The Friendship Express was on it's way to ponyville as quickly as it could. The Emperor, his brother, the Imperial Legion soldiers, and the liberated slaves were on board, and Tiber Septim, and Agnorith Septim, and even the soldiers were talking to Flawless Glow about the situation unfolding and how it all started.
"So, what's this all about Jewelius?" Tiber asked.
"We'll," She said. "He calls himself Holy King Jewelius I." She went on to explain how and why he was doing that to the 11 exiles. "During one of his travels, He received word from Canterlot that Cadance and Shining Armor had finally scheduled the day of their wedding," She explained "Before that, He had secretly read about the changelings and their horrible tricks. He had also secretly uncovered the existence of the abandoned mining caverns beneath the castle. When He heard about the wedding, He knew that it was time for a little trip to the Badlands where the Changeling Kingdom lay. Once there, He had the tremendous honor of meeting their queen. At first, she tried to drain him of his love, but for some reason she was unable to do so. Then He told her about the event happening in Canterlot and offered his services."
"He told them about the wedding?!" Tiber, Agnorith, and the soldiers couldn't believe what they were hearing as Flawless Glow went on about Jewelius.
"Yes," Flawless replied. "However, some word of an imminent danger reached Canterlot and the entire kingdom was put on lockdown. And then he showed her the secret caverns under the castle after they got through the shield and into the castle."
They were all surprised to hear Jewelius's plans as Flawless Glow continued on. "He found Twilight Sparkle much younger and potentially more powerful to use instead. At first, when he noticed how suspicious of the 'bride' she'd become, he was afraid she'd expose her and mess up everything. But they were all so eager to have the wedding, they were willing to dismiss her warnings and turn their backs on her just like that. Even with nopony believing her suspicions, being the magical prodigy she is, she was still a threat to his plans. Luckily, she wasn't suspicious of him. So after spending some time with the young unicorn, he hatched a new plan. he decided to break his alliance with the changelings and help Twilight defeat them and save the day. Then he pinned the blame for this mess on all of them, get the rulers dethroned, and establish himself as King of all Equestia!"
"How was he able to fool Twilight when Chrysalis wasn't?" Agnorith asked.
"He did the one thing none of them did." Flawless replied. "He listened to her and gave her the benefit of the doubt. He was there for her. But after they all broke her heart and abandoned her at the wedding rehearsal, she became a lot easier to manipulate. And now, he has her completely under his control."
What about Cadance?" One soldier asked.
"He put Cadance, on a hospital bed, and strapped her and a group of doctors involved in his plot painfully electrocuted her with some sort of lightning generating machine, which was connected to her horn by a jumper cable." She said.
The Imperial Legion were extremely horrified to hear this. Especially Agnorith Septim and Tiber Septim. No one could speak.
"He has organized a wedding eventually. It took awhile, but Twilight, has agreed to become his queen!" The soldiers all gasped in horror at this news. "And he has forbid them from being bridesmaids. He is going to produce a so called offspring that will continue his glorious legacy. And right after he banished them, he purged the royal guards that were injured in the battle with the changelings and were still loyal to the princess!"
They were horrified and outraged about this. Some bad memories came back to them. Zurin Arctus's betrayal toward Tiber Septim back a few years earlier flashed before their eyes. To Tiber and Agnorith, It seemed a nightmare. Then they saw the sun rising and they were amazed to see how fast it can go.
"As you can see," Flawless Glow said. "Celestia is rising the sun, and she is about to hanged."
"Are we getting close to Ponyville?" Agnorith asked.
"Yes." She said.
They were getting close to Ponyville. What they didn't know is that Canterlot is about to be attacked by the Changelings once again, and the outcasts are about to break free.
