As they drew close to Jeddah, Celestia tapped the carpet. "I think I will keep this a little longer. It will get us to the Sultan much faster."
Silver swiveled an ear. "We won't be able to take everyone, and guards, with us."
Celestia waved a hoof. "I have little pressing need for them currently. They'll follow us at their own pace. Go and fetch Bright and Bottom and we'll be off as soon as I discuss things."
They landed at the carpet depot and Celestia rose smoothly to discuss things with the salespony. Silver spread his wings wide. "Be right back." He launched into the air and realized the wind was caressing against a very sensitive portion of his anatomy. He hadn't softened a bit since his powerful surge of magic, and it was starting to get to him. He needed the company of a pony.
He spotted the boat and risked more magic, skipping through time and space to arrive on the deck in a dark flash of his night magic. The expenditure was too much and he grunted, feeling like he was going to paint the top of the deck before he could move.
Bright approached on seeing him. "Ahoy there, wel--" She was cut off as Silver scrambled at her. His magic grabbed at her, holding her still, only magnifying the situation as he climbed on top of her. She squealed and channeled her own magic, shattering his frantic hold and fleeing from him, leaving him to fall back to all fours. He felt like a spring wound up too tight, and his furry orbs were swollen to bursting. He took a shaking step towards her, but there was no way he could hope to catch up.
Bottom came trotting up to the distressed Silver, taking in the situation quickly and attempting his plan. "Do you need a mare, sir?"
Silver bobbed his head quickly. Bottom nuzzled under that chin. "Then make me your mare. Fill me with a dozen foals and I'll never leave your side."
Silver was far from the right state of mind, and Bottom's idea sounded too good to his sex-starved thoughts. He started to climb on Bottom, who shuddered. "S-sir, we should... retire!"
Silver wrapped his wings around Bottom and they vanished in a dark flash, appearing in Silver and Celestia's shared room, on top of the soft bed there. Every spell drove Silver wilder. He had to have someone. He drove forward, striking nothing but air. Bottom squirmed under Silver, and the next strike was true, burying himself in Bottom's back door with a soft grunt from Silver and a sharp inhale from Bottom.
Silver could remember that awful moment when his masculinity was taken, it seemed so clear, and familiar magic danced over his horn as he thrust again, spraying wildly into Bottom despite just getting a few inches into him. The release served as lubricant, allowing him to further penetrate the willing stallion as he desperately sought some measure of relief.
Bottom weakly pawed at the bed as he felt like he was being split in half. Silver's engorged member was dangerously large in his stretching insides, but he didn't want to be anywhere else at that moment. "Y-yes, please... A dozen, no, a thousand foals, just like y-you want, sir."
Yes, a fine and willing broodmare, or so Silver thought to himself as the magic wrapped around Bottom and the craze deepened. They rocked against one another as Bottom's form began to change subtly at first. He was already so feminine that the softness of his face barely seemed different, and the curve of his flank just made it more enjoyable to rock against him. The first obvious change was his soft cries, growing higher in pitch with every full stroke into his body.
The more Silver worked the powerful magic into Bottom to change him, the more desperate he became, which seemed to work itself into a horrible loop that led to them crashing together with wild abandon. Bottom's ill-used member drew up against himself and withdrew rapidly and his testes became ovaries inside of his, no, her, body. She shuddered as a new entrance to her body split open and her insides adjusted to make room for the new plumbing.
Bottom drew away from Silver, or tried. His grip was sure and powered by a need that would not be denied. She was drawn back into his embrace and shuddered with a smile at the feeling of being so coveted by the prince.
The scent of Bottom's changed sex reached Silver and he paused a moment in his frantic coupling. A mare, in season, willing and eager. He drew from Bottom's stretched pucker and lowered himself that small distance to reach her new nethers, grinding his member against her.
The sensation was strange, and alien, but Bottom knew she was wanted, and would be wanted. She looked over her shoulders. "Go on."
Silver pushed into her, claiming the submissive mare for his own. He felt the subtle pull of her desperate need for approval, creating the circuit as cleanly as any climax and he let loose the flood gates. His loins sang with relief as all the magic he had jamming up the works came loose and poured into Bottom in a seemingly-unending stream of magic and seed. She seemed to fill out somewhat, as if her body drew from the magic and repaired the damage of years of deprivation and barely scraping by. She was still slender Bottom, but she looked healthy and fit. Her midsection swelled with Silver's offering and she cried out with the new pleasure of it all.
Silver sank against Bottom, drained entirely, going limp inside and out and almost passing out on the spot. The realization of what he had done started to creep up on him and he cringed even as he slipped off and crashed to the bed bonelessly. "Bottom..."
Bottom quickly turned to face him, leaning in. "Yes, sir?"
Silver flipped his ears back. "I'm so sorry!"
Bottom tilted her head. "Why are you sorry, sir? Did I do it wrong?" She looked back at her flank as if something amiss could be spied easily.
Silver blinked. "What? No. You were... You did nothing wrong Bottom. I shouldn't have done that to you. God I'm such a hypocrite."
Bottom sat on her haunches, looking confused. "What do you think you shouldn't have done, sir?"
Silver pointed with some effort at Bottom. "You're a mare."
Bottom nodded. "I asked you to, sir."
Silver thought back, but it was hard to remember anything from the sexual frenzy. "You did?"
Bottom nodded again, nuzzling into Silver's cheek. "I did. And you did a good job, sir. Am I pretty?"
Silver felt a bit dizzy to be giving such judgments, but nodded. "You're quite fetching, Bottom."
Bottom smiled gleefully. "Then you did nothing wrong, sir. I will be your mare, to use as you please, sir."
Silver clenched his jaw, realizing what had happened. "Bottom... You didn't need to be a mare, not for me!"
"But I wanted to... sir... You... You didn't like me as a stallion, sir. You like me as a mare, sir." She settled beside Silver and began to rub over his form with careful hooves, relieving his sore muscles.
With the spectre of who was applying the touches gone, Silver enjoyed Bottom's touches, but also felt guilty. "You don't have to change for my sake, Bottom. You deserve to be a stallion. That's what you are."
Bottom shook her head and tapped her chin. "You said I should decide some things for myself, sir?" Silver nodded. "Then I am your mare." She snuggled in against him and he sighed.
With a sudden bright flash, Celestia appeared. She blinked at the smells and sights of the two cuddling. "Bottom?"
Bottom nodded quickly at her. "Yes, ma'am." She smiled, and Celestia narrowed her eyes, making Bottom shrink in fear.
Celestia wrapped her golden magic around Silver and lifted him up. "After all the scolding you gave me, you changed him!"
Bottom quickly moved between Silver and Celestia. "No, wait, ma'am! I asked him to!"
Silver could offer little real argument. He was beyond tired from the magic use from both of his horns.
Celestia raised a brow. "Did you now? Why?"
Bottom smiled. "He likes mares, ma'am. I want him to like me that way. Please don't be angry at him, ma'am."
Being angry at Bottom took more effort than Celestia cared to put into it. With a sigh, she set Silver down. "I want the full story, later. We should be going." She spread her wings over the both of them, and she whisked them away to the carpet, where Bright was already waiting.
Bright peered at the limp form of Silver. "He ain't gonna jump on me again, is he?"
Bottom shook her head. "He's fine now, ma'am."
Bright squinted at the voice and other differences in Bottom. "What happened to ye, lad?"
Bottom smiled radiantly. "He likes me now."
Celestia gestured to the secured seats. "Everyone take a seat. I'll do without, as will Silver. We have wings if it comes to it. I want everypony to be secured and ready to fly."
Her timely orders cut off further questions, and soon they were ready to take off. Shei set her hooves down flat and nudged the carpet into the air before turning it towards the capital. The soft caress of wind also helped to clean the lingering scents free of Silver and Bottom as they flew quickly over the city and out onto the desert sands.
Patty tilted her head as she looked over the crowded carpet. "Shei, sweety, you're going to have to catch up your aunt on what's going on here, because I know I'm missing more than a few things."
Bright put a hoof to her head. "You're better off living in ignorance. Name's Bright Eyes, pleasure to meet ye, Patty was it?"
Patty offered a hoof. "Patty Windsong. I'm Shei's aunt."
Silver felt enough strength in himself to at least roll upwards against Celestia. "I really didn't mean to do that," he whispered. "That boy picked his timing well, and put the question to me while I wasn't thinking straight."
Celestia lifted an ear at him. "So you were outmaneuvered by Bottom?" Silver clenched his teeth and was silent. A good enough reply for Celestia. "You used a great bit of magic. I should think you'll be quite tired for some time. I had Twilight's help to make your transition easier. You're fortunate you didn't hurt yourself."
Silver snorted softly. "This isn't how I planned to greet the, er, king? You said Sultan?"
Celestia nodded. "It changes hooves at times, but currently resides in the care of a stallion. He is wise and kind, and we've had no issues with him. Just be polite, and you can stand beside me. It'll look better than you falling over on anypony else here."
Silver squirmed a little. "We'd better get the other half of the bracelet after this, before Oman wanders off. I really want this fixed."
Celestia nuzzled into one of his ears. "As soon as we've said hello and accepted their hospitality."
