Chapter 25: Blaze's New Job
I woke up to find that I was no longer in the hospital. In fact I had no idea where I was. The room was quite large and elegant. The bed I was in was the size of two king sized beds. The was furniture all over the room. "Where am I?" I asked aloud. "You are in your bed, your highness." A voice said as I quickly looked around for the owner of the voice. To my left was what looked like a guard. "My bed?" I asked. "Yes, you are in your castle." He said. "What is your name?" I asked him. "My name is Rock Smash." He said. I stood up. "I'm going to go explore." I said, growing curious. "All right, would you like a tour?" Rock asked me. I nodded. "Where would you like to see first, your highness? The kitchen, the library, or perhaps your concubines chamber?" He asked. "Concubines chamber?" I asked. "Right this way." He said. leading me to another door in the room.
He opened the door to reveal Lucy and Lana in bikinis. I did get mad when I looked them up and down. On their ankles, were chains connected to the bed. "Rock Smash." I said calmly, my eye visibly twitching. "Yes my prince?" He replied, looking at me. "Why are Lucy and Lana chained to the bed?" I asked. "So that they don't run away." He replied swiftly. "Release them." I said, calmly. "But-" He started to reply. "NOW!" I shouted, my voice echoing around the castle. He ran over and quickly unlocked their chains. "Go get dressed." I said, looking over my shoulder, as they sprinted out of the room.
I left the room and headed down a hallway. I went down some stairs to the first floor. I turned and opened a door on my left. Inside was Twilight's tree. I got wide eyes, wondering how they managed to put a whole tree inside the castle. I entered the tree and was greeted by a small purple dragon. I coughed to get his attention. "Oh, hello there. My name is Spike." He said. "Hello there Spike, is Twilight home by chance?" I asked her. "May I ask who wants to see her?" He said. "Tell her that Blaze is here to see her." I said.
He scrambled up the stairs. I waited for a few seconds before I heard footsteps on the stairs. "Yes Spike. That is Equestria's new prince. The one that beat Blueblood." Twilight said as she reached the bottom of the stairs. As soon as she saw me, she shot down into a kneeling position. She grabbed Spike's head and forced him to kneel as well. I chuckled. "Get up." I said as they stood up. "So, what are your thoughts on this arrangement?" I asked. "I have no problems with my tree being located in your castle. As long as it does not inconvenience you, my liege." She said. "As long as you are fine, with it." I replied. Just as I was about to leave, Spike burped up a golden scroll.
Twilight grabbed the scroll, and began reading it. After a few seconds, her eyes went wide, and her face flushed. "Twilight, what's wrong?" I asked, ready to go on the defensive. "According to this scroll, for reasons previously explained to you, my life now belongs to you." She said, on the verge of tears. "Why are you crying?" I asked her. "Because, for the first time in my life, I don't know how to react." She replied. "Well, all that matters, is that, as long as I own you, you will never be harmed. If you are, there will be hell to pay." I said, before leaving.
I left the castle and went to the edge of the Everfree. I walked up the path to Fluttershy's house. As I opened up the door, I was greeted by Angel again. "Please let Fluttershy know I'm here." I said, a little confused. "Oh, hi my prince." I heard Fluttershy's voice coming from beside me. "Hello Fluttershy, stop kneeling." I said, as she rose. "By now, I assume that you have received a letter from Celestia?" I asked. She nodded and hid behind her mane. "Good, then you and I are on the same terms." I said. "Are you here to have me executed? I'm sorry for doing anything that might of upset you." She said, as I took a step back in shock. She was starting to cry behind her mane.
"No, I'm not. Quite the opposite, actually. I'm here to offer you a job." I said. She stopped crying. "Wh-what kind of job?" She asked. "Well, I figured that since I have a castle, I must have a garden... with animals." I said. She perked up at the mentioning of animals. "Would you like to move in as my live-in caretaker?" I asked. "What about my animals here?" She asked. "I will have your house, and all your animals, relocated into the castle." I replied. "I accept." She replied. "Good, show up tomorrow at eight in the morning." I said, as I turned around and left. "Alright, two down, six to go." I said, heading back into town.
