The King of Chaos
Chapter 8:
Yay, zombies…
I charged my horn and prepared to start attacking again when the zombie closest to me raised his rotting foot and said "Stop"
I was surprised at first by the sudden speech of the zombie that I let go of the charge in my horn for a moment.
"Give me one good reason" I said to the zombie in a threatening tone.
"We are not here to attack. We came here because the presence of our leader has returned to this world" the zombie replied.
"And who exactly would your leader be?" I asked.
"From the looks of things, it would be you, sir" the zombie replied.
"Why me?"
"You look exactly as our old master did, and you possess just as much skill, if not more" the zombie replied.
"Who was your previous master?" I asked in a suspicious tone.
"None other than The King of Chaos himself. And if the rumors are true, the new king is standing before me" the zombie replied.
Then, the zombie looked to the sky and shouted, "The King is amongst us once more! Long live the king!"
Almost immediately, all the other zombies looked to the sky as they all went down to their knees and shouted, "Long live the king!"
"Well, I do believe your secret is out" Celestia said as she, Luna, and the main six walked up to me.
"Hardly a setback. It would've gotten out eventually" I replied.
"You were awesome! Still not as cool as me but that made you twenty percent cooler in my books" Rainbow Dash said.
"You fought them zombies like a real, live hero" Applejack said.
"Thanks, but what am I going to do with an armada of zombies?" I asked.
"I have no idea, but they can't follow you wherever you go" Celestia replied.
"Hmmm…alright. How about you zombies go back into the forest and I will summon you when I need you" I said to the zombie horde.
"Right away sir. Your wish is our command" he replied and the zombies turned and made their slow, shuffling walk back to the forest.
I turned back around and received a purple hoof to the face.
"Oww! What was that for?" I asked Twilight.
"I just got to tell you about my feelings for you, and then you through yourself at a zombie horde!" Twilight complained.
"Okay. I won't do it again. Jeez, I'm just the stallion trying to protect you ponies" I said.
"Sorry, I was just so worried about you" Twilight said.
"It's okay Twilight. Just try and hold back on smacking me" I said and the group laughed.
"Well, now that's over, I could go for a nice nap" I said.
"You should try sleeping on a cloud sometime. Its like sleeping on nothing" Rainbow Dash suggested.
"I'll keep that in mind, but I think I'd rather use a bed" I said.
"You can spend the night at my house" Twilight said.
"Sure, as long as snoring Spike isn't in the same room" I said and they all laughed again.
"Make sure you come back to the castle tomorrow. We have something for you to do" Luna said and Celestia nodded in agreement.
"Sure. See you tomorrow, Princesses" I said as I followed Twilight back to the library.
"You know where the guest room is, right?" Twilight asked.
"Yes I do. I'll just go wash up first" I said and I went upstairs to the bathroom.
As soon as I was in the bathroom I locked the door, I took my watch off and cast a transformation spell.
"Any reason in particular you were trying to take my arm off?" I asked Midnight.
"It was an accident. I was having trouble controlling my emotions" she replied.
"Okay. Anything I can do to help?"
"Yes! I mean no…I don't know!" she said while she clutched her head.
"Come on, tell me. I want to help you" I said.
"There is no way to help me. He's dead and it's entirely my fault…" she whispered.
"Who's dead? And why is it your fault?" I asked.
"He was my best and only friend. His name was Goldwing" she started.
"Okay, keep going" I encouraged.
"In time he became my stallion, I loved him and he loved me. But one day, we were running away from somepony that was trying to kill me, but he tried to stop that pony and died trying to protect me" she said.
"I should have stayed behind to help him fight, but now he's dead because of me" she said quietly while a small tear went down her cheek.
I wiped away the cheek with my hoof and said, "If he died trying to protect you, then it's not your fault. The blame belongs to the pony who was trying to kill you. Honor the memory of what a good stallion he was" I said.
"I know, but then you came along, and you remind me so much of him. You're funny, caring, kind, and you don't judge ponies until you've met them for yourself" she said.
"It's just who I am. If you need anything at all, let me know" I said.
"But that's the problem. You're so much like him and I think you'd be perfect for me, but you're with Princess Twilight and I would never come between to ponies" she said.
"Hmmm…am I with Twilight? I know she has feelings for me but it isn't exactly official" I said slowly.
Midnight's eyes lit up with happiness. She looked about ready to jump up and down like a little child.
"Would you? Could you? I don't want to interfere with your business or anything" she said.
"I don't see anything wrong with you and me, I'll just have to reject Twilight…" I started to say but was cut off when Midnight kissed me.
I was even more surprised when I realized I was already kissing her back.
