Dear Faust, WHY?
Slowly I made my way through the castle. Celestia had called me to her chambers. I’m glad she had done away with any of the pretenses. No private meetings were called with me, every meeting was personal. It’s my job to help the princess relieve her tension and stress. And while I won’t say I don’t enjoy this job, it’s awkward. Every time.
I reached her giant double doors, made of beautiful redwood, with a large sun, the likeness of her cutie mark, emblazoned across them. I looked at the guards and gave them a sad, tired smile. They gave me their once over, then nodded. They took their leave, stationing themselves much farther down the hall, knowing my services would render theirs unnecessary. Not to mention very awkward. Awkward. The one word that sums up my job. Awkward.
I slowly pushed open the doors, calmly walking in. Celestia sat on her bed, gazing out her window. I walked up to her, wondering what I would be required to do tonight. I gave a small cough, announcing my presence. Not that I ever needed to, it’s just how I held the job.
She turned, giving me her same warm smile. “Ahh, thank you for coming tonight.”
“Always Tia. I am yours to command, you know this.” I had dropped any pretense of formality with her long ago. I knew more about her than her own student, Twilight Sparkle. I did still respect her though. She ruled over a country, and dealt with all the stress that went along with it. And yet, despite all that, she called upon me so rarely. “What can I do for you this evening?”
“I have important news to discuss concerning your future.” I was taken aback. While spending a night just talking with her was not an uncommon occurrence, it was always about her. She would confide in me when she had no one else to turn to. This was the first time she wanted to talk about me since I took over for my predecessor.
“What is it you wish to speak with me about?” I climbed onto the bed next to her, gazing out the window with her. I noticed she kept the moon unusually low that night.
“My sister will be returning soon.” She stated simply. I stared at her. I didn't know what else to do. Her sister? I thought. I had heard from the one who held this job before me that Celestia had a sister, but never expected to meet her.
“What does this have to do with me? Aside from the obvious extension of my duties to cover her needs as well, I don’t see how this will affect me.” The princess smiled. I was always one to get to the point. But that smile revealed that there was more than just what I was thinking.
“Do you know how to best service my sister?” she asked calmly, turning to smile at me.
That question stunned me. I hadn’t thought about that. I had been serving just Celestia for so long, I never thought about my services being used by another. My face fell. “No, I admit that I don’t. However, I am sure I will be able to quickly pick up what she likes and what she doesn’t.”
“I hope so. I expect you to introduce yourself soon after her return. No matter what the circumstances around her return may be.”
I nodded. It was my royal duty to assist the princesses. If I was to serve Celestia’s sister, I would have to meet her quickly. “I do have a few questions.”
“Go ahead and ask.”
“First, does she know of the existence of my position?” I didn’t want to try and explain my job to an alicorn. Especially one who hasn’t been around in at least hundreds of years, and may be somewhat of a prude.
“Ohh, do not worry. It was her idea to create this position in the first place.”
I sighed my relief. “Well, that eases things. Second, what is her name if you would tell me?” I had learned long ago to avoid sensitive issues with the princess. And from her avoidance of the subject until now, I knew it was a very sensitive one.
“Perhaps when she returns I shall tell you. For now, know she is my sister, and that I miss her.”
“Of course Tia. Now I must ask, is there anything else you wish for me to do tonight?” I was there in her room already. My services were at the ready for her anyways, might as well ask.
“I wish to simply talk with you tonight. I find myself lonely, and in need of a companion. As I sent my student off to Ponyville, I have no one to talk with.”
“I understand Tia. Whatever you wish to talk about, I am all ears.” We spent the rest of the night talking. I watched as the moon stayed in the same place all night, only moving, and very rapidly, to set just before dawn.
The day after was the summer sun celebration. While the sun didn’t rise when it should have, I felt no fear. No matter the challenge, Celestia had always overcome it. When evening finally fell she returned, a light blue alicorn, whom I could only assume to be Celestia’s sister, by her side. I listened in, hoping to learn the name of my newest mistress. I was not disappointed, overhearing Luna, to which the alicorn would always respond. So this was my newest princess. Time to get the formalities out of the way. I had a job to do.
I waited a few days before approaching the newly crowned regent of the night. Knowing she was awake through the night, working, I decided it would be best if I arrived just after dawn. I had promised Celestia I would introduce myself. I sighed. Tonight could very well be my last night on Equestria. While Celestia had promised me Luna would fully understand, I didn’t know why I had to show up so soon. She had returned from the moon barely a week ago. While I was glad she had returned, it makes the job more interesting, my predecessor had failed to prepare me for this. And it only served to make this job even more awkward.
I walked along the corridors, making my way to her chambers. While I had passed the hall many times before, I had no need to venture down. The hall leading to her room was made from a much darker marble. Almost black with blue veins. It was quite beautiful. While Celestia’s doors were a warm redwood, Luna’s were a dark oak. Her cutie mark, a crescent moon, was emblazoned upon them. I gave the guards a weak smile as I approached. I was glad that Luna hadn't had the time to hoofpick her personal guard, the Lunar Guard. It meant that the current guard, while in the Lunar Guard attire, was actually just the Solar Guard.
The guards stared at me for a while. Eventually the one on my right spoke up. “Really? She’s been back for less than a week, and you’re already showing up?” They gave me a tired, bored glare.
I sighed. “Celestia ordered it. Or rather, strongly implied that she would greatly appreciate it if I met with her sister soon after her return.”
“Oh, that kind of order,” responded the other guard. We looked everywhere, except at each other, not sure how to act. While we knew each other, anytime I showed up it was awkward.
“Well sirs, I don’t want to keep her waiting any longer.”
They nodded solemnly. “Well, you’re royally screwed aren't you?”
We all laughed at the small joke. “In more ways than one. Please make sure my tombstone says something pithy on it.”
“Well, we’ll be down there,” the guard gestured down the hall. “Away from you. And her. We want to live.” And with that, they calmly walked down the hall. I sighed again. Time to get this over with.
I knocked on the door, slowly opening it. “Princess Luna?” I called into the room. “I have business to discuss with you.”
I found myself enveloped in a deep blue glow, dragging me into the room. I quickly prepared for the worst. “Who art thou? And what business would require disturbing us as we attempt to sleep?” The Royal Canterlot Voice hurt.
I blinked a few times, regaining my composure. I was hanging upside down in front of a light blue unicorn head. I could only assume the rest of her was under the blankets she had wrapped herself in. I sighed. I seemed to be doing that a lot lately. “Celestia sent me Princess. Given the nature of my position, I believe it best that I meet with you sooner rather than later and that you drop the Royal Canterlot Voice. I don’t think this is a conversation the rest of the castle needs to here.”
Her glow disappeared, leaving me to fall to the ground. Head first. “Ohh, and what pray tell is thine position that gives thou the right to call our sister by her name only?”
I rolled over and sat up, rubbing the back of my head. I smiled, glad she had dropped the Voice. It hurt my ears. I summoned up my courage, and spoke. “I am the royal consort your highness. As I understand it, it was you who established this position.” Luna’s eyes widened. She quickly pulled the curtains, locked the doors, and set spells on each.
“The royal consort still exists?” She asked amazed. “Tia never seemed to like it. I assumed she would have removed the position as soon as I was banished.”
“Well, she didn’t. I have faithfully served for the better part of a century now. However, my predecessor did not inform me as to the best way to service you.” I looked at the floor sheepishly. I didn't want to have to determine all this on my own. Still, royal duty and all that. “As such, I wish to speak with you, so as to better serve you in the future.”
Luna giggled. “Well then. I believe we have much to discuss. Where would you like to start?”
I smiled. Not only was I alive, but Luna was willing to be open with me. “Well Luna,” She shot me a death glare at the mention of her name. I just rolled my eyes. “Considering my position, I gave up with the formalities long ago. They feel very trite.” Luna raised a hoof as if to argue, thought better of it, and nodded. “Well, I will need to know all of your fetishes, your general turn ons, your turn offs. What time of day you prefer to use my services. What kind of play you find most releasing. And most importantly, how willing you are to just talk with me. I find that the most enjoyable part of the job.”
She smiled. “While I must admit, I created your position for your other services, I agree. Sitting down and talking has always been wonderful.” She relaxed back into her bed. “Stand good sir. I wish to know thine name, and I shall need to examine you. Make sure you are fit to service me.” She flashed me an evil grin. I shuddered.
“My name is Deep Thought, Luna. And feel free to examine me all you wish. I shall have to do the same to you at some point.” She gave a small giggle in return. Once again I was surrounded by her deep blue glow, but this time, there was no malice. It was calm and comforting, like a cool fall night. She lifted me to her, slowly spinning me. She examined me slowly, making sure to inspect every inch of me. Though Celestia had done this years ago herself, Luna’s gaze felt much more perverse. I felt myself twitching against such a lewd gaze.
Eventually she placed me down where I was. I shook myself a moment, then looked back up. Having pulled back the blankets, she was motioning me over, inviting me to join her. Well, it is my job, I thought simply. I climbed in next to her, gazing into her deep blue eyes happily. “Well Luna, if I may begin.” She simply nodded, her gaze never leaving me. I summoned a quill and notepad, knowing there was much to discuss. “Where would you like to start?”
“I would first like to get the more general topics out of the way.” I nodded. The general was always a good place to start. “The main thing I will likely call upon you for is conversation. I have dearly missed it, and hope to have a chance to enjoy some in the near future. And usually in the early morning, just before I retire for the day.” I smiled.
“I will gladly serve in that position Luna. And whenever you wish to use me I will be ready.”
She smiled back. Turning to lay on her back she pulled me close, resting my head on her barrel. I turned too, facing the beautiful ceiling. She had decorated it herself, as it matched the night sky perfectly. “Well, to business.” I nodded, knowing this would be as awkward as I thought. “First, my turn ons and offs.” I quickly titled my page. “I prefer being the dominant one, though there are times when I will want to be submissive. However, always work under the assumption that I will dominate. If it will be otherwise, I will inform you.” My quill flew across the page, taking notes. “Do not be fully submissive though. I like the challenge of breaking my pet.” I gave a small shiver.
“Your sister is the exact opposite. Always confused me.” I tried to change the topic. Her tone was begging to creep me out.
Luna giggled. A very evil, sexy giggle. “Well yes. I believe she once said that after ruling a country for so long, she wanted someone to rule over her.” I chuckled softly with her. Feeling something lay across my chest, I looked down. Luna had wrapped a hoof around me, pressing me to her. “Well, let’s continue. I find the color red to always be a turn off. Not sure why. I prefer cooler colors, the blue tones. Black is always sexy, but so is white and silver. Gold not so much. Too posh.”
I should have guessed. The princess of the night would obviously prefer darker, cooler colors. “What about lighting? Would you prefer candle lit, or moonlit?” I asked, trying to move the conversation along. Though her hoof wasn't hurting, the way she held me was new. I felt like a pet, being held close so I wouldn't run off.
“Depends. Moonlit will always work for me, though some settings and play require nothing more than candles.” I nodded again. So far, while unusual, she had no strange preferences. She thought for a moment. “Thinking about it, I do enjoy being able to watch myself. It’s very fun being able to see everything.” she gave a small growl as she finished.
I stared at her blankly. “I can bring in a few mirrors if you’d like.” While not overly strange, the way she brought it up worried me.
“Oh, no. You misunderstand. I enjoy being able to see everything.” She placed special emphasis on the last word. “It is much easier with a unicorn I must admit. There is a spell I shall be teaching you. It will make everything transparent. Truly allows me to see everything.”
I stared at her for a moment, slightly disturbed. I turned my head to gaze, very confused at her. "In what way?"
"Simple. The spell will turn my rump and surrounding area transparent. It will allow me to watch as you penetrate me." She spoke in such a calm, happy tone. That scared me more than the idea itself. "I hope you are willing to do this for me." She added, a hint of playful evil in her voice.
I sighed. I knew I had lost. “Yes Luna. I am here to serve.” I finished my notes, turning back to her expectantly. “Anything else I should know?”
“Nothing comes to mind, though I’m sure you will find more as the years progress.” I nodded slowly. “Well, next, my fetishes.”
Ohh Celestia. Give me the strength to face this. I’m worried. I thought to myself. Grabbing a new page, I turned back to Luna. “And what would they entail?”
“Many things. To start, the usual. Ears, horn, wings, other sensitive areas. I enjoy them all.” Well that’s not too bad. I quickly thought. “I do enjoy having my neck bitten though. Not painfully, but lovingly. Also, licking my spine always works.” She smiled to herself happily. “And don’t forget my hooves. They are very sensitive. Part of the reason for the shoes.” She shrugged. “Play with them if you can. I love that feeling.”
“Alright. Sounds like fun.” Still nothing too strange. Admittedly, the hooves part was a bit strange, but nothing I couldn't do. Though I kept feeling that she was going to come out with something weird. “Anything else I should be aware of?”
“Yes.” She responded with relish. “I will require the services of a mare. Unless Celestia changed something, which I very much doubt, there is currently no female consort. You shall have to serve in that manner instead.”
Now I was confused. I can understand that she wouldn’t have many preferences with regards to gender, and that there were things only two mares could enjoy. “Umm, Luna, how do you plan for me service you in those instances?”
“Simple. I will transform you into a mare when the need arises. And I think I shall leave you like that until I wish you to be a stallion.” She turned to look at me, a simple smile on her lips. I was horrified. I had no issues with serving the princesses, but that was too far. While the thought had crossed my mind a few times, I had never truly wanted to experience the other side of the gender divide. It looked like I wouldn't get a choice though. I still hated and feared the idea. But I couldn’t speak out. And there was no use hoping she wouldn't want that particular service while I still served. I had just over 400 years left. There was no way I was getting out of it. I nodded.
Shakily, I moved the conversation forward. “Other fetishes Luna?”
“Yes, there will be times when I will want two, even three stallions to serve me. I will not ask you to bring in anypony else, I will simply duplicate you. Though, I’m not sure how your memories will work.” She stuck her lip out and pondered a moment before shrugging. “Oh well, we shall see when the times comes.”
Again, I was disturbed. I knew it was theoretically possible to duplicate a pony; Twilight Sparkle herself had hypothesized it. Didn't mean I wanted to ever go through that. I sighed. I had some strange, long nights in my future. “Well, we shall cross that bridge when we come to it. Please continue.” PLEASE, I begged in my mind. Let's move past these strange things. I'm starting to get creeped out.
“Well, that finishes it for fetishes. Moving on to play!” She said a little too enthusiastically. Here we go again. “Bondage is always fun. I assume you already have everything you would need for that?”
I nodded. “Of course. What kind of consort would I be if I wasn’t prepared for something like that?” Though Celestia had never used it, I kept it well maintained. No use letting it go to waste. And Celestia had specifically instructed me to keep it. Only now did I see why.
“Good. I enjoy all forms. Especially shock." She shook with slight relish. I could tell she greatly enjoyed that particular part. "Most of the time, you will be the bound one though.” I nodded slowly. “I also enjoy candle play. The hot wax dripping is so very fun.” She added with a hint of longing. Looking into her eyes, I could see the lust and longing for dripping hot wax. She's going to drip it on me isn't she? I thought sadly. Better build up my pain tolerance.
“Are there any specific candles you prefer?” I asked, figuring it would be worth inquiring. And breaking her out of her fantasies. I could all but see them playing behind her eyes.
“Plain candles." She snapped back at once, looking down at me. "The only scented ones I will allow are ones such as Night Breeze, Cool Ocean, Brisk Wind, and Moonlight. Don’t try to find the Moonlight ones, I create them myself.”
While the idea of moonlight as a scent was new, I had to admit, it sounded interesting. Again I nodded. I looked back to my notes and saw I had filled a page. Setting the current one down I retrieved another, ready to continue. "What else Luna?" I knew my only hope of escaping this was to finish, find some excuse to leave, and run.
“S and M is enjoyable. Not as much as the bondage, though I do enjoy experimenting with it.” She looked off for a moment, lost in thought. Finally coming back to Equestria she whispered, “only during that will you ever dominate me.” Before she pulled away she licked my ear, sending shivers down my spine. “I think that covers everything.”
I smiled. “Well Luna, if you don’t mind there are a few things I would like to get prepared. I do my best to be ready whenever I am called upon.” I quickly exited her bed. While we had talked for over an hour, and I was worn out, wanting sleep, I had to get out of there. She was starting to seriously scare me. “I’m very sorry to leave-”
I stopped midsentence as she dragged me back to her, a seductive smile playing on her lips. “Ohh, don’t worry good sir. You can prepare some other time. You will have a few weeks before I call upon you again.” She placed me back under her blankets, wrapping a wing around me. I knew there was no escape. She was an alicorn after all. I turned to face her, slightly worried. “I enjoy having a sleeping companion most days. Though tonight, I think I plan to use your services. It has been a thousand years since I have seen anypony else. I am in great need." I turned to stare at her, the fear evident on my face. A thousand years? I thought to myself. If she hasn't had any in that long.... I finally understood just how royally screwed I was that night. I shivered. "Relax good sir. Nothing too kinky tonight. I shall save that for a later time."
It was at that point I realized the biggest difference between Luna and her sister for sexual preferences. Celestia was always very vanilla. The kinkiest she ever got was asking to be punished like a naughty filly. Luna on the other hoof, I believed that's about the least kinky she would ever be. She was the exact opposite of vanilla when it came to the bedroom. I twitched in terror as ropes appeared and bound me to the bed. Luna climbed on top of me, her evil, lustful grin growing, drool dripping from her lips onto my chest. I screamed in terror. It only turned her on more.
