Missing Pieces

Chapter 2

It has been less than a week since Rear Admiral (Upper) Justice Silverlight and his wife Galactic Technician Officer Celestia Silverlight arrived at the dig site of the ruined city of horses called Majing. During that time, the two Ancient Alicorns has helped the research scientists uncover about 10% of this ruined large city. The single largest structure to be excavated is the northern forbidden palace at the center of the city.

The numerous documents translated by Galactic Technician Officer Celestia Silverlight the Rear Admirals' (upper) wife call this place the home of the Emperor, the king of peace. Other than that, the Emperor of this city has not been named in any of the translated documents so far. The running theory among the Research Scientists at the site is that the Emperor is bigger than life Equine. But both Rear Admiral (Upper) Justice Silverlight and his wife Galactic Technician Officer Celestia Silverlight disagree with that prevailing theory. Evidence suggests their more layers to this ruined city of horses called Majing then the Research Scientists realize.

In a recently excavated small house in the farmer's quarter of Majing, the two Ancient Alicorns work together carefully cleaning off broken pieces of pottery recovered from inside the ruined home.

"Justice, as much as I want to believe that Majing was run by horses. I have serious doubts about that prevailing theory. The evidence I have translated from documents and artifacts you have uncovered throughout Majing suggests their more to this city then the science team realizes." Celestia said concerned as she felt a romantic kiss on her soiled cheek cause her eyes to blink excessively, and she blushes.

"You know, I always sided with my beautiful Sun Princess, especially went the evidence point that way," Justice said lovingly as Celestia chuckled like a school-age filly.

"Thank you, my love," Celestia said thoughtfully as she returns the kiss on his cheek.

"So let's finish collecting these artifacts and take them back to the storage bunker. Because it looks like my beautiful Sun Princess deserves an hour's foot rub on both her feet. But not until I tease those perfectly round and softballs of your feet, my love." Justice said loving as Celestia chuckled, and the two Ancient Alicorns carefully packed up the delicate pieces of pottery into a padded box to return it to the storage bunker.

~It was a few weeks later in the medium-sized city of Ji-Nian Xiong 321.87 kilometers north-east of the dig site of the ruined city of horses called Majing in the state of Zhou~

It once again a free day from the dig site for Rear Admiral (Upper) Justice Silverlight and his wife Galactic Technician officer Celestia Silverlight this day. They find themselves 321.87 kilometers north-east of the ruined city of Majing in the State of Zhou in the medium-sized town of Ji-Nian Xiong. In small traditional clothing store in the city, Celestia has been fitted with a white yukata, a casual cotton summer kimono with a gold embroidered floral pattern on the garment. Around her, perfectly shaped waist was red 9.3 ft long thin piece of cloth called heko obi tied in traditional butterfly knot (Chocho Musubi). On her, fairly large, full, thick, and plush white bare feet were traditional geta sandals.

Waiting for the shopkeeper to finish dressing his wife Celestia Silverlight in the garment was her husband, Justice Silverlight. She promised him if he comes with her to this traditional clothing store to help her pick-out casual cotton summer kimono for herself. For one full day, she would wear this garment with the geta sandals barefooted. During that day, her feet are fair game for Justice; he may do what he likes to her large alicorn feet. As the curtains divide, Celestia gracefully walks toward her husband, wearing the geta sandals on her plush white bare feet.

"So, what do you think, Justice?" Celestia asked shyly and humbly as Justice stands up and caresses her chin with his fingers of his right hand.

"What I think is that you look even more gorgeous then you normally do, my dear Sun Princess," Justice said affectionately as Celestia regard with an open fondness toward her husband and plants a tender kiss on his lips.

A few moments later, outside the shop, the Ancient Alicorns couple wearing their safari outfits climbs into the land rover after carefully storing the boxed casual cotton summer kimono with all the accessories in one of the heavy-duty storage boxes on the back of the land rover. As the two Ancient Alicorns drive toward the outskirts of the city of Ji-Nian Xiong, on their way back to ruin city of Majing. The two begin to discuss the day she will fulfill her promised to wear the garment all day and give Justice full access to her plush white bare feet. Simultaneously the two ancient Alicorns spot through the side mirrors the car following them down the bumpy road.

"Have you notice the tail, my love?" Celestia comments as she was pretending to check her make-up in the side mirror.

"It had been following us since we left the city limits on this road back to Majing, my love. As the car has not attempted to run us off the road. I am going to assume they are following us to see where we are going." Justice explains, reaching over and caresses Celestia's perfectly shaped white with a hint of pink thigh from the hem of her shorts to her knee and back up.

"The gull of those people, thinking they could follow us without us knowing. I didn't rule a land for one thousand years, being ignorant. And I can bet it slap against your Solar Guard pride, being such an obvious surveillance operation." Celestia said, miffed as she watches a dark blue magic aura form around her shoelaces and begins to untie them.

"You want to end this obvious surveillance operation most dramatically, my love. Sound like fun." Celestia said elated as she watches her boots float off her feet, followed by her socks. She wiggles her shapely, but not too long toes that were the perfect length for her unassuming white with a hint of pink Alicorn size feet.

At the halfway point on the road between the city of Ji-Nian Xiong and the ruined city of Majing, Justice pulls the land rover to the side of the road. The car follows suit and pulls to the side of the road. The driver of the car watches as the two Ancient Alicorns climbs into the back seat of land rover and disappears behind the heavy-duty storage boxes on the back of the land rover. The driver waits for a few minutes before finally getting annoyed with the two Ancient Alicorns parked on the side of the road.

As he drives up beside the parked land rover, a pair of white with a hint of pink Alicorn size feet shoots into the air, and the toes begin to curl and uncurl. As mare's and stallion's tee-hee come from the back of the land rover. The driver decides to end his surveillance operation. The mare unleashes a high-pitched neigh and begins to heavily pant. As the sound of the engine disappears, the two Ancient Alicorns pop their heads up to watch the car head back down the road to the city of Ji-Nian Xiong.

"Was it good for you, love?" Celestia asked, teasing as Justice put the palm of his hand on the front of his wife's snout and push her head down. Before he leaped back into the driver seat.

"Ah! I put everything into it, Justice! (Pouty lips) Were you not satisfied with my performance?" Celestia said with a hitch in her's voice as she leaped back into the passenger seat.

"If that was everything you had, Celestia? How in the world did we have three foals of our own?" Justice said, teasing as Celestia hiss at him for wondering how they had foals.

"But anyway, why do you think that car was following us, Justice?" Celestia inquiry stuffing her socks into her removed boots and opting to remain barefooted for her husband. He enjoys looking at her white with a hint of pink Alicorn size feet.

"My guess Celestia, because of what you translated from the tablet the other day," Justice explains, kissing his wife on her lips to thank her for remaining barefooted.

"You mean 'to the west is where kings and heroes sleep.' I cross-reference the words were kings and heroes sleep against the other translated tablets I have done. But came up with zip." Celestia explains, crossing her leg over the other and taps it soundless in the air.

"Understandable Celestia, what if you replace one word in the inscription," Justice suggests as Celestia brings her legs up (crosses her ankles) and rests her white with a hint of pink bare smooth round heels on the dashboard in front of her.

"What word, my love?" Celestia asked as she scrunches her shapely, not too long toes that are the perfect length for her unassuming Alicorn size feet to entertain her husband.

"Replace the word sleep with rest, and what do you get?" Justice suggests as Celestia thought for a few minutes and continued to scrunch and unscrunches her toes entertaining her husband.

"The inscription will now read 'to the west is where kings and heroes rest' (Celestia's eyebrows shoot up in surprise). You mean tombs! Now it makes sense a tablet I translated some time ago. Spoke about the hills to the west of the city being called White tiger hills. It went on to say that it guarded by an entity called the Celestial White Tiger. The rest of the tablet was too deteriorated to be translated. So what if the Celestial White Tiger is guarding tombs." Celestia said her voice wooden and distant that Justice quickly pick-up on being bound to her.

"What is wrong, my love?" Justice asked, concerned, reaching his hand over and caressing her cheek with his fingers.

"What if that Celestial White Tiger is a disguised Imperator Alicorn? I always believed you crashing on the planet of Sol were fate, and my ponies were special, and I was special." Celestia said, dispirited as a tear runs down her cheek, splashing on Justice's fingers.

"What every come from it, Celestia. It doesn't matter. I married an exceptional Alicorn mare. Who is a wonderful wife and a magnificent mother. If it turns out to be disguised, Imperator Alicorn. You are still my exceptional Alicorn Princess." Justice said admiring as Celestia took hold of his hand and kisses it.
