Stormcloud sat in the dining hall silently eating his breakfast which considered of nothing but a salad and some bread. It was quiet for the most part as neither his aunt nor mother or Twilight was inside. A faint smile came to his face. So peaceful-

"Stormcloud!" a loud shout came.

"Ugh." the colt grunted before turning around to see Twilight smiling brightly at him. He didn't like this one bit.

He slowly backed away from her only to be grabbed by the mare with surprising strength. In less than a minute she had already thrown him inside a room where at least ten different books stood.

"Uh... what is this?" he asked before he heard the door shut and lock itself. Twilight walked over to him before giving him another giant smile.

"Stormcloud? Can I please study you? I have collected all sorts of books about ancient spells and curses and I must say I have never found your curse or yourself in any of it."

"How about no?" the colt tried to say before all his words got stuck inside his throat. Twilights eyes had widened to the point where he feared they would pop out and were slightly shining. Along with her ears lowering to the point where they were hanging she spoke in a quavering voice.

"But, cousin I would be very upset if you wouldn't let me."

Stormcloud took a deep breath and stared into the slightly tear filled eyes.

'Stay strong. Stay strong!' he shouted inside his head

10 minutes later.

The colt grumbled to himself as Twilight looked all over body after he had transformed into the beast form.

"Now I must study the informations I have gained so if you want anything I will be here BYE!" she shouted as she shoved him outside of the room and slamming the door in front of his eyes.

"Okaay." the colt spoke as he scratched his head. He flinched lightly as one of his claws cut into his forehead. He stared at it before he let out a sigh. Making his way inside the royal garden he took a deep breath of the fresh air. Looking around he could see everything being in perfect balance. The plants, the animals. Everything was in harmony. Taking a peek at the pond bellow him however changed this thought. Everything was at harmony, except for him. He felt chaos inside him.

On one side he wanted nothing more but to be finally at peace. To enjoy the life he had become.

The other wanted him to finally get the respect he deserves. Even if it is through force.

"Come here." he heard a faint voice from his side ripping him out of his thoughs. Looking into the direction of the voice he noticed the statue of a... dragon? It had a dragon head with a hawk body and claw along with a lion paw, a goat and a reptile like leg. The wings confused him too as some appeared to be bat like wings and the others being pegasus like.

"Come closer." the voice called again. The colt blinked at the voice and took a step forward before stopping.

"I am going crazy." he muttered as he shook his head.

"Will you come closer at last you imbecile!" the voice shouted at him.

"Uh..." before he could say anything however the stone suddenly broke apart revealing a living creature looking exactly like the smirked at him before snapping with hawk claw revealing a blue portal of some sort.

"This is going to be hilarious." it muttered before it grabbed Stormcloud and threw him inside it.

"I HATE PORTALS!" he cursed as the scream became more distant before the portal disappeared.

A loud groan escaped the colt as he felt himself getting into consciousness again. He felt like he had been teleported to twenty different places at once. Whoever had done th-...

"That damn dragon... thing!" Stormcloud growled to himself as he remembered that... thing throwing him inside the portal. He tried to get up only to notice a face of a blue alicorn filly only inches away from his face...

"WOAH!" he cried out in surprise, falling out of the bed. After his face was greeted by the 'comfy' stone floor he backed away from the filly.

"What, when, how, where, why?!" he asked as his back hit the wall. The filly got off the bed before she got closer to him. She stopped in front of him and was about to open her mouth but a door soon opened.

"Luna, stop bothering our guest." a soft voice followed. Stormcloud turned towards it to see a mare with a pure golden coat except for some purple parts at the mane, shoes and at the end of the tail.

"But mother..." the filly whined.

"No buts." the mare said again still in the same voice but more commanding this time.

The colts eyes widened as he stared at the filly again. Blue coat... black tiara... Luna... Alicorn... 'Is this how mother looked like in the past?! Am I in the past?!' Before he could give this more thought however he noticed how the mare looked at him.

"So I believe you are well again?" she asked him in the same way like Celestia would.

"I... yes?" he said unsurely.

"M-May I ask where I am?" he added.

"You are in the royal palace. We have... brought you here if we can say so."

"What?" the colt asked making the mare sigh.

"My daughter Luna was training her portal spells and you fell out from one. You looked quite weak. Tell me, from what part of Equestria are you?"

"C-Canterlot."

This made the mare rise her eyebrow. "I don't remember a place called like this."

This destroyed even the slightest bit of hope inside Stormcloud. Off course they wouldn't know. Canterlot was probably not even build yet. He let out a sigh. Now what?

"Wait, if you brought me here you should also be able to send me back, right?" he asked hope filling his eyes again. However this was crushed with a shake of the head from the mare.

"I am sorry but we don't know from where you came from. This... canterlot. It isn't in equestria is it?"

Stormcloud was about to open his mouth but soon closed it. Why should they even believe him? I mean if anypony told him that they come from the future being the son of one of her daughters he would immediately throw him out of the window. So he only shook his head. Letting out a sigh he felt how Luna pressed her hoof on his back.

The mare smiled at this display until the door opened once again. This time it revealed another alicorn but a stallion with dark purple mane and coat. It reminded him partly of older Luna.

He got closer to the colt and looked him over, before he turned towards the mare.

"Hm, I see that he is finally awake? You have caused a lot of trouble you know?"

The colt twitched lightly before looking up to him.

"Cosmos! He is still shaken up, from what I have gathered he has been ripped from his universe if not from a different timeline!" the golden mare beside him shouted.

The stallion shook his head as he looked at the mare.

"Galaxia..."

"No, don't Galaxia me. You will apologize to him now or by faust I will make sure you will regret the next time you get into our bed!" she roared in rage.

This made both the colt and stallion in the room sink in a little.

"I..I..."

"APOLOGIZE!" the mare roared again.

"I am sorry!" he shouted as he was on the ground with his hoofs over his head. The mare took a few deep breaths to calm herself again and looked at the colt. Soon she tilted her head.

"I am sure that you are hungry, let my daughter Luna show you where we dine. Until then, I need to have a talk with my husband." she growled at the last part before she grabbed the stallion and dragged him off.

The colt sat there not knowing what to do.

'Can't a single day of my life be normal?! On the other hoof. How am I normal?' he sighed inwardly.

Luna in the meantime had already grabbed his hoof and was dragging him with her.

"Woah! Where are we going?"

"To play of course!" the filly giggled. Stormcloud blinked as a sigh escaped his lips. This is going to be a long day.

Queen Galaxia and her husband sat at the dining table waiting patiently for their daughter and her... new playmate. The mare tabbed her hoof until the door leading inside the room suddenly opened revealing Luna who was holding the young colt up with her magic. She levitated him into one of the chairs before sitting into one her own. She gave her mother a nervous smile while the mare looked at the colt who had his head resting against the dinner plate.

"Luna..." the mare spoke dangerously.

"I am sorry mother but I had so much fun!" the filly whined.

The mare gave a sigh before she turned towards her husband who stared back at her. Motioning with her eyes towards the colt he took a deep breath before he nodded.

"Well, it doesn't look like our... 'guest' is going to eat anything so I might as well bring him to his room." he said as he used his horn to hold the colt up in the air.

"...Okay goodnight Stormcloud!" Luna waved towards the two as they left the room.

The stallion took a deep breath when he turned towards the colt. Using his magic to give a light shock the smaller pony of the two jumped awake before he was dropped to the floor.

"What was that for?!" he growled towards him. The stallion however didn't listen to him and kept walking forward. The colt rose his eyebrow but followed the stallion none the less. A pregnant silence followed. Upon passing some guards the older stallion finally spoke up.

"I am sorry." he said quietly.

"Huh?" the colt asked breaking out of his trance.

"I said I am sorry. It's just... days like this aren't easy."

The colt blinked before responding.
"Its alright, to be honest I was quite surprised that you would even accept me. I wouldn't trust everything that popped out of a portal."

The older stallion snorted.

"Yes but... lets say my wife has a nice way to... convince someone." he muttered.

"She sure got a temper." the colt spoke earning a laugh from the stallion.

"She sure does. Now, there is also another reason why I brought you with me. I want to introduce you to my second daughter."

"Celestia?" the colt asked before he froze. The stallion rose his eyebrow.

"How do you?..." he started but soon was interrupted as a voice came from upstairs. The two stopped near a staircase which lead up to what the colt assumed was Celestias room.

"Father?" a young voice asked from upstairs.

A moment later a filly walked down with a white coat and pink mane. The only thing which were the same like her older form were her purple eyes. She carried a golden tiara on top of her head just like Luna did along with a pink dress matching her mane. Almost immediately as soon as she spotted Stormcloud she straightened her head holding it high. Closing her eyes she stepped down with pride.

"Greetings, I have heard ab...-WOAH!" she cried out as she rolled down stairs after tripping on her giant dress. It took the colt a moment to notice that she was going to straight towards him. A moment later she slammed into him. Letting out a off he landed on his back with Celestia on top of him. The filly was a little dazed until she noticed that she was on top of him. Blushing furiously she literally jumped off him.

"S-Sorry!" she practically shouted at him. The only response she got was a groan. He rubbed the back of his head and looked at the father of her who facehoofed.

"Charming." was his only response, embarrassing her further.

It had been a few hours since the... incident. Stormcloud waited in front of the room of Celestia as she had to get lost of her dress. He sighed. She had been in there for a hour. Looking over at Luna who stared at him with a smile he couldn't help but wonder.

"Luna?" he asked.

"Hm?" she answered.

"You grew kind of excited about my appearance."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I don't expect it from a princess to lay in the same bed as me, drag me around to play until I was completely on the ground and then try to introduce me to her sister."

Luna looked to the side for a moment before she gave him a half hearty smile.

"It's just... sister is always training to become queen one day. I am lucky that I am only second born, which means I wouldn't have to rule."

This made him blink. "You don't want to rule?"

The filly giggled before she shook her head.

"No I want to enjoy live. I want to spend as much time with my friends before... before they wither away." she whispered the last part. The colt opened his mouth before he closed it soon. He couldn't tell her. Hell he didn't know if he was immortal in here. He didn't know how long he would stay in this world. Come to think of it. He would have to test if he would still have his strength and... this curse. That was when he saw a tear going down the fillies cheek. Sighing to himself, he put an arm around her neck. A small smile appeared on her face as she buried her face into his neck.

'Woah.'

"I... I just want my sister to be happy." she whispered again.

Sighing to himself he rubbed her forehead until she suddenly broke the hug. She wiped away the tears and gave him a small yet noticeable smile.

"Sister is ready."

He rose his eyebrow until he heard the door open. Looking to his right he saw Celestia this time without any dress. As soon as she saw Stormcloud beside her sister she blushed lightly from the reminder of the incident but shook it off.

"Hey Celestia, can we play a little? Please?" Luna asked. The elder sister thought for a moment before she spoke.

"How about hide and seek?" the soon to be celestial princess asked.

"Stormcloud is searching!" Luna shouted before running away.

Both the colt and Celestia stared Luna who had already ran past a corner down the hall. For a few moments nothing happened before Stormcloud spoke up.

"She sure got a lot of energy." he muttered.

"She sure has." the celestial princess agreed.

Stormcloud took a second to look at her before asking

"Shouldn't you be hiding right now?"

Celestia looked at him for a moment and shook her head.

"No, I just wanted to talk to you alone I had to get Luna away somehow."

This made him rise his eyebrow.
"How did yo-"

"Hide and Seek is Lunas favourite game. It was obvious she would immediately want to play it. Just pretend that you have found me."

She said as both began to walk towards the dining area.

"Look, about what happened before. I am sorry."

He took a deep breath and gave her a smile.

"It's alright, though it was... quite the sight for your father."

"Don't remind me." she groaned. "He gave me a few hours worth of lecture, thinking that was interoperate behavior."

"Well, you did throw yourself at me." the colt smirked. This made the celestial princess stop. She stared at him with pure fury.

"Do you even have any idea how hard it is to walk around with a dress all the time?! I should have you executed immediately!" she roared at him making him lower himself. As soon as those words left her mouth she took a deep breath before speaking again.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have shouted at you like that."

"Pri...-" he started.

"Don't even think about ending that word. Call me Celestia. Just like you do with my sister."

He just realized in that moment that he had forgotten to adress Luna with her title. On the other hoof she didn't seem to mind. Seeing the thoughtfull expression of his she spoke again.

"Look, I don't know where you come from and though it really interests me, I don't want to bring up some memories. Just know that you are welcome to walk around with me and my sister."

The colt sighed as he nodded. It was when he saw a blue flank sticking out of the dining table. He looked over at Celestia who facehoofed.

"Luna, I told you several times, it is easy to see you there." the filly complained. The smaller sister crawled out showing her tongue to her sister.

This made him raise his eyebrow. For a princess she sure wasn't best mannered.

A few hours later the sun had gone down leaving everything in darkness. The serves and maids walked home, the changing of the guards happened and Luna was drenching Stormclouds neck with saliva... yeah. Not the thing he would want. He sighed to himself until he saw Celestia motioning him to follow him. He pushed himself under the filly as he pushed upwards leaving Luna on his back. Both made their way towards the solar sisters room, Celestia held the door open for Stormcloud to go through. He looked around. The room was quite big with yellow being almost everywhere. The covers, the blankets. Everything.

Sighing he placed her into her bed and stepped aside as Celestia laid beside her. The elder sister hugged the younger who snuggled closer to her. He smiled at this display reminding him of him and his mother. A sting of pain went through his heart. His smile remained though it was filled with pain. He was about to walk away when he felt something hold his hoof. Looking down he saw Luna with half closed eyes holding it.

"Be...Bedtime story." she spoke groggily. Looking around in the room he saw a shelf full of books giving her a smile he nodded and walked over to it. Picking one out he sat down at the bed. Opening it he looked through until a story caught his eye.

My moonflower (it hurt me inwardly to write this. Too much clichè)

A long time ago, in a land far, far away a small filly ran around in the streets. She met a young colt who she started to play with. They quickly became good friends doing everything together. It was when one day a witch came. She hated the filly, as the mare was old and ugly whilst the filly was young and beautiful. One night she broke into the house and put a spell on the filly. She became terrible ill. Her parents tried everything but nothing seemed to help. The only hope for them was the moonflower a blue plant which shimmers even in the slightest moonlight. It would cure any illness, any curse. This plant however, would only grow in the everfree forest. It was far to dangerous to try to collect it so they could only watch their child wither away. Her friend however, wasn't ready to leave his friend to die. He ran away from his home despite his families disagreement towards the everfree forest. 3 days and nights passed as he finally reached it. He escaped the many dangers inside and found it. The moonflower. The witch however, wasn't too fond of him trying to cure the ill and tried to kill him only to be touched by the plant. This made her burn to ashes.

Running back the young colt quickly gave the plant to his friend and she became healthy again. Both fell in love with each other and soon both married.

And if they didn't die, they still live today. (I don't know if they use this phrase in a fairy tail in english but its roughly like this in german)

"The end." the colt said looking at the sleeping faces of Luna and Celestia. Smiling to himself he got up and put the book back in his shelf. Walking out of the room he looked at the two one last time and shut the door. That was when he saw queen Galaxia in front of him. She had a big smile on her face. He was about to say something when she shook her head.

"Don't speak, you must be extremely tired after an eventful day like this. I'll show you where you sleep."

Both walked through the halls until Galaxia stopped in front of a door and opened it. Stormcloud who was far too tired to do anything else, he just crashed on the bed not even bothering to cover himself.

A light shove woke the colt from his dreamless sleep. He groaned and rolled to his side revealing Celestia. She gave him a smile before she tilted her head.

"You're awake?"

"Now I am." he grunted.

Celestias giggling filled the air before she calmed herself by placing her hoof in front of her mouth. It was when he noticed how she had a dress on. A smirk instantly formed on his lips.

"Wonders me how you didn't slam into someone again." She rose her eyebrow for a moment until she noticed what he meant. She gritted her teeth before she let out a smirk of her own. She got closer to his ear and whispered

"You would want me to slam into you again don't you." this snapped the eyes of the colt open and he jumped off the bed in an instant leaving Celestia to roll around while laughing. He blushed heavily as she calmed down.

"Not funny." he said still flustered making her giggle even more before she pulled him in a hug making both of them widen their eyes.

"I-Um-When-We... we should go now." Celestia stuttered.

"Y-Yeah, we should... Hold on where?" but it was too late. She had already grabbed his hoof and ran outside with him. Both made their way towards the dining hall where Luna, and Galaxia had been waiting dressed the same like Celestia.

"Ah I see, you are finally here." Galaxia smiled warmly at him.

"Uh, what is this about?" the queen was about to speak when he heard somepony behind him. Turning around he saw Cosmos carrying some sort of silver armor which was exactly the same like the royal armor of the guards back in canterlot. He also had another set of it which was roughly the size of Stormcloud.

"It wasn't easy to get these so I hope you like it." Cosmos said to him a smile on his face as both walked out of the room towards the exit. Stopping in front of it, the king laid down the armor. The colt blinked as he stared at it. He hadn't carried one since... his banishment. He extended his hoof towards it as he received a flash of memories going through his head of the many battles he had went through. This made his hoof stop for a moment but he took it none the less along with the other armor parts. King Cosmos looked surprised as he didn't expect the colt to know how to put armor on. When Stormcloud was finally ready he jumped a few times to test it and looked up at Cosmos who had a proud smile plastered on his face.

"Hm, perhaps we could have us for you as a guard if you stay here." the colt looked at his dagger who was still on his leg. Before he could give it much thought however he felt a hoof on his back. Looking up at the king who opened the door it revealed hundreds of soldiers already waiting for them. Both made their way outside towards Celestia, Luna and Galaxia who were already waiting. Galaxias face lightened up as soon as she saw the young colt.

"What a handsome young colt." she said smiling at him which made him fluster a little. It was when his eyes crossed the ones of Celestia. Both stared at each other without saying a single word. Luna in the meantime looked in between the two having a knowing smile on her face. Both broke out of their trance however, as Cosmos rose his hoof making the soldiers cheer.

Stormcloud sighed to himself, letting himself be taken away by thought. This would be a long day... he had no idea.

Apparently it was a troop inspection as the royal family did nothing but march through the endless lines of soldiers. As they finally returned Stormcloud planned on slamming straight on the bed again this changed however as Celestia still wanted to talk to him. Making his way towards her he knocked at the door only for it to open. Looking around inside he noticed how Celestia was at the balcony looking up at the night sky with a golden cub filled with liquid. Walking over to her she broke out of her gaze as she caught sight of him.

"You wanted to talk to me?" he asked.

Celestia turned towards him for a moment and looked up at the sky again.

"Stormcloud?" she asked.

"Hm?"

"If... if you could go back to your world... will you leave us?" she asked, surprising him. He sighed leaning against the rail on the balcony.

"I am afraid so, I need to go home to my family." Celestia lowered her gaze which surprised him as he saw taints of sadness inside them.

"Celestia?" he asked cautiously.

"Why?" she asked almost hurt.

"I..."

"Why don't you want to stay here? We could take you in. You could become a royal guard perhaps become part of the family you could..." she suddenly stopped.

He sighed.

"No Celestia, you don't understand. I have to go back. I got no choice."

"Everyone has a choice in their life!" she shouted at him making him jump.

"Cele..."

"No you listen to me right now. We could give you the life as one of the royal family. We could give you money, power... everything your heart carves for." she whispered the last part.

"I can't... this... I am not supposed to be here."

Celestia growled.

"FINE THEN! LEAVE ME AL-" she suddenly stopped.

"Celestia?" he asked.

"Celestia?" he started to grow more worried as she didn't answer.

"Celestia?!" it was when she dropped down on the ground.

"CELESTIA!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. The cup with the liquid fell on the ground spraying the liquid everywhere. He quickly took it and immediately remembered the smell.

"Poison..." he whispered. Suddenly he heard a gasp.

Turning to his side he saw Galaxia.

"CELESTIA! GUARDS!" she shouted before running over to him. She also took in the smell.

"D-Did you poison her?"

"What? No I wo-" he tried to defend himself.

"You... you... I have trusted you." the queen sounded hurt almost broken.

"No, queen Galaxia listen to me...-"

"I won't!" she shouted and as soon as the guards came inside she growled to herself. "You will pay for this." she pressed the filly against her chest.

The guards stepped closer.

"No, I didn't do anything! Please you have to believe me!"

"Leave us you monster!"

"No..." he whispered stepping backwards until his back hit the end of the balcony. Looking down he stared at Celestia one last time.

"I promise you... I will help her." he said before flying off with the guards hunting him.

"Halt!" one shouted as hundreds of pegasi flew after him. He tried to flee over the city walls which proved to be a mistake as a crossbow hit him straight in the wings. Crying out in pain he couldn't fly anymore and slammed against the ground landing outside of the walls. He quickly got up and evaded several crossbows being shot at him and escaped. As he was finally out of reach he took his time to regain his breath. What now?

"I don't even know what poison it is!" he shouted in rage and slammed his hoof against the ground. This wasn't fair.

"I have to find a cure none the less. But how am I suppose to know which on... the moonflower!" he exclaimed. This could save Celestia! There was only a slight problem. He didn't know if it even existed. None the less he had to try. Taking one last glance at the castle he rushed off in the night. He wasn't stopping to eat, he wasn't stopping to drink, he wasn't stopping to sleep. Only one goal was inside his head... To cure Celestia.

As he finally arrived at the everfree forest he found himself in one of the worst labyrinths he had ever known. None the less he rushed through searching for the closest reminder of a flower.

"A plant in blue...Shimmer in the slightest moonlight" he said to himself. He looked around for a few more hours until he sat down. He had searched every single part of the forest. There was no flower here. It was probably just a tale. A small text to let foals believe that there are always happy ends. He shook his head at his own foolishness. He actually had hope. A tear came down his cheek.

"I am sorry Celestia, I am sorry Luna, I am sorry Galaxia... I am sorry Cosmos." he lowered his head. That was when he heard a rustle behind him.

"Co...smos?" it was female though it sounded extremely old. Turning around he saw a timberwolf. He was about to get ready to defend himself when he noticed that it wasn't going to attack.

It stepped closer.

"Cos...mos?" it asked again.

The colt blinked as he realized that indeed the timberwolf had spoken. He lowered his gaze.

"Yes... King Cosmos."

The timberwolf seemed to step back for a moment before it tilted its head.

"I am just... searching something." he whispered. The timerwolf didn't move at all.

"For a moonflower."

This caught the timberwolves attention as it stepped closer to him.

"I... I need it to help... a friend. The daughter of King Cosmon... Celestia." he whispered. It was when he felt a paw on his chin which tilted his head upwards.

"Me... owe... Cosmos." it spoke.

The colt blinked.

"He... saved... soul... before... evil... taken... moonflower... cured... my... curse... saving... me... turning... soul... into... timberwolf."

The colt blinked. 'Hold on is it saying that...'

"I... am... witch..."

The colts eyes opened. This timberwolf was the witch... So the story was true. The young colt was Cosmos... the filly was Galaxies... this was the story how they fell in love.

"I..." it started catching his attention again.

"Can... turn... into... moonflower."

The colt blinked.

"But wouldn't that kill you?"

The timberwolf showed what seemed to be a smile as it shook its head.

"I... give... soul... stone... you... keep... Make... her... eat... plant... "

She wanted to trap herself in a stone... so he keeps her? He was about to open his mouth when a bright white light illuminated the sky. Under him was a light blue flower along with a green stone on a necklace. He put the later on and quickly picked up the flower.

"Thank you." he whispered before running towards the royal castle again.

As soon as he ran through the gates he stopped at nothing. Not at the guards trying to hold him... not at Galaxia staring at the flower in his mouth with wide eyes... not when the door to her room was locked. He punched through destroying it. It fell out of the hinges and slammed against the ground revealing Celestia in her bed. Stopping for a moment he walked closer to it until he was at the edge of the bed.

"Celestia..." he whispered. He quickly made a small ball like herb and put it down her throat. Almost immediately a blue light illuminated from her body making him step back. As the guards stepped inside along with Queen Galaxia and King Kosmos all could only stare shocked at the sight. Slowly Celestias eyes opened revealing her pink eyes. Stormcloud smiled at her before he stepped to the side leaving some room for Galaxia and Kosmos. Both immediately ran to their daughter hugging her to the point where she didn't get any air. A second later Luna sped past him and jumped into the hug. He sighed at the display before he felt a touch on his shoulder.

"Huh?" he turned around to see the guards getting ready to bounce at him. Before they could however a loud shout made them stop right where they are.

"If any of you touches my son in law you will lose all your limps!" shouted Queen Galaxia.

Stormcloud relaxed slightly.

"HOLD ON SON IN L AW?!" he shouted before he slammed against the ground falling unconscious.
