Equestrian Royalty: The Tales of Shadowmere. Chapter one, return to Equestria.

(Authors note: In a Blaze of Fire may be on hiatus for another month, sorry. But Canadian in Equestria and this one shall remain alive from now on! Thank you all for sticking with me.)

Shadowmere was walking in the lonely desert plain, looking for a new source of water and vegitation, when he felt himself being wraped up by a magical pressure. The presense was comphorting and familiar. He began glowing, and suddenly he was not in the scorching heat, but in an air conditioned room. He blinked and looked around. He turned and was face to face with his aunt.

Celestia smiled. "Shadowmere, welcome."

Shadowmeres eyes widened and he said, "Tia? Why have you brung me here?"

Celestias' smile grew bigger. "You are hereby reinstated in the Equestrian Royal Court, and you are aloud to use your power of the moon. You are also, not exiled anymore."

Shadowmere was shocked, and said nothing.

"Shady?"

Shadowmere turned around and saw his mother standing there, smiling at him. Shadowmere gave her a flying hug. "Mother!" He yelled.

Luna hugged him back and cryed happily. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you to." Shadowmere cryed.

(D'aww..)

Celestia smiled and left them to catch up.

-
Shadowmere was flying towards Ponyville. Luna and Celestia wanted him to go see the Elements of Harmony. He was just over the Wayless Woods when he saw a small campfire glowing in the light night. He flew down to it. He wasn't used to trees though, and cliped his wing on one and tumbled to the ground.

Twilight and her friends jumped up and looked into the dark bushes. "What was that?" She asked.

AppleJack responded with a shaky, "I'm not sure Twi, but it sounded big."

Shadowmere got up and shook herself off. "Ouch.." He mumbled quietly. His flowing mane and tail were full of sticks and peices of bush. He walked towards the camp fire.

"It sounds like it's getting closer!" Rarity said.

Shadowmere poked his head out the bushes.

The six girls screamed. What they saw was a large horned pony head with a purple and black flowing mane. Shadowmeres black fur was roughed up a bit from the crash, and his purple and red irises didn't help much either.

Shadowmere flinched in suprise.

Rainbow and Twilight and AppleJack got ready to fight the intruder.

Shadowmere was not ready to be welcomed in such a manner, and he was frozen in shock.

Twilights horn glowed slightly, giving off a warning she is about to use magical attacks on him. "I don't know who or what you are, but get lost!" She yelled.

Shadowmere whimpered, "But.."

AppleJack kicked a stone which hit him in the eye. "She said GET!"

Shadowmere put a hoof to his eye and felt himself tearing up. When he turned around, the girls noticed he had the same cutey mark as Princess Luna. Shadowmere ran off.

The girls looked to eachother in shock. "Did you see his cutey mark?" Twilight asked. "Do you think..?"

AppleJack shook her head. "No... Nothing ever mentioned Princess Luna sharing the moon with anyone..."

Rainbow said, "But it sure looked the same.."

All six girls looked to eachother. FlutterShy whimpered, "He looked like he was about to cry... What if he didn't want to hurt us?"

They remained silent before Rainbow said, "I'm going to go find him." She ran off into the trees.

"Be careful!" Pinkie cried. Her mane was flat, as was her tail. Did they just attack a friend of Luna?

-
Rainbow could see nothing, but she still walked in the general direction she saw the mysterious stallion run in. Eventually, she came apon a small clearing. In it, was an alicorn. He was also crying.

Shadowmere wasn't one to cry, but he couldn't help himself. That rock hurt! Plus, it was also venting all the shock out of his system. He didn't notice the mare appear behind him.

Rainbow inspected his cutey mark. 'Yeah, that does look like Luna's cutey mark.' She said in her head. She also noticed his mane and tail flowed, like Luna's and Celestia's. She said quietly. "Excuse me?"

Shadowmere froze, before turning his head and looking at the mare. "What do you want? To throw another rock at me?" He said rudely.

Rainbow didn't reply. She went and sat down infront of him. "I'm sorry about that, AppleJack just was trying to protect her friends... You scared us."

Shadowmere blinked away tears.

Rainbow continued after she decided he wasn't going to reply. "What is your name? Mine is Rainbow Dash, but you can call me Dash or Rainbow."

Shadowmere said, "My name is Prince Shadowmere Moon."

Rainbows eyes widened. "P-prince?"

Shadowmere nodded.

Rainbow bowed quickly and said, "I'm so sorry sir, I didn't know I swear."

Shadowmere smiled slightly. "Rise."

She rose.

Shadowmere sighed then sighed. "I know you wouldn't of known of me, I recently got back from exile."

Rainbow decided it wouldn't be smart to ask him why he was exiled. "Mind if I ask why your cutey mark is the same as Princess Luna's?"

Shadowmere said, "Because I am her son."

Rainbow was shocked. Luna had a son? And she had yelled at him to get lost? She felt like beating herself up. She would later. Rainbow said, "It's nice to meet you. Again, I am sorry, so so sorry about how me reacted. I hope your eye is okay."

Shadowmere nodded. "It's fine, I suppose.."

Rainbow said, "I'm sure my friends would love to meet you.. Will you come with me, prince?"

Shadowmere got up and said, "Sure, I guess.. As long as your friend doesn't nail me with another rock."

Rainbow smiled. "I'm sure she wont, and if she does I'll kick her ass for you."

Shadowmere laughed. "Rainbow?" He hugged her. "Thank you for following me."

Rainbow blushed and hugged him back. "No problem, really."

(Again, D'awww..)
