> The Mare In Gold > by Cardinal Dan Productions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Part 1: Dearly Beloved > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***A Waffen Pony Production*** The giant scorpion let out an aggressive hiss as it raised its tail, showing off the deadly point that was ready to sting any pony brave enough to come near it. Applejack took the challenge. She rushed towards the monster and jumped on its back, letting out a wild yell. Startled, the scorpion staggered back and forth as it tried to shake the orange pony off, and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy seized the opportunity Applejack had given them. With a length of rope in their hooves, the pegasi dove under the incapacitated scorpion. The deadly tail was caught by the rope and pulled down until it was flat against the scorpion's back. Applejack leaped off, landing safely on her hooves. "Go, Fluttershy! Get under its legs!” Like clockwork, the pegasi looped underneath the terrified scorpion, and they tied the monster's tail down. Twilight lowered her horn and fired several concentrated bolts of magic at the scorpion's head. The magic harmlessly deflected off of the monster's hardened shell, causing several trees off to the side to explode into a shower of splinters. "Hey, you!" Twilight waved her hooves as she yelled at the beast. "Come and get me!" It wasn't her brightest idea ever, taunting a giant, killer scorpion. Twilight almost regretted the plan all together, but it was too late. Her 'plan' worked, and the scorpion took the bait. Its tail may have been defeated, but the monster's two pincers were still fully operational and deadly as ever. Twilight took a couple of nervous steps backwards, but she held her ground. The scorpion was falling right into her trap. It realized this all too late, and it hit a tripwire set up by Rarity. The monster was instantly bagged in a net and hoisted into the air. In an act of desperation, It tried to cut through the net, but the silk was too strong. "Oh, I wouldn't try that, darling…" Rarity breathed heavily, huffing and puffing as she recovered her breath. "That silk is specially crafted, made from the finest and strongest fibers in Equestria. I promise you, it will not tear so easily." The scorpion ignored her and continued sawing through the net with its pincer anyway. To finish the monster off, Pinkie Pie blasted the beast in face with her signature air-powered confetti cannon. After that, the scorpion gave up, and its claws hung loosely as it sadly scraped the dirt. The ponies were victorious. Rarity was the first to speak as the others relished in their hour of triumph. "Twilight, I do hope you’re not planning to leave this creature dangling like this forever." The rest of her friends nodded their heads in agreement. Deep down, they all shared a shred of sympathy for the monster. Twilight shook her head. "Of course not, Rarity. We'll let him go when we can find a way to get him back to the Dead Lands." The scorpion shifted in the net excitedly at the mention of its home. Applejack removed her hat and wiped a tired hoof against her brow. "That’s a mighty fine notion, Twilight. Besides, those crazy villagers will be be even more relieved to find out that this fella wasn't trying to terrorize them. He just got a little lost." Rainbow Dash scoffed as she landed, her hooves hitting the ground with a soft thud. "A little lost? The Dead Lands are, like, a thousand miles away! How in Equestria are we going to get him there?" Twilight smiled at the blue pegasus. "Rainbow Dash, when you know the princesses like we do, anything is possible. I'm certain Celestia will be able to help us." It was a job well done, to say the least. A lost monster was incapacitated, and a village was saved. All they needed to do now was return to the village, give the villagers the good news, and return to Ponyville. That was the plan, anyway. *** The silence that filled the air was broken instantly by the return of the mane six. The villagers broke into cheers and stomped their hooves. They threw hay and grass along the dirt road as the 'Equestrian Outsiders' approached. The village chief, flanked by his daughter, stepped forward to greet them. He was a large pony, the chief. Towering over the mane six, he beamed at them as they got closer. Twilight and her friends stood before him. They lowered their heads as a greeting gesture, and the chief lowered his head in return. Then, he raised his right hoof to silence the roaring villagers. When they were quiet, he turned his attention back to the mane six. "My little ponies…" The chief’s voice boomed with an impressive volume. Every pony leaned in, intensely listening to every word he had to say. "When you first entered our village, you were outsiders. You claimed a magical map had guided you here to solve a friendship problem within our community. We were skeptical, at first, and we were unsure of your intentions. We have always thought of outsiders as evil and selfish ponies, but you have proved us wrong…” Rainbow Dash shot Twilight a silly grin. Not wanting to offend the chief again, she ignored her. “Not only did you help our blacksmith and his wife come past their ridiculous feud, but you went out of your way to stop the certain destruction of our village at the claws of that scorpion. You are no longer outsiders, ponies, you are now friends of the Blackstar Tribe!" The village erupted into cheers once again. Twilight couldn't help feeling good about herself. Her chest pounded with a sense of pride she had rarely felt. She felt accomplished, and she felt like she could do anything the world threw at her. The chief raised his hoof again to quiet the villagers. "As new friends of the Blackstar Tribe…" He gave them a wide smile. “… we request that you celebrate these victories with us. It is only fair that we fill your bellies with food and drink before your voyage home." Twilight was blushing even harder, now. A celebration wasn't a part of their plan. They were just going to head back to Ponyville, now that their job was done. Their cutie marks even flashed and glowed, signaling the completion of their task. She looked back at her friends. "What do you girls think? Ponyville doesn't need us right this second, does it?" They shook their heads eagerly. They wanted to party with the Blackstar Tribe just as badly as Twilight did. The purple pony grinned from ear to ear as she turned back to face the chief. "We would be honored to celebrate with you, your grace." Twilight then gave the chief a gracious bow, and the chief smiled. "Ha!" The chief roared with laughter and turned around to face the villagers. He opened his hooves to the crowd. "This will be a day long remembered! We will sing songs of you for generations to come! The stars in Princess Luna's sky will paint your pictures above to watch over us during the majesty of her night! Come! Let us waste no time. Pink mare, let loose your cannon of parties!" Pinkie Pie didn't need to be told twice. She pulled her party cannon out of thin air and gave it a swift kick, launching confetti into the trees. The villagers lost their minds at the sight of the colorful paper strips raining from the trees above. They cheered wildly as they welcomed the mane six into their hooves, and the celebrations had begun. A makeshift bar was erected by the pond in the village's center. Tables were set up and filled to the brim with salads, breads, and beautiful sculptures of hay and bark. Honorary rose petal necklaces were given to the heroes as tokens of friendship. Rainbow Dash laughed giddily as inhaled a plate of delicious, green leaves. "This party is wild!" Rarity blushed as a couple of villagers offered her a bouquet of flowers. "I'm in mind with Rainbow." She couldn't help smiling as they placed a rose necklace around her neck. "These ponies are just too kind." Twilight smiled wearily. She was glad her friends were enjoying themselves, but she needed a drink. The battle with the scorpion had left her parched and quite hungry. She excused herself, and she made her way to the bar. The villager serving drinks gave her a gracious bow. "Good evening, friend!" He spoke with a cheerful tone, excitement riding on the edge of his voice. "Is there anything I can do for you?" Twilight nodded her head eagerly as she thirstily eyed the sparkled waters and fruit-flavored beverages. Just as she was about to point her hoof at a tasty-looking, red liquid, some pony tapped her shoulder. She spun around and came face to face with a golden mare. Her coat was brighter than a dragon's hoard, and her silver mane twinkled like the stars on a clear night. She was the chief's daughter. In the cloud of her magic, she held a clear class filled with a colorless beverage. The golden mare offered Twilight the drink. Thirsty beyond any rational thought, Twilight took it without a second to spare. The chief's daughter watched with intensity as Twilight gulped down the soothing drink. It wasn't water. It looked like water, but it tasted like sweet honey and chocolate. It warmed her throat and chest to an unknown level of comfort. "W-W-Wow…" Twilight moaned as she eyed the empty glass. She almost felt sad now that the beverage was gone. It was addicting. "That stuff was… great…” The chief’s daughter beamed at her. "I am glad you enjoyed it, Twilight Sparkle." The golden mare spoke sheepishly, as though she was embarrassed to be speaking in the presence of Twilight. "Wou-Would you care to… dance with me?" Twilight looked around her. The festivities were only just beginning. Villagers, plus a few of her friends, were dancing in large circles around the pond. After drinking that strange beverage, Twilight felt compelled to join them. "Of course I'll join you, uh… I don't know what your name is…" Twilight felt completely embarrassed that she had forgotten, or worse, she never bothered to learn it in the first place. The golden mare let out a sweet laugh as she took Twilight’s hoof in her own. "I would be honored, Twilight Sparkle, if you would call me Sadri." It had a nice ring to it. "Right…" Twilight chuckled lightly and turned her head to the side in an attempt to hide the red hue in her burning cheeks. "Sadri… That's a nice na-naaaame!" Before she knew it, Sadri was pulling her away from the bar and into the dancing rings. Twilight was instantly caught in the moment. The festive music and laughter lifted her spirits until she was twirling in circles with Sadri in her hooves. Sadri laughed gleefully as she tightened her grip around Twilight. The two mares spun in circles until they fell down, and they continued to laugh. Sadri tried to stand, but her hooves were tangled in Twilight's, and they both fell again. This time, Sadri crawled on top of Twilight. The purple alicorn watched as she pulled a silver broach off of her neck. It was laced with gold trimmings, and a bright amethyst was shining in the center. Sadri offered it to Twilight. "This is for you…" She spoke softly, and her voice broke as though she was on the verge of tears. "If you'll take it… If you'll take… me…" Not wanting to be rude or upset Sadri, she took the gift, and she put it around her own neck. The golden mare beamed with joy. "Oh, Twilight Sparkle, th-this makes me so happy…" At last, the dam burst, and tears flooded down Sadri’s cheeks. Then, she leaned forward and kissed Twilight full on the lips. Twilight simply looked back at Sadri, her face full of confusion and wonder. Then, she passed out. ***Up Next: Angels At Dawn*** > Part 2: Angels At Dawn > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia's sun rose above the mountain peaks with a kind of grace that was impossible to copy. Twilight grinned as the rays of the rising sun purged the shadows from her bed chambers. Light creeped over her face, and her eyes opened at last. The dawn had arrived. Twilight sat up and looked around her bed chambers. She was in her castle. The purple mare looked around her immediate surroundings. The air was cold, and a gentle draft rustled the curtains. She looked to her left and to her right, very much confused. "Wait…” Twilight frowned as she tried to understand why she was in her bed. "I... I was in the village… How did I get back here?" Her questions were met with a cold silence, which frustrated Twilight even more. Twilight used the magic from her horn to levitate a brush that was sitting on her night stand. A few rough strokes later, painfully breaking any tangles, her mane is styled in the way she preferred. Then, a wonderful scent slapped her in the face, jolting Twilight out of her sleep-deprived state. It smelled good… It smelled delicious… It smelled like… breakfast. Twilight smiled as she slid lazily out of her bed. She figured Spike must have been making something in the kitchen. He often got up early to help with morning chores. She dropped the brush and exited her room. "Spiiiike." Twilight chimed cheerfully as she trotted down the corridor leading to the kitchen. The wonderful aroma grew stronger with every step she took. "Spike, are you in there?" She stopped in the doorway. Spike was in the kitchen, but he wasn't alone. "Good morning, Twilight!" The little dragon greeted her with a cheerful smile as he carried a bowl of batter to the counter. A golden mist then surrounded the bowl and levitated it out of his claws and to the stove. "Your new friend is great! You should have invited her over sooner.” Then, the pony beside Spike turned around, and Twilight recognized her instantly. She looked confused and bewildered at the sight of new pony in her kitchen. "Sa-Sadri?" Questions quickly formed in her mind and began pouring out of her mouth at an alarming speed. "Wh-What are you doing here? Why are you in Ponyville? Why are you in my kitchen?" The golden mare giggled sweetly at Twilight's innocently curious expression. She stirred the batter with a wooden spoon before pouring the pancake mix onto a cast iron plate above the hot stove, blatantly ignoring Twilight’s barrage of questions. Not knowing what to do, Twilight simply stood there, watching. Sadri laughed like somepony had told her a corny joke. "Oh, Twilight… I’m assisting your dragon with breakfast! Am I not doing it right?" Then, her smile vanished, and her face became full of concern as she nodded her head towards the pancakes. "Your dragon helped me with the ingredients to the best of his abilities, but I do not know how you prefer them… I am sorry to disappoint you, Twilight Sparkle…" Twilight narrowed her eyes. Not a single one of her questions got answered. She approached the golden mare, her glare unwavering. "Spike, can you leave us alone for a few minutes?" She had a few choice words to say to the golden mare. "Sure thing, Twi." Spike quickly collected himself. He could sense the tension between Twilight and Sadri. Not wanting to get in the way, he made himself scarce. In only a short moment, Twilight was alone with Sadri in the kitchen. Twilight repeated her initial question, making sure to articulate herself clearly. "Why are you here? Won't your father be worried? Won't the village be worried?” Twilight was worried herself. Her thoughts came up with numerous scenarios of how the Everfree pony could get into trouble. “I need to take you back, right now." She quickly took Sadri's hoof and began dragging her towards the door. Sadri protested physically, digging her hooves into the crystal floor. "I cannot return to the village, Twilight Sparkle, and my father will not worry. I am where I need to be." She tried to resist Twilight’s pulling, which only angered the alicorn even more. Twilight was getting frustrated, now. She stopped and spun around to face the golden mare. "What do you mean? Where do you need to be?" Princess Celestia would be arriving later to review her success in the Everfree Forest, and she needed Sadri out of the way. “Why would you possibly need to be here and not with your village?” Sadri's cheeks flushed bright red as her eyes darted back and forth between Twilight and the floor. "I… I am where I need to be, Twilight Sparkle… My place is beside my wife.” Twilight froze. Had she heard Sadri properly? “You are my wife, Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight cocked her head to the side. Unsure if she had even heard Sadri correctly, she leaned in closer to the golden mare. "I'm… Wh-What? I'm your… what?” Sadri looked directly at Twilight, her eyes burning into the purple mare’s. Her expression showed that she was dead serious. "As a newlywed mare, my place is beside my wife." Sadri now spoke clearly and with more confidence. "I… was hoping to please you with a breakfast you might approve of, but I see now that all I have done is angered you…" Twilight shook her head. "Wait, Sadri. Slow down. I am your… wife? Since when? When did I agree to marry you?" She realized instantly that what she said sounded a lot more rude than she had intended. "I… I'm sorry, Sadri. I didn't mean it like that. I just woke up, and-" She found herself cut off by a subtle, golden flash. "That is alright, my love." Sadri batted her eyes and smiled at Twilight, wearing her sweetest grin. "As for your questions… You agreed to marry me last night… I offered you the sacred elixir of my people. You accepted my offer and… swallowed it all pretty quickly…" Sadri giggled as she recalled the happy moment. Twilight remembered too as the memories flooded into her mind. She was at the bar when Sadri approached her with a sweet-tasting liquid. "After that, we danced in the rings of bonding. My father blessed the marriage as we danced… To finalize the contract, I offered you my family heirloom. When you accepted it, we… we were wed…" Sadri looked happy and embarrassed all at the same time. "I am your wife, Twilight Sparkle, and you are mine. We are to live, love, and grow together as spouses." Twilight's jaw hit the floor. She moved her mouth as though she was trying to make words, but no sounds came out. Sadri looked at her, her happy expression remaining unchanged. At last, Twilight found her voice. "This… This is unbelievable… I didn't… I didn't agree to marry you… I didn't know. Sadri, you are a wonderful mare a-a-and a good friend, but… but I can't be married to you." Sadri's expression instantly melted away. "You... are not pleased with me?" She sniffled as saddened tears began swelling in her eyes. "I… I thought… you were pleased with me when you accepted my proposal… I thought…" Then, she began to cry. Tears were flooding from her eyes like a waterfall. Twilight felt terrible. She had caused the flood of tears pouring down Sadri’s face. The sound of tears attracted Spike. The dragon poked his head into the kitchen, looking around the room for any signs of danger. "Is everything alright?" Sadri shook her head as she attempted to dry her continuous crying. "No, little dragon…" She sniffled as she wiped a hoof across her soaked eyes. "My wife is displeased with me…" Spike cocked his head. He looked back and forth between the golden mare and Twilight with a confused expression. "That’s not good. Who's your wife?" His eyes followed Sadri's hoof as she pointed to Twilight. "No way… Twilight, you got married?! That's awesome!" The purple alicorn smacked her hoof against her forehead. This was getting out of control. She needed to stop it before it got any worse. "It was a misunderstanding, Spike." Twilight needed to set the record straight before anypony else found out she what she had done. "We aren't really married. I'm going to take her back to her village and get this figured out." Sadri didn't resist this time when Twilight began pulling her towards the door. She was too busy crying her heart out to fight back. "Don't worry, Sadri…" Twilight felt like her words were useless at this point, but she'd try anything in an attempt to calm her. "Everything will be alright, once we get all of this straightened out." She used the magic from her horn to open the door. Standing in her way, was her five closest friends. "Oh, Celestia…" Twilight smacked her hoof against her forehead again. Rainbow Dash and Rarity exchanged odd looks, but Applejack was the first to speak. "Uh… Howdy, Twilight. Who's yer friend?" The rest of her friends nodded in agreement, all wondering who the mysterious mare in gold was. Spike ran up to them from behind. "This is Sadri, Twilight's wife!" He spoke with such excitement that Twilight was even starting to believe it. Twilight turned to him, and she silenced the dragon with a deathly stare. Rainbow Dash approached Sadri, recognizing the mare at last. "Wait… Isn't this that mare from the village? Isn't she the chief's daughter?" Sadri nodded her head as she wiped her eyes. "Yes… I am she of whom you are speaking…” She looked glum, now. Rarity looked back and forth between Twilight and Sadri. "You two are… married?" She squealed silently as a huge grin formed along her lips. Sadri lowered her head, and Twilight tried to avoid her friends' shocked looks. "Yes, but my wife is displeased with me… She wants nothing to do with me…” Every pony was silent, and several awkward seconds pass before Rainbow Dash broke the silence. The blue pegasus exploded into laughter. Sadri cocked her head and watched as Rainbow rolled along the floor, holding her hooves across her belly as she cackled. "Twilight married the village princess!" She screamed with laughter, earning a mean glare from Twilight. "Oh, this is too perfect!" Twilight stomped her hoof, and her horn ignited, threatening to silence the obnoxious pegasus with a cloud of magic. "Rainbow Dash, what are you talking about?" Applejack agreed with Twilight. "Yeah, Rainbow. Spill it. What’s so all fired funny?” They were all curious, now. Rainbow Dash collected herself and prepared herself to speak. Little 'giggles' slipped out as she tried to form words with her mouth. "Twi, did… did you drink some kind of special drink?" Sadri nodded her head quickly. "She did! She did drink the elixir I offered her!" Twilight held up her hoof to stop them. "Wait… Hold on, every pony. Rainbow, how in Celestia’s name do you know anything about this?" Rainbow Dash casually shrugged her shoulders. "I may have read a Daring Do book about a village in the Everfree Forest with similar marriage rituals..." She resumed her laughing fit. "It's actually really interesting. When a villager finds a pony they want to marry, they present that potential mate, that's you, Twi, with a rare tonic. If that is accepted, you become engaged. Sadri, did you give her a ring, or a crown-" Sadri spoke proudly, pointing to the jeweled broach around Twilight's neck. "I gave her my family’s necklace." Twilight looked down, and a wave of horror washed over her. She was still wearing the necklace Sadri had given her. Her cheeks flushed bright red. "This… can't be happening… Is there any way to reverse this?" Rainbow shook her head. "No way, Twi. This bond is for life. You and Goldilocks here are married, for better or for worse." ***Up Next: Happy Wife, Happy Life*** > Part 3: Happy Wife, Happy Life > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Cheer up, Twilight!" Pinkie Pie bounced in circles around her angry friend like an over inflated ball. "Maybe being married will turn out to be a good thing! No… Not a good thing, a great thing!" Twilight grumbled something inaudible as she rested her chin on the table. Sadri was already passing out plates full of fluffy, brown pancakes. It truly looked as good as it smelled. "I am sorry they took so long, friends." Sadri spoke boldly as a proud host, but the look on her face showed she was a little agitated about serving so many guests. "I wasn't expecting us to have... company this morning." Rainbow Dash laughed as she set her eyes on her breakfast. "That's alright, hot stuff. We come over uninvited, like, all the time." This extracted a frown from Sadri, but she said nothing. Rainbow Dash waved her hoof in the air as though was trying to get Sadri's attention. The golden unicorn tried to ignore her while she gave Fluttershy a plate, but the pegasus was determined to give her a hard time. "Say, Mrs. Sparkle… Can I call you Mrs. Sparkle?" Rainbow Dash laughed aloud at her own joke, falling Into a fit of uncontrollable snickers and snorts. Sadri responded in a bored tone, and she subtly rolled her eyes. "Yes, Rainbow Dash?" The rest of her friends didn't seem to notice, but Twilight sure did, and she almost managed to crack a smile. Sadri’s attitude reminded Twilight of the first time she met Rainbow Dash during her first day in Ponyville. Rainbow took a big bite out of one of her pancakes and spoke as she chewed. "What made you want to marry Twilight anyway?" She’d gotten her annoying laughter under control, and she managed a straight face. "I'm just a little bit curious." It was a good question, one every pony wanted an answer to. The entire table stopped eating and looked at Sadri. Even Twilight stared at her as curiosity burned in her mind. Sadri froze in place as she felt all pairs of eyes training on her. "Well… When she first arrived at the village, she carried herself with such confidence and courage…" She looked directly at Twilight as she continued, a small grin forming along her lips. "She proved herself to have a brilliant mind, and she even showed us her skills as a true warrior during the battle with the scorpion… Such traits are held in high regard to my people, and I felt I couldn't resist her charming mannerisms…" Twilight was blushing hard, and her chest thundered from the beating of her racing heart. "Plus… I… I simply found many of her… physical attributes to be most attractive…" Every pony, and dragon, was dead silent. They were looking back and forth between Sadri and Twilight. Breaking common trend, and the silence, Fluttershy was the first to speak. "Wow, Twilight. Your wife really is crazy for you." Her encouraging comment was followed shortly by a soft ‘squeak’. Fluttershy’s words made Twilight blush even harder. Sadri, now completely embarrassed, slowly took a seat in between Applejack and Rarity. *** Half an hour later, they were finished eating. Twilight's friends graciously thanked Sadri for the meal, and they went their separate ways. The castle was empty again, except for Twilight, Spike, and Sadri. As it was tradition after every meal, Spike offered to help Sadri clean the kitchen and dishes. "Thank you, little dragon." Sadri spoke with a sweet smile, but her smile was not directed towards Spike. She was looking at Twilight. Twilight stayed quiet. She felt horrible for the way she had treated Sadri. Those things Sadri had said about her… Did she really mean them? Twilight had to find out for sure. "Uh… Sadri…" Twilight’s voice broke nervously. She cleared her throat and tried again. “Sadri.” The golden mare heard her wife's call and was at her side in an instant, batting her big, ruby red eyes. "Yes, Twilight? Is there anything you require?" Twilight's heart pounded as she looked into Sadri's eyes. They sparkled like jewels, pure and flawless. For what seemed like the first time, Twilight began to see the beauty in them. Then, there was her silvery mane, which fell like a cascading waterfall over her golden cheeks. "I need to see you in my room." Without another word, Twilight turned around and began walking down the crystal corridor, towards her bedroom. Sadri cocked her head. She wanted to ask Twilight why, but the purple alicorn was already halfway down the corridor. Sadri looked back at the kitchen. Spike was already deep into his chores. Then, she looked back at Twilight. "I'll return soon, little dragon." Without waiting for a response from Spike, she took off after Twilight. When Sadri finally caught her, Twilight was standing in the doorway leading into her bed chambers. "You… wanted to see me, Twilight?" Sadri treaded carefully, making sure to not say anything that might upset her wife the way she did earlier. Twilight motioned her head towards the bed. "Yes, I did. Sit down, please." Sadri nervously walked inside and sat down on Twilight's bed as instructed. Twilight cleared her throat as she prepared herself to speak. "Sadri, when I… somehow agreed to marry you, I was completely misinformed. Surely, you must see that It was a terrible misunderstanding…" Sadri knew deep down what was coming next. Her gaze fell, and her heart sank into her stomach. It was a sickening feeling. "I understand… If I must return to my village, then-" She was silenced. At first, she didn't know what it was. After a few seconds of silence, it dawned on her. It was Twilight's lips pressed against her own. Sadri gasped and pulled away. "Tw-Twilight! What are you-" Twilight moaned like a lovesick school filly. "You're not going anywhere until my questions are answered…" It all felt completely wrong, out of her character, but at the same time, she strangely felt as though she could no longer control herself. "All of those things you said about me… Were they true?" Sadri felt Twilight’s determined eyes burning into her. After a few moments of hesitation, she let out a long sigh before nodding her head. "Yes, Twilight. Every word was true. Wh-When I fell for you, I just couldn't help myself…" Twilight was on a roll. She had that same feeling of pride when she saved the village. She felt accomplished, and she felt like she could do anything. It was like a buzz, a high. She could even compare it to a drug or a powerful spell. Kissing Sadri felt like she had filled a hole in her life. She felt whole, and she wanted more. "If you really mean what you say, kiss me… hard." Sadri didn't need to be told twice. She dove on top of Twilight, smothering her with kisses. Lips, nose, cheeks… No part of Twilight's face was left without wet kisses that left behind generous amounts of saliva. *Oooooh… Am I enjoying this?* Sadri moaned as though she too was experiencing the same buzz Twilight felt. "Twilight, I’m so happy… I knew my decision to marry you was a good one…" Twilight was shocked when she felt Sadri's tongue probing her lips. After a moment of hesitation, Twilight let her inside. Her heart was pounding out of her chest. The new feelings were overwhelming. *Oh, yes! I’m definitely enjoying this!* The kisses were becoming hotter, wetter, and more passionate by the second. Twilight pushed Sadri over so she was on top. The golden mare laughed her sweet, innocent laugh as she looked up at her wife from her new position. Twilight took a moment to look her over. She truly was a beautiful mare. Her golden, silky coat was glittering in the morning sun. "Do… you see anything you like?" Sadri had lost her ‘shy’ mask, and she spoke softly in a tone that was unmistakably seductive. Twilight nodded. She liked everything she saw. *Pinkie Pie was right… Having a wife really is going to be a great thing…* Twilight went down on Sadri, kissing her neck furiously. Sadri let out long moans as the kisses traveled lower and lower down her body. Twilight couldn't even believe if what she was doing was real. Every kiss she planted along Sadri's golden tummy made her heart skip a beat. She was going lower and lower, and before Twilight knew it, her lips had reached their destination. There was no going back, now. "Aaaah!" Sadri let out a howl as Twilight's lips made contact with her slit. "Oh, Twilight!" The purple mare knew she had done something right. She looked at Sadri with a silly grin before kissing her marehood again. "Ah! Yes, Twilight Sparkle! Yes!" Twilight felt powerful. She could have her way with this mare. No, not just any 'mare'… Sadri was her wife. They were married by the law of the village, after all. The feelings of sexual power and dominance grew within Twilight. "Say my name again…" Twilight moaned as she continued to lick up and down the slit of Sadri's soaked marehood. “I’ll do more than that...” Being the talented unicorn she was, Sadri concentrated as hard as she could. Even with Twilight licking at the wet folds of her slit, she could focus just long enough to craft a golden, phallic member out of the magic from her horn. Twilight wasn't prepared for what came next. “Ahhhhh!” She cried into Sadri’s marehood as her wife drove the member into her own slit. Once inside, the member grew, both in length and in size, stretching Twilight’s inner marehood to its very limits and bringing tears to her eyes, but Twilight didn't dare stop. The throbbing pain quickly was replaced by a soothing wave of pure, blissful pleasure, and Twilight felt more determined than ever to satisfy Sadri. It was as though she hadn't another care in the world. Taking care of Sadri was all she needed to worry about. She increased her pace and tongued the golden mare’s love hole with such vigor, that Sadri was left without words. "Ah! Twi- Ah! Twilight Sparkle!" Sadri tried her best, but she couldn't find the will to speak as she was pushed past her peak. Twilight moaned as Sadri's cum filled her mouth. She tasted sweet at first, but her cum had a salty and bitter aftertaste. Twilight loved every bit of it. Sadri was whimpering something inaudible as Twilight continued to drill her tongue deep inside her marehood. They would have continued, were it not for Spike’s interruption. The dragon's voice called from down the hall. "Sadri?" Sadri's eyes widened, and she shot up, pushing Twilight off of her. Twilight screamed as she was thrown off of the bed. "Oh no! The dragon, the kitchen… I completely forgot!" She had a worried look on her face as she untangled herself from the bed sheets. "We must continue this later, Twilight Sparkle. Thank you…" Sadri planted a big kiss on Twilight's lips before sliding off of the bed and exiting the room. Twilight sat on the floor, and she remained motionless. Then, she began to cry. The high that had once consumed her and made her feel whole was gone. It had left her the moment Sadri left the room. Now, she felt empty, without purpose, and the taste of Sadri's cum still lingered in her mouth. "Please… Hurry back…" ***Up Next: The In-Laws*** > Part 4: The In-Laws > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight knew deep down that it was the right thing to do. She had spent the entire afternoon thinking of many scenarios, both good and bad. A lot could go wrong, but a lot could also go her way, if she played her part right. Sadri had to present herself as well. After giving it a lot of thought, Twilight concluded there was no way around it. Sadri had to meet her parents. Rainbow Dash spoke aloud what everypony was thinking. "Uh, Twi, are you sure about this?" It was no secret that her friends thought it might not be the best idea to keep Sadri a secret, but to Twilight, something as big as this would be impossible to keep from her family. "I mean, none of us would blame you if you wanted to keep this whole marriage thing a secret from your mom and dad." Twilight had heard enough. She had made the decision on her own accord, so her word was final. "Rainbow, they're my parents. They deserve to know their daughter got married. I invited Shining, too." Inviting Shining was purely for her own benefit. Being the married pony he was, maybe he could give her some useful insight on the married way of life. Rainbow Dash shrugged as she lounged on a sofa. "If you say so, Twilight. It's your funeral." She exhausted a heaving sigh and descended to the floor, her hooves hitting the ground with a soft thud. Twilight turned on her friend and shot her an angry glare. "You know, you could show a little support." Her rage was quickly doused by the arrival of her new wife, but some of her glare lingered. Sadri entered the room with a silly grin glued to her face. Her grin faded as she sensed the tensity in the air, and her eyes jumped back and forth between Twilight and Rainbow Dash. “Twilight, my love, I have brought refreshments for you and your… friend.” Twilight watched as Sadri revealed three steaming drinks in the golden cloud of her magic. Rainbow and Twilight gave each other confused looks. Then, they look back at Sadri. "Sadri, it's the middle of July." Twilight quickly realized pointing out the obvious to Sadri would do little to help. She was uncultured to the Ponyville way. After all, she was only trying to please her, right? The golden mare simply stared back at Twilight and batted her eyes. "I… don't understand." Sadri lowered her head in shame as she observed the drinks. "I found this drink, this… hot coco, in the kitchen. I had thought you and your friend might have wanted some." Not wanting to be rude, Twilight and Rainbow Dash both accepted the Winter drink. Twilight made a mental note to explain the concept of 'seasonal beverages' to Sadri after she met her parents. Rainbow Dash took a few awkward sips from her mug before she was forced to give up. "Ah… I'm meeting Scootaloo tonight for some night-time flying practice. I'll catch up with you gals later." Rainbow Dash set her hot chocolate down and took off towards the door. "Oh, and good luck with your parents, Twi!" Then, she was gone. Sadri gave Twilight a confused look. "Your… parents?" The golden unicorn’s expression showed she was greatly interested. “I have only just now realized I have not met the life-givers of my lover. This pleases me greatly, Twilight!” Twilight sighed as she turned to face her wife. She slowly nodded her head. "Life-givers... Yeah… I invited my parents and my older brother here to eat, tonight.” Saying it like that made Twilight feel more confident about her decision. Sadri gave Twilight a sexy grin and stepped closer until their lips were only a hot breath away. "Let's make sure to show them how much of a wonderful pair we really are…" Sadri let out a soft moan into Twilight's mouth as their lips connected. Twilight nearly dropped her mug on the crystal floor. The passionate kiss was disrupting the concentration she needed to levitate it. Sadri tried to talk in between kisses, only to be interrupted by Twilight’s lips. "Mmmm… What... What time… will… they be… arriving?" Twilight broke the kiss, leaving a thick strand of saliva connecting their mouths. "They’ll be here in about two hours. That's plenty of time, don't you think…?" Twilight could feel the heat and passion swelling inside of her, the same feeling she felt when she shared her body with Sadri for the first time. That buzz… That high… It made her feel so good inside, and Twilight loved it. It made her feel whole in ways she had never felt before. Sadri's heart fluttered excitedly. "Pl-Plenty of time for wh-what?" She spoke so innocently, but Twilight knew that she knew very well what she meant. Twilight figured she just wanted to hear her say the words. "Follow me to our room, and I'll show you…" Sadri's chest nearly bursted at Twilight's final words. "Ou-Our room?" She looked as though she might collapse to the floor right then and there. “Do you really mean…” Twilight smirked and gave her a subtle wink. "You're my wife, aren't you? I'm going to want my wife's company in bed…" Sadri didn't need to hear anymore. She took the initiative and practically pulled Twilight down the corridor and into the bedroom. How much were they able to get done in two hours? As it turned out, Twilight was a lot more eager than Sadri had anticipated. Sadri screamed as Twilight threw her onto the bed. "Oh, my!" Twilight was on her in seconds, and she purred like a kitten as she kissed Sadri's stomach. "Mmmmmm... Where were we…?" It felt so soft against her lips, Sadri’s fur. It was like golden silk, the softest in the entirety of Equestria. Sadri giggled uncontrollably as she rubbed a hoof against Twilight's mane playfully. "Ah… I believe… y-y-you were… kissing m-m-my marehood…" Twilight chuckled lightly before teasing Sadri again. "Is that so?” Her lips hovered over the golden mare’s special place, which already smelled strongly of sex. Just minutes into the foreplay, and Sadri was already soaking wet. “The last time was my first… Perhaps you could help me get better at this…” Then, Twilight leaned forward, and she kissed Sadri's clit. Sadri let out a sharp yelp at the touch of Twilight's soft lips. "Ah! Yes, Twilight Sparkle!" Twilight's heart was racing. She figured what she was doing to Sadri must have been causing her great pleasure. She could see now that this was her goal, to cause Sadri as much pleasure as possible. She drilled her snout deeper into the golden mare's soaking wet slit. *Mmmmm... She tastes so goooood...* Twilight giggled to herself as her partner’s love juices ran down her chin. The mess didn't bother her. In fact, Twilight was feeling like a dirty mare, and she wanted to eat Sadri out in the sloppiest way possible. The wet sounds of her tongue and lips mashing against the soaked folds of Sadri’s slit drove Twilight wild with lust and desire. Twilight continued to think naughty thoughts as she devoured her wife's marehood. Then, Sadri got a great idea. "Twilight, give me your marehood… I want to please you like you are pleasing me…" It was an unusual request. Twilight had been so focused on keeping Sadri happy that she didn't even notice her own marehood forming a puddle in the bed sheets. Besides, this form of romance was all new to Twilight. How could she eat Sadri out while Sadri did the same? The purple alicorn lifted her head and looked at Sadri. She looked confused by her wife’s request. Sadri pointed to her own lips. "Your marehood… Put it here so we may both please each other…" At last, Twilight understood what Sadri had meant. She had heard of this position, from Rainbow Dash of all places. She eagerly made it so, and Sadri grinned from ear to ear as her Twilight's flank swung into full view. Sadri put her hooves on Twilight's cutie marks and dove right in. Twilight was forced to bite her lower lip to keep herself from screaming at the top of her lungs. "Am I… pleasing you?" Sadri's voice was muffled by Twilight’s flanks, but Twilight heard her, loud and clear. Twilight nodded her head vigorously. It felt incredible and indescribable at the same time. She was loving this whole marriage thing more and more by the second. In an act of sex-driven lust, Twilight lowered her head back down to Sadri's marehood. She took several long, deep sniffs, smelling the thick scent of Sadri's cum. It was intoxicating… Twilight could smell it all day, if Sadri would let her. She licked her tongue up and down the folds. At that moment, Sadri playfully nibbled on Twilight's slit, and she bit down ever so gently. The purple mare's wings shot out involuntarily, and she let out a loud scream that echoed through the crystal halls. ***Later*** Twilight let out a long sigh as she fixed her dress. "Well, it looks like this is it…" She had run over everything in her mind a thousand times. There was no way this evening could go sour, now. Everything had to be perfect. Sadri and Twilight stood in front of the main entrance, just inside the corridor. It was almost time for Twilight's family to arrive. The golden mare paced the floor nervously as the hour drew near. "Twilight… Will… Will your family like me?" She looked so nervous, like a little filly about to attend her very first day of schooling, wondering if the other foals would welcome her. Twilight turned to face Sadri and offered her a reassuring smile. "You're a wonderful mare, Sadri. Of course, they'll like you. They'll love you. I love y- I mean…" She cursed under her breath, but it was too late. Sadri had heard it. “I'm sorry… It’s probably be too soon for things like that…” Sadri didn't look upset, however. Her eyes lit up, and a huge grin formed along her lips. "You… love me?" She had a glitter in her eyes that brought a smile to Twilight’s face. A wave of relief washed over her. She was glad Sadri didn't mind. After a few moments, Twilight nodded her head. "Yes… I do love you… I can't really explain it, but I’m glad you chose me…" There it was again, that feeling of wholeness… It just felt… right. The lesbian lovers shared a quick, passionate kiss. Right on time, there was a loud knock at the door. Using the magic from her horn, Twilight opened the door and gasped. Her parents were there, as was Shining, but there were others. Princess Celestia bowed at the door. "Good evening, Twilight Sparkle." When she rose again, she wore the widest smile Twilight had seen on her in years. Princess Luna stood beside her elder sister, looking equally excited for Twilight. "Yes! Good evening and congratulations!" Of course, Cadence was there, too. Velvet Sparkle gave her daughter a ‘Don't mind them.’ look and stepped inside. "I'm sorry, Twilight. They insisted on coming with us to meet your… wife. Is this her?" Velvet approached Sadri, and the golden unicorn greeted her with a gracious bow. "It is a most wonderful pleasure to meet the birth-giver of my lover." Velvet shot Twilight a surprised look, and Twilight looked away, her cheeks burning bright red. Right off of the bat, her plan was falling apart. *** Twilight smacked her hoof against her forehead, signaling her frustration. What was supposed to be a nice family dinner with her parents and her brother turned into a royal get-together that would certainly be in the media the following morning. Twilight was already picturing the headlines. -Royal Princess In Ponyville Married!- That was not the kind of attention she wanted. Sadri, on the other hoof, was having the time of her life. She had never met Princess Luna before, and Luna, as Twilight recalled, was quite the celebrity in Sadri's village. Luna was enjoying the positive attention, as well. A thousand years ago, she didn't have entire villages of ponies who worshiped her more than her sister, Celestia. There wasn't any way to avoid the elephant in the room any longer. Twilight sighed and turned to face her parents across the table. "So… What do you think?" To Twilight’s amazement, and her relief, Velvet nodded approvingly. "I think she's lovely, Twilight. Though, it is a little sudden. You said you two were married yesterday?" Twilight nodded. "Yes…" Nightlight quickly finished swallowing his food before continuing. “Your mother and I were in the middle of our tax returns when we got your letter." He chuckled softly to himself. “And here we were, thinking you were interested in that orange pegasus from the Crystal Empire. The thought of you marrying a princess from a distant village had never crossed my mind." Cadence looked deep in thought, as though she was trying to recall which of her guards Nightlight was referring to. "What pegasus? Are you talking about Flash? Yes, Twilight, I also thought you had feelings for him. What changed your mind?" Twilight didn't have an answer. She didn't want to have an answer. She felt trapped again. This was not the kind of conversation she wanted to have with Cadence and her parents. Luckily, Shining sensed her discomfort, and he gave Cadence a swift kick under the table. "Ow!" Cadence shot her husband a menacing glare. "Why did you-" Then, she met Twilight's pleading gaze. "Oooh… I'm sorry Twilight. I did not mean to pressure you. I'm sure you are feeling enough stress right now as it is, being married just yesterday.” Now, it was Luna's turn to hop on the embarrassment train wreck. "Actually…" The moon princess cleared her throat as she prepared herself to speak. "From what Twilight's lovely wife has just told me, all of the sex they have been having has reduced her stress levels greatly. Good for you, Twilight!" The purple alicorn's ears felt like they were on fire, and her fur stood straight up. Of all the things to be said at the table… right in front of her parents, in front of her brother, and in front of Princess Celestia… Shining whistled softly and lowered his gaze to his plate. "Wow…" This time, it was Celestia who kicked Luna underneath the table, but the damage was done. Twilight was finished. She couldn't take any more. The purple mare stood and began walking down the corridor towards her room. She needed time to herself before she leveled the entire palace. "Twilight?" Velvet tried to call after her. "Twilight, where are you going?" She didn't answer. Sadri got up from the table and began trotting after her. Just as she was about to follow Twilight into her room, she slammed the door shut, locking Sadri out. Luna’s lower lip quivered as her ears folded down. "Oh, dear…" She felt terrible. The moon princess opened up her wings and embraced the sniffling Sadri who had retreated back to the table. Sadri sniffled as tears streamed down her cheeks. "What did I do? She… would not even look at me… Why is she displeased with me?” Celestia offered Sadri a sympathetic nod before firing a glare at Luna. "It’s not you, little pony… It’s my arrogant sister whom Twilight is displeased with. Luna, you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing such a private and inappropriate matter to the ears of everyone here.” She stood up from the table, and she motioned for Luna and Sadri to follow. “Come, let’s try to talk to her." They began making their way down the corridor, leaving Velvet, Starlight, Shining, and Cadence alone at the table. When they reach Twilight's room, Celestia knocked her hoof against the door softly. "Twilight, may we come in?" There was no response, but a few moments later, the door cracked open. Sadri eyed Twilight carefully as the purple mare stepped out of the shadows. Twilight was a mess, as was her room. It looked as though pillows and sheets had been thrown around in frustration. Books had fallen from shelves, and a lamp was shattered. Twilight looked past Celestia and glared directly at Luna. "You…” She snarled like a beast from the Everfree Forest. “I'm gonna-” "Twilight..." Celestia maintained her ‘motherly’ tone as she stepped in her way. "Luna will apologize for what she said, and she will pay dearly, but right now, I need you to come back and rejoin your parents at the table. We still have a meal to finish." She gave Twilight a warm smile and offered her former student her hoof. “Please, Twilight…” Sadri eyed Celestia carefully. She then stepped forward until she is face to face with Twilight and slowly leaned forward until their horns were crossing. "Please, my love? I… I am sorry things have not gone the way you had wanted. I will try my hardest to make them right…" Twilight hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't fight against the smile that was forcing its way onto her dry lips. She didn't know why, but she loved that mare. It was almost as though she physically couldn't bring herself to say 'no' to her. "Alright…" The purple princess still gave Luna a mean look, but she stepped out of her room and joined the princesses in the corridor. Together, they made their way down the crystal corridor, back to the dining table. It was time for round two, the dessert challenge. Cadence and Shining helped Spike bring an assortment of cakes and pastries from the kitchen to the table, all wedding gifts from Pinkie Pie. Celestia licked her lips hungrily as she eyes the sweet feast before her. Cadence eyed the elder princess with a worried look. "Now, Aunt Tia, remember what the nurse said about your sugar intake." Celestia dismissed Cadence’s warning as she accepted a slice passed to her by Sadri. "Oh, one or two won't hurt." Sadri shared a quick kiss with Twilight as she sat down next to her, giving her wife a slice of red velvet cake. Twilight’s smile fully returned, at last. "Thank you…” It looked like the night would turn out alright after all. Her parents approved of her new wife. That was the goal, wasn't it? Mission accomplished. Now, it was time to eat cake. Sadri watched happily from the kitchen door as Twilight and her friends and family enjoyed themselves. She let out a sigh of relief followed by a chuckle. She then smiled sweetly as she eyed Twilight, but her gaze wandered, and her eyes drifted until they fell upon Princess Luna. "Hmmmm... One down, three to go..." ***Up Next: Sadri’s Plans*** > Part 5: Sadri's Plans > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up to a strange feeling on her neck. It felt so soft… so nice… She felt a cold draft brushing against her fur, almost as though her neck was being gently caressed by a soft towel soaked in warm water. She moaned loudly as her eyes fluttered open. "Mmm… Oh, Sadri…" Sadri didn't reply. She was far too busy kissing, licking, and biting Twilight's neck ever so carefully. As Twilight realized what was happening, her moans grew louder and louder under the barrage of kisses. "Ooooooh, Sadri… Gooooood morning to you too…" Twilight moaned again as she wrapped her hooves around her lover. “Is this how you're going to wake me up every morning?” Sadri smiled at her but said nothing. The look on her face answered Twilight’s question perfectly. Then, the two mares shared a long, passionate kiss. Feeling hot, Twilight slipped her tongue into Sadri's mouth. The village princess laughed sweetly as she welcomed the alicorn's tongue. They sloppily exchanged saliva through their ever deepening kiss. When the kiss broke, Twilight playfully licked Sadri's nose. "Mmmmm… Good morning, my golden ray of light…" Twilight raised her hooves into the air, stretching her legs as a happy moan escaped her lips. Sadri chuckled softly and brushed her silver mane out of her eyes. "Good morning, my dark, evening star…" Those eyes… Those ruby eyes… They glittered in the light of the morning sun, almost mesmerizing Twilight. Twilight laughed as a cloud of golden mist covered her. At the touch of Sadri's warm magic, she felt more comfortable, and her mind felt more at ease. She pulled Sadri closer as the magic from her horn began to fade away. "Evening star?” She bit her lower lip as her eyes drifted up and down her wife’s body. "Did you come up with that one all on your own?" Sadri blushed hard as Twilight began licking her neck. "Is it too much, my love?" Twilight laughed and shook her head before planting a sweet kiss on her neck. Sadri couldn't hide the pleasure she was feeling at the hooves of Twilight, and a soft moan escaped her lips. "I love it…" Twilight pulled Sadri down and rolled on top of her, and the purple mare mashed her lips against those of her wife. Sadri didn't make any attempt to object. Instead, she welcomed the affectionate kiss. When the kiss ended, Twilight beamed at her wife, her smile stretched from ear to ear. "So… Are you ready for tonight?" Her eyes watched Sadri's closely, searching for her reaction. To Twilight's joy, Sadri gasped aloud. "You got the reservations? You did, didn't you?" Twilight nodded her head, feeling proud of her accomplishment. "I sure did. It's amazing what you can do with a horn, a pair of wings, and a crown…" She winked with a mischievous smile. "I've worked out every little detail. Our very first dinner date is going to be perfect." Sadri sighed contently. "I can hardly believe it… I am married to the most wonderful mare in all of Equestria…" The golden unicorn giggled to herself before throwing a hoof around Twilight, pulling her closer. "Come here, you." Twilight let out a sharp yelp as Sadri's other hoof grinded against her marehood. Sadri watched with intensity at all of the faces Twilight was making. "Oooh, Sadri… D-D-Deeper…" Twilight’s voice was commanding, but at the same time, she sounded so vulnerable. Sadri did as her wife demanded, and she rubbed her hoof deeper into Twilight's marehood. Her was breathing heavily as her eyes rolled backwards. She felt like she was going to cum right then and there, but Sadri stopped as quickly as she had started. Twilight almost screamed defiantly as Sadri slid out from under her. "Wha- Why?" It was the worst form of sexual teasing, leaving her like that… She was on the verge of an orgasm, and Sadri just… left her! Sadri could see the rage boiling inside of Twilight. She laughed sweetly and gave Twilight a silly grin as she made her way towards the unsuspecting mare’s flank. "Fear not, Twilight. I'm not finished with you just yet… You didn't think I would let the bed sheets have all of your tasty elixir, did you? Your cum is for me." Before Twilight could say a word, Sadri mashed her snout into Twilight's slit. Her legs quickly buckled, and she fell onto the bed. The golden mare didn't relent her attack. She licked and sucked on her wife's cum-soaked clit, extracting long moans from Twilight. "S-S-Sadri… You… You're so good to me… Oh! I love you, so much!" All had been forgiven in an instant. It was amazing how a little oral sex could right any wrongs. “I love you more than anything in Equestria!” Twilight didn't need to hear a reply from her ‘golden ray of light’. The feelings Sadri was giving her in between her legs were more than enough to show her appreciation. Sadri took things up a notch and gently bit the folds of Twilight's trembling marehood. Twilight let out a muffled scream as she buried her face in a pillow. She didn't want to wake Spike the way she did the night before. That was too embarrassing… Sadri licked her lips hungrily before resuming her attack on Twilight's slit. "That's it, Twilight… Don't hold back… Cum in my mouth… I want it all…" The way her lips and tongue mashed against Twilight’s private area couldn't have been more messy. It was the wet sounds that now drove Twilight wild, adding to the pleasurable experience. She was painfully close, and the golden mare's dirty language was driving her past the point of no return. After a few more seconds of pleasure, Sadri would get her prize. The golden mare pushed Twilight over the deep end and drilled her tongue deep inside Twilight's marehood. Twilight held her hooves over her mouth as she came. Thick loads of the creamy substance squirted out of the purple mare's slit and into Sadri's awaiting mouth. Some shots flew right past her mouth and landed on her face and in her mane. "Mmmmm… Twilight, that was your best orgasm yet…" Sadri moaned softly as she swallowed the cum in her mouth. “So much of it came out… I'm a mess…” Twilight sat up shakily and turned to face her wife. "Oh, Sadri…” Her eyes widened as she saw her wife’s face and mane covered in cum. It was her cum. "I… I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to- I… Oh, Celestia…” "Don't be sorry, my love… You did exactly as I wanted, and I couldn't be happier. Do you want to help me clean it off?" She did it again, that thing she did that made Twilight so compliant. Sadri pulled off that sexy grin that made Twilight’s heart flutter in her chest. How could she refuse? Twilight nodded her head eagerly, and she leaned forward and began licking Sadri's face. Sadri giggled as her wife licked away the cum. Twilight finished the job by licking up a thick wad of her own cum off of Sadri's snout. Sadri opened her mouth as though she is about to speak, but Twilight kissed her full on the lips, forcing some of the cum in her mouth to spill over into Sadri's. "Oh… Mm-Mmmmm…" She moaned happily as she and Twilight swapped the cum and saliva back and forth. When the kiss broke, a thick strand of messy mixture connected their lips, bridging the gap. "Some things never change…” Twilight laughed softly as she wiped the cum away from her snout. "Maybe we’ll have a little more time to ourselves before our date tonight. I've got a new spell I'd like to try out…” “A new spell?” Sadri sounded intrigued, her curiosity heightened at the sound of what Twilight had to offer. “I'd like that, Twilight.” The two mare's laughed together and fell over in bed. Twilight was nearly in tears by the time she had managed to get her laughing fit under control. “Ah… I love you, Sadri… I love you so much…” Then, they shared one last, lustful kiss, sharing what remained of their cum and saliva. The golden mare swallowed the cum and saliva mixture in her mouth with a loud 'gulp'. "And I love you, Twilight Sparkle… Are you ready for breakfast?" Twilight's ears perked up at the thought of 'food'. "I'll race you to the kitchen." The alicorn hurriedly jumped out of the bed with Sadri right on her hooves. The two mares broke through the door and into the corridor, falling over each other. As they tried to stand up, their legs became tangled, and they both fell over again, laughing as they did so. The noise was enough to wake the little dragon sleeping down the hall. Spike raced to meet up with them, holding his claws over his stomach to signal his morning hunger. "Is it time for breakfast?" Sadri picked him up and planted a big kiss on his cheek. "Good morning, Spike, my favorite dragon." She twirled him around and around until he was thoroughly dizzy. "Will you join Twilight and myself for the morning meal?" Spike nodded his head eagerly as he tried to regain the ability to see straight. "Sure, but you should really brush your teeth first…" He had noticed the thick aroma of sex coming from her mouth. Luckily, he didn't know exactly what it was. Sadri dropped him quickly, her cheeks blushing bright red. "Uh… Ye-Yes… You are correct, little dragon. In my rush to the kitchen, I have forgotten to brush my teeth… That is all…” Twilight laughed as she ushered them down the hall. The oral hygiene could wait. Right now, it was time to eat. The mares had a big day ahead of them, and they couldn't accomplish anything on empty stomachs. They shared a quick kiss, savoring the remnants of cum in their mouths. Spike cringed as he watched the mares kiss. Twilight gave him a ‘wink’ and ruffled the spikes on his head. "Oh, get over it, Spike." Spike crossed his arms and looked at them with a disgusted expression. "Yeah, that's not happening. Just keep the ‘married’ stuff you do away from me.” Twilight didn't care for what he had to say. She didn't need his opinion. She had a wonderful wife, and she couldn't be happier. She turned her inner thoughts to few days back, the fateful night when Sadri proposed to her through a drink, a dance, and a necklace… It all seemed so magical. What she thought was a terrible misunderstanding was actually the greatest thing ever to happen to her. Her life had changed dramatically, and beyond the shadow of the doubt, it had changed for the better. "I'll return shortly, my love." Sadri left a gentle kiss on her cheek before she retreated into the kitchen. Twilight waved 'goodbye' before joining Spike at the dining table. Her sweet smile melted the moment Twilight and Spike were out of sight. "Uhg…" She groaned aloud as she prepared to begin cooking. "I think I may have overdid the Amor Elixir… She's a complete, gushy romantic…" With all of the tools and bowls on the counter, she was ready to begin. "Just keep a level head, Sadri…" The golden mare hummed a soft melody to herself as she began breaking eggs into a bowl. "Once I have the other three falling for me, Equestria will be mine…" ***Up Next: A Sinister Seduction*** > Part 6: A Sinister Seduction > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight hummed cheerfully as she tied the last ribbon on her dress into a firm knot. Sadri entered the bedroom a moment later. She instantly noticed Twilight in her dressed and gave the mare a nod of approval. "You're looking quite wonderful, Twilight." Sadri smiled sweetly as she joined her wife by the mirror. Twilight stopped humming and shook her head, as though she was coming out of a trance. "Huh? Wh-What?" Sadri nodded her head towards Twilight’s apparel. "Your dress… I think you look good in it, good enough to eat…" Twilight’s cheeks turned bright red at the sexual compliment. "Well… It is our first big date since we got married." She exhausted a long sigh and pursed her lips. "Doesn't it seem a little… backwards to you? I mean, normally, ponies go on dates, then they get married." Sadri winced as she ran a comb through her mane, breaking any tangles that had formed during the heat of sex. "We do seem to have done the exact opposite in your Equestrian culture… In the ways of my people, marriage comes first. I suppose you could say we are a little… backwards to your ways." Twilight looked over at her, her face feeling hot as a wave of embarrassment washed over her. "Oh, I didn't mean it like that, Sadri… I'm sorry, I just-" Sadri quickly silenced Twilight by pressing her hoof against the purple princess' lips. Her fiery eyes burned into Twilight's, and a lustful look crossed over her face. "Don't apologize, my love..." Sadri spoke in a low, sexy voice. "I know your intentions were not to offend me." The glowing of Sadri's eyes mesmerized Twilight. She felt waves of warmth and comfort washing over her as Sadri's words gently touched her ears, tempting her with pleasures untold. "Come, my love… Let us away. We would not want to be late and miss our reservation now, would we?" Twilight nodded her head slowly as she looked into the shining light of the golden mare's eyes. They were so beautiful. She couldn't will herself to look away from Sadri's eyes. The purple mare felt a buzz in her chest they quickly grew until it was consuming her entire body. Then, Sadri pulled Twilight into a quick kiss before gesturing her towards the door. *** A little while later, Princess Twilight and her wife, Sadri, were walking into one of Ponyville's most exclusive eateries, The Silver Shield. Twilight was happily greeted at the door by a waiter, who quickly lead her and Sadri to their table. She eyed every shining and sparkling thing around her with the eyes of a filly on Hearth's Warming Day. Eating at such fine establishments was not normal for her. Sadri noticed and let out a hearty chuckle. "Has the Princess of Ponyville never eaten here?" She teasingly bumped her flank against Twilight's before sitting at the table. Twilight shook her head as she lowered herself to her seat. “No, actually… It's not that I don't like the food, I've just preferred to eat with my friends, and it would be impossible to get all of them in here at once. It was hard enough getting reservations for just the two of us.” The waiter gave them both a short bow before he passed around menus for them to browse through. "I'll return with your appetizers, shortly, your majesties. Shall I bring you anything to drink?" "Um… Crystal Heart, for me…" Sadri muttered her order quietly, almost as though she was embarrassed to be ordering alcohol in front of Twilight. The waiter scribbled the note on his pad before turning to Twilight. Twilight simply smiled at him and shook her head. "Oh… Nothing fancy for me… I'll just have water, please." The waiter gave them both another short bow. As he turned to walk back towards the kitchen, Sadri stopped him. While Twilight wasn't looking, she pulled the waiter's ear close to her lips. "Actually, could you bring her something a little more… dizzying? Tonight is a very special night, and… Well, I don't need to tell you all of the little details." The waiter looked over at Twilight, who was still busy with her menu, and he nodded his head. "Of course, ma'am. What should I bring her?" Sadri grinned maliciously. "Surprise her… Bring her your very best, but bring it by me, first." The waiter wasn't a stallion to argue. He gave Sadri a silent nod before retreating to the kitchen. After Twilight had decided on what she wanted from the menu, she folded it back up the way she found it. Sadri did the same, and both menus were placed by the edge of the table. Then, Twilight noticed something she had not seen before. It was a third menu. It was sitting in front of a third, empty chair. "Hm… That's funny. I thought I had made a reservation for two…" Twilight cocked her head to the side. “Do you think they gave us an extra menu by mistake?” Sadri blushed subtlety. "I… may have invited Princess Luna to join us… After talking with her when meeting your parents, I found her to be a great conversationalist. Besides, who better to share the night with than the princess of the night herself?” Twilight frowned. This was supposed to be their date, but before she could object to Sadri decision, the moon princess arrived at the table. "Good evening, my friends!" Princess Luna smiled at Twilight and Sadri as she seated herself. "I apologize for my tardiness. I was lowering the moon." Twilight glanced towards the nearest window, and she briefly considered jumping out of it. Sure enough, the last rays of the fading sun were gone. A pale light, the moon, could be seen glowing through the glass. Sadri smiled seductively as her eyes began to glow. "Yes… It is a good evening, I agree. You have done an excellent job as always, princess." Luna made a confused look on her face and eyed Sadri carefully. "What do you mean, golden one?” "Your night…" Sadri gestured towards the window. "It looks stunningly beautiful, as always…" Luna couldn't help blushing at her compliment. “Why… Thank you. I suppose I did put a little more effort than I normally do into decorating the night sky…” By now, the waiter had arrived with Twilight and Sadri's drinks. Twilight's eyes narrowed at the sight of the alcoholic beverage in front of her. Twilight turned her gaze to the waiter, who began sweating nervously. "I thought I asked for water." The waiter then looked at Sadri, silently asking for help. Sadri placed a gentle hoof on Twilight's. "Twilight, my love, tonight is a special night. It is one we should not let slip away without pleasures such as these. I asked our fine server to bring you this drink so we may further advance the joys of our date." Twilight frowned. She looked down at the drink, then back up at Sadri. "But I thought-" Sadri cut her off by gently pressing her hoof against Twilight's lips. Her eyes flashed a bright, golden hue as they burned into Twilight's eyes. "Do not 'think’, Twilight Sparkle..." Sadri spoke in a low and commanding voice. "Obey…" Twilight, captured in the glow of Sadri's eyes, nodded her head slowly as she began sipping on her drink. Luna, who had been lost in her menu, finally looked up and signaled the waiter. "I'll have your special, tonight." The waiter gave the three mares a low bow before retreating to the kitchen. With her meal ordered and the waiter out of the way, Luna turned her attention towards Sadri and smiled. "So, golden mare, you are truly enjoying my night?" Sadri nodded her head eagerly. "Oh, yes, princess Luna. It is a most pleasurable experience to see the night sky from Ponyville. In the Everfree Forest, the trees often obscured my view… It is a disappointing experience when I cannot see your beautiful stars…” Luna chuckled as she turned her head to hide her red cheeks. "I see… I must say, it is rare to meet a fine mare with a love of the night." Sadri’s mouth curled into a sexy grin, and she bit her bottom lip as she gazed into Luna's eyes. "What's not to love? Some of life's greatest pleasures happen in the dark…" Luna's mind was quick to catch what Sadri was implying, and her cheeks turned bright red as the golden mare's eyes burned into her. "Your wife must enjoy those… ‘pleasures’ with you…" The moon princess stuttered as Sadri scooted her chair closer towards her. Sadri's hoof was now resting on Luna's. "Oh, she does indeed…" The moon princess' chest was racing. Luna's eyes darted towards Twilight, but the purple mare did nothing to stop Sadri's advances. Twilight simply watched as her wife leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on Princess Luna's cheek. "And you will, too, Princess Luna…" Luna gulped nervously as Sadri pressed her wet lips against her cheek over and over again. Twilight watched on, gazing lazily at her wife's sexual advances towards Luna. "You're enjoying this… I can feel it…" Sadri moaned in Luna's ear. “You want this just as badly as I do…” Luna’s eyes shifted to Twilight again. "You… are very seductive…" There was still no reaction from the purple mare. She then looked back at Sadri. "Why are you doing this? What is it you want?" Sadri raised her hoof up to Luna's cheek and turned her head so the princess was forced to look directly at her. "Isn't it obvious?" Sadri’s voice washed over Luna, making the moon princess feel warm and comfortable. "What I want is you, Princess Luna…" Luna wanted to fight, but she felt as though her body had been exhausted of all energy. All she felt now was a buzz, a high… It felt good. "What about your wife?" Sadri leaned forward and pressed her lips against Luna's. The princess moaned as the kiss deepened. Then, it was over as quickly as it had started. Sadri pulled away, licking her lower lip while her eyes flashed, burning into Luna's. "Twilight Sparkle will be with us, worry you not." Sadri grinned with a malicious chuckle. "Ah, it appears our food has arrived." The waiter stopped next to the table with a large platter balanced on his back. With the magic from his horn, he lifted each mare's selected meal, and he placed it on the table in front of them. "If there is anything you require tonight, do not hesitate to ask." The waiter wished them a ‘good night’ followed by a low bow. "Enjoy your meal." "We will… Thank you for your services." Sadri gave the waiter a sexy 'wink'. “Perhaps, I will call upon your services again, young stallion. You could be quite useful to me…” Twilight added onto what Sadri said as she eyed her food hungrily. "Yes. Thank you." It was as though she didn't even notice or care that her wife was hitting on other ponies around her. The waiter bowed again before returning to the kitchen with his platter empty. With him gone, Sadri turned her attention to Twilight and Luna. "Well, shall we eat?" *** "I… I don't know…" Luna paced nervously at the door of Twilight's palace. "My sister will want me to return to Canterlot before it is time to lower the moon." Twilight was already inside and making her way towards her bed chambers. The meal she had just consumed slowed her pace slightly, but it didn’t hinder progress her more than that. Sadri stood in the open doorway, batting her glowing eyes at Luna. "It will be fine, my little moon princess…" Sadri bit her lower lip as she caressed Luna's cheek. "Just join Twilight and I for the evening. I'm certain she will appreciate it…" Luna gasped aloud, completely shocked by what Sadri was suggesting. "Yo-You mean join you and Twilight in bed? That's… That's-" Sadri's eyes flashed brightly, silencing Luna and pulling her back into a dreamy trance. "I said, it will be fine…" She bared her teeth, almost in a beast-like snarl. “Now, Princess Luna, do as I say, and join Twilight and me in bed… I promise, it will be an experience you will not soon forget…” Luna nodded her head slowly as she followed Sadri inside. The princess walked with Sadri down the dark corridor until they reached the bed chambers. Twilight was waiting patiently for them. She sat on the bed, gazing at Luna. Luna looked back at her. "She's ready for you...” Sadri lips brushed against Luna's ear. "I know you want to do this… Don't try to deny the truth. You have been wanting to sleep with that mare since the day you first spoke to her… You love her…” Luna nodded her head slowly as she inched her way towards the bed. "I… I do… I do love her… I always have…" Tears swelled in her eyes as she remembered her first Nightmare Night. The fear… The judgments… The anger… Sadri moaned as she planted a kiss on Luna's cheek. "She spoke to you when no other pony would even look at you… She befriended you when every pony feared you… You were a monster… And she made you whole again…" The golden mare’s soft words echoed in Luna's mind as she climbed onto the bed. She grinned evilly as Luna neared her prize. Twilight pursed her lips and smiled up at the moon princess that was towering over her. "Now, you can show Twilight how grateful you really are for everything she has done for you… Now, you can return the favor…" Tears streamed down Luna’s cheeks at last. She could no longer hold back her true feelings. "I will… I will show her…" Then, she lowered her head until her lips made contact with Twilight's. The purple mare tilted her chin back as her lips locked with Luna's. Sadri had done her work. All it took to get Princess Luna in bed with Twilight was a little push. She watched on with sexual pleasure and the satisfaction of the fruition on her plans. “All too easy…" The kiss was becoming more intense and passionate by the second. Within just a few short moments, both mare's lips were parting, making way for the contact of their slippery tongues. Luna drilled her tongue into Twilight's mouth, licking her partner's while grinding their marehoods together. Twilight moaned into the princess' mouth. "Oh… Mmmmm… Oh, Lunaaaaaa…" The moon princess promptly silenced her by sucking on her tongue. Sadri was becoming more and more horny by the second. A careful hoof inched its way towards her own marehood, and she moaned out loud as she rubbed her hoof against her soaked slit. This captured Twilight's attention. She looked in Sadri's direction and smiled. "Why don't you join us, Sadri?" Sadri grinned from ear to ear as she leaped onto the bed. She now towered above Twilight and the princess on top of her. "I thought you would never ask, dear…" Sadri moaned as she laid down in between Luna and Twilight. "There is nothing I would enjoy more than sleeping with my two favorite princesses…" Both Luna and Twilight laughed as they embraced the golden mare. Sadri subtlety rolled her eyes before joining them in laughter. With two princesses in bed with her, one in each hoof, she could do anything. She could have her way with the two of them, and no pony could stop her. Sadri's chest pounded with excitement as she turned her head to Twilight. The purple mare batted her eyes. Sadri smiled at her and planted a soft kiss on her lips. Then, she turned her head to face Luna. She pulled the moon princess into a deep kiss, tongue and all. Twilight watched with envy as her wife and Luna made out hotly. "Save some for me…" Twilight begged like a honey school filly as she pulled Sadri away from Luna. Sadri then got pulled into another kiss with Twilight, who took things a step forward and began rubbing her hoof against her golden marehood. The feeling of Twilight's hoof on her slit quickly gave way to a new feeling, a better feeling. Now, it was Luna's tongue that pleasured her marehood. Sadri cried out as Princess Luna licked up and down the folds of her slit. Twilight was continuing to kiss Sadri tenderly. Her smooth lips made the golden mare melt as they pressed against her own. "Mmmmm… I had almost forgotten one of the reasons why I married you…" Sadri made a silly face and chuckled softly. She let out a loud moan as Luna's tongue drove deeper inside her. Sadri then cupped Twilight's cheeks in her hooves, and she gazed into the purple mare's eyes. "When Cadence and Celestia are mine as well, you will sit by my side and be my queen…" She breathed heavily as she made her promise to Twilight. "After all, you are my wife…" ***Up Next: Downfall of a Princess*** > Part 7: Downfall of a Princess > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sadri smiled as she observed the scene before her. She had just returned from the kitchen with a steaming mug of coffee to find Twilight and Princess Luna embracing each other as they slept. It was a beautiful sight, but Sadri needed to intervene. There was still much work to be done. She set her mug down on the night stand, and she crawled onto the bed. "Luna…" Sadri nibbled on the princess' ear. "Luna, you must awaken." The moon princess groaned as Sadri's words brought her back to reality. As Luna's eyes cracked open, she found herself looking into Sadri's shining eyes. "Hello, beautiful..." Luna looked dazed and tired as she released herself from the sleeping Twilight's grip. "What is it you need?" Sadri helped Princess Luna out of the bed sheets and onto her hooves. It was time to get down to business. "The time is almost at hoof." She spoke quietly as to not disturb Twilight, but the look on her face showed she was serious. "You must now return to Canterlot, but be sure not to arouse any suspicion in your sister. Celestia cannot know of my… of our plans." Luna lazily nodded her head, confirming that she had understood. "Right… What of Twilight?" She looked back at the sleeping mare. "Will she be alright?" Sadri noticed the level of concern in Luna's voice. Then, it dawned on her that Princess Luna genuinely cared for Twilight. Her control over Luna had only unmasked her feelings for Twilight. That wasn't what Sadri had originally hoped for, but maybe she could find some use for it. "Oh, uh… She will be fine." Sadri gave Luna a reassuring smile and caressed her cheek. "Twilight has a very important role to play in the next phase of my plan. She will not be in any danger. Quite the opposite, actually…" Luna still didn't seem convinced that Twilight would be completely safe, despite Sadri’s promise. "What is your plan for her, exactly?" Sadri shook her head as she ushered the princess towards the door. "If I told you, my secret plan would no longer retain the title of 'secret'. Go to Canterlot, now. You will await my arrival." Luna nodded her head slowly before turning around and exiting the bed chambers. Sadri watched from the door as the princess walked down the corridor towards the main doors. Then, she was gone. She turned to face Twilight, who had begun to stir in her sleep. "Ah, good… Awaken, Twilight." Sadri tore away the bed sheets covering her, forcing Twilight to embrace the cold dawn. "We have work to do." Twilight muttered softly as she rubbed her eyes. "Wh-Wha… What time is it?" Sadri hesitated to answer. She actually didn't know the time. The sky outside was still dark. It would be a few hours before Luna could lower the moon. Twilight groaned as she sat up in her bed. "Here it is… Three o'clock…" She then tossed the clock she had found aside and raised her legs into the air, stretching them outward and moaning loudly. Sadri smiled sweetly as she approached the stretching mare. "Mmmmm… Did you enjoy your rest?" Twilight moaned again as she exhausted a lengthy yawn. "I did… Where… is Luna?" Her face fell into a worried look as her eyes searched the room for the moon princess. Sadri nodded her head towards the door. "She has gone ahead to Canterlot. We will join her soon. Don't fret, my love. First, we have an important task to accomplish." Twilight crawled out of the bed and onto her hooves, very eager to hear what Sadri had to say. "What is it?" Sadri passed Twilight a comb to fix her mane while she made her way to the door. "Cooking, Twilight. We must prepare a meal fit for the royal family of the Crystal Empire. I have invited your brother and his lovely wife, Princess Cadence over for lunch. Let us make sure it is a visit they shall never forget…" *** It was almost noon when the first knocking thundered through the corridors of Twilight's palace. The door was quickly answered by Spike, who then found himself face to face with Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. "Hey, guys!" Spike threw his little arms into the air with enthusiasm as he welcomed them inside. "Twilight said the food isn't quite ready yet, but you can come in." Shining gave him a warm smile as he stepped inside. "Thanks, bud. It's good to see you again, Spike." He was followed inside by his wife, and the both of them were immediately hit by the aroma of something amazing being prepared. Cadence moaned aloud, and her breath shortened. "Mmmmm… That smells… wonderful." Her eyes wandered in search of the source of the meal in preparation. "I'm glad you think so…" The princess quickly spun around to find Sadri standing behind her. The golden mare beamed at Cadence. Cadence offered Sadri a short bow. "Ah, you must be the proud maker of that wonderful aroma. Such talents must be very appreciated by Twilight." Sadri avoided the princess’ gaze as she tried to hide the red hue on her cheeks. "Twilight helped, actually." She had no trouble being truthful as she showed Cadence and Shining to the table. "I simply guided her through the baking." Shining couldn't help agreeing with his wife as he nodded towards the table. "Twilight was never the best cook, but I have to give it to her. This this does smell really good." Sadri peaked into the kitchen and motioned for Twilight to come out. The purple mare quickly followed her into the dining room. When Twilight saw that her old foal sitter had arrived, her face exploded into a huge grin, and she happily rushed forward to greet her. "Cadence!" The princess embraced Twilight with open hooves. Shining joined the hug, embracing his little sister and Cadence. Sadri smiled at the sight before her. It was a sweet, family moment. She almost felt a little upset for planning to seduce Shining and Cadence. Almost… It didn't take long before Sadri set her hungry, lustful eyes on her targets. She quietly motioned for Twilight to join her in the kitchen. "I must say, Twilight… Your brother is a lot more handsome than I recall… Wouldn't you agree?" A wave of nervousness washed over Twilight as she eyed Shining. "I… I guess… He's my brother, though. I… I've never really thought about him like that…" Sadri stopped Twilight and looked into her eyes. Her own eyes flashed subtlety, burning into Twilight's. “That is precisely why you must be the one to seduce him. We must work together, if we are to succeed, my love. I wager Princess Cadence will not so easily be seduced. We will need Shining under our control, first." Twilight nodded her head as she exited the kitchen and joined her brother and Cadence at the table. They had begun to eat, and the brother and sister laughed together as they shared the food on the table. Sadri watched with interest as Twilight began making small talk. "Now, we are ready for the main course…" The golden mare tried to smile. She tried to pretend everything was fine, and she tried to keep her nerve during the 'family' gathering she had orchestrated. Every pony was eating happily, even Spike. Sadri laughed and talked amongst Twilight and her brother, Shining, but she kept her eyes trained on her real target, Princess Cadence. Spike finished cleaning his plate and jumped out of his chair. “Sorry to bail out on you guys… I promised the crusaders I'd meet them at their place. The food was great, Sadri!” Then, the dragon was gone. The princess was contently chewing on the casserole Twilight prepared earlier. "Mmmm… Twilight, where did you learn to make this?" Cadence quickly swallowed the food in her mouth before continuing. "I've never had anything like it." Twilight shook her head as she blushed, and she turned her cheek to hide the red hue. Sadri quickly stepped in. It was time to seduce the princess. She nodded towards Twilight, signaling her to deal with Shining. Twilight understood and rose up from her seat. "Hey, Shining, do you want to try some of the cream filling Sadri and I made for the cake?" She batted her eyes towards her brother as she guided him out of his seat and towards the kitchen. Shining had an uncertain tone as he was pulled out of sight, but he didn't object. "Oh, um… Sure, Twilight. Just lead the way.” With them out of the way, only Sadri and Cadance remained at the table. The golden mare trained her burning eyes on the princess of love. "Actually, the recipe for the casserole is my own." Sadri spoke in a modest tone, absentmindedly brushing her silvery mane out of her eyes. "I simply instructed Twilight during the process of preparing it for this meal." Cadence offered Sadri a smile and a short nod of approval. "Then, my best compliments go to the chef and mastermind behind this wonderful set." Sadri nodded back at the princess, and her eyes subtlety flashed golden arcs of light. "Believe me, princess… It was made with love…" Cadence frowned, and her chewing slowed as Sadri's words hit her ear. "I see… Was this… dessert a product from your village as well?" Silence filled the air as both mares took a bite, chewed, and swallowed. Once her mouth was empty, Sadri cleared her throat. "Oh, of course, princess. Such delicacies can only be found within the boundaries of the Everfree Forest.” Her eyes flashed again. "The taste can be quite… overwhelming." Her voice sounded so soft and gentle. Cadence's gaze softened, and she looked down at her plate. Sadri grinned sexily as she stood up. Her eyes glowed brightly, like miniature stars, as she circled the table. Cadence tried to avoid the golden mare's gaze, but she felt herself being pulled to the memorizing light. "You look tense, Cadence…" Sadri moaned as she wrapped her hooves around the princess from behind. "How about a little… foreplay?" Cadence did nothing as Sadri placed gentle kisses on her neck. "Mmmm… I've always wanted to have sex with the princess of love…” Sadri placed her hoof on Cadence's cheek and pulled the princess' lips towards her own, but when both mare's lips were a breath apart, Cadence let out a chuckle, startling Sadri. "Ha... You are good…” Cadence laughed even harder as she rose from her seat. Sadri backed away, her tail swishing nervously. "I've only seen seductive skills that good in the most powerful of changelings. Who are you?" Cadence’s tone was no longer amused, and she took on a more threatening stance. Sadri knew instantly that she had slipped. She bared her teeth in a beast-like fashion. "I am no changeling…" Sadri’s eyes lit up again as she let out an aggressive snarl. "You think a pathetic changeling could do what I can? I am a domina…" Cadence raised her eyebrows. "A domina? I thought you were all driven out of Equestria by Princess Celestia after the battle of Neighbraska." Sadri growled at the princess as her horn began to glow. “Not all of us… We've been in hiding for years, biding our time… Now, my time has arrived to make Equestria suffer for the near extinction of the my people!" Sadri lowered her horn and fired a bolt of magic towards Cadence. The princess leaped out of the way, and the bolt sailed down the corridor until it exploded upon the wall. Cadence returned in kind, sending several bolts of magic towards Sadri. The unicorn dove out of the way. The table that once hosted a bountiful meal was reduced to a pile of crystal shards in a ball of fire. More bolts of concentrated magic fired from Cadence's horn, forcing Sadri to run. "Twilight!" Sadri screamed at the top of her lungs, calling for help. Twilight appeared in the kitchen doorway, and she leaped into the fray, running straight for Cadence. The princess of love only had a single moment to react before the purple alicorn blasted her with a wave of energy. "No!" Cadence’s heart sank in her chest as she fought back against Twilight. “Twilight, what are you doing?!” Her words did nothing, and Twilight continued to fire bolt after bolt of magic towards her. Both Sadri and Twilight were now on the offensive. Cadence took flight and launched herself into the air. Twilight did the same while Sadri fired magic at her from the floor. The alicorns clashed in the air. Horns locked and hooves exchanged blows. Twilight bared her teeth as she pushed her hoof into Cadence's chest. "I won’t let you hurt my wife!" Tears streamed down Cadence’s cheeks. "She's using you! Snap out of it, Twilight!" She didn't want to hurt Twilight, but she had to defend herself. The princess charged her horn and blasted Twilight towards the floor, causing her to hit the ground with a loud 'thud'. Sadri cried out from the floor where Twilight landed. "No!" The golden mare glared up at Cadence as she charged her horn. Cadence tried to fly out of the way as Sadri sent bolt after bolt towards her. As hard as Cadence tried to avoid them all, one bolt caught her in the chest, and the princess fell towards the floor. The domina covered her eyes as dust and shards of crystal rained down on her. When the dust settled, Cadence was struggling to get back onto her hooves. She cried out for her husband. "N-N-No…" Cadence groaned as she collapsed on the floor again. "Sh-Shining! Help me, Shining!" Then, she saw him exiting the kitchen. "Shining! You have to help me stop her!" Then, Cadence saw his eyes. Shining Armor smiled at her, his eyes glowing gold. Cadence gasped as she looked back at Sadri, who let out a sadistic chuckle. "Your husband is mine now…" Sadri towered over the quivering princess. "I think I'll have a lot of fun with him… I may even let Twilight join. She’s always looked up to her big brother, if you catch my meaning…" Cadence wheezed before Sadri put her hoof on her neck. "You… You won't get away with this…" Sadri pressed down hard, silencing the princess. "Oh, Princess Cadence, I already have… Now, let's take this somewhere we can be a little more… comfortable…" Cadence's eyes widened with fear as a golden mist engulfed her. Sadri roared with laughter as she dragged the princess down the hall towards the bed chambers. "Oh, this is going to be so much fun!" ***Up Next: Tyranny of the Sun*** > Part 8: Tyranny of the Sun > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A cold chill filled the air as Sadri marched on Canterlot. With the three princesses by her side, her golden fur shined eerily in the abnormal sky that had formed that morning. The sun shined much brighter than it had ever before. Twilight stopped in front of her wife and pointed a hoof towards the strangely bright sky. "Surely, Celestia will know we are coming. Maybe we should think this over… I don't want anything to happen to you." Sadri was briefly surprised by the amount of care that Twilight actually had for her. Despite the control she had over Twilight and the other princesses, there were a few things Sadri couldn't control. Then, the domina chuckled and gently pushed Twilight aside. "We have nothing to fear, my love…" She spoke in her usually sweet voice, but there was a slight edge to it this time. "The power of one alicorn is no match for the power of three. Together, we will crush Princess Celestia." Sadri lowered her head and closed her eyes. "At long last, my people will know peace… The death of Equestria is near…" Luna whimpered softly, obviously afraid of Sadri and what was to come. "Mistress, will you… hurt my sister?” Sadri looked back at her and quickly shook her head. "We will not have to, so long as Twilight plays her role…” Twilight's head lowered and nodded. “Of course…” Sadri let out a long breath, and her lips curled into a menacing grin. "Good… I look forward to your performance, love." They assessed the grand stairs leading up to the palace where several guards stood in front of the door, blocking their path. At the sight of the princesses, they raised their hooves in salute, and the sergeant stepped forward. “Good morning, princesses.” He then turned his attention to Sadri. “Who is…” Twilight quickly stepped forward, placing herself between Sadri and the sergeant. “She's with me… This is Sadri, my wife.” The guard’s eyes widened with surprise. “Oh… my apologies, princess… I didn't know-” Sadri batted her eyes at the guard as she stepped around Twilight. “It's quite alright, sir…” Swaying her hips, she approached the group of guard ponies, her eyes glowing like Celestia’s sun. “You are only doing you job and a fine job at that...” She chuckled sweetly and raised a gentle hoof to the sergeant’s cheek. “You know… I love a stallion in uniform…” Then, she did the unthinkable and kissed the guard full on the lips. She kissed him for several seconds before slipping her tongue into his mouth. As her lips mashed against the sergeant’s, her hoof lovingly caressed his cheek. The other guards watched, completely speechless by what they saw. When she pulled away at last, the sergeant had a dreamy look on his face. “I'll have fun with you, I can tell…” Sadri turned her gaze to the rest of the guards, two mares and another stallion. One by one, they offered no resistance as Sadri kissed them, putting them all under the same dream-like trance the sergeant fell into. When she was finished, Sadri wiped a hoof across her mouth. “This will be easier than I thought…” *** The doors of the palace throne room exploded open, blowing inward and sliding across the floor. Sadri's horn still glowed hotly from the magic she used. "CELESTIA!" She shouted angrily, her nostrils flaring. The princess sat atop her throne. Her eyes narrowed at sight of the destruction Sadri had caused. The room was empty, except for them and Celestia. There were no guards or any other kind of security. The princess of the sun had been expecting them. "What is the meaning of this?" Her voice was calm, but very dangerous. Sadri sneered and gestured to Princess Luna and Princess Cadence, the alicorns behind her. "Your rule is at an end, tyrant." She snarled and bared her teeth. "Both your sister and your niece have sworn their loyalty to me. You will do the same and submit to my voice, or you will die…” Celestia's eyes darted back and forth between the alicorns and Sadri. "Queen Salem…” She pursed her lips. "I remember you. It's been a long time. How is it you survived?” Sadri's eyes burned with anger and fury. "My subjects died so I could escape your onslaught! They died so I could return to exact justice on behalf of the domina!" Celestia exhaled a deep breath, holding onto her calm repose. "It was your kind that invaded Equestria unprovoked, Salem." Her words were swift and sharp, like a well researched debater. "You brought your ruin soon yourself." Sadri stomped her hoof, crying out as her horn and eyes flashed a bright, golden hue. "You tore my family apart!" She screamed at the princess. "In kind, I have done the same to yours…" Luna lowered her horn and fired a bolt of magic towards the throne. Celestia's eyes widened, and she leaped from the chair as it exploded. She landed on the red carpet, just a few feet in front of Sadri. She lowered her horn and prepared to attack, but Cadence stepped forward and raised her hoof. "Wait, Tia! This doesn't have to end in violence…" The princess of love spoke softly, almost at a whisper. "Join us, Aunt Tia." Celestia could feel tears building in her eyes, but she shut them out. "She… She's controlling you, both of you!" The sun princess cried out, losing her calm mask while pointing an angry hoof at Sadri. "Don't listen to her!" The golden mare laughed menacingly. "They’re mine, now… They do as I say, living in blissful obedience. Not to mention, they are pretty good in bed as well…” Celestia watched in disgust as Sadri pulled Cadence into a graceful kiss. When she was through with Cadence, Sadri turned and did the same to Luna, slipping her tongue into the princess' mouth. When Sadri had finished, both alicorns had a dreamy look on their faces. At last, Sadri turned back to Celestia. "They crave my touch… They beg for my approval… All they desire is my voice in conversation and my body in bed. Cadence spoke the truth, you know. You could join them and live in harmony with me, singing victory everlasting...” Celestia found if difficult to shift her hooves as Sadri inched closer and closer, stretching out her hoof. "You could submit to me…" Sadri continued as she caressed Celestia's cheek. "Join your heart with mine…" Sadri's lips were inches away from Celestia's. The princess felt herself leaning forward, wanting to kiss Sadri. She felt the desire… She felt the longing for pleasure, a pleasure that Sadri could give her. Just before her lips could touch Sadri's, Celestia shook her head and backed away. "N-N-No… No!" She yelled at the top of her lungs now. "I will not succumb to you!" Sadri's soft expression hardened into a menacing glare. Celestia stood tall, towering over the golden domina in an attempt to assert her dominance. "You may have captured the minds of my sister and niece, but hear this… I am Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria, and I will never submit to the likes of a disgraceful mare like you!" Sadri's glare subsided, and she let out a heavy sigh. "Disappointing… I was hoping to enjoy you in bed just as I have done with your sister and niece. Well, if you will not submit to me, perhaps you will submit to your most faithful student…" Celestia's heart pounded against her chest and sank into her stomach. She felt as though a hammer had hit her in the chest. "Princess?" Celestia quickly spun around and found herself face to face with Twilight Sparkle. She choked, her eyes tearing up. "Twilight… No… Not you…" Sadri circled around Celestia until she was by Twilight's side. "It's a shame…" The golden mare combed her hoof through Twilight's mane. "I almost felt bad about destroying such a precious bond… She loved you. Did you know that?" Celestia stood speechless, her eyes overflowing with the tears she could no longer hold back. Sadri frowned and exhausted a sigh. "Yes… I believe you did know. You knew Twilight Sparkle had feelings for you, but you did nothing about them. I could sense her love for you, the moment I met Twilight in my village. When I first tried to seduce her, I could feel that her heart already belonged to another. It wasn't that hard to change her mind, of course…" "Why, Princess Celestia?" Twilight pleaded, tears streaming down her cheeks. Why don't you love me? Don't you care about me?" Celestia could feel her own heart cracking in her chest, shattering into a thousand pieces. "I… I do love you, Twilight! I always have! I… I couldn't tell you, because… it wouldn't have been right… It is against the law for…" Sadri scoffed and fired Celestia a vicious sneer. "Laws?! Is that really the reason you broke her heart, or was it your own fear of being rejected?" Celestia shut her eyes and looked away. She couldn't bring herself to meet Twilight's gaze. Sadri shrugged and turned to face Twilight. "No matter… Her heart and mind belong to me, and there is nothing you can do to mend the damage you have caused." Celestia opened her eyes just in time to see Sadri pull Twilight into a tender kiss. The princess watched as the kiss escalated until tongues were exchanging saliva. "St-Stop this…" Sadri made no effort to stop. She moaned into Twilight's mouth, enjoying and savoring every moment. "Stop this, now!" Celestia cried, now, stomping her hoof angrily. Sadri wrapped her hooves around Twilight and pulled her into a hot embrace. Celestia let out a snarl that sounded as though it belonged to a wild beast. "YOU… WILL… STOP!" Her voice boomed, shaking the very foundation of the palace. Celestia fired a bolt of magic, hitting Sadri and sending her flying across the throne room. Part of the magic hit Twilight, and she collapsed, hitting the floor. Across the room, Sadri groaned as she got to her hooves. "Uhg… You bitch… You'll pay for that…" Luna and Cadence lowered their horns and prepared to attack Celestia, but Sadri stopped them. "No… Stand down. If it’s a fight she wants, it’s a fight she shall receive…" But Celestia wasn't paying Sadri any attention. The princess knelt over Twilight's motionless body. "Twilight… I'm so, so sorry…" She sobbed uncontrollably, her tears falling onto Twilight’s unconscious body. "All of this… It's all my fault. I could never tell you how I really felt. I could never tell you how much you mean to me. I… I was afraid of my own feelings… I was afraid of what they would become. I was afraid showing my love for you would turn you away from me, but I now see that I have only myself to blame… Please, Twilight, forgive me…" Tears streamed down Celestia's cheeks and dripped from her chin, falling onto the floor and onto Twilight. The purple alicorn's eyes fluttered open, and she looked up. "Princess?" She looked up into Celestia’s gaze. “Did… you really mean that? Do you really… love me?" Celestia's eyes widened, and she cupped Twilight's cheeks in her hooves. She was amazed Twilight was alright, but her heart pounded in her chest at her response to her confession. "Yes, Twilight… I do love you, more than anything…" The princess cried. "I love you, Twilight Sparkle." Twilight's eyes lit up and her lips curled into a smile. Her eyes glowed, not with the golden haze caused by Sadri's magic, but by the warmth that flowed from her heart. Sadri stared in disbelief. "Impossible… That's not possible… Luna, Cadence, get… th-them…” Her voice trailed off. The other alicorns looked around the ruined throne room with confused looks. Luna looked over at Cadence and shrugged, both wondering where they were. Then, they both turned their attention towards Sadri, and their confused looks turned into cold glares. Twilight groaned as she got to her hooves and looked back and forth between Celestia and the very nervous-looking Sadri. Sadri took several steps back, and her eyes glanced towards Twilight. "How is this possible?! Twilight, my love, what are you doing?!" "Her heart is not yours to control, Salem." Celestia spoke calmly as she stepped in between her and Twilight. “Don't you get it? What you shared with Twilight and with my sister and Cadence, it was never real. True love comes from your heart and the friendship you share with those closest to you. I was wrong to distance myself from the mare I loved most, and I realize that now.” She turned to Twilight and beamed, and for what seemed like the first time, Twilight returned that same smile, tears swelling in her eyes. Celestia turned back to face Sadri and her smile faded. “You've lost your host, and now… you've lost everything you hoped to achieve." Sadri looked back at Luna and Cadence, who now stood by Celestia. She knew Celestia was right. By losing control over Twilight, her primary host, she had lost her grip on the other princesses. Celestia’s eyes burned like brilliant flames. "It's over, Salem. Surrender." The golden mare bared her teeth and snarled. "NEVER!" She screamed and lunged forward with her horn pointed straight at Celestia's throat. Twilight, acting purely on reflexes, charged her horn. Using her magic, she caught Sadri in the cloud of her magic, just inches away from Celestia. Frozen in the air, Sadri cried out. Her legs thrashed and kicked wildly before going limp. Then, Sadri began to sob. Her cries echoed through the throne room, and the Royal Guards arrived. The guards observed the scene. A few kicked through the rubble while the rest detained Sadri. Celestia breathed heavily. "Take her away, immediately. Gag her if you must, but do not allow her to speak and seduce you…" The sergeant nodded his head and gestured for the guards to escort the domina out of the room. "Twilight!" Sadri screamed, looking back at the purple alicorn as she guards lead her away. "Twilight, don't leave me! Please! I love you, Twilight! You have to believe me! Twiliiiiiight!" Twilight shut her eyes and looked away, trying to block out the sound of her voice. Celestia draped a wing over Twilight's back in a vain attempt to comfort her. Sadri's screaming began to fade away, and the throne room became silence once again. ***Up Next: Behind Those Eyes*** > Finale: Behind Those Eyes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lower and lower they went. Twilight Sparkle clenched her teeth as a bone-shaking chill sent shivers down her spine. With every step she descended into the dungeons of the Crystal Empire, the air seemed to get colder and colder. She figured the comfort of the Royal Guards’ worst prisoners wasn't their greatest concern. She was after one pony, and one pony only, one that had been recently locked away in the darkest depths of the dungeon, a place so secure, that Twilight had to have Princess Celestia by her side in order to pass the guards protecting the cell. “Are you sure you want to do this, Twilight?” Celestia’s words of concern hung in the air as their hooves echoed against the stone stairs. “After what she did to you, perhaps it would be best to-” “I do want this.” Twilight refused to meet Celestia’s eyes, and she kept a level tone. “I need to see her one last time… I can't explain it, Tia, but when she… When she was using me, she made me feel… whole, like she was the missing puzzle piece in my life. When you defeated her, I lost that feeling, and she left me feeling empty…” The look on Twilight’s face was a look of frustration and anger. “Maybe it's just for closure, I don't know… I just need to make sure I can feel whole without her.” Letting Twilight come face to face with Sadri once again was the last thing Celestia wanted, but Twilight was determined and stubborn, so she kept her objections quiet and followed Twilight deeper into the dungeon. At last, Twilight and Celestia arrived at the bottom of the stairs. There was a long, stone corridor lit only by a few torches. By the stairs was a desk where a guard pony sat, and two more guards stood by a glass door at the end of the corridor. There were glass doors all along both sides of the long corridor, all equal distances from each other along the dark stone walls. The guard at the desk looked up at the arrival of Twilight and Celestia. “Good afternoon, your majesties. To what do I owe this visit?” He had an uninterested tone in his voice and a tired look in his eyes, like he was bored out of his mind sitting at that desk without so much as a book to read. Celestia hesitated for a brief moment, as though she might call the whole thing off at the last second. Then, she expelled a long sigh. “I need… you to allow Princess Twilight into the domina’s cell.” A very worried look washed over the guard’s face. “Yo-Your majesty, are you serious? The prisoner… She's tried to seduce her guards three times since we locked her up. If I let Princess Twilight inside, she might-” “Open the door, lieutenant.” Celestia’s nostrils flared as she issued her order in a commanding tone. She then turned to face Twilight. “I will be going. I am needed elsewhere.” Twilight nodded her head and managed a weak smile. “Thank you, Tia…” It was all she could give the sun princess, a simple ‘thank you’, but it was more than enough for Celestia. She smiled at her former student and pulled her into a loving embrace. “Just… be careful, Twilight.” Twilight lowered her gaze as she pulled away, and her smile faded. “I will…” With nothing else to be said, Celestia returned to the stairs and stood by the desk with the major. Twilight turned to face the long corridor, and she slowly began the long walk to Sadri’s cell. As she neared the glass door, the two guards gave each other uneasy looks, but they stepped out from in front of door for Twilight. Her heart pounded against her chest as she stepped in front of the cell. It felt colder than ever before. Through the glass door, she was able to make out a small, square room. All of the walls, floor, and ceiling were made from the same dark stone. It was as though the stone absorbed any light, leaving them in almost complete darkness. Sadri sat in the middle of the cell. Her eyes lit up when she saw Twilight step into the dim light, and a smile formed along her lips. “I was wondering when you'd show up, my love… I was just beginning to believe you weren't going to come see me.” She stood up and approached the glass. Twilight's eyes fell into an angry glare, and she bared her teeth. “You’re lucky Tia was merciful enough to keep you here. You’re lucky you're even allowed to speak. They should have gagged you.” Sadri’s shoulders fell and slumped forward, and she nodded her head. “You're right, Twilight, my guards probably should gag me, but you know me better than anypony, Twilight.” A cheeky grin crossed her lips as she stared the alocorn down. “You know I would just enjoy it.” She let out a soft chuckle as she fell on her rump. Then, the smug look on Sadri’s face disappeared, and she gaze fell to the floor. “You know, I never meant to hurt you, Twilight…” The purple Mare let out a frustrated sigh and rolled her eyes. “No, of course not… You only wanted to use me to dominate the princesses and rule Equestria.” Her eyes burned into Sadri’s with hot fire. Sadri looked away and slowly nodded her head. “I really did care about you… My vengeance was directed at Princess Celestia. You were my only way to get to her…” She looked up again and met Twilight’s eyes. “Those things I said about you, the reasons why I married you, they were true… All of it was true. I just hope you can forgive me, someday…” Twilight’s cold glare softened and was replaced by a sly grin. Then, Twilight began to laugh. It began softly, but it quickly grew louder and louder until Twilight was in tears. Sadri watched with a befuddled expression as Twilight began to glow, her entire body. In a bright flash of light, Twilight Sparkle was gone and Princess Cadence stood in her place. Cadence laughed even harder at Sadri’s face after her transformation. “You… You really had me going there!” She roared with laughter. Eventually, she managed to get herself back under control as she wiped the tears from her eyes. “Did you like that little trick? After Queen Chrysalis impersonated me and had me imprisoned in the crystal caves, I had plenty of time to learn a thing or two about form-changing spells before Twilight found me.” Sadri’s jaw opened wide. She looked like she was trying to speak, but only muffled gurgling noises came out. “I'm certain Twilight would have been fooled and accepted your ‘apology’ if she had actually been here. Very good, Sadri. It sounded a little rehearsed, though. You might want to work on that, if she ever does decide to come all the way down here.” Once she overcame her initial shock, Sadri glared at the princess of love. “Wha-What?! What is this?! Where is Twilight Sparkle?!” She got to her hooves and pounded the glass angrily. For a brief moment, Cadence wondered if she might be able to crack the glass holding her. “Where is she?! Where is my wife?!” She sounded absolutely furious. Cadence smiled and gestured to the door at the far end of the corridor. “Oh, Twilight is fine, don't worry. Right now, she's probably awaiting the arrival of Princess Celestia at The Silver Shield in Ponyville for their first date. Thanks to you, they can't get enough of each other. In fact…” She leaned in close to the glass as though she was about to share an important secret. “Aunt Tia told me she's considering proposing some day soon.” Sadri’s jaw hit the floor in disbelief. She shook her head violently and hit the glass again. “I may be locked in this cell, but Twilight is still my wife! We were married by the law of my village! Twilight is my wife!” Cadence held up a swig hoof, silencing Sadri. “Firstly, Aunt Tia and Luna have spoken to the chief of your village, and they have condemned you for your crimes against the Royal Family of Equestria. Secondly, The Equestrian government doesn't recognize the marital law of the Black Star tribe.” Cadence spoke matter-of-factly and swiftly. “Because of this, Twilight doesn't even need to divorce you. By Equestrian law, you were never even really married to Twilight.” Cadence’s last words hit Sadri the hardest. Her chest felt heavy. When she met Cadence’s gaze again, the princess was smirking. Her expression only made Sadri angrier. “I suppose you're just here to gloat then?” Sadri snarled like an Everfree beast at her through the glass. She tried to boast a confident mannerism, but that confidence was lost the moment she saw the change in Cadence’s expression. Cadence’s smile faded, and a far more sinister look overcame her face as she shook her head. “No, Sadri, You raped my husband and forced me to watch…” Then, she revealed a ball gag and held it up for Sadri to see. Sadri swallowed the saliva in her mouth nervously and backed away slowly. It looked menacing in the dim light. “You've just lost your speaking privileges, domina… Let’s see if you enjoy this as much as you say you do…” ***The End*** > Alternate Ending: Sadri’s Rule > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia lowered her horn and prepared to attack, but Cadence stepped forward and raised her hoof. "Wait, Tia! This doesn't have to end in violence…" Cadence spoke softly, almost in a whisper. "Join us, Aunt Tia." Celestia could feel tears building in her eyes, but she shut them out. "She… She's controlling you, both of you!" She cried out, losing her calm mask while pointing an angry hoof at Sadri. "Don't listen to her!" The golden mare laughed menacingly. "They’re mine, now… They do as I say, living in blissful obedience. Not to mention, they are pretty good in bed as well…” Celestia watched in disgust as Sadri pulled Cadence into a graceful kiss. When she was through with Cadence, Sadri turned and did the same to Luna, slipping her tongue into the princess' mouth. When Sadri had finished, both alicorns had a dreamy look on their faces. At last, Sadri turned back to Celestia. "They crave my touch… They beg for my approval… All they desire is my voice in conversation and my body in bed. Cadence spoke the truth, you know. You could join them and live in harmony with me and sing victory everlasting...” Celestia found if difficult to shift her hooves as Sadri inched closer and closer, stretching out her hoof. "You could submit to me…" Sadri continued as she caressed Celestia's cheek. "Join your heart with mine…" Sadri's lips were inches away from Celestia's. The princess felt herself leaning forward, wanting to kiss Sadri. She felt the desire… She felt the longing for pleasure, a pleasure that Sadri could give her. Just before her lips could touch Sadri's, Celestia shook her head and backed away. "N-N-No… No!” She yelled at the top of her lungs now. "I will not succumb to you!" Sadri's soft expression hardened into a menacing glare. Celestia stood tall, towering over the golden domina. "You may have captured the minds of my sister and niece, but hear this… I am Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria, and I will never submit to the likes of a disgraceful mare like you!" Sadri's glare subsided, and she let out a heavy sigh. "Disappointing… I was hoping to enjoy you in bed just as I have done with your sister and niece. Well, if you will not submit to me, perhaps you will submit to your most faithful student…" Celestia's heart pounded against her chest and sank into her stomach. She felt as though a hammer had hit her in the chest. "Princess?" Celestia quickly spun around and found herself face to face with Twilight Sparkle. She choked, her eyes tearing up. "Twilight… No… Not you…" Sadri circled around Celestia until she was by Twilight's side. "It's a shame…" The golden mare combed her hoof through Twilight's mane. "I almost felt bad about destroying such a precious bond… She loved you. Did you know that?" Celestia stood speechless, her eyes overflowing with the tears she could no longer hold back. Sadri frowned and exhausted a sigh. "Yes… I believe you did know. You knew Twilight Sparkle had feelings for you, but you did nothing. I could sense her love for you, the moment I met Twilight in my village. When I first tried to seduce her, I could feel that her heart already belonged to another. It wasn't that hard to change her mind, of course…" "Why, Princess Celestia?" Twilight pleaded, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Why don't you love me? Don't you care about me?" Celestia could feel her own heart cracking in her chest, shattering into a thousand pieces. "I… I do love you, Twilight! I always have! I… I couldn't tell you, because… it wouldn't have been right… It is against the law for…" Sadri scoffed and fired Celestia a vicious sneer. "Laws?! Is that really the reason you broke her heart, or was it your own fear of being rejected?" Celestia shut her eyes and looked away. She couldn't bring herself to meet Twilight's gaze. Sadri shrugged and turned to face Twilight. "No matter… Her heart and mind belong to me, and there is nothing you can do to mend the damage you have caused." Celestia opened her eyes just in time to see Sadri pull Twilight into a tender kiss. The princess watched as the kiss escalated until tongues were exchanging saliva. The sun princess was so distraught by watching, she couldn't bear to stand. Her legs buckled, and she collapsed onto the floor of the throne room. Then, Celestia began to cry. “N-N-No… Please, Salem… No more… I… I can't…” Sadri broke the kiss with Twilight and turned to face Celestia. “You can't what?” Her words pierced the princess’ chest. Like a predator closing in on its prey, Sadri approached Celestia, teeth bared. “Tell me, princess, what is it you can't do?” Sadri lifted Celestia’s chin so she could look in her glowing eyes. “Tell me!” Celestia’s lips began to quiver and tears streamed down her cheeks. “I can't… watch… Don't do this to Twilight, please…” Sadri let out a furious cry and struck Celestia’s cheek, sending her to down. With a forceful hoof, she pushed down on the princess’ neck, causing her to choke and gasp for air. “I've been saving this for you, Celestia… Ever since you wiped out my people, I've wanted to watch you squirm under my hood, to make you scream and beg for me to dominate you!” Celestia made a painful gurgling sound as Sadri continued to forcefully step on her neck. “P-P-Please, Sadri! D-Don't do a-a-anything to hurt Tw-Twilight!” At last, Sadri lifted her hoof, and Celestia gasped for air. She coughed something awful for several moments, breathing heavily as she collapsed in a heap. “I'll… do anything you… ask… Just don't hurt… Twilight…” Sadri grinned menacingly as she stood over the broken sun princess. “That's a good start, Celestia. You'll make a fine sex slave… Say it, princess… Say it!” Celestia nodded her head slowly, keeping her eyes glued to the floor. “Ye-Yes… mistress… I am yo-yours…” The words hurt coming out of her mouth, mostly because her throat had been crushed by Sadri’s hoof. Her eyes glanced towards Twilight, who smiled back at her sweetly. “Welcome to the family, Princess Celestia. I promise, you're going to love it. Sadri is very good to us.” The golden mare approached the shattered throne. Closing her eyes, she charged her horn and began piecing the grand chair back together. Once the throne was in one piece again, she smiled, obviously pleased with her work. Sadri then laughed hysterically as she sat down in the throne. “Ah… I believe I can get used to this… You should have let me do this the sexy way, Celestia. I would have made your submission a far more pleasurable experience.” Sadri pointed a hoof at Twilight and gestured for her to approach the throne. “Come, Twilight. Did I not promise that you would be able to rule the princesses and Equestria by my side?” Twilight looked back at Celestia and the others with an uncertain look on her face, and Luna and Cadance ushered her forward. Reluctantly, she ascended the steps leading up to the throne where Sadri waited for her. “Look a little more happy, Twilight…” Sadri pursed her lips and caressed the purple mare’s cheek. “You're a queen, now.” Then, she pulled Twilight into a sloppy kiss, one that made Twilight smile as Sadri sucked on her tongue. Celestia stood up and approached the bottom of the steps. “What about us, mistress?” Sadri’s eyes began to glow at Celestia's interruption, and her horn flared to life. She pushed Twilight aside and directed her attention towards the sun princess, causing her to flinch and cower, slowly backing away with her ears folded back. Then, Sadri’s magic faded, and her eyes returned to their normal hue. A lustful smile crossed her lips. “Celestia, my dear… You are so eager to please me. I like that. Go, my little slut. Fetch the Royal Guards, all of them. It's time for them to swear loyalty to their new ruler.” Sadri thought back to the guards she met at the entrance to the palace, how easy it was to seduce them all… She could feel her marehood growing wet just at the thought of having all of the guards lined up to pleasure her. It was an amusing idea, one Sadri enjoyed greatly. Celestia lowered her head slowly, bowing to the domina before turning around to leave the throne room. “Yes, mistress…” Sadri then turned back to face Twilight. “And you, my love… Go to Ponyville, and fetch your dearest friends. Bring them all to me. One by one, I will make their hearts beat with mine.” The domina wasn't sure which she was more excited for, having sex with every guard in Canterlot or enjoying an orgy with Twilight and her friends. Now that she was in control, there was nothing to stop her from doing either. She slumped back in her new throne and began rubbing an eager hoof into her soaking wet slit. “They will all be mine…” ***The End***
