbing one of his arrows." The lord of coldharbour is coming for you."
"Dagon, should've known." Shadic said grabbing the fangs arrow." Now die." Shadic said fling the arrow into the fangs head, killing instantly." How is nights?"
"He'll be fine." geo said finishing fixing the wound." I'm glad they brought him in time."
"Same here." Shadic said." what type of arrow did that fang have?"
"Black arrows." As the group looked at her with shock." only used by those how work for mehrunes Dagon."
"So nights could've died?" vinyl asked." will he be ok?"
"he'll be fine." geo said as night was sighting facing away form the group." But I'm pretty sure he's been scared for life."
"I'll go check on him." daring siad walking over to nights." Are you ok, nights?" he didn't response he was looking at the ground breathing rapidly." nights are you ok?" Daring asked again moveing his head to look it, but his eyes wre different." Shadic something wrong with nights."
"What do you me..oh no." Shadic said worried looking at night eyes, nights eyes had turn form purple to black with whit dots on them and his fur had a golden tinti to it." Geo think you can fix this?" Shadic asked even more worried." I don't wnat the smarting that happened to nazo, happen to nights as well."
"I can." geo said walking over and using her magic to make nights fall asleep." he'll be fine, when he wakes up."
"thank you." Shadic said putting nights on his back." I'll take hi to the castle. One more thing, we never tell nights what happened to him, including you max it may open old wounds."
