=Helios 18=

-
>You ran along the East wall.
-
>Not how most spend the morning after they get married, but you were fairly non-traditional.
-
>You and Celestia had stepped out of the catacombs and into your new lives together.
-
>One of secrecy.
-
>None could know of what happened down there.
-
>The only ones who did were those directly involved.
-
>You jumped up some stairs as you ran.
-
>The only outward clue of your change in status was a small sun pendant you now wore around your neck, indistinguishable from the rest of your uniform.
-
>Wedding bands would be a bit obvious.
-
>Celestia had a similar pendant incorporated into her crown jewels, if you played your cards right no one would notice.
-
>Still, there was the problem of your minister talking.
-
>You and Celestia were the only ones who visited Grogar, but you didn't put it past him to find a way of blabbing.
-
>You'd pay him a visit soon to ensure he kept his mouth shut.
-
>The sun rose to meet you as you got back to your room.
-
>It was fast becoming your second favorite sight.
-
>You got a quick shower and started to dress yourself.
-
>It was high time that you went off to see your favorite sight of all.
-
-
>You armored yourself up and went to Celestias room, not even bothering to ask Brawny or Diamond if she was in.
-
>The link had matured over time, you could now feel the distance between the two of you.
-
>This was the second time in two days you caught Celestia coming out of her washroom. She looked out her window. "Is it safe?" She asked.
-
>You peek out the windows and examine the grounds below.
-
>Sighting no one, you turn back.
-
"Looks clear."
-
>Celestia wordlessly half-galloped over to you and wrapped you in her great wings, pulling you close to her and locking your lips.
-
>You ran your hand through your wife's ethereal mane as you kissed her.
-
>You looked down at the single shield attached to the front of her raiment, her symbol of your marriage.
-
>Celestia broke away from her kiss and placed her forehead against yours.
-
>"Having to meet my husband this way the morning after our wedding..." She sighs.
-
"You know why."
-
>"I do. But a wedding night would still have been appreciated."
-
"Come on, you can imagine the scandal if we slipped up just once and someone saw us in here..."
-
>Celestia nuzzles your face. "I could get you out in time..."
-
"We can't risk it. Call it bodyguards intuition."
-
>Celestia grows a mischievous grin. "Perhaps I should change my plans...Stay inside and see what can be done in here today?"
-
>Heh.
-
>You run your hand over her perfect face.
-
"As much as I would enjoy helping you in your..."duties"...we can't let them get suspicious."
-
>Celestia lets out another deep sigh and walks to her beauty desk.
-
>"I'm going to need a vacation soon if this keeps up.
-
-
>You and Celestia were in the magisters tower.
-
>You sat off to the side of the table Celestia was at and mostly just tried to stay out of the way of the acolytes.
-
>They carried potions and arcane devices to and fro, planning to do unknowable things with them.
-
>And it was still miles over your head.
-
>"No no no, we need to move it slower here." Celestia said.
-
>She was standing around a table with the Grand Magister and several others.
-
>Laid before them was the plans for the upcoming solar year.
-
>As the warden of the sun, it was Celestia's duty to plan out the appropriate orbit every year.
-
>The paper on the table in front of her was covered in calculations and astrological markings.
-
>You frankly couldn't make heads or tails of it.
-
>"No. The equinox will have to be on this date."
-
>The Grand Magister sighed. "This would be far easier if Princess Luna were here."
-
>Where the hell WAS Luna?
-
>"My sister needs her rest. We will do her calculations tonight."
-
>Celestia bent over the table and looked closely at the charts.
-
>She released a heavy sigh. "You forgot to take into consideration the passing of Starswirls Comet and its effects on our magic. These calculations will have to be redone."
-
>The collected magi groaned at their oversight.
-
>You however, had something else in mind.
-
"Princess Celestia."
-
>She turns to look at you.
-
"I have to go see..."someone". Can I trust you to stay here?"
-
>Celestia arches an eyebrow. "Who Anonymous?"
-
"A Prisoner."
-
>Celestias eyes widen momentarily as she begins to understand.
-
>"Of course Anonymous."
-
>You nod to your secret wife and make for the door.
-
>"Anon?"
-
>You look back over your shoulder.
-
>"Be careful."
-
-
>You walked into the secret prison alone.
-
A cautionary glance told you that the cage seemed the same.
-
>No point taking chances...
-
>Grogar's eyes snap open as they always did once you got close.
-
>"Ah...Anonymous. Alone are you?" He coos.
-
"Thought I'd stop by."
-
>"I'm flattered. Coming to see me again so soon after out last visit."
-
>You stand and cross your arms.
-
"I'm here for business, not pleasure Grogar."
-
>Grogar slowly shakes his head. "Tsk tsk Anonymous. So dull after your wedding. Attempt to be more like myself, mix the two."
-
>Ignoring the possible come on, you get to the point.
-
"You're the only other thing alive that knows about me and Celestia. That means you're the only one who could blab..."
-
>Grogar has a wide smarmy grin on his face.
-
>You rap your finger on the edge of the glass.
-
"And we can't have that."
-
>Grogar's face contorts.
-
>"Anonymous I'm hurt. I would never "blab" as you put it."
-
>"I have been watching you and Celestia through this city since this little romances inception and I must say you have proven quite entertaining."
-
>Grogar tilts his head up. "And you know I would never destroy something if it was still entertaining."
-
>Hmph...Good.
-
>You stand there, arms crossed as you stare down the Ram.
-
>You're about to speak up but he beats you to it.
-
>"Still Anon, I am sorry."
-
"For what?"
-
>"This."
-
>The glass in front of you begins to glow as bright as the sun.
-
>You're flung back as the wall between you and Grogar explodes.
-
-
>You bounce along the ground a few times before you get yourself into a low crouch.
-
>Your hand shoots to your sword as you prepare to attack.
-
>"Oh let's have none of that." Came a voice from the smoke.
-
>Your body ceases all movement before you get your sword halfway out.
-
>The sound of old muscles springing to use and hooves on stone fill the room.
-
>Grogar steps out of the smoke with a smile on his face.
-
>"Before you attempt to ask and find out that I've paralyzed your vocal chords, there was a hairline fracture in the corner of my cage. I have spent the last thousand years pulling against my chains, making that crack the smallest bit bigger as I did."
-
>His voice sounded senile in the cage, out here it sounded like a coiled viper.
-
>"As the crack grew, I was able to let my magics seep out in small amounts. It was only today that I was able to shatter that infernal crystal."
-
>He bent down an inch away from your face. "How fortunate that my newest friend is here for it...perhaps Celestia had a point about it all?"
-
-
>You struggle against your invisible bonds, trying to use your armors wards against it.
-
>"If you are wondering, I plan to leave. To where I do not know...In fact, it was your ridiculous little romance with little Celly that inspired me to do so. Thank you so very much Anonymous."
-
>If you could spit you would.
-
>"I have removed the wards blocking my magics from being used and before you ask, no, I will not be causing far too much trouble for our dear monarchs. Simply nudging certain aspects of fate along..."
-
>Grogar releases a chuckle as his horns start to glow a hellish purple.
-
>"Goodbye Anonymous. If I see you again I'll drown you in your own blood."
-
>A flash of light later Grogar vanishes from the room and takes his spell with him, leaving you laying on the floor.

"Well...that was a hell of a wedding gift...
