Hey guys got the next chapter here for you. Thanks for your guys and girls continued support. Now on with the story!
Greed V
As Celestia glared at us I returned it in spades. Me and my followers were training in the everfree when we heard Envy's roar which brought us here.
Wolf was just as much a son to Envy as he was to me. Hell I was the one who helped make his sword! So seeing him laying in a pool of his own blood and a guard holding a bloody sword. Yeah his ass was grass. The other's were just collateral damage.
"Why have you killed my guards," asked Celestia with barely restrained rage.
Envy was about to answer but I beat him to it. "Because one of your guards nearly killed my nephew in cold blood you solar cunt! Its not our fault your guards like to follow the biggest idiot like a bunch of retards!"
Yeah she didn't like that if her now on fire mane and glowing white eyes were anything to go by.
But before things could escelate to the point I would have to most likely kill the Princess a huge flash drew our attention.
When the flash died down it revealed Wrath along with Luna, Cadence, Chrysalis, and my Lady of Sin.
Chrysalis rushed over to Envy and Wolf where she started to fuss over them, Luna tried to calm her sister down while Wrath admired the bloodbath around us, Cadence looked impassive, and My lady lokked PISSED!
I knew I was in deep shit when she walked up to me. I couldnt look her in the eyes when she walked up to stand in front of me.
"Talon," oh shit she used the real name, " mind telling me what happened here."
After that I sang like a canary and told her what I knew so far. She was not pleased to put it lightly.
"Well though I do think you were justified I will still need to punish you for killing so many innocent guards."
Looking over I see Celestia with a smug grin on her muzzle. Oh it is on now bitch just you wait.
"So as your punishment you are now to assist Cadence with a few errands I need her to complete."
"So I'm basically her bitch now?"
"Precisely."
Looking at Cadence I see an evil glint in her eye and I knew this was gonna suck.

"CADENCE YOU CRAZY BITCH!"
That was said right after I had just ripped my way out of yet another hydra's stomach. So far being Cadence's bitch has been a living hell.
In my time as Cadence's 'assistant', code name for personal bitch, I have killed twenty manticores, ripped apart three hydra's, and have killed two elder dragons. In short I was VERY tired and very angry.
She just snort's and say's uncaringly, "just do what your told drake. Now come on we have more to do."
Alright that teared it. I had wanted her to become my ladies assistant to help her cope with Prides deceit and manipulation but it seems she has just become a hateful bitch and I need to stop this right now before it gets any worse.
Walking up behind her I roughly wrap one of my claws around her throat and pin her to one of the nearby trees. As she struggled she tried to throw insults my way bit it failed due to me almost strangeling her.
"Stop it Cadence."
My voice was soft with a commanding tone under it. Surprisingly Cadence obeyed. We stared at each-other for a while storm grey meeting purple before I started to speak to her again in the same kind voice.
"I know what its like. To be used for your whole life and made to feel important only for it to all to be an act. For it all just to be a sick twisted illusion for others gain. Don't let what Pride did ruin who you were like it ruined me."
I had since let her go as she listened with interest but also worry which was a good start. "How did your experience ruin you Greed?"
Laughing humourlessly I answer, "bleieve it or not I used to be pretty weak and very squeemish about hurting others. Now I am arguably the deadliest killer in the world that's how it ruined me. Thats why I need you to let it all go before you loose who you are."
She got angry now and flew up into my face where she started to slap me with tears spilling from her eyes. Her hits didn't hurt so I just stood there as she let it all out.
"HOW CAN I LET IT GO? HE USED ME LIKE SOME CHEAP WHORSE AND YOU WANT ME TO LET IT GO JUST LIKE THAT! WELL FUCK YOU AND TO HELL WITH SHINING! DAMN IT ALL I DONT CARE ANYMORE!"
As she ranted her hits grew weaker until the point they just laid on my chest. Knowing right now she needed comfort I pull her into a hug as she cried her heart out.
Eventually she stopped and just cried into my chest. I gently let her down once she had gotten some control of herself.
Looking into my eyes she asked me the one question I never wanted to answer so long as I lived, "who hurt you Greed?"
I was tempted now to just leave instead of having to answer that dreaded question. I hadn't even told Envy or Spike and they are the closest family I have! But no matter how much remembering my past hurt if I wanted to help the distraught mare I needed to let her know that someone else knew her pain.
Taking a seat I motion her to do the same. When we were both comfortable I began.
"There is something you don't know about me and Spike. Not even Celestia knows this but... Spike and I aren't just royal dragons as a species but we are actual royalty."
She gasped in surprise but motioned me to continue with renewed interest.
"I was first born and named the heir to the throne. Couple years later I had another brother named Slate. Now we were exact opposite's. I was weak and humble while he was strong and prideful. When it was just me I was treated so well and loved so much by my parents that I thought they really loved me. But when they saw how much stronger my younger brother was I was cast aside in favor of him. I became an outcast and started to hate nobility more and more for their deceiving ways."
As I talked my claws clenched so much blood was seeping from my hands but I didn't care cause the emotional pain was much worse.
"Then Spike was born. He may have been an egg but I had already felt protective over him. I didn't want him to suffer the same fate I had so on my twelve birthday I stole Spikes egg and made my way to Equestria. The rest you should already know."
She seemed horrified at my little revelation. I felt something travelling down my face and when I reached up to wipe it away I found out I was crying.
"Huh. I haven't cried since Spike's egg was stolen. How pathetic that I cry now just talking about something as worthless as this."
That was received with another slap to the face courtesy of an angry Love Princess.
"Don't you dare say what you said was worthless! It is not pathetic to feel pain from something so horrible happening to you. I thought my situation was bad but that was beyond cruel. And by your parents no less!"
Rubbing where she had hit me I say, "yeah last time I checked the old drakes retired and Slate was named King. Now I could go back and challenge him for the crown as is my right. Hell so could Spike, but I figure what's the point. I know next to nothing about ruling a kingdom. I'm more of a fighter than a damn politician. Though Spike does seem to fit the bill since he is more intellectually strong than physically as I have noticed."
"You know you should really tell the others about this. They have a right to know."
I thought on this for a minute. She could be right I mean if I told it to someone I barely even know then how hard could it be telling it to my new family. Pinkie, Vinyl, and Spike definitely deserve to know.
Nodding to Cadence we get up and start to make our way back to Ponyville. I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off of me. Maybe I should pay a visit to my dear old brother. I think Spike would absolutely LOVE to meet his biological parents and his asshole older brother.
Alright first I am NOT making Cadence a Greed lover. Unless that's what you guys want and you say so it will not be happening. Second thanks again for your continued support. Review and/or pm me. Until then, Nicranger out.
