Kane got close to Trax's face, anger burning in his eyes. "You knew didn't you?! You knew about me having a brother! You knew he tried to kill my parents and Celestia and you knew he would return one day didn't you!! DIDNT YOU?!" Kane had never been so angry before, and nopony had seen him act this way since he became king."

An acolyte led Snow inside the Elemental castle to where Arial was. "Arial!" She squealed happily as she ran and hugged her, careful of both of their pregnant bellies.

Kane looked between Twilight and Stryker. "What is going on? Who are you talking about?!" he said in a raised voice. Twilight looked at her son with sadness. "Kane....the pony who did this....was your brother." Kane froze and stared at his mother. "What brother?!" Twilight dipped her head in shame. "I'm sorry that we never told you..."

((Flashback))

Two Nightwatch guards dragged a black stallion with a crimson mane and tail before Soul, who stood before the throne. Princess Celestia was too injured from the attack to be there, and Twilight, the stallions own mother, was too emotional and was crying profusely off to the side, her belly showing that another colt was soon on their way. The stallion glared at Soul, and Soul glared back at his son with angry and fury in his eyes. "Silent Night...you have committed crimes against Canterlot worthy of death. It is by the mercy of Princess Celestia that you will still be given your life." He spoke with anger, although pain could also be detected in his voice, for he was condemning his own son. "For this high crimes, you are to be stripped of your rank in the Nightwatch, and banished from Equestria forever, until the day you die." Several Nightwatch officers came towards Silent, ripping his medals and regailia from his chest, along with any other sign of membership of military rank. To finish off the decomissioning, his sword, a gift from his father, was removed from it's sheathe and tossed to the side. Soul looked down at Silent, his gaze like the gates of hell themselves. "You disappoint me, Silent. You are dead to me. I have no son." he said coldly. As the guards began to escort him from the castle, he stopped at the door and turned around. "One day I will return, and I'll bring the hordes of hell with me. And when that day comes, you better pray that you won't be alive....father."

((End Flashback))

Kane gritted his teeth as Twilight finished her story. He grabbed a claice from a nearby table and threw it across the room in anger. He turned and began to leave the room. "Where are you going Kane?!" Twilight asked in tears. He didn't answer until he was back in the main hallway. "Where's Trax?!?" he shouted.

Snow and Ledus had finally reached the Elemental Castle. Ledus gently let Snow down and she began to looked around for Arial, unable to contain her excitement, for she hadn't seen Arial in months.

Kane immediately opened his wings and drew his sword, storming down the castle hallways and bursting through the door. The assassin had just dodged the magical blasts and kicked Azure away before hitting Dawn with the hilt of his dagger. Kane burst through the doors and glared at the assassin. The assassin hesitated for a moment seeing him but charged at him anyway. With a shout Kane drove his blade through the assassin before pushing him off with his foot. As he fell dead a small tablet with the image of a moon with a dagger on it fell to the ground. Twilight saw it and immediately started to weep. "No....not him." Kane went to her side. "Who, mother? Who sent this assassin?" Twilight looked at her son with pain in her eyes. "Kane...there is something we never told you...and it's time you knew..."

((Ok, well scratch that part, Snow can come visit Arial.))

Snow sat on the back of Ledus, flying high towards the Elemental Castle. She could barely contain her excitement and was as giddy as a schoolfilly about seeing what she always saw as her big sister.

Kane was relieved that he finally caught a break from the nobles and their complaining, but he looked at the image of the pony leading the attack. He was surprised at how similar he looked to himself, but couldn't figure out who he was. "I don't recognize him, but we must eliminate him. I'm told that it is not another rebellion, nor is it black magic and undead soldiers. It's a true army of enemy ponies from another land. Although this leader looks Equestrian alright."

A hooded figure subtly entered into the chamber of Princess Twilight, who was sadly sitting at her desk looking into her reflection in the mirror. It was the anniversary of Soul's death, and she swore she saw a younger version of herself with Soul in the mirror. Before she could thing any longer, the assassin grabbed Twilight's throat. She shouted in fear that could be heard throughout the castle.

In the months following the dragon's attack on Canterlot, Prince Hurricane Lightning, the greatest ruler of Equestria since the princesses, had begun the process of rebuilding the damaged kingdom. Kane had held Equestria together so many times before, he had actually gotten use to managing a kingdom on the edge. However, although he led the kingdom with as much honor and integrity as he once had, Kane was living in darkness upon his throne. His beloved wife Autumn Rain, the powerful new alicorn princess of Equestria, was gravely injured in the attack, and is now unable to bear children of her own. To make matters worse, his adopted son Storm Flare was one of the many who sacrificed their lives to repel the dragons from Canterlot for good.

Storm's girlfriend Snow has progressed with her pregnancy well and was in good health. She often visited with Arial, the only other to survive the dragon attack, as the two mares helped each other along with their pregnancies.

Kane was sitting on his throne, his head on a hoof, listening to nobles argue and his secretaries speak with each of them, trying to keep some order. He had just learned moments ago that northern Equestria was experiencing random attacks in certain areas. Kane sighed and facehoofed, wishing somebody could somehow come and get these ponies out of his throne room.

At the train station, Snow was pratically shaking with excitement, as Arial was coming to Canterlot to visit her. She was pretty far along in pregnancy, but it didn't stop her from acting like a filly.

*You can read people's minds, but everybody's thoughts are highly disturbing*

I wish for the world's largest box of Goldfish.

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!?!?!

EDIT: Dreamy totally intercepted my comment.

I DEMAND YOUR FRIENDSHIP

OBJECTION!

I don't know about worst pony, but I will say this. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about Starswirl. Seriously, I keep hearing "oh Starswirl did this! Starswirl did that!" like he's the only historical thing worth talking about. If he is going to keep being brought up can we at least get a flashback or something so we can at least know what he looks like?

My favorite subgenres are melodic death metal and groove metal, but I listen to most any subgenre. My favorite bands include In Flames, Pantera, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Machine Head, DevilDriver, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquility, At The Gates, Gojira, Trivium just to name a few.

So, as you can probably tell by my name, I listen to metal. Some of my favorite bands include In Flames, Pantera, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Machine Head, DevilDriver, Dark Tranquility, Amon Amarth, Gojira, but that just scratches the surface.

I was wondering if anypony else here was a metalhead. If so, what bands do you listen to?

This day is going to be perfect.........

Seriously, this song is amazing. This is one of the reason why I fanboy so hard over Princess Cadence.

Sorry, Rarity fans. Art of the Dress got old real quick. It's overrated.

I almost forgot, I will give an arm and a leg for Cadence to have a baby. Seriously. I will cry if this happens.

Rise's ears perked up. "Did you say.....you know Twilight? As in Twilight Sparkle? The Princess' personal student? Wow, I had no idea that she lives here."

What would be the perfect episode of MLP to you?

For me, I would completely and utterly fangirl scream if they made a princess only episode. I'm talking no other mane 6, no Spike, absolutely nopony else. Just Tia, Lulu, Cadie and Twi.

(Sorry for the delay, been super busy with college and work)

"I can't say I've ever seen butterfly wings on a pony. They must not be very reliable if they melt off just like that. Anyway, I guess your a pretty good flyer then if you could pull all that off"

If a new race or species were to be added to FiM, what would you want to see and why? Also, how would you want to see them interact with the Mane 6 and other characters?

I would love to see a deer/moose species introduced to the show. I feel like they would be a good edition to the show and that another equine race could bring up another situation like Bridle Gossip. I picture them as having a druidic society focused on nature, which would also make a good episode regarding respect for the environment (not trying to sound like a hippie, lol). It would be interesting to see our favorite mares discovering a new species and learning about a new culture, giving us some more world-building.

"Oh, it's you! Yeah, I know who you are. I'm actually from Cloudsdale, and I watched the Best Young Flyer's Competition. I didn't think you'd pull it off at first, you looked pretty nervous. I'm glad you won instead of that one unicorn with butterfly wings"

He eyed the rainbow-maned pegasus. He could have been a splat on the ground right now if he didn't regain control. "Nah, you didn't hurt me. I'm alright" he said. "Wow, you're a pretty fast flyer."

Rise could barely make out the words that a sudden rainbow blur said. The force of the speeding blur knocked him off course, and he lost control of his wings. He began to fall towards the ground, his saddlebags now off of his back falling with him. Luckily they were tightly closed, but still out of his reach. After he came around, he expanded his wings and began to regain control. Now able to fly, he rushed over to his saddlebags and flew under them, catching them in mid air. He panted heavily and he hovered in mid air. "What the hay was that?!?" he said, looking for the rainbow blur.

(Sorry, had a busy day)

Rise walked outside and picked up his saddlebags. He looked off in the distance towards where his cloud home would be. Taking a deep breath, he open his wings and flew into the sky. His heavy saddlebags caused him some stress, but he had developed muscles that were unusual for a pegasus and was able to carry the load. He flew until he could hardly see Ponyville. He saw several other cloud homes, including a rather large one that sported some rainbow waterfalls. Rise continued to be impressed by how beautiful and fascinationg the small town was.

Rise signed all the places where he was required to sign. It took him a good while, for the stack was quite large. Holding a pen in his mouth for that long was quite uncomfortable. When he finally finished, he set the pen down and gave everything back to the Mayor. "Thank you for your help. I need go move in now. Have a nicy day!" he said as he began to leave town hall.

"Oh great, paperwork." he thought to himself. "Ok, so.....where do I sign?"

"Pinkie Pie, huh? Fitting name I guess." he thought to himself. This was definitley something he kept thinking about. He had never met a pony like that. So happy and full of energy. Nobody was like that in Cloudsdale.
