The Creation of Cloud Kingdom
A danger in this land
Ten months pass and construction of the new Kingdom was on its way slowly the castle took shape with of course the help of many ponies. Ponies that were loyal to Noble and Elsie from the beginning and new ponies that left Commander Hurricane. Who no longer see the way of war and fighting against the other tribes who are ponies just like them. Rosalind was growing every day and was enjoying her new family and her aunties
"Isn't she adorable sister?!" ask Luna as she tickled the young filly
"Well of course she is!" said Celestia as she smiled at her sister
"Are you sure?!" ask Noble as he walk in the tent with Elsie and another pony
"Of course I am your highness" said the pony
"Well that's wonderful!" said Elsie
"Go see with there any way to make them apart of your group" requested Noble
"Of course highness" said the pony as he bowed and walk out of the tent
"Highness?!" said Celestia as she look at Noble "Already! The Kingdom isn't even built yet?!"
"We know but they all insisted to call us like that" said Noble as he watches his marefriend pass him to see their daughter
"We're starting to get use to it" said Elsie as she pick up her foal "Maybe you two will be called like that"
"Oh no! I don't know about that!" said Celestia as she and Luna both laugh "So what where you talking about?"
"Some unicorns and earth ponies want to join us but we need to find a way to included them" answered Noble
"It would be wonderful if they could" said Luna "Oh before I forget! Noble when Rosalind was born you shouted 'My wife' does that mean you went to marry?"
"I do remember you says that Noble" said Elsie
"My wife" repeated Noble as he completely forget about the consideration of marriage "With all what happened over the year I never thought about it"
"Would you be happy if I was your wife?!" ask Elsie
"Nothing would make me happier!" said Noble as he embraced his marefriend in his hooves
"Are you going to make it official?" ask Celestia as she stared at them
"Elsie would you make me the greatest pleasure…!" said Noble as they suddenly heard roars of some type of creature "What was that?!" as he ran out of the tent
"NOBLE!" shouted Elsie as she was about to follow him outside
"NO ELSIE STAY HERE!" shouted Noble as he opened his wings
"WHAT IS IT?!" ask Celestia in a panic
"A dragon" replied Noble
"A dragon!" said Luna as she quickly stared at her sister and Elsie "What are you going to do?!"
"I'm going to chase it out of our land!" said Noble as he jump into the air
"Noble don't!" said Elsie "Stay here!"
"Elsie I promise that I'll come back!" said Noble as he smiled at her "I'm not going to let a dragon keep me away from you or Elsie!"
Elsie was force to watch her coltfriend leave for a dragon
"Noble" said Elsie as she stared at the tent door
After 30 minutes of roars, screams of ponies and sounds of the castle falling it was finally quiet. Celestia, Luna and Elsie decided it was safe enough to go out as they exited the tent they saw that half of the castle was in ruins. And many ponies hurt but nothing serious thankfully! Elsie was over joy that Noble was able to chase the dragon away but….
"Where Noble?!" ask Elsie in a worried tone as she held Rosalind closer to her
"I don't know?" said Celestia as she and Luna look around
"Excuse me!" said Luna as she stops a medic pony
"Yes" said the pony
"Where did Noble Laureate go to?" ask Luna
The Medic pony stared at Elsie for a long moment before answering "After that King Noble was able to make the dragon leave. It seems that the dragon was leaving but before it did it took him with its tail. We tried to stop him but too many ponies were hurt, tired and scared to chase after him"
"What…!" said Elsie as she couldn't believe her ears as she felt tears coming
"I'm so sorry highness" said the pony in a guilty tone as he slowly walks away
Elsie gave Rosalind to Celestia before breaking down in tears, Luna and Celestia tried to comfort her but knew that they was no point.
"How….could….he….he….leave!" said Elsie as she managed to talk though her tears
"He did it to protect you" said Luna as she hugs Elsie
"It can't be true! He's not dead! He can't be!" said Elsie as she stared at her shaking hooves
"Elsie" said Celestia
"HE'S NOT DEAD IF HE WAS THE DRAGON WOULD HAVE DONE IT!" shouted Elsie as she wouldn't accept it "I'm going to find him!" as she stood up and open her wings
"No you can't!" shouted Luna as she used her magic to hold her back
"I'M GOING TO FIND HIM AND BRING HIM BACK!" shouted Elsie as she tried to release herself from Luna's magic
"WHAT ABOUT YOUR FOAL!" shouted Celestia "She needs you! So do all these ponies you need you! These ponies who decided to leave EVERYTHING behind for the right thing!"
"I know that! But I don't want to live my life without Noble!" shouted Elsie
"Let her go sister" said Celestia as she put her hoof onto Luna's shoulder
"But sister?!" said Luna in complete shock
"She needs to do this or she won't be able to led everypony to a better future" said Celestia
Luna waited for a moment and thought about it and she deicide to let her go "Alright"
"Thank you Luna, Celestia" said Elsie as she smiled at them "Celestia, Luna can you take care of everypony while I'm gone and Elsie"
"Of course!" said Celestia and Luna
Elsie flew into the sky to find her coltfriend and she would make sure that they would be mare and colt. Elsie managed to find the dragon's cave but it seemed it was too easy to find even for a dragon, she entered the cave calling Noble name.
"Noble! Noble! Are you here?!" ask Elsie as she tried to look around the cave
"ELSIE GET OUT OF HERE!" as she heard Noble shout at her
"WHERE ARE YOU?!" shouted Elsie as she search
"LEAVE!" shouted Noble
"Your here" said a strong and powerful voice
"WHO ARE YOU?!" demanded Elsie as she still couldn't see a thing
"Shi and you're on my land" said Shi as he walk closer
"Why did you take my coltfriend?!" demanded Elsie as she stump her hoof
"To make you all leave!" said Shi "Leave now or…cough! Cough!"
"What the matter?" ask Elsie as she could clearly see that he wasn't well
"Why should I tell you?!" demanded Shi as he glared at her
"I could help you" offered Elsie
"A Pegasus pony is going to help me?! I would believe it if you were a unicorn!" shouted Shi as he cough once more
"Maybe I could!" said Elsie
"I'm dying of some disease and old age! I don't think you could help me in any way!" shouted Shi as he revealed himself to her
Elsie saw that Shi was indeed sick all scales were gray, old and were about to fall out along with his approach she could clearly see that he was near death.
"Maybe I could! I'm having a feeling that maybe I could help you" said Elsie as approach him
"What could a Pegasus do?!" demanded Shi
"Let me try and you'll see!" said Elsie
"Fine!" said Shi as he saw there was no point on refusing her help even if I wouldn't matter
Elsie approach Shi as she did she could feel a strong connection with him for some reason and she could tell that Shi was having the same feeling.
"What's this feeling?" whispered Elsie as she approach him
Elsie could suddenly see that there was a light on Shi chest glowing brighter and brighter
"What's this!" ask Shi as he stared at the light
"What is it?" ask Elsie
"I don't know what it is but you have it too!" said Shi as he pointed with his claw
"What?!" said Elsie as she look at her own chest to see a bright light as well
The light on both Elsie and Shi got brighter when suddenly both of their eyes lit up
"ELSIE!" shouted Noble as he tried to free himself
Noble covered his eyes after a few moments he reopened them and saw that Elsie and Shi were both knock out.
"ELSIE ARE YOU ALRIGHT!" shouted Noble
"Incredible!" as he heard Shi voice
"What happened?!" ask Elsie as she woke up as well "Shi!" as she saw that Shi old and sickly body was now full of colour, young and disease free
"You healed me!" said Shi in a great full tone "How was it possible?!"
"I have no idea?!" answered Elsie
"Whatever it may be I'm in great debt to you" said Shi as he smiled at her
"You don't have to" said Elsie "I just wanted to get Noble back"
"Of course" said Shi as he release Noble who quickly ran towards Elsie and hug her
"That was incredible Elsie!" said Noble as he still couldn't believe what just happened
"Elsie I am forever in your debt until the day I can return it I promise I will protect you and everypony else who follows you" said Shi as he bowed at her
"Are you sure?! You don't need to do this" said Elsie as she glared at Noble
"I am" said Shi as he stared at her with a determine look
"Thank you! Thank you very much!" said Elsie as she returns his smile
"We are great full Shi" said Noble as he smiled along with Elsie "Oh one thing!" as he turned to face her
"Yes" ask Elsie as she could suspect what it could be
"Elsie you have stayed by my side though the time I was with Commander Hurricane, the banishment, searching for a new land and now this! And I haven't been by yours when you were pregnant and there no way I could ever make it up. But what I can do is to promise you that I will no longer leave your side. Elsie will you give me the greatest pleasure on becoming my wife?" ask Noble as he held her hoof and look into her eyes
"Noble of course I will it would make me happier then I am now" said Elsie as she kissed him on the lips
After that Elsie and Noble said the goodbyes to Shi they return to the kingdom and were greeted by everypony. They explain the recent events that happened to them with Shi and the engagement everypony celebrated.
"That's wonderful Elsie and Noble!" said Celestia as she hugs them
"I can't believe it!" said Luna as she also hugs them
"Thank you!" said Noble and Elsie as they smiled at them
"We were worried that something happened to both of you and that Rosalind would have been parentless" said Luna as she glances at her sister
"You would have taken her in right?" ask Noble
"We would have of course but we hope to never do it one day" said Celestia
"Yes what my sister means is that we would of course but it would but terrible if that came to it. It would mean that we would have lost you both and that Rosalind would be growing without you! You would never have to experience to joy to see your foal grow up" continued Luna
"We hope that it will never happen to us or the ponies that will come after us" said Noble
