//------------------------------// // The Reunion // Story: Prince Of Darkness // by RegalCrescent45 //------------------------------// POV Alucard As I rejoin the waking world I feel something poking me in the leg. Cracking one eye open I see a maid of some sort trying to wake me for something I dunno. "Um, sir... the princess asked me to fetch you. She said she wishes to discuss something that happened earlier, If you will please follow me." The maid explained. *yawn* "So, what's your name miss...?" I ask trying to be polite even though every fiber of my being wants to throw up. "My name is Silver Platter, I work as a serving maid in the kitchens." She replied not looking away from where she was going. She seems to be scared of something. "Are you afraid of me Silver?" I ask already knowing the answer. "W-well it's just t-that I've n-never s-seen something like y-you before." Yep, completely scared out of her fur. "Well don't be, I'm not about to eat one of my subjects. Rest assured that I don't eat sapient beings, heck I rarely eat meat much anymore." I say absentmindedly. "Y-y-you e-eat m-m-meat?!" The mare looks downright terrified now, thanks mouth you always know just what to say! "Indeed I do, But like I said, I don't eat ponies. I haven't eaten another sentient being in over a thousand years so don't be afraid of me. It almost hurts my feelings that one of my subjects fears me so!" I give a mock pout after that last bit. "Um, Sir? Why do you call me one of your subjects? Are you related to the princesses or something? Oh, um, if you want to share..." Aaaand back to being nervous, I was hoping she would start opening up when I heard those questions come out. Even though I'm not very keen on answering them. "Well I am related to them, But I can't say how. I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you but I don't want to make Celestia angry at me again." At this point we reach another room and she waves for me to go inside. Opening the door I see a very large wooden table that looked like it could seat two dozen comfortably. Walking inside I take note of my surroundings, sitting at the table are the six mares from earlier along with Celestia and Chrysalis, I guess they really kept their promise then. I still haven't seen Luna since that night two months ago at the old castle. I might ask Celestia about that. Seeing that the seat next to Chrysalis is empty, I take my place there. "So, how did the talk go sister?" I ask. "Well I have to apologize to you and Chrysalis, I was being rather foalish. Can you forgive me little brother?" Celestia replied trying to look apologetic. "I can so long as Chrissy here does, oh and you better accept our new family member Tia, or I might be upset with you for shunning one of our own." I say without looking away from Celestia. It was at this time that the purple unicorn on the other side of the table spoke up, she seemed rather peeved about something too. "How dare you speak to the princess like that, I don't believe for one second that you're related to her in ANY WAY. I can't believe the extreme disrespect I am seeing right now." At this I look at Celestia with a raised eyebrow. "You didn't tell her did you?" "It might have slipped my mind at the time, Ally... sorry about that." She gave a sheepish smile. "Might I know your names? The only ones I know currently at this table are Celestia and Chrissy here." After a quick introduction of the group I learned that the purple one from earlier is Celestia's personal student. Go figure... I also found out that these mares were the new wielders of the Elements, and I think they couldn't be in better hooves. "Well miss Sparkle, I can speak this way to sunbutt here because of one simple fact. I'm related to her." The only jaw tat wasn't on the table was Celestia's since she already knew about me. "How? I've read every book on the history of Equestria and it never mentioned a Royal Wedding before today's!" Twilight said, not understanding what really happened and I couldn't really blame her. "You wouldn't be able to read about a Royal Wedding before this one simply because there never was one before now. Me and my wife eloped instead of having a big drawn out ceremony." Then she asked the one question I wasn't ready to answer yet. "And who was your wife anyway? I mean you keep calling Princess Celestia 'sister' does that mean your wife is-" "Me..." Oh god please not now! We look over to the door of the dining room to see a midnight blue pony with a deep blue mane standing there. Standing right there was none other than Lunicae Nebula, my wife... and boy did she look pissed. This won't end well.
