Rainbow dash entered the trees to hide wile she watched Princess Luna. It did not seem like much was happening, she was just taking water from a well. Princess Luna did not have her regalia, crown or shoes that she usually had in public, she did however have what looked like a leather collar around her neck. She filled two buckets that were on opposite ends of a wooden strut for carrying, she put the strut across her shoulders and brought the water inside a marble building. Rainbow began circling the building. She took note of Princess Lunas movements and what she did, she also noted that Princess Luna seemed somewhat happy. There was a smile on her face as she went about working, repairing training equipment mostly. She kept doing that until nightfall. When night came around she returned to the courtyard and sat by the well.

Rainbow returned to the trees to watch her in a hidden place. Princess Luna sat there for a few minutes before a large grey alicorn Warhorse came up behind her. He had a red cloak on but that was it. Luna turned to look at him and smiled, but she saw the concern on his face.

“Is something bothering you master?” She asked.

MASTER!!! Rainbow thought in shock.

“I’m just concerned,” he told her, “If Sparta loses this war...”

“We wont lose the war,” Luna said, “Sparta has not lost once in its history, I dont think it will start now.”

“Still, they have a good deal of territory and they have greater trade than we do. We are off at a disadvantage.”

“You forget that you have one hundred thousand Spartans to fight with, and every one Spartan is worth fifty of Thebes soldiers. I repair training equipment so I have a pretty good idea of what any one Spartan is capable of when holding back.”

He chuckled and sat next to her, “I suppose you’re right.”

“I’m just surprised I had to remind you that all Spartans are in the very least good with a weapon. Considering you actually have seen your Spartans in action.”

He smiled then drew her close with a wing and Rainbow gagged. Things were getting a little too spicy for her and she decided to leave and tell the others of what she had seen. She flew to where she had last met up with the group and landed there. Twilight came from the trees and backoned her to follow. She lead Rainbow through the underbrush and bushes until they came to a small cave in which the others had set up camp. The others were gathered around a fire made by Spike she assumed.

“Hello there Rainbow Dash,” Celestia said to her, “What did you see?”

“Well,” Rainbow said a little hesitant, “I saw Princess Luna. She’s still the Spartan kings slave, but it looks like they’ve developed feelings for one another. In fact, just before I came back I witnessed those two making out.”

This caught the entire group by surprise. Then came an uproar. They all began to just express their disapproval at once. Celestia held up a wing to silence them, although they could tell she felt the same way. She looked at Rainbow.

“Did they speak of anything?” She asked barely containing her anger.

“Yes, they did. It turns out that Sparta is at war with a nation called Thebes, it sounded like he was going off to fight. This could be a good opportunity for us, if he goes off to war then he will be gone for an untold amount of time. But the odd thing is he’s an alicorn like you and Princess Luna.”

Rainbow had not believed that they could look more surprised than when they heard of Lunas affair with the king, yet somehow they did. This time though they weren’t angry but instead curious. Very soon they realized that this could be bad for them as alicorns were immortal with uncanny abilities, but him going off to war would be beneficial to their rescue attempt.

“We will speak more in the morning,” Celestia said, “Get some rest, I’ll take first watch.”

So the six ponies and Spike lay down to sleep while Celestia went outside of the cave. She cast a cloaking spell on the cave and herself then flew to the city. She began to circle the large building in search of her sister, it wasn’t that she didn’t trust rainbow, she just wanted to be sure. She found a balcony that definitely belonged to the kings chambers, she wouldn’t have given it a second glance of not for what her hypersensitive ears heard. It was a soft moan, she barely heard it but it was there. She landed on the balcony and peered inside, what she saw nearly stopped her heart.

There were several things in the room but she only noted the bed and the two alicorns on it. One was larger than she was and five times as thick, there was no part of him not ripping with excessive muscle mass and his wingspan dwarfed her own. His horn was as long as hers but it seemed as though he preferred to use it for stabbing instead of casting magic. His coat was grey and his mane was deep red. The other one could only be her sister.

Celestia watched at a loss for even the simplest of thoughts. The stallion and her sister embraced one another and kissed. Luna simply submitted to him, he on the other hoof was not so dormant. He pushed his tounge into her mouth, she seemed to enjoy it. But Celestia saw more than that, the stallion ran his hooves up and down her figure finding them in places that were questionable at best. But what got Celestia the most was that Luna seemed to enjoy this, being subject to non-consensual sex and she liked it?!

Celestia wanted to go in and kill that stallion then and there, but she knew better. They had to get Luna out and away from here without arousing a chase too soon. Still she could not look away for the longest time, until things began to escalate, at which point she left in fear of losing her supper. Both in anger and disgust. She returned to the cave entrance and remained there until daybreak.
