Hearing the offer did Umbra shake her head at it, if she ever became so weak that she needed the help from guards like that to stay unharmed did she not deserve to be protected, or so were her logic. "No there are no need for any guards, I can take care of myself and they do surely have many other and better things to do than follow me around. The shadows should be gone now, and with them the only foe around that I know that would wish to hurt me, your people need their, and yours, time and attention more than me." Her waving over her shoulder as she went, really not feeling up to behave properly by this point, and beside did the princess owe her one now, so there were really no need to act as she had done before.

As she got to the kitchen did she flop down in the first and best empty chair, her tired body not being noticed as there were so many things to do and mouths to feed, Umbra just massaging her temples as one wave after the other of headache rolled over her, the youth drying her nose from running black blood a few times as well. As time went on did she at last sigh, her not getting anything out of just sitting there, so gathering herself did she leave the kitchen, a cup of cocoa in hand that she slowly sipped of as she went for the airship.

Shining nodded, looking back to the frozen wastes. He took a deep breath to calm his anger. "I think that is the right thing to do, yes..." He grunted. "Let's get to the bottom of this, make sure something like this never happens again." He trotted briskly out of the shack, the rest of the soldiers following him back to the Empire.

As they arrived, Cadence was waiting for them in the throne room. Umbra, however, was nowhere to be seen. Cadence grinned as she saw her husband and ran to him, hugged him. "You're back..." she sighed relieved. Shining smiled softly. "I told you I'd always come back for you."

Cadence smiled and let go, looking into Shining's eyes with love. Then she turned to the rest, and only then did she notice the figure in Sugary's arms. She frowned. "I have the feeling we have much to discuss." She turned to Sugary himself and smiled slightly. "If you're wondering where Umbra is... she went ahead to the airship to rest."

Sugary looked between the royal couple and the body he held in his magical grasp. He was happy to have returned with the others in good condition, but Umbra wasn't there. "Hm... I had hoped she'd examine him herself, just in case there was something she could find out about him... But it looks like you know who this is, Princess?" He smiled a bit at the corner of his lips afterwards. "I'm glad to hear Miss Umbra is doing fine at least. I'll keep cooperating as needed of course."

With heavy steps, her pulling her feet over the ground, did Umbra slowly find her way to the airship, her having contemplated if she just should release one of the seals and just teleport herself onto the ship, but while it would be nice to just get into bed would it be too great of a waste of power, or that did her practical part of herself bring up each time she wanted to do it.

Umbra was lucky that the airship were easy to find else would she have used even longer to get back onto it, her getting up to the deck by the help of a magic rope that she pulled out of her robe, one end tying itself around her waist while the other around something on the ship before pulling her up. It was only with the help of her golem that she got to her room instead of just laying down to rest as soon as she opened the door to the inside of the ship, it almost pulling her to show how well it had cleaned up, it especially proud over the order it had made with all the books it had found, that they technically wasn't Umbras but Sugary's were just a smaller detail.

With a heavy sigh pulled Umbra the blanket up to her ears, her not even getting undressed before she fell asleep.

Cadence closed her eyes and nodded, seemingly disturbed at the sight of the limp unicorn stallion. "Thank you..." She cleared her throat and smiled again, albeit a bit fake. Shining sighed and walked up to her, taking her hoof. Even though he didn't quite get what was going on, he was not going to let his wife be sad.


Cadence smiled, taking her hustband’s hand, and looked to Sugary. "Right this way..." They walked to the same magical chamber Umbra and she had destroyed the book in. As the door closed, however, she didn't put up the magical barriers like before - just the silencing spell. Now, only Shining, Cadence, the stallion and two of the guards that went with Shining were present.


Cadence sighed. There was a table in the room this time, that wasn’t there before. She motioned for Sugary to put the unconscious stallion on it. “His name is Crystal Dawn,” Cadence said, not taking her eyes off of him, trying to make sure there is no movement. Her expression was grim. “He used to be a stallion with a good reputation as scientist. He was always studying crystals and its magical properties. How do they work the way they do? Apparently he was about to make a breakthough… until he disappeared.”


Shining frowned, listening. Cadence finally looked up. “He must have found the book in the Hidden Archives, since it had valuable information about crystals… but the dark magic still in the book must have taken over. He was no fool, however, which must have been the reason why the being in the book was already so weak… both of them seemed to be in pain.”


Shining piped up. “If he is so smart, why is he so disoriented now? Why does he have these ‘delusions of grandeur’? I am your greatest nightmare, pfeh…”


Cadence shook her head. “That must have been the effect of the book on him. I hope that, when all the effect wears off, he will return to us. His studies truly were valuable to the empire.”


Shining straightened. “But he attacked the Empire! He needs to pay for his crimes!” Not just anger, but also worry shone in his eyes. “He could have hurt you, and the Empire!”


Cadence just smiled. “I know. But he is not that same pony. The one who threatened to hurt us, was the being in the book, not him. He is just a puppet, and the strings still need to fade away. A magical-sterile surrounding will help, any more exposure to dark magic will plunge him into the same state, and light magic will only hurt him.”


Shining slumped. “Then what do we do? Just let him walk freely?”


Cadence shook her head. “No. We keep an eye on him, of course…”


As she said that, Crystal’s eyes opened and he screamed an unearthy scream, tendrils of black magic shooting up from his limbs. Cadence was barely able to jump away before they hit her, Shining took out his sword. Crystal - or rather, his body - sat up, his eyes completely smoking black.


Cadence’s eyes widened, she gulped. “Perhaps… this room wasn’t as magically sterile as I thought…”

Sugary did as told, and listened for the most part, keeping an eye on the stallion still while listening to the Royal couple with poignant ears. He felt Shining was right to be angry, but an innocent life should not be wasted if it could be saved still, and was actually willing to stop Shining himself if he tried something drastic.

Of course, he'd do something drastic himself as he once more lit up his horn, and quickly went in for a hard grip around Crystal's torso with his arms; He followed up with making both a shield around them to prevent the tentacles from escaping, as well as making his body glow with the same Light magic as before. "I've had enough of you! Become purified, monster!" He then attempted to cycle the light energy around them both within the shield, fully intent on slaying the parasite for good.

In her bed on the ship did Umbra sleep soundly, the young mare not at all snoring under her blanket.

The thing screamed, but the barrier made him unable to attack the others. Instead, it wrapped its tendrils around Sugary, fighting back as hard as it could. It tried to fight the light magic with its own dark curses, trying to kill the light.

Shining immediately came into action and lit up his horn to give the monster as much light magic as he could to fight it, trying not to harm the body. Cadence simply stared, feeling guilty, but watching Shining fight like that - she lit her horn as well and set out to help her husband. She stood next to him, her eyes trained at the monster in Crystal's body.

Under the barrage of light magic, the monster screamed and slowly withered away, trying to get out of the barrier. The weaker it got, the more panicky he acted and attacked the closest being with full force - in this case, it was Sugary.

Sugary was very much appreciative of the aid he was getting from the others, but as far as being attacked went, he was taking it rather calmly; Grinning even, as he kept his end of Mana ongoing against the assault. "... You're stubborn, I'll give you that, but a little mare has more sting to her magic than you do!" He was talking about Umbra in particular. "She's a spry, young, dangerous little thing, and you're just a weak struggling shade. She gave me more trouble just being my guest! Now hold still! You're embarrassing yourself!" Again his magic flared, light surrounding his body searing the attacker as he held fast. It was a crude method of purification, but as long as he held onto the possessed stallion, the shade had little else to go but to oblivion.

In her comfortable bed did a certain blue striped unicorn mare bobble and snore with much joy, her smiling and blushing at what she was dreaming at, her arm grasping out, catching her golem that yelped an "eep!" with a mouth it did not have as she took it to her chest and snuggled close. The little golem getting even more confused than it just were as she suddenly came with a humfph and threw it at the wall, it splatting out against it as Umbra turned over onto her other side, her tail moving unruly under the blanket to show her annoyment.

The being screeched - thrashing around, trying to resist Sugary's magic - but there was no way it could escape. Little by little it dwindled and eventually disappeared, leaving the body of Crystal free of its grasp. Once it was gone, completely gone, Cadence stopped, panting. "I... I think we did it..."

She stepped forward, little by little. "You can let go now..." she said softly, not taking her eyes off Crystal's body, ready if there were any traces of the shadow left. Shining did as she said, but regardless whether Sugary let go or not, she stepped forward and scanned the body for anything left.

"...None," she said, with a smile. "Nothing of the dark magic is left..." Then, her smile faltered. "Yet, so is all the light..." She thought for a bit. "I think the darkness has replaced it all... I'm not sure if he even has magic left, let alone be able to use it."

Shining huffed. "I think that is a good punishment for what he's done..."

Cadence siged. "He only made one mistake - "

"One that endangered you and the Empire." Shining interrupted sternly. "If he wakes up as himself, as much as I'd like to put my own punishment upon him, the court should decide what his punishment will be."

"And what if he doesn't wake up?" Cadence murmured, watching the limp body of Crystal. "or what if he does wake up, but nothing is there? What if he'll just be a breathing body?"

Shining hummed. "I don't know." His gaze softened. "We can hardly judge and punish a soulless husk..."

Sugary let out a labored huff, and helped lay down Crystal's body once more with care. He then got around to taking some deep quiet breaths as he began to cleanse himself of the Dark lashings he took. He could take it, but it had been no less unpleasant to deal with.

In the interim, he heard the conversation of course, and had something of his own to add as he spoke softly. "... Sorry, but I know very little about restoring a broken soul. All I can say is hope that there's still enough of him left to come back... What you do from there is up to you... And sorry, this might not be the best time, but may I be dismissed? I'd very much like to see how Umbra and the airship are doing."

Shining sighed, glancing at Crystal's body, then looked back to Market, listening to what he had to say. In the end, he nodded. "Alright..." He then gave a small, exhausted smile. "You are free to go. Thank you for all of your help."

Shining looked at his wife, who nodded, and in turn, she removed the spells on the chamber. The door opened, and Sugary was free to go. Two guards were waiting for him to escort him out of the castle.

Sugary bowed gratefully, but left with a neutral expression as he left the royal couple alone with their former companion to deal with as he went out with the guards...

Along the way, he looked to the condition of he castle town, content that things were probably done for the time being, yet couldn't help but feel it might come under trouble in the farther future again. He hoped those here would be ready by then.

Eventually, he'd bid farewell to the guards and enter his own airship, curious to see how it all went ever since they left. He looked to and fro and saw a lot was rather clean... and eventually realized his room was too clean. "... Umbraaa!! Where are my books!?" He didn't actually know she was napping as he called out to her, he just began to look around frantically for his stuff before knocking on her door somewhat gently. "... Umbra?"

With a half completed snore did Umbra jump awake from her sleep, drool down her chin, her mane a mess, and books that had else been ordered so nicely around her by her golem as a comfortable book fort tumbling all around her. "What? It wasn't me, I did nothing to the cocoa..." said she half awake, her looking around to see what there had waked her. "Ohh you are back Sugary, I guess that things went well and we free to do as we want now?"

Sugary blinked while staring at the door and then knocked lightly again to keep talking. "... Yes, they let me go again. Maybe for good this time if anything, though it looks like they're gonna have their hands full with security from now on... And Umbra? Please, let me in. I've been meaning to talk to you... Also, I can't find any of my books! Did your other golem take them!?"

Books? Now that he mentioned had there been something about books, Umbra looking down at her to see dozen strewn around her, the young looking mare having to blink a few times as her eyes landed on the open pages of one of the book. The book being one of a kind that she never had seen or heard of before, a sketch of some dragony creature with a lot of frilly clothes that didn't really did anything for decency being on one of the pages, the creature having her hand on a rather unpractically thick spear, "Polish my spear," and "But it is so huge it could take me all night," being the only two sentences that she could make out before her cheeks began to blush like wildfire, her franticly hiding the book under her pillow before she came with a shuttering "Come in, I am decent."

As Sugary opened the door and allowed more light to come in could Umbra really see what a mess the golem had made out of cleaning up, her sighing with a shaking head, her not at all doing that to cool her cheeks, cheeks that she quickly hid in her hands, elbows on her knees as she looked over at Sugary, hoping that he hadn't seen her blush like that. "Sorry, the poor small things are not the best at understanding orders sadly. I guess that it isn't used to the ideas of books that ain't mine..." her blush seeming to glow up once more as one of her eyes skidded to the pillow behind her, making sure that nothing could be seen of the book.

Sugary moved in and sighed deeply at the collection of books, both in relief that his belongings were found and that he now once again had a lot to reorganize. Of course, knowing the nature of some of the books, he got around to quickly getting as many as he could within his grasp and magic, unaware Umbra kept one hidden away so far. "Well... I can let it slide, the rest of the ship does look very tidy. I was just worried someone stole these. I mean, I don't carry any forbidden tomes mind you, but some contain many advanced spells regardless. If a foal tried them, they could really hurt someone even without meaning to... That, and I keep notes from time to time, as well as some story books I just can't find anywhere else. Priceless, you know?" He played off casually as to the true nature of some of his own books, but then he was the owner and quite used to them by now.

While looking at Umbra herself at one point during the gathering, he cocked his brow at her. "... Say, uh... Are you feeling okay again? I heard you were helping out Cadence personally. You don't have a... fever, do you? Your cheeks look a bit flushed."

She nodded quickly, way too quickly and energetic, trying even better to hide her warm cheeks in her icy cold palms. "Fever? Sugary I am dead, I can't get sick..." Said she with a voice that spoke loudly over how silly she thought the idea of her being sick was, but then again being this near to the crystal heart had maybe changed her so she had caught something, a book did normally not make her react like that... But the whole book thing was something that could be studied later... and alone. "I am just... tired from doing all of the magic that I did. Fighting off whatever there were in the book were not easy you know." Her hoping that the lie and the new topic could change the subject of the conversation.

Sugary had a mixed look of concern and understanding on his face as Umbra excused her chances of getting ill over her... not-quite-alive status that he still didn't know all the details about. He nodded slowly and backed out of the room with almost all the books save for a few short tales and tomes. Innocent tales and tomes, of course, that Umbra might appreciate looking over later. "... Alright. I guess you must still be tired then. I woke you up, didn't I? Then... I'll just leave you be and we can talk more later. I'll be nearby if you need something." He nodded again, and left the room and closed the door, leaving Umbra alone with her minions, her thoughts, and the naughty little book she hid under the pillow.

Meanwhile, as Sugary got to re-organizing, he looked to the hand where Umbra had impaled him and infused with her magic. He considered dispelling it if it was still there, but part of him told him to keep it. "... I really shouldn't just be letting someone intrude like that, but if she still needs the help I suspect she does, I may as well keep it in case I ever need to track her down... I should make sure it's actually safe to keep tough..."

After she had made sure that Sugary had left, her listening at his steps, and then making really sure by sending her golem to peek under the door while she still was sitting on the bed with her cheeks in her hands, her trying to massage them back to her normal colour, first then did she turn around to pull the new book out from its hiding spot.

Before had she just seen a random page, but now did she look closer at the cover, a hand which were all too finely drawn to be that of a maid, or anyone that had done a honest piece of work in their life holding something that Umbra was sure was called a feather duster, her just having read about them in a dictionary and never actually seen one. As she began to turn the pages, her eyes sprinting from word to word as she gobbled up this new kind of literature had she to stop up now and then, her taking a dictionary froth to look up new words, the embers of her glowing cheeks flaming up each and every time she did so, her needing to take many a long break before she were done with the book, the moon having set and the sun since risen when she laid the book down.

Sugary had come to a decision by the end of the day regarding their last deal as he looked to his hand before going to sleep, intent on taking one peculiar risk down the line with Umbra as he could swear he heard a voice on the back of his head telling him to do so quite convincingly... Or maybe he was just imagining it to help him convince himself...

By the next day, he woke up feeling even better still and refreshed; And by the time Umbra were to wake up, she'd already smell the scent of a warm potato, cauliflower, and beets breakfast being prepared to take on the day along with jovial humming.

While she wasn't tired from the lack of sleep, her only really needing it as a way to recharge her magical batteries and not to sort the thoughts in her heard as so many others wasted so much on their time on, did Umbra still yawn as she sat herself down at the kitchen table. She sat there for a while, trying to sort the many new pictures and concepts and words there were floating around in her head after having completed Suggary's book, her fingers tip tapping over the table, making a spoon move back and forth between her hands until she opened her mouth at last. "Suggary... may I ask you a question, I know it sound odd but it is a question that I can't get out of my mind and I hope that you can help me with it."

Since she knew that Sugary was just as curious as she was and that he surely would try to answer, so when he turned to her did she ask her question. "Why would someone hire a maid only to disturb her only time she were working never letting her do her job?"

As Umbra expected, this did interest Sugary as she spoke since she did not ask much of him to begin with. He then went from a simple smile to a thoughtful hum as he paced a bit in the kitchen. "... Oddly specific question. Hm... That sounds like someone may be out to annoy said maid." He began, not quite having figured out yet where this was likely going. "Or perhaps their boss is testing them in some odd way..." He hummed a lot more again as he thought more deeply. "There might just also b-..." He paused, and began to recall what books he had and had not actually managed to put away the night before.

His gaze slowly met Umbra's, a very light blush on the corner of his cheeks as he asked her in return. "Um... What sort of demands was said maid being interrupted with...?"

While she had of habit to look at those that she spoke with, reading their face, their body to get more out of them than what they said with their words alone were Umbras eyes as glued to the spoon that she still tip tapped and puffed over the table, her having hoped that an attempt at seeming casual would have made the questionable subject easier for both of them to handle. "A lot off odd tasks really, making bread which is clearly the job of a cook, and something that no ordinary household of minor size does as it takes quite an oven and quite a large quantity of wood to make proper bread, something that I had to read up about in three books to make sure of. Then were there spear polishing as well, although I am rather sure that it was an allegory for something else, as she was said to clean the mess of her work up with her mouth, and oils used for wood treatment and steel care is not healthy or well tasting. There were also a lot of other smaller things thou, like how the master of the house once awoke the maid and commented that the best uniform that she could bear were none which I couldn't understand, I mean uniforms are an important status symbol and reminder as ones place in the hierarchy of all things... Why would he then let her walk around and clean his place in her normal clothes?"
