Pony Veracity

Chapter 14

Celestia's light magenta eyes blink with incredulity seeing her as a younger imperial Alicorn mare walking down the path holding hands with younger Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight; both are wearing yukata kimonos with sandals. As they pass her, she follows them to a small private area in the park with an extended bench. The two younger Imperial Alicorns sit down on the bench, and younger Celestia kisses Justice on the cheek.

"OK, Celestia, you said you wanted something tested on you? You also said you read how to do it in another timekeeper's journal from a dead planet.” Justice comments as the younger Celestia shakes her head.

“The Timekeeper called it ‘feet tickle,'" Celestia said, enthusiastic as Justice scratched his head.

“What is a feet tickle, Celestia? Will it hurt you?" Justice asked, concerned as Celestia once again kissed Justice on the cheek to reassure him.

"No, it will not hurt me or at least that is what the timekeeper says in her journal. Just to be safe, let's do it exactly how it says in the journal." Celestia said as she lifted her legs up and placed her sandals and socked feet on Justice’s lap.

"OK, Justice…first thing take my sandals off my feet. Leave my socks on for now." Celestia instructs as he slides her zori sandals off her feet and sets them on the bench next to him.

"Next, Justice…take my socks off, so my feet are bare… perfect, my love," Celestia said, pleased as her average-sized plush white with a hint of pink luxurious bare feet are revealed.

“Huh? What is that wonderful smell coming off your bare feet, my beloved mare?" Justice asked as the sweet floral scent from his lovely mare five-toed naked feet began to excite this unprepared imperial Alicorn stallion’s nostrils.

'I remember this…this was the first time that my average-sized plush white with a hint of pink luxurious bare feet was revealed. After this event, Justice and I did a lot of experiments on my naked feet…We never understood why my mare five-toed naked feet had a strong attraction to an imperial Alicorn stallion-like Justice…It was also exciting to me; allowing my average-sized white with a hint of pink luxurious bare feet to be exposed and experimented on was fun.' Celestia thought as she stepped backwards out of the portal back into the main area and watched the portal close in front of her.

Celestia’s anthro equine body stiffened in apprehension, awaiting the inevitable horrible pain in her head, the headache stuck and even worse sickness in her stomach for remembering something from her past. Went it didn't happen, Celestia gave a sigh of relief and continued walking about in this room before stopping in front of three stone block portals with her stylized sun symbol on them.

One of the three stone block portals had a black and white color appearance to it, and Celestia walked through it. On the other side, she finds herself standing in a large office; from the room's architecture, it is somewhere in Canterlot Grand Royal Palace in Canterlot.

Sitting behind a desk with her mother's magic history book opened was Star Swirl, the bearded he was listening intently to some pony else in the room with him. The older Celestia recoil in horror from the shadows steps the younger version of her wearing her in-training Timekeeper Administrator clothing.

"All right, Mr. Star Swirl the bearded…you got yourself a deal. I'll help you read my mother's history book. Just remember my terms of our deal." The younger Celestia said, warning as Star Swirl the bearded shook his head.

"Agreed, Miss Borealis…I am not allowed to control you or your sister Luna went you are crowned the ruler of Equestria. I may only know one of the possible futures from this book. You will pick the possible future that might help further my ambition…beyond that, it is up to me to make it happen. Is that all your terms, Miss Borealis?" Star Swirl, the bearded said, conspiring as Celestia used her magic to close the book cover of her mother’s history book and placed her hand on top of it.

"Oh yes, and the most important term…My ambition can't interfere with your own ambition Miss Borealis…I must say, my-my-my, an Imperial Alicorn mare is a very ambitious pony." Star Swirl, the bearded said as Celestia reached over the desk and grabbed onto the collars of his robes. Before Celestia's lifted him out of the chair, holding him in the air close to her snout with a keep-your-mouth-shut look.

“Don’t think you know my species that well, Mr. Star Swirl the bearded, because you don't know my species. Unlike most of my species, I didn't make this agreement for power, money or position. I make this agreement for the love of my stallion and worthy of being called his wife.” Celestia said bluntly as she tossed Star swirl the bearded back into his chair.

“In my experience, Miss Borealis…the most dangerous foe is a mare in love with her stallion." Star Swirl, the bearded said, anxious as the two ponies shook hands to seal the deal.

'For the love of my stallion…that why I broke the prime directive, I interfered with the time progression of the Planet of Equus…But why would I want to forget this event…I feel no malice in doing that… a matter of fact, I felt the most worthy of being Imperial Prince's wife and standing by his side… there must be another reason that I blocked my memory.’ Celestia thought, backing out of the portal back into the central area of dimension, confused with the memory block.

She sidesteps the black and white portal as it closes and stands in front of the following stone block portals with her stylized sun symbol, and Celestia walks through it. In that memory, the echoing of the soft pip-pops of the plushy textured of her relatively large, long, full, thick and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious bare feet making contact with the smooth tile floor of this room can be heard.

She gasps, discovering that she standing in a large room with the noticeable architecture of the Canterlot Grand Royal palace in Canterlot. Additionally, the room is well lit up from the several stained glass windows along both walls of this long and slender rectangular room with columns down the entire length of the room.

Celestia looks down and finds herself standing upon a long red comfy carpet runner down the center of the room. She can pick up the scent of fresh spring flowers wafting through an open window somewhere in this room. The floral scent sparks a memory in Celestia's brain, and she knows where she is.

'It's the Canterlot grand royal palace, and it is the first day of spring. That day the new class of Royal Palace guards is introduced to Luna and me in the throne room. And we give each guard their first assignment duty.' Celestia thought as she ran to the front of the room and gave a startled gasp sitting on the thrones with their legs crossed, one knee tossed casually over the other was her and Luna both were wearing their most beautiful gowns with excellent dress pumps. Their gold tiaras were nicely shined up on top of their heads.

'This was just routine royal duty for us and boring…but still, it had to be done. We always make the new class of Royal Palace guards think that we would give them a random first assignment duty…but the truth was we knew which duties were easy and which were hard. It was all a game to us…If we like the guard, he would be given any easy duty, and if we didn't like the guard, we would give him a hard duty.’ Celestia thought, looking at the small table between the two thrones with a pile of scrolls with first assignment duties.

‘It was this class of Royal Palace guards that totally upended our game. As the royal palace guards class walked into the throne room. Among this class was a majestic and handsome-looking dark blue unicorn stallion with his short textured cut crimson red mane and tail wearing the uniform of a Royal Palace guard.

Luna and I looked at each other, and we both concluded that he seemed very familiar to us. To add even more confusion to me, the soles of my feet tingled fiercely inside my pumps as I wore my shoes on my bare feet. Also, my toes curled and splayed inside the toe box of my pumps. It was that moment I called a royal recess.’ Celestia thought as the memory faded from the throne room.

The memory resumes sometime later in a small office just off the throne room; in the room, still wearing their most beautiful gowns and princess regalia, were Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. As Princess Celestia sits on the sofa in the room, her sister Princess Luna sits on a small coffee table in front of her sister; in her hands. She holds her sister's relatively large, long, full, thick and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious bare feet, examining them for her sister.

"I am no podiatrist, dear sister…but your feet look just as large and smelly as ever," Luna said unamused as Celestia's mouth quirks in annoyance with her younger sister's comment.

“You would talk, dear sister! What about your feet?” Celestia said sourly, being the taller of the two Alicorn sisters. Celestia has a more extended arm reach and seizes Luna's ankles from under her causing her to blink with surprise as she catches the edge of the table with her hands went; her sister makes her lose her balance.

A devious smile formed on her sister's snout as Celestia held both of Luna's slender ankles in one hand as she slowly moved her free hand towards her sister’s spike heels of her pumps on her feet. Luna swallows a lump in her throat; her sister wraps her fingers around her spike heels, and she can feel them slowly sliding off her gentle flowing beautiful slender curved heels.

Celestia slowly lifts her sister's pumps off her feet and tosses them over her shoulder behind the sofa. Left revealed in her sister's hand was pair of soft and cute looking dark blue wonderfully shaped bare feet roughly the same size as her feet but a tad bit smaller with satiny smooth lilac purple nail polish on all her ten elegant toes.

Beads of perspiration form on Luna's forehead beneath her short dark blue spiral horn in the center of her head. Her ten elegant toes nervously curl and splay as the fingers of her sister's free hand wiggle menacingly too close to her creamy, smooth dark blue soles that easily wrinkle; went she scrunched her toes down before smoothing out once again went she straightened them.

An unamused Luna bops her sister on her snout with her foot's smooth curved ball; she takes a good waft of her creamy soft dark blue soles. As Celestia rubs her hand on her sore snout, Luna slams her naked feet on the carpeted floor before re-crossing her legs, one knee tossed casually over the other again.

"That was not funny, dear sister…Why did you have me check your bare feet for you?" Luna asked testily as she tapped soundlessly in the open air of her elevated naked foot with satiny smooth lilac purple nail polish on her five elegant toes.

"My feet started to tingle something fierce inside my pumps, and my shapely and delicately rounded not too long toes curl and splay inside my pumps as well. I saw that majestic and handsome looking dark blue unicorn stallion with short textured cut crimson red mane and tail among this Royal Palace Guard class.” Celestia explains confused, whirling a strand of her blond mane hair around her finger nervously as the breath catches in Luna's throat with her sister's reaction.

"What???" Luna said, dumbfounded as she watched her sister continue to whirl a strand of her blond mane hair around her finger nervously and become flushed.

"Dear sister? Is this love at first sight?" Luna asked, questioning as her sister fidgeted in her seat, feeling squirrely with Luna's comment.

"Of course not, sister! I-I barely know that majestic and handsome looking dark blue unicorn stallion with short textured crimson red mane and t-t-tail.” Celestia said, flushed as Luna noticed her sister's shapely and delicately rounded not-too-long toes begin curling on her bare feet.

"Oh? (Making a service file appear in her hand) let's see, his name is Justice Silverlight; he hails from the town of green neigh at the foot of the Crystal Mountains…Plus, he was exceptional in boot camp; by the end of the training, he earned the rank of Staff Sergeant." Luna recites as a wave of acid wells up from Celestia's belly, followed by a look of delight appearing on her snout.

'That day, Luna was exceptionally bratty…after I composed myself from the sight of that majestic and handsome looking dark blue unicorn stallion with short textured cut crimson red mane and tail. We return to the throne room to resume giving this new Royal Palace guards class their first assignments. I quickly gave Staff Sergeant Silverlight his first assignment before I became flushed again…After we passed the last first assignment to the royal palace guards, I headed back to my bed-chamber to change.

I had just set foot in the royal living area went I heard the unmistakable click-clacking of heels on the tile floor of the area…My face was shocked; walking with Luna was Staff Sergeant Silverlight; she gave him a tour of his new post…I found out that Staff Sergeant Silverlight was reassigned to a special detachment of Royal Palace guards that guard the royal living area. By order of Princess Luna.' Celestia thought as the memory again faded and reformed into a new memory from the past.

As the memory formed, Celestia looked about and knew it might have been a few months later as she was once again wearing her most beautiful gown and Princess's regalia with her golden high heels on her feet. She figures it was most likely after one of her important meetings as she looked exhausted.

'After that meeting, I was so tired I was not paying attention to how I was walking in my high heels. I miss stepped and badly twisted my ankle as my light magenta eyes brim with tears. I called for help because it was too painful to even stand up to limp back to my room without help. I called for help for several hours, and no pony came to my aid…As I was about to drag myself back to my room, even those my ankle would hurt more…That went; I heard military boots coming toward me. I breathe a sigh of relief.' Celestia thought as she remembered the memory fondly.

“Princess! I heard you calling for help? What happen?" Justice asked as he kneeled in front of Celestia, a smile forming on her snout.

"Oh, Staff Sergeant, I hurt myself…could you carry me back to my room and call the royal physician to check my ankle for me," Celestia asked as Justice picked the Princess up in his arms and carried her back to her room.

'For some strange reason went, Justice was carrying me back to my room in his arms. I felt so safe in his arms…like he was required to take care of me…but not as a Princess…as a simple mare.' Celestia thought as she watched the memory of Justice turn around to push open her bed-chamber door to get into her room.

"Now let's see about your sprained ankle, Princess," Justice said, concerned as he gently sat Celestia down on her large bed and proceeded down to the foot of the bed where her golden high heel pumps was located.

“Staff Sergeant! Please! That not part of your duties to look after the well fair of your injured Princess! Please, Staff Sergeant, just call for the royal physician." Celestia said, her voice edged with tension as she watched Justice gently slip her golden high heel pumps one at a time off her reasonably large, long, full, thick and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious bare feet till her feet were bare.

‘After Justice removed both of my golden high heel pumps from my feet…despite my protests. He sat down at the foot of my bed and carefully placed my sprained ankle on his leg. He gently examined my sprained ankle…his touch was so gentle as to not aggravate my tender ankle. Went he finished, he gently placed my foot back on my bed.' Celestia thought as the memory continued to unfold in front of her.
