Chapter 2

Shadow Lust woken up seeing the sun was making it way into the sky as she just sigh and got "Mm shadow goddess I hate early morning" she walked up to the door placing her sword on her armour as she opened the door she saw a unicorn pony wearing golden armour he was light brown body with a light green mane and tail with a lance as his cutie mark "Um can I help you" Shadow Lust said thinking if he was lost.

"No I have orders from the princess to guard you and to keep an eye on you in case you try and kill yourself she said" he said to her saluting to her.

"I see she doesn't want me harmed because I am her new trophy" she said to him walking off in a hurry with him following her.

...

Shadow Lust walked to princess Celestia "I see you already want no harm to your trophy" she said to her angry.

"What no look at you, your the very last of your kind and I want you to live no mater how long you live for I set him to guard you to make sure no one tries to assassin you most ponies here now like us alicorn to be rulers they wouldn't like hearing your kind had ruled them before and they might just keep it that way by killing you" Celestia said shocked to her.

"What my kind own empire would never kill their beloved rulers" she said shocked on not to believe her.

"No it for your safety look I want us to put an end to this old war I want to make peace between our two kind" Celestia said to her.

"You know I could easily take you down with just one swing from my sword what make you think I wouldn't use it" she said holding her sword handle.

"I know you can kill me that why I am not fighting to you for I want to make peace" Celestia said to her not even showing a scared sign.

"Okay maybe one day this war could end on peaceful times and I understand what you are saying" she said letting go of the handle.

"Thank you" Celestia said and about to hug into her but was stopped by her as she remembered "Sorry" she said.

"Well what can I do" she said facing the window of the outside.

"Well I have told Equestria about you but not that your were the very first ruler so how about I show you around Canterlot I am sure it might be different from when your kind once ruled here" Celestia said hoping to stay on good terms with her.

"Mm okay I like to see our old city" as she let Celestia lead the way.

…

After a right good few hours of walking around Canterlot Shadow Lust couldn't believe how much had change only the palace still remained the same as she could remembered it as they where sitting down in the dinning room as Luna was there "So we understand that thou was the first ruler of Equestria" Luna said to her.

"Yes our kind once ruled it with peace and harmony and with fair share" she said thinking back when her kind was always around the place.

"What is this Shadow Path about we heard from our sister" Luna asked her while taking a sip of water.

"The Shadow Path is a road which is build on beliefs and rules along with laws which us Shadow Ponies are expected to follow through our lives that one day when we are killed we would be promised to enter the promise land which was told by our gods we have made many temples in their names such as this one was made to horner the Shadow Goddess she is the giver of our life magic were other gods fill in other roles which impact our lives from when we are born" she said to Luna seeing her amazed by the history there.

"And why does thou wear that armour" Luna asked while eating a salad.

"Our kind never wore these until a point in time when the war began we wore these but during the war our body changed in a way making our lungs weaker so we could not survive the air outside our suits they help us to breath right and they also give us protection from harm such as shields and medical we have different class of armour my one is basic it what privet would wear in military terms it give us a shield and life support and some medial help for little wounds were and elite armour gives you a better shield better life support better medical support and also it help make your body improve in combat such as sharp movements and much bigger jumps along with a water supply" Shadow Lust said as they went back to eating.

…

When Shadow Lust returned to the room she had claimed the guard was standing in the corner of the room "Tell me your name" she asked him.

"I am Lance" he said to her.

"And had your princess told you anything about my or my kind" she asked him will watching the night sky above.

"She only said that your the very last of your kind the Shadow Ponies" he said to her.

"And did you volunteered for this type of job" she asked him while turning to see him.

"Yes I did when I fist taken it I went to my mother and father who have always been there for me they were proud of me to guard you the very last of your kind I am sorry I got off track there" he said looking down on the floor.

"Don't be sorry in our kind we believe in learning about our citizens by talking to them as a normal citizens tell me are you close to your parents" she asked him catching off guard.

"Yes I am they encourage me to join the royal guards" he said thinking back to the day they told him to go for it.

"And tell me how do you feel about this type of job" she asked him sitting down on the floor.

"Well in some way I feel horned but also scared because if I failed then it feels like I fail Equestria and let the royal guard down" he said then faced her "what about your parents" he asked her.

"I never knew them I was abandoned when I was 1 year old but I was taken in by another some one important to us Shadow Ponies she was my new mother she taught me to be strong, how to be brave, how to fight and she taught me everything about our kind and the shadow path I am going for a sleep now good night Lance" she said laying down on the hard floor.

"Good night Shadow Lust" Lance said bowing his head then leaving the room.

Shadow Lust was trying to close her eyes but something was keep popping into her head Celestia she doesn't know why is it the way she truly want to truly protect her because she is the last of her kind but it wasn't that she did thought that Celestia was attractive looking as she sigh "what am I saying I know I have been more into mare this is ridicules" as she laid her head down and tried her best to get some rest in her.
