Onyx slowly stood up from the scheme that he finished cleaning up and looked at the repaired heart and tower because it was slightly damaged from the blast of Harmonic magic. He slowly stretched his body before he felt eyes on his back and looked backward and saw a couple of Crystal Ponies watching him intently. However, before he could do anything, he heard footsteps coming down the stairs and looked over and watched Candance appear. He spoke up in greeting her. "Hello, Candance, I have finished repairing everything and removing the things that I had added to the tower to make it work the way we needed it to."
Candance slowly nodded her head while looking over the fixed tower along with the Runic Scheme that allowed her new tower to function. She slowly hummed while looking Onyx over because Shining has not yet made it back to her tower from his report to Celestia. She spoke slowly, explaining the situation to Onyx. "You will have to wait for Shining to get back, in all honesty, because there is only that one train line."
Onyx nodded while following Candance back inside and could not help but wonder where he would be staying in the tower because there is not much furniture yet in the tower. He knew of a couple of rooms after all he had stayed in one, but for some reason, Candance is leading him somewhere. Candance showed him a newly furnished room. Onyx spoke in confusion. "Why am I now staying in this room, Candance?"
"This room is closer to the ground floor, so you can leave in the morning at a better time Onyx." Candance replied that she was placing him closer to the entrance so he could get out of here. Onyx blinked and watched her before remembering that Candance was honestly a little ditzy in the show before he could speak, though Candance blinked. She quickly spoke up in worry while waving her hands back and forth. "Not that I want you to leave in a hurry. I just thought you would like to get out of here faster so you could head home to the girls and… and… I am not sounding better the more I explain this."
Onyx slowly snickered at her reaction because, in all honestly, it was kind of amusing the way she was acting, in his opinion. He spoke with a low, teasing voice. "It's alright, Candance. We all know what ditz you can sometimes be."
Candance let out a squawk of annoyance at Onyx's words and slowly moved herself back and forth on her hooves, looking at him. She spoke back, annoyed with his words but not really angry because she knows she can be ditzy. "Well then, I guess I will be seeing you in the morning. Hopefully, Shining Armor is back in time for you to get home tomorrow, Onyx."
Candance let out a humph and walked away while thinking over how nice it was to have company and how much she was going to miss it. Onyx spoke up at her back. "I will try to convince the girls that we should come to visit you and Shining, Candance."
Candance nodded and looked up at the ceiling and realized that there would only be her subjects and husband here when Onyx left. He watched her shake her head before running off down the hall, leaving him alone in his new room apparently.
---Time Skip A Few Days---
Onyx looked at Shining pulling in on the train and looked over at the excited Candace because she genuinely missed her husband. He slowly hummed a small tune because it was honestly pretty boring up here, in his opinion. After all, they were slowly catching up with the tech and the culture, but there were plenty of books for him to read in the library, even though that is not his favorite thing to do. When Shining stepped off the train, the first thing he did was hug Candance. Onyx could not help but shake his head because honestly, those two really need to learn that there was a time and place for these kinds of things.
Onyx slowly picked up his bags and started climbing on the train before he felt someone pull him into a hug. He looked down and saw Candance smiling up at him and let out a low scoff because, honestly, these two are so sappy. Onyx hugged her back and reaffirmed his promise of getting the girls to come and visit them. Candance and Shining slowly waved goodbye to Onyx before looking at each other well Shining was happy to be home. At the same time, Candance was pleased for another reason besides him being home finally.
---Canterlot Castle---
Onyx slowly walked up to another set of stairs, already slightly annoyed with the way this whole day is turning out because he was not being allowed to head directly to ponyville but had to make a report to the princess. When he reached the top of the stairs, he looked at the massive hall that was filled with stained glass paintings and was not surprised to see Celestia standing in front of two new ones. One was the defeat of Sombra by Two Alicorns, one white and one pink. While the other had a black pony slowly growing wings out of his back. Which mostly likely his. "Well, that is a tad more dramatic than what I remember happening, Celestia."
Celestia let out a low snicker and looked over the onyx-colored unicorn and could not help but admit that his divinity was quite strong now that it was completely awake. He had already re-grown a couple of inches that marked him as going to be as tall as she was eventually. Considering she was the tallest Alicorn currently, that was impressive. She let out a low hum and relooked over his Window and could not help but admit it. "It truly is more dramatic than the report, but you cannot help the bards and artisans from the slight rewriting of things."
Onyx slowly nodded his head while looking her up in down in thought because now that he could adequately understand Divine Magic. Celestia was radiating it even more than regular magic, which was strange because none of the other Alicorns did that. He thought about how to ask her about her peculiar signature. After all, it was honestly worrying him because it was almost like Celestia has done nothing but only cast her divine magic even though he knew that was wrong. She spoke through before he could plan out his question. "We have things to discuss and words to be had about your ascension and what happens now because your domain is different than ours."
Onyx nodded and slowly followed her into the office and noticed that there was no one around where they would be having this talk and could not help but wonder why. Celestia sat behind her desk with a low sigh because it was honestly tiring to have to be a ruler, and she was slightly dreading this conversation. She spoke in a slow tone of voice, wanting to get everything across to him. "First order of business is deciding what you are going to be doing with your domain because that is majorly different."
Onyx slowly nodded his head because that was honestly an excellent point before he motioned for her to carry on. She continued almost as if he did not interrupt her. "…second which I think you may be able to answer right of the bat, where are you going to be staying for your Royal Training because you are now a prince Onyx."
Onyx could not help but grimace at that because he honestly just does not want to get this training because he was only a Rune Maker before he became a Rune Lord, now a Rune God. She looked him over and sighed because he really does not want the training that he requires. "… I will just say ponyville. Third what is going to happen to you and your herd."
Onyx snapped his head towards her with question and anger in his eyes. Celestia sighed because this was honestly going to be a slight problem with the way he was acting. She slowly explained the reason for her final third point. "With Alicorns, we have had no idea what would happen. Obviously, an Alicorn couple would most likely give birth to an Alicorn, and Female Unicorns have been known to more often than not to give birth to Unicorns, so we have a guess that female Alicorns would most likely give birth to baby Alicorns. While you mating with your herd will give unpredictable results."
Onyx let out a low grimace because he knew from wiki that Candance ended up giving birth to an Alicorn. Still, he had no idea what the explanation was in the show. He sighed because he honestly can not be mad at her for pointing this out to him. He spoke with melancholy. "What do you want to do, Princess Celestia?"
"Nothing." Celestia answered promptly and snickered when Onyx snapped his head up and looked at her confused. He was wondering what on earth could she mean when she said she would be doing nothing. "Luna and I did not want any kids because we wished to never have to bury them. We will not take the Choice from you and Candance and Shining just because we never wanted to lose our Children."
He sighed because what was he expecting? Honestly, those two were some of the people that kept ancient evil in easily accessible places, according to the wiki dives he did before he had died. He looked up at the ceiling in thought because, honestly, he would not mind his kids. When he looked back at her, he nodded his head slowly. "Well, male ponies have known to only give a third of a chance, and even then, my genes have been altered from Unicorn to Alicorn, so who knows I could still be only giving Unicorn genes."
Celestia nodded because Genes were a newly discovered branch of the science path and has made it really easy to figure things out. She hummed slowly and smiled at her friend, and started talking about less severe stuff with him.
---Time Skip Ponyville---
Onyx slowly watched the parade happen and could not help but admit that it was honestly a good reason for none of the girls being here. Before, he remembered that there was an episode about this in his memories. Still, it was pretty much one of the Crusader's episodes. 'What happened in this episode again.'
As he was standing a bit away looking up in thought, he could not help the surprise when he felt someone wrap their arms around him, hugging his back. He looked down and smiled at the party pony's pink arms around him. She spoke in happiness. "Welcome home, Onyx."
"Yeah, I am home, Pinkie." Onyx spoke back, just as happy as he was to finally be home.
