> A Royal Pain > by twisterwinds > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Sun Goddess > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A royal pain It has only been one week since Queen Chrysalis had deceived everyone, except Twilight Sparkle, and attacked Canterlot. A lone guard stood with his hands behind his back in "parade rest" stance in front of the castle. His name, TwisterWinds, of the Royal Personal Guard, his rank, lieutenant. He took a deep breath in as he stood on the other side of the two massive doors that separated the great hall of the two royal pony sisters from the rest of the world. Canterlot was still in a state of ruin, well, somewhat, and it was his fault, or at least he felt that way. "Twister please reconsider this! It was not your fault, if anything it was mine!" Yelled Shining Armor. "You did the best you could, you where out numbered! In fact I order you to not.." Twister cut him off. "I don't give a damn! Hell I deserve to spend an eternity in Tartarus for not protecting her! And you where under a spell, you have a reason why you couldn't do your duty, I was not! So shut up! I already took you away from your wife for most of today! So just go home and let me do this!" Twister yelled. Hearing the door open, a guard in the same armor as Twister's walked out. Shining Armor nodded, and walked away. "Princess Celestia will see you now." The guard said. Twister nodded and walked in, his wings pulled close to his body to make himself smaller then possible. He kept his eyes on the bottom step of the throne where she sat. Celestia, he closed his eyes as his memory of her slipped into his thought. ~Canterlot Castle, 10 days ago~ TwisterWinds stood at and saluted his captain as Shining Armor stepped into the room. "Lieutenant. Princess Celestia wishes to see you, in her bed chambers. You are to report to her immediately, that is all." Captain Shining Armor said looking at paper work. He then turned and started walking away going to go meet up with some V.I.P's from Ponyville. It wasn't un common for a guard to be asked to the princess's bed chamber, in fact Twister has been asked multiple times. His wings fluffed up a bit as he dawned his helmet and grabbed his sword as he left the officers quarters. Once outside Celestia's room, the two royal guards let him in without a second look, after all, he out ranked them. As the doors closed behind him Celestia looked up from her book as he stepped in and bowed. "Princess you summoned me?" He asked looking up at her. She was laying in her bed with a smile at him. "Yes, as you know, there has been a threat made against Canterlot. And as the Royal Personal Guard has been stretched thin defending Luna and Cadance, but I need at least one guard to defend myself at all times. Yes I could have the castle guards defending us, but as you know, the Royal Personal Guard is an elite group, none come close to their ability. But there are only fifteen of the Royal Personal Guard, but I have ten defending the castle, and two each for Luna and Cadance. Seeing as you are top of your class, I want you to defend me personally." She said with a smile. ~and it doesn't help you are the best looking.~ she thought. "Yes, your majesty" Twister said still bowing. "It would be an honor to protect you." He said standing. "Good, now you have to stay with me twenty-four seven. Where ever I go, you go, no ifs ands or buts" she said pointing to a spot next to the door. "When we are in here, there is your post." She stood, "now come, I need to bathe" this caught a blush from Twister. And his wings sprung out. "Heh heh heh, aww, is my wittle guard want to have a wittle fun wit his pwincess" she said teasing him. "Princess?! I uh, um.." He swallowed his spit, his wings out wide. He knew about a certain law, it was called "The Princess's Desire. " clause, it allowed a princess to mess around with an un-claimed stallion of their guard, and if he was willing. He shook his head and took a deep breath as his wings closed back. "I think I'll just guard you for now Princess." He said. Celestia walked to him, swaying her hips and smiled leaning down as she whispered in his ear "looks like I made the right choice to select you, my noble guard." She then walked to her private bath, which was more like half a swimming pool that was constantly a nice one hundred and ten degrees. Standing at the door Twister took a quick glance at her, her beautiful white fur, spectacular mane and tail, ears, her plump round... He shook his head and then caught her smirking at him. "Oh, I may have to have fun with you yet" she said, teasing him about his staring. Twister blushed and stared at the wall, leaving Celestia to pout. Then a wicked smile crossed her face as she grabbed him with her magic and pulled him into the bath. Soaking his clothing, "wash my back guard." she ordered. Blushing he did as he was told. Celestia then turned, grabbed his face and kissed him, he blushed as he returned the kiss, his tongue dancing with her. After the bath, she smiled at her soaked guard. "Get out, strip and get into my bed." he did as he was told, and soon, she took him intimately making him hers. After that, twister got back into uniform and took his post. That night, around midnight Celestia was laying in her bed and she saw her guard dozing off as he leaned against the wall. He was really cute. She had ordered a bed for him, yet he stayed his post. She learned he had been up since 4 AM the previous morning, ensuring that Canterlot was safe. "Guard, go to bed, or better yet, come to mine" she said with a smile. "But first, remove your armor." Twister looked at Celestia and nodded, taking off his helmet he freed his blue mane that matched his tail and eyes. And removing his chest plate he revealed a well built chest, leaving Celestia to drool. Getting in her bed he closed his eyes before Celestia climbed onto him and rested her head on his chest. "Princess.. " he started. "Ah ah ah, you'll ruin the moment" she said laying her head on his chest. He easily fell asleep that night, with Celestia soon after him. The next two days went smoothly, the Princess grabbed his flank a few times, pulling his tail about ten times, and kissed him more times then she cared to count. -Wedding day- After the two days of teasing, kissing and hugging, the day of the wedding was finally here, but before the ceremony, Celestia pulled her guard into a deep, passionate kiss. Causing his wings to shoot open. Speaking in a hushed tone, Celestia smiled "Twister, in the few day I've known you, how loyal you are, I wanted to say, that I...lov..." Twister interrupted her with his lips. "Oh...my..." A yellow pegasus said. "Boy howdy! That's how ya do it princess!" A orange earth pony said "Darling he is so handsome" a white unicorn said. "Way to go princess" a blue pegasus said. "Yay! I got to throw a princess has a boy toy party!" A bouncing pink mare said. The ceremony started soon after and the guards where all on high alert. Then a unicorn interrupted the ceremony, Twister went to guard the princess from the lavender pony, but was stunned when a second Cadance walked in "wait why are there two Cadence's?" he asked no one in particular. "She's a changling!" Said the real Cadance. Quickly jumping between the changling and Celestia, Twister got into a defensive position. Then a green blinding light slammed him to the wall, knocking him out. as he started blacking out his last view was Celesta falling to the ground. "I failed" he said, embracing what he felt was death. When he awoke, Celestia was standing and doing well. He slowly got to his feet, and walked over to Celestia. "Princess, im sorry, are you..." He was cut off. " I'm fine, go and assist the others around the castle" the princess said coldly. It felt like she hatted him. He deserved it. -present- As he stood at the bottom of the stairs he looked down, not wanting to even look at Celestia. "Well, what is it?" She barked. Celestia no longer wanted any deep relationship, fearing it was part of a changling plot. "I don't have all day, speak." She demanded. "Princess, for failing to uphold my duties, for failing the crown and the kingdom of Canterlot, I surrender my rank, my duties as a Royal Personal Guard and give myself up for punishment. Taking his helmet, he sat it down at the foot of her throne. He had a scar that was over his left eye, courtesy of Queen Chrysalis. "Very well then" she started "For failing to defend myself and the kingdom of Canterlot" her heart ached slightly as she chose her next words. "I hear by, banish you from Equestria." "SISTER! What are thou doing! He nearly gave his life for...." Luna started. "I have made my choice. It's final" Celestia said coldly as she glared at Twister. Twister nodded and bowed his head, a lone tear falling from his face "I am sorry, your majesty. I failed you" he said and stood, looking at her for the first time since the attack, he turned and started to leave. Celestia wanted to call out to him, to say she was sorry. But she had two, he allowed her to be attacked and Canterlot to fall. Two guards grabbed Twister by the arms to lead him out. "Sorry sir, just procedure" a guard said led him out. To an awaiting carriage. Celestia calmly stood and walked to her room, once there she fell to her knees and broke into tears. "Oh god what have I done!" As Celestia wept on her floor a dark figure stepped out of the shadows. "You did good, Tia, I'll hold up my end of the deal." Chrysalis said, with a smirk. "Your guard will" she paused "serve me well." She walked up to her "don't worry, i wont kill him fast, but it is a shame, a stallion like him, you just don't find them every day." And with that, she morphed into a maid and walked off. "Damnit." Celestia said, she gave Twister as a treaty bargain in order to keep Canterlot safe. "Forgive me, Twister..." > Chapter Two: A Broken Heart > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Two: A Broken Heart -Chrysalis Canterlot Castle- She smiled as she left her foe defeated, broken and distraught. Her hooves ran through her amber hair that sat atop her grey furred form. It got her through the castle, but she needed to go with her prize to the border. Once their, she would do with that stallion as she pleased. Her children may have all been scattered, but now she could focus on one thing, revenge. Darting into a dark room she changed form again, this time she was an armor cladded female unicorn. Not just any, the sole prisoner transporter for the castle. She stepped outside and stepped into the carriage that was moved by magic and awaited for her prize to be delivered. -Twister Winds- As he was stripped of his armor, given rags to wear and cuffed, one final item remained, the one thing that would mean death if he where to return to equestria, a branding. He closed his eyes as his brander took pleaser in forcing the hot metal into the back of Twisters neck. "AHHHH!" The stallion yelled out in pain. Watching this unfold from a window, chocking the life out of a pillow that was getting soaked in tears was Celestia. Her heart aching at his cries of pain that she caused. Her sobs confined to her pillow where like a record repeating itself "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Twister..." Then he yelled again as his hand was branded. Marked, Twister was lead to his awaiting fait. Stepping into the carriage a cloth was placed over his eyes blinding him. The unicorn mare smiled as the carriage pulled away to take her prize home. After a about six hours the carriage left Equestria and into the land of the changelings. Chrysalis spoke up to talk to him in her disguised voice "you know your allowed to speak right?" She asked only to get no response. Then she smiled as she stopped the carriage near a hidden path in a wooded area."Stand up and move it" she said grabbing his cuffed hooves and led him out of the carriage. "So, am I free to go?" Twister asked standing straight up and felt a tug on the cuffs. "Move it!" Chrysalis demanded as she pulled him up path. He guessed it was about a quarter mile long, but couldn't gauge it with his eyes covered. Once at the end the imposter led him into a dungeon in a cave. Chaining him to a wall a smile creaped onto her face. She cackled evilly and spoke in her own voice "your princess gave you to me as a gift, she never loved you" Chrysalis morphed and pulled the cloth on Twisters eyes to over his mouth effectively silencing him. " Hm Mmhmg ghm hmrm hmgm mmhm" he said muffled. It was meant to be "I'll kill you! You god damed bug!" But, it didn't work. It only got him a hard slap to his face. Smiling the changling smiled as she licked Twisters neck sending a shiver up his spine. "Heh hah hah hah" she laughed "you don't believe me? Just think, why would a immortal Goddess ever love you?" She could sense her venomous words hit their mark. Seeing tears swell in his eyes, she ran her hoof over his chest. And removed the gag from his mouth. "Jus..just kill me already, Celestia hates me I have no reason to live" he said crying. His heart broken but soon felt a warm sensation as Chyrsalis kissed. His eyes slowly closed as he resisted at first, then slowly, intimately returned the kiss. "Now my young, strong stallion, I'm going to play with my new toy" she said as her horn glowed... -Celestia- "Sister...I see, but that doesn't make any sense! You loved him right?" Luna asked angrily "Yes, I love him with all my heart" she said sadly. "And he loved you right?!" Luna asked irritated at her sisters actions. "He did, but he probably won't ever again" Celestia responded. "Then explain why. Go save him and" Luna was cut off. "I can't! If I do, all of equestria could fall and " a lound slap echoed through the room as Luna slapped her older sister. "You are Celestia, we have the Elements of Harmony, and myself and Cadance are both alicorns, and you think this bug stands a chance against us?!" Luna yelled causing Celestia to realize something. "Your right, get Twilight and her friends, find Cadance and Shining Armor. I'm going to get him back" Celestia said a fire burning in her chest. "You will burn you bug" Celestia said looking out a window. -Chrysalis- On a bed in a dark cave, Chyrsalis smiled having claimed her prize as a lover. Running a hand over the edge of his wings making a small moan emanate from Twisters lips made a smile grow on the changlings face. She looked into his green eyes smiling "your mine, now and forever." > Chapter Three: On Th Run > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Three: On the Run A bright light exploded into the dark cave, and there stood Princess Celestia in all her glory, a mane flowing in a non existent wind, her brilliant white fur, her beautiful eyes. She turned her gaze to Chrysalis and her horn lit up, "you filthy, heathen bitch!" And in an instant, a bright green flame fell over Chyrsalis and she vanished in a puff of smoke. "Princess?" Twister asked he looked up at her as she ran to him and kissed him lovingly. His eyes transfixed on her beautiful eyes, but Celestia stopped looking at him. Her eyes once again filled with rage as she burned the imposter chained to the wall. "Where the buck are you Twister" she spoke with a tear rolling down her check "WHERE ARE YOU!?" She screamed as her horn lit up and she destroyed the house above the dungeon where her love was held. Luna looked on at the scene, her heart breaking to see her sister in pain. -earlier that day- Celestia had appeared into the room and her horn lit up as she destroyed all the changlings in a bright green flame. But completely destroyed Chyrsalis as she exploded. Running to Twister she kissed him, then locked eyes with him. Her beautiful green eyes filled with joy. ~Green eyes, that's not right~ a voice said in the back of his head as his and her soft organ wrestled in a tantalizing and loving kiss. The voice went unheard as the kiss continued. "Come we have to go now." Celestia said as a green glow from her horn freed him and he landed on his hands and knees. He didn't object or question, he just fallowed her out as quick as he could. As they got outside into the forest, Celestia ran into the woods closely fallowed by Twister. Unknown to him, she was running further away from Canterlot. Her eyes of emerald green looked back to see her lover closely behind. ~heh heh heh, that's it, come with me you fool, your will be MINE forever~ Chyrsalis thought to herself as fang showed in a evil smile. Twister fallowed her through the thick brush and spoke as Celestia slowed down "Tia, how did you find me?" He asked then with an irritated tone spoke again "and why was I banished!?" He stopped and looked at her. Chrysalis Tia sighed as she stopped and walked over to him swaying her hips. "That bitch Chyrsalis tricked me and put me under a spell making me think to save equestria, I had to surrender you." Wrapping her arms around the banished guard she spoke. "But now I'll never let you go" she kissed his neck, making him wince as her fangs entered his neck and she drank his love for Celestia. She stopped and kissed him, "come we have to go." Tia said as she ran pulling Twister to a cave with a false bolder covering its entrance" Twister unquestionably fallowed her, and once inside, Chyrsalis Tia sealed the cave with a smile. "Come Twister, show me how much you love me" Twister nodded, his green eyes transfixed on the princess infront of him. He kissed her and smiled "okay my love" -Celestia- "Princess, we have two entire platoons combing the forest, and rode blocks from hear to Applelosa. Zebrakastan has agreed to lock down their borders and search for the war criminal Chyrsalis." A guard in dark armor said as he stood next to the princess in a makeshift command center. "Good job Star Shield" the princess said as she looked at Luna who looked down sadly. "Dear sister, what is wrong" Celestia asked as Luna looked up. "I cannot find him, not Chyrsalis, their dream worlds are both hidden from me." Luna said somberly but then smiled "however if Chyrsalis indeed made it so their dream worlds are hidden, I just have to search for large amounts of magical energy." As she finished a carriage pulled up and out jumped a pink alicorn. "Aunt Tia, aunt Luna, have you found her yet." Cadance asked as shining armor hopped out next to her. "I'm ready to teach that bitch a lesson" Celestia looked at her niece with a smile "get in line" she said still looking over the maps as Luna disappeared to enter the dream world one again. -chrysalis- Smiling as her fill of love seeped from her as she held the sleeping form of Twister in her arms. Her illusion of her body had faltered while making love with her stallion, but he was too deep under her spell to see it. She slowly dozed off and fell aleep. As she sleep a black alicorn stood in the shadows just out of her sight, a wicked grin and slitted eyes glared at the changling with malice "found you" she said as she vanished into the darkness. Leaving the changling queen to feel a shiver of fear to go up her spine, yet she was to full and tired to wake. > Chapter Four: A Goddess's Wrath > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Four: A Goddess's Wrath "I DONT CARE IF YOU HAVE TO LOOK UNDER EVERY BED FROM HERE TO ZEBRAKASTAN!" Princess Celestia yelled at a member of her guard as her fist made contact with a metal table, leaving an obvious imprint. Shining Armor sat on a crate next to the princesses looking over his sword and armor. Both where pristine, both ready to dish out justice for his friend. ~I'm gonna save you Twister~ Shining thought to himself knowing what being under the changeling queen's spell was like, but was snapped out of his thought hearing one of his guards talking to the princess. "But Princess, with all due respect, we looked everywhere, every single guard has been at it for no less then twenty hours and" the guardsmen said but was cut off by his captain. "Do it soldier, I know damn well you've been trained to go three days with no sleep, now get it done, that's and order" Shining said keeping a level tone and was replied with the usual "sir yes sir" before the guardsmen saluted, turned and took flight. Flapping her wings a few times, Cadance landed next to her aunt and gave her a warm smile "you love him don't you auntie?" Cadance asked knowing the answer already. Smiling and looking up Cadance spoke with the utmost calm. "Remember when I was a filly, how I couldn't wait until I was married?" The pink furred alicorn asked putting a hand on Celestia's shoulder. Knowing full well where this was going, Celestia smiled at the happy memory "and I told you to have patience, that in time you would find a great stallion" Celestia said. Then her face frowned "but I already found one." She added. Chuckling Cadance looked over at Shining them back to her aunt "your right, you know who he is already, you just have to find him." Cadance added. With a puff of blue smoke, Nightmare Moon appeared next to Celestia grinning ear to ear as she reverted to Princess Luna. Seeing the smile, Celestia spoke "well did you find him?!" To this Luna only nodded. "Where?!" Luna smiled grabbing the other two alicorns and Shining Armor and disappeared in a brilliant light. -Chrysalis- Smiling contently as she held her prize in her arms, chrysalis cooed she spoke sweet nothing into the stallions ear. That is, until that dreaded light. Shielding her eyes as light filled the room and soon felt a weight removed from atop of her. Looking up she saw that Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Shining Armor now stood in her room, and Celestia was using the purification spell Cadance used on Shining Armor a week ago on Twister, breaking the spell. "So, going back on your word, eh Celestia?" Chrysalis said mockingly. But in truth, it hurt to see him in the arms of another. Breaking the kiss, and the spell Celestia spoke to her beloved, the green haze lifting from his eyes "hey there" she said with a smile, "What, what happened?" Twister asked. "Princess? What's going on?" Twister asked then seeing Chyrsalis he quickly got into a protective stance in front of Celestia. "Welcome back to the land of the living" Celestia teased him, then turned her attention to Chyrsalis "You know damn well you tricked me bug." Celestia spat back. "Oh such an awful thing to say," Chyrsalis replied, then turned her gazing to shining "come back for more Shiny?" "Don't give me that filth, I know your spell, I won't fall for it again." Shining said drawing his sword. "By order of princess Celestia, I hear by place you under arrest" he finished. Chrysalis chuckled "Ohh kinky, but I'm afraid that won't happen." She smiled wickedly at Twister and spoke "and Twister my love? Wasnt our love making worth keeping?" "You dont make love, you only take it! Your nothing but a leech" The pegasus stallion shot back. Feeling a tear roll down her face "so thats how it will be" Chrysalis said as her horn lit up green, but instead of aiming it for Celestia, or Cadance and Shining armor, it was aimed for Luna. The night princess having not only teleported, but dream walked and been up for over two days, wasn't able to dodge the attack. Green flame met skin, and the lifeless form of Twister lay onto of the lunar princess, having saved her from death. "No...NO...NOOOOOOO" yelled the solar goddess as she saw her lover fall. Her horn lit up and teleported all but her and the changeling queen away. As her attention returned to Chrysalis, her anger and hate glassing very air itself. Celestia's eyes glowing a black and green flame, a look of pure hatred. "I princess Celestia, hear by sentence you to death!" There was silence, only a bright light and heat. -Canterlot castle- As light engulfed the throne room, the two alicorns, the guard and Twister's lifeless form appeared. But before any new it, a burning bright light appeared out near the badlands of Canterlot. "So, Celestia gave her death, that is too good for her" said a shaky and weak voice. Quickly grabbed the stallion who saved her life in a deep hug. "Ow ow ow! Not so rough princess Luna" Twister said chuckling sitting up. But before he could even blink, a pair of soft, warm lips pressed to his, familiar lips, ~her~ lips. Embracing them he pulled their owner close. He felt his heart slow, his breath struggling, he knew deep down, he wouldn't see the end of the day. Smiling he broke the kiss, his lips moved, but only one in the room could hear them. Looking up at the white furred alicorn who's eyes filled with tears, and stained her cheeks, a hand came up, whipped away one tear, and then white. ~Twister~ A never ending sea of white. Twister put his hands in his palms, tears flowing from his blue eyes, he would never see her again, hit was then he felt two different hands on his back. One large and rough, like a stallions, the other soft and smaller, like a mares. Looking over his shoulder, he saw two alicorns, the stallion was black as night, the mare was as bright as day. The stallion smiled and spoke kindly "you did well, you saved my daughters and for that. I am forever great full" he smiled and then the mare spoke. Her voice was, well that of angels, "why are you crying? Your in paradise, you will never age, you will never feel pain" the mare looked at him worriedly. With tears still streaming "even in paradise, I will feel pain, without her next to me, my heart will always be hers. She continue on, she'll find someone new, but I will always love her and be happy for her." He closed his eyes. "I would give this eternity in paradise just to have one day with her. I love her" This prompted a smile on the stallion and the mare's faces. "Then tell her that yourself." The stallion said as his horn lit up. Light once again filled his vision, air filled his lungs. His forehead hurt like hell, as did his wing. He looked up at Celestia who was crying. He didn't ask why he was back, but he didn't care. "Celestia, I love you" Twister said pressing his lips hard to hers. The sun goddess happily embraced him in a deep and passionate kiss. The three others stopped crying and smiles grew on their faces. But to the two locked in the kiss, the world didn't exist, only them. Breaking the kiss Celestia smiled "I love you too, my prince" she said with a smile "and I like the new horn too" "The new what?" Twister said with a blushing smile. ~looks like I get that eternity of happiness after all~ > Chapter Five: The New Life > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Chapter: The New Life Twister was panting and sweating as Celestia looked at him with an approving smile only ones lover could give. "Come one, almost there." And with one final grunt, Twister collapsed as he looked up to the vast blue sky with the morning sun shining brightly. "Congrats love, you did it and got it up in only 30 minutes." Celestia said and a snicker was shared between Luna and Twister, causing Celestia to become flustered "THE SUN! YOU GOT THE SUN UP!" Yelled the red faced alicorn. "Sister what ever is the matter?" Luna teased "I know you say a lot dirty in your bed chambers" the blue alicorn teased. Twister just wrapped his massive wings around his face, hiding his blush. "Luna!" Celestia snapped getting a laugh from her younger sister. "Okay I think ill go get some breakfast now!" The stallion said stood, as he started to fly he was reprimanded by his wife. "Ah ah ah, magic" Celestia said and gave him a 'you better do it' look, which he conceded and with a small flash, disappeared. Celestia only smiled as she walked away from her sister, who with a smile yawned and disappeared to her room. Smiling she looked down, her hand on her stomach "this next millennia should be interesting" and with a flash disappeared to her husbands side. The end. > Part Two > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you every pony for making part one such an enjoyment to write, and for every pony who asked, here is part two.
