Chapter 24
Onyx and Blueblood.
Chapter 24
Onyx and Blueblood.
Onyx spent most of the day in his bedroom until it was time for supper; he was still upset. He was sad to have lost Twilight; sure she wasn’t that far from Canterlot, but for him it was as if she was sent to the other side of Equestria. He was angry with himself for losing control; he tried to find Trixie so he could apologize, but couldn’t find her. Onyx asked a few of the guards if they had seen her, but they all said that they last saw her as she left the castle.
When Onyx entered the dining room, he was already in a crappy mood to say the least.
Celestia and Luna were already at the table and were patiently waiting for him. The table was filled many different kinds of food; it had some apple stew, green salads, many jars of cider, wine, bread with butter, olives and a variety cheeses, alfalfa, hay, different kinds of the traditional vegetables; like carrots, lettuce, onions etc. On the left side of the table, Onyx could see meat; some turkey in a brown sauce, red steak and a rabbit stew. At the sight of all this food, Onyx momentary forgot his bad mood; he seated himself at the table on Celestia’s left, who was at the extremity of the table and beside her was the pony that was the ‘talk of the morning.’
Onyx, like always, took a cup of cider, and waited for his mother to give him an explanation for the mare who attacked him this morning and now was at the table with them.
“Mother, could you tell me why we have a stranger at our table?” he asked politely, not wanting to be shot again by the dark mare.
Celestia took a deep breath before she started to explain to him who her sister was.
“Onyx, I would like to present to you my sister, Luna. She’s the one who usually controls the moon... She is back from a long vacation, and, just like you, she came back home.”
Onyx wanted more information about Luna, like where she was before today, why she had attacked him this morning and why, if she is the ruler of the moon, his mother has had to do her job since he was born. But from the look in Celestia’s eyes, it looked like she wanted to say more, but he knew what to do; ‘Don’t ask and eat if you don’t want to get trouble.’ Onyx nodded at his mother’s short explanation and filled his plate with some turkey, bread, and cheese.
Luna looked at him eating meat with a suprised look.
“Thou art eating dead animal?!” She exclaimed, shocked.
“And you, you speak as if you have a cucumber up your-OUCH!” Celestia stomped Onyx’s foot under the table, preventing the insult to her sister.
“I mean... Yes, I eat meat. It’s mainly to stay healthy but this still has a good taste.” Luna tried to ignore the sight of Onyx eating his meat and took some hay with a carrot and a bowl of apple stew, all accompanied by a glass of wine. Onyx looked surprised to see Luna drinking wine, which of course she saw, and felt compelled to comment on.
“What!? Just because we are a mare, we can’t drink wine?” She asked in a harsh tone.
“No, no, forget it.” Onyx answered back, not wanting to continue the conversation. However, Luna didn’t want to stop.
“And why art thou drinking cider? Art thou still a little foal who can’t stand adult drinks?” Celestia tried to pinch her sister with her magic to let her know that she didn’t appreciate how she was acting, but Luna blocked her with a small magical shield.
“For your information, it’s not that I can’t stand beer or cider, but I can’t drink it; unfortunately, ponies add lots of salt to it, and it’s hazardous to my health. AND! This wine is by far much stronger and better tasting, than your pathetic cider.” Celestia really didn’t like where this was going, and she attempted to change the conversation.
“How are you both finding the alfalfa, it’s really fresh tonight.” Both Onyx and Luna looked at her as if she had just said that she was in love with a sheep.
“Mother, you know that I don’t like that stuff.”
“Even if we had been gone all this time, we would have thought that thou wouldst remember that we hate it too.”
All of them continued to eat in silence until Luna rose from her seat and went into the kitchen; when she came back she had with her a bottled breverage, with to Onyx, unknown contents.
“Lulu, please, this is not the time; I’m not in the mood for one of your challenges, especially not this one.” Luna ignored her sister and sat back down at her seat as she served 3 glasses of the bottled liquid.
“Hush sister of ours, we have not played this game in a long time and we want to know if thou and Onyx are strong enough for our challenge.” Onyx who was now curious, put aside his plate and waited to hear what would happen next.
“The rules are simple; we all drink glasses in one shot at the same time, and after each successful round, the glass is re-filled.” Celestia face-hoofed and groaned, she wanted a small supper with her family, not a drinking contest.
“Onyx, please decline. If we both refuse to play, she can’t do it all alone and we’ll eat our dessert in peace.” Unfortunately for her, Onyx wasn’t listening and already had a glass of “Moonshine” in front of him. Celestia got up from her seat and made the bottle of Moonshine and the three glasses disappear.
“Hey! Celly, that’s not fair!”
“Yeah mom, for once this day was going to be fun.”
“Be quiet you two! No drinking contests at this table! Now the two of you will need to start to acting like responsible adults and we will end this night with cake that I had prepared for us and we will enjoy it like a TRUE FAMILY!”
The domestics entered the room to clean the table and prepare it dessert, as with every day, Onyx helped them with their task.
“Why dost thou help them?” asked Luna, who sat there and let the maid clean.
“Why not? Just because we are royalty, doesn’t make us unable to work like everypony else.” he retorted.
The maid came back with the cake and put it on the table, but before she could exit, Celestia asked her something. The smell of chocolate and whipped cream made Onyx want to jump the face first into the cake.
“Mummy, why don’t we eat it immediately?” he asked Celestia, who answered him by pointing towards the front door. Not long after that, the door opened and Blueblood came inside.
“Auntie, I’m here, but why have you summoned me, I was busy with some friends of mine.” Onyx knew that these “friends” in question were probably some rich fancy ponies that Blueblood met somewhere and brought them to the castle to flaunt his wealth. Onyx poured himself another glass of cider now that his cousin was in the same room; he would need it in order to endure his pompous attitude.
“Nephew, if I’ve summoned you it is because I have an important announcement to make. Come, please, take a seat.”
Blueblood sat to Onyx’s left and waited.
“Good, now that you’re both here I can begin. You know that my dear sister, Luna, is back from a long travel today, right?”
Onyx and Blueblood nodded.
“Well, I would some time off alone with her so... I am giving you two the task of running the kingdom during my little vacation.”
Onyx spat a mouthful of cider back into its glass and Blueblood nearly had a heart attack from.
“*Cough* Wait, what? *Sputter* Give us the kingdom!?! B-but I’m not ready, and... and for how long?”
“Don’t worry son, I wouldn’t make this decision if I wasn’t sure you were up to the task. I will only be gone for 3 to 4 days.”
“And how are... Onyx... and I supposed to share the government, my dear auntie?” asked Blueblood.
“Well, one of you wil rule during the day and the other will oversee the night, Luna and I will prepare you for the task ahead before we go. So, who wants the sun and who wants the moon?”
Onyx wanted to take the sun after his mother, but unfortunately for him, Blueblood was faster on the draw.
“I take the sun! Only a fool would take the night shift. The ruler of the sun is by far the more respected and loved between the two rulers and the night is so useless. Nopony can appreciate the job you do if they’re sleeping.”
Luna was on the verge of crying. This morning, when Celestia told her what she wanted to do, she knew that neither of them would want to be the ruler of the night. Even since before her thousand years on the moon, nopony loved her night. Luna felt small tears falling from her eyes; she tried to stop them, but it was all for naught.
Onyx was going to argue with Blueblood, that he was the son of Celestia and therefore should rule during the day, but before he could, he saw Luna’s expression: depressed. It didn’t take long for Onyx to understand why; so he decided to sacrifice his chance in an attempt to cheer her up.
“I will take the night, and do you know why, Blueblood? Ponies sleep during the night because they trust their ruler; they know that we’ll do our best to protect them while they sleep. So yes, I will take the night shift.”
Luna jumped on Onyx and hugged him tightly. Tears were still rolling down her face, but now they were tears of happiness, of pure joy and elation.
“Thank you, thank you! I’ve misjudged you. Thank you! You don’t know how much it means to me to hear that.*sniff* I swear on my sister’s name that I shall no longer bother you, Onyx. Thank you.”
Celestia give a small nod to her son, she understood why he made his decision, and she was proud of him. But what impressed her the most, for the first time since her return, her sister had spoken normally, in the common dialect.
“Good. Now that all that is decided, it is time for the cake!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luna decided to let Onyx keep his room, stating that she would take another one tomorow. Tonight, she was having a good old-fashioned sleepover in her sister’s room.
“So, Lulu... what do you think?” asked Celestia her sister, who was still smilling; grinning like a cat that had eaten an entire mountain of cream.
“He really is a good pony, sister... I understand why you kept him.”

Well.... amazing as always. Felt a bit rushed though. Also, firstfags denied.
blueblood you are a fucking ass.
Yay! Happy and accepting Luna! Way to go Onyx!
felt a little rushed, but YAY FOR ONYX BEFRIENDING LUNA!niht court becoming VERY popular over the day court.
Give me More! And that FAST!
They gave Blueblood power? I hate to say but Tia you had a senior moment right there, and Lulu you are a moonbrain
oh fuck blueblood running the kingdom???!!!!!
they're screwed
..Damn, Onyx is clever. Making blueblood look to be in the worse position. Not that he needed to...Im pretty certain Celestia and Luna will return to Blueblood demolishing the courts entirely, and attempting to demolish ponyville for some reason.
Can't help but feel Luna might not have understood that he chose the night mostly out of empathy...still it was a really nice thing to do!
Onix continues to be awesome, and Blueblood continues to be a duche, no real suprises
Blueblood in charge?
*runs in*
*smacks blueblood's head against a table*
*runs out*
*smacks own head against a wall until unconscious*
Surprise surprise, Blueblood is still a overly large douche.
I have the feeling that you posted this chapter without letting your editor see it first. As there are quite a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes, but also when Blueblood entered you typed that onyx was going to drink some more wine while he was drinking cider moments ago.
awesome chapter! cant wait till the next one
*cocks shotgun, and takes out scattergun and aims them both at blueblood out of pure anger* WHAT DID YOU SAY PUNK!?!?!?!?!?
blueblood.....in power?....... this cannot backfire in anyway
I can't wait to see how they rule.

Well, I'll edit chapter 24 anyways so he can RE-upload it.
2221862 Fun fact: the formatting on Google docs says the whole story is written in French.
Every single word that isn't French has a red underline ~whee!
2235655>>2235731>>2235755>>2235878>>2235950 It's amazing what a few hours of polishing can do...
2236306
you never say me that you will be gone...weill if you say it i did not remember sorry....if i have post the chapter is because i have ask one of my friends and have tell me that everything is perfect and that the chapter 100% without error
Am I the ONLY one who caught that joke in the end?
i1.kym-cdn.com/profiles/icons/big/000/080/099/you_make_luna_happy.jpg
Well this will be interesting...
2236324 Partly my fault. I post it in the comments on ToPO Thursday morning.
>100% error free?
By Luna's beard there are dozens upon dozens.
Luna wants the D...
So how does Onyx take the night shift if he cant do magic, unless Celestia grows Onyx his own horn
And i would rather be the ruler of the night than the day anytime
Say im working on a theory here: what if Discord ( if Onyx ever meets him) tells Onyx what he is and gives him the chance to go back?
Is Blueblood part ass?
I just wanted to point out that in the last couple months your written English has gotten a lot better and that's cool. Also, good chapter, the night truly is a fitting place for Onyx.
I think the jump in Luna's belief of Onyx was slightly rushed. I can understand Luna being emotional and rather straight forward since that is how I write Luna when I do write but it felt that the jump from loathing him more or less to accepting him was rushed.
Also Blueblood is the eternal douchebag. Those are my thoughts on the chapter...come on Luna x Onyx!
Man, that was beautiful, I loved how things end up for Onyx and Luna, Celestia must be feeling like the most proudest of mothers for his son. And go knows, Onyx may like the night ruling.
Hey Onyx, this is your chance, first rule of the night…casual friday, and you can create some new concert or party to Luna, you know, so she can fell better and get some fun at the same time, is a lot more entertaining if you share. Think about it…you can call it…"The Lunar night celebrations concert" Where everypony party in celebration of the security and beauty of the night and the mare who command it.
But Blueblood ruling? May god had mercy upon or souls. I really hoped he don't make something so stupid that could start a riot
Why do I get the feeling that Onyx and Blueblood will do something like this during their rule
2237547 i wonder if Rarity will be more impressioned by Blueblood or Onyx now
hehe
2237607
Oh I really hope that she will be impress with Onyx, especially if he does a great job. Oh and perhaps he could finally meet Vinyl, and she can teach him the meaning of party
2237303 o lawd my side's hurt
2236639 the vitamin D... cause she doesn't get enough sunlight...
2237628
LOL
"Not long after that, the door opened and Blueblood came inside Rainbow Dash."

0-0
2237783
wtf!!!!!!
2237783
fixed
2237591 Shaw what the buck did I just witness??
Awww, i was looking forward to a drinking contest. Oh well, theres time for that when Luna and Celestia get back from their "alone time"
2237999 Image Onyx is the girl, Blueblood is the radioactive giant goldfish, and the Juicy Fruit is the positive attention from the ponies living in Equestria or something like that. Anyway in short Onyx deserve the attention, but Blueblood doesn't want him to have it. Blueblood took attention away from Onyx, then Onyx said "Oh no he didn't!" and jump Blueblood. They fight and I'll leave the imagination to you for their next two or three days of ruling together. And remember sharing is caring.
2236624 Agreed some during 1 paragraph I even headbutted my desk because of the errors.
And someone that says 100% error free isn't reliable. There will always be errors left. Although after editing they will be very tiny.
Blueblood, you piece-a-shit.
I really hope blue-balls gets beaten for that comment of his....
So many fics to still read, onwards!
2236411
i think yes
