Anyways, without further adieu, the chapter! Your thoughts mean everything to me and I would love to hear from you in the comments below! Comments are 
after all, and I could not get by without them from you all!
Weeks passed by quickly as Loki, Luna, and Trixie all buried themselves in various projects. Luna was doing her best to take care of herself due to her gravid state, while Loki spent his days bringing to order a new reign in Asgard. Replacing old advisors, instating new guards who would be loyal, and handling the disputes and minor quibbles that plagued any country. When able however, he returned to Equestria to try and make his presence there not so irregular or wrong, but this did not instantly win over the hearts and minds of the ponies who lived there.
“Take this!”
While walking through the halls and making small chat with Princess Celestia, Loki found himself taking a step to the side to avoid the quick blur of blue that rushed his way. His avoided attacker crashed into the ground where he previously stood only to then tumble forward from their momentum caused from their aerial strike. Celestia gaped while Loki sighed, the latter raising an eyebrow at his would be attacker.
“Perhaps you shouldn’t announce your attacks?”
On the ground rubbing a hurt limb, Rainbow Dash looked back towards the prince with a snarl, “Oh yeah…”
Celestia was not at all pleased to see such barbaric tendencies in her castle, “Miss Dash, what is the meaning of this?”
Rainbow flapped her wings and lifted herself into the air so she could turn and start yelling towards Loki, “This creep attacked Equestria! Am I the only one who remembers that?”
Not fazed by the pony’s yelling, Loki glanced at Celestia with apologetic eyes, “Go on. I will speak things over with her.”
Celestia frowned but gave in to his plan. As she turned to leave in the hallways of Canterlot Castle, Rainbow Dash put some distance between herself and Loki.
“Oh no you don’t, I’m not going to let you mind control me again!”
Loki sighed as he placed a hand on his hip and the other on his head, “No one is mind controlling anyone here. Now calm down. I just want to talk.”
Rainbow snorted angrily, preparing to leap at Loki again, “Yeah, right. You know, I thought you were a pretty cool guy, but of course you had to be evil.”
Loki groaned as he found himself having to explain himself again. He felt he would have to do this quite a few more times before he was forgiven of his crimes, “Not evil. Controlled by a man who is evil and who would kill my family if I disobeyed him. In addition, he was controlling me the same way I turned you against your friends.”
“So…” Rainbow’s face became one of befuddlement, “You’re not evil.”
Loki could see that he was finally getting through to the Pegasus, as anger was fading and turning to the more malleable confusion, “Precisely.”
“That is exactly what someone who is evil would say though!” Rainbow countered, seguing back into anger as she growled at him.
That made Loki decide to play his trump card, “I, along with your friend Twilight, recently just helped save all known worlds from a race of monsters who sought to plunge everything into eternal darkness. Would I do that if I was evil?”
“You would if you were hoping to take over the galaxy yourself!” Rainbow once again countered, her face still showing signs of anger but also showing some more uncertainty.
At this point Loki found himself at a loss for words. Would she just doubt everything he said? He did not blame her, but it made this more difficult certainly, “What do I have to do to convince you that I am no longer a foe to your people? I am married to one of your princesses, we are expecting foals, and—”
He was cut off by Rainbow gasping, “Woah, you and Princess Luna are married?!”
Loki could see that he had his way in finally, “The official announcement has not been made here yet, but yes, we have. I would have thought your friend Twilight would have mentioned it.”
“She said she has a lot of news she wants to tell us, but that she has to wait first…Hmmm…” Rainbow crossed her front hooves before jabbing one in Loki’s direction, “Okay, you got to help me out with two things if you want to make up for all that bad stuff.”
If Loki could convince one more the more argent opponent’s to his return that he was not so bad, he could use her to assist him in convincing others of his sincerity. Whatever terms she had would ultimately be easier than confronting others without her support.
“What are they?”
Rainbow landed down on the ground and approached Loki so that she could jab him with a hoof, “One, you have to apologize to Scootaloo for getting her hurt. Even if it was an accident, you need to say sorry.”
Loki could remember there being some kind of bond between Rainbow and the poor foal who had been harmed during his invasion of Canterlot, and Loki felt sick upon remembering his part in that harm, “Of course. What else?”
“Prove you’re the cool guy I thought you were. I’m going to be pulling a prank on a friend and I may need help from someone who can do magic. Not sure egghead—I mean Twilight—will be in on it.”
That was a more light hearted request, so Loki nodded and smiled, “I think I can assist.”
Rainbow took flight again, “Meet me in Ponyville whenever you’re able. I’ve got obligations and stuff to handle there so I can’t be away from home for long. Need to be ready for the Wonderbolt Reserve training I’m doing soon.”
Loki bowed to her, “I will see you there.”
Down the hallway, another voice could be heard that Loki had grown to both love and fear.
“Oh Loki!”
He flashed a smile to Rainbow Dash before turning towards the voice calling his name.
“My wife is calling. Farewell Miss Dash. I look forward to the coming prank spree.”
“You better not let me down!”
Trixie had stayed in Jotunheim after her meeting with Laufey, sending reports home to soothe Luna’s worries. Something had come to mind that she had wanted to take care of there and so she had stayed to tend to the idea.
Upon finally returning to Equestria, Trixie stopped by the place she had been told the Dazzlings were staying. Or rather, where the Sirens were staying.
Their residence was none other than Blueblood’s house, the owner not anywhere in sight to Trixie’s relief. They had seemingly put the idiot under their spell as well or at least whomever was looking after the house for him. Trixie did not really care so long as she did not come face to face with the insufferable pseudo-prince.
The large suite that the “prince” lived in was largely empty, and surprisingly dimly lit when Trixie visited it that night. She heard the voices of the three inside, so she knew they were home, but she did not take them for the sort to go to bed early.
Taking a look around, Trixie found that one of them was upstairs and leaning against a door. Her ear was pressed against it as if she was listening in on what was going on inside, and after a moment Trixie could tell even in the dark that this one was Sonata given her giggling.
Clearing her throat, Trixie tried lighting up her horn only to remember that she had taken to using her Elf body in Jotunheim after a few days. While the Pony body was warmer, she was better able to work with her magic in the arcane-attuned body of an Elf. Instead she was forced to create light from her hands, lighting up the hallway with its glow.
Having a specific purpose behind the visit, Trixie addressed Sonata directly since the air headed girl had not noticed either the vocal throat clearing or the new light in the hallway.
“Sonata, where is Adagio?”
Sonata turned towards Trixie, her face astonished as she quickly moved to block the door with her body, “Oh, Tricksy! Uhhhh, she’s…kinda busy with Aria in there. You can totally be with me until she’s ready though! Wanna go in my room?”
Trixie tilted her head confusedly, not getting what Sonata meant by ‘be with’ but also not caring, “I do not understand,” Trixie shook her head and approached the door that Sonata was now using her body to protect, “And I must speak with our dear leader. It is important.”
As Trixie moved to grab the door handle, Sonata moved in her way and gave a sheepish smile, “Adagio’s getting…is…whatever, she’s busy with Aria! Come back in like…” her smile became more of an amused one as Sonata giggled, “I dunno, they can go at it for awhile, so…maybe tomorrow morning? You can sleep with me in my room if you want though. It was kind of lonely out here anyways!”
Trixie opened her mouth to say that she was not interested, but the sound of Adagio screaming made her pause.
“Aria!”
Trixie began to see what she thought Sonata was trying to get across: Adagio and Aria must be arguing. What nonsense. Trixie grunted as she pushed Sonata out of the way, “I am not going to wait that long.”
“Fuck! You!” she could hear Aria yelling at Adagio.
Trixie moved a hand to the handle, only to feel that it was locked with a slight touch. Not about to be stopped when her business was so important, Trixie prepared to teleport inside, “Before they yell any more, I will interrupt and hopefully stop this argument.”
Sonata reached a hand towards her worriedly, “I wouldn’t do that—”
The warning was not heeded, and Trixie teleported inside of the room that she quickly learned was a bedroom. The light coming from Trixie lit it all up and allowed Trixie full sight of the intertwined bodies of Adagio and Aria.
Intertwined, naked, hip thrusting bodies.
Trixie felt herself freeze and gape as Adagio, the one on top, paused and turned back to where the light was coming from. Aria, on bottom, growled weakly as she looked across the room at Trixie.
“Ever heard of, uh,” Adagio moving caused her to gasp, “K-knocking?”
Trixie felt herself blushing as she forced her gaze away. She had not intended to interrupt such an…intimate meeting.
“I…oh. Sorry.”
Her activity spoiled, Adagio climbed off of Aria and onto the rest of the bed. She groaned as she brought a hand up to her forehead, at which point Trixie turned out the light.
“Go outside. I’ll be there in a moment,” Adagio sighed, her voice not angry but having signs of being annoyed.
Trixie gave in to Adagio’s command and teleported out of the room, at which point she found that Sonata had since turned on the actual lights. Sonata flashed her a nervous smile to which Trixie just continued blushing, finally understanding the subtext given to her.
After a minute Adagio opened the door, now wearing a skimpy robe that must have been custom made for her in recent weeks. Trixie tried to ignore the nearly bare outfit to instead focus on Adagio’s face, which was glaring at her intensely.
“What the hell is it?”
Trixie laughed nervously, “I just…” still caught off guard, she paused and tried to gather her scattered thoughts to little avail, “Did you succeed? Is Celestia…”
Adagio crossed her arms over her barely covered chest, her face softening somewhat, “Yes, we did, thanks to the power you granted us. Did you come to take it back?”
Trixie shook her head and smiled to the leader of the group, “Oh no, you can hold on to it for now, mistress.”
Hearing Trixie call her that made Adagio’s confidence rise, and she lowered her arms to bring one over to Trixie’s head so she could pet the top of it, “That’s a good pet. Now, if you do not intend to join us, I would ask that you leave. I am sure Aria would prefer you to Sonata, but she will be moodier than usual if she is left alone too long. You learn these things after a millennium of isolation with someone.”
Trixie swallowed her breath while taking a step back and holding her hands up defensively, “Thank you, but I have matters to attend to…”
“Of course. Now goodnight, my pet,” Adagio turned back to the door and shifted her hip seductively, her eye winking as she looked back towards Trixie, “I have unfinished business of my own.”
Adagio closed the door behind her, at which Aria grunted towards her from the edge of the bed. Her bare arms and legs were crossed to Adagio’s displeasure, and the sour look on the purple skinned girl’s face killed the mood even more for Adagio.
“Why do you even trust that new girl?” Aria complained, her face scrunched up.
Sensing her partner’s displeasure, Adagio strutted over towards her in the dark room while speaking her case, “She is an Alicorn, and so our normal powers do not quite work on her, but now that she’s been so stupid as to grant us her own power I can feel my influence working on her,” when she reached Aria, she softly pushed her down onto the bed and climbed onto it to straddle her, Adagio running a hand across Aria’s cheek, “Soon enough she’ll be completely at our beck and call.”
Aria fought a moan to grab the hand that was touching her face, “I still don’t trust her. She’s the daughter of Princess Luna, whose known for being quite the loose cannon. Don’t you listen to the ponies in this town?”
That made Adagio laugh. She had done quite a lot of research on Trixie before confronting her, and that research painted the picture of a troubled, weak willed girl, “Of course I do, and I’m counting on her family’s selfish tendencies. Our dear little Trixie is currently in a place between love and hatred in the ponies here in Equestria after trying to forcibly take over an entire town. She has since tried to redeem herself, but still has the makings of quite the villain.”
She lowered her face to meet her lips with Aria, the other girl not resisting her, and after the kiss Adagio continued with a disturbing smile, “With the right push and influence…”
Adagio pinned Aria down and began to undo her robe.
Aria was less than pleased concerning Trixie, though she had something else to occupy her mind at the moment, “I won’t buy it until she proves it,” she grunted.
“You’re just worried she’ll take your spot as beta, aren’t you?”
“Shut up.”
From behind the door their other team member’s voice rang out, further interrupting them.
“Can I come in?”
Aria growled and used all her strength to yell, “Fuck off, Sonata!”
“Awww…” came the disappointed voice of Sonata, who had still been listening in.
Adagio moved a hand to cover Aria’s mouth, at which point she looked over to the door with her devilish smirk, “Actually, come in. I’m feeling hungry for blue tonight.”
“Yay!”
As Sonata came on in, Aria bit Adagio’s hand to force her to let go, letting her growl, “I said I don’t want her—”
Adagio gripped Aria by the throat as Sonata started to climb on the bed, “I’m in charge. Remember that.”
Aria should have felt fear, but this was their dynamic. She liked having it rough, since struggling against Adagio was the most fun she had managed to have across a thousand years in an unfamiliar place.
“For now,” Aria smirked right back at her, her voice soft because of her lack of air.
Not with Trixie for weeks on end was Kael, who for the first time since his awakening had been left to his own devices with no-one telling him what to do. He spent days in town performing for the foals and telling tales that painted a better picture of the family that had taken him in, others in the kitchens learning how to cook so that he could provide for himself without requiring others to tend to him as well as cook for Trixie upon her return, and he even had a trip to visit Asgard one day to see a memorial Loki was putting together for the lost Illidan.
Upon returning to Equestria Kael decided to wander the castle he was now living in, and found himself enjoying the peaceful walk quite well until he came across a small courtyard where something he could see stopped him in his tracks.
Instead of simply being content, Kael went into complete enthusiasm.
“My my. A Phoenix!”
Perched on a special stand was a red and golden Phoenix that had bright white eyes with no visible pupil, much like Kael’s own. The bird seemed to notice him as well as it turned to face him while the Prince stopped his wandering and instead approached the courtyard.
As if he had done this before, Kael approached the Phoenix with care and offered his arm gently. He whistled and the bird took flight briefly before perching on his outstretched arm, its body facing him as the bird looked at him with interest, “What is your name?”
The bird squawked at him, and Kael could see that the smart animal was amused at his question.
“Yes, I realize how silly a question that is. I thought it only polite to ask though.”
Kael winced momentarily before raising his other hand to stroke the Phoenix’s head gently, “You would have liked Al’ar, though he is a bit larger than you…” Kael paused to sigh as he remembered the Phoenix he once had what felt like a lifetime ago, “The size of this room at maximum size, actually. He was known as the Phoenix God for a reason.”
The bird nestled against Kael’s face as the Elf winced in pain again, this time the pain so great that he was forced to bring a hand to his head. After it passed for a moment he smiled to the animal and began to thank it for it’s comfort before he lost control of his body and fell to his knees from pain.
“Are you okay?”
Not having spent that much time in the castle itself except when sleeping in Trixie’s vacated room, Kael did not recognize the voice that well. He turned around to find himself facing Celestia, who had managed to get right behind him during his fit of pain. How had he not noticed her, he wondered to himself, but he was grateful for the concern shown.
Kael smiled to her as the Phoenix on his arm squawked happily to Celestia, “Yes, I am fine…” Kael rose to his feet and shook off the pain, “Just a temporary migraine. I am sure you are familiar in your current state.”
Only having met the foreign guest briefly when he first came, Celestia found herself having to fight to remember his difficult name, “You are Prince Kael’Thas, correct? Thank you for giving my Philomena company.”
Celestia had to admit that the Phoenix blended in well with Kael’s clothing, as the Elf had seen about having Twilight’s friend Rarity put together a less ruined version of his clothing after first coming to Equestria. Now he had a red and golden robe that covered his body and legs, a large mantle hanging off his robe’s pointed shoulderguards and back, covering about three quarters of his body in its crimson coloration with golden accents. With Philomena on his robe’s arm, her colors blended perfectly in.
The Phoenix, Philomena, leapt off of Kael’s arm and began to fly around him as Kael took a bow to Celestia, “You are correct, my lady. Prince Kael’Thas Sunstrider of the Blood Elves at your service.”
“It is a pleasure. I see that you are familiar with Phoenixes.”
That brought a smile to Kael’s face, memories flooding his mind. After a moment those same memories caused his smile to fade into a crease, his voice losing some of its cheer, “You know, I used to have one of these myself. His name was Al’ar, and it pains me that he was not only slain but also stolen by the same people who sought to murder me so long ago.”
His words gave Celestia pause, the princess worried about his mention of murder but also growing some sympathy for the poor man having his pet stolen from him, “I do not know what I would do if someone stole my dear Philomena. She once was taken from me, but it was by an animal enthusiast trying to tend to Philomena in a state of sickness,” Philomena landed on a hoof Celestia stretched out while speaking, “Philomena here has been my companion for some time now. I wish I had more time to spend with her, though I suppose I will now.”
Kael found himself feeling bittersweet as he looked at the bond between Celestia and her pet, “Such majestic creatures…” he paused as his head continued to throb, only to continue a moment later as if nothing happened, “The most powerful beings I know of. Beings able to transcend death itself and be born anew after life ends. The perfect companions for a race with elongated lifespans.”
More of a listener than a speaker, Celestia let Kael continue as she could see he had more on his mind. Philomena returned to Kael’s arm and began to rub her feathered head against him softly, appearing to like and trust him instinctively.
Kael began to pet her again, amused by her playfulness, “Ironic that I once was associated with these creatures. After all, I have died before only to rise from the ashes. I was slain again, and then brought to life in a realm of infinite torment. It is from there that my association with your family started, as I followed them out of that place when Trixie and Loki escaped it.”
Ever the worry wart, Celestia felt she had to confront the elephant in the room, “Who sought to kill you?”
That vanished any remaining traces of humor on the foreign Prince’s face. He remembered everything now, and that could be its own problem.
The Elf shook his head slowly and ceased his petting, “I am afraid telling you may lower your opinion of me. I have been working out my memories with Trixie, and not all of them are pleasurable. In fact, many are not.”
That would not deter the questioning of Celestia, who had much experience with others who had past misdeeds, “I have grown an acceptance for others who may have once held darkness in their hearts or done bad, so long as they work to redeem themselves.”
Seeing he was not going to get out of this one, Kael’s shoulders sank and his hands moved to his hips while Philomena returned to Celestia, “Well, then I suppose I can tell you. My race, once known as the High Elves, had our homeland destroyed in a war brought by a vicious race known as the Scourge. Undead beings who sought to use our homeland’s power source, known as the Sunwell, to rise one of their own from the dead.”
His tone became hollow, while Celestia became completely quiet, “My people were slaughtered. The survivors scattered. This was when we became known as the Blood Elves. I worked to pick up the pieces, as was my duty as prince, but my people faced a looming threat caused by the destruction of the Sunwell.”
His hand moved up to his chest, where he began to grip at the cloth, “You see, we have thrived so long on arcane energy that flowed through our bodies from the Sunwell that…with it gone we suffered from withdrawal. My people were driven to madness as their starvation of its energies slowly got to them.”
“How did you remedy this addiction? Or…” Celestia trailed off as the possibility of his race being extinct struck her.
“They’re fine…now that I’m out of the picture at least,” Kael said with intentional ambiguity, “I originally had hoped to use the Alliance, a group of the supposedly more refined and noble races, to find a cure to our addiction. However, the Alliance used my people’s weak state to cast us aside, even attempting to finish the job the Scourge began. We escaped those who would betray us in our time of need, and sought refuge with a half-demon known as Illidan who promised us a way of satiating our hunger as well as refuge from those who would persecute us.”
As if he was drained by the discussion of his past, Kael waved a hand and summoned a chair to sit on, “We lived in a land of demons and monsters for some time, yet it somehow was more peaceful than the land we had considered home. We worked to help out our original land when we could, not being heartless beings after all, but we mostly remained in our demonic sanctuary, feeding off the dark energies of the demons around us so that we might survive.”
Demons…dark energy…Celestia could tell where this was going. Feeding off the energy of a dark creature could easily lead to the corruption of the consumer. Dark energy, no matter the source, carried that innate quality. It could take time, it could be instant, it could be maddening, there was no exact science to the corruption that followed it. Both Luna, Loki, and Trixie could attest to their experiences with it. A scepter, the Nightmare, and the Alicorn Amulet Trixie once possessed all stood as examples of what such things could do.
Speaking up again, she became solemn, “The demonic energy corrupted you, I presume.”
Her understanding brought a small curl to Kael’s lip, “It did. Almost overnight I transformed from a well-intentioned leader to a monster who began plotting to destroy everything and everyone, secretly serving a powerful demon lord known as Kil’Jaeden. I worked against Illidan, who had since become a friend, and soon enough began turning against my own kind. Some Blood Elves who had not yet given into the demonic taint managed to confront me.”
He paused as he swallowed nervously, “They slew me, or at least they thought they had…” Kael sighed and shook his head as he looked to the ground, one hand going back up to his chest, “I survived, but required a giant crystal of power embedded in my chest to survive. I continued my plans, and even began using a new Sunwell to summon Kil’Jaeden. I had become little better than those who brought my people to ruin.”
A laugh escaped his lips, “It was then that I was stopped. Weakened by my original setback, I was killed for my evil plans. I do not blame those who came for my head, but I do regret how easily I fell into madness. It was completely out of character for me, as I previously had staved off my addiction quite well.”
“Yet you stand before me now, seemingly sane and in control,” Celestia added, unsure as to how that could be.
That brought a nervous face to Kael, who was worried Celestia might not be all that welcoming if he just flat out said nothing had really changed to his knowledge, “I next awoke in a land that was full of other mad, tortured creatures. Trixie and Loki assisted me in leaving, albeit unwillingly, and I have since sold my allegiance to Trixie who has promised to help me.”
While sympathetic, Celestia did not particularly care for yet another individual who could go off the rails and bring danger to her nation like before with Loki. Still, she decided to say what was on her mind in a roundabout and non-offensive manner, “Do you intend to return to your people? Your own world?”
Kael began to play with his mantle as sadness creeped into his eyes, “I do, yes, but I have a feeling it will not be quite welcome. Once I have regained my strength and found my way, I will return to them and make amends. Some research into the subject shows that perhaps an upgraded Bifrost can bring me home.”
Philomena could understand the sorrow in his voice and face too, so she flitted back to him and landed in his lap. Once there, she rubbed her head and beak against his chest, the sight of which made Celestia sigh sorrowfully. For Philomena to be so enamored with him meant that he was a good person, as Celestia had never known Philomena to misjudge someone’s character, but the fact remained that Luna had now indirectly dragged a second damaged prince into their lives.
“I wonder what it is that draws my sister and her student to such damaged foreign princes,” Celestia pondered out loud.
Not about to let her have the last word, the Blood Elf smirked up at Celestia as he pet Philomena, “Perhaps there is a certain attraction to the downtrodden shared by others who have actually suffered themselves.”
Caught off guard by the boldness displayed by his statement, Celestia was unable to respond by the time Kael whispered to himself, “I wish that perhaps…”
The apprehension in Celestia’s heart faded as she noticed that beneath the green glow of Kael’s eyes there were tears falling. Celestia felt bad for judging him, though her experience blindly trusting Loki put her in a place of uncertainty about it all.
Philomena took flight and began to fly above them both in circles, to which Kael smiled slightly while continuing to cry, “If only I were as free as a wild Phoenix. Sometimes living down here can be too heavy on the heart and the mind,” he paused as his weak voice went on, “I forget sometimes where I end…”
Her pity reaching its high point, Celestia approached the prince and sat down across from him so she could lift a hoof up and place it on his shoulder, “You are not going to go on any villainous campaigns to conquer this land like the last foreign prince to live here did, are you? If not, then I have no issue with you remaining here.”
Kael brought a hand up to touch the hoof, the man appreciating her gesture of goodwill, “Of course not. Everything I do now I do at Mistress Trixie’s pleasure. She only wants the best for your people, so that is what I shall seek too. She already knows all of this…”
His eyes noticed something about Celestia, which made him smile happily, “I see that you are expecting. Congratulations.”
“Thank you. My due date is approaching, and while I have some time before it comes I am not sure how much I am looking forward to that. It is a whole new level of responsibility.”
A flash of purple, black, and red nearby in the courtyard drew the attention of both of them as Trixie made her sudden entrance that star filled night.
With Trixie now there, Kael stood up so that he could greet her but first he decided to say farewell to the others, “I wish you the best, but it appear that I have something to take care of now. Farewell, my lady,” he nodded to Celestia and then turned to Philomena, who had returned to where she had been when he first arrived, “Philomena.”
Trixie ignored Celestia and grabbed Kael with a hand, “Let’s go to our room. I need to work off some stress.”
Just as quickly as she arrived, Trixie departed with Kael in tow. Celestia managed to see that Trixie was blushing red and was completely flustered. What had she just done beforehand that made her so out of it?
Also, more importantly…
“They are sharing a room?”
Philomena squawked in response, to which Celestia sighed. She wished she had an actual companion like Luna and Trixie, as nice as it was to have a pet. Discord was simply not as regular or reliable as their partners as much as Celestia wished he was.
Despite being pregnant, Luna had done her best to continue getting exercise albeit at a reduced rate. So Loki was forced to accompany her as she walked around and hugged him tightly the entire way.
Luna was happy and did not want anything to ruin the feeling of contentment she had.
“Loki,” Luna purred as they made their way through the halls. Loki had been steering them towards the section where their rooms were, since it was getting pretty late to be up and active. Luna needed her rest after all.
“Luna, you are awfully clingy today.”
Luna bumped him with her hip, knowing full well he would and could not retaliate, “Shut up and let me hug you.”
Loki rolled his eyes, “How are you feeling?”
“Like I weigh far more than I should. If I were a horse at least the weight would be equally distributed. Now my back hurts,” Luna pouted. As the months went on the bulge of her stomach had grown at an almost exponential rate. In fact, she was so large that most would assume she was at the end of her term instead of only partway through like she was. Celestia was far farther along and about the same size, though unlike Luna Celestia only had one child.
“Well do not blame me. You are at as much fault as me.”
Luna groaned at the truth in his words, “More, actually, since I instigated the majority of our…exchanges.”
“At least we have the hardest part, that of naming, done.”
“Yeah, hardest for you,” Luna pouted again as she brought a hand to rub against her distended stomach, “Sleep Near and Hela,” Luna paused as she thought about their future daughter, “You…you don’t think our daughter will become that…”
Loki brought her into an embrace quickly but softly, silencing her as he spoke, “We can try our best to keep her from that path, but we will see.”
Luna returned the hug and lowered her face into Loki’s chest, feeling a bit silly with how they were separated by a large stomach and her extended chest, “You know, I look like I should be at full term right now, but I feel like I’m nowhere close.”
“You are carrying twins after all, and you are decently along. In addition, I hypothesize that Sleep Near is going to be born as a foal and Hela an Asgardian.”
The thought of how that would fit made Luna’s face grow pale beneath its blue fur, “What makes you say that?”
“I can sense magic better than I used to after my time in Hela’s world, in addition to a resistance to darker magics,” Loki paused so he could run a hand over the blue dress that covered Luna’s taut stomach, “And the two beings inside of you are giving off different power levels, even though they should be about the same if they are of the same race.”
“Oh great…” Luna grunted as she thought about how to handle this development, “At least my shapeshifting should help with the birth, but I am still not looking forward to the effort.”
“I was not sure whether I should mention it before, but they appeared to be shifting forms inside of you before. Changes in shape and power in instant spikes either way. They have settled down now though the past month or so.”
“I thought it was early for them to be kicking…” In revenge for not saying so sooner, Luna found a perfect punishment for her dear lover, “It is reasonably late, Loki, and I am on leave from my duties so I think we should turn in for the night. Carry me.”
Loki could understand why she was doing this to him in addition to the romantic aspect of it, but he was not actually looking forward to it that much because understanding did not mean it would be easier on his poor arms and his own back, “You weigh a massive amount, Luna.”
Luna brought a hand up to her chest and stuck her tongue out at Loki, “And some of that added weight you have been enjoying previously, since pregnancy apparently comes with natural enhancements in your species, so be quiet and carry me.”
Not being able to argue against that, Loki swept Luna up into his arms despite her shape and weight because of his increased strength from the changes Hela made to him over his time in Hel.
They were close to the rooms already though, and the two were content with silence for the few moments before some muffled voices coming from Trixie’s room interrupted that.
“Wow that sucked…let’s try again.”
Luna looked at Loki with a raised eyebrow. That sounded like Kael, which wasn’t suspicious by itself, but it sounded like he was talking to someone.
As the two reached Trixie’s door and began to pass it, Luna pulled on his shirt, “Wait Loki.”
“I’ll…your…upside down.”
Luna helped herself down from Loki’s arms and began staring at the door.
“Perhaps I underestimated you…”
That was Trixie.
“Do not get too comfortable.”
Kael…
“Obey me…”
“Bow to my…”
At that point Luna spoke up with aggravation, “Okay, this is driving me insane, just what are they doing?”
“Are you sure you want to go in there?”
Loki stepped out of the way as Luna approached the door and opened it. What was inside gave both Luna and Loki pause and confused them both.
“Just what is going on here?” Luna questioned as she looked inside with extreme confusion. The room was scattered, books and other objects were strewn about the room’s floor, other’s hung in the air as if gravity was not working on them, and in the middle of it all was Trixie on top of Kael.
Trixie, who had Kael’s shirt and only his shirt on her pony body, looked up to Luna while biting her lower lip, “Kael and I are…practicing magic…while also reliving some of his memories…” Trixie swallowed heavily before continuing, “Particularly, those when he was at his strongest…”
Luna nodded slowly, “I see.”
Trixie glanced down at the shirtless Kael, who was laying on top of his tattered cloak in what appeared to be fear of Luna. After glancing down at him, Trixie looked back up to Luna with embarrassment and climbed off of the Elf, “It isn’t what it looks like.”
Kael sat up now that he did not have a pony pinning him to the floor, his hands brushing off the dust now on his exquisite mantle, “I must admit however that this does look quite suspect. My only concern is to why your daughter feels entitled to my shirt after defeating me. I was using it.”
Loki excused himself at that, not being able to keep a smirk off his face and barely keeping himself from laughing at the whole display. Luna however just looked in utter confusion at her student who had been so bold to take his shirt off and wear it herself, “It just came off and it felt and smells nice. Is it not customary to loot your defeated foes of their valuables?”
Kael and Trixie began to bicker about the rightness and wrongness of taking someone’s clothing, at which point Luna stepped in and stood between them.
“Okay, I need to have a talk with Trixie. Kael, would you mind leaving us?”
The Elf stood up and pointed at the red cloth now worn by Trixie, “I—”
“Leave the shirt. I’m sure you will get it back later,” Luna grunted, not wanting him there any longer so she could have this important talk.
“But—”
“Now, Kael.”
At that he stepped out and quietly closed the door behind him, understanding that Luna wanted this mother-daughter talk. Once alone, Luna smiled at Trixie.
“His shirt? Really Trixie?”
Trixie turned her head away as she sat down and grew an embarrassed appearance, “I…” she glanced up at Luna, “So? It does feel nice. I think he had it made of silk.”
Luna held her hands up in surrender, “Fine, whatever you say Trixie. So long as you promise me one thing I won’t say another word on the matter.”
“What is it?” Trixie eagerly asked, not wanting to be teased any longer.
Luna stepped to the door, opened it, and once she was halfway out Luna turned around with a cheeky smile, “Go on a date.”
Trixie guffawed, “D-date?” Luna’s smile staying as it was made Trixie realize that Luna was serious, but she did not want her to be, “You must be joking!”
That brought only laughter to Luna, who began to leave, “I expect at least one grandchild. Your work begins now.”
Trixie’s jaw dropped, “Work?” the door shut behind Luna and Trixie called after her, “Mother, I—”
Now alone, Trixie stomped her hoof down, “Hmmph! As if I would subject myself to those hormonal imbalances. I have enough on my plate as it is.”
A polite knock on the door came before Kael opened the door and poked his head in, “So, about my shirt—”
“I’m keeping it until you can beat me and take it back.”
Kael stepped in fully, his hands pulling his large cloak around his bare abdomen to cover what he could with it, “That is unfair. All of my magic comes from you, there’s no way I can win!”
Trixie tilted her head up snootily, “I recommend looking into alternative clothing then. My magic letting you be powerful again and feeding your addiction, my rules.”
Realizing there was little he could do, Kael gave in to her, “At least I still have my cloak…”
That made Trixie laugh, since why would she want to take something so large that she would be tripping in? At least, in this particular body and not her real body or her Elven one, “And you may keep it. That silly thing is too large and would only get in the way.”
Feeling his sense of fashion insulted, Kael turned his head away, “Hmmph. What was your mother talking to you about anyways?”
Trixie decided to not lie but also not get into the actual subject, “Something about children. Probably because she is about to have a pair herself.”
Kael wandered over to Trixie so he could pat her on the head, making her feel embarrassed and exacting some revenge on her, “You will make a most interesting aunt.”
Trixie snorted, “One of those kids is going to grow up and imprison the two of us in Hel. I am not exactly looking forward to seeing the living incarnation of death no matter how young and adorable she may be.”
“Perhaps she can grow up to be better than the one we had the misfortune of meeting?” Kael offered, not particularly fond of the previous one who had him linger on in torment in his most degraded form.
“I hope. I don’t want to go back,” Trixie whispered.
“Of course we don’t,” Kael laughed as he patted Trixie on the back, “Now, I hate to bother you again about the issue, but the cold is quite uncomfortable. My chest is quite chilled right now.”
“Use a blanket if you want to stay warm. But stay on your specified half of the bed. No touching.”
“Would it not just be easier for me to have my own room?”
“Shut up and take the blanket. I got it because it is red, your favorite color.”
“Actually, my favorite colors are blue and purple. Red is the color of my people.”
“Oh…”
“You thinking about her.”
“I think I am going to go and see her soon…”
“Do you want me to come?”
No…I’m fine.

It's definitely not what it looks like, Luna. Trixie must really love silk or something in particular that Kael has, anyway that was an entertaining chapter with everything in it.
Why do you continue to give me ships! Also, bottom left drawer, false bottom, a "Starswirl" had it put in.
Awwwww.
ALso mama wants grandkids to spoil.
Jeez I'm tempted to read this just to see your take on what it means to be a "Pariah" and to see if you were actually able to properly capture its true meaning.
5436505 Doooooooo eeeeiiiiiit!
Seriously, this is a great story, has-kept-me-up-till-3-in-the-morning-multiple-times/10.
5435559
I noticed several grammar mistakes, I recommend you read over the chapter again unless you want me to pick them out in particular,
and because I know you hate people just leaving grammar corrections and no style or content suggestions . . .
I'm stopping right here
Kael and Trixie leaving together to get rid of stress. Bow chikka wow wow.
Luna finds them practicing magic. FUUUUUUUU
What is Trixie intent to do with the Sirens? Leaving them around doesn't seem quite healthy...
It seems Trixie is playing the Sirens like a bunch of suckers and they really think that they are in control, its really fascinating how full of themselves at least Aria and Adiago are and i suspect that the the time spent with those two basically alone in the human world unhinged Sonata a bit.
it kind of seems to me that Kael sounds very off to me or is it that he just regained his memories but not his mindset from before he fell? Like remembering stuff someone else did? Also i kind of doubt that he would have accurate recollection of the time after his death in TK because from that point onward he was just a puppet to the Legion with shreds of his old personality intact.
Top kek at this part though and i think we all can agree that while being a great expasion BC absolutely mutilated Illidan and Kaels characters to the point where even the devs answer to the question why we would kill Illidan was, and i quote here, "Because he drops epics"
5436337 Definitely not what it looks like
Not what it looks like at all 
His shirt must just feel really good and be all silky! 
That explains it.
Glad you thought it was entertaining
Quite a few bits of humor in it.
5436434 Hahaha, what ships have I given you now?
And I don’t get the whole drawer-Starswirl thing. What?
5436472 Awwww what?
There was quite a bit of awwww.
And yes, mama wants grandkids to spoil
Luna wouldn’t be the most spoiling of grandparents though. She’d be the grandparent who is fun but still tells you how you should act and what you should do.
5436813 That fake out was so obvious that I cannot be blamed for any disappointment in it not actually happening.
I mean, this is Trixie, who fainted upon realizing that being an Elf meant she had breasts.
She took his shirt though. Does that count for anything?
5437100 You will have to see as things play out
I mean, it SEEMS Trixie is just going along with whatever they’re doing. We’ll have to see where things go from there 
5439080 Trixie is doing as Trixie will do
The Sirens think they’re awesome since they’ve gone up against nothing but humans for a thousand years, so Adagio has a big ego to go with her. Aria is contrarion, while Sonata has the mentality of a child. Not exactly the most mentally stable crowd 
There’s a reason Kael is the way he is, but I don’t want to spoil anything just yet
I mean, Kael was supposed to be a bit off, so I’m glad you picked up on that. 
There’s a reason for it all.
I just had to put in that line, because that is the voice of the people concerning the expansion: good gameplay, bad story. I like Blizzard a lot, I like their stories, but it is important for any group to realize when it does something poorly so that it can do it better in the future and so that everyone can be happy! As such, the butchering of Illidan and Kael is astonishing when put up against how well the writing was for them previously. Could we have not worked with them, a neutral entity, to face off against the Legion as it attempted to encroach on their lands? Could we have not stood alongside Illidan against Kil’Jaeden invading Azeroth and Outland both? The current frame has it that we needed them to be loot droppers, but the whole frame of the expansion could have been different. AKA, fighting Burning Legion instead of Illidan’s forces. That way we could have Illidan and Kael retain their characterization and also give the players their lovely purples.
So yeah, that Kael line is just a small nod to what so many players have said and thought about that whole ordeal
Glad you liked it.
Mind brainstorming more for Trixie/Kael story?
5439670 Yep, definitely explains it.
The humor just connects very well with everything else. 
5439672 Well obviously, the Kael X Trixie ship has set sail at last. Also, how many genius level unicorns do you think there really are? Starswirl the bearded is more of a title or position than it is a single unicorn who cranks out spell books that revolutionize the relevant magic spells. Some of them would have to be rather promiscuous with their studies and how they got the go ahead to practice some incredibly difficult and obscure spell with untold side effects. What are the odds of one of them using that room?
5439673 And she wants great grand kids too.
5439675 I know. I just really wanted to write that comment.
5439690 It obviously doesn't have to do with any form of interest, especially not concerning the owner's own qualities such as his long, pointy ears or mesmerizing, glowing green eyes
Well, good that you've had a good dose of humor, as things are going to get a little more serious until the major threats of the story are defeated
5439926 Oh, okay
I just was unsure since there were quite a few pairings brought up in that chapter, so Trixie x Kael was just one of them 
But yes, it seems to have finally sailed. 
Let us now see just where it goes, since we're not quite done yet with everything. 
Still not getting the whole Starswirl thing fully.
Sorry.
5440533 Luna's not getting that far ahead of herself, but of course she does because great grandkids=more heirs to her bloodline, and Luna's old fashioned like that.
She'd just be happy with a silver haired, purple eyed Blood Elf at this point. 
5441051 Haha, okay
Sorry for the obvious fake out, but I just had to do it when I noticed how I was framing the chapter.
5441132 Condoms or an anti-fertility spell on a scroll. A drunk or high mind is not the best way to bring a kid in to being. Ponies, asgardians, humans, and frost giants can all agree to that line of thought.
5441164 Oh
Not sure they're at that step just yet. I mean, after all, Trixie is a bit sheepish about such subjects. And I'm pretty sure that even Luna wouldn't want them to have kids just yet...
Also, being high on magic is the norm for Blood Elfs
5441175 Which is why I didn't bother including them. Of course, that probably is why they were tied to the Sunwell, so very literally.
5441131 But, of course.
5433906
I'm sure she'd love that, just not the baking process
Why don't you get to eat it that often?! That's blasphemy! that may be true but with you, everything's a possibility. I just need to make sure you know what price such a thing might come at 
Hey, it might.
The more you deny something, the more the accuser is going to think you're lying. Okay, fine. Definitely is.
Well, I honestly don't know what might happen, then.
Of course he would, this is Loki. If you're not worth him making an effort, he'll just insult you.
Yeah, that's why I love Trixie more than I do Twilight. I mean, taking away outside things, as characters themselves without their aids or lack therof, they're both pretty easy characters to like, both are pretty similar in most ways. What separates them is their lives and all they've accomplished to get where they are now.
You're the Human Hela.
Oh I'm pretty sure I will. and well, 50% a majority of the time, maybe more or less on occasion
Everything should play out rather smoothly considering it's Trixie running the show form here on out, basically.
Maybe I didn't know what you meant! Ever considered that?!
5441403 Who knows? After all, from what I hear sexuality is quite the biological thing, so perhaps Trixie turning into a different being (that being a replica Blood Elf) would lead to her having different preferences. So maybe Trixie would like the baking process, or at least not be so aversive to it when in a different body with different biology
Just a theory. And I don't eat fresh bread since I don't know how to cook it nor do I have a place to just go and get it freshly made right out of the oven. And people have already declared that Trixie/Kael is now a thing here, so I'm not going to disappoint them 
Or at least, not do so in any way they'll see coming.
And yeah, the more one protests something or some idea the more suspicious it is.
Happens a lot with people who protest against gay people, and then turn out to be gay themselves. The reason is this: If you don't have a dog in that race, what does it matter to you? So since it's not an issue to you personally, why would you protest so much? So Trixie denying her choking or magic draining fetish does not help matters at all 
It'd be funny to have Rainbow be a reader of Twilight's material, just for the lolz.
Yeah, basically, unless he doesn't even feel like insulting you
Sorry Twilight, Trixie is more best pony than you on sheer merit
Yes, I am the human Hela because I based Hela's personality on the minds of crossover writers like myself
Trixie will pull more weight than here in the other story, so long as she is able and should be carrying weight
When she shouldn't carry weight she won't 
Trixie is running the show, just like any good showmare should!
I did consider that, then I remembered that you're a jerk who likes making things difficult
5441468
That makes sense, I suppose
I can't really know how it would work since we don't have shapeshifting asexuals to ask about their experiences 
But theories are close enough. Well then. Learn, dammit. LEEEAAAAAAAARRRNNN. Yeah, the last bit of that sentence is a crucial little addition. You're gonna break a lot of hearts.
Unfortunately the default defense mechanism is denial which really doesn't help in most cases
Esepcially if you really, really suck at lying, it'll be an easy tell from the start. And I don't know why people are bothered so much by what doesn't affect them or anyone else, really. If it were causing damage to people's lives and you just wanted to stand in support of doing away with it, fine. When it's not doing a single thing to anyone, what's your problem? For all you know, she just might be. 
I think that would actually be more insulting
Funny thing is, Twilight would probably understand that reasoning
Yes, yes, I know. Hence the mention of it
Well, even if she shouldn't be carrying weight that doesn't mean she's gonna step aside, now does it?
Well she was a showmare for nearly half her life.
Hey, I may be a jerk who sometimes likes making things difficult, but that doesn't mean that's the case all the time
*Slowly claps* Bravo my dear author, Bravo.
You have achieved something that brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
The Dazzlings and Trixie when trixie walked in, had me laughing so hard I started to cry.
Well done..
also trixie wants sontra?
5449523 Haha, thank you
What have I achieved though?
I've been looking forward to that bit with the Dazzlings and Trixie for awhile now
Like, really been looking forward to having that awesomely awkward bit 
What is sontra and why would Trixie want it?
5449205 Yeah, just trying to think about it rationally. It'd be like how changing one's species/gender while transforming would alter one's brain chemistry since they would then be like whatever they turned into. In this way, would it be possible for someone to transform into the opposite gender and have different interests? It would be interesting to study if shapeshifting were real and possible. And yes, I will break many a heart, I just hope I can be forgiven
No, it doesn't really help but it does help one be caught in whatever they lie about
And people like to impose themselves in other people's lives unncecessarily because they feel they have to on some personal level. If everyone is not just like their own self they feel uncomfortable.
Depends on what Loki's goal would be
If he's just trying to be friendly, then there is no harm.
Poor Twilight, understanding why she isn't nearly as good as Trixie
Trixie isn't as bullheaded as Luna, Trixie would be more content just lounging about and being pampered while she's not supposed to carry weight, so she would be more fine stepping aside. Also, she would be willing to step aside if it meant she wouldn't be forgotten and if she had to.
This is merely the next step in being the ultimate showmare
You're making it the case right now
5449723 you made me cry from laughing.
I dont normally cry at all, from anything.
also I'm not sure on the last bit, brain is not working fully, I was just going off the last line... you tease...
5451550 Oh, okay
Be prepared to cry in other ways soon enough 
Did you mean "Sonata"?
As for teasing, I teased a lot more in the chapter, but Trixie wanting Sonata was not part of that. Sonata and Adagio wanting Trixie was teased, and Adagio wanting Sonata because Trixie wasn't willing was teased, but Trixie just "noped" out of the whole situation.
Telling you the her in the PM you sent me.
5451612
Yea... I'm still trying to wrap my head round thw whole situation...
Be prepared for more crying? hell you are going to have to top this chapter
5451620 The Sirens are a threesome. Trixie's heteromantic (asexual, but romantically attracted to men). Does not match.
And I need not top this chapter in the way it made you cry, as I will be making you cry in different ways
5451647 one thing you should know, I don't cry, not for sadness, nor happiness, nor from laughter.
To get me to shed tears again, it will have to be good.
Savvy?
5451665 I am still completely confident I will succeed in making you cry
Not only will it be good, but there will be multiple opportunities to cry.
Have fun with that
5451678 Challenge accepted
5452188 Just try not to be additionally tough because of said challenge though
5452200 I'll be myself
5449847
I dunno, I mean, even though you're changing your appearance and everything, you're still basically the same person, I mean it's not like you copy every single detail of the being you're turning into so in reality, it's like someone took your brain out of your body and put in another one. Same you, internally, different you on the outside. I already don't forgive you
Sucks to be that person in such a situation
Times like those are when lying's good for you 
But we don't have people being uncomfortable, we have people being major assholes just because they read a book about an invisible guy who supposedly hates them, even when they so fervently believe that everything they see was created by him and him alone.
Maybe, but I doubt he'd be very friendly to someone trying and failing to get rid of him
Maayyybe, but she'd still love some of the spotlight even if in short breaks in between rests
So she'd step aside, but she'd still jump in every now and then just to make sure nobody forgets her existence.
One would say she's already the ultimate showmare.
Oh that I'm very much aware of
And here we're plagued by a very different kind of Scourge, seeking to destroy our hearts by stomping it to bits, then impaling those bits on spikes and putting it on display for all to see
You know, I didn't expect Dash to be the one to confront Loki but I suppose it makes sense. Seeing as how she's rather hard headed and the shoot first, ask later sort of pony. Applejack would be another one he might have trouble with. The question is, will he?
I must say, ponies wearing human clothes, mostly like how Trixie wore just Kael's shirt in this chapter, are incredibly adorable
Now, I know last chapter I provided you with the perfect comment, but for now you'll have to deal with momentary mentions and eventual expanding of replies as it goes along
5457777 Oh hush, it's a coincidence that I find to be hilarious since my username comes from Transformers :ranibowlaugh:
I felt that it was about time I brought Dash back since she never got the chance to reconcile with Loki after initially being friendly to him.
Ponies wearing Elven clothes
Elven clothes made by ponies 
Boy this story is mind-screwy! 
But yes, the reason it happened was that it was both adorable and hilarious, since it leaves the question of "how did she get it off when he's still wearing his mantle over it" in addition to the whole stealing someone's shirt after beating them up like what happens in RPG's. 
How about the Trixie run in with the Sirens?
I mentioned the Siren's...relationship wouldn't be subtle awhile back, and that wasn't a lie 
5457704 You wouldn't be the same person though, since your body's brain chemistry plays a huge role in your thoughts, decisions, etc, etc...changing to a different species body and mind would bring about quite a lot of changes one would imagine! Perhaps not a 100% change between similar species, but even changing to a different member of one's own species would alter their brain chemistry enough to cause a shift. So it's an interesting topic that sadly we cannot explore.
Unless it's someone harmless like a pony, as was the case with Rainbow Dash in this chapter
Then he wouldn't even be annoyed since there was absolutely no threat.
Everything does, like having a powerful artifact of dark magic!
Haha, yeah, Trixie wouldn't be able to let go of the spotlight even if she wanted to
She'd still have to be the center of attention and be adored by everyone in order to not feel insecure. 
One ready for the ultimate showdown
Extremely late comment over due, so I will begin by sing that I am really sorry for that and that it is mostly not my fault. Mostly.
A funny chapter as there ever was one, poor Trixie sure walked into that awkward position. Along with with ending up on top of Kael with his shirt off and on her. At leas now she knows what is expected of her from her mother, at least one grandchild. Oh the fun that will come when the dat actually does happen.
5461740 It's okay
You can make up for it when the next chapter comes out in about 24 hours! 
Poor Trixie was placed in quite the awkward position, but she kind of has herself to blame for that since she just barged in
As for the shirt, she seems perfectly fine with that since she finds it comfy or so she tells us
He seems less pleased with being deprived of his new clothing, while Luna and Loki are just plain amused/confused. 
Fun times all around!
And yeah, Trixie has been given her quota and Luna already told her to start on the job. Luna has all those hormones to fall back on as an excuse, but still it's funny that before she's even technically a (natural) mother, she's asking for grandchildren
Since Luna's pretty old-school her line of thinking goes like this: marry into power and have children to solidify the marriage. Since her own plan to only have one child has been ruined, Luna has decided not to care and is fine with multiple offspring and as such expects a minimum of one from Trixie. Bloodline and all, even if Luna and Trixie only share some life energy and not actual blood. 
Still, it would be/will be hilarious if/when Trixie does have kids so that Luna can be satisfied
5458514
I still stand by it not causing much of a change, but neither of us can prove ourselves right or wrong, unfortunately >~>
As much as I'd love to explore this further, hypothesizing is all we can do about this.
True
Besides she was cool with him once and I guess he sees her just being careful and hard-headed as usual.
Exactly. Something that's common in your story, it would seem.
Well, can you blame her? She's just a natural for the spotlight!
And she's got this in a bag, already.
5458482
I shall not hush for it is true!
And a good choice that is! No need to have Dash be antagonistic towards him. She may not be able to do muhc by herself, but she can do enough to be a pain.
Considering who's writing it? This isn't too much.
And I see she's already getting in some practice for her coming adventures that would require her to loot things off the bodies of her fallen foes.
Oh yes, that was anything but subtle, but sadly it was for poor Trixie
There's a reason doors exist, and are locked at certain times, Trixie. Stahp teleporting in when you know two people are alone and wish to be that way for a time 
5463822 Yeah...and I doubt either of us will be around long enough to find a way to test our theories
Something common in my story? You mean like a...a...a theme? Perish the thought!
Almost like I've been setting stuff up to actually mean something and lead to something for a long time!
She's a natural, and hopefully her foals will be too
She's got this in the bag since the very beginning since she's so far ahead of everybody else
